Hi everyone, I am looking for some guidance on beginning the weaning process with my 10 month old daughter. She's a breastfeeding champ. We have had absolutely zero issues with breastfeeding and we both have loved the experience.
She hasn't quite taken to food just yet. In fact, she rarely eats any puree food from me. She throws a huge fit when I try to spoon feed her. Has anyone else had this same experience? I feel like she will not eat from me because I am the one with the boobs! She will eat from her teachers at daycare like a pro, though.
I have her mainly eating whatever we eat. But not in significant amounts. About a month ago, she dropped her daily breastmilk intake at daycare from 21 oz to 10 oz. And this week she only took 9 oz. They feed her lunch and breakfast so she is getting some solids.
I have noticed recently that she is only interested in nursing sometimes. Last night she stayed with my parents and didn't take a bottle before bed. She just went to sleep! Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Am I doing this right? Why don't babies come with manuals? Haha! The true question is: can she be self-weaning at 10 months or is this just a phase?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure my sweet girl is getting all her nutrition, hydration, and vitamins that she needs during this weaning process.
Thank you!

DENVER Many Colorado students would get a revamped sex-education program under a bill that House Democrats advanced Thursday.
Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, said with 15 Colorado teenagers giving birth every day, the states sex-education curriculum needs to be better.
What we are talking about is making sure young people have healthy lifestyles. This is a health issue, Duran said.
Her House Bill 1081 would create a program in the health department to give out grants funded by the federal government or private donations to school districts that offer comprehensive sex education.
Duran said the bill would not forbid schools from teaching abstinence-based classes.
Abstinence is incredibly important. If you do not want unintended pregnancy, if you do not want to see the transmission of disease, then abstain from engaging in sexual activity, Duran said.
But, she said, young people who have sex should know how to protect themselves from disease and unwanted pregnancy.
The bill would allow parents to opt their children out of sex-education classes, but Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, said parents should have to opt in.
These are our kids were talking about, Stephens said. Im concerned that the religious sensitivities of families should be honored.
Opponents also questioned the need for the bill.
Peggy Littleton, a former member of the state Board of Education, said the state adopted standards for health and sex education in 2009 after a long and transparent public process.
We already have these. We spent a long time doing it, Littleton said.
Opponents suspected that a hidden motive was to introduce talk of gay and lesbian sex into the classroom.
Indeed, the bill calls for culturally sensitive education that takes into account lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. All of those words are absent from the 202 pages of health-education standards the state adopted in 2009.
Adrian Nava, a student from Aurora, said he is gay and felt ostracized in his sex-education classes.
I didnt completely understand how my way of loving was different from another persons way of loving, he said.
He supports Durans bill and said when people are open to difficult conversations, they stop being taboo.
The House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee advanced the bill on a 6-5 vote, and it now goes to the full House.
It wasnt the first time this week that the Legislature tackled a touchy social topic in the schools. On Monday, House Democrats defeated a Republican bill that would have encouraged teachers and students to question global warming and evolution.

For the second consecutive year, Shop 'n Save, 175 Flower Valley Shopping Center in Florissant, was inducted into the Missouri Lottery's Million Dollar Club, a group of 35 retailers, for selling more than $1 million in Lottery products last year. To celebrate the achievement, the Missouri Lottery hosted a customer appreciation event at the store on May 19.
"We are so proud of this retail partner," said May Scheve Reardon, executive director for the Missouri Lottery. "Lottery sales at this Shop 'n Save alone generated more than $330,123 for public education in calendar year 2013."
Reardon explained that the Million Dollar Club is a way to honor retail locations that are going above and beyond to raise money for a variety of programs, including A+ Scholarships, Virtual Schools, Special Education Excess Costs, Access Missouri, the Classroom Trust Fund, library acquisitions and educational scholarships.
"The customer appreciation event is our way to both celebrate the store's success and reward their customers by awarding prizes," Reardon said.
Players must be 18 years or older to purchase Missouri Lottery tickets.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Lost cats, especially indoor ones, have a terrible recovery record. Does your indoor cat wear a collar with ID? Probably not. Mine doesn't. We feel keeping it on is impossible. However, new findings suggest that our defeatist attitudes may actually prevent lost cats from returning home.
Almost three out of four cats wore collars consistently during a six month study, suggesting that most cats will tolerate a collar, even if their owners are skeptical about its success. The following details of the study come from an Ohio State University (8 Sept 2010) press release:
In almost 60% of the cases, the felines' tolerance of the collars exceeded the owners' expectations that the cat would keep the collar on without much trouble. The researchers say that these results suggest that veterinarians should discuss with cat owners the importance of a collar ID along with a microchip as a backup recovery method.
Another lesson from this study was that proper fit (with room for two fingers between the neck and collar) is essential. Owners should observe cats' behavior the first few days, when problems of the cats adjusting to the neckwear are more common.
Convincing cat owners that their pets, even indoor only cats, need identification is "a tremendous uphill battle," said Linda Lord, assistant professor of veterinary preventive medicine at Ohio State University and lead author of the study. "A lot of people start out with the dogma that cats can't wear collars, that they won't tolerate them or that they're dangerous. Now pet owners can look at this research and if they own a cat, maybe they will now consider that they will be able to put identification on them. A collar with an ID tag is probably a cat's greatest chance of ever being re-homed or brought back if it is lost."
Indoor-only cats can get lost easily. Lord's recommendations from this study are informed in part by her previous research, which has found that 40 % of lost cats in one community were indoor only cats, or that free-roaming cats without collars are very likely to either be fed by strangers – reducing the likelihood that they will return home – or to be ignored as strays.
"The return-to-owner rate is abysmal for cats. Fewer than 2 % of lost cats are returned to their owners," she said. "If we could get cat owners to try using a collar with identification, it would be a big deal." [Let me interject here: I agree. In 28 years visiting LI town shelters, I only recall seeing one lost cat reunited with his family. However, I wouldn't recommend putting a collar on a tiny kitten for safety reasons.]
The researchers recruited cat owners from veterinary colleges at Ohio State, the University of Florida, Texas A&M University and Cornell University. Cats were randomly assigned to wear one of three types of collars: plastic buckle, buckle collars designed to detach if they become caught on something, or elastic stretch safety collars. A total of 538 cats with 338 owners participated in the study. Of those, 391 cats, or 72.7%, wore their collars for the entire six-month study period.
Thirty-two animals were withdrawn from the study for various reasons. Owners of the 115 cats that did not successfully wear collars for six months reported the following reasons: The cat lost the collar (7.1 %); the cat scratched excessively at the collar (4.8 %); the collar continued to come off and the owner chose not to replace it (3.3 %); or the collar got stuck in the cat's mouth or on another object (1.5 %). Relatively few collars did come off, however. A total of 333 cats wore their collars without incident for the entire six months.
"Part of the success of a cat wearing a collar is the expectation of the owner. For some owners, if a collar came off once, they were done. Some put the collar back on their cat five or six times," Lord said. "For the Houdini cat that can constantly get the collar off, it may just not work for them. A cat can also lose a collar, and then an owner has to decide whether or not to replace it."
For those pet owners who are concerned that collars on cats can be dangerous, Lord noted that the study did indicate that there can be some risk associated with the collars. In 3.3 % of cases involving 18 cats, the collars got caught on the animal's mouth or forelimb, or on another object.
"I would never say that something like this can't happen," Lord said. "I would make an argument that a cat is much more likely to get lost and not be recovered than it is to be injured by a collar." Lord said that, especially for cats that cannot tolerate a collar, a microchip is an important and reliable form of identification in case the pets are lost.
Owners of 90% of the cats told researchers they planned to keep the collars on their cats after completion of the study. To me, that's one uphill battle won. Now to persuade the rest of cat-owning public. Then, onto the next campaign – to convince all shelters to scan every incoming pet for a microchip-dog or cat, owner surrenders and DOAs too; then to re-scan them, using all available models, since scanners can be temperamental and their accuracy dependent on the persistence of the people and batteries behind.

