The Relation of Theories of Jurisprudence to International Politics and Law
Anthony D'Amato
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
January 12, 2011
Washington and Lee Law Review, Vol. 27, 1970
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 10-91
In this essay we shall be concerned with the real world relevance of theories of international law; that is, with the question of the theories themselves as a factor in international decision-making. To do this it is first necessary to review briefly the substance of the jurisprudential debate among legal scholars, then to view some basic jurisprudential ideas as factors in international views of "law," and finally to reach the question of the operative difference a study of these theories might make in world politics

Beautiful but be careful
"Great shoe, the gold shows up a lot more in person. I love the way they look, just be sure when you get them to check the fabric in the back that is next to the zip - the fabric on one of mine was shorter than the other and the zip tore my heel open on that side! Other side perfect!"

great look but comfy?
"so these are supper cute, actually cuter in person, however not so comfy. Perhaps it's just the inverted wedge style? I mean that is going to take getting used to. On the plus side I do feel the shoe is secure on my foot and I'm not going to fall. I will be keeping these, just not walking in them so much."

It seems like everyone drives to their destination for Memorial Day, but flies for Thanksgiving which is odd considering you get more time off for Thanksgiving
. Maybe we all just live really far from our families.
Or maybe you work the day before Thanksgiving until 5 so you dont have time to drive halfway across anywhere to get where you need to be the next day?ReplyCancel
I'm stuck in a tourist hotbed right now. I'd love to drive somewhere else where there aren't any tourists. They drive me nuts.ReplyCancel
Driving around at the beginning of summer is far better than driving around at the end of November.ReplyCancel
Is this your camping holiday like last week was for us? That would make sense thenReplyCancel
Good call, TTM. The highway heading north by me is jam packed with RVs and trailers. A lot of Natural Lights are gonna lose their lives in assorted Midwest campgrounds this weekend.ReplyCancel
Memorial day weekend is a getaway weekend- people keep it simple and cheap and just go within driving distance by choice. Thankgiving is family and more likely to require flying. Not to hard to figure out.ReplyCancel
@writergirl, I actually kind of love the tourists in my town. When else would I stick sweaty T-shirts up tailpipes of idling tour buses?ReplyCancel
Okay, since the video post is a memorial to someone super cool, I will just do a quick reminder about book club. (I know, I know, but it IS OT!!), last day for suggestions! Voting starts tomorrow! Choice announced on Sunday night and then I shut up about it until just before June 8. Yay!!

Like many many people, we know too many deceased young and old military members. Yes, we reflect on their significant contribution on this weekend but we do that all year as well. We also picnic, BBQ, drink, and camp. Nothing creepy about it. Life goes on.ReplyCancel
memorial day signals the death of winter/coldness. we cant WAIT to jump in a car…ROOOOOAD TRIIIIP!

