Reviewing Sex
Reviewing Sex: Gender and the Reception of Victorian Novels looks at the influence of Victorian definitions of gender on the cultural processes of reading and canon formation in nineteenth-century England, examining the reception of several mid-century works in over 100 Victorian book reviews. This study investigates four canonical and popular novelists (Emily Bronte, Anthony Trollope, Charles Reade, Charlotte Yonge), all of whom caused high cultural commotions by epitomizing or subverting contemporary definitions of 'masculine' or 'feminine' writing.

Tomorrow is Spring!!!!!
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Spring begins tomorrow and it seems we have been waiting a long time. It will be a while before we see any sign of grass in our neck of the woods but at least the days are improving.
I have started right in to showing you today's project which is absolutely stunning. This is a wool wallhanging done by Ann. We have taken many closeup pictures so you can admire all the beautiful embroidery stitches throughout. The wallhanging is 41" x 41" and made with many colors of hand dyed wool. The wool lends itself well to machine quilting and we have done echo quilting around each flower in the blocks. The borders are done with a scalloped channel with a different size pattern placed on each side of the channel. Ann has added many beads to the piece after the quilting has been done. You can see some of these in the pictures at the end of today's blog. Ann tells me she has been working on this project for a couple of years and you can tell because the work is very high caliber with hundreds of different patterns. You will find ribbon embroidery, beading, sequins, trims and buttons to mention a few items on this beautiful piece. Enjoy studying all the lovely handwork in this and see how wonder wool can work in quilting also. Welcome Spring! Gwenda

Today, I will show you two Irish Chain quilts, so fitting for St Paddys Day. The first done by Jackie is 53" x 65" and is quilted with the pattern called "The Garden". This is a very simple all over pattern and looks great on this single Irish Chain. Lovely job Jackie!

On board Air Force One en route to Paris last night, President Trump held an off the record gaggle with reporters, but he changed his mind this morning allowed his remarks — on everything from Russia to the border wall to China — to be released on the record.
The big thing: Trump told reporters that he'd be willing to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the White House at some point in the future:
"I don't think this is the right time, but the answer is yes I would. Look, it's very easy for me to say absolutely, I won't. That's the easy thing for me to do, but that's the stupid thing to do…If you don't have dialogue, you have to be fools. Fools. It would be the easiest thing for me to say... I will never speak to him, and everybody would love me. But I have to do what's right."

March Film Preview: Hollywood Springs Forward
Don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but it appears that we're coming out of deep freeze and that mantle of ice hanging off of the roof may finally melt … instead of slipping off and decapitating an innocent passer-by. Hollywood's warming up as well and starting to release some of their more compelling films. This is actually a good time for movie goers since the onslaught on overpaid young actors wearing spandex and fighting CGI monsters won't start turning up like kudzu in the cinematic garden for a few weeks yet.
What follows is a partial list of what's in store this month, along with some of the flicks unspooling at the city's art-and-revival houses.
The movies are previewed in order of their national opening dates …
March 6
Chappie – Dev Patel, who you may remember from Slumdog Millionaire, has two movies opening this month; Chappie is the first and it's set in the future where robots act as our police force. Whaddya know but someone goes and reprograms a robot to think for itself! (Interestingly, the press materials refer to the robot in question, Chappie, a hunk of animated metal, as "him" … leaving me to wonder if my immersion blender is a boy or a girl and whether I've offended him/her by never noticing his/her gender specific way of making mayonnaise.) It's directed by Neil Blomkamp, director of the magnificent District 9, so there is hope. Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver also show up for some sci-fi hijinks.
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel – And here comes Dev Patel's second March movie; a sequel to the enormously popular The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. There's probably a plot but nobody, I assure you, is going for that. We just wanna watch two Dames, Maggie Smith and Judi Dench, along with Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton and Celia Imrie battle for screen time with franchise newbies Richard Gere, David Strathairn and Tamsin Greg. It's about grown ups with probably not a gun or special effect in sight (if you exclude the facelifts) … what more could you possible want?
