PHOTO: Massachusetts Honors Fallen Vets With 37,000 Flags
A picture that crossed the wire, really struck us today. It shows a sea of American flags planted at the Boston Common.
It's stunning:
According to the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund, which plants the flags, it represents the 37,000 Massachusetts residents who have lost their lives in combat since the Revolutionary War.
It's worth noting that on Saturday, the names of the 7,000 service members who have been killed since Sept. 11 were read aloud at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. You can find a list here.

NME's 100 Tracks Of The Decade was written by Tim Chester, Jamie Fullerton, Luke Lewis, David Moynihan, Hamish MacBain, James McMahon, Emily Mackay, Ash Dosanjh, Ben Patashnik, Alan Woodhouse, Martin Robinson, Matt Wilkinson.
20Over And Over (2006)
The second silver bullet (along with 'Boy From School') in the Putney electro-popsters' synapse-ruffling live set, 'Over And Over' is simply one of the biggest stone-cold bangers of all time. Play the understated jingly riff that opens the song at any gathering of more than two people and you've instantly got a party you'd skip your dog's funeral to attend – for at least those five minutes. The first single from the band's second (and first for a major label) album, 'The Warning', 'Over And Over' was the moment that the lo-fi bedroom nerds became the biggest party-starters since Daft Punk. JF
19Reckoner (2007)
'In Rainbows'' finest moment had actually been around for several years before its 2007 release. Although the early incarnation of the song bore scant resemblance to its finished state, the band apparently liked Jonny Greenwood's instrumental part so much that they decided to turn it into an entirely new track, but keep the same title. What 'Reckoner' does so effortlessly is show that Radiohead can still be masters of subtle, guitar-based songwriting. Thom Yorke has rarely sounded as soothing, and with the band's superb off-kilter playing seeming ever so slightly out of step, the song is one of the most captivating of their career. MW
18Ms Jackson (2000)
Chart-melting US hip-hop anthems invariably feature bonnet-busting beats, shotgun sound effects and a general tone of bigging up oneself. But one of the biggest hip-hop anthems of the decade, from Andre 3000 and Big Boi, was a very different beast indeed. BB's Uzi-fire rapping cut against Dre's feline croon perfectly over shuffling beats and heart-string piano as the pair laid out one side of the story of a custody battle between Dre and his ex, Erykah Badu. Hardly the normal subject matter of your usual block-raising hip-hop smash – but then [a]Outkast[/a] are hardly your average hip-hop act. JF
17Maps (2003)
The track was written by [a]Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/a] singer Karen O as a tribute to her then boyfriend Angus Andrew, a member of [a]Liars[/a]. She later said that the title was a reference to them both always being on tour, therefore she always felt lonely and miserable when she looked at where they were in the world in relation to each other. The "They don't love you like I love you" hook in the chorus is so tender it could make a pitbull well up. Bless. AW
16Umbrella (2007)
There are many puzzling things about this song, which was originally written for Britney Spears but rejected by her label. First, how is it that such a daft, stuttered lyric ("Umbrella-ella-ella") can sound so serious and epic? And second, how is Rihanna able to sing in such a cold and impassive voice, yet make the song sound so weirdly moving? The slick production makes it superficially an R&B track, but the chorus is so toweringly great it transcends genre boundaries. Perhaps that's why it's been covered by everyone from [a]My Chemical Romance[/a] to [a]Manic Street Preachers[/a]. LL
15Bang (2002)
It's not just that [a]Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/a] managed to outsmart Radio 1's profanity censors back in 2002 with 'Bang' and its downright rude lyrics: "As a fuck son, you sucked" and "The bigger the better". Or that Karen O is a phenomenal frontwoman, or that Nick Zinner is a guitar maverick that makes them so great. It's that this New York trio broke through the barrage of indie boy band pap with this single to bring excitement, intelligence and unadulterated fun to a genre noted only for its lacklustre approach to pushing things forward. That [a]Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/a] have succeeded in defying the status quo with each and every release since this explosive debut is to their credit. AD
14Seven Nation Army (2003)
Jack and Meg White became proper bona fide megastars on the back of this song, propelled by arguably the finest riff of the decade by anyone. Its popularity was such that football fans the world over continue to adapt the refrain to make their own particular chant. High praise indeed. Named after what Jack called the Salvation Army as a child, the song is now recognised as a proper, grade A classic. Recorded in London for about two pence, it still sounds amazing. AW
