Your holiday baking (or eating!) might not be complete without these traditional Spritz cookies. This is my first year making the buttery cookies and I am hooked!
A kind friend brought me a beautiful plate of Spritz cookies last Christmas. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness that I wanted to pass on that same holiday cheer this year. While you could use a pastry bag and star icing tip to get a similar effect, the cookie press gadget is the key to these precisely shaped cookies.
From flowers to hearts to pumpkins to butterflies, these shapes are going to be used year-round. Buy the cookie press for less than $20 and you'll have years of baking Spritz cookies ahead of you.
I tried the basic vanilla cookie dough recipe and the surprise ingredient, for me anyway, was cardamom. I didn't have that spice in my pantry and was curious to try it. What a delicate difference it makes!
You can decorate the cookies with sprinkles, add food coloring to the dough, or ice them once cooled, but they are just as pretty plain. The cookie press makes fast work of the process and you can even switch shapes as you go. And if you think making these cookies is a breeze, eating them is even easier!Print
Spritz Cookies
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 4 dozen
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, cardamom and salt with the electric mixer.
- Now with a spoon stir in the flour until well mixed.
- Roll the dough into a log-like shape so that it will fit into the cookie press. Pack it in the tube tightly. Choose your design and begin pressing the dough out by clicking just once on the cookie press. Fit about 12 cookies to a baking sheet. I used parchment, though the instructions state that an ungreased baking sheet is best and that no parchment is necessary.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes then cool on a rack.
This recipe can be found in the Kuhn Rikon company's Cookie Press Instruction booklet

The San Diego Superior Court has extended the application deadline for a spot on the 2013-2014 grand jury to Jan. 25.
More than 100 applications have been received by court officials, but they would like to increase the number of applicants by at least 40 more county residents.
Nineteen men and women sit on the San Diego County Grand Jury.
"With the busy holiday season, many people who are interested in participating in this important program lose sight of the deadline and may think they have missed the chance to take part," said Michael Roddy, executive officer of the San Diego Superior Court. "We hope by moving the deadline, we can give these people a chance to put their names into the selection process."
The grand jury investigates citizen complaints and performs its traditional function as a "watchdog" over government agencies. It does not conduct criminal investigations.
Applications are now available by telephone at 619-450-7272 or in person at the San Diego Superior Court in the jury services office at the Central (downtown) branch, and the jury lounges at the North, South and East branches of the court.
Interested applicants may also download an application from the San Diego Superior Court's website at www.sdcourts.ca.gov or the grand jury's website at www.sdcounty.ca.gov/grandjury.
The grand jury works four days a week, approximately six hours a day, from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014, at the Hall of Justice located in downtown San Diego. A small stipend per day, plus mileage, and downtown parking are provided.
Qualified candidates will be nominated for a random drawing tentatively scheduled for June 7, 2013. The random drawing gives each supervisorial district equal representation by population.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old, have sufficient knowledge of the English language and have lived in the county for one year prior to selection. All candidates will be required to pass a criminal background check. Individuals meeting the above requirements are encouraged to apply.

