During the summer, students take a break from school and maybe a vacation with their families. Many area children and teens also headed to the public library for a fun way to keep their reading skills sharp during the down time.
From June 17 through July 26, many local children participated in the Henderson County Public Library's annual summer reading program. "Dig into Reading!" was this year's theme for the program, which is funded by the Friends of the Library.
The summer program was open to youths of all ages, starting with newborns to fifth-graders. There was also a program for older children and teens grades in grades six through 12 called "Beneath the Surface," which related to the Dig into Reading! theme.
To participate, children were required to pick up a reading record and complete 25 circles by the end of the program. Each circle represented 15 minutes of reading.
When they completed the program, the children had read for a total of 375 minutes (a little more than six hours). They were rewarded with a free paperback book, stickers and a bookmark.
Teens were required to read six books and complete a book log. They then earned a free paperback and were entered into a drawing to win a NOOK Simple Touch with a glowlight so that they could read via e-reader. The drawing also included two $25 gift certificates to Fountainhead Bookstore and two $25 gift certificates to Epic Theatres.
More than 2,000 children registered for the summer reading program, and 957 completed it. Another 460 teens registered, and 131 completed the program.
The program offered many fun activities to encourage youths to "dig" into reading. One event for children included a visit from Hendersonville police officer Jennifer Drake and police dogs, while another, called "Dig Into Rocks & Minerals," invited children to explore the gems inside the Mineral and Lapidary Museum.
Kids also discovered "worm ranching" and learned about animals that live underground thanks to Henderson County 4-H.
The library conducted a total of 179 children's and teen programs, with a total attendance of 5,481 youths.
"Our goal with this program is to encourage children and teens to continue reading over the summer. It keeps up their reading skills long after school has ended, and we try to do it in a fun way by offering these special events," said Loree Kelly, director of the summer program.
"We had some good ones this summer; we've had puppet shows, magic shows and many regional and local performers such as the "Secret Garden" by Bright Star Children's Theatre from Asheville, and they're wonderful," Kelly explained. "We offer children a program that is interesting and exciting, but we also introduce them to good literature and expose them to the talent in Henderson County."
The teen reading program offered many events that were "beneath the surface," including a gardening program; a filmmaking workshop in which teens learned about writing a script, acting and filming, then wrote their own called"Romance of the Wimpy Kid;" and were visited by mind reader and mentalist Erik Dobell, as well as a presentation by Kim Sonefelt called "Carolina Shadows," which cast light on spooky, bizarre North and South Carolina legends.
"(The program) is very important because it's our biggest one of the year," Kelly said. "It also gets children to look forward to visiting the library and using it as a resource on a regular basis, making the library an important part of their lives."

