A Writer's Lifeby Gay Talese
"[A] work defined by Talese's elegant, erudite writing and marked by his lifelong (and often wayward) pursuit of disparate story threads....Through much of A Writer's Life, Talese meanders along. He offers us an insider's look at the life of a nonpareil nonfiction writer: days, weeks, months, and years of waiting, canvassing, traveling, scribbling, working and reworking, writing and rewriting. This makes for much less a memoir of Talese's life than a memoir of his writing life, a fine but important distinction." Erik Spanberg, The Christian Science Monitor (read the entire Christian Science Monitor review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The inner workings of a writer's life, the interplay between experience and writing, are brilliantly recounted by a master of the art. Gay Talese now focuses on his own life —the zeal for the truth, the narrative edge, the sometimes startling precision, that won accolades for his journalism and best-sellerdom and acclaim for his revelatory books about The New York Times (The Kingdom and the Power), the Mafia (Honor Thy Father), the sex industry (Thy Neighbor's Wife), and, focusing on his own family, the American immigrant experience (Unto the Sons).
How has Talese found his subjects? What has stimulated, blocked, or inspired his writing? Here are his amateur beginnings on his college newspaper; his professional climb at The New York Times; his desire to write on a larger canvas, which led him to magazine writing at Esquire and then to books. We see his involvement with issues of race from his student days in the Deep South to a recent interracial wedding in Selma, Alabama, where he once covered the fierce struggle for civil rights. Here are his reflections on the changing American sexual mores he has written about over the last fifty years, and a striking look at the lives — and their meaning — of Lorena and John Bobbitt. He takes us behind the scenes of his legendary profile of Frank Sinatra, his writings about Joe DiMaggio and heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, and his interview with the head of a Mafia family.
But he is at his most poignant in talking about the ordinary men and women whose stories led to his most memorable work. In remarkable fashion, he traces the history of a single restaurant location in New York, creating an ethnic mosaic of one restaurateurafter the other whose dreams were dashed while a successor's were born. And as he delves into the life of a young female Chinese soccer player, we see his consuming interest in the world in its latest manifestation.
In these and other recollections and stories, Talese gives us a fascinating picture of both the serendipity and meticulousness involved in getting a story. He makes clear that every one of us represents a good one, if a writer has the curiosity to know it, the diligence to pursue it, and the desire to get it right.
Candid, humorous, deeply impassioned — a dazzling book about the nature of writing in one man's life, and of writing itself.
"According to Talese, 'Writing is often like driving a truck at night without headlights, losing your way along the road, and spending a decade in a ditch.' Reading his first substantially new publication since 1992's Unto the Sons is like being in the passenger seat of that truck while it's in motion. Talese begins with a World Cup women's match between China and the United States; the game gives him a story idea, which he then abandons for roughly 300 pages for elegant digressions on, among other things, the civil rights demonstrations in Selma, the Lorena Bobbitt controversy and a string of flopped restaurants in an Upper East Side building. Somehow, he also works in a memoir of his early life, including perfectly etched memories of the New York Times newsroom (without directly reflecting on his prominence as one of the first New Journalists). This sort of thing can drag for long stretches unless you're willing to simply follow along as Talese pursues his impulses wherever they lead him. No matter how frustrating it is as memoir, though, this is a near-perfect expression of Talese's inquisitive personality, an inquisitiveness that has led to some of the outstanding journalism of the past few decades. 150,000 first printing. (Apr. 25) " Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"A Writer's Life will do nothing to diminish Talese's legacy, but this new book is harder to categorize than his previous work....Even with the passage of time these reported pieces in A Writer's Life remain fresh and compelling." Chicago Sun-Times
"Given the cultural significance of many of Talese's works...as examples of long-form nonfiction and of a particular kind of journalism, this memoir serves as an important addition to his writings." Library Journal
"Talese fans, language lovers, and anyone who takes pleasure in the company of an engaging conversationalist will be drawn to this work." Booklist
"Talese shows in an amiably digressive way that this writer's life has comprised not just celebrity and success, but many false starts, failures and frustrations." Kirkus Reviews
"In a memoir-obsessed moment like ours, when tell-all sometimes means exaggerated or condensed 'truth' that truly isn't, Talese's memoir is remarkable. Expect no groveling self-exposure and only limited, albeit explosive, self-analysis." Portland Oregonian
"Mr. Talese's life occupies only 80 pages or so of this 430-page book. The rest merely clears the files of four beloved projects that didn't turn out as he had hoped.... Had Mr. Talese's publisher succeeded in extracting an actual memo" Wall Street Journal
"Throughout his career, Talese has agonized over finding the best voice for telling the story....Talese eventually reached an uneasy peace with first person so that he could complete A Writer's Life. He is probably the better for it." Dallas-Ft. Worth Star Telegram
"Talese became a notable journalist for his ability to capture a person....Not surprisingly, the best writing in A Writer's Life is not about Talese himself, but rather the people around him, the fellow writers, editors and night owls, an occasional gangster, and a good many restaurateurs." Newsday
"A Writer's Life is only a failed book, not a failed life. One hopes that Talese has purged himself, and can start anew, with a fresh story he's passionate about telling honestly and clearly. And maybe stew a little less, and write a little faster." New York Times
About the Author
Gay Talese was a reporter for The New York Times from 1956 to 1965. Since then he has written for the Times, Esquire, The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and other national publications. He is the author of eleven books. He lives with his wife, Nan, in New York City.

