Jane Austen was one of the most famous English novelists of all time. She wrote incredibly well-received works of fiction during a time period when women rarely became authors. Her work is all the more remarkable since many of her novels are required reading in most school curriculums until this very day. Furthermore, Jane Austen's romance-filled fiction has earned her the status of being one of the earliest and most beloved "romance writers" in history.
Jane Austen was born in Hampshire, England in December 16, 1775. Her parents both came from gentry families. Jane's childhood was quite comfortable and solidly middle class. Jane had six brothers and one sister, Cassandra. Jane's sister was only two years older than her and was also her closet friend and confidant throughout her life. Jane's father was the rector of the Anglican parishes in the Steventon section of Hampshire. Jane's favorite brother, Henry, also had strong ties to the church since, after his attempts at being a banker failed, he became an Anglican clergyman. Henry also served as Jane's literary agent. Henry had a large and influential circle of London-based friends that included merchants, bankers, publishers, actors and painters. Henry introduced Jane to many of his friends and it is strongly believed that this vibrant social circle is where Jane got many ideas for the characters and plots in her novels.
Jane and Cassandra were both quite well educated which was something of a rarity for girls in 18th century England. They were both educated at a boarding school but were returned home, when Jane was only 11, because their family could not afford to send both daughters to the school long term. Jane supplemented her education by reading books in her father and uncle's libraries. The family also staged a series of plays in which Jane sometimes acted. For the rest of her life, Jane never lived anywhere outside the bounds of her family environment.
It is estimated that Jane started writing circa 1787 when she was only 12 years old. By all accounts, Jane's family was supportive of her writing—something that was also quite a rarity at the time. Jane's father even supplied his daughter with papers and pens and a writing desk to aid her experimentation with storytelling. Jane penned many poems, plays and stories for her family's amusement. She later combined 29 of these early works into three bound notebooks that are now referred to as the "Juvenilia" collection. Most of these pieces were written between 1787 and 1793 when Jane was aged 12 to 18.
As Jane Austen grew into adulthood she continued to live in her family home and maintained a vibrant social life. She regularly attended church, went to dances, socialized with friends and neighbors and read many novels. Jane was reportedly a good dancer and enjoyed the company of others although she never let her social life get in the way of her writing. In 1794, at the age of 19, Jane wrote "Lady Susan," a short novel about a widow seeking a husband for herself and her daughter. This novel was the most ambitious of Jane's early works. Despite her early writings, Jane did not get her first novel, "Sense and Sensibility," published until 1811 when she was 36. Yet, after the success of that first novel, Jane's career took off. She published "Pride and Prejudice" in 1813, "Mansfield Park" in 1814, "Emma" in 1815 and two posthumous works in 1818 titled "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion." All of these books were noted for their romantic plots and witty dialogue.
Although Jane Austen frequently wrote about romance she never married. When she was 20 she met and reportedly fell in love with an Irish-Huguenot named Tom Lefroy. However, Tom had little money and seemingly no way to support a wife. Hence, Jane's parents did not see him as a candidate to marry their daughter and disapproved of their relationship. After Jane met and befriended him her family intervened to keep him away from her and Jane never saw him again.
In December of 1802, at the age of 27, Jane received her only known marriage proposal. Jane and Cassandra had journeyed to Basingstoke to visit friends of theirs. The friends younger brother (who was five years younger than Jane) named Harris Brigg-Wither had just completed his education at Oxford and asked Jane to marry him. Jane accepted the offer even though Harris was described as unattractive, conversationally tactless, sullen and quiet. Most historians speculate that Jane accepted Harris' marriage proposal because she had known him since she was young and being married would offer her many practical advantages—especially since Harris was the heir to many estates in the Hampshire area. However, within one day, Jane realized that she had made a mistake by accepting Harris' offer and withdrew her acceptance the next day.
In 1805, Jane's father died suddenly leaving his wife and two unmarried daughters in a terribly grim financial situation. Luckily, Jane's brothers banded together to help their mother and sisters by sending them money. Over the next four years the three women traveled together and lived with numerous family members since they were no longer able to keep up with the expenses of their own estate. Despite these less-than-ideal circumstances, Jane continued to write. In 1809, Jane's brother, Edward, secured a cottage in Chawton village for his mother and sisters to take residence in. The women's life in Chawton was comfortable but quiet and Jane was able to get quite a lot of writing done. In the following years Jane enjoyed the publication of several novels starting with "Sense and Sensibility" which came into print in 1811.
In 1816, 40 year old Jane started to feel ill. Over the following months her health deteriorated rapidly. The exact cause of Jane's ailment has never been pinpointed but most historians believe it was either some form of cancer, tuberculosis, or typhus. Despite her sickness, Jane continued to write until she became too ill to hold a pen in March of 1817. By April 1817 Jane was confined to her bed and in May her family escorted her to Winchester for medical treatment. Jane Austen died in Winchester on July 18, 1817 at the age of 41. She was buried on the grounds of Winchester Cathedral.
After her death, Jane's mother and sister, Cassandra, arranged to have two of her final novels published. Both were released in 1818. Until this day Jane Austen's legacy lives on through her stories. Her novels are still widely read and loved and most of her works have been turned into theatrical plays, movies and mini-series. Hence, the legendary Jane Austen lives on!

