I am using Telerik for WPF. Currently I would like to create an application that uses RadRichTextBox to create variety of documents that adheres to certain formats. I have used Telerik to create data entry forms to facilitate this document creation. However this approach proves to be cumbersome due to the size and number of fields in each document. Currently I am trying to use document template which I already have in MS Word format. I am trying to address the following
1. Each of this template I save into open xml format yet somehow I could not load it onto the RadRichTextBox.
2. I also intend to have shadow text in the template that will serve as hint/guide for user on what to write under each paragraph. But from richtextbox documentation I could not find a pointer/hint on how to do it.
3. I also want to protect certain parts of the template so that user will not accidentally erase or modify it. I see that Telerik demo has one example on this but I could not see from the code on how the protection is implemented programatically.
Any input/help is highly appreciated.

Bench: w/u with 5x70kg, 3x110kg; 5 x 3 x 120kg
Still going pretty well, nothing very heavy on low bar squats because my shoulder keeps bleeding and I need it to heal and I'm busy at the moment anyway. Bench is improving, starting to feel comfortable again.
Exams going quite well, but another two weeks yet. Squats seem to have burnt me out mentally (not physically at all, to be honest), so I'm taking this time off daily max. squatting and I'll try to build some muscle and overall strength. When I return to high frequency squats, I should be ready for some big PRs.
Bench: (very wide grip) to 3 x 130kg, 2 x 2 x 140kg, (competition grip) 5 x 3 x 120kg
Squat: to 230kg
Plus something else, not recorded and I can't remember.
Sumo Deadlift: to 220kg, then from 2" blocks 2 x 220kg, 5 x 1 x 220kg, then from floor 3 x 2 x 200kg
Zombie Front Squat: to 5 x 2 x 100kg
Deadlift: 5 x 3 x 160kg
Seated DB OHP: 22.5kg DBs for 10, 8, 8, 6
Curls to finish.
Bench: to 3 x 130kg, 3 x 2 x 140kg, then slight incline to 7 x 3 x 110kg
Squat: to 5 x 2 x 190kg
Leg Press: 10 x 210kg, 10 x 260kg, 10 x 300kg
Squat: to 4 x 2 x 200kg, 2 x 210kg
OH Press: 6, 6, 5, 4, x 60kg (thick bar)
Zombie Front Squat: 9 x 3 x 100kg
Deadlift: (beltless) 7 x 3 x 160kg
Pullups on Metal Beam: 2 x 8 (paused)
Bench: (very wide grip) to 3 x 120kg, 2 x 140kg, M x 150kg, 6 x 1 x 140kg; (competition grip) 2 x 8 x 120kg
Squat: w/u with 3x120kg, 2x170kg; 3 x 2 x 210kg, 4 x 220kg (=PR)
BtN Push Press: 5 x 70kg, 2 x 5 x 90kg, 8, 6, (close grip) x 70kg
Felt better today, a very nice set of 4 with 220kg and I might've had more. Here we go...
Squat: w/u with 3x120kg, 2x170kg; 2 x 210kg, 2 x 220kg, 2 x 225kg, 2 x 220kg
Leg Press: up to 12, 10, 9, 10, x 360kg
I'm doing some more leg pressing to improve my quad strength, which should help my deadlift. Exams until the end of the week, after that I'll have more time.
Right, I've finally finished exams and I'm ready to push it again! I've decided on Christian Thibaudeau's "Bulgarian Training Simplified"; it is the on opposite end of the Bulgarian-inspired training spectrum, quite different from what I've done in the past, but I absolutely love the layout and the weekly 1, 2, or 3 rep max on the real lift in addition to the variations the rest of the time.
I have trained in the past week, but I won't bother trying to remember all of that now, as it was nothing special. Instead I'll pick up with the rep maxes from my first BTS session, from yesterday:
Zercher Squat: up to 3 x 140kg, 3 x 150kg, 3 x 140kg
SGDL from Deficit (start with bar on top of feet): to 3 x 160kg, 2 x 170kg (missed third here)
Bench from Pins (couple of inches off chest): to 3 x 140kg, 2 x 142.5kg (missed third)
Cable Row: full stack for 3 x 10
Nice start to the program, and I was surprisingly strong on Zercher squats (I didn't expect to ZS more than I've front squatted!).
Zercher Squat: 4 x 3 x 120kg
SGDL from Deficit: to 4 x 3 x 130kg
Bench from Pins: to 4 x 3 x 120kg
WG Paused Pullup: 8, 3, 3, 3
All Zercher squats and SGDLs are beltless. Feeling strong, and I really like the Zerchers. Arms / elbows bruised a bit, but nothing too bad.
20 mins cardio (am), then -
Zercher Squat: to 4 x 3 x 140kg
SGDL from Deficit: to 4 x 3 x 150kg
Bench from Pins: to 4 x 3 x 130kg
Rest, 25 mins cardio
Zercher Squat: 4 x 3 x 110kg
Bench from Pins: 4 x 3 x 110kg
DB Curls
Hip pain prevented me from doing SGDL, so just the other two today. Heavy training tomorrow, so I'll try to recover in time. I blame the hip on the massive deficit used for SGDL and a light-hearted end-of-year submission fighting competition I got involved with (lol, wrestling against 125kg opponents will do it!). Not too bad, anyway. Bodyweight down to 97kg; I'm trying to get a bit leaner at the start of this BTS program while the weights are manageable, so hopefully I'll end up in better shape and stronger by the end.
Squat: to 2 x 1 x 220kg (hip was bad, had to leave it there)
Leg Extension: 4 x 15
Leg Curls: 4 x 8
Bench: paused up to 2 x 140kg
[am - 25 mins stationary bike]
Zercher Squat: to 2 x 160kg, 2 x 170kg, 2 x 180kg (definitely a PR!)
Deadlift: 4 x 5 x 130kg
Bench from Pins: to 2 x 140kg, 1+M x 142.5kg, 3 x 2 x 130kg
Zercher Squat: to 4 x 2 x 150kg
SGDL from Deficit: to 2 x 170kg, 1 x 180kg
DB Incline Press: 10, 8, x 30kg DBs, 7 x 26kg DBs
Close Grip Cable Row: 3 x 10
Close Grip Bench with Legs Raised: to 7 x 3 x 115kg (paused)
Zercher Squat: to 4 x 2 x 160kg
SGDL from Deficit: to 4 x 2 x 140kg
Bench from Pins: to 4 x 2 x 135kg, 2 x 140kg
DB Incline Press: 10, 10, 7, x 24kg DBs
CG Cable Row: 2 x 8 (with long pause at top)
[am - 45 mins stationary bike semi-fasted]
Zercher Squat: to 4 x 2 x 140kg
SGDL from Deficit: 4 x 2 x 120kg
Feeling pretty good; bit of a cold this week, but otherwise fine (hip no longer affecting me at all). Heavy competition lifts tomorrow, let's see how they're doing...
BW down to 96kg, so not expecting much on bench (!)
