AMC cancels 'The Killing' again
AMC has canceled "The Killing" — again.
"We have made the difficult decision not to move forward with a fourth season of 'The Killing,'" AMC said in a statement. "We want to thank our great partners at Fox Television Studios, creator Veena Sud, an extraordinary cast and the dedicated fans who watched."
You all know the story of "The Killing" by now: greeted as the next great thing from the channel that gave us "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad," then with frustration as its first season consumed too many red herrings at the expense of interesting plots or characters, then with anger and incredulity when the first season didn't solve the Rosie Larsen mystery in a way the ads had implied, and then apathy by the time the Larsen case was closed at the end of its second season. AMC pulled the plug, then reconsidered when scheduling needs changed and a it looked like a deal could be made with Netflix to help pay some of the budget for a third season.
That third season was a creative improvement over the first two, but only to a point: the non-police characters were much better integrated into the storytelling (and the performances by Peter Sarsgaard and newcomer Bex Taylor-Klaus were terrific), but cop heroes Linden and Holder remained gullible at every turn, and the finale was another disappointment. The ratings were about on par with the second season, but despite that, the Netflix deal and better reviews — not to mention the big holes in the schedule that are about to be left after the final seasons of "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" (and the probable one-and-done fate of "Low Winter Sun") — AMC (as first reported by Deadline) decided to move on.
As I said when the season three finale aired, Veena Sud had improved the show just enough that I would have watched more episodes (while focusing on the characters and ignoring the plot entirely) if they were made, but I'm also fine with the show coming to an end. Sud got a second chance after the negative response to the Larsen-centric seasons, and she fixed what she could, but the TV landscape today is so much denser than even a few years ago when "The Killing" debuted that viewers will not lack for other dense, slow-burning drama series.
What does everybody else think? Given the tweaks for season 3, are you upset AMC isn't continuing the show, or are you ready to let Joel Kinnaman do something better?

Pep Bonet: Faith in Chaos
Faith in Chaos. Photojournalist Pep Bonet (previously mentioned in this excellent post) has won the 2005 W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography, a $30,000 prize, to support his project on post-war Sierra Leone. The W. Eugene Smith Grant was founded in 1976 to provide financial freedom to photojournalists working on long-term projects in the humane tradition of W. Eugene Smith. Past winners have included Stanley Greene, Brenda Ann Kenneally, Sebastiao Salgado, Eli Reed, Eugene Richards and Gideon Mendel. More inside.
Fazel Sheikh's Refugees
Fazal Sheikh's photographs have documented the plight of refugees in camps across Central and East Africa and the Middle East. However, his photographs are distinctly different from the images of refugees we commonly see in printed news articles. Sheikh's photographs implicitly assert that the individual refugees share humanity with their oppressive rulers. He does so by depicting the individuals in portraits rather than as victims of a social and political drama. Sheikh, an American citizen, was just awarded the Grand Prix International Henri Cartier-Bresson.

'Admission' goes to the middle of the class - and that's OK
Average is in the eye of the beholder. But at the movies, the expectations of the beholder matter most.
If you were expecting, say, a recent Hobbit to make you cheer and cry just because another group of Hobbits did 10 years ago, average can be especially disappointing. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Calculating Online FTE
Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had models for calculating your online FTE (as a subset of your campus FTE)? I suspect many of you may have fully online students (students taking a complete course online, or enrolled in a fully online program), blended/hybrid students (those taking some portion of the course online, perhaps resulting in reduced in-class seat time) and web enhanced courses (those courses where content and activities are available online, but there is no reduced expectations or workload in class). We would like to be able to establish the FTE that describes just the online population, those enrolled in fully online courses, blended/hybrid and web enhanced, however we are not sure how to calculate this. For example, should web enhanced courses be included? Should blended students be considered "part-time?" Are there any campuses currently calculating their online FTE as they might calculate how many FTE are in their College of Letters and Science, Biology Major, etc.?

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Bucks shot 1-of-16 from 3-point range and 39 percent from the field. That probably would have meant a blowout loss not long ago.
Not anymore.
Michael Redd scored 27 points Tuesday night to lead the surging Bucks to their third win in a row and fifth in six games, 94-86 over the Utah Jazz.
"It's huge for us," said Luke Ridnour, who had 11 points, 11 assists and six steals. "A couple of weeks ago, we might not have won this game, shooting the way we did. We wouldn't have gotten the stops we needed. Sometimes your offense can affect your defense, but tonight we were able to push through it.
"Nobody hung their heads, and we just kept fighting."
The three-game winning streak is Milwaukee's longest this season, and the Bucks snapped an eight-game losing streak against Utah. The Jazz finished 2-3 on their five-game road trip.
Reserve Andrei Kirilenko scored a season-high 22 for Utah. Deron Williams added 17 points, eight assists and eight rebounds, but had seven of Utah's 24 turnovers.
"We've been turning the ball over a number times in the last few games and having a terrible time handling the basketball," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "That doesn't give you much of a chance to win.
"I didn't think we really busted a gut to play the game. I thought we played kind of soft and looked like we were feeling sorry for ourself a little bit. That looks like street ball to me, the way we played. Come out and guys trying to get shots off from 25 feet, and there's no chance to rebound it. Paul Millsap can't get all of them."
The Jazz were playing without center Mehmet Okur, who sat out with back spasms, and forward Carlos Boozer, who missed his 18th consecutive with a strained left quad tendon.
Utah also received a scare in the first quarter, when Millsap injured his left knee after he landed awkwardly trying to block Redd's layup. He stayed on the ground for several minutes before being helped to the locker room, putting no pressure on his left leg.
X-rays were negative, and Millsap returned to the bench late in the second quarter with his left knee in a brace. He started the second half and finished with 11 points and nine rebounds, snapping his streak of 15 consecutive double-doubles, which was the longest active stretch in the NBA.
Utah shot 38 percent (30-for-79), including 3-for-14 from behind the arc. The Bucks weren't much better, making 33 of 85 shots and its season-low one 3-pointer.
"I felt like we played well again, especially on the defensive end," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "The guys have made progress."
The Jazz never led after the first quarter and trailed by as many as 19 early in the second half, but they tied it at 77 and were within 88-85 after four points in a row by Kirilenko. Redd sank a 15-footer with 1:12 remaining to seal it.
"We were aggressive," Redd said. "We are not going to back down. We did a good job of just persevering. It got down to two, three a couple times, and we just made plays when we had to. This was a test of our will tonight."
The Bucks scored 17 points off 12 Jazz turnovers in the first half and led 50-38 at halftime. Redd, who shot just 1-of-9 on 3-pointers and 9-of-25 overall, had 12 points in the half.
Ramon Sessions scored six points in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter to extend Milwaukee's lead to 77-67, but Utah came back with a 10-0 run, including five points from Williams, to make it 77-77 with 7:08 remaining.
The Bucks went back up 83-77 on six free throws, four by Redd.
"We've still got a lot of work to do," Redd said. "The playoff race is going to be tight down the stretch, and we have to continue to grind it out. That was a grind-out game."
Bucks guard Charlie Bell left the game in the second quarter with right knee soreness and did not return.
Millsap had an ice bag and wrap on his left knee after the game. "I felt something pop, and I felt like it was over," he said. "I felt like, 'Why me?' After I got it moving, it felt pretty good." Said Williams: "It was a little scary there for a minute. When he went down, it made me nervous, real nervous." ... Okur, who is averaging 16.6 points and 8.2 rebounds, had tallied at least 23 points and nine rebounds in each of his last three contests. ... The Bucks have won five in a row at home, their longest home winning streak since the start of the 2007-08 season, when they had six consecutive victories at the Bradley Center.

