Defending champion Rafael Nadal endured a nervous night on Rod Laver Arena before eventually fending off the persistent challenge of Philipp Kohlschreiber in four sets at the Australian Open today.
The Spanish second seed was below his best against the 27th-ranked German whose heavy hitting, especially off the backhand side, caused Nadal problems all night.
In the end Nadal simply took his opportunities better to win 6-4 6-2 2-6 7-5 in three hours and 39 minutes, but admitted afterwards he was disappointed with his display.
"The most important thing is I won, so I am happy for that," he said.
"I am less happy about my game, what I was practising but everybody has a not very good day.
"I think I played much better in the fourth set than the rest of the sets. The second set a few moments I played well too. The first set and the third, I played bad.
"I need to play a little bit more aggressively for next matches."
The left-hander will play big-serving Croatian Ivo Karlovic in the next round after he defeated countryman and 24th seed Ivan Ljubicic 6-3 3-6 6-3 7-6 (7/9).
Reigning US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro was also forced to battle as he edged past unseeded German Florian Mayer 6-3 0-6 6-4 7-5 as the temperature in Melbourne peaked at 32 degrees Celsius.
The Argentinian had needed five sets to overcome veteran American James Blake in the previous round and, after being stunned by Mayer in the second set, had to rally from 4-2 in the fourth to avoid going the distance again.
"Today, especially in the second set, I felt very confused with my game," Del Potro admitted.
"After that I improved a little bit but by the end I finished the match playing very good points."
Del Potro will face a seed for the first time in the fourth round where Marin Cilic awaits after he recovered from losing the first set to 19th seed Stanislas Wawrinka and win 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-3.
Fifth seed Andy Murray continued his march through the early rounds with a trouble-free 7-5 6-1 6-4 win over 64th-ranked Florent Serra.
Murray is yet to meet a player inside the top 50 and has coasted through the opening week.
"I'm happy to have won in three sets in all of the matches," he said,
"I'm happy to save as much energy as possible. Today was hot so it was nice to get off the court quickly."
Big-serving American John Isner upset 12th seed Gael Monfils 6-1 4-6 7-6 (7/4) 7-6 (7/5) and he will play Murray in the fourth round.
Isner joined countryman Andy Roddick in the last 16 after the former world number one came from a set down to edge a closely-fought match with Spain's Feliciano Lopez 6-7 (7/4) 6-4 6-4 7-6 (7/3).
Roddick's next match is against 11th seed Fernando Gonzalez, the 2007 runner-up, who needed five sets to beat Kazakhstan's Evgeny Korolev 6-7 (7/5) 6-3 1-6 6-3 6-4 in a match that lasted three hours and 42 minutes.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Dallas Cowboys are bringing in SMU defensive end Margus Hunt for a private workout.
#Cowboys had #SMU DE Margus Hunt in for a visit 2 weeks ago. Today, they'll work him out privately. That's a lot of time spent.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 10, 2013
Hunt recorded 8 sacks last season for SMU. He's currently projected to go in the second or third round of this month's draft.
Update: Hunt isn't participating in a private workout. He's attending the Cowboys' Dallas Day, which is a work out for local prospects.

All teen and kid member reviews for The Taste
Kids say
(out of 1 reviews)
age 12+
Review this title!
The Taste: Appetizing but average
THE TASTE has a very unique premise for a reality competition show, judging contestants' food just by one blind spoonful, and this is key to distinguish it from the modern cooking competition zeitgeist. However, despite the show being appetizing to watch, it is peppered by lots of elements that you've likely seen before on a cooking competition. Lots of swearing and iffy wording (especially from judge Anthony Bourdain), a boringly linear plot, and so on. THE TASTE is definitely one to savor in terms of food & flavor, but not even its tons of endorsements or its attractive women can bring out more to the show than what it offers.
What other families should know
Too much sex
Too much swearing
Too much consumerism
Too much drinking/drugs/smoking

Merge articles[edit]
I think that all the seprate homewood articles should be merged, like oakland and other places have.--Sonicobbsessed (talk) 23:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, there should probably be one "Homewood (Pittsburgh)" article with the three neighborhoods represented in them as different sections of the article (West Homewood, North Homewood, and South Homewood). Leepaxton (talk) 10:40, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Random B.S.[edit]
This may seem random, but being a white Pittsburgh resident, I wouldn't dare walk into Homewood. I wouldn't drive through without a good bit of fuel left and I wouldn't stop until I'm well out of the neighborhood. Many people have been shot there for being white. -The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 18:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC).
- Not only is it random, but it's really not true and likely based on views that are ignorant, paranoid and racist. I'm whiter than Wonder Bread, and I've been to Homewood a few times and haven't yet been shot. I'm not too worried about going there in the daylight, or really any neighborhood in Pittsburgh for that matter, and I think there are worse areas and neighborhoods out there than Homewood. And for the record, don't forget to sign your statements next time, jagoff. Leepaxton (talk) 10:40, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Added more content to the Homewood page[edit]
Revised the History- We believed that the history was under served. That being said we added more content, really focusing on how the demographics shifted over time.
Revised the geography- Provided more descriptive content to give a better location of Homewood Demographics- updated the demographic statistics from 2000 to 2010
Population- updated the population statistics from 2000 to 2010
Education- Provided a list of educational institutes in the Homewood area
Points of Interest- added a section on places Homewood is known for

