The message war in the presidential election got underway in earnest last week, with the Obama campaign releasing a new attack ad and super PACs on both sides announcing their own big buys. If you believe some prominent voices in the political press, the stakes in these exchanges are already extremely high—especially for Mitt Romney, the likely GOP standard-bearer.
Many reporters and commentators have suggested that Obama could "define Romney" in the minds of the public—or at least, that he's trying to do so—and thus establish an image now that would prevent Romney from winning in November. Evidence for the idea that we're now in a crucial part of the campaign, however, is generally lacking.
Perhaps the most extensive version of the claim was advanced by Richard W. Stevenson of The New York Times, who wrote last week that "the months between the end of the primary season and…the conventions are an especially perilous period for candidates in Mr. Romney's position," since they are then "most susceptible to being defined on terms other than their own."
Stevenson's framing reflects the thinking among political operatives who were interviewed by the Times's Jeremy W. Peters, who described "a belief among political strategists on both sides that they have a small window of time to frame the election" before summer reruns and the Olympics. For instance, Democratic strategist Carter Eskew told Peters that, "The first ads that are run are in many ways the most important because the mind is the most open and uncluttered at that point."
In reality, however, most Americans' minds aren't "open and uncluttered" about Romney; nearly all have already formed an opinion about the presumptive Republican nominee. The latest Gallup poll finds that 91% of Americans already have an opinion of him. And despite the dangers to his image that Stevenson cites, Gallup found that Romney's favorable numbers are predictably improving as Republicans and GOP-leaning independents return to the fold (though these improvements have not yet shown up in other polls).
As a result of these pre-existing views and the passage of time, most of the messages that voters are receiving now about Romney will wash out over time. Research by the political scientists Christopher Wlezien and Robert Erikson on trial heat polls (gated) finds that pre-convention "news about the campaign affects voters but is eventually forgotten and thus has little impact on the final outcome." (Peters's story, to its credit, acknowledged up high "concerns that [early advertising] money will be wasted.") And even if those messages do have a lasting effect on perceptions of Romney, the political scientist Larry Bartels has found that presidential "candidates' images are largely epiphenomenal and have only a modest impact on election outcomes" (gated)—i.e., their images are more a consequence than a cause of how the candidates are faring.
It's true, of course, that you can select unsuccessful candidates after the fact and claim that their image ratings were the reason that they lost. Stevenson cites Michael Dukakis, Bob Dole, and John Kerry as out-party candidates who "failed to establish strong positive images during this period and allowed their opponents to brand them in ways they never overcame." However, these are all retrospective judgments. At this point in the 1988 campaign, the media focus was on George H.W. Bush's perceived struggles to define himself. Moreover, all three candidates that Stevenson cites lost in economic circumstances that would lead us to expect the incumbent party to hold the White House. The state of the economy—and the extent to which Obama is blamed for it—is still most likely to determine Romney's fate. As Roll Call's Stuart Rothenberg points out, "when November rolls around, the question of who Romney is might not be nearly as important to voters as how well Obama has done." In short, it matters far more how Obama is defined than Romney, whose image is likely to matter only on the margin.

