If only I came across this about 4 years ago.
Actually, it's more efficient to just do better on the LSAT than stress about every last homework assignment in undergrad. Every last question on the LSAT matters a lot more for admissions than the "every decimal" for GPAs. The main problem with law school GPAs isn't really the slackers. It's the over-committed students who put extra-curriculars above academics because they don't want to disappoint the other people in their clubs, groups, sororities. So don't stress about everything, get a 3.7-4.0, and when there's a conflict between extras and academics, choose academics.

Small Space Living: Modern Home on a Nearly Impossible Lot in Tokyo
When it comes to space saving solutions, we can often take a lesson or two from Japan. The architect of this beautiful modern house took a tiny triangular lot — seemingly unable to fit anything except maybe a canoe — and created a contemporary home that looks significantly more spacious than it really is.
This Tokyo house is the work of design firm Mizuishi Architect Atelier. Housed on a lot of about 312 square feet, this three-cornered abode includes a deck, a loft play area, as well as a full bedroom, bath and office. It's the perfect example of the kind of creativity and innovation that small spaces often inspire. Perhaps more importantly, it is a reminder that beauty truly does come in all shapes and sizes -- some soaring and gigantic, some tiny and modest, some arched, some straight, and some, of course, that make a point.

Readers have asked me to write about Blogher, but I can't. I didn't have the BlogHer experience I wanted to have, and I can't pretend I did, and if I tried to relay my experience I don't think anyone would believe I was at the same conference as all those other amazing people who had such a great time. Because my experience had nothing to do with the conference, it had to do with me. There's something not right in here, and I don't know what the problem is.
What I know is that I'm filled with grief all the time, that I have tried the patience of my friends and family, that I have been less of a mother and wife than I want to be, that I'm terrified that I'm driving away the people I love, that I've barely eaten since I returned. I am sure anyone who saw me at BlogHer will be baffled by this post, because I do an excellent job of hiding in plain sight. But since then something has broken open, and I can't hide. Right now I wish more than anything I could take back the decision to go to this conference, take back the last few months, start over and give you whatever you're here looking for, the anecdote or joke or relief from your day that you probably expect, instead of this sopping mess who's struggling to compose these crappy paragraphs. Even writing this seems awful and self-indulgent, but if I can't be honest here and get this out I will never write here again. I'm barely hanging on, and I'm trying to make sense of what happened to me. Of what's still happening to me.
Please be patient with me as I try to get to the other side of this. I know I will, but getting there means wading through a stunning level of pain and I don't like it one bit.

Three Crimson Tide Players Earn All-America Honors
Alabama had three players selected to the 2012 AFCA FBS Coaches' All-America Team on Tuesday it was announced by the America Football Coaches Association on Wednesday.
The AFCA recognized senior offensive guard Chance Warmack, junior cornerback Dee Milliner and junior linebacker C.J. Mosley as first-team All-Americans.
Alabama has had 19 players secure 21 first-team All-Americans over the past five years. It is the first All-America honor for each player and gives Alabama 107 first-team All-Americans in its history.
Milliner, who hails from Millbrook, Ala., has been a stalwart in the back end of the Crimson Tide's top-ranked defense. He is a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, which goes to the nation's top defensive back, and the Bronko Naguraski Award that is awarded to the nation's top defensive player. He is fourth nationally in passes defended with 18 (16 PBU, 2 INT) and has 47 tackles with four tackles for loss.
Mosley, a native of Theodore, Ala., leads the team with 92 tackles and is a finalist for the Butkus Award, which goes to the country's best linebacker. He also has six tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, two pass breakups, one recovered fumble and a forced fumble. Mosley's three career interception returns for touchdowns also tie an Alabama record.
Warmack is from Atlanta,Ga., and has developed into one of the nation's top offensive linemen as a senior. He has started 38 games at the Capstone over the last three years. Warmack was a two-time SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week in 2012 and has missed only six assignments in 657 snaps (99.1 percent). He graded out at 90 percent or better in seven games and leads the team with 36 pancake blocks.

