From very early on, the historical questions that have interested me involved women, especially how women organized their worlds, where they found agency and how the culture around them affected their social visions. I was trained as a European historian, and primarily a historian of French history and women's history, but my horizons expanded with my first book, where I explored ideas of childhood, education, and individuality as well. I used all of these histories to explore how French culture, especially the rhetoric of nurturing domesticity, shaped eighteenth- and nineteenth-century women's lives. I wondered especially how women who embraced the new domestic ideal as it came to prominence in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries could believe that they were doing something that would change their world for the better.
My current research takes the same ideas of agency, activism, and affectionate domesticity and moves them forward in time and emphasis, exploring how French women of the later nineteenth century took the idea of a woman's "natural" ability to nurture and create and applied it to their spiritual lives. In particular, I investigate how these ideals affected ideas about women's vocation, new devotional practices, hagiography, and the work of women religious. After all, new forms of biological determinism accompanied the advance of the domestic ideal, and many of the central arguments in favor of maternity as a woman's natural destiny grew out of religious language. According to preachers and religious reformers, women who were active in public life, including celibate nuns, had abandoned their vocation from God, that of domestic motherhood. And yet, the same period also saw an explosion in the creation of public societies for women, including a boom in religious orders that were not only active in the world, but also missionary in nature. Given that nurturing motherhood came to be seen as a woman's only real destiny in many circles of nineteenth-century thought, it is curious that the same period saw numerous individual women and female organizations which downplayed the importance of physical maternity and believed women called to create feminine public institutions and activities. An examination of these documents will thus demonstrate how modern discourses about religion, gender, and public activity intersected with assumptions about maternity and private life.

text: I have finally refurbished the old extractor I bought and am now getting around to extracting this summers honey. The honey I have taken off is all different colors and from two side of the state that have vastly differing nectar sources. My question is should I just extract it all together and let it mix or should I do the light colored then the dark colored from each side of the state? What are your opinions on this? Does the light or dark sell dramatically better or worse. I am trying to sell 12 lab pups at the moment and have had no problem selling the yellows but have not sold one black yet. I donÂt want the same problem with my honey!

Old-Fashioned Fun in Maryland's Capital
SpringHill Suites Annapolis • Annapolis, MD
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Studio Suite
- Complimentary Continental Breakfast for Two
- $20 Marriott MarketPlace Credit
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Five Nights
Annapolis, Maryland, is a state capital for the history books. Instead of towering buildings and mass transit, its cobblestone streets are lined with century-old inns and taverns. When you're in the mood for getaway just as timeless, consider this Escape to SpringHill Suites Annapolis—ranked the #1 hotel in the area by TripAdvisor.
You and a compatriot will spend one night in a Standard Studio Suite and receive a complimentary continental breakfast for two and a $20 Marriott MarketPlace credit ($94).
Suite-style accommodations offer one king or two queen beds, a sitting area, a kitchenette, and high-speed Internet access. And don't worry if you've forgotten something; you can use your $20 credit to buy toiletries and snacks at the on-site convenience store. The credit is also valid toward the purchase of beer or wine.
After a complimentary continental breakfast, set out to write the next chapter of your vacation story. "In the lively port of Annapolis, Colonial Maryland continues to assert itself," says Fodor's review of Annapolis. "Today 'Crabtown,' as the state capital is sometimes called, has one of the highest concentrations of 18th-century buildings in the nation, including more than 50 that predate the Revolutionary War."
Swing by The Annapolis Maritime Museum—including, among other exhibits, a 455-million-year-old horseshoe crab—or ship off on a tour of the U.S. Naval Academy. Complete your afternoon admiring old-fashioned vessels and contemporary boats over a frothy beer at Annapolis's City Dock.
You can study the nooks and crannies of downtown streets as you walk around the State Capital circle or amble along Maryland Avenue, lined with antique shops, art galleries, and clothing stores.
After a day of sightseeing, return to the hotel for a relaxing dip in the indoor spa. No matter the weather, the young and the young at heart can always make a splash in the indoor heated pool. You'll enjoy all the rich maritime tradition with the intimacy of yesteryear during Annapolis's off-season, making this Escape one for the ages.
"I have been in the tourism industry for more than 20 years and I consider my self somewhat of a hotel snob. If anything, this hotel exceeded all of my expectations. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the breakfast was warm and delicious."-- TripAdvisor

Neighbourhood Profile
Ikebukuro is an area of massive development. Several thousand tenants occupy two giant department stores and shopping malls, where all sorts of shopping and gourmet foods can be enjoyed. The 60-story building at the east entrance of the station, Sunshine City, is a landmark within Ikebukuro and features an aquarium, planetarium, theme park as well as an observation platform. The popular name for the western side of this area is "Otome Road" (Maiden Road) and there are many shops selling products related to anime with a female theme. It has rapidly become the worldwide headquarters for 'otaku' or geek culture.

