The adopted puppy is 'a few months old,' an insider reportedly revealed. It's a black cocker spaniel that comes from a litter 'with a close family connection'.
The new dog will keep Kate company while William is away in the Falklands, after the second-in-line to the throne left yesterday.

Something that may not be a shock to some is that housing in Glasgow may be hard to come by. The growth policy Glasgow has developed shows that there is a lack in affordable housing in the area.
Key findings in the report show that in 2010 around 85 percent of housing in Glasgow was built prior to 1976. The percentage of home ownership was also lower here than in the state and nation. Glasgow's rate of ownership is at 63.2 percent, while the state sits at 68 percent and the nation at 65.1 percent.
Another number found in the report shows that 78 percent of the housing is for single fami...

I have a UDF CD that I recently received, but I cannot use it.
The disc reads fine, but when I open it, I see a single
README.txt, that tells me the disk is UDF-formatted, and I need a computer that can read the UDF format (the readme is on a secondary CDFS filesystem, it seems).
Windows 7 has UDF drivers (and I have installed a hotfix for UDF-related issues), but it is not detecting the UDF filesystem.
Is there any way to get Windows 7 to read and mount this UDF filesystem?

A big millipede: Narceus americanus
Besides the rat snake, the only other animal I photographed during Tuesday's Earth Day trip along the C&O Canal was this millipede Narceus americanus. There were also many butterflies around, but try as I did, I just couldn't approach any of them for a good close-up.
These big millipedes were quite common on the towpath. I remember seeing them also during previous visits to the area. Unfortunately, large numbers of them get run over by bicycles. I am afraid I may also be guilty of at least one count of murder; for my defense, I can only say that it wasn't premeditated. When there are so many things to look at along the path, it's difficult to ride with one's eyes fixed to the ground in front of the bike.
The toll of road crossings on invertebrate populations was the subject of this post. Of course, they are not the only ones who suffer on the roads. The New Scientist's Environment blog reports that according to a recent study, amphibians made up 93% of all animal deaths on Indiana roads over a 16-month period.

Kindle Fire 7″ Tablet Deal (via HSN)
**UPDATE: This item is now sold out at HSN
Tech Geek and More doesn't usually look at Home Shopping Network or HSN.com for deals, but Today's Special (http://www NULL.hsn NULL.com/electronics/kindle-fire-7-dual-core-8gb-wi-fi-tablet-with-accessories_m-10062515_xp NULL.aspx) is the exception. For today (12/2/12) only, Home Shopping Network has the Kindle Fire 7" Dual Core , 8 GB Wi-Fi tablet on sale. I know some of you are wondering where the deal is, since the $199.95 is the same price you see at the store. However, the one thing that HSN offers that most stores don't offer is Flex Pay. With Flex Pay you can get the tablet by Christmas and pay $39.99 / month for the next 5 months.
While its true that some other stores offer layaway, with layaway you need to finish paying for your item before they give it to you. On HSN Flex Pay, the item is shipped to you after your initial payment. In addition, HSN has a return policy for the tablet (as listed on their website) of January 31, 2013. That means that if you don't like the tablet, you can send it back by that date for a full refund. Most stores only give 7 or 14 days from date of purchase for returns, and if this is a Christmas gift, your return window will be gone long before you get to Christmas.

Starbucks has taken the steps to educate its baristas in any field of study its employee chooses. Over half of the 100,000 young people employed at Starbucks don't have college degrees and Starbucks' CEO and chairman Howard D. Schultz thinks perhaps tuition reimbursement is what the company should have done in the first place.
Starbucks opened in 1971, imagine how many more may have had college degrees if the company did begin the tuition reimbursement program forty years ago.
Starbucks, ASU and other organizations are coming together to create new ways for people to earn college degrees. The catch is Starbucks' tuition reimbursement program hosts online students. Online classes are great, but I've taken one and quite honestly, keeping up with deadlines was a problem. It's not that I was a terribly busy person, but a very unfocused person. Online studying requires a lot more discipline than the classroom. (I have only taken one course online, for the fun of it, not for a degree program.)
What beats the online catch is that ASU's undergrad online program offers many of the same programs offered in the university, including humanities courses like Spanish, Art History, and English lit. Most online degree programs focus on business majors.
ASU also has a wide range of online grad programs to choose as well. It's a great time to apply for fall classes, and it's always a lot more exciting to apply without relying on federal loans.
With green states raising minimum wage to $11/hour, today's workforce needs to analytically think about the changing workforce. If half of the Starbucks employees don't have college degrees, then the other 50 percent does, which makes the barista workforce at Starbucks a lot more competitive for high school seniors and those who enter the workforce without demonstrating an interest in higher ed.
Starbucks recognizes clearly that a higher education workforce better serves its customers. Starbucks, quite frankly, serves a well salaried clientele.Time and again, it's been proven that managers prefer to hire degree holders because college educated employees are better at problem solving and managing professional relationships. In the restaurant business particularly, employers want employees who fully respect consumer buying power, hence guarantee quality customer service and professional courtesy.
In the New York Times, Starbucks CEO Howard D. Schultz said he believes the new tuition reimbursement program will attract "quality" hires.
If you're interested in the webcast on tuition reimbursement for Starbucks hires check out the webcast at 10:45 am (EST) today or 11:45 cst.
Currently, 135,000 Starbucks employees are eligible for the program whether they stay with Starbucks or not. They need to work 20 hours a week and be fully eligible for admission to Arizona State.
Just a quick side note, any Starbucks employee who doesn't meet eligibility requirements, community colleges offer remedial match and writing classes that could help bolster entrance exam scores.
Starbucks employees, even part-timers, have health insurance options and stock purchase options. One Starbucks share hovers in the $77 mark. Arizona State University is a top-ranked online degree program with 11,000 students and 40 undergrad majors.
Don't forget, ASU has a variety of undergrad humanities (English, Spanish, and Art History) courses. Starbucks employees in the Tuition Reimbursement program do not have to choose majors that benefit the employer. Humanities students tend to move to the graduate and PhD programs, teach, write books and novels. Education and nursing are popular majors as well, particularly in Arkansas. These programs are also covered in ASU's online degree program.