Civil conflict and the memories it leaves behind
African-Scottish writer Aminatta Forna is known for works that chronicle societies' descent into violence and the consequences that individuals must live with in the aftermath. She will read from her new novel "The Hired Man" at UCLA on October 15th.
Published: Tuesday, October 01, 2013
International Institute, October 1, 2013 — The life and sensibility of award-winning writer Aminatta Forna bridges two continents (Europe and Africa), two countries (United Kingdom and Sierra Leone), two races and multiple careers: lawyer, journalist, documentary filmmaker, writer and professor.
The author of a memoir and three novels that have won an array of literary prizes, Forna's works examine how societies implode into civil violence. They have been translated into 15 languages.
Forna also writes essays, articles and short stories, as well as for film, television and radio. In fact, she is one of the screenwriters for the new film "Girl Rising," which chronicles the impact of education on disadvantaged girls in the developing world (see below).
Her first book, "The Devil that Danced on the Water" (2002), is a memoir that investigates how her physician-politician father was framed, imprisoned and eventually hung for treason in Sierra Leone (in 1975), when Forna was 11 years old.
The memoir was a runner-up for the U.K. Samuel Johnson Prize and was serialized on both BBC Radio and in "The Sunday Times." The book was highly popular in Sierra Leone and sparked a national dialogue about the war.
In a 2012 interview with The Sunday Times of Sri Lanka, Forna noted, "I don't think of my childhood as traumatic really. I think that my childhood had painful experiences — there was loss, there was pain, there was grief but I'm rather of the view that what happened to me was not unusual in the world that I came from."
From memoir to fiction
Forna's first two novels, "Ancestor Stones" (2006) and "The Memory of Love" (2010) offer different perspectives on the civil war in Sierra Leone. The first novel describes 80 years in the lives of four sisters in a fictional African country whose experience echoes that of contemporary Sierra Leone. The book won the Hurston Wright Legacy Award for Debut Fiction and Germany's Liberaturpreis, among other commendations.
"The Memory of Love" takes place in Sierra Leone proper and centers on characters who have survived the civil war and the foreign psychologist with whom they interact. The book won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize Best Book Award for 2011 and was a runner-up for the Orange Prize. Both "The Sunday Telegraph" and "The Financial Times" selected the novel as one of the best books of the year.
Forna's third novel, "The Hired Man," takes a leap to the Balkans. Published earlier this year in the United Kingdom (and on October 1 in the United States), it tells the story of the relationship between a British family who has purchased a vacation house in Croatia and the local man they engage to help them do repairs and renovation.
As the novel progresses, the truth emerges about what happened in the town during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, revealing a picture of how people learn to live with their pasts — and with one another — after civil conflict.
In an interview with The Telegraph earlier this year, Forna remarked, "The British usually think of war as something fought 'over there.' For the Yugoslavians and Sierra Leoneans it was 'over here,' and both were about betrayal."
In a recent email exchange, she commented on whether Western and non-Western readers react differently to her work. "The split is not between Western and non-Western readers," she says, "It is between those with an experience or understanding of conflict, in particular, civil conflict. Hence, readers in Spain and Sri Lanka alike have a much deeper recognition of the world I have created than, say, British readers.
"I find a tendency to create a false dichotomy between the West and the majority of the world. Spain was a dictatorship until 1975 and the effects of the Spanish Civil War are still being played out. Portugal had a coup in 1974," she adds.
Cosmopolitan perspective rooted in specific experience
The daughter of a Sierra Leonean father and a Scottish mother, Forna was raised between the United Kingdom and Sierra Leone, but also spent time as a child in Thailand, Zambia and Iran thanks to two stepfathers who were both diplomats.
Educated in British boarding schools, she graduated from the University College of London with a degree in law. Rather than practice law, however, she worked as a journalist at the BBC for 10 years before turning to writing full-time.
Although she resides in London, Forna regularly spends time in Sierra Leone, where she runs the Rogbonko Project, a charitable organization that engages in educational, healthcare and sanitation initiatives in the town that her grandfather founded.
She also travels frequently to literary festivals around the world, including in Sri Lanka, Colombia, India and Kenya. "I was at the festival now known as the Hay Storymoja Festival [in Kenya] a few years ago," she says.
"Tragically," she comments, "the festival this year was partly cancelled because of the shootings and hostage taking in Westgate Mall in Nairobi. One of the continent's leading poets who was attending the festival was killed there, Ghana's Kofi Awoonor. [We] writers are pretty shocked by that right now."
At the Galle Writers Festival in Sri Lanka in 2012, she says, "I gave three talks to audiences of 300–600 people. Although we were ostensibly talking about the civil war in Sierra Leone, in reality we were talking about the Sri Lankan civil war. People wanted to share their experience and hear mine."
Forna doesn't just speak at literary festivals, she also teaches. "When I was in Nairobi for the festival... I took the time to teach a weeklong workshop. It was wonderful opportunity to meet young people and help them hone their skills," she narrates. "They have so many wonderful stories to tell. With a little input and guidance, their growth as writers in the course of a week was exponential."
Teaching is now a big part of her life. A professor of creative writing at Bath Spa University in the United Kingdom, Forna is currently teaching African literature at Williams College in Massachusetts, where she is Sterling Brown Distinguished Visiting Professor.
Asked if it is difficult to convey the importance of history to American students, she responds, "I would say Britain wears its past very heavily (and somewhat selectively). That's a great deal to do with the sense that the country's best years are behind it. In the U.S. there is a sense that this is a country at the height of its political, cultural and economic power, and so the past seems less important.
"Here," she continues, "the present and the future seem more important than the past. Very few young people in either country have a strong sense of international history, which I expect has to do with the school curricula. In my African literature course at Williams College, when I teach a literary work, I also teach the history of the country it comes from in order to give the story context."
Ms. Forna's appearance at UCLA on October will be cosponsored by UCLA's Mellon Postdoctoral Program in Humanities, Center for European and Eurasian Studies and the African Studies Center.
"Girl Rising" will be screened at UCLA on Wednesday, October 30, at 7:30 pm at the James Bridges Theater in Melntiz Hall; no reservations are needed. Made as part of a global action campaign for girls' education, the film showcases how education has transformed the lives of nine young girls born into unforgiving circumstances. It is narrated by a roster of famous actresses.

