October NYRB Classics
The World As I Found ItBy Bruce Duffy
Introduction by David Leavitt
Irreverently trespassing on the turf of history, biography, and philosophy, The World As I Found It re-imagines the lives of three very different men, the philosophers Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
At the center of the book is Wittgenstein, one of the most magnetic philosophers of our time: brilliant, tortured, mercurial, and forging his own solitary path. Playing in counterpoint are his two reluctant mentors: Bertrand Russell, past his philosophical prime yet eager to break new ground as a public intellectual, educational theorist, and sexual adventurer; and G. E. Moore, the great Cambridge don who was devoted to the pleasures of the table and pure thought, until, late in life, he discovered real fulfillment in marriage and fatherhood.
Bruce Duffy's novel depicts times and places as various as Vienna 1900, the trenches of World War I, Bloomsbury, and the colleges of Cambridge, while the complicated main characters appear not only in thought and dispute but in love and despair.
"By turns wicked, melancholy, and rhapsodic, The World As I Found It is an astonishing performance, a kind of intellectual opera in which each abstraction gets its own artist."
—John Leonard, Newsday

The Outward RoomBy Millen Brand
Afterword by Peter Cameron
The Outward Room is a spare, deft novel that traces one woman's path from mental illness to trust, recovery and love.
Harriet Demuth, having suffered a nervous breakdown after her brother's accidental death, has been committed to a mental hospital. Convinced that only she and she alone can refashion her life, Harriet escapes from the hospital, hopping a train by night and riding the rails to New York City. It's the 1930s, the midst of the Great Depression, and initially Harriet is lost among the city's multitudes. She runs out of money and is living an increasingly hard existence when she meets John, a machine-shop worker. Slowly she begins to recover her sense of self and Harriet and John fall in love. The story of that love, told with the lyricism of Virginia Woolf and the realism of Theodore Dreiser, is at the heart of Millen Brand's remarkable novel.
"As devoid of sentimentality as a blizzard, and yet a great love story—a real love story." —Sinclair Lewis

The melody is driven by loud guitars and certainly is from the same school as "She's Country" and "Put You In A Song," both songs written by some of the writers of "Truck Yeah." It's clever from a sense that it rhymes the truck word along with repetitive 'yeah' parts in the song, that breeds instant familiarity and lends itself to what is probably already a staple of Tim McGraw's songs.
"Truck Yeah" may not be a song that says anything that's gonna change one's life but then again, it's a song meant to be nothing more than a part of the soundtrack of a good time, be it at a party or a concert. The swagger of the melody and McGraw's strong delivery of the lyrics makes "Truck Yeah" the hit that it is. The writers crafted an ear worm, McGraw and Byron Gallimore crafted a production that highlights the melody and lyrics and ensures that country radio has been gift wrapped a song guaranteed to bring buzz along with generate healthy sales for Tim McGraw and his new label Big Machine Records.

With the transfer window finally closed, here's a quick recap of our new signings:
Clint Dempsey: Scoring an impressive 23 goals for mid-table Fulham last year, the American will bring some versatility that Spurs need. He's not the striker we need, but he can play multiple positions. And at the price we bought him for (6 million pounds), it's a great deal, especially stealing him away from Liverpool at the end of the deadline.
Mousa Dembele: His dribbling ability matched with his strength makes him an absolute force in the midfield. And being a former striker, we could use his skills up front as light as we are there. He is the one player Spurs went directly after, paying the 15 million pound buyout to Fulham.
Hugo Lloris: A great mix of youth and experience teamed with his mobility makes this the best possible keeper Spurs could have gone after. The price was right, but it's also bittersweet for it seems like the end is near for Brad Friedel.
Other signees this period that I have previously mentioned include Emmanuel Adebayor, Jan Vertonghen, and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

NEWPORT, VT — Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross held a listening session and talked with local farmers about agriculture issues. The two-hour session Dec. 3 was part of a series of meetings, the Secretary has been holding around the state.
Ross had met with U.S. Senator Pat Leahy shortly before, and he told the local farmers that the farm bill is in better shape than it was a few months ago. It passed the Senate some time ago, but more recently a version has passed the House and now is in a conference committee. "The biggest battle is not dairy. It's SNAP," he said, referring to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. [Read more…]

Feb. 9, 2014 CARROLTON, Ga. – The Jaguar Baseball team cleaned up at West Georgia to win the series 2-1 with a 6-1 game-three final over the Wolves led by GRU Augusta freshman Frank Warren's productive seven innings pitched
Bradley Dennis doubled to left center for the Jaguars (3-3) in his first at bat and Reydel Gonzalez singled back up the middle for an easy 1-0 lead. The Wolves (3-4) tied it with one run off GRU lefty-handed starter Frank Warren. It was the only one Warren would allow as the Jags' bats came alive and their starter settled in.

Warren (1-0) tossed 7.0 innings in his second start and allowed four hits for one. Tyler Brown pitched two innings of relief work to match his two hits allowed with two strikeouts.

After all the snarking we did last weekend about the weather at SanYo, we decided to ride there today. Sunny skies, low to mid-40's temps, and........LOTS of snow left over from the storm that hit after we left on Sunday.
A shot from my bike leaving the parking lot -
That did not deter the hardcore ADV NMTA guys. Mainly 'cause we simply are not that smart. Case in point - Gordy riding over a solid ice patch, and lovin' every minute of it -
Nice, you clown!!
The snow was melted from the sandstone surfaces, but still clinging to the dirt. I took this shot to try to show the differences in the rock and the amount of snow in the background. Ansel Adams I'm not, but you get the idea.