Sonny Rollins: Blues for Philly Joe
Blues for Philly Joe
Sonny Rollins (tenor sax)
Newk's Time (Blue Note 4001)
Sonny Rollins (tenor sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums).
Composed by Sonny Rollins.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, September 22, 1957
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
"Blues for Philly Joe" is the only Rollins original on the versatile Newk's Time. By the time the album reaches this second-to-last track, the previous burning tempo of "Tune Up," polyrhythmic complexities of "Asiatic Raes" and intense Rollins/Jones duet on "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" make this relaxed, mid-tempo blues a vital addition. Rollins, Kelly and Watkins offer solid though unexceptional solos. The track's magical moment arrives when Rollins and Jones trade fours. (Rollins probably wrote the piece because he was waiting for this moment!) The saxophonist and drummer are bouncing ideas back and forth, with Rollins's rhythmic playfulness and Jones's melodicism creating a charming interactive relationship. From this track to the aforementioned extended duet on "Surrey…," this entire session presents one of the more compelling leader/drummer lockups in recorded jazz.

Maryam Namazie, a renowned voice for the freethought movement worldwide and our colleague here at Freethought Blogs, has been running an online television news program for audiences interested in, and those engaged in, the long fight for political freedom and justice in Iran. With episodes in English and Persian, it's a well produced and valuable service, especially to many in Iran, but also across the world. But their equipment is aging and they need to get new stuff. They are short of their June 16 fundraising target. So please see if you can give any little amount you can spare, and spread the word in case others can, too. Namazie's full explanation (and how to donate, and see the show) is on her blog here. Check it out!
P.S. Some of you may object to Namazie's politics, as I somewhat do, although they aren't Soviet, and her video program is about promoting freedom, not Stalinism. I think we can all support that objective, and let Iranians democratically decide how to organize their society as long as basic freedoms are guaranteed. That's what she wants. And it's what I want. And it's what this video program can help make happen. It certainly gives some justified hope and recognition to political dreamers and dissidents in Iran, and to ex-pats the world over who would like one day to go home.

It's not as easy finding festive holiday props for Gibby as it is for Sherman and Leroy.
For Sherman and Leroy any adult size accessory is most likely going to work for them.
But for Gibby it's a little more of a chore.
I normally have an idea of what I want and head to local craft store and see what they have. I've had luck in the doll section, but most of the stuff is a little too small so I've learned that I need to keep an open mind when searching out props for him.
Or I just need to have Gracie with me, who is the one who spotted a cute adorable necklace that just happened to have a little hat attached to it.
It was a perfect find and I squealed with delight when Gracie spotted it.
However, Gracie thought the necklace was for her and was a bit bummed out when she saw me dismantling it at the kitchen table later that day.
I reassured her that the dismantling was only temporary and that I would have the necklace re-assembled again in time for her to wear it for the Fourth of July.
But then Leroy got a hold of it so now I have to go buy another one.

OMD, so CUTE! Always love pics of Gibby.
This reminds me of long ago when my sis and I went to a Padres game. We ordered sundaes which came in these little hard batting helmets. We couldn't wait to get home and put it on my mom's beagle, who had a tiny little pea-head!

Those photos are just too cute!

A+ adorable!
Stopping by to wish you a happy holiday weekend and to thank you for your kindness and friendship. Gibby looks all set for a parade.
We want to thank you so very much for your kind words of comfort and friendship after our very sudden loss of Thunder. We are all still very sad, but the support and love from all of our friends from all over the world is helping to heal our broken hearts. We are sure that Thunder Dunder is now in a very happy place and also very thankful to have so many wonderful friends.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's PAWSOME!! I found a small hat at Hobby Lobby, with a hair clip on the base, and used it for the dogs, the bunny and the duck. The clip was nice for fur and Jimmy's pouf. I imagine hair clips would be easy enough to hot glue onto tiny decorations for Gibby.

Gild is a powerful new black "Magic: The Gathering" card spoiled today Jan. 22, 2014 from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert expansion set "Born of the Gods" in an article on Wizards.com. This rare sorcery spell will can deal with just about any threat your opponent has barring the keywords hexproof, shroud, and protection from black. It'll also give gold that you can spend to cast more spells.
Gild - 3B
Sorcery (Rare)
Exile target creature. Put a colorless artifact token named Gold onto the battlefield. It has "Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool."
Merchants of the Underworld trade in coins of clay. Gold serves another purpose.
While Gild costs one more to play than Hero's Demise and can't take out opposing planeswalkers it's easier to splay into multicolored decks. Even more importantly is the word "exile" on Gild, which allows it to deal with indestructible threats that other black removal spells like Murder, Ultimate Price, Go for the Throat, and Doom Blade cannot. Specifically, Gild allows you to stop the gods: Erebos, Thassa, Nylea, Purphoros, Heliod, Karametra, Xenagos, Mogis, Ephara, and Phenax.
Perhaps the most interesting part about Gild is that it creates a gold artifact token that can be sacrificed to add any one color of mana to your mana pool. You'll be able to us it to accelerate on your fifth turn and cast a spell that costs six mana or save your gold to spend on a rainy day.
How will you use Gild?

