Lenovo on Thursday announced ThinkPad laptops with cutting-edge technologies including Intel's upcoming third-generation Core processors and the Thunderbolt interconnect, which is currently found only on Apple laptops.
The laptops include the ThinkPad X1 Hybrid, which Lenovo said is its thinnest ThinkPad yet. Another new laptop, the ThinkPad S430, will be Lenovo's first laptop to include Thunderbolt, an interconnect technology that rivals USB 3.0.
The new ThinkPads are also among the first laptops introduced with Intel's upcoming third-generation Core processors, which have not yet been officially announced. Intel has said laptops with processors based on a microarchitecture code-named Ivy Bridge would be available in the first half of this year. The chips will succeed current Core processors code-named Sandy Bridge, and should bring longer battery life and better graphics to laptops.
The X1 Hybrid, targeted at business users, is priced at US$1,599 and will become available in some countries during the second quarter of this year. The laptop, which weighs less than 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms), will be shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from Jan. 10 to Jan. 13.
A new feature in the X1 Hybrid is the Instant Media Mode in which the laptop can switch from Windows to a low-power mode used in tablets to extend battery life. The laptop battery can run for up to 10 hours on a single charge. The Instant Media Mode is enabled by an open-source OS and a Qualcomm co-processor sitting alongside the Intel processor. The mode is somewhat similar to what Dell has offered in the past, a quick-boot feature in laptops based on the Linux OS and an ARM co-processor.
"You can switch between the Instant Media Mode and the Windows environment and during Instant Media Mode you can watch videos, pictures, listen to music, browse the Web in this low power mode," said Dilip Bhatia, vice president of the ThinkPad business unit.
The Thunderbolt-equipped ThinkPad Edge S430 comes with a 14-inch screen and will be available in June starting at $749. The laptop will be available in select markets, but not in the U.S., a company spokesperson said.
Intel last year said that Thunderbolt would reach PCs this year, starting with Acer and Asus. Sony also is a known backer of Thunderbolt.
Lenovo also announced the first ThinkPad T430U ultrabook, which will be priced starting at $849. The thin light laptop weighs less than 4 pounds, and will be available in June with up to third-generation Core i7 processors, 1TB of storage and optional Nvidia graphics.
Intel is trying to promote ultrabooks as a way to regenerate interest in laptops, shipments of which are falling due to the rise of tablets. Companies like Hewlett-Packard and Asus have already shipped ultrabooks based on current Core processors.
Other laptops announced include the ThinkPad E430 and E530, which have 14-inch and 15.6-inch screens respectively, and will come with Intel third-generation Core processors or Advanced Micro Devices processors. These laptops, which begin at $549, do not include Thunderbolt ports.

Molecular Flow in an Ion-Implant Vacuum System
Application ID: 10011
The Ion Implanter Evaluator app considers the design of an ion implantation system. Ion implantation is used extensively in the semiconductor industry to implant dopants into wafers.
Within an ion implanter, ions generated within an ion source are accelerated by an electric field to achieve the desired implant energy. Ions of the correct charge state are selected by means of a separation magnet, which bends the ion beam to ensure that ions of a particular charge-to-mass ratio are the only ones that reach the wafer. The energy dose and angle of the ion beam are both key parameters for the process.
The app allows the user to change the angle of the wafer as well as the molecular weight of the outgassing species, the outgassing rate, and the surface temperature. The cryo- and turbopump speeds can also be adjusted.
The number density, pressure, molecular flux, as well as the average number density along the beam line can be visualized.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.

Do you often hear yourself saying, "When such and such happens, then I'll be happy"? Why wait for happiness when it's available to you right now, at this moment?
A friend of mine once had a small part in a Broadway musical that starred a legendary figure of the British stage. The script was a disaster, the director a tyrant, the cast a freakish assemblage of mismatched personalities. Everyone in the production seemed permanently on edge. Everyone, that is, except the Englishman.
One night over drinks, my friend asked the actor for his secret. "Dear boy, I'm a contented man," he explained. "You see, I have a boat. I keep it docked at the 72nd Street Pier, and every few days I take the boat out for a sail. When I'm on the water, all the stress just blows away."
A few years later, my friend ran into the Englishman on the street. The actor had changed dramatically: He looked drained, thin, and sad. When my friend asked if anything was wrong, the Englishman explained that he'd recently been divorced.
When my friend offered his condolences, the Englishman only gave a hollow laugh. "Oh, the divorce isn't the problem," he said. "The real problem is, my wife got the boat."
In recounting this story, my friend likes to say that it needs no commentary. Most of us know all too well how it feels to lose something or someone we thought was the source of our contentment. What's worse, we also know how it feels to go out on our own version of that boat, only to discover that suddenly it fails to bring us the contentment we'd relied on it for. And everything—be it a boat, a relationship, a house, a job, or money—that lies outside of our own selves will eventually cease to satisfy.
Clinical psychologists call this the problem of the hedonic treadmill. Suppose you win the lottery, marry your beloved, take your company public, publish your novel to universal acclaim. You feel great for a while. Then, little by little, your prize becomes part of the furniture and you find yourself looking for another hit. That's because, according to some recent studies, we all have something called a "happiness set point," an internal default setting that we inevitably return to, regardless of life's rewards or setbacks. In other words, a person who is chronically depressed will settle back to his or her normal down mood even when everything seems to be going well, while an optimist will tend toward good cheer even in the midst of sickness or disaster.
Yet some psychologists, most notably Martin Seligman in his books Learned Optimism and Authentic Happiness, argue against the existence of an unalterable set point. Seligman maintains that working with our own thoughts and feelings can radically change our capacity for contentment—without the need for us to resort to Prozac.
The key word here is working. Seligman's underlying point—and here, psychology aligns itself with the wisdom tradition of yoga—is that contentment is something that has to be practiced.
Most of us know how to practice discontentment. We routinely sabotage our good moods by worrying about the future; bitching about our bosses; comparing our achievements, looks, and body weight with those of others; or telling ourselves negative stories about our lives and relationships. The yogic practices for getting to contentment are simply tactics for reversing these tendencies, for retraining our minds to view life from a different perspective. And these techniques are universally applicable—they can work for you whether you practice yoga or not.
Step One: Stop and Focus
One of the watershed moments in my own journey toward contentment happened in 1980. I was about to give a presentation to several thousand people when, at the last minute, I was asked to change my talk. The change made me late for my own program and very nervous. As I raced down the hallway toward the audience, I could feel my heart thumping, my breath thready with fear. My mind began a familiar spiral into despair—I knew I'd never pull off the presentation in that state. I was in a near panic.
Then, out of nowhere, I realized that it wasn't necessary for me to give in to my panic. I stopped in the middle of the hallway and began to coach myself. "Breathe," I told myself. "You're fine. Even if you do mess this up, you'll still be a good person."
This was such an unexpected thought that it almost didn't compute—like most overachievers, I fully believed that my self-esteem could not survive a failure. Yet as I said it, I became aware that there was indeed an undercurrent of good feeling beneath my panic, a faint part of me that actually was OK. And then I made a radical inner shift: I gave myself permission to hang on to that undercurrent of grace, that sense of contentment with myself, come what may. As I resumed my race to the podium, I deliberately and consciously stayed focused on that sense of well-being. I don't remember how other people reacted to my presentation. I just remember that while I was doing it, I felt good. And that had never happened to me in a high-pressure situation before. It was remarkable.
It was also fleeting. I'd caught a glimpse of the possibility of contentment, but ultimately, my experience was just a short-term fix. There are many such ways you can buy yourself moments of temporary contentment—you can talk back to your judgmental inner voices, stop and watch your breath, do a yoga pose, focus your mind on everything you have to be grateful for and whisper, "Thank you." But the self-undermining—the doubt, the niggling desire for something more or something different—always kicks back in. It's much harder to hang on to a feeling of contentment for the long haul, to make it a permanent part of your life.
