Hider Roser by Ben Mirov
The experience of reading Ben Mirov's new book of poetry,Hider Roser, is like what the experience of being alone inside of someone else's head might be like: it's a place where one encounters fragments of dreams, splintered selves, and half-thoughts, along with books, authors, memories, and other detritus that makes up a life.
...moreThe Body Place Is a Thinking Place
From these two new books, the reader can gather that it isn't just the day that is strong and can withstand change, but the same words can be applied to the speakers of these poems and to Myles herself.
...moreWe Rode Into Total Downpour
The poems run between lyric and narrative with many of them having a steam-of-conscious-like feel as the speaker makes leaps in ideas and imagery from line-to-line.
...moreMy Affairs Are Just My Questions
This is an intelligent and well-crafted poetry that demands multiple readings. And it is a voice–perhaps a bit apprehensive and damaged by experience–that seems willing to express it all, even the ugly and cruel.
...moreEverything Tastes Better When It's Precious
[An] unrequited love of language is demonstrated throughout The Hermit, as the speakers of the poems seem to continually give and love openly, but are often left hurting or alone—left to their prisons.
...moreAlbums of Our Lives: Boy Sets Fire's The Day the Sun Went Out
Recent studies reveal that the teenage brain is not fully developed; the nerve cells that connect the frontal lobes to the rest of the brain are sluggish, resulting in self-centeredness, poor decision-making and lack of insight.

For once the Nashville Scene is not absurdly nasty to the Kings (never thought I'd see the day).
The Features Opening for Kings of Leon at London's Hyde Park [Golden Nugget] "This week the Features play to 50,000 people in London" is the kind of subhead Middle Tennessee music lovers love to see — especially if it's emanating from thousands of miles away. It accompanied a story published on Sunday, June 27 by the Independent, three days before The Features did indeed do that whole playing to 50,000 people thing, when they opened for their biggest fans — Kings of Leon — at London's famed Hyde Park. Peep the video above to see for yourself. With the show reportedly the Kings' biggest headlining milestone to date, in their home away from home, it was more than just another in a long list of instances in which the band supported The Features by tapping them as their support act — which they've done many a time since 2005. To anyone in these parts, the Kings' gestures of love towards the Features — like signing the band to their Serpents & Snakes imprint, thus giving them that elusive second shot at some kind of long overdue success and salvation —Â is old news. But now we're about to see how it's gonna pan out for the hard-luck foursome. This isn't history repeating. Opening for a band on top of the world in 20,000-capacity sheds — which is how The Features will spend their next few weeks — is markedly different than opening for a band on the rise in 2,000-capacity theaters. In the 48 hours following the Hyde Park gig, music writers from the likes of Billboard, The Guardian UK, Spinner and a host of British music blogs spilled ink on The Features. Last February — upon the U.K. release of their latest, Some Kind of Salvation — the band sold out a string of London shows on the heels of a press campaign revolving around their relationship with the Kings of Leon. Features drummer Rollum Haas told Scene of the shows: We'd never had a sold out show there. … I've never really seen this kind of thing before, where we've had [the] full press push and everything. [Kings] are just in a position to do that over there now. I think it would be different if the label had been around for a really long time, but because we're the first [band] on it, it's giving us a lot of attention. But it's great. We'll kind of see where it goes from here. For Middle Tennessee's multitude of zealous Features fans, the international attention is an example of karmic justice. The rub is that every time the band's name shows up in print, it's no more than a sentence or two removed from a mention of their Kings in shining armor. At this point in time, that's a blessing. Even if standing in a bigger band's shadow finds them running the risk of blocking out too much of their own sun, any band that's ever pounded the pavement for any gig and fought to win over every fan knows that toiling in obscurity is a curse far worse than finding themselves on the coattails of the world's biggest rock band. When asked if he thinks there will come a time when his band will have to break away from the close association with their champions, Haas says: God, yes. … That's been a pretty big concern for me, because you have to ride their coattails to a point and that's exactly what we're doing, but there's definitely a point —Â I'm not sure when that is — I think we'll know, I hope we'll know when it happens (laughs), if it happens, [when] we're gonna have to be pretty smart about it. … If it picks up, as soon as we can do our own tours I wanna start doing [them], even if it [means] playing to 150-capacity rooms. … I think it's smarter to build up your own thing, rather than just try to be under someone's wing the whole time [but] we need that push and we need that help and you have to get it from somewhere now. … We're in a really good position. It's a position any Nashville rocker would ditch his or her serving job in a heartbeat to find themselves in. While most local musicians probably aren't going to hold their breaths waiting for the Followills to pluck them from obscurity, they know that if the band's successes finds them directing the captivated eyes of the world to The Features, it's all the more likely people will take a look and wonder if there's more where that came from. There is. While the short narrative in the press concerning The Features is going to be one of a band piggybacking on another's success for a little while to come, the longer story already emerging is of how they're Nashville's true flagship band. In a review of last week's Hyde Park show, a blogger from British news site Beehive City had this to say of The Features performance: The band (also hailing from Tennessee) are apparently friends of the headline act, and their lead singer, Matt Pelham, has an almost identical look to [Caleb] Followill, complete with sandpaper voice. The Features have had a funny old career which started in 1994, five years before the Kings, begging the question, who's following who in musical style … are they followers or is Followill? The Kings of Leon don't owe anything to Nashville. In an age of sudden-death artistic careers, the band has anomalously managed to achieve a slow and steady ascent to the top without Nashville's help, and people here hate them for it. Nevertheless, it can't be denied that their association with Music City — love/hate as it may be — has been dramatically instrumental in re-branding it a place outsiders associate with beards, leather jackets and barre chords, in addition to rhinestones and cowboy boots. A trickle-down effect on the local rock scene is inevitable. Basically, whether they like it or not, the Kings of Leon are gonna be giving something back to Nashville, even if we don't deserve it. Luckily, they have the sense — or maybe just the taste — to direct all the attention they can to the guys who do deserve it. In the Independent piece referenced above — which is essentially the Coke to the Pepsi of a story NME ran in February, telling the tale of the Features/KOL bromance over rounds of drinks and shuffleboard at Losers — Kings singer Caleb Followill says of their signing The Features to Serpents & Snakes: We have an opportunity to give people a chance … These guys have been around way longer than us, and they've made great songs, one after the other. His press quotes are getting harder to make fun of. http://www.nashvillescene.com/nashvi...-golden-nugget Last edited by em1885; 09-07-2010 at 04:04 PM. |

