Belgian theater troupe stages a busy, sometimes boring "Orgy"
"Orgy of Tolerance," a Euro-stomp howl against the sins of a bespoiled Western Civilization by Jan Fabre and Troubleyn, plays through May 17 at On the Boards in Seattle. A review by Seattle Times theater critic Misha Berson.
Seattle Times theater critic
"Orgy of Tolerance"
By Jan Fabre and Troubleyn, through Sunday, On the Boards, 100 W. Roy St., Seattle; $24 (www.ontheboards.org or 206-217-9888).Review |
Some striking, inspired moments in "Orgy of Tolerance" are as follows.
A chorus line of big, shiny shopping carts swirl to the "The Blue Danube Waltz."
Tautly muscular performers gyrate frenetically, each isolated in a pool of light. Now and again another dancer twirls and leaps across the stage, like a balletic bird soaring across a battlefield.
There are other memorable bits from Belgian stage auteur Jan Fabre and his agile, fearless troupe Troubleyn, making their Seattle debut at On the Boards.
But much of the show can't be described in a G-rated newspaper. And between the high points are patches of ham-fisted, R-rated tedium.
As an unfettered (sometimes unclothed) Euro-stomp howl against the sins of a bespoiled Western Civilization, this "Orgy" is certainly impassioned. And who can argue with the Belgium-based Fabre that war stinks, bigotry bites, pornography dehumanizes and ultra-consumerism turns our souls into, well, shopping carts?
Or, in one of the funnier bits, a large purse someone has sex with?
But such tactics as using erotic toys as masks (a la "Clockwork Orange"), spewing racist insults, evoking the Ku Klux Klan and Abu Ghraib, and saddling an ignored Christ figure with a heavy cross, are stale and unshocking in 2009.
The show does open with a long mock-Olympics of auto-eroticism. And there are a few gross-out stunts, involving the private parts of some extremely dedicated performers. (These best left to your imagination.)
Let's be clear, though: "Orgy of Tolerance" is a morality play that decries our obsessions with sex and shopping.
But this manifesto gets far more interesting toward the end, when the bombastic script (mostly in English) gives way to exhilarating, spasmodic dancing, vividly lit and underscored with kick-butt elecro-rock.
That's when the performers reveal themselves as terrific dancers and Fabre as an eloquent, exciting choreographer.

Fellow Historians,
A student's comment to me today made it clear that there is a significant difference of policy on the use of the first person singular in historical writing among members of my department. I wouldn't worry about this, but it seems to be causing some confusion among our students. How do others feel or require on this issue?
My position is to encourage the use of the first person singular, based on the argument that no historian can be totally objective, and therefore it is more intellectually honest to use the first person to acknowledge that fact and to take responsibility for one's position. Thoughts?
As this will be an item for discussion at my dept. meeting tomorrow (11/29), you can post any reply to me privately.

My vote's for using 'I' as appropriate. An advantage to requiring/encouraging first person singular among students on essays is that it would help them indicate what they themselves think vs. what 'people'/the text/your lectures, etc. think.

From: email@example.com (Joanne Klein)
Regarding the use of first person singular in history papers, I forbid it in all assignments. All essays and papers must be written in the third person without any references to "the reader", "one" or any other attempts to get around this restriction. The reason for this is that I get tired of papers full of sentences beginning, "I think" or "I suppose" and other variations on the same idea. One skill I try to encourage with writing assignments is more confidence in examining evidence and coming up with reasonable interpretations. Beginning interpretation with "I think" indicates a lack of confidence by the student in his or her conclusions. Students know from class discussions that two people faced with the same evidence might come to quite different conclusions. I am trying to teach them to support their own interpretation with evidence as well as account for other possible interpretations.

I vote no.
I always tell my students that there is no point in writing something like "I think that the Civil War was caused by the expansion of slavery." I tell them: Of course you think it, why else would you have written it in the first place. There is no point in writing "In my opinion" since I assume everything in the students' papers is their opinion. Why else would they have written it.

I suppose it depends on how skilled in writing your students are; if the use of the first-person singular makes it "easier" for them to write, then the answer is no--your job is to teach them to write history, and history is written in the third person. If they are skilled, perfectly capable of writing either way, then a good classroom exercise would be to write on the same topic in both the first and the third person, and thus show the artifice of the writer's voice.