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Complete Season One (UK - BD)
Chris checks out the Blu-ray release of the first season of the animated show...
I've already reviewed the Star Wars: The Clone Wars theatrical movie and the first two DVD volumes for the site, and I don't have a whole lot to say beyond reiterating my earlier thoughts. I freely admit that the show has its faults, most of them humour based, but they are forgiveable when you look them in the context of an animated television show aimed at a younger audience. The interplay between Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano—which was initially quite grating—has progressed throughout the course of the season to the point where the young Togruta has lost much of her snippy 'Sky-Guy' attitude and become a strong character in her own right. I've even grown accustomed to the zany antics of the battle droids, which I have to confess to laughing at on more than one occasion.
As a hardcore Star Wars fan I guess I am predisposed toward enjoying this series, but on the other hand I have been fairly vocal in my criticism of some aspects of the prequel trilogy. With this being a show based entirely in the time period presented in those movies you might wonder why I enjoy it, and that's a fairly reasonable question. Is it hypocritical to slate the annoying battle droids and 'mannequin' Skyalker in the live-action films, but to forgive all of that in an animated show? The way I look at it is that the cartoon series generally has a much lighter tone than the film series, and the humorous elements don't stick out like a sore thumb (as they did at times in the prequels).
However, the main reason I've become so fond of the show is because it allows us to spend a lot more time with the secondary characters, some of which are just as interesting as the principals. I think it's great that the series' creators have given us entire episodes devoted to 'supporting artists' like Plo Koon, Aayla Secura, Luminara Unduli and the clone troopers themselves, and built upon the movie characterisations of villains like General Grievous (I could have lived without the Jar Jar Binks episodes though). There are also plenty of audio and visual nods to the live action movies, from the 'Death Star' like firing sequence of the Malevolence to characters frequently aping classic dialogue, which always brings a smile to my face.
Of course another huge benefit of having the whole season available for the first time is that the bulk of my favourite episodes occurred in the middle of the run. Episodes like 'Duel of the Droids', 'Cloak of Darkness', 'Lair of Grievous' and 'Trespass' all stick in the mind, and it was great watching them again in the sort of quality the broadcast versions could only dream of. As I write this we're about five episodes into the second season of the show and it's going from strength to strength. The addition of a new group of bounty hunters opens up all sorts of possibilities, and I can't wait to see where the show goes next (and who will pop up in a cameo).
Hooray! The first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars arrives with its correct aspect ratio of 2.35:1 (1080/24p VC-1)! I was most annoyed when I found out that I was missing a lot of the picture on the cropped 16:9 TV broadcasts, so this as a big plus for me. Having compared a few scenes to the individual DVD volumes that I have previously reviewed the benefit of the OAR transfers is readily apparent—the frame is much less cramped and even more of the glorious image is available for your viewing pleasure. Now I know there are some people who don't like the whole animation style of the Clone Wars show, but I happen to think it looks great. I love the exaggerated, stylised character designs, with the funky organic looking Jedi contrasting nicely with the cold hard steel of their metallic CIS adversaries.
Compared to the heavily compressed cable versions I've experienced the Blu-ray transfers are a revelation. Even the DVD transfers—which actually looked very good for standard-definition material—can't hold a candle to the high-definition versions. Gone is the slightly fuzzy appearance of the upscaled versions, to be replaced by incredibly detailed images with beautiful colour rendition, excellent contrast, and superb black levels. Of course the direct digital-to-digital transfer ensures a virtually flawless presentation, completely free from film artefacts and largely free of digital nastiness. If you look closely you will spot the odd bit of posterisation, but it looks like it's inherent to the source and it's nothing that will seriously hamper your enjoyment. Honestly, there really isn't much to criticise with what is essentially a flawless reproduction of the source material, so I'm not going to nitpick for the sake of it. Trust me, if you are a fan of the show and visually impressive Blu-rays in general you will not be disappointed.
Here's an open question to Warner Brothers: what the hell have you got against lossless audio? I could scarcely believe my eyes when my amp reported Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks for this BD release. I initially thought that the disc might be defaulting to the lossy tracks, as is often the case with Warner titles, but that proved to be an incorrect assumption. There is no TrueHD option on this release and it beggars belief. It's not even because Warner had opted to squeeze everything onto BD25s either, as a quick check of one of the discs revealed a 28.3GB file size. The movie had TrueHD audio, and pretty much every other major TV series has lossless audio of some description, so why not this one? Why is it that just about every other studio has embraced lossless audio and Warner hasn't? I'm sure the company wouldn't dream of putting out BDs with the main features presented in standard-definition video, so why is it acceptable to do so for the audio?
Okay, so now that my rant is out of the way, what is audio quality actually like? Well, on the plus side the Dolby Digital tracks are of the 640Kbps variety, which is a decent step up from the 384Kbps tracks on the individual DVD volumes. (Depending on what you read and who it is written by, Dolby Digital at 640Kbps is of similar quality to DTS at 1.5Mbps.) Another major benefit of having the episodes in 24p is that the soundtracks don't suffer from the PAL speed-up that marred the DVDs. Of course the soundtracks also have a massive advantage by virtue of the fact that Star Wars has some of the best and most instantly recognisable effects in cinematic history, and the tracks do a good job of showcasing everything from the howl of starfighters to the hum of lightsabers (by way of a few million blaster bolts).
While not up there with the best, directionality is much improved over the stand-alone film, with the sound effects and dialogue frequently redirected around the soundstage. Bass is also amped up, and although it's still not quite as fierce as I would have liked there were numerous impressive explosions and that familiar lightsaber hum always sends a shiver down my spine. Of course dialogue is one of the most important elements of an animated series, and thankfully it is never anything other than crystal clear. The soundtrack has a prominent place in the mix, and while the main Star Wars theme is absent there are frequent fan-pleasing nods to iconic cues like 'Yoda's Theme' to be found throughout (and I particularly enjoyed the snippet of Wojciech Kilar's 'Vampire Hunters' that accompanies the appearance of the Malevolence). While not as impressive as the video the Clone Wars soundtracks are still very good, even if the lack of lossless audio is lamentable.
On paper the list of bonus material for the first Clone Wars set looks quite impressive, but the reality is a bit different. The truth is that much of the content is repeated on the discs in a slightly different way, usually by incorporating branching features.
The highlight of the set has to be the production featurettes, of which there are twenty two (one for each episode). These can be selected via an icon that appears next to the episodes in the menus, with each running for an average of five or six minutes and focussing on the specific elements of the particular episode. The main participants are supervising director Dave Filoni, writer Henry Gilroy, sound designer Dave Acord, supervising sound editor (and voice of General Grievous) Matt Wood, and desig and concept artist Kilian Plunkett, who discuss story, design, animation, sound, and much more. Although not particularly long individually there's a good two hours worth of material in total, most of which is pretty interesting (and the short running times help to keep things fresh). All of the featurettes are presented in 1080p and have the added bonus of featuring a few clips from the live action Star Wars films.
When we head over to the extras section of each disc you'll start to understand where I'm coming from when I say that much of the content is repeated. Each of the twenty two featurettes are duplicated here, but with the added 'bonus' of interactive branching elements. At various points throughout the featurettes a Jedi Holocron icon will appear, and by pressing enter on your remote you can access 2D and 3D storyboards, designs, and animatics. This is all well and good, but I found that having to watch with my thumb continually poised over the remote detached me from the viewing experience.
If you don't want to sit through the featurettes again just to view the branching sections you can simply access the 'Jedi Temple Archives', which is a repository of all of the branching content presented in an easy to navigate manner. Again, this is just a clever way of hiding yet more content duplication (and it gets annoying having to watch the same non-skippable intro every time you want to access the archives). However, the archives are a goldmine for anyone interested in the Clone Wars creative process and animation as a whole.
The first disc also includes a sneak peek at season two (including clips from some episodes yet to be screened, in which Obi-Wan appears to have a 'love interest'), along with a trailer for the 'Clone Wars: Republic Heroes' videogame, which was a crushing disappointment.
There are also a number of Easter eggs hidden across the set (I've found three so far). They're not the most difficult to find and the content isn't earth-shattering, but they're worth checking out nonetheless. Details of how to access them can be found in our Easter egg section (accessible by clicking the link in the specs panel). Unfortunately I missed out on the book-style packaging with its sixty-four pages of content, so I can comment on that aspect of the release. Sometime check discs are a double-edged sword…
Visually the series is stunning, and the Blu-ray transfers are equally impressive. Without making too many excuses for the lack of lossless audio I was still impressed by the lossy Dolby tracks, which seemed more dynamic and engaging than those of the movie or DVD releases. I have to admit to being somewhat disappointed with the extras—perhaps because I was expecting commentary tracks and more input from George Lucas—but there's enough here to satisfy most people. It might be a TV show aimed at younger viewers, and I might be far too old for such things, but I really enjoyed revisiting the first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and I can wholeheartedly recommend this release to all fans of the series.

Can't wait to get hold of this. The show was a real grower (once it stopped chasing Grevious around in space) and Season 2 is really uping the game.

I've learned to love the puppet look. And in hi-def I love it even more. I love that the characters look carved, and that some of the colors don't line up, as if they were painted by hand.

Yeah, the paint stroke style is brilliant and I love how in season 2 they've started adding a chrome shine to C3-P0.

Bummer about not having a lossless audio option - you'd have thought that The Bearded One would have insisted on presenting Clone Wars on Blu-Ray with the best audio & video possible.

