He has been called a Northwest folk hero", "Jesse James," and "Billy the Kid". But until now he hasn't been called a she. Contrary to popular belief, D B Cooper not only survived the infamous hijacking on Novermber 24, 1971. He also committed the high flying caper as a woman. Cooper's real name was first Bobby, then Barb Dayton. "Cooper" had gender reassignment surgery in December, 1969. In 1971, she pulled her buccaneering swipe dressed as a man and walked away as a woman. Bobby/Barb lived to the age of 76 and died of natural causes on February 20, 2002.
In 1979, Barb described to the authors in great detail how she jumped from the famed 727. She told them she used real dynamite, quipping "I don't do anything phony." . Barb said she jury-rigged the detonator out of a staple remover with wires soldered to it. There were other outrageous tales, as well. Boar hunting, riding with Hell's Angels, sky diving, gold mining, and surviving the Yukon Territory for eight days without food.
After Barb's death, the Formans began the fascinating journey of piecing together their dear friend's story and verifying her larger than life yarns. This book takes the reader on the rollicking journey and allows you to decide. Do you think Barb Dayton Was D B Cooper?

Apple Cinema Display ships
Apple has begun shipping its newly designed , which were introduced late last month at Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC). The new flat-panel displays feature an ultra-thin bezel aluminum frame as well as new single-cable-based connector that features two FireWire 400 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, and a DVDI connection. They also offer a magnetic mount for attaching an iSight video camera. A MacNN reader said that he received shipment confirmation of his 20-inch Apple Cinema Display and expects delivery this week. At WWDC, Apple had said it expected to ship the 20- and 23-inch displays in July and that the larger 30-inch display was expected in August.
Separately, another reader also noted that his credit card had been charged for his AirPort Express order--placed on June 7, 2004--although he had not yet received shipment confirmation. Shipment is expected on before July 15th, according his order page.

Counting Cross Stitch Tip
By: Maxine Corimski
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
When starting counted cross stitch using even numbers of strands, thread your needle with the cut edges so that instead of having to weave in your beginning thread, you have a loop. Ending threads, as usual, have to be woven in. But this way you have less bulk on the back, therefore leaving you with a much neater back.

when you begin a new strand of thread cut off twice as much as you would need for your project - pull one strand of floss from the thread - fold the floss in half placeing the two ends together and thread this end through the needle leaving the loop end as the longer part of the thread - bring the needle up through the fabric and then back down again through a second hole - once the needle is through the second hole slip the needle through the loop and pull firm - continue working your project as usual - this is probably the best way to begin a new piece of floss to a project - with much less bulk

The MAUD Committee
In April 1940, Britain began research into the feasibility of building an atomic bomb. In July of 1941, the MAUD Committee printed its final report and disbanded. The report reached America in October, but Soviet agents already had much of the report in September.
The report outlined the expected critical mass of uranium (approximately 1 kilogram) and the estimated explosive output. It also detailed the steps needed to collect, separate and purify the amount of uranium needed to build the bomb. It was an outline for a complete bomb project.
However, the Soviets were slow to react to the report. In March of 1942, Beria finally wrote a memorandum summarizing the intelligence he had collected from Britain and the United States. He recommended that the Soviets create a team to investigate building a bomb.
Kurchatov was shown the complete report from the MAUD Committee after he was selected to lead the Soviet bomb project. He was impressed with the research, but found a few mistakes and could not trust many of the results.

COLUMBIA CITY — Rising gas prices and this season's heavy snowfall are causing more than just a nuisance for drivers this winter.
The Whitley County Highway Department is taking blows to their budget every time gas prices jump, every time snow falls.
Not only do jumps in gas prices provide more cost to run the trucks, the highway department's funds come out of gas tax.
"Most people think our money comes from property tax, but our money comes from gas tax," Whitley County Highway Department Superintendent Mike Barton said.
Not only does the highway department have to share a cut of the money with the rest of the state's counties, but Indiana State Police and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles get the first share of the funds.
"The more gas prices go up now, the less fuel that is bought, the less gasoline tax that is taken, which means we get less money," Barton said.
With each snowstorm, the highway department is faced with more costs. Sand, salt, and overtime pay, all take a toll on the budget and all the while, gas prices are rising.
"The snow keeps coming, the bills keep coming, but we're getting less money," Barton said.
Though county residents may not notice the impact yet from this winter's higher costs, they might this summer when the highway department may not be able to fix as many roads.
"That puts a big strain on us this summer. We don't want to do more than we have to, but we have to do everything we can to keep the roads safe this winter," Barton said.
Barton, along with his department, selected 40 of the county's worst roads last year and 10 of them were fixed.
"Were going to fix as many roads as we can this summer until the money runs out," Barton said.
"We have 700 miles to cover, it's tough to get everything done and it's not as quick as everyone would like, but were doing everything we can."

