Children will be able to use iPads at stations set up specifically for them, and all patrons will be able to utilize free Wi-Fi and 24 new computers. Another new feature tis self-checkout, giving patrons the option of avoiding lines when checking out items.
Those machines will be a feature in every branch of the Brooklyn Public Library by 2013, allowing staff to spend more time working closely with patrons.
Renovations also include a ramp, entry, elevator and bathrooms that are completely wheelchair accessible.
Although the renovations were extensive, the building, which was built in 1905, maintains much of the original architecture. It was packed with people on Thursday for a re-opening ceremony that included speeches by students from P.S. 39 and a young cellist playing music by the original fireplace.
"We've maintained the historical details of this treasured Carnegie library, all while updating it with new community space and in-demand technology to meet the needs of out patrons," said Linda Johnson, president and CEO of Brooklyn Public Library. "We're thrilled to welcome the Park Slope community back to this beautiful, completely accessible branch."
Prior to the ceremony, Borough President Marty Markowitz made his way to the children's room to view the new technology. He jokingly said that he preferred paper as he sat down on a child-sized stool next to two iPads that were being used by students from P.S. 39.
The students also spoke to the crowd, explaining how important the library is to them and even presented the library with self-published books.
"The Park Slope branch is one of the most ornate Carnegie libraries, and much of its intricate designs are still intact," said David Burney, commissioner of the Department of Design and Construction. "Our goal was to keep what's best about the Park Slope Library by restoring its historical interior, while introducing harmonious, contemporary elements that reflect the needs of a modern library."

Move over Hard Rock café… There's a new sheriff in town, and its name is Rock and Brews! I had the honor of being a VIP guest of both Gene Simmons and his long time friend and band mate Paul Stanley of the world renowned rock band KISS at the ribbon cutting ceremony, and official opening for the new LAX location of Rock and Brews (the first in any airport, with more locations to come). Gene Simmons, the "King of the Tongues" certainly had them all wagging at this fantastic event, right along with his many partners. I was very fortunate to be introduced to Dave Furano, Dell Furano, Michael Zislis (co-owners and founders) and both Deborah and Robert Crews (co-owners at LAX), all of whom we need to tip our glasses of cold Oktoberfest ale to.
Dave and Dell Furano are music merchandising powerhouses, Dave being the former concert tour manager for such acts as the legendary Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and Doors and his brother Dell controlling the music merchandising… i.e., all the stuff we love to buy to show our love for Rock and Roll! Michael Zislis is a hospitality genius. The founder and owner of both Shade hotel, and Rock'n Fish, he knows how to indulge a customer, providing an unparalleled experience in hospitality and comfort. Deborah and Robert Crews, the owners of Crews of California, are the masterminds behind of some of the hottest and most frequented retail stores and restaurants in LAX, such as Lemonade, See's Candies, Klatch Coffee, and The Concert Bar. These winning seven are the reason we will be partying it up both to and from our destinations! Like Rock N Roll itself, this location is very well played indeed.
The food here is amazing, with of course a huge selection of equally amazing draft beers. The favorite munchie seems to be the Fireball burger, a hand formed ground chuck monster. This bad boy is smothered in pepper jack cheese, spicy relish, chipotle aioli, avocado, and fresh tomato, all on a warm soft bun. It just might have you sticking your tongue out, making Gene Simmons very proud. Next on the list would have to be my personal favorite, the Bill Graham BBQ chicken pizza… oh man, this one had me deep in the mosh pit. After tasting it, I tried hard to put the smack down on anyone who got close to taking a slice! It also boasts a hefty list of delicious ingredients including mozzarella and gouda cheese, bbq sauce, fresh cilantro, red onion, and fire-grilled chicken breast. As a self proclaimed foodie, I can honestly tell you that this is one of the best bbq pizzas I have ever had. I think that brings us to the VIP section, where the brews await. I counted 36 different beers on the menu myself; some local favorites include Hangar 24 DIPA, El Segundo White Dog, Beach House Amber, and some rotating faves such as Lost Abbey and Monkish Brewing. Make sure you come and get 'em fast before they go up in flames!
Let's not smash our guitars before we have an encore…aka DESSERT!!! Try the "Purple Rain" drops. These delicious, puffy, golden beignets are filled with chocolate and drizzled with raspberry sauce. Can you say groupie? Or how about the Real beer float? No root, just beer, made with ice cream and Maui Brewing's Coconut Porter. Yum. If that's not a back stage pass, I don't know what is. After mingling with a few guests, and enjoying the ribbon cutting, I was lucky enough to spend a moment alone with Dave Furano. I asked him the one question was dying to know.
Q: "Why a restaurant?"
A: "It's my way of capping off such an amazing career. In LA we are so lucky to have rock and roll and great food every day. I wanted a way to bring it to places like Boise Idaho, and Des Moines Iowa. Places that don't have as much variety, or who don't get to rock out like we do. I wanted to spread my love of good food and rock and roll to the masses."
I'm certain both those cities will be looking forward to their Rock and Brews locations, and they will be proud and lucky to have them. So if you've ever wondered what it would be like to party like a rock star for real, wonder no more. Now you have Rock and Brews. Party hard!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lena from Love it I got the sweater in coral but the color was too bright for me. It looked brighter in live than on monitor. I'd want coral in softer shade. However the fit is perfect, so I exchanged the coral to black and very happy with it!

