There have been a number of component leaks all claiming to show off Apple's new iPad recently
In fact, the new images align neatly with a video which appeared online last week
Elsewhere, leaked components from the iPad mini look practically identical to those currently on sale. In both cases take a large pinch of salt-but it does seem likely that Apple is putting the larger iPad on a diet this year.
Honestly, we aren't expecting to see a new iPad at Apple's launch event tomorrow

Babysitter arrested in death of N. Fayette 5-month-old
A Franklin man has been charged in connection with the death a 5-month-old north Fayette child after statements he made to investigators were inconsistent with the child's injuries.
Fayette County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Brent Rowan said investigators on Feb. 25 arrested Steven Anthony Haire, 22, of Franklin, in connection with the death of Zachery Freeman, age 5 months, related to an incident that occurred at a residence on West Lane in north Fayette County.
Fayette investigator's have charged Haire with first degree cruelty to children, Rowan said, adding that additional charges are expected.
Rowan said Haire was a friend of the family and was babysitting the child at the time of the incident.
Rowan said on Feb. 21 sheriff's deputies along with Fayette County EMS responded to a home on West Lane in reference to a 5-month-old child who was not breathing. Haire told deputies the child stopped breathing after he laid the child down with a bottle to take a nap, Rowan said.
Fayette investigator's working with the doctor's at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta determined that the child's injuries were not consistent with the statements given by Haire at the time of the incident, said Rowan.
Rowan said emergency workers at the scene performed CPR on the child who was then transported to Piedmont Fayette Hospital and later life-flighted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Hospital. The 5-month-old was placed on life support when he arrived at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Rowan said. On Feb. 25 the child was taken off of life support and died at 7:01 p.m., Rowan said.
Haire was later arrested in connection with the child's death and he is currently in the Fayette County Jail.

Prime Minister John Key spoke to more than 500 members of
South Auckland's Pasifika community today in an attempt to
sway votes from the Labour stronghold.
The meeting, with Pacific church leaders at the Samoan
Independent Seventh Day Adventist Church in Mangere, was also
a platform to promote National's candidate for Mangere, Misa
Fia Turner.
However, even National's Pacific Island Affairs Minister and
Maungakiekie MP Sam Lotu-Iiga admitted that unseating
incumbent Mangere MP, Labour's Su'a William Sio, would be a
tough ask.
"I wouldn't get overly optimistic about it," Mr Lotu-Iiga
Ms Turner had worked hard in the local community, however the
meeting's primary aim was to shore up the party vote for
National, he said.
Mr Lotu-Iiga said he grew up in the Mangere community and was
once too a Labour voter, but he had been seeing a shift in
support towards National. "Things are changing around here."
Also at the meeting was Manukau city church group member Del
Kumandan, who said he too had seen National's support grow in
the area.
"The tide's definitely turning…the people are identifying
with what National is doing for them."
However, not all were as convinced.
Robert Ramsay said he had previously been a Labour voter, but
had become disillusioned with the political process and
wasn't planning on voting in November's general election.
"I used to be a hard-core Labour voter but then I just
stopped voting...I'm just not really interested in politics
Christina Pauu-Tonuga said National was still seen as
promoting a "rich man's world".
"There's still a lot of poverty and I don't see much change
Yet Prime Minister John Key said there had been a shift in
support in the Labour stronghold of South Auckland.
"We've been saying for quite some time that we see a shift in
the Pacific voting patterns.
"I can't think of a time when I've been the leader of the
National Party when we would have had so many people in
Mangere turn up for a National Party meeting .
"I think it just sends a very strong message that there are
changes afoot in voting patterns for Pacific New Zealanders.
"Our big job now is to make sure that come the polling day
they do turn up and they do cast their party vote for
The Pacific community had been identifying with National
Party values more after coming to New Zealand and originally
finding work in low-skilled, unionised jobs dominated by the
Labour movement, Mr Key said.
"We're still very much the underdog with Pacific voters and
also, in South Auckland, but I think we are going to do
better in this election then we've done in the past."

Split Second is a 1992 British science fiction film starring Rutger Hauer, Kim Cattrall, and Neil Duncan. The film is directed by Tony Maylam and Ian Sharp.
|This section requires expansion. (September 2014)
In the year 2008, heavy rainfall has flooded large areas of London. Rookie police officer Dick Durkin (Duncan) is assigned to partner Harley Stone (Hauer), a burnt-out and highly cynical homicide detective who, according to his commanding officer, survives on "anxiety, coffee and chocolate" after being unable to prevent the murder of his partner by a serial killer several years previously. Now however, the murders have begun again and Stone and Durkin are assigned the case. After investigating the scenes of several killings, they appear no closer to identifying the killer, with their only clues being that the murders seem to be linked to the lunar cycle, and that the killer has multiple recombinant DNA strands, having absorbed the DNA of the victims.
Finally, after Stone's girlfriend Michelle (Cattrall) is kidnapped, the detectives track the killer deep into the flooded and disused London Underground system and discover the truth: the killer is not human. It's a horrific and possibly demonic form of life that is fast, savage, bloodthirsty and fixated upon killing Stone just as it previously killed his partner. In fact, as the movie progresses, each killing and "appearance" of the monster is an attempt to lure Stone closer and closer.
During a tense battle in and around an abandoned underground train, Michelle is found suspended over the water as bait, but Stone is able to pull the monster's heart from its chest and kill it. However, as the policemen leave the scene with Michelle in a rescue dinghy, bubbles of air are seen breaking the surface of the water, suggesting that there may be more than one monster.

