Several of the ongoing mysteries on "Castle" are getting closer to being revealed – but will "When will Castle and Beckett hook up?" be one of them?
"This has been a season of secrets," series' creator Andrew Marlowe revealed, who promises that revelations are pending in the last several episodes of the season. "Castle and Beckett have been keeping secrets from each other, and as we get to this last run of episodes, the secrets start to come out. And both characters and the characters around them will have to deal with the emotional consequences of it. We're really looking forward to bringing those episodes to life. We think they'll be a lot of fun, especially for loyal fans of the show who'll see those characters tested."
A number of those tests were unveiled when the cast and creators gathered for a tribute evening at PaleyFest, but as usual the hottest topic among the "Castle" team was Castle and Beckett's "will they/won't they?" dynamic.
"I think the challenge for us in the writers' room is to find reasons for these guys not to be together and struggle with when they should be together," Marlowe explained. "So we always talk about this as a sweeping love story, and I'm somebody who feels like there will come a moment when the two of them do get together and there's plenty of storytelling after that, so we just want to be true to who these characters are and make sure in creating obstacles that we're not repeating ourselves, that they're natural obstacles and dramatic obstacles…As long we feel we can credibly do that with these characters, we feel incredibly comfortable. And there will come a time where we'll feel like we can't credibly keep these characters apart."
"I think when that time comes, it opens up new opportunities in the storytelling," added Marlowe, "because when characters are in a relationship they fundamentally act differently and they get on each other's nerves in different ways, and they're fun in different ways. So I'm not saying necessarily that if and when they're together Beckett and Castle can go on a Princess Cruise and solve crimes, but having problems on the other side of that does bring up possibilities. If and when it does happen, the next evolution in their relationship can be just as fun, so I'm not somebody who believes you wait until the end of the series. I'm somebody who believes in the 'curse of "Moonlighting."'
"It's played out very well, I think," star Nate Fillion told PopcornBiz. "It's been very tastefully and artfully dealt with, as far as the dance that we're talking about. But I don't think it's something that can be done forever."
Co-star Stana Katic said she's not expecting a completely smooth coupling, if it happens. "I feel like any romance has a fantastic honeymoon period at first, but there's also a lot of confusion, like, 'What do you mean by that? What do you mean you don't do this? Do you like this? Am I doing something that's driving you nuts?' There's a lot of those kinds of questions that show up in the beginning of a relationship…I feel like there's a lot of opportunity in that world if we do decide to go down that path."
Until then, Fillion's already imagining the characters' first intimate encounter, with "Castle's" usual lighthearted spin. "I always thought it should be really clumsy – Stuff getting knocked over, 'Ow, ow, you're hurting my—' 'Sorry.'"
While that issue remains up in the air, there is an inspired guest-starring role ahead – another detective – that will reunite Fillion with a former co-star from his cult favorite series "Firefly."
"Our good friend Adam Baldwin is coming on. He's this character named Det. Slaughter, and that kind of says it all. I tail him for a little while – he's working on a case, and it's not going be the same experience for Castle [as Beckett]."
"There's an episode called 'The Limey' that's quite exciting to me because I get to play with Tamala Jones and we get to see a bit of Beckett's girly, more intimate side," said Katic. "It's kind of like a Bond-themed episode, because Scotland Yard comes to play with the New York police detectives, and we have a great detective played by Brett Tucker in that episode."
"Stana and I worked very hard trying to get those real beats and moments that girlfriends really do share in that episode," added Jones, who says her character Lanie's personal life will also be up for inspection. "Lanie and Esposito are still seeing each other secretly, but you'll hear about it before you see it. There could be a Castle baby happening between Esposito and Lanie. There are so many directions that you could go. I think it'd be a good thing. I don't think it's a be-careful-what-you-wish-for because we're both sassy, the two of us – Esplanie."
The ongoing mystery of who's responsible for the murder of Beckett's mother will also resurface, said Marlowe. "It is something that we'll be touching on before the end of the season. And whenever that arises it puts Beckett in a very emotionally raw situation and interesting things happen."
A second parental conundrum recently surfaced when Castle's CIA agent ex-flame (Jennifer Beals) broadly hinted that his long-missing father was a member of the Agency. "I think it's a little mystifying to Castle because he doesn't know if he can trust what the Sophia character said," explained Marlowe. "And if your father is in the CIA, how do you find out? But it's something that we're going be exploring as we move forward in the series."
Fillion said he expects that Castle won't react radically to the information – at least at first. "I was always very comfortable with the fact that Castle never had a dad, so he never experienced the loss or the 'missing' part of his life – he's always had a very full family life," he said. "He's not haunted by the absence of a father. But he's a very curious man, and I think he would eventually want to know about his father."

Despite the fact that good oral health is essential for the overall health of both mother and child, only 22 to 34 percent of women in the United States visit a dentist during pregnancy.

Itchy, swollen eyes, sneezing and a runny nose may sound like a case of seasonal allergies, but for many it's the reality faced each time they visit the dentist. According to the February 2008 issue of AGD Impact, the monthly newsmagazine of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), allergic reactions that occur in the dental office may be caused by materials or medications such as latex or local anesthetic.
Masks, gloves and syringes in the dental office are usually made of latex, which is a natural rubber harvested from trees. Prolonged exposure to latex dust from powered gloves can trigger an allergic reaction. Also, a small number of patients may also experience allergic reactions to local anesthetics, which are used to numb the mouth and gums during certain dental procedures. The type of anesthesia required depends on the needs or preferences of the patient. Although allergic reactions to local anesthetics are rare, they do occur.
Allergies to latex and anesthesia should not prevent patients from visiting the dentist. It is still important to visit the dentist twice a year and there are ways to avoid experiencing an allergic reaction.

