Everton 3-2 Newcastle
- From the section Football
Everton's unbeaten start to the Premier League season continued as they moved up to fourth with an excellent display against Newcastle.
Loic Remy's late strike ensured a nervy finish for Everton, who deserved the win after taking a 3-0 first-half lead.
Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring at the near post and prodded in the third, either side of feeding in midfielder Ross Barkley for his well-taken goal.
Yohan Cabaye's superb shot made it 3-1 before Remy poked home.
The French striker then almost levelled for the Magpies with a stoppage-time strike that flew just a foot above the Everton bar.
Had he scored and rescued a point for Newcastle, it would have been a bitter and unjust blow for Everton, who were outstanding, especially during the first 45 minutes.
Roberto Martinez's side were sharp, showed great movement and closed down the opposition superbly.
And they remain unbeaten in the Premier League under the Spaniard, who succeeded David Moyes in the summer, ahead of a trip to Manchester City on Saturday,
Their first goal came after five minutes when Belgium international Kevin Mirallas left Newcastle full-back Davide Santon trailing and sped down the right flank before delivering a low ball for compatriot Lukaku. The 20-year-old, on loan from Chelsea, produced enough power with his strike at the near post to beat Tim Krul.
Everton came close to doubling the lead straight from the restart, when Barkley's snap-shot whistled past the left-hand upright.
The England international was on loan at Sheffield Wednesday last season, but has been given a key role in midfield this season by new manager Martinez.
And the 19-year-old made Newcastle duo Moussa Sissoko and Cheick Tiote look like sluggish veterans.
The Everton youngster scored his side's second with a well-placed finish from 15 yards after Lukaku showed both his physical superiority and craft in one move to turn his marker and set up the chance.
The first two goals came as a result of poor defending, and the third was no different.
This time, goalkeeper Tim Howard's long kick was misjudged by Fabricio Coloccini to allow in Lukaku, who got the faintest of touches to push it past Krul and walk the ball into the empty net.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew made two changes at the break, replacing Hatem Ben Arfa with fellow midfielder Cabaye and centre-back Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa with Mike Williamson.
One of the changes had an immediate effect for the Magpies. Moments after the restart Yoan Gouffran saw his dinked effort come off the post before Cabaye, who did not start because of a groin problem, smashed a fantastic 25-yard shot into the top corner.
Newcastle's purple patch lasted 15 minutes and they had another spell of pressure very late in the game.
Remy, one of Newcastle's better players on the night, beat Everton captain Phil Jagielka to Mathieu Debuchy's header into the six-yard area and poked the ball beyond Howard.
The France striker, on loan from QPR, then saw his powerful drive fly a ball's width over the bar.

DOE: Bus Routes Covered When Students Return to School
The Department of Education is assuring parents that normal bus service will continue for all students following the closing of Atlantic Express bus company and its affiliates, which include Amboy Bus Company, Staten Island Bus and Atlantic Queens Bus.
"I am writing to confirm that there should be little or no disruption to school bus service when school resumes on January 2; all bus routes previously serviced by Atlantic will now be serviced by other companies," said Alexandra Robinson, executive director of the Office of Pupil Transportation, in a memo to school staff.
Thousands of families started the winter recess uncertain of how their children would get to school after the New Year. Atlantic has operated about 1,500 bus routes serving approximately 40,000 school children. The company filed for bankruptcy in November and later announced it would cease operations on Dec. 31.
The new companies will cover the routes for at least the next 18 months, according to the Department of Education. Parents can look up which company will cover their child's route and confirm route numbers. The Office of Pupil Transportation said that in some instances the bus driver or bus matron may be new to the route.
If a bus is late, parents should contact the Office of Pupil Transportation at 718-392-8855.

Expect More from Your Gluten-Free Certification Program
By design, the best value in gluten-free certification programs. Our program differentiates gluten-free products which offer individuals more control over their health.
A major consumer magazine rated the CSA Recognition Seal program the top gluten free certification program
David Sands, PhD, Plant Pathologist, Montana State University, assesses a test plots for new crops. His team developed an oat variety that may prove to be absent of any celiac toxic amino acid sequences. The only validation available now is expensive mass spectromitry.However, gene mapping promises the development of gluten-free wheat, barley and rye.
Animal breeding has developed a grass-fed Angus breed, Lowline, that produces tender cuts of meat.
AgEagle is a promising drone robot that can be programmed to monitor ag fields for disease, insect infestation, weeds and nutrient content. Future drone programming could eliminate cross-contamination in the field.
Testing companies have noticed the interest in the gluten content verification and are developing new tests to meet consumers' and producers' requests.
In order for products to qualify under the CSA Innovation Category, companies must be able to validate that their processing procedures have removed the offending amino acid sequences from the wheat, barley, rye or common oats used in their product which adversely impacts those with celiac disease. The verification must show the final product has less than 5 ppm quantifiable gluten. To date, no research implicates any specific toxic fraction of wheat, barley, rye or oats for those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
Labeling of products which contain barley and hops ingredients are regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and carry the statement: "Product fermented from grains containing gluten and crafted to remove gluten. The gluten content of this product cannot be verified, and this product may contain gluten."
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) May 24, 2012 ruling reiterates the pre FDA Food Allergen Act of 2004 definition of gluten-free equals "none." The TTB will likely review the current rulings in light of the FDA gluten-free regulation that replaces zero "free" and allows gluten (below a 20 ppm level for a legal gluten-free claim.) Links to both TTB press release and TTB complete 2012 ruling, and the February 2014 Ruling. In April, the FDA is expected to define the qualifications for reduced gluten products that are hydrolyzed or fermented.

Gluten-Free Testing and Gluten-Free Certification Program of Celiac Support Association
Click the individual logo to visit company website. Provide feedback.
Since 2004, products bearing the CSA Recognition Seal represent a critical review of the company's manufacturing practices and procedures to reduce risk for celiac and gluten sensitive customers. In addition to testing products with the strictest testing methods in the industry, the CSA Recognition Seal indicates the company's commitment to communicating product information to the consumer.
CSA Recognition Seal products are tested using the most sensitive ELISA and other relevant validated tests available in the United States. ELISA testing must show a product is at less than 5 ppm -- additional verification testing may be required depending upon the type of food. Testing validates the commitment of the gluten-free producer. Companies must submit the analysis of ingredients and manufacturing procedures (HACCP) to assure the products meet the requirements for the CSA Recognition Seal.
The CSA Recognition Seal provides the customer with additional information to use when managing their personal food choices.
Your Products Belong Here
The source ingredients are listed by their common name rather than the term gluten-free, the CSA certification program suitable for a wide range of products.
Future Innovation: Innovation in agriculture, processing and testing are encouraged.
CSA encourages advances in commercial testing procedures to detect gluten.