The subway scene was directed by Ian Sharp.[3]
Lawrence Cohn of Variety wrote, "Split Second is an extremely stupid monster film, boasting enough violence and special effects to satisfy less-discriminating vid fans."[3] Chris Willman of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "It's hard to think of a less satisfying creature feature in recent memory than the simply terrible Split Second".[4] Stephen Holden of The New York Times called it "fairly dull".[5] Doug Brod of Entertainment Weekly called it "utterly soulless and imitative".[6]
Belgian grindcore band Aborted used an image from the film for their first album's cover The Purity of Perversion.

Mozza: earnest summation
Nancy Silverton's Mozza Cookbook veers sharply from the magnificent (pizza crust, meatballs, an incredible dish of mussels with tomato sauce) to the not-quite-right (a bland pan-roasted halibut; a glitchy brussels sprouts recipe, a slushy Meyer lemon gelato), but cooking from this book was never less than enthralling for me. It is full of exciting and exotic dishes (stinging nettle tagliatelle, caramel coppetta with marshmallow sauce and salted Spanish peanuts) that I still want to try on the chance that they'll fall on the magnificent end of the spectrum. And based on the record of the recipes I've already tried, it seems probable that a few of them would.
I cooked 27 recipes from Mozza in January and February:
worth the price of the book -- 3 (the ones I mentioned in the first sentence of this post)
great -- 9
good -- 8
so-so -- 6
flat-out bad -- 1
The book has problems, probably more than it should given Silverton's reputation. But I love this book. It's challenging and interesting and inspiring and I consider it a shelf essential.

Jennifer, I have a question for you, have tried any of the recipes in "the whole foods market cookbook"? Someone recommended to me, but the reviews at amazon aren't the best, just asking. I totally love your book and have recommended to several people!ReplyDelete
No, I haven't. I didn't even know it existed!ReplyDelete
You are on fire today!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4/20/12, 9:19 PM
I too will try to comment more often as I love your posts on cooking through cookbooks and your 'earnest summations' -- and all of your writing! Loved the recommendation re checking out a potential cookbook from the library before buying -- it has certainly saved some shelf space!ReplyDelete
from another Jennifer....
Well there is a lot to be said for inspiration, even if all the recipes are not worthy. Some of the cookbooks I like best just point me in the right directions.ReplyDelete
- Steven4/21/12, 12:54 PM
Like everyone else here, I love the cookbook explorations & ruminations & summations as much as your depictions of the family life that orbits around the food.ReplyDelete
My cookbook obsession is similar to your own, yet I have never really examined what this obsession might mean or what it might say about me.
There are so many issues: What does this need to continually buy new cookbooks mean? Am I looking for new recipes or just inspiration? Would I be better off ditching my hundreds of cookbooks and instead just start flying solo from what I've already learned from all those volumes?
Would I be a better and/or more creative cook if I stopped trying a new recipe from a different ethnic culture every time I cooked and instead scaled back and cooked the way all those wise women in Paula Wolfert books cook? -- utilizing a set repertoire of ingredients and techniques to cook variations on the same dishes over and over to produce meals that, while perhaps not adventurous or show-stopping, are perhaps more comforting and satisfying to those who eat what I cook, and perhaps more gratifying personally?
Is there some way to distill all I've learned from cooking hundreds of recipes from hundreds of books to develop a way of cooking that is completely individual and recognizably my own?
If anyone is fit to explore such issues, entertainingly and insightfully, it would be you! How about a book on this topic?
- Anonymous4/21/12, 1:44 PM
I bought this cookbook a couple of months ago when you first wrote about it. Then Nancy came to the Tucson Book Festival and she was wonderful! I've tried many of the recipes, also, and have had a lot of success (so far!). The meatballs are in the oven right now. Thanks for your great reviews. I've purchased three books based on these - including yours. Loved the apricot ginger bread and the cherry chocolate bread!ReplyDelete