Yes you've got SEO Skillz… Don't let it go to your head.
Hey it's Friday!… Just keeping it real.
Why does a hummingbird Hum?
Answer: Because it doesn't know the words! Dumb bird.
The humming bird is set to make the search faster. Along with other updates google is 100% happy. And why not, it's their birthday. So blow out the lights and make a wish.
Related Posts:
I updated my Google+ App on my iPhone and found this..
I have never know google to not use information they collect to better their search results. I foresee Google+ checkins becoming a major part of Google's Local Search algorithm. The Google+ Check In will add the user data that google is craving to make search results relevant to users. Google places has come a long way. At one time Google scrapped the internet trying to create it's local directory. They abused Yelp trying to add in reviews. They indexed foursquare to make sure the results were relevant. Now they have their own system to do all this themselves. From reviews to location data, Google+ answers the local directory call.
Can Google+ capture the foodies? As for the foodies, I am not sure, but I do believe Google has the means and drive to eventually beat down Yelp and Foursquare. While Yelp will have a long life and will still hold on to much of it's elite foodie following, the annoyance and frustration from both businesses and the non-elite users will erode Yelp's base. But what do I know.. I am just a pest control guy.
What is SEO? SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION.
How often does it die?
Who wants SEO to die? Google. Why? If we stop grabbing the free candy then maybe we will buy the search ads.
I have the solution. Trust me on this… I kill things for a living. I can help kill SEO. The problem is that most don't understand the solution… If they want SEO to die then we need to kill the Search Engine.
Search Engine Optimization… So long as there is a search engine that ranks websites based on an algorithm then there will be those that optimize their sites to meet or beat the algorithm and rank their websites in search results.
You play too dirty… You play too clean… You play too much?
Moderation in all things is a great motto, but when you set out to build a boat you want it to float. Is there such a thing as building a boat too well? So google wants relevant content to win. They make measurements. People figure out these measurements. SEO's adjust. The problem here with over optimization is that what Google has deemed okay in the past could now potentially be over optimized??? Is it really going to help to be "under optimized"?
So many business owners are just now coming to realize that ranking in the search engine's isn't a fluke. As these new business owners catch on and get a clue they will begin where so many have begun in the past, and now those tactics may hurt you?
I have long believed that Google would penalize any site with a perfect score. As the algorithm is secret, in order to score a perfect score the site owner would have to be cheating. There comes a point when people just need to stop focusing on what google is doing to tweak their algo. It's a market of ups and downs. You invest one week in links to find their value gone the next. And then the value picks back up. You are playing a market. If you like the game play it. I believe your best bet is play by the rules that google sets and by the spirit of their law. They are pretty honest in what they tell you they want. Really the whole mess of things is pretty gray. Sadly, if Google judgement day hits, they are most likely going to quietly rule and behead you and the judge and jury remain behind hidden doors.
I have received a new spam letter from Paul Schmitt with Article Stars. "Below are the two best SEO WordPress Plugins out there for your SEO needs." … and something about targeted keywords, and Google auto pilot plug-in. And very sneaky… using the "Schmitt" name to get that mental name association with google. FYI, Mr. Schmitt, you are messing with the pest control guy… and you sir bug me.
Grandma always says… "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is."
Make it a great weekend!
You know perhaps I have too much time on my hands and that is why I am actually reading these emails… Here is the pest report of the day.

Twelve minutes? Well Kathy Lanten from Best Rank SEO, your 12 minutes is up, since you spammed this SEO crap to several of my websites. And LIES! ALL LIES!… As if you would only take 12 minutes of my time if you had me on the phone. Perhaps I am just that rude, to give you 12 minutes and hang up when you hit the 12 minute mark.
Consider this, if your SEO is anything like your email then you will be wasting my time.

Before the students attend an opera, ballet or symphony, she teaches them the story and the music. As you might guess, this is not easy with high school kids since most have never been exposed to anything like these visual and auditory productions.
Because of Millie's teaching skills, passion and ability to motivate, the students are enthused about the performances they attend. Who knows what these experiences will spark in their lives?
Millie says she had no background in many of these classical genres, but once she accepted the job, she diligently worked to learn everything about each of the programs. This shows her drive to acquire knowledge and prepare herself ahead of time. Her approach to being a city council member will always be to learn first and then act on that knowledge.
Jerry and I feel Millie Harris will be an excellent, well-prepared Anniston City Council member for Ward 4.

I live in the Pacific Northwest where I cultivate colors in my garden for the 10 month growing season, or during more inclement weather, I weave colors with beads, yarn, paint, or quantum dot nano-education activities. I don't sit still well, so Informal Science Education suits my curiosity and desire to communicate about the wonders of the world with eager minds.
For the last fifteen years I have done this at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) through jobs including R & D, publications, directing museum & teacher programs, and currently leading exhibit and program research and development. My favorite projects have included Latinas en Ciencia--a gender equity project, STARS (Science Technology and Rural Students)--a collaboration with rural libraries and communities, development of public laboratories (like OMSI's walk-in wet chemistry lab), and curriculum development, including a placed-based program called Expedition Northwest. PI experience includes NIH/SEPA, NSF, NASA, IMLS, and corporate grants. Prior experience includes higher ed faculty, founding a public math/science/technology K-8 school, and international development. BS/MS/PhD in Microbiology and Nutrition with a Biochemistry emphasis.

