Title: Moonlight and Mechanicals
Author: Cindy Spencer Pape
Publication Info: Carina Press 2012
Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy
Some of you might remember that when Kilts and Kraken came out my review was basically one long squee of delight (Clockwork Dog!). I was excited about reading the sequel, Moonlight and Mechanicals (henceforth referred to as M&M).
M&M had all kinds of problems and I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Kilts and Kraken, but I admired it for its ambition. In this book, the author takes a lot on, but she can't carry it off smoothly. However, die-hard fans of steampunk will find a lot to admire and enjoy about this ambitious book, which takes on the ramifications of steampunk on political, social, and environmental levels while also dealing with a complicated romance. The book earns itself a terrible grade and yet the author remains on my auto-buy list because I want to see if, with more practice, she can pull off this kind of scope better in the future.
M&M concerns the exploits of Wink, a former street urchin, now adopted daughter of nobility, and Liam, a werewolf policeman, in a steampunk/magical Victorian England. Wink is the inventor who invented George, the clockwork dog who made me so very happy in Kilts and Kraken. I'm pleased to say that we finally find out why she built a clockwork dog, and the answer isn't just "because it's cool". While Kilts and Kraken worked fine as a stand-alone, M&M is more closely tied to its predecessor, Steam and Sorcery (all these books are part of the Gaslight Chronicles series). It was OK on its own but I definitely felt like I was missing some things. Here are the three most important the plot elements:
1. Wink loves Liam. Liam loves Wink. Liam thinks he can't ever marry because he might become an abuser like his father was. Conner loves Wink. Liam tries to set Connor up with Wink so she can be happy while Wink tries to convince Liam that they should be an item.
2. People and dogs keep disappearing from the Mayfair district. Wink gets Liam to investigate.
3. There are rumors that a society of second-born sons and other disenfranchised members of the nobility might be planning an assault against the Royal Family at the Ascot races.
I believe I can sum up all the problems with the writing in M&M with this exchange of dialogue:
"Don't be ridiculous." He came even closer, looming over her. "Do you really think I'd let you leave here alone? That I could let you leave here unescorted? It isn't safe. I killed a vampyre here in Mayfair the other night".
Wink stood, facing him down. "So? I've been killing them since I was nine. What's your point?"
Wink's line is great. It tells you about their history and their relationship to each other and their respective personalities, plus it's funny and tough. The problem is that in addition to her line sounding way too modern, there's the awkward business about her standing and facing him down. I can tell she's facing him down, because of her great albeit anachronistic line! You don't have to tell me that she's standing up to him – just let her do it! There was plenty of awkward writing in Kilts and Kraken, but the book was so fast paced that I barely even noticed. M&M is longer and more detailed and there's no escaping the clunk factor.
There were a lot of other things that bugged me. I wanted to like Wink. She is smart, determined, brave, and interesting. I appreciated that she isn't forced to be either "girly" or "manly" – she likes what she likes. Sometimes she likes to dress up. Sometimes she likes to wear coveralls. Depends on what she's doing at the time. I also appreciated that she has sexual agency and is able to confidently initiate sex as well as take precautions against pregnancy to the best of the time period's abilities (although there's this magic hymen business that I just don't believe at all).
However, Wink is also deceitful and manipulative (see: magic hymen), and she's never called out on that. Rather, her manipulations of Liam are viewed positively, as being for his own good. Dishonesty is a big trigger for me and I thought that when she's caught lying to Liam, he should have greeted this with a big WTF, not a fond chuckle. Liam was a nice enough character, but I never really "got" him and wondered if I missed most of his character development back in the first book of the series. I think it's pretty significant that that's all I can think of to say about the hero of the book. The romance never rang true. The characters seem to be in love because the author has decreed it, not because of a natural, organic development of the characters.
This book was really odd in terms of how characters react to things. Wink describes an incident from her childhood, and it's horrific, and Wink is all, "Wasn't that a funny little anecdote about child molestation?" and Liam is all, "OK, sure." Wink's father finds her in bed with Liam and she says, and I swear this is the exact quote, "Morning, Papa, did you need something?" And Dad "sighed and smiled". REALLY? 'Cause my Daddy would have got out the shotguns (to kill the boyfriend with, not to hasten the wedding). At the very least you'd think Wink would be embarrassed to seen in bed naked by her father, sheet or no sheet, and that Wink's dad would have fled the room screaming, "My eyes! My eyes!" Sexual agency is great, but let's have some boundaries, people, OK? Please? The age difference between Wink and Liam isn't that significant but the author points out that Wink is grown up so many times that after a while all you can think about is that they met when Wink was a child and Liam is soooo much older than she is (the author protesting too much comes up several times with regard to different topics). Meanwhile huge plot points appear and vanish. The thread with Connor is the dominant one for much of the book, and then it just disappears.
I realize that I've just described a book that earns a D at best, but I'm giving it a C- because the world building showed true effort and creativity. The steampunk isn't just some nifty gadgets thrown around the pages. It's an important part of the world, and it affects things – the environment, information sharing, and the economy. There are references to how things work, and why Wink prioritizes some inventions over others. This is why I think that people who are major steampunk fans might enjoy the book even with all its faults. If you haven't tried steampunk before, don't start with this one! But if you are already a fan, you'll enjoy the details the author includes to create a grounded setting.

