"I bought these to use at home. I have two kids (3 and 5) and wanted glasses for all of us that would stand up to being knocked over and thrown in the dishwasher and could also be used outdoors. These stack easily in the cabinet and no water accumulates on the botton when they are in the dishwasher (my personal pet peeve)."

Phoenix Suns
Did former Sun Cedric Ceballos take a shot at Lance Blanks?
Losing streaks seem to be the norm these days in the Valley, and the Phoenix Suns are not immune.
The Suns dropped their seventh straight game Sunday night 98-90 to the Orlando Magic and now have the third-worst record in the Western Conference at 7-15.
With nine new faces on the roster and no star player in sight, cautioning on the side of patience might be well-served when analyzing the Phoenix Suns' rough start in 2012-13.
However, former Sun and in-game host Cedric Ceballos had this to say just a few hours after Phoenix's loss to Orlando.
iF u were a BAD player (bad meaning, can't play) u will never b a good GM #nuffced— Cedric Ceballos (@cedceballos) December 10, 2012
Ceballos didn't name any names, so he could seemingly have been taking a shot at owner Robert Sarver, president of basketball operations Lon Babby or general manager Lance Blanks, since after all each of the three men have some role in the decision-making process.
But Sarver and Babby have played a combined zero games in the NBA, so Ceballos' shot is likely directed at Blanks.
From 1991-1993, Blanks, a former first-round draft pick, played in parts of three seasons with the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 2.0 points and 7.2 minutes per game for his career.
If directed at Blanks, Ceballos' harsh analysis could stem from the fact the organization failed to retain his contract after the 2010-11 season.
Although the facts seem to back him up.
Since Blanks was hired in August 2010, the Suns have missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons and have a combined 80-90 record. During that time, the team has also parted ways with fan favorites Steve Nash and Grant Hill, while bringing in the likes of Vince Carter and Michael Beasley.

Bishops: tabernacle in centre (United States).
As The Wanderer notes: "One after another, nearly three dozen bishops, including three cardinals, acknowledged how the liturgical changes and mandates of the postconciliar period have weakened, damaged or destroyed the faith of the Catholic people.
"And by far the biggest mistake, it was finally acknowledged, was the recommendation' that the tabernacle should be removed from a central altar" (Dec. 2, 1999).
The barrage of criticism was caused when a new document, Domus Dei, continued to push the same approach found in the earlier, 1978, document Environment and Art in Catholic Worship. How do we know? Because unlike in Canada, where the annual bishops' sessions are closed to the press, in Washington the deliberations are held in public.
Consequently, in the United States there is far greater openness and wider discussion about new documents which are launched by one or other Church committee. Some of the documents are discussed for years before being amended and submitted for a final vote. One document on feminism was discussed for eight years before being dropped altogether.
In the case of Domus Dei, the Conference made it absolutely clear that its recommendations, especially on removing the tabernacle, are slated for flat out rejection.
Cardinal Law of Boston pointed out that the Vatican will be publishing liturgical guidelines soon, and that it is unwise to make any national ones before these guidelines come out. (Perhaps the Canadian bishops will see wisdom in this before going ahead with their own newly prepared Our Place of Worship.)
Archbishop Sheehan of Santa Fe said: "We have all experienced a lessening of devotion to the Eucharist, a loss of the sense of the Real Presence; the sense of the sacred has suffered. I can't help believing that placing the Eucharist in a separate chapel, often hidden and small, is part of the reason we have a crisis in belief in the Real Presence....Out of sight, out of mind, is what has happened."
Archbishop Curtiss of Omaha asked why the new book adopts the "recent development" that Christ is present in the assembly just as much as he is in the Blessed Sacrament, adding: "It's misleading to say all forms of Christ's presence are equal and all should have prominence of place. The prominent place is the altar and the tabernacle."
Cardinal Hickey of Washington, D.C., observed: "If tabernacles are reinstated it will help restore a sense of prayer to our churches....We should not overlook private visits. These are the ways we sustain our faith in the Eucharist."

