Compared with being scorched on Mercury, suffocated on Venus or frozen on Pluto, our ride on planet Earth seems like a fairly safe option. But life here has been fraught with danger in the past.
Close shaves with extraterrestrial hazards could explain some of the biggest catastrophes the Earth has seen, from the largest mass extinctions to the most widespread ice ages. Astronomers differ on what poses the greatest threat - whether it's giant clouds of choking dust or magnetic neutron stars - but many agree that the alarming roller-coaster ride is far from over. Fasten your seat belts and take a deep breath as New Scientist reveals the five greatest astronomical threats to life on Earth. Kate Ravilious is our guide
Most serious cosmic hazards for life on Earth are a result of the sun's regular passage through the Milky Way's spiral arms. Our solar system completes an orbit ...

The same day President Obama gave an odd press conference where he claimed he wanted Russia to respect the Ukrainian Constitution as well as the unconstitutional government in power in Kiev, a US guided-missile destroyer headed for the Black Sea. The destroyer complements fighter jets already being deployed to Poland and the Baltic States. The attempts at military intimidation comes as US officials negotiate to try and get the US/EU backed Ukrainian government recognized by Russia and others.
The Navy announced Thursday it was sending a guided-missile destroyer to the Black Sea amid the crisis in Ukraine. The move comes a day after the Pentagon decided to send six additional F-15s to Poland, to reassure NATO allies after Russian forces moved into the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.
The Navy said in a statement that the deployment was "routine" and planned before the crisis unfolded. "While in the Black Sea, the ship will conduct a port visit and routine, previously planned exercises with allies and partners in the region," the statement said.
Yatsenuk is featured in a recording of a phone call between U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland. In the call Nuland says she wants Yatsenyuk in power and recommends Pyatt try block other politicians from entering any government that might rival "Yats." Yatsenyuk, it seems, was the US choice to run things. Not so neutral after all.
So while the US has gained Kiev and subsequently much of the rest of the country, whether or not the US will ultimately accept Crimea splitting is an open question. It may be the price to pay for keeping the rest of Ukraine.

Roasted Garlic
I have been roasting garlic while cooking other dishes and it's worked well.
Just cut the top of the garlic bulb off, drizzle some olive oil into the bulb/cloves and put it in with whatever you're roasting.
You can save this roasted garlic for a long time in your fridge. We pull off the roasted garlic pieces and use them for a variety of dishes. Today they went on lamb sandwiches. We've also used them on Pizzas with good success. Salads....
Wherever you like a roasted garlic flavor.
Salut...to your good health.
(I knew an old Finn, Marco, who ate a whole head of garlic every day!!!!, he also took snow showers in the middle of a Keeweenaw winter!! Lived into his mid 90's.)

The Exploding Girl
Dir. Bradley Rust Gray
In Theaters 03/12/10 On DVD 09/07/10
When twenty-year-old Ivy heads home Spring Break with a fresh romance in her heart, everything seems to be going perfectly. When her best friend Al finds himself without lodgings, Ivy and her mother take him in and Ivy and Al's friendship strengthens while her boyfriend grows more distant from afar. Increasingly distressed about her conflicting feelings, Ivy must stay resilient in the face of her epilepsy, lest her emotions become something she can't control.

Little Man was born and when he could, started jumping right in and helping with whatever work is going on around the house. I hid and couldn't help taking pictures of him hard at work. The boy is too precious for words.
Living in the Moment!
couldn't help but grab my camera and take a walk around the house… this kind of beauty is so fleeting and will quickly disappear… as in the very next day it was all gone.
Princess had the same idea I had. Notice she is now wearing a jacket.. the temperature was already rising quickly and getting warmer.. back to jacket weather.
Living in South Carolina, we get snow usually once a year for only a day or two.. literally… one or two days of snow fall and the next day the sun shows, all the snow just disappears as if it was never here… so in the South, when snow hits, we dive in and play till our noses run and our toes are froze because we won't see it again till the next year.
So I bundled the kids in as many layers as they could stand.
Tromping to the empty pond across the street, behind our house.
Princess getting her first shove down the hill.
Big Man spinning then spilling half way down.
Middle Man hiking back up to do it all again.
Little Man is serious about this.
Living in the moment is pure joy!
Comfort Food! Whenever someone says those two words Chicken Pot Pie is at the top of my list. Well not just any chicken pot pie.. it has to be mine! =)
SUPER SIMPLE INGREDIENTS! (of course, cause I don't cook any other way)
Begin by boiling a whole chicken for about 45-60 minutes or until it is completely cooked. Remove the cooked chicken to a dish to cool off a bit before tearing it apart. Keep the chicken broth to use in the next step.
Slice and dice up the potatoes, 1/2 onion and 1/2 green bell pepper. Bring the broth back to a boil and add these cut up vegetables as well as the bag of frozen vegetables. Allow this to boil for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Tear up the chicken and lay in the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper per your taste.
Once vegetables are cooked, remove them with a slotted spoon because you will still be using 2 Cups of the broth. Mix the vegetables, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and 2 Cups of chicken broth. Pour this over the chicken that was placed in the casserole dish.
Mix together the 2 Cups self-rising flour with 2 Cups milk. You want this the consistency of pancake batter, a bit runny so add more milk if needed. Pour this over the vegetables.
Stick this in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the top is a golden brown.
Oh so comfy! My 4 children love this dish and that entire casserole is licked clean.
Enjoy! T
This recipe was handed down to me by my mother-in-law. The tradition was to eat it for Christmas breakfast but of course I have to bunk tradition and make it whenever we feel like it and tonight I felt like having it for dinner.
Brown sausage and make grits according to the package directions.
While these are both cooking, dice up the onion, bell pepper and celery and shred the cheddar cheese.
Once meat is browned, remove to a plate and leave a bit of the grease behind in the skillet. Add vegetables as well as a sprinkling of salt and pepper per your taste. Cook this until the vegetables are wilted and cooked. Once grits are finished, set aside.
Pull out your crock pot and spray with cooking spray. Mix together the cooked sausage, grits, cooked vegetables, cream of mushroom soup and cheddar cheese. Cook on low in the crock pot for about an hour but can sit in the crock pot for a few hours if needed.
Great for potluck meals and always is a huge hit.
Enjoy! T

