Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres by Henry Adams ( Book )
182 editions published between 1904 and 2012 in English and Undetermined and held by 5,422 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
From the Back Cover: Mont Saint Michel and Chartres is a record not of a literal journey but of a meditative journey across time and space into the medieval imagination. Using the architecture, sculpture, and stained glass of the two locales as a starting point, Adams breathes life into what others might see merely as monuments of a past civilization. With daring and inventive conceits, Adams looks at the ordinary people, places, and events in the context of the social conventions and systems of thought and belief of the thirteenth century, turning the study of history into a kind of theater. As Raymond Carney discusses in his introduction, Adam's freedom from the European traditions of study lends exuberance-and puckish wit-to his writings

96 editions published between 1882 and 2011 in English and Undetermined and held by 2,687 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Set in Washington in the 1870s, Democracy presents a scathing and incisive look at the intricate inner workings of politics and corruption that remains relevant today

Esther, a novel by Henry Adams ( Book )
39 editions published between 1884 and 2010 in English and Undetermined and held by 630 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Esther (1884), the second of two novels by noted American historian Henry Adams (1838-1918), deals with a woman's inability to accept religious faith as men have formulated it. Esther Dudley, a young New York socialite and artist raised without religion, falls in love with Episcopal clergyman Stephen Hazard, but she cannot embrace his Christianity and remain true to herself. Displaying the subtle interplay of mind found in the best work of Henry James, Esther suggests the symbolism of the Virgin Mary that Adams would take up some twenty years later in his Mont Saint-Michel and Chartres, a Study in Thirteenth-Century Unity: Esther rejects Hazard just as the Virgin rejected the scholastic formulation of the Trinity and the whole medieval system of moral law
The correspondence of Henry James and Henry Adams, 1877-1914 by Henry James ( Book )
5 editions published in 1992 in English and held by 616 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Few writers have had such a significant impact on American literature in the twentieth century as have Henry James and Henry Adams. The influence of Adams' Education appears unmistakably in the work of writers as diverse as T.S. Eliot, Sherwood Anderson, Vachel Lindsay, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Eugene O'Neill, Nathanael West, Norman Mailer, and Thomas Pynchon. The list of writers influenced by James is virtually endless, ranging from Ezra Pound and Wallace Stevens to Robert Lowell, among poets, and from Ford Madox Ford and Edith Wharton to Philip Roth and Cynthia Ozick, among fiction writers. The Correspondence of Henry James and Henry Adams, 1877-1914, edited and annotated by George Monteiro, collects the surviving correspondence between these two legendary figures, along with four letters from James to Adams' wife, Marian "Clover" Hooper Adams. James, Adams, and Mrs. Adams were close friends until her death in 1885, and the two men continued to visit and correspond until James's death. The letters in this volume reflect the strength and vitality of that friendship and of the intellectual exchanges that nourished it. Covering a thirty-eight-year period, these thirty-six letters constitute the known extant correspondence exchanged by the two Henrys. Monteiro has carefully and skillfully edited each letter in its entirety from the manuscript original. In addition to the letters, he includes a chronology, a calendar of unlocated letters between the two men, and a bibliography. His introduction to the collection traces James's relationship with his two New England friends, Henry and Clover, in rich detail. This essay makes a lively background to the letters and sets them in vivid context. This is a fascinating collection that reveals the patterns of an enduring friendship and the minds and personalities of the participants. It makes a valuable contribution to scholarship about James and Adams, as well as to our understanding of the social and intellectual worlds in which they lived
The formative years; a history of the United States during the administrations of Jefferson and Madison by Henry Adams ( Book )

Snooki's out for blood ... claiming a rival perfume company jacked her trademark scent ... and she wants at least $2.4 million to call it even.
Snooki has filed a lawsuit against Excell Brands in New Jersey, claiming its perfume called "Snazzy" is a blatant rip-off her of her official fragrance called "Snooki."
The former "Jersey Shore" star says Snazzy is so shameless about its trademark infringement, it even says so on the box ... calling itself "our version of Snooki by Nicole Polizzi." She's not lying.
Now Snooki wants a court to order Excell to stop selling Snazzy perfume ASAP ... and to make the company fork over a minimum of $2 mil in damages. Calls to Excell weren't returned.
Snookie needs to get a tummy tuck. Nasty little troll.
Like she never purchased a knock off....... please

This is NOTHING new....every dollar store or Five Below etc has knock off perfume. Britney, Paris, Chanel! For YEARS now....just like Walmart has purses that KINDA look like the C pattern design from Coach but its not placed right? Knock offs are nothing new, and not illegal....she needs to get a life.
I want to marry Snooki. Snooki-leave that creep you are with. We will go running in the sand all happy like and you can feed me grapes while I lay in a hammock on a deserted island. Also, I have the strength of 10 men.
There are knock offs in every drugstore in America. It's legal and Snooki doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Eau de Chlamydia.