From: firstname.lastname@example.com
I encourage students to write in the 1st person; I want to know how they think and the ways in which they interpret evidence. This helps me encourage their analysis or suggest other alternative paths. With most of my survey students, I'm basically thankful if they actually write in complete sentences that convey some familiarity with the material under discussion! I figure the niceties of "proper history" might best be applied to jr or sr courses.

From: Charlene Mires <email@example.com>
Regarding the use of first-person, there's an important distinction to be made between "I think ..." at the beginning of a sentence, which is often unnecessary, and cases where students may integrate their own experiences into their understanding of history. Don't we want students to recognize their own lives are part of history? What message do we send if we forbid them to include themselves in history papers in appropriate ways?

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Barack Obama's former pastor says criticism of his sermons is an attack on the black church. And he's delivering that message to the Washington media.
In a speech to the National Press Club, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright also defended his patriotism. He said he and members of his church, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, have served in the military while some of his critics have "used their positions of privilege" to avoid service.
Wright also said he hopes that the controversy surrounding him will spark an honest dialogue about race in this country.
Video clips of Wright's sermons have been widely shown on television and the Internet. They also proved damaging to Obama's presidential campaign.

Where have I been? Where did I go? I haven't called, I haven't written. Yes, I know. It's been one hell of a fall. You know those moments when you have so much happening at once, you feel like you're on a roller coaster and all you want to do it scream "STOP, I WANT TO GET OFF!!!!". Yep, that was my October. However, after a month of lots of work, very little sleep, even less gym time, and lots of bad for me food, I am ready to pick myself up and get back on track.
I took two weeks off at the end of October which was absolutely fabulous. Caveman and I rented an airstream trailer and headed up north. The goal was to go all the way up to Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. We didn't make it that far…not even close. This may seem like a bad thing, however it was just what we needed. It was the ultimate in do what you want, no plan, no schedule, lots of sleeping in, reading for hours, cooking on a campfire because you can, pull out the camara and see what jumps in front of it, relaxation. We drove through Wyoming for a couple days, stopped when we got tired, and then made it to Grand Teton National Park. I have to say, driving through the middle of nowhere is surprisingly beautiful. It's amazing how next-to-nothingness can seem so wild, so pure, so…untainted (once we got out of the major oil/gas operations that is). It's a fairly humbling experience. In the vast nothingness, you feel so insignificant yet so connected.
Grand Teton was absolutely breathtaking. Every morning there was a thin layer of fog beneath the mountains and you could just see the Tetons erupting out of the mist like two giants. From the dozens of overlooks, you could look down into the valley cut out by the snake river which gently trickled in its bed. This was a quiet time of year. With tourist season over, the soundtrack consisted mainly of elk bugling, grasses rustling in the breeze, and the occasional moo from a nearby ranch. About midway through the trip, the snow started to fall and then the soundtrack was silent. When the winds were down, you could actually hear the snowflakes themselves falling to the ground. It was the perfect scenery for recharging and reflexion.
Of course the dog thought the snow was the absolute bomb and several times we had to tie her up to the front of the trailer with the heaters blasting so she would dry off before jumping on the bed.

Pajama Sam 3: You Are What You Eat From Your Head To Your Feet
Windows Screenshots
Gorging on cookies must have been a tough job for Sam (even for the box tops for a Pajama Man action figure!)
The following of the snickering cookies has ended up in the kitchen where an unforgettable journey will soon begin for Sam.
Your old pal Carrot once again helps you. His help? He will be keeping General Beetfoot (in the back) from boiling over and sending out the troops.
One of the missing delegates, Granny Smythe is stuck in the Caramel pit. You must find a solution quickly.
You will be trying to help many characters in need for a solution like this comedian. His jokes are out of order, unfortunately. Can you help him?
The interaction with the backgrounds is quite fun; just click on when your cursor changes to a small solid arrow and watch the surprises unfold!
Pajama Sam needs to find 20 box tops to get a Pajama Man doll (yup, "action figure" is just a term invented in order not to use the "girly" word "doll") - much easier than finding all the socks in the

