This is it. The big game and this year the last game of the season. The New Orleans Saints vs Indianapolis Colts. I look forward to this game every year. It's bitter sweet with it being the last game until next season but there's always Madden to play!
Are you having the gang over or are you headed to a party and expected to bring a dish? We were going to have some folks over but I think they'll need snow shoes if they plan on making it before the game's over. We are awaiting 2 feet of snow that is headed our way. Scheduled to start snowing Friday morning and not stop til the clock hits Sunday. So it's just me and my guys.
There's been a request for my Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pizza and I'm happy to oblige. I'm also going to try out some things that have been rolling around in my head like shrimp stuffed pepadew peppers and shrimp and jalapeno wrapped in bacon with Cajun seasonings. I'll pop them in the oven and cook them on low just like the the Gluten and Dairy Free BBQ Jalapeno Poppers. Now of course this all depends on us having the power stay on. But if the power goes out you know I'll be headed to the nearest TV that's on to watch the game. Then I'll be munching on carrots and chips!
So what about you? What are you planning on making for the big game? Share your recipes here in the comments and using Mr. Linky.
Who's going to win the big game? Saints or Colts? Weigh in so we can see if we're better at predicting than the odds makers. I want Saints but I think it will be the Colts.
Next week's Secret Ingredient is …………………Scallops!

Google Notebook's Extension URL
The only alternative to the Notebook add-ons is a bookmarklet, but it's too basic and the confirmation message is annoying. Google Notebook's integration with the browser is what made the service very powerful: you could copy the text from a web page in a notebook with one click.
I don't know for how long you'll still be able to download the Firefox extension from Google, but here's the download link:
If you use a beta version of Firefox 3.5, here's a way to install the extension:
* save the extension to your computer: right-click and select "save link as".
* download 7-zip, an excellent open-source software for archiving files, and install it.
* right-click on the extension (google-notebook.xpi), click on "7-zip" and then on "open archive". Right-click on "install.rdf", select "Edit" and replace "3.0.*" with "4.0.*". Save the file, close Notepad and update the archive.
* now you can drag the .xpi file to your browser and install the extension.
Internet Explorer users that want to download the Google Notebook add-on can try this link:

Thanks dude!ReplyDelete
With FF Beta I would recommend to use also one of these extensions (to load outdated extensions):ReplyDelete
1. MR Tech Toolkit
2. Nightly Tester Tool
The best alternative to Notebook is Evernote. They even provide on their site a bookmarklet which works great on Google Chrome.ReplyDelete
i think Zoho.com's Zoho Notebook is better then evernoteReplyDelete

My migration to evernote has been painless since and I actually am glad notebook decided to fold otherwise i probably wouldn't have made the jump.ReplyDelete
I'm now completely paperless thanks to the OCR function. Not looking back. (Im not affiliated with evernote btw)
I really don't like Evernote's web interface and the Firefox extension is less functional than Google Notebook's extension. For example, you can't view your notebooks using the extension, you can't edit the notes, there's no option to create a new notebook etc.ReplyDelete
Evernote's desktop software is great, but the web service is not.
Apart from the extension - which someone will probably make - I think Google Tasks is basically a useful replacement to Google Notebook; it has better Gmail and Google Calendar integration and a mobile interface for iPhone and AndroidReplyDelete
Why oh why oh why won't they port the code to Docs?ReplyDelete
It is a trivial thing to do surely?
Someone (good at making plugins) should download it, decompile and rebuild it to send requests to docs instead, if Google aren't going to do it.
This decision is soooo sad ! i think it is amazingly stupid to kill such a usefull service.ReplyDelete
About making the extension Firefox 3.5 compatible:ReplyDelete
- if you're getting a
"Firefox could not install the file at [...]
because: Signing could not be verified.-260"
- delete the zigbert.rsa file in the extension's META-INF folder.
Is it just me or does it seem like Google Wave will be a nice follow-up Google notebook. It will just have better sharing capabilities.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 2, 2009 at 9:50 AM
I think that Zoho Notebook is the best option to switch to, it comes with a very similar extension for Firefox and it accepts migration from Google Notebook.ReplyDelete
google notebook was perfect for making very fast searches on the web. Yes google tasks is very good at keeping track of tasks... but google notebook was not for tasks or for creating docs... it was the best way to create a structured library of bookmarks!ReplyDelete
There are two types of bookmarks: bookmarks of sites we frequently read and bookmarks of pages we saw once and we need to keep somewhere in order to find again in the future. If I am looking for tutorials about the use of linux rsync the page I found will not be a place where I will go back very often but I need them to be saved somewhere with my notes and everything put together in a easy to find and re-read way. The search wiki and google bookmarks are two different services which are unable to give something nearly comparable to the notebook experience, it seems all notebook users understood this, but not people at google, it is something I really cannot understand. Maybe it was a service too expensive to give without any charge... but why not putting some publicity as they did with gmail?
I am really unable to understand why they did that... yes maybe now wave will absorb also that functionality, it depends if they will provide some interface similar to that of notebook... maybe someone will write an extension of wave which will do that... let's hope...
Seriously need google notebook. Its like a scratchpad for me. Very fast web analysis and research. Google's explanation that it has overlapping with docs is halfway truth. Yes it does but it has totally different purpose. Its an intermediate scratch for final documnent. I hope google really understands why we need it. May be they have something better in waiting. Its good that at least they not asked us to move our notes and stop creating new ones. Thanks Google..!!ReplyDelete
This is awesome man. When I downloaded 3.5 and saw no google notebook, I was in a catch 22 situation. Want to use 3.5 and also google notebook extension. This blog save my life ;-)ReplyDelete
I guess if Google does not want to develop/support notebook anymore, can atleast make Notebook and Notebook extension opensource.
Cheers !!!
- Jay
You already have access to the source and you can easily change it, but I'm not sure if the license allows you to do that.
Thanks VERY MUCHReplyDelete
Well Google notebook was perfect for making very fast searches on the web.google tasks is very good at keeping track of tasks... but google notebook was not for tasks or for creating docs... it was the best way to create a structured library of bookmarksReplyDelete
I really think Google should integrate Google Notebook into #GoogleDocs; it is simply a natural fit there.ReplyDelete
Loved #GoogleNotebook.

