The year is 1795 and Jane Austen is a feisty 20-year-old. The emerging writer already sees a world beyond class and commerce, pride and prejudice, and dreams of doing what was then nearly unthinkable--marrying for love. Her parents prefer a wealthy husband, to assure their daughter's future social standing, and are eyeing Mr. Wisley, nephew to the very rich and very formidable Lady Gresham, as a prospective match. But when Jane meets the roguish and decidedly non-aristocratic Tom Lefroy, sharp repartee leads to flying sparks. His intellect and arrogance raise her ire - then knock her head over heels. The couple, whose flirtation flies in the face of the sense and sensibility of the age, is faced with a terrible dilemma. If they attempt to marry, they will risk everything that matters - family, friends and fortune.

The swap itself remains, nonetheless, a very close call. I would fully respect a president who rejected the deal as simply too unbalanced. What is impossible to respect is a president who makes this heart-wrenching deal and then does a victory lap in the Rose Garden and has his spokesmen and acolytes treat it as a cause for celebration. This is no victory. This is a defeat, a concession to a miserable reality, a dirty deal, perhaps necessary as a matter of principle but to be carried out with regret, resignation, even revulsion.

15 steps for creating the perfect smoky eye look
15 steps for creating the perfect smoky eye look
If you want that smoky look, but aren't quite sure how to get it, keep reading! Here are 15 steps for creating the perfect smoky eye look, it's easier than you think!
1. Practice makes perfect
If you plan to wear your new smoky eye look to a special event, it's important to practice ahead of time. This will allow you to perfect your technique and even choose exactly the right color shadows and liners so you don't have to rush it on the night. Practice makes perfect! You can even add some glitter or go with the matte look, but practicing it beforehand is always the best idea!
2. Gather The Right Tools
Before you start on your smoky eyes, gather all of the makeup and tools you'll need. Grab two or three small shadow brushes, one to include a blender bush, as well as a few cotton swabs (for clean-up). You're ready to go! Also make sure that everything is very clean and that it is good quality. Laying everything out before you start will save you from having to stop and start again!
3. Start with a Clean Canvas
Before you start on your smoky eye look, be sure to remove all other eye makeup. You want all of the eye makeup off of your eyes, so that way you can really take your smoky eye look to the next level.
4. Don't Neglect Your Brows
Before you start applying makeup, make sure your brows are tweezed and shaped. You'll look more polished and your makeup will apply much easier. It's always best to get a good shape from a professional and keep them tidy yourself. Always fill in your brows with a brow palette like our HD Brow palette €30 to add definition.
5. Use The Right Colours
The most glam smoky eye looks include colours like grey and black, but it's best to experiment with colours that make your own eye colour pop. For green eyes, use deep purples, browns and gold's. For blue eyes, use navy blues or even some copper colours to really draw out the blue in your eyes. For brown eyes, use pinks and even some purples along with some greys to really draw out the brown. However, any colours work too, mix and match!
6. Use a Good Primer
To even out your lid tone and give you a good base to start your smoky eye look, use a good primer. I love Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer. It's got a little glimmer to it, and it covers freckles and veins on your lids nicely. This will also keep your eye makeup on well past the time it is supposed to.
7. Use Concealer
Below your eyes, use your everyday concealer to hide dark circles and even out your skin tone. You want everyone to notice your sultry, smoky eyes, not the dark circles underneath them, so be sure to use concealer before you begin.
8. Set your Concealer
Always set your concealer and foundation with pressed or loose powder, this will keep your makeup in place all night long!
9. Line Your Eyes
Step one is to line your eyes with a dark pencil liner. Apply the liner as close to your lash line as possible on the upper lid, then smudge it so the line is feathery, not heavy-looking or clumpy. You can even add the colour into the waterline, just to add that extra drama!
10. Apply Shadow
Now it's time to shadow. Use a dark hue on top of your liner, and cover your entire lid, all the way across from the inside (closest to your nose) to the outside (angled in a line to meet your brow). Again, apply with a light hand. Now use a lighter hue to highlight a spot in the center of your lid, and brush it lightly along your lower lash line. For more drama, add the darker shade along your lower lash line, too, with a very light hand.
11. Blending Is Key
When applying shadow, it's important to use layers, rather than applying a thick layer all at once. The light layering will provide dimension and depth to your smoky eye look, and won't look cheap or hurried. Blend, Blend , Blend, this will bring your smoky eye to life!
12. Apply Mascara
Next, apply two or three coats of mascara, either black or brown-black, depending on the palette of liner and shadows you've used. Remember, you don't want to let the layers dry, otherwise they will look very clumpy and you'll end up with spidery lashes.
13. Add False Lashes for Extra Smoky Eye Glam
If you want a little extra smoky eye glam, apply false lashes before you start the primer and concealer. Give the adhesive plenty of time to dry before you start working on your eyes.
14. Clean up
Once you're done with liner, shadow, and mascara, use the clean cotton swabs to remove any accidental smears or smudges on your face… you'll be surprised where your shadow ends up! If necessary, dab on a little more concealer.
15. Avoid Over Doing The Drama
Once your smoky eyes are complete, your face is almost done. Avoid using dramatic blush or bronzer, and stay away from bright lips. Go for something like nude lips or a pale pink gloss… you don't want anything distracting from your gorgeous smoky eyes!

