"Super comfy! Great walking shoe"
By: joyesq

March 25, 2012
Super cute and super comfy
"I got these for my commute to work -- I was looking for something comfortable and less bulky than normal sneakers. These definitely fit the bill! I ordered my normal shoe size (NOT my normal sneaker size, which is 1/2 size up) and they fit perfectly. I usually wear them barefoot, but they would accommodate a thin sock. Only con is that they lack arch support, but that's easily fixed with some inserts. Overall, love them!"

First Ubuntu Linux certifications held at LinuxWorld SA
Six South Africans were this afternoon the first candidates worldwide to write the brand new Ubuntu Professional certification. They wrote the exams, backed by the Linux Professional Association (LPI), during the LinuxWorld show in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The Ubuntu certification has been jointly developed by the LPI and Canonical, with examination questions being developed by South African Linux professionals.

Ubuntu Touch finds a home on a conflict-free, fair-trade, user-maintainable handset
Handset maker Fairphone is teaming up with the community project UBports, which seeks to get Ubuntu Touch on mobile devices. They will be showing off Ubuntu Touch running on the Fairphone 2 during Mobile World Congress, which starts February 27 in Barcelona. While Ubuntu is probably not the first name that comes to mind when you think of mobile devices, the phone in question offers some compelling features. "UBports Foundation will be showcasing its work at the Canonical booth, the company behind Ubuntu. Canonical is planning to tell about the latest developments around the convergence of its devices and UBports Foundation will share its mission 'Ubuntu On Every Device' with the visitors," UBports said in a February 8 press release. Currently, UBports' website lists three devices as "fully working as daily drivers:" The OnePlus One, Nexus 5, and the Fairphone 2, with the latter showing all parts as functioning with Ubuntu Touch, save the GPS radio. (Interestingly, the UBports project website for the Fairphone 2 still lists the GSM radio [in addition to the GPS] as a work in progress. However there is a video of two people talking with the handset, so it's likely the Fairphone 2 project website is out of date.) The website also has instructions for flashing Ubuntu to the Fairphone 2.

John and Kevin's One Man Show
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2001
This show has not yet got a description.
Original Review:
Although these clearly talented actors have written a couple of good scenes - namely the opening sketch and Graham's Board Game - they seem all too willing to wing it, which proves very frustrating.
An audience already distracted by a box of chocolates being passed round (the reward from an earlier game of paper, scissors, stone) are also subjected to endless references to their sponsors and other acts at the fringe.
It all gives the impression that they were not taking the show all that seriously.
And while that's all well and good for a front-room parlour game, it certainly doesn't bode well for being taken seriously as grown up comedy.
Older Comments
Linz - 05/09/2001
Absolutely awful. Despite the fact that there is some promise in their approach (the scissor paper stone warm-up[routine) there was absolutely nothing to really hold the audience's interest.
Ben - 04/09/2001
That said, I agree that Graham's board game is good.

Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion showcases new food court
BRISTOL, Tenn./Va. - Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion concert-goers have the chance to try food at the local restaurants and visiting vendors.
This year food vendors have been given their own food court on Lee Street; last year they were on State Street.
Festival organizers say they had to move food vendors to prevent gridlock on State Street, which allows foot traffic to move smoothly and allows access to emergency vehicles.
They've been busy setting up since Friday morning.
"I'm not sure what to think yet, it's a new setup," said Neal Collins. Collins is a vendor who has been coming to Rhythm and Roots Reunion for eight years with his vegetarian stand. "I guess there's a new stage down there where there might be a lot of traffic coming back and forth, but ya know, on State Street for sure we get all the traffic."
Collins said people tend to buy food impulsively at festivals. "People who buy food, they see it, they smell it and think, 'oh hey, I'll buy this."
Collins said the move from State Street could mean fewer sales. He's not sure there will be as much traffic on Lee Street, even though it's between two large stages.
"If they don't happen to walk by, it might be less busy for us," said Collins.
Meanwhile, State Street businesses said the move opens up their storefronts, which will hopefully mean more customers.
"I'm happy that they're attempting to make a change for the better for the restaurants on State Street," said Amy Booher who owns State Line Bar and Grill.
Booher said this year they might have more business since there won't be other options staring customers in the face. "We were hoping that since food is an impulse buy that people will be more apt to go ahead and eat when they come in to see the bands instead of knowing they can stop at any point and eat."
News Five also spoke with Karen Hester of Hester's Store downtown. She said this year State Street businesses will really be showcased now that there aren't food vendors lining the street.