GDB 20: Smid wings it
Jason Gregor
November 20 2008 12:04PM
You will see another new wrinkle tonight for the Oilers. For the first time in his NHL career, Ladislav Smid will suit up on offence. He will play with Brodziak and Pouliot on the fourth line.
Smid always plays with emotion. Does he make the right decision all of the time? No. But his effort is always there. His robust style is what the Oilers need on their fourth line, and Smid is a good enough skater that in theory he should be able to be effective on the forecheck.
But the other areas of the job will be difficult for him. I sat down with Smid after he fielded questions from the largest scrum of reporters he had seen in his young career.
Gregor: Sniper Smid, is that your name now that you are a forward? Smid: Yeah, pretty much... the guys will have to get used to the new name. Gregor: Do you remember the last time you scored a goal? Smid: No... Ahhh no... Well, well. No, it's been too long. (Laughs) Gregor: Do you remember the last time you played forward? Smid: Third grade. I was about seven. That's pretty impressive, eh! Gregor: Were you centre or winger? Smid: I was centre, top goal scorer on my team actually. Then they put me on defence, because my Dad played defence for the Czech Republic national team. Maybe if I was still a centreman, I would be a top scorer. You never know. (Laughs again). Gregor: You seem excited, but what is going to be the biggest challenge? Smid: I am excited, but still I'm very nervous like usual. Defensively there are lots of new things. I'm used to being in the corners and in front of the net. Now I have to cover their D, and they are the best in the league, so it will be different, but I have to deal with it and hopefully I will do well. Gregor: Your coach talked about players to compete every shift. You have shown that willingness as a D-man. Is your plan to just dump and chase and hopefully dish out some hits? Smid: Yes, that's the idea that MacT had. I have to pressure their D and see what happens. Gregor: Did you practice tipping pucks or deflecting pucks in practice today? Smid: I'm really bad at that. I'm just going to stand in front of the net and hope it goes in. I don't know how guys do it. It is a miracle to me if I can tip it. If it happens it is a miracle.
You have to like Smid's honesty. You couldn't wipe the smile off his face today. He just wants to play. He was asked if he thought about saying no to the idea when MacTavish approached him, "Are you crazy? This is the NHL, I just want to play."
Later on when everyone was gone, Smid admitted to me that Detroit might not be the best team to get used to playing forward against. They are the best in the league and it will be a challenge.
Then I asked him, "When you go out, do you try and talk to the best looking girl or just an average one? Testing yourself against the best is always more rewarding." He laughed in agreement. "That is very true. Hopefully I don't get shot down tonight."
Smid is one of the funnier guys to talk with. He doesn't shy away from most questions, and he seems like he really enjoys being in the NHL. It will be interesting to see if he still enjoys it after going up against Lidstrom, Rafalski and the rest of the Detroit D tonight.
—Listen to Gregor weekdays from 3 to 6pm on TEAM 1260 or online at www.justagame.ca.
You have to give him credit - he probably thinks MacT is on qualudes but he is willing to do whatever it takes to play night to night.
Love the guy.
November 20 2008, 12:33PM
With all due respect to Smid because he goes flat out every shift what the hell does this say about the depth in our organization OR the insanity behind this three goalie bullshit that's costing us a roster spot.
Why not? Not like the 4th line sees ice time anyway, and maybe Smid's energy will really do something, and best case scenario, EDM has their own version of Byfuglen.
I say, BRING IT.
I'm tired of watching Stortini basically die during "fights" or watching him make the worst turn over you saw since your mom tried that Rachel Ray recepie.
Maybe this is the example MacT is looking for too. He has been ranting about changing/modifying your game to stay in the line-up.
November 20 2008, 12:50PM
Yup.. Gotta love a guy who's willing to do anything for the team and is happy to do it.
Are the guys on the farm so bad that they wouldn't bring someone up? Gregor, is there a reason we can't bring someone up or is this Mac T's gut telling him he should do this. I'm not knocking Smid and I hope tomorrow we're talking about how great he was but what does this say about our depth? Sitting Huggy bear against the Wings is not a bad call though.
Smid would be a lot easier to like if he wasn't acquired for Pronger.
Lupul, on the other hand, always seemed like a tool.
If you are Brule or Schremp, it must be nice to know that once the Oilers are unhappy with their current F roster AND the D can't be moved to the wing AND the 15 goalies can't find non-goalie skates AND that McDonalds Junior Oiler of the game can't be signed to a one game contact
you might get a shot with the big club.
November 20 2008, 01:34PM
I always liked Smid. Still do. Might still turn out to be a really good defenceman.
He's no Pronger but...
Of course MacTavish is barking mad.
Come to think of it, MacTavish is starting to get really entertaining lately.
November 20 2008, 01:38PM
"If you are Brule or Schremp, it must be nice to know that once the Oilers are unhappy with their current F roster AND the D can't be moved to the wing AND the 15 goalies can't find non-goalie skates AND that McDonalds Junior Oiler of the game can't be signed to a one game contact THEN you might get a shot with the big club."
My current over/under for MacT being sacked is January 1. The way he's currently "coaching", Brule and Schremp are better off in Springfield.
November 20 2008, 01:38PM
Jason - Any idea what's going on between Lowe/Tambellini/MacTavish? The only reason I can see for putting Smid in a forward spot over Boulerice/Stortini (to crash and bang yet, which is supposed to be their game) is that he basically has no confidence in those other two players, which would suggest that the coaching staff and the GM aren't close to being on the same page. Any insight to offer?
This is a great idea, Smid at least plays with an edge and can skate as good as anyone. All he has to do is forecheck, hit and create energy, its not like they expect him to score a ton of goals.
Smid 4 Detroit 2, I hope this works out for him and the Oilers. It would be nice if he came in and had the same inpact that Glenx did. Smid can skate, hit mix it up and fight as good as Glenx so maybe there is something to this. Good luck kid.
November 20 2008, 02:01PM
Well, it's nice to know there's a little less insanity on this article's comments compared to the last one. As for moving from D to 4th-line winger, you don't lose very much. D are traditionally responsible defensively (because the position tells what they do) and you're not really expecting a lot of offense out of them on a checking line. It's not an uncommon move either, as both Strudwick and Staios have played forward positions in their careers, and even I can remember being moved back and forth from D to wing back in the juniors.
The last thing Smid is going to worry about is scoring goals tonight. Let's see if he gets under the skin of Lidstrom or Rafalski.
November 20 2008, 02:31PM
In regards to Shremp and Brule, their style of game is not fitting for a fourth line role. They are not bangers and crashers (Brule is a banger but at 180lbs he's not going to bowl over a 225lbs d-man). They are offensive guys that need to be played in offensive roles to make an impact. Shremp and Brule on the fourth line playing 6mins is not good development.
Smid offers a defensively sound game, a big body in the corners and he plays with a lot of JAM.
To TOP it off he's EXCITED! Enthusiasm is infectious like that growth on Wayne's little Dave Semenko. He will be a spark no matter what.
You never know what someone is capable of until you challenge them. Tonight is a challenge.
Ya, I think he's gonna be fine...I mean come on it's our 4th line. But, what does this say about the other 2 guys? Total lack of confidence? I don't remember any games last quarter of last season when A) storts didn't play and B) that that line wasn't a factor. I dunno, I guess I'll have to wait and see.
Hey, this may work, or it may not, but than again not much has worked this year. Id like to see him with Boulerice and Stortini as a crash and bang line. Mac T might have made some mistakes in playing players in the wrong position and situation, but you have to give him credit at least he is trying to get this straightened out. One more thing .... "Lets go Alouettes"
all this does is give more flexibility to the coach in the game.
If Smid is outclassed then they have a seventh D and someone else will play some shifts with the grinders.
If Smid is effective then MacT looks like a genius.
I am happy that Smid is so happy to play, but I can't believe the circus this team is turning into. What's next? Penner is big so put him in goalie equipment because he'll cover most of the net? You can't say MacTavish is feeling the heat and we can all see it now as he makes moves like this one. Based on results people can say he is a genius or a mad man, but the fact remains it is a desperation move.
^^^ You can't say MacTavish [b]isn't[/b] feeling the heat and we can all see it now as he makes moves like this one.
November 20 2008, 03:56PM
I dunno why everyone is getting so worked up about Smidder playing forward...what's it gonna hurt? He skates well, plays with edge and is a pretty big body to move off the puck. Honestly...between Stortini/Boulerice...I'd rather see what Smid can do...since we don't really need to fight anyone against Detroit...or hug, as the case may be.

