VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A Vancouver, Wash., couple is accused of imprisoning their adopted twins and only feeding them once a day.
Vancouver Police told The Columbian (http://bit.ly/pzJTEt ) Jeffrey and Sandra Weller are charged with five counts of second-degree assault and two counts of unlawful imprisonment. The twins, who were home schooled, have been placed in protective custody.
Court documents say the two 16-year-olds are emaciated and the parents kept food from them because they though they ate too much. Police say the parents are also accused of hitting the children with a board if they tried to "steal" food. The twins told police that as far back as they can remember food has been locked up in their house.
The couple is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 27.

|Zdeno Chara's two goals, Tuukka Rask's shutout lead Bruins past Flames
|12.17.13 at 9:37 pm ET
Zdeno Chara scored twice and Tuukka Rask shut out the Flames as the B's returned to TD Garden with a 2-0 victory Tuesday.
Calgary forward Lance Bouma high-sticked Kevan Miller in both the second and third period, and both resulted in power-play goals from Chara. David Krejci and Jarome Iginla had assists on both Chara goals, meaning Iginla has now registered a point agaist every NHL team in his career.
Rask made 20 saves in the shutout, his third of the season. Retto Berra stopped 29 of the 31 shots he saw in his second loss against the Bruins in eight days.
The Bruins will travel to face the Sabres in Buffalo Thursday.
– With his two goals, Chara leads NHL defensemen with nine strikes on the season, surpassing Torey Krug and Erik Karlsson (eight apiece). Six of Chara's nine goals this season have come on the power play.
– Though the shots were 10-9 in favor of the Bruins in the first period, they were lucky that Calgary stayed off the scoreboard in the first 20 minutes. Among their chances on which they failed to convert was a Brian McGrattan miss of an open net and two quick saves from Rask in succession on former B's first round pick Joe Colborne.
Colborne also couldn't finish on a third period play in which he was fed down low off the rush, so the Flames had their chances; they just didn't capitalize.
– Craig Cunningham made his NHL debut as Matt Fraser was kept out of the Bruins' lineup for an undisclosed ailment. The team did clarify that Fraser was not a healthy scratch. Cunningham played on Gregory Campbell's line with Jordan Caron.
– In not scoring Tuesday night, the Flames have still not scored at TD Garden since Oct. 19, 2006.
– Ryan Spooner only took faceoffs, but he won them all. Given how he started at the dot during this callup (and he was 1-for-6 last week against the Flames), that's progress.
– The Bruins could stand to do without any bad hits or unwise decision as their reputation heals in wake of Shawn Thornton's suspensions and Brad Marchand's antics in Vancouver, but Marchand turned in a bad hit from behind on Sean Monhahan in the second period. Monahan had already turned and his numbers were facing Marchand the whole way as the Bruins forward threw him into the boards. Marchand was assessed a two-minute boarding minor for the infraction, and it wouldn't be a surprised if he gets a call from Brendan Shanahan as well.
Marchand also missed the empty net twice when the Flames pulled Berra, including once from the hashmarks.
– The refs missed one of the toughest calls to miss when Matt Stajan high-sticked Zdeno Char in the Bruins' zone in the second period. Chara fell to the ice holding his right eye and remained down for a moment before skating off under his own power. The B's were on the power play shortly after following a Lance Bouma high sticking double minor for catching Kevan Miller in the face, and fortunately for the B's Chara was able to stay in the game and score on that power play.
Chara left the bench briefly later in the period but stayed in the game.
– Krug has had a quiet go of it goals-wise, as he has just one goal in his last 10 games.
|Chad Johnson likely in net for Bruins vs. Blue Jackets
|11.30.13 at 11:32 am ET
It would appear that Chad Johnson will be between the pipes for Saturday night's game between the Bruins and the Blue Jackets. Both Johnson and Tuukka Rask participated in an optional morning skate for the Bruins, but Rask stayed out much longer than Johnson.
Johnson has started just four of the Bruins' 26 games this season. He is 3-1-0 with a .917 save percentage and a 2.21 goals-against average. His last start came last Saturday against the Hurricanes, with each of his last two starts resulting in overtime wins for the Bruins.
Saturday's game is the second of a back-to-back for the Bruins, as it follows Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers. It's the fifth time the Bruins have had back-to-backs this season, but the first in which the B's haven't had to travel. Rask has started both games of two of the Bruins' back-to-backs thus far, with the two goalies splitting the other two to this point.
The Bruins will have four days between games following Saturday, as they won't play again until they face the Canadiens in Montreal on Thursday.
Nathan Horton did not travel to Boston and remains on long-term injury reserve for the Blue Jackets. He has yet to play for them since getting offseason shoulder surgery, though he has been skating with them since last week.

