Championship Maple FFXM Snare
No other Snare drum has changed the face of marching competition like the FFX Championship Series. Used by today's top DCI corps, these drums have won more than their share of High Percussion Awards. The combination of 6 plies of 100% Maple free-floating in a super lightweight aircraft aluminum frame creates a force to be reckoned with.
|Totally Free floating lugs, mounting bracket, and strainer
|100% Maple shell
|Aluminum alloy edge ring and rims
|6 acoustically located air vents
|FFXM1311 at 13.5 pounds and FFXM1412 at 14.5 pounds
The Championship Maple Snare shell's natural balance of mid to high frequencies brings the FFX the voice that set the industry standard and changed the face of corps competition. Pearl's Superior Shell Technology is used to make a 6-ply, free floating shell out of maple, the drum industry's premium for dynamic range, sensitivity, and unsurpassed projection. Because of the maple shell's strength and reliability, your corps or band can compete in all climate conditions.
The FFX Aluminum Frame supports an aluminum alloy edge ring, providing you with a top bearing edge that can take all of the pressure necessary for today's high tension heads. 2-ply reinforcement rings and a 45 degree bottom bearing edge provide shell stability and shape integrity while focusing the drum's maximum sensitivity and volume.
Pearl's Superior Shell Technology utilizes a proprietary technique for achieving the ultimate air chamber. It begins with select woods chosen for their unique acoustic attributes, milled to precise thickness with overlapping scarf joint seams, for a perfect air-tight fit. The wood plies are saturated with Pearl's proprietary "AcoustiGlue" that permeates every pore and dries to the exact consistency of the wood for optimum resonance. Finally, the plies are formed in high-temperature molds with 1000 PSI of hydraulic pressure to produce perfect drum shells that exhibit superior tone, optimal resonance and extreme strength.
The Championship Maple Series FFX Snare is available in three sizes to meet your needs:

CX AIRFRAME Snare Carrier CXS-1

Turn One
We move around a bit and get a few shots off, but the only deaths are a couple of gun drones.
Turn Two
My brother's Tau make their reserves roll and a unit of crisis suits tries to deep strike in behind my falcon. Scatter dice say: 12" toward my falcon, which ends up landing him right on top of the vehicle: a mishap. His roll? One, so the unit dies. Then he explains to me that he only has one unit left on the board that can kill a tank because he has set up his other crisis suits to be anti-infantry.
At that point, he conceded and I'm not really upset that he did. Playing video games with cheat codes never really appealed to me, so playing out a game of 40K that I can't lose is equally unappealing. These were our lists (his list is more than a little vague):
Farseer (Jetbike, Fortune, Singing Spear) 118
Farseer (Eldritch Storm, Spirit Stones, Fortune) 125
10x Dire Avengers (wave serpent, twin-linked shuriken cannons, spirit stones) 120
6x Dire Avengers 72
5x Fire Dragons 80
Heavy Support
Falcon (shuriken cannon, holo-fields) 155
2x Fire Prism 230
6x Fire Warriors
6x Fire Warriors
6x Fire Warriors
6x Fire Warriors
Crisis Suit
2x Crisis Suits
Stealth Team
I really don't know what all of his upgrades are. I know that he has gun drones in just about every unit, though, and that he claimed that his list was anti-infantry. Admittedly, my list is pretty tank-heavy, so I understand why he wanted to quit. He might have had the upper hand if we hadn't been playing annihilation.
Because he's less likely to purchase more stuff anytime soon (or change his wargear), I'm working on a revised list of my own that he won't be completely screwed against but that I can still (hopefully) win with. We'll see how it all works out.

Here I am after the jewels, pretend make-up, and tiara were put on...too bad you can't see the lovely disco ball earrings.
Then she tells me to lay down with my feet on a towel so lotion won't get all over my bedding, and she rubs my feet. I usually don't like my feet touched but she does a great job! Seriously. I am totally relaxed by the time she is done. Today she said just before she started, "Mom, this is going to help your fat feet!" I am sure you are thinking ... such a nice thing to say ... but she meant every word of it. She wanted to help.
Here she is starting to rub the lotion.
She is such a nice gat to rub these bricks!
The funny thing is that after she is done rubbing my feet she wants to put shoes on me to complete the loveliness! Well since I only have maybe 3 pair of shoes that fit me right now...it cracks us both up when she tries to squeeze my feet into the pointy high heel shoes everytime. This time she was determined to get my feet into something better than crocs or slippers...she somehow managed to push them into sandals...but notice how far they actually got in, notice the line where my toes usually are. We laughed so hard.
This is when she was trying to push my feet into my fancy shoes! Notice the pointed toe!
Check out the normal toe line on these sandals...she was determined to get them on...but they could only stay of for a few minutes! They were hurting my feet.
Don't ask me where this pampering idea came from but I will say that I enjoy it. She usually has something for me to do while she rubs my feet, like read, or play a game on my pocket PC, but whatever I do...I cannot close my eyes because once she let me do that and I fell asleep...she didn't like that much.
Here I am enjoying being pampered!