Unfinished Business – Vince Vaughn, Dave Franco and Tom Wilkinson star as three co-workers traveling to Europe to close a business deal and save their struggling company. Along the way they get caught up with old girlfriends, drugs & alcohol and a sex fetish convention. It's being categorized as Hangover meets Hot Tub Time Machine – which may or may not have just made up your mind for you, one way or another.
March 13
Cinderella – Perhaps to make up for all the youth they traumatized with Into the Woods, Disney Studios presents a live action version of their classic 1950 animated feature. They've called in the big guns – Kenneth Branagh directs from a screenplay by Chris Weitz, featuring Cate Blanchett as the stepmother, Helena Bonham Carter as the fairy godmother and Lily James in the title role. Be warned, this is not a musical … so if you're going in hopes of singing along to "Bibbidi-Boddibi-Boo" you'll only be disappointed.
Deli Man – A documentary by Erik Greenberg Anjou focusing on the history of delicatessens in America. Through a look at traditional Jewish food and the manner in which is has been served, Deli Man traces the immigration and diaspora of Jews in the United States. As delis, and deli chains, have spread across the country, the old-fashioned Mom and Pop storefronts in urban neighborhoods are disappearing; the film looks at the pluses and minuses of that inexorable evolution.
Run All Night – Poor Liam Neeson. In Taken they kidnapped his daughter, which set him out into the world with a bad attitude and lots of firearms. In Taken 3 and A Walk Among the Tombstones they killed his wife; cue bad attitude and big armor. And now, in Run All Night, Ed Harris is trying to kill his son. The guy just can't seem to catch a break – he must wonder sometimes if life wouldn't have been easier if he'd been born an orphan. Vincent D'Onofrio and Common are also on hand to add to the mayhem.
March 20
Insurgent – Did you leave 2014's Divergent wondering what happened to plucky heroine Tris, a genetically unique young woman in a future world where people are assigned a life role according to their DNA? You may remember that she, along with a band of other "divergents" were fighting an evil cabal, headed by an excessively lacquered Kate Winslet, in hopes of bringing about a more just society. Well Tris is back and quicker than you can say Katniss Everdeen, she's avenging wrongs, firing guns and falling in love with a photogenic costar. Just don't think it all gets wrapped in this sequel – please, there's two more films in the Divergent franchise coming down the pike.
The Gunman – Sean Penn, from whom we haven't heard in quite a while, plays an international operative looking to turn in his gun and settle down with a new love. But the folks he works for are having none of it! They threaten the girlfriend and frame him with an international crime and now he needs to travel the globe to clear his name. It's based on Jean-Patrick Manchette's novel The Prone Gunman and features Idris Elba, Javier Bardem and Ray Winstone. I wonder if Liam Neeson knows someone's made a Liam Neeson movie without Liam Neeson?
Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem – A courtroom drama currently sweeping the festival circuit about an Israeli woman trying to get a divorce from her husband. Because religious laws govern divorce in Israel, Viviane is, in effect, put on trial because, per Orthodox tradition, the husband must grant his wife a divorce … and Viviane's husband is a nasty piece of work. The film was Israel's entry to this year's Best Foreign Language Film Oscar competition.
March 27
Get Hard – Gee, there hasn't been a Will Ferrell manchild comedy released in, what has it been?, the last three weeks. Director Etan Cohen and writers Jay Martel, Ian Roberts and Adam McKay rush in to fill the void with this little comedy confection about an evil millionaire who gets convicted of fraud and is given prison time. Before he reports to the Big House to begin his sentence he hires Kevin Hart, whom he believes to be a seasoned ex-con, to make him prison-ready … and oh the merry mix-ups which ensue.
Serena – Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence team up for a third time (after Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle) to star in this adaptation of Ron Rash's book. Originally planned as an Angelina Jolie vehicle directed by Darren Aronofsky, Susanne Bier helms this iteration set in North Carolina during the Depression. Cooper owns a lumber company and Lawrence is his new wife wanting to help turn the outfit into an empire. Things seem to be going well until Lawrence is revealed to be not quite the dame she's been posing as.
