Six of the best gadgets and gizmos on a theme. This week: Six of the best laptops.
By Peter Jenkinson
Anytime, anywhere
Microsoft Surface Pro 2 (128GB) - £715, from amazon.co.uk
More impressive than the touchscreen devices that purport to be tablets and laptops, this one actually manages to retain the robustness of the latter yet the ultra-portability of the former. It isn't any slouch under the bonnet either; processing speeds are slick, memory size impressive and free cloud data space comes with purchases. You can also convert this to a desktop style device with speakers, full-sized keyboard and more.
Big bite
Apple MacBook Pro With Retina 15-inch - £1,699, from store.apple.com/uk
There is one thing near-guaranteed when you open this miracle in front of you; owners of any Apple product will slip you the cursory approval (and perhaps envious) glance. The intense pixel display (5.1 million of them) is an utter joy, while inside the model is a top-class 2GHz quad-core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of flash storage. Its slim, svelte and undoubtedly the one to beat.
Small screen
HP Chromebook 11 - £249.99, from amazon.co.uk
This budget-end notebook trades under a slightly different moniker since its lowly internal memory of just 16GB lends it to more of a note-taker style. You can, though, take to the various number of cloud networks to expand your memory over WiFi, which to be honest might be more suitable and safe for valuable data anyway. Also available in a 14-inch screen version.
Screen saved
Samsung ATIV Book 9 - £579.95, from johnlewis.com
This Windows 8 loaded laptop offers ease of access using regular routes, but the touchscreen enables you to move around at hyper speed - well, with some practice at least. An extraordinarily thin and lightweight machine with a seven hour(ish) battery life, processing speeds of note and 128GB of memory. A very decent everyday machine.
Luxury laptop
Acer S3-391 Ultrabook- £859.98, from amazon.co.uk
This highly crafted aluminium outer-shelled computing device aims to set its stall out against the Apple offering, but the screen resolution just doesn't quite match up. What does tick a very big box though, is how this uber-slim laptop has a whopping 500GB of memory somehow shoehorned in it, alongside a decent stereo speaker set.
Another way
Sony Vaio Multi-flip - from £709, from sony.co.uk
For anyone looking for something a little different, this new breed of machines from Sony will make you smile - even if you're only a small percentage geek. A perfectly engineered motion will take this from slick looking laptop to touchscreen tablet, and it is, of course, pretty impressive in other performance areas (like HD graphics) too.
App of the week
Wordeo - free on iTunes and coming soon to Google Play
Fancy a new and exciting way to stay in touch with your nearest and dearest? Give the Wordeo app a whirl. Type away and let the app magically transform your text into a short video clip complete with soundtrack. It uses the picture library of Getty Images and then recognises the words to find a clip.

London (Jul. 12)
The three-man mission sent here by President Truman to discuss implementation of the recommendations of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine arrived here today from Washington in a U.S. army plane.
The mission, which was accompanied by about a dozen aides, consisted of Henry Grady, Goldthwaite Door and Henry Gaston, alternates for the Secretaries of State, War and Treasury, respectively. They were met at Bovingdon airport by officials of the U.S. Embassy and left immediately for London.
This afternoon they called on Prime Minister Attlee at 10 Downing Street, in the company of U.S. Ambassador W. Averill Harriman.
The Anglo-American talks, which are expected to begin tomorrow, or at the latest Monday, are regarded in informed circles here as being consultations on details of the report, rather than policy making discussions. However, the conclusions arrived at by the conferees, it is pointed out, will undoubtedly influence policy decisions.
The British delegation, which is headed by Sir Norman Brook, will concentrate on the specific military and other measures which will be required if the inquiry committee's recommendations are to be carried out, it is believed, and will insist that Britain cannot and will not undertake them alone.
(Asked whether he had a report from London that the members of the Cabinet committee would discuss the question of sending American military aid to Palestine with the British committee, Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson told a press conference today that he had no report to that effect.)
The influential financial organ "Economist" today suggests "canonization" of Palestine as the best solution of the problem. It advocates establishment of separate semi-autonomous Jewish and Arab regions with a central government consisting, at first, of Jews, Arabs and the British, and later just Jews and Arabs, which would deal with matters of foreign policy, national defense and economic planning. Jews and Arabs would have equal representation in the central government.

Much of the talk downstairs is how to attack Greg Maddux. Like Tom Glavine, he's a tease. He'll show you a strike, but not a hitter's strike. If he gets the call, he'll expand the zone. Pretty soon, you're swinging at balls in another zip code.
"You can beat him if you make him get the ball up," hitting coach Rick Down said. Trying to pull him, or Glavine, will only work against the hitter. The approach is to go the other way and hit the ball in the air, because if you do, you can hit it out.
Maddux and Glavine are groundball guys. If you see the Mets' righthanded hitters pulling the ball on the ground, that's not a good sign.
Paul Lo Duca said the goal is to make Maddux work.
"We have to keep putting together good at-bats," Lo Duca said. "We want to run up his pitch count and try to get into their bullpen."

Description: Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini. But his success was a surprise to the racing establishment, which had written off the crooked-legged racehorse with the sad tail. Three men changed Seabiscuit's fortunes: Charles Howard was a onetime bicycle repairman who introduced the automobile to the western United States and became an overnight millionaire. When he needed a trainer for his new racehorses, he hired Tom Smith, a mysterious mustang breaker from the Colorado plains. Smith urged Howard to buy Seabiscuit for a bargain-basement price, then hired as his jockey Red Pollard, a failed boxer who was blind in one eye, half-crippled, and prone to quoting passages from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Over four years, these unlikely partners survived a phenomenal run of bad fortune, conspiracy, and severe injury to transform Seabiscuit from a neurotic, pathologically indolent also-ran into an American sports icon. Author Laura Hillenbrand brilliantly re-creates a universal underdog story, one that proves life is a horse race. From the Hardcover edition.

Carlos Santana homered for the second straight game to spark a six-run second inning and lead the visiting Cleveland Indians to a 10-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
Asdrubal Cabrera, who came into the game in an 0-for-20 slump, had four hits in five at-bats. Jeanmar Gomez (4-2) won his fourth straight start, but left the game after 6 2/3 innings with a leg injury. The Indians, who were eliminated from the American League Central race on Friday, sent 10 men to the plate in the second. The inning consisted of five hits and two walks, with Santana's two-run homer and Jason Kipnis' two-run triple highlighting the frame. Santana tied Victor Martinez for the club record for home runs by a switch-hitter with 25. Chris Parmelee hit a two-run homer in the eighth for Minnesota, which has lost seven in a row. Anthony Swarzak (3-7) allowed seven runs in 1 1/3 innings. Francisco Liriano pitched two scoreless innings in his first appearance since Aug. 25. He was on the disabled list with a sore left shoulder and activated Friday.

