Edgar Miles Bronfman, Jr. (born May 16, 1955), formerly CEO of Seagram and vice-chairman of Vivendi Universal, has been CEO of Warner Music since 2004. He is the son of Edgar Miles Bronfman and the grandson of Samuel
Bronfman, one of the most wealthy and influential Jewish families in Canada. Edgar Jr. is the second of five children, and was indicated by his grandfather in 1971 as being suitable as the heir to the Seagram Company. From his early days,
Bronfman's interest in the arts was apparent. He was particularly active in school theatre, an interest his parents supported by donating to construct The Ann and Edgar Bronfman Theatre during a 1967 expansion at The Collegiate School, the
prestigious private school in Manhattan which Edgar Jr. attended. Edgar Jr. and his classmates created a documentary film of the school that spawned the Collegiate Film Festival, an event that gained positive press in The Los Angeles Times
and The Village Voice. Bronfman proceeded to a brief career in entertainment in the 1970s as a film and Broadway producer. The summer before his final year of high school, in 1972, he was a credited producer on the film, The Blockhouse.
Despite his inexperience, Bronfman's involvement was accepted because of his connections and access to financing. In return, he learned many of the tricks of the trade by watching his more experienced peers. In 1973, Bronfman began a
songwriting career under the pseudonyms Junior Miles and Sam Roman. He often collaborated with Bruce Roberts on songs like "Whisper in the Dark", which he gave to Dionne Warwick to record in thanks for introducing him to his first wife,
Sherry. His Efer Productions company was signed by Universal Studios in 1977 to a three-year movie production contract. He produced the unsuccessful film The Border, which starred Jack Nicholson. In 1982, Bronfman returned to the Seagram
Company, spending three months learnin

This is my second blog (actually it was my first but I couldn't figure out how to post it so it would appear on the main page). Going to make it a quick one. Some insight on me:
Wrestlemania V was my first time ever watching WWF.
I was mad when they had to change the name to WWE. My solution was put a panda and Stone Cold in a steel cage. Winner got the rights. Though the
Should the Rock have won? Honestly it could have gone either way, but to be honest; its what the fans wanted. Listen to how the crowds have been eating up the Rock. When WWE doesn't listen to the crowds the IWC jumps all over them. I mean seriously the crowd loves chanting Bryan Daniels and yet when the WWE ignores, we get irate. And while I like Ryder, I'm not the biggest fan, but again the crowd