13The Rat (2004)
Sometimes a band unleash a song so staggeringly, elementally powerful, the rest of their career can only be a let-down. Like The Strokes gone evil, this clattering cut from the New York band's second album showcased the apoplectic vocals of Hamilton Leithauser, propelled by a relentless backbeat that owed much to krautrock. A maelstrom of finger-pointing rage ("You've got a nerve…"), this astonishing track represented the rancorous dark side of the New York indie-rock explosion. LL
12Dry Your Eyes (2004)
The song which took Mike Skinner to the summit of the UK singles chart was a surprisingly tender, blokeish lament to lost love, but it only really took off when the lyrics were amended to lament the England football team's exit from that year's Euro 2004. The track is the emotional high point of 2004's magnificent concept record 'A Grand Don't Come For Free', and will surely be the one most remember Skinner for. AW
11Can't Stand Me Now (2004)
The lead-off track from their second album showcased [a]The Libertines[/a]' gift for combining high romance with scuffed, gutter-level realism. Hence we get the deft poetry of the first verse ("Your light fingers through the dark…") punctured by the viciousness of the second: "The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder". Like all the best Libertines songs, this tale of an unravelling relationship can be read as a statement on the band's own imminent collapse ("Have we enough to keep it together?") – though, surprisingly, it wasn't all their own work. The middle-eight was penned by Pete and Carl's partner-in-debauchery, Mark Keds of early-'90s indie grafters the Senseless Things. LL

Special Order
It Happened One Night . . . and nothing was ever the same again!
Once upon a time, four superstar storytellersNew York Times bestselling authors Stephanie Laurens and Mary Balogh, along with Jacquie D'Alessandro and Candice Herncame up with a delicious idea. What if they each wrote a story about a proper young lady stranded at a remote inn away from society's constraints? What would happen? And how long would it take for her to give in to desire?
In these four amazing tales, four heroines will come face-to-face with the men who got away . . . only to discover that, instead of anger, there is still a passionate connection that cannot be denied. And while each of their lives is quite different, and their pasts utterly unique, they will all make a common discoverythat one night can change everything . . . forever.

Journal on Data Semantics
Concepts and Ideas for Building Knowledgeable Systems
With the Web serving as a huge worldwide data repository, issues related to data semantics (familiar to database modelers since the 1970s) have again become of paramount importance. As Web data comes from heterogeneous, possibly unknown and mostly uncontrolled sources, it is anything but obvious how the information beyond the most basic factual data can be correctly understood. The same concern applies to data that is exchanged between systems that need to agree on its meaning in order to avoid dangerous misunderstandings. Semantic elicitation and the availability of appropriate semantic metadata are the key to the meaningful use of information in modern distributed environments.
The Journal on Data Semantics (JoDS) provides an international high-quality publication venue for researchers whose themes cover issues related to information semantics. Its target domain ranges from theories supporting the formal definition of semantic content to innovative domain-specific applications of semantic knowledge, thus covering work done on conceptual modeling, databases, Semantic Web, information systems, workflow and process modeling, ontologies, business intelligence, interoperability, mobile information services, data warehousing, knowledge representation and reasoning, and artificial intelligence.
Topics of relevance to this journal include (but are not limited to):
- Conceptualization, knowledge representation and reasoning
- Conceptual data, process, workflow, and event modeling
- Provenance, evolution and change management
- Context and context-dependent representations and processing
- Multi-model and multi-paradigm approaches
- Mappings, transformations, reverse engineering and semantic elicitation
- Semantic interoperability, semantic mediators and metadata management
- Ontology models and languages, ontology-driven applications
- Ontology, schema, data and process integration, reconciliation and alignment
- Web semantics and semi-structured data
- Integrity description and handling
- Semantics in data mining and knowledge extraction
- Semantics in business intelligence, analytics and data visualization

We thought your frog's legs recipe was very tasty. Would make it again. Thanks for posting.