Coachella 2013 lineup: Let's hear it for the ladies (slide show)
Check out the female forces to be reckoned with at the Coachella 2013 festival.
Click to the next image to see the women who will be rocking the stage at the Coachella 2013 festival.
Sundays April 14 and 21
Origin: Montreal, Canada
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
Don't be fooled by Claire Boucher's alias, Grimes—far from sordid, her output tends toward dreamy, floaty, dancey soundscapes, especially when her sighing voice comes in. Aside from her fastidiously fractured synth-pop (check out Visions, a widely acclaimed recent effort on 4AD), this Montreal auteur is active in dance, film and visual art. Should make for an extremely au courant and compelling live show.
Janelle Monáe
Saturdays April 13 and 20
Origin: Kansas City, KS
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
The striking, diminutive, vertical-haired Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and dancer—who hails from Kansas City, was mentored by Big Boi and guests on OutKast's Idlewild album—has made quite a splash. Expect to hear much of her adventurous and highly-funky debut LP, The ArchAndroid, as she veers from R&B to rap, doo-wop, psych-folk, jazz and disco.
Download The ArchAndroid on Amazon
Download Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition) on Amazon
Fridays April 12 and 19
Origin: Toronto, Canada
Previously played Coachella: 2006, 2008
This Canadian band, formed in Toronto in 1998, wavers between indie rock and new wave. They self-released their 2009 LP, Fantasies, and sold over 500,000 copies worldwide without the help of a record label, which is pretty badass. Expect to hear some Fantasies cuts, as well as newer tunes off the band's 2012 album, Synthetica.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Fridays April 12 and 19
Origin: New York, NY
Previously played Coachella: 2006, 2009
Powder keg frontwoman Karen O and New York's favorite art-punk alt-poppers are prepping the April release of Mosquito, their first formal LP since 2009's It's Blitz! Amongst their hefty stable of hits, expect to hear a few new ones, including Mosquito's gospel-tinged first single, "Sacrilege." Yeah Yeah Yeahs are never less than spectacular live, so stake out your spot near the stage for the band's third appearance at Coachella.
Download new single "Sacrilege" on Amazon
Download It's Blitz! on Amazon
Tegan and Sara
Fridays April 12 and 19
Origin: Calgary, Canada
Previously played Coachella: 2005, 2008
Canadian twins Tegan and Sara return to SoCal with their winning brand of indie pop—all layered vocals, scuzzy guitars and tempered angst. They'll be treating the festival audience to tunes from their seventh album, the acoustic guitar and synth-driven Heartthrob, released in late January.
Bat for Lashes
Saturdays April 13 and 20
Origin: London, England
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
Career longevity hinges on reinvention, and art school refugee Natasha Khan knows this. As Bat for Lashes, the London songstress was at the top of the dream-pop tide not so long ago, leading a wave of new artists paying belated homage to Kate Bush and Stevie Nicks with shimmering sound washes and wardrobes to match. Bravely forgoing trendy pop machinery, Bat for Lashes shows us she's still a step ahead of her peers with 2012's The Haunted Man, and hopefully with an impressive live festival show.

Download Two Suns on Amazon
Deap Vally
Sundays April 14 and 21
Origin: Los Angeles, CA
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
This female rock duo met in a needlework class in Silver Lake, hit it off, and now produce bluesy, alt garage rock that sounds a bit like the music of Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and Jack White of the White Stripes—if Dan and Jack bonded over fiber arts, that is.
Download "Gonna Make My Own Money" on Amazon
Download "Ain't Fair" on Amazon
La Roux
Sundays April 14 and 21
Origin: London, England
Previously played Coachella: 2010
As with many of today's gifted pop starlets (we're looking at you, Gaga), La Roux frontwoman Elly Jackson has cultivated an image that seems carefully designed to overshadow her catchy if rather conventional music—in this case: chilly, retro synth-pop. Still, behind the gravity-defying red tresses and androgynous getups is a very human performer with a powerhouse voice.
Jessie Ware
Sundays April 14 and 21
Origin: Oban, Scotland
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
This pretty British singer-songwriter has been likened to Adele and Sade, and many call her debut album, Devotion, one of the best of 2012. Unfortunately, she may be better known for her illegal sampling of rap legend Big Pun's track "100%," which she has since had to remove from her work. Oops.
Download Devotion on Amazon
Download If You're Never Gonna Move EP on Amazon
Saturdays April 13 and 20
Origin: London, England
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
This all-female post-punk rock group, formed in 2011, hails from London and brings with it their native land's gritty take on punk rock. These ladies offer up intense performances, for lack of a better word, and their Saturday sets are not to be missed, if you're into that sort of thing.
Maya Jane Coles
Sundays April 14 and 21
Origin: London, England
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
London's Maya Jane Coles doesn't have the star power of the many headliners in this fest's lineup. Yet. The talk of the scene, for those bowled over by her heavy-hitting deep tech-house offerings, she's easily one of electronic music's most rapidly ascending stars.

How to Destroy Angels
Fridays April 12 and 19
Origin: Los Angeles, CA
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
How to Destroy Angels—Trent Reznor, Mariqueen Maandig and Atticus Ross—released its self-titled six-song debut EP in 2010, and their newest, Welcome Oblivion, in March. They have an eerie tone with a heavy industrial sound reminiscent of NIN, only now with a female vocalist, and percussion sequences that are sure to get stuck in your head. Listen now or save yourself for their Friday sets.

Fridays April 12 and 19
Origin: Minneapolis, MN
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
These hotly tipped vocoder-heavy Minneapolians recall trip-hop's heyday with their Portishead-like beats and Channy Leaneagh's vocals drifting hazily overhead. The internet is awash with hype from Bon Iver and Jay-Z alike over these electronic, R&B-influenced indie rockers.
Download Give You The Ghost on Amazon
Download Dark Star Remix EP on Amazon
Saturdays April 13 and 20
Origin: Berlin, DE
Previously played Coachella: First-timer
Cassy (from Berlin's beloved Panorama Bar) works her deep-house magic for the dance floor. There are few artists more beloved on the techno scene, and Cassy (who has apparently dropped the "Britton") doesn't disappoint fans, with incredible live shows infused with her ever-soulful vocals.

