Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro Tablet 700T Review
Is it a tablet - or an ultraportable? The Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T is both. Running Windows 8, which has famously merged both touch and standard desktop into a single operating system and shipping with a removable keyboard, this device could be considered the ultimate convertible PC. The latest ATIV packs an Intel Core i5 processor alongside 4GB of DDR3 RAM, while a 128GB SSD handles storage. Everything is displayed on a bright, 11.6-inch LED backlit display. The ATIV Pro has a bit more horsepower than the average tablet, but it also comes with a much larger price tag. Street price comes in at around $1,199, which is a far cry from traditional tablet prices. It is also a lot heavier. Weighing in at around 2 pounds sans keyboard, an all-around e-reader alternative, this is not. Is this flexible tablet/notebook worth the price of admission? Read on to find out.
Main Features and Specifications:
- 1.7GHz Intel Core i5-3317U Processor
- 11.6-inch Capacitive LED Full HD Touchscreen (1920 x 1080)
- 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM
- Intel HD Graphics 4000
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- Micro HDMI, USB 3.0, microSD Ports
- Integrated Webcam, Microphone, Speakers
- Includes Keyboard Dock
- Windows 8 (64-bit)
What We Liked:
- Feature Packed, Versatile: The Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro Tablet 700T is quite the multi-tasking machine. It can function as both a tablet and a traditional laptop. It has enough power to do real computing work and enough battery life to make it through a good portion of the workday. To enter information you can choose from the touch keyboard, physical keyboard or the included S-Pen stylus. Windows 8 is a good match for a device like the 700T because it offers the best of both words. Shifting between Tiles and the full OS can be accomplished as easily as this tablet can be converted in and out of its physical keyboard.
- Fast Processor: One of the first things you notice about the ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T is the fact that it differentiates itself from the standard tablet by including a very capable Intel Core i5 processor running at 1.7GHz. This propels the convertible along at a solid clip and during mixed use as both a tablet (browsing web, toggling through apps, etc.) and a laptop (using traditional windows applications) it showed no sign of bogging down.
- Great Display: If PPI is what lights up your day, the 11.6-inch LED display on the ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T is sure to bring a smile to your face. Running at 1920x1080 this is a full HD display, capable of displaying HD video in its native format and resolution. All those pixels make for an excellent overall user experience. Video and images were vibrant and exceptionally clear, text was crisp and we could find no complaints with the excellent panel Samsung used on their Surface Pro fighter.
- Solid Multimedia Performer: The integrated stereo speakers with SoundAlive processing are plenty loud. The front and rear-facing cameras are good for a tablet and a micro HDMI port on the back lets you easily pipe out audio and video to a larger display or TV. We loved consuming 1080p YouTube content on the crisp display and found the Pro 700T worked well as an entertainment machine.
What We Didn't Like:
- Is it A Tablet or Ultraportable?: On paper, the ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T sounds like a really cool idea. It more or less has the specs of an ultraportable but can break free from the burden of physical keys and live in the ever-popular tablet format. The problem is, it can't do either as well as the dedicated hardware in either category. As an ultraportable, the battery life falls short, it's moderately overweight and the keyboard isn't great. Life as a tablet is somewhat better, but the sheer weight of two pounds causes fatigue after only a short while. With single-purpose tablets tipping the scales at one to one and a half pounds, the idea of a two-pound tablet begins to seem unreasonable. We would have liked to see a weight reduction by placing half of the battery pack in the detachable keyboard. At the very least, this would have improved the tablet experience significantly.
- Keyboard: The nice thing about the included keyboard is that it can be attached in two seconds. Just pop the Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro Tablet 700T in and you are good to go. The tablet instantly recognizes its new appendage and you can begin using the track pad and physical keys immediately. However, that is where the fun ends. For starters, the connection from the keyboard to the tablet was plagued with connection issues. Every other minute the 700T would signal its friendly chime notifying us that the keyboard was connected À only we hadn't disconnected it. After about 20 minutes of use, we gave up on the keyboard entirely. This issue may have been isolated to our review unit, but it is concerning nonetheless. The other issue with the keyboard is the lackluster track pad. It's small size and moderate responsiveness made us do most of our gesturing on the actual screen.
Our Verdict:
The Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro Tablet 700T works equally well as a tablet and an ultraportable laptop. However, when put up against a standard tablet or traditional ultraportable laptop, it begins to show some weakness. As a tablet, it weighs more than what many users would consider acceptable. As a dedicated laptop, battery life isn't as good as the competition and the design is on the clunky side. However, 700T represents a real alternative to Microsoft's Surface Pro and upcoming Surface Pro 2, although it does carry with it a higher price tag. At the end of the day, the Samsung's ATIV Smart PC Pro Tablet 700T is a solid overall machine, it just doesn't excel in any one category.

text: So where does everyone go for their stock photography? I quite often use iStock just as it's easier for me with the credits as you go setup, really like some of the vector illustrations you can pick up there too. Occasionally visit SXC if the client has no budget for stock photos, any other stock photos anyone can recommend free or paid? Does anyone use the regular subscription services that allow 'x' downloads per day? Cheers, Greg