MASSAPEQUA PARK - Police are trying to track down the trio who stole a pricey bicycle from a Nassau County shop and also attempted to target a second store.
Investigators say the suspects, a woman and two men, used distraction techniques in both cases.
Daniel Sirota, of Brand Cycle and Fitness in Wantagh, says the three came into his store last Thursday. Two of them distracted a salesperson while the third wheeled a $6,000 mountain bike out the door. They were captured on surveillance video.
"I think they know what they're doing," Sirota says. "They realize they can probably sell them on Craigslist, eBay or the black market and make a pretty quick killing."
The same suspects were seen on surveillance video at Sunrise Cycle in Massapequa Park. They allegedly attempted another distraction robbery, but were not successful in that case.
Cathy Totino, of Sunrise Cycle, says she believes the suspects wore earphones to relay messages to each other. She says she followed them outside and saw them get into a green minivan that had out-of-state license plates.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.

Where does it lead...it leads to a lot of spins. We've known that for a while. What we hope is that the Spin SIG leads to higher quality and more maintainable spins. The Spin SIG is the process by which we can tier these efforts so we do not have to support each and every spin concept as part of the "Release" process. Fact 0: We want people to build quality spins. Fact 1: our spin creation tools are make it dirt simple to create spins, but we still need a best-practices approach with human review to ensure quality. Fact 2: We do not have the resource to build and host every possible spin that the community is interested in building. Its perfectly okay if our community wants to build 100 different solid spin concepts that we could brand as Fedora. If you and warren need to work in parallel to get spin concepts up and running that target similar but different usage cases..that's okay too. The key idea is this, with the Spin SIG and the kickstart pool, community members like yourself can work on these things, can even build these things via Fedora infrastructure. The Spin SIG sets defines the quality bar for what lives in the kickstart pool. Everyone who wants to brand their spin as a Fedora spin, and we do want people to be able to call these things Fedora, need to meet the technical and quality bars that the Spin SIG defines. And you know what else, over time, as we get more comfortable with usb as a delivery mechanism and the size of affordable usb thumb drives continues to go up this will impact what we think of as space limits on a spin and people will push beyond the cd or dvd size boundary and target there spin images for usb keys...that's okay to. At that point you and warren might ba able to merge your efforts..and that would be wonderful. But the Fedora Project doesn't have to "release" these sorts of spins as part of any Fedora Release..even once they are granted access to the trademark. What does that mean? That means community members need to find their own hosting to point users to for the spin binaries they produce. And you know what that is completely okay too. We simply do not have the resources to host everything that people in our community want to do. As Spins become more popular and more innovative we will have to make some hard choices as to which Spins should be part of a particular Fedora release, every release period. Competition for scarce resources is the responsible approach to resource management. And that is where the release process comes in. Spins can be submitted for release selection..I believe right now that is expected to happen as part of the Release Feature process..releases are chosen based on merit and constrained by infrastructure resources set aside for spins. If a spin isn't part of a release, then it doesn't get official project hosting..but it can still get trademark access because it lives in the kickstart pool. It's a compromise that lifts up the best of the best while still letting new spin development flourish. -jef

Yeah, I'll let you keep the punchcards :P. My first programs were stored on cassette tape. So, I'm old enough to know vinyl and tape but not old enough to worry about card stacks. I have, however, used a slide rule before, when a teacher said that electronic calculators weren't allowed in her classroom.
I'm told that London Computer Museum built a working difference engine based on Babbage's original designs, so those old punchcard skills may still come in handy for you soon.
Edit: A little research tells me that it's Babbage's original machine that's on display in London. The recently-built working model is in Mountain View, CA. Oddly enough, that's where Google is headquartered.