I stumbled on frozen frog legs in the new grocery store in town and bought them on an impulse. My hubby and I were very excited to make them. They were "finger lickin' good". Any chance these could be baked? I'm always try to keep things light if I can. I will definately make these again.
NurseDi, I, too, grew up eating wild game, fish and yes, froglegs. For the longest time I wouldn't even taste one because of it being a...frogleg. (after all, I was a very young little girl) However, at dinner one night my dad made me taste one, "Just try it, take one little taste, and I won't ever ask you to again," he said. Later on during that same dinner my dad also had to make me STOP eating them because I ate so many he was afraid I would get sick! lol.... I've been hooked ever since. Thanks for posting! ...txgammi

CNN anchor promotes Michelle Obama to bill-signing president
**Written by Doug Powers
House Republicans are staging a daring attempt to derail noted nutritionist Michelle Obama's school lunch agenda. The first lady deemed the GOP effort "unacceptable" on Tuesday.
Coming to Michelle Obama's defense was CNN anchor Carol Costello, who thinks the first lady has more power than she actually does:
While discussing Michelle Obama's 2010 health initiative, Costello said that the First Lady Michelle Obama "signed the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act into law."
Newsbusters was first to catch the gaffe and quickly pointed out the First Lady has no such power.
In addition to being an expert in how the government works, Costello is also apparently a climate scientist. The accuracy of her opinion on both topics should be taken with the same grain of salt.
If CNN wants to impart a U.S. government civics lesson on the masses, they should just show old "Schoolhouse Rock" episodes and probably get a ratings boost in the process.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a fluid pressure acutator that is specifically designed to operate in an environment involving fluids that attack metals either corrosively or by inducing stress corrosion cracking. Such environment is commonly found in actuators for oil field equipment.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Fluid pressure actuators are employed in a large variety of equipment for pipelines, subterranean wells, and the like. Such actuators are normally fluid pressure actuated to move a valve member to an open position and move the valve to a closed position by a highly compressed bias member. It is vitally important that such bias member retain all of its designed compressive force and that it not deteriorate or break under the severe environmental conditions to which such actuators are commonly subjected.
As is well known to those skilled in the art, such equipment is subjected to the combined hostile environment of H2 S, CO2 and/or various chlorides. The most effective and economical metals to employ for high compression springs for such actuators are various carbon steels, which are subject to relatively rapid failure either through corrosion, stress corrosion cracking or fatigue when required to continuously operate in the aforementioned hostile environment. The problem has been sufficiently serious that prior art attempts to solve it have involved the expensive use of more exotic and scarce metals for the springs or installing a control system that uses the pressurized corrosive fluid to pressurize non-corrosive and uncontaminated hydraulic oil. This necessarily means that highly corrosive well fluids can never be utilized as a source of control fluid pressure and that either a supply of non-corrosively treated oil is maintained at the well head, or expensive apparatus for separating the corrosive elements from the well fluids is maintained at the well head. Neither expedient is economically attractive.
Thus, there is a definite need for a fluid pressure actuator which provides protection for the highly compressed, carbon steels springs of such actuator from the hostile environment normally encountered in exposure to fluids produced from a subterranean well, without necessitating the utilization of a corrosive-free control fluid oil or the treatment of well fluids to remove the corrosive elements prior to application to the actuator or exotic spring materials that are immune to corrosive effects of well fluids.
The invention provides an improved fluid pressure actuator wherein the pressure induced movement of the actuator may be produced by pressurized well fluids and is opposed by a highly stressed compressive spring. The spring, however, is not exposed to the control fluid for the actuator, but instead is disposed in an annular chamber defined between the piston shaft and the interior cylindrical wall of the body or housing of the actuator. Such annular chamber is movable with the piston shaft and hence maintains a constant volume, regardless of the axial position of the piston shaft relative to the body of the actuator. Such annular housing is filled either at the factory or at the well head with a corrosion resistant fluid which will insure the protection of the highly stressed carbon steel spring mounted within the annular chamber and operates between an interior shoulder provided on the wall of the housing and a radial shoulder provided on the piston shaft. Thus, regardless of the existence of corrosive fluids in the well fluids which are operating upon a piston face carried by the piston shaft, the well fluids never come in contact with the highly compressed spring.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a fluid pressure actuator incorporating this invention, with the elements of the actuator shown in the positions prior to the application of any actuating fluid pressure.
