Flat card holder, natural tanned calf leather lined 2 compartments for cards Snap button closure
Made in France
Double tanned calf
Dark Honey
3.9 x 2.7 inch
10 x 6,5 cm
Double tanned calf is a smooth full grain aniline leather. It contains a special wax finish which nourishes the leather for its lifetime. Aniline leather is the most natural looking leather as it has not been protected by a surface coating of polymer and pigments. It gives your item a unique aspect and touch.
Stains, scratches and patina belong to the normal ageing process of your item. Differences in tone, shading, gradation, and the possible alterations of the material are to be regarded as a sign of quality.
When your item is new or after storing it, the wax may release itself causing a slightly white shade. The released wax may contain some of the dye contained in the leather, this can possibly stain your light garments. Gently rub the surface with a dry soft cotton cloth to remove and re-insert the wax. Overtime, using a colorless special cream for leather can help clean and moisturize your item.

The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
FILO is a bootloader which loads boot images from a local filesystem, without help from legacy BIOS services.
Expected usage is to flash it into the BIOS ROM together with coreboot.
Download FILO
Download the latest version of FILO from Git with
$ git clone http://review.coreboot.org/p/filo.git
You can also browse the source code online at http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=filo.git
- Supported boot devices: IDE hard disk, SATA hard disk, CD-ROM, USB Mass Storage, and system memory (ROM)
- Supported filesystems: ext2, fat, jfs, minix, reiserfs, xfs, and iso9660
- Supported image formats: ELF and [b]zImage (a.k.a. /vmlinuz)
- Supports boot disk image of El Torito bootable CD-ROM. "hdc1" means the boot disk image of the CD-ROM at hdc.
- Supports loading image from raw device with user-specified offset
- Console on VGA + keyboard, serial port, or both
- Line editing with ^H, ^W and ^U keys to type arbitrary filename to boot
- Full support for the ELF Boot Proposal (where is it btw, Eric)
- Auxiliary tool to compute checksum of ELF boot images
- Full 32-bit code, no BIOS calls
- uses libpayload
Only the x86 (x64) architecture is currently supported. Some efforts have been made to get FILO running on PPC. Contact the coreboot mailinglist for more information.
Recent version of GNU toolchain is required to build.
We have tested with Debian/woody (gcc 2.95.4, binutils 126.96.36.199.1, make 3.79.1), Debian/sid (gcc 3.3.2, binutils 188.8.131.52.6, make 3.80) and different versions of SUSE Linux from 9.0 to 11.0.
FILO will use the coreboot crossgcc if you have it built and it can be found.
FILO uses coreboot's libpayload. It is easiest to locate and build FILO in the coreboot/payloads directory.
Building on 64-bit OS specifics
If you will be building FILO on AMD64 platform for Debian install the gcc-multilib package.
x64/AMD64 machines work fine when compiling FILO in 32-bit mode. (coreboot uses 32-bit mode and Linux kernel does the transition to 64-bit mode)
Before you can build FILO, you have to build libpayload. If your filo directory is located inside the coreboot/payloads directory, you don't have to do anything special. If for some reason you want to compile FILO of the coreboot/payloads directory, you will need to tell the makefile where libpayload is. Open filo/Makefile in your favorite text editor and change this line
export LIBCONFIG_PATH := $(src)/../libpayload
to match the location of the libpayload directory on your system:
export LIBCONFIG_PATH := /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/PATH_TO_COREBOOT/payloads/libpayload
Configure FILO (and libpayload) using the Kconfig interface:
$ make menuconfig
This will run menuconfig twice -- the first time for libpayload, the second time for FILO.
Then running make will build filo.elf, the ELF boot image of FILO.
$ make
If you are compiling on an AMD64 platform and compiler complains, instead of "make" you need to write
$ make CC="gcc -m32" LD="ld -b elf32-i386" HOSTCC="gcc" AS="as --32"
Use build/filo.elf as your payload of coreboot, or a boot image for Etherboot.
Alternatively, you can build libpayload and FILO in one go using the build.sh script, with the drawback that you'll get the default options for both of them:
$ ./build.sh
Here is the short listing how to build FILO from git
cd coreboot/payloads git clone http://review.coreboot.org/p/filo.git cd filo make config make
- This software was originally developed by SONE Takeshi <email@example.com>
- It has been significantly enhanced and is now maintained by Stefan Reinauer.
- It uses libpayload from Uwe Hermann and Jordan Crouse
If you experience trouble compiling or using FILO, please report with a build log or detailed error description to the coreboot mailing list.
CD-ROM Booting
To boot a CD-ROM or DVD you only need to specify the drive without a partition number. For example to boot to the primary drive on the secondary IDE channel you would use hdc and not hdc1 in FILO.
Grub-like Interface
If you are using FILO with CONFIG_USE_GRUB, and want to boot to your Linux install disk you have to do a mixture of GRUB and FILO commands.
Like GRUB you have to append a kernel (and parameters), then an initrd, and give a boot command. Like FILO you have to give absolute paths.
Example to boot to a GeeXboX install CD-ROM:
filo> kernel hdc:/GEEXBOX/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw init=linuxrc boot=cdrom installator
Press <ENTER>
filo> initrd hdc:/GEEXBOX/boot/initrd.gz
Press <ENTER>
filo> boot
Press <ENTER>
Your system will now boot right into the Linux install.
NVRAM Parsing
FILO parses the following NVRAM variables:
- 'boot_devices' can contain a list of boot devices seperated by semicolons. FILO will try to load filo.lst / menu.lst from any of these devices.
Example how to set:
nvramtool -w "boot_devices=hda1:/boot/filo;hdc:"
To be able to contribute you will need a Gerrit account. See Git on how to get one and how to push new code to the repository. The instructions there are valid also for FILO, just change coreboot to filo in directory names etc. (not hostnames).

