Can Honeycrisp Apples Be Used for Baking?
It's September and the apples are rolling in! I have already had all sorts of varieties and many more to come! I wanted to take a moment to look at one apple that has been gaining in popularity over the last decade – the Honeycrisp. I first have to state this isn't my favorite apple. Please resist the urge to hit the back button on your browser. I am just not a fan of the skin. The flavor can still be good, but the quality can vary from apple to apple as would be expected with an apple grown by so many sources some for flavor, some just for profit. As it is a popular apple I felt I needed to spend more time with it so I can help my readers understand how this apple can be used. So the first question to address is can you bake with Honeycrisp? I will answer that question by answering a series of questions.
Do Honeycrisp Apples Hold Their Shape? | Answer: YES
The most important factor for me when it comes to baking with an apple is can it hold it's shape when baked. I don't want to bake a pie and have it filled with applesauce. The Honeycrisp does in fact hold it's shape and does so quite well. Actually it came out perfectly in terms of texture.
Are Honeycrisp Too Sweet to Bake With? | Answer: NO
When baking with an apple you want some tartness. Since you will be adding sugar either to the apples or the topping or both, you want to balance out that sweetness. Honeycrisp does have enough in the way of tartness to satisfy this requirement.
Do Baked Honeycrisp Apples Have Good Flavor | Answer: YES
Again not being my favorite apple, I think there are apples out there that bake up with better flavor, the Honeycrisp does retain some good flavor when baked. I was pleased with the results.
The Final Verdict – Can You Bake with Honeycrisp? | Answer: YES
Honeycrisp meets all the criteria for a baking apples, so feel free to use them in any apple baking application. The best baking apples typically come in October, so having Honeycrisp around to use in early September is a nice perk as they aren't a lot of good baking apples at the start of the primary season.
Individual Honeycrisp Apple Cobbler
I tested Honeycrisp out by making individual apple cobblers. I used oven safe tea cups. Going the individual route helps control the portion you eat as well as makes for less cleanup as you are eating the cobbler right out of what you cook it in. I sweetened the apples (and added more flavor) with just a touch of maple syrup and added standard crumble topping (flour, brown sugar, and butter) along with some cinnamon and Demerara sugar for a little crunch.
Find out where you can purchase apple cider made with Honeycrisp apples
- 3-4 Honeycrisp apples, cored, peeled, and sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup (grade B if you can find it)
- For the topping
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- sprinkling of Demerara sugar (optional)
- Peel, core, and slice the apples.
- Distribute them evenly among 3 oven proof ramekins or cups.
- Add about 1/2 tablespoon of maple syrup to each cooking vessel.
- Mix together the flour and the brown sugar.
- Add the butter. Using your hands rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles cornmeal.
- Evenly distribute the topping. Sprinkle the cinnamon and Demerara sugar (if using) on top.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve hot, room temperature, or cold whatever floats your boat!

The night clubs play some of the country's best house music, bikinis are minuscule and the average temperature in the winter is in the high-60s.
It's one big party, and while that may help woo NBA stars to bring their talents there, it may make it a tough place to actually play.
Udonis Haslem's pot arrest on Sunday only proves to exemplify such.
As captain of the Miami Heat for the past two seasons, Haslem has somewhat of a responsibility to set an example for his teammates.
While he may not have been pushing weight like Bam Morris, being caught with over 20 grams of marijuana means this likely wasn't just a one-time deal, or even an occasional foray into the weed world.
Granted, Haslem got unlucky in that he was caught in the midst of a routine traffic stop, but this was neither an act of great judgement or a positive sign as to his focus on basketball.
And Haslem isn't a rookie, or even 25. He's 30. While Michael Beasley may have just been Michael Beasley, the second-overall pick couldn't shake his weed habit in South Beach, and he didn't develop on the court like he should have.
Obviously, Miami is far from the only NBA city where pot is available. The Golden State Warriors play in Oakland — the first major city in America to decriminalize marijuana. Night clubs aren't a Miami phenomenon either — even if Jersey Shore makes it seem like South Beach's really are the best out there.
The problem is that it takes a mature team to focus in a place like Miami. The 2006 Miami Heat championship team had outspoken veteran leaders like Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning and Gary Payton.
Los Angeles, a city with similar pitfalls to Miami, has managed to continually field successful Lakers teams because of a great coach and a similarly veteran-laden roster.
The 2010 Heat's veteran presence is Haslem.
It goes without saying that the "New Big Three" of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh make the team the most talented in the NBA, but here's a question: Does it seem like those guys wanted to play together or hang out together?
Bosh, Wade and James all seem to thoroughly be enjoying their celebrity — far more than they have in the past, and that generally coincides with partying. If James' Decision was indicative of anything, it was a lack of maturity and self awareness. In addition, the recent LeBron Vegas party expose showed us that the guy likes to go out hard.
Jeff Van Gundy may predict a record-shattering season for the Heat, and they may now be favorites in the Eastern Conference, but they'll have to find a way to stay focused on basketball.
When you're wealthy and 25 in a world with perfect weather, techno, and bikinis, that's a pretty tall order. It's even taller when your captain is leading you down the wrong path.

