What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! What a week it's been! We are deep, deep, DEEP in the trenches of photographing the new book I'm working on, about picnics. While it's obviously a whole lot of fun (I mean, picnics! In pretty settings! With good food!), it's also been an enormous amount of work. I spent the better part of this past winter making notes and developing ideas and otherwise planning & plotting & scheming for this book, so I'm going into these 20 picnics with a pretty well carved out notion of what's going to happen.
That said, there's then the recipes to actually create, and shop for, and test, and re-test. There are props to purchase, or borrow. There are shoot locations to scout out. All fun, good things, but all things that take time and energy. We shot 5 picnics this month alone. Jen Altman, the book's photographer, is also an author. She's working on a new book of her own (also with Roost), about epic road trips. As such, she's about to head out for all kinds of amazing travel this summer, including 10 days in Ireland next month with her best buddy, and the entire month of July away with her family. So, we're hustling, getting as many picnics shot in and around both of our packed schedules.
Between all of that, and freelancing work, and promoting my other books, and caring for our garden, and pets, and Huxley, and the house, and trying my hardest to be a present spouse to Glenn, I am, in short, whupped. Tuckered out. Tiiiiiiiired. That's alright, though. A rolling stone gathers no moss, right? Did I mention I have a mind to have a t.v. show, too? And a beverage book coming out in October? Oh, a children's book series idea? And that we might like to have a second child? Gotta keep moving! Can't stop, won't stop this train!
In other news, here's a smattering of this and that's that caught my attention this week:
*We attended the launch party last night for Asheville Grit, a new online magazine that serves as a collaborative collective of Asheville bloggers. I'm contributing to the publication, and am excited for all it offers. If you live here, plan to visit, or are simply interested in learning more about what people living here have to say, check it out!
*Totally have to pick up a copy of The Forest Feast.
*Gluten-free Rhubarb & Rose Cake (plus gorgeous images of flowers).
*Even if you don't have children, this family swing project is such a good idea.
*Naturally banish bugs with these insect-repelling plants.
*Love these easy garden project ideas for kids.
*These brass hoops would go with anything.
*I love everything about Gather Journal. The writing, the recipes, the images, all of it. My sister Theo got me a subscription for my birthday last July and I'm thinking it's a gift I'll be renewing for myself, as well as gifting to others.
*Thinking of making boozy milkshakes this weekend (we're having friends over tomorrow evening for burgers and shakes and a fire in the fire ring-YES!). Here's a whole page's worth of inspiration!
Alright, off to do a bit of housework and then hit the garden for some fertilizing love (seriously smitten with the results coming from the combo of fish emulsion and Harmony suggested to me by baker/farmer Tara Jensen). Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
*I post an image of Huxley in my "What I'm Digging" round-ups because, truly, he's what his Papa and I dig the most. We photographed a forest-themed picnic yesterday (you can see more images in my Instagram feed posted on the left column here), and he was seriously in heaven!
What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! I'm back in flannel and warm slippers today, but am still able to write this outdoors, from our porch (which, by the way, is being blanketed with the most heady aroma of multiflora rose imaginable-divine!). Intense thunderstorms brought in a heap of rain yesterday, alongside colder temperatures. No complaints here.
I was able to get pretty much the entire garden planted before the storms came, which is quite exciting. At present, we have the following planted: several types of lettuce, arugula, carrots (purple ones!), beets, peas, sorrel, rhubarb, asparagus, leeks, kale, a wide variety of tomatoes, collards, red chard, cauliflower, pak choi, red & green cabbage, fennel, hot and sweet peppers, several varieties of cucumbers, Japanese eggplant, okra, broccoli, zucchini, and yellow squash. There are some pumpkins and winter squashes and marigolds to plant, but otherwise, it's all in. Oh, and there are scads of herbs, too-cilantro, several varieties of basil, chamomile, comfrey, lemon balm, yarrow, dill, sage, Mexican & French tarragon, thyme, marjoram, oregano, rosemary (our big plant beside the house didn't survive the polar vortex, sniff), mint, lemon verbena, stevia, holy basil, epazote, and lavender. Also, planted some sunflowers and borage flowers.
It's a good, big time out here, these days. I'm even learning to love the heat and humidity that this week presented earlier. That always seems to be my hangup with gardening-the heat. I get everything in, and then the heat comes and I totally wilt. This year, though, I've got a nice wide-brimmed hat and good gardening clogs and the intention of working in the garden before the sun crests the tree line on the mountain ridge. That's the plan, for now. I'm beginning to think that's part of the secret to life, lately-to just adapt and adjust and move towards the change instead of resist it. For one thing, it's less stress inducing, and, as a result, less taxing on your body, what with all the stress hormones unleashed when we gripe and moan and complain about whatever our current situation is. I'm not advocating complacency. More like a yielding, a gentle shift in perspective. I once read a bumper sticker here in Asheville that I have since adopted as my mantra: "Bless them, change me." We can only change our perspective, and our actions, not those of others. So, instead of saying to Glenn for the umpteenth time "It's SOOOOOOOO hot!!!!!!!", I'm just going to roll with it. Iced herbal teas, some blousy men's shirts to garden in, a dip in Huxley's pool. Just call me Cool Hand Luke.