The dictionary defines contentment as a "state of satisfaction with one's possessions, status, or situation." What the dictionary doesn't say is that contentment is a state you have to bring up from inside yourself—often while you're clamped in the jaws of loss, disappointment, or change. After dedicating 30 years to finding it, I've reached the conclusion that the only way to get to lasting contentment—the kind that's there even when the bottom is falling out of your life—is to undertake a transformative journey. And the way to start is by looking squarely into the causes of your own dissatisfaction.
Step Two: Investigate Your Discontent
Feelings of dissatisfaction—no matter how much you'd like to lose them—should not be dismissed lightly. Any feeling of discontent contains a message, a built-in wake-up call. When you feel truly discontent, it's almost always because you're out of touch with your most authentic self and with the desires that come from your heart's core. To achieve lasting contentment, you must be willing to examine your own feelings of dissatisfaction, to trace them to their source.
It seems paradoxical that the journey toward contentment could start with giving yourself permission not to be content. But you don't change your state by resisting or running away from it any more than you get rid of unfulfilled desires just by telling yourself to give them up. To move on, you must first let yourself be fully where you are in this moment—even if where you are is frustrated, out of sorts, insecure, scared, and full of dissatisfaction, thwarted ambition, or anxiety. Usually, most people are afraid to do this, imagining that they'll end up wallowing in misery. But accepting your situation is very different from giving into self-pity. Unlike wallowing, this inner acceptance lets you relax the inner muscle that keeps trying to control the uncontrollable, and frees you from the terrible stress of feeling that you have to pretend everything is OK when you know it isn't, even if you can't say why.
To start the process, close your eyes and focus on your breath. Let the breath be an anchor you use to keep yourself steady as you begin to ride the waves of your feelings. Now think of something that brings up your feeling of dissatisfaction or discontent, of wanting something you can't have. Notice how it feels; see if you can find the tendrils of your own discontent in your mind, in your body. If you like, you can begin to ask yourself questions about your discontent: "What's behind that feeling of frustration? What's inside the sadness? What lies beneath the fear?" Observe what arises, simultaneously focusing on the breath. Don't expect that this exercise will have you smiling and cheerful in a moment. But you'll probably notice after a while that your feelings aren't static. They shift and change all by themselves, because that is the nature of feelings. Your discontent is not intractable.
Step Three: Accept What Is
Every one of the world's great wisdom traditions contains a prescription for shifting dissatisfaction to contentment, and every one contains basically the same message. Whether you read the Stoics and Epicureans of Greece, the Tao Te Ching, the teachings of the Buddha, Indian texts like the Yoga Sutra and the Bhagavad Gita, or St. Paul's kick-ass Letter to the Corinthians, you'll discover that the bottom-line practice for contentment is to give up wanting what you don't already have and learn how to accept what you cannot change. Here's how Swami Hariharananda put it in his commentary on the Yoga Sutra: "Just as to escape from thorns it is necessary only to wear shoes and not to cover the face of the earth with leather, so happiness can be derived from [the practice of] contentment and not from thinking that I shall be happy when I get all I wish for."
Try experimenting with this yogic affirmation: Breathe in and think to yourself, "What I have is enough." Breathe out and think, "What I am is enough." Breathe in and think, "What I do is enough." Breathe out and think, "What I've achieved is enough." Repeat this cycle for several minutes, paying special attention to the feelings that arise along the way. Become aware of both the feelings of peace and the feelings of resistance that might come up. If you're like most contemporary Americans, some part of you is going to have a series of doubts: "Yes, this is a nice exercise, but what about my dreams and wishes? What about that skirt I have my eye on at Banana Republic? What about my calling to do something about preserving the environment and help farm workers get a living wage? How am I supposed to be content if I don't accomplish all that?" In short, you may find yourself wondering if this practice isn't just an invitation to goof off, a justification for social inequity, or a consolation prize for losers.
Yet the practice of contentment is not for wimps. Not only does it require a willingness to accept yourself and your situation, but it also demands that you be willing to change yourself in ways that may be uncomfortable precisely because they are so freeing.
Step Four: Relax with Reality
I came to understand this recently as I watched my friend Joel (not his real name) navigate his way through a major life crisis. Joel's journey is paradigmatic—it shows in high relief the steps that can take you to steady contentment.
When his troubles started, Joel had what appeared to be a highly successful professional life. A recognized authority on large-scale organizational change,
he received handsome fees for giving speeches to business groups around the world.
In 1999, Joel got an idea for an e-business. His plan was to get it up and running, make it successful, cash out, and use the money to finance what he really wanted to do. A year later, just as the Internet bubble was bursting, he came down with a severe case of pneumonia. In the nine months that it took Joel to recover his health, his business venture went belly-up and the stock market tanked, wiping out most of his investments. His wife wasn't working. They had a mortgage and private school tuition to pay, but their savings had been decimated, and between the two of them, they had almost no income.
That part wasn't so bad, he says. It was spring, and he spent a lot of time out on the lawn, watching the birds and ruminating, something he hadn't had time to do in years. His friends told one another that Joel's illness was turning out to be a blessing in disguise, a much-needed opportunity for him to get some rest.
Life got harder, though, when he began looking for work. His lecture gigs had dried up, and when he looked for corporate jobs, no one would hire him. For Joel—as for so many former surfers of the 1990s economy—the first years of the 21st century offered an unremitting series of blows to the ego. "We were broke," he recalls. "I was completely failing in my obligation to support my family, and the financial insecurity was really scary for my wife. All the external moorings—the things you count on, like praise and satisfaction in work—were dropping out of my life."
The main things Joel had going for him were his wife's willingness to hang in with him, a habit of meditation, and the teachings of the spiritual path he'd been following since 1979. He is a student of Siddha Yoga, a tradition that emphasizes integrating inner practice with daily life, and Joel had, as he puts it, "somehow developed enough of an understanding of how life works to accept what was happening."
Joel found himself turning again and again to a statement from Siddha spiritual master Swami Muktananda: "Meditation gives you the power to be happy even when you're unhappy." He'd always heard that as a promise—that regular meditation practice puts you in touch with the state of wholeness beyond the superficial mind, the part of you that can withstand assaults on your well-being. But as he turned it over in his mind, he realized that Muktananda's statement could be interpreted in a broader sense—not just as a kind of press release for meditation practice but as encouragement to accept unhappiness, instead of trying to escape or bypass it.
"This realization was big for me, because I have a real attachment to being happy," he says. "But the more I relaxed into the situation, the better I got at dealing with it and the more I was able to feel OK with whatever was going on."
Step Five: Know Your Authentic Self
As his job opportunities dissolved in the distance, Joel finally began to ask himself what message he was supposed to be getting. Part of his experience, he realized, was about learning financial discipline—it was time for him to discover how to make do with less. But when he asked what the deeper lesson might be, he saw that he really wasn't right for any of the jobs he was seeking, that he really didn't want them. As much as he might want the security and perks of a corporate job, he didn't like working in the corporate culture.
Joel had always known he wanted to write serious fiction. In his early 20s, however, he'd decided that this was economically unrealistic, so he had given it up. But now, with his life's work crumbling in his hands, he saw how much of his life had been spent in conflict between what he really wanted to do and what he thought he was supposed to do. The current crisis was demanding that Joel begin acting in alignment with his deeper dreams. So he decided to start writing a novel.
"Just committing myself to writing changed everything," he says. "Once I was no longer at cross-purposes with myself, everything else started to fall into place. I realized that my day job also needed to be something I found meaningful—that nothing would work for me otherwise."
