"I have been using Bada Bing Bada Boom for about a year. The past two years I've been making candy at Christmas, that I sell. I wanted to find a easier way to cover my candies, so I tried the Chocoley products. I was so pleased that I've continued to order. In fact, the products are so good and the service even better...Not only am I satisfied with Chocoley products, so are the people who eat my candies. Keep up the good work!" Ruthanne Henley Reese, St. Paul Park, MN
"I've been dabbling in making chocolate candy since 1995 when I came across a recipe in a magazine for chocolate covered cherries that I thought would make excellent Christmas presents for my friends and family. Since this has turned into an annual project of perhaps 14 different kinds of confections, I am constantly in search of a superior compound coating for enrobing and dipping. This is what brought me to Chocoley. I find the non tempering Bada Bing Bada Boom excellent in taste and very user friendly. And you can't beat the shine for molded candy. Thanks Steve for making a superior product." Claire Ferrante, Englewood Cliffs, NJ
"I just want to let you know that I purchased Chocoley Bada Bing Bada Boom from your web site and had it delivered then made my candy molds. The chocolate was the best I have ever tasted. When I need any chocolate in the future I will be sure to order from you again, as well as tell all my friends. Very good. Thanks again," Jan Recchia, Rochester Hills, MI
"I make toffee every Christmas and I was in a panic when I found the chocolate shop where I usually buy my chocolate closed. What to do? I went to a local craft store but was not impressed with their selection of chocolates for candy making. I searched the internet and came across Chocoley's website. I must admit I was a little hesitant about ordering a food product -- especially for my world famous toffee -- off an internet site. The order arrived very quickly and most importantly, the Bada Bing Bada Boom tasted amazing! What a relief to find such a great product. People actually put themselves in a sugar coma eating the toffee ... it's that good! I will continue to be a loyal customer and have passed on your name to other friends who enjoy baking. Thanks -- you provide a great service and product." Barb Hering, Lombard, IL
"My niece wanted chocolate at her wedding last March. I found your website and ordered the mix – a pound each of milk, dark, and white chocolate Bada Bing Bada Boom. She and I made all the chocolate into small chocolate hearts and placed them around the reception on the guests' tables and the dessert and coffee table. They were delicious and everyone raved about the chocolate – none were left! I haven't found chocolate that tastes this good for candy making in years. My questions were all answered personally with good tips for amount to purchase and tips for using the chocolate. The service was great. We will definitely be repeat customers." Peggy Trubey ,Orlando, FL
"I bought the Bada Bing Chocolate and just loved it. It is the best tasting candy melt I've ever purchased and it melts beautifully. I will buy it again--soon." Laura Ekart, Manhattan, KS
"Dear Chocoley, I have been making the same cashew/raisin clusters to give as Christmas gifts for the last 30 Christmases. This past year, my local candy store in Durham, NC went out of business. I got on the internet and found you. I had a nice conversation with Steve as to which product might work for me. He suggested Bada Bing Bada Boom. I ordered on Monday, received 10 lbs of dark on Thursday and had clusters ready for the office luncheon on Friday. What a hit! I have tried many different kinds of chocolate over the years and yours beats them all! There is just no comparison. Melted beautifully and comes out just as shiny as the fancy cashew clusters at the mall. You know the ones. But never mind how beautiful, they are more delicious than any I have ever made. Thank you for making my gifts such a success." Barbara A. Paradise, Chapel Hill, NC

I haven't seen this around and am curious if anyone has any experience with intermitant ammonia evaporative cooling? In particular I've been looking at something called a "Crosley icy ball" no moving parts and completly self contained other than a heat source. Having looked into the servel refrigeration cycle and finding it lacking in its ability to produce anything like a usefull amount of ice, I found the crosley system to be capable of well below freezing temps and am planing to build one, just wondering if anyone has any tips or recomendations. Strikes me as an excellent tool for bad times. I really like the no electric power / no propane needed part.

SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Yep, the Crosley autos were made right here in Marion, IN. My Dad helped setup their production line after WWII, unfortunately they were selling a sub-compact car in the era of huge automobiles and cheap gas. After the war, metal shortages were a problem and by the early 50s they folded.
"Servel", is that the same as the RV and "off grid" refridgerators made by Dometic? I think they make a home model chest freezer that runs off a kerosene lamp burner, rated somewhere around 10F temp. The RV model we had seemed to cool off pretty well, nothing like commercial ice production but it would freeze a few trays in an hour or so.
The old servel went out of bussiness but yes they made kero fired fridges, another company bought them out. The servel cycle is a constant cycle not able to reach the colder temps for resonable Ice production, the crosley icy ball is an intermitant amonia evaporation cycle that has to be recharged by heating the hot side but some units can go as low as -10 F or lower, more than suficient for the day with one cycle for refrigeration. Since the only thing needed for the crosley icy ball was heat it seems an ideal emergency unit thats light weight and durable. The amonia is going to be a pita to get with the meth problems though. I'm getting my parts pile together to build it anyway.
Servel is still in business under the Lehman name and still sell fuel-fired refrigerators: Propane Gas Refrigerators and Freezers from Servel
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
I can see a market for these.
Models can be built to remove water from the air.
Please post with pics when you build yours.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
The AC in my house had one of these Ammonia cooling systems. It used natural gas to boil the ammonia some kind of way and worked pretty well. I converted to a regular electric AC system now.
The real deal will be how can we keep food good in this heat? Glad to see everybody thinking about this one!
A while back I remember reading about the Icyball concept in survival settings. Using a mix of amonia and water, heat applied to one side causes the ammonia and water to seperate(ammonia faster due to lower boiling temp) and the other side to freeze when placed on a bucket of water. I've heard of people who actually took Igloo containers and modified them to use the Icyball setups. Reports of it working incredibly well were the norm. But certain safety issues were recommended. I'll post back when I gather the info again.
Check this page out. Lots of info.

