This week's best content from Asia, courtesy of the Asia Society family.
Japan's master translator, a one-man conduit between American and Japanese literature, shares his thoughts on both literary cultures. Shibata appears with a panel of American and Japanese writers at Asia Society New York this Sunday, May 6.
Asia Society's co-commissioned production of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, inspired by Haruki Murakami's internationally popular novel, received stellar reviews when it ran at the Edinburgh International Festival late last month.
Director Stephen Earnhart's production combined dazzling elements of live performance, music, puppetry and dance/movement with cinematic video and audio technology to create a hypnotic "theater of dreams."

Mawwaige, Mawwaige, Mawwaige. (Yes, I'm a Princess Bride lover, and I couldn't stop myself.) Marriage is something that we experience from birth. We see our parents' marriage, our grandparents', aunts' and uncles' marriages. We see them flirting with each other or fighting, spending time together or avoiding each other, working through their problems or divorcing. As we grow, we start to think about the person we will marry and the relationship we will have with them.
In the Bible, we see many examples of marriage and many scriptures about how to conduct ourselves in marriage. The Bible is full of good advice on love, sex (oh, my goodness, did she just say the S-E-X word? Yes, I did. Blog post on it to follow. You know you're interested.) , and the relationship between you and your spouse.
Hard is a word I don't like to use to describe marriage. Emotional? Yes. Exhausting at times? Definitely. Time consuming? It literally takes a lifetime. (See what I did there?) Confusing? Oh, heavens, yes. And why? Why, why, why?
Because you are two different people. That's why. You are two different people with different wants, different desires, different PERSONALITIES (Will and I could write a series on this topic!), and different biological and emotional needs. You're different. SURPRISE!!!
So, after almost 6 years of marriage and picking the brains of many, many couples who've been married for 20, 30, 50 years or more, here are 3 ways marriage can be hard (and ideas on how to stop it!)
1.) You fight a lot.
I come from a loud family. I know, you have a hard time believing that, but it's true. My family is what my husband calls "full of chiefs and no indians." Translation: Everyone wants to be the leader and no one wants to be the followers. Therefore, a hearty dose of yelling ensues. Not at each other- my family is incredibly close- but we are all loud and bossy. Everyone of us. We yell, even when we are happy. It's just loud. My husband, while also coming from a loud family, is not a loud person. He is not necessarily introverted, but he is relatively quiet. He's also incredibly strong willed, just like his wife. And BAM. Two worlds collide. I get loud, he thinks I'm mad, he gets quieter, I now get mad because he isn't talking to me, and you have this awesome (sarcasm), awkward "fight" on your hands. Now, I don't know how it looks in your family, but it's never fun. So, how do you STOP FIGHTING? Well, you don't. You're going to disagree. You're going to argue. It's going to stink sometimes. But, when you disagree, there is something you can do. Remember that the problem is the problem, not your spouse. Your spouse isn't the enemy, he is your partner, your best friend, your other half. Fix it together.
2.) Your families are difficult.
Well, hello, elephant in the room. If you have both sides of the family that are just easy to handle and everything is hunky-dory, congratulations! You're possibly one in a billion. There MAY be approximately seven others on earth whose families all get along and no one ever meddles and everything is wonderful! For the rest of us, it's a delicate balance. Will and I both have awesome families. They (we) are flawed just like all other families and we may be parading some crazy around on the front porch with sweet tea, but we had to make a decision early on: we are our own family. While your parents, grandparents, siblings are incredibly important and infinitely valuable to you, it is you and your husband against the world. You MUST treat your marriage as the Pentagon of your existence: You defend it against everything, and sometimes that includes your families. There are two of you and you made a covenant before God to protect each other. DO IT.
3.) You have kids.
Yep. I said it. Having children changes a marriage. It makes it more difficult. The moment you bring that beautiful bundle of joy into the world, your marriage is different. It's a fact of life. That doesn't mean it has to change it for the worse. He is going to walk in the door after work to find you exhausted, covered in puke, and in tears. You're going to feel like a milk cow and a maid. You will both have changed from only having to worry about yourselves and each other to being responsible and caring infinitely for another being. Make the extra effort. It's going to be tiring for a while. It's going to be a sacrifice for you to make his plate with a baby on your hip when he is fully capable of making it himself. Do it anyway. You're going to want to go to sleep instead of actively participate in sex. Don't. It might do you some good to wear your sexy panties instead of the grannies you wear because they're comfy. (I'm not judging. I have those grannies, too. They look GREAT under my yoga pants.)
There are a million things that complicate a marriage, from sickness to loss to infidelity. These suggestions aren't all-inclusive. What they are is real. They are annoying. They are life. We have to decide as a married couple that we are going to honor our vows and our God by putting the other person first, always, no matter what.

The long-standing dispute over the sovereignty of the South Atlantic archipelago has been resolved
Nearly 30 years after the Falklands War ended, the United Kingdom and Argentina have finally reached an agreement over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. The South American country has agreed to abandon their claim in return for the Isle of Wight.
The Argentine government has already revealed its plans for the once British island, announcing that the Isle of Wight is to be renamed Día de los Inocentes. Next, houses are to be repainted bright colours to match those in La Boca, Buenos Aires, giving the island a new completely new feel.
In fact, Wanderlust editor Dan Linstead believes the drastic changes to the island means it might even pip Japan in our 2013 Travel Awards.
Although gala goers to Bestival and the Isle of Wight Festival will be disappointed to hear of their cancellations, a new festival has been launched. Get ready for a warble of gauchos taking to the streets in November to celebrate Argentina's traditional Día de la Tradicíon.
Cultivation of the the country's wine grape, Malbec, will begin immediately and bottles of the famed red wine will be on the shop shelves by November 2012, just in time for the funky guitar-twanging gaucho festival.
"I just hope they bring the Argentine weather and sexy tango dancers," said one elderly resident of the newly claimed island.
To stake their sovereignty, a garrison of Argentine soldiers are to occupy Cowes Castle who will issue visas to all Wanderlust wayfarers free of charge.