Gingrich Tops Latest List of Guests for Thatcher Funeral
Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House of Representatives and a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2012 U.S. presidential election, topped the latest list of expected guests at Margaret Thatcher's funeral.
More than 2,000 invitations have gone out for the service for the former prime minister in London's St. Paul's Cathedral on April 17, with all surviving former British premiers and U.S. presidents being asked to attend. The ceremonial funeral with full military honors is the biggest such event for a political leader since the state funeral for Winston Churchill in 1965. Queen Elizabeth II will lead the mourners.
Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard and Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, were also on the list of expected attendees published by Prime Minister David Cameron's office yesterday.
Roads in central London will be closed and Parliament suspended for the service, which starts at 11 a.m. More than 700 troops from U.K. units that fought in the 1982 Falklands War with Argentina under Thatcher's government will line the route of the procession. Cameron's office also released details yesterday of plans for Thatcher's body to rest in the Houses of Parliament overnight before the funeral.
Divided Reaction
Thatcher's death on April 8 at age 87 after a stroke has prompted a divided reaction in the U.K., with her Tory supporters lauding her economic reforms and strength of character. Her political opponents have pointed to the decline in traditional manufacturing and growing north-south divide under her premiership, which lasted from 1979 to 1990.
Also on the list of expected guests announced yesterday were the actor Michael Crawford and the opera singer Katherine Jenkins. Maurice Saatchi, whose advertising agency created the "Labour Isn't Working" posters that Thatcher's Conservatives used to oust the Labour Party in the 1979 general election, is also expected to be there, Cameron's office said.
Among those whose planned attendance was confirmed previously are former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair and former South African President F.W. de Klerk.
Thatcher's coffin will stay overnight in the Chapel of St. Mary Undercroft at Westminster before being taken to St. Paul's.
There will be a short private service to receive the body at 4 p.m. on April 16, attended by about 100 people, led by the former premier's family and senior figures from both Houses of Parliament. The chapel will then be open until 9 p.m. to allow lawmakers and parliamentary staff to pay their respects.
The chaplain to the speaker of the House of Commons will keep a vigil in the chapel through the night.

Off Kilter, to me, is a staple of Epcot that should never be removed. My boys both grew up listening to the Off Kilter CD's in the car and both enjoy taking in a performance while we are in Epcot. The main guys from Off Kilter are more than just Cast Members, they are friends who always seem happy to see up and take time to say hi after a set.
We are very disappointed in the decision to remove them from Epcot's entertainment offering and, although I intended no disrespect to the upcoming entertainment, I can't see how a lumberjack show can be "thrilling". I reserve my right to judgement and will gladly eat humble pie if the new show turns out to be good but I must say that I will always miss seeing Off Kilter.
If you are on facebook, I ask that you check out the Save Off Kilter group and do your part to let Disney know that you are not happy with this decision.

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my 2-3 favorite all-time attractions in Walt Disney World. I remember being blown away as a little kid when I first rode the attraction, and I waited in anguish during the summer in which the attraction was down for its major Jack Sparrow refurbishment. After a few more tweaks and additions we are now in the current iteration, complete with mermaids and all.
This shot was taken during Pixelmania 2013 and I really like the timing of the shot, as it features the skeletal mermaid and pirate in a dynamic composition that gives your eye plenty to follow. You can almost hear the haunting refrain of "Dead Men Tell No Tales!" echoing through the caverns as you view this photograph. The lighting was perfect and I made very minor tweaks in Lightroom to get the finished look.
Enjoy your day, everyone, and be sure to check all the good doings over at WDW360.com!

It didn't dawn on me until right before heading out to see Chelsea Light Moving that Thurston Moore has been making music for more than three decades. And I reflected upon how people I knew back when I first heard Sonic Youth, which was probably at least after a decade of their existence. Even before learning about how seminal Daydream Nation was, the first spin of "Teenage Riot" awakened a certain awareness, which shed a bit of light on why I felt a certain kinship with the gloomy few in a small town, Midwest. We we were much more interested in the British post punk, art, and literature than mingling with "the popular" crowd. The last I knew, the once nonconformists absorbed into the society that expects marriage, children, and a steady job. While I am still the outsider who can't yield to a routine work for a mere survival. And somehow, I felt Moore would validate my seemingly desultory existence.
At my favourite Portland venue, Doug Fir Lounge, I stood right at the foot of the stage. Moore walked out, looming over me like the tree the establishment was named after. Though the passing of years has left its mark on his face and Fender, the unruly hair and the casual attire were unaltered. But most importantly, Moore's punkish attitude and raw energy was still intact. For those of us who like the world to be a bit incongruent and spontaneous, Chelsea Light Moving provided an evening where dead relay stopped the show for several minutes, songs were dedicated to the likes of Richard Hell (who was in the house) and Pussy Riot, and story about why Moore stopped smoking weed (whether true or not) was told. As I walked out into the night alone, I relished the life that was customized for my being.
Check out our live videos from the show here.