Crushingly disappointed in the first two episodes, and the 'film' pilot was one of the worst of last year, but I hear so much good from the show as it continues, I think I might pick it up.
Wilson Bros Reviewer Join Date: August 2004 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 1,183
Warner didn't embrace DTS on either SD or Laserdisc, so they obviously have something against anything other than run-of-the-mill audio tracks.
Incidentally, try to take a look at the SKY HD broadcasts of season 2, as they really look very nice indeed.

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered, but I can't find an answer anywhere. Does this include the episodes that made up the film released prior to the series, or does that need to be purchased seperatly?
Chris Gould Editor Join Date: May 2001 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 7,171
The film is a separate entity.

I'm actually a little disappointed that the aspect ratio is 2:35 and not 1:85. But I prefer it to be 2:35 rather then 4:3 fullscreen.
The Bluray is impossible to find in stores here in Minnesota. Target only had the DVD, nothing at the Walmart stores and none of the Best Buy got anything in, looks like there shipment was late. Looking forward to watching it again, I only saw the first half of the series on tv. The first few episodes of S2 as been great.

4:3 hasn't been full screen for years! The 1.78:1 broadcast ratio really compromised the image. It's more readily apparent when you compare them side by side, but once you've seen how much you're missing...

I'm Adriel from Oregon... wife to a handsome Aussie named Ryan (my absolute bestie), momma to a gorgeous baby named Levi (our heart-stealer), and so much more: wanna-be photographer and rockstar, new blogger, bible teacher, lover of movies and writing and music and fashion and sunbathing... decorator extraordinaire (at least that's what my friends say *grin*), world-traveler, a {hopefully} "smart" activist and volunteer, and a pursuer of the ultimate bean burrito washed down with pink lemonade (neither of which I can ever find in Australia where I live - boo).
I blog about motherhood - sometimes the humorous side, sometimes the practical stuff, and sometimes the thought-provoking/inspiring stuff... I hope. {Check it out if you'd like: The Mommyhood Memos} I blog for a creative outlet, for some deliberate "me" time, to get me into the discipline of writing regularly, to grow as a mom, and to build community with other moms to share the journey with.
I love to read all sorts of blogs (decorating, fashion, photography)... but most of all I like baby blogs at the moment. It's just where I'm at!
And you?? Introduce yourself, your blog, and what kinds of blogs you're hoping to find "out there"!

I'm Pam from Cherishing My Reality. I started my blog in January of this year, but didn't really try to 'get things moving' until sometime in June. I'm still working on that, actually! I'm having a lot of fun trying to get my blog to evolve into the elevator pitch I wrote as an assignment in 31 Days to Build a Better Blog. Here it is:
Cherishing My Reality is a blog focused on meeting fellow Christian stay-at-home-moms where they are, and continuing to follow Christ together as we learn to support our husbands and raise our children in a godly manner.
What do you think of it?
Besides blogging, I keep busy with my three little ones (8 months to 4-1/2 years) at home and try to support my husband as best I can. I'm also working on getting a home daycare license so that I can LEGALLY watch a few extra kiddos and throw the money toward our debt snowball.
Come visit me--I love meeting other mommies!

Hi! I'm Jennie, formerly of Washington state, now a Virginian by way of upstate New York (thank you Army!). I'm married to Josiah, my own hero and we've got one little guy, Silas, who's seven months old. When I'm not spending every last moment taking care of Silas (he's a smart but demanding baby) I love to sew, run a small Etsy shop, practice my photography, chat on the phone with my mom, look for frugal ways to make my home look chic, and, of course, blog. I love to read all sorts of blogs, but my favorite are the family kind, and I like to laugh (yet, somehow, my own blog isn't funny at all...I wish it were!). So, stop by, I'd love to meet you, and I'll be checking out more of your blogs as long as Silas gives me a chance!
I am Elisha from Baybee Luv! I am a single, college-attending, working, first time momma! I started my blog a few days before giving birth to my baby girl, Jaliyah. She is now 5 months old and I love writing about all our new experiences, adventures, trials, and more.
Hope to meet some of you there :) Let me know if you stopped by with a comment.
Hi all! Lisa here. I'm a mother of a 13months 'young' little man and I'm a full time working mom here in Asia region, Malaysia!

Matt Smith and his rumored girlfriend Lily James hit up the launch party to celebrate Virgin Atlantic's new Vivienne Westwood uniform collection at Village Underground on Tuesday (July 1) in London, England.
The couple were careful not to be photographed together to avoid further speculation. Also in attendance at the party were Daisy Lowe, Alice Eve, Hayley Atwell, Sadie Frost, Virgin Atlantic's Richard Branson, and Vivienne Westwood herself!
Matt and Lily were also spotted at the same event over the weekend but were careful not to be photographed together.

Pillow Back Sofas: Cozy and Easy to Clean
Pillow back sofas have gotten less love lately, with minimalist lines being more in vogue. While I'm not a fan of an overstuffed sofa, I do favor pillow back sofas for two big reasons. They are the most comfortable style for long term sitting. And with both the back and seat cushions being zippered, they are easy to remove and clean, making it easy to keep them looking new for years. You'll love this if you have children, pets, or are kinda messy.
All of the five sofas featured here are loveseats, making them small space friendly for the nursery, bedroom and living room. (Pillow back cushions are also commonly available for full length sofas as well as armchairs.)