Pennsylvania Experts Discover Fast Body Fat Reduction with This Amazing Cambogia Extract (HCA) without Heavy Exercise
Are you looking to lose weight in NewBrighton PA? Are you ready to hear about an active compound called Hydroxycitric Acid, (HCA)? If you are thinking that this sounds like some dangerous chemical then don't! It is an all natural weight-reduction extract taken from a small fruit that looks very much like a small pumpkin, called Garcinia Cambogia, found in the region of Southeast Asia.Don't worry the big weight-reduction stir and excitement about its ability to absorb fat and stop weight gain isn't all hype. Its ability to lose body weight has actually been clinically proven. Its weight-reduction success is based on its production of Hydroxycitric Acid which in turn has the ability to assist in the blocking of extra weight while at the same time reducing your hunger. These two qualities work in harmony with each other, and you can expect to no longer being dealing with constant weight gain caused by fat absorption.
This top notch weight-reduction Brand contains 50% Hydroxycitric Acid, which is the highest percentage available on the open market. This amazing weight-reduction ingredient is the latest breakthrough in assisting with extra weight naturally.
Researchers are looking at how HCA could help you lose body weight by stopping your body from releasing glucose which when left unattended to can be one of the culprits of extra weight production.
It is suspected that HCA has the ability to slow down those cravings for food, which in turn means you are going to lose body weight and experience fewer hunger pangs, so you will probably think about food less often which means more weight-reduction with less consumption.
Scientists are now thinking that this natural weight-reduction ingredient has the ability to power up your energy levels simply by the reduction of extra weight. So your body has to rely on its stored extra weight which means it is now going to get used instead of sitting dormant and making you look over-weight.
As if weight-reduction and the prevention of extra weight isn't enough, there are indications that those who study potential weight-reduction resources believe that the HCA has the ability to increase Serotonin levels, which when this happens create a feeling of well-being.
Pure Garcinia Select Extract (HCA) -
Contains no cheap fillers, or low quality artificial ingredients.
Contains 50% HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid)
Hydroxycitric Acid is the main ingredient required for weight-reduction.
Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract 800mg
This is 2x the dosage of most cheap weight-reduction products.
Produced in an FDA Registered Facility
Product produced in a cGMP certified, FDA registered laboratory.

