Harnden enjoys long military career
Lynn Harnden joined the U.S. Army at 18 years old and didn't walk away from it completely until he was 65 years old. In a career that spanned nearly five decades, the now 78-year-old Harnden fondly recalls his time in the service and is still extremely proud of the time he spent serving his country.
"I grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota," Harnden said. "I worked and lived hand to mouth, I was pretty poor. And I thought there has got to be something better. So I found out after I got in the National Guard that the Army was a pretty good life. So I opted to become a career soldier and I'm glad I did."
Being a career serviceman has enabled Harnden to do all kinds of things that he wouldn't have imagined himself doing as a farm boy in Minnesota. He lived in Germany twice, flew observation routes along the Korean Demilitarized Zone in a Cessna L-19 Bird Dog Airplane. He's also piloted a Bell UH-1H Helicopter war during two tours in Vietnam and owned a sailboat that he docked in Mission Bay in San Diego.

Juvenile Osteoporosis
What is osteoporosis?
Most often, osteoporosis during childhood is caused by an underlying medical condition (the disease is then called secondary osteoporosis) or a genetic disorder (such as osteogenesis imperfecta). However, sometimes, no cause can be found and the disease is categorized as a very rare form of osteoporosis, called idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO).
What causes juvenile osteoporosis?
In children, the following causes may be attributed to the different forms of osteoporosis:- secondary osteoporosis disorders(caused by an underlying medical condition)
- juvenile arthritis
- diabetes mellitus
- osteogenesis imperfecta
- homocystinuria
- hyperthyroidism
- hyperparathyroidism
- Cushing's syndrome
- malabsorption syndromes
- anorexia nervosa
- kidney disease
- medications, including the following:
- anti-convulsants (for seizures)
- corticosteroids
- immunosuppressive medications
- lifestyle
- excessive inactivity/immobility
- dietary calcium and vitamin D deficiency
- excessive exercising leading to amenorrhea
What are the symptoms of juvenile osteoporosis?
Persons with osteoporosis may not develop any symptoms and the disease, therefore, is often called silent. However, children with the rare idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO) may develop lower back, hip, and foot pain. In addition, IJO is sometimes coupled with physical deformities, including abnormal curvature of the thoracic spine (kyphosis), sunken chest, or a limp. The symptoms of juvenile osteoporosis may resemble other bone disorders or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.How is juvenile osteoporosis diagnosed?
Diagnosis of juvenile osteoporosis is often not made until the child has a broken bone. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for juvenile osteoporosis may include:- family medical history
- skeletal x-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
- bone density test - a diagnostic procedure to determine bone mineral content and skeletal changes, such as bone loss.
- blood tests (to measure serum calcium and potassium levels)
Treatment for juvenile osteoporosis:
Specific treatment for juvenile osteoporosis will be determined by your child's physician based on:- your child's age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the disease
- your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the disease
- your opinion or preference
- Help your child to maintain an appropriate body weight.
- Increase walking and other weight-bearing exercises.
- Minimize the amount of caffeine in your child's diet.
- Help your child maintain an adequate intake of calcium through diet and supplements (vitamin D is also necessary because it facilitates the absorption of calcium).
In the case of idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis, treatment may not be necessary. IJO often resolves itself spontaneously. Nevertheless, managing the bone loss is important during a child's important bone-building years. Treatment for IJO may include:
- protection of spine and other bones from fractures
- physical therapy
- medications (to manage the symptoms)