NOTE: Many descendants of Elijah came forward to help with this history. Some of them were Frances Roberts; the children of William Lephly Beard, particularly Layne and Connie Beard; James Beard, William Lephly's grandson; Kent Nichols, great great grandson of Josiah Littleton; and Nannette Elizabeth Piggott Perry of Australia, widow of a great grandson of John Marshall Beard. If you contributed and we forgot to thank you, comment below and we will fix it!
Elijah Beard, born between 1798 and 1800 in Green County or Adair County, Kentucky, was one of the "three little boys" who were the last children of Samuel and Rebecca. He spent the early years of his childhood along the Green River in Kentucky, living amid many related families on the rolling hills of south Kentucky. In the 1810 to 1820 time period he moved into middle Tennessee with his parents and siblings and they lived in Maury County first, then in neighboring Bedford County not far from Shelbyville. Elijah then lived his entire adult life in Tennessee. Because he died at an early age in 1845, he is not listed on any census records after 1840. The 1850 census was the first one to provide any details about the listed families, including names of wives, children, and place of birth, and he died before that was recorded. When we examine the census records for Elijah's older children, we find that they list Kentucky as their father's place of birth. The younger children list Tennessee, as they apparently did not know the details of his history as well. In the 1820 census, Elijah was apparently living in his father's home in Bedford County, Tennessee, as Samuel Beard was listed with seven males in his household with him. Elijah would have been a single young man at this time. We do have an early record of him signing a petition for a bridge to be built across the Duck River in Bedford County in 1822, so he was of age by then, and by the 1830 census, he had married and was head of his own household in Bedford County. His elder brother Hugh Beard was nearby. About 1825, Elijah had married Martha Wilson Patton, the last of the nine children of John Patton and Mary Wilson of Bedford County. Martha's father John Patton was a Revolutionary War soldier, just as Elijah's father Samuel was, also. John Patton had come to Tennessee from North Carolina. Martha Patton was born in Wilson County, Tennessee 2 March 1800 and her family brought her to Bedford County, just two counties south, when she was very young. On the 1830 census, Elijah was between thirty and forty, Martha was between twenty and thirty, and they had two little boys and a girl, all under five years old. The girl must have died before the next census, for she is not listed in it or in future censuses. In 1840, the family appeared on the rolls of neighboring Lincoln County with Elijah now forty to fifty, Martha thirty to forty, two boys ten to fifteen, two boys five to ten, and three little girls under five.
Elijah and Martha would eventually have a total of five sons and four daughters at their table. Eight of these children would grow up to be a vigorous tribe of descendants, providing many early settler families of Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. When Elijah died in 1845, he left a large family fatherless but his wife, sons, and daughters managed to stick together and take care of each other through that challenge and then through Civil War and Reconstruction years. Because these many children married and successfully raised many children, Elijah and Martha's descendants would settle in many states of the union, and some are today living as far away as Australia! Several of the descendants have kept careful records of their family stories, and in this article we will include the overview of Elijah's children as well as his life story.
In the mid to late 1830s, Elijah's brothers all left middle Tennessee for other places. Their parents had died and this part of the country suffered a devastating series of disasters--large tornado damage, loss of infrastructure, a cholera epidemic, and economic downturns, to cite a few. His brothers Samuel, David, and William all went back up to Adair County, Kentucky. Elijah's older brother Hugh went south into Panola County, Mississippi along with some of the family of their older brother James, who apparently also died in Tennessee in the 1830s. Elijah stayed put in Tennessee. His wife was from an old and very large family in middle Tennessee and Martha and Elijah must have decided their roots were deep there. They were very involved with their church at Mount Harmon Baptist and Elijah served as the clerk of the church for several years. Descendants have copies of some minutes that Elijah penned himself, so his literacy is assured. One question that descendants have wondered is, why did Elijah not own land? His father and uncles were large landowners in every state in which they lived and owned lands in Bedford County. What happened to it? Tennessee courthouses, including Bedford County, have unfortunately burned several times since the 1830s, but we may be able to see some reasons for the dilution of land and/or wealth. The way many early pioneer families such as our Beards "grew" their wealth was to move further west, to lands newly offered for sale by the state government. The land was cheap in order to encourage settlement, so a sale of land in an established county at the going price would always buy many more acres of land in the new locale, which would then rapidly appreciate again. In middle Tennessee in the 1830s, however, at least three catastrophic events would certainly have affected Elijah's family. A general economic depression and slump in goods and prices took place. Terrible tornadoes decimated the entire area in 1833, wrecking many businesses and homes. Rebuilding after such devastation would have taken a very long time back then. On the heels of all this, waves of sickness came--cholera epidemics swept across the towns and villages, depressing trade, business, and the economy even more. Even if Samuel Beard's land and property was sold and divided after his death in 1834-1835, he had so many children, the portion for each could not have been large. Elijah may have taken his share of the proceeds but then had it wiped out by circumstances beyond his control. This may also be a reason that we see all the other sons leaving middle Tennessee at this time, looking for greener pastures.
One interesting detail of the family's early history is the fact that Joseph Patton Beard, the third son of Elijah and Martha, consistently reported on census records that he and his father Elijah were both born in Kentucky. It is certainly possible that his family was up in Kentucky on a visit to relatives--or even that they moved up to Kentucky for a short time--when Joseph was born in November of 1833. It is also interesting that the next child, Eliza Jane, was not born until 1837, and she was born in Tennessee. Possibly the whole family were living in Kentucky in late 1833 and had moved back to Tennessee by 1837. We do note that Samuel Beard himself was present in Adair County, Kentucky in 1833 when he sold some land to his nephew Hugh S. Beard.
In 1922, the State of Tennessee decided to make a record of the lives and thoughts of their living Civil War veterans. The ranks of these men were thinning, and a detailed questionaire full of probing questions was provided for them in order to learn about their lives before, during, and after the War. We are extremely fortunate that one of our own, Elijah's youngest son William David "Lane" Beard, took the time and effort to write thoughtful answers and observations to be passed along to future generations and made a part of our history. In his writing, Lane Beard said that his father Elijah was a blacksmith by trade and lived at Mount Harmon in Bedford County and also for a time lived south of Lewisburg in Marshall County. He shod steers, horses, and did general blacksmith work. He also farmed some. Martha Patton Beard wove and spun cotton, in addition to all the general house work. Her son said that in the daytime she would pick cotton for her spinning, which she did at night. As their grandson John Marshall Beard wrote in 1923, "It was then our mothers and sisters made and wore their homespun dresses and sunbonnets, and the fathers and sons donned their homemade jeans suits, brogan shoes and paper collars. Then cotton and wool cards, spinning wheels, warping bars, and looms were used in nearly every home, in order to manufacture the clothing the family wore....It was in those days that mothers were keepers of the home, whose counsel and advice was sought and recognized by their sons and daughters; when parental influence governed and not the frivolities of the world."
Lane Beard continued in his questionaire to give us a picture of life in the time of his childhood before the War. According to him, manual labor was considered "respectable and honorable in my neighborhood". He wrote that a renter did not have a chance to save much of anything. Slave holders were the only ones who could manage to make enough money to get ahead. Anyone could go to Nashville and enter (claim) land, but the trip to Nashville itself and the entry fees charged discouraged them and "for this reason poor people took leases and never did have anything ahead". The children, when not working in the fields, went to a log school building that was furnished with log slabs with legs for benches. It was about three miles to the nearest school, he tells us. In the Beards' neighborhood, there were the Collins school house, the Marshall Academy, and one other academy whose name is difficult to make out. School did not "run" more than three or four months of each year, and some of the children had to work and could not go often. They always had a male teacher. "I never did see a woman teacher when a boy."
Elijah was the son of a veteran of the Revolution, Lane confirms. "Grandfather Beard was a private soldier in Revolutionary War. Ireland is the country come from to this country. He left a gold ring with his wife when he left." We know from our research that the family originated centuries ago in Scotland, probably the Lowlands of Scotland, and were a part of the Scots migration to lands in northern Ireland during the plantation years there. A century later there was another migration from there to America. Lane Beard tells us that his father Elijah was not a landowner; he was a "renter all his life and died so". Elijah did not own any slaves. The living conditions were typical for this part of the country at this time: they lived in a log house with two rooms, with a "stick and dirt" chimney. The boys would work in the fields, with the younger ones pulling weeds. When Lane was nine, he was able to plow and "make a regular hand". They worked "many a day right among slaves and just the same kind of work as slaves."
