who up on failure in his purpose cut her throat from ear to ear the cut wns not so deep as expect ed and the lady recovered the perpetrator was promptly handed over to the law but the law power was so favorable to this specie9 of crime that he escaped under the sentence of a short confinement in the state penitentiary fearing that the crime would be further en couraged by the law power the citizens

priucipal griudstnoe quarries in tbe coun try are on tbe western reserve west of cleaveland soon after the passage of thc tariff act laying the present duty on grindstonee the writer met one of tl.e priucipal men interested iu these quarries and the following colloquy ensued : grindstone man — 1 have beeu in wash ington six months aud procured a tariff of s2 a ton on grindsloues i am a free trader in everything but grindstones but we cannot compete with nova scotia grindstones on the atlantic sea-board without a tariff writer — if tbe question is not a fair oue don't aiibwer it but how much did you pay ? a short time after meeting the same gentleman the writer put thc following question : when i last met you i asked you how much you paid for your tariff on grindstone you did not answer i will put another question : do congress men take money for their votes ?*' grindstone mau — they will all stick their hand out behind them illustrating the way they do it by thrusting bis own hand behind cupped to its utmost recep tive capacity this may not be plenary proof that this tariff act was procured by bribery but that intelligent legislators would pass an act compelling the industries of the at lantic states to pa a bonus of s2 a ton on grindstones to an insignificant number of quarry-men on the western reserve with no other motive thau the public weal is preposterous the above is literally true if you desire you can publish it though i should not wish my name counected with it still if called upon i can fuinishj names io prove that the act referred to was a most corrupt job rmekvi success in life perhaps tbe first and great requisite to perfect success in life is to be fully per suaded in your mind what is the object you wish to obtain many make their first false step by a wavering uncertain beginning not quite sure what their aim is they waste precious time and ac quire habits that will unfit them for any patient continuous or energetic labor success must depend in a great de gree upon tbo determination to concen trate one's self npon some one object the object of one's ambition then fully and unchangeably decided the plain path of hard working perseverance punctuality and honesty should be pur sued there is no royal road to success for though as david copperfield has told us some happy talent and some fortunate opportunity may form the two sides of the ladder on which we amount the rods of the ladder must be made of stuff to stand wear and tear for the first round there is perhaps no better substitute than perseverance — perseverance that will lead one to work to go over and over the same dull routine of what is often merely mechanical and uninteresting labor it is doubly needed at the commencement of business for here concentrate all the great obstacles that impede the way so that it often seems tbat tbe first third is the only really diffi cult portion of the road to success punctuality though seemingly ranking among the lesser virtues its absence will occasion as great evils as many a graver fault and it canuot be dispensed with in any of tbe departments of life the pro fessional man is ruined without it and in a business man its absence cannot be tolerated iione?ty is if from selfish motives only the best policy honesty that will lift a man not only above a dishonest act but a mean act or unworthy motive ; honesty ihat will extend into all his dealings that will allow no shuilling or shrinking of duty no appearance of wealth not actually possessed no extravagance of living for himself or family that may not strictly and knowingly be allowed with out detriment to himself or his business or without injury to others agricultural from tlie southern planter and farmer 1 corn-shucking why i-i it that farmers will contin ue to pay the negro ten cents per barrel to shuck their corn when there is little or no expense attending that operation ? let the corn be slip-shucked as it is gathered and thrown into the crib this can be done with safety three weeks earlier than when it is shucked the rats do not injure it anything like so much and there is not that vile scent upon it caused hy them it is the best plan upon earth to keep weavil from it and in fact there are many reasons why it should be housed when you wish to prepare the crop for market or the mill pass it through the corn shelter and through your wheat fan with * c chaffer only in it and there you have your corn shelled shucked and cured and your shucks hackled and ready for your stock than whicli nothing is better for them always provided you have them slightly impregnated with water into wliich you have cast a modicum of salt what pleasure to see them eat it all the time remem bering that you have in your pocket 10 save upon every 100 barrels of corn you may have made which would have gone into thc pocket of some low vender of lightning who have gone into the pocket of every negro to whom the farmer pays money comparative