"The threshold for 'cruel, inhuman and degrading' is pretty high particularly when the country in question is the U.S. It has succeeded in relation to Russian prison conditions. It is arguable in the light of Bradley Manning but you would need to find a country which is willing to take on the U.S. and say that its treatment of prisoners breaches Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights," she said.
Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier accused of providing classified information to website WikiLeaks, has claimed he has been mistreated in custody. In 2011, Manning's lawyer filed a formal complaint alleging his client had been stripped, denied his glasses and confined to a cell for 23 hours a day with no pillow, sheets or personal items.
Manning is appearing before a court-martial this week after pleading guilty to 10 of 22 charges against him and faces up to 20 years in jail.
Scenario 4: He makes a run for it...
Being spirited away on a plane or a boat might be attractive options for Snowden to escape Hong Kong authorities, if his visa is about to expire and the U.S. has yet to make its move.
Young said until the U.S. files an arrest warrant -- or even a provisional one -- there's no onus on carriers to report Snowden's presence if he turns up at a departure gate.
"It may well be that informally that there are channels 'that these are individuals, if you do come across them let us know please' but nothing that obligates them to do this," he added.
CNN asked a number of airlines whether they've been asked by authorities report Snowden. Cathay Pacific said in a statement: "For privacy and security reasons, it would be inappropriate for us to discuss communications, if any, received from governmental agencies. It would be up to the sending agency to share the information it deems appropriate." Qantas and Virgin Atlantic gave a similar response.
If Snowden was able to make it onto a vessel, U.S. authorities would be limited in their ability arrest him, even if they were on board, said Dr Zhao Yun, associate professor at the University of Hong Kong.
"That would be a violation of the sovereignty of the airline," Zhao said, adding that the country where the airline is registered has jurisdiction over the flight. The same applies for ships, except in the case of piracy.
However, he said if the alleged crime was serious enough -- for example, crimes against humanity, torture, slavery and hijacking -- universal jurisdiction kicks in.
"Crimes subject to universal jurisdiction are considered crimes against all (the entire world community)," he said, adding "In this sense, I do not think universal jurisdiction shall apply in (Snowden's) case."
Scenario 5: U.S. issues an arrest warrant and he's detained
This could be the worst case scenario for Snowden. If the U.S. issues a surrender warrant, Snowden could be detained by authorities in Hong Kong, after first being given the go-ahead by the territory's chief executive to arrest him.
Once detained, Young said Snowden would likely appear in an open court where a magistrate would decide whether there is enough evidence to commit him to trial.
Based on that decision, Hong Kong's chief executive would then decide whether to approve the surrender order and send Snowden back to the U.S.
Under Hong Kong law, the surrender order could be blocked if it appears that the offense is of a political nature or if the alleged offender might be punished on the basis of his or her political opinions.
However, other considerations would be the 1996 treaty between the U.N. and Hong Kong which takes precedence over the relevant law and includes a clause on "offenses involving the unlawful use of computers," Young said.

La Grange awards bid for Stone Avenue station improvements
LA GRANGE – After two rounds of failed bids and planning that dates to 2008, the village has approved a nearly $1.1 million renovation for the 112-year-old Stone Avenue train station.
The Village Board unanimously approved a contract with Waukegan-based Boller Construction Co. at the board's meeting Monday.
The renovation includes replacing the station's roof, gutters, downspouts, doors and light fixtures; completing the platform area under the outbound shelter; regrading the approaches to the station from Burlington Avenue; and tuckpointing to preserve the station's brickwork.

Bah! I say.
Yeah, that's scenic. I've gotcher scenic right here. I had to "go over the hill," which to use means going over the Rockies on I70. I'm in Rifle, CO tonight - gonna unload in the morning.
I'm sure I've kvetched about this before, but as a rule, we're too tall to go through the Eisenhower/Johnson Tunnels at the Continental Divide. So, we have to take US6 - Loveland Pass. Narrow, winding, steep grades, hairpin curves, few guardrails - I'm sure it's fun in a Beemer with a roof rack full of skis, but for me, not so much. This is one of the switchbacks on the westbound downhill side. No guardrail on the right, but I can at least see where I'd hit and die.
The road is snowpacked, too. Plus, we're always in a hurry, so ya gotta push it. It really is surprising just how much traction these trucks have, but a little black ice can change that situation. Not for the better.
So, I'm not unloaded and pointed home yet. I70 is fast and busy between here and Denver. I hate traffic.

I run a jetboat on the Rogue, we too experience hours of driving pleasure interspersed with moments of sheer terror. That's what puts the L in life. Adrenaline is gooood, changing pants, not so much.

Just talked to my trucker brother about this the other day. I've never been over it I don't believe. He said it isn't much fun with a truck even with good roads.
He drivers for Anders, a small local firm. If you see him, wave. ;)

Do y'all think maybe, just maybe, I was a tad tired and grumpy? Heh.
Still doesn't matter, I don't like the mountains even with perfectly dry roads.
Jinglebob - I'm sure it depends on how hard ya hit those guardrails. In that photo, I'm riding the jake downhill and running about thirty or so. A lot of the rails are just posts with wire, and they are usually falling off the mountain. So, no, I sure wouldn't wanna depend on one. I really can't imagine what sort of disaster would drive me over the edge - not including avalanches or rock slides. A really slick spot at the wrong time would be bad. If a car were to do something that might force me off - well, I'm gonna just go ahead and hit it rather than dodge. - 10:10 PM

Neighbor brought a load of hay and showed me the front where he had hit a deer the other night at about 70 mph. He had blood and mess clear to the top of his bull rack! He said it looked like you stuck a stick of TNT up the deer's rear, the way it exploded. Figured he just paid for the "new to him" grill guard. Anyone who tries to play tag with a truck is a fool of the highest order. I drove them years ago on gravel road. I will testify that a buck sheep don't stand a chance, even if you are standing on the brakes!