|Tuukka Rask in line for third start in four nights
|11.21.13 at 12:34 pm ET
After playing both games of a back-to-back Monday and Tuesday against the Hurricanes and Rangers, Tuukka Rask appears to be on tap to be between the pipes again for the Bruins on Thursday against the Blues.
Rask was the first goaltender off the ice in the team's morning skate and should have his work cut out for him Thursday evening. The Blues are fifth in the NHL with 70 goals, led by left winger Alexander Steen, whose 17 goals are tied with Alexander Ovechkin for tops in the NHL. St. Louis stands fourth in the Western Conference, though its 31 points (14-3-3) are two more than the Eastern Conference-leading Bruins (14-6-1).
Rask is coming off a dominant outing Tuesday in New York in which he made 43 saves in a 2-1 victory over the Rangers. He has played all but three of the Bruins' 21 contests this season.
|Shawn Thornton on D&C: Tuukka Rask 'unbelievable' vs. Rangers
|11.20.13 at 11:44 am ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton joined Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning to discuss the team's recent hot streak.
That streak includes a 2-1 win over the Rangers on the road Tuesday night. Thornton tallied the game's first goal, his third of the season. He also scored against the Blue Jackets last Thursday. Despite the offensive outburst, he still recognizes his role as the team enforcer.
'That's still my job, first and foremost,' Thornton said. '[I've been] a little lucky the last few games, but I've still got my real job.'
Linemate Daniel Paille scored a shorthanded, game-winning goal in the second period.
'After Paille scored that goal, it kind of gave us a little bit of a lift, and you tend to get pumped up when you see the grinders pop one shorthanded,' Thornton said.
In the last five games, the fourth line — Thornton, Paille and Gregory Campbell — has a combined four goals, three assists and 19 shots.
'I always joke with the media that it doesn't matter who's on my line, we're always the fourth line,' Thornton said. 'I remember a few years ago, when [Blake] Wheeler was here, I got bumped up to play with [David] Krejci and Wheeler, but everyone just talked about how Wheeler and Krejci got demoted to the fourth line. It doesn't matter who it is, if I'm on it, it's still the fourth line.'
While Thornton and Paille provided the offensive fireworks in Tuesday's victory, goalie Tuukka Rask shut down the Rangers. He allowed just one goal, and recorded 43 saves.
'Every time we play against those guys he's unbelievable,' Thornton said. 'I think he just really enjoys the challenge of facing Henrik Lundqvist. He earned it last night, he was unbelievable.'
Despite Thornton's solid play of late, coach Claude Julien opted to make him a healthy scratch for the Bruins' 4-1 win over the Hurricanes on Monday.
'I don't like sitting out, obviously, no one likes being the guy that's the odd man out,' Thornton said. 'He told me that it wasn't because of my play, that I've been playing pretty well, it's just [Jordan] Caron was coming up on sitting out 10 games straight, I think, and he wanted to get him in. And Carolina didn't really have an enforcer threat, so it was as good a time as any to try to get him back in the game.'

|Tuukka Rask steals two points vs. Rangers
|11.19.13 at 10:11 pm ET
Tuukka Rask tied a career high with 43 saves Tuesday as the Bruins' netminder stole a 2-1 win over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
The Bruins, who lost Dennis Seidenberg early, were able to escape the first period scoreless despite the Rangers holding a 16-6 edge in shots on goal. The B's then got second-period goals from Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille, the latter of which was a shorthanded tally. However, on the same penalty that Paille beat Henrik Lundqvist for his third goal of the season, Derick Brassard snapped the Bruins' penalty kill streak at 33 consecutive kills by beating Rask with a snap shot.
Boston had to play basically the entire game without Seidenberg, who left the game after playing just one shift and did not return. Seidenberg, who entered the game second on the team in minutes played with an average of 22:07 a night, was announced out with an undisclosed injury late in the first period. The B's also lost Matt Bartkowski (knee) for a stretch in the second period, but he returned for the third.
The game concluded a three-game road trip for the Bruins, who will play five of their next six games in Boston beginning with Thursday's game against the Blues.
– Rask was sensational for the B's when considering that he was both playing behind a Seidenberg-less defensive unit and was playing his second game in as many nights.
Rask's biggest save early came on a penalty shot from Chris Kreider, who was taken down on a breakaway by Johnny Boychuk while the Rangers were on the power play. Kreider tried going stick-side on Rask but was stopped, helping extend the Bruins' penalty kill streak to 33.
Rask reprised his magic against Kreider in the third with the former BC product on another breakaway. Kreider actually could have had four goals on the night were it not for Rask coming up with big stops, and the Bruins were happy to settle for zero goals from Kreider.
– The Merlot Liners have their fun with Lundqvist, surprisingly. After their big series against the Rangers in the second round last year, goals from Thornton and Paille meant that both players now have four points against the Rangers in the teams' last four meetings. Thornton has a goal and three assists, while Paille has two goals and a pair of helpers.
– While things have been up-and-down for Brad Marchand, Thornton's goal doesn't get scored without him. With Marchand driving hard to the net entering the zone, two Rangers focused their attention on him rather than respecting Thornton, who was able to get a clean look and fire a shot past the glove of Lundqvist.
– If Seidenberg is out for any stretch of time, that means the Bruins might have to make a call-up. It all would depend on whether Adam McQuaid is ready to return from his injury. If he is not and Seidenberg's injury keeps him off the ice for more games, Kevan Miller would likely get the call. Miller was the team's last cut in training camp.
Bartkowski, meanwhile, was clearly hampered after returning for the third period, though he was still able to log over 21 minutes. His status going forward will be worth keeping an eye on.
– At long last, the Bruins' penalty kill streak is over thanks to Brassard's snapshot with three seconds remaining on David Krejci's goaltender interference penalty. Rask clearly didn't get a good look at Brassard's shot from the left dot, as Johnny Boychuk appeared to be screening him on the play. Still worth noting that the B's broke even on that penalty, as Paille scored prior to Brassard's tally.
– Speaking of Marchand, he took a dumb penalty early in the third period when he cross-checked Mats Zuccarello into the boards from behind. Zuccarello had his numbers to Marchand the whole time, so it was no case of bad luck or the player turning at the last second. The narrative about Marchand needing to play on the edge to be effective is bogus. Taking a bad penalty late in a one-goal game is no way to snap out of a funk.
|Chad Johnson ready for more work
|11.13.13 at 1:33 pm ET
WILMINGTON — If Tuukka Rask has played more than any Bruins goaltender under Claude Julien through the first 17 games of a season, that would mean that backup Chad Johnson has played the least of any Bruins goaltender under Claude Julien through the first 17 games of a season.
With just two games under his belt, Johnson is both happy to help the team however he can and eager to get back between the pipes. After all, Johnson says, "you're only as good as your last game." That's not so great when your last game was the Bruins' worst of the season, a 3-1 mess against the Islanders on Nov. 2.
"It's tough in this sort of situation," Johnson said. "You play a game and you might not get another one for a week or two weeks. You're only as good as your last game. For me, sometimes it's two weeks. It's sort of tough to deal with sometimes, but you just be mentally strong and worry about having good practice and be ready for an opportunity when it does come up again."
The reason it's been all Tuukka all the time around these parts is largely because of the Bruins' schedule early on, with lots of days off between games and only two back-to-backs to this point.
"It's tough only playing in two games in two months, but that's the situation, right?" Johnson said. "The more you play, the more comfortable you'll get. It's kind of like anything you do. The more you play, the more confident you'll be, the more comfortable you'll be. For myself, now that the first month's over, getting in more games will help a lot more to get in more of a rhythm and feel more comfortable."
Indeed, the opportunities should increase in the near future. The Bruins' next four games are parts of back-to-backs, as they play Thursday and Friday and then Monday and Tuesday.
"I think it was pretty obvious with the slow start that it allowed us time to get [Rask] going again and get some rest, but the schedule will get heavier and we're going to have to lean on Chad more and more," Julien said. "We know that he's in situation where he hasn't played much and we need to allow him to find his groove a little bit if we expect to get some positive performances from him."

