How the review of expenditures & subsequent cutting of $100 mil is the equivalent of the O person leaving 1 word out of all the speeches he has given to date.
How there is now backtracking on military commissions - what a rookie! But he belongs to all you lefty's.
Another Gaffe by Joe Biden, the Foreign Policy expert.

- Elegia Virtuoso Guitar Music from Brasil
Samba Urbano This samba, originally written solely for large guitar, was inspired and conceived in So Paulo, my native city. It is a piece of music that gets its principal elements from the native samba, but treats them in a more contemporary and free way. The ground bass of the first compass creates an ambience for the with slancio which will follow. Even if it is not a descriptive piece of music, it evokes directly the frantic rhythm of the large city. It is written in the form A-B-A. In its central part it contains a slow and contemplative motif, which evokes the quiet dawn in which the free spirits walk solitary through the sleeping city. Imagem Canhoto de Parahiba is a guitarist living in Recife (Northeastern Brazil) who, as the name implies, plays the instrument in an inverted manner. The curious aspect of the way in which he plays the instrument is that he does not also invert the order of the strings, which results in the thumb hitting the high cords, contrary to the normal way in which these would be played. This gives them certain unique timbre characteristics. Imagem is a choro-cano in two parts and shows a unique and profoundly beautiful melody....

Elegia Virtuoso Guitar Music From Brasil Marco Pereira, guitar
Marco Pereira is a classicly trained guitarist and composer who studied at the Conservatory of So Paulo and at the Sorbonne in Paris, where he wrote a well respected thesis on the guitar works of Heitor Villa-Lobos. Pereira perfected his technique and style with the renowned artists, Abel Carlevaro and Julian Bream. Today he is considered Brazils best classical guitarist, and he is undoubtedly not only a world class instrumentalist but also an outstanding composer/arranger. During his studies in Paris, Marco would also sit in on Jazz dates, developing his own style, which incorporates the virtuosity of his classical background. He has accomplished what very few musicians have managed: to be highly respected and successful as both, a classical and a popular guitarist. Besides his concert work, he is teaching composition at the Music University of Rio de Janeiro. His compositional style is based on the traditional Brazilian dance rhythms, while the themes, harmony and structure are strongly influenced by his fundamental classical training and his jazz experience. In this, Marco Pereiras first solo album, his exciting arrangements, his immense technical virtuosity and the clarity of his guitar sound create a unique musical experience and we are convinced that this production will become the reference recording for guitar music, for the artistry as well as its audiophile reproduction.
(...) Pereira is a master of style and emotion. His recital is a find any year, and it would be good to hear more from this excellent player and writer. American Record Guide, December 1995

I just posted four years ago, so I'll try to keep this brief.
I'm now using Fedora 17 although two versions behind the current 19. No matter, Linux is now stable and feature-full outside of the GNOME GUI which we abandoned a year or two ago in favor of XFCE.
Although I rarely update Cream, I still regularly build gVim installers for Windows. I hope to get Cream 0.44 out the door shortly with some bug fixes and features I've added for myself that others may be interested in. Wow, 43 releases to date.
The big news is that I've founded SteveHallArchitecture and have devoted my professional endeavors to architecture that is both beautiful and efficient. In a way, this is the very same philosophy as my approach to Cream: simple, yet elegant.

MIAU founded
Some of you might notice that I've been somewhat inactive as a Debian developer or hacker in general for a while. There were several reasons, but at least one of my free-time-suckers these days has been MIAU (Movements for the Internet Active Users). I'm one of the founders, and recently we held the kick-off press conference and are steadily gaining supporters. Oh yeah, we know the acronym is quite awkward...we simply love that sound (in case you don't get, see our symbol mark).
Our organization is intended to be a Japanese counterpart of EFF or ORG, and possibly includes some elements of what Prof. Lessig & Co. are doing in the U.S. We would like to defend our freedom and build/preserve the nurturing environment for innovation, especially in the Net. We would also like to be a political voice for Japanese Internet users. Currently we are focusing to fight with (IMHO) ill-conceived Japanese copyright "reform"s, such as extending the copyright term to 70 years or making downloading (in a sense) questionably-uploaded materials (like BitTorrent downloads) illegal. In case you want to know what's going on in the Japanese copyright war front now, I recommend this recently-published Techdirt article: Japan Is The Latest Country To Explore Copyright Term Extension.
Unfortunately, for the time being, most of the MIAU Web contents
are available only in Japanese. Yes, *I* got to translate the
MIAU articles into English but need some more time...and I should
admit MIAU as an organization is still tottering in many aspects.
I'm not sure how we can gain greater momentum. If you have some
experience to run this kind of initiative in your countries,
please share your experience with us.

"I got them a toaster. They call off the wedding and gave the toaster back to me. I tried to return the toaster to the store and they said they no longer sold that kind of toaster. So now my house has got two toasters."
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Ok, I'm beating a dead horse with the "my favorite part was," but here goes...
The look on Dwight's face at the thought of Angela with another woman.
Michael: "Oh look, it's Oscar's roomate. Oh, I wonder if he knows."
I don't think the laughing was meant to be mean-spirited, as much as it was supposed to convey his excitement over officially knowing a gay person. Kevin seems to have a very adolescent attitude torwards sex, with all the impish grins whenever inuendo peppers a conversation. The laughing reminded me more of something like Beavis and Butthead laughing at a teacher saying "vagina" in a sex ed class.Originally Posted by CaesarShrute
Alright, I updated my profile and stuff with mr. Schrute grieving for Jim.
I got an avatar of Roy's DUI which was freakin' SCARY.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
If that ever happened in my office, there would be SUCH a lawsuit... LOL
It was a good episode.
Well done, Big Tuna.Originally Posted by JMG
But, but, but, but what if Michael and Dwight kissed you awkwardly on the mouth and Lan Jevinson (sic) gave you 3 months off plus a car ?Originally Posted by JP
I just watched it this morning for the 4th time already.Originally Posted by JP
On a serious note, the thing I love about the gay humor (and other humor on the show, or humour as JP would spell it ) is that they don't use it for cheap laughs (like, ohhhhhh, say, Will & Grace ) but rather they pull off the gay jokes at the expense of the non-gay people who do and say goofy things.
Good episode, indeed !
One little thing I loved about the episode was Dwight trying to kick Oscar after he pushed Angela out of the way. This one was probably my second favorite episode after "The Injury". I swear, nothing will make me laugh more than this dialogue:
Dwight: Where are we going?
Jim: We're going to Chuckie Cheese.
Michael: Aw, man. I'm so sick of Chuckie Cheese.
Jim: We're going to the hospital, Michael.

