Reviews for Mexican Skillet Rice
Sort By :
"This dish is right up my husbands alley. So I did a quick menu change when I came across it and surprised him. He really liked it."
"My whole family loved this dish. It's one of those dishes that is easily adaptable to what you have on hand. I didn't have mexicorn so used canned corn plus a little red bell pepper; was out of taco sauce so used picante sauce. I also used up some leftover Mexican style rice from a previous meal. All worked great. Looking forward to making it again with the provided ingredient list!"
"Quick, easy and delicious. I used canned chicken and ready rice (the 90sec microwave kind) and it was still amazing. Love the addition of cilantro. Will definitely make this again. Great potluck dish!"
"I made this for dinner tonight with a nice pan of cornbread. The men at the table asked for seconds. I will definitely make this dish again soon! I love the fact that everything in the dish is healthy; the only change I made was to use brown rice, and roasted my own peppers."
"My family (including two picky young boys) love this recipe and I sneak in a few extra veggies!"

Meg, two wrongs do not make a right. That round-about is poorly engineered and costly to insurance rate payers and individuals who end up in accidents. Tell my motorcycle riding cousin who was run off the road that it's safer.
says ... on Wednesday, Dec 30 at 5:36 AM
I can't believe insurance companies have not sued the county over this stupid piece of engineering.The round-about at the mall was designed correctly. The two lanes do no good when the inside lane can't get out anyway, at least not safely.
says ... on Sunday, Apr 19 at 10:52 PM
Actually the slower speeds required make the roundabout much less dangerous than the former 4-way stop that backed up onto the Highway. Any accidents are merely fender benders and they're certainly not life threatening. Visit www.wsdot.gov for info.

I agree that the round about is dangerous. I'm not sure how they expected it to work. It get's pretty busy. They should do something about it before someone really gets hurt. The round about by the mall seems to be a lot safer.
says ... on Tuesday, Mar 24 at 7:56 PM
The round about is very dangerous due to two lanes traffic which allows inner lane vehicle to turn off on exit while there is a car on the outer lane that is not planning on turning off at that same exit which causes accidents for innocent people.

Buzz: Return of the Stache
In a minor-league rehab assignment, Jose Valentin had five hits, including three doubles, in 11 at bats while playing for Single-A St. Lucie this past weekend.
Valentin will next be promoted to Triple-A New Orleans, where he'll play first base and left field.
…honestly, the sooner this guy gets back to Shea Stadium the better…
…according SNY's Gary Cohen, among others, valentin played an integral role in motivating Jose Reyes and the team's locker room…from what i can gather, he has a breezy, professional, inspirational way about him, and things have not been the same since he left in 2007…
Valentin has not played for the Mets in the regular season since July 20 of last season.
Prior to his injury, the Mets played eight games over .500, while playing just two games over .500 after the injury.
Similarly, Reyes hit .304 with Valentin by his side, but hit just .248 after his injury.

Little Anja is definitely one sassy 4-year-old!
On Monday, Alessandra Ambrosio's toddler threw one of the cutest tantrums we've ever seen while walking with her supermodel mom.
Dressed in a pink Paul Frank tee, Luna leggings and with her hair in a side ponytail, Anja pouted, shrugged and threw her hands on her hips (in true diva fashion) as the two ran errands before the Victoria's Secret Angel dropped her off at school.
The 31-year-old, who wore a white Day by Day Clothing romper, couldn't help but crack a smile when she turned around and saw Anja stomping behind her.
She's definitely Alessandra's little princess. Click "Launch Gallery" above to see Anja's adorable tantrum!

Searching for
Datsun Parts
Choose your Datsun Model
If you were born in the 1980's and beyond, you may not be familiar with the Datsun brand but, at one time, it was more recognized and respected outside of Japan than the name of the company that owned it, Nissan. In fact, from the time the Datsun brand came to be in the 1930's, up until the 1960's, Nissan didn't even use its own name on a vehicle other than a truck or bus. In addition, from the onset of its foreign expansion in the 1950's until the brand was phased out in 1986, the Datsun name was used on most Nissan vehicles that were exported to other markets as well. Unfortunately for Datsun, Nissan had a change of heart in the 1980's and decided it wanted to strengthen its own name at the expense of Datsun. It was phased out completely in 1986, and the rest is history. However, in a stunning comeback, the brand was re-launched in 2013 but there are no plans to bring it back to the U.S.
We here at 1A Auto have not forgotten about Datsun though. If you are in need of parts for your Datsun car or truck, you have come to the right place!