Film: "From Sydney with Love"; Music Director: Sohail Sen, Thor Patridge and Nabin Laskar; Singers: Sohail Sen, Roshni Baptist,Mohit Chauhan, Monali Thakur Mika Singh, Palak, Neeraj Sridhar, Brooklyn Shanti.
"From Sydney with Love" marks the debut of many a people, including the stars and the director, and interestingly the soundtrack offers fresh and tempting music to the listeners. Sohail Sen, who gathered many a cheer for his work in "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan", has composed the music for this one.
Taking you straight to Australian soil, the album kicks off with the title track "Feeling love in Sydney" with the listener welcomed by Didgeridoos, a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians 1,500 years ago and it is still very popular.
The track than gives you a hip-hop feel and some good electronic sounds have been added to keep you grooving. Chorus is extremely good with backing vocals by Roshni Baptist, but it is Sohail's voice that steals the show here. The track will surely rock on the musical charts.
It also has a remix version with the dialogues from the film and some peppy beats to transform it into a dance number. However, the original is a better option in terms of composition.
The next song is "Ho jayega". With Mohit Chauhan behind the mike, seldom does a song go haywire and he proves it with the song which has soulful melody. The singer has got good support from Monal Thakur. Together they mesmerise you completely. It has an acoustic touch. Although the composition is simple, it manages to leave an impact with its essence of love.
There is a remix version too, which is a total dud.
Time for some Bhangra as Mika Singh takes centrestage with "Khatkaa Khatkaa" - it has good dhol beats coupled with electronic sounds to make you dance. Mika is on a hit spree and this one is going to join the list.
Everything about "Naino ne" is just beautiful. Palak starts off the song with some Bengali lines and than just bowls you over with her delicate vocals. The subtle melody is comforting to the ears and Mohammed Salamat has turned out to be perfect partner for her. Together, they make you fall in love. A perfect song to welcome the monsoon with your loved one.
Next up is "Item ye hi fi". It is laced with sound of guitar riffs and techno beats. Neeraj Sridhar is good with the vocals but it is the composition that impresses you more with its diverse sounds.
Last but not the least is the track "Pyaari Pyaari", where Thor Patridge and Nabin Laskar dole out a reggae composition by joining Sohail Sen. Brooklyn Shanti gives you a taste of Calypso, a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago, albeit with some Bengali lyrics here and there. Sohail also has sung a bit and the track is total enjoyment.
Final verdict is that the album is definitely worth a shot and deserves all the love from the listeners for its fantastic songs.

