A Delightful Recipe for Orange Delight Cookies
Delight your friends and family with a batch of frosted orange delight cookies from Anita Chu's Field Guide to Cookies. I have made several of Anita's cookies, and these are by far my favorite: they're moist, light, and refreshingly tangy, which makes them the perfect spring and summer cookie.
As many of you already know, I'm currently writing A Field Guide to Sandwiches, which will part of the same popular series for which Anita has written. I want to send a BIG thank you to everyone who has so kindly wished me well. You always brighten my days. Also several people have emailed me asking if I'll need recipe testers. Yup! I sure will. I'll post an announcement for it when the time rolls around, so you can test (and eat) some delicious sandwiches if you'd like.
In the meantime, eat your cookies.
Orange Delight Cookies
Makes approximately 30 cookies
Print recipe only here.
(NOTE: The recipe calls for a stand mixer. If like me you don't have one, then a hand mixer works just fine.)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup softened unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice
Orange frosting:
2 1/2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 1/2-2 tablespoons orange juice (I used closer to 2 1/2 tablespoons)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed for several minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and orange zest and mix until combined. Add flour mixture and orange juice in three additions, alternation between the flour mixture and the juice.
Drop tablespoons of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet at least 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on wire racks for at least 30 minutes before frosting.
For the frosting: In a stand miner, cream butter and sugar at medium speed for several minutes until light and fluffy. Add orange zest and juice, and mix until smooth. Frost cooled cookies using using a mini rubber spatula (or as I did, my index finger).

My husband has this thing where he won't eat oranges (something about how he was traumatized as a child by how sticky and gross they were at soccer practice or something - what a wimp!), but I think I'm just going to make these for myself. They look so yummy and perfect for the humid weather!

A standard bungalow was not in the cards when Charles Marion and his wife, Anne Bishop, decided to build a new lakefront home for themselves and their two sons not far from their home in Elgin, about a 90-minute drive southwest of Ottawa.
"We wanted something a bit different," says Marion, an antique dealer.
Different is what they got when they bought a circular home from North Carolina-based Deltec Homes (deltechomes.com).
The three-bedroom house, which arrived as prefabricated wall panels and roof components on a couple of flatbed trucks, is still being completed. But already, says Marion, "Everyone loves it. When people drop by, they go, 'Wow! Look at that roof and ceiling.' "
Thanks to its curved walls, the house affords a spectacular panoramic view, while its hurricane-resistant engineering is reassuring in a world where the climate is changing faster than Kirstie Alley's dress size.
The Marion-Bishop family plans to use the 2,000-square-foot home as a cottage for now, transforming it into a permanent residence over the next couple of years. They're in good company as an ever-growing number of North American homeowners decide that if you're not round, you're definitely square.
In Nelson, B.C., Mandala Custom Homes (mandalahomes.com) manufactures pre-designed and custom circular homes. The company has seen a slowdown since the housing market cooled off, says president Lars Chose, but that just means the factory is now operating at full capacity instead of being run ragged with overtime.
"The demographic for these homes is just so wide. We sell to everybody: yoga teachers, retired police chiefs, a professor at Stanford University. We've shipped the homes all over North America, even to Alaska and Hawaii. Once they're up, people finish them with anything from Home Hardware kitchens to custom cabinets."
A Mandala home costs $50 to $90 a square foot. Depending on shipping distance and local labour costs, that number will double or triple by the time a home is completed. Add some optional features and a circular house comes in at roughly the same price as a good custom-built house.
Circular homes can be placed on full basements or concrete slabs. The Marion-Bishop family has opted for the latter, encasing a radiant heat system in a red concrete floor stamped to look like brick.
The prefab kits, which typically range up to 2,500 square feet but can double in size if the homeowner chooses a two-storey home, are quickly assembled on the building site by a contractor.
Insulation, usually foamed in, is then added along with wiring and plumbing. Manufacturers say there's no problem getting building permits or insurance because the engineered homes meet or exceed building codes.
Homeowners have come up with numerous variations on the basic circular structure, including two round pods joined by a rectangular link.
Inside, where woody finishes are popular, rooms typically fan out from the centre. Homeowners usually avoid pie-shaped rooms because they're not functional; instead, rooms tend to be square or rectangular. Because the wall panels themselves are flat, positioning of furniture isn't a major issue.
On the outside, owners choose from a range of claddings including prefinished wood siding and Hardie cement board.