According to the Calgary Flames website on Tuesday, the Calgary Flames have decided to end their relationship with the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League. The Flames used Abbotsford as their top affilate since 2009.
The major reason why the Flames are leaving Abbotsford comes down to economics. According to CBC News, the Heat had $12 million in losses and the city of Abbotsford paid the Heat owners $5.5 million to end their contract with the city.
The Heat were also in a very difficult position geographically in the American Hockey League. They were the only team in the Pacific time zone. So even though it was convenient for the Flames to pick up and send down players to Abbotsford, there was a significant cost in travel when the team was playing road games.
Overall interest was also a major issue. With the proximity so close to Vancouver, hockey fans showed more interest with the National Hockey League's Canucks, and only averaged approximately 2,000 fans per game.
According to CBC, one city the Flames might be interested in is Glens Falls, New York. The city which has a population of 14,000 has been the host of the Adirondack Red Wings (American Hockey League affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings from 1979-1999) and the Adirondack Phantoms (American Hockey League affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers since 2009. The Flyers will be moving to Lehigh Valley next season, opening the door for the Flames.
The Heat meanwhile have not finished their 2013-14 American Hockey League season. They are postseason bound and will be in the playoffs starting next week.
Abbotsford currently has a record of 40-25-8 and sit in second place in the West Division with 88 points. Their top players so far this season have been Ben Street and Max Reinhart, who co-lead the Heat with 58 points.

MEDINA — A Medina attorney who pleaded guilty to a fraud charge last year now faces a lawsuit from a former client accusing her of fraud, breach of duty and failure to provide competent services.
Amanda France, of Tampa, Florida, filed a suit last week against attorney Natalie Grubb in Medina County Common Pleas Court. In the suit, France alleges Grubb failed to file a civil suit she was hired to prepare and accuses her of mortgage fraud.
The suit states France paid Grubb $30,000 in March 2012 but did not receive services in return.
France's complaint accuses Grubb of "failing to prepare and file Plaintiff's defamation action, to return telephone calls, to act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client. …"
France's attorney, Stephen Brown, said Grubb never filed the defamation suit on behalf of France.
The suit also alleges that Grubb acquired an open-end mortgage deed worth $130,000 on France's Florida home. According to the Hillsborough County auditor's website, the property Grubb secured the mortgage for is owned by France's husband, John France.
Brown said Grubb took out the mortgage without notifying France or her husband.
The suit seeks punitive damages and attorney fees.
Amanda and John France received some national media attention in 2010 when his ex-wife, Lynda France, accused him of bigamy. The two went on the "Today Show" with Matt Lauer to defend themselves. Prior to his marriage to Amanda, the "Today Show" reported, John was living with Lynda in Cleveland and raising their two sons. But while John and Lynda had a wedding ceremony, he told the "Today Show" his marriage to Lynda was never legally valid and she was aware of his plans to marry Amanda.
Cuyahoga County court records show Lynda France filed for a separation from John in May 2010. The case was dismissed less than two weeks after it was filed with court costs assessed to Lynda France.
A phone number for the Frances at their Tampa home could not be found and Brown couldn't confirm whether the defamation suit France hired Grubb to file was related to the dispute with her husband's ex.
The lawsuit France filed against Grubb isn't the first time the attorney has been accused of fraud.
Grubb, 55, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of complicity to commit workers' compensation fraud in 2013 in Franklin County Municipal Court. The charge stemmed from an investigation conducted by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. The BWC accused Grubb of employing a woman in her office while providing legal representation to her in a workers' compensation case against the state.
Grubb was ordered to pay $14,441 in restitution and investigative costs. The BWC referred the case to the Ohio Board of Commissioners on Grievances.
Grubb had a hearing in May before a disciplinary panel and the full board may review the case in August, a public information officer said Thursday.
Grubb did not return a call seeking comment Thursday afternoon.

A 3,000-Calorie Dinner? Belly-ssimo!
CSPI Inspects Olive Garden & Romanos Macaroni Grill
October 31, 2007
WASHINGTONNothings more American than Italian entrées like lasagna, ravioli, and spaghetti with meatballs. And Olive Garden and Romanos Macaroni Grill, with 568 and 238 units in the United States respectively, are selling a combined $3.4 billion worth of fried calamari, chicken marsala, and other foods each year. The Center for Science in the Public Interestthe nutrition watchdogs who famously called fettuccine Alfredo a heart attack on a plate when they first looked at Italian food in 1994commissioned independent lab tests (for Olive Garden) and examined company-provided data (for Macaroni Grill). Their picks and pans are published in the November issue of the groups Nutrition Action Healthletter.
If you wanted to enjoy the health benefits of the traditional Mediterranean diet, youd eat mostly fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, and fish, said CSPI nutrition director Bonnie F. Liebman. But the heaping portions of meat, cheese, pasta, and cream sauces served up at Italian-style American chain restaurants are about as far from the ideal Mediterranean diet as you can get.
The bottom line is that just about every plate of pasta at Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill is piled with more than 1,000 calories, according to CSPI. Only a few disheslike grilled chicken or salmon with a side of vegetableskeep the calories down around 500. But some virtuous-sounding chicken or veal dishes at Macaroni Grill hover in the 1,200-calorie range and provide at least a days worth of saturated fat, sometimes two days worth. In most cases, youre getting an meal thats roughly equal to a 16-oz. trimmed T-bone steak with a sour-cream-topped baked potato and a Caesar side salad at a typical steak house. Some of CSPIs pans (and picks) include:
Lasagna Classico. 1,060 calories and 28 grams of bad fat (saturated plus trans fat but the trans fat at both chains is naturally occurring and minimal). Its like eating a BK Quad Stacker from Burger King, which has four beef patties, four slices of cheese, and eight strips of bacon.
Five Cheese Ziti al Forno. 1,190 calories and 26 grams of bad fat. You might as well just order two McDonalds Quarter Pounders with Cheese or two Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pepperoni Pizzas.
Spaghetti & Meatballs. You can expect 1,260 calories and a days worth of saturated fat (19 grams). Thats equal to the calories in three McDonalds Quarter Pounders. If that seems like a lot to swallow, its half what youd get in Macaroni Grills version.
Olive Garden Picks: CSPIs lab tests found 790 calories in the Linguine alla Marinaramore than the 550 calories the chain reports. Capellini Pomodoro, pasta with tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil, also had more calories that the company stated (990 as opposed to 640). But both dishes had only 2 grams of saturated fat. Garden Fare items such as Venetian Apricot Chicken (450 calories), Shrimp Primavera (690 calories), and Pork Filettino (if ordered with vegetables, not potatoes, just 340 calories) are among the best choices.
Fettuccine Alfredo. Macaroni Grills version lives up to the heart attack on a plate reputation with 1,130 calories and 53 grams of saturated fatmore than 2½ days worth. (Olive Gardens version had a few more calories but only 1½ days worth of bad fat.) People who wouldnt dream of eating a pound of prime rib might not guess that Fettuccini Alfredo is roughly equivalent.
Spaghetti & Meatballs with meat sauce. The following nutrition numbers are not typos: Romanos rendition of this classic dish provides more than an entire days calories (2,430) and nearly three days worth of saturated fatan astonishing 57 grams. If you like meat, you could eat two Macaroni Grill Tuscan Rib-Eye steak dinners and inflict less damage. Or you could eat six Quarter Pounders for the same effect on your waistline.
New York Cheesecake or Tiramisu. Order a 1,000-calorie slice of cheesecake or tiramisu and you might as well finish off your meal with an untrimmed 16-ounce T-bone steak with five pats of butter. The cheesecake and tiramisu each have about 2 days worth of saturated fat; the deep-fried Dessert Ravioli has 1,630 calories and 1½ days bad fat.
Romanos Macaroni Grill Picks: Two grilled entréesPollo Magro Skinny Chicken and Simple Salmoncome with broccoli and asparagus and have a modest 330 and 590 calories, respectively. Each is deemed Sensible Fare on the menu.
Keep in mind that these numbers dont include any of Macaroni Grills peasant bread or Olive Gardens unlimited breadsticks and salad, said Liebman. Nor do they include 1,000-calorie appetizers like fried calamari. If you want pasta, go with tomato sauce instead of cream sauces or anything stuffed, and take home at least half for tomorrow. If its not under a layer of cheese, grilled chicken or fish with a side of veggies is a good choice.
Consider a hypothetical couple who dines at Romanos Macaroni Grill: They share the calamari and the complimentary peasant bread. He orders the Penne Rustica; she the Chicken and Shrimp Scaloppine. They split the tiramisu. The damage? Theyve each had more than three days worth of saturated fat and sodium. And theyve each had on the order of 2,800 caloriesabout a day-and-a-halfs worth. And those arent even the unhealthiest choices on the menu.
Youd have to walk briskly for 11 hours or jog an entire marathon to burn off 2,800 calories, said Liebman. But frankly, the only activity most people can devote that kind of time to is sitting in front of a television or computer. No wonder so many Americans are now the shape of a meatball.