Joel is still working on his novel and has found work as an executive coach and traveling conference monitor, which enables him to pay the bills. His family is not yet in the clear financially, and he's frustrated that his travel schedule leaves little time for writing. But knowing that his novel awaits him whenever he can find the time, he enjoys his day job more. He feels content with himself, a writer.
Joel's story exemplifies a truth we all know (and often ignore): that lasting contentment can come only when we are being our authentic selves. This, I find, is nearly always the real message behind our feelings of dissatisfaction.
In order to move toward a state of sustained contentment, Joel had to settle a few fundamental questions—ones that all of us can ask ourselves: "Am I living my own life, the life that expresses who I authentically am? Or am I simply living the way my culture and family and the people around me think I should be living? What do I need to do and who do I need to be to feel authentically myself?" If you ask yourself these questions and listen for the answers, surprising shifts will occur. And these shifts will hold the clues to your personal path to contentment.
Not everyone gets to choose his or her means of livelihood. Yet each of us can find ways to authentically express and nurture our personal strengths and gifts—the qualities of character that belong to our essential being. You'll know that you've found this authentic expression when you feel most deeply aligned with yourself; you'll know you haven't when you feel off-kilter.
Step Six: Find Your Inner Truth
Because we live in a culture that values the dream of being "special," of having a big destiny that drives us even when we don't know it, the experience of real alignment often comes when you allow yourself to be—well, ordinary.
Miles, a teacher and spiritual counselor from New Mexico, told me recently that the most important shift he'd made in the past few years was releasing his need to be impressive. "Sometimes one of my students will invite me to dinner, and they'll have invited their friends to meet their teacher, and I won't have anything to say," he says. "A few years ago, I'd have forced myself to hold forth for them, to perform. Now I can just be there, be as dorky as I am in that moment, and feel fine about it."
This quality of being authentically yourself, just as you are, without pretense or struggle, is what is really meant by integrity—the ability to fully integrate even the uncomfortable, difficult parts of yourself into the whole, so that your thoughts, your words, your body language, and your actions all express your deepest values. In the yoga tradition of India, the inner truth that integrates all the different parts of us is called svadharma—literally, "one's own law"—and real happiness is said to stem from our ability to follow that inner law, the path that rightly belongs to us.
Your svadharma is your inner compass, the path you follow to wholeness. People often used to ask my teacher how they could find their svadharma, their own personal mission or destined path. He would say, "Your real svadharma is to know your Self, the divinity within you."
On my own journey toward contentment, I've come back again and again to a question that allows me to take a shortcut to the truth: "Does this thought or action or decision take me closer to my own divinity or not?" My ego might have all sorts of opinions about what's good for me. The inner Self simply knows that behind all situations, challenges, and opinions, behind all questions of preference is the ground of what is, and that when we rest on that ground, we're open to the grace that is the real source of contentment.
Step Seven: Be Content in the Moment
Everything you do to come to the state of contentment rests finally on your ability to occupy your own ground, the state of pure being that lies behind your thoughts and actions. Meditation is one of the keys to that state. "It was my meditation practice that showed me how to find the essence inside every moment," one woman told me when I asked her how she was dealing with her own tough time. "Anytime I can stop, breathe, and feel the pulsation of life inside my body, I can feel contentment. I know at that moment that it's my mind and ego that are worried and upset. My deeper being is always just fine." She was talking about what I call the fundamental gesture of meditation, a core practice in nearly every Eastern tradition.
Here is a basic practice for experiencing a meditative state.
First, sit with your back straight (yet not rigid) and close your eyes. Listen to the sounds around you without trying to identify them, make sense of them, or push them away. Then draw your attention inward. Feel the sensations inside your body. Follow the movement of the breath, the entire arc of inhalation and exhalation. Notice the thoughts that are coming and going. Do this without trying to make sense of them or avoid them. Every time you notice yourself following a thought, as soon as you become aware that you're thinking, bring your attention back to your breath.
Then focus your awareness in the center of your chest, beneath the breastbone, inside the body. Feel the pulsation of your own heartbeat and know that the rhythm of your heartbeat is the rhythm of life. Each heartbeat signals a new moment, a new present. Just be with it, allowing the breath to flow naturally. You aren't trying to change your state or "get into meditation." You're simply being with yourself, in this moment, as you are.
The pulsation of the breath and the heartbeat are a constant source of natural contentment. They are always there, in the moment. To make contentment last, to make it a condition of your life, you practice both letting go and acceptance. You find your heart's real calling, your authentic sense of self. You learn how to inhabit yourself by following your svadharma.
Yet in the highest sense, contentment is the gift that comes when you touch the timeless essence inside a particular moment of time—the ever-present now. In any moment, no matter what else you may be feeling, you can open the door to contentment by giving yourself permission to stop and be with yourself. It's that easy.

DNR seeking volunteers to help researchers with deer mortality study
MADISON (AP) -- The state Department of Natural Resources is looking for volunteers to help researchers with a deer mortality study early next year.
The DNR is in the third year of a five-year research project examining causes of deer deaths. Each year the agency has relied on volunteers to help gather data in the field.
This time around the DNR is looking for anyone willing to spend a full day in the woods with biologists, checking traps, taking blood samples, performing ultrasounds on does and fitting deer with radio collars and ear tags before releasing them. Biologists plan to work around Winter and Shiocton in January, February and March.
Volunteers can sign up on the DNR's website or by calling project coordinator Mike Watt at 608-221-6376.

The Best Breaking Bad Party Ideas: Watch The Breaking Bad Finale In Style
Saying goodbye to "Breaking Bad" on Sunday is not going to be easy for those of us who followed Walter White's mind-blowing character arc over the last five years (or for those of us who just caught up on Netflix in the last six months). Rare does a series finale bring with it the buzz of true event television, but "Bad" has been breaking records over the last few episodes, with last week's episode attracting 6.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen. That's more than twice the audience of popular AMC shows such as "Mad Men."
As for how it will all end, we haven't a clue. Sure, there are predictions galore, but for the most part, anyone who has tried to second guess this show has yielded a lower percentage than Todd's meth. Ultimately, it doesn't matter how it ends, just that you enjoy the ride. That's why IBTimes culled together some of the best "Breaking Bad" party ideas on the Web. Please cook with care.
Setting The Mood
Word to the wise: No matter what you do for your "Breaking Bad" party, you will not top Jamee, a blogger from Indianapolis who has decked out her living space to such an elaborate degree it's hard to believe we're not looking at a "Breaking Bad" theme park. (Pay attention, Disney.) Jamie posted a rundown of her party creations -- as well as some wonderful visual accompaniments -- on her blog, Setting the Mood. Care for some methylene lemon meringue? How about a swig of Heisenberg Brew? Jamee has left no detail uncovered. She also includes instructions on how she created each effect, prop and treat. Our favorite: "Walter's Whities," sugar cookies with royal icing cut into the shape of Walter's briefs. What can we say? If Vince Gilligan were an Indianapolis party planner, his name would be Jamee. We're in awe of her genius. Full party.
The Cooking Channel
The Cooking Channel's Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark offer some nice tips and recipes for "BB" fans in mourning. First up: If you're going to have booze, why not use the label for Hank's homemade brew, Schraderbrau? Then, of course, there's the full-on Heisenberg cake. Let's just say it captures his likeness almost as good as that black-and-white sketch. Full party.
Comediva: 'Breaking Bad' Marathon Party
The women's humor website Comediva.com has tips for the "Ultimate Breaking Bad Marathon Party," which might be just the thing for folks who plan to binge-watch the entire series before Sunday night's finale. The tips here half humorous, half inspired, including several party games revolving around the characters. Our favorite: "Better Call Saul" -- look up all the bus-bench lawyers in your town and prank call them. There's also a "Breaking Bad" drinking game, because, yes, we need more of those. Full party.