Here is my most recent edition of Susan's Corner from H.D. Living Magazine. I thought that it was a good idea to share it with my KCAL peeps too.            Â
Memorial Day: A Day of Remembrance not just Revenue and Revelry
 What began as a day of solemn remembrance of those who "gave the last full measure of devotion,†has become another long weekend in which to revel, hold 'blowout' sales, and hit the beaches and BBQs for the unofficial start of summer. While there is nothing wrong with enjoying the fun stuff over a long weekend or celebrating the American economic tradition by consuming goods and services, it is also important, particularly this year, to take a moment to remember what Memorial Day is all about.Â
Memorial Day began just after the American Civil War, which began 150 years ago this year. The Civil War claimed more than 600,000 American lives, and cemeteries quickly filled to overflowing.  Many national cemeteries (including Arlington and Gettysburg) were built during or just after the war. Following the war, many soldiers' bodies from both sides were reclaimed from rudely dug battlefield graves to be repatriated and reburied in proper cemeteries. Mourners, North and South, began the practice of decorating the graves of their soldiers with flowers, ribbons and other embellishments as a way to honor the sacrifice of the dead. Also called Decoration Day in some regions, for many years it was celebrated on different days in the North and South. As the nation healed (and continues to heal) from the violent rift and Americans died on other battlefields in other wars, the last Monday in May became Memorial Day, a national holiday on which all soldiers were to be remembered.Â
Families and friends spending time together on the cusp of summer, BBQing, and yes, even making major purchases, has been made possible by the brave sacrifices of those who have fallen in battle defending our rights to such pursuits, so be sure as you enjoy the pleasures of the day that you pause to remember why we celebrate.

J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII Tease
A new tease from Episode VII director J.J. Abrams features the Millennium Falcon and Batmobile.
Abrams' clip, shot on his U.K. set, gives fans their closest look yet at Solo's ship, the painstaking detail on it more evidence of his pledge to return to the Star Wars saga's roots with physical, non-pc-generated sets. In the clip, just as the camera zooms in on a detail of Batman's Tumbler from Christopher Nolan's trilogy, painted into the ship.
Quick note, Abrams has hidden similar Easter eggs in other movies. Abrams smuggled R2-D2 into both his 2009 Star Trek and its 2013 sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness.
Star Wars: Episode VII is slated for a Dec. 18, 2015 release, while Batman v. Superman swings into theaters March 25, 2016.

No Matthew McConaughey for Magic Mike Sequel
According to Magic Mike XXL director Gregory Jacobs, Matthew McConaughey won't be reprising his role the upcoming sequel.
Jacobs didn't say why McConaughey isn't coming back when asked, only to say the film would be very different.
"It's road trip movie, and put it this way: it's different enough that once you see it, you'll understand why we made a sequel," Jacobs said. "No one will be accusing us of making the same movie twice."
He truly means is, because Jacobs said he plans to hire a whole new cast.
We'll all just have to wait and see when Magic Mike XXL drops into theaters July 1, 2015.

Neil Patrick Harris Dishes About His Wedding
NPH stopped by The View this week to spill it all about his Italian wedding to David Burtka earlier in the month.
"We've been together over 10 years and I think when our kids got to the age they were having reasonable conversations, when they are asking lots of why questions, to have a clear-cut explanation of who their daddy is, I think is great," Harris said of why he tied the knot. "He's my husband and it was easier than partner or boyfriend or something like that."
Neil Patrick said only about 45 people were at the wedding and "I just wanted to be able to say nice things about David, to David, in front of the people that matter the most to us. It was less about a proclamation and more of a declaration."
"It was so crazy, because when you watch other people say their vows and get all chocked up, you say 'Come on! Pull it together man,'" Harris added. "Then when you are standing there and it's you and you have this piece of paper in your hand and it's shaking … you can't help but just get super-duper choked up."
To top things off, Elton John performed at the rented castle ceremony.

Leonardo DiCaprio Named to UN Post
Academy Award-nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio has been designated a United Nations Messenger of Peace on Tuesday by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
"Mr. DiCaprio is a credible voice in the environmental movement, and has a considerable platform to amplify its message," Ban said. "I am pleased he has chosen to add his voice to U.N. efforts to raise awareness of the urgency and benefits of acting now to combat climate change."
As part of the gig, DiCaprio is invited to a U.N. climate summit on Sept. 23rd.
In 1998, DiCaprio founded the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation to build relationships with environmental leaders and experts.
Leo is now one of 12 U.N. Messengers of Peace who are messengers of Peace, and the U.N. says are, "individuals who possess widely recognized talents in the fields of art, film, literature, music and sports, helping to raise worldwide awareness of the ideals and activities."