HELENA — Republicans on Friday unveiled their plan for funding public schools in Montana, saying it not only provides more state money than Gov. Brian Schweitzer's proposal but also allows for increased oil and gas money for schools in the future.
The GOP revealed details of the sweeping plan Friday morning in a series of amendments and votes in the House Appropriations Committee, using its majority muscle to weave the plan into House Bill 2, the major spending bill for state government.
The state funding, however, is contingent on the passage of several other bills, some of which have not even been introduced.
Sen. Llew Jones, R-Conrad, the chief architect of the plan, said later Friday that the plan is far from a done deal, but that he's confident Republicans can move it through the Legislature in some fashion.
"I think there is an obligation in this body ... that education is one of our best investments," he said. "I won't say (passing the plan) won't be without a little pain, without some discourse, without some disagreement. But I would think we'll get it done."
Jones said the plan aims to simplify school funding, give schools a slight inflationary increase in state funds and budget authority, and add something called "pathways to improvement," a program that provides extra money to rewards schools for achieving specific educational goals.
The plan also borrows a page from Schweitzer's funding proposal, but to a lesser degree.
Schweitzer, a Democrat, had proposed taking 90 percent of oil and gas revenue that goes to one-third of Montana's school districts, and distributing it to all schools statewide. It amounted to $76 million for the next two years.
The GOP plan instead would cap the oil and gas funds that school districts in oil and gas production areas can receive and directs the excess — about $30 million the next two years — to schools statewide. Most of the oil and gas districts are in rural northern and Eastern Montana.
Rep. Walt McNutt, R-Sidney, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee and whose Eastern Montana district includes several schools with some of the largest oil and gas revenues, said Friday morning that the plan represents a "huge compromise" for districts receiving that money.
Democrats reacted cautiously to the proposal Friday, saying the amendments to enact the funding in HB2 were just drafted Friday morning.
Denise Juneau, the state superintendent of public instruction, said the plan appears to provide adequate money for schools, but that she wants to see the actual bills.
"I just have to say that I haven't been able to see what the entire plan is, and see what it all means for schools," she said. "I think it brings funding up almost to the level of the governor's budget, but it does rely on all of these transfers from different areas."
A spokesman for Montana's school boards, however, said they've been working with Jones on the plan, like what they've seen, and that it will provide about $12 million a year more for schools statewide through the "pathways to improvement" program.
"The way we hope it's drafted, is that decisions on how to spend that money will be left to the local school boards and local bargaining units," said Lance Melton, executive director of the Montana School Boards Association.
The plan also collapses several funds earmarked for schools into one account and the state's general treasury, and uses $33 million of one-time transfers from various government funds to finance parts of the plan.
Jones said these changes will come up with enough money to pay for the plan the next two years as well as simplify school funding, which over the years has morphed into a complex array of earmarked funds that few people understand.
"We're just trying to make it so that someone looking at school funding can have half a chance of understanding it," he said.

I am in the process of updating my financial affairs and came across this subject on the internet, which led me to this book. I borrowed it from the library and picked up a copy of my own. Has anyone here had experience with others trying to take control of their finances? If so, what changes did you make that will protect you or your loved ones from this type of abuse? "The financial affairs of perhaps as many as a million and a half aging adult Americans now are being managed against their wishes by court-appointed guardians or conservators. These people are not mentally ill, and they are not incompetent. But they are asset-rich and "old." In the aggregate, senior Americans now possess unprecedented wealth and are living far longer than might have been expected even a couple of decades ago (mortality tables developed even in the 1960s are of limited use today). Not surprisingly, these circumstances have in some instances led to disappointment for expectant heirs and other beneficiaries of estates who may have "counted their chickens before they hatched." The problem addressed by Dr. Diane Armstrong's THE RETIREMENT NIGHTMARE" is that increasing numbers of such interested parties are using outmoded legal statutes to deprive even competent elders of control over their own financial and other affairs."

Really? This sure sounds like an ad for your book! If not, get a good lawyer.... and a Living Trust. |

Westelle, I did not write the book nor is the author compensating me in any way to recommend it. I checked it out from my library. I thought the information was so useful that I purchased up a copy of my own so I could share it with others. Don't you think people here might be interested in the more seamy aspects of court appointed guardianships or conservatorships? Even IF people have a good lawyer and a trust, it can still happen. People need to know. I've been a member of the GW for quite some time, so you know I'm not just signing in to post spam. Please at least try reading the book before thinking I'm posting something inappropriate. Thanks. |

Westelle--dreamgarden has been a member for many years and does post on other forums. I thank her for bringing this problem to our attention because we all have to watch out that any government group just does not step in and take over. I have seen way too much of this in my lifetime and we all need to be on guard. But thanks for being alert. |
My apologies. |
>>"...because we all have to watch out that any government group just does not step in and take over...">> No GOVERNMENT group is trying to do this. It is unscrupulous individuals who take advantage of outright fraud or use specific legal loopholes to deprive an elderly person of their assets. The link below lists several cases where fraud and financial elder abuse was successfully prosecuted BY those government groups on behalf of victimized seniors. My MIL could easily have been one of these people. She is naive, financially unsophisticated, and suffers from MCI (Mild Cognitive Decline). A sympathetic, earnest, friendly con artist could snowball her in the proverbial blink of an eye. And frankly - 90% of her widowed friends are just as vulnerable. At least 50% of them have no children or lack family living close by. One of her friends has a $4M estate and absolutely no one in the US to help her make decisions. Her nearest relative lives in Scotland! |