Come and enjoy a relaxing visit on beautiful Boone Lake.
Our house is lake front property situtated at the head of Boone Lake/tailwaters of the Southfork of the Holston River. There is a dock that is available for shared use where you can dock you water vessel or just sit and sun.
Unit#1 - The upper level of the house has 3 bedrooms, a full bath, dining room, living room, and a large kitchen with double french doors that lead to a 14' X 36' cover deck.
Unit#2 - The lower level has 1 large bedroom with 2 Queen beds, a full bath, den and kitchen .
The house can be rented as a whole or either level can be rented separtely. Bring a group or just a couple and your needs can be met..
You can spend the day fishing, hiking, biking, sightseeing, shopping and so much more. Or just spend the day on the lake boating or jet skiing with the convenience of just a few steps out the back door. You can bring your water vessels and dock it right at the property. The public boat ramp is within sight of the house but if you have a small boat or jet ski you can launch it at the dock on the property.
If fishing is your thing you won't find a more convenient place then this. Just travel up the lake and you can fish the Holston River, or you can simply fish Boone Lake all day and if you travel down the lake approx. 45 min. in a bass boat you could fish the Watauga area. Guided tours as well as angler supplies are available nearby.
Bristol Motor Speedway is only 3 miles away and a straingt shot to the track. If you are a race fan this is the place for you. Nothing could be more exciting than going to the races and afterwards coming back to the house to wind down on the covered deck & talk about the race day and how your driver finished.
Barter Theater in Abingdon, Va., is approx. 15 miles. If you love live theater than this house is a plus for you.
For the avid mountian biker, the Creeper Trail in Damascus, Va. is just a short drive away.
After spending the day enjoying the lakes. rivers, races, or any number of activities or events in the area, you can kick back and relax the remainder of the evening sitting on a huge deck overlooking the lake as a gentle breeze sweeps your cares away.
Book a stay with us now. You're sure to have a wonderful time.
Keywords: Lakeside house
This house is a property that I have had for 7 years and leased it on an annual basis. I love the lake and love to spend time there so I have decided to share that time with others. Therefore this property is now available for you to enjoy as I do.
The Owner purchased this bungalow in 2005
I live near by and know how much there is to do and enjoy in this area. There is something for everyone. Young or old there is something for you.
There is a boat dock for those who have a boat. You can enjoy sunbathing or sitting in the shade of the trees by the lake. There is a huge flat back yard that extends to the lake where you can park additiona vechiles or have room to enjoy numerous outside activities.
We also have a sandy beach area for the little ones. The water is shallow so it makes it less stressful when young kids are present.
On cool nights we like to build a fire and sit around socializing.
Our friends and family had a wonderful experience at Karen's house last year for the Rhythm and Roots festival, it is very spacious and loved the back porch! Karen was a joy to deal with and we recommend the location for the Bristol Speedway or for your stay in and around the Bristol VA/TN area.
We had a ladies night out and Karen's bungalow was the perfect place to stay overnight! The beds were comfortable and the area was quiet. The kitchen had all the things we needed to cook breakfast in the morning. The only questions I had before we got there Karen responded to quickly which was very helpful since it was set up as a last minute thing. Overall, excellent!
We rented this bungalow to attend the Bristol races. There were 9 of us all together and we were all very comfortable. The kitchen is huge! The place immaculately clean throughout. Wireless internet worked fine. Loved the deck overlooking the river/lake; wish we had more time to spend at the property to enjoy it more. Karen was great and just a phone call away for questions. One issue we had was taken care of immediately. We wished that we had another bathroom with so many of us trying to get ready at the same time, but other than that, would definitely rent this property again. Thanks Karen.
If you are looking for a place on Boone Lake that is a little off the beaten path yet convenient to everything in Tri-Cities, this is it. Home is spacious (We rented up and downstairs), comfortable clean beds, and a terrific lot. Additionally, the rental rates are very reasonable.
Perfect for fishermen or just sitting on the dock and enjoying that morning cup of coffee.
Karen is a super person to deal with.
I expect we will return.
We were cautiously optimistic for this rental property. We had previously stayed at the luxury condo's across from Bristol Motor Speedway, they were extremely nice however were sold out for this years trip. When we arrived Karen met us at the home, she was very nice, and thorough. The home is older, but nicely updated and clean. We were not planning on spending a lot of time there, so things like the TV and programming selection were not important to us, nor did we use them so I can't even comment. The kitchen is large and very nice. The back deck is awesome. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay there again next year.
The area was clean and well maintained but it is a basement unit. The view was outstanding being lakefront property. Karen and her husband were very helpful. It does need a few touches to make it an excellence experience. Needs better TV selection and needs a few lamps in the bedroom and the living room as the overhead lighting was a little over powering. We probably would stay here again since it was really close to Bristol Motor Speedway and would recommend it to a friend.
Bristol Motor Speedway approx. 4 miles.

American Queen Activities
Why Choose American Queen?

- Bottom Line: The perfect Mississippi cruise option for active travelers who appreciate dining and entertainment choices