IT also referred to as information technology involves the development and use of technology which is computer-based. Starting your own IT Company may involve quite a lot in term of designing computer software, internet information transmissions. In order to come up with one of these IT businesses, you need to consider the following guidelines.
- Making decisions
The first thing you need to do is to decide the line of IT business you need to undertake in term of service and product provision. Your IT knowledge should always be the determining factor in making this decision. You may even decide to join hands with an IT expert who also has the same idea of starting an IT business. You also need a list of all the services that you intend to offer to your potential clients. This list is important especially when it comes to those referred tasks that you receive in your business; you will always be in a better position to choose what to offer and what not to offer.
- Branding your IT business services
Branding your company`s services is the second step for your IT company business. This will not only help you know the best services to offer to clients, but also help you determine whether you will pay some taxes and how much you will be legible of.
- Building a website
Come up with a website for your IT business. Though it is not a must have thing, it is always helping your business in term of growth mainly by drawing huge traffics to your business. This website is also important if you want to take your IT Company in the outside world. A website also reflects your professionalism in your business. If you consider this step worth undertaking, you should then make sure that your website is highly optimized in term of search engines. It is also important to consider the essences of offering good views in term of services you offers. This includes all challenges your company is able to handle better than other IT companies. The final thing that should be on your IT company`s site is the credentials of all people working in your company.
- Outsourcing of the services
When you are through with setting up your IT Company, the next thing you need to do is outsourcing for the services. It is good to consider work from one company which is steadier rather than small IT services from various sources. Though these small services always contribute a lot in term of work, they are always not able to give you enough revenues which is able to meet all your company`s expenses and payrolls. Therefore, working from a single source means that your IT Company will have a steady and enough revenues.
- Liaison
The final thing you need to always do is visiting those recognized IT companies. This is important especially when it comes to outsourcing for more information which is relevant for your business. You may even form collaboration with them especially if you are willing to do so for your company's expansion. One thing you should conscious with is to be always observant before start this company ii term of having enough resources especially in term of valuable equipment.
Once you follow all these steps, you will always have the best IT business that is both promising and profitable. You may also decide to start an IT consulting firm which also has a lot in term of inputs.
Jolie has good experience in writing articles and blogs on business. Her articles on Wall Cladding have been appreciated by the people who have been searching for information in this matter.

He is equally anxious to see his own country, and to be reconciled to the church; and the cavaliers have promised, 22 inch cock, if we are disposed to become man and wife, on returning to 22 inch cock native land, they will provide for us handsomely. In a word, it appeared that this extremely discreet and provident old woman 22 inch cock consulted with the cavaliers and the renegado, and had concerted the whole plan of escape. The eldest princess immediately assented to it; and her example, as usual, determined the conduct of her sisters. It is true, the youngest hesitated, for she was gentle and timid of soul, and there was a struggle in her bosom between filial feeling and youthful passion the latter, however, as usual, 22 inch cock the victory, and with silent tears, and stifled sighs, she prepared herself for flight. The rugged hill on which the Alhambra is built was, in old times, perforated with subterranean passages, cut through the rock, and leading from the fortress to various parts of the city, and to distant sally-ports on the banks of the Darro and the Xenil. They had been constructed at different times by the Moorish kings, as means of escape from sudden insurrections, or of secretly issuing forth on private enterprises. Many of them are now entirely lost, while others remain, partly choked with rubbish, and partly walled up; monuments of the jealous precautions and warlike stratagems of the Moorish government.

