Columns from the Atlantic Contributor's Club for 1884
that may be by Sarah Orne Jewett
A Game of Authorship
Richard Cary in "Some Bibliographic Ghosts of Sarah Orne Jewett" (Colby Quarterly 8, September 1968, pp. 139-145) says that Jewett appeared rather frequently in "The Contributors' Club." He lists 11 columns from 1878 to 1884 that he is convinced for various reasons are by Jewett. He suggests that several more may have appeared in 1892-3. I have looked through these years and have selected a few more that seem at least likely to be by Jewett. However, to my knowledge, we have solid verification of authorship for only a very few pieces.
This part of the Jewett Text Project, therefore, offers us a kind of game. What internal and external evidence can be gathered to establish that Jewett was or was not the author of any of these pieces? Cary's opinions and some other possibly relevant facts appear in the notes.
Reader comments are welcome. The most interesting ones I receive will be linked to the appropriate pieces. Send them and any corrections as well to the site manager.
An Adventure
January 1884 pp. 143-4
IT goes without saying that in this country we do not know much about feudal castles. Whatever wondrous reconciliations between opposed styles in architecture we may have to show, a traveler would journey hundreds upon hundreds of miles without once seeing towers and battlements, or so much as a moated grange. It was therefore a great surprise when, lately passing through a woodland near my home, I came upon what completely satisfied my notion of an ancient manor house. The inmates, if there were inmates, I fancied were taking a hundred years' sleep, so mouldy and solitary was the air of the place. With a boldness I would now call foolhardiness, I determined to explore the gloomy mansion. When at last I stood in a spacious chamber, well at the top of the house, it seemed somewhat strange that I could not remember by what steps I had arrived there. But my attention was soon directed to the great array of old armor which hung on the walls. I thought of the stir that such a trouvaille would cause in the State Historical Society (hitherto compelled to take up with Indian and Mound Builder relics). I felt a thrill of satisfaction that my name, as the finder, would be connected with this valuable antiquarian collection. In the midst of these reflections, I was startled by the sound of footsteps in some adjoining chamber. Instantly, fear laid hold on me; on cautious tiptoe, I hurried out through the nearest door, and was rejoiced to find not so much as a ghost to dispute the passage. There was a flight of stairs, down which I hastened with a kind of winged speed (for I still heard footsteps). Following the turn in the landing, I came to another flight of stairs, and descended this to another; and so on, down, down, until a landing, or hall-way, was reached that had but one door, and a window opposite. Thinking to make my way out at last, I opened the door. Complete darkness. A slight, soughing draught from I knew not whence brought a thick veil of cob-webs across my face. I dared not take refuge in this mysterious limbo; yet something must be done, for the steps of the pursuer were heard louder and nearer. Quick as thought, I ran to the end of the hall, and leaped through the window, -- not to the ground, however, but into another chamber! Then I -- but for artistic reasons I prefer not to recount the manner of my escape. There's but one fault to be found with the charming tales of Morphean adventure told in The Spectator: the author seems to think it needful he should reverse his spells, and invite the reader to witness the dissolution of the "baseless fabric." Why should he take such pains, when the reader does not ask to be disenchanted?
Winter Flies
Feb. 1884, p. 288-90.
- It is astonishing how easily we change our minds, and how impossible it is for us to regard the individual as we do the class to which it belongs. Perhaps the sum total of the faults of a class is more than we can bear, while the single offender has not the power to disturb us, and we are ashamed to oppose ourselves to so small and defenseless an enemy. These thoughts were not directly suggested by human beings, but by flies. One recoils from the sound of their name, as a reminder of their constant annoyance in some places and at some times of the year; but I must confess that, sitting for hours at a time by the same sunny window in winter, I have more than once become fondly attached to a single fly, which has hovered about my desk and basked in the corners of the window-paces. This year it is a singularly tame little insect, and unusually free from troublesome tricks. He is not sticky-footed, neither is he one of the pertinacious sort, which insists upon returning again and again to the same spot on my nose or eyebrow. He is more apt, when away from the window, to take up his position on my stamp-box, or the edge of a Grand-Canal-colored Venetian shell, which is fastened against the wall, near it. From thence he looks at me steadily, as if he were waiting to fly my errands for me; and I have wondered if it is he who brings back to me the words that I sometimes miss from my sentences, as I write. He buzzes them gently into my ear, and returns to his post to trim his wings for the next flight. I fancy that he sees my stories in detail, letter by letter, and that a word of four syllables has to be carried back by piecemeal, so that I vainly search my brain for the whole when only part has yet arrived.
If I have had a bit of candy, my fly is sure to find some fragments of it which escaped me, and he walks boldly among the edges of letters and sheets of paper; and if I must move them about, he takes the shortest possible flight, and comes back again fearlessly. I wonder that it does not strike him dead with terror when I stir, or when even my hand passes over him, eclipsing the rest of the world for the time being; and yet he only flies out of its way, when the hovering weight is at too close quarters. I cannot conceive why the smaller animals are no more afraid of us, and do not appear more sensible of their danger when we approach. The least of the insects probably leave the same feeling that we do when astronomers tell us that the world spins round and moves through space; and who knows what theories the wise spiders have made, being proficient in geometry and other exact sciences! They must look upon human beings as we look upon comets, and think of life as filled with accident and disaster from the eccentricities of our orbits.
The winter fly is less energetic than his summer friends, and takes life calmly, and indulges himself in quiet pleasures. He seems sometimes like a very old man, who has outlived his generation, and whose horizon grows narrower every year. The recollection of the past season must be a great surprise to my friend the last fly; and to find the world a changed and depopulated place must be melancholy. It may be that insects and animals have much more affection for each other than we suppose, and even seem to each other to be possessed of souls. They may anticipate a future life with awe, and the caterpillar, who weaves his own shroud, may do it with a solemn excuse of his future angelhood. He may have been told try some longer-lived neighbor that he will not always grovel among earthly things, or at best climb perilously up a grass stalk or fence post, but will wear shining wings, and wander at his will through space and from flower to flower. He would almost be sure of the millennium, if he did not know that his heaven and hell were dismally interfused, and that such things as sharp-beaked birds, and little boys with nets and pins, and Death himself were lying in wait for him in the bowers of his paradise.
On those days when a flood of sunshine comes through the window my lonely winter fly takes courage, and soars and buzzes as if it were summer again; but when the sky is gray he goes afoot altogether, as if he were rheumatic, and he stays a great while in one place, and does not venture into the air except for safety at a time of great danger. There is a pot of geranium on the window-sill, which serves him for a garden; and here he gets a drink of water, once in a while, or goes aloft to sit in the middle of a broad green leaf. He behaves at such times as if he wished for company; and I pity him, and should be very much shocked if I were reminded how many of his relatives I have killed with a newspaper or other engine of destruction, in the summer months. His sleeping place is behind a little picture, and I am always glad to see him walk out in the morning; for I have learned from sad experience that some day I shall miss him, and my pen will bring a dreadful blotting fragment from the depths of the ink bottle, which will drop upon my sheet of paper, to remind me that my fly was mortal, and tell me that his life is spent. His crumb of cake will presently be dusted away, and for many days I shall forget that he is dead, and be careful to avoid throwing books upon him, or to carelessly harm the fragile creature, whom I fancied had learned not to be afraid of me while he shared my fortunes. I liked to see him sit upon my hand, and ride back and forth along the lines as I wrote. But why do I speak as if my poor friend were already dead, since here he comes, brisk and busy, to see what we have before us in the way of scribbling, this pleasant winter's day.
Oak Galls
June 1884 pp. 863-4
- Every autumn I observe, with speculative interest, the great amount of spurious mast which the oak-tree discharges along with its natural fruitage. It seems not unlikely that, if a count could
be made, the numbers of this spurious mast would be found to exceed those of the acorns. Inside of one of these mock nuts, round in shape and of the size of a pea, a kernel not vegetable is found
this is the sleeping-chamber of a lazy white grub,-- suggestive type of the earthling, buried in fat content in its own little terrestrial ball. A strange servitude is this of the oak to the cynips, or gall-fly, in thus contributing of his substance to the housing and nourishment of his enemy's offspring. The mischievous sylph selects sometimes the vein of a leaf, sometimes a stem, which she stings, depositing a minute egg in the wounded tissues. As soon, at least, as the egg hatches, the gall begins to form about the larva, simulating a fruity thriftiness, remaining green through the summer, but assuming at length the russet of autumn. The innocent acorn Nature puts to bed as early as possible, that it may make a healthy, wealthy, and wise beginning on a spring morning;
but the cradle that holds the gall-fly's child she carelessly rocks above ground all winter. I should suppose unit more than one hunger-bitten forager, four-footed or feathered, would resort to a larder so convenient and so well stocked with plump tidbits.
When I visit my old favorite oak in spring, I notice that the nut-galls are emulating the acorns in emancipating their imprisoned germs of life. Most of the former are already empty, their brown-papery tissues riddled like firecrackers whose use is past. In some few the grub is still enjoying a sluggard's slumber; others show a later stage of metamorphosis, -- the small bronze and blue-green fly, with its wings folded about it, like a queen in the tomb of the Pharaohs. Sometimes, when I open the gall, the inmate is already mobile, and flies away as soon as light and air reach it. For the moment, the incident has a symbolical significance: I fancy myself an enchanter, - the receiver of a smouldering spark of vital fire. Perhaps it was Psyche herself whom I wafted to the enjoyment of ethereal pleasures.
An Adventure: Cary attributes this piece to Jewett.