I suppose if you need to increase your mass weight in a hurry, without buying new arrows this system would accomplish that. But if you want to stay w/in proper FOC percentages, and consider proper dynamic spine in your tuned arrows, these tubes mess with all that. I don't understand how this item ended up in a traditional catalog, This item may work well for compound arrows. I think if you are serious about your arrow tunning and want a heavier arrow, get shafts at the proper weight and spine.

Comments about 3Rivers Arrow Weight Tubes:
Loaded up my High Plains Carbon Arrows with the 8 GPI weight tubes and the PENETRATION was awesome. My arrow weight is almost 800 grains and these things are hitting SO HARD out of my 70 and 80 lb longbows. Awesome product to increase the weight of carbon arrows.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was looking for more kinetic energy but not to change the spine of my arrows. This product gave me exactly what I was wanting. I now have more confidence when hunting larger game by using these weight tubes.
Weight Tubes
By Steel City
from Land of Booners
Added 3 grains per inch weight tubes to my Aramid KV's. They fit perfectly and were very simple to install. Make sure the weight tube length is right up against the inside of the nok or you may need a dab of glue on the nok. These tubes made my arrows just shy of 500 grains and I blew through a whitetail with not a trace of blood on the shaft. He fell in 30 yards.

I was very careful installing these and still couldn't get my nocks to stay in. Even after removing the tubes I couldn't keep my nocks in. I didn't want to glue my nocks though this might have solved my problems. I'd try to add weight in some other fashion.The tubes did stiffen my arrows slightly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
adds weight easy

These weight tubes are easy to measure easy to mark easy to cut and easy to install. They work as advertised and I have no complaints. If you have a traditional bow that has an adjustable draw weight or a compound these should be in your bow case. I added 85 grains to my arrow at #50 and it slowed the bow too much too make it worth it.

The "1/4-inch" weight tubes fit Gold Tip's Kinetic shafts correctly. I was concerned these tubes may be too large because the ID of the Kinetic shafts is .204-inch, i.e. .204 vs .250 (1/4-inch); seems the weight tubes should be re-designated??? The finished arrows, with 125-gr. tips, weigh approx. 580-grains.

I bought 3 dozen of the 5 GPI inserts. I have found them to be VERY INCONSISTENT in weight. I have found them to be in 3 groups....105-108 grains ....then another bunch from 112-115 while the third group weigh in around 138-140 grains. There are odd numbers of arrows in each group. I even had one insert weigh 98 grains and my heaviest was 148 grains. Terrible....will NOT buy again.
May arrive at your door crushed!
By BML
from Baton Rouge, LA
The weight tubes are hollow, plastic, tubes that come rubber-banded together. Thought I'd include that because I was a little unsure of what to expect just by the image online/in catalog. Perhaps the mail is to blame, but three or four of my tubes arrived crushed at a certain point along the tube. This doesn't affect the weight of the tube, but it did render it difficult to feed into the carbon arrow shaft. The video on the 3rivers website gives a tip to crimp the tube with pliers to keep the tube from rattling inside arrow. My tubes fit so snugly, however, that the crushed portion made it difficult to feed the tube into the arrow shaft. One of the tubes was unusable, in fact.
Great upgrade

A great inexpensive item to add a bit extra weight to carbon arrows.

Good but not a perfect solution
By Jake the Shot
from Shakopee, MN
These are a great way to quickly get the weight up on your arrows. Great for penetration and down range kinetic energy. However, they do affect FOC and dynamic spine - maybe not a ton, but enough to notice depending on your exact arrow set up.Also, it may vary from arrow to arrow with these tubes, but any sort of hard impact (stump shooting, hitting dense hay bales, etc, etc) had a very decent chance of blasting my nock right off the back of my arrows. Even with a tight fit and the crimping technique, it would take glue to keep these tubes in reliably.All that said, these are a cheap and easy way to beef up weight but I prefer going with a heavier grain per inch arrow, a brass insert, and a heavier point weight. You may need to beef up your spine if you go that route, but then you won't have to worry about your nocks and weight tubes blasting off the back of your arrows on hard impacts.

Daily 24 Hours
An elegant, historic hotel for convention-goers. – The Scene
Originally the Pantlind Hotel, this property was designed by the architects responsible for New York's Grand Central Station and the Biltmore Hotel. It was built in 1913, and its rich heritage can be seen in such exquisite details as the lobby's gold leaf ceiling. While it offers numerous packages to lure individual travelers, this is mainly a convention hotel, located adjacent to Grand Center, city's convention and exhibition facility.
The Details
The 682 accommodations are located in the original hotel building and a 29-story glass tower--top-floor tower rooms have great views of the city. They are tastefully done with traditional furnishings and have amenities such as Web TV, Nintendo 64 and data ports. Tower Club rooms include a private concierge, breakfast, hot evening hors d'oeuvres and access to the Tower Club Lounge, which is richly furnished with a leather sofa and chairs and a deco-style fireplace. The newly renovated Plaza Fitness Center has an indoor swimming pool, hot tubs, a sauna, tennis, racquetball and workout facilities. Nine restaurants and lounges, as well as 40,000-plus square-feet of function space, accommodate the crowds that check in here.