I'm trying to move a database from a Windows2003Server with mysql 5.0.27-community-nt to a new server with CenTOS. When using mysqldump on the database on the windows server, one table (i haven't started checking how widespread the problem is) is being dumped with quite some deleted records in it. After restoring the dump on the new server, I can easily spot records that exist on the new server but not on the old one. However, when I do a select count(*) both tables show the same record. The dump is created with --opt, and I also tried dropping the new server's table before a restore. Reading through the dump (I did a table exclusive dump) I can spot the inserts for the records that exist in one database but not the other one. I also tried doing a flush tables before dumping the table, and tried using SQLyog's export to SQL function, all with the same result.
What can be going on?

The golden days of air travel: How glorious were they?
By Katia Hetter, CNN • Updated 26th May 2012
The crowds cheered as the pilots and flight attendants of Delta Flight 295 cut a ceremonial red ribbon before the television cameras.
Water cannons sprayed the first official flight out of
Atlanta's new international terminal
this month as the airplane headed toward the runway, bound for Tokyo, leaving behind airport guests to eat from an elegant buffet of Asian-themed hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
For a brief moment, the glory days of airline travel had returned to the world's busiest airport. On this day at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the pilots were handsome, the flight attendants lovely and handsome (and no doubt could save a life) and the food and drink plentiful.
High fashion: The man with 1,000 stewardess uniforms
It was reminiscent of the golden days of air travel portrayed in the television series "Mad Men" and "Pan Am," when travel was an upper-middle-class experience and people dressed up to fly. Even when air travel became affordable to the masses after Congress passed the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, flight attendants still served full meals and baggage was included in the cost of a ticket.
No more. Even amid the celebratory atmosphere in Atlanta, it was clear that the impact of the September 11, 2001, attacks and the subsequent economic downturn are here to stay. Officers patrolled the halls with drug-sniffing dogs and armed police guarded the exits to the runway. Many travelers wore sweats and other loose, comfortable clothing to get through security.
While many grumble for the "good old days" of airline travel, their nostalgia usually doesn't include the high prices, limited routes and cigarette smoke clinging to the air.
On May 1, 1927, air passengers from London to Paris tasted the first airline meal. CNN's Jim Boulden looks back.
Travelers can still pay for the luxury of rubber chicken and checking two giant suitcases "for free" -- it's called first class. There's certainly no policy stopping travelers from dressing up, but how fun are Spanx and heels on your next flight?
Designer uniforms: Service with style
Here are some of the things we miss and why they went away.
Pomp and circumstance
Eva Brams remembers flying with Burt Lancaster in first class, eating caviar on the plane and dining on lobster in a gorgeous hotel in Puerto Rico before returning home.
That's because the Austrian-born Brams was a flight attendant for Pan American World Airlines when flying was a glamorous experience. Brams, a former ballet dancer who spoke English, French and German, wanted to travel and see the world before deciding if her American-born boyfriend was "the one." (She knew she'd have to leave the airline if she married him. That was company policy.)
"We met interesting people on the plane, and we always stayed in the most luxurious hotels when we weren't in New York," said Brams, who left the airline in 1971 when she married that boyfriend. (They live in Manhattan and have two grown children and grandchildren.) "We didn't have as many flights as they do now. When we went to Brazil, we stayed for a couple days before flying out again."
An airplane trip used to be an expensive and rare occasion, usually reserved for the upper-middle and upper classes, marked by dressing up and elegant service in flight. Aviation expert
Janet Bednarek
remembers her father flying for work two or three times per year in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and it always seemed like a special occasion. When he returned, the whole family would drive to the airport to meet him at the gate.
All that elegance came at a price. Before the airline industry was deregulated, a U.S. government agency controlled pricing, routes and other aspects of airline travel. Once airlines could increase and change their routes, they started to compete more on price and discount airlines started to pop up.
High prices made travel exclusive. Bednarek, now an aviation history professor at the University of Dayton, didn't take her first flight until she was in college in the late 1970s. In 1960, U.S. airlines carried 62 million passengers on scheduled airline flights, according to a
government data analysis
by Airlines for America, an industry group. Fifty years later, U.S. airlines carried 720 million passengers. Now Bednarek is hard pressed to find a student in one of her classes who hasn't always flown.
Greeting family at the gate