It seems as if there's no light at the end of the state's gloomy fiscal tunnel.
The recession has caused tax revenues to plummet. The cost of government has been higher than expected. Our governor and legislators, Democrat or Republican, uniformly feel they must respond by radically cutting the state budget. They've already cut — and are sharpening the knives to cut deeper — funds for public schools, community colleges, university campuses, and services for the old, poor, sick, mentally ill, developmentally disabled, and prisoners. And many services have been serially slashed for years.
Just last April, the Legislature sliced away $118 million from the state's current two-year budget. Then in November Governor John Baldacci cut another $80 million. He's asking the new Legislature to approve that move, and on December 16 he announced he wants to cut another $15 million, besides taking $45 million out of the state's reserves.
And officials project a colossal $840-million shortfall in what had been a $6.8-billon General Fund budget for the next pair of fiscal years (called the biennium), beginning July 1. Since human services and education make up 80 percent of the budget, they will continue to be the big targets. For the same period, a $556-million hole has appeared in the $1.2-billion state highway fund, which is financed largely by a tax on gasoline.
Curse the recession, which may become the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression. But there is a huge irony in the response of Maine politicians to the recession — an irony first appreciated in the 1930s: Putting aside the waste of not educating young people as well as they could be, putting aside the unfairness and cruelty of not caring properly for the most vulnerable in society, most economists agree that cuts in the state budget make the recession worse.
Cuts mean layoffs for state workers and local teachers (school budgets depend on state aid), as well as for people at nonprofits that receive state money to care for the needy, and at firms dependent on government contracts. The "ripple" effect hits stores and other businesses indirectly reliant on government spending. With more people out of work and spending less, income- and sales-tax revenues will decline, but more people will need state services. It's an economic whirlpool.
Economists agree that in a recession the government should increase spending to stimulate economic demand, to get the economy moving again. "Economics is really clear on this point," says University of Maine at Farmington economist John Messier.
In the 1930s, when Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt fought the Depression with massive federal-government spending, putting into practice the new theory of British economist John Maynard Keynes, Roosevelt was partially thwarted by state and municipal budget-cutting. The same cross-purposes are now being set up.
President-elect Barack Obama, another Democrat, is preparing to spend as much as $850 billion in an economic stimulus to make over America's infrastructure — to repair highways, bridges, and schools, and institute society-wide energy conservation and the development of alternative energy sources.
Thus, Maine governmental budget slashing is "the exact wrong thing at the wrong time," Messier says.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
You also save some electricity. It appears that a LED light can be about half the wattage as a PC light for the same light intensity. That also gives you "green points" with the green crowd. And, I'm sure there will eventually be easy to use devices available to power the LEDs without spending so much.
Also, I visited my surplus metals store and found that aluminum plate is $3 per pound, pretty cheap, and they had some aluminum channel, at $15 per 8 feet like:
This channel is perfect for a row of LEDs. It is thick enough to be a very good heat exchanger, and just the right size to mount LED "stars" on it, with fan cooling behind.
For an 18 inch long piece that would only be about $3 for each row of LEDs. If there were enough interest I would be willing to buy an 8 foot piece and sell it at cost, plus shipping. Heat sink extrusions start at about $20 per foot.
I apologize for hijacking the thread, but at least this is on topic to some extent.
Well there is one factor that might save you a little cash in the long run. You don't have to replace the LEDs anywhere close as often as fluorescent bulbs. F.e. the cree LEDs I used for my build are rated that after 50,000 hours of usage they will emit 80% of the light they originally emitted.
I did this mainly for the fun and learning factor tho. Doing stuff like this yourself is fun stuff
Actually the LEDs are not even half of the cost! http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2395 is the cheapest source I have found for high power LEDs suitable for our use. Note that this particular batch is a "bin" of lower lumen output high power Cree LEDs.
Just a flat aluminum plate might work ok, but keeping the LEDs cool is a major requirement for long life and most output, and they do get very hot if not actively cooled. A finned aluminum heat sink extrusion is obviously the best idea, but my local surplus metals dealer sells aluminum extrusions, not heat sink extrusions, that include all sizes of channels. They are sold in 8 foot lengths. So, for a 20 inch long heat sink, that gives you 5 lengths. A 10 gallon tank is about 10 inches in depth, so 2 inch channel would give you an almost perfect fit with the top. But, you don't need that, so a 1.5 inch channel gives you a 7.5 inch wide heatsink, which is perfect. And, 1.5 inch channel is only about $15 per length - very cheap. But, you have to use a heat conducting grease between the channels, and rivet or screw them together, side by side. So, $15 plus about $5-$10 worth of grease, and another $5 worth of nuts and bolts will give you a heat sink.
The DC power supply has to provide enough amperes to drive all of the LEDs, and at a voltage that lets you put the LEDs all in series, or in parallel groups of equal numbers of LEDs in series. Each LED will use about 3.1 to 3.6 volts. If 16 are put in series, the DC voltage required is 16 x 3.6 volts, or 57.6 volts, but you need a bit more in order to limit the current, so a 60 volt source is needed. The LEDs, for maximum output, will need .7 amps, so that 60 volt supply has to be capable of 700 mAmps output, preferably up to 1000 mAmps (1 amp). It is hard to find such a AC to DC converter with those parameters.
To control the current you need 1% resistors, maybe at worst 5% resistors, able to handle the power you will drop on the resistors.
For best cooling you need two fans, 12 VDC and a power supply for them, or 110VAC, which are more expensive.
To mount the LEDs you need a heat transmitting grease or adhesive between each LED and the heat sink, and that stuff can cost from $3 to $20.
Even hookup wire isn't free, and nuts and bolts, switches, etc. all add up too. And, you still don't have a nice looking housing for the light fixture.
The important thing is to really enjoy the adventure of learning about LEDs, electric circuits, designing the fixture, and making it.
ok let me see if i have the right idea, in my diy light fixture i would use a very thin plate of aluminum, attach the leds, the dc power, and fans
so my parts list would consist of
- 22" aluminum plate
- 16 Leds
- one computer fan
- dc power supply
what other parts would i possibly need? the led driver or something?
i really really love this led fixture made byKev82!
i know i can get my hands on a aluminum plate from homedepot or some place cant be that expensive , i think i may have a dc powersupply if i look through my stuff, a pc cooling fan is easy to get
so all these items stated above will be cheap the main important and expensive stuff would be the led's itself
what if all the people intrested in making Led fixture got together and we order over 150 LEds im sure we could get it for cheap,
Also there is a led store on ebay can anybody check to see for the cheapest led bulbs we can use that would output enough light for 10 gal?
i think if we all work together we can find the best cheapest and most effective way to create led fixtures
As Hoppy says, this type of project is not about saving money. Its more of a "craft" project. This is what happens when you get rid of your TV.
I also had a need for a custom solution to upgrade my lighting for a non-standard fixture length.
I have been thinking about how much a LED light for a 10 gallon tank would cost. So, I think I will make that a project for today - not making one, but trying to design a minimalist one. I do have an empty 10 gallon tank, but, please, please, I hope this doesn't get me back to two operating tanks again!
EDIT: It looks like I could make a 10 gallon LED fixture, giving moderate lighting intensity, using 16 Cree LEDs, for about $125 total, making good use of surplus materials. Not cheap for a 10 gallon tank, but the need for DC power, a heat sink, cooling fans, etc. makes it almost impossible to build one cheaper than $100, no matter how ingenious you are. You have to look at this as half entertainment and education, and half getting a nice light fixture.

