A religious man accepts whatsoever is, he is not waiting for something else to happen; he accepts this world as it is, this life as it is. He has a deep acceptance: he is grateful even for this, he is not complaining. He does not say, "This is ugly and this is bad and this is a nightmare." He says, "Whatsoever it is, it is beautiful. I accept it." And just through this acceptance he is born, he becomes a new man, and for him a new world is there. This is the way to get into the new world. If you simply wait, hoping that someday this world is going to change, it is never going to change; it has always been so. Since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden it has remained so.
In China there is a proverb: Progress is the oldest word. The human mind has always been thinking that we are progressing. We are going nowhere, the world has remained the same. Details may change, but the substance remains the same; it is again and again a wheel, it moves on the same track.
A religious man is one who accepts this very moment - whatsoever the case - and through that acceptance he is born anew, the dead is resurrected. This is a rebirth. And when your eyes are different the whole world is different, because the world is not the case, the way you look at it is the case. The way you look at it is the case, the way you approach it is the case: your attitude is your world. This world is neutral: to a buddha it looks like moksha, the ultimate beauty and ecstasy; to you it looks like a hell, the final, the seventh, nothing can be worse than this. It depends on how you look at it.
When you are reborn, everything is reborn with you: the trees will be the same, and yet they will not be the same; the hills will be the same, and yet they will not be the same, because you have changed. You are the center of your world, and when the center changes the periphery has to follow, because the world is just a shadow around you. If you change, the shadow changes, and those who are waiting and thinking that someday the shadow will change are fools.
Jews were waiting, as everybody is waiting, for a day to come when the world would be reborn and the dead would be resurrected; there would be peace, eternal peace, and life. So they asked Jesus:
When will the repose of the dead come about, and when will the new world come?
They were asking about the future, and this is how you miss Jesus. Don't ask a Jesus about the future, because for a Jesus no future exists; the whole eternity is present for him. And for a Jesus no hope exists, because hope is a dream. For Jesus, only truth exists, not hope. Hope is a deception, hope is intoxicating; it gives your eyes such a drunkenness that because of that drunkenness you look at the world and everything is different. For Jesus, only truth, the facticity of it - bare, naked existence - exists; he has no hopes about it. Not that he is in despair; remember, despair is part of the hope.

Recommended Gaming Mouse (Logitech, Razer, Microsoft)
I'm looking to replace my Logitech LX8 Wireless Laser Mouse. It's nice and all, but it just doesn't feel right to me anymore, plus I've had times where it doesn't work properly for me.
I'm a casual PC gamer (hardcore Xbox 360 gamer) but I'm looking for something really good that'll last me a long long time. I'm not sure if I should go wired or wireless (this is for my laptop). The games I have are StarCraft II, BF2, R6V2, SC:CT, GTA1/2/3/VC/SA, and CS:S. Although I play SC2 most and almost never play the rest. The only other PC games I can see myself getting in the future is BF3 (even though I already pre-ordered for Xbox 360) and SW The Old Republic.
With a budget of $50-$100 (however, I'd rather stay under $70), what gaming mouse would you recomend for me? The only brands I care about are Microsoft, Logitech, or Razer. Also, should I stay wireless or go wired? (I'm also thinking of buying myself a wired Xbox 360 controller for my laptop, but at this point probably won't be buying)
Thanks for the help!
(Also, just wondering your thoughts on a headset as well. I broke my cheap CyberAcoustic headset and want to get rid of my Turtle Beach X4's by replacing them with a Sennheiser PC 350 headset & Astro Mixamp so that I can get Simulated Surround Sound and use the headset for both my PC and Xbox 360, it's expensive, but if you have used them, what are your thoughts on them?)Sager NP9150 (P150EM Prema Mod) | Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center | 95% Matte | i7-3840QM | 16GB DDR3L CL9 1600MHz | GTX 680M (svl7 VBIOS) | 500GB 840 EVO | BD Reader | Intel AC 7260 |

Re: Recommended Gaming Mouse (Logitech, Razer, Microsoft)
a razer deathadder would be nice. about 60 bucks. you can get it for about 50 on ebay though. its got 2 extra buttons on the side which should be enough imo. its a solid mouse thats really comfortable (although a little light for me). you can adjust the sensitivity easily in-game and its got some sick lighting .

Re: Recommended Gaming Mouse (Logitech, Razer, Microsoft)
For gaming mice stick with wired, unless you absolutely need wireless. If you're gaming on the run most wireless gaming mice come with a big receiver anyways, making them even more unwieldy than wired mice.
How do you hold your mouse? Personal comfort is the most important spec.12/06 - Dell Inspiron E1505 | Core 2 Duo T7200 | 2GB DDR3 | 150GB 5400RPM | ATI X1400 | 1680x1050 | Windows VistaASUS G75VW-TS71 08/12 Workstation | HP Pavilion dv6tqe 05/11 Portable Core i7-3610QM

If you aren't playing FPS a lot, this mouse is perfect. Was just playing Starcraft II with it: Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GM-M7700 Noble Black 3+3 Buttons 4 Directional Scrolling 2.4GHz Wireless Laser 1600 dpi Mouse for Notebook
However if you are going to play FPS, go with a Razer. Gotta have wired for FPS no exceptions.