Good day,
I have found several 'online' 'genuine' toyota parts dealers, there is probably even more.
I'm just wondering if anyone here has used an online parts dealer - for genuine OEM Toyota parts? (which online stores are good and which to avoid?)
Edit - not spam Morphine, it's legit.
Edit 2 - I'm in Canada and the dealer here wants 2 to 3 times the price that they are available for online from the States.
Edit 3 - Title

It's not drycleaners. It's not a Starbucks. It's not a tobacco shop. And it's not a pharmacy.
That small building in the Summerside Walmart's parking lot? It's Jo Mamma's Coffee Hut.
It's a specialty coffee shop – and the brainchild of Carlene and Tim Kuhn of Tyne Valley.
Honestly, its been funny to listen to everyone speculating about what the building is, laughed Carlene on Tuesday.
Dozens and dozens of cars, every day, will drive slowly by the hut, or the drivers will get out and peek in the windows in an effort to decipher the mystery of the hut, she chuckled.
The level of curiosity in their building surprised the Kuhn family – so they took advantage of it.
"There was so much buzz about 'what it was.' Everybody was talking … so we just let them speculate. Because there was that many more people talking about it – trying to figure out what it was.
"It really turned into a good marketing technique," said Kuhn.
But with opening day quickly approaching – the signs and menu finally went up on the building Tuesday.
They weren't up long. So many people were driving by that they were getting in the way of the crew trying to set up Internet in the building. Kuhn had to put cardboard over them.
It kinda felt good to have to do that, she laughed.
Her family has been working on putting their business plan into action for nearly four years, so it's nice that it's causing a bit of buzz in town.
They first got the idea to open a specialty coffee shop more than a decade ago – their son worked for a major coffee chain in the U.S. at the time.
When they finally decided to implement their plan they estimated they'd be open within eight months.
Four years later, they're finally ready to put the "open" sign in the window. They're shooting for a Feb. 1, opening date.
It wasn't one thing in particular that held them up for so long, said Kuhn, but it took a long time to buy the property from Walmart and get all their proverbialducks in a row.
And throughout all that effort there was ever-present temptation to abandon Summerside, a place not traditionally associated with specialty coffee.
They didn't want to do that, said Kuhn.
"Being from this area, we really wanted something in Summerside," she said.
"We come to Summerside. Our kids come to Summerside. We don't want to have to go to Charlottetown to have something – we want to do it here. So we stuck with it," she added.
They're betting on residents of the area wanting something beyond the traditional double double coffee from a drive-thru – even though they'll have that too.
Jo Mamma's will sell free trade, specialty blend coffee, espresso, cappuccino, plus an assortment of frozen fruit and coffee drinks, tea from Republic of Tea, Frappés, and other drinks.
The hut is drive-thru only. But it has two service windows.
All the drinks are also made to order – which will mean a slightly longer wait time than your average drive though.
But Kuhn said they plan on having enough staff working the two windows that the wait will be minimal.
The fact that their building is so small will also keep their overhead low, she added, so even though their selling a premium product prices will be competitive.
Hopefully, its something that residents will be attracted too, said Kuhn, crossing her fingers.
"Sometimes you go to a coffee house to sit and relax. We're the opposite. We're for those moments that you're on the go," she said.

Lynn Wyatt Receives 2011 National Opera Trustee Recognition Award
Lynn Wyatt, Houston Grand Opera Life Trustee and longtime member of the Board of Directors, was recently named a recipient of the 2011 National Opera Trustee Recognition Award. Sponsored by OPERA America, the national service organization for opera, in partnership with Bank of America, this award honors trustees of U.S. opera companies for exemplary leadership, generosity and audience-building efforts on behalf of their respective opera companies.
"Over many years, Lynn Wyatt's contribution to Houston Grand Opera has been immeasurable. Her inspirational passion, generosity and commitment have made her the most exemplary of board members," says Anthony Freud, HGO General Director and CEO. "I couldn't be more thrilled that Opera America, through this prestigious award, is ensuring that the nation discovers what Houston Grand Opera has known for a long time: that Lynn is a priceless and irreplaceable treasure."
An international leader in raising support and awareness for worthy causes, and one of Houston's most active philanthropists, Lynn Wyatt has made it her mission to bring Houston Grand Opera (HGO) to its maximum artistic potential, and to ensure that HGO will continue to innovate the opera world for future generations. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and an active philanthropist, Mrs. Wyatt has been the Vice Chairman of the Houston Grand Opera Board since 1984 and is a longtime member of HGO's marketing committee, where she has provided valuable guidance on ways to attract new audiences and expand the demographic of the company's reach.
She has provided production support and sponsorships for many productions including Wagner's Tristan and Isolde (2000), Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades (2010), the 1991 Placido Domingo concert and the world premieres of Bernstein's A Quiet Place (1983) and André Previn's Brief Encounter (2009). She is also a strong proponent of Houston Grand Opera's community collaborations, such as The Refuge (2007), an original work highlighting the stories of seven immigrant communities in Houston, and the fall 2010 production, To Cross the Face of the Moon / Cruzar la Cara de la Luna, the world's first Mariachi Opera.

SUMMERSIDE – Harbour Drive is no more as of today.
Summerside Mayor Basil Stewart officially proclaimed the renaming of the street Tuesday, during the Canada Day celebrations, to Heather Moyse Drive.
Announced several weeks ago, the change was made to honour Moyse's accomplishment in sport (she's a two-time Olympic bobsleigh gold medalist) and to thank her for her long-time support of her hometown of Summerside and the province in general.
However, nobody told Moyse until just before the event that she would be asked to speak, which she made light of when she got to the microphone.
"They probably asked me to speak last minute knowing that whatever I'd say I'd probably just end up bawling. I get very emotional when I talk about P.E.I.," she said.
Right on cue Moyse started to tear up and took a few moments to compose herself.
The multi-sport athlete didn't stay at the ceremony long, for which she apologized profusely, but she had another engagement in Charlottetown.
At one point, after Moyse hadn't spoken for several seconds but was still standing at the microphone, an organizer apparently thought she was done speaking, so they stood up and started went over to the podium.
Moyse just laughed and choked out something about just not being able to speak.
The red-faced announcer quickly sat back down, to much guffaw from the crowd.
"What do you say when you're given a street?" asked Moyse, finally.
"I'm at a little bit of a loss for words but it truly is an honour – thank you."