The Riot Club – There exists at Oxford University in England a private all-male society called "The Bullingdon Club." Founded more than 300 years ago, the club is famous for two things; the hedonistic, vandalism-prone activities of it's aristocratic, moneyed members and that most of England's ruling elite have been part of it. Current Prime Minister David Cameron, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne and London mayor Boris Johnson were all members at the same time of the Bullingdon. The Riot Club, based on the play Posh, is a fictional recreation of that world and what some young men will do when they know they'll never be faced with consequences. Featuring a Who's Who of upcoming British talent including Sam Claflin, Douglas Booth, Max (son of Jeremy) Irons and Freddie (son of Edward) Fox.
It Happened One Night (March 8 at 8 p.m., Regent Square Theater) – One of the earliest screwball comedies made, and the first film to win all five Oscars in the major categories: Best picture, director, actor, actress and screenplay. Frank Capra directs Claudette Colbert as a spoiled rich girl who, while on the lam from her imperious pappa, runs into ne'er-do-well newspaper reporter Clark Gable. This hugely popular film was a favorite of Friz Freleng, the man who co-created Bugs Bunny (and, according to legend, based some of those early Bugs cartoons on this film.) Other fans of the flick reportedly include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler – probably not something you'd want to put in a press release, but certainly a testament to this film's world-wide appeal.
Human Capital (Opens March 27, Regent Square Theater) – Paolo Virzi directs an Italian adaptation of a novel by American Stephen Amidon about two families who are drawn together one Christmas Eve night when a cyclist is the victim of a hit and run accident. Set against the backdrop of the global economic meltdown, Human Capital is part family drama, part thriller noir and part dark comedy. A winner at the Tribeca Film Festival and Italy's entry for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
Mommy (March 20 – 26, Harris Theater) – Canada's entry for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar and winner of the Cannes Jury Prize. A dark, tense drama about a single mother who removes her troubled, violent son from a juvenile detention facility and is faced with having to raise him on her own. The plot thickens when a mysterious, new neighbor steps in to help.
To Catch a Thief (March 29, 10:30 a.m. w/breakfast, advance reservations required; March 31, 7 p.m.) – There's probably not a more beautiful sight in cinema than Grace Kelly decked out in jewels and making out with Cary Grant – which could qualify To Catch a Thief as one of the most beautiful movies ever made. Not one of director Alfred Hitchcock's greatest, certainly, but it's still an entertaining yarn about a retired thief living in the South of France (and the beautiful scenic backdrops that provides) being called in by the police to help catch a decidedly unretired cat burglar.
Lord of the Rings (March 20-26) – Here's your chance to return to Middle Earth with the first three films in Peter Jackson's Tolkien saga as Row House screens The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. You can view a different one each day or, on certain days, sit through all three in order of release date. As a special bonus, Row House has installed a "Lord of the Rings" pinball machine and there will be tournaments! One ball, to rule them all. (If you say it in Elvish, it's sounds really awesome!)
Sid and Nancy (March 6-12) – If you want to visit the glamour days of rock and roll, you'll need to stay as far away as possible from this Alex Cox directed biopic about the last days of Sid (Sex Pistols) Vicious and Nancy Spungen. All about heroin addicts caught in a mutually destructive relationship, Sid and Nancy is a brutal film which is hard to watch and, ultimately, deeply moving and compelling. Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb give outstanding, fearless performances in the title roles.
This is Spinal Tap (March 6-12) – The classic rock mockumentary from Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer about a fictional British heavy metal band touring the United States in which just about anything that can go wrong does. Along for the ride are Ed Begley, Jr., Fran Drescher, Dana Carvey, Billy Crystal, Howard Hessman, Paul Shaffer, Angelica Huston, Fred Willard and many, many more. You may think 10 is the loudest you can get … but you ain't heard nothin' yet!