"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."
"The cards turned out beautifully! I was able to personalize the text so that it read both of our parents names, which was important to me. The colors matched out summer wedding perfectly. I am so pleased with them!"
"By far the cutest card Ive seen for a wedding. My colors are Tiffany Blue & Coral. These were perfect and I got them within 5 days. Can never go wrong with this website & design."
"Purchased these invitations in the standard shade of lilac. They are an amazing design and shade of purple. The invitations are on a very thick card stock. I can't imagine anything I would change about these beautiful invitations. I look forward to framing one next to our wedding photo. My only small complaint is there is a very small amount of black discoloration around some of the outline on one or two of the invitations. I suspect it is just dust from the machinery. It's so minor though that you hardly notice it and the invitations are so perfect that they distract from this issue. I only noticed because I stared at the invitation for a good 10 minutes just admiring it....................."
"out of all of the samples we ordered, the one really stood out! the texture and quality of the paper is amazing, and the design is elegant enough but yet still casual, perfect for our outdoor wedding! we were able to completely customize the colors as well, so they match our colors exactly. We did meadow green blooms with navy accents and grey font. they are stunning in person!"

The 'Ides of March' actor/director will also serve as the producer for the film project, which is based on David Grann's massive article in the May 28 issue of The New Yorker.
George Clooney will once again helm a political movie following his directorial stint in highly-praised drama "The Ides of March". The 51-year-old actor has been sealed to tackle the directing duty for Focus Features' "The Yankee Comandante".
Courtesy of Deadline, Focus is making a rights deal for "Yankee Comandante", which was an article written by David Grann in the May 28 issue of The New Yorker. The studio has tapped Clooney to serve as the director in addition to co-producing the movie project along with his Smokehouse partner Grant Heslov.
Grann's article itself centers on William Alexander Morgan, who helped Fidel Castro and the Cuban rebels overthrow Fulgencio Batista. Morgan was the only American in the rebel army and the sole foreigner, other than Argentinian icon Che Guevara, to rise to the army's highest rank; The Comandante.
Morgan, whose motives for being in Cuba were subject to suspicion, was later imprisoned and charged with working for U.S. intelligence. At the same time, his exploits as a rebel soldier led the first FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and everyone else to work hard to discover his motives and whom he was working for.
As for Clooney, he recently received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor thanks to his role as an indifferent father in dramedy "The Descendants". He's just produced Ben Affleck's upcoming political drama movie "Argo" and will next be seen starring opposite Sandra Bullock in Alfonso Cuaron's adventure pic "Gravity".

Max Lucado has long been an author I enjoy. His books have nuggets of truth throughout that make me want to underline and re-read. His latest, Out Live Your Life, is no exception. It is the common thread of how God chooses to use ordinary people just like us to live out His plan. I love that - you don't have to be anything special - you just have to be willing. Lucado backs it all up with scripture and examples of people God used that were just like us! This was an inspiring read - a good challenge for all of us - all we need to be is willing!!
Here is what the publisher said about the book -
These are difficult days in our world's history. 1.75 billion people are desperately poor, natural disasters are gouging entire nations, and economic uncertainty still reigns across the globe. But you and I have been given an opportunity to make a big difference. What if we did? What if we rocked the world with hope? Infiltrated all corners with God's love and life? We are created by a great God to do great works. He invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven, but here on earth. Let's live our lives in such a way that the world will be glad we did.
Watch a trailer for the book HERE.

He thought of a career in basketball but he broke his back - he ran a company that made £2 million but went bankrupt. He remains resolute and confident - he knows he will be successful. He says "because I lost the pressure of money and I started doing the things I enjoyed".

World Cup Ticketing Update - Feb. 1, 2006
FIFA announced on Wednesday (Feb. 1) the additional allocation of 140,000 tickets to the National Associations participating in the World Cup. At this point in time, U.S. Soccer has not learned of its individual allocation, if any at all. However, it is anticipated that the number of tickets we could receive will be very small because the U.S. games have been in high demand.
As FIFA releases additional information on these tickets, information will be posted on our website and fans in our system will receive an e-mail update. Members on the Priority Waiting List per the original ussoccer.com private sale will receive priority status for any additional tickets received by U.S. Soccer.

He added: "I know that neurosciences at Southmead Hospital Bristol will continue and go from strength-to-strength.

(CNSNews.com) – Actor and liberal activist Sean Penn was "dis-honored" with the "Barbra Streisand Political Award for Celebrity Vapidity" at the 25th anniversary gala of the conservative Media Research Center (MRC), held Thursday evening in Washington, D.C.
At the annual gala, the MRC selects some of the worst examples of what it defines as liberal media bias and celebrity bias and gives "DisHonor" awards to the "winners," who are chosen by a panel of conservative judges.
The MRC is the parent organization of CNSNews.com.
Sean Penn won his DisHonor Award, the "Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity," because of remarks he made about the Tea Party on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight on Oct. 14. 2011.
Penn said, "You have what I call the 'Get the N-word out of the White House party,' the Tea Party. … At the end of the day, there's a big bubble coming out of their heads saying, you know, 'Can we just lynch him?'"

