Washington, DC -
05/18/2010 - Family structure has an impact on a child's economic mobility prospects, according to the Pew Economic Policy Group's report "Family Structure and the Economic Mobility of Children." The group's Economic Mobility Project found that only 26 percent of children of divorced parents who start in the bottom third of the income ladder move to the middle or top third as adults. This compares to 42 percent of children who are born to unmarried mothers and 50 percent of children with continuously married parents in the same income category.The impact of divorce also is seen when analyzing families by race. The vast majority (85 percent) of African-American children and nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of white children born into the bottom third of the income ladder remain in the bottom third as adults if their parents divorce. Fewer children (62 percent of African-Americans and 45 percent of whites) remain in the bottom if their parents are continuously married."By separating the effects of income and family structure, this report's findings suggest that divorce is a meaningful barrier to a child's economic mobility," said John E. Morton, managing director of the Pew Economic Policy Group.Parental marital status, however, explains only some of the previously identified racial gap in economic mobility. Fifty-six percent of African-American children born to middle-income parents fall to the bottom of the income ladder as adults compared to only 30 percent of white children. This reflects a racial gap of 26 percentage points. When analyzing just middle-income African-American and white children whose parents are continuously married, this gap shrinks but remains substantial at 12 percentage points."While these findings add to our understanding of the wide racial gap in economic mobility, our report confirms that family structure is only one of a number of factors that determine a child's chances of moving up the ladder," said Thomas DeLeire of the University of Wisconsin, a co-author of the report with Leonard M. Lopoo of Syracuse University.For the complete report and more information, please visit www.economicmobility.org. The report's data and analysis were reviewed by external, independent experts.Comprised of a Principals' Group of experts from the American Enterprise Institute, the Brookings Institution, the Heritage Foundation, the New America Foundation and the Urban Institute, with guidance from an Advisory Board of leading academics and economists, Pew's Economic Mobility Project seeks to investigate the health and status of the American Dream.

TWENTY YEARS AGO, when I sat down in front of a computer for the first time, my palms were sweating and my heart was beating a mile a minute. I had the same reaction of trepidation and excitement when I sat down in front of a computer on August 10, 2004 — only this time it had a little camera attached to it and I was about to participate in my very first webcast.
Like many people, I have an uneasy relationship with technology. I can't imagine life without my computer. I am completely dependent on it for my work. Heaven forbid that I should ever have to clunk along on a typewriter (remember white-out?) or, worse, read my own handwriting on those yellow-lined notepads I used to write entire 3,000-word articles on. But I fear technology as much as I love it. Whenever I am required to do something new, even the simple task of downloading a new software, I feel anxious. I've learned that "easy" isn't necessarily so when it comes to me and technology.
The webcast linked me from my telecommuting office in Nottingham, N.H., to a session of the Lynette Owens Summer Advisory Board in Daufuskie, S.C. I saw them, they saw me, and we had a real-time conversation. Very cool. I was helped every step of the way by Rene Lacape of GlobeCube, the San Diego online communications company that provided the technology. While nothing beats face-to-face meeting time, this was a great alternative.
It was easy, but it wasn't flawless. Here's what I learned:
Today, you don't need cumbersome equipment or a big budget for a simple videoconference. The camera is small and light, clips onto your computer, and costs about $100.
The more up-to-date the operating system, the better off you are. I would have had to "load drivers" in my work computer, a MAC. (There go those sweaty palms again). Instead, I borrowed my husband's new laptop with a Windows XP Professional operating system that "recognized" the hardware.
Do a test run. Not only does it help you become familiar with the process, but it allows you to get the giggles out of the way when the camera's close-up makes you look like you're in a funhouse mirror.
Speech will make a loop and cause an echo unless you turn off the meeting room computer's microphone when the remote participant is talking, or ask all speakers to wear headphones. Because I heard an echo, I talked v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.
Meet Us at the Motivation Show
If you're attending The Motivation Show this year, mark your calendars for our booth, number 4514, at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 28. I'll be there, along with my fellow editors Betsy Bair, ICP's editorial director and editor of our weekly e-newsletter, MeetingsNet Extra; and Barbara Scofidio, editor of Corporate Meetings & Incentives. Special guest Steve Bova, the new executive director of ICPA, will also be joining us. For an added incentive, there's a nice prize for the first 50 readers to show up. Hope to see you there!