If you happen to be an enthusiastic Datsun owner, have a deep passion for Datsun vehicles, or just want to learn more about the automobile manufacturer, continue reading below for a detailed look at the brand's history and some of its past and present models.
Datsun is a Japanese automobile brand owned by the Nissan Motor Company since the 1930's, and was the predecessor to the Nissan brand. The first vehicle to carry the "Datsun" name, which was originally dubbed the "Datson," was produced and sold in 1931, though the brand's origin can be traced even further than that, to the Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works, which produced the DAT car in 1914. From the outset of its expansion into foreign markets beginning in the late 1950's, and continuing until the early to mid 1980's, most of the vehicles produced and exported to other countries by Nissan were sold under the Datsun brand. In fact, it wasn't until the 1960's that the Nissan brand name was even used on a vehicle other than a truck or bus, in any country, when the company started to brand some of its high-end cars as Nissans. In 1986, Nissan completed a phase out of the Datsun name worldwide in favor of the Nissan name and it remained dormant until 2013, when Nissan announced that it would be revived as the brand name for a line of budget vehicles it was planning to manufacture for emerging markets such as India and Russia.
1. Origin
2. Building the Datsun Brand
3. Foreign Expansion and Beyond
4. The Datsun Name is Phased Out
5. Datsun Today
Before Datsun became a brand, there was the DAT car, which was built in 1914 by a company called the Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works. This company was established in 1911 by Masujiro Hashimoto, an American trained engineer, and immediately set out on its mission to create an automobile for the Japanese market. The company produced its first car in 1914, the DAT, which was based on Hashimoto's own design. The car's name came to be by combining the initials of the surnames of the three men who had invested in the company: Kenjiro Den, Rokuro Aoyama and Meitaro Takeuchi. In 1918, the company, which had grown quite a bit by this time, was renamed to Kwaishinsha Motor Car Co., Ltd. It released another vehicle, the Model 41 DAT, the following year. It had also started to produce trucks around this time as well, in addition to its DAT passenger cars, geared towards the military market. This demand would lead to the company focusing predominantly on building trucks, as the demand for cars by consumers was extremely low at the time.
In 1919, an American engineer named William R. Gorham developed a three-wheeled vehicle which drew the attention of a businessman in Japan. A company called Jitsuyo Jidosha Co., Ltd. was then established with the purpose of manufacturing these three-wheeled vehicles, and future aspirations to expand. The mechanical equipment, parts, and materials used to build the vehicles were ordered and imported from the U.S. The following year, the company produced a four-wheeled version, and would also go on to produce light cars and trucks under the name of Lila. In 1925, Kwaishinsha Motor Car Co., Ltd. changed their name to DAT Jidosha & Co., Ltd. (also known as DAT Motor Car Co. or DAT Motors). In the 1920's, DAT was forced to consider merging with other automotive companies due to the low demand for their cars. In 1926, it merged with Jitsuyo Jidosha Co., Ltd., (also known as Jitsuyo Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd. or Jitsuyo Motors) to form DAT Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd. (also known as DAT Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd).
In 1928, another important event happened. Yoshisuke Aikawa, a Japanese born and educated man who also lived in the United States for a time where he developed casting skills, founded the holding company Nihon Sangyo Co., Ltd. (also known as Nippon Sangyo Co., Ltd. or Japan Industries). Aikawa had previously established another company, Tobata Casting Co., Ltd., in 1911 following his return to Japan, which will also play a big role in our origin story. The Nissan name would eventually originate from this company during the 1930's, as it was used as an abbreviation on the Tokyo stock market for the company. Nihon Sangyo was originally created as an offshoot of Kuhara Mining Co., Ltd. (which is present day JX Nippon Mining & Metals), which Aikawa had taken over as president of from his brother-in-law Fusanosuke Kuhara, after a reorganization of his assets due to the bankruptcy of the Kuhara zaibatsu (combine consisting of Japanese business conglomerates) following World War I. Nippon Mining Co., Ltd. was established a year later to take over mining, smelting and refinery operations of Nihon Sangyo Co., Ltd.
Nihon Sangyo would ultimately morph into the famous Nissan zaibatsu, which included foundries and auto parts businesses like Tobata Casting and Hitachi (which began in 1910 as an in-house venture of Fusanosuke Kuhara's mining company in Hitachi, Japan), and eventually grew to include an automobile manufacturing company of which it is now known for - the Nissan Motor Company (more on that later). By World War II, Nissan eventually grew to include a large number of member firms from various industries, some of which were the most technologically advanced in Japan at the time, and became the fourth-largest combine in Japan leading up to World War II. Following the war, the zaibatsu was dissolved in Japan, although not completely, and was reformed into Nichiyo-kai, otherwise known as the Nissan Group, which of course still exists today and owns the modern day Nissan Motor Company. In addition to its automotive manufacturing business, which it primarily became known for outside of Japan, the Group also got heavily involved in the real estate industry, which was its core business until the real estate crash of the early 1990's. Since then, the company has, for the most part, gotten out of the real estate industry and has focused on manufacturing and insurance.
Getting back to Datsun, in 1931, DAT Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd. became affiliated with Tobata Casting Co., Ltd. (a Nissan company at this time), which by 1928 had begun casting car components and was supplying them to DAT Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd., thus becoming a subsidiary under them albeit not a wholly owned one at this time. That same year, the company produced a new, smaller car with a 495cc engine which it called the "Datson," or the "Son of DAT" in English. The development of this car came about from a 1930 ministerial ordinance created by the Japanese government which allowed cars with engines up to 500 cc to be driven without a license. DAT had already been producing larger vehicles for Japanese consumers for years now, but this ordinance created a new market segment which DAT Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd. felt it could cater to with this new car. The name of the car would be changed not long afterwards to "Datsun" because "son" also means "loss" or "disadvantage" in Japanese, and the sun is depicted in the Japanese flag and thus they wanted to honor it. Therefore, they decided to change the name to make it more appealing and the Datsun name was officially born.
During this time, Aikawa had been acquiring more shares in DAT Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd. as he desired to mass produce domestic vehicles in his homeland. In 1933, he set up an automobile department within Tobata Casting in order to produce the Datsun, which he had the manufacturing rights to. In late 1933, Aikawa established Jidosha Seizo Co.,Ltd., a joint venture of Nihon Sangyo and Tobata Casting Company. The new company took over all the operations for manufacturing Datsuns from the automobile division of Tobata Casting Co., Ltd. from this point forward. The shareholders of the new company however were not all that enthusiastic about the automobile succeeding in Japan. As a result, Aikawa decided to buy out all of the Tobata Casting shareholders using capital from Nihon Sangyo. At this point, Nihon Sangyo Co., Ltd. assumed full control of the company and the corporate name was changed to Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. in 1934. This effectively ended both Jidosha Seizo Co.,Ltd. and Tobata Casting Co., Ltd., and was essentially the birth of the Nissan automobile manufacturing company as we know it today, with the Datsun brand being owned by Nissan.
Building the Datsun Brand
In 1936, Nissan purchased design plans and plant facilities from U.S. based Graham-Paige Motors Corp. which greatly helped the company to be able to produce larger vehicles. Car production was restricted in 1937 after Japan went to war with China that year and as a result, by 1938, the Datsun plant in Yokohama, Japan focused primarily on building military trucks for the Imperial Japanese Army. During the war, Nissan also built engines for the army's planes and motor torpedo boats. In 1943, the production of cars and trucks was completely stopped. In 1944, the company name was temporarily changed to Nissan Heavy Industries, Ltd. When the Pacific War (which was the Pacific portion of World War II) ended, Nissan turned their attention to providing trucks for the Occupation Forces. This would last until car production was resumed in 1947. Following the war, Aikawa, Nissan's founder, was imprisoned as a war criminal. After he was released he was not allowed to return to any corporate or public office until 1951. By then, the Nissan zaibatsu was dissolved and was reformed into Nichiyo-kai (the Nissan Group,) which was a new form of business grouping called keiretsu that emerged in Japan following the collapse of the zaibatsu. The Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. name was also reestablished, replacing Nissan Heavy Industries, Ltd. Aikawa was never allowed back into Nissan, though he went on to do other things. He died in 1967.
In 1952, Nissan entered into a legal agreement with the Austin Motor Company, an English automobile manufacturer founded in 1905. In the early 1930's, Datsun had built some cars that were closely patterned on Austins of the time. The agreement called for Nissan to assemble 2,000 Austins from imported partially assembled sets - which Nissan would have to complete - and sell them in Japan under the Austin trademark. The agreement also called for Nissan to make all Austin parts locally within three years and build the cars completely by themselves, a goal which Nissan eventually was able to meet. Nissan would produce and market Austins until 1960, when the deal expired. The agreement also gave Nissan the rights to use Austin patents, which it used in developing engines for its Datsun line of cars. Nissan also leveraged the Austin patents to further develop their own modern engine designs, beyond those of Austin, the apex of which was the A series engine in 1966. Other completely new engines followed, including the infamous four-cylinder Nissan L engine in 1967, and a six-cylinder version in 1969.
During this period from 1934 until the 1960's, the Datsun brand name was used on all of the passenger cars produced in-house by Nissan; the name was also used on some truck models as well. The Nissan name during this time was used only on trucks and buses.
Foreign Expansion and Beyond
In the 1950's, Nissan decided to expand into other markets outside of Japan, feeling that their small Datsun branded cars would fill unmet needs in countries such as Australia and the United States. Nissan decided to use the Datsun brand name for its exports to the U.S. since at this time, it was a much more successful and recognized name than Nissan. Nissan also wanted to distance its name association by Americans with Japanese military manufacture, of which Nissan's involvement was substantial; the Datsun name on the other hand, had escaped the war with its name intact. The first Datsun sold in the U.S. was in 1958 and in 1960 the company formed a U.S. subsidiary, Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A. From the outset of its expansion into foreign markets and continuing until the early to mid 1980's, the majority of vehicles manufactured and exported to other countries by Nissan were sold under the Datsun brand name. It wasn't until the 1960's that Nissan began to use its own name on a vehicle other than a truck or bus, domestic or foreign, when the company started to brand some of its high-end models as Nissans, such as the Nissan Cedric in 1960. The Cedric name would eventually be dropped however for most export markets for a time and sold under the Datsun name with various series numbers, until the Datsun name phase out in the 1980's.
In 1959, the all new Datsun Bluebird 310 series debuted in Japan and was exported to other countries as well, a small number of which made it to the U.S. (simply called the Datsun 310). The Bluebird nameplate, which would become Nissan's most internationally known sedan, lasted in Japan all the way until 2001, at which point it ended production. In the 1980's, it became the Nissan Bluebird when the Datsun brand was phased out. Export versions were sold under various names in addition to the Datsun Bluebird, such as the Datsun 510, which was a series of the Datsun Bluebird and was produced until 1973, and the Datsun 810, which was an upscale version of the Bluebird produced from 1976 to 1979. Both the modern day Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima, two of Nissan's most well known and successful models, are continuations of the Bluebird line.
Also in 1959, the Datsun Sports roadster, which was called the Datsun Fairlady in Japan, a name which was a link to the popular Broadway play of the era, My Fair Lady, was released. The first model was the S211 and the subsequent generation, the SPL212, was released and was the first Datsun sports car imported to the United States. The Nissan Fairlady series was the predecessor of the famous Z sports car in the Fairlady line. The Nissan S30 was the first generation series of the Z car, which debuted in 1969 in Japan as the Fairlady Z (this nameplate continues in Japan). It was first exported to the United States in 1970 as the Datsun 240Z sports car which used a six-cylinder variation of the L series engine. The Datsun 240Z was an immediate sensation and the coupe lifted Datsun - and Nissan - to world class status in the automobile market. The iconic car was named as number two on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970's by Sports Car International in 2004. Subsequent models were released in this first generation S30 series and other generations have followed in the Z car line.
In 1964, the world's attention turned to the 1964 Summer Olympics, which was held in Tokyo. To try and capitalize on this, Nissan established a showroom on the second and third floors of the iconic San-ai building in Tokyo's famed Ginza district. To attract visitors, Nissan started using beautiful female showroom attendants and held a competition to choose its five best "Miss Fairladys" which would show off the new model, the Datsun Fairlady 1500. The candidates for the Miss Fairlady positions were trained in etiquette and knowledge of the car to make them more effective spokeswomen for Nissan. The concept of the Nissan Miss Fairladys was modeled after the "Datsun Demonstrators" from the 1930's who used to introduce cars. Miss Fairladys are still chosen today and it is a very well respected position in Japanese culture.
In 1966, Datsun debuted the Datsun 1000 compact car, known as the Datsun Sunny in Japan. A second generation was released in 1970 and was called the Datsun 1200, and other series' followed. Following the phase out of the Datsun name, the nameplate became the Nissan Sunny which was produced until 2004. Also in 1966, Nissan merged with the Prince Motor Company, another Japanese automobile manufacturer which was founded in 1952. This brought more upmarket luxury cars, including the Skyline and Gloria, into the company's product line. In fact, The Prince Motor Company used to provide the Skyline to the Japanese emperor and the imperial family. The Prince name was eventually abandoned not long thereafter, and successive Skylines and Glorias were sold under the Nissan name. In the early 1970's, the Nissan Cedric and Gloria essentially merged and became the same vehicle, with the Gloria turned into a sportier, more upscale version of the Cedric. Just like the Cedric, the Gloria continued in production until 2004. The Skyline nameplate on the other hand, continues till this day. The first Skyline model exported to the United States was in 2001, and it was sold under Nissan's Infiniti luxury brand, which launched in 1989, as the Infiniti G35; subsequent generations followed. The Skyline had been imported to other countries long before this however. For example, models of the C110 generation of the Skyline in the 1970's were exported to other countries as the Datsun 160K, Datsun 180K, and the Datsun 240K.
In 1968, the Nissan Laurel was released, which was sold in Japan until 2002 (also called the Datsun Laurel in markets until the phase out). Exports of the car ceased in the 1980's and a version was sold in the United States in the 1970's called the Datsun 200L. In 1973, The Datsun 710 car was released in the United States; it was called the Nissan Violet in Japan and was a smaller companion car to the Datsun Bluebird 610. In 1977, the previous generation Violet was expanded and was joined by two badge engineered versions, the Nissan Auster, and the Nissan Stanza. The cars were also called Datsuns until the name was phased out for Nissan in the 1980's; the Stanza/Auster/Violet nameplates themselves were phased out in 1992. The Stanza was replaced by the Nissan Altima in North America; the Stanza was replaced by the Nissan Bluebird in Japan.
In the 1970's, consumers worldwide began to prefer small economy cars due to the energy crisis of the time. This crisis triggered an increase in the demand for the export of small Japanese cars, especially from U.S. consumers, which had a reputation for their great fuel economy and quality. To meet the growing demand, Nissan built new factories in other parts of the world like Mexico and Australia, and a factory followed in the United States in the 1980's. One of those small compact cars was the Datsun 310, known in Japan as the Nissan Pulsar. This first generation Pulsar was produced until 1982, at which point the Datsun name phase out was well under way. The Pulsar continued in Japan until 2000.
The Datsun Name is Phased Out
In 1981, the decision was made by Nissan to stop using the brand name Datsun in other countries including the United States and instead use the Nissan company name, in order to strengthen it. The thought was that doing so would help Nissan with its pursuit of a global strategy much in the same way as Toyota and Honda, for example, which were household names in other parts of the world, while Nissan was not at the time. Eliminating the Datsun brand would simplify things as all vehicles would be branded as Nissan. Many in the automotive industry criticized the decision initially because the company was substituting a then unknown brand outside of Japan for one that was well respected.
The phase out of the name was not immediate, rather it lasted for a few years. In fact, until 1983, Nissan vehicles in most export markets were still sold under the Datsun brand. At that point, the Nissan name was added and given more prominence. In some export markets, cars carried both the Datsun and Nissan name on them through 1985. It wasn't until 1986 that the phase out was complete and the Datsun brand was completely dropped. The company's decision to drop the Datsun brand name was a very expensive undertaking as dealership signs had to be changed, advertisements were run to proclaim the change, etc. Even after all that, the Datsun brand remained more familiar than the Nissan name for years to come. That however, has of course changed.
Datsun Today
The Datsun name was dormant from 1986 to 2013. During this time, Nissan had entered into a strategic alliance with Renault S.A., a French automobile manufacturer which was founded in 1899, due to the severe financial difficulties Nissan was facing at the time. The agreement was signed in 1999 and Renault took an ownership stake in Nissan, which has since increased, while Nissan eventually bought into Renault after a remarkable financial turnaround. The Alliance also gave the Nissan Motor Company more independence from the Nissan Group, and its successful turnaround was attributed to the fact that the chairman and CEO of the Alliance, Carlos Ghosn, was able to detach the Nissan Motor Company from Nissan keiretsu connections and debt while eliminating thousands of jobs from the Japanese workforce. The Alliance itself was incorporated as the Renault-Nissan B.V., equally owned by Renault and Nissan, in 2002 under Dutch law. It's important to note that the strategic partnership between Renault and Nissan is not a merger or an acquisition; the two companies are in an alliance together through a substantial cross-shareholding agreement. Each one of the company's acts in the financial interest of the other while maintaining unique brand identities and independent corporate cultures. The two companies collaborate, borrow, and share in order to strengthen the other company where appropriate, without forcing one company's identity on the other.
But what about Datsun? Well, in 2013, Nissan announced that after decades of being inactive, the Datsun nameplate would be revived as the brand name for a line of budget vehicles it was planning to manufacture for emerging markets such as India and Russia. However, Nissan has vehemently stated that the Datsun name will not be finding its way onto any vehicles in the U.S. market.