I like this Icyball technique.
Back in 1983 when I took HVAC/R at tech school,I bartended and this waiter I worked with told me of his find.He bought a older home and in the basement was a coal oil operated refrigerator.He said the lamp held a few ounces of oil that had to be refilled and lit everyday to keep the unit running.I diden't study the ammonia system,wish I had.Not to late to learn,never is.

Plumen Lightbulb
Written by Katie on June 28, 2011. Permalink
Update: A+R Store now carries the Plumen ($30), fyi.
Original post:
I saw these lightbulbs in person yesterday at the Temporium, and found them quite impressive. If you're not familiar with the Plumen, you'll be glad to know that the Plumen bulb uses 80% less energy and lasts 8x longer than incandescent bulbs. Plus, it looks nice and doesn't need covering up.
You U.S. folks might be a little frustrated though, as they're not yet available in the states, but U.K. and European residents can purchase them directly through Plumen's website for £19.95/€29.95.
Purchase Information:Price: $30.00

text: Johannesburg - Power utility Eskom reported a nearly 60% rise in full-year profit on Thursday owing to higher tariffs and said it would meet power demand during the winter, despite tight supplies. State-owned Eskom, which supplies 95% of South Africa's power, said profit in the year to end-March rose to R13.2bn from R8.4bn the previous year. Cash-strapped Eskom has been struggling to raise the money it needs to build plants to avoid a repeat of a crisis that forced mines to shut for days in 2008 at a cost of billions of rands, but the utility has since turned the corner. "We have secured 78% of our R300bn funding programme over the next five years and the rest will come through the roll-out of our bond programme," finance director Paul O'Flaherty said. He said the utility would tap international markets when the time was right, although there was nothing imminent for now. Eskom has become more financially viable and has introduced steep increases in power tariffs in recent years to move the rates to cost-reflective levels. It expects power supply to be tight over the next few years until the first of new power plants comes on stream by the end of next year. The utility will add nearly 12 000 MW to the grid by 2019, which should relieve tight supplies in the world's top maker of platinum and ferrochrome. In case of a power deficit, the utility plans to use more expensive open cycle gas turbines to avoid blackouts. Stockpiles of coal, which feed more than 80% of its power plants, were at a healthy 39 days, it said. During the winter season - from June to August - power usage is at its highest. Peak demand during this winter is forecast at just under 37 000 MW. Eskom's primary energy costs rose to R46.3bn from R35.8bn due to higher coal prices. Revenue increased to R114.8bn from R91.4bn.

On the show the character, played by Emilia Clarke, is known as the "Mother of Dragons" or the "Queen of Dragons," and is considered by many to be a feminist icon.
Madonna posted Instagram photos of herself all dressed up (see right and below), writing, "Happy Purim!!!!! All Hail All Queens! ##certainty."
The second picture features an unidentified pal wearing what appears to be a shirt over his head with Jesus' face on it.
"Ive got a friend in Jesus! #revolutionoflove," wrote Madge.