Frankie's Place: A Love Storyby Jim Sterba
"To Sterba, his beloved's cabin is an enchanted castle by the sea, and like its fairy-tale prototype, Frankie's place imposes mysterious laws and rituals, which the aspirant must master before he is deemed an acceptable consort. His prize is, indeed, a woman of daunting attributes: 'She was blond, tall, beautiful, smart, famous, and scary.'" -The Los Angeles
"To Sterba, his beloved's cabin is an enchanted castle by the sea, and like its fairy-tale prototype, Frankie's place imposes mysterious laws and rituals, which the aspirant must master before he is deemed an acceptable consort. His prize is, indeed, a woman of daunting attributes: 'She was blond, tall, beautiful, smart, famous, and scary.'" -The Los Angeles Times Book Review
A Tracy-Hepburn romance in which a down-to-earth newspaperman charms a New York sophisticate and brings her down a notch, while she teaches him a thing or two.
Frankie's Place, A Love Story, is a portrait of a place and a marriage. It's about a sophisticated, blond New York City intellectual who falls for a Michigan farm boy turned foreign correspondent.
Every year after the long Manhattan winter, Frances FitzGerald, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning Fire in the Lake, heads north to Mount Desert Island to spend the summer writing. Her simple cottage looks over a cove, part of Somes Sound, which is full of sailboats and lobster buoys. People come to visit and one year Jim Sterba, an acquaintance, comes to for a week, and then the next year it's two, until gradually he becomes a fixture in her life for the whole summer.
The story chronicles one particular summer that Jim and Frankie are spending at Frankie's place, a spot Jim considers "the perfect writer's retreat." "Frankie's place couldn't be special to me without Frankie. The cozy house, the woods and water, the lovely views and the extraordinary island were part of a stage on which our relationship grew...."
Immediately upon arriving, they start the summer with a swim in the icy ocean, and a morning plunge will begin every day thereafter. Sterba charmingly depicts their busy routine in Maine of writing straight through the core of the day, and filling late afternoons-at four o'clock all work stopped-then there are arduous hikes, blueberry-picking, mussel-gathering, and scavenging for mushrooms. Wonderful recipes including ingredients from the fruit of their labor appear throughout the book-this is true Yankee cooking with corn roasted fully husked in the oven, and Frankie engaged in the gruesome art of killing the lobster.
Jim loves everything quirky, odd, and old-fashioned about the nearest village to the house - from its bizarre Camden Marine Radio where he eavesdrops on lonely fisherman speaking out into the night, to its weather station which monitors the constant push and pull of frontal systems that affect the delicate coastline, to Mr. Pyle, who is at once the town's cop, the librarian, and part-time soda jerk.
Interwoven are flashbacks - we hear about Sterba's burgeoning career as a journalist, his intense years as a foreign correspondent for The New York Times and why he switches to writing for The Wall Street Journal. Growing up on a struggling dairy farm in Michigan, young Jim was responsible for all the strenuous and constant farm chores. In stark contrast, Frankie's family goes back to the earliest settlers of Boston. The Parkmans and the Peabodys are from Boston (including Endicott Peabody, founder of the Groton School), and the FitzGeralds are of New York. Her mother, Marietta Tree was a socialite and a big Democrat, who was married first to Frankie's father, CIA operative Desmond FitzGerald, and then to an Englishman Ronald Tree. Frankie's life as an only child, spirited between ritzy Manhattan and a grand estate in England, was lonely. At one point, she told Jim that while living in the English castle Ditchley, it was so large she could never find her mother in its twenty-six bedrooms. So, Frankie's house becomes a place for both of them to find substantive rest, spiritual space, and loving comfort. It is for both their first real home.
As fall approaches, Jim and Frankie head back to New York for their "second autumn" (New York's leaves turning later than Maine's), and for a long winter in a new apartment where they have finally moved in together. Previous years had gone by where both were unable to give up their old digs, essentially overgrown work places. The book closes with a conversation Frankie's Uncle George is having with Jim, Frankie, and a few others about the family burial plot. A family stone of red granite with the inscription-Peabody--has been placed there, bayberry bushes have been planted, and Uncle George mentions a space available and asks whether Jim would be interested. Jim is completely taken aback. He can't imagine any other place he would want to be forever. He says yes.
Frankie's Place is the generous portrait of both a place and a marriage that Sterba develops with wry, loving detail.

