When it comes to entertaining, interior designer Lars Bolander and Nadine Kalachnikoff take an informal approach. That often means having dinner at the kitchen table—they don't have a dining room at their West Palm Beach abode—with a full view of the open butler's pantry. It just adds to the fun. They particularly enjoy Asian-inspired dinners, which might include this Thai vermicelli salad with shrimp and fresh herbs—simple, clean and healthy.
The recipe is featured in Palm Beach Entertaining, a beautiful coffee table book released in September by Rizzoli. All proceeds from book sales benefit the Children's Home Society of Florida.
Thai Vermicelli Salad with Shrimp and Fresh Herbs
You can also use chicken or tofu in place of the shrimp for equally delicious results.
Serves 6
- 5 ounces vermicelli noodles
- 2 tbs. fish sauce
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tbs. sugar
- 1 tbs. minced fresh ginger
- ½ cup grapeseed oil
- 1 cup julienned mixed herbs, such as basil, Thai basil, cilantro, and mint
- 1½ pounds cooked medium shrimp (about 4 per serving)
- ½ cup canola oil, plus more for frying
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 medium shallots, sliced into rounds
Prepare noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, pat dry, and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, ginger, and grapeseed oil; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add herbs and toss in the vermicelli and shrimp.
In a medium skillet, heat ½ inch of oil over medium-high heat. Place the flour in a shallow bowl, dust the shallots with flour, and, working in batches, fry the shallots until golden brown. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
To serve, toss the salad well and top with the fried shallots.

Idaho Rush U17 Boys Shine In January College Showcase
Making their first appearance at the Winter College Showcase outside of Portland, the Idaho Rush U17 boys along with Head Coach Lee Riley recorded a perfect record winning all four games against top Oregon/Washington teams. Of the 32 teams competing, Idaho placed second in points finishing only behind Seattle United.
Registering a 9-1 goals for/ goals against ratio, the U17's recorded three shutouts and scored multiple goals in each contest. Playing in front of college coaches from as far away as Minnesota, all players had standout moments and many received attention from those coaches attending.
Muga Katanga led the team in scoring over the weekend, recording three goals. Others getting in on the action were Sam Rucklos, Luke Murdock, Damien Bautista and Dante Pennell. Kamden Hundersmarck gave up only one goal over four games, assisted by a stingy back line that helped keep opposing teams at bay.
The U17's next embark on league play in March with the goal of winning the Idaho State Cup for their division and moving on to the Far West Regional Championships to be played in Boise in late June.

Intel Corp. will disclose details regarding its Intel Xeon processor with eight cores at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) that will be held in San Francisco, California, from the 8th to the 12th of February, 2009. This will be the first time that Intel will discuss its eight-core chips in detail and it is also likely that the company will unveil its approximate time of availability.
According to the official description of the session where Intel plans to announce details regarding the new processor, the 8-core 16-thread enterprise Intel Xeon processor based on code-named Nehalem micro-architecture has 2.3 billion transistors and is made using 45nm process technology. The chip that is known under Beckton code-name will have four point-to-point quick path interconnect links to connect to other processors as well as system I/O operating at up to 6.4GT/s. Like all Nehalem-class chips, this processor for expandable systems will feature built-in memory controller, which will have four channels. The processor will require a new platform with LGA-1567 sockets.
It is interesting to note that currently available code-named Bloomfield (Intel Core i7) processor features 731 million transistors, yet it has four cores, 1MB of L2 cache (256KB per core) as well as unified 8MB L3 cache. Considering the fact that the enterprise-class eight-core Intel Xeon chips have three times more transistors, it is highly likely that their cache sizes will be dramatically larger - some sources point to 24MB - and certain additional performance enhancements may be implemented.
When Intel showcased its code-named Nehalem microprocessor at Intel Developer Forum Fall 2007, the company indicated plans to ship its eight-core Xeon microprocessors in 2008.
"At the largest configuration that we'll ship in 2008, they'll be an eight-core product. Eight core on one die, and each core will have two threads. So, each eight-core die will be supporting 16 threads," said Paul Otellini, chief executive officer and president of Intel Corp., at that time.
Recent confidential documents by Intel seen by X-bit labs did not contain any mentions of the octa-core chips designed for expandable enterprise-class systems due in 2009. Moreover, Intel also did not have plans to update the existing Intel Xeon 7400-series family of processors with four or six processing engines this year.

The leading cause of disability in the United States is chronic pain, most of it attributable to spine technology. Other causes include fibromyalgia, intractable headaches of various sorts, and a variety of neuropathic pain states including sympathetic dystrophy. Cognitive and behavioral factors typically contribute to the disability and suffering that these patients experience. Restoration of function and quality of life require an interdisciplinary approach with such components as biofeedback, pyschotherapy, pharmacotherapy and reconditioning physical therapy. Students will participate in evaluation and treatment of these patients.
Evaluation forms are given to staff members to whom the student is assigned. A report will be give to Deans and Phase Coordinators on request.