At approximately 1:15 p.m. on Feb. 1, a man later identified as Ecevit Sanli, 40, stopped outside a personnel entrance of the U.S. embassy in Ankara and detonated a belt carrying 13 lb. (6 kg) of explosives, as well as a hand grenade, killing one Turkish security guard, wounding several others and blowing himself in pieces.
Amid the confusion that reigned over the ensuing few hours, Turkish news and social-media sites buzzed with the names of possible culprits. By late afternoon, the list that emerged began to read like a register of every conflict in which Turkey — NATO member, E.U. hopeful and rising regional power — has played a part over the past decade.
First came the usual suspects. There was al-Qaeda, which has already been blamed for a series of deadly terrorist attacks in Istanbul in 2003. Then came the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which has waged war against Turkey for almost three decades and whose imprisoned leader recently agreed to talks with the government. Then there was Syria, which has turned from best friend to ultimate foe since the beginning of the armed insurgency to unseat President Bashar Assad and which has been suspected, at least by the Turks, of having a hand in a deadly bombing in Gaziantep, a Turkish city, in August. There was Iran, which has warned Turkey that its belligerence toward Assad — and particularly the recent deployment of NATO Patriot missile batteries along the country's border with Syria — may soon usher in another world war. The list closed with ultra-nationalists, rogue intelligence operatives and homegrown Islamic extremists.
(MORE: Missing NYC Woman Found Dead in Turkey, Report Says)
By the end of the day, however, it had become clear that the group that appeared most likely to have been behind Friday's bombing was a Marxist organization: the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C). High-ranking Turkish officials, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, declared that Sanli, the suicide bomber, was a member of the group. He had been incarcerated between 1997 and 2002 on terrorism charges.
In a lengthy, rambling statement posted online on Saturday, the DHKP-C claimed responsibility for the embassy attack, called the U.S. "the murderer of the people of the world" and warned the Obama Administration to "get your bases, your missiles and your Patriots the hell out of our country." It added: "It is the Syrian people who will decide how, and by whom, Syria will be governed. The AKP government is a lackey to imperialists who seek to overthrow al-Assad, who refuses to bow his neck to them … We condemn the use our land for the imperialists' interests against Syria."
The Patriots referred to by the statement are the interceptor missiles deployed recently along Turkey's border with Syria. A total of six batteries — two each sent by Germany, the Netherlands and the U.S. — have been stationed in Turkey to protect against a possible Syrian missile attack.
But did Syria put the DHKP-C up to bombing? Or was the group acting on its own? The bombing also comes on the heels of a massive police crackdown against the DHKP-C. Since the beginning of January, 85 of the group's members have been detained. Just over a week ago, 55 of them were charged with membership in a terrorist organization. According to police sources quoted by Turkish newspapers, the group had been planning to assassinate state officials and attack foreign embassies. Friday's suicide bombing, observers point out, came amid an uptick in DHKP-C violence. Over the past two years, the group has attacked a number of police targets, particularly in Istanbul. Last Sept. 11, in an attack that bore many similarities to the one carried out on Friday, a DHKP-C suicide bomber detonated himself inside a police station in Istanbul, killing one police officer.
That the group should decide to step up its violent campaign just as tensions between Turkey and Syria begin to reach new heights is no coincidence, says Nihat Ali Ozcan, a Turkish terrorism expert and retired army officer. During the Cold War, he says, "Syria provided a lot of facilities to this group, including camps, ammunition, etc. They had a really close relationship with Syrian intelligence." Now that Syria and Turkey are engaged in what Ozcan calls a "war by proxy," the DHKP-C has again reared its head. "Their activity is increasing because of the Syrian crisis."
(MORE: Leftist Militants Claim U.S. Embassy Attack)
Henri Barkey, a former State Department official who teaches at Lehigh University, acknowledges that the group might be sympathetic to Assad but sees no direct Syrian involvement in the attack. "I don't believe that the Syrians could get these guys to do something for them. These guys will do things because they want to. They're like a cult. If one of the leaders decides they should go on hunger strike, they go on hunger strike and they die." (This is precisely what happened in 2000, when 60 DHKP-C inmates died during a protest against prison conditions.) Besides, says Barkey, "the Syrians would not want something like this." To launch such a small-scale, symbolic attack against an American embassy, given the stakes involved, he believes, makes no sense. "Just for that you're going to risk the wrath of America? Uh-uh."
Barkey, who spoke to TIME before the DHKP-C released its statement, predicted that the group would say it was provoked by the deployment of the interceptor missiles. "They will link it to the Patriots," he says, "because that's the way to justify something stupid like this. They want to look like they're heroes, standing up and resisting."
The DHKP-C, which has its roots in a number of radical leftist organizations that date back to the 1970s, has a markedly anti-Western agenda and makes a point of accusing successive Turkish governments of being American and NATO stooges. It has also been designated a terrorist group by the U.S., the E.U. and Turkey. Together with one of its predecessors, the Dev Sol, or Revolutionary Left, the DHKP-C is believed to be responsible for killing two retired generals, a former government minister and a top Turkish businessman. In the spring of 1991 — to protest the American role in the Gulf War — the group allegedly killed two U.S. military contractors and wounded an Air Force officer. In subsequent years, it would attempt to launch rocket attacks against a U.S. air base in southern Turkey and the American consulate in Istanbul. The continued threat, says Barkey, was one of the reasons why the consulate eventually moved to another part of the city.

12-13-21 COVID-19 Health Update to Families and Staff (Maple West)
December 13, 2021
Dear Williamsville Central School District Families and Staff,
The Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) notified the District on Monday, December 13, 2021 of a positive case of COVID-19 at Maple West Elementary School. This individual was last in the building on December 10, 2021.
This serves as an informational notice to our school community and does NOT mean that you or your child have been exposed to or have come in close or proximate contact with the COVID-19 positive individual.
While we cannot release information regarding this individual due to Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA), it is important to note that this person is in isolation, and the ECDOH is conducting contact tracing to identify all individuals who may have been in close or proximate contact with the COVID-19 positive individual. The ECDOH will directly communicate with any individual who is identified as a close or proximate contact to the positive COVID-19 individual so that further health and safety measures can be taken. If you are not directly contacted by the ECDOH, the Department has indicated no subsequent action is required by you or your child(ren) at this time as it pertains to this positive case.
The District will continue to work with the ECDOH to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and school community.
For signs and symptoms of COVID-19, along with health and safety preventative measures to help slow the spread of the disease, please refer to our COVID-19 Education page on our website here: COVID-19 Education.
The District will continue to follow health and cleaning protocol consistent with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
Please contact your child's school nurse, your own healthcare provider, or visit the ECDOH at https://www2.erie.gov/health/index.php?q=coronavirus should you have any questions about this notice or COVID-19.
As a reminder, please also be sure to complete the daily COVID-19 Health Screening Questionnaire that is available on WITS to help keep our school community as healthy and safe as possible. Thank you for assisting us with this very important health and safety measure.
Dr. Darren J. Brown-Hall
Superintendent of Schools