Vaginas are awesome. Let's be serious: life on this earth would not exist as know it if not for the vagina. So, ladies, why do we insist on calling it a vajayjay?
Own it. Respect it. And don't call it one of these 8 ridiculous names:

Um, ew? Let's get this straight: the word taco should only ever be used to describe the delicious Mexican food item.
Let's just cut it out with the food references, yeah?
This term apparently originated in the 17th century when prostitutes would wear hair pieces on their vaginas made of beaver hide. A more vulgar explanation is because they both "eat wood."
Yes, some people would really rather call a vagina a "bearded clam" than call it a vagina.

April 21 was National and Global Youth Service Day. Emery School District decided to focus their efforts on disaster preparedness and emergency response. Youth of the state were encouraged to be involved in service in their communities and academic service learning.
Shannon Olsen's second grade students at Castle Dale Elementary tied two baby quilts and donated them to the Emery County Sheriff's Office. The project was headed up by a mother, Megan Burke. The students presented the quilts to Sgt. Martin Wilson on April 27, who thanked the class and told them the quilts would be put to good use.

Yes, it is that cold in Siberia
I cannot even imagine how to live in an area that gets so cold. This is not a prank. When boiling water is thrown with enough force to allow the super-cold air to hit the smallest water particles, they become fog. The larger bits would become ice or snow. You can see this in the video. The larger bits fall to the ground while the fog drifts away.ReplyCancel
It doesn't really snow in Siberia. All the snow you see is just from people doing this all day.ReplyCancel
That's a beautiful phone.ReplyCancel
I'm from the north of Sweden an one winter about 10 years ago we hade -44. A human body kan sustain that temperature without any bigger problems as long as you dress right. I had long johns, mittens, scarf, wolly hat, coverpants and a warm winter jacket. I had to breathe through the mouth because if I breathe through the nose, it froze.
We almost never have that kind of extreme temperatures (during winter it's usually between -5 and -20) but it was kind of cool to experiance that =)ReplyCancel
Now I just have to wait for the inevitable Calgary deep freeze so I can try this at home!
The human body isn't 1 litre of liquid, that's how it can sustain very cold temperatures without turning to snow.ReplyCancel
As long as you are dressed properly it's not so bad. Here in Alberta it's not unusual to see -40 C. Particularly if you are out in the country, away from the city.
The coldest I've been in is -52 C in Northern Alberta. At that temp, you worry about your septic tanks freezing solid. You've heard of 'shitter's full', well this is more like 'shitter's frozen'. It's so cold that the bark on poplar trees actually explodes off as the sap freezes and expands.ReplyCancel
Ace, if you're single and really like mouthy American women, lemme know. If you're a chick, well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
I've fantasized a lot about moving to Scandinavia. ESPECIALLY the North.
I offer little in return. I do speak German, if that helps at all. I can't stand German literature (except Brecht-for giggles), if that makes up for the fact that I do speak German.
Thank you for your consideration.ReplyCancel
That is so cool!ReplyCancel
Good gracious! living in the Pacific Northwest, I cry crocodile tears when it gets down to 30 degrees ABOVE zero! lol…I'm such a baby, spoiled by the ocean air 😉ReplyCancel
But it's SIBERIA!ReplyCancel
THAT. IS. AWESOME! Although I hate cold weather, I just loved that.
@libby, because you commented to Ace, I know have stuck in my brain "Ace of Spades" from Motorhead, lol
I once spent about 2 minutes outside on an evening that was -35 with a windchill in the -50s, and that was enough for one lifetime. I have a "rule of 20s." Anything below 20 is cold, anything below 0 is really cold, and anything below -20 is unbearable. Luckily (ha!), global warming seems to be eliminating Minnesota's brutal winters.
FSP, the water in your body isn't exposed to the air. When I have a runny nose on the really cold days, my nose hairs freeze.ReplyCancel
I have also done this many times, and it's awesome. I was working at a hotel in North Dakota, and guests from the south, or really anywhere but North Dakota/northern Minnesota, would comment how COLD it was. I'd go outside with hot water from the coffee maker and throw it in the air and when the cloud of snow fog would burst out of the near-boiling water they would FREAK OUT. Good times.ReplyCancel
I'm here in Central Texas bitching because its 48F. But we are going to hit 70 today and will be 70 on Christmas Day. I hate the cold. Coldest I've been in is -6F in Colorado. Hubby had some next exposed and got frostbite. I won't move to Co with my parents because I hate the cold. HATE. It could be 80F+ year round and I'd be happy.ReplyCancel
I can't really tell much difference between -20 and -50. After -20, it all kinda feels the same to me. And it's not nearly as bad as it sounds. You've heard of "dry heat" not being all that bad? At -20, it a "dry cold", IMO. So little moisture in the air, that it just doesn't feel all that bad. I feel colder at 10 above than I do at 20 below…ReplyCancel

