"I have a big surprise for you," Jin Soon, fashion's favorite manicurist, says backstage at Derek Lam's show, "it's nude!" Indeed, the big nail story for fall is nude, but it does come in different shapes and sizes.
At Reed Krakoff, lead manicurist Michelle Saunders painted Essie's Matte Top Coat ($8) over the brand's Mademoiselle ($8) for a buffed look. At Marchesa, Soon used Marchesa x Revlon's ($5) Grey Suede (the title's deceiving) to elongate the fingers. At Altuzarra, Saunders created a sheer French manicure, while at Donna Karan, Milly, and Helmut Lang, manicurists used Essie's Ridge Filling Base Coat ($8) to make sure the nails looked strong and healthy, while opaque nudes ruled at Band of Outsiders, Jason Wu, and rag & bone.
Of course, not everyone went nude! There were sparkles and glitter and yes, even some nail art. The week's most inspiring manicures, above!
The Manicures You Need to See From New York Fashion Week
"I have a big surprise for you," Jin Soon, fashion's favorite manicurist, says backstage at Derek Lam's show, "it's nude!" Indeed, the big nail story for fall is nude, but it does come in different shapes and sizes.

Vera Wang
At Vera Wang, Jin Soon used her own nail polish ($18) in Mica for Wang's "dark, romance" themed collection.
- 2 of 32
Creatures of Comfort
Butter London's lead manicurist, Katie Jane Hughes, painted marbled nails by dropping different shades of polish into a bowl of water, swirling them around, and then dipping each nail into the paint to capture the rings of color.
- 3 of 32
Rodarte's fall collection was inspired by childhood nostalgia, so naturally the nails were princess-like, coated in one layer of Sally Hansen's Lacquer in Pink Dream, an iridescent glitter that's out next September.
- 4 of 32
Jenny Packham
Subtle nail art feels fresh, like the delicate Solaris designs that Saunders painted on models' ring fingers at Jenny Packham. She dipped a bobby pin in Essie's Wrapped in Rubies, Penny Talk, and Hors D'Oeuvres ($8) to paint the design dot by dot.
- 5 of 32
DKNY's street style-heavy collection meant pavement inspired nails. Saunders used Essie's Nail Polish ($8) in Smokin Hot on top of the brand's Blanc for a sort of inverted French manicure.
- 6 of 32
Sure it's nude, but Soon used her matte, confetti-like glitter ($18) in Polka White on top for texture.
- 7 of 32
- 8 of 32
Karen Walker
Jin Soon's Nail Polish ($18) in Kookie White, a powdery, pale blue, complemented the dark blues and blacks of Karen Walker's menswear-inspired collection.
- 9 of 32
Tadashi Shoji
Inspired by Tadashi Shoji's Moorish references, Hughes painted half-moons and tips gold with Butter London's Nail Lacquer ($15) in Marbs.
- 10 of 32
Opening Ceremony
Manicurist Naomi Yasuda, working with Essie, played with negative space at Opening Ceremony. Depending on the outfit, geometric shapes were painted with the brand's polish ($8) in Aruba Blue, Go Overboard, or Master Plan.
- 11 of 32
Wes Gordon
The models at Wes Gordon were given "wicked" French manicures by Essie artist Rita Remark. Score the dark burgundy base by layering one coat of polish ($8) in Penny Talk underneath one coat of Bordeaux.
- 12 of 32
3.1 Phillip Lim
At 3.1 Phillip Lim, the designer debuted the first of nine nail polishes he's designing with Nars. Crossroads, a deep, dark purple, hit beauty counters this summer.
- 13 of 32
At Honor, Deborah Lippmann celebrated Valentine's Day a few days early by painting pink and red "peek-a-boo crescents" in Break 4 Love ($18) and It's Raining Men ($18).
- 14 of 32
ICB x Prabal Gurung
Hughes used Butter London's Nail Lacquer ($15) in Jack Black and various shades of blue to create a tweed effect at ICB x Prabal Gurung.

PAWTUCKET — The city's fire marshal, a 25-year veteran of the Pawtucket Fire Department, is under investigation for putting his girlfriend's daughter on his health insurance family plan for about 10 months last year, city officials say.
Fire Capt. Steven Parent, who has been fire marshal for about two years, found himself in the hot seat this week after being featured on reporter Jim Hummel's on-line news website "The Hummel Report."
Hummel questioned Parent, who was on his way to work, on-camera about how and why he had added his girlfriend's daughter to his city-paid Blue Cross family plan some 16 months ago.
Hummel pointed out in his report that the young woman had submitted medical claims totaling almost $3,000 while under Parent's plan (which also covered his ex-wife and two daughters at the time). He also noted that the city is self-insured, so it has to pay directly for all claims made on its policies. Later in the report, Hummel noted that Parent wrote a check of reimbursement to the city for the amount of the claims eight days after he had confronted him about the issue.
Parent told Hummel that he and the young woman's mother had been planning to get married and in July of 2011 he had asked to have the young woman covered under his health plan because there had been some family issues.