"and I somehow hanker after her
company. But, no I don't seem to

call on her."
Kindly-faced, kindly-natured Mr.

when he had called on her. She was
neat as waxwork about her little

David had thought her a most

Super Mario 3D World
Review by papery0shi2
"Mario does it again!"
Mario is on a mission. It's not to protect Princess Peach or go karting with a dozen of his closest friends (and, strangely, several of his enemies) or have an epic, smashing throw-down with a bunch of other characters in the gaming universe. No, his mission is simple. Make sure his Japanese creators in Kyoto have a smashing holiday and foreseeably good future by selling lots of shinny new Wii Us.
Upon initial reveal, consumers weren't too thrilled with what they saw: a sequel to an (admittedly superb) handheld title, Super Mario 3D Land. While 3D Land is without a doubt a key highlight in the 3DS library, gamers were concerned 3D World wouldn't have the same expansive gameplay as the Galaxy games. However, the more gamers saw in the ensuing months, the more delighted they became, and for good reason. Like its predecessor, Super Mario 3D World aims at capturing both the ever ravenous 2D Mario fanbase with the lesser (but equally devoted) 3D fanbase. 2D Marios simply outsell 3D Mario games by vast margins, and by combining the play elements of both styles, Nintendo wants to expand Mario's already dominant marketshare. For the first time we get to see Mario multiplayer in a 3D title.
The Wii U has, admittedly, had a very difficult first year. The console has not moved unites like its elder brother, the Wii, and there have been complaints and confusion by consumers who were unsure if it was an updated Wii or an entirely new console. Despite such a long headstart on the Playstation 4 and XBOX One, the Wii U has failed to connect to a larger audience. There have also been an dearth of games, especially in the first couple of quarters. Former exclusives have been delayed and ported to other consoles (notably Raymand Legends) and Nintendo has had a hard time drumming up third party support due to low install base.
Saturo Iwata (Nintendo's President) and Reggie Fils Aime (President of the North American division) have repeatedly said the key to the Wii U's future is Nintendo's first party games, with Super Mario 3D World being a central title in that strategy. As always, Nintendo will unlock a lot of the Wii U's potential with this particular Mario key!
For starters, Super Mario 3D World is brilliant, first class, on the same playing field as the critically adored Super Mario Galaxy games. Games like Super Mario 3D World are why Nintendo is still relevant in the marketplace after all these years. Like all Mario games, Super Mario 3D World represent the best of simple pick up and play gaming. With very few exceptions (such as the dinosaur navigating down the river), there is no need for in-depth tutorials or in-game text, just simple, platforming fun.
PLOT: Nothing to see here, move along, move along! Oh, well, if you must. Bowser kidnaps someone other than Princess Peach who are NOT Subcons (drat!). Mario and company must rescue them. Same abduction story for the last three decades, with the only reason Peach evading capture this time around is so she can be a playable character in the game. Rosalina is an unlockable fifth player. For the first time in, oh say thirty years, we also see the Mario bros. do some actual PLUMBING WORK in the intro. I'd be surprised if Mario still has his plumbing license, given his proclivity for all this extracurricular activities that consume his time!
VISUALS: While developers will be figuring out how to best develop for the PS4 and XBox One, "Super Mario 3D World" proves the Wii U is no slouch. Without a doubt, this is the PRETTIEST, most stunning Mario game to date, all running at 60 FPS.
LEVELS: There is a wide variety of levels that go far outside the standard Mario level tropes. Like its predecessors before it, Super Mario 3D World effortlessly tosses off brilliant platforming challenges and unique game design ingenuities before rapidly moving on to other glories. Often times developers would build entire games around stand-alone ideas that Nintendo only uses for a level or two before swiftly moving onto yet another platforming miracle. While there are the standard levels (grassy, fire and water, etc), Nintendo has fit in so much creativity and so many ideas that, paired with the HD visuals, the results are breathtaking. There's even a brief homage to Super Mario Kart. There is a shooter stage (which Miyamoto wanted in the orignal Super Mario Bros and which the cloud sections are left-over remnants of that idea). For the first time in Mario history the World Map is free roaming rather than stringent paths and holds the promises of many secrets! We have a top down Zelda-type stage. The levels have a lot of replayability, as sometimes only certain characters are unable to unlock all the secrets of a certain level.
POWER UPS: The Cat Suit is getting the most digital type and most marketing, but for my money, the Double Cherry is one of the most inventive new game ideas I've seen yet in a series that seemingly holds the patent on inventiveness and ingenuity. By touching the double cherry, you make a clone of yourself. By touching another one, you make yet another clone, with up to four clones for each player. Five Marios at once is atonishing; when you incorporate multiplayer and have five Marios and five Princess Toadstools running around at the same time the effect is amazing. The Boomerang Suit and Racoon Suit are also avaialble. Finally, twenty eight years after we first rescured Princess Peach, we get to see her use a Fire Flower!
MULTI PLAYER: First introduced in "New Super Mario Bros Wii" in 2009 and continued in "New Super Mario Bros. U", multiplayer has been hectic at best and chaotic at worst for Super Mario. The 2D courses of the those two games are largely built for one player, and adding three more moving sprite models is frantic to say the least and often very difficult. While there are still some very minor camera issues in four player, for the first time multi-player feels like a natural extension of a Super Mario game, rather than a much touted new feature.
The most marked difference this time around is rather than feature co-op play, instead each player is directly competing against the others, and whoever scores the most gets to wear a crown on the next level. This competitive game play adds a whole other dimension otherwise lacking to the Mario series, and would have served the two New titles well. Multiplayer in Mario really needed the three dimensional space and competitive play to realise its full potential. Likewise, when lives are running low (which they can, amazingly), sometimes it is better to collaborate with your fellow players, with each person finding the player that best suits their skill and helping the others as well to get through the level.
MULTIPLE CHARACTERS: For the first time since Super Mario Bros. 2" in 1988 (Doki Doki Panci decriers be damned!), you are able to choose between four playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad. Rather than be gameplay clones like in the New games, each have their own unique flavor, modelled after SMB2", which creates interesting situations in multiplayer.
CHALLENGE: The first four or five worlds do not present anything terribly difficult, but like 3D Land the extensive post-game content provides plenty of in-depth challenge to make platforming buffons out of even the so called Mario master players.
EXTRA CONTENT: There is lots of post game content just like 3D Land. There are three green stars hidden per level, and also stamps which you can share in Mii-verse (and the closet thing we've seen to achievements yet in a Nintendo title).
SOUNDTRACK AND CAPTAIN TOAD: The soundtrack perfectly blends new music with revisited classics from the series. The music is fully orchestrated, a la the Galaxy titles. Throughout the world map there are Captain Toad levels, which are puzzle worlds where you control a Toad that cannot jump. Nice bonus content and reminds me of Pushmo.
Mario is no stranger to the task set before him by his Japanese masters. Mario has always sold systems. With such brilliant design as afforded to Mario, how could he not? Without a doubt, this is easily one of the key games to pick up for a Wii U. For the Super Mario 3D Land detractors. Super Mario 3D World proves to be a defining moment in Mario's storied career, perfectly bridging the 2D games and Super Mario 64" and the Galaxy titles. When the eight generation is drawing to a close, Super Mario 3D Land will be held up as one of the defining, must-play games of its era.
Don't miss it!