I haven't exactly been shy about expressing my observation that lot of the footage we've seen from the upcoming feature adaptation of Ender's Game has focused on the threat of alien invasion and the space war side of this story. So I'm especially excited to see the above clip from the film, which focuses on the lead character's training in Battle School.
If the trailers and TV spots for Ender's Game aren't selling you on the IMAX experience for this movie, perhaps this new poster will. The image shows the silhouetted figure of Ender Wiggin standing in front of a row of monitors while giant freaking lasers blast off in front of him.
The promos for Ender's Game focus a lot on the alien war man is preparing to fight, but the photos for the feature adaptation of Orson Scott Card's novel tell a different story, as they place a higher emphasis on the preparation aspect of this story as opposed to the war. And while we're on the subject of emphasis, does anyone else notice there's an abundance of Petra in the promotional content lately?
A lot of what we've seen from the Ender's Game promotional content has focused on the threat of an alien war -- the latest TV spot included -- and given the backdrop of this futuristic story, that's not all that surprising. The cast -- which includes Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley and Asa Butterfield -- and the visual effects are two huge selling points for the film. But those who've read Orson Scott Card's novel know there's a bit more to this story than thrilling space battles and apocalyptic alien invasion imagery.
Those die-hard Ender's Game fans eager for the film to finally make its way into theaters may already be aware that the 2014 calendar for the film has recently become available for sale. The wall calendar includes a number of colorful images from the feature adaptation of Orson Scott Card's popular sci-fi novel.
Fall is upon us and in about a months and a half, the feature adaptation of Orson Scott Card's novel Ender's Game will arrive in theaters at long last. The latest two posters follow a series of propaganda-style marketing, all of which reminds us that "the next invasion is imminent." This first one takes a more explosive approac, showing a ship mid-destruction, set below the words "It's Us or Them."
It's likely a recurring childhood daydream to imagine that one day someone might show up and tell you that you're extraordinary and destined for great things. In literary form, this might involve some fantastical, fictional location where only the most gifted and special children get to go to achieve said greatness.
More controversy for Ender's Game? Ok, not really, as I don't think reusing disaster footage from a previous movie is particularly scandalous. Still, one Reddit user did manage to spot a glimpse of a familiar scene in the Summit film's recently released trailer. It looks like Summit dipped into at least one of its previous films to create the disaster footage that's revealed early on in the trailer.
A day after the final poster for Ender's Game landed online and just under three months ahead of the film's arrival in theaters comes the final trailer for the feature adaptation of Orson Scott Card's beloved sci-fi novel. Fans in attendance of the Summit panel at Comic-Con got a glimpse of the footage revealed in the video
The latest clip different from the first trailer gives us comprehensive looks at the massive sci-fi worlds Hood has constructed from Orson Scott Cards seminal novel. It establishes young Asa Butterfield (Hugo) as the chosen warrior meant to protect our planet from an extraterrestrial invasion.
In the movie Hugos Asa Butterfield stars as Ender Wiggin, a boy who has an incredible task set upon his shoulders. Ender lives in a world that was forever changes 70 years earlier when aliens invaded. Preparing for a future attack, the government has created a special advanced military school where gifted children will be trained to become the soldiers the world needs. But as he advances in his training, it becomes clear Ender alone could be the savior of all mankind.
Though there were probably a ton of geeks psyched to get a look at Ender's Game during the film's Hall H panel at Comic-Con yesterday, but plenty of others-- OK, fine, all of them-- were dying to get a look at Harrison Ford in person. And while those of us stuck at home didn't get to see Ford scowl in the flesh, he's at least at the center of the film's first clip, which introduces us to the heroics of Mazer Rackham and treats us as if we're enrolling in Battle School right alongside Ender
Ahead of the Ender's Game panel at Comic-Con today, I had the chance to sit down with director Gavin Hood and producer Roberto Orci to chat about the adaptation of Orson Scott Card's popular sci-fi novel. In addition to discussing the task of bringing Ender Wiggin to life for the adaptation, Orci and Hood spoke about the dark tone of the story, the violence and how they adapted the "mind" game that's played in the book.
The big-budget adaptation of Ender's Game is already running into its share of controversy, with the studio separating itself from the anti-gay views of the book's writer, Orson Scott Card. And while the road for a big-screen Ender's Game has undeniably been paved by The Hunger Games
Summit is doubling up on futuristic adaptations with their SDCC panel this year, giving fans a look at both Ender's Game and Divergent. We're covering each film with a separate live blog. This is the live-blog for Ender's Game, which is based on a novel by Orson Scott Card and stars Asa Butterfield (Hugo) as Ender Wiggin, a gifted child who's recruited to attend a space-set Battle School where man is preparing other gifted children to fight in the anticipated war against an alien race called the Formics.
Among the films featured at Comic-Con this year is Ender's Game, which is not only set to be featured in a panel, but is also on display through a walk through "fan experience," which offers a much more vivid preview of the film that's set to arrive in theaters this fall. After picking up my badge and getting some much needed sustenance after a day of traveling, I officially kicked off my 2013 Comic-Con experience by checking out HGTV and Summit's Ender's Game Fan experience.
This week, as the world braces for Comic-Con, we talk about the boycott of Ender's Game and the outrage over author Orson Scott Card's views on gay rights. Does it mean anything to boycott a movie based on the views of the book's author? Will it accomplish anything? We also talk about Katey finally catching up on Game of Thrones, Da7e wonders if you have to believe in ghosts to be scared by ghost movies, we remember our fondest Comic-Con experiences, and we pick our favorite squirm-inducing moments of movie violence
ummit-Lionsgate seems to have distanced themselves from Card while promoting the film. For example, they they reference the best-selling book on the poster, but make no mention of Card's name. And it's also worth pointing out that he's not among the panelists promoting the film at Comic-Con next week. Today, Lionsgate Entertainment approached the subject more directly, issuing a statement about their take on Card's outspoken views...
Comic-Con is nearly upon us, which means in about a week's time, we'll start to see first and new previews for some of TV and film's most anticipated projects, among which are Carrie,Ender's Game and Orphan Black, all three of which are featured front and center on the bonus covers for Entertainment Weekly's upcoming issue.
Youve probably noticed Card has been absent from the bulk of the Enders Game promotional material, and his narrow-minded views are the reason why. Of course, those views have nothing to do with the book or the upcoming movie, both of which are far more concerned with military and political subject matter.

"The gentle waves of Side" Top 5 Page for this destination Side by lotharlerch
Side Travel Guide: 152 reviews and 392 photos
After the lousy Alpine summer 2005 Anjutka and me felt the strong wish for Sun and Sea. We had only a narrow window in the agenda for both of us together to plan a holiday trip and found an interesting "Last Minute" offer and took it without too much previous planning or research about it. (we did a few hours before booking not even know whether we should decide for Greece, Egypt, Spain or Turkey... )
To be exact: it was for the first time in my life that I booked such a trip via a travel agency! I did all the other travel of my life so far without the use of such arrangements. But I have to confess: what we got turned out to be very nice at the end and an excellent value for money.
The particular charme of Side is the fact that you find great Hellenistic and Byzantine ruins only a few minutes walk away from the hotels and the beach.
- Pros:in our case an excellent value for money
- Cons:far too touristy - but we were prepared to meet that
- In a nutshell:nice holiday for a very reasonable price

They used to simplify matters by throwing dynamite into the sea or along coast. This killed off attendant eco-system. Now sea-fish attracts a tax and tourists do not like to pay the extra and locals can't be bothered to explain again and again.
A very nice place to have the sun and the sea at the same moment and Hellenistic and Byzantine ruins a few minutes walk from the beach! Thanks Lothar for sharing!
A. mit Efes-bier in Side - the best side of Turkey : relax in a great surrounding & nice company !!
Good Photos and reviews, going May 09 so most helpful. Thanks. Doreen

Will I get penalized by Google if I simply use ASP and put a "response.redirect" on the old pages and send them to the new version of the pages? Or will Google see this as duplicate content since there will be two web-addresses displaying the same content?
Thanks for any advice.
Otherwise, google doesn't care. Those old links will rot in google's database forever until no one decides to view them again. Redirects are a good idea though. It's what we use on our website http://www.example.com it used to be http://www.example.org
The direct link works differently though, but you get the jist. You can still find LOTS of links to http://www.example.org floating about out there. But they are either dead (still working on the redirects myself...a lot of files) or lead to example.com.