WEST .LIBERTY, lOfiAN COUNTY, OHIO, SATURDAY, APRIL 20. 1861 NO. 26- I A LAWYER'S ADVENTUEE. Aiiou't' tfhree or four years neo, more or less, ifliile I ¥;bs practising law in Illinois, on apret- tj large eirc'iait, I wa.s called on one dav by a very pretty woman, who, not withoat tears, told !iie that'ker husband had been arrested for hoise siealing. She wished to retain me on the de- fSKB. I asked her why she did not go to Judge t,, ex-Senator of the United States, whose of¬ lice was in that town. I told her tliat I was a young man at the bar, &c. She mournfully 'said tliat he had asked a retaining fee beyond lier means ; besides, he did not want to touch the case, for her husband w<r-&s, suspected of be¬ longing te an esrtensive %and of hoi'se-thievts, \vii6,se'he£;<S q'uai^ters were €-n Moore's prairie.— ia.sk'e(5'I:i(?r'to teli'i>ae the whole truth of tine mat- tei", f.nd if it 'was trvie that her husband 'did be¬ long to suoh a, band. "Ah, sir," said she, "a feetter man a;t heart tkn my *G-eorge never lived, but he liked cards and firin'k, and I am afraid they made him do what he T.ever would have done if he had not drank. I fear it can be proved that he had the liorsc; he didn't steal it; another stole it and passed it to him." IdWn'tMke the case. I knew there was a ;:reat dislike to the gang located where she nam- eil, and feared to risk the, case before a .jury.— ^liessemed to observe my intention to refuse ;he case, and burst into tears. 1 BGver could s«e -a woman v> cep without feel- :!!:;;libs a weak fool myself. If it hadn't been s brightened by " pearly tears," (blast the po- that made them come into fashion ,• praising them !) I'd never been caught in the Ksoaf aiatrimony. My would-be client was "xttf. The handkerchief that hid her stream- :i eyes didn't hide her ripe lips ; and her snow}' ):;oiu rose and fell like a white gull in a gale of V, ind at sea. I took the case and she gave me iiie particulars. Tifee gang of which he was not a member had persuaded him to take the horee. He knew iliat it was stolen, and, like a fool, acknowledged It wiien he was arrested: Worse still, ho had trimmed the horse's mane and tail to alter its sjipearatwe, and the oj.positi&5i could prov(||it. Tiie trial came on. I worked hard to get a iiry of ignorant men who had more heart than lirains; who, if they could not fathom the Jcpths ofarguiment or follow the labarynthine mazes of law, 'Could feel for a yoiiog fellovv in a !fid fix, a weeping pretty wife, nearly heart bro¬ ken, and quite distracted. Knowing the use of "effect," I told her to dress indeepmourning, and bring her little cherub of !iboy,'3inly three years old, into court, and' set js near her husband as the olBxjers would let b', I tried that game once in a murder case, md a weeping wife and sister made a jury ren¬ der a verdict against law, evidence, and the Judge's charge, and saved a fellow that ought to ije Imng as high as Haman. The prosecution opened very bitterly, and in¬ veighed against thieves and counterfeiters, who liiid made the land a terror to strangers and iravelers, and who had robbed eveiy farmer in i!ie region of his finest horses. It introduced a ivitness, and proved more than I fe-ared it would. The time came for me to rise in tfee defense.— Witness, I had none. But I d'etermined to make an effort, only hoping so to interest the jury ;isto secure a recommendation to gubernatorial tlemency and light .sentence. Sa I painted his picture. A young man en¬ tering into life, wedded to an angel; beautiful a person, possessing every noble and gentle, at- •ribute. Temptation lay before and all around .im. He kept a tavern. Guests, there were ;iany; it was not for him to enquire their bu- -mess; they dressed well, made large bills, and isid promptly ; at an unguarded hour, when he ;vasinsane with liquor, they urged upon him ; :ie deviated from the path of rectitude. The .ernon alcohol reigned in his brain, and it was :ii,s first offence. Mercy pleaded for another liance to save him from ruin ; Justice did not :equire that his young wife should go downsor- ;o\ving to the grave,, and that the shadow and taunt of a felon father should cross tho path of that sweet child. Oh, how earnestly did I plead fir them ! The woman wept; the husband did the same ; the jury looked melting. If I could Ijave had the closing speech, he would have been .:leaved ; but the prosecution had the close, and tiiiew ice on the fire I had kindled. Bul they did not put it quite out. The .fudge charged according to law and ev¬ idence ; but evidently leaned on the side ofmer- •y. The jury found a verdict of guilty, but >:naniffiously recommended the prispner tQ tho taercy of the court. My client was sentenced to the shortest iffiprisoRment the Court was em¬ powered to give, and both jury and court signed •fe, petition to the ''Goverhor for an unconditional pa^'don, which has since been granted, but not before the following incident occurred: Some three months after this, I received an account for collectioli from a wholesale house in New York. Thfe parties to collect from were hard ones; but they had property, and before they had-a?? idea of the trap laid, il had the prop¬ erty, which thev Vere altout to assign before they broke, under attachment. Finding I was a neck ahead and bound to win, they "caved in" and forked fever $3,794:,18, (per memorandum book) in good moRpy. Thej' lived in Shawnee town, about thirty-five or forty miles south-east of Moore's prairie. 1 received the funds just af¬ ter the banli opened, but other business detaihe'd me till aftet dinner. 1 then started for C-^'^-^"-, intending to go as far as the village of Mosnt Vernon that night. I had gone along ten or twelve miles when I noticed a splendid team of two horses attached to a Kght wagon, in which were seated four men, evidently'Off tike high strung order. They sw^pt past me as if to show how easily they could do it. They shortened in and allowed me to come U!p with them,and hailing me, asked me to "wet,^' or in other words, diminish the jug of old rye they fead a.board, but I excused myself, with t^e plea that I had plenty on board. They ask^ed me how far I was .going. I lold them as far as Mount Vernon, if my horse didn't tire out.— They m'etntioned a pleasant tavern ten or twelte j miles sliead as a 5iice stopping place, and then | drove os. j I did not like the looks of those fellows nor i their actions. But I was bound to ,go ahead. I had a brace o'f revolvers and a nice knife '; my money was not fa a vahse tai&er my sulkey, but in my belt arouwd my bod^y. I drove slow in hopes they v-ouM go on ^nA I shomld see them no more. It was nearlj^ dank when I saw the tavern sign ahead. At tho same time I saw their wagon standing before the door. I would have passed "on but vnj horse needed rest. I hauled up a^d a woman ¦came to the door. She turned as pale as a sheet when she saw me.