Who knew that a career in video documentaries could lead to crime? Such is the fate of Chicago's Ellie Foreman, whose shoots hook her up with misdeeds past and present. Here she is producing a video about foster children that's being financed by a successful Chicago real estate developer. Her plans get thrown for a loop when a mysterious package appears at her door one winter night. Inside she finds a surveillance video showing the murder of a young woman. Who was this woman and what is her connection to Ellie?
The cops shunt her aside, but the urgency she feels to find answers, coupled with her professional knowledge of film, compel her to sleuth despite the difficulties borne from a complex history with her lover, David.
A little digging reveals that the murder victim was a courier with a dark history forged in Eastern Europe at the time of the Soviet Union's collapse. And a little more digging reveals dark happenings here at home, money laundering, and the deadly price of dealing in diamonds....
This dangerous case for Ellie follows the 2002 Anthony-nominated An Eye for Murder and the 2003 Picture of Guilt.
©2004 Poisoned Pen Press (trade paperback only) (P)2012 Libby Fischer Hellmann
"A powerful tale… Hellmann is adept at welding technical information to strong characters… Foreman's pluck and grit married to Hellmann's solid storytelling should win a growing audience… " (Publishers Weekly)
"Not only has Hellmann created a compelling group of believable characters, but the mystery she places them in is likewise plausible and engrossing. An Image of Death is highly recommended, even if you don't live in Illinois…" (Chicago Sun-Times)
"A chilling subject matter, intriguing psychological suspense, and disturbing Eastern European connections …" (Library Journal)
"Highly Recommended!"
Ms. Hellman is not just an author, she is a story weaver!! She takes pieces of people's lives-- through varied time periods and physical locations-- and entwines them into a riveting tale of murder, intrigue, relationships, hopes, and dreams. The main story begins when Ellie Foreman, the lead character, receives an anonymous video of a young woman being murdered in Chicago and finds herself drawn into trying to help solve this case. Ms. Hellman pulls threads from the past…the crumbling Soviet Union, international diamond trade, greed, corruption, and the human price that is paid along the way. There are a number of supporting characters and time periods in the story and Ms. Hellman masterfully weaves them all together to create a book that I didn't want to put aside and that held my complete interest from start to finish. I love Ms. Hellman's writing style and admire her storytelling abilities! Last, but certainly not least, the narrator (Robin Rowan) was easy to listen to and was a definite asset to this audiobook. I highly recommend it!
"Second time but audio makes it just as suspenseful"
Highly addictive story -- you have to keep listening!
I don't read many mysteries... so I find Libby's books to be unique
I loved the juxtaposition of current and past scenes that link together.
it was compelling
Elle AKA PlantCrone..I'm an organic gardener, quilter, volunteer and elder who enjoys different genres from biographies to si/fi to fantasy
"Terrible narrator ruins good story-too sad!"
What is basically a good story arc is lost in the miserable narration by Robin Rowan..remind me to avoid her future narrations. She talks too fast, all the accents are the same and basically ruins the story-the third in Hellmann's Ellie Foreman series. What a shame.
Because of eye issues, I have to limit my reading so I'm essentially tied into this miserable narration if I want to finish the story..and the plot is a good one, from what I can tell.
Maybe I was spoiled by the excellent narration of the first 3 of Libby Hellmanns books I listened to. It's a shame the producer didn't pick a good narrator and stick to her rather than skip around from narrator to narrator. In any case, Rowan is not a good match for Ellie Foreman in my opinion as a long time Audible listener.
Enough gripeing-on to the plot..Ellie continues with her tendency to involve herself in police business, has issues with her teen age daughter and the boyfriend issue continues to be on and off. Basically Ellie is a pretty typical single parent trying to make everything work so that theres enough time and money for everything. Those of us who have been in that position know how difficult it goes. I especially enjoy Ellies dad and the give and take the two of them have together.
This is the kind of protagonist I like..a real 'person' with real issues, a plot with an involved story line that sucks you in and side characters who are interesting.
I'd suggest reading this instead of listening-though maybe the narrator won't irritate everyone as much as she does me.

WHEELING - As a freshman,Michaela Hinerman played an important role in Brooke's OVAC Cup Championship game. Not that she was on the field. She served as the ball girl for an experienced, running the sidelines, keeping the ball in play.
That night, the Bruins fell to Linsly.
Monday night, three years removed from that night at Wheeling Island Stadium, Hinerman was back. So was Linsly.
Article Photos
Photo by Dave Morrison
Brooke's Leila Hannaoui (22) tries to control the ball as Linsly's Leah Memmo moves in Monday.
This time Hinerman played the lead role, scoring both of the Bruins goals in a 2-0 victory against the Cadets to claim the girls' OVAC Cup championship.
"There were 11 seniors on that team," Hinerman said, explaining why she wasn't on the varsity team in 2010. "I was just trying to do whatever I could to help the team out. But I couldn't wait to get my shot to try to win this."
Last year she had her first shot, but the Bruins lost to Morgantown.
That simply added fuel to Hinerman's fire, and she came out with the resolve that she wouldn't be denied in her finally opportunity.
So did her teammates.
Hinerman scored early, off a cross from fellow senior and fellow captain Dynah Sayre.
The pass was picture perfect, leaving Hinerman to simply tap the ball into the net for the goal just 5:21 into the game.
"That's always the plan," Hinerman said. "Score quickly and put the pressure on the other team. It was a nice pass. We've been working together on that and it's worked out for us a lot lately."
The shots didn't stop there.
Time after time Brooke peppered the goal, taking eight shots in the first half alone, but Linsly goalkeeper Vivian Allison was equal to the task.
Until early in the second half, when Hinerman again struck, at the 32:02 mark.
"She's tenacious," Brooke coach Lee Weppler said. "She really has good control. When she finishes like (Monday) she is one of the best forwards in the state."
"They are an aggressive team and they played that way," Linsly coach Erica Hall said. "They have a way of taking you out of the style that you play. They did that. If you are a goalkeeper, you don't want to give up two goals in a 2-0 game but Viv played great. On the two they got, nobody was going to get to those."
Hinerman's two goals was all the Bruins needed.
"All credit goes to them," Hall said. "They came out ready to play and ready to win and that's what they did."
It was a big victory for Brooke, which is no stranger to the OVAC Cup finals, having made the trip previously five of the last six years.
"Just to make it into the OVAC Cup is special," Weppler said. "This one is a little more special. It's the last year the OVAC is going to include all divisions together. From now on it will be all about divisions so I think that makes it special for the girls."
Brooke keeper Payge Farmer didn't have a lot of work, thanks to the Bruins' aggressive offensive nature, which kept the pressure on Linsly most of the evening.
Linsly did have a pair of scoring opportunities late, once as the ball passed the defense and Maleha Kureishy nearly got to it and slid into Farmer, trying to redirect the ball to the back of the net.
Farmer was taken down on the play, but gamely got up and finished the game in goal, making another stop on a cross late.
All told, Brooke took 12 shots in the game, five by Hinerman.
Farmer saved both of the shot attempts Linsly had and was credited with the shutout.
"When we play that way, we usually come out on top," Hinerman said. "We haven't won this one in a while. It feels good to win."