Here's the story – a male cop in St. Paul, Minnesota decided it would be funny and clever to dress up as a female Somali Target employee for a private Halloween party that he attended last year. He wore a hijab, tucked a cell phone next to his face underneath the hijab, and pinned a Target nametag bearing a common Somali name to the front of his clothes. Someone took a photo of him in his costume and that photo was posted to Twitter. Now the backlash is starting to catch up to him.
The woman that he turned into a costume – I know her. In the South Minneapolis neighborhood where I live and shop, I have walked by her on the street, smiled at her, shared a bus seat with her, and have done business with her. For some reason, this man thought she was something to be mocked – a stereotype that he could wear, a joke.
His apology, as quoted by the Star Tribune, is a mockery of apologies – a prime example of the Not-Pology (i.e. – he's very sorry if you were offended). Actually, I think the Star Trib captured it perfectly in the title of their article: "St. Paul officer in hijab apologizes for photo." There is no doubt in my mind that he is quite sorry about the photo.
In addition to this story, I want to talk about the discussion that was had about this story that took place among me and some acquaintances. Someone was reading the paper and mentioned it. A few people sighed, shook their heads, said something to the effect of "That's not right." And then somebody said this:
"But you know…some people will get offended by anything."
A few others chimed in with their agreement and it was ON. Here are some of the things that were said during that discussion:
"I don't get why people are upset. It was just a joke."
"He wasn't trying to be offensive."
"But…it's Halloween! And really, his costume wasn't that much different than the stuff they sell in Halloween stores. Nobody says those costumes are racist."
"We'll just have to disagree."
You all are a pretty savvy bunch when it comes to issues of racism and privilege. I've learned a lot from the blogs and commentary that I read, and apparently all that internet-learning has paid off; I was pleasantly suprised to find myself holding up a pretty cogent argument for why the cop was in the wrong and why it was wrong to try to shame the people who were offended by his actions.
Let me step back and share something with you: It's taken me a long time for me to begin to grasp the complexities of race, class, gender, sex and ableist privilege. Hell, to grasp the idea of privilege at all. And I've still got a ways to go. I've had some deeply uncomfortable moments when being confronted with these issues. It seems strange to have to go through so much internal struggle and self-questioning to come to this understanding:
"Oh! I get it! What I'm doing is offensive because you've told me that I'm being offensive. I should stop being offensive."
But really – it's that simple.
We can learn a lot by letting our discomfort be the starting point for conversations. Although, as was recently pointed out to me, the person who has been offended might not feel like having a conversation about the offense-causing behavior, in which case it becomes the our job to do the research and find out how and why we screwed up, and to try to not do it again.
Back to the conversation about the cop's Halloween's costume. Someone said this: "Anybody can be offended by anything, then! I don't like your pink scarf. Pink offends me!"
O rly?
That argument is a distraction. First of all – you're not offended by me wearing pink. Stop being an ass. And in my experience, people really aren't offended "by anything" – they're usually offended for a reason. When we say "some people are offended by anything", we're trivializing the worth of their complaint. It's not right to dismiss someone's pain or anger just because you can't understand why they're offended.
One surprising thing that seems to happen as I learn more about privilege is that complex topics sometimes get a lot simpler. For example, let's revist the rest of those comments from the discussion:
"I don't get it. It was just a joke."
It's not a joke to the Somali community that the cop was mocking.
"He wasn't trying to be offensive."
Doesn't matter – he was.
"But…it's Halloween! And really, his costume wasn't that much different than the stuff they sell in Halloween stores. Nobody says those costumes are racist."
Yes they do. Lots of people say that (too bad hyperlinks don't work in r/l conversations).
"We'll just have to disagree."
OK. You're still in the wrong. Also, it's kind of shitty to play the "agree to disagree" card when we're talking about whether or not we should treat our fellow human beings with respect.
Here's another thought – take a look at the situation in which the offense happened. If some random man had dressed up like a Somali woman for a costume party, that would make him a jerk of one stripe or another. But this story is getting attention in part because the man is law enforcement officer who is entrusted with serving all of the citizens in his area. How can the Somali community trust him to serve them equally and fairly when his actions have shown that he thinks they're a joke?
No really…how?
Well first, he could offer a sincere apology and acknowledge that his costume was unacceptable and bigoted. He could say "I was wrong. I apologize to the people who I offended. I will do and be better going forward."
That would be an excellent start.