I have a few bits of other writing to share with you today. My post in Verve is up. This month, I'm chatting about mothers and cooking and more. Also, Debbie of Tend interviewed me about Handmade Gatherings and potlucking and homesteading and entreating and such this month. Lastly, my recipe for Rhubarb Buttermilk Bread (from Handmade Gatherings) was selected as Just Food's Recipe of the Month. Whoop, whoop!
In other news, here's a smattering of this and that's that caught my attention this week:
*Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Bars that require only one bowl to make? I'm on it.
*I have picnics on the brain big time lately, as that's my new book subject. Loving this roundup of dreamy picnics (thanks for sharing, Sara!).
*15 refreshing sparkling drinks for spring.
*You're never too young to begin working on building up your cognitive reserve!
*We have a good deal of shade here on our 11 acres. Loving these suggestions for growing shade-loving (or at least shade-tolerating) plants.
*Mata Traders is a wonderful company that produces ethically crafted fair-trade garments at a very reasonable price (especially their sale items!). Loving their current dress offerings.
*Succulent cupcakes that will blow your mind (thanks to Thistle & Fern for the link).
*Prescribing parks for health=YES! (Link via Roost).
*Very excited about the remaining classes this month at Villagers (especially the Fermentation Workshop next Sunday!).
*R. Brooke Priddy is a dear friend. She and her adorable and amazingly kind husband Ryan were the models at a picnic for my book this past Monday. In addition to being an incredible all-around lady (and a 3rd generation birder, too, making her quite literally THE perfect person for a "Birdwatching Picnic"!), Brooke is an amazing clothing designer. Her speciality is gowns, especially those of the bridal and social event persuasion. She made my wedding dress back in 2007, a red silk 50′s-esque number that I love. If you need a gown, she's your lady.
It'll be a working weekend for me, as I've got another picnic to throw on Sunday. Long time readers might remember this post from last May. That's the setting for Sunday's picnic. I can't wait!
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
*I post a photo of Huxley in my What I'm Digging roundups because, truly, he's what his Papa and I dig the most. After a meal at Rhubarb recently, we headed outdoors and encountered a wonderful balloon artist. Our little man was in heaven!
What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! Let the weekend commence, NOW!
Lately I've been thinking about the sublime. The divine. The ineffable. The awe-inspiring. The thing(s) that transcend explanation and move and shift us, tapping deep into the recesses of our brains and pulling us out of our stupor and into ecstasy, even if only for a fleeting second. It could be the dart of a hummingbird, or appreciating the ability of an ant to move amounts vastly exceeding their own body weight. It could be the fragrance of a Lily of the Valley, and its crescendo of tender white bells. It could be the sight of your child's hair, messy and turbulent and everywhere, unkept and tangled and yet, balanced and, even, perfect. It could be a string cover of "Such Great Heights." Whatever it is that jolts you, and stirs you, and moves you into a moment of silent reverie, that's what I'm interested in right now. Being stirred, within.
In other news, here's what caught my interest this week:
*Sarah's recent trip to Europe definitely seems to have stirred her.
*The magic and appeal of outdoor schools (like Huxley's!), or "You Can't Bounce Off the Walls If There Are No Walls."
*Want to eat the view? Here are 42 flowers you can eat!
*Oh, lavender, how do I love thee? Here's how to grow it anywhere.
*My dress crush is on sale!
*Interested in helping the honeybees? These 13 organizations and initiatives are doing just that.
*Beth Kirby and everything she does and photographs are my jam lately. Check out her cinnamon rolls on Design Sponge!
*How brilliant are Wright Kitchen's food gradient images?
*I really need this hat.
For those of you celebrating Mother's Day this weekend, I wish you, and your mama, a wonderful holiday. Relationships with our mamas are wrought with emotion, aren't they? Some are super fantastic, while others are best left unmentioned. No matter what yours is like with your own mother, or with your children, should you be a mother yourself, I wish for you a day filled with whatever it is that you most enjoy. As for me, I'll be celebrating with my mom and grandmother tomorrow, hopefully via a picnic at Lake Louise in Weaverville if the weather cooperates. And on Sunday, Glenn, Huxley and I will be enjoying an early brunch at Rhubarb, who began serving Saturday and Sunday brunch only a few weeks ago. I can't wait!
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
*I post a photo of Huxley in my "What I'm Digging" round-ups because, truly, he's what his Papa and I dig the most. We visited Jack Young Greenhouses this afternoon, or what Glenn and I think of as our "happy place." It's so lush and abundant and affordable in there that we often go a bit crazy with our purchases. Our little guy has gone there so frequently that he seriously digs it, too.
What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! Hope your week has been glorious. I've been reading, and writing, and planning, and cooking, and doing all kinds of things book-related and non. Mostly, I've been outside. The cold weather seems to have finally passed, so the garden and I have been having some serious one-on-one time.
There are now 20 strawberry plants, four big rhubarb plants, an asparagus bed filled with spears, sorrel that's returning in force, and other beds containing pak choi, cauliflower, collards, red chard, kale, cilantro, and leeks. The peas and beets Huxley and I planted several weeks ago are coming up, and there's still some red & green cabbage and broccoli waiting to be planted. All 17 of the blueberry bushes have flowers on them, and it looks like the 4 blackberry and raspberry canes will bear fruit this year. The garden is jamming and I am PUMPED!
I've been thinking a good deal about intangibles and indescribables lately. Those things that one simply has to experience to understand, that words fail to describe. I was talking about this yesterday with a longtime friend of mine, a fellow writer and mama. The irony that we were attempting to talk about the things that are nearly impossible to use language to detail wasn't lost on us.