I agree with this, the Razer Deathadder would be perfect. Razer Deathadder

Re: Recommended Gaming Mouse (Logitech, Razer, Microsoft)
Those look like some decent mice. Is there really that much of a noticable latency difference between Wireless and Wired mice? The one thing that worries me most about Wired mice is tangled cords. As much as this is for gaming (and most gaming I do is sitting comfortably at a desk), I'll also be using this on the go (college) for just basic computing and CAD software. I don't want a cord that gets in the way when I have little space to work with.
The problem I see with the Razer mice that are also wireless is that they use a dock reciever as the station which is too much to tote around. I did see a Logitech mouse Amazon.com: Logitech Wireless Gaming Mouse G700: Electronics that seems nice and the "Nano" reciever is a really nice thing for conserving space. However, I don't need 13 buttons and it looks uncomfortable.
The cost of and appeal of the DeathAdder Amazon.com: Razer Deathadder 3500 High Precision 3.5G Infrared Gaming Mouse (RZ01-00151400-R3): Electronics is really sitting nice with me. Only $50. The shiny sides though seems like they could gunk up with dead skin easily (like an Xbox controller).
The Mamba Amazon.com: Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Laser Mouse 5600 DPI: Electronics is just plain sexy. It looks like it is really comfortable to hold and the changing lighting and dpi setting are great. Also, a perfect 5 buttons just like my LX8 and even better since the side buttons are on the left, not one per side like my LX8. The price is up there but for $110, if it lasts me over 5 years, I don't mind. The only problem again is the cord, just worried about tangling. I wouldn't use the dock at all on the go as it is too much. Also, what about bringing the mouse around with me, will it be an issue or danger for it to be in my backpack? Is there some type of sleeve I can buy to further protect any of these?
Someone had asked how I hold my mouse, here are some images. Note, the right side button on my LX8 is practically useless since my ring finger cannot easily hit it. I use my left side button as a Tab button for StarCraft II when I have multiple groups under one hotkey since my APM sucks too much to try and control multiple grouped units through multiple control groups.

Re: Recommended Gaming Mouse (Logitech, Razer, Microsoft)
I highly recommend the DeathAdder. At under $50 on Amazon, it's a great price for a top-notch mouse. It's got one of the best optical sensors ever made, and an extremely comfortable shape. Based on the way you grip your mouse now, I think the DA will fit you very nicely. As for the shiny sides, I would just wipe mine off with a tissue once a month or so and they were fine. There's also the "Black Edition" DeathAdder that's made of a different material, you might want to look into that. Either way, the DeathAdder is easily the best wired mouse I have ever owned.
The Mamba is very nice; it's essentially a wireless DeathAdder, but even I think it's a bit too expensive at full retail price. I got mine for $70 refurbished last year. If I were you, I'd stick with the DA.
As for a good headset, check out the Plantronics GameCom 377. Excellent sound, comfortable design, and a lot cheaper than its sound quality would let you believe

Re: Recommended Gaming Mouse (Logitech, Razer, Microsoft)
The DeathAdder is a good mouse, though I'd also like to throw in the Logitech G9x (which is still on sale for $50 on Newegg, Logitech's website lists it as $80). Comes with two different shells, one for palm grip and one for claw grip (in case you use it for FPS games or whatever). Laser, up to 5700 dpi, can store five custom profiles on the mouse itself (so you can use them on other computer w/o the SetPoint software). You should check it out.

Re: Recommended Gaming Mouse (Logitech, Razer, Microsoft)
Hm, I got to think about this for a bit. I just repaced the keyboard in my laptop ($20 got me a brand new keyboard, and now my keyboard is backlit , the only downside is I need to break in the keys).
If I was loaded, I buy that Mamba in a heartbeat. The DeathAdder and G9x look really nice, the custom features on the G9x are impressive, especially for only $50. I saw they all have braided cables which is important.Sager NP9150 (P150EM Prema Mod) | Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center | 95% Matte | i7-3840QM | 16GB DDR3L CL9 1600MHz | GTX 680M (svl7 VBIOS) | 500GB 840 EVO | BD Reader | Intel AC 7260 |

Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
I have another busy week ahead of me so thought I'd better get in here early. ha I managed to get in some painting over the weekend. I have a recipe box that I got from the TS that I'm painting for my DM. It had a little insert piece in it that I painted a birdhouse on to match her kitchen and now I just have to paint the box the way I want it to look. I used a free pattern from artistclub.com by Jamie Mills Price. They have quite a few new free spring patterns. There are a couple more that I downloaded to try too. Go check it out if you have some time to browse. I will get a pic posted as soon as I finish up the box. Anyway, I was just checking in for a quick chat. Guess I should have checked last weeks first so I would know what's happening. I'll have to come back later and catch up. I gotta get going right now. Our credit union is merging with another and they have my accounts all screwed up so I need to go iron all that mess out. It's gonna take me a while. Talk to ya'll soon. ~Anj |
Follow-Up Postings:
Happy Monday to All, I can hardly wait to see your recipe box finished. I hope you don't loose your mom before you give it to her. LOL WM Thanks for the heads up on the free patterns. FREE that's my favorite price. haha I have several of JMP books but I'll take a look incase there is something I don't already have. She is one of my favorite artists. I have a very busy week ahead also so it's nice to come here and relax for a minute. I can't imagine not having you to chat with. Punk |

Little sister to Vincent - feedback on our list!!
Hi All,
Baby number 2 due very soon, we've decided to leave the gender as a surprise so I also have a thread on the boys names forum if you wanna check it out! My first son is named Vincent Nicholas, and we're looking for a girl's name to match! My husband and I are really struggling with the girl's names, we love cutesy and sweet girl's names, but we really want her to have a powerful and respectable name she can go anywhere with if you know what I mean? Some of our names sound gorgeous for a little girl but not necessarily a judge in the high court or prime minister. We tend to lean towards traditional but not too common but there really is a mix.
We like:
Evangeline (nn Evie)
Violet (too similar to Vincent?)
Please share your opinions and give me some feedback on your favourite names, yes's and no's, likes and dislikes, similar suggestions to our style and advice!
Thank you lovelies!!
July 17th, 2013 10:30 AM #3
You have a lot of names here that could be nicknames, and probably should be with big brother Vincent Nicholas. Maisie and Daisy are both quote cutesy and both nicknames for Margaret, so try Margo in this situation, I think. Lacey feels too modern. Lulu could be for Lucille, which I love with Vincent, or Louisa. Oops, forgot Sunny, which I like as a Susanna nickname! Lennie could come from Helena. Elsie is short for Elisabeth, but I also like her for Estelle or Estella or Eloise, already on your list! Hero is tough, but could come from Hermione. Scout is really tough, but could come from Scarlett!
Off your list, my favorite with Vincent hands down is Adele. I also like Adela. I think suggested Lucille is perfect, or Lucinda if you want a dressier name. Also like Margo...
And, yes, Violet is too close to Vincent for my taste.
Good luck! :-)"Names, once they are in common use, quickly become mere sounds, their etymology being buried, like so many of the earth's marvels, beneath the dust of habit." - Salman Rushdie

lemon - Thank you for your amazing ideas! I agree Vincent and Adele work really well together and Adele is good for a little girl or a grown woman. I definitely have a soft spot for Lulu but not crazy about Lucille or Louisa, do you think it could work as a nickname for Eloise maybe?
sorceress - I agree, Sunny would really have to be a nickname, a little to cutesy for a given name. Sunniva is a bit too unusual for me though. Thanks for your ideas!

Coloradans get crafty as Supreme Court hears Hobby Lobby case
Renegade Colorado crafters will be out in force this morning, delivering handmade "no thank you" cards to Attorney General John Suthers and telling him that birth control is #NotMyBossBusiness. Suthers filed a friend-of-the court brief in the Sibelious v. Hobby Lobby case, which the Supreme Court will hear today along with a related case. Hobby Lobby is arguing that the Affordable Care Act should not require the company to cover birth-control in its employer-provided health insurance because it conflicts with the Christian owners' religious beliefs.
The Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Hobby Lobby, ruling that the birth-control requirement violated the owners of the company's religious freedom. Now the nation's highest court will consider the issue.
Want to get crafty? The renegade crafters will gather at 10 a.m. in the park across from the Judicial Building, at 14th and Lincoln.One of today's messages for John Suthers.
The Oklahoma based Hobby Lobby has more than 600 stores, all closed on Sunday. Here's the background from the company website:
At Hobby Lobby, we value our customers and employees and are committed to:Read more about Hobby Lobby's position here.Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with biblical principles.
Offering our customers exceptional selection and value in the crafts and home decor market.
Serving our employees and their families by establishing a work environment and company policies that build character, strengthen individuals and nurture families.
Providing a return on the owner's investment, sharing the Lord's blessings with our employees, and investing in our community.We believe that it is by God's grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured. He has been faithful in the past, and we trust Him for our future.

