Template framework
Groovy supports multiple ways to generate text dynamically including GStrings, printf
if you are using Java 5, and MarkupBuilder just to name a few. In addition to these, there is a dedicated template framework which is well-suited to applications where the text to be generated follows the form of a static template.
The template framework in Groovy consists of a TemplateEngine abstract base class that engines must implement and a Template interface that the resulting templates they generate must implement.
Included with Groovy are several template engines. Shown here is the SimpleTemplateEngine that allows you to use JSP-like scriptlets (see example below), script, and EL expressions in your template in order to generate parameterized text. Here is an example of using the system:
While it is generally not deemed good practice to mix processing logic in your template (or view), sometimes very simple logic can be useful. E.g. in the example above, we could change this:
to this (assuming we have set up a static import for capitalize):
or this:
to this:
Also just an advanced usage note. Because templates are created using two passes under the covers (pass one converts to script code, pass two runs the script to generate the output) you have to escape any backslashes. E.g. if we wanted quotes around The Big Apple above, we would use:
<% print city == "New York" ? "
"The Big Apple
"" : city %>
Similarly if we wanted a newline, we would use "
" in any GString or template processing code. A normal "
" is fine within the static template itself.
Groovy also supports a GStringTemplateEngine
(stores the template as writable closures) and XmlTemplateEngine
(works well when the template and output are valid XML).
You can also plug in other templating solutions, e.g. GFreeMarker, Velocity, StringTemplate and others.
Using TemplateServlet to serve single JSP-like HTML files
Here is a simple example helloworld.html file which is not validating and does not have a head
element. But it demonstrates, how to let Groovy compile and serve your HTML files to web clients. The tag syntax close to JSP and should be easy to read:
The first Groovy block - a for loop - spans the HelloWorld!
text. Guess what happens? And the second Groovy statement prints the servlet's session id - if there is a session avaiable. The variable session
is one of some default bound keys. More details reveals the documentation of
Here is some sample code using http://jetty.mortbay.orgs servlet container. With jetty6.0, copy jetty-6.1.3.jar and jetty-util-6.1.3.jar into $HOME/.groovy/lib, create a tiny web server with the following. To test it, add your above helloworld.html file into your current directory and browse http://localhost:1234/helloworld.html
Here is a similiar web.xml example.

Wedjat Eye Knee High
Also called the "eye of Ra" and the "eye of Horus", depending on the context, this is a beautiful symbol of health, protection and power. The left-hand eye is commonly that of the moon and Horus, the right-hand eye that of the sun and Ra. Because this is a symmetrical design, each of your legs are adorned with a balance of power.
One size should fit women's shoe sizes 6-11 or men's 4-9.
These have really good stretch, especially below the eyes. They look great on 18 inch calves and are knee high on everyone here who's tried them! We made an effort to have enough space between the eyes so it only restricts them a bit, so they should fit nicely on a lot of legs!
Additional Info:
Designed by The Iron Maiden exclusively for Sock Dreams by Sock It To Me.
For more Egyptian symbology we love, check out the Snappy Ankh Garters. And an in-depth look at the different ways of interpreting the eye symbol is available at Egyptological.com. Made in Korea.Fiber Content: 75% cotton, 20% polyester, 5% spandex.
Machine wash in warm water, tumble dry or hang to dry.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianYou haven't lived until you've had this raw cream cheese icing recipe with a big, nice slice of raw carrot cake!
Note that it's the coconut oil that will help this raw cream cheese recipe firm up, so... don't omit it, ok?
The icing will get softer and more gooey (gooeyer?) once it warms up so it's best to ice and then eat right away. Or store your entire cake in the fridge and then cut slices right away.
Enjoy this raw cream cheese icing recipe!

I just made the raw carrot cake with this icing, may I say.. DEVINE! Absolutely delicious! Thank you!
I thought this was really good but missing that tang that I'm used to with cream cheese frosting. I added two large squeezes of lemon juice...bingo excellent. I put it on your carrot cake recipe which I followed to the letter which was also excellent. This is so good I can't believe its healthy. I also added more honey to the frosting...I have a serious sweet tooth.
How big a cake or cupcakes do thou think this will frost? A 9" cake or 12 cuppies? Thanks!
Hi Cupcake! This icing isn't the best for piping. Try my chocolate icing instead :) https://www.therawtarian.com/raw-chocolate-icing
I just made your carrot cake. It is delicious. What I really like about these recipes is not so much that they are raw. Sugar is raw LOL. But the ingredients are healthy too, and yet they taste so bad for you :D

Raw cream cheese icing recipe
This is the most AMAZING thing I have ever tasted...seriously, ever in life. I am looking forward to making more and becoming healthier with your website. I appreciate the wealth of info you have provided and I am so excited to get home and make brownies tomorrow!!!!