Bulls hang on after frantic finish
The Queensland Bulls have defended 173 to win an exciting KFC Twenty20 Big Bash against the New South Wales Blues by nine runs at the Gabba.
In front of a crowd of 27,653, including some 16,000 who turned up on the night, the Bulls had bowlers Ashley Noffke (2-14) and Nathan Rimmington (2-26) to thank after struggling with the bat.
Rimmington followed up his man-of-the-match display against the Tigers, when the young paceman took a hat-trick, to claim the key scalp of Phil Jaques for 29 from 28 balls.
Noffke, meanwhile, dismissed the dangerous Aaron O'Brien in the penultimate over for 38 to effectively end the Blues' fightback.
After losing Ed Cowan and Brad Haddin early, Jaques and captain Simon Katich kept the runs ticking over until Katich was caught on the rope off the bowling of James Hopes (2-49) with all-rounder Daniel Christian following the same over for two.
Then Jaques, who offered a half-chance to a sprawling Michael Buchanan on six and was almost run out on 29, was clean bowled to become the impressive Rimmington's first scalp.
O'Brien and Tim Lang both survived dropped catches to build a 42-run stand before Noffke got Lang to leave the Blues needing 35 off the final 12 balls, the visitors falling nine short despite three sixes coming off the final over.
Earlier, four wickets in four overs helped slow the home side's run rate with Lang snaring 2-32 in that spell.
But Christian did the bulk of the damage with a return of 3-38 off four overs including the vital wickets of in-form Clinton Perren and Chris Simpson for 39 runs apiece.
Christian also clean bowled stand-in captain Chris Hartley with the final ball of the innings and might have had a five-for but for two dropped catches by former Queensland off-spinner Nathan Hauritz.
Perren smacked two huge sixes as they easily passed the 50-stand before Hauritz, back in front of his former crowd, made a mess of catching a miscued slog off Christian's first over with Perren on 33.
'CP' added just six more before chipping a catch back to Christian as the right-arm quick started his second over to bring an end to a 72-run stand.
And he continued to strangle the hosts with just two runs off his third - the 18th of the innings - as well as the dismissal of Simpson who was caught by Scott Coyte on the boundary.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered samples of about 10 invitations and this was definitely not my favorite when looking online, but it sure looks good in person! I felt like the picture online looked cheesy and dull, but it is quite elegant in person. It ended up being my husband and I's favorite as well as our parents. Our colors were grey and yellow, and the invitation matched perfectly. We ordered the folded card, and the square shape and pattern inside gave it a fancy yet modern look. Also, I needed the text formatted differently and the wpd staff were friendly and great to work with. I would definitely recommend ordering a sample and you will be pleasantly surprised!"
"When I received my cards, my eyes instantly watered. They where done exactly as requested. The quality of the cards texture, color, writing, and specifications where done to my desires. This card represents every inch of what my wedding theme is to be, and I have no regrets for choosing such an amazing card. Elegant in all sense of the word. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas for fulfilling this request promptly and for making my invitations a part of my dream come true"
"Wedding Paper Diva's staff was so accomidating to help me make this invitation so personalized by helping change colors, fonts, and wording then allowing me to approve the changes multiple times before I decided. The final product blew me away. They were elegant and everything I wanted them to be. I would recommend WPD products to everyone."
"I ordered this design for my wedding invitations. The online picture did not do it justice. The color was spot on and I did not think it would be. The customer service response was excellent. I would recommend this card to my friends and family."
"Was even more spectacular in print. Fabulous rich colour, good quality paper... I wouldn't change anything about my invitations. When I called with a question the customer service was incredible. They were delivered on-time and were very well packaged and protected in the box. I was reluctant to order invitations on-line - there are NO worries with this company!! Great design, great value, great quality, great customer service."