A Visit to Twenty-Four Blackbirds: Artisan Chocolates from Santa Barbara
In 2010 Mike, his girlfriend Elaine, and his sister Gina started Twenty-Four Blackbirds. At first they all continued to work their full time jobs despite making chocolate well into the wee hours of the morning, but now Mike leads the charge while his collaborators have stepped back into a 'volunteer' work mode and work one day per week for the chocolate company. Mike's background is in marine biology and chemistry (he even spent a few years as an aquarist). His skills in running a well-designed experiment have served him well throughout the chocolate making process. As it turns out, creating a subtly sweet, innocent-looking 1/2 ounce chocolate bar is far from simple.
Twenty-Four Blackbirds chocolate — wrapped simply in kraft paper — comes in at an approachable price point ($2.50 per bar). This is a chocolate bar meant for everyone. (No fancy gold wrappers, pretense and pomp!) Each bar has intense, explosive flavor. Mike is making some of the best chocolate around and he's doing it on his own terms, often building his own equipment, with a lot of experimentation, tinkering and of course, tasting.
The Test Kitchen
The Secret SauceMike's inventiveness and ingenuity set him apart from other chocolate makers. (Although, to be fair, to be in the bean-to-bar chocolate industry, you've got to have a streak of these qualities!) When one step of the husk/nib separation process proves inefficient, he modifies the machine he built himself to add a window to see what's going on and troubleshoot. He constantly experiments, researches, and reaches out to others in the field to hone the best flavor in his chocolate.
The Business Plan
Twenty-Four Blackbirds has grown in an organic, we're-busting-at-the-seams fashion. Every success (and challenge!) necessitates a new approach, different timing, a move-in kitchen or a combination of these factors. The first few batches were sold at local coffee shop The French Press and the small bars flew off the counter. The 1/2 ounce size of the bar is ideal for snacking on with a coffee and a friend, an aspect that sets the product apart.
Mike claims to have had great luck in marketing, but at the core, people love his chocolate because it tastes great, it's affordable and the hand-drawn illustrations of local Santa Barbara blackbirds (all done by Elaine and Mike) make it an irresistible purchase.
Next up? Inviting local artists to help him with the packaging for his next few bars.
6 Quick Questions for Mike
2. The one thing you can't live without?
Always remember to try tasting the same chocolate a few times throughout the day, because whatever you've eaten prior, as well as the temperature of your mouth, will effect what aspects of the chocolate's flavor profile stand out to you.

Dove Men+Care is a skincare range aimed, unsurprisingly, at Men, and focuses on a few core essential products that are supposed to encourage the 'guys' into taking care of their skin. The range is split into types; Sensitive, Hydrate and Revitalise, although one can mix and match as I am sure a lot of people could do with a mixture of the three!
Mr C received a Face Wash, Moisturiser, Post Shave Balm and Shaving Foam to test. They also do a roll on, stick and spray deodorant and a body wash.
To be honest Mr C's skin is dry and a bit sensitive but he also needs revitalising – so if I were choosing for him I'd find it difficult to pick as the differences are not as clear as 'Dry Skin' 'Normal Skin' 'Oily Skin' etc. Mr C said that if he were choosing for himself he would pick 'Revitalise' seeing as we are both sleep deprived! So, this is what Mr C dictated to me…
Packaging – "I liked it actually"
When probed further, he said the Dove Men+Care packaging was a 'nice shade of grey' and 'nice and simple'. I said but what if it was bright pink? Does he even care about the packaging the way girls do? He said actually yes, this was nice and classic and looks 'right' on his side of the shelf.
Face Wash (Sensitive) – "I liked this, it felt refreshing and my face felt better"
Post Shave Balm (Revitalise) – "This didn't sting – it had been 2 weeks since I shaved and my skin is usually quite sore after this period of time and this product didn't hurt and was soothing"
Moisturiser (Revitalise) – "Using this in the morning – my skin feels moisturised for quite some time"
Shaving Foam (Sensitive) – "This was okay really – it foamed up well and stayed on the skin. To be honest though it's like many other foams I've used."
Texture pic:
Ingredients of the balm and moisturiser:
Other comments; "One thing I noticed was there wasn't much scent in any of the products – I do like a certain smell in my products, this one wasn't really distinctive – Nivea for example has a very memorable scent. I'm not saying I hate the fact I don't remember the smell or if there even was one, just that I do like that freshness a cream with a bit of scent has sometimes.
I would go out and buy this range if it wasn't over priced – less than £10 per item. I feel like the range is accessible, every day range – they should've used some gold on it or something if it was supposed to be prestige. Does this product have Q10? " (he really said that).
Shaving Foam:
So after testing these products Mr C would rate the Dove MEN+CARE range 7/10 overall with his favourite product being the Moisturiser. I think his skin is looking softer and better although what we could both do with is some good sleep 😀
Does the man in your life use any special products?

Now Junichi reminds me of those guys who stay at a low managerial job so they can sexually harass the new employees who are too nervous to protest. I cannot imagine how he can possibly recover his respect after this. Even though they seem to think it will all be alright when they reveal that Sae actually enjoys being the bottom, it is clear that Junichi did all this without knowing that. So he is really a bad pervert after all, when the woman does not have the strength (Kaoru) or social status (Haruka) to resist him.
There was plenty of humor in this episode, I particularly enjoyed the talking vending machines. But the behavior of the male protagonist left the whole thing with a bad aftertaste.

I just give Junichi the benefit of the doubt that, at least for this arc, he's far too stupid and/or hypnotized by Sae's chest to realize that he's acting like a dirty old man. What astounds me is that Sae doesn't have the sense to even have the least bit of suspicion as to why her "training" is what it is, even if Junichi does have the best intentions at heart.

After watching the subbed version of the ep, I'm pretty sure that Sae was quite into things throughout; more so than he is (since I'm fairly sure she knows her own feelings towards him more than he does towards her).
Although, I'd be worried about the prospect of her falling for any person who shows a degree of supportiveness towards her; in other timelines, I'd hope she'd find someone who would deserve her affection for their own sake, not simply because they approached her first (for whatever reason).
I was hoping Haruka would have a chance to use the 'Myaa' line when she glomped Miya for reals, though.