If the point is to increase the Republican share of the Hispanic vote, this sure isn't going to help; the only thing that will is closing down mass immigration so that -- as we saw the last time we did it -- immigrants and their children will Americanize over time and vote more like other Americans, i.e., more Republican.

On February 5, Fox News' Fox & Friends aired on-screen text stating, "Estimates: 980,000 illegals living in FL," continuing a Fox News pattern of using the pejorative and unprofessional term "illegals" to refer to immigrants in the United States without legal status. Prominent journalists' associations have denounced the use of the term "illegals" by the news media, noting that the term "criminaliz[es] the person, not the action," and "skew[s] the public debate on immigration issues."

A January 15 Fox Nation headline asserted, "Obama Moves to Grant Amnesty to Haitian Illegal Aliens."

On his radio program, Glenn Beck and Breitbart.tv's Scott Baker singled out the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) for representing undocumented immigrants and "knowingly investing millions of dollars" from those workers in progressive policy goals. However, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, an organization that opposes several key progressive issues and which Beck complained during the same segment was not invited to a White House employment summit, also represents businesses in industries that employ undocumented immigrants.

Lou Dobbs, who is likely to make a decision about his post-CNN career this month, has held talks with the business news network CNBC in recent weeks, two people with knowledge of the discussions say.
Mr. Dobbs, a free agent whose exit from CNN last month prompted speculation about plans for a political bid, could conceivably host a prime time program for CNBC. He could also become a commentator for the business news network.

Peace deal with MILF to go on, say chief Philippine negotiator
Publication Date : 27-10-2012
Marvic Leonen has no qualms about leaving his job as the Philippine government's top man in the peace talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the event that he is appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, as he was assured the peace negotiations were in safe hands.
Leonen, who is among the eight nominees to fill the vacancy left by Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno, was interviewed by the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) on Thursday.
President Aquino has until November 23 to appoint a new associate justice under the JBC rules.
When grilled by JBC member and lawyer Milagros Cayosa on his role as chief negotiator with the MILF, Leonen made it clear that the framework agreement between the government and the rebel group was a collective and team effort by the five-member panel that included him.
"Any of the four (members of the panel)… can succeed being chair," he told the panel. "I would like to think that the framework agreement is bigger than Marvic Leonen."
Confident with deal
Leonen added that President Aquino was the main "principal" in the peace process, with the framework agreement containing "most of his words" and he was confident that the deal would be able to "move forward".
After the interview, Leonen told reporters the peace talks will not be affected in the event he is appointed by the president to the high court.
The "road map to the peace process is already established" through the framework agreement, he said.
In the event the agreement moves forward to the prime goal of achieving peace in Mindanao, Leonen said his possible stint at the high court will hopefully see him focusing attention on helping bring justice to areas of armed conflict.
Face of the panel
Over dinner with some reporters the other night, Leonen said he was merely the face of the negotiating panel.
"I think there are a lot of potentials for government. The chair of the panel, whoever that person is, should also be able to survive the implementation. My core competence is legal. (MILF chief negotiator) Mohagher Iqbal's core competence is political. So there has to be a chair that would be there during the implementation and understand all of it. I think it is important that the right person be at the right place," Leonen said.
Earlier, the Philippine Daily Inquirer asked Leonen if he preferred to stay on the government negotiating panel than be appointed to the Supreme Court. Leonen replied, "I will go wherever the President wants me."
Complete by year's end
Leonen expressed confidence that a comprehensive peace agreement between the government and the MILF would be completed before the end of the year.
He said two of the three annexes that would contain details of the peace agreement—power sharing and wealth sharing—are halfway done as the technical working groups for these annexes have been meeting for the past three rounds.
Work on the annex on normalisation, which aims to ensure human security in the Bangsamoro and includes the policing structure in the Bangsamoro government, has only begun this week.
An ad hoc inter-agency team on normalisation has met to discuss the need to "harmonise agency capabilities and the Framework Agreement's provision on normalisation," the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process said in a recent statement.
During the JBC interview, Sereno asked about Leonen's assets, to which he replied, "It's more than what I declared when I was professor at UP but definitely much less than others may have to declare."
Also interviewed by the panel were Adoracion Cruz-Avisado, Magdangal De Leon, Isaias Dicdican, Andres Reyes Jr., Jose Reyes Jr. and Noel Ticam.