Norman Birnbaum on Susan Sontag
Posted on Mar 6, 2009
The journals and notebooks of the late Susan Sontag are in the collection of her papers at UCLA. She left no instructions as to whether or how these should be published, placed no restrictions upon their use. Her son, David Rieff, says in the introduction of "Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963" that he did not wish to leave the task to others. He notes that "as a reader and a writer my mother loved diaries and letters—the more intimate the better. So perhaps Susan Sontag the writer would have approved of what I have done." He has undertaken to edit all of the material she left behind in this form, and this is the first volume. I suppose that she left these accounts of a great deal of personal agony to teach us a lesson, or lessons—not least, of honesty with oneself.
I knew Susan, having met her first with her former husband, the late Philip Rieff, at Harvard in 1957. We saw one another intermittently over the years and for a while we were together on the editorial board of Partisan Review. I also knew—sometimes for better and sometimes for worse—a good many of the persons mentioned in the text, nearly all of them, alas, now gone. David Rieff studied for a year at Amherst College when I taught there, and we are friends. Briefly, I think of myself as part of Susan's extended family.
Working in fits and starts, I put the book down for days and weeks, picked it up again to read another 30 or so of its 300-plus pages, then reverted again to numbed flight. Finally, I read it all again. It was much clearer the second time. Far from blocking her development as a writer, the intensity of her pain may well have moved her forward. She seemed to be living out Nietzsche's claim: Only out of chaos comes a dancing star.
The first entry comes from Susan's 14th year, the last from her 30th. She went from high school in Los Angeles to the University of California at Berkeley, to the University of Chicago, and then to graduate studies in philosophy at Harvard and teaching at New York's City College, Sarah Lawrence and Columbia. At 17, she suddenly married Philip Rieff, an instructor in sociology at Chicago. They lived together in Cambridge (he taught at Brandeis) with their son, born when she was 19. She broke away, spent some time at Oxford and then moved to Paris, decidedly more to her liking. She returned to New York, and gradually freed herself from the constraints of academic life to establish herself as a writer. For a time she was an editor at Commentary, but the book casts little light on the New York intellectuals, just as it is minimalist (perhaps sub-minimalist) in its depiction of the academy.
The text's fragmented contents alternate continuously between accounts of the seeming trivia of daily life and direct expressions of the despair of her soul. In between, she noted books read, concerts heard, films seen—and persons encountered. There are condensed bits of aesthetics, epistemology and metaphysics, short takes on theology and longer ones on ecclesiology. Dreams are recounted, ailments chronicled. Well before Twittering, Susan had mastered the art of collecting the detritus of the day.
Amidst constant inner turmoil, she attracted and kept friends. The references to her mother, sister, stepfather and their conventional Jewish-American milieu are telling. She found them unsupportive because they were uncurious about her wish to move on and away. Political and social commentary (the period spans the Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy presidencies, the Cold War, the civil rights movement and the beginnings of the social protest of the '60s) is conspicuous by its absence.
Direct and sustained description and analysis of any kind are no less conspicuously missing. Much of the world takes form in the text only as a slowly unwinding montage; places and décor succeed one another as if her attention were elsewhere. New York and Paris occasion brief ruminations on the nature of the city, London is left out. There is a reference to architecture on Cambridge's Brattle Street, but nothing on Harvard Square or the Yard. Somehow, she conveys that American and European spaces are different—but not how.
Persons, too, make brief and frequently spectral appearances. We are left to guess why the rest of the world thought some of them colorful—and, often, what they might have meant to Susan. That is not, to be sure, true of all of them. We do have more than a passing impression of her mother—as distant and uncomprehending. Her husband does not come off particularly well, although in his defense it can be said that he never claimed to be a saint and was dubious about that comforting and vague, if positive, term mensch. (The evidence of the journals suggests that Susan was right to claim a considerable part in the writing of his book, "Freud: The Mind of the Moralist.") Her concern and love for her son are unfeignedly evident. She did leave him with his father when she went to Oxford and Paris in 1957, but she reclaimed him afterward and won a custody battle in the courts, of which the journals contain traces. There are, undoubtedly, lessons in domesticity in her life for other women—but she is at no pains to draw these.

Mr. Birnbaum became friends with Susan after she entered college. He therefore didn't know that she moved from Tucson AZ to North Hollywood, California (suburban Los Angeles) before entering high school. Susan graduated from North Hollywood High School and published a reminiscence of that part of her life as "Pilgrimage," in the December 21, 1987 issue of the New Yorker.

Whether he's whetting the appetite for his next album or simply proving that the best things in life really are free, R&B singer-songwriter Miguel has just released the final instalment of his trilogy of Art Dealer Chic EPs.
Like its first and second predecessors, the third volume delivers a three-track snapshot of Miguel's wide-ranging talent. Setting off from a grimy garage rock guitar riff, "Party Life" builds into an energetic dance tune that nevertheless remains tinged with melancholy. By contrast, the bedpost-busting "Ooh Ahh!" condenses a lifetime's sexual tension beneath its aching falsetto vocals. A nice change of pace, "Candles In The Sun, Blowin In The Wind" builds a poignant meditation on social problems around a hard-hitting sample from John Lennon's final interview.
Miguel's third Art Dealer Chic EP is available as a free download here and streams below. [Rap-Up]

Nina reveals her dream of filling Angelina Jolie's iconic boots in a new interview.
It sounds like Nina Dobrev has had her fill of fangs. In a new interview with Ocean Drive magazine, The Vampire Diaries star is asked about her dream acting gigs — and they've got nothing to do with the undead. "I want to do a little bit of everything," Nina says. "My dream role is to do a James Bond film, or if they did another Lara Croft, or even a prequel to Lara Croft, I'd want to do that, to get it out of my system."
Nina in a Lara Croft: Tomb Raider prequel? Let's take a minute to discuss what a brilliant idea that is.
Not only does Nina have the perfect look to play a young Lara Croft, but any regular Vampire Diaries viewer knows she can also kick some serious ass. I hope the right person reads this interview, because it seems like the ideal vehicle for Nina to begin a new chapter in her career.
Until that day comes, however, you can catch Nina on the big screen in The Perks of Being a Wallflower out next month.
Do you agree that Nina would make an excellent young Lara Croft? Vote below, then drop me a comment with more thoughts:

Taking (Healthcare) Matters into your own Hands
Ever considered your own on-site health care facility?
Some companies are taking the healthcare of their employees into their own hands. One is Bremen Castings, a foundry and machine shop in northern Indiana that I plan to visit next week and profile in an article for our May issue.
Company president JB Brown explains that his company opened an on-site wellness center for employees so they will always have access to affordable healthcare. "At a time when more businesses than ever before are looking for ways to cut back on healthcare services to control costs, we have decided to put that service at the forefront for our employees," he says. "In addition, our facility is cash-free, meaning that employees and dependents can receive free generic prescriptions and care." (What's also noteworthy is that the company reached a huge safety milestone this month by going over 1 million man hours without a lost-time accident.)
Similarly, Sunnen, manufacturer of precision honing equipment, established an on-site facility in 2006 as highlighted in this recent St. Louis Today article. According to the company, in addition to its other wellness programs, this has been a factor in keeping costs level and allowing the company to decrease the employee share of co-pays for specialist visits and urgent care.
Email me if this is something you've considered for your business.