HOUSTON - Spring Branch ISD officials sent out a letter to parents on Wednesday involving two incidents of men approaching students and offering them rides.
According to the letter, a Rummel Creek Elementary student was walking home from school around 4:30 pm Tuesday when she was approached by a man at the corner of Brittmoore and Kimberley.
The man, who was seen driving an older blue-green pickup truck, asked the student if she wanted a ride. The student managed to run back to the school without being hurt.
A second incident occurred as well on Tuesday involving a female student from Memorial Middle School.
Officials said the girl was getting off the bus at Broken Bough and Faust, in the Town and Country area, when she was approached by two Hispanic males in a white pickup truck.
The men asked the student if she wanted a ride home. Officials said she fled on foot to her nearby home.
Two separate police reports were filed. At this time, police said it is not clear if the cases are connected.

I'm confused
This gun is confusing the heck out of me. It is a Polish PPS-43C, and is defined as a pistol. But it looks like it as a folding butt stock. Does this mean it's a SBR? Does it fall under NFA at all? :confused:
The folding stock is welded in position.
Only when the welds are broken and the stock made functional could it be called a SBR and have to be handled accordingly.
I think if I ever get one, I'll just go through the NFA process to make it a rifle. It looks a little heavy for a pistol.
DanF is dead on. I have hands-on experience with these. The stock is welded, but the one I used would be impossible to break the welds on the stock without ruining the upper. Also, the bolt is different from the full-auto version, making it impossible to convert without a parts kit that changes the upper and bolt.

The weekend before classes started back, some friends and I were meeting up in Lexington and looking for something to do. After googling "things to do in Lexington + Aug 17," I came across what would turn out to be the perfect event – the Woodland Art Fair. I didn't know what to expect and suggested it to my friends with the disclaimer that I had no idea if it would be worth our time or not. Once we got there, I immediately found that my fears were in vain. The Woodland Art Fair is an annual event (nearing its 40th anniversary) put on by the Lexington Arts League and Parks and Recreation. Held downtown in Woodland Park (East High Street), the fair consists of hundreds of booths rented by local artists and food venders. Interactive exhibits, family stations and live bands made the park come alive.
Through the afternoon, I saw my fair share of photography, sculptures, ceramics, wood carvings, prints, paintings and jewelry. There were unique items for sale that I can't imagine anyone using as well as things that looked like they would fit into any family's living room. From bonsai trees to handmade necklaces, there was something for everyone. For me, the best part of the event was its local flavor. From bourbon–flavored ice cream made at Crank and Boom to a multitude of horse photographs, the event was Kentucky through and through. People of all ages strolled along and enjoyed some great (and yes, some ridiculous pieces of) art in the sunshine. So next time you're looking for something to do on a weekend in August, check out the Woodland Art Fair and witness some of the creative energy of central Kentucky.

"I customized them for my bridal shower to blush and added a photo of my fiancé. I went to michaels and bought some stick on rhinestones and added 2 to the monogram area. They were great quality and I got so many compliments. People also loved that I added an engagement shoot photo of my fiancé and I to the back of the menu."
"I ordered these Menu cards for a Bridal Shower I am hosting and I needed to make quite a few adjustments to the overall layout design as I wanted to customize it to include a "To Sip" section of bottomless Mimosas, a 5 choice Entree option in a "To Eat" section and a final Dessert "To Taste" section. I filled out the Menu the best I could online and then told the designers what adjustments I was looking to make. The end result came out perfect and it will be just that special personalized added extra touch to everyone's place settings at the shower!"
"I loved the design from the start, but the best part for me was the AMAZING designer. When I indicated in the notes to the designer/editor which font I liked, they made an GORGEOUS with that font. I cannot even explain how perfect it is! I never really thought much of a menu at the wedding, but these turned out so perfectly, I can't wait for guests to see these!"
"I needed to get this done right away! The website makes it so easy you enter the information and you save it with a named file. Select the card, try a couple and then select one. I customized the color, format and the design team was so helpful. Actually gave you useful suggestions, changed font size, centered it, I would recommend this card to Product arrived ahead of time. It is beautiful and perfect for a rehearsal dinner. Staff are Completely reliable and always available to answer your questions! Will always use this company in the future and recommend it to my friends."
"I want to thank Juan , Takashi, Matt, Angela, Renee, Russel and everyone who helped me at wedding paper divas. Everyone who helped me was beyond patient, helpful and curtious. The end result was beautiful and when I had a problem , Weddingpaperdivas was very helpful. I would definitely, without a doubt use you again and absolutely recommend you to others. Thank you again, Ariela"