Another Interesting Hat!
For those of you who are fans of my family's interesting hats, here is another one. This is a photo of Gertrude Brady Blanchet. She was born in August, 1890, the daughter of James A. Brady and Mary McGrath. The family lived in Newark, NJ (1900), then Chicago, IL (1910), and finally settled in New York City (1930). Gertrude was married to Paul Blanchet.

More on Wise County commissioner's decision to tax gas wells as real property
The Coalfield Progress has
this article
on the commissioner of revenue's determination to tax natural gas wells as real property. The commissioner cited the Virginia Supreme Court's decision in Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp. v. Prince William County, 210 Va. 550, 172 S.E.2d 757 (1970), in which the Court held that underground gas mains were real property rather than personal property for tax purposes.

As of the year 2002, a copy of this record complete with original sleeve sells for $2,000–$5,000 US[citation needed]. The sleeve is not a picture sleeve. A copy with an original resume for "Ellen Amos" could go for as much as $7,000[citation needed]. It features a B-side track called "Walking With You". It was released on "MEA Records", which was Amos' initials.

I actually intended to share a different card with you for this sketch but it never got finished as it's been another crazy week in our house. Keep an eye out though as I really want to make the other card I had in mind so I'm sure you will see it show up here eventually.
I had also made this card which is a variation on a card I had made a year or so ago at a local craft store that is now close unfortunately. I switched out some of the colouring and what I used for the colouring as well as popping a few squares up with dimensional adhesive.
I am on a search to find the name of this stamp for you but it is one of my older non-CTMH wooden ones and the name of it has worn off so if any of you recognize it by all means please let me know the name in the comments. I will find it though as I am determined and will update the post when I do. :)
Now head on over to see the rest of the design teams creations this week and check to see if you made top 3 or not by clicking HERE.