I can't upload a full-resolution D7100 picture; DPReview please fix!
I tried to upload a full-resolution, JPEG Normal D7100 picture (between 6 and 7 MB) to my gallery and couldn't. Even though I was below the 20 MB limit, I suppose I exceeded some other pixel quantity standard.
Since 24MP cameras are so common, it makes no sense to me that DPReview is so stingy to not allow a full-resolution D7100 picture to be uploaded, even though it is not the maximum MP such a picture could be. As far as I know, uploading to the DPReview gallery is the easiest way our able moderator Mako can access a picture to investigate technical questions.
I know I perhaps am not in the right forum to make this complaint, but I feel other fellow Nikonians with 24MP or more cameras should be aware of this issue. I don't want to spend processing time downsizing my pictures.

HUNDREDS of extra unnecessary calls have been made to the North Yorkshire Police control room.
Staff at the Force Control Room say they have had to deal with more calls than usual due to people phoning police with queries about the upcoming Tour de France.
Residents have been urged only to use the emergency 999 number when appropriate, and check the North Yorkshire Police or City of York Council websites for answers to Grand Depart-related queries, rather than contact the police directly.
Paul Richardson, deployment manager in the Force Control Room said the rise in calls had been "unexpected", and led to "a demanding few days", but the increase was mainly to the non-emergency 101 number.
He said: "On Wednesday we received and dealt with 877 calls, which is over 200 more than projected and Thursday again saw an increase by over 100, taking 774. The whole team have worked hard to continue a good service is delivered. Thankfully the 999 calls remained as estimated with no serious or major incidents that should raise concern.
"The TDF has been partially responsible for the increase and as such North Yorkshire Police have worked hard with the media to ensure that the right calls go to the right organisations and departments. Road closures and information are readily available on the local council websites."

Sins Of Omission: When Religious Right Leaders Speak, The Whole Truth Is Often Left Behind
When an individual doesn't feel like being absolutely truthful, there are a couple of things he or she can do. One is to simply tell lies. Another, perhaps more common tactic, is to omit certain pieces of information, thus giving the listener an incomplete picture.
The latter tactic was on full display this year during the Religious Right's "Values Voter Summit" last week, and perhaps no one used it better than a man named Kelly Shackelford.

China's state media has attempted to extinguish rumours president in-waiting Xi Jinping was the subject of an assassination attempt, even as the country's next leader remains unusually absent from public duties.
Mr Xi has not been seen since September 1 and is thought to have suffered a serious but not life-threatening stroke, or a heart attack.
The first indirect acknowledgement of the rumours surrounding Mr Xi came on Wednesday evening when CCTV devoted three minutes of its main news bulletin to a seemingly trivial story about a senior party official, He Guoqiang.
The story featured 22 close-ups of Mr He's face, in an apparent attempt to rebut rumours his car was rammed in a targeted attack by supporters of ousted Communist Party official Bo Xilia.
A Hong Kong website, Boxun, reported Mr Xi was the subject of an earlier attack in Beijing as part of a co-ordinated effort to harm the pair.
Mr He, who had previously not been seen since August 31, is in charge of internal Communist Party discipline and sits on the nine- member Standing Committee, China's top decision making body.
He is therefore responsible for determining Mr Bo's fate, after the former party secretary in Chongqing was sacked from all positions in March for unspecified disciplinary breaches.
The CCTV broadcast showed Mr He looking healthy as he toured a party newspaper and advocated efforts to fight corruption.
The appearance of Mr He on state TV is usually how such rumours are scotched by the government.
But China's official media has not commented on the Boxun report, nor the absence of Mr Xi, whose last public appearance was nearly two weeks ago at the Central Party school in Beijing.
The only mention of Mr Xi came on Wednesday evening when it was reported he expressed his condolences to the family of a party official who had died recently.
Usually, when such rumours surface, a public appearance would be hastily arranged.
When reports surfaced that former president
Equally, it was quick to act earlier in the year when The Financial Times reported that a top security official was under investigation.
In contrast, China's state media have made no comments on Mr Xi's health or absence from public view.
Mr Xi is set to be named as China's next president at the National Party Congress in Beijing.
The congress is expected to take place in the middle of next month, although the party is refusing to officially confirm a date.
Willy Lam, an expert in elite Chinese politics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said Mr Xi's health problems would not delay the congress.
"I don't think they will delay the congress. It would be too disruptive,' he said.
Mr Xi was initially thought to have suffered a back injury while playing soccer at the start of this month.
But rumours of a potential health problem begun to surface after he abruptly cancelled a meeting with the United States Secretary of State,
At the time, the cancellation was widely seen as a snub to Mrs Clinton, who had been strongly criticised in China's state-run media for her comments on territorial disputes in the South and East China Sea.