Hello. Switch-kun here with my first new intel I would like to share on Dot.tech. While on PC Gamer's website, I came across a really awesome racing game they recommended.
It's called… NITRONIC RUSH!!
The point of the game is to race to the finish line and avoid walls, spikes, saw blades, and other crazy things. Your car is equipped with a nitro booster and an the ability to fly! However, overusing these 2 special abilities will make your car overheat and explode, so you better watch out!
Visit the official site and check it out yourself: http://nitronic-rush.com/
The game is a 456mb and is singleplayer only. However, you can upload your scores online and reach for the top! :3
Enjoy!! ^^

Foxygen Wisely Cancel Tour, Citing 'Creative Health' Reasons
Band previously apologized for SXSW performance
Sudden attention for a band cuts both ways, particularly under the microscopic scrutiny of social media. Foxygen, a Los Angeles-based duo recently enjoying some attention for the impressively updated '60s psych-pop gestalt of this year's We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic, have chosen to take a step back. It's probably a wise decision.
As Pitchfork was first to report, Foxygen announced today on Facebook they would be canceling their full European concert schedule, including festival dates. The band's Jonathan Rado and Sam France wrote, "We assure you this is ultimately for the creative health of the band." A slate of North American dates is still set to go ahead as planned.
The announcement follows a tumultuous South By Southwest that ultimately led France to apologize. In a separate Facebook post earlier this month, he wrote: "for all of our fans at sxsw, and my bandmates, I apologize if I have not delivered our music with love and respect my voice has gone from me and i have been very frustrated performing. I love you"
While Foxygen's cited tour cancellation reason of "creative health" is as easy to make fun of as their silly name, the decision actually reflects the genial intelligence that helped draw listeners to We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors songs like the Velvets-do-Dylan "No Destruction" or the Kinks-gone-West-Coast of "San Francisco" in the first place. If you're not ready for a European tour, you're not ready, no matter how many euros and fans that might temporarily cost. Wavves' 2009 meltdown at a European festival came to mind earlier today, and you can go down the list of artists we, the Web's denizens, have mercilessly hounded in the past decade, from the Black Kids to Lana Del Rey.
Caution might not sound very rock'n'roll, but rock'n'roll is overrated. Foxygen are better off taking this time to grow as a band rather than risking destroying the very success they've worked to achieve. The band that recorded last year's promising Take the Kids Off Broadway might've picked the right time to take themselves off a few big stages.
Check out Foxygen's full statement and their remaining concert schedule below.
Foxygen tour dates:
May 7 - Boston, MA @ Brighton Music Hall
May 8 - Montreal, QC @ Il Motore
May 9 - Toronto, ON @ Wrong Bar
May 11 - Columbia, MD @ Merriweather Post Pavilion
May 14 - Brooklyn, NY @ Knitting Factory
May 15 - New York, NY @ Mercury Lounge
May 18 - Mexico City, MX @ Festival Marvin
June 21 - Dover, DE @ Firefly Music Festival
June 22 - North Adams, MA @ Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art
June 23 - North Adams, MA @ Solid Sound Festival
July 12 - Louisville, KY @ Forecastle Festival
July 21 - Chicago, IL @ Pitchfork Music Festival
August 2 - Happy Valley, OR @ Pickathon
Foxygen's statement:
We have some unfortunate news. We have to cancel our upcoming EU dates for May and June and upcoming EU festival dates. We'd like apologize to all our European fans and supporters. We know this causes frustration and headaches for ticket buyers and promoters alike. We assure you this is ultimately for the creative health of the band. We will back in EU very soon and promise to make this up to all of you. Please understand. Thank you again, all of you. Your time, attention and support mean the world to us. Love, Foxygen.

Kevin Smith has spoken out about rumours surrounding Warner's forthcoming schedule of DC titles, suggesting that
reports of a planned seven films in three years
chime with information he has received.
Last week saw writer Nikki Finke publish a list of titles and release dates for potential Warner / DC projects, with Smith now claiming to have seen the same list from a different source.
"I looked at [
] list and I was like, yeah, that's what I heard, that's what I was told," says Smith, explaining his sources by chuckling, "I know people, motherfucker".
Indeed, Smith is pretty well connected in this particular arena, what with his various comic-book connections, not to mention close friendship with
Batman vs. Superman
star, Ben Affleck.
Of course, he could be privy to the same misinformation as Finke, but it certainly sounds as though there's some weight to the rumours. That
adaptation might just be happening after all…

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
When I put some Linux computer operating system Live CD distributions there is on some Verbose Mode viewing instructions. This allows the user to view the coding style text and not the Graphics Mode. I am not a font designer thus the question one here: Is the Verbose Mode font on the Linux distribution, circa 2011 a bitmap?
The Verbose Mode de facto gives the 'coder perception'. I am not a font coder, thus the question two here: Where is the Verbose Mode font and the coding style text that have font attributes (colour/italics/bold/lower/upper?) installed on the Linux operating system and is it easy to alter it to another font and the coding style text including the font attributes, circa 2011?