At the Hundredth Universal Esperanto Congress, and Other News
August 6, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- In 1969, Life ran a photo essay called "What it takes to be a lady author anymore," with predictably outmoded advice: "swim a little," for starters, "exercise in a bikini," and be "photographed in bed." The magazine photographed Jeanne Rejaunier—who was promoting a new novel called, ironically enough, The Beauty Trap—in various titillating poses, and also raking leaves in a Victorian dress. "Just possibly because she smiles so prettily on the book jacket (the back and the front of the book)," Life wrote, "The Beauty Trap is now in its fourth printing."
- Today in obscure centennials: "Last week the 100th Universal Congress of Esperanto was held in Lille. The public program included a traditional dance workshop in the Place du Théâtre, an ecumenical service in the Eglise Saint-Maurice and concerts by Esperanto singers. There were also introductory lessons in Esperanto, and an international football match between Esperanto and Western Sahara. (The match was abandoned at half-time with Western Sahara 4–0 up.)"
- Rock music and fiction haven't blended terribly well over the years—there's a Great Jones Street here, a Goon Squad there, and not much between. But 2014 saw no fewer than five entrants in the ongoing contest for Great American Rock Novel, and "interestingly, none of these 2014 titles concerns itself with conveying the over-the-top elements of rock on the page. Rather, they focus on characters dabbling in rock within the larger context of their more domestic pursuits: growing up, falling in love, finding a path, having a family; in short, the arcs that have been part of the novel's scope since at least Austen. Much of the trouble for these characters comes when their more universal journeys collide with their need to make music, play in band, tour in an airbrushed bus."
- Salvador Dalí's childhood diaries remain untranslated, which is a shame, because they find him witnessing the unrest in the lead up to the Spanish Civil War: "At this point in the journal, the illustrations by Dalí … have become morbid. An old man hangs from a noose with his tongue lolling out. On the facing page, a warrior with sword in hand extends the severed head of a long-haired man toward the viewer."
- On the literary scene in Ukraine, which has a strange emphasis on finality: "Ukrainian literature—or Ukrainian culture more broadly—employs the words last quite often: last territory, last bastion, the last issue of a magazine, the last books of a bankrupt publisher, the last Ukrainian-speaking readers, writers, translators. There is a well-known contemporary classic, a collection of essays by one of Ukraine's best-known authors, Yuri Andrukhovych, called My Last Territory; there is an art management agency called Last Bastion."
Staff Picks: Moaning, Sobbing, Trolling
July 10, 2015 | by The Paris Review
Just yesterday, I snuck an advance-reader's copy of Lorenzo Chiera's Shards: Fragments of Verses, translated from the Italian by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, off a colleague's bookshelf and devoured it on my subway ride home. The pocket-size book comprises delicious morsels of twelfth-century verse by an otherwise unknown fellow from Testaccio. Though the fragments—plucked from scratches on parchment paper or fiber sacks—are no more than a few lines each, they brim with raunch and grime and love. Chiera breathes sex into most verses, which are bound to make one blush with either delight or despair. Some read as playful winks, others as moans, and still others as desperate, carnal prayers. "Hearing Chiera for the first time," Ferlinghetti writes in his introduction, "we soon realize we are in the presence of a savage erotic consciousness, as if the lust-driven senses were suddenly awakened out of a hoary sleep of a thousand years … He's vulgar. He's mad. He's uncouth. Yet he is innocent." Here's a little taste of Chiera himself: "Sexy Nonny / in her silk nun's habit / behind the arras / of the cult of the Virgin / stuck her tongue in my mouth / when I was fourteen / Made me cream." —Caitlin Youngquist
I've never read any fan fiction, and I never made it all the way through Pretty Woman, so devotees of either may take this recommendation with a grain of salt, but I loved Michael Friedman's novel Martian Dawn, all about a couple of movie stars (viz Richard and Julia) whose off-screen romance is strained by a visit to the Red Planet. No doubt half the jokes went over my head. It didn't matter. Friedman's urbane silliness and élan hark back to the glittering twilight of high camp—without seeming to hark back. Hats off to Little A for reissuing Martian Dawn and Other Novels. I didn't know anyone could still make it look so easy to have so much fun on the page. —Lorin Stein
Roz Chast's Pysanky
March 18, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
Roz Chast does excellent work on paper—and sure enough, her latest memoir, Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, has just won a National Book Critics Circle Award—but I think her real medium is the egg. She's been doing great things with pysanky (i.e. Ukrainian painted eggs) for at least a decade. Her latest efforts will be on display, along with her cartoons and her work in textiles, at Danese Corey Gallery starting this Friday.
As Alexandra Schwartz explained in the The New Yorker last year, the pysanky tradition goes back to pagan times, "as do the eggs' motifs: the sun; triangles that represent air, light, and water or birth, life, and death, from long before the Holy Trinity came along; plants and animals; talismanic lines and spirals indicating eternity."

