My niece has worn cloth since her very first diaper. She weighed 8lbs 10oz at birth and is now 7 weeks old and over 10lbs. She wears CPFs with a flushable liner, snappi to keep closed and a ME extra small rikki wrap. For the first week when she still had her cord, my sister would fold down the front of the cover to keep it out of the way.
She'll start wearing her ME OS dipes as soon as they're not quite so bulky.
So far cloth diapers are great. We haven't mastered it completely though and she'll sometimes leak poop down her leg (almost always the left leg...) but in the end, even the inconvenience of having to toss a poopy sleeper in with the diaper laundry... well, it's not all that bad.

The Sydney Opera House has long been an art lover's dream. Apart from the fantastic professional artistic performances in music, visual arts and other genres that occur within the Sydney Opera House, the Opera House itself is an architectural wonder, having been designed and built by famed Danish architect Jørn Utzon. In 2003, Utzon even received a prestigious Pritzker Prize, partly for his work on the Sydney Opera House.
This year, however, art-lovers can ca happy because Opera Has a New Home in Sydney!! That is because this year, for three weeks starting March 24, Handa Opera on Sydney Harbor: La Traviata will take place over the water of Sydney Harbor on a floating stage. The project cost $11.5 million to produce, with over 130 performers and 240 Opera Australia staff members. The stage is backlit by the Sydney skyline, and features a dazzling chandelier made from Swarovski crystal.
The Guardian has hailed this event as the "world-wide #1 opera event of 2012." Lat Traviata is directed by United States director Francesca Zambello and stars Australian sopranos Emma Matthews and Rachelle Durkin in the role of Violetta, and Italian tenor Gianluca Terranova and Korean tenor Ji-Min Park as Alfredo.

I remembered the Rogue scene and looked it up. The scene is there, and Storm's line is Claremont, but I think all of Xavier's dialogue was rewritten by Remender, I mean he says basically the same thing, but the words are different.

- make this recipe
- user reviews ()
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 12 cups thinly sliced, peeled, cooking apples, such as Fuji or Granny Smith (4 pounds)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons rum or frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
- 1 Pastry for Double-Crust Pie
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup margarine or butter
- 1/3 cup broken pecans
- 1/2 cup light-colored corn syrup
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
1. In a Dutch oven combine the 3/4 cup water and the 3 tablespoons sugar. Bring to boiling over medium-high heat; add the apples and the cranberries. Cover and cook for 4 minutes, stirring once. Drain well in a colander.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine the 3/4 cup sugar, the flour, nutmeg, and rum or apple juice concentrate. Add apple mixture; toss gently to combine. Set mixture aside while preparing the pastry. Move oven rack to lowest setting. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
3. Prepare Pastry for Double Crust Pie (below). On a lightly floured surface roll half of the dough into a 12-inch circle. Wrap the pastry around rolling pin; unroll onto a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry.
4. Stir fruit filling to distribute spices, flour, and sugar evenly. Spoon into the pastry-lined pie plate. Trim pastry to edge of pie plate. On a lightly floured surface roll remaining dough into a 12-inch circle. Cut slits for steam to escape. Place on top of fruit filling. Trim top crust to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold top pastry under bottom pastry. Crimp edge as desired. Brush top with a mixture of beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water. To prevent overbrowning, cover the edge of pie with foil.
5. Place pie on a cookie sheet to catch any drips. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes more or until the top is golden. Cool on a wire rack.
6. In a medium skillet melt margarine or butter. Add broken pecans. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until the pecans are lightly toasted. Carefully add corn syrup, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water (mixture may splatter when the syrup comes in contact with the hot pan). Cook and stir with wooden spoon until bubbly and the brown sugar is dissolved. Add whipping cream. Bring mixture to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, over low heat for 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Serve pie slightly warm or at room temperature with warm sauce. Makes 8 servings.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 7 - 8 tablespoons water
1. In a bowl stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until pieces are pea size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to side of bowl. Repeat using 1 tablespoon cold water at a time until all the dough is moistened (6 to 7 tablespoons total). Divide dough in half. Form each half into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, flatten 1 dough ball. Roll from center to edges into a 12-inch circle. To transfer pastry, wrap it around the rolling pin; unroll into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry. Fill as above. roll remaining dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Continue as above.

Let's be up front about it. Through the introduction of disease and competition, this widespread, non-native squirrel has driven our native red squirrel out of much of its traditional range in the UK. It is primarily for this reason that they are often disliked but, as a common visitor to gardens, many people enjoy their presence.
The resourceful grey squirrel shares a habit with our native species, storing seeds and nuts in the ground for hard times in winter. This has the unintentional result of keeping the earth fecund for the spring when forgotten seeds germinate.
Their less welcome habit of eating birds' eggs and chicks has led some to believe that grey squirrels may be implicated in the decline of some woodland bird species. However, at the moment there is little evidence to suggest that this is the case.
As a nipper the sight of these rodents was a treat because I almost never saw wild mammals. While their increasing abundance has taken away some of this excitement, I still can't help but look up when I hear their squeaky voice and a rustle of leaves over head.
It is helpful for us to get a better understanding of how many of these mammals there are in the UK and where they occur. They are part of Make Your Nature Count so be sure to get involved and let us know if they're in your area before 10 June.