3 miles from concord who cm beat thia report of 20 y«ar struggling omtori stim tobacco culture in north carolina tbe new york daily bulletin of the 15th ult remarks that the successful rais ing of fine quality of tobacco in the west ern portion of north carolina is the latest agricultural achievement in the state such an attainment was until within a few years past little thought of and indeed would have been ridiculed if mentioned ten years ago but with the constant developments of the capabilities of the soil in this as well as other southern states impossibilities of the past are being proved possibilities of the present the fact that thousands of fan cy wrappers are now produced in north carolina where ten years ago the crop was scarcely known is certainly demon strative of these facts a new method of curing is introduced wliich will add ma terially to the success of the tobacco interest in north carolina this is in curing the leaf off the stalk the advan tage obtained this wise is bhown in the following yield of 230 pounds of greeu tobacco one half of which was cured on and the other half off the stalk : that cured off the stalk 12 pounds 15 ounces stalks weighed g pounds 1 ounces ; to tal 19 pounds 5 ounces cured on stalk 11 pouuds 11 ounces ; stalk on this top 8 pounds ; total 19 pouuds 11 ounces it will be observed that the grand total is just the same except six ounces and in this lot cured off the stalk 15 ounces or something like 8 per cent on the leaf is gaiued while the other gains one pound bat that gain is in worthless stalk mortgage on crops from the n y journal of commerce tbe-following questions will interest many persons especially throughout tbe south where thi topic has been much discussed : coxcoiid n c dec 24 1875 editor ofthe journal of commerce — an answer in your replies and decis ions will be fully appreciated a farmer plants his crop then gives a mortgage to a merchant on his growing crop of cotton c.f for supplies furnished the mort gage claims the matured cotton as his by reason of mortgage on growing crop — can the merchant take said cotton from an innocent purchaser i will you give case and decision in united stales su preme court from louisiana or missis sippi concerning mortgage on growiug crops ] was it not decided it did not bind the matured crop it will be much to our advantage to have your valued opinion published yours truly p & c j reply — tbe case stated appears to be completely covered by the decisiou of the united states supreme court in the case ol butt vs eliett 19 wall 324 being an appeal f.om the u s district court for the district of louisiana one sillers sold bis plantation to graham and graham executed in returu a mortgage dated 1867 on the crops to be grown that year eliett succeeded to the rights of sillers as judgmeut creditor but graham notwithstanding the mortgage sold the crops to butt & co to repay advance — eilett accordingly filed against butt & co and the disti ict court gave him a decree for ttie value of the crops the supreme court affirmed tbe decree mr justice swayue delivering the opinion and saying the mortgage clause * * * could not operate as a mortgage be cause the crops to which it relates were not then in existence when the crops grew the lien attached and bound them affeclually from that time hill's answer to blaine a stinging rebuke for de vi ving the wail feeling jef davis not the monster the ex speak er painted him — how the federals were responsible for the horrors of ander sonville — an eloquent plea for the union washington jan 11 the house then proceeded to consider the amnesty bill hill spoke two hours in most effective style and was frequently applauded by the house and galleries in opening he disclaimed all desire on the part of himself and his associates from the south to re open ill feeling between tbe sections the country had already suffered enough from feuds he aud his associates had come here with the patriotic idea to remember nothing but the country and the whole couutry aud turning their backs upon all tbe horrors of the past to look witb all earnestness to find glories for the future the gentleman blaine who was the ac knowledged leader ofthe republican par ty in the house and was tbe aspiring leader of tbe republican party of the country bad however willed otherwise and seemed determiued that the wounds whicli are healing should be reopened and that the pas.-ions which were hushed should be reinflamed he hill wished the house to understand ihat be and his associates did not reciporate either the purpose or the manifest desire of the gen tleman aud while they felt it their im parative duty to vindicate the truth of history as regards their section they did not intend to say anything calculated to aid the gentleman in that work of crimi nation and recrimination and of keeping up the war by politicians after brave men bave said that the war shall end the gentleman from maine had made two points in his speech the magnanimity and grace of the republican party and the brutality of tho«e whom he pleased to term rebel ae to the 6r«t question he did not propose to weary the honse to-s day because with the history of the last fifteen years yet fresh in the mind of the woild it was useless to speak of the grace and magnanimity ofthe republican party with the master enslaved with intelli gence disfranchised with soc-ety disor dered with states subverted with lesris latures dispersed people could not afford to talk of grace and magnanimity if that were grace aud magnanimity be prayed god to save the country in future from such virtues the gentleman from maine had made the grave indictment against mr davis that he was guilty of tbe murders and crimes at andersonville and the gentle man stood before the conntry with his very fame in peril if after making snch a charge he failed to prove it he hill would take up the gentleman's proposi tions in their order he hoped that no one would imagine that he was here to pass any eulogy on jefferson davis the records on which his fame must rest had been made up and his companions and friends had remitted that record to the only tribunal that would give an impar tial judgement — honest prosperity in the meantime no eulogy of thisjcould help it no censure from the gentleman blaine could damage it and no act or resolution of the house could affect it the charge against mr davis was that he was a deliberate wilful scheming murderer of thousands of his fellow-citi zens knowing the high character and reputation of the gentleman from maine be hill had supposed when he heard the charge fall from his lips that bo had citrtaiuly made a recent discovery and he listened for the evidence but what was it nothing but the partial report ofa con gressional committee the testimony read was exclusively ex parte testimony taken while tiie gentleman now on trial before the country was in prison without a hearing aud without the opportunity of a hearing if there was any principle held sacred in the anglo'saxon mind it was that an englishman was not con demned until he should be confronted with his witnesses but the testimony was not only ex parte but was mutilated palpably mutilated most adiiotly mutila ted extracts even the day pf his exe cution wirz had been offered a commuta tion ofhis sentence if he would implicate jefferson davis but wire's answer to his counsel was scbade you know that i have always told you that i do not know anything about jefferson davis ho bad no connection with me as to what was done at andersonville i would not become a traitor against him or ajybody else even to save my life but said hill what poor wirz within two hours of his execution would not say for his life the gentleman from maine says to the country for tbe sake of keeping his party iu power sensation sir chiistianity is a falsehood human ity i3 a lie civilization is a cheat or the man who would not make a false charge for his life was never guilty of wilful mur der hill went on to argue that on the logic of blaines speech holding davis respon ble for tbe acts of winder president grant might be held responsible for the acts of mcdonald and joyce and he ask ed whether blaine meant to establish a rule ol construction that would authorize the country to arraign president grant for complicity in the whiskey frauds was president grant responsible he asked for credit mobieler for the sauborn contract or for the frauds of tbe district of colum bia and yet grant had absolutely sent to the senate of ihe united states for confirmation for a high office tbe name of a man alluding to alexander r shep herd ot washington who stood charged before the country with the grossest pec ulations and frauds on this district after tbe charges had been made and while they were pending he hill j was nei i ther the author nor disciple of such'politi cal logic but if the gentleman blaine's ' proportion with regard to davis were j true theu by the same logic general i grant instead of being entitled to a third term was enliiled to 20 terms in 20 peni tentiaries laughter extract — whatever horrors had ex isted at andersonville not ono of them could be attributed to an order of tbe confederate government and every one of them grew out of the necessity of the occasion which necessity had fastened on the confederates by the conduct of the other tf ide | he challenged blaine to meet him face to face and fact to fact in the di.-cussion of the question declaring tbat the time was of lhe past when the country could accepc the impudence of assertion for ' the force of argument or the recklessness of statement for the truth of history mr hii had some articles regarding the prison at elmira piatt of xew york asked him who was the author of the lei ter hill replied that he did not know piatt declared as living within thirty six miles of elmiia that the statements were unqualifiedly false hill after reading from surgeon-gen eral barnes tbat 12 per cent of confede rate prisoners in federal hands died and less than 9 per cent of federal prisoners in confederate hands said my friend addressing blaine with great emphasis who is the murderer ? i would believe surgeon general barnes in preference to any politician over the gentleman piatt he sayd he lives 36 miles away from el mira perhaps he could have smelled thc small-pox that far he certainly could not have seen it and 1 venture to say that if the small pox was at that prison camp one could have g t nearer than 36 miles he is a wonderful witness laughter but the great question is at last who wjs responsible for ihat state of things and that is really the . only important ques tion hill went on to discuss the history of — - , tssest ' the exchange of prisoners dwelliug on the fact that the cartel which was established in 1862 ivas interrupted in 1s63 and that the federal authorities actually refused to continue the exchange at this point hill's hour expired but by unanimous consent he was allowed to proceed without any limitation as to time blaine asked him whether he had not been a member of the confederate sen ate hill replied that he had been blaine then proceeded to quote a reso lution offered in the confederate congress by senator hill of georgia to thefollow effect : that every person pretending to be a soldier of the united states who shall be captured ou the soil of the confederate states after the 1st of july 1863 shall be presumed to have entered the territo ry of the confederate states witb intent to excite insurrection and to abet murder and that unless satisfactory proof be ads duced to the contrary before the military court before which his trial shall be had he shall suffer death he asked hill whether he was the au thor of that resolution hill — i will say to the gentleman from maine very frankly that i have not the slightest recollection of hearing it be fore blaine you do not deny it ? hill — i do not know — my own opinion is that i never was the author of that resolution but i have no recollection of it if the gentleman cai give me the circumstances under which it was intro duced i may recollect blaine on the 1st of october 1s62 the judiciary committee ofthe confeder ate congress made a report and offered a series of resolutions and thereupon sen ator hill of georgia is recorded as having offered the resolution which i have iust read hill — i was chairman of the judiciary committee in the senate and very likely like tbe chairman of the committee ou rules at the last session i may have con sented to that report laughter at the expense of blaine.j blaine — does the gentleman admit that he made that report ? hill — i do not know but it is very likely derisive laughter on the re publican side blaine — the copy which i have quo ted from is entitled republicanism in america i wish io kuow whether the gentleman was the amhor of that resolu tion hill — i really do not recollect re newed laughter on the republican side blaine persistently — thc gentleman does not say tbat he was not the author of it hill — i do not but i do not think i was the author of it blaine — i thought that as the gentle man's effort was to s^ow the humane character of the confederate congress this might aid him in remembering the fact hill with all due deference to the gentleman he did not think any such thing laughter he thought he would divert me from the purpose of my argument blaine apologetically — oh no : the gentleman ran have all the time he wants hill — what measures the confederate government might have thought proper to take at that time to protect the women and children of tbe confederacy from insurrection i do uot recollect ; but i shall not be diverted by the gentleman from maine from the course of ray argu ment to go into the history of slavery or of the insurrection or john brown's raid i know this : that whether i or any other gentleman or the committee was the author of the resolution and which i thiuk more than probable our purpose was not to do injustice to any man woman or child north cr south but to adopt what we deemed stringent measures to protect our wives aud chil dren from servile insurrection and slaugh ter while our brave sons were ou tho field loud applause on the democratic side j hill passed iu review the effort b of the confederate government to get rid of their prisoners and concluded this branch of his subject hy saying : summing up mr hill then proceeded to fum up his argu ment and said : ' what have we proved ? i have proved that the federal authorities broke the cartel deliberately i have proved that they refused to reopen that cartel when ap proached by mr stephens as a commission solely on the ground of humanity i have proved ihat they made medicine contraband of war and thereby left uh to the dread necessity of supplying prisoners wilh such medicines as could be improvised in tbe confederacy i have proved that they refused to allow the sur geon of tiieir own army to accompany their prisoners to the south i have proved ihat tiie confederate authorities proposed to return vour sick and wounded without an equivalent in august 1864 and that yon never deigned to apply until december 1sg4 i iiave proved tliai your high otfieers in command gave as a reason why they would not exchange prisoners tbat il would be humane to the prisoners but cruelty to the soldiers in the field it was a part of your military policy to let your prisoners suffer raiher than that the confederacy tdiould have an increase of the military force i have also proved tbat wilh all the horrors which you iiave made such a noise about as occurring at andersonville greater horrors occurred in the prisons where you held your troops and that the percentage of d ath was three per cent greater among our prisoners iu your hands than amon your prisoners in our hand when the gen tleman from maine rises again to give birth to that unmitigated effusion of genius without a fact to sustain it in which he says and her before my iod measuring my words known their full intent and importaut i declare thn neither the deeds of the duke of alva in th low countries uor the massacre of st bartho lomew and the thumb 3crews and engines of torture of the spanish inquisition began to com pare in atrocity