I took a hiatus from Treeleaf for a while and during that time the book club and its study of koans moved on without me. Ah, I came back and have been trying to catch up. Back when I left the koan chapters moved slowly, a lazy river of zen contemplation, but now Jundo is cranking them out once a week or so, a damn Zen white water rapids. Anyway, I got stuck on a rock and he closes off those discussions stranding folks like me on lonely boulders, so I am here to throw out a line (ok, actually a couple lines) to any passing stranger on the Zen path alongside those rapids.
A man of no rank (#38) seems to me a lot like the precept about humility. If I am equal to you (whoever you are), then our rank is equal, and since I am equal to all then I (nor you) have any rank. True? I watched the dharma talk and when you asked for questions I raised my hand, violently. Hey Jundo, apparently your Zen mastery could not see me. What kind of rank is that?
Also, I have been trying to catch up to the current koan, but I like to read one and think about it a while, write about it a bit in my own journal after reading others' thoughts, and then proceed when I am ready. I know I could just skip ahead, but I want to do them in order, and then it hit me that maybe by doing them in order I was trying to "rank" them as accomplishments, which that koan says to drop. The need to finish a koan seems like its own koan, I know, and same with they must be done in order. I guess it's just another example of delusions we unknowingly carry around with us (37, 38, 39, 40 ). Anyway, being a solutions oriented guy, I just flagged the ones I have missed and will try to get back to them when I can.
Rafting along on a rapidly moving boulder, I gassho to you all

I'm guessing that cake was made for a school faculty with at least one pregnant person and one retiree. The "Summer Vacation" part was thrown in so the rest of the staff didn't feel left out. And since it's for teachers, they couldn't afford to buy 3 separate cakes!

Yeah, there's not much one can say about this one. It's just out there, somewhere, in a world that we do not inhabit. - March 11, 2010 at 10:59 AM

I'm just thinking of the poor person having a baby in their retirement years (Surprise! No peace and quiet for you!)
- March 11, 2010 at 11:06 AM
I think it's for a "Grandma gone wild". She retired in the summer, went to Cabo on her very first vacation, and perhaps drank a little too much tequila, annnnddd menopause baby is born!

As if the color scheme isn't enough...that IS a busy time in ones life. I can't remember anyone ever getting the joy of giving birth on summer vacation just after cashing in on retirement. Go them! Oh decorators....really?
- March 11, 2010 at 11:12 AM
Isn't retirement a vacation, which would make those two phrases redundant. As for the new baby thing...I'm not sure where that fits in...
- March 11, 2010 at 11:24 AM
I like the idea of a multiple-choice cake. I should get one for my aunt and uncle sometime - they like sending out multiple-choice quizes as their annual Christmas letter.
- March 11, 2010 at 11:39 AM
I love all the theories here. and some grandmas ARE a little on the young side...the ones that were wild in their youth...
"40-year-old virgin" comes to mind....(Trish, the hot grandma)
what else can they do:
Happy Birthday, communion, new puppy?
Welcome Home, Happy Anniversary, Congratulations on the new baby/job
etc. etc. - March 11, 2010 at 11:43 AM
@ Taylor - How about this. After many childless years, the couple adopted/had a new baby. So mom is retiring from the workforce to raise the little one ... on a boat.
Or maybe this was a sample cake to give clueless customers reasons to buy a cake other than for a birthday. Or ... no clue.
Tricia - March 11, 2010 at 11:43 AM
I kinda have to question why 'summer vacation' comes AFTER 'retirement'. Surely the whole point of retirement is that every day is a summer vacation?

Well, buying three cakes...who could have eaten that many.
And still, the downward slope tells us the decorate was depressed she/he couldn't seal the three cake deal. - March 11, 2010 at 11:51 AM
I'm going with "circle the appropriate occasion."

- Tiffany in Topeka said...
@Qatie - oooh multiple choice quiz on the Christmas card insert.... at least then it would be interesting/entertaining to read. I think I might have to try that! LOL
Do you think the color scheme was inspired by a package of highlighters??
Being a teacher, I have to vote for the end of the school year teacher party. It seems most probable - even if the other ideas are funnier. :) - March 11, 2010 at 12:38 PM

Maybe they just dont feel like buying her multiple cakes through her life time so they just put them all together.

Due to recent budget cutbacks the office could only afford one cake, therefore forced to celebrate all staff accomplishments in one cake... Obivously :-)

I tried to come up with an explanation for this..
but I failed.
There are no words.
Maybe they were trying to save money and have a baby shower/retirement party/summer vacation celebration (??) all at once? Is the person retiring also having a baby in time for summer vacation?
We'll never know... - March 11, 2010 at 2:24 PM
I'd say this is a multi-purpose cake for a family. 1. Mom, who just had a baby 2. Dad (who married a woman 30 yrs his junior) is retiring And 3. Their school age child who is excited about summer vacation!