He's the stupid one with his training. I sometimes think it would be better if they just made him a pervert, admitting he knows what he is doing instead of coming off like a moron all the time. But if they did that, then the times when he gets serious wouldn't work so well.

The narrator got to me in this episode a bit, last episode he didn't and I found him funny but it killed the mood in a lot of points. D : The bikini DID look like lingerie a lot more than a bikini, I was like whaaaat?
Of course, the whole episode was pretty cute. I guess I just really like and can relate to Sae's personality. It wasn't as great as the previous ep, nowhere near imo. D : I give it a 7.5/10. It was still a nice episode, though, seeing Sae getting more courage. I think Junichi is a bit too perverted though, seriously. I loved the vending machines though, too!
Also I went "what the--" when Haruka showed up. They really feel a need to just make random cameos D; Her's was too random imo, it came out of nowhere. It was kinda funny though.
Excited for next week's ep. o :

Damn the narrator is still there....At least the scene freezes so it's possible to skip over him.
Nice attack on Miya by Haruka though.
Things are moving along for Junichi and Sae. Guess Junichi's odd thinking this time around was the clothing change. What a guy to come up with something like that for "training" .

Episode 10 is full of win!
Lots of epic Sae moments, like the dress up in PE suit+bloomer and swimsuit, the slip out and breast fondling, Sae in bikini, how Sae looks during hot sex etc.
The "imagining people as vending machines" bit was pretty funny too.
Many very good Miya moments as well, especially where she checks out Sae's breasts... After she saw her brother doing it, she obviously couldn't resist anymore to try them out as well
<-- took the opportunity to make myself an avatar off that scene
Junichi also had very slippery phantasies... so much even that his brain shorted out and he swooned

Aside from Comedy though I am enjoy Sae's Arc pretty well so far and I agree with others that she knows what's she doing in this silly training is to spent more time with him.

This was an okay episode. Sae looked killer in that bikini. Didn't know she looked that good. The talking vending machines scene was awesome. Miya was entertaining. I love how she always has meat buns on her mind. She used meat buns as a reference point to how big Sae's boobs were. The narrator was kind of unfunny, but at least he doesn't talk over the characters like a certain other narrator. The footbath scene was pretty funny, with Junichi passing out lol. Overall, a fanservicey episode. I give it a 7/10.
One thing I'm kind of ticked about is how little they show Ai compared to the other non-active girls. And when she does show up, it's her usual 10 second cameo that's over right after it starts. With Sae's arc, I thought we would get to see more of her since they're supposed to be friends, but it's all Miya so far. Anyway, that's enough venting. I know her arc is only 3 weeks away, but I would like to see her a bit more .

I'm taking back everything I've said before. This arc has turned out to be not only bearable but also quite enjoyable. However, not as a romantic arc, but as a pure laughing matter. The very start of this episode where Sae talks to the vending machine left me speechless and only after a while was I able to burst out laughing. Thinking of people as vending machines was very funny, too. And I thought to have seen everything when Mio in K-ON thought of the audience as potatoes.
The breast fondling scene and particularly its consequent scene was a win. That expression of Miya's was simply priceless. I wouldn't want to rile her up like that.
Morishima-senpa~i!! Brilliant! Every random scene with Morishima-senpai is just so lovely. I wouldn't mind becoming her assault target.
Sae looked damn sexy in those bikinis. I guess they decided to come out with a front attack in Sae's arc to make up for her lack of individual extravagance. Well, I'm not saying that talking to vending machines is something ordinary, hell not. But the erotic picture of Sae makes a great contrast to her shy personality.
Am I the only one who thinks that Sae knows very well that Junichi's training is just sexual abuse, which might not be of any help for her? Actually, I suppose that Sae enjoys those odd activities with sexual note, and that she plays around with him in her own passive way. After all, it was clearly expressed at the end of the episode that she harbors some feelings for Junichi.
By the way, did anyone else think that the monster in Junichi's delusion, who dragged Sae away, was Junichi's vision of Miya? She might have assumed a devil face after seeing Junichi staring at moaning Sae, and she decided to tug her to safety out of Junichi's reach.

While i found the narrator rather amusing the first time around and didn't think much of him past that, after watching this ep it is dawning on me why they deemed it needed to have him in here - to help offset the fact this arc is bordering on sexual harassment and Junichi basically taking advantage of a shy and insecure girl at times by injecting some "outside humor" in to it, with it being funny being secondary to providing these interventions in the first place.
Seriously, my opinion of Junichi is at a all-time low, and that is putting it mildly. Extremely frustrated is how i felt for the most of this episode, watching him spew random nonsense he has put zero thought in and comes up with on the fly under the pretense of "training", because he has finally found someone who takes it for granted (Or rather ignores it not making sense because she, by some astronomical chance, likes being around this fellow) thus allowing himself feel superior. Seriously, the guy is in love with the sound of himself talking high and mighty too much.
While it was obvious since the start that this guy's a pervert, the issue wasn't nearly this bad in Haruka's arc (where he basically was the puppy begging for attention), nor in Kaoru's arc (where she could easily "trade punches" with him so to speak). Here, it is coming out full force, and it really seems to me Sae's arc is bringing out the worst in Junichi. Considering this is all supposed to be a setup for the eventual romance, i can't say it is working for me, because the only feeling i get is that he shouldn't be allowed to touch her even with a ten feet pole.
I would probably find it highly amusing if Sae's apparently "protective papa" would find out what Junichi has been up to and have Junichi receive some outside input on his "training".

- How to create and delete MeshObjects (ie. nodes)
- How to relate them to each other (ie. edges)
It follows the FirstStep example, except that MeshWorld is a web application, while FirstStep is a command-line application. There'll be more to come.