The homes, say manufacturers, can withstand hurricanes, heavy snow loads and other extreme weather. Even earthquakes aren't an issue, says Chose. "The components are interdependent and held together with engineered metal strapping. So even in an earthquake, the building moves as a unit and then settles back down when it's over."
Circular homes also boast high energy efficiency. Because a round structure can offer the same interior square footage as a conventional home, but with a smaller wall area, there's less exterior space exposed to energy-sapping heat and cold.
Steve Linton, Deltec's Director of Sustainable Technologies, says the aerodynamic shape of a circular home means air flows around it instead of exerting pressure on flat wall surfaces. That in turn means less infiltration of exterior air than in a conventional home. Natural Resources Canada says that air leakage accounts for 25 to 40 per cent of the heat lost from an older home.
Deltec also advises buyers on a range of other energy-saving design options. They include deep roof overhangs, which can help control solar gain through windows during the summer, window placement, and orientation for maximum solar gain in the winter.
Buyers can also opt for a solar hot water system designed specifically for the company's roofs.
Jimi Lin likes all those green features, but she bought her Deltec home primarily because she lives in Venice, Florida and wanted hurricane protection. An interior designer by vocation and Feng Shui master by avocation, she also praises the positive energy associated with a round home.
"A circle is always a symbol of the universal. And sacred sites are always round: the Oracle at Delphi, Stonehenge. Also, the panels come in eight-foot widths, and eight is a sacred number: it means abundance and auspiciousness."
Sacred numbers or not, living circularly means tapping into an old and widespread tradition. From the portable, felt-covered yurts used by nomads in Central Asia and the round houses of the British Celts to the teepees of First Nations people and the igloos of the far north, round has long meant home for countless folks.
Circular homes got a brief modern makeover when American inventor and architect Buckminster Fuller modelled his Dymaxion house on a grain bin in the late 1920s. The house never got rolling commercially, but Fuller did bring domed design to the public consciousness when he and architect Shoji Sadao created the famous geodesic dome that was the American pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal.
Since then, yurts, easily assembled and once popular mostly with the yoga and wilderness-trekking crowd, have become hip among North American homeowners.
Customers of Surrey, B.C.-based Yurtco Manufacturing Inc. (yurtco.com) have outfitted their yurts with spiral staircases, hardwood floors and luxury kitchens. Yurtco is represented in Ottawa by Blue Spruce Enterprise (blue-spruce.ca).
Yurtco vice-president Darin Gradin says that the buildings, designed to withstand extreme snow and other conditions, have received a major boost from our growing environmental consciousness. "Everybody's getting so eco-friendly, and yurts can be assembled without disturbing the land too much. They can even be mounted on just concrete piers."
Laurie Murray and George Kerr built their own spin on a green, round house 16 years ago in Brooke Valley, just outside Perth, Ont. They cut down some of the 40-year-old red pines on their property, cut them into one-foot lengths and laid them on their side in a bed of mortar to produce a round, cordwood home.
Cordwood was sometimes used to construct barns in the 19th century, but round cordwood homes are rare.
"We had friends who had one, and it seemed pretty ideal," says Murray. "We didn't have a lot of money or skill, so we decided on this. Friends would show up, help us for a few days, and then thank us when they left!"
At 1,200 square feet with a loft, the home is cosy for the couple and their two sons. They've kept the centre as an open, common area with a table and hammocks and installed a cupola-covered skylight to brighten the interior. Thanks to the thick walls and well-insulated roof, it stays cool in the summer and warm all winter, says Murray.
Determined to minimize their ecological footprint, the family generates most of its electricity with roof-mounted photovoltaic panels. Propane powers the major appliances, and a wood stove keeps the home toasty during the cold months.
"It has a really good flow to it -- a nice energy," says Murray. "Everyone says, 'What a good feeling this place has.' "

This summer, a strong loonie and even stronger roster of art exhibits in Europe makes a Grand Tour as tempting as it is within grasp. Indeed there are so many great art shows this summer that, après le deluge (OK, après le ash clouds), Gauguin, Basquiat and Monet might define Europe's summer of 2010.
Herewith, the best of the fests, ranked by cultural significance and an entirely idiosyncratic assessment of the art I .