While rummaging through some of my Grandfather's fishing diaries & fly
books I discovered an envelope marked " 4/10/45- 3 salmon & 1 lake trout
taken in Hebron cove on the cove side of the Cockermouth River about 7 PM
by R.M. Whitcomb". Inside the envelope was a fly whose pattern I am using
for this swap. It may have been a local pattern (Newfound Lake, NH ) but
is very close to several patterns such as the Footer Special, Col. Bates,
Governor Barrows & Guide's Special except for the copper body. I do not
know the correct name so named it one of those it resembles. The original
pattern appears to be tied on a Japanned Allcocks limerick tue hook. All
hair in the original is Polar Bear and the body is embossed copper tinsel.
I have attempted to duplicate this pattern in detail except for the use of
copper braid instead of tinsel.

From the American Scene: My Sisters Take Culture
Whenever I watch my small daughter run barefoot and free at "rhythm class," I remember how my devoted mother kept buying expensive ballet slippers for my sisters and me. Why we needed ballet slippers for the mongrel art Miss Dora imparted to us I still don't know after more than twenty-five years. A real ballet step would have sent us flat on our smug little faces.
But Miss Dora said ballet slippers: all the other mothers bought ballet slippers and our mother bought ballet slippers. She bought them in triplicate—because three of her four daughters took the combination elocution, dancing, and—singing lessons which Miss Dora lumped as Public Appearance.
Mamma was pleased at having a trio of her own to Appear Publicly, and she would have shepd even more naches from her whole quartet. But Stella, the eldest, was an intellectual high-school senior who scorned this new craze. She had her school work, her piano lessons, her duties in Papa's stationery store, and her dates; and she considered that a full life.
Naomi, Ruby and I, aged fifteen, nine and twelve, also had homework, music lessons, and the store—but no dates as yet, so there was a small niche available in our lives when the Fineberg girls came running with the news about Miss Dora.
Nettie Fineberg was incoherent with excitement. She clutched a paper with some names written on it, and a pencil.
"She's from London, England, and she was an actress," Nettie gushed, "and she'll come to Jersey City every week if we get enough kids, and—"
"What are you talking about?" Mamma said. "Nobody could come from London to Jersey City every week."
"No," Nettie's sister Tessie explained. "She was in London, now she's in New York. She's a high-class elocution teacher, and she says she isn't interested in the money so much as she wants to bring culture to Jersey City."
"It's seventy-five cents apiece if we get ten kids in the class," Nettie snatched back her tale, "and if we get more it's only fifty cents."
"But it's just for little kids, isn't it?" Mamma asked.
"Everybody," Tessie protested. "Miss Dora says big or little, she can teach you culture and poise."
Mamma needed no adding machine to figure that four times seventy-five or even fifty, plus my violin lessons and piano instruction for the other three girls, added up to a good weekly slice for culture.
But Mamma was the kind of woman who maneuvered her almost unending workday so that she could sit in her room with me and sew behind closed doors for the daily hour I practiced my fiddle. She protected my sisters' nerves and guarded me from possible assault.
She didn't hesitate now.
"Put my girls down." She pointed to Nettie's subscription list. "Put them all down."
Sister Stella promptly declined, but almost no one else in Jersey City did. The Bergs had only to hear that the Finebergs were in, and all the Cantors needed to be told was that the Bergs had joined up.
So it spiraled until the class hit the fifty-cent zone and then got too big for anyone's home. Finally Mr. Fineberg cleared an enormous space in the basement of his dry-goods-and-department store. He put benches around, strung up extra cable lights, and sent his truck with delivery man and porter to fetch the battered upright piano donated by another father. The class then officially opened, with twenty-seven aspiring Public Appearers.
Class met every Wednesday after school and lasted till 5:30. Part of the time we received group instruction, as when we stood in rows and learned "positions" for our feet, or waved our arms gracefully in time to. Ethelbert Nevin's "Narcissus."
Then, while each child was called up to do her "specialty"—a recitation piece, a song, a dance, or a hodgepodge of all—the rest would take to the benches and watch as quietly as possible. Criticism by anyone except the teacher was not encouraged.
A delegation of mothers also warmed the benches at every lesson, and competed with each other in inviting Miss Dora home for supper after class. She was probably the most glamorous person any of us had ever met. I don't mean in appearance—for she was plump, faintly mustached, in her late forties, and dressed bunchily in a style Mamma termed "Dutchy." Dutchy meant "not classy."
"I can't figure her," Mamma would ponder. "She dresses Dutchy like the goyim, still she's Jewish. Maybe it's because she's from England. But I must say she is an interesting woman."
Miss Dora was rich in personality and in tales of the London stage. The names of George Arliss, Mrs. Pat Campbell, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, and the other British great fell from her lips with both reverence and familiarity.
It thrilled us to learn pieces full of British words like "subaltern," "Jolly good, eh!" and "Pip, pip, toodle-oo, old chappy." Years later I realized Miss Dora's staggering repertory was strictly music hall.
She poohed the idea of going on the stage in New York. Not when she had her deah, deah children to teach in Newark on Mondays, Brooklyn on Tuesdays, Jersey City on Wednesdays, White Plains on Thursdays, and New York on Fridays. With such an itinerary we were deeply grateful that she awarded Jersey City a day, and even more honored when she supped with one or another family.
