See/Saw: Connections Between Japanese Art Then and Now is a 176-page book that details the connections between old and modern art from Japan. See what I did there? But is this just Japanophile pandering, or is See/Saw something you can keep on your coffee table for your highbrow friends to talk about after a rousing day of croquet? Hit the link for our review.
See/Saw actually isn't for otaku or the art snobs. It's somewhere in the middle. If you look at the cover and think "Gundam Mk. II? Awesome," you'll probably be disappointed. If you were intrigued by both the giant robot and the samurai, the book is probably for you.
There's barely any anime or manga in the book. Off the top of my head, all I can think of is a frame from an Akira manga. Superflat pieces make a few appearances and there's nothing from the realm of videogames. But other than that, the book's feet are firmly planted in the fine art camp.
That said, it certainly isn't inaccessible. I'm definitely not a fine art person, but I got a lot of enjoyment out of all the glossy pages. There are 140 images to stare at, which are are made up of paintings, illustrations, pottery, sculptures, stills from video installations, and more.
The gist of the book, if you couldn't tell by the subtitle, is comparing old and new Japanese art. According to the authors, mimicking others isn't seen as an artistic crime in Japan; it's actually an accepted and normal thing to do. Turning your own work into an homage is very common and is often seen as a positive aspect of a work. The authors clearly present this in both the writing and the side-by-side comparisons of art.
To be honest, See/Saw didn't touch upon something that I had hoped it would. I've often heard that the styles of anime and manga are a direct result of the craft of Japanese woodblock prints. As far as I know, creating woodblock prints was a bit like silk-screening shirts today: You go color-by-color, layer-by-layer until you've stacked several images on top of one another. I can never tell if this is true or if people are romanticizing anime and manga, trying to raise their artistic merit. I guess I'll never know.
So, to bring this pretty short review to an end, I'd say See/Saw is an enjoyable book that will last you a week or two. At nearly $28, the price is pretty steep, so I'd recommend waiting for it to go on sale. $20 would be a more reasonable price. And, oh hey, look at that. It's on sale at Amazon right now for less than $20.

|Pamela Ibis
|Japanese Name
|158 cm (5 '2 ' ') (A18)
|Parasol (A4, A5, A13)
|Appears In
|A4, A5, A6, A8, A9, A11, A12, A13, A17, Trinity Universe, A18
| Yūko Kagata (A4, A5, and A6)
Asuka Tanii (A9, A11, A12, A13, and Trinity Universe)
Brianne Siddall (English, A9, A11, A12, and A13)
Pamela Ibis (パメラ・イービス) is a recurring character in the Atelier series.
Pamela is a cheerful and flirty ghost who has played various roles. She has appeared in ten of the core games.
Her first appearance was in Atelier Judie: The Alchemist of Gramnad, and her last appearance was in Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book.
One particular recurring point with Pamela in each of her appearances is that she can never recall the circumstances surrounding her death. It never comes to light, even through sidequests related to her, and is always kept a mystery (with the exception of Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana). Despite the rather dark ambiguity that involves her unknown demise, she has grown accustomed to being a ghost and makes the most of her spectral existence. This is often noted in that she enjoys scaring others as a practical joke and is always in good spirits.
Atelier Judie & Atelier VioletEdit
- Main article: Pamela Ibis (Gramnad)
Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana Edit
In Atelier Iris, Pamela appears as a ghost who is friends with some of the children of Kavoc.
Pamela can't remember how she died, or where her corpse is, so she wanders around hoping to find it and restore her lost memories. Despite this gloomy mission, she remains upbeat. She enjoys being a ghost and sneaking up on people. She also becomes smitten with Arlin if you talk to her while he's in your party. Despite Arlin's straightforward words of rejection, after an initially dramatic outburst by Pamela where she believed Arlin to be a ghost like her, she becomes her upbeat self again after realizing he's alive, and requests that they go out once he's a ghost, too.
Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm Edit
Pamela Ibis encounters Edge Vanhite and his party at the Grimoire Castle as the librarian and occasionally provides them with help.
Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis Edit
- Main article: Pamela Ibis (Mana Khemia)
Pamela appears as playable character in Mana Khemia.
Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland Edit
Pamela is a shopkeeper in Atelier Rorona.
Rorona discovered her in the Catacombs inside of a teddy bear. Pamela decided to stay in Arland, but became bored easily. She later opens up a shop next to R&T Sundries.
Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland Edit
Pamela again appears as shopkeeper in Atelier Totori.
She now has a physical body and has moved to Alanya due to a desire to see the ocean. She sells wares at her own store in the village. Her physical body was a sort of doll created for her by Astrid. In order to help Totori and her friends enter the Liechtein Soehnle, she offers up her ghost body as a sacrifice. Totori is shocked as, up until that point, nobody in the village of Alanya was aware that she was actually a ghost.
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland Edit
Pamela has moved from Alanya to Arls to open her own store in Atelier Meruru.
Meruru can register items at Pamela's Store. She has abandoned her human body, and has decided to go with her ghost body. She is delighted by the initial scared reactions of the people in the kingdom, as everyone where she lived before has long since grown used to her being a ghost.
She is available as a downloadable character for the Playstation 3 edition, and can be purchased from the Playstation Network. In Atelier Meruru Plus, she is recruitable as a party member after an event in Pamela's shop that will occur at least 30 days after Rorona has become recruitable.
Trinity UniverseEdit
In Trinity Universe, Pamela appears as a ghost who works at an inn on Empyria. She likes to pull pranks on others, with Prinnies being her favorite ones to pull pranks on. She is cheerful, but often sounds like she doesn't have any real opinion. She is an old friend of Violet Platane and a friend to the demon dog king Kanata. She is considered "empty-headed" by Etna, and together with Flonne, the two make up the "Broken Brain Duo".[1]
Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book Edit
Pamela is a nun at Kirchen Bell's church and will exchange items for donations. Unknown to Sophie at first, she died a long time ago and is actually a ghost. She knows the citizens of Kirchen Bell very well and is often seen taking care of a group of children.