Who doesn't like the soothing paintings of Impressionism? It's kind of saying you don't like puppies. The unusual light of Normandy was a catalyst for the school, and this summer Normandy returns the love with the Normandy Impressionist festival. Every harbour town from Rouen to Honfleur is on board, with an Opera about Monet, and an outdoor cinema series featuring the grainy movies of the time. Noteworthy is "Impressionism Along the Seine" at Giverny, the former home of Monet, whose lovely gardens and waterlily-filled ponds figure in many of his paintings. This show explores the river that inspired such artists as Rousseau, Monet, Caillbotte and Renoir to leave their ateliers and breathe in the plein air. Curator Marina Ferretti calls the Seine "the birthplace of new painting in the second half of the 19th century." To Sept. 26; normandie-impressionniste.fr.
The Grand Palais is presenting Claude Monet's first major retrospective in 30 years, tracing the 19th-century painter's long career, from his first landscapes in Normandy to Giverny. From Sept. 22; grandpalais.fr.
A compare-and-contrast opportunity comes later in the summer with Gauguin: Maker of Myth at London's Tate Modern. This blockbuster aims to show Gauguin through a modern prism, not least as a canny self-promoter.
Years before John Lennon, Gauguin compared himself to Christ, in his 1889 Self-Portrait as Christ in the Garden of Olives; a social agitator and master bohemian, he exploited the artist-muse relationship. From Sept. 30; tate.org.uk/modern.
Fashion junkies are penciling two exhibits into their Hermes agendas: Yves Saint Laurent: Retrospective is an expanded version of the YSL show at the Fine Arts Museum in Montreal two years ago with YSL's seductive feminized "smoking" tuxedos and revolutionary street-inspired ready-to-wear line-up against a Belle Epoque backdrop. To Aug. 29; paris.fr.
The second, 3 Grands Createurs: Cristobal Balanciaga, Givenchy et Philippe Venet, at the 18th-century Château de Haroué, in France's Alsace region is curated by Givenchy himself. The designer, who retired from his fashion house in 1995, spent years chasing down the seminal Givenchys on show -- including the black dress to end all black dresses: the one Audrey Hepburn wore in the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Among the superlative Balenciagas is the wedding gown for the Queen of Belgium. To Aug. 13; chateaudeharoue.fr.
Basquiat at the Fondation Beyeler in nearby Riehen is a retrospective of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the American painter and graffiti artist, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of his birth. Basquiat started making graffiti in Brooklyn and quickly found himself at the centre of the frenetic '80s New York art scene before his death at 27. His art incorporated Bible stories, voodoo, cartoons, advertising posters and the iconography of jazz and rap into a genius or garbage synthesis, depending on your view. To Sept. 5;
Some might call Damien Hirst this decade's answer to Basquiat. The British artist has been called a trailblazer and has also been accused of crass commercialism. Indeed, he has made a fortune faster then you can preserve a cow carcase in formaldehyde. So it's possibly fitting that he has a retrospective in the billionaire's paradise, Monaco. Cornucopia, at the Oceanographic Museum, features Hirst's spin paintings, skulls and controversial formaldehyde pieces as well as recent works that include a pickled shark, made for this exhibit -- terror frozen in an aquarium. To Sept. 30; oceano.mc.
There's always a Picasso blockbuster going on somewhere. This year it's at New York's Met, but a show in Zurich might hold its own. Picasso is a recreation of the Spaniard's first ever retrospective, at the Kunsthaus in 1932, which was curated by the artist himself. Some of the 60 major works that were part of the original exhibition will be back. From Oct. 15; kunsthaus.ch.
A satellite Pompidou Centre is opening in industrial Metz, in Northern France, this summer. The inaugural exhibit, Chef d'Oeuvre? sounds, judging by the description, like a grab bag of art-world names, albeit many rarely loaned, such as Alexander Calder's Josephine Baker IV, meant to lure us to the new building whose design is as out there as the original Pompidou was when it opened in 1977 in Paris. Architects Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines are already garnering comments for its undulating roof, which looks like a Chinese hat. To Oct. 25; centrepompidou-metz.fr.
Urban Africa is a contemporary view of Africa at the Design Museum via the photographs of hip Ghanian-English architect David Adjaye. To Sept. 8; designmuseum.org.
The city's modern art scene has exploded in recent years, thanks in part to the opening of the beautiful Istanbul Modern Museum, where Turkish photographer Murat Germen and German snapper Thomas Radbruch are having side-by-side exhibitions. Thomas Radbruch: Rusty End; Murat Germen Way. To Sept 19; istanbulmodern.org.