Testing was pretty bad. I felt sick and had no strength at all really, struggling with 210kg and 220kg and having to leave it at that. I finished with deadlifts to regain pride XD
HB Squat (with weightlifting shoes): volume between 120kg-150kg with sets of 2-3 reps, paused. Felt heavy.
CG Bench: w/u with 3 x 70kg, 3 x 90kg, 3 x 110kg, 2 x 120kg, 2 x 130kg, 1 x 140kg, 1 x 145kg (PR I guess), M x 150kg, 2 x 130kg, 2 x 3 x 120kg
HB Squat: up to 170kg, 3 x 1 x 160kg, 6 x 2 x 130kg (very long pause)
SGDL: 5 x 3 x 120kg
Z-Press: built up to 3 x 60kg, 2 x 65kg (more reps on ramp up)
So, this brings us to today's training... And I have decided to change my routine. The BTS program is great in some ways, and I love the Zercher squats and was very pleased to hit 180kg for a relatively comfortable double, but with my current squat problems (i.e. lack of proper squat training in the last two weeks and loss of strength from cutting) I feel I need to prioritize practice and frequent maximal training. So back to the full-on Bulgarian style it is, this time sticking with the high-bar squat (with olympic shoes, which I'm still struggling with due to my lack of quads) and close-grip bench as the main lifts.
I look forward to some serious squat gains, and should reach 220kg weightlifting style in the next two months if it goes to plan. Then I'll finally be ready for some long-awaited squat PRs on low-bar.
Today I stuck with slightly sub-maximal weights because I still feel off balance with the weightlifting shoes. All squats will be beltless unless noted.
CG Bench: to 2 x 120kg, 1 x 130kg, M x 140kg, 3 x 3 x 110kg, 2, 3, 3, x 120kg
HB Squat: w/u with 3x60kg, 3x110kg; 3 x 140kg, 3 x 3 x 150kg
HB Pin Squat: to 3 x 5 x 150kg
Leg Press: 100 continuous reps with a 25kg plate per side
CG Bench: to 130kg, 140kg, M x 145kg, 3 x 3 x 120kg, 3 x 2 x 130kg
HB Squat: to 170kg, M x 180kg, 5 x 3 x 150kg
Z-Press: 6, 8, 6, 5, x 50kg
Leg Press: 100 reps
CG Bench: to 130kg, 140kg, M x 145kg, 5 x 110kg, 3 x 120kg, 2 x 130kg, 2 x 135kg, 2 x 3 x 120kg
HB Squat: to 170kg, M x 180kg, 3 x 3 x 150kg, 3 x 2 x 160kg, 3 x 150kg
Cable Row: 10, 10, x full stack, 2 x 8 x pause with half stack
CG Bench: to 130kg, 140kg, 1 x 130kg, 5 x 3 x 120kg, 2 x 130kg
Training later...
New training schedule going well; I always respond to simply adding effort and increasing frequency. Still getting leaner, currently having coffee with either butter or cream, almond milk, and 2 scoops of protein for breakfast before going straight into my a.m. session - feels great, and it's an easy way to reduce carbohydrate intake if it replaces porridge or something like it does for me.
Squat numbers are obviously down due to the beltless olympic squat style I'm using, with weightlifting shoes as well which still make it harder for me because most of my strength is in places other than my quads. Not terrible though.
HB Squat: w/u with 3x70kg, 3x110kg, 2x140kg; 1 x 160kg, 1 x 170kg, M x 180kg, 3 x 2 x 160kg, 1 x 170kg, M x 180kg, 2 x 3 x 150kg
Still missing 180kg with this squat technique; it's so tough to get used to the heel etc. after training low-bar for so long. And don't worry, I will be back to powerlifting squats soon to get back on the PR train, I just need to sort my leg strength out first!
HB Squat: to 160kg, 170kg, 1 x 180kg (=PR for this style), 4 x 2 x 160kg
SGDL: 4 x 2 x 140kg
CG Bench: to 2 x 130kg, 1 x 140kg, 1 x 145kg (=PR), 5 x 2 x 130kg, 8, 6, 6, x 110kg
Strong day, 180kg was decent and marks the beginning of my climb to a 500lb olympic squat and also, hopefully, 600lbs powerlifting squat. Feeling better about training with the "double effort, double frequency" program... Very Bulgarian.
Something, something squat. Something something darkside... xD. Basically I've had a terrible sore throat all week, and it's making everything feeling just slightly worse than it should in the morning, at least until I manage to get some coffee down. Feeling alright while lifting though, weights increasing steadily. Feeling / looking a lot leaner.
CG Bench: to 130kg, 140kg, 145kg (=PR), M x 150kg, 6 x 2 x 130kg
Training again later. Didn't feel up for this session at all until I got to 140kg, but ended up getting 145kg and coming closer than ever to 150kg; close-grip coming on very well, feeling surprisingly strong considering weightloss.
HB Squat: to 170kg, M x 180kg, 3 x 2 x 150kg, 1 x 170kg, M x 180kg, 4 x 2 x 160kg, M x 170kg
Building volume seriously now, and while fatigue is keeping numbers low, I feel a lot better under the bar and am beginning to get used to the weightlifting squat style. Bodyweight around 94.5kg in the morning. I'll begin preparing my low bar squat once I've reached 220-230kg in this style.
CG Bench: to 3 x 1 x 140kg, M x 145kg, 5 x 2 x 130kg (or very similar)
HB Squat: to 170kg, then 3 x 2 x 160kg, 3 x 3 x 150kg, 2 x 5 x 140kg
CG Bench: to 145kg, 2 x 135kg, 3 x 3 x 130kg, 10 x 110kg
Then had a couple of events to go to, so 21st was a non-training day.
CG Bench: to 145kg, 2 x 140kg (PR!), 5 x 2 x 135kg
Still training, been away a bit and nothing special to report, but some decent sessions.
I tried out an axle bar for OHP, getting up to 90kg for a load of triples, and I've hit 140kg for 2 again a couple of times on close grip bench. Also some reasonable deadlift sessions beltless. But I'll skip to the present.
Still getting leaner, down to around 93-94kg at the moment but feeling just as strong on bench and overhead, which commonly go down with weight loss.
I've decided to try a basic 5x5 for a while, the Faleev style with deadlift once and squat twice, plus two bench sessions and maybe an extra close grip and overhead day. I will probably do some kind of squatting on other days too, maybe zombie squats, but not anything crazy. So...
HB Squat: (with belt) to 5 x 5 x 150kg
Machine Rows: sets of 12 up to 12 x 98kg
Started light for the 5x5, felt good.
So the first week was:
Squat: 5 x 5 x 150kg
Deadlift: 5 x 5 x 160kg
Bench: 5 x 5 x 120kg
Squat: 5 x 4 x 140kg
Bench: 5 x 4 x 110kg
Squat: 5 x 5 x 160kg
Deadlift: 5 x 5 x 170kg
This is just the 5 x 5 sets, not including the brief accessory work I've done afterwards.