I am reminded how I often hear jokes about French Canadian and how a lot of people in this country dislike the French. I agree, and I am one of them.
But on the other hand, I also am intelligent enough to realize that a few bad people can make the numerous great ones look bad. I like these jokes about Frogs. Hell! I have a frog tattooed on my arm!
So If your reaction is any indication, it shows two things.
1) I am pretty accurate in describing what I have seen, and even the locals seem to agree with the "Projected" image.
2) if the hat fits Buddy? wear it! Sorry! if the (Depicted) pickup is parked in your driveway? Drive it
As for you guys paying the bills in this country?
Funniest thing; and saddest thing I have ever heard.
But I think you just helped me prove my point.
Thank you!!
But like I always said and I accept it.

PS:Oh! And one last thing! I have done my service in the army and paid my dues. Many people dislike for good reasons the military machine. Fair enough! They have the right to like or dislike what they want. We are all individuals and God bless their hearts. But, you do not hear me say that the sacrifices we made, and the things we did allow insecure little men and women to overreact to little threats ( If they can be called threats)to their little egos. I never did and I never will. It would be like saying Oil workers pay the bills in this country. What an insult to Canadians overall. Sometimes I wonder if we ended up with the right targets in our crosshairs.
what Rockmuncher1 may have been hinting at is that a lot of Albertastanians somewhat resent the fact that our province, in recent years, has a net transfer OUT of upwards of $9 billion per year to poorer provinces due to equalization but yet the services we have are inferior to those enjoyed in the 'have not' provinces. This issue has been addressed well in recent newspaper articles/opinion pieces.
I'm offering no opinion on the matter here, just trying to maybe explain what he was getting at. For the non-Canucks who might read this, equalization, roughly, is a program whereby $ from richer provinces is redistributed to poorer ones. The idea is that the level of public services remains the same across the country.