Now here's a dubious distinction: 1982's Boarding House ("Where the rent won't kill you, but something else will"), just out from Code Red DVD claims to be the first horror film to be shot on video, and this little oddity actually played theaters for a time. If you've never seen old school video tape blown up to 35 millimeter and projected on the big screen, you would be surprised at just how hideous the final product is. I saw the Rolling Stones documentary/concert film Gimme Shelter which was transferred this way, and I was amazed how grainy and washed out the image was. Code Red has made a smart decision going back to the original video materials rather than using the version that had been transferred to film, as was done with the old Paragon Video VHS tape (a release that the filmmakers insist was done illegally). The video version isn't perfect either, but this is probably the best this film will ever look. em>Boarding House was promoted as being presented in "Horror Vision", a William Castle-esque gimmick that is explained at the opening of the film. Whenever the viewer hears a specific sound effect or sees a shot of a black-gloved hand with a Dr. Who-level video effect accompanying it, that means something scary is about to happen. This, along with the film's disjointed nature, are explained by Director/star John Wintergate and his co-star Kalassu, when they point out on the commentary track that the movie had been shot as a horror spoof, but the distributor insisted on cuts to focus on the horror. The final result doesn't really work as horror or comedy, but it is an occasionally interesting exercise in ultra low budget filmmaking that doesn't skimp on the gore or T & A, often looking like a period porn film without the hardcore sex.
The Hoffman house has a history of evil. The original residents, experts on telekinesis and the occult, were mysteriously killed and mutilated and their child who witnessed the incident was committed to a mental institution. Over the years the house changed hands several times, before coming into the possession of Jim Royce (director Wintergate). Jim is a student of meta-physics who spends much of his time trying to make objects move with his mind while simultaneously looking like he's trying to pass a kidney stone (see image above). He runs an ad for several roommates (hot babes only please) and the house is soon filled with voluptuous young vixens, most of whom are played by actresses that were never heard from again. Around this same time we see the Hoffman's demented progeny departing the sanitarium and leaving a trail of bodies in his or her wake.
What follows is a lot of hot tubbing, showering and general nudity, accompanied by much death and dismemberment. One girl gets an ice pick through the hand, the shower walls start bleeding, a cat gets its skull crushed, and there's a creepy gardener who should be wearing a t-shirt that reads "obvious red herring." Meanwhile Victoria (Kalassu) takes an interest in Jim's hobby, teaches herself telekinesis, and starts using it to push around the other girls when they get between her and Jim.
Boardinghouse is nothing original, but I don't think it was intended to be. It's exploitation for exploitation's sake, which is fine I suppose, but the rock bottom budget (Victoria has a nightmare sequence in which she is assaulted by props from a haunted house) and the fact that it's neither scary or funny will turn most people off. Personally, I found it marginally interesting as a historical curio (the video was everywhere in the heyday of VHS), but unless you're a hardcore horror completest this probably isn't for you. The disk has an interview with Wintergate and Kalassu and the two also participate in an audio commentary that discusses, among other things, their plans for Boarding House 2.

It's a passion for song the women of the Northern Gateway Chorus of Sweet Adelines International sing.
"We've been doing valentines for over 15 years," said Donna Moore, one of the group's songstresses.
"We love to share our harmony throughout the community and Valentine's is always a special time for us to get out and do that and meet different people," explained Moore.
So if you're looking for a non-traditional gift worth giving for your sweetheart this Friday, the catchy-tuned quartet may be perfect.
"Well everybody loves chocolate, but we're all trying to watch our calories and our sugar intake, so by just having this special memory it's really a special time for us," said Moore.

Hi there,
I'm the definition of noob. I bought a Trek 1000 last year and broke my foot (not related to cycling) soon thereafter, so it sat idle during the winter and it's time to hop back on!!
I've bought a nice floor pump and am inflating the tires. I am looking to go around 100 PSI as it says on the tirewall, but the tire doesn't seem to want to take any more air, and the gauge is at about 50. tire feels pretty firm to me, as well...
Doing something wrong?
Thanks for the help!

Say Cheese VI: Thanku watchers
by Rtenzo
The way in which these are all drawn, they all draw attention to themselves, rather then one person in specific. Normally, one character would be the center of the picture, but in this one they all have their own spotlight.
Also, you manage to apply shading to their curves that adds more flair to them, and makes them that much more sexy. In this picture, my favorites are Yoruichi, Harribel and Rukia, because in some way, you just make the shy one into the most mysterious and pretty looking. Also, Love how you added Kon.
In short, I love it.

Austin Debuts with "Overnight" and New Doc Competition
by Brian Brooks
Selections of "mainstream" and "independent" narrative, documentary, shorts, international work and retrospectives are slated for the Austin Film Festival taking place October 14-21 in the Texas capital. Opening the festival is doc "Overnight" by Mark Brian Smith, about a bartender, whose ambitions to succeed as a filmmaker, catapulted him into the likes of Miramax co-chief Harvey Weinstein to turn his script, "The Boondock Saints" into a feature film.
Austin will launch its inaugural documentary festival competition this year. Among the film vying for a prize is filmmaker Angela Shelton's aptly titled, "Searching for Angela Shelton." The film, which has been profiled on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "48 Hours" among others is the filmmaker's journey to meet every other Angela Shelton in the United States, discovering that she and 24 of the 40 people sharing the same name also have another thing in common -- they're victims of abuse. Also set to screen is Danny Schechter's "WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception." The film examines the media's role in reporting on the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and argues that the it was complacent in its questioning of the onset of war. Sixteen other films will also screen in this section.
The festival's narrative competition selection includes the world premiere of Noam J. Christopher's "The Street," about a man living alone in a small New York City apartment and his quest for intimacy. "Second Best," by Eric Weber (regional premiere) focuses on a group of high school friends who were expected to excel, but have only made marginal strides in life, while Jordan Hawley's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" (regional premiere) is about an L.A. writer of sleazy biographies who transplants himself on the east coast in search of respectability, but is challenged when he meets "the woman of his dreams." Also screening as part of the competition are three titles from India, which are also part of the festival's special Bollywood Showcase. Retrospectives hosted by Austin attendees Barry Levinson, Garry Shandling and Adam McKay are also set.
Films traveling the festival circuit are also slated for the event, including Dylan Kidd's Toronto 2004 feature "P.S." starring Laura Linney, Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden and Paul Rudd. Also from Toronto is Alexander Payne's "Sideways," which is slated along with Sundance 2004 competition feature "The Woodsman" by Nicole Kassell, starring Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Also on tap is James Wan's Toronto 2004 offering "Saw" with Danny Glover, Leigh Whannell and Cary Elwes and others. Closing the festival is Cannes 2004 competition feature, "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" by Stephen Hopkins, starring Geoffrey Rush and Charlize Theron.
The Austin Film Festival is a non-profit organization that promotes the "art, craft and business of writers and filmmakers and recognizing their contributions to film, television and new media."