"A Noisy Cavalcade of Fraud," and Other News
February 5, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- A reminder from literature: capitalism was always a disaster, even in the days when virtue and commerce were thought to go hand in hand. "The gentlemanly capitalism we were brought up to believe in was, if not wholly mythical, a sideshow in a noisy cavalcade of fraud, theft, and what Walter Bagehot called 'ingenious mendacity' on all sides … We should return to the pages of Dickens and Trollope to remind ourselves that there were wrong 'uns at every level and turn of nineteenth-century commerce, from crooked agents, clerks, brokers, and jobbers to 'lords on the take, knights on the make'—and that 'the thieves were often difficult to distinguish from the legitimate,' to the cost of the ill-informed and gullible investor and customer."
- In Donetsk, Ukraine, as artillery continues to barrage the city, the show must go on. "The persistent shelling was barely audible through the thick stone walls of the Donetsk National Academic Opera … The highly regarded opera continues a regular schedule of weekend performances, as does the neighboring dramatic theater. Performers at the popular Donetsk circus, having finished their New Year's routines, are planning a new round of shows in February. The planetarium open every weekend. Many cinemas are operating."
- Akhil Sharma on Chekhov the journalist: "Sakhalin Island is the greatest work of journalism from the nineteenth century … It has the pleasure of moving through a physical, distinct world and the keenness of documentary analysis."
- Van Gogh, method actor: He began his professional life "in the Borinage, the former industrial and mining region to the southwest of Mons … He originally intended to be a pastor, but the sickly, impoverished mining communities were often baffled by his attempts at asceticism and his clumsy efforts to fit in by wearing rags, blackening his face and sleeping on the ground."
- "Many of us have at least one thing we have put our name to that we have later regretted and desperately hoped might never again resurface to embarrass us, something that is far from guaranteed in an age of social-media outrage cycles … Pat Conroy's novel The Great Santini was such a thinly-veiled portrayal of his tyrannical military father that Conroy's mother presented it to the judge at her divorce proceedings, saying, 'everything you need is in there.' "
The Cows That Might've Been, and Other News
August 6, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- "The image of a syphilitic Joyce is one that few scholars have wanted to conjure in print"—but evidence suggests that Joyce did indeed suffer from syphilis. It's not just in his medical history but in Ulysses, where two scholars "found syphilis everywhere … Their journal article for Archives of Internal Medicine includes a two-page table listing apparent references to syphilitic symptoms throughout Ulysses … 'The letter s hisses throughout the book as a reminder of the s in syphilis (a word that not only begins but also ends with s, as does the novel)."
- In Greece, a new museum reconstructs the inventions of the ancients, "including Archimedes' screw, the robot-servant of Philon, the automatic theatre of Heron, ancient war machines, and the famous analogue 'computer' of Antikythera."
- The Paris Review's art editor, Charlotte Strick, discusses her process in designing the jacket for Lydia Davis's Can't and Won't. " 'The Cows' is the longest story in this collection, and cows by nature 'can't and won't.' They typically require a lot of waiting around. This sparked an idea early on in my design process … I tried an all-over wallpaper pattern of tiny cows that I imagined as a pre-printed case."
- A photo of brawling Ukrainian parliamentarians has all the beauty and compositional fluency of a Renaissance painting.
- Scrabble has expanded its dictionary, adding some five thousand words—most of them are expectable neologisms like frenemy and bromance, but others are more novel: e.g., quinzhee, a shelter made by hollowing out a snow pile, and qajaq, an Inuit precursor to the Kayak.
Youth, Eternal Life, and Other News
March 19, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Some writers—the white male ones, mostly—expect to attain immortality through their work. Others simply write about eternal life.
- And others still must wait for the afterlife for their work to get the attention it deserves. Walter Benjamin, for instance, was "all but forgotten in the years leading up to his death … his name had been kept alive by a small number of friends and colleagues, the kind of trickle of a readership that hardly suggested he would one day be counted among the most significant and far-ranging critics, essayists, and thinkers of the past 100 years."
- But the ebb and flow of critical reputation is almost a given these days, when we're always developing provocative new rubrics with which to classify our writers. E.g.: "As novelists spend much of their day watching the grass grow, it is only logical that they can be defined according to their landscaping technique. Thus Donald Antrim is a push-mower novelist, while Rachel Kushner is a ride-mower novelist."
- There were not always "teenagers." A new documentary examines the peculiar history of the concept, which was "the result and invention of adolescent girls … There is a kind of sexist quality to it as well, a crucifixion of the young female figure."
- As Ukraine becomes the nexus of geopolitics, pickup artists worry about the implications for getting laid. Would EU membership make Ukrainian women more independent, and thus more difficult to seduce? "Kiev's pussy paradise potential has been permanently damaged … It's very sad."

Customer Reviews
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 07, 2014Reviewer: MB in CaliforniaI was amazed at how nice this feels. How long a little bottle lasts and the results on face & hair. I replaced the cap to use a dropper; to not waste and not pour too much at once. It takes only a tiny bit to be effective! Too much, and you have a bad hair day- oily. Otherwise it is light, and airy on hair and does NOT weigh it down. Cuts the frizz. I used about 3 drops, rubbed in hands and buffed through hair (long, med thick, thin hair). It really really made the hair moisturized, smooth and soft- but not flat, if you do not apply too much. I live in a very dry climate and this helps protect my hair from drying out between shampoos/moisture balms. I also have not seen any negative effect on my hair coloring that I use regularly. This tiny amount, given a few minutes, had amazing results. I would sometimes put one drop in with my sunscreen or other face moisturizers and it made them soft and smooth on nice. Love it!

You could be the Walker's new "Internet Cat Video Festival Coordinator"
Do you watch online cat videos all day? Do you want to get paid for it?
The Walker Art Center is hiring an "Internet Cat Video Festival Coordinator," or in other words, the internet's collective dream job.
See Also:
- Internet Cat Video Festival 2013: A recap
- Cover: Internet Cat Video Film Festival purrs into Minnesota
"We've been fielding requests to tour the Cat Vid Fest, and this position is providing administrative support for that," explains Rachel Joyce, assistant director of public relations at the Walker.
Yes, that's right: The Walker's Internet Cat Video Film Festival is growing.
Signs that the fest has made it: When it hit the State Fair last year, it got its own butter sculpture.
Animal Planet video still
This is the festival that, in its first year, drew 10,000 people, international celebrity cats, and the New York Times to the Walker's backyard. It's made appearances at SXSW. It's gotten people dressed like cats to flock to the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand.
And now you could be a part of it. The Walker position is part-time and temporary (it goes until August 30), but the museum is offering $16 an hour. Responsibilities include:
- Search for and identify content.
- Provide general support for the festival curator.
- Support the Cat Video Festival Curator in securing clearance and rights for usage from clip creators.
- Attend all Cat Video Festival related Walker meetings.
- Research and secure event amenities such as Port-a-Potties, bike racks, and tents.
As for qualifications, the Walker's calling for a candidate with experience programming live events, knowledge of Google Docs and social media, and a driver's license.
Not listed among the criteria is an obsessive love of cat videos. When we asked Joyce whether it's required, she replied, "It kind of makes life more enjoyable in general, don't you think?"
For non-applicants, another PSA: Year three of cat vids will take over the Walker's Open Field on Thursday, August 14. Start working on your whiskers.