Quaker Mini Delights
Quaker takes the health halo of rice cakes, adds other grains and drizzles it with chocolate to create Mini Delights.
Multigrain snack products have increased in the past few years. They appear to be riding the change in USDA's Dietary Guidelines in 2005, which recommends three or more servings of whole grains a day.
But note all multigrain products contain whole grains. Whole grains include the fibrous bran along with the vitamin- and mineral-rich germ. Multigrain simply means it contains several types of grains. However, consumers see the word "multigrain" on food packages and believe these products are healthful.
Quaker Oats has had rice cakes in its portfolio for almost 20 years. With the trend for more grain interest, it makes sense Quaker considered how to add value to its rice cakes through the addition of a variety of grains, not just rice. Understanding the world of weight management snacks, Quaker folks surely were concerned that consumers needed snacks that were healthy and tasted really good.
We at the Understanding and Insight Group took a second look at this unassuming product because of the very clever product design. We feel Quaker created more than just a snack cake. These mini snack cakes give the same taste and mouthfeel experience of a popular and familiar (and competitive) fudge stripe shortbread cookie. Whether intentional or not, Quaker created a cookie experience in a 90-calorie rice cake snack. Now, that got our attention. And this multigrain snack does contain whole grains.
Understanding the marketplace
Sales of healthy snack foods in the U.S. grew from $13.7 billion in 2002 to $14.7 billion in 2004, an increase of nearly 7 percent, according to Mintel's 2005 Healthy Snacking report. Consumers eat a lot of snacks: 75 percent of people snack at least once a day, according to the American Dietetic Assn. (2000), and these snacks supply 23-25 percent of the average consumer's total daily calorie intake. So the healthfulness of the snack has become important.
Healthy snacks have gained shelf space in grocery stores and convenience stores. They are an expected product in a grocery aisle, not just a product that can only be purchased at a health food store.
In the healthy snack category there are four major competitors: Kraft, General Mills, Kellogg and PepsiCo. Each has a broad product portfolio that covers multiple food categories. These companies account for nearly half (48 percent) of all healthy snack sales.
The most popular foods eaten as healthy snacks are fresh fruit, raw vegetables and nuts/dried fruit/ trail mix. All of these have whole food healthfulness in common. This makes it difficult for the more processed snacks to earn a healthy halo.
When choosing healthy snacks, consumers look for a health-related benefit, which many times reflects lowered fat, all natural, whole grains, portion control, high fiber or moderation in sodium. These benefits are the most recent variation on what "healthy" means.
One of the perceived gaps for healthy snacks is that they do not always taste as good as regular snacks. This continues to be a leverageable opportunity for snack food manufacturers. For a food to be craveable, it must not only have a great flavor but also a great texture. A complex flavor (multiple tastes) and a simple or moderately complex texture drives craveablity, according to our own Crave It! studies. Mini Delights Chocolatey Drizzle understands this and delivers a snacking experience that rivals a chocolate shortbread cookie.
Key: Creating a product to fill a new space requires knowing the attributes the consumer will use as a frame of reference. When this knowledge is used along with key trends in the snacking market, manufacturers stand a better chance of creating a product that consumers will understand and therefore may be motivated to purchase.
Insights: Quaker Mini Delights are aimed at women who are managing their weight. The Quaker brand promises healthiness. The location (next to rice cakes) promises this is helping you manage your weight. Quaker was able to leverage this brand heritage along with the gap of good tasting healthy snacks to create Mini Delights.
Our Crave It! and Healthy You! Insights find flavor, texture, baked and healthy ingredients are the key factors that suggest healthfulness in snacks. For cookies, texture complexity (difference between the chocolate and the base), flavor and bite size along with brand can impact craveability.
Quaker has merged healthy snacks and cookies to create a product with textural complexity, flavor impact that is baked, a healthy halo from a well-known brand and a flavor echo from another popular brand.
Key trends in the snacking area are convenience, flavors and healthfulness.
Convenience: On-the-go packaging is critical to fit consumers' busy lives and to help them deal with a need for a snack when they are away from their preferred food choices.
Flavors: Rice snacks have focused periodically over the years on either a few lead flavors -- e.g., buttery, cheese, original/plain -- or more trendy flavors, such as caramel corn and jalapeno cheddar. Having multigrains to deliver a more rounded-out flavor than the rice cake base allows the form to deliver more taste experiences. Creating analogs of cravable snacks enables consumers to have a great tasting snack and get their cravings satisfied for the moment.
Healthfulness: An overall industry focus on trying to reduce obesity combined with consumer behavior for snacking equates to an intense industry desire to provide snacks that are healthier. This includes the type and amount of fat, composition of all of the carbohydrates and looking at both the calorie and sodium levels. Many consumers are also seeking the "cleanest" ingredient statements they can find.

Furness or Fourness - Halifax UK
My great grandfather John/James/Smith Furness emigrated to NZ in 1841/42 along with three others (presumably relatives) all recorded under the name Furniss. Previous researcher(s) have identified his parents as William & Hannah Fourness. However the 1841 UK census does not include any of these 6 individuals under any of the names Fourness, Furniss or Furness. How do I solve this riddle? Where do the William/Hannah names come from?
Introduction: Looking for FURNESS in New Zealand
My name is John Brian FURNESS. I was born in Christchurch NZ on 11 Sep 1953. I lived most of my life in Auckland NZ, but an currently in Manchester, UK
My father was John PERCY FURNESS born in Auckland NZ 17 June 1923, son of my Grandfather's second wife
My Grandfather was Arthur Frederick FURNESS born in Wellington, NZ in 1878
My Great Grandfather was John FURNESS born in Wellington, NZ 17 Nov 1856, but died in Sydney, Australia
My Great Great Grandfather was Smith Furness (b 9 Oct 1824) who emmigrated from Halifax, UK to Wellington on the Birman.
I would like to work out my family connections within New Zealand - including the (presumed) relatives of Smith who also travelled on the Birman. It would be interesting to discover some contemporary relatives in UK.
I would be interested to hear from people with relevant information.