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 but showing the elements in the positions occuppied in the actuator after the application of an actuating fluid.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is disclosed a fluid pressure actuator 1 incorporating a spring opposing movement of the piston of the acutator, said spring being completely immersed in a corrosive protecting fluid contained in an isolated and constant volume chamber. Such actuator includes a hollow body portion 10 formed by the threaded assemblage of a body cylinder 11 by threads 11b at one end to a cylinder base 12 and at the other end by threads 11c to a cylinder head 14.
Cylinder base 12 is provided with an axially extending, annular flange 12a which is adapted for securement to the bonnet ring of well known types of safety valves through the insertion of a plurality of bolts (not shown) through raidal holes 12b provided in flange 12a. Cylinder head 14 is provided with a reduced diameter end portion 14a which defines an internal sliding bore surface 14b for journalling the shaft 21 of a piston assembly 20 for relative axial sliding movement. Appropriate fluid sealing and wiping seals 14d and 14c, respectively, are conventionally provided in the bore surface 14b of bearing sleeve 14. An O-ring seal 14e prevents fluid leakage between body cylinder 11 and cylinder head 14.
Piston assembly 20 includes, in addition to the central shaft 21, a piston element 22 having an annular portion which is threadably secured by threads 21c to the bottom end of piston shaft 21. Piston element 22 thus constitutes a radially projecting shoulder on shaft 21. Piston element 22 defines at its bottom end a T slot 22a for detachably connecting to the stem (not shown) of a valve, such as a valve on a production conduit. Additionally, the piston element 22 is formed with a radially projecting piston shoulder portion 22b which has a sliding engagement with the inner wall 11a of the body cylinder 11. A suitable fluid seal 24 is mounted in an annular recess provided in the peripheral surface of the piston shoulder portion 22b.
At an axially spaced distance above the piston shoulder portion 22b, an upper piston element 26 is provided, comprising an annular member which is seated on an upwardly facing shoulder 21a formed by an enlarged diameter portion of the shaft 21. Piston element 26 thus constitutes a second radially projecting shoulder on shaft 21. Upper piston element 26 is secured in abutment with piston shaft shoulder 21a by a nut 27 which is secured to suitable threads on shaft 21. A seal 28 prevents fluid leakage between shaft 21 and the inner wall of the annular piston shoulder 26.
The outer periphery of piston shoulder 26 is in sliding engagement with the bore 11a of the body cylinder 11 and mounts a seal 25 for effecting a fluid sealing engagement therewith. Thus, there is defined between the shaft 21 of the piston assembly 20 and the inner wall 11a of the body cylinder 11, an annular chamber 30 of constant volume and which is completely isolated from any fluids operating on the exterior faces of the piston elements 22 and 26.
A compression spring 40, which opposes downward movement of the piston assembly 20 is mounted within the isolation chamber 30. The lower end of the spring 40 is supported by an annular spring support 42 which is in turn supported by a C-ring 43 inserted in an appropriate slot provided in the bore 11a of the body cylinder 11. The upper end of spring 40 bears against the radial portion of an annular spring housing 46, which, in turn, bears against the bottom face of the upper piston element 26. Thus, downward movement of the piston assemblage 20 is opposed by compression of spring 40.
In order to achieve very high compressive forces with relatively little movement, the spring 40 preferably comprises a stack of annular disc-type spring elements 41. The downward movement of the piston assembly 20 is limited by the contact of radial shoulder 22c with the inwardly extending shoulder 12c on base 12. Upward movement of the piston assembly is limited by contact of outside periphery shoulder of the annular spring housing 46 with C-ring 43.
Fluid pressure is applied to the upper face of the upper piston element 26 through a radially disposed port 50. In oil well applications, the pressurized fluid utilized to effect the actuation of the piston is generally well fluids containing highly corrosive elements such as H2 S, CO2 and various chloride compositions. This fluid is completely effective to move the piston assembly 20 downwardly, and thus achieve the actuation of the safety valve or any other type of valve to which it is connected, but it will be noted that the well fluids operating on the piston face provided by the shoulder 26 are completely isolated from the chamber 30 containing the spring 40. Thus, the disc spring units 41 may be fabricated from carbon steels, which are both econimical and highly effective, and such elements are completely protected from contact with corrosive fluids.