Exercise program aims to keep kids healthy
HANCOCK – A group of 10 children seemed to be having a good time Thursday chasing each other trying to grab colored cloths from each other's belts, but the game of Dragon's Tail was actually a way to get the children exercising.
Taylor Murray, facilitator for BHK Child Development Board's Great Explorations after-school program at Gordon G. Barkell Elementary School in Hancock, said besides running around, the children who lose their tails, have to do even more exercising.
"If their tail gets taken, they have to do five push-ups or five sit-ups," she said.
The Barkell students she was overseeing were taking part in a program called Coordinated Approach to Child Health in the U.P., or CATCH.
At Barkell, Murray said children in K-5 take part in the program on Tuesday and Thursday.
"We try to get them to do 60 minutes of activity a day," she said.
Whatever activities the children do, Murray said they involve constant movement. They have to be fun, also.
"They're fun activities (the children) want to do," she said.
There is a nutritional component to the program, also, Murray said. She uses what she calls a Whoa, Go and Flow approach. The "Whoa" foods are low in nutrition and should be eaten as little as possible, the "Go" foods are OK, but not the best, and the "Flow" foods have the most nutrition, such as fruits and vegetables.
The CATCH program is coordinated by the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department, and Sara Salo, health education coordinator with the health department, said the program is funded with a federal Rural Outreach Grant through 2015, and the health department is taking the lead with presenting it.
"We are coordinating school health
efforts for local schools," she said.
The local CATCH program, working with kindergarten through fifth grade students, began soon after the start of the new school year, Salo said. Currently, it is being operated by the BHK Child Development Board's Great Explorations after-school program. There are six schools in the Copper Country Intermediate School District and one in the Gogebic Intermediate School District, involved. There are plans to expand the program, however.
"By the end of the grant, we'll be in 10 schools," she said. "It's sort of a rolling implementation."
Planning for taking the CATCH program into more schools next school year has begun, Salo said.
Salo said CATCH was created using research data about what things work to increase the amount of exercise children get and for improving their nutrition.
"It's a comprehensive health plan that involves an evidence-based classroom curriculum," she said. "It's been proven effective in improving student health outcomes."
The CATCH program involves working with school wellness committees, if any exist, and with improving the general health of the school building by working to reduce the number of vending machines offering soft drinks and unhealthy snacks.
Salo said the CATCH program provides schools with physical activities kits, which contain such things as balls, jump ropes and hoops, among other things.
"The non-competitive activities are designed to keep kids moving and having fun," she said.
When the program is expanded next school year, Salo said it will be used during the school day, and based on the experience of the after-school program, teachers are enthusiastic about its implementation. The teachers she's working with for CATCH are pleased with the method, particularly because it's easy to use and children respond well to it.
"They think it's a great program," she said. "It's been very successful so far."

