She Might Have Been a Blogger
Slowly, but steadily, I've been transcribing my great-grandmother Virta Knutz's journals – over 500 sheets of notebook paper spanning nine years. Next will be a file folder with another hundred pages or so, titled "Our Trips." After that, another pile of pages called "Memories."
Transcribing her journals has given me an idea of what her life was like on the farm. Her children lived nearby, so her days will often filled with grandchildren, as well as the household chores, made lengthier and a bit more mundane by the lack of modern appliances. At the end of her day, she would write. I suspect it was probably the only thing she did just for herself. What was her motivation? Was she lonely out on the farm? Wanting to share her day with someone, after everyone else was in bed? Or did she just feel an inexplicable need to put the pen to the paper? I think many bloggers would know something of how she felt.
If Virta were alive today, I suspect she would be one of us…

Do you have plans for the finished transcription?? If you said before, it has slipped outta my brain cells, ole leaky things that they are! LOLReplyDelete
You're so blessed to have these writings and to get to know her from the heart!ReplyDelete
Becky, you are so right - all I remember of her was sitting in her rocking chair with her hearing aid turned off... lol...so getting to know her like this is such a treat. Carol, I am not sure what I'm going to do if/when I ever get all this transcribed. I do have a website set up for this family, might post it there. Seems a shame to get all this transcribed and then keep it to myself.ReplyDelete
I have my mother's diaries from 1935 to when she died in 1987. Sometimes she'd write everyday, other times she'd go weeks or months on end without writing. I'm sure having 5 kids made it so sporadic. We transcribed them in the late 80s using a typewriter. I've been debating on how to go about putting them online, or if I even want to. The '60s were a tough time for her and the diaries show that in full detail (5 teens at once)...I'm not sure she'd want her grandchildren to see what 'pains in the butts' their parents were at their age! She wrote for an outlet of her frustrations...guess she thought they'd be buried with her.ReplyDelete
Mary, I'll bet you have some fascinating reading - 5 teenagers at one time would *have* to have it's share of frustrations!ReplyDelete
I got goosebumps all over reading this post. What a gem! I am so happy for you that you have this way of getting to know your grandmother.ReplyDelete
Perhaps you should check with her children and see if they mind having their mother's diaries shared :) That might solve your dilema at least for the time being...
Hi Michelle, not sure if you were talking about Mary's diaries or mine, but my gr-grandmother's children are long gone. Nothing in her journals, so far, that is terribly personal or "sensitive" - at least not so far. :)ReplyDelete
Sorry Karen, Got confused. Was referring to Mary's diaries. Anyway, I did love this post and that you have had a chance to get a chance to "know" your grandmother better :)ReplyDelete
It is such a treat to have her journals and be able to get to know her personally in a way that most of us will never know our ancestors. I wonder what you can learn from her experiences to use in your own life - even though you both live in very different times. I hope you'll share her journals with the rest of us. Even though she's not our grandmother, perhaps some of the experiences she had were like some of the experiences some of our ancestors had. You didn't mentioned the years she lived and journaled. I have to admit I'm just a little envious....ReplyDelete
Hi Nancy,ReplyDelete
Virta was born in 1890 and died in 1972. Her journal, at least the one I'm working on now, was from 1956 to 1965. During this time, they retired from the farm and moved into town, for the first time since she was a child, so it will be interesting to see what she thought of that. :)

Gout attack symptoms often develop rapidly overnight and worsen over the next 24-48 hours.
- They can be triggered by many things including:
- Joint injury or other trauma
- Surgery or sudden, severe illness
- Psoriasis flares
- Infection
- Certain medications, such as chemotherapy, diuretics, or intravenous contrast media
- Crash diets and fasting
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Eating large portions of certain foods high in purines
- Dehydration (not getting enough fluids)
- Fructose sweetened drinks
- They can happen one time, several times, or chronically.
A single gout attack usually only affects only one joint, but recurrent attacks may affect more than one joint. The big toe is the most common site of gout. Other sites include the ankle, heel, foot instep, wrist, elbow, or fingers.
Common symptoms in the joint include:
- Severe pain and sensitivity of the joint
- Extreme tenderness
- Swelling
- Redness
- Warmth
Fever and flu-like symptoms may also be present.
Recurrent attacks can lead to permanent joint damage, especially if gout remains untreated. Uric acids can build up and create deposits called tophi. They can lead to:
- Hard lumps under the skin near or around joints
- Hard lumps at the rim of the ear, fingertips, cornea of eye, aorta, spine, or around the brain
High levels of uric acid in the body can also lead to complications in other areas of the body, such as the kidney stones or chronic renal failure.

I cooked this authentic Nyonya dish for a pot luck party when a good friend of mine came to visit her niece in New York from San Francisco.The day before I cooked this dish,I called my mom back in Malaysia.I'm seeking her advise,maybe I should said her knowledge to teach me how to make nasi kunyit with chewy and spongy texture.She told me to soaked the glutinous rice overnight before steam it the next day.I also added some pounded fresh tumeric in the soaking rice as she suggested but the color doesn't turn up as yellow as I expected.(maybe it's coz by storing in the freezer too long)Long story short my mom told me not to add water in the rice while steaming,just sprinkle some coconut milk and salt on the rice when it's almost ready.No wonder, my previous cooked nasi kunyit texture taste and look like porridge(bubur)!!Now I know the reason why I have a deconstructed nasi kunyit that look like nasi impit!!lol!