In a pre-9/11 world, families and friends regularly walked their loved ones to the gate to say goodbye or picked them up at the gate to say hello. The test of a new relationship was often the airport drop-off: Would your sweetheart pick you up at the gate, baggage claim or curbside?
No longer. It's baggage claim or curbside for your love. In a post-9/11 world, airport security officials usually won't let anyone clear security without a boarding pass. With would-be terrorists inventing new ways to try to blow up planes, that's not likely to change.
However, it's not a complete ban. Travelers who need help, perhaps because of disability or small children, can sometimes still have a nonflying companion come to the gate with them. It's best to call the airline in advance to request that permission, although some airlines can issue special passes at the ticket counter.
Care-free packing
Travelers of a certain age can remember lugging overstuffed suitcases to the airport and talking airline workers into allowing suitcases over the weight limit onto the plane. Now most carriers are charging for baggage, and
they made $3.4 billion last year on those fees
, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. (Delta Air Lines topped the list at nearly $864 million.) Some, like Delta, will waive the fee if you have their frequent-flier credit card.
That has taught some travelers to pack light and wrestle for overhead bin space. If there isn't enough space, flight attendants will often gate-check your luggage. There are plenty of travelers like library assistant Courtney Pricer, 25, who simply pay the fee.
"I try to carry on the least possible amount of material because I find it to be a bigger hassle to go through security with it all than to just pay the money for a checked bag," says Pricer, a resident of San Clemente, California. "I try to just have a purse to take on the plane, albeit a really big purse. It usually just has my laptop or iPad, my wallet, my phone, the charger for my devices, and some snacks."
Food and comfort
Kathy Tucker, who often flew from San Francisco to visit family in Hawaii in the 1970s, remembers a 1975 Pan Am flight where the stewardesses set up a coach-section buffet table with fresh Hawaiian fruits and walked through the aisles pouring free glasses of champagne.
"The cute young man sitting next to me decided we could finish of a bottle all by ourselves, so we went up to the table and slyly managed to swipe an opened bottle and bring it back to our seats," said Tucker, a resident of Pacific Grove, California. "The stewardesses were so nice that they probably wouldn't have cared anyway."
Even after deregulation, when the champagne flowed less frequently, travelers used to be able to count on a decent meal (or snacks for shorter flights). Vegetarians and people who kept kosher could even request special meals. But as airlines cut costs, meals shrank down to snacks and then went away. Some flights still offer peanuts or pretzels in addition to food for sale. Other times there's nothing to eat at all. Even first-class passengers on shorter flights might only get a choice of fruit, chips or a cookie. (The alcohol is still free.) While some planes still carry blankets and pillows for passengers, there are fewer to go around.
"I try to pack as much food as I can but you can't bring water and sometimes I don't have time to pack," said Mira Patel, 22, a Baltimore-based first-year medical student who traveled a lot for medical school interviews. "I feel like I'm always hungry. With flights an hour apart, I can pay $7 for a can of Pringles or nuts that they used to give out for free. I'll go nine hours without eating."
Predictable security
In the pre-9/11 security days, people knew what to pack in their checked luggage and carry-on baggage (nearly anything, it seemed).
The evolution of airline passenger screening
Travel experts say people can adapt to tighter security requirements if the rules are clear and consistent. It's when officials enforce different requirements at different airports that travelers don't believe the new procedures contribute to more secure flights. Some security officials want you to carry your boarding pass through security; others want you to place it in the bin to be screened. Some don't like you to bring
gun-shaped purses
; others are OK with it.
"If people are anxious, it's harder to detect if they're anxious because they're up to no good or anxious because of all the attention you are paying to them," New York University professor
Harvey Molotch
said. "It makes the system less secure."
The lack of predictability is maddening to
Michael Flaherty
, an Eckerd College sociology professor who studies the passage of time.
"The fact that we don't know what to expect when we fly is irritating because it undermines our efforts to anticipate our experiences in the future and know how to behave," Flaherty said.
Travelers don't dare question security officials unless they're willing to risk not flying that day.
"It's threat rhetoric reminiscent of Orwell, all based on external threats," Flaherty said. "We have your interests at heart, this is what we have to ask you to do, and we're not going to explain it. If you don't cooperate, you become part of the problem."
For her part, the future Dr. Patel doesn't care to travel anymore. "I used to love traveling but I hate it," she said. "It's totally exhausting, and I feel like I'm paying so much money for so little. It feels like you're being herded through the airport like animals. I worry about what's in my bag. I feel like I'm always hungry. I would much rather drive."