Abortion Foes Try to Block Stopgap Funding Bill
Abortion opponents have complicated the prospects for another short-term funding bill to keep the government open after March 18.
The Family Research Council urged lawmakers on Wednesday to fight additional stopgap spending measures that contain funding for Planned Parenthood.
"I want to strongly encourage you to oppose any additional temporary Continuing Resolutions for FY 2011 that fails to prevent government funding of abortion in the District of Columbia and government funding for the nation's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood," Tom McClusky, senior vice president of the Family Research Council, told lawmakers in a letter dated Wednesday.
Mr. McClusky warned that the group will alert activists back home if lawmakers back an extension, however short-term, that contains any funds for Planned Parenthood.
In their budget standoff with Senate Democrats and the White House, House Republicans have tried to focus on cutting federal spending and to avoid contentious issues such as defunding Planned Parenthood or the new health-care law. Lawmakers had hoped to pass another short-term extension that would keep the government open for a few more weeks when the current legislation runs on out March 18.
Now, it appears FRC and other abortion-rights opponents won't make it easy.

WASHINGTON (Jun. 16)
A spokesman for the Spanish Embassy said today that the Arab viewpoint was a factor in Spain's decision to bar Israel from the forthcoming Mediterranean Olympic Games at Barcelona.
The spokesman indicated that Spain felt the Arab countries might not wish to participate if Israel were admitted. He said that "the Spanish Government has looked at Israel with good eyes" but charged that Israel has failed to grant full diplomatic recognition to Spain and has otherwise indicated "unfriendliness."
(In New York yesterday, Col. Harry D. Henschel, chairman of the United States Committee for Sports in Israel and chairman of the U.S. Olympic Basketball Committee, scored the International Olympic Committee's rejection of Israel's appeal against Spain's ban on its participation in Barcelona games next month. Speaking of the IOC action in Paris last Monday, Col Henschel said it "makes a mockery of all the beautiful ideals that the Olympics represent." He revealed that Avery Brundage, head of the IOC, had previously promised U.S. Olympic committee officials that he would aid Israel.)

Hi guys!
I've been wanting to create themeforest templates for a few months, always starting something but dumping it because it is not good enough! I mean I have no problem with coding a finished design (I am very good at it), but about the design aspect – I really began working on improving my design skills 6 months ago (you don't want to see designs made by me a year ago!).
So, before I start yet another template and dumping it because I can't get it good enough, please tell me what do you think about these latest designs created by me. These are templates made especially for some clients, of course I couldn't sell them again, but in terms of my design style, am I "there" yet?
For the last one I actually bought a psd template here made by a wonderful author, because I couldn't get that grunge style right – but obviously I modified it to suit the clients needs and I love that header so much I had to put it here
Thanks in advance for your time!!! Gabi
I don't think you're quite yet there, but you're close, a little work and you should be 'there'
I've seen a lot of designers over here grow with each template they produce. Even some of the top sellers would get a few rejections when they started off – and as you continue to design, your style improves.
The first one you posted: I love it personally, if i were a reviewer i might consider accepting it. 4/5
The second one: It's good but a bit too busy in my opinion 3.5/5
The third: All kinds of stuff lack about this template. I can't quite put my finger on it though but it's not that pleasing 2/5
The fourth: Close, but not quite there yet. Header needs a lot of work 3/5
The fifth: I like it, except for the whole bottom part (what comes under your latest journal entry + mailing list) 3/5
I hope i could help.
My favorites are 1 and 5. I think with minor changes (removing that odd distortion on the light blue top content area for #1 for example, and accenting the rays, etc) that would have made it through. Another thing you should try is different typography.
Thank you very very much for your answers! It really helps hearing all these opinions! I was getting tired of opinions from family and people who know me and I was really feeling a need for a kick in the butt!
I will be back with a new review request of this kind after I feel I improved a bit more
I'm in your shoes as well right now; just trying to get better so I can be a part of the author community on Themeforest. =)
Good luck
Good luck to you too, Jar! And post some of your designs on the forums so we can see them! It's really worth the effort!
I like 1 and 5 the most also:). Here is the theme I'm working on:
I would just like to hear some general opinion, which parts you think are ok and which aren't.
Before more topic-hijacking occurs; Marketplace member Simnor has created an awesome platform to get your design reviewed.
I like 1 and 5 the most also:). Here is the theme I'm working on:
I would just like to hear some general opinion, which parts you think are ok and which aren't.Thanks.