ASIA/SOUTH KOREA - The Bishops: "Korea, rise up in splendor!", the Pope is coming
Seoul (Agenzia Fides) - " Korea, rise up in splendor! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you" (Is 60:1), with this quote of the prophet Isaiah, the Bishops of South Korea have welcomed with great joy, the announcement of the visit of Pope Francis in Korea. His Holiness Francis will make an Apostolic Trip to the Republic of Korea from 14 to 18 August 2014, on the occasion of the Sixth Asian Youth Day, to be held in the Diocese of Daejeon
and for the celebration of beatification of the 124 Korean martyrs.
"The Pope's visit is desired by many Asian churches", the Bishops said in a message signed by the President of the Episcopate, Mgr. Peter Kang Woo Sun, and sent to Fides Agency. "Pope Francis will visit the entire Asian continent. It will be a heartfelt exhortation to "seek peace on the Korean peninsula" and an "encouragement for the young Asians and for their deepest aspirations". The Bishops hope that "everyone prays for this event", especially to support the Church of the entire Asian continent, so it may be able "to proclaim the Good News of God's peace and shine the light and glory of Christ, who is the cornerstone".
The presence of Pope Francis in Korea and in Asia, the Prelates conclude, "is a great sign of hope, joy and peace". (PA) (Agenzia Fides 11/03/2014)

- The prep for the metal is time consuming, but the metal must be prepped properly so the paint will not come off. Clean the black tin with vinegar and water, wipe dry with cheesecloth. Apply one thin coat of Paint Adhesion medium over the entire surface with a large brush. Clean brush immediately with soap and water. Allow to completely dry. Mix together equal parts of the basecoat color, Fawn, with the Paint Adhesion Medium. Basecoat the entire surface using a large 1″ brush. Allow this to completely dry. It will take longer because of the medium. Do not rush this step. Apply the basecoat color again. Allow to dry and apply two more time.
- Randomly drybrush Shimmering Silver, Rich Espresso, and Copper to the base and shade. This will completely cover the original Fawn base. Base 2/3 of a sheet of mixed media paper with Shimmering Silver and the other 1/3 with Royal Ruby.
- Place the text stamp onto acrylic handle. Dampen sponge and remove as much water as possible. Load with Lamp Black. When using paint on stamps it is important that you do not overload the image. Pour a puddle of paint out on the palette. Pounce the sponge into the paint and then on a clean area of the palette. When you look at the bottom of the sponge it should be covered by paint but you should still be able to see the texture of the sponge. Now quickly pounce the loaded sponge over the entire image and stamp it onto the surface. Reload and continue stamping the entire surface.
- Load the clock stamp onto a handle. Load with Lamp Black and stamp onto silver section of the paper twice with this stamp, reloading between impressions. Reload and stamp onto the shade three times, spacing it equally around the shade. Cut out the clocks then cut about 1/3 off the top of them and set to the side. Stamp the architectural stamp three times on the silver section. Stamp the Bird Gears once on the silver section and once on the ruby section. Cut out all images and set to the side.
- Stamp the Bird Gears onto two wide sections of the base with Lamp Black.
- In this order, glue the paper clock pieces to the narrow sides of the base, the architectural elements to the base and shade, gears and cogs overlapping some of the paper pieces, and finally the geared bird over one of the original impressions. Add the silver wing and eye to this bird.
- Allow to cure 24 hours and then coat with matte varnish.

Fantasy Literature: 9:15 pm EST, March 17, 1998 — Farewell Nantucket
Welcome to the "Fantasy Literature" blog series. I teach. I write. And now I blog. First up, a quick look at three novels by S. M. Stirling: Island in the Sea of Time (1998), Against the Tide of Years (1999), and On the Oceans of Eternity (2000).
These novels follow the circumstances consequent to the "event" of 9:15 in the evening, March 17, 1998. The island of Nantucket and nearby waters (including the Coast Guard cutter Eagle) become englobed by flashing lightning, described by Captain Alston of the Eagle as "Like being under the biggest, gaudiest salad bowl in the world."
The shimmering dome of light persists for some time, then vanishes. The crew and officers of the Eagle, and the inhabitants of Nantucket, soon discover they now exist in 1250 BC. While they have modern conveniences, such as guns and engines, the technology (bullets and fuel) on the island now represents all of the high technology on the entire planet.
The event calls leadership to the fore. The islanders will soon starve, for example, cut off as they are from regular grocery deliveries from the mainland. The novel's protagonist Captain Marian Alston and other leading lights guide the islanders through the first years of their temporal stranding, facing not only the many emergencies related to basic survival but also the defection of a junior Coast Guard officer, who heads off to establish himself as a Wizard (remember your Arthur C. Clarke?) King, and not a nice one at that.
Black Gate readers may wonder at the inclusion of such technology-driven novels here at this haven for all things Swords & Sorcery. Fear not. There is plenty of swash to buckle in these novels. Plenty of battles. While firearms do come into play, much combat is that of old — muscle-powered weapons, armor, sweat, and blood.