Books in Brief: Fiction & Poetry; Address to a Hot, Wet Place
By Ken Tucker
Published: March 31, 2002
Cynthia Zarin knows that sometimes all that's needed to raise ordinary speech to poetic richness is a single, right word -- for instance, she describes winter branches as being ''furred with ice,'' or notices in a painting ''a green smear of fields.'' In THE WATERCOURSE (Knopf, $23), her third poetry collection, Zarin deploys a rigorously simple vocabulary in the service of varied forms -- an eclogue here; a round there; even a psalm. The poet's tightly packed lines contain rhymes and descriptions of animals -- a hen, moths, a haughty parrot (''Stutterer, loiterer, his cage a Taj Mahal'') -- that may occasionally remind a reader of Elizabeth Bishop or W. H. Auden. (The latter's ''crepe-paper face'' is wittily invoked in ''Auden in the Aquarium.'') But Zarin, who has also written three airy, rhyme-inflected children's books, claims her own territory in numerous poems about her children -- about taking them to a neighborhood swimming pool, or watching one of their sleep-voyages (''Not longer than the crib is wide, / you berth at every latitude, / brown bear at your foot, birds / by your head, and along your length / beasts congregate: dolphin, / seal, man-manatee; kin / in the blood-heat sea / that buoys you up''). In ''The Swimming Pool,'' a pregnant Zarin pats her round tummy while thinking about the amniotic fluid that turns motherhood into its own watercourse for a baby: the poet becomes a body of water.

Although the onscreen credits state that the picture is "from an original story 'El torbellino' by Johnston McCulley," no short story under that title has been found. McCulley, who also invented the character Zorro, wrote a series of short stories about a character named "El torbellino" in 1934. The stories, printed in the magazine Thrilling Adventures, bore titles such as "The Whirlwind's Frenzy" and "The Whirlwind's Red Trail."
The film, which was a U.S. co-production with Mexico and El Salvador, bears a prefatory title card that states: "This story was filmed in the village of Panchimalco, the Republic of El Salvador, and is based on incidents that actually occurred in Central America." Another title card at the film's conclusion states: "Salvador Films wishes to thank the government of the Republic of El Salvador, the civil and ecclesiastical authorities for their valuable assistance." The composer's surname is usually given as "Daz Conde." A contemporary source reported that Karen Wilde was originally cast as the female lead.

Lyoto Machida's next outing at Middleweight will come against Iranian born fighter Gegard Mousasi. The bout is expected to headline the Fight Night card in Brazil on February 8th and will be a five round match.
Machida is coming off an impressive first round head kick K.O against friend and training partner Mark Munoz. The fight was Lyoto's Middleweight debut, Machida was also replacing the injured Michael Bisping which makes the win that much more impressive.
'The Dream Catcher', a former multi-divisional Champion of Dream and former Strikeforce Light-Heavyweight boss, will be making his own Middleweight debut for the fight. Mousasi's previous outing was a unanimous decision win in April against last minute (disappointing) replacement Ilir Latifa in Sweeden.
The early odds for the bout have Machida as high as a 3/1 favourite. The fight could put the victor in line for a number one contender bout later on in the year. Do you think the odds are fair ?
Mousasi hasn't lost a fight in three years in the Light-Heavyweight division and will be dropping down to his more suited weight class at 185. The odds will no doubt reflect the mismatch in quality and name value of opponents each fighter has faced.
Gegard beat a relatively unknown Latifa in his UFC debut, it could be argued he hasn't faced a high level opponent since he lost his Strikeforce title against Muhammad 'King' Lawal. Mousasi has also battled with a knee injury early on in the year which required him to have surgery. Could that affect the outcome of the fight?
'The Dragon' on the other hand is 4-4 in his last eight outings in the UFC, fighting arguably top ten ranked opponents in seven out of eight of them…. sorry Randy. His last fight in Brazil though was a controversial loss to Phill Davis. Will Machida have similar bad luck as he did that night? Or will he be fired up because of his loss against Davis and make sure the judges don't play a part in the outcome of the fight ?