I usually take a walk around the block. The fresh air and actual physical activity calms me down and lets me get rid of any adrenaline.
Listen to 'Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta' by Geto Boys and imagine that you are smashing a printer.
There is a little difference between what I do and what I should do.
What I do (not so bad): stop programming, make a pause.
What I should do (better): take a nap. It is impressive how a difficult problem solve himself after a nap.
I draft a blog post about the situation... and then delete it, because who cares? The only person that cares about the situation is you, and frequently nobody else wants to hear you whining. Much as I would like it to be the case, I'm not the center of the universe - if I were, perhaps my insights and experience would be more valuable. As it is though, pretty much nobody cares about what I have to say, no matter how insightful it is - why? Because pretty much everything I have to say has been said by one or other more famous people than me because much of what I think about today has already been thought of weeks, months or years ago by someone else.
It is therapeutic to write about it, and try and justify why I feel the way I do about it. Often, the process of trying to justify my feelings either makes me feel better and gives me an approach to resolve the situation, or it makes me realize I was being an idiot.
Either way, it's good therapy.
This one works for others who want to remain calm at all times:
Instead of "releasing" my anger, I used to just slam my first onto the keyboard. It felt good and keyboards were cheap.
Unfortunately, I forgot to stop this habit when I got a laptop. Guess what's under your laptop's keyboard? Your hard drive. Guess what happens when you apply a lot of blunt pressure to a hard drive?
At least I had backups.
Pull up Starcraft and take it out on some Zerg.
I rant. Much to the amusement of my co-workers, but it helps me let off steam.
Favourite phrase: "...and another thing"
Feel the anger.
Feel it.
Think about it.
It's anger. See? You just felt it.
You are not your anger.
Anger goes away.
Loud music. Very loud music. "I am hated", "everything ends" and "people = shit" are all very good choices. For me, it really does help... Im not a phcologist, but what I think happens is that it channels anger into energy, to the point where you can just sit down and hammer out whatever dumb/pointless/inane task you were asked to complete and not even think about it.
I think to answer your question: the most professional way to deal with it is not be confrontational (at least while you're angry, and until you can assess the situation with a clear mind) and turn that momentum into productive work. The worst thing you can do is argue with the subject of your anger, as these confrontations will turn bad very quick. Its good for neither party.
I think it's good to do something non-frustrating for a change, like read a few pages of a book, exercise, take the dog for a walk, and generally do something very different to give your brain a break and get perspective.
This is not an exact parallel, but I get to a certain point in translation (usually a few long paragraphs) and I simply become temporarily exhausted, and need to do something different so I can continue later.
Succumb to the Dark Side, focus your anger and prove whoever/whatever is provoking you wrong.
The anger you describe is created by your mind.
Between the trigger (something happened) and the emotion (the consequence), there is you with your beliefs.
The emotion can be fear, jealousy, depression, shame, etc. In your case it's anger.
The most well known technique to change how you react to events is to use the ABC model.
In short this technique will helps you understand you control response to emotions. However you can't control your emotions.
If it's too technical for you (it should be), I suggest you to read the first chapter (habit) of the 7 Habits described by Stephen Covey.
It's easier to understand and he talks about excellent Viktor Frankl's work.
I frown when I'm really angry then I shift back my focus to coding.
Go to Starbucks or other coffeehouse and relax for 5 minutes with a mocha.
I have a whole set of mantras that I have to run through with the order depending on the situation:
And then I schedule some time to kick the heavy bag.
Martial arts classes give you a lot of useful perspective. It's hard to get quite so worked up when you remember that your hobby includes a real possibility of getting kicked in the head. Maybe that annoying guy in the meeting isn't such a big deal after all....
Usually, I think through what I've learned about anger.
For me, anger is essentially how I respond to not getting my way. I want one thing, the world wants another, and I get mad. I want to be valued and respected, George wants everybody to know that the problem we're having is my fault even though it's really his fault, and now I'm mad at George.
Is George a dick? Unquestionably. Am I mad at George because he's a dick? Well, I used to think so. "God damn George, that weaselly little prick," I'd think. "He doesn't have the guts to admit that it's his fault, and so he's letting everybody think it's my fault."
Now, I think, "I want people to think I'm smart and do the right thing, and now this situation's threatening that." My will is being thwarted. How do I choose to deal with it?
Thinking this way helps me sort out the things I need from the things I want. I want people to think I'm smart. I need to be secure. If my security's really jeopardized by what George did, I have to deal with it. If it's not, then I really don't need to worry about it that much.
I can do this because I've had the experience, in my life, of getting everything I wanted and still being incredibly unhappy. I've also had the experience of being remarkably happy even though I'm not getting what I want. From this experience I (eventually) learned that getting what I want and being happy are independent variables.
Given that, once I recognize that I'm angry because I'm not getting what I want, I tend to place a lot less importance on my anger.
Also, this lets me looks at George in a new light. What's he going through that he has to act this way? What's he afraid of? Is there something I can do to help him, so that he doesn't have to continue going through whatever painful circumstance is causing him to act like a dick?
If I focus my efforts on repairing the damage in the world around me, rather than jealously protecting my stuff, I don't stay angry long. Also, people like me more. I like me more. I'm happy. Even though I'm not getting my way.
When I get mad I just bask in whatever aspects of my program I've completed. Then play some other games.
For the practical course of action, talking to my better half relieves me of most of my frustration, or a close friend that has no relation to my work. They usually give sound and impartial advise. And halfway while talking, sense usually gets knocked into me either by realizing how silly, easily resolvable or futile the problem is.
Depends on the degree of the anger I have:
This is mostly from a work situation where it may or may not be code that is causing the frustration that is being turned into anger emotionally. Another way to see this is how much control does my emotions have over me at any point in time: Just a little as something didn't go my way but my tenacity and confidence are still there to keep at it, more than a little so that I have to do something else to clear my head for a short time, quite a bit as I need to retreat into my comfort zone where I can employ any of a few coping techniques like playing video games, talking to friends, getting exercise, having something to eat, or taking a nap, or lastly if I feel I've lost most of my control and want to be committed for a little while.

Awesome soap!
Awesome soap! Lasts much longer than other soaps, great lather, moisturizing and smells great.
heavenly bath soap
I absolutely love this soap! I had bought one to try it out and loved it so much I ended up buying 10 more so I wouldn't run out. Now it is my special soap for long luxurious baths, and my husband gets in trouble for stealing it from my bathtub. The scent is refreshing and invigorating as citrus can be, along with the sweet undertone of agave, reminds me of Hawaii or the tropics!
Intoxicating fragrance
My greatest fear is they will stop making what is now my favorite fragrance. I love the bar soap and the room spray. The soap is foamy and lasts a long time. When I smell the fragrance in the shower I want to linger awhile.

