XML is the lingua franca of the Web. All designers and developers working in a web environment need a sound understanding of XML and its role in application development. Many software packages and organizations allow for the exchange of data using an XML format. Web services and RSS feeds are now commonplace.
For those working with Flash and Flex, a thorough understanding of XML is particularly important. XML documents are one option for the data provided to SWF applications. Flash and Flex can load, display, and modify XML content. These applications can also send XML content to other applications for updating or for use in different situations.
ActionScript 3.0 introduced some fundamental changes to the way in which Flash and Flex applications work with XML. One significant change is that XML is now a native data type. ActionScript 3.0 also introduced new classes and a different framework for working with external documents. These changes are based on the E4X ECMAScript standard, and they streamline and simplify the process for working with XML in Flash and Flex.
In Foundation XML and E4X for Flash and Flex, Sas Jacobs gives you an introduction to XML and E4X. She explores the XML and XMLList classes and explains E4X expressions, providing examples for both Flash and Flex. In addition to explaining how to incorporate XML documents in Shockwave Flash applications, Sas shows you approaches specific to Flash and Flex and explores real-world usage. The book finishes with two case studies. In the first, you will learn how to consume and display information and images from Flickr using Flash. In the second, you will work with Adobe Kuler in Flex.
Whether you are a designer or developer, this book will help you work with XML and make the transition from ActionScript 2.0 to ActionScript 3.0. It will also provide you with an excellent grounding if you are new to Flash and Flex.
What youll learn
- Work with the XML and XMLList classes in ActionScript 3.0
- Build E4X expressions in ActionScript 3.0 to simplify your work flow
- Work with XML content in Flash and Flex to create dynamic web applications
- Consume REST and SOAP web services in Flash and Flex
- Build real-world Flash and Flex XML applications

Carbon High School's last game versus North Sanpete on April 12, started out great for the Dinos, who had a demanding lead from the beginning. The Dinos won easily 15-1.
The North Sanpete Hawks started out slowly at Carbon, not scoring any points in the first inning. The Hawks have only won one game out of 10, making them fifth in the region.
Pitching for the Dinos was number 17, Adam Martinez. Warming up quickly at the beginning of the first inning, Martinez had eight strikeouts for Carbon and only allowed one hit in five innings pitched.
Aaron Sandoval started out the first inning for Carbon, receiving three balls and a free run from the North Sanpete pitcher. Sandoval scored the first run for Carbon High, signaling the start of what would be a great game for the Dinos. The rest of the Dinos' batters following Sandoval hit great in the first inning, with bases loaded, the Dinos went on to score an impressive seven runs by the end of the first, making the score 7-0.
The second inning didn't quite pan out for the Hawks either, who still hadn't scored. Starting out slower in the second, the Dinos had two outs before the first run of the second inning, then quickly scoring another, making the score 9-0 at the end of the inning.
Carbon finished out the game the same that they had begun. Having a 14 point lead over North Sanpete, the game was called at the end of the fifth inning.
This is turning out to be a great year for Carbon, who is number one in region. The Dinos are 4-0 within region and 8-7 altogether.
The next game coming up for the Carbon High Dinos is scheduled for Friday, April 15, at Emery High. The Spartans are a tough team, and are number three in the region, 2-2, and 3-6 altogether. This should be a great game for the Dinos, who are notorious for their rivalry with all of the Emery teams. The Dinos won 10-0 the last time they went up against the Spartans on March 22.
At the end of the month, on April 28, Carbon is scheduled to play North Sanpete once again. Team members and fans are confident that Carbon will do as good then as they did before against the Hawks. The North Sanpete game will be the last game scheduled for both teams, after that state is scheduled to begin on May 7.
The state baseball tournament is coming up quickly, and if the Dinos play as well as they have been, they should make a rather good showing for Carbon High fans.

The XH A1S comes with a Genuine Canon 20x HD lens that shows why the name Canon is synonymous with optical excellence.
Canon reserves the L-Series designation for its highest quality photographic lenses. The Professional L Series Fluorite lens of the XH A1S ensures outstanding resolution, contrast and color reproduction, and delivers clarity and image quality you won't see with conventional optical glass lenses. And, because it's an ultra-low dispersion (UD) lens, chromatic aberration is reduced for brilliant results.
The XH A1S's design gives you equally impressive operational performance. The design lets you operate the zoom using the lens barrel ring, the control on the camera's grip, or the control on the camera's handle. When using the zoom ring on the lens, you can control the speed of your zoom by varying the angle of the ring, or by varying the speed at which you rotate the ring. When using the grip control, you can zoom at 16 different speeds; or you can use the control to operate at a single zoom speed which you preset. When using the handle zoom control, you can operate the zoom at a single speed which you preset. You can also select high-speed zoom to increase the zoom speed when using either the grip or handle control. And, because the lens is designed with a zoom ring, you can operate zoom, focus and aperture using a single hand.
This f1.6 - 3.5, 4.5 - 90mm lens gives you a wide view that - at its widest - is equivalent to a 32.5mm focal length lens on a 35mm camera. It also comes with two built-in ND filters, and can be enhanced with an optional wide converter to meet all your needs.
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer
The XH A1S also comes with Canon's innovative SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), which combines gyro- and image-sensors to give image stabilization through a wider range of camera motions. Some image stabilization systems correct one type of camera motion or vibration better than another. But Canon's SuperRange OIS corrects for a wide range of camcorder motion: the fast vibration you'd experience while recording from a moving car; the medium-speed motion of hand-held recording; and the slower motion of body sway. No matter what you're recording and how you're recording it, the XH A1S's stabilization design corrects camcorder shake instantly. In addition, optical stabilization keeps your shot steady without a loss in image quality - something that can't be said for electronic image stabilization.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The FWS Furniture store chain went out of business last month, but Friday the store re-opened for a discount sale.
It was set up by creditors and an auction firm.
The sale drew long lines but not everyone was impressed with what they saw.
"Really none of the prices changed," said FWS customer Ron Crosby of Buffalo. "It looks like it's the same prices and everything. I was very disappointed."
New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman told us Thursday that his office is looking into claims from FWS customers who say their prepaid orders for furniture were never filled and that there were no refunds for cancelled orders.