Nigerians in UK: One week, one trouble
United Kingdom (UK), especially its capital, London, is like a second home to Nigerians. The not-so encouraging economic situation in the country is a major factor while Nigerians can do anything to 'check out' to the Queen's Land. Unfortunately, however, surviving in London, many have found out, is no tea party. Some have taken to crime to survive; others fake marriage to Europeans to belong; and some juveniles have also taken to a life of gangterism, writes OLUKOREDE YISHAU
Later this week, Victoria Osoteku will be sentenced by a court in the United Kingdom for the death of a fellow student, Sofyen Belamouadden, who was punched, kicked and stabbed in a murder planned on Facebook. Belamouadden's offence was that there was a feud between his school and a sixth-form college. Osoteku was seen on CCTV kicking Belamouadden in the head as he lay dying on the ground.
She is just one of the Nigerian teenagers, who are to lose their freedom for the death of the man whose father described as a star. Last Friday, Obi Nwokeh, 19, Christopher Omoregrie, 18, and Samson Odegbune, 18, were all given a life sentence and told they must serve a minimum of 18 years before they could be consider for a pardon.
Belamouadden, according to Daily Mail, died in the hand of a pack of up to 20 students aged between 15 and 18 at Victoria underground station in London. The teenagers were armed with a set of kitchen knives bought for £3.99 from Argos, a Samurai sword, flick knives, metal bars and extendable batons, which were used to batter the GCSE pupil with 'indescribable aggression'.
Odegbune, said a report, held the 12in sword above his head, as he and Omoregie and Nwokeh led the chase of the victim in the ticket hall during the early-evening rush hour. When they caught up with the victim, he was stabbed nine times in the lungs and chest. The attack lasted 12 seconds.
Judge Christopher Moss QC ordered that Omoregie, Nwokeh and Odegbune be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure – the juvenile equivalent of a life sentence.
He said: "None of you has shown any kind of remorse. Nor do you in any way acknowledge responsibility for the killing."
Another Nigerian boy, Femi Oderinwale, 18, was convicted of manslaughter and given 12 years detention. Osoteku will have her day with the law this week for the murder, which took place in March 2010.
The seriousness of the involvement of Nigerian teenagers and youths in gangterism in London was further brought to the fore with the conviction last week of Kazeem Kolawole for his role in shooting spree that shocked Britain and was described by a judge as an 'attack on society itself'.
Thusha Kamaleswaran, a teenager, is confined to a wheelchair by the shooting for which Kolawole and others have been jailed for life.
Kolawole is a member of Brixton's Gas - or Guns And Shanks - Gang, responsible for a trail of violence that has devastated parts of South London.
Judge Martin Stephens QC said : "This is an exceptional case of the utmost gravity. The seriousness is such that a life sentence is necessary to reflect public abhorrence of these offences. Shooting twice into the small and confined shop where it was known there were people present can be denounced as an attack on society itself by men who saw themselves as outside and above the law."
Kolawole was recently spared prison for beating a schoolgirl and was wearing an electronic tag while on bail for carrying a knife.
But it is not only gangsterism that regularly puts Nigerians in the UK on the spotlight. They are also in the news for sham marriages.
In January, a corrupt vicar who conducted 28 sham weddings was jailed. Many of his clients were Nigerians. The Rev Canon Dr John Magumba, 58, pocketed at least £8,300 after he agreed to marry Nigerians to Eastern Europeans living in Britain.
The unions, said Daily Mail, enabled the Africans to stay in the UK and claim hundreds of thousands of pounds in benefits. In the scam, European Union citizens would marry Nigerians to gain the right to stay in Britain.
Another vicar, Mr. Brian Shipsides, 55, is serving a maximum sentence of 14 years slammed by at Inner London Crown Court for aiding Nigerian sham marriages. A Nigerian woman, Amudalat Ladipo, 31, who acted as a fixer, was convicted of conspiracy to facilitate breaches of immigration laws. One of the Nigerians who got married through the process, Onyeka Nwagbo, 27, has been deported. He was arrested in his "wedding" suit minutes before the ceremony. His fake bride, Julitza Nedd, 23-year-old Swede, received an eight week suspended sentence for assisting illegal immigration.
A UK Border Agency spokesman said: "We are actively reviewing all cases where individuals gained the right to live in the UK as a result of a wedding at All Saints during the period in question. Where we have evidence that leave has been granted on the basis of a sham marriage we will look to revoke that right to stay and remove them from the UK.
"We will be contacting all of those involved in these weddings and asking them to prove their ceremonies were genuine.
"Those who do not do so will have their residency revoked and will be required to leave the UK. Those who fail to do so will face possible enforcement action.
"However, in such cases they will have a right of appeal to an immigration judge who will review whether they have provided evidence of a genuine relationship."

We are offering a delightful hand-hammered antique Navajo spoon for you to consider. Highly desirable and very collectible, this spoon measures 5 1/4 inches long and the bowl is 7/8 inches wide. Made from heavy gauge silver, it is quite heavy for spoons of this type and was well made by a true artisan. This type of spoon was always made from ingot silver by the Navajo Indians (Dineh) of Arizona and New Mexico for the tourist trade at the turn of the last century, usually selling their wares at the Harvey Houses or railroad stations. They were never marked for silver content. The design elements are all hand-stamped into this spoon as was commonly done. The top of the handle has a design that consists of a repetitive pattern around the rim along with a modified squash blossom design. The bowl is stamped with a decorative element including a whirling logs motif that is surrounded by a rainbow/sun pattern. One of the more unusual aspects of this spoon is the twist handle running the length of the piece. Most of the time the handles were simply straight pieces of silver. Both the front and back of the spoon show the hammering and filing marks that should be present with an item such as this. The spoon is in excellent condition with none of the fatigue marks or cracks that are commonly associated with this type of item as a result of being over worked. It might have been polished at one time but that was long before we obtained it. It has a beautiful glowing patina that covers the whole piece. Overall, this spoon is a gem and priced well-below the going market for such unique pieces. This is guaranteed to be a true piece of Navajo folk art and not a knock off made by a commercial manufacturer which is what so many of the "Navajo spoons" are that are being sold today especially on internet auction sites.
If you collect Navajo spoons then this spoon is for you. It is a nice elegant addition to your collection. If you do not collect these spoons then it is time to start. Their value is skyrocketing since the release of the book by Cindra Kline. You can shop with confidence at Sweetpea Cottage. YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED. If you wish to return your purchase for any reason we gladly refund your purchase price minus shipping. Within three days of receiving your item, simply notify us by email that you wish to return it. Once we receive it in original condition in a timely fashion, then we will refund the full purchase price minus shipping charges. International buyers must complete this transaction using PayPal.