Rising Acidity Brings an Ocean of Trouble
12 July 2012 2:10 pm
The burning of fossil fuels emits some 35 billion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. That has already begun to change the fundamental chemistry of the world's oceans, steadily increasing their level of acidity. On page 220 of this week's issue of Science, scientists report projections from a new high-resolution computer model showing that over the next 4 decades, the combination of deep-water upwelling and rising atmospheric CO2 is likely to have profound impacts on waters off the West Coast of the United States, home to one of the world's most diverse marine ecosystems and most important commercial fisheries. The new computer model is only one of several recent warning signs. Numerous laboratory and field studies over the past few years underscore rising concerns that ocean acidification could devastate marine ecosystems on which millions of people depend for food and jobs.

POC writes:
Of course taxes are going up for long time homesteaders, because over the long haul SOH suppresses property values. By assessing property values much lower for the vast majority there is a large disincentive to purchase properties, whether it be new construction or a resale.
Think about it:
If you are going to purchase a home that is similar to the neighbors, but the home on the left pays $2,000 per year in taxes, and the home on the right pays $2,000 in taxes -
Wouldn't you be willing to pay more for the home if your taxes would be $2,000 too, rather than if the taxes were going to be $5,000 per year?
This is also the reason why the scenarios in the article weren't good ones. If the average 2008 market value was $334,000 and the average taxable property value was $224,000, and if in fact property values only went down 24%, that would not mean that taxable property values would correspond with a 24% decrease too.
An average 24% decrease in market values to $253,840 with a $50,000 homestead exemption would be $203,840, not $170,240. Furthermore, properties that had already been taxed at values below newly assessed values of $203,840 would still see increased taxes. Since the majority of homes are homesteaded that is likely to be a more accurate picture.

I liked this place very much not anymore... Food worse and takes forever. I'm surprised that owner of this place does not see that his business is going down.
I liked this place very much not anymore... Food worse and takes forever. I'm surprised that owner of this place does not see that his business is going down.
This place is one of the best kept secrets in Key West, from the breakfast to the other items. Best tuna salad sandwich I have ever had and we have lived all over the world. Highly recommend it.
Its in a strip mall (uh-oh)...it could be beside a train track and I'd still come running---don't let where it is fool you---the bagels, smoked salmon, omlettes, coffee and service are fabulous!! I wish I had brought a couple of bagels home with me.....
Our hotel recommend this place. I know it would be good when I saw the Temple made sign.The owner is from Philly and a Temple grad:) I had a bagel (boiled and baked)with scallion cream cheese and grits.My husband had the daily egg special. great local place,good menu options ,clean and friendly. We would most certainly make a return visit.... More
Goldman's is busy and small. The food was really good especially the bagels. The staff was quick with coffee and taking orders. And our meals were out to our table within 5 minutes. I would recommend this place to anyone.
We had the pleasure of enjoying a late breakfast at this terrific bagel shop. My husband and I had never been there, but my daughter and Grandson go there often. First of all, the bagel selection was extensive, the spreads (chive cheese and smoked fish spread) rivaled any I've had either in New York or in Brookline...with very reasonable prices.... More
We ate breakfast 2x here while on vacation in KW. The prices are inexpensive, yet the quality of the food is outstanding. The bagels are fresh and they offer a variety to choose from, including the "everything" bagel, my favorite. The staff is friendly, the coffee is hot, over easy eggs just perfect and the price can't be beat in... More
Goldman's Deli is a real gem. Not fancy but a great place for breakfast. Their early bird special (two eggs, grits, home fries, or tomato slices plus bagel or toast AND coffee) goes until 2 pm. Their deli sandwiches -- pastrami, corned beef, etc. -- are the real deal. The service is always great. Pleasant people serving good food in... More
One of the desk clerks at the Parrot Key Resort suggested this place and I'm so glad she did! It's a wonderful deli thy offers an early bird breakfast special for $4! If you're looking for a good, NY deli sandwich...this is the place to go!
We've been coming here since it opened- for both breakfast and lunch.. Located in the Winn-Dixie Plaza in New Town. The homemade corned beef is wonderful. My husband loves the corned beef hash. I love the tuna nicoise salad with their homemade lemon garlic dressing. Excellent pastrami as well. The lox plate with their homemade bagels is great! Never had... More

They net less on those calendars in a year than Howard makes in an hour. It's like a regular person writing a check for $30. The calendar is a huge waste of time.
When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." ~Frederic Bastiat
Exactly. Rich people like Beth and Howard are so annoying. Isn't this what Sam Simon was talking about? Why doesn't Howard Money Bags Stern just fork over the 7 million and pay for the cat refuge? He doesn't have to make a big show of selling stupid calendars. The only point in selling calendars is to once again promote the amazing Beth O.
I don't tweet. Can someone please tweet him "A self absorbed project by a Dlist fertographer & his Dlist list wife is not really doing a good deed??"
I have nothing clever to say...