My friend and I traveled from California to stay in Fair Havens Plantation. It couldn't have been a better way to end our travels in Georgia. Ken was extremely gracious and even though we arrived late in the evening, he gave us a tour of the house. It is a lovely place with a phenomenal story. The setting was gracious and not a stone left unturned in seeing to our comfort. Ken's breakfast was excellent, the best in our two weeks in Georgia. Everything was well prepared and baked from scratch. Such a find. The Lauderdale's were certainly outstanding hosts!
4,8 sur novembre 14, 2014
This was a perfect conclusion of a trip through the South. We have heard so much about the different movies such as Gone with the Wind, and finally we got an idea of what it was like to live on a plantation. Ken is a perfect host, who can tell a lot of good stories to entertain. The place is perfect to relax. The next surprise came in the morning with the breakfast. We've stayed in many hotel during our trip, but not many could match what we got from Ken. So the dining score is actually for the breakfast. Truely recommendable.
5 sur octobre 01, 2013
Home run! Beautiful home and grounds. Ken is the perfect host, his breakfasts rate a 11 on a 1-10 scale. Chose Fair Havens for a place to stay for a football game, but would recommend for any occasion. We were worried about the distance from UGA, but the drive is short and pleasant. We stayed in the Princess Room and could not have been more pleased, we will book again.

My son's wedding was held at Fair Havens as was the rehearsal dinner. The historic house and grounds were perfect for both. The bride, her parents and the bridesmaids all stayed with Ken for the weekend. They were all very pleased with the accommodations and the wonderful breakfasts. We could not have asked for a better location or more gracious hospitality. Thanks, Ken.

If your looking for a weekend getaway or your looking for a spot close to Athens, this place is a must! The rooms, service, food, and the overall cleanliness of the place was phenomenal. I have never had customer service like I had with Mr. Lauderdale. Absolutely outstanding. If you are staying in Athens for a game, music, or just to visit, this B&B would absolutely make your weekend.

We celebrated my girlfriends 50th birthday with a 2 night stay here. Ken made our weekend so pleasurable. His hospitality and breakfasts were wonderful. The rooms are so quaint and bring you back in time. Great location, close to the U of Georgia, so we could visit campus easily. Exceptional weekend, thanks to Ken and Fair Havens Plantation.

This charming bed and breakfast was like a home away from home. From the spectacular breakfast to the wonderful southern hospitality, this plantation and its owners treated us like family. Only 8 miles from athens, it was quiet and remote, yet close enough to all that Athens Georgia has to offer. It made us want to come back again and thanks to the Lauderdale's it will be like coming back to see family. Our daughter was treated like their own granddaughter and we can wait to see them again.

Friends and family in a beautiful relaxed atmosphere where people shared incredible meals and fellowshipped like they used too!Ken and Linda Lauderdale treat you like family,and go out of their way to ensure you stay is much much more than you could have imagined. The house is a master piece of lovingly restored history that lends itself to a comfortable and enjoyable stay with it's deep history and serene surroundings.No

Recently had the opportunity to stay at this charming historic venue. Tucked away on a horse farm/plantation Ken met us in the driveway and warmly welcomed us to his establishment. Southern charm and hospitality abounds. Exceptionally interesting history of the home provided by Ken. Tremendous personal customer service provided by Ken. Excellent breakfast and willingness by Ken to ensure our every need was met. You would be wise to select Fair Havens for your next stay while either staying in the Athems environs or simply as we were, passing through. Cheers, Les

My daughter's wedding was absolutely magnificent due, in part, to this beautiful Fair Havens Plantation! We had the rehearsal dinner and the wedding on site...no driving to hotels or restaurants....absolutely perfect! My out of town family stayed at the Plantation with us. How special that was for us! We could all come down to breakfast in our PJ's and drink coffee, enjoy a delicious breakfast and relax before the wedding activities began! Our wedding guests enjoyed this lovely Plantation and grounds, as well! Perfect..absolutely perfect...for an outdoor wedding!! Thank you to the lovely owners, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Lauderdale, for a weekend full of happy memories!!