Seriously, the uninformed can carp about this decision all they want, but I think I back MacT here. Maybe Smid doesn't score a goal tonight, but if he finishes at +1 on the night, that's a heck of a lot better than one of those other four mentioned guys finishing at -2.

Kayzee: No 'yesbutts'. He's down the road. We're done here. And none too soon, I must say. That lack of class, the Oilers don't need.
November 20 2008, 06:09PM
I posted this in the last Detroit blog, but I posted in the middle of the game and so I don't think anyone saw it. I was thinking . . .
You remember back in the 80's and even the 90's how much excitement and hype there was around Soviet players who wanted to defect? I think the NHL should bring a little of that back and implement a 'defection rule' into the system. Picture it. Detroit on the rush. Hossa charging down the wing. He glances over to MacT, who gives him the wink. A subtle signal has an Oiler jumping back onto the bench as Hossa suddenly hits the brakes and heads back the other direction. Conklin looks first confused, then horrified as realization strikes home . . . "Defection!" But it's far too late. The Detroit defence is hopelessly out of position and the only thing between Hossa and the back of the net is the Oilers old cast-off netminder. As Hossa buries a three-deke 5-star backhand, he is immediately surrounded by Boulerice, Huggy-Bear, and even SMac whose mysterious reactivation is suddenly explained as Hossa is safely escorted to the Oilers bench amidst much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Detroit contingent. Ah, what it might be like . . .
November 20 2008, 06:15PM
The first reason why they haven't brought up anyone is because they don't have that roster spot. They could have kept SMID on IR, but he had been practicing and when that happens for more than two days, the league can get suspicious that they are HIDING a guy a on the IR.
You wouldn't bring Schremp and play him on the 4th line. Makes no sense. I expect them to call up Brule early next week. They don't play until Wednesday so there would be no point in doing it when Boulerice clears waivers on Saturday.
As for Stortini, yes they aren't enamoured with him. Detroit is not a team where you need a fighter/hugger so Smid coming in tonight is because Detroit is a soft team. I know they like that Smid will mix it up physically, but whether he can do anything productive remains to be seen.
Stortini has lost his confidence when it comes to fighting. And that is the worst thing that can happen for a fighter. Boulerice was a disappointment because he never once engaged anyone. I couldn't believe he didn't try to at least fight once. He didn't hit anyone, which of course isn't different than most other guys, but he is supposed to be a banger.
I would like to see them call up Brule by next Wednesday, although with Stortini losing his fighting confidence they still might need Boulerice around until MacI comes off the IR in late January.