Oh, and AWM - I just looked up what The Rogue is. Sheer terror? That's one activity that might have appealed to me in my salad days, but now? Not so much!
If you ever drive through Glenwood Canyon on I70 during rafting season, you can watch 'em go after it on the Colorado River. AFAIC, they left their brains on the bank. - 10:40 AM

Thanks Tim -
The words to our anthem match those of your Dixon hymn. We have 5 verses plus the chorus. Our choral arrangement is 3 parts, has a wonderful symphony accompaniment. In fact, I noticed what looks like an attribution "W Dixon" in the corner (though only partially visible. I can send you a copy as soon as I get to a place where I can scan documents.

Pre-credit Sequence
It would seem that we know something about the cinema. The past decade has witnessed no end of theoretical incursions—linguistic, psychoanalytic, technohistorical, feminist—into an audiovisual technique heretofore seen solely as the province of wild-eyed devotees less concerned with whys and wherefores than sensations and sensibilities. Reams of copy have shot from an ever-growing academic superstructure armed to the teeth with methodological weaponry designed to blast apart not merely the nature of the cinematic beast but human consciousness itself. Yet for all of the work that's been done, critical theory has failed to evolve into critical practice . The cinema today remains as essentially unexamined as it was at the inception of this analytical jamboree—a quandary, a mystery, a mess.
"Like critics, like historians, but in slightly different ways, theoreticians often help to maintain the cinema in the imaginary enclosure of a pure love," claims Christian Metz.[1] But in truth the ways of critics, historians, and theoreticians aren't different. Theory has consistently claimed for itself a place apart—a cultural higher ground above the fray of common strife that Metz has so justly identified as the "institution" of cinema. "To be a theoretician of the cinema," Metz writes, "one should ideally no longer love the cinema and yet still love it: loved it a lot and only have detached oneself from it by taking it up again from the other end, taking it as the target for the very same scopic drive which had made one love it. Have broken with it, as certain relationships are broken, not in order to move on to something else, but in order to return to it at the next bend in the spiral. Carry the institution inside one still so that it is in a place accessible to self-analysis, but carry it there as a distinct instance which does not over-infiltrate the rest of the ego with the thousand paralyzing bonds of a tender unconditionality. Not have forgotten what the cinephile one used to be was like, in all the details of his affective inflections, in the three dimensions of his living being, and yet no longer be invaded by him: not have lost sight of him, but be keeping
an eye on him. Finally, be him and not be him, since all in these are the two conditions on which one can speak of him."[2]
The language suggests a lover attempting to renegotiate a relationship with a mistress "needed" yet not quite "desired" as before. Metz—elegant, passionate, decorous, precise—can't help but give the impression of a writer caught up in a vast preamble to a subject whose discussion he fears elucidating fully. To speak more frankly would risk engagement with that "tender unconditionality" of the cinema's affectivity. And to do so would burst the bubble of quasi-scientific objectivity theorists hold so dear. Metz's Hamlet-like "Be and not be" is a frank admission of his awareness of this epistemological cul-de-sac—an awareness not at all apparent among others theoretically disposed. They're too busy whipping up methodological smokescreens to disguise or deny the critical proscriptiveness inherent in their projects. Yet like some low-grade cultural infection, clear critical biases continue to inhabit these discourses, wending their way through the most blandly bloodless prose—dust-dry treatises invariably opening with that most dreaded of academic invocations: "This paper . . ."
What is to be done, after all, with articles claiming to address notions of cinematic Space, Time, and History, that insist on promulgating the works of Oshima and Straub-Huillet as untouchable ideals?[3] What gain is to be made with theories trafficking amidst the deified likes of Ford, Sternberg, or Cukor—ostensibly examining "form" yet keeping the content of auteur -based idealism intact?[4] How is the study of narrative served by taking the terminology of the Russian formalists, then skewering it on some three decades of traditionally received wisdom regarding the evolution of Hollywood, the "New Wave," Soviet cinema in the twenties, etc.?[5] How can feminist battles with the "male gaze"[6] be waged by exposing Michael Snow's enthrallment to it on the one hand, then falling back to embrace the likes of Nicolas Roeg on the other?[7] In short the Question Cinema: Is theory at base nothing more than a somewhat ostentatiously rarefied exercise in nostalgia?
No need to ask about the actual progress of the cinema amidst this academic wool-gathering round retro Hollywood "classicism." It's gone its own way, serenely indifferent, instinctively decadent. Expanding itself on the one end—thanks to increasingly expensive production procedures—it's contracted on the other, the better to squeeze itself into its new home-video format. As this grotesque cyborg bellows and wheezes its way across the culture its means and ends become increasingly difficult to gauge. It's not merely the bipartite beast of FilmVideo that must be addressed, but the hydra-headed monster of "Media" as well: network television, newspapers, magazines, tabloids, opinion polls, and computerized informational data banks. All these areas, intimately interconnected, subdivide as well into such multicellular organisms as fashion layouts, rock videos, talk shows, pop recordings, live televised news reports, and made-for-TV "Movies of the Week."
The hesitancy and doubt swirling about Metz's "attempt" at bringing together "Freudian psychoanalysis" and the "cinematic signifier" to produce what he, with touchingly tremulous modesty, refers to as a mere "contribution" to film theory speaks volumes. Everything remains to be said about the cinema. The problem, never really faced, is that there is no simple way to say it.