A decent house managed well is my definition of successful home ownership, but this won't happen reliably without something that rarely gets airtime in the home-improvement world.
Whether or not you complete home improvements yourself or hire a pro, success or failure depends on something other than hands-on skill. Some of the ugliest homes got that way as overly practical people combined considerable manual skill with a large dose of poor judgment. And at the other end of the spectrum you'll find naturally klutzy people who've orchestrated the most stunning renovations, beginning with little more than a mess with a roof on top.
So what's the difference? What's the make-or-break foundation of true home-improvement success?
Every human venture runs into problems and unpleasant surprises. Roadblocks happen and they're especially common whenever home improvements are involved. And the older your house is, the more fundamental and expensive your roadblocks are likely to be. Take a typical kitchen renovation job in an older home as an example.
Let's say you've planned to rip out old cabinets, take out old flooring, then install ceramic tiles before new cabinets go in. The cabinets come off the wall easily enough, but things slow down as you spend the morning hacking at the old linoleum. There are five layers over the old subfloor - many more than you expected - and the pine subfloor is soft in the place where a washing machine had a slow leak for years. With things worse than you expected, what do you do with your schedule and expectations? It's decisions you make at pivotal moments like these that determine whether you'll end up with a good house or a bad one.
The thing about home-improvement disasters is that they rarely look like disasters in their embryonic state. What appears to be a little rot and unevenness of a subfloor, for instance, is very likely to cause total failure of your ceramic tiles down the road if ignored. And it's not just about kitchens and floors and tiles, either. Every project involves unpredictable, unforeseeable developments, and making the right choice about how to deal with them depends entirely on resisting the common and powerful emotion of impatience.
Before you started your kitchen job, you had your heart set on getting some kind of working kitchen back within a week. That was a reasonable goal, except that it was based on incomplete information. Now that you know you really should replace the subfloor, do you give in to the easy way out, or adjust your expectations? My kitchen example is just one instance, but the issues and strategies are universal.
The route to success in any venture is rarely a straight line. It almost always involves backing and forthing as new information comes in and new realizations appear. Home-improvement success is often based on your ability to say "no" to the timeline of your initial game plan, in favour of doing things optimally.
Notice I didn't say "perfectly". There is no such thing as absolute perfection in this world and trying to achieve it will drive you and any hired tradespeople crazy. That said, things can approach functional perfection and this is worth shooting for. Competent, professional builders understand the need to bend and flex in the pursuit of functional perfection, though many homeowners don't. It's an art, not a science, and often comes down to nothing more than the ability to endure short-term disappointment in favour of better long-term results.
Show me a person's home and you've shown me how they deal with roadblocks throughout their entire life. The ability to flex and optimize with the right measure of wisdom and patience as reality intrudes on our plan is where quality really comes from.

gunter wrote:They concluded not that there was 'nothing to the phenomena' but rather that the objects sighted were not a threat to military security- except to the extent of public acknowledgment of the events in 'these parlous times.'
The Panel Members were in agreement with O/SI opinion that, although evidence of any direct threat from these sightings was wholly lacking, related dangers might well exist resulting from:
a. Misidentification of actual enemy artifacts by defense personnel.
b. Overloading of emergency reporting channels with "false" information ("noise to signal ratio" analogy -- Berkner).
c. Subjectivity of public to mass hysteria and greater vulnerability to possible enemy psychological warfare. Although not the concern of CIA, the first two of these problems may seriously affect the Air Defense intelligence system, and should be studied by experts, possibly under ADC. If U.F.O.'s become discredited in a reaction to the "flying saucer" scare, or if reporting channels are saturated with false and poorly documented reports, our capability of detecting hostile activity will be reduced. Dr. Page noted that more competent screening or filtering of reported sightings at or near the source is required, and that this can best be accomplished by an educational program.
It was interesting to note that none of the members of the Panel were loath to accept that this earth might be visited by extraterrestrial intelligent beings of some sort, some day. What they did not find was any evidence that related the objects sighted to space travelers. Mr. Fournet, in his presentation, showed how he had eliminated each of the known and probable causes of sightings leaving him "extra-terrestrial" as the only one remaining in many cases. Fournet's background as an aeronautical engineer and technical intelligence
officer (Project Officer, BLUEBOOK for 15 months) could not be slighted. However, the Panel could not accept any of the cases cited by him because they were raw, unevaluated reports. Terrestrial explanations of the sightings were suggested in some cases and in others the time of sighting was so short as to cause suspicion of visual impressions. It was noted by Dr. Goudsmit and others that extraterrestrial artifacts, if they did exist, are no cause for alarm; rather, they are in the realm of natural phenomena subject to scientific study, just as cosmic rays were at the time of their discovery 20 to 30 years ago. This was an attitude in which Dr. Robertson did not concur, as he felt that such artifacts would be of immediate and great concern not only to the U.S. but to all countries. (Nothing like a common threat to unite peoples! ) Dr. Page noted that present astronomical knowledge of the solar system makes the existence of intelligent beings (as we know the term) elsewhere than on the earth extremely unlikely, and the concentration of their attention by any controllable means confined to any one continent of the earth quite preposterous.

If the government was in conscious contact with aliens the program would be big. There would be way too many people working on it to keep a tight lid on everything. Something this huge would require tight cooperation from virtually every government on Earth. We can't even seal our borders. My two cents anyway.
jbondo wrote:Maybe there are just a handful of officials that know and meetings are small gatherings somewhere on a mountaintop. I understand your logic that Governments have trouble keeping anything small but could it be that the Aliens have asked to keep it as minimal as possible? Maybe the Aliens just beam into the Oval Office? I mean, who's going to stop an advanced race that can travel from distant stars from going anywhere they pleased? Or maybe they just pick up a couple of Generals and take them to meeting aboard their Mothership.
By the way, everything I say is hypothetical just in case someone didn't get that part of it. I have no idea if Aliens are here or if they exist at all.