Getting to Know Lesley, How She Works, and What Makes Her Tick
Lesley Dill Visits SMOA
Lesley Dill invites us into her world of wonder and whimsical invention as she gives physical presence to the written word. She draws upon a unique vocabulary of visual metaphors, enhancing our interpretation of verbal communication. With intuition she informs and expands our understanding of ourselves, as she amplifies the deeper meaning of the spoken language through her exquisite works of art.
She is a powerful performer who magically transforms a multitude of materials—paper and bronze, fabric and foil, metal strands, horsehair and more—into stunning similes. Her visible poetry merges form and content, crafting a contemplative, expressive and spiritual journey for all of us to explore.
Lesley Dill is an artist whose work is pure revelation, forthright and insightful. She wanders the byways of the mind, body, and spirit, taking care to observe the currents of passion, pleasure and pain. To describe Lesley's artwork in a purely straightforward manner would severely limit its intent and its emotional generosity.
Producing her work demands ritualistic and fastidious attention to repetitive detail, a "labor of love" that provides and meditative focus. Each piece is unique and articulated in meticulous detail. Her voice is heard and her presence is felt in every sculpture, print, photograph, drawing, installation, performance and her opera, "Divide Light."
There have been several highly significant events in Leslie's journey that have had enduring impact on her work and life. The first was an encounter with a prophetic experience when she was only fourteen years old, a vision which ultimately became her truth: she was destined to be an artist.
Receiving a book of Emily Dickinson's poems from her mother on her fortieth birthday was certainly momentous. As a result of reading these poems, (and other poets) she embarked on a new course in her artistic endeavors. Transforming their words into her art became essential. Words are embedded, obvious or hidden, in all her subsequent creative expression. To quote Lesley, "language is my touchstone, the pivot point of all my work."
Living in New Delhi, India, for two years, surrounded by a completely unfamiliar culture and hearing unintelligible speech was intense and interesting. in her studio in New Delhi, she wanted to recreate this melodic unintelligibility in art work and made a waterfall of white words with the poem by Emily Dickinson, "Dare you See a Soul att he White Heart."
"As Dill has so eloquently reiterated, throughout her career, the point isn't just that we are all figuratively made of vitally resonant text and image, but that there's nothing bloodless about it. The use if metaphor isn't to escape the messiness of existence, but to situate it in a truer context, one where neither idea nor flesh has ascendency and the struggle between them produces a rough but ultimately consoling harmony."
From an article by J. Gluckstern, published in ART PAPERS, January/February 2003, Art and Letters, Lesley Dill's Visionary Poetics.
A native of New England, Dill currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She has a Master of Arts for Teaching from Smith College, and a Master of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute of Art. Dill's work is internationally recognized. She has been the focus of several exhibitions, including two that have toured nationally. Her work is in the collections of numerous major American museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; the Cleveland Museum of Art, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta; the Kemper museum, Kansas City and the Yale University Art Gallery among many others. Awards include: The Anonymous Was a Woman Award in 2008, the Rockefeller Foundation Multi Artists Production Award with Tom Morgan, the MICA Alumna Award, both in 2007, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant in 1996, a New York Foundation for the Arts Award in Drawing/Printmaking in 1995 and a National Endowment for the Arts Sculpture Fellowship in 1990. She is represented by the George Adams Gallery, New York and the Arthur Roger Gallery, New Orleans.
We offer many thanks to the galleries noted above and to the Landfall Press and Graphicstudio for lending her work to SMOA for ARTmuse.
A Conversation with Lesley Dill at the Sarasota Museum of Art
Sarasota Visual Art joined in on a Q & A with the Brooklyn artist at the future home of SMOA. The following are excerpts from this meeting...
from Sarasota Visual Art
What artists influence you the most in your career?
Giacometti, because of that strong fragility. He could make a real teeny, teeny, little person and yet there's such strength. My early work that I rarely exhibit, I actually carved wood that looked like him. I was learning to be an artist, so you kind of apprentice yourself and get what you need from it. Later it was Giacometti, then Phillip Guston, and eventually Francis Bacon who made me realize, "O.K. I cannot do Giacometti because he has already done it", so you get to that point where you want to enter the field because art is actually a research field- its not just about your feelings, what your childhood was about. When you enter into the art realm you are entering into a research field, and you are hoping to contribute some small sign—a symbol. So in response to not being able to do Giacometti, I thought, "You know, I can make clothing that is delicate and fragile and still have a feeling of strength for sculpture." And it wasn't a thought, it was like an, 'ah ha!' moment – you know and you just do it, you don't think of the answer.
Have you given any consideration to the permanence of your work?
Yes, I consider myself to be a very ethical artist. Paper is one of the most archival things. I use material with a pH acid balance to it so it really lasts a long time. I always try to work with excellent paper because of the pH balance.
How were you discovered, what had you done?
I didn't live in New York until I was 30. I thought I'll just apply to grad schools and my husband won't mind. I got rejected from every school except the Maryland institute. Before that, I had five teaching jobs. You have to work; work to make money to support yourself, to make art you have to be ruthless and disciplined. After ten years of awful art I feel I got lucky. I went to galleries and made friends. Then I got accoladed with galleries. Its really important to exhibit your work.
Where did your love of language develop?
When I was a child. I was asthmatic when I was little, and even today I get sinus infections. I was a sickly child, so I read a lot. I read all of Nancy Drew, Little Women, and from that a world of secrets formed in my mind. I love that.
What is your relationship to other languages?
Living in New Delhi, India for two years was very influential to me. My husband had a job and we lived in a really nice neighborhood. Out in the streets was Hindi. A beautiful language … I allowed myself to not decipher it, I just let it be. I then started to love the presence of the language. I have found that traveling, and good friends from other places, that there is something great about someone that speaks in a language I have no access to.
Do you make time for reading?
"Oh my God!" I read all the time. That's part of the engaged reverie. The reading is where my work comes from. That's how I found home, from language. I read all kinds of things. I have been reading The Shedding Season. Now I'm interested in violence and gentleness, reading Steven Pinker's new book. His earlier work is, "On Language". I like to balance readings.
What aspects of the contemporary art world would you change if you could?
I can't, I don't mean to be rude. You know I am not a real socialite, you know there are people who love that and I am not much of that so maybe it should change itself. Honestly, I think the art world does recognize art. I believe that there is common knowledge that you look at it and you can do a group vote. When you have a museum and you don't like something, or are mad at something you will have a group vote- you will find you have clubs. You will have a color club, you will have a political club, there will be the sexual weird club. Art is a big wide philosophy that invites you, it is also a place of silence like a museum.