Over at the New Yorker, there's a really interesting interview with cover designer Peter Mendelsund, whose new book, What We See When We Read, sounds amazing:
A gorgeously unique, fully illustrated exploration into the phenomenology of reading—how we visualize images from reading works of literature, from one of our very best book jacket designers, himself a passionate reader.
What do we see when we read? Did Tolstoy really describe Anna Karenina? Did Melville ever really tell us what, exactly, Ishmael looked like? The collection of fragmented images on a page—a graceful ear there, a stray curl, a hat positioned just so—and other clues and signifiers helps us to create an image of a character. But in fact our sense that we know a character intimately has little to do with our ability to concretely picture our beloved—or reviled—literary figures. In this remarkable work of nonfiction, Knopf's Associate Art Director Peter Mendelsund combines his profession, as an award-winning designer; his first career, as a classically trained pianist; and his first love, literature—he considers himself first and foremost as a reader—into what is sure to be one of the most provocative and unusual investigations into how we understand the act of reading.
I can't wait to get my hands on this, and I'm sure I'll write something up about it after I have a chance to read it, but the part of the New Yorker interview that I really wanted to share is this part about the forthcoming new editions of Calvino's books:
You're in the middle of repackaging the work of the Italian writer Italo Calvino. Can you tell me how that project came to you?
A year or so ago I received an e-mail from Giovanna Calvino, who is Calvino's daughter, and she said that she had read, in an interview I gave somewhere, that I loved her father's work, that she was working with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to repackage the backlist, and would I be interested in doing it? I can't tell you what a shock it was to have the name Calvino in my inbox. Obviously I jumped at the chance to work on these. So then I did what I always do when designing a backlist series: I started to reread all of the books. This is, by far, the most fun part of these kinds of projects—the reacquainting oneself with not just some of the work but all of it. But finding images that could represent all of these books, and make them work as a series, is a particularly tricky problem, because there are three distinct stages to Calvino's writing: a realist phase, a fantastical phase, and a kind of semiotic or metafictional phase. So it was a challenge, but a really fun one.
I'd been working on my monograph, "Cover," which is primarily photos of my book covers, and I wondered if it would be meta, in a way very appropriate for Calvino, if each of his books featured a photo of a book on it. The first idea that came to me was completely absurdist in a way that I imagine Calvino would have loved—to photograph each of the old editions of Calvino and frame them, so that you'd have a sort of catalogue of old Calvino books. Then it occurred to me: If we're going to take photos of Calvino books, wouldn't it be better if we made Calvino books that don't exist? The next stage was designing imaginary Calvino books. "The Path to the Spider's Nest" was going to be a kind of young-adult pulp book; "The Baron in the Trees" an old, eighteenth-century-style Italian cloth-wrapped, foil-stamped book; "Cosmicomics" a comic book. I could make them not just books but written artifacts of various kinds—"Six Memos for the Next Millennium" could be literally memos. We would make one copy of each book and photograph it for each cover. I don't normally collaborate, but there's a wonderful designer, Oliver Munday, who is also interested in Calvino, and we worked together on this project.
What came next?
At the beginning of "If on a Winter's Night a Traveller," the narrator is addressing the reader in the second person, and he tells you that you see the steam from a locomotive go over the opening paragraph of the book. I loved the idea of the text itself interacting with specific imagery, and I thought maybe it would be interesting if I actually set the opening paragraph of each book on the cover, with an illustration intermingling with it. "The Baron in the Trees" would have the branches weaving through the words.
But somehow I worried that they wouldn't sell the book properly—that they might be too visually busy to be viscerally affecting. So I started thinking about doing illustrations of abstract shapes that by themselves don't necessarily have a ton of meaning, and on each one drawing a line or two that would add to that meaning, or bring it into focus. I made a tree-like thing that was just a blob, then inserted a little sword into it, like a sword a child might draw, which becomes a tree trunk. This seemed to work. I made some more of them. They have a kind of Calder-like feeling. I like their seeming naïveté.
And these were chosen for the finished covers, correct?
Yes, but in the middle of that I had this crazy revelation of how I thought these books should be, a kind of bolt from the blue, while I was on the subway. I just had this crystalline vision of the whole series. The covers would be all type, and each one would have a description of an imaginary book jacket on it, each one written by a different author. We would get a bunch of great writers I know who are huge Calvino fans to write them. The jackets would be ekphrastic. Everything would have to be imagined by the reader. No actual imagery on the covers. Robin Desser, an editor here at Knopf, said it was the most Calvino-esque idea she'd ever heard.
In the end I showed Giovanna all three ideas—the photographs, the illustrations, and the ekphrastic direction—and she liked them, and her mother, Calvino's widow, agreed to the all-type direction. But then there were some objections that they would be hard to see as thumbnails on Amazon. I think honestly the publisher was looking for something a little poppier and user-friendly. In the end I was happy enough with any of these directions that it didn't really matter to me, though I still think that the all-type thing was one of those once-in-a-lifetime ideas. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have Calvino himself write those descriptions. But I'm happy with the finals, and I think they will really stand out on a shelf.
Calvino is an all-time favorite of mine, and these reissues are a perfect opportunity to reread him and write up a bunch of stuff for Three Percent . . . The first three books — Into the War, Collection of Sand, and The Complete Cosmicomics — come out this fall, and we'll post more info about them then.
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .

Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .

It took reading 44 pages of Intervenir/Intervene before I began to get a sense of what Dolores Dorantes and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez were up to. Recurring throughout these 44 pages—throughout the entire book—are shovels, shovel smacks to the face, lobelias—aha!. . .

Five Days in Paris
A Novel
In Danielle Steel's beloved #1 New York Times bestselling novel, two strangers meet unexpectedly and fall in love in the City of Light.
As president of a major pharmaceutical empire, Peter Haskell has everything: power, position, and a family that means everything to him. Compromise has been key in Peter Haskell's life, and integrity is the base on which he lives. Olivia Thatcher is the wife of a famous senator. She has given to her husband's ambition and career until her soul is bone-dry. She is trapped in a web of duty and obligation, married to a man she once loved and no longer even knows.
Accidentally, they meet in Paris. Their totally different lives converge for one magical moment in the Place Vendôme, as Olivia carefully, silently, steps out of her life and walks away. Peter follows her, and in a café in Montmartre, their hearts are laid bare. Peter, once so certain of his path, is suddenly faced with a professional future in jeopardy. Olivia is no longer sure of anything except that she can't go on anymore.
Five days in Paris is all they have. They go back to their separate lives, but nothing is the same. Everything they believe is put on the line, until they each realize they must stand fast against compromise and face life's challenges head-on.
Danielle Steel's classic novel is about honor and commitment, love and integrity—and the strength to find hope again. Five Days in Paris will change your life forever.
The weather in Paris was unusually warm as Peter Haskell's plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport. The plane taxied neatly to the gate, and a few minutes later, briefcase in hand, Peter was striding through the airport. He was almost smiling as he got on the customs line, despite the...