Archive for the 'Nokia X' tag
Microsoft Kills The Nokia X Android Phones!
Two pieces of shocking news come to us from Microsoft today, the first one is kind of huge that matters – the company would be cutting 18,000 jobs the next year.
The second one is well, Microsoft is also planning to scrape the existing Nokia Android phones – the X series and instead make new low cost Windows Phone devices. Stephen Elop explains this in an email he sent to his employees saying "We expect to make this shift immediately while continuing to sell and support existing Nokia X products."
Maybe the Nokia X badge won't be ditched after all but none of those X handsets will be associated with Android anymore. It will all be Windows Phone from here. What do you think about this news, is this a distress call? Would you rather have an Android Lumia?
The Nokia X2 Is Official For €99!
As reported last week, the Nokia X was recently released earlier this year and we had some weird teasing of an upcoming X phone by Nokia already. Turns out it is legit and the Nokia X2 has been announced and can be bought!
While it was normal and expected that even experts were treating this news with skepticism that the Nokia X2 was too early to be announced. While most of us will argue that this is just to make up for the below par phone that the Nokia X was, but then most of are spoilt using phones like Moto G which deliver so much more.
Microsoft and Nokia made the X2 official this morning, here is what you get : a Snapdragon 200, 1GB RAM, 4GB inbuilt storage, 5-megapixel rear camera with flash, 4.3-inch WVGA ClearBlack LCD, a 1,800mAh battery, and dual-SIM compatibility.The phone comes preloaded with Skype, Outlook, OneDrive with 15GB storage, OneNote, Bing Search, Yammer, and Xbox Games as expected.
But we are still confused why another attempt with similar and just a better custom launcher that enhances multitasking. For €99 do you think this is worth it?
Nokia Teasing The X2 Already For Next Week!
So yesterday, something quite unexpected happened, Nokia – the division of the company that Microsoft hasn't bought, released a launcher for Android called the Z launcher. This made all tech. journalists in the industry think hard – why would they get into software? Today however, we may have a dot to join!
So Nokia posted the above image and related to a "green summer glow" with a countdown that pointed to Tuesday, next week. With more than one source indicating a possible hardware launch, what could we have here? We are very possible looking at the Nokia X2 – successor of the Nokia X which was announced earlier this year. It is odd for a company to come up with a second generation so soon. Other sources say that this maybe the Lumia 635 for the U.S that we have been waiting for.
With the color green, it is aobviously not easy to check out Android from the news, but yeah the date is very near, how many hands do we see for the Nokia X2?
Nokia X2 Already On It's Way?!
Even though Nokia pushed it's Android phone before Microsoft took over, the company is not ruling out plans for a possible Android – Nokia X successor, today we have news of the company already in the testing phases of the Nokia X2.
An Antutu Benchmark score shows us that the hot mid-ranger will still be carrying mid-range specs on the inside.The specs on the handset supposedly consist of a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of on-board storage.
While Nokia may or may not name the phone as X2, it is pretty much confirmed that a low-mid range device that runs forked Android is already in works. Would you buy one after the Nokia X?
Forget 3GB RAM, 4 GB On It's Way Already?!
Right now Android smartphones have almost become all about specs, and as we speak, even the top of the line smartphones maxes out at 3 GB of RAM.
4 GB RAM has been in talks ever since 3GB has been incorporated. Also, for the record the industry has taken a lot long to adopt 3GB compared to how soon the bump from 1GB to 2GB was. The rumors were pointing towards the Galaxy s5 having a 4GB RAM module but that clearly didn't happen.
While the Grand S II as we saw it at CES 2014 packed just 2GB of RAM, the phone has recently resurfaced in China's TENAA database with a listing that claims it now has 4GB. While 3GB is still rare, we really don't see 4GB coming along so soon and easily.
Nokia X Bags 4 Million Pre-orders In China!
When the Nokia X was announced last month after numerous leaks, most of our readers were really excited, although the devices were far from impressive or up-t-date in terms of hardware.
What is to take away from the launch of the Nokia X is that it has only aim, to serve and sell like hot cakes in emerging markets and judging from the pre-orders, Nokia is pleased at the moment. The Nokia X is expected to officially arrive to China on March 25th, with other markets to follow.
Will you be buying the Nokia X? Make sure you give it some protection with our cases!
Nokia X Now Runs Google Launcher, Play Store! Excited Now?!
Recently news of XDA folks porting over the Apps from the Nokia X to generic Android phones made rounds, today, it's vice-versa!
Today we see a Nokia X handset running Google apps including the Google launcher and the Google Play Store. Android is crazy flexible as we know it, with some good amount of developer support, devices that forked, can fly!
Nokia X, X+ And XL – 3 Forked Android Devices Unveiled!
I'm sure everyone like me is saying "enough of leaks already!", so here are the 3 models that we reported earlier that Nokia was working on – The Nokia X, X+ and XL – a new line of X devices.
There are three devices in the Nokia X family: the Nokia X, the Nokia X+ and the Nokia XL. The X and X+ both have four inch, 800 x 480 screens and 3MP camera. The XL has a 5 inch display, a 5MP rear facing camera and a 2MP a front facing camera. One of the differences between the X and X+ is that the X+ has more memory (768 MB of RAM compared to 512MB). All three phones are dual SIM and use 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual core processors.
These devices wont see US markets any soon since Nokia is aiming these devices at developing countries and does not want to focus in mature markets.