GRAND ISLAND, NY - A rollover accident on the north end of the north Grand Island Bridge Friday morning had traffic backed up "half-way across the island," a Niagara International Transportation Technology Coalition (NITTEC) official said.
At about 7:45 a.m. all lanes headed north toward Niagara Falls were blocked and traffic was being rerouted to Buffalo Avenue.
An hour later, traffic was moving again, slowly.
New York State Police say it was a multi-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer that caused two minor injuries.
Road conditions on Grand Island and in Niagara County are worsening, with slick snow build-up on the roads and reduced visibility causing numerous accidents. Drivers are reminded to take it slow and be patient.

POTSDAM - Christopher C. Robinson, an associate professor of political science in Clarkson Universitys School of Arts & Sciences, was awarded the Distinguished Teaching Award during the universitys 119th commencement ceremony today.
Robinson teaches an array of courses in political theory, American politics, and public law, and is co-advisor to the Universitys Law and Society Program. For more than a decade, he has taught in the HEOP Summer Pre-freshman Experience and has engaged in various diversity initiatives on campus.
This spring, he was a visiting scholar at the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont.
Robinsons scholarly work has focused on political and legal theory in the contemporary era, with particular focus on language and the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein.
In 2011, he was a Fulbright Scholar to the Political Science Department at Sogang University in Seoul, South Korea.
Robinsons book, Wittgenstein and Political Theory: The View from Somewhere, was published in 2009 by Edinburgh and Columbia University Press. This study was the first comprehensive examination of Wittgensteins philosophy by a political theorist in almost 40 years. It received significant scholarly attention in both Europe and the United States.
Since completing the book, Robinson has embarked on two projects. The first is a book-length manuscript, Democracy and Ecological Economics: The Politics of Sustainability, which examines the implications of arguments pertaining to the unsustainability of economic growth and impending ecological catastrophe for democratic theory. The second project is a study of the relationship between literature and political theory. Robinsons article on the novel trilogy of Albert Camus is part of this investigation.
In addition to his teaching, Robinson has served on many professional and university committees and is advisor to several groups, including Phi Sigma Sigma, the Philosophy Club, and the Pre-Med Program. In 2010, he was awarded Clarksons first Martin Luther King Jr. Award.
For more than a decade, Robinson has also been the co-host of North Country Public Radios Readers and Writers on the Air. In this capacity he has helped bring the voices and thoughts of some of the worlds most important writers to the region, while also publicizing the scholarly and literary contributions of local faculty and writers.
Robinson has been a faculty member in the department since 1998. He received his Ph.D. from SUNY Albany, his M.A. from SUNY Albany and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and his B.A. from Siena College, all in political science.

Can a tobacco plant help fight cancer? Writing this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that they've been able to use tobacco plants as biological factories to manufacture specialized proteins needed for an experimental individualized cancer therapy. The researchers are studying one type of cancer, a potentially fatal form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They took cells from the tumors of 16 different individuals, and then spliced genes that code for the surface proteins on those tumor cells into the tobacco mosiac virus, or TMV. Once tobacco plants were infected with the modified virus, the virus spreads throughout the plant, producing quantities of the needed protein within the plant's leaves. The proteins were then extracted from the plants and purified, producing several milligrams of protein specifically tailored to a patient's own tumors.
The technique is still in its early days. While the researchers showed in this 'Phase I' trial that the approach could produce the needed protein, and that the protein could be safely injected into cancer patients and produce an immune response, there is still no data on whether the approach will actually be useful in cancer therapy. We'll talk with one of the researchers on the project about the work, and its prospects for the future.