The filling of isolation chamber 30 with fluid may be accomplished at the factory or at the well head through a radial port 11d provided in the wall of body sleeve 11. After filling, the port 11d may be closed by a plug, but, as illustrated, it is preferably closed by a plug 52 containing a ball-type check valve 54 which will function to release any excess pressure that might be generated in the isolation chamber 30 due to thermal expansion of the fluid.
It will therefore be apparent to those skilled in the art that the aforedescribed construction provides completely dependable spring opposition to fluid pressure induced movements of a piston wherein well fluids containing corrosive elements are employed to move the piston, but the springs are disposed in an isolation chamber which moves with the piston and is completely filled with a corrosion protecting oil, thus insuring that the corrosive elements never come in contact with the spring elements.
Although the invention has been described in terms of specified embodiments which are set forth in detail, it should be understood that this is by illustration only and that the invention is not necessarily limited thereto, since alternative embodiments and operating techniques will become apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the disclosure. Accordingly, modifications are contemplated which can be made without departing from the spirit of the described invention.

School Description
The School of Politics and International Relations, is one of the UK's most exciting and dynamic places to study Politics and International Relations. We combine high quality teaching with cutting-edge research in a supportive environment that welcomes students from all over the world to undertake our undergraduate, postgraduate taught and research programmes. We have experts in all of the main areas of the discipline of Politics including: Comparative Politics, European Studies, International Relations, Political Theory, International Political Economy, Human Rights and Public Policy. We pride ourselves on our global outlook which is reflected in the wide range of international partnerships and the fact that we have a Specialist Postgraduate Centre in Brussels.
As one of the founding departments of the University of Kent in 1965, the School of Politics and International Relations has developed into an institution that is at the forefront of contemporary political and international studies. Throughout its growth and development it has played host to world renowned scholars in the areas of political theory, British and comparative politics, European studies, conflict analysis and international relations.
Since the very beginning we have had an excellent reputation for research, being the place where renowned political authors Maurice Vile, Alec Barbrook, Bryan Keith-Lucas and Bill Jenkins published their authoritative works on American and British government. Colin Seymour-Ure, who helped pioneer teaching and research about politics and the mass media, remains an active emeritus professor in the School. Graham Thomas, with Seymour-Ure, established the Cartoon Centre at the University of Kent, which has now become one of the world's leading collections on political satire in cartoon form.
David McLellan's world famous works on Marx and Marxism, as well as his pioneering study of the life and work of Simone Weil, were born out of the culture of research at Kent. Chris Taylor pioneered the use of cinema in the study of politics. Ruth Abbey brought to the School her expertise on the works of Charles Taylor, as well as her interest in liberalism and gender politics, issues that remain central to our work. The School remains one of the leading centres for the study of political and social thought.
The School was one of the pioneers in the development of the study of International Relations as a distinct discipline. John Burton and AJR Groom were the leaders in this development, and Professor Groom is still active in the field. In particular, the two developed International Conflict Analysis at Kent, ably helped by Keith Webb and Vivien Jabri, and they launched one of the first Masters programmes in the field. They were joined in due course by Chris Brown and Mervyn Frost, both of whom led the way in examining normative and ethical issues in international politics. This group helped to take the School to the position of international recognition in global political study that it occupies today. This is reflected in the School launching and running of the interdisciplinary journal, Global Society.
The study of the European politics in general and the European Union in particular has a distinguished place in the history of the School. With the incorporation of the former European Studies unit in 1996, the School strengthened its expertise in European politics and IR, bringing together Anne Stevens, Clive Church, Ian Manners and many more, who established a programme which thrives to this day.
Its international position has meant that experts from the School of Politics and International Relations have always made valuable contributions to international professional bodies. Maurice Vile was a member of the ECPR (European Consortium for Political Research) Executive Committee in its early days and today AJR Groom is one of its two current British members.