Specifically, I've been thinking about what it means to be a parent, and to parent. None of the books you'll read before becoming a parent quite prepare you for the intangible aspects of the task. Sure, you can read up on cloth diapering and nursing and homemade remedies for colic, but nothing describes just how tired you'll be and how challenged and exhausted you'll be and how amazingly, intoxicatingly in love you'll be, because they can't. Sometimes, I'll see another mom looking at her child, or struggling to open the door to a store with a wiggling baby and a shopping cart, or managing a full-on thermal meltdown in public and I'll simply know what she's experiencing. Or I'll look at Glenn when Huxley has done or said something incredibly kind or sweet or dear and know exactly that we're experiencing the same, well, "heart swell" I think I'll call it.
This also applies to relationships that aren't parental in nature. When you meet a new friend and you just "get" each other (right, Sara?). Or when you and your partner/significant other are immersed in total silence and complete understanding as you watch a sunset. It's a state of being, and less a state of mind. It's when your heart becomes your head and you learn to experience life in an entirely immersive way. That. That's what I've been thinking about. Again, it's hard to think about because it's such an epiphanic/revelatory kind of experience. Like when someone asks how you know you've found your true love, and you reply that you just know. I'd like more knowing, and less thinking. More oneness and less fragmentation.
Annnnnnd, in less inside the folds and contours of my brain news, here's a smattering of this and that's that caught my attention this week:
*Our garden has 14 raised beds (mountain clay and rocky soil don't always make for the choicest planting!). I love these ideas for DIY beds.
*I've long been a Lillet fan. David Lebovitz explains the magic of this apertif.
*Great suggestions for natural remedies for embarrassing health concerns.
*This rhubarb galette will totally be happening in my kitchen.
*Speaking of rhubarb, Marissa has 10 suggestions for preserving it.
*It's all too easy to take remarkable things for granted, once you've become accustomed to them. Watching these two senior women fly for the first time is so wonderful (tear jerker alert!).
*Leigh Anne is a waxed canvas ninja! Her lunch bags are gorgeous!
*Looking for a pair of open, low-heeled clogs to wear this summer with skirts and dresses. These are cute (got any other recommendations?).
*These Italian sodas are beautiful. Bet they'd be nice this summer, maybe mixed with a little something-something for cocktail hour.
Locals! Tomorrow is the Hard To Recycle event. If you've got some huge pieces of cardboard, or batteries, or electric bits and bobs that you just don't know what to do with, bring them here!
I'll be heading to Charlotte bright and early tomorrow morning with my mom and Huxley (lucky Glenn scored Faryn's ticket to Moogfest, so he'll be sticking around town and having a dad's day off; more than a wee bit envious that he gets to see M.I.A.!). We're going to my nephew's first birthday party and then I'll be heading over to Park Road Books for a reading and signing. If you're in the area, come on out and say howdy!
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
*I typically post a photo of Huxley in my What I'm Digging round-ups because, truly, he's what his Papa and I dig the most. This week, though, I decided to mix it up. We hosted our own personal book launch event for Handmade Gatherings here this past Sunday. The Good Egg is an egg-based gathering in the book, filled with potluck suggestions for egg-centered dishes, egg decor, egg crafting, and egg games. So, so much fun.
What I'm Digging
Happy Friday, friends! I'm writing this to you outdoors. There are flip flops on my feet. I am not, repeat not, wearing a sweater. The grass is the greenest I've seen it in months, our giant maple is putting out greenery that borders on chartreuse, and the dandelions, spring's eternal bellwether, are popping up through the flagstone in our patio. I couldn't be more thrilled.
This week has been amazing. Handmade Gatherings published, we photographed the second picnic for my new book (due out in 2016), I taught my regular class on backyard chickens last night at AB-Tech, we enjoyed some hang time with the ever lovely Joy Wilson (aka Joy the Baker) and her friend and assistant Jon Melendez, and so much more. Meanwhile, in the stew of life that has been abundant and profuse and intense this week, I've been working on sleep training Huxley to remain in his own bed all night. Whew. So. Tired.
Without planning to do so, at all, we ended up bed sharing with our little guy. We'd bought a Moses basket, and a crib, and that was the plan. Until he was born, and he was so very tiny, and it was so very cold outside, and I was struggling so very much to recover from his birth. Keeping him with us just seemed right. Until it wasn't anymore. I transitioned him to a "big boy bed" a few months after he turned two. Every night, we'd begin in his bed, reading stories and cuddling and snuggling until he fell asleep and I'd retreat to my bed. And every night, at some point, he'd come get in bed with me. I never fought it until he began to assume what we'll just call "the starfish position." For those of you with children, you know just what I'm talking about. It's the most bed hogging position imaginable. There's also "the horizontal maneuver." Inevitably, for the parent, this means you take a foot to the chin or a head to the nose on the regular. Not. Good.
So, even though I knew it would mean a great deal of haggard nights for me, and even though I knew that I was going to have one heck of a crazy, busy, work-filled April, I decided the time had come, for us all, to have him stay in his bed for the duration of the night. I've been working on it for the past week and a half, and I'm here, now, to report that it is working. Yes, there's some crying involved. Yes, it involves a tremendous deal of effort to not go check on him. But, yes, it's all totally worth it, in the final analysis. Separation is a part of life, and he wasn't about to make the transition on his own. BUT! I'm here! I'm typing! He's sleeping! YAY!!!!