Good call Double G, I also loved Dwight's attempt at defending Angela's honor.
I also love how Dwight always wears short sleeved shirts with ties.

The earliest pregnancy symptom will likely be a missed period. Sometimes, there can be soreness of the breasts, fatigue, nausea, frequent urination, etc. Personally, I didn't experience anything other than a missed period for a week before I found out I was pregnant.

The Massachusetts ADRC and the Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center have joined forces to fund the best novel ideas for pilot projects aimed at understanding and developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. Together, we are pleased to announce a joint call for pilot study applications from investigators within the Harvard community. Grants with a dollar value up to $30,000 (direct costs) will be awarded for the duration of one-year. A total of $240,000 is available.
We strongly encourage investigators to examine the shared resources and core facilities available within the ADRC and the Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center and to develop applications that make use of these facilities. AD-related projects are also encouraged to be aware of, and utilize data available from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) (www.alz.washington.edu [2]) if appropriate.
Applications will be judged on the basis of scientific merit, novelty and the value of the project in obtaining preliminary data that could lead to sponsored research (investigator-initiated R01 research grants, career development awards, industry or foundation support). Availability of appropriate facilities and the technical ability to carry out the project are fundamental. Clinical projects as well as basic research will be considered. Priority will be given first to junior investigators, then to senior investigators who are new to neurodegenerative disease research, and finally, to established investigators with a new line of investigation that lacks funding. Use of NeuroDiscovery Center cores and ADRC cores is strongly encouraged.
More information on the program is attached.

Hi Sarah, Fantastic work overall, you are creating some very nice tones andyour smooth shading technique is looking really good:) The paper you purchased seems to be working well for you:) Here are a few suggestions to help you improve even more... Smooth shading technique- Very, very good:) You are creating some really nice areas of even tone... superb, but in a few spots there is some patchiness. I think what is happening is every once in awhile you are just using your wrist to shade:) which results in patchiness. (See at the letter A) Keep your wrist stiff as you slide your entire hand up and down the page, the underside of your arm should wiggle:) In the darker tones, where you pressed harder to darken, the strokes are noticeable because the tones in between are lighter. Try to keep your strokes close together so the white of the page or lighter tones don't show... use even pressure. Resting your little finger on the page will give you more stability. Make sure you put a clean sheet of paper under your hand though so that you don't smudge your work. I use a clean piece of tracing paper... and when you reposition it, lift rather than drag:)Value scale- Beautiful, the tones all get darker gradually and i love that you have achieved a rich level 6. You could perhaps gently darken the level 3, 4 and 5 each just a bit more by adding a wee bit more graphite ( just stroke the page a bit more) but otherwise this is fantastic!Shading the curves exercise- Fantastic... well done on shading each of the curves to the correct tones. When trying to shade small areas like these curves, try preparing your pencil with a chisel point. It makes it easier to get into the smaller areas or close to edges. If you go past an edge, you can just use your putty eraser to gently wipe away any excess graphite. At the letter b- I can see a lighter tone between the strokes here, try keeping your strokes closer together. Gradation- Excellent effort:) however the tones need to transition more smoothly from one tone to the next. Compare to Fig 12C on page 20. As you enter the lighter tone you just need to ease up on the pressure. Keep your strokes close together and your wrist stiff. Gently stroke to blend the tones seamlessly and subtly, as they go from one tone to the next. Soft edge- You have the right idea Sarah! The edge at the letter C could be softened a bit more. Take your 2b and straddle the graphite part over where the 2 tones meet and run it up and down the full length a few times. At the letter C:), the tones transition too quickly because you shaded a bit too far out into the level 2 tone. Next time, after gently shading over where the level 6 and level 2 tones meet to create the soft edge, make your way gradually out into the level 2 tone but don't go out as far, only just past the area where the two tones meet. Hard edge- beautiful... well done on shading right up to the line... be careful not to go past it:) To get right up to the line with a 2B or 4B pencil, you can lift it up on more of an angle. You can only do that with these softer pencils, with the HB, you will need to prepare a chisel point tip. Great work! Excellent work overall, Sarah, just a bit more practice with the gradation and the soft edge is needed. These 2 tonal changes are so very important so I would like you to have another go at them and then resubmit:) so that I can help you more.

About Me
Hi I'm Di....I'm a country girl starting her life over again once again. I look forward to all that life has to offer me and what the future holds for me. I'm 50 now. I live in Pennsylvania. I have 4 grown kids and 9 grand children. I suffer from alot of health issues that I'm trying to get a handle on. but it's so hard. I've been through some recent hard, trying times and I'm working on getting back on my feet again, alone again, and getting back into digital scrapping again! I LOVE photography. It is so calming and relaxing to me. I have a desire once I get my health back to where it should be, to be a clown and visit children's hospitals, nursing homes etc. I also love volunteering at nursing homes too. I have done paper scrapbooking for many years and have made more albums then I can remember. But I am addicted to digital photography and loved the idea of digital scrapbooking in place of paper scrapping.

Anyone care to say this was a good deal for the taxpayers to get involved in? I believe RMoney was correct on this issue but it cost him MI & OH.

By Tiernan Ray
Deutsche Bank semiconductor analysts Ross Seymore, Bob Gujavarty, and Sukhi Nagesh suggest you get more picky this year: after two years of outperforming the broader market, chip stocks as group will have a tougher time in 2011, they think.
Semiconductor revenue growth, after rising 30% last year, they estimate, will probably drop sharply, to just 5% growth this year. After two years of outperformance by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, chip valuations are at 3 times as a multiple of enterprise value to Ebitda, they observe. That's in line with the five year average valuation for the group, but above trough levels. So while valuations won't fall a lot this year, they won't rise a lot, either.
Their Buy-rated stocks are (Integrated Device Technology (IDT), Intel (INTC), Intersil (ISIL), MaxLinear (MXL), Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR), ON Semiconductor (ONNN), and Xilinx (XLNX).
As for microprocessors, and application processors, in particular, the team is modeling somewhat better PC growth than some other notes I've seen: they expect 10% unit growth in PCs this year. Throw in tablet computers, and the total, 426 million units, would represent 15% growth. There'll be "modest" price declines and margins, they write.
As I noted earlier today, Gujavarty cut his rating on SanDisk (SNDK) today to Hold.