MSc Human Evolution and Behaviour
About the programme
Darwinian theory has radically altered our understanding
of human life. Against this background, our masters course is designed to
provide students with a solid practical and theoretical grounding in issues
relevant to the evolution of humans and non-human primates. The compulsory
programme involves a seminar-based core module covering a choice of two topics
from three that are on offer (palaeoanthropology, primate socioecology, human
behavioural ecology), as well as attendance at the research seminar in
biological anthropology and at the graduate research methods seminar. Students
also choose three options from a variety of topics such as Anthropological and
Archaeological Genetics, Human Skeletal and Dental Biology, The Archaeology of
Pre-Modern Humans, Evolutionary Archaeology, Evolution of Cognition, Primate
Evolution, Documentary Filmmaking. Performance is largely assessed by
examination, essays and an MSc thesis.
This one-year masters programme offers a unique combination of courses related to primate and human evolution, ecology, behaviour and genetics.
The programme for the MSc in Human Evolution and Behaviour consists of:
Compulsory core components (25% of overall marks for the degree)
- Two of
the following:
- Post graduate methods/Statistics 1 (term 1)
- Dissertation project presentation
3 optional courses (25%; each option thus represents
Involvement in the Department's
research environment
- Weekly departmental seminars (2-hour)
- Occasional attendance at non-departmental seminars
MSc Dissertation (50%)
Core Components
Human Behavioural Ecology – ANTHGH14
- Weekly 2-hour post graduate seminar
- Recommended attendance of 2-hour undergraduate lecture per week (ANTH7018, Human Behavioural Ecology)
This component is about the evolution of behaviour in humans. It examines how much of the variation in behaviour can be understood in terms of maximising reproductive success in different ecological and social circumstances. There is increasing recognition that Darwinian approaches can contribute to our understanding of human demography, health, psychology and culture, in hunter-gatherer, traditional and modern agricultural and post-industrial societies. The course will cover those aspects of our behaviour and life history that have parallels in numerous species, and also those that may be uniquely human (such as menopause and the demographic transition), including how cultural evolution has influenced our behaviour. The subjects covered in the weekly seminars will relate to those covered in the optional undergraduate lectures, but the first two thirds of the lecture course is about theory and its application to animals, with the last third being exclusively about humans, whereas the seminar will concentrate on humans exclusively throughout. Areas covered: theoretical approaches to the study of behavioural and evolutionary ecology (such as kin selection, the comparative method and optimality), social evolution (altruism, social living, life history theory, reproductive strategies).
Primate Socioecology – ANTHGH15
- Weekly 2-hour post graduate seminars
- Recommended attendance of 2-hour undergraduate lectures per week (ANTH7009, Primate Behaviour and Ecology)
The behaviour and ecology of living primates will be studied, as well as the general theoretical background to animal behaviour developed by evolutionary ecology. The focus is on current Darwinian paradigms about the evolution of the societies of primates. About 200 species including humans belong to this mammalian order. Like all animals, they are faced with the problems of how to survive, breed and rear offspring. Some animals do better in this regard than others - they have a higher reproductive success and their genetic information will be more frequently represented in future generations. The social behaviour of primates is particularly complex and can be viewed as attempts to maximise genetic fitness. The course asks how primates organise their social and reproductive strategies to adapt to specific environmental conditions. Topics covered will include social, mating, and breeding systems; sexual selection; parenting behaviour; ecological competition; intra-specific aggression; social intelligence (particularly deception and "language") and technological intelligence (tool use); animal rights. Includes a visit to London Zoo.
Palaeoanthropology – ANTHGH16
- Weekly 2-hour post graduate seminars
- Recommended attendance of 2-hour undergraduate lecture per week (ANTH2003, Palaeoanthropology)
This course introduces the fossil evidence for human evolution and its interpretation. It includes an introduction to techniques of species recognition and phylogenetic reconstruction as well as to the molecular evidence of the human line in the Miocene (23 - 5.5 mya). The second half of the course looks at the evolution and adaptation of the genus Homo, its spread out of Africa and the controversies surrounding subsequent evolution of modern humans. The laboratory sessions aim to familiarise you with (1) the relevant comparative anatomy, (2) the casts of the relevant fossils, and (3) the methodology and techniques necessary to interpreter the fossil material.
Post-graduate methods/Statistics 1 - ANTHGH03
This course introduces statistics and the R language
from their very basics. The course assumes no background knowledge of either
statistics or statistical software. Topics covered in Term 1 ANTHGH03 include an introduction to statistics in R, distributions, hypothesis testing
(t-tests, proportion tests, ANOVA), correlation, linear regression,
multivariate statistics (multiple regression, PCA, discriminant analysis) and
logistic regression.
Dissertation Project Presentation (end of term 2)
All students present a 15-min preliminary dissertation proposal in front of peers and members of staff, followed by a discussion.
Optional Courses
Note: Not all options might be on offer during each session. A minimum number of five students are required for any one option to be run. In reality, this is almost always achieved, as students often originate from various programmes. There might be slight changes to lecturers and course requirements from year to year.
- Advanced Human Evolution – ANTHGH02
- Statistics 2 - ANTHGH04
- Anthropological and Archaeological Genetics – ANTHGH07
- Primate Evolution – ANTHGH17
- Practical Ethnographic and Documentary Filmmaking – ANTHGS17/20/25
- Archaeology of Hunter-Gatherers from the Emergence of Modern Humans – ARCLG128
- Variation and Evolution of the Human Skull – ARCHLG144
- Dental Anthropology – ARCHLG145
- Evolution of the Human Brain and Behaviour – ARCLG183
- Archaeology of Early Human Origins – ARCLG271
Project Dissertation (50% of marks)
The dissertation is based on independent research and thought. This may be achieved at an empirical level (by presenting source or case materials) or at a theoretical level (by exploring and synthesising previously published sources), or in a mixed manner. A good dissertation demonstrates awareness of similar research, situates itself critically in relation to what has come before and will also point to other areas of research.
The thesis supervisor will be chosen on the basis of topic and/or theoretical expertise, and is typically an instructor of a core course or option course. Other academics might act as supervisors during field or lab work phases, given that students will often collect dissertation data in research groups located outside UCL.
Some recent titles of MSc dissertations include:
- The Neanderthal and Homo erectus pelvis in human evolution
- A quantitative analysis of gibbon behavioural ecology