Google.. A lot of your tools are great.. I love my GMail, and the Task list.. and I like the new (though limited) Google Sites.. but WHY OH WHY did you have to stop supporting Notebook?? It's the most unique and best of all the tools.. Thank God you're "allowing" us to keep using it.. but what will I do when I buy my new laptop?? I really need it keep ideas and snippets for my websites. Not a smart move on your part.ReplyDelete
Thanks a bunch, you saved by day, i was worried that I may never find the extension.ReplyDelete

a bunch of thanks for the article. Now i could use google notebook in Firefox3.5ReplyDelete
Does this work with OS X? I use firefox, want to upgrade to 3.5, but I still have google notebook and don't want to lose it!ReplyDelete
Another bunch of thanks. Works perfectly!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 2, 2009 at 5:11 AM
Lifesaver! I love Google Notebooks and I don't want to trust my private data to either of the other two contenders. Google Docs is not a substitute. I need to make many small easily organized notes in the course of my "research" and Google Notebook wa a perfect fit. It is one of my favorite Google tools. Not a great fan of Google Docs. Far too clumsy and inconvenient. Documents are not the key element that I want to access from anywhere, and for my work-related activities, I don't trust Google with my documents.ReplyDelete
Wow, thanks for this tip.ReplyDelete
I also was a happy user Notebook since it was released, and was pretty desperate since I installed FF3.5 yesterday.
But since the end of Google Notebook seems neigh anyway, it is about time to think about a good replacement.
I've been using Evernote myself the last few months, am happy about it, but it's not as fast as Google Notebook.
Any good alternatives? Tips and links are welcome!
Thank you! I think you should give instruction of how to do it on linux as well. I just did it - created a .jar file with the modified files and renamed the .jar to .xpi and opened it with FF3.5.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 5, 2009 at 10:52 PM
Thank you so much for giving me back my Notebook.ReplyDelete
Bad Google, Bad.
I can also confirm this technique works perfectly in the release version of FF 3.5.ReplyDelete
I wonder if Google are going to take notice now that Yahoo! have launched their SearchPad application : http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/search/searchpad/
Wow, I was just desperately searching for this! Thank you so much! Going to upload this to Box.net and make it public. 8-0ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 10, 2009 at 9:03 AM
This was a big big mistake by Google to stop Notebook in its tracks. It actually took me 3 days searching (I emailed google w/ no Response) for a way to get the Firefox extension for my 3rd computer (the point of this isn't it)... The Link on the Google site itself went no where.. but moreover, this causes a lack of trust. Is everything on Google prone to abrupt discontinuation? I was using google Notes to replace the Palm Notes that crashed abruptly when I upgraded my Treo, then I found that this too is an uncertain future.ReplyDelete
Rethink this process please!
Woohoo. I love you googlesystem! Your trick worked like a charm =)ReplyDelete

For Firefox 3.5.1 you will need to edit the file to read "3.6"ReplyDelete
No, 3.5.* is enough to cover all the minor versions of Firefox 3.5.

It doenst works with FF 3.5.1ReplyDelete
Of course it works in Firefox 3.5.1. Most likely, you replaced 3.0.* with 3.5 instead of 3.5.* (the asterisk has a purpose).ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 30, 2009 at 3:27 AM
Yesterday I have posted "It doenst works with FF 3.5.1". Now i found the solution.ReplyDelete
1. to about:config add two boolean keys
2. from XPI archive remove folder *META* and save xpi
As late as you will able to install local and plugins from HDD where the signing will not be checked!
Thanks!. Mil graciasReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 4, 2009 at 12:18 PM
The solution posted by "Anonymous" for FF 3.5.1 compatibility works by just following step (2) - deleting the META-INF folder and without setting the boolean keys.ReplyDelete
No reason to compromise security.
Hope this helps.
- AnonymousAugust 5, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Hi, not so true. When plugin is downloaded to HDD and changed, was not be able to install coz FF said eg "plugin could not be verified" and instalation has stopped. Therefore the security was workarouded.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 5, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Sadly it's not compatible with firefox 3.5.2. Anyone know a work-around?ReplyDelete
If you follow the directions from this post and you save the extension to your computer, it will work in Firefox 3.5 and in all 3.5.* minor versions. I've just tested this in a freshly downloaded Firefox 3.5.2.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 16, 2009 at 8:28 AM
I just did this on a mac. The steps are pretty much the same using Stuffit Expander to turn the .xpi into a folder, taco to edit install.rdf, and the default OS X compression software to compress. When compressing the updated file, do so from inside the folder (select all files, compress) and rename Archive.zip google-notebook.xpi and drag to the browser. Charm!ReplyDelete
Thank you X 10 times for your kind post.. I really missed the functionality of Google notebook on the now firefox 3.5ReplyDelete