Fair Havens is een fraai gerestaureerde oude mansion, met sfeervolle kamers. Hoewel we de goedkoopste kamer geboekt hadden, kregen we bij aankomst een gratis upgrade naar de suite. Ontbijten op het balkon, uitkijkend over de bossen en de tuin met volop vogels was genieten.
5 sur août 11, 2011
Surprisingly close to Athens, this is the place you should stay for the quintessential plantation experience. Ken, the wonderful owner, was full of southern hospitality. I stayed in the cottage and he brought breakfast every morning. He purchased tea that I liked and made sure my refrigerator was stocked full of water, fruit, soda and bagels. I recommend this B&B without hesitation. Have a great stay!
4,8 sur août 11, 2011
We stayed at this phantastic B&B on a Sunday at the end of April. We had the whole plantation for ourselves for one day, what a great and unique experience! Thank you Ken for showing us the house and the very friendly reception. Breakfast was great, real Southern style! We were upgraded to the Honeymoon Suite! Coffee and soft drinks for free! Ken gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation for the evening, The Last Resort Grill in Athens! We loved our stay in Athens very much and would visit again whenever in the region! Kind regards to Ken

We stumbled on Fair Haven B&B because it was spring graduation weekend, and the hotels in Athens were outrageous. Most hotels double or even triple their rates on graduation weekend, but Fair Haven is a stunningly beautiful venue which was a GREAT VALUE for the weekend. It is a very short drive back into town, and the home-cooked breakfast was incredible. The mimosas and french toast casserole were yum yum - and it was so delightful to meet Ken, walk the grounds, and learn the history of the mansion. This is a great find that made a thrilling weekend even more thrilling!

We just spent a weekend in the lap of luxury, hosted by innkeeper Ken Lauderdale and the rest of the Fair Havens Plantation staff. Ken is a natural as an innkeeper -- friendly, outgoing, and determined to please his guests. The plantation house is a marvel, and the Lauderdales have done a marvelous job filling it with incredible antiques, gorgeous draperies, spectacular housewares, and all manner of interesting, unique keepsakes. You will forever remember your stay at Fair Havens -- it's that special. We stayed in the Purple Room (sometimes called the "Princess Suite") and were extremely comfortable with the luxurious, quiet, soothing comfort it offers. Breakfasts were wonderful, although Fair Havens is off the beaten path so you'll want to make plans to drive to other meals (the price of its peaceful, quiet seclusion). You won't be disappointed if you stay here, and you'll get a chance to see a piece of history in the making. The interior of the main house and outlying cottage is complete, but something tells me Ken still has plans for more gardens, porches, and other extras, so expect a work-in-progress rather than a museum, but Fair Havens is definitely a new national treasure awaiting little more than a few finishing touches.
5 sur mars 24, 2011
We stayed here for spring break, the flowers were colorful and the birds were singing as I sipped my morning coffee on the balcony. The house and lawns were beautiful. My daughters, 9 and 7, felt like little princesses the whole stay. Ken was the best host and went over and beyond to make our stay relaxing - he is very knowledgeable about the 200 yr old plantation.

My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous weekend stay at Fair Havens in December...celebrating a special birthday which Ken and Linda helped me in pulling off a great surprise weekend getaway! Our weekend stay there couldn't have been better. We had the privacy and luxury accomodations we were hoping for...along with some great conversatons with Ken and Linda and some totally scrumptious food!! I don't know how they did it, but they managed to treat us like royalty, but make us feel like part of the family all at the same time. If you get the chance to stay here...you'll be glad you did. We got to see all of the rooms and they are all gorgeous. The history of Fair Havens is so interesting, the food wonderful, the accomodations superb and you'll be treated with loving care. Thanks again Ken and Linda...we'll be back!

Our drive down a secluded country lane led to a lovely plantation home~Fair Havens~ We were greeted by our host, Ken, given a tour of the house and shown to our room. We stayed in the Princess Suite, a beautiful and spacious room, complete with kitchen, laundry room and a seven foot long bathtub!! Ken left us on our own, letting us know that he was a phone call away should we need anything. We had a continental breakfast and went for a walk in the morning before it got too hot. My husband and I loved it. A beautiful place with privacy, close to town. We'll stay there again:)

What can we say about this beautiful home that has not already been said? The house has been exceptionally restored, the decor is amazing. We were given the Princess suite and could not believe our luck. The breakfasts were wonderful (the best French toast we'd ever had). The hospitality was first class, we could not have asked for more. We will be back and are already spreading the word in the UK about Fair Havens! Pat and Dave Freeman, England

We picked Fair Havens for an overnight stay from the internet based on its location. Our choice was perfect! The approach and grounds are stunning, the rooms, both bedrooms and public rooms, were perfectly decorated, clean and very comfortable. The highlight, however, was the hospitality extended to us by Ken Lauderdale, our host. He was always accessible and never tired of answering our many questions about the history of the inn. The breakfast was delicious and the choices overwhelming. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and only regretted that we had to leave after only one night.

My husband and I stayed here for a Georgia football game and were thrilled with the accomodations. We really just stumbled upon the place when all the rooms in Athens were booked, but we couldn't have been happier. It is a lovely getaway and perfectly secluded. The grounds are stunning. It was a simple trip to and from Athens for the game and a great place to come back to for a relaxing evening afterward. We hope to return!