OKLAHOMA CITY — During a week in which several ranked teams kicked off conference play, the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 Poll saw a major shakeup the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced today. Top-ranked Oklahoma (22-1), furthered their hold of the No. 1 spot, receiving 18 first-place votes while Arizona State (25-1) staked their claim with two. This marks the first time this season that the Sun Devils have garnered first-place votes.
Bouncing back from their first loss of the season, No. 1 Oklahoma dominated the weekend, capturing four run-rule victories and outscoring opponents 47-2. The Sooners topped Northern Colorado 14-0 (five innings) and 10-0 (five innings) and Drake University 10-2 (six innings) and 13-0 (five innings) to preserve the top ranking in the poll. Following a 4-0 performance at their Diamond Devil Invitational, Arizona State moved up one spot in the poll to No. 2. The Sun Devils topped Pittsburgh 10-0 (five innings) and 8-2 and UC Davis 12-3 (five innings) before closing the weekend with a 6-0 win over New Mexico State. The Florida Gators (25-2, 2-1 SEC) moved up one spot to No. 3 this week, despite suffering a loss to unranked Auburn. The Gators started the week with an 8-4 win over then-No. 2 Alabama before opening Southeastern Conference (SEC) play with two wins (13-0 and 2-0) over Auburn and dropping a 5-4 decision to the Tigers.
Also moving up in the ranks this week is No. 4 California (20-2), while No. 5 Texas A&M (23-2, 1-1 SEC) continues to hold their place in the poll. Alabama (23-3, 1-2 SEC) dropped to No. 6 following a week of action in which the Crimson Tide suffered three consecutive losses. The Crimson Tide were dealt their first loss of the season by Florida, and then suffered back-to-back losses against then-No. 10 Tennessee (4-3 and 2-1). Alabama bounced back with a 7-1 win to close the three-game series with a 1-2 SEC record. With the wins, Tennessee (21-4, 2-1 SEC) jumped three spots to No. 7. Rounding out the Top 10 are No. 8 Missouri (10-2, 1-1 SEC), No. 9 Oregon (21-4) and No. 10 Texas (23-3).
No. 11 Louisville (20-3) continues their rise in the Top 25, jumping two spots from last week's poll. The Cardinals, host of the Red & Black Tournament in Louisville, Ky., were a perfect 4-0 on the weekend, collecting a 5-4 win over No. 14 Michigan (17-6), a 9-1 (six inning) win over Miami (Ohio) and a five-inning, 12-0 run-rule over Austin Peay before capping off the weekend with a 9-3 defeat of Illinois State. Also collecting their highest ranking of the season are this week's No. 15 Baylor (22-3) and No.T21 Virginia Tech (15-2) and No. T21 Nebraska (16-5. The Bears swept their three-game series against Purdue and Nebraska nabbed two wins over Wichita State while the Hokies collected a 3-1 record at the Long Beach State Invitational in Lakewood, Calif., including a 2-1 win over then-No. 9 UCLA (22-4). Louisiana-Lafayette (16-9, 1-2 Sun Belt) suffered the biggest drop this week, slipping eight spots to No. 25 following a 1-4 week of play.
The Top 25 teams remained the same this week, with the SEC and Pac-12 represented by seven teams apiece, with the SEC leading with five Top 10 teams. The Big 12 has three teams in the Top 25, while the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and Big 10 have two teams each. Not to be forgotten are the Big East, Big West, Conference USA and Sun Belt Conference, who are represented by one team each in the Top 25.
The ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 Poll is voted on by coaching representatives from 11 Division I Conferences in the 15 ASA/USA Softball Regions as well as members of National and Local media who consistently cover Division I Softball across the country.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (79 votes).
In short: Fantastic!In full: An uncrowded straight-ish trail winding down from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne. On a trail path so some loose stones in places. Open public access, so a few cyclists also. Well organised, base at Ashbourne for bag storage etc. regular water stations at roughly 3 miles apart. Great finishers medal. Good value for money. Stunning countryside! Also great PB potential too! Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: A great race!In full: Love this race, overall downhill (although it doesn't always feel like it!).Path is a bit narrow in places, but it's good.Will do it again :)Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: My favorite half marathon race!In full: This is my second time running this race. I was injured last year and was able to defer my place for this year. I ran on Sunday and the weather was perfect; the views amazing and the organisation is second to none. It takes runs like this to make you remember how much fun running can be. Being a gradual downhill route, you just know you will run a PB for a half marathon and it just allows you to enjoy all your hard work. I'll be back next year!Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: Great race. Great for a PB.Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: Fast and well organisedIn full: This was the second time I have run this smashing race.Its flat or downhill for all 13.1 miles. Its off road with lovely views of the Derbyshire countryside. On the Sunday we were blessed with a sunny day albeit with a little wind, but it was dry.Marshalls were great and we had water/sweets along the way. Its a smashing atmosphere with a fair number of not so serious runners. Its a good race to go for a PB though - I managed to knock 4 minutes off my previous best event.Communication and organisation is fantastic, cannot fault it in any way. I'm pleased to say I've already got my form in for 2015.Well done to everyone involved in this rather special event.Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: Good PB potential, lovely scenery. Coach to start, but finish not where we had left cars, so we're a bit stranded! Ok as sister had come to meet us. In full: Pre race communication excellent, re coaches etc. However, we left car at Ashbourne leisure centre, where coach picked us all from, and the finish was short drive away, and we had no instructions how to get back to leisure centre. No 13 mile marker, and finish very crowded, benches and people just past finish. Marshalls excellent and friendly, lovely after race recovery snacks, and en route goodies too. I thought there was mention of a goodie bag, but we did not receive one. Showers available afterwards which is always a bonus!Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: A wonderful day out in stunning scenery and a well organised, friendly race!Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: Brilliant first half. Friendly marshalls, welcoming runners, slight descent the whole wayIn full: My first half. I'm already looking to see what I can do next and planning next years entry. Highly recommended. Only thing missing was the spectators to cheer due to it all being off road, but the cheerful Marshalls encouragement made up for it. Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: PB almost guaranteedIn full: After a awful marathon attempt at the Robin Hood seven days earlier where I had to be helped over the line, I didn't expect a decent time. In fact I did a run and went to the pub the night before. But crikey, this is a fast course and I knocked 5m 26secs off of my HM PB, and managed under 1h30m. Already booked next years event (it's Monday after the Sunday race). Would have liked the results by chip time as I started towards the back and my placing is a bit out on the clock. Best HM yet.Date of review: October 6, 2014
In short: Flat, scenic and great for a PB!In full: I entered this race having seen the positive feedback in Runners World as it was voted in the top 10 trail races for 2013. I can certainly see why; it was great! Really good organisation, with regular email updates from the race director; beautiful Derbyshire countryside to admire that made the miles whizz by (I did the Sunday race and we had lovely sunshine with only a slight headwind to contend with); well stocked aid stations located at approximately 3 mile intervals and a slight downhill profile giving brilliant PB potential (I might be slightly biased as I nailed a PB taking 8 mins of my previous best!).Other really good points include the staggered start as it's very narrow and this prevented a stampede and the chip timing so you can get an accurate finish time for that all important PB!Only 2 things that were slight drawbacks: drinks at the aid stations were in plastic cups which makes it hard to drink on the run whilst maintaining a decent pace, bottles would certainly be easier and whilst the race is chip timed, the results were ordered by gun time. It should be easy enough to order the results by chip time as I lost over 8 places due to starting very near the back and working my way through the field during the race.These are only very minor things though and I'll definitely be back next year to try for another PB!Date of review: October 6, 2014

On many community college campuses, "corruption, cronyism, abuse of power, and fiefdom-building constitute business as usual," writes Rob Jenkins, a Georgia Perimeter College English professor. Feudalism and Soviet-style dictatorship are the most common governance models, he writes.
Facing the loss of accreditation for mismanagement, City College of San Francisco has proposed an improvement plan that includes spending less on enrichment classes and collecting $400,000 a year in unpaid tuition.