I know they gave him his own room so that they could get more sleep so I know they are ignoring his cries at night for the sake of there own sleep. I do know I have stood my ground over and over with him when it comes to our kids. He will give up or learn to leave it alone since I wont give in to CIO or giving formula when my breasts work just fine and I am just way to lazy to do all the work that comes with formula hahahaha

Symantec terminates CEO Steve Bennett
NEW YORK (AP) — Security software maker Symantec fired President and CEO Steve Bennett's employment and named director Michael Brown as his temporary replacement.
It's the second time in less than two years that Symantec has fired its CEO. Bennett became president and CEO in July 2012, when Enrique Salem was fired after three years in charge of the company. The Mountain View, California, company behind Norton Antivirus software did not cite a precise reason for Bennett's ouster Thursday.
"This considered decision was the result of an ongoing deliberative process, and not precipitated by any event or impropriety," Symantec Chairman Dan Schulman said in a press release.
Symantec Corp. shares fell $1.43, or 6.8 percent, to $19.48 in after-hours trading. The stock is trading near 52-week lows and is down about 15 percent over the past year.
Symantec has been going through a reorganization that includes cutting executive and middle-management jobs, splitting its sales force and focusing on the most promising products.
The company backed its outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter, which ends this month.
Brown, who is temporarily taking over as CEO, has been on Symantec's board since July 2005. He is the former chairman and CEO of data backup company Quantum Corp.
Bennett, meanwhile, has resigned from Symantec's board.

It's good to be a Goodspeed Musicals member.
Members get to see private readings/workshops at the two theaters (Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam; Norma Terris Theatre in Chester).
Like the new musical in development "Tuck," based in the 2002 Disney film "Tuck Everlasting."The film starred Alexis Bledel, Jonathan Jackson, Sissay Spacek and William Hurt. Jay Russell directed the film.
The film was based on the popular 1975 young person's novel by by Natalie Babbitt, about a young woman who meets and falls in love with a young man who is from a family of immortals.
What makes the Goodspeed presentation special is that the creative force behind the project is the Tony award winner Casey Nicholaw, who directed and choreographed the Broadway smash hit, "Book of Mormon." He does similar duties for this new show which has a book by Claudia Shear.
The workshop takes place Nov. 28 to Dec. 10.
Contact Goodspeed on how to become a member and when the reading/workshop will take place, most likely the Norma Terris Theatre.

Caitlin & Caitlin's Interior Design Workspace
Name: Caitlin Murray & Caitlin McCarthy, interior designers and co-founders of Caitlin & Caitlin Design Co.
Location: Downtown Los Angeles, California
Size: 300 square feet
Years in business: 3 months
You may remember Caitlin Murray and Caitlin McCarthy from their personal house tours a while back. They are both interior designers and close friends, so when they decided that the corporate world wasn't the right fit for them, they partnered up to realize their dream of opening their own interior design business.
Their first project as a new business — tackle their own office space. Since they didn't have any big jobs yet money was very tight, so they had to make do with furnishings they already had and cute finds from the flea market. They were also under a tight deadline to get the space decorated so they could focus on getting their business off the ground and securing the first few clients.
From the looks of Caitlin & Caitlin's newly designed workspace, it looks like they are off to a great start. Wishing them the best of luck in securing their first client!
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style:
It can be described as a mesh of chic, modern and vintage elements infused with color, pattern and texture. We're drawn to design that feels layered, lush and lively.
It sort of just came together as a mix of pieces we already had and others we brought in one by one. The downtown backdrop definitely helps set an urban, industrial vibe.
Favorite Element:
We love the huge windows paired with the white paint and concrete because they create a clean, blank canvas. This neutral setting allows us to add any element we want, so the office continues to change and evolve.
Biggest Challenge:
It's a tiny space, so we had to be strategic about what we included. Editing was imperative in this case.
What Friends Say:
That it reflects our personalities — the bright, poppy colors match our gregarious, enthusiastic energy.
Biggest Embarrassment:
Sometimes it can get a bit chaotic… and messy!
Proudest DIY:
We would have to say the hand renderings we create — does that even count?
Biggest Indulgence:
Just having an office!
Best Advice:
Don't overthink it. A shared creative space is like a living organism. It's a reflection of our combined personal style, which is never stagnant.
Dream Sources:
1st Dibs
Resources of Note:
We don't have any appliances in our office, except a Keurig coffee maker!
We have a big white gloss cabinet from Ikea that stores everything administrative. Functionality is key. We have two Panton chairs from Room Service and a wingback chair that was found at a garage sale! Our desk is a very basic modern white desk from Craigslist.
Flea market finds (Pasadena Rose Bowl, Fairfax, and Long Beach are our favorites), West Elm notepads, and miniature chairs from Japanese website reac JAPAN. Our sunburst mirror is from Two's Company.
The chandelier and lamp were poor abandoned pieces we rescued and gave a little TLC.
We love the old original concrete floors in the historic downtown LA building that our office is in.
The rug in our office is from West Elm.
Very simple roll shades.
Caitlin McCarthy did the paintings in our office.
Thanks, Caitlin & Caitlin!