Iconic slices: Crozet Pizza comes to the Corner

It's the place, not the pizza!b17 September 27th, 2012 | 8:43pm
I've been to the Crozet location several times and have never understood the hype. I've never had a pizza there I would rate above a perfectly OK. "Divine" is an incredible exaggeration. There's almost as much nonsense fluff surrounding the place as there is around Peter Chang. I like the woodstove and I can see why someplace, anyplace, especially with what used to be a nice drive was exciting back when it opened, but I can't for the life of me see why anyone other than those within walking distance or a very short drive would bother now.Chris September 27th, 2012 | 8:56pm
The White Spot hasn't been the same since Lyle sold it and they expanded the menu. It's just another counter diner now, which is fine in its own right, but it doesn't have some quality it used to for me.Buzzman September 27th, 2012 | 9:31pm
You've been there "several" times? And you feel entitled to rag on a place that has had customers coming back for more for the last 35 years? Did it occur to you that you might be missing something? Maybe you don't understand the hype because you simply don't understand.andy September 28th, 2012 | 7:37am
Agree that much of the magic is in the trip. With Christian's right around The Corner it will be interesting to see how magic the transplanted pizza seems in town.TGB September 28th, 2012 | 11:59am
I ordered a pie from Crozet pizza when I lived in that area and when I got it home there was a clump or RED hair on it!! Not a piece of hair, but a clump! Never went back and never will!Walter White September 28th, 2012 | 12:23pm
Gotta be better than that overpriced stuff at Mellow Mushroom. Anyone know where you can get just a greasy pepperonni pizza loaded with cheese for under 12 bucks? Charlottesville has the worst pizza of any college town I have ever seen.More Pizza Please September 28th, 2012 | 1:01pm
It will add options, I guess, and at least this site will have beer, which the Crozet site didn't have last time i went there years ago. Hope they don't keep using cheap paper plates, though. Not sure how they think they will survive the absence of free parking at the Corner. And, no, Crozet Pizza won't be the best in town, or even in the neighborhood, as Christian's has it beat. Maybe the competition will force one of them to get bigger into delivery. Keep in mind -- the true devotees of CP seem to be non-Crozetians, while the locals out there instead generally opt for Sal's. Will Cvillians rever CP the same way if it doesn't involve the ceremonial trek out of town?omgitspaul September 28th, 2012 | 2:36pm
I wish Crozet pizza the best, but for my money, it's Dr. Ho's Humble Pie in North Garden. Lousy service, but a great pie.Lousy Thieves September 28th, 2012 | 2:50pm
I think these guys ripping off the Buddhist Biker name is a crime. I used to go there back in the day and it was my place. Knew all of the people and was treated well by the owner. Ripping off their name so you could somehow capitalize on someone else's hard work is horrible.
I also hope that the old owners sue to stop such treachery. Alexander and the Trinity guys should come up with their own ideas.Nobody September 28th, 2012 | 3:35pm

Cheapish good pizza: Fabio's on High St. I think it's $12.50 for a large with pepperoni, but the mediums are a couple of bucks cheaper and still pretty big. They also do slices.Walter White September 28th, 2012 | 8:37pm
Fabios is skimpy with the sauce and cheese. I will give Tip Top a try though. Best around is Frank's Pizza in Lexington, VA. Dr. Ho's was awesome, until they got new owners. Then the service went to heck along with the pizza.b17 September 28th, 2012 | 9:06pm
I still haven't been to the place across from the JPA bridge. What's the word on that from people who have been?? September 28th, 2012 | 9:39pm

Sadly, the today's Crozet Pizza is but a pale, tasteless shade of what it was when Bob and Karen Crum operated the place and Bob made every pie himself. Typical story, new owners change a tried and true formula to save a dime or put their personal stamp on the product, hire disinterested people to do the actual work, and the quality goes down. I ate at Crozet Pizza for 30 years, but no more.Crozet Fan! October 1st, 2012 | 9:24pm
God Bless Bob & Karen Crum! Why, I remember a time, you whippersnappers, when you could not get into Crozet Pizza without a reservation.whatthe October 4th, 2012 | 5:25pm
the pizza was once legendary, it is true!
it is not now, and that also is true!
crozet pizza the brand should stay in crozet, it should not be taken to the corner and called crozet pizza.Stiff Competition October 9th, 2012 | 12:45pm
Wow, going head to head with Christian's Pizza? No comparison. At all. I don't think they have a chance.

Recently, a young African-American reader told me she did not see herself in the covers of HUMANITIES. She was talking mainly about the magazine's coverage of European culture, which she assumed is always about white people. I say this not to criticize. I make the same assumption.
But a new exhibit at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore asks us to think again. The curators have turned their eyes to examples of diversity in Renaissance art, not simply background figures painted in darker hues, but subtle evidence of racial mixing in portraits of European elite. Mary Kay Zuravleff reports.
The conversation with our reader made me wonder whether even I, the magazine's editor, see myself in the magazine's stories, which are, of course, drawn directly from projects funded by NEH. The answer is, well, sometimes.
Two hundred years ago, Jane Austen published Pride and Prejudice, a novel about early nineteenth-century middle-class English girls hoping to find matches. In reading Meredith Hindley 's essay on Austen's writing of this masterpiece, I can say, yes, I do see myself in such stories. In reading Pride and Prejudice, I feel a sibling-like bond with Elizabeth Bennet. In reading about Austen's struggle to make ends meet and be a writer, I identify with Jane herself.
And in reading or watching Hamlet, I identify with the prince of Denmark. Who doesn't see himself in Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies, which receive a wonderfully intelligent gloss in the new NEH-supported television series Shakespeare Uncovered. If your only idea of a literary documentary is a fixed shot of an old professor in a wing-backed chair holding forth from his study, you must check out this six-part series from WNET, which was developed in partnership with the BBC.
In reading about the Civil War it is easy now to see the moral greatness of those who crusaded against slavery, but the abolitionists were, in the days before the Civil War, radically out of sync with the American mainstream. William Lloyd Garrison burned the Constitution and argued for the North to secede. Indeed, the great abolitionist was anti-Constitution and pro-secession. Watching the new NEH-supported documentary on the abolitionists, it is hard to see oneself in the story of William Lloyd Garrison.
But I am heartened to learn about the Mormon students at Utah Valley University who, in Jean Cheney's article, learn to see themselves in the great philosophical tradition that stretches from the Bible and the ancient Greeks to Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and even some contemporary philosophers. I am not a Mormon, but I can relate.