Read an Excerpt
Frankie never called what she did "writing," she called it "typing." For most of the year she "typed" in a tiny office on the Upper East Side on the island of Manhattan overlooking the East River. Her office wasn't much bigger than a walk-in closet, but it was part of a book-lined one-bedroom apartment on the top floor of a creaky, five-story brick walkup built just after the Civil War. From her windows, she could look out on to the river and watch the city's water traffic. Tugboats growled up and down. Sightseeing boats headed north on their New York City tours. Passenger ferries trudged back and forth from La Guardia airport. Private motor yachts cruised by, along with speedboats and the occasional sailboat, their skippers waging tricky battles for control in the East River's muscular tidal currents.
Each summer, Frankie decamped around the first of July to another island named Mount Desert, on the coast of Maine. There, she typed in a small house in a forest overlooking a fjord called Somes Sound, which runs for some seven miles up the middle of the island. On each side of the fjord rise forested mountains of pink granite rounded smooth by glaciers and grown up with cedars, spruce and pines, patches of junipers and huckleberry, blueberry and bayberry bushes, and hundreds of wildflowers, plants and mushrooms that inhabit the northern forest. The mountains, many barren on top, are part of Acadia National Park. Here, Frankie's view, beyond the trees outside her window, was another waterscape, this one dotted with lobster trap buoys and alive with sea birds.
Outside the house, just off the porch under a cedar tree, three old wooden lobster traps aged in a bed of pine needles. Out back, a tangle of blackberry bushes fought with ferns for sunlight. Under the house sat a stack of firewood and a green canoe with enough scratches to suggest a history of intimacy with barnacles on the granite ledges out front.
The walls inside the house were gray. The floors and slanted ceilings were walnut-colored, giving rooms the dark feel of a cabin in the woods, or what, I learned later, other summer people called a camp. The shades on the windows were slatted rattan roll-ups. The centerpiece of the living room was a huge fireplace made of rough granite stones collected nearby. In front of the fireplace, a thick wooden ship's hatch served as a coffee table. On the back walls were shelves stuffed with books, above them was a loft with more shelves and more books, and in the ceiling above was a skylight.
A large kilim rug covered much of one wall. Below it, on a low table, sat a golden Buddha that had been rescued from the war in Vietnam. Its right torso was charred by fire. It was life-sized, it faced the front door, and it made an instant impression on anyone coming into the house for the first time. It made such an impression on the young children of Frankie's brother and sister that they came to call the place "Buddha's house."
Frankie first invited me for a visit over a long weekend in July of 1983. I had seen a lot of America and the world as a newspaper reporter. But I had never been north, or east, of Boston, and the Maine coast was completely new to me. I took an Eastern Airlines shuttle from New York to Boston, then hopped a tiny, twin-engine commuter propjet for the Bar Harbor airport, which is situated in the village of Trenton on what I came to learn was referred to by islanders as "the mainland." There, Frankie picked me up in a decrepit 1966 Volvo station wagon and drove me on to the island of Mount Desert, which she pronounced "dessert."
What impressed me first about Frankie's place was its isolation. The house was situated on a peninsula, and to get to it she turned off the main road down a narrow winding lane, bumping over stones and ruts through half a mile of dense forest. From the small clearing where she parked, we could see the house tucked among the evergreens, its cedar siding weathered to a black-streaked gray. From the car we padded over exposed tree roots and a spongy carpet of pine needles flanked by beds of moss, lichen-covered granite and patches of ferns and bayberry bushes. Three wooden steps led to a front porch, which overlooked water through more trees.
Inside, the house was dark but cozy. It felt like a nest. It was devoid of worldly distractions. There was no television, no radio. Indeed, except for a telephone, it was removed from all contact with other human beings that wasn't self-initiated. Of all the fantasies I'd had over the years of the perfect writer's retreat, none came closer than this. It turned out to be a great place to relax, too.
But that wasn't what Frankie had in mind. I was a guest that first summer, and not the only guest. Two of her friends from New York, Kevin and Gail, arrived shortly after I did. As guests, in Frankie's view, we had to be entertained. That meant her typing had to stop temporarily. Kevin, a magazine editor, and Gail, a writer, had been guests in the past. They were wise to the drill and shrewdly opted out of much that lay ahead. Frankie's idea of entertainment included so-called "walks" up and down mountains that would have been called forced marches in many of the world's armies. There was "swimming," an anemic euphemism for the shock therapy that awaited us in the icy ocean waters of Somes Sound. Tennis meant putting oneself at the wrong end of a vicious forehand. Then came trips to smaller islands and walks around their rocky shores. Then sailing, which meant following orders, sorting out a tangle of ropes, being corrected for calling them ropes instead of lines and sheets, and pulling them and cranking winches until rarely-used muscles burned, and later ached. Then more mountains, more tennis, more "walking," more "swimming." I called it the FitzGerald Survival School.
Between these recreational ordeals, Frankie took me to the little village of Northeast Harbor. We drove down the eastern side of Somes Sound on one of the prettiest stretches of road I had ever seen. She showed me its snug harbor full of sailboats of every size and description. The harbor was flanked by steep, wooded hills dotted with large shingled cottages. She introduced me to Mr. Stanley, the fishmonger, and Bob Pyle, the librarian. She took me to McGrath's, the little store where she got the newspapers, to Brown's hardware and to the Pine Tree Market. She showed me the house in Aunt Hannah's pasture on Smallidge Point where she spent summers with her grandparents when she was small. She took me to the Fleet, a yacht club across the cove, where as a child she took rowing and sailing lessons. She told me a great deal about the history of the village and her family's long attachment to it; how her ancestors arrived as summer rusticators three generations ago. I remember listening to this, but I don't remember paying much attention to it. I was trying to catch my breath, and to steel myself for the next event of the FitzGerald Survival School.
The accommodations at Frankie's place were spartan. Behind the living room were two bedrooms where guests stayed. The beds were plywood racks topped with firm foam rubber slabs that served as mattresses. The end tables were made of unfinished plywood and had single drawers.
A third bedroom flanked the kitchen on the other side of the house. Besides a bed and two reading tables with lamps, the only other piece of furniture in it was a built-in L-shape plywood desk that faced south and west out large windows and afforded a panorama of Somes Sound through the trees. Here, Frankie "typed" on a half-century-old Remington Noiseless manual typewriter that weighed a ton and sounded like thunder. In the late morning, the sun rose high enough over a dense stand of tall cedars to spill its rays into the room and on to her desk. In the afternoon, the sun beamed in over her right shoulder from beyond the front porch, high over the Sound. That is, of course, if the sun shined at all. Sometimes it was cloudy. Sometimes it rained. More often the sun was obscured by a commodity of nature under-appreciated by those who have not spent time on the Maine coast: fog. Sometimes the fog swooped in so densely that it completely obscured the Sound and made Frankie's place seem like it was cacooned in cotton.
Fog or sun, Frankie sat for the main part of each day "typing" in splendid isolation. Not that she was entirely alone. Squadrons of seagulls patrolled her vista. Ravens and crows squawked in the treetops. An osprey, with its singular high-pitched cry, perched much of the time atop half-dead spruces near the shoreline. A magnificent bald eagle lived in the neighborhood, and made regular passes, occasionally stopping out front. There were forest birds and water birds, jays and thrushes, cormorants and loons. Chipmunks scampered over the porch. Red squirrels plied the trees.
Then there was me. How I joined the ranks of the fauna that were more or less permanent fixtures at Frankie's place is part of this story. It is, to tell the truth, a mystery. I know this much: I survived the FitzGerald Survival School that first weekend and then was invited back for another weekend in the fall. I survived again. The next summer, Frankie invited me for a week. Meanwhile, we began to spend more and more time together in New York.