Milton's additional entry minor peewees served up some championship payback during the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend.
And did so in highly dramatic fashion.
Refusing to come unglued after surrendering a last-minute equalizer to heavily-favoured Whitby at the Festive of Lights Tournament in Niagara Falls, the Winterhawks survived two rounds of overtime and then prevailed in the shootout.
Weekend standout Ben Marshall needed two attempts to clinch a 5-4 Milton triumph, after his seemingly successful first shot was deemed to have only hit the crossbar. Also scoring in the shootout was Ethan Hirst, who tallied twice and added an assist in regulation time.
Though having only lost 4-3 to Whitby in the second round, the championship win had to be considered an upset, given that Whitby went into the tournament with a 16-1 record while the Winterhawks had won just four times in 18 games.
"We were definitely the underdogs, but confidence can make or break any team," said coach Doug Marshall, referring to the optimism gained from pushing Whitby to the limit in round-robin play. "They worked together as a team and never gave up."
Ian Wilson made two shootout saves to help cement the championship win, while also finding the back of the net in the rematch with Whitby were Niklas Orosz and Luke D'Addario.
Sharing the goaltending duties across the border, Ethan Lear gave up just one goal in two games, the latter a 9-0 dismantling of the North Carolina Coyotes.
Marshall highlighted a team-leading nine-point tournament with two goals and two assists in the blowout, while Cameron Drennan also tallied twice and added an assist. Tyler Delfino — also was close behind in the weekend points count with seven — had a goal and two helpers against the Coyotes.
The Winterhawks kicked off the tournament with a 6-1 victory over Peterborough, with Lear between the pipes and six different players denting the twine.
All 14 players recorded at least one point toward the championship run. Ten of them had three or more points, including Emmanuel Pereira and Matthew Anderson with five each.

Driving fewer miles is one method that you could save in your taxi coverage premiums. Driving a private cab rather than a public one will ensure it is more likely for you to qualify for this reduction. What's "low" mileage? The threshold will differ from one UK automobile insurer to another insurer. But what matters is that driving less can help you to save more.
Not all cab cover policies are equally. That is why it's vital to consider what your needs are before you begin shopping for a coverage. Which type of cover do you desire? How much of it do you want? How long do you have to be covered? These are some significant questions to ask before you start shopping for a http://www3.hants.gov.uk/transport/taxi-insurance-providers . that is policy In order to find the ideal match, after discovering what kind of cover you want, you can begin sifting through the cornucopia of policies and businesses accessible.
Many travelling businesses provide cheap taxi service to Heathrow. Ibis Cars is a leading company that provides cab services that are cheap as well as executive to Heathrow. It's established in the year 1990 and has an expertise of more than twenty years. With high quality of services it has become the essential part of the life of West London. Ibis Cars is the response if you're buying a good quality but low-priced cab to Heathrow airport then.
Those who aren't commuting with lots of luggage might be searching for mini cabs. For commuting within their cities such people should hire affordable mini cabs. People may also have the ability to spend less by hiring low-cost mini cabs for transport. There might be many people who are new to London and don't know about london mini cab service. Such individuals should take assistance from the internet for understanding about the london mini cab service.
You have to be extra careful while taking these choices. The holiday must be memorable one for you. Now you must be thinking about a means to get to your lodging and visit the tourist areas, if you've planned a holiday to a delightful area London. In selecting a Chauffeur service to Heathrow if you are seeing the place for the very first time, you would fight. You will get several choices that'll vex you. This can be a dire situation when you know nothing about the taxi services and where you're going.
If you place in there 10 AM for the pick-up time, the cab service should be able to come before with at least 15 to 30 minutes time adjustment. You've got to make certain to be there on time yourself. Recall that the taxi service you've hired have also been assured for other customers and there are others waiting in line, do your part.
If you desire to have enough left over to eat out at a few finer dining establishments, but you understand this isn't an option for every meal, choose to stay in an efficiency resort with kitchen facilities. This way you can restrict the amount of times that may leave you for enjoying those meals and you need to eat out. Determine to just have dinner or breakfast at local places and prepare the rest of your meals in the hotel. You may not desire to do lots of cooking while on vacation, but you will not be aware of how much you can save by dining and snacking in your room several times while traveling.
Your driving record, and any fee points particularly will have a major impact on your own taxi policy premiums. In fact, having a totally clean record will probably permit you to appreciate a reduction on your auto cover. If you already have penalty points on your driving record, then it is advisable that you wait before taking a cab cover coverage out until you have reduced them. Otherwise you could end up paying sky high premiums.
Discounted Fare = $2; Affiliate Commission From Jewelry Store = $5; Affiliate Commission From Clothing Store = $5; Affiliate Commission From Sight-Seeing Tour Office = $5; Affiliate Commission From Memento Store = $5; Entire Amount Earned = $22.
Another favorable to booking through a travel agent is that you will get the great deals on flights. They'll understand the best time to book for a particular airline, and which one will be the most accommodating if you have unique needs, like a child, special diet, or a wheelchair. A kid mightn't look like a need that is exceptional, so they will not be a hassle to anybody but travel agents understand the best flight for kids.