Brazile secures second triple crown
LAS VEGAS Trevor Brazile added team and tie-down roping world titles to his all-around crown Saturday night in the National Finals Rodeo to become the third Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association competitor win multiple triple crowns.
Brazile, the 14-time world champion from Decatur, Texas, earned $211,509 at the 10-round NFR - a record for a single rodeo by more than $65,000 - to pushed his season total to a record $507,921.
Brazile joined Everett Bowman (1935, 1937) and Jim Shoulders (1956-58) as multiple triple crown winners. When Brazile completed his other triple in 2007, he won gold buckles in all-around, tie-down roping and steer roping. This year, he exchanged steer roping for team roping.
"You win the all-around and you think, 'That's awesome. That's what I've been working for,'" Brazile said. "Then I was telling myself, 'Don't mess this up. This could be huge.'
"When I won the team roping, that was something they weren't expecting me to do at all. Then that even put more pressure in calf roping. I'd already done it where they didn't expect me to. I sure couldn't screw it up where they thought it was a layup. It was weird because the pressure kept mounting. It didn't release."
In tie-down roping, Brazile won both the world and NFR aggregate standings titles by finishing ninth with a time of 9.1 in the 10th round. Brazile topped the world standings with $233,827 and the aggregate with an overall time of 88.6 over 10 rounds. Shane Hanchey of Sulphur, La., who led the aggregate race entering the final round, didn't place with a time of 22.5.
Tuf Cooper of Decatur, Texas, won the round in 6.9 seconds. He finished second to brother-in-law Brazile in both the world standings with $203,968 and in the aggregate with an overall time of 96.7 for 10 rounds. In team roping, Brazile and Patrick Smith of Midland, Texas, took the world standings header and heeler titles away from Clay Tryan of Billings, Mont., and Travis Graves of Jay, Okla.
Tryan and Graves were unable to record a time in the round, while Brazile and Smith didn't place among the top six, but have a run of 7.5. Brazile earned $201,392, while Smith made $202,189 this season.
Luke Brown and Martin Lucero, both of Stephenville, Texas, claimed the NFR aggregate standings title with an overall time of 65.5 over 10 rounds. But Brazile and Smith each earned a $36,436 bonus for placing second in the aggregate standings at 50.1 for nine rounds. The bonus allowed Brazile and Smith to pass Tryan and Graves in the world standings.
Brazile and Smith broke the NFR earnings record in team roping with $120,419, enough to push them past the record $106,292 earned in 2009 by Nick Sartain and Kollin VonAhn.
Chad Masters of Clarksville, Tenn., and Jade Corkill of Fallon, Nev., won the round in 3.9.
In bareback riding, Bobby Mote of Culver, Ore., won his fourth world championship with a fifth-place ride of 85 on Delta Ship. Mote trailed standings leader Steven Dent by just under $6,000 entering the round, but was second in the aggregate standings and earned a $36,436 bonus while Dent finished eighth. Dent also didn't place among the top six in the 10th round. Mote previously won in 2002, 2007 and 2009.

AHL Game Night 12/23: Falcons at PiratesSubmitted by pete on December 23, 2006 - 21:54
Eric Healey plays the role of Santa Claus.
Karri Ramo stopped 24 of 26 shots faced for the win as Steve Stirling gave the Finnish netminder the nod after a strong game against Hartford last night. Ramo moves to 9-7-0 this year with the win. But the real story was veteran Eric Healey who had a pair of goals including the winning marker with 4:12 left in the third period. Daniel Corso had a pair of assists in the game. Sylvain Dufresne had the other Falcons goal, his first point of the year. Norm Milley, Marek Kvapil, Blair Jones and Jay Rosehill each had individual assists. Rosehill is now +2 in 21 games this year, which is tied for team best with Corso.
With the win, the Falcons avoid falling to .500 for the holidays and in knocking off Portland they now move within 5 points of the division lead. Springfield moves into 8th in the Eastern Conference with 33 points.
First Period
POR Konopka, (9) (Rome, Genoway), 12:05 (PP)

WJC Exhibition: Slovakia vs. BelarusSubmitted by pete on December 23, 2006 - 14:30
Three days away from the opening of the U20 World Junior Championships and exhibition tune up games are well underway. Slovakia defeated Belarus today 5-3 in their second tune up match in Sweden. Both defenseman Vladimir Mihalik and left wing Marek Bartanus were scoreless in the match for Slovakia. Mihalik played on the team's first pairing and received 6 minutes in penalties in the matchup. Bartanus played on Slovakia's second line and had 6 penalty minutes as well. Both players were involved in an ugly scrum in the middle of the third period which led to double roughing minors for each.
Bartanus had Slovakia's only goal in their 4-1 exhibition loss to Finland on Friday.