Okay, final answer RD on the left.My reasoning is that the RD has a lower falling number. Cheaper flours tend to be made from inferior wheat that wasn't harvested as conscientiously and thus has moved further along the sprouting process and has higher enzyme activity. This would explain the tighter appearance before and the slacker appearance now- the higher enzyme activity is driving faster fermentation.
Paolo,Can you describe the characteristics of the bulk dough before you ball it? For example, is it light and airy or firm to the touch, etc. Can you estimate the volume of expansion?Thanks.Peter
If my theory about enzyme activity is correct, the RD balls should bake up with a slightly more knobby/toothy appearance.
Is it the breakdown of the gluten matrix, or maybe overfermentation of the dough, or maybe something else?
You may consider reballing one or two of the RD balls.
Chau,Are you worried that the RD dough balls will not make it out to another 24 hours of room temperature fermentation without re-balling? If so, would that also apply to the Caputo dough balls?Peter

Hostess Brands to Shut Down: Hot Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Hostess Brands as the maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs said it is closing for good.
Hostess said Friday that it is asking a federal bankruptcy court for permission to shut down operations. The company is making this move on the heels of an employee strike on Nov. 9, when pay cuts were enforced.
On Thursday, the company gave its employees a 5 p.m. deadline to return to work -- or it would be forced to go into liquidation. CEO Gregory Rayburn said in a statement that the company does "not have the financial resources to weather an extended national strike." The closing will result in the loss of over 18,000 jobs.
Hostess will attempt to sell its assets to the highest bidder, which means Hostess products may not be gone forever if other companies decide to purchase them and offer them among their product lines.
Reckitt Benckiser is trending as the British consumer products group has offered $1.4 billion to purchase Schiff Nutrition International (SHF) , topping the offer previously made by Bayer.
Reckitt said it would offer $42 per Schiff share, handily beating Bayer's $1.2 billion, or $34 per share, offer that was made on Oct. 30. Schiff's main shareholders already agreed to the lower-priced buyout bid from Bayer.
The two companies are competing for Schiff's fast-growing and steadily profitable vitamins and nutritional supplements business.
Now, all eyes will be on Bayer to see if it responds with a counterbid, or if the action could potentially attract more potential suitors. According to its deal with Bayer, Schiff may entertain higher offers made in writing prior to Nov. 28. However, if Schiff goes with Reckitt or any other offer, it would have to pay a $22 million breakup fee to Bayer.
Schiff's top-selling brands include MegaRed for heart care, Airborne for preventing colds and Move Free for joints.
TNT Express is another popular search. The Dutch delivery group has agreed to sell its airline operations to ASL Aviation Group in an effort to protect its deal with United Parcel Service (UPS) .
UPS has proposed a €5.16 billion ($6.58 billion) takeover of TNT. In a statement on Friday, TNT said the sale of its airline business is conditional and dependent on the completion of the deal with UPS.
UPS has pushed back the completion date of the deal twice since it was announced on March 19, citing the regulatory review process.
If TNT goes ahead with the sale of its airline business, it will sell TNT Airways and Pan Air Lineas Areas SA in completion to ASL.
As part of its merger agreement, UPS has agreed to pay a fee of €200 million to TNT if it backs out of the deal.

Communication and Perception
When at sea, Mirounga leonina rarely encounter each other and thus have no need for communication. The only time communication is used is during breeding. Males use their large proboscis as a sound chamber for amplifying their bellows. These sounds are made to establish territories and challenge males for established harems. Upright posturing often accompanies these vocalizations and males are known to visually assess their competitor before fighting. Lesser males will also exhibit a flattened posture without inflating their proboscis when near another male's harem to demonstrate that they are not threats.
A threat vocalization is a low-pitched harsh vocalization. While the seal is doing this it will raise its head and forequarters off of the ground, supporting itself without fore flippers. A lunge from an animal is a rapid movement of the head towards an opponent or invader. This is done with an open mouth. A high rear is the raising of the front half of the body then delivering blows to another animal with the neck or chin. A bite may also be used, mainly from a low rear or a high rear position.
Females are known to communicate with newborn pups through vocalizations. Females and pups recognize each other through these vocal cues and through their individual smells. ("Elephant Seal", 2002; "Elephant Seals", 1983; "Southern Elephant Seal", 2003; Anderson, 2003; Gaskin, 1972; Nowak, 2003)