Very cool. Thanks or the 3.5 migration.ReplyDelete
Now, how do we get new folks to be able to sign up for Notebook even though it was discontinued? Must be a way, but not sure the path.
I've tried your process on a Mac, but I get stuck : Firefox tells me that "no information on style seems to be associated to th XML file" (my translation from French).
I edited install.rdf with TextEdit, is this right?
Thanks in advance

Hi, thanx this trick really saved my google notebook, i wanted actually to change to Zoho notebook, but since i installed extension on firefox 3.5 i all keep google notebook.ReplyDelete
A last question, do you guys think that google notebook is going to be around even if Google forgot about it, cause i am afraid of loosing all my notes if Google suddenly decides to close this service.
- AnonymousOctober 23, 2009 at 2:16 AM
Thanks a lotReplyDelete
Thank you so much for these links. All of the ones on the site redirect to the page notifying users of the stop in development. This post is a huge help!ReplyDelete
Thank you Google Operating System, I re-installed it and it works like a charm. Google shouldn't have discontinued it. Thank you a lot.ReplyDelete
And special credit to @Allison for Mac Os X aid. I just want to add that in Mac Os x if you don't have Taco you can use Smultron which is free (http://smultron.sourceforge.net).
Thanks for this...ReplyDelete
and to Mihai for the "Signing could not be verified" issue
- delete the zigbert.rsa file in the extension's META-INF folder.
Easy to do with Ubuntu, Archive manager did the deed without complaint.
- AnonymousNovember 16, 2009 at 2:02 PM
Doesn't work for 3.6 anymore! Crap!ReplyDelete
Of course that it doesn't work in Firefox 3.6. You've edited install.rdf so that Firefox 3.5.* is the biggest version in which you can use the extension. Instead of replacing 3.0.* with 3.5.*, you can replace with 4.0.* or any other version that will be released in the future.
I've updated the post.
Apparently, the extension no longer works in Firefox 3.6 beta. The main problem is that clicking on the small Notebook window has no effect. That's strange, as you can open the same page in a new tab:ReplyDelete
If someone manages to find the bug, please let us know.
Worked like a charm. I'll be saving my modified file for future reinstalls. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Apparently the problems with FF 3.6 beta have been fixed in the production release, it works for me using the modified maxversion value in the extension.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 13, 2010 at 8:41 AM
This approach worked fine for me in FF 3.6 Production:ReplyDelete
* save the extension to your computer: right-click and select "save link as".
* download 7-zip, an excellent open-source software for archiving files, and install it.
* right-click on the extension (google-notebook.xpi), click on "7-zip" and then on "open archive". Right-click on "install.rdf", select "Edit" and replace "3.0.*" with "4.0.*". Save the file, close Notepad and update the archive.
* now you can drag the .xpi file to your browser and install the extension.

Thank you..I am glad this extension is still working and with 3.6 Mozilla. I can't believe Google ditched notebook! what were they thinking?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 6, 2011 at 12:17 PM
Works on firefox (Iceweasel) 3.6.8 on debian linux with Gnome.ReplyDelete
Clicking on the .xpi with File Browser will open the archive tool. Extract the install.rdf only. Don't close the archive. Edit the extracted install.rdf according to above description, save the file. In the archive tool, select install.rdf and delete it. Then add the modified install.rdf with the Add Files button. Now the .xpi can be dragged and dropped into a running session of the browser.
Thanks for the description. It is so easy when you only know....
I've tried evernote and their extension but they still come a bit short.ReplyDelete
You cannot create new notebook in Evernote's FF extension; you have to clip, drop it in an existing notebook,go to the website, create a new notebook and move the clipping.
I held out for ~2 years for Google to revive notebook extensions but finally had to moved on to FF5.x this year. :(