Two years after graduating from Sarah Lawrence, photographer H Harrison '06 had a light-bulb moment while submitting his black-and-white images to various galleries. He noticed something peculiar: his artist statements were becoming longer and longer, concerned more with the legal issues around artistic expression than with the art itself.
"I remember thinking, Maybe this is a sign," says Harrison.
Harrison's interest in freedom of expression began when he was working on "Public/Private Spaces," a collection of black-and-white images depicting Manhattan hotel lobbies, a project that had started as his senior thesis. When asked for permission to photograph the lobbies, the hotels sometimes refused to participate, claiming it was illegal or a post-9/11 security risk. And even when the hotels agreed, they would present Harrison with lengthy, confusing contracts that restricted his use of the images. These responses raised questions that Harrison, an emerging artist, hadn't ever considered—what were the boundaries of his own artistic expression?
"I wanted to know my rights," he says.
Harrison read books, talked to family friends who practiced law, and scoured artists' forums online. He soon discovered that the dialogue between artists and the law was even more engaging than the process of making art itself.
Eventually, he began to appreciate the contracts with the hotels, because they gave him an opportunity to state explicitly his ownership and use of the photographs. But only when he took note of his own artist statements did he envision another path: law school. Last fall he enrolled at the Northeastern University School of Law, where he is deepening his knowledge of artists' rights and intellectual property.
"At Sarah Lawrence, I was able to use art as my guidepost in every class—even math," says Harrison. That hasn't changed in graduate school: "Law is another one of these places that is informing my art."
While Harrison is keeping an open mind in terms of future plans, he sees himself working directly with artists, helping them understand their legal rights.
And he continues making his own art. Harrison has declared "Public/Private Spaces" a completed body of work, but he's still pursuing photography.
"I get darkroom access at school, which is pretty great."

Say what you will about "The Fountain", Darren Aronofsky's third feature, and many have said a lot -- "pretentious," "bloated," "ambitious," "banal," "tedious" -- but there's one thing that's for sure: it is perhaps the most original studio film in decades. How did Aronofsky, whose career I have followed from "Pi" to "Requiem for a Dream", manage to convince Warner Bros and New Regency Pictures to front him the millions of dollars to make this psychedelic sci-fi meditation on one man's refusal to accept the death of his loved one? And will the film find an audience, any audience this weekend? It's certainly more unique than any other film out there -- though I hear "Tenacious D" is a pretty wild trip, too. For this Seed Magazine interview, I spoke with Darren less about such pressing industry questions and more about his obsession with scientific themes and representations.

text: Wife was persuaded to take a slightly hilly 24 mile ride the inducement being breakfast on the way. Ride is through the nearby rolling hills, about 1000 ft. of climbing with nothing more than 7% grade. The wife did extremely well for not having done much climbing at all. She discovered the tiny 30t chainring right next to the BB. I'm still going to fit a 24t chainring on her triple 'cause the Tierra Bella 100K (Gilroy, CA) has more and steeper climbs. Stopped for lunch at about 15 miles at our favorite breakfast place, Flap Jacks in Tres Pinos, CA. If you're every on Hwy 25 on your way to the Pinnacles definitely stop for breakfast or lunch (closed on Tues). I've attached the obligatory pictures. No close range bovine sightings, only specks on the hill side so it's pretty much green rolling hills with steeper stuff in the background. Also, no self portrait this trip. Maybe next time.

eToro in the World of Technology – Cloud Computing Part 1
Hello eTorians,
In this short brief, which will be first in a series of few overviews, I will explain some issues and trends in the high-tech world. It will not be a technical overview, (so why just not go to Wikipedia you ask?), I will connect them to the world of etoro like trading, retails, social etc. (Who ever want to expand the knowledge can read more, or ask me and I will be more detailed.)
Let's ask those questions:
- what is Cloud Computing?
- what is it relevant to etoro? What can we achieve or lose by using the cloud?
Today our servers are located at data centers in Amsterdam and London, which means the servers are not here in the office.
If the servers would have been here in the office (=on premise), etoro was responsible for Electricity, air condition etc. By having the servers in Amsterdam and London we pay to other providers to give us such services.
So paying money for any kind of service in the world of computers is all about cloud. We put the servers in other data center (= in the cloud) and we get services.
Cloud Computing is not huge computers, is not SUPER computer (all start with virtualization). So the code that runs slow on premise will run slow on the cloud too.
We have 3 types of services in the cloud computing talk:
SaaS – Software as a service: this is the simplest type to explain. The user that buy or use this service owns nothing, it's just uses the application, connect and use. The best example is Gmail.
IaaS – Infrastructure as a service: the provider gives infrastructure, including network, storage, compute resources and virtualization technology. You just need to request a virtual machine and you got it with what you asked. In this type, the IT and R&D still have lot to do. They have the operating system, virtual machines but they still have to configure or manage the application manually. The IT can connect to this computer by remote and configure what is needed.
PaaS – Platform as a service: this type is combination of the 2 types. The provider gives both infrastructure resources and also application development platform, it can include the automation to deploy, build in storage, Operating systems, databases etc. The computer resources are share and the provider manages the CPU, memory, IO and so. The IT can reboot, or in some cases reimage (return to the last software that uploads). But not always can connect as remote control.
SO what is the relevant for etoro?
etoro growing rapidly, we do have the hardware, but we need to use it for main core trading (problems of regulation and SLA reasons), other services that relevant to the second circuit, can be in the cloud. The worldwide clients all over the globe can have lots of benefits if they will talk with close servers near the countries – and the user experience will be very good and fast. We examine what is the best for the company, what will help us to scale without ruing the performance. In one hand we still want – to have person to ask when we have an outage, but in other side of the coin we can save time to get machines by clicking on buttons….. So life is hard for decision makers…
Next time about some screen shots and main Providers of cloud services…

