Whatever the season, Thredbo Alpine Village is a fantastic base to explore the sublime alpine landscape of Kosciuszko National Park and the rooftop of Australia.
The intimate village is at an altitude of 1370m, so it's not far to the ski slopes of one of Australia's top resorts, which boasts over 280ha of territory to play around on. Terrain parks offer lots of fun for snowboarders too.
When the weather warms up, it's a great time to take Kosciuszko Express Chairlift and hike to the summit of Australia's tallest mountain, Mount Kosciuszko. A glorious sea of wildflowers emerge not long after the snow melts and the views from the top across the Snowy Mountains are superb.
Back at village-level, activities include guided walks, bobsled and fishing, or check out the leisure centre. Adventure-seekers can take on the many mountain bike trails like Thredbo Valley track adventure rides, or go abseiling. In the evening, relax over a meal, or catch one of Thredbo's annual events and festivals. Find out more on the Thredbo website.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Urjit Patel will chair the first central board meeting in Kanpur on October 20, Thursday. This is the first instance that the central bank will hold the meeting in the industrial city of India's most populous state.
Additionally, this will also be the first central board meeting under the new RBI Governor Urjit Patel. The central bank governor is expected to reach Kanpur on Wednesday evening. He will hold meetings with industrialists and technocrats in the city.
However, it is still not clear whether Patel would interact with the media or not.
Earlier this month, the Monetary Policy Committee (headed by Urjit Patel) at the conclusion of its first meeting, said that it had cut the repo rate (benchmark rate) by 25 basis points (bps) to 6.25 percent. This was the first time that decisions on repo rate have been taken by a committee with three representatives from the RBI and three government-nominated members.
Till August, the RBI governor was guided by the central bank's Monetary Policy Department (MPD) and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

We know her today as Harriet Tubman, but in her lifetime she was called by many names. As General Tubman she was a Union spy. As Moses she led hundreds to freedom on the Underground Railroad. As Minty she was a slave whose spirit could not be broken. An evocative poem and iconographic animation come together to honor a woman of humble origins whose courage and compassion make her larger than life.
A 2018 Coretta Scott King (Illustrator) Honor Book - Awards
Starred Review. "Vivid background sounds and lovely violin, piano, and guitar music pair with Mia Ellis' soothing narration, which conveys the transcendent human spirit of Harriet Tubman. This rich biography, the recipient of a 2018 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor celebrates Tubman's many accomplishments and legacy." - Booklist
Starred Review. "Beyond its recognition of all that Tubman accomplished, the book serves as a powerful reminder of how all children carry within them the potential for greatness." - Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. "This lovely tribute effectively communicates Tubman's -everlasting bravery and resolve, and will inspire curious readers to learn more." - School Library Journal
Starred Review. "A memorable, lyrical reverse-chronological walk through the life of an American icon. While the text introduces readers to the details of Tubman's life, Ransome's use of watercolor...reveals Tubman's humanity, determination, drive, and hope." - Kirkus Reviews

I am trying to launch a file when a button is pressed in my java program. I have read many solutions using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec() call but I can't get it working. I can't even get a file in the root c:\ directory to open. When I try the code:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C start \"" + "C:/WORK.txt" + " \"");
All it does is open a command prompt with the title "C:/WORK.txt". Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? Could this have anything to do with me not having administrator rights?

Just a couple months after the birth of her second son, our founder and CEO, Teresa, appeared in a segment on Good Morning America. In this guest blog, she talks about the challenges of dealing with post-baby weight in the media spotlight. Here's an excerpt:
Twelve weeks after giving birth to my second son, I heard from ABC that Good Morning America wanted to do a story on my company, Mountain Mama, and on rock climbing while pregnant. With three days' notice I had to coordinate a team of climbers, pick climbing routes, and line up a harness to fit my postpartum body (thanks, Metolius!), not to mention arrange wardrobe, hair and makeup. Yet with all I had to do, what I fixated on was being on TV as a spokesperson for prenatal fitness while I still had 30 pounds left to lose.

Brendan Rodgers has all but confirmed that Mario Balotelli will be a Liverpool player soon, suggesting that the "risk" may garner a big "reward" for the club.
The Reds yesterday agreed a £16m fee with AC Milan for the former Manchester City forward, and reports suggest that he will have completed his medical on Merseyside by the end of today.
Further to this, the 24-year-old has settled on a £110,000-per-week contract – £60,000-per-week less than he was earning in Italy – with various behaviour-related clauses involved.
WANT MORE? >> Liverpool transfer news | Latest transfer news
Balotelli has become infamous for his off-field antics and sometimes questionable temperament on the pitch, which has led many to question Liverpool decision to pursue him, especially so soon after offloading another 'bad boy' in the shape of Luis Suarez.
But Rodgers – who joked about "categorically" ruling out a move for 'Balo' earlier this summer – believes that the hit-man's abilities far outweigh the possible dangers he brings:
"I can categorically tell you I can't speak about it before the player has signed," he is quoted by The Mirror.
"We always said we were working for another striker," he continued. "If we can do a deal for anyone we will.
"Sometimes you have to take a risk with people, but a lot of the time if you take that risk you get a reward for it.
"It's not easy finding new players as there's a small pool of players we could actually buy. But a lot of good work is going on."
Balotelli won the Premier League with City before joining Milan in 2013. He has since netted 30 goals in his homeland.