Just as rosebushes yield new blooms throughout May, a fresh crop of rosé wines trickled into stores every week this month. Midmonth, the wine panel sampled 24 dry rosés — mostly new arrivals, plus a few 2011 bottles that are still drinking well.
Although sweet rosés have their fans, good dry rosés tend to be more complex and food-friendly. The most famous dry rosés are from southern France, but many other regions and countries are producing very enjoyable rosés, too.
Our tasting encompassed a wide range suited for different occasions and food pairings: from the bone-dry Provençal style for sipping solo or with elegant dishes, to a casual, fruity Washington state rosé that's ideal for outdoor barbecues. We even tried a few sparklers.
With the exception of many sparkling rosés, most rosé wines are made from red grapes and get their pink color from brief contact with the skins. In the saignée production method, a portion of the red wine juice is removed, or bled, from the skins, then fermented to yield pink wine; the remaining juice is usually made into a more concentrated red wine. In some of southern France's rosé-making regions, the entire crop of grapes is dedicated to the production of pink wine; the finest examples are often made by gently pressing on the red grapes to extract color.
Many sparkling rosés owe their pink color to a combination of red and white grapes, often fermented separately and then blended to get uniform color.
Like rose blooms, which come in many colors and shades, our 14 dry rosé picks reflect a variety of styles. Although many of them are refreshing and well-suited for warm weather, don't relegate them to one season; these food-friendly wines can be enjoyed any time of year. Supplies of some smaller production rosés may be limited. If you fall in love with one, buy extra bottles for Thanksgiving or a fall dinner party.
Tina Danze is a Dallas freelance writer.
The mission: Find a variety of dry rosés, in a range of styles and prices.
The food: Although this was not a food and wine pairing assignment, we snacked on salumi, which is generally a good accompaniment to rosé. Our salumi platter consisted of thinly sliced salamis, prosciutto and porchetta — a savory boneless roast pork, sold at the deli counter of Jimmy's Food Store.
The tasters:
Michael Flynn, wine and beverage director for the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek
Jennifer Uygur, co-owner and wine director, Lucia Restaurant
Cathy Barber, Taste editor