3. Collection of Personally Identifiable Information for Children Under 13
If you are under 13 and want to sign up for email marketing or enter a contest or sweepstakes, we have implemented the following processes:
Mailing List Registration
With regard to the general "Mailing List" registration at our Websites, we have a separate "Mailing List" registration process for kids who state that they are under the age of 13. Children under the age of 13 will only be asked to provide their first name, age, and parent's/guardian's email address. abercrombie kids will then send the parent/guardian an email notice and a request that the parent complete the "Mailing List" sign up for their child. After abercrombie kids sends the email notice to the parent to request that the parent complete the "Mailing List" sign up and consent, abercrombie kids does not add the child's name or age, or the email address of the parent provided by the child to its systems (however, if the parent has separately signed up for email, that email address may be in our systems). Before the child can receive emails and other promotional materials from abercrombie kids, the child's parent/guardian must consent by completing the child's "Mailing List" registration information. Whenever a parent/guardian completes and submits the child's "Mailing List" registration information, abercrombie kids will send the parent/guardian a confirmation email notification.
If a parent/guardian does not wish to consent by completing their child's "Mailing List" registration with abercrombie kids, the parent/guardian may decline completing the "Mailing List" sign up and consent. Should a parent/guardian initially consent to their child's registration by completing the "Mailing List" registration, they can cancel that consent at any time and request deletion of their child's personal information by emailing such a request to abercrombie kids at email@example.com.
Contest or Sweepstakes Entries
For each contest or sweepstakes we conduct for children who indicate that they are under the age of 13 (or other age as specified in the official rules for the contest or sweepstakes), we will only collect a child's first name and a parent's/guardian's email address. abercrombie kids will then send the parent/guardian an email notice and a request that the parent complete the "Contest or Sweepstakes" sign-up for their child. After abercrombie kids sends the email notice to the parent to request that the parent complete the "Contest or Sweepstakes" entry form and consent, abercrombie kids does not add the child's name or age, or the email address of the parent provided by the child to its systems (however, if the parent has separately signed up for email, that email address may be in our systems). Before the child will be entered in the contest or sweepstakes, the child's parent/guardian must consent by completing the child's "Contest or Sweepstakes" registration information.
If a parent/guardian does not wish to consent to their child's entry into the "Contest or Sweepstakes" with abercrombie kids, the parent/guardian may decline completing the "Contest or Sweepstakes" entry form and consent. The "Contest or Sweepstakes" entry form and consent may also allow a parent/guardian to register their child to receive ongoing emails and other promotional materials from abercrombie kids. Should a parent/guardian initially consent by completing the "Contest or Sweepstakes" entry form and consent or by electing to register their child to receive ongoing emails and other promotional materials from abercrombie kids, the parent/guardian can cancel that consent at any time and request deletion of their child's personal information by emailing such a request to abercrombie kids at email@example.com.
Review of Information Provided About a Child
For parents/guardians who have completed their child's "Mailing List" or "Contest" or "Sweepstakes" registration, they can review the personally-identifiable information they provided about their child online by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or a letter or postcard to the postal mailing address provided under "Contact Us" below. When making a written request to review such information, please be sure to include your email address and telephone number where we can reach you. To protect your child's privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the personal information that you provide and we maintain about your child.
4. Information Collected within the "A&F Credit Card" Link on the Website