Winter Flies: Cary does not attribute this piece to Jewett. However, in a 2/19/1903 letter to Edith Forbes Perkins (in Cary's collection), Jewett writes: "I was amusing myself lately by thinking how much I feel like one of those stupid old winter flies that appear out of their cracks at this time of year, but I know one thing -- how "sensible they are to kindness," as my grandmother would say." She has, at least, paid attention to the phenomenon of winter flies.

How to Measure Muscular Gains
Measuring your muscular gains is always a great way to track your process on any fitness regimen. Measure your muscular gains with help from an AFTA certified personal trainer and life coach in this free video clip.
Hi, I'm Kimba Smith with K Fit. I'm a personal trainer and life coach. Today, we're gonna talk about how to measure your muscular gains. First and foremost, I'm gonna tell you take the scale, put it away. When you're looking for your muscular gains, the scale is not gonna be where you're gonna want to look for those out. The first thing that you're going to want to do is get a journal, and you're gonna wanna journal and keep track of everything. That's a perfect way that you can see your progress. It's simple, it's easy, and if you're really committed to having muscular gains, you need to be committed to taking the effort to get into it, and one of it is getting, first start off by getting a journal and start writing everything down inside the journal. Write down your moods, write down your exercise, write down what you're eating, start getting real with what's going on. Second thing I'm gonna say is, get your body fat percent done. That's where you wanna start tracking your results. Not the scale. So once a week you wanna get your body percent fat checked. The best place you can do is have someone that has a caliper and go ahead and get your body percent taken with a caliper, but make sure you do it with the same person. And I would check that maybe every week, every two weeks. That's a great indicator. Another thing, pictures don't lie. Before and after pictures. Take some before and after, take them every four weeks. Make a collage out of them, put them right next to each other, if you don't know how to make a collage, I'm sure there's someone out there that does. That's a big thing right now, so it's a great way to put it up and keep yourself motivated. Go by the way your clothes are feeling. How are you feeling in those clothes? Listen to what other people are saying. If someone tells you that you're looking good and you're looking toned, take that compliment, and celebrate it. Those are simple and small rewards that you need to go ahead and celebrate and not focus on the great big picture, but celebrate those small moments. Again, I'm Kimba Smith, with K Fit, and I just gave you a few simple tips of how to measure your muscular gains.