--- »She did not speak, but with a meaning look she put her finger on her lips, and beckoned me in. She was the wife of my client. When I eetered., the party lecognized me, and hailed me as an old traveling friend,and asked me to drink. I respectfully but firmly declined to do so. " But 3''ou shall drink or fight !" said the nois¬ iest of the party. "J«st as you please ; drink I shall not!" I said, purposely shoving the butc of a Colt, which kicks six times in nipid succession. The others interposed, and very easily quited my opponent. One offered me 'a ciger, which I should not have received, but a glance of the I woman induced me to accept it. She advanced and proffered me a light, and in doing so, slipped a note into my hand, which she must have written the moment liefore. iNever shall I for¬ get the words—they vere— " Beware ; they aremembers of the gaug.— They mean to rob and murder you. Leave soon , I will manage to detain them." I did not feel comforable just then., but tried to look so. " Have you any room to put up my horse ?" I a.sked, turning to the VToman. " A¥hat, are you not g»ing on to-TiJght?" ask¬ ed one of the men—"we ire." " ii>[o !'•' said I, " I shall stay heP3 to-night." " We'll all stay, then, [ guess, and make a night of it," said one of ths cut-t}iroats. " You will have to put ip vou r own horse— here is a lantern," said the worn an. " I am used to that," I'said. " Gentlemen, excuse me, I will join you ia a drink when I oome in." " Good on your head ! ?JI,ore, whiskey, old gal," shouted they. I went out and glanced at thc;ir wagon; it was old fashioned, and "linch-jiMs" secured the wheels. I^o take out my li dfe and pry one from the fore and hind whe-el;, was but tlie work of a moment, and I threw th an into the dark¬ ness as far as I could. To ratie my horse and dash off was but the wor); of an instant. The road lay down a steep hi'.L 1 tutaiy lantern light¬ ed me somewhat. I had hardly got under liill lead way, when I heard a yell from the P'artj I hxi so unceremo- nioasly left. I put ',vhi.|} to ny horse. The next moment they stfirted. il lirew my light away and kft my horse to pici h\^ way. A 1 moment lailfif I hear I a crash—-ahorriMe shriek. The wheels came off. Then came the rash of the horses, tearing along with a wreck of the' wagon. Finally they seemed to fetch up in the woods. One or two shrieks I heard as I swept on, leaving them far behind. For some time I hurried riiy horse—you'd better believe " I rid." It was a httle after midnight when I got to iJ/Il. Vernon. The next day I heard that Moore's prairie team had run away, and two men out of four had been so badly hurt that their lives had been de¬ spaired of; but I did not cry. My clients got the money ; but I don't travel that road any more. THE WAS COMMENCED. WHAT .f\ BRECKIKBIDGE PAPER THINKS OjP' I'HE CBIS18. OuK telegraphic columns to-day willbe found to contain matter of all absorbing interest.— The rebel army has opened fire upon iE^ort Sum¬ ter, and civil war has been in augurated by the act of the drunken minions of JelF Davis and his Slave Oligarchy. The hour for political speculation and com¬ promise policy has passed. Things have assum¬ ed a definite shape. Civil war is upon us, and it is now the business of the Government to pursue such a course as will most speedily and most efiectualiy silence ihe traitors and re-es¬ tablish the supremacy of law and order. All squeamish sentimentality should be discarded, and bloody vengeance wreaked upon the heads ofthe conterapible traitors who have provoked it by their dastardly impertinence and rebellious acts. No quarters should be shown to rebels, and traitors shcald hang. The dispatches received during the night, con¬ sidering that the telegraph office at Charleston is in the hands of the enemy, are encouraging.— What may arrive this morning and afternoon we await ¦u-ith impatience, but with a firm reli¬ ance on t]je God of battles and the loyalty of Anderson, and his men. Whet her or notSumter falls into the hands of the enemy, treason must be quelled. It would be looked upon as the work of a special Provi¬ dence were Anderson to sustain himself for any considable time against the combined rebel for¬ ce i. But if such interposition is to be had, all gjod men will anticipate it on the side of Liber- 'i'Y, as arrayed against Slavery. :}: -.H * :i! * * * President Lincoln is called upon by the pop¬ ular voice to pursue a determined course—a course that will most speedily and most effect¬ ually silence the vile traitors who would convert the land of the free into a chattel mart, and the Goddess of Liberty into an ohgarchic harlot. It is too late now to consider plans of pacific poli¬ cy. The rebels have opened the batteries of the B'ederal Government upon a loyal garrison, and for this flagrant outrage and insult there is no punishment known to the annals of warfare too summary or severe. Let the people understand that we have a Qovernment, by at once wiping out this Southern rebellion, though it cost ten thousand patriot lives. There are twenty mil¬ lions in the United States who are oppo:5edto the institution of Negrc Slavery,and as the aiia and intention ofthe secession movement is to le¬ galise and extend that institutio.i, and event¬ ually to re-open the African Slave trade, these people will be found steady and anxious to as¬ sist the Administration in any effort to stay the march of so damnable an enterprise. Men \tho t*oierated Slavery as a compromise necessary to the Union of the States, will not be found pandering to the base appetites of a South¬ ern Oligarchy, and it is necessary that Cottort- dom be taught this trath. Where there is no Liberty there can be kq> Democracy, aad the great Democratic party which established and has maintained the Union ot these States thus taught to reverence Jefferson,and worship AVash- ington as the Father of his Country. It is too late Hov/' to enquire who or what caused the war. It \% or ought to be, sufficient to kno vr that Y/ar exists, and by the act of a band of rebels and traitors. The Government is assail¬ ed, and its stability and power threatened by an,- unscrupulous faction. The issue is bet wee a Freedom and Slavery, and^ thus joined, who Ja so base a coward as dare doubt the result ?— Columbus Fad. far, will be found as a rallying around the uiaer haaded down to a seuoration who are THE PESSIDEHT'S PKOCLAMATIOi^.