Harassment and Assault Common on Subway
A group called New Yorkers for Safe Transit has called attention to the continual problem of female subway riders being ogled, groped, flashed, harassed and attacked.
From the New York Times: "The peak times in which women report sexual harassment or assaults on the subways are the late morning rush, roughly 8 to 10 a.m., followed by the early afternoon rush, 4 to 6 p.m.
One stretch of the subways - the crowded Nos. 4, 5 and 6 lines between Grand Central Terminal and Union Square - is a particular source of complaints."

First-year student Samantha Mahon recently won the 2016 Florida Geriatrics Society's David T. Lowenthal Founders Award in recognition of research in geriatrics. Mahon collaborated with John Agens, M.D., Suzanne Baker and LaVon Edgerton to complete the study, which began during her time as a Bridge student in spring 2016.
During the society's annual meeting, Mahon presented the research poster, "Assessing Mastery of a Geriatric Competency Domain in Fourth-Year Medical Students." It was selected for the award among seven other posters presented by residents and physicians.
"It is important to ensure that all medical students are capable of adequately caring for the elderly, regardless of the specialty they enter," said Mahon. "We looked to see how fourth-year students were performing in their geriatrics clerkship."
Mahon joined Department of Geriatrics employees Agens, Baker and Edgerton in studying three cohorts of students during their fourth-year geriatric clinical rotation.
"We used a student assignment to evaluate medical students, and it showed that they not only met the medication management competency for the elderly but mastered it with evidence of clinical reasoning," Mahon states in her research paper.
Recommended blood pressure targets, notations of fall risk, notations of life expectancy and recommendations for medication changes were analyzed for each group to reach this conclusion.
"Students were considering life expectancy and fall risk when making medication recommendations," said Mahon.
Mahon is the fourth person from the college to receive the Lowenthal award for excellence in geriatric research. It was given to third-year student Tamara Marryshow in 2015, first-year student Marielys Figueroa-Sierra in 2012 and Professor Alice Pomidor in 2005.
Future research recommended in the study involves continuing with other cohorts to ensure the results are not limited to one group. Mahon plans to continue to hone her clinical skills to serve seniors as well.
"Being raised with a strong influence from my grandparents instilled in me a desire to serve the elderly," she said. "I have a heart for the elderly and commit to serving their needs in my future practice."

Phillip Kwok plays the orphaned son of a general disgraced and executed by his political enemies... which has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. Raised to be a righteous martial artist, Yuan kicks off the story proper by finding a cave containing a skeleton, a treasure map, and a manual teaching him the Golden Snake style. Obeying a request hidden in the manual to give a portion of the treasure to the Golden Snake's old girlfriend, Yuan begins to seek the woman out - on the way solving the riddle of the Golden Snake, and how he came to his end.

I used to go to Alyson's Apple Orchard in Walpole, NH and it was the best experience. Any new farms that I haven't found yet out there?

Given a string with repeated characters, task is rearrange characters in a string so that no two adjacent characters are same.
Note : It may be assumed that the string has only lowercase English alphabets.
Input: aaabc Output: abaca Input: aaabb Output: ababa Input: aa Output: Not Possible Input: aaaabc Output: Not Possible
Asked In : Amazon Interview
Prerequisite : priority_queue.
The idea is to put highest frequency character first (a greedy approach). We use a priority queue (Or Binary Max Heap) and put all characters and ordered by their frequencies (highest frequency character at root). We one by one take highest frequency character from the heap and add it to result. After we add, we decrease frequency of the character and we temporarily move this character out of priority queue so that it is not picked next time.
We have to follow the step to solve this problem, they are:
1. Build a Priority_queue or max_heap, pq that stores characters and their frequencies.
…… Priority_queue or max_heap is built on the bases of frequency of character.
2. Create a temporary Key that will used as the previous visited element ( previous element in resultant string. Initialize it { char = '#' , freq = '-1' }
3. While pq is not empty.
….. Pop an element and add it to result.
….. Decrease frequency of the popped element by '1'
….. Push the previous element back into the priority_queue if it's frequency > '0'
….. Make the current element as previous element for the next iteration.
4. If length of resultant string and original, print "not possible". Else print result.

London, Jan 24 (ANI): A British couple is over the moon after the birth of their third child who entered the world exactly at 7.43.
Matt Rigby, 31, and partner Lowry Dairsley defied odds estimated at 300million to one when Harrison arrived at the same time.
According to hospital records, their first daughter Ella was born at 7.43am in October 2005.
Then Evie was born at 7.43pm on Boxing Day 2007.
But he and Dairsley were even more gob smacked last week when Harrison showed his head at 7.41am, and was finally born two minutes later.
"We were speechless when the first two were born," the Sun quoted phone banking assistant Dairsley, 26, of Salford, Greater Manchester, as saying.
"When we found I was pregnant with Harrison we joked that it would be incredible if the same happened. When I went into hospital at 5pm on Wednesday we forgot about it and concentrated on the labour.
"At 6.30am I felt the urge to push and when we next looked at the clock it was 7.41am.
"I was asked to wait for the next contraction by the midwife before she delivered him two minutes later. The doctors and midwives were speechless."
Matt added: "I looked up at the clock and it was 7.43. We couldn't believe the coincidence." (ANI)

As I was driving around the City of London yesterday I had a thought. While that is nothing unique, I try to have at least one thought a day, the specific thought was.
How great would it be if London became one of the best commerically mapped cities in Canada? Based on google's user generated maps, we could input the location of businessess around the Forest City.
That all it is really, quite a simple thought, and I don't think it would be a complicated project. So who is interested?