Established more than 20 years ago by the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Biketoberfest® is typically held the weekend immediately following Columbus Day with most visitors staying throughout the week. The event features a 12-mile ride along a series of scenic state and county highways in Volusia County known as the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail or 'Loop'. Other popular rides include up and down Main Street and Beach Street, through various state parks such as Tomoka State Park and DeLeon Springs State Park and to the historic Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, located just south of Daytona Beach in Ponce Inlet.
There's also plenty of vibrant nightlife for Biketoberfest® revelers. Famous Main Street bars like Froggy's, Dirty Harry's, Main Street Station and the Boot Hill Saloon offer food and drinks, as well as live entertainment and giveaways. And whether you're beachside, on Beach Street, downtown, Midtown, along International Speedway Boulevard, in South Daytona or just north in Holly Hill and Ormond Beach, it's nearly impossible not to find a happening place to wet your whistle and relax after a long day's ride.
If you have the need for speed, there are also multiple motorcycle races and demos on the high banks of the newly repaved Daytona International Speedway. The party is not complete without a stop at Bruce Rossmeyer's Destination Daytona, home of Daytona Harley-Davidson - the world's largest Harley-Davidson dealership and mecca for motorcycle enthusiasts.

Forming a Pilgrimage is both simple and rewarding. Each time we visit a Church or Monastery we open up the opportunity to experience growth and the strengthening of our Orthodox Faith. During visits to monasteris, it is not uncommon for relics of saints to be brought out for veneration or to have the opportunity to meet fellow pilgrims. These events open doors to us, which in turn enliven and enrich our lives. Orthodox Christian communities in the Unites States are wonderfully diverse in their origins and customs and we owe it to ourselves to seize every opportunity or better yet, to create opportunities to visit these places so that we can explore our faith through these journeys.
Thse pilgrimages are a chance to leave the world behind if even for a few hours and to delve a little deeper into our faith. In Eastern Europe, it is not uncommon to find teens and young adults making such journeys during the summer months, sometimes travelling for weeks, exploring, learning and living life! Now it is our turn to experience the joys our brothers and sisters in CHrist have experienced. You can for a Pilgrimage to a Monastery or Church near you!
First things first! Do a little information gathering . You can serach for monastiers near your town using the internet and sites like www.orthodoxyinamerica.org
Once you have selected a site, it is time to discuss your plans with your parish priest and seek his guidance. Here is a brief planning guide to help make your first pilgrimage a success:

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

• The matchup: Jackson State (9-2 last season) at Mississippi State (7-6)
• The kickoff: 6:08 p.m., Fox Sports Net
• The weather: Hot and wet
• The line: No line
Despite some buzz about this on Twitter, Tim Couch did not pick JSU to upset the Bulldogs. That's because, as the color anaylst for this game, he recused himself from making a prediction. But if he were to pick, Couch would not be so foolish as to take Jackson State. None of us would be so foolish.
So let's not even pretend JSU has a chance to win this game. Sure, there are some nice players on this team, like receiver Tobias Singleton (formerly of Ole Miss) and defensive end Joseph LeBeau (16 sacks last year). And by year's end, JSU's offense will probably again be near the top in a lot of categories. Rick Comegy is a good, veteran coach who will have the Tiger contending for the SWAC title.
But MSU is going to win this one going away. It should, right? Tyler Russell will be flinging it around to a boat load of receivers, LaDarius Perkins will speed past linebackers, and that MSU defensive line will wreak havoc in the Jackson State backfield.
The main goals for MSU, besides winning, should be to get lots of players in the game and stay healthy. Set things up for the big game against Auburn next week. The only question I have is how many yards Russell will throw for (and how long will he even be in the game)?
A blowout? Most certainly, although I suppose a wet track could help even the playing field. Or not.
• The prediction: MSU 42, Jackson State 10.

"This boot very comfy and warm. but a bit inconvenient now to have to exchange for a smaller size ."
By: missmyjoey

February 16, 2013
A Great BUY!
"We got snow last weekend, great opportunity to try these out. They are as they appear, with the curved sole, easy to walk in, lightweight, waterproof, & warm (lined with 200 gram Primaloft) I ordered up a size so I could add my thick wool socks for the season...a comfortable fit, even with my slightly wide feet. I tromped through the snow this afternoon and no leaking. These were a great buy. I purchased the dark grey, didn't want a print , but the hot bright colors of the other boots from this maker weren't my first choice. I only wish I could have had these in solid black, brown, burgundy or dark green instead of a print, not a big deal. I still give this item a "5"."

Comfy, runs long & wide, color not accurate
"I normally wear a size 8 running shoe, and the size 8 of this boot is too big. I have to exchange down to a size 7.The dark grey plaid color is not accurate online. The dark plaid lines are actually purple and they appear gray on the screen. You do not see this until you get them in the mail. The purple won't match my jacket so I will exchange for the black solid color.Other than that super comfy...but a bit inconvenient now to have to exchange for a smaller size & a different color."