Thanks for helping!
This was a beautiful spot to park your car while getting to Mainau Island by boat. Afterwards pick a cosy restaurant for lunch.
Great to walk around here and looked at the architecture and the frescoes and ornate doorways.
Lots of shops, cafes, and even a great little market. Loved the people watching.
All though it might be very crowded with tourist, this place is just beautiful. If you start heading north you can also get away from the touristy area and find great hidden paths with unique shops.
Beautiful buildings and small streets. On Saturdays it can be very crowded (and not that pleasant). You can visit the Cathedral and if the weather is nice you can enjoy the view from the top. You may want to have lunch/dinner in one of the restaurants or just take an ice cream and walk around. Check for the photo or...
Another visit to Constance: Still one of our favourite town in good old Germany. Well, it seemed to be invaded by tousands of Swiss people ...
We stayed in the old town. There are cobblestone streets with very old quirky houses. Lots of places to eat and drink and watch the world go by. It's very close to buses, trains and boats. A must when in Konstanz
If you are into old European buildings, there is plenty of old charm to keep you occupied here.
The paintings and detail are amazing on numerous buildings.
Make sure to keep your eyes up, as we almost missed one or two.
By far Konstanz has the best old buildings in Europe. They were never destroyed during WW1 or 2 as its very close to Switzerland and the all war parties never bombed the Swiss due to thei neutrality (Konstanz turned on their city lights at night same as their Swiss neighboring towns, so as no one bombs them). Because of that...
Our family spent a couple hours sight seeing in the old town. It is well worth the time. Old buildings dating back to the 1200s. Lots of nice shops, cafés, and restaurants. We really enjoyed it and will go back and do it again. Staying at a hotel in the old town is well worth considering. Parking appears to be...
It is a misnomer to call this an Old Town. It is actually just a pedestrian area with loads of shops, cafes, restaurants and a couple of churches. There is really nothing 'óld' about it. It is good for a stroll, some nice shops, and very good vegi restaurants and cafes.

We are living in unusual times. The Open Championship returns to an institution that does not permit women members, and a 77-year-old golfing icon poses naked for a magazine. The latter was unthinkable when Gary Player won his first Open at Muirfield in 1959, the former unthinkable now.
The world continues to recoil at the comments of BBC presenter John Inverdale, who dismissed Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli on the basis of her looks. It was a monstrously offensive regression that identified him as man deeply out of step with the times, and therefore, you might argue, an ideal candidate for Muirfield membership.
Player's flirtation with nudity, as the oldest of 20 sporting figures posing in the buff for ESPN's annual "body issue", is a marvellous touch of eccentricity which encourages us to look differently on the grey community. There is life after the bus pass, clearly.
In one shot the old boy mimics Atlas, hoisting aloft a giant golf ball. In another he holds that distinctive follow-through as if he were 21 again. At that we can smile.
Muirfield's position is as potentially damaging to golf's reputation as Inverdale's was for his. Golf's ruling body, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, are sensitive to the delicate position in which they find themselves re Muirfield, a classic course with a long Open history, and talk optimistically about something called "the direction of travel" in society. In other words the R&A are hoping that Muirfield sorts itself out before the Open rotation comes around again. It is hard to see how the award of the oldest major in golf can be bestowed on Muirfield a 17th time should the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers continue in their antique attitudes towards women members.
Defending champion Ernie Els has a profound attachment to the old place, as well he might having won his first Open Championship there 11 years ago. Yet even he is incredulous at the female bar.
"It's going to be an issue. It's weird, isn't it? We've got presidents, prime ministers, who are women. Should The Open be there? All I can say is it is weird in this day and age but it is what it is. We are sportsmen. If you put a hole down on the M25 we'd go and play. You guys judge. But it is weird."
Muirfield has escaped relatively lightly thus far in a summer of sporting goodies. But the world is on its way and is not for turning. Let's see how honourable those gentlemen feel after a week in the Inverdale stocks. They act within the law but that might not be enough to spare them.
About the course there are only good things to say. Merionesque in its commitment to precision over length, Muirfield presents a more traditional test. This is not a links of blind shots over intrusive dunes but one of long grass and wind. The looped layout, with its outer clockwise flow of the front nine encircling a back nine that runs against the clock, ensures the wind is encountered from every direction. Six new tee boxes have been added to vary the challenge, and new bunkers introduced to snare the overambitious or wayward. Four par-fours under 400 yards offer genuine risk and reward if conditions are fair. If not, this place is as hostile as a course can be. Witness how Colin Montgomerie followed 64 in 2002 with an 84 in the tempest 24 hours later.
Tiger Woods went 81, 65 across that weekend, which brings us to the great theme of the age. When might Woods snap back into major mode in pursuit of the magic 18 held by Jack Nicklaus? His 14th major triumph came five years ago. Hell and high water have washed over him since Torrey Pines but he is out the other side now. This year bad luck robbed him at the Masters, injury at the US Open.
His four wins this year, including the Players Championship, point to a happy ending soon. If the left elbow has recovered and the weather does not lob in a climatic curve ball, Muirfield could just be it.
There is more going for that line of thought than any argument championing Rory McIlroy's cause. McIlroy came within an ace of playing the Scottish Open this week. That shows the pickle he is in.
McIlroy's ills are rooted in the driver, the key to his game and his confidence. Golf is a quirky business. McIlroy will inevitably find the cure, and when he does the world will once more fall at his feet. But none can say when.
And what of the defending champion? Els showed his class by winning in Germany last month. His victory at Royal Lytham a year ago was part inherited, part ripped from Adam Scott's grasp, completing the back nine on Sunday in four under par. That is how you win a major.
At 43, he is no less a prospect than when he last won here via a play-off 11 years ago. "It is great to play on the classic courses," he said. "You always get classic winners. Look at Justin [Rose]: beautiful technique, an old-style player. I see that continuing in Scotland. Merion was set up properly, enticing you into mistakes. It will be the same at Muirfield."
Els returned three weeks ago for an early peek. Inevitably the memories of 2002 flooded back. "The first hole still looks so daunting. Just grass everywhere, with a narrow strip of fairway. It has not really changed, a bit more length. Some shots came back to me, like 16, where I pulled it left, and 13, of course. The bunker shot at 13 I didn't replay.
"I somehow got out of it. It was the best escape shot of my career, a get out of jail shot if ever there was one. I don't know how I survived that one. A lot of very fortunate things happened to me that day."
Five to watch
Justin Rose
England's first US Open champion for 43 years has unfinished business at this event. Maybe Muirfield will be the place he converts on the promise of that chip-in for fourth as a 17-year-old at Birkdale.
Tiger Woods
Still looking for major No 15 five years after winning his last. Injury subdued him at the US Open, bad luck at the Masters. Will take some stopping if he can tap into early-season form.
Phil Mickelson
Ripped it up on the opening day at the Scottish Open, led every round bar the last at Merion, loves the links challenge and can play in all weathers. Sounds like a winner?
Matteo Manassero
The thinking man's golfer. Showed at Wentworth he can handle the pressure at a big tournament, claiming his fourth tour title in a play-off. Muirfield is made for his scalpel round the greens.
Rory McIlroy
No form to speak of. Yet to win this year. His game is in there somewhere and when he finds it he will win big again. Needs a bit of luck more than anything, and his driver to work.Reuse content