This look heavenly and such a versatile recipe to have on hand too. I'm on the lookout for a new blender right now but this is top of my list once I have one :)
I am a big fan of raw cashew frosting for cakes, however I am having a friend over that is allergic to cashews, walnuts, peanuts (most nuts), but he can eat pine nuts. I really don't want to spend the money on a bunch of pine nuts if it won't work out...do you think it might still be good? Do you have any other ideas?
Thank you!
Should the cashews be soaked for this recipe?

Raw cream cheese icing recipe
I made dehydrated carrot cake style crackers then added your cream cheese icing and redehydrated the crackers. They turned out great! My husband liked them so much that he ate an entire tray full. So I guess I'll have to hide them and ration them out to him LOL! Thanks for the great recipe and I can't wait to try the chocolate cream cheese.

"It's Not You - It's Me"
I got half way through this book and was so. intrigued. Here we had this utterly delectable little novel with a great premise, wonderful characters, and an completely unique perspective, and by the time I got right smack dab in the middle of it I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out what diabolical mystery it could all be building up to. And then I found out and all I could think was "oh, is that all? well I can tell where this is headed".
And the book rolled on. And it ended just like I thought it would (I really loved the closing lines though) which afforded me the opportunity to nod sagely to myself while listening to my ipod between classes and ruminate on the inadvisability of trying to predict plot twists. For a long time after I sat and mulled over why I thought it was that I didn't enjoy the latter half of this book as much as the former. I think its because I've just read, if at all possible, too much fantasy. If you know your tropes you can spot this one from a mile away.
But I still liked everything else about it. And obviously I am in the minority in my opinion about not being so hot on it. I don't mean to seem self congratulatory for having figured it out, that's not my intention. I was just hoping for something different. That being said I do not consider this to have been a waste of a credit - I still enjoyed the story, I'm still utterly fascinated by the characters and Ballerini did a fantastic job in bringing it all to life. Quibbles aside, I still recommend it.
In the end I think this book did what it was supposed to do - it introduced me to an author I never would have heard about otherwise, and it made me want to listen to his other works (I've added everything else he offers through Neil Gaiman Presents to my wish list). While this might not have been a strong entry into his cannon for me personally, I can tell he's someone whose work will appeal to me and I look foreword to listening to more first chance I get.
"Wait for it ..."
Literally. There is a story in here about a GIANT GHOST CHICKEN that kills a dude's wife. Not a chicken monster or anything, just a giant evil chicken. The author legitimately wrote that story, sat back, looked at it, and patted himself on the back.
I can't. I just can't.
"Loved It!"
Every woman in the world is a witch.
And not a single man knows it.
At a small New England college professor Norman Saylor and his sensuous wife Tansy live a happy life. One day while idly riffling through some of her belongings he's shocked to find that she's secretly been practicing a form a witch craft behind his back. When he confronts her about it she begs him to let her continue, hinting that she might not be the only woman at the college dabbling in the black arts, and that her spells were only ever meant to help him. Despite protests, Norman forces Tansy to burn all her magical paraphernalia in an attempt to help her overcome what he dubs her "childish psychosis" about charms and magic. Reluctantly Tansy agrees, and as soon as the last charm of protection is fed into the fire, the trouble immediately begins.
There's a lot going on in this story that immediately drew me in. What "Conjure Wife" sometimes lacks in writing, it more than makes up for in theme. The world that Saylor and Tansy inhabit, despite what reader's instinct might other wise say, is instantly believable. You'd think that a world in which every woman in the world has been secretly pulling off spells for the past several thousand years would have something "off" about it, but the fiercely protective and spiteful world of witchcraft hierarchy possess a credible and organic feel to it. Even more so when you take into account that Leiber has chosen to set this particular tale in the already vindictive social world of professor's wives.
But more than all of this, what I found particularly interesting were the ideas of science and gender that Leiber was playing with throughout the book. "Conjure Wife" was written at an interesting time in our nation's history. The atomic bomb has gone off, two world wars had been fought and won, womans lib was coming in a huge wave. One gets the sense that in writing this, Leiber was really trying to write a rallying point for young career aged men to safely explore the inevitable anxieties such social upheavals would have created for the privileged "white male between 18 - 48" set.
And really, can you blame him? Science, and all of its thoroughly modern trappings that had been so lauded as a masculine ideal in the realm of study, had finally begun to lend itself to the creation of horrific weapons capable of destruction beyond imagining. What's more, it was all under man's control, and no heavenly retribution had yet come down from the sky for it. For the first time men were there own gods of destruction - this was shaky new territory at best. It must have seemed terribly cathartic for Leiber, himself an academic, to retreat into a fantasy world that was so dominated by the feminine primitive power.
But I'm digressing. Man I hate that.
The Conjure Wife had a lot more awesome than I expected it to. It's a book in the tradition of the early horror writers that used horror and scifi as a vehicle to explore social anxieties, but it does work remarkably well as an entertaining diversion from the usual witchy type books out there. Recommended.