"I've never been able to find a boot that fit my calves quite right before, so I'm thrilled that I found these! I have a fairly wide foot as well so I ordered them in a 1/2 size up and they fit perfectly. First time I wore them the were a bit snug around my calf but they stretched out and now fit perfect-even with jeans tucked in. They also don't slouch which is great. I wear them all the time and get compliments every time I wear them!"

It is really quite amazing to me how many people have a deep inner need for recognition. It seems that being a part of something worthwhile simply isn't enough. They feel that their immense contribution to "The Cause" must be recognized consistently, and on a grand stage. In their race for the Microphone,TV camera, or print reporter..not to mention incessent blogging ,that they are missing the big picture. It is not about them..but it's all about the "Cause." My greatest fear is that we will miss an obvious opportunity to defeat President Obama because of the in-fighting within the Tea Party movement. While preening and posing for the great unwashed, a divided Tea Party is a defeated Tea Party. While strutting around like Peacocks..the President is raising a Billion dollars and has a core backing that would vote for him under any,and all, circumstances. Get away from the mirror for awhile..quit trying to take credit for everything including the discovery of fire,and the invention of the wheel..blend into the movement instead of trying to prove that you started it with the sheer magnitude of your very special being. In Kenny Rogers song called "The Gambler" the lyrics say "Therell be time enough for counting,when the dealings done>" I hate to tell you this but the game stiill has a year to go..so le't not blow it.

Why Kalyn Hates Winter in Utah
The high tomorrow is predicted to be 33 F. Right now it's 19 F. That's not good.
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
Poor you! I used to live in a house where things like that happened, absolutely awful! We used to let the taps alwys be open a little bit during the nights but maybe it's too cold where you live so it wont help anyway..ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear about the no-water situation, Kalyn!
It was -15Celsius (5 Fahrenheit, I believe) when we left the house this morning. We forgot to leave the taps running, and now we're a wee bit anxious whether the pipes survive until the evening..
Yes, I can understand that is not a good adventure. Gosh, I wish it weren't like that. I can only hope you have running water now or soon!ReplyDelete
I hope by the time you're reading this that the pipes have warmed up a bit and the water is flowing. Frozen pipes are the worst. We had a pipe freeze and burst once, on New Year's Eve. Try getting a plumber then! We did, but forever after we've called them The Champagne Plumbers, because they charged us enough to buy the very best bottle of champagne!ReplyDelete
Kalyn - they temperature will drop to -17F (-27C) tonight, so we definitely have to keep the taps running! I'll be thinking of you:)ReplyDelete
At least you're not in DC. High tomorrow: 27 Low: 12--if I remember right.
Once you get below 33 here, it feels about 20 degrees colder.
25 feels like 5 in utah
20 feels like 0 in utah.
Burst pipes really, really suck. Hope that its working better for you.ReplyDelete
Thanks guys. It's morning now and I'm sorry to report no water. I have to go to school and make some plans for a substitute, and then try to figure out what to do.ReplyDelete
ooops Kalyn, that's bad. Hope you have got something figured out by now
Stay warm and derive safe
OH man...I could only imagine the grousing by my wife if we had that much snow here :ZReplyDelete
How frustrating! Try to keep warm (and sane!)ReplyDelete
I'm guessing this wouldn't be a good time to tell you what the temperature is here in Venice. I'm visualizing thawing.ReplyDelete
Kalyn ... I feel fer ya. I grew up in SLC, and I remember as a kid when I'd walk down our front walk, and the snow on either side of it would be higher than I was tall! Now I live in Indiana, where they are wusses about snow ... 5" will stop the city in its tracks.ReplyDelete
What a pain. I am cold just reading your words. Maybe we should move to So Cal? ;-)
from one Utah Girl to another...I feel your pain! I hope that the H20 gets flowing for your sake!ReplyDelete
Hurm, well it was 65 here yesterday with a lot of haze.
When you comin'?
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!
And if you really like the recipe, Pins, Shares, Tweets, and Yums are always appreciated!

Have been using Clif chews for awhile and really like them. They are great for short fast rides and the long haul. This flavor in particular has become my favorite.

good product
Excellent energy boost
By Fast Eddy Skier
from Northern Wisconsin
I started using the blocks last year for ski races. These are easier and more convenient than bars or gel packs that are so messy to deal with. Also agrees with my stomach. Used the blocks frequently this summer on long rides and liked the small amount of caffeine in the blocks.
Really Helpful
By Botch
from Northwest Indiana
Stick them in the fridge u can get them to last more than an hour sucking them. Dry mouth happens but a splash of water takes care of that. Bonus caffeine to let you get through the bonks. I bought two boxes & they last a long time when you suck them, allows you to take in benefits slowly. I'm a fan tried everything else & this is the best one in the pack. Difficult to open so cut package before riding. Have converted my group of twelve to change & they all agree they are the best.