VERSAILLES, France — The king is dead, but the molecatcher lives on.
He even signs SMS messages: "Molecatcher to the king." It's been over two centuries since Louis XVI was guillotined on Paris' Place de la Concorde, but the job of hunting the underground pest that so troubled French monarchs on the grounds of the Versailles palace still exists.
Its current holder carries on, business as usual, with a task that hasn't changed in centuries.
"It might sound funny, but it's serious work. My job is to make sure molehills don't deface Europe's finest gardens," says 36-year-old Jerome Dormion, the latest in an unbroken 330-year line of mole-killers in the royal palace and gardens visited by six million people a year. "We still have visiting dignitaries too. Imagine if they were to see them!"
Dormion - who started out as a regular gardener before noticing a niche in the molecatching market - keeps the roughly 800 hectares (2,000 acres) of magnificent horticulture mole-free. The grounds include fountains, an orangery, glistening landscaped grass, Marie Antoinette's cherished farm and famed gardener Andre Le Notre's Royal Path and Grand Canal.
He takes the work very seriously - but there's the odd flash of humor.
"I'm known as the king's molecatcher because Versailles is still the palace," he says. "The king might be gone, but the palace still has moles, loads of them." He smiles: "Which is good, as it keeps me in work!"
Versailles is a veritable hotbed for moles, unlike some other European palaces, since it lies in the verdant countryside some 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) outside the Paris city walls. Across the channel, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II need not furrow her regal brow, as her palace, within London, is protected by city foundations that prevent moles from digging through to the royal residence.
At Versailles, large mounds of earth mark out the path of the mole's underground kingdom, in which Dormion sets dozens of archaic-looking traps featuring two metal prongs that smash together to break the neck.
"It resembles a guillotine," says Dormion with a wry-smile. He tried poison for a while, but decided the contraption invented in the 1600s was the best, not to mention most faithful to the historic role.
For their part, moles, solitary underground creatures with giant paws for digging, outdate even the oldest kings of France.
They first burrowed into Europe some 40 million years ago, and over the centuries have been the enduring bane of royal gardens in and around France. In fact, it's a small miracle that a myopic, near-deaf worm-eater that can die of stress if it goes above ground has survived so long.
Zoologists say their against-all-odds success is due to a decline in natural predators like wild cats and weasels - and the mole population is now booming. One single mole can make 30 molehills a day, which multiplied a hundred-fold can see entire estates pockmarked within weeks.
The royal molecatcher was first hired by Louis XIV, the Bourbon king who moved the court to Versailles in the late 1600s. Historians say that the spendthrift monarch lavished so much money on the upkeep of his beloved residence that it plunged the entire country into debt.
"Versailles was the greatest symbol of France. After everything (Louis) spent on the gardens, imagine if the moles had been allowed to run riot? All this money would have been squandered, wasted," says Versailles' head gardener Alan Baraton.
"For the king, of course, it was one of the most important functions at the palace."
So vital was the molecatcher to preserving the beauty of the costly gardens, he was rewarded with his own residence at Versailles. From the 1600s, the molecatchers all came from the same family - the Liards - until in 1812 Napoleon Bonaparte put a stop to the father-to-son succession.
"The last Liard molecatcher was a bit of a party animal, and turned the residence into a cabaret and a brothel," said Baraton.
"One day Napoleon was strolling in the gardens, and a prostitute came out and propositioned him. The molecatcher was immediately thrown out and that was the end of the residence."
Being a good molecatcher can also save lives. In 1702, William III of England died from injuries he sustained after his horse tripped on a molehill. "If the king had been more careful about the upkeep of his grass, he would not have been dead at 52 years old," says Baraton wisely.
Dormion, too, doesn't underestimate his prey.
"Moles are exceptionally clever. That's why the majority of gardeners can't catch them. One of the wiliest I have ever encountered outsmarted my traps for three months. ... Eventually, it got lazy and I got it."
He calls it one of his proudest professional moments.
Dormion also highlights how versatile the mole is. On a scorching summer day, he once stood aghast at a strange sight in one of the royal fountains: a mole swimming around the basin.
"In my job," says Dormion, "I never fail to be surprised."