Develop a runtime engine for Windows that renders Apple Quartz Composer documents
- Status Closed
- Budget £750 - £1500 GBP
- Total Bids 4
Project Description
Apple Quartz Composer is a Mac-based development environment whereby data is passed between patches, processed, and ends up being rendered as OpenGL graphics. However, whilst the format is highly supported on Mac OS X, there is no way to replay these "compositions" on Microsoft Windows platforms. To perform a "QTZ" composition, the playback system must read a highly-structred XML file, create instances of each patch (a collection of approx 20 or 30 standard classes), create connections between these objects, and begin rendering into an OpenGL context, handling a regular rendering timer, passing data between the patches and ensuring the OpenGL state doesn't get corrupt.
The Apple Quartz Composer source code is proprietary and closed, however the format of the QTZ compositions is very open, and is easily reverse-engineered. I have already got a considerable amount of work completed in this respect, and I will provide a detailed specification to help the developer flesh out this work, should the bid be successful. I need a talented OpenGL Windows developer who is willing to take up the challenge of implementing a subset of Quartz Composer playback functionality in a Windows app, and am looking to solicit bids on this sort of work.
I should state that at this stage the project is not definitely going ahead, however the outcome of the bidding process will strongly influence it's success, and this is the reason I am opening this for bids on this web site.
Please provide examples of previous work and demonstrate you are capable of the job, as well as providing a estimate of cost. I will not consider any freelancer who does not offer any evidence of their capabilities.
Many thanks and I look forward to receiving your bids.

I recently ran into a similar problem. In my case I ran "mvn clean" on modules, which downloaded the latest xmlbeans plugin but it did not update its dependencies!!! One could say it does not need them to perform clean operation. Later when j2ee-builder was being built, I got the error you mentioned. I deleted xmlbeans plugin from .m2 repo and built using "mvn" from geronoimo-j2ee-builder (or modules) directory. This time the plugin and all its dependencies were downloaded and the build was successful. So if a plugin is downloaded/updated during mvn clean, its dependencies may not be the latest. It's a maven thing... Thanks Anita ____________________________________________________________________________________ Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.

Prudence Brewster (Peck)

About Prudence Brewster
William Brewster died in 1590, his relict was Prudence.
He married first Mary, the daughter of William Smythe of Stainforth, Hatfield, sister of John Smyth, alderman of Hull and widow of John Simkinson of Doncaster.
He married second to Prudence, who may have been Prudence Perkins or the widow of a man named Perkins.
Children of William Brewster and Prudence Unknown:
- James Brewster died in 1613. He matriculated at Cambridge in 1582 and succeeded his uncle Henry as vicar at Sutton on Lound.
- Prudence Brewster possibly married Robert Peck of Everton, Nottinghamshire. Their children Robert and Anne were the wards of their supposed uncle William.
- John Brewster.
Prudence Brewster born say 1567 probably in Scrooby and probably died before 1609 in Everton, Nottinghamshire, England when two of her children were wards to William Brewster (see below). She married Robert Pecke whose will was dated 1598 in Everton, Nottinghamshire, England. He possibly had a second wife named Jun Jenyver if he was the man of the same name who married in 15 Jun 1589 in Loude, three miles from Scrooby. It is unclear which children were from which wife but in his will he names: Robert the eldest, Ann, Prudence, William, Thomas and George. His children Robert Peck and Prudence Pecke were wards of their supposed uncle William Brewster at Ledyen.[1]
The will of Robert Pecke of Everton, Nottinghamshire, England (2 miles north of Loude) dated and proved in 1598 states:
- "I Robert Pecke of Everton, husbandman,... my body to buried in the churchyard of Everton... I give the poor of Everton 3/4. I give William Pecke my son 7/6/8. I give George Pecke, my son , the same. I give Ann Pecke my daughter the same. I give Thomas Hodgson 10/- bequeathed to my mother. I give Thomas Sympson half a rood of Rye. I give Hercules Moore 12d. I give Robert Pecke my eldest son a couple of black stears. I give Prudence my wife and Robert my son all residue and make them executors. I make Richard Perkin guardian of my son Robert during his minority.
- Witness Anthony Phan, clerke, Richard Harrison, and William Fletcher".[1]
Prudence (Brester) Pecke was obviously still living in 1598. However, she must have died by 1609 for Elder William Brewster, aged about forty-two years, came before the aldermen at Leiden, Holland on 12 June 1609, as guardian of Ann PECK, native of Launde, when they granted to Thomas Simkinson, merchant of Hull (son of John Simkinson and Mary Smythe and half-brother of Elder William BREWSTER), Power of Attorney to receive seven pounds sterling that Ann Pecke had left with Rev. William Watkin, pastor of Clarborough when she left England.[1] The register of St. Pancras church, Leyden, records the burial on Saturday, 20 June 1609, of a child of William BREWSTER. The age and sex of the child are not specified. It might be reasonable to assume that the "child of William BREWSTER" who was buried, 20 June 1609, was Prudence (Brewster) Pecke, daughter of William Brewster and wife of Robert Pecke, since her brother, Elder William Brewster appeared in court eight days earlier as guardian of Prudence's minor daughter, Ann Pecke. That would suggest the widow Prudence (Brewster) Peck accompanied her surviving children, Robert & Ann, to Leyden; that she was taken ill, so William arranged for the transfer of Ann Peck's inheritance. In 1610 William Brewster's wife Mary was living in Leiden with two wards Anne and Robert Pecke.[1][2] The Pilgrim Records in the Archives of the City of Leiden, The Netherlands contain the following entry "9 Dec 1616 Jan Spoenaert, lintier, nit Engelant, wedr. van Sussanna Benijt verger, van Samuel Leee met Anna Peck, jd. nit Engelant, verges. met Lisbeth." which apparently translates to: "9 Dec 1616. John Spooner, linen-worker from England, widower of Susanna Bennet, accompanied by Samuel Lee, [is married] with Anna Peck, young woman from England, accompanied by Elizabeth Spalding her acquaintance." Some have interpreted linen-worker as ribbon maker which is a line of work Jonathan Brewster was in for a period in Leiden.[3][4] John Spooner was at the time residing at the Douver House, a local house for bachelors in Leiden (the Douver House still exists today). John Spooner died 6 Jul 1628 in Leiden.[4] In 22 Jan 1630 Ann Peck of Leyden was witness to the marriage of Henry Parkgus and Margaret Woodwek. In 1637 an Ann Spooner joined the Salem Church with a Thomas Spooner. Thomas Spooner had a wife Elizabeth.[5] Savage lists Ann as a first wife of Thomas but the original records give no evidence that she was his wife. It is possibly that Ann Spooner was Ann (Brewster) Spooner widow of John Spooner of Leyden and step-mother or mother of Thomas Spooner. A William Spooner also arrived in 1637 in Plymouth as an indentured servent. This may imply that he was still a minor and possibly a second child of this family.[6] However, the identity of Ann Spooner of Salem is not yet conclusive.