The picks:
2012 Crios Rosé of Malbec, Argentina
$11.64; Central Market, North Oak Cliff Beer & Wine, Las Colinas Beverages, Pogo's, select Tom Thumb supermarkets, Spec's, Total Wine and Whole Foods Market
Susana Balbo's wines are consistently acclaimed for quality and value. This rosé lives up to the high standards set by prior vintages. It's been a repeat selection of our panel over the years, pairing well with a wide variety of foods. "It has some sweetness, but it's balanced by good acidity," Flynn said. He noted "wild strawberries and a little vanilla bean" on the palate, and a "wonderful mouth-coating texture."
Uygur said the "slight sweetness and fruitiness" made it a good partner for spicy food, including salumi. Try it with grilled sausages, barbecue and Asian pork dumplings.
Graham Beck Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine, NV, South Africa
$17.99; Corner Wines, Central Market, Spec's, Pogo's, Green Grocer, Scardello Artisan Cheese, Wine Cellar at Starwood and Whole Foods Market
This pretty pink blend of pinot noir and chardonnay is perfect for toasting special occasions, but affordable enough for before-dinner sipping anytime. President Barack Obama toasted his 2008 election with this sparkler. "It's zippy, clean and bright," Uygur said. "It's quite dry with a creamy texture, fine mousse and lots of red fruits," Flynn added. "It's got a nice, minerally, finely textured finish."
2012 Château de Campuget Costières de Nîmes Tradition de Campuget Rosé, France
$11.99; Pogo's and Central Market in Plano
This grenache-syrah blend from France's Rhone region is dry and refreshing, with a good balance of fruit, savory and mineral notes. "It's true to type for a rosé from southwestern France," Flynn said. "I like it for its savory character and peppery finish." Uygur thought the wine would pair especially well with a dish seasoned with fresh herbs, such as thyme, oregano or rosemary. Panelists agreed that this rosé could even handle olives. Try it with salade niçoise, grilled chicken and fish.
2012 Caves d' Esclans 'Whispering Angel' Rosé, Côtes de Provence, France
$16.99-$21.99; Central Market on Lovers Lane and in Plano, Costco, Domaine Wine Co., Eatzi's, select Goody Goody stores, select PK's stores, Pogo's, Sigel's, Spec's on Central Expressway and Total Wine
This elegant, dry, Provençal rosé is a terrific value. "It's very complex," Flynn said. "It's floral, balanced and delicate, with good acidity and a long finish. If you close your eyes, it doesn't scream red fruit." Uygur agreed, explaining: "With the barest trace of red fruit, it's the closest to a white" of all the wines sampled. "It's refreshing," she added. Pair this ethereal wine with elegant foods, such as scallops and white fish in a delicate sauce, or fresh peas in a salad or a risotto.
2012 Château de Berne Impatience, Côtes de Provence, France
$18.99-$19.99; Central Market on Lovers Lane and in Plano, Domaine Wine Co., Goody Goody on Oak Lawn, PK's (Lomo Alto and Hillcrest locations), Pogo's and Sigel's
This lovely, dry rosé from Provence is made from grenache and cinsault grapes. Its beautiful, square-based bottle makes it especially gift-worthy. "It has more berry aroma than the previous" Provençal rosé, Uygur said. Flynn noted a touch of banana and vanilla bean on the palate. "It's rich, really textured and grips the palate," he said. "It has the suggestion of tannins, too." For a dinner party or gift, splurge on the magnum (sold at Pogo's for $39.99).
2012 Charles & Charles Rosé, Washington
$10.99-$11.99; Central Market (Lovers Lane, Preston-Royal and Plano locations), Market Street (Plano and Allen locations), Pogo's, Sigel's, Tom Thumb supermarket (multiple locations), Whole Foods Market (Park Lane and Preston-Forest locations), Angel's Beverage Center in Plano
Made mostly of syrah, with a touch of mourvedre and a smidgen of cinsault and grenache, this rosé blend is a fun wine for casual occasions. "It's built to be a Texas tailgate, picnic or barbecue wine," Uygur said, citing its juicy-fruity quality and easy-opening, screw-top cap. "It's more candied than I remember, but that also makes it hold up to sweet and spicy barbecue," she said. "I like it," Flynn said. "It has a lot of character." He thought it would be a great wine for a pig roast, as well as spicy food — but not delicate or subtle foods.
2011 Jean-Luc Colombo Cape Bleue Rosé, France
$14.79; Brian's Wine, Pogo's, Spec's on Central Expressway, Whole Foods Market (Park Lane, Abrams and Preston-Forest locations), Central Market in Plano
This blend of syrah, mourvedre and counoise is a budget Provençal wine from the Coteaux d'Aix en Provence appellation. It shows red berry and cherry fruit, with savory and herbal notes. Flynn found it fruit-forward, but with a very dry finish. "I like the persistence of vibrant red fruit on the palate," he said. "The sneaky acidity redeems the wine. I tasted the acidity long after the sip." Considering the price and quality, Uygur called this a good Provençal rosé for a big party. "It's an affordable alternative," to the other Provençal rosés, she said.
2011 Ambo Rosa, Italy
$12.95; Central Market
If you're looking for a rosé that evokes fall more than spring, try this unusual rosé from Lombardy. Flynn liked the wine's "distinct herbal character," and noted a bay leaf aroma in the nose. "It's more of a food wine" than one for sipping, he said. Uygur confessed that she has yet to try an Italian rosé that she likes. "I find them a little funkier and herbal," she said.
Tasters found this wine a nice match for the thinly sliced porchetta on our salumi platter. Flynn envisioned many more food pairings for this wine: roasted pork with herbs and mustard; tarragon chicken; pan-seared trout with herb butter; aged Gouda cheese; a young, washed-rind cheese with a grainy texture, such as Reblochon; and slow-cooked pork dishes.
Casal Garcia Vinho Verde Rosé, NV, Portugal
$5.99-$7.99; Central Market (Lovers Lane, Preston-Royal and Plano locations), Good Spirits on Northwest Highway, Pogo's, Spec's, Whole Foods Market (Park Lane and Plano locations)
This fun, spritzy rosé has nice fruit and acidity and is remarkably low in alcohol — as well as price. This year's blend of classic grapes native to the Vinho Verde region seemed drier than previous bottlings. "It's a refreshing, easy drink for hot weather and a nice example of Vinho Verde," Flynn said. Uygur noted that the low alcohol content made it an ideal patio or pool wine for summer. "You could drink it all afternoon or use it to make a low-alcohol cocktail or punch."
2011 Bodegas Muga Rioja Rosé, Spain
$10.99; Las Colinas Beverages, Pogo's and Spec's
Made mostly from garnacha, with a little viura (a white grape variety) and tempranillo, this is a claret style, which is made differently from most still rosé wines. It gets its pale pink color from fermenting red and white grapes together, whereas most rosés get their pink color from a brief contact with red grape skins. The wine is also aged for several months in oak, which is rare for rosé.
"It feels very Old World and very refined to me," Flynn said. "The sweetness of the oak pushes the cherry fruit flavor forward, and in the background there's some minerality." Uygur called the wine "a totally different beast, compared with the razory-clean Provencal" rosés. "It has a silkier texture than anything so far, and it's more mouth coating — it's more viscous in a good way," she said. "A chardonnay drinker would like this rosé, because of the familiar texture and weight."
This wine went well with the salumi; it would also be great with a paella.
Lucien Albrecht Crémant d'Alsace Rosé, NV, France
$21.99-$28.99; Central Market, Goody Goody, Pogo's, Sigel's, Whole Foods Market in Highland Park and Spec's
Made from 100 percent pinot noir grapes, this is an elegant, creamy sparkling rosé for the money. Although less effervescent than the other sparkler we chose, it showed more red fruit character and paired well with our salumi. "It's because it has a little more weight to it than most sparkling rosés," Uygur explained. Flynn added that the wine's "fruity, peppery pinot character" made it a good partner for the peppery salami. Uygur liked the wine better with the food than alone.
2012 Borsao Rosé, Spain
$7.99; Pogo's, Spec's in Dallas, Central Market in Plano and Total Wine and More
This simple, affordable garnacha rosé has a pale, onion-skin color, and a light to medium body. It could stand up to a variety of foods. "I like it. It's nice and dry, though not very complex — but I like the wine's meaty, rare steak quality," Flynn said. In fact, Flynn said he would even drink it with a rare steak. "True to grenache character, it's a little peppery on the finish." Try it with Southwest cuisine, flatbread with woody mushrooms or dishes with mild green chiles.
2012 Las Rocas de San Alejandro Rosé, Spain
$11.99-$16.99; Domaine Wine Co., Sigel's, Pogo's, Central Market in Plano and Vin Classic Wines in Plano
This inexpensive garnacha rosé from the Calatayud subregion in northern Spain was the surprise favorite. It's a deep pink, medium-bodied wine, with enough flavor to stand up to a wide variety of foods. "This is what a good rosé is all about. It's easy to drink, has a dry finish, has good varietal character and it's very food-friendly. I routinely buy this for drinking at home," Michael Flynn said. He noted that the wine's "nice peppery notes" made it a good match for the mild salami. Jennifer Uygur hailed the wine as "deceptively complex, juicy and refreshing." Both she and Flynn found the fruit more vibrant than that of the other Spanish rosés sampled.
Try it with: tacos al pastor or carnitas, garnished with cilantro and onion; with pasta with pesto; or grilled meat with chimichurri sauce.
2011 Pradeaux, Bandol Rosé, France
$31.99-$34.99; Pogo's, Spec's (Dallas locations), Sigel's, Molto Formaggio, Veritas
Like many rosés from the Bandol appellation, this one is drinking really well the second year out. "It's a meatier rosé," Flynn said, citing its earthy mourvedre grape character. "It's a rosé for the red wine drinker." Uygur noted the wine's savory notes and minerality. She considered it a good food wine — one that could even stand up to red meat. "It has more weight — it's chunkier," she said. Try it with an herbed chicken dish or roast leg of lamb with herbes de Provence.