In an effort to improve upon what he called failings in the state SAFE Act, and to reduce violent crimes in the communities, Assemblymen John D. Ceretto, R-I-C-Lewiston, joined several of his legislative colleagues Wednesday at a forum to discuss the very serious issues of mental health, school safety, gun violence and general public safety.
The event was held at the Mahoney State Office Building in Buffalo.
"As lawmakers, one of our top priorities must continue to be making New York state a safer place to live. To make our communities safer, we must address the issues of illegal gun crimes, the way the state cares for and diagnoses its mentally ill population, and the safety of our schools," Ceretto said. "Unfortunately, the SAFE Act failed to systemically address any of these issues and merely began a conversation that should have started years ago. Worse yet, this law takes away the rights of our law-abiding gun owners. In the haste to make headlines, the leaders of our state failed to make New York safer and foisted upon us a law that weakens our constitutional rights and erodes the foundation of our freedoms."
During the event, lawmakers heard testimony from experts in the fields of school psychology and mental health care, educators, law enforcement and Second Amendment advocates about the correlation of these factors and what comprehensive measures can be taken by the state to improve the safety of every citizen.
Representatives from the Erie County Mental Health Association, National Association of School Psychologists, Erie County Association of School Boards, SCOPE and Niagara Gun Range were among the organizations that presented testimony. Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard, Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs and Niagara County Deputy Clerk Wendy Roberson also testified. Written testimony was provided by Children's Mental Health Association and WNY Children's Psychiatric Center.
The collective goal of the members hosting the event was to include these experts in an open and productive conversation about the root causes of violence in society, particularly in schools, and to use the insights gained from the forum to assist the Assembly members in creating a more comprehensive legislative response to the SAFE Act.

GASTONIA � The owner of a video game store in Charlotte says a Gastonia woman has obtained a copy of a very rare video game from the 1980s.
The Gaston Gazette reports that Wilder Hamm of Save Point Video Games was surprised to see the Nintendo game "Stadium Events."
Hamm didn't get the name of the woman who came in for an appraisal. She said she had paid $8 for the game at a Goodwill store.
An online auction site offering the game identifies the seller as a North Carolina college student. There's been an offer of $12,000.
The game was issued in 1987 but because of licensing issues the games were ordered destroyed. But about 200 copies already had been sold. There are thought to be only about dozen left.

MAZAMA North Cascades Highway – state Highway 20 – remains open despite the federal government's partial shutdown.
The highway runs through North Cascades National Park and national forest land. Federally managed facilities, including parks and campgrounds, are closed, the state Department of Transportation said.
The North Cascades National Park Complex includes the park, Ross Lake National Recreation Area and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. Closed facilities include the visitor center in Newhalem, Wilderness Information Center in Marblemount and the park headquarters in Sedro Woolley.
Other closed areas include Ross Lake Resort and water taxi, Hozomeen Campground, North Cascades Environmental Learning Center, Golden West Visitor Center, and the lodge, restaurant and store in Stehekin.
All federal campgrounds, trails and roads are closed.
Park rangers are patrolling the area.
The National Park Service said visitors spend $26 million a year in communities around the park complex, where 120 employees are on furlough and about 40 concession employees are affected. The park service website also is down.

A swimming pool party is almost sure to draw a crowd. Whether you're planning a pool party for your child's birthday, or you just want to get the neighbors together for an evening of fun, there are some great swimming pool games that you might want to learn. Some swimming pool games can be purchased, but we've put together a list of some games for your swimming pool that you can create yourself.
Turn an Ordinary Pool Party Into a Fun Zone With These Clever Swimming Pool Games
Water Volleyball
If you have a beach ball or can get your hands on one, water volleyball is a fun and exciting game for the swimming pool. Depending on the age of the crowd at your pool party, you can use the length or the width of the pool as your "court." Stretch a net across the pool or just attach swimming noodles to one another to create a line across the pool where the net should be. This could be a fun game for adults and children to play together, as you can have the kids in the shallow end of the pool and the adults in the deep end. Kids vs adults is always a blast!
Marco Polo
A classic game for swimming pool parties is Marco Polo. The person who is "it" has to shut their eyes. They call out "Marco!" and every other person in the pool must reply with "Polo!" The "it" person must swim around and try to find everyone by listening to their responses. When they finally tag someone, that person becomes "it." And, if you're playing against that sneaky someone who likes to hide from you by standing next to the pool (and outside of the water), you can yell "fish out of water" and the person who is on dry land becomes "it." You don't have to use the phrase "Marco Polo" – personalize it any way that you want, such as "Cool Beans" or "Pool Party".
Watermelon Push
Did you know that watermelons float in the water? Buy two watermelons and set them in the water at one end of the pool. Line up your first 2 contestants, one behind each watermelon. The goal is for each contestant to get the watermelon from one end of the pool to the other without letting their feet touch the floor of the pool. If you want to be super sneaky, apply a lubricant to the watermelon to make it extra slippery and even harder to get to the other end of the pool. Whoever gets their watermelon to the end first, wins! If you have a lot of participants, you can make it a relay race with teams.
Freeze Tag
Playing Freeze Tag in the swimming pool is a little different than how it's played out on the lawn. When the "it" person tags someone and they become frozen, they have to tread water and cannot unfreeze until someone else is able to swim underneath their legs. If the "it" person is able to freeze all of the participants without anyone becoming unfrozen, the last person frozen becomes "it".
As you can see, there are a lot of swimming pool games that you can play when you're planning a pool party, either for adults or children. If you're looking for swimming pool games to purchase, there are also many options. Have a swimming race through weighed down rings. Toss weights into the pool and see who can dive down, pick up their weight, and get back to the surface first. Floating board games are also great fun. The possibilities are almost endless, so figure out what your crowd wants and get to work setting up the perfect game for your swimming pool party.
DISCLAIMER: Children should be supervised at all times. Never leave a child unattended.