Judging the Del Monte "Crown the Cook" Contest
Last Friday, I spent the day in the beautiful test kitchen at Del Monte headquarters in San Francisco, tasting and scoring, over and over again, to help choose the first ever "Crown the Cook" winner.
I'll be the first to sheepishly admit, too, that I had forgotten that the canned fruit and veggie manufacturer was based in this fair city I grew up in. Del Monte actually started in Monterey, which of course makes so much sense given that city's rich cannery history.
As its business skyrocketed, it moved its headquarters to San Francisco and branched into Walnut Creek for its R&D facilities. It also has operations in Southern California, where its pet food manufacturing, which accounts for about half of its sales, is based.
More than 600 folks from around the country entered the "Crown the Cook" Facebook cook-off contest in the categories of sides, mains and desserts. One finalist was chosen from each of those categories to come to San Francisco to cook their dish before a judging panel that consisted of Mario DiFalco, Del Monte's director of marketing; Loren Cruz, Del Monte's director of product R&D; Alice Harding, Del Monte's head chef; and yours truly, the only "outsider," if you will.
Each recipe had to use at least one Del Monte product. And each contestant had 90 minutes to complete their dish, which was not as easy as it sounded. Just you try cooking while a video crew is filming all around you, a host is peppering you with questions, and Del Monte employees from all parts of the building are watching your every move and snapping photos.
But the three contestants, all seasoned cooks and past participants in many other cooking contests, were more than up to the challenge.
Loanne Chiu of Carmel was up first with her "Thai Nutty Corn and Kale Salad," made with Del Monte canned corn and a vibrant Asian-style vinaigrette. Chiu, who admitted she came to cooking late in life, now "reads cookbooks as my bedtime story" each night.
Naylet Larochelle of Florida, a finalist in this year's Pillsbury Bake-Off, cooked up "Glazed Peach-Chipotle Chicken and Lima-Bean Salsa." Yes, Del Monte canned lima beans, of all things, in a salsa of chopped red and green bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Del Monte canned peach halves got grilled for a smoky-sweet accompaniment.
Finally, Carmell Childs of Utah created "Mandarin Tin-Can Tower Cake." She used boxed cake mix to create a batter that was enriched with a can of Del Monte mandarin oranges (fruit, juice and all). The batter was poured into a jellyroll pan to bake. Then, cleverly using the actual empty can of Del Monte pineapple (with the top and bottom removed) as a cutter, she cut out circles of the baked cake, which were frosted with whipped topping mixed with the crushed pineapple, as well as instant coconut cream pudding mix. Three frosted circles were stacked on top of one another to form one adorable little cake, which was frosted again on top and all around the sides, before being showered with a mixture of toasted coconut and toasted chopped almonds.
We judges deliberated at length, but in the end, we had to give the grand prize to Childs for a cake that was not only beautiful and luscious, but ingenious, too.
Childs took home $3,000 worth of new cookware, and the notoriety of being the first "Crown the Cook" champ.
Find the three finalists' recipes on the Del Monte "Crown the Cook" Facebook page.