Gradually, our commutes between Manhattan and Mount Desert became a habit. Each July, Frankie and I returned to Somes Sound, staying as long as possible, sometimes only a few weeks, sometimes a month, sometimes through Labor Day, and, occasionally, into October and beyond.
By mid-June, as Manhattan turned hot and sticky, our longing for Maine began to well up. Then on the appointed day, we would fly to Bangor, take a taxi to Ellsworth, where the old Volvo spent the winter. Reunited with this rusting hulk, we proceeded to stuff it with groceries and supplies and join a great caravan of vacationers headed for the coast. Along the way, we would begin to overdose on the green intensity of the forested landscape, with its many shades and hues. Finally, we would arrive at a clump of familiar lobster pounds, their outdoor pots steaming on both sides of the highway. Then it was up to a little causeway across the Trenton Bridge, over Thompson Island and on to Mount Desert Island. In the middle of the bridge, as the smell of ocean brine filled our nostrils, Frankie yelled, "Whoopie!" It was a FitzGerald family tradition. It meant we were back.
There was a comforting sameness to the summers at Frankie's place. There was a stability and predictability in the permanence of place and ritual, in knowing that the rotten tree trunk out back was still there for picking over by the neighborhood woodpeckers. That the raccoon that prowled the peninsula would eventually pay a visit or two to the garbage can on the back porch.That the lane to our house would have grass growing between the furrows made by our tires, and that mushrooms would pop up along it beckoning to be turned into soup. That the tides would rise and fall twice a day, and when they were low, we could pick shiny, black mussels off the wet rocks and make a delicious meal of them.
We could count on the weather changing rapidly, radically, and often. It would offer up light and color so crisp and clear, as Frankie liked to say, that it hurt. It would deliver stiff winds or dead calms. It would blow in storms that howled through the night, or bring rain, drizzle and fog that hung around for days, keeping towels wet, clogging the salt-shaker and sending sodden vacationers fleeing like half-drowned rats.
There was a deep comfort in knowing that once we tucked ourselves into this tiny corner of the woods by the sea we were all by ourselves. We could work and play, read and cook, walk and swim, and be with each other just far enough beyond the edge of the world's clamor to feel momentarily out of harm's way. Or so we thought.
This story takes place in a summer that was the same as others in many ways. Each summer began with a great sense of anticipation, a buildup of energy to splurge on a fresh interlude in the crisp, clean air and green, watery outdoors of the Maine coast. Then we would settle into a routine of writing punctuated by bouts of play. The days would fly by. Local soap opera fueled chatter at dinner tables and at sunset gatherings called porch-benders. Then it would be over, as quickly as the snap of a switch in a gaily-lit room.
Some summers, singular events stood out in my memory: the sunny day I asked Frankie to marry me; our first porch crops; my first mackerel and striped bass; a new store in town. Others contained seasonal highlights: the damp summer when chanterelle mushrooms were everywhere; the chilly summer when tomatoes never got ripe.
There was the summer we bought our boat and began visiting outlying villages, exploring uninhabited islands, and watching sea birds and seal colonies; the summer we saw a mother skunk and five baby skunks parading beside the road into Northeast Harbor at sunset; the summer a cock pheasant and a fox played cat and mouse on the side of Cedar Swamp mountain, appearing before us at the same place along a walking trail almost every time we walked past.
There was the first time we went whale watching in a friend's little lobster boat. As we neared Mount Desert Rock, a tiny island twenty-five miles out to sea, we spotted some humpback whales in the distance. But they submerged before we could get near them. When we arrived at where they had been, we cut the boat's engine and quietly drifted. Within minutes, two huge humpbacks came up along side the boat, their snouts within inches of its hull, their eyes peering up at us, their blowholes exhaling the foulest breath in creation: eau de rotten shrimp. They stayed with us, circling, playing, diving under and around our little boat, for almost an hour.
This book began with recipes. Frankie is a by-the-book cook, and a good one. Whenever a reliable rendition of a classic Julia Child production was called for, Frankie got the assignment. I liked to improvise. Experimenting was part of what made cooking enjoyable for me. Sometimes I pushed too far. Once I made a pate out of mussels that even the seagulls avoided. On occasion my creations turn out not half bad. Sometimes I placed a new dish in front of Frankie and she sniffed, nibbled, and said, "You've got to write this down."
One summer I started writing down recipes. When I concocted a fish stew or a bean salad that we agreed was good enough to serve to dinner guests, I'd go to my computer and write down the recipe while Frankie did the dishes. I hated doing dishes. Washing and drying dishes, I learned early in life, was a task adults dreamed up to torture little boys. My boyhood interest in cooking was motivated in no small measure by a desire to avoid dirty dishes duty. When I cooked, I was exempt from dishes, and this exemption I carried through life.
Since the recipes took only a couple of minutes to write down, I'd linger at the computer (while Frankie finished the dishes). To fill the time, I'd write the source of the ingredients for the recipes. I wrote about foraging in the woods for mushrooms and foraging in the village for groceries. My writing began to take the form of a journal. I put down the events of the day leading up to the meal and even my thoughts during the day. I wrote about what we talked about on walks. When we told stories about events from the past, I put those in too. I wrote down growing-up stories, cub-reporting stories, young-writer stories, war stories.
Quite early in this summer of recipe journalism, some very unusual things began to happen. As I included them in my journal, I thought that I might have the makings of a book. The book would be about a summer at Frankie's place. To write it, I realized, I would have to answer a question: what was so special about Frankie's place?
The question can be answered many ways. One answer was about location. Frankie's place was on the biggest island on the Maine coast. It is a beautiful island with an interesting history. I'd read several books about Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, and the Maine coast, but I didn't know enough. To supply this answer, I set to work reading everything I could find about Mount Desert, from the history of its geology to the history of its inhabitants. Among those inhabitants were some of Frankie's ancestors, and they lured me deeper into the library stacks and through books that took me back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony and colonial Salem. All this became part of the story.
Another answer was about Frankie. Frankie's place couldn't be special to me without Frankie. The cozy house, the woods and water, the lovely views and the extraordinary island were part of a stage on which our relationship grew, and I knew that the story of that relationship would have to be part of my story as well.
Frankie's place was special to me for another obvious reason, but one I tried not to think about. Then one bizarre summer day I had no choice.
The day was August 23, 1991. It began at a small cemetery in the forest near Northeast Harbor where relatives and friends had gathered to bury the ashes of Frankie's mother. The morning, eight days after her death, was sunny, the wind still in the wake of a big storm that had battered its way up the coast and moved out to sea. The mourners, men in coats, ties, and white shirts, women in dark dresses, and children in shined shoes, gathered in clumps at the gravesite. The pastor said prayers. The mourners said their goodbyes. They took turns turning spade-fuls of dirt over a small tin box containing the ashes. Back at Frankie's place that evening, the phone rang. It was my uncle in Michigan. He said my father, my real father, was trying to find me. My uncle gave me a phone number. I called it as Frankie hovered at my shoulder.
"Hello," said the voice of a man I didn't know, a man who had disappeared from my life when I was two years old.
Discovering my father that night brought back painful memories. The life I told people I had lived was a kind of whirlwind of luck and adventure: growing up with relatives; then a stepfather on a farm; escaping to college and into journalism; travels to the far corners of the world as a foreign correspondent. It was exciting, but it wasn't the whole story. Something was missing: a home. I was a wanderer living in a suitcase.
Frankie's place let me unpack my socks, put them in the dresser, and feel at home.