The Bachelorette
Season 8 Bachelorette Emily Maynard: What You Need to Know About Her
If you don't know Miss Emily Maynard, then you best pull back that quilt of blissful ignorance and crawl out of your little hidey-hole of shame. Not REALLY. But, if you DO need a little memory jog on the beautiful southern belle, that's what we're here for, friends! Since it's pretty much a done deal that Em WILL be the one handing out roses on Season 8 of The Bachelorette, here are a few things you should know:
These are the people she dated. (We have to look back to move forward, right?)
The Full Story: Emily's Heartbreaking Past
FULL INTERVIEW: Emily Maynard Discusses Her Breakup With Brad Womack
What's the most romantic city in the United States? To Emily, it's Aspen, Colorado. "As much as I love hot weather, Aspen is very romantic to me because after being outside all day you can sit in front of the fire."
Most romantic book? Gone with the Wind.
If stranded on a desert island, Emily would bring these three things:
Radio: I love music.
Sunscreen: No wrinkles!
Diet Coke: I drink way too many but can't get through the day without it!
She has two tattoos — one on her wrist and another behind her ear (ouch!). She's also rumored to have had breast implants. Someone named "Sutton" commented on a Hollywood Gossip story on Emily, writing, "Emily was my roommate freshmen year of high school - she is a sweet down to earth girl who deserves nothing but the best. She has gotten a breast augmentation but would never pose in Playboy - he daughter is her life and she would never do anything that would hurt that little girl. I hope she finds true love - no one deserves it more than Em."
Where does she spend time by herself? "I love putting on a baseball hat and going to the movies in my pajamas. Other that that, in my bed because I love to sleep."
More than anything, she's passionate about her faith. When asked for her motto, she said John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
She won't put up with a disrespectful man. When asked about her worst date, Emily said, "Well, I went out with a guy that I thought was a gentleman, but he was completely rude to the waitress. I felt so bad I went back to apologize and gave her a bigger tip just for putting up with him." Asked for deal-breaker traits, she said, "Obviously I wouldn't go out with someone who was disrespectful, but also I'd say no to someone who had nothing to say. Nothing is worse than an awkward silence."
What three words would describe her ideal partner? "Funny, laid back, and modest."
What three words would she use to describe herself? "Free spirit, real, and honest."

A major impetus for a new edition of this book was the opportunity to expand it somewhat beyond the page limits of the earlier series on Applied Social Research Methods, for which it was originally written. However, many readers of the previous editions have said that they appreciated the conciseness of the book, so I didn't want to lose this virtue. Consequently, much of the new material in this edition consists of additional examples of my students' work, including a second example of a dissertation proposal (Appendix B).
Another impetus has been the ongoing development of qualitative research1, with a flourishing of new approaches, including arts-based approaches, to how it is conducted and presented. I haven't attempted to deal comprehensively with these, which would have ballooned the book well past what I felt was an appropriate length, as well as taking it beyond an introductory level. If you want to investigate these developments, the SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research (Given, 2008), the SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research, 4th edition (Denzin & Lincoln, 2011) and the journal Qualitative Inquiry are good places to start. I've tried to indicate, in Chapters 1 and 3, how I see my approach to design as compatible with some of these developments, in particular with aspects of postmodernism and with the approach known as bricolage, and I have substantially rewritten and expanded my discussion of research paradigms, in Chapter 2.
However, I am also sceptical of some of these developments, particularly those that adopt a radical constructivist and relativist stance that denies the existence of any "reality" that our research attempts to understand, and that rejects any conception of "validity" (or related terms) that addresses the relationship between our research conclusions and the phenomena that we study. While I am enough of a postmodernist to believe that every theory and conclusion is our own construction, with no claim to "objective" or absolute truth, and argue in Chapter 2 that no theory can capture the full complexity of the things we study, I refuse to abandon the goal of gaining a better understanding of the physical, social, and cultural world in which we live, or the possibility of developing credible explanations for these phenomena.
This position is grounded in my third impetus for revising this book: my increasing awareness of how my own perspective on qualitative research has been informed by a philosophical realism about the things we study. I have developed this perspective at length in my book A Realist Approach for Qualitative Research (2011), arguing that the "critical realist" position I have taken is not only compatible with most qualitative researchers' actual practices, but can be valuable in helping researchers with some difficult theoretical, methodological, and political issues that they face. However, I offer this as a useful perspective among other perspectives, not as the single correct paradigm for qualitative research. As the writing teacher Peter Elbow (1973, 2006) argued, it is important to play both the "believing game" and the "doubting game" with any theory or position you encounter, trying to see both its advantages and its distortions or blind spots. For this reason, I want the present book to be of practical value to students and researchers who hold a variety of positions on these issues. The model of qualitative research design that I develop here is compatible with a range of philosophical perspectives, and I believe it is broadly applicable to most qualitative research.
My greater awareness of the implications of a critical realist stance have led me to revise or expand other parts of the book—in particular, the discussion of theory in Chapter 3; developing (and revising) research questions in Chapter 4; research relationships and ethics, developing interview questions, and data analysis, in Chapter 5; the concept of validity in Chapter 6; and the appropriate functions and content of a literature review in a research proposal, in Chapter 7. I've also continued to compulsively tinker with the language of the book, striving to make what I say clearer. I would be grateful for any feedback you can give me on how the book could be made more useful to you.
Finally, I realized in revising this work that I had said almost nothing explicitly about how I define qualitative research—what I see as most essential about a qualitative approach. I say more about this in Chapter 2. However, a brief definition would be that qualitative research is research that is intended to help you better understand 1) the meanings and perspectives of the people you study—seeing the world from their point of view, rather than simply from your own; 2) how these perspectives are shaped by, and shape, their physical, social, and cultural contexts; and 3) the specific processes that are involved in maintaining or altering these phenomena and relationships. All three of these aspects of qualitative research, but particularly the last one, contrast with most quantitative approaches to research, which are based on seeing the phenomena studied in terms of variables—properties of things that can vary, and can thus be measured and compared across contexts. I see most of the more obvious aspects of qualitative research—its inductive, open-ended approach, its reliance on textual or visual rather than numerical data, its primary goal of particular understanding rather than generalization across persons and settings—as due to these three main features of qualitative inquiry. (For a more detailed discussion of these issues, see Maxwell, 2011b.)
1. Some qualitative practitioners prefer the term "inquiry" to "research," seeing the latter as too closely associated with a quantitative or positivist approach. I agree with their concerns (see Maxwell, 2004a, b), and I understand that some types of qualitative inquiry are more humanistic than scientific, but I prefer to argue for a broader definition of "research" that includes a range of qualitative approaches.