The governor of Hiroshima has a message for the leaders of Iran: "Having nuclear weapons is not going to solve your problems."
But Hiroshima Gov. Hidehiko Yuzaki also says the West needs to address the "root causes" of Iran's nuclear quest, which he called "very concerning."
"We need to create the conditions where Iran feels it's easier to stop stop their efforts," Mr. Yuzaki told The Washington Times.
On North Korea, whose nuclear weapons have been the focus of international troubleshooting, Mr. Yuzaki said world leaders have no choice but to engage in "patient negotiations."
The 46-year-old former entrepreneur governs the Japanese province whose capital city was decimated when the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb near the end of World War II.
Today, nuclear disarmament is the centerpiece of Mr. Yuzaki's "Hiroshima for Global Peace" initiative, which brings people from conflict-ridden countries like Afghanistan to Hiroshima to learn conflict resolution. Hiroshima's scarred history uniquely positions it to lead such an effort, he says.
"Hirsohima is known as a place of tragedy, but when you come to Hirsohima, many people are astonished at the beauty and prosperity of the modern Hiroshima city, which recovered really from ashes," he said, adding that visitors from conflict zones have been inspired to replicate Hiroshima's example at home.
The U.S. dropped an atomic bomb over the center of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, three days before it detonated a second over Nagasaki. The blasts killed more than 200,000 Japanese, and the residents of both cities suffered decades of radiation-related illnesses.
Mr. Yuzaki said he rejects the argument that the bombs prevented a bloodier ground invasion.
"I don't understand it because other historical facts show that the Japanese government would have surrendered anyways," he said. "I don't think the lives of many more American soldiers would have been lost if they hadn't dropped the bombs."
Since March, his country has been dealing with the aftermath of a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, tsunami and nuclear reactor meltdown that then-Prime Minister Naoto Kan called the "biggest crisis for Japan since World War II."
About 22,000 Japanese have been listed as dead or missing since the disasters, and recovery-and-reconstruction efforts continue.
"It's slow, and we are very much frustrated," Mr. Yuzaki said, adding that local governments "feel direct voices from citizens who want to help" but cannot due to bureacracy.
The tsunami, which precipitated a meltdown at the Fukushima Daichi nuclear plant, sparked a worldwide debate about the safety of nuclear power. Germany responded to the disaster by announcing it will end its use of nuclear energy by 2022.
Mr. Yuzaki said it is not feasible for Japan, which derives some 30 percent of its electricity needs from 54 nuclear reactors, to follow Germany's lead in the short term.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, not only do the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL own the rights to Tim Tebow, but also Vince Young, Colin Kaepernick, and Russell Wilson.
Also learned that Alouettes have held exclusive negotiation rights to: Vince Young, Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, to go with Tebow.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 30, 2013
So if any of these quarterbacks want to play football in Canada, they would have to play for the Alouettes.
I just thought this was interesting.

Collier is second healthiest county in Florida, study shows
NAPLES - Collier County is getting its gumption back.
The community is now the second healthiest county in Florida, moving up one spot from last year's third place, according to annual health rankings by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation at the University of Wisconsin.
The philanthropic health care organization conducts the analysis annually, a rite-of-spring ritual that lets public health departments and partner agencies know how well they are doing educating residents about improving their health outcomes and lifestyles.
When Robert Wood Johnson first conducted the health rankings in 2010, Collier was the healthiest and maintained that distinction for a second year in 2011 before slipping to fourth in 2012.
"We are pleased to learn Collier County is ranked the second healthiest place in Florida to live, learn, work and play," Dr. Joan Colfer, director of the Florida Department of Health in Collier, said in a statement. "This accomplishment is due to strong engagement and collaboration of many community partners, as well as every individual in our community who makes the choice to be active, eat well and practice safe and healthy behaviors."
Florida has 67 counties. This year's healthiest community is St. John's County, home of St. Augustine on the state's east coast. St. John's also ranked first last year.
The analysis is a snapshot of a community's health, looking at mortality and morbidity rates; behaviors such as smoking and alcohol use and access to medical care.
Lee County ranks No. 11 this year, the same as last year but a big improvement from No. 24 in 2012.
Lee health officials point out that the community remains stable in the top 25 percent of healthiest counties.
Dr. Judith Hartner, executive director of the health department in Lee, said collaborations with 21st Century Oncology, law enforcement agencies and other partners has helped the community maintain its improved health status.
What causes Lee to lag behind is lifestyle choices such as a lack of physical activity, obesity and smoking, Jim Nathan, president of the Lee Memorial Healthcare System, said in a statement.
"Poor health habits directly affect our health outcomes," Nathan said. "We need to continue to engage people in making healthy choices that promote physical and mental well-being."
In Lee, 20 percent of all adults smoke and 26 percent are obese, the findings show. In addition, 14 percent of residents report their health is poor or fair and 24 percent said they are physically inactive.
When it comes to access to health care, 26 percent of Lee residents are uninsured.
In Collier, obesity and tobacco use account for more than a third of all preventable and premature deaths, according to the Collier public health department. The analysis found 15 percent of Collier adults smoke and 21 percent are obese.
When it comes to assessing their own health, 17 percent of Collier residents say they are in fair or poor health, while 18 percent said they are physically inactive. Collier's uninsured rate is higher than Lee's at 29 percent and only 64 percent said they have access to exercise opportunities.
Dr. Allen Weiss, president and chief executive officer of the NCH Healthcare System in Collier, said the second-place ranking is great for the community. He also noted that Naples ranks seventh among 189 cities for overall well-being. That came from the annual Gallup and Healthways analysis released earlier this week.
"It's all an indication we are living in a great place and can get better," Weiss said.