An 80-year-old Sparks man was reportedly endangered and missing at about 2 p.m. Wednesday by Sparks Police after his caregiver reported him missing from the Veterans Administration Hospital.
August Prechel, a 5-foot, 6-inch-tall man in a wheelchair, was thought to have been possibly endangered after his caregiver failed to locate him in the lobby of the downtown facility, according to sparks Police Lt. Erick Thomas.
"There was no reason to suspect foul play at this time, however due to Pretchel's age and medical condition there is concern for his welfare," Thomas said.
Pretchel was thought to be suffering from dementia. He was only wearing jeans and a grey jacket at the time.
Surprisingly however, by noon Thursday, Sparks Police reported that the veteran who was wheelchair bound and thought to have trouble with dementia was found safely at his own home in Sparks.
"He was found at home," Thomas said at 12:30 p.m. Thursday "He's fine."
Thomas did not say how Pretchel was able to make it home.

About Jacob Haller
I grew up in Holland, Massachusetts and I still remember the music parties my parents used to throw, where friends and families would bring their instruments by and we would sing all kinds of music, from old traditional songs to Motown hits. When I got to college I picked up the guitar and started learning some of those songs, and eventually I started writing songs of my own, mostly strange little songs I wrote to entertain my friends.
In 2010 I was nominated for 'Best Singer/Songwriter' in the Providence Phoenix. I currently perform solo and with a backing band, the Running Commentary. I'm also a member of two other bands, the Killdevils (a blues/soul/rock band) and the Double Decker Dance Band (an afro-beat/dance band).
I've been a member of the Rhode Island Songwriters Association since September of 2006. In 2011, my song 'The Ballad of Anne Hutchinson' was one of those selected to be played in 'Singing About Providence', a show celebrating Providence's 375th anniversary put on by HEAR In Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Songwriters Association.
I've released two CDs, Circumstantial Evidence and Mistaken Identity.
Jacob Haller and the Silent Treatment
In April 2012 I had a show with the band BebeRequin, and one of its members, Matt Everett, sat in with me on accordion for a couple of songs. I had been thinking about putting together a new group and had been looking for an electric guitarist, but this made me think, maybe it would be more interesting to work with some different instruments. I asked Joe Auger (who was my drummer in my last band) what he thought and it turned out that he and Matt had been friends for a while. And so Jacob Haller and the Silent Treatment came into being.
When he isn't playing the drums here and with Anne's Cordial, Joe Auger is a great singer/songwriter in his own right. He also plays more instruments than you can shake a stick at, and is an experienced sound engineer and producer as well.
Matt Everett is a multi-instrumentalist who has been a member of such iconic Rhode Island bands as the Amoebic Ensemble and the Eyesores. He currently performs solo, with BebeRequin, and with the Everett Bros. I'm pleased to have him play accordion and violin in the Silent Treatment.
I feel very lucky that two musicians of this caliber have agreed to be in my band, and I'm having a lot of fun collaborating with them!
"Providence musician Jacob Haller is as unique as his lyrics are clever." -- Annie Messier, Providence Daily Dose, May 10, 2012
"Jacob Haller knows how to play to a crowd." -- Ted Hayes, The Sakonnet Times, January 17, 2012
"I can picture Jacob at the front of a classroom making a bunch of kids bop along while learning about a controversial heresy trial." -- Heather Rose, December 1, 2011
"Haller ranges with hints of Leon Redbone, Greg Brown and Paul Geremia, smoothly pulling out lines that are as catchy as a smile. The tunes themselves never try too hard. They are just fresh and somewhat jolly sounding." -- Jonathan Cook, Turley Publications, October 27, 2009
"No one spins a tale more uniquely than Jacob Haller." -- Chris Conti, The Providence Phoenix, November 15, 2011
"Jacob Haller's lyrics are edgey, current, and most amusing, revealing a man so personable, bright, and talented, any knitter would love to share a knitting sit-in right beside him." -- Sharon Watterson, Providence Knitting Examiner, December 30, 2009
"Music is dumb! I only like music that Uncle Jake sings!" -- my four-year-old niece Harriett, November 19, 2011