Bellevue >
Food & Dining > Crabpot RestaurantMon. - Thu., Sun. 11am - 9pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 10pm
Neighborhoods: Wilburton
Great time had by all! – Despite what Kittynana has to say, when I brought a large group to this location of the Crab Pot, we have excellent service, attentive staff and a great time all around! The food was nice and hot and stayed that way thru the meal, the drinks were perfect, and best of all, the server was attentive and thought ahead to our needs but was not assuming or annoying...the best of all worlds. Con: The directions that I got offline were difficult to follow and I got turned around once but that is not the fault of the restaurant!
Kids will love it because they can hit the food, it is a finger place and they give you bibs...kids at heart will love it for all the same reasons plus their moderatly priced drinks, who could ask for a better place for a fun night out?
Dissapointed – A group of 6 of my co-workers went here for lunch. We arrived at 11:30 and nobody was there. The table we were seated at was dirty and the person who seated us didn't even take the time to clean it. We had to wait a long time for our food. Just as were were about to say something the food arrived at 12:20! Everyone complained that their food was cold. My veggies were like ice and my coconut shrimp was luke warm. My other co-workers fish and chips were cold, the fish tacos were cold and the beans that came with them were not warm at all. The onion rings were cold, the other shrimp dish was cold. Why the food was cold after waiting for 50 minutes is beyond me. The manager did apologize and gave us a gift certificate for the amount we spent. Not impressed.
Bring a bib because you're in for a "seafeast." – The Scene
Decor is nautical, with red-and-white tablecloths and stained glass. It's cavernous, seating more than 300. Exposed beams and rafters hold the ceiling well above red-and-white checked tablecloths and dark oak floor. Sweeping windows afford everyone a water view, and a deck allows warm-weather outdoor dining.
The Food
Order for two or more from several combinations of the "seafeasts" and prepare for vigorous dining. Servers hand over bibs, spill the bounty onto a butcher paper-topped table, point out the paper towel dispenser and hand out mallets. Various combos include lobster; king, snow and Dungeness crab; clams and mussels; salmon and halibut; andouille sausage for variety; plus red potatoes and corn on the cob, mainly for show. The kitchen grills fish like salmon and ahi to medium-rare perfection over mesquite.
Be a kid! – This place is very casual and fun. Be a kid and eat with your hands if you have to. Food is good, so are wine and beer. Just relax and enjoy. And by the way - it is a good value, if you go to Ivar's you will get just 3 pieces of deep fried fish for $6. So $22 for their "Pacific Clambake" with all the goodies is a steal. Here it is fresh and variety is great. Also, go to Bellevue location. It is newer and better looking.
P.S. Can't argue with "knowitall" below , I do not know and don't want to know how his/her grandmother's skin looks and tastes.
Darling, Fun, Happy and Tasty! – That just about sums it up.. and perhaps "Value"! More bang for your hard earned buck then most Seafood places with the pretension or over-charged under-portioned food! There are the smaller places, more fast food places, which have the same prices, without the choices of this place. I have hosted dinner parties in their banquet room, and had had excellent service as well as quiet dinners with the bib and hammer! All-in-all, a good value, beautiful location on the man-made lake and if you like Seafood. well you should find this place a Whale of the Deal Ishmael
If you like to make a mess... – If you dont mind eating mostly with your hands and making a big mess, this is the place to be. Food ranges from acceptable to great, and service is decent. Kids are pretty comfortable in this laid back establishment. Portions are good on meals, and HUGE at dessert (hint: plan to share). This place is always an experience.
Can't say it was good – Went to the Bellevue location for lunch. Food was cold, corn resembled my grandma's skin after being in the sun all day and was way overcooked. Overall, it was overpriced and bland. Will not go back.

#1 posted 670 days ago |
I think they are have equal values between the both of em. I guess, I am privileged, cuz I have em both. My table saw is a '50's model Craftsman that I bought from a friend, but, my bandsaw, (Powermatic), I purchased new quite a few years ago. Like I said, I'm sure I use them both equally.