With all that new money, it's no wonder Moscow's art scene is also growing. The Third Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art is a sprawling event with sites all over the city. Worth a stop amid the creative mayhem -- including nude models posing in the city's streets and a conceptual piece involving the cross-breeding of live chickens -- is the Garage Centre Gallery, opened recently by Dasha Zhukova, the gallerina girlfriend of billionaire Roman Abramovich. The Garage is offering Mark Rothko: Into an Unknown World, the first ever Rothko exhibit in Moscow. Until Aug. 14; garageccc.com.

Of course, the most important reason to keep a cat in is for the animal's own safety. Cats like to go outside, but for their own good, they shouldn't be indulged. After all, young children might like to play outside unsupervised, but allowing them to do so is negligent. The same is true for allowing cats out.Outside threats to cats are numerous and take their toll on cat's lives. According to Barbara L. Diamond's article "Bringing the Outdoors In" (Cat Fancy, April 1990), "While the average outdoor or indoor-outdoor cat lives two to three years, an indoor-only cat's average life span is 12 to 15 years or more." A look at just a few of the hazards facing outdoor cats explains why their lives can be so brief:
Disease. Rabies and other zoonotic diseases have already been mentioned as threats to people. More common are diseases that inflict cats only and that are spread through contact with other cats. Two diseases that kill large numbers of cats each year are feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus. Both diseases are transmitted from cat to cat and, once contracted, result in the eventual death of the animal due to a compromised immune system. Keeping cats inside helps prevent the transmission of these killers.
Parasites. Outdoor cats inevitably pick up fleas and ticks and then bring these pests into the home with them. Fleas can cause anemia, skin irritations, and allergies in cats. These parasites also pose risks to humans since they can transmit disease through their bites. Ridding the pet and home of fleas and ticks is difficult and can expose the pet to harmful chemicals. Indoor cats aren't generally exposed to fleas, ticks, ear mites, or other parasites.
Poisoning. Poisons exist on chemically treated lawns, in bait left out to kill rats or mice, and in auto antifreeze drained from cars (a sweet substance cats love to lick, but which is deadly). Most cats love to chew on greens, but their fondness can be safely satisfied with grass grown in an indoor pot.
Other animals. Other cats, dogs, and wildlife are potential enemies of cats and often engage in fights that leave a cat injured. Outdoor cats can suffer torn ears, cut eyes, abscesses, and other injuries requiring expensive veterinary treatment.
Cruel people. All shelter workers can tell horror stories about cats that come in tarred and feathered, burned, or tortured in some other way by cruel kids or disturbed adults. A cat outside is a likely target for people who collect animals to sell to research laboratories. Outside pets are at the mercy of the people they encounter.
Traps. The HSUS speculates that over 100,000 cats are caught in traps each year. Those who aren't killed may suffer for days before being released and often lose limbs from the injuries.
Traffic. Most outdoor cats die from auto accidents. It is a myth that cats are "streetwise" about cars. Cats are intelligent and alert, but they stand very little chance against fast-moving vehicles.
Pet overpopulation. Anyone who's ever worked in a shelter knows that unaltered cats allowed to roam and mate at will account for millions of the cats euthanized each year. One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in seven years. All pets, whether strictly indoor or indoor-outdoor, should be spayed or neutered. Pet owners who allow unaltered animals outside are irresponsible and at the root of the terrible pet overpopulation problem resulting in millions of animal deaths yearly.Copyright © 2001 The Humane Society of the United States All rights reserved.

Mike Sando, ESPN.com @espn_nfcwest 7m
Jim Harbaugh extremely high on WR Ricardo Lockette. Sensing big things.
Bleh. I remember being impressed with Lockette on the first day of training camp when I was attending it in person. If he ends up being a thorn in our side, that will be kind of annoying. I was sad to see him get cut; would have preferred someone else leaving the team. No more details than what Sando just Tweeted above, but I hope for our sake it turns out to be overblown.

James Buckley is my 2 x greatgrandfather. He was born on 23 April 1838 in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
In the 1841 and 1851 census returns James is living with his parents, Thomas Buckley and Henrietta Buckley (nee Mason) at an address in Fleece Street, Keighley.
James married Sarah Tattersall three days after his 19th birthday on 26 April 1857 at the Parish Church of Bingley.
By 1861 James and Sarah are living at an address in Green Street, Keighley. I don't know the house number but Green Street is a small unmade road consisting of terrace houses. James is shown as a "mechanic" in the census return that year and Sarah is described as a "house wife".