Lines to Love: The Lauren Willig Edition
In this year's first post, New Year's Reading Resolution, I talked about the first book that would be published in the new year that particularly excited me: The English Wife by Lauren Willig. Well, dear readers, that book came out on Tuesday and I have been snatching every moment I can to read it. Of course, it has not disappointed. In fact, on Monday I have a very special announcement to make regarding said book, so, keep your eyes peeled.
Lines to Love has been a long standing tradition here at Whiskers on Kittens. I simply enjoy the English language too much not to highlight those lines I've come across in my readings that touch me. Ordinarily, they are from books I've throughly enjoyed and included in Lines to Love for their pithy, witty, poignant, or powerful impact.
Today, I want to narrow the purview to a more specific topic. Literary allusion. Literary allusion is something we see with regularity. However, to further straiten the field of focus, I particularly love literary allusion that alludes to literary devices. How's that for specific?
I have come across several examples of this, but the one who utilizes it with aplomb is the incomparable Lauren Willig. If you have yet to read any of her books, you're in for a treat. She is best known for her delightful 12 volume Pink Carnation series that plays to the same beat of the hearts of Scarlet Pimpernel lovers everywhere (and Blackadder fans, too). If you don't know who the Scarlet Pimpernel is, then stop reading this post and immediately hasten to your nearest library to secure your copy. You shall not be disappointed.
But, back to literary devices and the allusions thereof. One of the things I appreciate about Lauren Willig is the humor she possesses in her actual writing. Whether your into the story or not (a thing which has never happened to me), you can sit back and appreciate how she plays with her words. I sited several of these instances in my first Lines to Love post, but it bares repeating:
There and theirs! Ha! Splendid. Puts a smile on my face instantly. See how she's engaging the reader, catering to his/her intellect, trotting out whimsy better than Lord Peter himself.
As I've so been enjoying her latest publication, I thought it a great idea to go through my notebooks and find the Willig lines that enchant me. In doing so, I found that she does this sort of thing with regularity. Unfortunately, I cannot find my older notebooks where I have recorded lines from her earlier books, but I do have several lines I'd like to share with you from the last few books in The Pink Carnation series, with one or two appearing from her stand-alone, The Other Daughter.
Here's the perfect one to start off with. Sets the tone superbly:
Of course, when talking of anything literary- allusions or otherwise, Augustus Whittlesby must be referenced. Almost anything he says, in fact. Honestly, from the moment he used the word sesquipedality in The Masque of the Black Tulip, my heart was irrevocably gone (props to those of you who catch that literary allusion...). The fact that he did it with such flare and drama and billowing sleeves made him all the more lovable.
Then there is the battle-axe Miss Gwen spouting all her literary knowledge with parasol precision.
And here are a few literary allusions that allude to things other than the grammatical or the lexical respectively. In truth, they're just allusions in the classical sense.
Let's start with Helen of Troy, the woman whose face, purportedly, launched a thousand ships. In fact, if the poets are to be believed- and before them, the oral traditions- she's a woman who caused rather a lot of trouble in her time.
It's an old adage that a truly educated person is someone who is familiar with both Shakespeare and the Bible. Tell me, dear readers, from which does this next allusion come?
If you were uncertain, I'll give you another hint. This next allusion also comes from the same source.
And, just to end on a high note, let's throw in a literary allusion to hell. Or, perhaps two...
I know I cited this one in the Lines to Love devoted to the Scarlet Pimpernel, but I simply adore it too much not to include it here again.
Now, dear readers, it's your turn. What are some of you favorite allusions. Have you ever come across one that just excites you to your tippy tip-toes? Please share so we can all bask in the thrill of it.
P.S. Keep your eyes open for an fun announcement coming Monday.

Fancy that – Florence gets all dressed up
PEOPLE walking past the O2 could have been forgiven for thinking Halloween had returned, after music fans raided the dress-up box.
Florence and the Machine's Dublin gig was a sell-out as their enthusiastic audience embraced the Farewell to 2012 Fancy Dress Party.
Singer Florence Welch found herself mobbed by fans as she dived among audience members in the front row and later had to be helped from the throng by two security guards.

Paulson defends bank deal
More clues to an ongoing financial mystery emerged Thursday on Capitol Hill, with former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson taking the political stage to declare that it was he who pressured Bank of America to buy Merrill Lynch in December.
Even as Paulson told lawmakers he did what he thought was best, they criticized him for overstepping his regulatory boundaries and working in the shadows on a matter they said required more oversight and public disclosure.
"In a way, the Bank of America-Merrill Lynch deal illustrates the dangers of concentrating enormous power in only one or two individuals," said Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Paulson is the third witness to testify before the committee about the blur of anxiety at the top levels of the U.S. financial regulatory agencies in the days before the government-brokered purchase of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America, which was then the nation's largest commercial bank.
Bank of America Chief Executive Ken Lewis previously told the committee that both Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke made a simple threat to him: Back out of the Merrill Lynch merger and you and Bank of America's board of directors will lose your jobs.
Last month, Bernanke denied making any such threat.
Seated alone at a long table Thursday, Paulson submitted to three and a half hours of often heated questioning, his raspy voice so low at times that lawmakers repeatedly had to remind him to lean into his microphone.
His testimony comes as Congress widens its probe into the Bank of America merger with Merrill Lynch, which took place as financial regulators scrambled to keep markets afloat. Bank of America shareholders have filed suit over the deal, saying the extent of Merrill Lynch's fourth-quarter losses was kept hidden before their vote approving the deal.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle also are examining whether last year's government intrusion helped or worsened the financial crisis.