Everyday Business | One year later, Pybus still full of surprises
There are lots of good reasons to celebrate Pybus Public Market's 1-year anniversary today. The fact that the place is big, beautiful and a bang-up success are some of the more obvious ones.
What we like best about Pybus, though, are the surprises. One day we wander around and think we've seen everything. But the next day — yikes! — there's a completely unexpected basket of fully ripened California black figs. And those bad boys are calling our name.
OK, we're first to admit that our chief joy at Pybus is the food — both on menus and on the shelves. So let's take a look at some of the yummy, random surprises we found just last Wednesday on a one-hour stroll through the shops:
Quail eggs: Holy cheepers! Not only are these the perfect casings for bird embryos, but a 12-pack of the speckle-shelled wonders is a work of art, something you'd like to hang on a wall if you didn't have to keep it refrigerated. These beauties ($5.29 a dozen) come from Begin Homestead in Cashmere and sit on a shelf right above huge honkin' duck and turkey eggs from Magler Farms of Quincy. Find them all at the Wenatchee Valley Farmers Market's Country Store.
Dragon fruit: Aliens walk among us, and the proof is in this exotic fruit. These red, ovoid pods (called "pitaya" in Asia, where they're grown) have green shoots that reach toward the stars (see? aliens). They're actually, go figure, the fruit of cacti. Cut one open to discover a whitish, seed-dotted flesh that's somewhat sweet, slightly juicy and very refreshing ($5.99 each). Find them at Auvil's Select Fruit.
Yakima Smoked Salt: You're thinking the whole gourmet salt fad has run its course and, jeez, isn't salt just salt? Well, before you commit to a lifetime of Morton's Iodized, grab a jar ($11.50 for 3.7 ounces) of this stunning concoction — high-grade sea salt actually smoked over Yakima apple wood. The taste and texture are amazing and, yes, the apple-wood smokiness is distinct and flavorful. There's even a sheet of recipes you can grab. Find it at Apple Blossom Roasted Nuts & Fine Foods.
Coratina Gran Cru Extra Virgin Olive Oil: We're not olive oil snobs, but this batch (the first this year from Italy) had us reaching quickly for a chunk of soppin' bread. The Galatino family, who grow olives exclusively on an estate called La Fenice Coppa Malva (which we think translates into "not for french fries"), hand-pick their crop and have very limited production. The oil ($16.95 for 375 ml) is described as having "floral and herbaceous notes trending towards green apples." Don't know about that, but it sure is tasty. Find it at D'Olivo.
Dyson Airblade: This isn't a food, and it's not exclusive to the Pybus Market, but every restroom there has one of these fun gizmos. It's simply the best blown-air hand dryer on the market — the only such machine that doesn't make you wish you had a wad of paper towels to finish the drying job. The Airblade's blast of air is strong enough to actually rake water off your hand and dry it in about 10 seconds. Ingenious.
Coffee's strong, but what about the housing market?
Ready for some bacon and eggs with a side order of real estate?
Yes? Then you're ready for the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce's annual 2014 Real Estate Outlook, a breakfast-time overview of the local housing market. It's an informal look at local economic indicators, housing prices and building trends from a panel of commercial and residential real estate agents.
On second thought, it's not THAT informal. You'll need to change out of your Spider-Man pajamas.
The "Wake Up, Wenatchee: Real Estate Outlook" is set for 7:30 a.m. May 22 at the Red Lion, 1225 N. Wenatchee Ave. Cost is $14 for pre-registered Chamber members and $16 at the door and for non-members. Breakfast buffet is included.

Bye-Bye BPA? It Could Happen Within Weeks
Faced with a growing list of lawsuits from consumer-protection, health, and environmental groups, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to announce its decision to continue to allow—or ban—the use of bisphenol A, or BPA, from food packaging.
Chemical manufacturers produce about 3 million tons of BPA annually, a startling amount when you consider that consumption of even miniscule amounts has been shown to alter heart rhythm. Small doses are also suspected of causing infertility, type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain cancers, and behavioral problems, among other ills.
You won't find BPA on the label, but it's used in the epoxy liner of almost all metal cans containing canned foods and canned baby formulas, as well as in cash-register receipts, vinyl shower curtains, and some No. 7 plastics. Because its use is so widespread, scientists have now detected the industrial chemical in our air, water, sand, and even the cord blood of nine out of 10 newborns.
Read More: Major Soup Maker Vows to Take BPA Out of Cans
Environmental Working Group (EWG), the organization that released a 2007 study showing BPA migrates from those liners and into food and drink, said FDA is expected to announce its decision by March 31. Another 2007 EWG report found that one in 16 formula-fed infants were exposed to toxic levels of BPA, something other studies suggest could permanently alter the children's hormonal health and lead to diseases years down the road. "FDA is the only agency with the power to protect consumers from being exposed to BPA from the food they eat," says Sonya Lunder, senior research analyst for EWG. "Let's hope the agency's upcoming decision will keep the public's health at the forefront."
So how can such a harmful substance be legal?
The first important thing to understand is that the current regulatory system in place for testing chemicals focuses on high doses, and the way chemicals are currently tested can't predictably indicate whether human exposures are safe, says BPA expert Laura Vandenberg, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow of biology at the Center for Developmental and Regenerative Biology at Tufts University in Massachusetts.

"Currently, chemicals are tested at extremely high levels—at doses that humans would never encounter. Researchers then calculate downward to a dose they predict should be safe," explains Vandenberg. "But that 'safe' dose is never tested! And because these chemicals have effects at low doses that they do not have at high doses, there is no way to 'calculate' a safe dose."
Vandenberg adds that there's no safe dose when it comes to endocrine-disrupting chemicals that act like hormones. Because hormones act at extremely small concentrations—think of a drop of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool—even small changes in hormone actions can have drastic effects," she adds.