[Warning: General spoilers ahead.]
It's been nine months since we last had a new Murder She Baked. My favorite Hallmark Movies & Mysteries franchise returns this Sunday with the fantastic Just Desserts. It's set just long enough after A Deadly Recipe that Hannah (Alison Sweeney) and Mike (Cameron Mathison) are finally together (yay!) and Norman (Gabriel Hogan) is still in the picture as a friend to both of them, which I love. I recently chatted with Mathison about the change in dynamic in the new film, coming off award season as an entertainment journalist, and what's next for him.
This time out, Mathison got a Supervising Producer title on Murder She Baked, and he says it's a formal recognition for something he's always done. "I've been involved in the same capacity through all the films, reworking the scenes, helping make things work," he explains. "It's sort of understood when you do these that you have 15 days and everybody's helping out. It was nice of them to offer me a producer role to take note of whatever efforts I put in."
Hannah's choice of suitors has been a common thread in the previous films, and in the newest outing, she finally has chosen Mike. Mathison explains that was a natural progression that outpaced the books, but the fans were ready for it. "In the series of the books, it lingers for a lot longer. I think because, watching the movies and in today's world, it was thought maybe it was dragging too much, and Hannah would make a decision one way or another," he says.
"I think it's nice that Norman is still very much in her life, and moving on, too. We hit some bumps in the road in this film. You don't want anything to be too happy or perfect, although Hart to Hart seemed to make that work. My favorite may have been this [film], and Plum Pudding was up there, too."
We last saw Mathison in December in A Christmas to Remember, a heartfelt companion to his equally lovely The Christmas Ornament, and he enjoyed getting to play another more serious holiday role. "I like the ones with heart. I'm lucky that they bring those to me," he says. "I loved the script and thought the character was fun and nice, and working with Mira [Sorvino] was a dream, and the kids were great. It all came together very nicely."
Mathison recently wrapped up a whirlwind entertainment industry award season as part of his day job on Entertainment Tonight, and it was a long haul. "I started with these guys at the Toronto Film Festival in September," he points out. "That's when I first met everyone from Lion, La La Land, Moonlight, and Manchester by the Sea. It was such a cool journey to be on."
He enjoyed working the SAG Awards on the red carpet and backstage doing the interviews, but the Academy Awards were the big deal this year as Mathison was positioned to do interviews at the Governor's Ball that takes place at the venue immediately afterward.
"That was super exciting. Everyone files out and gets their statue engraved. Usually it's a nice little ride. It's not a groundbreaking moment. But this year, it was everything," he says. "It was the first time to get a reaction to that ending…it was the aftermath that was the biggest deal. I got [everybody] right after it all happened. I got the first interview with Jordan Horowitz [the La La Land producer who announced Moonlight as the actual best picture win] as he came out of the theater."
Next up, Mathison says he's "plugging away doing some fun stuff at ET" and developing projects for Hallmark. "There are a couple of things we're trying to brew and time out with ET. They know that my relationship with Hallmark is very important and they've been amazing," he says. "And Hallmark is very kind and accommodating about my ET schedule. We're trying to work out cool scripts and good fits. I've been very lucky."
The fifth film in the series, Just Desserts involves a series of accidents (including a fall for Hannah so Sweeney didn't have to hide her cast and crutch from a ski injury) and then a murder that occur around a televised baking competition. The entire cast returns, along with David Lewis (Birthday Wish and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency), and Tammy Gillis (Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Impossible Dream).
Melissa Salmons, who wrote Sweeney's fall film, The Irresistible Blueberry Farm, adapted Joanne Fluke's book and K.T. Donaldson (aka Kristoffer Tabori), who has directed a few of these and The Irresistible Blueberry Farm, directs.
Murder She Baked: Just Desserts premieres Sunday at 9/8c on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and Mathison will be live Tweeting. The first four films will marathon beforehand beginning at 1 pm/noon c. Here is a sneak peek.

No new movies planned as of now. Let Hallmark Movies & Mysteries know on their Twitter and Instagram feeds that you want more movies. It can't hurt. There's even a dedicated Instagram page from a fan: https://www.instagram.com/makemoremsb/.

I was always pulling for Norman in this love triangle and was surprised when he seemed completely over Hannah in the "Just Desserts" movie. It was as if we had missed an episode having to deal with such a departure of affection in Norman's and Hannah's relationship without any real explanation as to what happened. If the show ever resumes, it would be reassuring to see Norman in a truly romantic and authentically "forever" relationship with a beautiful woman. He is such a great guy!