On November 7, 2011, the U.S. State Department published a proposed rule amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR") by narrowing the categories of aircraft and related equipment controlled on the United States Munitions List ("USML"). Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") published a proposed rule adding five new Export Control Classification Numbers ("ECCNs") to the Commerce Control List, which lists items controlled under the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR"). The two rules are linked, as the new ECCNs in BIS's proposed rule will cover those items carved out of the ambit of ITAR controls by the State Department's proposed rule.
The two interrelated proposed changes represent the second step in the Administration's ongoing Export Control Reform Initiative (the "ECR" or the "Initiative"). The ECR began in earnest when BIS published a proposed rule on July 15, 2011—discussed on this blog—that laid out a regulatory construct for harmonizing the USML and the CCL. According to a Department of Commerce website, the Initiative will be implemented in three phases: Phases I and II will reconcile various definitions, regulations, and policies for export controls, and build toward Phase III, which is envisioned to create a single control list, single licensing agency, unified information technology system, and enforcement coordination center.

In Django, I try to logging the request and response content length, which exactly the same as what Django server prints to stderr.

So, I write a simple middleware as follows, but, the value of 'Content-Length' is always empty.
class LogHttpResponse(object):
def process_response(self, request, response):
import datetime
print response.items()
time_text = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S')
print '[%s] "%s %s" %d %s' % (time_text, request.method, request.path,
response.get('Content-Length', ''))
return response
I've checked through fire-debug, there is 'Content-Length' in the response headers. But there is no 'Content-Length' in the middleware, "print response.items()" shows:
[('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=utf-8')]
Is there any problem of the middleware orders?

Apple's new iOS 7 for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches sports a 'flatter' design as well as new features.
- Filed Under
Think Apple's critics struck a raw nerve with the company?
"Can't innovate anymore, my ass." That's from Phil Schiller, Apple senior vice president for worldwide marketing, speaking on stage at the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
The new iOS 7 for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches looks beautiful and reflects the "simplicity" mantra of famed Apple designer Jony Ive, who is now in control of software. We kept hearing all sorts of rumors about how the new iOS 7 would reveal a "flatter" design. But this is actually all about a depth of design, with functional and translucent ...