Decorative Bird Treats
Decorative Bird Treats
Part of Ep. 202 Winter Garden Projects
Professional gardener Tibbi Light talks about creating decorative bird treats that brighten winter landscape and attract birds to your yard.
Premiere date: Nov 30, 1993
- Wisc Gardener Transcript:
Well this segment is strictly for the birds. While there's many animals you may not want in your backyard, birds are always welcome visitors in a winter landscape. With me is professional gardener, Tibbi Light. And Tibbi is going to show us some of the ornaments she's made for the birds. Tibbi, what've we got here?
Well hi, Shelley. What we've got here is a collection of materials that we've gathered from the neighboring yards and gardens in the area. And we're starting with a sunflower seed head. A lot of creatures like those. And we took a wire, poked it through it and used it to hang it.
So, it just hangs, alright.
Yeah, and then what we did was we found some Washington Hawthorn berries, which is from the Hawthorn trees which are grown ornamentally. You can find them in people's yards all over.
Well, and the berries stay on the trees all winter long, too. So, they're really pretty just on the trees.
Right, yeah and the birds don't care if they're on the tree or on your decorations so they enjoy it.
Well, now this is sorghum and this is what they use to make sorghum molasses out of. I grew it in my backyard just to experiment with this last year and you plant the seed about the same time you plant corn and up come these really pretty seed heads and the birds seem to just love it. Plus, they're really nice to look at.
That's great, Shelley.
Oh, now here we have a stick on a chain.
Right, this is a piece of wood that we got and we put a chain on the top to hang it from and we drilled holes into it and into the holes we put suet which we've lightly warmed and then you can squish it in. And into that suet you can put dried fruit or nuts or seeds or any little goody that you know a bird would really enjoy to eat.
Well, the dried fruit I know is a favorite in my yard. Well, it looks like then you've added some pirches here, but then you've also got a natural perch for the bird.
Isn't that lovely, yeah. That is right there.
And now this I recognize. This is Highbush Cranberry. It's a native Wisconsin shrub. In fact, I have it growing in my backyard. The Cardinals seem particularly attracted to that. And you've got some other berries. That looks like rosehips and hawthorn again. Now what's this here?
Well, that's a little thing we cooked up, Shelley. We call them nutcups. This is the top of an acorn from an oak tree. The acorn's fallen off and now we have this empty acorn cap which is just perfect for a little serving of a little goody for a bird.
So bird hors d'oeuvres.
Bird hors d'oeuvres, right!
Alright, oh and you've put in dried cherries again and some suet.
Suet and nuts, you could put in peanut butters or little seeds, whatever you notice they really like to eat.
And then you attach them to another log like this. Now this one we wouldn't have to drill a hole because we could just put the suet in the natural cavities.
Yeah, yeah. It's fun to look for things that have natural holes like that.
So just add a chain and a few more decorations and we're ready to hang this one. Well, let's look at the wreath you made, too.
Well, this is a wreath we made, Shelley, from grape twigs and you can either make it yourself or buy them from the garden centers already made. Then onto this, what we did is we put this crabapple vine. And I cut twigs from the crabapple tree and just wired them on. Laced them through and wired them down.
Well now, the Cedar Waxwing seem to really like a lot of the crabapples.
Yeah, they enjoy eating these quite a bit.
Well now, I recognize this. This is Bittersweet. In my yard, it seems to attract bluebirds, but much later in the winter.
Wow, you're so lucky to have them. Yeah, it's nice to put this out later on when they come back. It'll give them a nice treat to start in on.
So, February, March maybe, to hang this kind of wreath. Well now, here I see the nutcups again. And then this is a sunflower head. Now the ones on my yard seem to attract Goldfinches. They just go crazy over these little sunflowers.
Well, that's such a nice way to look at it because you look out your window, you see they really like to eat something, then you know that that's something that you can either put on your wreath or grow in your garden to feed them further.
You can actually plan to plant it and then use it for decorations, as well. OK, what's this?
These are bergamont seed heads or Bee-balm and these I think are the juncos.
Yes, I have them in my yard, yeah. I have them planted outside my window and I don't dead-head them and the birds sit out there all winter. And now this is Purple Coneflower. I know the finches are really fans of this one. Can you show us how you you wire something to this wreath?
Yeah, what you do, Shelley, is you take your material and you literally just wedge it in there and you'll find it kind of sticks and I take a piece of wire and I just tack it around that piece and tie it down tightly so that the winter winds and the little scrambling of the animals don't break it off for you.
Now that's florist wire, so it doesn't show up too much.
Yeah, you can get that at most craft shops
Well, this looks like it was really fun to make.
It was a lot of fun to make on a cold winter day, Shelley.
Well, thank you, Tibbi.
Thank you.
This would make a great gift for bird lovers and for the birds in your backyard.

Fabulous finds
I was browsing my favorite used bookstore in Boca the other day (I say "my favorite," but actually, I think it's the only used bookstore in Boca. Nevertheless.) when I ran across four volumes in the Florida's Fabulous... series. I pounced on them the way a tiger beetle pounces on other beetles, or a robber fly pounces on a bee, even though paying full price for these large format mass market volumes wouldn't break the bank.
So varied are the Hymenoptera, that there are no simple features that label its members at a glance, except perhaps the possession of two pairs of transparent wings, the forewings much larger than the hind wings. This is one of those classroom distinctions that is wonderfully obvious in diagrams, but not at all obvious out in the garden. (138)Or this one:
Studies of Florida Hymenoptera are still in a pioneering stage, and even guesses about the number of species in the state have a wild and wooly quality: probably more than 3,000; probably less than 6,000. More than 1,000 species have been found on the Archbold Biological Station in south-central Florida, so there can be masses of species even at a single site. All specialists working on groups of Hymenoptera find species unknown to scientists when they begin working in Florida. (138–9)Or this one:
Florida has many more species of horse and deer flies than most people realize, largely because one squashed fly looks rather like another. There are about 100 species in Florida. (124)Well, my unofficial quote limit is three, so that's all you get. If you want more, go to any bookstore in Florida and you can find a new copy; I was just excited because I found this one at a discount in a used store. And I think I met the author several years ago when I visited Archbold in the company of an astronomer friend of mine who works there... So, yay me! (Where can you say yay me, if not your own blog?) References Deyrup, Mark. (2000). Florida's Fabulous Insects. Tampa, FL: World Publications. UPDATE: After joining Odonata Central, I discovered that back issues of their newsletter, Argia, are open to the public. So I thought I'd add this review of the book by none other than Sidney Dunkle. It appears in Argia: The News Journal of the Dragonfly Society of the Americas, 12:2, 20 July 2000, pp. 16-17:
FLORIDA'S FABULOUS INSECTS, by Mark Deyrup Book review by Sid Dunkle, Plano, TX. This, one of the most beautiful insect books I have seen, is a large-format, soft-cover book, filled cover to cover with color photos. The principal author is Mark Deyrup, a very knowledgeable entomologist, from whom I learned interesting snippets of information throughout the 169 pages of the book. The Odonata are covered on pages 6 to 25, including 54 color photos oftarvae and adults. The book, published in 2000, has already had 3 printings, and courtesy of editor Tim Ohr, I was able to correct nearly all of the (few) errors that were present in the odonate chapter of the second printing. Some of the odonate photos were posed, some were not. A few of the posed photos are misleading, namely: 1) Three dragonflies are shown perched on flowers, which they rarely do, 2) One female Erythemis simplicicollis is shown eating another as they face each other, and 3) Tramea onusta is shown eating a honeybee, although I have no records of such large prey for this species. My only other objection is that scientific names of species are not given, although the reader will be able to identify nearly all the photos of adult odonates by referencing my Florida field guides.[Updated to correct a couple of typos. Sorry!]