It is unprecedented for a nation to lose its political and intellectual elite twice, in the same place, 70 years apart. What happens next could act as a litmus test for how far Polish-Russian relations have come.
The passenger list from the Tupolev TU-154 jet, which crashed in western Russia on Saturday killing all 96 people onboard reads like a who's-who of Poland's political elite.
President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria, the Chief of the Polish Armed Forces, the Deputy Foreign Minister, Head of the Polish National Bank, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, along with the president's chief-of-staff and a swathe of top advisers. ''Today's world has never seen a tragedy of this kind,'' said a visibly shaken Polish PM Donald Tusk.
What makes this tragedy a catastrophe for Poles is why such a high-ranking delegation was flying to Smolensk in the first place. Their mission was to commemorate the Katyn massacre of spring 1940 when Stalin ordered the execution of 22,000 members of Poland's professional classes in a concerted attempt to stymie a generation of leaders. This was followed by years of Soviet denials until the early '90s when Mikhail Gorbachev admitted the NKVD had been responsible. Yet the issue remained a source of lingering tension, with a ceremony last week attended by Vladimir Putin and Polish PM Donald Tusk marking the first time a Russian leader had invited his Polish counterpart to the site.
President Kaczynski's ill-fated visit this week held a different significance. Accompanying him was the head of the Institute of National Remembrance and the secretary-general of the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites, both of whom were seen as key allies in the Polish President's battle to keep Katyn on the agenda. Despite trailing in the polls and widely tipped to lose the upcoming election, Poles had still reserved some admiration for Kaczynski's commitment to the politics of history.
It is significant therefore that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was the first to offer his condolences to the entire Polish people. The appointment of Putin to head the investigation into the crash is similarly calculated to show the gravity with which Russia is treating the incident. As a nation in mourning looks for a seemingly impossible silver lining, all eyes are on an investigation, which may reveal a new spirit of co-operation to replace old tensions.

Re: Learn Hindi - Free lessons
Do you remember learning your first language? Probably not, because we all started learning our first language when we were babies. How long did it take for us to become "good" at it? How long between the time we were grunting and pointing and the time that we started having meaningful conversations? It took years and years and years and that is after focusing on it everyday. People smiled and patiently corrected our mistakes. And we learned, a little each day.
I'm pretty sure that what's left of Chomsky in me is revolting right now... if you know what I mean.

Florence, Ariz. • The nation's third execution in six months to go awry rekindled the debate over the death penalty and handed potentially new evidence to those building a case against lethal injection as cruel and unusual punishment.
Joseph Rudolph Wood took nearly two hours to die and gasped for about 90 minutes during his execution in Arizona on Wednesday. The execution took so long that his lawyers had time to file an emergency appeal while it was ongoing. The Arizona Supreme Court also called an impromptu hearing on the matter and learned of his death during the discussions.
"He has been gasping and snorting for more than an hour," Wood's lawyers wrote in a legal filing demanding that the courts stop it. "He is still alive."

"I just love this," Daniel Ast said as he accelerated through the S turn of an on-ramp to I-405, demonstrating one of the many traits that have made the 74-year-old Westminster resident a Volvo loyalist for decades.
"It's the handling, the fuel economy for its performance and comfort," he said.
Over the past 55 years, Ast has owned an astounding 25 cars from the Swedish automaker.
What started with a bulbous PV 544 in 1959 led to his ownership of a sleek P1800 coupe in 1962, followed by a smattering of 140 sedans, 240 wagons, 242 turbos, Bertone coupes and, most recently, Polestar versions like his current daily driver – the 325-horsepower S60 R.
Ast has owned so many Volvos over the years, in fact, that in many cases he's lost track of the particular makes and models. But he knows precisely which car inspired his loyalty – the P1800.
"That's the one that caused me to keep buying them," said Ast, who grew up in Los Angeles.
After a visit to Hollywood Sports Cars to upgrade his P1800 with Weber carburetors, "I made a left turn and some guy came down the wrong side of the street," Ast said.
"He probably hit me doing 35. He knocked me across the intersection. Some lady came out of her house and looked in the car and said, 'I thought you'd be dead.' After that, you find out how safe they are, and it's hard to get out of 'em," said Ast, who didn't even need to visit the hospital. He repaired the car and "everything was fine."
Following a two-year stint in the Army, Ast commandeered his brother's Volvo 544 with more than 350,000 miles on the odometer that "ran perfect," he said.
His only bad experiences with Volvos were a problematic 2012 S60 that was bought back by the dealer under California's lemon law and in 1967, when he owned a pale blue P1800 that was so light-colored he kept getting rear ended – first by a Karman Ghia, then a Jaguar Mark X and finally by "a rather large Rolls-Royce," he said.
At the recommendation of his brother, he sold the P1800 and bought a Shelby 427 GT 500, but the insurance payments were so brutal and the police so tuned to its exhaust that he got rid of it.
"I sold it to some dentist in Beverly Hills for more than I paid for it and got back into Volvos, and that's been it," said Ast, a retired Los Angeles Times press operator who hasn't been in a fender bender since 1973.
Like many drivers, Ast puts about 13,000 miles per year on his Volvos. Unlike most drivers, however, he only owns his cars for about two years, at which point he trades them in for the newest model. He's bought 17 of his cars from Volvo of Orange County at the Santa Ana Auto Mall, which knows him as such a loyal customer that they are reserving one of the two Polestars they're getting this year just for Ast.
This summer, he plans to trade his 2013 S60 Polestar for a 2015 V60 sport wagon Polestar with a turbo- and supercharged six-cylinder engine. Both cars are in an exclusive shade for Volvo's performance-oriented Polestar division – "rebel blue."
Ast was hoping to be a little less rebellious with a white exterior on the 2015 sport wagon, but Volvo dropped the color from its 2015 Polestar lineup, leaving just blue and black as options.
"I'll never have a black car. To keep it looking nice is two times the work of the blue," said Ast, who is partial to color-matched blue T-shirts that also match his eyes – and those of his Siberian husky, Sam.
Bright blue Volvos are so uncommon that "the neighbors know where I am," Ast said. "If you want to go somewhere and not be known, this is not the car to be driving."
It's merely a car that's likely to be driven by Ast – at least until he purchases his next Volvo.