Does Google Have A Patent Problem... Or Does The Patent System Have A Google Problem?
from the oddities dept
The numbers are pretty consistent, really.
Anyway, Google's patent policy is getting some attention as it's announced that it's bidding on Nortel's patents almost entirely as an attempt to keep them out of the hands of patent trolls. As we noted last year, all that's left of Nortel is a big patent portfolio, which we expected to end up with Intellectual Ventures or some other patent troll. However, Google is hoping to step in and explained its reasoning, noting that it would prefer real patent reform, but it recognizes that it may need to buy this portfolio as a defensive move to keep it from getting sued and hopes that it allows greater innovation.
Amazingly, patent supporters are interpreting this as being Google having to "catch up" on "patent ownership," as if the company has made a huge mistake in not going patent crazy in its early years. That entire article seems to take the position that not patenting everything was a "mistake" on Google's part, rather than a recognition that patents aren't necessary for innovation, and actually may be a hindrance to innovation. Now that Google is being pushed to shell out close to a billion dollars just to get some patents it doesn't really seem to want or need, shouldn't that be evidence that the patent system has a Google problem, in that Google didn't (and doesn't) really need patents to innovate, rather than Google having a patent problem?

Gorgeous Eco-Friendly Wallpaper from Madison and Grow
Like a fresh coat of paint, wallpaper does more to transform a room than almost anything else. But the thought of slapping a bunch of paper and toxic glue on the wall doesn't necessarily gel with our eco-minded endeavors. Thankfully there are wallpaper manufacturers that are providing stylish, beautiful options that are eco-friendly to boot! Madison and Grow is one such company.
Madison and Grow's line of wallpaper takes inspiration from the botanical and geometric patterns found in nature. The designs are hand-drawn before being scanned in for pre-press production. Screens are created and each roll is hand silkscreened using water based ink. The papers are clay coated for extra durability and can be wiped clean with a damp sponge, and the manufacturing process emits no VOC's. In addition, all of their papers are manufactured from responsibly sourced and elemental chlorine free fiber and all suppliers adhere to one of the globally recognized responsible forestry or chain of custody programs, including the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC), the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), the Programme for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification (PEFC), and the Canadian Standards Association.
Dimensions are 27' wide x 15' long, and prices start at $150.
Individual 16x27 samples can be ordered through their website for $15, and full collection sample sets can be ordered for $55.

Ep1 is the only game completely free of magical influences, at least until the clock strikes twelve.
It could very well be the only true reality, and everything after it is simply Beato's way of helping Battler understand the truth, in her own, twisted way.
Effectively, I mean that everything after Ep1 is, in fact, inside the Magic World/Meta-World, not in the Real World.
So, I have two questions:
1) How are we supposed to get our happy ending if everyone is dead? I mean, the witch might be able to bring them all back into the real world if she gets enough people to believe in her, but I know most people here would be pretty pissed with that kind of ending..
2) ...Do you guys think Ep1 actually counts as a "game", for the purposes of analyzing the red text?

2. Even tho there weren't any red text from Ep1, there are many which applies back into Ep1. It can still be used to analyze the red text. Rather, looking back into ep1 with the new red text, we can see many things there weren't questionable when ep1 first came out (ie. Nanjo claiming he was playing chess with Kinzo on Oct 4th). Again, "Truth from the future beats truth from the past" by Bernkestal.

What regrets did he have from his life?
What was his sin?
What is he truly searching for?
2) I view episode 1 as the only real game and the other games as worlds where Beatrice is trying to show Battler something.
The enemy (Bernkastel/Lambda) may try tactics to confuse Battler during these games (Ange).

Just before I work my ass off translating, is there anyone working on translating the theory/speculation page from the Umineco wiki? I just felt that alot of the theories that are out on this board are repeats of old ideas, and there are always people who wants to see other theories.
If no one is working on it, it would serve as a thing for me to work on before ep5 comes out :eh:

A while back, I said that even if Battler proves that there's no magic involved, it's not really going to keep his whole family from getting killed by whoever the non-witch culprit is. It's not like the killer would stop just because Battler shows them that witches don't exist, right? It's completely irrelevant if they're not supernatural.
Consequently, I'm pretty sure that "prove no magic was involved" isn't going to be the real ending, and I think to prevent the tragedy, one way or another, Battler will end up allowing for the existence of magic.

I've tried thinking of a way to deny the Meta-world before, but then, I'd have to deny the red text as well, and if I do that, I'd lose almost all of my footing on the story. At the same time, I like the meta-world characters far better than the real-world ones. In fact, I'm not particularly fond of the latter.
For now, I'm regarding the Meta-world as Freddy Krueger's dream world (but with hot witches, ass neechans, goats, and Bros).
But, anyway, I've also theorised the possibility of a 3rd Beatrice (as in, one after the one Rosa saw die) existing. But, all the same, Genji said Beatrice died back then, and the boat's captain told Ange he was told not to deliver anything else to Kuwadorian 20 years before 1986. However, there are other points that have kept me wondering about the possibility of this 3rd Beatrice, like Beato saying she "remained" in the island after the "homunculus" one died; also Kyrie's impression of the Beatrice she saw was that of a woman in her 20s (which matches the time gap after Rosa's Beatrice died, and before the events in Rokkenjima), and there's also the girl in Beato's dream, who talked about this grandfather (Kinzo, I assume), but the Beatrice Rosa met said she regarded Kinzo as a father (well, she could always have grown to think of him as such).

For my second question, I was more trying to get at something else:
Does Ep1 count as a "game" for the purposes of the following red text?
Is there anything to disprove this? Is this too far-fetched?

I'd simply assume the author wouldn't resort to such lame trickery and that the meaning of the text are written in a very straight forward, precise, unambiguous manner, such that there can be no misunderstanding, contradiction, or multi-interpretations. Multiple times red texts are used to reinforce the straight-forward interpretations of prior red texts, as battler has asked to clarify word meaning as to ensure no such trickery exists. I can't think of an instance where the red text's obvious interpretation by any audience was compromised to mean something very different.
I think Ryukishi07 knows his logic well...

Kinzo was pissed off when Rosa named Maria, and it's probably because her name somehow compromises his riddle--either by creating a red herring, or by actually making it easier. By drawing attention to that kanji, it could be the latter.

Most of the red text/truth is subjective in regards to the person who says it... and a few lines could definitely be twisted in certain ways.
In Umineko, nothing is straightforward...

The S&P 500 will hit 1550 this year after an initial bumpy ride in the first half of the year, Chad Morganlander, Portfolio Manager at Stifel Nicolaus predicted Wednesday.
"It'll be a bumpy ride for the first half of the year – we expect U.S. GDP to be around 2 percent but it will be dead in the water for the first quarter to second quarter and then re-emerge once capital spending kicks in and the housing market improves. We should see a return of around 7 to 8 percent in the United States based on S&P earnings of $105 for 2013,"Morganlander said.
Global equity markets kicked off the New Year sharply higher triggered by the eleventh hour deal reached on New Year's' day which averted a series of automatic spending cuts and tax rises taking place.
The Dow has risen 7 percent since the start of the year and the first week of the year saw the S&P 500 close at its highest level in five years to 1,466 last Friday.
Morganlander said investors should keep their eyes on technology stocks including Apple and Cisco as well as other big blue chips such as Wal-Mart as potential strong performers in the coming months.
"These are all very cheap companies and should help you to ride out turbulent times and get some upside if we hit the price target of 1550 on the S&P," he said.
Goldman Sachs also suggests the S&P 500 could see a healthy march higher this year. Goldman said it expects a stable first quarter for the index but then a rise to 1575 before the year is out.
"Three events will likely constrain S&P 500 from advancing beyond its current 3 percent year-to-date rise until the end of the first quarter: debt ceiling; resolution of the 'sequester'; and fourth quarter earnings season. However, a strengthening U.S. economy, rising earnings, and modest starting valuation should lift the index to a new all-time high of 1575 by end-2013, reflecting a gain of 8 percent," the note said.
The upcoming earnings season which launched on Tuesday with Alcoa, the largest U.S. aluminium producer and Dow component and which is seen as a bellwether and indicative of the health of the global economy delivered numbers hitting its earnings target, will likely be keenly watched by Wall Street.