Whatever...and I MEAN what EV-ver!
I don't care WHAT they were trying to do!
There are only two things that I want to know:
ONE: Why bother putting a *fancy* scrolled border all around the edge, if you're only going to splather messy gel squiggles all over it...and
TWO: WHEN, inthenameofallthatisunholy, will they stop saying "NEW baby"??? Ever heard of an OLD one???

With the down economy and all, bakeries have to streamline their operations somehow... Welcome to the era of the "multiple choice" cake. Each one has three to five options pre-set on it, and the baker just circles or underlines the appropriate one prior to presenting it to the customer! It makes perfect business sense. No, really. HOnest. Would I lie to you? (blinkblink)... I think I need a nap now...

Hey, I got a great idea to increase sales, boss!
*sigh* What is it, Milo?
We just put out plain cakes, ice "Happy" and then put in three different slogans, like "vacation", "new baby" or "retirement"!" It doesn't matter what the occasion is, all the customers have to do is pick out one cake that has a slogan that fits, then scrape out the two slogans that don't fit! Clever, huh?
*heavy sigh* Go back to frosting cakes, Milo.
Sure, boss. - March 11, 2010 at 3:46 PM

A lot of these cakes I think of as revenge cakes -- sort of like when the kids in the apartment downstairs have been evicted, but they have 10 days left to party and make everyone else in the place miserable.
Mark my words, between the time this cake was made and the time the boss got to work and found it in the display cooler, the authoress of this cake was out the door and off to her new job at Starbucks, laughing like a loon. - March 11, 2010 at 6:48 PM

Wow. That kid's a genius. Just born and already ready to retire. I hope he has a great summer vacation.
- March 11, 2010 at 7:10 PM
It's obvious. Amber got pregnant so she had to retire from her porn career, but she's really calling it a "summer vacation."

- CaseyL said...
You know how the Post Office sells "forever stamps," which are good to go whenever you need them?
This is a "forever cake," to be kept in the freezer for as long as you need it, just chopping off the appropriate portions for each celebration as it happens.
Forever cake. Yeah: that's it. - March 11, 2010 at 8:48 PM
Man...the economy must be bad when a company can only afford one cake for the monthly celebrations.
- March 11, 2010 at 8:49 PM
I think a "baby retirement" is the summer vacation...but the color scheme is making me think like everyone else here. :(

Hey Sendingtheclowns! If any Hallmark scouts are lurking on this site, you just gave them a great idea for a whole new line: Cards from procrastinators. Right now, we've only got "Happy Belated Birthday." We could select "Congratulations on the old baby." "Are you over your loss yet?" "Congratulations - at least you graduated from high school, even though college didn't quite work out" "We thought we would miss you, but honestly, we haven't thought about you much at all since you left." You get the idea. I'm sure this will be hot. And if somebody actually does this from my idea, can I at least have a coupon for a free card (no expiration date, please)?

The meaning of life all wrapped into one cake!
I really wonder what the person actually ordered. Or what the meaning behind it all is!
Who knew cakes could spark such deep thoughts? - March 12, 2010 at 1:53 AM
I guess someone just wanted to be sure that no one was left out on this "special" cake. I guess the person having a baby is also retiring and going on a vacation at the same time. Wow that's one way to cover all the bases but they forgot to add a wedding and a funeral to that as well.. lol.
- March 12, 2010 at 2:35 AM
I have often wondered when the decorator is getting ready to do their thing WHY do they not CALL the person that ordered the cake and ask them????

Funny thing is, that could be my cake for my work shower- I am an accountant, my baby is due in May (almost summer, and my daughter's summer break starts soon after he's born), and I'll be staying home with him (my boss congratulated me on my semi-retirement, even if I can't collect on it). =)

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise.
Hebrew 10:36
In our world of instant gratification where microwave ovens enable us to put food on the table in mere minutes, and stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we don't have to wait for much. When we want something, we no longer weigh the benefits against the cost and save our money until we can make the purchase. Charge cards let us get whatever we want, whenever we want it with little consideration to how we'll pay for it later.
The internet has given us many benefits (for example, we can read my blog :D). Kids no longer have to go to the library and use the card catalog to locate books and gather information for school reports. They can log on, and with a few quick clicks, have a wealth of information pertaining to their subject right at their fingertips. We don't have to wait until a favorite show comes on t.v. With hundreds of channels and innovations like TiVo, we can pretty much view whatever we want at any given time.
We get mad if it takes too long for our nail polish to dry or if the person in front of us at the drive-through places a large order making us wait another whole minute for our food. We get impatient when we're in a hurry and our kids insist we stop and look at every bug, flower, and piece of garbage they see on the sidewalk.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that all these conveniences are bad. But, I believe, they do come with a price. I want my children to grow up to be patient individuals. I want them to know what it's like to work hard and save up for a car. I want them to be able to wait and weigh the pros and cons of a decision instead of jumping right in. I think the best way to teach this is to model it myself. Boy, do I have my work cut out for me!
OK enough of that lest I be accused of being :::gasp::: serious!
On a completely unrelated note, this is what I found in the shower this morning.
In case you can't tell - that's a bar of soap with a set of teeth marks in it. Mmmmm, nothing like a little Lever 2000 to start your day. "Lever 2000, for all your 2000 parts, including your stomach, small intestines, colon....."