CrockPot Corn Risotto Recipe
Day 310.
I got this recipe from Terri (who gave use the awesome 3-packet roast) and she got it from the Dallas Morning News.
I made risotto earlier in the year, and was quite impressed with the results. Usually making risotto is quite a pain (I've been told. I haven't actually made any on the stove top because after reading the directions, I need a nap.), but it's quite easy in the crockpot. You plug it in and turn it on.
The Ingredients.
--1 1/4 cup arborio rice
--1 T olive oil
--1 T butter
--1 tsp onion flakes
--4 chopped cloves of garlic
--4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
--package of frozen corn (16 oz)
--1 tsp salt
--1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, depending on taste
to add later:
--1/4 cup heavy cream (I used fat free half and half)
--1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
The Directions.
I used a 4 quart crockpot.
Put the tablespoon of olive oil into the bottom of the crockpot, and swirl the rice and the onion flakes in it.
Chop the garlic and add, along with the salt and cayenne pepper. Add the frozen corn and the broth. Stir well. Drop in a pat of butter.
Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours, checking every 45 minutes or so. This is done when the liquid has absorbed and the rice is tender.
Unplug, and add the cream and parmesan cheese. Cover for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts completely.
The Verdict.
Creamy and delicious. I didn't serve this right away and my rice sort of disintegrated, but it still tasted wonderful. The kids said it was like corn oatmeal, and they're right---it kind of is. The first risotto I made came out with a better texture, but this was fun to try and had a neat creamed corn flavor.
Thank you, Terri!

i've had risotto once. it was served at prom and it was very good. i like the corn in this one just because i really love creamed corn, so this is probably somewhat similar.
- November 5, 2008 at 7:20 AM
This does sound very good.
I have made it on the stovetop MANY times... which makes me hesitant to try it in the crock... but I trust your judgment, so maybe I'll give it a whirl :)
- November 5, 2008 at 7:30 AM
- Ali said...
This recipe sounds absolutely delicious. I usually serve some kind of corn dish at Thanksgiving and I think this would be a fun twist on that, plus cooking it in the crockpot frees up some of the coveted stove/oven space.

Arborio rice can be quite expensive, so for those of us being frugal, I buy the rice in the Hispanic section..the La Prefereda brand. It's called something like Pearl rice. Works wonderfully for MUCH cheaper! As for gluten, you'd have to check, of course. I don't watch for that so have no idea.
- November 5, 2008 at 9:45 AM
- David'sWife said...
By "check on" every 45 minutes, do you mean stir it?
BTW, I'm in love with your site. I've been cooking so much more for my family.
If you are looking for something different for next year, you can do cool stuff in a rice cooker!

Hi David's Wife!
I lifted the lid, and used a fork to remove a rice grain or two. They were still crunchy until right at the 2 hr mark. I didn't really stir, but I don't think it's a big deal if you want to.

Did you know that if you eat this, the corn will come out whole in your poop? We just studied this in biology: the corn kernal husk/case is made of cellulose which the body can not digest so it goes all the way thru ya.
Think of that as you're eating your fancy pants risotto. =) And I love you.
- November 5, 2008 at 10:29 AM
What a delicious-sounding recipe!
I've been reading your blog for months and just found out a couple of weeks ago that I might have celiac disease. Because of you, I have some wonderful, EASY recipes to try. Thank you so much!!!

Any suggestions on substitutions for arborio rice. I like to stay with brown rice, but the asian market just got this new stuff and I bought some hoping that I could try that.
I really want to try the breakfast one.!!
- November 5, 2008 at 1:20 PM
- Kelly the Kitchen Kop said...
I'm a new reader. Can't wait to try this one, only I'll use real cream, it really is much better/healthier for us than "fat free half & half".

I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a question about your blog NOT pertaining to the crockpot.
I just found your website listed in a Blog her newsletter I received; I've just become a member.
HOW do you get 3 columns on your blog? I dont know how!!!
- November 6, 2008 at 6:51 AM
- Becca said...
I just found your website and am making this to go with our dinner tonight. Thank you for such a great site. I put this recipe on my blog, and a link back to you, since I love using my crock pot!
- November 10, 2008 at 5:11 PM
- Mary said...
I made this one last week. I think mine had too much garlic. I would mince it and use half the amount next time. I used a real chopped onion instead of flakes and I think that was the only substitution. Also, the amount of red pepper was way too much (I used cayenne not flakes, which I think was right).
I was hoping my kids would eat it but the garlic and heat were too much. I might try it again and see if I can get the seasonings right, because I've got a big box of arborio rice to use up.
- November 20, 2008 at 5:00 AM
I LOVE this recipe! My family loved it so much, I had to make it two days in a row so my 5-year-old could eat more. (I wasn't sad about that.)
I love this site and have referred people to it many times, starting with my fave right here!
- June 3, 2009 at 7:26 AM
- Lisa said...
This is an excellent recipe! Loved it! Mine was actually done perfectly in 1 hour and 45 minutes. I used my large crockpot, so that might account for the shorter cooking time! Thanks so much for the recipe!
- October 30, 2009 at 4:11 PM
- Athena said...
Yum! Loved this, I used brown rice and added to the cooking time. Best use of brown rice yet and made it a not so guilty pleasure! Makes a good breakfast too.