Ray of Light
October 26, 2011
Nearly a year ago, Burma, one of the world's most oppressive military dictatorships, held elections that were widely regarded as a sham. Few observers figured that the new president, a former military man named Thein Sein, would be allowed or inclined to carry out substantial changes of any kind. The military, it was assumed, would continue to pull the strings.
The Mirage
October 26, 2011
I. The American dream of politics without conflict, and of politics without political parties, has a history as old as American politics. Anyone carried along on the political currents since 2008, however, might be forgiven for thinking that the dream is something new—and that a transformative era was finally at hand, in which the old politics of intense partisan conflict, based on misunderstanding, miscommunication, and misanthropy, could be curbed if not ended. After the presidency of George W.
September 14, 2011
Mitt Romney has shed the dark blue suit, white shirt, and pale blue tie of his 2008 campaign for an open-neck tattersall shirt with its sleeves rolled up. His sideburns are graying, and his eyes are lined, but he still sports a boyish grin and radiates the can-do enthusiasm of a man who is promising to turn the country around the way he once turned around the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
The Trouble With Neutrality
September 14, 2011
A World on Fire: Britain's Crucial Role in the American Civil War By Amanda Foreman (Random House, 958 pp., $35) The world's biggest superpower has a problem. The citizens of a nation overseas have risen up against their tyrannical rulers, determined to claim liberty even if it takes a civil war. As the most powerful global advocate of freedom, the superpower has to admire the rebels' cause. Should it help them? Humanitarians argue that intervention can prevent hundreds of thousands of civilians from suffering hideous state-sponsored subjugation.
David Thomson on Films: 'The Hour' Is the Most Complex and Absorbing Story Currently Playing on Any Screen
September 06, 2011
If you haven't caught up with it yet, "The Hour" is halfway over. The fourth of six hour-long episodes will play on BBC America on Wednesday, September 7th. But don't be disheartened. You don't want to watch it in its original transmission because it is stretched out to 90 minutes with some especially egregious commercials. If you wait a day, you can pick it up on Exfiniti "on demand" without the commercials. Start now and you can catch up on the first three episodes, and get in training for the most complex and absorbing story playing on film (and in English) at the moment.
Forget Bailouts and Stimulus. Let's Think Small.
August 22, 2011
This article is a contribution to 'Is There Anything That Can Be Done? A TNR Symposium On The Economy'. Click here to read other contributions to the series. Various flashy stimulus packages—whether through the spending measures typically advocated by Democrats or the tax cuts regularly pushed by Republicans—remain a constant and tired refrain in our political debate. But if programs like George W. Bush's 2001 tax cuts and Barack Obama's Recovery Act tend to dominate the news, in the long run our living standards are determined by the compounded effect of productivity growth over decades.
It's the Austerity, Stupid
August 16, 2011
[Guest post by Simon van Zuylen-Wood] Yesterday David Cameron said that Britain was in the midst of a "slow-motion moral collapse," while denying that his country's austerity program was at fault for last week's riots. Cameron is right that the early media hypothesis that the riots were in part anti-austerity protests, as in Greece, was largely incorrect. The London riots were not political in nature. No chanting youth, linked arms, or raised banners.
Is it Completely Nuts that the British Police Don't Carry Guns? Maybe Not.
August 13, 2011
Amid the still-smoldering ashes of the past week's riots, the British public is not only assessing the damage—it's trying to figure out what sparked the conflagration in the first place. Where Prime Minister David Cameron has blamed a culture of entitlement and irresponsibility among British youth, the opposition Labour Party has targeted the government's austerity measures, which have cut provisions for the poor. What everyone seems to agree upon is that police forces simply weren't up to the job.
Who Are the London Rioters—And Why Can't the Media Find Out?
August 11, 2011
These days, with any mass movement, from terrorist organizations to student protests, you almost immediately have a sense of who is involved. Given the ubiquity of social media and the generally elevated level of surveillance, no modern day gathering, whether for legitimate protest, mass violence, or the shades in between, should be difficult to minutely dissect and analyze. Indeed, we have come to expect knowing everything there is to be known about an event's main actors, their shared characteristics, and how they came to behave in the way they did.
The Norway Attacks Reveal the Parallels Between Islamists and Islamophobes
July 25, 2011
Last week's heart-breaking massacre of teenagers and others in Norway makes it dismayingly clear that the religious warfare at the heart of Al Qaeda's crusade against the West and its supporters has now found its mirror-image not in the random act of a deranged lunatic, but in a meticulously planned execution of the anti-Islamic ideology that has been spreading like a poison throughout European political culture for at least a decade.

Canyon Treefrog
NPS Photo
Canyon Treefrog
Hyla arenicolor
Body length: 1 1/4 - 2 1/4"
Diet: Insects and arthropods
Frogs are usually associated with cool, wet places, but this frog can be found out in the sun on some of summer's hottest days - though actually seeing them can be a challenge. Canyon treefrogs are masters of camouflage, with an uncanny ability to quickly match their skin color to the patterns of natural rock. If you look closely in rocky pool areas, you might find one pressed against a rock overlooking the water, using its adhesive foot pads to cling to the surface. In spite of its name, this species is rarely found in trees.
At Tonto National Monument, canyon treefrogs occur in the creek near the Visitor Center. Starting in March, they can be heard calling at sunset, and sometimes during the day. The call is a strange bleating sound. Only males call, hoping to convince females that the pools below are ideal for the survival of eggs and tadpoles.