Wow, I can't believe it's been WAY over a year since my last blog post!!
Many new changes for 2014 are coming up, but I have decided to TRY out a new pricing structure for my outdoor portrait sessions. Not everyone needs or wants a full photo session and many clients want digital files only, so here's a glimpse of a new pricing structure (TRIAL ONLY). (this does NOT apply to sessions booked prior to October 18, 2013)

Dating back to the Civil War Squamscot has been making old fashioned beverages and distributing them to the thirsty people of New England ever since. Lucky for us they also ship their product to Seattle where we found a bottle near Pike Place Market.
Again, absent from the ingredient list was any mention of ginger. Our concerns were further raised when our olfactory senses detected a weak level of spice and a comparison to the smell of Sprite was made. But any worries this would be another tame drink were alleviated after the first sip. A consistent burn begins early and continues rolling through until well past the after taste. Our tasters award a spice score of 5, which would turn out to be the highest of the day.
An amber coloring made for a less exciting cocktail when mixed into a Dark 'n' Stormy. The burn that was prevalent while solo is tempered by the rum and the drink begins to sit heavy with the taste of cane sugar. While our jury was not blown away by Squamscot, they enjoyed it declaring it "an average ginger beer".

A fun and simple DIY to make your sneakers into cute strawberries. Your shoes will never looked so yummy!
Viewing entries in
Hello again friends! Holli here- I haven't been here in a while because I was busy having a baby, which means my time for creative ventures has significantly decreased with a newborn to care for. My sewing machine didn't see any use for months and I'm finally feeling able to do a bit of sewing and creating. I'm finding I need relatively quick and easy projects though, as my three girls are keeping me quite busy.
This project, the Boho Fringe Necklace, is perfect for those who don't have a lot of time to dedicate to a project. I made the entire thing, including photographing each step, during one nap! Sometimes you just need to make something, and this is an easy project to fill that creative void. With school now out for the summer this could also be a great project to do with school age kids- it's simple and only requires minimal materials and supervision, and my favorite part- it uses up scraps or old t shirts. Upcycling for the win! Ready to get started?
Old t shirts or knit scraps
Fabric scissors or rotary cutter and mat
Ruler (I used a clear quilting ruler with my rotary cutter and mat)
Click on the photos below to see each step!
1. Gather your fabric- I used old t shirts, but jersey knit scraps will work as well.
2. Cut fabric- cut across the width of the shirts (or across direction of greatest stretch if using fabric scraps) into 1" strips.
3. Remove seams- if using t shirts, cut the ends where the seams are. Each fabric loop will now be two fabric strips.
4. Stretch- stretch each fabric strip so the edges roll, forming t shirt yarn.
5. Select string- choose a strand to be the base of the necklace. Make sure it is long enough to go over your head once tied.
6. Attach center strand- select the color for the center of your fringe necklace. Fold it in half and lay the folded loop over the base strand. Loop the two ends behind the base strand and down through the loop. Pull tight.
7. Attach the fringe- continue attaching each strand, working out from the center, until your fringe is as wide as you'd like. I used six strands on either side of the center strand- two of each color.
8. Trim- cut the ends of the fringe to the desired shape
9. Tie the ends together and rock that statement necklace!
I love how fun this necklace is- fun to make and fun to wear! You can change the look a lot by selecting different fabrics like fun prints or a monochromatic theme, by varying the lengths and shape you cut it to, and how many strands you use. You could even use a large link chain as the base and loop the strands through the links, or use a leather lace or thin rope for a totally different look! This one was quickly claimed by my 5 year old, but I'm hoping to make one for myself soon!
I'd love to see your version of the Boho Fringe necklace- take a photo and tag me on instagram @hollicoats so I can see what you make!
Whether you call it shibori or tie-dye your kids will love making their own fabric for these awesome floor poofs!
Make this cute knit cocoon dress for you and your daughter. Comfortable and stylish, perfect for hot summer days.
Printable summer camp bug stationery pages.
Be inspired by insects and things to explore under rocks, take a closer look at bugs and make fingerprint art fabric.