Monday night, I watched the movie Lust, Caution. I've been wanting to talk with somebody about it, but since I don't know anyone else whose seen it, I figured I'd do the next best thing and blog about it.
Lust, Caution (色,戒) is the latest film by Ang Lee, the director who brought us Brokeback Mountain (which I still haven't seen -- I know, I know!); Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; and less recently The Wedding Banquet and Eat, Drink, Man, Woman which are two of my favorite movies. Ooh, and let's not forget about The Ice Storm that was good too.
Lust, Caution actually won the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival, but the reviews by American critics have been surprisingly mixed. I think some of them couldn't get past the 158-minute running time and claimed that the movie was too slow (which -- I love Wong Kar Wai -- but this movie was a rollercoaster ride compared to one of his flicks). Some dismissed the movie as "cold" which I don't understand at all, and some couldn't get over the graphic sex scenes which earned the film an oh-so-box-office-friendly NC-17 Rating.
Speaking of sex scenes, it seems like everyone feels obligated to defend them as necessary to the story as opposed to gratuitous. For the most part, I don't understand this. If we're all adults, why the need to be coy? I guess self-conscious sexual content for the sole purpose of titillating viewers can really cheapen a film, but anyone who watches this film will agree that this is certainly not the case here.
This tale of espionage and adultery stars Tony Leung (a.k.a. Wong Kar Wai's favorite leading man, cf. Happy Together, In the Mood For Love, 2046) and film newcomer Tang Wei. Also, Joan Chen (who I know as Josie Packard from Twin Peaks) plays Leung's wife. Despite its long running time, the film's suspense and lavish visuals really held my attention. The period costumes were gorgeous, and Ang Lee actually recreated a whole street out of 1940s Shanghai. Another thing that stands out is the palpable chemistry between the two leading characters.
Throughout the film, a lot of emotional content is conveyed through nonverbal communication such as stolen glances. Once I read a book about director Krzysztof Kieslowski which praised the way he was able to communicate characters' emotions through shots lingering on actors' faces or eyes. It noted how many other directors (even those as great as Woody Allen) resort to having character's straight up tell the audience how they're feeling in voiceover or soliloquy. Ang Lee doesn't cop out like that in Lust, Caution.
The action starts in 1938 Hong Kong where our heroine is a wartime refugee (unlike Shanghai, HK didn't fall to the Japanese until 1941). At university there, a handsome student convinces her to join his theatre troupe which is putting on a patriotic melodrama in order to raise money for the war effort. Everyone is impressed by her performance. Then, when the student finds out that a childhood friend is working for Yee (Tony Leung), an important collaborator with the Japanese, he cooks up an elaborate plot to assassinate the traitor. The girl and another student actor pose as a wealthy young couple (with two others playing their servants), and he arranges for them to meet Mr. and Mrs. Yee. Mrs. Yee takes a shining to our heroine, whom she knows as Mrs. Mak, inviting her to join her mahjong games and shopping excursion (according to Mrs. Yee, these are the only diversions available to married women during the war).
As a part of Mrs. Yee's circle of friends, Mrs. Mak rarely sees the shadowy Mr. Yee, until one day they bump into each other outside of his home during an afternoon shower. Their mutual attraction is clear from the start, and, after the two secretly spend a day in town together, the conspirators decide that Mrs. Mak should become Yee's mistress so as to better lure him into their trap. Unfortunately, before they can put their plan into action, the Yees are abruptly called back to Shanghai.
When we rejoin her four years later, our heroine is living in poverty in Shanghai. She is approached by the handsome student, now a member of the resistance, who asks her to resume the role of Mrs. Mak in order to get access to Yee. Yee has since been made the head of intelligence for the collaborationist government the Japanese established in Nanjing (i.e. the Wang Jingwei government) which basically means he interrogates and tortures agents of the resistance.
This time around, when Yee and Mrs. Mak meet again, their relationship quickly becomes physical. The sex scenes are quite graphic (some people are convinced the actors are actually having intercourse -- and I... kind of agree with them). Their first encounter, which I would describe as a near rape, especially sticks with me. You learn a lot about the two characters from these scenes as these are the only moments where they can let themselves go. There's also more than a little desperation in the way they make love: as if they both know that they're doomed (she's a spy and he's a traitor to his people, collaborating with the hated Japanese). But there's also a lot of ambiguity: as you watch them having sex you can't help but wonder what they're thinking. Does he suspect that she's a spy? Is she falling in love with him or is she picturing the moment when her co-conspirators will kill him? And how much does Mrs. Yee know? -- surely more than she lets on. The movie respects the audience enough that it allows you to draw your own conclusions. It invites you to think about the things that aren't said and this is probably why it lingers with you long after you leave the movie house.
As I said, Ang Lee did an amazing job of recreating the historical era. One of the details that impressed me was how cosmopolitan Shanghai was at this time. You see a lot of Westerners on the streets. This inspired me to do a little research, and it turns out that there was a large community of Russian émigrés living in Shanghai between 1917 and 1949. These people had fled their homeland after the Bolshevik revolution in October 1917 travelling through Russia's far eastern provinces to arrive in China. There was also a Shanghai ghetto: first came the Russian Jews, then the so-called Baghdadi Jews who migrated from the Middle East via British India. These groups were then joined by Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany who came to Japanese-occupied Shanghai because it was one of the few places in the world which did not require immigrants to produce a passport. At some point in the forties the Germans asked their allies to hand over these Jews for extermination. The wikipedia article on the Shanghai ghetto includes a great quote about the meeting between the Japanese military governor and leaders of the Jewish community in which the governor asked them why the Germans hated them so much:
Without hesitation and knowing the fate of his community hung on his answer,Lust, Caution stills (c) Focus Features, quotation taken from The Rabbi of 84th Street: The Extraordinary Life of Haskel Besser by Warren Kozak (HarperCollins, 2004)
Reb Kalish told the translator (in Yiddish): "Zugim weil mir senen orientalim — Tell him the Germans hate us because we are Oriental." The governor, whose face had been stern throughout the confrontation, broke into a slight smile. In spite of the military alliance, he did not accede to the German demand and the Shanghai Jews were never handed over.