- "I have a 21 month old daughter who is allergic to peanuts (as well as many other things!!). I really like the fact that the ingredients do not include any of her allergens… at least the creamy and natural varieties. Besides the fact that it adds a lot of nutrition to her diet, it also makes her feel included. It is hard when she sees others eat things she can't have. She is really too young to understand it all, but knows her food is different. Thank you for your wonderful product!" -Becky
- "Thank you for the samples you sent the daycare center. The Children really liked it and prefer it to peanut butter. What a great taste it has. We would like to buy some. Thanks Again!&rdquo -Joan Tongen
- "I just wanted to let you know that we tried your SunButter spread sample today, and we ordered some! Thanks for making a product that my peanut-allergic daughter can safely consume. We are ecstatic!! Now she can have sb and j sandwiches for lunch! Hurray!!!! and Thanks!!!" -Karen Sabuda

SunButter: Peanut and Tree-nut Free Natural Sunflower Spread
SunButter offers a great-tasting alternative to peanut butter: sunflower butter. Like peanut butter, sunflower butter is creamy and spreadable. But sunflower butter is healthier and has a great sunflower-seed taste. Made from specially roasted sunflower kernels, roasted to perfection and ground into an easy-to-spread creamy consistency, SunButter is power-packed with a healthy mix of mono and poly unsaturated fats, protein, fiber, minerals, vitamin E, and phytochemicals.
With 1/3 less saturated fat and more iron and fiber than peanut butter, SunButter is clearly a healthier choice—especially since it has no hydrogenated oils and 0% trans fat. Better yet, kids and adults love the great taste!
A Sandwich Spread for Those with Nut Allergies
Over 3 million people are now allergic to peanuts, tree nuts or both. Many families struggle to find tasty, safe solutions to these food allergies. Many schools even have "peanut butter free" zones to protect children with nut allergies from their classmates' lunches.
SunButter, which is completely peanut-free, tree-nut free, and gluten free. was co-developed by USDAfood scientists partly to address the growing peanut allergy problem. SunButter is made in the northern region of the country where peanuts can't grow, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. SunButter is processed in a peanut- and tree nut-free facility on equipment that has never processed peanuts or tree nuts. As an added measure of safety, every batch of SunButter is tested for the presence of peanuts using the Neogen ALERT® test which can detect peanut contamination at 5 parts per million.
You can enjoy SunButter with confidence, knowing it won't cause adverse peanut reactions in those who eat it—or in those who sit by them!

All The Pieces Have Come Together.Submitted by Pam on Thu, 05/05/2011 - 16:59

About The Felted Bag. I Need Help Please.Submitted by Pam on Tue, 05/03/2011 - 17:36
Now that my bag is only a few more drying days away from "finished", and before I begin "bag #2" which I am making for my MIL for Christmas, I would appreciate some help so I don't make the same mistakes!
Don't misunderstand - I LOVE my new felted bag. There are just a couple things I would like to do better on bag #2!
I followed the instructions given in Susie Johns' The Felted Bag Book for her "Juliet" purse. And for the most part the instructions were clear and well written and beautifully illustrated. A good thing for a newbie like me!
There are so many really gorgeous bags included among the pages, I - the gal that never carries a bag - will most likely just have to make two or three more! LOVE her bags!
I would have liked instructions for joining the garter stitch fabric, but otherwise, the instructions were very thorough. The only disappointment - the strap is a bit too long and too wide and the edges uneven.
The wool I used - Brown Sheep Company Lamb's Pride worsted 85%wool and 15% mohair. I chose this wool because it is supposed to be especially well suited to felting. Oh and I used #10 1/2 needles as suggested in the pattern.
For the most part, all went well. But I have a few questions I just know some of you out there can answer!
1. Does anyone know of a good online tutorial that teachs how to seam together two pieces of garter stitch fabric. I tried Ravelry and google searches and I just can't seem to find one. Millions of tutorials for joining stockinette stitch fabrics.
Obviously, I got the pieces together. It is being felted after all, so almost any reasonable facsimile would do I suppose, but I was hoping for some practice on something that doesn't matter so much.
2. I used a top loading washer for the felting process. I actually ran the bag through twice because the straps just were not felting. The bag felted beautifully - the fibers so densely packed it will haul a ton of bricks! But, I ended up having to felt the straps by hand.
Why was this necessary? Why didn't the strap felt in the machine?
3. If you look closely, you can see long fibers on the surface. I am thinking that this is the mohair? Except that this stringy appearance did not appear on the surface of the inside of the bag. So - should I be felting my bags wrong side out?
The long stringy fibers did not occur on the hand felted strap either.
4. If I have to felt the strap by hand again, any tips for keeping the edges even?
For the second bag, I am using Cascade 220 - 100% wool worsted weight. I understand it felts well. Anything I need to know?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Rutland to discuss surveillance cameras
RUTLAND The city is discussing the idea of using security cameras to monitor its most crime-ridden neighborhoods.
One landlord suggested the idea to the Board of Aldermen on Monday after one of his properties was the site of a home invasion.
Cam Johnston said he has no problem with cameras monitoring people walking down the street.
The matter was referred to the Public Safety Committee with almost no debate.
City Police Chief James Baker said a surveillance program in residential areas would have to be a community decision.
He said the city already had a number of privately owned security cameras around businesses. Baker said vandalism dropped around the downtown train station after cameras were installed there.MORE IN Vermont NewsBARRE Democrat Matt Dunne formally launched his campaign Monday, vowing to preserve Vermonts...