Ash, your comment got boring after you began and ended with a grammatical error. It's a shame that you used the word(or lack there of) "dis" - I feel like my IQ just plummeted.
Moving forward, I would like to add that this whole Elena having her "switch" off is a load of bull. So now, there is going to be yet another Katherine... This doesn't sit very well with me simply because I believe that her emotions are the very reason that she has been able to keep everyone in check. With her emotions and pain subsiding - she's now going to be in a WHOLE different mind set. I really hope this pans out to where everyone will like it. :)
im hoping that Damon is hoping once he can find the cure and make her human again she will cease to be uncaring and emotionaless .i think he was concerned for her and he didnt know what else to do .as Stefan said pain becomes overwelming .hopefully in the mean time the two vamps can reign her in .who thought allowing her to go to school would be the best thing for her ! lol Defan really have their hands full .maybe Elijah will be able to control her !
This episode will definitely be interesting to watch. I think it will be exciting to see how Nina Dobrev portrays Elena's character after turning her humanity off. And after the devastating and heart breaking death of the wonderful Jeremy Gilbert, this will give Vampire Diaries fans something to look forward to, which is seeing Elena in a whole new way. I cannot contain my excitement for this episode. The Vampire Diaries is evidently epic.

Meet Mark Spitznagel, Ron Paul's L.A. hedge-fund guy
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
LE MARS, IA - DECEMBER 30: Republican presidential hopeful U.S. Rep Ron Paul (R-TX) speaks during a town hall meeting at the Le Mars Convention Center on December 30, 2011 in Le Mars, Iowa.
Ron Paul — Republican presidential candidate, GOP congressman from Texas, father of Sen. Rand Paul, libertarian, and dogged foe of the Federal Reserve — is touching down in Los Angeles on March 20 for a fundraiser. If you think Paul, with his desire to return the U.S. to the gold standard (bimetalism, actually, using gold and silver) and his tendency to subject Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to lengthy disquisitions on inflation, is a litle bit different, just wait until you get a dose of the guy who's hosting this Bel Air shindig, at the former residence of Jennifer Lopez.
He's Mark Spitznagel, a very successful hedge-fund manager whose Universa Investments is based in Santa Monica. There are hedge-fund managers and there are hedge fund managers. Spitznagel is definitely in the latter category. He plies his trade in an exotic corner of the industry, making huge bets on statistically improbable events, now colloquially known as "black swans," after the 2007 book of the that title by Nassim Taleb.

Absolutely fantastic compositions, sir.
Really, really, great stuff. I liked your website too. I see you worked for Harcourt, my son did a bunch of freelance for them as well. Keep up the good work.
Mah ' Crub
Very nice works in here! love the style.
Nice site update. I got a kick viewing the Snow White (Mercedes Benz/Saatchi & Saatchi) AD.
Its great to see all of your work in one place. Nice site man. Congrats. XD
While I do enjoy your painting style, I've noticed that all your compositions rely on the subject being centered. As for the first thing you posted, it wasn't centered, but the area that you displayed wasn't needed which also affected the dramatic effect of the scene.
I hope there's some advice in there, I'm new.
Just checked out your site and,...AWESOME!!!
Very nice! Will bookmark, and continue looking!
All the best!
dragons and horses galore nice job
I rarely login here, that's why I was surprised when I saw your comment in my Mai Shiranui practice.
And now, I'm even more pleasantly surprised to discover your artwork. It is amazing the attention to detail, your precision at face depiction...
Kudos, Tristan Elwell.
I love your work! I went to your website and I love your art style. You have a unique and classic style that I'm very fond of.
All (or most of them) are traditional art, painting not digital? This is amazing!
I LOVE the Pentagram
Wow! Awesome, incredible, amazing and crazy...
Do you think traditional paintings are easier to make than digital ones for you? At least they're difficult to modify I think. So you always finished them at a heat?
Please note that I am not an illustrator but am familiar enough with the criteria of that genre to write that you're work is, "Excellent" !!!
Personally, I am drawn to, the more, [very] obscure, risk-taking elements [breaking-the rules] but, of course, seeing beautiful-"Drawing" is always wonderful.
Even though ,It's been already written & noted, on your talent, draftsmanship, & feeling for your equine subjects; I must reiterate that sentiment. I'm serious! You, Really Do KNOW- These Animals & your work, so portrays & shines in this particular strength. Your "Horses", seem to almost, want to "break-free" from their picture plane; esp. the steed [flying] out from the flames-Wow!, that particular piece invoked, the theme of The Mythical bird, "The Phoenix, only, it was, A Horse & not a Bird... *grins*-duhhhh,:}*lol!
In an odd way, it was my personal feeling that the human characters, [The Riders] seemed to, almost "anchor" these enchanted steeds-back down, onto picture plan.
A Thought:
A close friend of mine, makes, $ome excellent ca$h as she focuses in, on painting-Horses, Exclusively. There seems to be, a thriving & healthy market for that specialization, [esp. down in the Southern region of The USA & CA]. This is where all the serious, "Top Drawer" Breeders & Horse Folks maintain [winter] "Stables" for their Racing or Show Animals. She would kill me, but your "Horses" are, much better than hers... &, better for you, you can even do- [People] The Owners/Riders, ect , she could, not "do people"-[ she didn't like them very much, lol!] I don't know if you've ever "Marketed your Talents in that specific arena[no pun intended:}-but, if you ever did; I think your efforts would be extremely, well financially rewarded
Beautiful paintings!
I really like how your brushstrokes leaving beautiful textures on your paintings.

