The tart looks amazing...so creamy and screaming citrus! I too am overly frustrated when manners are lacking in a situation. I can overwhelm me at times. Hope you had a good getaway!
- February 25, 2011 at 9:04 PM
Awesome El. I love, love, love the photos!! I completely agree on the manners thing too. So true!

Beautiful post...I loved everything about it. This was my first season baking with Meyer Lemons and I am hooked. It is a perfect time of year to enjoy a fruit that looks like a little bit of sunshine.

This tart looks unbelievably beautiful. The photo makes me clearly imagine the taste and texture (I don't know if my imagination is right, but I'll definitely have to find out).
As someone who works in the service industry, your post resonates. I always find it interesting when people meet at the point of customer and provider of service. Often this creates a barrier where we can forget that the person we are interacting with is more or less the same as we are and we both need to be kind, patient and consider our manners. Lovely post. - February 25, 2011 at 9:29 PM

I know what you mean about annoying strangers. Pretty much everyone in New York annoys me, especially people who walk way too slow on the street!
This tart is amazing! Makes me long for summer... - February 25, 2011 at 9:35 PM

When in doubt... be classy. It amazes me how oblivious people can be.. when I moved to Japan I became more aware, so the culture had a profound affect on me... but I find that being "nice" take less energy than trying to be mean, or rude..my goodness. the women swearing at the kids (in public) is a bit too redneck for me...
In my own home... I dribble whatever's down the front of me and talk like a sailor...when I'm out.. I'm aware of others.. the dog on the leash, no apology... the no apology really gets my knickers in a twist..
When I feel upset or sad about these things... the onus is on them. - February 25, 2011 at 9:55 PM

Your ricotta citrus tart looks so luscious! I'm glad to see you putting these wonderful seasonal fruits to good use.
This stuff about etiquette drives me crazy, and sometimes just makes me want to move to a remote region of the world just to avoid such incidences. I can't believe that someone would allow their dog to jump on you, ruin your coat and not even apologize. Do they not have a conscience?
It's beyond me why people are so blasé. I do know one thing, I will make sure that teach my children to be considerate and conscious of their actions and behavior. It all starts somewhere, doesn't it? - February 25, 2011 at 10:18 PM
Fabulous post. I also can't believe that someone would let their dog jump on you. Did you say anything to him? Some of my son's friends are also unbelievably rude to their parents. When they're in our house they are well-behaved and polite because we set boundaries. It's proof that they can behave.
Thank goodness there are a few gentlemen left, like the man in the post office. what a difference a smile makes.
Beautiful photographs and recipe too!! - February 25, 2011 at 10:38 PM

My thoughts? I have just realized that "there are times when people I don't know drive me crazy", too! I have worked with people for a few years at a bank and your description has totally matched many situations I have witnessed and how powerful a smile and some kind words can be. Loved reading your post!
By the way, I made a ricotta tart (I'm not sure if I can call it a tart) just this morning... what a coincidence!
Yours looks absolutely delicious. I love lemon desserts! - February 26, 2011 at 3:16 AM

You are right. It does matter how people treat others. And it makes a much better place to live in.
Your tart looks delicious! - February 26, 2011 at 7:29 AM

What a brilliant idea to use Meyer lemons in your recipe. Every year I host a potluck dinner where everyone is asked to bring a Meyer lemon dish, from entrees to desserts. Everything has to have Meyer lemons in it. I just know your Creamy Meyer Lemon, Bergamot Orange and Fresh Ricotta Tart recipe will be a big hit.
Loved your story about the man in the post office. I certainly agree with you about manners and consideration of others making the world a better place.

the tart is lovely! i love meyer lemon.
i think the post office is one of the most notorious places for bad moods and rudeness. i like to approach it as a "we're all in this together" scenario. it's the post office, there will be a wait and possible frustrations...no need to exacerbate that, right? - February 26, 2011 at 1:06 PM
- kellypea said...
First, and most importantly, the tart looks and sounds wonderful. I can't get enough citrus these days! As far as manners go, I deal daily with neighbors whom I've lived near for years who can't bring themselves to respond to a simple smile or hello. I persist, except when I give the evil eyebrow to those you've described here so well. Loud cell phone conversations are a pet peeve.

- Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen said...
I wish I could get my hands on Bergamot Oranges, I have always wanted to taste a fresh one.
I think that what you said about that man in the post office bringing positive energy to the room is what good manners does for people. Good manners are contagious, when you see someone behaving kindly towards others it puts you in a good mood and makes you want to do the same.
I think it's about acknowledging that there are other people in the world besides you and giving them the respect they deserve. Unfortunately people are so focused on themselves they rarely take the time to consider others anymore. - February 27, 2011 at 4:52 AM
- lostpastremembered said...
Gorgeous tart... and manners?? Well, you get more flies with sugar. People do blossom...especially those with public jobs (tolls, drivers license, post office etc) and they will do a 180 when you treat them as human beings.
The only place not to do it is customs... I was told they are suspicious of people who are too nice (and yes, I used to get checked a lot...sad but true... now I am quiet!). - February 27, 2011 at 9:18 AM
- Confessions of a Gourmand said...
I agree that manners are important. I think we should be courteous to people. But I do have to say, I don't like people pleasing either. I'm happy if people just mind their own business!! Great post. Sensational pics!!!