Ghareth by Jason Compton
The Cowled Wizards will try to squelch the magic of the twinkling of stars, next. -- Ghareth
Version 0.91 now available, fixes the Madeen bug where Ghareth would leave the party and vanish.
A couple hundred new lines, give or take! A hastily-recorded soundset, plus three other clips! Almost 20 banters! A low-level dual-class NPC! Magic and moralizing! Almost 16 hours in the making!
Ghareth, a human fighter/mage, is the first One-Day NPC(tm) attempt. Ghareth requires Throne of Bhaal to function. With the release of V0.91 (bugfix), no One-Day NPC was actually completed in a single day-long period. But we're close.
Hessa by Bonnie Rutledge
Some people like bunnies and trees. And those people? I like to kill them. -- Hessa
One neutral evil, half-elf thief, level 12, 13 or 15 depending on the party's experience at the first encounter! One small NPC-related quest! One small, new quest-related area! One new soundset of dubious entertainment value! 12 banters and 20-something interjections!
Hessa is a One-Day NPC* for Baldur's Gate 2, an evil half-elf thief, and a preview of things to come in the Surayah mod. Hessa requires Throne of Bhaal to function. Hessa requires starting a new game.
* (Bons cheated and took one week. Consider it Pluto's first One-Day NPC.)
Alassa by SimDing0
This is the best time. So much can happen during the night! -- Alassa
An evil female thief A few interjects, epilogue, etc. ...and some banter A new soundset (actually also done within a day; cheers Sorschana!) Something that could have been a quest if I wasn't so lazy A hastily assembled readme
Alassa is a One-Day NPC** for Baldur's Gate 2, an evil thief who knows how to get what she wants. Alassa requires Throne of Bhaal to function.
** (Oh so close, but Sim decided to sleep and finish the following morning.)
Tiax for BG2by Olga Silaeva
A comedy-evil gnome!Banters with all the BG2 NPCs!Survives Spellhold after all!The world's first bilingual twenty-four hour NPC!
Tiax for BG2 is Kulyok's one-day interpretation of the dreaded gnomish spellslinger from BG1. No longer must Tiax fall to lesser talents in Spellhold--take him along for the rest of the game!
Coran for BG2by Olga Silaeva
Thief, archer and romantic!A full friendship path and some innuendo to boot!Banters with all barmaids in Athkatla!Stays with you until the end!
Coran for BG2 is a One-Weekend NPC created for those players, who, like the mod's author, couldn't get enough of Coran's company, having played with him in Baldur's Gate I. Now Coran will keep you company in SoA and ToB with some light banter and a flask of Elverquisst!
Branwen for BG2by Olga Silaeva
The lovely priestess of Tempus is back!New friendship and romance for SoA and ToB!At least four talks with all BG1 NPCs in BG2!
Branwen for BG2 is a one-week NPC of sorts, but she's got all content you'd expect from a modern romanceable NPC in BG2, including flirts, a friendship path, additional plot-related conversations, Bodhi's abduction, Saradush talk and Gorion's Wraith sequence.
However, that's not all. If you're a modder who is in need of some working NPC code, Branwen is the mod for you. All her files are heavily commented and easily explained. Basically, Branwen is a huge tutorial - and she's playable, too!
Bruce, the Cockney Barfighter was the subject of a One-Day NPC festival. Different authors, armed with nothing but the name of the character, worked to develop the ultimate man's man. To date, three Bruces have been published.