County official charged in probe
Deputy exec Quinn accused in prescription drug case
Albany County Deputy Executive Christine Quinn was arrested Tuesday on charges she convinced a local nurse practitioner to give her up to hundreds of extra Ritalin pills — even though her prescription had already been filled, according to court documents and law enforcement officials.
Quinn, 35, who earns $106,869 a year as the deputy to County Executive Daniel McCoy and is a member of the Albany Convention Center Authority, has been suspended with pay following her arrest.
The investigation was headed by the Department of Health's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, which BNE Director Terence O'Leary called "a coordinated investigation" in keeping with a prescription drug reform law signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
According to a complaint filed in Colonie, Quinn is accused of telling a nurse in March that a Ritalin prescription filled earlier this year did not have the full 84-day supply. But authorities allege the prescription had been filled. Ritalin is a controlled substance that's most commonly used to treat children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and is also a known stimulant with addictive qualities.
Quinn's arrest is among the first since the state started a database to track prescriptions to try to unearth possible abuse.
"Sadly, we stand here today talking about a member of our Albany County family who has allegedly fallen victim to the lure of prescription medications," County Executive Dan McCoy wrote in an internal email Tuesday afternoon to department heads and county officials.
Quinn was charged with a felony count of attempted drug possession and a misdemeanor count of fraud.
Quinn was arraigned Tuesday in Colonie Town Court and released without bail by Justice Andrew Sommers, who refused to allow cameras inside. The court clerk's office also declined to release a copy of a law enforcement officer's affidavit that was filed with the court and gave additional details about the investigation.
The judge ordered Quinn released without bail at the request of her attorney, Michael P. McDermott, who told the judge that prosecutors did not oppose his client's release.
The judge told Quinn to immediately report to the county probation department and warned her that conditions of her release may include drug testing.
McCoy and District Attorney David Soares held a joint news conference to discuss the arrest.
"I have no reason to believe the integrity of our office or Albany County government has been compromised," McCoy told reporters.
He also said he saw no signs of drug use by Quinn.
"There's nothing I caught on to," he said, noting he works closely with Quinn.
Soares' girlfriend, Stacy Quackenbush, was hired by McCoy's administration in 2012. Soares employs Kimberly McCoy, the sister of the county executive, as an investigator. Soares said his office became involved in the case last week following a referral from the Department of Health's BNE unit.
"That referral involved a person who is very known and, truth be told, very near and dear to all of us here who've had the pleasure of working with her over the years in county government — Miss Christine Quinn," Soares told reporters.
Soares said he would not recuse his office from the case. "On what basis?" he said when asked if he would step aside for a special prosecutor.
When pressed about his reference to Quinn as "near and dear," Soares said his office engages in a "dispassionate" review of facts, adding: "There is one standard of law that is applicable to every person in this county."
A Soares spokesman later said prosecuting the case is no different than the office's prosecution of police officers who have worked with prosecutors.
Soares declined to speculate on what type of sentence Quinn may face if convicted.
"This is a person who engaged in this behavior with no collateral crime, which are factors that are usually taken in when we are talking about actual criminal liability and exposure," he said. "We're taking this case very seriously but also we're treading very slowly as this is a case of first impression."
Quinn, an attorney, has served as McCoy's second in command since July 2012.

Let the breeze ring this gong for you; it's a great pick-me-up.
Some believe that touching a gong will bring you fortune and strength. We can't guarantee that, but our affordable wind gong will certainly bring you pleasure every time you hear it ringing in the wind.Chinese instrument makers have made gongs for thousands of years and are deserving of their reputation of making the best in the world. Many processes go into creating the special sound of a Chinese Gong, including fine toning as a result of hand-hammering.In Buddhism, the gong is sounded at the start and end of each day. In Chinese temples, gongs are struck 108 times because it's believed that sentient beings have 108 types of worries. The teaching is this - upon hearing the gong, worries will cease, wisdom will grow.Nothing has the ability to transport us to another time and place quite like the brilliant resonance of a gong. For over a thousand years, gongs of various types have played an important role in both the religious and secular music of many Asian cultures. Gongs were sounded to chase away evil spirits, warn of invading armies, heal the sick and invoke the spirits of the dead. To be touched by a gong was said to bring happiness and strength. Today, this revered instrument of warriors, emperors, princes and priests adds a special aura to any setting. Handcrafted using traditional methods, Woodstock Gongs bring the ancient wonders of the Far East home.This chime is designed to hang from a string loop, rather than an o-ring.

-Purpose: To develop and evaluate an intervention designed to improve consistent contraceptive use and dual method use in particular, among female sex workers (FSWs) in Rift Valley Province in Kenya.
Design: A qualitative descriptive study will be conducted to develop the intervention. A quasi-experimental, non-randomized, two-group, pre-/post-intervention design will be used to evaluate the intervention.
Study Population: FSWs living in Naivasha, Gilgil, and Nanyuki, Rift Valley Province.
Study Duration: Phase I - 3 months Phase II - 12 months Objectives: Develop an intervention designed to increase contraceptive use among FSWs by incorporating formative data and behavioral theory and by involving the target audience and service providers in the development of the intervention.
Examine the effectiveness of the intervention at increasing non-barrier modern contraceptive use and dual method use among FSWs.
Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, on the parts of both the clients (FSW) and service providers.
Estimate the unit cost to provide these services to one client. Study Site: Rift Valley Province, Kenya

|Behavioral: Lifestyle Counseling Other: Standard Health Services
|Not Applicable
The goal of this study is to develop and evaluate a theory-based intervention that could be incorporated into routine health services to improve the sexual and reproductive health of women who engage in sex work if demonstrated to be effective. To accomplish this goal, the study will be conducted in two phases. During the first phase of the study, FSWs and service providers in the study sites will assist in the design of the intervention, in an effort to increase the likelihood that it will be accepted, feasible, and effective. Brief formative research will be conducted with FSWs and service providers, followed by working group meetings with self-selected FSWs, service providers, and GSKenya representatives who will review data and work with study investigators and/or their designees to design the intervention. During the second phase of this study, the intervention will be implemented and evaluated.
The study is planned for two sites within Rift Valley Province, Kenya. The first "site" is comprised of two adjacent towns, Naivasha and Gilgil. The town of Nanyuki will serve as the second site.
Based on findings from the formative phase of this study, and on observations and feedback from providers, a package of enhancements to the current package of services delivered to FSW will be implemented and evaluated.
- Family Planning (FP) Messaging for peer educators and informational materials material - Peer educators will be trained using existing materials to deliver accurate messaging on FP/dual method use, during individual encounters and in group sessions.
- Screening for unmet FP need in drop-in centers - Integration of FP needs screening in the service delivery points will increase the number of FSW accessing FP. This will be done through sensitization of service providers and provision of a brief job aid that can be used to screening clients for unmet need, including unmet need for dual method use.
- Providers FP counseling job aid - The AIDS, Population and Health Integrated Assistance (APHIA) Plus project will adapt the existing Balanced Counseling Strategy Plus: A Toolkit for Family Planning Service Providers Working in High HIV/Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Prevalence Settings for providers to use within the context of the DICs and in referral sites in the catchment area.
- Commodities - increasing method mix - The methods that will be available to all women attending services at the DIC will be expanded. In addition to the current oral contraceptive pills, DMPA, male and female condoms, both the intra-uterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) and implants will be added to the mix of methods available.
Hours of DIC operation - Based on findings from the formative phase of the study, the hours of operation for DICs will be extended into the late evening hours to accommodate the schedules of FSW.