Resistors aren't expensive either, also being available at the surplus store. Cooling fans, in all sizes, are about $5 each at that store. (If I had found that store earlier my cost for a light for my 45 gallon tank would be around $125 total.)
I have two 10 gal's that are in dire need of lighting I was guna go down to homedepot and pickup a light fixture or something i dont know what to do,
hoppy how much do you think it would cost to make 2 of them?
i like these leds because theyr so sleek and small and i heard its possible to attach a dimmer to the leds, that will be so amazng omg

|I keep forgetting to ask this: what kind of heatsink is that? It looks like a surplus electronic device sink of some kind. And, of course, what does it cost?
Parts List (Yeah for Google Doc's)
Total cost was ~$230. This is way more expensive then what it would take to build an equivalent PC fluorescent lamp
I'm assuming you noticed how much of their energy plants derive from the blue spectrum. Have you looked into imbalances that may occur from the lack of equally heavy 650 - 700nm lighting?
In researching my plan for the light I came across message boards for people growing hydroponic plants (tomatoes). While it is might be more efficient to use a spectrum of light, these people showed that plants can be grown with just Blue and/or Red LED's. That said, it will be very interesting to see what plants do well and if others do even better as all plants have a different spectral response. When I plant this tank I will have to focus on as many different colors as I can pack into such a small tank.
I was about to say that 3 blue moonlight is not necessary for 7 gals but you already done it and it looks nice.

Good job here, I'll be watching this one.
You added some blue LEDs, originally intending on using them as night lights but mentioned you were re-considering that? I'm assuming you noticed how much of their energy plants derive from the blue spectrum. Have you looked into imbalances that may occur from the lack of equally heavy 650 - 700nm lighting?
can u please tell us how much all the materials cost you roughly and where you got them from?
i am very intrested in making two light fixtures for my 10 gal's
how many watts/leds would you recommend for a 10 gal
|That is awesome. If you did buy the parts do you have a guesstimate of the approximate cost? I want to do this with a 2.5 gallon, so i would only need a few leds.

Central for all travel connections. (i.e. 5 minutes walk to the conventional ferries, tramway and Şişhane subway station.)

Good value, clean, all-you-need, quiet, well-situated accommodation and a congenial host.
The appartment is perfect. Relatively quite, really well situated. The appartment is clean, the bed is good, and the shower to that does not spoil anything.
Except the fact that fatih was a bit late for at the meeting point, he is a good renter. He can bring you some advises and help you if you want or leave you quiet. It is a good value for money. Don't expect a palace but a good place. (just a little noisy, walls are thin)
The apartment was clean and very nice, located in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Galata Tower is very close.
The metro station is close by, as the tram was really close.
We were very pleasantly surprised.
Localne shops are around, with very friendly service.
Fatih has provided advice and support at the highest level.
I highly recommend!
I really would like to go back there. =]
Fatih gave us a chearful wellcome, a good introduction into the location and plenty of very usefull tipps for our time in Istanbul. The accomodation was very clean, it is perfectly located. We did most of our tours just walking from the flat. The neighborhood is good, we especially liked the small shop with its freshly pressed orange-juices.
Marianne and Christoph
Really serious and polite host, nice little flat in the heart of Istanbul, close to Galata Tower. We're really glad of this experience!
Thanks Fatih!
The location and service made this a super place to stay. Just down the street from Galata Tower - in a local neighborhood that seems to be developing rapidly - but has still held on to it's roots. Great little cafes and boutiques surround the place and an easy walk up the hill to Iskatlal street or down the hill to the Tram line. Fatih was super and had plenty of resources at the apartment about Istanbul as well as even showed me around the neighborhood for a quick walk. The room was perfect for a longer stay and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking which helped me save money. I had a great stay!
The studio flat had everything you could possibly wish to have a magical time, its location was perfect and nowhere was too far to walk to.
Fatih was the perfect host and made sure that everything was explained.
I would thoroughly recommend staying and can't wait to go back.
Fatih is a very nice host, in who you can be confident. Very carefull with his guests, easy to join by phone or email, he provides lots of advises in order to make your stay in Istanbul easier and more interesting. He has several different flats, that seems all well located.
Alles schön und sauber es wurde sich gut um uns gekümmert ankuft lief reibungslos Abfahrt auch fast alles in allem gelungene Unterkunft gelungener Urlaub. Wohnung liegt zentral in einem belebtem viertel.
Muy buen departamento, muy buena ubicación, moderno y cómodo. Fatih es muy cálido y brindo información acerca de los lugares a donde ir y siempre estuvo en contacto cuando se los requirió.súper recomendable.