Buda Castle Labyrinth
Under Castle Hill, as part of the vast Castle Hill cave system, a labyrinth has been located. It is the easiest one to visit, as there are no ladders to climb...
just stairs...
The Turks had transformed the original drip-stone caves into a system of tunnels and cellars.
During World War 2 the labyrinth served as a bomb shelter. Today, the Buda Castle Labyrinth features a little well, which has real red wine flowing from it. You can also find some pre-historic cave-paintings - children, too, love the place.

REQUIEM FOR A YOUNG ISLANDERS FANMichael Mulhall loved hockey and the NYI
9:15 pm: As the rest of New York learns more about the tragically brief life stories of Jamie and Paige Malone and Michael Mulhall, the devastation only grows deeper. The three friends, killed in an auto accident on the Meadowbrook Parkway on their way to work Thursday as counselors as Camp Anchor, symbolized the very pride of Long Island.
Run by the Town of Hempstead, Anchor is a camp for the handicapped that is open every weekday in the summer and hosts evening programs in the winter. More than 700 children with special needs attend each summer. They learn to swim and about art and music and dance. They go on day trips to the movies and the Bronz Zoo and the circus. Anchor counselors, as Jamie, Paige and Michael were, start at age 13. Those judged to be among the best after three years are offered a staff position for minimum wage.
A father of a youth counselor – whose children were friends with Michael and the Malone girls – wrote Point Blank over the weekend. "No one who works at Anchor does it for the money," he wrote. "They are an incredible bunch, these kids. They are a tight-knit group who spend all day working at the camp and then spend their evenings planning the nexy day's activities. These are the cream of the crop of Long Island youth. They have the biggest hearts in the world."
Many of the youngsters who work at Anchor do so in honor of siblings who are handicapped. Today, we learned a little more about Michael Mulhall, whose funeral is Tuesday in Floral Park, from a young girl named Kelly N. To give you an idea of the threads that run through Camp Anchor, Kelly is a triplet. The brothers born with her have Autism. This is what Kelly had to say about her friend Michael, a passionate Islanders fan whose life was cut short on the parkway on Thursday morning.
Mike lived for hockey and the Islanders. It was the one thing beside Anchor that he was passionate about. He was a good player. He played at Chaminade. In college, he played at Scranton and lived with the club hockey team in an old colonial house that they patterned after Animal House. He was so full of life. And now he's gone. He would have been thrilled that Islanders Country remembered him.
Michael Mulhall, who left us at the age of 22, is not going to be forgotten.
His family has requested that donations be made in his memory – where else? – to Camp Anchor. The program has created the Anchor Building Fund with hopes of constructing a building so it can take care of those with special needs year-round. For a life-long Islanders fan like Michael, who will no longer get to see his favorite Islander, John Tavares, play again, here's a chance for Islanders Country to remember him.
If you are in position to send anything, let them know your donation comes from a fellow follower with Michael of the Orange and Blue and send it in the name of Michael Mulhall to:
Camp Anchor Building Fund
630 Lido Blvd.
Lido Beach, NY 11561
Thank you for the consideration. Comments are welcomed.

Blacksmiths Craft New Armour For Vatican Swiss Guard
Fire reflects in Blacksmith Georg Schmidberger eyes on January 21,... NyhetsfotoHorisontell,Kulturer,Molln,Mänskligt intresse,Öga,ÖsterrikePhotographer Mathias KniepeissCollection: Getty Images News 2013 Getty ImagesMOLLN, AUSTRIA - JANUARY 21: Fire reflects in Blacksmith Georg Schmidberger eyes on January 21, 2013 in Molln, Austria. The Vatican has contracted Schmiede Schmidberger to manufacture 80 new sets of armour in a project that will take 7 years to complete. Most of the existing armour worn by the Swiss Guard dates back at least 100 years, when people were generally smaller than they are today, hence the existing armour does not fit today's bulkier guards. Schmiede Schmidberger is a family-run operation that has been in existence since the year 1350. (Photo by Mathias Kniepeiss/Getty Images)

Your ticket to this events includes both THE HUNGER GAMES and THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE!
Tickets are also on sale for regular screenings of THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE!
Here is your chance to brush up on THE HUNGER GAMES right before the premiere of THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE. In THE HUNGER GAMES Katniss Everdeen voluntarily takes her younger sister's place in the Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death in which two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of Panem are chosen at random to compete. In THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) are booked on a Victors' Tour, where they must pretend -- for publicity purposes -- to be irresistibly attracted to each other. In reality, Katniss is struggling with unresolved feelings about her neighbor Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), a longtime friend and fellow hunter. Romantic trials and tribulations are about to take a back seat, however, to a new crisis. All the glitz and glamour of the tour can't disguise the fact that Panem is falling into pandemonium. Revolts in several Districts spark violence and a crackdown on dissent by the sinister President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and his associates.
But the worst is yet to come: Katniss and Peeta are summoned to the Capitol to compete in the brutal Quarter Quell, which pits them against other former Hunger Games champions in a battle involving a perilous jungle, toxic mists, mutant animals and maddening "jabberjays" that inflict psychological torture on all who hear them. At the controls are the bloodthirsty Gamemakers, who have a personal interest in making sure that Katniss does not score a repeat victory.

MASSENA - Massena Mayor James F. Hidy is urging Massena residents and business owners to obey a local ordinance requiring requiring all residents to remove the snow from the sidewalks in front of their home and/or business.
Mr. Hidy said a lack of snow removal on sidewalks has been a particular problem this year, due to the recent snowstorms that have left more than two feet of snow across the region.
We got snowed on very heavily and we want people to help their neighbors out, Mr. Hidy said.
He acknowledged the village possesses two sidewalk plows, but said they are limited in how much snow they can clear.
According to the village code, steps, walks, driveways, parking spaces and similar paved areas shall be maintained so as to afford safe passage under normal use and weather conditions.
It notes that all snow, ice and other obstruction upon any public sidewalk shall be removed for the length of the property frontage by the owner or occupant of the adjoining land as soon as possible following the cessation of snowfall or frozen precipitation.
If a public sidewalk is coated with ice that cant be removed, the owner and occupant of the premise abutting thereon shall as an alternative to said removal of the ice, cause such public sidewalks to be made safe and convenient for pedestrians by covering the ice with sand or other substance, he code says.
The ordinance also requires citizens to dig out the snow around any fire hydrants on their property. It notes that all snow and ice accumulation higher than a point four inches below the bottom of the lowest outlet on any fire hydrant and within a radius of three feet from the center of such hydrant shall be removed by the owner and occupant of the premises adjoining the hydrant.
Massena Fire Chief Thomas C. Miller said residents digging out fire hydrants on their property could significantly reduce his departments response times to fires. When a hydrant is buried, first responders have to dig through snow banks in order to locate it, which could take a lot of time, he said.
It would be very beneficial for people in the neighborhood to remove the snow around the fire hydrants, Mr. Miller said.
Violating the ordinance could result in fines between $25 and $100, depending on whether the person has been cited for violating the ordinance in the past.
Mr. Hidy believes fines shouldnt be necessary in order to prompt residents to remove snow from the sidewalks and fire hydrants on their property.
People my age and older remember the days when there were no sidewalk plows, and people took care of snow removal themselves, he said.

A gentle man, he's found solace in the sweetness of the fruit he grows and the quiet, beating heart of the land he cultivates. One day, two teenage girls appear and steal his fruit at the market; they later return to the outskirts of his orchard to see the man who gave them no chase.
Feral, scared, and very pregnant, the girls take up on Talmadge's land and indulge in his deep reservoir of compassion. Just as the girls begin to trust him, men arrive in the orchard with guns, and the shattering tragedy that follows will set Talmadge on an irrevocable course not only to save and protect them but also to reconcile the ghosts of his own troubled past.
Transcribing America as it once was before railways and roads connected its corners, Amanda Coplin weaves a tapestry of solitary souls who come together in the wake of unspeakable cruelty and misfortune. She writes with breathtaking precision and empathy, and in The Orchardist she crafts an astonishing debut novel about a man who disrupts the lonely harmony of an ordered life when he opens his heart and lets the world in.
"Many contemporary novelists have revisited the question of what constitutes a family, but few have responded in a voice as resolute and fiercely poetic." New York Times Book Review
"Amanda Coplin's somber, majestic debut arrives like an urgent missive from another century. You can only be thrilled by a 31-year-old writer with this depth of understanding...the final epiphany equals in stark grandeur similar scenes in Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and Pat Barker's Another World." Washington Post
"Coplin's prose is fresh and compelling....While the ending of this striking debut may not make every reader happy, it is, undoubtedly, the right one for both the book and for Talmadge, an unlikely hero who — like the book — is true to life and sweetly honest from beginning to end." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"A stunning debut...The Orchardist is a poetic book, but its strength doesn't lie solely in its language. Coplin's understanding of abuse and the lasting effects of fear and loss on the individual psyche are deeply resonant. As a debut novel, The Orchardist stands on par with Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain." The Oregonian (Portland)
"The Orchardist is engaging and enthralling. The reader wants to turn each page quickly as the story develops, and wants at the same time to dwell on the lyrical moments of sunshine, soil and love." Seattle Times
"There are echoes of John Steinbeck in this beautiful and haunting debut novel set in early-20th-century Washington State...Coplin depicts the frontier landscape and the plainspoken characters who inhabit it with dazzling clarity." Entertainment Weekly
"Amanda Coplin has depicted her northwestern landscape with such fidelity that readers will know its every sight, smell, and sound. Within this world are compelling characters and their equally compelling stories. The Orchardist is an outstanding debut." Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling author of Serena and The Cove
"[A] mysterious, compelling, elemental novel....In The Orchardist, Amanda Coplin shows us what is unknowable." Bonnie Jo Campbell, author of National Book Award finalist, American Salvage
"The Orchardist is a stunning accomplishment, hypnotic in its storytelling power, by turns lyrical and gritty, and filled with marvels. Coplin displays a dazzling sense of craftsmanship, and a talent for creating characters vivid and true." Jane Ciabattari, NPR
"A breathtaking work from a genuinely accomplished writer...Coplin's lyrical style and forceful storytelling provide many unexpected twists before the poignant conclusion." Library Journal
"Eloquent, moving...an immensely affecting first novel...Coplin refuses to sentimentalize. Instead, she demonstrates that courage and compassion can transform unremarkable lives and redeem damaged souls." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Coplin's mesmerizing debut stands out with its depictions of uniquely Western personalities and a stark, gorgeously realized landscape that will settle deeply into readers' bones." Booklist
"Beautifully written, so alive to the magnificence of the land and the intricate mysteries of human nature, that it inspires awe rather than depression." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Nearly everybody in the book compels your admiration, either for their courage or for the heavy work they do, all the time and without complaint, even when wicked men are hunting them. Transfixing. I love this book straight through." Salvatore Scibona, author of The End, National Book Award Finalist
"Coplin is a masterful writer, the teller of an epic, unvarnished tale that sits comfortably with other novels in the tradition of great American storytelling." Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of The Hour I First Believed
"Patiently beautiful, The Orchardist builds its characters and its situations so carefully that the story becomes as real to us as this morning's news. I am in awe of Amanda Coplin's book, which does not feel like a first novel but a life's work." Charles Baxter, author The Feast of Love, National Book Award Finalist
"A rare find — this debut novel that reads with masterful authority. Stately and passionate — a stunning powerhouse. The Orchardist, like Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, drills into history, portraying an apparently modest American way of life but finally presenting us with a great American elegy." Patricia Hampl, author of A Romantic Education
"This is a novel to burrow into, to be submerged in a world that is both lovely and hard. It's a world that becomes so real that one only leaves by being forced out by the closing of the covers that enfold it." Denver Post
"Coplin's grave, graceful prose gives dignity to lives that otherwise might be too sad to contemplate. Her story, which turns in unpredictable ways, is both troubling and touching." Columbus Dispatch
"A superb work from an abundantly gifted young writer" Dallas Morning News
"In the end, The Orchardist shares much in common with the fruits its protagonist nurtures: The succulent flesh of the novel will intoxicate readers early on, but delving deeper reveals a hard core that is vital, bittersweet and ultimately timeless." BookPage, Top Fiction Pick
"This is an extraordinarily ambitious and authoritative debut." Holloway McCandless, Shelf Awareness
"[A] beautiful, powerful novel...The Orchardist has the sweep and scope of a big historical novel...yet Coplin is exquisitely attuned to small, interior revolutions as well. Its language as rooted and plain as the apple trees Talmadge nurtures, this is a gorgeous first book." Boston Globe
"[T]he best first novel of 2012...the book brings to mind just how much the effect of reading about the land, the setting, with its lyric pulse, plays a role in the success of a forward moving narrative." Chicago Tribune
At once intimate and epic, The Orchardist is historical fiction at its best, in the grand literary tradition of William Faulkner, Marilynne Robinson, Michael Ondaatje, Annie Proulx, and Toni Morrison.
In her stunningly original and haunting debut novel, Amanda Coplin evokes a powerful sense of place, mixing tenderness and violence as she spins an engrossing tale of a solitary orchardist who provides shelter to two runaway teenage girls in the untamed American West, and the dramatic consequences of his actions.

|Soucek Bill Passes Senate
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 10 June 2011 05:51
State Senator Dan Soucek's bill eliminating nearly 60 North Carolina commissions and panels of the General Assembly; bill S593, passed a final vote in the Senate with broad, bipartisan support just before noon yesterday, according to an email from the Senator.
Soucek wrote yesterday, "I supported a pair of minor amendments on the Senate Floor, but remain committed to the bill's goals of beginning the discussion of and beginning to take action on reducing the size of government and increasing its effectiveness." He said "I am determined to ensure that the justification for the continued existence of any board be proof of its effectiveness rather than simply the fact that it exists or because 'it's always been done that way.'" The bill would eliminate 57 boards and commissions, but a commission led by Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton that has been working to align public schools with demands of local industries was taken out of the bill, along with the Executive Mansion Fine Arts Committee. The bill would eliminate at least three gubernatorial panels. Soucek said the 57 panels with nearly 800 positions could save $500,000, and he said some commissions proposed for elimination haven't met for more than a year.