|A New Leader in Bio4Energy
|Written by Anna Strom
|Monday, 08 October 2012 17:52
As of this month, Bio4Energy has a new leader. Marianne Sommarin,
deputy vice chancellor of Umeå University, in northern Sweden, will be taking over the chairmanship of the B4E Board when its reunites 25 October.
Today she went to meet 40 B4E researchers gathered at a biannual
Bio4Energy Researchers' Meeting, given at Skellefteå, Sweden.
Sommarin, who is also a professor of plant biochemistry, and a part of the Umeå University management group, is the second person to hold the chairmanship of the B4E Board. She succeeds Ulf Edlund, an Umeå University professor of organic chemistry who retired this year. Edlund headed up the Board from the start of the Bio4Energy strategic research environment in 2010, until its latest meeting in May 2012.
In addition to the Board's core task to oversee and to direct B4E budgetary allocations, Sommarin will take over a shared responsibility for updating and extending the programme's research and development (R&D) strategy, one leg of which will cover the last couple of years of the first five-year funding period granted B4E by the Swedish government.
Secondly, R&D plans for a five-to-ten-year period beyond 2014 will be outlined, for the purpose of signalling to political decision-makers and further stakeholders that B4E stands ready to continue delivering state-of-the-art research in the areas of biorefinery and bioenergy, as well as consolidating and extending the research environment nationally and internationally.
The two strands should make up B4E's "strategic plan" from next year until 2020 or 2025. A senior consultant who specialises in leading groups in devising business strategies or plans, with close ties to the B4E strategic partner the Processum Biorefinery Initiative, has been called in to shepherd the process. The "strategy and business management" consultant Peter Blomqvist of AB Anderblom Handel visited Umeå and the B4E executive management which held a preparatory meeting earlier this month.

Field Report: AdsWizz Audio Advertiser and Liquid Compass
In April 2011, our ad replacement company up and shut down without so much as a week's notice, leaving us high and dry to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible. We stream our four Central Minnesota radio stations with Liquid Compass, who called me right away with two options. One of them was AdsWizz, a third-party company Liquid Compass was closely integrating with its streaming network.
We were one of the first station groups in the Liquid Compass network to be integrated with AdsWizz, and the transition was seamless. Liquid Compass took care of importing and re-scheduling all our campaigns, banners and video pre-rolls from our previous system into AdsWizz Audio Advertiser.
Learning to use the system was easy for me since I'm familiar with the OpenX Ad Delivery platform. My own experience aside, for a newcomer looking in, it can be pretty daunting to understand the terminology and workflow. That said, give it a couple weeks and you'll be a master.
The workflow
AdsWizz runs on what I could call a hierarchy workflow. It starts with an advertiser. Inside each advertiser, campaigns are scheduled. Inside each campaign, ads are uploaded. Inside each ad, zones for delivery are scheduled. From the top down, it looks like this:
Advertiser → Campaign → Ads → Zones
You can have as many campaigns running as you'd like from a single advertiser, and each of those campaigns can have its own set of flight dates. Each campaign can have as many ads in it and each ad inside that campaign can be scheduled and targeted accordingly.
As far as ads go, we use three types: audio, video and display.
> Audio ads are delivered to our listeners whenever the radio station takes a break on-air. When that happens, the stream cuts away and plays a different set of commercials delivered by AdsWizz.
> Video ads are scheduled as a pre-roll (15 to 20 seconds each) and are played before the Web stream starts.
> Display ads are linked to audio ads. When the audio ad plays during a commercial break, the corresponding display ad is shown in the stream player to allow the listener to click on the banner to follow some sort of call to action from the audio. This linking process is determined by a simple check box set at the campaign level called Companion Positioning. Once checked, the system will automatically pair any display ads with the audio ads scheduled in the same campaign.
Targeting and scheduling
AdsWizz is one of the most advanced systems that I have used over the years in terms of its ability to target and schedule media to various sources. Like I mentioned earlier, each campaign can have as many ads inside it as you'd like. Each ad can be individually scheduled or targeted, or you can have every ad follow the schedule set at the campaign level, which trickles down to each ad unless overwritten.
|Performance at a glance
|◊ Targets listeners by device, geography and other data
◊ Delivers different ads to different zones
◊ Integrates with Liquid Compass streaming
◊ Streams to any device
◊Three types of ads: audio, video and display
Ads can be delivered to any number of stations (zones). I can theoretically have a campaign with a unique spot for each radio station inside of it. As for targeting, each ad can individually be delivered based on date, time, day of week, etc. This is pretty basic scheduling and day-parting functionality.