The gold ring Lane mentions is interesting. We try to pinpoint a marriage date. We know that Samuel and Rebecca's eldest daughter Jane married in Green County, Tennessee in the year 1792. She must have been born in the mid 1770s. Samuel, we know, was born in 1754. By the mid 1770s he was serving long periods on the Virginia western frontiers with the Botetourt County militia, and in the early 1780s he was active with the volunteer militia serving in the Revolutionary War battles. When was this ring given? Was the ring an engagement ring or a wedding ring? Or a fine gift for his young wife? Did Samuel himself wear a gold ring and give it to Rebecca for safekeeping? We can only speculate!
After Elijah died in 1845, his five Beard sons had even more responsibilites to take on and help raise the children. John, the eldest, was about nineteen years old when his father died and his brother Josiah was seventeen. The other six children were all under thirteen. Every son seems to have taken his turn in helping to support their widowed mother and younger siblings. Every son also appears to have served the South in the War Between the States.
The eldest son, John B. Beard married Lucinda Welch in 1846. They lived next door to his widowed mother's home on the 1850 census in Marshall County, Tennessee. They had two small children. On the other side of them lived the family of H. B. (Harry Birch) Welch and Eliza Rambo Welch, Lucinda's parents. Martha's second son, Josiah Littleton Beard, lived in the home with his mother Martha with his new bride, Emmeline Patterson, whom he had married in February of 1850. Emmeline's parents, James M. Patterson Jr and Mary Reed Patterson lived a few doors away.
By 1860, Martha was living with her fourth son, Joseph and his wife Sarah Gant, who had married in 1855. Sarah was the daughter of another very old Tennessee family. Martha's sons John B. and Samuel both lived in Marshall County. John was listed as an overseer and his home was surrounded by very large plantations; he no doubt worked for one of the owners nearby. Josiah and Emmeline had packed up and moved to Texas in 1859 and were listed there in Lamar County. Her brothers Newton and George Patterson and their large families were there as well. Land was so much cheaper in Texas, rich land could be bought for under $5.00 an acres, and ambitious young and old were flocking there in covered wagons to settle. Martha was listed as a 54 year old widow and a seamstress. Her daughters Eliza, Mariba, and Matilda were also in the home with her and listed as seamstresses. Mariba would marry in just a few months to William Zachariah Gant, the cousin of Sarah Gant who married Joseph Patton Beard. William David "Lane" Beard, the youngest child, was eighteen and still at home with his mother and sisters. Samuel M. Beard, the third son of Elijah and Martha, married in 1854 to Margaret Patterson, daughter of Robert and Hannah Patterson, and he and Margaret were also living in Marshall County. Samuel was 29 and listed his occupation as a miller. They had three young children.
On the eve of Civil War, all Elijah and Martha's children and grandchildren were clustered in Marshall County with the exception of Josiah and Emmeline, who had just moved to Texas. War was coming quickly and the family would soon suffer the same terrible travails that beset most American families at this time. Josiah, Samuel, Joseph, and William David all served in the Confederate forces. They were with the 53rd Tennessee Infantry, Company B. No definite record is yet found for their brother John B. Beard. It is possible that he served as well, for in his questionaire, William David said that when he left for the War, his "mother and two sisters were left all alone without anyone to support them" and that seems to indicate that all the boys were off to the War. Mariba married in October 1860 to William Gant, so the two sisters left with their mother would have been Eliza Jane and Matilda. It is important to remember that when they left home, every soldier, north or south, thought that the War would be over in a matter of a few weeks or months. No one realized it would drag on for four long, bitter years.
Josiah, over in Texas, joined up with Company C of the 29th Texas Cavalry, along with relatives and friends from Lamar County, and spent his war on horseback.
The 53rd Tennessee Infantry was at the Battle at Fort Donelson in February of 1862 and were surrounded. They surrendered after days of siege by U. S. Grant. The men of this unit and 10,000 other Confederates were shipped off to prison camps--Camp Butler in Illinois, Camp Douglas in Chicago, Camp Chase in Ohio, and Camp Morton in Indianapolis. We know that Joseph Patton and William David Beard were in these prisons. It is almost a certainty that their brother Samuel was with them, as he served with them and all were surrendered. A prisoner exchange took place in the fall of 1862. They were taken on boats en masse down the Mississippi River to Vicksburg and released. Our Beard boys had been prisoners for seven months, according to Lane's accounts in 1923. We know from the family stories of Joseph Patton's descendants that he went home to take care of the family after the exchange. Samuel and William David rejoined their units and were soon active soldiers once again. Lane tells us that they went to Point Hudson, Louisiana (he called it Point Handson) and this would be about May of 1863. They were helping build breastworks for defense of the river. Their unit was called to rush to help defend Vicksburg and they marched, but that great city had already fallen when they arrived in July. They then joined the march to Jackson, Mississippi, pulling back from Vicksburg. By September they were at Mobile and Pensacola with General Zollicoffer of Tennessee, serving as a garrison to guard railroads to keep the Federals from cutting supply lines. Soon they were called to hurry back to Tennessee to join the Army of Tennessee near Chattanooga, at Missionary Ridge. This battle was also lost before they could get there, and they then joined the army in its march south to Dalton and Ringgold, Georgia. Lane describes wading the Chickamauga River and fighting battles from Missionary Ridge to Atlanta, where he says they "held good for two days" before they were overcome. In July 1864, Samuel M. Beard was killed in the Battle of Peachtree Creek in Atlanta. Lane said that he buried his brother there in Atlanta; most of the killed in this battle were buried where they fell by their fellows and marked with wooden crosses that soon disappeared. Today along Peachtree Creek there are a string of memorial parks dedicated to the fallen of this battle. Lane, obviously bereft at the loss of his brother, was also saddened at the loss of his colonel, James White of Giles County, Tennessee, whom he mentions in his account. With Atlanta in flames, a sad retreat was made south to Jonesboro, where the Battle of Jonesboro was fought, the last fight of the long Atlanta campaign. What remained of the 53rd then crossed Alabama and marched up toward Nashville with General John Bell Hood. By October 26 they were fighting in Decatur, Alabama, then in November in the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee, and into Nashville by December. Lane's unit moved into nearby Columbia, Tennessee for a skirmish there on December 20. He describes that on this "whole march, [we] waded through mud and water and had no rations". It was here in Columbia that he received a sick pass for home from Captain Jim Maury. Very ill with dysentery, Lane had a little over twenty miles to go to get home. He rode eight miles on a wagon, then he says he rode behind a cavalry man for four miles, and then walked the rest of the way home to Marshall County. It is no surprise that once home, he burned his uniform.
His war was over, but things were not going well at home, either. As he said, "All at home were on starvation". Things had not been easy before the War, but after it conditions were horrible. He wrote that he tried to begin farming right away, but he was still sick and had chills. The owner of the farm they rented, Tom Collins, had the eternal gratitude of Lane, for he said that Tom Collins "furnished the necessities of life" for the Beards. Even in 1923, over fifty five years after the fact, Lane remembered and made note of the kindness. Thomas Collins was born in Georgia in 1818 and raised there and in Giles County, Tennessee. He owned substantial amounts of land in Marshall County. His son William H. Collins was, like the Beard brothers, captured at Fort Donelson and sent to a northern prison camp--Camp Morton, Indiana, where he died in March 1862. The Collins family no doubt had great sympathy for what these young men had been through and helped where they could help. Ten years after the war ended, in 1875, Tom and Sarah Collins' other son Willis Paul Collins married Hannah Geneva Beard, the daughter of Samuel M. Beard, who also never came home from war.
Back in Texas, after he got home from the war, Josiah Littleton and Emmaline Beard decided to move again. They left Lamar County, Texas for Benton County, Arkansas in 1866.
By 1868, Lane Beard had recovered and was well enough to be farming and also to court Mary Ann McAdams. Mary Ann was the daughter of William McAdams and Lavinia McClain, old Marshall County families. She was the young widow of Robert H. Bagley, who may have also perished in the War. She had two small Bagley children when she married Lane Beard.
On the 1870 census, Martha Patton Beard lived with her youngest son Lane and his family in Marshall County. Her daughter Matilda was also listed in this household. Daughter Eliza Jane was not present on this census, and a marriage record is not found yet, but either death or marriage took her out of the Beard home. Daughter Mariba Adeline and husband William Gant lived in Marshall County with three children. Joseph Patton Beard and wife Sarah also lived in the county, as did Martha's eldest son John B. Beard. Soon after the census, however, both John and his wife Lucinda would die with pneumonia and leave their nine living sons and daughters without parents. Once again this Beard family would pitch in and take care of these children, and in a reprise of their history, the older children would take responsibility for the younger ones.
By 1880, several of John and Lucinda Beard's children had gone to settle in Benton County, Arkansas, close to their uncle, Josiah Littleton Beard and his wife Emmeline, who had moved there in 1866. Back in Marshall County, Tennessee, Martha Patton Beard was 73 years old and lived in son Lane's home. Her son Joseph Patton Beard and his family still lived close by.
Martha Wilson Patton Beard died 12 January 1888 in Marshall County, after a full life that saw much grief and despair, but doubtless much joy as well in such a large and active family. She was buried at Head Springs Cemetery in Lewisburg, Marshall County, Tennessee where her stone reads "M. W. Beard" with the dates. View her grave at this LINK.