It seems that everyone has an opinion regarding having armed personnel at schools, whether or not to ban certain weapons and magazines, requiring licensing for possessing a hand gun along with finger printing of the purchasers ("Gun advocates detail plan to arm teachers," April 3). I have no agendas, so these views are based on common sense. As a grandparent, I would love to see an armed person at my grandchildren's schools.
I don't necessarily think it should be an educator but maybe someone that has experience in protecting such as veteran who has served and protected a nation. As they did protecting this country I am sure that they would give their lives to protect the children and educators in our schools. It's not a job, but an honor, much more effective than a locked door and a telephone.
Regarding the weapons ban; I have read it over and over again ("House passes gun control," April 4). I fail to see where there is anything suggested regarding imposing any new laws or restrictions on the criminals and mentally ill that are caught possessing a firearm or using it in commission of a crime. The only thing that I do see is that more restrictions regarding what a law abiding citizen must go through in order to purchase and own a firearm. Agenda? I think so. Common sense? None.

Michael's Laid Back Cottage Kitchen
We certainly appreciate the most modern of kitchens, but we also really love laid back and relaxed kitchens. Kitchens that make you want to throw on an old school apron and start mixing up cake mixes while channeling Ina Garten. Kitchens that look like a much needed breath of fresh air.
That much needed breath of fresh air is Michael's laid back cottage kitchen. Every bit of it is refreshing, from the color palette to the cabinet choices — we're loving it.
There's not a more winning color for the kitchen than a pale blue-green. It's calming, relaxing and inspiring all at the same time. It makes you want to cook, and it certainly pairs well with white cabinets and brushed nickel hardware.
Tthis kitchen has been brought back to life, and it was given a facelift to bring it back to its former glory. Michael describes his style as laid back cottage. California and granny chic are also apparent in this kitchen. He said he's attracted to vintage style pieces with a slightly worn look. His kitchen looks lived in and vintage, but not dated or drab. It's bright, fun and inspiring.
Michael accessorized the kitchen beautifully. The pots that line the top of the cabinets, the perfectly colored artwork as well as the Tolix Chairs (replicas of the Marais A chair, my personal favorite chair!).

Well folks, get ready for this one. These guys are going to blow the roof off the place. This is definitely a show not to be missed.
Hailing from the East Coast, the sensation known as Strangefolk plays the River City Saloon this Thursday. Music is scheduled to start at 9:30 p.m. There are advance ticket sales at the Saloon.
Strangefolk has been touring heavily on the national level to promote their newest CD, Open Road, recorded at Archer Studios outside of Burlington, Vt. during the summer of 2001.
Since its release on Oct. 12 at NYC's Irving Plaza, Open Road has garnered the praise of fans and music critics alike with its infectious grooves, blistering solos and introspective lyrics.
Strangefolk's live shows consistently draw capacity crowds in and around the Northeast, they're currently enjoying a steady rise in popularity in the Midwest, Rockies and West Coast as well.
Originally formed as an acoustic duo "Strange Folk" in 1991, Strangefolk (now one word) added bass and drums within a year and took to playing the bars in and around the vibrant musical community of Burlington, Vt.
In the years that followed, Strangefolk went on to build a national grassroots following based on the strength of three studio CD releases (Lore; 1996, Weightless in Water; 1997, and the Nile Rodgers produced A Great Long While; 2000), as well as a rigorous touring schedule, playing 150-200 gigs a year.
After undergoing a lineup change in the fall of 2000 when original band member Reid Genauer left the group, Strangefolk introduced singer/guitarist Luke Montgomery and keyboardist Don Scott to the musical mix.
Today the band touts a mailing list of over 20,000. Their latest release, Open Road showcases the band's depth, variety and continued growth as both songwriters and musicians.
Much like the community formed around the Grateful Dead, Strangefolk's road tripping fan base has begun to take on a life of its own, complete with its own philanthropic organization, Strangers Helping Strangers (SHS).
Since 1998, SHS has been traveling to shows in New England collecting donations for homeless shelters and food banks local to the venue area.

Commodities trader Glencore reported better-than-expected results on Tuesday, and seemed to stick to its guns over the pricing of its $30 billion bid for miner Xstrata.
Ivan Glasenberg, chief executive of Glencore, told reporters that the deal was not a "must-do" for the company at the moment, and it could return to the offer in the future.
He added that he "cannot understand" demands for a higher price from Qatar Holdings, a major Xstrata shareholder. The current offer is for 2.8-times earnings and Qatar wants 3.25-times earnings.
Glasenberg's remarks are the latest sally in a game of brinkmanship between Xstrata's two biggest investors.
Glencore reported adjusted earnings of $2.5 billion for the first half, a 25 percent fall from the same period in 2011, but better than the $2.4 billion forecast by an average of analysts' estimates. Pre-exceptional net income was $1.8 billion, down 26 percent, but it beat predictions of $1.6 billion. Its dividend was raised by 8 percent to $5.40 per share.
Shares in Glencore rose around 1.3 percent at the start of London trading after the results were announced.
Its earnings were hit by weaker commodity prices, particularly for copper, lead and zinc, and lower profits at Xstrata and Katanga mining. It owns substantial stakes in both companies.
The swings of commodity markets are not a surprise. What investors particularly wanted to hear about is whether there'll be any concessions on the price offered for the shares of Xstrata it doesn't own.
Glencore management said only that the deal is still "in progress" in a statement.
Analysts at Macquarie said in a recent note that Glencore shouldn't pay more than 2.9- to 3-times earnings. Recent disturbances at miner Lonmin, which is 25 percent owned by Xstrata, will not have softened Glencore's position.
Xstrata shareholders will meet to vote on the offer on September 7th. There have also been shareholder concerns about hefty pay packages to persuade Xstrata management to stay on post-merger.
Glasenberg said in a statement: "We neither anticipate nor assume any material improvement in overall market or economic conditions in the near term. We will continue to diligently look to our own growth pipeline and end markets to maximize performance for our shareholders."
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story said Glencore's bid for Xstrata was worth 30 billion pounds. It is in fact worth $30 billion.