On such occasions Miss Dora sometimes got to meet the fathers of her pupils. Not often, for they were chiefly storekeepers, and in our milieu a father and mother could seldom sit at table together.
Sometimes a father popped out of his nearby store for a few minutes to look in on the class with wonder and pride. Mr. Fineberg, Nettie's and Tessie's father, dropped in often, for we were in his basement, and he had plenty of hired help to leave in charge upstairs.
But I am afraid our fathers knew much less about our cultural lives—and that includes our reading and musical tastes as well—than did our mothers. Fathers were limited to hearing their offspring "oblige" for visiting relatives on Sunday, maybe managing to get to pupil "recitals" once in a yoivel, and paying for the lessons. Sometimes they had a share in deciding what lessons should be taken, sometimes they weren't consulted. Some wives who knew their husbands would take the short and derisive view of culture avoided argument by signing up first and telling after.
But I am happy to report that a great many fathers did share the mammas' eagerness to give their children every opportunity America afforded—everything they themselves didn't have as children in Europe, or later as hard-working new Americans.
I am not talking solely about our friends. I am talking of Jewish parents in general—all those plain men and women who somehow always manage to buy their children more expensive pianos, fiddles and 'cellos than they can afford—or even the best in tenor saxophones and clarinets for those traitors who distress mammas and papas by preferring jazz to "classic."
Of course, it didn't hurt the family pocket any when those same jazz-students worked their way through college by taking dance jobs night after night, and spending summer vacations playing at Catskill resorts. This is still an honorable and accepted way to utilize childhood lessons. To be sure, the pickings are slimmer since our sophisticated young have been spoiled by the glamour of the "name band."
But few parents we knew looked for tangible returns from the money they cheerfully spent on the "children's future." On our economic and social level, and in our time, you seldom found Jewish mothers prodding a child to the limit of physical endurance to produce a prodigy, a concert musician, a stage star. True, if you didn't practice there was a gevald and geshrei. But that was partly because money came hard and fees weren't to be wasted, partly because discipline is discipline, partly because mothers like to have their children perform good for the Eastern Star or the Ladies' Aid.
"I don't expect my girls to become actresses," Mamma explained to Mrs. Schoenstein, who asked advice about her Pearl joining our class. "Gott zoll ophitn. These children in the vaudeville shows—what kind of life is that for kids?"
The movies, which later planted seeds of hope in more maternal breasts, were as yet an infant industry. No Shirley Temple, no Margaret O'Brien to put ideas into parental heads. Nor had radio mushroomed into a tempting market for child voices. Most of us were taught to saw away at our fiddles, bang away at our pianos, pipe out our songs and fling our skinny legs in dance without ulterior motive, just as most boys were sent to heder every afternoon without the rabbinate as goal.
I do know one fanatic Jewish mother in recenter years who filled every half-hour of her daughter's time. She apportioned the child's life among teachers of piano, harmony, dance, painting, and voice, plus Italian and French to pronounce the songs properly. No one was surprised when poor Ginger had a bad nervous breakdown at the age of twelve. Yet this same regimen has undoubtedly produced child-wonders in other, more fortunate homes.
All in all, more than half the girls my sisters and I went with took lessons of some kind, and most of us ended up not as celebrities or nervous wrecks but as wives. (Perhaps, after all, that was the underlying motive.)
As for the three of us, when we became disciples of Miss Dora, we weren't thinking of carving out careers or snaring husbands. The whole thing sounded like fun, all the other girls were doing it, and we wanted to. It was almost impossible for us to plumb the mental depths of someone like Dot Siskind who didn't want to join the class, but was forced to by her mother.
Every Wednesday Mrs. Siskind dragged her sullen ten-year-old to Mr. Fineberg's basement and stood guard lest Dot escape to play ring-a-leavio in the street with tough boys.
Dot's open hostility was hard on Miss Dora. Our teacher usually sat at the piano, thumping out accompaniments while watching us over one shoulder and shrieking instructions in perfect time to the tune. When Dot "joined" the class Miss Dora stopped bothering to sit down. To save wear and tear she just stood at the piano banging out chords, for she was forever rushing out on the floor to push Dot into a position remotely resembling what the rest of us were doing.
Finally Miss Dora said she thought Dot's talents were strictly elocutionary and limited her solo work to reciting.
That was how Dot got herself out of the class. One Wednesday she appeared affable and smiling—so cooperative that poor Mrs. Siskind almost wept with pleasure. She went through the "positions" without once stepping on her own feet, she waved her arms to Nevin's "Narcissus" without hitting the next girl in the eye.
When called upon for her piece, she walked prettily to the center of the floor, made the proper bow to teacher, mother, and audience, and then recited:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
The hell with the whole
Damn lot of you.
My sisters and I were happy in Miss Dora's class. But almost immediately she began typecasting, and I didn't like the way she sized me up. I was a morose, earnest, and worrisome child. Miss Dora gave me only comic pieces to recite, like the one starting "I was a habby Deutscher, zo habby as can be," followed by a waddling, silly Dutch "character" dance.