Have you ever participated in an art festival or craft fair as an exhibitor and worried about preparation and all the items you need to bring along? Today I've prepared a list of items you should consider packing, along with some general tips on your attire in preparation for your next event. Even seasoned pros forget the essentials from time to time, so "making a list and checkin' it twice" is a handy habit for you to get into before you leave for an event to avoid scrambling at the last minute for something you've left behind.
Here's an initial list, which you can adjust as needed to fit your craft:
- Packaging: Bags, Tissue Paper, Bubble Wrap, Product Tags
- Cash: Make sure to have small bills ($1's, $5's & 10's)
- Money Box or Waist Apron
- Credit Card Machine (if you have one)
- Laptop (if necessary to track inventory or manage your sales)
- Any Display Items: (i.e.: boxes for vertical displays, jewelry stands, hanging racks w/hooks)
- Tent or Canopy (if necessary and not already included in the cost of the event)
- Display Table(s) and Tablecloth(s) (if necessary and not already included in the cost of the event)
- Chair(s)
- Guest Log: It's nice to have a good quality notebook for people to provide their email addresses for you to gather their info for future promotions & product updates
- Shop Sign
- Store Policies Sign (i.e.: cash or check only, sorry no refunds or returns)
- Small Box of Office Supplies (scratchpad/notebook, pens/pencils, calculator, small stapler, scotch tape)
- Receipt Book
- Tools: Basic set of tools including a hammer, pliers, duct tape, screwdriver or Leatherman Multi-Tool
- Garbage Sacks
- Mirror(s): Stand alone or handheld if your items can be worn
- Your Products & Inventory List: Make sure you have enough stock to sell
- Copy of your Business License
- The Name and Phone Number of the Event Organizer
- Paper Towels & Glass/Surface Cleaner
- Food and Drinks: Snacks are best, things that you can easily set down or hide if a customer walks up (a small cooler works well)
- Sanitary Wipes: If you are selling jewelry, sanitary wipes or rubbing alcohol with wipes to clean off any items someone may have tried on
- Additional Lighting: If you are working indoors, consider if you will need additional lighting and if there are electrical outlets for you to use
- Camera: If necessary, you can take pictures of your displays and use the images to promote your events online
A great idea is to confirm which items are already provided at the event you are attending so you don't have to pack everything. So, I know some of these items may not apply to what you sell, but this list will get you on track to identify the items you can't live without when you head out for your next event.
And, for those of you like me that like to check-off your list, I've included a printable version of this list. Just click on the image below to download and print.
And finally, let's not forget about your attire for the event. First and foremost, wear comfortable shoes & comfortable clothes, but nothing too sloppy! If you are working outside, wear layers so you can adjust accordingly. Consider the weather and temperature. If it's cold, consider throwing in a blanket, gloves, and a hat. If it's hot, throw in some sunscreen and a cap. Also, you may want to throw in a backup outfit just in case. Last but not least, if you are selling items that can be worn, make sure to include them as part of your attire so that people can see what they look like on you!
Best of luck at your next event and let us know if you have any suggestions to add or improve the list!

About Me
- Saloma Furlong
- I am the author of the memoir "Why I Left the Amish." In February 2012, I was featured in the PBS documentary "The Amish" that aired on American Experience. I was born and raised in an Amish community in Ohio. Driven by my desire for freedom and more formal education, I broke away from my community –– not once, but twice. I graduated from Smith College in May 2007 with a major in German Studies and a minor in Philosophy. My education has included research on the Amish with Dr. Donald Kraybill and a semester abroad in Germany, where I studied at the University of Hamburg. During my thirty-year inner struggle of coming to terms with my Amish past, I have gleaned a better understanding of myself and my heritage. It is this perspective that I bring to my reflections about Amish.

I used to play with my younger brother, and several boys from the neighborhood. We were always in each other's houses or roaming for miles across the nearby common. Sometimes we'd only come home at mealtimes. I don't think that kind of freedom is possible now, not at that age anyway (7/8/9 years old).
Where we live now, there aren't many other children immediately nearby so we are forever driving our kids to friends' houses.- AnonymousFebruary 1, 2012 at 9:05 AM
I lived in Queens,NY as a child. I played on my stoop for hours on end with the neighborhood kids. We played stick ball, stoop ball, jacks,and freeze tag til our mothers called us in from apartment windows. It was a nice childhood,because people were more trusting and children could ring each others bells and ask if a friend could "come out and play."
Sometimes, I feel sorry for my daughter because her friends live far away and can't always come over. I won't let my daughter go to a friend's house unless I know the parents.

We used to play with other children who lived on our street. We had the only basketball hoop on the block--so the boys my age would come to shoot hoops. I also used to roller skate up and down the block for hours. Any of the girls with skates who wanted to would skate with me. Sometimes it was one or two others and other times it would be 5-6 girls racing each other.
Since more women went to work there has been a drop off of neighborhood children getting together to play outside. My kids used to because I was home until the youngest entered 1st grade. I would limit their TV and computer time and tell them to go outside and get some fresh air.
Love your photos--thanks for sharing!