Newcomer offers her first impressions of Plainview
Published 4:47 pm, Friday, June 15, 2012
My first impressions of Plainview have been remarkably favorable, and I look forward to getting to know this community and its people,
But today this newcomer will share some first encounters with you.
The first Plainview dweller I met was a front desk attendant at Holiday Inn Express. When she learned I might be relocating here from Midland, the stranger named Shelly reached out like a friend. She not only provided tips as I searched for housing possibilities, but offered the assistance of a family member if I wanted someone to show me around town. But it didn't take long before I realized there were a lot of "Shellys" here in Plainview. A real estate agent named Debbi went out of her way trying to help me find a suitable rental situation, even though there was no commission in it for her. Again, a stranger reached out like a friend.
When I returned to Plain view less than two weeks later, I had accepted the managing editor position and returned to find a place to live.
That was on Memorial Day, when a touching scene unfolded. With no reporter in sight, I heard a fire call on the newsroom scanner and fumbled my way to the address. As with many reports of smoke, the "fire" turned out to be nothing.
But then I realized I was in trouble, at least potentially so.
Busy and distracting events of the day meant I hadn't refueled upon arrival to Plainview. The gas gauge alerted "zero miles to empty."
That's when I saw him.
The elderly man in a wheelchair — I'm guessing a World War II veteran — was near the curb proudly carrying his American flag. He would be my hero that afternoon.
The man cast a friendly wave and I asked him for directions to the nearest gas station. He smiled and seemed glad to help. I thanked him hastily, and wished him a happy Memorial Day. In my moment of panic, that old veteran got me to the nearest gas station.
Later I regretted not getting out of my car, shaking his hand and thanking him for his service to our country. He certainly deserved that much and if I ever come across him again, that's what will happen. (If you're reading this, sir, thank you.)
On my first day at work Tuesday, I got to meet some city officials at a council meeting. Like everyone else, they welcomed this newcomer with warm kindness. I also liked how our city leaders revered God with a prayer before conducting business.
Then there are the gracious employees of the Plainview Herald, who welcomed me with open arms, several cheerfully assisting me with relocation issues. But as I have learned quickly, going "above and beyond" is a trait that runs through this newspaper and community,
So I think I'm going to like it here, and look forward to getting to know you — the Plainview Herald reader — as my new journey embarks.
As will always be the case, I'd love to hear from you, and meet you in person when our paths cross in Plainview.
And given the size of our charming town, surely they will.

Ontrack Data International, Inc. provides update on electronic discovery services
Revises second quarter guidance
MINNEAPOLIS, May 24, 2001 - ONTRACK Data International, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDI), today provided updated information on the Company's electronic discovery services. The Company also announced it expects revenue for second quarter ended June 30, 2001 to be in the range of $11.0 million to $11.5 million and the loss per diluted share before amortization of goodwill to be in the range of ($0.11) to ($0.15).
The revised revenue and earning guidance is due to recent customer feedback about the status of the mergers and acquisitions marketplace, a market segment Ontrack is currently dependent on for its electronic discovery services, and softness in the Company's retail software utility business.
"Recent conversations with several clients in the legal market were in sharp contrast to those just a few weeks ago and suggest that in the short term, a significant percentage of merger and acquisition transactions have either been cancelled or will be delayed thus impacting the immediate need for electronic discovery," said Mike Rogers, chief executive officer of Ontrack. "This underscores the importance of our stated strategy to aggressively pursue the significantly larger civil litigation marketplace in order to lessen our dependence on a limited number of anti-trust cases each year. We continue to believe in our long-term electronic discovery strategy to broaden our reach in the civil litigation marketplace."
In the last week, Ontrack expanded its Washington D.C. office to include electronic discovery solutions and introduced the trade name "DataTrail™" which will be utilized within the legal community to more accurately describe the Company's Electronic Information Management service offering.