- JujyCakes said...
The tart is delicious and the photos are lovely.
Manners and etiquette seems to be a lost art. Heaven forbid if everyone would slow down the pace in what seems to be getting faster and faster. Take time to be nice to other people, be less demanding, and stop feeling a sense of entitlement. Treat people like you would like to be treated. That's not so hard, really?!
Thanks again for the beautiful posting! Enjoy your lovely day! - February 27, 2011 at 11:38 AM
- El said...
Confessions- I hear you. It would be great if others would just keep to themselves. I'm definitely not a people pleaser but I do believe in common courtesy. Thanks for the feedback.

- Elisabet Figueras said...
I am happy that there are still people like the gentleman in the post office.
The Ricotta tart awesome! - February 27, 2011 at 1:13 PM
- vanillasugar said...
you are right. and it bothers me too that manners, respect, and the like are gone. what blows my mind is people not picking up after their dogs. assuming your lawn is safe, neutral territory while theirs is not. so i pick it up and place it on their lawn. they yell at me, i yell at them. it's madness and i don't want to keep up with it. so hear you...

- Meeta K. Wolff said...
El, I've noticed that too! When people around me seem to be having a bad day - a smile and a happy cheerful greeting makes them light up and be positive. And your tart certainly adds a lot more positive energy to my morning ;o)

- sliceofmylyfe said...
Stunning photographs!! What a beautiful blog!! Enjoyed going through some of your entries as this is my first visit. I am sure coming back for more.
About manners I second your opinion on how important they are. But these days manners and having etiquettes are deemed very pretentious and formal. But I belong to that old school of thought and nothing impresses me than a guy opening a door for me. So sexy! - February 28, 2011 at 3:50 AM
- Sweet Artichoke said...
What a beautiful tart! I can imagine the delicious texture given by ricotta and the blend of flavours... Perfect!

very pretty. I plan to make some homemade ricotta next week; this will be the perfect thing to make with it!
- February 28, 2011 at 10:23 AM
- Katie@Cozydelicious said...
Your tart looks fantastic. I think rolling dough is a wonderful way to mull over the events of the day. And in my opinion, it's not so much about manners, as general consideration, a recognition that other people exist! Like the gentlman at the Post office, we can choose to enjoy other people, and help them enjoy - or we can ignore them, and scream across a crowded locker room.
- February 28, 2011 at 11:42 AM
Lovely photos El...and I agree on the importance of manners, completely. I do have a question....when you say fresh ricotta, do you mean I have to make it from scratch? Thanks!!
- February 28, 2011 at 3:49 PM
- Cynthia A. said...
How apropo. A few days ago I pulled into a gas station and the pump would not pump the gas I had selected. I went to talk to the clerk who said that pump was out of Super (all my otherwise much loved Suburu is made to run on). When I inquired which pump had super he replied "none". How about a sign? Or a bag over those pumps saying "Sorry out of order"? I think a slice of Meyer Lemon tart would have made me not care about having to drive across town for gas.

- Lael Hazan @educatedpalate said...
What a beautiful post. Yes, manners matter. The man at the post office was a gentleman in the true sense of the word. It is sad how thoughtless remarks ruin our day when all of us can use a dose of cordiality.
The tart looks beautiful, we have sabocan(sp) lemons on our tree that may be ripe. This might be a good use for them. - February 28, 2011 at 5:43 PM
- RamblingTart said...
I would want to give that man a hug. :-) I have a customer like him. Every time he calls my spirit brightens because I KNOW how lovely he's going to be. Like the best grandpa ever!! Your tart is wonderful, and I join you in applauding those who truly do make this world a better place just by being in it. :-)

I've never thought of adding food coloring to my ricotta tart. Mine always looks so dull. thanks for the tip!

- fresh365 said...
Great post El, and its not just because this tart looks DELICIOUS but your thoughts on manners are right on. Love the post office story, because you are right, one person can change the mood of an entire room with their positive attitude. Negativity is catchy, but luckily so is being positive!
- March 1, 2011 at 9:31 AM
- El said...
Thanks for the comments everyone.
Slice- I had to laugh when I read your comment. Did you ever notice that the people who say manners are out of date are those who don't have any?
JKM- Oh dear no. Just pick it up from the store! - March 1, 2011 at 1:42 PM

Wow, the tart looks delicious, specially with the citrus fruit in it. Love the idea of using ricotta. So elegantly done!

I could really use a slice of this and a strong espresso right now. Dreamy. Love the choice of citrus and bergamot is one of my faves!
I am right there with you. Sometimes I feel the same way, usually at 4 pm on the train, or when the post has one clerk. Urr! - March 2, 2011 at 7:22 PM

The texture and colour of this tart looks absolutely scrumptious. Your photography is dreamy and I love the fantasy world of your house and my visits here, El.