Suresh Krishnamoorthy
HYDERABAD: When this son of a police constable hailing from Mogaltur in West Godavari district faced the cameras for the first time in 1978, very few people believed he had it in him. But for sure, Chiranjeevi, nee Konidela Sivasankara Varaprasad had tons of confidence and never lost his verve.
After his debut, 'Punaadi Raallu', he did 'Manavuri Pandavulu', 'Intilo Ramayya Veedhilo Krishnayya', 'Kothala Raayudu', 'Punnami Naagu', 'Kiraayi Rowdeelu', 'Subhalekha' and 'Maga Maharaju', not to forget 'Khaidi' - all this in the first decade of his tryst with tinsel town.
It was in 1988 that Chiranjeevi got the title 'Megastar', during producer K.S. Rama Rao's 'Marana Mrudangam' that hit the screens in August, 1988. In the same year, the K. Balachander-directed 'Rudraveena' was released, showing the megastar in a different light and he bagged the Nargis Dutt Award.
He also did 'Pasivaadi Praanam', K. Vishwanath's 'Swayamkrushi' and 'Yamudiki Mogudu'. Chiranjeevi however, acquired the 'mass' tag and his 'steps' in his dances and fights became a rage. Ever since the 90s, with movies like 'Kodama Simham', 'Gharanaa Mogudu', 'Hitler', the mass image stuck with him. His films in the new millennium - 'Indra' in 2002, 'Tagore' (2003), 'Shankardada MBBS' (2004), 'Andarivadu' and 'Jai Chiranjeeva' (2005), 'Shankar Dada Zindabad' (2007) had a social and political overtones that set his fans thinking.
He proved that he was not merely an 'action hero' when he bagged Nandi Awards for 'Swayamkrushi' in 1987 and 'Apathbandhavudu' in 1992 besides the Southern Filmfare Award for Best Actor seven times. He was honoured with the 'Padma Bhushan' in 2006 and got an honorary doctorate from the Andhra University for his contribution to films and his social service through the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust, including the eye and blood banks.
All through his three-decades long tryst with the tinsel town, Chiranjeevi has seen the 'ups and downs' and every time there was a flop, he swam to the top with his perseverance and performance.

Major U.S. stock indexes veered lower in late-afternoon trading Tuesday, on course for their first decline in two days. Traders seized on the final day of the quarter to do some profit-taking and prune their portfolios. Health care stocks were among the biggest decliners. Oil prices extended their slide.

Why You Should Root For the Chargers
NFL playoffs continue this weekend
It's because of their Jewish quotient!
Kaplan's Korner breaks it down: of the eight remaining playoff teams, the San Diego Chargers have two Jews (David Binn and Antonio Garay), the Dallas Cowboys also have two Jews (Igor Olshansky and Kyle Kosier), and the Minnesota Vikings have one (Sage Rosenfels). It's probably not worth letting Rosenfels sway you in favor of the Vikings: he's an aging back-up quarterback who gets very little playing time due to Minnesota's aging starting quarterback, Brett Favre. Nor should you root for the Cowboys, ever.
So go Chargers! Phillip Rivers is the NFL's most exciting young quarterback. Running back LaDanian Tomlinson (and, yes, Coach Norv Turner) deserve a Super Bowl win. As do the Chargers, a venerable franchise that dates back to the American Football League's founding 50 years ago but has yet to bring home a Lombardi Trophy. To get prepared for this weekend's game—San Diego hosts the New York Jets on Sunday at 4:40 P.M., EST—check out this new profile (via Kaplan's Korner, natch) of Chargers defensive tackle Antonio Garay.
Oh, and for the record, the favorites will win this weekend (home team in caps):
NO (-7) over Arizona; INDIANAPOLIS (-6.5) over Baltimore; MINNESOTA (-2.5) over Dallas; New York (+7.5) over SAN DIEGO—but San Diego wins the game.

I live in Suffolk county and my basement walls are weeping water from the rain we just experienced. Is there any way to waterproof the basement without digging out the foundation from the outside?
I have a brownstone in Brooklyn and am thinking of digging out the basement(about a foot?)to get more height down there.
The basement is now damp, the floor is concrete with dirt caked on it.
I'm thinking i might be able to do something about the moisture issue at the same time.
look forward to hearing from you.