I, too, felt as though that each time I opened up the book I was right there on the island at Frankie's cabin. The writing was strong, the imagery vivid and real, and the stories told were enough to make me think of vacationing out there just to see that area in my own eyes. Mr. Sterba's ability to intertwine stories of past history of his life, Frankie's, and the island in with current happenings around their home was poetic and real. I highly recommend it!
I loved this book! It was as though I was at Frankie's Place, and I hated to leave when I had to put the book down. The descriptions, humor and wit make for a delightful trip with the author through parts of his life - before and after finding Frankie's Place.
This book was very boring. It was hard to get through it. I kept waiting for something to happen in the story but I was left disappointed.

The West Ham and England footballer Matt Jarvis has posed for the cover of Britain's best-selling gay magazine in an attempt to crush one of the game's last remaining stigmas.
The married winger is only the third footballer to appear on the cover of Attitude in its 19-year history. David Beckham, who appeared in 2002, and Freddie Ljungberg who followed four years later, led the way.
Jarvis, 26, told Attitude that homosexuality was now "everyday life" and not "something that's going to be a shock". He added: "I'm sure there are many footballers who are gay, but when they decide to actually come out and say it, it is a different story. It's one that I'm sure they've thought about many times. But it's a hard thing for them to do," he said.
That view is vindicated by a recent study by the University of Staffordshire, that suggested the majority of fans would welcome players coming out, with 40 per cent of fans blaming clubs and agents for keeping gay footballers in the closet.
Jarvis said that times have changed and it is more likely that an openly gay footballer would receive the support he needed now. "There'd be support everywhere within the football community, whether it be players, fans or within the PFA [Professional Footballers' Association]. There would definitely be groups of people who would be supportive and help them through it," he said.
Previous case histories tell a different story. In 1990 Justin Fashanu – the first black £1m footballer, who played for Norwich, Nottingham Forest and Hearts – suffered extended abuse after coming out. He killed himself eight years later. The prejudices he faced were cited at the inquest into his death. The most high-profile footballer to come out since then is Anton Hysen a player in the Swedish lower leagues.
In the interview Jarvis agreed that not coming out could hamper performance in a sport that has traditionally considered homosexuality as a forbidden frontier. He said: "You've always got something you're worried about at the back of your mind. If you can let that go and then just concentrate on your one goal, which is whichever sport you're doing to the best of your ability, I think that would help. Definitely."
It is part of a wider attempt to tackle prejudice to homosexuality in football. Last month the Spanish midfielder Suso, who plays for Liverpool, was fined £10,000 for calling his team-mate José Enrique "gay" on Twitter and warned about his future conduct by the Football Association.
Previously, former Sheffield Wednesday captain Darren Purse said he would have to think hard before advising a young player to come out; Bayern Munich's German striker Mario Gomez made headlines when he did the opposite, urging gay players to break this last "taboo".Reuse content

From Musicophilia:
"In 1937 Macdonald Critchley…described eleven patients he had seen with epileptic seizures induced by music. The type of music that could provoke their seizures varied a good deal from patient to patient. One specified classical music, another 'Old Time' [music], while a third patient found that 'a well punctuated rhythm was for her the most dangerous feature in music.'"
Our first show of the tour was today. We played at the Bush Hall, a big venue in Shepherd's Bush with the Coal Porters, one of the most well-known string bands in the UK. We were all thrilled to play on the same stage that Amy Winehouse, the Killers, R.E.M and Adele all played at some point in their careers.
First we had a half hour radio spot on BBC London. You can listen to it here.
We loaded into Bush Hall around 4:30. It's a beautiful old room with a small balcony and intricate embellishments on the walls and ceiling. A crystal chandelier hangs from the middle of the ceiling. We had an hour of sound check then left to find something to eat.
After eating, a videographer friend of ours named Toby from On Par Productions wanted to shoot some footage of us before the show, so we did a quick live video of "Meet Me Where The Crow Don't Fly," then got to relaxing in the green room. Toby also wanted to shoot a video of the Coal Porters, so they started shooting outside. All of a sudden. we realized the song they were doing: "Wide Open Spaces." We were flattered to say the least that such a well-respected group from so far away was covering one of our songs.
Backstage leading up to the show we messed around, drank a little beer and played a little impromptu jazz jam. Andrew, the bass player of the Coal Porters, had some extra strings, so I replaced the D and G gut strings with steel strings that I'm more used to. Excitement was starting to kick in for all of us. This was our first show of the tour, and it was a highly anticipated one for everyone involved. Owl put a huge amount of time and effort since March into putting this show on, and we could all tell how keyed up he was.
The show went great. All told, there were about 100 people in the room and the London crowd was great to play to. We invited the Coal Porters up to play "Wide Open Spaces." After two encores and selling some merchandise, we left London to go back to Owl's flat to get some sleep before we head to Kent to play the Small World Festival.

"We personalized the color to make it match our accent color, gold. It came out perfect. The shimmer paper is so pretty and adds a little extra to the paper. We will be mailing our invites soon."
"I was having a hard time fitting everything I wanted to Information wise for my guests without having to stuff more paper in the main envelope. I absolutely love what I was able to do with the front and back of my Information cards!"
"This card is so nice and easy to personalize. I used it for the hotel information and RSVP information. I chose not to do mail-back RSVPs, so I put our wedding email address and a phone number for people to contact."
"I used this enclosure card as my RSVP card. I did not want my guests to mail back an RSVP card. I just wanted them to call, text or email me. They turned out great and match my invitations! I just wish they were not plain white on the back of the card. The invites continue with the flower pattern on the back which I loved and these did not. Overall, excellent quality!"
"We wanted a more complete description of 2 charities that we have selected to which guests can make donations rather than giving us gifts. This required a two sided insert card. The designer accommodated our needs fully."