[Editor's note: GeekWire is running a series of profiles on the startups participating in this year's TechStars Seattle incubator program. Check back each day at 1:30 p.m. for a new profile, leading up to Demo Day on Nov 1.]
There's no shortage of online tools to help workers collaborate online and work more efficiently.
But Nada Aldahleh believes her new startup, Sandglaz, stands out from the long list of competitors. Among other things, Sandglaz's productivity tools allow users to automatically receive email reminders for meetings and deadlines as well as automatically schedule tasks important to the team.
Here's more from Aldaleh, who notes that the company's goal is to help small teams conquer to-do lists and collaborate in new ways.
Explain what you do so our parents can understand it: "For small high performance teams, Sandglaz is a simple way to collaborate and plan."
Inspiration hit us when: "My Co-Founder, Zaid Zawaideh, was managing a team at CIBC bank and looking for an agile way to collaborate and plan his teams activities. He tried task lists but they had no planning capabilities, and tried gantt charts which have too much overhead. This is when he realized there is a gap in the market for teams like his. There is no simple fast way for small high performance teams to collaborate and plan. So he brought the idea to me. I have extensive experience in agile methodologies for software development teams. I loved the idea, I have a lot of experience in this area, and so I was in."
VC, Angel or Bootstrap: "With getting into TechStars we got $120,000."
Our 'secret sauce' is: "We have insight on how small high-performance teams actually work. We've been part of many and have led several. We know how important productivity and agility is. We're familiar with their workflow and have created an app that works with them rather than enforces a workflow on them."
The smartest move we've made so far: "Focus on the customer's needs."
The biggest mistake we've made so far: "Not seeking a bigger network of mentorship in the past. We're happy to be a part of the TechStars network now."
Would you rather have Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg or Bezos in your corner: "Jobs. He's a product genius."
Our world domination strategy starts when: "It already started. Simplified planning is our first step in the collaboration industry. We already have a product and traction. Our customers already love it. So, we'll keep iterating, keep improving, and keep growing."
Rivals should fear us because: "We have insight into this market and we execute well; our product is top rated on the Google Chrome Webstore."
We are truly unique because: "Sandglaz tells you and your team what you should work on next without asking for extra information like task priorities, dates and time estimates. We're the only app that allows you to plan with no extra overhead."
The biggest hurdle we've overcome is: "The guts to start. When we started we didn't know much about startups and didn't know anyone in the startup industry; our families and friends thought we were crazy. We still thought we had a good idea and the right team, so we jumped right in."
What is the most important thing you learned at TechStars: "I've got a lot of help and feedback on positioning. Positioning is key, so this is going to make a big difference for us.
What was your most memorable moment in TechStars: "There isn't a single moment. There has been many highs and many lows. I enjoy sharing experiences with other teams. I enjoy learning new things everyday. It's been an awesome experience. I feel lucky to have this opportunity."
What's the one piece of advice you'd give to other entrepreneurs just starting out: "Learn fast, and iterate fast. Most importantly keep at it, you'll have high days and low days, just don't give up."

Minnesota has a graduated driver's licensing (GDL) system, which is designed to ease inexperienced drivers into the driving environment. The first phase of the GDL system is to obtain an instruction permit.
Graduated License ProgramThe graduated driver's license law (GDL) compliments the existing driver's license program by introducing a provisional license stage for young drivers. It is a multi-tiered program, designed to ease young novice drivers into the driving environment.
The Graduated License Program provides three phases of licensing for persons under 18 years of age:
Phase I - Instruction PermitApplicant Qualifications:
The permit is valid for two years and may be renewed.It is illegal to practice driving without a valid instruction permit. When you drive, the instruction permit must be in immediate possession.Phase II - Provisional License
The provisional license is the second phase of the GDL system. Anyone 18 years of age or younger must hold an instruction permit for at least six months before taking a skills (road) test. When you have passed the skills (road) test, you may apply for your provisional license.To qualify for your provisional license you must:
This license is valid for two years from the application date and has restrictions that do not apply to a full driver's license. Every occupant must wear a seat belt or use a child passenger restraint system and you may not use or talk on a cell phone while driving. This includes using a hands-free cell phone device. Provisional drivers are subject to nighttime and passenger limitations.
Applicant Qualifications:
Pre-Apply for a Driver's License - This will reduce the time you spend at the driver's license office.
Parent's Role in Developing Safe Teen Drivers
Skills (Road) Test Checklist To qualify to take a skills (road test), you must:
Establishing Rules for Newly Licensed TeensStudies have found that the risk of a crash and ticket is highest during the first year of licensure. A natural strategy for mentoring new drivers comes from the combination of progressive privileges and rational consequences. Some parents find a written contract enhances the agreement they make with their teen driver about driving privileges (sample contract).
Step 1 Daylight conditions only
No passengers or limited number of passengersNo cell phone use
Step 2 Nighttime driving, with a curfew and no passengers
More daytime passengers allowed
Step 3 Nighttime driving with one passenger
Step 4 All road and traffic conditions allowed
Step 5 Unrestricted privileges to drive

Vanessa's Law In memory of Vanessa Weiss, killed just days before her 16th birthday in May 2003, Vanessa's Law was passed a year later. She was a passenger in a vehicle driven by an unlicensed 15-year-old. Under Vanessa's Law, your provisional license will be revoked because of an impaired driving crime or crash-related moving violation; you lose your license until you are at least 18. If you commit these crimes as an unlicensed driver, you cannot apply for a permit until you are 18.Provisions of this law:
An unlicensed teen who was convicted of a crash-related moving violation or an alcohol/controlled substance-related violation (a violation of one or more statutes, including DWI, Implied Consent, Open Bottle or Underage Drinking and Driving/Not a Drop Law will not be given a license, an instruction permit or provisional license until age 18.
After turning 18, s/he must meet the reinstatement requirement listed on the withdrawal notice(s), pass the knowledge (written) test for a class D driver's license and then make application for a Minnesota instruction permit. Once in possession of a valid instruction permit, the person must hold this instruction permit for at least six months before taking the skills (road) test (or at least three months if age 19 or older).
A provisional license holder whose driving privilege is revoked due to a crash-related moving violation or an alcohol/controlled substance-related violation cannot regain a license until age 18 or until the withdrawal period has concluded, whichever is longer.
At that time, the person must complete these steps to obtain a full driver's license: Comply with all requirements for reinstatement listed on the withdrawal notice. In most cases, this will be:serving the withdrawal period
passing DWI knowledge (written) test
paying $680 reinstatement fee
applying for a Minnesota driver's license
Complete a 30-hour classroom driver education course (an online computer course is unacceptable)
Apply for a Minnesota instruction permit (in addition to the driver's license, as above)
Once reinstated, hold the instruction permit for three months
During this three-month period, complete six hours of a behind-the-wheel driver education
If you have questions about Vanessa's Law, call (651) 296-2025. Read the letter sent to violators.Not A Drop Law (Underage Drinking and Driving Law)Not a Drop says that if an officer observes you operating or in physical control of a motor vehicle and determines that you have been drinking, and the court determines that you committed this offense, your driving privileges will be suspended for either 30 or 180 days. The length of suspension will depend on your prior record. Provisions of this law:
It is illegal for a person under age 21 to operate a motor vehicle while consuming alcoholic beverages or in the physical condition of having ingested an alcoholic beverage. If a person's alcohol concentration level is 0.08 or more, regular DWI laws may apply instead of the underage consumption-while-driving offense.