Stanley Kubrick
Robert Anton Wilson
The Shining
Rob Ager
Alan McGee
Eyes Wide Shut
Gavin Bain
Joanna Pickering
Irvine Welsh
Dean Cavanagh is that very rare breed – a maverick whose talents have been successfully proven over several different disciplines.
He is an award-winning artist; a screenwriter and playwright, writing the highly acclaimed Wedding Belles with Irvine Welsh and the forth-coming movie version of the hit on-line series Svengali. He has also been a journalist, with bylines in i-D, NME, Sabotage Times and the Guardian. Dean is also a documentary-maker, a film and TV producer and a musician, with along list of collaborators, including Robert Anton Wilson.
Now the multi-talented Cavanagh has written and directed (with his son Josh), his first movie - the much anticipated Kubricks.
In this exclusive interview with Dangerous Minds, Dean talks about the ideas and creative processes behind Kubricks. How he collaborated with Alan McGee, and developed the film with his son Josh, discussing his thoughts on cinema and synchronicity, and explaining howKubricks came to be filmed over 5 days, with a talented cast this summer.
Dean Cavanagh: 'Stanley Kubrick has always fascinated me in that he was clearly trying to convey messages through symbols, codes and puzzles in his films.
'For me his genius was in the way he presented the 'regular' audience with a clear narrative structure and for those who wanted to look deeper he constructed hidden layers of subjectivity. He was clearly a magician working with big budgets in such an idiosyncratic way that it's hard not to be intrigued by him and his oeuvre.
'I've been following Kubrick researchers like Rob Ager and Jay Weidner for the last few years and I really wanted to dramatize a story based around Kubrick as an inspirational enigma. There is a wealth of material about the esoteric side of Kubrick on the net and Ager and Weidner are great places to start the journey from.'
DM: How did you progress towards making 'Kubricks'?
Dean Cavanagh: 'I've been writing screenplays and theatre on my own and also with Irvine Welsh since the 1990's. Up until last year, I never really had any desire to direct a film but Alan McGee encouraged me to have a go. He offered to produce a film if I would write and direct with the emphasis being on us having total control. This was music to my ears after having mainly dealt with people who are always looking for reasons not to make a film. Alan's credo was "just do it and let's see what happens". There's a great freedom in working with him.'