What we want is a Q&A style forum that allows for discussion, rewards members that put the effort in, reduces/prevents spam and really helps those looking for help.

I write science fiction and fantasy, mainly novels. Nine of my novels have been published. My two recent novels are available in e-format. The previous novel, Doors of Death and Life, was published by Tor Books in May 2000, to generally favorable reviews. Another previous novel, How Like a God, can be ordered on-line from the FoxAcre Press Web Store or Amazon.com. I have a number of other novels to come.
I also write short stories and occasional non-fiction. I have a story in Patrick Nielsen Hayden's anthology Starlight 3.
I blog every week at the Book View Cafe Blog.
Every now and then I teach "Writing F&SF" at the Writer's Center in Bethesda, MD.
I turn up at a lot of Science Fiction conventions. Lance Oszko gave me a photograph of me at the World Fantasy Convention in 1995. Jane Jewell took a photograph of my old college roommate, Laurie Mann, and me at Boskone.
I volunteer for the Science Fiction Writers of America. Recently I produced a whimsical diagram urging members to run for office within the organization.
I knit and hang out with local knitters. I paint walls, furniture, and water colors.
I live in a cottage a the edge of a forest with my husband Larry, the computer geek who built this web page. We renovated the kitchen in 1996 and the master bath in 2002. We are renovating the guest bath in 2010. The garden is steadily devouring the lawn, and Larry built a stone terrace.
As a girl, I attended the American School of Vientiane, Laos.
My Itinerary
This is where I'm going, and when I hope to get there. When the scheduled events have come and gone, Larry moves them (eventually) to a set of pages titled "Been There, Done That"

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.

Curators' Statements
Stephen Althouse
an Exhibition of Photography by Stephen Althouse
Atrium Gallery of Art at St. Thomas University, Miami, Florida
April 19 - May 18, 2001
Artist-photographer Stephen Althouse was born in Washington, DC in 1948, raised in rural Pennsylvania, and supplemented his education with foreign study in South America. He resides in Miami, where he holds a faculty position in the Department of Fine Arts at Barry University, and periodically teaches in France, England, Spain, and South America.
Although he uses photography as his primary creative medium, Althouse is also a sculptor and the sculptural tradition of making and manipulating subject matter is carried over into his photography. His images appear to be ritualistic in nature, often cryptically blending mysteries of passage from his youth and adulthood, experiences during his travels, and emotional reactions to people and events which have impacted upon his life.
In covering his subjects in shrouds, Althouse seems to be withholding information, dropping clues and raising questions. Phrases written in Braille, which have been important elements in many of his works since the late 1960's, add to the indecipherable quality of Althouse's art. Braille additionally implies blindness, reflecting his view of human existence; "that of groping and stumbling throughout history". He states that blindness also describes his state of mind whenever he feels the absence of creativity.
Althouse is experimenting with photographic film grain incorporated into his images, exaggerated by large scale printing, film development, and point source illumination in the darkroom. Two of the pieces in this exhibition, The Five Talents and Dart, are technical departures and representative of a series of his most current work created entirely on the computer. Using neither camera nor film for these two examples, Althouse places his subjects directly upon a scanner to capture his images digitally.
The crossover between his use of photography and digital imaging is consistent and fluid and his pieces continue to be highly creative and personal, with their meanings "shrouded" in mystery.