We thought Miss Dora clever to divine the latent emotion in our good looking, excitable Naomi. Sorrow or anger always sent Naomi to the piano where she would sit for hours playing things like "Träumerei" and "Reverie" with more schmaltz than technique. Now Miss Dora groomed her as tragic disease of the class.
As for Ruby, redheaded, freckled, and fresh—she was the family nymph. She got to do adorable, pert little dances. Sometimes she was a flower, sometimes a bunny.
Actually, Ruby had become a notable Public Appearer a good two years before, when at seven she delighted an audience not so much with her piano playing as with her impudence.
The occasion was a "pupil recital" by Ruby's expensive piano teacher, who believed in such swank as renting the Aeolian Hall auditorium in New York City, no less.
One by one, starting with the tots and working up to girls old enough to be getting married, each pupil would walk to the stage with poise and play a piece while another shared the bench to turn pages.
Tiny Ruby rollicked her way through pages I and 2 of a baby piece, "Camp of the Gypsies," and was ready for the other side, but nothing happened. The big, slow page-turner had gone off into a private daydream.
Instead of doing the job herself, Ruby put her small hands in her lap and screeched through Aeolian Hall, "What's the matter? Are you asleep?" She got a terrific hand.
Clairvoyant Miss Dora recognized my kid sister's impishness and rewarded her accordingly. Only I, the clown yearning to play Hamlet, was misunderstood.
But Mamma was enchanted with our progress. At last she had something tangible to contribute when the shul Sisterhood or the Ladies' Aid begged talent for their entertainments. Until now Mamma had drawn a blank in her children. She would come home from a meeting and sigh.
"The Radner girl played the violin like a dream," she would tell us wistfully. "I don't know—only my children never want to do anything."
"But Mamma, none of us play well enough for that."
"Oh you're too fussy. The ladies talk all through the program anyway. Anything would sound good to them."
Now, Gott zei dank, we could at least recite and Ruby could dance. And on one occasion we got a chance to see the value of taking lessons and using them. We shared a Sisterhood program with a young chiropodist who had just opened his office. He sang a few numbers in a nice, semi-cultivated voice. Everyone applauded. He bowed charmingly, distributed his professional cards throughout the vestry room, and left. Mamma said it brought him plenty of clients with corns and bunions.
If Miss Dora's instruction enriched the Ladies' Aid entertainments, they didn't pauperize our private Sunday morning musicales either.
These always began with a housecleaning bout. Mamma, who had a tough enough week in the store, spent Sundays lavishing attention on the house. We four helped—in our own fashion.
Mom, the general, set one to dusting, one to sweeping, one to bedmaking, the other to washing breakfast dishes while she cooked dinner. (Pop was in the store, for we never closed Sundays.)
Unfortunately, Stella couldn't dust the piano without running her hands over a few keys and pretty soon she was playing something. She played very well—the only good musician among us—and Mom would sigh with satisfaction as she stirred knedels for the chicken soup.
When Stella drifted from Schumann's "Kinderszenen" to "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody" and "Japanese Sandman" I could no longer hold myself in. This I knew how to play. Many a practice hour I had wasted scratching through the sheet music Stella's ritzy beaux bought her at the Ziegfeld Follies, George White's Scandals, and the other Broadway musicals to which they were always taking her.
Now, hearing her play the Tin Pan Alley stuff I had painfully mastered in the first, second, and even third positions, I would slip into the parlor, pull my violin case from the top of the piano, and pray Stella wouldn't decide to dust as soon as she heard me tuning up.
Naomi, yanking sheets around beds, joined us in her pleasant but off-key voice. Before long she and Ruby were standing at the piano and all were shouting, as Mom happily put it, "at the top of their lungs."
Across the quiet Sunday street people stopped and looked up. That was when we lived over the store on a main business thoroughfare. Later, in our nice little house on a side street, we competed with the choir of the Baptist church next door.
What a repertory! "Ki-i-i-is me, ki-i-i-is me, a-a-again," "Jada, Jada, jada jada zing zing zing," "It's three-e-e-e-e o'clock in the maw-aw-awning," "A good man, te da te dum, is hard to find, te da te da, you always get, te da te doo, the other kind," "At daw-aw-awning, I love you." And next door, the hymns.
Naomi and Ruby coupled up, danced as they sang. If Stella jumped from the piano bench to dance, Naomi sat down to play. I tried singing and fiddling together, but my chin wobbled too much.
Mom went around beaming. She finished the dusting, finished the beds, finished the dishes, finished the gebrutene chicken. And the band played on.
Today Mom need only turn on the radio to clean house accompanied by a symphony orchestra or a hot jazz band. But I think she'd gladly trade in Toscanini, Tommy Dorsey, her beloved Kate Smith, and Frank Sinatra for one more Sunday morning jam-session by her own quartet. After all, can a mother kvell over Sinatra—unless she happens to be his mother?
What's more, our pre-radio home didn't need any "audience participation" shows to make Mom feel she was right in there with us. We hadn't been taking elocution—I mean Public Appearance—lessons three months before she found herself dragged into the thick of our cultural efforts.
What happened was that Miss Dora decided our group was ready to Appear Very Publicly. She announced a pupil "concert," rented a real though unused theater. This gave the whole daft proceedings an important air in our town and set us rehearsing like mad.