Album Summary
- Christopher Maltman (Baritone)
- Graham Johnson (Piano)
Notes & Reviews:
Gramophone Magazine
Maltman brings a light touch to 'Liebesbotschaft', beautifully complemented by the filigree of Johnson's accompaniment...The second encore, 'Der Winterabend', culminates in Johnson's right hand doubling and counterpointing the vocal line - magical.
BBC Music Magazine
Both singer and accompanist are on far better form, for me, than they were in Winterreise...These are direct, uncluttered accounts of songs of varying quality, and the deepest - 'Am Meer', 'Der Doppelganger' - get appropriately weighty treatment, while others, such as the last, are delightfully light.
International Record Review
Maltman has a very beautiful light baritone voice and sings Schubert with undemonstrative perceptiveness and much musical intelligence...This is fine recording of Schwanengesang, the accompaniment occasionally somewhat insensitive but Maltman's singing hard to fault.
The Guardian
There's an uncompromising emotional rawness in Maltman's singing in Der Atlas, Die Stadt and Der Doppelgänger that make for very disquieting listening. But it's not all angst: he's sexy in Ständchen and humorous in Die Taubenpost. Johnson, meanwhile, is exemplary, reminding us throughout of the genius of Schubert's piano writing.

Her husband left her for a newer model and now he's lost his job, which means no more child support. This leaves Molly Hagan up a financial creek and emotionally still at sea in Vanity Fare: a Novel of Lattes, Literature and Love, a debut from Megan Caldwell, a regular blogger for the popular romance site Heroes and Heartbreakers. When an old friend offers her a freelance project writing marketing materials for a new bakery headed up by British celeb pastry chef Simon, Molly jumps at the chance. Thus begins the familiar balancing act between work, her son, Aidan – a six year old still dealing with the fallout from his parents' split, and her financially strapped mother who has moved in with her.
Out of the workforce since Aidan was born, her lack of experience increases her self-doubt as she tackles this creative assignment. But her fears are assuaged as she comes up with a unique idea playing on the proximity of the main branch of the New York Public Library to the new storefront. She creates stories tying each scintillating treat to a great work of literature and even comes up with the bakery's name – Vanity Fare. Her self-confidence is further boosted when the sexy Simon shines his romantic spotlight on her. Unfortunately, she must deal with his business partner, Nick, who is suspicious of Molly's abilities, but does show a softer side when Aidan is around.
The clever marketing copy opens each chapter and readers will find themselves longing for "A Room of One's Scone" or a "Tart of Darkness". For the more adventurous, the epilogue includes select recipes to bake at home. While the mouth-watering descriptions create a framework for this story, it is ultimately the realistic, yet still humorous, story of one young mother trying to start over again professionally and find lasting love.
How do you think you would respond in the face of something truly strange? With horror? With amusement? With speed, by running as fast as possible in the other direction? Or would you adapt, until what once was so strange is now just a new way of being? In his collection of wonderfully imaginative short stories, The Miniature Wife and Other Stories, Manuel Gonzales and his very human characters take the latter course, exploring the incredible malleability of the human psyche.
In tales ranging from just a few pages to nearly thirty, bizarre, often frightening, and occasionally gruesome events and people make appearances. A musical genius is physically crippled by his gift to the point that he must develop a way to speak through his ears to communicate. A zombie adept at hiding from discovery convinces himself to give into his homicidal urges because of a secret workplace crush. And in the title story, a scientist accidentally miniaturizes his wife and must then deal with the increasingly violent consequences to his marriage and his life. Often mysteries are unearthed, but never completely explained. Gonzales focuses on the internal dialogues of his characters, who respond to the weirdness around them with painfully human emotions and according to familiar--often petty and selfish--motivations.
At times tender, disturbing, amusing, and eerie, The Miniature Wife is perfect for cold, wild, stormy nights filled with hints of thunder and an air of possibility. Fans of gothic literature, the paranormal, and the short story format will devour this compilation of oddities and enigmas.
The bonds of family are strong, built out of intense love, and sometimes equally intense resentment and hatred. The Dinner by Herman Koch is less a meal than a psychological dissection of a family. The entire novel takes place during the course of an evening meal between two well-to-do brothers and their wives. Each member of the dinner party is trying to control the others and the unnamed "situation" with their children. Various scenarios play out in the minds of the diners, each more shocking and brutal than the last, as they attempt to sway the group toward the best solution. Best for whom remains to be seen.
Dutch author Koch takes a look inside a seemingly harmless gathering and answers the question "What are you really thinking?" Relationships—Parent and child, husband and wife, brother and brother—all are put under the microscope with satirical wit and brutal honesty. Already an international best-seller, The Dinner has received advance praise from like-minded psychological thriller writers such as Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) and S. J. Watson (Before I Go to Sleep). Come to The Dinner and ask yourself, which way does your moral compass point?