Supermodel Turned Stylist: Kate Moss to Dress "X Factor" UK Contestants?
Posted Thursday January 3, 2013 11:53 AM GMT
He's always looking for new ways to boost ratings, and Simon Cowell is considering a special addition to his UK "X Factor" program.
According to an insider, the media mogul is in talks with Kate Moss to be the show's stylist and help rockstar hopefuls look their best.
"Kate could give the contestants advice and ideas on how they want to look and also how to look after themselves and still look great in the years ahead."
And it sounds like Cowell is pretty sold on the whole idea, so if Kate declines the gig he'll likely find another high-profile poser to sign on.

Newport Beach nabs Michelin chef from London
Most Michelin-starred chefs might cringe at the thought of cooking 75 tasting portions for ravenous guests during a half-hour food event. But for Chef Alfred Prasad, the challenge of feeding dozens at Taste of Newport this weekend is a welcome delight.
Back home in London, Prasad routinely participates in events as head chef of the critically acclaimed Tamarind – the flagship sister restaurant to Newport Beach's year-old Tamarind of London. But London-area health laws prevent him from handing out food to people during cooking demos.
"It's a pity," he said. "You get them salivating on all the aromas, and then they say, 'Sorry you can't taste.'"
Watch a video of the award-winning chef in action.
At Taste of Newport, Prasad's Indian dishes won't go to waste.
He is so excited about the event, he has opted to prepare three dishes instead of the required one.
"Why do one thing when I'd rather do three?" he said.
Prasad, a 10-time Michelin award-winning chef, is in Orange County for a few weeks as he takes over the kitchen of Tamarind of London. Prasad, 39, will split his time between Newport Beach and London as executive chef of both restaurants. The move was announced after the unexplained exit of Tamarind of London's Executive Chef Shachi Mehra and General Manager Maneesh Rawat.
Tamarind representatives won't discuss the reason for the culinary shuffle in Newport Beach. During a phone interview earlier this week, Prasad politely explained that he'll be fine tuning Tamarind's Newport Beach menu to better reflect the types of dishes that made the London flagship a world-class restaurant.
"Some of the dishes require tweaks," said Prasad, who grew up in central India. "I'm focusing more on the seasonality and making sure the seafood presence is stronger."
With Tamarind set to open a third London-area restaurant, Prasad has no time to dwell in the past. He's constantly perfecting his craft and scouting a new Southern California location for Tamarind. He's busy and that's the way he likes it.
Here's what he had to say about his world-wide traveling, food inspirations and his plans for the Newport Beach restaurant.
Q. Can you really oversee two restaurants in two countries? How will this work?
A. I'm going to be splitting my time between London and Newport Beach. It's hugely exciting to be involved here (in Newport Beach) on a day-to-day basis. I'll spend a couple of weeks here every other month to make sure the seasonal menus are up to scratch. It's important to establish a level of consistency. The real works begins now.
Q. Taste of Newport is a chance for restaurants to showcase favorite menu items. What are you planning to make for your cooking demo?
A. This will be a fantastic platform to showcase my skills. I'm really glad people get to taste all three dishes. I'm doing a mango salad with purple and rainbow carrots, toasted walnuts and coconut in a honey-pepper dressing (That's a new item on the Newport Beach menu as of three weeks ago). Stir fry calamari tossed in olive oil, turmeric, mixed peppers and crushed mixed peppercorns. Pan fried filet strips and potato fingers marinated with ginger, garlic, ground spices, and malt vinegar; finished with crushed peppercorns, julienne of red onion, and sliced tomato.
Q. Do you do food events like this in London?
A. Yes. You demo for half hour and take questions. But they don't allow you to taste (due to health codes), but I've cheated and invited people back stage to try.
Q. Being a multiple winner of a Michelin star, do you put pressure on yourself in the kitchen?
A. Certainly it is a positive kind of pressure. The first year (2002) I took over, we had a (Michelin) star from the previous year. It was pressure to maintain the star. I think certainly that first year, it was a huge challenge, and one I was confident I could live up to.
Q. Describe yourself in the kitchen.
A. I try to maintain a calm, collected presence in my kitchen.
Q. Now that you're taking over the Newport Beach restaurant, is it possible to lure Michelin inspectors to Orange County?
A. I'd love to.
Q. Who will hold down the fort in Newport Beach when you're in London?
A. My sous chef will be my head chef.
Q. How do you plan to change the Newport Beach menu?
A. Having been open almost 10 months, there is an element of tweaks based on the feedback. It's more adapting to what our customers expect. We'll add four or five dishes that are new – based on seasonality. We're stir frying the calamari as opposed to breaded calamari. I'm focusing more on the seasonality and making sure there's a stronger seafood presence. It would be a waste not to make use of the fantastic (selection) we have here.
Q. How do Orange County Tamarind diners differ from those in London?
A. I think in London, the UK has had a long love affair with Indian food going back 60 years. They have a mature palate. Here, there's been an amazing response. Many of them have eaten at our London restaurant. I think the local Indians and Persians are delighted to have an Indian restaurant where they can entertain their guests. I know that comes across as arrogant, but prior to opening here, we visited many (Indian restaurants). I was not impressed.
Q. What inspires you as chef?
A. Homegrown talent (I experience) on my visits to India each year. People who strive to make a small operation successful. (I know) a street hawker, for example, who has the same routine every day. He picks up his lamb at 5 a.m. and creates biryani (meat and rice dish) that is ready by 1 p.m. People flock there.
In a place like London and Newport Beach, ingredients can inspire you as can big name chefs. But I'm really touched by these lesser-known masters of their craft.
Q. What is your creative process for coming up with new dishes?
A. I think seasonality and fresh produce are always magic. And the places I visits in India.
Q. Is there a key ingredient you love to use on all your dishes?
A. Generally I love ginger, coriander/cilantro and black pepper – the king of spices.