We've Never Seen Anything Like This Before!
Check out this new video from filmmaker Anthony Cerniello (which can be viewed below) is so striking. It shows a girl slowly and almost imperceptibly aging decades in about four minutes.
"Danielle," embedded below, was produced with a team of animators and a still photographer, Keith Sirchio.
Set to a somewhat eerie soundtrack by Mark Reveley, it shows a young Asian girl gazing into the camera, only blinking occasionally, as she slowly matures and gets older.
Her face becomes longer, her bone structure more defined, and then her skin and hair show signs of age as she seems to enter the middle years of her life.
Last year, Cerniello attended his friend Danielle's family reunion. He and Sirchio took portraits of her relatives of all ages with a Hasselblad medium-format camera. After scanning the negatives, they chose those relatives with similar bone structure to create a rough aging continuity.
Animators Nathan Meier and Edmund Earle then knitted the images together seamlessly, with 3D visual-effects artist George Cuddy putting the finishing touches on the remarkable transformation.
"I attempted to create a person in order to emulate the aging process," Cerniello, a music video and commercial editor, writes on his Vimeo page. "The idea was that something is happening but you can't see it but you can feel it, like aging itself."
Check out the results in the video below, and watch it all the way through to get the full effect.

Today, humanity displayed how sad it really is when Facebook decided to crash. According to the Guardian, Facebook users, instead of switching off their computers, went to other social networks like Twitter and Google+ to check why Facebook was down.
Here is the traffic going to Facebook:
And here is the traffic, at the same time, on Twitter:
I've been off Facebook over a week at this point and absolutely do not miss it. It's understandable that people do not want to disconnect from Facebook because of the contacts they've accumulated on the site, this coupled with the ill-imagined assumption that people outside your close circle of friends and family talk to you on Facebook, makes it difficult to leave.
I'd been wanting to delete Facebook since around 2010, when Diaspora* was released. Diaspora* is a privacy oriented network which conceived the notion of 'aspects', a feature galvanised (and stolen) by Google+ when it introduced 'Circles'. There was a decent amount of press given to Diaspora* including on the BBC, but since the inception of Google+, I think it was robbed of it's thunder.
Fast-forward to 2013, June. Edward Snowden's leaks have been revealed to the world via the Guardian and privacy becomes the main issue for some, sadly a minority, of users. After months of experimenting with secure messaging and emails, and encrypting devices, the healthy dose of paranoia that I possess lead me to the revelation that only a minority of people talk to me on Facebook, and I could contact them by other means, so I stopped being a used (term courtesy Richard Stallman) and deleted myself from Facebook. Of course, I still have to encourage people not to add new photos of me to the network to aid Facebook's shadow profile on me.
I encourage all readers to delete their Facebook accounts. Explain to friends what Diaspora* is, use Twitter, set up GnuPG, set up OTR messaging. While Facebook does monitor, and keep all your private chats, listen to your music and TV programmes, make shadow profiles, sells your data, follows you around the net, uses you as a proxy to rat on your friends and reads your text messages (More here), state surveillance still remains a bigger threat to personal freedom and liberty. The only way to stop illegal spying is by using encryption technologies that is libre software, governments can write all the laws they like, agencies are partaking in ILLEGAL spying.

Mistrial Declared in Silvestri Murder Case
He's accused of murdering a UF student three years ago. Today Frankie Silvestri waited to find out whether a jury would convict him. After two weeks of testimony, and a full day of deliberation, Silvestri is still waiting. After ten hours of deliberation, the jury finally reached a decision. They decided, not to decide. It was a hung jury.
Silversti was found guilty on two of the charges, the arson and tampering with evidence charge. But when it came to the murder charge, the jury just couldn't make a decision. They were finally excused at 6:50 p.m.
Prosecutors say this means they have to do the whole thing over again. "In some ways we're frustrated with that but we can understand the tough job that a jury has to do in a very serious charge like this," said Spencer Mann with the State Attorney's Office. "So we understand the difficulty sometimes in reaching a decision on this case."
So after two weeks worth of testimony and evidence, both the prosecution and defense are back to the drawing board. The focus now is on the murder charge.
the jury can find Silvesti guilty of 1st degree murder, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, or can find him not guilty at all. The judge says they'll pick this up again on November 6th, where they'll hold the pre-trial conference for the first count.

Any big data or analytics conversation would be remiss without the mention of "data scientists." Much has been written about data scientists– who they are, who they should be, and where to find them. My colleague James Kobielus wrote an interesting series of blog posts about the skills required to become a data scientist.
From a customer intelligence (CI) perspective, we outlined four segments of CI professionals — marketing practitioners, marketing technologists, marketing scientists, and customer strategists. Of these, marketing scientists typically orchestrate the customer and marketing analytics function. They manage the reporting, analysis, and predictive modeling processes using marketing and customer data.
In a CI context, we find that the role of the marketing scientist has evolved from being a pure data analyst drowning in data analysis to that of an analytics translator — someone who is equally comfortable with building advanced predictive models and also adept at embedding the output of the models into customer-facing processes. What type of marketing scientist does your analytics team have?
We recently published a report on why "Customer Intelligence Needs A New Breed Of Marketing Scientist" (accessible to Forrester clients). In the report, we highlight ways to develop analytics translators across the staffing cycle — starting from attracting the right talent, nurturing the relevant skills, training with new skills, and incenting them based on business impact.
Posted by James Kobielus on February 23, 2012
Is big data just more marketecture? Or does the term refer to a set of approaches that are converging toward a common architecture that might evolve into a well-defined data analytics market segment?
That's a huge question, and I won't waste your time waving my hands with grandiose speculation. Let me get a bit more specific: When, if ever, will data scientists and others be able to lay their hands on truly integrated tools that speed development of the full range of big data applications on the full range of big data platforms?
Perhaps that question is also a bit overbroad. Here's even greater specificity: When will one-stop-shop data analytic tool vendors emerge to field integrated development environments (IDEs) for all or most of the following advanced analytics capabilities at the heart of Big Data?
Of course, that's not enough. No big data application would be complete without the panoply of data architecture, data integration, data governance, master data management, metadata management, business rules management, business process management, online analytical processing, dashboarding, advanced visualization, and other key infrastructure components. Development and deployment of all of these must also be supported within the nirvana-grade big data IDE I'm envisioning.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the über-IDE should work with whatever big data platform — enterprise data warehouse, Hadoop, NoSQL, etc. — that you may have now or are likely to adopt. And it should support collaboration, model governance, and automation features that facilitate the work of teams of data scientists, not just individual big data developers.