Be a part of 2017 Orioles Dream Week in Sarasota, and you'll have a chance to meet many of your favorite baseball heroes from over six decades of baseball in Birdland. Live out your childhood dreams of being a Major League Baseball player alongside Orioles Legend Jim Palmer and former Orioles like Mike Boddicker, Al Bumbry, Rick Dempsey, Mike Devereaux, Chris Hoiles, Scott McGregor, and many more. Play games at the Orioles baseball facilities at the Buck O'Neil Baseball Complex and Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, FL, get instruction from the pros and hear the stories from the guys who lived the dream. No matter your skill level, any Orioles fan age 30 or older will be thrilled by this experience of a lifetime.
Click the below tabs to get more information regarding the 2017 Orioles Dream Week!
Have additional questions? E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call (410) 547-6063.
I haven't touched a baseball in 30 years and I don't want to make a fool of myself.
This is the single biggest concern among new campers. We can't stress enough that there is no pre-requisite for experience, talent or physical prowess. The camp is meant to be fun, and we have campers of all ages and abilities. All that is required is that you enjoy the Orioles and the game of baseball.
Do most people attend with a friend or attend on their own?
There really is a mix. Some friends and co-workers come down together, and there are father/son combinations, even mother/son and father/daughter combos. But about 75% of campers come down completely on their own. It's a chance to meet and socialize with other Oriole fans, and many lifelong friendships have gotten their start at Orioles camps.
What is the average age of a camper?
The minimum age to attend camp is 30 years old. Our campers range in age from 30 to 80+ years old. The median age at last year's camp was 51. Regardless of age, each camper has the same opportunity to play -- as much or as little as they want to take part.
I'm a woman who loves baseball and would like to play. Can I take part?
Every year we have several women who take part who want to experience the thrill of putting on the uniform and playing baseball. We have a separate locker room for women and once on the field, they are "just one of the guys".
What equipment do I need for camp?
We provide a full authentic home white and batting practice black Orioles uniform tops, as well as pants, belt, socks and undershirt. We also provide all bats, helmets, catchers gear and other general baseball equipment. Each camper should bring their own glove, non-metal cleats and any accessories they may want for the week (sunglasses, batting gloves, etc.).
Are there photographers and videographers available to capture the week's events? Yes. We have professional photographers and videographers on site throughout the week to capture the events. You'll receive a team photo and one with all the pros. Additional photos will be available for purchase both at the camp and afterward. We provide a video after the Reunion Game as part of the package at no additional charge.
Are family and friends allowed at camp?
Yes. Friends and family are allowed to attend all games free of charge. We do discourage general fans from attending the games, as this is your time to be with the pros and we want it to be a special experience. If you wish to have your family member or friend attend the social functions and meals, these are available as part of the Fan Package which includes access to all events, transportation and other special amenities.
Do I need a rental car?
Transportation is provided to/from the Airport for those on the group flight, as well as between the hotel and ballpark each day. It is not necessary to rent a car and is entirely up to you if you decide to do so.
What is the Dream Week Reunion game?
As part of the Dream Week package, all campers are invited to take part in a reunion game with their team at Oriole Park at Camden Yards during the 2017 season. There is no additional charge for playing in the game, but travel arrangements are on your own. The date of the game will be determined once the 2017 MLB schedule is released.
What kind of physical shape should I be in for camp?
We recommend that ever camper try to be in the best shape possible to fully enjoy their Dream Week experience. At the same time, we are not training to become professional athletes in one week so don't go overboard. Fun and moderation are the themes of the camp. The Orioles professional athletic training staff will be on-site at all times to help with any injuries or sore muscles that may arise.
The Dream Week experience was everything I hoped for and more. I can't decide if the most enjoyable part was the actual playing of the games on beautiful baseball diamonds or the easy access to the pros all week long.
I thought the entire week in Florida was superbly managed. The facility is exquisite. The equipment men, dining staff and trainers were thoroughly professional and responsive to our needs And most importantly, the pros, to a man, were personable, approachable and-even with the old "Dads" in camp - infinitely patient.
Sometimes people sign up as infielders or outfielders, and you find out they can throw the ball okay, so they end up pitching. It's a chance for them to do something they never had a chance to do growing up.
I have sat beside Hall of Famers on the bench just like they were my teammates in little league and discussed baseball. I have had the best hitting instruction ever in my life When you attend this event you actually become one of them and live every minute as they do and they are very normal guys and love us fans!
The coolest thing is getting to know the pros, sharing a little of the life they led, hearing their stories. It's a whole bunch of people getting together, sharing the love of baseball. It's a big alumni group and I'm just happy to be a part of it - I hope I can continue to be a part of it for many years.
It's fun to work with the players and see their improvement through the week. Last year was my first year as part of the staff, and if the campers enjoyed it as much as I did, I know they had a blast!