[This review from the Monitor's archives first ran on Sept. 23, 1999.] J.K. Rowling's books about a young wizard-in-training have become so popular that reviewing them is almost beside the point. But for those who haven't yet met Harry Potter, you're in for a great friendship.
Rowling has described the series as one very long story divided up for the reader's conven-ience. That level of continuous thought shows in the way it has so far avoided the plot holes that sequels frequently tumble into.
All the books follow Harry's school year: summer vacation with his dreadful Aunt and Uncle Dursley, followed by a little back-to-school shopping, for wands and whatnot. Then it's off to school, where he swats down sneering snob Draco Malfoy, plays a little Quidditch, does more than a bit of homework, and solves the mystery of what evil is stalking Hogwarts in time for vacation.
This time, it's Sirius Black, a murderous prisoner who escaped and is reportedly after Harry. But Harry can't help thinking the Dementors sent to capture him are far more scary than any archcriminal could be. (Younger children are likely to agree - they're pretty nasty.)
What's so impressive is how Rowling continues to delight - and fool - the reader within her strict schedule. This third book improves on its predecessors, adding a layer of symbolism to an adventure so nonstop that I sat up until 3 a.m. frantically turning pages.
As Harry and his comrades Ron and Hermione grow up, so do their adventures. The third delves deeper into Harry's father's past and the nature of justice, while providing plenty of momentum for the next book.

|Shiin Clan
|Appears in
|Clan Data
The Shiin Clan was a small shinobi clan from the Land of the Rice Fields,[1] where Orochimaru established the Land of Sound. Despite their size, they had high ideals. After Otogakure was founded, all the skilled members joined Otogakure. But when the requests from the daimyō stopped coming, their leader lost his reason to live and set sight for a gold mine. He and the clan members attacked the village next to the mine, but something went wrong and the clan members began killing the villagers. Menma panicked and tried to escape, but ended up falling off a cliff and losing his memory. He was later saved by Naruto.
The members had a special tattoo on the right upper arm, with the appearance of a purple band circling the arm three times. The tattoo was only visible when the wearer was perspiring.

The Raspberry Pi has inspired a flock of competitors. Among them are the A13-OLinuXino, which you can purchase here for 45 euros. It comes with an A13 Cortex A8 processor at 1GHz, 3D Mali400 GPU, 512 MB RAM, and complete set of ports. Video is VGA. It ships Android 4.0 but also runs various Linux distros. You might also check out the $49US Cubieboard here and the UG802 for $89US here. And there's the MK802 micro-PC, a USB-sized device priced at $74US that runs Android 4.0, Ubuntu, Debian, and other distros. The tiny single-board computer has come of age.

July 18, 19 & 20
Jefferson Transportation and Visitor Center (305 E. Austin)
The musical satire on American society is set in 1958. The story was inspired by the phenomenon of Elvis Presley and his draft notice in the Army. The rock star character's name, "Conrad Birdie" was a word play on the name Conway Twitty, best remembered today for his long career as a country music star, but in the late 1950s, he was Presley's rock and roll rival.
Performances are July 18, 19 and 20 at 7:30 and July 20 at 2pm. Tickets are $17 and available either at the door, in Jefferson at Lafayette Gallery (123 N. Polk), Roys Rails (602 N. Polk), Fashion & Art Revival (115 E. Austin) or online at Etxpa.org or 925-366-7360.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Nvidia Corp. shares retreated Monday after the company got an early jump on the Consumer Electronics Show Sunday night, unveiling a new mobile application processor as well as its first consumer device — a hand-held gaming console.
More events from several big companies are set to get under way Monday at CES, the annual trade convention in Las Vegas. These will include Nvidia's top rivals such as Intel Corp., Qualcomm Inc. and Advanced Micro Devices.