+ Artistic duo says, 'Sayonara, Sarasota'
The joint farewell show of s/ART/q artists Brian Haverlock and Sabrina Small at Clothesline Gallery & Boutique has been one long happy/sad send-off, that's for sure.
"Moving Through Time," which closes Saturday, July 21, at Clothesline Gallery, is a well-deserved celebration of the couple's work dating from 2005 to 2012.
The show, which includes a few collaborative efforts, will cap off its one-month run with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. July 14, at the gallery's Pineapple Avenue location.
Small and Haverlock, both of whom I profiled for this section in 2010 and 2011, respectively, are planning to leave Sarasota to pursue other opportunities.
Small is returning to her hometown of Philadelphia, and Haverlock is moving to Montclair, N.J., to get his M.F.A. from Montclair State University.
"We'll only be a two-hour commute from each other," Small says. "Definitely more than a five-minute bike ride, but not too bad."
With their portfolios and lovable personalities, I predict gallery doors will fly open wherever they go.
+ Speaking of bittersweet good-byes …
Eight years ago, I showed up at Jack Perkins' front door at 5:45 a.m. to comb Casey Key Beach for sea-turtle nests with his wife, Mary Jo.
I was writing a story on Mote Marine's sea-turtle volunteers. It was one of my first feature assignments for The Observer.
I remember when I showed up that morning, a towering man with a white beard greeted me from his second-story balcony.
"Mary Jo will be right down," he said, his voice breaking the dawn.
I knew Perkins was a revered journalist who had worked for David Brinkley at NBC and as the host of "Biography" on the A&E channel, in addition to a million other things.
However, I wasn't there to interview him. I was there to see his wife. As I shuffled across the street to a quiet stretch of beach, I thought to myself, "Someday, I'll sit down and talk shop with him."
Not long after that, Perkins jumped into the first season of "A Gulf Coast Journal," and, for whatever reason, I failed to follow up on an interview.
That is, until this issue — my last issue as The Observer's arts and entertainment editor.
When I contacted Perkins to see if he was free for a chat, I explained I was leaving the paper to try my hand at freelance magazine work. I told him it was only fitting that I end with him on the cover.
He said, "For you? You bet."
So, dear readers: I leave you this week with a story of a journalist whose meandering career path inspires both the writer and adventurer in me.
When I showed up at Perkins' house, he greeted me, once again, from the upstairs balcony, reminding me that no matter how many years go by, some things never change.
I started at The Observer in November 2004, a few months after graduating from Buffalo State College with a degree in journalism. I was hired to write for the now-defunct Osprey Observer. I wanted the job so bad. I must have called the Longboat office 10 times to inquire about my resume. I think Matt Walsh hired me so I'd stop calling and emailing him. I remember him telling me he liked my "persistence," which I took as code for "annoying relentlessness." When the Osprey paper folded, I became community editor of the Sarasota Observer. In 2009, I moved onto Diversions. To be brief, working for the paper has taught me more than I could ever sum up in a column blurb. I carry a little piece of every story I've ever written, which is the most valuable tool for which a journalist could ever ask.
Editor's note: Look for incoming Arts and Entertainment Editor Mallory Gnaegy's first column in the July 19 issue.
WBTT's 'Songbirds of the '70s':
The Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe's musical revues are always a crowd favorite. Wisely, the troupe has decided to kick off its Summer Sizzler series with "Songbirds of the '70s," an all-female revue written and adapted by Artistic Director Nate Jacobs. The cast features Nisi Pierre, Jnana Cooper, Tsadok Porter, Naarai Jacobs and Ebony Lavender doing diva soul like no other songbirds in town. I assure you "Proud Mary" never sounded so loud and so proud. The show runs Wednesday, July 18, through Sunday, July 29. For tickets, call 366-1505 or visit wbttsrq.org.

Stripper Palooza, the annual summer party that combines a pole-dancing contest, a pig roast, and music from local and national bands, returned to Casselman's Bar & Venue on Saturday. The World Famous Johnsons, Atomic Punks, Rat Salad, Throw Logic, and five more bands provided music. All photos by Jim Wills
Published on August 25, 2013
In regards to Brandonrat's comment, this was not an issue with Casselmans. I am sorry you had a poor experience with an event that was planned by someone who had no business planning an event to begin with. However, Casselmans is an awesome venue that puts on great shows, the venue was not in the wrong here all they did was provide a room they had no part in what happened with the bands not playing, not being paid or the strip off not taking place. In fact, they came out of pocket to pay a band that came all the way from AZ to play just so that they wouldn't leave. I truly hope you have all the facts and do consider coming back for another show sometime.
This event was poorly planned no Atomic Punks...No pole Contest...Will not go back Next year.
This show was a rip off. Atomic Punks didnt play cause stripper poolza Mike had no money to pay them. And there was no strip off or pole contest

"Made this last year. Was looking for it again this year. Glad to make it again! Best gravy ever. Skipped the spices. Sauted the ingredients a long time in butter really brought out the flavor. Also great with drippings from a turkey that had been stuffed with carrots, celery, onions instead of stuffing."
"We made this for Christmas. Great recipe!It was a little too sweet, maybe due to the sugary peanut butter we used, so the second time we made it we reduced the sugar by a few tablespoons."
"A nice change of pace from enchiladas."
"Thanks, we had fun with this recipe. One idea we tried was to form them into balls and press them around lolipop sticks. Then we made a standard hard candy recipe (just sugar, corn syrup, and water, cooked to hard crack stage, with added flavorings), and dipped the totsie pops in. To keep the hard candy recipe from hardening too quickly as we d..."

I know that on Italki you can find persons who help you with your language doubts or correct your notes. But have you known here someone with who you speak regulary or do 50/50 conversations? Or the only option is looking for help of tutors or teachers?
I'm just curious about your experiences here.
like life, seek and you shall find
Do you ask this because you've never managed to have 50/50 conversations on a regular basis? I think it depends if you get along well with your friends/language partners. So long as you can talk about everything and nothing, you can chat every day. No need to look for paid lessons :)
No Sam hehe I haven't tried it yet :)
Hello Ania:
I used another website for about a year to acquire about 20 students.
When I got to italki, it took me about a month to find about 30 more students.
From the first website I used, I still tutor the same group of about 20 am am on a very friendly basis with all of them.
The same is happening with the students I have acquired on italki. I speak with them regularly each week.
Some of my students meet with me for 1 hour only each week. Others recieve up to 3 hours of instruction. I try to really dedicate myself to the learning process of sincere and dedicated students.
In fact, I cannot handle taking too many more students. I nearly pushed myself to the point of physical and mental exhaustion about 6 months ago.
Thanks for asking. Good question.--Warm Regards, Bruce R. Bain
I'm here recently and I haven't found it yet, but I'll find, I'm sure.
I haven't found native yet, but when I was beginner from English I didn't need anyone native or fluent because the intermediate level was enough, etc. But from the intermediate level it is important.
I speak with other people regularly, they help me with English and I help with Spanish, my problem is the difference of time.
Like ALberto said time difference is a little problematic but still I have few people that I practise with regularly : ) And I have two friends that I speak to everyday : ) and I am most thankful to them because in verly little time (a month maybe) I have learnt a lot and I am no more a total beginner yippiii!!
Es como buscar una ajuga en un pajar...Lo que no quiere decir que sea imposible, solo que demanda más tiempo de lo usual.
My answer to your question is : YES and the problem is that I have too many suggestions from too many people, don't have time to satisfy or to spend time learning with everyone !