Most of the resistance to this title seems to be more from anime/manga fans who are afraid it will taint the industry than from any religious group. Ask the average person on the street and they probably would have no idea what you are talking about. As much as fandom loves anime/manga, I would guess that the average American just doesn't care.

Troubling. Now I begin to wonder how much dropping the title (especially so close to the first volume's release) is/would costing/cost the company, as well as if they would sell the license to another North American manga distributor (which hasn't been scared away by "controversy," and I use quotes because most of the public controversy has been over the title's delays and not its actual content).
In any case, dropped... Say it ain't so!

Honestly, that thread over there was so full of random and meaningless arguments that I couldn't read the whole thing. The thing is, Kodomo no Jikan is a niche title. No one (well, very few people) is going to go to B&N or Borders, see this shrink-wrapped manga, read the summary, buy it, read it, then be disgusted and raise a ruckus (and by ruckus I mean actual action, not making rude comments on internet forums and blog sites). I want to walk into a business, purposefully choose my purchase, and buy it for my entertainment. That's being an informed consumer. If someone buys the manga and then proceeds to carry out some sick wish that includes a child, that person had problems before they read the manga. The fact that he/she purchased such a thing is a mere tangent in the overall problem.
I'm rather fed up at all these references to the words "loli" and "pedophilia" that people are stamping onto this title. Who cares? It's entertainment, and this is a free nation. If you are offended by something which can easily be completely ignored, choose to ignore it.

Ah well... at least for the moment, SevenSeas has taken down all their KnJ material and the forum while they consider. There are some posts of inquiry and support in the Talkback section of their forum.
It would be disappointing if they folded their cards based on the rants of a few people who haven't read the books. But it is rather simple - they have to sell enough books to cover their costs and make a minimum profit. If the larger chains won't carry it, they have to make the calculation.
Negima was shrinkwrapped for the lamest of reasons so I can see a chain just playing it safe.
EDIT: Its looking a *little* more bleak. ICv2 just reported that SevenSeas is dropping it. I'm putting a LOT of ?????? question marks on the report though (frankly it sounded a bit gossipy the way it was written). I'm going to wait til SevenSeas says something on their website before I'd call it confirmed.
... I wonder if they're considering a much more limited print run and sell it strictly online.

Day Two of the "orwellian erasure" of KnJ
No official response from SevenSeas. This has piqued a broad spectrum of my "jeffersonian/ACLU/witchburning" flags so I'll be keeping an eye on it.
There were some peripheral remarks made on Aoi Notes by the gomanga forum admin but they were a bit cryptic:
2) The word "cancellation" is used but it doesn't say if it's permament nor does it say whether they're dropping the license.
3) It says ANN is not to blame.... but since that site was a prime instigator in the affair and they were purposely distorting information, some rationale is necessary NOT to put blame. I do not buy the statement "Mistakes were made" as a blame diffusor.
More information as it arrives but really, SevenSeas needs to say something. Frankly I'd be disappointed but would quite understand if their vendors all took off like terrified rabbits because of any "lolita" whiff. At least I'd know to loathe the vendors for being completely inconsistent in their policy as they sell all sorts of other significantly more troublesome things
I'd go see what ANN is saying but I hate giving them any opportunity to increase their ad-views.

I understand that the "decision is final" but may I suggest that -- if you want to -- everyone just write a polite (as in, non-flame) e-mail to 7 Seas asking for Kojikan to be reconsidered? I just did, myself. If there's enough support for it, it will show the higher management that there are profits to be made from publication after all...
Someone somewhere suggested "web-only sales", which I thought might help alleviate problems, maybe.

Not wanting to distribute this title for the sake of manga's good reputation in the U.S. is a futile and an attempt of disillusioned people. Manga also serves to pedophile/lolicon crowds, and that's a fact even the cancellation of the local U.S. distribution won't change. If this fact disgusts anyone personally, they're free to leave the hobby, just don't try to spit on it like the people you've tried to educate in the past what manga/anime is all about.

Its also just a pretty interesting story about morals and the psychology of people. And I'll be the first to point out I'm unamused by the lead character's stuffed bear inferences which pander to that subset. But I was also quite disturbed by the rape scene in the remake of Cape Fear -- didn't mean it wasn't a fascinating story of hate and revenge.

Seeker of Power
I think they key word in that argument would be "implied." Granted, some of the images I've seen are quite direct.
I'd just like all the naysayers to take a step back. Look at the ages of a majority of female manga characters. 13-20 years old, roundabout. Would this series be any less troubling for these people if the girls were older? Think about it.

This is my first post here and I'm basking in the irony of my choice of name and this subject.
There's a part of me that says the Nazi book burners strike again. But there's a line to be drawn. Manga is a commercial art and for it to be successful there has to be commercial appeal without major public outcry that could hurt sales. FUD can be seen as public outcry. Phonies and "moralists" (can't lose the quotes) like FUD.
Other manga series came close to this line:
Spoiler for Cited Examples:
I, for one, think I would find the story hilarious. But that's just my twisted style. It's easy to predict that this title will ever garner enough support to be profitable. Without the controversy, it would have probably received a resounding "meh" by the critics.
My suggestion: Give the series the unimportance it deserves. If the story is so desirable; learn Japanese and buy the book over there. Most people in customs are not so judgmental.

To quote myself from the anime thread of the same series.....
"And it's very surprising that 50 years after the publication of Lolita, people are still as closed minded as ever. I guess this is a case of the more things changed, the more they stay the same.
Lolita has been laureled as a literary classic. But KnJ, a tamed spiritual successor, has been shoted down before it's release."

This is just gut-twisting stupid; droping a title just because a few people are displeased. Moreover, people who are not even the best informed about the content or the landscape of manga and anime in general (those who still don't want to accept hentai as another genre or are in denial about the positive influence of eroge in anime) and see porn in anything that seems at least a little off their norms.
Seven Seas should have made a more extensive research on the audience this was intented for. I think the "online buy only" idea was good enough; it is a very particular title as it is and those who want it, would have been able to find it.
Anyway, I wanted to say the Church Lady won this one, but this feels more like a victory for the crazy homeless guy outside the church.
And welcome CandyVanMan.