We were blessed to discover this wonderful B&B at the last minute. The inn keeper Ken upgraded our room to the Princess Room, when he found out we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. It was beyond what we could of imagined. The grounds are lovely the Princess Room was every bit that (accomodations fit for royalty). Decorated in beautiful tones of purple, with lovely antiques and an extremely comfortable king size bed to just list a few of the treasures found in this B&B. In addition, we had breakfast served in our room (mouth watering biscuits, grits, bacon and delicious spinach/scrambled egg dish). Ken also had a list of restaurants in Athens and we went to "East/West Bistro." The meal, cheff and whole experience was fabulous!!! We hope to return and definately stay again at Fair Havens Plantation.

A little hard to find..(DO NOT follow Google..Ask your host for directions..He is excellent at it), but when you do find it, it is the Big WOW. Everthing you expect from an Antebellum experience, it is all there, and what can I say about the Hosts? they will indulge your every whim. Absolutely delightful...Bravo to Ken and Linda...Well done...

I'm wary of writing too good a review of Fair Havens since I think it's one of those "best-kept secret" places that I'd selfishly like to keep private. The house is beautiful and has a fascinating history that the owners will gladly explain (or not, if you prefer privacy). The grounds are expansive and lovely, providing a nice buffer between the house and the road and ideal for an early-morning stroll. The food is simple but delicious (and plentiful). I really can't say enough about this place. I selected it for the price (which usually results in a mediocre choice) and was knocked out by what a deal it was. My wife and I took their largest suite for our anniversary and can't wait to come back with the kids.

This is a delightful location to return to after attending a UGA football game. I truly enjoyed my stay. Ken and his wife are charming and hospitable, the grounds are pastoral and their home is beautiful.

Kitchenette for Princess room was more extensive than expected - more like a complete kitchen & dining room attached to bedroom. Bed was fantastic. Yummy breakfasts were offered at our convenience and made to order, complete with vegetarian accommodations. Service was very friendly and attentive, yet provided us great privacy. Grounds were beautiful and serene. Very convenient to great music & food in Athens, as well as state park with waterfall and historic covered bridge. Overall a pleasantly memorable and unique experience.

My wife and i stayed in the Princess suite for our 1st wedding anniversary 5/2/2009. Ken and his wife were very accommodating and SO nice. We opted to have our Country breakfast served in our room and i have to say it was, by far ,one of the BEST meals i have eaten in a while,Besides my wife's of course.Ask for the "Angel biscuits". WOW! The room was Immaculate and our time there was very relaxing !!!!! WE WILL BE RETURNING SOON!!!!

We stayed at Fair Havens after our hotel booking fell through, and we were nervous about bringing our 19-month-old and 4-year-old to a more sophistocated environment, possibly with valuable antiques. We arrived to a breathtaking property, a personal tour, and even a tea set & mini-couch for the kids! The beautiful weather invited us outside, and the kids were thrilled to pet horses and run about in the manicured lawn. We were atually disappointed we had to go to dinner! The kids retired to a day bed/trundle while we slept in the adjoining quarters with a fantastically comfortable, majestic canopy bed. The house smelled wonderful & fresh and was appropriately (read "beautifully") decorated. And even though we had arranged for no breakfast, Mr. Lauderdale provided a few snacks we could pack with us. Our family felt welcome - even pampered - by our wonderful stay at Fair Havens, and we look forward to returning again soon!

Midnight Juggernauts
Who? Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, MidnightJuggernauts were born as a duo between Vincent Vendetta (keys/vocals)and Andy Juggernaut (guitar/vocals). After releasing two EPs -- 2005's Raised by Wolves and 2006's Secrets of the Universe -- they added drummer Daniel Stricker to augment their infectious big-beat live sound. Full-length LP, Dystopia,arrived down under earlier this year through the band's own Siberialabel and the Juggernauts spent the rest of 2007 touring with Justice;plans for a domestic release on a yet-to-be announced label is slatedfor early spring. What's the Deal? Dystopiawill help folks get a jump on their Best of '08 lists, furthering dancemusic's indie rock crossover. Like Justice but without the religiousfoot-massage, "Into the Galaxy" soars through space like a synthesizersymphony, a dance floor throwdown with four on the floor and an eye onthe heavens.
Go Motion
Who? Like its Omaha, Nebraska brethren, Go Motion takes cue from the electro buzz pop of the Faint, but amps up the dual-guitars for spastic dance parties of one. Albert Kurniawan and James Luther trade off intricate guitar patterns, with Kurniawan applying metallic vocals and Luther doubling up on squealing synths. Luke Mabie aptly supplies the post-punk bass bounce, and drummer David Luther holds down a seemingly never-ending backbeat pulse. Self-released debut album Kill the Love dropped earlier this year. What's the Deal? Kill the Love clocks in at 34 minutes across 11 tracks that sound like early Cure on HGH, though Kurniawan's deadpan vocals borrow more from Satisfact's Matthew Steinke than Robert Smith. "Difference in Time" pierces with incisor-like guitar cuts before dropping into a wash of no-wave analog loops without missing a dark disco beat.