Ten years later in 1871 James and Sarah have moved to Wellington Street, Keighley. James is still working as a "mechanic" and they have had five children:-
Joseph (1858-1861)
Elizabeth – born 1858
Emma – born 1863 (my greatgrandmother)
Prince – born 1865
Samuel – born 1869
By the time of the next census in 1881 Sarah had died and James had remarried.
I haven't got Sarah's death certificate so I don't know the cause of death but she died at the age of 46 on 24 January 1880.
Later the same year James married Ellen Spedding on 30 October. They had one daughter, Annie, born in 1882.
On the 1881 census James and Ellen are living at 5 Smith Street, Keighley together with James's four surviving children from his marriage to Sarah and with William Spedding (84) who is Ellen's father.
James has had a career change and his occupation is described as "iron fitter". Three of his children, Elizabeth, Emma and Prince are working in one or more of the local textile mills. His father-in-law also worked in the textile mills and is a retired warpdresser.
At some point in the next ten years James had another career change and in the 1891 census he is "landlord and licensed victualler" of the White Bear Inn at Steeton with Eastburn – about three miles outside of Keighley.
I used to have a photograph of James and his family sitting outside the inn but I can't find it anymore. The inn has had a recent name change is now called The Eastburn Inn.
Coincidentally in the 1891 census James's brother Mason was also a licensee at The New Inn, Cononley, about five miles from Steeton with Eastburn.
James died sometime in Q4 of 1896. I haven't got a death certificate yet so have no information as to the cause of death.
I have found Ellen Buckley (widow) in the 1901 and 1911 census returns living with her daughter Annie at 1 Thomas Street, Keighley. Ellen is working as a charwoman in 1901 and Annie's occupation on both returns is "milliner".

I love your blog! I love your simplicity, resourcefulness, and the way you steward your money so well!
I have a question. You know how your closet of clothes is rather small? I really want to learn how to be like that. I feel like I always buy things that are really cheap (b/c that's how my mom taught me to shop and it feels rewarding when I get a good deal), but sometimes I don't always wear all that I have or I end up not liking it and giving it away…
How do you keep your closet so minimal? And do you have any general shopping tips? Or specific ones for people like me who have a small budget and go a bit crazy with the sales and clutter?
Thanks! I'd really appreciate any of your input!
First of all, thank you so much!!!
My closet wasn't always that small. When I got married, I had to reevaluate my spending habits of what we really needed versus what I wanted. Marriage has really helped me to have a frugal mindset. I can't afford to go shopping often. It also helps that my husband and I are both very practical when it comes to things. We only keep items in our home that we need or use regularly. Otherwise, we either find a way to make money off of it or donate it. I've borrowed that mentality for my wardrobe. That's how my closet stays minimal.
I've mentioned this before but I don't like shopping. So when I go shopping, I am fast. I learned that the more time you take, the more you'll over-think and rationalize an unnecessary purchase. My strategy for shopping is to not even touch the clothes. I scan them. I look at the print. I see what kind of fabric it is before I touch it to see what it really feels/looks like. This helps me to sift through the cheap fabrics and colors/prints I don't care for. I don't buy cheap fabric clothes because (a) they look cheap, (b) they don't last, and (c) most are trendy and not classic – I want long-lasting clothes for less, not cheap clothes for less. (A few stores that sell overpriced cheap clothes are Charlotte Russe, Wet Seal, and Forever 21. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy from them. If you see something you love, go for it. Just remember it won't last…like my sequin flats.)
Purging Your Closet
- First, try on all your clothes and see how they fit. If they don't fit or flatter, they've gotta go. No questions asked.
- I learned this great technique from Kjrsten. She once mentioned that she organized her closet by putting the clothes she's already worn in the back of the closet so that everything would be worn once. I thought this was a fabulous idea and have done this a time or two. It makes you see what items you want to keep going back to and the ones you can't find a way to wear. Those go.
- Take them to a consignment store for $$, sell it on ebay, go to a clothing swap, trade with your friends, and get rid of those clothes!
- Emily: Settle on certain numbers of clothing for each category: seven pairs of jeans, ten blouses, seven sweaters, etc.
- Rinse and repeat.
- Find ways to rework your old clothes such as DIY projects.
- If your shirt/dress is a little big, take it in or use a broach.
- Make your own skirt.