(split 2233)
Engineer Olson was a Starfleet officer, and chief engineer of the USS Enterprise in 2258.
In that year, the Enterprise engaged in battle with the Romulan mining vessel Narada, which was drilling into the planet Vulcan in an attempt to deploy a small amount of red matter into the planet's core. As the operation of the Narada's drill blocked all of the Enterprise's transporter functions, Olson, along with James T. Kirk and Hikaru Sulu, were assigned to space jump from an Enterprise shuttlecraft to the Narada's drill platform, and subsequently use a series of explosives to disable it.
Commencing with the space jump, both Kirk and Sulu pulled their parachutes approximately 2,000 meters from the platform, but Olson, in an attempt at thrill-seeking, continued to free-fall, pulling his chute at the last possible moment, when he was almost directly over the platform. As a strong gust of wind caught his chute, Olson slammed into the platform, and was pulled over the side. Unable to fight against the force of the gusts, Olson was pulled, along with his chute, directly into the drilling beam, and was instantly incinerated. As Olson was carrying the charges meant to disable the platform, Kirk and Sulu were forced to improvise, using disruptor rifles to complete the mission instead. Montgomery Scott replaced him as chief engineer shortly before the Battle of Earth. (Star Trek)

Background information Edit
Olson was played by Greg Ellis.
Olson spoke with a northern English accent typical in the Manchester-Lancashire area of the UK.
He was the first Enterprise "redshirt" to be killed in the film; the script even refers to him as "Red Shirt Engineer" several times. [1]
There was a Cadet "Olsen" serving aboard the USS Enterprise in the script of unmade movie Star Trek: The First Adventure, which – much like the film Star Trek – would have been about the Academy days of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.
Apocrypha Edit
In the novel The Gemini Agent, Olson, misspelled Olsen, is the chief engineer of the USS Farragut in 2255 during Starfleet Academy's Zeta Fleet Training Exercise.

Ed Board Round-Up: Do Your Job Senate GOP
Wednesday, February 17
It took only a couple hours for the death of a sitting Supreme Court Justice to become a political volleyball, spiked by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's declaration that the "vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
Maybe Mitch McConnell isn't totally aware of the Presidential and Senatorial duties laid out in the Constitution. Maybe he doesn't know how long a presidential term is. (Here, Mitch, we have a video that explains the whole thing!)
But Editorial Boards from across the country know how it works, and they're pissed. Here's what America is saying about Senate Republicans' deliberate obstruction of process on Supreme Court nominees:
Miami Herald: Sen. Mitch McConnell's act of contempt
There is no point in decrying the politicization of the judicial system in recent times. That ship sailed long ago. But it's one thing for lawmakers explicitly tasked by the Constitution to offer "advice and consent" to nominees for "judges of the Supreme Court" (Art. II, Sec. 2) to decide against someone for any reason, or none at all - and quite another to say they're not disposed to consider anyone named by the sitting president.
Madison Cap Times: Ron Johnson and GOP Candidates assault the Constitution
Yet Republican senators responded to the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia by proposing to shred not just the Constitution but precedents that date from the earliest years of the American experiment.
That would leave a vital position vacant for a year, which is absurd.
Of course, there is no notion too absurd for Johnson, who quickly echoed his boss.
NJ Star-Ledger: Republicans shouldn't play chicken with SCOTUS seat
This tramples on the Constitution that Antonin Scalia - the conservative diety who died Saturday - lived to defend. It also shows that GOP Senators, who have turned obstructionism into a dark art, would rather rewrite that Constitution than affirm their oath to uphold it.
Concord Monitor: In high court fight, Ayotte is just wrong
Ayotte's hastily issued statement, echoing what is now her party's line, says no decision should be made until the people speak by voting in November. But the people had their say when they re-elected Obama and when, in this case, they voted for Ayotte. She is not expresing the will of her constituents but the will of her party.
Philly Inquirer: Antonin Scalia and the limits of ideology
Rejecting or ignoring a qualified nominee would be much more difficult and potentially embarrassing to the Senate than claiming that some time-honored maxim won't allow it to fulfill its constitutional obligation until next year.
Chicago Sun-Times: Support Supreme Court hearings, Sen. Kirk
There are times in politics when, no matter what you decide, you're going to get hammered. For Kirk, this is one of those times. He might just as well be a statesman.
WV Register-Herald: Playing games with court vacancy
Thank you, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, for once again confirming our worst fears about politics in our country. Your hypocrisy and cynicism know no retreat. But we would remind you, Senator, that the American people did have a voice. Twice.
Seattle Times: U.S. Senate needs to do its job on Supreme Court nomination
Thomas Jefferson and Scalia would've snapped their foreheads at the "delay, delay, delay" tactic endorsed by the leading GOP nominee for president, Donald Trump - which is itself a head-slapper of a phrase.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinal: President Barack Obama, Senate should do their duty
As much as Republicans may wish it were not so, the Constitution still says that presidents serve four years - not three - and it remains silent on when a president becomes a "lame duck."
Greensboro News & Record: Supreme opposition
Someone could just as credibly argue that Burr, who's running for re-election this year, should leave important votes to whomever the people of North Carolina choose for his seat in November. But that's absurd. Burr was elected to a full term; so was Obama.
Minneapolis Star Tribune: Both Obama, Senate must do their duty in filling Scalia's seat
McConnell knows well that presidents can and do make appointments in their final year. He voted for one in 1988, when he joined with a Democratic Senate to confirm Anthony Kennedy in President Reagan's last year in office.
Omaha World-Herald: Constitution sets the process
Originalism is a sprawling set of legal theories with all kinds of ramifications that should be considered carefully. But one need not embrace the theory to understand the Constitution's succinct and straightforward language about filling Supreme Court vacancies.
Fargo InForum: Get moving on high court nominee
Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution is clear:
"... and he shall nominate, and by the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint... Judges of the supreme Court..."
Shall nominate. Shall appoint.

Flurries, flooding and high wind for central Indiana
A few flurries are possible through midday as highs eventually top out in the low 40s today.
Wind gusts up to 50mph will be likely, that's why all of Central Indiana is under a wind advisory until 7pm.
Even though we're drying out from last night's storms, flooding remains a concern, especially along area rivers. Flood warnings will likely remain in effect through the beginning of the weekend.
Thursday Indianapolis hit 61 degrees, we won't see warmth like that in the 7 day forecast.
In fact, we cool down below normal, and more chances of snow enter the forecast. Saturday night into Sunday we may see a dusting, but that's still to be determined.
Much colder temps take over the forecast next week. Highs struggle to reach the low 20s with overnight lows in the teens.

A benefit for Gina, Amanda and Michelle
(Brooklyn)- Clear Channel Media & Entertainment along with WKYC and LaVilla Event Center are hosting a community benefit "Call to Courage" Thursday to help Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.

LaVilla Event Center 11500 Brookpark Road in Brooklyn has donated their facility and services for the benefit and party 411 events helped plan the events.
Music will be provided by singer and pianist Mike Petrone and Monica Robbins and the Ninja Cowboys will be playing a mix of rock, 80's and country. Local singer/songwriter Ashley Nemeh will also perform a song written specifically to honor these three young women.
A number of restaurants have donated food like Johnny's, Georgetown, Triv's and numerous others. Tickets can be purchased at the door. General admission is $20 and includes heavy appetizers and soft drinks. A cash bar with wine and beer is also available. Parking is free.
Dozens of area businesses have donated items for a silent auction and raffle including concert tickets and meet and greets with Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, Luke Bryan and Rascal Flats.