Classic Reviews - 2011 Infiniti FX35
Driving through beautiful Bonaventure cemetery in Savannah, Georgia seems eerily appropriate at this moment. I am piloting a 2011 Infiniti FX35 from AutoTrader.com's long term test fleet and I am on a mission.
Now you may ask "why on earth is the Editor of AutoTrader Classics driving an almost new car?" From the moment I laid eyes on the FX35 I knew I had to write this review. Not only did I have to write this review, but I also had to honor the dead, which in this case is the long deceased AMC Eagle SX/4.
I can hear your question already: "What on earth is an AMC Eagle SX/4?" Picking through the history of American automobile manufacturers is not unlike driving through Bonaventure cemetery. Grandiose monuments proclaim an entire family's existence, while simple headstones mark the life of a single member. The SX/4 is just such a headstone in the history of American Motors Corporation. Its short life though was a sign of what the future could hold.
Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s AMC was struggling to find its way. Most of its product line was based on an aging platform that went back well over a decade. With sales lagging and a takeover by Renault looming in the wings, AMC fired a Hail Mary into their product line with the SX/4. AMC was no stranger to non-standard designs, as they had already created the Pacer and Gremlin. In 1980 they married the Quadra-Trac 4WD driveline from Jeep to the Concord body, thus launching the Eagle product line. Going one step further AMC pulled the same trick in 1981 using the sporty Spirit 2-door body, bringing us the SX/4, their self proclaimed "sports car that doesn't always need a road." But what exactly did that mean? Was it a road hugging sports car or a trail conquering off road vehicle? How can it be both?
And that is where we are now. Just what is the FX35? Is it a sports car? Is it a SUV? Is it a crossover? The answer is no to all over the above. It is far easier to describe what the FX35 is not rather than was it truly is. It sits far too high to be a sports sedan. It has too many doors to be a sports car. It handles too well to be a wallowing SUV. Crossover seems to be the closest comparison, but thanks to the underlying rear wheel drive 370Z platform it sheds the "family car on steroids" feel of most sedan based crossovers. No, the FX35 is in a world all its own, and it is a fun world to visit.
Stepping into the FX35 you get the feel of being in a sports car…only two feet off the ground rather than two inches. The seating position is more upright, but the cabin is placed further back giving you a "laid back" sports car feel. The long hood evokes a classic touring car feel. This is not a small vehicle, measuring in at almost 16 feet long, over six feet wide, and five and a half feet tall. But it doesn't feel like a lumbering SUV, not by a long shot. When driving the FX35 it is recommended to have all items secured before leaving the driveway. It really does turn far sharper and more precisely than it has business doing. Even routine navigation through neighborhoods is a touch more entertaining without ever breaking the speed limits. Flicking the steering wheel brings immediate direction changes without a hint of body roll. That kind of handling sent my backpack skittering around the rear cargo area like an air hockey puck.
The FX35 is obviously directed towards handling with a nod at off road ability (if equipped with AWD). The SX/4 was almost the polar opposite thanks to its Jeep derived driveline. Handling was never really mentioned in the same sentence as the SX/4, but it was campaigned with mixed success in the SCCA ProRally series. The FX35 is sprung much stiffer than any other similar vehicle. Driving the historic cobble stone ramps leading to Savannah's River Street rendered my morning coffee into a caffeinated milkshake. A later romp down a long, rain soaked and rut filled pea gravel driveway reaffirmed that off tarmac excursions were meant to be merely tolerated by the FX35 rather than enjoyed. Getting back to the paved world it was time to visit Hutchinson Island and its little known public race course. While technically a public road (Grand Prize of America Avenue) this short two mile course demonstrated just how much time Nissan's engineers had spent to make this a capable on-road machine.
You really cannot compare the SX/4 and the FX35 on a performance level, but from an overall design concept point of view things become a bit clearer. What AMC tried and now Infiniti has done is create a vehicle that allows the owner to experience more than one automotive world with a single vehicle. Usually these kinds of attempts fail miserably, which was the case for the SX/4. The FX35 has managed to not only accomplish, but to grow and evolve. There are now four version of the FX to choose from including a 400+ horsepower V8 model. Infiniti has succeeded in fulfilling a promise made to the automotive world over three decades ago, and for that I am grateful.