Overview

Paul Laurence Dunbar is considered the most influential African-American writer before the Harlem Renaissance. Through the use of lyrical poems that sometimes utilized vernacular, Dunbar wrote on a variety of themes including romance, the plight of African-Americans, humor and even racial upliftment.

Author and literary critic William Dean Howells argued that Dunbar was the first African-American poet to "feel the Negro life aesthetically and express it lyrically" while Mary Church Terrell firmly pronounced that Dunbar was the "poet laureate of the Negro race."

Key Details

Born: June 27, 1872 in Dayton, Ohio

Death: February 9, 1906 in Dayton, Ohio

Parents: Joshua Dunbar, served in the 55th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. His mother, Mathilda Dunbar, was a former slave

Spouse: Alice Dunbar Nelson, poet and writer.

Early Life and Education

As the son of former slaves, Dunbar was taught at an early age about the oral tradition of storytelling, which would influence his writing in years to come.

Attending public school in Dayton, Dunbar realized his interest in writing poetry and was inspired by the works of Romantic poets such as John Keats, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Burns.

Dunbar also read American poets such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and James Whitcomb Riley.

Yet, it was poet Irwin Russell who inspired Dunbar to infuse the stories of his parents' oral tradition with lyricism, creating an authentic poetic tone.

While still a high school student, Dunbar published two poems, "Our Martyred Soldiers" and "On the River" in The Herald, a Dayton newspaper.

Determined to become a writer, Dunbar became a journalist for Dayton's African-American newspaper, The Tattler. Although the newspaper was only in publication for six weeks, the experience of writing inspired Dunbar to continue writing.

Graduating from high school in 1891, Dunbar worked as an elevator operator and continued to write in his spare time. While working, poet James Newton Mathews encouraged Dunbar to read his poetry at the Western Association of Writers in 1892.

Professional Career

In 1893, Dunbar published his first collection of poetry, Oak and Ivy. For the next 16 years, Dunbar published many collections of poetry, fiction and essays. His greatest works include:

 Majors and Minors (1895)

 Lyrics of Lowly Life (1896)

 Lyrics of the Hearthside (1899)

 Poems of Cabin and Field (1899)

 Candle-Lightin' Time (1901)

 Lyrics of Love and Laughter (1903)

 When Malindy Sings (1903)

 Li'l Ga (1904) Howdy, Honey, Howdy (1905)

 Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow (1905).