Cabinet urged press institutions especially the national ones to be more accurate in reports concerning the economy to avoid confusion and frustration at the current stage.
In a press release on Monday 3/2/2014, the Cabinet said that an article by head of a national press institution has claimed that Arab aid to Egypt have reached 15.9 billion dollars but the truth is that the aid stood only at 10.93 billion dollars.
The statement added that the article said the government used about 60 billion pounds from frozen deposits in the Central Bank to finance extra spending of the general budget but the truth is that these deposits were added to the Central Bank's cash reserve.
The statement said that Egypt's foreign debts have not exceeded 45.8 billion dollars since December 2013 as claimed in the article.

Club sponsored events are considered "independent activities" and are not covered by any existing campus insurance policy. Unless insurance is purchased by the club for a specified activity or event there is no coverage.
The University is self-insured for general liability insurance and has a self-insured retention (SIR) of $100,000.00. Anything below the campus SIR level is not covered by insurance.
For events held off campus, unless insurance is purchased by the club for a particular activity or event there is no coverage.
On-Campus Events : Special event insurance can be purchased for on-campus events. When planning an event on campus first check with the OSL for approval of the event. OSL can also determine for you the availability of the location you wish to use and to reserve the location. If an event is considered to be high risk it will likely not be approved. If an event is open to attendance by the general public (non-Cal Poly Pomona students) in most cases special event insurance must be purchased by the club.
Off Campus Events : Special event insurance can be purchased for off-campus events also. If a club hosts an event or activity at an off-campus site the location will likely request that you provide a Certificate of Insurance as specified in a contract or agreement to lease the site. The location may offer a special event insurance policy you can purchase that meets their lease insurance requirements.
Where to purchase insurance : If your club belongs to a National Organization check with that organization about the availability of coverage or ask if they can provide a quote to purchase insurance. A local insurance agency can also be contacted for a quote. Risk Management is not in the business of selling insurance, but in most instances we can assist by providing a quote for coverage.
When purchasing insurance coverage for an on-campus event please refer to the Risk Management Website- Special Event Insurance at http://www.cpp.edu/~rms/special_event.htm for general information, additional insured and coverage requirements.
In keeping with Chancellor's Office Executive Order 1041- Students participating in CSU affiliated programs who are traveling by air flight or charter bus/ground transportation (seating more than 15) are on notice that:
The CSURMA provides enrolled students of the CSU with:
When a club members or a member of the public has chosen to participate in a club sponsored activity or event (on or off campus) where there is a risk of injury. The participant should be made aware of any known or foreseeable risks of participation and possible outcomes. If the participant is a minor, under age 18, the Release must be signed by a parent or guardian.
The Release of Liability, Promise Not to Sue, Assumption of Risk and Agreement to Pay Claims form is available on the Risk Management website at http://www.cpp.edu/~rms/pdf/activity-release.pdf.
Does a separate Release of Liability need to be signed for each activity/event?
Yes. The Release must identify/describe the activity and provide event date(s) and time(s).
If there are special considerations or information that the individual should be made aware of prior to deciding to be a participant those risks should be identified in writing.
Who should be asked to sign the Release of Liability form?
Any participant (student or non-student) who chooses to take part in an event or activity where there is risk of injury.
A class field trip is considered to be an out-of-classroom, off-campus trip intended to achieve the learning objectives of the academic course. Those attending are the Cal Poly Pomona faculty or staff member and students who are enrolled in the class. If the fieldtrip site is a public location anyone can go to that location, but only those enrolled in the academic course are participants in the fieldtrip.
If the injury requires emergency medical treatment call 9-1-1 from a campus phone or (909) 869-3070 from your cell phone. This will put you in contact with the campus police dispatcher. A police officer will be sent to the location to assess the situation. Medic One is located on campus and if needed can be dispatched to respond. After handling the emergency notify Risk Management by calling (909)869-4846.
Notify Campus Police by calling 9-1-1 from a campus phone or (909)869-3070 from your cell phone so that a Police Report can be taken. Also notify Risk Management by calling (909)869-4846.

|Sports Performance Program
Mission: To close the gap between athletic potential and performance
Location: Our Sports Performance Programs are based at the Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Lab, respectfully known as the K-Lab, which is located in the Finch Yeager Building at Duke Sports Medicine. For each athlete, our staff selects assessments that are sport-specific, position-specific, and goal-specific. Assessments may include VO2-max and lactate threshold, and/or various tests of agility, speed, power, strength, stamina, flexibility and body composition. We apply the data to optimize each athletes training and performance.
Sports Performance Instructional Video
Dynamic Warm-Up DVD from the Duke Sports Performance Program in the K-Lab
Many athletes and coaches believe that warm-up and stretching are one and the same. The Dynamic Warm-up is designed to enhance balance, strength, coordination, agility, power, and flexibility in short, enhancing athletic performance by preparing the athletes body for the demands of a workout or practice. It only takes 15-20 minutes to do the Dynamic Warm-up. Thats a small investment that can pay big dividends.
Research has shown that warming up prior to athletic competition can help to prevent injuries, keeping athletes on the field.