'Boardwalk Empire' Season 4 Spoilers: Check out the Full September Synopsis!
Earlier today, 'Boardwalk Empire' fans were treated to our best look inside season 4 to date via a brand-new trailer, teasing the action and new characters populating at least four different locations. Good things come in fours, it seems as HBO has gone even further to reveal episode synopsis of the first four weeks, as well as an overview of the new season premiering on Sunday, September 8!
Keep in mind that HBO's descriptions of the first four episodes come at a spoilery price, one which may remove a bit of the mystery over the new threat to Nucky's empire. Proceed with caution, and gaze into the most spoiler-filled look at 'Boardwalk Empire' season 4 yet:
Atlantic City, February 1924: After barely surviving an overthrow by gangster Gyp Rossetti, Nucky Thompson is laying low at the end of the Boardwalk. But the calm will be short-lived, as Nucky faces new challenges, including a clash with the mayor, a battle with his brother Eli over Eli's college-age son, and the irresistible lure of lucrative – and perilous – opportunities in Florida.
Episode #37: "New York Sour"
Following his battle with Gyp Rosetti, Nucky makes a peace offering to Joe Masseria (Ivo Nandi) while working the odds with Arnold Rothstein. While Chalky is busy running the Onyx Club on the Boardwalk, the impulsive Dunn Purnsley (Erik LaRay Harvey) clashes with a booking agent. Fresh-faced Federal Agent Warren Knox arrives in Atlantic City to learn the ropes from Agent Sawicki (Joseph Aniska). Gillian seeks custody of her grandson, Tommy (Brady Noon), while trying to find a "good" man to keep the Artemis Club afloat. Eli's college-age son, Willie (Ben Rosenfield), turns to Nucky for career advice. Al Capone enlists his brothers, Frank and Ralph, to help him expand his business in the Chicago suburb of Cicero. Richard Harrow returns to his violent ways.
Episode #38: "Resignation"
Now working as a "delivery man" for Dean O'Banion (Arron Shiver), Van Alden is ordered to keep tabs on Al Capone, joining the ascendant mobster to help keep Cicero voters "informed" at a political rally. Dr. Valentin Narcisse arrives in Atlantic City, clashing with Chalky and Nucky over the loss of an employee. In Washington, Agent Knox aligns himself with J. Edgar Hoover (Eric Ladin), acting director of the Bureau of Investigation. Harrow fails to finish a job in Milwaukee, while Eddie demands a promotion after 11 years of service. With a business opportunity on the horizon, Nucky departs for Florida.
Episode #39: "Acres of Diamonds"
Nucky has reservations about investing in a Tampa land deal engineered by transplanted bootlegger Bill McCoy (Pearce Bunting). While there, he meets speakeasy owner Sally Wheet. Valentin Narcisse books a sexy jazz singer, Daughter Maitland (Margot Bingham), to perform at the Onyx, and gauges Dunn Purnsley's allegiance to Chalky. Willie, Eli's son, turns to Mickey Doyle and his bootleg warehouse to elevate his social standing at college. Gillian agrees to pose as Roy Phillips' wife to impress a possible partner. Harrow tries to bury his past, though not before taking care of some unfinished business with Emma (Katherine Waterston).
Episode #40: "All In"
Nucky gets to know Arnold Rothstein over a card game, and sizes up an unexpected partner for his Tampa land deal. A newly promoted Eddie Kessler gets detoured after making a train-station delivery. When one of their collectors is incapacitated, Al and Frank Capone decide to finish his route, enlisting a reluctant Van Alden to tag along. Agent Knox fills Hoover in on the Thompson operation, vowing to exploit Nucky's weakest link. Chalky is intrigued by Daughter Maitland's presence. Dunn Purnsley goes to Harlem, and is courted by Valentin Narcisse. Willie and his college roommate, Clayton (Owen Campbell), carry a practical joke too far.
The new season has added Patricia Arquette as Tampa speakeasy owner Sally Wheet, 'The Killing' star Eric Ladin as a young J. Edgar Hoover, 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' star Jeffrey Wright as educated Harlem leader Dr. Valentin Narcisse, 'True Blood' star Brian Geraghty as Federal Agent Warren Knox, Ron Livingston as Roy Phillips, a business and romantic prospect of Gillian's, and HBO vet Domenick Lombardozzi as Chicago mobster Ralph Capone, elder brother to Al Capone (Stephen Graham).
Not spoiled enough? Check out the season 4 trailer for 'Boardwalk Empire' once more, and tell us if you'll be be ready for HBO to pour out the September 8 premiere!