In other news, here's an article I wrote for Verve about, what else, potlucks!!!! There are NKOTB references sprinkled throughout. Consider yourself forewarned.
And here's a smattering of this and that's that caught my attention this week:
*Fiddlehead ferns, nettles, and ricotta gnudi. Mercy.
*How to brew tea in jars and keep the dang tea bag in place.
*Six food groups that will protect you from the sun.
*Lemon Yogurt Poundcake from my favorite perfumers, MCMC Fragrances.
*My friend Gina wrote a lovely essay on mindful parenting.
*Baked Almond Pancake with Strawberries & Citrus. YES!
*Intrigued by Genevieve's oil pulling, with an extra detox twist.
*Picked up a copy of The Simple Things magazine and am completely smitten.
*Very fun DIY geometric cement paperweight.
*Oh, Fog Linen. Could you possibly be any more amazing?!
Locals! So much going on this weekend. Tomorrow evening, at the same time that I'll chatting about Handmade Gatherings at Malaprops Bookstore (7 p.m.-there will be fun readings! and Rhubarb Buttermilk Bread!), there will be a free lecture by Joel Salatin at UNC-Asheville and a wonderful benefit for Carolina Ground at All Souls Pizza. I'd love to meet some of you, but totally understand if you end up attending either one of these other worthwhile events.
Also, locals. Get this on your radar, please. The illustrious and imminently talented Marisa McClellan, she of Food In Jars, will be in town next week. She's on the southern leg portion of her tour promoting her new book Preserving By the Pint. Marisa will be giving a free demo and book signing at Villagers in West Asheville. She'll also be our houseguest for the evening. Yay!
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!
*I post a photo of Huxley in my What I'm Digging round-ups because, truly, he's what his Papa and I dig the most. This was from the other morning, after he got up from his bed and came in to snuggle with me. Sigh. Love that little bean!

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., was 57-years-old on D-Day, June 6, 1944, when he landed in Normandy with the 4th U. S. Infantry Division. He suffered from arthritis, walked with the aide of a cane, had a fibrillating heart and suffered from poor eyesight. His troops were coming ashore before their tanks landed on Utah Beach, the opposite of the "tanks first, then troops" plan. They were a mile up the beach from where they were supposed to have landed. The men were under fire and taking cover. The advance was stalled. Along came the man walking upright with a cane. The one-star general armed only with a pistol, waving the cane in the air to encourage his troops as bullets whistled past his head. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., came upon his officers in a foxhole where they were trying to decide on whether to withdraw and land where they had been intended to land a mile down the beach, or to stay put and await orders from the Allied high command. They asked Roosevelt what they should do. Without a second thought, Roosevelt stood there with bullets flying past and told his men to advance. "We'll start the war from right here," he told them, and he moved forward. Like something out of a Hollywood screenplay, the sight of Roosevelt walking with his cane up the beach inspired weak hearts and his command rose from cover to follow him. The moment was later recreated in a Hollywood movie, "The Longest Day," with actor Henry Fonda portraying Roosevelt. The 4th Infantry Division broke through the German lines while other Allied forces became bogged down. For his actions that day, Roosevelt would receive the Medal Of Honor posthumously, for he had died of a heart attack on July 12, 1944, after his men had liberated the French port of Cherbourg. Asked what had made D-Day a success for the Allies, General Omar Bradley said, "Ted Roosevelt - Utah Beach." General George Patton seconded the thought, calling Roosevelt "the bravest soldier I ever knew." Author H. Paul Jeffers tells the story of an inspiring man's life intelligently in his well-researched "Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.: The Life Of A War Hero," amazingly the first biography ever written about the general. Roosevelt also led a fascinating life before World War II, as detailed by Jeffers. The subject: Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., was one of Republican President "Teddy" Roosevelt's four sons, all of whom fought in World War I in France (one son Quentin, a pilot, was killed during that war). Their cousin was Franklin Roosevelt, who later became a U. S. president himself. Following in President Theodore Roosevelt, Sr.'s footsteps couldn't have been easy, but "Jr.," who preferred to be called Ted or Teddy, led a fascinating life as detailed here by author Jeffers. The younger Roosevelt graduated from Harvard with a bachelor of arts degree and, shunning the family's money and influence, decided to make his fortune on his own. Roosevelt's first job after graduation was working in a carpet factory 55 hours a week for $7 a week in pay. Eventually Roosevelt's resume would include the following: a highly successful investment banker, the youngest regimental commander in World War I (who survived being gassed and shot by the Germans), a New York assemblyman, governor of Puerto Rico, governor general of the Philippines and vice-president of Doubleday publishing. He somehow found time to author eight books and numerous articles as well. He married a woman named Eleanor (not to be confused with Franklin Roosevelt's wife of the same name) in 1910 and had four children with her. One of his children, Quentin II, served with the 1st Infantry Division and also landed in Normandy on D-Day (making them the only American father and son to land on the beaches that day). Eight months before the U. S. entered World War II, he petitioned the Pentagon for a return to active duty and they honored his request. When the war broke out, Roosevelt became a brigadier general who led his forces to victory in Africa and Italy before his actions on D-Day. How is such a man made? What makes him tick? Who the hell was Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.? I was only vaguely aware of him prior to reading this book. H. Paul Jeffers answers those questions and more in "Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.: The Life Of A war Hero." He does so with an exciting narrative style that brings this complicated man, and his family, to life. Jeffers book includes an in-depth look at the Roosevelt family tree (Ted's relatives included Pilgrims on the Mayflower and a member of the First Continental Congress), both before the birth of the general and after his death to create a complete portrait of the family that helped mold more than one American hero. The book: "Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.: The Life Of A War Hero" is an easy to read, insightful 282-plus paged hardcover. It was published in 2002 by The Presidio Press (http://www.presidiopress.com) and includes 14 pages of photos. The book contains an index but no footnotes. Jeffers decided against using footnotes because President Teddy Roosevelt once wrote one his biographers to tell them he hated footnotes because they "distract from the narrative." The author: H. Paul Jeffers, a former broadcast journalist, has more than 50 books to his credit, including "Ace Of Aces: The Life Of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker," "Colonel Roosevelt: Theodore Roosevelt Goes To War, 1897-1898" and "An Honest President: The Life And Presidencies Of Grover Cleveland." Recommendation: "Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.: The Life Of A War Hero" by H. Paul Jeffers is a colorful, exciting read. Jeffers presents an overview of a man's life that many biographers would fail to present. The book is worth adding to the library of any history buff. It's a tale of courage, of family and of love of life that is appropriate for all ages (no gory details of battle, for instance). Roosevelt's men may have landed on the wrong beach on D-Day, but Roosevelt was the right man in the right place at the right time. His story is an inspiration and this book, amazingly the first biography written about Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is highly recommended as a truly inspiring tale of a great man. Trivia note: President Theodore Roosevelt Sr.'s great-great-grandson, Kermit Roosevelt, is a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania and recently published his first novel, "In The Shadow Of The Law."

Gary Roberts admits his first six months at Swindon have been disappointing but he is determined to turn things around.
The 28-year-old winger joined Paolo Di Canio's side in the summer after leaving Huddersfield, but since returning from a calf injury has struggled to nail down a first-team place.
"I think I'm my own biggest critic and I know I've been below-par personally," he told the Swindon Advertiser.

However, despite the nationalist orientation of his music, Albéniz felt increasingly disenchanted with the conservative politics, religion, and cultural backwardness of Spain. So, in 1890 he moved to London, and four years later to Paris, which remained his principal residence for the rest of his life. Under the influence of French music, Albéniz's style underwent a dramatic transformation.

The Bradley Center
Attendance: 18,717
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Andrew Bogut finished with 21 points and eight rebounds, as the Milwaukee Bucks took a 93-81 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Luc Mbah a Moute added 18 points and 11 boards for the Bucks, who have won two in a row and five of six. Carlos Delfino and Jerry Stackhouse scored 16 and 14 points, respectively.
T.J. Ford had 20 points off the bench for the Pacers, who had won their last two. Danny Granger added 14 points in the setback.
The Bucks built a double-digit advantage in the first quarter thanks to a 14-2 run, which Mbah a Moute ended with a layup for a 28-15 edge.
"There was a little bit of a cushion for us," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "It was their smalls against our smalls and we were fortunate enough to get it (the win)."
Milwaukee led 31-21 moving to the second, then scored the first eight points of that quarter to achieve a game-high lead of 18. However, the Pacers battled back with a 10-0 run to prevent the game from becoming a blowout. Mike Dunleavy closed that burst with a pair of jumpers to bring Indiana within 39-31.
Ford then closed the first half with a jumper and a three-pointer to cut the Pacers' deficit to 53-46 at the break.
A Roy Hibbert jumper opened the third quarter, and Granger followed with two free throws to bring the Pacers within three, but the Bucks staved off the comeback with the next six points to take a 59-50 lead.
Milwaukee was up 70-63 after three quarters and never relinquished the lead from that point on. The Pacers were within 80-74 following two Dunleavy free throws with 5:42 left, but Brandon Jennings answered with a three.
After Ford turned the ball over, Delfino sank a jumper for an 85-73 lead, and the Bucks led comfortably from there.
Hibbert said he was particularly disappointed in Indiana's inside game, particularly on defense.
"I've had trouble in the past guarding him (Bogut) and today he took advantage of it," Hibbert said. "They hurt us on the boards. That has to be my responsibility to keep the big guys off the offensive glass."

We have to hand it to our indigenous Khoe and San ancestors, they really knew about sustainability and how to find everything they needed in nature without destroying its future. And it seems that nature had an answer for every ailment too. Take the succulent known as 'kougoed' (Sceletium tortuosum; 'kougoed' literally means, 'chew(able) things' or 'something to chew'), not only was it used as a natural mood enhancer it also happens to cure headaches, constipation and toothache. As one Khoe woman explained, " 'kougoed' makes you love the whole world. It doesn't matter how angry you are, eat just a little 'kougoed' and you will forget about your bad mood. It won't make you fall down, walk with a high step, wake up with a hangover or go to jail…it won't make you drunk or aggressive, but you will believe that no one is richer or more beautiful than you". We could perhaps all do with a dose of that, especially on a Monday morning.
This cute 500ml bottle is to be replaced by a 750ml bottle in the new year. Enjoy our festive season special until 31 December in a never-to-be-repeated offer!