Brown, Hallie Q.
'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land ,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there's a God--that there's a Savior, too ,
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew .
--Phillis Wheatley .
In the year 1761, a little slave girl about seven years old, stood in the market place in Boston, Massachusetts, with a number of others to be sold as chattel.
The little girl had been brought from far off Africa. She stood a pitiful looking object with no clothing save a piece of dirty, ragged carpet tied around her. Mrs. John Wheatley had several slaves, but they were growing too old to be active and she wished to purchase a young girl, whom she could train up in such a manner as to make a good domestic. For this purpose she went to the slave market and there she saw the little girl who appeared to be in ill health, which no doubt was due to the suffering she endured in the slave-ship on the long voyage. Mrs. Wheatley was a kind, religious woman and though she considered the sickly look of the child an objection, there was something so gentle and modest in the expression of her dark countenance and her large mournful eyes that her heart was drawn toward her and she bought her in preference to several others who looked more robust. She took her home in her chaise, gave her a bath and dressed her in clean clothes. They could not at first understand her and she resorted to signs and gestures for she spoke only her native African dialect and a few words of broken English. Mrs. Wheatley gave her
Phillis soon learned to speak English, but she could tell nothing of herself nor when she was torn from her parents by the slave-traders, nor where she had been since that time. The poor, little orphan had gone through so much suffering and terror that her mind had become bewildered concerning the past.
The only thing that clung to her about Africa was seeing her mother pour out water before the rising sun which would indicate that the mother descended from some remote tribe of sun-worshippers. And that sight of her mother doing reverence before the great luminous orb coming as it did out of the nowhere, but giving light and cheer to the world, naturally impressed the child's imagination so deeply that she remembered it when all else was forgotten about her native land. In the course of a year and a half a wonderful change took place in the little, forlorn stranger. She not only learned to speak English correctly, but was able to read fluently in any part of the Bible. She possessed uncommon intelligence and a great desire for knowledge. She was often found trying to make letters with charcoal on the walls and fences. Mrs. Wheatley's daughter became her teacher. She found this an easy task for the pupil learned with astonishing quickness. At the same time she showed such an amiable, affectionate disposition that all the members of the family became much attached to her. Her gratitude to her motherly benefactress was unbounded and her greatest delight was to do anything to please her. At the age of fourteen she began to write poetry. Owing to such uncommon manifestations of intelligence, she was never put to hard household work. She became the companion of Mrs. Wheatley and her daughter. Her poetry attracted attention and friends of Mrs. Wheatley lent her books which she read with great eagerness. She soon acquired a good knowledge of
She was often invited to the homes of wealthy and distinguished people but she was not turned by so much flattery and attention. Seriousness and humility were natural to Phillis and she retained the same gentle, modest deportment that had won Mrs. Wheatley's heart when she first saw her in the market-place. Although tenderly cared for and not required to do any fatiguing work, her constitution never recovered from the shock it had received in early childhood. At the age of nineteen her health failed so rapidly that physicians said it was necessary for her to take a sea-voyage. A son of Mrs. Wheatley was going to England on commercial business and his mother proposed that Phillis should go with him. In England she received even more attention than had been bestowed upon her at home. Several of the nobility invited her to their houses and her poems were published in a volume with an engraved likeness of the author. Still the young poet was not spoiled by flattery. A relative of Mrs. Wheatley remarked that not all the attention she received, nor all the honors that men heaped upon her had the slightest influence upon her temper and deportment. She was the same simple-hearted, unsophisticated being. She addressed
"Should you, my Lord, while you peruse my song,
Wonder from Whence my love of Freedom sprung,
Whence flow these wishes for the common good,
By feeling hearts alone best understood,
I, young in life, by seeming cruel fate,
Was snatched from Afric's fancied happy state.
What pangs excruciating must molest,
What sorrows labor in my parent's breast!
Steeled was that soul, and by no misery moved,
That from a father seized his babe beloved.
Such was my case; and can I then but pray
Others may never feel tyrannic sway."
King George, the third, was soon expected in London and the English friends of Phillis wished to present her to their king; but letters from America informed her of the declining health of her beloved Mrs. Wheatley and she greatly desired to see her. No honors could divert her mind from the friend of her childhood. She returned to Boston immediately. The good lady died soon after. Mr. Wheatley soon followed and the daughter, the kind teacher of her youth, did not long survive. The son married and settled in England. For a short time Phillis remained with a friend of Mrs. Wheatley, then she rented a room and lived by herself. It was a sad change for her. The war of the American Revolution broke out. In the Autumn of 1776, General Washington had his headquarters at Cambridge, Massachusetts. The spirit of the occasion moved Phillis to address some complimentary verses to him. In reply, he sent her the following courteous note:
"I thank you most sincerely for your polite notice of me in the elegant lines you enclosed. However undeserving I may be of such encomium, the style and manner exhibit a striking proof of your poetical talents. In honor of
"If you should ever come to Cambridge, or near headquarters, I shall be happy to see a person so favored by the Muses, and to whom Nature had been so liberal and beneficent in her dispensations."I am, with great respect,
"Your obedient, humble servant, " George Washington ."
The early friends of Phillis were dead, or scattered abroad and she felt alone in the world. About this time she formed the acquaintance of a colored man by the name of Peters who kept a grocery store. He was very intelligent, spoke fluently, wrote easily, dressed well and was handsome in appearance. He proposed marriage and in an evil hour she accepted him. He proved to be lazy, proud and high-tempered. He neglected his business, failed and became very poor. Though unwilling to do hard work himself, he wanted to make a drudge of his wife. She was unaccustomed to hardships, her constitution was frail and she was the mother of three little children with no one to help her in household labors and cares. He had no pity on her and increased her burdens by his ill temper. The little ones sickened and died and their gentle mother was completely broken down, by sorrow and toil.
Some of the descendants of her lamented benefactress heard of her illness. They found her in a forlorn situation, suffering for the common comforts of life.
The Revolutionary War was still raging. Everybody was mourning sons and husbands slain in battle. Currency was deranged and the country was poor. The people were too anxious and troubled to think of the African poet whom they once delighted to honor. And so it happened
It was a mournful reverse of fortune; but she was patient and resigned. She made no complaint of her unfeeling husband.
The friends and descendants of Mrs. Wheatley did all they could to relieve her destitute condition but fortunately for her she soon went "Where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."
Her husband was so generally disliked that she was never called Mrs. Peters, but went by the name bestowed upon her by her benefactress and by which she will be known to all posterity the name of PHILLIS WHEATLEY.
--L. Maria Child in Freedmen's Book to whom much of the above is due .