Though the assistant chief said the pole was "snapped in two," the wreck did not cause a power outage.
Sensenbach said two people were in the van, but neither required medical treatment.

New Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor Map Detailedby Chris Faylor, May 26, 2009 3:04pm PDT
Last week, developer Relic began talking about a new Company of Heroes (PC) patch, which would "fix some key bugs" and add a new multiplayer map for those with the Tales of Valor expansion. Now, screenshots and details of that new map have arrived.
Titled Hebecrevon, the six-player Panzerkrieg arena offers tank-based warfare in a "more wide open" setting than the existing Panzerkrieg map, Industry. Balance changes for the mode will accompany the map, such as reduced effectiveness of sticky bombs.
While Relic's community site provided a wealth of information on the map, even noting that it's "derivative of mission eleven of the original Invasion of Normandy campaign," there's still no word as to when patch 2.600 will deliver its various tweaks.

Parents, students and community members expressed frustration and disappointment during an evening meeting Wednesday, Nov. 7, at Hemet High School to discuss a crash in front of the school in May that seriously injured eight students in a crosswalk.
The Riverside County district attorney's office announced last month that no charges would be filed against the driver of the pickup truck, Daniel Carrillo, who at the time was a junior at the school.
The Wednesday meeting in the Hemet High Community Theater was just a short distance from the crosswalk where the accident occurred. The gathering included CHP Capt. Gregory Peck, commander of the San Gorgonio office, two other CHP officers, and Deputy District Attorney David Tahan.
About 40 people were in the audience, including staff from the school.
The California Highway Patrol office in Banning initially reported the truck was going 50 mph in a 25 mph zone, weaving in and out of traffic, and ran a red light. Carrillo said his brakes failed.
The CHP said then that despite Carrillo's claim, it expected criminal charges to be filed.
But the investigation by a Multidisciplinary Accident Team concluded the initial reports were off — the truck was doing 32 to 36 mph, not accelerating, and the tire calibration made the speedometer register 7 mph less than it was actually traveling.
It also concluded that brake failure was the primary cause of the crash and that it was highly likely there was transmission fluid in the brake's master cylinder. The truck stopped after Carrillo ran the tires along the curb of Stetson Avenue.
Carrillo will face infractions for having poorly maintained brakes that caused an accident, but Tahan said there was nothing in the investigation such as evidence of willfulness by Carrillo. He stopped talking to law enforcement at some time during the investigation.
That brought frustration from Jamie Dover, 51, of Hemet, who was there with her husband Jeff Dover, 57. Their son Melvin Smith, 15, was one of those struck.
"I know you are saying you don't have enough evidence, but to me it sounds like you are finding more reasons not to do it than finding reasons to do it," she said. Dover said she was not angry at Carrillo, but "I'm angry at his actions."
Peck told her, "The evidence is not there to file charges."
Tahan added, "It would be unethical for me to charge him in that case. … That's not justice, that's just a lynch mob mentality."
The remark drew applause from a small group that later identified themselves as members of Carrillo's family, who said outside they were satisfied that details of the case had been laid out.