We are like 80% certain these bikes are not soaked in radiation and doomed to kill you via aplastic anemia. We'd guarantee it, but you know how lawyers get. But for real: we're pretty sure. Currie Tech official site
Would either of these scooters be good on hills?
This is very tempting. I've been looking to get a bicycle for my very short commute to work (only a couple miles), but I was worried about the big hill in-between my home and office. I'm not very athletic and I could picture myself walking the bike up the hill often.
I spent several months researching e-bikes for commuting purposes before buying one personally. I did not choose to buy an eZip, but I had a nice big budget to work with. In short, the bikes you see here on sale are the low-end models from a reliable company. The only way you could get something for a similar price elsewhere is an off-brand import which will be not worth your time or money to attempt to repair when it inevitably breaks. Currie is a brand that's been around a while and has people who know how to fix them and replacement parts available in the US. As a comment, replacement batteries (Which you'll need after a few years) run over a hundred bucks each right now. But at least you'll be able to get one. I would personally choose the bike design over the scooter for ease of travel if the battery runs low when you're out and about, but there's nothing wrong with the scooters. I did test drive some eZip bikes. They ride like a cruiser (and similarly have not enough gears if you need to deal with hills). They are very heavy. I would not want to ride it without the motor, but you can use it like a regular bike when the battery dies. The eZip bikes are not as good as a pricier models from Currie or other brands, but they are *way* cheaper. To get something noticeably better you're looking at well over a thousand dollar price tag. One of the major benefits of the eZip Trailz is the ability to switch from pedal assist (think of it as a cheater mode making your pedaling take you further, and using your pedaling to make the battery last longer) to throttle (like a motorbike only with super crappy power. I only liked the throttle on the eZip to get me started when a light turns green and I'm on high gear) I would rely on an eZip to get me over a few small hills (maybe a block or two) or steep sections (like a painfully steep driveway) that you usually want to get off and walk past, or just hate pedaling up. It drained fast on big hills. The motor of the eZip I tested would help me keep up with friends who were in better shape as I biked like a slacker, but it would sound loud and annoyed as I did so. I would not rely on an eZip to get through your usual commute faster, or to go up lots of hills. The motor just isn't that powerful, and the battery on most of the eZip models has about a 15 mile capacity on relatively flat ground. Basically you get what you pay for. But if you don't want to shell out a thousand bucks or more and you know you would bike more if you didn't have to get off your bike for hills, this is a great deal.
It would be so easy to pick up chicks with one of those scooters!
Only an estimated 200 charge cycles though...if you're using it for a commuter bike, you're probably going to end up spending more on batteries than anything else. My suggestion, start with a good bike, then power it with one of these. http://www.electricrider.com/crystalyte/index.htm
I have owned and ridden this bike for about a year now so let me share some thoughts. While serious bike owners who would use this to commute every day and long distances might be better buying a more expensive bike, I think the occasional commuter and recreation user would see a lot of value from this given the lower price. In the summer I ride this almost every day for an hour or so. I enjoy the exercise but we live in a hilly area and the motor keeps me from having to jump off and walk the bike up a hill if I'm tired. Mine needed a new controller which was replaced easily (plug and play), replaced by warranty by a helpful California-based support team. I haven't needed to replace the battery after a year of use and charging probably 60 times. You can charge it at any time. The max charging times is for full charges, I'm told. Fractional charges don't count as a full charge until combined they add up to a full charge (approximately). I did buy an old used battery case that needed battery replacement and found that Batteries Plus was cheaper ($80) than buying new ($120 plus shipping) and they installed and soldered at no extra charge. Torque is decent but this type of motor has less torque than the more expensive hub motors. But it's decent. On a flat surface it's pretty darn fast. On the steepest hills I usually pedal while using the motor on full power. On hilly rides with me using the motor 60-70% of the time, I can get a couple of hours out of a single battery before it needs charging. I like having a spare so one can be charging while I'm using the other. One important note is how heavy the lead acid batteries are. They sit high on the bike so you have to be careful steering on loose ground. The weight distribution compared with a normal bicycle is completely different. I like this bike so much, I'd buy another at this price, though after a few years I can see myself upgrading. The next technology level up is around $1,000+.
Dirtfox, whooven -- Thanks so much for the info!
These bikes use lead-acid batteries and are not like most other "rechargeable" batteries. Do not let these batteries discharge like a NiCad, it damages them internally and decreases the amount of charge they can hold. Whenever there is an outlet available, plug them in. I read about people wearing these batteries out in less than a year and it's because they discharge them completely before recharging them. Do not do this. Lead-acid batteries have an almost indefinite life-span if you keep them topped up. This is why car batteries last so long - they're always topped up.
As CaviMike said, car batteries last a good 5+ years because they are always maintained at 12.6v when the vehicle is running. Whatever voltage this battery is at new, you should try to maintain it at that level all the time to ensure the longevity. Now I can't remember what I was going to ask, other than if anyone purchased this last time around.
I bought an eZip Trailz bike for my wife for Christmas and was pretty impressed so I got another one for myself when they went back on sale. After a few rides I am very happy. I like to ride in a fairly hilly region but my 63 year old knees have bothered me a lot. With the eZip bike in PAS (pedal assist) mode it takes a lot of strain off my knees when going uphill. The bike is heavy as many have said, but on level ground it is easy to ride without much needed assist. I was concerned with only 7 speeds but with the PAS it doesn't seem to be much of an issue, pedal effort seems to be about the same no matter what gear you are in. There may be better options for regular commuters, but for a casual rider these seem to be a very good choice for the price.