My Bondage and My Freedom is an autobiographical slave narrative written by Frederick Douglass and published in 1855. It is the second of three autobiographies written by Douglass, and is mainly an expansion of his first (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass), discussing in greater detail his transition from bondage to liberty. Douglass, a former slave, following his liberation went on to become a prominent abolitionist, speaker, author, and publisher. As his narrative unfolds, Frederick Douglass-abolitionist, journalist, orator, and one of the most powerful voices to emerge from the American civil rights movement-transforms himself from slave to fugitive to reformer, leaving behind a legacy of social, intellectual, and political thought.
130,250 words, with a reading time of ~ 7.9 hours (~ 521 pages), and first published in 1855. This DRM-Free edition published by epubBooks, 2010.
There are currently no other reviews for this book.
In Talbot county, Eastern Shore, Maryland, near Easton, the county town of that county, there is a small district of country, thinly populated, and remarkable for nothing that I know of more than for the worn–out, sandy, desert–like appearance of its soil, the general dilapidation of its farms and fences, the indigent and spiritless character of its inhabitants, and the prevalence of ague and fever.
The name of this singularly unpromising and truly famine stricken district is Tuckahoe, a name well known to all Marylanders, black and white. It was given to this section of country probably, at the first, merely in derision; or it may possibly have been applied to it, as I have heard, because some one of its earlier inhabitants had been guilty of the petty meanness of stealing a hoe—or taking a hoe that did not belong to him. Eastern Shore men usually pronounce the word took, as tuck; Took–a–hoe, therefore, is, in Maryland parlance, Tuckahoe. But, whatever may have been its origin—and about this I will not be positive—that name has stuck to the district in question; and it is seldom mentioned but with contempt and derision, on account of the barrenness of its soil, and the ignorance, indolence, and poverty of its people. Decay and ruin are everywhere visible, and the thin population of the place would have quitted it long ago, but for the Choptank river, which runs through it, from which they take abundance of shad and herring, and plenty of ague and fever.
It was in this dull, flat, and unthrifty district, or neighborhood, surrounded by a white population of the lowest order, indolent and drunken to a proverb, and among slaves, who seemed to ask, "Oh! what's the use?" every time they lifted a hoe, that I—without any fault of mine was born, and spent the first years of my childhood.

Defendants moved for reconsideration. Likening the proposed production to "a plane with landing gear that deploys just after touchdown, or a stick of dynamite with a unique fuse that ignites only after it explodes," the court denied the motion.

text: Zetsu is a missing-nin from the Hidden Grass Village and currently serves as a spy and cleanup crew for the Akatsuki organization. He disposes of bodies not meant to be found (he eats them, he's a cannibal) and acts as a lookout a lot. His position in Akatsuki is unclear, since other members sometimes talk to him as if he's a higher ranked Akatsuki member. He has a giant Venus Flytrap around his head and shoulders, but what this exactly is and does is unknown. It could be a summon, or some kind of parasite. We also hear Zetsu talking to himself a lot, he seems to have a split personality. And since his face is half black, and half white on the other side, this is probably the case. He has his Akatasuki ring (boar) on his right little finger and first appears in Naruto watching the fight between Naruto and Sasuke. Much else isn't known about Zetsu, he remains a mysterious Akatsuki member.

The outside world looks on with a mixture of admiration and astonishment at Japanese corporate management practice. The admiration comes from the vision and determination of conglomerates like Honda or Toyota to innovate and expand.
In the airline business, All Nippon Airways, is, under the guidance of surefooted chairman Yoji Ohashi, pursuing a sound strategy. It was recently even confident enough to raise its operating profit forecast to ・78.5 billion ($671 million) for the year ending 31 March 2006.
Now for the astonishment: what is happening at Japan Airlines (JAL)? With less than a year under his belt at the helm of JAL, chief executive Toshiyuki Shinmachi has faced a call to resign by four our of the carrier's top 15 directors and 50 senior managers. The incredible development, which came in the form of a petition, also called for fellow senior directors Katsuo Haneda and Hidekazu Nishizuka to step aside too.
It is reported that the unnamed directors asked for the resignations "in a bid to renew management" amid JAL's poor financial performance and stuttering market reputation. The call has been flatly rejected by Shinmachi and his fellow directors. In a statement Shinmachi said: "Their behaviour undermines public trust at a time when JAL Group must join hands and hearts to meet the two urgent management challenges. At the same time, I apologise sincerely to all the stakeholders."
The reasons for JAL's woes are analysed in depth in the March issue of Airline Business by our Asia-Pacific editor Nicholas Ionides. And the carrier is adamant that the measures it is taking, and more to come in its eagerly awaited new business plan, will enable it to turn the corner.
However, this latest move illustrates how deep the internal misgivings run about JAL's strategy. No doubt the upstarts wanted action, and fast. Their petition might result in another management change at JAL, although Shinmachi appears determined to fight on.
Whichever faction wins out, it is a telling sign of underlying trouble that a carrier of the stature of JAL is in a major fix. And with greater competition on the horizon as airport capacity opens up in Japan the repair crews need to redouble their efforts to shore up JAL's stressed balance sheet and its dented market image.

Rifle: No. 3 WVU Defeats No. 12 Nebraska
MORGANTOWN, W.VA. - The No.3-ranked West Virginia rifle team defeated No. 12 Nebraska, 4667-4610, today at the NU Rifle Range, in Lincoln, Neb.
The Mountaineers (2-0, 1-0 GARC) topped the Huskers (0-2, 0-1 GARC) in both guns, winning air rifle, 2354-2325, and smallbore, 2313-2285.
Seniors Justin Pentz and Michael Kulbacki, junior Petra Zublasing, redshirt-freshman Thomas Kyanko and freshman Taylor Ciotola combined for the team's scores.
"Petra was the highlight, but there were a lot of good performances in there," says coach Jon Hammond. "Overall it was a good, steady start to the season. Hopefully we will shoot higher scores in the future, but it's nice to get the season under way."
Zublasing finished first overall with a combined score of 1183. The Appiano, Italy, native also finished first in both guns, shooting 587 smallbore (198 prone, 196 standing, 193 kneeling) and 596 air rifle (100,100, 99, 99,100, 98).
Kyanko finished second overall with a score of 1171, followed by freshman Meelis Kiisk with an overall score of 1159. Pentz finished fourth with a score of 1156, and Ciotola and Kulbacki tied with the Huskers' Janine Dutton for fifth with scores of 1151.
Kyanko also finished second in air rifle with a score of 590. Kulbacki took third place (587) and Kiisk placed sixth (583), as Nebraska's Dutton and Sheena Mahloch (584) finished in fourth place. Pentz and Ciotola tied with the Huskers' Kelsey Hansen for seventh with 581.
"We had a personal best from Thomas in air rifle, and Meelis had a personal best in smallbore," says Hammond.
Kyanko's 581 smallbore score earned him second place, while Nebraska's Katelyn Woltersdorf paced the Huskers with a score of 580. Kiisk's score (576) was good enough for fourth place, and Pentz finished fifth (575).
Today's match improves the Mountaineers to a 7-3 all-time record against the Huskers. The victory is WVU's first Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) win of the season season; the Mountaineers are the two-time defending conference champions.
Hammond's squad will open its home season against No. 7 Army at the WVU Rifle Range on Oct. 22. The match will start at 8 a.m.