What Happens on Sunday by Laurie Koozer
I know an author! Well, technically we've never met in real life, but I know her via Twitter. It still counts! Laurie Koozer just published her first novel, "What Happens on Sunday", and I'm so excited to share my thoughts AND a special Q&A with Laurie!
From Amazon.com:
In Pittsburgh, what happens on football Sundays is more than just a game and for six women during the 2005 Steelers season their complicated relationships with the team provides solace, distraction and occasionally frustration.
Jen is a very young and very pregnant newlywed who worries that getting married on the same day as a Steelers loss will doom her marriage.
Megan never met a tailgate or a man she couldn't conquer but is scared of losing her best friend to a relationship.
Desiree is a brash professional struggling to deal with her husband's ex-wife and children and beginning to wonder if it's the right time to start a family of her own.
Angela is a high school senior long ago branded bad luck for the Steelers and all she wants to do is get the hell out of Pittsburgh even if it means leaving behind her best friend Robbie.
Patty, a mom who sends a pair of sexy panties to a different player every week, hasn't been on a date since her divorce five years ago.
And then there's Shannon, thirty-four and single she spends the majority of her days navigating Pittsburgh traffic and her evenings tending bar and pining after her sister's boyfriend.
As the Steelers make what seems to be an impossible run to the Super Bowl, their lives will intersect, each of them finding connections in the most unexpected places.
I love books set in or about Pittsburgh, you know that. "What Happens on Sunday" is no exception. As a lifelong Pittsburgher and a Steelers fan (duh), I could totally relate to the characters in this book and I think most other people could, too. Maybe not all of them in all situations, but I feel like I could see little bits of myself in almost all of the ladies. I could picture the characters as regular women walking around town, someone I might run into at Target or Primanti's. The story took me back to the ups and downs of the 2005 football season.
And if you love Pittsburgh, you'll get your fill with a ton of Pittsburgh references, similes, and metaphors. I felt like I was "in on the secret" because I knew all of the things and places that were in the story. Laurie did a great job of capturing the spirit of the city, both good and bad parts and stereotypes. This was a fun, easy read that I didn't want to put down, and if you're local, used to be local, like Pittsburgh for no reason, are a Steelers fan, are a female, or just need something fun to read, get it! It's only $3.99 on Amazon – about half the price of a Primanti's Capicola and Cheese. Save yourself some calories and buy this instead.
If you want to hear more about the book or follow Laurie's other adventures in reading and in the 'Burgh, check out her blog at Yinz R Readin and you can also find her on Twitter at @yinzrreadin. The ebook is available for sale on Amazon and if you're not into the ebook thing, you're in luck! You can buy a print copy at the following locations: Caliban Books in Oakland, East End Book Exchange at the Pittsburgh Public Market and Eljay's Used Books in Dormont. Support local authors and bookstores!
Laurie was also nice enough to answer some of my questions about her book (my questions in bold). Enjoy!
I know you're a native Pittsburgher. Why did you choose to write your first book about Pittsburghers and the Steelers instead of something else?
I was actually born in Central PA so even though my family moved to Western PA when I was 11, I don't know if I can claim to be a native Pittsburgher. J I have lived in the city for the past 11 years though and I think that the number one reason I wrote this book was selfishness. Like you, I love to read and as many books as I've read, I've never really found one that captured the world or the people that I know, so this was my attempt to do that.
Do you think that readers not familiar with Pittsburgh would understand and enjoy this book as much as someone from Pittsburgh?
I would hope so, but with the specific nature of the book, right now I'm not worrying too much about what Jane Smith from Kansas would think about the book and just hoping that Pittsburghers like it! Still, I think that the specific characters in the book are struggling with the sorts of conflicts that all sorts of women can relate to – love, loneliness, growing up, etc – so I definitely wouldn't rule it out from finding a wider audience.
Where did you come up with the characters?
The original two characters – Patty and Angela – developed from a Post-Gazette article I read about sports rituals and superstitions. The article talked about women mailing underwear to different players and it really got me wondering what type of person would do that. And I think we've all heard of (or maybe been) the person who has to stay out of the room during a sports game because their family thinks that they're bad luck. Usually the person is a sports fan and in on the joke but I started wondering how it would play out if the person being removed from the games wasn't a fan at all. Jen and Dave were inspired by a couple I saw in Detroit during Super Bowl XL – a husband proudly showing off the Steelers helmet he'd painted on his pregnant wife's belly. Shannon's character was inspired by a neighborhood bar where I used to hang out. Megan and Desiree were more of an amalgam of different types of people that I've known or observed over the years.
Was it as hard as I think it would be to intertwine their stories and relationships?
It actually wasn't because I had that vision from the very beginning so I kind of worked out various scenarios in my head and then worked backwards from there. I wanted their lives to connect or even collide but I also wanted to have character arcs that stood on their own. More than anything, I wanted it to be reflective of the very real "it's a small world" thing that is always at play in Pittsburgh where you almost always have a mutual connection to strangers if you dig deep enough. I have to say that some of my favorite scenes to write were the ones where we see the same incident from multiple points of view – like that infamous night at The Locker Room and especially at Jen's wedding.
Which one of your characters would you most and least like to be friends with and why?
I feel like I could be friends with all of my characters, but if I have to choose I would say that I probably have the least in common with Jen and that if Patty could ever see fit to leave her desk and take a lunch out sometime, I would love to be her office lady lunch buddy!
How much studying did you have to do on the Steelers' 2005 season to get all of the facts right?
I don't know if studying is the right word but I have a binder with recaps of every game and all kinds of articles about different storylines that were going on that year, so yeah I definitely did my homework, even down to researching what weather Pittsburgh was having during specific games that year. And it wasn't just the Steelers season I had to research – I started writing in 2006 so everything was very fresh to me but as the years went by I started adding a lot of pop culture and current event facts to my 2005 binder so that I could stay accurate. It's funny to me that there's a MySpace reference in the book because that seems pretty quaint now but back then it was pretty big.
Hines Ward or Troy Polamalu?
Do you have any plans to write a sequel? I would love to know what happens to all of the characters after the Super Bowl!
I'm glad you asked that question. A lot of people are asking me that and I will take that as a very good sign about the success of these characters and the book itself. I'm definitely not done with these women – how that is going to play out I'm not sure yet because with working full-time and kids I don't get as much writing time as I used to but yeah, there's definitely a lot more that happens to these characters after Super Bowl XL.
What is your second favorite (assuming yours is your favorite) book set in Pittsburgh?
Ah, I can't narrow it down so I will say that my second favorite Pittsburgh-set book is a three-way tie between An American Childhood (Annie Dillard), The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Stephen Chbosky) and Wonder Boys (Michael Chabon).
Lastly, is that your butt on the cover?
No, but I'm flattered that you think it is. The identity of that front cover butt is supposed to be top-secret but unfortunately I think we messed up when we took my three-year-old on the photo shoot because as soon as she saw the cover she yelled "That's XX!!!" So yeah, if you really want to know who that butt belongs to you'll have to ask her, because I swore I'd never tell.
Thanks again to Laurie for the interview and for writing a great book n'at!
Fleeting Pages – A Pop-Up Bookstore in Pittsburgh
If you don't live under a rock, I'm sure you know that a very large number of Borders bookstores have closed in the past several months. One of the targeted stores was the Borders located in East Liberty (in Pittsburgh, PA, if you're not from around these parts). A local woman came up with the idea to open a temporary bookstore in the empty space that would focus primarily on local authors or indie authors rather than the mainsteam authors and books that the "big box" bookstores carry. The store will also hold evening events such as documentary screenings, author readings, et cetera.
Check out this article that was in the Pittsburgh City Paper today about Fleeting Pages: Old East Liberty Borders gets new life as a pop-up bookstore. The new store opens on May 7th and will be open for four weeks. Will you be there? I definitely want to check it out! This is a really interesting concept and I hope she finds much success in those few weeks. Maybe that will lead to something else in the future, like a permanent storefront somewhere.