True Blood: Season Four (US - BD RA)
Gabe goes to Bon Temps to hang out with all the pretty supernatual people...
To truly enjoy True Blood I need to take it at its face value. It's trash, it knows it's trash, and it's proud to be trash. It's a shameless harlequin romance, an unabashedly gory horror story, an audaciously tawdry soap opera, and it cherry picks other genre stories without even so much as a wink to its audience. It isn't thoughtful or challenging like Mad Men or Breaking Bad, it isn't as unique (to television) or epic as Game of Thrones, and whenever it tries to be socially and politically relevant it's especially awkward, but damn it, it's a barrel of fun. You can try to insult something this tongue-waggingly pulpy a hard-R take on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer or even Twilight formulas (we'll ignore the publishing dates), but you might as well be screaming at a wall, because sometimes some of us just want a hard-R take on a familiar formulas. The first season works as a world and character building experience, and as a standalone murder mystery. The second season wasn't as tightly knit, but was a better and more unique story overall. The third season had high points, but was a disappointing experience overall. The new season begins somewhere between Dr. Who and Fairytale Theater, with lead protagonist Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) escaping the fairy realm (yes, really) only to discover her brief time away kept her missing from Bon Temps, Louisiana for an entire year. Given the fact that the third season saw so many of the series' core concepts growing old I was all for a massive change of pace, but of course knew this wouldn't last. Quickly we're back to the status quo. The 'year away' gimmick isn't a bad idea, and throws us into the action without requiring us to recall exactly what happened over a year ago in real time, but it's also clearly a gimmick, and leads to some really awkward expositional dialogue.
The nicest thing I can say about the show altogether (not just this season) is that I still don't hate Sookie Stackhouse, aka: The Deus Ex Machina Doll. She regularly embodies the worst aspects of a textbook 'Mary Sue', and is regularly treated as a perpetual damsel in distress, both tropes I've grown to despise thanks to popular young adult fiction. But Sookie is something different, she's aware of her perpetual victim hood, she comments on it, and she's generally likable enough that her optimism is usually pleasant. It's easy and trendy to compare Sookie to Twilight's weak and meaningless Bella, but the comparison is also plenty apt, enough that a sizable essay could be written comparing and contrasting the characters, and their impact on their female audiences. It's also easy to downplay the value of Anna Paquin's thoroughly consistent performance, but she does great things with a pretty thankless, Luke Skywalker/Frodo Baggins, infallible hero role. Sure, she rests on her sexuality a lot (there's a whole lot of nudity this season), but it doesn't define her character or performance.
The other character that is regularly enjoyable (if not 'likeable' due to his actions) is Eric Northman. This may be because, like Sookie, Eric doesn't really change a lot throughout the first three seasons, and it might have even more to do with Alexander Skarsgård inescapable charisma, but there's also a lot of love put into the character, and a concentrated sense that he and Sookie were being led somewhere interesting and new for the fourth season. By episode three Eric is basically rebooted into a childlike state, which is a pretty damn big change, and I think that it works, even though I can perfectly understand other fans finding the whole thing a little too precious. Without this particular gimmick Sookie and Eric's budding affection for one another would probably be more hard earned, but with it the turn makes more sense. I found myself missing the old, witty, cruel Eric, and the paperback romance sex scenes (which I understand are an important part of the formula) are usually more silly than sexy, but the change-up is appreciated, and generally makes Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) a stronger character in the process. I was warned I wouldn't like him as a human supporting vampire king, but I find myself mostly enjoying the turn and the way it connects him to the strongest through element of the season. It's also good to learn about Bill's still mysterious past, which works to build the core mythology, and it's fantastic to get a break his usual simpering mess of guilt shtick.
The character that has most challenged my affections throughout the series is Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten). His character is defined by his simplicity, and he works well in ensemble situations, but his sexual misadventures continue to gum up the works. The writers make a valiant and creative attempt at punishing him for his transgressions early on, but it just leads to more goofy puppy dog faces until they finally pair him off with Bill's progeny Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll). Jessica is another personal favourite, and I was really expecting to enjoy her new home life with her human boyfriend Hoyt (Jim Parrack) following a touching road to romance in previous season. I knew, of course, that their happiness wouldn't last, but I wasn't expecting their romantic strife to be so boring. The dimming of their 'honeymoon' period is so predictable I had assumed that the writers would just bypass it out of boredom, yet they keep going through the motions. Hoyt loses almost all his charm in the process, turning into a puddle of sadness, but Jessica is still a reasonably likable character, especially when interacting with Bill or Jason. And speaking of progeny, the one character that exponentially improves with every season is Eric's progeny Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten), who is handed the keys to Eric's small kingdom while he and Sookie hang out. She spends a great deal of the season in various states of rot after a nasty spell is cast on her, and doesn't have a chance to be a pseudo hero, but is a strong source of comic relief.
Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) were among my personal favourites throughout the first and most of the second season, but both turned into perpetual damsels in distress in season three. It seems that of all the major characters they are the two that the writers have the biggest problems with. Apparently Lafayette doesn't survive this long in the books, so it's understandable that the show's staff would have trouble finding places for him in their version of Charlaine Harris' story, but I can't imagine what led them to crap all over Tara. If I was Rutina Wesley, I may have quit the series after reading the monotonous Debbie Downer plans for the character throughout the third season. The torrent of kicks to the crotch she endures verges on parody, like Griffin Dunne in After Hours, only she reacts in the most contentious and cantankerous manner possible. Things don't get much better for her this season, but she at least reacts in a nominally amusing fashion. Lafayette gets an interesting character turn here, and a genuine romantic relationship, one of the least condescending gay male relationships I've ever seen on television, but he and Jesus (Kevin Alejandro) are largely wasted throughout the fourth season. In the end they come full circle, and it's obvious there was thought put into their development since the end of season three, but their side-trips slow the narrative momentum more than Tara's dull, but brief 'adventures'.
Season three suffered from its lack of a strong central villain, especially following the second season and its two-tier antagonistic threat. Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare) was a great character, but wasn't really an effectively established threat until more than halfway through the season. Marnie Stonebrook is a unique threat for the series because she's both genuinely threatening and understandably fragile. She and the ancient spirit named Antonia Gavilán de Logroño that possesses her have every reason in the world to fear and hate vampires, making their/her plight understandable despite the fact that we're consistently rooting against her. Actress Fiona Shaw expertly balances the threat and fragility of Marnie, and never approaches the character without the show's patented sense of humour.