Cautiously Domestic: 'Breaking Bad' Dinner Party
For the adults in the audience, the bloggers at Cautiously Domestic have come up with some great ideas for a "BB" dinner party, including "BB"-shaped bacon (Walt's favorite) and crispy fried chicken à la Los Pollos Hermanos. Gus would be so proud -- if only he didn't get half his face blown off by an old man with a bell. Full party.
Blue Ice Party
For a truly aggregated rundown of "BB" party ideas, Pinterest user Tina Latino has pulled together party ideas from more than 50 different sources. You have "BB"-themed drinks, cupcakes, snacks, finger foods, party favors, games and accessories all neatly curated and pinned onto one board. If you can't find what you're looking for here, well, maybe it's time to lay off the ice. Full party.
The "Breaking Bad" series finale will air on Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

Last month, I was cleaning photos off on my old hard drive and discovered a glaring oversight on my food blogging part: I had never told you about one of my proudest kitchen triumphs to date, mastering the pasta nest!
By "pasta nest" I mean the method of creating a well inside a mound of flour, placing several egg yolks in the center and creating pasta dough with your fingertips alone. Why is this process so intimidating? Don't countless cooks all over Italy do precisely this every single day without fail? Clearly, they have never read Jeffrey Steingarten, who I alone blame for my fear of The Nest.
"… I ran into a problem," Steingarten writes in The Man Who Ate Everything.
As I began to incorporate flour from the crater's inner wall, a wavelet of egg slashed over the top, causing a serious erosion problem, and when I nimble scooped up a handful of flour and from the stable side of the mound and used it to stanch the flow, the crate collapsed. A torrent of egg yolks, now thick with flour and cornmeal, surged across the table, carried a pile of chopped garlic, and like molten lava rolling over a Hawaiin housing development, leaving death and destruction in its wake, headed toward my handwritten notes. As I snatched away the notebook, the flood plunged on, lifting two rosemary branches as though they were matchsticks and cascading over the edge of the table and into an open silverware drawer…
It gets worse from there as he does not wash the silverware immediately, and it takes on "the feel of industrial-grade sandpaper" and you can see why, as another home cook in a tiny New York City kitchen, I couldn't imagine my pasta nest experience being any less of a disaster.
My single counter is tiny, has not just a drawer with every cooking utensil I own beneath it but two open shelves with assorted stuff that fits nowhere else and a cabinet with serving platters, food processor and KitchenAid parts, measuring spoons and, ironically, my pasta maker and the thought of scrubbing a yolk-flour crust from each of these objects kept me from trying this method for the five years between the time I first read Steingarten's story and, well, three and half months ago, when I was working on the agnolotti recipe in my dumplings article for NPR.
It was the fantastic amount of detail in Thomas Keller's recipe from the French Laundry Cookbook that drew me in; sure, it is a lot of instruction but it also explains exactly how to keep it from going horribly awry, little details like creating a large enough well, pulling in only the smallest amount of flour at a time and kneading the dough even longer than one. Even better, it works. Thirty minutes later I had the most shiny, elastic, sunny round of pasta dough that has yet to grace the smitten kitchen and now it is the only way I will make it. And really, if it has been working for Italian cooks for hundreds of years, why not us?
Question: What are you most the most scared to cook?
One year ago: Sour Cream Bran Muffins
Seven-Yolk Pasta Dough
Adapted from French Laundry Cookbook
1 3/4 cups (8 ounces) all-purpose flour
6 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon milk
Mound flour on a board or other surface and create a well in the center, pushing the flour to all sides to make a ring with sides about 1-inch wide. Make sure that the well is wide enough to hold all the eggs without spilling.
Pour the egg yolks, egg, oil and milk into the well. Use your fingers to break the eggs up. Still using your fingers, begin turning the eggs in a circular motion, keeping them within the well and not allowing them to spill over the sides. This circular motion allows the eggs to gradually pull in flour from the sides of the well; it is important that the flour not be incorporated too rapidly, or dough will be lumpy. Keep moving the eggs while slowly incorporating the flour. Using a pastry scraper, occasionally push the flour toward the eggs; the flour should be moved only enough to maintain the gradual incorporation of the flour, and the eggs should continue to be contained within the well. The mixture will thicken and eventually get too tight to keep turning with your fingers.
When the dough begins thickening and starts lifting itself from the board, begin incorporating the remaining flour with the pastry scraper by lifting the flour up and over the dough that's beginning to form and cutting it into the dough. When the remaining flour from the sides of the well has been cut into the dough, the dough will still look shaggy. Bring the dough together with the palms of your hands and form it into a ball. It will look flaky but will hold together.
Knead the dough by pressing it, bit by bit, in a forward motion with the heels of your hands rather than folding it over on itself as you would with a bread dough. Re-form the dough into a ball and repeat the process several times. The dough should feel moist but not sticky. Let the dough rest for a few minutes while you clean the work surface.
Dust the clean work surface with a little flour. Knead the dough by pushing against it in a forward motion with the heels of your hands. Form the dough into a ball again and knead it again. Keep kneading in this forward motion until the dough becomes silky smooth. The dough is ready when you can pull your finger through it and the dough wants to snap back into place. The kneading process can take from 10 to 15 minutes.
Even if you think you are finished kneading, knead it for an extra 10 minutes; you cannot overknead this dough. It is important to work the dough long enough to pass the pull test; otherwise, when it rests, it will collapse.
Double-wrap the dough in plastic wrap to ensure that it does not dry out. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before rolling it through a pasta machine. The dough can be made a day ahead, wrapped and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before proceeding.
Once you've triumphed over your seven-yolk pasta dough, here are some ideas of what to cook with it:

This is a community site put together by a bunch of volunteers to encourage more sharing of information among the members of Java community interested in doing 3D graphics work. Originally we focused purely on the Java3D API, but with the advent of several other APIs for adding 3D rendering to Java, we've expanded to cover those as well.
Being a volunteer run site, there are always things to do and we never have enough time to do everything that everyone wants. As this is a community-driven site, we rely on you to send us contributions to the site. Alternatively, if you have an announcement or news item related to Java and 3D graphics that you'd like to see on this site, let us know too!
Anyway, enough babbling from us. On with the show!

Sarah Abdurrahman is getting to the point where she's scared to make calls to Libya. She worries about endangering the lives of the six to 12 people she calls there regularly or, worse, that they might already be dead.
Since protests calling for the end of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's 40-plus year regime began in mid-February, and the ensuing conflict, Abdurrahman, 27, has been posting her contacts' accounts on Twitter, the social networking service that allows short text messages called tweets to be sent to followers.
But last week she discovered that one of her contacts in eastern Libya had been killed. He was her first confirmed lost source. A Libyan American, like Abdurrahman, he'd had the option to leave Libya when the fighting began but wanted to stay.
Abdurrahman's Twitter feed, called Feb 17 Voices, posted an audio clip of her contact speaking the night before his death. The day she found out about the loss, one tweet read:
"Muhannad, 20y/o killed in #Brega. Dual US/Libyan citizen, former boy scout. Father: he refused US Cit. evac. to fight for his country #Libya"
Abdurrahman is one of a small group, including her husband and some people she's never met, who have been posting daily accounts - in 140 characters or fewer - to the Feb 17 Voices Twitter feed, named for the designated "Day of Rage" on February 17 when protests against Gadhafi were supposed to have started. Tweets include written and audio eyewitness testimonies and translations of breaking news from Al Jazeera Arabic to help fill in gaps of what's happening on the ground.