Maybe there's some truth in the notion that tough times inspire great art: while 2013 was no great shakes as a year, Milwaukee theater companies— particularly small, independent companies—again proved what a vibrant performance scene we have in Milwaukee. We can't resist the urge to look back and create a thoroughly biased look at some of the performance years' most original, surprising, shocking, beautiful, hilarious and and thought-provoking theater moments. 2013 saw a lot of fun, interesting wok: Alchemist's Lesbian-accented Dracula, Off the Wall's Kiss of the Spider Woman, Quasimondo's sociopolitical circus Americlown, and World's Stage's impressive trilogy of works by the challenging Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. But every now and then a sweet confluence of script, design, and the right actors in the right roles summons up true theatrical magic. These were some of them:
Fawlty Towers by Carte Blanche Stage Company
This staging of three episodes from John Cleese's classic BBC comedy broke no artistic ground, but succeeded largely through Tony Wood's spot-on rendition of the perpetually pissed-off Basil and Michelle White as his sarcastic wife Sybil, with James Dragolovich giving us a perfect Manuel. This visit to 80s England was even funnier live than it was on the screen.
Bacchanalia by the Quasimondo
2013 saw the sad decline of Youngblood Theatre (they've produced one small show since artistic director Michael Cotey evidently moved on to greater things), but we'll always have fond memories of their quirky, lyrical shows. Fortunately, Brian Rott's company rose up to meet our needs for offbeat performance, creating an ambitious season of original group work, sometimes rough but always brimming with ideas. Bacchanalia was their most polished show, turning their industrial performance venue into a miniature Greek amphitheater. This musical romp through Ovid's Metamorphosis and western philosophy was funny, scary and gorgeous to look at.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch by Smithereen Productions
Definitely one of the best shows of the year, this was the versatile Jordan Gwiazdowski's farewell to Milwaukee. John Cameron Mitchell's saga of cosmic love, with its hapless transgendered heroine, got a great live band, some smart musical upgrades, and a wickedly awesome wig to back up Gwiazdowski's amazing spiritual striptease. Virtually perfect.
King Lear by Alchemist Theater
Another perfect show, with Bo Johnson's human-scaled Lear and David Flore's revelatory Fool, everything about his show, from the smartly-edited text , to the sensitive sound design, to Aaron Kopeck's amazing abstract set, glowed from the inside with sheer love of the play. One could only wish this gang would get together again!
Hamlet by Cooperative Performance Milwaukee
Another new bunch of kids, creating a respectful take on the venerable warhorse in an indoor-outdoor performance at Villa Terrace, this play galloped along on the stunning performance of Catherine Friesen as the melancholy Prince; she made the hoary old role seem fresh. More, please!
Ragtime by the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre
E.L. Doctorow' epic of American's tumultuous turn of the last century featured cameo appearance from historical figures like Henry Ford, Harry Houdini and Booker T. Washington. This was the best use yet of the Rep's heavy financial guns, combining flashy design, a wonderful orchestra, and great performers from out of town. From the jaw-dropping opening number, this show kept on hitting theatrical home runs. Highbrow, socially-responsible art at its very best.
Grey Gardens The Musical at Off the Wall Theatre
This wry, witty, bleak musical, adapted from a documentary of mother and daughter spinsters from Jackie Bouvier-Kennedy's elite WASP clan, soared on Dale Gutzman's creative staging and especially Niffer Clark's outstanding performance as "Old Edie" in her youth and "Young Edie" in her maturity. An unforgettably haunting tragicomedy that no other company in town would attempt—and one of the year's best.
Closing Night by Alchemist Theatre
The climax of The Alchemist's year of horror-themed theater, Closing Night was the haunted fun house of your dreams, letting you loose in two floors of interactive rooms that Aaron Kopec and his minions packed with diabolically clever hidden clues, revealed by finding hidden switches, triggering motion sensors or interacting with spirits of the recently murdered. Possibly the most fun you could have in 90 minutes all year.
The 7 Person Chair Pyramid High Wire Act, by the DIY touring company known as Die Vorfüreffekt
It's kind of unfair to bring this up, since only about 30 people saw it, but it was definitely one of the year's highlights. Donna Sellinger, (a.k.a. "Donna Oblongata") is a kind of theatrical Pilgrim: every year for the past few years, she brings a friend or two on a nation-wide tour, in tiny, obscure venues, with amazing shows blending puppetry, projections, song, and lovingly-crafted sets that, like the scripts, collage together whimsical disparate elements to generate a big aesthetic charge. This year's show, featuring a talking bat, a lonesome Yeti, Charles Darwin, and the Flying Wallendas, was totally enchanting, and one-of a kind.
The news might have been hard to take this year, but our performing artists kept our minds and hearts open with eye-catching, provocative, daring and well-crafted work. Good job, Milwaukee!