Gorgeous tart. Kindness begets kindness, so yes it is important how people see you
Mimi - March 3, 2011 at 3:00 PM
- Stella said...
Hey El, manners and etiquette certainly matter to some extent, I think kindness is even more important though. The gentlemen you described was both polite and kind-an excellent combination;-) Oh, and most people will learn the lesson of how important those two virtues are later in life rather than earlier...
Either way though, your tart looks and sounds awesome! What a stellar combination of flavors. - March 3, 2011 at 3:08 PM

such a wonderful tart... I am very curious to taste the bergamot orange :)

- SavoringTime in the Kitchen said...
This tart could change my attitude in a heartbeat! How creamy and delicious-looking it is.
Some people are totally clueless, I think. When asked 'how are you' at the checkout, or the checker says 'have a good day', I always try to response in kind to her or him. A little kindness does go a long way. - March 5, 2011 at 12:14 PM
- Karen said...
I think the feeling of being engaged with the world, with life and everyone in it - like that man in the post office - is the true nature of human beings. But stuff happens. People get so caught up in their dramas they lose a sense of grace and consideration. They're just not paying attention.
Whenever I see a baby I'm reminded that every person starts out with a pure, joyful soul.
That tart is a beauty. The filling reminds me of an Italian pastry I grew up with called sfogliatelle, which is filled with a mixture of semolina, sweetened ricotta and lemon.
And where in the world did you find bergamot?! I thought they were only available fresh in the warm, Mediterranean places I'd love to live in! - March 5, 2011 at 6:55 PM
- Lynn @ I'll Have What She's Having said...
Strangers often drive me crazy. It's mostly little things like you've described. The one that gets me the most is people who refuses to hold a door for people behind them. I'm not saying let me through first, just hold it for 3 seconds so that it doesn't slam in my face.
I think if everyone behaved like that man at the post office, we would all be much happier and less stressed.
This tart sounds delicious. I wonder if I could somehow incorporate earl grey tea instead of bergamot oranges. - March 5, 2011 at 7:13 PM
- Chloe said...
People drive me crazy sometimes too. I think etiquette and manners are definitely underrated and I really enjoyed reading this post. The lemon pictures you took are divine. I love that little half slice in the bowl. Where did you find that bowl? I've been looking for something like that to keep jewelry in! Gorgeous as always El!!!

I couldn't agree more about manners and kindness begetting kindness.
Your tart looks oh so beautiful and I think I can only begin to imagine how good it tasted!
I expected you'd use the zest of the bergamot orange.
Did you not add it for a particular reason?
Btw, have you read David Lebovitz's article about bergamot oranges"? - March 6, 2011 at 6:07 PM

The tart looks incredible. I love lemon but have never tried the Bergamot orange. Do you recommend looking for them at the market? I like the idea of the exotic flavors!!

I hear ya about the etiquette issue. I love dogs but I do not want them jumping on me with muddy paws, about the mom/children with the screaming and people who talk loudly in restaurants!
Bless the customer at the post office, manners have been forgotten in this fast-paced society and technology world. Anyway, I love meyer lemons especially in a tart and yours look delicious! - March 7, 2011 at 9:29 AM

Gorgeous photos as always and the tart looks so yummy. I do so like lemon desserts.
- March 7, 2011 at 9:50 AM
- El said...
Hi Marie, the Bergamot orange is very strong. Imagine a strong grapefruit with the essence of earl grey. No, I wouldn't go out of my way to find one. A regular lemon will do just fine. I would simply taste the batter while mixing to see if you think it requires more or less citrus flavor. Thanks for your comment.

Beautiful photos! I was hoping that you included the recipe for this, and viola! Yes!
I agree with you on people you don't know can sometimes drive you crazy. There was this one patient yesterday at my periodontist's office and he's asking the hygienist many questions which requires only common sense. I just roll my eyes on situations like this. LOL. - March 8, 2011 at 1:09 AM
God El this is to die for. I hear you on the courtesy issue but think everyone would be much more pleasant surrounded by this dessert! Stunning bella.

- Cristina said...
Another gorgeous and well written post.
This tart...looks absolutely delicious. I can almost taste it and will soon, as soon as I make it too. :)
I had to laugh at how you started the post. Because it sounded like something I would say also. Sometimes I'm more sensitive to these behaviors of others and sometimes I'm able to let it just roll off. The gentlemen in the postoffice with the infections good nature is a breath of fresh air and brings back hope that there is goodness, afterall. :) - March 10, 2011 at 9:59 PM
- Mariko said...
I totally agree about getting annoyed with people you don't know. I sometimes wonder if I would think it was fine if I they were a friend of mine. How are some people so unaware of themselves?
This tart is definitely enough to change any negative energy into good. I'm bookmarking it now. - March 12, 2011 at 2:16 AM
- Sally said...
This is torture! I had a similar tart in a wonderful restaurant in Florence (Cibreo) and have been tinkering with a recipe. Yours looks perfect but I can only make it for a special occasion because it is so addicting (summer's coming.) If you ever shop at Russo's in Watertown, you can find the best ricotta I have ever tasted. It comes in a little white tin on the bottom and is mounded ice-cream cone-fashion on top. It is made in CT by Liuzzi Angenloni. The best alternative to making this tart is to visit your pictures! So lovely.
p.s. I think New Englanders are just plain cranky (read, rude) at this time of year--spring takes too long to arrive. But there really is no excuse for that kind of behavior. It makes me sad. - March 12, 2011 at 9:18 AM