I think that scale is referred to a Three Beam Balance.
Is the device called a platform scale
The device is probably called a "steelyard".
HELP! We recently viewed a rental apt and noticed that the metal radiator covers were very grubby and we wondered if there had been any radiator leakage. The realtor and landlord assured us that there had been no leaks. We have just moved in and while cleaning, took off the metal radiator covers in both the bedroom and living room to discover the floorboards and lower window frame around the radiator are warped as a result of a radiator leak going untreated. We have told landlord and he is sending his handy man - who has been treating the leaks and other apartment issues for years with woodfill, cocking and paint. Do we have a right to tell the landlord how we want the issue fixed???
for the question , is the slider called mass or masse?
I just had my side deck replaced. It looks great -- but the beams rest on the posts, and are nailed in by 4 nails driven at an angle. My old deck had metal braces that screwed into both the post and the beams.
My contractor says the metal braces are not needed. Is this true? It just seems like a great deal of weight depending on 4 nails per post...
Thank you, love the show, Mr Lopate and the Gurus!!
When we have a heavy rain here in Brooklyn, our brownstone yard often floods into the basement.
(we had to redirected thour roof rain water from the plumbing system into the yard because it used to back up from the street sewers during heavy rain into the basement shower and toilet)
So we are thinking now of creating a dry well in the back yard - d you think this is a good idea? any suggestions for how to do this? or any alternatives?
quiz answer : "Weights & Measures"
Is it called a balance?
I think it is called a "balance pan"
Hello. We are thinking of replacing an old wooden vanity, and we would like to reuse the original ceramic sink that seems to be very firmly glued on. How can we remove the sink in one piece to reuse it? We still miss our super, even though we moved from NYC 23 years ago. We can use all of the help we can get - thanks!
Beam Scale. Answer to quiz question. (Because I'm too lazy to call.)
I loved Leonard. Woman: "I hear the water 'tapping.'" Leonard: "you mean dripping." [you fool]

Hello Gurus
Speaking of leaks and drips...
Out upstairs neighbors have two old air conditioners placed outside winds above our small terrace. Not only are they very loud, they drip over our door to the patio. Is the effluent toxic or unhealthy or legal?Is therer a reliable way to prevent or drain this> Is there a limit on noise as well?
We live in a co -op by and by.
I am purchasing a two-story single-family home in New Jersey. The home inspector noted that the attic has only a few soffit vents and recommended more ventialtion be installed. He suggested additional soffit vents, a ridge vent, and gable end vents noting that you can't really over do it. What's a reasonable plan?
I have a house built 1899. On each side of the porch steps is a structure about 10' x 3' x 1'. There's a banister attached to one of them. I've always wanted to know what they are called.
My boyfriend took a trip in our apartment and knocked his head into the bedroom door. His bowling ball head his fine but our cheap hollow bedroom door is now smashed in at the point of impact. We rent so we will have to replace it, but is this a job you think some rookies like us could handle or should we find a local handyman?
I have a 2nd floor deck (10' x 12') over our kitchen porch; deck floor is asphalt roofing on which the water puddles in the middle rather than draining to the gutters. No leaks onto the porch yet, but I'm guessing this is not good long-term. Is there a DIY way for an amateur to fix the roof slant so water drains off (without ruining the roof)? Thanks for any advice.
P.S., I'm a former Accurate Building customer - Al did the inspection for our first home purchase in 1982, an apartment in a 10-family self-managed co-op in Brooklyn Heights, and I still appreciate his professionalism and patience in advising a very nervous first time buyer.
Hi Guys:
I am a teacher and can focus on home repair only during summer. I've been looking at the shingles on the apron roof outside my study window. (I should be writing college recommendations!) The shingles seem pretty worn, and there is a little moss growing on the roof. Do I need a need roof? How can you tell? How do you find a roofer you can trust?