Advice From Mom: Mom Cleans Out the Refrigerator ...or... Safe Food Storage
by Rae Osenbaugh
Four years ago I made a decision: Thanksgiving would be here at my house....anyone in the family is welcome to come (it would be nice to let me know a few days ahead of time!), but I want to have it here. Now that the kids are moving away (remember our big wedding last June: Megan moved to Kentucky--that's a long way from Nebraska!), I'd like to have them all come home at least once a year!(sounds like a good time to do another family picture.
But, I'm getting away from my subject: cleaning out the refrigerator. If you are like me, you have a couple of Tupperware containers of "mystery food" tucked in the back corner of the 'fridge. How long has that been there? It's probably not edible any more: throw it out! After looking at my collection of old food and mystery containers I decided to look around for information on how long I can keep specific items in the refrigerator....and found this great list in Southern Living Cookbook---it was suggested by my friend, Natalie, on the Proverbs 31 e-mail discussion list. Here's to a clean and up-to-date refrigerator for all!
Safe Storage in the Refrigerator
CANNED GOODS (opened)
Fruit 5-7 days
Jams and jellies 6 months
Mayonnaise 1-2 months
Meats 1-2 days
Pickles 2-3 months
Vegetables 2-3 days
Fresh beef, lamb, pork and veal
roasts 2-4 days
steaks and chops 3 days
ribs 2 days
Stew meat 2 days
Ground meat 1-2 days
Processed meats, after package is opened: Ham, whole and half 7 days
Bacon 5-7 days
Hotdogs 4-5 days
Lunch meat, sliced 3 days
FRESH FISH 1-2 days
POULTRY 1-2 days
Butter, margarine 1 month
Buttermilk 1-2 weeks
Cheese (opened)
hard: Cheddar,
Swiss 3-4 weeks
Parmesan, grated 1 year

Cottage cheese 5-7 days or package date Eggs 1 month
Half-and-half 7-10 days
Milk: Whole and skimmed 1 week
Sour cream 3-4 weeks
Whipping Cream 10 days
Debt is preventing me from taking a vacation this year or the vacation I'd like to take this year! Tell us: Yes, debt is affecting my vacation plans! or No, we're going exactly where we want to go but we'd love to learn make our trip as inexpensive as possible!