Anne Hathaway has shared her sorrow for those affected by the shooting at "The Dark Knight Rises" screening in Aurora, Colorado, that killed 12 and left dozens hospitalized.
"My heart aches and breaks for the lives taken and altered by this unfathomably senseless act," Hathaway, who plays Selina Kyle/Catwoman in the Christopher Nolan-directed film, said Sunday in a statement to Access Hollywood . "I am at a loss for words how to express my sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families."

Hathaway issued her statement after returning stateside from Paris, where Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, canceled the movie's French premiere following the shooting in the early hours of Friday morning.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), which came into force in October 2006, states that the safety of people in non-domestic premises falls to the "responsible person". In summary, as noted in the HM Government publication "A short guide to making your premises safe from fire" (June 2006), the responsible person is anyone who has control of the premises or anyone who has a degree of control over certain areas or systems within the premises.
In respect of residential accommodation, the RRO runs alongside the Housing Act (2004) with regard to fire safety in the common areas of Houses in Multiple Occupancy (HMOs), flats, maisonettes and sheltered accommodation in which personal care is not provided. It is the duty of the responsible person to carry out a fire risk assessment and ensure that its findings are implemented. This will usually be the landlord or, in the case of an absentee landlord, the managing agent of the premises.
Before the local government LACORS publication "Housing – Fire Safety: guidance on fire safety provisions for certain types of existing housing" (August 2008) there were no national guidelines for landlords to enable them to understand and comply with the regulatory framework. Although there is a huge variety of rented housing, and each case has to be considered individually, the LACORS guide is invaluable in setting out the many general issues to be considered in respect of fire safety, one of which is fire doors.
What does a fire door do?
A fire door is designed to i) create/protect an escape route through a building in a fire situation and ii) to compartmentalize a fire to stop the smoke and flames spreading from one section of the building to another. In respect of i) a fire door must be able to open freely, to facilitate evacuation in case of fire, and must not be obstructed. In order to perform its function in resisting a fire, it must also be able to self-close. In respect of ii) where a fire door is deployed in a restricted area that is not usually populated and does not form part of the escape route, e.g. a boiler room, it should be kept locked shut.
What is a fire door?
While any solid door will offer some degree of protection from fire, a certified fire door of timber construction will, when closed, provide resistance from smoke and fire for a minimum specified length of time, typically 30 minutes (FD30). This should, in most situations, allow for the evacuation of the premises and response of the emergency fire services.
This ability to resist smoke and fire is due to the fact that a fire door is not simply a block of wood in a frame, but a complete installed assembly of fire resistant components, including doorframe, hardware (e.g. hinges, locks, latches, etc), panels, glazing (where required) and intumescent seals. Smoke seals should also be fitted, unless smoke detectors are only fitted along the main escape route through the...
building. In this situation, smoke has to be able to reach the detectors in order to activate the fire alarm. Ideally, however, smoke detectors should be fitted in individual dwellings within an HMO, wired into the central fire alarm system. This is because the alarm will sound early in the development of the fire and the smoke seals will protect the escape route from smoke, which poses more of a threat to life and property than the flames of a fire, particularly in its early stages.
A fire door must also have an automatic closing device: it has to permit the free flow of traffic under normal circumstances but must be able to self-close in the event of a fire. Overhead door closers are preferable to the concealed spring door type; the latter are cheap to fit but tenants often remove them, as the torque they exert causes the door to bang shut, which creates disturbance, while also making it difficult to hold open. However, some more expensive concealed door closers control the final shutting movement to improve this issue.
This raises another important issue. Although the practice is frequently observed, it is both hazardous and illegal to prop or wedge a fire door open. Dedicated fire door retainers are a simple, safe and legal alternative. This type of device will hold a fire door open under normal circumstances but will automatically release the door in a fire situation.
Where are fire doors needed?
Typical locations for fire doors in HMOs include stairwells, to protect them from the corridors opening on to them; the entrance doors to individual flats/bedsits; and at the head of the stairs of unoccupied basements/cellars, which often contain electrical/gas apparatus (wiring/pipes, meters, etc) as well as being used as storage areas.
This is not an exhaustive list and each property will have to be assessed both in terms of its individual construction and use; for example, with single household occupancy or in low-risk shared houses, existing doors that are of solid construction and able to self-close may be acceptable. Expert advice should ideally be sought in this regard.
Installation of fire doors
Although a competent professional can install a fire door, it is recommended that the work be carried out under the auspices of the Accredited Fire Door Installers Scheme. This will ensure that the installation is carried out correctly, safely and in compliance with current Building Regulations.©LandlordZONE® – legal content applies primarily to England and is not a definitive statement of the law; always seek professional advice.