82-year-old carer neglected
Friday 23 October 2009
Mencap urges councils to improve support for older carers in light of an inquest into the death of an 82-year-old carer from Camberley in Surrey.
David Congdon, head of campaigns and policy at learning disability charity Mencap, said:
"This tragic case of neglect highlights an all too common problem of councils failing to have a true picture of the number of older carers in their area.
"Mencap's research shows that only half of local authorities know how many people live with parents aged 70 of over, leaving many vulnerable older carers isolated and struggling to cope. This is compounded by older carers' fears that if they ask for help their sons and daughters will be taken away.
"Councils must become more proactive and have a better understanding of the number and needs of older carers in their area, so they can provide the right support before carers reach breaking point."
Contact: Lucy Hannagan, Mencap press office, 020 7696 6017, email@example.com
Notes to editors
- Mencap works with people with a learning disability and their families and carers.
- 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability.
- A learning disability is caused by the way the brain develops before, during or shortly after birth. It is always lifelong.
- Learning disability affects someone's intellectual and social development all their life. People with a learning disability find it harder than others to learn, understand and communicate.
- People with a learning disability don't get an equal chance in life. Mencap fights to change laws and services and to provide better access to education, employment and leisure facilities, supporting thousands of people with a learning disability to live their lives the way they want.
- It is not a mental illness and should not be confused with mental health issues. It is not dyslexia or Asperger's syndrome.
- It used to be called mental handicap but we don't use this term anymore because most people with a learning disability find it offensive.
- For information about learning disability issues please call the Learning Disability Helpline (England) on 0808 808 1111 or visit www.mencap.org.uk

Karnataka-based Vishwaraj Sugar Industries (VSL) has drawn up Rs 425 crore expansion plans for doubling its production capacity.
The company plans to hit the capital market in February- March with initial public offer (IPO) to raise up to Rs 374 crore.
The company has an integrated plant at Belgaum district with a sugarcane crushing capacity of 5,500 tonnes per day, alongwith power and spirits (molasses, ethanol and Indian Made Foreign Liquor) manufacturing facility.
"Market regulator SEBI has cleared the Draft Red Herring Prospectus and we are planning to launch our IPO in February or March," VSL Executive Director Mukesh Kumar told reporters.
"We plan to raise up to Rs 374 crore. The company will use the proceeds of the IPO for expansion, which include doubling the cane crushing capacity to 11,000 tonnes crushing per day (TCD) from the present 5,500 TCD," Kumar said, adding that production from the expanded capacity is likely to commence in the 2014-15 sugar season.
The total expansion cost of the project is pegged at Rs 425 crore, for which the company is also raising Rs 70 crore of long-term debt from the Bank of India.
Karnataka has taken a lead in sugar production in the country recording a 17 per cent jump by December 2012 as against national growth of 2.5 per cent achieved by the industry.
The sugar production till end-December 2012 in UP recorded a fall of about 11 per cent and in Maharashtra it was about 4 per cent higher compared to the production during the same period last year, sugar production status report released by the Indian Sugar Mills Association said.
"Sugarcane cultivation is good in Karnataka and as against earlier fear of drought affecting cane and resultant sugar production has been removed with the state producing 1,550 lakh tonnes, recording a 17 per cent growth till end-December 2012," Kumar said.
VSL has association with farmers of 49 villages for assured supply of sugarcane. The company would also expand the distillery capacity to 1 lakh litre per day from the current 35,000 litres per day, which would lead to doubling of IMFL production capacity to 5,000 cases a day from the present 2,500 cases a day," Kumar added.
The company would also utilise part of IPO proceeds to expand its power co-generation capacity to 66 MW from current 36 MW. VSL has signed a power purchase agreement with Tata Power Trading Company to sell 23 MW from its proposed expansion

UIC Athletics Surpasses Academic Progress Rate Standards
June 11, 2013
INDIANAPOLIS - All 19 of UIC's active sport programs have met the national standards for academic progress, as measured by the NCAA and released by the organization Tuesday in the latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) report.
The APR is a real-time measure of eligibility and retention of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team. The most recent APR scores are based on a multi-year rate that averages scores from the 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 academic years.
Both the women's cross country and women's golf teams achieved perfect APR scores of 1,000, leading the way for the UIC Athletic Department. Last week, the women's cross country program was presented with a Public Recognition Award for ranking in the top-10 in the nation for its APR.
Fifteen other sports posted an APR of at least 950, with three programs boasting a mark of 990 or better. Below is a summary of UIC's APR scores through the 2011-12 academic year.
Baseball: 981
The NCAA released the complete APR reports for each school Tuesday, as well as the list of teams subject to penalties. In order to compete in the 2013-14 postseason, teams must achieve a 900 multi-year APR or a 930 average over the most recent two years. This standard will increase to a multi-year 930, which predicts to a Graduation Success Rate of approximately 50 percent, or a 940 two-year average APR for the 2014-15 postseason. The complete APR database is available online at www.ncaa.org.

Clementine Jelly Recipe
These taste like Christmas in a glass. If you've got kids around, these are the perfect things to make with them because they are quick to make and not fussy at all.
Serves 6
- 5 leaves of gelatine (platinum grade)
- 600ml clementine juice (from about 20 clementines)
- Caster sugar, to taste
- A small piece of fresh ginger, peeled
- 2 clementines, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
- 1 heaped tsp vanilla syrup (which you can buy at lots of good food stores) or a few drops of vanilla extract
- 200g natural yoghurt
- Good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
1. Pour 500ml cold water into a bowl with the gelatine leaves and soak for a few minutes until softened. Pour the clementine juice into a pan over a low heat and warm it through, then add the softened gelatine and let it dissolve, stirring occasionally. Add a little sugar to sweeten the juice, but not too much - you still want that zippy clementine flavour to come through. Grate a tiny bit of ginger onto your chopping board then squeeze it over the juice so you get a few drips of ginger juice in there.
2. Arrange 6 small serving glasses (about 200ml each) on a tray and put 2 clementine rounds into each one. Sieve the clementine mixture into each glass then put them in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until they're set and wobbly.
3. To serve, mix the vanilla syrup into the yoghurt and dollop a spoonful on top of each jelly, then grate or shave a few pretty bits of chocolate on top.