Shop AAR...the secret language of romance readers
March 27, 2006 - Issue #219
From the Desk of Anne Marble: Tracking Down those Hard To Find Books
With all those new romance novels on the shelves, and a TBR tower, sometimes all I can think about is the books I don't have and can't find. Often, those books are rare, out of print, and not to be found in most used book stores. Or when I do find it, the owner usually has it in the collectible section, and the price is more than I'm willing to pay.
I love hunting for rare books, especially if I can find them cheap. I've prowled bookstores (even smelly ones with dark corners), on-line auctions, thrift shops, and garage sales. And as of this week, I even joined the Bookstorejunkies mailing lists, because not only do I want to find some titles, but I want to give some of my unwanted books a good home. I've never gone so far as to spend more than fifteen bucks on a rare romance (I've come close!), but give it time! I've certainly paid that and more for some horror and SF/fantasy titles.
But sometimes catching a title isn't what it's cracked up to be. Finally getting your hands on a title can be a major letdown. Years ago, I read a bibliography called Gothic Novels of the Twentieth Century by Elsa J. Radcliffe. I sought out some titles based on Radcliffe's recommendations, and I loved the books of Evelyn Berckman and Cecily Crowe, among others. But after the trouble of finding it, I couldn't get into any of the Marie Corelli books that Radcliffe recommended. Corelli's writing was often metaphysical, and could be very dense. She was very sensational in her day, but I couldn't get beyond the beginnings of the stories recommended by Radcliffe. For example, one of them starts with like this:
We live in an age of universal inquiry, ergo of universal skepticism. The prophecies of the poet, the dreams of the philosopher and scientist, are being daily realized - things formerly considered mere fairy-tales have become facts - yet, in spite of the marvels of learning and science that are hourly accomplished among us, the attitude of mankind is one of disbelief. "There is no God!" cries one theorist; "or if there be one, I can obtain no proof of His existence!
We live in an age of universal inquiry, ergo of universal skepticism. The prophecies of the poet, the dreams of the philosopher and scientist, are being daily realized - things formerly considered mere fairy-tales have become facts - yet, in spite of the marvels of learning and science that are hourly accomplished among us, the attitude of mankind is one of disbelief. "There is no God!" cries one theorist; "or if there be one, I can obtain no proof of His existence!
Phew! What a mouthful! Also, my skimming showed that when Corelli does get into the plot, her dialogue can be melodramatic. For example, "Oh, mademoiselle," she exclaimed, "have you not dread of that terrible man? Is it not he that is reported to be a cruel mesmerist who sacrifices everybody - yes, even his own sister, to his medical experiments? Ah, mon Dieu! it makes me to shudder!" You really have to be in the right mood to get into Marie Corelli's writing.
On the other hand, I didn't much like Elsie Lee's Season of Evil when I first read it, although her writing may be as far from Corelli's as you can get. But when I gave it another chance, it had magically turned into a whole 'nother book. This time, I realized that unlike so many books with this sort of plot, the heroine was very strong. She could take care of herself. This wasn't one of those books with an angry hero stomping about and calling the heroine names. This was a story about a heroine smart enough to clear her own name. Can we have more heroines like that, please?!
So there may be some hope for books that didn't work for me the first time. Maybe even the Corelli...
But then you have the books that will probably never work for me. Showing my usual sense of good taste, I sometimes look for books just because they generate controversy and anger among readers. I should know better by now! After reading discussions on the RTR board, I kept an eye out for Christine Monsons' notorious Stormfire at the used bookstore. Was it as bad as so many people said? Or was it romantic in that over-the-top bodice ripper way? Could I enjoy it as campy fun? Then I started the book. The rape at the beginning was horrific enough, but on top of that, that stinker of a hero made the heroine do housework, treating her like a drudge! Shortly after the horrid rape, the "hero" hands the heroine off to his staff. She's made to sleep on a straw pallet, forced to wear a shapeless shirt like all the other servants, and then relegated to the kitchen. ("For the next few hours Catherine folded dough, longing to pillow her head in the soft mass to sleep forever. At last, a bell sounded by the hearth nearest the door and her stomach gave a gurgle of joy. Breakfast!") But before she can eat, she's forced to serve the hero at his table. All because the hero wants revenge against her father. Or was that because he was too cheap to hire on more servants and was forced to kidnap them from central casting? Anyway, enough is enough! I shoved that book in a box.
But the weird time is that sometimes getting my hands on an elusive copy of a book is a letdown before I can read the book to find out what I think. Maybe I'm weird, but I'm often reluctant to start a hard-to-find book once I get my hands on it. What if I hate it, after all this trouble? Sure, lots of other people loved that book - but lots of people loathed it as well. Maybe it's not my style after all. For example, I recently bought a copy of Teresa Deny's The Silver Devil on eBay at a good price. But as soon as it came in the mail, I thought, "Now what do I do with it?" It wasn't that I didn't want to read it. But I was hesitant because I had heard so much about it, both good and bad (is the hero evil, or is he merely Machiavellian to the extreme?), and because I was afraid I might damage the book. It's like buying one of those fancy new journals and then realizing you can't write in it because that would mess it up. While I got a good price, I still didn't want to read it in the tub or carry it in my book bag where it could be damaged. But finally, I wanted to read it enough that I found a protective bag for it so that I could carry it around in my purse. Because of my experience with Stormfire, I was surprised when I began to enjoy it. Then again, the beleaguered heroine and I haven't met the notorious hero yet, so we'll have to see.
So what have your experiences with hard-to-find books been? Did you ever track down a hard-to-find book, only to end up being disappointed in it? What kept it from being a great read? On the other hand, which hard-to-find books have been worth the trouble (and money)? What's the most you ever spent on a collectible romance? Was it worth it? Also, are you ever afraid to read a hard-to-find book once you find a copy?
When Only the "Wrong" Kind of Book Will Do
Like many romance readers, I don't have a TBR pile - I have a TBR apartment. There are dozens of books by authors like Judith Ivory, Julia Quinn, Loretta Chase, Laura Kinsale, and others waiting for me to read them. Not to mention scads of paranormals. And I want to read them. I know they're great writers. But often, I'm lured away by those very "wrong" books. How wrong? Well, books with horrible heroes or with huge big misunderstandings, or slick and easy to read books that I'll slip into easily.
One of my latest "wrong" books was Catherine Coulter's controversial Devil's Embrace. Sure, I'd read all the horrified reviews about it, including AAR's. In her review AAR reviewer Lily Berry wrote, "It seems to me that many of the 'rapes' that take place in romance fiction rarely resemble the brutality and violation of real rape. But Coulter seems unwilling to settle for anything less than the real thing." Or as a reader on Amazon said of the hero, "I hate Anthony. He should be castrated."
But was it anything like those reviewers said? Oh it certainly was, in spades. On top of that, it was travelogue heavy. (It's OK to piss me off as a reader, but don't bore me!) Still, I finished it, with a lot of skimming. Through it all, I kept thinking "This would have been great if the idiot hadn't raped her, and if she had cut back on the travelogue and internal monologue. Oh, and cut out the brutal gang rape."
So why didn't I just read a nice comfortable Julia Quinn story instead? I could say that sometimes we don't want to be comfortable, we want to have our comfort zones dented. But I don't think there were such deep psychological reasons behind reading those books. Instead, it's like the lure of watching a car wreck tied in with the easy excitement that all those "bad" elements bring us. We don't always want something deep or even something light. Sometimes we want angst and anger, and what better way to find that in a story than to plunge into the "wrong" kind of book.
Have you ever turned to the "wrong" kind of book, even if you had plenty of other books to choose from? What is the lure? Also, do you ever end up with readers' regret afterwards?
The Lure of Bad Reviews
Do you ever read a book because of bad reviews or bad buzz, just to see if it's as bad as everyone says? Sometimes a really negative review can make a book more attractive, in the same way that I sometimes want to see a movie just because the big name reviewers say that only people with bad taste would enjoy it. I can still remember the afternoon I was deciding whether or not to see The Scorpion King at the theater. (The Rock, bare-chested and in leather...what could go wrong?!) Hesitant at first, I checked the reviews. Most of them complained that this was a crass, empty movie full of senseless action scenes and loud noises. For example, Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribute said it was "Another grandiose, hyperactive crock, full of lame jokes and gorgeous, stupefying images." And Joshua Vasquez of Matinee Magazine said it "Reeks of rot and hack work from start to finish." Other reviewers compared it to a comic book or complained that it was mindless and stupid. That's when I knew I had to see it! And guess what, I loved every minute of it. Especially the Rock's chest. Uhm, where was I again?...
Then there was the review for James Crumley's private eye novel The Last Good Kiss that praised the book to the high heavens but warned readers not to read the last chapter because it ruined the whole book! Faced with a review like that, who could resist? I gulped down that book, and of course, devoured the final chapter. While I could see why the reviewer had hated it, I thought it gave the novel an extra edge.
In some ways, romance reviews can have the same effect. If a reviewer complains that the hero did something stupid near the end that ruined the book for her, I want to read the book to find out what he did. If a reviewer warns us that a book is full of stupid big misunderstandings or a lame big secret, then I am so there.
It all boils down to wanting to find out "what happens next." Still, you'd think that by now, I'd learn that curiosity killed the cat! All too often, the reviewer turns out to be right. The hero really was a stupid ass at the end, or the big misunderstandings or secrets were truly lame. Yet you never know. Sometimes reading the book anyway will help you find a new keeper. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I've read horribly negative reviews of everything from Linda Howard's Mackenzie's Mountain to Donna Simpson's Lord St. Claire's Angel (one of my keepers) - although thankfully not at AAR.
Also, reviews don't have to tickle my curiosity to make me interested in a book. A well-written negative review (like the ones here, of course!) will tell me enough about the book to tell me whether or not I might want to read it after all. For example, if the reviewer complains that the characters were too angst-ridden or the story was too Gothic, I make it a point to check that book out, just in case... After all, everyone at AAR knows what is often repeated on the boards - a review is just one person's opinion. What might truly annoy one reviewer could be just up my alley. In the same way, lots of people probably decided to buy Sharon Abe's The Smoke Thief because the review mentioned the cruelty of the hero, just as that was enough to make many readers avoid it.
The reaction to the review of The Smoke Thief proves that I'm not the only one out there who finds negative reviews an irresistible lure that only draws us into the book. Have you ever read a book because of a negative review? What was it about the review that led you to read the book? Do you often end up agreeing with the reviewer after all, or are you more likely to decide the reviewer was must have been smoking something? <g>