Study: More people leaving state than moving in
Study: State has highest outbound percentage
Kevin McNamara has worked 30 years in the moving business. You don't have to tell him that people are more likely to pack up and leave Connecticut than come here.
This past year, the branch manager of Danbury's Certified Van Service of Connecticut says, his truckers relocated about 100 families from the Hartford area to Charlotte, N.C., and from Fairfield County to Atlanta.
Their jobs had discovered cheaper pastures.
"That was a good piece of business for us," McNamara said. "It's keeping a lot of people busy."
In fact, Connecticut is keeping a lot of movers busy -- that is, if you put much stock in a study published this week by Certified Van's parent network, Atlas Van Lines.
The Evansville, Ind., company issued its 21st annual report on whether its customers who've moved across state lines were exiting or entering each respective state. According to the "2013 Migration Patterns" study, the Nutmeg State is the country's laggard in luring residents.
In fact, of the 2,055 customers Atlas moved in or out of Connecticut, 60 percent of them headed elsewhere -- creating an "outbound ratio" that edged out New York and Indiana (both 59 percent) as the most unbecoming state.
On the other hand, 67 percent of Atlas' customers crossing the North Dakota line were making new homes. The "inbound rate" was also high for North Carolina (60 percent) and Texas (58 percent), rounding out the top three.
"We track these moves to make sure we have capacity and agencies and services in the right places in the country," said Aaron Chenoweth, a marketing specialist at Atlas, in a phone interview Friday.
Chenoweth called the study "not that strong of an indicator" about what's going on in the U.S. economy, but nonetheless, a "significant" one. What struck him this year, he said, was that most states were pretty balanced in terms of residents moving in and out.
Still, the report offers a narrow window into demographic trends and it's of questionable use to researchers and policy makers. The data also offers inconsistencies of scope. For instance, Atlas moved 343 customers in or out of North Dakota, but 14,505 in or out of California for a 53 percent "inbound rate."
There are inconsistencies of location, too. Atlas' nearly 400 U.S. agencies, including Certified Van Service of Connecticut, are not evenly distributed geographically. Nor does Atlas have a monopoly on the moving industry, or data on how many people actually moved in each relocation.
"I'm not sure what to do with a single moving company's data," said Andy Condon, director of the Office of Research at the Connecticut Department of Labor.
Condon said he'd rather study the U.S. Census' decennial report on migration patterns to judge how Connecticut stacks up in the competition for residents.
By that measure, Connecticut isn't doing so badly. Between 2000 and 2010, the state's population actually grew by 4.9 percent to about 3.57 million -- although, to be fair, the national growth rate was about twice that high and Texas' population ballooned by 21 percent to 25.1 million.
Still, Condon granted of the Atlas study: "It's interesting."
For Kevin Kaster, president and owner of Kaster Moving in Stamford, the study confirms one trend he's recently experienced.
"Texas has been a hotspot the last two years, no question," he said. "An inordinate amount of people from around here are going to Texas."
Brielle Sollinger, assistant marketing manager at Fallon Moving and Storage in Windsor, agreed.
"Texas is big. We also do lots of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina," she said in a phone interview Friday afternoon.
Keys tapped on the other end of the phone. "Hold on," she said. "I'm pulling up reports."
Retirees, Sollinger concluded, are probably the state's biggest source of out-migration.
"I think we put a lot more people in Florida than anything else," she said.

Is it just me, or has Nightstar gone kaput? I'm suffering from serious withdrawal, here. How am I supposed to continue rubbing elbows with other artists so I can leech off of their talent and/or popularity in the future? How can I continue to draw when I don't have anybody telling me how wonderful my artwork is, even if they're just being polite? What else could I possibly do to distract me from getting any real work done?
Will the #4toontellers be moving to another home, temporarily or otherwise? Life just isn't the same without Scrubbo making thinly veiled passes at me, and Joe telling me to shut up.

Are the Markets Staring at a Massive Plunge?
Is the Dow Jones Industrial Average past its peak after a record run?
After a steep climb to the top of the hill, major U.S. stock indexes, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSEARCA:DIA) and the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY), have recently reached record highs. Will the climb continue or is the stock market at the top of the roller coaster and about to take a historic plunge?
More and more signs point to a plunge for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and major indexes rather than a continued climb. Here's why:
1. Excessively bullish sentiment: The Investment Company Institute reports that inflows to mutual funds from retail investors are running at high levels, with $1.05 billion coming in the week ending February 27 and a whopping $5.02 billion during the week of March 20 as mom and pop investors scramble to buy stocks after missing most of the recent rally.
The Investment Company Institute also reports that the total assets of all stock-based mutual funds climbed from $5.93 trillion in December of 2012 to $6.29 trillion in February of 2013 — and that was before the record-setting highs.
2. Deteriorating economic fundamentals: The impact of the budget sequester is now being illustrated by the recent jump in unemployment claims, as well as the disappointing payrolls reports from ADP and — most recently — the closely-watched non-farm payrolls report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on April 5, which was an unmitigated disaster.
The Institute for Supply Management's March 2013 reading declined 2.9 percent from February's 54.2 for a reading of 51.3 during March. The ISM also reported that its March Non-Manufacturing Index fell as well, missing expectations, to join previous disappointments in recent PMI reports…
3. Contrarian bullishness: Dr. Alan Greenspan, often called the "ultimate contrarian indicator" by many analysts, appeared on CNBC on March 15 to say that he would not use the term "irrational exuberance" to describe the current level of investor enthusiasm. Dr. Greenspan described stocks as "significantly undervalued". This remark set off alarm bells with many commentators and investors and those bells continued as Meredith Whitney chimed in on CNBC, saying, "I have not been this constructive and bullish on US equities in my career." Such "uber bullishness" has oftentimes proven to be a good sell signal for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other major stock indexes.
4. Sell in May and Go Away: Regular readers of the StockTraders Almanac are familiar with the maxim "Sell in May and go away". This doctrine is based on the fact that the period between October and May is the time of year when most gains are made in the stock market, with the five-month period of May through September being negative or flat.As we move into April's showers, May's "flowers" are just days away.
5. Bond market warnings: The bond market has not been behaving in a way that would confirm the recent rally in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other major U.S. stock indexes.
chart courtesy of StockCharts.com
In this chart of the S&P 500 and 10-Year Treasury Bond yield (NYSEARCA:IEF) we can see how the two have decoupled as bond yields have been dropping while the stock market has been climbing.
This is not the normal configuration of these two indexes and so it's likely that one of them is wrong and will have to correct to eliminate this divergence.The bond market is usually considered to be "smarter" than the stock market and so this would point to the possibility of a significant correction ahead for the S&P 500.
Bottom line: Overall, current conditions bring us a combination of deteriorating macroeconomic fundamentals, contrarian indicators, negative technical data as well as the time-honored, seasonal admonition to "sell in May and go away." Added together, it's easy to conclude that major U.S. indexes like the Dow and S&P 500 may have, indeed, reached the top of the roller coaster and are about to take a significant plunge.