Clarissa would be alarmed at Miss Howes' suggestion of loving Mr. Lovelace if she did not assume it was a joke. She examines her heart and finds no longings or love hidden within. Although she admits that Mr. Lovelace is preferable to Mr. Solmes, she is not in love with him because he is vain and arrogant with no morals. Clarissa is sure that "THIS man is not THE man," but she promises to tell Miss Howe if her feelings change. She is thankful for Miss Howe's censures and asks her to judge indifferently because she wishes to always act properly. Miss Howe hopes that Clarissa is not in love with Mr. Lovelace but will monitor her as much as possible to be sure.
Mrs. Fortescue knows Mr. Lovelace well and tells Miss Howe that he never rests more than six hours a day and spends all his time writing. Miss Howe believes his writing subjects cannot be honorable and finds it interesting that such a lively person can be calm enough to write so frequently. Mrs. Fortescue also shares that Mr. Lovelace is reasonable, has one very close friend, does not borrow from his relations or anyone, is too gay and inconsiderate to care about his reputation and is not at all a hypocrite. Although he is vain, he carries the vanity off humorously. Mr. Lovelace visits Miss Howe and shares his resentments of Clarissa's treatment at Harlowe Place and his worries that she will accept Mr. Solmes, which Miss Howe doubts.
Mr. Lovelace has found out that James and Uncle Antony have hired spies and vows revenge against the Harlowes, as Lovelace professes his affection for Clarissa. Clarissa has discovered that James has financial motives behind his resentment of Mr. Lovelace in addition to their college rivalry. James expected their grandfather, father, uncles and his godmother to bequeath their estates to him. Grandfather Harlowe left everything in his will to Clarissa already, and now James fears that his uncles will do the same, so he is trying to remove Clarissa from their favor. When the will was revealed, Clarissa made her father the manager of the estate to curb jealousies but it appears that James and Arabella's jealousies have renewed.
Uncle Harlowe and Uncle Antony only object to Mr. Lovelace's morals. Uncle Antony defends Mr. Lovelace against James and Arabella by saying that he is a gentleman, and Clarissa's prudence could serve to reform him. Mr. Lovelace's generosity is verified by an instance of convincing Uncle Antony to allow a tenant forbearance due to hardship and giving the tenant two guineas out of his own pocket. Mr. Lovelace related to Uncle Antony about a time when a husband and wife tenant of his had no clothes because of the high cost of their farm mixed with a foolish step that placed them in debt. Mr. Lovelace reduced their rent, gave them money to buy clothes and invited them to dine with him. Although Clarissa is pleased with Mr. Lovelace's generosity, this does not produce a heart flutter, and she thinks it is a shame that he is not uniformly good. Clarissa is less pleased when Miss Howe informs her that Uncle Antony's honest tenant offered Uncle Antony the two guineas as payment on his debt, and Uncle Antony accepted it, making the man penniless again.
Clarissa will be subject to her father's will if she does not agree to marry Mr. Solmes, but if she agrees, she will be rewarded with jewels, presents and praise. Mr. Solmes is willing to settle his worth on Clarissa and exclude his family. This induces the Harlowes' greed but repulses Clarissa, who feels guilty as the means of such injustice to his family. She cannot live with herself as the cause of his family losing their inheritance, nor will she sacrifice her own happiness to procure wealth for James. Mr. Solmes is interested because Clarissa's grandfather's estates is adjacent to his own and would increase his worth. James has gotten approval of most of the family and managed to ban everyone who does not agree with him from the house. Clarissa plans to ask Mrs. Harlowe for mediation when she learns that Arabella and James plan to bind themselves in a document to further Mr. Solmes' pursuit.
Clarissa is upset with the bad reports she has heard about Mr. Lovelace, and she is concerned that she must carry on her secret correspondence with him to protect her family. The Harlowes must yield because she will not marry Mr. Solmes. Miss Howe is afraid that Clarissa will concede to marriage. Miss Howe has discovered that Arabella secretly loves Mr. Lovelace and part of her motive for forcing Clarissa to become Mrs. Solmes results from this. Miss Howe wishes that Clarissa had kept her grandfather's estate under her own management because she could then retire there with Mrs. Norton, and her family could not pressure her into an imprudent marriage. Clarissa's reasons for placing her estate under her father's management were to avert jealousy and to prove herself worthy of independence by not seeking it too early.
Mr. Solmes is present at breakfast, and when Clarissa angers Mr. Harlowe by moving away from Mr. Solmes, she tries to reinstate the peace by conversing with her suitor. Her family leaves her alone with Mr. Solmes and he courts her, forcing Clarissa to flee the room. Clarissa and Mrs. Harlowe argue about Mr. Solmes. Mrs. Harlowe does not see any objections as he is from a good family, has money and Clarissa declares her heart is not engaged. Clarissa objects to his mind, virtues and honesty. Mrs. Harlowe refuses to condone Clarissa's reasons but offers to excuse Clarissa from dinner by saying she is too modest to appear before her betrothed, but Clarissa objects to giving Mr. Solmes hope. Mrs. Harlowe is furious when she realizes that Clarissa still intends to reject Mr. Solmes.
Mrs. Harlowe tells Mr. Harlowe that Clarissa has offered to live single, but Mr. Harlowe refuses the offer saying the family will only be satisfied if Clarissa has Mr. Solmes. They can never be content for Clarissa to remain single while Mr. Lovelace is single as well. Clarissa is rebuked for her disobedience. When Mrs. Harlowe questions her, Clarissa admits that she corresponds with Mr. Lovelace for the safety of the family, fearing revenge for James' ill treatment. She provides her mother with copies of their correspondence and requests advice on how to end the correspondence. Mrs. Harlowe is pleased with Clarissa and promises to attempt to get Mr. Harlowe to agree to let Clarissa live a single life. Clarissa visits her mother the next morning and is sent away because her mother is in tears. Clarissa begs her mother not to be angry with her, and mother agrees if Clarissa will leave so Clarissa agrees.
Mrs. Harlowe initiates a last conference with Clarissa. If Clarissa does not yield, her mother will not be allowed to speak with her anymore and her father will attempt to persuade her, but after his failure, she will be disowned and destitute. The contract with Mr. Solmes has already been negotiated, and Clarissa's wedding clothes have been ordered. Clarissa will not submit to Mrs. Harlowe's pleas not to separate their family thus, so Mrs. Harlowe leaves Clarissa. Clarissa finds Mrs. Harlowe in Arabella's parlor and intrudes, begging for forgiveness. When Mr. Solmes is admitted, Clarissa embarrasses her mother and sister by continuing her objections against the man. Clarissa is forbidden to see family and must go to her room, unless she takes this last opportunity to be civil to Mr. Solmes. She goes to her room.
Letters 11-21 dated March 1st through March 4th Analysis
Clarissa learns more information about Mr. Lovelace in these letters. She also learns to abhor Mr. Solmes more than ever. Secrets are unearthed, such as Arabella's love for Mr. Lovelace and James' greed. The Harlowes' characters are revealed through their stubbornness in insisting on Clarissa's marriage to Mr. Solmes. Clarissa's temper is much sweeter and more obliging than her relations' in general, which this is what they counted on to complete their negotiations; however, Clarissa also has a streak of Harlowe stubbornness in her temperament, which allows her to be steadfast in her refusal to marry Mr. Solmes. Mrs. Harlowe would yield but is forced to participate with the family against Clarissa for the sake of peace with the remainder of her family.
The first conflict is elaborated here, and the tone becomes oppressive as all of Clarissa's desires are ignored and complete obedience the only acceptable reply. Many repetitious arguments are used as Mrs. Harlowe enters and exits Clarissa's room six times during the course of these letters in an attempt to persuade Clarissa to concede. Mr. Solmes' character is further developed by his offer to disinherit his family for Clarissa. Uncle Antony's character is revealed when he accepts the destitute tenant's last two guineas as payment.