Nancy Clermont
I am an IT consultant.
I primary use Twitter to look for information related to my work but for information related to news in general (finance, gadget techno, travel, etc).
Colors I love: fushia, bleu, red
I do not like background with image that repeat everywhere (tiled)
I do not like background with dark background color/dark image
My main target audience is anyone interested in technology in general but more specifically: Internet Marketing, Social media, SEO, Adsense, Adwords, ...
I would like the theme to be representative that this is a women Twitter account (for example in the choice of color, of background). But I still want a background that look professional. Most of the time, my tweets will be related to IT world.
Most of my tweets are in French but some are in english.
I want to see in Twitter profile (in any order, with or without title):
- My name (Nancy Clermont)
- My occupation (Consultant)
- Main subjects of interest SEO, Social Media, Blog, Adsense, Adwords, Wordpress, eCommerce, ...
- My company name (Enigma Solution)

UPDATE Nov 25: Precision for the dimensions - 1280px is required.
Nice to have
- Consider the fact that my target audience might speak french or english. So it can be done by using images to represent things, by using words that are the same in french or in english, by not displaying any title, etc.
- More and more people use iPad. It would be great to have background that, once display in an IPad screen, shows something.

A more reserved heroine, but with plenty of plot twists
I liked Mansfield Park, despite its length. I saw it as something of an extrovert's guide to an introvert's world. I don't think Fanny was portrayed as too flawless; her emotions were all over the place, just as many other people's would be. I might have found her too good to be real if her emotions and thoughts hadn't been the main lens through which the reader sees the story, but that would be another story, as they say. Having acted in seven plays, I think the theatrical segment of the story is very well done, although with all the emotional tension involved in that subplot (some of which I can relate to), it was rather stressful to read. This book is somewhat bleaker and less satisfying than, say, Pride and Prejudice, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing or a departure from Austen's intentions - although without a guiding hand such as hers, I highly doubt that the central couple could have survived such a quantity of turbulent events and deceptive interlopers!
I can believe my girl Jane followed the masterpiece Pride and Prejudice with Mansfield Park.
I love this book. Many reviewers describe Fanny as prissy or boring but I see her as having humility rather than weakness and integrity rather than being boring. She is only 18 and has yet to receive genuine love sufficient to enable her to blossom in confidence. Whilst she will always be gentle and considerate she will lose her shyness and insecurity once truly loved by one she can love and cherish in return. Just some real TLC is what she needs to turn the ugly duckling into the swan she really is.
The book is about comparisons: those who carry an inner light of principles and those who have not learnt to listen to it, those who chose stillness and contentment as opposed to those who need constant movement and entertainment, those who value true love and honour as opposed to those who value status and money, chaos and intemperance vs order and duty.
It was written at the beginning of the 1800s which was a time of incredible change. Holding to time honoured principles and not throwing out the good for a new not so good was Austen's perspective.
Whilst I did not agree with some of the judgement on others Fanny makes, at the core she does have the gift of discernment. The one flaw in the book was the final treatment of Maria (pronounced Mariah). She made a serious error which cost her a lot but then her family turned their backs on her. There was no room made for her to develop contrition and learn from what she had chosen to do. I wish Austen had ended the book otherwise but then again, it was probably in keeping with the times; a fallen woman was severely judged in those times. Otherwise, this is one of my favourite novels.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Mansfield Park" and at certain times would even characterize it as a "page-turner." It's a classic for a reason. That said, I am conflicted about the characters of Fanny and Edmond. Does Austen really want us to fully identify and sympathize with them? They're so uptight and prudish! Did Austen really want us to sympathize with their more modern and educated cousins? I'm so curious to know what others think.
Mansfield Park is a beautiful story and book. I absolutely loved it. It was kind of slow at first, but that doesn't last. Fanny is by far my favorite Jane Austen heroine. She is sweet and kind and quiet and polite. She never disappoints you. I absolutely adore her. And Edmund is perfect for her. Despite the fact that for a while he fancies himself deeply in love with a wicked woman, he too is wonderful. I just love this book so much! I cannot wait to find a good adaption of it!
I love most classical literature novels, by all the classical novelist; Jane Austen. Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, and Victor Hugo to name a few. Mansfield Park did not disappoint me at all.
After about 20 years I thought it was time for a re-read of Austen's books. My opinions of this particular book haven't really changed. I still can't appreciate the characters of Fanny and Edmund. The moral overtones of the story and characters really annoys me.
And in the end I rather wish Fanny hadn't gotten the man she wanted because I really think she deserved better.