New Mexico Telegram » Featured, Roundhouse » DPA poll shows support for marijuana legalization
DPA poll shows support for marijuana legalization
A poll commissioned by the Drug Policy Alliance, a pro-marijuana legalization organization, showed that a majority of New Mexicans support legalizing marijuana. The poll also showed a majority of New Mexico voters indicated support for reducing the penalties for possession to just a civil penalty and a fine.
The bill was conducted by Albuquerque firm Research & Polling, Inc. The firm is best known for its polling for the Albuquerque Journal.
The eye-popping number is that 52 percent of registered voters support legalizing and taxing marijuana. This is opposed to 40 percent who oppose it.
The poll finds that 57 percent of registered voters either strongly favor somewhat favor reducing the penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana. Meanwhile, 38 percent either strongly oppose or somewhat oppose a reduction in penalties.
The polling memo is available below thanks to Steve Terrell at Roundhouse Roundup (NM Telegram requested the polling memo but did not receive it).
Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, is proposing a joint resolution that would call on voters to decide whether or not to add marijuana legalization to the state constitution.
Rep. Emily Kane, D-Albuquerque, has a bill in the House that would reduce penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana.
Other interesting numbers from the crosstabs:
- A state representative candidate supporting a legalization effort would make no difference to 34 percent of voters, make 32 percent more likely to vote for that candidate and make 28 percent less likely to support that candidate.
- A plurality of voters (40 percent) say that it would not make a difference if a state representative supported or opposed reducing penalties for marijuana possession. Meanwhile 30 percent said supporting the reduction of penalties would make them more likely to vote for the candidate and 23 percent said they would be less likely to vote for the candidate.
- Democrats and independents were more likely to support legalization than Republicans. Nearly two-thirds — 63 percent — of Democrats polling expressed support for legalization and 50 percent of independents. Meanwhile just 38 percent of Republicans said they would support legalization.
- The youngest voters were also the most likely to support legalization. The poll found that 65 percent of 18-34 year olds supported legalizing and taxing marijuana. This is compared to 55 percent of 35 to 49 year olds, 50 percent of 50 to 64 year olds and 35 percent of those over 65.
- Hispanics supported legalization by a 53 percent to 36 percent margin. Anglos supported it by a 50 percent to 44 percent margin.
The poll of 514 registered voters has a 4.4 percent margin of error.

Bar40 Sweet Bitters
- 100ml (3.38 oz.) bottle
- Product of Canada
Sweet perceptions are usually regarded as pleasurable, easily detected and hard to suppress. Bar40 Sweet Bitters are complex and easy to use. Add this to help suppress overly sour or bitter cocktails. Sweet helps round-out cocktails by cutting initial harsh tastes and adding body.
Add it to salty cocktails making for a well-loved balance of sweet and salty.
Bar40 bitters is doing something revolutionary to define themselves in the craft cocktail bitters space. We met them at Tales of the Cocktail 2015 and did a little tasting. Don't confuse 'sweet' with sugar syrups, sweet bitters lend a delicate sweet touch and compliment other flavors on the palate by are not overly sweet (otherwise they'd not be considered a 'bitter).

Case and metal working
I've recieved my aluminium pieces from a metal supermarket and I'm quite disappointed to the finish on the cuts. The cut sides look like a tile that as been scored and snapped.
Anyway, it looks like I'll have to triim them down and wanted to know the best way to do this as I've never done any metal work before. I've got a cheap router on a very crude diy table, and a table saw. Can I use a normal tct router bit or the standard blade that came with my table saw? Which would I get a better finish with?
Also, can anything be done about the scratches on the pannels?
Max pannel thickness is 6mm and material is aluminium or copper.

Eeek, no dont use router bits... esp as i imagine they are for woodwork.
I dont quite know what would happen (i havnt tried it), but i dont think you would like the results.
Just use a simple hand file.
Copper and Aluminium are quite easy to file by hand.

I would say get some sandpaper and alot of elbow grease. You can get rid of the scratches, and leave a nice finish starting with 220 grit paper and working up to 600 or so. Get the wet/dry stuff and sand the panels under running water to keep the sandpaper from clogging. It shouldn't take too long to get what you want.

I used a carbide tipped saw blade on my table saw to cut aluminum for an amp case. Generally I would make an rough cut, about 1/16" oversized, and then take a second pass to remove the final material. Light sanding cleaned up the tool marks left by the carbide.

of course another option is to go to a local machine shop and ask them to cut for you... I had a similar problem last year when I ordered from onlinemetals.com. I had the panels cut and brushed for $20US and did the rest of the machining myself...

Don't use table saw or router, if you don't have experience with working on metals, the finish won't be good anyway. Easiest way to finish edges is by using belt sander and 100-120 grid paper. If not available, use a wooden block, sanpaper and your hands. Sometimes additional board helps in guiding your block to achieve straight lines. Using soap as lubricant helps too.
Do something really well. See how much time it takes. It might be a product, a work of art, who knows? Then give it away cheaply, just because you feel that it should not cost so much, even if it took a lot of time and expensive materials to make it. - JC

I've recently invested in a myford lathe, pillar drill press, and scroll saw with full intent of learning to work with metal
I do have a belt sander, but I think there may be more than just sanding work required on this job as some of the pieces haven't even been cut square or perfectly straight. I've never purchased from a raw metal merchant before so I don't know if this typical.

You have a proper blade, so it's a first step. Cutting aluminum is not that much different than wood, so if you feel up to it, go for it. Just use safety glasses (they really neccessary) and make sure your hands are never close to work piece.
Here's how I do it: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...ht=#post376414

Before anyone tries power tools on metal, I really believe they should learn how the material reacts to hand tools. While the techniques are all similar, I have to say that when aluminum decides to resist, it is a different animal than wood or even steel.
IME, use a good 18 tooth hacksaw for most cutting, then use finer and finer cut files shape it down. Watch the "heat" or you end up with "melted" material on your files. If you have a band saw or scroll saw, even better. I've never tried a table saw on aluminum... the risks of "binding" seem too high. If you use the correct type of good quality blades and files with good bite, it shouldn't take much longer than power tools and there is much less risk of injury.
If the surfaces are scratched, there is probably nothing you can do to restore the original mill finish. But you can always give it a "brushed" look by sanding it in one direction only. Don't go back and forth. The aluminum will self-anodize after a time.
Those who claim to be making history are often the same ones repeating it.