Catholic Communications, Sydney Archdiocese,
18 Oct 2013
18 Oct 2013
St Vincent de Paul Society NSW has launched a Bushfire Appeal to help victims of the devastating and on-going bushfire emergency. More than 2000 fire fighters continue to battle blazes across the Blue Mountains, at Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley, Balmoral and Bargo in the Southern Highlands and at Wyong on the Central Coast.
Hundreds of homes are feared destroyed with many hundreds of people left homeless with little more than the clothes they are wearing.
Five teachers and seven students from two Catholic schools at Springwood in the Blue Mountains are among those who have lost their homes.
This morning news also broke that the fire emergency had claimed its first victim with the death of a 63 year old man who suffered a fatal heart attack while fighting to save his house from the approaching inferno at Lake Munmorah on the NSW Central Coast.
Premier Barry O'Farrell described the situation as the gravest bushfire emergency in NSW in more than a decade. He also believes it will be a miracle if there are no more casualties as a result of the monstrous fires which have burned more than 100,000 hectares of land so far and shrouded Sydney with smoke and ash.
"Vinnies members work and live in the communities affected by these fires which means we will be there for the long haul, helping people rebuild their lives in any way possible for as long as they need," says Ray Reynolds, NSW State Council President of St Vincent de Paul Society NSW when announcing details of the NSW Bushfire Appeal this morning.
Although Vinnies op shop stores in Springwood and Katoomba had to close early for staff to rush home to protect or check on their family and their homes, members nevertheless have already given clothes from the stores to many of those who have been made homeless or are unable to return home because of the fires.
With many local residents evacuated to the Springwood Sports Centre and Bowling Club, Vinnies stepped in last night to provide mattresses and blankets for those forced from their homes.
"Members leapt into action last night supplying blankets and mattresses for the evacuation centre as soon as they heard they were needed," says Deacon Tony Hoban, Executive Officer for Vinnies- Parramatta.
Vinnies Springwood Centre at 272 Macquarie Road Springwood is also offering assistance to those who may need it, including food vouchers to those affected by the fires.
"Many of our Vinnies members in the Blue Mountains have lived there for decades and are extremely skilled at knowing what is needed in an emergency and how to help. They are all extremely generous with their time and their hearts and are doing whatever needs to be done to bring comfort as well as practical help to those affected by these fires," he says.
Vinnes is well known for hitting the ground running in times of natural disasters, and is always there to assist whenever there is a drought, flood or bushfire emergency.
Although in times of these emergencies the public are keen to donate clothing, blankets and furniture, Vinnies and other welfare agencies say that financial donations are the most effective way of helping.
"For the hard hit communities, financial as well as emotional assistance is vital," says Michael Perusco, CEO of Vinnies NSW, and says financial donations enable those on the ground to provide the right sort of assistance to the people who need it most.
He also says that in the difficult weeks and months ahead when the shock begins to wear off and the trauma of the fire and all that has been lost starts to hit home, Vinnies will be there, offering friendship, compassion and practical assistance as people start rebuilding their homes and their lives.
Springwood and surrounding communities in the Blue Mountains remain some of the hardest hit areas with at least 40 homes - and possibly many more - destroyed by the fast moving inferno yesterday.
For students at St Columba's Catholic High School and at St Thomas Aquinas Primary School as well as for staff and parents it was a tense and difficult afternoon as the encroaching fire forced the evacuation of both schools. As sirens wailed, fire trucks raced to the scene, water bombing helicopters whirred overhead and fire fighters put their lives on the line, students were taken to the evacuation centre at the Springwood Sports Club before finally being reunited with their parents several hours later.
Today both schools remain closed along-with Winmalee Public School.
Students at McCarthy Catholic College, Emu Plains have also been advised their school was closed to all but those pupils sitting HSC exams. According to the Parramatta Catholic Education Office this is to make room for any Year 12 students from Columba's High School to continue their HSC examinations at McCarthy.
The NSW Board of Studies however has reassured HSC students in fire affected areas to liaise with their school's principal and if cut off from an exam centre, to remain where they are and stay safe.
"Students unable to attend an examination due to a natural disaster are eligible to lodge an illness/misadventure appeal to ensure they are not disadvantaged," the Board says.
For youngsters in the fire-ravaged Springwood area, the Parramatta Catholic Education Office made provision for youngsters who normally attend St Thomas Aquinas Primary School and need supervision today to be cared for at the St Finbar's Primary School, Glenbrook.
A full assessment of St Columba's High and St Thomas Aquinas Primary Schools will take place once it is safe to do so but it is believed at this stage that the schools have only suffered peripheral damage.
The Bishop of Parramatta, Bishop Anthony Fisher OP said late today he understands homes, property and even some schools in the Diocese are still threatened by the fires
but thanked the Rural Fire Service, NSW Police and all volunteers for their courageous efforts in protecting human life and property to date.
but thanked the Rural Fire Service, NSW Police and all volunteers for their courageous efforts in protecting human life and property to date.
"I also want to recognise and thank Mr Sergio Rosato, Principal of St Thomas Aquinas, and Mr Phil Stewart, Acting Principal of St Columba's, and all their staff for helping ensure the safety of the school Children," Bishop Anthony said.
"Thank you for supervising them well into the night. The Diocese will do everything that it can to assist the wider community in relief efforts."
Meanwhile counsellors from the Diocese of Paramatta's welfare agency, CatholicCare have been put on alert and are also available to help children, families and individuals cope with the roller coaster of emotions in the wake of losing their home and pretty well everything else they own.
Today, fire fighters from the ACT and other areas of NSW as well as crews from interstate have joined the battle to try to contain the fires.
Fanned by sweltering temperatures in the mid to high 30s and whipped by winds of more than 110 kph, the fires erupted across NSW yesterday afternoon.
With terrifying speed and ferocity the fires had burned through 100,000 hectares of land within the first 24 hours, destroying a still unknown number of homes, outbuildings, infrastructure and in some cases, livestock and beloved pets.
Despite the cool change in the evening, the southerly shift in the winds' direction triggered new fire fronts.
Today although winds and the temperatures have dropped, the NSW Rural Fire Services is warning that a return to high temperatures on Sunday and Monday will exacerbate the emergency with some fires not expected to be brought under control for some weeks.
"Everything is tinder dry. You stand on the grass and it crackles underfoot," one resident of Muswellbrook said this morning.
As fire continues to race across the Hunter Valley region where Newcastle Airport remains closed and Muswellbrook battles smoke and flames, Bishop Bill Wright of the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle extended his thoughts and prayers to the family of the man who died at Lake Munmorah and to all those who have lost their homes, property, pets or livestock.
"My heart goes out to individuals and families, particularly those in the Hunter region and Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle," he said and praised the dedication of fire fighters, many of whom are volunteers, who put their lives on the line to help protect the lives and homes of others," he said adding that he prays God will watch over them and give strength, courage and hope to all those who need it over the coming months.