I was raised on a farm in Lancaster County and our nearest neighbors shared a driveway with us. Our family was conservative Mennonite and the neighbors, Joe Beilers, were Old Order Amish. We would meet their children at the point where our property lines met. Our play was quite creative - horse and wagon, writing letters with poke berries and a feather, house with imaginary borders and much more. Their world was quite small. One summer we took a family trip to Texas. Their minds couldn't comprehend going that far since most of their travels were within a 15 mile radius by horse and buggy. They thought they had gone to the end of the earth when they made a weekend trip to an amish community near Williamsport which was 3 hours away by car.
ReplyDelete HI Saloma!
Love the pictures! All the neighborhood kids would play together. As little kids we would all gang up on the Waldron family and play in their garage .. they had an old Model A and we 'drove' that many places! We also put on summer variety shows in their garage or in mine ... complete with commercials. Charged our parents to come see us, too. HAHAHA!!!
We would practice our gymnastics in my front yard since it had the softest grass and every morning, the kids would meet in my back yard because I had a swing set. Several summers found us in my little back yard tent as members of "The Chums Club" where we would make things and tell stories and collect dues and have an end of summer party at somebody's house. We had hula hoop contests and we rode our bikes as far as our parents would let us (we lived in the country). We climbed trees. As we got older, we would visit each others houses to listen to records. Sandlot baseball was a favorite and the boys begrudgingly let us girls play because they needed us to make up two whole teams! It's been fun to think back on these things :-)
Our 3 boys had neighborhood fun, as well. There was a small creek that ran not far from our house and the boys were ALWAYS there unless the rest of the neighborhood was in our side yard. Next to the creek, it was "the" place to play. We had a "climbing tree" and a tire swing and a sand box that turned into a dirt pile, and finally a grave yard for toy soldiers ...that's a story for my blog someday!
Now, those kids are all grown up and are having little ones of their own!

Colossal Pictures Proves There is Life After Chapter 11
News stories about Disney are often read around
the world, but major news about lesser-known animation companies are generally
ignored by the national press. One important story that was treated this
way began to unfold in public on April 3, 1996, when a San Francisco
Chronicle story headlined, "Colossal Pictures to Lay Off Third
of Staff." This item was followed by rumors that the company, one
of the mainstays of the local animation industry with a staff of about
130, had given pink slips to 40, 80, 100, and even 120 people.
In June, the Chronicle ran a second story noting that they had filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The rumor mill in the local film
community seemed to go out of control, and there was even talk that Colossal
was out of business. The company issued press releases explaining what
had happened, but it appears the writers at several trade magazines didn't
read them. Instead, they continued to run stories that suggested things
at Colossal were bigger and better than ever.
Colossal Pictures, founded in 1976, became well
known in the 1980s for its innovative design work. They pioneered the "Blendo"
look that featured a mixture of different animation techniques in the same
commercial. Often live-action footage or photo montage was included along
with stop-motion, cel animation, drawn images and other techniques. They
also developed the Liquid Television and Aeon Flux shows
for MTV and are known for their music video productions for The Grateful
Dead, Bobby McFerrin, Primus, The Kronos Quartet, Peter Gabriel, and other
stars. Their feature work includes titles for such films as The Black
Stallion, Peggy Sue Got Married, andBram Stoker's Dracula. They
did special effects for The Right Stuff, Top Gun, Demolition Man
and Running Man. In addition, they provided animated sequences for
Natural Born Killers and Tank Girl.
Today, Colossal has undergone an extensive reorganization.
They consolidated their operations in one building (there had been four).
They now have around 40 people on staff, including a new CEO. And Drew
Takahashi, co-founder and chairman of the board states that, "We can
look forward to being out of Chapter 11 in 1997." Colossal eventually consolidated their activities
at their facility at 101 15th Street in San Francisco. Prior to doing so,
they had their ink and paint service in one building, the animation department
in another, the administrative office, a design department and other services
in a third, and stages, a model shop, a camera room and other facilities
at a forth location. Drew Takahashi says it was just too much to keep track
What Happened
The changes that occurred in 1996 were triggered by the rising costs of
doing business and a drop in the company's profits. The animation division
had become so large it was not only unwieldy to run, but it was also less
profitable than it had been in years past. It was decided that it was wiser
to restructure the company and concentrate on the development of well-written
and designed projects, rather than maintain all the facilities and staff
needed to execute animated, live-action, and special effects work. It was
especially difficult to maintain its high-tech computer facilities, which
require constant upgrades of equipment and software. It was decided that,
in the future, they would send the production of their animated and special
effects work out to other companies.
Just as important to the survival of Colossal as the downsizing of space
and staff were the changes made in the administration. Gary Gutierrez,
who co-founded the company with Takahashi,left to pursue his desires to
work as a filmmaker on feature productions, though he still remains a stockholder
and believer in Colossal's future. Takahashi has stepped aside as president
and CEO to become chief creative officer and chairman of the board of directors.
In December, Brooks McChesney was appointed president and CEO.