What....... no beheading photos?
In late 1945, the US and the Brits should have divided up the entire M/E, planted some flags and started to American/British-ize the citizens and turn them into Puerto Rico East!
Who cares about progress in Iran, their problem not ours.
Middle East - Those who enjoy taking from the U.S. taxpayer while contributing nothing.
libs are bringing sharia rule here
Yes religious wackos do suck.
I'm not exactly sure what influence the "forum lefties" have had, with our government's (both Rep. and Dem.) interference in Iran's internal politics and policies over the years ?

69 Position
– Sit on his face
– start rubbing your pussy all over his face..
– rub it hard…make the bed make noise..
Sometimes you should just chill out and watch his meat sway from side to side, back n forth.. It's a huge turn on especially if he has a big one. Pour oil on it to make it look more appealing and menacing.
I like to pour loads of oils to make it more shiny.
I LOVE spreading apart my pussy lips and then guiding my big clit into his mouth..

If he would only talk to you, you know you could make him understand how much you love him and need him in your life. This is what you are probably thinking if you have been the victim of a breakup and your ex boyfriend refuses to communicate with you. However the truth is, you should be glad your ex refuse to talk to you. Hearing his voice would make you start crying and begging and he would hang up.
A man becomes very uncomfortable when a woman starts crying and acts needy, so he ends any conversation you might have started. By showing panic and desperation you are making your ex boyfriend want to get as far away from you as possible. Which is just the opposite effect you want to have on him if you expect to get your ex back.
Men respond to challenge and as long as you are chasing him, you can't be much of a challenge. Stop and think, why do you think your guy broke up with you? It was because he had decided that he no longer wanted to date you – at least for a while. The only way you can make him want you again is by showing him the breakup was a mistake.
I have already said men like a challenge and what challenges them, is something they think they can't have. As long as you throw yourself at him, he knows he can have you anytime he wants you. But, if you can make him think you don't want him anymore, the whole situation changes. By accepting the breakup and letting him go, you can make him begin to wonder if the breakup was a good idea.
You will both have the time and space to think. Your ex may wonder what you are doing and see that his life is not so great without you in it. On the other hand you might feel a new freedom and decide that you would rather resume the life you led before you met your ex. In other words, you might not want your ex back after all. Your desperation to bring him back could have just been caused by shock or embarrassment.
Men do not like to be ignored and being ignored by their ex girlfriend is hard to take. Your ex will also be curious. He will wonder if you have found a new guy, or if you are still in love with him. This curiosity is what will make him communicate with you again. He will probably start out by sending a text and just ask how you are doing. If you text him right back and show him you are excited to hear from him there will be no reason for him to worry about losing you.
However, if you wait a few days and the text him by saying, Good to hear from you and I have been wanting to tell you the breakup was a good idea. Hope you are having as much fun as I am. If he still loves you and misses you, that should be enough to make him desperate to get you back. If not, you need to start a new life without him.

The Tempest
at Barbican
The Royal Shakespeare Company's ground-breaking production of The Tempest transfers to London for a limited seven week run at the Barbican this summer. Simon Russell Beale plays Prospero in this ground-breaking production directed by RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran. On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.

SAN FRANCISCO - Matt Williams had his choice of arms to stop the Giants.
As the seventh inning spun out of control Tuesday night, with the National League Division Series hanging in the balance, the Nationals' rookie manager could have tapped his brilliant reliever Tyler Clippard. He could have also leaned on Stephen Strasburg, who was available in relief with the Nationals on the brink of elimination.
Williams chose Aaron Barrett, the 26-year-old rookie, whose meltdown sent the Giants to a date with the Cardinals in the NLCS.
In the space of three pitches, Barrett bounced a fastball to the screen, then threw another to the screen on an intentional walk. The wild pitch scored Joe Panik, pushing the Giants to a tense 3-2 victory to capture the series in four games.
The Nationals won 96 games, most in the league. For the second time in three years, their season stalled in the first round.
The Giants' Hunter Pence made a leaping grab against the wall to blunt a rally in the sixth inning, bouncing off the fence like a crash test dummy to end a rally. The Nationals' Bryce Harper followed in the seventh with a tying homer that sailed over the rightfield foul pole and into McCovey Cove.
Either image would have been a fitting representative for such a tense contest. Instead, the defining moment involved Barrett, who flailed when called upon to end a rally.
With runners on first and second, Barrett walked Pence to load the bases. With Pablo Sandoval at bat, Barrett bounced a wild pitch past Wilson Ramos. Panik scored from third and the Giants pushed ahead for good.
Barrett added to the misery. Williams signaled for an intentional walk of Sandoval. The pitch sailed over Ramos' mitt, one-hopping the screen. Ramos scrambled to retrieve it. He fired to the plate, where Barrett applied the tag in time to get Buster Posey.
The Nationals held the deficit to one. It didn't matter. The Giants had pushed ahead, and they weren't looking back.
In need of a near-perfect performance to force the series back to Washington, the Nationals made too many mistakes. They botched a pair of routine plays in the second inning, costly mistakes that led to a 2-0 deficit. Brandon Crawford's one-out single was the only ball to leave the infield.
But pitcher Gio Gonzalez failed to field a comebacker. Later, he botched the coverage on a bunt. Gonzalez walked Gregor Blanco to force in a run. Panik followed with a groundout to score Juan Perez.
To survive, the Nationals needed a flatlining offense to rediscover its pulse. The faintest beat did not register until the fifth, when Ryan Vogelsong was lucky to escape with the Giants leading 2-1.
Ian Desmond singled ahead of Harper, who scorched a cutter down the leftfield line. Desmond scored from first and Harper unleashed a fist pump when he pulled into second base.
Harper tied it in the seventh with one swing.
For the second time in the series, he hit a tape-measure shot off fireballer Hunter Strickland, whose 97-mph fastball wound up buzzing a few kayakers in McCovey Cove. Harper raised his right arm and stared down Strickland on his way around the bases.
His dugout greeted him with a sea of high-fives. The Nationals evened the score.
Reprieve proved temporary. Soon, the Giants were spilling out of their dugout, their playoff pedigree once again tested. They passed, sending the Nationals slinking away to another bitter winter.