For rough finishing, a ******* mill file is my tool of choice. Where a different shape is needed (say, concave curves) a different shaped file is needed.
From there, I occasionally move to some light work with 120grit emery paper, lots of water. Normally, straight from the file to 220, 400, and 600. 600 gives a really nice satin finish, and can be buffed to a nifty sheen with scotch-brite - again, lots of water. You can go to a standard bobbing compound buff from 600 grit as well. If you want flat, get yourself a sheet of 1/4" or thicker glass and place the wet paper on it (grit side up, of course).
If you have experience working with very hard woods on your TS, you'll find it machines similarly to aluminum with one key difference - heat changes the size of metal. The key is to take your time. Heat is your enemy in a very big way, so taking the cut really slow is good (heat can cause it to bind faster than you know how to say aluminum through your stomach). Aside from shape, heat also makes aluminum gummy. I recommend wearing long pants and shirt. Gloves are quit useful if they fit close enough for you to be able to know what's going on. Full eye protection is a must (I use a full face shield) The metal shavings can do *severe* eye damage if one but gets caught in a corner.
FWIW, you can get results as good with hand tools as with power tools, and it only takes a little more time. I don't like working metal with a power sander at all.
edit: one comment - aluminum will NOT self-anodize. It will certainly patina, which can have a very similar result visually. (all metals do this btw - it actually provides a barrier, so constantly polishing the silver is technically NOT the best way to get it to last, but it sure looks purty).