Hope Mirrlees (1887-1978) was an author of novels, poems, and translations. However, she is most remembered for her circle of literary friends, which included T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and Lady Ottoline Morrell. She published two novels, Lud-in-the-Mist and Counterplot, and a book of poetry, Moods and Tensions: Poems. She began, but never completed, a biography of seventeenth-century British antiquarian Sir Robert Bruce Cotton; part of this was published as A Fly in Amber in 1962. With Jane Harrison, she produced two translations of Russian literature, The Life of the Archpriest Avvakum by Himself and The Book of the Bear. Her papers consist solely of correspondence; significant correspondents include T. S. Eliot, Ottoline Morrell, Virginia Woolf, and Leonard Woolf.

Historical Note
Hope Mirrlees (1887-1978), author of novels, poems and translations, is also remembered for her distinguished literary friends, including T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf and Lady Ottoline Morrell. Her 1926 novel, Lud-in-the-Mist, has been recognized by science fiction critics as an outstanding example of English fantasy writing. Her work, however, has been overshadowed by the great literary men and women of post-World-War-I Britain with whom she associated.
Helen Hope Mirrlees was born in England in 1887, the daughter of William J. Mirrlees, a wealthy sugar merchant, and Emily Lena Moncrieff. Her elder sister, Margot, married into the landed gentry of Oxfordshire, and her younger brother, William, was a professional soldier who later became a major general. Mirrlees spent part of her childhood in South Africa and received her early education from a French governess. She returned to England to finish her education at St. Leonard's School in St. Andrews, Scotland. Mirrlees abandoned her early theatrical ambitions to study classics at Newnham College of Cambridge University. Jane Harrison, a Greek scholar and lecturer in classical archaeology at the college, became Mirrlees's friend and mentor, and together they travelled to Paris in 1915 to study Russian. Also at Newnham College, Mirrlees met Karin Costelloe, later studying French with her in Paris. Costelloe married Virginia Woolf's brother, Adrian Stephen, in October 1914. Through this association, Mirrlees became acquainted with Woolf.
Woolf and Mirrlees met in 1917 and remained acquaintances through the 1930s. Woolf described Mirrlees in a March 22, 1919, diary entry:
[Mirrlees is] a very self conscious, wilful, prickly & perverse young woman, rather conspicuously well dressed & pretty, with a view of her own about books & style, an aristocratic & conservative tendency in opinion, & a corresponding taste for the beautiful & elaborate in literature. . . . She uses a great number of French words, which she pronounces exquisitely; she seems capricious in her friendships, & no more to be marshalled with the long goose wand which I can sometimes apply to people than a flock of bright green parrokeets.
Woolf asked Mirrlees to correspond with her; Mirrlees responded, "O no. I can't write to people" ( Diary, March 22, 1919). In a January 1919 diary entry, Woolf included Mirrlees on a list of those she considered friends, and Mirrlees spent a weekend with the Woolfs at their country home, Asheham, in September 1919.
Woolf seems to have had ambivalent feelings about Mirrlees's writing. In 1919, she reluctantly reviewed Mirrlees's first novel, Madeleine: One of Love's Jansenists, for the Times Literary Supplement. The review disappointed Mirrlees who had spent several years working on the book and had difficulty getting the work published. However, Leonard and Virginia Woolf requested a story from Mirrlees to be published by their own house, Hogarth Press. Mirrlees produced a poem, Paris, which Virginia Woolf pronounced, "obscure, indecent and brilliant" ( Letters of Virginia Woolf, 385), and in May 1920 the poem became one of the first works published by Hogarth Press.
Mirrlees also was acquainted with one of the foremost literary hostesses of the early twentieth century, Lady Ottoline Morrell. Lady Morrell's circle of friends, including Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Bertrand Russell and Aldous Huxley, were known as the Bloomsbury Group. As early as 1919, Mirrlees visited the Morrell home during her stays in London and remained a close acquaintance of Lady Morrell for almost twenty years.
In 1922, Mirrlees moved to Paris with Jane Harrison. Together, they produced two Russian translations. The Life of the Archpriest Avvakum by Himself (Hogarth Press, 1924) was the first English translation of the earliest autobiography written in the Russian language. Their second collaborative translation was The Book of the Bear (1926), a collection of Russian folk tales about bears. Leonard and Virginia Woolf visited Mirrlees and Harrison in Paris in 1923, and Mirrlees continued to make frequent trips back to England to visit her friends and family. She produced two other novels, Counterplot (1924) and Lud-in-the-Mist (1926), both of which received generally favorable reviews. Mirrlees returned to England after the death of Jane Harrison in 1928 and rented an apartment in London.
Lud-in-the-Mist was Mirrlees's last novel. Shortly after its publication she began researching what was to become her lifework, a biography of seventeenth-century British antiquarian, Sir Robert Bruce Cotton. One volume of this work, entitled A Fly in Amber, was published in 1962 by Faber and Faber. T. S. Eliot, a director of Faber and Faber, took close interest in Mirrlees's progress. Their relationship grew from a professional acquaintance into a close personal friendship. Eliot boarded at Shamley Green, the Mirrlees family home near Surrey, to escape London during World War II and corresponded regularly with Hope and her mother even after the war. Eliot wrote to Mirrlees that "it may be that I did there what will be regarded as my best work" (December 7, 1952).
After her mother's death in the late 1940s, Mirrlees travelled to Paris, Egypt and eventually Cape Town, South Africa. She lived in Cape Town for the next eleven years and continued to work on A Fly in Amber. In the biography, Mirrlees digresses into a survey of seventeenth-century British society, science and culture. Mirrlees never completed a proposed second volume to this work. Instead, her last work was a small book of poems entitled Moods and Tensions: Poems (1965). Mirrlees returned to England sometime before 1974, where she died in 1978.

Her novels included To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway; and her essay A Room of One's Own is considered a classic feminist work. Woolf also served as a frequent reviewer for the Times Literary Supplement, and she and her husband Leonard launched a small literary publishing house, the Hogarth Press, in 1917.
This series contains six autograph letters and postcards from Virginia and Leonard Woolf to Hope Mirrlees. All were written solely by Virginia Woolf except one letter written by Leonard Woolf, with an added postscript from Virginia, expressing condolences on the death of Mirrlees's mentor, Jane Harrison. Other letters address "Solid Objects" and Jacob's Room by Virginia Woolf; Mirrlees's writing, including a proposed play; social engagements; and mutual acquaintances. The correspondence is arranged chronologically.