Regarding the choice of title.....
"Lolita" and "Nymphet". Just what are the difference ?
Granted that the general defination "Lolita" today derived from the context of the novel.
Would another choice of title have evaded the fate of the book as of today ? Perhaps "The Time Of Love For The Moe Girl" (Literal translation of the Taiwan Chinese edition) might have been more accepted.

For the interested, Lolita was published first in 1955 in English...in Paris! Nobody would touch the manuscript except for the Parisian publisher of erotic novels. Copies of the green-bound book were contraband and seized at customs inspections. It was later published in New York, in 1958 by Putnam.

Flour, milk and eggs: They're basic but revered, and deeply rooted in our culture. They seem to make almost everyone happy. Pancakes, dumplings, cakes and bread are just the beginning. They can be as simple as spaetzle, or as complicated as cream puffs.
I learned the wonder of these ingredients while watching my grandmother cook. Crumb cake, cornbread, pancakes and dumplings were easily crafted by her experienced hands. Tender loaves of eggy bread were delicious; sliced and toasted, then carefully spread with her jam.
Tea biscuits, hot out of the oven, were divine. One of the first things I made on my own were drop biscuits. I wasn't ready at the time to jump into a full-on tea biscuit yet. After making real tea biscuits, I was unstoppable. It seemed for a while that I was making them daily, either as a savoury bread or rolled up with brown sugar and cinnamon and baked into doughy, caramel goodness. I learned how to make pancakes and bread, simple cakes and muffins. Without the support of flour, eggs and milk, I wouldn't have had the career I have now. My first restaurant job was baking, and I loved it. I run across people from time to time who are afraid to let their children cook. This confounds me. Kids can stir and pour things into pans. They can measure and use their hands to mix dough. I remember cooking with my family so vividly and with so much love and longing that the big hole that would exist if those memories weren't there is unthinkable. There are a lot of great gifts to pass along to your children that have no tangible value, but will sustain them for life. No children? It's a gift to give yourself.
Dutch Baby with Orange Sugar
A Dutch Baby falls in between a pancake and a popover. They're good for brunch with fruit or berries on the side or add a scoop of ice cream for dessert.
You can make a savoury version by omitting the vanilla, cinnamon and orange sugar. Sprinkle the batter with 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese before putting it in the oven. Great as a side dish with stews or with a salad.
1/3 cup (80 mL) sugar
1/8 teaspoon (0.5 mL) ground cardamom
2 teaspoons (10 mL) grated orange zest
3 large eggs at room temperature
2/3 cup (160 mL) milk at room temperature
2/3 cup (160 mL) flour
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon (. 5 mL) cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon (. 5 mL) nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon (. 5 mL) salt
1/4 cup (60 mL) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Before you start assembling the ingredients, place a 10-inch (25 cm) preferably cast iron frying pan on middle rack of the oven and heat oven to 450 F.
Stir together sugar and zest in a small bowl and set aside for later.
Beat eggs with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and frothy. Beat in the milk, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and continue to beat until smooth, about 1 minute more. The batter will be thin.
Remove the frying pan from the oven and add the butter, swirling to melt it. Immediately add the batter and return to the oven.
Bake until puffed and golden-brown, 18 to 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the orange sugar. Serve immediately before it deflates.
Makes 2-4 servings
Cinnamon Bun Muffins
If you're feeling super lazy - and there's nothing wrong with that - you can bake this in an 8 x 8-inch pan and increase the baking time to 30 minutes.
3 cups (750 mL) all purpose flour
2/3 cup (160 mL) sugar
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) sea salt
4 teaspoons (20 mL) rapid rise yeast
1 1/3 cups (330 mL) milk at room temperature
3 tablespoons (45 mL) vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons (30 mL) unsalted butter at room temperature
2/3 cup (160 mL) brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon (4 mL) ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 cup (250 mL) icing sugar
1-2 tablespoons (15-30 mL) milk
Butter generously, or spray a 12-muffin pan with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and egg to the flour mixture. Beat well until smooth.
Divide the batter between the 12 cups in the muffin tin and let rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough rests, mix the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon together until the butter is incorporated and the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly on top of batter and briefly swirl it through each muffin with a table knife. Place the pan into a cold oven, then set the oven temperature to 350 F (175 C).
Bake for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges and the centre of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed. Let rest for five minutes then remove from the pan. Cool for at least 30 minutes.
Whisk the icing sugar and milk together to form an icing and drizzle it over muffins.
Makes 12 muffins
'I Want to Be Alone' Banana Chocolate Pancake
This large, single serving pancake is not gender-specific. Breakfast, dinner or dessert. Maybe even lunch.
1/3 cup (80 mL) flour
1 tablespoon (15 mL) rolled oats, any type
2 teaspoons (10 mL) brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) baking soda
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon (15 mL) unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
6 tablespoons (90 mL) plain yogurt or buttermilk
2 tablespoons (30 mL) chocolate chips
1/2 cup (125 mL) thinly sliced banana
1 teaspoon (5 mL) vegetable oil
The rest of the banana
Whisk the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Beat the egg, yogurt and butter together. Mix into the dry ingredients only until blended. The batter will be thick. Fold in the chocolate chips and banana slices.
Heat the oil in a medium, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the pancake batter and spread it out to around 8-inches (20 cm). Cook until bubbles form and pop on the surface of the pancake then flip it over. Continue cooking until golden brown on the bottom. Slice the rest of the banana and use it to garnish the pancake.
Makes 1 large pancake
Crumb Cake
A good crumb cake is half crumbs, half cake. And it goes well with coffee, tea or a glass of milk.
Don't be tempted to substitute all-purpose flour for the cake flour, or your cake will be tough and dry. The 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) baking soda — and no baking powder — in the recipe for the cake is correct.
Crumb Topping
1/3 cup (80 mL) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (80 mL) dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon (4 mL) ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon (. 5 mL) salt
1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, melted and still warm
1 3/4 cups (435 mL) cake flour
1 1/4 cups (310 mL) cake flour
(5 ounces)
1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) table salt
1/3 cup (80 mL) unsalted butter cut into 6 pieces, at room temperature
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract
1/3 cup (80 mL) buttermilk or plain yogurt
icing sugar for dusting
For the topping: Combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter until well mixed. Add the flour and stir until mixture forms a thick dough.
For the cake: Adjust your oven rack to upper-middle position and heat the oven to 325 F. Butter or spray an eight-inch (20 cm) square pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper allowing the excess to overhang edges of pan.
With a mixer on low speed, blend the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter one piece at a time and continue beating until mixture resembles moist crumbs with no butter chunks remaining. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla and buttermilk. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about one minute, scraping the bowl as needed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Break apart the topping into large pea-sized pieces and spread in even layer over the batter, beginning with edges and then working toward centre.
Bake until crumbs are golden and wooden skewer inserted into centre of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on wire rack at least 30 minutes. Remove cake from pan by lifting parchment overhang. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.
Makes 16 pieces