"Fine Data Recovery Methods"
Version: R-Studio 7.2 build 155117
It recovers separately photo, email and other files, During data recovery process i faced some technical problem so i used another data recovery tool from
www.flash-video-soft.com/data-recovery/. It recovers instantly all data.Cons
I have used this tool but it taking long time to recovery process
The software performs expeditiously well on my extrnal hard drive of 100 GB. As the drive is quite old and computer couldn't able to detect it easily and so as your software, I can't blame the software for its incompetency in detecting failing hard drive. Not sure weather the software can performs at the same speed on larger capacitive hard drives, can say of 1 TB in size.
"Advance data recovery tool"
Version: R-Studio 7.2 build 155117
R-Studio Data Recovery is good software to recover lost data from corrupted hard disk drive, i used demo version but technical support team is not active then finally i used Kernel for windows Data Recovery from http://www.softwarerecovery.org/.
It is available here http://download.cnet.com/Kernel-for-Windows-Data-Recovery/3000-2248_4-75222240.htmlCons
Not easy to use
"Smoothly worked for me, all my data recovered"
Version: R-Studio 7.0 build 15411
i recovered all my data. My Lenovo laptop with a WD HDD stopped booting Windows 7, neither in safe mode. Rebooting from last good Windows did not worked, I took the disk and connected via USB to other laptop and the partitions where not recognized. I tried with Power Data Recovery 6.8 and Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery and both failed to recover my data. Demo version of RStudio read all the filesystem folders structure in the first attempt. You can open each folder and even preview your photos and documents. I bought the license (worth the money). Then marked what I wanted to recover and clicked Recovery Marked, choose a destination folder in other disk and that is it. You get your folder structure saved. Y recovered all my data. I did not used their support, neither more advanced thigs (except scan I explain in cons)
I am not a saavy IT guy, only know the basics. Once I bought the license I did an scan (even I saw my files in the demo without scanning). It took almost 4 hours for a 500 gb disk (USB connected). After that, RStudio showed many possible partitions and suggested with green color good candidates to be your partitions, none of them were the right ones. I clicked the one that I initially used (before scanning)and saw all my files. So, try first without scanning, just do Open Files in a good partition candidate you saw (in my case I had 2 partitions 100 and 400 GB, the second one was more probably my data so I took it). If you have to scan do not give up if the greens do not work, then try to see important files in each partition, if you can preview them then you can recover them. The SW seems to have many advanced features for more knowledge people. I think if you start to navigate in the options you can get lost. You can keep in the first screen and still recover your data.
This did the magic recover for me, after failing with other well rated products. If you are looking for free software this is not for you. It does not have features to fix your file systems, at least for dummies, but you can recover your valuable data to other disk and then do a fresh install of Windows, as I did. The good thing is that you do not have to pay the license upfront. You can download a demo, and check if RStudio can allow you to preview your files, only buy if it works for you.

It is a good tool to recover data after all kind of disk disasters. I liked its search option, which made data recovery task very easy. I recovered my data, which is lost due to accidental formatting of the hard drive. I recovered up to 350 GB data with the help of this tool.
Regarding data recovery, this software is quite good, but it is very complex to use. I am also not satisfied with its technical support facility as it was not available for 24/7.
"Junk! Junk! Junk!"
Version: R-Studio 6.1 build 152025
None that I found.
Cannot even see drives or folders that I have NO trouble with. Cannot find Recycle Bin, which is incredibly SAD!
DO NOT TRY OR BUY. It does nothing!
"Phenomenal Data Recovery Software"
Version: R-Studio 6.1 build 152025
The Mac product created an image and recovered files (preserving directory structure and file names!) from a failing hard drive and was able to skip unreadable segments of the hard drive in the process. Almost as important was the company's decision to permit you to make an image using their Demo software. Once the image was successfully created, purchasing the license was a foregone conclusion! Every other data recovery product I tried stopped in the middle of recovery and said to use Chkdsk to fix the drive. By the time I found R-Studio, the drive would not mount on three different XP systems, due to the read errors. Since it couldn't be mounted, Chkdsk could not be run. Even though the drive would not mount, I was able to see the partition containing my data using an Acronis boot disk from Disk Director, but Acronis could not copy the partition or clone the disk due to the unreadable file segment errors. Drive failed in the middle of a backup. WD My Book 250GB drive 10yr old
R-Studio's product is hard to find. I googled every possible combination of "data recovery", "unreadable file segment" etc. and just happened to read a thread by a school teacher who was desperately looking for help in recovering data from his failed drive. He was eventually told to take the drive to a specialty shop, but he was nice enough to follow up, give thanks for the help, and indicate that he no longer needed help, since R-Studio had done the trick for him.
Much better than any product I've used. Recovers data from unmountable partition. Automatically skips unreadable file segments. Preserves file names and folder structure. Demo policy is tremendous.
"Buyer Beware!!! Spend Your Money Elsewhere"
Version: R-Studio 6.1 build 152025
Relatively fast at finding only files that are corrupted and cannot be opened.
Bought this software within the last ten days (June 2013) and ran it on a 500G external (non-OS) disk drive, with respect to which I had already run 3 other recovery programs. This piece of .... (IMHO) did recover lots of files and folders only a couple dozen of which were not corrupted and could be opened. The other recovery software produced thousands of usable files and several gigs of recoverable information.