American Dream Meadowlands, the taxpayer-backed reincarnation of the gargantuan mall (4.8 million square feet!) once known as Xanadu (like that fabulous 1980 movie!) won't be finished in time to complement the 2014 Super Bowl at nearby Met-Life Stadium.
Responding to a reporter's question Wednesday, N.J. Governor Chris Christie said some of the $4 billion Dream may be "open or usuable" by kickoff, but added, "obviously, we're running out of time."
Triple Five, the Canadian developer Christie's administration persuaded, with $200 million in state tax credits, to take over the stalled mall/moneypit in 2010, claims the job is 80 percent complete. But the developer has filed suit against the Jets and Giants football organizations, accusing them of breaching an earlier agreement that enabled the project to proceed.
Those tempted to pooh-pooh Xanadu (now Dream) should bear in mind Xanadu (the movie), in which Olivia-Newton John plays a superrnatural being who inspires an artist to realize his dreams in a gargantuan roller-disco -- which looks alarmingly like some of the renderings for American Dream Meadowlands.

STATE PROSECUTORS should file charges against former Springfield mayor Jeff Northway if they can determine that he lied to voters about his criminal past.
Last Thursday, Northway resigned from office after our sister publication, Effingham Now, obtained documents from city officials that showed the former mayor had been convicted of three felonies more than 20 years ago.
Two of the offenses — theft by receiving and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle — occurred in Harris County, Texas, in 1983. The third offense, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, occurred in 1988 in the same county.
Documents showed Northway pleaded guilty and received a three-year sentence on the first two charges. They indicated he got five years on the 1988 charge.
Northway's resignation isn't just appropriate. He never should have run for public office in the first place.
Convicted felons are precluded from serving the public in such capacities. That's why they must sign affidavits when they qualify, attesting that no felony convictions are on their records.
It's no small matter. At stake is something precious: Public trust.
Last year, former Port Wentworth council member Vincent Hogan admitted to a felony charge of false swearing in connection with documents he filed for candidacy in 2009.
Chatham County Superior Court Judge Louisa Abbot sentenced him to five years in prison, with 18 days to serve, and the remainder on probation. The 18 days date back to when the judge ordered him jailed for violating terms of his pre-trial bond.
Northway had been at the center of a bitter fight with members of his own City Council, which tried to boot him from office for issues unrelated to crimes in Texas. That effort went all the way to the Georgia Supreme Court.
The court ruled unanimously in Northway's favor June 18. But after that date, Effingham Now obtained records from Springfield city officials through the Georgia Open Records Act. Included were documents from the city to Northway's attorney, Charles Herman, indicating that city officials had discovered Northway's criminal records.
Mr. Herman apparently tried to work a deal where the mayor would step down if the city kept the circumstances hush-hush. That's totally inappropriate.
Criminal convictions are public record. Northway's request for discretion seems completely self-serving — to keep prosecutors from finding out that he lied on his paperwork when he ran for Springfield's mayor.
Fibbing about some things on an election form, like residency, may not rise to the level where prosecutors should act. But fudging about three felony convictions is a serious matter.
Richard Mallard, district attorney for the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit, should examine the facts and see if Northway broke state law. If so, Mr. Mallard should file criminal charges.
Most communities don't have the budgets to do extensive background checks on people who run for office. So when people are caught lying about felony convictions, it's necessary to make examples of them. It deters others from hoodwinking voters. Protecting the sanctity of the ballot box is the least that prosecutors can do.

In keeping with my promise to make more accessible cocktails, I decided to make a cocktail inspired by chocolate-covered candied grapefruit peel.
Or maybe I just happen to have a fair amount of grapefruit juice.
Either way, this cocktail uses a common liquor, a common liqueur, and a common citrus juice for a non-fussy girlie drink which my husband approved. Pinkies up, y'all!
Also, I'll likely be posting a slow cooked candied grapefruit peel with chocolate coating recipe because my husband purchased some grapefruit that I was SO excited about. The rind smelled amazing and was already a bit syrupy, but then I cracked it open… What little flesh there was would turn your mouth inside-out. However, the rind was far too enticing to not experiment with. Right now I'm just waiting for the batch to dry, but it already tastes amazing.
This work is copyrighted – do NOT publish/repost/use it without my permission.
In a Collins glass filled with crushed ice, pour 1 oz dark creme de cacao and 1 oz vodka.
Top with grapefruit juice.
Garnish with a grapefruit slice and serve with a straw.
If you're new to this blog (as I'm sure you are), please click around for more cocktails, and follow me on Pinterest for all the latest!
I'm going to need all the encouragement (and sippy cups) I can get!

Greetings Friends, Constituents and Supporters:
Now that Committee assignments have been made, committees are getting organized and making plans for bills to be referred. Most Committees will start hearing bills next week. However, The Committee on appropriations has already started working on the budget. The Pensions Committee, of which I am Chair, will begin hearing testimony from the various Executive Directors and other Resource Witness starting next week.
In 2014, Governor Rick Perry transferred over 38 million dollars to pay to deploy additional Department Public Safety Officers and National Guard troops along the border. Due to the delayed action of the executive branch of the United States, Texas has been forced to protect our own border, spending millions of dollars and putting an undue burden on Texas taxpayers. We will continue to work with members of the US Congress to assure Texas Taxpayers are reimbursed.
On Friday, I filed House Concurrent Resolution 61 which urges the United States Congress to reimburse the State of Texas in the amount of $603,600,000 for bearing the financial burden of the federal government's responsibility to secure the Texas-Mexico border from 2012-2015. Senator Craig Estes has the companion Resolution in the Senate. It is the responsibility of the federal government to fully maintain the security of the Texas-Mexico international border-not the state of Texas. Since they have neglected their duty to fully maintain the security of all Texans, we will be asking them to reimburse our state. An unsecure border allows for drug smuggling, human trafficking, and makes it much easier not only for violent criminals to come through to Texas but also terrorists who wish to harm us.
In other matters, the Kroll Report of the University of Texas at Austin – Investigation of Admissions Practices and Allegations of Undue Influence was presented as of February 6, 2015. Their report was with the encouragement of the Committee on Transparency in State Government Operations.
Admiral McRaven, the University Of Texas Chancellor, released a letter regarding the report on potential admission irregularities at the University of Texas. In the letter, Admiral McRaven states that he "…found nothing in the report that rises to the level of willful misconduct or criminal activity and therefore, as it is my responsibility to adjudicate the findings, I conclude that no disciplinary action is warranted against President Powers or other administration officials at the School of Law, the McCombs Graduate School of Business or the University writ large. Consequently, I will not recommend any additional actions regarding this issue."
As the former Co-Chair of the Committee on Transparency in State Government Operation, I fully support Admiral McRaven's hard work and diligence that went into his managing this situation and bringing it to a full disclosure.
Unfortunately, some seeking to disrupt the process published reports in various newspapers around the state that were highly inaccurate and were followed by reports by groups intending to defame not only myself but members of both parties on the committee who worked very hard to come to a thorough and fair conclusion to the investigation and questionable conduct by Regent Wallace Hall.
As stated in my Confidential Letter to Legislators, everyone was given every opportunity to submit testimony, witness lists, evidence and any other information they felt was important to the investigation and, for whatever reason, some chose not to. It was also stated in my letter that there was failure on the part of many to handle personal matters in a professional and prudent manner.
Fortunately many have made the point this week by calling out bullies and taking them to task for their making up facts that do not exist. To continue to question the legislative committee's actions is a failed move by those who don't know or understand the process.
I support the statement by Chancellor William H. McRaven that he finds nothing in the report that rises to the level of willful misconduct or criminal activity and no disciplinary action is warranted. Those that would question the Admiral's integrity may have forgotten that this is the man who ensured the world stood up to Osama Bin Laden and I think those who would question his forthrightness and honestly is shameful.
The silver lining to these challenges is that change has occurred. The Governors appointment office has changed their process, as have our Senate Colleagues when they instruct their confirmation process and the University of Texas System has already begun to change its processes.