Within-subject Variable Values of the variable are examined as they are observed to change from time to time within an individual. When a variable is administered Within-Subject, subjects receive ALL levels of the Independent Variable (also called Repeated Measures).
Quantitative Variable Can be ordered with respect to magnitude on some dimension
Quantitative variables ask How many? (discrete) or How much? (continuous), while qualitative variables ask Which?
Continuous Variable A quantitative variable which can be measured with an arbitrary degree of precision. Any two points on a scale of a continuous variable have an infinite number of values in between
Discrete Variable A quantitative variable where values can differ only by well-defined steps with no intermediate values possible.
The engine in your car can have 3 cylinders or 4 cylinders but it can't have 3.1 cylinders. Number of cylinders is a discrete variable: between two adjacent values (e.g. 3 and 4 cylinders) on the scale there cannot be any intermediate value (e.g. 3.5 cylinders). By contrast, your engine can get 35 or 36 miles per gallon, or it can get 35.1 mpg, or 35.11 or 35.111 or 35.1111... Miles per gallon is a continuous variable: no matter how close two measurements are, it is always possible for a third measurement to fall between them.
In an experimental design, each IV is said to have levels. A given IV could conceivably have an infinite number of possible values. We don't present the IV at all possible values. Those specific values chosen for the IV are referred to as the "Levels of the Independent Variable".
Dependent Variable is the measurable aspect of behavior the investigator is interested in determining the effect of the manipulation upon.

Judicial Branch, State of New Hampshire
Laura Kiernan
Communications Director
603-271-2646 ext 2359
Civil Filing Fees to be increased July 1
CONCORD, June 26--The New Hampshire Supreme Court issued an order today increasing filing fees in civil cases, generating $1.3 million in revenue needed for maintenance of the New Hampshire e-Court system now under development. The order detailing the fee changes, effective July 1, 2013, was posted today on the Judicial Branch website.
The bulk of the revenue generated by court fees goes directly into the state's general fund which is used by the legislature to fund state government. In 2009, the legislature agreed that 14 percent of that revenue would be deposited into the Judicial Branch Information Technology Fund "for maintenance and infrastructure renewal of judicial branch information technology." This year, lawmakers agreed to increase that percentage to 30 percent, to cover the anticipated additional maintenance costs related to the court system's new electronic filing system. During hearings on that bill, court officials agreed that court fees would be increased to generate the funds needed for IT maintenance without a reduction in the amount deposited by the judicial branch into the state's general fund.
"The NH e-Court system will benefit attorneys and members of the public who will no longer have to travel to a courthouse to file paperwork or review documents," Chief Justice Linda Stewart Dalianis said. "We appreciate the legislature's willingness to work with us to generate the ongoing funds needed to improve the administration of justice for all citizens of our state," Dalianis said.
Phase I of the NH e-Court Project, which will include construction of the infrastructure necessary for e-Court throughout New Hampshire courts, will begin with small claims e-filing later this year.
The Judicial Branch generated $5.7 million in civil filing fees in the last fiscal year; the increase in civil filing fees is expected to bring that total up to $7 million for the upcoming fiscal year, with the additional $1.3 million deposited into the dedicated IT Fund. The increases apply to "entry" fees charged when a new civil case is filed and to motions filed to "reopen" cases after a judicial decree has been issued in a case, as well as to other court fees. The increases in New Hampshire's court fees will be in line with civil filing fees currently in place in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont.

As with all Tuesday's for the rest of the minor league baseball season, I will be writing the minor league update for the TwinsDaily website later tonight. So make sure to check back for my post on all of the happenings across the Twins farm system. Until then, here are a few "Tuesday Morning Tidbits" to keep you satisfied until this evening.
During the beginning of the year, Terry Ryan said that Gibson was on pace to pitch in minor league games by the end of the summer so his progression is nice to see. With many current members of the Twins starting rotation slated to be free agents, the Twins might need Gibson to be ready for the big leagues in 2013.
It will be interesting to see if the Twins follow a similar plan to Stephen Strasburg for Gibson's first year back following the procedure. The Nationals are limiting the amount of innings Strasburg will pitch and they followed a similar plan with starting pitcher Jordan Zimmerman. It seems like the Twins will take any starting pitcher that can keep them in a game at this point so Gibson's recovery could be key for next year.
Ford continues on comeback trail
Former fan favorite Lew Ford (see photo above) has been bouncing around baseball leagues in recent years. This has seen him play all over the country in independant leagues and even in other countries like Japan and Mexico as he tried to make it back for one more shot at the big leagues. For a 35-year old scrappy outfielder, this can be a challenge and making it through to a 25-man roster would be even harder for him to do.
Over the weekend, the news came out that Ford signed a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles and he was assigned to their Triple-A club in Norfolk. In his first four games with the Tides, he has batted .375/.444/.500 with two doubles and two RBI in 16 at-bats. He also has muliple hit games in two of his first four games
With the Orioles being in first place, it would be great to see Ford get a call-up to help the club push for a division crown. Ford will always have a special place in the hearts of Twins fans so watch this video of him hitting a double with his new team and get ready to yell "LLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW."
Butera throwing heat
For the second year in a row, the Twins were forced to use a position player on the mound to cover the last inning of a blowout loss. In 2011, Michael Cuddyer took the field against the Rangers and pitched a scoreless inning of relief. Cuddyer left the team in free agency so the Twins had to look for a different arm on Sunday afternoon. Drew Butera stepped up and pitched a pretty decent frame for the Twins.
In Cuddyer's outing, Texas was able to mount a threat against him on the strength of a couple hits and a walk. During his inning of work, Cuddyer showed a variety of pitches with his fastball averaging around 87 mph. He mixed in a cutter, a slider, and a change up but for the most part he tried to just throw the ball over the plate to get the Twins out of a terrible 20-6 loss.
Compared to Cuddyer, Butera looked like Nolan Ryan when he stepped on the mound. The radar gun had Butera throwing as high as 94 mph with his fastball and he worked a decent change-up into the mix. With the good arm Butera has shown behind the plate, it could be assumed that he would have a little something behind his pitches. His fastball averaged close to 90 mph and his change-up sat around 79 mph. He even got former Twins outfielder Carlos Gomez to strike out swinging in very Gomez like fashion.

there's still no word on the cause of a house fire in grand forks on Sunday. The grand forks fire department responded to a call at 20-29 first avenue north shortly after two-30 a-m. the initial report suggested one person was still inside the residence. A roommate helped the trapped individual escape the burning home. The fire was quickly brought under control. Damage was put at 80-thousand dollars to the home and contents. one resident was treated at altru hospital and released. the other was airlifted to the hennepin county medical center.