A concert meant costumes and costumes meant Mom. She was a gifted sewer who laughed scornfully at patterns. We would come home from rehearsal, run through the little gems Miss Dora had cooked up, and Mom would immediately envision how we should look.
"So then, Ma," Naomi explained, "I take this Egyptian vase down from my shoulder and go into this wild Egyptian dance with Nettie Fineberg—she's the fellow. A storm comes up and Nettie is killed and I bend over her—him—and cry. Then the music gets happy and Nettie jumps up. . . ."
All this highly Egyptian music was from Grieg's "Peer Gynt" Suite. Mom listened raptly to Naomi's interpretation of Miss Dora's brainstorm, nodded a few times, grabbed her scissors, and came up next day with a charming costume—Turkish.
With three daughters in the show, Mom became a regular theatrical designer. My parts alone ranged from a Dutch comedian to the Statue of Liberty, a prince, a geisha girl, a sailor, and George Washington. (As George, I minuetted with what appeared to be a large powdered wig on legs, but was really my tiny sister Ruby.)
Miss Dora took one enchanted look at our costumes and stopped worrying about that department. She routed all mothers to Mom—who began staying up nights with her scissors.
There were so many numbers! There had to be. If you didn't get lots of good parts for the show, your mother yanked you out of the class and Miss Dora was out fifty cents a week. So she stuffed everything in.
Even so, at the dress rehearsal some grumbled that every time the curtain went up one of my mother's kids was on the stage. That, Miss Dora pointed out, was because there were three of us.
I'd have gladly given up some of my numbers, especially in the "ensemble"—a chorus line specializing in high kicks of uneven lengths. It was no fun to flutter around daintily in a Japanese kimono over a heavy blue serge sailor-suit with pants. At the last minute Miss Dora found she had billed a hornpipe to follow immediately after a geisha fan dance. So we had to wear two layers of costumes, and shed quickly. Fan dance indeed!
Truth is, I'd have sacrificed everything just to be my sister Naomi in her terrific climactic number, "The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God."
This was an elocution piece about a handsome, reckless subaltern in India who stole the idol's jeweled eye as a gift for his frivolous love, and got bumped off for his bother.
I used to practice the way my sister panted, "An ugly knife lay buried—in the heart—of Mad Carew"—and then drop my voice sepulchrally as she did to intone, "'Twas the vengeance—of—the—little—yellow—god." With each word my head would fall lower on my thin chest. The fist I had clenched to Heaven now dropped to my side, the fingers opening out slowly, limp—and—dead.
I learned every word of that Kiplingesque tear-jerker. I could give it every quaver Naomi gave it, every sob and moan and mutter. But I could mutter it in my beard for all Miss Dora cared.
I remember little of the show night itself except a hot haze and a numbness where my brain should have been. Evidently we all reacted alike, for the wings were thick with mothers who reached out, seized their off-coming offspring, jerked them into dressing rooms, pulled off costumes and slapped on costumes. How Mom did it for three of us I do not know, but she must have, for there is no record of any of us appearing before the footlights in underwear.
By the time another concert rolled around, Naomi had discovered boys and quit being a tragedian. I, bored to tears with funny poems, dropped out too.
Only Ruby kept up her art. She was the star of special assemblies in P.S. 39. She was the hit of the Saturday night show at Fleischberg's Mountain Resort the time she hopped in through the Casino window in her little rabbit suit to do her bunny dance.
When I gave my first awkward girl-and-boy party I told Ruby she could do a dance for us—but it had to be MY dance. I'd never heard of choreography, but I had a feeling that if you can't dance, the next best is to have someone do the steps that wander around in your head.
After a week of shrill squabbling in the parlor we had our dance—strictly a homemade job. Mom sewed the flowing tunic according to my instructions, and begged in vain for just a few spangles on the plain cheesecloth.
At the first dull, tense moment in my party I put a recording of Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" on the crankhandle victrola.
And Ruby danced.
She curled in a little ball on the rug—sleeping the winter through. She woke. She put a delicately cupped hand to her ear. She heard music. Ah Spring! She leaped to her feet. She danced. She tossed flowers—paper flowers—like a mad thing. She danced some more. It got to be autumn. She shivered. Came winter—she lay down on the rug and curled up again.
My friends applauded as the kid ran gracefully from the parlor, throwing kisses. Even the couples holding hands let go long enough to clap.
Ruby, always the showman, peeped through the French door curtains to gauge her success. And as she looked, a smartaleck of a boy walked to the middle of the room, threw himself down in a sodden heap and began to snore. Opening his eyes he crossly pantomimed that his own snoring had disturbed him. He punched himself a hard right to the jaw, swayed to his feet, staggered a little, and so into the dance—Ruby's dance—MY dance—so beautifully burlesqued that the embarrassed giggles finally gave up to real howls.
I found the kid crying in our bedroom.
But she cried only that once. Next time she was asked to dance she did the burlesque version herself. The time after that she did our sister Naomi's Egyptian dance wearing a pair of Mom's aluminum pot-covers for breastplates.
My sister had discovered a "genre."
But so did Ethel Merman, so did Danny Kaye, and Betty Comden—and other good Jewish boys and girls who, too, learned culture as my sisters did.
The big difference is that they had great talent, and earned fame and money.
But my sisters DID have fun.