Ethelbert's Sunday Afternoon HTML version
He ended the call and threw the phone onto the bed. He ran his hand through his hair trying to gather his thoughts.
After a few minutes of pacing around the bed he picked up the phone and put it into his shirt pocket. Standing up, he
opened the bedroom door and returned to the living room. Julia was stretched out on the sofa with a glass of wine and
a half empty bottle on the floor beside her.
"You'd better not have too much of that."
"Piss off, I'll do what I like."
"Clearly. Okay, just tell me why you had me followed and what this Prenderghast man found, if anything."
"You can't even be bothered to look guilty, can you?"
"I've nothing on my conscience. Look, Julia, I'm not fucking about, this is potentially deadly serious. Please just tell
me what happened."
"I thought you were seeing someone else."
"Why...? Okay it doesn't matter, I'm not and I never have. What did the dick tell you?"
She got up from the sofa and went over to the sideboard. Opening a drawer she removed a manila envelope, threw
it at him and slumped back onto the sofa, slurping at her wine. Matt opened the folder and leafed through the contents.
"Is that it? Five photos of me going in and out of various shops?"
"Yes, but that's enough. Doesn't Ghent look just like Basingstoke high street?"
"If you could crawl out of that bottle for a moment and answer one very important question – is all you know that I
wasn't in Ghent when I said I was?"
"You lied to me."
"Okay, we'll deal with that, but first I have to make another call."
He took out his phone and pressed a few buttons.
"No it's fine, all she knows is that I wasn't in Ghent. Ghent, it's in Belgium. That's not important, it's all fine because
there are only a few photos of me in Basingstoke. No, nobody else, just me going in some shops in the high street...
Nobody could possibly work out anything from that.... No, it's fine, I'll deal with it." He paused in disbelief. "What do
you mean you've already sent out a team – surely you're joking?"
He glanced at Julia who was half dozing on the sofa, a nearly empty wine bottle cradled in her lap, seemingly
oblivious to his conversation.
"Look, she's half pissed, she won't remember a thing. I'll come up with a convincing story, that's my fucking job,
The sounds of running feet and shouting could be heard on the stairs.
"I'll get you for this you arsehole!" he hissed, dropping the phone on the sofa and reaching into his jacket pocket.
"Don't do the door..." he shouted just as the front door flew off its hinges and five men with machine guns ran in and
immediately begin searching the kitchen.
"We're in here, you fuckwits, there's nobody else in the flat."
He held up the ID. in his wallet and the lead gunman screamed into a headset mic.
"Abort search!"
"Thank you, Tony. You can all fuck off now, there is no situation here."
"Pardon me, sir, but what about the woman?"
Matt looked around to see Julia, now very much awake and with an expression that suggested she was quite keen
on receiving an explanation of why five armed men have just kicked her door down.
"Ah. Shit. Okay, there wasn't a situation until you clowns turned up. Five of you? For one primary school teacher?"
"Just following orders, sir," said Tony.
"I know; I'll strangle Donaldson when I see him."
"Would you like me to do that for you, sir? I've been on a course in strangling."
"I'm sure you have, but that won't be necessary, tempted though I am.
"Excuse me," said Julia in a menacingly quiet tone.
Matt nervously turned his attention back to her.
"I can explain."
She sat up and fixed him with an expectant glance. He looked at Tony and the other four, who were all either staring
fixedly at the ground or suddenly finding something of interest in another part of the room. He looked over at the
splintered remains of the front door. He looked back at Julia.
"Give me a few minutes."
Ten minutes later he sat on the sofa beside her and took a deep breath.

Vanishing Acts
For a dozen or so lean but happy years - from 1980 into the early 1990s - I was a regular book reviewer. I could try to fancy that title up, and call myself a book editor (which I was, for the Spectator in Raleigh) or book critic (which I guess I was, for WUNC-FM in Chapel Hill); but, in fact, I was just a reviewer, reading and writing about books on a pretty-much weekly basis, which seemed like a wonderful fate for a former English major. Early on though, I had the panicky realization that I couldn't keep up with all the new books I wanted to: I had to be selective, to focus my reviewing attention somehow. And that's when the literary gods smiled on me, because I was lucky enough to be living in a place - North Carolina in general, the writer-rich Triangle in particular - that was beginning to explode with first-rate literature, fiction and poetry that needed somebody local to pay some attention to it. As a native Tar Heel and young writer myself, I was delighted to do so.
Once I thought I had discovered my specialty as a reviewer, I had my second uneasy insight: this new wave of North Carolina writers was so prolific, there was no way I could keep up with all the books they were producing. It was like trying to jot notes during an avalanche or tsunami, or (in Tar Heel weather terms) a hurricane or tornado, a truly overwhelming outpouring of novels and short stories and poems and nonfiction. I've heard this period described as "North Carolina's literary renaissance," but that term seems too mildly Latinate for such a cloudburst, such a flash flood, such a landscape-altering surge of contemporary writing.
The fiction-writers led the way, of course. From Thomas Wolfe and O. Henry on, North Carolina's best-known authors have written novels and short stories, and that tradition continued in the 1980s, with well-established authors like Reynolds Price and Doris Betts and Fred Chappell as well as newcomers like Clyde Edgerton, Kaye Gibbons, and Jill McCorkle - the latter three all published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, a significant force in the outburst. Many of those writers were anthologized in "The Rough Road Home: Stories by North Carolina Writers" (University of North Carolina Press, 1992), a volume which confirmed that something very substantial indeed was going on in our literary state. But valuable as that book was, the Tar Heel fiction scene was so vigorous that editor Robert Gingher couldn't possibly cover it all, even with 22 stories: due to space restraints and other factors, he had to exclude a number of fine authors. And North Carolina short story writers continued to flourish during the rest of the 1990s, so much so that - already - another anthology is called for.