Company email (July 2019)
"...I am afraid [the American Pale Ale] is not suitable for Vegans – isinglass is used in the brewery."
Company email (December 2017)
"We use fish based finings as per the industry standard, so I wouldn't want to say that our beers are vegan friendly unfortunately.
"There are some breweries that use artificial finings to do this, but we want to keep our process as natural and traditional as possible!"
Company email (November 2016):
"I can confirm that our Vegan Friendly beers are -
Duchy Old Ruby Organic Bottle
Duchy IPA Organic Bottle
Duchy Golden Ale Organic Bottle
Brakspear Oxford Gold Organic Bottle
Wychwood Scarecrow Organic Bottle
As you can see for the avoidance of doubt, only our organic beers are vegan friendly and are brewed/packaged within the Marston's Group. The Duchy beers are only available in Waitrose and the remaining 2 are produced primarily for export. Please also note, Brakspear Oxford Gold Bottle does come in a non-organic version which is not vegan friendly."
Company email (November 2016) re: Jennings
"All of our products use Isinglass as a finings agent which makes them unsuitable for vegan consumption. Our bottled and keg beers also use isinglass as a processing aid at the respective packaging locations."
Company email (November 2016) re: Wainwright
"Unfortunately we do use isinglass in the filtration of Wainwright so it is not suitable for vegans, and it is only produced and bottled by us here I'm afraid."
Company email (Match 2015)
"The Duchy brands and M&S Staffordshire IPA bottled ales are suitable for vegetarians. All of our other brands use isinglass finings during the processing."
Company email, October 2011:
"Yes we use isinglass during processing for all our products unless they are specifically designated like Scarecrow and the Duchy products in bottle"
Company email regarding Ringwood, October 2011:
"Sadly none of our beers, either on draught or in bottle, are totally vegan as we use the isinglass finings in all of our products."
Company email: October 2011
"Scarecrow, Duchy brands in bottle and M&S Staffordshire IPA are all processed without the aid of isinglass and therefore should be suitable for vegans."
Company email: Feb 2011
"There has been a change to the "fast cask" Hobgoblin - Isinglass finings are now used in the process pre filter, but not added to the cask itself. So the only beers we do now that have no isinglass finings at any stage of the process are the organic beers."
Company email: Jan 2011
"Unfortunately Brakspear Bitter & Triple are not suitable for Vegetarians, however we can confirm that our bottled organic ales as detailed below are suitable for vegetarians/vegans:
Wychwood Scarecrow
Brakspear Oxford Gold (bottled NOT cask)
Duchy Originals Organic Ale"
Company email: Nov 2010
"Yes all Hobgoblin is now fastcask and therefore vegan. I can't confirm all EPA and Pedigree is fastcask at present"
Company email: March 2010
"The only products we can guarantee free from isinglass finings are
Oxford Gold and Circle Master both of which are available in bottle. No cask beers are suitable. Circle Master and Oxford Gold in bottle are the only brands we own that do not use isinglass. Green Goblin is brewed by Thatchers who will be assuming a franchise in the near future. The Supermarket owned brands are not our brands; we brew them when we are asked to. Having said that we do brew the Duchy Originals for Waitrose and I believe we own the brand. Whatever, the supermarket beers listed I'm sure will still be suitable for vegetarians but out of courtesy it should be them rather than us that confirms it."

We have suffered through quite a bit of sickness in our home over the past six/eight weeks. Well....suffered....that's harsh, I suppose.
Suffering is dirt floors, starving bellies, tin roofs; malaria or AIDS.
One at a time, each taking their turn, the boys and Lola went down. Just when we thought we were done, it came back around and started all over, taking them one by one yet again. And then, a third time; this one, a completely different bug with new symptoms. Thankfully, puke wasn't one of them that round. And then again....last night....Lola. A. GAIN.
In truth, I've been given a gift with the sickness. It was hidden, and I had to dig a bit for it, but boy, I sure did enjoy it once it was found.
As the mother of sick children, I was given the gift of stopping without guilt.
I don't know about others, but I have a difficult time slowing down. My life is busy, what with (how many children do I have? Whoa) and a entrepreneurial, hard working husband who works sometimes many, many hours so that we can enjoy many of life's wonderful pleasures. Not the least of which is the opportunity that he has given me to stay home with all of my babies from the time they were born until that dreaded day in August--when I have cried as I watched them leave me for the excitement of Kindergarten.
I enjoy staying home. I am happiest in my kitchen. I fancy myself a decent (alright, pretty good), organized housekeeper and a fairly good cook. There is constantly something to be done to keep my family (and all that comes along with them) running smoothly. I don't need to list; you all know what those things are, and I'm sure between all of us, we could be here all day naming the things that keep us working from sun up till sun down (and most days, well beyond those hours).
There is so much to do that often, I feel guilty just enjoying my precious daughter during the day. Sitting means the other stuff isn't getting done.
Playing beauty shop. Doing nails. Watching Tinkerbell or Tangled or Veggie Tales. Playing Uno or Blink or dollhouse or "hold me like a baby" or dress up with the baby dolls. Reading.
That list could go on and on as well.
But being sick, especially when it hit me, has forced my hand. I had to stop. I had to be still, because it just hurt too bad to move too much!
And I found it was wonderful.
We did all of those things, and more. We laughed. We discovered some new things. We just enjoyed each other. And I said the words, "The house is kind of a wreck" to Shane as he came home from work more times than I probably have in the last year combined. He didn't seem to mind. He's awesome like that.
(Truth is, he has seen the value in my "being still" for some time and has been gently, patiently trying to work me toward it. Told you. Awesome.)
I've decided it was high time that I make more of an effort to live this way--even when my body (or theirs) isn't necessarily forcing me.
So, I've made my confession. I've said it before and I know I will say it again: I'm not a perfect mom. How about you--do you struggle with this, and if so, how do you find your balance?