When driving or as a passenger on a road trip and the need to use the restroom occurs. Someone within the vehicle says "schtookie" requesting that the driver to proceed to the next available facility with a restroom.
While on a road trip Rubi and Lee needed to use the restroom. They informed Madge, the driver, by saying "schtookie". Madge then exited the highway to the nearest facility with a public restroom.

City hires firm to design Triple-A ballpark Downtown
EL PASO, Texas - City Council voted 6-2 today to approve a more than $3 million contract with the Kansas City firm Populous as the main architect for design of the city's new $50 million Downtown Triple-A ballpark.
Only City Representatives Carl Robinson and Eddie Holguin, who have been against the tearing down of City Hall in order to build the ballpark all along, voted against the approval of the architect.
Populous is expected to be joined by several subcontractors as consultants, including three from El Paso: WP Moore, R. Navarro and MNK Architects.
The 7,000 to 9,000-seat ballpark is expected to include 20 to 30 luxury boxes and 250 to 500 club level seats. In addition there will be concession facilities, team facilities and team office space, a team store, programming for kitchen equipment and scoreboard and video board design.

"This is a bawdy tale. Herein you will find gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity, as well as nontraditional grammar, split infinitives, and the odd wank . . . If that's the sort of thing you think you might enjoy, then you have happened upon the perfect story!"
Verily speaks Christopher Moore, much beloved scrivener and peerless literary jester, who hath writteneth much that is of grand wit and belly-busting mirth, including such laurelled bestsellers of the Times of Olde Newe Yorke as Lamb, A Dirty Job, and You Suck (no offense). Now he takes on no less than the legendary Bard himself (with the utmost humility and respect) in a twisted and insanely funny tale of a moronic monarch and his deceitful daughters—a rousing story of plots, subplots, counterplots, betrayals, war, revenge, bared bosoms, unbridled lust . . . and a ghost (there's always a bloody ghost), as seen through the eyes of a man wearing a codpiece and bells on his head.
A man of infinite jest, Pocket has been Lear's cherished fool for years, from the time the king's grown daughters—selfish, scheming Goneril, sadistic (but erotic-fantasy-grade-hot) Regan, and sweet, loyal Cordelia—were mere girls. So naturally Pocket is at his brainless, elderly liege's side when Lear—at the insidious urging of Edmund, the bastard (in every way imaginable) son of the Earl of Gloucester—demands that his kids swear their undying love and devotion before a collection of assembled guests. Of course Goneril and Regan are only too happy to brownnose Dad. But Cordelia believes that her father's request is kind of . . . well . . . stupid, and her blunt honesty ends up costing her her rightful share of the kingdom and earns her a banishment to boot.
Well, now the bangers and mash have really hit the fan. The whole damn country's about to go to hell in a handbasket because of a stubborn old fart's wounded pride. And the only person who can possibly make things right . . . is Pocket, a small and slight clown with a biting sense of humor. He's already managed to sidestep catastrophe (and the vengeful blades of many an offended nobleman) on numerous occasions, using his razor-sharp mind, rapier wit . . . and the equally well-honed daggers he keeps conveniently hidden behind his back. Now he's going to have to do some very fancy maneuvering—cast some spells, incite a few assassinations, start a war or two (the usual stuff)—to get Cordelia back into Daddy Lear's good graces, to derail the fiendish power plays of Cordelia's twisted sisters, to rescue his gigantic, gigantically dim, and always randy friend and apprentice fool, Drool, from repeated beatings . . . and to shag every lusciously shaggable wench who's amenable to shagging along the way.
Pocket may be a fool . . . but he's definitely not an idiot.
"Less may be more, but it isn't Moore. Wretched excess doth have power to charm, and there are great reeking oodles of it strewn throughout these irreverent pages."
-Kirkus Reviews on FOOL
"Moore compares favorably to Tom Robbins – crazy adventure, clever twists, feel-good philosophy – crafting a laugh-out-loud romp with Bard-worthy smarts."
-Philadelphia City Paper on FOOL
"A page-turner…. Your 'Lear' can be rusty or completely unread to appreciate this new perspective on the Shakespearean tragedy. That is if you enjoy a whole lot of silly behind the scenes of your tragedies."
-Valdosta Times (Georgia) on FOOL
"The very definition of a bawdy romp: a broad, elbow-in-the-ribs, wink-wink homage to King Lear (but with quantities of shagging that would have kept legions of Grade 12 students glued to their copies had the Bard only thought to include it). …[A] riotous adventure."
-Winnipeg Free Press
"It's hard to resist so gleeful a tale of murder, witchcraft, treason, maiming, and spanking. . . . Moore's deft ear for dialogue keeps the pages turning . . . Fool is a wickedly good time."
-Christian Science Monitor on FOOL
"In truth, Fool is exuberantly, tirelessly, brazenly profane, vulgar, crude, sexist, blasphemous and obscene. Compared to Moore's novel, even Mel Brooks's hilariously tasteless film "Blazing Saddles" appears a model of stately 18th-century decorousness."
-Washington Post Book World (Michael Dirda) on FOOL
"Funny, literate, smart and sexy, all at once!"
-Jeff Lindsay, author of the Dexter series, on FOOL
"In transforming "King Lear" into a potty-mouthed jape, Moore is up to more than thumbing his nose at a masterpiece. His version of Shakespeare's Fool, who accompanies Lear on his slide from paternal arrogance to spiritual desolation in the original text, simultaneously honors and imaginatively enriches the character."
-San Francisco Chronicle on FOOL
"Often funny, sometimes hilarious, always inventive, this is a book for all, especially uptight English teachers, bardolaters and ministerial students of the kind who come to our doorstep on Saturday mornings."
-Dallas Morning News on FOOL
"You don't need to be a Shakespeare expert to get this retelling, which keeps the bones of the tragedy (mad monarch, scheming daughters, moatful of mayhem) but rattles them with cheeky tweaks and plays it all for laughs.…[Moore] achieves bust-a-gut funny."
-Daily News on FOOL
"[W]all-to-wall, farcical fornicating and fighting…a jolly good time can be had."
-Booklist on FOOL
"Moore is a very clever boy when it comes to words. There are good chuckles to be had in this tale. …Whether you need to read the original King Lear before you read Moore's Fool is debatable. Seems a fool's errand to us. Just enjoy."
-USA Today on FOOL
"Moore turns things on their head with an edgy 21st-century perspective that makes the story line as sharp, surly and slick as a game of Grand Theft Auto… It's a manic, masterly mix-winning, wild and something today's groundlings will applaud."
-Publishers Weekly on FOOL