DRM+ Demos Continue in Germany
On Aug. 19 telecom regulators from Germany, Switzerland and Austria got a closer look at DRM+ technology, thanks to a demonstration hosted by the University of Hannover. Broadcast trade group representatives from Austria and Germany were also present at the event, part of Digital Radio Mondiale's ongoing campaign to promote and position the technology as a stand-alone digital migration path for Europe's FM broadcasters.
DRM's continuing push comes at a time when the advancement of DAB multiplex technology in Germany has snagged, at least temporarily, and the high operating costs associated with DAB/DMB multiplex operations remains prohibitive for small community and regional broadcasters in nations where those systems are rolling out. One conclusion reportedly reached by event attendees is that for implementation of DRM+ to take place in central Europe, new spectrum will have to be made available possibly between 174-230MHz (Band III), in order to accommodate digital channels during a transition period. That's because DRM+ is a digital-only system with scalable bandwidths that can be meshed to current VHF broadcast channel plans, but cannot coexist with analog FM on existing analog channels.
DRM plans both a formal presentation and demonstrations of both its narrow-band DRM 30 and wideband DRM+ technology at next week's IBC in Amsterdam.

It's really confusing to try and figure out when all the important Olympics events are on, so we made a handy viewer's guide.
A few notes:
Every single "one off" event you want to watch (like, the 100m dash) will not be shown live on television. Instead it will be streamed live online at NBCOlympics.com, then shown on tape-delay on NBC at night
The Olympics will be really busy in the middle of the next week
All this stuff is on while you're at work
Here are all the big events, compete with times (eastern) and where you can watch them [channel or online].

What kind? What style do you prefer? I have a really nice Takamine classical & a Gibson Les Paul BFG that I play regularly
Brian Elliott
Junior Member
I have Takamine, too.
only guitar i have left is a $300 yamaha acoustic i bought new more than 20 years ago. had a squier strat as a teen, then bought a really dumb gibson flying v, and a couple of esp les paul knock offs. "Guitaring on a budget"
Mista Jangles
I prefer acoustic. I have a Fender Sonoran that I bought with graduation money. I'd like to get a Taylor acoustic.
I have a '63 Fender. I love it, but I have been really lazy with my playing lately. I never learn new stuff, and I mostly do sloppy blues-ish improv.

Wondering if anyone has anything different or unusual. I will do the ham but am looking for some sides that everyone has eaten every single year:))!
Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm making Monte's Ham (actually I just use Monte's glaze on whatever type of ham I purchase...it is delicious). Also making my sweet potato casserole and some type of interesting salad (mixed greens with mild goat cheese or gorgonzola crumbled over it plus walnuts and a vinaigrette). Ann Monte's Ham Italian prosciutto can cost $20 to $25 a pound if Spain's legendary jabugo ham ever reaches these shores, it'll probably run at least twice that. Monte Mathews reports that he's never paid more than 99 cents a pound for a ham to use for this unfailingly popular party dish. For Ham: One 15 lb. smoked ham, on the bone For Glaze: 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade 1. For ham, preheat oven to 300 degree F. Trim tough skin and excess fat from ham. Put ham in a large roasting pan and score, making crosshatch incisions over it with a sharp knife. Roast 2. For glaze, combine orange marmalade, mustard and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stud ham with cloves, inserting one at the intersection of each hatch, then brush entire surface of ham 3. Cook ham another 1-1/2 hours, brushing with at least 3 times. Transfer to a cutting board or platter and allow to rest for about 30 minutes. arve and serve warm or at room temperature. Sweet Potato Casserole 4 large sweet potatoes Boil, peel & mash sweet potatoes. Add butter, granulated sugar, Half & Half. Then add vanilla. Whip potato mixture in electric mixer until smooth. Pour into casserole dish; swirl in brown sugar and about 1/3 bag of miniature marshmallows. Top with walnut or pecan halves. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. (Recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before baking.) Note: I have also added the miniature marshmallows towards the end of the baking time so that they're partially intact/melted |

Leg of lamb..... Just learned tonight that I am cooking....but leg of lamb is traditional...and the rest is up in the air.... Likely peas in some way....and likely either strawberry short cake of angelfood cake ( from scratch) with either strawberries of lemon curd, either Mrs. Avery's rolls or angel biscuits... Hmm...salad? Baby greens and a vinaigrette made with that fancy-schmancy olive oil and tangerine balsamic from the Olive tap... Veggie?..peas...or should that be the soup?? Pickled beets and eggs? Still thinking! Linda C |