Here are some pics I found at Musings of a Fatshionista:
Bonnie and Clyde, Rosemary's Baby, and Harold and Maude are their inspirations? Seriously, if you threw something sparkly in there, like Velvet Goldmine, I think I'd lose my shit. (I've wanted a yellow umbrella since I saw Harold and Maude too. Maybe I'll find one this year.)
I think my brain almost exploded when I saw that sequined skeletal dress.
According to a Target spokesperson, the new collection will be "very feminine, yet very modern. The collection incorporates a rich mix of patterns and fabrications and everything from sequins and bows to faux fur. The key with Rodarte is layering."
Sequins, bows, and skulls? That's what the inside of my head looks like. I can't wait.

Hello peeps! Today, I decided that is was about time I showed you TSG's Baby 2.0!
Happy Monday! I just back from the dentist, and you know we all LOVE seeing the dentist on Monday \o/! My mouth hurts ._.'. I figured that i'd finally post this, in hopes of helping myself pass this pain, with cute!
Before I begin, I should mention that I am wearing my usual favorite blush/freckles/moles, which are NOT included with this skin.
Oh the nostalgia! So if you've been into The Sugar Garden's skins since at least late 2012/early this year, then you've probably seen the super cute skin, Baby. I fell in love with Baby the minute I tried it on. It was just..wow. The face was simply adorable, and the lips? The lips helped me form the shape I have today. One could say that I owe Baby. <3
TSG has recently released an update for Baby, "Baby 2.0." This update brings Baby up to "code" with her current skins.
Update LOG (Made By TSG Owner):
~The old Baby skin line only included 3 eyebrow options - the Baby 2.0 has all 5 now
Old baby did not have tummy shading options and only came in 4 tones, now Baby 2.0 has all the options and tones our newer skins have to offer. We also adjusted some facial shading and more realistic looking eyelids to help blend the skins better overall :)
~If you own the old baby skins, Baby 2.0 is still worth a try. The difference is quite noticeable!
~Previous loud mouth appliers for baby still work though !♥
Inu's Personal Opinion:
Wow. I know that I have some history with Baby, but this update is WELL worth it if you used to love Baby, or are new to Baby. The shading of the face has been improved tons, and you don't need new appliers if you own any from her recent skins.

John Lautner's architecture has become an iconic backdrop to the mid-century architecture movement in the City of Los Angeles. His homes have played starring roles in movies such as Charlie's Angeles, Diamonds Are Forever, The Big Lebowski, and was more recently featured as Tony Stark's residence in Iron Man. As an apprentice to infamous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, Lautner's architecture has laws promoted harmony between human habitation and the natural world. His designs are sympathetic and well integrated into their sites, and he made a distinct effort to design buildings and furnishing to be a part of a larger, unified whole that expands into the environment. The John Lautner 100 series will seek to educate the public about the importance of preserving Lautner's architecture, which has been lauded for its sustainable features and inspirational design. The celebration starts this week and continues into November. The full schedule of events is available after the jump.
Home tours are available this weekend, but the year long celebration runs through November. A chronilogical listing of all the events are available at the John Lautner Foundation website.

Singer Featherweight 221
This past year or so I've been wanting a vintage sewing machine. They were built better back in the day and looked so much more elegant. Don't get me wrong, I love my Singer Stylist 7258 model and my new Singer ProFinish serger.I just wanted a machine that I could take apart and do my own maintenance. These old machines were built to last and it shows!
So here is my beautiful 1945 Featherweight! I know she's from 1945 because of her serial number. If you go to ISMACS International website, you can look up your sewing machine date information from the serial number! I learned that mine also has some blackside properties. She looks like a regular Featherweight, but has some darker parts. The presser bar level is black not chrome, stitch length indicator is black, handwheel is black, and some of her accessories are also black. Some machines are blackside due to WWII and that chromium was in such short supply that it was restricted for war material use only. Click HERE for more information on the blackside Featherweight.
Basically last Friday (August 21st), a man posted on Craigslist that he had a Featherweight for sale and once I saw that advertisement, I knew I had to have a Featherweight. This started my obsession. I've since done plenty of research on these babies and man are they popular. I actually got a pretty good deal too compared to other Ebay prices and other Craigslist ads too. She has all original parts and all her decals are in perfect condition. You'll see a lot of these have faded decals and the paint having some gouges or chips.
On Saturday, we headed to the man's house (he was having an estate sale) and he saved the machine for me to come look at it. The motor worked and the light worked and so we came home with her. I named her Euphagenia (from Mrs. Doubtfire) or Effie for short.
We used q-tips and a clean microfiber cloth to clean her up and used kerosene to get rid of the old oil. Then we used Zymol wax to clean and put a protective coat on her decals. There are a few different places online to get info on cleaning and maintaining Featherweights. I personally like April 1930s website and Nova Montgomery's website for useful information. I've also purchased from both sites. April 1930's has excellent customer service and is extremely fast. Nova's is great as well. They both have a plethora of information and love to help.
After waxing, we replaced Effie's bulb and got her an LED bulb. We also oiled her and lubed her up. You can easily use the manual to teach you how to oil and lube the machine, but there are also blogs on it as well. I'd also recommend buying Featherweight 221 – The Perfect Portable by Nancy Johnson-Srebro and The Featherweight 221 and I by David McCallum. David McCallum also has a DVD and I do have it, I just haven't used it yet. I purchased David's book and DVD as a bundle set from April 1930s. I bought Nancy's book from Amazon.

This is my dream machine! I'm hoping I can find myself one. I'm using a Singer 66 vintage machine right now as my daily driver. Thanks for posting such a detailed review of your 221.