Home > Book Reviews > I-M
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. I LOVED this book about a young girl growing up in rural England dealing with her conniving older sister. It is a delicate and well-written story that is a good pre-cursor to Nancy Mitford, E.F. Benson or Barbara Pym.
I Have Chosen to Stay and Fight by Margaret Cho. Half autobiographical, comedic essays, half lefty political call to arms. Well-written, fun and intelligent, it didn't inspire me to go out and change the world, but it did have me nodding in agreement.
I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just Not You by Roger J Pearman and Sarah C Albritton
What's wrong with everyone else? I'm normal–they're the weirdos, right? Yes and no. This is a new edition of an invaluable resource for those wishing to learn more about themselves or the people with whom they interact. I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just Not You covers everything from relationships with your colleagues to your relationship to yourself. It's the sort of book one keeps to hand for those dire circumstances where your normality butts heads with someone else's normality. Eminently useful.
I'm a Stranger Here Myself by Bill Bryson. Bryson was born and raised in America, went on to live and prosper in England for twenty years, then upon returning to his homeland he found a few things had changed. Some in a rather drastic fashion. This book is a collection of humorous essays documenting his observations on the discrepancies between Americans and the English. Originally intended as a guide for the British visiting the US, it is also quite informative and riotously amusing for Americans. Eng|Trv|Hum
Ice Haven by Daniel Clowes. Review here .
The Ice House by Minette Walters. The first Walters book I read and I was hooked! An intriguing plot along with convincing characters and fast pace. Very English, but in my opinion that's only a plus. Reading this book was the first thing I did once I acknowledged my Anglophilia—I went out and bought it along with Walters' first four novels when I received the VHS of The Ice House for Christmas.
In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson. Hysterical, droll and educational. I do not think Bryson can write a bad book. This time he sets off across Australia, which seems to have around nine billion ways to kill a person.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. This was the first true crime book read and I believe it was the book that made true crime novels popular. I thought that the idea of Capote retracing the steps of a couple of notorious killers would detract from the story, but he's such a great writer that I didn't notice—he allowed the story to have first billing, which was the perfect thing to do, as the story alone was enough to keep a person up half the night.
Inexcusable by Chris Lynch. Kier is a good guy. He plays football and soccer well enough to be noticed by college scouts, he loves his two older sisters and can't wait to go to the same college they do so they can live together again and his best friend is his dad. Kier knows right from wrong and when someone he loves gets hurt he feels just as badly as if he were the one injured. So he can't understand why GiGi Boudakian is saying what she's saying he did. Because good guys don't do what she says he did. And Kier is a good guy. Yeah, he knows how to party, but he knows when enough is enough and he loves GiGi Boudakian. He's loved her since they were six. He couldn't have done what she says he did to someone he loved…In this young adult novel, Kier narrates the story of his last year in high school and all the events leading up to the night in question, when Killer Kier (so named because of an accident on the football field) finds out that sometimes the way we see reality isn't the way it really is. A provocative story about something that happens more frequently than we'd like to admit. Recommended for fifteen and up, this would be an excellent book to stimulate discussions in the classroom or with teens in your family.
When I heard this was a book about date rape from the rapist's point of view I was hesitant to pick it up—thinking the author would try to make us feel sorry for the protagonist, but instead Lynch gives a believable portrait of a young man who believes he can do no wrong. At first, I was livid, but eventually I came round to think this book should be read by every teenager—male and female.
'The Infernal Desire Machines of Angela Carter' by Jeff VanderMeer. Review .
The Inner Circle by TC Boyle. This is a fictionalised account by one of Professor Kinsey's protégés and is so engrossing it's difficult to keep in mind that on the whole it actually happened. Boyle captures the 50s beautifully and by the end the characters were some of the most well-drawn that I've read, though not necessarily people I'd like to know. Yes, it's about sex research, but it's not at all salacious. Boyle had a case of over-blown prose in the first fifty pages, but it cleared up after that (thank goodness).
Inseparable: Desire Between Women in Literature by Emma Donoghue. Whether the relationship is sexual or passionately platonic, the bonds between women can be unbreakable. This is a quite good (and a little exhausting) survey of the variety of women's relationships as presented in literature. It's probably a bit too academic for a general audience but a must have for women's or lesbian studies. (Another review here .)
An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears. Set in 1660s Oxford, this is the sort of book that draws you in. 'Atmospheric' is the best word to describe this novel about a woman who is (perhaps unjustly) tried and hung for the murder of a don and we see the events before and after the murder from several sources…the end was a genuine surprise. Pears captures the turmoil of a country only just out of civil war, the particulars of English society and the superstitions of the day. I read this while in Oxford, but would have been just as captivated if I'd read it at the beach.
Instances of the Number Three by Salley Vickers. When Peter Hansome dies he leaves behind a wife, Bridget, and a mistress, Frances, who wind up being friends, and it just gets more complicated and entangled from there. Vickers is adept at conveying the myriad ways people become involved in one another's lives. An enjoyable, light read, that does not lack substance.
The Interpretation of Murder by Jeb Rubenfeld. [FotC] An excellent book to kick off your autumn reading— Based on Sigmund Freud's only trip to the U.S. (which left him calling Americans 'savages' amongst other choice phrases) this is a literate murder mystery set in Victorian New York high society. Someone is offing young women, but one of his victims survives. The problem is she can't remember what happened. The good news is that Dr Freud is just off the boat from Europe and he has created something called psychoanalysis that might help the girl remember who attacked her. The real life events meld seemlessly with the fictional (though Rubenfeld separates the two in the endnotes for the curious). Meticulously researched, this is an unputdownable novel with breathing characters, a fast-paced plot and intelligent dialogue.
Inventing Elliot by Graham Gardner. Elliot transfers into an exclusive private school, determined to put his dark past behind him. Things are not as they seem at Holminster High and the boy who was once ridiculed and tormented by his peers is suddenly offered the chance to see life from the other side of the fence and be one of the Guardians—a group of boys who keep the other students in line. An interesting and sometimes disturbing look at how a person can re-invent himself given the proper motivation.
Invitation to a Beheading by Vladimir Nabokov
The first dream-fiction of Nabokov's I've read. Usually I don't have much patience for this sort of thing—nothing is nailed down and the entire story is fiction anyway so why bother, right? This one was quite well done, though. Our protagonist, Cincinnatus C, is convicted of agnostic turpitude, which is never defined, but which is held to be an atrocity. So much so that the punshment for it is beheading. Cincinnatus spends the novel in his cell with a spiderweb and next to no lighting. He makes friends with his new neighbour, who then tries to dig an escape tunnel…that goes into his [the neighbour's] own cell. At this point we find out the neighbour is really an employee of the state and has been hired to befriend and bemuse our protag. Charming. Cin's in-laws arrive (carrying all of their furniture) and abuse him—his wife more interested in her 'friend' she's brought along with her. At the end, he realises everything is in his mind and he simply makes everything disappear.
A Judgement in Stone by Ruth Rendell. Review .
Kafka: A Very Short Introduction . Review .
King, Queen, Knave by Vladimir Nabokov Obsessive love again, but this time, the man loses interest faster than in the other Nabokov novels I've read. A bored housewife seduces her penniless nephew and forms a plan to kill her husband so as to have all of his money. The nephew comes to the city and happens to share a train car with them—neither know this, though. From first glance, Franz is captivated by his aunt. His uncle, Dreyer, is boisterous and goofy, giving the boy money and a job. Because he first saw that boy as an idiot and he never allows later evidence to cloud a perfectly good fallacious first impression, it does not occur to him the two are having an affair. The woman is the villian this time around—Franz simply going along with what she wants because he doesn't know how to extricate himself from the situation. After much research into methods of murder on the aunt's part, and a few failed attempts, all three go on a trip to the seaside where the unswimming uncle will be drowned. he's saved at the last moment, but the day out in the boat kills the aunt. Franz is driven mad by the pressure.
The Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler. Review .
Lapham's Quarterly, Winter 2013. Death Issue. Review .
Laughter in the Dark by Vladimir Nabokov
Nabokov loved the cinema and wanted this story to be turned into a film and it shows—the scenes are very cinematic. The story is of a man who finds himself attracted to an usherette at a local movie house. They have an affair and it's the ruin of him (pretty typical Nabokov—obsessive love that drives one or both people involved crazy). One thought that went through the protag's mind on more than one occasion was the clear-minded thought that if his mistress were cheating on him he'd kill her. To keep with the cinematic theme—his mistress fancies herself an actress and manages to get a role in a film. She's absolutely appalled at how bad she is in the role and has her lover buy and destroy all the copies. This is another of Nabokov's common themes—that people do not see themselves the way others do and are incapable of doing so.
'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving. Review .
Lifeguarding by Catherine McCall. [FotC] There's a vicarious thrill when a friend gets published by a big name publisher. There's an even greater thrill when you read your friend's book and don't have to find a nice-sounding way to ask, 'And HOW did you get published?' I'm happy to say I can recommend this honest and well-written memoir of growing up in a tumultuous family and the process of finding her true self. McCall shows that a person growing up in something of a battlefield need not repeat that behaviour as a grown up. Her writing makes the moment immediate—I could feel the cold of swimming in sixty degree weather and the heat of the oppressive summers, as well as the tension of being raised by adults who are trying to do their best, but with troubles of their own. McCall has written an ultimately uplifting memoir about the ties that bind amongst adversity and shows that the pain of truth is far better than the burden of maintaining secrets. Catherine McCall grew up in the Ohio Valley and has lived in Wilmington for thirteen years, where she is in private practice.
Lifted by the Great Nothing by Karim Dimechkie. Review .
The Little Black Book of Short Stories by AS Byatt. Not up to par for the writer of Possession. I liked the first story—sort of a grown up fairy tale—and the fourth story, which was about a creative writing class. The third story was about a woman who slowly turned to stone—it made me nauseated so I didn't finish it. The second story was interesting in a sterile way; the characters didn't engage me at all. And I didn't understand the point of the fifth story. Byatt was trying for grotesque and achieved it on the whole, but it simply wasn't her best work.
The Little Book of Neuroses by Michael Thomas Ford. The fourth in his 'My Queer Life' series. Very Funny, although not as much so as the first or second books.
The Little Friend by Donna Tartt. The Secret History is one of my favourite books, ever, so it would have been difficult to impossible to top it, but I enjoyed it. The ending was disappointing in that, I was expecting some great literary twist that explained everything and got something more like French films, where they just stop with no closure.
Locke & Key by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez: Review
Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde. Hysterical and literate. The sequel to The Eyre Affair and it's even better than its predecessor. I love the entire concept of book jumpers and being mentored by old-timers like Miss Havisham, who, by the by, made the book for me.
Lying Awake by Marc Salzman.
This book is a lesson in spare but full writing. At 192 pages it can be read in an afternoon, but Salzman manages to capture an entire world inhabited by breathing characters. The story centres around Sister John of the Cross—a Carmelite nun living in a monastery in Los Angeles—who writes poetry about her visions of God. When she's diagnosed with epilepsy she has to decide if she wants to give up the headaches that lead to her visions. I read this as I was reading Unveiled: The Hidden Lives of Nuns by Cheryl Reed, which made a great companion book.
Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs.
This collection of essays is far less harrowing than his memoir Running with Scissors, but no less well-written and entertaining. From a psychotic housekeeper to a horrific dentist appointment Burroughs makes the everyday amusing. One of my favourite chapters concerned the consequences of publishing a memoir—people feel it's all right to share the intimate details of their horrific childhoods. After recounting one such public confessional Burrough said, 'That's the sort of thing you don't tell anyone. Even your therapist.' Highly recommended.
The Man in the Queue by Josephine Tey. A man is seemingly killed in a crowded queue outside a theatre in front of a whole line of witnesses. My first Tey—the sort of mystery novel where nothing is what it seems. The plot takes us from London to a remote town in the Scottish Highlands (a particular favourite part) and involves mistaken identity and forsaken love.
Mary by Vladimir Nabokov
Nabokov's first novel (1926), about a young Russian emigre living in a boarding house in Berlin who discovers one of his housemate's is married to his first love. She's set to arrive in a few days and he spends the interceding time revisiting their affair. The night before he arrival, he gets the husband drunk and goes to the train station with the plan to take Mary away so they may live happily ever after. On the way there he realises their affair is in the past where it should stay and instead he boards the train to somewhere else to start anew. Typical Nabokov theme of pure, true, first love and sex. The descriptions of the boarders and the house were grotty and real—very well done.
Mary George of Allnorthover by Lavinia Greenlaw. I enjoyed this one very much. The protagonist reminded me of me, if I lived in England in the seventies, kind of awkward and pale and not really fitting in anywhere. It goes on like a character study for a while so the ending was quite a surprise. A quirky snapshot of provincial England with seventeen-year-old outcast Mary George trying to figure who she is and her proper place in the world. With wonderful nuances and layers, you can almost feel the heavy air on your skin and her desperation to get out of the small village she has spent her entire life in. Beautiful in a painfully accurate way.
The Match Girl & the Heiress by Seth Koven. Review .
A Meddler and Her Murder by Joyce Porter. Absolutely hysterical! The second in the series about the Honourable Constance Morrison-Burke, the spinster daughter of a peer with far too much time on her hands who decides to be a private detective—and nevermind that she has no training whatsoever. Hon. Con lives with her friend Miss Jones—the relationship between the women isn't clearly defined, but that only makes it more interesting.
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Review .
Monster: Oil on Canvas by Dmitry Zlotsky. Review .
The Moving Toyshop by Edmund Crispin. Richard Cadogan stumbles upon a body in the small hours in an Oxford toyshop. He goes to the police only to find that not only has the body vanished—so has the scene of the crime! What follows is a literate, rollicking mystery. Great fun! And it has one of my all-time fav lines: 'It'll be better if we talk about the same thing at the same time—this isn't a Chekhov play.'
Mr Phillips by John Lancaster. Odd English novel that reminded me of Sue Townsend. An interesting portrait of one man's life.
Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Ah, Woolf, I love the way she uses language, to make you look at the world in a way you never had before—that is what great fiction does.
The Mummy at the Dining Room Table by Jeffrey Kottler. Fantastic, a collection of the most bizarre cases seen by eminent psychologists. People are so weird.
Murder Being Done Once by Ruth Rendell. Once again I am impressed with Rendell's ability to create atmosphere. This is a gripping, fast read. Her descriptions of the mausoleum and cemetery are breathtaking.
My American Unhappiness by Dean Bakopoulos
The excellent My American Unhappiness is about a regular guy, Zeke Pappas, who runs a not-for-profit that's funded by a closeted homosexual Republican who is under suspicion by a shadowy arm of Homeland Security. Zeke's mother is dying and he can only keep the nieces he's helping to raise–since the untimely deaths of his brother and sister-in-law–if he gets engaged before she dies. He has a list of four prospective wives and part of the story is how he tries it on with each of them (I was wary how that would go, but Bakopoulos handled it deftly). Zeke is also working on a project called the Inventory of American Unhappiness, which is a modern day chronicle of why Yanks are discontented with their lives. It sounds like a lot to be getting on with, but Bakopoulos (who reminds me a Charles Baxter) pulls the strings like a pro. The end is realistic and satisfying, which is something rare in contemporary fiction. Highly recommended–I read it in one sitting.
My Wars Are Laid Away in Books: The Life of Emily Dickinson by Alfred Habegger. Review .
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon. Very Good. A portrait of a first summer after finishing college. This was his first effort and worth reading, but Wonder Boys is still my favourite.
Mystics, Mavericks and Merrymakers by Stephanie Levine. Levine lived in the Crown Heights Lubavitch community for a year and a half to find out what Hasidic girls' lives were like. Well-written—if occasionally long-winded—Levine came to some interesting conclusions. Particularly how single sex environments encouraged girls to be more independent than co-ed environments. Very informative.