Lamborghini's most insane concepts
Believe it or not, the Aventador J's real. But Lambo have form with some pretty extreme concepts...
Posted: 13 Mar 2012
"A lady's legs would be there for all to see." That was Ferruccio Lamborghini's major beef with the Marzal concept's gullwing doors, which had a glass panel below the waistline.
Nevertheless, he pushed it into the fray at the 1967 Geneva motor show, showing off the company's inaugural four-seat super GT. Which is nice. It also paved the way for the wonderfully rubbish Espada.

An ornately decorated, traditional Thai restaurant with above-average food and a unique menu, complete with familiar and unfamiliar items. Transcends stereotypes of the typical Thai meal to become a memorable dining experience.
Food quality and service aren't as strong as they used to be; reasonably pricey appetizers, soups, and a la carte rice may put off some people.

San Francisco Thai
"Local Thai fans and restauranteurs should know of this place's existence, even with its problems; the authentic, traditional environment will remain in customers' minds for years."
To the extent once-per-year visitors could be considered "regulars" at a given restaurant, we were regular customers at San Francisco's Khan Toke Thai House - an upscale, traditional Thai restaurant located in the Richmond district, quite far from most of the city's action. After a string of expensive, unimpressive meals in the city years ago, we sought out the area's reputedly best Thai place and found Khan Toke, the sort of restaurant that looked as if it had been there for years. We've visited annually thereafter in early January, letting it serve as the group discussion and debate venue for iLounge's annual Best of Show Awards. But this year's visit was most likely our last.
The issue wasn't Khan Toke's decor, which is so impressively ornate and traditional that it's hard to believe; wood walls, ceilings, railings, tables, and carvings are quite literally everywhere inside, the multiple rooms feeling about as distinct from Western New York's Thai restaurants as is possible. Shoes must be removed at the door and stored by a doorman during your visit; rather than chairs, patrons sit on cushions atop custom-built recessed flooring. Waiters - typically aged professionals - stand high above you as they serve, leaning over to deposit dishes on your table. The lighting is dim and dramatic, which explains both the intimate ambience and our grainy photos. Khan Toke is as much about the experience as the food.
We were always pretty impressed by the large, half-familiar, half-unfamiliar menu, which was populated with everything from satays ($7) to salads ($6-$8), and seafood dishes ($9.50-$13) to soups ($8-$11.75), depending on how closely you wanted to dive into it, with plenty of old standbys - sweet Pad Thai noodles ($8.75), spicy Tom Yum soup ($9, here, called Tom Yam), and the like - for those who wanted the basics. Though the appetizer, soup, and entree prices had an unusual degree of overlap, the high soup prices, for instance, were justified by mandatory three-person servings, a pricing style that continued with a la carte steamed rice ($1.50). Someone - you - had to pay for all that wood.
Historically, the food was pretty close to great. Thai curries, numerous in color and entirely distinct from the better-known Indian version, were sure-fire winners, and prawn entrees were standouts, as well. Any chance we had at leaving a little hungry was quashed by a coconut ice cream and fried banana dessert, topped with a smiley face of nuts, that always seemed to hit the spot.
During this year's visit, our group ordered a typically ambitious array of dishes: the Sur Rong Hy Crying Tiger, a sliced, marinated beef appetizer, a separate plate of grilled, crab-stuffed appetizer prawns, a Chicken Satay, and entrees ranging from deep fried, curried red snapper to a plate of Fire! Fire! Fire! seafood, ordered "Thai hot," and many others - our small table seemed perpetually full. Yet unlike previous years, while all of the items were good, none seemed to be truly great. Some were obviously off, the snapper a little less than totally fresh and crispy, the prawns a little bland, and the Fire! dish not exactly a three-alarm blaze. Even the coconut ice cream and fried bananas fell a bit flat; we surely enjoyed our rounds of Singha more than the food that night. Similarly, our favorite waiter, an older gentleman who delivered old school, personalized service and charm, was nowhere to be found - the first time we'd missed him in years of visiting. The night's replacements were okay, but not equally attentive.
Would we go back to Khan Toke? Under different circumstances, perhaps, but the trade show that annually brought us back to San Francisco as a group will effectively cease to exist after this year, and as tourists rather than residents, the Richmond location isn't especially convenient for less important gatherings when we're in town. The looks and strong food of this interesting Thai restaurant were enough to rate as memorable in the past, and draw us back despite the distance, but we'd generally expect better than we got on our last visit. So why even mention it on Buffalo Chow? Western New York Thai fans and restauranteurs should know of this place's existence, even with its problems; there's a lot to be learned from Khan Toke's approach to creating an authentic, traditional environment, namely its ability to remain in customers' minds for years almost regardless of the food.