"Took awhile but now I'm in love"
There's thing thing I do whenever I'm watching a movie that takes place in the past. There will be this moment where there's an angry mob with a bunch of torches getting ready to do something - throw somebody out of town, or make a citizen's arrest, or just cause a general rumpus - and I always think "if only I was there! I would have stood up for justice! For truth! I would have showed these ignorant peasant folk their shame!"
Which is completely hooey.
I mean, in all reality I probably would have been right there in that crowd with them, brandishing my own torch in one hand and pitchfork in the other. But we all like to BELIEVE that we would have been different. We all like to imagine that we would have been the smarter, better looking, better dressed voice of reason in times gone by. SPEAKS THE NIGHTBIRD is the wish fulfillment equivalent of my movie watching experience. Matthew Corbett is a younger, less self assured kind of version of Sherlock Holmes if he had lived in colonial America rather than Victorian England. And of course it's only his incredibly astute eye that can save the incredibly sexy, smart, independent woman falsely accused of witchcraft who is also in possession of curves that kill and a heart made of gold.
What can I say? This one was just pure fun. It did take me awhile to get into this one though. I'm usually the type of reader that likes to go through and nitpick historical fiction, but I didn't feel the slightest bit guilty for turning my brain off and just letting this audiobook have at me. If you're looking for a fun easy read that will keep you occupied for some time to come, then I HIGHLY recommend this one to you. After all what more could you ask for - a great mystery, a little romance, adventure, danger of all sizes and shapes, pirates, Indians, lost treasure, circus performers and a great new character that will leave you wanting more in no time. There were moment were I was actually laughing out loud, and other still where I was biting my nails because I had no idea how the characters were going to get out of trouble this time. I've already purchased the next few books in the series and I'm loving them all. The fact that I'm even willing to put in all the time necessary to listen to these says volumes about how enjoyable these are. After all, they aren't exactly quick reads, and it takes a commitment to finish them.
Recommended for anyone looking for their next swashbuckling adventure.
Alright. So I want to start off by saying that I get what Eugenides is doing here. I really do. I understand the point he's making about how the modern idea of love is based in syncretism. How can we hold onto the idea of a one true love, of the big courtship, the candy and flowers and white wedding in the age of divorce? I understand what he's trying to say about the tenuous relevance Regency and Victorian era romance novels have in our own lives.
I get it. I'm not some boob shaking my fist at a bunch of egg heads because I'm just too stupid to be intellectually engaged by this story.
That being said this one didn't grab me, and if I hadn't been listening to it there's no way in heck I would have finished it.
At first I didn't think it was too bad. I was pulled in by the characters and the writing and the setting. This is a Eugenides novel after all, and there's never been any question that the man can write. His character building is in top form here. Eugenides has this uncanny ability to write female characters that makes me feel uneasy - he's one of the few male writers out there who has been paying attention. But for the first time what normally makes his books so much fun to read - his astute eye for interpersonal relationships, his knack for crafting details, his stories that are set in the here and the now of contemporary America - all converge to make this story what it is. A sack of boring.
Yeah, I get what the characters are going through is rough, but it's all stuff I've seen before. I knew where this was going to end up before it even began, and that's not because I'm some sort of great brain, I've just seen enough reality TV to know that there's nothing really special going on here. One of the reasons I love to read is because I feel like I get to see, and experience and feel things that I've never done or thought of before. But after fishing this book I felt like I could have sat on my front porch and watched all this happen. That's not exactly the feeling I like to be left with after putting in hours of effort. Also, the narrator does a TERRIBLE job of narrating female voices. He reminded me of the boys in middle school trying to effect the voices of love struck older sisters whenever their boyfriend came around. You know the voice.
I did really like parts of this though. And what I liked I really liked, but unfortunately there wasn't enough of them to make this an exciting read.
After all's been said and done I'll say that this is not the author at his best. But if you like his work and you're a completest, then I'll recommend it.
Oh gosh. I got so unbelievably excited when I saw that this was finally going to be available from Audible. When I was a teenager I was in LOVE with this movie. Who didn't secretly want a mom like Cher? But I was still pretty hesitant going into this - 80s cheesiness is one thing. The idea of "seeing" this in print was kind of scary. After all, what if the movie were better, or worse yet, what if the book hadn't held up over the years?
I'm here to tell you that the book and the movie are both equally good. This is a horse of a different color to be sure, but after listening to it I can honestly say that one doesn't eclipse the other. They're both basically their own thing. And as far as I'm concerned Charlotte's coming of age story is just as funny and touching now as it was when it was first written.
I can honestly say I wasn't expecting this book to be as fun as it was. There were moments when I was laughing out loud on my commute to work, and there were moments where I just wanted to sit and be still for a moment because Patty Dann made me remember what it was like to be young, when you felt so much and the world seemed so big. Charlotte is unique in the world of teen fiction. She's the type of character you can see evolving right before your eyes. I loved seeing how she learned to navigate the world around her
Over all this was a great listen. I got everything I wanted from it and then some. Recommended!
A big Thank You to the staff at Audible for making this happen!