Evening of Art, Food, and Music Features Cellist Matt Haimovitz and Pianist Geoffrey Burleson August 12
For Immediate Release
August 01, 2008
Internationally acclaimed Israeli cellist Matt Haimovitz and pianist Geoffrey Burleson will perform on August 12 at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as part of the Tuesday evening series of art, food, and music. Concerts begin at 8 pm and a prix-fixe dinner at 6 pm in the Clark Café will be offered prior to each performance. The Clark's galleries remain open until 6 pm on concert evenings providing a chance to view the exhibition Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly. Concert tickets are $18 ($15 for Clark members) and can be purchased at www.clarkart.edu, at the Clark's museum shop, or by calling 413-458-0524. Cost for dinner is $23 per person (does not include beverage, tax, or gratuity) and reservations are required; call 413-458-0524.
Matt Haimovitz, described by The New York Times as a "stellar soloist," made his debut in 1984 at the age of 13, as soloist with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic. At 17 he made his first recording, performing the Saint-Saëns, Lalo, and Bruch concertos with James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He has performed with the Berlin Philharmonic with James Levine, the New York Philharmonic with Zubin Mehta, the English Chamber Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin.
While receiving rave reviews for playing concerto favorites with orchestras worldwide, and for premiering multiple new concertos each season, Haimovitz is expanding the concerto experience and repertoire with a series of innovative new commissions and recordings. The program at the Clark will include the cello and piano arrangement of one such work, "Klezmer Fantasy," by Williamstown composer Stephen Dankner. The work is in six continuous movements and is an original work in the style of traditional Klezmer. Also included in the program will the Beethoven Sonata in D Major, Opus 102, No. 2; the Carter Sonata for Cello and Piano; and the Barber Sonata in C Minor, Opus 6.
Collaborating with Haimovitz is pianist Geoffrey Burleson, who has performed to wide acclaim throughout Europe and North America. He is equally active as a recitalist, concerto soloist, chamber musician, and jazz performer. Burleson has appeared as soloist with the Boston Musica Viva, Arlington Philharmonic, New England Philharmonic, and the Holland Symfonia. A core member of Impetus, The New York Art Ensemble, the Boston Musica Viva, and the Pittsburgh Collective, Burleson teaches piano at Princeton University and is assistant professor of music and coordinator of piano studies at Hunter College. The New York Times has hailed Burleson's solo performances as "vibrant and compelling."
On August 19, Manchester Music Festival artists Joana Genova, Ariel Rudiakov, Maxine Neuman, and Elizabeth Wright will perform. The series concludes on August 26 with the Julliard-trained Amernet String Quartet.
Clark chef Steve Wilkinson has designed a series of three-course, prix-fixe dinners served prior to the concerts. Each course will offer three choices, with the menu changing each week. Appetizer selections include: Tuscan tomato soup with fresh basil; mesclun greens with avocado, grapefruit, and crab, with lime-mint dressing; and native tomato salad with feta cheese and olives. Entrée choices may include: sautéed tilapia with lemon, capers, butter, and parsley; roast rosemary chicken with roasted vegetables and corn spoon bread; or penne with broccoli rabe, cannellini beans, garlic, and asiago cheese. For dessert, choices include: chocolate mousse, strawberry-rhubarb tart, and crème brûlée. Wilkinson has been chef/manager of the Clark's Café for two years, and prior to that, he owned and was chef at three restaurants in Connecticut: Fine Bouche, Steve's Centerbrook Cafe, and Esteva, all were rated 3 stars by the New York Times and held Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence. Reservations are required. Call 413-458-0524. Seating begins at 6 pm.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open daily in July and August, 10 am to 5 pm (closed Mondays, September through June). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Anytime a candidate calls an unexpected press conference in the evening, you know it's not good news. We look at the latest news and political fall out from the release of Mitt Romney's remarks at a private fundraiser. The comments were made in May and the recording was released by Mother Jones magazine.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish. Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney admits he could've used more elegant language, but he's not backing down. Romney was secretly recorded speaking at a fundraiser in May and his comments were publicized yesterday by the liberal magazine, "Mother Jones." Here he is telling wealthy backers that President Obama has a built-in base of support.

BPA could be making kids fat. Or not.
That's the unsatisfying takeaway from the latest study on bisphenol A — the plastic additive that environmental groups have blamed for everything from ADHD to prostate disease.
Unfortunately, the science behind those allegations isn't so clear. And the new study on obesity in children and teens is no exception.
Some conservatives have denounced Romney's remarks. The "Weekly Standard's" Bill Kristol called them arrogant and stupid. In the New York Times, David Brooks wrote that it shows Mitt Romney doesn't understand the country or its culture. But others, such as radio personality Rush Limbaugh, have come to the candidate's defense.
It all began last year, when the Library of Congress presented Samuel Beckett's Ohio Impromptu alongside a piece of music by composer Dina Koston, which responded to the text. A New York group, the Cygnus Ensemble, played the music, while Washington, D.C., director Joy Zinoman staged the play, for one night only.