Frisky Reader Revealed: BelongSomewhere
Hands down, the best thing about working at The Frisky is our amazing readers. We so heart all of your witty, thoughtful, and informative comments—heck, we even appreciate the mean ones. Sometimes, we can't help but wonder about the faces behind the avatars. So we decided to launch a weekly column where we learn all about a Frisky reader. After the jump, meet belongsomewhere, one of our most prolific commenters. Please state your name, age, and location for The Friskyverse.
Catie, 21, Brooklyn.
How did you find the site?
Someone posted a link to this article on Facebook and I've been hooked ever since!
What do you do all day other than follow The Frisky, which is totally condoned?
I'm a college student studying writing, so when I'm not reading The Frisky I'm in writing workshops and reading memoirs and novels. I also spend far too much time playing Angry Birds and watching bad movies on Netflix.
What is your fave post in recent Frisky history?
Oh, it's hard to pick! I've loved a lot of the Girl Talk articles and I love Jessica's articles about the screwed up things that are happening these days regarding reproductive rights, in particular the post about the woman in Iowa who was jailed for admitting that she'd thought about terminating her pregnancy. If it weren't for The Frisky, I would miss a lot of this troubling but important news.
What are your pop culture guilty pleasures?
"The Secret Life of the American Teenager." It's the worst. Also, Katherine Heigl rom-coms. I justify watching these things by writing long gender studies papers about them. My other pop culture guilty pleasures are teen dramas I was too young for when they were new — "Dawson's Creek," "Felicity," and the original "90210."
Team Edwards or Team Jacob?
I've never read the Twilight serie, and I only saw about half of the first movie, so I don't really know. I think vampires are much cooler than werewolves, though, so I'll go with Edward.
Can you share your most embarrassing dating story? We always share ours. It's only fair.
I've never really dated because I met my boyfriend as a freshman in college and we were sort of an insta-couple. I only went on one date in high school: it was with a really creepy guy I'd become friends with, and I didn't even know that it was a date. We went to a diner in my neighborhood and I only ordered fries. I ate most of them, but right before the waitress came over to ask if we wanted dessert, the guy dumped his entire serving of fries onto my plat so that it looked like I hadn't eaten anything. The waitress was really concerned, I was super embarrassed, and he laughed at me. In retrospect, that incident is mostly just evidence of how much of a jerk he is. I'm pretty sure he got off on humiliating girls.
Do you consider yourself a feminist? Why or why not?
Absolutely! I went to an all-girls' school until I was 18 and we had really excellent sex ed. At some point, I learned that comprehensive sex ed was rare and I was really disturbed. For as long as I can remember, I've been very pro-choice. Issues of reproductive rights were definitely my entrance into feminism. When I got to college, in a fully co-ed environment for the first time, I realize how sexist some guys (and girls!) who claimed to be progressive could be. I'm harassed on the street on a daily basis by men who seem to think I ought to be flattered. There's obviously still a need for feminism if there are still this many people who believe women are inferior.
If The Frisky staff came over for dinner, what would you serve us?
Portobello "burgers" with pesto and mozzarella. The other possibility would be vegetable stir-fry with buckwheat noodles and tofu.
What type of skivvies do you have on right now?
Brightly colored cotton ones from the Gap.
What is your secret talent?
Wax modeling. In high school, I made a wax mask of Charles Bukowski's face and cast it in metal. It's creepy-looking, and pretty accurate!
What's an amazing book or movie that other Frisky readers absolutely must get their hands on right now?
Elizabeth McCracken's memoir An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination is incredibly moving. I also recently read Lorrie Moore's Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? for a class, and I think she handles both the complex relationship between teenaged girls and the issue of abortion really successfully.
Which celeb would you most want to get in bed with? Which celeb would you most want to marry?
Dax Shepard is cute and really funny, so I'll pick him for both. Admittedly, this is probably just because he's engaged to Kristen Bell and I totally want to be Veronica Mars.
What's something you hope to see more of on The Frisky?
I think there's a really good balance of frivolity and more serious relationship and political stuff, so I don't feel like much is missing. But I do miss the outfit posts [Jessica's Note: What Are We Wearing Today? will be back soon when The Frisky is back in an office!] and the articles about which books the Frisky staff is reading.