Stepping back in time
At the height of his power in 1421, Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty moved his capital from Nanjing to Beijing and invited foreign dignitaries to revel in the glory of his newly constructed 'Forbidden City'. A true wonder, the Forbidden City was 1500 times the size of walled London, and housed 50 times London's population.
In order to construct the City, a vast canal of 1800 kilometres was built to carry supplies needed to feed and house over 3 million workers and 1 million soldiers. So huge was the demand for food that famine broke out in the outer provinces. The large quantities of timber used caused deforestation and flooding in China and its neighbouring countries.
To avoid the devastating consequences of social unrest, China embarked on a period of expansion – marked not by conflict and colonization as was the European custom, but by trade, influence and, if required, bribery.
We can draw many insights from this period: the endurance of Chinese culture, its sheer scale and the consequences for the rest of the globe, which is, to some degree, influenced by Chinese economic cycles.
History repeats itself
Fast-forward a few 100 years. Today the Central Party views economic development as the yardstick of performance and the key to social stability. The Chinese single-minded pursuit of economic growth has resulted in an average annual economic growth rate of over 10% since 1980 and has lifted approximately 500 million of its citizens out of poverty. The last 30 years have been characterized by enormous capital spend, urbanization and growth in exports where China focused on quantity of production and positioned itself as the "workshop of the world".
Initial responses to the crisis – a delicate balance
The 2008 economic crisis was devastating as America, Europe and Japan entered recession, freezing and reversing growth in exports. The Chinese authorities responded with unprecedented levels of economic stimulus, injecting 4 trillion yuan (USD630 billion) into its economy through a bank-lending program. The economy responded, moving to 9% growth in 2009, 10% in 2010 and 9.2% in 2011. The downside of easy money was, not surprisingly, speculative property inflation and consumer price inflation.
To avoid a destabilizing inflationary outburst, the People's Bank of China tightened policy aggressively, raising interest rates and lifting bank reserve requirements. Restrictions were placed on multiple property purchases, demanding down payments from buyers and a cap on lending to developers. These restrictions remain in place. With the major engines of global economic growth knocked-out or idling for the foreseeable future, the question of a "hard landing" for the Chinese economy was and still is a possibility with chilling consequences for the global economy.
The key concerns for Chinese policymakers revolve around inflation and speculation. It is very likely that Chinese authorities will respond aggressively to any economic slump which would raise the spectre of social unrest. With inflation starting to slowly recede (moving to a level of 5.5% in October), the Central Bank has started easing restrictions, cutting reserve requirements at the start of December 2011.

I wore this for a halloween party, and trick-or-treating about two years ago and i loved it! I also wore it to a school halloween dance and when i danced, it ripped:( but that totally could've been my fault.

C.P.E. Bach and his Dramatic Predecessors
John Hsu, guest conductor
Stephanie Vial, cello soloist
Corelli Christmas Concerto, Handel Concerto Grosso, Vivaldi Cello Concerto
Symphonies by Caldara, and W.F. and C.P.E. Bach
At the University of North Carolina's Hill Hall on Thursday, February 6, 2014, the Vivaldi Project gave a thrilling reading of six 17th- and 18th-century works in a concert entitled "C.P.E. Bach and His Dramatic Predecessors" as part of the Mallarmé Chamber Players' HIP Festival. . . . From the very opening of the Corelli Concerto Grosso in G Minor, Op.6, No. 8, the orchestra animated their gut strings and engaged and communicated with each other, anticipating the sundry tempo shifts with eye contact. In music that changes speed and mood more frequently than a Meat Loaf song, such communication is vital, and these musicians did so brilliantly. There were many fine musical moments at this concert; suspensions never sound as tangible as when they are played with baroque bows, and the slight ritardando before each final cadence was perfectly placed.