My wife and I spent the summer at Indigo, it is one of the nicest rv park we have been in. The staff is very friendly and do a good job of keeping the park clean. A new wifi system was put in last week, works much better than the old system. The clubhouse is about half way done, should be ready for next year. If you are visiting the Sleeping Bear Dunes area or Traverse City this is the nicest park in the area to stay. - traveling Winne

Very nice place. Well kept sites for sale. Missing many potential sites and buildings so the place is still under construction. A little too much raw weedy areas for me, I guess some people like it. During my 4 nights there was a sprinkler running on a dead patch of lawn, water running down the street the entire time. - Dennis_K

Nice park. The overnight sites are heavily wooded so a satellite signal is very difficult/impossible to get. Other than that it is well kept with most seasonal sites neat and the staff very friendly. Would stay here again. - RBH

Great park near Sleeping Bear Dunes! Many seasonal campers but all folks from front office to nearby campers were very friendly. Sites were wide, long and level...but be aware of dense shade so pretty dark even in the daytime. Cable TV would be a definite plus. That being said it is a very restful park! - KarenK
Jul 2013 - $38.00
Great campground. If in the area, I would stay here again. My family did not want to leave. This place is in a great location to see the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park and to take advantage of all the outdoor activities (or just relax). There are a few quirky things you should know and be ready for--hook-ups are strange (bring extra water hose and electric cord), no cable, coin showers ($1 is about enough). Other than that, this place was super! - Columbus OH
Aug 2012 - $36.00
This was a well kept up campground...the workers that run the place are very helpful about the local area. Lots of shade. The only bad I can see about this place is poor reception on the TV and the water pressure is a little weak. I would most definitely stay again. We stayed here for eight nights. - trails2hike

The original version, I mean. I got one on Ebay for $125 new. But now I see all of the threads about upgrading the LED's....and now the new "pro" version that puts out twice(?) the light (not to mention the Tridenx).
My other light is a halogen, the Marwi Nightpro Torch.....15 watt (I think, or is it only 10?). It's been very dependable and casts a decent beam, but I wanted to upgrade to the LED's and the lithium battery. How do you think the two compare (if not familiar with the Torch, just replace with a 15 watt halogen you do know.....the Torch is kind of a flood/spot compromise, though I'd say more flood than spot).
Thanks ahead of time.

German Photo Book Award 2012 Gold
Swiss Photobooks from 1927 to the PresentA different History of Photography
Edited by Peter Pfrunder, Fotostiftung Schweiz in cooperation with Martin Gasser and Sabine Münzenmaier
Swiss Photobooks from 1927 to the Present offers a new overview of the history of Swiss photography. The focus is on seventy selected photobooks, from classics to long-forgotten publications or brilliant works by contemporary photographic artists. The individual books are presented with lavish series of illustrations and texts by highly-esteemed authors, while five longer essays position them in their respective eras. An extensive bibliography completes this volume.
Swiss Photobooks is a chronologically organized reference work that traces photography's transition from a document to a subjective or artistic means of expression. It also pays homage to the photobook, which has repeatedly shown itself to be an ideal medium for the presentation of photographic work.
With this compact presentation published on the occasion of its fortieth anniversary the Fotostiftung Schweiz adds to its earlier standard works on the history of Swiss photography and in the process provides a new key to understanding an important aspect of contemporary visual culture since the 1920s.

Very briefly, what do you do and what is your session about?
I am the Director of Creative Licensing and Business Affairs for Ghoslty International and Ghostly Songs. In short, my job is to collect royalties for our artists alongside my team, and to find great places to license our songs and masters to. My session is about Microcent royalties - at first, seems boring, but these streams of income add up very quickly, and as the industry moves to an on-demand/streaming model, they're becoming more and more important. I hope, alongside my panelists, to give folks a road map.
How/why did you get started in the music industry?
I got lucky, and got an internship which turned into a part time job while finishing up school — the label needed someone to look after the increasing number of licensing requests coming in, and I ended up being able to teach myself on the job how to do that well.
How many years have you attended/spoke at SXSW in the past? If this is your first time at SXSW, what are you expecting?
I've probably attended 6 out of the last 8 SXSW conferences, and have been a mentor in the Indie Village but never a speaker, always wanted to, though. I love the confluence of most of our industry being in one place, all that you can learn and the new acts you can see, and the fact that Austin is usually a tad bit warmer than Michigan in March isn't bad either.
Best thing that's happened in music in the last year?
In general, I see that musicians are being a bit more open to non-standard, odd usages and interesting ideas. We've suffered, as an industry, from a bit of head-in-the-sand, and I'm happy to see that we're looking at more ways for artists to have thriving careers while not giving away the farm at the same time.
Favorite new app/service/tech development in music?
To be honest, I haven't downloaded it, but I'm quite interested in Beats Music — it's interesting to see another competitor in this arena and from what I've heard, one that took the time to try and get it right.
What's the biggest issue facing the music business today? Can it be overcome?
I think the biggest issue facing our industry is trying to sort a fair way to compensate original artists for their work but to do it in a regulated system, almost like mechanical royalties of sorts, for mash-up and remix artists. This form of art isn't going away, so it'd behoove us to figure out a way to make it work for all involved.
What's the last live show you saw that floored you?
Sigur Ros @ Laneway Festival, Detroit in 2013.
Favorite moment/weirdest thing you saw from a past SXSW?
I think it was at the Warp Records party at SXSW (Red 7, perhaps) two years ago. I saw Oneohtrix Point Never for the first time live, and was blown away by how awesome it is.
What artist(s) are you most looking forward to seeing perform at SXSW 2014?
I usually take a somewhat random approach to each day, but I wouldn't be sad if I caught a set by Connan Mockasin.
Tacos or BBQ?
Hear Jeremy Peters on the Makin' Cents: Why Microcents Count panel on Thursday, March 13th at 3:30pm in ACC Room17B.