|This is a tasty casserole or side dish made with those inevitable monster zucchinis!
(Makes 8 servings, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from a blog that no longer exists.)
1 monster zucchini, 14-16 inches long
(or use several smaller ones but don't cut out seeds and saute for a shorter time)
2 T olive oil
1-2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
(or use any all-purpose seasoning that's good on vegetables)
salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
3/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese (I used low-fat Mozzarella)
6 eggs
2 T milk, half and half, or cream (I used 2% milk)
1/2 cup + 1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan or Asiago (If you only have finely grated Parmesan I would use a little less)
Wash zucchini, then cut off ends and cut in half crosswise to get manageable sized pieces. Cut each half into fourths (or sixths) lengthwise. Use a spoon or small knife to scrape away the seeds and most of the white inside, leaving about 3/8 inch of white attached to the skin. Then cut each strip crosswise into pieces about 3/8 inch wide.
Heat olive oil in large nonstick frying pan, add zucchini and saute 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat. Add Spike and fresh basil and saute 2-3 minutes more, seasoning the zucchini with salt and fresh ground black pepper. (Zucchini should be barely starting to soften.)
Put zucchini into casserole dish with the Mozzarella cheese. Combine eggs, milk, and 1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan or Asiago and beat well. Pour egg mixture over zucchini and cheese and gently stir so it's well combined, with some zucchini pieces "peeking" out of the egg. Sprinkle the other 1/2 cup Parmesan or Asiago over top.
Bake 35-45 minutes, or until the mixture is well set and slightly browned on top. Serve hot.
The flavors in this dish are similar to Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake, which is the recipe I would probably use if I had regular-sized zucchini.
South Beach Suggestions:
With low-fat mozzarella and milk, this recipe would be a good side dish or main dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet or any type of low-glycemic eating plan. As a main dish, I'd pair this with something like a Perfect Lettuce Salad or Mediterranean Salad with Hummus Dressing.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

A Half-Century Of Elizabeth Taylor Weddings
Since last night's premier of Lifetime's Liz & Dick with Lindsay Lohan, we can't stop talking about the late great Elizabeth Taylor who remains the reigning queen of style, Hollywood glamour, and, of course, weddings! Taylor married eight times during her lifetime to seven different men (she married Richard Burton twice!) and each wedding was different than the next.
Wedding #1: Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, 1950-1951Paris Hilton's great-uncle wed Elizabeth Taylor when she was only 18-years-old. The marriage lasted 205 days (that's still longer than Kim Kardashian's). Taylor wore a traditional white A-line gown with an off-the-shoulder neckline and accessorized with a pearl tiara and pearl necklace for her Beverly Hills wedding. The young Taylor's first wedding would be the most traditional of her eight weddings.
Wedding # 2: Michael Wilding, 1952-1957After her divorce from Nicky Hilton, the silver screen starlet wed Michael Wilding, an English actor, in London. Her outfit choice for the simple civil ceremony was decidedly demure compared to the over-the-top fashion choices Liz would be known for.
Wedding #3: Michael Todd, 1957-1958For her wedding to film and Broadway producer Michael Todd, she had two ceremonies one in Acapulco, Mexico and a civil ceremony in Spain. Todd also proposed with a 29.4 carat emerald cut diamond ring!
Wedding #4: Eddie Fisher, 1959-1964The black and white film star wasn't shy when it came to color. The emerald green tea-length gown Taylor donned for her wedding to singer Eddie Fisher is a reminder that Taylor was one of the best dressed women of the century.
Wedding #5: Richard "Dick" Burton, 1964 – 1974Dick Burton (played by Grant Bowler in Liz & Dick) is said to have been Liz's one true love. The couple met on the set of Taylor's hit film Cleopatra After a decade of marriage they divorced only to be wed again. Liz donned a short yellow shift, an oversized flower crown and long braid. The wedding took place in Montreal just 9 days after her divorce from Eddie Fisher.
Wedding #6: Richard Burton, 1975-1976For their second wedding Liz and Dick tied the knot in Kasane Botswana. Taylor donned a non-traditional flowing green dress and Burton dressed in a casual turtleneck and slacks.
Wedding #7: John Warner, 1976-1982This time around, Taylor ditched the big screen for politics when choosing her 6th husband, the former Senator John Warner. For the December wedding Taylor wore a fur cuffed coat and matching turban for a dramatic flare.
Wedding #8: Larry Fortensky, 1991-1996Fortensky was Taylor's last husband. They wed at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch as Taylor and MJ were longtime friends. Taylor went with a more traditional look with an off-the-shoulder floor-length lace gown. Taylor's larger-than-life permed 'do rivaled Fortensky's fluffed up mullet for most 90s hairstyle.

Public meeting on Mountain School purchaseBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | March 25,2013WINHALL The Mountain School, an independent school that serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, has made an agreement with the town and the Winhall School Board to buy its building and the land on which it is sited, but the agreement must be approved by voters who will weigh in April 2.
At 7 p.m. today there will be a public information meeting at the school during which Charles Scranton, chairman of the schools board of trustees, and Daren Houck, head of school for the Mountain School, will make presentations and answer questions.
The sale of the school, if approved by voters, is expected to give the Winhall School Board $700,000 which can be used in the future to reduce property taxes. The sale would also mean under the agreement that the school would continue to be a community center and public meeting place.
During town meeting, both the floor meeting and voting take place at the school and this practice would continue.
Scranton, who has been on the board for five years, said the purchase of the school building and grounds by the Mountain School has been a longtime goal because of the long-term plans for the school to control our own destiny, he said.
We expect as enrollment increases and so does our desire to improve programs, that has facilities implications. Its hard to imagine going out and raising money for a facility that we dont own, he said.
Scranton said that any facilities improvements, as well as the purchase of the school and grounds, would be done through private philanthropy and not through student tuition. Area residents would recognize the policy as the same one used by Burr and Burton Academy, where Scranton was the previous headmaster, which also raises all money for building construction and upgrade through fundraising.
The Mountain School has made an agreement with the school district to keep its tuition increases over the next three years at less than 3 percent as a condition of the sale.
To me, its a win-win. There are no tax consequences of the purchase and the advantage, to the town, of expanding the facility through private philanthropy just makes sense, Scranton said.
Houck said the sale was important educationally because the Mountain School is operating beyond its capacity to offer programs to students.
Were teaching in little nooks and crannies. We have a commitment to keep our classes to a minimum of 15 kids or less per class, which weve done were about 12 kids in a class but with the programs that we continue to expand as the school grows, were just out of space, he said.
Houck pointed out the school needed to expand just to meet its current goals, but he also wanted the space for the Mountain School, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, to grow for the next 15 years. The school already lacks a full-size gymnasium and science laboratories and the art and music teachers share a classroom, although both programs are expected to expand for the 2013-14 school year.
Winhall is one of the few municipalities in Bennington County which still transacts almost all business, except for election of officers, from the floor at its town and school meeting. Similarly, voters will be asked to approve from the floor the sale of the building and the grounds, which will be two separate questions. If both are not approved, the project will not move forward.
The vote will take place at 7 p.m. April 2, also at the school. Scranton said he and Houck would also be attending that meeting to provide information and answer questions.