The front cover was revealed a while back, but now StarWars.com has the back and flap copy. The book is currently set for a July 20 release.
Namesake corner. Topps is saluting the 'Women of Star Wars' in their Galaxy 5 line. And since you can only have so many slave Leias before the theme gets tired, there's an Adam Hughes Mara Jade card. Granted, it's Adam Hughes and thus total cheesecake, but we're used to that.
Visions peek. I can't believe there's, like, war and battle and stuff in the Star Wars art book. Ugh. (P.S. If we're going there, I would love something ROTJish in the style of The Death of General Wolfe. And prints, because I would so totally buy prints of that if it was done with a stylistically straight face.)
Would you like some false hope with that? IGN has 'thoughtfully' compiled all the leading candidates for the totally nonexistent, never-going-to-happen (except for probably that bounty hunter thing in the live action series) additional Star Wars movies. Basically, what I am saying is, no matter how good the effects on Avatar are, don't hold your breath. (Yeah, I am a little sick of this topic and Dark Empire? Are you kidding me? …Sorry.)
Crosscurrent. Check out chapter two of Paul S. Kemp's upcoming paperback. Meanwhile, the first review has surfaced over at Stomping on Yeti.
The Old Republic. NJOE's Rogue77 found a brief summary for Sean William's The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance.
NJOE spotted a blurb for Fate of the Jedi: Allies – the fifth book in the series, and second by Christie Golden – on Amazon.co.uk. The second half sounds like it could be a bit spoilery for Backlash, so highlight to read.
In the middle novel of the bestselling nine-book "Star Wars" series "Fate of the Jedi", an uneasy – and unprecedented – coalition of Jedi and Sith enter the dark and treacherous area of space known as the Maw to search out the strange being that has been reaching out to Luke Skywalker during his journey to retrace the travels of his late nephew, Jacen Solo. Forced to wait on the planet Klatooine for reinforcements from Lando Calrissian, this already fragile alliance is threatened by the presence of the Hutts, and while Leia, Han, Jaina, and Jag walk a fine line between obeying the law of the Galactic Alliance and supporting Luke, Jedi Ben Skywalker and Sith Apprentice Vestara Khai may be the ones to lead the mission to triumph – or disaster.
Allies is due out May 25.
StarWars.com has revealed the back cover of Fate of the Jedi: Backlash, featuring an extremely flattering image of the sixtysomething Admiral Daala. Sue says: "She's now sporting an artificial eye — her left one. She has been taking excellent care of herself over the years." Or, this is just a cover, can we please stop overthinking it?
Oh, and there's a blurb:
Repercussions from the dark side's fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue to wreak havoc galaxy-wide. Having narrowly escaped the deranged Force worshippers known as the Mind Walkers, and a deadly Sith hit squad, Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now Masterless Sith apprentice Vestara Khai. It is a chase that leads to the forbidding planet Dathomir, where an enclave of powerful dark-side Force-wielders will give Vestara the edge she needs to escape — and where the Skywalkers will be forced into combat for their quarry and their lives.
Meanwhile, Han and Leia Solo are on their own desperate mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi from Coruscant to safe haven in the Transitory Mists — and beyond the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. But the bold maneuver only intensifies Daala's fury, and she is determined to shatter Jedi Order resistance once and for all.
Yet, no greater threat exists than that which still waits in the depths of the distant Maw Cluster: A being of pure, ravenous dark-side energy named Abeloth calls out across the stars to Jedi and Sith alike. For some, it may be the ultimate source of answers crucial to their survival. For others, it could be the ultimate weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing — and life-altering — encounter of untold magnitude, and a tactical gambit with unimaginable consequences.
Backlash is the fourth Fate of the Jedi novel and the second by Aaron Allston. It's due out in March.
NJOE found the first blurb for Karen Miller's Clone Wars Gambit – Siege at Amazon.co.uk. (Where else?) It contains some (possible) spoilers for the yet-unreleased first part, Stealth, so it's black-barred below the cut. Continue reading
SWBooks.co.uk spotted a brand new (and somewhat awkward) blurb for Allston's Fate of the Jedi: Backlash at amazon.co.uk.
Three major storylines run through the "Fate of the Jedi" series. One is the odyssey of Jedi Grand-Master-in-Exile Luke Skywalker and his son Ben, as they travel from one world of non-Jedi Force-users to the next in search of clues as to what might have turned Jacen Solo to embrace the evil ways of the Sith Lords. The second is the attempts of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala to break the power of the Jedi Order, while young Jedi Knights on a variety of worlds are inexplicably going insane. And the third is the tale of a previously unknown lost tribe of Sith as they rejoin the known galaxy determined to kill Luke Skywalker, destroy all the Jedi, and reinstate the Sith as supreme rulers. In "Backlash", Luke and Ben will visit the deadly world of Dathomir, home to the Night Sisters, otherwise known as the Dathomiri Witches, as an ancient evil, released from its prison, stretches its hungry tendrils ever farther through the galaxy.
Dathomir? I am so glad Denning isn't writing this one.
NJOE spotted a very detailed synopsis of Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil at Random House, while Star Wars Books spotted one for The Clone Wars: Gambit – Stealth on Amazon UK:
This is the first installment of a two-book. It presents Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker adventure, set against the backdrop of the "Clone Wars!". Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are on a secret mission to one of the many worlds caught in the middle of the struggle between the Republic and the Separatists. A pastoral planet, Lanteeb wants only to be left alone to survive – but it is the source of what could be one of the most devastatingly destructive weapons ever. If this potential weapon were to fall into the hands of the Separatists, uncounted worlds would fall. But should the Republic succeed in destroying it first, one world that needs it to survive will be annihilated. A frightening dilemma that Obi-Wan and Anakin will have to untangle, if they can get in and out of the occupied planet alive.
StarWars.com has the first look at Paul Kemp's Crosscurrent. Head over to check out Dave Seeley's full cover.
An ancient Sith ship hurtles into the future carrying a lethal cargo that could forever destroy Luke Skywalker's hopes for peace.
The Civil War is almost over when Jedi Knight Jaden Korr experiences a Force vision so intense he must act. Enlisting two salvage jocks and their ship, Jaden sets out into space. Someone — or something — appears to be in distress.
But what Jaden and his crew find confounds them. A five-thousand-year-old dreadnaught — bringing with it a full force of Sith and one lone Jedi — has inadvertently catapulted eons from the past into the present. The ship's weapons may not be cutting-edge, but its cargo, a special ore that makes those who use the dark side nearly invincible, is unsurpassed. The ancient Jedi on board is determined to destroy the Sith. But for Jaden, even more is at stake: for his vision has led him to uncover a potentially indestructible threat to everything the Jedi Order stands for.
The book is scheduled for January 26.
SWBooks.co.uk noticed a new, heftier blurb on the Random House listing for the third Fate of the Jedi book, Denning's Abyss. This might be spoilery for book 2, Omen, so highlight to read:
Following a trail of clues across the galaxy, Luke Skywalker continues his quest to find the reasons behind Jacen Solo's dark downfall and to win redemption for the Jedi Order. Sojourning among the mysterious Aing-Tii monks has left Luke and his son Ben with no real answers, only the suspicion that the revelations they seek lie in the forbidden reaches of the distant Maw Cluster. There, hidden from the galaxy in a labyrinth of black holes, dwell the Mind Walkers: those whose power to transcend their bodies and be one with the Force is as seductive and intoxicating as it is potentially fatal. But it may be Luke's only path to the truth.
Meanwhile, on Coruscant, the war of wills between Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala and the Jedi Order is escalating. Outraged over the carbonite freezing of young Jedi Knights Valin and Jysella Horn after their inexplicable mental breakdowns, the Jedi are determined to defy Daala's martial tactics, override Council Master Kenth Hamner's wavering leadership, and deal on their own terms with the epidemic of madness preying on their ranks. As Han and Leia Solo, along with their daughter Jaina, join the fight to protect more stricken Knights from arrest, Jedi healers race to find a cure for the rapidly spreading affliction. But none of them realize the blaster barrel is already swinging in their direction–and Chief Daala is about to pull the trigger.
Nor do Luke and Ben, deep in the Maw Cluster and pushing their Force abilities beyond known limits, realize how close they are–to the Sith strike squad bent on exterminating the Skywalkers, to a nexus of dark-side energy unprecedented in its power and its hunger, and to an explosive confrontation between opposing wielders of the Force from which only one Master–good or evil–can emerge alive.
Abyss is due in August, while Omen comes out on the 23rd.