"Just a Bit of a Warning"
I had no idea when I bought this that some genius had made the decision to add a background sound every few minutes to the narration. I could just picture some college kid they had paid in burritos in the sound booth, pressing various sound effect buttons and high fiving himself for his totally righteous editing skills.
But still! It's cheap and you could do worse.
"Happy Valentines Day Everybody!"
Well, well, this was surprising. This year for Valentines Day, Audible got me an unexpected gift - the opportunity to be pretentious. Yes fellow Audible users I must confess that I am not the most sophisticated of people as my dear boyfriend will tell you. He's constantly lamenting over the fact that to me the Kraft singles slices make for just as tasty a cheese snack as the fancy stuff he keeps busting a bit of his paycheck on. "But it goes better with the wine honey!" he insists as I sit on the couch, Pabst in hand, watching him struggle with the cork opener. I'll be the first to admit I'm utterly useless.
But no more! Finally I can join him in the upper echelons of sophistication and gentry ever sense I got the opportunity to say, with sincerity, "so and so just doesn't have enough SHAKESPEAREAN training to pull this off." What an adult I've transformed into! Congratulations self, today you are a man.
So, lets talk about story first. There is nothing here that is new. To anybody. So let's not bother. My main problem with this though is that it's LITERALLY a story about a 13 year old girl and a sixteen year old boy. The boy's bummed because he's been shot down, so he goes to a party where he sees a new hot chick and they are instantly In Twu WUV!!!!
I knoooooow, I know. Don't bother telling me. "But the delicacy and intricacy of the language!" "You're missing all of the important points that Shakespeare is making about class differences, seeking to humanize the upper to the lower by showing they are not impervious to human folly!" "Can't you just appreciate it for the poetry it is and seek to reapply it to your general ideas of romance rather than attaching it to a bunch of prepubescent fools? Don't you think you're depriving yourself of something?" Well, I've struggles with all of these and the above is my story and I'm sticking to it. Every time some gorgeous line was uttered, some new height achieved in the expression of romantic poetry, all I could see in my head were the kids in my tenth grade class talking about how they were going to be couples forever! Stupid parents didn't understand! They knew what love was, why not get married now?!
Because you're thirteen and think faking your own death by way of a drug given to you by a grown man willing to marry a pair of tweens together for the poops and giggles is a good idea, that's why. Really, when you take away all the pretty word parts what you're left with is a romance about as exciting as the unsticky side of the band-aid.
Which gives me a great opportunity to return to my original complaint - the narration. What happened LA Theater Works?! Your production of The Importance of Being Earnest was so delightful. Is drama just not you're style? So while I hate to say it, while I readily admit to not being a connoisseur of thespian plays - I really think this cast was not the right one for this production. Flockhart might do fine in her usual productions, but Shakespeare she ain't suited for.
But you know what? NONE OF THIS MATTERS. And you know why? Because I got it for free. :)
Thanks Audible.
I love ya.
"Behold the Power of Narrators!"
The most memorable moment for me was when I reached the end and loved the whole thing so much I didn't even wait for my next monthly credit to buy the next book in the series.
I guess you could say that I'm something of a curmudgeon in that I generally just don't do fun very well. I'm that friend that sits with you in the theater and then complains after about how some small, insignificant detail that had no bearing on the plot, ruined the whole film for me because it ruined the authenticity of the time period, or what ever. Yes. I am THAT person. I'm aware of it though, and I try very, very, very hard not to let other people in on the fact that I am THAT person.
So needless to say that Sookie and I just didn't get along well in print form. I have trouble turning off my brain and just enjoying things (I blame med classes - they will suck the joy out of anything you once held dear and leave you a lifeless, overly serious shell). So every time I desperately needed to relax and tried to read these I just couldn't find a rhythm,. But then I went out on a limb and downloaded this instead.
What a difference!
Parker is SUCH a wonderful choice for this series. She totally and completely got me inside Sookie's head. She adds such a wonderful layer of texture to the atmosphere these characters and story arcs exude. This whole book is just so. darned. fun.
I can not recommend this series enough. For anyone who just wants something funny and totally absorbing to listen to and brighten your day on your commute or while you go about some chores, make no mistake about it - this is the book you've been looking for.
"Chances Are, You'll Be Safe in Judging the Cover"
Recommend a book in the Wicked series? HAHAHAHA.
But why, you might be asking. Didn't I rate the book highly? Didn't I sit through every single one of the Wicked Years, gleefully bouncing up and down in my seat and clapping my hands like a three year old on a sugar rush? Why on earth would I forsake a recommendation on a series that has brought so much joy, so much food for thought, so much lasting pleasure into my life? Well, mostly for the same reason that I would never recommend full body tattoos or natto sushi. Namely, they're a commitment and a unique taste. And those types of books are ones that are rarely shareable. This is a huge monster of a book that requires more than just simple audience participation - it demands that you get on stage and join it in it's antics, and it screams for you to throw a few punches of your own into the mix as well.