Davie, Elspeth
Elspeth Davie 1919–-1995
(Born Elspeth Dryer) Scottish short story writer, novelist, and memoirist.
In her short fiction, Davie strived to expose the inner workings and undertones of daily experience. She employed an idiosyncratic prose style, converging realism, impressionism, and a symbolist surrealism. Her stories depict a world of obsessions, outsiders, identity, and objects, all within the traditional forms of realism.
Biographical Information
Davie was born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland on March 20, 1919, the daughter of a Scottish minister and Canadian mother. Davie spent a portion of her childhood in England and returned to Scotland where she attended Edinburgh University and Art College. Davie did not, however, take a full degree, but qualified as a teacher and taught art in both Scotland and Northern Ireland. She lived in Belfast with her husband, philosopher George Elder Davie, who taught at Queen's College, from 1945 to 1969. Davie began her professional writing career by publishing stories in literary journals such as the Transatlantic Review and London Magazine. Davie was honored in 1978 with the Katherine Mansfield Prize for her short story "The High Tide Talker." She died on November 14, 1995.
Major Works of Short Fiction
Davie's first volume of short stories, The Spark and Other Stories (1968), is populated by characters who are insular and neurotic. Davie used these individuals to explore the notion of epiphany, which in her fiction takes the form of a fateful accident or an interaction with another character. Yet, typically Davie's characters do not undergo any lasting transformation. In "Family House," from The Spark, Davie manifested her preoccupation with odd characters and the use of interiors. Here, fate takes the form of an accident when a family member, Edith, is hit by a mantel clock while in the attic. Edith is bedridden and the family discovers dry rot under the attic floor which forces them to move out of the home. Davie often used children as "spark characters": individuals who through imagination may reach the genuine nature of others, thereby affecting an epiphany. Much of Davie's work includes realistic and detailed descriptions of nature and interior settings, both in terms of character and place. Davie's reliance on color was a consequence of her familiarity with painting, and her skill at observation is evident in all of Davie's stories, turning symbolic in later collections. In Davie's second volume of short fiction, The High Tide Talker and Other Stories (1976), themes of truth and meaning are quite pronounced. Most of the characters in the collection's stories seek some metaphysical actuality, and the volume contains Davie's favored motifs of object-obsession and the associated character identity-formation. Davie's The Night of the Funny Hats and Other Stories (1980) portrays a fractured society and is more symbolic than past collections. In this volume she used varying techniques like direct and indirect speech, narrative within narrative, and oral storytelling styles. A Traveller's Room (1985) is pessimistic in nature and addresses themes of aging and death, as well as the common Davie themes of traveling and order. With Death of a Doctor and Other Stories (1992) Davie magnified the moral direction of her fiction, resulting in stories that read as modern folk parables. Here Davie combined her interest in reality and the fantastic, creating multifarious tales that illustrate the pursuit for meaning and identity in a fractured world. The Man Who Wanted to Smell Books and Other Stories, a collection of selected short stories by Davie, was published in 2001, and Alex Clark in the Times Literary Supplement termed the volume "elegant and intelligent."
Critical Reception
Critical reaction to The Spark was mixed. Commentators noted Davie's use of odd, forlorn characters who often exhibit an obsessive fondness for objects and struggle with reality. As Davie became more familiar to critics and the public, the response to her work grew more positive, as evidenced by the reprintings of The Spark and her first two novels in both England and America. Much of the critical evaluation of A Traveller's Room was favorable, but reviewers disliked Death of a Doctor. They viewed the volume's dogged moralism as a weakness and remarked that the collection more resembled modern folk parables than short stories. Seen by some as self-consciously ambiguous, abstract, and moralistic, Davie's prose is more often lauded for its thematic unity and spare, tightly controlled phrasing.

SOURCE: "Brand Loyalties." Times Literary Supplement, no. 3494 (13 February 1969): 151.
[In the following review of The Spark, the critic praises Davie for her ability to create a sinister, macabre atmosphere in her stories, but criticizes her for failing to produce strongly defined characters.]
Miss Elspeth Davie is expert at picking the sinister out of the ordinary and at heightening normal situations into something obsessive or macabre. One of the best stories in this collection [The Spark], "The Siege", begins with a new widow sensibly determining that just because her husband has died she isn't going to halve the intake of her household supplies. After all, the bargains come in the big packets. As shopping gradually takes over her life we watch the stores filling her flat till, notwithstanding a brief sally as a glum advertisement lady for a new breakfast biscuit of which she has bought a record number, we leave her, absolutely alone with her eerie hoards of food and polishes.
Where Miss Davie sticks to a single theme like this she is a compelling writer and she is particularly good on lonely people, isolated by their own peculiarities. She is less successful when she has to differentiate between a number of characters. Sometimes this fault is not crucial—as in "Family House", where there is a unifying force in the house which dominates all its inhabitants. But one feels that the picture of the two young men in the story about the photograph shop ought to be clearer and the girl who is obsessed by maps needs more than a few superficial contours herself.

[In the following review, Price offers high praise for The Spark, calling it a brilliant volume of fiction.]
The Spark is so intelligent, many-sided and, I'm afraid, brilliantly written that my lack of response makes me feel guilty, almost gauche. Somehow its great merits mean only that the kind of thing which people have been doing for a generation or more is done better than ever. Funny, disquieting and showing every sign of hard work, it sparkles but doesn't linger in the mind. What it lacks is what Lawrence had, thirst for life and the courage to keep the vivid...

[In the following review, Bailey faults the stories collected in The Spark for containing poor dialogue and characterization, as well as lack of variety.]
The Spark and Other Stories is very much a bloom from the literary hot-house. Mrs Davie is a gifted writer—she can 'place' a landscape, an eerie house, a seaside hotel with enviable accuracy.
It's her people—particularly the way they speak—that worry me. When they open their unidentified mouths, it's usually to utter dialogue of the kind that is only heard in experimental...

[In the following review of The High Tide Talker, Barnes derides Davie for creating weak characters in her stories.]
Elspeth Davie's The High Tide Talker is more concerned with eccentricity. Here the short story form is used, not as a focus on familiar details of personality, but as an excuse for contorting situations and pressing them into strange new shapes. As a result her characters are affected and unlikely but also oddly predictable. Often they are promising as ideas, like the landlady whose lodger is averse to eggs, or the irate mother of...

[In the following review, Shrimpton considers The Night of the Funny Hats a disappointing collection of stories.]
Elspeth Davie won the Katherine Mansfield Prize in 1978 for her story 'The High Tide Talker'. Seen in that perspective her new collection, The Night of the Funny Hats is, frankly, disappointing. At times her painterly sense of landscape strengthens the character sketches and small parables in which she specialises. Only one story, however, really stands out and that is 'The Foothold', an eerie tale set in a shoe shop which...