The Surrogates is a graphic novel that postulates a world in which we live vicariously through simulacra of ourselves to which we are connected cybernetically. Safe at home, we can work dangerous jobs without fear. A fireman's surrogate can dash into a flaming building to rescue its inhabitants without any fear of his actual body suffering damage. Someone walking down the sidewalk need not fear falling objects, or an out of control car lurching onto that sidewalk. If an accident occurs, only the surrogate will be damaged. Its human operator will remain, safe and sound, at home.
In this world, surrogates have become big business – an overwhelming majority of United States citizens either own a surrogate outright, or are buying one on credit terms. This is the world that writer Robert Venditti and artist Brett Weldele have created. On the surface, it seems like an ideal world – once dangerous jobs are now no riskier than doing a crossword puzzle; sexually transmitted diseases no longer bar us from experimenting as we please. Even vanity is swerved – one's surrogate can be specifically ordered to represent an idealized image of oneself.
There is, however, a problem. A figure in black is destroying surrogates. It has happened often enough that the police – and detectives Harvey Greer and Pete Ford – must find out what's happening, how it's happening, why it's happening, and then make sure it stops happening. Easy-peasy.
Only, it's not.
There are elements that believe the surrogates to be an abomination in the eyes of God [something about man putting himself above God] – but there doesn't seem to be any connection between that faction and the black clad destroyer of surrogates.
As their investigation proceeds, Greer's surrogate is damaged and he makes the decision to carry on the investigation in his real body [there's a nice bit of foreshadowing of this decision near the beginning of the story] – though both his partner and his wife try to talk him out of it.
From additional materials in the book, The Surrogates: Behind the Scenes, I gather that this is Robert Venditti's first attempt to write any form of comics. As debuts go, it's kind of like Jason Reitman's Thank You For Smoking. Not only do all the ducks line up in a row, they are particularly beautiful ducks.
The Surrogates is a meditation on being human. If one's mind occupies, through whatever means, a surrogate that can be destroyed without damaging its operator, is that combination of Human and machine still Human? Is removing unwanted/unnecessary pain from one's experience necessarily a good thing? If one experiences sensations of any kind through a remote simulacrum, is that experience, however real it might see, still a valid experience?
The anti-surrogate faction in the story is fanatically opposed such an idea. Its members live life in the human shell in which they were born – and preach that surrogates are evil. Venditti, through Greer's decision to work in his own body, suggests that these techno-terrorists just might be right.
Brett Weldele's art sets the tone for the book right from the cover. His art is messy, impressionistic and capable of bridging the simulated life of the surrogates and the organic life of their operators smoothly and bringing unique qualities to each. Like Venditti's story, Weldele's layouts are precise and appropriate to the plot. While his art has great impact, it never shows off – much like the surrogate-ized Greer. Even so, it pulls the reader in with its balance of over and understatement. It is compelling without feeling forced.
Originally serialized by publisher Top Shelf, the graphic novel collection includes peripheral printed matter that appeared at the end of each issue to add depth to the world of The Surrogates. These materials range from an article published by The Journal of Applied Cybernetics, to a typed record of a post-disaster interview, to promotional material describing the benefits of owning a surrogate – and how to choose the accessories you need.
There is also a gallery of covers that precedes the Behind the Scenes material, which takes us through the process of The Surrogates' creation – from script to layouts to finished work [including The Ad Campaign, and even a deleted scene]. Following the Behind the Scenes piece, there is a pin-up gallery that features work by Steve Lieber, Kieron Dwyer and Ben Templesmith, among others.