DC‐GMVC80805CX | Gas Furnace
When you choose a Goodman's Direct Comfort high efficiency gas furnace system you're not the only one who benefits. High efficiency means you'll lower your operating cost – great for you! And you'll reduce your environmental footprint – great for the global community. Then, of course, anyone who spends time in your house will enjoy balanced room comfort and better indoor air quality. Invest in Goodman and share the comfort.
This 80% high efficiency 80,000 BTU 2‐stage condensing furnace by Goodman Direct Comfort, model DC‐GMVC80805CX has been carefully engineered to work to its fullest capacity. When it comes to your personal comfort, no detail has been overlooked. The furnace's variable speed ECM blower gently ramps up or down according to heating demands keeping sound at a minimum and energy costs low. The multiple continuous fan speed options quietly circulate the air keeping the temperature balanced and steady.
Unlike a standard furnace, which vents left‐over heat out of your home in the form of exhaust, the Goodman's Direct Comfort high‐efficient furnace passes the exhaust through a secondary stainless steel heat exchanger to extract additional heat. That extra heat – up to 30% more – which would have otherwise been wasted is circulated through your home by a near‐silent two‐speed induced draft blower. The end result is 80 cents out of every dollar you spend on heating is used to keep your home warm.
The two‐stage gas valve works in unison with the variable speed motor to save energy and maintain an even indoor temperature by adjusting its airflow according to the heating demands of your home. Also enjoy advanced diagnostics, automatic maintenance alerts and continuous monitoring of the system's performance. Ideal for installation in a closet, alcove, utility room, basement or attic.
Additional Features
- Two‐stage gas valve operates on two stage or single‐stage thermostats

Comic 417: The Man Who Fell Sideways
There was a dude. He was fucked up for some reason. He fell down all the time. One day he fell into a girl and they fell in love in several seconds. Later, she found out that Sir Falls-a-Lot had impregnated her. She found this out when her baby fell away from her, because having fucked up gravity is not only genetic, it's a dominant trait, apparently. The baby falls into the sunset, screaming, and as the end titles come on screen, we wonder - are those final screams the baby as she falls to a life of torture and pain, or from the mother, on losing her child so soon after birth?
Moral of the story: Randall Munroe thinks it only takes like 2 seconds to impregnate someone.
Update: It just occurred to me that Randall missed a great opportunity for a way better pun than "falling for him." In the 21st panel, when the girl says "He knocked me over and tumbled into the distance" what she should have said was "He knocked me over....and up." HA HA HA!

Reading this post a few months after I wrote it, I can't believe no one else commented on it. I think this is one of the best posts I've ever done.ReplyDelete
maybe it's just late at night so I'm thinking weird.

I can't hate, I loved the colours in this one. And I have this nagging feeling that the style of his writing is a reference to something.ReplyDelete
OK, I'll grant you that the colors in row 4 (and a bit in row 3) are nice, and the sunset in the last panel too (though of course, it's covered by screaming).ReplyDelete
But no one reads xkcd for nice colors, we have, I don't know, Microsoft Paint to help us with that. Or google image search.
If it is in fact a reference to something and you find out, do tell me, I may have to reevaluate it in that case. As it stands though, I still find this one of the weirdest and worst comics of the past few months. Just...such a strange and disturbing story.
This is apparently referencing "The Time Traveller's Wife," a book I've wanted to read for a long time. But it's basically the same thing, except that it's a dude plagued with random time-travelling skills. And then he has a kid, and she likes time travelling whereas he hated it (and the kid here goes "wheeeee").ReplyDelete
All this I got from reading the LJ feed when it came out; I've found that it's really helpful when I'm confused as hell.
Sorry for commenting on an old old post. I just thought I'd try to help out.
It's cool to comment on any post. All the comments get e-mailed to me so I can find them and go back and write responses, as I am doing now.ReplyDelete
I guess it makes sense as a parody of that book. Now I need to find someone who read it and talk to them. From your description though it sounds like he just took the story and changed "time traveling" to "falling" but not much else...it doesn't really do anything as a parody, you know? But maybe if I'd read the book.