Since the 1990s we have further broadened our horizons, developing a wide range of partnerships with institutions in Continental Europe and taking a leading role in setting up the Brussels School of International Studies in 1998. We are at the forefront of the University's internationalisation and Europeanisation strategy.
Building on the achievements of the past, the School of Politics and International Relations now enjoys the presence of a number of world leading academics. Ruth Blakeley is a leading specialist on terrorism and human rights (see her groundbreaking and highly influential The Rendition Project). Andrea den Boer's prominent work on ethics and gender has been instrumental in the development of the world renowned WomanStats Project. Michael Burgess is the leading expert on federal studies in the UK. Feargal Cochrane is a world class scholar of conflict research. Elena Korosteleva is a leading expert on the EU's neighbourhood policy. Donna Lee is an internationally renowned expert on economic diplomacy and trade negotiations. Richard Sakwa is at the forefront of writing on Russian and European politics. And Richard Whitman is one of the world's leading experts on European international politics.
This school offers programs in:
- English

If you doubted there was gender bias in literature, this study proves you wrong
From The Guardian:
A new study has confirmed what many already suspected: the careers of Australia's female authors are suffering due to gender bias within the literature industry. That female writers are still consistently being overlooked in the 21st century is not only unacceptable; it is embarrassing.
The study, conducted jointly by Dr Julieanne Lamond from the Australian National University and Dr Melinda Harvey of Monash University, looks at reviewing patterns in leading Australian publications from 1985 to 2013.
Male authors were found to be more likely than their female counterparts to have their work featured in published reviews. Despite the fact that two-thirds of published authors in Australia are women, two-thirds of the books being reviewed are by men – a ratio that has remained largely the same for 30 years.
. . . .
Australia's statistics are part of a global trend; the international body Vida also releases annual stats that year on year have shown disparities between how writing by women and writing by men is received in Britain and the US.
The reviewing pages are just the beginning. Male authors are also more likely to win awards and are significantly more likely to be included on course syllabuses at both high school and tertiary levels. In short, writing by men is considered more culturally important.
The under-representation of women in our literary culture is an embarrassment to an industry that prides itself on being intellectual and progressive. It's also puzzling when considered in the economic context of the publishing industry.
. . . .
This all underlines a vast chasm between people who are consuming literature, who are mostly women, and those who are being lauded and rewarded for their work, who are mostly men.

text: What if Torterra learned Shell Smash? That'd be pretty fun, I think, and Torterra is definitely underrated in the current meta. First of all it would obviously (I would think, anyways) eliminate the Rock Polish set (because who uses Rock Polish Carracosta? :p) Anyways, after 1 Shell Smash, Torterra only fails to 2HKO a handful of Pokemon (if it's using Wood Hammer / Stone Edge / EQ), most notably Tangrowth and Exeggutor. This would make fire types like Emboar and Entei decent partners, covering each others' weaknesses (although Torterra is neutral to Water moves.) Infact, Torterra as a part of a FWG core would be excellent, something like Entei or Emboar/Torterra/Qwilfish, maybe with Uxie or someting else with access to Thunder Wave since even after +2 it doesn't outspeed everything. Despite it's new move, I can imagine the Tank sets that are onsite still being used, albeit not as often. And something I was thinking of earlier, What if Sigilyph learned Nasty Plot?

On our second day of traveling in Washington state, we rose early and took a ferry over to Bainbridge Island from Seattle. The views were beautiful, but the wind was ffffreezing cold! Once outside the car on the island I inhaled, and the strong smell of evergreens was absolutely amazing. (I wish I could put a scratch-and-sniff in this post so you could experience it!) I thought Highlands, NC had the market on that scent, but Bainbridge Island was like 10 times the scent of Highlands! I just kept sniffing and sniffing and sniffing trying to take it in. 🙂
Our first stop was Blackbird Bakery.
We were excited to check it out because we had read so many good reviews of it.
Just look at all the gorgeous cakes and pies they had on display in that case…
And all the muffins and cookies and other treats!
(Are you getting hungry yet?)