American Rust by Philipp Meyer
A couple months back, I posted about a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article regarding books about/set in Pittsburgh. I had posted a link to the article on Twitter and one of my local Twitter friends (I'm sorry – I can't remember who and I can't find the conversation!) mentioned that they read this book and recommended it. I downloaded it to my Kindle awhile ago and just finally got around to reading it.
"American Rust" is a novel set in the fictional town of Buell, Pennsylvania in Fayette County (geographically, it's right around here). For those who don't know, Pittsburgh falls into a region of the country commonly referred to as the "Rust Belt", which refers to the abandoned and rusted mills and factories that closed up in the 1970′s due to the manufacturing industry decline.
The story is about two young men in their early 20′s – Isaac, an intelligent but quiet kid who desperately wants to get out of Buell and make a life for himself elsewhere, like his sister did by leaving and going to Yale, and Poe (that's his last name), who was a football star in high school but opted not to go to college (when he could have) and is basically stuck in the little town with no future ahead of him. One night, Isaac and Poe visit an abandoned plant and get into an altercation with some squatters and one of them ends up dead at the hands of, surprisingly, Isaac.
The local police captain, who also happens to have a "personal" relationship with Poe's mother, suspects that Isaac and Poe has something to do with it, but a witness fingers Poe as the suspect in the man's death. Isaac decides it's finally time for him to leave town so they don't get caught, but Poe stays behind and is taken to jail for a crime that he did not commit (this occurs after Isaac takes off). As Isaac makes his journey to California to start his life over, he encounters some difficult situations (and people) along the way. Poe is put in jail and struggles with the decision about whether or not he'll admit to anyone that it wasn't him that killed the man.
While I did like the story and think it was interesting, I did have a few issues with this book. First, I feel like it took me FOREVER to read. The Kindle tells you what percentage of the book you've read and it just felt like it took me a lot longer than most books do. Second, I'm not sure if this was done on purpose or if it was just a thing with the electronic version of the book, but the punctuation was horrible. That leads into my third issue, that I felt like the characters were so stereotypical and I found it a tiny bit offensive. By stereotypical, I mean that they were presented as fairly poor, not very intelligent (except Isaac, but he had some other issues), lazy, unsophisticated, and just very blue-collar. I have nothing against people from Fayette or any of the other outlying, rural areas around Pittsburgh and I'm not saying that stereotype is true, and I understand that they may not be like someone like me, who works in downtown in a corporate environment and is used to the city/suburban environment, but I just don't want readers from outside of Pittsburgh to think that all Pittsburghers are like that. We're not. This isn't me bashing the author or how he chose to create the characters, but I'm just sayin'. Do yinz guys know what I mean n'at?
On the other hand, I love stuff about Pittsburgh and liked being able to picture the areas that they referenced in the book. Some of the towns mentioned were Donora, Charleroi, Elizabeth, Uniontown, and probably a few more that I can't remember.
Philipp Meyer actually is NOT from Pittsburgh, but from Baltimore, but apparently has friends and family who live in the area and that's why he chose to base it here. He says he had similar experiences in the area where he grew up. This is his only book so far.
'Burgh Books
There was recently an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette titled "25 novels use Western Pennsylvania as a setting in 2009" that caught my eye. I've never read any novels that used Pittsburgh as a setting, although I've seen a bunch of movies that have (I'm on a kick – my Netflix queue is filled with Pittsburgh movies right now). When I put this link out on Twitter, I was informed that one of the ones on the list, "American Rust", was definitely worth a read. Some of the others on the list look interesting to me, especially the ones written by local doctors. If you're a local music fan, you may be interested in the two novels written by singer-songwriter Bill Deasy.
There have been popular books in the past that were based in Pittsburgh, such as "Mysteries of Pittsburgh", which became more well known when the actress Sienna Miller came to Pittsburgh to film the movie and said some lovely things about the town. I haven't read the book (or seen the movie), but someday would like to.
If you just type the word "Pittsburgh" into the Amazon book search bar, over 144,000 results come up (many are about Pittsburgh history or are photo books, but there is definitely something for everybody). I'm sure that there are so many good books in that list that have gone under the radar. What books have you read that are either by a Pittsburgh author or are set in the Western Pennsylvania area? If it's something you liked, pass the word along… support your local authors and read local!

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of three polymeric peroxides of styrene monomers with substituents in the para position are discussed. NMR spectroscopy revealed the alternating copolymer structure with labile peroxy bonds (-O-O-) in their main chain. The thermal reactivity of the polymers was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. The measured heat of degradation of these polymers is nearly the same as that of poly(styrene peroxide). The mechanism of the primary exothermic degradation has been substantiated by thermochemical calculations. The chain dynamics studies of these polyperoxides in terms of C-13 spin-lattice relaxation time (T-1) have been carried out to understand their main chain flexibility. The temperature dependence of correlation time has been utilized for the determination of the activation energy for the overall segmental motion and internal group rotation. Their flexibility in terms of glass transition temperature (T-g) have been examined. The flexibility trend observed in solution, parallels that in the bulk.