Open Door – a personal story from Wesley Chu
As you probably know by now, we're currently running an Open Door period for unagented submissions.
We've found a fair few excellent authors through this process, and in August we told you about a few of them.
Tomorrow, we publish Open Door author Wesley Chu's second book, The Deaths of Tao.
In Wes's words:
Eighteen months ago, the raging automatons and I made an alliance to take over the world. With their massive droid army and worldwide distribution, and my Kung-Fu grip and bravely stupid bravery, we've embarked on a mission to conquer all mankind (dibs on New Zealand). Now with The Deaths of Tao posed to invade your bookshelves tomorrow, we are on the cusp of total victory!
To aid in our conquest efforts, Lee Harris, senior editor of Angry Robot Books, has issued a call to arms with the Great Open Submission of 2013. So attach your laser cannon, droids, power up the vibro blades, get the latest firmware updates, and brush up those manuscripts! Prepare ready for total victory!
What is the Angry Robot Open Submission, you say? Here is my experience joining the Robot Army and getting my upgrades.
Oh great Angry Robot Open Submission of 2011, you were a sneaky punk-ass bastard. I shall fondly remember you for the sources of my upset stomachs, mild cases of syphilitic crazed episodes (without the syphilis of course—I swear), and extended struggles with insomnia, but you were so fucking worth it you little sweet, sweet pain in the life-changing ass you.
I know what's going through your head. If you think syphilis and insomnia sound like a crappy time, you'd be right. I mean, not that I know or anything about syphilis being unpleasant. I'm only assuming it ranks down there somewhere between getting tickled and getting kicked in the gut. Wait, what am I talking about again? Oh yes, back to the great Angry Robot Open Submission of 2011.
Hi, I'm Wesley Chu and I like to write, and through the gentle grace and heavily anodized fist of the mighty robot overlords, I'm the published author of The Lives of Tao and the upcoming The Deaths of Tao (October 29th).
How has the open sub changed my life? There's something about that first time you make the bookstore pilgrimage to see your little newborn baby sitting on the shelf in its punch-you-in-the-face yellow glory right next to Arthur C. Clarke (because Ch is next to Cl) that you realize that "shit just got real".
To be honest, I can barely remember what my life was like before the open submission. I was just a squatter who spent countless hours abusing the bottomless cup of coffee policies at cafes chasing a dream. Now…wait, that hasn't change. What has changed is that now I have a career doing what I love. Someone actually pays me to write! I mean, how ridiculous is that?

Dustin Hoffman's Directorial Debut to Star Maggie Smith and Billy Connolly
Sheridan Smith, Michael Gambon, Tom Courtenay and Pauline Collins also have roles in "Quartet," which begins shooting in the U.K. this week.
LONDON – Oscar winner Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly and Pauline Collins are all singing from Dustin Hoffman's song sheet for his U.K. set directorial debut Quartet.
Hoffman's cast, looking like a who's who of British talent, also includes Sheridan Smith and Michael Gambon and is set to shoot for nine weeks, beginning this week.
BBC Films and DCM Productions are backing a Headline Pictures and Finola Dwyer Productions movie in association with Decca and sales and finance label HanWay Films.
Based on Ronald Harwood's stage play of the same name, Quartet is billed as a film about redefining old age and growing old with hope.
It tells the tale of a group of old folks who live in a home for retired opera singers. Every year on Giuseppe Verdi's birthday, the residents unite to give a concert to raise funds for their home. A new resident comes in and upsets the balance as old rivalry's appear.
Hoffman's film is produced by Finola Dwyer and Stewart Mackinnon.
Quartet is bankrolled by BBC Films, DCM Productions and Decca.
Executive producers are Jamie Laurenson (BBC Films), Dario Suter, Christoph Daniel and Marc Schmidheiny (all from DCM), Dickon Stainer (Decca), Xavier Marchand (Momentum) and Hoffman.
HanWay is handling international sales.
Deals inked already include Momentum for the U.K., Transmission for Australia / NZ, Delphi for Germany, Lusomundo for Portugal, A Film for Benelux, Vertice for Spain, Odeon in Greece, Elite Film AG in Switzerland, MG Film in former Yugoslavia, Front Row in the Middle East, Ster-Kinekor in South Africa and Atom Cinema in Taiwan.