Isabel sat on the bench under an ancient oak for half an hour or more, but took no note of the time. In rural America one always seems to hear the whir of distant machinery and responds to its tensity in the depths of some nerve centre; but in England's open the tendency is to dream away the hours, the nerves as blunt as in the tropics; unless, indeed, one happens to be so astir within that one rebels in responding, and conceives of ultimate hatred for this incompassionate arrogant peace of England.
Isabel had been roused from her mood of unreasoning content by her contact with the older woman, but for a few moments her thoughts waved to and fro in that large tranquillity like pendent moss in a gentle breeze. There was a stir of life in the little village; a window was thrown open; a man came out to the pump and filled a bucket with water; a child cried for its breakfast; the birds were singing in the trees. But they barely rippled the calm. Isabel's eyes dwelt absently upon a white line along a distant hill-top, made, no doubt, by Cæsar's troops; for she had heard that the mosaic floors of Roman houses had been discovered under one of the fields in the neighborhood. This information, imparted by Lord Hexam's cousin, Mrs. Throfton, a lady interested in neither Bridge nor gossip, had not excited her as it might have done before her archæological experience at headquarters, but she was glad to recall it now, for that white road, sharply insistent in the surrounding green, was one of the perceptible vincula of history.
It was all old—old—old; an illimitable backward vista. And she was as new, as out of tune with it as the motorcar flashing like a lost and distracted comet along that hill-top in a cloud of historied dust: she with her problems, her egoisms, the fateful independence of the modern girl. In a fashion she was one of the chosen of earth, but she doubted if the women who had toiled in these villages, or in centuries past had lived their lives in the mansions of their indubious lords, had not had greater compensations than she. Unbroken monotony and a saving sense of the inevitable must in time create for the soul something of the illimitable horizon of the vast level spaces of the earth.
And she? At twenty-five she had lost her old habit of staring with veiled eyes into some sweet ambiguous future, her girlish intensity of emotion. But her theories, in general, were sound, and she had ticketed even her minor experiences. She knew that character was the most significant of all individual forces, and that if developed in strict adjustment to the highest demands of society, dragging strength out of the powers of the universe, were it not inborn, the book of one's objective future at least need never be closed prematurely by those inexorable social forces, which, whatever the weak spots on the surface of life, invariably place a man in the end according to his deserts. She had seen her father, with all his advantages of birth and talents, and early importance in the community, gradually shunned, shelved, dismissed from the daily life of steadier if less gifted men, almost unknown to the young generation. He had clung to certain strict notions of honor through it all, however, and at his death the county had experienced a spasm of remorse and attended his funeral; the sermon had been eloquent with masterly omissions, and even the newspaper that had vilified him in his days of political influence came out with an obituary, which, when included in some future county history, would give to posterity quite as good an impression of him as he deserved.
And James Otis had had his virtues. One of his claims to redemption survived in his daughter. He had reared her in the strict principles and precepts of his New England ancestors, many of which are generally more useful in the life of a man. This early instillation, taken in connection with himself as a commanding illustration in subcontraries, had given Isabel a directness of vision invaluable to a girl in no haste to place her life in stronger hands. Whatever her dissatisfactions and disillusions, her road lay along the upper reaches; the second rate, the failures from birth, the criminal classes, far below. Her start in life was indefectible, and she knew that did the necessity arise to-morrow she could support herself and ask no quarter.
Perhaps, she mused, she would be happier in the necessity, for the problem of roof and bread is an abiding substitute for the problem of what to do with one's life. But she had never known an anxious moment regarding the bare necessities, and although there was something pleasantly stimulating in the prospect of making a fortune and being able to live as she wished in the city of her birth—the only object for which she retained any passion in her affections—she smiled somewhat cynically at the modest outlook.
Environments like the present were uplifting, almost deindividualizing, and there had been a time when she had known seconds in the face of nature's surprises that were distinct spiritual experiences. She believed they would return when she was in her own land once more, and Europe a book of fading memories. Her love of beauty at least was as keen as ever, and now that Europe was off her mind, leaving the proper sense of surfeit behind it, no doubt she would have a sense of actually beginning life when the time came to take an active part in it, and she assumed a position of some importance in her own community. She was far too sensible for ingratitude, and fully appreciated the gifts that life had so liberally dealt her. And she fully believed in work as the universal panacea. The mere thought of a busy future brought a glow to her heart. She rose with a smile as Lady Victoria emerged from the cottage at the upper end of the village.
Lady Victoria was not smiling. Her brows were drawn, and she looked angry and contemptuous.
"The little idiot!" she exclaimed, as they started briskly for home. "This is the first failure I have had in ten years. That is one of my boasts. And I took particular pains with that girl. Now Jack will have the agreeable task of coercing the man into marrying her, for it appears that his ardor has cooled."
Her brow cleared in a few moments, but she seemed to have had enough of conversation, and it was evident that words for words' sake, or as a flimsy chain between signposts of genuine interest, had no place in her social rubric. Isabel, who was equally indifferent, strode along beside her without so much as a comment, and so confirmed the good impression she had made on her mettlesome relative. As they approached the house, Lady Victoria turned to her with a smile that brought sweetness to her eyes rather than any one of her more dazzling qualities.
"I am generally in my boudoir at five," she said. "Come in this afternoon for a chat before tea, if you have nothing better to do. Now run and get ready for breakfast."