Skip to comments.Furor over gay teachers firing may pit city of Columbus against Roman Catholic diocese
Posted on 04/24/2013 7:34:41 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
COLUMBUS, OH, April 22, 2013 (LifeSiteNews) The firing of a teacher at Bishop Watterson Catholic High School after it was learned she was involved in a long-term homosexual relationship may pit the Catholic diocese against a Columbus city ordinance barring employers from discriminating based on sexuality.
Gym instructor Carla Hale, 57, was fired last week after an anonymous parent wrote the Diocese of Columbus to complain because in an obituary for Hales mother, Hale was listed as a survivor alongside her longtime lesbian partner, Julie.
Hale signed a morality clause as part of her contract, affirming that Catholic school personnel are expected to be examples of moral behavior and professionalism, and acknowledging her employment could be terminated for immorality or serious unethical conduct. Because the Roman Catholic Church holds homosexual behavior to be gravely immoral, the Diocese of Columbus found her to be in violation of her contract, and fired her.
Now, Hale wants her job back. She has filed a grievance with the teachers union, and her lawyer, Thomas Tootle, told the Columbus Dispatch that if Hales union grievance does not succeed, her next step will be to sue under the citys anti-discrimination law.
That means the diocesan officials who fired Hale may soon face legal action from the city of Columbus, fines, and possibly even jail time.
Columbus city law deems it a misdemeanor for an employer to discriminate against an employee based on sexual preference. It is also illegal for employers to have policies that discriminate based on sexual preference. There is no exemption for religious organizations or other employers who object to homosexuality on religious grounds. A guilty verdict carries penalties of up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
The Diocese of Columbus refused to comment on the case, citing the confidentiality of personnel matters.
Hales is the latest in a series of firings of Catholic school teachers who have publicly opposed Church teaching on homosexuality. Another Ohio Catholic high school teacher, Mike Moroski of Cincinnati, was let go in February after posting on his blog that he supports same-sex marriage. Rather than fight the diocese, Morski launched a political career. Al Fischer, an openly homosexual music teacher in St. Louis, was fired from a Catholic school and church last year after announcing he was traveling to New York to marry his same-sex partner.
Although none of those cases resulted in legal action, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in January that religious employees of religious organizations cannot sue for employment discrimination. The Court defined religious employees as employees of religious organizations who have religious teaching authority. Catholic school teachers seem likely to fall under this category, especially those who sign morality clauses promising to uphold the faith.
As of this writing, more than 40,000 people have signed an online petition demanding the Diocese of Columbus reinstate Hales employment and issue a public apology.
This is an example of how YOU HAVE TO LEGISLATE MORALITY.
The State will have to determine which morality it will stand up for — Traditional Christian morality or Modern Secular morality.
The state cannot stay neutral on this issue.
Wait — the girl's gym teacher is a lesbian? Shocking!
You can be fired for being gay in any state if you work for a religious institution, particularly if you sign a morals clause. She did both.
The SCOTUS has already ruled on this 9-0.
Is it true that all female physical education teachers are gay? My school district has several, and they are militant. They also get to teach health.
OK, here's a question — What if the state recognizes gay marriage?
Can the state COERCE the Catholic institution to re-instate a fired "married" lesbian teacher for what the state recognizes as LEGAL?
Sue the city back into the stone age.
This could be an interesting case if the teachers lawyer asks the diocese to prove ongoing homosexual activity. As I understand it, the church opposes homosexual acts, not homosexuality per se. Sadly many fifty-seven year old heterosexual couples exist in marriages without sex. It's possible this couple does too.
I think self-identified homosexual partnership suffices to violate the morality clause.
Nice try but no cigar. (The lesbos can probably put it to good use.)
Ohio doesn't recognize such "marriages" and neither do 40 other states.
LOL - It fit her perfect!
That's a female?
I want proof! Oh wait, never mind...
If you've seen one queer lesbian gym teacher, you've seen them all.
Shoot! I thought that was SEAN PENN.
For you non-readers of James Joyce (can't really say I blame you), that stands for "Kiss My Royal Irish A***."
On second thought, now that I've seen the photo, please don't.
The last time the Church allowed homosexuals to hang around without being fired they ended up getting sued for it.
Lemme guess, she would be the dyke in her "relationship"?
Perhaps she should seek a position at an Islamic school.
It is pagan/Satanic morality. It is a return to the occult-—and rituals of those that worship Lucifer (and mock God's Design). There is nothing "secular' about it. It is as ancient as any civilization-—and they weren't "godless". Saudis are sodomites as Shoebat just said on Michael Savage show....they go after boys. That is why homosexuals don't blast muslims-—they have boys in common.
And Just Laws are all "moral" since "Justice" is a Virtue, so Just Law has to promote Virtue (morality).
St. Thomas A. said that if Laws don't promote "Justice"-—they cease to be "Law". Much of John Locke's/Blackstone's/Marshall's understanding of Justice and Law comes from St. Thomas Aquinas which is embedded in our Constitution.
That is why our "Justice" system is corrupted and perverted which is destroying culture as Cicero stated "unjust" laws would do.....We have arbitrary—unjust laws, which according to John Marshall would be "Null and Void" in a sane universe. Laws have to contain Right Reason-—and homosexuality is not only unnatural-—it is irrational—proven scientifically.