|Rogov's Kosher Wine Suggestions List
Presented by KosherEye.com
from Daniel Rogov, Wine Connoisseur, Critic, Author
From the KosherEye "chat" with Daniel Rogov, a list of wine suggestions – Some best value for money wines/wineries and luxury value.
Now you don't have to try and remember which wine, from what country, that Rogov suggested. Just print this list and take Rogov with you to the wine store.
• The two countries currently producing the best kosher wines are the U.S.–California, including Napa and Sonoma, and Israel – wines from the Golan Heights, Upper Galilee and Judean Hills.
• Other countries that produce good kosher wines are:
Best Value Wines:
• California:
Hagafen Winery: The Don Ernesto wines are a very good value for the money.
• South America and Europe:
The above wines are ones that you would drink now and enjoy - they are not meant to be keep for long periods of time - drink with a year.
Luxury Wines and a brief description:
• Herzog, Cabernet Sauvignon, Special Reserve, Warnecke Vineyard, Chalk Hill, 2007: Dark garnet toward royal purple in color, full-bodied with soft tannins and spicy wood in fine balance with fruits. An almost floral nose yields comfortably to clean notes of blackcurrants, blackberries and espresso coffee and, from mid-palate on, hints of licorice and baking chocolate. Drink now – 2014. $75 Score 91.
• Herzog, Cabernet Sauvignon, Special Reserve, Alexander Valley, 2008: Deep garnet with a robe of royal purple, full-bodied with generous tannins and spicy oak in fine balance with fruits. On the nose and palate an abundance of blackberries, currants and black cherries, those yielding at one moment to notes of espresso coffee and at another to a hint of bittersweet chocolate. Drink now - 2016. $35. Score 90.
• Covenant, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2007: Made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, dark ruby toward royal purple in color, full-bodied and well extracted, showing gently gripping tannins and opening beautifully in the glass. On the nose and palate currants, plums and cassis, those complemented by notes of mixed spices, sweet cedar wood and light smoky oak. Drink now – 2023. $88. Score 93..
• Covenant, Red C, Napa Valley, 2007: Riper and more fruit-forward than the Covenant. Garnet to royal purple, medium- to full-bodied, with soft tannins integrating nicely to highlight blackberry and black cherry fruits, those on a tantalizing spicy background. Soft and round but with plenty to grab the attention. Drink now – 2013. $45. Score 90.
• Carmel, Limited Edition, 2005: A Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (65%, 17%, 15% and 3% respectively). Dark ruby toward garnet, medium- to full-bodied, with generous soft tannins and reflecting its 15 months in barriques with light toasty and spicy oak. Blackberry and black cherry fruits on first attack, yielding to blackcurrants and appealing hints of lead pencil and vanilla and, on the moderately long finish, a near-sweet and elegant tobacco note. Drink now – 2013. $100. Score 92.
• Domaine du Castel, Grand Vin, 2007: The by-now traditional Grand Vin blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, that flushed out with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Full-bodied, dark and well extracted, firm on opening but yielding comfortably in the glass to reveal gently caressing tannins, notes of spicy oak and generous blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry fruits, those supported by notes of mocha, orange peel and black olives. On the super-long finish a tempting note of licorice. Long, generous and coherent. Drink now – 2015. $65. Score 93.
• Segal, Cabernet Sauvignon, Unfiltered, 2007: Perhaps the best of Segal's unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon releases to date. Dark garnet, full-bodied, with a black fruit and spicy nose, showing firm tannins that yield comfortably in the glass to reveal on first attack blackberries and bitter-sweet chocolate, those followed by notes of red and black currants, those matched nicely by notes of cloves, dill and black olives all lingering nicely on a long and generous finish. Approachable and enjoyable now but best from 2012 - 2017, perhaps longer. $70. Score 92.
• Yatir, Yatir Forest, 2007: Dark garnet toward royal purple, a full-bodied, softly tannic blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Petit Verdot and 7% each of Malbec and Merlot, those reflecting 16 months development in barriques with notes of spicy cedarwood and of roasted almonds. On first attack blackcurrants and blackberries, those making way for purple plums, bittersweet chocolate and licorice. On the long and generous finish tannins and fruits rise comfortably together. Approachable and enjoyable now but best 2012 – 2021. $80. Score 93.