Town Square
Are you angry over the turf sports on the ridgeline?
Original post made by Jordan Doronila, Danville Weekly reporter, on Aug 29, 2007
Media coverage was high. There were four to seven cameras filming the commission. There were reporters lingering about. There was so much coverage. Do you think it deserves this amount of coverage?
Anyhow, residents were pretty upset about Lowe's field. They felt he was inconsiderate and didn't take account their perspectives when he built it.
Is anyone livid or angry over this? How would you feel if you had a 14 foot fence on a hill when you look from your backyard?
a resident of Walnut Creek
on Aug 30, 2007 at 3:47 pm
I think he should have asked the neighbors first if they would have minded. Of course he already knew the answer would be Yes, they minded. What I minded was that it was a typical Danville parent going overboard over his children's sports. Why can't kids just play sports and enjoy themselves, w/o overly agressive parents?
a resident of Danville
on Sep 2, 2007 at 11:55 am
You bet your bottom $ I am angry, but not at Mr. Lowe. Anon from WC has almost got it 100%. Yes there are plenty of DV parents that go overboard, but there are just as many in WC. The people that went overboard are his neighbors who think that they should have a say in what Mr. Lowe does with his own land. They should have been smarter and sold the land to the county, Save Mt. Diablo, EBRP, or one of the other goverment agencies that will ensure that those in the proletariat don't have their views obstructed, before the land was sold to Mr. Lowe. Since they were too late, they lose. The fence is not an eyesore, it looks like a fence.
My backyard has a $1,000,000 view of Mt. Diablo obstructed by 3 of my neighbors large redwood trees. I wonder if the Town would give me a permit to chop them down? In order to be consistent with their ruling, they would have to.
a resident of Danville
on Sep 28, 2007 at 8:39 pm
Mr. Lowe's ball park looks great! It shows he wants the best for his family. His neighboors need to quit staring through his fence at the sky or Mt. Diablo or whatever all day and get a hobby. Maybe volunteer at the homeless shelter... That might give them some perspective about how lucky they are to have a multi-million dollar house that has only one flaw: their neighboor's fence. Get a life already!

CO Tales
CO Nikki Shoutz (Pine River) tracked down the owner of a unoccupied fish shelter still on a Pine River lake since the March 4 deadline. It appeared to be a miscommunication with a friend who was to remove it. When asked why there was no license on it – he said that when he put it out three months ago, it was just going to be an "overnight fishing trip." Enforcement action was taken. Assistance with snowmobile enforcement was also provided at the annual Crosslake St. Patrick's Day parade. Enforcement action was taken for failing to display registration, failing to stop at road crossings and operating snowmobile with no snowmobile safety permit.
CO Duke Broughten (Longville) spent the week monitoring angling and snowmobiling activity. Angling success continues to be poor in the Longville area with most travel limited to snowmobile. Snowmobile activity remained high this past week. CO Broughten received several complaints of anglers leaving their ice houses out and are now running into trouble getting them off area lakes. Enforcement action included: no angling license in possession and failure to display snowmobile registration.

Hope College music faculty member Rob Hodson's book is receiving a slightly different academic reception. The Hope College Jazz Studies Area is celebrating with a book release party on Thursday, April 12, from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Butch's Dry Dock.
Hodson's book, "Interaction, Improvisation, and Interplay in Jazz" was recently published by Routledge Press.
The release party will feature a jazz jam session featuring both Hope College faculty and students. Light appetizers will be provided as well.
Hodson is an associate professor of music and serves as coordinator of the music theory and composition area at Hope, where he has taught since 2002.
His research interests include jazz improvisation, improvisational process, metric and rhythmic complexity, and music theory pedagogy. "Interaction, Improvisation, and Interplay in Jazz" draws upon semiotics, linguistics, and phenomenology--as well as more traditional music-theoretic models--to explore the interactive processes that occur between simultaneously-improvising jazz musicians and the effects that the interactions have on the individual musician's improvisations.
An active scholar, Hodson has presented research at many regional, national, and international conferences, including those of the International Association for Jazz Education, the Society for Music Theory, the Society for Music Perception and Cognition, the College Music Society, and many others. He serves as a Councilor-at-Large for the Council for Undergraduate Research, and also serves as a Resource Team Member for the International Association for Jazz Education.
He holds a doctorate in music theory from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and has also earned Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in piano performance from Hope, from which he graduated in 1989, and Michigan State University, respectively. Prior to joining the Hope faculty, he held positions at the State University of New York at Binghamton and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The release party is also supported by Butch's Dry Dock, which is located at 44 E. Eighth St. in downtown Holland.