Yun-Fat Chow has teamed up with a whole bunch of people to reprise his role as Inspector Tequila in an all new Xbox 360 title called Stranglehold:
Midway Games Inc, a leading interactive entertainment publisher and developer, today announced Stranglehold, an intense action game currently in development for next generation consoles. Stranglehold is a collaboration with world renowned action film director, John Woo's (Face/Off, Hard Boiled, The Killer) Tiger Hill Entertainment and is scheduled to release in 2006. The project is currently in development at Midway's Chicago studio by the critically acclaimed Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy team, led by industry veteran Brian Eddy. Stranglehold, will bring John Woo's famous use of hyperkinetic, choreographed action and freeze framed sequences to the video game arena and will also feature the likeness and voice talent of international action film star, Chow Yun-Fat, (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hard Boiled, Bulletproof Monk) in his video game debut. Having worked together for several feature films, the dynamic duo, Yun-Fat and Woo, are teaming up once again, but this time bringing their expertise to the world of interactive entertainment.
"The video game industry continues to push the envelope, bridging the worlds of games and movies to produce revolutionary entertainment for consumers," said Steve Allison, Midway chief marketing officer. "To have John Woo creatively involved in Stranglehold and Chow-Yun Fat reprising his role as Inspector Tequila is truly a dream come true for fans of Hong Kong action movies. This game is the first pure example of the convergence of entertainment. Stranglehold is an example of what is possible in the next generation of video games as a viable approach to building a new IP as a gaming franchise that speaks to a fan base through its star and director, in the same way a film does."
"Creating, developing and producing original content for various facets of the entertainment industry is the mantra of Tiger Hill Entertainment and Stranglehold is one of our most ambitious projects yet," said John Woo, co-chief executive officer and co-founder of Tiger Hill Entertainment. "We are excited to work with Midway to create an interactive entertainment experience that filmgoers and gamers alike will appreciate and enjoy."
"After so many years of working with John Woo as a movie director, I'm thrilled to venture into the world of video games with Woo and Midway at the creative helm," said Chow Yun-Fat. "Being able to bring move-like action where people can watch and enjoy, to the world of video games where they can experience the adrenaline-filled action first hand is a great experience to be a part of."
About Stranglehold
Stranglehold, a third person, action/adventure game set in Hong Kong and Chicago, is being developed in collaboration with world renowned film director, John Woo. Featuring international action film star Chow Yun-Fat as Inspector Tequila, Stranglehold will feature much of the hyperkinetic, choreographed action and freeze framed sequences that Woo is known for.
We've got the first ever trailer online right here, although I'm hard pressed to tell if it's pre-rendered or actual in-game footage...

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Hostile Negotiation
At some point you will have received a call from Mallorie letting you know that Roman never came home from partying one night. It seems suspicious, but knowing how Roman can be, Niko will let her know that he's probably just partying or passed out somewhere or something. But eventually, you'll receive another, much more frantic phone call from her. It appears he's been kidnapped by the Russians. When you subsequently receive a text message from Dimitri with a picture showing Roman at gunpoint, you know for sure he's been kidnapped. You can find him in the borough of Bohan at the far southern end, in an abandoned warehouse off of Lompoc Avenue. Get there posthaste.
Upon arrival, you'll find the warehouse and its surrounding area in shambles. Naturally, you can't just drive up into the place, so ditch your car and walk up towards the goal shown on your HUD. Be absolutely positive to grab the machinegun sitting outside the door before hitting the arrow target -- you'll need it. When you finally do hit the arrow, you'll see a cutscene showing the position of many of the enemies within the building, as well as where Roman is being held on the very top floor. This mission is going to be a challenge. Do you have what it takes?
Select your first target from behind the wall and begin firing. As soon as you begin firing, of course, the dozens of foes in the building will be alerted to your presence, so expect to be fired upon from all angles. It's integral on the first floor that you clear all enemies on the main floor from behind the wall, since it's virtually impenetrable to enemy bullets. There are some explosive barrels in the area you can also use. When things seem to calm down in the middle of the first floor, you can then work your way into the center of the room to draw more fire from enemies on catwalks above. Once you've identified their location, you can seek cover behind a wall or pillar and aim your sights on them. When you stop taking fire from any location, you know it's safe to ascend the metal staircase to the second floor.

Back in 2006, Jim Lavoie, president of Rite Solutions, a Defense Department software contractor, wanted his employees to play a more active role in innovating new ideas. But he knew a top-down approach from management ordering such behavior wouldn't work. "Organizations that are smart enough to ask employees for ideas know that the best approach is to do it in a fun way," he says. "If it's not fun, it's work; and if it's work, it sucks."
So Lavoie created a game called Mutual Fun. Employees are given virtual money they can invest in ideas created by themselves or co-workers. If enough people in the company buy into an idea and it comes to fruition, those that have invested earn more money. Top earners appear on a leaderboard for all the participants to see and rewards for successful new products or services can be incorporated. Mutual Fun took off and now Rite Solutions sells Mutual Fun as a cloud-based software-as-a-service business application.
CIO Australia feature: What is gamification?
MORE GAMES: The 20 best iPhone/iPad games of 2012 so far
Rite Solution's Mutual Fun application represents an emerging area dubbed "gamification of the enterprise," which means incorporating game-like features to business applications or settings to encourage collaboration or engagement. It's a potentially big industry, some researchers predict. Constellation Research analyst R "Ray" Wang predicts that by the end of next year, half of social collaboration tools will have some competition, reward or game elements in them. Gartner predicts that by 2014, 70% of Global 2000 organizations will have incorporated gaming techniques, such as competition, recognition or role-playing, in at least one application.
"The big issue is that everyone's looking for a way to get people engaged," says Wang. "Everyone's looking for the things that will influence behavior." Competition and jockeying are a natural human traits that can be used to encourage people to do things they may not have done before, he argues.
It's a young and developing market, Wang says, but there are already a handful of companies offering platforms to build competition, reward and game-like features into business applications. Some of the bigger players include Badgeville, Bunchball, Big Door and Gigya, and Wang estimates $100 million has already been invested in the market. More established players in the collaboration and ERP market are evening getting in the game. Salesforce.com has an application named Nitro, which was developed by Bunchball and incorporates game mechanics into tracking sales figures. Its Chatter feature, which is the messaging platform in the software, has leaderboards that show which employees are most active on the site. Jive Software, a collaboration platform, also has a Bunchball-powered application that involves status levels, badges, team-based goals and competitions.
Early adopters of game applications have been across a variety of industries, from human resources to marketing and sales, Wang says. The idea can be used for both customer-facing programs that build a company's brand or encourage potential customers to use a business's product or service, or for internal collaboration use, such as in the Mutual Fun program. On the technology side, Wang says the requirements are fairly simple, ranging anywhere from installing a program that runs either on-premise or in a cloud-based software as a service model, or building customized applications using one of the platforms on the market already.
There are some skeptics, Wang admits, to the idea of bringing "Monopoly"-like fun and games to an enterprise setting. But Wang says fundamentally gamification of the enterprise is about taking a new approach to solving an old problem: It's a way of encouraging employees and customers to engage with the business. The difference today, he says, is there are tools to automate the process and track its success. Like with the consumerization of other IT functions, such as the trend of employees bringing their own devices to work or using their personally preferred applications, businesses are trying to find ways to incorporate these functions into business processes and applications for the benefit of the business.