Numi's Savory Vegetable Teas: Way Too Weird, or Oddly Delicious?
If there's anything my morning or afternoon biscuit break's been missing it's a nice hot cup of pseudo-vegetable broth, and Numi tea has answered the unspoken (indeed, likely unconscious) prayers and fears of many (if any) with the introduction of their new line of, that's right, savory, vegetable-flavored, decaffeinated teas.
What's that you say? You've never thought of tea and soup as having such a fine line between the two? Guess again, as you, like us, become surprised at how not totally weird a cup of tomato-mint green tea can really be, in the right mindset.
Numi's 'Garden Sampler' box of savory teas (though you can buy the teas individually as well) contains a panoply of vegetable "tea" flavors: Carrot Curry, Spinach Chive, Broccoli Cilantro, Beet Cabbage, Fennel Spice and Tomato Mint. They're herbal infusions—just like the sicktime Lemon Ginger flavors you may favor—and despite the concept still feeling a bit shocking, still, this is less weird to me than pina colada flavored water.
Using decaffeinated black or green teas as the base, Numi claims these veggie infusions are "not quite a soup"; they're basically being sold as light soup alternatives. More than once the box refers to the infusions as a "snack" (have I ever eaten soup as a "snack"? Isn't that crackers' job?) as well as a "great companion to keep at your desk" (well, I have been lonely...) and a "savory way to mix up your tea routine". Yes! Let's mix it up! On with the mixing!
I started off with Fennel Spice, which seemed the least controversial flavor for early-morning um, snacking. Though it's easy to picture this being sweet, like other fennel teas, the ingredients in this particular tea are decidedly savory: dill, onion, celery root. It's light-drinking (despite the 10-minute steep time) and pleasant enough, its savory tones warming, even. But would they get weirder from here?
Yes. Beet-Cabbage. Looks like rooibos...tastes like...soup! I love beets passionately, and would do nearly anything for them, but mix them with cabbage and drink them is not one of them. In a possibly even more disturbing twist, there is a pronounced clove note in here. Let's move on.
Tomato Mint: Totally drinkable, pleasant and surprising. You like gazpacho, right? What if you accidentally let it warm up? Makes sense, right? Spinach Chive is also drinkable, but prominent onion flavors in my tea-snack will take time to come to terms with.
What else is in the box? Broccoli Cilantro: Cilantro's divisive enough if you don't put it in a broccoli tea infusion. This is a strong one, again heavy on the onion...and garlic!
Carrot Curry? Why yes, it is! My brain and my flavor-brain still hurt, but this one isn't too bad either. You could easily convince yourself it's medicinal and restorative, once you get past the drinking-curry-broth hurdle.
Overall, the execution's right: none of these herbal-vegetal infusions is played with too heavy a hand, and, in the right frame of mind, I could see them growing on the drinker with little hard work. Will it convert a person from soup? Or from tea, for that matter? As with many matters of drastic innovation, this one's too early to call. But for now, we'll be over here in the corner with our tomato-mint drink-snack, contemplating the future.

LIBRES, Volume 24, Issue 1 (June 2014)
This is the inaugural issue of LIBRES e-journal under "new management" at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The first 23 volumes of LIBRES were published by the Department of Information Studies, Curtin University. It was then felt that a change in environment and management would be beneficial for the journal, especially as long-time editor-in-chief Kerry Smith was retiring from academe. A 23-year run is impressive for any journal. However, the world has changed a lot in a quarter of a century, and it was time to take a fresh look at the journal, try new ways of doing things, and perhaps pick a new direction to catch a fresh wind …

It was found that total circulation counts changed depending on the streaming services used. Specifically only Hulu was found to correlate negatively. Library titles available on Netflix Streaming had more charges on average then titles not available on Netflix streaming. Titles available on Amazon Instant were twice as likely to circulate then items not available on Amazon Instant. This leads to the possibility that Amazon Instant might be used as collection development tool in order to gauge how often certain DVD title could circulate. In addition it can be concluded that availability over subscription streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Instant, actually points to items that may circulate more frequently.

Introduction. This study sought to identify common factors of library use, knowledge and perceptions, and clusters of library users with similar profiles on these factors, reflecting different patterns of library use behaviour.
Method. A questionnaire was designed to collect data relating to five aspects of library use, knowledge and perceptions: 1. Library search skills/confidence, 2. Familiarity with and use of library resources, 3. Familiarity with and use of library services, 4. Familiarity with the library organization system, 5. Perceptions of library searching experience. A survey was conducted on a group of undergraduate students in Japan.
Analysis. Principal components analysis was applied to identify the principal components of library use/knowledge/perception, while cluster analysis found different user groups with different profiles of library use/knowledge/perception.
Results. Four clusters of undergraduate library users were identified as ineffective library users, effective library users, ineffective but positive users, and self-sufficient users.

Thailand suffers from frequent flooding during the monsoon season and droughts in summer. In some places, severe cases of both may even occur. Managing water resources effectively requires a good information system for decision-making. There is currently a lack in knowledge sharing between organizations and researchers responsible. These are the experts in monitoring and controlling the water supply and its conditions. The knowledge owned by these experts are not captured, classified and integrated into an information system for decision-making. Ontologies are formal knowledge representation models. Knowledge management and artificial intelligence technology is a basic requirement for developing ontology-based semantic search on the Web. In this paper, we present ontology modeling approach that is based on the experiences of the researchers. The ontology for drought management consists of River Basin Ontology, Statistics Ontology and Task Ontology to facilitate semantic match during search. The hybrid ontology architecture can also be used for drought management.

Stories are becoming an increasingly important knowledge management and knowledge sharing tool to communicate ideas, values and experiences both to internal organizational members and to external stakeholders. This paper reports an initial effort to develop a framework for the analysis of organizational stories. The framework has two major parts: the story framework comprising six elements, and the interaction/communication framework. A story analysis instrument was constructed based on the framework, comprising a series of questions to answer or a set of categories to select. The instrument was applied to twenty organizational stories, and was found to be easy to use and achieve good agreement across the coders. Relations between story type, knowledge embodied and story purpose were explored, and recommendations for crafting organizational stories are made.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the different learning styles of Thai youths and their information behavior at a time where rapidly developing information and communication technology has affected the informational environment. This was a qualitative research study which used theoretical sampling to select study areas and involved thirty participants in their fourth, fifth and sixth year in a large secondary school. The Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scale was used to determine the students' learning styles. The results indicated that learning styles affected information behavior only slightly because the collaborative style of Thai youths was to divide the task and work individually. Information behavior was best examined at a personal level.