Dunbar's poetry was also published in literary journals such as Century, Lipincott's Monthly, Atlantic Monthly and the Saturday Evening Post.

Dunbar wrote the lyrics for the first Broadway musical to be written and performed by an African-American cast, In Dahomey in 1903.

In addition to writing poetry, Dunbar was also a founding member of the American Negro Academy, an elite organization of African-American intellectual men who were dedicated to documenting their achievements.

Praise from African-Americans and Whites

Dunbar received the praise of both white and African-American leaders throughout his career.

In 1893, while promoting his first collection of poetry, Oak and Ivy, Dunbar met Frederick Douglass. Admiring Dunbar's work, Douglass hired him to manage the Haitian exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Following Douglass' death in February of 1895, Dunbar wrote the poem, "Frederick Douglass" in honor of the former abolitionist and African-American leader.

James Weldon Johnson argued that Dunbar was "the first American Negro poet of real literary distinction."

Howells, a fan of Dunbar's second collection of poetry, Majors and Minors, stated that Dunbar's writing was filled with "honest thinking and true feeling." Howell felt so strongly about Dunbar's poems written in dialect that he wrote the introduction for Lyrics of a Lowly Life in 1896.

Death

Despite Dunbar's prowess as a poet, he suffered from poor health, depression and alcoholism. Dunbar died in 1906 of tuberculosis.

A judging panel including Franca Sozzani, Angela Missoni, Godfrey Deeny, Tim Blanks, and Susanne Botschen selected the winner.
"The group of the nominees was of a very high level, and we struggled to take the decision," said Angela Missoni, who announced the name of the winner to the media and guests. "At the end, we decided for SIBLING because they demonstrated to be the more complete and mature label, and their creative research, joint with their knowledge of wool and knitwear, was the key factor."
"The level of talent this year was remarkable. The jury was faced with a real challenge. But SIBLINGwon because they created the perfect storm: stunning technique, a crazy level of creativity and a keen appreciation of wool's endless potential," declared Tim Blanks after the announcement.
The three designers of SIBLING, Joe Bates, Sid Bryan and Cozette McCreery expressed their reaction saying they were surprised and honoured to receive the award from a jury of such a calibre.
"Apart from the cash price, it's the prestige of being associated to Woolmark what makes us happy, and the fact that, with the final event being held during Milan Fashion Week on February 2014, we will have the opportunity to approach the Italian market and reach a global exposure," said the designers. "Winning the Woolmark European award is a recognition of our passion for Merino wool."
SIBLING was awarded for the stunning wool outfit, composed by knitted bodysuit and jacket, masterpieces of creativity and technique, perfectly expressing the DNA of the label: fun, young and optimistic.
Chosen amongst the 10 most promising talents coming from all over Europe, the winner gains a financial contribution of $50,000 AUD, plus the opportunity to compete in the International competition, representing Europe during the grand final event, taking place in Milano in February 2014.
For the next six months the designers will be required to develop a capsule collection in Merino wool, to be showcased during an extraordinary event which will showcase the five finalists which will be selected from across the globe.
These designers will compete for the final international prize – of $100,000 AUD and the opportunity to be stocked in the most important retailers of the world including Harvey Nichols – London, Saks Fifth Avenue - NY, 10 Corso Como – Milan, Joyce – China, David Jones – Sydney and My Theresa – Germany and online.
Rob Langtry, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer of The Woolmark Company, explained, "The International Woolmark Prize is our commitment to educating the next generation of fashion industry leaders about the extraordinary potential of wool. We hope the inherent properties of wool will stimulate the designers' creative thinking, so they encompass both intrinsic and extrinsic innovations to their collections.
"We wish all the designers participating in the Prize this year the best and we look forward to establishing an ongoing partnership with each of them who are the industry leaders of the future."
The event featured make-up by MAC.