Hi! I love love love your blog. It has been so beneficial to me over the last 9 months, as we have added a new baby to the home! A quick question about this recipe: does it freeze well? I'm trying to have more quick meals on hand for lunches and such! Thank you so much!
- April 16, 2012 at 7:17 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
good morning! You know, I really don't know for sure because I haven't tried freezing this particular dish, but my gut tells me it'll be just fine. Corn is pretty hearty, and the cream will freeze and reheat well. I've been pretty impressed at how many foods freeze nicely after being cooked (just don't freeze raw potatoes! :-) )
I hope this helps a bit!
- April 16, 2012 at 7:27 AM
- JewelyaZ said...
OK, I made this, and in three years of cooking MANY things from your blog, this was only the first or second epic fail. I'm eating it because I refuse to throw away food that isn't somehow toxic or beyond terrible, but it is corn/rice glue. I'm not even going to try to figure out where it went wrong, because I followed the instructions to the letter -- I even measured!! Gordon Ramsay would have screamed over it, though, that's for sure, and he wouldn't have even called it a failed risotto. Oh well. The rest of your site has been great to me and my family and I am not deterred. LOL

Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.

My good cyber friend, Vanna (LVROFTIQUES on RMS) has some of the most beautiful and interesting antiques I've ever seen. That is why I asked her if I could feature a room in her home as my first "Share a Room Saturday". Vanna graciously consented, and I am so excited to show you this room. Hopefully, she is the first of future "Share a Room Saturday" guests on my blog, as I hope to share beautifully-decorated rooms of some friends who don't have a blog (Oops! I may have just lost all of my non-blogging friends!). Vanna not only has beautiful tiques, she is also a hoot, so I'm just going to let her take you on a tour of her gorgeous family room. I'm tellin' you, you're gonna love this.
My French Country-ish Family Room:
Howdy y'all!!My dear friend Laurie asked me to be her first guest for her "Share a room Saturday" And I'm so thrilled to be asked!This is the most country french of all my rooms (at least I think it is.....)And the room where I spend the most time. I'm so happy to share it with her (and you!*winks*)
I've decorated it almost entirely with flea market, estate sale, garage sale and Goodwill finds. So if it looks like junque? Well y'all know why! Lol!
The french armoire was a craigslist find at $250, and houses all my TV stuffs.The french chair by the window was a $125 find at a local antique store. And the antique table sitting next to it was $65 at an auction.The sofy was a consignment find at an antique store for $300. It was love at first sight! There's a whole long story that goes with it that can be viewed on RMS. But I digress.... The art nouveau planter of a mother and daughter is one of my favorite things! (You'll hear me say that a lot! *winks*)
A closeup of the coffee table (A $135 antique store find) and the mother daughter planter. Isn't it sweet?
Moving clockwise is the fireplace flanked by some of my antique 12 months of the year prints. Found at a garage sale for $10! I have them scattered all over my house.
A closeup of one of the prints. This one is September.
Still moving clockwise, one of my favorite slag lamps with one of my beloved french spelter figures.
Here is my sofy. Not the most attractive shot but you get the jist *winks*
My 1840's secretary. One of my favorite pieces of furniture. I found this at an auction for a steal, and when my hubby saw what I'd purchased he was shocked and said "It's so not you!" But I really love the beautiful old flame mahogany. Oh....and if anything sits still for very long...I'll put a tassel on it!*winks* Lol!!
Yet another favorite...Yeah I know!...AGAIN!..... There's a whole long story to go with this one too. As there are most of my stuffs *winks*But I'll give you the shorter version. My sister and I were discussing one day, which piece of art in our homes was our favorite? I told her this carved portrait of a young girl was probably mine. She said "Oh honey, I hate to break this to you...But that's a boy! He has an adams apple" And danged if she wasn't right! (Don't ever tell her I said so *winks*) Guess I'm not very observant! But WHATEVER!! It's still one of my faves! Lol!!
View from the back side of the sofy. Another one of my beloved french spelter statues. This one titled "Fleurs de Printemps" (Flowers of spring) And a bouillotte lamp that I found at the Goodwill. My DH said "The last thing you need is another lamp!" Silly man! As if anyone could ever get enough charming lamps *winks* And while I do appreciate my DH's opinion, I have found that if I love it...or even like it strongly? Well, better safe than sorry right? Lol! I'm glad I took it home. What do y'all think?
Here is a shout out for help! I have tried for years to identify what this bronze box was used for? It's victorian and features hunting motifs 8"x5".I thought maybe a cigar box? Or maybe a gentleman's dresser box? If anyone here knows please give me a holler.
On the other side of my sofy (yes I know it's a sofa....I like sofy better...I'm quirky like that. and yes....other words have also been used lol!)is my treasures armoire. Full of all kinds of whoosy whatsits. No rhyme or reason here...If I like something?...In it goes! Lol!
Some of my treasure...Oh boy, lots of stories in here!
Some plates given to me by friends and family. I love old plates!
A couple of my busts...Yep yet another collection. "What don't you collect?" you ask. Well NOT MUCH! That's fer sure! Lol!!
Love this handsome boy by the name of Virgile. And the little french general is a sweet little painting on ivory.
On the opposite side of the room is a billiards table (hubby HAD to have it!) The two dogs lounging are two of our four fur babies. Shelby (lrg) and Jewel aka/ Juju bear (pom)
In the far corner is a working telephone booth that came from a boutique hotel.It was an anniversary gift from me to my hubby (He's quirky too!)
The right side of my billiards area features a 1912 upright grand piano. One of two grands in my house...And I don't play a note! Found at a garage sale for $200.
A closeup on the french hunting relief plaques above the piano. Aren't they wonderfully detailed?
I carried this french bust titled litige (litigation) home in my lap on my last trip to france. I thought my legs would never work again! Anyhoo I collect sheep figures also. For those of you who already know me...Ya'll know I'm a bit of a black sheep *winks*
The left corner of my billiards room with a darling little bird (Rexy) from my dear friend Lynne's shop (decorator101 on RMS & you can visit her shop at Lynne's Gifts From the Heart blog) And some pix of my mom at 16.
Behind the library screen hides a pinball machine (much to my dismay) Another one of those things that hubby just "LOVED" What could I do? Some concessions had to be made for all the lamps.....Chairs....sheep......chandeliers.....Well you get the picture *winks*
Other side of the room.
Close up on the table with a darling cherub found on ebay. Sometimes you can find the neatest things for cheaps!
We've come full circle. I hope you enjoyed the tour. Are your eyes still working? Would you like a refill on that hot spiced cider? Perhaps some more cookies? Come on! Just one more won't hurt ya! Vanna
I am so grateful to Vanna for giving us this tour of her beautiful family room. Remember to stop by and see her on RMS (LVROFTIQUES). laurie