viva italia
erica and i went to north beach today. you wouldn't have known it was fourth of july for all the italian flags up. it was also the italians in the world cup soccer match today, which we didn't realize before deciding to go to north beach, not being espn types. that place was crazy with mad, happy italians watching soccer and cheering. we ate at the checkered sidewalk restaurant (which i've always wanted to go to cuz it is so euro) and listened to the waves of cheers coming down the street from the bars. funny. i love how italian sounds.
we also saw wordplay. it's good. i recommend it. bill clinton is in it. i miss that guy.
snapped the above photo of the bruno's bar sign in the mission. the sign is so orange and brown and the letters are so fat. very satisfying.
went to the sean hayes/jolie holland show a couple days ago. jolie has such a riveting voice, but i have to say it feels like going home seeing sean. so good to see/listen to. he has a new site too.

A Well-known Rationing Game
Monopolies are frequently characterized by the following allocation rule: if the total demand is not greater than the supply, each buyer receives her desired amount in full; and if the total demand exceeds the supply, the supply is distributed proportionally according to the individual desired amounts. Examples include the fixed rate tender, employed in refinancing operations; transactions in supply chains; the allocation of issued stocks; and the distribution of financial support to competing projects. In such a 'rationing game' there is an incentive for the buyers to ask for more than they actually want and that the allocation rule may generate a game without an equilibrium (including in mixed strategies), even if the supply satisfies the true demand. We therefore conclude that this widely employed rule is an unsatisfactory method for allocating goods. Placing an upper bound on the bids will create a game with an equilibrium; however, buyers may still be induced to exaggerate their demands. An infinite repeated game can have an equilibrium even if the equilibrium set of the stage game is empty. Nonetheless, it is possible to fashion an alternative allocation rule which induces buyers to reveal their true demand.

shabby chandelier (the after)
Rewired, spit-shined, and as good as new.
See the before of the chandelier
Happily hanging in our bedroom.
Right at home.
Nicely done, DrewB!

shabby chandelier
A friend stumbled upon this fancy find at a garage sale recently and passed it along our way. We were sad to have missed out on that thrill of the hunt but we couldn't be happier to house the new addition.
It's full of great potential. Just needs some handyman help from the DrewB and she'll soon be shining bright.
Consider this the "before" and we'll fill you in as soon as we have the beauty hung in our bedroom.