Needless to say that if you got this far, if you read/listened to the other books in the series and actually LIKED them, as opposed to grudgingly reading them (which oddly enough, I think a fair number of this series do) , I think it's safe to say that you'll have a similar experience with this one. In a lot of ways I think that Out of Oz is a lot more similar to Wicked than most of its predecessors were.
I suppose I really can't add any more bits of wisdom other than that. The one good thing about Maguire's books is that if you read one you'll pretty much be able to gauge where you stand with all the others. Read Wicked and had mixed feelings? Well replace Wicked with Out of Oz and there's your magic answer. I don't think this is a book that someone should have to squander a credit on in the hopes that "this might be the one". If you haven't liked the series up until now, cut your losses and be done with it. If you do like these books then, yes, I wholeheartedly recommend it to you.
There is no one character - everything he narrates for this series in magical. As always I'm just floored at how wonderful John McDonough is. For me he is THE voice of the Wicked Years. I can't count the number of times I tried to read Wicked on my own way back in the day and failed for any number of reasons. But hearing these books read in his voice brought life into the characters and brought out subtleties in the plot that I never would have been able to construct on my own. Needless to say that while this book would have been fine in its own right, McDonough makes it a pure tour de force. So, that you John for making the commitment to this series.
For one thing the book in print or in audio is HUGE.
Second, Maguire's prose is so steeped in lyricism, in witticisms and allusions that I think it would be a disservice to plow through it without taking some breaks in between to let it all sink in and ponder what it is he's trying to convey to the reader. Plus there is so. damn. much. emotional hardship in this book. Maguire is an author that really likes to put his characters through the wringer, and here, more than any other book in the series, it shows. In fact, I would probably go so far as to say that the central focus in Out of Oz is the concept of the Happily Ever After - that the only After's that really last are the ones that we continually watch over and mend on our own.
Two of my favorite lines/passages :
"She wasn't afraid of doing good or of resisting evil. She was merely afraid she might not be able to tell the difference."
"Maybe that's what growing up means, in the end - you go far enough in the direction of - somewhere - and you realize that you've neutered the capacity of the term home to mean anything. [...] We don't get an endless number of orbits away from the place where meaning first arises, that treasure-house of first experiences. What we learn, instead, is that our adventures secure us in our isolation. Experience revokes our licence to return to simpler times. Sooner or later, there's no place remotely like home."

GAME NOTES: The 10th-ranked Clemson Tigers continue their quest for a second straight ACC title, as they welcome the Maryland Terrapins to Death Valley for a conference showdown at Memorial Stadium this weekend.
Dabo Swinney's Tigers took advantage of Florida State's bye week and crept into a first-place tie with the Seminoles in the Atlantic Division with last week's 56-20 rout of Duke in Durham. With the win, Clemson moved to 8-1 overall and a 5-1 mark in-conference.
Swinney has been pleased at how his team has developed.
"Overall we continue to respond and play as a team." said Swinney following the win in Durham. "It feels great to get a fourth win away from home."
Randy Edsall has certainly had his hands full in 2012, as finding someone to lineup under center has become a full-time job. Maryland has lost four signal- callers this season and actually had a converted linebacker start at quarterback in last weekend's 33-13 loss to Georgia Tech. The loss dropped Maryland to 4-5 overall and 2-3 in league play.
Edsall knew his team was facing a stiff challenge against Tech.
"We knew it was going to be tough going into the game," Edsall said. "We also knew that we were going to have to play great on defense to keep it a very low-scoring game. We weren't able to do that."
Clemson leads the all-time series 32-26-2. These two teams have met every year since 1952, the longest active continuous rivalry for either school in ACC play.
Maryland's struggles under center are well documented this year, culminating in true freshman Shawn Petty getting the start last weekend against the Yellow Jackets. Petty completed just 50 percent of his passes, for 115 yards, although he did throw two TD passes. Still, he was guilty of one interception and two fumbles in the game.
The team's only real offensive weapon is freshman Stefon Diggs, who is having a big year in his first in College Park, leading the team in receptions (43), receiving yards (721) and TD catches (6).
While the offense has failed to find an identity, the Maryland defense has been one of the nation's best, limiting foes to just 301.7 yards per game (11th nationally).
However, the unit suffered a crucial injury of its own against Georgia Tech, as leading tackler Demetrius Hartsfield (78 tackles, 7.0 TFLs, 2.5 sacks, one INT and two fumble recoveries) tore an ACL and is done for the year. The Terrapins must rally now behind players like defensive lineman Joe Vellano (53 tackles, 14.0 TFLs, 6.0 sacks) and linebacker Darin Drakeford (44 tackles, 9.5 TFLs, 6.0 sacks).
The Tigers will present all kinds of problems for the Maryland defense this week, as Clemson is one of the nation's most productive squads, averaging a hefty 42.7 ppg (seventh nationally), while churning out 522.4 yards per game (ninth nationally).