Site #15
Designated June 8th, 1993
This site of this house was once owned by Mathias and Barbara Jungbluth and was known as the Jungbluth Homestead. The building was home to several early settlers of the New Berlin area. We don't have an exact date for when the house was built, but construction suggested the 1850's. The Greek Revival Farmhouse along with its summer kitchen once stood on the east side of Sunny Slope Road with the barn located on the west side of Sunny Slope Road. The barn was torn down when the farm was subdivided for development. At one time, the farmhouse was two separate houses and in two separate locations. Ludwig Frank joined the two sections in 1885. From the interior it was apparent where the two houses were joined since the floors were not level and did not line up evenly. The house was restored and Landmarked in 1993 but eventually sold for development. A marker was erected October 2003 where the house once stood.

Was coming home from a day of checking bee yards and saw this machine sitting beside the road. Even if unfixable the scrape money would have been a lot as it is heavy. So glad I had my ramps and block in tackle in the back of the truck.
Lots of missing parts on the engine but every thing else seemed fine. I held off doing any thing to it hoping to find engine parts that were missing with no luck. Finally decided on a new engine. A Harbor Freight 6.5hp hemi head Predator.
I cleared the deck of the old engine.
Did the easy shaft check to make sure they were the same.
Every thing on the deck lined up perfect including the holes for the engine hold down bolts, looks good mounted.
I did have to lower the chute crank rod to clear the OHV cover which is cart so is the hemi head model. the non Hemi model has a stamped steel valve cover.
Removed the chute so I could get into the Impeller and drill holes for the impeller kit.
Still waiting to do the kit and install the new tires I bought.