Talk about one whopper of a week. This has been one of those five-day hauls when The Bandit is just about ready to turn himself into Smokey. But, not quite, there's still some business to be done. The business of awesome bold and beautiful skin from some of our favorite celebrities courtesy of your generous donations. A little gift giving circle we like to call Reader Finds.
This week's Reader Finds includes Amanda Bynes from not so long ago looking hot in a bikini (thanks to EgoReader 'JHay'), a classic throwback to Joy Harmon in Cool Hand Luke with one of the best car wash scenes ever (kudos to 'Benny' for that), Estella Warren flashing her whale tail (dropped upon us by 'Dennis'), Karina Jelinek nekkid on the beach (quite a sight from 'Esteban'), the talented Vikki Blows showing off her talents (donated by 'Rudy'), convicted killer Jodi Arias nekkid, fyi, we waited until she was convicted to show these (but inspired by 'Anon', thanks), Cheryl Burke in a see-through top and Jessica Alba camel toe and Ariel Winter bikini shot (and you're welcome from "Pito'), Micaela Schaefer topless goodness (courtesy of 'Rix'), Gwnyeth Paltrow assorted skin pics (blessings from 'Dave M.'), and Selena Gomez hot screencaps (friended here by 'Ambrus'). Quite a goodness haul indeed. Enjoy.

Practical diet and lifestyle advice to help you feel your best
February 21, 2015
A nutritious diet for flawless skinLatest post
Flawless, glowing skin is something we all strive to achieve, as a perfect, glowing complexion certainly makes us look younger and healthier. Skin condition is a visible representation of how our 'insides' are coping. It reflects our state of health in many ways, including our digestive and hormone health. If you have symptoms such as dry skin, or acne, this may be a reflection of your nutritional status and other processes in the body which may not be functioning optimally.
Of course, there is always a chance that you are prone to a specific skin condition such as eczema (perhaps due to a hereditary predisposition), but this does not inevitably mean suffering. Managing symptoms such as dry skin and breakouts are all possible with the help of correct nutrition. Nourishing your skin from the inside out is the most effective way of feeding your skin everything it needs to function optimally.
MSc qualified nutritionist with a passion for helping people achieve their health goals in a delicious and practical way. My goal in the clinic is to help you optimise your health while minimising unwanted symptoms. Diet advice is given to help you feel your best, boost energy levels and improve mood, while providing optimum nutrition to prevent illness and disease. I recommend dietary and lifestyle changes to fit around your personal schedule and take in to consideration your preferences to ensure an enjoyable health plan.