I have read posts over the last couple of weeks, with great interest and curiousity, about how many of us go about our hunts, scouting methods, and locating techniques. I thought it might be interesting to discuss our approaches for hunting a new area. Below are two scenarios for spring hunts outside of your home turf and "comfort zone". You have one month prior to the hunt to prepare yourself, but you are not able to actually visit the hunt area.
First scenario: You are faced with hunting a tract of land that is, say, one mile square (640 acres). You are not familiar with the property and you have three days to hunt it. What is your approach?
Second scenario: You are hunting a large area, for instance a National Forest area of 10 miles square (100 sq. miles or 64,000 acres). Once again you are not familiar with the area and you only have three days to hunt. What is your approach here?

I think it's fair to say fans had mixed opinions on the last bit of news regarding the upcoming CW show. The summary wasn't met well by many, and Wonder Woman's name being "Iris" instead of Diana wasn't very promising. Thankfully, both Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns have implied the name was used as a code name in an attempt to keep spoilers from leaking. Well, it's less than a week later and we're already getting more news about the show.
i09 says a casting call for Wonder Woman is underway and they've managed to get their hands on the script pages being used for auditions. Based on what they've read, it sounds like the program is trying to stay close to Diana's comic book roots and Steve Trevor plays a prominent role (he has the code name "Pete") . It's worth noting that the pilot script hasn't been completed yet.
The website got a glance at two scenes. The first consists of Steve crashing on Diana's island. He's tied to a chair and she's interrogating him. She's under the impression he means harm to the island (terrorist or part of an invasion). The site claims Steve's script is a mesh of charming and snarky. They compared his personality to Damon from Vampire Diaries meshed with Tommy from Arrow.
The second scene has Steve and Diana at a diner in the United States. She's overly enthusiastic about the variety of food the outside world offers. The highlight is a moment veeeery inspired by When Harry Met Sally when she tries ice cream for the first time.
Does this news give you some hope about the show or are you skeptical?

CHAPTER VIII.page: 111
IT was Albert's uncle who thought of our trying a newspaper. He said he thought we should not find the bandit business a paying industry, as a permanency, and that journalism might be.
We had sold Noël's poetry and that piece of information about Lord Tottenham to the good editor, so we thought it would not be a bad idea to have a newspaper of our own. We saw plainly that editors must be very rich and powerful, because of the grand office and the man in the glass case, like a museum, and the soft carpets and big writing‐table. Besides our having seen a whole handful of money that the editor pulled out quite carelessly from his trousers pocket when he gave me my five bob.
Dora wanted to be editor and so did Oswald, page: 112 but he gave way to her because she is a girl, and afterwards he knew that it is true what it says in the copy‐books about Virtue being its own Reward. Because you've no idea what a bother it is. Everybody wanted to put in`everything just as they liked, no matter how much room there was on the page. It was simply awful! Dora put up with it as long as she could and then she said if she wasn't let alone she wouldn't go on being editor; they could be the paper's editors themselves, so there.
Then Oswald said, like a good brother: "I will help you if you like, Dora," and she said, "You're more trouble than all the rest of them! Come and be editor and see how you like it. I give it up to you." But she didn't, and we did it together. We let Albert‐next‐door be sub‐editor, because he had hurt his foot with a nail in his boot that gathered.
When it was done Albert‐next‐door's uncle had it copied for us in typewriting, and we sent copies to all our friends, and then of course there was no one left that we could ask to buy it. We did not think of that until too late. We called the paper the Lewisham Recorder; Lewisham because we live there, and Recorder in memory of the good editor. page: 113 I could write a better paper on my head, but an editor is not allowed to write all the paper. It is very hard, but he is not. You just have to fill up with what you can get from other writers. If I ever have time I will write a paper all by myself. It won't be patchy. We had no time to make it an illustrated paper, but I drew the ship going down with all hands for the first copy. But the typewriter can't draw ships, so it was left out in the other copies. The time the first paper took to write out no one would believe! This was the Newspaper:—
Every paper is written for some reason. Ours is because we want to sell it and get money. If what we have written brings happiness to any sad heart we shall not have laboured in vain. But we want the money too. Many papers are content with the sad heart and the happiness, but we are not like that, and it is best not to be deceitful.—EDITORS.page: 114
There will be two serial stories; One by Dicky and one by all of us. In a serial story you only put in one chapter at a time. But we shall put all our serial story at once, if Dora has time to copy it. Dicky's will come later on.
CHAPTER I.—By Dora.
The sun was setting behind a romantic‐looking tower when two strangers might have been observed descending the crest of the hill. The eldest, a man in the prime of life; the other a handsome youth who reminded everybody of Quentin Durward. They approached the Castle, in which the fair Lady Alicia awaited her deliverers. She leaned from the castellated window and waved her lily hand as they approached. They returned her signal, and retired to seek rest and refreshment at a neighbouring hostelry.
CHAPTER II.—By Alice.
The Princess was very uncomfortable in the tower, because her fairy godmother had told page: 115 her all sorts of horrid things would happen if she didn't catch a mouse every day, and she had caught so many mice that now there were hardly any left to catch. So she sent her carrier pigeon to ask the noble strangers if they could send her a few mice—because she would be of age in a few days and then it wouldn't matter. So the fairy godmother— (I'm very sorry, but there's no room to make the chapters any longer.—ED.)
CHAPTER III.—By the Sub‐Editor.
(I can't—I'd much rather not—I don't know how.)
CHAPTER IV.—By Dicky.
I must now retrace my steps and tell you something about our hero. You must know he had been to an awfully jolly school, where they had turkey and goose every day for dinner, and never any mutton, and as many helps of pudding as a fellow cared to send up his plate for—so of course they had all grown up very strong, and before he left school he challenged the Head to have it out man to man, and he gave it him, I tell you. That page: 116 was the education that made him able to fight Red Indians, and to be the stranger who might have been observed in the first chapter.
CHAPTER V.—By Noël.
I think it's time something happened in this story. So then the dragon he came out, blowing fire out of his nose, and he said—
"Come on, you valiant man and true, I'd like to have a set to along of you!"
(That's bad English.—ED. I don't care; it's what the dragon said. Who told you dragons didn't talk bad English?—NOËL.)
So the hero, whose name was Noeloninuris, replied—
"My blade is sharp, my axe is keen, You're not nearly as big as a good many dragons I've seen."
(Don't put in so much poetry, Noël. It's not fair, because none of the others can do it.—ED.)
And then they went at it, and he beat the dragon, just as he did the Head in Dicky's part of the Story, and so he married the Princess, and they lived— (No they didn't—not till the last chapter.—ED.)page: 117
CHAPTER VI.—by H.O.
I think it's a very nice Story—but what about the mice? I don't want to say any more. Dora can have what's left of my chapter.
CHAPTER VII.—by the Editors.
And so when the dragon was dead there were lots of mice, because he used to kill them for his tea but now they rapidly multiplied and ravaged the country, so the fair lady Alicia, sometimes called the Princess, had to say she would not marry any one unless they could rid the country of this plague of mice. Then the Prince, whose real name didn't begin with N, but was Osrawalddo, waved his magic sword, and the dragon stood before them, bowing gracefully. They made him promise to be good, and then they forgave him; and when the wedding breakfast came, all the bones were saved for him. And so they were married and lived happy ever after.
(What became of the other stranger?—NOËL. The dragon ate him because he asked too many questions.—EDITORS.)
This is the end of the story.page: 118
It only takes four hours and a quarter now to get from London to Manchester; but I should not think any one would if they could help it.
A dreadful warning. A wicked boy told me a very instructive thing about ginger. They had opened one of the large jars, and he happened to take out quite a lot, and he made it all right by dropping marbles in, till there was as much ginger as before. But he told me that on the Sunday, when it was coming near the part where there is only juice generally, I had no idea what his feelings were. I don't see what he could have said when they asked him. I should be sorry to act like it.
Experiments should always be made out of doors. And don't use benzoline.—DICKY. (That was when he burnt his eyebrows off.—ED.)
The earth is 2,400 miles round, and 800 through—at least I think so, but perhaps it's the other way.—DICKY.page: 119
(You ought to have been sure before you began.—ED.)
In this so‐called Nineteenth Century Science is but too little considered in the nurseries of the rich and proud. But we are not like that.
It is not generally known that if you put bits of camphor in luke‐warm water it will move about. If you drop sweet oil in, the camphor will dart away and then stop moving. But don't drop any till you are tired of it, because the camphor won't any more afterwards. Much amusement and instruction is lost by not knowing things like this.
If you put a sixpence under a shilling in a wine‐glass, and blow hard down the side of the glass, the sixpence will jump up and sit on the top of the shilling. At least I can't do it myself, but my cousin can. He is in the Navy.
Noël.—You are very poetical, but I am sorry to say it will not do.
Alice.—Nothing will ever make your hair page: 120 curl, so it's no use. Some people say it's more important to tidy up as you go along. I don't mean you in particular, but every one.
H.O.—We never said you were tubby, but the Editor does not know any cure.
Noël.—If there is any of the paper over when this newspaper is finished, I will exchange it for your shut‐up inkstand, or the knife that has the useful thing in it for taking stones out of horses" feet, but you can't have it without.
H.O.—There are many ways how your steam engine might stop working. You might ask Dicky. He knows one of them. I think it is the way yours stopped.
Noël.—If you think that by filling the garden with sand you can make crabs build their nests there you are not at all sensible.
You have altered your poem about the battle of Waterloo so often, that we cannot read it except where the Duke waves his sword and says some thing we can't read either. Why did you write it on blotting‐paper with purple chalk?—ED.
(Because you know who sneaked my pencil.—NOËL.)page: 121
The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold, And the way he came down was awful, I'm told; But it's nothing to the way one of the Editors comes down on me, If I crumble my bread‐and‐butter or spill my tea.—NOËL.
If you hold a guinea‐pig up by his tail his eyes drop out.
You can't do half the things yourself that children in books do, making models or soon. I wonder why?—ALICE.
If you take a date's stone out and put in an almond and eat them together, it is prime. I found this out.—SUB‐EDITOR.
If you put your wet hand into boiling lead it will not hurt you if you draw it out quickly enough. I have never tried this.—DORA.
(Instructive Article.)
If I ever keep a school everything shall be quite different. Nobody shall learn anything they don't want to. And sometimes instead of having masters and mistresses we will have cats, and we will dress up in cat skins and learn purring.page: 122
"Now, my dears," the old cat will say, "one, two, three all purr together," and we shall purr like anything.
She won't teach us to mew, but we shall know how without teaching. Children do know some things without being taught.—ALICE.