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The European police agency says a wide-ranging match fixing investigation has uncovered more than 380 suspicious matches, including Word Cup and European Championship qualifiers and two Champions League games.
Europol's chief Rob Wainwright said Monday the investigation uncovered "match fixing activity on a scale we have not seen before."
Wainwright says the probe uncovered 8 million ($10.9 million) in betting profits and 2 million ($2.7 million) in bribes to players and officials and has already led to several prosecutions. Wainwright says the involvement of organized crime "highlights a big problem for the integrity of football in Europe."
It was not immediately clear how many of the matches mentioned Monday have been revealed in previous match fixing investigations at a national level in countries including Germany and Italy.

The jury in the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center discrimination case got a crash course in school hiring policies and tenure procedures during the first day of trial testimony Wednesday.
Former TTUHSC School of Pharmacy professors Lucinda Miller and Elaine King Miller are suing the university in U.S. District Court, claiming they were denied tenure based on their gender and were retaliated against for complaining about a gender-based salary gap.
"This case is about getting a fair shake," Brad Howard, attorney for the professors, told the jury during his opening remarks, explaining how Tech's own documents would prove TTUHSC's early tenure policy is a "pretext for discrimination."
For the next four hours, Howard pressed dean Arthur Nelson Jr. in detail about salary offers he extended to male professors, whom he later recommended for tenure earlier than the procedural three-year timeline.
King Miller also alleges that Nelson refused to arrange for adaptive equipment for her after she was diagnosed as legally blind in 1999.
Howard also grilled Nelson about a September 1999 personal memo Nelson wrote, stating that he wasn't convinced King Miller was being truthful about her condition.
Howard produced a July 1999 letter from a Texas Commission of the Blind doctor addressed to TTUHSC human resources.
Nelson replied that the letter wasn't addressed to him.
"Is it your position here under oath that you hadn't seen this letter when you wrote this (memo) on Sept. 29 (1999)?" Howard asked.
"I don't recall seeing this (commission) letter," Nelson said.
Tech has denied all allegations. In her opening, school attorney Kathlyn Wilson said the school's tenure policy is designed to ensure productive faculty remain with TTUHSC.
Neither King Miller nor Miller were with TTUHSC long enough to develop a lengthy professional resume when they applied for tenure, and Miller quit, claiming she was harassed, Wilson said.
"She left students that she was supposed to teach and she wants to come here and tell you we made her do that," she said.
Since the initial filing in 2000, the case has been on a six-year trip through the court system.
Tech - arguing it had state sovereign immunity from the suit - appealed to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans in 2003 to block the case and won.
The circuit court reversed that decision last year.
The trial resumes at 9 a.m. today.