Nine students have been named winners of the 2012 Spirit of Princeton Award, which honors undergraduates at Princeton University for their positive contributions to campus life. The award recognizes students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to the undergraduate experience through dedicated efforts with student organizations, athletics, community service, religious life, residential life and the arts.
This year's winners were selected from a group of more than 80 nominations and were honored with a book prize at a dinner earlier this month. The award, which has been given annually since 1995, is sponsored by the University's Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students.
Here is information about the 2012 winners:
Lydia Arias, a senior from Atlanta, is majoring in Spanish and Portuguese languages and cultures. During the past four years, she has been a member of the varsity track and field team, where she has been a successful competitor in the pole vault. For the past two years, she has been a learning consultant at the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning. She played a pivotal role in the redesign of the center's Learning Consultation Program and also helped foster a greater partnership between the McGraw Center and the Department of Athletics. Within Butler College, she is a two-year residential college adviser and has served as a peer adviser. She also has been active in student organizations as a member of Aquinas Catholic Chaplaincy, Princeton Faith in Action and the Cuban American Student Association. Upon graduation, she will work at Bain Consulting in Atlanta.
Omar Carrillo, a senior from Los Angeles, is majoring in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and earning certificates in American studies and urban studies. Committed to community service, he has been involved with the English as a Second Language El Centro program for four years through the Student Volunteers Council. Through the Pace Center for Civic Engagement, he served as an education intern during the summer of 2010, developing implementation modules for college awareness curriculum sequences at two high schools in Brooklyn, N.Y. Building upon that particular experience, he helped lead the Pace Center's Breakout trip to those high schools the following year. On campus, he has been involved with the student newspaper, The Daily Princetonian, where he participated as an associate editor for news and as a senior writer. He was one of the founding members of the DREAM Team, which seeks to raise awareness about the aspirations of undocumented students, following his time as an intern at the University of California-Los Angeles Center for Labor Research and Education in the summer of 2009. He also coordinated the Latinos Unidos for Networking and Advising program through the Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding and served on the student advisory board of the Program in American Studies. At Forbes College, he has been a residential college adviser.
Christina Chang, a senior from Austin, Texas, is majoring in chemistry while pursuing certificates in applications of computing, engineering biology, and materials science and engineering. Over the last four years, she has helped share her passion for science and engineering with others in the community and on campus. She helped establish the Community House After School Academy and has been a mainstay of the Chemistry Outreach Club. Chang also founded the Women in Science Colloquium, serving as its initial president, and she helped form the Princeton University Chemistry Society. Beyond her contributions to the science community, she has been an Orange Key tour guide, a Princeton Preview captain and an executive board officer of Community House. Having contributed to Princeton research laboratories in areas ranging from bioinformatics to inorganic chemistry, she has been awarded the Gladys Anderson Emerson Scholarship by Iota Sigma Pi and the 2011 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. As a recipient of the 2012 Marshall Scholarship, she will spend two years in England studying for a master's degree in sustainable energy futures at Imperial College London, followed by a master's degree in inorganic chemistry at the University of Cambridge.
Benjamin Cogan, a senior from New York City, is majoring in philosophy and pursuing certificates in Judaic studies and values and public life. A student leader devoted to advancing the discussion of ethics-related issues, he has served as president of the Human Values Forum, a group that brings together faculty members and students through a weekly dinner series. He cofounded Princeton Giving What We Can, an organization committed to promoting effective global poverty philanthropy, for which he organized a fellowship, brought several speakers to campus and led a student pledge drive. Cogan also is a member of the College Democrats and served as editor-in-chief of the student magazine American Foreign Policy. He also developed international simulations for Princeton Model United Nations and served as a peer representative for students accused of Honor Code violations. A contributor to campus religious life, he is a student leader of Zamru, an interactive Jewish service featuring a mix of undergraduates and community members; has served as co-chair of Kesher, the Reform Jewish student group; and sings in Koleinu, Princeton's Jewish a cappella group.

No support is exactly what the Dodgers have given young Nate Eovaldi this year — in his three starts filling in for Ted Lilly, the Dodgers have scored a grand total of three runs. That works out to...oh...let's see...carry the one...ONE RUN PER GAME. Let's get this kid some runs!