Libel Tourism Law Official... Including Important Nod To Section 230 Safe Harbors
from the this-is-good dept
As you hopefully know, Section 230 safe harbors make sure that liability is properly applied. That is, it says you can't blame an online service provider for actions by its users. This is incredibly important if you believe that liability should be applied to the appropriate parties. However, very few other countries have such safe harbors, leading to regular lawsuits against service providers (often US service providers) for the actions of their users. Now, this law protects US service providers from such judgments.
Perhaps equally important as having this extension in the law is the discussion on the floor about including Section 230 safe harbors, because that's now a part of the Congressional record, where various elected officials make explicit the reasons why Section 230 protections make sense.
The purpose of this provision is to ensure that libel tourists do not attempt to chill speech by suing a third-party interactive computer service, rather than the actual author of the offending statement.This is important, especially at a time when some have been attempting to seriously cripple Section 230 safe harbors by pretending they serve some other purpose outside of the proper application of liability.
In such circumstances, the service provider would likely take down the allegedly offending material rather than face a lawsuit. Providing immunity removes this unhealthy incentive to take down material under improper pressure.

A 5-year-old girl who was abducted from a school by a woman claiming to be her mother was found by a passerby at a playground early Tuesday and told him, "I've been stolen," authorities said.
When found by a man walking down the street in Upper Darby, Pa., around 4:40 a.m., the girl was hiding under a piece of playground equipment in a park and wearing only a T-shirt, said Capt. John Darby, of the Philadelphia police department.
She was taken to the hospital to be checked out, but police said she did not appear to be hurt. Darby said officials are screening the girl to determine if she may have been sexually assaulted.
"There were no overt signs of physical injuries to the child," Darby said at a news conference, adding that police have had only preliminary interviews with the girl. "We have a fragile victim here."
The girl was taken Monday morning from the William C. Bryant School, in west Philadelphia. Authorities released surveillance video showing a woman wearing a full-length, black Muslim garment, her face covered by a black veil, taking the girl out of the school. School policies were apparently not followed, according to district officials, as the woman got the girl straight from her classroom after signing in at the front door – without reporting first to the main office.
Her mother had appeared on local media Monday night, tearfully pleading for her safe return, and explaining how she also wears the traditional chador and niqab.
A 27-year-old sanitation worker in Philadelphia says he was drawn to cries for help by an abducted girl before finding the freezing child huddled beneath a playground slide. Nelson Mandela Myers said at a Tuesday news conference that he wrapped the 5-year-old in his jacket and immediately called 911.
Myers said the girl told him she was cold and that someone had been chasing her. He said the girl was barefoot and wearing only a damp T-shirt in the predawn cold. Myers said his thoughts turned immediately to his own 5-year-old daughter.
Police are looking for the suspect and trying to track down more information. Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said it appears the girl was driven or walked to the playground. Investigators are trying to track down surveillance footage from the area.
"We believe that the little girl was dumped here," Chitwood said.
Fernando Gallard, a spokesman for the school district, said the district is investigating. The woman signed in at the door, but headed straight to the girl's classroom and did not stop at the office first, Gallard said.
"She said she was there to pick up her daughter," he said, adding that it appears the child went willingly. "She took the child and walked out of the school."
Under the school's policy, he said, the woman should have signed in at the door and then gone straight to the office – not the classroom. "The exchange does not happen at the classroom level," he said.
The district is investigating the incident and reviewing its policies with school employees, Gallard said.
In a different incident at the same school, three 10- and 11-year-old boys were charged in November 2011 after reportedly sexually assaulting another boy in the restroom.
The Associated Press is not naming her because it generally doesn't identify alleged victims of sexual assault.
Darby said the suspect went into the school Monday a short time after the girl's mother had dropped her off there. The woman signed in with a hall monitor and then went straight to the girl's classroom. "She indicated that she was the child's mother," Darby said. "And that she was going to take the child to breakfast."
The suspect apparently knew and targeted the girl, Darby said, but the girl did not know her. However, she appeared to go willingly.