Re: LR3 / LR4 - Keeping images on different drives
It's a laptop with SSD drive, so either having all photos on main drive won't work (too much space) as well as having all of them on external drive (no mobility). That's why I'd like to have the best and the newest photos on SSD drive and older ones which I don't use regularly on external drive
Are there any simple solutions to do it? And hopefully: AUTOMATIC solutions, where I don't have to pay attention (I don't want to move files each month)

CHICAGO (AP) — Chase Anderson won his major league debut, Gerardo Parra and Miguel Montero homered, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Chicago White Sox 5-1 on Sunday.
Recalled Tuesday from Double-A Mobile, Anderson (1-0) hadn't seen any action until Sunday and he made his first big league appearance count, at one point retiring 12 consecutive batters. He allowed one run and only two hits in 5 1-3 innings while striking out six, helping Arizona win for the fourth time in five games and secure its third consecutive series for the first time since June 2012.
Anderson, 26, was Arizona's ninth-round selection in the 2009 draft and made it to Triple-A last season before going back to Double-A this year, where he was 4-2 with an 0.69 ERA.
Brad Ziegler threw a perfect eighth to extend his scoreless-outings streak to 18 over 17 1-3 innings.

Plenty of parking is available next to the library on the ramp down to the parking garage under City Hall that can be dedicated to library patron use.

Photo by Maria Killam
At one of the CMG Conferences a speaker once said 'If you want to know which direction colour is going, check out the towel department.'
So a couple weeks ago I snapped this photo of a stack of bright blue and yellow towels when I was out sourcing accessories for a client.
Towels don't collect dust sitting on shelves like other products do so it makes sense that there's more turnover in product, therefore new colours can appear faster. (That's my take, if you have a more accurate one, please post a comment below).
Isn't this blue entry breathtaking? The styling certainly helps but this photo is a great example of happy blues taking over from gray blues.
For years the only place I've ever chosen a blue like this was for a kids room. When I saw those blue and yellow towels, I had this sudden urge to run home and paint my main bathroom this exact colour.
Remember the post I wrote 'What everyone should know about blue'? The bottom line was that light blues need to be sufficiently grayed so that they don't look like baby blue on the walls. But if you take that same gray blue and go darker, you end up with a mans den or teenage boys room.
Take a brighter blue though and go darker like the above photo and you end up with happy!
What do you think? Do you see this blue making it's way into your house anytime soon?

Perfect spring flat? We think so. The J.Crew Viv Stripe Flat ($198) is pointedly perfect with jeans, leggings, dresses, and even office attire. We want to buy a boat just to wear these little darlings out to sea. But since we've just spent $200 on a pair of shoes, we'll have to find a captain willing to take us offshore for a little jaunt around Cumberland Island for free.
OMG you have saved my life. I covered a pair of really scuffed-up pointy-toe flats with striped fabric, but it felt like they were still missing something. Now I know! I'm going to add a bow to them IMMEDIATELY!

In 2010, the gridlock between political parties in Washington seemed tame compared to the headache I was about to take on when I decided to find out why pit bull owners were mad at me.
A story I wrote for a Denver newspaper seemed innocent enough. It had concluded that the Denver metro area was a "heavenly place for pets" because of the number and quality of animal welfare organizations that actually worked together.
That's when the emails started. "Its not such a heavenly place for pit bulls unless you mean pit bulls are sent to heaven," one person wrote. The emails rapidly went downhill from there.
I had always been a dog person and this hurt. I decided that I had better look into it. Thus began my education about breed-specific legislation.
Denver had a law banning the three breeds commonly known as pit bulls (Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier). So did Aurora. In fact, so did a number of other cities across the country.
For weeks, I talked to people with a range of opinions. The woman who had walked her pit bull late at night to avoid detection. The city council member who originally voted for BSL in Denver. The shelter director who had to enforce it. The pit bull supporter who went into the cage of a pit bull that had been kept there for many months - and was licked.
I read incessently - pro- and anti-pit bull articles, histories, behavioral treatises, personal observations. A book about what happened to the fighting dogs in the Michael Vick case. It seemed like every argument had a counter-argument, every statistic a counter-stastic.
I decided to explore anti-media sentiment by looking at five years worth of dog bite stories in my own newspaper I found that virtually the only time a biting dog's breed was specified was if it was a pit bull. (More recently, editorials in that same paper have stated bluntly that everybody knows pit bulls are bred to be vicious.)
I bring this all up today because of the latest national furor: On June 20, Time magazine published an article titled "The Problem with Pit Bulls" (http://time.com/2891180/kfc-and-the-pit-bull-attack-of-a-little-girl/) in which author Charlotte Alter states flatly: "Pit bulls were bred to be violent."
She continued by saying: "Pit bulls make up only 6 per cent of the dog population, but they're responsible for 68 percent of dog attacks and 52 percent of dog-related deaths since 1982, according to research compiled by Merritt Clifton, editor of Animals 24-7, an animal-news organization that focuses on humane work and animal-cruelty prevention." ( On the other hand, a Denver study several years ago found that Labrador Retrievers were the biggest biters here,)
Alter added that "violence is in a pit bull's DNA".
Pit bull supporters blasted the article in a torrent of emails. Time ran a response from Sara Enos, founder of the American Pit Bull Foundation (see link in Alter's article).
My purpose today is to offer my observations on the issue after reporting about it for several years. Call it food for thought.
* All dogs will bite under the right set of circumstances, usually involving pain or fear. Children are often the victims of bites because they don't understand that live dogs are not plush toys you just run up to and hug. Parents need to teach their children how and when to approach dogs or leave them alone.
* Pit bulls are strong, athletic dogs that may therefore inflict serious damage when they bite. Owners need to understand this and take necessary steps to keep their dogs under control. Owners also need to spay or neuter their dogs - both to control pet overpopulation and curb aggressive behavior.
* Pit bulls have a reputation for loving humans. They originally were bred as working dogs and family companions. They are rated very high by the American Temperament Test Society as friendly dogs.
* Because of their athleticism and dermination, pit bulls began to be used to bait bulls and then to fight. But what gives humans the right to use animals for blood sport? And more broadly, how did we come to view animals as throwaway property instead of sentient beings who deserve to go about their lives? We humans placed these dogs in peril. We are responsible.
*As I was to learn, if pit bulls were found in the Mile High City they were seized - sometimes being whisked past family members crying and pleading for their pet's life, yet often put to death. Bodies piled up by the hundreds. Some were simply born the wrong breed and had done nothing wrong. Where was the public outrage?
* People bear responsibility for the behavior of their pit bulls. Are they well-trained, socialized? Or are they chained and ignored?
* A study group called the Coalition for Living Safely with Dogs came up with a model agressive dog ordinance. It was widely adopted by cities in Jefferson County, where we don't hear of many pit bull attacks. If a dog attacks there, it faces penalties. Otherwise not. Does it not violate the spirit of American justice to penalize animals (or people) for what they are, not what they do?
* Animal control officers identify dogs by visual clues. But in this era of designer dogs, many animals are mixed breed. Dogs can easily be misidentified. (Lawrence Gerson V.M.D, www.post-gazette.com/life/pet-stories/2014/06/14/Pet-Points)
*The American Kennel Club, the American Veterinary Medical Association, Humane Society of the United States and the ASPCA all oppose breed-specific legislation. That's something we should pay attention to.
* The media - and popular culture in general - contributes to fear and misunderstanding when it spouts stereotypes and doesn't bother to dig below the surface. Isn't that supposed to be their job?
In fact, haven't most of us failed these animals?