:) Sometimes I wonder if I'm turning into a grouch when I get annoyed at people who talk/eat too loudly without a care for the people around them. Glad to see that I'm not alone!
I love bergamot (Earl Grey is my fav) and am really curious about tasting the actual fruit! - March 22, 2011 at 2:25 PM

- katha said...
thank you so much for that amazing recipe. did you develop it or do you remember the inspiration?
i was lucky to get a few meyer lemons and a bergamot here in vienna/austria/europe so i was searching for recipes with both of them. that's how i found my way to your blog.
the recipes for dough (very smooth and easy to work) and filling (GREAT!) are superb. the only thing i want to remark is that the pre-baking time is way too short for me. but that's peanuts in relation to the taste of the whole thing.
a different question would be how much lemon (and maybe orange) juice and zest you would recommend if someone doesn't get meyer lemons and bergamots.
unfortunately meyer lemons are not available in europe (and bergamots only in italy). (i got mine from here http://www.esskultur.at/index.php/2011/09/18/heureka-schoenbrunner-gold/) - March 3, 2012 at 4:08 PM
- Alanna said...
Oh, wow, this looks so good! I have a bowlful of meyers from a friend's tree. Just made a meyer lemon buttermilk pie, but this looks exquisite, especially with the addition of bergamot. Saw this posted on pinterest, and am so glad to have found your beautiful site!

Yum! I have just made this pie and it's cooking in the oven, smells delicious! I used saffron instead of food coloring, also to add some more flavor as I could not find bergamot orange.

On another thread, we discussed that prices at Good Will had gone up so much. I commented that I had noticed that the stores seem to be in the more affluent areas of my town of 1 million people. I am in Florida now and have noticed the same thing. The stores are large, look new, are in strip shopping centers on busy highways. Haven't been in one but I would bet the prices are a lot more than they used to be | |||
I'm in FL now for a couple months and one of my favorite things to do the past two years has been going to Goodwill to find things I could make over to fit into my decor back home. I stopped going. Last time I went on a Tuesday (25% Sr. Discount) I picked up a lampshade to repaint -- as I was standing in line to pay I saw the "restrictions" sign -- if it has a green, purple, white or pink sticker, it does not qualify for the discount. What? What else was left in the store that DID qualify for the discount? I did not even bother to ask, as the lamp shade had a green sticker on it. I just put it on the counter and left. The previous week I was looking for an inexpensive large cooking spoon -- just something my rental was lacking and something that would last for the two months I am here. Goodwill had one -- $1.75. I went across the street to Walmart and got one for $1.29 that is serving my purpose just fine. I do plan to write "someone", not sure who just yet, about the prices. I'm a firm believer that if they don't know there are dissatisfied customers, they won't do anything to accommodate them. | ||||
I have to admit, I am a GW jun kie. If I am in a new place, and it's possible to stop and check it out, then I will be there! My DH still laughs at the time we left Orlando and came home on the back roads and hit the GW of every town we went through- and I still have the blue willow dishes from that trip! I've seen them all from small shabby GWs, to the GW "super stores" in big shopping center in well to do areas. And the prices run the gamut too. Surprisingly, some of those in the big, well to do areas will have lower prices than those in smaller areas. Who knows how they figure out their pricing? I just know that I love to shop at them and I'll continue. If I think they are overpriced, I'll just leave, and head down the road to the next one! | ||||
I hadn't noticed the prices as much as I don't seem to find good items as some of you do. Ours seem to have a lot of junk. Strings Friends divide our sorrows and multiply our joys. | ||||
I love to dig through thrift stores, and I have noticed a huge inconsistency in pricing. I think of it as part of the game. I only buy things that I think are a great deal. | ||||
Interesting how prices vary in GW. When I lived in Michigan we had a great one, that wasn't in a very good area of town. But the prices there were amazing and lots of things came in weekly from retail stores with tags still attached. Now I am in KY. Been to plenty of GW's here and the prices are high and I don't understand that. This is a little bitty town.??? And here mostly I see clothing not household items. I miss being able to get a bargain. We do however have a several good thrift shops and some nicely priced antique stores. Garage sales here...they don't mark their items, so when you ask the price they tell you any price that comes into their heads. LOL. I have actually heard them tell a customer one price and then I ask and they say something different. Still I keep going! Never know when you might find the deal of a lifetime. | ||||
they usually have bread makers when I go. Picked one up for $5. I just went on line and found the instruction manual. Some had them inside. I had read some reviews so I knew what mfrs to stick with. I figured Panasonic was safe. And I've had a DAK for 15 years or so so I knew that brand. Anyone else find them in their stores? | ||||
We're in the midwest. Our larger community has added MORE GW stores. I've noticed prices are going up. Prices DO vary store to store. Fortunately, GW is NOT the only thrift shops around. I have also noticed when regular stores go out of business....merchandise appears in GW stores. I asked about this. The answer was the stores/individuals are getting tax breaks for making donations of new items to GW stores. LOVE asking questions and gathering info. | ||||
We donate a lot of kids' clothes and toys to our GW, and I sometimes want to say, "Please don't charge a lot for these!" We bring them there so people who need them can get them, not just so they can make a profit. I realize their profits go to charity, but I also think that the stores should serve people who need clothes and toys for $0.25. Sigh... | ||||