About The Woolmark Company:
The Woolmark is the world's best-known textile fibre brand, established in 1964.
The Woolmark brand is owned by Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), a not-for-profit company owned by over 27,000 woolgrowers. AWI's vision is to be a significant contributor to a vibrant, stable and profitable wool industry providing the world with the best natural fibre. The company works throughout the global supply chain – from woolgrowers through to retailers.
The company mission is to enhance the profitability, international competitiveness and sustainability of the Australian wool industry; and increase demand and market access for Australian wool.
Merino wool provides stability, resilience, softness and luxury to the tailoring industry. The fibre has long been a favourite of designers, but younger consumers, born in an era of 'disposable' fashion know too little about the natural benefits.
Wool is a 100 per cent natural and renewable fibre. Sheep live on grass, water, fresh air and sunshine. Wool is a fibre that is grown – not man-made. Every year sheep produce a new fleece, making wool a renewable fibre source.
About the International Woolmark Prize:
The International Woolmark Prize crosses borders and cultures by seeking outstanding and emerging talent from around the world, aligning the support of emerging designers with the evolution of emerging countries.
It is an award for the next generation, shifting the focus from glamour to true talent as a way to highlight wool's eco-credentials. It is The Woolmark Company's social commitment, a sharing of resources to support local artisans.
In keeping with a long tradition of supporting individual excellence in design, the International Woolmark Prize aims to highlight the beauty of the Merino wool fibre at the hands of the world's finest designers.
The award is supported internationally by key fashion councils including the Council of Fashion Designers America, British Fashion Council, Chambre Syndicale De La Couture, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid and Premsela Foundation.
The regional judging panels have included esteemed industry representatives such as Alexandra Shulman - Editor-in-Chief Vogue UK; Tim Blanks - Editor at Large Style.com; Alber Elbaz - Artistic Director Lanvin; Angelica Cheung - Vogue China editor-in-chief; and designers included Narciso Rodriguez, Richard Nicholl and Giles Deacon.
About SIBLING
A collaboration between Joe Bates, Sid Bryan and Cozette McCreery, SIBLING is all for one and one for all. The three designers bring with them a strong heritage of experience with top-name designers.
SIBLING launched in 2008 born out of a desire to give knitwear for men a good old-fashioned shake-up with cartoon ka-pows of colour and bams of very English humour. Their mission statement: let's put the fun into classics.

"And when memory failed and written records were falsified—when that happened, the claim of the Party to have improved the conditions of human life had got to be accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could exist, any standard against which it could be tested."
--from "Nineteen Eighty-Four" By George Orwell
--from "Nineteen Eighty-Four" By George Orwell
Nineteen Eighty-Four revealed George Orwell as one of the twentieth century's greatest mythmakers. While the totalitarian system that provoked him into writing it has since passed into oblivion, his harrowing cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has had the opposite fate: its relevance and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade. In Winston Smith's desperate struggle to free himself from an all-encompassing, malevolent state, Orwell zeroed in on tendencies apparent in every modern society, and made vivid the universal predicament of the individual.

Peppermint Dream Butter Cookies
You know what butter mints are, right? Those little pastel-colored things that you mindlessly nibble from a bowl while you're trying to avoid playing the awful games at a baby shower? Yeah, those. Older folks seem to always have them lying around too, which makes you wonder if they ever really become stale and inedible. I've always been fascinated with the way that they gently crumble apart and melt in your mouth. I'm also kinda obsessed with Peppermint Patties, Junior Mints, Andes Mints and Guittard Mint Chips. Sweet mint stuff is just irresistible to me. These cookies are full of sweet mint stuff, and I'm obsessed with these too: Peppermint Dream Butter Cookies
These are such a simple cookie- just 6 ingredients. And you can choose what sort of minty thing you'd like to mix in.
I had some of these Guittard Holiday Mint Chips lying around, so I used those. Also good would be the Andes Peppermint Crunch- baking chips or chopped up thins. Just don't use those butter mints I mentioned 😉
The chips are mixed into the dough, but it's always a good idea to stud some extras on top before baking for cosmetic purposes, right?
A sprinkle of
snow powdered sugar after baking and while they're still warm, and they're good to go.
They're a festive one for the holiday cookie tray, sprinkled with a few festive peppermint wheels.
And I made them just for you! 🙂
Now go enjoy the weekend, deck the halls and get some of your holiday shopping done! And pick up some of those 'ol butter mints for old time sake.
Oh, and if you need help with holiday shopping, check out my post sharing 10 unique holiday gift ideas!
Yield: 3 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Peppermint Dream Butter Cookies
For the recipe pictured, I used Guittard Mint Chips, but you can also use Andes Peppermint Crunch thins (chopped)- or something similar- or any kind of white mint chip.
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese
1 cup granulated white sugar
2 1/2 cups Gold Medal® All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 1/4 cups chopped Andes Peppermint Crunch Thins or mint chips, divided
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats (or spray with nonstick spray).
2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and cream cheese. Mix in the sugar, then mix in flour and extract. Stir 1 cup of the mint chunks.
3. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets- 2-inches apart. Top each round of dough with a few additional pieces of mint. Bake 20 minutes, or until golden and set. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