Atlas Iron Ltd says it has enough port access deals to keep exports going via an agreement with Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, and a plan to use a shared-access berth at Port Hedland in Western Australia.
"Atlas Iron ... has today reconfirmed with Fortescue ... that it has access to FMG's Port Hedland port facility for Atlas' Pardoo direct shipping ore project until 20 June 2010 and until the Utah Point public access berth is commissioned on a reasonable best endeavours basis," Atlas said in a statement on Monday.
Atlas signed a port access agreement with Fortescue in August 2008.
A post on an investor forum last week suggested Atlas' port access deal with Fortescue had ceased, but further discussion was moderated by the website operator as it appeared to be no more than a rumour.
After the announcement, Atlas shares emerged from a trading halt entered into earlier on Monday and by 1513 AEDT, had risen 5.5 cents, or 2.98 per cent, to $1.90.
Fortescue shares were up 19 cents, or 4.74 per cent, at $4.20.

PEARLAND, Texas - A Pearland man is sending out a warning about a possible identity theft scheme.
Driss Benhaddou says he received a phone call from someone claiming to be an employee with the city of Houston.
Benhaddou says that person was trying to collect money for an unpaid parking ticket. The only problem, Benhaddou says he never received a parking ticket from the City of Houston.
"I think they were trying to get my info like birthday, social security number and other info so they could do identity theft," said Benhaddou.
A city spokesperson says they do call to collect money on unpaid parking tickets, but only if the citation is more than 90 days delinquent. That spokesperson went on to say you can call "311" to verify any unpaid debt with the city.

Perhaps colors are in fact making a comeback as the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play was spotted with an orange paint job while the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc was sporting a white one.
Manufacturers have changed things up a bit of late with the color schemes that grace their devices. Basic and feature phones seemed to be the only ones that ever were given a colorful body in the past while smartphones seemed to always get a plain old black exterior. While there is no denying how great some phones look decked out in black, it is always a nice change of pace when it comes to a devices exterior color.
That is exactly what Sony Ericsson has done with their Xperia Play and their Xperia Arc. The Xperia Play is wearing a nice coat of orange while the Xperia Arc is trying on a shade of white. Neither of these colors is actually official and we can't say for sure that they ever will be. It is nice to see
In addition to Sony Ericsson, HTC has tried to freshen things up with colors a little bit (like the Red HTC Inspire 4G) so hopefully more manufacturers can join in on the color party. Check out the photos and tell us what you think in the comments below.

India launches army bribe probe
India's federal detectives have begun an investigation into a complaint lodged by army chief Gen VK Singh that he was offered a bribe of $2.7m (£1.7m) by a defence equipment lobbyist.
Gen Singh had said the bribe was offered if he approved the purchase of 600 "sub-standard" vehicles.
There has been an uproar in the parliament over Gen Singh's remarks.
Defence Minister AK Antony has promised a probe into Gen Singh's complaint, which he made to a newspaper.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has "registered a preliminary enquiry" into the complaint, a spokesman said.
A preliminary investigation is the formal beginning of a probe but during this phase the investigators do not have powers to question, search or arrest.
Last month Mr Antony told parliament that Gen Singh told him a retired lieutenant-general, Tejinder Singh, had met him and offered him a bribe.
Lt Gen Singh has vehemently denied the charges, saying the accusations are "totally false" and that he will take legal action.
Gen Singh told the The Hindu newspaper that the lobbyist offered the bribe in return for approving the purchase of 600 "sub-standard" vehicles of a "particular make".
He said the army already had 7,000 of the vehicles in question and many had been sold at "exorbitant prices with no questions asked".
Though Gen Singh did not say when the alleged incident happened, the CBI spokesman said the "incident reportedly occurred in September 2010".
Gen Singh has already been involved in a row with the government over his retirement age.
He went to the Supreme Court seeking a ruling to establish his date of birth as 10 May 1951 - as his birth certificate and other official documents record.
Last month he dropped his case against the government after the Supreme Court said it had found no error or prejudice in the government's and army's setting of the date a year earlier, on 10 May 1950.
The date of birth determines whether the general retires this year or next.

DUBAI/AMMAN (Reuters) - Egypt called on Thursday for intervention to halt bloodshed in Syria, telling a meeting of 120 nations it was their duty to stand against the "oppressive regime" of Bashar al-Assad, prompting a Syrian walkout.
President Mohamed Mursi, elected two months ago after a popular uprising toppled Egypt's long-standing leader Hosni Mubarak, said Assad had lost legitimacy in his fight to crush a 17-month-old revolt in which 20,000 people have been killed.
Mursi's scathing speech to a summit of non-aligned leaders, hosted by Assad's Shi'ite ally Iran, prompted Syria's foreign minister to accuse the moderate Sunni Islamist leader of inciting further bloodshed in Syria.
The political broadside against the Syrian president came as rebels said they shot down a fighter plane in northern Syria, where his air force has been bombarding opposition-held towns in a fierce counter-offensive against insurgents.
It was the latest strike by Assad's foes on the air power he has increasingly relied on to crush the uprising. Rebels said this week they attacked a northern military air base and shot down a helicopter that was bombarding a district of Damascus.
"The bloodshed in Syria is our responsibility on all our shoulders and we have to know that the bloodshed cannot stop without effective interference from all of us," Mursi said.
"We all have to announce our full solidarity with the struggle of those seeking freedom and justice in Syria, and translate this sympathy into a clear political vision that supports a peaceful transition to a democratic system of rule that reflects the demands of the Syrian people for freedom."
His comments prompted Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem to storm out of the meeting, complaining that Mursi was inciting fighters to "continue shedding Syrian blood", Syrian state television said.
Assad, in his first television interview since rebels took their fight into the heart of Damascus and the country's biggest city, Aleppo, said on Wednesday his fight to put down the uprising was going well but needed more time.
"Everyone wants this battle to be completed in days or weeks but this isn't reasonable, because we are in the middle of a regional and international struggle and it needs time to be resolved," he said.
Mainly peaceful protests were met with force by Assad's military, and the uprising has degenerated into a civil war with sectarian overtones and regional dimensions. The mainly Sunni Muslim rebels are backed by regional Sunni powers, particularly Gulf Arab states and Turkey.
Assad, whose Alawite community is an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, has support from Iran, a rival of Gulf Arab states and Western powers. Lebanon's Shi'ite militia Hezbollah has also shown solidarity with the Syrian president.
The role of regional powers has assumed greater significance because of deadlock at U.N. Security Council, where diplomatic stalemate has marginalized the major powers.
U.S., Russian and Chinese ministers are not expected to attend Thursday's U.N. Security Council meeting on Syria, underlining the fact that both Assad's critics and backers on the council see little prospect of it taking any action.
"We wanted a resolution on humanitarian issues, but we faced a double refusal," said a French diplomat, whose country will chair the meeting in New York.
"The United States and Britain believe we have reached the end of what can be achieved at the Security Council, and Moscow and Beijing said that such a resolution would have been biased."
Nearly a year and a half after the uprising erupted, Assad's political foes are equally divided.
A member of the Syrian National Council, which once hoped to win international endorsement as the country's leadership-in-waiting, resigned this week complaining it was not doing enough to back the revolt and must be replaced by a new political authority.
"My sense was that the SNC was not up to facing the increasing challenges on the ground," Basma Kodmani, the latest council member to break from the SNC, told Reuters.
The Syrian Martyrs Brigade said on Thursday it brought down a plane near the town of al-Thayabiya. Video footage on Al Arabiya television showed what appeared to be smoke in the sky and a person parachuting down. An army helicopter hovered over the area, apparently in search of the pilot.
"The brigade has started targeting the regime's air assets, including military airports," a member of the group said from Idlib, declining to give further details.
As well as targeting rebels, Assad's jets and artillery have also struck at least 10 bakeries in Aleppo province in the last three weeks, killing dozens of people as they waited in line to buy bread, the U.S.-based Human Rights Watch said.
It said the attacks were either deliberate or done without care to avoid the hundreds of civilians forced to queue outside a dwindling number of bakeries in Syria's biggest city, a front line in the civil war.
One attack two weeks ago killed around 60 people and wounded more than 70, it said.
The fighting around Aleppo, Damascus and the southern province of Deraa, where protests against Assad first erupted in March 2011, has prompted waves of refugees to flood into neighboring Turkey and Jordan.
Turkey urged the United Nations to protect displaced Syrians inside their own country, to take the pressure off its crowded refugee camps, and France said it was studying the issue of buffer zones in Syria, an idea Assad dismissed as unrealistic.