How could I conclude my answer to the question below about working and living conditions in Britain during the Industrial Revolution?
The question is:
Every aspect of life was marred by unhealthy, revolting conditions and the constant danger of disease.
How valid is this assessment of the living and working conditions, 1830-1848?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The way that you conclude your answer must depend on what you have argued in your essay. In other words, if you have agreed with the interpretation given, that is what you need to say in your conclusion.
So, if you are going to agree with the statement, then you would need to specify that and you would need to say a little bit to summarize your argument as to why this was. As an example, you might say something like this:
Living and working conditions in the Industrial Revolution were very poor. As factories arose, they attracted workers to the cities. The workers crowded into areas that were not meant to hold so many people. They worked in factories set up for making money, not for promoting the health of the workers. Therefore, the workers truly did face revolting conditions and the constant danger of disease.

Ado-Ekiti — The Ekiti State House of Assembly has advised teachers in the state to obey the government and submit themselves for the compulsory competency test.
The teachers had earlier vowed not to write the test, alleging that the exercise was meant to demote or ridicule them. Chairman, House Committee on Information and Civic Orientation, Mrs. Omowumi Ogunlola, who spoke with newsmen yesterday as part of activities to mark the anniversary of the Assembly, asked the teachers to obey the state government and subject themselves for assessment.
The lawmaker said the Assembly mediated in the matter by meeting with both government and teachers' representatives with a view to reaching an amicable resolution.
She said the examination was meant to determine the teachers' strength and weaknesses with a view to addressing any shortcoming therein.
Ogunlola added that the exercise is not meant to make any teacher lose his/her job.
"I don't believe teachers should run away from writing examination. Teachers teach students, conduct examinations and assess their pupils/students, so why should they say they cannot write examination to enable government know the areas that need serious attention in the education sector. So, in the interest of the people of Ekiti State, they should toe the line of reasoning," she said.
While rating the Assembly in the year under review, the lawmaker said the House, apart from making laws to enhance the living standard of the people, it also passed several bills into law.

Tari Tari has tried huggable pillows in the past, yet this latest take is easily one of the best to its name – no mizugis or excess skin is involved, but simply some delicate clothing and a very gentle atmosphere.
This dakimakura isn't going to shatter the pillow fluffed heavens – however, it is an all-around lovely piece of merchandise. The choice of artwork is fresh and ripe as the bishoujo was well-illustrated, and the circumstances are more unique than most dakimakura have to offer. Likewise, the selection of ensemble is superb in many a way – it's rare for anime girls to wear red clothing, even more so when pajamas are the articles in question.
And on that note, pajamas to begin with are quite a rarity – one would have thought they'd be more common considering a huggable pillow is, sure enough, a pillow. Empirical data suggests pillows are frequently used when sleeping – yet no, enthusiasts of bishoujos in light and comfy wardrobe are left unaccounted for nearly each and every single time regardless. But, by the graces of higher power, not this time.
Such an ideal pairing, the dakimakura's opposite side may not feature pajamas, which is commendable as variety is important, but it sustains the theme involved – simple and vibrant, a peaceful girl dressed in cozy clothing.
There is some skin, but nothing more than necessary. The pillow presents a warm and affectionate situation – a superb set of artworks indeed.

Air-breathing throwaway batteries could be a cheap answer for those situations where your cellphone needs charging and there isn't a power supply in sight, according to Electric Fuel of Israel. The company has applied for world patents on its zinc-air throwaway (WO 00/36690). Oxygen from the air reacts with water to form hydroxyl ions, which migrate to a zinc anode where they react with the metal. This releases electrons and generates a current. Each battery contains a number of small cells inside a case peppered with holes. Heat from the cells creates a draught that keeps the cells supplied with fresh air.

King John Zápolya of Hungary dies, and his infant son John Sigismund Zápolya takes the throne. This goes against the treaty of 1538, which promised the succession to Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and Bohemia. As a result, Ferdinand sends troops into Hungary to claim the whole country and lays siege to the capital city of Buda, provoking the intervention of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman I.

Bogus wines grow in Europe
By Jessica Yadegaran
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006 at 11:13 am in Uncategorized.
Counterfeiting clothing and music makes sense, but wine? Italy, France and Australia have had millions of bottles pop up as counterfeit in the past year or so. Lots made in China but bearing big labels like Sassicaia, Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Penfolds Grange. What struck me is that people who buy these bottles, collectors mostly, can detect the difference before the tannins even touch the tongue. That's how it goes with $3,000 wine. Why hasn't it hit the U.S. yet? Not sure. But winemakers there are reluctant to file suits against these frauds for fear of tampering with tradition, sometimes centuries-worth. That's one thing we definitely wouldn't worry about there.