Now that she's expecting, here's what to expect from the fashion icon.
Her attire has been impeccable, and much-scrutinized the world over.
And now that she's pregnant, expect even more attention to be lavished on Duchess Kate as the royal bump watch kicks off in earnest. Watchers expect that she'll build on her existing fondness for simple, classic frocks and modify them as her tummy grows bigger.
Palace: Kate Middleton is pregnant!
"Her style is very elegant and refined, so I see a lot of modified sheath dresses, a lot of beautiful capes and trapeze dresses, a lot of empire waist things. It's an extension of her existing style. It will be so easy for her to wear that," says Amy Tara Koch, author of Bump It Up: Transform Your Pregnancy Into the Ultimate Style Statement.
So no caftans, muumuus or sexy stilettos for the mom-to-be. "She wears a lot of solid-color dresses, and that will work perfectly for her during her pregnancy. She'll continue to wear beautiful rich colors," says Liz Lange, herself the creator of several maternity clothing lines. "Dresses are the easiest way to look elegant while you're pregnant, and Kate wears dresses that can be taken from non-maternity to maternity. Every designer in the world will be happy to create custom looks for her."
More: Duchess Kate's morning sickness lands her in hospital
And, yes, like most expectant mums, Kate will have to at some point wear stretchy pants and loose tops — but not for a while. A long while.
"She can get away with non-maternity for the first four or five months, if not longer," Lange says. "She's such a small woman. She wears V-necks and those are very flattering.
"She's in a perfect position to just continue with her exact same dressing philosophy. She wears things that are fitted, and that should also continue during her pregnancy. Her clothes are tailored beautifully and will show her expanding baby bump in a tasteful way."
Baby names: No Apple or Hashtag likely for Duchess Kate
But at some point, even someone with Kate's royal physique has to ditch the skinny jeans. "You have to succumb to changing your wardrobe to accommodate your midsection," says Claire Ekelund, co-founder and designer of the baby accessories line Bebe Au Lait. "She'll still make it look like it's not maternity clothing."
Baby showers aren't traditional in England, but Kate, who has shown an astute understanding of her very public role, might have one for family and very close friends, and share photos as a way to make fans feel part of her experience. "Most first-time moms have baby showers," Koch says. "I can see her keeping it super-elegant and inviting the royals. She's so modern and she's so close to her sister that I can see her having one thrown by her sister."
Twitter: Celebs are atwitter with royal baby congrats
But for those hard-core fans who are clamoring to shower Kate with baby gifts, save your money. "I don't think as the future queen, you'd be able to send gifts to her," Ekelund says. "There's a ring of security. I don't think you'd be able to get them to her."
Once the little royal makes his or her arrival, Kate might even do that most modern of things: breast-feed in public, like Maggie Gyllenhaal and other celebrities have done.
Timeline: Latest bump in Will and Kate's royal timeline? A baby
"Hopefully she'll be nursing in public and setting an example for everybody," Ekelund says. "I think most mothers hope to breast-feed their children, and I'm sure Kate is no different. I would love to think that she would. I'm not sure if she would do that in public, but it would be a huge opportunity to show people that it can be done."

Obito has revealed, through taunting madara, that he must use rinnei tensei at cost of his own life to properly revive madara.
After all is said and done, obito having most likely joined the good guys at some point and fighting alongside kakashi with their eyes reaching new powers in a,new way.. madara will remain invincible and undefeated. He just might be too much, this puts obito into a situation only he can handle, he is the only person in the world who can use rinnei tensei. He will cast rinnei tensei without a doubt but not on madara, he will use it to revive hashirama as it is likely the only technique that supercedes the dead demon seal's extreme confinements. The manga has said over and over that hashirama is the only person capable of beating madara. If true then we have more than a slim chance obito will summon him from the death god.
P.s. this theory assumes that rinnegan is exempt and immune to the rules of dead demon sealing (like a master key).

Construction must be done by May 10 or the contractor faces fines.
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. — The borough's renewal after superstorm Sandy's devastation began Friday when the first piling of a new boardwalk was driven into the sand.
As the wooden piling went deep into the earth on the south end of town, bagpipes played Amazing Grace and crowds cheered. It is only the first of 2,000 pilings needed to rebuild the milelong boardwalk devastated in Hurricane Sandy's surges, but it was enough to please those who watched the work from the roof of the Beachcomber Bar & Grill.
STORY: Expect a shore summer with fewer rides
STORY: Many N.J. beaches open by May
"We're very happy for this day," said Linda Sodl, a resident who came to watch the ceremony with her husband, Craig. "We hope it will be ready for Memorial Day so we can come back for another celebration."
The oceanside town of 3,000 became famous as the backdrop for the MTV reality show Jersey Shore, and its boardwalk is the most famous of many damaged in the October hurricane.
But during the hurricane, Casino Pier's Jet Star roller coaster plunged into the Atlantic. Photos of its resting spot in the ocean may be the most enduring image of the storm. Plans still have not been finalized on how or when to remove it.
The boardwalk draws thousands of visitors every summer and is vital to the area's financial stability, Mayor Bill Akers said.
"It's a huge day for us, a new beginning for the town," he said. "It's the culmination of a lot of hard work, starting with the rescues, the cleanup, the planning, culminating in the actual rebuilding of Seaside Heights."
When the Borough Council approved the contract with Sidd & Associates, it required the boardwalk be complete by May 10 or the company will be fined $7,500 a day until it is finished.
Michael Loundy, a real-estate agent who rents out the house where the Jersey Shore cast lived while filming, could not overestimate the importance of getting the boardwalk back. (The cast's house was not seriously damaged in the storm.)
"This is a proud moment for all of us after everything we went through with Sandy," he said. "We're excited about rebuilding. We loved Seaside the way it was and we'll love it again."
Jay Siddiqui, Sidd & Associates' president, said his workers will start out building eight to 10 hours a day five days a week, but if they are running behind, they will work longer hours for six days to meet the deadline.
The Millstone, N.J.-based company's $3.6 million contract edged out 15 other bids for the job.
The borough expects to award a separate contract in March for additional boardwalk work, including ramps and railings, Akers said. The project also likely will include a protective seawall and cost $6 million to $7 million.
Loundy said potential tourists want to know if Seaside Heights will be ready in time for vacation season.
"Our phones are ringing," he said. "People want to know: 'Is the town open? Will you be ready? Will the beach be ready?' We absolutely will be ready."