A couple weekends ago we thought we were headed to the Ackley's for a casual Saturday hangout, but instead we were surprised by our friend-family with an adoption celebration!
We were definitely caught off guard (as we had just finished a long day of yard work and I was still recovering from a
slumber party
the previous night - good thing we didn't cancel:)). We just weren't expecting it at all. It was the perfect surprise!
did an amazing job of personalizing the party. It was extremely thoughtful.
Needless to say, we feel incredibly blessed by the support from our Erie-family in
this process
All our favorites - food & drinks.
You got us good!
Some of my amazing homegirls.
Even ended the night with a fire. Perfect.

slumber party 2011
UPDATE: see more party pictures
This past Friday was our:
"3rd Annual Girls Group Slumber Party"!
(See pictures from previous years
What's Girls Group, you may ask? Allow me to break it down. Girls Group, or GG, is a group of besties brought together through the bond of medical school (most of the homegirls are partners to a medical student). We meet weekly to support each other through thick and thin during the season of medical school. It's an honor to be a part of this beautiful group of girls. They are truly a blessing from Lord.
(Read more about the GG
This cosmic event is one for the history books. It's an all-nighter of fun full of dancing, and munching, and laughing, and plenty of girl-talk. We even created a mix-tape of music to serenade the night away. And of course, we made friendship bracelets.
Check these scenes from this year's party:

There are a number of steps in the process of becoming adoptive parents through foster care (i.e. interviews, meetings, a home inspection, background checks, doctor's visits, paperwork, and more paperwork).
Another hurdle in the process is the 10-week training class. So far we've completed 8 of 10 of the training sessions (I can't believe we only have 2 left)!
While the classes can be much of what seems to be common knowledge (in other words, a drag), they can also be really informative. I am very thankful for the discussions that the classes spark between Drew and I. And sometimes it's fun to feel like we're
too cool for school
and we're back in college taking a lame-o night class together. The classes have definitely given us much to think about and process through regarding this life-changing decision. Despite the lengthy 3-hour Thursday nights, we're happy to be doing them especially given that we have a lot to learn as first-time parents.
For those curious, here's some TMI or a timeline detailing where we've come in the process and where we're headed:
February 16
The beginning
, aka the "conception" date.
Drew and I "conceived" our decision to pursue adoption through the foster care system.
February 17
Contacted a caseworker to begin the process.
February 28
Met with our caseworker for the first time to
open our case.
March 3
Began week 1 of our 10-week training class.
March 10
Week 2 of our training class.
March 17
Week 3 of our training class.
March 24
Week 4 of our training class.
March 31
Week 5 of our training class.
April 4
Completed our application and met with our caseworker to discuss our application.
April 7
Week 6 of our training classes.
April 14
Week 7 of our training classes.
April 19
Submitted our individual autobiographies.
Sarah's individual interview with caseworker.
April 28
Week 8 of our training classes.
April 30
Super surprised and blessed with a celebration from
our supportive friend-family!
(See pictures below. We have an amazing family!)
And still to come:
May 5
Drew has his individual interview.
Week 9 of our training class.
May 12
Week 10 of our training class.
June 2011
Complete process and ready for placement.
Wait on the Lord.
It's crazy to me that this has all happened only over the last couple months. It seems fast. I'm still surprised daily that it is all really happening and that we're expecting. All in all, we are overwhelmed by the Lord's goodness throughout this process.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen
Ephesians 3:20-21
This melts my heart.
Brothers & Sisters, thank you for your continued
prayer and support! You truly bless our life!
Monday, May 2, 2011
It was a very blessed Easter with
our friends-family this year.