Sis, Dad and I just started discussing yesterday... My sister will be hosting, with an assist from DH and I (time to get my little red wagon so we can easily bring our goodies around the corner to Sis' house). -Hor d'oevures... Not sure what we'll be serving for hors d'oeuvres, but already on the menu is: Pizza rustica (I make anywhere from 10-12 depending upon who I feel like giving one to (you have to rate high on my list) -I am thinking of modifying an asparagus dish I saw that calls for wrapping stuff around blanched asparagus (flattened bread, prosciutto, etc) but have to give it more thought as I don't want to compromise the beautiful asparagus I am seeing) We typically have a platter of antipasto, which is really a must have, so perhaps it'll be just that and the pizza rusticas. -First course we were thinking of doing perhaps some fresh ravioli. I saw Giada do a chicken cheese ravioli with a lemon zest sauce, so perhaps we'll play with that, eliminating the chicken. I just got the pasta-roller attachment for my Kitchenaide, which will make prepping the ravioli a breeze. -Second course, perhaps a salad in Parmesan cups. We did this two years ago and it was fantastic. -For dinner, so far we know we are going to make a nice stuffed pork loin. Our local Italian store does a nice job of it, it comes out so moist. Perhaps some simple roasted chicken as a second choice for the kids and whomever doesn't want the pork. I'll make a nice merlot or cabernet-based gravy or perhaps defrost some pork gravy I've been saving and kick it up a bit with some wine and herbs. -Veggies: We agreed on a few veggies, one baked, one roasted, and perhaps a steamed veggie. Will be finalizing that within the next week. -Starch...I'm thinking something potato. Perhaps Ann's Perfect Roasted potatoes will be the way to go. I love, love, love them. (Did I say I love them). -Dessert is left to the experts. One of our guests is master of all things baked and we leave that to her. Dad will want to bring something, so perhaps he'll make a grain pie. That's it so far...not much detail, but it is an iterative process and should be finalized by the end of the week. Sue |
We are just so boring, same old ,same old every year but there would be mutiny if anything changed much...I can get away with one or two new dishes but not much. Baked ham with glaze, pineapple rings and maraschino cherries Dessert is whatever DSIL decides it will be.... : ) |
Breaking with tradition this year-friends from Toronto are joining Ernie & I at Sea Critters at Tierra Verde (south of St Pete Beach). Their house feature is a Seafood Boil"..lobster, king crablegs, clam, scallops, mussels, shrimp, potaoes & corn on the cob...works for me! I can do ham anytime and have no family here anyway. |

DH and I are going to daughters. She will make mashed potatoes and furnish ice cream and hot fudge sauce for dessert. I will bake the ham with raisin sauce, sweet potatoes, bean casserole [her favorite], asparagus, homemade dinner rolls and fudge brownie sundaes for dessert. Almost forgot the bottle of wine. |

Ham, broccoli casserole, ambrosia, baked mashed potatoes, rolls and dessert of some kind. keeping it simple this year. |
If you can fit it into your menu, you MUST try the absolutely decadent macaroni salad I discovered in an old TASTE OF HOME mag. It was SO GOOD and SO FATTENING, dd's and I made a pact to never make it again! Well. . . older dd asked for it. I'd been good and had discarded the recipe, but it was easy to find online. It's the one w/ sweetened condensed milk AND sugar. Cooks.com has it. Maybe you could just go lightly on dessert. Happy Easter! |
All of the menus sound delicious. chery2 - May I ask whether the macaroni salad is a dessert? I am willing to try anything once, please share the recipe. Our menu: Hope everyone had a HAPPY EASTER! |
If someone would be so kind as to give the recipe for the asiago au gratin potatoes that was mentioned ,I would be so very grateful. Sounds delicious. June |

Under the roof eaves, I noticed mildew / mold coming back again. I did apply bleach a couple years ago and the mold appears to be showing again. Any better way to get rid of the mold? Thanks in advance.
You can't it will keep growing back. I live in Washington state with a lot of trees and rain. Mold is every where it is an air born spore and if your neighbors have it on their eaves and the wind blows the little things will land under your eaves and start growing again. You may have to bleach every couple of years. I used to be a painting contractor and we tried every thing but the best is bleach. In-ground sprinklers and large trees will add to problem.
improve the ventilation in your attic by adding some can vents or a ridge vent.also make sure you soffit vents are not blocked
You have a vent problem, and you might go to the hardware store and get some preventative spray. But until you get rid of that moisture, it isn't going to help much.
I will assume that you are referring to a soffett area and that the substrate is wood. What you need is a waterproof barrier coating that will seal out moisture preventing mildew and mold. I suggest 1 Part Epoxy by Top Secret Coatings, which is available in 220 colors plus clear and available on Top Secret's online store. It is a barrier coating that is fully waterproof (vs water resistant) that is easy to apply, non-toxic and long lasting. You will want to begin by killing the mold and mildew by cleaning with a bleach and water solution. Once throughly dry simply brush roll or spray it on according to label diections. Its high flexiblity allows it to move with the wood as it expands and contracts with the ambient moisture eliminating the possibility of cracking and peeling making it preferable to shellac, varnish or urethane.
the black mold/milder survives off the latex paint. you can add midlew cide to new paint, but it will wear off. It's probably only on 2 sides of the house too. stick w/ bleach, & or bleach & lye, ( deck cleaner – scale, chalking & debris will harbor new growth – this will eat it off & leave shine paint )

The energy war between Iran and the European Union (EU) escalated on Sunday with Tehran refusing to load an oil tanker from Greece, a weak link among the troubled eurozone countries.
Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency (FNA) is reporting that a Greek tanker returned home empty, after Iranian authorities refused to load it with crude.
The move, if it escalates into a full-fledged ban, could further deepen Greece's economic woes, but more importantly impose enormous strain on the troubled eurozone collective.
On February 16, Iran stopped oil exports to British and French firms in line with the decision to end crude exports to six European states in response to sanctions imposed on the country's energy sector, Iran's semi-official Press TV reported. The announcement appears to have severely impacted oil prices, which recently crossed the $122-a-barrel mark.
According to FNA, Greece would be hit hard by the Iranian move as its traditional oil suppliers, Russia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, have stopped trading with Athens as a precautionary measure, apprehending a payment default in the future.
Iran and the EU are battling each other on the economic front after Foreign Ministers of the grouping decided on January 23 to ban oil imports from Tehran, and froze the assets of the Iranian Central Bank. In its riposte, Iran decided not to wait for a July 1 deadline that the EU had set for implementing its decision. Soon after, Iran announced that it was immediately banning oil exports to Britain and France, and hinted that Asian markets could readily absorb the surplus.
The EU's decision followed the lead taken by the United States, which on New Year's eve announced that it was targeting Iran's energy and financial sectors. It also attacked Iran's economic core by threatening to punish other countries, which chose to deal with Iran's energy and financial domains. On February 2, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee authorised the U.S. government to ban foreign companies that buy oil from the National Iranian oil Company (NIOC) or use tankers of the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC), to ship their oil.
Press TV is reporting that Iran had announced on February 21 that will continue exporting oil to the EU only if its member countries issue a guarantee to pay the price and sign medium- and long-term oil purchase contracts with Tehran.