Briercrest College and Seminary

Briercrest College and Seminary is a private Christian post-secondary educational institution located in Caronport, Saskatchewan, Canada. It comprises a college and a seminary, and operates the Caronport High School.
Its precursor was a home Bible study in the village of Briercrest, Saskatchewan, which grew to include several members of the community. Eventually the group formed a new church, the Briercrest Gospel Assembly. The people needed a pastor to lead the church and wanted to open a Bible school.
Henry Hildebrand was a student at Winnipeg Bible Institute and a circuit riding preacher with Canadian Sunday School Mission (CSSM). Mr. Sinclair Whittaker, one of the believers at Briercrest, was a businessman and a former Conservative member of the provincial legislature. He contacted Henry, informing him of their need for a pastor and their desire to open a Bible school. Eventually Hildebrand agreed to join them at Briercrest.[1]
Briercrest Bible Institute opened its doors on October 19, 1935, and 11 students enrolled. A rented house served as dormitory, classroom, and office for the school. Mr. Hildebrand was principal and Mrs. Annie Hillson, Mrs. Isabel Whittaker, Jean Whittaker, and Margaret Rusk helped with teaching and administration. Donald McMillan joined them in the second term as assistant principal.
By 1946, they had outgrown their facility, and Mr. Whittaker arranged the purchase of Royal Airforce Base #33 in Caron for $50,000. The new facility was dedicated on July 1, 1946, and the task of converting the airbase into dormitories, classrooms, offices, and staff housing began.
Caronport High School opened in September 1946. A grade school also began that year. Enrollment grew in all of the schools and many new buildings were constructed to accommodate the growing student body. In the early 1970s, the schools began to recognize the need for academic credibility. Briercrest became a candidate for accreditation with the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges (now the Association for Biblical Higher Education) in 1973, and became accredited in 1976. The school was given authority to grant degrees in 1974.[2] In 1979, a distance learning program was launched. In 1982, the name Briercrest Bible Institute was changed to Briercrest Bible College. The seminary began in 1983, and receive accreditation from the Association of Theological Schools in 1998. College enrollment grew from 285 in 1970 to 775 in 1985. More recently, enrolment has been in decline.
The school's mission statement is as follows:
- "Briercrest College and Seminary is a community of rigorous learning that calls students to seek the kingdom of God, to be shaped profoundly by the Scriptures, and to be formed spiritually and intellectually for lives of service."
Briercrest College and Seminary offers one-year certificates, Associate of Arts degrees, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Master of Divinity degrees. Each program includes courses in Bible and theology, Christian ministry, liberal arts, and the social sciences along with many electives. The college has been accredited by The Association for Biblical Higher Education since 1976.[1] The seminary is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools. The seminary employs a modular format (typically one course in one week) for most of its courses.
Briercrest also offers distance learning courses at both the college and seminary levels.
The college is associated with the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology (SIAST) and has transfer agreements with the universities of Regina and Saskatchewan.
In early 2011 Briercrest and Minot State University announced a partnership allowing students to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from both schools in five years. The program requires students to complete their Bachelor of Arts degree during the first three years at Briercrest college and the final two at Minot State earning the Education degree. Minot State offers five different concentrations for its B.S.E. As such a students completing this program may select earning a Bachelor of Science in:
- Elementary Education
- English
- History
- Music
- Physical Education[3]
Briercrest also offers other concurrent degrees with Minot State University such as:
- Addiction Studies
- Communication Disorders
- Social Work
Student life[edit]
The majority of Briercrest College students live in residence and participate in a school meal plan in a dining hall operated by Sodexo.
The college dormitories have a history of being named after people who have had significant impact throughout the history of the schools. Current dormitories at Briercrest include:
- Isabel Whittaker (women), known as "Whit"
- Sinclair Whittaker (men), known as "Whit"
- Hillson Hall (women, high school)
- Glen Manor (men, high school)
- Bergren Place (women)
- Lewis Apartments (men), known as "LA"
- Eliason Manor (men) built in 2005
- Sundbo Place (married students, women, and men over 21 years of age)
The last of the war-building dormitories, known most recently as Gable Heights, was demolished in summer 2005.
The campus landmark is the 2,000-seat Hildebrand Chapel. Facilities also include a 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) library, nine student dormitories, a 42-room inn, a modern dining hall, a double-court gymnasium, a hockey arena, tennis courts, numerous sports fields, a recording studio, a Subway franchise, and two coffee shops.
Briercrest College and Seminary's athletic teams are known as the Clippers. Varsity sports include men's and women's basketball and volleyball, and men's hockey. They compete in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, part of the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association and formerly in the Prairie Athletic Conference until PAC dropped their membership in the CCAA in the mid-1990s. Briercrest also has a club women's softball team that plays in the Western Collegiate Softball Association. Court sports play in the Margaret P. Reimer Memorial Gymnasium and the hockey team plays in Barkman Arena, named in honour of past president and current chancellor John Barkman. The 500-seat NHL-sized rink officially opened on February 7, 2009.
Briercrest teams have medaled in CCAA national championships four times, winning its only gold at the 1977 Men's Basketball Championship, silver at the 1991 Men's Basketball Championship, bronze at the 2012 Men's Volleyball Championship and silver at the 2014 Men's Volleyball Championship. The school has produced one CCAA National Player of the Year (Gradyn Childerhose, men's Basketball, 2012), three CCAA Coach of the Year recipients, (Carl Hinderager, men's Basketball, 1983; Stan Peters, men's Basketball, 1993; and Nigel Mullan, men's volleyball, 2012) and numerous CCAA All-Canadians.
Briercrest hosted the 1993 CCAA Women's Basketball Championships on campus and the 2014 CCAA Men's Volleyball Championships at the Yara Centre in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
Throughout their 72-year history, Briercrest has had six presidents: Henry Hildebrand (1935–1977); Henry Budd (1977–1990); John Barkman (1990–1996); Paul Magnus (1996–2004); Dwayne Uglem (2004–2013); and Michael Pawelke (2013-Present) — Sinclair Whittaker served as president of the board until 1950.
Briercrest College and Seminary is governed by a 25-member board of directors who ensure that operational policies contribute to the guidance, empowerment, and direction of the senior leadership and staff while maintaining the health and mission of the schools.