Name: Oslo Coffee Company
Location: 133 Roebling Street, Brooklyn, NY
Rating: 3 3-
It was 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon, getting dark and cold outside. Me? I had been sitting in my father-in-law's car for nearly two hours, my daughter sleeping peacefully in the back. I was ready to get out. I had already missed a chance to stop off at the Donut Plant – even the cops don't look favorably on a father leaving his daughter sleeping in the car for a donut run – and now I was about to flub my hastily thrown together plan to visit Oslo Coffee. Oh, the sacrifices of parenthood.
Before Oslo, I don't remember the last time I discovered a good coffee spot. I mean the kind of discovery where you don't have a tip or a recommendation or haven't read a review. I was returning to Manhattan from Brooklyn a few months ago, coffee from Gimme! in my hand (a pre-blog excursion, but I can say that Gimme is worth the trip!), when a guy sat down across from me on the subway. His cup said Oslo. I noted the name to look up later. On the plane trip home from New York, I struck up a conversation with a couple from Brooklyn. The conversation turned to coffee and they mentioned their favorite spot, Oslo. It seemed the Nordic gods were calling to me. I made it a point to go on my next trip back east.
After starting the car, re-parking it a few feet away and clearing my throat, I was happy to find my daughter awake from her nap. We headed inside. The northern and main location (the southern location is close by but I had trouble finding it) was really pleasant inside with some pretty good seating and an old Probat roaster teetering on some wooden planks, pipes protruding wildly out the back, hastily inserted into the walls.
The guys behind the counter were nice and explained that they hoped to have it up and running soon, but that the zoning laws were starting to wear them down. Until that day, they'll continue to get their coffee from a New Jersey roaster (not sure which one) who blends and roasts it to their liking. They have only a handful of coffees with a couple of single origins and some suitably Nordic named blends like Thor.
Seeing as it was nearly 5 PM, I ordered a decaf cappuccino and a Thor house blend (to take back home for someone else who didn't mind the late night caffeine). The cappuccino was a little stale tasting and I can't say the foam was particularly noteworthy. I would give it a 2, but I have to recognize that it was a decaf.
The Thor blend was really intriguing. I don't remember the beans in the blend, but there were three. I think mostly Central American. It had an impressive complexity about it with clear and distinct low medium and high notes. I can't clearly describe the flavors, but none were bitter and there was a definite burst of acidity. What hit me was a musical analogy. It was a little like a tritone chord – harsh and dissonant at first, but something I grew to appreciate even if it wasn't comforting. This complexity in their house blend and their aspirations to roast their own, despite the poor espresso experience, lead me to give them a 3. These guys are worth watching.
Update 4/3/09: On my most recent trip to New York I stopped quickly back by Oslo mostly to take a few pictures although I couldn't help but retry the coffee that worked well in the shop but not so well at home. It turns out there have been a few changes. They've pulled out the roaster, but the owner is starting to play around with some roasting off-site. I tried a bit of that coffee – his new blend – and wasn't particularly impressed. It was fresh tasting, but certainly pushing the envelope in terms of over-roastedness.
The good news, that I didn't actually know before, was that Oslo uses Caffe Vita for its espresso. Now I wasn't wowed by Vita's Fuel blend that I tried a while back, but it can make an above-average espresso that's certainly better than your usual chain coffee affair. And, at Oslo they use a handsome 3-group Synesso Cyncra to pull your shots so they must know something about coffee (I lost my notes so please let me know about the machinery)! Of course, I was in a rush, so I didn't actually try the espresso.
Overall, while I don't discount my original experience with the Thor Blend, having re-tasted it at home, the current blends dark roast, and my experience with Vita's espresso, I have to downgrade Oslo slightly.

Bemidji State men's hockey: Nagle coin set in concrete at each end of BREC arena
Before the 2002 Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City, Canadian ice makers placed a Loonie coin on the arena floor under the center ice face-off dot before making the ice for the hockey tournaments.
The Canadian men and women won the gold medals.
In 2008, a Boston baseball fan buried a Red Sox jersey in the concrete at the new Yankee Stadium construction site.
At great expense, the jersey was chipped out.
Even the John Glas Fieldhouse on the Bemidji State University campus was infiltrated last summer when a member of the rival Alabama-Huntsville team placed a horse, representing their Chargers mascot, somewhere in the arena. It has yet to be found.
The Bemidji Regional Event Center, new home to Beavers hockey, will have its own talisman, or maybe it could be considered a memorial to a fallen teammate.
Tom Kaplan, a defenseman for the Beavers in the mid 1970s and current public address announcer, came up with the idea to place a Galen Nagle medallion in the concrete floor of the new arena.
Nagle was a goalie for the Beavers from 1980-84. He worked as a coach and teacher in Minnesota for several years before losing his life to cancer in 1996 at the age of 34.
"Galen loved hockey and he loved being a goalie," Kaplan said. "He was a lot like (former BSU coach) Bob Peters. He cheered for both goalies to perform well."
Kaplan says he got the idea from his knowledge of the Salt Lake City and Yankee Stadium incidents.
On Wednesday morning crews from Gustafson and Goudge, Inc. poured 320 yards of concrete on the BREC arena floor. Through Kaplan's friendship with professional concrete layer Tim Port, a former Bemidji High School goalie, a medallion was placed in the concrete at each end of the arena.
The medallion was inset and epoxied on the concrete.
"I understand it's not BSU's arena, (but) once the ice is on you won't be able to see it," said Kaplan. "I just wanted something special for a young man who loved hockey and loved being a goalie."
Each year the BSU hockey program sponsors the Galen Nagle Memorial Golf Tournament to raise money for scholarships. This year's event will be played July 16 at the Bemidji Town and Country Club.