Kriewaldt Hopes to Lead Freedom Players to their "Super Bowl"
Six years ago, Clint Kriewaldt was making the tackle on the opening kickoff of Super Bowl XL.
Now the first-year Freedom Head Coach can find similarities between playing in the biggest game of his career and guiding the Irish to its first ever appearance in the state semifinals.
"Back in Pittsburgh when we won it that year, we were the number six-seed," Kriewaldt said Wednesday. "We went on the road; we won every game, and went on to win the Super Bowl. It's pretty similar. We (Freedom) were coming in as the eight-seed, and no one gives us a lot of credit. No one gave the Steelers credit that year."
Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl that year.
Now eight-seed Freedom is knocking on the door to their first ever trip to Madison just three years after the program finished the season 0-9.
"When I took over back in December/January I brought the kids together right away that day," Kriewaldt said. "The first thing I told them was we were going to be going after a gold ball this year."
"He's an amazing coach," said senior QB/CB Andrew Philibeck. "He completely brings our confidence up. He tells us we can do anything that we want to do."
And it's no shocker that Kriewaldt, a former All-State running back from Shiocton, has leaned heavily on the ground game this year.
Freedom averages nearly 250 yards rushing per game and eight yards per carry this season while scoring 38 touchdowns running the football. Junior Nathan Peters has led the way rushing for more than 600 yards and nine touchdowns in the past two playoff contests. On the season, Peters has tallied 2,058 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns.
Peters is the first to credit the Irish offensive line for his success. But let's face it this team doesn't seem all that worried with stats, they just want that trip to State.
"That would be the world to me," said Peters Wednesday before practice. "That was our goal from the start was to make it to Madison and we want to get a gold ball. Our first one for Freedom, that's our goal."
It's a goal Kriewaldt helped this team believe was possible, and now these players are close to playing in their "Super Bowl."
"We got a great group of kids," Kriewaldt said. "It would be outstanding for them and for this community. It couldn't have happened to a better group of kids."
To get to Madison Freedom needs to defeat 11-0 Big Foot. The Chiefs average 50 points a game and have run for 3,420 yards and 58 TDs this year.
"They can do it both," says Kriewaldt. They can throw the ball; they run the ball extremely well. This isn't a first-time experience for them. They've been there, don that that before."
Kriewaldt hopes that is something that can be said about his program moving forward.

How risky is inhalation of organic solvents?
Philip J. Bushnell
Our work with rats involved assessing their behavior or visual function while they inhaled a solvent. In these studies, a vapor is generated by evaporating the liquid solvent, diluting the vapor in clean air, and passing it through a chamber in which a rat is either working for food (see Figure 2, top) or viewing a video screen on which visual stimuli are presented (see Figure 2, bottom). For the behavioral studies, the rats are trained to press levers for food before they are exposed to any solvents. In these hour-long tests, a series of trials is presented in which a light flashes briefly during half of the trials (a "signal"). The lever that produces food depends on whether or not a signal occurred, and because the occurrence of the signal is unpredictable, we posit that the rat must attend to that light to respond accurately. Performance is quantified by counting the numbers of correct and incorrect responses (accuracy), and the time between insertion of the levers in each trial and the lever press (response time). An analogous procedure for human subjects has shown remarkable consistency between the two species across several important task parameters.
For electrophysiological studies of visual function, rats are first prepared surgically with electrodes on the surface of the skull. These electrodes detect the electrical activity over the visual cortex, which is driven by alternating patterns of visual stimuli on the video screen. Cortical neurons generate electrical signals that can be used to quantify visual function. Similar functions can be obtained from humans wearing scalp electrodes.
The effects of solvents on behavior and visual function are reliable, robust and directly related to the amount of the solvent inhaled. Behaviorally, accuracy decreases and response time increases with increasing exposure; visually, the amplitude of the recorded signal decreases with increasing exposure. At very high concentrations, animals become anesthetized; indeed, some solvents have historically been used as surgical anesthetics. These effects reflect steps along a general pathway often characterized as "narcosis."
Of course, the amount of the solvent entering the brain depends on its concentration in the air and the duration of the exposure. In addition, this "internal dose" of the chemical is a complex function of the individual's physiology (for example, breathing rate and cardiac output) and the solvent's physicochemical properties. Computational methods have been developed to estimate internal doses of chemicals under a wide range of exposure conditions. Such physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models incorporate these parameters into a set of differential equations representing the flux of the compound in blood and tissues. PBPK models for several solvents, including trichloroethylene and toluene, have been essential for understanding the effects of solvents on the CNS and the implications of inhaled solvents on public health.
Using the toluene PBPK model for rats, we examined the relation between exposure concentration (C), duration of exposure (t), and effects on signal detection behavior and visual function to determine the measure of dose ("dose metric") that best explains the observed pattern of effects of several solvents, including toluene. This analysis revealed clearly that the concentration of the solvent in the brain at the time of measurement provided an accurate estimate of the magnitude of its effects on performance of the task, in comparison to the concentration and duration of exposure and two metrics of cumulative dose. The results for response time in the behavioral test are shown in Figure 3.
The left most panel of Figure 3 shows that response time remains almost constant when rats perform the test in clean air, but it rises with increasing C and t of exposure to toluene. Because both C and t affect performance, both variables must be known to determine the magnitude of the increase. Because the cumulative dose determines the effect of some chemicals, we plotted the same response-time data against the total amount of toluene inhaled at each time point (C x t) and the total amount in the brain (estimated from the PBPK model) to see whether these metrics improved prediction of the effect. These single metrics did improve the predictions (middle panels of Figure 3), but neither metric predicted the effect as accurately as did the concentration of toluene in the brain at the time the behavior was measured (right most panel of Figure 3). Here it is clear that this single metric provides an accurate and unambiguous estimate of the magnitude of the slowing of the rats' responses. Similarly, the momentary concentration of the solvent in the brain also best determines its effects on visual function.
What are the implications of this relation between the concentration of a solvent in the brain of a rat and its effects on these esoteric measures of CNS function? Certainly the effects are large and reproducible, and may be relevant to Darel's neuropathy and Lars's confusion, but can they address Marcie's worry about her exposure to gasoline in the car driving home? The rats were exposed to very high concentrations of solvents, whereas Marcie's exposure was orders of magnitude lower. To explore these questions, my colleagues and I examined published data from other experiments with laboratory animals and human subjects. We wanted to find out how general these effects are, and whether similar dose-effect relations could reveal important information about short-term exposure to solvents at concentrations of concern to Marcie.