"Libya is incredibly closed off, it's incredibly brutal, it's not comparable to Egypt or Tunisia in terms of how people can gather and protest. We just had to make sure that if something did happen that we were ready to get the news out," Abdurrahman says, while sipping a cappuccino in an East Village café. A black-and-white headscarf frames her round face.
"The people we're talking to, they're all incredibly brave. They understand that this is their weapon. They may not be able to go out and fight the people who are killing them in the streets, but they can at least get the information out," she says.
About a week after the uprising began in Libya, foreign journalists started to enter the country. They have been staking out in Tripoli and Benghazi since, sending regular news reports, photos and satellite images of the U.N.-approved military intervention led by France, England and the United States.
But in the early days of the uprising the scarcity of foreign media in Libya, due to press restrictions, meant the Feb 17 Voices Twitter feed was one of the first to post first-hand testimonies, says Abdurrahman. Libya was ranked 160th out of 178 countries in the 2010 Reporters Without Borders press freedom index.
One widely played audio account from that time is by a woman in Tripoli – about a third of their contacts are women – describing how people were being killed wherever they were in the streets and making weapons out of anything found at home. "We heard shootings going on non-stop earlier," the woman says in the audio clip. "Non-stop. Everything seems to be quiet now but they said it's getting worse. They're just killing people in the streets."
Abdurrahman had hoped the Libyan uprising would quickly prevail, following the example of the relatively brief toppling of the governments of Tunisia and Egypt. But it's been weeks of violence.
Pro-government forces continue to fight to recapture rebel-held towns, including Libya's second biggest city Benghazi. According to a statement issued by Human Rights Watch, since the uprising began it has documented cases in which government forces opened fire on peaceful protesters and seen the arbitrary arrest and enforced disappearance of scores of people.
On March 17 the United Nations Security Council voted to authorise a no-fly zone and other military action to protect civilians in Libya, enabling nations to intervene in the conflict. Following the U.N.'s actions, Feb 17 Voices sent almost two dozen tweets on the vote. Several thousand Libyan women had marched in Benghazi the previous weekend to demand such a no-fly zone to prevent the bombing of rebels, according to the AFP.
Shortly after the U.N. vote Libya said it would call an immediate cease-fire, but government forces have continued to fight. In response, the United States and its allies have launched air strikes to secure the no-fly zone, targeting Gadhafi's military infrastructure.
Abdurrahman has been watching the situation closely. She works on the Feb 17 Voices project around her job as a producer for On the Media radio show for WNYC, a New York affiliate of National Public Radio. She started the Twitter feed after being approached by John Scott-Railton, a doctoral student in urban planning at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), who started and runs a similar feed called Jan25 Voices about Egypt's uprisings, and now also contributes to Feb 17 Voices. He says as lead contributor to Feb 17 Voices, Abdurrahman's work is significant.
"The quality and impact of her recordings of calls are a testament to her professionalism and commitment to the struggle of the Libyan people," believes Scott-Railton, who began contacting his many friends and close ties in Egypt to create Jan25 Voices in response to the Internet being shut off there. "Truly, Feb 17 Voices would not have been successful without her commitment," he adds.
Abdurrahman made her first calls to Libya the same weekend she attended a protest in Washington, D.C., in solidarity with Libyan revolutionaries. After the protest, up to 30 friends and family members spontaneously gathered at her parents' house in the D.C. area, all on their laptops seeking and sending information on Libya. Abdurrahman says it looked like a newsroom, with two TV sets blasting Al Jazeera and a laptop connected to CNN.
The Feb 17 Voices Twitter feed now has over 5,600 followers and her group works to ensure the authenticity of their tweets, trying to only post things they've heard from multiple unconnected people. Their Twitter feed has been used by Al Jazeera English and various news reporting blogs.
While foreign media coverage of Libya is constant now, Abdurrahman says journalists there remain limited in their sources and are being threatened and detained. (Four 'New York Times' journalists who were held for nearly a week by pro-Gadhafi forces were released Monday; the Committee to Protect Journalists reports 13 other journalists are either missing or in Libyan government custody.) She says their Twitter feed is still able to provide on-the-ground accounts from within the turmoil.
Abdurrahman was born in Seattle to Libyan-born parents who were also dissidents opposing Gadhafi. Her father hasn't been back to Libya since around 1980. Abdurrahman went on to study film as an undergrad and then earned a graduate degree in media studies, both at the University of Texas at Austin.
Her journalism training started when she moved to Boston in 2008 to intern and then freelance at WBUR, Boston's NPR member station. In December she moved to New York City to start her new job at WNYC.
As the conflict in Libya crosses the one-month mark, Abdurrahman believes the challenge now is to keep people interested. "Our main hope is just that people don't lose steam. I know news cycles get old and people don't want to follow the same story after a few weeks," she says. "But every single person that is dying, that's new, that's advancing the story. And it needs to still be told."

The Novgorod Chronicle:
Selected Annals
[from Walsh] The most important, as well as the best known, of the basic
written sources of early Russian history is The Chronicle
of Novgorod. The following selection consists of samples taken
from the Chronicle, exemplifying the various types of entries
from the 11th through the 15th centuries.
A.D. 1016. A.m. 6524. [There was] a fight at Lyubets, and [the
sons of Vladimir] won; and Svyatopolk fled to Poland. And at that
time Yaroslav was keeping many Varangians in Novgorod, fearing
war; and the Varangians began to commit violence against the wives
of the townsmen. The men of Novgorod said: 'We cannot look upon
this violence,' and they gathered by night and fell upon and killed
the Varangians in Poromon's Court; and that night [Prince] Yaroslav
was at Rakomo. And having heard this, [Prince] Yaroslav was wroth
with the townsfolk, and gathered a thousand soldiers in Slavno,
and by craft falling on those who had killed the Varangians, he
killed them; and others fled out of the town. And the same night
Yaroslav's sister, Peredslava, sent word to him from Kiev, saying:
'Thy father is dead, and thy brethren slain.' And having heard
this, Yaroslav the next day gathered a number of the men of Novgorod,
and held an [assembly] in open air, and said to them: 'My beloved
and honourable [bodyguard], whom yesterday in my madness I slew,
I cannot now buy back even with gold.' And thus he said to them:
'Brethren my father Volodimir is dead, and Svyatopolk is [Prince]
in Kiev; I want to go against him; come with me and help me.'
And the men of Novgorod said to him: 'Yes, [Prince], we will follow
thee.' And he gathered 4,000 soldiers: there were a thousand Varangians,
and 3,000 of the men of Novgorod; and he went against him.
And Svyatopolk having heard this, gathered a countless number
of soldiers, went out against him to Lyubets and encamped there
in the open country a number of soldiers. And Yaroslav having
come, halted on the bank of t)nieper; and they stood there three
months, not daring to come together In conflict). Svyatopolk's
(General] by name of Wolf's Tail, riding along iiver-bank, began
to reproach the men of Novgorod: 'Wherefore have come with that
builder of wooden [houses] ?
`You are carpenters, and we shall make you build houses for us.'
And the Dnieper began to freeze. And one of Yaroslav's men was
on friendly with Svyatopol . And Yaroslav sent one of his attendants
to him by night, and he spoke to him. And this is what he said
to him: 'What dost thou advise to be done now? There is but little
mead brewed, and the [bodyguard] is large.' And that man said
to him: 'Say thus to Yaroslav, if there is little mead, but a
large [bodyguard], then give it in the evening.' And Yaroslav
understood that he was advising him to fight at night; and that
evening Yaroslav with his troops crossed the other bank of the
Dnieper, and they pushed the boats away from the bank, and prepared
to make battle that night. And Yaroslav said to his [bodyguard]:
'Put a mark on you, wind your heads in kerchiefs.' And there was
a terrible fight, and before dawn they conquered Svyatopolk, and
Svyatopolk fled to the Pecheneg people.