BRUSSELS (AP) - January 29, 2013 --King Albert of Belgium has told 600 dignitaries that recent scandals involving his family have given him "a lesson in humility."
During a royal reception Tuesday for political, economic and cultural leaders, Albert acknowledged that the Belgian monarchy had not kept to the standards he expected.
He said "as the chief of my royal family, I will not hide from you that recent family events have hurt me and given me a lesson in humility."
Last week, Queen Fabiola, Albert's sister-in-law, was forced to scrap an inheritance foundation that was widely criticized as a tax dodge. And the king's son Prince Laurent again came under scrutiny for perceived diplomatic contacts that he should stay away from.

Justin Sanders was the bright spot for the Bisons with three hits, including a first inning triple. He has three triples this season.
It was also his seventh multi-hit game of the season and the second time he has recorded three hits in a game.
M.L. Williams also had two hits for the Bisons.
The Bisons opened with two runs in the first inning. Tyler Wilson was hit by a pitch and then stole second. Allen Bolden grounded to first base, moving Wilson to third. Sanders tripled to center field to score Wilson.
Tennyson Dodd was safe at first on a throwing error by MTSU's third baseman. Sanders scored on the play.
The Bisons would not score again until the eighth inning.
Bolden singled to third base. Sanders then singled up the middle. Bolden stole third and scored on a throwing error by MTSU's catcher. The next three Bisons batters went down in order, including two strikeouts.
Middle Tennessee scored one run in the fourth, three fifth and four in the eighth.
Charles Williams, 0-3, started on the mound for the Bisons. He threw six innings and gave up eight hits and four runs, two earned. He walked two and struck out five.
Matt Bowling relieved Williams and pitched the final two innings. He gave up three hits and four runs, all earned. Bowling walked one batter and struck out two.
The Bisons fell to 5-7. Middle Tennessee is 10-2.
The Bisons are back home at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium Friday and Saturday for a three-game Atlantic Sun series.

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. – The King University men's tennis team travel to take on Mount Olive College, who was undefeated in Conference Carolinas play. The Trojans came out and gained control of the duel match early en route to the 7-2 win.
Mount Olive (11-1, 7-0 CC) started the day with an 8-1 win at No. 3 doubles and followed that with 8-4 and 8-3 wins at No. 2 and No. 1 doubles, respectively.
Pablo Vidal gave King their first win of the day as he defeated Gabriel Santana 6-4, 6-2 at No. 2 singles. William Boyce defeated Jack Framton 6-0, 1-6, 10-5 at No. 6 singles to give the Tornado (7-5, 1-3 CC) another win. However, it wasn't enough as the Trojans won the other four singles matches to take the duel match 7-2.
King will be in action again on Tuesday when they travel to Lees-McRae College. The duel match is scheduled to start at 2:00 p.m.

Aereo: Has No One Noticed It's Insane That We're Being Accused Of Infringing BECAUSE We Carefully Followed The Cablevision Precedent?
from the ridiculous-copyright-fights dept
If you don't follow this stuff closely, a few years back, there was a ruling in the same appeals court, that found that Cablevision's remote DVR system was basically legal. As we noted at the time, it was the right decision, though for ridiculously convoluted reasons, which really showed just how ill-prepared copyright law is for modern technology and innovation. That ruling, however, is a key one that Aereo is relying on to argue that its remote streaming system is legal. So its 90+ page filing is basically page after page of Aereo trying to explain why it's just like Cablevision.
For the most part, I find its arguments compelling -- as they also clearly highlight how the broadcasters are basically looking to have a veto on innovations they don't like, and why that doesn't serve the public interest. They highlight that the broadcasters argument seems to be that copyright law is designed to protect them, rather than the public interest. Aereo points out that they're mistaken in this claim.
While Appellants imply that the sole purpose of the Copyright Act is to protect content owners, the Act was instead intended to strike the proper balance between copyright owners, on the one hand, and public access to information on the other.... Congress expressly and deliberately exempted "private" performances from copyright protection. Further, consumers have a right of access to local over-the-air broadcast television. There is no basis in law to confine that use to a home-based antenna or equipment, to fully time-shifted copies (whether on VCR, DVR, or RS-DVR), or to only non-Internet related deployment. Indeed, contrary to what may be the view of certain Appellants and amici, copyright laws were never intended to be used to confine consumers to outdated technology. The reality is that the networks fought VCRs, and they fought remote DVRs, and they lost in both cases. This is simply another attempt to preserve the status quo as a business matter without regard to fundamental copyright principles.There is, also, a somewhat amusing response to the claims made by the broadcasters that Aereo should be found guilty for doing everything possible to avail itself of the specifics in the Cablevision case. They argue -- as we've seen some commenters on our posts argue -- that Aereo's specific technical decisions show that it was somehow intending to avoid the spirit of the law... by complying with the letter of it. Basically, they're complaining that Aereo may be jumping through a legal loophole they hadn't noticed. However, as Aereo points out, this argument really should work in Aereo's own favor, as the networks are basically admitting, flat out, that Aereo was doing everything it possibly could to live within the confines of the law:
Finally, both Appellants and amici argue that the Aereo technology is an "artifice" or some clever attempt to get around copyright law. Essentially, Appellants are arguing that Aereo carefully designed its system to comply with Cablevision. There is considerable irony in Appellants' suggestion that Aereo is somehow culpable because it carefully designed its system to comply with copyright law.Of course, it's interesting to note that one of the amici briefs on the other side came from Cablevision itself. This is a pretty cynical and obnoxious move from Cablevision. Having already won its legal fight that made the remote DVR legal, it knows that Aereo is actually potentially competitive. So rather than cheering another innovator on, following down the road it paved, Cablevision cynically jumps in to protect its turf and pretend that the ruling it fought so hard for doesn't apply to Aereo. I've included Cablevision's ridiculous brief below as well, in which it argues that it has a "direct interest in the proper interpretation" of the decision in its own case. That's hogwash. Cablevision's position here is solely to abuse copyright law and an important decision on its own behalf to now crush a competitor.
Oh, and in checking in on the docket on the case, I should mention that the silly amicus brief we talked about from former Register of Copyrights, Ralph Oman, in which he argued that new technologies should be illegal until Congress gives explicit approval, was amusingly rejected by the court for failing to comply with filing requirements. The court noted that it had given Oman "due notice" and he had not fixed the problems with his filing. However, after this rejection, he was able to refile yesterday...
Either way, this case really seems to be bringing out the crazy, crazy anti-innovation, anti-competition arguments from the pro-copyright crowd.