Edith Wharton: Collected Stories 1911-1937 Volume 2by Edith Wharton
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Edith Wharton's full and glamorous life bridged two continents and two centuries. Born into an upper-class New York family, she broke with convention and became a professional writer, earning an enduring place as the grande dame of American letters.
This collection presents the finest of Wharton's achievement in short fiction, drawn from the more than eighty stories she published over the course of her career. Here, in settings familiar and exotic, are all of Wharton's characteristic qualities and themes: her candid exploration of relations between the sexes; her satire, sometimes gentle, sometimes despairing, of social class and its distinctions; her keen-eyed observation of the minutiae of character; her unflinching recognition of the power of conventional morality and the limits of passion, tempered by her delightful sense of play.
Opening with her first published story?the charming "Mrs. Manstey's View," about a disruption in the life of an elderly apartment-dweller?this first of two volumes presents a writer, already at the height of her powers, beginning to explore the concerns of a lifetime. In "Souls Belated," two lovers attempt to escape the consequences of their adultery?a subject to which Wharton returns throughout her career. In "The Mission of Jane" (about a remarkable adopted child) and "The Pelican" (about an itinerant lecturer), she discovers her gift for social and cultural satire. Perhaps the finest of her ghost stories, "The Eyes," with its Jamesian sense of evil, is also included, along with two novella-length works, "The Touchstone" and "Sanctuary," revealing the dazzling range of Wharton's fictive imagination.
Also included in this edition are a chronology of Wharton's life, explanatory notes, and an essay on the texts.
Maureen Howard, editor of this volume, is the author of seven novels, including Grace Abounding, Expensive Habits, Natural History, and A Lover's Almanac, and has taught at Columbia, Princeton, and Yale. She lives in New York City.
"[T]hese two generous volumes, collected and edited by the novelist Maureen Howard, have a fine cumulative effect. Here are riches. Wharton attempted, and succeeded in, a dazzling variety of styles, from the fantastic to the realistic, from the satiric to the sentimental. Here are antiquarian themes ? ghosts, fables, historical fantasies, and tales of crazed connoisseurs in love with the past. But here are also a number of incisive dissections of contemporary American and European customs. Wharton brought a new acuity to the debate between manners and morals. And she knew well how to shape a story." Margaret Drabble, Atlantic Online (read Atlantic Online's entire review)
A master of the American short story, in a two-volume collector's edition
Over the course of a long and astonishingly productive literary career that stretched from the early 1890s to just before World War II, Edith Wharton published nearly a dozen story collections, leaving a body of work as various as it is enduring. With this two-volume set, The Library of America presents the finest of Wharton's achievement in short fiction: 67 stories drawn from the entire span of her writing life, including the novella-length works The Touchstone, Sanctuary, and Bunner Sisters, eight shorter pieces never collected by Wharton, and many stories long out-of-print.
Her range of setting and subject matter is dazzling, and her mastery of style consistently sure. Here are all the aspects of Wharton's art: her satire, sometimes gentle, sometimes dark and despairing, of upper-class manners; her unblinking recognition of the power of social convention and the limits of passion; her merciless exposure of commercial motivations; her candid exploration of relations between the sexes.
The stories range with cosmopolitan ease from her native New York to the salons and summer hotels of Newport, Paris, and the Italian lakes. The depth of her response to World War I is registered in such works as "The Marne." Of particular interest are the remarkable stories, which treat occult and supernatural themes rarely encountered in her novels, such as the classic ghost stories "The Eyes" and "Pomegranate Seed."