And Yaroslav went to Kiev, and took his seat on the throne of
his father Volddimir. And he began to distribute pay to his troops:
to the [elders] ten [half pounds of silver each], to the [foot
soldiers] one [half pound of silver] each and to all the men of
Novgorod ten each, and let them all go to their homes.
A.D.1066. A.M. 6574. Vseslav came and took Novgorod, with the
women and Children and he took down the bells from St. Sophia
- Oh great was the distress at that time!-and he took down the
church lustres.
A.D 1007. A.M. 6575. They defeated Vseslav at Nemiza. The same
year they captured him in Russia.
A.D. 1068. A.M. 6576. The wrath of God came on us; the Polovets
people came and conquered the Russian land. The same year the
men of Kiev rescued Vseslav from prison. The same year Svyatoslav
defeated the Polovets people rear Snovsk and Izyaslav fled to
A.D. 1093. A.M. 6601. Vsevolod died; and Svyatopolk took his seat
in Kiev. The same summer the PoIovets people defeated Svyatopolk
and Mstislav at Trepol.
A.D. 1107. A.M. 6615. The earth trembled on February 5.
A.D. 1109. A.M. 6617. The water was high in the Dnieper, the Desna
and the Pripet. And they finished the refectory in the Pechersk
monastery. The same year a church was founded at Kiev by Prince
A.D. 1. A.M. 6619. Svyatopolk, Volodimir and David and the whole
Russian Land to a man went against the Polovets people and defeated
them and took their children, and rebuilt the fortified towns
of Surtev and Sharukan.
At the same time the Lower town at Kiev was burnt, as well as
Cherigov, Smolensk and Novgorod. The same year loan, Bishop of
Chernigov, died. The same year Mstislav went against Ochela.
A.D. 1124. A.M. 6632. On the 11th day of August before evening
service; the sun began to decrease and it totally perished; oh,
there was great terror and darkness! There were stars and the
moon; then it began to re-appear and came out quickly in full;
then all the city rejoiced.
A.D. 1135. A.M. 6643. [Mayor] Miroslav went from Novgorod to make
peace between the people of Kiev and those of Chemigov, and he
came back without having achieved anything; for the whole Russian
Land was in great disorder; Yaropolk called the men of Novgorod
to his side; and the [Prince] of Chern igov to his; and they fought,
and God helped the son of Oleg with the men of Chernigov and he
cut up many of the men of Kiev and others they captured in the
month of August. And this was not the whole of the evil; the Polovet
s people and everyone began to muster fighting men.
The same year, Vsevolod with [Arch-Bishop] Nifont founded a stone
church of the Holy Mother of God in the Market Place.
The same year, Irozhnet founded a church to St. Nicholas in Yakov
Street The same year in the winter, [Arch-Bishop] Nifont with
the best men went into Russia, and found the men of Kiev and the
men of Chernigov ranged against each other, and a quantity of
troops, and by the will of God they were reconciled. And Miroslav
died before the return of the [Arch-Bishop] in January 28; the
Bishop came on February 4. And they gave the [Mayor]-ship in Novgorod
to Kostyantin Mikultsits.
A.D. 1141. A.M. 6649. On April 1 there was a very marvellous sign
in the sky; six circles, three close about the sun, and three
other large ones outside the sun, and stood nearly all day.
The same year they came from Vsevolod from Kiev for his brother
Svyatoslav to take him to Kiev; 'and receive my son as your [Prince],'he
said. And when they sent the Bishop and many best men for his
son, they said to Svyatsoslav 'Thou wait for thy brother, then
thou shalt go:' but he, fearing the men of Novgorod, 'whether
they are going to deceive me,' fled secretly in the night; Yakun
fled with him. And they took Yakun on the [river] Plisa, and having
brought him hither with his brother Procupi, they nearly did him
to death, having stripped him naked, as his mother bore him, and
they threw the bridge; but God saved him, he waded to the bank,
and they beat him no more, but took from him 1,000 [half pounds
of silver] and from his brother 100 [half pounds of silver], likewise
they took from others; And they exiled Yakun with his brother
to the Chud people, having chained their hands to their wives
from Novgorod, and kept them by him in favour. And Vsevolod was
wroth, and he detained all the emissaries and the Bishop and the
And the people of Novgorod went without a [Prince] nine months;
and they summoned Sudila, Nezhata and Strashko from Suzhdal, who
had fled from Novgorod on account of Svyatoslav and Yakun; and
they gave the [Mayor]-ship of Novgorod to Sudila; and they sent
to Suzhdal for Gyurgi to be [Prince] and he did not go, but sent
his son, Rostislav, who had been before.
The same year Rostislav went on the throne at Novgorod, on November
A.D. 1177. A.M. 6685. Gleb, [Prince] of Ryazan, died in captivity
in Volodimir. At the same time [Prince] Mstislav was blinded,
with his brother Yaropolk by their uncle VsevoIod, and he let
them go into Russia. And the two blind [men,] being led with rotting
eyes, when they reached Smolensk they came to Smyadino into the
Church of the Holy Martyrs Boris and Gleb; and there forthwith
the Grace of God and of our Holy Sovereign Lady the Mother of
God and of the newly manifested holy Martyrs Boris and Gleb descended
on them and there they saw clearly. The same year in the autumn
the Nerev end form Ivankova took fire and five churches were burnt
down. And in the winter [Prince] Mstislav with his brother Yaropolk
came to Novgorod and the men of Novgorod set Mstislav on the throne,
and Yaropolk in itorg, and Yaroslav in Volok-Lamsk, and thus they
arranged [things] according to their will.
A.D. 1203. A.M. 6711. Rurik with the sons of Oleg and the heathen
Polovets people, with Kontsyak and Danila Byakovits captured Kiev,
on January 1, St Vasil's Day; and whomever their hands reached,
whether monk or nun, priest or priest's wife, these they led off
to the heathen; and all foreign merchants and foreigners of every
country shut themselves up in the churches, and they granted them
their lives; but their merchandise they divided with them by halves;
but everything in the monasteries and in all the churches, all
valuables and ornaments and ikons the pagans tore off and carried
away into own land; and they set fire to the town . Then, too,
the Russian [princes] Rurik, Roman, Mstislav and many others [Princes]
went against the Polovets people. And then the winter was very
cruel; and they took much plunder and drove away their herds.
The same year Roman sent Vyacheslav ordering him to have Rurik
shorn [a monk]. The same year the sons of Oleg defeated the Lithuanians,
and did to death seven hundred and a thousand of them. The same
year Miroshka; [Mayor] of Novgorod died, he was shorn in St. Georgi's,
and then they gave the [Mayor]-ship to Mikhalko Stepanits. The
same year for our sins all the horses died in Novgorod and in
the villages so that it was not possible to go anywhere for the
A.D. 1210. A.M. 6718. The men of Novgorod with [Princel Volodimir
and [Mayor] Tverdislav, having pursued and found the Lithuanians
in Khodynitsy, killed them.
The same year Vsevolod went against Ryazan and said to them: 'Come
to me and my son Yaroslav over the Oka to deliberate.' And they
went over to him and there be seized them all; and sent troops;
and took all their wives and children, and set fire to their town;
and thus he distributed them about the towns. The same winter
[Prince] Mstislav Mstislavits came against Torshok, and seized
Svyatoslav's courtiers and put the [Mayor] in chains and whoever
could lay hands on their goods ftook them;] and he sent to Novgorod:
'I bow down to St. Sophia and to the tomb of my father and to
all the men of Novgorod; I have come to you having heard of the
violence [done you] by the [Prince;l and I am sorry for my patrimony.'