Peter the Great established the Saint Petersburg Arsenal on October 4, 1711. Arsenal's experience with rocketry began as early as 1826, but the primary emphasis remained on artillery. On 21 November 1949 TsKB-7 was established within the Arsenal to develop advanced naval artillery systems. On 15 April 1959 the bureau was given the priority task of perfecting large solid rocket motors for naval and land-based long-range ballistic missiles. They also had complete design responsibility for several solid propellant submarine-launched ballistic missiles, none of which entered full production. On 30 April 1969 the bureau was put in charge of completing development and putting into production Chelomei's US naval reconnaissance and tracking satellite series. By the 1980's they were upgraded to full satellite design bureau status and were completing new design spacecraft.
Location: Saint Petersburg.

As I've mentioned every summer for the past few years, I love it when the Red Wings' training camp rosters come out and we get to see who will be wearing what number. I'm a geek about sweater numbers (as seen with yesterday's post on how to get Alfredsson into #11) so that's fun to me.
With today's release of the jersey numbers for Detroit's 2013 Development Camp, we can get a look at some of the changes soon to come. Last year we were told that development camp numbers meant nothing but only Luke Glendening (who was on a tryout at the time of the development camp) switched between camp and the Red & White Game in January, so I think it's safe to use these numbers as indicators.
Of immediate note, the recently-signed Glendening has moved from the #72 he wore in camp and the #65 he wore in the Red & White Game (now taken by Danny DeKeyser) to #21. That number had been assigned to Tomas Tatar, so the fact that Glendening has it now seems to validate the report that he'd requested a switch to #90.
Similarly, Phillippe Hudon has been given #63 (he wore #61 last year), which wouldn't be available if Joakim Andersson were not switching. I'd been expecting Andersson to take #18 as soon as it became available, which is the case with Ian White no longer on the team.
It's worth noting that no number changes were expected for goalies Petr Mrazek and Tom McCollum but Mrazek's #34 was assigned to free agent Andrew D'Agostini and McCollum's #38 went to tryout Toni Eskelinen.It would appear that Tomas Jurco will not be switching back to #28 now that it has been made available by Carlo Colaiacovo's buyout as it's been assigned to free agent invitee Trevor Hamilton. Other numbers that had been assigned to a player last year include Jan Mursak's #39 (given to first-round draft pick Anthony Mantha), Kent Huskins' #3 (given to Nick Jensen) and Joey MacDonald's #31 (free agent signing Jared Coreau).
The only player keeping the same number from last year's camp is Marek Tvrdon, who holds on to #60.
The changes from last year are as follows (excluding free agent invitees who are returning):
|Player Name
|Old Num.
|New Num.
|Andreas Athanasiou
|Rasmus Bodin
|Martin Frk
|James De Haas
|Nick Jensen
|Richard Nedomlel
|Xavier Ouellet
|Ryan Sproul
The final switch is a humorous one. Red Wings' goaltending prospect Jake Paterson switches to the #36 previously assigned to goalie Jordan Pearce, while the #68 he wore last year will be assigned to free agent tryout goalie Jake Patterson (that number was worn by Chad Billins, now in the Calgary Flames organization, during the Red & White Game).
Numbers for players marking their first appearance at the development camp are as follows:
|Player Name
|Tyler Bertuzzi
|Mattias Janmark
|Alexei Marchenko
|Hampus Melen
|Marc McNulty
|Zach Nastasiuk
|David Pope
Bertuzzi's #59 had previously been assigned to Francis Pare, who signed with TPS of Finland today as an unrestricted free agent.
Update, 11:25 PM: The Left Wing Lock's Sarah Lindenau Tweeted the following regarding the numbers assigned during the Wings' development camp:
I would not read anything into the jersey numbers assigned for #drwdc. As has been the case in the past... #redwings— Sarah Lindenau (@Lindy72) July 8, 2013
These numbers can be reassigned from camp to camp. just because it appears a number has changed that may not be the case #drwdc #redwings— Sarah Lindenau (@Lindy72) July 8, 2013
It doesn't mean andersson has given 63 in search of another number, etc. these switches are made at #drwtc and #drwdc #redwings— Sarah Lindenau (@Lindy72) July 8, 2013
This was the rule of thumb given last year by Boyer and I am sure it hasn't changed. #drwdc #redwings— Sarah Lindenau (@Lindy72) July 8, 2013