Calling for pictures of high tides!
January 30th February 1st
Grab your cameras and head out to the Western, Eastern, or Atlantic shore to photograph the highest seasonal tides. We need your help in documenting how these tides look along Maryland's shores.
The landscape of Maryland's coastlines has changed dramatically over the past century because of human and natural processes. These processes will continue to change coastal landscapes into the future -- and over the next 100 years. We're asking for your help in documenting some of these changes to learn more about Maryland's most vulnerable areas.
Maryland is projected to see a 3 to 4 foot rise in sea level over the next century. The East Coast recently experienced Superstorm Sandy, and will continue to experience more dramatic weather events. These events, coupled with rising seas, will exacerbate already present coastal hazards. Building a photographic library of how local communities are already experiencing flooding due to natural events, such as high tides, is an important step to learning more about, and then helping, areas that are especially vulnerable.
The King Tides Initiative began in Queensland, Australia in 2009 and was quickly noticed by British Columbia, Washington, California, and Oregon, who each began participating in the following years. King Tides are not related to climate change and are not sea level rise. The term 'king tide' is a non-scientific term used to describe naturally occurring, exceptionally high tides that take place when the sun and moon's gravitational pull align making the oceans "bulge." While the king tides are not as dramatic here in Maryland, being aware of when they occur and photographing the areas that flood during these tides are critical to learning where sea level rise and future superstorms may impact most significantly.
To participate:
- Find a convenient location along a shoreline.
- Check NOAA tide predictions for the specific daily high tide closest to that location: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.shtml?gid=115
- Record the date, time, and location of each picture.
- Go to www.flickr.com to sign up for a free account, if you don't already have one.
- Join the Maryland King Tides Photo Initiative Group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/MarylandKingTides
- Edit each photo in Flickr to include in the description, date, time, direction facing, and any recognizable structure or location.
- Add pictures to the Maryland King tides Group.
Pictures posted to the King Tides Photo Initiative group will help illustrate how these high tides impact different areas along Maryland's coasts. These pictures will be used in educational and outreach materials to raise awareness around the impacts of flooding, sea level rise, and how humans interact with these vulnerable coastal areas.