In the U.S., the pap smear has become a routine part of women's health care, and it's dramatically reduced cervical cancer deaths. But in Africa and other impoverished regions, few women get pap smears because the countries lack the laboratories and other resources necessary to offer them.
Now to a development surrounding Mitt Romney's campaign. After several days of stumbles on the trail and internal squabbling spilling into public view, Romney's campaign vowed to get back to substance today. Romney delivered a speech to a Latino group in Los Angeles today touting his economic plan and touching on immigration. But the spotlight was stolen by a report on the website Mother Jones.

Yukiya Amano is frustrated.
Last week, Amano, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told a meeting of the agency in Vienna that he is aggravated by Iran's unwillingness to show the IAEA what's going on at a base called Parchin.
"Iran should engage with us without further delay on the substance of our concerns," he said. "We need to stop going around in circles, discussing process."

Our color shifting pearls offer a show of interesting multicolor shifts that change depending on the angle viewed as well as the location of the light source.

Custom Shops Color Shifting Flake (CSF) produce a dramatic color shifting effect that changes in dramatic fashion at every angle viewed. The effect of Color Shifting Flake is intensified by the size of the shifting flake particles. While being a large flake requiring a 1.8 or 2.2 Gun tip, they lay down extremely smooth for their size and require much less clearcoat to flow out and level. They are best used over a black or dark base color for maximum effect. But because of their transparent nature they can also be sprayed over any color base to produce color never seen before.
SpectraLusion is a special effect that is new to the Custom Automotive Graphics market. SpectraLusion once applied creates an effect that looks like a typical metallic finish when in low light indoor conditions, but explodes to a brilliant burst of color in a multi-color rainbow effects that has a hot spot of color that moves as you move. It has a very hot liquid metal appearance. SpectraLusion has its greatest impact when applied over a Black basecoat, but it can be used over any color.
UBC 825 Mid-Coat Clear is a great inter-coat basecoat clear for protecting artwork but it also works great as a carrier for spraying Flakes and Pearls by allowing the flakes and pearls to lay down smoothly and lock into place without drifting.
UBC825 4 Ounces |
UBC825 Quart | UBC825 Gallon
We would like to remind you of the importance of a good respirator while spraying paint or while performing operations such as mixing, sanding or grinding. We make it easy to do the right thing.

If I am going to be so masochistic as to turn my oven on when it is most likely 90+ degrees in my kitchen, it better be for something good. I have tried many ways to make summer baking more bearable but I haven't been so successful. I've attempted the whole no-bake route, but sometimes baking is the only option no matter how hot it gets. AmIRight? Especially when you have something on the brain that you know would be delicious. You know how that goes?
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter (2 sticks or 8 ounces)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 4 cups fresh blueberries (2 small 16 oz cartons)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, and baking powder. Mix in salt and lemon zest. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.
- In another bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently mix in the blueberries. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble remaining dough over the berry layer.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