A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma: Mr. Churchill's quote applies neatly to author Robin Sloan's debut novel, the charming Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. Originally published as a short story in 2009, Sloan says "it gathered a following and ultimately grew" into his first book. Imagine a story about an ancient and secret society, one which involves puzzles, complicated codes, handmade typeface, and the quest for immortality. Now imagine a thriller which involves computer-hacking geeks, advanced cyber-technology, trademarked font, and big business. Finally, try to imagine a book combining these disparate elements and the fascinating result will be Mr. Penumbra.
Clay Jannon is a twenty-something laid-off web designer living in San Francisco. Financially desperate circumstances and newspaper help-wanted ads land him a job as the night clerk in Ajax Penumbra's store. While Clay is able to satisfy the job requirement of scaling a ladder three stories high to retrieve books from the skyscraper-like shelves, he quickly develops a problem following another workplace rule: he is never to look inside the books. Before long, Clay cracks open a forbidden spine and falls into a world of codex vitae, Festina Lente, and a members-only chained library, all while hanging out with the Googlers at their compound-like workplace campus, harnessing the on-line research superpower of Hadoop, and tapping into a digital database of museum inventories worldwide.
Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is both engaging and clever. Sloan splices together old-fashioned intrigue and modern computerized marvels using a mix of real and imagined constructs. Ultimately though, the true Holy Grails and miracles which Sloan is offering in this story may turn out to be the power of friendship and the amazing technological wonders of our times.
The 2013 Stonewall Book Awards were announced at this year's American Library Association Midwinter meeting. The Stonewall Book Awards are given each year to exceptional books reflecting the gay, lesbian and transgender experience. Each year a fiction, nonfiction, and children's or young adult title is chosen for the award. Honor books are also chosen in each category. This year's Barbara Gittings Literature Award went to The Last Nude by Ellis Avery. It tells the story of the passionate, tortured relationship between Tamara de Lempicka and her muse, Rafaela. The Last Nude is highly recommended to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the Lost Generation of Paris, learn more about twentieth century art or simply wants to read a fascinating, wholly engrossing love story.
The Mike Morgan & Larry Romans Children's & Young Adult Literature Award went to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz. Aristotle and Dante, two Mexican-American teens, are trying to figure out where they fit in the universe and how to navigate their ever-evolving friendship. Aristotle and Dante walked away with multiple awards this year. In addition to the Stonewall Award, it was also the winner of the Pura Belpre' Award, which goes to the work for children and youth that best represents the Latino cultural experience. The book also garnered a Printz honor award, which highlights teen books of excellent literary merit.
This year's Israel Fishman Nonfiction Award was given to For Colored Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Still Not Enough: Coming of Age, Coming Out and Coming Home, edited by Keith Boykin. For Colored Boys is a collection of over 40 essays and personal stories from gay and transgender people of color. The collection features essays on coming out in communities of color, religion, HIV/AIDS, family dynamics and finding love. A powerful and diverse collection, For Colored Boys gives voice to life stories that are rarely told.
A complete list of The Stonewall Winners and Honor Books can be found on the ALA website.
HBO and BBC have partnered to bring Parade's End, based on Ford Madox Ford's classic modernist tetralogy, to the screen in a new five-part miniseries that will premiere in the US on February 26th on HBO. Ford's novels, published separately between 1924 and 1928, were first combined and reissued as Parade's End in 1950. The story follows Christopher Tietjens, the wealthy heir to the estate of Groby, who is serving in the British army during World War I. Christopher's personal life is complicated by a love triangle. He is torn between his socialite wife Sylvia, who Graham Greene called "surely the most possessed evil character in the modern novel," and his suffragette mistress Valentine. Rather than focusing on the upstairs/downstairs themes of Downton Abbey, Parade's End portrays a broader view of England and the English gentry around World War I. Parade's End is a challenging but worthwhile read. The New Yorker's Ian Crouch calls the novel "The Better Downton Abbey," citing the characters' sharper edges and the novel's drama that excels where he feels Downton Abbey has begun to fall flat.
The miniseries was adapted for the small screen by Sir Tom Stoppard. Director Susanna White says that Parade's End, which was commissioned before the Downton Abbey craze, is its own unique take on the time period. Get a sneak peak at this critically-acclaimed drama, featuring the BBC's Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch as Christopher, here.
Some reading experiences are meant to be savored. Jess Walter creates one in Beautiful Ruins, which begins in 1962 at Hotel Adequate View on the Italian coastline. Pasquale Tursi, who runs the hotel, is captivated by the blond woman who arrives at his hotel. She turns out to be a dying American actress, and thus begins a novel that sweeps over decades and contains a cast of captivating characters, all "beautiful ruins" in their own right. In the present day we meet Michael Dean, a film producer who has recently returned to favor with the popularity of a reality television show, and his long suffering assistant Claire Silver, who is in the process of discovering another line of work. Next comes Shane Wheeler who wants to make a pitch to Michael Dean with a screenplay about the Donner party. Other characters include a would-be novelist, a failed musician and a famous film actor. These lives are woven together in an unusual style that includes chapters of novels, film treatments and even a play.