The Haymarket Affair:
Why Were the Eyes of the World on Chicago in 1887?
Don Barbour
Chicago History Museum
AHTC Summer Fellowship 2008
To download this lesson in PDF format, click here.
On May 4, 1886, violence erupted on a Chicago street that would reverberate around the world. Forever known as the Haymarket Affair, it would mark a terrible breakdown between labor and capital in the United States. This lesson will explore the causes and effects of this climactic event and shed light on nature of the industrial revolution in this country.
Essential Questions
After the Civil War, industrialization occurred at a breathtaking pace throughout the United States, but nowhere as dramatically as Chicago, Illinois. As immigrants poured into America, many sought work in the bourgeoning steel, meatpacking, and lumber industries in the heart of the nation's railroad network. While some men grew rich and enjoyed lives of leisure, some labored ten hours a day (or more), six days a week, in desperate attempts to provide for their families whom they barely saw. Once economic prosperity hit the United States in the early 1880s, workers all over Chicago struck for ten hours pay for eight hours work against their employers. Business owners bristled and sought to enhance the ability of the Chicago police department to suppress strikers. Perhaps inevitably, clashes between laborers and police led to violence, death and ultimately a tragic miscarriage of justice.
The final assessment of this lesson will involve students responding to the prompt: "Why were the eyes of the world on Chicago in 1887?"
Setting the Purpose
This lesson begins with a discussion of labor and capital, or the haves and have-nots. Students will share their thoughts on the American dream and its conflicting goals for individual prosperity and national equality. Students should address the questions: Is everyone wealthy in this country? What privileges does money seem to buy? What should our social safety net look like (i.e. welfare, free and reduced school lunches, social security payments, Medicare and Medicaid, and so on)?
Analysis of Local Primary Sources Part I
The bulk of this lesson should be conducted with students working alone or in pairs on computers connected to the Internet.
Students should go to The World's of Prairie Avenue map at:
This interactive map of one of America's most exclusive neighborhoods contains information from 1880 census and other period information including photographs of the residences. Assign one of the four blocks along Prairie Ave. to each student or student group to use to fill out the World's of Prairie Avenue Feature Analysis Chart. Students should click on both Residents and Sources to complete the chart for each address. If information for either one of these links is unavailable, students should select another address for which there is information.
Once students have completed the chart for four residences, they can list the birthplaces of the servants on back of their chart for a future discussion about immigration to Chicago.
The feature analysis chart ends by asking students to provide a summary statement about the nature of Prairie Avenue. These statements should be shared in a large-group discussion as a culminating activity for this part of the lesson.
Analysis of Local Primary Sources Part II
The bulk of this lesson should be conducted with students working alone or in pairs on computers connected to the Internet.
Students should go to the Labor Unrest in Chicago, April 25-May 4, 1886 map at:
This interactive map of Chicago shows the activities of various labor groups and unions in weeks up to and including the Haymarket bombing on May 44, 1886. Students will examine this map, completing the Labor Unrest in Chicago, April 25-May 4, 1886 Study Guide.
In question 1, students should identify the map as representing small strikes, large strikes, marches, capitulation by business owners, and confrontations with police. In question 2, students should discover that 25,000 workers marched in support of the 8-hour working day. In question 3, students should observe that strikes tended to follow the Chicago River and were conducted by significant minorities of European-born (German and Irish, mostly) workers. In question 4, students should observe how the Tribune advocated the point of view of capitalists over laborers.
Students should then engage in a summary discussion, exploring the cause of such widespread strikes and the rational for the Tribunes vitriolic attack on foreign-born socialists and anarchists.
Analysis of Local Primary Sources Part III
This part of the lesson does not require students to have computer or Internet access although one computer hooked up to a projector and speakers would enhance the lesson.
Students should listen to, if possible, or read Labor and the Haymarket Affair:
His Father's Namesake here:
This piece of historical fiction humanizes one of Chicago's great early labor leaders, Albert Parsons, who was tried, convicted, and hung for his alleged role in a conspiracy responsible for the Haymarket bombing. The above page links to background articles, vocabulary terms and definitions associated with the story, and questions that can be given to students after they have heard or read the story. All of these items can be downloaded as PDFs.
This page also links to an interactive map with primary source photographs, depictions, and text. Discussion questions accompany these documents to help students understand the story of Albert Parsons, 1880s Chicago, industrialization and the early labor movement as well as the Haymarket affair itself. These documents can also all be downloaded and printed for students.
Ties to National Primary Sources
Once this final website has been explored, students should be prepared to address the initial question posed in the title of this lesson, "Why were the eyes of the world on Chicago in 1887?" Answers should reflect concern on behalf of workers throughout the world watching the fate of eight men, including of course, Albert Parsons, as they are put on trial and found guilty of conspiring to spread anarchy. Students should consider the plight of workers and the power of capitalists and ideals of America as they distill this disturbing and critical period of history. From here, they should look at subsequent labor organizations and their role in society, like the UAW, the AFL-CIO, the UEA and others. The power and influence of collective bargaining is an issue that all democratic societies must address if their citizens are truly to be free.
In its entirety, this lesson requires access to the Chicago History Museum's website at:
Elements create specifically for this lesson include:
The Worlds of Prairie Avenue Feature Analysis Chart, a graphic organizer designed to help students navigate the Chicago History Museum's interactive map Chicago's Prairie Avenue circa 1880.
Labor Unrest in Chicago, April 25-May 4, 1886 Study Guide, a set of questions designed to help students understand the Chicago History Museum's interactive map of labor unrest in 1886.