We have a lawless culture-—where anything becomes "Good" as long as there is an "urge" to do it.
You would hope this is a big joke but the leftist degenerates are not kidding, you will have NO rights when they are finished
In Texas it is best to give no reason for a firing
Don't have to legislate anything. Church as right to its beliefs
Will they arrest the Pope?
I think so. I'm a PA. resident and my gym teacher was a lesbian. Her last name was Lafemme, believe it or not.
First...Where is our petition? Like minded people off the moral persuasion will bury the gay one.
Second....If we're forced to live with rulings by this piece of crap court, even the homos have to play along. They will never stop until we all agree that buggery is normal and in no way immoral. Don't see that happening, no matter how hard they force it on us.
Exactly. This is why they sign this contract ahead of time. :)
Seriously, I grew up with them in my school too.
I personally believe the state needs to stay out of employer contracts provided they do not cause physical harm or enslave an individual. The state has already gotten far too involved for the sake of good intentions. I'm sorry but I have little pity for someone who chooses to be employed by an organization they know they are incompatible with. It would be like me getting a job with PETA, Greenpeace, or some far left group and then getting upset when they get rid of me when they find out that I'm a right winger opposed to them.
The left routinely eject students out of college programs for being Christian/conservatives something that is not a private religious organization but a public state funded institution and they seem perfectly ok with that.
So this is the part of the country where people are still reasonably free.
"Modern Secular morality"
Im afraid there is no morality there at all.
Let the Catholic Church threaten to close all its schools in the Cleveland Diocese that are affected by this silly law. Let the city/counties have to pay to educate those thousands of extra kids. They are already receiving tax funds from their parents for not using the public schools' services. See what is left of the middle class tax base dry up as those families move to an area where they don't have to send hteir kids to public school. See the gays not make up the difference.
It's nice to know what you think about a clause neither of us has seen
All legislation is an expression of morality codified in statute.
Nice to know what you think about what I think.
Isn't life nice?
"Let the Catholic Church threaten to close all its schools in the Cleveland Diocese that are affected by this silly law. Let the city/counties have to pay to educate those thousands of extra kids. They are already receiving tax funds from their parents for not using the public schools services. See what is left of the middle class tax base dry up as those families move to an area where they dont have to send hteir kids to public school. See the gays not make up the difference."
Believe me, the state will be more than happy to oblige. They did it here in NJ, basically eliminating Catholic schools in many areas through prohibitive taxes for the public school systems. The teachers' unions want them gone, and Caesar does their bidding. Taxpayers are fleeing the state, but the Catholic school system is finished. The state has done the same to Catholic hospitals in NJ, requiring them to treat everyone (including illegals) while constantly reducing the reimbursement paid for such services until the hospitals close.
Nothing pleases the state more than shutting down a competitor that shows how wasteful, inefficient, and unproductive the state is.
"...when 'tis folly to be wise"
RE: Ohio doesnt recognize such marriages and neither do 40 other states.
Let's say Ohio finally DOES recognize such "marriages" (God forbid)... would this Catholic school then be FORCED BY LAW to accept this teacher and her lifestyle?
Isn't this unconstitutional?
We have to ask this question now because I see marriage being slowly redefined as one by one the moral dominoes begin to fall...
RE: Perhaps she should seek a position at an Islamic school.
Catholics merely tolerate homosexuality.... do you know what Sharia law does to homosexuals?
RE: Hale signed a morality clause as part of her contract
Herein lies the problem -— She will insist that SHE IS MORAL.
It now becomes her morality vs the Catholic church's.... as I said before, if this goes to court, the State HAS TO LEGISLATE MORALITY.
It will either be a choice of Christian morality or lesbian morality but choose the state must.
Only if they have gay sex with adults.....having sex with boys is perfectly okiley dokiley to Muzzies.
RE: All legislation is an expression of morality codified in statute.
Precisely. And I agree.
The only weak spot there is this — WHAT EXPRESSION OF MORALITY will it be?
Will it be influenced by Christian morality or something else ( e.g. Gay morality ).
Of course it's unconstitutional. But when has this government ever cared about that?
but folk keep voting into office those who would take those alternative health and education options from them, so it's really true: we get the government we deserve. Bummer.
Let the Catholic Church threaten to close all its schools in the Cleveland Diocese that are affected by this silly law
It is the Columbus Diocese, but it is a good point.
It was based on actions not "preference."
Morality Clauses, particularly at religious institutions, are generally boiler plate. If you have scene one, you have scene them all.
The SCOTUS has already ruled on this issue. They did so 9-0. Any religious institution has the right to decide WHO is minister in that religion. A teacher, OF ANY SUBJECT, is a minister in a religious organization. Local law CAN NOT, trump the first, or any, amendment to the Constitution. The Liberals hold onto this for abortion, privacy and Miranda, even though none of these are actually in the Constitution. Not only is Religious Freedom in the Constitution, it is the #1 Amendment.
Please provide a link to one you've "scene"(sic) so I can verify what you claim.