Campus Security presents "Sex Signals" to coincide with Sexual Assault Awareness MonthUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Marketing & Communications Manager, Campus Services, Marketing
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's Campus Security is sponsoring three performances of Sex Signals, a nationally recognized sexual assault prevention program that incorporates improvisation, humor, education, and audience interaction. The hour-and-a-half program is designed for college and military audiences and provides a provocative look at dating, sex, and the core issue of consent. The performances are being offered free of charge to all UH Mānoa students, faculty, and staff on Tuesday, April 30, at 10:30 a.m. and at 1:30 p.m. in Kuykendall Auditorium (Room 101). Campus Security and the Department of Athletics are also hosting a presentation of Sex Signals for student-athletes and Athletics staff only. Counselors from UH Mānoa's Counseling and Student Development Center will be available immediately after each of the presentations to offer support to any audience members who might need it.
Through improvisation and audience interaction, Sex Signals explores how social pressures, gender stereotypes, unrealistic fantasies, and false preconceptions all contribute to the tensions often found in dating. Then, through a semi-improvisational scene, the presenters demonstrate how these and other factors can lead to sexual assault. The play closes on an empowering note, encouraging the audience to provide solutions for creating safer and healthier interpersonal sexual relationships, and to brainstorm how, as bystanders, they could positively intervene when they witness someone in a vulnerable situation that could lead to sexual violence.
Captain and Acting Chief Alberta J.K. Pukahi of UH Mānoa's Campus Security has worked closely with the University's Women's Center, Judicial Office, and Counseling and Student Development Center on sexual assault cases for more than ten years. "I had heard excellent reports about Sex Signals, which has been performed on Oʻahu military bases, and April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, so when the opportunity came up to bring it to Mānoa, I jumped at the chance. An important part of the work of our Security unit is to not only protect those who study and work here, but to educate them on how they are also responsible for keeping themselves safe, as individuals and as a community."
Sex Signals is a production of Chicago-based Catharsis Productions. Founders Christian Murphy and Gail Stern met at a one-act comedy play competition. Combining their experience in theatre, advocacy, comedy, and education, they developed the piece in 2000. Since then, it has been performed more than 4000 times at over 900 colleges and military installations around the world and reached over 1.2 million people. Touring to Honolulu this April are veteran Sex Signals presenters Chris Sanders and Courtney Abott.

Unbeatable at home.
Undeniably bad on the road.
The Seattle Seahawks (6-5) play in one of the NFL's most remote outposts. It's partly why they are so dominant at home, going 5-0 with three victories by at least 10 or more points this season while playing before one of the rowdiest fan bases in football.
Unbeatable at home.
Undeniably bad on the road.
The Seattle Seahawks (6-5) play in one of the NFL's most remote outposts. It's partly why they are so dominant at home, going 5-0 with three victories by at least 10 or more points this season while playing before one of the rowdiest fan bases in football.
But on the road, the Seahawks are a woeful 1-5 this season and need to solve the problem fast if they want to consider themselves a playoff contender. Seattle goes to Chicago on Sunday for its next-to-last road game and a victory over the Bears would go a long way toward helping the Seahawks keep a grip on the final playoff spot in the NFC.
"It's a mystery I wish I could figure out. At home I know the '12th Man' we love them, it's like our comfort zone. Anywhere else just feels like it's out of our comfort zone," said Seattle linebacker Leroy Hill, one of two Seahawks players remaining from the 2005 NFC championship team. "We tend to make it a struggle. Even the games we win we tend to make it a closer game. But I wish I could figure it out."
The road problems aren't new. Seattle's struggles outside the Northwest are a long-standing issue that is a mix of having to travel more than any other team in the NFL and often playing what feels like a morning start when going to the Eastern or Central time zones.
And those issues become more glaring because of how good the Seahawks are at home.
Since Seattle opened its new stadium before the start of the 2002 season, the Seahawks are 56-29 at home, including an 8-0 mark in 2005 on their way to the Super Bowl and a 7-1 home record in 2007.
On the flip side, Seattle is just 31-55 on the road during the same time span and 12-34 since 2007. In the Eastern time zone alone, Seattle is 7-20 over the last 10 years.
"We just have to learn how to get over that hump, know that we're a good team and finish games no matter whether home or on the road. We have to figure out how to win those games and until then we'll just be middle of the pack," Hill said.
The bottom of Seattle's road swoon seemed to come during the 2009 season when the Seahawks lost four of their final five road games in their only season under Jim Mora. The Seahawks were outscored 148-46 in losses at Arizona, Minnesota, Houston and Green Bay.
Pete Carroll arrived, but success on the road didn't immediately follow. In 2010, Seattle made the playoffs, but was 2-6 and outscored by 100 points as the visiting team. Last season, the Seahawks were 3-5 on the road but far more competitive, including a win over the eventual Super Bowl champion Giants.
This season, being competitive isn't enough. The Seahawks have been in every game to the final moments, yet their only win was a 16-12 victory at Carolina.
There was a dropped fourth-down pass at the goal line in the final seconds of the season opener at Arizona. There was Russell Wilson's intended receiver falling down, which turned into an interception late at St. Louis. Against San Francisco, the Seahawks defense was gashed by inside runs. In Detroit, the Seahawks defense couldn't stop the Lions on third down and Matthew Stafford's TD pass with 20 seconds left had Seattle smarting after a 28-24 loss.
Then came last week in Miami, where the Seahawks defense gave up 17 fourth-quarter points, capped by rookie Ryan Tannehill leading the Dolphins 65 yards in the final 92 seconds and Dan Carpenter's game-winning field goal at the gun.
Five losses by a combined 24 points that could be the reason Seattle doesn't reach the postseason.
"I can't imagine if anybody has been in more close games on the road than we've been in," Carroll said. "... We're close enough and we know the things are there for us, and we have to make it happen."
Seattle is one of three teams in playoff contention in the NFC with a losing record on the road, and along with Minnesota the only one with just one road victory. The flip side is Seattle is one of three teams undefeated at home, joining Baltimore and Atlanta.
If Seattle stumbles in Chicago the Seahawks will get one more shot at road success in two weeks against Buffalo in Toronto. Getting one of the two road games seems like a must if the Seahawks are going to make the playoffs.
"We're so close in every game, it comes down to one or two plays basically," Wilson said.