(Contain spoilers.) I firmly believe no librarian ever read Mansfield Park, otherwise Lord Bertram's burning all the copies of Lover's Vows he found would have banished it from libraries! (Chuckle!) This third book has all Miss Austin's talented penmanship, but very little—or nothing, rather—of the comic situations I found in Pride and Prejudice and most especially in Emma. This is a deeper, more serious novel, highly moralizing, with lots of inner thoughts and questionings, which sometimes might get a bit long to the modern reader unused to this kind of literature. Through this book—as in all her others—she makes very clear what she expected (not only society), that "girls should be quiet and modest" and "perfectly feminine." She condemned, on people in general, the "want of that higher species of self-command, that just consideration of others." In the story 10 year-old Fanny Price, goes to live with her wealthy uncle and aunt, Lord and Lady Bertram, in their beautiful and tranquil estate of Mansfield Park. There she meets four cousins, two girls and two boys, of which, second son, the mature and highly honorable Edmund, becomes her ideal since the beginning. (Edmund was not a priest, but was ordained a couple of chapters before the end of the book.) The story evolves through ups and downs, lots of misunderstandings, to culminate in a happy ending. Unlike what is portrayed in movies inspired by Mansfield Park, Fanny is not treated unkindly, nor relegated to a dungeon-like room. Her sleeping quarters were a "little white attic" with connection to the old "school-room" which contained her plants, her books—of which she had been a collector from the first hour of her commanding a shilling—her writing desk, and her works of charity." The lack of fire in that room was due to her Aunt Norris constant meddling and a shocked Lord Bertrand belatedly corrects this injurious situation. British society was then divided into classes and Fanny, while enjoying much of the benefits of living with the family, belonged to a very poor branch—hence the differed treatment she received. "If tenderness could be ever supposed wanting, good sense and good breeding supplied its place," Jane Austen writes about the Bertrand family in relation to Fanny. Miss Austen's high moral standards permeate the entire book, it is full of Fanny's eagerness to do what is right and proper, to think good thoughts and do good deeds. Good and evil were clearly discerned and exposed in the situations Austen weaves; the elopement of a married woman with a bachelor is to her a "sin of the first magnitude." I feel sure Jane Austen, whose heroines were invariably highly principled, moral young women, would have been devastated had she a chance to see the state of today's youth, particularly of girls. I only wish young women would read more of this kind of literature instead of the filth available now in all American libraries.
This is the first Jane Austen book I read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I plan on reading more of her books in the future.
Jane Austen almost at her finest and definitely at her most hilarious. It was hard keeping track of who was who among the Miss Bertrams and the Crawfords and the brothers, but even the characters acknowledged the difficulty. Austen's final novel is actually a little racy, as men and women in tight laces talk politely until they're blue in the face about how indecorous behaviour is the last thing anyone wants, all while participating in a full theatre production about adultery and wife-swapping. They even get the priest to join in! Conjugal infidelity is actually mentioned. By name! This novel is downright salacious.
And amongst the noisier than usual plot, there is a main character who is an introvert. As an introvert myself, Fanny is an island of calm in the storm of keeping track of who is canoodling who behind the ha-ha. Was Jane Austen an introvert too? She could hardly have done better.
As usual for Austen the prose is exquisite, so light and perfect, the characters making love to each other with their polite conversation. Austen is a master of seduction with all your clothes on. Although also as usual, everything gets wrapped up really quickly at the end and there's no strong finish to the delightful journey.
Cousins getting married, ew.
I am mid read and am enjoying how the characters develop and the relationships change throughout the novel. It's a relaxing, well written and fun read.
It's a very, very tough call, but this is my favorite Jane Austen novel, and beating out Emma and Pride and Predjudice, and Northanger Abbey is no mean feat. I can not explain the fascination that I share with so many people with Austen's writing but share it we do, and next to Dickens she is my favorite novelist.
Fanny annoyed me at times just because she was so physically frail and doesn't always view herself highly, but she is otherwise sensible and does what's right.
I found it a little slow, but very well written.
I normally love Jane Austen novels, but I didn't like this one.
I thought it was really boring at times.
I've heard people call Fanny Price a cookie-cutter, undynamic, goody-two-shoes... and, in a sense, she is. I don't think she makes a single immoral or improper move throughout the entire novel. However, that's precisely what makes this book so interesting -- rather than resolving a situation by making a character undergo a personality change, Austen creates a character who refuses to budge for a millimetre from her moral values, and puts her in extremely difficult situations *without* changing her nature. It's an unconventional approach, and it kept me wondering how the plot would resolve. My favourite Austen.
The tone of Mansfield Park different from other Austen novels but I don't think that should be held against it.
Not one of Jane Austen's best. The book moves really slowly and is quite boring at times. Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are much better.
Fun to read, your typical Jane Austen book. If you like Jane Austen, you'll love this book.
On a personal note, the storyline between Edmund and Fanny frustrated me greatly.