Ok, after some of the comments in some of the threads here I'm a little currious about something. How many officers were politicians before and during the war. I'm not talking they had been politicians when the war began, gave their seat up temporarily to serve in the army, then got re-elected after their enlistment period was up or they resigned. I'm talking they were still serving as an elected offical at the same time they were serving in the army. Clint Johnson mentions in Civil War Blunders that Edward D Baker was still serving as a Senator for the state of Oregon even while serving as a Colonel in the army. It's pointed out that at the time a general's commision meant Congressmen had to give up their seats and that Baker wasn't ready to do that. He also states that Baker often came into Senate sessions straight from the field where he made a big show of being an active duty officer before his fellow senators. I don't know. I mean it was a different time and all, but to me I personally think that no matter the rank senators and representatives should have been forced to give up their seats in order to accept a commision . |

Extra Billy Smith was running for political office during the Gettysburg campaign if I'm correct. Because he wasn't trusted by Ewell/Early, Gordon was sent with him to investigate a potential union threat to the east on the first day of Gettysburg thus a potential reason for the confederates not taking Culps hill that night.

Robert Toombs was in the Confederate Congress and was the second choice for President after Jeff Davis. He was sent back to civilian life after Antietam, although he did a respectable job holding of the 9th Corps at Burnside's Bridge. |

But did Logan serve DURING the war while he was also an officer in the Federal army. The same for Toombs and the Confederate Army. I'm finding that Toombs was the Sec State of the Confederacy and he resigned to join the army. |

Hellcat- The answer to the question of whether or not General Logan served in the U.S. Army when he was also a Congressman (Democrat from Illinois) depends on what date he resigned his Congressional seat. There seems to be conflicting information about when that took place. This source says that General Logan resigned his seat in the spring of 1861. That would be before raising the 31st Illinois Volunteers ( The regiment was mustered into federal service on 18 September 1861) and being commissioned a colonel. (And before fighting at First Manassas as a civilian volunteer two months earlier). General John A. Logan If this source is correct, then General Logan was not a Congressman and an Army officer at the same time. But then when you read his Congressional biography, it says that he resigned his seat in Congress in April of 1862. If that is true, then he was still a Congressman after organizing the 31st Illinois Volunteers and serving as its colonel. It would mean that he was still a member of Congress when he fought at Belmont and Ft. Donelson, and that he only resigned from Congress after being made a BG, USV in March of 1862. LOGAN, John Alexander - Biographical Information To confuse the matter further, this source says that General Logan fought at First Manassas as a civilian in July of 1861, then resigned from the Congress before raising the 31st Illinois two months later. If this is true, then he was not a Congressman and an Army officer at the same time. John A. Logan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So, different sources give at least three different dates for the resignation of General Logan's Congressional seat. The answer to the question depends on what the actual date of resignation was. Obviously, at least two of the ones given here are wrong. Last edited on Tue Aug 20th, 2013 04:12 am by Texas Defender |

There was no set form for such pieces; indeed, as in this case, they could begin in one key and end in another. People expected a slow introduction, a set of variations, and a fast winding-up at the finish, but the rest was up to the composers whim. Moscheles begins with a quiet orchestral prelude; in the ornate piano section that follows, dotted rhythms of a vaguely Scottish character are prominent. Then, still in the opening key of B flat, the piano gently states the first explicitly Scottish tune, Kelvin Grove. A variation follows, with the tune begun by the string basses and passed around the orchestra as the piano develops its own motive. After an orchestral interlude the piano begins a second, more animated variation. A coda follows, then a modulation to D major, to be the home key from now on. The nostalgic song Auld Robin Gray is heard; the pianos development of the melody becomes increasingly ornate, finally dissolving into a free cadenza. Then a forceful beat begins, suggesting distant marching soldiers, and leads directly into Lord Moiras Strathspey. Moscheles may not have known that Lord Moira (17541826) had been a popular commander-in-chief in Scotland, and then, as Marquis of Hastings, Governor-General of India. A strathspey is a slow dance similar to a reel, with a low strain of four bars (repeated) followed by a high strain (also repeated). Rather than variations, Moscheles follows this tune with development, leading through various keys and including a triumphant orchestral rendering of the tune. Over the drumbeat rhythm Auld Robin Gray reappears; then, after a pause on the dominant, a rapid version of Kelvin Grove on the piano starts the brief, brilliant finale.