My sisfur Minky II and I had a lovely 12th Birthday yesterday! The weather was perfect so we lounged about in the garden in ther morning and then Mum gave us each a new catnip toy! Mine is a mousie and Minky's is a little teddy bear!
We didn't have a birthday tea in our honour 'cos neither of us are too keen on anything other than our dry and wet cat food. I think our brofurs and sisfurs were disappointed but we'd rather have a new toy each!!
Thankyou to our furriends in Pawsitive Pawsee for the Birthday wishes and to Humphrey and Roger for our beautiful chocolate strawberry cake and also for the delish shrimpies for us both - we've never had those before and loved them!!

Sorry I haven't updated my diary for a while - it's meowmy's fault - she always seems to be busy these days!
A very belated thankyou to all kitties who sent me get well wishes when I was ill in August and I'm sorry I didn't let you know how I was going on!
After 2 courses of antibiotics and 3 long-lasting injections I finally started to pick up (after 4 weeks) and started eating more instead of just having an odd kibble and drink and started to play instead of just lolling about everywhere. I went for my final check up at the vets and was very pleased that my chest was now clear and my temperature back to normal. My lovely vet said he didn't think I needed blood tests now that the swelling in my lymph nodes had gone - oh boy, was I relieved.
Because I felt so poorly for 4 weeks my meowmy didn't try to brush or comb me and let me rest. I have the kind of fur that knots up if I just roll over and my coat got into a real mess! It's taken meowmy 4 weeks to get my fur looking good again - endless teasing and brushing and she even had to cut some lumps of fur out rather than hurt me by tugging at them. Luckily my bald patches don't show up much and are covered by my long fur! The worst part was the big knots under my armpits (ouch) but they are finally out and it feels so much better!
From Tigger's meowmy: Even after all the pills, injection, trips to the vet, coaxing hin to eat and drink and continually trying to get his knots out, Tigger remained the gentle, loving boy he is. He never bears grudges and is always ready for a stroke and a cuddle. At one point I thought I was going to lose him he was so poorly and I could sense the vet was very concerned. It was such a nasty relentless virus/infection and seemed to take such a long time for Tigger to show any signs of improvement. He is still light in weight and hasn't put enough weight back on yet - but he's getting there!
I'd like to thank all my friends for my concatulations and also for my Get Well wishes. They have really brightened my day! I'm not feeling too well at the moment. I'm on my 2nd course of antibiotics and my worried meowmy is hoping they will soon kick in and I'll feel better. I hope so too 'cos if I don't start eating more and liven up by Monday meowmy's taking me back to the vets for blood tests.
Meowmy would like to thank all my friends for my febreeze collars and the get well wishes and lovely pictures with them. They have brought much joy!
Also, my sisfurs and brofurs have all received lots of febreeze collars with lovely messages and pictures and meowmy is sorry she can't reply to you all personally just yet, but she's going to try over the next week or so.
Thankyou ALL - We love you.