Young Frankenstein (March 13-19) – The 1974 comedy homage to the James Whale/University Pictures monster franchise from the 1930's, written by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder. Brooks directs Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein ("Fronkensteen!") who is lured back to the castle where he grandfather created the first monster. The supporting players are a veritable 1970's Comedy Actor Hall of Fame: Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Kenneth Mars and Peter Boyle. (Even Gene Hackman shows up in an uncredited turn as a blind villager.)
Ted Hoover is a Pittsburgh based writer and critic.

There are only two tanks available in the Juwel corner fish tank range. The Trigon 190 which has a capacity of 190 litres and the 350 litre capacity Trigon 350. Costing approximately £600 and £1000 respectively they are clearly not an economy tank but they are worthy of the hefty price tag.
Finely crafted in Germany the Trigon range is space saving whilst giving the illusion of depth. They are available in black, white and beech wood and all have coordinating cabinets available. Ideal for storing all your fish keeping paraphernalia. Both tank and cabinet are built with a safety base frame ensuring stability. There is no need for special or additional support.
The Trigon 190 measures 98.5cm (L) x 70cm (D) x 60cm (H) and weighs 41.5kg empty. The Trigon 350 is 123cm (L) x 87cm (D) x 65cm (H) and weighs 69kg also empty. Fish capacity for the Trigon range is:
- Trigon 190 – 63 tropical or 31 cold water. Based on 3cm as an adult.
- Trigon 350 – 116 tropical or 58 cold water. Based on 3cm as an adult.
- Trigon 190 and 350 – 3 inch of marine fish per square foot of tank.
Both tanks are supplied with the state of the art High Lite T5 tank lighting which provides brilliant luminosity and excellent plant growth. Filtration and heating is provided with the Bioflow 3.0 tank filter system and heater. Remember for tropical fish the heater should be somewhere between 20 – 30 degrees centigrade dependent on the species of fish.
The Juwel Corner fish tank range really are the best of the best and will look great in the corner of any room or office. They come with everything you need to get your aquarium up in no time. Owning a Trigon tank is not for beginners as its such a large tank, looking after a few hundred fish is no small feat and you will need to understand how to monitor and look after their health and handle any unexpected problems.
Corner tank not for you? Take a look at the Aqua One Aquariums.

Reading enthusiasm is a challenge faced by most kids during summer as school is out and they would rather indulge in fun and relaxation. However, many scientific articles attest that children who continue learning and reading during the summer absorb and retain information faster and do better in class.
Continuing our nature theme, the teacher's at Futurekids Sumer Camp, untapped the children's imagination by first collecting natural treasures and then using that to help tell a story. For example; one child found an interesting shaped stick and brought it to life in his nature journal. A team of children illustrated, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" in a storyboard using sticks and other loose nature materials.
The stick is a universal toy. They are easy to find, natural and best of all, totally free. It offers limitless opportunities for an active imagination! At Futurekids, gnarled sticks turned into magical sprites, scary trolls, and even fierce monsters. Curved branches became a woody crown for a forest king. Tree trunks and roots became miniature houses for fairies and elf houses. Our children even played games with it such as "pick-up sticks."
Besides reading and exploring their creative side the August days at Futurekids Summer Camp was full of fun activities such as nature parkour, outdoor challenges trick photography, science experiments, cooking and much much more!

Founder of art theory journal Shifter, Parsons School of Design assistant professor, and multimedia artist Sreshta Rit Premnath presents his first solo exhibition, Falling, at Mid-Wilshire's Ace Gallery. As if he didn't have enough on his place. The collection is devided into two equally intriguing projects, Cadere/Rose and Plot, in an examination of the intricacies of identity and space.
Upon entering the gallery, the tenuously placed Cadere/Rose ruler pieces immediately catch the eye. These red-hued works, named in an homage to the Italian word for "falling" and Polish artist André Cadere, call attention to the performative action of placement. They imply the artist's hand and allow the viewer to ponder Premnath's identity and intent.