The Night of the Funny Hats is by Elspeth Davie, winner of the Katherine Mansfield Prize. These new stories have cunning, charm, comedy and beauty. Perhaps the best is the title story, which is also the longest and describes the moods and attitudes of a group of passengers on a coach journey from Perth to Adelaide along a route that is one of the longest and loneliest stretches of the...

An air of ominous expectancy permeates these 15 short stories [The Night of the Funny Hats] by Scottish writer Davie, her third collection. Through all of them there is a deep, sometimes desperate sense of loneliness and alienation, a grasping after the mystery of existence. The characters represent abstract forces.

A Traveller's Room is Elspeth Davie's fourth collection of short stories, gathering together work published mainly in 1982-4.

This [A Traveller's Room] is Elspeth Davie's fourth collection of short stories and surpasses her previous work—excellent as that was—in skill and poise. She is a writer who uses traditional narrative methods but extends the range of short fiction with the sheer scale of her imagination. There are nineteen stories here, and each one is a gem.

[The] title story of Edinburgh writer Elspeth Davie's fourth collection, A Traveller's Room, concerns a teenage girl staying with her parents in a guest-house in a Perth of years ago. She is given the room of the absent 'traveller'. She invents for him a life of drama, adventure and discovery.

Many of Elspeth Davie's settings, in A Traveller's Room, are Scottish, and she shares with Dunn a liking for isolating the extraordinary within the ordinary. But stylistically she tends to be more elaborately formal, indeed 'poetic.'
This works best in such pieces as the title-story, in which a young girl on holiday with her family in a Perth boarding-house has romantic...

These brief, laconic tales [in A Traveler's Room] reveal how extraordinary the commonplace can be, what profundities lie beneath the surface. In direct, clean prose, the author, delineating not her characters but the events that shape them, shows us in "A Botanist's Romance" a horticulturist so obsessed with Hamlet's Ophelia that he flees upon mention of a woman with the...

This collection of 19 short stories [A Traveller's Room] by a British writer is marked by Davie's use of everyday objects—light bulbs, flowers, a postage stamp—as symbols for the fragility and uncertainties of life. At their best, as in the title story or in "Bones and Bouquets," the symbols reveal an insight into character. At times, however,...

Elspeth Davie's native Edinburgh has furnished much of the background of her fiction since her first novel, Providings (1965), and there seems to be a sense in which the divided personality of the city has shaped her imagination. In her last novel, Coming to Light (1989), it figured prominently enough to overshadow the less memorable characters; and in her fifth collection of stories, Death of a Doctor, it inspires a telling image for a conflict...

[In the following essay, Poggi discusses a cardinal theme of Davie's fiction, as defined by Poggi: "the primacy of space and vision in the perception of reality."]

Oregon State always seems to upset someone highly ranked every year. This year Cal. Last year USC. Three years ago they nearly upset LSU but their kicker choked and missed three extra points.
This is looking like a 1 loss year. The Buckeyes are still an unknown until the Penn St. road game. If they get through that one, I feel like they are legit. What is humorous is that the word was LSU, Oklahoma and USC were way above everyone else, and all three were beaten rather early.
Tedford must have lost his mind. Down 10 with under six minutes left and he punts. He must have picked Oregon State in his parlay card.
Cal needs two scores in 3 minutes. Say hello to the new #1 team, you love 'em or you hate em, tOSU Buckeyes
Even if Cal comes back I am guessing Ohio State will still be number one, and I have to say it is really surprising how little time it took for them to leapfrog ten teams to get to number one. This has been a crazy year.
Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.

This is the second cycleglide I have purchased. When we sold our first home the new owners wanted it left and paid us to leave it installed. It holds a variety of bikes; even my recumbant trike fits on it. You do need some strength and height to life the bikes up, but once there they move and are easy to stow. Works like a champ!

When comedy and jazz particles collide
January 18, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: art music, bear witness, Diversions, improvisation, international phenomenon, jazz critics, listmania, mainstream, national treasure, new year, pianist, rages, Video, www youtube
And Now for Something Completely Different ...
Since we're headlong into the New Year, and the 2007 listmania has ended - Best Of, Top Ten, Bottom Eleven etc. - permit me to right an historic wrong among jazz critics. Since I'm not one of them.
There's no debating that jazz has become an international phenomenon. However, the stale argument about who's moving the music forward still rages. While Americans can clearly take ownership of our national treasure, it's foreign-born artists like the Austrian pianist, Hans Groiner, who are finding ways to bring improvisation and art music back into the mainstream. Without any further discussion, bear witness to the Most Overlooked Artist, two years running:

Dear All,
Slovenians write the loop at the bottom of the downstroke on cursive ''q''
(a foreign letter) clockwise (i.e., left and up, making a small knot),
instead of the general American pattern of counter-clockwise (i.e., right
and up, making a largish loop). To the American eye the result looks like a
strange ''g''.
A student of mine is doing research on cursive handwriting practice in
Europe and elsewhere. We would be grateful if users of other languages in
Europe could tell us how the loop of cursive ''q'' is written in the
handwriting taught in their schools (.jpgs or .gifs welcome). If enough
responses are received a summary will be posted.