April 1-28 (4 weeks, 2 lessons per week)
Cost: $15 members; $25 nonmembers
Workshop Summary: Ever wonder what you're supposed to "put" in between those four or five turning points of your story? Susan Meier's Journey Steps, No Frills Guide to Plotting, provides quick, easy solutions for any author who has ever wondered "now what?" Topics include the "magic formula" for plotting, the list of five, explanation of plot threads versus subplot and tricks for writing an "edge-of-the-seat" read. Learn to tell your story in one straight-forward paragraph that can be used for pitches! Plotters, pantsers, beginners, intermediate and experienced authors will benefit from this workshop.
Topics include:
Recommended "Prep" Work from Presenter: As far as prep work, I always assume that participants are working on a manuscript. I tell people to always focus on one (only one) book as we are going through the lessons and doing assignments. That way they can see the effect of the lessons in total. But if I were giving "real" prep work...I think the best way to come into this workshop is with a new story in mind. Have main characters and the characters' goals, motivations and conflicts...things that really will work! It would be great if participants could write out a one paragraph story summary (instructions for which can be found in the archives of my blog) and we'll take it from there.
More about Susan: A one-time legal secretary and director of a charitable foundation, Susan Meier found her bliss when she became a full-time novelist for Harlequin. She's visited ski lodges and candy factories for "research" and works in her pajamas.
But the real joy of her job is creating stories about women for women. In her 50 published novels, she tackles issues like infertility, losing a child and becoming widowed with sensitivity and humor. Her books have finaled for and won many contests including Reader's Choice Awards, Golden Leaf, More Than Magic, Cataromance and RT Reviewer's Choice Awards. Her 2013 releases include THE BILLIONAIRE'S BABY SOS, A FATHER FOR HER TRIPLETS and THE FAMILY CHRISTMAS SHE ALWAYS WANTED, as well as an anthology THE BILLIONAIRE'S MATCHMAKER with friends, Shirley Jump, Jackie Braun and Barbara Wallace. Her popular website www.susanmeier.com has recipes, workshops for writers and short stories featuring the characters in previous books. Her Monday morning blog post Dear Writers shares tricks and tips and how to make your manuscript the best it can be.

Investing $367,500 for 110 jobs sounds like a good investment for county commissioners and the Fletcher Town Council.
Both commissioners and the town will hold public hearings May 9 on whether to give Raflatac the economic incentives. The two governments are hoping the company's Finland-based headquarters will pick Fletcher as the site for an expansion.
The incentives would cost the county $96,000 over five years and Fletcher $271,500 over the same period. Both ought to approve the incentives.
The $24 million expansion is expected to create 110 jobs that would pay an average of $630 a week plus benefits. Few industries offer those kinds of jobs any more, and local government is smart to go after them.
Raflatac's Mills River plant employed 193 before the company began a recent expansion there. County commissioners agreed to give Raflatac $1,078,000 over seven years. In return, Raflatac agreed to invest another $40 million in the plant and add 70 more jobs. Company President Dan O'Connell said the plant has already hired 50 of the workers.
The company produces pressure sensitive adhesive labels. It is a clean industry that is growing quickly during a time of slow job creation in other industries.
Persuading Raflatac to continue expanding and to add more high-paying jobs here is a good use of tax dollars.

The process of digging out a mammoth's tusk is pretty basic.
The guy in charge might have a doctorate in organismal biology and anatomy, as does Christian Sidor of the Burke Museum.
But Thursday afternoon he and three colleagues were in the ground 30 feet below street level using a shovel, a spade and sometimes just their hands to move dirt. The tusk is heading to the museum.
They had uncovered about 7 feet of it at the South Lake Union apartment complex construction site where it was found Tuesday and speculate that the tusk might be 3 or 4 feet longer.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Sidor was pretty excited. He planned to work through the night, if necessary.
"The Burke has 25 mammoth fossils from King County, but most are very fragmented. There is nothing as complete as this," he said.
His official title is vertebrate paleontology curator for the museum.
Sidor figured that by the time it was pulled up, after being encased in plaster, the tusk would weigh about 500 pounds.
He happily noted the construction site had a 137-foot crane to hoist it up.
Eventually, people will be able to view the tusk at the museum and hopefully learn about life in the Puget Sound region when it resembled an Arctic plain.
Actually, Puget Sound didn't even exist. Just flatlands in between ice ages.
Right now, Sidor said, before carbon dating will be done, he figured the tusk was probably 22,000 years old, and maybe even 60,000 years old.
The mammoths around here, called Columbian mammoths, were big guys.
They were the size of modern-day African elephants, with an adult male weighing 15,000 to 20,000 pounds.
The mammoths were vegetarians, gobbling up 300 to 600 pounds of green eats a day, said another of the staffers at the dig, Bax Barton, a research associate in the Burke's paleontology division.
He figured the region had three or four herds of the mammoths, with each herd consisting of 30 to 40 animals.
As the climate changed and became warmer, said Barton, forests formed and that left less food.
The property at Mercer Street and Pontius Avenue North where the apartment complex is being constructed is owned by AMLI Residential, a multibillion-dollar company with apartments around the country.
Scott Koppelman, an executive with the company in Seattle, said that "after getting a little nervous" when told about the discovery of the tusk, we "realized the benefits far outweighed the cost," even if it meant some construction delay.
There are no state or federal laws that would have prevented AMLI from going ahead with construction and destroying the tusk.
But Koppelman said "community involvement is very important" to the company.
Sidor said he didn't expect that more mammoth remains would be found. He said scavenger animals would have eaten most of the mammoth, but not the tusk because it had no nutritional value.
But if more of the mammoth was found, said Sidor, "Of course, we'd love to have it."
Koppelman said, "We'll deal with that when we cross it."
On the east side of the construction site is the backside of a building housing the Bright Horizons Child Care, which had a small outdoor walkway.
The kids and staffers certainly hoped more of the mammoth would be found, talking about how neat that would be.
The staffers made plans to make sure to watch at 4 p.m. Friday, when the tusk is expected to be lifted up.
The kids chanted, "Dig it! Dig it up!"

NORTH SYDNEY, Australia, July 13. AUSTRALIAN '64 Olympian Brett Hill died suddenly from a heart attack last Friday morning, as he was getting out of the pool after completing his own swim session.
Earlier in the day, the 57-year-old assistant coach at the Willoughby pool had supervised the daily morning squad with friend and head coach Graeme Brewer (Moscow Olympic bronze 200 free).
Hill reached the 200 butterfly final in Tokyo in 1964, finishing seventh behind Aussi great Kevin Berry who broke his own world record in that final.
After retiring from competitive swimming, Hill played some years of first grade rugby with the Northern Suburbs club where this correspondent had the pleasure of playing alongside him.
"Hilly" will be remembered as a man who was passionate about his sport, whether participant, coach or spectator.