It is a mistake to think that cats are playful. I often try to get a cat to play with me, and she never seems to care about the game, no matter how little it hurts.—H.O.page: 123
Making pots and pans with clay is fun, but do not tell the grown‐ups. It is better to surprise them; and then you must say at once how easily it washes off—much easier than ink.—DICKY.
SAM REDFERN, OR THE BUSH RANGER's BURIAL.
By Dicky.
"Well, Annie, I have bad news for you," said Mr. Ridgway, as he entered the comfortable dining‐room of his cabin in the Bush. "Sam Redfern the Bushranger is about this part of the Bush just now. I hope he will not attack us with his gang."
"I hope not," responded Annie, a gentle maiden of some sixteen summers.
Just then came a knock at the door of the hut, and a gruff voice asked them to open the door.
"It is Sam Redfern the Bushranger, father," said the girl.
"The same," responded the voice, and the next moment the hall door was smashed in, and Sam Redfern sprang in, followed by his gang.page: 124
Annie's Father was at once overpowered, and Annie herself lay bound with cords on the drawing‐room sofa. Sam Redfern set a guard round the lonely hut, and all human aid was despaired of. But you never know. Far away in the Bush a different scene was being enacted.
"Must be Injuns," said a tall man to himself as he pushed his way through the brushwood. It was Jim Carlton, the celebrated detective. "I know them," he added; "they are Apaches." Just then ten Indians in full war‐paint appeared. Carlton raised his rifle and fired, and slinging their scalps on his arm he hastened towards the humble log hut where resided his affianced bride, Annie Ridgway, sometimes known as the Flower of the Bush.
The moon was low on the horizon, and Sam Redfern was seated at a drinking bout with some of his boon companions.
They had rifled the cellars of the hut, and the rich wines flowed like water in the golden goblets of Mr. Ridgway.page: 125
But Annie had made friends with one of the gang, a noble, good‐hearted man who had joined Sam Redfern by mistake, and she had told him to go and get the police as quickly as possible.
"Ha! ha!" cried Redfern, "now I am enjoying myself!" He little knew that his doom was near upon him.
Just then Annie gave a piercing scream, and Sam Redfern got up, seizing his revolver.
"Who are you?" he cried, as a man entered.
"I am Jim Carlton, the celebrated detective," said the new arrival.
Sam Redfern's revolver dropped from his nerveless fingers, but the next moment he had sprung upon the detective with the well‐known activity of the mountain sheep, and Annie shrieked, for she had grown to love the rough Bushranger.
(To be continued at the end of the paper if there is room.)
A new slate is horrid till it is washed in milk. I like the green spots on them to draw page: 126 patterns round. I know a good way to make a slate‐pencil squeak, but I won't put it in because I don't want to make it common.—SUB‐EDITOR.
Peppermint is a great help with arithmetic. The boy who was second in the Oxford Local always did it. He gave me two. The examiner said to him, "Are you eating peppermints?" And he said, "No, Sir." He told me afterwards it was quite true, because he was only sucking one. I'm glad I wasn't asked. I should never have thought of that, and I could have had to say "Yes."—OSWALD.
By Noël.
(Author of "A Dream of Ancient Ancestors.") He isn't really—but he put it in to make it seem more real.
- Hark! what is that noise of rolling
- Waves and thunder in the air?
- 'Tis the death‐knell of the sailors
- And officers and passengers of the good ship Malabar.
- It was a fair and lovely noon
- When the good ship put out of port
- And people said "ah little we think
- How soon she will be the elements' sport."
- She was indeed a lovely sight
- Upon the billows with sails spread.
- But the captain folded his gloomy arms,
- Ah—if she had been a life‐boat instead!
- See the captain stern yet gloomy
- Flings his son upon a rock,
- Hoping that there his darling boy
- May escape the wreck.
- Alas in vain the loud winds roared
- And nobody was saved.
- That was the wreck of the Malabar,
- Then let us toll for the brave.
It is useless to plant cherry‐stones in the hope of eating the fruit, because they don't!
Alice won't lend her gardening tools again, because the last time Noël left them out in the rain, and I don't like it. He said he didn't.
These are useful to play at shop with, until you are ready. Not at dinner‐parties, for they will not grow unless uncooked. Potatoes are not grown with seed, but with chopped‐up potatoes. Apple trees are grown from twigs, which is less wasteful.page: 128
Oak trees come from acorns. Every one knows this. When Noël says he could grow one from a peach stone wrapped up in oak leaves, he shows that he knows nothing about gardening but marigolds, and when I passed by his garden I thought they seemed just like weeds now the flowers have been picked.
A boy once dared me to eat a bulb.
Dogs are very industrious and fond of gardening. Pincher is always planting bones, but they never grow up. There couldn't be a bone tree. I think this is what makes him bark so unhappily at night. He has never tried planting dog‐biscuit, but he is fonder of bones, and perhaps he wants to be quite sure about them first.
SAM REDFERN, OR THE BUSHRANGER's BURIAL.
By Dick.
This would have been a jolly good story if they had let me finish it at the beginning of the paper as I wanted to. But now I have forgotten how I meant it to end, and I have lost my book about Red Indians, and all my Boys of England have been sneaked. The girls say "Good riddance!" so I expect they page: 129 did it. They want me just to put in which Annie married, but I shan't, so they will never know.
We have now put everything we can think of into the paper. It takes a lot of thinking about. I don't know how grown‐ups manage to write all they do. It must make their heads ache, especially lesson books.
Albert‐next‐door only wrote one chapter of the serial story, but he could have done some more if he had wanted to. He could not write out any of the things because he cannot spell. He says he can, but it takes him such a long time he might just as well not be able. There are one or two things more. I am sick of it, but Dora says she will write them in.
Legal answer wanted. A quantity of excellent string is offered if you know whether there really is a law passed about not buying gunpowder under thirteen.—DICKY.
The price of this paper is one shilling each, and sixpence extra for the picture of the Malabar going down with all hands. If we page: 130 sell one hundred copies we will write another paper.
* * * * *
And so we would have done, but we never did. Albert‐next‐door's uncle gave us two shillings, that was all. You can't restore fallen fortunes with two shillings!