American Queen Entertainment
For a boat its size, there's a surprising amount of entertainment to be found on American Queen -- and some of it breaks out at unexpected times. We're talking about the singular delight (or horror, depending on your tolerance for high decibels) of the boat's calliope, found on the top deck next to the bar that bears its name. There are red-white-and-blue concerts when leaving river ports and passing through locks that have visitors' viewing platforms. Stand close enough, and you can feel the mist from the steam producing the music.
The main entertainment venue is the Grand Saloon, a posh two-story showstopper. The theater is a sea of gold and red, with dark wood and box seats surrounded by thick curtains, plus an ornate lighted proscenium that frames the stage. Its design is based on Washington's Ford's Theater and it even has a replica of the box in which Lincoln sat on that fateful evening; on the ship, the "Lincoln box" is named after Ralph Waldo Emerson. A wide variety of performances take place there, though most are geared toward an older clientele. Expect lots of music, from big band sounds to a revue of made-in-America classics and Broadway favorites. Depending on your sailing, you might also be treated to magicians or Mark Twain impersonators. In addition, some voyages feature the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Rat Pack Show (a Sinatra tribute) and groups of yore like the Platters and the Lovin' Spoonful. It's all good fun, and there's a chance for dancing with the chairs cleared away at least once per cruise.
You can catch daily lectures in the Grand Saloon by the boat's "riverlorians," experts who provide historical and often lyrical context on the boat, famous American figures connected to the rivers, and the passing landscape. They're mini-celebrities onboard; many passengers latch onto them as they pass by on deck, and they're always happy to answer any questions. Often one can be found in the Chart Room, where maps of the river are laid out for inspection.
Puzzles and various board games, as well as large tables, are available in the Mark Twain Gallery and Ladies' Parlor. Bridge players can post their availability. There is no casino onboard.
American Queen's two main watering holes (the alfresco, horseshoe-shaped Calliope Bar on the top deck and the Deck 2 Engine Room Bar) feature Dixieland jazz and Broadway standards from time to time. The Calliope Bar, at the back of the ship, has lots of small chairs and tables scattered about, some with umbrellas for shade, and a great view of the paddlewheel.
We found the Engine Room Bar -- where you watch the paddlewheel spinning away outside the windows and nurse a cocktail at the gleaming mahogany bar -- to be a particular delight. Whatever you do, don't miss a trip to the engine room itself, down a flight of steps to the right of the bar. The crew is happy to chat up passengers about the amazing mechanism that brings the paddlewheel to life.
The Captain's Bar is located just outside the dining saloon as part of the Main Deck Lounge; there's piano music or singalongs every night. It's the best place for an after-dinner cocktail.
In every port of call, American Queen offers passengers a free hop-on, hop-off tour. Buses adorned to look like American Queen, courtesy of a "skin" overlay, transport passengers around ports of call, and you're free to hop on or off at any number of predetermined spots. A guide narrates the route and explains what's attractive about each stop. Most routes take 20 to 40 minutes to complete the full circuit, and good walkers can also do most of the loops on foot at their own pace (varies by port), should they wish.
Depending on the itinerary, you may end up in a small town you've never heard of. For instance, we visited Henderson, Kentucky, and Madison, Indiana, the latter being a particularly winsome find with its shops, restaurants and interesting architecture and history. In other cases, ports include some of America's most interesting cities. In Louisville, for instance, passengers can pick and choose among the Museum of Arts and Crafts, the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts (for a 35-minute multimedia extravaganza called "Kentucky Show!") and the Louisville Glass Works, among other spots.
Conversely, passengers can also book Premium Choice Tours for an extra fee in a number of towns. Akin to standard shore excursions on bigger vessels, they include private transportation, more personalized service and occasionally a meal. Louisville's Premium Choice option is a $59, four-hour excursion that includes a visit to the Kentucky Derby Museum at Churchill Downs and lunch at Lynn's Paradise Cafe, a local legend that serves the town's famous Hot Brown sandwich.
And don't hesitate to borrow one of the cruiser bicycles from the ship's collection; many of the smaller towns we visited had lovely (and flat) towpaths that flanked the river -- perfect for cycling.
American Queen Public Rooms
No need to worry about getting lost on American Queen; despite its 418-foot length, the boat is easy to traverse, and the many staircases on its outside decks make it a snap to get around. Let's retire the word "ornate" here -- just about every public space on the vessel is steeped in rich Victorian flourishes.