The show's male Mary Sue, Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), has become a total bore as his character goes to darker places. If I could request one subplot be entirely removed from the series it would be Sam's relationship with his family. They worked well enough for season three, but are a huge and repetitive waste of time here. There's no growth in the relationship between Sam and his younger brother Tommy (Marshall Allman), and no good reason to continue exploring the same emotional battles over and over again. Sam's new romantic relationship works fine, and actually introduces an enjoyable changeling to the series in Luna, but in the end this story just connects to the blandest side plot of the entire season. My 'no care' list is obviously topped by Tommy, but also includes the entire race of creatures known as werewolves. I enjoy Harris' take on werewolves (they're generally redneck biker types, and cast like a bunch of Sons of Anarchy rejects), but as people they're easily the least interesting thing the series has to offer. They're basically the series' Klingons – they're cool-looking, and make great Halloween costumes, but they are boring when they aren't treated as supporting characters and given free narrative reign. I like Alcide (Joe Manganiello) alone plenty, but the story momentum is driven to a halt any time we cut to his problems sans-Sookie.
In preparation for this review I mainlined the entirety of the first three seasons via standard definition DVD. I got so used to the look of 480i/p that this upgrade to full 1080p is a pleasant surprise for me. True Blood is shot on traditional 35mm film, and makes good use of the format's intrinsic grain levels. The show's general stylistic pattern is pin-pointed focal points, and the juxtaposition of colour during day and night. The focus pull keeps detail levels in the fore or middle ground, revealing plenty of fine texture and complicated patterns, but not a whole lot in the way of wide angle background elements. The soft backgrounds blend well enough despite the obvious film grain artefacts, but there are some issues with haloes along the sharper foreground elements as they sit apart from the out of focus stuff. The daylight sequences feature plenty of high contrast shadows and beautiful black levels, but really stand apart from the night time sequences in terms of hue warmth and vibrancy. Colours are particularly rich when lush, green plants are present. Dark sequences often feature warm pops, and a handful of barroom scenes are bathed entirely in red, but in general the vampire's world is defined by soft pin lights, and cool colours. The blacks are more consistent here (daylight scenes have grayish background blacks), and the generally desaturated hues feature sizably more grain than the warmer colours, but the grain is no thicker. Outside of the edge haloes, which are definitely noticeable and thicker than I'd expect from the material, only minor sharpening effects and moiré noise create any issues here.
True Blood doesn't quite make my list of television essentials, but it may have the best sound design on television right now, especially considering Lost has run its course. I was expecting a big leap in quality from DVD to Blu-ray in video, but I underestimated the wide difference between Dolby Digital and DTS-HD Master Audio. I watched this season with all the aural motifs well in mind, and was really surprised with how different these sounds are when better mixed and less compressed. The whoosh of off-screen vampire running goes from a silly whistle to a full-on sonic boom, and the zipping sound that follows is much more intricate in terms of directional cues. Scenes involving big drama witchcraft, which usually also feature fire effects and multiple chanting footage, are particularly fun in terms of surround and directional involvement, as are the big, booming fairy-powered energy blasts. The season finale gets a special boost of magic noises that feature booming bass impact and sound swaddling. At this point I'm also willing to count True Blood fifth in television music supervision behind House, Deadwood, Breaking Bad and Mad Men. The show has many problems, but finding pitch-perfect end title music is not among them.
Extras begin with a series of cast and crew commentaries. Disc one features commentary on episode two, You Smell Like Dinner, with actors Stephen Moyer and Deborah Ann Woll, and writer/co-executive producer Brian Buckner. Disc two features commentary on episode three, If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin'? with actress Anna Paquin and creator/executive producer Alan Ball, and episode four, I'm Alive and on Fire, with actor Alexander Skarsgård and director Michael Lehmann. Disc three features commentary on episode six, I Wish I was the Moon, with writer/co-executive producer Raelle Tucker, and executive producer Gregg Fienberg. Disc four features commentary on episode nine, Let's Get Out of Here with actor Sam Trammell and director Romeo Tirone, and episode ten, Burning Down the House with actress Fiona Shaw, writer/co-executive producer Nancy Oliver and director Lesli Linka Glatter. There are no commentaries on the fifth disc. These tracks are often charming, but uneven, and I'm pretty sure I didn't learn anything about the production outside of a few amusing personal anecdotes.
Every episode features an 'Enhanced Viewing Mode', which include picture-in-picture 'Character Perspective' (back story on what happened between seasons) and 'Flashback/Flash Forward', and basic pop up facts concerning bio and episode information. The option was a little buggy on my system. Each episode also has a matching Inside The Episodes featurette option. These generally average between three and five minutes, and feature cast and crew members discussing the ins and outs of the show's ongoing narrative. I'm assuming these are made available to people that order the show via iTunes or something, because I get something similar with my Mad Men season pass. These aren't exactly in-depth, but do offer something extra for fans.
Disc five continues with True Blood: The Final Touches (28:30, HD), a post production roundtable featuring creator/executive producers Alan Ball and Gregg Fienberg, colourist Scott Klein, music supervisor Gary Calamar, editor Louise Innes, post-production producer Bruce Dunn, composer Nathan Barr, effects supervisor Jon Massey and sound designer John Benson. Discussion includes the practical and digital effects, sound effects design, source music and composed music, sound and film editing, and digital grading. The interviews are intercut with behind the scenes footage, series footage, and comparison effects footage. True Blood Line is an interactive series family tree of sorts, featuring categories for human, vampire, shapeshifter, werewolf, witch, werepanther, faerie and miscellaneous character types. It's text-based, and features brief write-ups on each major and supporting character. Those not interested in navigating based on type have an alphabetical index option to choose from.
There's a big part of me that wishes I didn't like True Blood as much as I do, but it scratches a specific itch, and this fourth season is, in my passing fan opinion, an upgrade over the sloppy third season. I understand this may not be a popular opinion. HBO meets their relatively high expectations with this Blu-ray release, producing a sharp and colourful 1080p picture, an immersive and aggressive DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack, and a decent collection of extras. I could've done with an interactive, in-episode experience on an episode, like the one on the recent Game of Thrones release, but the commentary tracks fill the space pretty well.