Stress and Fatigue in Modular Implants Used in Hip Joints
Lexi Carver | July 24, 2014
Modular orthopedic devices, common in replacement joints, allow surgeons to tailor the size, material, and design of an implant directly to a patient's needs. This flexibility and customization is counterbalanced, however, by a need for the implant components to fit together correctly. With parts that are not ideally matched, micro-motions and stresses on mismatched surfaces can cause fretting fatigue and corrosion. Researchers at Continuum Blue Ltd. have assessed changes to femoral implant designs to quantify and prevent this damage.Read More

Wind turbine noise is a (hotly disputed) topic that we've mentioned on the blog before. While research into noise production by wind farms is still being debated among researchers, one way we've found to overcome these noisy turbine troubles is to place turbines offshore where they can't be heard and, conveniently, high winds with more regularity make energy production more effective. However, a question that comes to mind is: What impact do offshore wind farms have on marine life?Read More

With all of the other components of an automobile to consider, it is easy for drivers to forget to routinely check tire pressure. Thankfully, companies are actually beginning to assemble most of their newer vehicles with built-in tire pressure monitoring sensors. These devices are placed at the bottom of the tire hub and measure air pressure automatically — all while the car is still in motion.Read More

Energy and telecom cables often journey through harsh environments to reach their destinations. Some cables are responsible for carrying high currents and must navigate in conditions that include high thermal loads, mechanical loads, and limited ventilation. We recently published a story in the IEEE Spectrum Insert, Multiphysics Simulation, explaining how the Prysmian Group, a leader in developing cable systems across many industries, has begun using COMSOL Multiphysics to improve their development process, save resources, and optimize their cable designs.Read More

In a previous posting, we looked at computing and controlling the volume of a cavity filled with an incompressible fluid, which solved for the static deformation of a fluid-filled rubber seal. In that example, we did not explicitly model the fluid, but added an equation to solve for the pressure, assuming incompressibility of the fluid. Here, we will extend this approach and include the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid in the deforming container.Read More

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal's Maple-tinged Thanksgiving Lovefest
Celebrities: They bring their significant others to awkward family Thanksgiving dinners just like us! Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal sipped lattes; Kim Kardashian brought home Halle Berry's ex; Lindsay Lohan saw an old flame. Saturday's Gossip Roundup is eating leftovers.
- All anyone could talk about at our Thanksgiving table was how Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift were dating. Ha, kidding: Mostly we talked about the past, and things that happened back when we were happy. Anyway, Jake and Taylor are dating. They were spotted in Brooklyn's Park Slope at Gorilla Coffee drinking lattes with maple syrup and presumably hanging out with Jake's sister, Maggie, who lives nearby. (Good coffee: bad place to try to blog for Gawker on a weekend—take it from us. Although if Jake and Taylor are going to start popping in, maybe we'll hang out there all day and try to get an exclusive.) [People]
- Kim Kardashian brought rumored boyfriend and Halle Berry's ex Gabriel Aubry home for thanksgiving. This after the two were spotted at a Laker's game and watched Burlesque. They're totally dating! Here's hoping some ancient Kardashian matriarch made an awkward joke about "sloppy seconds" and winked at Gabriel over a steaming pile of sweet potatoes.[E!]
- Lindsay Lohan's fun-filled Thanksgiving: working out, chilling with dad, hanging out with bff Samantha Ronson, heading back to the Betty Ford rehab center at 5:30pm, stuffed with turkey. [P6]
- Newlyweds Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green spent their Thanksgiving in Disneyland. This seems like the worst possible place in the world to have Thanksgiving! Too many anthropomorphic animals for a holiday premised on eating a ton of animal flesh. [Daily Mail]
- Now that Bristol Palin lost Dancing with the Stars, what is she going to try to lose next? "I'm going to go home and spend time with my family," she told People. So, another reality show! [People]
- Miss New York, Davina Reeves "crashed" the Miss USA float at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday. While Miss USA Rima Fakih was waving to the crowd, Reeves got up and started hogging the spotlight. After five blocks, she was asked to leave. We watched much of the Macy's parade on TV with our little cousins and, trust us, Reeves, you dodged a bullet. [P6]
- Real Housewife of Atlanta Kim Zolciak was caught smoking while three-months pregnant earlier this month. Gross. She's obviously trying to ingest as many chemicals as possible to create a sort of freak baby, which she can then use to get her own Housewives spin-off. [TMZ]
- Real Housewife of New York Kelly Bensimon on how tough she is to date: "If you want to date me it's like dating a 16-year-old because I have to be home by the time the nanny comes home." [P6]
- Anne Hathaway's boobs and Jake Gyllenhal's penis star in Love and Other Drugs. (NSFW) [Egoastic]