Original Run: February 25, 2006 - August 12, 2006
Episodes: 23 - List of Episodes
In an unspecified amount of millennia into the future, the world has long been ravaged by a cataclysm thousands of years ago, there exists a refuge on this ruined Earth -- a Domed City named "Romdeau," where humans and their android servants, the AutoReivs, live in a state of controlled peace. This constructed paradise that houses its wealthy citizens and unfortunate immigrants is ruled by a mayor and his governing council. They demand that complete order and servitude is kept within Romdeau to keep chaos at its gates at bay. However, this utopian landscape is soon shattered by a series of horrifying murders. Re-L Mayer, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her AutoReiv partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. When Re-L and Iggy investigate the latest crime scene, Re-L is almost attacked by a mysterious creature, neither human nor AutoReiv, that is seemingly drawn to her. She begins to learn the truth about the mysterious creatures that are simply referred to as "Proxies" and what they truly are.
Wikipedia EntryEdit
Ergo Proxy (エルゴプラクシーErugo Purakushī?) is a science fiction suspense anime television series produced by Manglobe, which premiered across Japan on 25 February 2006 on the WOWOW satellite network. It is directed by Shukō Murase, with screenplay by Dai Satō et al.. Ergo Proxy has been described as a dark sci-fi mystery with philosophical underpinnings [1]. It features a combination of 2D digital cel animation, 3D computer modeling, and digital special effects.
The SettingsEdit
The series takes place in a post-apocalyptic future of Earth, focusing on the aftermath of a global ecological disaster. The apparent cause of this travesty was rapid climate change due to a string of explosions in methane hydrate reserves. Occuring during the second half of the 21st century, the impromptu detonations succeeded in wiping out 85% of the planet's Human population.
In order to survive, the remaining Humans made 300 Proxies in an event known as the Proxy Project and charged them with the creation of another Human race; they were to be nurtured within Dome Cities of the Proxies' establishment. These sealed off communities contained a birthing system called the WombSys as well as AutoReivs, two factors intended to aid and propagate the fledgling species. Once the Proxies were sent forth, the original Humans left Earth for another planet, biding their time until they were certain that Earth was safe for both Human races to settle. Their purpose completed, the then obsolete Proxies would have their immortal Amrita Cells destroyed by the emerging sun's deadly rays, unable to live under blue skies and therefore stamped out as relics of the past.
However, the Proxies proved to be an imperfect creation. The Humans that they endeavored to produce and support took on their authors' defects, becoming flawed creatures as well. Due to such factors, Humanity's population continued to plummet with the gradual loss of the Domes' populations, their Proxy guardians succumbing to sorrow, rage, and insanity.
Thousands of years later, the story of Ergo Proxy follows Re-L Mayer, Vincent Law, and Pino as they journey to find the truth that has been lost about their world and themselves. By this time, Earth has only worsened; a plague called the Cogito Virus spreads amongst the AutoReiv populations, the remaining Dome Cities are steadily failing, and Romdeau's regent Donov Mayer is naught but an ersatz ruler.

Have you ever had concernings about what could happen to your beloved watch if suddenly someone decided to shoot at it? No? Well the developers of Devon Works seemed to have those or similar fears because they have created an wristwatch that is totally bulletproof.
The watch is built around an array of four microstep motors, eachone driving one of an interwoven quartet of time belts.
A Californian aerospace engineering company helped in designing the watch, therefore the rocketing price of $15,000.

Super Mario Run May Reach 1.5+ Billion Downloads, Says Analyst Dr. Serkan Toto
The blue shell won't have any part of it, though.
As Nintendo's second big experiment in mobile gaming approaches in the form of Super Mario Run, Dr. Serkan Toto, a reputable mobile market analyst in Tokyo and CEO of Kantan Games, Inc., has predicted that Super Mario Run is going to do very well come its release. Dr. Toto had previously predicted, on Twitter, that Pokémon Go would be a huge success in Japan. On the day that it was released there, USA Today reported it had been downloaded many times more than on the day it was released here. Retrospectively, it appears that Dr. Toto was correct in his hypothesis about Pokémon Go's success in Japan. In regards to Super Mario Run, however, Dr. Toto explains:
"As Nintendo's first actual game for smart devices, I expect Super Mario Run to do extremely well in terms of downloads: 1.5 billion+ downloads (over the lifecycle of the game, worldwide, on both iOS and Android and for tablets and phones).
I upped the estimate I gave to the Wall Street Journal after giving it more thought.
This is of course for the initial download, which will be free (users will get asked for real money to unlock content after an initial free playing phase).
An "if": the free version of the app should offer a reasonable amount of content to players before hitting them with a paywall, especially multiplayer or leaderboards. Otherwise, there is no way (i.e. because of reduced virality and word of mouth).
The pricing has caused a lot of confusion: Nintendo Japan is historically terrible in communications, and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto did a bad job explaining this part of the game when he demonstrated it for the first time."
Dr. Toto then goes on to explain reasons as to why Super Mario Run may be so successful:
- "again: Super Mario Run is a free-to-download and not a premium app in the traditional sense
- it will star Mario, the world's most iconic video game IP (the simplest but perhaps clearest of the soft arguments)
- a bad experience would be incredibly disappointing: it can be expected that Nintendo and DeNA will do everything to deliver quality content, especially as a follow-up to Pokemon Go
- over the last years, anticipation for Nintendo content on smart devices has been higher than for any other video games: it will also be the first Mario experience for millions of people (i.e. in China, when Super Mario Run gets actually launched there)
- the title already received massive marketing support from Apple (Miyamoto on stage at the iPhone 7 unveiling, there will be "Mario stickers" when Apple switches on the feature in iMessage, etc.)
- it's the first app on iOS using Apple's pre-registration service: this means that everybody pushing the "notify" button on the game's already existing App Store page will get a push notification on their device when the game is live (this alone will generate massive traffic on day one) – a great, effective, free and direct user acquisition tool
- there can be no question that Apple will massively promote Super Mario Run further when it goes live – also all for free
- even though Android was ignored at launch, Google most likely will do similar/free promotions when Super Mario Run gets available on their devices in 2017
- etc. etc."
This is a very convincing argument. Dr. Toto has provided a lot of support for his claims as well. Among other reasons for Super Mario Run to receive a good amount of traffic on its release, Dr. Toto is certainly right in that Mario is one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic, video game characters of all-time. The game will initially be free and it is being marketed very well by both Nintendo and Apple. He did criticize Nintendo Japan for confusing the public in regards to pricing, but overall, he still expects the game to do very well worldwide.
It is important to reiterate that Dr. Serkan Toto is very reputable when it comes to Japanese mobile app and gaming markets, as he has spoken to the Wall Street Journal, arguably the most highly regarded media source for financial markets. Plus, he predicted Pokémon Go's success in Japan very accurately. Although time will tell in regards to Dr. Toto's hypothesis over the course of the game's lifecycle, iPhone users can expect to see Super Mario Run sometime in December. For more information on Super Mario Run, we will keep you updated.