K-Edge Chain Catchers ETA: 'Bout a week
To quote our Georgia outside sales rep, Morgan Fluhrer: Campagnolo = Stage Win… SRAM Red = Dropped Chain. Oof, you gotta feel for poor Andy Schleck. What a time for a mechanical which in turn forced him to risk life and limb on a somewhat precarious descent as he made a futile attempt to catch the Contador group. Perhaps if he had invested in the K-Edge chain catcher, he would still be in yellow, instead of the white "Best-est young Webelo riders" jersey, seething with rage like a young Annakin Skywaker right before he massacred all those Tusken Raiders after his mother died. Ugh, Tusken Raiders. Why does everything in life come back to them, but I digress. Now poor, emaciated, brotherless Andy Schleck will be forced to attack on Thursday's stage since his time trialing prowess isn't as good as Contador's. What does this mean? Well, judging by his previous mechanical history, catastrophic stem and handlebar failure on the first descent followed by some sort of chain and seatstay disintegration on the Col Du Tormalet, capped off by a drunken, nude Tusken Raider dance party in the Saxo Bank bus. They always nude-boogie-dance in single file, to hide their numbers. K-Edge purchaser Patrick's fruit bat ears have perked up at the mention of nude Tusken Raider dance parties, so as diversion, here are some of the chain keepers that shall be here in the warehouse next week.
And, the single ring cyclocross version….
These come in Braze on and clamp flavors for both road and cyclocross options. Works with Sram, Shimano and Campagnolo. CHAN8402, CHAN8452 and CHAN8456 for those of you following along in your online catlog. Super-Fresh! These are machined and anodized in Idaho which is weird because nothing good has ever come out of Idaho, except Built To Spill, and they haven't put out a decent record since their split EP with Caustic Resin over a decade ago! Huzzah!

Around these parts, there's nothing we love better than a good bag collection. (Ok, maybe we love a good sale more, but most of the sales are over for the season, so there's no use crying about it, ok?) The psychological nature of collection is such that people who are moved to amass giant assortments of things usually pick something very particular on which to fixate, and in the case of Pamella DeVos, that lust object is the iconic Fendi Baguette.
T, the New York Times style magazine, recently profiled DeVos (who designs her own line under the name Pamella Roland) and gave us all an inside look at her assortment of 75 Fendi Baguettes. She says that the obsession started because her New York boutique is situated near Fendi's own flagship, and apparently things spiraled from there. You can check out the full interview and all the photos (taken by America's Next Top Model's own ex-noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker) at T, check out our favorite photos from the shoot after the jump or shop Fendi bags via Neiman Marcus.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (13 votes).
In short: Great race along the ThamesDate of review: January 4, 2013
In short: First time 10k - loved it!!!Date of review: December 14, 2012
In short: Great locationIn full: It was a nice touch having bananas before the race however there are a few things that could have been better. There was a real lack of toilets and the pubs facilities couldnt cope. Some portaloos would be good next year. Also the first section of the race is quite tight so its tricky to over take. Perhaps starting the race on a different part of the course would help with this, and the toilet situation. There wasn't any water at the end of the race (that I could find). Not sure if this was in the goody bags that were stolen along side the medals though.Lovely area though and feel sorry for the organisers having things stolen prior to the race. Date of review: December 11, 2012
In short: A friendly and well organised race In full: A friendly and well organised race which was ran along a very pleasant route. Would definitely recommend and do it again. Date of review: December 11, 2012
In short: Nice and flat along the Thames, beautiful way to spend 40 minutesIn full: Lovely little looping flat course along the Thames. Well organised, nice to start and end at the pub, very social and friendly. Shame that the medals got stolen, they looked really good, would have been a nice addition to the collection, they really are some scumbags aroundDate of review: December 11, 2012
In short: The race is just about the Thames and the scenery is very niceDate of review: December 10, 2012
In short: Lovely picturesque 10kDate of review: December 9, 2012
In short: Friendly and FastIn full: A very well organised first time event. Apart from the slightly congested start, I have no complaints at all. It was a scenic and fast rote, and enjoyed the mud! Was also a nice touch that race times and positions were communicated at the end of the race.Will definitely be back in 2012. Date of review: October 31, 2011
In short: Fantastic run on a well loved route. In full: The organisation was fantastic and atmosphere great. Am looking forward to next yearDate of review: October 31, 2011