There's something essentially hipster about appropriating one of New York City's oldest, most ornate skyscrapers as a plaid wearin', whiskey drinkin', vinyl spinnin' hookup hotspot.
On Thursday night the Wooly club in the lobby of Manhattan's Woolworth building (c. 1913) played host to a Bushmills whiskey "Since Way Back" promotional party, opening its vaulted mosaic ceilings and marble mezzanines to a tide of beard scruff, bow ties and horn-rimmed spectacles. The "Since Way Back" campaign has been open in its targeting of young hipster demographics, dispersing event invites on Polaroid pictures, snagging endorsements from Bon Iver (Justin Vernon "hosted" Thursday's party and could be seen strolling amongst the tipsy masses) and commissioning Elijah "Please Don't Call Me Frodo" Wood and former Devendra Banhart tour manager/occasional motion picture music consultant Zach Cowie (aka Turquoise Wisdom) as official party DJs, performing under Wooden Wisdom.
While attendant hipsters caroused in the Wooly's three finely furnished rooms, swigging complimentary Bushmills cocktails from mason jars, chomping on complimentary sliders and trying on fake mustaches in an insta-hipstamatic black-and-white photo studio, Wooden Wisdom set up shop in a modest corner papered with a magazine cutout collage of flowers, lips, thighs and eyes. Wood wore a checkered forest-green sport coat and grey striped button-up while he leaned in close to the turntables, stood back to clap in satisfaction and indulge periodic visitations from starstruck partygoers. The lanky, long-haired Cowie, meanwhile, wore a dark blue cardigan, matching T-shirt and permanent, ear-to-ear smile while he sifted through a bottomless crate of soul, funk and folk-rock records.
Together, Wooden Wisdom spent the night on a retro kick, spinning a mix of crowd-pleasing oldies (Steeler's Wheel's "Stuck In The Middle With You," a funkified version of the Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction") and deep soul and funk cuts that schooled everyone in the room on true vinyl hoarding swag. Obscure but awesome selections included the clap-happy "New York Groove" by glam rockers Hello, the chunky hip-twistin' party anthem "Cruiser's Creek" by the Fall and Plastic Bertrand's French punk-meets Beach Boys "Ca Plane Pour Moi," built around an idiomatic French expression that basically means "It's all good for me." Sussed on free whiskey, sliders and celebrity, nobody in the lobby of the Woolworth Building Thursday night could deny Bertrand's prognosis.