Player cannot use Melee attack cards against any character that has a greater Velocity than they do, and can only use Beam or Homing attack cards against characters with a greater Velocity than they do by discarding 1 copy of the desired attack card for every point of difference between the attacker and their target (example: Player A has 1 Velocity point and wants to attack Player B with 3 Velocity points, using attack card X. In order to do that, as an additional cost to play attack card X, Player A must discard 2 copies of attack card X from their hand).
The OP does not list the player's velocity. How do we know how many cards we would have to discard? Will it be updated later with velocities? Is everyone's default velocity 1?

Jesse Good will admit to beginning high school a little less than motivated.
And he might have stayed that way.
But when you ask the South Western High School graduating senior what memories he'll take from the past four years, he's more than happy to answer the question.
"The teachers," he said. "They got my interest and motivated me. By my senior year, I had started to work hard."
And even on Friday's graduation night, there was something to learn, as a teacher stopped by to give one final lesson - how to tie a tie.
As the graduates milled near the school's auditorium, taking pictures and fixing their caps tightly to their heads, they talked of Friday night football games, memories of playing soccer with the same people since third grade, a class trip to Allentown-area Dorney Park and the memories that will last long after the caps are tossed in the air.
Then, the Class of 2012 - 300 in all - made the familiar walk to their school's stadium, passing over a white mustang painted on the 50-yard line and searching the crowd of family and friends for faces they could recognize.
Graduating senior Peyton Pyles said they only had to look to the right and left to find family.
"We've seen each other laugh, smile, cry, just like a family," Peyton said.
They've watched carrots fly in the cafeteria, boys raise money for a good cause by dressing like girls for a week, Peyton said. They've gone to movies and to the mall together, taken road trips with no destination.
But that's the past.
"I see future doctors, lawyers, cosmetologists, designers, bakers," Peyton said. "I see them teaching the next generation, solving a crime, writing a song. I know what you all can do. You can do whatever you put your minds to."
The question, said graduating senior Courtney Helt, is what will you do, how will you fill that blank page in front of you?
As experience has shown, knowing where to start with that blank page is the hardest task.
But start you will, Courtney said, and soon you'll have a page. Then another. Then a chapter. Then a book.
And when you sit in these same stands 30 years from now, watching your children graduate, there will be one question, she told her classmates.
"Was your book a bestseller?" she asked.
How the graduating students fill their pages, how they take control of their own growth will determine their direction, added graduating senior Alissa Wagner.
It's not the same as being a kid, having your growth measured by a chart on the wall and standing as tall as you could, she said.
"We're experiencing a new stage of growth," she said. "We have control over our growth. Believe it or not, we have power."
That can be a scary thought for all those parents in the crowd, who might still yearn for the days when their kids weren't so independent, and relied on them just a little more, said school board president Dale Myers, as he recited a poem he wrote for the ceremony.
Think if you will, he said to parents, of the drive to the hospital in the hours before they were born, of those tracings of little hands they did in kindergarten.
Remember the days when the homework got harder in middle school, he said as the sun began to set behind the crowd, when you sold everything under the sun to raise money for band, or their sport of choice that season.
And how did you feel when they took their first drive in high school, when you stayed up late the night they broke a curfew?
All of those memories come streaming back as those fast-growing young adults sit in tasseled caps and gowns, Myers said.
"Tell them how much you care," he added, "that if they need you, you'll still be there."
And before the names of each of those kids rang across the loudspeaker, the Class of 2012 left their school with a gift - new signs for the hallways and classrooms.
A little direction for those who will follow in their footsteps.