My two daughters (7 and 8) were fighting to play, so they can beat each others fastest time. Great sound effects and fun. Enjoy matching Jewish holidays.
There is only one game, unlike most other kid games that have variations. Also the graphics are small making it difficult for a young child to distinguish all of the pictures in the matching game.

Last Friday, US Airways (LCC) and American Airlines (AAMRQ.PK) made another push for their merger as they asked the Department of Justice why it approved the previous mergers, such as the merger between Delta Airlines (NYSE:DAL) and Northwest Airlines or the merger between United Airlines and Continental Airlines. The two companies asked the Department of Justice to share documents regarding the approved mergers in order to study why and how they obtained approval. The Department of Justice will probably provide the airline companies with the documents; however, this might take a while.
Since the early 2000s, the airline companies have been consolidating in order to cut costs and increase their efficiency. The airline companies have to struggle with pension costs, unions, volatile oil prices, soft growth of demand, and aging aircraft. Because of the many issues faced by the airline companies, these companies often post losses and they are pushed into bankruptcy from time to time.
In 2002, US Airways declared bankruptcy. Only four months later, United Airlines became bankrupt, followed by Air Canada, Flash Airlines, Aloha Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Delta Airlines, Maxjet Airlines, Skybus Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Mexicana, American Airlines and Pinnacle Airlines in the following years. Since 2000, there have been 22 airline bankruptcies with some companies declaring two bankruptcies within a few years (i.e., US Airways in 2002 and 2004, Aloha Airlines in 2004 and 2008). During the recession of 2008 and 2009, airline companies around the world posted a combined loss of $30 billion. This year, the industry is expected to post a profit of nearly $10 billion; however, the huge losses incurred during the recession still haunt many airline companies in the shape of heavy debt and concerns of future losses. Airline companies realize that the best way of minimizing the chances of dying in a recession is to become as big as possible. In the past years, the Department of Justice approved several airline mergers; however it argues that the merger of American Airlines and US Airways is different from the other mergers it has already approved.
The documents requested by US Airways and American Airlines from the Department of Justice include past studies, forecasts and analyses that helped the government agency make a decision of approving the past mergers while denying this merger. Basically, the airline companies are kindly requesting the Department of Justice to "tell them how this merger is any different than the other mergers it has already approved."
While the government argues that the merger will reduce the competition and hurt the consumers by giving the new airline too much power, the airliners involved in the case argue that they need to have the merger approved in order for them to be able to compete with much larger airlines such as United Airlines and Delta Airlines. The US Airways and American Airlines argue that if the merger doesn't get approved, they will not be able to compete with the larger airlines and this will actually serve to reduce the competition rather than increasing it.
A couple weeks ago, a federal judge approved the business plan of American Airlines so that it can emerge from bankruptcy. Last year, American Airlines attempted to come up with an approvable business plan; however, after asking extension after extension, it realized that the only viable plan for its survival was to merge with US Airways. Those who have read my articles last year will remember that the management of American Airlines was pretty stubborn about how the company should emerge from the bankruptcy as a standalone company. At the end of the day, it was determined that if American Airlines emerged as a standalone company, it would just go back to bankruptcy in a matter of time. This is why the bankruptcy court did not approve the business plan of American Airlines until it involved a merger with US Airways. This approval probably will not play a role in securing an approval for the merger. Approval for emerging from bankruptcy and approval for merger are two separate items that are being addressed by two different judges. On the other hand, if the merger doesn't get approval, American Airlines will have to go back to the drawing board and create a viable business plan in order to gain another approval from the bankruptcy court. The current approval of the bankruptcy court is contingent on approval of the merger.
I've been covering this merger for more than a year. A couple weeks ago, when the merger was challenged by the Department of Justice, the share price of US Airways plunged from nearly $19 to $15. As I said many times, US Airways is very cheap regardless of the merger. This is why the stock price of the company has recovered back to where it was before the announcement of Department of Justice. The story is a little different for American Airlines. If the merger doesn't happen, the shareholders of American Airlines will see their shares getting cancelled. This is why American Airlines is a much bigger risk than US Airways. In November, this drama will come to an end and we will see how investors of each company fare after the decision.

Today ikat-inspired patterns are found on all sorts of materials, from fabrics to plastics. The name, according to several sources, is derived from "mengikat," an Indonesian word that means to tie or knot.

It's not every day you get the chance to see something as exotic and beautiful as this, the lightest road bike in the world. The impossibly-skinny Spin Custom frame is adorned with a whole host of featherweight parts to bring the total build weight to a little over 2.7kg, barely over 6 pounds.