This guy has been a menace to aviation for a long time. Nice to see him finally getting clipped, hopefully for good. Shame the bastard killed someone before finally getting grounded however.
License suspensions, emergency revocations, can you run up a bigger flag that these guys operated outside the box, let alone the regs. I remember the video and story about the pier buzz job and clearly nothing was learned from the disciplinary actions of that incident. Kinda shows the porosity of the system when they can come back, start a business and kill someone, don't care about the idiot IP, and nobody knows they are still outside the box and the regs. Caveat Emptor! Be careful who you get in an airplane with! Especially if it has an experimental AC.
Most of the times these type problems and people tend to work their ways out over time.........
People are gullible and stupid who climb into a cockpit with pilots like these two. They do so with no knowledge as to the airworthiness of the equipment nor the pilot. Jail time and/or a healthy fine might be a better deterrent for hazardous operators like this.
I fully agree.
Yes, the pier buzz episode is what first earned my attention when it happened a couple of years ago since I live within easy walking distance of the Santa Monica Pier. I remembered his name when the Tehachapi crash happened and was stunned to see him in the news again in connection with the Boulder City crash.
Let's hope that they can keep him grounded. He has tried to circumvent the system at least before when the FAA revoked his license, which prompted him to get a license in Canada.
Nice place to hang your hat!
My mistake about the passenger fatality. Very sorry for the passenger and family. Also sorry for the pilots family.
Apparently no pax or ground fatalities. I hope the revocation is permanent..There go I, but for the grace of God, for many of us!!!
Actually the pilot and a paying passenger were killed in the crash.
A legacy carrier making wise business decisions. Novel concept. Smart.

The agency says hunters during the 2013 season killed 24,795 deer, compared with 21,552 during the 2012 season.
Hunters in Maine harvested 15 percent more deer this year than last. That's according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
The agency says hunters during the 2013 season killed 24,795 deer, compared with 21,552 during the 2012 season. It's the third year in a row that the harvest has increased.
That indicates that the deer population has grown after being dealt a setback during back-to-back severe winters in 2008 and 2009, officials say.
Wildlife officials say the deer kill was higher this season in nearly all of the state's 29 Wildlife Management Districts. The adult buck harvest grew by 8 percent over 2012, while the harvest of does was 24 percent higher.
Despite the higher harvest, IF&W Commissioner Chandler Woodcock says this year's severe winter could result in fewer "any deer" permits for the coming season.
"With the long, cold winter we experienced, it is prudent that we move forward thoughtfully in 2014 concerning the number of Any Deer permits issued," Woodcock says, in a statement.

Sanchez Criticism: No Holding Back Now
The Jets had the bye week to get things straight and as last week proved, nothing has changed, other than the Jets defense is better at scoring points now than their own offense. The worm has turned in New York on Mark Sanchez and deeper critique of the team's quarterback is ramping way up. Brian Costello writes in the New York Post that the Jets front office needs to admit the mistake that Mark Sanchez has been for this organization.
It has become clear now that Sanchez never is going to be a franchise quarterback. He was a capable one during his first two years when the Jets had a dominating defense and a strong supporting cast on offense.
But over the past two years, Sanchez has been asked to elevate his own game and that of those around him. He has failed miserably, continuing to make the same mistakes he made as a rookie.
Sanchez has seven games left to salvage this season and save his own career as well as the men who drafted him. Sanchez will be back with the Jets next season. The $8.25 million guaranteed he has coming to him in 2013 ensures it. But if his play does not improve dramatically by the end of the year, the Jets must bring in competition for him next year — true competition.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
For years the criticism has revolved around passing percentage, decision making, ball security, but open rebellion about Sanchez's upside seems like a new discussion and shows you how far he's fallen, and how fast it's happened.
Here's the best I can describe it. Mark Sanchez is like a scarecrow, unless he's propped up by someone else he can't be expected to do it on his own. Mark Sanchez might be a master of the play-action, but that's a brilliant example. He needs a legitimate running game to even excel at one of the things he's best at. His arm hasn't gotten better, his decisions haven't gotten appreciably better, so what's he left with?
As we wrote on Monday, Sanchez isn't the answer and if he was, we'd have seen much more to this point. For years we've waited for him to elevate his game, but the time for patience is over. Granted, the talent around him has declined, but his results haven't even held steady.
At this point, Mark Sanchez has less than half a season (and maybe even less than that) to demonstrate any value that he can offer the team. It has nothing to do with Tebow everything to do with Sanchez's inability to get the job done that he was brought in to do. As best I can compare, he's the Jason Bay equivalent for this organization. His play is holding everything else back.