Screening for unmet FP need in DICs Providing job aids to FP counselors Expanding FP methods with intra-uterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) and implants Time change in DIC hours of operation
- Dual Method Contraceptive Use [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Dual method use is the use of a non-condom modern method in the past month plus reported use of a condom (male or female) at last sex with both paying and non-paying partner (if applicable).
- Acceptability and Feasibility among providers [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Provider acceptability is a measure of the proportion of providers at baseline and post-intervention who are strongly in favor of providing FP services to FSWs in other DICs in Kenya and the proportion of providers who are satisfied with the training and support they received to provide FP services.
Feasibility is a measure of the proportion of providers at baseline and post-intervention who agree or strongly agree that the FP needs of FSWs receiving services at the DIC are met. In addition, there will be a measure of the proportion of providers who report that they did not have to turn a FSW client away because they were too busy or they did not have the supplies they needed.
- Acceptability and feasibility of intervention among Clients [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Client acceptability will be measured by the proportion of clients post-intervention reporting that they are satisfied or very satisfied with the services they received at the DIC and from Peer Educators, as well as a comparison of reported service convenience and satisfaction with DIC services.
Feasibility will be measured among clients who reported receiving FP methods or services from the DIC and we will compare reported service convenience and satisfaction with DIC services at baseline and post-intervention
- Acceptability and feasibility of Intervention among Peer Educators (PE) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Acceptability is a measure of the the proportion of PEs who are satisfied with the training and support they received to provide FP education and counseling to FSWs in the intervention site at 6 months post-intervention and the proportion of PEs reporting satisfaction with their work and motivation to perform their responsibilities as a PE.
Feasibility is the proportion of PEs reporting that they found their responsibilities as a PE easily manageable and would choose to be a PE again.

Edna not only put herself out in public, but she documented herself every step of the way. A conversation with an attorney became a newspaper column in four-part harmony. Poor guy. He admitted that voting might be okay for Edna, but not for his wife. He wouldn't let her vote. And so on. See the entire exchange. Edna Kearns made the point that politics must be the concern of women. See her piece about how politics resides within each baby.

Reading the newspapers recently, we've been struck by how similar the presidential debate commentary has been to commentary about "Monday Night Football."
After the matchups in this year's "debate season," political pundits criticized President Obama's "prevent defense" and "two-yard runs down the middle." They talked about how Mitt Romney "spiked the football."
And football wasn't the only sports metaphor invoked in the coverage. On Tuesday, "CBS This Morning's" ticker about the previous night's debate read "Final Face-Off," while ABC's "Good Morning America" heralded the "Final Debate Duel." And the Los Angeles Times headlined with "Obama reverses roles, comes out swinging at Romney in final debate."
PHOTOS: Six numbers to ignore from the presidential campaign
Zero-sum, take-no-prisoners sports talk has not just seeped into our political talk; it dominates it. The post-debate discussion, on TV and in our homes, was more likely to focus on which side won the 140-character Tweet fight than on the deeper values, priorities and visions articulated by the candidates.

Sorry no time to comment at length but the letter speaks for itself. My favourite is engaging the concept of ze nehene v'ze loi chosar -one enjoys and another is not put at loss- for this purpose. Which side of the mechitze will be enjoying themselves? Surely the inability of husbands to 'signal and gesture to their wives' Go- forbid, must be a loss of some kind. One can just imagine the scene. He gets warmed up at Anim Zemiroth singing about locks, black and wavy and winks skywards, she nods in dissent and he continues shockling into his siddur, 'Shith hamon shirai no olecho…'
You must however commend the writer for his honesty. Rather than try on rely on pseudo-halachic arguments as with the eiruv, to which this rabbi is opposed, he gives it to you as it is. Those half goyim in Beis Yisroel and Or Chodosh with 'United Synagogue Rabbis', well you know what that implies, have 'superior' divides and how can we be seen to be inferior. So to the barricades, members, or in this case mechitzos.
Divided we stand and United we fall and long may we continue on this upward spiral. Omein!