Maisie is an innocent six year-old, torn between her divorced parents, pathetically isolated yet tragically involved. The only emotional constant in Maisie's life is Mrs. Wix, a motherly old governess.
©2010 AudioGO Ltd (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
"A great reader reads a great writer"
James is a hard writer to read aloud. He's a hard writer to read off the page. His sentences are long, with lots of subordinate clauses, that express delicate shades of meaning. They are often beautiful, but it's a difficult beauty. Maureen O'Brien does more than make James' book understandable, she makes it live in all its subtlety.
"Unexpectedly Modern Story, Beautifully Read"
Maisie appears to be the pawn of her feckless, self-involved parents; and then the adored darling of her subsequent stepparents. The story is told more or less from Maisie's point of view. We only know as much as she does -- no, let's take that back. She might know far more than we realize she knows. Who is playing who in this bitter game?
It's a psychological study, alive to every nuance of expression and unstated communication, but Maisie, as all humans do, remains a mystery. I'm sure some perfect comparisons will spring to mind as soon as I finish this review. But it's safe to say that if you found Turn of the Screw unsatisfying, you will not like this either. James hands you nothing but complexity and ambiguity. In other words: life.
The very last scene. It is not a spoiler to say that it is a play on the title of the book.
I returned to this book after seeing the updated movie version of the book with Julianne Moore and Steven Coogan as the irresponsible, self-involved parents. But in the film, Maisie is played by a darling girl whose sweetness is touching and beautiful. Here, Maisie is far more complex.
Maureen O'Brien does an amazing job capturing the accents (with all the class connotations) as well as the emotions of the characters, which requires great insight into both human nature and literature as well as great acting skills. I will search out more books read by her.
"Perfect reading of a unique, fascinating novel"
This reading is as good as it gets, and shows the value of audiobooks. Hearing this book read out loud by such a capable reader brings, for me at least, a new dimension of pleasure and understanding. I thought I knew the novel well from reading off the page, but there are so many nuances that hearing it at the pace of the spoken word adds a great deal. The reading is just right -- it's a reading, but not a performance, and not overdone.
"Too repetitive"
Confession: I was drawn to What Maisie Knew because the movie adaptation stars Alexander Skarsgard. But I decided to read (or, in this case, listen) to the book because the story of a divorce/custody battle in the 19th century really intrigued me. It seems like such a modern issue that I was interested to see an earlier take.
What I learnt was that not much has changed. Granted, it's probably more common now, but I was surprised by just how relevant the ground covered in What Maisie Knew is today. No wonder it leant itself to a modern movie adaptation! The book begins with Maisie's divorced parents fighting a vicious legal battle to try and gain custody of their young daughter. They want to hurt each other as much as (or perhaps, more than) they actually want custody of the girl. They end up getting joint custody (something that I didn't expect - I had the idea that men automatically got it back in the day), and then each try to turn Maisie against the other, openly putting each other down in front of her and sending her back and forth with petty messages. But soon they have new partners, and their fight over Maisie turns into who can spend the least time with her. She becomes a burden to be inflicted on each other.
Maisie's parents are, needless to say, truly awful. My heart just broke for Maisie several times over. I actually quite liked Sir Claude, Maisie's stepfather, and it was so lovely to see her get some affection and attention from him. I didn't hate Mrs Beale, Maisie's stepmother, though I suspect I was supposed to - and I couldn't stand Mrs Wix, who I think was supposed to be an admirable, if slightly ridiculous, character. She was so self-righteous and silly - but this may just be my own modern morals framing my judgement.
What Maisie Knew is told from the third person perspective of Maisie herself, and I found it quite hard to understand at times. I'm not sure if this was intentional - as though Maisie herself didn't understand what was happening - or if it was just my modern brain not picking up the subtleties and assumed knowledge the contemporary reader would have had. This made the experience quite a frustrating one, something that wasn't helped by the repetitive plot. While at first I was quite captivated my Maisie's plight, by the time she was chucked back and forth, back and forth, again and again between her various parents and step-parents, I was pretty over it. There are only so many times you can bear what is essentially the same plot point repeated in the same story.
The narration by Maureen O'Brien was quite good, but by about the halfway mark, I found What Maisie Knew to be pretty unbearable. I was really tempted to quit, and only didn't because I had come so far. I was really disappointed with the ending, and unsatisfied overall. I don't know that I'll read another Henry James soon.