Tajh Boyd is the conductor of the offense, completing 67.8 percent of his throws thus far, for 2,680 yards, with 25 touchdown passes. It definitely helps to have one of the nation's premier receiving duos at his disposal, with DeAndre Hopkins (62 receptions, 1,037 yards, 13 TDs) and Sammy Watkins (38 receptions, 501 yards, two TDs) running wild downfield.
The ground game isn't as potent as the pass game, but tailback Andre Ellington (780 yards, 5.2 ypc, seven TDs) has been solid in creating offensive balance.
The Clemson defense is a step or two behind the offense and has struggled with consistency, allowing a generous 412.3 yards of total offense per game. The team has had real problems stuffing the run (172.3 ypg).
The linebacking corps highlights the defensive effort, with Jonathan Willard (66 tackles, 7.0 TFLs), Stephone Anthony (64 tackles) and Spencer Shuey (61 tackles) being the top three tacklers on the team.
The Terps are at a real disadvantage without the offensive firepower that is needed to match Clemson's scoring potential. The Tigers still need help if they are to reach another ACC title game, but should have little trouble taking care of their own business this weekend.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Clemson 41, Maryland 13

Use the zoom bar to go from a world view to a local view (or in cartographic terms, from a large scale to a small scale). If you zoom out to a world view, you will see that the map is in a Mercator projection.
Use the location menus at the top to zoom from a world view to a continent, country, or other region.
Identify your geographic position on the map using the latitude and longitude display at the bottom left. The latitude and longitude values change as you pan around the map.
Switch between different styles of base maps including a custom layer from National Geographic, satellite, terrain, and topographic views.
Using the 1-Page base map, click on a continent, country, or state to load the corresponding MapMaker 1-Page map.
The tabs on the left offer different tools for working with the map: themes, drawing tools, and markers. Open and close the tabs by clicking the arrows.
Use the transparency scroll bar to change the transparency of map layers. This is a useful tool when you are viewing more than one layer at a time and want to explore relationships between layers.
Notice that not all layers can be viewed at every zoom level. Some map layers will become unavailable when you zoom in to a large scale.
Use the Drawing Tools tab to access tools that allow you to draw lines and shapes and add labels to your map.
Use the Markers tab to find markers that you can drag and drop on the map. You can adjust the marker size to meet your needs.
The measure tool lets you measure distances on the map in either miles or kilometers. Select the tool, click once on the map and move your mouse. Click again and the distance value will appear along your line segment. Keep clicking and panning to measure additional segments and the total distance will display at the end of your line, by the cursor. Double-click to finish and select the arrow tool when you are done measuring.
You can download your map as either an image file to include in a report or presentation or as an XML file that you can re-open. The XML file type is helpful if you are creating a custom map and want to come back to it to work on later.

First off, this is not a bath rug. This is a bath mat or tub mat. It's like a thick towel. For those reviewers complaining that it's like a towel, they don't know what a bath mat is. There is no rubber backing or pile. That said, this is a great bath mat. I wanted one because I hated waiting for the rubber-backed rugs to dry after washing them. I bought these in white so I could bleach them with my towels with minimal care. I bought two - one for stepping out of the shower and one for in front of the sink. They are plush and have held up wonderfully. I plan to purchase two additional to have on hand. Once again overstock, thanks for great selection!
These bathmats had the hem unravel after the very first wash on a regular cycle. They color also faded.
I do not like bathroom rugs, they get gross and fall apart when you wash them - so I've always used what I call "floor towels". The little square towels that are thick and don't slide that you use to step onto after a shower. I've had the hardest time finding them in stores. I'm not sure why they are so difficult to find (even places named after Bathroom stuff don't have them!) I guess they want you to buy one of those little nasty rugs. Well, I always ended up buying them whenever I could find them, and stealing them from hotels. Shopping online for them also was a chore unless I wanted to buy them "in bulk" or something ridiculous. Until I found out they are called bath mats. I know it seems ridiculous, but bath mats are also those rubber things that go in bath tubs to keep you from slipping, correct? So this explains my confusion. Now, for my actual comments on the floor towel, aka "bath mat". I love them! They are very true to the picture in color, they are thicker than they look in the picture and I washed them as soon as I got them and they are soft and fluffy. You won't be disappointed and you get two in a set. So glad I found them, this was my first purchase from Overstock, and I've only gotten part of my order, so I hope the other stuff that comes works out just as well. I've already ordered some more towels since I liked these. Did I tell you what "bath sheets" are? Yes, big towels. They have them here, and not in department stores or big box stores. I bought some of those too. The prices are much better than elsewhere on the web so I am looking forward to receiving them.
Very pleased!! Quality better than what I been able to find in the stores. Soft and absorbs water well. Perfect for our shower.
Was thrilled with the rich color and overall material. It washed up perfect, just like new again!! Love this bathmat!!
good product great use of for home.
These were nice and were the same color as my larger one I bought after the fact. They dry well, but aren't big enough for the tub or shower. Instead i used them in front of the sinks, which worked out perfectly.