Series 4: Miscellaneous Correspondence, 1946 and 1974 (2 items)
This series consists of two pieces of correspondence, one autograph letter from Hope Mirrlees to Mrs. L. H. Cohn and one picture postcard addressed to T. S. Eliot from an unknown sender. The letter is dated May 1, 1974, and concerns the sale of Mirrlees's papers. The postcard may be from a member of Eliot's family, since in 1946 his brother resided in Cambridge. The postcard contains a newspaper clipping concerning a request from Poland for 4,000 cats to control a rodent problem; a handwritten notation under the clipping reads "practical cats." These items have been arranged chronologically.

Reuters Steps Up; Says Linking, Excerpting, Sharing Are Good Things For The News
from the good-for-them dept
The Internet isn't killing the news business any more than TV killed radio or radio killed the newspaper. Incumbent business leaders in news haven't been keeping up. Many leaders continue to help push the business into the ditch by wasting "resources" (management speak for talented people) on recycling commodity news. Reader habits are changing and vertically curated views need to be meshed with horizontal read-around ones.Exactly. There's been too much misdirected blame placed on the internet, even though the internet has never been the problem. Not keeping up with what readers want is where the mistakes have been made.
Blaming the new leaders or aggregators for disrupting the business of the old leaders, or saber-rattling and threatening to sue are not business strategies -- they are personal therapy sessions. Go ask a music executive how well it works.
I believe in the link economy. Please feel free to link to our stories -- it adds value to all producers of content. I believe you should play fair and encourage your readers to read-around to what others are producing if you use it and find it interesting.That's basically exactly what I had suggested Reuters say... so that's great. Once again, this makes me want to look for Reuters alternatives to any AP story I happen to come across.
I don't believe you could or should charge others for simply linking to your content. Appropriate excerpting and referencing are not only acceptable, but encouraged.
Of course, I don't agree with everything Ahearn has to say, though I do agree with the overall spirit of what he's saying. He talks about the need to agree "on a code of conduct and ethics." I'm not against the concept, I just don't see how it's possible or even necessary. These things tend to sort themselves out. Players who are "bad actors" become obvious over time. Good players get rewarded for it, and you deal with some questionable players on the margin. Rather than worrying about what everyone else is doing, why not just focus on providing more value yourself?
Then there's this:
Let's identify how we can birth it and agree what is "fair use" or "fair compensation" and have a conversation about how we can work together to fuel a vibrant, productive and trusted digital news industry. Let's identify business models that are inclusive and that create a win-win relationship for all parties.The thing is, the law says what's fair use, not any voluntary agreement. And "fair compensation" isn't determined by everyone chatting (that could be seen as collusion, actually), but in the market actually doing deals. I'm all for discussions on positive business models that are inclusive and create win-win relationships. That's why we highlight examples of that all the time around here. But I don't think discussing good business models means getting an entire industry to agree to use them ahead of time. For better or for worse (well, I'd argue for better), the world just doesn't work that way. The win-win business models are being developed already -- and that's great. Let's keep looking at those success stories, and pull out the important lessons from them -- but that doesn't mean everyone "agreeing" to things beforehand. Unfortunately, that's just not going to happen. There are too many vested interests to make it work. But the nice thing is that those who don't figure it out get swept out with the tide.

Sir Alex Ferguson consulted Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs before signing Robin van Persie to see whether his arrival would have a negative impact on the Manchester United dressing room, according to coach Rene Meulensteen.
The former Arsenal captain has been in sensational form for the Red Devils since moving to Old Trafford in the summer, leading the Premier League goalscoring charts with 18 strikes as United top the table five points clear of last season's champions Manchester City.
However, Meulensteen suggests the deal for Van Persie only got the go-ahead once both he and the Scottish manager were sure the squad would be able to deal with the arrival of a high-profile player from a rival side.
"The players at United never saw Robin as an intruder," he told reporters. "The boss and I tested that before we made a move for him. We dropped Robin's name with Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.
"We said to them, 'What would you think if Robin van Persie comes here?' They both said the same thing. They both thought it would be outrageous if Robin came to United - and later so did all the other players.
"The reason we discussed it with Ryan and Paul is because they stand for the culture of Manchester United in the dressing room. They keep that culture and protect it.
"Robin is an absolute professional. He's a fantastic trainer and he delivers on the pitch.
"That creates a security for players. They feel nothing bad can happen to them because we have got Robin van Persie. We really missed that kind of influence last season."
The coach hailed the Netherlands striker's talents, praising his ability to find space and make things happen when the pressure is on, which rubs off on the rest of the squad.
"Robin has a phenomenal eye for free space," he continued. "I don't know another player who creates space for himself so well.
"He gives the team an invincible feeling. They think 'We've got Van Persie. With him we are always going to score. We can always give him the ball and he will always do something magical with it.'"
And after being edged out by neighbours City on goal difference in the Premier League last year, Meulensteen states it was necessary for United to get another world-class player to push them on to the next level.
"It was time for Manchester United to have a big-name player like Robin van Persie again," he added. "In the last few seasons, we had squeezed everything out of our star players and last season we were just not good enough.
"He's a really world-class act. As one of the biggest clubs in the world we really needed a player like him.
"All Robin is focused on is success - he has a massive desire to win. I know because he could have earned so much more money elsewhere."