A to Z: Verjaardag: Birthdaying in Dutch
In Dutch, people don't have birthdays--they birthday. The closest translation for birthday is verjaardag--the day you celebrate the anniversary of your birth. As in it's your birthday.
But jarig, an adjective (in English it might be more of a verb) is used much more often. Instead of saying today is my birthday, people say Ik ben jarig vandaag, which translates as I'm birthdaying today. In Dutch, you wouldn't ask when's your birthday, but when are you birthdaying (waneer ben je jarig?)
In Holland, birthdaying is a unique thing that, for us poor non-Dutch souls, is totally worth experiencing.
Imagine this: you arrive at the jarig's house (bearing a gift--very important) and you find the living room furniture (or patio, if it's summer, or if you live in Curaçao) arranged into a circle. As people arrive, the circle fills up, and then coffee is served in tiny demi-tasse cups. A plate of cookies (homemade, of course) is passed around--please note it's very rude to take more than one. If you're lucky, the plate might be passed around once more, and then you're allowed to take one more cookie. Otherwise, be quiet and drink your coffee. Towards evening, perhaps your luck will hold and wine might be served, with cheese and crackers. And you'll always remain in the sacred jarig circle--it's unspeakably rude to stand up and wander. Sit.
The jarig person is responsible for everything: cookies, coffee, jarig cake (taart), drinks. Even in Curaçao, where all the rogue Dutch have emigrated, this tradition still holds. Jarig celebrations are more often held at a beach bar here, maybe a beach BBQ, or if at home, the sacred jarig circle is seldom seen. But the jarig person still pays for everything. At home it's not so conspicuous, but say the party's at a bar. The jarig person is the one getting drinks for everyone, or they may open a tab to which everyone's drinks are assigned to, and pay the bill at the end of the evening.
That's why the gift you bring is so important. It's something like your VIP pass to the all-inclusive party.
One more quirky jarig custom: The jarig person isn't the only one that gets the happy birthdays. Family and close friends are also congratulated.
Say you have a coworker who happens to mention it's their father's birthday. Your response? Gefeliciteerd (congratulations). Or gelukkige verjaardag. Or hartelijk gefeliciteerd. All with the hard G you practiced with the Gezellig post. Listen to some jarig congratulation phrases here.
At the jarig parties, jarig circle or not, family and close friends get a gefeliciteerd, too. Even if you don't know them. Even if you just met them. Wife? Gefeliciteerd. Boyfriend? Gefeliciteerd. Son or daughter? Gefeliciteerd.
You've now completed Crash Course in Dutch Manners 101. You're ready for your first jarig celebration in Holland (or Curaçao).
18 comments :
Thanks for sharing this bit of Dutch culture with us Guilie. It sounds like a real celebratory atmosphere with family members and close friends being congratulated as well. Great Job by you to give us a feel for how to handle a verjaardag.
ReplyDeleteRepliesGlad you enjoyed it, Gary, and thanks for stopping by. The funniest thing is that the Dutch don't seem to get how strange it is for us non-Dutch to get congratulated for someone else's birthday, haha. I've tried to explain it, but to them it's just a matter-of-fact thing. Just makes it funnier to me :)
Hm. This sounds very familiar to me...Have you ever read the blog Invading Holland? I think that you may be able to relate to something called the "Dutch Circle Party."
-Barb the French BeanLang zal hij leven! I remember our Flemish friends singing this to us during birthday parties we have over in Belgium.
ReplyDeleteThat's fascinating! I love that the rest of the family gets congratulated right along with the person birthdaying. :)
ReplyDeleteI like this celebration much more than a clown or magician at the party. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy home stretch of the A to Z.

LinkA team led by the Kenya Wildlife Service takes measurements of a tranquilized male lion's teeth while preparing to fit the creature with a GPS-tracking collar in Nairobi National Park in Kenya. Kenyan wildlife authorities are fitting livestock-raiding lions with collars that alert rangers by text message when the predators venture out of the national park, enabling the rangers to quickly move to the areas where the lions have encroached and return the animals to the park.