Memories of Dario D'Attili
Trained by Simone Sacconi and a former manager of Rembert Wurlitzer's shop, Dario D'Attili became the most respected American expert during the 1970s and 1980s. He was also a kind mentor and generous friend
By Gabriel SchaffFrom 1990 to 1992 I had the good fortune of spending a lot of time with Dario D'Attili. I had moved from the Upper West Side of Manhattan to my first real house, across the Hudson River in Englewood, New Jersey. I had met Dario once or twice before and had been impressed by his generosity of spirit and attention...

Yeah, that sounded a lot nicer than to keep practicing with searing hot flames."Zuko," he sighed, burning out the fire above his palms, "Can we take a break? Please?"

This building started out as the headquarters for the Capitano del Popolo (captain of the people) during the Middle Ages, and was later used as a prison. The exterior served as a "most wanted" billboard: effigies of notorious criminals and Medici enemies were painted on its walls. Today it houses the Museo Nazionale, home to what is probably the finest collection of Renaissance sculpture in Italy. The concentration of masterworks by Michelangelo (1475–1564), Donatello
(circa 1386–1466), and Benvenuto Cellini (1500–71) is remarkable; the works are distributed among an eclectic collection of arms, ceramics, and miniature bronzes, among other things. For Renaissance art lovers, the Bargello is to sculpture what the Uffizi is to painting.
In 1401 Filippo Brunelleschi (1377–1446) and Lorenzo Ghiberti (circa 1378–1455) competed to earn the most prestigious commission of the day: the decoration of the north doors of the Baptistery in Piazza del Duomo. For the contest, each designed a bronze bas-relief panel depicting the sacrifice of Isaac; the panels are displayed together in the room devoted to the sculpture of Donatello, on the upper floor. The judges chose Ghiberti for the commission; see if you agree with their choice.

As this was the first museum we visited in Florence, it was also one of my favorites. Some of the sculptures that were there were unbelieveable. I prefer this museum to the Accademia, but it's about on the same level as the Uffizi (only very different since there are more sculptures than paintings here). One note about it is that as it was very cold outside, the museum felt extremely cold so dress very warmly if you go in the winter.

This would be one of the three--the other being the Accademia.It is a fascinating, stunning, sculpture museum for those who appreciate Renaissance art.

New Rolls-Royce engine selected to power Dassault's new super mid-size business jet
Friday, 15 June 2007
Rolls-Royce plc, a world-leading power systems and services company, announced today that it has been selected by Dassault Aviation to power the new Falcon super mid-size (SMS) business jet with a new engine in the 10,000 pound thrust range.
The engine, developed through the Rolls-Royce technology acquisition programmes, is the first of a new family of engines designed to meet the most stringent performance, reliability and environmental requirements of the corporate and regional aircraft marketplace.
This will be the first partnership between Rolls-Royce and Dassault in the business jet market. Rolls-Royce is the leading engine supplier in the sector, with a 34 per cent market share. Rolls-Royce engines power more than 3,000 corporate aircraft worldwide.
The total super mid-size business jet market for propulsion systems and services, in which the new Falcon will operate, is valued at US$40 billion over a 20-year period.
Charles Edelstenne, Chairman and CEO, Dassault Aviation said: "We are very happy to have Rolls-Royce as a partner on this programme and believe that the new combination of Dassault and Rolls-Royce will be a winning formula in the rapidly growing business jet market."
Sir John Rose, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce, said: "This agreement marks an historic step in the development of our corporate aircraft engine business and further establishes Rolls-Royce as the leading supplier of engines and services to the corporate jet and regional airline markets. We are delighted to partner with Dassault, one of the world's premier aerospace companies, and look forward to a long and successful relationship."
- Rolls-Royce operates in four global markets - civil aerospace, defense aerospace, marine and energy. It has a broad customer base comprising 600 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 2,000 marine customers including 70 navies, and energy customers in 120 countries. The company employs 38,000 people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in 50 countries
- Rolls-Royce is working hard to improve the environmental impact of its products. Each year, in collaboration with its partners, the company invests around £700 million in research and development, two thirds of which has the objective of reducing the environmental impact of its products, principally noise and emissions.
- Dassault Aviation is the flagship company of Groupe Industriel Marcel Dassault, also known as Groupe Dassault. Dassault Aviation, with about 8700 employees, accounts for more than 15 per cent of all French aerospace sales. Dassault Aviation has three main subsidiaries: Dassault Falcon Jet Corp, which sells and supports the Falcon business jets in North and South America and the Pacific Rim; Dassault Falcon Service, which provides charter, maintenance and technical services for Falcon business jets in Europe, and Sogitec, a simulation and documentation company.
- Although this is the first partnership between Rolls-Royce and Dassault in the business jet sector, the companies have worked together before. In 2006, Rolls-Royce Turbomeca began a programme with Dassault to use the Adour engine in the nEUROn unmanned combat aerial vehicle program.
- Rolls-Royce also worked with Dassault on the Jaguar and Atlantique – both still in service with the Adour and Tyne engines respectively. In 1965, the Dassault Mirage III-V used eight Rolls-Royce RB162 lift engines and achieved its first free hover flight.