Game One Box Score
Game Two Box Score
LONG BEACH, Calif. - Long Beach State (25-17, 6-4) held UC Santa Barbara (21-20, 4-7) scoreless through 14 innings of play on Saturday as the 49ers captured a pair of Big West Conference wins at 49er Softball Complex during a televised doubleheader on ESPNU.
At the bottom of the first inning of the first game, Danielle Linke led off with a triple to center field that was fueled by a wind blowing towards left field.
Ashley Weber singled to left center on the next play, driving Linke home for the first run of the game. The Gauchos retired the next three batters in order to hold the 49ers to just a 1-0 lead.
Amanda Ziegler led off at the top of the second with the first Gaucho base hit of the game, hit to a gap between the third baseman and shortstop. She was then bunted over to second with a sacrifice from Jessica Beristianos. A ground out by Katie McWhirter during the next at-bat allowed Ziegler to reach third with two outs.
Unfortunately for the Gauchos, Brooke Turner posted her first strikeout of the game to end the inning.
At the bottom of the third, Jennifer Griffin reached first on an error by third baseman Amanda Ziegler with two outs. A wild pitch during the ensuing at-bat allowed Griffin to advance to second and a single to left center field by Brandy Reyes drove her home for the unearned run, giving LBSU a 2-0 lead.
Linke's luck continued for Long Beach at the bottom of the fifth when she led off with a solo homer over the left field fence to push the 49ers' advantage to 3-0. Ashley Weber followed with a single and then Griffin doubled to left field, putting a pair of runners in scoring position with no outs.
Krista Cobb came in to pitch for MeLinda Matsumoto and gave up a RBI single to Reyes before retiring the next seven batters she faced in order.
The Gauchos managed just one more hit during the game - a two-out single by Jessica Ziegler at the top of the sixth - as Long Beach State held on for the win. Pitcher Brooke Turner (14-9) captured the win after tossing the complete game two-hitter. She allowed just two walks and struck out three.
Matsumoto took the loss (2-8) after giving up four runs - three earned - on eight hits. She walked none and struck out two. Cobb allowed just one hit and struck out two in her two innings of relief.
In the second game of the twin bill, Long Beach once again struck first when Bridgette Pagano led off the bottom of the second inning with a solo homer over the left field fence to gain a 1-0 advantage.
At the top of the fifth, Brooke Putich walked with one out and then stole second. Christine Ramos then reached on an error by the 49er first baseman, who bobbled the ball that Ramos hit down the right field line. During the play, Putich made the mad dash towards home and would have scored if it had not been for an impressive play at the plate by catcher Brandy Reyes. A ground out during the next play ended the inning with Long Beach still leading, 1-0.
Long Beach pitcher Taylor Petty retired the last six Gauchos in order to carry the 49ers to the victory.
Petty pitched the complete game two-hitter to improve to 11-4 on the season. She walked two and struck out four in the victory.
Cobb (14-7) pitched the complete game for the Gauchos. She allowed just one run on six hits while walking six and striking out two.
Ramos and Jackie Conlin accounted for the Gauchos' two hits in the game.
Long Beach left a total of 11 runners stranded and ended the first three innings with the bases loaded during the second game of the day.
The Gauchos and 49ers will conclude their three-game Big West series on Sunday with a 1 p.m. game at 49er Softball Complex.

A Brief History of the University
Philadelphia University was founded in 1884 as the Philadelphia Textile School in the wake of the 1876 Centennial Exposition. A group of textile manufacturers, led by Theodore Search, noticed a sizeable gap between the quality and variety of American textile products and those displayed by European mills. To address this, the group established the School to educate America's textile workers and managers.
Several years later, the School affiliated with the Pennsylvania Museum (now the Philadelphia Museum of Art) and School of Industrial Art. By the mid-1890's, the School had settled at Broad and Pine streets in downtown Philadelphia. It survived the Depression and entered a new period of growth at the outset of World War II. In 1941, the School was granted the right to award baccalaureate degrees and changed its name to the Philadelphia Textile Institute (PTI).
By 1949, PTI, which was no longer affiliated with the museum, began conducting classes at its present site in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. Throughout the 1950's, it continued to grow, and, in 1961, changed its name to Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science.
The student population doubled from 1954 to 1964, and again by 1978. Programs in the arts and sciences and business administration were added. The College purchased an adjoining property in 1972, doubling the size of its campus.
As Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science, the institution offered its first graduate degree, the Master of Business Administration, in 1976. With the purchase of properties in 1980 and 1988, the size of the campus nearly doubled again and grew to include additional classrooms, research laboratories, student residences and athletic facilities. In 1992, the 54,000-square-foot Paul J. Gutman Library was built.
The College continued throughout the '90's to provide its students with the highest-quality education and real-world experience demanded by their chosen professions, adding majors in a wide range of fields. To better reflect the institution's breadth and depth, the College applied for and was granted university status by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1999. And, in a historic move, the Board of Trustees voted to change the School's name to Philadelphia University on July 13, 1999.
The University now has three colleges and three schools, including the Colleges of Architecture and the Built Environment; the Kanbar College of Design, Engineering and Commerce; the College of Science, Health and the Liberal Arts; the School of Design and Engineering (part of Kanbar College); the School of Business (part of Kanbar College); and the School of Continuing and Professional Studies.

Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair in Pink (PNK)
The Trend Collection by Stokke includes 4 fashion colors that were chosen to stand out from the Classic Collection. The TRIPP TRAPP® is a sturdy children's chair that grows with your child. It lifts them up so they can be included in activities around the table. Children love interacting with the family. The dining table is more than a place for mealtimes. It's for playing, homework or simply just talking, enjoying quality time together. A child sitting at the same height as an adult at a table stimulates the development of confidence. We believe that life around the table is incredibly important. As an adult, we have the luxury of being able to rest our feet on the floor, allowing us to move freely to get comfortable. For your child, there is no such luxury. TRIPP TRAPP® therefore features a unique, adjustable footrest that brings the floor up to your child. This creates better balance and comfort, as your child can easily shift their weight. By sitting with the feet supported and elbows at table height, your child can move easier and naturally, and use their body without strain. It's all about support, balance and movement. Features: Adjust to be used when a child is ready to sit on his own (around 6 months) through adulthood. Holds up to 300 Lbs. Five-point safety harness. Seat and footrest are adjustable to the size of your child. Ergonomically designed to provide stability, comfort and confidence. Made of cultivated beechwood, providing strong, solid and durable product. Meets US and international safety standards. JPMA certified. 7-year warranty on all wooden components. H 31" x D 19.25" x W 18" Add-On Items Purchased Separately TRIPP TRAPP® Baby set in 11 colors matching TRIPP TRAPP® highchair colors.