Students not yet born on 9/11 help to test educational materials during visit to crash site
Children not yet born on Sept. 11, 2001, are contributing to the Junior Ranger program at the Flight 93 National Memorial.
About 75 fifth- and sixth-grade students from the University of Pittsburgh's Fanny Edel Falk Laboratory School visited the Somerset County memorial on Thursday, many for the first time.
Armed with prototype copies of an educational booklet planned for youngsters visiting the memorial, they fanned out to see the boulder marking the crash site of United Flight 93 and walked along the Wall of Names.
"Children go to the memorial and see just a vast field. Kids have asked rangers things like, 'Where's the plane? Where's the hole?' There is not a lot that conveys the event," said Mary Margaret Kerr, University of Pittsburgh child psychology professor.
"We are hoping the takeaway will be that they will understand this in their terms," said Mary Anne McMullen, a Pittsburgh art educator and booklet illustrator. A team including Kerr and National Park Service staff created the booklets.
Flight 93 was en route from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco when four terrorists hijacked the plane. The 40 passengers and crew members who lost their lives in the crash in Stonycreek are credited with trying to wrest control of the plane, thwarting an attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Emma Waldron, 10, said she did not realize that the passengers tried to stop the terrorists.
"Now I know why we have to go through security every time we fly. The Wall of Names was sad. They were so brave," she said.
Elena Hochheiser, 11, found it interesting that the terrorists' names were not included in the memorial.
"Even though what they did was bad, they should be acknowledged in some way," she said.
One section of the booklet explains tributes and asks children to find examples in the park.
"It makes you sad to think thousands of people died for no good reason. I'm happy I was not here when it happened. I'm happy those people sacrificed their lives so we could have ours," said Ryan Duffy, 11. "They are hooking me on this. It's interesting. I want to learn more."
Jack Troxel, 10, said he has visited the memorial twice before. "I really enjoyed coming. The booklet helps you learn about it. You may not learn as much without the booklet," he said.
Haley Nichols, 10, said she found the memorial "kind of relaxing."
"It's quiet. It's sad because so many people (died) in the crash. A bad person started this. I respect what they (National Park Service) did to build this park in their memory," she said.
Language arts teacher Greg Wittig said the students reviewed the events of 9/11 before their visit.
"We talked about memorials, how we understand them, how we interpret them, what is being said, what is not being said," Wittig explained.
"I think it's a very good way to teach students what happened and about the memorial," said Charlie Burton, 11. "It tells it in an appropriate way. It's easy, and I think it's well-written,"
One student asked park ranger Adam Shaffer if anyone aboard Flight 93 died before the crash.
"Unfortunately, the answer is yes," Shaffer said.
Barbara Black, the National Park Service's chief of interpretation and cultural resources at the memorial, told the students about some of the more unusual tributes people have left behind.
A wedding ring had no accompanying explanation. A note left with a brick explained that it had been taken by U.S. soldiers from a building in Afghanistan that harbored terrorists.
All tributes are collected and archived. Some will be displayed in the visitor and education centers planned for the site.
The Junior Ranger booklets are expected to be available this summer, said Jeff Reinbold, superintendent for National Parks of Western Pennsylvania.
"It's the kind of thing that will pay real dividends. It will help future parents and kids understand the story," he said.

Publix Headquarters in Lakeland Protested for Farm Workers' Rights
Protesters in front of a West Miami Publix on November 8.
Jacob Katel
This past Sunday, more than 500 voices rang out strong in Lakeland at Publix headquarters. Students, farm workers, religious leaders, and concerned citizens came together to protest the supermarket company. It has refused to align itself with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) in protecting against human rights abuses and ensuring a living wage for the folks picking the tomatoes that the supermarket chain sells.
The CIW has already reached agreements with Taco Bell, Burger King, Whole Foods, McDonald's, and other major corporations in its fight against the agro-industrial complex's stranglehold on laborers.
The protest was part of a series at Publix supermarkets across the state of Florida. The image above comes from a November 8 demonstration near a West Miami Publix.
For a full recap, including photos and pro-CIW editorials from other Florida news outlets, visit ciw-online.org.

Men's Wearhouse is desperate to make this happen because in addition to everything mentioned above, it also eliminates its biggest competition.
Aside from JOSB, who are its competitors? Think Macy's (M) and Kohl's (KSS). You might also consider Nordstrom (JWN) and Brooks Brothers, although their price points are generally higher. Beyond that, we're mostly talking about independent menswear stores across the country.
With JOSB as friend rather than foe, MW could go to work capturing more of the suit market.
Bottom Line
In addition to upping its offer for Jos. A Bank, Men's Wearhouse has indicated it's willing to offer MW stock in lieu of cash to those JOSB shareholders interested in benefiting from the merged entity. To make this happen, it has filed suit against JOSB requesting that its board revoke its poison pill measures and be prevented from carrying out the Eddie Bauer transaction. The lawyers are having a ball.
Who knew the suit business could be so nasty?
However, Men's Wearhouse knows this is its last best chance to capture JOSB. If it doesn't use every tactic possible to bring a deal to fruition, it's possible the largest MW shareholders could turn around and sue the board for failing to exercise its fiduciary duties.
With the stakes so high, it's hard to imagine a deal getting done by MW's March 12 tender-offer deadline. I'd look for that to be extended sometime in the next week or two.
I personally don't have a problem with the Eddie Bauer acquisition. It diversifies Jos. A Bank's business into complimentary areas. If Men's Wearhouse really wants JOSB as badly as it appears it does, it will either raise the final purchase price beyond $65 (the JOSB share repurchase is $65) or agree to a transaction that includes Eddie Bauer.
If I were Men's Wearhouse CEO Doug Ewart and the board, I'd be desperate too. First, they showed founder George Zimmer the door, then they fumbled what should have been a slam-dunk merger.
At this point, if Men's Wearhouse doesn't acquire JOSB, MW stock will take a huge beating.
As of this writing, Will Ashworth did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Lil Jojo is the 16-year-old, rapper that was killed a few month's back in Chicago. Word on the street was that 'Chief Keef' and his clique had something to do with it. Chief Keef was also questioned by the CPD and I know there's an on-going investigation still lingering.
It's so unfortunate that a life had to be lost in the midst of this street mess. Lil Jojo's mom recently spoke with the New York News about the incident and actually said
"She fears her life and she believes that Chief Keef had soemthing to do with her sons murder"
She indicated that maybe he didn't pull the trigger but, he hired someone to do it.
Peep the video….

Downton Abbey Season 4 SPOILERS; New Love Interest For Cousin Rose, Jack Ross; 'Downton' To Show Interracial Relationship In 1920s Britain? Paul Giamatti As Lady Grantham's Brother
"Downton Abbey" may be going in new and exciting directions by portraying an interracial relationship in the show, currently set in 1920s Britain.
The Huffington Post writes that Gary Carr will play the show's first black character, a jazz singer named Jack Ross. Jack is described as a "charming and charismatic young man" when the news was announced.
"We are delighted to introduce another fantastic, dynamic character to 'Downton Abbey,'" Gareth Neame, an executive producer of "Downton Abbey," said in a statement. "His addition will bring interesting twists to the drama which we can't wait for viewers to see in Series Four.
New teaser photos of actor Gary Carr in character show James Ross dressed up in a suit and hat, and one photo notably shows him sitting in a rowboat with Season 3 character Rose, the Crawleys' cousin, in what may be a romantic boat ride.
Entertainment Weekly hints that there may be something between the two.
"When I caught up with executive producer Gareth Neame, he dished on the jazz musician's addition and what we'd be seeing between Ross and cousin Rose (Lily James), who meet in a London club. 'We know she's a bit of a wild child, right? She's a bit rebellious, and she likes the boyfriends,' he teased," the site revealed.
Another exciting new addition to the "Downton Abbey" Season 4 cast is "Sideways" actor Paul Giamatti, who will play Lady Grantham's brother in the Season 4 finale. He will be joined by recurring guest star Shirley MacLaine, who plays Lady Grantham's mother.
"We're excited that Paul Giamatti will be joining us on 'Downton' to play Cora's brother Harold, the rather free-spirited uncle to Mary and Edith," Neame, said in a statement. "We can't wait to see him work alongside Shirley MacLaine, who are both sure to upset the Grantham's apple cart in this year's finale."