Summer 2013
Beer-Baked White Beans
Who doesn't love baked beans? In summer, though, they can seem a bit heavy and out of place. To lighten this classic New England dish, here's a variation made with white beans and white beer.
At least eight hours ahead, brine the white beans as directed in Note below.
Melon, Arugula, Goat Cheese, and Pistachio Salad
Adapted from a recipe created by chef John Ash for Redwood Hill Farm creamery, this gorgeous summer salad has it all: sweetness, spice, tang, and texture.
Cottage Industry
For many of us, the term "cottage cheese" conjures images of glistening, snowy white curds nestled on leaves of iceberg lettuce and surrounded by slippery slices of canned peaches—a common "diet-smart" dish served in many American restaurants. For others this ubiquitous product is used as a cooking substitute for ricotta cheese. Rarely is cottage cheese embraced for its own qualities.
Petal Pushers
Gilding your cheeses with summer's edible petals not only gives them good looks, but also lends a nice little kick of flavor. And besides, it's fun and easy to do (a bit like playing dress-up with dairy!). So go ahead, unleash your flower power. Here are a few simple guidelines to get you started.
Stuffed Potatoes with Goat Cheese, Peppers, and Ham
For your next no-fuss brunch, try this hearty side dish that we adapted from the recipe files of French goat cheese maker Ile de France.
Bake the potatoes in their skins until tender. Set aside to cool.
Beer Ice Cream
This recipe is best with a malty beer that has a pretty high alcohol content—9 or 10 percent alcohol by volume (ABV). Avoid hoppy beers such as IPA because the hops bitterness is accentuated by cooking, while their more floral flavors are cooked away.
Frozen Lemon Chèvre Cookie Bites
These frozen filled lemony cookies—adapted from a recipe by Laura Chenel's Chèvre—melt quickly, so serve them promptly from the freezer. You can also forgo the cookies and simply spoon the mousse-like lemon curd and cheese mixture into individual serving bowls. Scatter fresh, seasonal berries on top for a party-worthy summer dessert.
Several hours or a day before serving, make the lemon curd: Heat a small pot of water, or a double boiler with water, to a simmer over medium-low heat.
Swapping Suds
In this golden age of American craft brewing, a trip to the corner store can yield a selection of tasty brews that would have been unimaginable even a decade ago. But while there's plenty of excellent beer around, a Californian wanting to try some Massachusetts-made suds will have a hard time finding them. At the same time, she may have easy access to some choice offerings that folks in the Northeast can't find.
Voicings - Sam Calagione
Sam Calagione is the founder and president of Dogfish Head brewery in Milton, Delaware. Calagione is a three-time James Beard Award finalist and a proud brewer of "off-centered ales for off-centered people."
"After college I moved to New York City and was taking some courses at Columbia . . . thinking about being a writer or a professor. To pay rent I worked at a Mexican restaurant and first-generation beer bar, and it . . . really opened my mind to how diverse and food-compatible a flavorful beer could be."
50 Shades of Cheese
I confess: Cheese is not my only passion. I'm a color junkie, too. From that first big box of crayons to midnight showings of Fantasia to Downton Abbey's rich décor, I've never been able to get enough. I follow color the way some people follow Brangelina. Martha Stewart's Araucana chicken-egg hues spark my imagination, as does color guru Donald Kaufman's custom-blended barn paint based on a green dumpster. Certainly, I'd find a use for that shade, too.
If inspiration indeed comes from anywhere, why not the cheese counter? I recall that scene in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House where Muriel tells the house painter, "If you'll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can't go wrong!"

The evening featured performances by DJ Don Cannon and rapper Meek Mill, and was attended by some of the top names in the music and entertainment industry, including Sidney Poitier, Jordin Sparks, Tyrese, Mary Mary, Kane Beatz, Marsha Ambrosius, Hit-Boy, NO ID, Clarence Avant, Wayne Brady, Warryn Campbell, and Kirko Bangz, among many others. Past ASCAP Songwriter of the Year recipients Kandi Burruss, Dave "Jam" Hall, Chad Hugo and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart were also in attendance to celebrate 25 years of Rhythm & Soul music.
The invitation-only event was sponsored by Rolling Out, an information source for urban lifestyle, breaking news and original stories. Rolling Out Publisher and Steed Media Group CEO Munson Steed led the room in a toast at the top of the ceremony to help celebrate the history of the Rhythm & Soul Awards and congratulate the evening's winners and honorees.
One of the evening's highlights was a special tribute to legendary music creator Quincy Jones, who was honored with ASCAP's Founders Award in recognition of his achievements as a producer, composer, entrepreneur and icon. To celebrate the legendary music mogul, Musical Director Michael Beardon led a tribute performance featuring Marsha Ambrosius and Tyrese, and surprise guest Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds shared some personal remarks and co-presented the award with ASCAP President and Chairman Paul Williams.
The ASCAP Founders Award is among the most prestigious honors that ASCAP gives to songwriters and composers who have made pioneering contributions to music by inspiring and influencing their fellow music creators. Past recipients include Sean "Diddy" Combs, Dr. Dre, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Ashford & Simpson, and Berry Gordy Jr. & Motown Industries.
Pioneering super-producer, songwriter and rapper Pharrell Williams was presented with ASCAP's Golden Note Award, which is given to songwriters, composers and artists who have achieved extraordinary career milestones. Past recipients include Mary Mary, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Jermaine Dupri, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, Quincy Jones, LL Cool J, New Edition and Lionel Richie.
The Songwriter of the Year award was presented to Canadian producer Noah "40" Shebib, who penned four of the most performed songs of the past year. 40 was honored for "Fall for Your Type" (by Jamie Foxx featuring Drake), "Headlines" (by Drake), "I'm On One" (by DJ Khaled featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne) and "Marvin's Room" (by Drake).
ASCAP Publisher of the Year honors went to EMI Music Publishing, which was honored for 18 award-winning songs. This is the 18th consecutive win for EMI and the 20thtime in the 25-year history of the awards show that they have received thishonor. ASCAP CEO John A. LoFrumento and ASCAP Vice President of Membership, Rhythm & Soul Nicole George presented the award to EMI's President of North American Creative Jon Platt and his creative team.
Top Song Awards went to Miguel's "Sure Thing" written by Happy Perez and Miguel Pimentel, which was named Top R&B/Hip-Hop Song, "Look At Me Now" by Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, which earned writers Jean-Baptiste Kouame II and Wesley Pentz the Top Rap Song award, and Kirk Franklin's "I Smile" written by James "Jimmy Jam" Harris and Terry Steven Lewis, which was named Top Gospel Song.