Nathan from 'Heroes' busted for DUI
Adrian Pasdar, better known as Nathan Petrelli from Heroes, was picked up for DUI this morning, according to TMZ:
Pasdar was arrested at 2:59 AM after cops clocked him going more than 90 mph on the 405 Freeway in L.A. We're told cops also noticed Pasdar was "failing to maintain his lane."
Law enforcement sources tell us when cops approached Pasdar's ride, they detected the odor of alcohol — and decided to give him a field sobriety test. Pasdar was eventually placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI.
Living up to the name of his show, Adrian refused to take a breathalyzer and is sitting in jail until his wife Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks picks his ass up. And to be fair, she owes him one after basically getting them banned from the entire south and flyover states a few years back. I mean, this is practically the exact same thing when you think about it. After a night of drinking.
"Hey, commie, you finally showed up. About time – OW! Those bullets are hurting me."

This is the talk page for the "Ichigo's Relationships" article.
Guidelines For Editing This Article
Due to the significant potential for this article to be vandalised with the fantasies of certain people, here are some basic guidelines for editing the Ichigo's Relationships page. ~~Ууp <talk> 22:07, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
- There is no hint whatsoever of Ichigo having any romantic interest in any character, so do not add anything suggesting otherwise to the article.
- No speculation.
- No movie characters as this is not an Appearances In Other Media section - this is essentially the Relationships section that is on many characters' individual pages which has been split off into its own page in Ichigo's case.
- Consider your wording carefully to avoid potentially misleading content. Also, keep to the point.
- The focus should be on Ichigo's point of view of the other character, not vice versa. This does not mean that it cannot be mentioned, just that it should be a side note to how Ichigo sees them.
- Do not add a character unless they have had significant interactions with Ichigo or with whom he has a long history (school friends/family).
- When adding a character, please put them in the appropriate section and in alphabetical order.
- If in doubt about something you wish to add, use this talk page to ask about it before adding it.
Gin Ichimaru
I know that Gin was deleted earlier on, but now that Ichigo actually had a full-fledged fight and discussion with Gin, could we re-add him?Orochidayu 12:39, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
- I guess so, so long as it is properly referenced and follows the guidelines above. ~~Ууp <talk> 12:38, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
Why is Senna not in this article? She and Ichigo clearly had a deep, meaningful relationship. Could I add this? —This unsigned comment is by Bleachshinigami (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
First, please sign your posts, this can be done by adding four tildes to the end of your post. Second, this page is purely for canon information. Senna is not canon, being that she is from a movie. This has been discussed to death before and will not change. --GodPray 01:17,3/21/2011
When it comes to character pages (and this is essentially a part of Ichigo's page that was split off and so follows the same rules, as this section is on many other character pages), movie information belongs in the Appearances in Other Media section only. Which is on Ichigo's main page. ~~Ууp <talk> 23:34, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
Kuugo Ginjou
He seems like Ichigo's primary rival in the story at the moment. He has been a ally(even if he faked it)/enemy to him at this point since at one point he became the only person Ichigo could trust that when Ginjou revealed his true colors and stole his power that Ichigo broke down. Is Ginjou worth a mention on Ichigo's relationship page? --GL089 (talk) 00:34, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

The best way of sharpening a knife is with a whetstone. There are other knife sharpening devices available, but most of them tend to grind away too much of your knife's blade. Learning the right way to use a whetstone may take a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it you'll be able to keep knives razor sharp and save time and money.
Get yourself a two-sided whetstone, with a coarse grit on one side and a fine grit on the other.
Different knives require the edge of the knife to be applied to the stone at a different angle, depending on the manufacturing specs. But in general, it's somewhere around 22 degrees. To visualize this, picture 90 degrees, which is straight up and down. Then imagine half of that, which is 45 degrees. And then another half of that is 22½ degrees. Don't worry about the half degree. But do consult your knife's manufacturer to verify the correct angle.
Also, check out this video on how to sharpen a knife with a whetstone.
Here's How:
- Place the whetstone on a cutting board or countertop, with the coarse grit face up. A wet paper towel underneath the stone can help keep it from sliding.
- With one hand, grasp the knife by the handle and hold the edge against the stone, point-first, with the cutting edge meeting the stone at around a 22-degree angle. You can stabilize the blade with your other hand.
- With moderate pressure, slide the blade forward and across the whetstone, covering the entire length of the blade and keeping the blade flush against the stone at a constant 22-degree angle.
- Do this 10 times, then flip the knife over and give the other side of the blade 10 strokes on the whetstone.
- Now flip the whetstone over to the fine grit side and give each side of the blade 10 strokes.
- Finish by using a sharpening steel to hone the blade, then rinse and wipe the blade dry to remove any metal particles.
- Always sharpen in the same direction, whether it's front-to-back or back-to-front.
- Despite what its name might suggest, keep your whetstone dry. Using oil or water on a whetstone traps tiny metal particles in the liquid, which in turn produce a more ragged edge than when using a dry stone.
- Don't believe the hype about knives that supposedly "never need sharpening." Cutting produces friction, and friction causes a knife's edge to lose its sharpness. There's no avoiding the laws of physics.