Most days start in the center of the boat on Deck 2, home to the Purser's Lobby, which centers on an intricately carved staircase leading down to the J.M. White Dining Room and the Grand Saloon. A massive chandelier hangs above the stairs, its light providing an ethereal glow on the cherubs painted on the ceiling above. You can get information on shore excursions in the lobby or pore over trinkets in the American Queen gift shop. (If you're onboard when chef Regina Charboneau is trawling the decks, buy her cookbook, and ask her to sign it -- she's a peach.)
Just beyond the Purser's Lobby are American Queen's most over-the-top spaces. The sprawling Mark Twain Gallery is a plush, jam-packed living room of sorts that serves as the vessel's main meeting area. Comfy leather chairs, couches, tables, steamboat models, birdcages, bookshelves, a piano ... you name it, you'll find it. We saw a lot of card games going on down there. It's also one of the best spots to tap into the boat's free Wi-Fi, and there's a cappuccino machine to keep the pulse racing.
Just beyond the Mark Twain Gallery are two of the boat's most intriguing rooms. Even though American Queen was built in 1996, designers adhered to the sexist ways of yore to keep things authentic. Hence, there's the unisex Gentleman's Card Room, a super-comfortable space with high-backed leather chairs, a giant fish mounted on the wall and, of course, a game table. Behind the table on the wall is "Killer," the stuffed head of a wild boar that was allegedly slain when it strayed into the path of the paddlewheel of the now-scuttled Mississippi Queen riverboat.
And if the men get their own space, then the woman should as well, right? The Ladies' Parlor, which likewise is open to anyone who ventures inside, is another Victorian-era ode to excess, though with more potted plants and flowers, a lighter color scheme, a "swooning couch" and seats by the windowsill. Like its counterpart across the hall, it's an ideal spot for card playing, jigsaw puzzle-solving, reading and Web browsing.
Nab one of the best seats in the house on the covered Front Porch Cafe, a lovely alfresco area on Deck 3. It's furnished with rocking chairs and hanging swings, all the better to enjoy the breeze off the bow. Here's a tip: go at night, and you'll have it almost to yourself. The view of tiny towns twinkling in the distance with the moon beaming overhead is breathtaking.
True mariners will want to check out the Chart Room on Deck 4, just above the Front Porch. There are shelves full of books and, naturally, charts. It's also a good place to sit back and chill. If you want some fresh air, head just out the door and grab a rocker.
Travelers with mobility issues can use the bank of elevators midship. From our observations, few people seemed to have trouble getting around the boat, and the staff were quick to assist. One persistent difficulty, however, is getting on and off the boat. We saw more than a few people struggle with the bobbing, slanted gangway that provides access to some ports. In addition, there are often hills to climb once you get off the boat because towns on the rivers are elevated to protect from flooding. Fortunately, staff run around in golf carts (stored onboard when the ship is cruising) to aid passengers in port.
There is a small Internet cafe at the back of the Mark Twain Gallery that is particularly useful for printing out airline boarding passes near the end of the cruise. The free Wi-Fi is generally accessible shipwide. (Beware that both Internet and phone service can be spotty when the boat is sauntering up a river in the middle of nowhere, despite the company's efforts to improve it.) There are also several washers and dryers located around the ship for light loads on long trips; you can use them for free, and soap is provided. There is no dry-cleaning service.
There are no medical facilities, but the boat is rarely far from shoreside treatment, and trained first responders are always onboard.
American Queen Spa & Fitness
Surprise! American Queen actually has a spa, though it's a far cry from the behemoths on the mega-ships. Instead, passengers can pamper themselves in a modest-sized space on Deck 2. Prices, though not cheap, are not as horrific as spas you'll find on coastal cruise ships. Hour-long massages cost $95, while the Restorative Body Scrub will set you back $85. Facials, pedicures and manicures are also generally available. Book your reservation at the purser's desk.
Another surprise: American Queen has a top-deck "bathing" pool and a fitness center. While tiny, the pool is a welcome retreat on those hot Southern days (and nights, actually). The surroundings are less than ideal, with cheap-looking AstroTurf and a few lonely padded loungers. Still, it serves a purpose, and we didn't hear any complaints. Likewise, the fitness center is compact but perfectly amenable; there are a few cardio machines and a weight-lifting device that sat largely unused during our voyage.
Walkers have plenty of deck space to discover, as three outdoor decks traverse the entire boat.