There are many teams across this state that have already received the bad news. They have lost key district games, and they will not be playing football beyond the final week of the regular season.
While times might seem tough for some of our area schools, Clay County is fortunate enough to be able to say that all three teams, the Hebron Christian Eagles (1-6; 0-1), the Oak Hill Academy Raiders (2-6; 1-1) and the West Point Green Wave (6-1; 3-0) have not sealed their fate as far as the post-season is concerned.

Thanks to clear skies and a lot of hard work, the fall season for youth sports got off to a great start on Monday night, as over a hundred local youths converged on the Parks and Recreation sportsplex to begin the youth soccer season.
As far as fan support goes, Parks Assistant Director Jarrod McDaniel says it was the best turnout he has seen since he's been with the department.
"There were a lot of people," McDaniel said. "As far as crowd participation goes, it was the best I've seen."

Tallgrass Prairie Events at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in September
Butterflies, wildflowers and a restored piece of tallgrass prairie will be the focus of ranger guided walks at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site on Labor Day. Visitors who'd like to give a little back can help with a volunteer project in the park's 81-acre tallgrass prairie on September 24.
"September is one of the most brilliant months in the prairie," said park superintendent Pete Swisher. "It's when flocks of monarch butterflies may be found among yellow goldenrods and purple asters. Our ranger-guided walks and volunteer projects are good opportunities for people to bring their questions about the prairie and the park, and to learn in more detail about our natural and cultural resources."
On Labor Day Monday, September 5 rangers will lead guided walks of the 81-acre tallgrass prairie at the park. Visitors can discover how and why the National Park Service is restoring this endangered habitat as part of the landscape commemorating Herbert Hoover's life. The walk is less than a mile and lasts about one hour.
The walks will start at 9:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and begin at the Gravesite Parking Lot. Participants should bring water, dress for the weather, and wear comfortable walking shoes. Water, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and insect repellent are recommended. Parking is limited so the staff asks those attending to allow extra time to find a parking space.
On Saturday, September 24, Herbert Hoover National Historic Site will participate in National Public Lands Day with a volunteer project in the 81-acre tallgrass prairie.
Volunteers are needed to help remove trees, shrubs, and weeds from the grassland, or with other projects to improve the park landscape.
Volunteers interested in helping on September 24 may contact Adam Prato at (319) 643-7855. Work in the prairie will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Participants should meet at the Visitor Center at 8:30 a.m. for an orientation and to get signed up. A park spokesperson says volunteers should "Dress for the weather and wear comfortable work clothes. Water, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and insect repellent are recommended. Long pants and closed-toe footwear are required."
By the time of Herbert Hoover's birth in 1874, most of the tallgrass prairie in eastern Iowa had already been converted to farmland. The National Park Service began reconstructing the endangered habitat at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in the 1970s.
The deep-rooted native prairie plants help control erosion and runoff in the national park that is the home to Herbert Hoover's birthplace, gravesite, and Presidential Library and Museum. The prairie also provides open space and a natural setting to commemorate Herbert Hoover's contributions conserving public lands. During Hoover's presidency, the size of our national forests expanded by more than two million acres, and the land designated for new national parks and monuments increased by 40 percent.
Herbert Hoover National Historic Site and the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum are in West Branch, Iowa, at exit 254 off I-80. Both are open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time. Information to help plan a visit is available on the park website.
It's nice to see some ecological preservation going on at parks that are largely historical in purpose. Critically endangered systems (like tallgrass prairie) need all the help they can get, and this little patch may not be much more than symbolic (and honoroary), but that in itself is of value.

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has fined ticket agent JTB USA $60,000 for failing to disclose to customers when flights were being operated by a different carrier through a codeshare arrangement.

DOT rules require airlines and ticket agents to disclose to customers before they book a flight if that flight is operated by a different carrier under a codeshare arrangement.

Critical Essay by Louis Kronenberger
In ["All Quiet on the Western Front"] it is the war as, in all its physical horror, it passed before the eyes of a twenty-year-old German private, an intelligent but not unusual boy who, with no preparation, with no fixed principles, was sent away to fight. We are told in a foreword that it is not to be a confession, or an accusation, or an adventure he chronicles, but the tale of a "generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war." They were destroyed because they were cut off from life before they had found a fixed scheme for living….
[The] sense, less of being uprooted than of never possessing roots, is the governing motif of the book, the tragedy that Paul Bäumer and all his fellows...