An alleged bid to kill a shooting victim was carried out in revenge for an earlier fight at the same house in Cookstown, the High Court heard on Monday.
A 35-year-old man was blasted in both ankles after two masked intruders forced their way into property in the Drumcree area last month.
Mark Hay, 32, of Beechway in the town, faces charges of attempted murder, threats to kill, aggravated burglary, and possession of a firearm.
He denies any involvement in the attack on June 5, insisting it was a case of mistaken identity.
Hay was refused bail, however, due to the risk of further offences being committed.
The court heard two men wearing balaclavas went into the house where a party had been held.
Robin Steer, prosecuting, claimed one of them was recognised before a woman removed Hay's mask.
He alleged that the accused warned her: "Sit the f*** down or you're getting shot next."
Hay then walked forward and shot the victim in both ankles with a handgun, the prosecutor claimed.
Madam Justice McBride was told both intruders fled, being driven from the scene in a waiting car.
Disclosing the suspected reasons for the attack, Mr Steer said the victim had been in a fight earlier that day with the second, unnamed attacker.
"The other male received a black eye as a result of that; it appears to be a revenge attack for that," he added.
According to the prosecutor both the shooting victim and the woman picked out Hay as being the gunman during an identification process. The weapon used has not been recovered.
Hay handed himself in to police on June 21, but insisted he was not involved.
During interviews he stated: "It wasn't me, I was at my mother's all day. This is a case of mistaken identity."
Defence counsel Michael Forde argued that his client is not forensically linked, and questioned the reliability of the witness identification.
"There are live issues of collusion and contamination which will be dealt with if this matter goes to trial," he told the court.
"The applicant's case is quite clear: he did not fire the gun, he did not hold the gun, he simply wasn't present."
But denying bail based on concerns about possible re-offending, the judge said: "I'm not satisfied there are any conditions I could impose which would reduce or extinguish that risk."
At an earlier hearing at Dungannon Magistrates Court, Judge John Meehan, also denied bail.
Judge Meehan said: "The defendant has a bad record for high levels of violence. The risk of interference with witnesses is acute, given this is a high violence offender."
Hay was remanded to appear again by video on July 20.

Venison is a term that refers to the meat butchered from a deer. It may be available by hunting, as well as commercially at grocery stores or in restaurants; however, its exact availability will usually depend on the country or region's deer population and meat inspection and sales regulations. Deer meat tends to be lean and can be used in a variety of culinary dishes, but due to its limited availability in some areas, it is often used in items that preserve the meat rather than serving it fresh. Venison sticks, a snack product made from dehydrated venison shaped into thin pieces, is a common use for deer meat because it can be stored indefinitely. The product is often available commercially or can be made by hand at home.
The process of making venison sticks generally begins with mixing together ground venison with curing mix. A curing mix can either be homemade or purchased ready-made and typically contains a mixture of salt, sugar, and nitrate. These ingredients are primarily used to help prevent oxidation and bacteria growth in the meat during the drying process. It may take up to three days for the active ingredients in the curing mix to take effect, so the ground venison and curing mix are often combined and refrigerated, then periodically mixed again to evenly distribute the curing mix among the venison, prior to making the sticks.
Once the venison meat has been cured, it is then shaped into sticks. This is often done with the use of an attachment that can be used with a meat grinder to mold the meat into the preferred shape. There are also specialty devices made specifically for jerky and other snack making that can also work at squeezing the venison into a tightly packed stick shape. Shaping venison sticks by hand can be difficult because the shapes by not be uniform or tightly packed enough, making it hard for them to dry evenly. Once the meat is shaped into sticks, it is then dried in an oven set on a low temperature or commercial food dehydrator for anywhere from four to eight hours or until the venison meat is completely dried through.
Although venison sticks can be made with just venison meat and curing mix, many recipes call for other ingredients to add more flavor. Common flavor variations include garlic, chili peppers for spicy versions, or maple syrup for sweeter versions. These additional are usually added into the venison at the same time as the curing mix so that their flavors have time to infuse the meat.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in the sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.
Four caskets. Two bodies.
Jessica and Jude Day witness their funeral and that of their parents a few yards away from mourning family and friends. Stripped of the only life they've ever known, the Days say goodbye to San Francisco forever.
Four months later, two thirty-year-old misfits with elite self-defense skills and penchants for alcohol, sex, and trouble arrive like an earthquake to Peaceful Woods, a retirement community in Omaha, Nebraska, that thrives on rules and gossip. Welcome home, Jackson and Jillian Knight.
Jackson celebrates his new beginning by embracing his job and wiping his cavalier past clean with a temporary oath of celibacy. But Jillian's past is branded into her soul—the deaths, the insanity, Dr. Luke Jones, and the need to make her lovers bleed. Her chance for redemption comes in the form of a next door neighbor, one Senior Master Sergeant Monaghan. He's sexy, dangerously alluring, and riddled with emotional issues from years of service. He's also … So. Damn. Grumpy.
Their mission is simple: Let go, start over, don't kill anyone, and pray that nobody wakes the dead.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
Jessica's smile slipped. "If I told you then I'd have to kill you."
"So you're a secret agent?"
She flipped onto her stomach, resting her chin on her crossed arms. "If I said yes then it would no longer be a secret. Come on, Jones, you're losing your focus. Don't let me feel smarter than you or our time together will be over and I rather like hanging out here."
"Luke," he corrected.
"I mean it!" Luke showed another rare moment of teetering emotion.
Jessica chuckled. "What are the chances of us having sex? I've never done it missionary, but you could possibly counsel me through it."
He refocused on his crossword puzzle, filling in a word in pen. "Less than zero percent."
"So, not in my favor, eh?
"Why not missionary?"
Jessica smiled in delight that Luke continued with the topic of conversation. "I'm sure you already know, but if you want me to say I need control, then sure, I need control. But the truth is I'd control any sex position you want to put me in." Jessica winked as Luke gave her a fleeting glance. "I just don't want you thinking you have control, even if I know it's not the case. Pisses me off to see the smirk on a guy's face when he thinks he has control."
"Tell me why you need control." Luke continued with his crossword.
"In bed?"
"Someone has to have it."
"Because someone initiates it."
"So if I initiate sex with you will I have control?"
"There's only one way to find out." Jessica wiggled her eyebrows at an ill-humored Luke.