The official source of product insight from the Visual Studio Engineering Team
Let's talk about the all-caps menus.
When we shared the RC design preview with you, we expected the uppercase menu would generate mixed feedback and emotions. We had seen similar reactions from early adopters and from our own internal users prior to posting about it. Rest assured that we've heard you, and we've been thinking through what should be done here. Using uppercase for the menus was not an arbitrary decision, and I think it will help the discussion to frame why we made this change.
We've chosen to use uppercase styling in the top menu for two main reasons: 1) to keep Visual Studio consistent with the direction of other Microsoft user experiences, and 2) to provide added structure to the top menu bar area.
On the first point, the use of uppercase text is becoming a strong signature element of styling for navigation and headings in Microsoft user interfaces. You can see it in the Azure Portal, in Zune, and in the latest Bing search results update.
On the second point, we explored designs with and without uppercase styling. In the end we determined it to be a very effective way of providing structure and emphasis to the top menu area in Visual Studio 2012.
Based on early feedback on this application of uppercase styling, we made two modifications to our design. First, we tuned the typography of the menu to better adjust to uppercase text, including increased spacing between menu items from 14px to 20px to make menu items stand out better. Secondly, we moved Quick Launch to the title bar to make more room on the menu bar, especially for cases where a user has installed add-ins that add their own top-level menus.
As with most style changes, there has been both positive and negative feedback. We realize that some of you will continue to dislike this change, and you've been very direct in expressing your opinions on this subject. Our view remains that this is the right design for the Visual Studio user interface for the reasons I mentioned above. That said, we will enable you to customize the casing, and we are exploring options for how to expose that choice. We will post again once we've settled on a final approach to be available in RTM.
Man, looks like you really believe users will like your ugly product just because you are paid too think so..
For your information: WORKING WITH VS 2012 IS NOT FUN AT ALL!!
colors, icons, menus, fonts - each by itself and all together make it a pain.
THE CAPS ARE AWFULLY DISTRACTING; BUT they can be switched off, which is sooooo cooool!!!
At least give people the option to turn off the upper case menu. Another option to turn off the monochrome color.
We don't like this.
The CAPS are truly awful - I just don't get it.
Is it just me or most of you who thinks that the Metro thing is ruining all Microsoft products?
i THINK YOU MIGHT MAKE A BOLDER STATEMENT BY INVERTING YOUR CAPS. mAKE THE FIRST LETTER LOWER CASE AND THE REST ALL CAPS.
iSN'T THAT REFRESHING?
iN FACT, MAYBE YOU COULD SAVE EVERYONE A TON OF SPACE BY STORING ONLY THE CAPITOL LETTERS IN A NEW TEXT ENCODING STRATEGY. wE ALL NEED YET ANOTHER FILE ENCODING TO WORRY ABOUT, AND I THINK mICROSOFT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD THE INDUSTRY HERE. iMAGINE THE SAVINGS IN LABOR AND SPACE IN FONTSETS ALONE! lEAVE THE LOWER LETTERS TO THE ImAC CROWD.
It is really ugly. Have you guys attended UI design training class? .NET 4.5 is great but VS 2012 UI is as ugly as new Windows 8's. Please rollback to VS2010.
Because of the capitals, the menu (with a lot of extensions installed) rolls over on two lines. This gives me one less line to focus on the code.
Because of the capitals, you had to add extra spacing between the menu-items to make the menu clear, that also does not really help in making the menu stay on one single line.
Maybe you could add some color to the menu- and toolbars to add some structure. Adding some color would could make some icons stand out more. This would allow me to spend some more time in the code and less searching for the gray icon I need to click on.
I can't believe I missed this post the first time around and I'm only finding it now. JUST CHIMING IN THAT I AGREE THAT ALL CAPS IS EXTRAORDINARILY ANNOYING NO MATTER WHERE IT IS FOUND, WHETHER ON THE WEB, IN VISUAL STUDIO, IN WINDOWS 8, OR ELSEWHERE. IT IS A BAD DESIGN. PERIOD. EXCLAMATION POINT. MICROSOFT NEEDS TO GET AWAY FROM IT.
"On the second point, we explored designs with and without uppercase styling. In the end we determined it to be a very effective way of providing structure and emphasis to the top menu area in Visual Studio 2012."
Is it really necessary to emphasize the menu area? really?, as a developer I don't want to emphasize it, I don't even use it in many sessions, because I use shortcuts, and as Gary Cooper points out in his book "About face", it's not absolutely necessary to follow ideas based on other programs only to make them uniform, at the end truth wins.
Why is it that so many otherwise fine developers & designers exhibit the height of arrogance when making UI changes? This problem isn't restricted to MS, but is on display in most companies and institutions. MS does have its fair share.
This is another example of MS arrogance: arbitrary changes that serve no real purpose for the vast majority of users, imposed on us with little choice. Even if many of the ALL CAPS changes are optional at first, past experience tells us that this won't last. Rather than provide a friendly, customizable interface, we'll end up with a klunky, MS-imposed interface.
Here's news for you: people hate this sort of arrogant imposition. If you keep this up, people will flee MS products. In case you haven't noticed, MS's monopoly is breaking apart. In the future, you'll have to win customers the old-fashioned way: good customer service. Hint: this isn't it.
Pride really does go before a fall. Wake up before it's too late.
I have tried the ALL CAPS menu for several months. I have to say... IT SUCKS and I've finally turned it off. Good thing there is a registry setting to overcome this silly UI decision. I am glad VS IDE is getting more and more like Eclipse with every release. It makes it much easier to work in multiple environments.
Yes, you do need some added structure to the top area, and you know why? Because you blended the title bar with the rest of the program.
What an ugly release. Honestly. Metro-style is nice... for the Metro mode. On the desktop, this is exceptionally ugly. Exceptionally. Ugly. As far as I'm concerned, you guys have failed at designing pleasing visuals. Utterly so.
So you tuned it? Tune it back! Also icons and look and feel to Visual Studio 2010. It looks as even awful as Windows 8 Metro-stuff!! Boahhh!