The meaning of the rulers themselves are called into question: Are they functional or purely art objects? Does the fact that they are located in a gallery setting change what they are? This notion of fluctuating identity based on location harkens back to the birth of Marcel Duchamp's iconic "Readymades." Along these same lines, as Premnath was greatly inspired by Cadere, we have to think about who the real creator of these pieces might be.
This shifting sense of identity combined with the exhibition's rose theme reveals a powerful social message. As an Indian immigrant, the artist identifies with Bangladeshi flower merchants who famously sell roses in Rome's many public squares. These migrants seem to be invisible in their new surroundings. Premnath posits, "If I were holding a bouquet of roses, I too would disappear." In Plot, the second part of the exhibition, Premnath expertly deals with the difficult question of space and how we occupy it, as well as the blinding human need for possession.
Through Cadere/Rose and Plot, Falling gets to the very heart of what it means to be human, investigating what we believe and why we belong.

It's not quite as overreaching as the do-it-all Coolest Cooler. The Alpine ICE (short for In-Cooler Entertainment), however, reinforces an erstwhile cooler with a badass two-channel speaker, combining two of the most common things you're likely to bring during tailgates and campouts.
That's right, this thing puts a Bluetooth speaker in the body of a 56-quart cooler, so it can blast out your favorite tunes at high volume while keeping all your beverages chilled. It packs powerful speakers, too, making for a legit way to enjoy your music even in noisy and crowded outdoor locations.
The Alpine ICE has a custom designed speaker system that house two 5.25-inch high-dynamic range woofers, 1-inch high-output tweeters, and 4 x 8-inch bass radiators to deliver a satisfying boom, with two 90-watt amplifiers allowing it to sustain high output levels while maintaining a warm and immersive sound. Since the cooler's body houses the audio hardware, it comes with a strategically-designed shell that distributes air through unused areas to serve as a suitable speaker cabinet. Of course, the speakers are fully water-resistant, so you can drip ice, water, and crappy beer all over this thing without any worries.
As an ice box, it comes with a compartment that can accommodate 72 12oz. cans, rubber-sleeved nylon rope handles, a Bear Claw latch closure, and a two-inch plug-and-drain channel. Other features include an illuminated control panel for the speakers, a 3.5mm port for hooking up a phone, and dual cables so you can charge it from either a wall outlet or a car battery.
Available now, the Alpine ICE is priced at $1,500.

Raised in the thumb of Michigan, my faith was nurtured at Grace Lutheran Church, Fairgrove. Baptized, confirmed, and married there, I was very involved in several different activities and events. While in high school, I taught Sunday School and congregation members said I would make a good Lutheran School teacher.
But I had other plans. First of all, I did NOT want to be a teacher like my mother. I knew the hours she put in correcting papers, putting up bulletin boards, and continuing her own education. I wanted to be the NBC News anchorwoman for the Today Show. However, once I got involved in the broadcasting and journalism departments at CMU, I realized that's not what I wanted for my future either.
I tried my hand at waitressing, retail sales, and banking, but still was not fulfilled. When we registered our daughter for 3-year-old Preschool, Zion (Bay City) was in need of a Teacher's Aide. I applied for the position and began my new career in August of 1996. By October, I knew I needed to go back to college and get my teaching degree.
Blessed with family and friends who took care of my children, and a wonderful husband who picked up the slack at home while I was attending classes and doing homework, I graduated from SVSU in 2003 with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I double minored in English and Social Studies. I continued working at Zion Lutheran as their Music Administrator, but since music was not part of my degree, the state of Michigan did not recognize my time there towards my permanent certificate.
We transferred to Trinity for the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year where I teach the 3
and 4
Graders. I like to have a lot of hands-on centers for my students to explore in order to further their grasp of classroom concepts. Over the summer, I'll be doing some creative thinking as I need to change the layout of my room to possibly fit in 22 student desks. What an exciting time we'll have! I also plan on furthering my own education and work towards a Master's Degree in the coming year

Angola – A Story of Change 'Rice'
One of Stories of Change in the framework of CDAIS project where Agrinatura is a partner along with FAO.