I'm happy because Mekong is the shade I have been looking for. But I'll definitely buy all these suggested eye-shadows. I'm going to tell my colleague at custom writing about these shades and I think she will chose Night Clubbing.
Truly, this article is really one of the very best in the history of articles. I am a antique 'Article' collector and I sometimes read some new articles if I find them interesting.

In January, 1975, when she was 42, Lady Antonia Fraser, a Catholic mother of six, went to a dinner party. At the time she was, if not happily married, then "happy in [her] marriage" and had never envisaged divorce.
At that dinner party was 46-year old Harold Pinter, also married, but unhappily. The party was to celebrate opening night of Pinter's The Birthday Party, and just before Fraser was to leave the party, she went over to say good-bye to the playwright. While the friends who were to drive her home waited by the front door, she congratulated the playwright, who looked at her and said "must you go?"
Her journal records what went through her mind: "home, my [waiting friends], taking the children to school the next morning, the exhausting past night [traveling]," and a new writing project. But did she leave? She did not. In fact, Pinter gave her a ride home (they didn't leave the party until 2:30 in the morning) and they stayed awake talking until dawn.
That dinner party changed their lives: by August 1975 they were living together, in the midst of rather publicly nasty divorces from their respective spouses; and although they did not immediately get married, they were together for almost 34 years, until Pinter died in 2008. The author and historian's book takes its title from Pinter's question that first night and, of course, her despair at the moment of his death from esophageal cancer.
Reading the story in Must You Go?: My Life with Harold Pinter, which is told through Fraser's journal and diary entries, is like being a guest at the most scintillating dinner party you can imagine. Here is Antonia watching as Harold plays cricket with Tom Stoppard; here they are with Edna O'Brien and Jude Law; there they are chatting with John Fowles and Jeremy Irons during the filming of The French Lieutenant's Woman; here they are having tea with Samuel Beckett; there they are having dinner with Mike Nichols, with whom, she says, both she and Harold "fall platonically in love."
As improbable as it might seem — and Fraser admits that it is hard to imagine — the Pinter-Fraser story is about love at first sight, about meeting one's soul mate, however inopportunely, and knowing that it is inevitable that you will be together. It is also about two writers — Fraser is an award-winning biographer, and Pinter is, of course, a Nobel-prize winning playwright and screenwriter. She says that some of her notes about Pinter are like the notes of a biographer watching an artist's process; she marvels at how a small moment or an image might root itself in his mind but not emerge into dramatic form until years later.
Fraser's journals also record the occasional tensions experienced by a writer who is also a mother. She tells us about a married woman who wrote her seeking advice about being a writer — her advice is that any woman who wants to write must "be a very, very selfish person." Thinking back on that advice, Fraser speculates that "households, hitherto peaceful, are being widely disrupted where the wife has taken my advice." Pinter's support for Fraser's work never wavers; he encourages the "selfishness" of spending hours and hours at one's desk. They read one another's work, although she points out, at one point, when he is less than complimentary about an initial draft that "like everyone who asks their nearest and dearest for a candid opinion, I didn't actually want that candid an opinion."
The book is funny and, as you'd expect, amazingly articulate. It is also, in the final section, incredibly moving. Pinter is diagnosed with first one disease and then another—it looks like he has recovered and then the doctors discover the esophageal cancer that will eventually kill him. It is during this final decline that he is awarded the Nobel Prize, but he is too ill to travel to Sweden to be awarded the prize. He writes a speech nevertheless — brilliant, incisive, witty, devastating — and records it in an English television studio for broadcast at the ceremony.
Pinter died on Christmas Eve, 2008. Must You Go? ends with his death, and while we, like Fraser, have known the death was coming, the ending is still a jolt. We're used to books about "famous people" that give us the glittery funerals, the eulogies, the lamentations. This book gives us none of that and is the stronger for it.
Even if you haven't seen or read Pinter's plays or haven't any of Fraser's biographies, having this window onto their marriage felt like a wonderful gift. Not only because it showed me the inner workings of a man thought to be the premier dramatist of the late 20th century, but also — and maybe even more importantly — it showed me that middle-aged passion can exist, and that true love can, in fact, result in "happily ever after."Powered by Sidelines