Here was our breakfast that morning (for all 3 of us – not just me!) Everything was sooooo good! If you go to Blackbird, be sure to try the Downtowner croissant. It had a caramelized vanilla sugar that was delicious. (We went back 3 times – in one day! 🙂 )
Bakeries must be big business on Bainbridge because right down from Blackbird was Coquette Bakery Cart…
and right around the corner in the other direction was Bainbridge Bakers.
(And I believe there may even be 7 other bakeries on the island!)
There were also a number of cute cute shops there.
Furnish Bainbridge had furniture, accessories, and a good selection of Dash and Albert rugs.
Another pretty shop was Plum, located up on a courtyard deck. They carried home decor items, apparel, and some gift items as well.
If I could give an award for "most charming shop" on the island, it would definitely go to Churchmouse Yarns and Teas. I don't know how to knit, but I just loved the place!
I even called our daughter at college from there to ask what kind of tea she wanted me to bring her. 🙂
Look! They had Emma Bridgewater pottery!
Wouldn't all of this just make you want to knit?!
Such beautiful displays.
It is a community place where people can meet, take lessons, or just visit.
(Yes, I loved those black gingham chair cushions. 🙂 )
And wasn't this a clever way to display those wonderful botanical prints?
Churchmouse is located right behind Blackbird Bakery. Across the street and down a bit is Salt House Mercantile.
I could have spent all my shopping money in there. They had great pillows, table linens, aprons, and tote bags. (Unfortunately, my suitcase had no room in it for much of anything else. 🙁 )
Two doors down from Salt House is Hitchcock Deli, where we stopped for lunch. Hitchcock is supposed to be one of the best restaurants on the island, and Hitchcock Deli is sort of like their little sister deli.
It was very busy at lunch. In fact, there were no tables available so we ending up eating at an outside table across from Churchmouse Yarns.
I ordered a corned beef-on-rye, and I wish I could say that I enjoyed it, but the meat was very very tough. So I definitely would not order it again. My husband and son both had other sandwiches. (One had egg salad, and the other had roast beef.) They both loved theirs, so it was just the corned beef that was the problem. (I even had my husband try out my sandwich, and he agreed that it was not good.)
For dinner we had thought about going to Hitchcock, but we decided to try some place different instead. Cafe Nola is located on the other side of Salt House, and it was right down the street from the inn where we were staying so we walked there for our evening meal. Its French Toast and brunch had been featured on Giada's Weekend Getaway a number of years ago.
The inside decor was cozy and had a European vibe, but because the weather was so wonderful, we asked to dine in their outside seating area.
My husband's salmon was quite delicious!
My son and I both ordered the Picadillo Tacos. While the dish was well prepared, and all the accompanying sides were very fresh tasting, neither of us cared for the meat. (It tasted like chili…not what we were expecting in a taco.) Next time, I want to try their beet salad, and my son might get their steak.
Of course no trip to Bainbridge Island would be complete without going to this place…
Mora Iced Creamy.
So after we finished dinner, we walked across the street and down a block for our dessert there.
Soooo many yummy sounding choices
(and they let you sample all you want!)
I had a difficult time choosing between the Espresso Mocha and the Swiss Chocolate.
Swiss Chocolate with its chocolate shavings and swirled dulce de leche won.
It was chocolate heaven. 🙂
Now please don't think that all we did on Bainbridge Island was eat. (I mean we did do a lot of it, but that wasn't everything. 🙂 ) Remember, this post was about the dining and shopping there. We did plenty of sightseeing, and that will the topic for the next post. I have been sewing and sewing and sewing for the last few days (drapes for 6 windows!) but I am finally finished with that big project, so hopefully blogging will be back to a little more regular schedule.
See you soon with an inn and some beautiful houses on Bainbridge Island.
Until next time…

Every Wave's a Towering Wall of Water For This Foot-Tall RC Surfer
If the Discovery Channel's Shark Week has left you terrified of the ocean, here's a much safer way to try your hand at surfing.
If the Discovery Channel's Shark Week has left you terrified of the ocean, here's a much safer way to try your hand at surfing.
Watching this footage of talented RC pilots making their planes perform amazing stunts is made all the more impressive when you stop to think about the skills needed to capture these impossible mid-air closeups.