Comme Il Faut: A Gilded Age Tour of Newport
by Sharon McDonnell
"The Lady Sharon has arrived," the parlor maid intoned, announcing my entrance. Like others in the elite "400" group entertained by hotel tycoons Caroline and William B. Astor, I had come to Newport, Rhode Island to celebrate the marriage of Astor son John Jacob IV. The year was 1891.
Another Time, Another Place
Standing on the terrace of Beechwood, the Astor's "summer cottage," I gazed across a vast lawn at the silvery Atlantic. Though the gleaming white fortress was magnificent enough under a bright blue sky and gossamer clouds, the moonlight rendered it simply magical. Inside, ladies swathed in glittering Parisian gowns filled their dance cards for the evening and flirted coyly behind fans, while a pianist practiced the contradances, quadrilles and popular songs in anticipation of the evening's celebrations.
I wasn't dreaming -- I was at a recreation "Gilded Age" ball held weekly at the restored Beechwood between June and October. Posing as the Astor family and servants, an authentically costumed troupe of actors navigates modern enthusiasts through the social and cultural maze that was Gilded Age Newport.
Here, guests can mingle with groom J.J. Astor (who later drowned in 1912 on the ill-fated Titanic), tipple champagne with well-to-do Victorian ladies or waltz to Strauss with noble gentleman decked in coat and tails. The mansion is also open for daytime tours, showcasing the social life and customs of Newport, and Victorian Christmas tours that culminate with a four-course dinner.
Founded in 1639 by seekers of religious freedom, and a safe haven for Quaker and Jewish settlers, Newport was a major colonial port involved in the "Triangle Trade" of rum and slaves between Africa and the Caribbean. After the American Revolution, the town became popular with Southern plantation owners, industrial giants, writers and artists for its cooling summer breezes and natural beauty.
La Dolce Vita
Most of all, Newport dominated the social scene during America's Gilded Age, an era of excessive wealth and prosperity between 1880 and 1929 typified by the decadence and social hypocrisy recounted in novels by Edith Wharton and Henry James. Referred to as "summer cottages," Newport's opulent homes like Beechwood were only lived in for a few weeks a year -- trophy residences for their robber baron owners.
Newport's tony tone was set by residents like the Vanderbilts (who struck it big in railroads), and of course the Astors, whose hotels like the Waldorf-Astoria in New York earned them millions in pre-war dollars.
Of Robber Barons and Royals
The town also teemed with aristocrats -- from English Lords to Russian Grand-Dukes -- who were oft-times impoverished and eager to replenish family coffers by marrying a young heiress. Conveniently, Newport was also full of nouveau-riche matrons desiring to add a title or two to the family name. By 1915, almost 500 American women had married into royalty.
Today, Newport is still the ideal place to relive the grandeur of the Gilded Age, thanks to museum-like preservation of the art and architecture.
Like most major mansions in Newport, Beechwood boasts a direct ocean view. Modeled after French and Italian chateaux and palaces, it is stocked with lavish furnishings and equally extravagant artwork.
Beechwood's actor-guides also introduce visitors to the nuances of Newport etiquette. A calling card placed face up on a tray and handed to the house butler meant a guest was here in person, requesting a visit. Calling cards placed face down, or with corners bent in various ways, signified congratulations, sympathy, or plans to go out of town.
Similarly, if a lady dropped her fan in front of a gentleman, it signified she wanted to be friends. If the man returned her fan so she could open it, the feeling was mutual.
An Opulent Setting
Like Beechwood, several other Newport mansions are open to the public. A gleaming white marvel designed after the Grand Trianon at Versailles, Rosecliff is also noted for the beautiful rose garden, statuary, and fountains, as well as its 3,200-square-foot ballroom -- Newport's largest. In 1904, it provided the setting for the legendary "White Ball," at which women wore white and powdered their hair, and a fleet of a dozen fake, life-sized white ships was docked in the Atlantic outside. At another party, Harry Houdini, weighed down with chains and bricks, was thrown off a barge and escaped underwater. Rosecliff's hostess was Theresa Fair Oelrichs, the daughter of an Irish immigrant who struck the Comstock Lode in Nevada, the richest silver mine ever found.
Marble House, the most ostentatious of the mansions, was built with 500,000 cubic feet of white marble and filled with plum-colored Numidian marble from Algeria, yellow Siena marble from Italy, and Louis XIV and Louis XV-style furnishings custom-made by Paris decorators. In the Gold Ballroom, every square inch is covered with carved gilt wall panels, massive marble mantelpieces, bronze chandeliers and sculptures.
It took nearly four years and $11 million to finish the house, which William K. Vanderbilt gave as a gift to his wife, Alva. Two years later, Alva divorced him; one year later, she married another Newport tycoon, Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, and moved across the street to Belcourt Castle, where Mr. Belmont's beloved horses slept on linen beds.
In her later years, Alva became an ardent supporter of women's suffrage. Meetings for the cause were held in the Chinese Tea House -- a lipstick red and moss green pavilion adorned with dragons -- which she built overlooking the ocean behind Marble House. "Votes for Women" china can be seen in the kitchen of Marble House, and Alva reportedly told a suffragette -- distressed after her arrest -- in 1914, "Pray to God. She will help you."
The biggest and grandest Newport mansion, The Breakers, was built by William's older brother, Cornelius Vanderbilt II. Inspired by northern Italian palazzos in Genoa and Turin, the 70-room limestone mansion is noted for its two beautiful Renaissance-style loggias. The courtyards overlook a point where Atlantic Ocean waves crash against the rocks, giving The Breakers its name.
Within the house, don't-miss sights include the 45-foot-high Great Hall, the marble and gilt-bronze edges dining room, and the library, whose walls -- leather stamped with gold -- are designed to resemble books. Visitors can also experience Gilded Age style by taking a horse-and-carriage ride to the stables.
Behind the Velvet Curtain
Since Newport mansions are such shrines to "conspicuous consumption," visitors often wonder how the other half lived and worked. A behind-the-scenes tour of The Elms, inspired by a chateau outside
Paris and built for Pennsylvania coal magnate Edward J. Berwind, answers these questions. To heat the house, 40 tons of coal a year were transported by underground railroad from a grate in the street to the coal furnaces stoked by men in white shirts.
One of the first Newport homes to be fully electrified -- its opening party in 1901 was lit with 5,000 newfangled lightbulbs instead of candles -- The Elms also features landscaped grounds with statuary of mythical Gods and sunken gardens.
Curiosity about how well-to-do middle class lived in Newport in the Gilded Age can be satisfied by visiting The Cliffside Inn, once summer home to the Turner family of Philadelphia. Its stairway, coral and moss green parlor, and all 16 rooms are filled with over 100 paintings, most depicting women in late Victorian finery. The works -- mainly self-portraits -- were done by Beatrice Turner, the family's daughter, who was scorned by Newport society as an unmarried, mysterious recluse. She poured out her sensitive observations and drawings of the resort's notables and events in her diary. Excerpts can be found in the biography of Ms. Turner, self-published by the inn's owner.
One should take in the natural beauty of Newport as well. Green Animals, the foremost topiary garden in the U.S., is an enchanting place where teddy bears, giraffes, camels, lions, and dogs have been shaped from shrubbery. Part of a serene country estate overlooking Narragansett Bay, the gardens are located in Portsmouth just a few miles from Newport. The most charming way to get here is riding the old-fashioned train -- choose a 1904 open-air coach or 1884 parlor car -- along the edge of Aquidneck Island, where Newport is located.
Also stroll along the Cliff Walk, a rustic 31/2-mile path which borders the ocean and faces the lawns and backs of the mansions.
Newport is "such a combination of natural and contrived beauty, open for the enjoyment of all, and cannot be seen on such terms anywhere else in the world," an English visitor wrote to Liverpool's "Evening Mercury" around 1900. Viewing the wildflowers and breathing in the salt air, today's turn-of-the-century visitor is sure to agree.--Sharon McDonnell