Lisa Marr
Lisa Marr
Bassist, singer and songwriter Lisa Marr has built a career around her creative diversity, having worked with cuddle-core favorites Cub and garage-flavored punk-popsters Buck before striking out on her own with the alt-country influenced quintet The Lisa Marr Experiment. Born in Canada, Marr cut her musical teeth in Vancouver, British Columbia, when she joined Cub in 1992 after meeting bandmates Robynn Iwata and Valeria Fellini while all three were working at the same college radio station. Cub's cheerful pop-punk sound won them a significant following in both Canada and the United States. The band amicably parted ways in 1997, and Marr moved to Los Angeles, California, where she quickly got back in the game with Buck, whose line-up also included percussionist Lisa G. (who played drums in a latter lineup of Cub), and guitarist Pepper Berry. During their two years together, Buck earned a loyal following in California and went through a number of drummers before calling it quits in 2000. True to form, Marr immediately moved on to her next project, The Lisa Marr Experiment, which pared back a bit of the punk-styled energy of her earlier material in favor of a sound influenced by the high and lonesome approach of country music. Working with multi-instrumentalist Mike Flanagan, drummer Sherri Solinger (who played with Buck for a spell), and steel guitarist Freddie Karl Sablan, Jr., Marr and the Experiment released their debut album, 4 AM, in 2000; one of the songs from the album was later covered by Canadian alt-country sensation Neko Case, who had briefly been a member of one of the latter lineups of Cub. In 2003, the group's second set, American Jitters, hit the racks, with the band growing to a five piece with the addition of guitarist Mart Beal. In her private life, Marr is married to a fellow bassist, Ronnie Barnett, who plays with L.A. pop-punkers The Muffs. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The one-day visit by Yukiya Amano of the International Atomic Energy Agency is focused on getting Iran to agree to terms that will allow IAEA inspections of suspect Iranian sites, including the Parchin military complex where the agency has reported suspicious activities in the past.
In Jerusalem, meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said world powers need to be tough on the Islamic regime's nuclear program.
"Iran wants to destroy Israel and it is developing nuclear weapons to fulfill that goal," Mr. Netanyahu said.
Iran denies having worked on atomic weapons and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. It says Parchin is only a conventional weapons site.
Mr. Amano said the two sides discussed "various issues including nuclear disarmament, peaceful use of nuclear energy and future actions."
"Some work remains to be done, but it will not block achievements in the talks," he said on Iranian state television without elaboration.
Neither side made mention of Parchin in remarks to the press after the meeting, keeping their statements general.
Top Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalili said that he had "good talks with Amano in this regard and, God willing, we will have good cooperation."
Inspecting Parchin, southeast of the capital, was a key request made by senior IAEA teams that visited Tehran in January and February. Iran rebuffed those demands at the time.
Mr. Amano's trip is significant both for what it can achieve in terms of probing Iran's secretive nuclear program and as a mood-setter for talks Wednesday in Baghdad involving Iran, the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
Mr. Amano said the IAEA's contacts will "definitely have a positive impact" on the Baghdad talks.
"These are two separate issues, but they can improve each other," he said.
The six world powers are at the forefront of trying to persuade Iran to curb its nuclear program and ease concerns about wanting to make nuclear weapons. For its part, Iran will seek to delay looming U.S. and European Union sanctions on its oil exports at the Baghdad talks.
The six will attempt to get Iran to commit to stop enriching uranium to a level that can be turned quickly into the fissile core of nuclear warheads.