Just reading the book blurb should let you know that this is not going to be your average romance novel, In fact, although there are some super steamy s3x scenes, I would hazard to say this is just one big mind f*ck given to us by Jewel E. Ann. But, oh, what a lovely ride she takes us on.
Four graves, four caskets, two bodies. That's what the teaser says. Prepare yourself for a journey of mystery, heartbreak, violence, humor and love. Something bizarre is happening in the world of the Day siblings. Enough so that they change their names to Jack and Jillian Knight. Both are quirky. Both are extremely well trained fighters. And both have a wicked sense of humor!
This is one of those books that you have to experience straight through. To tell much more about the book, will ruin it for the reader. I can tell you this: the little voices that talk in Jewel's head are some twisted, messed up demons. I can only surmise that she writes down exactly what they tell her and we get to enjoy the carnival ride she takes us on. Excellent writing, giving us present and flashback timelines to fill in the story. I'm still not sure what it is I read, but it's sticking to me like glue.
Fair warning: the story has more to tell. Book 2 is releasing later this fall. Buy this one now though. Top read of 2015 for me.
*I received an ARC of this title for an honest review.
Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor. With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.
After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.
When she's not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.

In the game's most crucial moment, Mike Yen said something important during a time out.
The Aiea coach can't remember what that was, but his wisdom paid dividends. After watching Pearl City rally to within three points with 3:42 left, Aiea closed out the game with a 16-8 run to secure a tumultuous 50-39 win last night.
The victory over their rivals in the Oahu Interscholastic Association Red West pushed Na Alii to 7-3, nudging them closer to a potential first-round bye in the playoffs.
Jazmine Pahukoa-Malia's 3-pointer -- her first field goal -- with 3:42 left in the game brought Pearl City within 34-31. Yen called time out to give his team a clear reminder, sort of.
"I don't remember what I said. I think I told them to play aggressive, to not play scared," said Yen, shrugging his shoulders.
"Coach said it was our fouls that let them back in the game," said center Capri Holiona, who was a force for Aiea with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Following the time out, Natasha Helsham hit a pull-up bank shot, and Holiona hustled for a follow shot to spark Aiea's game-closing run.
Helsham finished with 14 points, but her defensive work against Pahukoa-Malia was stellar.
Pahukoa-Malia finished with just nine points on 2-for-15 shooting, but her defense on Helsham was effective, as well. Helsham shot just 4-for-15 from the field as both teams were in no-holds barred mode.
Pearl City dropped to 7-4 in league play despite 12 points by Kaiona Auyong. The Chargers were limited to 8-for-44 shooting (18 percent) against Aiea's man-to-man and 2-3 zone defenses.
"We had to stop 14 and 15," Pearl City coach Mike Morton said of Helsham and Holiona. "But we didn't come out ready. Their other big girls stepped up."
Nohe Fonoti (seven points, six boards), Carol Sio (eight rebounds) and Emily Tausaga (five boards) helped Aiea command the key.
A boisterous senior-night crowd of about 500 at Aiea saw the home team bolt to a 15-4 run midway through the first half. Aiea's depth in the low post gave the Chargers some trouble as Na Alii took a 20-8 lead.
Aiea, which outrebounded Pearl City 42-33, was in foul trouble for most of the second quarter. The Chargers scored seven points from the free-throw line in the second and pulled within 24-17 at intermission.

The Fernando is the brainchild of Employees Only, the celebrated West Village cocktail bar owned and operated by Dushan Zaric, Jason Kosmas et al. According to their excellent cocktail book, this apéritif pays tribute to Italian gastronomy.
The primary ingredient, Fernet-Branca, is designed to be consumed as a postprandial digestivo. Once upon a time, Fernet was thought to be good for what ails ya: it was believed to cure upset stomachs, menstrual cramps, baby colic, and – get this – cholera. The stuff is made from 30 different roots and herbs, including gentian, myrrh, chamomile, saffron and rhubarb; and aged in Slovenian oak vats for one year before being bottled at a healthy 80 proof. Porca l'oca!
Doing a shot of Fernet-Branca is analogous to sleeping soundly in your bed and then having your 2 year old come out of nowhere and stomp on your groin. It has a formidable taste. Quite pungent; it stings the tongue – in a good way. They've done studies you know. 60% of the time, it tastes good every time. It is at once bitter, sweet, herbaceous and spicy; redolent of menthol and eucalyptus. On first encounter, some have described the taste as "mouthwash with delusions of grandeur." Oh my.
Well, the Argentinians love it – they drink more Fernet-Branca than anyone else in the world. In fact, it was so popular that the Branca family set up a distillery in Buenos Aires in 1935. Nowadays, their preferred way to administer this amaro is to mix it with Coca-Cola. Fernet with Coke, or "Fernando" as it is colloquially known, was created in Córdoba in the late 80s; however, its popularity quickly spread to the rest of the country. Given that the Employees Only cocktail shares the same moniker, one can only assume that its name was inspired by this Argentine staple. That, or the EO guys are massive ABBA fans.
- 1¼ oz. Fernet Branca
- 1¾ oz. Martini & Rossi Vermouth Bianco
- ¾ oz. Galliano l'Autentico
Add everything to a mixing glass along with some ice and stir whilst maintaining a stoic and confident expression on your face. I suggest raising one eyebrow slightly. Once you have reached optimal chill and dilution, strain the elixir into a chilled cocktail glass. Place a fresh mint sprig into the palm of your hand and give it a good smack to release the aromatic mint oils. Gently place the mint on the surface of the cocktail… gentle… gentle! Okay, now stand back and marvel.
There might be some witchcraft going on here. Fernet has a somewhat caustic reputation for being a bully and not playing nice with other flavours at the playground – it dominates everything it touches. But not so here. To my befuddlement, the prevalent flavours are chocolate (!) and botanicals, along with a hint of vanilla, giving way to a wonderfully bitter finish. The Fernet-Branca lends an intricate vibrancy to the drink and no doubt contributes to its silky, rich texture. Stupendous. How something so overbearingly bitter like Fernet can be tamed is a testimony to the deft skills of the mixologist. I salute the fellas at Employees Only for this contribution to the "great pageant of American [and Canadian] intoxication."
I ❤ bitter.