A host of companies have been scrambling for a leadership position in one of the hottest areas of the economy: providing the technology needed by businesses to embrace the cloud.
You could call them the cloud's arms merchants.
They're the ones providing the DNA upon which businesses are building all of their apps and infrastructure and which enables it all to all talk together.
They include big, recognized names like IBM and Microsoft but also smaller, emerging companies like MuleSoft, Rightscale, and New Relic. All of them are helping businesses transition to the new era in which applications have to not only run superquickly and cost-efficiently but also run on a mixture of environments — whether on a business's own servers or over the public cloud.
With all of the activity happening in this sector called the cloud, VentureBeat has decided to create a "Cloud Technology Index." The index will track the most compelling companies helping businesses adapt to the cloud.
We designed this curated index to help chief information officers, marketing officers, and other buyers make sense of the hundreds of vendors in this varied landscape. We kick it off today by pointing to an initial list of top cloud technology companies [see the following pages] based on interviews we've conducted with experts in the field. These companies are the ones that appear to have the most momentum and are clearly on the right side of the push toward the cloud.
However, this is very much a preliminary list, one meant mainly to provoke feedback. We now want to open the discussion to the wider community. We will publish our final index at our CloudBeat 2013 event in two weeks (Sept 9-Sept. 10 in San Francisco) once we've heard from those among you who have really used the products. That's why we're making a call of action today. If you've used any of these products, or their competitors, please let us know what you think (survey here). Even after we get user input, this will be very much qualitative. But we plan to issue update reports frequently.
Separately, we're also announcing the results of our index of our cloud-based dev tools at CloudBeat.
At CloudBeat, we'll be debating the future of the cloud and hearing from most, if not all, of the companies listed below.
The cloud market is huge, but expects say that in some ways it's only just started. The worldwide public cloud service market is about $131 billion in 2013, according to Gartner, which predicts it will grow by 62 percent to more than $160 billion by 2015. That number comes from all of the cloud apps, services and infrastructure that businesses manage every year. Companies will need help making all of these investments work properly. That's where the cloud integrator companies come in.
Consider this: Enterprise companies alone will buy $22 billion worth of cloud apps, or so-called Software-as-a-Service apps, by 2015, according to Gartner. That's up from more than $14.5 billion in 2012. These include popular apps as Salesforce, Workday, and Box. Here again, businesses will need help making sure these apps talk with each other in real time, perform reliably, and cost-effectively.
If you fill out a survey on one or more of the products mentioned in this report, we'll offer you the results of our expanded report about these companies — for free.
You could also call these cloud technology companies the "middleware companies" of the cloud revolution. You have them in every wave of technology revolution. During the client-server revolution, you had companies like BEA that helped created the first standards-based Java application server — a technology other companies adopted to help them to serve their apps. Oracle acquired BEA for $8.5 billion in 2008. Middleware companies like BEA create massive value during a specific era, but they are often transitionary.
The cloud era may actually have fewer of these so-called middleware companies than we've seen in previous periods. That's because companies seek to be able to use whatever app they want, on top of whatever infrastructure they have. By using APIs, less expensive open-source software, cheap commodity parts, and other free protocols, companies are likely to refuse or avoid paying middlemen large amounts of money for integration.
Indeed, we may see just five breakout integrators this time around, compared to around 10 in previous eras, said Snaplogic CEO Gaurav Dhillon in an interview with VentureBeat. Dhillon knows a thing or two about middleware. He cofounded Informatica, which emerged as a key middleware player in the 1990s when it helped enterprises extract data from their applications. Now he's leading Snaplogic, which helps integrate cloud apps with other applications.
The cloud era has another difference: Enterprise companies are less likely to want to buy all of their software apps from a single vendor to save costs. They expect to use best-of-breed software, and they expect to glue it all together easily. It is a more "modular" era, as many cloud observers have pointed out. That's what makes these companies that offer the glue between those modules so significant.
Finally, some very significant companies didn't make our list in the following pages, including Salesforce, HP, and Rackspace, which are very active in the cloud and can be considered cloud leaders in many respects. We had space for just 10, and we wanted to make sure we included some smaller companies that are showing strong momentum. And there are other reasons we didn't include these big players. For example, Salesforce's Heroku platform has very significant traction among developers, and Salesforce is building some very interesting data services for cloud apps. However, the peloton of competitors has caught up in some of these areas. There are now strong alternatives to the Salesforce app platform, especially for developers wanting to develop enterprise grade apps (we'll mention some below). Another big player, VMware, is also not on the list, but that's partly because its sister company, Pivotal, did make the list, and we didn't want to duplicate.
Click through to the following page to see the first company we think is a leader in helping the cloud "grow up."

The runways were taken over with peachy perfect complexions for Spring 2012. Everyone from Michael Kors to Preen sent their lovely ladies down the catwalk with cheeks juicier than Georgia peaches. That means that peachy cheeks are certain to be on trend this spring. Does that mean I have to ditch my beloved Benetint? (Um, never). But in the off chance that I wanted to trade in my typical flushed cheeks for something a bit softer, I went out and purchased Tarte's Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Blissful.
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Blissful, $25
The color is true to the packaging and is also totally buildable, So, does it last twelve hours? Meh… not so much. You may need a 3 o'clock touch up (kinda like that 3 o'clock coffee break) to revive the color, but I would absolutely recommend this nutrient rich, perfect shade of peach to capitalize on one of this spring's prettiest makeup trends.

The character of Amherst is rooted in our colorful and abundant agricultural landscape. Amherst's farmland grounds and balances the town's otherwise largely academic pursuits.
Freshly plowed fields bordered by lush green hillsides define our sense of place. The delicious local produce available at the Saturday farmer's market on the common and our numerous roadside stands allows the community to literally partake of, and become part of our landscape. Amherst is profoundly grateful to our farmland and farmers for providing this sustenance and inspiration for our lives.

Wild ARMs 2 Fanfiction
As you may have noticed, the "new and improved" fanfic library died many, many years ago. Unfortunately, I don't have the know-how or free time to fix it, so I've switched the main fanfic link back to this one. The downside is that all of the fanfiction that was added after switching to the new library in 2006 is (currently) lost. But the site's in archive mode now, so at least most everything posted from 1997-2006 should still be up here.
February 19th, 2006 - It's Time For A Change!
The new fanfic library is now up and running and ready for use! I'm going to leave this one up as an archive, though, so it'll still be around. If you've got stories posted on the site, I've already got an account set up for you; contact me at fanfic(at)icybrian(dot)com and I'll send you your password. If not, feel free to head on over and start one up. The Committee's all set up over there now, so you can go ahead and start submitting stories to the new site (and the insanely long waits will now be a thing of the past.)
I've got all the stories in the library transferred over there, and I'm now working on the Committee box backlog. If you've submitted a story to the Committee but haven't heard back on it yet, go ahead and submit it at the new site and I'll push it to the top of the priority list and respond ASAP.
Author Index- A list of every author whose work can be found on this page.