Got my 2nd gold anchor. Have 28 bronze and 8 silver.
My long quest today was rather reasonable: 1 soap and 1 vegetable ragu. Had all the ingredients ready (except for the cheese) - so can make it in 3 hours, which leaves me 25 minutes before the contest for fish ends. This will give me my third business card for the bridge, where I still have 3 days and 12 hours left to get the safe. I have a fair chance of placing with 32 fish. Now the question is: do I buy the remaining 5 cards, collect 2 silver medals and then have 3 contests to gather the last silver medal, or do I hope to collect the fourth business card before the contest tomorrow ends, saving me 10 city credits, but leaving me with 3 shots to get 3 silver medals?
I am Keldubay, which is also the Cityname. Playing from St. Petersburg, Russia
Level 58 - looking for tools, mainly hammers. Preparing an assault at the Hydro Plant, but need to jear good news on the rulers first
Anchors are just random, weighted of course as you would think, Bronzeis the most likely, then Silver then Gold.My distribution has been pretty even
18 Bronze
11 Silver
3 Gold
i'm 1/3 of the way to the upgrade.
Wow Spike! From my reckoning, It appears as if you have sent 60 ships out! I have 19 bronze, 12 silver & 7 gold. I though I was doing well with 38 ships. I really think that it is random. I have gotten all three from a fast fill.

Markov Logic: An Interface Layer for Artificial Intelligence (Google eブックス)Most subfields of computer science have an interface layer via which applications communicate with the infrastructure, and this is key to their success (e.g., the Internet in networking, the relational model in databases, etc.). So far this interface layer has been missing in AI. First-order logic and probabilistic graphical models each have some of the necessary features, but a viable interface layer requires combining both. Markov logic is a powerful new language that accomplishes this by attaching weights to first-order formulas and treating them as templates for features of Markov random fields. Most statistical models in wide use are special cases of Markov logic, and first-order logic is its infinite-weight limit. Inference algorithms for Markov logic combine ideas from satisfiability, Markov chain Monte Carlo, belief propagation, and resolution. Learning algorithms make use of conditional likelihood, convex optimization, and inductive logic programming. Markov logic has been successfully applied to problems in information extraction and integration, natural language processing, robot mapping, social networks, computational biology, and others, and is the basis of the open-source Alchemy system.