Young Persephone lives a sheltered life. Her mother, Demeter, was disappointed by Persephoneĺs father. Since then, she has raised Persephone alone, and she discourages other men from approaching or interacting with Persephone. When Persephoneĺs closest friends become engaged to other men, she feels lonely and longs for her life to be different.
Being kidnapped by Hades wasnĺt what Persephone had in mind for that different life. Soon after he first sees Persephone, Hades decides to bring her to his world and make her his wife. Despite her growing dissatisfaction with her previous life, Persephone refuses to submit to Hadesĺs wishes. In addition, Demeter wants her daughter back.
Fields incorporates familiar elements of the myth into Love UndergroundŚthe bad weather that follows Persephoneĺs abduction, for example Ś while making the story unique. Persephone is a more active participant in Fieldsĺs version; she comes to recognize the power she holds over Hades because of his attraction to her and desire to please her.
The vividness of the underworld is fascinating. It is a far different world from the one Persephone is accustomed to, and Fields addresses interesting issues relating to the differences, such as how Persephone would cope with the lack of sunlight.
In spite of the intriguing setting, the romance in this story isnĺt completely satisfying. Hades first admires Persephone because of her beauty and her lively nature. Aside from these qualities, itĺs unclear why he loves her. As someone who is familiar with the myth on which the story is based, I knew that these two would end up together. But the author seems to rely on the myth to explain the connection instead of showing why the two love each other.
As for Hades, he starts as a mysterious character, and readers learn more about him as the story progresses. While his kidnapping of Persephone isnĺt the act of a gentle man, his subsequent actions show him to be both gentle and patient. Although lonely, heĺs compassionate and devoted to those he cares about. In the end, Persephone is the more inscrutable of the two.
I ultimately enjoyed many aspects of Love Underground. Readers who read it looking for a compelling retelling of the myth are likely to enjoy it, too.

What a joke! Elvis at No 10 !! Elvis started it all, if not for Elvis, no one would ever heard of the Beatles.....Originally Posted by Lindnet
Has anyone seen this yet? I'm in shock!
The Beatles were singled out on Friday as the most influential entertainers of the past 100 years, beating out the likes of Elvis Presley, Charlie Chaplin and Mickey Mouse, according to a survey conducted by show business newspaper Variety.
Behind the Fab Four's first-place finish, were in alphabetical order: jazz pioneer Louis Armstrong, television comedienne Lucille Ball, movie legends Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, Charlie Chaplin, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, cartoon hero Mickey Mouse and singers Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.
Variety said the Beatles were named "Icons of the Century" because they were the entertainment personalities who made the biggest impact on the industry and the world in the past 100 years.
Before Elvis, there was nothing....
What a joke! Elvis at No 10 !! Elvis started it all, if not for Elvis, no one would ever heard of the Beatles.....Originally Posted by Lindnet
Yes, what a JOKE! Like you stated if it wasn't for Elvis there would be no Rock & Roll period! Who wrote that article, not too smart whoever they are. How could they figure that! No Elvis no music, haven't they ever heard about "The Day The Music Died"
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
Well, i believe when they say THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED, they mean the death of Buddy Holly (the line was also in Don Mcleans?American Pie). Anyway, i find it always hard to see that the Beatles are higher than Elvis on ANY chart. In my opinion the?re just overrated. But,ofcourse, that?s just personalOriginally Posted by Tommy
It's actually quite funny!
Elvis is the 10th Iconic celebrity figure? LOL
Variety need a head check!
The Sun Never Sets On A Legend...
The thing about these entertainment polls is that people's choices and the results appear to change from month to month and season to season...you ask a different number of people about this 'entertainment' category in a few months time and perhaps EP will be up to number 5 or even number 1.
Nevertheless, these have got to be some of the most 'blinkered' results in this type of poll since John Lennon was voted something like the 'most influential rock 'n' roll figure' over Elvis - LOL...LOL...LOL...aahh, the voting public eye of the minority asked eh?...what can we say?
I don't mean to take anything away from 'The Beatles', it is without doubt that they were the most exciting phenomenon to burst upon the sixties scene and hold their influence over many bands and songwriters to follow - they are without any doubt the most influential rock 'n' roll band in musical history. Thus, it gives them their 'Iconic' status. But, unfortunately they are certainly not all-round entertainers and they appear to have topped a category that they didn't really specialise in.
"I oughta break you in half!"...
"If you do, you'll have two very short friends!"
Elvis makes 40 million a year dead, the top earning dead icon, but ranks 10th.
It never ceases to amaze me!(to quote the true number one icon)
IMO, most of the general public like(love ) elvis, these polls have probably been taken by the music press or some other TRENDY PUBLICATION,these people seem to think that liking the king is UNCOOL.these COOL people would have you think that if elvis had died in 1958,he would be forever young and then ,in there minds be COOL,these people are unfortunate,in the fact they have never experienced the kings diverse repertoire of songs
Well the people who run these things are from the Beatles generation most likely. Our local oldies stations program director readilly admitted to me in an e-mail that he was a huge Beatle fan. He has consistently programed about 10 different Beatle songs a day. Every day at 4 they have the Fab 4 at 4 a 4 song block. WHen I requested more Elvis I told him Elvis was the 2nd biggest record seller of the 60s and the biggest of the 50s (according to Billboard)and desreved more than a play here and there. He told me Elvis was not "relevant"to the audience they were shooting for. I told him I was part of that audience and knew others who wanted more Elvis also. He replied our demographics show he is not considered relevant. you can bet his preference for the Beatles has something to do with his programming goals.
Good for you asking for more Elvis!!
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
i saw this article in my local newpaper, and i spilt my drink on it. i can't believe this!
sincerely, Scott, a 15 year old Elvis fan
prayers to Jackie my auntie in law, and R.I.P Charlie Hodge, both victims of cancer
Elvis has been named "(The greatest) Icon of the Century" many, MANY, many times. That title belongs to him and nobody else is gonna take it, not even because of this one poll. I guess (know?) Elvis have done so much for music that any other artist. He is important for people... And the fact that Graceland is the 2nd most visited place in EU, after The White House, shows what I mean.
Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.
"You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream...
Mother nature's sure been good to Y-O-U"
YES guys and gals NUMBER ONE! Thank you all for posting such great words about Elvis.
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
Pop quiz, hotshot...
Who said this...?
"Before Elvis, there was nothing."
Case closed.