Video: Motorbike ride on Madeira
Those who come to Madeira often and hires a car to drive around might have noticed that some locals think that they were born too slow and seek to cross the borders of speed limits. Not only cars, but motorcycles, trucks and even some buses. Luckily not all members of the road have this 'kick'.
But often you will hear from behind the roaring sound of a motor-devil that is announcing his presence … passes you by in a wink of your eyes .. and vanishes in the next curve leaving you with a impression of one second.
Most of these bikers do not care much about their own life and the only thing they want is to reach the climax of breaking the speed limits on the road.
Look at the video …. made here on Madeira. Watch the speedometer! This is low-flying! And guess how these guys were 'dressed' on their bikes? (the only sure protection would be the helmet).
And if the person who added this video is the one who was driving …. you would not believe how old he is ….. 😯

Q: I have worked for the federal government for six years and participate in the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). I also have a self-directed Roth IRA and 401(k) with Schwab. Getting near retirement, I am not really happy with the burden of self-directed accounts, and my trading costs are high because I tend to over-manage the portfolio. I also have a Vanguard taxable account. I am considering these alternatives for the retirement plans:
— Roll the Schwab 401(k) plan into the Thrift Savings Plan, which as you point out in columns is very low-cost. Fund choices are limited to bond, Treasury, large-cap, small cap and international, but that should be enough.
— Keep the TSP and Schwab separate, and have Schwab administer the plans it has. It charges 0.75 to 1 percent of assets and has various plans (Private Client, Windhaven, managed portfolio, etc.) I don't like to lose that much in costs (it would be about $7,000 a year in fees) compared to the TSP, but do you think Schwab could outperform TSP consistently?
— Transfer retirement plans to Vanguard and invest in a LifeStrategy Fund. I have heard that it is pretty hard for actively managed plans to beat the indexes, and the LifeStrategy Fund is built with index funds and regularly rebalances.
I am trying to simplify my retirement fund management. I don't think I do a very good job; I get too impulsive. Any suggestions would be welcome. Do I really need to pay a fee-based registered investment adviser to do a basic asset allocation and rebalance? I am wondering whether the simplest option would be to put all funds in TSP and go with the lowest cost. I could do my own rebalancing. Or do you think Schwab might earn its increased fees in terms of return? — T.M., Fort Harrison, Mont.
A: Whether you go to Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard or another asset manager/fund company, the basic issue is whether management can recover the costs it imposes on your money. Those costs vary from reasonable to ludicrous, but most are in the range of 0.75 percent or 1.5 percent, plus higher trading costs.
Here, decades of research are not encouraging. The research indicates that the additional costs will not be recovered. When you bet on managers, you are basically hoping that your manager will be one of the 30 percent (often less) who beat their target index.
This is not because portfolio managers are nitwits. They aren't. Indeed, you can be proud that some portion of your management fees may allow them to send their children to Harvard. The reason costs aren't recovered is that even very intelligent people can't predict the future.
In fact, you can have a low-cost, managed solution at the TSP, Schwab and Vanguard. You can do this very easily in the TSP, while enjoying its ultra-low costs of 0.027 percent, by investing in one of the "L" funds.
You can do something very similar with a Vanguard LifeStrategy Fund. Vanguard also uses low-cost index funds to build the portfolios. The Moderate Growth Fund (ticker: VSMGX) invests in the U.S. Total Market Index, the very broad Total International Stock Index, and a domestic total bond index with about 60 percent equities, 40 percent fixed-income, at a cost of only 0.16 percent.
It is more expensive to do this at Schwab with its MarketTrack and Target funds, but you can virtually duplicate your TSP or Vanguard fund choice at Schwab by buying its low-cost, individual exchange-traded funds in the same proportions as the pre-built portfolios offered by the TSP and Vanguard.
Indeed, if you want to follow my Couch Potato portfolio path, you can do it easily and at very low cost. The annual cost would be 0.07 percent at Schwab and 0.10 percent at Vanguard.
Rather than consolidate the Schwab 401(k) plan into the TSP, why not keep it until you retire? Then you could move the TSP holdings into a familiar Schwab rollover account. You'll have all your assets under one roof, free checking and online account information that shows your total holdings. That's a lot better than having what some call "scattered asset syndrome."

Over the past two decades, Canada has witnessed continued economic stability and progress despite the recent crisis that wreaked havoc in most other advanced economies. In fact, Canada has never had a banking crisis and has one of the highest levels of well-being, but challenges remain, said OECD Secretary-General.
As advanced economies struggle to consolidate recovery from the deepest financial crisis in modern times, promoting innovation becomes critically important to develop new products, new services, and new ways of doing thing, said OECD Secretary-General.
To tackle rising inequalities we need to reassess the way in which our economies grow. By placing inclusiveness at the heart of the growth debate we can open up opportunity so that every citizen can realise their potential, to contribute to, and benefit from, more equitable economic growth, said OECD Secretary-General.
Solving the long-term investment 'puzzle' must, by its very nature, be a joint effort between public and private sectors. Policymakers need to partner with institutional investors to find workable solutions, said OECD Secretary-General in Montreal.
Mr. Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the OECD, will be in Montreal to attend the International Economic Forum of the Americas, where he will present the 2014 OECD Economic Survey of Canada, and the OECD Review of Employment and Skills Strategies in Canada.
When it comes to well-being, American users of the OECD Better Life Index (BLI) want to be happy, Canadians care most about health, while Latin Americans strive for better education. That's according to user feedback as the Index marks its third birthday.
Une reprise est en cours dans les économies avancées du monde, étayée par des conditions financières favorables et un relâchement du freinage exercé par le resserrement budgétaire, mais la situation de l'activité est contrastée dans les grandes économies de marché émergentes, selon la dernière Évaluation économique intermédiaire de l'OCDE.
Canada weathered the economic and financial crisis and its aftermath better than most other advanced economies, but productivity growth, in particular growth in multifactor productivity, has been persistently weak despite comparatively high investment in knowledge-based capital and a business environment generally favourable to entrepreneurship.
Canada enjoys relatively high GDP per capita but productivity growth has been weak despite comparatively high investment in knowledge-based capital, a fairly competitive business environment and a reasonably well-functioning labour market.
Individual country notes assessing how regions and cities contribute to national growth and the well-being of society.