As we close out 2011, I did not want to forget to applaud the welcome attention this year brought to maximizing the entrepreneurial potential of women. A recent report, Overcoming the Gender Gap: Women Entrepreneurs as Economic Drivers, showed that despite the fact that about 46 percent of the workforce and more than 50 percent of college students are female, they represent only about 35 percent of startup business owners and tend to experience less growth and prosperity compared to firms started by men.
While we are seeing more attention to addressing the paucity of useful national entrepreneurship data globally, efforts to develop comparable city-level information have been less of a focus with only a handful of global city rankings. How are city leaders now moving beyond dated "cluster and technology park" thinking to appeal to entrepreneurs and investors?
The Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship introduced this week a legislation to reauthorize the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program along with the Small Business Technology Transfer program (STTR), which were scheduled to expire at the end of July...
The China we knew as the enormous economy largely fueled by cheap labor and inexpensive manufacturing has changed. Though happening slowly compared to its potential, China is becoming one of the most innovative economies on the planet and the birthplace of entrepreneurs like Robin Li, CEO of Baidu, who are entrepreneurial rock stars at home and around the world. Entrepreneurial capitalism seems to be taking hold in China. How is entrepreneurship overcoming the roadblocks of a planned economy?
Holding an American and British passport, I enjoy the freedom to move easily among economies which is important given that I am now involved in advancing entrepreneurship in 140 countries. As APEC gets ready to complete the rollout of its APEC travel card and other regions outside the European Community develop single visa plans, I wonder how easy it is for current and aspiring entrepreneurs and investors to get around. Is it indeed getting better?
The recent announcement of Richard Branson, the world-famous entrepreneur best known for his Virgin brand empire and his passion for adventure sports, as the headline speaker at the upcoming Global Entrepreneurship Congress has generated a significant amount of attention and interest.
As the day starts in Washington, DC, we are concluding the first of day of the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Congress
. The entrepreneurship communities from 153 countries gathered to bond on their common cause to unleash new ideas, remove roadblocks and solve problems in almost every imaginable realm. Following a welcome from Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the GEC kicked off with thousands of delegates at the Research + Policy Summit.
Since the economic crisis broke out, entrepreneurship has attracted increased attention as a key path to economic recovery. I was happy to see that entrepreneurs have been set apart from some of the negative perceptions of big business and the blame being placed on large financial institutions for the economic meltdown. The question is whether such recognition of entrepreneurs as an engine for growth and innovation translated into concrete pro-entrepreneurship policies.

If Maple stays at 141 I think this is one of the most intriguing match ups next year if he stays at that weight. Maple has a lot of length and quickness that Logan has not seen in awhile. Ramos is quick and aggressive, but Maple can cover alot of surface area on the mat. THoughts?

Romney's Birther "Joke" Wasn't a Joke.
This afternoon, while campaigning in Michigan, Mitt Romney made a little joke about President Obama's birth certificate:
Here's the text:
I love being home, in this place where Ann and I were raised. Where both of us were born … No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised.
Here's the Obama campaign's response:
Throughout this campaign, Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them. It's one thing to give the stage in Tampa to Donald Trump, Sheriff Arpaio, and Kris Kobach. But Governor Romney's decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America.
Naturally, Team Romney is trying to stop this from becoming a national story, and the campaign has offered a variety of excuses why Romney made the joke. My favorite comes from Romney advisor Kevin Madden. "The governor has always said, and has repeatedly said, he believes the president was born here in the United States," Madden said. "He was only referencing that Michigan, where he is campaigning today, is the state where he himself was born and raised."
Now, it's unquestionably true that Mitt Romney isn't a birther. He knows that President Obama was born in the United States and is fully eligible to serve as President of the United States.
But that isn't an excuse, it's an indictment.
Romney's problem, throughout this campaign, has been his inability to seal the deal with skeptical conservatives. In the primaries, this forced him to take far-right positions on issues like abortion and immigration—he endorsed personhood amendments and "self-deportation"—and in the general election, it has led him to make a huge gamble by choosing Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan—whose plan for Medicare plan and views on reproductive rights are widely unpopular—as his running mate. If Romney were confident in his ability to win the GOP base, he would have gone with someone more moderate. But as it stands, he needed a conservative ideologue on the ticket to show his fealty to the movement.
The birther joke is further evidence that Romney is uncertain of his standing with the Republican base. It's clear from the video that this was an intentional move to establish a shared tribal identity, and—judging from their laughter and obvious approval—that's how it was understood by the largely white audience.
A plausible objection to this view is that Romney wasn't trying to make a dogwhistle—that it was a harmless joke which went awry because of a bad delivery. Indeed, to push back against the emerging outrage, some journalists noted occasions when President Obama made birther jokes, while others set this as the other side of Obama's snarky comments about Romney's infamous incident with the family dog.
A few thoughts.
First, the video strongly suggests that this wasn't a joke. Romney assumes a certain demeanor when he is joking in public—"ingratiating" is the word that comes to mind—and this had more in common with the Romney of debates and speeches: cool, controlled and confident.
But even if it was a joke, it's important to understand the context. For the last month, Romney has devoted his campaign to falsely accuse Obama of gutting welfare's work requirements ("You wouldn't have to work, and wouldn't have to train for a job") This claim has been debunked by independent fact checkers, pundits, and major news organizations.
In each instance, analysts have noted the extent to which this attack is meant to play on racial fears and resentments. Romney's welfare ads are meant to conjure images of "young bucks" and "welfare queens," and are a callback to Newt Gingrich's declaration of Obama as a "food stamp president." Romney's line on welfare is a mainstay of his stump speeches, and has been deployed whenever he's addressing a crowd of working-class whites. Romney's victory depends on winning a huge share of the white vote, to do so, he's decided to play the politics of white resentment in the most explicit way possible.
If this were a stray remark, I would be willing to give Romney the benefit of the doubt. But given the background and context, I simply can't believe that Romney made a mistake with his birther joke. It fits too well with everything else he's done.
Between birtherism, the accusations of illegitimacy and the constant recourse to racialized attacks, it's hard to deny that there's something ugly lurking beneath right-wing opposition to Obama. Mitt Romney, who seeks to represent the 300 million people of this country, has decided to unleash it.