Advising Center
To chart your academic progress during your course of studies.
The faculty and staff of the College of Fine Arts (CFA) would like to welcome you to UNLV. We would also like to encourage you to chart your academic progress during your course of studies here at UNLV by meeting with an advisor in the CFA Advising Center.
First and second year students in Architecture, Art, Dance, Film, Music, and Theatre, and new transfer students are required to meet initially with an advisor at the CFA Advising Center to assist in class scheduling, discuss academic career goals, chart academic progress toward the undergraduate degree, and discuss other concerns you might have as a major (or minor) in the College of Fine Arts.
As students advance past the second year in their respective disciplines, they must seek advising from the school or department of their major. Each area of study has different requirements, as well as recommendations for electives. Departmental links provided here are for reference, and do not substitute for meeting with a department advisor in the second or third year of study.
Scholarship Info
In order to be considered for any scholarships under the departments' authority, the students should contact the person responsible for the scholarships in the department they are majoring in. We strongly encourage the students to go on line and visit the FAFSA website to complete the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA). A list of students who are approved for financial is sent to all departments for their consideration during the scholarship awarding process.
For the four scholarships under the Dean's office authority, students must submit a specific application by March 15, 2016, and return it to Ivana Goga, Scholarship Coordinator, CDC 2, Room 215, telephone: 702-895-5390.

Lauren's mother Carole Salande, who has flown to New York to spend some time with her daughter, says that she is 'thrilled' to welcome another grandchild to the family.
The mother of Simon Cowell's girlfriend Lauren Silverman has opened up about her excitement to welcome the couple's first child. Speaking to E! News, Lauren's mother Carole Salande said that her daughter was expecting a baby boy and Carole was "very happy" about the idea of having another grandson.
"We're all excited and we're all doing well," she said. Carole, who lives in Florida, flew to New York to see her pregnant daughter and celebrate Jewish New Year. "I'm just happy to be up here spending time with everyone," Carole added. "I'm so happy things have calmed down," Carole continued saying, referring to media frenzy concerning her daughter pregnancy news.
During appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" earlier this week, Simon also said similar thing. "Because everyone knows, it was well documented, it was kind of uncomfortable. You know, the situation. But these things happen and everything is kind of calm now and I'm happy. I'm actually happier than I've ever been," the judge of "The X Factor (US)" said.
He added, "I can't blame the media because they've got a juicy story, but there was a lot of stuff said about her, that she trapped me and that she's a gold digger. Absolute nonsense. She's a great girl, but it was awkward because of the circumstances."
In other news, the soon-to-be father was teased by a friend, who asked how Simon would cope if he had a daughter and she dressed in Miley Cyrus' style. "I'm excited more than nervous. Although someone was asking me about all these scenarios," he said, as quoted by U.K.'s Daily Mirror.
"What I'd do if she or he did certain things, like if it was a girl and she dressed to go out like Miley did at the [MTV Video Music Awards], what I would say ... I haven't a clue! I mean honestly, I'm not thinking that far ahead with it. But I'm really looking forward to it," he concluded.