My Brilliant Career II (again, with apologies to Miles Franklin, author of the real book My Brilliant Career)
I emerged from my broken marriage with dashed hopes and a shattered heart, but I had no time to sit around and feel sorry for myself. My ex-husband had promised me that I�d never see a penny of his money, so I had to find a way to support the household. I had been delivering newspapers in the wee hours of the morning to add the family�s income, but it didn�t pay enough to cover all our expenses, and besides, I needed to change my schedule so that I�d be working while my young daughters were in school.
I started putting out feelers in boat yards and marinas to see if I could find a job in the line of work that I was born into and educated in. My father had been a commercial fisherman and built boats in the back yard and I had a vocational certificate in Marine Repair and two years experience in a well-known boat yard. I was soon hired by a newly opened boat yard that was owned by Ollie Johansson. (Names have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty.) He was just a few years older than I was and his expertise was in yacht racing. He knew painfully little about actually working on boats and he seemed to be a little short on gray matter, as well.
I was hired as a �finisher� which meant I painted and varnished the boats. Ollie started out giving me detailed instructions as to how he wanted each job done, but there were times when I knew what he was asking me was just plain wrong and even detrimental to the boat. I�d have to tell him that why it wouldn�t work. We�d argue back and forth a bit, but Ollie was my boss, so in the end, he�d insist and I�d have to do it his way. After he saw the results of �his way� a few times, he relented and then he�d just tell me the end result he wanted and let me get there on my own.
I think his wake up call came when he wanted me to caulk the seams on a sailboat that just happened to belong to my insurance man. Ollie wanted me to use a hard caulking, but because this was a wooden boat, I knew that when the boat hit the water and the planks began to swell, the hard caulking would pop out and then the seams would be wide open and the boat would probably sink. I patiently explained why I should use a soft caulking, but Ollie would have none of it. So, I did as I was told. A day or so later, I had an appointment with my insurance man and he cheerfully asked how his boat was. I cringed and blurted out the whole story about the caulking and told him what was likely to happen. He just laughed and waved it off. The next week I received a phone call from my insurance man, still as good natured as ever; �I just wanted to tell you that you were right! My boat sank!� There are some times when I don�t want to be right. �Oh, I am SO SORRY!� I apologized. �That�s alright!� He chuckled, � It sank at the dock and I instructed Ollie to let you fix it right!�
Ollie wasn�t the only one at that boat shop who had less than professional ideas about how work should be done. Several times, I�d be working on a boat that was up on blocks in the yard and while I was busy, I�d hear scuffling under the boat and think nothing of it. Until I moved and the boat would tip over because an idiot had stolen some of the blocks to block up another boat! Once I was aware of what was going on, I�d listen for sounds under the boat and spring up like a jack-in-the-box when I heard the scraping of the blocks being dragged out from beneath the hull and I�d yell; �HEY! PUT THOSE BACK!� And the culprit would sheepishly return the purloined blocks to their original positions.
Once, Ollie gave a broken wooden boat part to an employee and told him to make another one �just like it�.... so the guy made another one just like it.... broken exactly the same way. Another guy was doing fiberglass work and accidentally sat in a puddle of wet resin. Despite that he was warned that he should change his pants, he ignored the advice. You guessed it. The resin dried and his pants were fiberglassed to his butt. I never found out how he got his pants off; he never came back to work.
Ollie had a maddening habit of mulling everything over as though his life depended on it. When I�d finish a job, I�d ask him what he wanted me to work on next and he�d stand there; �Errrrr.... ahhhh.... ummm .... well..... hmmmm.... let�s see.....� for quite some time. He was so famous for this that when he went on vacation and his foreman was running things, I approached his foreman for instructions and he outright admitted that he wasn�t sure it was his place to decide which boat was next. �Well,� I said, � Since Ollie isn�t here and I need someone to decide, pretend that you�re Ollie.� The foreman�s eyebrows went up, but he was agreeable; �Okay! Errrrr..... ahhhh.... ummm.... �
One day, Ollie sent me to work on a customer�s yacht that was being stored at a big marina. I was sanding and re-varnishing the bright work, a job that would take several days. While I was working on the boat, Ollie showed up and arranged to have the boat launched while I was still onboard. It was almost the end of the day, so Ollie hung around and at five o�clock, he stood on top of the fixed dock, called a bulkhead, where the yacht was tied up and announced; � It�s time to go home now!� I had been so immersed in my work that I hadn�t noticed that the tide had gone out and now the top of the bulkhead was about two feet higher than the top of my head. �Okay.� I said to Ollie; �so how do I get off this thing?� �Jump.� Ollie replied. I looked around. Even an Olympic athlete couldn�t make that leap. �Ollie,� I began, �There�s no way I�m going to make that jump and it�s April so it�s too cold to go swimming,� if I didn�t succeed that�s what I�d be doing, �so think of something else!� Ollie assured me that it was an easy jump and I was just as sure that unless I sprouted wings and was able to fly up, I�d never make it. We bandied �Jump!� �No!� �Jump!� �No!� for a short time and finally I firmly stated: �Ollie! The bulkhead is about 7 feet straight up! If I miss, I�m in the water and I�m not in the mood to go swimming!!!� Ollie relented and squatted down, holding his arms out over the water; �Oh, alright. I�ll catch you.� I was incredulous. �What?!� �Come on,� Ollie motioned me forward, �Just stand on that stanchion and jump to that ledge and I�ll catch you and pull you up.� I looked at the stanchion (for non-boaters, stanchions are the poles that hold up the rope rail around the deck of a boat) and gave it an experimental shake to see how sturdy it was. It wasn�t. The ledge was about five feet up and not more than an inch wide, but about two feet below the top of the bulkhead. At this point, I figured we were both going swimming, because with Ollie leaned out over the water like that, I was sure my weight would pull him off balance and down we�d go. But, what the heck! If Ollie was game, I was game! I placed one foot on the stanchion and pushed off for the inch wide ledge. I had no sooner hit the ledge when Ollie grabbed me and some how managed to pull me up as though I were no more than a sack of potatoes.
My last fond memory of my two years with Ollie was the day I had been painting boat bottoms. I had completed five boats, so I was covered with five different color paints, and I�d been crawling and laying in the mud and sawdust under boats all day. This meant that I wasn�t exactly looking my best, so I wasn�t thrilled when Ollie asked me to run an errand for him and take a package to a UPS shop to be shipped out. I walked into the UPS office and saw the clerk�s mouth drop open. She was an attractive blond with nice slacks and a frilly white blouse and I was wearing several layers of my worse clothes, liberally splashed with a wide variety of paint colors, and caked with mud and saw dust. The clerk gasped; �Oh, MY!!! You�ve.... you�ve..... you�ve certainly.... been doing... been doing.... SOMETHING!�
She was right- I�d certainly been doing something.
Ollie�s reputation grew to the point where years after I�d left Ollie�s employ, I met a new neighbor and we found that we both worked on boats, so I asked him whom he worked for. He said, �I�ve been at Ollie Johansson�s Boat Yard for about three weeks.� An involuntary giggle escaped me. My neighbor looked perplexed; �Why does everyone laugh when I tell them where I work?!� He soon discovered why.
I moved on to working for a more professional boat yard, but that job also only lasted a few years. Boat yards and marinas had been suffering through years of hard times that meant frequent lay-offs for the employees and I had been doing odd jobs like working as an assistant pressman, in restaurants, and getting my own jobs cleaning houses or working on boats in between. The self �employment turned out to be more lucrative than working for other people, so I started a business maintaining fisherman�s fishing gear, filling in the slow periods with painting boats and houses to stay busy. This worked out very well because I could make my own schedule and enjoy as much time as possible with my rapidly growing daughters. But, maintaining fishing gear was hard, tedious, wet, heavy work. One day I was walking back to my truck from the fish pier after a long day�s work and I was, as usual, dressed in my worst clothing, covered with fish slime and gore and a tourist couple stopped me and asked if I worked there. I was stunned that they would ask such a question. What other excuse could I possible have for looking this way? Did they think that Cape Cod was like many other tourist sites with characters walking around in costume for their benefit? They took my silence as a sign that I hadn�t heard them, so the lady asked me again; �Do you work here?� �Yes.� I replied. �Well, � she continued, �I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of fish they had in those boxes down there.� She pointed a manicured finger down the hill toward the fish pier. I shrugged, �I don�t know. What did they look like?� (Lots of different kinds of fish were brought in.) She described the fish and I told her that they sounded like cod. �Oh,� She looked surprised, �I thought they might be tuna!� I was about to tell her that tuna that caught around here were big fish, too big to be in totes, when her husband piped up; �There�s no tuna here! They�re only on the West Coast!� I laughed, thinking of all my tuna fisherman friends, �Well if that�s true, there�s going to be a lot of disappointed tuna fisherman!�
Because I grew up in this area, many of the fishermen I worked with were old friends I�d known most of my life. Every time the morning news on the radio would announce that a boat had gone down, I�d be on pins and needles until I found out that everyone I knew was safe. But, although commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, few fishermen waste time thinking about that fact. They were a lively, funny bunch and they enjoyed a good laugh as much as anyone. One day, I ran into an old school mate who was now captaining his own boat, as he and his crew were just coming in from a fishing trip. My friend and one of the crew were snickering, so I asked; �What�s so funny?� This elicited more guffaws but the story gradually came out. They had been out tub-trawling (long-lining) and had just made a haul, so they were culling and gutting the pile of fish that lay on the deck. One of the crew-, the one who hadn�t been laughing, was standing astride the pile, which had a big female monkfish on the top. Monkfish are a species of angler fish and they are mostly a big mouth full of rows of teeth that all angle backward and a tail. The females grow to about four feet long; the males are smaller- about half that size. This female monkfish was fully grown and she apparently didn�t like the predicament she found herself in, so to show her displeasure she chomped down on the closest thing- which was the crotch of the man standing over her. Luckily for the crewman, he was wearing baggy oil skins over his clothes, so all she got was a mouth full of rubber, but because her teeth angled back, she was hooked and the crewman couldn�t shake her off. So he turned to his buddies for assistance and said; �Guys....� thinking that they would be suitably alarmed by the gravity of his situation and run over to help him. But, no- they turned around and took in the scene and immediately started : HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! They did eventually rescue their friend, but they were still laughing � except the crewman whose oil skins were ruined � even after they hit the dock.
By the time I was in my late 30�s, I was getting really burned out on doing very physical work and I was keeping my eye out for something more sedentary that would be easier on my aching joints and muscles. Jobs were few and far between, but I finally landed one in a shipping department for a local business. The joke was on me, though. Little did I know that 90% of what was shipped out was cut slate- ROCKS! So, now I was spending my days carrying around boxes of rocks! Oh well, it was still a step up in the world. I was warm, clean and dry and the rocks were lighter than the loads I was used to carrying. The owners of the company were very good to me and I was eventually promoted to shipping manager. I would have been happy to stay there indefinitely, but then another job opened up at a marina.... that�s another chapter.