At SUNY Geneseo, we are committed to making the residential learning experience available to all students who would like the opportunity to live on campus. Our commitment to house all students sometimes requires the assignment of students to "expanded occupancy" rooms (three students assigned to a room normally housing two students). By placing you in this type of accommodation we have been able to house you and two other students like you who are eager to attend Geneseo.
This page will attempt to answer many of your questions regarding expanded occupancy rooms.
By move-in day in August, many students initially assigned to a "triple" or "expanded occupancy" room will already have received a double room assignment by that date. The residence hall staff will be able to answer any questions you may have and will keep you informed of vacancies as they occur throughout the semester.
It is important to stay in contact with your Resident Assistant and Area Coordinator regarding any issues with your temporary housing situation after your arrival.
Why does the College assign students to "expanded occupancy" rooms?
As a residential liberal arts college, Geneseo knows that your broad education includes the people you meet and the experiences you have outside the classroom. When there is a slight increase in the numbers of new students excited to attend Geneseo, we may not have enough space to house every new student in a double room. We consider "expanded occupancy" rooms to be temporary, and occupants of triple rooms will be offered spaces in doubles as they become available. These spaces often become available prior to August move-in.
Why were you assigned to an "expanded occupancy" room?
Your priority for housing was based upon when you paid your housing deposit and when you returned your housing preference materials. We have worked hard this year to keep all incoming students with or near other incoming students. To the greatest extent possible we have avoided placing incoming first-year students in suite spaces where the other suite members are continuing students. Students who paid their housing deposits before April 25 are not tripled. Most students who paid their housing deposits on April 26 or thereafter are tripled, but students who were placed in suite-style buildings, EcoHouse, Writers House, Dante House, or Monroe are not tripled, regardless of when they paid their deposits.
How many rooms are currently tripled?
As of July 29, 2015 there are 63 rooms tripled. We expect this number to continue to decrease steadily before Opening Weekend.
How long will you be in your expanded occupancy room?
Our process for reassigning students in "expanded occupancy" rooms begins as soon as vacancies occur. Students with the earliest deposit dates will be offered the opportunity to move first. In past years, most residents in "expanded occupancy" rooms were offered opportunities to move by the end of the first semester.
What type of furniture is in an "expanded occupancy" room?
The furniture in your room will include 3 beds, 3 sets of dressers, 3 nightstands, 2 desks, 2 desk chairs, and 2 closets. Of the 3 beds, 2 will be bunked. In a few rooms, we are able to offer three distinct loft beds so that no bed is bunked, but other rooms cannot accommodate this furniture. A safety rail will be attached to the top bunk. If you know that you will want 3 desks in your room, just notify us prior to Friday, August 14, and we will arrange to bring another desk and desk chair into your room before your arrival. If, after you arrive, you and your roommates decide that you want another desk and desk chair, you can submit an online work order, and an additional desk and desk chair will be delivered to your room within several days.
How is it decided who gets what furniture?
The residents of the room decide how to arrange the furniture, choose beds, and utilize closet space. The most equitable way to do this is to wait until all the roommates have arrived before you unpack everything and choose a bed and a closet. Your resident assistant may be able to help you by making suggestions for equitable distribution.
Do the residents of expanded occupancy rooms get refunds?
Should you not be offered the chance to de-triple before certain dates in the semester, you are will receive a partial refund of your housing cost. The dates and refund structure are listed below.
de-triple offer extended on or before 9/12: no refund
de-triple offer extended between 9/15 and 10/24: $205 refund
de-triple offer extended on or after 10/27: another $205 refund (for a total refund of $410)
What is the process for filling spaces prior to moving in?
We will reassign a small number of students prior to move in based upon the same priority system with which they were originally assigned.
What is the process for deciding who relocates?
Once the residents of the room have been informed about available space, the residents of the room must come to a mutual agreement as to who will move. You and your roommates should begin discussing this before you are offered the option to move. Making the decision early will be much easier than waiting until you are offered a space. Area Coordinators/ Residence Directors and resident assistants are able to help facilitate this discussion.
If you decide to move where will you be reassigned?
When vacancies occur after move in day, priority is given to residents of "expanded occupancy" rooms in the same building. Students may also be offered rooms in other buildings, depending on occupancy.
Can you move in with a friend who has a vacancy in his/her room?
Students in expanded occupancy rooms will have the first priority to move into vacancies within their own halls. Any vacancies remaining after all students in "expanded occupancy" rooms have been given the opportunity to move will be made available to other students. At no time can a student move without the acknowledgment of their Area Coordinator.
How can you find out if a hall has vacancies?
The Area Coordinator of each hall will have a list of vacancies in his or her hall and can help you contact the Area Coordinator of the hall in which you are interested.
Can residents of "expanded occupancy" rooms choose to remain with their roommates and not move?
Residents in expanded occupancy rooms are not usually required to move from "expanded occupancy" rooms into vacancies that occur within their assigned residence hall. However, if you decide not to accept reassignment when offered, you will not be eligible for any type of room billing adjustment.
I will be living in Suffolk or Nassau, but I have 2 roommates. I thought that rooms in suite-style buildings would not be tripled. Is this a mistake?
A: In both Suffolk and Nassau Halls, 6 rooms are designed triples. These rooms differ from the expanded occupancy triples in Onondaga, Niagara, and Steuben Halls, since the rooms in Suffolk and Nassau are larger. Designed Triples are charged the "double rate."