With the holiday season looming large on the immediate horizon, it's time to start factoring gift-giving into the end-of-year equation. As usual, I have more than a few books to let readers know about. I'll start with these:
• "55 Christmas Balls to Knit" by Arne and Carlos (that would be Arne Nerjordet and Carlos Zachrison, trafalgarbooks.com, 800-423-4525). The authors, who live in a rural town in Norway, are knitwear designers who got started knitting tree decorations when they received a commission for Christmas sweaters, hats and scarves from fashion design house Comme des Garcons located in Tokyo and Paris. The duo also included knitted Christmas balls they had knit. And rest, as they say, is history culminating in a book — authored by two men, which struck me as refreshing since most of the needlecraft books that end up on my desk are by women.
The designs for the Christmas balls are drawn from the traditional Scandinavian patterns knit in two colors — red and white, and black and white. Some of the motifs are embellished with crystal beads or sequins. The basic pattern consists of 41 rows knit on double-point needles, which works up quickly. Knitters will delight in charted tree, star, reindeer, heart, bird and 50 other patterns.
The book contains instructions for stuffing the balls, making hangers for them and offers ideas for knitting the balls with novelty yarns.
• "Knit Local: Celebrating America's Homegrown Yarns" by Tanis Gray, sixthandspringbooks.com. Maine is amply represented in the Northeast section of the book, including Quince and Co., established by Pam Allen, Carrie Bostick Hoge and Bob Rice in Portland last year; Swans Island Yarns, established by Bill Laurita in Northport in 2009; and Knit One, Crochet Two owned by Helene Rush of Windham. The author gives information about each company, and a pattern using that company's yarn is included.
Other Maine companies mentioned in the book as a source for locally grown or processed yarn are Acker's Acres Angoras in New Gloucester, Bartlett Yarn in Harmony, Hilltop Handspun in Lovell, Hope Spinnery in Hope and Meadowcraft Farm in Washington.
The other sections of the book — South, Midwest and West — are equally rich with yarn company information and patterns. I was pleased to see that Brown Sheep Company, located in Mitchell, Neb., was included in the Midwest section. I discovered that company's yarn in the 1990s when I lived for a time in Lincoln, Neb.
Patterns in the book include hats, mittens, socks, shawls, scarves and sweaters.
What "Knit Local" makes possible is plumping up one's stash with yarn from Maine to California, a move sure to benefit small businesses and local economies.
• "Martha Stewart's Handmade Holiday Crafts: 225 Inspired Projects for Year-Round Celebrations," ( crownpublishing.com or pottercraft.com) has so much in it that readers will be stunned by possibilities. I'd start with the love-knot bracelets and the embroidered valentines, and move on to the button-embellished cards, sea glass jewelry, batik-style table linens, jar-o'-lanterns, rickrack gift bags and winter wonderland snow globes.
This book has all we have come to expect from all things "Martha" — cleverness, elegance, a sense of humor, simplicity and beauty. It is the perfect reference for families who enjoy crafting together — casually or seriously — for organizations that sponsor craft fairs or for anyone who wants to put a personal touch into gift-giving and decorating for celebrations such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas. Or use the book as a source of ideas to create your own riff on the projects presented in the book.
Each craft project is illustrated with drawings and-or photos and includes easy-to-follow instructions, usually on one page, making the book user-friendly.
• "Knit Accessories," published by Soho Publishing Company, offers knitters 15 projects, including hats, scarves, shawls and bags. One of the neat things about this publication is that the table of contents features small photos of each project with the project name and page number listed below. The projects are rated from beginner to experienced making it easy to select the one that is right for one's level of knitting expertise. Experienced knitters will love the Lace Wrap shawl and beginners will enjoy making the Bamboo Scarf.
To learn more about these books, check with your local bookstore or look for them on the Internet.

The Community Resource Centre Board is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a $163,000 grant from Status of Women Canada for a two and a half year project, "Connecting Self-Employed Women for Success".
This grant follows the very successful Progress Plan initiative that examined the concerns and priorities of women on the Sunshine Coast.
"During community consultations for the Progress Plan, many women told us that self-employment was the only employment opportunity for them, but they were often overwhelmed by the isolation they experienced. Connecting Self-Employed Women for Success will result in a more fertile environment for self-employed women to successfully contribute to the Coast economy," said Pat Hunt, Co-Chair of the Resource Centre board.
To manage this project the Board has hired Cheryl McNicol, an experienced entrepreneur who has helped hundreds of people to start and grow businesses through her business training and coaching practice.
"Our goal is to create real long term change for self-employed women and business owners," said McNichol. "We want to make it easier for women to find and use existing programs and services to either start new businesses or expand their revenues. And we're looking for champions who will help us create systemic change that improves women's leadership roles in the Sunshine Coast economy."
A wide range of community partners are represented on the advisory committee that will guide this project, including representatives from the Sunshine Coast Credit Union, School District 46, the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society, Community Futures and the Open Door Group (Work BC). The project will wrap up in October 2017.
More information about this project is available at resourcecentre.ca or from Cheryl McNicol at firstname.lastname@example.com. Submitted