My Brilliant Career (with apologies to Miles Franklin, author of the real book My Brilliant Career)
Some of you may recall from past blogs that I have a commercial fishing / boating back ground. It is slightly unusual for a woman, especially since I am only five foot tall, therefore, not a large woman, but my father was a commercial fisherman, a sea scalloper, and then became a charter boat captain, so it seemed I was fated to be drawn to boats and the ocean.
But, it wasn�t always part of my plans. As a very little girl, I had dreams of becoming a ballerina. However, regrettably, I was and always will be rather clumsy. It is not an accident that my Chinese Zodiac symbol is the Ox. (You know the old saw: Clumsy as an ox.) Consequently, people tended to laugh when I would don the pink tutu that my mother had sewn for me and I would � to my mind- be gracefully wafting around the living room, executing leaps and twirls. But, reality was very different. No ballet career for me.
Then, at about the age of four or five, I decided I wanted to be a hill billy. I had seen some Ma and Pa Kettle movies that inspired me and I thought that they had life by the tail. I even owned an old, droopy felt hat that Jed Clampett would be proud of.
But, the insidious call of the sea was a Siren�s song. My Dad started building a small sail boat in the back yard and I would hang around and �help� him. When the boat was completed, the whole family often enjoyed a sail in it on Cape Cod Bay.
At the age of eight, I was drafted to crew for my Dad on his sea scalloper, where I helped cull �the pile� which was the contents of the scallop drag after it had been towed behind the boat, like a reluctant child being dragged through a store by it�s parent. After each tow, we would pick through everything that had been dumped out of the drag, tossing aside sand dollars and sea urchins, seaweed and rocks; get rid of the toothsome monk fish by gaffing them overboard, or at times, sticking a shovel in it�s mouth and letting it clamp down on the shovel, after which you could simply shovel it overboard; place the flounder, crabs and lobster in a tote for future meals at home, and lastly, the scallops went into the shucking box, where we separated the meat from the shell. That was the only part of the catch that we sold. It was a wet, fishy job, with long hours, but I didn�t mind.
I considered myself quite lucky that I had many adults around me who didn�t mind letting me watch or assist them work on boats or sit in as they told stories about nautical life. My Dad was particularly patient about teaching me things; he not only taught me about boats and commercial fishing, but he instructed me on how to run most of the equipment in his woodshop, how to carve and how to splice. He also bravely taught me how to drive his 1954 International pick up when I was eleven years old. (That�s a story in itself!)
I had hoped that someday I would meet Mr. Right and get married and have a family (June Cleaver was now my mentor) but I had a feeling that I would need all these skills that I had learned and that I�d never be a June Cleaver. So, I went to vocational school and graduated with a diploma and a certificate in Marine Repair. To earn the certificate, I had to be able to design, loft and build a boat from raw lumber. I also had to take a welding class. I didn�t do much welding. The welding teacher was laboring under the mistaken notion that he was teaching a �Coffee Break� class, because that�s chiefly what he did- hand out coffee and doughnuts.
After I graduated, I went job hunting. This was only shortly after the dinosaurs� reign, and not long after the term �Women�s Lib� was coined, so I had some amusing reactions to my requests for a job. �But you�re a girl!� was the most common. I refrained from commenting on the obviousness of that remark and kept up my quest.
I was finally hired by a very old boat yard that was owned by a local family. I loved the job and the family was wonderful to me. The owner kept telling me that he wanted to adopt me. It was never dull and my co-workers kept me on my toes and holding my sides with their antics. It was like working with the Three Stooges, except there about twenty of them! Someone fell, or was knocked into the harbor every day. (Luckily, I was never amongst the harbor-baptized!)
As I was walking down the dock one day to work in my next boat, I came to a sailboat as two riggers were fitting it out. One rigger was up in the rigging, suspended on a bosun�s seat, his partner was on the deck, handing him things. The man on deck said hello and asked which boat I was starting on, so we had a brief conversation, during which, the rigger held onto a spar, ready to pass it aloft. His partner interrupted to say that he was ready for the spar, so while still immersed in conversation the rigger obliged without looking to see whether or not the spar was reaching its intended target and we suddenly heard a loud howl. And then an indignant: �Hey! Watch what you�re doing!� Apparently, the man aloft got his Christmas goose early.
The same rigger was looking at a boat part one day and he mused; �You know, an archeologist will probably dig this up someday and say �I wonder what this was for?�� The boat shop�s welder was walking by and he chuckled; �They�ll probably say the same thing about you when they dig you up.�
One day, I was sent up to the sail loft to bring down all the sails for a large yacht. I had never been up in the sail loft, but I was aware that sails for boats that size could weigh several hundred pounds and were the size of an Old English Mastiff in a sack. Following the directions to the sail loft, I went up a rickety set of stairs that trembled under my weight as I went up each step. At the top of the stairs, I found a door that was exactly my height- five feet tall, and one foot wide. I peered through the doorway at the many shelves that sagged under the weight of sail bags and wondered how in the world anyone could get those sails up those fragile stairs and through that tiny doorway. But, oh well, my job was to get them out, so I squared my shoulders and marched in to tackle this chore. I located the sail bags for the boat in question and pulled the main sail off the shelf. It landed on the floor with an impressive thud and I then proceeded to drag it toward the doorway which must have come from an Alice in Wonderland movie set. The sail was clearly larger than the opening, but since it had gotten into the room some how, it seemed logical that it could also get out. I wedged it into the doorway, and pushed and pushed and pushed. I had a flashback to childhood and reading Winnie the Pooh, where Rabbit was trying to shove a Winnie the Pooh fattened on honey through his doorway. Rabbit�s solution had been to let Winnie the Pooh starve for a while until he could squeeze through the opening once more, but since these sails were not going to lose any weight, no matter how long I waited, I had to keep pushing. After a few minutes, a final heave set the sail bag free and it flew from its confines straight for the stairwell. The sail lumbered noisily down the steps like a panicked walrus sprinting down the shore to the sea and landed at the foot of the stairs with a conclusive crash. I stood hesitantly at the top of the stairs, watching the dust settle and then pursued my quarry to where it lay in a heap. I managed to get the monstrous sail up on my shoulders in a fireman�s carry, and feeling some empathy with Atlas, took my burden out through the building, stopped and rested a moment; shouldered it again, walked across the marina parking lot to the docks, stopped and rested a moment; and trudged down the docks to the sailboat, where I at last stowed the sail in the forecastle. This was repeated for each of the boat�s five sails and before the Spring was over, for every sailboat in the boat yard.
Speaking of heavy loads, one day, I saw one of my co-worker�s struggling with a 55 gallon drum that he was trying to load in the back of a pick up truck. He was a medium height guy with a slim build and not having much luck, so one of the beefy mechanics volunteered to help him. The mechanic was the size of a wrestler and prided himself on his strength, but he groaned and sweated and turned red and he manhandled the drum up the ramp and into the truck�s bed. After great effort, he finally succeeded, and leaning against the drum, he wiped the sweat off his brow and gasped: �Man, that way heavy! What the hell is in there?!� The owner of the drum raised the lid so the mechanic could see inside and with a happy smile he replied; �Lead!�
I kept a journal that was to fill several notebooks during my period of employment with this company, but these are a couple of my favorite memories from those happy days.
I stayed at this boat yard for two years and during that time I met my first husband. I was still very young; only 18 years old. We married and later, I did get to be a sort of June Cleaver; I had two daughters and I began a different career delivering newspapers in the wee hours of morning so I could be home with my daughters during the day. I threw newspapers out my car window for eight years until our marriage dissolved and I was forced to return to a more lucrative line of work and was hired by another boat yard.... but that�s another tale for another day.