You say:ReplyDelete
"Moral of the story: Randall Munroe thinks it only takes like 2 seconds to impregnate someone."
That was an obvious joke. Unless you were joking, I have yet to understand how you can claim to have anything resembling a sense of humor when you take such jokes so literally.
It seems to me like you're expecting a comic about a person who for no clear reason falls sideways to make some physical sense.
I too was making a joke (perhaps not a good one). Obviously that's not the point of the story; it's just meant to be what was, for me, the lasting memory of this strip: that that girl was impregnated in two seconds from a falling guy.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 11, 2009 at 12:52 AM
i used to think "wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee" isn't a scream of either "torture and pain" OR losing a child, but, hey, i guess that's what happens when you don't learn a language properly...ReplyDelete

Everton have described a joint £28m bid from Manchester United for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines as "derisory and insulting".
United manager David Moyes is very familiar with England left-back Baines and Belgium midfielder Fellaini from his time at the helm of the Goodison Park side.
And it has long been speculated that he might be keen to take one or both of the duo with him to Old Trafford.
However, Everton are determined to retain two of their most important players and released a club statement which read: "Everton can confirm that it has received bids from Manchester United for two players.
Those bids were immediately rejected out of hand as derisory and insulting.
"Those bids were immediately rejected out of hand as derisory and insulting.
"The club did not make public these details as it was vital Roberto Martinez's preparations for the opening game of the Premier League season were not disrupted in any way."
Baines and Fellaini were both in the Everton line-up on Saturday as the Merseyside club began Premier League life under new boss Roberto Martinez with a 2-2 draw at Norwich.
Fellaini was signed by Moyes for Everton in 2008 for £15m, which rose to £17.5m with add-ons.
But it could be argued United are only offering around £16m for the player, considering they have previously had a £12m bid for Baines rejected.
According to reports, Fellaini's contract included a £23.5m release clause, but that expired at the end of July.
Not concerned
Martinez revealed last week: "Marouane had a buy-out clause where it was very straightforward. If someone met that valuation, the club had no say.
"That finished on July 31 so you can imagine during that period everyone was a bit expectant about what would happen. Once that date went, you just focus on working for the next season.
"I'm not concerned at all at the moment (about players leaving).
"The window is open and until it closes you're going to get speculation, you're going to get a lot of talk, not just at Everton. It's the norm."
And the Everton boss also confirmed earlier this month that they had received an offer for Baines, but insisted it fell well below their valuation.
"They put something over and the valuation wasn't anywhere near the quality of Leighton Baines.He told the Liverpool Echo: "Before we went to Austria one club officially contacted ourselves with an offer, and it was a final offer.
"That was the end of it but since then, there's been all the speculation, which has been part of what the transfer window is.
"There's never been another club or anyone else putting in an offer for Leighton. Since then, we've moved on and we're continuing to focus on the start of the season."

Looks like SOS Andrade is out.
Andrade's resignation comes after controversy over an effort overseen by her office to remove dead voters from the polls ahead of the presidential election, in which many voters who were still very much alive got letters targeting them as potentially deceased.
Texans for Public Justice called her the lead voter suppressor after this mega-failure.
Of course, there is also the problem with failing to secure voters who registered through the Department of Public Safety Drivers License offices. Apparently, there's a bunch, and some of those were forced to vote with provisional ballots a couple of weeks ago.
By January 15, we'll know what the final balance is on her "office holder" campaign account.

YoonOk had her near-death from the brain aneurysm rupture. After more than one month of hospitalization in the ICU, she came home with many setbacks.
When she felt she had NO hope and NO life, her backyard welcomed her to start new life~~~a new chapter. By working in the soil, planting seeds, and connecting to mother earth, she asked herself, "Who am I?".
With her feet and her two hands, like roots, connecting with the warmth of the mother soil, she dug up the soil to plant the seeds of love and healing.
In the same way she dug up in her garden, she dug up the story of her mother and her grandmother while the history of her birth land, Korea, lingers in the background.
Dig up untold stories through her grandma's eyes~~~through the mother soil.
She now realizes that her family story is a part of history--not separate from it.
This was how she started writing her stories through the dark emotions and despair. This is to understand the art of healing and our roots.
Through the rootedness from the plants, she now feels the soil. Her stories are from her heart and her soul through the mother earth~~~the soil.

Elaine Popkin took off her shoes and poured herself a cup of hot coffee -- milky brown from all the cream -- after claiming a cot at Glendale's winter shelter earlier this week.
"Let's put it this way -- it's home. For me, this is home," said the 61-year-old dressed in a purple, fuzzy sweater pulled over her greasy hair.
Popkin has spent winter after winter at the National Guard Armory on Colorado Boulevard and has seen the shelter change over the years. It once had 150 beds, but there were times when 200 people would seek refuge, some sleeping on the floor. Then last year, Glendale and Burbank pulled out of Los Angeles County's regional winter shelter system and set up a 50-bed program for locals only.
Out of money this year, the cities could no longer go their own way, and so on Dec. 1, the armory returned to a first come, first serve shelter operation, but with just 80 beds.
Despite the rain, the shelter saw less than 50 people on opening weekend, but officials expected attendance to jump this weekend. Although it was open to anyone, most of the inhabitants hailed from Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena, said Ron Cercedes, who works for Ascencia, Glendale's largest homeless services provider, which took over running the shelter for the first time.
Still, some homeless clients got there early, worried they wouldn't get a bed because of the fewer number of beds compared to years past. One of them was Mylan Trivanovich, who showed up at 5 p.m. on Monday, an hour before opening to stand in line with a handful of others. When the shelter did open, about 30 people were already in line, some arriving later due to work or school.
"I was sort of worried if I didn't get in early, I wouldn't get in," 65-year-old Trivanovich said.
If he didn't make the cut, he'd have to find a place outdoors. When it rains, or he can't find a safe place, he said he rides county buses all night long.
The hardest part of being homeless is finding a place to sleep, said William Coleman, who's lived outdoors in Glendale and Burbank for the last 16 years.
Coleman, 55, was able to climb out of homelessness in the 1970s, but he's stuck on the streets now because he's unemployed and sick with shingles.
Coleman is what service providers call chronically homeless, someone with a disabling condition that has lived without a home for more than a year. Many of the people at the shelter Monday night were also long-timers and Coleman knew them well. They tend to travel in a group, going to the same churches for a free lunch.
But then there are people like Brooke Clemens and her fiancée — two 18-year-olds with nowhere to go. Her fiancée, who sat in a wheelchair as he ate dinner donated by volunteers, didn't want to give his name because their path to homelessness started with drugs.
The couple, originally from Nebraska, traveled around the country before settling in El Monte. There they lived for about five months — sometimes with a drug dealer — while using meth, weed, ecstasy and other drugs. Tired of ruining their minds and their bodies, the two gave up meth and got out of El Monte.
They migrated to Hollywood about two weeks ago in search of a better life. Now they're sleeping at the Glendale shelter.
But they don't plan on being homeless for long. Clemens hopes to get a job at a restaurant, she said, and the couple is giving themselves a month and a half to get a permanent place to live.
"It was rough, it got good, now it's really hard," she said.