For a good balance between firepower and felt recoil, a 3 inch Magnum load with 1 1/4 oz. BB Steel Shot delivers 90 Pellets at 1400 feet per second from the muzzle and that figures the rough equivalent of 2 boxes of .17 Mach II bullets all in one shot. Consumers must be at least 21 years of age to own one of these, any shotgun with a pistol grip has Federal Status as a hand gun for age requirement purposes. This is Mossberg's Cruiser Grip shotgun, the Persuader 12 gauge pistol grip variant of the tried-and-true Model 500 slide action with tang safety, easily employed by Left Handed Shooters. This listing is for the exact shotgun in the photos, but dealers are welcome to take any number of the same model, very similar condition, that we have on hand. The Persuaders are virtual duplicates of the proven Mossberg military 500 and 590 models. Factory specs are: double slide bar pump shotgun; 12 gauge 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells; 18 1/2 inch Cylinder Bore Barrel; blue finish metal with black polymer trigger group housing, and with matching high impact black corncob type polymer forend and pistol grip; weight 5 3/4 pounds empty; capacity 5 + 1 with 2 3/4 inch shells, or 4 + 1 with 3 inch magnums; overall length 28 3/4 inches. This specimen is what we call a factory demo, a showpiece for Mossberg's sales team that has been in Mossberg Corporate custody until we got it. Surface detractions are negligible to minimal on this shotgun, as its photos show. We rate it as Excellent, perhaps Near Mint, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Often a person can spot the letter U stamped on the left side of the receiver above the serial number. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. This 500 Cruiser has a relabeled Mossberg Factory Box with factory lock, instruction manual, NSSF and NRA flyers. We have even outfitted it with a matching trench type heat shield. If this shotgun was test fired, it was fewer than 20 times. We're offering the exact shotgun in the photos for only $ 259.00. Buyers must be at least 21 Years of Age; the Cruiser grip gives this shotgun Other Weapon status on the 4473 form. Local pickup by a civilian non dealer has to be a Tennessee Resident.

Kitchen Tour: Germaine's Renovated Sydney Kitchen
Germaine lives with her family in an 1800s-era home in Sydney, Australia. A few years ago she and her husband decided to renovate their plain, awkwardly-shaped kitchen and dining area, and open it up into a light-filled multi-purpose room for cooking, dining, relaxing, and play. We absolutely love the result! It's white, bright, and so inviting. Read on for more from Germaine on the process of renovation, and to see more photos of the kitchen as it is now.
Germaine and her family have lived in their home for about six years, and for the first two years the kitchen took up half the living space — leaving a narrow dining space and half the living space. "It felt like a very odd layout," says Germaine. "With kids the lack of floor/playing space was very obvious so we always knew we wanted to change it around. After living there for two years we realized the narrow dining space would make great galley kitchen and free up the other side of the room for family living."
The kitchen and family room face south, which of course in Australia means that this is the darkest side. The kitchen itself was also very plain, with 80s-style Formica cupboards and countertops. "There was nothing characterful or interesting!" says Germaine. She loved the idea of a white modern kitchen, with the high ceilings and details of their Victorian home.
She was also inspired by her own kitchen objects: "Much of what we have in the kitchen — our plates, serving dishes, cutlery — are old, collected on travels, handed down and given to me by my sister, mother, and grandmother and I really liked the idea of those sentimental pieces sitting in a modern setting."
So Germaine tore out pictures of kitchens she loved from magazines and other inspirational sources, and she realized that they were all white — with modern, no-handle cupboards and lighting underneath the cupboards. "It was a very simple way of clarifying what I really wanted the kitchen to look like. After living through a kitchen reno I realize it's not something I'd cope with doing every few years so knowing what you want before you start is definitely most important!"
It seems that Germaine certainly captured what she was looking for. This kitchen feels light, airy, and livable, and so cozy with the separate dining and lounge spaces flowing together with the kitchen. Great job, Germaine, and thank you so much for letting us peek inside!

10 Questions for Germaine (and Her Kitchen)
1. What inspires your kitchen and your cooking?
Given our current stage of life (three children aged seven, five and two), our kitchen is definitely inspired by family life. The cupboards and walls are decorated with their artwork and we've painted a blackboard wall; originally for shopping lists and messages but more and more it seems to be for spelling lists, doodles and hangman challenges.
As our kitchen is part of an open plan room which includes a lounge and dining area and opens to the deck and garden, my cooking is definitely inspired by simple recipes and fresh ingredients. Whether it's cooking for friends or family, everyone is in the kitchen so recipes that can be followed with a glass of wine while also chatting or while answering 2nd grade maths questions are important!
2. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
My red casserole pot is definitely the favourite. My husband and I bought it for each other for Christmas four years ago and we use it for soups, pasta sauces, casseroles, curries. I don't know how we lived without it.
A sentimental favourite is my father's Atomic coffee machine. When I was a teenager he would make us cappuccinos while watching a Friday night movie. After he died five years ago, my mother kindly let me have it. I think of him whenever I look at it and always have it on the stovetop.
3. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
There have been many special meals cooked here: Christmas lunch, long summer seafood lunches with friends, even a Thanksgiving dinner – thanks to an Australian husband with an American mother – but the most memorable would probably be a dinner with friends visiting from interstate.
We made a chicken pie and as it baked in the oven there was a total blackout in the street. Always unprepared for emergencies, we finally found one – small – candle to eat by; because we could at least eat thanks to the gas oven. As the blackout lasted three hours we were relieved to be cooking with gas! And despite not being able to really see what we ate, the pie was very tasty.
4. The biggest challenge in your kitchen:
Until a few months ago we didn't have the island bench so the biggest challenge was lack of bench space and always facing the wall while cooking. The island has solved those problems!
5. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
Our kitchen was renovated in a two-stage process so I feel we now have everything we want, although I do wish we had used subway tiles as the splashback. We live in an 1800s terrace and while the front of the house is original, the classic tile pattern in a modern kitchen would have been a nice way to marry the two eras.
6. Biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen:
The bay window and window seat, which created a dining nook, was our biggest indulgence. We found the old window in perfect condition at a restoration yard and loved its gentle curve. I doubt we'll ever tire of sitting on the window seat and looking out into the garden.
7. Is there anything you hope to add or improve in your kitchen?
We have done everything possible to this room: moving the kitchen from one side to the other, building in the storage shelves and cupboards, window and window seat. There isn't a wall left to touch!
8. How would you describe your cooking style?
Classic, simple and homely.
9. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
To keep cut herbs fresh, put the stalks in a glass of water, cover the herbs with a plastic bag and put them in the fridge. I used to place bought herbs in a glass of water on the benchtop and they always wilted within 24 hours. This way they stay fresh for about five days.
10. What are you cooking this week?
The hot Sydney summer is finally over and now we're enjoying cool but sunny autumn days. We've stopped using the BBQ and this week it's chicken soup, fish stew, beef n beer pie and roasted lamb racks.