Shipping stocks are volatile. They can fluctuate 5-8% a day, sometimes 10%. When all you guys set your trailing stop losses at 5-7% and we have a major down day in the market, you add to the volatility by having all your stop loss orders execute, further compounding the decline.
Talk about volatilty with the stocks in this sector, I grabbed some NM today. It is definitely one of the finest built rollercoasters out there.
NM is the LAST shipper I'd buy...The proof is in the pumping being done on every single shipper's message board !!

November: Eat raw carrots, celery, or broccoli for an afternoon snack.
December: Eat a vegetarian meal (with beans or dairy foods for protein) at least once a day.
Frances Wiltsie
Accidents are a major cause of disability and death. The Surgeon General's Report ranks motor vehicle accidents third, and "all other accidents" fourth, among causes of death for adults from age 25 to 44; for adults from age 45 to 64, they rank seventh and fifth respectively. 1
We are all familiar with the pain, suffering, and disability associated with burns, fractures, and knife wounds. Minor injuries result in aggravation and inconvenience--sprained fingers taped together, a twisted ankle that limits dancing, and stiffness, bruising, and soreness. Consider how one person with a leg in a cast might hold back all other residents in a group home who want to go out; at the least, the outing might require extra staffing. Reflect on the political consequences of a preventable fire in a group home, given the tendency of some communities and families to oppose community placement.
Accidents are serious. Even when minor, they can have a significant negative effect on quality of life. Service providers are held to high standards for safety, both by the community and by regulatory agencies. This article will review safety precautions for families and group homes.
People with mental retardation may have difficulty recognizing a safety hazard and determining an appropriate response. Their physical ability to respond may also be impaired or delayed. More anticipation

It's QP-argh!
ANGRY Harry Redknapp last night blasted his FA Cup flops and vowed to bring in new faces to save QPR's Premier League future.
Some of our defending was diabolical.
"It might look like our reserves – but look at the players we had out there.
''An England goalkeeper, two players from Manchester United, another from Real Madrid. Surely they should beat a team from two divisions below. But this tells me what I need to know – that we are not bottom of the Premier League for nothing.
"Some of these players think they are better than they are. They knocked on my door saying they wanted to play. They got their chance and they blew it.
"I don't like losing any football match and I will have the right hump tonight."qpR-argh!

(WJLA) - Some military families can't escape the fallout from the federal government shutdown. But some operations, which would hardly be considered vital, continue uninterrupted.
Civilian workers at Joint Base Andrews got some unexpected time off. They, along with nearly 800,000 federal workers, are furloughed.
But Fore Echoes across the golf course at Joint Base Andrews is funded with player dues, so play continues in the midst of all the stagnation.
"It's horrible, that is all I can say. It's horrible. It's terrible," says Lynn Hagans.
"They pay for it with their dues and green fees so I don't think it's a problem," says Jay Smith.
One aspect of the shutdown making military life difficult - commissaries are shuttered. Some military families stocked up in advance of the shutdown, but{}others didn't shop in time.{}
"We have to come off base to shop now, but we are not too picky wherever we can get our groceries," says Kara Prince.
The cost of groceries off-base is digging into their pockets.{}
"Prices are higher off base," says Jerry Anderson.
While there is a disagreement on whether it is a good idea to keep the golf couse open, most of the people ABC7 spoke with are in agreement in their hope that the government works out a deal soon so it can get back to business.

The Kremlin's evacuation of Russians from Syria on Tuesday marks a turning point in its view of the civil war, representing increasing doubts about Bashar Assad's hold on power and a sober understanding that it has to start rescue efforts before it becomes too late.
The Kremlin's evacuation of Russians from Syria on Tuesday marks a turning point in its view of the civil war, representing increasing doubts about Bashar Assad's hold on power and a sober understanding that it has to start rescue efforts before it becomes too late.
The operation has been relatively small-scale – involving fewer than 100 people, mostly women and children – but it marks the beginning of what could soon turn into a risky and challenging operation. Analysts warn that rescuing tens of thousands of Russians from the war-stricken country could quickly become daunting as the opposition makes new advances in the battle against the Syrian president.
"It's a sign of distrust in Assad, who seems unlikely to hold on to power," said Alexei Malashenko, a Middle East expert with the Carnegie Endowment's Moscow office.
Russia has been Assad's main ally, pooling together with China at the United Nations to block international sanctions against his regime. But it has increasingly distanced itself from the Syrian ruler, signaling it is resigned to the prospect of him losing power.