We have suffered through quite a bit of sickness in our home over the past six/eight weeks. Well....suffered....that's harsh, I suppose.

In order for the academic pursuit of Jewish studies to continue, it must appeal to a broader audience outside the Jewish community, said Judith Baskin, a Jewish scholar, author and professor.
She was speaking to a roomful of academics and community members at the Midwest Jewish Studies Association (MJSA) conference at York University on Oct. 14.
"At the end of the 21st century, more and more students who choose undergraduate majors and graduate training in Jewish studies are non-Jews," said Baskin, who has spent 40 years in the field of academic Jewish studies.
She cited changing demographics as the reason for this shift. "The absolute number of Jews in the larger population in North America is in steady decline," said Baskin. "The future of Jewish studies in North American universities will depend on the field's continuing appeal to a larger constituency."
Her lecture, "Jewish Studies: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow?," was the plenary talk of the MJSA's annual conference, which brought students and faculty from around the world to York U last week.
Conference speakers included "musicologists, historians and scholars from all periods of Jewish studies, from biblical to modern for people all over the world," said Mara Cohen Ioannides, president of the MJSA.
There was a panel on German Jewry, language acquisition, and literature panels. It was "very broad in that sense, what ties us together is the unity of Jewish studies," Cohen Ioannides said.
As a veteran in the field, Baskin noted that Jewish studies has changed dramatically over the last 100 years.
"The significant expansion of Jewish studies in North American universities is a relatively recent phenomenon, although Hebrew language was included in the curriculum of several of the early colleges established in North America in the 17th and 18th century," said Baskin.
But Jewish studies was only truly established as an academic pursuit under the influence of German Jewish scholarship in the 1890s, she said. Then, in the late 19th century, academic Jewish positions were established at secular universities, thanks to the support of donor communities, who hoped that this would help gain acceptance of Jews in the United States. "It was a place where it was acceptable to have a Jewish scholar," said Baskin, unlike many other academic fields, which Jews were barred from.
Jewish studies became part of the mainstream academic university curriculum in between the world wars, when Jewish donors established areas of study such as Jewish history, modern Hebrew language and literature, she said. But in the 1960s and '70s, there was an emphasis on singling out Jewish learning into one academic program, "moving away from the earlier approach that encouraged the location of Jewish studies within a larger department," said Baskin. "The reasoning was similar to those for establishing African-American studies and later on, women's studies."
But the academic pursuit of Jewish studies is in for another shift, as the Jewish population dwindles in comparison to the rest of the world, increasing the diversity of students and faculty in Jewish studies programs.
"I spoke to someone recently at a very prestigious university," said Baskin, "and he said 10 per cent of his majors in Jewish studies are Jewish, but most are Asians. There's a very deep interest among Asians about Jews and Jewish success – economically, academically, professionally in the U.S. and also [how they] maintain their identity."
"I had a survey class in Jewish history, and I had two students from Japan and I showed a clip from Fiddler on the Roof, and they were just in tears – apparently it's the most popular musical in Japan," she said.
This diversity may pose a challenge to Jewish communities that fund and support Jewish academic learning.
"We've moved beyond being an academic venture about Jews, by Jews and for Jews," said Baskin. "And while the immortalization of Jewish studies is desirable from a scholarly point of view, however, the reality is it also points to potential future conflicts between academic Jewish studies programs and the concerns of the Jewish communities and donors who have thus far been absolutely essential to the presence and success of Jewish studies at North American institutions."
Ultimately, she said, Jewish communities will have to accept this changing reality in order to maintain Jewish academic programs at North American universities.