In the fall of 2009, on the advice of a lawyer, a young police officer named Adhyl Polanco started wearing a recording device during roll call at his precinct in the South Bronx, one of the poorest congressional districts in the country. Among the contents captured over a couple of months of secret tapings was repeated instruction that officers complete "20 and 1." According to testimony from the union delegate whom Polanco had captured on tape, that meant officers were required to fulfill 20 summonses and make one arrest within 20 to 22 days of patrol--regardless of whether they reasonably suspected criminal activity was taking place. According to the federal judge who this August ruled the New York Police Department's practice of stop-and-frisk unconstitutional, Polanco's evidence helped provide "a rare window into how the NYPD's policies are actually carried out." And thus, she continued, "I give great weight to the contents of these recordings." The price for Officer Polanco, 33, however was steep--and he's still paying for it, today. After a decade on the force, the last three of which he has been in a kind of blue-walled purgatory, Polanco says he looks forward to ultimately leaving the force, fishing and spending time with his three young boys. Colorlines caught up with him at his new precinct, "five tolls and $22.50 one-way from my home," he says, in a Brooklyn neighborhood with eight storefront churches on the next block up. Polanco only had an hour so we talked in his parked car, outside the precinct in full view of officers gathering outside or walking by.
How do you feel being known as a whistleblower?
I don't like it. It's not an encouraging word. It's kinda deteriorating, derogatory to call somebody a whistleblower because it doesn't fully describe what the person did. It's like when you work in an office, you do work--but somebody calls you a paper pusher instead of a secretary. It's not the right word to describe the courage it takes for a police officer to come out from under that much fear and tell the truth. But it is what is.
You're still a police officer but you haven't been in uniform for a few years now. What do you do now?
I'm in a box. I work in a little sub-station where my job is to look at video from cameras in the projects for eight hours and 23 minutes a day. I'm in a little tiny room, I have no gun, no shield. It's punishment. I'm getting second looks from cops because they know whoever's in that unit is not in good standing. Before this assignment, I was suspended with pay for two-and-a-half years. That happened a day after I was deposed [by plaintiffs' lawyers] for the stop-and-frisk trial.
What happened in 2009 to end you up here?
I started the whole stop-and-frisk thing from the inside. I don't want to brag about it, but no cop has ever done what I did. Before July or August 2009, [my precinct] wasn't as obsessed with the numbers and repercussions were minimum if you didn't hit the target. By Aug 2009 though they wanted "20 and 1"--and one of the commanding officers now said it was nonnegotiable. It was out of control. So I started to be vocal in roll call, asking my supervisor why we were doing this. I wrote to Internal Affairs expressing my concern about the racial profiling and [soon after] I was suspended for three days without pay. After being punished repeatedly, I put the recordings out to the news. Darius Charney at the Center for Constitutional Rights saw the story on Channel 7 and he called me. He told me at that time he had a lawsuit [and*] asked if I wanted to be part of it and I said, "Why not?"
You didn't have to think about it?
Oh. Hell no. And he was surprised, too. He said, Are you sure? I say, Yeah, let's go. In April 2010 I give the deposition and a day later when I get back to work I get suspended, no reason given. They sent me to Internal Affairs every day to sign a piece of paper and go home. They didn't give me a reason, they only tell me it came down from the commissioner's office.
I knew the cost of speaking out was very high. It's unheard of, going against the culture, the blue wall. At that time, [Officer Adrian] Schoolcraft had come out. [Officer Frank] Palestro had come out. We had the same stories and they all got buried.
Do you think NYPD is a racist organization?
There's still a lot of racism in the police department. When they see somebody in the projects doing whatever, they call them savages. I been with white cops and I even hear, "Look at the fucking savage." That's how they refer to black people: savages. It bothers me a lot.
To that point, outgoing mayor and police commissioner Bloomberg and Kelly point to the NYPD being a lot more diverse. For example, it's 1/3 Latino now. Some people might ask, how can it be racist?
If I give you a job to look at that tree right there [Polanco points]--and you're black, Chinese, whatever, you're still gonna' watch that tree. You can change the people in the department but until you change the nature and the culture, you're still doing the same thing.
You grew up in Washington Heights, a Dominican immigrant enclave located just north of Harlem. Do people in the old neighborhood know you're a part of this big case?
Not a lot of them know. They don't care. Spanish people, they don't want to deal with police. They don't want to talk against police. They're more focused on daily life. More focused on, "If I don't get in to work today I'm not going to have money to eat tomorrow." It's a different way of seeing things.
Sounds like you understand.
Yeah, I definitely do. But, somebody has to step up. Crime was off the bazoo when I was growing up. The day we don't have a shooting, something was wrong. And yet where I lived I didn't have any interaction with the police. Because they knew who the dealers were and they knew who was working people. They distinguished between drug dealers and people who were living their lives.
And that distinction's been lost?
You have a lot of criminals in the South Bronx and they're all black and Hispanic; I'm not going to argue that. But the problem is not whether you stop black or blue. The problem is whether you stop innocent black or criminal black--or [as a cop] you don't even know the difference [between the two]. The NYPD says, the community is 90 percent black: How're we not gonna stop black? That's their argument.
I've heard some blacks and Latinos say the same thing, especially about young black men.
There's [some] of black people that when slavery was over [were] opposed to the end of it, too. We're not ready for freedom, they said. And everybody's entitled to their opinion. But speak for your freedom, don't speak for mine.
Are you against stop-and-frisk?
I'm not against stop-and-frisk. I'm a cop. And I'm Hispanic. But every person you touch that you're not supposed to touch, that you violate, it's a mistrust you're leaving for the next cop coming behind you. Bloomberg and Kelly want us to trade our freedom for safer streets. There's no connection between the two and numbers show they don't match.
How did you feel when Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled stop-and-frisk unconstitutional, based in part on your testimony and secret recordings?
I felt good. But I didn't want to overreact. [Outgoing mayor] Bloomberg's a very powerful man in terms of money and he knows a lot of people..
There're a lot of ways to protest. You could just leave the job.
Do you believe in independence?
What do you mean?
This country is independent right? If they quit we wouldn't be sitting here today. Quitting is not the option. Quitting doesn't make changes. Dr. King didn't quit. Many people had to fight and stand up for what they believe for us to be sitting here. Quitting, that's a very troubling word. If we quit, quit don't bring changes. Leaving the job is something that I'm definitely [pauses] I'm strongly contemplating. But quitting, no. Quitting mean it's OK what they did and I don't have what it takes to bring it out. And they expected that. They expected for me not to fight. They expected for me to give up... and then they would've kept on doing what they doing.
It's not easy. But I do have my kids. No matter what, my boys are there. But I've been through a lot. They've done everything possible to discourage me. But I'm not leaving. Bloomberg and Kelly are. But I'm not. I haven't done anything wrong.

Other than Burgundy, Pinot has been successful in areas like
and lately, New
Zealand - the Central
Otago region to be exact. Burgundian Pinot Noir typically offers flavors and aromas
of red fruit, summer pudding and baking spices. As the wine matures - and great
Burgundies are able to do so for years - the flavors become more like the earth
the wine comes from- mushrooms, truffles - and the wine gains tremendous complexity.
Pinot Noir from the new world like Oregon and California typically exude stronger
fruit intensity. Some are able to reach a high level of complexity, structure
and age. Others are wonderful for drinking now with a myriad of foods. Many
may wax poetic about this grape, the reason being that Pinot Noir produces an
amazing contradiction in wine - something so delicate and subtle, yet powerful
and mesmerizing.