The Weinsten Co. is required to rename the Lee Daniels-directed movie after losing an arbitration case to Warner Bros.
"The Butler", director/writer Lee Daniels' upcoming movie which is headlined by Forest Whitaker, apparently will be released in theaters under a new name. Variety reports that Warner Bros. has won the rights to the title. Therefore, the Weinstein Company needs to find a new title for the White House drama.
However, TWC is fighting back. Brushing off the ruling which requires it to remove the word "Butler" from any promotional effort for the film, the studio has appointed attorney David Boies to handle an appeal and possible lawsuit against WB, which has claimed protective rights to the title because of its ownership of a 1916 silent comedy short of the same name.
"The suggestion that there is a danger of confusion between TWC's 2013 feature movie and a 1917 short that has not been shown in theaters, television, DVDs, or in any other way for almost a century makes no sense," says Boies in a statement. "The award has no purpose except to restrict competition and is contrary to public policy."
Set for an August 16 release in the U.S., "The Butler" introduces Whitaker as an African-American servant named Cecil Gaines who worked in the White House during eight presidencies. It is based on Wil Haygood's Washington Post article, titled "A Butler Well Served by This Election".
It also stars Oprah Winfrey and Robin Williams among others.

Spoiler for above:
You need more shadows on these. Think of the light source and how it would affect the shadowing on the characters. In the top one, the only light source would be the lightning right? Ever seen how movies/anime draw characters in lightning storms? A lot darker and major highlights on some key points. Same for the one below. If there is a spotlight coming from above to make that ground light up, then the top of his head would be bright and towards the bottom, get darker. Think of how a shadow like the one you created would be made.

MORE than 100 older Redditch residents turned out to enjoy themselves at a seaside themed party recently.
Organised by Redditch Council's home support service, the party at Studley Road Social Club included entertainment from male vocalist Paul James, dancing, a knobbly knees competition, peep board photographs, raffle and D-Day commemoration.
Partygoers also enjoyed fish and chips for lunch from Merchants Fish Bar, ice creams from Tina's Ice-Cream Van and afternoon tea.
Sue James, home support supervisor, said: "The staff who put on the party had nearly as much fun as the residents.
"The whole team is proud to have been involved in such a great event but our biggest thanks have to go to the residents that attended for making it such a fantastic day.

What Kind Of Toothpaste Should You Use?
Experts help you choose the best product for your teeth

Choices, choices...
If you're lazy about brushing and flossing, no toothpaste will save your smile. But for those who stick to their dentist's directives, the right gel or paste could prevent gum pain, stained teeth, cavities, and other more serious dental debacles, says Ada Cooper, DDS, a New York-based dentist and spokesperson for the American Dental Association (ADA).
"Choosing a brand can be tricky because there are just so many options," says Dr. Cooper. First things first: Always look for the ADA seal on your toothpaste's box. "This shows the product has been tested, its claims are legitimate, and its ingredients are effective," she explains. Also, whether you like pastes or gels, cinnamon or spearmint flavors, keep in mind that those factors have nothing to do with your dentifrice's effectiveness, Dr. Cooper adds.
Read on to determine which toothpaste is right for you.If you have yellow teeth...
Whitening toothpastes contain mild abrasives that help polish teeth and prevent the buildup of additional stains—but they won't have much impact on older discolorations, says Augusto Robles, DDS, director of operative dentistry at the University of Alabama, Birmingham.
To get a whiter smile, look for pastes or gels that contain modified silicone abrasives, Dr. Robles advises. He says Rembrandt Deeply White and Ultra Brite Advanced Whitening are two effective options. If you're not satisfied with the results after one month, ask your dentist about in-office solutions.
More from Prevention: 6 Teeth Whitening Mistakes You're MakingIf you're plagued by cavities...
All day every day, a sticky film of bacteria is trying to form on your teeth, Dr. Cooper says. That film is plaque, and it interacts with certain foods—mostly sugars—to produce acids that eat away at your tooth's enamel, which results in tiny holes (cavities), she says.
The solution? The mineral fluoride, which the ADA refers to as nature's cavity fighter. It coats teeth and protects them from cavity-causing acids. While most toothpastes contain fluoride, Dr. Cooper says you can be certain any product that feature the ADA seal and claims to be "anti-cavity" will do the job.
Another tip: Brushing and spitting—but not rinsing—leaves fluoride behind and gives the ingredient more time to work, which can further help those who are cavity prone, says Dr. Robles. If all else fails, prescription cavity fighters like Colgate PreviDent could also help, he says.
More from Prevention: 25 Foods Dentists Won't EatIf you have sensitive teeth or gums...
If your dentist has ruled out other problems like cavities or root infections, the issue could be that you're brushing too roughly, says Sally Cram, DDS, a Washington DC-based periodontist. You could also have extra sensitive gums or exposed roots, which aren't necessarily signs of poor brushing or flossing habits, Dr. Robles adds.
Opt for toothpastes containing a desensitizing ingredient like strontium chloride or potassium nitrate. "There's essentially no difference between the two," Dr. Cooper says, and either may help lessen the pain. The ADA approves multiple brands, including several products from Sensodyne.If you want to prevent tartar buildup...
Tartar, which dentists sometimes call "calculus," comes from bacterial plaque that has hardened, Dr. Cooper says. No matter how much you brush, once the tartar has formed, only that little pick your dentist wields can scrape it off, she adds. However, toothpastes containing tartar-fighting elements can prevent the plaque from hardening. Look on the label for ingredients like pyrophosphates or zinc citrate, Dr. Cooper advises. Crest Tartar Protection is one ADA-approved option.If you're looking for a natural product...
All-natural, herbal toothpastes can be just as effective as anti-microbial based pastes, Dr. Robles said. "If the toothpaste has the ADA seal, it's going to be effective," Dr. Cooper adds. The all-natural toothpaste maker Tom's of Maine offers ADA-approved whitening and anti-cavity options.If you wear dentures...
Dr. Robles says toothpastes for regular teeth will work just as well for dentures, so any ADA-approved products will do the job. That said, effervescent tablets or solutions have been shown to clean more effectively than brushing, he says. Denture-cleansing products made by Fixodent are effective ADA-approved options.AdvertisementAdvertisementLet's Stay In Touch