Safety Guy at Fort Stanwix, NY, 2010
I've always loved history. I was the kid who would read encyclopedias for fun. I enjoyed history classes in school. I read ahead in the textbook, because I liked the subject matter. My parents had something like 20 years of National Geographic magazines in the basement, and I used them as my own personal history and nature library. Favorite issues got reread many times (especially the ones about Pompeii). After waffling through several majors in college, I ended up as a history major. I still read books about various topics and personalities in history for pleasure. So, it's not surprising that I really enjoyed teaching my own children about history when we were home schooling. What really thrills me, though, is that Safety Guy has apparently picked up my love of history for himself.
I'm really excited about his ongoing interest in history. So many students have no interest in the past at all, but he's always been receptive to learning about history. I just had to "pitch" it to his interests to catch his attention. Want to study the opening of the American West? Let's look at the expansion of railroads. What about the Civil War? Don't forget transportation and industrialization. The Industrial Revolution was easy - inventors and inventions were a natural bridge to other issues. He's been interested in shipwrecks from every era for years, and that has led us from ancient Rome to World War II and everywhere in between. This April is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, and he's already renewing his interest in that famous disaster. He likes classic and retro TV and music, and that's led him to take books about more recent history (the later 20th century) out of the library.
I'm fortunate - my husband enjoys history almost as much as I do, and we've been taking the kids to museums and historical sites since they were born. And, what's even better it that they LIKE visiting these places most of the time. Historical sites and living history museums are great for family outings.
This week he's revisiting World War II, through a program called WWII in HD, which combines old documentary and news footage with interviews. It's pretty graphic stuff at times, but he's older than the first time we went over this topic, and he decided on his own that he wanted to learn about WWII in more detail. I'm glad he WANTS to know about these events from our history. Today I told him the saying, "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it," then had to explain it to him. I think it's exciting that he wants to know about these things. Hopefully it will serve him well as he grows up and moves on in his life.
If nothing else, he'll be really good at older editions of Trivial Pursuit. . . .