Once in a Lifetime: Dubai
The city of Dubai is not one to do things by half - from fantastic restauarants and bars to unique outdoor activities. Take on these unique, truly mind-blowing experiences and we promise you wont forget your trip to this city any time soon…
Camel Riding and Sandboarding Safari
For us, this is a uniquely Dubai experience as they get: you're picked up in the morning from Dubai in a four-wheel drive and driven into the desert to meet your camel. You then climb on and start a half-hour trek across the red dunes of Margham. The views are as breathtaking as any we've seen. Our favourite bit comes next: the adrenaline gets pumping by strapping on a sandboard and 'surfing' down the dunes to the valley floor. All this, and you're back in Dubai by lunch. Arabian Adventures, +971 4 303 4888, www.arabian-adventures.com.
Ski in a Desert
Swap suntan lotion for gloves and hats and hit the powder in one of the world's biggest indoor, real-snow slopes - it's also the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East. We've got both seasoned skiers and wannabe snowboarders among us, and there are slopes and lessons to accommodate everyone. There's also a snow park if you just want to throw a few snowballs. Ski Dubai, Mall of the Emirates, Sheikh Zayed Road, +971 534 7873, www.skidxb.com.
Eat at the Top of the World
For the height of Dubai's fine dining, we love Atmosphere, a restaurant and bar situated on level 122 of the world's tallest building. We'd highly recommending getting a seat by the window, and enjoying the food and the views out over the Arabian Gulf, 442 metres above the ground. It holds the Guinness World Record for the Highest Restaurant from Ground Level! Atmosphere, Burj Khalifa, +971 4 888 3444, www.atmosphereburjkhalifa.com.
Sleep Under the Stars, Desert Safari Dubai
To really experience the calm and quiet of the desert, we reckon you have to spend a night out on the dunes. We like this one because it also includes camel rides, dune bashing and dune driving, belly dancing, shisha, traditional costumes, Arabic coffee, a barbeque and henna tattoos. Not to mention sleeping bags and blankets. We recommend bringing along your camera to capture the sunrise and the sunset over the desert.+971 4 357 2200, www.desertsafaridubai.com.

Connecting with other Gay Parents
Does anyone know of any organizations that offer support groups for gay/lesbian parents or children of gay/ lesbian parents? I have a toddler daughter who is getting to the questions stage and I would like to get some support for my daughter and myself. She is only exposed to ''straight couples'' and i think it would be good for her to see other families like ours. Please help! lesbian mother
from there, you will find all sorts of resources, families, groups, etc. for gay and lesbian families; there's a ton in the bay area! good luck! Lisa
My daughter has been interviewed by Cal students researching the effects of homosexuality on parenting and spoke several years ago at a conference on the subject. Her summary comment was this: My mother was first and last the character Rondi; that she was gay was no more important than any other fact about her. I would say that she benefitted directly from learning early on how to stand for what you know to be true.
I am currently fostering two black kids ages 2 1/2 and 6. My partner and I waited for several months before we told the 6 year old boy that we were gay, and after an initial ''yuck'', he seems more able to acknowledge his passionate friendships with other boys. The younger child is jealous of our connection but has the great benefit of seeing two loving adults daily expressing partnership.
There's a great film about the tolerance of children (I forget the name...) You daughter is so lucky to have a lesbian mom! Rondi
1. ''Our Family'' puts out a monthly newletter and elist of Bay Area activities for queer families. I think it's $20/year to join. http://www.ourfamily.org
2. ''Mamas & Papas'' is a new group for queer parents with kids 5 and under that meets at the new queer center in SF. You can contact Julia Friedlander firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Both these overnight camps provide age-specific camp groups/activities for kids so parents get a chance to mingle.
1. Camp Tawonga/Keshet Camp is a 4-day long weekend camp for queer families. Tawonga is a Jewish camp, but everyone is welcome. (We're not Jewish.) http://www.tawonga.org/.
2. Camp It Up! is a queer family camp. (Can't find a listing at this time!)
One thing I did before my daughter was born was to join a queer parenting group that was advertised through the personals in the paper. You could do something like that, too. Post a listing here looking for queer families with kids your daughter's age who live near you! The group I've joined has been meeting the first Sunday of the month for almost five years now (for breakfast, rotating homes). This informal group has been a great source of support for us.
For lesbian families who are pregnant, Maia Midwifery offers childbirth classes. My group didn't bond AT ALL during the classes. However, we had a reunion after the babies were born, and we decided to meet monthly. Our kids are now turning three, and we still get together.
Good luck! Queer single mom and almost three year old daughter

The 9th Independent Games Festival has been announced.
Quote from IGF.com
We're pleased to announce the 2007 Independent Games Festival, relaunching for our 9th year with a new website and some subtle but delightful changes to the competition. You'll be able to find out more by checking the About page and the Awards page, but here's the basic goodness:
– the IGF Main Competition, a resounding success in 2006, has received a few minor tweaks (slight category name changes, a demo is mandatory to enter the Audience Award if a finalist), but continues with the $20,000 Seumas McNally Grand Prize, and multiple $2,500 awards for innovative design, audio, technical, art, and best web game. We're really looking forward to your entries, and the deadline this year is September 8, 2006 at 11:59pm PDT.
– the IGF Mod Competition, a big hit in its first year, is going even more freeform this year, and allowing mods from any game to compete – from Thief to Half-Life 2 to Oblivion to The Sims and beyond, all mods are eligible. From the entrants, we will pick Best Singleplayer FPS Mod, Best Multiplayer FPS Mod, Best RPG Mod, and Best 'Other' Mod finalists (each a $500 prize), and those winners will show at the 2007 GDC, competing for an overall $5,000 Best Mod prize. Deadline for entrants is October 13, 2006 at 11:59pm PDT.
– the IGF Student Showcase, which continues to be one of the most hotly contested parts of the Festival, we're continuing to honor the ten Student Showcase Winners with $500 travel stipends and a chance to show their game at GDC 2007. But we're also adding a $2,500 Best Student Game award, honoring the absolute best student game submitted to the IGF this year. Deadline for entrants this year is November 10, 2006 at 11.59pm PDT.
In addition to all this, we're pleased to announce that all Independent Games Festival finalists will also be playable in the IGF Pavilion at GDC from March 7-9, 2007, alongside an IGF/indie gaming-themed day of lectures and roundtables on March 6, new for 2007 to help coalesce the IGF community – more information on this will be released at a later date.