While snakeskin and leopard-print pieces might have captured the fashion world's collective imagination as of late, we've noticed that top tastemakers have another way of showing their affinity for animals. Rather than focusing on patterns, ladies like Mary-Kate Olsen, Liv Tyler, and industry insiders are opting for more literal depictions and wearing everything from cows to cats on their sleeves and skirts! They're listening to their animal instincts--and so should you!
To see the best runway examples of this trend, we suggest checking out the Balenciaga Pre-Fall 11 collection and the Marc by Marc Jacobs F/W 11 show. At the former, we spotted one animal-graphic piece--a German Shepherd-emblazoned Cashmere Sweater ($925, 212.206.0872)--that designer Nicolas Ghesquière paired with a Wool and Silk Skirt ($765, 212.206.0872), Leather Belt ($575, similar styles available at 212.206.0872), and Bronze Leather Stilettos ($675, 212.206.0872). While Ghesquière limited himself to a single item, Marc Jacobs designed numerous animal pieces for the Marc by Marc F/W 11 show. Our favorite look, as seen in the large image above, centers on the Panthera Lurex Jacquard Skirt ($358, available at Marc by Marc Jacobs stores) in Normandy Blue Multi and is accented with the Bellini Stripe Blouse ($428, available at Neiman Marcus soon) and the Airmail Suede Clutch ($328, available at Shopbop.com soon) in Log Cabin. Additionally, Jacobs showed deer-emblazoned bags on the runway, though sadly these purses were not produced. It's worth noting that both collections styled the animal-instinct pieces the same way: with streamlined, dark separates that use texture (sheer details, nubby fabric) to add interest.
Off the runways, we've noticed that most fashion-forward dressers are wearing these animal-festooned items in slightly more playful ways. For example, one of our favorite editors--Taylor Tomasi Hill, Marie Claire's Style and Accessories Director--was snapped during NYFW a few months ago wearing a subtle take on this trend. She paired a Burberry Prorsum Cashmere Sweater with Embroidered Cow Detail ($2195, 212.407.7100) with a Sportmax collar and a vintage Fenton skirt, resulting in a sleek and chic look. About a month later Liv Tyler also tried the trend, this time in Paris at the Givenchy F/W 11 show. The stunning actress selected two pieces from the Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci F/W 11 menswear collection, specifically the Rottweiler Printed Sweatshirt ($440) and Smocking Jacket ($2915, available at Barneys New York soon).
In addition to these darker neutral pieces, we also appreciate the lighter animal-instinct items seen on Mary-Kate Olsen and model Le Call. The former was snapped leaving Nobu in Tribeca last month wearing a vintage sweater with an oversized fox print, leather leggings by The Row, and a Marni bag. The sweater is such an interesting choice and its gigantic graphics give Olsen's whole look a touch of humor. We also appreciate the Deyrolle Pour Opening Ceremony Long Skirt ($280) in Cat Sand that Le Call picked for a Byrdie Bell-hosted lunch celebrating NAHM, a collection by Alexandria Hilfiger and Nary Manivong. Since the print is obviously the centerpiece of the outfit, Le Call wisely opted for a simple, bisque sweater--purchased at the Brooklyn Flea Market--and understated accessories.
In the hopes that you, too, might be ready to pounce on this trend, we've gone ahead and rounded up a handful of animal-instinct items for your shopping pleasure. The easiest way to try this look is to go for a sweater or t-shirt with a single, oversized graphic, like Marcus Lupfer's Giraffe Sequin Sweater ($553), Stella McCartney's Printed Cotton Sweater ($265), or Forever 21's Chalkboard Zebra Top ($13). If you'd prefer a top with a smaller print, check out BCBGeneration's A-Line Shirred Elephant Print Tank ($88) and Topshop's Cream Cat Print Oversize Shirt ($76). (We also like the Two by Two Scarf ($95) from Kate Spade.) Or if you're not feeling like buying clothes, you can go for some animal accessories instead, like By Paige's Fox Loafers ($149.95) or Courtney Simmelkjaer's Elephant Pendant ($92). Whatever you pick up, know that this trend will stay strong through autumn, so you're making a smart and chic shopping decision!