the blu-rays consist of the usual 5 discs with the usual set up. they just shoved all the episodes for SD onto two, two sided dvds.

^Yes. And like most HBO shows there's no rhyme or reason to how many episodes appear on each disc of the Blu-rays. Some have 2, some have 4. I don't understand, especially since there's not a lot of extras outside the final disc.

We are pleased to be offering this giclee print of the original. This print is from a series of prints, "Chinoiseries". According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Chinoiserie is a French term, signifying "Chinese-esque" and refers to a recurring theme in European artistic styles since the seventeenth century, which reflect Chinese artistic influences. It is characterized by the use of fanciful imagery of an imaginary China, by asymmetry in format and whimsical contrasts of scale, and by the attempts to imitate Chinese porcelain and the use of lacquerlike materials and decoration. The prints incorporate design elements from the decorative arts and are inspired by the fanciful Chinoiserie designs of the 18th century Frenchman, Jean Pillement. This giclee, The Architect, is available in two sizes and comes unframed. Large Giclee is 13 " x 19 " and Small Giclee is 8 1/4" x 11 1/2". Giclee prints have rapidly become a major presence in the world of fine art printing, joining the ranks of limited edition lithography and serigraphy. Of these three printing methods, the giclee process has gained considerable popularity very rapidly for two significant reasons. First, the giclee process can replicate work in either water base or oil mediums on such a wide variety of paper and canvas, and with such subtlety, that it often becomes almost impossible to distinguish the print from the original. Second, the nature of giclee printing allows artists to print as little as one print at a time, unlike either lithography or serigraphy, making it an economically accessible process to many artists, who would otherwise be unable to reproduce their work. At the same time, that economic benefit can be directly passed on to the buyer of a giclee. The appearance of a giclee print in terms of depth, color and texture cannot be surpassed by either lithography or serigraphy, if in fact it can be equaled. This giclee was printed with a particular concern to conform to the highest possible standards available. It was printed on an Iris ink jet printer, widely considered by professional printers to produce the best giclee prints. For the purpose of printing giclees, the Iris printer is the most expensive equipment of its kind in the industry. This work of art has been individually inspected, signed and numbered by the artist, and includes a dated and signed certificate of authenticity. It was produced on 285 gram Hahnemuhle inkjet watercolor paper, which is 100% acid free, with lysonic inks. The texture of the paper very closely resembles the watercolor paper on which the original was painted, and is bright white to maximize the saturation and clarity of the colors. It has been sprayed with an archival acrylic coating, which helps to protect the print, and serves as a UV inhibitor. Accelerated tests have indicated that these giclees will last 28 to 32 years before any fading might be detected, if handled properly. This type of longevity compares very favorably with that of original work on paper in a variety of other mediums, and certainly with most other printing methods. This giclee print is shipped flat. It is first placed in an acid-free archival polyester bag, which can be used for safe storage until the work is framed. The artwork is then laid between two rigid panels of a high density compressed wood fiber, (hardboard), which assures maximum protection against damage by either bending or puncture, and is then placed inside a heavy weight cardboard mailer, which provides added protection. 200 Limited Edition Prints.

Britain's Duchess of Cambridge twice beat her husband Prince William during friendly racing in America's Cup sailing boats on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour on Friday.
Both had some high-powered teammates - Kate was paired with Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker while William raced with Grant Dalton, the team's manager and a veteran round-the-world racer.
The royal couple is on a three-week tour of New Zealand and Australia.
It rained again as it has most days on their tour but that didn't put off hundreds of people who gathered on Auckland's waterfront to greet them.
After the racing, the couple took a ride on an amphibious craft called Sealegs, which drove out of the water at Westpark Marina to the delight of the crowds.
The couple plan to visit Hamilton on Saturday.

Whether it was beginners luck or skill, they got their fish.
On Wednesday, a couple of Destin's party boats went out for a day of fishing and brought back quite a haul.
The Swoop, at HarborWalk Marina, with Capt. Chad Mott at the helm came in with 38 people and several stringers loaded with triggerfish, mingo, white snapper and lane snapper.
And for some it was their first trip out on the Gulf of Mexico.
"This was my lucky day," said first-timer Ron Scott of Ontario.
Scott landed a humongous triggerfish that weighed more than 7 pounds.
"I caught it on my first cast," he said. "It was excellent fishing."
Steve Cormany of Fort Wayne, Ind., another first-timer, hauled in a big lane snapper.
"I had a good time," Cormany said. "I even baited my own hook."
The group was fishing about 17 miles out in 160- to 180-feet of water.
Capt. Reid Phillips and his crew on the Destin Princess, which docks at Fishing Fleet Marina, went out about 20 miles and pulled in their share of fish.
"It was a little slow at first," Phillips said. "We caught a lot of red snapper that we had to let go."
But the fishing picked up and they hauled in about 500-plus pounds of fish. In the mix were mingo, white snapper, lane snapper, triggerfish and amberine.
"We wound up with 10 to 12 lane snapper," Phillips said. "It taste just like a red snapper." The difference is, anglers can keep a lane snapper as opposed to a red snapper. The fate of the red snapper season is in limbo right now.
But the lane snapper, "It's a bonus fish," Phillips said.
Pulling in one of those bonus fish was Jim Strebral of Iowa.
Strebal was a first-timer on the Destin Princess.
"This is what you call beginners luck," he said. He was fishing along with his buddies Wayne Laing and Jim Steinbrech, also from Iowa.
It was also Bob Cooper of Kentucky's first time on the Princess.
"It was a great trip," he said. He filled his stringer with mingo, white snapper and triggerfish.
There was another threesome that was quite proud of their catch. First-time fishermen Wendell Wray and Steve Myers along with Terry Lovelace � all from Illinois � had quite the stringer. The group tried to go last year when they were in Destin, but they got stormed out.
However, on Wednesday, they had a "great time. I think I'll do it again," Myers said.
So call it luck or skill � the only thing that matters at the end of the day for these fishermen is they got their fish.
See you at the docks.