I can well understand why progressives and liberals should feel guilty and wish to make reparations to the black citizens of our nation. After all it was the democrats, both north and south, who fought like fiends to preserve and expand the "peculiar institution". Then, after filling innumerable cemeteries with dead republican heroes, they continued for another 90 years, oppressing the freed slaves and depriving them of their civil rights through state sponsored segregation and by suppression of voting rights. The famous "new deal" coalition was, after all, noting but a devils bargain between northern progressives and southern racists in which each side got what they wanted. After so many years of craven villainy who can blame the progressive forces of this country from trying to cover up their crimes by transferring some of the guilt onto others. On the other hand why should republicans let them off so easily? The republican party was founded to fight slavery and was instrumental in forcing trough the key constitutional amendments such as the 14th and the 15th and even in forcing the passage of civil rights legislation during the Eisenhower administration (despite the filibusters of LBJ's senate). Indeed, the civil rights legislation of the 60's would never have passed without overwhelming republican support. It is no accident that all the great black leaders from Fredrick Douglas to Martin Luther King Jr were republicans. Indeed, even in recent times, progressives and liberals have continued their racist tradition and their war against the constitution (witness their support for section 5 of the voting rights act and their support for affirmative action laws). In all these various battles, Republicans have stood shoulder to shoulder with the Blacks of this country when they truly needed help and republicans have paid the price in blood for doing so. We parted ways only when the the Blacks sold out the constitution and stabbed us in the back all for the sake of affirmative action and racial gerrymandering.

This election will provide the black electorate the opportunity to decide who is a bigger threat to their interests; the man would made a "birther" joke or the man that has decimated black economic prospects for the foreseeable future and is dedicated to denying school choice to those who desperately need it

Wow! What thin skin we seem to have. On the heels of yesterday's piece I'd think you'd be toning down the over the top criticism. You would do yourself & your readers a service if you would listen rather than tote the party line. Clearly in your opinion all whites & republicans are insensitive racists who want to keep the black man down. 95% of blacks vote for Obama & some how that is not racist but Romney makes 1 small wise crack & he is the devil incarnate. True discourse involves listening to things you may not like. The chip on your shoulder is wider than the Grand Canyon. Whether you like it or not it is possible for two men of different races to disagree without either one of them being a "racist". Since when are food stamps racist? I believe every race in the world is on the receiving end of them. The real tragedy is that people need them.

Hacimo--"what's racist about food stamps?"--For the answer to your question, see: Lee Atwater. And you need get your history on the GOP from some other source. Because it's wrong. And it's ignorant. Did I mention "revisionist?"
Evans11--"thin skin." Blame the GOP, itself, for the fact that Republicans can't tell a joke without stepping in it. See Lee Atwater; see also "dog whistle." The GOP, presumably you, live with his legacy. It is apparent from your post that might actually be naive enough to believe what you said.