Behind the Title: Why The Beehive?
If you've ever looked closely at the woodwork over the fireplace in Ellis Hall (better known as the Reading Room), you may have noticed there the seal of the Society, which also appears in the masthead of this blog, and on the title pages of various Society publications. The design features a beehive with several honeybees buzzing around it; an inscription above reads "Sic Vos Non Vobis" (which translates roughly to "you work, but not for yourselves").
Our seal dates from late 1833, when MHS President John Davis was charged by the members to "prepare a device for a seal for the Society." Davis obliged, presenting the design in its current form on 27 February 1834. The quote is from the Roman poet Virgil's response to another poet, Bathyllus, who had claimed credit for a pro-Caesar verse penned (and posted anonymously) by Virgil.
The entire rejoinder reads:
Hos ego versiculos feci, tulit alter honores; / Sic vos non vobis fertis aratra boves; / Sic vos non vobis mellificatis apes; / Sic vos non vobis vellera fertis oves; /Sic vos non vobis nidificatis aves.
That is, I wrote these lines; another has borne away the honor; / Thus do ye, oxen, for others bear the yoke; / Thus do ye, bees, for others make honey; / Thus do ye, sheep, wear fleece for others; / Thus do ye, birds, for others make nests.
As former MHS director Stewart Mitchell wrote in 1949, it would hardly have done to compare the members of the Society to oxen, sheep, or birds ... "but bees had always had a good reputation for the sweetness and light of their honey and their wax," and made a fitting symbol for the Society's mission. And according to MHS member Charles Deane's remarks at a March 1877 meeting of the Society, Virgil's line "has always been regarded as a favorite motto for quotation, to indicate devoted and disinterested labor, that is to say, for the good of others ...".
Judge Davis' seal has stood the tests of time, although the members briefly considered abandoning it in 1857 in favor of a new design. It was decided that "to discard [the seal] for a new one, merely because the latter is better suited to the present advanced state of art, would afford a precedent for continued changes, in order to keep pace with the progress of improvement. Such changes weaken the confirmative proof derived from a corporate seal and might even bring its identity or genuineness into question, to the detriment or hazard of corporate interests. There is, besides, a certain degree of respect, commonly entertained for the antiquity of a seal, which should be cherished by a Society like ours." The source of the motto was called into question in 1881, when member Henry Haynes presented a paper challenging Virgil's authorship of the poem. Haynes concluded "I fear that [our motto's] paternity, instead of being as respectable as has been imagined, is in fact rather dubious." Haynes' argument does not seem to have gained much traction, however, and the MHS (along with the rest of the world) continues to attribute the verse to Virgil.
There is some question, however, of Davis' inspiration for the seal's design. As early as 1791 MHS founder Jeremy Belknap had beehives on the brain: among his papers is a note pertaining to a seal: "For the Historical Society a Beehive - supported by two Beavers" with the motto "Nil magnum sine labore" ("nothing great is done without labor"). (It should be said that Belknap later mused about a seal which would feature "a flying eagle - a ranging wolf - and a shark - all seeking their prey.") Belknap never formally proposed either of his ideas, and it is not known whether Davis knew of them in the 1830s.
Several other precedents for the MHS device are known, as Mr. Deane noted way back in 1877. In John Dunton's literary periodical The Compleat Library (1692-94) a device on the title page (below left) includes a beehive and the bannered inscription "Sic nos non nobis mellificamus apes" (the line containing our motto, converted to first person). And on the frontispiece to the eighth volume of John Nichols' Literary Anecdotes (1814), another beehive (below right), this one with the exact inscription later used for the MHS seal.
Coincidence?? You be the judge.
Regardless of where it came from, there you have it: the story behind The Beehive. I think the image really does capture what we're all about here at the MHS. Just as the Society's members always have, those of us who work here today labor not for ourselves, but for others.

Some women think a dozen long-stemmed red ones are the ultimate devotion-proving gift from a suitor. Others are into diamonds and floor-length furs. Not Melissa Smith of Sandwich, Illinois. When her honey built up this red '80 GMC High Sierra for her, she knew he was hooked.
Mike Brown (the honey) of Plano, Illinois, restored the shortbed over three years. After having built more than a dozen trucks before, Mike decided to stick with the basics on this one and attempted to use all original parts. He works in parts sales for Coffman GMC, so the bits and pieces he needed to restore the tomato of love were literally at his fingertips. Through his company's database, he was able to track down parts at dealers across the nation.
Mike was a little worried at first because shortbeds are becoming more rare and a lot of the GM parts he had in mind for the truck had been discontinued. However, he claims he had no trouble finding anything he needed. He dreamed up the perfect ride for Melissa, punched the needed parts into the computer, and, abracadabra, there they were.
Clearly, Mike's a company man: An original GM V-8 resides underhood. The ignition is GM, the steering box is GM, the transmission is GM, the transfer case is GM, and even the dash gauges and seat upholstery are GM.
Mike had a little help from the aftermarket underneath the truck, where an 8-inch Skyjacker suspension lift gives a clear view of the 3/4-ton Dana 44 front and Corporate 14-bolt rear axle. The extra inches also provide room for the giant 39.5-inch TSL Super Swampers around Weld Super Single wheels. Even without any body trimming, Mike swears that those tires do not rub thanks to a 2-inch body lift.
Mike and Michelle take the truck out on dates with them on weekends, and it has earned them a growing batch of trophies in show-'n'-shine competitions around Illinois-maybe it's the mostly original parts, maybe it's the obvious time and effort Mike put into the truck, maybe it's the warm glow of love...nah, it's gotta be that Mike-painted, tomato-red color.

But Malkin, Kunitz, Kennedy, Sullivan, and Dupuis have all had 20 goal seasons. Orpik, Michalek, and Martin are veteran top 4 defensemen.
My point is basically that there are lots of teams that have far less talent than the Pens do even with these injuries that are above the Pens in the standings.
At a certain time you have to look for other reasons why the team is losing and you can't dwell on or hang your fate on injuries. You have to solve what "this" is and overcome it. Whether that's changing systems, bringing in new players via trade to compliment your snipers or a coaching change (this isn't going to happen I'm citing it as an example) you have to somehow correct this ailment on your own as a team.
I do not agree with this. Who above us has less talent than we do at this point? Flyers, NJ, Rangers, Ottawa, Boston, Caps, Toronto all have more skill than us at the top of their lineup. We have Malkin, Neal and a bunch of 3rd and 4th liners. Neal has a bad wheel, but to his credit he is right back at it. Kunitz is our best forward after them. We do not have a 2nd scoring line at all to take the pressure off of them.
I am not saying they cannot win with this lineup - ever, but they have so very little margin for error right now. There is almost zero skill in this lineup. The guys you say have scored in the NHL score by system - and that system is just not working right now. They are all struggling to score now at once.
Would you tell me you think Malkin and Neal are better than Alfreddson, Mihalek, Greening, Spezza and Foligno in terms of ability to change the game in a short stretch of games? If I were starting a team I would take Geno and Neal, but that would be under the assumption that I wouldn't just have them and a bunch of ham and eggers. Rangers - Richards, Gaborilk, Callahan, Dubuinsky. Stepan, Anisimov......Devils - Parise, Elias, Kovalchuk, Henrique.....
I think what we are lacking is skill at the top, and unfortunately we are built to generate offense off of Crosby, Staal and Letang at the back.

In a studio at the foot of the towering silos, UB architects are designing structures that explore new uses for textured steel
University at Buffalo architecture faculty members Nick Bruscia and Chris Romano commute to a studio in an awe-inspiring location: Silo City, where iconic grain elevators rise like giants on the banks of the Buffalo River.
In this classically Rust Belt workspace, the friends and colleagues have been designing - and fabricating - structures that explore new uses for textured steel.
Their latest project: A 20-foot-high trapezoidal wall woven together from 152 pieces of super-thin, textured steel. Each metal panel has been folded into one of 44 different shapes, and the geometric patchwork gives the sculpture a kaleidoscopic feel.
The wall, designed through computational modeling, was erected this August and September near Silo City's Ohio Street entrance. It's special in part because it's crafted from an ultra-thin, strong and lightweight stainless steel. The material was manufactured and fabricated by Western New York's Rigidized Metals Corp., which embosses metal with various geometric patterns to make it more durable and attractive.
"This type of steel is typically used in ornamental applications for interior or exterior cladding, and we've turned it into a self-supporting structure," said Romano, MArch, a research assistant professor in UB's department of architecture. "It's a research project: It faces Lake Erie, and we're going to see how the material performs in high winds and winter weather."
The wall, located next to Rigidized Metals' headquarters on Ohio Street, will be a permanent installation that functions as a gateway into Silo City.
It's a fitting landmark: A project that reinvents an industrial material, on a site that has become a symbol of Rust Belt innovation. The cluster of grain elevators has become a hotspot for creative thinking over the past few years, with entrepreneurs converting one of the silos into a rock climbing facility and hosting an art and cultural fair called "City of Night" inside the massive buildings. Last year, UB architecture and planning students built a stainless steel tower nearby to house a colony of rescued bees.
To work in the shadow of grain elevators - to walk or glance outside and see them sprawling skyward - is a remarkable experience, said Bruscia, MArch, MFA, a UB clinical assistant professor of architecture.
"It's interesting; it's fantastic - the time of my life, really," he said. "Being down here and working alongside all of these people is inspiring. And the grain elevators - there's so much history around them, and their scale is amazing."
He and Romano are proud to be a part of Buffalo's storied industrial identity. Rigidized Metals funded the wall's construction, and company owner Rick Smith has been keenly interested in the architects' work in exploring new uses for the firm's materials. The School of Architecture and Planning, meanwhile, has benefited from the company's ability to bend and fold metal in innovative ways.
"The collaboration with Rigidized Metals advances our material knowledge, and at the same time, their product," Romano said. "They are experts in the field of metals, and they taught us a ton about the material and how it behaves. We brought an energy and curiosity to their manufacturing process, finding opportunities and areas where we could try new things."
"It's been a lot of fun to work with these guys," said Chip Skop, director of sales and marketing at Rigidized Metals. "They've really injected a lot of energy into our business."
The partnership is one result of Department of Architecture Chair Omar Khan's efforts to cooperate with local manufacturers - outreach that has led to new courses and research on materials from metals to terra cotta.
The partnership began in 2012, when Bruscia and Romano taught graduate seminars asking students to think about the qualities and applications of textured steel.
Then, the professors and students designed metal window screens to outfit their studio on the second floor of a formerly abandoned Silo City office building. Each screen bears a pattern of holes or stamped designs that reflect and channel light in unique ways.
The Silo City gateway wall, titled Project 2XmT, is the first in a line of prototypes that Bruscia and Romano are hoping to create. The project recently received funding as a finalist in SKIN, a computational fabrication competition tied to the ACADIA 2013 Adaptive Architecture conference that UB's architecture department is co-chairing this fall. The team is currently developing a new prototype that will be exhibited at the conference. Both projects used computer-aided design to weave together complex, geometric components.
In addition to Bruscia and Romano, UB architecture students Dan Vrana and Phil Gusmano have been active in developing and constructing the sculptural walls.