Stila Chianti is a new permanent addition to the Stila Stay all Day Liquid Lipstick lineup. I've got two shades from the Stila All Day Liquid lipsticks, which were infact my first ever foray into liquid lipstick many moons ago. The velvety, creamy texture is forgiving on chapped lips and dries to a soft opaque matte finish. I've worn this so many times since it dropped through my door a few weeks ago and I just cant get enough of it. It lasts so long on, but be conscious that it does rub off in the middle during eating and drinking!
Chianti is a deep dark plum that comes off very purple on me but I really like it. Purples and browns are taking over my makeup routine at the moment as I favour a more grungy look at the moment. It's an odd choice for a spring look but it somehow just works for me.

What Would Convince Victor Reppert to Give Up Christianity?
Loftus asked me for something that would make me give up Christianity. Because the case for and against Christianity is incurably cumulative, I couldn't say "THIS would be a decisive deal-breaker." But I did want to point out something the skeptic, in my opinion, has not provided, nor has come close to providing, namely, a plausible naturalistic story about the founding of Christianity. If one were to emerge, that could lower the probability of Christianity for me, and, to a far lesser extent, the probability of theism.I think this is the challenge for the skeptical community, a challenge that deserves a book length response. Something on the lines of what I wrote here, expanded.
So let me offer several key books that help to do this, okay?
On the Bible as a whole:
The Secret Origins of the Bible
On the Old Testament in general:
Introduction to the Hebrew Bible
Who Wrote the Bible?
Ancient Mesopotamian Cosmologies:
Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography (Mesopotamian Civilizations, 8)
On Hell:
The Formation of Hell: Death and Retribution in the Ancient and Early Christian Worlds
On Satan:
The Birth of Satan: Tracing the Devil's Biblical Roots
On the New Testament:
Who Wrote the New Testament?: The Making of the Christian Myth
On the Gospels:
Who Wrote the Gospels?
The Christian Faith:
Not the Impossible Faith
Honest to Jesus: Jesus for a New Millennium
The Resurrection of Jesus:
The Empty Tomb: Jesus Beyond The Grave
Doubting Jesus' Resurrection: What Happened in the Black Box?
On Early Christianities:
Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew
Early History of Church Doctrine:
When Jesus Became God: The Struggle to Define Christianity during the Last Days of Rome
Jesus Wars: How Four Patriarchs, Three Queens, and Two Emperors Decided What Christians Would Believe for the Next 1,500 years
There are other books, many others. Just look at the many SBL publications, or Fortress Press, SCM Press, Cambridge Press, Anchor Press.
Readers of DC will probably make some other key suggestions.
What bothers me is that Vic is a specialist. He's a Christian philosopher, and as such he probably rarely steps out of his specialty. He's not a Biblical scholar so the likelihood he's read any of these books is very very slim. And I doubt he'll read them even though I just I pointed them out.

|Common Name:

|Year of Discovery:

|Tarantula World:
|New World
Natural Habitat:
|From rainforests and savannahs of Southern Brazil and Paraguay, these are tropical spiders that are opportunistic burrowers that become bolder with size/age.
|Please note that individuals can vary in temperament widely. This species is noted for being particularly flighty and defensive, readily flicking its particularly irritating urticating hairs. In my experience, I have found Nhandus in general to be highly skittish and panicky, scampering for cover if they can find it. I have also found that they DO calm down with some work, and my current big girl will tolerate handling (though not advised) easily. All that said, my experience with them is my girl is the calmest, most relaxed of my 4 Nhandu species.
|I have found these to slower than my other 3 Nhandu species. They are tiny slings at 3/8 at 2ndinstar. They also seem to be the smallest of the Nhandus. My female is only about 5.5 and is mature, eating little and molting maybe once a year. I read they can attain 6-6.5.
Experience Level:
|These are an intermediate level tarantula as there are defensive, feisty, skittish and fast. Less feisty than chromatus. They more readily look for a place to flee and hide than throw up threat poses. But they will readily kick hairs. Their hairs are particularly irritating as well.
|These tropical spiders do well with warmer temps. 75-86o F during the day, 68-75o F at night.
|70% humidity during most of the year. They have a dry season in their native lands of around 60%.
|As a larger terrestrial species, these do well with some space. 5-10-gallon tanks should be adequate, with 10-gallon better. A fall from even a short distance could be fatal, so keep the distance from the top of the enclosure to the substrate no more than 1.5 times the diagonal leg span of the spider (9inches).
|EcoEarth (coconut husk). You may make a mix of Vermiculite and Eco Earth (75/25). From my experience, Peat Moss does cultivate molds very easily, and thus would not be recommended for this species. Avoid any Evergreen woods (Cypress, Reptile Bark) inside of the enclosure as these contain natural insecticidal oils that can harm your tarantula if exposed long enough. Isopods (rolly-polies, or pillbugs) are agood cleaner to keep in the substrate that will help reduce the risk of mold. Molds can also be inhibited by allowing the substrate to dry out completely (just keep the water dish filled). But isopods require moist environments, so do not dry it out if you keep them in the tank.
|Crickets, meal worms, wax worms, superworms, Blaptica dubia or Blatta lateralis roaches. Please do not offer wild caught prey, as it may contain pesticides (and potential parasites) which can harm or kill your tarantula. Also never feed your tarantula kingworms (giant mealworms) as these are mealworms that have been fed juvenile growth hormones to prevent them from maturing so they grow bigger. JGH is a common insecticide and would not be good for your invertebrate tarantula! (I received this from a personal conversation with a cricket/worm breeder near me). Furthermore, online information often recommends feeding larger tarantulas an occasional baby mouse (i.e. pinky); this is not recommended here on the grounds that the extra calcium can be harmful to their exoskeletons.
Nhandu carapoensisis a voracious feeder and fun to watch eat. They seem to love to eat. Yet my experience (and that of others here) are that their appetites drop off once they mature. As adults, they may only take one cricket a week.
|Make sure to offer a water bowl, the size should be half the size of the species. Do not use any sponges, cotton balls or paper towel (as these are breeding grounds for bacteria) or water crystals inside of water bowl, just clean water. Small rocks may be added. Clean the water bowl once a week or when you feel it is necessary. Crickets or roaches may end up dead in the water, in which case you should clean it right away. Spiderlings are too small to have a water bowl, misting one side of the enclosure wall 1-2 times aweek, should be plenty enough. Your tarantula may often fill the dish with substrate, or even poop in it, but continue to provide clean water. Also I periodically wet the substrate, allowing that to dry out completely to prevent mold growth.
Maturity/Longevity Female:
Females may take 2-4 years to mature, and live for up to 15 years. Increasing temperature and feeding schedule can speed up these times.
Maturity/Longevity Male/ Tibial Apophysis:
|Yes, males may take 1.5-3 years to mature and live less than a year after maturing. Increasing temperature and feeding schedule can speed up these times.
Communal Setup:
|No. These are not communal at all. Do not attempt to house these together unless breeding a male and female, and then, keep a close eye on them as she can be particularly aggressive towards him initially.
Color Markings:
|A dark, brick-reddish black base with a dark, brownish red shag on legs and abdomen. This shag is wavy as well, giving an almost curly-hair appearance. The carapace is a brownish-black velvet with a cream border. These have a subtle beauty and are a must have in any collection.
Special Note:
|These beauties are flighty and skittish, panicking easily, but calm down with age. They are not readily found in the hobby. I do not know much about breeding them, but would assume that, like other Nhandus, the females are aggressive towards the males, often resulting in cannibalizing of the males, and that if breeding is successful, they will produce a clutch on the order of 1,000 spiderlings. This is extrapolated from other Nhandu species, but could differ. Perhaps they are less abundant in the hobby because they produce smaller sacs.
Make sure never to keep a Tarantula enclosure directly in the sun. No light is necessary for your Tarantulas habitat. Natural lighting is perfectly fine. Nhandus seem particularly panicky in direct sunlight, seeking shade as fast as they can find it.

CITES List
|These are not on the CITES II list (as far as I can see), but captive-bred specimens are available.

2 adults, 2 children die in Indianapolis fire
- 2 other children hospitalized in critical condition
- No cause for fire has been released
- Investigators did not find working smoke detector in home
INDIANAPOLIS -- A Saturday morning fire raged through a small home, killing a mother, a father and two of their children. The fate of two more critically injured children remained uncertain Saturday night.
The number of victims — and the fact that all were members of the same family — has even seasoned firefighters stunned at what they're calling the most devastating Indianapolis house fire in recent memory, and perhaps in the history of the Indianapolis Fire Department.
"I don't know that any of us can remember one that was any worse," said Capt. Rita Reith, who's been with the department for 20 years. "If you think about it, this could take out a whole family if these other kids don't make it. I mean, I don't even want to think about it. It's like, 'Oh my gosh. How could this be?' "
Killed in the fire were Lionel "Leo" Guerra, 47; Brandy Mae Guerra, 33; Esteban Guerra, 11; and Blanquita Guerra, 8. A 14-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy remained in critical condition at Riley Hospital for Children as of late Saturday.
The first 911 call came in around 9 a.m. after a motorist spotted the fire from Interstate 70. About 40 firefighters and medics arrived minutes later. They found the victims inside the burning home and brought them outside. They started CPR.
All four children were rushed to Riley Hospital for Children, with one in respiratory arrest. Two of them died there.
The parents were taken to Eskenazi Hospital, where they died.
While no cause of the fire has been released, Reith said it's not believed to have been intentionally set.
She also said investigators did not find a working smoke detector in the home.
The house appears to have been converted from a detached garage behind another home. It sits in the shadow of a freeway overpass and is across the street from railroad tracks. A blue toy car, just big enough for a small child to sit in, sat Saturday evening in a muddy yard that had been roped off with yellow tape by emergency personnel.
Reith said several grieving family members were at the home Saturday morning, and they also have been at the hospital with the two surviving children.
Reith also said many neighbors came by the home while firefighters were there. Some cried, she said. Others offered prayers.
In this neighborhood of modest bungalow-style homes near an industrial park, the Guerras' neighbors told The Star that the family is well-known and that several relatives live within walking distance.
Neighbor Mike Moreno said his family has known them for years. He described Leo Guerra as a car lover who used to build low-riders at a nearby body shop the family used to own.
Moreno said the Guerra kids often played with the other children in the neighborhood. The boys would toss footballs in a nearby paved lot as the girls played tag.
Moreno's 9-year-old daughter, Brianna, said she liked to play hide-and-go-seek with 8-year-old Blanquita.
Moreno, a husky man with a large goatee and a tattoo of a heart on his neck, appeared to struggle to find the words to describe something so terrible happening to a family whose house he can see out his back door.
"I got two kids myself, you know?" he said. "It's tragic enough with the adults. But with the kids? That makes it even worse."
Reith said even emergency responders were similarly shaken by the tragedy, which is why IFD has made a team available to help their peers cope.
"Everyone," she said, "is trying to process what has happened this morning."