Probably Shouldn't Listen to Me
I think these shoes have been discontinued but they are my best friend's absolute favorite pair of climbing shoes for bouldering and sport climbing. We were stoked to find these on Moosejaw and probably should have bought a second pair. La Sportivas are the best. Great toe box and edging.
I liked this shoe so much that I had a seamstress add extra fabric to the straps. It wasn't pretty but it fit my big stupid feet. These shoes were amazing. I wore them until the toe split on both shoes and I couldn't edge anymore. They are sticky amazing and they break in nicely. I could wear these for an hour or two at the climbing gym. I can't say enough about this shoe.
They edge ok but not great, they have not worn very well, they are only slightly uncomfortable, they are reasonably sticky. Overall they are just ok. I have since upgraded to the Miuras and I wish I would have purchased them from the start.
I bought these shoes after wearing through my Muiras. I got them in the same size (I wear women's 8 street shoe, and got 38.5 in Muiras), but the fit was totally different. It was WAY more comfortable, little to no break in time, but the leather ended up stretching a lot more than I expected, and the heel was really deep. The extra space in the heel makes hooking more difficult. So these shoes are not very aggressive, but they are fairly sensitive and comfortable addition to my arsenal.
These shoes are comfortable, but make sure you try them on first. After trying on around 10 pairs of shoes, I decided these fit my foot the best. I normally wear a size 12 and downsized to a size 42.5 which was painful at first, but now after they have been broken in they fit great. They are comfortable to wear in the gym and on rock and they stick like glue.
got this shoe a couple months ago, so still in the beginning of our relationship, but so far they are getting the job done. used mainly for bouldering so far, they've performed well. I'm a sz 12 st shoe and went with a 44.
I'm a fan of the 5.10 Anasazi great edging power; the gym clearing smell of the shoes, I'm not so psyched on. The Katanas are a lot like the Anasazis: flat last, sensitive yet firm rubber, a great pointed toe for pockets, and a suction-like heal. They're also leather, which means good bye stank! The last-same as the TC Pros-is a little narrower than that of the Anasazi. The result: outside toes are a little more curled, pushing my big toe up against the inside of my shoe. If the Anasazi's a little wide, try these. They aren't perfect. I am more hesitant to smear, perhaps due to the slightly more aggressive toe curl. And the heal cups feel a little less secure when hooking than the Anasazi.
I'm really into multi-pitch, and my go-to shoe for moderates is the Mythos. But sometimes the route is simply too much for them, with tiny little edges that my (three-times-resoled) Mythos can't seem to find. This is when I pull out my Katanas. They're aggressive enough to keep you edging on the steep stuff without breaking your foot in half as if you're one of those smelly boulderers.The velcro pads on the shoe are large enough so you can crank the straps multiple ways, allowing for different shaped feet. The uppers are made from a material that doesn't hold odor like other shoes, and they go on and off like a dream.This is a great shoe.
Spend the extra money and get the miuras. They climb better and in my opinion are more confortable.
They fit nice and the velcro is great for popping them on and off. I just wish the toe edge were a bit better. They're a great shoe and all but don't really feel more aggressive than my Mythos. I probably shoulda gone with the Miura.
This shoe has progressed my climbing skills to where I am today. This was the third pair of shoes that I've owned and the only La Sportivas, and they are by far my favorites. The Katanas are a great gym shoe, but are just aggressive enough to do some of my favorite projects at the crag. The Vibram rubber is top notch and after a year of hard use the toes are finally starting to wear just a little. They do not turn my feet yellow, they are comfortable strapped or otherwise, and will definitely be resoled when the time comes.

February 7, 2013
MARTIN, Tenn. – David and Meghan Corvin, new to Tennessee, joined their local chapter of the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) as a way to make friends and meet others with similar interests. They did not anticipate, years later, winning national recognition for their work.
"It quickly became something we were very passionate about – becoming involved and making sure the community understands the importance of agriculture," Meghan explained.
After winning state-level recognition for their regional leadership activities in September 2012, the Corvins were named one of three runners-up for the Young Farmers and Ranchers Excellence in Agriculture Award at the AFBF's 94th annual meeting on Jan. 13-15 in Nashville. This award "recognizes those young farmers and ranchers who do not derive the majority of their income from an agricultural operation, but who actively contribute and grow through their involvement in agriculture, their leadership ability and participation in Farm Bureau and other organizations," according to an AFBF report. All the runners-up received a Case IH Farmall 45A and $3,000 in cash and STIHL merchandise.
The Dresden couple is involved in a variety of local and regional leadership activities, including volunteering with local chapters of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) and 4-H youth development organization, sponsoring a youth league girls' softball team and hosting a variety of events to bring children in contact with agriculture. They also raise pumpkins for agritourism and sell them through Tractor Supply Company, directing a portion of the proceeds back into the Obion County 4-H program. "Ninety-eight percent of the population lives off of a farm with only two percent raising the food that this country consumes," said David. "So it's important that we develop young leaders in agriculture to make sure that that is in place for future generations to raise the food," Meghan added. "It's a matter of national security as well. America's got the safest food of any country, and the standards by which we raise our livestock and animals are at a higher standard than any other nation."
The Corvins also stress community awareness "about the policies and procedures we use to raise the food, that the public knows about the procedures and practices we use, not just in a business sense, but as something that the American farmer or rancher takes pride in."
David, a technical advisor at Tyson Food Inc. in Obion County, is highly involved in the plant's community outreach programs, which include feeding crowds of up to 6,000 annually during community feeds at the Soybean and Corn Festivals. He is also involved in the Tennessee Poultry Association.
Meghan coaches the NCAA equestrian team at the University of Tennessee at Martin and serves on the National Collegiate Equestrian Association's executive committee to help develop the sport at the NCAA level.
David holds two associates degrees from Virginia Tech, one in agriculture business and the other in agriculture management. Meghan earned her Bachelor of Science in animal and poultry science from Virginia Tech and her Master of Science in animal science industry, with an emphasis in education, from Kansas State University.
"This wouldn't be possible if they didn't have programs like the Young Farmers and Ranchers Programs for individuals who want to continue on past the FFA or 4-H level," said David. "This has been a really great program that has helped us a lot on our own farm at home as well as interacting with the community, through the public relations training and everything else we've had, the leadership training and the development that we've had through working with the Farm Bureau."
CUTLINE: David (right) and Meghan Corvin were named one of three runners-up for the Young Farmers and Ranchers Excellence in Agriculture Award at the American Farm Bureau Federation's 94th annual meeting. The couple is pictured with their daughter, Molly.