Aging in Place: A Real Choice
As people age, they may be faced
with making the decision as to whether to move out of
their existing home where they have raised family. Too
often, these homes are not conducive to the physical
challenges that elders may face in their advancing
years. A recent study of aging baby boomers shows an
overwhelming propensity to remain in their current homes
after retirement. As a result, many home builder and
housing associations throughout the country are
organizing educational activities to highlight programs
and support services, such as healthcare, chore services
and transportation, which will enable elders to age
comfortably in place.
Consumers who plan to age in place should take proactive
steps to modify their homes while they are still
financially and physically able. The National
Association of Home Builders recommends the following
There should be at least one bedroom and one bathroom on
the first floor. First floor living is a high priority
for older adults. Having a full bath and a master
bedroom on the main floor makes it easier for those who
have trouble climbing stairs.
There should be conveniently located and easy to use
controls and handles. Raised electrical outlets,
electrical switches positioned slightly lower, and
thermostats with large, easy to read numbers are perfect
for older people.
Installing lever handles makes it easier for people with
arthritis to open doors.
There should be no-step entrances. Having at least one
entry without steps creates easier access for everyone,
regardless of ability. It may be appropriate to install
a wheelchair ramp in at least one entrance as well.
There should be extra maneuvering space throughout the
home. Wider doors and hallways can make a home more
There should be drawers instead of shelves in the lower
kitchen cabinets, which would accommodate a person in a
wheelchair. In addition, shelves under the kitchen sink
and stovetop can be converted from storage space to knee
space for those who prefer to clean and cook while
seated. Changing knobs on the kitchen cabinets to
D-shaped pulls that are a contrasting color to the
cabinet doors make it much easier for the older person
to grasp. Changes to the sink area can include changing
the faucet to the single-handle lever type and
installing an extra-long hose for the faucet sprayer.
This would allow the older person to fill large pots
that are sitting on the stove.

How to Wear a Bow Tie Vol: 3
The gentlemen above has done a great job of using his bow tie to complement his overall casual approach on a classic and formal look; broadcloth button up, tie and suspenders.
Bow ties are often seen as neat and tidy, however, as demonstrated above, they can also be a bit disheveled and messy. The fussy nature of a bow tie does not always have to be fought, embrace it, let it reflect your mood or the days temperament.