Rice is produced in other parts of Angola, but not in the area around Bailundo, though conditions are favourable and there is much local demand. Building on the provision of technical expertise from other organisations, CDAIS is adding capacity development of another sort, of the 'soft skills' required to collaborate, learn, engage and adapt. "Now we will grow rice forever" says Marcos Satuala. "This innovation has given us a great thing – a new crop for us. And with CDAIS we can learn more, and grow more, for our families and to sell." (cdais website)
Rice Schools with Farmers
With 183 members from 4 village areas, the Associação Alimuat was formed in 2010 by farmers who saw the advantages of working together and the advantages that this could bring to everyone. Then in 2015 they took an initiative. As with so many farmers in the area they mainly grow maize and beans, but they also eat rice at home, though they had never grown rice before. Having no idea how to grow it, they made contact with the local agricultural extension agency, the Estação de Desenvolvimento Agrário (EDA) local unit of Instituto de Desenvolvimento Agrário(IDA). They in turn made contact with the national Instituto de Investigação Aronómica (IIA), and an idea was born. The final piece of the puzzle was to link up with the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), who agreed to offer material and technical assistance for a two-year period. And one of the innovations that was created was the 'rice school'.
In 2016, this rice partnership was selected to be one of the CDAIS innovation partnerships. Farmers were receiving seeds and other inputs and technical training, but still lacked adequate functional capacities to make the most of this support. So CDAIS could help to fill that gap. The work goes on, with farmers now preparing for their second harvest, and they are learning all the time. IIA and IDA have established several sites for the innovative 'rice schools', where association members come and work each Monday, to learn basic skills, and where they are also testing new varieties and cultivation techniques. But some farmers are also trying different methods on their own land, for example by looking at the effects on time and cost when transplanting seedlings rather than direct sowing. One farmer, Julino Paulo, explains, "I use fewer seed when transplanting but it takes more time. Now I wait to see which will produce more."
In one of the meetings, farmers say again that they still need a rice dehusker. So the question is asked, again, "how will you get one? You think, you decide." And now they think… and one can hear the whispers – 'we can't just ask for one' – and they discuss between themselves, and one replies. "If we become a formalised group we can ask for a loan, and buy one that everyone can use…" And that process is CDAIS, in practice.
"But we still need to convince the government that to support us in our efforts is good for the national economy, as it will reduce rice imports" says Zacarias Cassinda. And this is a point that will surely be taken up to the national level for the policy dialogue that CDAIS is in the process of organising.
And although the association has a charter and has elected members into positions of chair, secretary, treasurer, etc., they are still not formalised. CDAIS will now help them go through the legal process of registering their association, and which will empower them when they choose to approach banks for loans, or others for additional support

What kind of firewood do I need for my tiny wood stove?
The best fuel for your stove is thoroughly dried hardwood with a moisture content of less than 20%. A wood moisture meter can be purchased for less than $10, and is a great investment if you're going to be buying firewood or curing your own. Avoid burning wet wood in your stove. For wet wood to burn, the water must be driven off first, which consumes heat. Wet wood lowers the BTU output of the stove and cools combustion gases which can cause poor draft and creosote formation.
To cure firewood, split it and stack it loosely in a sunny location, perpendicular to the prevailing wind. Cover the top of the stack only to keep precipitation off of it. The sides need to be exposed to allow airflow.
Different types of wood require different curing times, but in general, firewood needs to cure for a minimum of six months before it's used. Ideally, most firewood should be seasoned for 18 to 24 months. Most firewood purchased in bulk has not been seasoned sufficiently for immediate use, so you'll need to purchase it at least a year in advance.
Even if the wood dealer says that the wood has been drying for a year, you should examine it before using it. Wood does not dry quickly until it is split and stacked. A tree that has been down for over a year might still be more than half water. Look for cracking on the cut ends of logs and bark that is falling off as good indications that firewood is properly seasoned. Properly cured firewood will weigh less than wet wood, and will make a sound like bowling pins when knocked together. Wet wood will be heavy for its size and make a dull thud when knocked together.