Grace Kelly would have approved.
That thought ran through my mind as I surveyed the tasteful retrospective on the Hollywood princess turned real-life royal at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa.
"From Philadelphia to Monaco: Grace Kelly — Beyond the Icon," which runs through Jan. 26, touches on Kelly's brief but memorable career in the movies while focusing on her much longer roles as the wife of Prince Rainier III of Monaco, the mother of three children and a champion of the arts and culture.
For a Philadelphian like me, the exhibition conjures up plenty of memories of this local girl who made really good.
The daughter of an Olympic gold medalist rower who owned a construction company, Kelly grew up among the upper middle class in Philadelphia before moving to New York and later Hollywood to pursue an acting career. In less than five years, she reached the pinnacle of big-screen success, winning the 1954 Academy Award for Best Actress for "The Country Girl" before giving up Hollywood to marry her prince.
During my childhood in the 1970s, Princess Grace regularly adorned the covers of my mom's magazines and the gossip pages of the newspapers. There were sightings of her in the summer at the Kelly family vacation home in Ocean City, N.J., and one final public appearance in her home town in the spring of 1982 at a film festival in her honor. Later that year, she died at age 52, after suffering a stroke while driving to her vacation home in the south of France.
The exhibition, which is being mounted at the Bucks County museum an hour north of Philadelphia in cooperation with the Grimaldi Forum Monaco and Montreal's McCord Museum, mixes the personal with the official. The installation of about 40 dresses and couture gowns and dozens of objects maintains the air of decorum one might expect from a blonde starlet who stood out in 1950s Hollywood for her white gloves, cool reserve and understated sense of style.
"I've been accused of being cold, snobbish, distant," acknowledged Princess Grace, according to one of a series of quotes adorning the walls of the exhibit space. "Those who know me well know that I'm nothing of the sort. If anything, the opposite is true. But is it too much to ask to want to protect your private life, your inner feelings? Lots of things touch me and I don't want to be indiscreet."
The case for Kelly as an icon of elegance is easily made in the main display of her frocks by such major designers as Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy and Marc Bohan for Christian Dior, and her signature "Kelly" bag by Hermès. A special room is dedicated to her storybook 1956 wedding, with her shoes, a silk-covered "Bride's Manual" and other items on display. (The wedding dress itself, created by MGM costume designer Helen Rose under "top-secret conditions," is too fragile to be exhibited, according to Philadelphia Museum of Art curator and Kelly expert Kristina Haugland.)
At the same time, Princess Grace was known to — gasp! — wear dresses a second time. Or, as Haugland put it, she was "as loyal to old clothes as to old friends."
The real woman behind the fashion plate also comes through, via family photographs and mementos and glimpses of life behind the palace gates. The former Grace Kelly could just as easily dress the part of a mom in a scarf and a casual blouse and pants and didn't mind being photographed that way. Normal life for her wasn't quite like yours and mine, however. Video clips show her children mingling with such old Hollywood pals of hers as Cary Grant, Bing Crosby and Alfred Hitchcock. In one note, Queen Elizabeth II expresses her admiration for the princess's "sweet children"; other correspondents include opera diva Maria Callas and legendary cabaret entertainer Josephine Baker.
The overall effect is to create a portrait of a very public woman who valued her privacy and never told all, a rarity in the current climate of ready access to celebrity through Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other media du jour.
Although it's not clear whether Princess Grace ever visited Doylestown, she made her professional stage debut in 1949 at the Bucks County Playhouse in nearby New Hope. Her appearance in a production of "The Torch-Bearers," a play written by her Pulitzer Prize-winning uncle, George Kelly, is part of a concurrent exhibition at the Michener marking the 75th anniversary of the playhouse, which has featured many once-and-future screen and theater stars over the course of its history.
Doylestown, with about 1,200 buildings listed in its nationally recognized historic district, its brick-lined sidewalks and compact, walkable downtown, speaks more to Kelly's American side than her jet-setting life among the European elite. It's the place of businesses such as Posh Hair Design, Nicholas and Alexandra Jewelers and a boutique called Très Bien, with nary a Gucci, Chanel or Hermès in sight.
Several businesses do have tie-ins to the exhibition. The Doylestown Bookshop, a sprawling space with comfy sofas and a small cafe, has added a stockpile of books about the princess. The County Theater, a restored movie house, is also hosting a mini-festival, with screenings of her three films with Hitchcock: "Dial M for Murder," "Rear Window" and "To Catch a Thief."
Still, Doylestown has its own castle — Fonthill — a rambling, poured-concrete mansion constructed in the early 20th century without blueprints and consisting of a series of crooked rooms that are exuberantly decorated with tiles produced by owner Henry Mercer's Moravian Pottery & Tile Works. The castle is part of the Mercer Mile, which includes the Tile Works, a key producer during the Arts and Crafts movement that's open for tours, and a six-story museum built in 1916 to house Mercer's collection of 50,000 tools, folk art and other objects from the pre-Industrial Age. Together, Mercer's over-the-top holdings make for quite the contrast to Princess Grace's judicious sense of restraint.
But if Hollywood hadn't worked out and Rainier hadn't come calling, it's not hard to imagine someone of Grace Kelly's background settling down with a more common prince in a quiet burg just like this one.