Franci Grajs Stakes Claim To Being #1 85kg Kickboxer With Enfusion Win
- Written by Rian Scalia
With yesterday's Enfusion tournament, we saw a series of fights that helped determine who the number one kickboxer at 85kg really is, with Franci Grajs laying stake to that claim.
Franci Grajs, Andrew Tate, Sahak Parparyan and Ritchie Hocking all had won two fights on the Enfusion TV show to qualify for this tournament. Going in, Tate and Sahak were the favorites, and at the time, if you were forced to pick a number one at 85kg, you'd probably say Sahak, with Tate close behind.
But that's why they fight the fights, and it sure didn't play out like it looked like it might on paper. In previewing the tournament I was sure to make note that Franci Grajs was a very formidable opponent and not a pushover for Sahak. I can't say that I wasn't expecting a Sahak Parparyan vs. Andrew Tate final though.
Franci Grajs fought a very smart fight against Sahak, staying on the outside and using his range to set up kicks. When Sahak would try to storm in with power punches, Grajs would clinch and land some effective knees. The fight was close but to me, Grajs was the clear winner. Already in the semi final, the perceived number one heading in had been beaten.
In the other semi final, Andrew Tate had made quick work of Ritchie Hocking. After that, I won't lie, I expected Tate to win the final in impressive fashion. What was most impressive about the final however, was the way in which Franci Grajs just completely turned it up a notch from the semi finals. Grajs knew what his plan was right away, and that was to enforce the clinch on Tate, landing some damaging knee strikes while Tate tried to punch out. Grajs ended up just being too much in the clinch, winning via KO in the first round from a series of punches and knees against the ropes.
With the win, Grajs won $30 000 and the third season of Enfusion. Aside from that though, he also laid stake to the claim that he is the number one kickboxer at 85kg. We don't have rankings for that weight, but if we did, he'd surely be at the top. Grajs beat two top fighters that are still top fighters, including Sahak who was probably number one going in.
Another thing I'd like to emphasize is what I talked about in the preview; how aside from being the number one, we now have another established name in a division without many established, top fighters. Franci Grajs made the most of his opportunity in winning this tournament. He went from a relative unknown to now being the number one kickboxer in his weight division. Not only is it huge for his status, it will also probably advance his career, with more potential fight offers coming his way, and potentially offers from the likes of GLORY, who I'm sure are now interested.

WHO: Governments should act against the five hepatitis viruses that can cause severe liver infections and lead to 1.4 million deaths every year
Singapore: The World Health Organization (WHO) is urging governments to act against the five hepatitis viruses that can cause severe liver infections and lead to 1.4 million deaths every year. Some of these hepatitis viruses, most notably types B and C, can also lead to chronic and debilitating illnesses such as liver cancer and cirrhosis, and in addition can lead to loss of income and high medical expenses for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
Viral hepatitis is referred to as a 'silent epidemic' because most persons do not realize that they are infected and, over decades, slowly progress to liver disease. Many countries are only now realizing the magnitude of the disease burden and devising ways to address it.
"The fact that many hepatitis B and C infections are silent, causing no symptoms until there is severe damage to the liver, points to the urgent need for universal access to immunization, screening, diagnosis and antiviral therapy," said Dr Keiji Fukuda, assistant director general, Health Security and the Environment, WHO. "Many of the measures needed to prevent the spread of viral hepatitis disease can be put in place right now, and doing so will offset the heavy economic costs of treating and hospitalizing patients in future."
According WHO findings, 37 percent of the countries have national strategies for viral hepatitis, and more work is needed in treating hepatitis. It also highlights that while most of the countries (82 percent) have established hepatitis surveillance programmes, only half of them include the monitoring of chronic hepatitis B and C, which are responsible for most severe illnesses and deaths.
WHO is currently developing new hepatitis C screening, care and treatment guidelines, which will provide recommendations on seven key areas such as testing approaches; behavioural interventions (alcohol reduction); non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis; and the selection of hepatitis C drug combinations.

For A&M, it's the mania Manziel built, not the stadiumMay 14, 2014 Updated: May 14, 2014 9:15pm
The A&M in Texas A&M now stands for Agricultural & Manziel. There is no more 12th Man. There is a 2nd Man to honor Manziel's jersey number. The lyrics in the chorus of "The Spirit of Aggieland" have been changed to: "We are the Manziels, the Manziels are we." The renovated football stadium will be renamed "Kyle Field, The House That Johnny Built."

You are here
Just wanted to let you know about a can't-miss event, folks. After a successful inaugural spring show, the Lowcountry Artist Market is back and open this Saturday, November 13, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.! The one-day market featuring handmade and vintage everything garnered rave reviews from its spring shoppers, prompting this weekend's Fall show. A little background: organizer Kristen Thompson Gastaldo put together the event by combing the popular Etsy.com site for Lowcountry sellers. This expanded to include all local purveyors of vintage goods, home and garden wares, handmade jewelry, and more.
My opinion? It's the place to be for young, style-savvy folks who want to either glean a bit of handmade inspiration or buy up the fruits of Charleston neighbors' labors.
Here's a sampling of some of the vendors. And if you do head out to the show, let us know what goods you score!

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
SALTILLO – The process of fixing Park Ridge subdivision could be under way after the Saltillo Board of Aldermen approved sending a request of approval to the Mississippi Department of Environment Quality.
The subdivision is plagued with improperly designed roads and drainage that has led to potholes, flooding and erosion. Residents say the developer, Fred Collins, refuses to fix the problem.
Saltillo Public Works Director Richard Feist said the problems could be fixed for about $85,000 but the streets and utilities were never dedicated to the city and the city can't legally operate on private property.
The roads cannot be accepted by the city of Saltillo before they have been approved by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and the Mississippi Department of Health.
Feist said because the subdivision has sewer clean-outs instead of manholes, MDEQ will likely deny approval of the subdivision's infrastructure.
The letter approved by the board Tuesday will ask MDEQ to approve the infrastructure knowing that if property dedicated to and accepted by the city, the clean-outs will be replaced with manholes.
Since board members are approaching the final quarter of the last year of their terms, they are limited in the amount of money they can expend.
Just over $61,000 was moved to city's capital outlay budget from reserves as a part of the board's final budget revision. The money can be combined with the $24,000 bond Collins was required to post when he started the development to complete the project.
If the project costs more than 25 percent of the city's originally published budget, the board isn't allowed to execute the funding during the final quarter, per state law.
Alderman Scott Knight told the board he wanted to go ahead and move the money and then ask the city's CPA to see if the project falls within 25 percent of the budget.
"I understand the odds are against us in getting all the approvals in time but I move that we move monies over so they will be readily available in case we can do something," Knight said. "If the CPA tells us we can't use it, it goes right back into the budget."