"X Factor" judges, from left, Paulina Rubio, Kelly Rowlands and Demi Lovato in New Orleans for the reality TV show's judges' auditions. (The X Factor) |
All the world's a runway these days, as we were reminded Thursday morning with a press release detailing the outfits "X Factor" judges Kelly Rowland, Paulina Rubio and Demi Lovato wore in New Orleans for judges' auditions this week.
We're told that Latin superstar Rubio, the panel's newest addition, went with an ensemble that included a red Givenchy blouse, a skirt from Haute Hippie, a pair of gold Christian Louboutins on her feet and Louis Morais rings on her fingers.
R&B singer Kelly Rowlands went with a head-to-almost-toe look from Topshop that included a floral zip-front jacket over a black-and-white geometric striped dress, and finished the outfit off with a pair of Louboutins.
Of the three, Demi looked most demure, opting for a black thigh-length Miu Miu dress with white collar detail and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels.
But that's only three judges, right? You apparently can't teach an old judge new tricks, and we have it on good authority that Simon Cowell took the Big Easy way out by sticking with his tried-and-true T-shirt look.

Dorchester principal goes Gaga as part of student book bet
DORCHESTER, Mass. (WHDH) -- A Dorchester school has gone Gaga. The principal showed up at school in a limousine, dressed as the pop idol.
It's not everyday a school principal dresses up like a pop idol, but when you're on the losing side of a bet you do what you have to do. And what Justin Vernon, Principal of Dorchester's Roger Clapp School had to do was impersonate Lady Gaga.
"I think I make for a pretty good Lady Gaga, what do you think?" Vernon asked his students.
And the second part of the bet was quite imaginative; Principal Vernon had to milk a cow.
"I think he really made a fool out of himself – in a good way," said Margaret, a student.
Earlier in the year, Vernon challenged his K through 5 students to read 10,000 books -- and he promised if they did, he would do whatever they wished.
"Of course they wanted to yell out the most ridiculous thing possible. So milking a cow came out, dressing like Lady Gaga, there were other options that came out but this is the one that stuck," said Vernon.
"My favorite part is when he milked the cow," said Fiona, a student.
Of course, his students read all the books and then some. But being from the city, the thing many of the kids couldn't believe was the part about the cow.
"I thought he was going to dress up like Lady Gaga, but I didn't' think they would get an actual cow," said Mark, a student.
"I think they were still a little bit uncertain even today, some students asked, 'Is it going to be a real cow?' 'Yes, it's going to be a real cow,'" said Christine Valenti, fifth grade teacher.
The cow came from Richardson's Creamery, and some of the books were donated by Barry, formerly of Jordan's Furniture. Many parents say this is one bet that paid off.
"I mean, my daughters reading went through the charts because of it," said Theresa Davis, a parent.

Video: The Making of a Book, 1925
Running eighteen minutes, this film is a bit long, but it's a must see for anyone interested in the history of publishing. The 1925 silent film documents the entire process of creating a book, from creating the type to loading the volumes on a truck for distribution. It features Oxford's Clarendon press and at some points you see the Oxford English Dictionary being printed and bound.
Tip o' the Hat to Lexicon Valley
It is quite common for a word with a specific and literal meaning to develop figurative or metaphorical meanings that are related to the literal one. And sometimes we can see this same change across multiple languages. Such is the case with polite. The Latin verb polire means to smooth, to polish, and its past participle, politus, and adverbial form, polite, came in that language to mean cultured or refined, a metaphorical polish.