1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad

Engine no. FI0224
265ci OHV 205hp Turbo Fire V8, the 'Hot One'
Three-speed Powerglide automatic
Well-optioned example
The most stylish practical car ever built
Chevrolet continued on a roll in 1956, merely altering the trim and external details on the successful '55s and brightening up the package to appear more eager. The grilles were extended to full-width, containing sidelights, the side trim was extended to the headlights and including a two-tone color spear and the taillights were enlarged, with the left concealing the gas filler. Chevrolet sold 1,574,740 cars and trucks in 1956, down slightly from 1,713,478 the previous year.
As in 1955, the Nomad Sport Wagon remained Chevrolet's most expensive car, excluding the Corvette, selling for $2,707. However only 7,886 found new homes, against 113,656 210 4-door wagons. Times have certainly changed.
This Matador Red and Dune Beige, with matching red vinyl contrasted with beige cloth inside, Nomad was assembled in GM's Oakland, California plant early in the production run. The practical sibling to the preceding lot, the purchaser must not have been one to skimp on options because, in addition to the standard comfort items like power brakes and steer as well as A/C, the push-button radio option box was ticked as was the box for the Turbo Fire 265ci V8the revered 'Hot One' motor. This 4-barrel, 205-horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque mill provided a healthy bump in go-juice from the standard 170 pony V8. Running power through an optional 2-speed Powerglide automatic and exhaling by way of dual exhausts, it made the sporty Nomad move like an angry bull when coercedwith swiftness and a dose of aggression.
Like all Nomads, the level of detail is astounding. From the stylized Chevy-bird flying atop the hood to the chrome ribs on the lift gate, it was clear that no stone was left unturned in the pursuit of style and design.
While the early history of this car has retreated to mystery, it previously resided in a well known private Midwestern museum from 2006 until it joined the Oldenburg Family Collection in early 2011. Carrying all the grace, style, and pace that it had when it left Oakland in '56, this Corvette with a backpack is ready to roll on to its next owner. Consider it the most stylish thing you can reasonably take to Home Depot to haul lumber.

Orlando police: Man threatens to 'chop off head' of teen over noise complaint
Man charged with aggravated assault after making threats with machete
Orlando police have arrested a man who they say threatened to chop off a 16-year-old's head with a machete for making a noise complaint against him on Tuesday night.
Miguel Baez, 63, is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he threatened the teen.
Police said the victim approached Baez's room at a hotel after hearing loud noises and asked Baez to keep the noise level down in his room.
Baez then took a machete and told the victim if he "knocked on the door again, I'm going to cut your head off,"according to the report.
Police searched Baez's room just before 10:30 p.m. Thursday and found the machete and 22.5 grams of marijuana, resulting in him being charged with drug possession, according to the report.