The Newfoundland and Labrador government appears to be more secretive than any other provincial government in Canada, based on certain documents it refuses to let the public see.
In fact, according to one Memorial University professor who studies politics and government, current government policy when it comes to cabinet decisions is so restrictive it calls into question whether we live in a democratic society.
The critical documents in question are called "orders in council," and in every other province in Canada, they're publicly available in one form or another.
But after more than two weeks of trying to get a straight answer from the Newfoundland and Labrador government, The Telegram was unable to determine whether citizens in this province have the same rights.
An order in council is a formal decision of cabinet, which the lieutenant-governor signs off on. It is a legally binding document, and has almost the same status as a piece of legislation.
The orders only contain the decision of cabinet; they do not in any way give a reason for the decision, or reveal the deliberations of cabinet that led to the final order.
The federal government posts all orders in council online, as do most provincial governments.
A few provinces have websites that direct citizens as to who to call, or what office to visit, to view copies of the orders in council.
But no such information exists on the Newfoundland and Labrador government website.
When The Telegram filed an access to information request for orders in council in 2011, several documents were either partially or totally censored by government officials.
The Telegram first inquired Feb. 7 with communications officials in Executive Council on how a citizen would go about getting copies of orders in council.
A day later, we were told the question should be directed to Minister Keith Hutchings who is responsible for the Office of Public Engagement, which takes in Access to Information and Protection of Privacy legislation.
When The Telegram spoke to Hutchings Feb. 14 — a week after the initial query was made — he said he didn't know whether orders in council are publicly available documents in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Hutchings directed The Telegram to the cabinet secretariat — which falls under Executive Council, the department The Telegram originally contacted.
"I can't clarify that," he said. "If you've made a request to cabinet secretariat and they've turned you down, that's the answer to your question."
The Telegram made a request early this week for copies of several orders in council — including the ones that were blacked out in the 2011 access to information request — and several days later, we have still not received any documents from the cabinet secretariat.
An official sent an email to The Telegram saying something would be provided early next week.
Hutchings said some of the orders could only be released based on the restrictions of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act; since the government amended that law in June, it has been widely criticized as one of the most restrictive access to information laws in the country.
Memorial University political science professor Kelly Blidook seemed a bit flabbergasted.
He said in the structure of government, an order in council is basically equivalent to a law, and the idea that it might not be public is problematic.
"It's laws. There can't be a limitation on which citizens get to know which laws are in place. It just sounds so weird to me," he said. "The law has to be available to everybody, and it has to treat everybody in an equal manner."
Blidook said one of the fundamental principles of a democratic society, going all the way back to the Magna Carta, is the idea that everyone is equal under the law — the notion that certain legally binding orders of government would only be available to some citizens but not other people seems to contradict that.
"That only occurs in undemocratic systems," he said. "As a citizen, I get to know what the laws are, right?"
But if orders in council are currently kept secret by the government, that's not necessarily anything new.
David Vardy, who was clerk of the Executive Council from 1978 to 1985, said back in his day, they were not public documents.
"It wasn't a big issue. I think it was just accepted at the time that orders in council were confidential, and that was that," he said, but added he doesn't think that should still be the case.
"I think it reflects, sort of, an antiquated approach to government — a very protective, secretive approach."
Liberal MHA Andrew Parsons said the fact the government will not make the documents public further confirms his impression that the government is committed to holding back as much information as possible.
"It's the most secretive government in the history of this province," he said.
"It's one thing to make their decisions under cover of night, but now they're not even going to tell you what they're doing?"

11.11: Future Human Population Growth
Does the world seem crowded?
In some places, there seem to be people everywhere. Times Square in New York City is definitely one of those places. In other places, there are hardly any people at all. Does that mean that the world is not overpopulated? Is space all that people need?
Growth Rates Around the World
With ample food, better health and easier work, people live longer. Children are much more likely to reach adulthood and have their own children. In many countries death rates have gone down dramatically, but birth rates remain high. This means that the population is growing. Figure below shows the growth rates of human populations all over the world.
World population growth rates. Is the population growing faster in the wealthiest countries or the poorest countries?
The Future
Human ingenuity has allowed the population to continue to grow. We've increased Earth's carrying capacity for humans by our genius. We grow crops, trade for needed materials, and design ways to exploit resources that are difficult to get at, such as groundwater. We use long-buried ancient organisms for fuel. We have broken the rules for biological populations. (Of course, not everyone's needs are met. Many people live in desperate poverty.)
Of course, there's a flip side to this. For the population to continue to grow, more advances in agriculture will be needed. The best lands are already in use. Most rivers that can be dammed have been dammed. In many aquifers, groundwater is not replenished on the time frame needed. Fossil fuels too are limited. Obtaining fossil fuels or developing new power sources will be more costly.
Future Population Growth
The rate of increase of the growth rate of the human population is decreasing. You can see this in Figure below. The population may stop growing by the mid 2000s. Some scientists think that the human population will peak at about 9 billion people. What will need to change for the population to stop growing then?
Try to locate on this graph Earth's carrying capacity for humans. Do you think this projection is very accurate or just a guess?
- Humans have exceeded the carrying capacity of Earth for humans by their ingenuity.
- The rate of population increase is starting to decline. The population is still exploding though.
- The growth rate is higher in less developed nations.

It's Sew Emma Spotlight: Tumbling Blocks
Last week we introduced our newest series of little patterns, our "Little P" patterns! So far they have been very well received, with plenty of oohs, aahs and squeals at how cute they are!
Tumbling Blocks is the quilt that launched it all.
For a long time I've been wanting to design super easy quilts that are interesting and show the many different ways to use fat quarters (totally appropriate for us, I'd say!). Just as this thought process was going, we were shown the Vintage Baby line by Lori Whitlock from Riley Blake Designs, and I went nutso over it. This fabric completely and utterly screams Kimberly. So precious, sweet and light with adorable prints – making it perfect for a small, simple quilt using fat quarters. See where I was going with this?
After a bit of churning in my mind, I drew out Tumbling Blocks – blocks and rows made multiple times and switched up. It blows our minds with adorable-ness, but anyone can do it! And it only uses a few fat quarters, one background and a binding, which you may already have laying around in your stash. Another bonus is that it took me less than four hours to make this sample. With four kiddos in the house, that is a very good thing! I knew I was onto something, and thus Little P's were born!
While the cover quilt uses soft, frothy pastels, we have made other samples that use bright, vibrant fabrics that look equally awesome. Yep, they are made with the adorable Savanna Bop by Thomas Knauer!
Try Tumbling Blocks out today! Promise you'll love it!
Shop owners, you can find Tumbling Blocks at United Notions, Brewer and E. E. Schenck as ISE-501.