Travis Releford scored 12 points and No. 3 Kansas held off No. 11 Kansas State down the stretch for a 59-55 victory Tuesday night that gave the Jayhawks sole possession of first place in the Big 12.
Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey added 11 points each for the Jayhawks (17-1, 5-0), who pushed their nation-leading winning streak to 16 games -- matching the third-longest under coach Bill Self -- and ended the Wildcats' 12-game home winning streak.
Shane Southwell, who scored a career-high 19 points, got Kansas State (15-3, 4-1) within 56-53 with a scooping layup with 38.2 seconds left. But after Naadir Tharpe made two foul shots to restore a five-point lead, the Wildcats' Rodney McGruder misfired from beyond the arc at the other end.
McLemore was fouled and missed his free throw, and McGruder made two to get Kansas State within 58-55 with 5 seconds left. But Elijah Johnson's free throw put the game away.
McGruder finished with 13 points and Angel Rodriguez had 12, all in the first half, as the Wildcats lost for the 45th time in 48 games against their bitter in-state rival.
Kansas State had its own eight-game winning streak snapped.
The atmosphere was amped long before the opening tip. Students on their first day back from winter break lined up for several hundred yards in freezing temperatures, and then flooded seats on one side of the building more than 2 hours before the game started.
The Jayhawks, undaunted by the pulsating crowd, methodically built a 16-8 lead midway through the first half. Kansas took advantage of some balky outside shooting by the Wildcats, and routinely beat them off the dribble at the other end for easy baskets around the rim.
McLemore picked up his second foul of the half with 9:22 left, though, and Kansas State went on a run with the Jayhawks' leading scorer on the bench. Martavious Irving started the 11-2 spurt with a scooping layup and Southwell ended it with a 3-pointer from the wing that gave Kansas State a 19-18 lead and forced Self to call a timeout.
It served to settle down the senior-laden Jayhawks.
Perry Ellis scored a couple of baskets around a shot clock-beating jumper by Tharpe to help Kansas retake the lead, and Kevin Young's putback off his own miss made it 31-27 at halftime.
McGruder, shadowed everywhere by Releford, only managed two points on a soaring jam just before halftime. He missed both of his outside shots as the Wildcats went 4 for 16 from the arc.
The Big 12's reigning player of the week finally hit a 3 to start the second half, but Kansas answered with eight straight points, including a dunk by Withey off a feed from Young that forced Kansas State coach Bruce Weber to burn his first timeout of the half.
McGruder hit consecutive 3s later in the half to help keep the Wildcats close, but a 3 from the corner by McLemore and then an open jumper by the freshman with 6:50 to go gave the Jayhawks a 53-43 lead, the first time the margin had reached double figures all game.
Southwell shot the Wildcats back in it, hitting a jumper with 8:13 remaining and then consecutive 3-pointers -- his fourth and fifth of the game -- to make it 54-49 with 5:30 remaining.

The African American abolitionist and activist Henry Highland Garnet (1815-1882) was a religious man. And on this day, he was raising Hell.
Garnet was all of 27 years old when, in August of 1843, he addressed the National Negro Convention in Buffalo, New York. The meeting was part of the decades long National Negro Convention Movement, in which northern free blacks met to discuss strategies for achieving racial equality and civil rights for freemen in the North, and emancipation and liberty for enslaved blacks in the South. These discussions often centered on the benefits of using "moral suasion versus political action" – that is, whether or not blacks and whites should use moral persuasion to convince American society to end racial prejudice, or, engage in direct political action to gain liberty and equality for people of African descent. (The influential white abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison was among those who eschewed political activism.)
Garnet had a much more radical approach to the problems of those in bondage. The son of a fugitive slave (one source indicates his grandfather was a Mandingo warrior prince), the youthful Garnet and his family were always fearful of being taken by slave catchers; his father once made a narrow escape from slave hunters, and his sister was taken into slavery for a time. His life experiences may have made him more open to solutions that went beyond suasion and politics, because in August of 1843, Garnet was openly calling for a slave rebellion.
Garnet's speech was not just some angry rant. He grew up in New York City, with acquaintances such as Alexander Crummell, Samuel Ringgold Ward, James McCune Smith, Ira Aldridge, and Charles Reason, men who are among a who's who of early 19th century northern black leaders. He attended a free school in New York, and sailed on ships to Cuba as a cabin boy. He had theological training and served as a Presbyterian pastor. Garnet was educated and worldly, and his speech reflected that, with references to pride in African heritage, slavery policy in the colonial and Revolutionary War eras, and the global context of abolitionism. This was in addition to his speech's major themes that slavery was anti-Christian, and resistance to slavery pro-Christian; and that manhood and honor dictated that (male) slaves use "every means" necessary to liberate themselves.
It's probably too much to say that in tone, Garnet sounded to his contemporaries like Malcolm X did to his. But Garnet's righteous and religious anger, and his open call for manhood-based armed resistance, was surely uncomfortable to the more pacifist natures of current day black and white abolitionists. Fellow convention attendee Frederick Douglass, who was associated with William Lloyd Garrison, made a rebuttal to Garnet's speech; unfortunately, Douglass' speech did not survive for us to read it today.
An abridged version of Garnet's speech is below. More about Garnet can be found here, here, and here. More about Garnet's speech is here, here, and here (full text).
(Notes: The phrase "Rather Die Freemen, Than Live to be Slaves" is used on the flag of the 3rd Regiment, United States Colored Infantry. The phrase "let your motto be resistance" is the title of a book and an exhibit of African American portraits.)
This is an abridged version of Garnet's speech to the 1843 National Negro Convention, which is often referred to as his "Address to the Slaves":
BRETHREN AND FELLOW CITIZENS: Your Brethren of the North, East, and West have been accustomed to meet together in National Conventions, to sympathize with each Other, and to weep over your unhappy condition. In these meetings we have addressed all classes of the free, but we have never until this time, sent a word of consolation and advice to you. We have been contented in sitting still and mourning over your sorrows, earnestly hoping that before this day your sacred liberty would have been restored. But, we have hoped in vain. Years have rolled on, and tens of thousands have been borne on streams of blood and tears, to the shores of eternity. While you have been oppressed, we have also been partakers with you; nor can we be free while you are enslaved. We, therefore, write to you as being bound with you. Continue reading

I thought the post game mini-interview with Tony Romo, after the MNF game, was a good look into the guys self.
The chicky interviewing him asked him about his 4 interviews, and he said something like "It was four? I thought it was something like 7 or something!".
He didn't really need to give the defense credit because the other guys defense scored all their points!
It was still a classy move on his part.