They're the workhorses of our highways, but Anki is about to make one of your childhood fantasies come true by letting you race a pair of giant tractor trailers on its Overdrive racing set. They might not be as fast as the existing Anki race cars, but they come with devastating new weapons to help level the playing…
Nerf's new N-Strike Elite Terrascout RC Drone looks like something Skynet cooked up to fight alongside the Terminators. But using a wireless remote with a live video feed from the tank's camera, anyone can use it snipe at friends and co-workers while remaining safely out of range of retaliatory fire.
It might look like this erratic RC helicopter is malfunctioning and about to crash, but its pilot, Tareq Alsaadi, is in complete control. RC choppers are notoriously difficult to fly, but Alsaadi makes it look beyond effortless with a routine that has his craft flipping around in every direction.
An insect army awaits you. A team of engineers has developed a way to remotely control the movement of this beetle in incredible detail, finely tuning its gait, step length and walking speed.
The amateur aeronautical engineers from YouTube's Flight Test are known for their massive flying experiments that are often surprisingly successful. But it's this tiny creation, an RC version of the flying house from Pixar's Up that's held aloft by actual helium balloons, that we'd most like to see available as a kit.
It might seem like remote control cars are where all the real fun's at, but it's hard not to be completely wowed by this flawless miniature recreation of a Felbermayr heavy-lifting crane that itself is capable of hoisting over 80 pounds of cargo.
Children of the '80s will remember Tyco as the definitive brand when it came to affordable remote control toys. After changing hands a few times, the company was eventually bought by Mattel who is officially relaunching the Tyco brand with the new Terra Climber; the first RC toy that can climb stairs.
After ten years, BattleBots officially returned to network TV last summer. And the response from fans was so overwhelming that not only did ABC renew the series for a second season, but Hexbug has also turned the league's most popular robots into tiny remote control toys you can battle at home.
There was a lot of love for the Rebellion when it came to flying toys revealed on Force Friday back in September of last year. But at this year's Toy Fair, Spin Master is finally giving the Empire its due with a flying RC version of Darth Vader's custom TIE Advanced X1 fighter.
The smell of melting plastic is particularly unpleasant, so instead of putting Barbie on a two-wheeled self-balancing contraption prone to melting down, Mattel has given Barbie a hoverboard that legitimately takes to the air.
The YouTubers at Flite Test, the same folks responsible for that 15-foot long flying Star Destroyer, are back with a new unorthodox airborne creation that provides a unique challenge for other RC pilots as well.
It's annoying when a bird poops on your car, but large flocks of them can be a genuine problem in some areas. But when a straw-stuffed scarecrow just isn't keeping them at bay, a company called Bird-X wants you to consider upgrading to a scarecrow in the sky.
When their electric heater breaks, most people would just toss it in the trash. But Samm Sheperd instead saw potential in his busted heater, so he salvaged its internal impeller and used it to build a dirt cheap, remote control, jet-powered airplane.
To make the drone in Spin Master's new Air Hogs Connect mobile game fly as realistically as possible, players pilot a real-life toy quadcopter while clever augmented reality tricks translate their maneuvers to the action and missions in the game.
Amongst all the toys revealed on Force Friday back in September were some of the first flying Star Wars drones easy enough for kids to pilot. The same can't be said about this impressive 15-foot long Star Destroyer, though. Even its creators had a hard time keeping it airborne.
What do you do when a friend hands you a broken nitro-powered RC car they found in trash? If you're a do-it-youselfer like Mike Moyer, you of course get the engine back into working condition and then turn the whole thing into an over-the-top gas-powered pencil sharpener.
This cute, safe, hovering robot that looks like a flying marshmallow is going to reinvent drone design, its creators say.
Back in July, Oscar Mayer teased us with an RC off-road version of its iconic Weinermobile that looked impossibly fun to drive. It was unfortunately a one-off creation that few got to play with, so to make up for that tease, Oscar Mayer has created an even smaller RC version you can finally buy.

Articles from Britannica encyclopedias for elementary and high school students.
- Richard Brooks - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1912-92). American screenwriter and motion-picture director Richard Brooks was known for producing films characterized by gritty social realism, especially Blackboard Jungle (1955). He also specialized in adapting literary works to the screen, notably Elmer Gantry (1960), for which he won an Academy Award for screenwriting.