The best way to tell if wood is properly cured is to use an electronic wood moisture meter. Split a log and take a measurement from the center of the newly cut surface, parallel to the grain. Properly cured wood should read less than 20% moisture content. If the wood reads higher than 20%, it needs a few more months to cure.
Don't move air-dried firewood across long distances—it can potentially transport invasive species. Introducing a new wood boring insect can be devastating to local forests, so be mindful of your firewood source. If possible, find firewood within 10 miles of where you'll use it. Don't travel more than 50 miles with air-dried firewood.
If you must travel with firewood, look for bundles of firewood from the hardware store that are labeled "kiln dried." Firewood that has been heated in a kiln is usually safe to transport, since all the insects inside it have been killed. Manufactured pressed wood logs or bricks are also safe to transport, and are a good option for long, clean-burning fires.
Downed wood that you found in the forest is not usually the ideal fuel for immediate use in your wood stove, but it can be used if necessary. If no other fuel source is available, having the ability to heat your home and cook your food with found wood can be a literal lifesaver.
Tools for foraging include a small hand axe for chopping limbs and splitting logs, a sturdy firewood carry bag for carrying your fuel, a wood moisture meter, and a saw capable of cutting through a medium sized log. An electric or gas chainsaw is very helpful, but a 21" or larger bow saw will work if you don't mind the manual labor, and a human-powered saw may be most reliable in an emergency.
Learn to identify your local trees by their leaves and bark so that you can pick out desirable firewood. Hardwoods like oak and maple are ideal for wood stove fuel. Softwoods have lower BTU content than hardwoods since they're less dense, but they can also work well as stove fuel. Soft, sappy woods like pine should be avoided if possible, since they can cause excessive creosote formation.
Wood that has been down for a long period of time can still have a surprisingly high moisture content. Look for downed wood that has been sitting for a long while, but isn't rotten. Bark that is falling off is often a good sign that a piece of wood is worth investigating. Sometimes a good piece of wood is rotten on the outside, but has a core of solid dry wood. Once you think you've found a good candidate, cut a log from it, and split the log. Use a moisture meter on the freshly split surface to verify that the moisture content is 20% or lower. If the wood is dry, cut as many logs as you can carry back home.
Avoid using wet fuel if possible, but if you have no other choice, there are a few things you can do to improve your results. Cut your driest fuel into kindling to get your fire going. Wet kindling will require several tries to start a fire. Cut your wet fuel into small pieces to make it easier to drive off the moisture, and put new logs in the fire before you need them, so they have time to dry out. Understand that the heat output of your stove will be significantly reduced with wet fuel, and your chimney will fill with creosote much more quickly. Be sure to inspect your flue system frequently and sweep it as often as necessary to avoid significant creosote buildup.
Most wood stoves can be used to burn a variety of solid fuels aside from wood. Anthracite coal and charcoal are often acceptable fuels for use in wood stoves. You can use hardwood pellets by adding a fireproof basket insert that fits inside the fire box.
Unacceptable fuels for a wood stove stove include any liquid fuels, which could cause the stove or the flue to explode. Do not burn plywood, OSB, or other wood products containing glue, since the burning glue can be toxic, and can cause hard to remove deposits inside the flue. Don't burn trash, leaves or pine needles. Newsprint can be used as tinder for starting fires, but don't burn large quantities of paper in the stove.
If you're going to burn coal, anthracite coal is best. Bituminous coal will also burn, but it gives off a lot of soot which is bad for air quality, makes a mess on the roof, and will clog up the flue system fairly quickly. If you must burn a dirty fuel like bituminous coal, be sure to inspect and clean the flue system frequently.
Coal burns very differently in the stove than wood. Wood fires burn from the top, so tighten down the primary air once there is a good bed of coals, and keep the secondary air open for an efficient burn. Coal fires burn from the bottom up, so keep the primary air open and close the secondary air to keep the fire fed with fresh air from the bottom.