By John Warren, Marketing & Sales Director, Georgetown University Press
Last week I had the pleasure of attending George Washington University's 5th Annual Conference on Ethics and Publishing, an event with the theme of "Preserving, Protecting and Enhancing the Publishing Ecosystem" and featuring some of the bright minds of academic and general publishing. My friend Mike Shatzkin of the Idea Logical Company, who writes the essential publishing blog The Shatzkin Files, had alerted me to the conference, but I was pleased to see some other familiar names and faces in the day's line up.
Niko Pfund, President of Oxford University Press, offered a glimpse into Oxford's strategy and some great case studies in e-book marketing. Shatzkin ran through a sobering summary of the Department of Justice's case against the big six publishers and Apple, and discussed the possible unintended and negative consequences of the settlement for publishers, and by extension, for the diversity and health of publishing. (Shatzkin is quoted prominently in Ken Auletta's recent New Yorker article about the case.) An in-depth look at higher education and K–12 publishing was provided by Al Greco, a professor of marketing at Fordham University. I had a hard time, however, discerning the connection to ethics through most of these presentations.
The highlights came from two speakers on the indie side of the equation: Lissa Muscatine, who passionately described her and husband Bradley Graham's decision to purchase, just over a year ago, the iconic Washington, DC, bookstore Politics and Prose; and Dennis Loy Johnson, president of Melville House, who quite eloquently articulated the passion, potency, and peril of independent publishing in the Kindle age.
The day following the conference, I was able to spend some time with Dennis. We'd met ten years ago, when we had neighboring booth space at Book Expo America, the nation's annual publishing confab. That was shortly after he and his wife, sculptor Valerie Merians, had become publishers, a decision that emerged from the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Then, I couldn't help but admire his fervor, which the intervening decade has not dissipated. Among other things, he told me about the remarkable story of publishing Hans Fallada's novel, Every Man Dies Alone. Dennis described how the novel, originally written shortly after World War II and overlooked for forty years hence, became a phenomenon largely due to the enthusiastic support of independent booksellers, stores such as Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh, NC.
The amazing backstory of Every Man Dies Alone, and how the book came to be published, reminded me of a nonfiction work which Georgetown University Press will be publishing in early 2013: Jan Karski's Story of a Secret State. Melville House's book is a novel, based on a true incident, while Georgetown's is nonfiction, but both describe amazing acts of resistance, of passion and heroism in the face of Nazi oppression, and both are works being brought to new audiences in the digital age. Karski, a member of the Polish Underground, was one of the first people who tried to warn the West about the Holocaust. (Karski was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama, on May 29, 2012.) I just finished reading the manuscript, and look forward to helping to bring Karski's story, relatively unknown in the United States, the attention it deserves.

Rockstar's take on the character is much more gritty and dark, and often feels weighed down by over-seriousness. But occasionally, the game will toss a nod to the series' roots by making an absurd reference.
My favorite of these is the moment in the video above, when Max discovers a trashed, out-of-tune piano in a run-down building in Brazil. The piano could be a metaphor for Max—beat up, broken, but still playing that same old tune. I particularly love how the game's actual soundtrack (which is astonishingly good in its own right) plays a lead-in chord to the piano solo, with Max resolving the unresolved cadence.
And what does he choose to play? Why, what else but the classic theme from the original game.
"And, for a few seconds, came harmony. Finally."

Sesame seeds add authentic flavor to the chicken; Peppers and onions add sweetness, finished off by a punch from the ginger. This stir-fry is sure to be a crowd pleaser!
Serves: 4
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
2 tbsps whole grain flour
1 tbsp Chinese five spice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tbsp truvia
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp peeled fresh ginger (grated)
½ red pepper, sliced
½ yellow pepper, sliced
½ onion, sliced
1 garlic clove (minced)
2 chicken breasts
2 tbsps sesame seeds
2 tsps sesame oil
1. Combine whole grain flour with Chinese five spice, truvia, and cinnamon.
2. Toast sesame seeds in a pan, heated with sesame oil.
3. Dip chicken in flour & spice mixture, coating each piece completely.
4. Sear chicken in pan with sesame seeds.
5. Grate ginger and add to pan with garlic.
6. Continue searing both sides, soaking in the juices.
7. Add onions, sweet peppers and soy sauce. Cook and sauté together.

Tip from Binks: Make this one when you have a little extra time, as this stir-fry does not hold up well when pre-made!

Knicks NBA's Most Valuable Franchise
Brian DiMenna
Great news, folks!
According to Forbes magazine, the Knicks are the NBA's most valuable franchise, worth an estimated $1.1 billion and just eking out the struggling Lakers whose mounting losses on the court have taken their toll on the franchise as its now valued at merely $1 billion, a paltry sum indeed.
Forbes credits the Knicks' massive renovation of Madison Square Garden for the spike in New York's valuation, meaning there's a pretty direct correlation between ease of peeing at home games and a franchise's overall value.
No word yet on how much each fan gets, but I'm pretty sure we either get $1,000 or a free t-shirt (Ed. Note: We don't get either).

Re: Am I eligible?
No b/c on the MEPS paperwork, it specifically asks you "Have you ever been charged...." and then goes to ask "Have you ever had your record expunged.....".
Mr.Incognito will chime in, but I think it's safe to say that while having it expunged will make your civilian life easier (don;t have to report it, etc), it still hurts your enlistment.
Re: Am I eligible?
Originally posted by WP002 View PostThank you, thats what I thought, I have one more question does getting it expunged make any difference at all.
The only arrests the military completely overlooks are those what were acquittals and dismissals WITHOUT PREJUDICE. (This means there were no conditions, like probation or drug classes for example).
With all that said, you don't specify if you were convicted of either offense, if you were than TxIntel is giving good "intel".
With even that said, if they were only arrests or arrests with conviction it is still highly encouraging to get them expunged if your state allows you too....you have a long life ahead of you and that could only help, not hurt.
Re: Am I eligible?
Thanks for the Intel Tx, as for the offenses I should have been more concise, I was convicted on both, however as a stipulation on the latter's guilty plea the charge would have to be expunged free of charge after a certain number of years without any offenses. There were other stipulations that gave me a more favorable outcome in the case, but the only prejudice that gave me the advantage was the prejudice of the shoddy arrest. This however is irrelevant the charge is still there and will always be there in the eyes of the military and law enforcement. It's a shame that stupid kids don't realize the consequences of their actions until their grown.