Check what some of our readers have had to say this past week. To continue the conversations — or read the whole comments — click the links.
On quarterlife:
"…especially with all the recent layoffs, quarter-lifers like myself are stuck answering the age-old question: what should I do with my life? I have a full-time job I enjoy and am still struggling… The best thing about the mid-20s is that you can dress and act like a teenager (and get away with it) and dress and act like an upwardly mobile junior executive (and get away with it). The worst part about the mid-20s: trying to decide which of those images accurately reflects YOU." — Timithie
"I'm getting stressed out just reading those questions! I've been trying to decide on a car to purchase for five years. FIVE YEARS. I can make great decisions at the office – but when it comes to this… hybrid? 4-wheel drive? fun? practical? lease? buy? 2-door? navigation? red? leather? floormats? cupholders? aaargh. Hello, indecisions and paralysis. It's embarrassing, frankly. Although, should I be embarassed, or embrace it? Share it, or hide it? Fake it, or own it? I digress." — Page
"It's so wonderful to have the plethora of options that we do…but I have no idea which way to go. Some of the stuff I have absolutely nailed down – I know what kind of clothes I like to wear; I know that I DON'T want to be a mathematician… As for the rest…I'm at a loss." — Marjorie
About women and their choices:
"I am 65 years old and have had the option to work or not work throughout my marriage. …Up to about 35 I used to worry about why I liked to change and explore new things and what was wrong with me that I could not find one goal or profession and stick to it for life like Georgia O' Keefe did with her passion for painting. But, at around 40, I decided to accept that this is just who I am… I have continued to and hope to never stop changing, learning and growing as the years go on and love it that way." — Dottie
"I am mostly happy with my job — it's challenging and well-paid and flexible — but at the same time I constantly feel like I'm just dancing around in circles on the fringes of "the dream job." I also struggle with how big and important a role I want career to play in my life anyway. I came out of law school thinking I wanted career to be my entire life, and the older I get, the less important career seems and the more important the rest of life seems…" — Anne
"What a relief to find that I'm not the only one who has experienced this phenomenon! I keep reading everything, thinking, "Yes, yes, yes!" My sister used to tease me that I was on the semester system in life because I was always moving and changing jobs. But really I was just worried that I was missing my "true calling" or not doing enough to fulfill my parents' expectations after all that schooling. .. Now I'm almost 40 and starting yet a new career… Looking back I can see how the choices and self-inflicted expectations led to a major paralysis in my mid-20's…" — Marisa
"One of my favorite things about being a woman, and about women in general, is how they tend to be better at adapting to change than men. I feel this is a real benefit when you look at the number of choices before us these days…You have to bend and mold and be flexible to be successful in life and I see that women really tend to show this strength. No wonder we have so many choices before us…women rule. I say "Bring it ON"!! — Ani
"Yes, I swim in a sea of confusion over my options! Being a woman who feels she is unlimited, I've spent too much time debating my opportunities instead of picking one path and sticking with it. I can't complain; life has been good. I do, however, feel concern that I might be overlooking the one thing that is my "calling." From orchestra conductor to herpetologist to cartographer to photographer to writer, I've wanted to do it all. I also know that I can, we all can…" — Lauren
On "Commencement":
"…I'm curious to see how women (or men) from previous generations would relate to the characters. One interesting tidbit, I thought, was from one of the character's mothers, who said — while cooking dinner and doing 90% of the housework — that women with careers and families makes life easier for one gender… men." — Colleen
On the pressure of the passion versus paycheck dilemma:
"I feel like I have dealt with this issue my entire life, just on a slightly different level. What if you don't have a passion? It always seems to come up: What would you do if time, money and experience didn't matter, how would you spend your time? Honestly, I have no idea. … When I did my corporate job for 10 years, I did it well (I have the annual reviews to back that up), but it wasn't what I lived for. I worked to live, not lived to work. My real life was always on the verge of something else. The verge of what? who knows. I was talking with a friend this weekend who basically thought it was pointless to work in a job that wasn't emotionally, spiritually, and creatively fullfilling. I thought good for her, but what about everyone else? I kept thinking, this is a first-world problem and really doesn't apply to much of the world." — Joanna
On the happiness gap:
"… with so many choices and so many opportunities, it seems like women can now choose careers that they want to pursue rather than doing something they have to do. Unfortunately, our society seems to encourage us to seek out jobs that pay the most money rather than jobs that we enjoy. Finding a high-paying job you love isn't easy. Of course we all need money to live, but is it worth doing something that causes so much stress just to have the money? Perhaps the women that are the most anxious, stressed and medicated are those that are pursuing high-paying, high-stress jobs that they hate – jobs that in the past may have been held primarily by men." — Jennifer

Evidence of Knitting
First, Erica and I had a great time in Sandi Rosner's Winning Socks Class last weekend at Purlescence (she blogged all about it here). And I challenged myself to not only knit a wee sock toe-up (I've done that a few times), but to also use DPNs! I've used DPNs for hats and such, but I'm a magic loop girl when it comes to socks. I think I may actually challenge myself to knit a pair of socks using DPNs this summer...it wasn't as bad as I thought (and I really liked using Kollage's square needles!), and it may actually be easier to lever knit with them. I'll keep you posted.
The next knitting, well, technically it isn't mine.
Erica started a Merrily Cowl while at sock camp using STR heavyweight in January One, and OMG!! I just love how drapey the cowl is in heavyweight (and we know I have plenty of that in my stash!!). I'm thinking of making one in Jabberwocky to get ready for fall!
I did finish my Sweet Home socks!! I heart them and Sock-a-licious together! The pattern is with my test knitters so I'm hoping it will be released in the next week or so!
Now off to see Despicable Me with Big and Lil Snowboarders!
Happy Weekend!
xoxo Irishgirlieknits

You can knit a whole pair of socks with DPN's! I'm a magic loop girl for socks too but dh got me a set of sock sticks for my b-day. It was kind of fun to use them :-)

Double pointed needles. What are those. I think I saw some in a historical museum. Haha ha. Just kidding. I don't know where mine are! It's been that long.
Fun fun - and the cowl looks lovely on you, darling. Yes yes. Knit one for Fall.