- Use a dress as a top or skirt….or turn a dress into a skirt.
- Use a button-down dress as a coat.
- Use ribbons as belts.
- Use scarves as belts.
- Check out thrift stores, consignment stores, garage sales, and ebay but look for quality items. For thrift and consignment stores, check to see if they have any sales on certain days and only go shopping during those days. And don't be afraid to bargain at garage sales. They just want to get rid of their junk fast so most of the time, they'll take whatever.
- Try to wane yourself of the sales paradox. Only buy something (on sale) if you reaaallllly love it and you can think of at least three ways to wear it. If you kind of like it, don't buy it.
- Janelle: Save up and splurge on quality clothes you love that will last you years.
- Alex: If you like something, set a price you'd be willing to pay (Me: without looking at the tag first). If it is more than what you think it is worth, don't buy it.

This December, Magnum Photos' Print Room pops up at the 99 Mount Street Gallery in Mayfair with an exhibition of classic portraits of cinematic royalty, both historic and contemporary.
Collectively Magnum's archive of film imagery, the product of working on film sets capturing behind-the-scenes moments and photographing film directors, actors and actresses on and off camera, includes a large part of the history of cinema. The pictures included in this exhibition date primarily from the Fifties and Sixties, with the inclusion of a small selection from the Twenty First century, and are a mix of vintage and contemporary prints.
Included here are images famous beyond the reputation of the individual photographer or the Magnum agency, pictures such as those by Dennis Stock of James Dean in a rain swept Times Square (1954) or those produced by Eve Arnold during ten years working with Marilyn Monroe from 1950 to her last film, The Misfits (1961). The 1950s, a period when the cult of the cinema idol grew, coincided with Magnum's own 'Golden Age' – a time before television was widely available and the picture magazines reigned supreme as the main disseminators of news and publicity. Individual Magnum photographers forged friendships with movie stars and directors, getting the kind of unchecked access no longer conceivable to today's celebrities.
Magnum's photographers were commissioned for off duty stories, formal press shots and work on film sets. The strength of many of these portraits is that they are both candid and respectful. Such is the work of one of the agency's founding members, David "Chim" Seymour (1911-1956), who was assigned to shoot a relatively unknown Sophia Loren in her Rome apartment in 1955. Rather than capturing the off duty reportage he expected, Loren chose to play up to the camera in one after another pose prepared with a nod to her role model Marilyn Monroe. The best-known image from this series depicts the actress atop a table on her balcony in heels, fishnets and bodice, displaying her glorious curves in a self-conscious embodiment of a screen idol.
In the Sixties, when Mount Street was "swinging", David Hurn worked in London photographing models and rising movie stars. Amongst these pictures are those taken of his friend Jane Fonda: a black and white vintage print from the Italian set of her film Barbarella (1967) and two cibachromes from a series of publicity shots for the film, recording Fonda's outlandish and sexy wardrobe devised by her husband, the film's director, Roger Vadim.
Paolo Pellegrin's series of colour photographs of Oscar nominees taken for the New York Times in 2008 are a lesson in contemporary "off duty" portraiture. Working within the confines of the carefully controlled access that in this age of celebrity maintains a film star's mystique as well as privacy, Pellegrin's photographs were grabbed in hotel rooms or the backs of cars on the way to press events. Despite these limitations, he artfully captures an introspective mood in pictures like that of Kate Winslet, which transcend the rush and bustle of promotion.
Magnum Photos is delighted to be working with the 99 Mount Street Gallery in a location previously inhabited for many years by Eve Arnold's gallerist Zelda Cheatle and frequented by Eve Arnold herself, who lived on the street.

William and Lucy Miles are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter Mary Elizabeth to William Addison, son of Robert and Edie Graham. The newly weds were married 27 November 1867 in Pulaski, Pulaski, Virginia.
Mary Elizabeth Miles was one of at least four children born to Lucinda H Bailey and William Miles on 10 June 1850 in Pulaski County, Virginia. William was a farmer in the Pulaski County area on the 1850 Census. 1860 just lists him as a laborer, not a farmer (like his neighbors). It appears he had a farm on the 1850 Census but not for the 1860 Census. The 1840 shows four individuals in the house, which confirms what we have, there could have been children who died. There is a ten year gap between children, which probably shows there were some lost. Mary Elizabeth is the last child we have any record of, which may not be accurate since her mother would only have been around 38 at the time. We just know so very little about this family. We don't know where her parents were born or even where they died. It seems her parents moved from Pulaski County to an unknown location.