I saw this survey on Susan's blog Bloggin' 'bout Books, which she grabbed from The Perpetual Page-Turner. It looked like a fun survey and since I love surveys, I had to do it!
Author you've read the most books from:
That honor goes to Mary Higgins Clark. Before I was a huge reader, I did enjoy reading her books occasionally. I've read 14 of them, double what I've read of any other author's.
Best sequel ever:
I think Everbound by Brodi Ashton is the best sequel ever. I loved it! You learn so much about all the characters and it could almost stand on its own.
Currently reading:
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and A Different Blue by Amy Harmon
Drink of choice while reading:
I don't really drink or eat while I read. But, if I did it'd probably be water or Gatorade since those seem to be my drinks of choice as of late.
E-reader or physical book:
I like both. I read more physical books than I do on my Kindle. But, I love my Kindle!
Fictional character you probably would have actually dated in high school:
I would've liked to date Edward Cullen, Jasper Hale, Cricket Bell, Etienne St. Claire, Jack Caputo, WW Hale, and Daniel Kalbi, but I probably actually would've dated Simon Lewis or Eric Yorkie (non-movie versions).
Glad you gave this book a chance:
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
Hidden gem book:
Dragon Prince by Melanie Rawn
Important moment in your reading life:
Reading Twilight. If I hadn't read Twilight, I wouldn't have started reading for real, met a whole bunch of awesome friends through the Twilight Lexicon, or started a blog and consequently met awesome friends through it.
Just finished:
The Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale
Kinds of books you won't read:
I won't read anything in the erotica genre. I don't like stories that revolve around graphic sex. I don't mind sex in books, but I don't want to read about what pleasured him or her and I don't want the story to be based on sex. I love romance, but I like there to be some meat (no pun intended) to the plot. And, I think the tension before sex is much more fun to read than the sex act.
Longest book you've read:
I guess The Old Testament is the longest book I've ever read. After that, it'd be Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Major book hangover because of:
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. It was just a lot to think about.
Number of bookcases you own:
I own five but I need more.
One book you have read multiple times:
I've read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban five times. It and the first four books in the Harry Potter series tie for first place (other than scriptural text).
Preferred place to read:
Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you've read:
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)
Reading regret:
I wish I had read more when I was young. I've missed out on a lot of good books and reading. But, I'm determined to catch up.
Series you started and need to finish (all books are out in the series):
I haven't read Clockwork Princess yet. I love this series and I can't wait to know how it ends and, yet, I still haven't read the final book because other things keep getting in the way.
Three of your all-time favorite books:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Dune, and Fox in Socks
Unapologetic fangirl for:
I was for Stephenie Meyer until this article came out.
Very excited for this release more than all the others:
City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
Worst bookish habit:
I don't really have any bad bookish habits. I use bookmarks, I take good care of my books, etc. (Updated: I guess reading my Kindle in the bathtub is a bad habit according to the comments, lol.)
X marks the spot (start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book):
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
Your latest book purchase:
Blackmoore by Julianne Donaldson
Zzz-snatcher book (last book that kept you up way late):
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Founded in Birmingham in 1920, Balch & Bingham has grown to become not only one of the largest firms in Alabama, but also a major player across the Sunbelt, its reach extending as far as Atlanta and Washington, DC. The firm's largest groups include litigation, corporate and securities, intellectual property, financial services and labor and employment in addition to more niche specialties like utilities, nuclear energy, gaming and sports law.
A Big New Deal in Birmingham
In 1920, Judge William Logan Martin Jr.-a World War I veteran and graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and the University of Alabama law school-decided to start a private law practice in Birmingham. In the firm's early years Martin's main client was the Alabama Power Company, where his brother sat as president. As the firm grew and Martin formed partnerships with other attorneys, the firm assisted the power company in developing huge hydropower projects, and even helped hash out the Constitutional questions surrounding President Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives before SCOTUS and Congress. Starting in the 1990s, the firm spread out through a series of new offices.
Thanks in part to a series of mergers, Balch & Bingham has grown to over 200 attorneys in six offices in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Washington, D.C. The firm is still a major player in the energy market, serving clients like the Nevada Power Company. Reinforcing its energy practices is a strong lobbying practice whose clients include Alabama Power Company, the Biotechnology Association of Alabama and Lending Tree. The firm has also recently expanded its commercial real estate practice, which counseled one of the first "green" shopping centers in the United States, a $30 million complex in Atlanta.
Always Be Prepared
Balch & Bingham also boasts an active community service program. Since the 1990s, the firm has been a "partner-in-education" with a Birmingham middle school. The firm is also a longtime sponsor of a Boy Scouts of America explorer post designed to help young people learn about the practice of law through activities such as mock trials, court observation, practice negotiations and witness examination skills.

Woodland Indian Traditional Artist Project
Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures
Supported by the Wisconsin Folk Museum and informed by the region's folklorists, the Woodland Indian Traditional Artist Project resulted in the ethnographic documentation of 16 Woodland Indian traditional artists from the Upper Midwest in 1994-1995, acquisition of approximately 50 pieces of their art work, an exhibit that featured the artifacts, a traveling photo-text exhibit that toured four Woodland Indian nation centers, a summer-fall artist demonstration series, and a Down Home Dairyland radio program. Folklorist James P. Leary recorded and transcribed the interviews with the artists, while photographer Lewis Koch photographed them and their work.

Collection Guide to the Jo Daviess County Folk Arts in Education Project Collection
Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures
The Jo Daviess County Folk Arts in Education Project generated field reports, sound recordings, and photographic images from a one-month folk art survey of Jo Daviess County, Illinois, in 1990, and modest communications, student work, and related manuscript materials from two two-week folk arts educational programs in the River Ridge (Elizabeth and Hanover) and Galena school districts in 1991. With Illinois Arts Council initiative and funding and Galena/Jo Daviess County Historical Society and Museum sponsorship, folklorist Janet C. Gilmore documented 12 traditional practitioners including 7 quilters, a number of quilting groups, a rag-rug weaver, a horse-farming family, trappers, and a genuine local character and "river rat," several of whom additionally contributed information about farm life, commercial fishing, waterfowling, railroading, foundry work, leather work, knife-making, and decoy-carving in the area.