I am so happy to have found you web site!! We bought a house in the summer and when winter came, we heard this strange banging sound when the heat came on. I tried to bleed the radiators, but when I did, the banging got worse. We got a new water heater holing tank and we got rid of the expansion tank, as suggested by the person who installed the tank. Our heat in oil, if that matters. What can we do? Thanks in advance.

The Serial Killer Test
Their result for The Serial Killer Test ...
Ed Gein
Your personality matches Criminal Profile 40816###.
When he looked up to see what it was he ran into, he faced a large, human carcass hanging upside down from the beams.
Your personality type matches the criminal profile of Ed Gein. Bizarre handicraft made Eddie into a celebrity. Author Robert Bloch was inspired to write a story about Norman Bates, a character based on Eddie, which became the central theme of the Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller Psycho.
In 1974, the classic thriller by Tobe Hooper, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, has many Geinian touches, although there is no character that is an exact Eddie Gein model. This movie helped put "Ghastly Gein" back in the spotlight in the mid-1970's.
Years later, Eddie provided inspiration for the character of another serial killer, Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs. Like Eddie, Buffalo Bill treasured women's skin and wore it like clothing in some insane transvestite ritual.
While shocked deputies searched through the rubble of Eddie Gein's existence, they realized that the horrible discoveries didn't end at the missing Mrs. Worden's body. They had stumbled into a death farm.
The funny-looking bowl in his home was actually the top of a human skull. The lampshades and wastebasket were made from human skin.
A ghoulish inventory began to take shape: an armchair made of human skin, female genitalia kept preserved in a shoebox, a belt made of nipples, a human head, four noses and a heart.
The more the looked through the house, the more ghastly trophies they found. Finally a suit made entirely of human skin. Their heads spun as they tried to tally the number of woman that may have died at Eddie's hands.
While you may or may not be capable of performing the horrific acts he did, you loosely resemble (with some obvious exceptions) his criminal profile based upon your general motivations, preferences and behavior patterns.
Yeah, I've got you pretty well figured out by now.
You're into my style, so check out my fashion.

This is an old crazy quilt top that I bought several years ago intending to repair and finish it. It got put away and time got away from me. A few months ago I read about a crazy quilt contest with the proceeds going to the Alliance for American Quilts, so got it back out. It was in worse condition than I remembered.
I apologize for my lack of skill in "putting" all the photos together, but here is the quilt in "nine" photos.
Here are a few detail photos to show some of the damage. This first one shows a ribbon from some Grand Lodge in Arkansas.
It's sad how the beautiful old silks have worn or crumbled away.
This photo shows how the quilt was actually done on foundation squares and then sewn together.
I wish I could have used this, but the background silk is in shreds.
I know that some "purist" feel that old quilts should not be cut up, but I decided the best way to "salvage" any of this quilt would be do do just that. I struggled to find areas with good fabric. Here is the beginning of my crazy quilt entry. Later I will show you the embroidery and embellishment that I added. The finished quilt will be 16 in X 16 in as the rules demand.

Jack Hannah was an animator, writer and director of numerous of Disney's animated shorts. He was also the assistant of Carl Barks on his first Disney comics and he also did some of his own. After thirteen films as an animator, he was assigned as a writer, starting with 'Donald's Nephew's', introducing Huey, Dewey and Louie. He has written about 21 Donald Duck shorts. The comics he created with Carl Barks were 'Pluto Saves the Ship' and 'Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold'. Unlike Barks, he stayed at the animation studios, where he became a director. Hannah directed 94 films.
He did an occasional comic throughout the 1940s, including 'Donald Duck and the Pirates', a remake of 'Donald Duck finds Pirate Gold', published in Cheerios Premium Giveaway. He later moved to Walter Lantz's studios, where he directed 'Woody Woodpecker' shorts. Whereas Carl Barks is credited as the creator of Donald's comics personality, Hannah is the creator of Donald's animated character.