Sentimental Sunday - Happy Dad's Day

{{{hugs}}} for those who survived a flawed father from one who also did. We survived, sad perhaps but stronger for it.ReplyDelete
Beautiful post Laura. In my opinion, you tackled a tough subject with both grace and compassion. A tough thing to do. Have a great day. Terri FraserReplyDelete
Great job, Laura. It's a tough subject and you handled it well. It can be painful when we figure out our parents aren't perfect. It's even more painful when we realize what behaviors we've learned from them. Then it's even more painful when one realizes her kids realize she's not perfect and that she's passed her imperfections on to her children. *big sigh* Tough gig.ReplyDelete
As I read this, all I could think of is how grateful I am that my two grandsons hit the father jackpot with their Dad. It's a hard thing to do well, and he does it. Thinking of you on Father's Day.ReplyDelete
Laura, I'm a newbie at your site and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here today!ReplyDelete
Your Sentimental Sunday post about your relationship with your dad was touching.
You said, "Thank you, Dad, for teaching me how to love and forgive."
Those are some very important virtues lacking in our world today. And from what I've read from you and about you today, those virtues from him have molded you into the compassionate and caring person that you are. So your dad gets my YDG (You Did Good) Award for sure!
My father was an awesome man, but I have to be honest with you and say that what I learned about . . . finishing projects before starting new ones, maintaining an asset once you have it, and managing finances so you pay for what you need before you buy what you want . . . did not come from my him despite the fact that he was a frugal person and an excellent rainy day saver. No, I learned those things by trial and error on my own; which has been a good thing for a variety of reasons. But what I've also observed about my father's generation is that they didn't have the foresight to directly teach those survival skills to their children as my generation feels more compelled to do today.
Thank you for sharing your father and your feelings about him with us this day!
It's difficult to look objectively at those people from whom we expect--and need--so much. Just like you, Laura, we are all still learning. Even the Fathers. :)ReplyDelete
What a moving and thoughtful blog! It seems that you have been dealing all your life with the personality and character of your father, both his "fun" side and his shortcomings, and you have thoroughly figured out the multiple effects on your life. I suppose all fathers must have flaws, since they are human, but some flaws are more hurtful than others. You have expressed your feelings so vividly. I just turned to your blog after posting my blog about my father this evening, and I admire your courage in exploring the sadder side of your ambivalence. I was not able today to explore my sadder side about my father--I just brushed it in a few phrases. We can always forgive, and at the same time always regret. Thank you for sharing this post with us.ReplyDelete

A touching, thought-provoking and heartfelt post, Laura - as the eldest child, I had a difficult relationship with my Dad who was basically very controlling and sensible, but fun and loveable too, occasionally. He was so protective of me that he still exerted strict control over me, in some areas, when I was married and in my 30's and I resented it hugely. He complained bitterly about my choice of cars, for example, for being less than practical. When he died 11 years ago I felt lost, but free to make my own decisions, which he would have disapproved of - heartily and vocally. Even now, if I have a difficult decision to make, I think "what would Dad do?" and I come up with the sensible answer, which I can choose to disregard, if I wish, without having to explain myself now. I guess I had a (sometimes)fun Dad and a Good Father, even if we didn't agree on much at the time. Thanks for clarifying my thoughts on the Dad/daughter relationship - I think mine was more Good Father than Good Dad, rather than the other way around. I think it has a lot to do with his own relationship with his Dad, which was not good, but he never really discussed it in detail. We have to get on with it, regardless, and we will :-) JoReplyDelete

DNA Charge Motion: Regimes and Behaviors
Published on
Because DNA is a quasi-one-dimensional species, and because each base is a pi-type chromphore, it was long ago suggested that DNA could conduct electricity. This has become a widely investigated area, and remains of interest for fundamental science and for applications. We will discuss a very simple picture involving a combination of hopping and tunneling that seems to fit much of the available data. Other aspects, including the distance-dependent reorganization energy, defect energetics, hopping models with strange distance dependences, and fabrication into quantum-dot detection entities, will also be discussed.