Potato Soup - Blue Monday
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...It's difficult to glamorize potatoes. It's much easier to sing their praises. The nutritionally dense potato is a near perfect food. Conquistadors, returning from Peru, brought the potato to Europe, where it's value as a food crop was quickly recognized. It was less expensive to grow than grain or legumes and it was much easier to store. The potato spread as rapidly through the new world as it had through Europe. According to the USDA "a diet of whole milk and potatoes would supply almost all of the food elements necessary for the maintenance of the human body." Prior to the potato famine, a single acre of potatoes and the milk of one cow was enough to feed a large Irish family, a boring, but nutritionally adequate diet. Today's soup is a perfect example of what can be done with the inexpensive potato. For the next several days we will be experiencing unseasonably cold weather in the Pacific Northwest. To my mind, there is no better way to fight the chill than a bowl of steaming soup. This is one of those recipes that I throw into my "of cabbages and kings" category. At it's heart, this is great peasant fare, but with a bit of tweaking it becomes a vichyssoise worthy of a Bourbon prince. I have a 10# bag of russet potatoes in my pantry. I paid $1.29 for that bounty. I use approximately 1-1/2 pounds of potatoes in this recipe. Salt, pepper, some onions or leeks and a bit of butter and heavy cream complete the ingredient list for this soup. I can make a nice lunch or light supper for six people for under three dollars. You can't go wrong, unless you hate potatoes. Anything you fancy can be added to the soup base. Think along the lines of bacon and cheddar cheese and you can see where this simple recipe might take you. Here's the base for an absolutely delicious soup.
Potato Soup...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
1-1/2 pounds (about 3 cups) thinly sliced leeks, onions or a combination thereof
1-1/2 pounds (about 4 cups) thinly sliced potatoes
2 quarts water
1 scant tablespoon Kosher salt (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup heavy cream, half-and-half or whole milk
3 tablespoons minced chives or parsley
1) Heat butter or oil in a 4 to 5-quart saucepan until hot. Add onions and simmer, until onions are soft, about 10 minutes.
2) Add potatoes, water and salt to pan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 40 to 50 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender. Mash vegetables with a fork or pass through a food mill. A blender will turn this to paste, so don't be tempted. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Add whatever else your heart desires and serve this screaming, steaming hot with crusty bread and a salad. Yield: 6 servings.
Cook's note:
1) If you want to make vichyssoise, pass the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and chill. You will need to adjust salt before serving.
2) While there is no other seasoning used in this soup, some find it has too much salt. If you are watching your salt intake, add salt, a teaspoon at a time, to taste. I will continue to use the amount specified in the recipe.

Beautiful potato soup. Mary, this is the true basis of our ancestors in Europe. Every European country made potato soup, one way or another. I don't think we, as Americans, realize how the potato sustained so many.

I grew up on potato soup. I think 'tis the Irish in me. I never got tired of it. Mom and I always used scallions,........but your recipe calling for leeks would be a nice twist in flavor. Hmmmm.

Mary, whoever plowed that beautiful drive would definitely love a bowl of your delicious potato soup. Your soup reminds me when I was young showing horse during late Fall & early winter in Aiken, SC. The concession stand was run by a sweet lady, Mrs. McMurtry, who made the best potato soup ~ always steaming hot. I sipped it like a hot cup of coco to stay warm while braving the outdoor elements.
Many thanks for the memory and this wounder soup recipe. - December 7, 2009 at 9:27 AM

This is amazing, Mary. Guess what I am making for lunch? Leek and potato soup...the recipe is in my low fat/low cholesterol cookbook.
It is about 5 below zero here again today so I thought it would be a great warmer-upper. Yesterday's soup was red lentle soup with a splash of heat. Yum!
I better stop eating so much, especially when I am stuck inside because of the cold and ice. But, what else are you going to do besides sew, knit, read a book, and EAT!? - December 7, 2009 at 11:06 AM

Hello Dear Mary
It's been a long break for me. Yes I had so much fun being with my dear friend, and having my 3 kids together was also very special.
We just received our first sprinkle of snow this morning. It's picture perfect. Looks like you have a little more than us, which is unusual for this time of year... for us that is.
Your soup looks very yummy, but I must say the blue plate just popped out!.
Happy Blue Monday Mary

The ratio of onions to potatoes here sounds heavenly.

Hello Mary,
Potato soup mmmmmmmmmmm I need that right now. It's so awful being sick.You really don't feel yourself. ANd with the cold days, you just want to curl up in bed and eat warm soup.
On a lighter note, I liked your Christmas memory too. It's nice decorating the tree. I feel like eventhough I may not have lots of Christmas decor at home, just as long as I have tree then it's all perfect :-) And how cute is the practice of your family where every child gets to participate in the decorating :-)I think it is just a picture perfect moment.

Grant, I'm sorry that you had problems with 1 tablespoon salt. It is not an error. I hope you noticed that the recipe calls for a scant tablespoon of Kosher salt. There is a difference in the strength of Kosher and regular table salt. I will add a cook's note to the recipe regarding the amount of salt used here. Mary

Well they soon have to make a move with you as well - I loved the move Julie and Julia and today when it was my birthday my husband made Beuf bourgonjong (sorry do not know how to spell it).
It is winter over there now and snow I can see and then it is so lovely to have some soup and yes potatoes are very good - I love them baked in the oven in thin slices too.

Now I knew there was a reason I loved potatoes, it's nearly the perfect food. All right. I'm buying more potatoes!! Soup looks excellent!

You're so right, Mary. We don't usually think much about the humble potato but it can actually be such rich food, fit for a king. This would be great soup on a cold snowy (rainy where I live) day.

I'm 250 miles or so up I-5 and I remember that whole month as being the worst of my 57 years here. This soup sounds lovely (a few cloudy days and I'm in winter mode already). Thinking I'll add some spicy chicken sausage, kale + corn bread and call it a hearty supper.