"Recovered 600GB of RAW"
Version: R-Studio 6.1 build 152025
Comprehensive capability. Good User Interface. Lots of support resources. Very effectively recovered file system and variety of files in ntfs partition that had gone to RAW.
Lacks data recovery wizard, but otherwise easy to use. Spent $70 on another product before discovering R-Studio.
Tried three or four other data recovery products that all failed miserably before finding R-Studio (relabeled as Seagate File Recovery Software). Worked right out of the box, where the others had failed.
"Only file retrieval you will need"
Version: R-Studio 5.4 build 134577
It works. It brings back folder structures and file names where others do not. It is relatively cheap considering how well it performs. Runs well on machines with limited specs.
Not free. I did have some issues running it on Vista, but really I blame Vista.
After paying much more for another product that retrieved almost nothing, and what was retrieved was basically a nameless pile of files, I was relieved to find R-Studio. It brought back thousands more files complete with folder structure and original names. For files that it couldn't retrieve all the name information it still brought back what it could. If I never use it on another drive it will have more than paid for itself just by this one use.
"Ok software, INSANELY HORRIBLE Customer Service"
Version: R-Studio 5.4 build 134372
The software generally works OK, though it is sometimes hard to determine on the screens what data/files are important, and what are not important.
Customer service is definitely *not* important to them. "Screw the customer" is pretty important to them, though.
I purchased R-Studio to recover data from a bad drive. Then, a little over a year later, I needed to recover a totally dead system that didn't even boot up from a corrupted hard drive. I looked into a back-up image to get the R-Studio boot disk creator program to start my recovery. However, I didn't have the boot disk installer available on that image.
I called the R-Tools Customer Support to have them send me a link to the boot disk installer (which was part of the R-Studio package I had purchased). However, I was told by the R-Tools representative that my 1 year warranty had expired the month before, and that I needed to purchase R-Studio *AGAIN* to be able to get to the same software I had ALREADY PURCHASED! No negotiation.
So, I left R-Studio (cursing up a storm), and purchased Active@ File Recovery Pro. It's cheaper, quicker, and better.
Good riddance, R-Studio!

Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration. For David Gold (Aaron Harnick), a despondent thirty-year old crashed and burnt filmmaker and LA refugee reduced to moping around his parents' home all summer long, that inspiration strikes out of the blue in the form of the boisterous and attractive Judy Berlin (Edie Falco). Judy, not exactly a shrinking violet, and David bump into each other on the very day she's leaving for LA to more seriously pursue her acting career. Not incidentally, she informs David in parting that she'd had a crush on him in high school. This is enough to motivate him to track her down where she works — a tacky and humiliating gig as a pioneer housewife at a historical village — and after an enjoyable day together, David's in love. Meanwhile, Judy's semi-estranged mother, prickly grade school teacher Sue Berlin (an excellent Barbara Barrie) is dealing with demons of her own. It's the first day of school, which means the veteran teacher, adored by the children but barely tolerated by the faculty, faces another torturous school year in the presence of David's father, principal Art Gold (Bob Dishy). Sue has a deep-seated and unrequited crush on her boss which is obvious to everyone but Art; himself merely going through the motions in his marriage to his relentlessly chipper wife Alice (Madeline Kahn, in her last film role). If folks act odd every month during a routine full moon, it's no great leap to speculate that the day's imminent solar eclipse will bring about some rather strange events. Just don't expect any big Hollywood denouements in Eric Mendelsohn's captivating suburban slice of life tale; no dramatic, instantaneously life-altering events or momentous happily-ever-after ending. That's fine because such artifice wouldn't at all fit this subtly nuanced, and thus incredibly resonant film. The characters in this black and white picture, beautifully photographed by Jeffrey Seckendorf, display so much emotional depth, so many moral shades of gray, that they generate all the color "Judy Berlin" could ever need. There's simply not a weak performance in the bunch. Ironically, for all the familiar faces turning in solid performances, it's an especially poignant subplot concerning Dolores (Bette Henritze), a retired, Alzheimer's-stricken teacher who interweaves amongst the other characters in an almost wraithlike fashion, that is the most haunting. If new-agey record label Windham Hills were ever to consider branching off into film distribution, "Judy Berlin," not as sappy as a Hallmark Film, would make a perfect release, as evidenced by Michæl Nicholas' pretty piano score. Don't cringe. In this case, that's actually a compliment. All they need, as David would be the first to tell them, is a little inspiration.

Item title reads: " Mustapha Kemal. Makes state entry into Turkish capital from Angora."
Constantinople, Turkey
President Mustapha and his entourage walk towards camera. The party stand on the boat deck facing camera, having a smoke. They sit at a table on the boat deck talking.
Intertitle reads: "Is hailed by population as he arrives from Angora for a state visit, embarking at Ismid to cross the sea of Marmora" "Throngs line the shores of the Bosporus to greet the President's launch."
M/S of the launch. The President in a fez hat, sits with a lady in a striped Muslim headscarf. The President inspects guards, while people watch from the top of railway carriages. The group walk, smiling towards camera. Soldier with white plumed helmets march past in front of camera followed by sailors, followed by procession of monks in ceremonial costume. The costumes look like grassy haystacks carrying long poles.
Note: see repeat sequences in *PM0692* 692.20. Very weird, quirky costumes.