Having heard this the men of Novgorod sent for him with great
honour: 'Come, [Prince] to the throne.' And they sent Svyatoslav
with his men in the Arch-Bishop's court until the settlement with
his father. Mstislav came to Novgorod and they set him on his
father's throne, and the men of Novgorod were glad; and Mstislav
went with the whole army against Vsevolod, and they were at Ploskeya
and Vsevolod sent to him: 'Thou art son to me and I father to
thee; let go Svyatoslav with his men; and all that thou hast confiscated,
make good, and I will let go the merchants and merchandise.' And
Mstislav released Svyatoslav and his men and Vsevolod released
the mercbants and their merchandise-, they both of them kissed
the Cross and took peace, and Alstislav came to Novgorod.
A.D. 1238. A.m. 6746. The wife of Semen Borisovich made a monastery
at the Church of St. Paul. That same year foreigners called Tartars
came in countless numbers, like locusts, into the land of Ryazan,
and on first coming they halted at the river Nukhla, and took
it, and halted in camp there. And thence they sent their emissaries
to the [Princes] of Ryazan, a sorceress and two men with her,
demanding from them one-tenth of everything; of men and rprincesl
and horses@f everything one-tenth. And the [Princes] of Ryazan,
George Ingvor's brother, Oleg, Roman Ingvorevicb, and those of
Murom and Pronsk, without letting them into their towns, went
out to meet them to Voronazh. And the [Princesl said to them:
'Only when none of us remain then all will be yours.' And thence
they let them go to Yuri in Volodimir, and thence they let the
Tartars at Voronazh go back to the Nukhla. And the [Princes]
of Ryazan sent to Yuri of Volodimir asking for help, or himself
to come. But Yuri neither went himself nor listened to the request
of the [Princes] of Ryazan, but he himself wished to make war
separately. But it was too late to oppose the wrath of God, as
was said of old by God, to Joshua,son of Nun, when leading them
to the promised land, then he said: 'I shall before you send upon
them perplexity, and thunder, and fear, and trembling.' Thus also
did God before these men take from us our strength and put into
us perplexity and thunder and dread and trembling for our sins.
And then the pagan foreigners surrounded Ryazan and fenced it
in with a stockade. And [Prince] Yuri of Ryazan, shut himself
in the town with his people, but [Prince] Roman Ingorovich began
to fight against them with his own men. Then [Prince] Yuri of
Volodimir sent Yeremei as Voyevoda with a patrol and joined
Roman; and the Tartars surrounded them at Kolomno, and they fought
hard and drove them to the ramparts. And there were they killed
Roman and Yeremei and many fell here with the [Prince] and with
Yeremei. And the the men of Moscow ran away having seen nothing.
And the Tartars took the town on December 21, and they had advanced
against it on the 16th of the same month. They likewise killed
the [Prince] and Knyaginya, and men, women and children,
monks, nuns and priests, some by fire, some by the sword and violated
nuns, priests' wives, good women and girls in the presence of
their mothers and sisters. But God saved the Bishop, for he had
departed the same moment when the troops invested the town. And
who, brethren, wouldd not lament over this, among those of us
left alive when they suffered this bitter and violent death? And
we, indeed, having seen it, were terrified and wept with sighing
day and night over our sins, while we sigh every day and night,
taking thought for our possessions and for the hatred of brothers.
But let us return to what lied before us. The pagan and godless
Tartars, then, having taken Ryazan, went to Volodimir, a host
of shedders of Christian blood. And [Prince] Yuri went out from
Volodimir and fled to Yaroslavl, while his son Vsevolod with his
mother and the [Arch-bishop] and the whole of the province shut
themselves in Volodimir. And the lawless Ismaelites approached
the town and surrounded the town in force, and fenced it all around
with a fence. And it was in the morning [Prince] Vsevolod and
[Arch-bishop] Mitrofan saw that the town must be taken, and entered
the Church of the Holy Mother of God and were all shorn into
the monastic order and into strictest monastic order, the Prince
and the Knyaginya, their daughter and daughter-in-law,
and good men and women, by [Arch-bishop] Mitrofan. And when the
lawless ones had already come near and set up battering rams,
and took the town and fired it on Friday before Sexagesima Sunday,
the [Prince] and Knyaginya and [Arch-bishop], seeing that
the town was on fire and that the people were already perishing,
some by fire and others by sword, took refuge in the Church of
the Holy Mother of God and shut themselves in the Sacristy. The
pagans breaking down the doors, piled up wood and set fire to
the sacred church; and slew all, thus they perished, giving up
their souls to God. Others went in pursuit of [Prince] Yuri to
Yaroslavl. And [Prince] Yuri sent out Dorozh to scout with 3,000
men; and Dorozh came running, and said: 'They have already surrounded
us, [Prince]. And the [prince] began to muster his forces about
him, and behold, the Tartars came up suddenly, and the [prince,]
without having been able to do anything, fled. And it happened
when he reached the river Sit they overtook him and there he ended
his life. And God knows how he died; for some say much about him.
And Rostov and Suzhdal went each his own way. And the accursed
ones having come thence took Moscow, Peryaslavl, Yurev, Dmitrov, Volok, and Tver; there also they killed the son of Yaroslav.
And thence the lawless ones came and invested Torshok on the festival
of the first Sunday in Lent. They fenced it all round with a fence
as they had taken other towns, and here the accursed ones fought
with battering rams for two weeks. And the people in the town
were exhausted and from Novgorod there was no help for them; but
already every man 6egari to be in perplexity and terror. And so
the pagans took the town, and slew all from the male sex even
to the female, all the priests and the monks, and all stripped
and reviled gave up their souls to the Lord in a bitter and a
wretched death on March 5, the day of the commemoration of the
holy Martyr Nikon, on Wednesday in Easter week. And there, too,
were killed Ivanko the (Arch-bishop] of Novitorg, Yakim Vlunkovich,
Gleb Borisovich, and Mikhailo Moisievich. And the accursed godless
ones then pushed on from Torshok by the road of Seregeri right
up to Ignati's cross, cutting down everybody like grass, to within
100 and [66 miles] of Novgorod. God, however, and the great and
sacred apostolic cathedral of St. Sophia, and St. Kyuril, and
the prayers of the holy and orthodox [Arch-bishop], of the faithful
[Princes] and of the very reverend monks of the hierarchical [assembly],
protected Novgorod. And who, brothers, fathers, and children,
seeing this, God's infliction on the whole Russian Land, does
not lament? God let the pagans on us for our sins. God brings
foreigners on to the land in his Wrath, and thus crushed by them
they will be reminded of God. And the internecine war comes from
the prompting of the devil: for God does not wish evil amongst
man, but good; but the devil rejoices at the wicked murder and
bloodshed. And any other land which has sinned God punished with
death of famine, or with infliction of pagans, or with drought,
or with heavy rain, or with other punishment, to see whether we
will repent and live as God bids; for He tells us by the prophet:
'Turn to me with your whole heart, with fasting and weeping.'
And if we do so we shall be forgiven of all our sins. But we always
turn to evil, like swine ever wallowing in the filth of sin, and
thus we remain; and for this we receive every kind of punishment
from God; and the invasion of armed men, too, we accept at God's
command; as punishment for our sins.
A.D. 1311. A.M. 6819. The men of Novgorod went in war over sea
to the country of the [Germans], against the Yem people, with
Prince Dmitri Romanovich and having crossed the sea they first
occupied the Kupets river, they burned villages, and captured
people and destroyed the cattle. And there Konstantin the son
of Ilya Stanimirovich was killed by a column that went in pursuit.