Insect Collection Aflutter with Butterflies
Late professor's specimens fill out
William F. Barr Entomological Museum
By Joel Mills
"While most people take vacations to Disneyland, we took vacations to remote areas of the Pacific Northwest to collect butterflies and document their occurrence."
- Ann Curtis
The average butterfly lives for only a few, fleeting days. But at the William F. Barr Entomological Museum at the University of Idaho, tens of thousands of the ephemeral creatures have achieved something akin to immortality, perfectly preserved in drawer upon drawer of pinned and labeled precision.
"It's an honor for me to be a steward of these resources, and manage these collections," said Frank Merickel, a professor of entomology known as the University of Idaho "keeper of the bugs."
The museum has existed for more than a century as an essential part of the university's land-grant mission. In addition to butterflies, it houses approximately one million other specimens that form a physical database of the insects that inhabit the Gem State and the rest of the world.
Merickel said entomological knowledge is key to the understanding of soil and plant health, and is therefore an important part of supporting Idaho's agriculturaleconomy. It is also a part of the university's outreach mission, and Merickel frequently teaches schoolchildren and farmers about bugs, and helps homeowners deal with pests.
"It is an exquisite example of the land-grant function," he said.
The museum's collections, which were already impressive, recently got a boost with the donation of more than 17,000 butterfly specimens from the collection of university professor Nelson Curtis. Curtis died last year, and his wife Ann donated his butterflies to the university before she died earlier this year.
And while the collection is fascinating in and of itself, it is interesting to note Curtis was not a professor of entomology, but of art.
Some of the 17,000 butterflies donated to the university from the collection of late art professor Nelson Curtis.
"He saw the beauty in butterflies," Merickel said, noting not just the visual allure of the specimens, but of Curtis' meticulous preservation. "It's just gorgeous in terms of the organization of it."
Curtis collected butterflies for 30 years, starting in the early 1970s. He became so obsessed that he arranged nine-month employment contracts with the university to ensure that his summers were free for collecting.
In a short bio of Curtis written by Merickel, he quotes Ann Curtis as saying, "While most people take vacations to Disneyland, we took vacations to remote areas of the Pacific Northwest to collect butterflies and document their occurrence."
Curtis arranged his collections by county, which detracted from their efficiency as a scientific resource, but added to their aesthetic appeal, Merickel said. Curtis was also diligent about mounting specimens both ventrally (upside down) and dorsally (right side up), and including widely varying examples of the same species from different seasons.
"The spring and fall form of the same butterfly can look very different," Merickel said while standing over a specimen drawer full of examples from the genus Plebejus.
Merickel guessed that the Curtis collection represents every butterfly species in Idaho, and almost all of the species in the Northwest. And he described the lengths that Curtis would have gone to capture some of them. "Idaho is a horrendously diverse state, from north to south and east to west," he said while looking at a drawer full of three specimens, which prefer to fly on steep mountainsides. "So I know Nelson had to work to get these."
And preserving butterflies in the field can be a challenge, especially in the summer months when they can dry quickly and resist proper mounting. "Once they dry and that musculature dries, if you attempt to spread them, you'll break off the wings."
Successful collecting also requires, at minimum, a basic knowledge of the host plant where butterflies lay their eggs, and the type of flowers where they prefer to feed, or "nectar."
Merickel made a point of giving credit to all the people who have made contributions to the museum over the years. They include the late University of Idaho professor William Barr, for whom the museum is named, and Frank M. Beer of Oregon State University. Both men amassed renowned collections of beetles, which they donated to the museum.
Merickel also expressed a profound respect for insects themselves, and the crucial role they play in the global ecosystem.
"They are the fundamental life givers," Merickel said. "They bring life to the soil and the water. Everybody feeds on insects, in one way or another."