Read on for preview info and some bullets about the features.
start transmission
Today the EA Play Label of EA and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that two Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows videogames are in development to coincide with the much-anticipated final adventure in the Harry Potter film series from Warner Bros. Pictures which will be told in two full-length parts. The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 videogame will be released this autumn on all major gaming platforms.
With all the action taking place outside of Hogwarts for the first time, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 represents a shift in tone for the Harry Potter games. On the run with a horde of merciless enemies on their tail, players will find themselves in unknown territory, far from the safety of the school grounds, fighting for survival at every turn.
"The final Harry Potter adventure has given us the opportunity to make a darker and more action-oriented game than we have before," says Jonathan Bunney, VP, Head of Production at EA Bright Light. "We believe we are creating a Harry Potter game that the HD console gaming generation will appreciate and enjoy. We have built new technology specifically to allow us to prove that magic is a truly potent force and, in this game, players will need to use all their skills if they want to survive."
"We have enjoyed a tremendous partnership with EA in collaborating on the Harry Potter videogames," said David Heyman, Producer of the Harry Potter films series. "Over the years, the games have grown ever closer to the films in their art direction and in their spirit so it is exciting to know that the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 videogame will capture the action and suspense of the upcoming film."
The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 videogame is packed from start to finish with action and combat. Players will be on the run, fighting for survival on a desperate and dangerous quest to locate and destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes, engaging with Death Eaters and Snatchers in epic battle sequences at every turn. To amplify the action, players will encounter ferocious creatures from the previous films in addition to the adversaries Harry faces in the seventh film. They will need to muster their most powerful magic against relentless assaults from all sides. There are no more lessons, no more training. This time the danger is real. It's time for players to fight for their lives.
A new game engine built specifically to leverage the technology of HD consoles ensures high definition graphics and intense combat gameplay that will immerse players in the action like never before! Under development by EA Bright Light Studio, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 are being developed for the PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

2. Sometimes called the Drowned Man, it is the 12th Major Arcanum of the Tarot.
Image: Man hanging by one foot with the other crossed behind
Hebrew letter: Mem
Divinatory meaning: suspension, delay, reversal, personal sacrifice
Path on the Tree of Life: The 23rd path connecting Hod to Geburah.
Qabalistic Description. The 12th Key, the 23rd Path. The Spirit of the Mighty Waters. This Path runs between Hod and Geburah, the execution of judgment. It is also the self-sacrifice that leads to resurrection, the shamanic trance that leads to renewal, death that leads to rebirth. Mem means water, life consciousness.
Card Description. An elusive and profoundly significant symbol. It is sacrifice—the submergence of the higher in the lower in order to sublimate the lower. It is the descent of the Spirit into Matter, the incarnation of God in man, the submission to the bonds of matter that the material may be transcended and transmuted. The colors are deep blue, white and black intermingled but not merged, olive, green and greenish fawn.
Interpretation. Enforced sacrifice. Punishment, Loss. Fatal and not voluntary. Suffering generally.
Psychological Value. This Arcanum can be used when you seek Divine Guidance and inspiration for some aspect of your life. It can sustain you in your efforts, especially during periods when you feel abandoned and lonely. It gives you a feeling of balance, and opens you up to higher aspirations, by increasing your receptivity to the Divine. Artemis helps you to develop seriousness and purposefulness, as well as increased inner joy. Artemis helps you to understand philosophical and religious issues. (According to the Divine Arcana of the Aurum Solis—Divinity: Artemis; Greek Letter: Tau.)

Cripes, why don't we just hand the planet over to the robots already. Things were bad with the self-controlling war machines and computers capable of destroying our greatest trivia minds, but now we've invented biological electricity harvesters. Might as well build a fleet of Squids while we're at it.
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University successfully generated electricity using the chemical reactions within a false death's head cockroach's abdomen. It wasn't a lot of energy—the maximum power density obtained was only 100 microwatts per square centimeter at 0.2 volts—but it's the first time this has been achieved.
The process works like this. Roaches produce trehalose, a sugar, naturally from its diet. An enzyme located on the anode is introduced into the bugs gut in order to break the trehalose down into two simpler sugars, which are then broken down further by a second enzyme to release their stored electrons, which flow towards the cathode.
Researchers first tested this process in simulation and then live-tested it by inserting two electrodes into a female cockroaches blood sinus (sounds worse than it is). The incredible part is that the insects are apparently unharmed by the process, which means that long-term implantable devices could be possible.
"Insects have an open circulatory system so the blood is not under much pressure," Biology Professor Roy E. Ritzmann, who oversaw the experiment, explained. "So, unlike say a vertebrate, where if you pushed a probe into a vein or worse an artery (which is very high pressure) blood does not come out at any pressure. So, basically, this is really pretty benign. In fact, it is not unusual for the insect to right itself and walk or run away afterward."
Besides the whole humanity-enslaved-by-its-own-inventions scenario, we could wire up a battalion of cockroaches with little head-mounted lasers powered by the contents of their own guts! It'd be awesome—instead of flipping on the light late at night and watching them scurry, you'd instead be met with a barrage of adorable, tickling laser fire. Did I say tickling? I meant blinding.