Who says the open source and Free software world only copy but never innovate? Over at Canonical's design blog - you know, the company which does nothing for the Linux world *cough* - someone named Christian Giordano has shared some ideas about how Ubuntu - and therefore, the rest of the Linux world - could make use of hardware sensors to better serve its users. Pretty interesting stuff.

Well, here's one Ubuntu idea (albeit, a bit old one now) that I wouldn't like to see turned into reality:
"Canonical believes that in the near future, GNU/Linux users that are currently spread among a plethora of distributions will be concentrated around 2 or 3 main distributions."
That's the vision about the future of GNU/Linux that Canonical representatives have communicated to one of their derivative distros about half a decade ago. Maybe Canonical have changed their vision in the last five years but, unfortunately, I don't see too many signs that they have.

Leaving aside the fact that forty isn't really old enough to be a cougar (sigh) and young men are stooopid, I CAN'T WAIT to see the new reality show "The Cougar," brought to us by the classy love pimps from "The Bachelor."
Stacey and Vivica. Yes, that does look like a bed behind them. Scary.
Hosted by the terrifying Vivica A. Fox -- would you talk back to her? I didn't think so -- this show is filled with shame pleasures.
Cougar Stacey Anderson is (0nly!) 40. She has four children -- yeah, a MILF. She's a real estate lady from Arizona who had over $50 million in sales her first year. Believe me, you'll recognize her: tiny, blonde, frozen face, pushy.
For some reason (maybe because it's cheaper than renting 100 billboards, in the desert, with giant real estate ads that feature her headshot?) Stacey has agreed to date a house full of 20 idiots in their 20s, all with untucked shirts, hard bodies and flaccid minds. Mmmm, sounds dreamy. Not.
To be fair, the divorced 23 y.o. pool boy from Austin and the former Marine both tucked in their shirts. The rest? See for yourself.
Stacey's on Twitter and Facebook. And oh yeah, I'm following her. I mean, I'm following the minion from the Mean Gay Producers Mafia who's been assigned to write her updates.

New Zealand target rugby Sevens record
New Zealand can become the first team to win the same leg of the International Rugby Board Sevens World Series for a fourth consecutive time when the South African round takes place in Port Elizabeth.
No other team has achieved this feat since the tournament started in 1999.
England won the Hong Kong leg from 2002 to 2004 and New Zealand retained the title at home from 2003 to 2005, but in South Africa they'll gun for their fourth.
The Kiwis will also want to recover from their 26-15 defeat agains Samoa in last week's Dubai final.
"You've got 16 pretty tough teams now; there's no easy games," said coach Gordon Tietjens ahead of Saturday's start.
He was less than pleased with the draw that put them in a pool featuring first leg winners Fiji — who triumphed in Australia — England and Scotland, which he called "ridiculous".
Each side plays its three opponents once with pool winners and runners-up advancing to the Cup quarter-finals Saturday when there will also be Plate, Bowl and Shield silverware up for grabs.
New Zealand lead the series without any title, having bowed to Samoa in Dubai and Fiji in October. The two victors are so far placed joint-second with Kenya in the standings with 32 points.
Hosts South Africa want to save face after crashing out against Portugal last weekend.
Last year's runners-up at the 45,000-seat Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium have included former IRS Sevens Player of the Year Cecil Afrika in their squad after a knee injury kept him from traveling to Dubai.
Ironically their hopes rested on Afrika last year as well after a rib injury prevented him from traveling to Emirates then.
"We know the fans expect us to do well and we will do our best not to disappoint them. It's nice to have Cecil back because he is such an important player for us," said coach Paul Treu.
Blitzbokke captain Kyle Brown is out of action with a broken ankle and will be replaced by Frankie Horne, who'll play his 44th World Series tournament.
His team are in Pool A with Samoa, France, and Australia.
Kenya, Wales, Argentina and Spain square off in Pool C.
Pool D will see Portugal, Canada, the United States and Zimbabwe compete for finalist positions.

4. Ulysses S. Grant: U.S. Grant is best known for being a hard fighting (and hard drinking) Civil War general and later a scandal-plagued president. His advocacy of church-state separation is less well known.
Grant had his share of problems during his presidency, but on the issue of church-state separation he showed true leadership. Sadly, this tends to get overlooked today.
During Grant's presidency, the concept of tax-supported public education began to slowly spread across the nation. More and more states were adopting laws establishing public schools and even mandating attendance. But there was a problem: People could not agree on what role religion should play in the schools.
In 1844, there were riots in Philadelphia between Catholics and Protestants over what version of the Bible would be read in schools. Tensions simmered for years. Protestants insisted that since they were the majority in the country, the schools should reflect their theology. Catholics fumed that their rights were being violated and proposed that the federal government give them money to start their own schools that would inculcate Catholicism.
Views: 154
Just read this article. Gotta say, everyone needs to read it! Grant's speech makes the piece above, and the other four are even better. Thanks for sharing!
In his speech, Grant said [Let us] "Resolve that neither the state nor nation, nor both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford to every child growing up in the land the opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan or atheistic dogmas."
He is clearly attempting to reassure the audience that schools will be a neutral environment promoting no belief systems at all. I'd like to know what was considered atheistic dogma in that day. It sounds like the predicessor to "Militant atheist". I wonder if it was the same at that time.
Bear in mind that President Grant is not the most beloved of presidents in Dixie, though, also the buckle of the Bible Belt.

Hopkinsville's old clock tower is part of the old firehouse building, now the Woody Winfree Fire and Transportation Museum. The clocks have been repaired recently and the tower has been painted. With the evening sun on it, it's a jewel in the skyline.
The brick building in the foreground houses the Christian County Historical Society's and county historian William Turner's offices. It is the old Standard Mill Supply building, and it stands next door to the firehouse and clock tower.
We have quite a few brick buildings in downtown Hopkinsville with old advertisements painted on them. I enjoy them, but that sentiment is not universal. Someone complained recently on the Hoptown Hall forum that the fading painted ads on Hopkinsville's old downtown buildings make the town look tacky.
I took these photos through the car window at the corner of Liberty and 9th as I waited for the stoplight to change. Stoplights often give me the chance to get a picture that I'd never stand in the street to take.