I purchased these to match the navy 900 Gram Egyptian Towels. Navy can be a difficult color to match. I took a risk based on the color name and appearance of the picture. Turned out to be an excellent risk (especially because I know I could have returned them no questions asked). The color was perfect. The color has held up well with daily use and washings.
Sweet for the feet...soft and absorbent! Recommend highly.
I have been looking for bath mats for a very long time and couldn't find any. I finally found what I wanted by reading reviews on overstock.com and decided to order these bath mats. I am 150% satisfied. The mats I ordered have been run through the washer and dryer several times and come out looking and feeling brand new. I will be ordering two more sets. I like the blue color better than the green but that is a personal preference. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing or wanting bath mats.

One gravestone at Kirwee (St George's) simply notes the names of four of the children of John Walter and Elizabeth BELGRAVE. I decided to see if I could find out more about the family.
John Walter Belgrave was born in 1861. NZETC has a small bio on him which reads:
Black-smith and Music Teacher, Kirwee. Mr. Belgrave was born in 1861, in Lyttelton, where his father, the late Mr. Robert Belgrave, was for many years a hotelkeeper. He was educated at private and public schools in Lyttelton, and afterwards apprenticed to the blacksmithing trade in Christchurch, where he continued to work for about ten years. In 1884 he established a blacksmith's business, which he still conducts at Kirwee, and has since resided within a few yards of the railway station in that district. Early in life Mr. Belgrave gave evidence of considerable musical talent, and was accordingly placed under capable tutors. Whilst working at his trade in Christcurch he took lessons from Mr. Corrick, and was for two years a member of the band organised and conducted by that gentleman. Mr. Belgrave plays a number of instruments, of some of which he has acquired his knowledge without instruction. He has considerable number of pupils, and was for seven years choirmaster at the local Baptist church. Mr. Belgrave is a member of the Kirwee school committee and of the Courtenay Agricultural and Pastoral Association, and the Orange Lodge; of the latter he is a Past Master.
John married Elizabeth Clarke, daughter of William Clarke of Christchurch, on 30 April 1884 at St Michael's Church in Christchurch, as reported on page 2 of The Star dated 2 May, 1884.
New Zealand BMD online records show John and Elizabeth had many children – the records suggest 12 in total although the full version of the bio above cites 10. Sadly, as the gravestone in the cemetery of St George's Church in Kirwee shows, at least four did not survive early child and adulthood.
John died, aged 70, on 1st March, 1931. His wife Elizabeth died a couple of years later in 1933. Both are buried in the cemetery at St George's in Kirwee.
My interest in the Belgrave children was piqued by the scant detail on the group gravestone.
So how many children did the Belgraves really have?
I have found 12.
First those named on the above gravestone:
Lucilla Alice. Died aged 12 and half years on Christmas Eve, 1906.
(via Papers Past)
Evelyn Mary. Eva, as she was obviously known, was born in 1892 according NZ birth records. Her death is recorded as 1908.
(via New Zealand Births, Deaths, and Marriages)
Mildred was born in 1890, according to NZ birth records. Her father's given name is mispelt 'Watter" instead of Walter on the records. Her death is recorded as 1910, making her just 20 years old when she died.
(via New Zealand Births, Deaths, and Marriages)
I have identified Jack as being John Fleming Belgrave, born 1893. He died aged 18 in 1911.
(via New Zealand Births, Deaths, and Marriages)
Mabel Annie – b. 29 January, 1885
Died in 1885, aged 5 months.
Elsie May – b. 1 March, 1886
Died in 1898, aged 12.
Muriel Emily – b. 1887.
Muriel married Richard Wright in 1904. According to John Harper, President of the Waipara District Historical Society, the couple farmed at The Peaks near Hawarden for some years.
Ethel Maude – b. 1889
Ethel married Albert Edward Henry Moffatt in 1909.
Lucilla Alice – b. 1894
Died in 1907, aged 17. Unmarried.
I believe the death info listed on BMD Online has listed age at death incorrectly and that this is the Lucilla Alice who died age 12, listed on the above headstone.
Elizabeth Martha – b. 1895
Elizabeth married Gordon Hardy in 1918.
Freda Charlotte – b. 1897
Freda married Frederick Edgar Wilson in 1920.
Robert Edwin – b. 1898
Robert married Emily Adeline Bedford in 1925.
Phyllis Amy – b. 25 April 1900 d. 1937
Married Thomas David Jarman 11 November, 1920
If so, I'd love to find out more so drop me a line: email@example.com

Giants' Gaudin looks to secure split with Reds
Cincy's Leake eyes victory No. 10, series win in San Francisco
Wednesday's finale of a four-game series against the Reds likely can't come soon enough for the Giants. Although San Francisco beat Cincinnati, 5-3, in Game 2 of a doubleheader Tuesday night, the Reds have enjoyed most of the success when the teams have taken the field this season.
Cincinnati enters Wednesday's matchup at AT&T Park with a 5-1 record against the defending World Series champions in 2013, outscoring the Giants, 37-11, along the way. Through the first three games of the current series, which included Tuesday's double-dip because of a July 4 rainout in Cincinnati, the Reds have scored 25 runs to the Giants' eight.