Ericksens no throughway
A recent Review editorial suggesting that Ericksen Avenue may eventually become a throughway fails to recognize the history of the street, the merits of local history and cultural tourism, the popularity of the pedestrian walkway, the special and historic trees along the lane, and the irregular mismatched intersection of Ericksen Avenue and Bjune Drive at Winslow Way.
Seven historic buildings on the east side of lower Ericksen are among the first row of houses built contiguous in Winslow. That was Ship Yard Row or Flag Alley as folks of differing nationalities first called it and flew their flags there. There were other contiguous dwellings on the Island when those on Flag Alley were built circa 1902 Suquamish houses on Rockaway beach might be considered as such, as were mill-town residences in Port Madison and Port Blakely.
Early homes in Winslow and homesteads on the island were mostly farm houses and thus spread sparsely across the landscape of tree stumps and timber. The homes of Chris Ericksen and his coworkers at the new Hall Brothers Winslow Shipyard & Marine Railway were among the first that were built close together in Winslow. There were a few near the Madrone steamer landing, too.
Remember, Winslow was first named Madrone because of the madrona trees on Eagle Harbors north shore and one particularly large one at the foot of Madison where folks caught the boat. That should be a good reason today to save the madronas in Winslow Waterfront Park, dont you think?
When the shipyard was built in the winter of 1902-1903, folks who worked there did not need a lot of space around their homes for a dairy cow and a garden orchard, as most did. Their industrial employment gave them a living that allowed homes to be built close together. They could soon purchase needed goods from a few new stores. However, many hauled lumber to build their homes a board or two at a time... on their shoulders... and in row boats... from their jobs at the Port Blakely Mill. Thats what Chris Ericksen did.
Those folks also learned the benefit of having a few fruit trees, gardens and chickens to hedge against rise and fall of economic tides. Clams helped then, too.
On the west side of Flag Alley, we have lost two historic homes. Shipyard owner Henry Knox Halls mansion was destroyed by fire in 1935 when it was owned by the Dare family. It burned to the ground, yet its award-winning rhododendrons and deciduous trees planted by renown local horticulturist Will Cave still stand south and east of the museum. The beautiful home of Hall Brothers Shipyards secretary, Edward Hall Lincoln (a cousin of President Abraham Lincoln), and his wife, Jenny (Elofsen), was demolished in recent years with nary a whimper replaced by townhouses. Before making their home in Winslow, the Lincolns resided in a Port Blakely shipyard home at the east end of todays Seaborn Road. Father Vincent Gowan of Saint Barnabas Church and his wife lived there for many years.
The museum has an old photo of Flag Alley and Ericksen Avenue back in the day. There are more flag poles than trees. Today, by comparison, the alley is lush with trees a beautiful lane, a favorite of pedestrians and tourists on foot.
The lower avenue, with the seven contiguous historic buildings, was identified in 1987 by state historic preservation officers as an eligible National Historic District. Property owners celebrated with historic markers. City planners and developers gave it a stroll, made it a special Overlay District and saved Shipyard Row from road-widening bulldozers. Trees were saved, too, and the sidewalk was carefully put on the west side of the street. Much of old Winslow is still standing. Islanders can get a copy of the 1909 Kitsap County plat map of Winslow at the Bainbridge Island Museum and use it to walk the streets, noting the in-filling that has taken place and marveling at the old buildings still standing. The old buildings include Eagle Harbor Congregational Church, and houses that once belonged to Harry Wallace, Captain Jensen, Captain Wyatt, Billy Grow, Ebenezar Frank, William Finch, Chris Ericksen, and even the cozy home of the towns first school teacher. How about staging an Historic Home Tour during an August full moon featuring kerosene lantern light and acoustic music to share a sense of this place?
Maybe we should rename Ericksen Avenue Ericksen Lane, and, while were at it, Highway 305 Island Parkway. Then we might slow down and appreciate the natural beauty and history that surrounds us. And until someone figures out a way to put in a good roundabout at the misaligned intersection of Bjune and Ericksen after Winslow Ways needed repairs lets enjoy this special lane and thank the people who helped make it so. There have been many.

The issue of 'killer robots' one day posing a threat to humans has been discussed at the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
The discussion took place on 21 January during a panel organised by the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots (CSKR) and Time magazine, which asked the question: "What if robots go to war?"
Participants in the discussion included former UN disarmament chief Angela Kane, BAE Systems chair Sir Roger Carr, artificial intelligence (AI) expert Stuart Russell and robot ethics expert Alan Winfield.
Despite coming from very different sectors, the participants agreed on one thing during their hour-long discussion - autonomous weapons (or 'killer robots') pose dangers to humans, and swift diplomatic action is needed to stop their development.
The panelists were quick to distinguish an autonomous weapon from something like a drone, which is unmanned but ultimately controlled by a human.
Autonomous weapons, which are currently being developed by the US, UK, China, Israel, South Korea and Russia, will be capable of identifying targets, adjusting their behaviour in response to that target, and ultimately firing - all without human intervention.
Sir Carr, the weapons industry representative, said weapons like this would be "devoid of responsibility" and would have "no emotion or sense of mercy."

"If you remove ethics and judgement and morality from human endeavour whether it is in peace or war, you will take humanity to another level which is beyond our comprehension," he said.
The discussion came after more than 3,000 experts from the worlds of science and robotics signed an open letter calling for a ban on 'killer robots'.
Famed physicist Stephen Hawking and technologist Elon Musk were among the signatories to the letter, which was authored by the CSKR.
Currently, the CSKR is lobbying to get the issue of autonomous weapons on the table of the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, which has previously banned the use of weapons like landmines, booby traps and blinding laser weapons in warfare.
Taking the issue to Davos, where around 2,500 of the world's top business leaders, politicians and intellectuals meet every year, should help their campaign gain more traction among the world's decision makers.
It's not yet possible to build truly 'intelligent' autonomous robots, so the weaponisation of them is still far away. However, some nations already use semi-robotic weapons in their militaries.
South Korea has a network of automatic sentry guns along the border with North Korea, which use cameras and heat sensors to detect and track humans all by themselves. However, they still need a human to tell them to fire.

Reviews for Dynamite Mach 2 .19T 5 Port Traxxas Vehicles Replacement Engine [DYN0700]

Dynamite Mach 2 .19T 5 Port Traxxas Vehicles Replacement Engine
Ok, after running a gallon through engine, i have run into a serious problem which has dissapointed me alot. The bearings are garbage! The rear bearing tore itself apart and destroyed half my engine and the front bearing leaks like crazy. I never encountered an airleak due to the front bearing but i'm pretty sure if the rear bearing hadn't died and i kept on running the engine, it would have happened. At the end of the day, i had to spend 100 bucks to replace both bearings with better ones, (ceramic bearings are recommened) the piston, sleeve, and underhead. Thanks Dynamite. But, apart from that problem, this engine is fantastic. Once the engine hits the first gallon it runs like a champ. It's got power, speed, economy, rock-solid reliablity and it's a piece of cake to tune. If you get this engine, replace the bearings with ceramic ones before you start it for the first time. It might be a little bit expensive but you'll thank yourself because you'll have so much fun with this engine for a long time. Bearing dimmensions - Front: 7*19*6 mm Rear: 10*19*5 mm

Very nice engine for the price. Bought this once my 3.3 went bad. Doesn't have as much top end as the 3.3 but only by a little. Great bottom end. Lots of torque. I wouldn't recommend it in a tmaxx or a revo, but for a jato or rustler anything small its great.