SDII (Sound
Designer II, sometimes seen abbreviated as SD2) is a monophonic/stereophonic
audio file format, originally developed by Digidesign for their Macintosh-based
recording/editing products. It is the successor to the original monophonic Sound
Designer I audio file format.
An SDII file can be monophonic or stereophonic. When stereo is used, the
tracks are interleaved (sample-001-left, sample-001-right, sample-002-left,
sample-002-right, etc.) Files also store sample rate and bit depth information.
The SDII file has become a widely accepted standard for transferring audio
files between editing applications. Most Mac CD-ROM writer software, for example,
specifies SDII or Audio Interchange File Format as the file format needed when
making audio CDs.
The SDII file has also become accepted among personal computer audio application
developers. This makes transferring audio from Mac to PC platforms much easier.
When used on a PC, the file must use the extension of ".sd2".
To convert SD2 files to other audio formats, please make sure Apple QuickTime
is installed.
Short for Audio
Interchange File Format, a common format for storing and transmitting sampled
sound. The format was developed by Apple Computer and is the standard audio
format for Macintosh computers. It is
also used by Silicon Graphics Incorporated
The AIFF format is uncompressed so AIFF files tend to be large. However,
there is another format called AIFF-Compressed (AIFF-C or AIFC) that supports
compression ratios as high as 6:1.
AIFF files generally end with an .AIF or .IEF extension.
AIFC files generally end with an .AIFC extension.
AIFF and AIFC are standard audio format used on MacOS systems. AIFF is not
compressed. AIFC is compressed.
To encode AIF audio, please make sure Apple QuickTime is

Austin, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Cameron Ridley registered a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Texas Longhorns easily dismissed the Texas State Bobcats, 85-53, in non-conference action at the Frank Erwin Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Longhorns (9-1) was Isaiah Taylor with 15 points, to go along with eight assists, followed by Javan Felix and Jonathan Holmes with 13 and 11 points, respectively, as they won their fifth straight outing.
The Bobcats (3-7), losers of two of the last three, were led by Joel Wright with a double-double of his own consisting of 19 points and 13 boards, but he was also guilty of six assists and failed to get much offensive support from teammates.
Texas made a total of just 10 field goals in the first half, but the team managed to put up a 33-22 advantage at the break by outscoring the visitors at the free-throw line, 10-1.
In the second half the Bobcats slumped to a mere 28.6 percent accuracy from the floor overall, including 2-of-16 beyond the arc, making it that much easier for the 'Horns to come away with the lopsided home victory.
Texas State finished the night shooting just 29.7 percent from the floor and had almost as many turnovers (17) as made field goals (19).
The last time the Bobcats came out on top against Texas was way back in 1937, with the 25-game series win streak for the Longhorns representing the longest run for the program against any current opponent.