Soko Posing With Lemons In South Of France — Dissing Kristen Stewart?
Someone is sipping on that lemonade! Soko and Kristen Stewart broke up just a few weeks ago, but it looks like Soko may not be completely over it. The singer posted a video of herself singing with tons of lemons in her hands. Could she be making reference to queen Bey's 'Lemonade?'

|The Perils of a "Policy" President
|World Approves Obama Appeasement
by Christopher Chantrill
October 08, 2009 at 10:58 pm
I ADMIT it. I was wrong. When I wrote about the importance of woman-centered conservatism back in 2007 here, in 2008 here, and this year here, I was thinking about a continuing of the old conservatism, but centered on the issues that matter most to women: health, education, and welfare.
It was an easy mistake to make. But it was wrong. Now we know what is really going to happen. Indeed it is happening before our very eyes. The new conservatism is going to be a woman-led conservatism.
No doubt when our liberal friends get to hear of this they will come up with a suitable pejorative. But it will probably be more insulting than chick-con.
The scales fell of my eyes as I was reading Steven F. Haywards article in the Washingon Post enticingly titled (for liberals) Is Conservatism Brain-Dead? Where are all the serious conservative titles that used to crowd the best-seller list, Hayward mourned? Your Glenn Becks, your Ann Coulters, your Michelle Malkins dont quite make the grade, at least not for Hayward, author of The Age of Reagan.
But wait a minute. What about all the serious titles by conservative women that have been coming out in recent years? I am thinking of titles like Return to Modesty by Wendy Shalit, The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers, What Our Mothers Didnt Tell Us by Danielle Crittenden. Those are just the more popular ones. There is also Smart Sex by Jennifer Roeback Morse and Domestic Tranquility by F. Carolyn Graglia.
Its true that these titles havent been best-sellers on the scale of George Gilders Wealth and Poverty and Charles Murrays Losing Ground that scored big in the 1980s. Anyway, Michelle Malkins Culture of Corruption is a best-seller, a solid investigative work, and should be a bible for any young conservative activist that cant wait to go underground into Chicago politics armed with a Flip MinoHD.
The woman-led conservative future is not just about conservative books written by women. It is about political activism led by women.
Lets stop worrying about losing the battle of Web 2.0. The experience of the last few months shows that conservative activists know how to use the on-line social networking tools as well as liberals. We now know how the Tea Parties got started. It wasnt astroturf manufacturers in Washington DC or racists in Racine, WI. It was women organizing with social network sites like Smart Girl Politics.
A couple of weeks ago the Smart Girl Nation held their first Smart Girl Politics summit in Nashville, TN. Then theres NeW, the Network of enlightened Women, celebrating its fifth birthday. The NeW women are conservative college women organizing on campuses all over the US to read conservative titles from Danielle Crittenden and Christina Hoff Sommers and to challenge liberal monstrosities like The Vagina Monologues. No doubt there are hundreds of similar efforts that are operating below the radar.
For all the celebration of womens liberation, the modern world has been difficult for women. The characteristic organizationsthe corporation and the family firmhave performed miracles in taming the natural male urge for war, booty, and rapine. Now instead of battling for lebensraum, men fight for market share and trophy wives. For those less courageous theres the hierarchical bureaucracy, preferred by absolute monarchies, religious orthodoxies, armies, and welfare states.
Women specialize in social relations. Every women lives at the center of a web of social relations; she spends a good part of her life maintaining those social relations by conversation and the exchange of small gifts. Over the last century liberals have forcibly wrecked the gossamer threads of these webs. To paraphrase Marx, liberals have drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of [loving] fervour, of [emotional] enthusiasm, of [feminine] sentimentalism, in the icy water of political power. That is why society, social, societal, socialism, sociology and all the soc- words have come to mean not convivial and communal relations but the reduction of all social relations into cruel politics and power.
Another word for social relations is social networking. And in social networking is power of a different kind. It is not the male power of physical force, of bureaucratic offices, armed forces, and market valuations. It is the kind of power that women exert and have always exerted through their social relations. In Spirit and Flesh, James M. Ault related how this worked in a fundamentalist Christian church in Worcester, MA. All the church offices were held by men, he explained, but that didnt mean that the men held all the power. The women controlled the church and they controlled it through their gossip networks. In their daily conversations the women defined social reality, who had done what to whom, and what the church community should do about it.
To imagine what liberal women could do with the social networking tools on the internet is frightening. Fortunately they are all at work, trying to prove that gender is a social construct. To realize what conservative women could do as they ride the crest of the social networking wave in the months and years ahead is awe-inspiring.
You will notice that I have said nothing about a certain woman conservative leader whose unpublished book is, at the moment of writing, #1 on the Amazon bestseller list.

Francis Fukuyama, Trust
[W]hen I asked a liberal longtime editor I know with a mainstream [publishing] house for a candid, shorthand version of the assumptions she and her colleagues make about conservatives, she didn't hesitate. Racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-choice fascists, she offered, smiling but meaning it.

Herbert Spencer, The Man Versus the State
These emerge out of long-standing moral notions of freedom, benevolence, and the affirmation of ordinary life... I have been sketching a schematic map... [of] the moral sources [of these notions]... the original theistic grounding for these standards... a naturalism of disengaged reason, which in our day takes scientistic forms, and a third family of views which finds its sources in Romantic expressivism, or in one of the modernist successor visions.
Charles Taylor, Sources of the Self
Families helped each other putting up homes and barns. Together, they built churches, schools, and common civic buildings. They collaborated to build roads and bridges. They took pride in being free persons, independent, and self-reliant; but the texture of their lives was cooperative and fraternal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
For [the left] there is only the state and the individual, nothing in between. No family to rely on, no friend to depend on, no community to call on. No neighbourhood to grow in, no faith to share in, no charities to work in. No-one but the Minister, nowhere but Whitehall, no such thing as society - just them, and their laws, and their rules, and their arrogance.
David Cameron, Conference Speech 2008
As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, the principal focus of her interventions in the public arena is the protection and promotion of the dignity of the person, and she is thereby consciously drawing particular attention to principles which are not negotiable...
[1.] protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death; [2.] recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family... [3.] the protection of the right of parents to educate their children.
Pope Benedict XVI, Speech to European Peoples Party, 2006
No lesson seems to be so deeply inculcated by the experience of life as that you should never trust experts. If you believe doctors, nothing is wholesome: if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent: if you believe the soldiers, nothing is safe. They all require their strong wine diluted by a very large admixture of insipid common sense.
Lord Salisbury, Letter to Lord Lytton
What distinguishes true Conservatism from the rest, and from the Blair project, is the belief in more personal freedom and more market freedom, along with less state intervention... The true Third Way is the Holy Grail of Tory politics today - compassion and community without compulsion.
Minette Marrin, The Daily Telegraph
In England there were always two sharply opposed middle classes, the academic middle class and the commercial middle class. In the nineteenth century, the academic middle class won the battle for power and status... Then came the triumph of Margaret Thatcher... The academics lost their power and prestige and... have been gloomy ever since.