I am a 21 year old college student with a 9 month old daughter. My fiancé and I are renting a bedroom in his parent's house, essentially living with his parents while we finish school. Basically, very limited space. We both work part time.
While I have an idealistic goal that I strive for with my daughter, it has been hard to incorporate all my wishes. I want to lead a natural, wholesome life with my little family. We are blessed that his family has nice garden that we help with, as well as chickens and an expanse of property. I have managed to exclusively breast feed for 6 months, and now only supplment with organic formula since I have started working, but this is only rarely. I cloth-diaper, feed her primarily organic foods and fresh produce, avoid plastic and processed foods, and try to allow her many self-directed experiences and exploration. Almost all of her toys are handmedowns and gifted items, and while I am beyond grateful, they are almost all plastic and battery-operated noise-makers. She already seems bored with them. She prefers to play with our "real life" items, such as cooking utensils and large hair clips, video game controller... Still not ideal items.
I have been really busy with the end of the semester and feel like it's taking a toll on both my daughter and I. Luckily, next month I will be free to focus on her and my fiancé, albeit 15 hours of working each week.
I took the time to explain all this so you would have a basic picture of our life. I would love for her to have a Montessori bedroom with a floor bed and child-sized furniture, but that is not possible at this time. She is on absolutely no sort of schedule except for eating times, and bath-tooth brush-book-nurse-sleep at night.
I would like to create some sort of basic (not rigid) schedule for her, as well as inexpensive and enriching activities. Is there any way to incorporate more natural parenting, Montessori and Waldorf inspired, for my family? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you for taking the time to read my novella! Hah.
It's easy to become entranced with all of the lovely accoutrements of Montessori and Waldorf - the specialized Montessori materials like the pink tower and cylinder blocks, the expensive natural wooden Ostheimer toys, the pretty playhouses and kitchens and all that stuff. It's important to realize that it is just "stuff". Having it won't necessarily make your child smarter or better, not having it won't necessarily be hurtful. It's more important to support a child's natural interests and learning style, allow them to explore and play, and respect their development and capacity to achieve. You don't need a lot of space or expensive "stuff" to cultivate a supportive and respectful attitude about your child's development and learning.
I'd say that some of the most helpful things you can do require almost no expense at all. Lots of time to play and explore. A daily nature walk - even if you live in an urban environment, there are usually parks and community gardens. A library card and weekly trips to the library. There are lots of activities and toys that you can create with simple household objects and found materials from your nature walks. There are books and blogs that are all about that sort of thing. For purchase, try Goodwill shops and yard sales for gently used toys and books.
A couple of books that you might find helpful:
How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way by Tim Seldin
Teach Me to Do It Myself: Montessori Activities for You and Your Child by Maja Pitamic
It sounds like you are a caring mom and your family is doing wonderfully. You already have a great start !
ollyoxenfree has given you good advice. I agree with everything she said.
I think Montessori is more about your approach to child-rearing than having fancy materials. And there are some Montessori activities that you can do cheaply and easily. For example, a floor bed is really just a mattress on a floor. If your baby is sleeping on a mattress, simply take it out of her crib and put it on the floor. Hang up art at her eye level in her room and/or around the house. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. It could be stuff you or she made. My son started using a shot glass when he was about a year old -- you can pick those up inexpensively at Ikea if you don't already have one. Playing with things from around the house or nature is great! You can set some things up in baskets for her to explore.
I've gotten a lot of our son's things from consignment stores/sales, craigslist, etc. It sounds to me like you are being too hard on yourself. You seem to already be on the right path and you have a destination in mind. You just need to figure out a plan to get there. Be creative! Search the blogosphere. There are tons of Montessori blogs with great ideas (mine among them hopefully, although my son is much older than your daughter). Here's one place to start: http://pinterest.com/debchitwood/babies-activities-and-ideas/

This is so true! I just sold & passed on $$$$ worth of seemingly-awesome waldorf and montessori toys. Why? Because my kids collect sea glass, rocks, branches, acorns and use craft materials to make their own toys! They use old halloween costumes for dress-up and spend most of their time outdoors or drawing! Kids don't need stuff....at all!
It sounds to me like you're "doing" Montessori just fine. Take the time to know your daughter, see what her interests are and what she's driven towards, and then come up with a few activities that will support her developmental stage. In Montessori, less is more...
When she's a little older (walking steadily) she can help you do chores like fold laundry, cook, clean, etc. They enjoy these activities much more than playing with toys, and these activities will help you establish a rhythm to your days. HTH!

I think it is wonderful that you are thinking about Montessori already, and I agree that the Montessori materials are not what I would focus on right now, but for reasons other than those expressed so far.
The Montessori materials are designed for children of approximately 2-1/2 to 6 years old, and are only appropriate for a child that is developmentally ready for them. Having them around for a 9-12 month old baby will do no good and worse, your child may develop bad habits of unintended use that will need to be erased later, which will be no easy task.
Montessori herself taught that greatest gift we can give to a child of this age is to incorporate him into our daily lives to the greatest degree possible, and give him whatever he is ready for in searching for his independence. This means letting him, to some degree, choose his own clothes or what to eat. Only offer valid choices, then abide by the choice. For example, give an (a) or (b) choice in what to wear that day. Narrow the choices. A swimsuit is not appropriate to go outside in in January in Manitoba, so that is not a valid choice, but sweater (a) or jacket (b) may be appropriate. Allow the child to dress himself, help with meal preparation (he can help pour, mix, etc.), carry things to help out around the house. Above all, let him be there. As the late Nancy McCormick Rambusch, a founder and the first president of the American Montessori Society once said, what is important is not that you have quality time with your child, what matters is quantity time.

I am in a similar situation and have similar goals for my family : ) I'm 23 and my fiance and I live in a small apartment with our 8 month old daughter. We have some hazards in our apartment (lots of radiators) that stop me from setting up a Montessori environment how I envision it but I can still include aspects into our daily life. I've mostly turned to blogs for Montessori tips and tricks, I found a great one: http://makingmontessoriours.blogspot.com/2011/02/sensorial-practical-life-materials-we.html where they make most of the materials themselves. I found that blog to be a great jumping-off point as she posts many great links. Feel free to PM me if you'd like, I have a ton of links!
My fiance is not "handy" but I've found I can purchase the wood cheaply and have friends who have all the tools make what I various materials, usually just for some dinner or cookies, some kind of barter. Is it possible for you to make the room your all share baby friendly? That way your DD could roam around the room freely, maybe put a cloth book holder up on the wall for her.
Gotta go, sleepy baby needs me!
A'ing, ,,, Momma to one DD 1/1/12 . Trying to and hoping for a next time!