Texas A&M can't keep up with No. 10 Florida
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Texas A&M's Elston Turner was coming off the best game of his career.
No. 10 Florida made sure the senior wasn't able to build on that performance.
Mike Rosario scored 19 points and Patric Young added 18 as the Gators cruised to a 68-47 victory over the Aggies on Thursday night.
It was a letdown for Texas A&M (12-4, 2-1 Southeastern Conference), which was coming off an 83-71 victory at Kentucky on Saturday. Turner scored a career-high 40 points in that win, but managed just four points Thursday on 1-of-10 shooting.
The Aggies led by one point midway through the first half before a big run by the Gators gave them a 35-18 halftime lead, and they didn't let up in the second half.
Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy knows it's difficult for Turner with A&M not having another major scoring threat to take pressure off of him.
"Their team defense was good," Kennedy said. "He's also had nights like that. When you have one primary scorer against a good defensive team ... they just physically wore him down and did a good job on him."
The Gators were proud of their defense on Turner, who entered the game averaging 17.1 points a game.
"We just didn't give him a chance to do what he wanted to do," Young said. "We made him really uncomfortable. Being able to limit a guy that just scored 40 points in his last game was huge."
It is the fifth straight win for Florida (13-2, 3-0) which is in the midst of playing four of five games on the road.
Jordan Green had 12 points for the Aggies, while J'Mychal Reese added 10.
"We lost to a very good team," Kennedy said. "They were more physical than us at every position ... their maturity and their toughness I think was evident."
Texas A&M scored five straight points, capped by a layup by Kourtney Roberson, to take a 14-13 lead about 9:30 before halftime.
The Gators answered with a 22-4 run over the rest of the first half to take a 35-18 lead. Erik Murphy scored seven points in that span, including a 3-pointer, and Young had six points capped by a dunk to help the run.
Murphy finished with 16 points and seven rebounds.
The Aggies had four turnovers and missed seven shots, including two layups in that span.
"They're very, very hard to guard," Kennedy said. "But I think people don't give them enough credit for their defense."
Florida entered the game ranked third in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 52 points a game. Things were no different on Thursday as they limited A&M to a season-low in points on 34 percent shooting.
The Gators have held eight opponents to less than 50 points this season, and 11 to less than 60.
Florida was playing without Casey Prather, who is out 10 to 14 days with a high-ankle sprain. But they were helped by the return of Rosario, who missed a win over LSU on Saturday with a sprained left ankle.
The Gators scored the first four points of the second half to extend their lead to 21 points and the Aggies never got closer than 18 points the rest of the way.
Kennedy didn't like his team's energy after halftime.
"I was disappointed in the second half," he said. "I think we got our heads down a little bit."
A 3-pointer by Alex Caruso got A&M within 46-28 with about 12 minutes remaining. Florida used an 8-0 run after that to extend the lead to 54-28.
Texas A&M had a crowd of more than 11,000, which included Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel. It was loud early in the game, but Florida's run in the first half quickly quieted the group.

MIAMI, FL – Demi Moore was less than impressed with Kim Kardashian's choice of words this past Sunday!
Kardashian has been in the news recently thanks to her fifteenth breakup with football star Reggie Bush. To get her mind off of things, Kardashian had a girl's night out in Miami with Kelly Rowland, Serena Williams and LaLa Vazquez. In one of her tweets, Kardashian dropped the word "pimpin" and that's where Demi Moore took offense.
What Kardashian meant to be an innocent tweet to represent a fun girl's night out, was taken completely out of context by Moore. She took it as a reference to slavery and took to Twitter to raise awareness on the issue.
"Big pimpin w @SerenaJWilliams, @LaLaVazquez @Kelly_Rowland Love u girls!" Kardashian posted.
"Are you using the word 'pimpin' as in pimping?" @MrsKutcher asked. "No disrespect I love a girls' night out but a pimp and pimping is nothing more than a slave owner!"
Moore did not stop her lesson on the word there and made sure that Kardashian was better informed on the true meaning of the word and all of its connotations.
"If we want to end slavery, we need to stop glorifying the 'pimp' culture," she added. "We have allowed it 2 B considered cool, but it still is what its!"
Kardashina, no stranger to Twitter drama, understood Moore's point of view and didn't seem to take much offense to her outlash.
"Nothing wrong with dancing to Big Pimpin by Jay Z in the club! Having a girls night out, gotta love that song," she responded. "Good point! I agree! it was just a song not literal."
If anything was accomplished by this, it is the hope that the usage of "pimpin" will be better understood. Jay Z and his representatives might want to prepare themselves for a strong worded letter from Demi Moore.

WWE.com has a new article up with quotes from various WWE stars talking about Bruno Sammartino's upcoming induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Here are some highlights of what the following Superstars and Divas said:
Shawn Michaels: "As a Hall of Famer, I feel that, respectfully, the Hall of Fame takes on a legitimacy [with Bruno] that, could be argued, was not there before. The entrance of Bruno Sammartino is an example of the exclusivity, prestige and honor that should be the hallmark of any Hall of Fame."
Tommy Dreamer: "It's great that Bruno is being inducted into the Hall of Fame; it's long overdue. To see him change his attitude about WWE is awesome. I credit Triple H with reintroducing Bruno to today's WWE. I'm really glad he's back as part of the WWE family."
Joey Styles: "As an Italian-American whose family is also from the Abruzzi region of Italy, Bruno Sammartino was and is an inspiration. The haunting story of his childhood in German-occupied Italy during World War II is even more amazing than his wrestling career. Back in high school, my paesans and I had a very bare bones gym above my friend's garage that was adorned with posters of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu, Lou Ferrigno, Lee Haney and, the only non-bodybuilder who inspired us to load more weight on the bar, Bruno!"
Trish Stratus: "Bruno being inducted is long overdue. It's like how the Hockey Hall of Fame would be incomplete without Wayne Gretzky; Bruno being inducted makes the WWE Hall of Fame complete. I'm absolutely honored that I'm going to be inducted in the same class as one of our industry's greats."
JBL: "I don't know what has happened in the past between him and sports-entertainment, but Bruno Sammartino belongs in the Hall of Fame. He sold out the Garden 187 nights. Most people go their entire career without 187 appearances in the Garden. Phenomenal record, what Bruno Sammartino did."