I have been cooking for years. A lot of recipes say that you are supposed to start with cold water if you are making, for example, a stock, or anything where you are cooking something in the water. For doing a partial boil extract, is there any reason to begin the boil from cold water, or is it okay to use hot water out of the tap to get it up to temp quicker?
Well, I think I've always heard to use cold tap water because of the possibilities of the hot water leaching things out of the pipes, not because it was necessary for what you were cooking. So, if that's the case, then I would also start with cold water for brewing.
hot water heaters build up all kinds of crud inside, including mineral and scale deposits. if you had one of those tankless water heaters, it'd be ok to use that water. otherwise, cold tap water, just like cooking. because honestly, making beer IS cooking, with fermentation to complete the recipe.
"Inside many homes, water pipes are made of copper and are bonded together with lead solder. Because the use of lead solder was only banned in the US in 1987, millions of US homes contain lead-soldered copper pipes—and hot water can cause the lead to leach out from this solder. Accordingly, one should avoid cooking with hot water. Also, concerned consumers can "flush" standing water out of the pipes and down the drain, for at least thirty seconds to a minute, prior to using it for cooking or drinking purposes. (This "flushing" method should be applied for an even longer time period when a consumer lives in a high-rise, or whenever water has to travel through greater lengths of pipe than what one would generally find in a typical free-standing home. Also, it is important to note that if there is lead leaching out from the service lines, flushing may require several additional minutes to effectively drain the lead-contaminated water from the system."http://www.nsc.org/issues/lead/leadinwater.htm

Superb capture Cheryl, pin sharp and perfectly framed with a great diffuse background

Hi Cheryl,
Just wondering what camera and lens you used for this fantastic shot?
Nominating Constructive Critique
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thanks Paul for the UA and thanks Pete for the EC.
Simon this was taken using a Nikon D4 and 200-400mm lens.
But the image can be taken by pre-focussing (plane of jump to landing point is pretty much parallel to angle from hide) so the image can be taken on any camera and lens combination. Some people even pre-focussed and locked camera pointing to gap between take off and landing and then just hit motor drive as the squirrel jumped. Not my preferred technique as I wanted to pan with the jump as I like a challenge.

Levy and Gutfield, who appear to be two grown men, practically had a field day bullying (yes, this is bullying) Adam and his band over Twitter. A sampling (via PopDust):
"Dear @AdamLevine, don't make crappy f*cking music ever again. Thank you."
"Maroon 5′s bio strangely fails to note the band was developed by the CIA as part of its enhanced interrogation techniques program."
"Fun joke: why did Maroon 5 cross the road? because crappy music is legal there!"
"Names that sound alike: Maroon 5 and crap"
"Maroon 5 is just bad music"
Are these two just fond of the word "crap", or are they not aware of any synonyms for the word?
If you'd like further evidence just how douchey these guys are, here they are on their show, making fun of Adam Levine's music (as well as his fashion sense, and the fact that he's a "game show host"):

Berkeley police arrest two in officer's 1970 death
The Associated Press
BERKELEY, Calif.- Two men, one of them a retired teacher, were arrested in the 1970 death of a Berkeley police officer that authorities have linked to the Black Panthers.
The second suspect, Don Juan Graphenreed, 56, was arrested Wednesday at Corcoran State Prison where he is serving time on a drug charge. He allegedly drove the car that Price used to get away. He had been detained in the case last year, but was released after the Alameda County district attorney decided there was not enough evidence to charge him.
Berkeley police spokesman Joe Okies said Wednesday that new leads and technology helped build the case against Graphenreed and Price this time. Investigators have "more than enough to establish probable cause needed for the arrests," Okie said.
The district attorney could decide as early as Friday whether to file charges. Police are still looking for a third suspect they say served as a lookout during the ambush and is believed to be out of the country, Okies said.
Police have said Tsukamoto's slaying was prompted by the suspects' desire to raise their stature within the Black Panthers, but a former Panther denied any knowledge of Graphenreed when he was named as a suspect in the case last year.
Price's 36-year-old son, Sandor Price, scoffed at the idea that his father, who taught social studies and history at high schools in Oakland and Fremont before retiring several years ago, killed a police officer.
"This is completely ludicrous," Sandor Price said. "My father has never done anything (wrong) in his life."
Tsukamoto, 28, was the first Japanese-American police officer hired in Berkeley and the first city officer killed in the line of duty. He had been on the force less than a year when he was gunned down on Aug. 20, 1970. The killing was the third targeting of an officer in the San Francisco Bay area within a two-month span.