As I said at the top, we were told last year that the development camp numbers meant nothing. That was a season that saw Brian Lashoff switch from #25 to #23 and Martin Frk assigned the #48 that had been worn the prior season by Cory Emmerton. Weeks later, Emmerton's switch from #48 to #25 was announced.
Clearly some of these numbers mean nothing. I would be shocked if Zach Nastasiuk ever wears #62 in a regular season game for Detroit (or if he's even wearing it in the next camp). Similarly, I don't expect Andreas Athanasiou to wear any number in the 70s if/when he cracks the lineup.
Whether intentional or not, the trend for the Wings is that players wearing numbers in the 50s or higher are the guys not expected to crack the lineup that year and they wear numbers that may be randomly assigned. The lower your number gets the more likely you are of a call-up, until you're actually assigned a "real" number.
In his first camp, Tomas Tatar wore #72. The next year, when he was in line for a call-up during the season, he was down to #21. Landon Ferraro wore #57 in his first camp and was down to #41 last year. We'll see what number he actually wears if and when he ever makes his debut.
In the time that I've been watching the camp numbers, no prospect has ever been assigned the number of a player already on the Red Wings' roster. Much like Frk getting #48 last year was a sign of Emmerton's upcoming switch, I think #21 and #63 being assigned makes it safe to say Tatar and Joakim Andersson will be getting new numbers next year. No, I don't know it for certain, it would just follow the trend. A prospect being assigned the number of a roster player seems to mean something.
Perhaps #34 and #38 were given out because those numbers went to free agents who won't be back for the main camp, when Petr Mrazek and Tom McCollum return. Or maybe McCollum will finally take the #33 he wore in junior. Those two we'll have to wait to see.

FC Killie Edge Out Close Rivals!
Arsenal North LFC 3 - 4 FC Kilmarnock Girls
FC Kilmarnock had to fight hard to hold on to a win despite dominating the first half of the game. The Killie girls got off to a great start with trialist Sarah Paterson casually dribbling past the keeper and putting away her first shot of the game.
Many chances were created through some great team work and Paterson was unlucky to miss a powerful header from a corner. After some solo skill, Toni Masson was also unlucky to narrowly miss with a well struck volley.
However, Killie soon doubled their lead thanks to a fabulous shot by Sarah Paterson. 2-0 up, the girls were comfortable and looked to be favorites to win. However, shortly before half time, the weather suddenly changed to heavy snow and hail stones but the girls battled on. Eventually Toni Masson made it 3-0 with a well-taken strike from outside the box.
The Killie girls began to tire, allowing the home team to get more involved in the game. Sam Daziel went on to score a fabulous free kick from far outside the box, making it 4-0.
Things fell to bits in the last ten minutes and Killie began to struggle, seeing Arsenal pull the game back to 4-3. A lucky escape from defeat means the Killie girls are still in with a chance of winning the league.

We aren't attending any Ugly Holiday Sweater Parties this year, which is good because we'd rather rock this Dorothy Perkins Red Penguin Cardigan ($49). Far from ugly, the cute little penguins add the right holiday touch to the fitted cardi. We'll wear it with a pair of sturdy winter boots and earmuffs to make sure we're the best-dressed gal at the
North Pole office party.
What a lovely cardigan am trying to buy one size 14 but having trouble locating one.

The Greenberg Smoked Turkey ($23-$60) was made famous when Oprah announced that it was one of her favorite things, but those of us in the loop have known about these smoky delicacies for years. Full of flavor and already cooked, this heat and eat turkey will be a hit at your Thanksgiving/holiday dinner. It's perfect for leftover casseroles and soups, and did we mention that it's a lot healthier than its fried and butter basted cousins? You can feel confident serving your guests a Greenburg turkey, and they ship anywhere in the states. One more thing to cross off the holiday list...check!
Do you know if the Turkeys are free-range or factory farmed?
Hi GA -
We called the Greenburg Smoked Turkey company, and they informed us that the turkeys are farm raised, not free range.
Hope that helps!