On Tuesday, four buses carrying about 80 Russians, mainly women married to Syrians and their children, crossed into Lebanon, the first evacuation organized by Moscow since the start of the Syrian conflict nearly two years ago. Russia said a day earlier that about 100 of its citizens in Syria would be taken to Lebanon and flown home.
The land route was presumably chosen because of renewed fighting near the Damascus airport. The first of two planes sent to pick up the Russians took off late Tuesday from Beirut and landed shortly after 5 a.m. (0100 GMT) in Moscow.
The Emergencies Ministry, which sent the planes, said the passengers were being given medical examinations before leaving the airport. It was unclear if any of them had been injured in the fighting.
Malashenko said that the evacuation reflected a strong concern in Moscow that Assad's fall would put Russians in grave danger. "There is a strong likelihood that Assad's foes could unleash a massacre of those whom they see as his supporters," he said.
In addition to tens of thousands of Russians permanently living in Syria, most of whom are Russian women married to Syrian men and their children, there are also an unspecified number of diplomats and military advisers along with their families. The evacuees were permanent residents not connected to the embassy.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the news of Russians leaving Syria "is not surprising and it speaks to the continued deterioration of the security situation and the violence that Assad is leading against his own people."
Asked about the government's faith in Assad, Nuland added: "If you look at the Russian public statements over the last month, they have been evolving somewhat in terms of the level of confidence in whether Assad was going to make it or whether Russia actually had an interest in that."
Georgy Mirsky, the top Middle East expert with the Institute for World Economy and International Relations, a government-funded think tank, warned that Russians in Syria are facing growing risks.
"Many are reluctant to leave, hoping that the situation could somehow stabilize," he said. "But Aleppo is already half-ruined, and it will soon come to that in Damascus too. Sooner or later, Assad is going to lose."
Russia could rely on Assad to provide a military escort for caravans of refugees, but such protection may not be reliable enough with the Syrian army's resources drained by the need to battle rebels all around the country.
Refugee convoys could make an easy target for the rebels when they try to move to neighboring Lebanon for a flight home. Direct Russian flights to Syrian airfields also would be a risky option with rebels possessing portable anti-aircraft missiles.
"That's why they sent the planes now without waiting until the 11th hour when rebels come close to victory," Mirsky said.
Alexander Golts, an independent Moscow-based military analyst, said that if Russia sees Assad's defeat as imminent, it would have to quickly organize a massive air bridge to take its citizens home. He said that such an effort would be extremely challenging and require sending troops to protect an air base in Syria that would be chosen for the evacuation to make sure that no rebels armed with anti-aircraft weapons are in close vicinity.
Even now, with Assad's forces in control of the area around Damascus, Russian planes flew to Beirut in a clear move to reduce security risks, Golts said.
A Russian navy squadron, currently in the Mediterranean, is scheduled to conduct maneuvers off Syria's shores later this month. It includes four landing ships capable of carrying several hundred marines and armored vehicles.
Golts said that that the marines on board the vessels could be deployed to protect an airfield in Syria if Moscow decides to launch a massive evacuation effort.
"Under the most favorable circumstances, it will be barely enough to take control of an air base and ensure its relative security," Golts said. Protecting the area around the base chosen for evacuation is essential to reduce risks posed by portable anti-aircraft missiles, which rebels already have used to down Syrian military aircraft.
The Russian government has given no signal that such an operation could be in the making.
Russian officials have said that both planes and navy ships could be involved in the evacuation of Russian citizens. Russia has a navy base in the Syrian port of Tartus, the only such outpost outside the former Soviet Union, which could be used for loading the evacuees on sea vessels.
Officials haven't given any indication yet that the landing vessels now in the Mediterranean could take any evacuees on board. And after the ships head home after the maneuvers, it would take weeks for another squadron to reach the Mediterranean.
A mass evacuation of Russians from Syria would face other logistical challenges.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has said that it has contingency plans to evacuate Russians, but it has admitted that only a few thousand of tens of thousands of Russians have left their contact details at the Russian consulate.
Golts said that if the escalating fighting forces Russians to flee Syria en masse, they will have to get to the planes themselves through the war-torn country. "It's hard to imagine how they could organize military protection for convoys," he said.
Bradley Klapper contributed to this report from Washington.

Edmunds Gages will be exhibiting its Accu-Touch readout, a universal gaging amplifier that provides visual displays of shop floor or production-based dimensional measurements.
Capable of amplifying results from up to four separate gaging tools, the amplifier uses a 5.7" multi-color touchscreen to portray measurement results with resolutions from 0.010" to as fine as 0.000001". The industrial hardened touchscreen allows the user to adapt the amplifier for different measurement applications.
The device provides results for inch or metric measurements with its full-color graphics in dial form, which also include a digital numeric result for every feature measured. Accept and reject indicators remind the user if the feature measured conforms to preset limits.
The unit is available in two- or four-input models for Edmunds LVDT pencil probes, lever probes, or contact floats and bore gages. Model variations also include connectivity options with USB and serial ports available. Data witnessed on the displays can be off loaded to a Touch Flash memory stick or directly to a PC, network, or other data collection devices.
A docking A/E unit houses the optional one-, two-, three- or four-input air-to-electronic interface for air-gage tooling devices. Supplied with a filter/regulator for the incoming air supply, the A/E package is compatible with all types of dual-mastered air-gaging tooling including back pressure, flow, back-pressure bleed, and differential. The docking unit's Auto-Air shutoff valve can be equipped to sense use of the air tooling before initiating full pressure necessary for proper gaging. After a programmable period of non-use, the air turns off.
The company also offers a series of six App Sticks with pre-programmed setups for more complex gaging applications.

Here's a reprint of a story that published in Sunday's editions of the Mercury News and other Bay Area News Group publications. It was not available online until Sunday afternoon because of a technical problem.
Cal's recruiting class is like none it has compiled in ages, if ever. My sense is that the reaction to the Bears landing Ivan Rabb and especially Jaylen Brown was split on allegiance.
Reaction from Cal fans: Yes! Way to go Cuonzo!
Reaction from everyone else in college basketball: Wait. What?
Here's the story …
By Jon Wilner
Not surprisingly, Duke sat atop the rankings of college basketball's best recruiting classes at the close of the spring signing window.
But the runner-up was a stunner: Cal, which hasn't been a factor on the recruiting trail in decades, corralled the nation's No. 2 class — just ahead of luminaries such as Arizona and Kentucky, according to Scout.com.
The heart of Cal's four-player class is the tandem of Oakland big man Ivan Rabb and wing Jaylen Brown of Marietta, Georgia. Both are five-star prospects with game-changing potential for a program that has been long mired in mediocrity.
Combine Rabb and Brown with a strong veteran core, and the Bears have become the trendy pick to win the Pac-12 and make a run at the Final Four.
What in the name of Jason Kidd is going on?