Re: Plate To The Circuit: Chitlin That Is!
In Response To: Re: Plate To The Circuit: Chitlin That Is! ()
I can't answer to when the tradition started but I can say that for as long this old memory of mine has been, we always had chiltlins on New Years. Texas, Okla and here in Ariz, all the folks I knew have done this. Can't tell you what the Chitlins were for ( perhaps good eating) but you had to have black-eyed peas for good luck through-out the year, Collards, Turnips or Mustard greens was for money. so that you would not go broke.

In contrast to the pyramids, the colossus was the shortest lived of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Completed in 282 B.C. after taking 12 years to build, the Colossus of Rhodes was felled by an earthquake that snapped the statue off at the knees a mere 56 years later.
The towering figure—made of stone and iron with an outer skin of bronze—represented the Greek sun god Helios, the island's patron god. It looked out from Mandráki Harbor on the Mediterranean island of Ródos (Rhodes), although it is no longer believed to have straddled the harbor entrance as often shown in illustrations.
The Colossus stood about 110 feet (33 meters) tall, making it the tallest known statue of the ancient world. It was erected to celebrate the unification of the island's three city-states, which successfully resisted a long siege by the Antigonids of Macedonia.

Today I want to share a fun craft/snack idea. This snack is healthy and the craft is quick and simple. I hope you enjoy it!
November Sweet Treats:
- Apple Turkeys: Use an apple as the body of the turkey. Cut a turkeys head, wings, and feathers out of construction paper. Tape them to toothpicks and then stick them into the apple.
(This recipe/craft was taken and adapted from Vicki Lansky's book Feed Me I'm Yours pg. 108)
- Homemade Caramel Apple Dip: A great treat to go with your Turkey Apples is homemade caramel apple dip.
First get your ingredients:
1) one package (8 oz.) of cream cheese
2) one cup of brown sugar
3) one teaspoon of vanilla.
Second, make sure the cream cheese is soft. You can grate it with a fork or microwave it for 30 seconds to soften it. Third, mix all ingredients until the consistency is a smooth caramel dip. Fourth, cut up some Granny Smith apples and enjoy your homemade caramel apple dip.

I wasn't around in Cleveland when LeBron played there. Most fans understand you can't fault a kid that wasn't here at that time. [..] Me and LeBron's relationship is pretty close — he's like a brother to me. But at the same time it's a business and we're going to Miami and trying to win a game. The whole friendship thing is out the window when we get on the court. Whatever [LeBron and I] have going on is between us. The main thing is playing basketball and that's what we're here to do.
– Cavaliers rookie power forward Tristan Thompson on his friendship with Miami Heat forward, and long-time Cleveland Cavalier, LeBron James. Thompson is coming off one of his best statistical efforts in this young season, with 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting while hitting 4-of-5 free throw attempts.

Vitamin Water decided to let Facebook users create a new flavor we had no idea that the final product would pay homage to Facebook in so many ways. The new flavor, announced today, is called "Connect" (as in Facebook Connect?) and even carries the Facebook logo on the bottle label.
Ultimately, Facebooker Sarah from Illinois was awarded the grand prize — a nice cash sum totaling $5,000 — for her role in designing the new Connect flavor.
You can expect to see the Facebook-branded variety of Vitamin Water, which is "a tasty black cherry-lime flavor made with caffeine and 8 key nutrients," on shelves come March of this year.
Here's the full message posted to Vitamin Water's Facebook Page: "Unlike the never-ending debate over whether it's rock-paper-scissors or paper-rock-scissors, based on your votes and your designs, the latest flavor of vitaminwater has FINALLY been decided… introducing the black cherry-lime flavored vitaminwater named… connect! check out this new package- flavor & ingredients, name & label design- all inspired by you- our fans. it's got 8 key nutrients plus caffeine. thanks for all your help- especially to the grand prize winner Sarah from Illinois and the four other finalist http://budurl.com/q27w. vitaminwater connect will be available in stores nationwide in march this year- so until then, stay hydrated- and keep your eyes here for news, updates and special offers for connect, including a possible sneak tasting opportunity. and btw… it's rochambeau!"