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2 | Photo Gallery 3
Head Coach Sean Miller
On a win that "had everything":
"It did. I think you look at our conference and the team we just played has lost four games, but that doesn't mean they're going to keep losing. They've had a tough early schedule; they're a really good basketball team. I thought Jared Cunningham played really well and made some key plays down the stretch. Give credit to Oregon State for coming in here and taking us to the brink in front of the greatest fans in college basketball."
On Brendon Lavender:
"The story of the game is Brendon Lavender. I've never been around a guy that commits to a process like he does. Every day it's the same thing. Tonight he was huge. He made five threes at key moments in the game. It seemed like they all came when our backs were against the wall. If he doesn't make five threes, we don't beat Oregon State. Credit Brendon tonight."
On Kyle Fogg:
"Kyle went 6-for-6 from the foul line. He's got the experience to make big plays and he did that tonight. When Kyle takes care of the ball, we're a much better basketball team. He did that tonight; Kyle didn't have a turnover. He was being aggressive getting to the rim. Keep in mind that he guarded Jared Cunningham all night as well."
On getting the ball inside:
"We had a hard time getting the ball in the paint. Jesse (Perry) didn't have his best game tonight. When we went to the half, Jesse had zero points. It's tough to be successful when your leading scorer has zero points at the half."
#24 Brendon Lavender
On the crazy ending
"It was emotional. We wanted to win. We've been working hard and we were excited to win. It was a crazy game, they were really aggressive. Both teams love to compete and wanted to win."
If there was more trash-talking during the game
"No it was the same. Like I said, it was emotional. The talking was the same as usual."
On Coach Miller's reaction to fight
"Coach said when stuff happens, stay on the bench. It's not helping us win even though we want to save our players."
On his shots tonight
"That's my job. I am one of the best shooters on the court. I'm glad my teammates found me on the court. I've been working hard on my shot during practice. My teammates did a great job.
On tying career-high
"It was more meaningful to me this time. It was a conference game and I hit clutch shots for us."
On thinking about the magnitude of his play
"In the game I'm in the zone. I focus on the moment. I'm pumped up and happy but I'm not thinking about that stuff."
On this win propelling the team forward
"When you practice as hard as we practice, and then for us to win the game, the outcome puts our spirits high. We're in the best position for the next game."
On the potential challenge to come back for next game
"We have to put this game to bed. Coach does a good job at setting us up for the next game."

Perhaps an elementary questions. Given a time limited measurement situation, would it be better for one to measure more averages or more data points?
More averages will increase the SNR by $$\sqrt{n}$$ , i.e., making the data point more reliable, but more data points may make the fitting better.
Consider the model is A*exp(-Bt) + C*exp(-Dt) which is a difficult model to fit when noise is introduced.
Assume due to time limit, one could only do 100 measurements in total. Should one measure 20 data points with 5 averages each or 100 data points, or 5 data points with 20 averages each?

When a thirty year old dampit breaks off inside a violin, Jake Jacobs of Troubadour Music is your man. Using a band repairman's tool with a hook on the end, Jacobs carefully pried the bit of dampit, which had been rolling around inside the violin, through the F hole.
"You don't want the dampit to inadvertently knock the sound post," he said.
A dampit is a long piece of sponge encased in perforated rubber. They are made for a range of instruments including violins, cellos, guitars, as well as clarinets and harps. According to dampits.com, the dampit was invented by the composer and violinist Ralph Hollander in 1966 and works as a humidifier inside an instrument.
When using a dampit, "Distilled water works best," Jacobs said. "Minerals can leave residue."
Jacobs also recommends that an instrument should be allowed to adjust to room temperature, that it shouldn't be played right away.
The dampit operates by being immersed in water, the outer tube is dried, and then placed inside the instrument. With instruments such as cellos, violins, and violas, the dampit is inserted through the F hole. The dampit can remain inside the instrument while it is played without any tonal loss.
The dampit has been endorsed by professional musicians all over the world including Yo-Yo Ma, Leopold Stokowski, Mstislav Rostropovich, and Yehudi Menuhin.

What Makes Us One?
What Makes Us One?
In 1909 car maker Henry Ford famously said, "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black."
Needless to say, our culture has moved from one choice in car colors to a seemingly endless variety of choices.
And, in a way, the same thing has happened to the church.
When I arrived at FBCG as Youth Pastor in 1986, we had one worship service, one style of worship music, one worship venue (sanctuary), one Sunday school hour, and one building.
Today, just over 26 years later, we worship in 6 services every weekend and those services take place over two days and in four different venues, using up to 4 different styles of music.
We operate two campuses and offer multiple equipping options at both campuses – not only on Sundays, but throughout the week. And if you miss a weekend – you can watch the sermon you missed on our website or keep up with our sermon series through the online devotional guide, "10 Minutes with God."
Sometimes I miss the "old days!" It was simpler to understand, easier to lead, and it was comfortable. But our community has changed and our opportunities have grown, and God has called and enabled FBCG to adapt and change in order to more effectively reach both our community and the world.
As I look at and experience our church family these days, I think I can make two observations that are equally true.
- FBCG is not the same church it was when my wife and I arrived in 1986.
- FBCG is exactly the same church it was when we first began ministry here.
How can both be true?
It comes down to what truly makes us one.
In Ephesians 4:4-6 the Apostle Paul writes:
There is one body and one Spirit – just as you were called to one hope when you were called – one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:4-6
Paul is teaching the early believers, and us, that what makes the church one has nothing to do with buildings, campuses or worship venues. But our one-ness has everything to do with Christ. It is the Holy Spirit that dwells in our hearts by faith and shapes us into the body of Christ.
At our annual picnic/baptism in August (which this year included a food-pack event for the first time), I thought about Paul's words. I saw hundreds and hundreds of people, representing multiple generations, multiple communities, and even multiple cultures, gathered from across two campuses and multiple worshiping communities, sharing both fellowship and service together, and unified in the Spirit and truth of Jesus Christ.
Week after week we affirm our commitment to reach, connect, equip and serve; and in recent days have launched our "Serve the World" initiative to make the gospel visible and tangible through local and global mission partners.
As I peer into the future God has for FBCG, I see us continuing to worship on different campuses and in different venues; I see us celebrating worship with different styles of music; I see us offering many different points of connection and many different opportunities for spiritual growth and service; but I see us as ONE.
We are one in the Spirit; we are one in purpose; we are one in Christ; we are one church! Thanks for being part of the FBCG family!