There's a quote that haunts the legacy of the late singer Janis Joplin. "Onstage, I make love to 25,000 people," Joplin once said. "Then I go home alone."
Those words seem to encapsulate perfectly the two sides of Joplin. On the one hand there was the performer, that quintessential '60s acid queen, with her bangles, her rose-tinted glasses, and her feather boas, a trippy, sexy extraterrestrial with a superhuman voice. On the other hand there was the human being: booze in hand, needle in arm, a lonely misfit, always unlucky in love, who channeled her sadness into searing blues music. Joplin's words resonated because they captured the fish-out-of-water-ness of being a woman in the boys' club of rock 'n' roll. And they resonated because they seemed to foreshadow her tragic death, alone in a hotel room at the tender, unlucky age of 27, from a heroin overdose.
But there's a lot of territory between face of the counterculture and cautionary tale. And now to fill in the gaps, we have Amy Berg's new documentary, Janis: Little Girl Blue, which surveys Joplin's life from her difficult childhood as the eccentric daughter of white-bread parents in the conformist town of Port Arthur, Texas; through her early years of musical and sexual discovery in Austin and San Francisco; to her initial success as the front woman for the not-quite-good-enough band Big Brother and the Holding Company; to her superstardom as a solo artist and the out-of-control drug use that accompanied her success.
Berg, who had the full cooperation of the Joplin estate, had access to an archive of letters the singer wrote home to her family. The letters, read for the film by Chan Marshall (aka Cat Power), are intimate not because they reveal the true Janis, but because they reveal her as she wanted her family to see her. In addition, Berg uses archival footage of Joplin's media appearances; concert and studio footage shot by D.A. Pennebaker; and interviews with Joplin's childhood friends, bandmates, former lovers, and siblings. The portrait that emerges is multidimensional and complex. The singer was at turns ambitious, preternaturally talented, intuitively musical, romantic to a fault, omnivorously sexual, magnetically charming, ballsy, deeply empathetic, and painfully insecure. But most of all, Berg reveals Joplin as simply young: a 20-something still struggling to harness a massive talent, still negotiating a painful upbringing, still keeping her fingers crossed that she might be due for some storybook happiness. Seen in that light, her death was not the last gasp of a depressed and doomed woman; it was a foolish, awful mishap, one that kept the world from ever finding out just how powerful and brilliant a fully mature Janis Joplin might have been.
Berg got on the phone with Vogue.com to discuss making Janis: Little Girl Blue and Joplin's complicated cultural legacy.
You just had another major documentary premiere, Prophet's Prey, about the cult leader Warren Jeffs. How did these two projects coincide?
I've been working on Janis since 2007. I heard that her estate was considering collaborating with a filmmaker. I went in for the job like others did. I think I was just very passionate about it. They showed me some letters; I was just really moved by what I saw.
I've had some roadblocks. There were periods when we weren't doing anything. I've been trying to get things moving for a long time. I'd grab interviews with people as I could get them. It wasn't an official deal until three and a half years ago. This is how it works with documentaries: You're working on things, then not working on things. It was a long process.
In that process of familiarizing yourself with Janis's life and her letters, were there things that really surprised you?
It was surprising to me how fearful she was of failure, how much she wanted to please everyone. I think the thing I really learned the most about Janis was about her instincts and her taste. She had such a sense of music and fashion and people. She just knew how to do all of that so instinctually. That's what makes her so unique.
I inherited this idea, maybe from my parents, that Janis's phenomenal musical talent was undermined by a sort of pathetic personal life. Your movie acknowledges that notion, but also complicates it. Were you very aware of wanting to debunk that understanding of her?
Yeah. I was really interested in the idea that Janis has this legacy of being a Southern Comfort–drinking heroin addict who died all alone. I felt like once I started reading letters and talking to people, her life was so much more valuable than those clichés. I don't want to minimize the fact that she was drinking all the time and doing drugs. That ultimately did take her away from us. But I do feel that women are remembered differently than men in that realm of young stars who overdosed. Men are remembered for who they were. Women are remembered for the tragedy, the loss. I wanted to put some breath in that. As tragic as the loss is, [I wanted to show] what her life was like, what she gave up.
This whole thing about feminism, too: The feminists were giving Janis a hard time at the end of her life for being too overt, too sexual. But when she was out there, she was being a feminist without saying she was a feminist, which I thought was really interesting.

The second pre-season test for 2013 begins on February 19 with the four-day session scheduled to be held at Barcelona.
Not only will Fernando Alonso make his first appearance, the Spaniard had skipped the first test at Jerez, in this year's Ferrari but Williams will also debut its new car for the season on Tuesday morning.
Alonso was rumoured to have missed the opening session due to an injury, a claim which his team has denied.
Adrian Sutil too is back, returning behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car for the first time since he was dropped by Force India at the end of 2011. The German will test for the same team on Thursday before handing over the drive to reserve Jules Bianchi on Friday.
The outing will be a crucial one for all teams.
"The theory goes that if a car can be quick in Barcelona, it can be quick in most places," tyre supplier Pirelli affirmed in a statement.
Marussia announced on Thursday that Max Chilton would be driving on the final day too, a decision which left out Luiz Razia from participating in the test.
"Given the stop-start nature of the running (on Thursday), it has made sense to keep Max in the car for consistency and he will therefore continue into (Friday), a day where the weather is likely to intervene in proceedings," the team said in a statement.
Here's the line up for the test so far:
