This weekend is annual sales tax holiday
Arkansas will hold its annual sales tax holiday on Saturday, Aug. 2, and Sunday, Aug. 3.
The legislature created the sales tax holiday by approving Act 757 of 2011. The intent of the act is to help families with children in school, and is commonly known as the "Back to School" sales tax holiday. However, everyone benefits from the holiday, whether or not they have children of school age.
Clothing and footwear that cost less than $100 per item will qualify for the exemption. Keep in mind that if you buy an item that costs more than $100 you must pay the state and local sales taxes on the entire amount.
Here's an example provided by the Department of Finance and Administration: a person buys two shirts for $50 each, a pair of jeans for $75 and a pair of shoes for $125. The sales tax will only be collected on the shoes. Even though the total price of the shirts and the jeans added up to $175, no sales tax will be collected on them because each individual item cost less than $100.
Accessories costing less than $50 qualify for the exemption. Examples include wallets, watches, jewelry, sun glasses, handbags, cosmetics, briefcases, hair notions, wigs and hair pieces.
School supplies also qualify, including binders, book bags, calculators, tape, paper, pencils, scissors, notebooks, folders and glue.
Textbooks, reference books, maps, globes and workbooks will be exempt from sales taxes. So will art supplies needed for art class, such as clay and glazes, paint, brushes and drawing pads.
Bathing suits and beach wear will be exempt as long as they cost less than $100 per item. Diapers and disposable diapers will not be taxed. Boots, including steel toed boots, slippers, sneakers and sandals will be exempt from the sales tax as well.
Not exempt from the sales tax are sporting goods, such as cleats and spikes worn by baseball, soccer and football players. Recreational items such as skates, shoulder pads, shin guards and ski boots will be taxed. Computers, software and computer equipment are not exempt and you will have to pay sales taxes if you purchase those items on the holiday.
Act 757 provides that the sales tax holiday will be the first weekend of August every year. All retail stores are required to participate and may not legally collect any state or local sales taxes on qualified items during the tax holiday.
Medicaid Fraud
The newly created office of Medicaid Inspector General recovered $1.56 million in fraudulent charges during its first year of operation.
The legislature created the office when it passed Act 1499 of 2013. Its duties are to investigate fraud, waste and abuse in the Medicaid program, which accounts for more than $6 billion a year in state and federal spending in Arkansas.
Arkansas is one of many states that have expanded their Medicaid fraud divisions in response to the national Affordable Care Act, which has significantly increased government spending on health coverage.
Medicaid is a government-subsidized health program for poor people, the elderly and people with disabilities.

Top honours for Hare
Greater Noida - South African teenager Aston Hare achieved a brilliant double by winning both the races in the JK Racing Asia Series at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) here Saturday while Indians Akhil Khushlani and Aditya Patel grabbed a podium position each.
The double helped the 16-year-old Hare to close the gap with championship leader Nabil Jeffri, who had a disappointing outing as he finished 10th and last in the first race and seventh in the next, but still has a cushion of 12 points going into the concluding double-header Sunday.
Meanwhile, Khushlani and Patel put in impressive performances. While Akhil finished second in the first race, Patel came third in the second run.
Later, in the qualifying round of the JK Tyre-VW Polo R Cup, guest driver Jeffrey John Kruger (2:26.039) finished on pole followed by Avdumber Hede (2:27.562) and championship leader Ameya Walavalkar (2:28.066).
The other races of the JK Tyre National Championship witnessed depleted fields as Sarosh Hataria pipped his Dark Don team-mate Diljith Shaji who drove instead of Ashwin Sundar who had already sealed the championship in the LGB Formula 4 class where quite a few had their first experience of the BIC Formula 1 track.
In the Indian Touring Car Championship where title winner Arjun Balu (Tiger Sport India) skipped the event, veteran Narayanaswamy Leelakrishnan (Big Foots Racing) took the honours to consolidate his second spot on the leaderboard with an easy win ahead of B. Balavijay (Moto-Rev India) and teammate V. Ramnarayan.
The honours in the Indian Junior Touring Cars class went to Fahad Kutty (Team Game Over), who scored his sixth win of the season, while championship leader S. Feroze Khan came in second ahead of S. Sreeram.
The results:
JK Racing Asia Series – Race 1 (10 laps): Aston Hare (Euro International) 1 (20mins, 23.383secs); Akhil Khushlani (Euro International) 2 (20:23.571); Afiq Ikhwan (Meritus) 3 (20:29.089). Race 2 (10 laps): Hare 1 (20:16.541); Ikhwan 2 (20:18.914); Aditya Patel (Euro International) 3 (20:20.363).
LGB Formula 4 (6 laps): Sarosh Hataria (Dark Don Racing) 1 (14:48.281); Diljith Shaji (Dark Don) 2 (14:48.745); Saran Vikram (Mars Racing) 3 (14:57.804).
Indian Touring Cars (6 laps): N. Leelakrishnan (Big Foots Racing) 1 (14:58.753); B. Balavijay (Moto-Rev India) 2 (15:12.148); V. Ramnarayan (Big Foots Racing) 3 (15:14.839).
Indian Junior Touring Cars (6 laps): Fahad Kutty (Team Game Over) 1 (16:45.111); S. Feroze Khan 2 (16:45.584); S. Sreeram 3 (16:47.222).

Manager Joe Maddon used up all his reserves in the ninth inning when Javier Baez pinch-ran for Anthony Rizzo and scored on a Addison Russell's groundout before Miguel Montero and Tim Federowicz pinch hit.
Maddon also employed a five-man infield in the 12th inning, as left fielder Kris Bryant played third and first base before retreating to left as Travis Wood worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam.
Wood then provided the biggest surprise of the night as he drew a bases-loaded walk off Carlos Torres to score the winning run as the Cubs pulled out a 2-1 victory over the Brewers in 13 innings despite stranding 14 runners.
Clayton Richard, the Cubs' seventh reliever...

430 Square Feet of Swedish Modern Bliss
It is incredible to see a tiny 430 square foot apartment transformed into an oasis of modern bliss. This turn of the century Swedish flat in Linnaeus Town, Sweden is exactly that. The space looks open and airy (and quite practical, considering the size!)
Sliding wall panels, the secret to the success of many a tiny home, hide the TV, bookcases, and two large closets. The combined bedroom and living area opens up into a small kitchen with laundry space and a bathroom, and a gorgeous fireplace is nestled into a cozy corner. The icing on the tiny cake is the stunning balcony, which boasts expansive views of neighboring rooftops and mountains.
Mini apartment? Yes. Marvelous home? Absolutely.
See more of this apartment (including a floor plan!) at One Kind Design.

Donald Trump held three rallies in North Carolina and Pennsylvania on Friday in which he compared the inaccurate early predictions of Britain's "Brexit" to his own presidential campaign.
The Republican nominee, down in the polls, told crowds the U.S. presidential election would be "beyond Brexit," "Brexit plus" and even "Brexit times five." In June, voters in the U.K. elected to leave the European Union in a result that defied predictions.
Trump over the summer and in early fall has been fond of telling crowds he correctly predicted the outcome of that referendum, NBC News reports.
Trump also took aim at the media again Friday, calling them out for perpetuating a "rigged system" designed to keep him from the White House. "They're the most dishonest people," Trump said of the media. The crowds' boos turned to chants of "CNN sucks."

Marson, Jakubauskas with Clippers tonight
Cleveland Indians catcher Lou Marson (right shoulder) will continue his injury rehab assignment with the Clippers tonight in Huntington Park in the 7:15 series opener against Indianapolis. Marson played a game Thursday for double-A Akron and was 1 for 3.
Marson is on a back-to-play plan, Columbus manager Chris Tremie said. Marson has only been healthy enough to play three games for Cleveland this season. He will start tonight, play six innings and be off on Saturday. He will play seven innings on Sunday and be off Monday as he works toward playing nine innings and back-to-back days.
Major League rehab assignments can last 20 days for a player. Marson also has an option remaining. With Yan Gomes playing well for the Indians as the backup to Carlos Santana, he could remain with the Clippers for awhile.
The Indians also signed veteran pitcher Chris Jakubauskas to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Columbus. Jakubauskas began the year attriple-A Nashville (Milwaukee, 8G, 3.29ERA, 13.2IP, 5ER) prior to his May 21 release.
Hehas a career Major League record of 8-10 with a 5.58 ERAin 69games with the Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles. He last appeared in the big leagues with Baltimore in '11.
The Clippers returned relief pitcher Rob Bryson to Akron to make room for Jakubauskas. The team also activated infielder Nate Spears (lower back) from the disabled list and assigned him to the Aeros.

2014 has once again seen some of the finest UK on-line media platforms such as Link Up Tv, Grime Report Tv, SBTV, JDZ Media, GRM Daily & P110 working tirelessly on bringing some of the best in new UK Talent to the forefront with a few of these artists really putting in work to develop their sound & style which has led to them standing out and shining through consistently releasing good music until the industry have been forced to pay attention while many others proved to be little more than a flash in the pan with the UK Rap game being the biggest victim of this as many of the new Rappers who had a buzz in 2013 nowhere to be seen in 2014.
That said, here is a genuine list of UK Rappers and Grime MC's who you will not be able to ignore in 2015 as they have laid a lot of groundwork last year and this has led to them rising up the ranks as well as dropping very high quality mixtapes and E.p's proving they are worthy of their place in the music game with some destined to surpass the achievements of the previous generation of artists.
Be sure to at least check out some of the artists on this list as they are the ones to watch this year and should they keep releasing quality music and keep focused the world is theirs.
In NO particular order:
Skrapz [The Game Changer]
Ice City representative Skrapz shook the UK Rap game to the core not once, not twice but 3 times last year with the North West London UK Rapper dropping what is undeniably one of the Top 5 tracks of the year with Mission Impossible which was followed up with his mixtape Skrapz is back Part 2 which was undeniably one of the Top 3 UK Rap mixtapes of 2014 and just in case anyone thought it was a flash in the pan he topped it all off with the 80's Baby as well as scene stealing verses on a multitude of tracks which have made him one of the most talked about and sought after artists of 2014 which should set him up for an even more successful 2015 with the release of his album The End Of The Beginning.
Miss Banks [The Iron Lady]
Ms Banks is easily one of the UK's biggest secrets and has talent in abundance with a slick to fierce flow, versatile delivery and the ability to hold her own with the fellas in terms of lyricism.
In 2014 She has dropped a few stand out verses on tracks as well as very impressive Fire In The Streets & Street Heat freestyles for Charlie Sloth and Link Up Tv.
Ms Banks should do well in 2014 as her fan base continues to grow with each video and she brings out more of her personality which is quite endearing and the fact she isn't as hard on the eye as some of the other females in the scene coupled with the fact she has a few club bangers on the way doesn't hurt either!
Download Ms Banks mixtape Once Upon A Grind from Here.
Section Boyz [Too Hood For TV]
Section Boys have basically flipped the UK Rap game on it's head this year with the South London UK Rap collective delivering some of the biggest street anthems of 2014 with track s like Delete My Number, No Rules & Trophy to name a few with the crew staying ultra efficient and reaping the rewards performing to crowds of bonafide fans who scream the words of their tracks louder than them which is something you don't get too often from UK Rap artists but something Reekos, Swift, Sleeks, Knine, Dee Pee, Inch & Littlez get on the regular and something they will have no problem continuing in 2015.
The Section Boyz mixtape Section Only is definitely one of the biggest mixtapes of the year and showcased a new breed of UK Rapper with the crew definitely having commercial appeal but really not compromising themselves to suit the industry and in a day and age where a Record deal/contract isn't worth wiping you're arse with independently the Section Boyz will flourish.
J Gang - Brixton [Street King]
South London's J Gang really made an impact on the UK Rap game in 2014 with some very well received visuals to his straight to the point gritty and at times harsh tales from the street which accumulated in the release of his mixtape Testing The Water 2 as well as various UK Rap freestyles which J Gang shut down helping to keep Brixton on the map with J Gang dropping visuals consistently and to a point where he has somehow managed to usher through not only himself but many of his crew The Raq Boyz (OS) into the UK Rap game with their fan base growing with each track released and as J Gangs consistency continues with the release of his forthcoming mixtape On My Lonely expect to see him on all the big channels in 2015 as well as a lot more.
Another Brixton artist to keep things popping this year has been Yung Bush who emerged practically from nowhere earlier in the year as a Raq Boyz representative and delivered some very vivid and unrepentant bars and narratives in a series of solid videos and freestyles which have definitely caught the ear of many in the UK Rap and this led to the former football hopeful releasing his debut mixtape A Bit Of Both which was a well received project and has led to Yung Bush becoming one of the UK Rap games hottest rising commodities and everything featuring Yung Bush can be guaranteed to do impressive numbers as he has quickly built up a loyal following of male and female fans whom are always in anticipation of the UK Rappers next release.
Stormzy is a name which has been on everyones lips this year and the UK Rapper/Grime Artist has definitely had the year of his life going from his Wickedest Skengman freestyle series and a few extremely hot covers and remixes to a Mobo win (Best Grime Act) as well as an appearance on Jools Hoolands BBC1 show not forgetting his iTunes chart topping release The Dreamers Disease and cosigns from just about every MC, DJ and media person in the UK.
2015 should definitely be a good year from Stormzy who has a lot of music on the way as well as his ever burgeoning fan base which seem to be trying their best to make Mr Stiff Chocolate a house hold name.
Novelist [The Wonder Kid]
South East London's Novelist is possibly the best and most rounded up and coming Grime MC in the UK and one of the few who genuinely loves the music first and foremost studying the game and showing a great amount of respect for the the Grime scene and MCing culture taking an oldschool approach to things (Radio/Freestyles/Clashing) and a seriously impressive workrate as well as his ultra catchy and hype inducing Stand out verse on the Squares track Pengaleng which has led to him catching the ear of many of the Grime scene's Producers and DJ's who have not only worked on tracks with the new comer but also taken Novelist all over the UK and around Europe with them as he brings something fresh to the table and can definitely keep up with many of the games veterans.
Look out for a lot more music, radio and stage shows from Novelist in 2015.
RapMan [Respect The Hustle]
South East London's Rapman dropped a trilogy of tracks The Story Of The Blue which saw each instalment shut down the internet in a way many a UK Rap artist could only dream of and it has to be one of the best and most compelling tracks from any artist in 2014 with the rising star delivering a tale from the streets with the same conviction as a Nas or a Biggie.
Rapman also proved he isn't a one hit wonder with the release of his mixtape Put The Work In which further proves that he is one of the few street artists that display a higher level of lyricism while staying away from stereotypical UK Rap fanfare and through this has achieved the ability to become a major player.
Izzie Gibbs [The Grime Scenes New Problem]
One of the Grime scene's hardest and most impressive rising artists has to be Northampton's Izzie Gibbs whose drive and hunger has really began to be noticed due to the amount of work he has put in over the past 2 years and Izzie Gibbs has began to reap the rewards from non stop clashing on Don't Flop, Words Are Weapons and more as well as regularly honing his skills with some of the best of them on radio sets with DJ's such as Big Mikee on Silk City Radio and Sir Spyro on Rinse Fm with Izzie Gibbs also dropping a mixtape Real To The Death in the midst of this work which has led to him being inducted into the Invasion Alert camp as well as cosigns from some of the Grime scene's best. Expect big things from Izzie Gibbz next year as he will definitely be doing his thing.
Villain [Ready For The World]
East London's Villain is one of the few artists to really capitalise off of the hype of Lord Of The Mics 6 with the Invasion Alert MC and So Bow representative making sure he has been in the right places dropping the right bars and watching his stock continue to grow with each release and freestyle and Villain has increased his workrate in 2014 dropping the mixtape Are You Listening which showed a lot more direction from the former Mucky Wolfpack Younger as well as landing guest spots on a lot of projects within the grime scene so expect nothing but big things from Villain in 2015.
Potter Payper [Bound To Blow]
Essex based UK Rapper Potter Payper really turned up the heat on them in 2014 with more solid tracks and visuals with Potter definitely breaking away from the pack and establishing himself firmly in the UK Rap scene and developing a strong fanbase as well as becoming one of the UK Rappers other UK Rappers rate with just about everyone cosigning the street lyricist whose attention to detail coupled with his honest and relateable tales of the street have seen his stock rise rapidly with his mixtape Training Day has held things down for a minute building up the anticipation for his latest project 24 which will be out in January 2015.
AK (ScumFam) [Workrate Pro]
While many of the MC's on Lord Of The Mics 6 faded into obscurity after their clashes AK from the Scumfam crew has steadily upped his workrate dumping hard and impressive bars on numerous radio sets as well as delivering some stand out verses on the multitude of track that the Sheffield representative has featured on.
To top this off he has released a well received mixtape Throwaways Vol 1 which see's AK dishing out more hardcore bars as well as showcasing his ability to work as well on his own as he does with others and also the fact he has a very good ear for beats.
Expect a lot from AK in 2015 as he finishes up his forthcoming official EP
Dorris [Manchesters Finest]
Dorris is one of the very few artists you only will only need to hear once to realise that he is on his own thing and is manages to get listeners to gravitate towards him with nothing more than a really well balance of heartfelt lyricism mixed with his Northern witticisms making Dorris aka Morris enterinment central.
Lord Of The Mics 6 saw Dorris sqaure off with Hazman from Invasion in what was a very much overlooked clash but one which anyone who paid attention to would have noticed that the Manchester representative definitely has bars for War and can take as well as give which is another sign of a solid Grime MC and Dorris's genuine 'I don't give a fuck' attitude might be the birth of a new Rockstar!
Realz is one of the few Grime artists who has shone in 2014 with no major cosigns, no label or publicist working for him behind the scenes and not through begging friend with the industry weirdos from Shoreditch, Realz done things the old fashioned way and with some really heartfelt Tracks and noteworthy freestyles has managed to gravitate towards being a complete package who can definitely hang with the best of them as the fans grow to appreciate the So Bow representative who its fair to say obliterated Proton in Lord Of The Mics 5.
Expect some good strong music from realz in 2015 as he readies his forthcoming and much anticipated Mixtape.
GINO [The MAN]
Nottingham representative Gino continued to grow from strength to strength in 2014 with not only more of the big catchy tracks he is known for but also for popping up virtually everywhere and if he wasn't on stage sharing the mic with some of the biggest names in Grime then he could be found at the Mobo's, #BDL Tour, getting a club fully turned up or turning on the Christmas lights in Nottingham city like it's nothing.
Gino is a ball of non stop energy which is what he brings to the game and you will soon notice that there isn't a dull moment with the MC who stays away from promoting the same tired street tales which stagnate many an artists career instead prefering to bring good time sna d good vibes which are a nice way to balance things out and something which Gino has become a professional at.
Look out for a lot from Gino in 2015.
Honourable Mentions....
Here are a few lesser know but equally talented new artists whom you will definitely be getting to know by the end of 2015
Cadell (East London)
Snowy (Nottingham)
The Square (South East London)

I received my brand new laptop this past Monday with Vista Home Basic in it. I spent 2 hours with Vista, I decided that I didn't like much of its usability, and I immediately burned an Ubuntu preview ISO and installed it on my shiny new DELL Inspiron 640m. There was a problem though and X11 would crash on load -- and the graphical safe mode would not work either (confirmed bug). The 915resolution hack was not needed for my Intel graphics card, but I needed to have more information for my laptop's LCD. By manually entering the vertical and horizontal sync in the xorg.conf file it fixed the problem for my 1440x900 screen and I was able to load the LiveCD and finally install Feisty on the hard drive.
Installation was a breeze, very fast and easy to go by, although the "advanced" button that let's you configure where the bootloader should be installed it could use some friendlier "names" rather than just (hd0,0). Ubuntu found Vista's partitions and automatically added them to the GRUB boot menu. I was not able to test FreeBSD and BeOS/Zeta partitions to check if they are recognized by Ubuntu's GRUB automatically (previous versions of Ubuntu didn't recognize them).
A positive point about the new version is the booting speed: Feisty boots in 40 seconds on my laptop, while Vista needs about 50 (with McAfee turned off). Additionally, Ubuntu now seems to be more usable than before with 256 MBs of RAM (with CUPS services turned off) and 512 MBs seem to be more than enough -- a number that's the minimum for Vista.
The default Ubuntu desktop looks a lot like its predessesor versions although the artwork is updated. Personally, I still prefer the default Clearlooks and Tango icons and thankfully, these were included. Compiz is now part of Ubuntu although turned off by default because it still has major problems. I would personally go with AIXGL and Beryl instead of the slower-evolving Compiz (after re-writing Beryl's pref panels of course to be more humane/sane).
Updating Ubuntu and installing new apps is now a breeze. Although Ubuntu has 5 GUI applications that are package-related and that can create some confusion, if the user gets used to them he will never have a problem installing anything on his computer. Firefox has been conditioned to "understand" .deb files and a wizard is loading when you click to such a file and installs it. The Add/Remove application right under the "Applications" Gnome menu is another dead give-away on how to install other popular Linux apps on your computer. And if the user is more proficient and knows what he/she was, there is always Synaptic. In the Administration menu you will also find the global preferences for package management and the "Update Manager", a utility similar to Apple's Mac OS X update facility. Only problem with the refreshing of the repositories is that each time you refresh them, you need to download 5 MBs of data (that's with the restricted and multiverse repositories enabled). Users on slower connections will hate that. Ubuntu must do something to reduce the amount of data downloaded for each repository (the main US server that it's most up-to-date I found it to be slow, so some data-diet would benefit all users, not just users on slow connections).
There is a new proprietary policy at Ubuntu now and so some restricted software is easily accessible for download, while others can be installed on demand, e.g. when Totem identifies a missing codec. With this way I was easily up and running with mp3 and many video codecs support in minutes. However, not all is great with this as new bugs arise: I manually installed libdvdcss because this is not included in the restricted list and Totem now refuses to playback any DVD if you try to load it via Totem's menu -- although it plays fine via HAL when you popup the DVD in the drive (but no chapters or fast forward is possible as all DVD menu options are frozen).
There is also a new "Restricted Drivers Manager" panel under Administration which let's you enable/disable non-free drivers. I had to install Linuxant's HSF modem drivers for my laptop and lo-and-behold, after a reboot the driver indeed showed up there! I also have ndiswrapper installed for my WiFi card using proprietary firmware files, but ndiswrapper is not listed there. Please note that Ubuntu mistakenly loads the BCM43xx driver for my Broadcomm/Dell 1390 WiFi card and that resulted in a lot of errors in the terminal by the system (missing firmware?). I had to blacklist the BCM43xx driver before I could successfully install ndiswrapper and finally get WiFi support. [Update: I installed the bcm43xx-cutter package and installed the required firmware and WiFi now works with the open source driver which unfortunately is not stable (I lose connection after a minute or so), so I have to continue using ndiswrapper which seems very stable.] NetworkManager is very well-done btw, a real pleasure to have around and get connected to WiFi networks on a wim.
My favorite administrative panel is the "Language support". While I originally installed Ubuntu with the US locale, it was not before long that I needed some Greek and French support. What do you know? Installing new locales and easily have your Gnome adapt to each language is just a few clicks away. Another fine moment is that Ubuntu supports suspend-to-RAM (sleep) on my laptop out of the box, although I noticed that once every 5-6 wake ups some stuff can get screwy (e.g. X dying, network card not responding etc). As for battery life, support is not as good as on Windows': my laptop can deliver up to 7 hours of battery life with my 9-cell extended battery, but I get about 5 hours with Ubuntu (with all wireless off, screen brightness low). On the positive side again, the touchpad's scroll wheel is working out of the box, the onboard SD card reader works perfectly, I am now able to select which sound card I want as my main desktop sound card via a GUI and all of Dell's "special buttons" on the laptop (including media buttons, wireless/brightness on/off) are all working out of the box. Isn't that something!
So far, I am very happy with Ubuntu because most things just work, the desktop looks fabulous and it does what I want it to do without having to dig where each option is (unlike Vista's new control panel). There were very few the times that I had to pop to the terminal to carry out an important action. However, this being a beta, I did have some problems with some packages, and as a good citizen I did my part to file bug reports. Some of these problems include: the i810 driver would not playback HD video (Xv crashing) if I would not add the Cachelines option in the Xorg.conf, copy/paste from Firefox does not work if Firefox is then closed down (this was fixed last year for Gnome apps, time to fix Firefox too), Gossip does not connect to anything else but jabber.org (e.g. no gtalk), digicam's RAW files open by default with the wrong applications (only Cinepaint and UFRaw can handle these but they are not set as defaults for the RAW mime types), I have bad AC97 "scratchy" sound with most SDL games (e.g. Neverball, LTris etc), Bluetooth would not work at all here if you don't run "hcitool hci0 reset" before loading the service, there is no option in the gnome-mouse pref panel to disable tap-to-click on touchpads (gsynaptics is really buggy so I prefer to not mess with it), HAL is not built with libsmbios and so the new Gnome "brightness applet" does not support any DELL laptop, FFmpeg is built without AAC (so it's not possible to encode videos for my cellphone) etc. However, these are not problems that I can't live with or not find workarounds.
I've been an Arch/Slackware Linux user for the last 3 years, but Ubuntu has won me the last few days because of the conveniences it brings. The point of the matter is, I am now older. I am 33 years old and I just don't have the same energy as I used to to deal with stupid issues that they should not be there, or with removal or non-development of conveniences for no good reason. Ubuntu is a distro that obviously has paid attention to detail (and everyone who knows me from my past writings knows how much I can bitch about "defaults" and "details") and has found a good middle ground between hard core Linux users and new users from the Windows/OSX land. I am looking forward for the final version of Feisty Fawn in April and you should do too.

From romantic Jenny Yoo frocks to glam Sorella Vita numbers, they've got you sooo covered. Scroll for five trends we're all about in 2017.

We love playing with the many blue options available from Brideside, from seaglass to sapphire to that gorgeous hue of navy that is everything you've ever wanted.

Vote for your favorite name
More than 550 of us aspire to name the Chesapeake Bay Trust's famous blue heron on the Save the Bay license plates. Three finalists name the cut. Now you get to vote for your favorite.
Hattie the Heron, suggested by Jane Dimalanta of Jessup in honor of her great-great-great-great-grandmother. "She was a strong woman and so is our beautiful bird."
Seemore D. Bay, by Lesley Ann of Chester, who hopes this name reminds us to see more of the Bay and work to protect the treasure.
Wade, by Megan Flickinger of Frederick. Simple and descriptive, thought Megan. We wade into the Bay to check water clarity; herons wade into the Bay to fish. Maybe you have an Uncle Wade, too.
Like the sentiment behind Hattie, enjoy the cleverness of Seemore or appreciate the simple Wade. Either way, vote for your favorite at www.bayplate.org.

Racial slur accompanies assault in Orange
One man was arrested after an alleged assault in Orange where the victim claimed the man hurled a derogatory slur while running toward him with a knife.
According to a report from the Orange Police Department, the incident was reported at approximately 4:09 p.m. on Thursday, June 6. OPD Officer Joshua Dempsey reported he responded to a call regarding a disturbance involving a knife in the 800 block of Arkansas Street. The suspect had reportedly fled the scene in a newer model, gold Chevrolet pickup truck missing the front left quarter panel. Dempsey spotted the vehicle traveling towards Highway 87 from DuPont Drive. The driver of the truck, 23-year-old Sean Crooks of Orange, was detained while officers gathered information, according to police.
After gathering witness statements, police determined that Crooks was passing a residence on Arkansas Street and started "peeling out," or spinning his tires, in front of the house. A male resident yelled for Crooks to stop, at which point Crooks exited his vehicle, picked up a rock and struck a female resident in the leg with it. The male resident, the female's husband, began running toward her to assist her. The witnesses reported that was when Crooks retrieved a black, folding knife from his truck and opened the blade. Crooks then allegedly ran toward the couple and told the man, "I'm going to cut your heart out, wet back!"
According to the Urban Dictionary, the derogatory term "wet back" is, "A slang term for those of Mexican heritage, especially illegal aliens. This slur stems from the fact that illegal Mexicans usually swim rivers to cross into other countries."
Police reportedly located the black, folding knife in the driver's door of Crooks' truck, and he was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was transported to the Orange County Jail and asked to provide a statement. Although he refused to make a statement, Crooks reportedly told police he too had been struck with a rick during the confrontation. A whelp on his arm was photographed.
Police are still investigating the incident.

The choice is yours!
by Rob Kerby, Senior Editor
When Melissa Francis was eight years old, she won the role of a lifetime: playing Cassandra Cooper Ingalls, the little girl who was adopted with her brother (played by young Jason Bateman) by the Ingalls family on the beloved series, Little House on the Prairie. Despite her age, she was already a veteran actress, living a charmed life, moving from one Hollywood set to the next. But behind the scenes, her success was fueled by the pride, pressure, and sometimes grinding cruelty of her stage mother.

In-form duo strike again
Southend fought back from going a goal behind to beat play-off rivals Rochdale 3-1 at Roots Hall thanks to another goal each for in-form strike duo Britt Assombalonga and Gavin Tomlin.
Terry Gornell put Dale in front five minutes in to the second half when he nodded home a right wing cross from Phil Edwards at the far post.
But that sparked the Shrimpers in to life and they equalised just seven minutes later when Assombalonga charged forward after collecting a pass from Marc Laird and fired home his 12th goal of the season from the edge of the penalty area.
Just a minute later, Paul Sturrock's side took the lead when a swerving left-wing cross from Michael Timlin caused Lillis all kinds of problems and, after the keeper could only parry it out, Tomlin was on hand to cooly slot home his fifth goal in three games.
Southend then made sure of the victory in the 79th minute when Assombalonga teed up Laird who chipped the ball over the advancing Lillis.

text: After using the medela symphony for 5 months we finally had to give it back & buy one. I chose the ameda purely yours & although I've only used it for 3 days I have to say I'm not a fan. 1) way louder & stupid beeping is annoying enough to prevent letdown 2)letdown can be a craps shoot it seems. I use it approx 5x/day when @ work & almost half of those times it took almost 20 min to get an initial letdown & then takes another 20_30 min to drain the milk. Once it gets going, though, I get more letdowns in a shorter amount of time than the medela. 3)the 'horns' aren't like the medela at all & because of that all the bras I retrofitted to be handsfree are useless. I am able to use a nursing bra to hold on bottom & top of shields but is precarious & if I massage while pumping this doesn't work. Anyone else using the ameda purely yours have any tips?

College of Business Holds Strategic Planning Session
The College of Business held a strategic planning session on Sept. 6. President Jonathan Alger kicked off the day, saying, "Let's do some blue sky thinking and bring in an entrepreneurial/creative spirit." He noted that the Madison Future Commission (MFC) has been working since 2012 on laying the groundwork for the university's 2014-2020 strategic plan. The CoB Strategic Planning initiative is very timely, and fits in well with the goal of the MFC.
President Alger challenged the faculty and staff participants to think about big issues and challenges we face as a society, and define what we do from an educational perspective to meet those needs.
Dr. Mary Gowan next welcomed the group, and noted that the world is changing quickly, and we need to be at the forefront of education. She said, "I want you to think about a 'big idea.' We need to redesign the box, not think outside it." She reminded everyone that we need a clear, compelling story to convey to donors.
Day's Activities
Associate Dean Rick Mathieu, planner for the event, summarized the goal of the day by saying, "We want you to review and reimagine the College of Business vision statement and shared values. We also want you to connect with each other during the day."
The participants broke up into several different groups over the course of the day, and worked on the following challenges:
- Developing an elevator speech for the CoB
- Defining the future of education
- Identifying and refining the values of the CoB
- Reviewing and tweaking the CoB mission statement
- Creating a CoB vision statement
Provost Jerry Benson wrapped up the day's activities, noting that the College of Business is at the forefront of the planning process.
Next Steps
Dr. Gowan explained that the mission, vision, and values committee will take all the information generated at the planning session, and organize and summarize it. Next, a strategic task force will be created to help determine how to put the vision and values into action.
Dr. Gowan anticipates the process should be completed by the end of this academic year.
The planning participants were highly engaged and involved during the session. They also appreciated the chance to meet and work with their colleagues.

Fix For Problem With Ie Default Font Size
THL Toolbox > Developers' Zone > Fixing IE Default Font Size
Fixing IE Default Font Size Problem Caused by Eudora
Contributor(s): THL Staff
If you use Eudora Mail client, there is a "bug" in Eudora that automatically sets the default font size in Windows Internet Explorer to small. According to a posting on a Google group, there are two solutions, but it may be that you have to do both of them.
Solution for Eudora 4.2 or greater
- In Eudora, go to Tools → Options → Viewing Mail
- Uncheck "Use Microsoft's viewer"
- Click on the OK button
This should stop the problem.
Solution 2 Using Regedit
Eudora messes with IE's default font size setting by changing its registry entry. Therefore, it can also be reversed by reversing this change in the registry itself. This is done through a Windows system program called "regedit". To change the registry entry do the following:
- Go to the Start Menu and choose the "run …" option in the bottom right corner of that menu.
- In the resulting dialog box, type in "regedit" after Open and click OK.
- A window will appear with a hierachy of folders on the left and a list on the right. It will show the folders in "Software" In the folder tree, navigate to the following folder: SoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerInternationalScripts3.
- Upon opening folder "3", you will see a list of choiced on the right.
- Choose "IE Font Size".
- Under the Edit menu, choose Modify
- It should show "0000 01 00 00 00". The first four zeros are un-editable, but you can and should change the 01 to 02.
- From the File menu, choose Exit.

ALLSTATE SUGAR BOWL QUOTES – Virginia Tech Arrival
Louis Armstrong International Airport, December 28, 2011
Virginia Tech Head Coach Frank Beamer
(Opening Statement) "I can tell you we are tremendously excited to be here. To come to this bowl, of course it has a history on how they operate. To come to this bowl and to play one of the winningest programs in college football is just special. We will do our best to make this a great football and bowl game. We've had some practices back in Blacksburg, they've gone well and we expect the practices here to go well and we look forward to the bowl game."
(On the opportunity to play in the Sugar Bowl) "We are very excited. We've been in a BCS bowl game in four of the last five years. I found out as I go out on these speaking tours for our Alumni, they like to win these ball games. They don't just like to come they like to win. We are going to have to get this done. The more you study this Michigan team the better they get. They are well coached up front offensively and defensively. Their front is their strength for them and they perform well. It's going to be a challenge for us."
(On your prep so far for the game) "We've stressed the importance of this game to the kids. We want to perform well and show the Sugar Bowl's confidence in picking us as an at-large team and we want to earn that."
(On tailback David Wilson) "David's a special player, special person. He's a happy person, always happy, never sad and always on the go. He might have hopped off of the plane. He's got a great outlook, energetic and always positive. He plays football that way, runs with great effort. He's fast, strong and runs with great effort."
(On what impresses him about Michigan) "They are tough, very physical. Extremely well coached. Dangerous on offense. Some quarterbacks are hard to tackle in open spaces; this guy [Denard Robinson] is hard to tackle in close spaces. He's special. They operate efficiently and they are just a good football team."
Virginia Tech LB Tariq Edwards
(On the excitement surrounding the Sugar Bowl) "We are very excited, especially for the guys whose first time it is in New Orleans. We are very excited."
(On the distractions the city of New Orleans has to offer) "Coach has talked about that to us a lot before coming down. We just have to know what we came down here for and be familiar with that."
Virginia Tech WR Danny Coale
(On earning respect for playing in the Sugar Bowl) "We were given an opportunity to play in a great bowl. After we played on a national stage against Clemson we didn't play well. It disappointed all of us. It was pretty embarrassing at the same time. So having an opportunity to play in the Sugar Bowl against Michigan, a storied program that Virginia Tech wants to be, it's a huge honor and something we are taking seriously."
(On what stands out about Michigan) "They're really talented just all across the board. When you think Big Ten, you kind of think powerful. They have a quarterback that can run all over the place. They're quick. They're fast. They're the same on defense. They're powerful up front and they have some speed in the secondary. So it's a unique team that I don't think we've played all year long with the combination of size and speed. It's going to be fun."
(On being concerned about Michigan) "I don't really go in a game concerned. I think we'll look at some more film this week and we'll try to find some areas to go after. They're a great team. They do have a lot of prestige. They've had a great season; I know they've had some big wins, and I know all of the guys think that they're a very talented team. It's a great opportunity that we're really looking forward to."
(On what is surprising about Michigan while looking at game film) "I didn't watch them much this season. I didn't know a lot about them. You know the history, and you've heard of past Michigan teams and then you look at them on film. Their front is huge; they're enormous. And then their secondary is out there making plays. It's a unique combination of power, size and speed. I don't think it's something that we've seen quite like that this year. They're just a really good team."
(On what the offense needs to do to improve from the ACC Championship game) "We weren't able to throw the ball and we weren't able to run the ball well either. So to help each other out, to be able to have some success on offense we have to be able to do both well because we feed off each other. We just need to get into a groove. I don't think we were in a groove against Clemson. We're going to work hard this week to get in that groove and get a little more polished."

Every culture and subculture with high abortion rates has high breast cancer rates, and every society that recently legalized abortion has rising breast cancer rates.
Some 26 studies indicate a link between abortion and breast cancer, and most of these researchers are personally "pro-choice." Pregnancy introduces changes in breast tissue. The interruption of a pregnancy leaves these cells in a state in which they are more likely to become cancerous.
October is both Respect Life Month and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Priests for Life calls on all priests and pro-life leaders to make people aware of the link this month and all through the year.

Corsair Launches High Density DDR3 Memory for Core i5 and Core i7 Processors
Subject: Memory | August 28, 2009 - 11:35 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 27, 2009 - Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer memory, power supplies and flash memory products, including solid-state drives, today announced a new set of high density products for Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors. These DIMMs are available in dual and triple channel configurations and are specifically tuned for Intel CPUs.
The 8GB and 12GB module kits feature Corsair's DHX+ cooling technology, and sport new American Racing Blue fins and highlights. The dual channel configuration, part number CMD8GX3M4A1600C8, consists of four matched 2GB modules, optimized for P55 motherboards. The triple channel configuration, part number CMD12GX3M6A1600C8, consists of six matched 2GB modules, and is optimized for X58 motherboards. Both sets of modules have XMP profiles set at 1600MHz, with CAS latency settings of 8-8-8-24. An Airflow fan with matching blue highlights is included with both the dual and triple channel configurations.
"Windows® 7 early adopters and other power users have recently been demanding 8GB and 12GB performance memodry solutions to optimize their computing experience," stated John Beekley, Vice President of Technical Marketing at Corsair. "These 8GB and 12GB configurations will allow these advanced users to get the most out of their high performance rigs, particularly if they often switch between demanding tasks like gaming and video production."
Corsair has recently produced a whitepaper detailing some of the performance gains that can be realized with memory configurations of 8GB and larger. You can find the results of this study

Let's get this done so I can get back to bed, huh?
The Unapologetic Mexican: Nez releases his introductory video for the MTV Street Team '08 project (Digg it here, kplsthx), chills with some brainy dude with fabulous hair, and proves that there are in fact ways to make pussy jokes that don't demean women. (Hint to the guys: Make yourself the true butt of the joke, and even feministy crabasses like myself will laugh at it. There! You're welcome.)
The Hathor Legacy: "Dear Target shoppers: We here at Target won't deal with any nontraditional media outlets who are not James Lileks, so take your outrage over this ad and shove it." Oh well, the Target near me sucks anyway. Nothing's ever in stock and all the employees have that "please kill me" look that brings the whole store down, not that I blame the employees so much as the management for that, but you know what I mean: It's frustrating and depressing to shop there. So now I just won't! Thanks, Target!
My Private Casbah: Two excellent posts examining class privilege, and one righteous rant:
You know, people with disabilities really take a lot of shit off of people. We put up with the casual use of words like "retard", "nut job", "lunatic", "vegetable", every damned day. We generally don't go around blowing up any nursing homes prisons just because we know how inhumane they are even though some folks have no problem with this sort of "direct action". We put up with shitty housing, illegally inaccessible government buildings, and condescending store clerks every effing day. We are raped and told that it was our own fault. Yet, we still put up with that shit.
Many of us just don't have the energy to fight every instance of injustice that we personally experience. Taking on the entire ableist system is more than most of us are willing to do. But here's the thing: Why should we have to do it? Why aren't YOU people fixing yourselves? Why should we have to stop you from trying to eliminate us completely?
The thing that's amazed and often horrified me in online discussions of Katie Jones' "Do Not Resuscitate" sign is how often people will quite glibly determine what is "best" for Katie based on what they would want done if they were in her shoes.
Stop and think about that for a minute.
I like to think (let's pretend I'm younger and a lot more fertile here for a moment) that I would never have an abortion outside of a very, very few extenuating circumstances. Yet I support safe, legal, accessible abortion for all women. What if I said instead, "Well, I'd never want one--the very contemplation of having one fills me with horror--so you don't need one either?" That's right! I'd be a fervent anti-choicer!
I do two things with respect to abortion: (1) I keep in mind that there are some things one can only know through direct experience, so for all I say "I would never," the fact is, I don't actually know what I'd do if I had an unplanned, dubiously-desired or not-desired-at-all pregnancy. I couldn't know until I got there. And (2), I keep in mind that not everyone is me, not everyone wants what I want, not everyone thinks what I think.
This is my polite way of saying that "I would rather be DEAD than live like that" is a shit argument, okay? You don't actually know what you'd rather, it's a grossly offensive sentiment to harbor about people with disabilities, and not everyone is You, Wonderful You. It's a shit argument. People need to stop making it.
La Chola: For Allies: How "Gender Trumps Race" Plays out in the Real World:
I just wanted to point this out so that those who are committed allies to women of color can see plainly and clearly what women of color are talking about when they say that they have serious issues with how they are written out of 'feminism' and 'justice'.
Speaking purely from my own experience and no one else's (I can't emphasize that enough), what I have found is that women written out of feminism and justice are usually perfectly willing to tell me why this is so--if I listen. If I ask the question honestly, or better yet, if I take the time to go looking for the answers myself, I WILL find the reasons. It's when I enter into my query with the (unstated, often suppressed or camouflaged) aim of arguing women of color out of how they feel or what they believe that my problems arise.
I saw a white person online recently complaining that all s/he ever got told was to listen to people of color, and that was terribly unfair, because this person had So Many Good Ideas! about how to fight racism! Well, the analogy is not perfect (no analogy ever is), but I would suggest that white feminists flip that complaint around to see how it fits: How do we feel when men complain that they have such good ideas about how to fight sexism, but instead we keep telling them to start by listening to women--and our insistence that they listen more and talk less is so unfair to men? "Cry me a river, dude," is normally my response to that one.
And via La Chola again, more on life on the border:
The trip to Mexico was a privilege, not only because I literally learned the privilege that my passport afforded me, but also because I returned fundamentally changed. I thought I knew much more than your average American about the special relationship between the Southwestern US and Mexico. I grew up in the Bay Area of California, where Cesar Chavez was loved almost as much as Martin Luther King Jr. I grew up knowing about migrant labor and how the growing seasons all along the West Coast, from Oregon to Baja, complemented an itinerant, agricultural workforce. I thought I knew, since half the cities I could call to mind were Spanish – San Francisco, San Jose, Modesto, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, and Los Angeles. I somehow knew as a child that Anglo-Californians were interlopers on an already-occupied land.
I thought I knew, but since the passage of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) things have drastically changed in the US and Mexico, especially for the working poor. The Mexican economy has tanked, and for working-class Americans, by 2000 NAFTA accounted for a job loss of more than 400,000 American manufacturing jobs (probably many, many more by now). But more significantly, when Americans found new employment, they made only 77% of their former wages. Wages in the US are now at their lowest in terms of buying power since 1955. In Mexico, the situation is much worse.
Zuky: Repost--Eight Images
You don't have to be a brilliant photographer yourself to enjoy this collection of images. I will sneak you in one here just to tempt you to view them all:
Green is the New Red: Movement Watch: Grand Juries Against Puerto Rican Activists:
According to BreakAllChains, in one recent case the FBI claimed to be investigating "the extremist group: The Welfare Poets." The Welfare Poets is a collective of artists and activists.
The danger of grand juries is that they're a legal black hole. The government can haul in activists, question them about their political beliefs and political associations, and throw them in jail if they refuse to cooperate. Even if activists walk in the grand jury room, but don't answer questions, it still creates mistrust among other activists because grand jury deliberations are secret
Your tax dollars are hard at work subpoenaing social workers, graphic designers, and "artists and activists." Do you feel safer?
Writeous Sister Speaks: Gloria Steinem: Mis Dos Centavos. Out of all the excellent coverage of Steinem's atrocious op-ed, I am most partial to this post by Aaminah Hernandez:
The most obvious, to me glaring, proof that Steinem is making a sweeping statement about the feminism of women who don't vote for Clinton is in this statement:
"…some women, perhaps especially younger ones, hope to deny or escape the sexual caste system; thus Iowa women over 50 and 60, who disproportionately supported Senator Clinton, proved once again that women are the one group that grows more radical with age. "
To me, this reads as
a) young women aren't radical enough (i.e. not "feminist" enough)
b) young women live in a fairytale land where they "hope to deny or escape the sexual caste system" so they are simply not as smart as the rest of us (i.e. not "feminist" enough)
c) young women aren't showing proper appreciation for the efforts of the older feminist waves by not supporting a woman for president (i.e. not "feminist" enough)
d) thank God for the older, radical, feminists who can save the young women from their misguidance by voting Clinton into office
e) women of color do not exist and have no reason to feel a squeeze between supporting a candidate of color versus a female candidate
f) heaven forbid a woman is voting based on actual politics and chooses to support a white man instead of the colored or female candidates - because then she is just a flat-out traitor (Considering how many people, including Steinem, who have said this race shouldn't be about race or gender, it is amusing how race and gender is all they want to talk about and how clear it is to women that voting in another white man is a glaringly bad decision because for the first time we really have choices!)
Aaminah is persuasive and compelling here. Don't miss out!
Donna Darko: Third-wave Feminism. Donna looks at the formation of the third wave and contrasts it with mainstream feminism now. I winced to read it, but that was not Donna's fault. No excerpt because you really do need to read the whole thing with this one.
Finally, Jill of Feministe has an exciting new gig at Alternet. And not to diminish the significance of that achievement, but I have to take a moment now, before I run out of steam here, to defend Jill's taste in music.
Feminists, lay off bashing the pop divas. REPEAT: LAY OFF THE POP DIVAS, especially if they sing better than the Indigo Girls, WHICH THEY DO, OKAY, IT'S NOT EVEN UP FOR DEBATE.
First of all, there is nothing wrong with Mariah Carey that really good material can't fix. Mariah with 90% of her catalogue is a technically gifted singer with, as a commenter piggybacking off Dorothy Parker put it, a range of emotions that runs the gamut from A to B. But Mariah + the right song = chills up spine. And hell, YOU try packing convincing emotion into most of the pablum masquerading as pop music today. You aren't going to do any better at breathing new life and sincerity into cliché than Mariah does.
Second of all, everyone is allowed at least one Beyonce in her life. My Beyonce is named Britney Spears and she's not at her best right now, okay, but BACK OFF. Don't make me start crying.
Third of all, Shakira is amazing and that's final.
You know what all three of those women have in common? I mean, besides that they're all beautiful women of color?--Their presentation and style are full-on feminine. Why the fuck does a woman have to act like a man to get any respect from the indie music snob crowd? Or commit terrible crimes against innocent consonants like Natalie Merchant? Your rules SUCK, music snobs, and they aren't even particularly feminist. There can be ways for women to express themselves in music beyond PJ Harvey and Chrissie Hynde and Beth Ditto. Fucking accept it.
UPDATE: In fact, some diva nostalgia might be just what the doctor ordered.
Yes, AGAIN with the short-shorts.

The removed sentences:
That is the abuse and fallacy of Romanism, by which the true spirit of Christian offering is directly contradicted. The treatment of the Papists' temple is eminently exhibitory; it is surface work throughout; and the danger and evil of their church decoration lie, not in its reality — not in the true wealth and art of it, of which the lower people are never cognizant — but in its tinsel and glitter, in the gilding of the shrine and painting of the image, in embroidery of dingy robes and crowding of imitated gems; all this being frequently thrust forward to the concealment of what is really good or great in their buildings. Of an offering of gratitude which is neither to be exhibited nor rewarded, which is neither to win praise nor purchase salvation, the romanist (as such) has no conception.
LE adds: The note (No. 3 at the end of the text in eds. 1 and 2) was as follows: 1 "'To the concealment of what is really good or great."' I have often been surprised at the supposition that Romanism, in its present condition, could either patronise art, or profit by it. The noble painted windows of a St Maclou at Rouen, and many other churches in France, are entirely blocked up behind the altars by the erection of huge gilded wooden sunbeams, with interspersed cherubs."
The MS. adds:
— "painted red and white. And for the pageantry of Romanism which is said to have so overwhelming an effect upon the faith of many, the chief impres- sion it has always produced on me has been that of wonder that, considering how much depended on it, it should be so marvellously ill-managed for effect." In the MS. the passage, "in the gildings . . . gems," ran "in the gilded doll and painted puppet, in the faded riband nd dingy lace, in the theatrical robe and imitated jewel," while the earlier portion of the note is as follows:
While I admit it to be a question whether art has ever promoted true religion, I have a right to oppose the idea of its having been made efficient in the advancement of abstract Romanism. I am surprised at its not being more frequently observed that real art is of no service to the Romanist. Give him the best and most precious picture in the world, and though he will indeed use it as a piece of furniture behind his candles, and smoke the top of it and drop wax over the bottom of it, yet, as an idol, or even as an historic representation, it is of no use to him whatever until he has cut a hole in it, and put real pewter crowns on the heads of all the saints in it. Give him a Pieta by Michael Angelo, and he will put it in a niche out of the way where it will never be seen; a group of wooden images from the estab- lished makers with real lace dresses on them, and highly painted, is what he wants for practical purposes. The noble painted windows of the east end of St Maclou, St. Vincent, St. Patrice, and other churches in Rouen are concealed behind gilded wooden carvings from twenty to thirty feet across, representing square rays of the sun of the size of oar blades, piercing volumes of smoke, with bunches of suspended cherubs."

Guilty Pleasures: Chocolate Ice Box Cake
Three ingredients: cream, sugar, chocolate wafers plus 24 hours in the fridge. Oh so simple, oh so delectable.

Sounds delicious, but I am 99% sure it wouldn't work for me. I've never been able to get even the simplest of freezer or refrigerator desserts to harden up for me. I think I'm challenged.

Raven, trust me, this one is no fault. The instructions are on the side of the chocolate wafer cookie box. If you can whip cream, you can make it.