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – A study involving more than 2.5 children has found that any in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment was not associated with autistic disorder but was associated with a small increased risk of mental retardation.
Sven Sandin, M.Sc., of King's College London, and colleagues found that among the children, 1.2 percent were born following an IVF procedure; autistic disorder was found in 1.5 percent of children; and mental retardation was found in 1.1 percent of children who were born after an IVF procedure. "The results demonstrated an association between autistic disorder and mental retardation and specific IVF procedures with ICSI related to paternal origin of infertility compared with IVF without ICSI," the authors were quoted as saying.

text: When the Village of Fredonia created its industrial park, it implemented aesthetic standards to ensure that buildings in the village park would not detract from neighboring properties.After considerable back-and-forth wrangling, officials agreed on a standard that required buildings in the manufacturing district to use decorative stonework on the equivalent of 50% of the square footage of the largest exterior wall.Officials said the requirement has resulted in some odd-looking buildings at unnecessary expense, and ultimately led to an ordinance adjustment made at the last Village Board meeting.The change, which was unanimously approved by the board, gives the Architectural Control Board discretion to determine if the 50% standard makes aesthetic sense.According to the ordinance change, the board now has the power to require other aesthetic measures, such as planting, in lieu of the proscribed stonework."This puts the discretion in the hands of the Architectural Control Board, where it should have been all along," said Village President Chuck Lapicola."There are times I look at buildings where we required masonry walls, and just ask 'Why?'"Trustee Don Dohrwardt said there are cases, such as storage buildings, where "the 50% law simply doesn't make sense."Trustee Mark Edbauer Sr. shared that skepticism, especially during the trying economic times most businesses are facing."When it comes to a business park, I don't see why we need to be so strict about how a building looks. I don't expect a parklike setting. It is a place of business and the important thing is providing jobs," Edbauer said.Trustee Fritz Buchholtz took the critique of the 50% masonry requirement even further."The purpose of government should be to stay out of our lives," Buchholtz said.The ordinance does maintain the prohibition of vinyl and aluminum siding for industrial buildings.Trustees also approved an ordinance change that gives the village's zoning administrator — who at this time is Building Inspector John Derler — the authority to approve routine sign permits.Previously, even routine approvals needed to come from the Plan Commission.If questions about sign ordinance compliance come up, the approval will be referred to the commission.A final ordinance change approved by the board extends exemptions from setback requirements for replacements of existing buildings in residential districts.The revision allows the owner of a legal, non-conforming home to rebuild on the same "footprint" in the event of structural damage.A similar change was previously approved for legal, nonconforming accessory buildings.

A Long Island man who shot his girlfriend in the back after an argument over 'The Walking Dead' and the possibility of a zombie apocalypse is now off to prison for the next three years.
Jared Gurman, 28, was sentenced Thursday to 3 1/2 years in state prison after pleading guilty to a felony charge of first-degree attempted assault in connection with the December 2012 shooting.
Police said Gurman and his girlfriend, Jessica Gelderman, were in a heated exchange at his house about whether there could be a real-life zombie apocalypse, similar to the one portrayed in 'The Walking Dead,' a television thriller about zombies in a post-apocalyptic world.
"It's something that he felt can possibly happen," Det. Lt. Ray Cote said at a police news conference after the shooting. "She said that's ridiculous."
The argument continued until Gelderman left, but cops said Gurman continued to send her text messages that became angrier and bitter. "It came to a point where she felt that she needed to look after him and perhaps he was going over the edge," Cote said.
When Gelderman returned to her boyfriend's Williston Park home, Gurman was standing outside with a .22 caliber assault rifle and shot her in the back as she walked up the stairs, police said.
Detectives said she was left losing blood and pleading with him to call for help until Gurman finally drove her to the hospital where he was arrested. Gelderman suffered a pierced lung, shattered rib and pierced diaphragm.
Appearing in court Thursday, Gelderman asked Nassau County Judge Christopher Quinn for permission to deliver a victim impact statement. "I just want our lives to go back to the way they were," she said. "He would never ever hurt me…I just want things to go back to the way they were." She declined comment after the court proceeding.
Gurman's lawyer, Edward Lieberman, said his client hopes the couple will be able to be "reunited." The defense attorney asked the court to lessen the restrictions on a protection order, which would allow her to visit him in prison.
"My client found himself in a situation he now thoroughly regrets and that he'll live with for the rest of his life," Lieberman said in court. "He can't deny that it did occur. I do know in his heart he'd never want to do anything that disrupts his love of Jessica."
Before he was led away in handcuffs, Gurman said, "I'd like to say I'm sorry for everything that happened that night."