text: Ben-hadad in Smiths Bible Dictionary (son of Hadad), the name of three kings of Damascus. BENHADAD I., King of Damascus, which in his time was supreme in Syria. He made an alliance with Asa, and conquered a great part of the north of Israel. 1Ki 15:18 His date is B.C. 950. BEN-HADAD II., son of the preceding, and also king of Damascus. Long wars with Israel characterized his reign. Some time after the death of Ahab, Benhadad renewed the war with Israel, attacked Samaria a second time, and pressed the siege so closely that there was a terrible famine in the city. But the Syrians broke up in the night in consequence of a sudden panic. Soon after Ben-hadad fell sick, and sent Hazael to consult Elisha as to the issue of his malady. On the day after Hazael's return Ben- hadad was murdered, probably by some of his own servants. 2Ki 8:7-15 Ben-hadad's death was about B.C. 890, and he must have reigned some 30 years. BEN-HADAD III., son of Hazael, and his successor on the throne of Syria. When he succeeded to the throne, Jehoash recovered the cities which Jehoahaz had lost to the Syrians, and beat him in Aphek. 2Ki 13:17,25 The date of Ben-hadad III is B.C. 840.

DECORATING A HOME WITH YOUR SPOUSE, says Dee Elms, is a lot like marriage itself. "It's a process that involves a lot of listening and compromise. You also need to pick your battles." Elms, a principal of Boston interior design firm Terrat Elms, should know: She and her husband, Doug Brown, have lived in three homes together and are about to begin renovations on their fourth, in Cambridge.
Selecting color schemes, fabrics, and furnishings is Elms's business, but Brown, who works for a software company, is equally interested in the process. "We're always tearing pages out of magazines that show things we like and sending each other links online," says Elms.
Elms and Brown share a similar design aesthetic, but there are instances, of course, when they don't agree, such as what color to paint a room or which sofa to buy. In such cases, says Brown, it sometimes helps to put the issue on the back burner. "Take some time off from discussing it," he says. "Often when you come back together, either someone has changed their mind or they don't really care about it anymore or someone has a new idea that seems good to both people."
Dedham-based interior designer Christine Tuttle works frequently with couples who, like Elms and Brown, approach home design collaboratively. The old-fashioned sensibility that men made all the decisions about the exterior of a home while women focused on the interiors no longer applies, she says. "Increasingly, men have become dialed into home design on all levels as much as women."
Most often, Tuttle says, the couples she works with already have some shared tastes. "It's rare to find a couple where one is very contemporary and the other wants the house done in shabby chic," she says. "When disagreements do occur, it's about the details."
In working with Ben and Angela Cavallo on the renovation of their Italianate Victorian in Dedham, Tuttle encouraged each spouse to recognize what was really important to the other. For Ben, it was the kitchen's layout. "Ben is a total foodie; cooking is his hobby," says Angela. "I was overwhelmed by all the options. So I stepped back and let him take over the design of the room, because he had a real vision of what it should be."
The couple did consider the design of the powder room together. While Angela wanted bold colors and wow factor, Ben was intrigued by wall coverings made of maps and nautical charts. They found common ground when Tuttle came upon an aqua-hued Osborne & Little wallpaper patterned with gold foil stars. "Angela got the glamour and color that she wanted, and Ben got something interesting, too," says Tuttle.
During the renovation of their 19th-century home in West Roxbury, a divide-and-conquer approach worked for Rachel Reider and her husband, Jamie Harper. The ambitious project involved not only major cosmetic work but also a redesign of the layout and all new plumbing and electrical systems. Reider, an interior designer, focused on creating the layout and selecting materials and finishes, while Harper took charge of the home's electrical and technological components. The couple did consult each other on most decisions, looking for answers they both could live with. While Harper had no problem with Reider's choice of wall colors, he vetoed an oversize zebra-hide ottoman she'd picked out. Their compromise? A durable ottoman in snakeskin-print leather and smaller scale chair in zebra.
Even if you're committed to negotiating your differences, sometimes in nest-building, as in marriage, one partner may simply have to cave to make the other happy. "There should be non-negotiables. If someone loves a particular chair or they want a steam shower, there should be a way to make it work," says Tuttle. "You just need to be creative and work together."
Designers offer this advice for collaborating with your mate.
Get a clear picture of what you want
It can be hard to verbalize design concepts, so Dee Elms recommends collecting images of things you like. "Pointing to a photo and saying, 'See, this is the stone vanity top I like,' and 'This is how I want to hang the sconces' really helps communication."
Don't be hasty
"With two people working on a project there are a lot of ideas," says Christine Tuttle. "Diligently going through the process takes time. Though it may be tempting, you will regret rushing into decisions."
Make it memorable
Enjoy the process and select items that are touchstones for you both, says Rachel Reider, who recommends using pieces that recall experiences shared as a couple. "A painting my husband and I got in celebration of my 30th birthday hangs in our dining room; it really brings meaning to the space."