Another downtown option is Bagel Central, a popular bakery/cafe with vaulted ceilings and a lively atmosphere, located alongside the Kenduskeag Stream. Besides their fluffy, bready bagels, Bagel Central serves omelets, pancakes, and oatmeal, as well as soups and sandwiches for lunch. Vegetarians can find plenty to eat. Unfortunately, with the exception of the plain water and sesame water bagels, the breads contain egg. Vegan cream cheese, peanut butter, and jam are available, though I've been known to bring Earth Balance margarine in my purse.
At lunchtime, Bagel Central offers a rotating selection of soups which are often vegetarian or vegan. In winter, these tend toward hearty vegetable barley, chickpea stew, and chili, with a spicy, chunky gazpacho available in summer. There's often hummus in the deli case, which I substitute for cheese when ordering The Brady Gang, a towering vegetable sandwich fit for a lumberjack.
We visit Bagel Central a few times a month, to gaze out the giant windows and eat ourselves into a carbohydrate stupor. I give it two chickpeas. Vegans can eat, but choices are limited. If Bagel Central offered a vegan wheat bagel and natural (non-hydrogenated) peanut butter, I'd go for breakfast more often.

Savannah, Georgia
"Digital techniques don't replace traditional analog methods and skills. They are another tool in the belt."
Chad Keller is a professor of historic preservation at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). He recently joined the faculty after serving as a multimedia designer at the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH) and as an adjunct professor of architectural history at the University of Virginia (UVA). Keller's research and teaching focus at SCAD involves the integration of newer digital technologies into the research and documentation process of cultural heritage sites.
AT UVA and SCAD, Keller has developed courses that expose students to digital technologies that aid their research in historic preservation. These hands-on courses give students the opportunity to work directly with tools and technologies and learn how to implement them in the field. They cover technologies such as 3D modeling, 3D scanning, geographic information systems, digital photogrammetry, and database design.
Keller has been involved with many notable projects and presented his findings at national and international conferences. He worked on Rome Reborn, a 3D digital modeling project to re-create the urban form of ancient Rome circa A.D. 320, and presented the results at the Computer Applications in Archaeology conference in Berlin, Germany. He worked on two digital scanning projects, which involved the documentation, analysis, and reconstruction of prominent sculptures. One was in partnership with the Vatican Museum and used laser scan technology to compare the original ancient marble statue of "Laocon and His Sons" with a plaster cast taken in 1957.
Keller also assisted in developing an interactive 3D digital model of historic Colonial Williamsburg circa 1776. Keller's most recent project involved the digital documentation and reconstruction of Old Sheldon Church, an 18th-century Anglican ruin in South Carolina. The results were presented at the 2012 3D Digital Documentation Summit.
Keller holds a master's degree in historic preservation from SCAD and an undergraduate degree in historic geography from the Pennsylvania State University.

Desert Thunder Raceway has been a promoter of Utah's Zero Fatalities campaign for three years. Harvey Howard, owner of Desert Thunder Raceway along with the Utah Department of Highway Safety and the Southeastern Utah Health Department have been working hard to get the word out about the Zero Fatalities campaign. Additionally to promoting the campaign out at the track, Howard's 14 year old son and race car driver Wyatt is a member of the International Motor contest association. He drives the Zero Fatalities" car and gives promotional items at every race he attends. This year alone they have gone to 35 races in five different states.
Wyatt is a top knotch racer and he is the youngest ever to finish in the top three in the Western US Region. The Zero Fatalities car is sponsored by Bucyrus, Savage, Choice Inc. and Dr. Mark Olson.
Harvey and Wyatt have spent a lot of personal time getting involved in promoting the "Zero Fatalities" campaign.
Harvey was nominated by the Utah Highway Safety Office for his award. Georgina Nowak was attending the health department regional safe kids conference in Portland, Oregon when she found out Harvey Howard had won the award. They gave Nowak the award to present to Howard. Nowak presented the award at a Bucyrus safety meeting on Oct. 18. She also gave a presentation on Safe Kids and Zero Fatalities to the workers of Bucyrus.
Harvey is also a big supporter of Buckle Up and the proper use of seat belts and car seats for children.

Resistance (flag) by Rea flew alongside banner artworks by fellow Boomalli artists, Michael Riley and Brenda L Croft, all of which were commissioned as part of Quay Works for the 1996 Sydney Festival of the Arts. Akin to Giles' (Kerwingie's) use of red, black, yellow and white (which integrates the colours of the Aboriginal flag and the four traditional pigments and ochres used in body, rock and bark paintings) Rea's flag co-opts the colours of Luritja/Wombai artist, Harold Thomas' original design. However, she has incorporated her own meaning into the work, through the overlaid text 'RESISTANCE', a term that has appeared in varying form in previous works by the artist.
(Further reading see: Boomalli Aboriginal Artists' Cooperative and INIVA , True colours: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists raise the flag, 1994)