1/4 cup

I have made this with chopped prunes, raisins, and walnuts in place of dates and have always turned out great...love the chewy-ness to this cookie THANKS
These were not so good. I substituted Frosted Flakes for the corn flakes, which I assumed would be OK. My cookies came out very very crumbly (probably didn't roll them into tight enough balls)and they had little flavor.
9 Ratings
I thought these had an interesting texture. I made them for my husband to take to work and he came home with no cookies and many requests for the recipe.
We didn't like these cookies--very bland. I made them for a couple of children with dairy/egg allergies. I didn't end up giving them to them. They were easy to make and turned out fine, but my husband and I thought they were quite flavorless. And we made them with a bit extra cocoa and some extra sugar. Even with that, they were not chocolately at all, not sweet (and my husband doesn't like things that are too sweet, but he didn't like these), and pretty flavorless.. There's a faint date flavor with a faint chocolate flavor and the chewiness of the corn flakes was not really appealing to my husband. (They're not crunchy--there's just some bites with a chewiness to them.) They could use more cocoa, more sugar, some salt? They aren't even a healthy cookie because of all that shortening. Big disappointment for our particular taste buds.
I have had these cookies before and they were drizzled with chocolate glaze to give a little more sweetness, very popular in New Zealand that way. I like them, they have a good tin life.
Somewhat unappealing. Chewy yes, chocolaty sure, but not really what I'm looking for in a cookie. The chewy cornflakes threw me off a bit.

Roll back on Boer bucks
|By pinoyfarmer | March 7, 2011
Roll back on Boer bucks
One piece of good news we just learned is that the major breeders of Boer goats have rolled back their prices on purebred bucks in an attempt to encourage the use of purebred animals to improve the body size and meat quality of the existing native and other imported breeds in the country.
Rene Almeda of Alaminos Goat Farm in Alaminos, Laguna, had just informed us while we were preparing this page that he had decided to reduce the price of purebred Boer bucks. What used to sell for P24,000 to P30,000 per head has been reduced by half, from P12,000 to P15,000 per head. And the other good news, he said, is that another competitor has followed suit.
He said, however, that the purebred female Boer goats are still priced at P24,000 per head.
The move to reduce the prices of purebred Boer goats is hoped to enable more goat raisers to use purebreds to upgrade their stocks. The government could then buy locally bred purebred animals instead of importing from abroad what it needs in its goat improvement program. It is very essential that purebreds should be used to improve the local animals. If a buck of mixed blood is used, the resulting progenies may not be as uniform as when a purebred animal is used.
What is needed now is to improve the weight of animals for slaughter so that the raisers will be able to increase their incomes from their animals. The native goats usually weigh an average of 18 kilos at slaughter time. If the animals could be improved to 30 to 50 kilos at maturity, the income could be doubled. At present, the live weight price of slaughter goats is P120 per kilo. And so the going average price per head is just about P2,400 to P2,800.
Almeda says that it has been proven that the Boer goat will greatly improve the size and meat quality of the offspring of the native and other breeds now raised by local farmers. In Australia, he said, theBoer goat was used to sire the feral goats there and now that country is the biggest exporter of goat's meat to the United States.

This is an annual subscription product, with regular updates throughout the year.
Products´ quality problem, especially pesticide residue problem, has been existing in China for a long time. This situation didn´t change in 2012. In the eye of the public, pesticides still play an inglorious role.
A report released by Greenpeace in April 2012 said that tea products made by top Chinese companies contain residues of banned pesticides, which shocked the public. Later in 2012, paper bags containing pesticides, mainly fungicides, were reported to be used for fruit bagging, angering the public again.
However, pesticides should not be criticized so much. In 2012, China´s grain production recorded a new high, which could not be achieved without pesticides. China need to produce more grain

A typical turkish grill - simple menu, quality ingredients, well cooked.
A cafe rather than a restaurant, attentive staff and one cannot argue about value for money.
To our suprise the Corner Restaurant has now become the Kalkan Kebab! This was the place we visited most on our recent holiday in June. Excellent value for money, not a bad meal in many visits. Seemed to be a good mix of locals and holidaymakers. Service was sometime slow but who's in a hurry? Free nibbles inlcuded ballon bread...
A party of 8, we were sat and our orders taken quickly and the food arrived within a reasonable time. However, the food was not very good, main complaint was that the meat was dry and the overwhelming taste of lemon?. We took home a large "doggy bag" which the dogs did enjoy.
Ended up across the road at Chillies...
We ate here this week. The name has changed to Kalkan Kebab and there are new owners. The food was ok but they loaded the bill and attempted to rip us off. It was very simple arithmetic so it was done on purpose. If you go ( but dont ) check your bill
Just down from Hunkar, Corner restaurant has remodelled itself as a Turkish grill place & renamed as above. Hunkar is a real big earner restaurant with traditional Turkish food at a great price, so I'm not surprised somebody else hasn't copied the business model.... Until now.
Full of Brits & locals, the place was very busy & really warm welcome...
Visited the Corner Restaurant on the strength of the Tripadvisor reviews but not sure why so many people rave about it. Our party had various dishes yet all had dishes were too heavily covered in butter, leaving a very heavy taste. Friendly enough service, but with so many other restaurants, we found better. Would rate as OK, but nothing more.
The food overall was good even though we struggled to explain dietary requirements. Not the best steaks in town, but the lamb with apricots main dish was excellent and the place was clean, although had to move away from the road due to ants invading the table. The electricity kept going off and at one point we were eating meals...
Great food, good service and reasonable prices. We all had fillet steaks with different sauces and everybody enjoyed theirs. There was high chairs for the children who were very welcome.
We had our meal at the Corner last night and God we were both disappointed.
On our 1st visit there in June we enjoyed our meal and friendly atmosphere, hence why we went back this time.