The characters Jess Walter creates are completely realized and finely detailed. The story captures the imagination and you can't help but care for this motley crew as they try to create something that matters, only to find themselves failing and falling and further affecting all the other lives around them. Although the characters seem separated at the beginning of the novel, the stories begin to intertwine and blend, leading to an incredible crescendo. Thoroughly discussable, this novel is perfect for book groups. Beautiful Ruins will pull you in, capture your heart and will make you reflect on your own life choices.
Books about children in the foster care system tend to be a largely grim bunch. Fiction or fact, they are often filled with requisite accounts of, at best, benign neglect and frequently tell a far more horrifying tale. In her debut novel, Y, author Marjorie Celona explores the concept of family ties that bind both by blood and by choice.
The headline reads "Abandoned Infant: Police Promise No Charges" after a newborn baby is found in the early morning on the steps of the YMCA. The revolving door of foster families grinds into motion as baby Shandi gets shuffled about, her name changed to Shannon and her arm broken by a foster father. As a preschooler, Shannon lands in the loving home of single mother Miranda and her daughter Lydia-Rose who is the same age as Shannon. Miranda's home is modest and her income small, yet she is determined to form a family which includes loving Shannon as her daughter, as Lydia-Rose's sister.
Could the story end here? Instead, Celona goes on to explore the effects of abandonment and subsequent feelings of alienation on Shannon as she grows up in Miranda's home. At the same time, she alternates Shannon's story with that of her parents and grandparents, revealing the trajectory of events which led up to the morning at the Y. Celona uses Shannon as an omniscient narrator and allows her to completely relate her own story; this includes her search for her "real" parents. At the same time, she is recounting her biological family's history, chronicling incidents occurring long before her birth. Ultimately, Shannon must figure out what constitutes "family" for her. For more about growing up in the foster care system, try Janet Fitch's White Oleander or Ashley Rhodes-Courter's biography, Three Little Words.
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice remains one of the most popular and imitated classics although it has been two hundred years since its publication on January 29, 2013. Syrie James offers an intriguing addition to the many modern Jane Austen homages with The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen, which presents a story-within-a-story, both of which will delight ardent fans.
Librarian Samantha McDonough is travelling in Oxford when she stumbles across a letter in an old book of poetry. The letter is from Jane Austen to her sister Cassandra, and describes a manuscript Jane had lost while visiting an estate named Greenbriar in 1802. A missing Jane manuscript could be monumental and Samantha immediately begins researching. Her investigation leads her to the now-crumbling Greenbriar and its owner Anthony Whittaker. The two discover the pages in a secret compartment and begin reading The Stanhopes along with the reader. This purported Austen story introduces Rebecca Stanhope and her rector father, both snubbed by polite society because of a fabricated gambling charge. As Rebecca attempts to restore her father's good name and discover the nefarious person spreading the lies, she encounters love. James does an excellent job of recreating Austen's voice and setting and weaving two compelling stories. As the Stanhopes strive to regain their respectable position, Samantha and Anthony are caught up in their growing attraction, yet disagree on how to handle this invaluable treasure.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Jane should be pleased as punch, although it is doubtful that she would ever surrender to such vanity. Syrie James is one of a multitude of authors, including P.D. James and Colleen McCullough, who have entries in the Jane Austen assembly. From spunky Bridget Jones to Colin Firth's (as Mr. Darcy) unforgettable lake scene, Pride and Prejudice remains a touchstone for modern storytelling.
From the time he became the first pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1927, Charles Lindbergh has been a source of national fascination. In her new book, The Aviator's Wife, historical novelist Melanie Benjamin turns the spotlight on the woman behind the man. Anne Morrow Lindbergh is a fascinating persona in her own right, the first American woman to earn a first class glider pilot's license, in order to become her husband's co-pilot and navigator. Told in the first person, the novel begins with the couple's brief, whirlwind courtship—romantic to Anne but perfunctory to Charles.
Anne is immediately smitten, and although he is less than attentive to her emotional needs, Charles' prowess in the bedroom keeps her interest. She respects his keen intellect and career ambitions, while all the while wishing he was less distant. The Aviator's Wife follows the couple through the highs and lows of their complicated marriage. Benjamin chronicles in detail perhaps their greatest tragedy, the infamous kidnapping of their firstborn, Charlie. She captures Anne's paralyzing grief at the loss of her beloved son, and her sense of hope and helplessness as investigators attempted to find the boy.
Love, determination, convention, and duty ultimately fueled their marriage for 45 years. Although first and foremost a wife and mother of five more children, Anne managed to carve her own identity as a writer and feminist. Benjamin also illustrates Anne's affair with her physician, sparked when she was hospitalized for gallbladder surgery. Charles never visited his lonely, ailing wife during this difficult time. And although Anne found her own respite, she is shocked and saddened to learn of her husband's own indiscretions over the years. Well-written and engrossing, this historical novel proves to be an enjoyable, thought-provoking read.