Microsoft Attacks Gmail with "Scroogled" Campaign

Microsoft's Scroogled campaign
(Source: CNN)
The campaign tells email users that Google scans all sent and received emails for advertisement keywords
Microsoft is taking
a serious jab at Google's
Gmail service in a new campaign called "Don't Get Scroogled by Gmail."
Microsoft's "Scroogled" campaign is an effort to draw new customers to its own email service, Outlook -- and plans to do so by informing Internet users nationwide of Gmail's practices.
Microsoft is telling the nation that Google scans each email that is sent and received through the Gmail service for keywords that can help it target users with more accurate advertisements. Microsoft even commissioned a study, conducted by GfK Roper, where 70 percent of users were unaware of Google's email scanning and 88 percent disapproved of it once they knew.
"Emails are personal — and people feel that reading through their emails to sell ads is out of bounds," said Stefan Weitz, senior director of Online Services at Microsoft. "We honor the privacy of our Outlook.com users, and we are concerned that Google violates that privacy every time an Outlook.com user exchanges messages with someone on Gmail. This campaign is as much about protecting Outlook.com users from Gmail as it is about making sure Gmail users know what Google's doing."
Microsoft will spread the news and its new word "Scroogled" all over TV, Internet and print advertisements. It even
launched a petition
to stop going through user emails for the sake of ad sales, where it has received nearly 600 signatures of the required 25,000 at the time this article was written.
Microsoft was even nice enough to offer a few examples of Google's practices.
"For example, if you write a friend to let her know you are separating from your husband, Google sells ads against this information to divorce lawyers, who post ads alongside it," said Microsoft. "Or if you ask a friend for vacation suggestions, Google uses this information to target you with ads from travel agencies or airlines that want your business."
There has been some tension between the two tech companies, as Microsoft
cried "antitrust" over a YouTube snub
last month. More specifically, the Redmond, Wash. tech giant was upset that Windows Phone still could not get a full YouTube app while the competition (Android and iOS) were able. It added that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was not doing enough to force Google to conform to antitrust laws (Google got out of a two-year FTC investigation with only a slap on the wrist).
Also, Google had filed a patent claim with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) against Microsoft that
would stop the Windows giant from applying video compression technology to the Xbox
video game console. While it dropped this patent claim against Microsoft last month, others are still pending.

Alvin Townley, author of Legacy of Honor has completed his second book.
I was fortunate enough to be contacted and received an advanced copy (proof) and then a completed copy.
Let me tell you that Alvin wrote a winner here.

The bool proves that the Boy Scout Program leaves a lasting impact on those men that drive them to greatness and adventure.
I absolutly love the book and highly recommend it. A must for every Scout and Scouters book shelf, after you read if of course.

COLUMBUS – The graduate education program in speech-language pathology at MississippiUniversity for Women has been re-accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech – Language Pathology (CAA).
MUW's program was found to be in full compliance with all accreditation standards and no weaknesses were identified. The re-accreditation is for a period of eight years, beginning Sept. 1, 2011, through Aug. 31, 2019.
Dr. Sheila Adams, dean for the College of Nursing & Speech-Language Pathology, said, "The result of this recent accreditation visit reinforces the ongoing excellence of the Speech-Language Pathology Program at MississippiUniversity for Women. The faculty are exceptional and are constantly monitoring changes in the profession and incorporating those changes into the curriculum. This guarantees our graduates are outstanding and are well prepared to enter the profession as speech-language pathologists."
The CAA of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) accredits graduate programs that prepare individuals to enter professional practice in audiology and/or speech-language pathology. The CAA was established by ASHA and is authorized to function autonomously in setting and implementing standards and awarding accreditation.
The CAA has identified the following components as essential to quality education in the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology and has established its accreditation standards accordingly:
– administrative structure and governance
– faculty
– curriculum (academic and clinical education)
– students
– assessment
– program resources
Joy Townsend, interim chair of MUW's Department of Speech-Language Pathology, said, "The intention of accreditation is to promote excellence in the academic preparation of future professionals while assuring the public that graduates of accredited programs are educated in a core set of knowledge and skills for independent professional practice. This re-accreditation report is particularly strong as the program was found to be in complete compliance on all standards. This is quite an accomplishment and a testimony to the dedication of the faculty."
MUW offers an undergraduate, pre-professional degree and a master of science degree in speech-language pathology. Additionally, the program operates the Speech and HearingCenter which provides speech, language and hearing services to the public and allows supervised graduate students to learn in a "hands-on" environment.
For additional information about MUW's program, contact the department at (662) 329-7270 or visit http://web2.muw.edu/index.php/en/main-speech-path/.

Easy waffles turn hearty with the addition of cheese and sausage. Breakfast, brunch or dinner never tasted this good!
To prevent waffles from sticking, prepare waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. After each use, remove all traces of baked-on batter or crumbs.
Besides maple syrup, apples in any form will taste delicious with these waffles. Try fresh apple slices, chunky apple sauce, apple butter, hot apple pie filling or fried apples with cinnamon. So simple, so good!

Yesterday at Media Nation, my friend and former colleague Dan Kennedy argued that the Beverly Citizen erred in posting video footage of the Beverly Horribles parade, which contained some pretty off-color references to the ongoing Gloucester teen-pregnancy story. (By "pretty off-color references," I mean, among other things, a giant squirting penis and a sign reading "She smelled like tuna/I should have pulled out sooner.") Here's the video in question; things get interesting around 2:20:
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VwlDoUSyktI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VwlDoUSyktI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed>
As Dan notes, the Citizen's written coverage of the parade was rather restrained. (In a news story, the giant squirting penis was described "as large, realistically shaped phallic symbol spraying water from the front of a truck"; in a blog post, Citizen editor Dan MacAlpine said he wouldn't get into describing the signs, calling them "lewd at best.") This restraint is the basis for Dan's argument that the Citizen shouldn't have posted the video:
Look, it happened. Hundreds of people saw it. Hundreds more heard about
it. There's no sense in pretending otherwise. But if they didn't think
they should quote from the signs, then they shouldn't have showed them
in the video. As for the penis — well, let just say I think the written
description was sufficient.
I disagree. The video should be our basis for saying whether the Citizen's written coverage was appropriate, not the other way around. The video, after all, is the rawest, most objective representation of what happened in Beverly this past weekend. And if the good people of Beverly really want to ponder what some of their neighbors did in the Horribles parade, they need all the information they can get. An argument can definitely be made that the Citizen's written coverage was too prudish. But if it was, the posting of the video was a much-needed corrective.
(Quick disclosure: the Citizen is now owned by GateHouse Media, which purchased Community Newspaper Company in 2006. When the Citizen and CNC were owned by Pat Purcell, I worked at another CNC paper, and know MacAlpine slightly.)