One day in 2007, Tim Sommers was fooling around on his keyboard when he came up with a poignant, dramatic chord progression.
Sommers and his friend, rapper Jeremy Dussolliet, sat in Sommers' college dorm room and worked through a melody and a few lyrics for the tune: "Can we pretend that airplanes / in the night sky / are like shooting stars? / I could really use a wish right now."

- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line 3 x 20cm cake tins with baking parchment. Tip all the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Divide between tins and bake for 25 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean. Turn out onto wire racks to cool.
- Split each cake in half. Mash the jam and raspberries together, then spread over 5 cake halves, leaving 1 top half free. Sandwich together, with the plain cake on top. Put on a plate and cling film thoroughly. Invert a cake tin on top like a hat and top with 3 x 400g food cans. Leave overnight.
- To finish, beat the butter, cheese and icing sugar together, then spread over the cake. Decorate with extra raspberries and a dusting of icing sugar, if you like.

Comments, questions and tips
The flavours in this are awesome. Based on other comments, I tried the Classic Victoria sponge recipe and then added the honey & spices. A lovely light, moist, perfectly textured result. Layered the buttercream and jam alternately.
To 'health' it up I used light buttermilk spread instead of butter, half xylitol and half golden caster and skimmed milk. Worked really well.
I took this down to a three egg ratio, which resulted in a cake that was plenty for 8 people. Used the creaming method after reading comments above, and it came out nice and light. Took me ages to do the calculations though,so here you go:
150g butter
270g plain flour
84g of each sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 tbsp honey
1.2 tsp BP
0.6 tsp cinnamon,mixed spice
0.3 tsp cloves, ginger
Pinch salt
2.4 tbsp buttermilk
120g rasp jam,rasps, butter, soft cheese,icing sugar
Really disappointed. I was wary of the 'put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix' method, but decided to go with the recipe. Wish I'd gone with my instincts, as the sponges turned out really dense - I had to have three layers as there was no hope of splitting them into six. Nice enough flavour, but ruined by the consistency. If I make again I'll definitely go with a creaming method instead.
To say I do a lot of baking I thought I'd give this a go. I followed the recipe to a tee. The sponges were dense and did not rise. Great flavours but I think it would be better to use the creaming method as this would probably make the sponge lighter. Great looking cake but would not make this again.
I made this cake for my husbands birthday as it looked impressive. My cakes did not rise and were a little dense. I think the all-in-one method may not suit this cake as there are too many ingredients. My raspberry sauce was very runny and so ran down the sides of the cake. As the sponges didn't rise I couldn't cut them in half. I was a little apprehensive when I served it but am pleased to say the family all liked it. It is a strange combination of flavours that works really well very reminiscent of mulled wine. I'm not sure that I would bother to cook it again but if I did I would try a creaming method for the sponges.
An excellent cake. Just finishing making my second one for a garden event. I made the first one for Easter and it went down a storm. The sponge is moist and tender with delicate spicing and the raspberry filling and icing really complement the flavours really well. It serves well over 12 people though, as it is rather rich.
Absolutely delicious. The flavours are unusual with the spicy cake, tangy fruit and sweet icing - makes a great cake for a special occasion, it is really interesting. Everyone was asking me for the recipe! And SO easy to make.
Because it uses an all-in-one method the cake is quite heavy and dense HOWEVER don't let this put you off, it only adds to the unusual taste. It is meant to be this way. If you look closely at the picture you can see the cake has not risen much when you look at the scale of the cake compared with the person in the background. This method makes a very moist and easy-to-make cake.
FABULOUS! Just making my second as a birthday cake. first one last week and it went down a storm. I substituted buttermilk with half creme fraiche and half milk-deliciously moist, very tasty, very easy and has the WOW factor once decorated up-I added pansies, and a few other bits to jazz up. I also missed out the cinnamon-due to none in cupboard! I will definately make this again as its so easy and tasty compared to how lovely it looks! Nice one Sarah Cook!
Think this looks lovely and makes a good centre-piece. I am obliged to cut down a bit though! - so did reduce the layers and honey, I'm afraid and it may be my fault that I agree it was slightly drier than I would have expected - but it was a tasty sponge and we enjoyed the mix of spice, cream cheese frosting and raspberries. Thumbs up!

Giant Ten Chi head for world's strangest toilet experienceWritten by: Tadashi Anahori on February 12, 2013 at 12:19 am | In Erotic Japan Blog | Discuss »
Imagine you are out in Shinjuku for some shopping and food.
You need the ladies' room so you head to the nearest facility.
And then up ahead of you in the small cubicle, a floor-to-ceiling-sized giant head called "Ten Chi" starts to move towards you!
Yes, this is ordinarily the stuff of nightmares — only it actually existed, at the Seiryumon Taiwanese restaurant in Shinjuku.
Here's a video giving you some idea of the experience that awaited intrepid lavatory visitors.
Sadly the restaurant closed in 2008 so now you can't pee while being crushed by a giant head.
This is what the men's was like…

I was living in a mountain town & working as the local librarian there. The dream has nothing to do with that job, but it was part of the situation.

Dragonfly Quilt >The Wings
Dragonfly with Wings
It took a long time to outline all the veins on the wings. Can't say I'm a huge fan of applique, although I don't regret trying it. The wings are made of a three-layer sandwich of organdy with black crinoline over the top, then a layer of water-soluble stablizer.
That last layer didn't come off as easily as the instructions led me to expect, but the water solubility made up for the difference. It was pretty easy to wash away the residue with a brand new sponge, although I did worry that the backing would shrink and leave the crinoline all puffy on the surface. Doesn't seem to be happening after the wings have mostly dried, after a quick pressing of the organdy backing. The wings are just lying in place in the photo, as I want them completely dry before I sew them down.
I'm a lot less happy with the lotus in person than in the photo. I positioned it farther down the panel than the instructions call for, and it's off-center because of how it has to work with the lillypad. All that is OK by me, but the spacing between the petals doesn't please me that much. It might look better once the petals are appliqued down, as they will be soon. I might use some color thread instead of the white I have to jazz up the look a bit.