Thanks for the forum members and all the great tips. I sincerely appreciate those that offer so much of their time in the service of helping others enjoy great pizza. :) :) :) :)
I started this project to get the kids outside and learning to create something with their own hands instead of becoming nintendo superstars. (Although I am grateful to have a couple of big strong boys to help with the concrete).
As soon as the weather breaks and I find some insulating board, I will be ready to start the dome. yippee!!!!!!

I ended a renting a mixer to help with the foundation pour. I almost bought a cheap one from Harbor freight but decided to just let the big boys get some exercise when we did the hearth.
For those looking for materials in Central Virginia, I found most of what I have used so far at Lowes for the concrete bags, but the brick, block and mortar was less expensive at the masonry supplier Shade and Wise.
Some pics of the completed stand, I used a center row for support, and two openings for storage

I had some leftover durarock panels that I decided to use now for the tray. I supported with a couple of columns of block and brick on the underside and taped the seams. This worked out really well and I felt a lot easier than using the plywood sections.

I was short two bags of concrete so I sent one of my sons for supplies while we continued to work. Anthony came up with a nice way of getting the concrete up to the hearth.
This save a lot of time and he is strong enough to balance the wheelbarrow while rolling up the ramp. I made sure the form was well supported and secured, using metal fence posts on angle and vetical supports. Each bag was 80 lbs. If I had to do this alone, I would have gone for the 60lb bags.

thanks again for all the help.
Re: 42" build in Virginia
Nice use of snap headers, I dont know why more ppl dont use them, nice tight joints too.
Just a tip, start from the back of the oven overlapping the bricks by half, that way all the fiddly little bits will be out of view against the arch at the front. :)