William Addison Graham was the first of at least nine children born to Edith Booth and Robert A Graham 11 April 1849 in Newbern, Pulaski, Virginia. The Graham family is a massive Western Virginia (which includes the present West Virginia) family that seems pretty well documented. Robert was a farmer in Pulaski County. After Edith passed away, he moved to work in the mines of McDowell County, West Virginia and passed away there.
William and Mary were born and raised in Pulaski County and would remain there until after the turn of the twentieth century when they would relocate to McDowell County in West Virginia. All the censuses for these years 1850 to 1900 were in an area called Wassie, Highwassie, and now mapped as Hiwassie. Hiwassie is small enough that information is given relating to the town of Draper, which appears to be the nearest town of worthy notable size. This family is the opposite of the Miles family (lack of information) in that you have to spend time weeding through all the Graham relatives to make sure you have your right person.
Since there are so many Graham's in the area, I believe that William and Mary's family have become commingled with another family, or else Mary was very prolific at bearing children. I hope someone can provide some more information to clarify this, but from the records as I have been able to make out, William and Mary had SEVENTEEN children. While not impossible, the chances of that many seem unlikely, especially with some of the dates between the children. But I will lay it out there and let someone hopefully correct me.
Lucy Bell Graham born 7 April 1870 in Newbern and died in 1917 in Welch, McDowell, West Virginia. She married a W L Dunford in 1891 and James Matthew "Max" Crowder later.
Andrew John Graham born 17 August 1871 in Snowville, Pulaski, Virginia and died 8 March 1912 in Patterson, Wythe, Virginia. He married Luemma Adeline Dean in 1892.
John William Graham born in 1872 in Pulaski County.
Damey Catherine Graham born 25 November 1874 in Pulaski and died 3 February 1933 in Marysville, Yuba, California. She married James Thomas Meredith (also known with the last name of Ross) in 1887.
Robert Graham born 1875 in Pulaski County and died 1884.
James Alexander Graham born 20 August 1875 (a twin?) in Pulaski County. He married Laura Jane Dean in 1892 and Theodocia Elizabeth Flinchum in 1912.
Mary Elizabeth Graham born 31 October 1878 in Pulaski County and died 3 September 1947 in Welch, West Virginia. She married William Harrison Dean in 1895.
Leander Graham born 25 September 1881 in Hiwassie and died 12 January 1970 in Pulaski County. He married Florida Gunter in 1902.
Ellen Graham born 20 May 1882 in Pulaski County and died as a child.
Emma Jane Graham born January 1883 in Pulaski County and died as a child.
Baby Boy Graham born 15 August 1883 in Pulaski County. I assume he died as a child, but have no other record.
Nerva Graham born March 1884 in Hiwassie and died in 1964 or 1965 in McDowell County, West Virginia. She married Ed Gaultney.
Emmet Dewit Graham born 23 August 1884 (another short period between births, maybe a year off?) in Hiwassie and died in 1945. He married Mary Agnes Bryant.
John Perry Graham born 9 June 1887 in Draper and died 18 February 1965 in Cucumber, McDowell, West Virginia. He married Florence Collins.
Richard Graham born 20 February 1889 in Pulaski County. We don't know if he lived to maturity or anything else.
Nora Graham born 22 May 1891 in Pulaski and died 22 October 1963 in Welch. She married Floyd Claude Richardson.
Grayson Thurman Graham born 24 February 1895 in Pulaski County and died 29 September 1981 in Bishop, Tazewell, Virginia. He married Lora Elizabeth Adams in 1913.
Between 1900 and 1910 William and Mary moved to Adkin (part of Elbert), McDowell, West Virginia. I assume the move was to work in the mines as both the 1910 and 1920 censuses show him as a coal miner.
In the 1920 Census the two had Grayson and Perry, and their families, living with them for a total of eleven living in the home. It was during this time that the picture at the beginning of this post was snapped with these last two photos.
William died 19 December 1921 in Gary, McDowell, West Virginia. I assume this means he died at work in the mines since he walked to Gary to the mines. We do not know where he is buried.
Mary died 16 May 1925 in Elbert, McDowell, West Virginia. Her death certificate indicates she died of paralysis. She was buried the next day at the Murphy Cemetery in Elbert.