Good Dog Products, Inc.
We do the dirty work for you!
You have found;
"A grassy oasis for your Pooch to Pee or Poop on without waiting for you"
You are probably looking for way to make your life easier and at the same time allow you the pleasure of owning a dog. Well, that is our goal, and we have the products available to make life better for both you and your dog when it comes to the "Toileting" aspects of owning a dog.
Good Dog Products, Inc. is a worldwide distributor of specialized Dog Toilet (Potty) Products that make owning a Dog much easier (especially for older people) and much more convenient. We have selected our products very carefully, taking into consideration the environment and the quality of the products themselves. All of our products are "GREEN". They do not require any energy to operate and they help to clean up Dog Waste Pollution (which is about 12 tons per day) of the environment. If our Potty's are used properly, that pollution will now go into the sewer system and be processed, and not be sent to the "Dump" or left to leech into the ground.
Here are some of the benefits that our products provide:
More benefits:
1: It'll fit anywhere, Patio, Balcony, Laundry, Deck, Bathroom, Garage.
2: Eliminates stains and/or puddles on your hardwood floors, tiles or carpets.
3: No more clean-ups on your floors and carpets.
4: Forget those early morning or late night dog walks in bad weather, or when you're under the weather!
5: You and your dog can stay inside when it's raining, snowing or icy outside.
6: You'll have peace of mind when unable to get home in time to walk your dog.
7: It's hygienic for you and your dog.
8: Easy to empty and clean.
9: Doesn't wear out. We have them for all breeds of dogs no matter how large or small.
10: No assembly required, just take it out of the box and it's ready.
Lowest Prices:
We actually have the widest selection of sizes of Grass Covered Dog Toilets of any supplier, whether you have a large breed, medium size, small or even "toy" sized dog, you don't have to buy more or less than you need. We stock the sizes and price ranges as follows:
Was $69.99 now $49.99 for "Toy" sized dogs: 17"x17"x6" weighs 4lbs.
Was $79.99 now $59.99 for Smallish dogs: 22"x17"x6" weighs 5lbs.
Was $99.99 now $79.99 for Medium dogs: 25"x20"x3" weighs 6lbs.

To buy any of our "on sale" products now: Click here
We also supply extra grass for all sizes and models, see products page.
All of our Dog Toilets are easily portable and ideal for use in Small Apartments, Condos, Boats, RV's, Motor Homes etc. They are very rugged and tested to take up to 200lbs in weight. All Dog Pottys have a capacity of up to 1.75 liters of liquid before they need to be emptied.
Up to now, if you had a small dog and wanted a Dog Toilet, you had to pay for a much larger unit, that was much more than you need. With the Pee Wee Dog Potty (Made in the USA) series of products, you only pay for what you need. There is no overkill on price and no wasted extra Potty that you don't need.
Dogs feel comfortable, safe and protected when they step onto the Pee Wee Potty (they don't have to jump up on it). Your floors and surrounding areas are protected by the built in Splash Guards (other manufacturers don't have these). The grass cannot slide off the Potty.
The lush synthetic grass used on the Pee Wee products is made in the USA and is used for many "Dog Runs". It is undoubtedly the most realistic, natural looking and feeling grass available anywhere. It will not become discolored or stained. The fibers have a UV protection coating and will withstand the damaging effects of urine, sun, heat, wind, snow and ice.
Drainage is very similar to natural grass and has multiple perforations allowing the urine to pass through to the collector tray below.
Training your dog to use our Dog Toilets is simple, see the separate training instructions packed in the shipping carton or visit the "Training" page on this web site for more information.
Please note that due to hygeine and health issues we cannot accept the return of any product. For shipping damage, please contact the carrier or our customer service dept.

As a public librarian, I focus on my bottom line...serving my community. My library provides valuable programs and services for my neighborhood. Sometimes the library is simply a safe place for children to come to after school, away from the gangs and violence outside my doors.
This is why I'm asking you to tell your friends about privatizationbeast.org, to help save those libraries.
At a time when it's become popular to attack public workers and services, a private company--Library Systems and Services (LSSI)--has come along. The company has shareholders and private equity firms investing in it and they are privatizing public libraries. I know that if a public library becomes privatized, the bottom line will become profits and not the public. This concerns me.
Recently, I attended a packed city council meeting in Santa Clarita and I saw hundreds of community members ask their council not to privatize their public libraries. But the council had already made its decision and it didn't matter that the community was not involved in the discussion. That's why SEIU and thousands of other library workers and patrons are supporting AB 438. AB 438 is a bill that would require community approval before a city could privatize its libraries. LSSI has hired lobbyists and firms to defeat this bill. LSSI knows that in communities where the public is involved in how libraries are run, they often don't hire LSSI. LSSI does not want the public to have a voice.
People should be concerned about paying fees for services that used to be free. Even people who do not use public libraries should be concerned about the fact that their library taxes are not being used for services, library materials or programs, but rather for shareholders and the profits of an out-of-state company.
AB 438 passed its first hurdle and will be going to the California Assembly and Senate for approval within the next couple of months. Please support this bill and tell your friends about privatizationbeast.org, to help save public libraries. Your community's library could be next.
Angel Nicolas is a Community Library Manager at Florence Library in Los Angeles County, California and a member of SEIU Local 721.

Trailblazing Belgian choreographer Alain Platel and iconoclastic filmmaker Sophie Fiennes (A Pervert's Guide to Cinema) provide a contemporary interpretation of Monteverdi's "Maria Vespers," one of the major works of European religious music, through virtuoso soloists and ensembles creating their own amazing new movement language. The result was described by one critic as "the weirdest, most shocking and provocative performance you will ever see."