Happy With My New Crocs
I wear an 8 and ordered an 8 and they fit fine. (I also ordered an 8 in another Waveseeker style and they were just a bit too short). I like the way these look and feel. I bought them for an upcoming vacation. I think they'll be comfy on the plane, lightweight in a backpack, and good in the water. The sole seems a bit thin - not nearly as thick as classic Crocs - so I'm not sure how long they will last or how good they will feel walking on the street (or sidewalk) all day. However, that said, I really do like them and may just order another color.

almost true to size.
I wear a size 5 1/2, so size 6 Crocs is almost always my size. I just got these in the mail today and they are way too big around my heel but very tight on the top of my foot, and I have small feet. I really like these because (other then being right on the top of my foot) these were super comfortable!! but the third time I walked out of them in a 30 minute span with socks was when I knew I needed to return them for a smaller size.

Once school officials discovered the possibility of fraud concerning money missing from the elementary school's general fund, the case was turned over to the local sheriff's department. They then sent the case to the GBI.
Calhoun County School Board officials have confirmed that there is an ongoing investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation looking into money that's missing from the Calhoun County Elementary School. Superintendent Danny Ellis says an internal audit began last Wednesday and spilled over into Thursday.
Calhoun County School Board Chairman Alvin Williams says there's a substantial amount of money missing.

Waterproof gloves

best is the ability to use hands, fingers--as opposed especially to mittens

worth their weight in gold
By margaret the horse nut.
from N.S Canada
I use these gloves when I go to the stables in the morning and after breaking the ice in the buckets I scoop the ice out and finally do not have frozen, wet hands and gloves at the end of it. These are my second pair and they really are worth every penny.
Definitely Waterproof!
By Wingy
from Manitoba, Canada
My fingers are always cold in the winter and unfortunately they still are even in these gloves, but the waterproof aspect is excellent. I frequently have to break ice off the top of a water bucket on our farm and even after punching through the ice and having my hands totally immersed in cold water, my hands stay dry. I totally recommend them!
my husband loves these gloves!
By Ed
from Anacortes, wa.
use for kayaking. It feels great!
Terribly dissappointed
By Molean
from Southfield, MIchigan
I work outside on planes. Hands were dry but freezing when the glove got wet. It is not as advertised.
Feels exactly as stated in the catalogue

Helps with freezing water
By ET the Poolman
from Phoenix,Az
These gloves kept my hands mostly dry during the freezing weather we experienced in Phoenix lately.But my fingertips inside were wet and not much insulation for them.
Weird shape
By AspenAndie
from Aspen, CO
These gloves are huge, not a normal Large, and the pinky fingers resemble cacti. There good for a laugh, that's about it!
The gloves were a gift to my son- in-Law

(AP) -- KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Kansas City police are reminding residents it's illegal to shoot firearms to celebrate the New Year's holiday or any other holiday. An 11-year-old Kansas City girl was killed by celebratory gunfire on July 4th, 2011. Blair Shanahan-Lane died after she was hit by a shot fired into the air some distance away. Kansas City police say in a release that it's illegal to fire a gun in the city limits any day of the year and that they received calls about nearly 150 shots over the last New Years' Eve holiday. Police say officers will arrest anyone caught shooting a firearm into the air. Chief Darryl Forti also says residents should be able to celebrate the holiday safely without fear of being hit by a stray bullet.