In a new book entitled One for the Road that chronicles drunk driving in the United States during the past century, author and professor of Medicine and Public Health at Columbia Barron Lerner acknowledges progress in the reduction of impaired driving – but also looks for more innovative approaches. While drunk driving killed approximately 25,000 individuals each year in this country by the middle of the 1900s, that number has decreased substantially since (current estimates are around 10,000 to 11,000 fatalities annually), according to Lerner.
However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calculates that a minimum of 110 million alcohol-related incidents and infractions currently occur in the country each year. In a recent interview with National Public Radio (NPR), the author looked to technological advancement for possible direction.
Due to legislative and cultural road blocks, Lerner told NPR that he doesn't foresee the blood alcohol content (BAC) limit enforced by law to drop anytime soon, even though many insist it is set too high at 0.08 percent (Sweden's BAC legal limit is 0.02 percent). However, a number of U.S. states are utilizing technology for DWI and DUI offenders that the author thinks should become standard for all cars and drivers. Ignition interlock devices essentially wire a Breathalyzer for the ignition of a car, if an individual blows into it and registers a reading above the legal limit, the car will not start. Further into the future, Lerner sees more technological advances, potentially in infrared steering wheels that will read a driver's BAC to control car ignition in the same manner.
However, standardizing these tech measures on a judicial level may be equally if not more difficult than lowering the BAC. Using a designated driver is the easiest and most effective first line of offense against drunk driving violations and accidents, according Lerner, but the practice is still unfortunately begrudged in the U.S. due to cultural perceptions.
Drunk driving charges can result in license suspension, thousands of dollars in fines, and other charges if connected to an accident. If you're facing drunk driving charges in Colorado, contact the Colorado Springs drunk driving lawyers with the Bussey Law Firm, P.C. at (719) 475-2555 for a free and confidential consultation.

This video is about creating a digital painting effect from a Photograph.
The technique used makes use of several features of Photoshop and Camera Raw that are covered in previous videos.
Noise Reduction using Camera Raw
The Oil Paint filter - new in Photoshop CS6. (Try the Pixel Bender plugin in previous versions of Photoshop.)
Color Lookup adjustment - new in Photoshop CS6.
How to create a Custom Border using refine edge / mask edge
How to merge visible layers in Photoshop
Using the Dodge and Burn tools
Using the Shadows and Highlights adjustment in creating a hyper real portrait
How to create a Classic Polaroid Border in Photoshop.
In this video we not only create a vintage border, but we also create a photo gallery template.
Because this is a template we can reuse it to create further galleries. The idea is to save the document and then to use the smart objects inside the document to replace the images you previously selected.
Save your work to a different document each time and create a series of galleries highlighting your work.
Change the background and you can create a different mood and feel for your gallery.

The Longest Yarn… JOE BIDEN CAUGHT IN LIE – Said He Played College Football – He Didn't
Friday Night Lies
Capitalist Preservation
During a campaign stop in Athens, Ohio, on Saturday September 8, Vice President Joe Biden said the last time he was in the town, playing against the Ohio University football team on October 19, 1963, he almost got arrested for walking into a girls' dormitory.
It's a good story. It's just not true… at all.
Shawn at Free Republic discovered that Joe Biden did not play football at the University of Delaware in 1961, 1962, 1963, or 1964, according to past yearbooks.
The 1984 University of Delaware yearbook included an interview with Joe Biden. It's Biden first ever interview were he talks about his "triple major" (later during Biden's 1988 presidential campaign he admitted he lied and had two majors, not three) and playing "intramural football" (flag football). There is no mention about him playing college football.
Page 324 of 1984 year book
There's more:
In the University of Delaware's online news service, UDaily, Biden wrote this in which he is the sole source (so take it with a grain of salt):
Joe Biden once said he came to the University of Delaware in 1961 as a "half-baked halfback," playing on the freshman football team that year under the late Scotty Duncan, and the Democratic vice presidential candidate remains a big fan of the Fightin' Blue Hens.
But even this account is doubtful because on page 162 in the sports section of Delaware University's 1961 yearbook, Biden is not listed on the freshman football team's roster.
Joe Biden said he played football at the University of Delaware and that he almost got arrested after a game in Ohio.
It's just not true.

In the Montessori classroom, there are many learning opportunities associated with nature, and it is a great time to organize "going out" activities for your Montessori students. No doubt teachers and students alike are definitely ready to take the classroom outside on sunny spring days, and what better time to explore first-hand learning opportunities in botany, zoology, and physical education as well as cultural geography activities such as mapping out your schoolyard? Don't forget this is also an important time of year for environmental allergies, and plan to accommodate student needs accordingly.
May Cultural and Practical Life Activities in the Montessori ClassroomThere is also a wide variety of cultural and practical life activities that can be incorporated into the Montessori curriculum for any age group, such as a Spring Tea for parents/grandparents as the school year begins to wind down. Perhaps your Montessori school is near a seniors' residence – your students could prepare a short choir performance for an afternoon visit. Organizing a classroom Spring Clean is another practical life activity that engages students in the care, beauty and order of their environment.
Other May celebrations provide cultural and artistic learning opportunities for your Montessori students as well. Previous NAMC blogs offer activity ideas for May Day (May 1), Cinco De Mayo and Kodomono-hi (May 5), and Mother's Day (May 9 this year). The NAMC Lower Elementary Advanced Practical Life manual provides Spring Tea activities.
As much as possible, NAMC's web blog reflects the Montessori curriculum as provided in its teacher training programs. We realize and respect that Montessori schools are unique and may vary their schedules and offerings in accordance with the needs of their individual communities. We hope that our readers will find our articles useful and inspiring as a contribution to the global Montessori community.