Dean's Message
At The Bill Munday School of Business, located in Austin Texas, one of the leading hotbeds for the creative economies, we foster the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit. In concert with our Holy Cross mission, our faculty and staff provide personalized business education that informs and transforms to help improve the lives of others. Our approach to education is experiential, interdisciplinary and global.
Whether you pursue a career in creative economies, entrepreneurship, or choose a more traditional career path within a large corporation, our business education provides a global reach. Students have access to study at our 15 partner universities across Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia. We offer dual degrees with established partners, as well as study abroad experiences. In either case, learning extends well beyond the classroom, as students engage in real-time consulting projects for organizations such as 3M -China, Adobe - Czech Republic, and U.S. Steel - Slovakia. Our students interested in social entrepreneurship and social innovation have worked with organizations such as Honduras Good Works, Casa Luz in Costa Rica, and Save the Churches in France. Plus close to 400 international students study at our Austin campus each year, helping to create a highly diverse learning environment and access to a global network.
In both our undergraduate and graduate programs, students learn to think critically and creatively, act with integrity, and serve their community. Academic rigor and relevance characterize all of our programs. Our relationships with leading Austin incubators connect our students with key organizations and the Austin entrepreneur community. Our undergraduate programs provide a strong liberal arts foundation and afford opportunity for internships that strengthen classroom learning and provide career success after graduation. Our graduate programs are highly experiential. Our low-residency MBA program requires students to complete a consulting capstone project with external organizations. Students in our challenging Master of Accounting program boast a CPA pass rate in the top 20% nationally for schools our size.
Our faculty, while dedicated teachers and scholars, are also experienced professionals, many of whom are still embedded in the business community. Our faculty delights in mentoring and coaching their students to build strong relationships that lead to career opportunities.
St. Edward's University graduates are seen by the business community as creative problem solvers with an entrepreneurial mindset. They are mature, motivated and creative professionals, proactive in serving their community and seeking justice for others.
Join us as we drive our mission to the marketplace around the world!

You expect emergency responders to park wherever they can when it comes down to saving lives. You do not expect emergency responders to park on the middle of High Street in downtown Carlisle simply to grab a pizza.
Yet that's what happened Friday afternoon.
Two members of a Cumberland Goodwill EMS ambulance crew flipped on their emergency lights, parked in the middle of the street, then walked into a pizzeria where they waited to pick up an order. When asked if it's typical for ambulances to be parked in the middle of a street for a pizza run, one of the crew members said that "sometimes I do, sometimes I don't."
That attitude is disappointing.
It's also illegal. A Sentinel investigation into the incident revealed that ambulances cannot park in the middle of a street unless it's emergency-related. There are reasons why an ambulance will park in the middle of a street. It may park to force traffic to avoid an obstruction ahead. It may park to respond to a call. Ambulances cannot disregard traffic law for pizza.
To his credit, Cumberland Goodwill EMS Assistant Chief Nathan Harig dealt with the issue aggressively.
"I'm shocked to see that," he told The Sentinel. "We don't tolerate this behavior. I apologize for this profusely."
The duo were suspended without pay, he said, and are facing termination pending a hearing.
Every time an EMT parks an ambulance in the middle of a street, turns on the emergency lights and grabs a pizza, it makes it that much more difficult for those of us outside the emergency-response world to respect how they conduct themselves.
So many emergency responders risk life and limb to serve and protect us. They do jobs that require bravery and skill. But behavior like this, which at the minimum is bad form and at worst is illegal, undermines the credibility of everyone in uniform.

Apple's (AAPL) famous secrecy may have just gotten it into some legal trouble. Bloomberg (News) reports that San Jose-based U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul S. Grewal has issued a scathing ruling in a privacy suit involving the company in which he questions Apple's integrity and says that he will no longer take what the company says and face value.
At issue is Apple's alleged refusal to comply with Grewal's three-month-old order that the company turn over some sensitive documents that Bloomberg says could "reveal inner workings that the company normally goes to great lengths to hide."
The plaintiffs in the privacy suit are accusing Apple of collecting customers' location data on their iPhones even when they have their geo-location services switched off and of giving third parties access to customers' location data without their consent.
Apple has tried to withhold revealing some documents requested in the case by arguing that their release could jeopardize customer privacy. Grewal, however, still ordered Apple to produce the documents and became upset when the company allegedly took over three months to verify whether it had complied with his order.

Exterior Auto Parts and Accessories Basics
A vehicle's exterior is its first impression. While all of the time you spend driving is spent inside your car or truck, naturally, the exterior of your vehicle is what most people are going to see first, or at all. A shoddy, dilapidated and outdated exterior is going to attract people's attention alright, but not in a good way to say the least. A side view mirror that is hanging off, a rusted door handle, a ripped convertible top – neither of these scenarios gives off a flattering look. In addition to enhancing your vehicle's overall appearance, many exterior auto parts and accessories also have a functional purpose as well. Therefore, it would be wise to keep the exterior of your automobile in a good state of repair. Doing so will only make you proud to showcase your vehicle around town, but it will also maintain the overall safety and integrity of your vehicle.
There are many parts and accessories that play a role in the upkeep of your car or truck's exterior. These range from the aesthetic that are strictly for looks, to the practical and functional. For example, weatherstripping serves a functional purpose as it used to seal the inside of your vehicle and keep it protected from all of the various outside elements like rain, snow, dirt, wind and other debris. Just imagine what your vehicle might look like without it. Your car or truck's grille is a major distinguishing component of a vehicle's face and serves both a cosmetic and functional purpose. Emblems and decals are one of the easiest things that you can add to the exterior of your vehicle to improve its look and increase its style factor.
These are only a small sample of the exterior auto parts and accessories that you will find on the outside of your car or truck. Others include radio antennas, towing mirrors, door handles, body molding and trim, racks, parts for your window wiper system, trunk, hood, tailgate, bumpers, rust repair panels, and much more.
Need Replacement Exterior Auto Parts and Accessories?
If you are need of replacement or new exterior parts and accessories for your car, truck, SUV or van, then you have come to the right place! 1A Auto carries all of the parts above and more, for many makes and models, all at great prices, so you can update and care for your vehicle.
We also make shopping for new and replacement exterior parts and accessories for your car, truck, SUV or van easy at 1A Auto - we're here to help you select the right parts for your vehicle! Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about our interior parts and accessories, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online.