Extreme Events, Global Warming, and Insurance-Linked Securities: How to Trigger the "Tipping Point"
Large-scale disasters have occurred at an accelerated rhythm in the past 5 years. Further, the continuous increase of exposed values in high-risk areas and the potential impact of global warming on the intensity of weather-related events shall accelerate the number and increase the scale of mega-catastrophes in the near future. That is a new era for catastrophe risk management that calls for the development of new solutions, in complement to the traditional insurance and reinsurance. The authors discuss some of the main drivers of the radical shift that happened in the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market after the 2005 hurricane season in the Atlantic basin, which has rapidly become one of the world peak zones in terms of exposure. They explain why, despite this very encouraging evolution, the market has not expanded more (contrary to credit derivatives for instance). They propose three complementary ways to increase interest in these instruments that could effectively trigger the tipping point toward a much more significant volume of capital entering the ILS market: (1) increasing investors' interest through tranching, (2) addressing the basis risk challenge through index-based derivatives, and (3) innovating through the development of new products; the authors introduce the concept of derivative solutions based on equity volatility dispersion.

Smithsonian: Behind The Scenes
1906 San Fran Quake In Color ... And 3-D
The Smithsonian has recently rediscovered a rare perspective on San Francisco's legendary 1906 quake: 3-D, color stereo photographs. They are assuredly some of the earliest true color stereo photos in history, according to the Smithsonian, and possibly the first color photos of San Francisco.
Again this week, the West Coast has met the familiar face of natural disaster, in the fallout of Japan's earthquake and tsunami. But the 1906 quake still stands out as one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. Registering at a magnitude of 7.9, it was felt from Los Angeles up the coast to Oregon, and killed at least 700 people.
The images — which show the destruction in San Francisco six months after the quake — are credited to pioneering photographer Frederick Eugene Ives, who according to the Smithsonian, "rarely issued licenses for the use of his many patents, so today his name is not widely known." He patented the method and called the photos Kromograms. To get the 3-D effect, a viewer called a Kromscope is required — much like a viewer is required for all stereograms.

For those of you who don't follow various internetty things, Foursquare is a location-sharing social media service where you can compete with others to be declared "mayor" of various locations. In an effort to make this actually have a point, Foursquare has teamed up with Starbucks to offer discounts to the Mayors of individual Starbucks locations.
The deal is $1 off a Frappuccino, any size, any flavor.
Says Mashable:
Tristan Walker, who heads up business development at Foursquare (Foursquare), tells us that the Starbucks special is a one-time mayor deal that runs through June 28, but he's optimistic that Starbucks will continue to experiment with mayor rewards on an ongoing basis. "Starbucks is particularly innovative as it relates loyalty and social media," Walker noted, "so we continue to be super excited to explore this intersection with them."