U.S. Cities With the Fastest-Growing Incomes
The unemployment rate in the U.S. hit 4.2% in September 2017, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is the lowest it's been in a decade, since the start of the Great Recession. While a low unemployment rate is important, rising incomes matter more for American families. SmartAsset examined the most recent income data to find the U.S. cities with the fastest-growing incomes.

Portsmouth — Juggling, joking and creating balloon animals is just part of Mike Miclon's entertaining performance which he showcased at First Night on New Year's Eve.
Before doing a card trick at Seacoast Repertory Theater Monday night, Miclon said he bet the crowd was whispering to their friends saying, "My goodness! I wish I was that amazing!"
Since 1982, Miclon has been traveling the world and fascinating viewers at the White House and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., to countries as far away as India.
"I started this when I was 14 in high school," he said, adding that he was taught by an old vaudeville troop out of Buckfield, Maine, a town he still calls home.
Miclon's friends were unable to perform at First Night this year, after entertaining crowds last year, and offered Miclon's services to Pro Portsmouth, the organization that has put the event together since 1986.
"It is awesome. There are great crowds. I love these types of shows." he said. "First Night shows are usually really, really fun because they're good family audiences and I love that feel. It is really what my stuff is geared to."
Miclon performed two-hour long shows juggling cigar boxes and balls, sometimes under his leg and behind his back, and other times tricking the crowd by tossing just two balls in the air with one hand and pretending to throw the other ball in his other hand.
"The hardest part is juggling between my legs," he said. "The joke gets less funny the older I get."
The crowd was in hysterics.
"A lot of times parents will bring their kids thinking, 'Oh, this is for the kids,' and they'll have as much fun as them, which is what I am always shooting for,'" Miclon said.
Aside from juggling, Miclon also performs "really bad magic" and comedy, he said. He even spent some time on New Year's Eve amazing the crowd with balloon animal art, making a parrot on a swing and a puppy for a young girl in the audience.
His performances are very interactive, as he brings children up to the stage, joking that they will be standing in front of a 20,000-person audience. Miclon asked a young boy named Keegan to join him at one point during his performance in Portsmouth. Keegan played along, joking that he was 35 years old. When Miclon asked if he was married, Keegan laughed and shouted, "Uh ... What?"
"Listen, when you can make the parents laugh and the kids laugh, you know you are doing your job," Miclon said.

ILA Labor Negotiations
The International Longshoremen's Association and its employers at U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports are discussing an early, long-term extension of their coastwide contract that expires Sept. 30, 2018. The goal: an agreement that spares cargo interests an experience such as the one they endured during the epic 2012-13 bargaining between the ILA and United States Maritime Alliance. Those negotiations yielded a six-year contract, but only after nearly a year of rocky negotiations and repeated strike threats.

26 Jun 2015
The International Longshoremen's Association and its East and Gulf Coast employers are exploring a long-term contract extension. Here's a look back at the bargaining that led to their current six-year agreement.
Typically, once a U.S. longshore negotiation is settled, the affected ports revert to a state of normalcy despite whatever disruption occurred during the talks. U.S. West Coast negotiations over the past 20 years have never been without disruption but were always followed by near-normal operations that lasted in some cases for years. The six years leading up to the June 30, 2014, expiration of the recent agreement between waterfront employers and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union saw only sporadic disruption. But there is a difference between then and now: The current agreement reached on Feb. 20 failed to resolve all issues and one in particular — chassis maintenance — stands out as holding the potential for sparking further disruption and uncertainty for shippers.