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
When I recently made the decision to trade my place behind a local microphone for a place in the local print newsroom I was asked a very serious and somber question, "Are you afraid of the future for newspapers?" A fair question given the present attitude toward print media but one that made my blood boil a little to tell you the truth.
Because I know something, you see.
While many are ready to drive a nail into the coffin of news print companies and bustling newsrooms, my recent work experience back at the Sun Advocate along with the acquisition of the Huffington Post by America Online have me dropping a wry and knowing smile concerning a future that is bright and full of possibility for those in the newsroom.
When the editor-in-chief of the newly formed Huffington Post Media Group, Arianna Huffington, recently interviewed for Bill Maher on Politically Incorrect concerning the acquisition of her news empire by AOL, increased local media coverage was at the dead center of the conversation. Yes, hyper-local news coverage is rearing its head as the king of the digital media transition.
Huffington, the one-woman media empire who started Huffington Post from scratch half a decade ago, could have focused her comments on the multi-million dollar pay day she just received courtesy of AOL. She could have talked about the major ramifications the acquisition will certainly have on Wall Street or even discussed the international coverage that will certainly be increased by AOL's sheer mass, but alas it was local reporters and their beat that had Huffington excited. Indeed, it's seems the inner workings of communities just like Utah's Castle Country are at the top of the list for media moguls in 2011.
"(This acquisition) makes it possible for us to accelerate all of things have been planning to do," explained Huffington. "The extension of our local reach is the most exciting part of this deal."
According to Huffington, the stock of local news gathering and reporting is skyrocketing while many national media giants seem to have lost their credibility all together.
After all Fox News is about as "Fair and Balanced" as the jury at the Salem witch trials.
Getting back to the point, what seems to be working for the media right now is versatile coverage by local reporters.
In the last month at the Sun Advocate I have sold ad content, written adver-torial, editorial and news pieces, recorded pod-cast material, took photographs, worked toward increasing circulation and helped put into motion our own local media company transformation. Most at the office are doing the same thing, finding themselves capable of wearing whatever hat is needed at the time.
This is the future for newspapers. While new products like "The Daily," (a news site composed specifically for tablets,) promote themselves as a revolutionary, when at heart they are simply a newspaper produced for a purely digital medium. The lasting value of a newspapers, especially in local communities, lies not in the medium by which the content is delivered, but rather in the responsibility undertaken by writers and composers.
A responsibility that may be coming the consumer's way in print, as well as online, for quite awhile.
According to a recent article in the Columbia Journalism Review, the proportion of reading time for those who subscribe to the one of the top five American newspapers comes out 12 percent online / 88 percent print. The imbalance is apparently even greater if the person reads more than one of the top five.
While this may seem odd given today's ultra digital trend, the disproportion reportedly comes from the fact that not everyone gets their media they way those within the media assume. Not everyone uses an RSS feed. Despite popular belief, not everyone is on Twitter. Yes, 15 years into the age of online newspapers, things are still disproportionately stacked toward print. And while this is heartwarming to those who love the smell of the printed page it would be naive and fatal to resist the coming change. Because "the times they are a changin."
If the digital age has accomplished one thing for community media outlets, it's this: even the smallest shop has the ability to be available 24/7, 365 and in vibrant color and sound at the touch of a button or the turn of a page. Your choice.
In the opinion of this local reporter it is not the choice of medium that seems to sway local news consumers, it is the want for interesting, familiar and dependable content available when and how they want it.
The Sun Advocate has been covering local news in one incarnation or another for the past 120 years and because the organization is willing to change with its audience, the organization is here to stay. It is easy to see that I have a fondness for our local rag and that fondness comes from a belief that newsrooms with editors and reporters, charged with delivering the TRUTH to their readers is at the heart of any newspaper. The story, not the medium, is the heart of the matter and it's the heart that matters more.