AN EXPERT embroiderer has created a stunning tribute for the Red Arrows' 50th anniversary year.
Pamela Roberts, who lives in Branksome, has had her work displayed across the world and been thanked in the past by officials at Buckingham Palace for her creations.
She has spent the last two years working on her latest intricately woven piece which she hopes will be displayed at the Red Arrows headquarters in Scampton.
Pamela, whose late father was in the Royal Air Force, said she has always felt closely connected to the Red Arrows and wanted to use her talent to create something suitably special for the milestone year.
"I have been doing needle work all my life and created my first tribute to the Red Arrows many years ago," she added.
"I think they are just incredible – 200,000 people come out to watch them every year and they are now so strongly associated with Bournemouth."
Pamela already has other examples of her work hanging at Scampton and was delighted when she was once again authorised to use the Royal Crest.
The design stitched into the large piece of fabric took Pamela hundreds of hours of painstaking work.
She said producing the piece of art had been a privilege and described her life of embroidering tributes to the country's great institutions as 'like a fairytale'.
The Red Arrows have been the highlight of the air festival since it began in 2008 and at this year's event the jets will take to the skies on each day of the show for the first time.
The event is being held between August 28, and August 31.

Mark Coker from Smashwords offers a long explanation of why he thinks Agency pricing actually lowers the cost of e-books for consumers. He offered this explanation in an hour-long call with the Department of Justice this week (Does Agency Pricing Lead to Higher Book Prices?):
Yesterday I had an hour-long conference call with the DoJ. My goal was to express why I think it's critically important that the DoJ not take any actions to weaken or dismantle agency pricing for ebooks.
Even before the DoJ investigation, I understood that detractors of the agency model believed that agency would lead to higher prices for consumers.
Ever since we adopted the agency model, however, I had faith that in a free market ecosystem where the supply of product (ebooks) exceeds the demand, that suppliers (authors and publishers) would use price as a competitive tool, and this would naturally lead to lower prices.
I preparation for the DoJ call, I decided to dig up the data to prove whether my pie-in-the-sky supply-and-demand hunch was correct or incorrect. I asked Henry on our engineering team to sift through our log files to reconstruct as much pricing data as possible regarding our books at the Apple iBookstore.
In plain English, we've seen the average price of books in our catalog drop from $4.16 in October 2010 to $2.97 today.