CrockPot Gingerbread Latte Recipe
Day 359.
Santa doesn't want milk this year with his cookies. He'd like a gingerbread latte.
I think this might be my favorite coffee drink I've made. It really hit the spot yesterday around 3pm when I really, really wanted to climb into bed for a nap, but didn't have the time. After 4 or 5 sugar cookies and a latte, I was wide awake until 1am. With any luck, you too can have the same experience.
The Ingredients.
--4 cups milk (cow's, almond, soy, rice, hemp, etc. is just fine.)
--1/2 cup white sugar (I like Baker's sugar because it dissolves nicely)
--2 teaspoons ground ginger
--2 teaspoons vanilla extract
--1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
--1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
--1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
--cinnamon stick, whipped cream for garnish (optional)
--1/2 cup strong black coffee, or a freshly-brewed shot of espresso
The Directions.
This could serve 4, especially if you are adding the milk on top of coffee. Otherwise it serves 2 with a bit of milk left for kid cups.
I used a 4 quart crockpot, you could get away with going as small as a 1.5 to 2 quart.
Put the milk into your crockpot, and whisk in the dried spices. Don't add the coffee.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, or high for 1-2. The milk should be quite hot, but if your crockpot tends to get hot enough to boil, keep an eye on it. Don't let the milk boil.
Pour over hot coffee or espresso.
Garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick.
The Verdict.
These are wonderful. Very, very tasty. The kids each had a cup of the warm milk mixture with whipped cream and were delighted. Adam didn't get to try any, but I did save my mug for him to smell.
I'm thoughtful that way.
gingerbread not your thing?
peppermint mocha/hot chocolate
pumpkin spice latte
chai tea latte
mulled wine
holiday (non-alcoholic) punch

oh yay! I'm so happy to see this post. I was just about to give up, shut the computer down and pack it. I was a little sad that I wasn't going to be able to see what you posted today (driving to parents house--10 hours w/ a 2 year old! yarr!), but yaay! Here it is!
I will definitely make this, as my hubby loves this drink.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Stephanie!

With the end of the year, I felt I should take a break from lurking your blog and say thank you for all the great ideas. I've made several of them (rescuing my crock from obscurity in the process) and they have all be wonderful.
I also hope to continue to see more great ideas after the new year. Thanks again!

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday. I just wanted to let you know we made the Gingerbread Latte's for Christmas Eve and they rocked. I had some left for christmas morning. Ü I cant wait to try the other latte recipes you have.
- December 25, 2008 at 6:45 AM
These are wonderful! I made these this morning on the stovetop as a Christmas morning treat, and we loved them. They are so good! I am going to make these again in the crockpot and for my bunco group. Now I don't have to go to a certain coffee place to get one of my favorite lattes. Thank you, thank you!

My whole family had these for Christmas. I made 4 batches of it by the time all was said and done. The 2nd - 4th batch needed to be made on the stove top since they went so fast from the crockpot but it was so quick to heat on the stove top and then transfer to the crockpot. I just left the crockpot next to our coffee pot and everyone helped themselves. It was a wonderful treat! Thanks for the post! This is one of my favorite sites!
- December 26, 2008 at 6:01 AM
Thank you thank you thank you! I didn't get a chance to stop by Starbucks this season for my usual fill of Gingerbread Latte, so I'll be making this over and over again until I get my fill!
Hope you had a fabulous holiday, and thanks so much for all of the terrific recipes.

I have really enjoyed your blog ever since a friends recommended it to me about 2 months ago but have never commented before. I just want to say thank you for taking the time to post. I know that it can be time consuming and you also add such great humor to things as well. I also really appreciate that you give the "verdict" on recipes since I often have not wanted to try new recipes and waste money on ruined food or food no one in my family will eat.
We live in Mexico and I obviously did not get my Gingerbread latte fix this year so I am very happy to see this recipe and can't wait to try it.
Thanks again for taking the time to do this for a whole year and share your experiences with the rest of us! Pattie

This was definitely a hit for Christmas. We made it three times over the holidays. The only change we made was to cut the sugar to 1/3 cup. Delicious! I think I'll try the pumpkin latte recipe next.

I got your cookbook from the library yesterday. This was the first thing I've tried and it is delicous!!!! I used splenda instead of sugar and it turned out great!
- March 2, 2010 at 3:30 PM
Made this tonight and next time I think I'll cut the ginger in half. I *know* it's gingerbread flavored, but it's awfully gingery for me! Otherwise it's delicious!
- December 7, 2010 at 8:32 PM
In my crockpot as I type. Could no wait the 3 hours and had to taste it. Very yummy, hope that the spices blend a little better, they seem to be floating on top, but it still has 2 hours to "cook". Will definitely do this again

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your website! I'm an extremely active outdoorsy girl on shiftwork, and nothing is more AWESOME than walking in the door from cross country skiing and scarfing something amazing I threw in the crock pot hours ago. The only downside is now I have so much food my fridge and freezer are exploding. LOVE IT! - Crystal