POSTED BY Sarah Green ON 10:06 pm, July 29, 2006 - POSTED IN News reel
Today I had the pleasure of watching my Red Sox come back and beat the Angels on national television. And who should deliver the game's most clutch hits? Why, the most clutch hitter alive, David Ortiz. He hit a key homer in the bottom of the 9th and singled home the walkoff run in the 11th. And, I must add, the single in the 11th was just a wee dribbler to left. But, because every manager in the AL now thinks he can put a shift on Ortiz, bring in a lefty hurler, and call it a day, a wee dribbler was all Papi needed. Skippers beware: no one puts Baby in the corner, and no one puts a a shift on Big Papi! He'll go the other way! Oh yes he will!
Here's a gallery of David's 14 walkoff hits with the Red Sox (eight of 'em homers, beeyatch). The best was the teaser that Fox, whose broadcasts I normally despise, ran a montage of David's clutch hits to Christina Aguilera's new single. Okay, I was dancing around my living room. By myself. I admit it.
And I just have to say it—even though I fear in my superstitious heart that by doing so, I will jinx everything—can't Papi please, please, pretty please win the MVP already? If the MVP chants haven't started up in the Fens yet, I will take matters into my own lungs at tomorrow night's game. Oh yes I will!

One of the perennial odd stories that go around the Internet is a costume experience for a 5 year old boy in some part of the U.S.A. Most young (non-Jewish) children dress up in costumes for the secularized celebration of Halloween at the end of the month of October.
This particular young boy decided he wanted a costume of his favorite cartoon character. That character happens to be a slinky female semi-action character on the cartoon Scooby Doo.
So the big deal of this odd story was that this mother encouraged her son to go through with his desire and bought him the female-dress-costume of the character.
Why am I bothering with this shtuss? The mother's final statement of justification…
(The Mother: ) If my daughter had dressed as Batman, no one would have thought twice about it. No one.
And all I hope for my kids, and yours…is that they are happy. If a set of purple sparkly tights and a velvety dress is what makes my baby happy one night, then so be it. If he wants to carry a purse, or marry a man, or paint fingernails with his best girlfriend, then O.K. My job as his mother is not to stifle that man that he will be, but to help him along his way. Mine is not to dictate what is 'normal' and what is not, but to help him become a good person. I hope I am doing that.
And my little man worked that costume like no other. He rocked that wig, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
A generation of war led to a generation of tightly disciplined kids. A generation of very tightly disciplined kids led to a counter-cultural rebellion of peace, love, and no discipline.
Now we've reached a generation of NO STANDARDS, where parents feel that merely defining what is NORMAL is WRONG. But not to worry because we want him to be a GOOD PERSON, even if we can't define what that is (because that would be defining normal, which is WRONG).
No discipline, you don't have to work at it, no standards to keep things reasonable, moral, or headed in the right direction (just from past experience). No absolutes for morality or what is right (or not). Whatever we feel is "good" is good. And if someone else doesn't feel that way…well, what right do we have to impinge on their thinking?
Indeed, today the religious Jews are the counter-cultural revolutionaries. With their standards and right and wrong business, with G-d and Torah and disciplines for life. With being GOOD actually defined, helping others, giving charity, loving your neighbor. With actual restrictions teaching one to control oneself and defining certain activities, foods, even certain speech as NOT GOOD.
Take a look where society is headed and make a choice. Me, I'm going counter-cultural, I'm taking a stand. And that itself makes one counter in this time.

|The naming of the "Red Car River Park"
|On July 11, 2005 Los Angeles City Councilman Eric Garcetti and Friends of Atwater Village announced "Red Car River Park" with
official installation of signage designating existing green space abutting the river where the historic Pacific Electric Railway once
entered Atwater Village.
"The L.A. River and the historic 'Red Car' Pacific Electric Railway converged many years ago in Atwater Village," said Councilman
Garcetti. "Today we reclaim the open space where the tracks crossed the river for a pocket park, and in doing so we also reclaim an
important piece of L.A.'s history."
"Our community of Atwater Village has lived by the river since the 1920s, but since then we've slowly walled ourselves off from this
great open space," said Sandra Caravella, local resident and founding member of Friends of Atwater Village (FAV). "Red Car River
Park creates an important gateway to the river," said Caravella.
Netty Carr, fellow resident and founding FAV member, said "We hope it will be the first of many safe and attractive access points that
bring more Atwater and Los Angeles neighbors out to rediscover the river." Red Car River Park serves as the only river access point
from the neighborhood south of Glendale Boulevard. The current site features a broad lawn that slopes up the the river bank, as well
as a seating area facing large pylons that once supported a Pacific Electric Railway bridge across the river.
"The Red Car crossed over the river from Silver Lake and into Atwater Village on its way to Glendale and then back to downtown", said
Ann Lawson of FAV, who remembers riding the Red Car through the neighborhood. "The Red Car was about taking people to places
where they wanted to go. We will soon paint a beautiful mural on one of the pylons commemorating the Red Car (*this mural project
was completed in October 2005). Hopefully, its memory will bring out neighbors to someplace they may never have visited - the L.A.
In September of last year, Friends of Atwater Village (FAV) hosted a fundraiser as its first effort to support Red Car River Park. FAV has
been working with Garcetti's City Council District 13 and Clean & Green to remove the overgrown ivy and we will replant with native
Through the Los Angeles City Neighborhood Matching Fund Program, FAV will create the mural and hopes to recruit Atwater Village
children of all ages to take part in this project. FAV's overall goal is to increase safety and access for residents seeking recreation and a
connection to the river. The effort builds on a small pocket park installed by Northeast Trees on the Southeast side of the Hyperion
Bridge at the LA River.
Atwater is fortunate to have the soft-bottom section of the LA River - one of the most beautiful stretches of the river - as one of the
community's borders. This portion of the river supports a wide variety of plants and bird-life, including one of the region's largest
native birds, the blue heron.
Project sponsors plan to reclaim more of the existing space with installation of walkways and planting more native plants. "We hope to
make the site safer and more accessible for local residents seeking recreation and re-connection to the river," said Cesar Portillo of
FAV. "Existing hardscape includes a bike rack, river- rock seating areas, which will be cleaned of graffiti. The end result will be a more
visually inviting and accessible park."