One of the features of Ubuntu that I miss in Windows is the zoom in feature.
Does someone know how can that be achieved in Windows?
PS: I am not looking for the zoom that Vista provides by default [1 2] because it is application specific. It zooms selectively. For example - if I Ctrl+scroll on desktop, icons get zoomed - not the wallpaper, if I do that in IE, the page gets zoomed [but not the Navigation bar or the taskbar].
I want everything to get zoomed.
If you have used the Desktop zoom of Ubuntu, you will understand.
Also please do not suggest Windows magnifier. It sucks.

"A Fishy Affair"
Directed by Mack Sennett
Cast: Ford Sterling, Laura Oakley, Bert Hunn, Bill Hauber, Nick Cogley, and Dot Farley.
Released April 24, 1913. Running time: 7 minutes
The Keystone style continues to develop with this short film that is another showcase for Ford Sterling, who was quickly becoming the biggest star at the studio. CineMuseum's outstanding restoration of this film for the Mack Sennett Collection on blu ray allows us to clearly see and appreciate each nuanced expression.
Ford is prepared to go fishing, and asks his wife for some money. The wife had just put a sock full of cash under the mattress and she refuses to give Ford a penny. Disgruntled, he goes off to fish. Meanwhile, a burglar sneaks in the bedroom window and steals the money. A nearby cop sees him and gives chase. As the crook passes the lake, he throws the money in and keeps running. Naturally Ford fishes right at that spot, hooks the money, and when he returns home he's accused of stealing it. The cop catches the burglar and returns to the house where the crook confesses. Ford is angry with his apologetic wife, but they make up as the film ends.
The Keystone films had, by now, clearly established their structure for having a simple premise, which was filled with gags. However, "A Fishy Affair" follows that premise, but stands out as one of the more important Keystones from this period for several reasons.
Ford Sterling is far less manic and overplayed here. There is a great deal of subtlety to his performance. He does not completely eschew his noted bombast, but instead layers it with subtler reactions. As he heads down the road to the fishing spot, he comes upon a small hill. He tries to walk up the hill, but stumbles back down; he angrily kicks the hill, but hurts his foot. He then uses the fishing rod as a pole vault and makes it to the top. It is a delightfully funny bit of business that appears as an organic portion of the character's trajectory and is one of this short film's comic highlights. Once he gets to his fishing spot, Sterling uses all that is at hand to create comedy. He baits his hook with a worm, and then blows on it for luck as if it were dice. Sitting nearby a weeping willow, he angrily slaps and yells at the tree each time the wind causes its leaning branches to hit the side of his face. He catches useless things (a sock, a minnow), but although he reacts with disappointment, he keeps everything he catches, putting it into a bucket. It is these elements of character that are both charming and funny. .
Mack Sennett's direction is so impressive, one wonders if perhaps he learned a bit from watching Henry Lehrman's footage. Sennett often relied on medium shots and let the action work within the frame. Lehrman used different angles to enhance the visual effect. With "A Fishy Affair," Sennett not only provides several close-ups of Sterling so we can enjoy his subtler reactions, but also cross-cuts between the tranquil fisherman, his frantic wife searching the house for the money, and the cop pursuing the crook. These scenes each have a distinct, separate rhythm of their own, but Sennett's cuts maintain a steady pace. Lehrman has set that foundation in his own Keystone work. This is Sennett's response. The cuts are not equal in time, though. Most of the footage relaxes with Ford Sterling, who is once again the central figure in this comedy. Another impressive bit of directorial technique is an underwater shot that shows a school of fish swimming past Ford's baited hook as if they were ignoring it. For a film shot in 1913, this visual is quite impressive. Sennett liked to bring his crew to a location and work within its elements to create comedy. This time it was a nearby alligator farm. Ford hooks a baby alligator, drops his pole and goes running home, naturally running right through a group of gators.
"A Fishy Affair" is well directed, well played, and filled with very funny moments. The Keystone product continued to increase in popularity as well as cinematic vision. While one can acknowledge Sennett's better direction, "A Fishy Affair" really belongs to Ford Sterling. There is a great deal of substance to this husband who just wants a bit of solitude engaging in an activity he enjoys. The inconveniences are minor, but he responds to each one comically and effectively. It is one of the finest performances Ford Sterling would offer at Keystone

We all know what happened, archaeologically speaking, after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This week it was revealed that many animals who died in a lakebed found in China's Liaoning province met their end in a similar manner to the residents of Pompeii.
According to History on Wednesday, a new study suggests that the Jehol Biota fossil beds containing thousands of fossilized animals were created 120 to 130 million years ago by multiple volcanic eruptions similar to Mount Vesuvius. As a result of the eruptions, many of the animals, which include early birds, mammals, and insects, are thought to be preserved in the same poses they died in.
The fossil beds are located among conifer trees and lakes in an area surrounded by volcanoes and are thought to have been impacted by eruptions during the early Cretacious period. These eruptions emitted hot gasses and ash traveling over 400 miles per hour and ultimately killed the animals instantly, completely covering them in ash like the victims of Pompeii.
"What we're talking about in this case is literal charring, like somebody got put in the grill," mineralogist George Harlow of New York's American Museum of Natural History and researcher involved in the study said. "They got fried."
The study's findings were published in this week's issue of Nature Communications. Fox News notes that though previous research had suggested the animals were fossilized because of the volcanoes, this is the first in-depth study done on the subject.