At the Chicago Summit in May 2012 – echoing a key point made in the 1997 Charter – NATO heads of state and government stressed that "an independent, sovereign and stable Ukraine, firmly committed to democracy and the rule of law, is key to Euro-Atlantic security." Marking the 15th anniversary of the 1997 Charter, they welcomed Ukraine's commitment to enhancing political dialogue and interoperability with NATO, as well as its contributions to NATO-led operations.
Allied leaders declared at Chicago that NATO is ready to continue to develop its cooperation with Ukraine and assist with the implementation of reforms in the framework of the NATO-Ukraine Commission and the Annual National Programme.
However, noting the principles and commitments enshrined in the Charter and Ukraine's Annual National Programme with NATO, Allied leaders expressed their concerns about the rule of law in Ukraine and called on the government to address the existing shortcomings of its judicial system. They also encouraged Ukraine to ensure free, fair and inclusive parliamentary elections in October 2012.
The Allies respect Ukraine's policy of "non-bloc" status and the current Ukrainian government has declared its intention to maintain the country's strong level of cooperation with the Alliance. At Chicago, Allied leaders recalled that NATO's door remains open to Ukraine, in line with the decision taken at the Bucharest Summit in April 2008, when Allied leaders agreed that Ukraine may become a NATO member in the future. Ultimately, it is up to the Ukrainian people and their elected leaders to determine the country's future path with NATO.
Dialogue and cooperation between NATO and Ukraine has become well-established in a wide range of areas. In particular, Ukraine has proved to be an important contributor to Euro-Atlantic security in the framework of NATO-led operations.
Another important aspect of relations is the support given by NATO and individual Allies for Ukraine's ongoing reform efforts, particularly in the defence and security sectors. These reforms are vital for the country's democratic development.

The growing interdisciplinary nature of business and increased regulatory changes are fueling the demand for qualified risk managers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that employment for financial managers — including, risk managers who assess insurance and investment exposure — will grow 8% by 2018. Opportunities will be greatest for professionals with advanced degrees. You can prepare for these opportunities through two master's degree programs at St. John's University — the Master's of Science Degree Program in Management of Risk and the Master's of Science Degree Program in Enterprise Risk Management. Offered by The Peter J. Tobin College of Business's School of Risk Management, the programs prepare students to plan, organize and manage financial, operational, and strategic risks to preserve and enhance corporate value. Both programs are fully accredited by the prestigious AACSB International – the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The Tobin College of Business was among the first schools of business to be awarded this accreditation and is one of only 3% of all business schools worldwide to hold this distinction. Classes for this program are offered on Manhattan campus and through our Online Learning format.Program Descriptions:
MS in Management of Risk - This program has a special focus on insurance as a tool of risk management but the broader goal of the program is to enable its graduates to finance corporate risk, within the realities of the firm's environment, in a way that preserves/enhances firm value. Students requiring prerequisite material may be admitted, on a provisional basis. For more information, please visit the MS in Management of Risk page.
MS in Enterprise Risk Management - The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program is a risk-based approach to management. With a special focus on the identification of the financial consequences of business opportunities and their associated hazards, the approach involves the proactive management of the enterprise to protect and create value for their stakeholders. The program focuses on the tools to identifying strategic directions and the particular events or circumstances relevant to the organization's objectives (risks and opportunities) associated with alternative strategies; to assess the risks and opportunities in terms of the frequency and severity of impact, to plan for or the determination of a subsequent financial or strategic response, and to monitoring the progress of the enterprise.
The program involves a collaborative effort by the School of Risk Management and the departments of Accounting, Finance, and Management of the Tobin College of Business. Students requiring prerequisite material may be admitted, on a provisional basis. For more information, please visit the MS in Enterprise Risk Management page.
MBA Program - A Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is intended to provide broad business knowledge and prepares students for cross-functional decision making within an organization. A risk/insurance specialization is earned by successfully completing an introductory course – Management of Risk (RMI 601) – and up to four (but no less than three) other RMI designated 600-level courses (or higher). This specialization allows students to build upon the program's broad business education by providing an in-depth study of managing risk, or managing the finances of an insurance firm, or product design. Suggested paths include: Management of Risk (RMI 604, 605, and 614); or Insurance Financial Management (RMI 604, 605, and at least one of 609/610).
For admission to these graduate programs contact: Office of Graduate Admissions, Tobin College of Business E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: (718) 990-1345 Please see our complete course descriptions in The Peter J. Tobin College of Business graduate bulletin.

American wins Miss Universe
Rhode Island's Olivia Culpo wins title in Las Vegas
For the first time in 15 years, an American has won the Miss Universe pageant.
Olivia Culpo, 20, of Rhode Island, donned the coveted tiara Wednesday night.
She teared up as other contestants placed the crown on her head during the televised event in Las Vegas.
"What an honor! This night was a dream come true. Thank you everyone for your support tonight!! USA finally did it," Culpo posted on her official Twitter page later.
Culpo beat out 88 other contestants. Miss Philippines, Janine Tugonon, came in second.
She won the Miss USA crown in June in part by emphasizing the importance of music education. A cellist for 13 years, Culpo has performed at Boston Symphony Hall and Carnegie Hall in New York City.
An American has not won the beauty pageant since 1997, according to organizers.
Last year's winner was Leila Lopes of Angola.