there have been a few threads about this but nothing conclusive.
the point is what stats tool to offer our users? I'll list a few with my personal opinion:
Google Analytics:
– requires user to sign up and get API key, too complicated for the casual blogger who just wants to see how many visitors he had and show these stats off to his visitors
– if you go this way, how do you tie it into your dashboard?
– how do you allow users to show off their stats on the front end?
– I had a problem with it which I related in this thread and a user seems to have come up with a solution: https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/found-a-pretty-bad-security-bug-with-firestats-need-some-testers-to-please-confirm-it#post-80887
– unfortunately firestats doesn't have nice graphics but DB usage is nice and it is not processor intensive if you take the time to read the readme and properly set up its configuration
– does have a widget to show basic stats on the front end.
– would pick this if it had some graphics and the author would implement a few of my suggestions, i.e. you can delete stats only for one blog at a time… i.e. if you delete 100 spammers you need to manually delete their stats :slight_frown:
– looks nice at the first glance, but don't let it fool you: if you use this plugin to set it up sitewide: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-piwik it works flawless, but remember the users won't have access to the piwik back end that you are so in love with, all they see are the stats the plugin offers them.
– haven't seen a widget to show the stats on the front end either
– DB usage seems huge. Please check for yourself. read the FAQ, it seems there are roadmaps to have automatic archiving of old data. right now there isn't
– can't track a visitor's action nicely across my site, or am I blind? I want to see his path and analyze his behavior
whats your take on this?
May I add that James said here: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-piwik that there might be a stats plugin in the making… No news since…
And let me add my favorite stats plugin for wordpress, unfortunately never used it on multisite, but if this could be modded, I'D even pay for it: http://082net.com/2009/1003/wp-slimstat-ex-v2-1/#wp-slimstat-ex-v21-en it comes extendable with so called PINS kinda plugins and has some really hidden gems inside.
Fire away, let me hear your take on this.

Law (Professional Placement Year) Bath Spa University Degree level: Undergraduate
Course summary
TEF Silver
Bath Spa University has opted into the TEF and received a Silver award.
Accelerate your development by applying your legal knowledge whilst developing career enhancing skills.
Gain practical experience as you prepare for a career in the legal sector, and beyond.
- Mapped against the new regulatory framework for the training of solicitors and barristers.
This innovative course is informed by the new regulatory framework for the training of solicitors and barristers. The course meets the requirements of the Bar Standards Board. It also enables students wishing to complete the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) to develop their legal knowledge and skills of research and writing. The course will provide students with many of the skills required to complete the practice elements of the SQE. Options such as Marketing and Creativity will enable graduates not only to be better lawyers, but will also provide them with better employment prospects if they choose not to follow a career in law.
The course will cover the 'foundation law subjects' required by the Bar Standards Board, including tort, contract, criminal and property law. It will also introduce practical skills such as case analysis, negotiation and alternative dispute resolution, drafting, interviewing and mooting.
Students will develop the ability to understand connections between legal topics, rather then compartmentalising learning. This replicates legal and paralegal practice, where problems are rarely neatly packaged. Students will be supported to develop their professional practice and employability skills throughout the degree.
Students will be able to select from a range of interdisciplinary options including business, criminology and sociology, as well as law options such as Corporate Law, Employment Law or Entertainment, Media and Intellectual Property Law. This will enable them not only to be better lawyers due to their experiences outside a legal education framework, but will also provide them with better employment prospects if they choose not to follow a career in law.
Students will be encouraged to undertake a work placement, and the Law Clinic in the third year is an experiential learning option which will provide opportunities for students to provide legal advice to clients.
More about the Professional Placement Year
A Professional Placement Year (PPY), traditionally known as a sandwich year, is where a student undertakes a period of work with an external organisation for between 9-13 months. The placement occurs between the students' second and third years of undergraduate study.