KISSIMMEE — In the second clash in as many weeks, Superintendent Max Waters last week criticized school board member Martha Anderson, accusing her of playing politics after she requested a chart showing who would take charge in the event of his absence.
The increasingly public conflict has concerned other board members who say the personality difference between the two could affect the entire board if not resolved. The other four board members agree that better communication is needed between Waters and Anderson.

An entertaining, affordable and very useful video that demystifies the dentist experience and yes, makes it fun. Highly recommended.-Video Librarian 4 stars=excellent. Editors Choice
20th annual Telly Award Finalist- Childrens Video- A National competition honoring outstanding non-network television commercials and programs and non-broadcast videos and film production.
This presentation can be used for a dental unit at school, at home to allay childrens fears about going to the dentist, or in the dentists waiting room. Multimedia Review
I write in praise of your video titled A Trip to the Dentist Can be Lots of Fun. This video is educational, it presents a positive perspective of dentistry, and is entertaining. Children that I know, who have seen the show, are motivated to go brush and take care of their teeth, and also want to go to the dentist. I believe that every child should see the video, every pediatric or general dental office should show it. -Allen H. Schneiderman, DDS, MPH Associate Professor, NJ Dental School.
Thank you very much for your wonderful video, A Trip to the Dentist Can be Lots of Fun. It is an excellent addition to our childrens library, and the department supervisor is delighted to add it to the collection. We are sure that many parents will want to share it with their little ones. Anne Meany, Director, Bernards Township Library.
Just wanted to tell you how wonderful the video, A Trip to the Dentist Can be Lots of Fun is.My staff and I watched the tape during lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. The consensus was that the video is adorable. We couldnt help but tap our feet as the songs were played.I am still able to hear this catchy tune in my mind. The production of the video was extremely professional and very colorful. It was fast paced, educational and entertaining at the same time. I expect that Bucky will do for childrensdentistry what Big Bird does for childrens education. - Laurence Bremmer, DMD, FAGD, PA-Family Dentistry.

VMware accelerates shift to digitalisation in SL
At the recently concluded Bali CIO summit 'Accelerating Your Digital Enterprise', VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW) reinforced its commitment toward enabling digital transformation in Southeast Asia, by displaying a strong focus on enabling business mobility, future proofing the cloud and enhancing security.
The summit was organised by IDC and VMware – and VMware showcased an end-to-end solutions portfolio that is set to fuel business transformation across the region. VMware said, it mainly aims to accelerates the shift to digitalisation and Cloud in Sri Lanka.
"Sri Lanka is undergoing rapid transformation. Widespread adoption of cloud and mobile technologies is enabling positive disruption in this extremely promising and evolving market. As businesses evolve, VMware stays committed to equipping organisations with the right infrastructure and tools that can offer higher levels of simplicity, speed and affordability," said Adrian Hia, general manager, Nascent Markets, VMware Southeast Asia.
To secure data and applications in today's digital business environment, VMware highlighted the need for a ubiquitous layer in between physical infrastructure and applications – one that provides full network visibility or an application-oriented lens into the infrastructure.
According to VMware, this will enable IT to align security controls and protect the organization's most important digital assets.

Today, the European Space Agency successfully landed a robot spacecraft on a comet for the first time in human history. Well done! It was launched ten years ago.
It was intended to launch even longer ago, to a different comet in January of 2003. A 2002 launch failure of the intended launch vehicle required a change in plans.
This is how you do it: with patience!

Some people may argue that there is no difference between sex and love making. Awareness should be created that there is indeed a difference between the two. Having sex tends to be less emotional, majorly an act for mainly pleasure purposes, while on the other hand making love is described to be more emotional, passionate as well as a mental activity.
Making love with your partner especially for the first time is normally a moment that is very special. IN many of the new relationship, making love is mostly a planned activity. Anyone who has experienced this will surely testify that there is a sensual foreplay often, and bodies of the two love birds do actually make a perfect fit.
If it's the first time with your new partner and you're just having sex, it may be a spontaneous activity. Your partner may not be your lover in anyway, but this sex often is found to be sloppy and somewhat awkward. You will find struggle to find the perfect position, it may also feel like something is amiss.
Drunken comparison
It is true that in a drunken state the urge to either make love or have sex is largely increased. Two love birds often enjoy making love when drunk as apart from enhanced passion, the urge to dig out satisfaction from the sex is great.
On the other hand, having sex when drunk may be enjoyable and rough, but if there are no strong feelings between the new partners sexual satisfaction may not be achieved.
The Setting.
Making love and having sex are two activities that usually find themselves in different kind of settings. This implies that the situation under which sex is happening determines whether two partners are either making love or just having sex. A good example is; if two partners are in a room filled with candles, and a bed full of rose petals, then love making is goin to take place. But if two partners are at the backseat of a car then it might be termed as having sex. As seen, the two activities have different settings
- Comparison between the aftermath of sex and love making.
Lovemaking involves orgasms that are mutual and the cuddling and spooning follow. The after-sex behavior of two partners usually depicts closeness between them. But in the many occasions of sex between two partners without commitment between them ends up in a walk of shame in the morning, or a feeling of not seeing your partner. However, in rare occasions of random sex attachment may be created.
But in honest summary, If there is care and feelings as well as commitment between two partners, they tend to appreciate the lovemaking as opposed to one night stands who have to may be run away from each other the next morning.
In summary, lovemaking tends to be much better than sex as, passion and emotion wins the pleasure creating battle
In my opinion (and experience), it's far more common to have sex than to make love. However, this means that when you do find yourself both emotionally and physically stimulated with a partner you care for very deeply, you appreciate the art of lovemaking so much more than that one-night stand a few months ago with whats his name.