Des Moines, Iowa Newt Gingrich tried to quiet unrelenting campaign criticism that he acknowledged had taken a toll as Mitt Romney stepped up insider attacks Saturday in hopes of regaining front-runner status with the first presidential vote little more than two weeks away.
Gingrich, the former House speaker enjoying a late surge in the polls, pledged to correct what he said were his rivals' inaccurate claims about him. Romney, the ex-Massachusetts governor looking for a rebound, portrayed Gingrich as a well-heeled lobbyist since his service in Congress and predicted that conservative voters will reject Gingrich as they learn more about his lengthy Washington record.
"I'm going to let the lawyers decide what is and what is not lobbying, but when it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, typically it's a duck," Romney said.
With the Iowa caucuses Jan. 3 up for grabs, most candidates are redoubling their efforts heading into the holidays, when voters generally tune out the race.
Gingrich is their prime target. Last week alone, anti-Gingrich ads from a Romney ally outspent Gingrich by an 8-to-1 margin on television.
Gingrich cited "the extraordinary negativity of the campaign" during a call from Washington with Iowa supporters. He said he was inclined to hold teleconferences every few days so people can discuss ideas and his campaign can "encourage them to raise any of these things that you get in the mail that are junk and dishonest."
Romney campaigned in early-voting South Carolina, where tea party activists have given Gingrich a strong lead in polls. Romney told reporters that many voters now are just beginning to pay attention to the race and will turn on Gingrich after they learn about his time in Washington and his role with mortgage company Freddie Mac, a quasi-government agency.
Gingrich's consulting firm collected $1.6 million from the company. Gingrich insists he did not lobby for them and only provided advice.
"I think as tea partyers concentrate on that, for instance, they'll say, 'Wow, this really isn't the guy that would represent our views,'" Romney said after a town hall meeting with South Carolina Rep. Tim Scott. "Many tea party folks, I believe, are going to find me to be the ideal candidate."

An Angel Disguised Like Joe

I received a call recently that a local resident, a homeless man, had died. Many people didn't like this gentleman. He was mentally unstable, and could be threatening at times. Also, he was openly non-Christian. The man had no money, but needed a funeral. He was estranged from his family, and died far from his home.
Fortunately, a church offered to give him space in their cemetery and pay for his final expenses, despite the fact that he practiced a non-Christian faith.
To me, that's very comforting.
When I was a teenager, an elderly immigrant in our community passed away. Nobody really knew how to handle it. Here was a Hindu, living in the Bible Belt, with no surviving family members. And she needed a funeral. Finally, the most progressive church in the area volunteered to host the services, which would be non-religious in nature. The locals erupted into a flurry of gossip about how horrible it was that this "hell-bound heathen" was going to be eulogized in a Christian church. Some people sent letters of protest to the church.
Thankfully, the pastor ignored the mail, and conducted the funeral right on schedule.
Jesus Christ, who advocated practicing kindness toward strangers, and spent quality time with sinners, would doubtless have a word or two to say to these provincial "Christians" who couldn't give up a few square feet of their precious space to allow a tiny handful of people to grieve over someone's demise. Have things come to such a sorry state that we only extend civility to our own kind now? Has the Church become that much of a hateful, self-serving enclave? Remember, if Christians extend true kindness toward people of other faiths, then those people might be inclined to become Christians someday. If they're treated like garbage, it's a safe bet that they'll never set foot in a church again as long as they live.
Remember the old saying about entertaining angels unaware? That means that the angels are probably not appearing as angels; otherwise you'd be painfully aware of them. Instead, they're probably appearing as everything we have been culturally trained to fear. They are the homeless, the beggars, the mentally ill. How do we react to panhandlers, drug addicts, or that surly teenager who flashes obscene gestures as we drive past? Do you think that an angel would really look like a loveable toddler with eyes like a Precious Moments figurine? Well, perhaps. But loving something like that wouldn't be much of a challenge, would it? Try showing love, honor and human decency to a raging alcoholic. Now, that's a challenge. Try loving a death row inmate or a man wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe. Jesus Christ dealt with people who were actually demon-possessed. Would we be willing to go that far? He calls upon us to love everybody, not just the people who make us feel safe. He taught lessons of radical love. We have to go beyond our comfort zone. We have to go so far beyond it that our heart nearly dissolves with fear.
Which brings me back to Joe.
I'm writing these words out of guilt. Joe frightened me. I have actually crossed the street to get away from that man. Now that he's dead, I'd be lying if I acted as if he'd been my best friend. Honestly, I feel like a heel no matter what I say--whether I admit that I didn't like being around him, or if I suddenly started eulogizing him as if he'd been the President of the United States.
It's hard to know what to do with difficult people.
Could I have been nicer to Joe? Yes, indeed. Rather than avoiding him, I could have at least engaged in more conversation with him. How's it going, Joe? Have a cup of coffee, Joe. You're a child of the living God, full of dignity and grace, Joe.
Of course, there's nothing I can do now, except learn from these mistakes. I can take note of my shortcomings as a Christian. The next time God sends me an angel disguised like Joe, perhaps I can react in a more Christ-like fashion. It makes me wonder what other angels have come my way that I might have missed. The more that any given person makes me feel uncomfortable, the more likely it is that Christ expects me to extend my love. Sticking with my own kind might make me feel safer, but it's hardly a bold new step in Christian living.
So I can only pray that my awareness may be increased so that, in the future, I don't miss another opportunity to share the true warmth of Christian love.