I worked at Best Buy part-time for less than a year
Pros – Higher than average pay.
Great co-workers to work with.
Cons – Awkward hours (Ex: 2-Close [10p.m-12a.m] then being back up there to open at 8-9)
Uncommunicative Managers and Supervisors.
Advice to Senior Management – Actually listen to your employees, don't just blow us off with empty promises. I only worked there for about 7 months but management was insane, expecting something different doing the exact same thing every day
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Black rice flan with ricotta sauce rosemary flavoured, pork fillet breaded with spinach flour, potato Dauphinoise and mini cranberry muffins with lemon custard.
Let's tell the truth: I was in absolute and pathological cooking abstinence.
Among moves (yes, plural), my job and definitely not expected hernia (sigh) I have sadly neglected mine "closet of the skilled cook", casket of every kind of utensil and ingredient and precious keeper of my greatest passion.
Yesterday, after a long and forced waiting,I have announced on Twitter and Facebook what would have become the post that you are reading right now: a menù for two, from the first course to the dessert, to remind and to remember that every day can be special.
And it is so.
I have used many of the ingredients purchased during first Foodies in Rome meeting: spinach flour, so perfumed; double cream, a very dense and rich in fats milky cream; and finally the candied cramberries, genuinely delicate.
The supper has been a success, I used up to my culinary creativeness and I have picked up some material for my newborn blog unaware victim of the total frenzy of these days.
But now is enough chatters, let's start with the recipes!!!!
Black wild rice flan with ricotta sauce rosmary flavoured
Black Rice 100 gr
Ricotta Cheese 60 gr
Salt and Pepper
Cook the rice in a pan with boiling water just slightly firm (about 15 minutes). Add cold water into the pan to stop cooking, strain the rice an put into a bowl.
From the other side take the ricotta cheese and stir it with milk: it has to be fluid, not too liquid. You can do it straight in a small pan and put it on the stove with a moderate fire. Then add the rosmary to the Ricotta souce In the meantime, prepare the ricotta cheese sauce: put the ricotta cheese in a saucepan to heat gently. Add milk gradually to obtain a fluid cream but not too much liquid. Put some fresh rosemary in the sauce and remove the pan from the heat. Pan fry the rice in a pan with oil and add more Rosemary. Salt and pepper to taste.
To give the shape of a rice cake I used a pasta cutter (iron ring) not too large, I placed it at the center of the dish and I filled with the rice. Complete the dish with the ricotta cheese sauce.
Pork fillets breaded with spinach flour with potatoes Dauphinoise
Pork fillet 300gr
Spinach Flour 50 gr
Flour 00 50 gr
Potatoes Dauphinoise
Yellow potatoes 250 gr
Milk 50 ml
Double cream 100 ml
Garlic 1 clove
Gruyere cheese grated 50 gr
White wine
Mix the two flours and bread carefully the pork fillets. Heat the oil in a frying pan and when it is hot put to fry fillets 3 minutes per side. Put in the pan 1/2 a cup of white wine. Slice the potatoes not too thick and put them in cold water. Put on the fire a saucepan with the double cream, milk and garlic: stir the ingredients and bring them almost to boil. Dries the potatoes and put them in the same saucepan, stirring gently. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, turn on the oven and take it to 180 °, grease with some butter a baking pan and put inside the potatoes. Cover with the grated Gruyère and bake for 25 minutes. Put in a serving plate the pork fillets with the potatoes and serve hot!!!
Mini cranberry muffins
Mini muffins
Soften Butter 90 gr
Sugar 100 gr
1 whole egg
Flour baking powder 180 gr
yeast 1/2 teaspoon Milk 125 ml
Cranberries 50gr (these measures are enough for 12 mini muffins or 6 regular)
Heat the oven to 180 ° and grease the moulds for muffins. Then melt the butter and once cooled mix it well with sugar. Add the whole egg and mix thoroughly. Add gradually the dry ingredients and milk and at last the cranberries. Fill the buttered moulds for 2/3 and bake the muffins for 15 to 20 minutes, until they become golden and firm to touch.
Cream lemon
1 egg yolk
milk 125 ml
sugar 50 gr
wheat starch 13 gr
Half a lemon zest (untreated;))
Heat the milk with lemon zest taking care that it does not reaches a boil. In a bowl mix the sugar with the egg yolk and the wheat starch. Add gradually a little warm milk (the one with the lemon, of course) and then pour everything in saucepan with leftover milk and lemon zest. Continues to mix and soon the cream starts to thicken, shuffling quickly to avoid lumps and make a smooth mixture. If it seems too dense, add a dash of milk to obtain the right consistency. You can serve it hot or cold, I've played with contrasts: muffins still hot and cold cream. And to complete, some Cranberry to decorate

Really GREAT NEWS
GREAT NEWS on your new album. So glad that all of you are still active after all these years. The endurance you exhibit should be a beacon to all those who aspire to follow you... 'Good things last'.
"Perseverance and longevity will trump all financial wealth and deviant obstacles.
Existence by refusal to surrender. A determination to follow one's own path. . .
There can be no greater reward than to be admired for being that person who
desired to be themselves."
These words of wisdom were written to me by "G.B." two weeks ago... (back in Texas again @ M.B.'s relaxing mesquite and cactus 'hideaway')
ps: I have been a fan of yours since the beginning, three guys+ in a van...

A Superior Methyl B-12
9 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2995970 From California on Jan 19, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I'd been taking Jarrow's Methyl B-12 but it always produced tiny granules while dissolving that made me choke. Plus it contained flavoring without revealing if it was natural. It also contained citric acid which erodes tooth enamel. And then they switched from glass to plastic bottles. It was time for a change, so I switched to this Solgar product and like it much better. Fast dissolving, non acidic and great taste.
small is good

Posted by EmiMesic From Bosnia and Herzegovina on Jul 29, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I battled aspergillosis and MCS, and started on this one. I was slowly getting better. I take some other supplements, so when I ran out of it, I did not really mind, thinking it will be fine. In 3 days,I all the improvements were gone! I became super-tired, my lungs started hurting again, fainting when exposed to chemicals, etc. Went to the local health-store, bought a new bottle and was better by the evening.. True miracle, and no poison in these nuggets. Good taste, not dry to chew (like Twinlab YIKES!) and instant energy! I LOVE them
Tiny tablet, good effect

I like this methyl-B12 a lot. I had trouble with the citric acid in Jarrow's methyl-B12, and this version seems to be of equal power without the citric acid.
Gets b12 into system quickly

Posted by Reviewer2151532 From Virginia on Aug 27, 2011
Purchased at iHerb
I developed nerve pain in my wrist and thumb joint -- probably due to playing too many games on my iphone. The pain became bad enough to send me to the drugstore for a wrist brace. I started taking my b12 and 100mg b-complex. Within a couple of days, the throbbing pain had eased considerably. By the end of the week, I was actually taking the brace off for part of the day.