The opening line of Beowulf has always posed a bit of problem for translators:
Hwæt! We Gar-Dena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
The problem is exactly what the word hwæt is doing. Hwæt is the etymological ancestor of the modern what, but the Old English word's semantic and grammatical functions are not the same as the modern word's. Most translators have treated it as an exclamation, along the lines "listen!" or "lo!" rendering the line as something along the lines of:
Read the rest of the article...Listen! We have heard of the glory of the folk-kings of the Spear-Danes in days past, how the noble ones performed acts of courage.
Occupy is a verb with many shades of meaning, but these senses fall into two broad categories. The word comes from the Anglo-Norman and Old French verb occupier or occuper, meaning to keep busy or to hold, and these two meanings remain the two broad categories in use today.
Read the rest of the article...notorious
Usage manuals like to point out that notorious refers to someone or something of unfavorable reputation and that the word should not be used to mean merely famous or notable. While this is true to an extent, like many questions of usage the answer is more complicated, and in fact few writers actually use the word mistakenly.
Read the rest of the article...nice
Many words have changed their meaning over the centuries, but none so significantly, widely, and often as nice. Today, the word most often means pleasant, good-natured, attractive, and has a positive connotation. (At least in most contexts; describing a potential romantic interest as "nice" can be damning with faint praise.) But it was not always so. Over the centuries, the meanings of nice have ranged widely, and include: silly, wanton and lascivious, ostentatious and showy, scrupulous, fastidious, cultured and polite, virtuous and respectable, cowardly, lazy, tender and delicate, strange and rare, shy, undecided, subtle, precise, thin, unimportant, sensitive, and require tact.
Read the rest of the article...mug, mugger
Mug is a word that has undergone a number of semantic shifts, or changes in meaning, over the centuries. So much so that today one wonders what connection, if any, there is between the drinking vessel and getting robbed.
Read the rest of the article...moonstruck
Love makes you do the wacky.
—Joss Whedon and David Tyron King, "Some Assembly Required," Buffy The Vampire Slayer, 22 September 1997
We all know that people in love sometimes act insane, and that is the concept behind the modern use of the word moonstruck. Someone who is moonstruck is out of their mind with love. But this was not always the case; the word originally simply referred to insanity. The idea that the phases of the moon could trigger mental illness is an old one—English use of the word lunatic dates to the late thirteenth century—and that's where the concept of being moonstruck comes from.
Read the rest of the article...mind-meld
Science fiction is a productive source of neologisms. Sometimes what is envisioned in fiction enters the lexicon before science makes it a reality, and sometimes futuristic and fantastic concepts that can never be real enter the language through science fiction. When we talk of the intersection between science fiction and popular culture, conversation inevitably turns to Star Trek. The original television series ran from 1966–69 and bequeathed us any number of spin-off series, movies, cartoons, and books, but it also left us with an enriched vocabulary. Alongside phasers and warp speed, the TV show gave us the mind-meld.
Read the rest of the article...kangaroo court
Strangely, the term kangaroo court is not Australian in origin. The term refers to an improperly constituted and illegitimate court, especially one constituted by people who are otherwise outside the law, prisoners, mutineers, etc. What kangaroos have to do with it is not known for certain. There are plenty of guesses, but no strong evidence.

text: In the glass this wine is reminiscent of California hillsides in summertime, showing a beautiful pale golden straw color. Aromas of orange blossom, citrus rind, and stone fruits of white peach and apricot open the bouquet. Layers of tropical pineapple and starfruit then give way to toasted hazelnuts and a touch of smoke, while the depths of the nose reveal a pleasant minerality. On the palate the clean, soft, full entry builds with layers of tropical fruit, white melon, green apple, and citrus. Excellent weight and acid balance throughout refresh the palate, while subtle notes of oak spice and vanilla linger at the end of the exceptionally long finish. |

In addition to extensive fashion descriptions and plates, the early issues included biographical sketches, articles about mineralogy, handcrafts, female costume, the dance, equestrienne procedures, health & hygiene, recipes, remedies, etc. Each issue also contained two pages of sheet music, written essentially for the piano forte. Gradually the periodical matured into an important literary magazine and contained extensive book reviews and works by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and many other celebrated 19th century authors who regularly furnished the magazine with essays, poetry and short stories. The Lady`s Book was also a vast reservoir of handsome illustrations, which included hand-colored fashion plates, mezzotints, engravings, woodcuts, and ultimately chromolithographs. In 1836, Sarah Josepha Hale (1788-1879) became the new editor of Godey`s Lady`s Book. Mrs. Hale brought substance to the magazine, and wrote frequently about the notion of "women`s sphere." In 1846 she stated, "The time of action is now.We have to sow the fields-the harvest is sure. The greatest triumph of this progression is redeeming woman from her inferior position and placing her side by side with man, a help-mate for him in all his pursuits." Her steadfast devotion of purpose and her unwavering editorial principles regarding social inequalities and the education of American women, made her one of the most important editors of her time. Under Mrs. Hale`s leadership the magazine flourished, reaching a pre-civil war circulation of 150,000. Editor, then publisher Louis Antoine Godey (1804-1878) and editor Sarah Hale became a force majeure in 19th century American life and culture. | 1830-1885 | Yes |