They then took the whole of the Black river, and thus following
along the Black river they reached the town of Vanai and they
took the town and burned it. And the [Germans] fell back into
the [citadel:] -for the place was very strong and firm, on a high
rock, not having access from any side. And they sent with greeting,
asking for peace, but the men of Novgorod did not grant peace,
and they stood three days and three nights wasting the district.
They burned the large villages, laid waste all the cornfields,
and did not leave a single horn of cattle; and going hence, they
took the Kavgola river and the Perna river, and they came out
on the sea and returned all well to Novgorod.
The same spring, on May 19, a fire broke out at night in Yanev
Street, andd forty less three houses were burnt and seven people.
Then in the night of June 28 Glebov's house in Rozvazha Street
caught fire, and the Norev quarter was burnt, on one side so far
as the fosse, and on the other beyond Borkov Street; and the Church
of SS. Kosma and Demyan was burnt, also that of St. Sava, and
forty churches were damaged by fire and several good houses. Oh,
woe, brethren, the conflagration was fierce, with wind and hurricane!
And wicked and bad men having no fear of God, seeing peoples run,
plundered men's property. Then on July 16 a fire broke out at
night in the Ilya street and here likewise was a fierce conflagration
with a high wind, and crashing noise; the market place was burnt,
and houses up to Rogatitsa Street, and the churches burnt were-seven
wooden churches: St. Dmitri, . St. Georgi, S.S. Boris and Gleb,
St. Ioan Ishkov, St. Catherine, St. Prokopi, and of Christ; and
six stone churches were damaged by fire, and the seventh was the
Varangian Church. And accursed men likewise having no fear of
nor remembering the judgement of God, and having no pity for their
fellows, plundered other people's property. Repay them, Lord,
according to their deeds!
The same year they took the [Mayor]-ship from Mikhail and gave
to Semen KIimovich. The same year [Arch-bishop] David erected
a stone church at the gate of the Nerev quarter, to St. Volodimir.
A.D. 1327. A.M. 6835. The same winter a very great force of Tartars
came, and they took Tver and Kashin and the Novi-torg district,
and to put it simply, laid waste all the Russian Land, God and
St. Sophia preserved Novgorod alone, and [Prince] Olexander fled
to Pleskov, and his brother Kostyantin and Vasili to Dadoga. And
the Tartars sent envoys to Novgorod, and the men of Novgorod gave
them 2,000 in silver, and they sent their own envoys with them,
with numerous presents to the [Generals].
A.D. 1349. AM. 6857. The King of Cracow with a large force
seized the country of Volynia by deceit, and did much injury to
the Christians, and he converted the sacred churches to the Latin
service hated of God.
A.D. 1379. A.M. 6887. The same year the Tartars came into the
Russian Land, against the [Great Prince] Dmitri. And the [Prince]
went out against them, and it was on the Ovosha river, and there
both forces met and God aided the Great Prince, and the Tartars
turned shoulder and fled. The same year they founded two stone
churches: one to the Holy Mother of God in the Mikhalitsa [Street]
and the other to the Holy Frola and Lavra in Lyudogoshcha Street.
The same year the Lithuanian [Prince] Yuri Narimantovich came
to Novgorod.
A.D. 1380. A.M. 688. The same year, in the month of August, news
came to the [Great Prince] Dmitri and to his brother [Prince]
Volodimir from the Horde that the pagan race of Ishmaelites was
rising against the Christians; for there was some weak man Tsar among them, and [Prince] Mamai was controlling all their affairs
and he was savagely enraged against the [Great Prince] and all
the Russian Land.
And having heard this, that a great Tartar force was coming against
him, the [Great Prince] Dmitri Ivanovich gathered many soldiers
and went against the godless Tartars, trusting in the mercy of
God and in His Immaculate Mother, the Mother of God, the eternal
Virgin Mary, calling to his aid the honourable Cross. For he entered
their country beyond the Don, and there was there a clean field
at the mouth of the river Nepryadva, and there the pagan Ishmaelites
had ranged themselves against the Christians. And the Moscovites,
of whom many were inexperienced, were frightened and in despair
for their lives at sight of the great numbers of Tartars, others
turned to flight, forgetful of the Prophet's saying that one shall
reap one thousand, and two shall move ten thousand, if God does
not abandon them.
And the [Great Prince] Dmitri with his brother Volodimir ranged
their troops against the pagan Polovets people, and raising their
eyes humbly to heaven, and sighing from the depth of their hearts,
said, in the words of the psalm: 'Brothers, God is our refuge
and our strength.' And both forces immediately met, and there
was a fierce battle for a long time, and God terrified the sons
of Hagar with an invisible might, and they turned their shoulders
to wounds, and they were routed by the Christians, and some were
struck down with weapons, and others drowned in the river, a countless
number of them.
And in the encounter [Prince] Fedor Belozerski was killed, also
his son [Prince] Ivan; and other [Princes] and captains went in
pursuit of the aliens. The godless Tartars fell from dread of
God and by the arms of the Christians; and God raised the right
hand of the [Great Prince] Dmitri Ivanovich and of his brother
[Prince] VoIodimir Andreyevich for the defeat of the aliens.
And this was because of our sins: the aliens take up arms against
us, that , we might renounce our wrong-doings and hatred of our
brethren, from our love of silver, and from wrong judging and
violence; but God is merciful and man-loving; He is not angry
with us utterly, and is not at enmity for ever.
A.D. 1420. A.M. 6928. The men of Novgorod began to trade with
silver coins, and sold the [Swedish copper coins] to the Germans,
having traded with them nine years.
A.D. 1432. A.M. 6940. The Russian [Princes] Vasili Vasilievich
and Yuri Dmitrievich came away from the Horde; Tsar Mahmed
gave the title of [Great Prince] over the whole Russian Land to
[Prince] Vasili Vasflievich.
A.D. 1434. A.M. 6942. [Prince] Yuri Dmitrievich seized the town
of Moscow and took his seat as [Great Prince].
And the same year, in the spring, on April 1, in Holy week, the
[Great Prince] Vasili Vasilievich came to Novgorod.
A.D. 1441. A.M. 6949. The same winter the Metropolitan Isidor
returned to Russia from the Eighth [Assembly] in Rome, and began
calling himself Legatos from the rib of the Apostolic seat
of Roman power, and Roman Metropolitan: he also began the naming
of the Pope of Rome in his services, and other new things which
we had never heard since the baptism of the Russian Land; and
he ordered Russian priests to perform his service in the Polish
churches, and chaplains to serve in Russian churches. But Lithuania
and Russia did not support this.
A.D. 1445. A.M. 6953. The same winter the [Great Prince] Vasili
went against the Tartar Tsar Mahmed; many Christians died
from cold, others were slain by the Tartars who laid waste the
country. But God aided the [Great Prince] Vasili and the Tartars
fled, others being slain.
Bread was dear in Novgorod, and not only this year but during
ten whole years: one [half-roublel for two [baskets]; sometimes
a little more, sometimes less; sometimes there was none to be
bought anywhere. And amongst the Christians there was great grief
and distress; only crying and sobbing were to be heard in the
streets and market place, and many people fell down dead from
hunger, children before their parents, fathers and mothers before
their children; and many dispersed, some to Lithuania, others
passed over to Latinism, and others to the Besermeny and
to the Jews, giving themselves the traders for bread.
At the same time there was no law or justice in Novgorod; calumniators
arose and turned obligations and accounts and oaths to falsehood;
and began to rob in the town and in the villages and districts;
we were exposed to the rebukes of our neighbours, who were around
us. There was much confiscation, frequent demands for money, throughout
the districts, with weeping and anguish and with outcries and
curses on all sides against our seniors and our town: because
there was no grace in us, nor justice.