Sorry if this question exists somewhere, but I searched already and found nothing.
Is there a reason the developers use the very latest build of DirectX? I'm thinking of casual games, where a few of the more recent games require DX9 but don't require the end user to install the very latest build, which for the casual market could potentially lose sales.
I absolutely love Construct and the way it's heading, but this is the only thing that's deterring me from using it to make a casual game.

The Largest Tree on Earth?
Sequoia National Park Travel Blog› entry 4 of 4 › view all entries
February 17th, 2007 – by: Eric
Fortunately, the drive up is incredibly scenic, so even the wait at the light wasn't frustrating. If it was LA people would have been honking their horns and swearing. In Sequoia, we just got out of our cars and admired the spectacular view from the hill.
After driving through the cool shade of the towering sequoias, we arrived at the General Sherman tree. We walked towards the crowd and saw a little sign describing the tree. Our first impressions of the tree were that it was big, but that it certainly wasn't THAT big. In fact, it looked like most of the other trees surrounding it, not even much larger. We snapped a few pictures then were about to take off when we realized that we were looking at the wrong tree! The sign we were looking at just said that "This is a good vantage point to see the General Sherman tree", but the tree the sign was next to was not in fact the Largest Tree on Earth.
Anyway, we found the right Giant Tree, flanked by even bigger signs. It was pretty impressive, and the trunk alone was twice as massive as the trees surrounding it. Apparently, a branch broke off the tree a few years ago, and the branch alone was bigger than most normal trees. We took a few more photos then headed down the winding road back to the cabin.

Boat trip to Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre, Italy
Boat trip to Cinque Terre Reviews
1 reviews
Apr 13, 2007
A nice way to see Cinque Terre, I went on this daily trip last year, and it was really nice, relaxing and fun.
The boat is leaving every morning during the summer season, and takes you to the 5 villages.
The company I used was this: http://www.navigazionegolfodeipoeti.it/htm/eng/index.php
But I am sure there must be others you can choose from.
Be sure to take a while to climb up in Monterosso following the promenade to see the beautiful beach in the last picture.
Have a good time!

HP wants to get back into tablets
by Nick Farrell on14 May 2012
- font size decrease font size increase font size
What could possibly go wrong?
The maker of expensive printer ink and a failed maker of keyboardless networks has decided that it wants to be back into tablets.
HP has announced that it will start selling tablets again but they will use Windows 8 rather than WebOS. HP ended sales of the TouchPad last year because of sales that tanked faster than the German Elephant and the company slashed the price of the tablet to less than £100 in a bid to clear out remaining stocks.
It would appear that the Windows 8 tablets will come with cloud-based services to allow users to store and share content across different tech toys. The tablets will be based on x86 processors. Some will use Intel chips but others will be based on AMD. So far there is now world about any ARM technology and running Windows RT.
Windows 8 will come in the fourth quarter of the year, just in time for the back-to-school period and the holidays. It will run Intel's Ivy Bridge.


text: Kevin Frandsen apparently has been sent to Fresno with Matt Downs back and starting at second base tonight. That still leaves a move to come for Ryan Sadowski. Rich Aurilia's name is not on the lineup sheet. I don't know what that means at the moment. The DL could be a possibility. He has been hobbling on a bum ankle. I'll post more when I know for sure. The lineup, by the way: Winn CF, Bowker RF, Sandoval 3B , Ishikawa 1B, Lewis LF, Renteria SS, Downs 2B, Whiteside C, Sadowski P. UPDATE: Aurilia just confirmed he is on the DL. He would not comment. I'm guessing he's not happy about this.