I know that I can't be the only cheap-skate out there- so I'm curious- what are favorite ways of saving money?
*Reusing water bottles
*Using plastic grocery bags for small trash can liners
*Washing windows with newspapers instead of paper towels
*Try not to buy anything unless it's on sale and have a coupon for the item as well!
These are just a few off the top of my head, but there has to be a font of suggestions and information available in Blog-land and I'd love to hear your favorites!
Also, do you know of any good penny-pincher's websites? As Home Owner's insurance rates increase, gas prices and the cost of living in general goes up, we're hanging onto every dollar for as long as we can.
Hmmm! One of my photos doesn't show on the blog- this has happened to me a few times. When I added it to the blog it said it was added and it shows on the "count" but it's not here. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Melee matches, the publisher has swiftly reversed its decision. A notice on SRK reads: Advertisement Advertisement I've just receive word from Nintendo that the Evo Smash Bros. Melee stream will be allowed to proceed. We will be restoring the original stream and tournament schedules. Obviously this is a huge relive for all of us here and we're thrilled that the world will get to see the best Smash players fight it out this weekend. Thanks to everyone online who supported both Evo and Smash.If only Nintendo had been that aware of public perception before making the initial decision! We've reached out to the company for comment on the reversal, and will update if we hear back.Smash is Back [SRK]Reply194 repliesLeave a reply


text: Charge Your Battery-Powered Lawn Mower with Solar PowerWhitson Gordon7/17/10 8:00amFiled to: Weekend projectDIYSolar PowerHouseholdOutdoorsSummerGardenEnergyEnergy conservationEnergy saver12EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We've shown you how to convert your gas mower to solar power, but if you have an electric mower (or just don't feel like ruining your gas one), here's how to harness the power of the sun on your battery-powered lawn mower. Since the mower's already electric in this case, it's not quite as intense as converting a gas-powered mower. All you need are some 2-12 volt solar panels, some rectifier diodes, some double stick tape, and miscellaneous nuts and bolts. As far as tools go, you'll need to do a bit of soldering and wire stripping, so make sure you have the necessary tools around for that. You'll also want a volt meter since you'll be working with electricity. Advertisement Advertisement The purpose of the diodes is to create a check valve of sorts, between the solar panels and the battery—since when the sun is down, electricity will flow in the opposite direction, from the batteries to the panels (thus wasting the energy). Thus, it's just a matter of creating a circuit between the batteries, panels, and diodes. Then, slap the panels on top of the mower and you'll have yourself a self-charging lawn cutter for those hot, sunny summer days.