Hello Everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I thought I'd just let you know about the Final Fantasy VII - The Web Series project which is currently in pre-production.
I've only recently come across it myself but I think the project has some great potential.
There's a teaser trailer up on YouTube (I think it's more of a proof of concept seeing as none of the actors used for the trailer are actually going to be used during production).

Taste of Cape Town 2013: Photos and video
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
"Delicious" is too mundane a word to describe the 2013 Taste of Cape Town festival. So is "scrumptious". Because this year's event was simply DIVINE!
Now in its sixth year, Taste of Cape Town was held at the chic Green Point Cricket Club from Thursday April 11 to Sunday 14 April, 2013, with some spectacular upgrades and additions that added to its phenomenal success.
In addition to the usual foodie suspects – which included the Brasserie, Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa's Azure Restaurant, Beefcakes Burger Bar and De Grendel – the 2013 festival boasted an impressive line-up of entertainment, cooking demonstrations at the Pick n Pay Wine and Canapé Experience, and the fill-your-glass-worthy Taste Craft Beer Project, a showcase of more than 18 of South Africa's best quality craft beers on tap.
When I wasn't indulging to my heart's content in über-delicious hot chocolate and other offerings at the decadent Lindt Chocolatier stand, I was feasting my eyes on the entertainment at the Cape Town Angels Benefit Stage. My favourite act was the Rage of Fire and yes, they looked good enough to eat!
The Cape Town Angels project, a non-profit organisation that boosts other social responsibility initiatives and develops community-based projects, is one of the beneficiaries of the proceeds of the Taste of Cape Town festival.
I interviewed Barbara Loots and Charmaine van der Merwe, two of the Cape Town Angels, about the Benefit Stage, the magic of Taste and why they love Cape Town:
Here are few more yummy photos of the 2013 Taste of Cape Town:

New Bike, New Tires
By DeTurkey
from Western NE
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Continental Ultra Gatorskin Wire Bead Road Tire:
I placed these tires on my new Ultrega road bike. I ride some gravel and thought the OEM 23 mm tires to be too skinny for my 20 mi. daily route. Installation was no problem. I am running the rear tire at 85psi and front at 65 psi. Time will tell if they are as good as the Michelin Protek Max I had on my old bike (2500 mi without a flat).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Smooth and Durable
By Kenny
from Tucson, AZ
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
The 25mm tire is very smooth rolling for a durable tire. I ride in the desert southwest where pavement temps are high and cactus needles on the roadway abundent. I have put over 3,000 miles on a set of tires without a flat!
I would by this again
By Dennis
from Coon Rapids,Mn. & Weslaco, Tx.
It is the best durable tire I have ever bought, but not perfect, can't believe their isn't a more durable tire some where
I would buy this again
By Fred
from PNW
I bought Marathon Plus 28s. They were bomb proof, but weigh a ton, and I was noticably slower. I replaced them with Gatorskins 28s. I still get a smother ride, but they are much lighter - less than half the weight. I am saving the M+ tires for touring, and use these for daily rides. Going to 28s was a good thing.
By edwin_o
from San Juan, PR
This is my first time using this tires, and so far they seem great. In the month that I've had them, I've done close to 500 miles with them, with no problems whatsoever. Currently, I am using latex tubes. I've noticed a significant improvement on ride quality over my old tires and have not experienced any punctures.

Phenomenal tires!!!
By Mark the cyclist
from New York, NY
I bought these tires in April for a cross country cycling trip i went on this summer. Between training rides and the summer trip, i put over 5,000 miles on these tires, and only had one flat! I'm actually back to buy another set cause mine are just about shot, and i'm doing another trip this coming summer. These tires are amazing!
Great tires
By R&N
from Solomons, MD
We have them on our tandem. No flats yet in a flat prone riding route.

cross bike tires
By Marc
from Waverly Ohio
I rode a racing bike for years, but am getting older now, so I went for a crossbike. The 700/32 Kendas that came on the bike were awful, not even round. I switched to 700/28 Gatorskins and am very pleased. It has a much better ride and are easy to mount.
Great desert road tires
By Bob
from Arizona
Everything in the desert has a sharp point. I've gone 2000 miles without a flat.
Great tires!
By TripleD
from Pittsburgh PA
I bought these to replace the Gatorskins on my road bike. The old ones had about 3000 miles on them, flatting just one time. I consider this excellent durability as I regularly pedal some very rough roads.