Journalists and Trespass
Note: The word journalist applies to photographers and reporters alike in this section.
Note: The word journalist applies to photographers and reporters alike in this section.
The rights of free speech and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures have traditionally enjoyed great protection in the United States. Both of these freedoms are included in the Bill of Rights and have been defined in countless court decisions. Although these fundamental freedoms protect citizens against state action, they can implicate the actions of journalists when journalists enter private property to report on a story. This is because entering upon the land of another without their consent is trespass, and the First Amendment does not give journalists the right to trespass. Courts have traditionally upheld a person's right to protection from unreasonable searches and seizures (and their right to privacy), as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment, to outweigh a journalists interest in acquiring news.
This general concept has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court, which held in the case of Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. 665, 1 Media L. Rep. 2617 (1972), that newsmen have no constitutional right of access to the scenes of crime or disaster when the general public is excluded. Numerous other court decisions have expanded upon this general rule. Most notably is Wilson v. Layne, 526 U.S. 603 (1999), which deals with media "ride-alongs" (where members of the media accompany law enforcement officials performing their duties). In Wilson, the Supreme Court held that an individual's Fourth Amendment rights were violated when members of the media accompanied law enforcement officials who executed a search warrant on their private residence. The reasoning behind this decision is that police actions must be related to the objectives of the authorized intrusion (as spelled out in the search warrant) and the accompanying members of the media did not aid in the execution of the search warrant. Therefore, the law enforcement officials were not permitted to invite non-essential personnel, including journalists, with them in executing a search warrant. This principal applies no matter what the public interest is in the events taking place.
As with any legal policy, there are exceptions to the general rule. First, journalists are free to observe and record events that take place in public. If a suspect bursts out of the house and is chased down the street, such action is not protected by the Fourth Amendment and may be recorded by journalists. Second, trespass does not occur when the journalist is invited onto the property by the possessor or owner of the property. For example, if a tenant of an apartment complex invites a journalist into the apartment, the journalist is not trespassing, even if the owner of the apartment complex objects to his or her presence. Third, trespass does not occur if the journalist is invited onto private property by firefighters or police officers in a situation where a search warrant is not being served (such as during an arson investigation) and the owner or occupant does not object to the presence of the journalist.
Other situations are likely to be considered trespass by the courts. If the journalist is not invited onto the property, but instead uses force to enter the property, the journalist will be committing a trespass. A trespass will occur once the occupant of the property objects to the journalist's presence and the journalist refuses to leave. However, if the occupant permits the journalist on the scene, the journalist may remain there even if the police object to his or her presence. The Fourth Amendment protects the citizen, not the police officials.
Courts have even held that the government can prevent journalists from entering a public area under certain conditions. For example, courts have held that the military could prevent journalists from attending funeral ceremonies for soldiers (where the journalists were refused permission to attend by the deceased soldiers' families) because it did not impede the journalists from acquiring the basic facts.
Finally, journalists may be committing trespass if the use misrepresentation or fraud to violate someone's private space or gains intimate details of one's life. This concept applies to individuals and businesses alike. An example of this concept is Food Lion v. Capital Cities/A.B.C., 194 F.3d 505, (4th Cir.(N.C.) 1999), where two journalists posed as employees for Food Lion grocery stores and gained access to areas of the store that were off limits to the general public. The court found that there was trespass in this case because the journalists violated a duty of loyalty towards Food Lion because they were hired as employees. However, this does not mean that every journalist investigating a business will be guilty of trespass. The court in the Food Lion case indicated that if a journalist used misrepresentation (such as posing as a phony customer) to gain access to a business, such action will not constitute a trespass if it occurs in a public area (such as a doctor's office or a showroom floor) and does not invade the intimate details of anybody's life. Therefore, journalists acting as false customers or testers are not guilty of trespass if they acquire information in areas that are open to the public.
Note: While the several of the above situations have not been litigated in Pennsylvania, it is likely that Pennsylvania courts will uphold the same or similar concepts.

Arthrogryposis, Distal, Type 2B: TNNI2 Gene Sequencing
Condition Description
Distal arthrogryposis type 2B is an autosomal dominant congenital contracture syndrome. Characteristics include contractures primarily in the distal joints of the limb, a triangular face, downslanting palpebral fissures, small mouth, and high arched palate. Other common clinical features can include prominent nasolabial folds, attached earlobes, mild cervical webbing, short stature, severe camptodactyly, ulnar deviation, and vertical talus and/or talipes equinovarus. Primary neurological defects and muscle abnormalities are absent.
Contractures tend to be most severe at birth and are non-progressive. While distal joints are primarily affected, more proximal joints may also be affected. The severity of the contractures can vary between the upper and lower limbs and between the left and right sides of the body. Growth, development, cognitive abilities, and life expectancy are in the normal range. Clinical presentation is highly variable both between and within families.
Approximately half of the reported cases of distal arthrogryposis type 2B are inherited, and half are sporadic. Gene mutations can be identified in about 50% of individuals with a clinical diagnosis. Germline mosaicism has been reported. Three genes are currently known to be involved: TNNI2, TNNI3, and MYH3. While diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, mutation analysis can help distinguish distal arthrogryposis type 2B from other arthrogryposis syndromes.
This testing is for mutations in the TNNI2 gene (11p15.5) only.
For patients with suspected distal arthrogryposis type 2B, sequence analysis is recommended as the first step in mutation identification. For patients in whom mutations are not identified by full gene sequencing, deletion/duplication analysis is appropriate.

Seasonal bellwether or just hocus pocus, the first five trading days bode well for 2013.
Given the often unfathomable global risks facing investors at the start of any new year, it's not hard to see the temptation of a few rules of thumb to parse the next 12 months.
Whether history repeats or just rhymes, seasonal trading patterns captured in well-thumbed investment almanacs are typically a trove of ideas for market timing and direction.
And so enter the "five day rule", often cited by Jim O'Neill, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, as an uncanny portent of the year's trading.