New Rochelle, N.Y. - Scott Machado had 14 points in leading Iona to his third straight with a 75-62 victory over UAlbany on Thursday, Dec. 17 at Hynes Athletic Center.
Iona (7-4) turned a five-point halftime lead into a double-figure margin in the opening minute of the final period. Mike McFadden scored before a steal led to Machado's three-point field goal. Still leading 55-45 with 14:53 remaining, the Gaels broke the game with 12 consecutive points. Trinity Fields, Jonathan Huffman and Rashard McGill each nailed a 3-pointer in that decision run. The Gaels shot 54.7 percent the field, the top mark by a UAlbany opponent this season.
"We didn't help ourselves in the second half," said UAlbany coach Will Brown, whose team committed 11 of its 17 turnovers after the break. "Their pressure wears on you and they are a good team. It took us eight seconds to get across the line, another nine seconds to identify whether it was man, matchup or zone, and then you have less time to attack the defense."
In the first half, each team shot a high percentage as Iona took a 41-36 lead to the break. UAlbany (4-8) wiped out an early 8-2 deficit behind the play of Will Harris, who had 16 of his 20 points in the opening period. Harris canned a three-point field goal to draw his team even at 12 apiece and another long-range jumper for a 17-12 margin.
The Great Danes, who shot 50 percent in the half, upped their advantage to 26-16 as Harris ended a string of seven unanswered with a 3-pointer from the right wing. The Gaels later countered with a run of eight straight to take a 30-28 lead on Machado's driving layup. After UAlbany's Brett Gifford scored in the lane, Iona broke the deadlock with 11 of the game's next 14 points. Jermel Jenkins ignited the outburst with a three-pointer from the right corner. Jenkins, a sophomore guard who came off the bench, added three more baskets that built the lead to 41-33. The Gaels were an impressive 61 percent from the floor, on 19-of-31 shooting, in the period.
"We handled things well in the first half, but then we were careless in the second half," explained UAlbany's Tim Ambrose, who totaled 14 points, six rebounds, four assists and a career-high six steals. "They made us pay for every mistake we made."
Iona's Jonathan Huffman, a 7-foot senior who transferred from Louisville, finished with nine points and six rebounds. Machado added six assists and five steals to his scoring total. The Gaels were coming off an 82-73 victory over Big East Conference member Providence on Dec. 12.
"It was an uptempo game with a lot of running," said UAlbany's Harris, whose team has lost five of its last six outings and seemed to slow down against the defensive pressure in the final period. "They have a lot of ball-screen action and the combination of all those factors makes you exert a lot of energy."

Some dudes over at hardspell have a nice table with the detailed specs of AMD/ATI latest R670 Chip. Read bellow for more info Article
sweet so you're sayin if I hijack a school bus full of kids and make them all kick behind it with flippers I can get to 47k in 3dmark 06?
dont see how it would be hat bad really i mean maybe drivers dont have the optimization because their not the radeon series "gaming" drivers but those cards are tech wise quite better and they have the same instruction sets as the ones we use because those cads create and render the games we play maybe they actually have a few more optimized for rendering spacifics which would lead me to bealive that optimized drivers would really be all that necissary seeing as those cards are built to tackle raw video data beter than our own.
Agreed 100%. There are mod drivers for previous generations of FireGL cards to do gaming. Only a matter of time till these are supported as well. There's also modded drivers to do the opposite, turn a radeon into a FireGL.
That R600 Pro seems nice indeed if they release it as a Radeon 2900 Pro. Hopefully they wouldn't tone done those Stream processors and ROP's... but, I doubt that.

The New Year is finally here and knocking on the door too.