BalticClimate videos and photos
BalticClimate Toolkit
The BalticClimate Toolkit is provided via a user-friendly website as stepwise approach and in 11 BSR languages plus English:
The aim of BalticClimate was to produce outputs that are free-of-charge, transferable and easy-to-use for local and regional authorities and actors to achieve similar results throughout the Baltic Sea Region. The BalticClimate Toolkit integrates most of these BalticClimate project outputs.
It supports the development of municipalities, regions and companies, and assists to increase their competitiveness in times of climate change. Policy makers, spatial planners and business people get enabled to deal with mitigation of and adaptation to climate change in a cooperative, integrated and sustainable way. The Toolkit compiles research results, newly developed methodology, exercises, good examples and video clips.
It bases on the BalticClimate partners' actual assessment processes in project's seven Target Areas, their experiences with the provided materials and exercises, and their feedback after aplication and testing.
In addition to the online version the Baltic-Sea-Region-wide distribution and dissemination of an offline-version directly to the local and regional level ensured that the Toolkit is widely applied in practice and that concrete steps are taken to prepare the Baltic Sea Region to tackle the changing climate.
Project process leading to the devleopment of the BalticClimate Toolkit:

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Dec. 8, 2010) - Junior Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) gave the Tar Heels fits, scoring a career-high 21 points on 5-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc, but it wasn't enough to carry ETSU past 12th ranked North Carolina as the Lady Bucs fell 87-47 Wednesday night inside Carmichael Arena.
Wednesday marked the final stop of a four-game road swing, and the Lady Bucs - who faced two top-15 teams during this run - are glad to see the stretch come to an end after going winless and falling to 2-5 on the year. Meanwhile, the Tar Heels remained perfect on the year as UNC improved to 9-0.
Joining Pickwell in double figures was freshman Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) as she finished with 10 points, six rebounds and three steals in 30 minutes.
"I was really pleased with our effort in the first half, but I was disappointed with how we didn't continue executing our game plan in the second," said head coach Karen Kemp. "Natalie kept us in the game by hitting some clutch shots, but North Carolina's athleticism took over in the second half. They forced us into too many turnovers and we stopped hitting shots."
Both teams got off to sluggish starts as they combined to miss on 15 of their first 18 shot attempts, but a Pickwell three-pointer and Mitchell lay-in put the Lady Bucs up 5-4 heading into the first media timeout at the 15:39 mark.
Unfortunately, from there, ETSU remained cold and the Tar Heels scored 11 unanswered points to grab a 15-5 lead with 11:36 showing on the clock. The Lady Bucs finally stopped the drought after getting jumpers from Pickwell and Akaycha Robinson (Fort Meade, Fla.), and ETSU cut the deficit to six, 15-9, when Robinson scored her first collegiate points with 10:28 remaining in the half.
Once again the Tar Heels saw their lead soar to 17, 28-11, but just as it looked like North Carolina had a firm grip on things, Pickwell single-handedly kept the Lady Bucs in the contest. The Kingsport, Tenn. native scored 11 of the next 13 points for the Lady Bucs - pulling ETSU within eight, 32-24, after Pickwell knocked down her fourth 3-pointer of the half with four minutes left before intermission. Eventually the Tar Heels took a 39-26 advantage into the locker room.
Pickwell, who tied her career high with 16 points in the opening 20 minutes, recorded six of ETSU's 11 made field goals (39 attempts). Meanwhile, UNC shot 16-of-38 from the field and the Tar Heels had all but one of their ten players reach the scoring column. Despite being outsized, the Lady Bucs held their own on the boards as ETSU was only out-rebounded by one, 26 to 25.
The three-point shot continued to keep the Lady Bucs within striking distance in the opening stages of the second half as Pickwell and junior Gwen Washington (Manassas, Va.) each netted threes, making it 45-32 after Washington sank her first long distance shot of the season at the 16:12 mark.
However, with the Tar Heels leading 47-34, the Lady Bucs went over seven minutes without a point and UNC opened a 39-point lead, 73-34, after Jessica Breland made one of her two free throw attempts with 8:14 remaining.
The Tar Heels led by as many as 43 points (85-42) when Shannon Smith found Laura Broomfield open for a jumper at with two minutes left.
For the game, ETSU shot 27.9 percent (19-68), while the Tar Heels recorded a 46.1 shooting percentage (35-76). Both teams tallied six three-pointers, while UNC out-rebounded the Lady Bucs, 53 to 39.
North Carolina was led by Italee Lucas as she scored 13 points, while Breland recorded 11 points and nine rebounds.
The Lady Bucs now have an 11-day break between action as they take their final exams. ETSU returns to the hardwood on Monday, Dec. 20 when the Blue and Gold take on Campbell. Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.