Playbill reports that Perfect is set to write the score for a new musical adaptation of Tim Burton's 1988 cult comedy-fantasy hit film Beetlejuice, alongside book writers Scott Brown and Anthony King. Brown and King wrote the off-Broadway hit comedy Gutenberg! The Musical! The Beetlejuice musical is currently being developed by Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures, and is set for a staged developmental reading in May. Perfect's involvement was revealed through an Actors' Equity casting notice, which also listed double Tony nominee Alex Timbers as director, and triple Tony nominee Christopher Fitzgerald as the actor in the title role. Perfect is known best for his performances as Mick Holland in Offspring, but he started his career in musical theatre and cabaret, writing his own satirical and darkly funny material. He wrote the score for Shane Warne: The Musical, and also contributed songs to Strictly Ballroom: The Musical, including the entirely rewritten opening number for the Melbourne season. But those hoping to see Perfect's songs on the Great White Way may still have quite a wait ahead of them: Broadway musicals can take several years to develop and are notoriously difficult to mount. And given that this is the first major workshop of the material, a fully-staged production, either on Broadway or out-of-town, may still be quite a way off.

Hi! I'm Albert Wilson, and only joined Auckland Choral in 2018, as a Tenor.
Originally from South Africa, I have sung in choirs since I can remember, therefore it was only natural to join a choir again and continue this passion, when I relocated to New Zealand.
Choral music is so much more than singing… It creates a sense of belonging and community - being part of something special and inspiring. Therefore, being part of Auckland Choral is truly special!
With its rich history, committed leadership and world-class conductor, I feel extremely honoured to sing in the choir, especially at the centenary celebration of Handel's Messiah. Performing this piece is a dream come true, and I feel very lucky to be part of it.

As if losing your job isn't bad enough, everyone knows that this tragedy can easily cause a chain of very unfortunate events. Losing your job means losing your hard cash. It means giving up on a lifestyle, missing a planned vacation for sudden lack of funds. It can mean losing your home to foreclosures, loan restructuring. An updated intro to elementary how to write an excuse note for school strategies. Worse, it can ruin romantic relationships and it can wreak much havoc in your household. Yes, losing your job can lead a new divorce.

'Dr. Dodgeball' features a leader who can revive team mates. In this game when players are hit they either sit or lay down and look ahead to their doctor to revive them. Once revived they and are certain to get up and play again. This makes my doctor the primary target and also can either let the doctors be known end in or ensure that a secret so the opposing team has to find it out themselves. 'Fake Doctors' might be a tactic actually be used by teams support protect the identity of their own doctor, becoming games end quite quickly once a team's doctor is around. The game ends once one side's players are all out, or sometimes when their doctor is from.
I've always wondered what costs much more on doctors excuses – the paper, the ink, or that wonderful script doctors love to? Maybe it's that whole two minutes of his time using all that stored knowledge to decide, yup, he puked smaller shoes, now I'll should write that note so i can pay someone totally them for me.

Turnitin Announces "Grade Anything" Features for Evaluating All Types of Student Work

If previously I've told a lot of things about Gorontalo Province. In the past, Gorontalo Province is a part of North Sulawesi. But now, it has become new province. This time, I just tell a little story about North Sulawesi province, especially Manado and Bitung. Manado is the capital city of North Sulawesi province, the city is located in Manado Gulf, and is surrounded by hills and rows of mountains: Mount Lokon, Mount Klabat, and Mount Mahawu.
Who does not know Bunaken and Lake Tondano. In Manado, we can enjoy and explore the beauty of the underwater paradise of Bunaken. Unfortunately, I only could see it from a distance. That's because I did not have a lot of time there. I had to work in totality there. Perhaps, if one day there is a chance again I wish I could see the beauty of Bunaken as well as I could see the beauty of an underwater paradise at the forefront of Indonesia in Anambas.
In Manado, I just tasted a plate of Tinutuan consisting of assorted vegetables. This food is known as Manado porridge. Moreover, I also had an opportunity to see Bunaken from distance when I ate at a restaurant on the seafront. Restaurant is quite well known and serves very tasty seafood cuisine. In addition to dishes with seafood theme. Besides that, I also tasted delicious Manado klapertaart in one of famous Klapertaart shops.