Florida Divorce FAQs
Here are the answers to some common questions about divorce in Florida.
Do I need to prove my spouse is at fault?
No. In general, one party just needs to state that the marriage is "irretrievably broken." Fault may enter into the equation, though. For example, a judge may refuse to order alimony, or may reduce the amount, if the spouse who otherwise would receive the support is at fault in the divorce.
How long does a divorce take in Florida?
It depends on whether it is contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce means that both spouses agree on child support, custody, visitation, division of property and debts, and alimony, if any. An uncontested divorce can take as little as four to five weeks. If the matter is contested — that is, the court must decide any of these issues — it can take six months or longer. In counties where the courts are extremely busy, it can easily take a year or more. Most spouses don't take divorce issues to trial, though; they settle their disputes themselves or with the help of a mediator.
Learn about Dividing Marital Property in Florida.
What is the first step towards getting divorced in Florida?
File a document called a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. It outlines any claims that you have for things like child support, custody, alimony, and division of property and debts. In general, a process server must personally deliver the papers to the other spouse; this is called "service of process." If you have children, Florida requires you to attend a seminar on children and divorce, but spouses need not attend together.
Is there a residency requirement?
One spouse must be a Florida resident for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the petition for divorce. If you are temporarily living out of state, the judge will decide whether or not you are still a Florida resident. If the court determines that you have no intention of coming back, you probably will not be considered a Florida resident. If you are in the military, being stationed outside of Florida does not affect your residency.
If I cannot find my spouse, can I still get a divorce?
Yes, after you conduct a diligent good faith search as required by Florida law. There is a list of steps you must take, such as contacting the Department of Motor Vehicles and talking to family and friends who may know where your spouse is. You must also publish a notice in an appropriate newspaper for a certain period of time. The court cannot order any division of property or alimony until your spouse is found and served with the papers.
Learn more about Divorce in Florida.
Can one
lawyer represent both spouses, and does each spouse have to have a lawyer?
lawyer cannot represent both spouses — it's impossible to represent the
interests of two people who have conflicting goals. Even if you think your
goals are the same, lawyers are ethically prohibited from representing both
parties in a divorce. You're not required to hire a lawyer, though. If you can
agree about property division, support, and child custody and you feel
comfortable completing the court paperwork yourselves, you won't need lawyers
and the whole process will be cheaper, faster, and less contentious. A
contested divorce typically costs each spouse tens of thousands of dollars, so
it's well worth it to try to work out a compromise.
What if I cannot afford a lawyer?
If your income is very low, you may qualify for free representation from Legal Aid. And if your spouse earns substantially more than you do, the court might order your spouse to pay your attorney's fees at the end of the case. An attorney might — or might not — be willing to take your case even if you can't pay, if there's a good chance of getting the court to order your spouse to pay your fees.
Can mediation help?
Many, many cases are resolved through divorce mediation. It is a lot cheaper to have a mediator--a trained, neutral third party--help you and your spouse negotiate than it is to pay lawyers to argue and prepare for trial. Mediators cannot force a settlement on anyone, but they can show people what would be a reasonable settlement, and advise them as to what the court may do if there were a trial. Sometimes it is just good to have a neutral person, who both sides will listen to, help with the settlement negotiations.
Check out our section on Divorce Mediation to find out if it will work in your divorce case.
What if my spouse is violent or harasses me?
If you're in danger, call the police or a domestic violence hotline like 800-799-SAFE. Even before you file for divorce, you can get a restraining order from the court, without notifying your spouse. Consult the clerk of court or a lawyer. If the court issues a restraining order on this basis ("ex parte"), there will be a court hearing within a number of days where your spouse can argue against the order. Once the divorce process begins, the court can order your spouse to leave the house (especially if you have children) and stay away from you. Domestic violence cases have priority in the court system and are heard quickly.
Learn more about Domestic Violence.
What if I
need temporary alimony or child support before the final hearing in my case?
can go to court after you have filed your petition and ask for an order of
temporary child support, alimony, visitation rights, or custody.
Can I use my former name after the divorce?
Yes; in the petition for divorce, request that your former name be restored. You can learn more about how it works here.

Heidi's Kitschen Feast: Knox 'Sneak Snack'
Getcha Kitschy Ya-Ya Here
Well, now that you mention it – after trailing this skinny dame for blocks, I suppose I could stand to lose a few fucking pounds. Thanks.
Paging through one of my retro books a few weeks back, this dandy fell in my lap. Maybe it was a sign. I did enjoy one [way] too many brews on the deck with my gent this summer. It was worth a look, right?
Was it ever. The good people at Knox Gelatine had a plan. And it went a little something like this: Drink a "sneak snack" 3 times daily!
Cold: Empty 1 envelope of Knox Gelatine in 1/2 cup of orange juice, other fruit or vegetable juices or water, not iced. Stir briskly. Drink quickly. [...because your intestine does not double as a jello mold]
Hot: Sprinkle 1 envelope of Knox Gelatine on 1/4 cup cold water to soften. Add 1 bouillon cube and 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir until gelatine and bouilon cube are thoroughtly dissolved. 3/4 cup of any very hot broth or coffee may be used in place of bouillon. [...take that, starbucks]
The "Protein Booster": Use instant nonfat milk and mix 1 envelope Knox Gelatine with 1/3 cup milk powder. Fill with cold water. Stir briskly until milk is dissolved. Drink quickly. [Remember those cement mixer shots in college? Akin to the "Protein Booster," no doubt]
Oh, and one more thing. If you really want to lose weight, per Knox, you're going to have to exercize.
Don't fret. Knox's personal trainer has illustrated all the right moves to make your abs, thighs, arms, legs and back feel the burn and tighen up what the gelatine might have missed.
I prefer to watch my wiggle, thankyouverymuch.