Visual walkthrough Booting process
Please see: Visual_Tour:_Boot-menu_Sabayon_LiveCD/DVD
When having a old NVidia card, and downloaded latest ISO's, chances are that they will not start the WM/DE, but rather present you with a black screen.
There is nothing wrong with the ISO's, it is because "nvidia-drivers-304.64" or higher is installed by default.
You can bypass that by hitting ctrl-alt-f1, remove the nvidia-drivers, (nouveau is installed too)
and restart xdm:
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
For a overall view of which cards support what driver., please see:

Captain's ReportSea-Doo's Biggest Musclecraft By Capt. Vince DanielloTest CaptainFor me, speed is a great thing, but raw power is much better. Who wants to go fast in a tiny little two-seater when you can go fast in a big, heavy machine with lots of horsepower? That was the philosophy behind the classic muscle cars of the 1970's: a large car with room for few friends and their stuff, and a big, powerful chunk of American iron under the hood. That is also the driving force behind Sea-Doo's 2005 RXT. The company cranked up the horsepower on their biggest engine and put it in their large, 3-passenger personal watercraft hull. Sure there may be a few slightly faster PWC's on the water, but not with room for three and lots of storage.Power and PerformanceA supercharger forces air into the cylinders like a turbocharger, but without the delay common on turbochargers, giving the Sea-Doo immediate throttle response. This year Sea-Doo added an intercooler which increased the output of their 1494cc engine to 215 horsepower (up from 185 last year.) An intercooler cools the charged air before it reaches the pistons, which makes the air denser and therefore creates a better air and gas mixture within the cylinders. This amplifies the effects of the supercharger, and also allowed Sea-Doo to adjust the engine timing for even better acceleration. Our tests showed the increase, a little over 3 mph faster at top end and a noticeably quicker time from 0 to 30 mph. Our test model achieved a top end speed of 63.1 mph at full throttle. Because the RXT is a large boat with a V-hull, it powers through choppy water when a small, light PWC would have to slow down for comfort.Retro DesignOf course power is only part of the equation. Sea-Doo dressed out the boat with black and chrome accents clearly reminiscent of early seventies automobiles. The instrument display for instance, with chrome accents and bright red needles in retro-styled analog speedometer and tachometer that could have come right out of an old 'Vette or 'Stang. For a moment I found myself searching for the 8-track player. Looking at the RXT, it's easy to see the muscle car motif wasn't an afterthought. These accents are not just applied decals, but molded plastic trim that in many cases is integral to the design of the boat.FeaturesWhile the RXT may have retro styling, it isn't at the expense of modern design and convenience. The modern gauges look cool and are functional, but Sea-Doo included their multifunction digital display with a host of additional information. Other features only found in personal watercraft of recent vintage include Sea-Doo's digitally encoded security key, and the company's "learning key" which limits the engine to 5,500 RPM for less experienced riders.After testing the boat, I'd have to say Sea-Doo has accurately captured both the look and feel of the muscle car, in a modern, full-feature personal watercraft. Whether you're into the seventies look or not, with 215 horsepower in an eleven-foot-long personal watercraft, it is hard not to appreciate riding the biggest, baddest PWC on the water.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Sea-Doo RXT (2006-) is 63.1 mph (101.5 kph), burning gallons per hour (gph) or N/A liters per hour (lph).
- Time from 0 to 30 of the Sea-Doo RXT (2006-) is 2.0 sec. seconds.

Fabienne and Kobe's Tranquil, Earthy Over-the-Tracks Parisian Flat
Name: Fabienne Séveillac & Kobe Van Cauwenberghe
Location: La Chapelle, Paris, France
Size: 600 square feet
Years lived in: 10 months (rented)
Thanks to their seventh story walk-up, Fabienne and Kobe are in excellent aerobic shape — a benefit for most, but especially for two musicians who often find themselves holding a sung note for inordinate lengths of time, or boldly scurrying around the neck of a guitar. Their top-floor flat has other advantages as well, not least among them, the extraordinary views.
In fact, gazing out Fabienne and Kobe's beautiful French windows is an activity in itself. Overlooking the tracks that flare out from the Gare de l'Est train station in northern Paris, the apartment offers an excellent vantage point from which to watch the trains coming in from places like Belgium, where Kobe, a guitarist, hails from.
Three tall windows span the main room, a nice wide space that's perfect for social gatherings. Hints of mauve and magenta add subtle panache to the living room's serene desert hues, while the deep crimson of a dining room wall enhances the apartment's cozy, romantic ambiance. You'll also notice little aspects of New York City here and there. Souvenirs from the couple's time as students in New York City hang on the walls or entice from the book shelves.
Textures of stone, wood, and cloth combine in elements like the curtains Fabienne made from her great-grandmother's hand-embroidered sheets, and a corner bookcase embellished with soft pebbles (courtesy of a former tenant). A mishmash of chairs add character around the dining room table where Fabienne presents one of her other passions — cooking. When the mezzo-soprano isn't rehearsing for an upcoming Sound Initiative concert with Kobe in the apartment's second bedroom-turned music studio, she's in her kitchen, which is big by Paris standards, skillfully preparing delicious meals from ingredients collected from the Middle Eastern, African, and French markets not far from her home. They're not the Park Slope Food Coop, where Fabienne packaged cheeses during her time in New York (a coveted member shift), but they'll do.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Eclectic.
Inspiration: Friends' places, trips to foreign cities, flea markets.
Favorite Element: The light and the possibility for us to practice our music pretty much anytime, as we live on the top floor.
Biggest Challenge: The stairs!! (6th/US 7th floor without elevator, sooo Paris).
What Friends Say: French friends say 'it's huge', Belgian friends say 'how tiny and cozy!'
Biggest Embarrassment: Those stairs!
Proudest DIY: The book and CD shelves, and the kitchen shelves. We needed extra room for books and CDs and I used the empty spaces to build custom shelves.
Biggest Indulgence: Our fancy Moulinex food processor — made to last 30 years hopefully!
Best Advice: Don't try too hard!
Dream Sources: Flemish designer Jan Pauwels' lamps, and contemporary lighting in general.
Resources of Note:
• Sofa: Habitat
• Coffee table, dining table: Fabienne's parents DIY
• Corner antique table: Fabienne's family (all French people get one like this from their family)
• Chairs: mostly vintage (Thonet from Kobe's family; white French school chair picked up in the street)
• Nightstand in the bedroom Fabienne found on the street.
• Vintage mirror and white lantern found on the street in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
• Madura, Ikea, Habitat
• I brought the living room rug from Azrou, Middle Atlas, Morocco
• Fabienne transformed some antique family sheets her great great grandmother embroidered into curtains for the living room.