A 25-year-old woman has accused Los Angeles Kings star Drew Doughty of sexually assaulting her at his Hermosa Beach home in March, police said Tuesday.
The woman reported the alleged "date rape" on March 1, when she said Doughty forced her into a cab outside Baja Sharkeez in Hermosa Beach, took her home and sexually assaulted her, police said.
Hermosa Beach police Sgt. Bob Higgins confirmed a TMZ.com account that said the woman told officers that Doughty bumped into her in the bar and invited her back to his home.
According to the account, the 22-year-old defenseman was embarrassed in front of his teammates when she rejected his advances, calling him an a------.
The woman told police Doughty then shoved her into a cab, took her home and sexually assaulted her, Higgins said.
He said Doughty told detectives the sex was consensual.
"His story is minus the wrangling and the forcing," Higgins said. "It's `they met in a bar and they partied together, they went to his house and it was a one-night stand kind of thing."'
During an interview, Higgins said, a detective asked the woman what punishment Doughty should receive.
"She said, `I don't want him to win the Stanley Cup,"' Higgins said.
Three months later, the Kings went on a dramatic run through the playoffs to win the 45-year-old franchise's first National Hockey League championship.
The District Attorney's Office is reviewing the case to determine whether charges will be filed. A decision could come as soon as Wednesday, police and prosecutors said.
Doughty's attorney, Craig Renetzky, declined to discuss specifics of the allegation.
"It's under review by the District Attorney's Office," Renetzky said. "We expect a decision in the next few days."
The 22-year-old defenseman, originally from Ontario, Canada, played in 20 games during the Stanley Cup playoffs, with four goals and 12 assists. The Kings captured the championship last week over the New Jersey Devils.
Doughty was a first-round pick by the Kings in the 2008 entry draft, and the second pick overall.
Doughty also won a gold medal playing for Canada in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Here's what I know as of Tuesday morning regarding receiver DeSean Jackson and the Redskins:
There is not yet a deal, according to multiple sources. But to say it doesn't look promising for the Redskins would be wrong. Very wrong. However, I've seen them close to making other big acquisitions over the years only to lose out at the last minute (Jay Cutler, Eddie Royal). So until a contract is signed, nothing is done. Various reports out of Philadelphia have called it a done deal (97.5's Tim McManus and ABC-6's Jeff Skversky). Skversky caught up with Jackson at Dulles airport. Perhaps that's what Jackson is telling people. Royal told people the same thing a couple of years ago. So did Cutler. Hence the caution.
Would I be surprised if it doesn't happen? At this point, yes. And I think those who have spent time around Jackson in the past few days would say the same thing. One person said he was very confident it would happen.
Jackson will visit Redskins Park Tuesday and meet with the coaches and members of the front office. He dined with some of the coaches Monday night.
Though I wonder if this is a unanimous decision in the organization, I was told that coach Jay Gruden really wants Jackson. I was also told that Jackson was very, very high on his desire to join the Redskins. When both sides really want something, it's the first, second and third steps toward making that happen. But even the person who said Jackson was that high on the Redskins acknowledged that the money had to be right. So desire won't trump all.
There is a great deal of excitement by the players over Jackson's potential arrival and what could be done in this offense. There's a sense by some that Jackson is driven as much by his late father as anything and that he's not as bad as portrayed.
And the addition of safety Ryan Clark adds even stronger leadership in the locker room to help diffuse any potential situations. Some things always pop up, but some players need more attention.

STRAMMFEST. Schneidekind.
SCHNEIDEKIND. Yes, sir.
STRAMMFEST. Have you sent my report yet to the government? [He sits down.]
SCHNEIDEKIND [coming to the table]. Not yet, sir. Which government do you
wish it sent to? [He sits down.]
STRAMMFEST. That depends. What's the latest? Which of them do you think is
most likely to be in power tomorrow morning?
SCHNEIDEKIND. Well, the provisional government was going strong yesterday.
But today they say that the Prime Minister has shot himself, and that the extreme
left fellow has shot all the others.
STRAMMFEST. Yes: that's all very well; but these fellows always shoot
themselves with blank cartridge.
SCHNEIDEKIND. Still, even the blank cartridge means backing down. I should
send the report to the Maximilianists.
STRAMMFEST. They're no stronger than the Oppidoshavians; and in my own
opinion the Moderate Red Revolutionaries are as likely to come out on top as
either of them.
SCHNEIDEKIND. I can easily put a few carbon sheets in the typewriter and send
a copy each to the lot.
STRAMMFEST. Waste of paper. You might as well send reports to an infant
school. [He throws his head on the table with a groan.]
SCHNEIDEKIND. Tired out, Sir?
STRAMMFEST. O Schneidekind, Schneidekind, how can you bear to live?
SCHNEIDEKIND. At my age, sir, I ask myself how can I bear to die?
STRAMMFEST. You are young, young and heartless. You are excited by the
revolution: you are attached to abstract things like liberty. But my family has
served the Panjandrums of Beotia faithfully for seven centuries. The
Panjandrums have kept our place for us at their courts, honored us, promoted us,
shed their glory on us, made us what we are. When I hear you young men
declaring that you are fighting for civilization, for democracy, for the overthrow of
militarism, I ask myself how can a man shed his blood for empty words used by
vulgar tradesmen and common laborers: mere wind and stink. [He rises, exalted

We are performing studies looking at smooth muscle migration and proliferation in cells that have been either inhibited or deficient in cPLA2. We are measuring the amount of macrophage inflammation that effects smooth muscle cells proliferation and intimal hyperplasia during restenosis in the femoral artery of mice deficient in cPLA2. We hypothesize that cPLA2 is a key component in the chemotaxis of macrophages which drives the inflammatory process in restenosis as well as being needed for smooth muscle cell proliferation.