Frequent payday loan reliance among users: Poll
Two-thirds of payday loan users in the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria resort to the high-cost lenders at least three times a year, according to a new poll.
The Insights West survey was conducted for Vancity Credit Union, which has launched its own lower cost loan offering for payday loan users.
The poll found 35 per cent of users took out payday loans at least once a month, while another 32 per cent said a few times per year.
The main reasons given were having an unexpected expense, getting behind on bills or because a debt came due.
Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said he was surprised by the frequent use of high-cost payday loans among those surveyed.
"There's no light at the end of the tunnel if you're relying on these services several times a year," he said. "You may be happy you've subdued some of the debts you have, but down the road it's really going to get you."
More than 100,000 B.C. residents – about three per cent of the adult population – took out 800,000 payday loans in 2013, according to Consumer Protection B.C.
Vancity vice-president Linda Morris said the credit union's new Fair & Fast Loan is a low-cost alternative to help members who might otherwise turn to payday loans get out of the cycle of debt and rebuild their credit history.
Members can borrow $300 for a minimum two-month term and pay it off after two weeks at a total cost of $2.20, equivalent to a 19 per cent annual interest rate.
In contrast, B.C. legislation lets payday lenders could charge a maximum of $69 on the same $300 loan, equivalent to a 600 per cent annual interest rate.
The maximum Vancity will loan is $1,500 and the ability to repay over two years in addition to the credit union's more lenient approval criteria is pitched as a way for borrowers in financial trouble to repair damaged credit ratings.
Ernie Bodrogi, a credit counsellor in Burnaby at Credit Counsellors of B.C., said provincial legislation passed five years ago to rein in predatory payday lenders has done little to stop the problem.
"The fees are astronomical and they still are after the legislation," he said. "I see very expensive products coming across my desk and folks that have no chance of repaying it."
But Bodrogi isn't convinced Vancity's offer of kinder, gentler payday lending is the answer.
He questions what would stop someone from getting the Vancity loan and then also using other payday lenders.
"It's the serial borrowing that's the problem," Bodrogi said. "People go into one place, then they go down the street to get some more, then they go to a third one to pay off the first one."
He said more borrowing should never be a central strategy to solving financial woes.

We recently served these tasty little bites at a Taste Project and they filled the kitchen with a heavenly aroma. The base technique for this recipe is a dough called pate a choux. Pate a choux is used to make a variety of pastries such as profiteroles and éclairs. As you can see this dough is not limited only to the sweet side of the kitchen, but lends itself to the savory side as well.
• Start by pre-heating your oven to 450F and dicing up the bacon. Cook the bacon on medium heat in a saute pan. When the bacon is done, drain the fat and set the bacon aside. Place the water, milk, salt, and butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon over low heat. Keep stirring until the dough is soft, but not sticky. A good sign of when to stop is when a skin forms on the bottom of the saucepan.
• Place the dough mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer and, with the paddle attachment, start the dough on medium speed. Mix for 2 minutes allowing the dough to cool just slightly. Start adding the eggs one at a time. Be sure to allow each egg to be fully incorporated before adding the next. After adding the fifth egg, stop the mixer and check the consistency. To check, run your spatula down the middle of the dough, creating a crevice. The sides should start to fall in on each other. If they do not, you may add another egg and then test again.
• Once the desired consistency is reached, add the Gruyere cheese, Bacon, and Black Pepper. Fill a pastry bag with the finished dough. On a parchment lined sheet pan, pipe the gougères to about the size of a golf ball. You should be holding the pastry bag perpendicular to the sheet tray, not at an angle.
• Place the gougeres in the oven and turn the temperature down to 400F. Cook for 10-15 minutes until puffed and a dark golden brown. If you do not bake them enough they will collapse. Gougeres are just great out of the oven on their own or you may create filling and pipe it into the gougeres.
• For profiteroles or eclairs just omit the cheese, bacon, and pepper from the recipe, and pipe to the desired shape. Baking times will vary depending on size.
1/2 cup (115g) water
1/2 cup (135g) whole milk
1 stick (115g) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (150g) all-purpose unbleached flour
5-6 extra-large eggs
3 1/2 ounces (100g) gruyere cheese, shredded
4 strips thick cut applewood smoked bacon
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground

Saturday afternoon, the CEU women's basketball team played some solid ball to beat the SUU All-start team 55-81.
The team started strong and was up by 10 before the break. They never looked back.
Bresha Smith was the leading scorer for CEU. Maquette Potts with 10 and Elisha Harris with 11 were the other two players for the Eagles who scored in double figures. Staci Little again showed her strength on the boards with 16 rebounds on the afternoon.
The team will begin conference play at home this weekend against Colorado Northwestern. CEU has traditionally done well against CNW and this team should do the same. Game time is 5:30 at the BDAC in Price.