Prior to becoming a graduate student at Baylor, I was a high school teacher living the high life on the Nebraska taxpayers' dime. I still remember teaching a lesson on late-19th century U.S. imperialism during my first year. At some point in the lecture, I wrote the letters WASP on the board and duly began going through each letter. I knew I'd have some explaining to do on the Anglo-Saxon part, but otherwise I expected to be able to brush quickly through my explanation and move on.
To my surprise, it was the Protestant part of WASP that caused more confusion than any other. I hadn't prepared myself beforehand to explain something that I thought was so basic, and I'm sure that my attempts to describe Protestantism brought little clarity. I vaguely remember drawing a timeline on the board at some point and launching into a mini Christian history lecture, replete with mentions of the Great Schism, the Reformation, and a listing of the various churches that would be considered Protestant.
When it was all done, I remember one student raising his hand. It was a welcome sight, since I had seen nothing but blank stares for the entirety of my impromptu presentation. But then he opened his mouth. "Mr. Putz, I don't think we are allowed to talk about religion in school," he said.
That final scene, and scenes very much like it, happened each of the four years that I taught high school social studies. It's only anecdotal evidence, sure, but in my experience many high school students lacked even a basic understanding of religion, its role in U.S. history, and the legality of discussing religion in a social studies class in the first place. Despite the fact that it is perfectly legal to teach about religion, the topic is imbued with such controversy and sensitivity that many textbooks, curriculum frameworks, and teachers (although not these Kentucky teachers) tend to avoid the subject or only give it a cursory nod. I am by no means the first to recognize this. Plenty of others, such as Stephen Prothero, have pointed out our need for more religious education in public school. But what interests me here is not to "amen" Prothero's suggestion that we establish religion classes in our schools. Instead, in keeping with the nature of this blog, I would like to briefly examine how religion in addressed within American History curriculum frameworks in high schools across the country.
The word cloud above was generated with wordle, a very basic textual analysis tool that is popular in high school teaching circles (yes it is embarrassing to use wordle when Lincoln Mullen is doing what Lincoln Mullen does). To create the cloud, I simply copy/pasted the text of the American history state curriculum standards from all 50 states and clicked "Go." Just in case you don't know how wordle works: the more times a word is included in the copy/pasted text, the larger it will appear in the word cloud. Because I used such a large body of text (approximately 100,000 words), any words that appears in the word cloud were frequently used (for example, "African," which is not one of the larger words, was used around 140 times). I should also mention that I copy/pasted not only the state standards, but also any accompanying content-related guidelines or frameworks included online by the state department of education.
There are a number of things that stand out on a cursory glance. First is the inclusion of many non-content words that are part of educational social studies jargon (analyze, impact, describe, role, effects, understand, etc). Second, when you start looking for the words that specifically address historical content, "war," "economic," "social," and "political" stand out above all others while "people," "events," "government," and "development" (among others) occupy the next tier. This is essentially how most American history content is organized, at least as it is expressed in state standards: there are a few broad themes (social, political, economic, occasionally cultural), each which includes developments related to specific events, people, and groups, all of which are to be studied in the context of different eras (like the Great Depression, the Civil War, World War II, Civil Rights Movement, Reconstruction, and so on).
You'll notice when you dig a little deeper that the word "religious" did make the cut of oft-repeated words, and it would have been slightly more prominent if it was combined with mentions of the word "religion." It may not be in the starting lineup, but at least the concept of religion is on the team and it does have a space, however small, within American History curriculum. Of course, this very broad textual analysis is not nearly adequate to fully understand the inclusion of religion within American history curriculum. Religion can be implied within a standard even if the standard does not actually mention the word "religion." And simply including the word religion in a state standard tells us nothing about how religion is supposed to be covered. Furthermore, the state standards are not necessarily accurate representations of what is taught in the classroom. Some state standards are mere suggestions, and the power of what content to teach is actually controlled by local school districts. Other state standards are terribly vague, allowing for a wide range of teacher latitude in how to interpret them. You could certainly fit religion in under a standard like "understand the impact of social reform movements through U.S. history." Even so, state standards are one important piece of the puzzle when it comes to understanding what is taught in high school classrooms. They at least help us recognize the broad contours of what high school students are expected to learn.
|From Arkansas, a standard that begs the question: Who the hell is William Glidden?
I found Butler's analysis to be mostly true of the state standards. Religion was usually featured in early American history (sometimes even Native American religion was included), and occasionally it received mention in antebellum America (usually with the Second Great Awakening or with reform movements like abolition and temperance). But in the presentation of post-Civil War history religion rarely made the cut, aside from the Social Gospel, the Scopes trial, and the Jewish experience during the Holocaust (which is not usually presented with religion in mind). Another problem with many state standards was the lack of precision. Too often, religion was relegated to a single, vague statement, something like Iowa's standard that students should "understand the significant religious, philosophical, and social movements and their impacts on society and social reform."
Despite the obvious problems, it should be noted that the task of featuring religion in a comprehensive way in a high school American History class is even more difficult than figuring out how to identify turning points in American church history. After all, the high school class is supposed to include all aspects of American History. No matter how the curriculum is designed, it will leave out important aspects of religious history. Still, designers of high school curriculum have not everything about religion to include, but something, and preferably something that presents religion as an ever-present element of American history from pre-colonial to the present.
California (see screenshot below) was the most impressive state in this regard, and not just because they were the only state to actually mention Billy Sunday and Dwight Moody:
3) Its standards were the "most fact-based and patriotic in the entire United States." Let the reader make of this what he or she will.
Americans have shied away from a discussion of religion in the abstract and from conversations about religion in particular. This is a part of our national heritage––the failure to discuss religion, the idea that religion is such a private phenomenon that it cannot be discussed in the classroom, that it's inappropriate to discuss it in a high school assembly, that it's inappropriate to discuss American religious traditions in an American history class, beyond the Puritans. This failure to deal intellectually and collectively, as well as individually, with the problem of religion is the major reason we are here at this kind of conference...We're poorly prepared to comprehend a world that is aflame in faith.We are now ten years from the conference, which served as a symbol of the consensus that public schools must teach about religion. Meanwhile, within the academic world the study of religion in American history is as popular as ever. But will that popularity have implications for the high school classroom? The process of diffusing knowledge from the ivory tower is fraught with snags, set-backs, and dead-ends, not the least of which is figuring out how to make scholarship accessible and understandable to students who have little prior knowledge of religion. It is going to take some time before teachers are adequately trained (resources like this are a start), appropriate textbooks are published, and more robust state curriculum standards are implemented. And even then, the combustive and politically charged nature of religion in the public square means that any changes in how history is presented will face scrutiny, suspicion, and opposition.
Other contributors to this blog have recently highlighted some of the ways (from helping heal historical wounds to addressing how media covers religion) that scholars can become more involved in the broader public realm. Despite the potential for frustration, it seems to me that the high school classroom is another area in which religious studies scholars and historians of religion -- following the lead of Diana Eck, Jon Butler, and others -- can play an important public role.