Research Interests
I am interested in how our mental models (beliefs, attitudes, expectations, values) operate in an autopilot way to guide our behaviors and influence the results we get. In a very related area, I am further interested in understanding what qualities or characteristics must be present in order to successfully change deep habit patterns (such as habits of thinking, and, collectively, shared habits -- culture). My passion for application of this research is in supporting sustainability efforts through an understanding of how mental models affect sustainable and unsustainable practices.
Research Expertise
I am most recently experienced in action research and in various qualitative methods – grounded theory, heuristics, hermeneutics, phenomenology. In my more distant past, I have two degrees in mathematics (both theoretical and applied statistics) and I know how to look up what I need to support quantitative research.

Beth I was wondering if you ever used induna.com, and if so if it was a safe site. I'm just starting to get into 70's Indian cinema thanks to you and Diedangerdiediekill.blogspot.com

It's a great site! I shop from them often. Keep an eye on your shipping totals - sometimes that is as much as the DVDs.

Ok thanks for the all the help, I wasn't sure if it was a safe site or not. also Is there any other sites you would recommend for buying Dvds and Vcds of older Indian titles like Reporter Raju?

I mostly buy online from Induna, though there are many ebay sellers who have DVDs also. And do check youtube - more and more Indian films are showing up in legal uploads from DVD and film production companies.

When he died in combat in France on Nov. 10, 1944, Army First Lt. Herschel Thrall Hardin never knew he had made first lieutenant, nor did he know he was entitled to pin 10 medals for heroism on his uniform.
The record was set straight Saturday. An ocean away and sixty-six years after his death, Lt. Hardin's medals were presented posthumously to his brother, Price Thrall, in a military ceremony at the Price Peace Gardens.
Flanked by members of the National Guard, U.S. Army and Veterans of Foreign Wars, Thrall received the following tributes to his brother's courage:
The Distinguished Service Cross (the nation's second-highest military honor) for action on Sept. 5, 1944;
The Silver Star (third-highest award) for action on Aug. 17 and 18;
The Bronze Star Medal, with V Device and two oak leaf clusters, earned on the day of his death, Nov. 10;
The Purple Heart, with two oak leaf clusters for wounds received Sept. 5 and Nov. 10;
American Campaign Medal;
European Theater of Operations Medal with two battle stars;
Combat Infantry Badge (First Award);
World War II Victory Medal;
France Croix de Guerre (Cross of War) Medal;
Presidential Unit Citation.
"I will always be indebted to Sen. Orrin Hatch for his hard work," Price Thrall wrote in a message listing the awards. "It took over two years from the time we started to receiving all the information regarding the records of Herschel."
The information was retrieved from the morning reports of K-Company, 319th Infantry Regiment 80th Division for August, September and November 1944.
Thrall learned of his brother's honors in the course of genealogy research.
Is awarded to Second Lt. Herschel Thrall Hardin...for extraordinary heroism while serving with K Company, 319th Infantry Regiment, 80th Infantry division in the European Theater of Operations, On August 17 and 18th , 1944.
He received this award in connection with military operations against and armed enemy of the United States in France on August 17, 1944; Lieutenant Herschel Thrall Hardin led his platoon in an assault upon Evron-Neanl-LesBouillons-St Gemmes Le Robert, France.
With three men of his platoon pinned down and wounded by enemy machine gun fire, Second Lieutenant Thrall, with total disregard his own life and safety, made three trips and personally removed the three wounded soldiers, one at a time to safety. Second Lieutenant Herschel Thrall Hardin's exemplary performance of duty in active ground combat is in keeping with the finest tradition of the military service.
By Order of Major General McBride.

With a postseason berth squarely on the line, the Jefferson Community College baseball team had lot working in its favor as Mohawk Valley CC came to the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds for a key Region 3 Division III baseball doubleheader Saturday.
JCC knew two wins or a split would greatly aid its cause. The Cannoneers were at home for only third time this season. And two of coach John Northrops top starters were taking the mound.
In the end, none of that mattered as JCC lost both games. It failed to come up with the key hit during a 9-2 first-game loss to the Hawks. Then the most reliable starter, sophomore left-hander Eury Villalona, was touched for eight runs in the second inning of the nightcap and the bullpen coughed up a one-run lead in the top of the seventh inning as Mohawk Valley rallied for a wild 14-11 win.
JCC, 12-15 overall and 6-10 in regional play, now faces almost a must-sweep situation today when the same two teams play a doubleheader in Utica. The Cannoneers must win twice versus the Hawks (15-15, 10-10) to remain alive for one of the four Region 3 postseason berths.
If were rained out, were done because we wont have time for a make-up, Northrop said. We knew today was big, and we just didnt play well enough to win.
The Cannoneers left 13 men on base in the first game, and saw Mohawk Valley score eight runs in its final two at-bats to break open a 1-1 game.
In the second game, JCC trailed 9-0 after 2 1/2 innings. But a grand slam by sophomore Jason Hardie and a clutch two-out, three-run shot by freshman James Smith in the bottom of the sixth gave the Cannoneers an improbable 11-10 lead. However, the Hawks scored four times in the top of the seventh, including two unearned runs due to an error on a bunt.
Its been that kind of season, Northrop said. When we make a mistake, the other team always takes advantage. When weve been given opportunities, we cant seem to get a big hit or make a big play. But I guess you get that with 23 freshmen on the roster.
JCC wasted a solid start by Watertowns Dustin Pond in the first game. Pond pitched into the sixth inning, allowing just five hits and was charged with three runs.
But the Cannoneers left the bases loaded in both the first and second innings, three more in the fifth and two in the sixth.
Its frustrating when you get that many runners on base and you cant get them in, said Watertown sophomore Kyle Simmons, who had three hits on the day. We havent been able to get into any kind of rhythm at the plate with all of the rainouts.
Northrops club has had 28 games postponed, and has now played 25 games. Last year at this time, it had completed 45 games.
Its been tough to set up the rotation and the bullpen because of all the off days, Northrop said. Our hitting has been sporadic because we havent had that many days outside all spring.
Saturdays second game may have been the ultimate heartbreaker. JCC looked down and out after Mohawk Valley touched Villalona for eight runs on six hits in the top of the second.
But Hardie, a catcher from Ajax, Ontario, hit a line-drive home run over the left-field fence with the bases loaded in the bottom of the third to give the Cannoneers new life.
Down 10-6 in the bottom of the sixth, JCC got a run-scoring single from Simmons and a sacrifice fly from Hardie to cut the deficit to 10-8. After an Elliott Martin walk, Smith, hitting just .196, drove an 0-1 fastball from Bryan McGuire for his first homer of the season, and suddenly JCC was in the lead.
But Northrops bullpen had been taxed, with four relievers used in the opener and another in the second game. So he was forced to call on freshman Arman Lakhani, who was supposed to start game 1 today. Lakhani gave up a run in the sixth, then walked the leadoff batter in the Mohawk Valley seventh before yielding a two-run single to Marcus Failing and a run-scoring hit to Bryce Patterson.
There really wasnt anybody left, Northrop said. But it probably shouldnt have come down to that.