editor's review
StorkOS is an open source, fast and painless distribution of Linux derived from the world's most popular free operating system, Ubuntu, and built around one of the most minimal window managers, Fluxbox. The distro aims to revive computer with old and semi-old hardware components and it's designed for Polish-speaking users.
It is available for download as a dual-arch Live CD
The best part of the distribution consists in its ability to run directly from the bootable medium (CD disc or USB flash drive), allowing the user to try it without installing anything on his or her computer. It is available for download as a dual-arch Live CD, which means that it can be easily deployed on computers that support both the 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
The boot menu is basic, old style
When booting the Live CD image from the BIOS of a computer, you will encounter a boot menu that allows you to start the live system, as well as to perform a system memory diagnostic test, start the installer directly, check the integrity of the bootable medium (only if using a CD disc), boot the live system in safe graphics mode, as well as to boot an existing OS from the first drive.
Fluxbox looks stylish, the default language is Polish
As mentioned, the StorkOS operating system's default graphical desktop environment is built around the minimal Fluxbox window manager and the default language is Polish. The desktop session looks stylish, comprised of a transparent panel located on the bottom edge of the screen. Right click anywhere on the desktop to access the main menu and launch applications.
Includes a standard set of open-source applications
Default applications include the Leafpad text editor, Mozilla Firefox and Midori web browsers, LXTerminal terminal emulator, Xpdf PDF document viewer, GIMP image editor, Xarchiver archive manager, Mozilla Thunderbird email and news client, AbiWord word processor, Brasero CD/DVD burning software, GNOME MPlayer video player, VLC Media Player and Synaptic Package Manager for installing additional apps.

I'm not much into the Sim-business since I drive automatic anyways ... kinda beats the purpose nor the argument.
I only love two tracks, Nürburgring and Laguna Seca Raceway (because of the The "Corkscrew" at Turn 8)... those two tracks never get old.
I love playing with the TrackIR, to look further into the apex/ turn, without using mods.

just to tease Rocky for playing this game on console

Hmmph. But I can upload a 30 second replay to YouTube using my console now, so that's progress!
Great cars, nice screenshots.
I am really half and half right now, I prefer kicking back on the couch using a pad and racing on the 42" plasma, but I do miss the modding and replay/movies side of PC gaming.

I haven't moved to e couch yet. I come to people's parties and I see the kids play on console 7 feet away on a LED TV all in HD, and I say, why and what's he point.
It's like having a Victoria Secret Model actually half naked in the bedroom while your in the bathroom with the catalog.
Speaking of console, I just unlocked another video instruction for the Michael Jackson Experience.
Each his own right? As long as your gaming, we will be happy