|In response to Re: copper pipe size in treatment system
: : I have a clorine system install and was looking over the piping and noticed something kind of interesting, all the copperin the system is 3/4 in but in between the settling tanks and the carbon filter I have a 1/2 test tap. There is about a 1 foot section that is 1/2 in the middle of all the 3/4 pipe. Will this effect anything like pressure or water flow. I would think that the installer would have used 3/4 with a T and gone 1/2 off the T to the test tap. Next month I am having all the old copper pipe replaced in the house and I wonder if I should have them replace this little section of mismatched pipe.
: : Thanks
The "Pressure" going through the 3/4 and 1/2" piping will be the same but the VOLUME will be slightly different.
The only reason I can see for this 1/2" tubing is as follows.
: The installer just didn't just decide to save a few shekels, Or run out of 3/4 piping.
: Most likely he/she read the installation instructions and followed directions as a filter can only filter out so much at any given VOLUME flowing through (flow rate)
: I would look for the manufacturer on the filter and a model number and then see if they have a volume chart that shows how much fluid can pass and still be filtered properly.

Lowest Price Guarantee
The CCM RBZ 60 Grip Hockey Stick is going to have a lot of the high end technologies found in the flagship RBZ stick at a much more affordable cost. The custom (variable) kick point is the highlighted feature in the RBZ 60 because it makes this stick a "utility stick", meaning any type of shot you take the flex point is optimized for that shot. Low-kick point sticks are not ideal for big slap shots just like mid-kick point sticks aren't as ideal for quick wrist/snap shots; but the RBZ does not have that problem!
Another call out feature in the RBZ 60 is the Power Swing Technology. The Power Swing technology raises the balance point and creates a better overall balance as a result. The blade is the standard "X-Stiff with Foam Core" that we see throughout CCM sticks instead of the Speedblade that is on the flagship RBZ stick.

War is hell.
This simple adage has been used time and time again to try and convey the horror and loss that comes along with war. The Edge Theatre's latest production, "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" takes audiences into the aftermath of battle, to see how those affected by war dealt with life after all the deaths, and life after death.
"Bengal Tiger" — a Colorado premiere — will run at the theater, 1560 Teller St., Aug. 30 through Sept. 29. Performances will be Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m.
"Every now and then people get a chance to go to a play that is really transformative, and can change your experience of what a theater can do," said director Richard Cowden. "From the moment we got this script, we wanted it to be a landmark show for The Edge, and really raise the bar for what you can see here."
The story of "Bengal Tiger" takes place in Baghdad in 2003, shortly after the American invasion. Two soldiers are guarding a tiger (Paul Page), who speaks to the audience about what it's been like living in the Baghdad zoo for 12 years, and how things have changed since the invasion.
"The tiger is the only one who is really aware of the audience and speaks to them," Page said. "The audience sees the tiger as a scrappy, older guy, who is really questioning the existence of God."
Life and death intermingle in the play, as the tiger is dispatched fairly quickly, but instead of being freed, he ends up wandering Baghdad as a ghost. Other characters join him in a metaphysical quest to find out what, if anything, is out there for them.
"I think the play poses more questions than it answers, but it's really interesting to play the intensity of these moments," Page said. "The show is supposed to generate these questions about the audience's belief systems."
Cowden said the play doesn't have a typical narrative, or really any good guys or bad guys, and that has made it both an extremely challenging and rewarding project.
"The set design work is really incredible. We wanted it to look like the inside of a bombed out building, and the furniture would be all there for the actors in the form of crates and things like that," he said. "We also spend a lot of time on the costumes and props to make sure there were as accurate as possible."
Another thing that Cowden said is unique about the show is how much of it is in Arabic, and how hard the actors worked to get the language right.
"The Arabic in the show goes untranslated, so the actors had to find a way to get across the meaning of the words without that," he said.
Cowden said people who love the theater will find the ambition of "Bengal Tiger" amazing, and people who don't much enjoy the theater will see a lot of interesting, contemporary stuff that will engage them.
"It's really hard-hitting, and really interesting," Page said.

|In response to Re: Shower drain connection
: I'm nearing completion of my shower installation (thanks for all the help with previous questions!). I'm working on connecting the shower drain to the stub-out. I have one of those Oatey drain assemblies with the rubber gasket that fits between the drain assembly and the stub-out. My problem is that the stub-out should be perfectly vertical (according to the instructions) but, due to the necessary pitch of the drain line, the stub-out is at an angle.
: This must be a common problem, what is the best way to deal with it? Just force the gasket around the stub-out?
: Thanks,