Library Celebrates the Past, Lays Foundation for the Future
New Canaan Library is excited to mark its 135 years of service to the residents of New Canaan. Started in a store front on Elm Street with $70 and a small collection of books, the Library has grown to its current location at the corner of Main and Cherry streets, where it connects with hundreds of patrons each day.
On Tuesday, December 13, 2011, the Board of Trustees of the Library passed a resolution to stay on its existing site and move forward with plans to build a library that meets the needs of its patrons now and into the future. "The Board of Trustees of New Canaan Library made the unanimous decision after years of thoughtful and careful consideration of our patrons' values and needs, that our future is linked to our heritage. Staying where we are is the best decision. We are committed to an efficient and effective intellectual center and look forward to a building project that every New Canaan resident will be proud to support," stated Board of Trustees President Laura G. Einstein.
First Selectman Rob Mallozzi echoed Einstein. "The Library is a significant part of the fabric of this wonderful Town and we are grateful for their input during the Long
Range Planning study. We are thrilled that they have decided to both plan for their future and respect their roots by staying at the same location they have been in for 99 years."
At the same meeting, the Board unanimously adopted a Request for Qualifications for an Architectural Firm.Elizabeth Ellsworth, Vice President of the Board and Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee explained, "We will work with our architects to determine the best and most pragmatic way to create a new facility that meets the needs of our patrons and corrects the facility's shortfalls identified over the past few years of study—the need for more flexible and efficient space, improving our technology services to meet patron demand, accommodating the learning skills embraced by our excellent schools, including collaborative work environments for students, updating necessary aspects of our aging infrastructure and ensuring more and safer parking."
Alice Knapp, Executive Director of New Canaan Library, expressed her excitement over the results. "This is a strong board with both vision and fiscal acumen. Every step of the way, the patron has been our priority and the Board has considered all the input they received from surveys, meetings, and focus groups in making the decision to move us forward on the same site. I know that the emphasis will remain on the patron and that any plans will strive for minimal disruption on the community during any construction, but ultimately provide maximum impact on their future library experience."
Einstein added, "New Canaan Library's roots run deep in this community and we take our role as the intellectual center of the town very seriously, which is why we are embarking on this ambitious effort to significantly improve our Library. We look forward to continuing to connect the community with each other and to the world of ideas."
New Canaan Library has served as the town's intellectual center since 1877, when it was founded by volunteers who contributed donated books and raised money to
operate a reading room on Elm Street. In 1895, New Canaan Library became one of the first public-private partnerships with the town, when the latter gave the Library its first annual grant of $100. Recognizing the benefits of an excellent library for the residents and reputation of the Town, Albert Comstock and Jesse St. John made estate gifts to the Library. With these legacy gifts, the Library moved from the Elm Street storefront and built its present building in 1913. In the tradition of the original volunteers and Comstock and St. John, New Canaan residents continued to generously support the Library and its capital drives for the expansions in 1937, 1952, and again in 1979 with the addition of the Lapham Wing. The ability to touch all generations of New Canaan residents by giving to the Library has inspired donors over the years to endow programs such as the Salant Lecture and collections like the Karen Grimes Collection of classic children's books. The spirit of philanthropy and support of the Library as a town treasure continues through gifts to the Annual Appeal, to the growing Patron Society, to the Library Endowment, for capital expenditures, and for the many programs and collections that make New Canaan Library great.

UAH makes WCHA ice pitch today
By MATT WELLENS
For The Daily News
MARQUETTE – When the University of Alabama-Huntsville makes its pitch today at the NCAA convention in Dallas, Texas, to become the 10th member of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, Northern Michigan University's contingent of Athletic Director Forrest Karr and President David Haynes will be paying attention to three key issues.
Direct flights to Huntsville, Ala., from Chicago and Detroit are important and so is the amount of potential missed class time by student athletes.
(Continued from page 1-B)
The big issue, however, will be the kind of travel subsidy offered – if any.
Chargers' Athletic Director E.J. Brophy believes Karr, Haynes and the rest of the league will like what UAH President Robery Altenkirch has to say on that subject.
"I'm not going to go into detail right now," Brophy said by phone from Huntsville on Monday. "I'll only say our president will be addressing that Thursday and the people sitting in that room will be very happy with what he has to say."
Now in the 11th hour, the Chargers' hockey program is ready to put everything on the table for the nine future members of the WCHA this week in an attempt join the league and save its hockey program, which is the lone independent left in NCAA Division I hockey following the collapse of College Hockey America in 2010.
UAH will need approval from seven of the WCHA's nine presidents and chancellors with NMU, Michigan Tech, Lake Superior State, Ferris State, Bowling Green State, Alaska-Anchorage and Alaska-Fairbanks set to make up the league in 2013-14.
"For us to get into the WCHA, it would be like opening the gates of heaven for our hockey program," Brophy said. "It really would."
The lack of a league has hindered the Chargers' recruiting efforts over the past three seasons because an inability to reach the NCAA tournament. A severe lack of home games at the team's recently renovated, 6,602-seat Von Braun Center doesn't help either.
No league means no automatic NCAA bid for UAH to chase after, or a set amount of home games in a year.
"If you look at how we played hockey before we became an independent, it's pretty darn attractive," Brophy said. "Since we've become an independent three years ago – we've played three full seasons just about as an independent – it has not been attractive. It's hard to schedule, it's hard to win, it's hard to recruit and we are basically going on the road and playing powerhouses every time we go on the road."
A travel subsidy similar to what the Alaska-Fairbanks and Alaska-Anchorage offer will go a long way to opening those gates, according to Karr, who was the AD at UAF for seven years prior to taking over NMU's athletic department in June.
"As we go into this new WCHA conference, we know that costs are going to increase for a variety of reasons," said Karr. "We'd like to make sure adding another member institution doesn't directly impact our budget."
WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod said a travel subsidy from UAH is not only a major concern for rest of the league, but for him as well.
Only McLeod wants to know whether or not the Chargers can afford the costs of hotel rooms, place tickets and ground transportation for the other nine league members, while still being competitive.
"They have to do something that makes sense in the long term for their program," McLeod said. "Under normal circumstances, not counting any kind of subsidies, you are talking probably spending a ($1.3 million) on the hockey program to be competitive.
"They better be aware of what they are getting into in the long term here."

Topic: Classic AJAX calls
Hello to the forum. I am new to RoR and i am trying to make ajaxfy things.
I read some articles about Unobtrusive javascript. I see that remote attribute works ok.
My question is.
Is it a bad practice to use classic AJAX calls for forms.links etc.. ??
To do that i have to write an if statement about request.xhr. As far i read in rails 3 we dont use that anymore.
So if i use it what am i missing??
I hope i didn't confuse you