Just when you think political debate can't descend any lower, it goes and takes a nosedive.
Case in point: the burning controversy over whether Sarah Palin's breasts have had some recent enhancement of the surgical variety.
The rumor was fueled by blogs on the left, and is an example of the continuing liberal fascination with various intimate aspects of Sarah Palin's body. Here's the montage that launched a thousand speculations. The older photos are on the left and in the middle, and the newest (which purports to be of the rumored recent additions, and was taken at the Belmont racetrack) is on the right:
Now I will go on the record as saying that, although I myself have so far resisted the siren call of cosmetic surgery (much too much of a wimp), I'm not going to be criticizing politicians who go under the knife in order to look better. Joe Biden's hair transplants and Nancy Pelosi's botox injections—to name just two obvious examples from perhaps legions of possibilities—move me not.
I think that, especially in the world of harsh public exposure known as politics, it's understandable to want to look your best, and as you age that becomes more and more difficult. And if Sarah Palin feels that, after mothering five children (or four, if you happen to believe Andrew Sullivan), her chest could use a bit of help, far be it from me to criticize her. .
That said, I think the case for Sarah having had implants is rather weak, although certainly possible. But those who suggest she has done so based merely on the evidence of the photo above in the white shirt are ignoring a couple of basic things about breasts, clothing, and posture—things most women learn some time during adolescence or shortly thereafter.
The first is that much the same can be accomplished by the wearing of a more structured bra than usual, imparting to the chest a bit more oomph.
The second is that shirts with a scooped and gathered neckline such as the one Palin wears in the photo on the right maximize the area in question. To do the opposite—to minimize—one can wear the sort of tailored blouses and suits Palin usually sports.
The third is that slumping ever-so-slightly (as in those photos on the left and in the middle) tends to make a person look less well-endowed, whereas standing up and arching the mid- and especially the upper back—as Sarah happens to be doing in the photo on the right—does exactly the opposite.
So posture can change the look of things quite a bit. In fact, here's an example for you—another photo of Palin, taken at the racetrack on that very same day in that very same white shirt. In this one, however, Palin is not arching her back. You may note that, had this been the only Palin photo taken that day, the implant rumor would in all likelihood have never gotten off the ground:
Ah, how the mighty have fallen.

Hold the Tebow hype for a moment, it's Miller Time
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Forget Tim Tebow for just a moment. It's Miller Time in Denver.
Broncos linebacker Von Miller, the second overall selection in the draft, has led Denver's defensive revival along with pass-rushing partner Elvis Dumervil.
The duo has been collecting sacks and crumpling quarterbacks at a prolific pace over the last three weeks, battering Carson Palmer, Matt Cassel and Mark Sanchez in wins over the Raiders, Chiefs and Jets.
They've combined for seven sacks over that span and have become the first pair of teammates in more than a decade to share a QB sandwich sack in three straight games.
With Dumervil full speed again after dealing with nagging shoulder and ankle ailments, he and Miller have finally been able to unleash a potent 1-2 punch that Miller has dubbed "Batman and Robin."
Miller's best game came last week against the Jets, when he had 10 tackles, nine of them solo, including 1 1/2 sacks and three tackles for loss to go with a forced fumble and a pass breakup.
It also earned him his first AFC Defensive Player of the Week honor.
"I think it means a lot more to my teammates than it does to me," Miller said. "I feel like it's a sign of the type of defense that we've been playing. ... I feel like they had to give it to somebody, so they just gave it to me, but we've been playing such good defense, anybody on the defense could have gotten it."
Indeed, Denver's defense is the under-told story in the Broncos' return to respectability. At 5-5, they're a game behind Oakland in the AFC West race heading into Sunday's showdown at San Diego.
If not for the Broncos' stingy defense that's finally jelling under Dennis Allen, the team's sixth defensive coordinator in as many seasons, all those fourth-quarter comebacks engineered by Tebow wouldn't have been possible.
"One thing about that quarterback: he's going to keep grinding, and as a defense, we've just got to keep the team in the game, because in the fourth quarter, you never know what you're going to get," cornerback Champ Bailey said. "We're never out of it. It's a good feeling, because I know if we're close, we've got a chance."
Without any offseason because of the lockout, Allen's scheme took some time to take hold, and it's congealing just as Dumervil, Bailey, D.J. Williams and Marcus Thomas have hit stride after dealing with injuries during the first half of the season.
Allen is starting to throw more at his players, who are creating more and more mayhem for quarterbacks.
"We've been able to add more things the last couple weeks," safety Brian Dawkins said. "I think early on we were making too many mental mistakes and giving up too many big plays down the field. Obviously as a D-coordinator, you're not going to be amped to call things if you think mistakes are going to be made. I think that him seeing we've picked up the things we needed to pick up and communicating on a better level now, and understanding what he wants in the basic scheme of things, he's able to add more.
"And adding those things is adding more pressure on the offenses, because we're able to do more things and send more attacks at them. I'm liking where we're headed."
With fewer mistakes and technical hiccups has come more production.
"It's just the gelling effect on the team," Miller said, "and the outside world is starting to notice."
Allen has started to line up Miller at times over the center, where it's easier for him to slice through guards than tackles, who are generally more athletic and agile.

http://neverfear.org/blog/view/123/Auto_Generate_Forms_With_Django_s_ModelForm (which may not be distilled as far as "short and sweet" allows) says, "Here's how to use Django ModelForm in a nutshell; if you want to dive in, consult the official docs."
I don't know that all areas of Django admit as good a "short and sweet" version where 10% of the material covered in the official documentation covers 90% of the use, but would it make sense to have, in the documentation, a "short and sweet nutshell" section at the top, and then "full details" which would be largely unedited versions of the existing documentation? Again, I don't know that this area is representative, but existing Django docs would be improved by having something do the job an abstract does in an academic publication. Even if someone really needs the full details, a brief orientation in the nutshell might help ward off "can't see the forest for the trees" syndrome.

While giving people the "short and sweet" version is always nice, there's very little consensus on what "short and sweet" ever really needs to cover. It's a very subjective topic.
Django's docs are divided up into sections to some degree along those types of lines already... there are sections for introduction, how-to, in-depth topic guides, and thorough reference pages.
So, in short, this issue is too broad to ever really be completed. If you feel there are specific pages in the docs that lack a proper introduction, feel free to open tickets for them individually with suggestions (or patches) for what ought to be contained in them.