They look great and sound yummy, too! Happy baking!
OMG I love your picture! You look gorgeous Lori! I haven't seen those holiday chips, how fun. With sprinkles in them? NEED. And finally, those cookies sound amazing!!
These are gorgeous Lori (as indeed are you!)
On a total peppermint kick at my house and I just happen to have a bag of those chips in my cupboard! Can't wait to try it. Thanks!
I'm so excited to see this recipe! My mom bought me a bag of those Andes mint chips and I was wondering what to make with them. This is perfect!
Lori I think your hair grew like a half foot since the last pic I saw of you! Looks beautiful! 🙂
And I am in love with anything peppermint this time of year!
Mmm, these look cute and delicious! Peppermint is a staple during the Christmas season.
Oh my goodness, Lori.. these are screaming my name! Okay, so I must totally be an 80 year old woman at heart because I love those butter mints 🙂 they're so soft and dreamy and I love their melt-in-your-mouth texture. Putting them into a cookie is pure genius! These look so plush and scrumptious, and I am loving the powdered sugar dusting on top–so heavenly!
Thanks for featuring my recipe!! Happy Holidays!
Ohhhh buttermint! The way to my heart 🙂
OMG — these look so amazing! I can't wait to dive into my baking this year…these are certainly on my list now!
wow those cookies really are a dream! YUM!
I"m such a sucker for all things minty at this time of year! I see myself being addicted to these babies.
Ohh, I love a good easy cookie recipe Lori! These look quite festive!
Ohhhh, These look so good! What a great cookie, they look so Christmasy! Perfect for holiday entertaining!
Can't wait to try these goodies……but wonder what can we do with those butter mints? Guess its time to experiment….LOL..
These look fantastic Lori. Looking foward to trying these. They will be an excellent addition to the cookie tray. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas
I LOVE those mints! Is it a sign of my age..? LOL… This recipe sounds fab- and you look AHmazzzzzing my dear friend!
Those mint chips are so great!!
Ohh…you had me with the picture!!
peppermint and white chocolate I just cannot get enough of lately
for the longest time i was on a pumpkin kick–now it's all peppermint
cute photo Lori!
I have these in the oven right now!! I can tell you the dough tasted good!! lol I didn't have chopped andes or thin mints so I used Trader Joe's white chocolate peppermint bark. I can't wait for them to come out of the oven!!
These looked so good but came out flat as they had spread and looked nothing like your picture. I am an experienced baker and love your recipes but this one seemed to have way too much butter. Help
Love this recipe! Will be linking back to this in my upcoming post 🙂
Must try this recipe! However, I have looked high and low, but I haven't found those cute holiday chips you used! Where did you buy them? Thanks.
Is it ok for me to make these ever after the holidays j/k hahaha. I love all things mint! mmm I bet these are fantastic!
I made these according to the directions. And while they were stilwarm they were amazing! However, once they fully cooled, they were really hard. I have had this happen with another butter cookie recipe too, any idea what's going on?
Baked them with some changes–turned out fabulous!
I had some pastel mint chips left over from Christmas that I needed to use up. Halfway through the recipes I read the reviews. All great picture reviews until I got to the "tried it" reviews…which weren't so great. Begin Panic! Needed these for an event the next day. Well…I ended up modifying….here's how…
Decided to make these as an Easter treat, (1) time of year, and (2) didn't have any pepper mint extract. I used vanilla extract rather than pepper mint. Also…only had 0.5 ounce of full fat cream cheese, the rest of the 2.5 oz was 1/4 fat. Then finally, got worried about the "flat and hard when cool" review, so I decided to use 1/3 cup egg whites (white to keep the white color and 1/3c = 2 large eggs). Never had a recipe like this without eggs, so felt I should add them. As I mentioned…turned out delicious!!!
Bottom line…turned out great woth my changes…never tried the original recipe. But thanks for the base! And I definitely added 3 "decretive" chips on the top right before baking. Wish I could post a picture!!

text: I'll make this as short as I can. We're both nearly 21 years old and have been friends since 15. I was always crazy for her, but her not so much into me. At some point around age 16 (shit, the posts are still up here on OT, some of my first ones), we hook up for a weekend, I lose my virginity, etc etc. In the following few days she crushed me saying that she didn't want to a relationship out of it. I learned to get over it, and our friendship faded in and out over the next few years. Sometimes we were very close, sometimes we were distant, but in all, we would always be there for one another whenever things were going wrong. We know each other better than anyone else and want the best for both of us. We are truly great friends. While in my last relationship, her and I saw each other maybe twice over the span of a year. Not much, but enough to maintain a friendship. When my last ex and I split, I hung out with her a few times immediately afterward, and that was about it. Over the next nine months, we did not see each other at all. I decided to randomly txt her one evening about two months ago, and we have since seen each other several times a week. During this time period, she's begun to develop feelings for me, outside of what we're used to. My feelings are still there, of course... Over the last weekend we made out a lot, partied with a bunch of mutual friends, went places as a "couple," enjoyed teasing each other about the whole thing... just having fun together. This girl is my softspot, she is perfect for me. Tonight we hang out, watch a movie, have some foreplay... and I turn her down on sex. I am an extremely sexual person by nature. I want to fuck everything with legs. I'm always making sexually suggestive comments and have a ridiculous libido. At this point in time, its been 13 months since the last time I've had sex. And coming from consecutive relationships where I had sex often several times a day, every single day... I NEED sex. Yet, I turned her down. The girl I've been crazy about for years, that I haven't had sex with since I was 16. We still had a good night, but I made some awkward comments here and there just due to my anxiety. I simply do not know what to do. She wants me. Bad. She's crazy for me right now. Honestly it scares the shit out of me. I want to be with her, I love this girl and we both know it. But at the same time I don't want to lose my friendship. I've only had two other friends for the same duration as her, and knowing that we're 20, in a relationship... realistically, it is not going to last. And knowing that I'm expediting the end of one of my best friendships absolutely crushes me. I simply do not know what to do. Have any of you been through something like this before? Is there any sound advice out there? I am breaking down right now and none of my other friends want to hear anything about it because of all of the bullshit women drama I've put them through in the past.