Can't wait to see Sweet Home, well you know the photo shoot ;)
I too love my ML, I do have some dpns but I may have to give the square ones a try.
Hope the movie was good, I want to see it soon too!

Ooo, I can't wait for the new pattern to come out! When I got Blackberry Brambles for the KAL I had the thought to knit through all your patterns. One day: ) Good luck with DPN's. I can't stand the things.
- July 10, 2010 at 10:51:00 PM PDT
- SissySees said...
If you and G agree, tell her to email me the pattern and I'll fax it to her Monday morning... ;)
I'm really, REALLY loving Cotty. I was able to squeak in a full repeat going and coming from the pig roast yesterday, and I actually pouted when we didn't stop by the firehouse last night because I had Cotty all ready to entertain me!
I've knitted socks with dpns before. For a while, I loyally followed the pattern as written, but I really do prefer Magic Loop.

- Neuroknitter said...
That sock-a-licious yarn looks delish!! And those socks are lovely :)
Too funny, I was a dpn girl for years...and years...After getting turned on to the ML method I haven't gone back...I do miss using all those pretty wooden needles though!
Happy knitting!

- Unknown said...
I like the feel of Kollage's square dpn's but they are a little short for me.
But I think they'll inform your sock knitting design more now that you've knit a sock, abeit a teeny-tiny one, on dpn's.

The new economy not only poses challenges, but also offers opportunities for both private and public sectors alike. To meet the challenges and take the opportunities, government must take active initiatives to adopt new management tools, techniques and philosophies of the private sector and adapt to its circumstance. Knowledge management (KM) is such an area that needs to be further explored and exploited for its full benefits to be reaped. Key issues, challenges, and opportunities of KM in the public sector need to be addressed and better understood.

Looking for a nice container
Have you ever bought teas with a very nice container, I am going to buy some but have no idea. Do you have some recommendation?

Re: Looking for a nice container
I own a few of those Adagio tins, I bought them at the store in Chicago. I actually like them quite a bit, they seem to be pretty air tight and the build quality is nice. My only gripe would be that the top is see-through, and I worried about light possibly damaging my tea. The website says that the top part is UV-blocking though, so I stopped worrying about it. The tins have worked well so far for me, and have stayed in better shape than some of the much cheaper containers I've bought from www.specialtybottle.com .Steve@Adagio wrote: I recommend one of our storage containers:
However, if you're looking for buying a bunch of tea tins at once and need something cheaper, check out Specialtybottle. Their stuff is mega cheap, and they ship very quickly. The build quality is something you'd expect from mass-produced tea tins, but they do the job and keep tea protected from air and light (though the actual air-tightness of the cheap ones there is probably not as whole as the ones from Adagio, or other nicer tea caddies for that matter).
There are also several tea vendors that carry nice tea tins. For example, Sazen tea carries a bunch of tea caddies that are pretty sweet: https://www.sazentea.com/en/products/c3-tea-accessories. I own a few of the really small, plain brushed metal ones, and they are great for the price ($2.11 each). They have this one, which is a large brushed bronze one for around $6.
I personally tend to like the Japanese tea caddies most, because they are aesthetically pleasing and do the job really well, having two methods of sealing (snapping lid and a lid on top that slides on). I particularly like the caddies that have washi paper on the outside, which Teavana actually sells for a pretty reasonable price (only thing I would ever go there for). You could also check Rishi tea for these, they have loads of them for pretty cheap: https://www.rishi-tea.com/category/tea-storage. This one is only $10, and has an awesome pattern on the washi paper, and holds about 100g of tea.
Now, if you're looking for nice nice tea caddies, check out the sakura bark caddies or the real tin ware caddies handmade in Japan. Some higher end Japanese vendors carry them, the first one I can think of being Artistic Nippon: Osaka tin ware, Sakura bark caddies. Or if you can find Chinese or Japanese pewter tea caddies, those are awesome from what I've heard.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: I actually thought of even more options for you, based off some of the other containers I have. I totally forgot about ceramic containers! They can be very nice. But first, what kind of tea are you looking to store in these? More delicate green teas, requiring the most air tight container you can get, or oolong/black/puerh tea, for which you might want to use a container that isn't completely air tight, so the tea can breathe and develop over time.