Keeping Schools Safe from Illegal Activity
News From New York State
Senator Shirley L. Huntley
For Immediate Release: May 12, 2011
Contact: Antonio Rodriguez | firstname.lastname@example.com | (518) 455-3531
Senate Enhances Law Aimed at Punishing Prostitution Offenses Near School Grounds
Senator Huntley (D-Jamaica) announced that the New York State Senate passed legislation, S. 1313-A, which establishes new crimes and increased penalties for promoting and conducting prostitution within one thousand feet of school grounds.
"We, as a community must ensure that these types of crimes do not occur near school grounds," said Senator Huntley. "Prostitution is not only dangerous to the participants, but brings unsafe elements into our communities which impressionable and vulnerable school aged children should not have to bear witness to."
This legislation:
• States that anyone who knowingly advances or profits from the crime by managing, supervising, controlling or owning a prostitution business located within one thousand feet of school grounds is guilty of a class C felony.
• Criminalizes the promotion of prostitution within one thousand feet of school grounds as a class E felony.
• Makes patronizing a prostitute within one thousand feet of school grounds a class E felony.
This law stems from a January 2011 New York Times article entitled "A Bronx Elementary School, Surrounded by Prostitutes." The article revealed that students attending the West Farms Elementary School are unwillingly subjected to witnessing daily acts of prostitution. The brazen activity ranged from prostitutes roaming the streets around the school to performing illicit acts in a tent at the base of the school's playground.
This legislation will be beneficial to residents who live in certain areas of Queens whose children may be subjected to this type of criminal behavior. The recruitment of children to engage or in some cases be forced into prostitution negatively impacts families and communities.
Throughout the borough of Queens and the rest of New York City, schools provide children a safe learning environment, free from corrosive and criminal activity. It is imperative that our children have as many safe havens as possible and ensuring prostitution offenses do not occur near a school will help immensely.
The senator concluded, "this bill goes considerably further than current law so that law enforcement may effectively prevent and punish prostitution crimes. The penalties for those who exploit women and force victims into prostitution are much harsher. This is an unfortunate but necessary precaution to protect our children and ensure their educational environment is safe and secure."

BE AWARE! Folks are still receiving emails from 'crooks' trying to scam them on the purchase of their horses. They will say they are from England and some from Scotland and some from Africa or someplace else overseas. If you get anything that looks the least bit strange, throw it away. You can tell by the questions asked (or not asked) and other key information exchanged if they are legit or not. Where there are a lot of honest horse folks overseas, these other folks try to say they will send you more than you're asking so you can reimburse the shipper. Some have even gone as far as to send a legitimate looking cashier's check drawn on a US bank but in fact is nothing more than a well done forgery. This is just a trick to get your money. Remember, if it looks too good to be true, then you can bet it's a scam! There have been dozens of articles in the trade journals and emails sent around about these crooks. We're on to them!

Regional Reviews: Los Angeles
Save It for the Stage! The Life of Reilly
Take note, Bruce Vilanch: Game Show Celebrity is all-consuming. Charles Nelson Reilly won a Tony award for the original How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying; he appeared in the original productions of Hello, Dolly! and Bye Bye Birdie, among others; his acting has received numerous Emmy nominations, and his directing recently earned a Tony nomination. Nonetheless, say the name "Charles Nelson Reilly" to a roomful of people, and the first thing they think of is "Hollywood Squares."
Reilly's autobiographical show, Save It for the Stage! The Life of Reilly is, in part, an attempt to set the record straight, once and for all. Reilly is an Actor, with a capital "A," who has trained with the best of 'em, worked with the best of 'em, and damn well ought to be thought of in the same class as the rest of 'em. Then again, he is also outrageously funny, and his show delivers the full portion of laughs one expects from an evening with Reilly onstage.
Although not divided along these lines, the show can be seen as the juxtaposition of two different shows: Save It for the Stage -- the story of Reilly's formative years, so named because his mother used to answer all his youthful questions with a dismissive, "Save it for the stage"; and Life of Reilly -- anecdotes from Reilly's rich, successful, always-on-"The Tonight Show" years.
Save It for the Stage is by far the better of the two shows. Reilly has the observational skills of the most talented of actors, and these skills on full display as he recounts stories from his childhood. When he speaks of his first trip to a movie house, Reilly conjures up every detail, from the ornate doors to the decorated ceiling, and he delivers up these memories with his original sense of childhood wonderment, effortlessly slipping into the character of his younger self. Many of Reilly's memories seem tailor-made for the stage. That he was overjoyed to be given the lead in his school play at age nine is to be expected; that his mother denied him permission because she felt he wasn't up to the task is brutal; but what his teacher told his mother afterward is life-altering.
Many of Reilly's early memories are bittersweet. He can turn from comic to tragic in the blink of an eye, and he brings the audience with him on every change. He never stays in the tragic too long; indeed, sometimes he'll signal a switch into a more dramatic moment, only to pause and shoot one last comic zinger at the room. Reilly gets his laughs from many sources: direct asides to the audience; a running gag in which he "casts" the roles of all the people in his life with well-known actors; some classic one-liners; and, very delicately, in the comedy that is inherent in the tragedy of life.
The Life of Reilly sections of the show are less successful. Reilly drops names and tells humorous anecdotes from his glory days, but the stories lack the emotional power and intimacy of the tales from his earlier years. With the exception of follow-ups on the family-members and friends we met as part of Reilly's youth, the stories are strictly about famous friends; never once do we get a glimpse into Reilly's personal life as an adult. There is no denying that the tales are funny -- indeed, the biggest laugh in the show is Reilly's "casting" of a fellow "Tonight Show" guest -- but this section of the show doesn't provide nearly the insight of Save It for the Stage, and ultimately could be done without. The entire show is over three hours long; Reilly himself conceded it needs cutting -- this is the place.
Reilly repeatedly jokes that the production values of the show are cheap, but there is a difference between "cheap" and "simple," and this production fits perfectly in the latter category. The set provides ample places for Reilly to sit, lean, walk around, and play in. It needs nothing more. If anything, the show is over-produced -- we don't need someone to play the audio of a movie to know Reilly is in a movie house; Reilly's memory of the sounds is more than sufficient. Reilly's costume, a loose-fitting outfit with a long necklace which found a way to wrap itself around his shoulder, also needs to be rethought.
All in all, though, Save It for the Stage is a memorable portrait of a kid growing up in The Bronx, a youth with a passion for the stage, a man who is grateful for the friends who have touched his soul . . . and that guy from "Hollywood Squares."
El Portal Center for the Arts; Jim Brochu, Artistic Director; Pegge Forrest, Managing Director; presents Charles Nelson Reilly in Save It for the Stage! The Life of Reilly. Written by Charles Nelson Reilly and Paul Linke, directed by Paul Linke. Lighting design by Paul Martin Weeks, costume design by Noel Taylor, sound design by Kenneth K. Melvin, stage manager David Mingrino, set decor by Patrick Hughes, technical director Aaron Harper, sound board operator Matt Walters, publicist Forrest and Associates.
Save It for the Stage! The Life of Reilly plays at the El Portal Center for the Arts through July 15, 2001.