text: Share: July 31, 2011 | by Lori M. Quillen Lakes, Long-term Monitoring, Freshwater What do stock market crashes, epileptic seizures, and ecological breakdowns have in common? They are all preceded by an increase in variance—be it fluctuations in the Dow Jones index, brain waves, or, in the case of a Wisconsin lake, chlorophyll.Cary Institute limnologist Jonathan Cole was part of a research team that was the first to reveal how variability in key ecosystem processes can help scientists identify the early warning signs of ecosystem collapse. Their paper was published in the journal Science."Early warning signs help you prepare for, and hopefully prevent, the worst case scenario," notes Cole. "We are surrounded by problems caused by ecological regime shifts—from water supply shortages to fishery declines; our study shows that we can identify these changes before they reach their tipping point."In a large field experiment, the team triggered a regime shift in a freshwater lake by introducing bass. The study lake was originally dominated by small fish that feed on tiny free-swimming invertebrates. Their goal was to destabilize the lake and observe the changes that led to a food web dominated by predatory fish.As bass numbers increased, smaller fish spent more time swimming in groups near the shoreline to avoid being eaten. Freed from predation, open water invertebrates shifted to forms that were larger in size. Phytoplankton, the tiny plants that are a dietary staple of these invertebrates, became more variable.Within three years, the lake's food web had completely shifted to one dominated by large fish-eating fish and larger free-swimming invertebrates.Throughout the lake's manipulation, a buoy was used to record chemical, biological, and physical vital signs, noting even the smallest changes. Manual samples were also taken daily. By analyzing these massive sets of data, the team was able to detect that an ecosystem shift was looming.More than a year before the food web transition was complete, variance in chlorophyll—the green pigment found in plants and algae—was a reliable indicator of the impending food web shift. The study is the first time that an early warning sign for ecosystem collapse has been validated in the field. If similar signs could be identified in other types of ecosystems, it would revolutionize environmental management, according to the study's authors.The catch? Early warning sign identification requires extensive insight into an ecosystem's unique chemical, physical, and biological properties. The chlorophyll "red flag" would only help identify food web shifts in freshwater lakes. Such an approach may not be practical for every ecosystem, but once initiated regime shifts can be difficult to reverse. When water is no longer potable or fisheries lose productivity, the economic and ecological costs can be staggering.The paper highlights the importance of long-term environmental monitoring efforts. Without them, environmental regime change predictions are impossible. Cole notes, "Automated sensors, remote sensing technology, and computing are making continuous environmental monitoring much more accessible." Looking toward the future, the marriage between monitoring efforts and predictive statistics will be a valuable tool in managing resources in a changing world.

Jolt Awards: Coding Tools, February 06, 2013 The best IDEs and coding tools of the past year
Jolt Award: JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA 12.0 Ultimate
JetBrain's IntelliJ IDEA has long been a most deeply loved Java IDE. For much of its lifetime (I've used it since release 3.0, so I can't speak to earlier times), it has been at the vanguard of all IDE development, regardless of language or platform. That it has been able to maintain, even thrive, in a sector in which all its major competitors are available for free is a testimonial to the quality of implementation and the speed with which JetBrains integrates new Java technologies. Think of a Java package or tool that suddenly became popular GWT, Spring, Groovy, JDA, the open-source servers, Android, and so on and you'll find that IntelliJ was always the first to support them. And it maintained its lead with more and better features, when competitors finally climbed on board with their own products.
The 12.0 release of IntelliJ shows that the pace of innovation continues unabated. This release adds an Android UI designer, faster compiler, support for the Play Framework 2.0, support for announced Java 8 features (including code assistance for lambda expressions, method references, and default methods). It also adds many new features to its Groovy capabilities, including enhanced support for Cucumber testing.
And its Web technologies continue to be extended. It was one of the first IDEs with a JavaScript debugger. In this release, it adds more Node.js features as well as support for Google's Dart language. Finally, in terms of VCS products, it has added support for TFS 2012, which complements its existing support for Subversion, Git, Mercurial, and Perforce. I use the first two of these options and find that they are completely integrated into the UI. You can manage the check-ins, diffs, and merges all from within the IDE. In the image above, the lower left window shows the history of commits and pushes on a Git-based project. It includes clickable entries that reveal the actual diffs and code additions and deletions. This is deep integration.
For once again improving on its remarkable track record of feature development and its history of frequent upgrades, IntelliJ IDEA 12.0 wins this year's Jolt Award for coding tools. Congratulations!
Andrew Binstock