While living in Paris, Stein began submitting her writing for publication. Her earliest writings were mainly retellings of her college experiences. Her first critically acclaimed publication was Three Lives. In 1911, Mildred Aldrich introduced Stein to Mabel Dodge Luhan and they began a short-lived but fruitful friendship during which the wealthy Mabel Dodge promoted Gertrude's legend in the United States.
Mabel was enthusiastic about Stein's sprawling publication The Makings of Americans and, at a time when Stein had much difficulty selling her writing to publishers, privately published 300 copies of Portrait of Mabel Dodge at Villa Curonia,[34] a copy of which was valued at $25,000 in 2007.[45] Dodge was also involved in the publicity and planning of the 69th Armory Show in 1913, "the first avant-garde art exhibition in America".[34]
In addition, she wrote the first critical analysis of Stein's writing to appear in America, in "Speculations, or Post-Impressionists in Prose", published in a special March 1913 publication of Arts and Decoration.[46] Foreshadowing Stein's later critical reception, Dodge wrote in "Speculations":
In Gertrude Stein's writing every word lives and, apart from concept, it is so exquisitely rhythmical and cadenced that if we read it aloud and receive it as pure sound, it is like a kind of sensuous music. Just as one may stop, for once, in a way, before a canvas of Picasso, and, letting one's reason sleep for an instant, may exclaim: "It is a fine pattern!" so, listening to Gertrude Stein's words and forgetting to try to understand what they mean, one submits to their gradual charm.[46]
Stein and Carl Van Vechten, the noted critic and photographer, became acquainted in Paris in 1913. The two became lifelong friends, devising pet names for each other: Van Vechten was "Papa Woojums", and Stein, "Baby Woojums". Van Vechten served as an enthusiastic champion of Stein's literary work in the United States, in effect becoming her American agent.[38]
Stein in America (1934–1935)
In October 1934, Stein arrived in America after a 30-year absence. Disembarking from the ocean liner in New York, she encountered a throng of reporters. Front-page articles on Stein appeared in almost every New York City newspaper. As she rode through Manhattan to her hotel, she was able get a sense of the publicity that would hallmark her US tour. An electric sign in Times Square announced to all that "Gertrude Stein Has Arrived."[47]
Her six-month tour of the country encompassed 191 days of travel, criss-crossing 23 states and visiting 37 cities. The lectures Stein prepared for each stop over conformed to a formal structure, and the audience was limited to five hundred attendees for each venue. She spoke, reading from notes, and provided for an audience question and answer period at the end of her presentation.[47]
The effectiveness of Stein as a lecture speaker provoked varying evaluations. At the time, some maintained that "Stein's audiences by and large did not understand her lectures." Some of those in the psychiatric community weighed in, judging that Stein suffered from a speech disorder, palilalia, which caused her "to stutter over words and phrases". The predominant feeling, however, was that Stein was a compelling presence, a fascinating personality who had the ability to hold listeners with the "musicality of her language".[47]
In Washington, D.C. Stein was invited to have tea with the President's wife, Eleanor Roosevelt. In Beverly Hills, California, she visited with Charlie Chaplin who reportedly discussed the future of cinema with her.[47]
Stein left America in May 1935, a newly minted America celebrity with a commitment from Random House, who had agreed to become the American publisher for all future works.[47]
The Chicago Daily Tribune wrote after Stein's return to Paris: "No writer in years has been so widely discussed, so much caricatured, so passionately championed."[47]
Gertrude completed Q.E.D. (Quod Erat Demonstrandum) on October 24, 1903.[48] This piece is discussed more completely later in this article at Lesbian relationships.
Fernhurst (1904)
In 1904 Stein began this fictional account of a scandalous three-person romantic affair involving a dean (M. Carey Thomas) and a faculty member (Mary Gwinn) from Bryn Mawr College and a Harvard graduate (Alfred Hodder).[49] Mellow asserts that Fernhurst "is a decidedly minor and awkward piece of writing".[50] It includes some commentary that Gertrude mentioned in her autobiography when she discussed the "fateful twenty-ninth year"[50] during which:
All the forces that have been engaged through the years of childhood, adolescence and youth in confused and ferocious combat range themselves in ordered ranks (and during which) the straight and narrow gateway of maturity, and life which was all uproar and confusion narrows down to form and purpose, and we exchange a great dim possibility for a small hard reality.
Also in our American life where there is no coercion in custom and it is our right to change our vocation so often as we have desire and opportunity, it is a common experience that our youth extends through the whole first twenty-nine years of our life and it is not till we reach thirty that we find at last that vocation for which we feel ourselves fit and to which we willingly devote continued labor.[51]
Mellow observes that, in 1904, 30-year-old Gertrude "had evidently determined that the 'small hard reality' of her life would be writing".[52]
Three Lives (1905–1906)
Stein attributed the inception of this work to the inspiration she received from a portrait Cézanne had painted of his wife and which was in the Stein collection. She credited this as a revelatory moment in the evolution of her writing style. Stein described:
|that the stylistic method of (Three Lives) had been influenced by the Cézanne portrait under which she sat writing. The portrait of Madame Cézanne is one of the monumental examples of the artist's method, each exacting, carefully negotiated plane—from the suave reds of the armchair and the gray blues of the sitter's jacket to the vaguely figured wallpaper of the background—having been structured into existence, seeming to fix the subject for all eternity. So it was with Gertrude's repetitive sentences, each one building up, phrase by phrase, the substance of her characters.[53]
She began Three Lives during the spring of 1905, and finished it the following year.[54]
The Making of Americans (1902–1911)
Gertrude Stein stated the date for her writing of The Making of Americans was 1906–8. Her biographer has uncovered evidence that it actually began in 1902 and did not end until 1911.[55] Stein compared her work to James Joyce's Ulysses and to Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. Her critics were less enthusiastic about it.[56] First publication in Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Work (August 1912).
Further publication history
Stein wrote the bulk of the novel between 1903 and 1911, and evidence from her manuscripts suggests three major periods of revision during that time.[57] The manuscript remained mostly hidden from public view until 1924 when, at the urging of Ernest Hemingway, Ford Madox Ford agreed to publish excerpts in the transatlantic review.[58] In 1925, the Paris-based Contact Press published a limited run of the novel consisting of 500 copies. A much-abridged edition was published by Harcourt Brace in 1934, but the full version remained out of print until Something Else Press republished it in 1966. In 1995, a new, definitive edition was published by Dalkey Archive Press with a foreword by William Gass.[59]
Gertrude's Matisse and Picasso descriptive essays appeared in Alfred Stieglitz's August 1912 edition of Camera Work, a special edition devoted to Picasso and Matisse, and represented her very first publication.[60] Of this publication, Gertrude said, "[h]e was the first one that ever printed anything that I had done. And you can imagine what that meant to me or to any one."[60]
Word Portraits (1908–1913)
Stein's descriptive essays apparently began with her essay of Alice B. Toklas, "a little prose vignette, a kind of happy inspiration that had detached itself from the torrential prose of The Making of Americans".[61] Stein's early efforts at word portraits are catalogued in Mellow (1974, pp. 129–37) and under individual's names in Kellner, 1988. Matisse and Picasso were subjects of early essays,[62] later collected and published in Geography and Plays[63] and Portraits and Prayers.[64][65][66]
Her subjects included several ultimately famous personages, and her subjects provided a description of what she observed in her Saturday salons at 27 Rue de Fleurus: "Ada" (Alice B. Toklas), "Two Women" (The Cone sisters, Claribel Cone and Etta Cone), Miss Furr and Miss Skeene (Ethel Mars and Maud Hunt Squire), "Men" (Hutchins Hapgood, Peter David Edstrom, Maurice Sterne), "Matisse" (1909, Henri Matisse), "Picasso" (1909, Pablo Picasso), "Portrait of Mabel Dodge at the Villa Curonia" (1911, Mabel Dodge Luhan), and "Guillaume Apollinaire" (1913).
Tender Buttons (1912)
Tender Buttons is the best known of Gertrude Stein's "hermetic" works. It is a small book separated into three sections—Food, Objects and Rooms each containing prose under subtitles.[67] Its publication in 1914 caused a great dispute between Mabel Dodge Luhan and Stein, because Mabel had been working to have it published by another publisher.[68] Mabel wrote at length about the bad choice of publishing it with the press Gertrude selected.[68] Evans wrote Gertrude:
Claire Marie Press... is absolutely third rate, & in bad odor here, being called for the most part 'decadent" and Broadwayish and that sort of thing... I think it would be a pity to publish with [Claire Marie Press] if it will emphasize the idea in the opinion of the public, that there is something degenerate & effete & decadent about the whole of the cubist movement which they all connect you with, because, hang it all, as long as they don't understand a thing they think all sorts of things. My feeling in this is quite strong.[68]
Stein ignored Mabel's exhortations, and eventually Mabel, and published 1,000 copies of the book, in 1914. An antiquarian copy was valued at over $1,200 in 2007. It is currently in print, and was re-released as Tender Buttons: The Corrected Centennial Edition by City Lights Publishers in March 2014.
In an interview with Robert Bartlett Haas in "A Transatlantic Interview - 1946", Stein insisted that this work was completely "realistic" in the tradition of Gustave Flaubert, stating the following: "I used to take objects on a table, like a tumbler or any kind of object and try to get the picture of it clear and separate in my mind and create a word relationship between the word and the things seen." Commentators have indicated that what she meant was that the reference of objects remained central to her work, although the representation of them had not.[69] Scholar Marjorie Perloff had said of Stein that "[u]nlike her contemporaries (Eliot, Pound, Moore), she does not give us an image, however fractured, of a carafe on a table; rather, she forces us to reconsider how language actually constructs the world we know."[69]

text: I am rebuilding a 20 year old pond with flagstone edging on the sides. I tore up most of it, but they want to keep half and add the broken peices to create a new pathway to the old. I have limited experience with hardscapes and flagstone. I always thought everyone put a layer of sand down, tamped it and set stone on it. What the original installer did was lay down a layer of 3" mortar, set the stone down and looks like they motared the joints. Can I lay it down using sand and then somehow motor joints to make it look like the old stuff? Any thoughts?