NY Times Claims Israel Took Yesha from Jordan in 1967 (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu 07/11/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157731
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
A New York Times editorial Tuesday rewrites history and claims Israel took Judea and Samaria from Jordan in 1967, when Jordan fled the areas after joining other Arab nations as they converged on Israel in the Six Day War.
The editorial lambasted Israel in last week´s non-binding report by a government-appointed judicial panel, which contradicted the international communitys claim that Israel is an occupier and that it is illegal for Jewish communities to exist in Judea and Samaria.
The editorial stance of the Times was not surprising, but its editorial actually twisted the fact that Israel never took" or conquered Judea and Samaria. The newspaper also repeated the frequent claim, not supported by facts, that all of Judea and Samaria were under authorized Jordanian sovereignty.
The Israeli panel of three legal experts, chaired by former High Court Justice Edmund Levy, pointed out that Jordan actually was the occupier of what mainstream media calls the West Bank, which also is a misnomer because the literal definition is all of the land west of the Jordan River and reaching the Mediterranean Coast.
The United Nations partition plan of 1947 was to divide Israel, administered under the British Mandate, between Israel and a new country of Transjordan. After the Arab world refused to accept the idea of a Jewish State of Israel, the War for Independence broke out and ended with the Temporary Armistice Lines of 1949. Jordan assumed sovereignty over all of Judea and Samaria because its forces had occupied the area.
Jordanian forces fled the entire area during the Six Day War in 1967, leaving Israel to administer Judea and Samaria. Israel could be termed an occupier in the land that fell under its control and had been part of the country, but Jordan itself had occupied Judea and Samaria in 1947.
Nevertheless, The New York Times editorial continues to allege that Israel is in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention [that] bars occupying powers from settling their own populations in occupied lands.
Even the editorials headline Wrong Time for New Settlements was a bit misleading concerning the newspapers opinion, which does not leave an option for a right time for settlements.
The Times also concluded that the Levy report was a disastrous blow because pushing ahead with new settlements in the West Bank is an obstacle to peace talks, the best guarantee of a durable solution to the Palestinian Authority-Israeli dispute.
The newspaper even warned that the report also will damage Western efforts to halt Irans unsupervised nuclear development.
It reasoned that the report will bring about new international anger at Israel that could divert attention from Iran just when the world is bearing down with sanctions and negotiations to curb Tehrans nuclear program. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 07/11/12)

Since last we posted (almost 3 months ago…), we've gotten married, Talley got a PhD, we've moved off the houseboat and across the state and I've started vet school. The name Houseboat Eats is now fraudulent, but we're going to keep it anyway, for old time's sake.
Our first order of business now that things have stabilized a bit is to post wedding recipes. It'll take a little while to get everything up, but it'll probably all go up eventually. The most requested recipes after the wedding (actually, the only requested recipes) were the sangria recipes, so we'll start there. A white sangria and a red. Then, in no particular order, we'll post the recipes for our:
- chicken liver pate
- asparagus pickles
- lavender ginger soda and the rosemary lemon soda
- farro/lentil/squash salad
- pork tinga
- jicama salad
My aunts Margaret and Becky and our friend Kate made no fewer than 18 fruit pies for the event, and we'll try to get some of those up too.
The wedding took place on a small island up in the San Juans (up by Canada) that had almost no electricity, refrigeration, or any of the other amenities that we have come to depend on in our kitchen. But we did have a gas stove, a fire pit, and a lot of coolers. Theoretically, Talley and I were going to make all of the food for the wedding (Talley and I and a crew of 8 family members, to be fair), but when it came down to the day of the feast, we were overwhelmed, despite all of our planning and prep work. The morning of the wedding, our friends and family stepped up and spent all morning helping – they cleaned, chopped, and baked 15 delicata squash, they peeled and shoestringed 20 pounds of green apples and jicama, they sliced 25 avocados, cut 15 pounds of cheese… the list goes on — all of this without the benefit of electricity or decent knives (well, most did it without good knives – the apparently psychic jicama salad group actually brought their own sharp knives…).
So, none of the wedding recipes are very fussy or fancy because they had to either be made ahead of time and transported or be easy enough that they would come together the morning of, but they're all really pretty good, particularly the tinga if you ask me, and we are certainly sentimentally attached to them all now.
Lastly, we just want to say thanks again to everyone who made the occasion so perfect and so memorable.
Stay tuned for the first recipe: White sangria with apples, citrus fruit and pisco. Make it and be happy!

Kanye West Thinks He Can Make People Stop Buying Louis Vuitton
In an interview with 92.3 yesterday, Kanye West told everyone in New York who still listens to radio to not buy anything Louis Vuitton until after January because everyone knows Christmas is Yeezus' birthday, so you best direct commerce in a manner befitting of your king or he'll smack Kim Kardashian's ass and cause a tsunami. Do the eyes look like they're joking? And have done cocaine? I rest my case. TMZ reports:
Kanye was on 92.3 NOW radio station moments ago when he handed down the edict, saying, "Everybody in New York City right now, don't buy any Louis Vuitton until after January."
Kanye says he's trying to make a point to the head of Louis Vuitton, Yves Carcelle, who refused to meet with the rapper the last time he was in Paris.
That's funny because right now, with this exact sentence, I'm actually telling everyone in New York to buy Louis Vuitton, so we'll see who's the real power player, son. If their sales drop, Kanye's the leather jogging pants son of God. If their sales stay the same, or even increase, he has to accept me, his new Lord and Savior, into his heart where I'll guide him down a new path of righteous and shutting the hell up. Or I'll make him say, "Yo, for real, did Ray J seriously piss on you?" every time Kim tries to have a conversation. I haven't made up my holy mind yet.

I spend way too much time on my computer, either dinking around online or playing games.
I really wish I could go to Comic-Con... the one in Chicago is cool, but I don't think it's quite the same.
Really want to move out West right now, preferably Washington or Oregon, but I'm not too picky. I crave mountains.
Oh. People seem to think I look like Harry Potter.
As far as shows go, Doctor Who, Archer, Arrested Development, Lost, Fringe, and The Venture Brothers. Oh, and Game of Thrones. Been digging some Black Sails and various quirky British murder mysteries lately.
My favorite music is pretty haphazard; mostly I find stuff through soundtracks. I like a lot of pretty movie scores, like Michael Giacchino and Alexandre Desplat. I like David Bowie and the Beatles quite a bit, and I also enjoy Feist, Zooey Deschanel, and a smattering of more recent big artists like Adele.
I really like any kind of food that involves meat, pasta, or cheese-- basically, comfort food. I don't think I could handle being vegetarian.
And as long as we're on the subject, if you blankly refuse to believe in evolution on religious grounds, we will have issues.