- How to Trap
- How to Repel
- Baits
Feral Cat Control Options
Feral cats can be humanely controlled!
When you choose to rescue stray cats, it is important that you contact your local humane league, animal shelter or other similar organizations to learn the local regulations and policies pertaining to your community before trapping.
The majority of these organizations can be found in the telephone directory. Please be certain of the course of action you would like to pursue before rescuing a stray cat.
Trap, Neuter, and Adopt Programs
Before trapping, call your local humane league, SPCA or similar organization to discuss their suggested method of rescuing stray cats and all of the options available to you. It is best to follow the guidelines they endorse when transporting the caged cat to their organization.
Trap, Neuter, and Release Programs
Contact your local veterinarian or SPCA for information concerning any neuter and release program and options that are available to pursue this course of action.
Relocating Captured Cats
State, county and municipal laws related to cats vary. Consult with local humane league, animal shelter, or local or state Game Commission to determine the correct method of relocating a captured stray cat.
Stray Cat Rescue Kit
The Havahart® Stray Cat Rescue Kit (Model 1099) is ideal for catching, transporting and short term care of a stray cat. Easy to set, bait, and release. Collapsible—pops up in seconds. Kit includes rescue cage, cage divider, cover, door hook, and complete instructions.
Rescue Cage: The trap is 32x10x12 when assembled. Manufactured with 12 and 14 gauge wire, which will allow the trap to be used multiple times.
Cage Divider: The divider allows the cage to be used as a feeding and watering area. Slide it through the cage mesh, open the door and place food or water in the cage.
Burlap Cover: The cover has a dual purpose: to help camouflage the trap, and to soothe the cat once it is trapped
Do not attempt to handle captured cats. Do not leave children unattended near a captured cat.
Cat Traps
Live catch traps may also be used as stray cat traps to humanely capture and release cats. The Havahart® 1050, 1045, 1079, 1089 traps along with the EASY SET® Model 1085 are best suited for use as cat traps.
Check out our recommended cat baits for a more successful trapping experience!

Cat Repellents
Havahart® Critter Ridder® is a pepper based, OMRI® Listed deterrent that is compliant for use in organic gardening and available in both liquid and granular applications.
Critter Ridder® can be used indoors (granular) and outdoors (granular and liquid). One application of Critter Ridder® lasts up to 30 days.
A motion activated water repellent is also a useful way to protect landscap and gardens from stray cats. Easy-to-use, convenient and quick, Spray Away has motion and heat sensor triggers that detect an animal nearby. Similar to a sprinkler, once activated, the electronic valve releases 3 seconds of spray from an attached hose. The sudden motion, water spray and sprinkler sound combine to startle the cat, sending it away. Check out our new Spray Away Elite, a hose free motion sensored system that is so convenient and easy to use.

Not to sure about all these negative comments about Doctor Lee. He is highly trained and appears to be 100 percent in tune with his patients. My surgery went as scheduled, he visited in recovery and explained that the surgery everything went well. So far I am home in pain as expected after any surgery and on the mend. I give this Doctor 10 out of 10

I am surprised by the negative comments. I found dr. Lee to be very nice. My husband was diagnosed with diverticulitis. Dr. Lee preformed his colonoscopy. Every appointment leading up to that day I found dr. Lee to be helpful and knowledgable. I liked him so much I decided to have him do my gallbladder removal. He made us feel comfortable and at ease.

May GOD bless him and with him always.

This "doctor" is super arrogant and is a true **** treating his patients as assembly line goods. Surgery is his only work scope because he was the one holding the knife. He pushes the end-end care responsibility to other doctors without thinking by himself. We had horrible nightmare dealing with him are now filing complain over a loss family member. You should run away if he rushes to book your surgery because he will create a mess and leave that for his extended vacation until you die. Stay away from this ****!

Dr. Lee operated on my hernia in march using the shouldice method and the results were very good. I couldn't ask for a better surgeon and his staff was excellent.He took time to explain all my questions to me and didn't rush me. The hospital staff was also excellent.

Dr. Justin Lee - I was treated by him at York Central E.R and in his clinic afterward - awful experience. He's arrogrant, rude and condescending. He doesn't listen to his patients, he assumes he knows everything. I changed doctors and thankfully got a second opinion. He shouldn't be a doctor and his reputation amongst the nurses says it all (many that I spoke to were well aware of his attitude and confirmed that he doesn't care about his patients). Don't waste your time with this joke of a doctor.

I am surprised by some of the negative stuff written by Dr. Lee. My experience was very good close to excellent. I saw Dr. Lee. He looked at my hernia did his tests explained everything in full told me exactly what would happen good and bad, then referred me to his excellent staff who helped me book a date for the surgery. Day of surgery was 9:50am had surgery 20min early, pretty much greeted 2min asked if I was ok and if I was ready and done! So fast surgery was excellent. Only thing I can complain if I want to was in the recovery I was slowly waking up I saw him attend a worse patient beside me about 10 feet away and he didn't come to visit me, but it's not like I made a gesture or asked to see him. So that's my only complain even tho it's not a complain! Before surgery 2 weeks earlier I had a ton of pain I complain to his secretary and they were kind enough to give me pain killers for that!

Dr. Justin Lee is incompetent. He mis-diagnosed me 3 times. He first treated me in the emergency department at York Central and even though I asked him numerous times if my issue was related to possible infection of mesh inserted into the abdominal wall - he refused to listen. He is not at all familiar with mesh complications and instead of referring me to a specialist he continued to treat me - cut me open like a savage. I obtained my own referral to a specialist and was told the mesh was infected and that I needed general surgery. On 3 separate occasions Dr. Lee misdiagnosed me. When I sent my complaint to College of Physicians he lied in his response (obviously he doesn't ever take responsibility for any of his errors). He's arrogant and ignorant and the nurses from home care even stated such. He doesn't care about the patient's welfare or care. Worst experience I have ever had. Even went to a lawyer to consider legal action. I would be dead if I didn't change doctors. Awful