Want to hear one of our secrets? It's actually getting out more, so it's more of a thing we don't talk about than a bonafide secret....."Nine and Four Hundred"
Nine years ago, we started off on what we projected to be a six year commitment. It all started with a call from Josh Adachi from the Molokai Youth Center. They were looking for a company to provide instruction on how to make ukuleles. We were quick to grab on to this and one thing lead to another and it grew to the point where we decided to:
1. Provide our own ukuleles as kits
2. Pay our own way there
3. Volunteer our time
4. Take the entire company
We missed last year due to a hectic travel schedule as well as once in 2008, but we haven't missed a single child since the inception in 2004. We doubled up on the years we missed. 2013 marks our 9th year and here's how it went:
This year was no different from others, the entire team made it out to the Friendly Isle. This is probably the most anticipated one of all our travels each year.
Mahalo nui loa to Michael Drew and the ohana of Hotel Molokai as they have been hosting our groups each year since 2006. It helps us a lot.
The after workshops views are pretty good too. We made our daily rounds to the pool and washed off all the dust from the workshops. Not to mention, Molokai is HOT! So the pool was a literal oasis.
But of course the reasons why we were there is right here in the picture, all 70 reasons.
A little bit of sanding, gluing, assembling and oiling - then voila! We packed the entire cafeteria for this build. It was the first time we did this many kits. The previous record was about 43 of them. As for the results.....
Well I'd say this guy looks pretty excited about making his own KoAloha Ukulele, would you agree?
Most of our morning were spent at Kanemitsu Bakery. I had to depart from my low carb menu and went with this every morning, loco moco w fried rice. Don't be sad for me, it was ono!
We also try to make a short 10 minute trek up the hill to Kualapuu, where Kualapuu Cookhouse is. These folks are amazing.
I opted for the steak. Was more like a side of beef. Was so huge that it practically covered my entire plate. So so good!
Molokai is a double edged sword. Many think we are the ones bringing something of value there. In our eyes, we are the ones that walk away with more. The place is a reminder of how Hawaii used to be. It's taking a step back in time where people helped one another without expecting anything in return. A time when no one locked their house doors.
The island is often the brunt of economic jokes which lights our fire even more. We should all be helping one another to make this short life just even a little bit better. It's fair to say that many of the families would not be able to afford the ukulele we build there, but that depends on how you measure paying. We were showered with home made goodies in baskets that overflowed. They all tasted incredible. After all, they gave what they could and money can't buy that.
So we broke our promise. We went back after we completed the first six years. At nine years, we've broken that intent three times. 400 instruments later, we don't have any issues breaking our word again next year. Mahalo ke Akua, we are the ones that are blessed.

I'm running debian squeeze on a rented dedicated server and in the recent time the server gets more often unreachable from one moment to the other with any external service.
During this downtime, the crontabs etc. are running normally and I couldn't find any clou of a crash or related in any logfiles.
To get the control back, I simply restart it through the web interface of my provider.
Regarding to this topic: Linux networking crash: best steps to find out the cause? I confronted my provider with this problem, but they couldn't find any problems with their NIC or the network card, additional they changed my server hardware completely (Except HDD).
How I could get closer to the source who causing these downtimes?
Sadly I have no access to the server when it's external unreachable, to make any tests.
While the server is unreachable "arp -na" returns "at < incomplete > at on eth0". (I made a simply crontab who checks this state) In the syslog I can't find any information related to this problem.

FAQ: Best Practices in the Classroom
What should an essay assignment include?
All essay assignments should be distributed to students on paper (rather than just verbally described). Such assignments should specify the due date, page length requirement, and a clear purpose for the assignment. It can be helpful to initiate brainstorming by asking questions that might generate topic ideas. It's also helpful to clarify the criteria you'll be looking for (thesis, argument, support, organization, etc.). This document is also helpful if a tutor at the Academic Support Center is helping your student.
Should I give my students the in-class essay prompt in advance?
In-class essays are typically treated like an exam. Students should be told in advance which texts to read so they can reread and annotate, but they should not be given the actual essay question in advance.
What can students refer to when they write their in-class essays?
Students should definitely refer to their textbook so that they can incorporate quotes into their essays as support. Throughout the course, they should be encouraged to annotate their texts, so it's appropriate for them to refer to such annotations during the in-class essay. However, you should make sure that they haven't written out an actual essay in the book. Likewise, if they won't write in their books (despite the bookstore policy that it doesn't make a difference in the price they'll get for it), encourage them to use post-it notes. They could refer to such post-it notes during the in-class essay, again assuming they don't have entire paragraphs written on them. A dictionary and thesaurus may also be used.
Are students allowed to revise their in-class essays for a higher grade?
No. You may allow students to revise their graded out-of-class essays if you wish to do so, but students may not revise their in-class essays.
How much feedback and what kind of feedback should I give on drafts?
There is no one single answer to this question. When you provide feedback on rough drafts, it can be helpful to focus on the big picture (like thesis, argument, support, and organization), as opposed to focusing on editing grammar or technical errors. When you provide feedback on a final draft, comments about those issues should continue, but more specific comments regarding topic sentences, transitions, style, grammar, etc. could be added. Too many comments can be overwhelming, and too few can be unclear.
How do I handle plagiarism?
If you suspect plagiarism, try to get proof (e.g. type a sentence from the student's paper into Google, and it may take you to the student's source). If you find proof, we recommend that you write a memo to the Dean of Academic Affairs outlining the situation and providing copies of the evidence. If you go through the office of the Dean of Academic Affairs, the first offense is considered a warning, but the second offense can get the student expelled. You do, however, have considerable discretion regarding how you handle the situation. Some instructors fail that particular assignment; some instructors fail students for the course. If it's not too late in the semester, some instructors recommend that the student drop the class. There are a variety of options depending on the situation.
If you do write a memo to the Dean of Academic Affairs, it should be cc'd to the student and to the Chair of the English Department. It should also explain the assignment, the details of the student's violation, and your response. You should also attach the student's paper with the plagiarized source text, and highlight the identical or similar passages (if applicable). Remember to keep copies of everything for your own records. Don't hesitate to contact the Chair or the Adjunct Liaison if you suspect plagiarism; we can also provide you with a sample memo to the Dean.

Bryan Wayne Hulsey trial update: Jury finds aggravating factors in Glendale officer's shooting death
PHOENIX - A jury has found aggravating factors in the trial of a man convicted of shooting a Glendale police officer to death.
Bryan Wayne Hulsey was convicted on Monday of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.
Court officials said the jury found two aggravating factors in the case.
The shooting death of Glendale police Officer Anthony Holly occurred during a traffic stop in 2007.
Another officer was also shot and wounded.
Hulsey, 40, was a passenger in a vehicle that had been pulled over for speeding and not having a license plate.
Prosecutors said Hulsey got out of the car and fired two shots, one of which struck Holly.
Holly was there to serve as backup to another officer who had actually made the traffic stop.
The next phase of the trial will be the penalty phase and it will begin on August 11, 2014 at 10:30 a.m.
At that time jurors will consider mitigating factors and whether they outweigh the aggravating factors before deciding on a sentence.