Schwab Advisor Services has conducted a semiannual Independent Advisor Outlook Study 11 times now, but the most recent study, released Thursday, includes a new and interesting twist: measuring high-net-worth investors' feelings about the economy and markets, and the role of advisors, in addition to plumbing RIAs' opinions.
In the survey of 882 advisors who work with Schwab's RIA custody unit, and a separate survey of 504 high-net-worth investors, there were some interesting disconnects. For instance, 45% of the advisors surveyed said they had bullish feelings about the markets over the next six months, while only 29% of the HNW investors felt that way. (The surveys were conducted by Koski Research from late January to early February; the HNW investors had investable assets of $1 million or more.) On inflation, while only 44% of advisors expected prices to increase within the next six months, 60% of the HNW expected a rise in inflation. Twenty-seven percent of the investors surveyed expected a double dip recession to hit the U.S. within that time period, almost twice that of the advisors surveyed (14%).
In an interview on Thursday, Bernie Clark (right), head of Schwab Advisor Services, said one of his key takeaways from the surveys was that "optimism is returning" among advisors, as measured by their expectations of an increase in the S&P 500, though it had not yet reached the same level of optimism that was recorded in January 2011. At that time, 71% of advisors surveyed expected to see a rise in the S&P 500; a percentage that dipped to 58% in July 2011 but rose to 67% in the most recent survey.
And while Clark notes that high-net-worth investors are not as optimistic about the markets as their advisors, they "remain confident" in those advisors. His assertion was evident in another survey finding: only 32% of the high-net-worth investors thought it would be "difficult" for their advisors to achieve their investment goals in the current market, while 59% of advisors said it would be difficult.
Combining those findings with another—that the HNW used the word "knowledge" 71% of the time to describe the benefits of working with an advisor—Clark said while advisors realize that they may need to "work harder" to achieve their clients' investment goals, "what clients want from their advisors is knowledge and advice." He further noted that a much lower percentage, 49%, of investors considered 'investment performance' as a benefit of working with advisors. "The relationships" between advisor and client, Clark argued, "are maturing."
Further, Clark asked rhetorically, "who would have thought that nine out of 10 times advisors would be talking to their clients about Greece and Spain and Ireland, when they're not even investing there?"
He was referring to two other interesting findings: that 92% of advisors said they had talked to their clients about the European debt crisis in the past six months, while advisors saw little change in their plans to invest in international equities in developed countries in both the large- and small-cap variety.
On investing, 41% of advisors said they expected to invest more in large-cap equities over the ensuing six months (compared with 32% in July 2011) and 34% said they expected to invest more in ETFs (compared with 26% last July).
There was one more bit of good news for advisors in the survey. When asked to rank which professionals they had the most trust in, 27% chose their advisor; "my doctor" was chosen by 53%.

The publicist of Lily Collins (The Blind Side) has informed us that the actress is set to play Clary Fray in Scott Charles Stewart's adaptation of Mortal Instruments. The film is based on City of Bones, the first book in Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series. Despite the title, City of Bones is not about a city where everyone exclaims that they're doctors, not some other profession. The young adult novel centers on 15-year-old Clary Fray who witnesses a murder only to discover that she has encountered the "Shadowhunters", a secret tribe of warriors who are on a mission to destroy demons.
Collins will next be seen in Stewart's apocalyptic-vampire-action-horror film Priest and is also set to costar with Taylor Lautner in Abduction. Hit the jump for the synopsis of City of Bones.
Here's the synopsis for City of Bones, the first book in The Mortal Instruments series [via Amazon]:
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder—much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing—not even a smear of blood—to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know…

Who is he?
Katsurou is a tender-hearted and likeable chap who sincerely cares about other people and believes that love is all that matters. He is generally pleasant, cheerful and helpful; although underneath the surface he is actually a rather nervous and anxious character. His restlessness could be manifested as a certain instability or an incessant mobility. He is impressionable with an active imagination, a faculty that provides him with a sanctuary when the going gets tough. Rather vulnerable in the face of life´s harsher realities, he could become withdrawn or attempt to escape by literally « running away », through travel or by throwing himself into more or less anarchic adventures. He is seduced by change, and fantasy is a part of his nature; however he can go through phases of stability and routine where he attempts to get his life in order, followed by others that are characterized by change and soul-searching with an outright refusal of restriction. Katsurou wants to be liked and very much enjoys being Mr Charming, which can mean that he has trouble resisting enticements... He can be weak-willed at times, breaking his own resolutions more often than he would like. Katsurou is a disconcerting man around whom one doesn´t always know how to behave. As a child, he is extremely sensitive and highly strung with a great need for security. It is important for his parents to be present and attentive, and to set certain non-negotiable limits. A firm, but affectionate upbringing is necessary, otherwise he is quite likely to lead a chaotic and unstable existence. It would be a very good idea to encourage him to participate in activities outside of the family home, such as sport for example, which will allow him to develop his sense of solidarity and community.
What does he like?
While he possesses tremendous imagination and loves adventure, Katsurou nevertheless appreciates order and stability, undoubtedly because security is important to him. He loves nature and all animals, including those who walk on their hind legs and use credit cards; which incites him to participate in groups and associations that share the same ideals. In matters of the heart, he is a sentimental and romantic soul, however he has trouble expressing his feelings due to his rather shy nature and the fact that he doesn´t like to wear his heart on his sleeve. He therefore remains secretive and quite enigmatic, to the extent where he often complains that he is misunderstood. He is aware of his vulnerability and tends to protect himself because he is so terribly afraid of getting hurt.
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What does he do?
Because he has such a big heart, Katsurou needs an occupation that will enable him to feel useful to others. He is therefore likely to be drawn to the social, juridical, medical or paramedical domains or any occupation in connection with the public, broadcasting, travel or sales.

Some of the meetings I go to have bad people! They are arrogant and evil; thats the best way to describe them! More importantly! is how I describe myself being around them! Im still wanting their attention because I want to see them as good people that are not accepting me; because thats how I saw my original family when young! I have to wake up and get out of their!
Im slowly starting to wake up and feel the toxic horror of being around these filth! And yet; I want to be accepted by them; and thats the problem!
As I wake up; I realize what Im dealing with; No conscious or shallow conscious to the point of personality disorder; a bunch of them! The question is; I want to be part of them and accepted and I dont know why! I guess I want to be loved by them! and their it is; thats the first dysfunction! ITs like wanting to be loved by my captures! I made a mistake of innocence to be around them in the first place! Im now feeling the pain of being around them! Im expecting them to change and become nice people! They were never nice people to begin with!
Why am I chasing after bad people for; they are like the first family system I came from! Im trying to re create my first family system! And Im sick; and thats whats most important!
As I wake up and feel better about myself; Im mad that Im in a place that these filth have taken over! However, it was their hovel in the first place; not mine; thats what Im having a hard time with!
I have to work with the universe to slowly get me out of their and onto a new life!