Right-hander Chad Gaudin will take the mound in the finale for his eighth start since leaving the bullpen to replace the injured Ryan Vogelsong with the hopes of stifling a Cincinnati offense that has outscored opponents, 35-18, since the All-Star break.
Gaudin is undefeated (4-0) as a starter this season, logging a 2.23 ERA and striking out 35 batters in 40 1/3 innings. He enters Wednesday coming off his strongest outing, in which he tossed seven scoreless innings and gave up just three hits while striking out eight D-backs on Friday.
Although his place in the rotation isn't guaranteed, as Vogelson could return in mid-August, Gaudin has made a strong case for remaining there.
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," manager Bruce Bochy said of Gaudin's future role. "But he has been so consistent, it would be hard to take him out."
Opposing Gaudin, Reds starter Mike Leake seeks his third straight win and 10th overall this season. Leake has yet to see the Giants in 2013, as he was scheduled to face them in the game that was rained out.
Although Leake wasn't as sharp as he'd like to be in his first start of the second half on Friday against the Pirates, he surrendered just three hits before getting tagged for a trio of solo homers in the sixth inning.
"Leake was masterful until either the heat or a monkey jumped on his back and he started getting the ball up," Reds manager Dusty Baker said.
Reds: Mesoraco comes back strong after break
With fellow catcher Ryan Hanigan on the disabled list, Devin Mesoraco has played a big role in the Reds' success coming out of the All-Star break.
In his last six games, including four starts, Mesoraco has gone 9-for-19 (.474) with two homers and six RBIs. He delivered a three-run shot in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader after also homering and scoring two runs in the series opener on Monday.
Mesoraco was not in the lineup to start the second game on Tuesday, but he came on for Corky Miller in the seventh and struck out twice. Despite that, after dealing with back spasms and scuffling before the break, Mesoraco finds himself in a groove to start the second half.
"I feel good," he said. "Coming off the All-Star break, with those three days off, you're able to physically get better [and] mentally take a little break. I came back, and I think for me it's just being able to go up there and relax and be in a good position to hit. I've felt good with my swing here lately, and it's just going out there and I think it's starting to show."
Hanigan, who has been battling an injured left wrist, is expected to come off the DL on Thursday to give the Reds two healthy catchers.
Giants: Arias to begin rehab assignment Wednesday
The Giants have been without Joaquin Arias since July 7, but the 28-year-old infielder will take a major step towards his return on Wednesday, when he begins a rehab assignment with Triple-A Fresno.
Arias underwent an appendectomy on July 8, and will take the field for the first time on Wednesday two weeks and two days following surgery. Typically, a player will return from such a procedure in two or three weeks, putting Arias on schedule.
For the last month, Arias has also been dealing with a strained left hamstring that forced him from a June 24 game against the Dodgers. On the season, he's batting .282 with 10 RBIs in 110 at-bats.
Worth noting
• With the split on Tuesday, the Giants are 17-33 against non-NL West opponents, as their next 32 games will be against teams outside the division.
• The Reds have won four of six since the All-Star break.
• Wednesday marks the last meeting of the season between San Francisco and Cincinnati. The Giants have three more games at home before heading out on the road, while the Reds will continue their West Coast swing against the Dodgers.

NormaYou're very lucky to have access to whole raw milk, I could be wrong but I don't think it is sold in NY state.
That might be the case, I just don't think many farms will sell it because they don't want the hassles which could result should someone get sick from the milk. I'm positive that if I were to go in search of raw milk, it would be a long and probably fruitless search in my home area.
looking great so far Norma!
Looking very good! I'll have to order some rennet and get some organic milk and get to it... you are making me hungry!
Looks right to me Norma! The dough is unleavened, so it's just oil, flour and water kneaded, rested and stretched. Your effort spurs me to get my cheesy act together.....

Sustainability. Recycle and reuse. Zero waste. Perhaps you've heard some of these terms on the TV or radio, or in an article. What do they really mean to us in Lyons? Next month, Tuesday, February 15, the Lyons Sustainable Future Commission will be hosting "Sustainability 101," a class to help those new to the idea of sustainability decode what this type of living looks like in the real world, and why it is critical to a healthy future.

The Lyons Area Chamber of Commerce (LACC) presented representatives from the Lyons Garden Club (L to R) Anne O'Brien, Ann Marie Mikoni, Joycelyn Fankhouser with the 1st Annual "Spirit of Lyons Award." The award was created by the LACC to recognize the contributions to the community by an individual or organization by reflecting, in modern times, the manner in which our founding families created a community in this valley. The recipient's efforts on behalf of the Lyons Community sets a contemporary example for the rest of us to follow. This award is intended to draw the community's attention to that example.

I wanted to take just a minute to address an issue I believe is of extreme importance to our community, and specifically to our youth — Medical Marijuana. How are we as a town going to respond to it?