The keyboardist and singer/songwriter officially returns to the rock band to hit the road and possibly make an album.
Fleetwood Mac is now complete again. Christine McVie, who left the rock band 16 years ago, together with her ex-husband John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks appeared on "Today" on Thursday, March 27 to officially announce her return.
"We're thrilled," Fleetwood told People in a statement. "She's just the dearest of friends and we've remained that way always. We've always missed Chris. To have a key, key member return to the fold is huge. It's really not happened, to my knowledge in any shape or form, on this level."
McVie added, "I honestly could never in my wildest dreams have thought I could return to the band. It's just a dream come true. I go to bed going, 'This is so great. This is what I've been yearning for all these years and I didn't know it.' We're family. We're very lucky."
To Rolling Stone, the 70-year-old singer revealed the reason she left in the first place. "I had some deluded idea that I wanted to live the 'country lady' life," she said. "But I went through a divorce and I felt isolated in the country. I grew quite ill and depressed." And she told Buckingham "who wanted to make sure she grasped the weight of would it would entail. She also had to understand that if she was coming back that, basically, she has to stay. She wants to do it."
They newly reformed band would embark on a North American tour this fall and might release a new album "down the road," McVie said. The 34-date/33-city trek, dubbed "On With The Show Tour", will be kicked off September 30 in Minneapolis. Tickets will go on sale at the end of this month.

edit Rewrite?
I was thinking that maybe this article needs a rewrite, but I don't want to offend anybody so I thought I would ask what 'the people' thought of it.
The main gist of the raticle seems to be based on saing the opposite of reality. I think the article would be funnier if it were written from the perspective of somebody like Ann Coulter. Calling him a communist, and maybe docter a photo of him aborting a foetus... What do you guys think? --TheLibrarian 13:55, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Go for it. Saying the exact opposite of reality is one of the things Uncyclopedians cannot do. --Rcmurphy 15:14, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I took a stab at it, if anybody has any great ides, feel free. I'm aslo putting up a request for th picture I was talking about.--TheLibrarian 20:50, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Whoever came up with "born Jonathan Aronwitz Davidowitz Stuart Monitz Leibowitz Jewington Schmolritz" is my hero. I laughed for a good five minutes. Thank you.

Yesterday was my last hard workout before Nationals. It's the end of an era, just waiting to be topped off with a stellar race. As I was running errands this morning I was thinking about the top 10 things that are getting a little "old" about this part of the season. So, here goes. 10. Cleaning all the rocks and sand out of my bathtub that my wetsuit leaves behind after a pond workout...every other day.
9. Training without music.
8. Going through at least two sets of workout clothes plus warm ups every day.
7. "Building to race pace" in either the bike swim or run, or all of them, in every single workout.
6. The ache that my wrists developed from being in the aero bars, in stealth position, day after day after day.
5. My running flats smelling rank from being run in with wet feet, over and over and over again.
4. Having to write the workout on my hand because it's so complex I can't remember it.
3. Waking up at 2:30am to eat because I'm starving.
2. Running a "mobil training center" out of the back of my car with fluids, goos, body glide, several workout outfits in varying states of dryness, no less than 4 pairs of shoes, caps, goggles, bike tools, and still I manage to forget things.
1. And the #1 thing I will NOT miss about this part of the season: passing my husband as he walks in from studying and I walk out to train.

This season was over a long time ago. Then it wasn't. Then it was again, yet somehow wasn't, until it was again.
Every time a last minute goal makes us think we've blown it all over again, everyone else fails to win and a quick glance at the table makes the dream of the play-offs mathematically possible again.
Personally I'm a bit bored of the hope, so now that we've lost to QPR can we officially give up yet? Please!
Over the Easter weekend, Watford had one good result, one disappointing result but two very decent performances.
We were arguably much better than two sides who could yet meet at Wembley for a place in the Premier League.
I would struggle to think of any of the Ipswich eleven who could get in the Watford side, only a handful of QPR's players could fight for places.
Yet they both still have the potential to go up and we don't (really this time, we do not). So with it all over all over again, why don't I feel devastated? I think there's two reasons...
1) Beppe Sannino
It's taken a while for us all to get over a man like Gianfranco Zola, but it finally feels like we're all moving on and Beppe really is beginning to seem like our guy.
You can see his philosophy seeping into games. You can enjoy his touchline antics and the speed he is learning English deserves great respect - as does the way he conducts himself before and after games.
Also, has any Watford manager ever waved back at the Rookery with such delight?
During the Ipswich game he waved at the Watford fans with the enthusiasm of a toddler waving at a choo-choo train.
It was an absolute joy to see and I'm very much looking forward to how this man is going to shape a side next year, when he has a proper pre-season to make his mark.
Arguably we could be better off long term, having him do that in the Championship rather than in the unchartered waters of the Premier League.
2) The new midfield.
Almen Abdi, Daniel Tozser, Lewis McGugan, Albert Riera.
Ok, only two of those players are actually Hornets and anything could happen in the summer, but it is hard to remember a midfield as exciting as this.
Add either Daniel Pudil, Ikechi Anya or Davide Faraoni into the mix and it just feels like such a grown up and dangerous midfield.
No wonder both the Ipswich and QPR fans and coaching teams were quick to praise us.
I am confident we could have a great year next year with such a midfield... just as long as we still have quality strikers ahead of them and experienced defenders behind.
Of course, we might not be able to field such a brilliant midfield next year but if we can regularly name a side fairly similar to the one we saw over Easter, I really do think we might do alright in 2014/15.
I certainly would feel more optimistic looking forward being a Watford fan, than a QPR fan right now…

The 9/11 memorial sculpture in Heisler Park has been vandalized.
Artist Jorg Dubin discovered the damage to "Semper Memento" on March 9 when he went to polish the sphere that sits in the middle of the sculpture, according to police.
Dubin reported three small dents in the sphere and some surface scratches.
"The dents appear to have been made with a pointed metal object with some force as the metal surface is also gouged at the point of impact," Dubin said in his report.
Two of the dents appear near the top on the plaque side of the sphere; the other is about halfway down on the left, according to the report.
"All this damage was not there the last time I cleaned the sphere about two weeks ago," Dubin said in the report. "This had to be intentional as the surface of the sphere is very hard and would require some force to damage it."
Nothing unusual was seen or heard near the memorial prior to the incident, Lt. Jason Kravetz said.
The damage is estimated at $4,000.
Cultural Arts Manager Sian Poeschl said the dents are minor.
"It looks a bit scruffy — it's not immaculate," she said.
Poeschl added that Dubin suggested holding off on repairs and waiting to see if anything else happened to the sculpture.
"At a future date, we will look at doing a repair. The Arts Commission has in its budget funds for restoration," she said.
"When it comes to repairs, we would always go to the artist first."
Dubin said he believes this was a random act.
"It is hard to imagine anyone taking out any ire toward me on this piece, which means so much to the community," he said in an email to the Coastline Pilot. "It is not only a big disappointment to myself but to Laguna Beach as a whole. People in town are very concerned about this happening, but I don't think it had anything to do with me personally."