So, one probably dead general, Aizen's comeback hinted at and Ichigo is the world's only hope. Sounds familiar. He will probably be sooo strong that nobody can steal his OPness.

So here what I'm thinking the author was planning out in the last few arcs. After Aizen total defeat by Ichigo, the author ran out of idea's to prolong his career. "Time to make uses of Sado, we're headed toward "Fullbringer" arc. This arc was hated on by many fans and had contributed nothing to the protagonist development (lol). The arc ended aruptly to quickly, the author scatter far & wide and decided to make uses of Ishida heritage. Farther more butchering every character he has and their origin.
I'm calling it now! Ishida will be fighting Ichigo, but will be stomped by him and Ishida learned of his error and supports Ichigo w/ friendship power to fight Aizen once more!
Juhabach gets 1-shot after releasing Aizen (or betray).

okay, maybe I'm having an epic mind fart here, someone help me out...
so there were two brothers, who both possessed imitation abilities. So that explains how one was killed by kenpachi but there was still another one around to fight yamamoto. now, the translation i read said that both of them could imitate aspects of the enemy but NOT their appearances, so...how did this twin look like Bach?
I'm puzzled right now and maybe i havent been paying much attention the last few weeks lol.
As for the actual chapter, we gotta admit, the 'boss' being taken down so easily would have been silly. And Yamamoto recognizing his opponent as Bach when he wasn't would have confused a lot of stuff. I'm not so happy with the explanation, but hey, we get a bad guy that actually does stuff and guess what, good guys dying. Gotta see how this plays out.

I......I.......*sigh* fuck it! This isn't even worth ranting about anymore. The only thing that stopped me from trying to facepalm myself to death was the hope that Aizen will return.
But really apart from seeing the remaining Bankai's I have lost all interest in Bleach now.

I really expect Yamamoto to pull out the badge next chapter and use his VCs bankai. This would be so nice to have the "Let my Bankai be of use to you" come true.
I wonder why Yuha Bach didn't kill Aizen, after he refused to join them.

So Bach can bring back zombie shinigami to do his bidding since he killed some instead of the same zombies Yamamoto brought back? Cool.
I heard someone mention that it's not an assupull (the twins), where did we get a hint that there were two of the 'yourself' abilities?
So what happens now? Soul Society finally crumbles (after we get to see Kyoraku, Unohana(maybe later) and Ukitake's bankais) and then zero squad shows up?
I'm still really waiting for the part that Kubo said was coming, about Ichigo's mother's death having an explanation behind it. This is something that I believed didn't need to be addressed, it was a solid part of what made Bleach awesome in the beginning and a legit point for Ichigo to feel regret and guilt, but if there's really some 'other reason' behind it, I feel it might be ruined. Especially since Grand Fisher is already dead, so it's not like they're going to be fighting again...

The highlight of this chapter (for me) was definitely the mention of Aizen. I can see why he wouldn't join up with Juha Bach. Though I am curious as to why Juha Bach would seek out an alliance with him. But now I'm left wondering if Juha Bach still did the honor of releasing him from captivity? Or if Aizen chose to remain in captivity, I wonder what his motivation for doing so would be?
So many questions based off something so brief and simple. Aside from that, I already knew Yamamoto was going to be defeated, just like I know the Royal Guard's coming soon. Its just a matter of whether or not they arrive in time to save the old man. So it was hard to feel trolled when the outcome to this battle was hinted at months ago.
I guess I'll have to be one of few people who enjoyed this weeks chapter. This is one of those rare moments when it pays to be an Aizen fan. Also, this weeks chapter made something very clear. Bankai's can apparently only be stolen if the stealer has enough power to contain the bankai they're attempting to take. Guess that means absolutely no one is going to be taking Ichigo's bankai any time soon.

And of course there is a point: If he isn't with you, he may still become a potential threat in the future. Didn't they say they want to get rid of all Shinigami?

I look forward to stimulating imaginations and answering questions at the workshop in Pleasanton on Feb. 5. If you're in the 9th, 10th, or 11th grade, I hope to see you there.