233 now infected in growing meningitis outbreak
Updated 6:45 p.m. ET
A fungal meningitis outbreak linked to contaminated steroid injections made by a Massachusetts company has infected 233 Americans as of Oct. 16, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday.
Two of the cases may be joint infections from steroid shots given in peripheral joints such as the knee, hip, shoulder and elbow.
The outbreak has been linked primarily to methylprednisolone acetate steroid shots used for back pain made by a specialty pharmacy in Framingham, Mass. called the New England Compounding Center. Up to 14,000 patients may have been exposed to those contaminated injections that were sent to 76 facilities in 23 states. The Department of Justice confirmed Tuesday that they are investigating the allegations.
On Monday, health officials had announced 214 infections in 15 states tied to the contaminated injections. The number of deaths and states involved in the outbreak remained steady Tuesday at 15 each.
- Husband tests negative for meningitis that killed his wife
- Two more drugs from meningitis-linked firm probed
- Inside the New England Compounding Center
For weeks, government health officials have been urging doctors to contact patients who got the company's methylprednisolone acetate shot to advise them about the risks of fungal infection, and urge them to take any meningitis symptoms such as headache and fever seriously.
However on Monday, the Food and Drug Administration reported infections in two people who got different drugs made by the company. One case is possible meningitis in a patient who got a spine injection of another type of steroid, triamcinolone acetonide. The agency also learned of one heart transplant patient who got fungal infections after being given a third company product, cardioplegia, during surgery.
"At this point in FDA's investigation, the sterility of any injectable drugs, including ophthalmic drugs that are injectable or used in conjunction with eye surgery, and cardioplegic solutions produced by NECC are of significant concern...," the FDA said.
The New England Compounding Center has been accused of violating Massachusetts state lawthat requires compounding pharmacies to only mix medications if a prescription was attached to them. The company is being investigated for producing products in bulk which lead to contamination of the injections.
The CDC also said Tuesday that there is growing evidence that the predominant pathogen in this outbreak is Exserohilum rostratum, a fungus that traditionally has not been known to cause meningitis. The agency recommends doctors treat patients who may have been infected by with the antifungal drug voriconazole. At this time, the CDC does not recommend antifungal therapy for symptomatic patients who don't have meningitis confirmed through lab tests of their cerebrospinal fluid.

Many of them are professional gamblers but there is a mix of recreational players too.
We have user badges on the site in both profiles and below posts. Here are some examples:
Right now we have 5 badges. I'm attaching them to this contest. Each one denotes some sort of accomplishment or status. We'd like to redesign the existing badges as well as expand and add to the badge options. Here is what we'd like to have:
- Admin
- Moderator (or just "Mod")
- MPLB. Spot for a text number from 1 to 9.
- PocketFives Open. Spot for a text number from 1 to 9.
- Ranking, three badges. Spot for a text number.
a. Red badge with a spot for a number from 1 to 10
b. Black badge with a spot for a number from 11 to 100
c. Gray badge with a spot for a number from 101 to 999
- Total online poker winnings badge. These should have the number in the image, not text. Each one should be a little different.
- $100k, $500k, $1m, $2m, $3m, $4m, $5m, $10m
- WSOP bracelet winner. At the World Series of Poker, anyone who wins an event gets a gold bracelet. This one should have a spot for a text number as well.
Right now the badges are 45x30 with rounded corners. It is okay if they are a little bigger than that but it is very important that they are all the same size. I'm including the .ai of the new logo in case you need it.

Hello Stitchers!
I managed to get sick just as the weather decided to get warm, so I had to go two weeks without stitching or charting. It was not fun to say the least. Because of this I decided to post some random charts that haven't fit in with others. There are a mix of cross stitch square stitches and 5×6 knit stitches.
As always feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, magic cure-all potions, or pics of your creations.