The GeneClip™ U1 Hairpin Cloning Systems consist of linearized plasmids designed for fast and easy cloning of human target sequences to express short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) in human cells. After transfection into human cells, in vivo expression of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be effectively achieved from DNA constructs that contain a U1 RNA polymerase promoter and a siRNA template. The U1 promoter has been used successfully to generate hairpin siRNAs in vivo.

Expand to Read More »
To insert hairpin siRNAs into the pGeneClip™ Vectors, two short DNA oligonucleotides are annealed to form a DNA insert that contains the hairpin siRNA target sequence. After annealing, the oligonucleotides form overhangs that are compatible with the pGeneClip™ Vector ends and facilitate sticky-end ligation. Once transfected, RNA polymerase II transcribes the hairpin insert sequences to generate hairpin siRNAs in vivo.

Myth vs. Fact Regarding the "Hockey Stick"
(1) In drawing conclusions regarding past regional temperature changes from proxy records, it is essential to assess proxy data for actual sensitivity to past temperature variability. In some cases (Soon and Baliunas, 2003, Soon et al, 2003) a global 'warm anomaly' has been defined for any period during which various regions appear to indicate climate anomalies that can be classified as being either 'warm', 'wet', or 'dry' relative to '20th century' conditions. Such a criterion could be used to define any period of climate as 'warm' or 'cold', and thus cannot meaningfully characterize past large-scale surface temperature changes.
(2) It is essential to distinguish (e.g. by compositing or otherwise assimilating different proxy information in a consistent manner—e.g., Jones et al., 1998; Mann et al., 1998, 1999; Briffa et al., 2001) between regional temperature changes and changes in global or hemispheric mean temperature. Specific periods of cold and warmth differ from region to region over the globe (see Jones and Mann, 2004), as changes in atmospheric circulation over time exhibit a wave-like character, ensuring that certain regions tend to warm (due, for example, to a southerly flow in the Northern Hemisphere winter mid-latitudes) when other regions cool (due to the corresponding northerly flow that must occur elsewhere). Truly representative estimates of global or hemispheric average temperature must therefore average temperature changes over a sufficiently large number of distinct regions to average out such offsetting regional changes. The specification of a warm period, therefore requires that warm anomalies in different regions should be truly synchronous and not merely required to occur within a very broad interval in time, such as AD 800-1300 (as in Soon et al, 2003; Soon and Baliunas, 2003).
MYTH #3: The "Hockey Stick" studies claim that the 20th century on the whole is the warmest period of the past 1000 years.
This is a mis-characterization of the actual scientific conclusions. Numerous studies suggest that hemispheric mean warmth for the late 20th century (that is, the past few decades) appears to exceed the warmth of any comparable length period over the past thousand years or longer, taking into account the uncertainties in the estimates (see Figure 1 in "Temperature Variations in Past Centuries and The So-Called 'Hockey Stick'"). On the other hand, in the context of the long-term reconstructions, the early 20th century appears to have been a relatively cold period while the mid 20th century was comparable in warmth, by most estimates, to peak Medieval warmth (i.e., the so-called "Medieval Warm Period"). It is not the average 20th century warmth, but the magnitude of warming during the 20th century, and the level of warmth observed during the past few decades, which appear to be anomalous in a long-term context. Studies such as those of Soon and associates (Soon and Baliunas, 2003; Soon et al, 2003) that consider only '20th century' conditions, or interpret past temperature changes using evidence incapable of resolving trends in recent decades , cannot meaningfully address the question of whether late 20th century warmth is anomalous in a long-term and large-scale context.
MYTH #4: Errors in the "Hockey Stick" undermine the conclusion that late 20th century hemispheric warmth is anomalous.
This statement embraces at least two distinct falsehoods. The first falsehood holds that the "Hockey Stick" is the result of one analysis or the analysis of one group of researchers (i.e., that of Mann et al, 1998 and Mann et al, 1999). However, as discussed in the response to Myth #1 above, the basic conclusions of Mann et al (1998,1999) are affirmed in multiple independent studies. Thus, even if there were errors in the Mann et al (1998) reconstruction, numerous other studies independently support the conclusion of anomalous late 20th century hemispheric-scale warmth.
