Forensic Voice Identification Utilizing Digitally Extracted Speech Characteristics
By combining modern capabilities in the digital domain with more traditional methods of aural comparison and spectrographic inspection, the acquisition of identity from recorded evidence can be executed with greater confidence. To aid the Audio Forensic Examiner's efforts in this, an effective approach to manual voice identification is presented here. To this end, this paper relates the research into and application of unique vocal characteristics utilized by the SIDNI (Speaker Identification by Numerical Imprint) automated system of voice identification to manual forensic investigation. Some characteristics include: fundamental speaking frequency, rate of vowels, proportional relationships in spectral distribution, amplitude of speech, and perturbation measurements.

This book, written by a British psychiatrist, lives up to its title as a practical guide to sex therapy by providing a detailed format for the behavioral approach to assessing and treating problems of psychosexual dysfunction. The author notes the advances in the field over the last 20 years, emphasizing the work of Masters and Johnson. He provides a thorough review of the physiology of sexual response, helpful charts of physiological and pharmacologic factors contributing to dysfunction, and an interesting assessment of outcome studies. It is appropriate for novices in the area of sex therapy who are nonetheless highly experienced psychotherapists. Those clinicians could take advantage of the clear, helpful descriptions of sex therapy approaches.
A weakness of the volume, however, is the insufficient attention paid to the psychodynamics frequently associated with sexual dysfunction. Dr Hawton categorically states that "it is totally inappropriate for a person to be in both

Health, Mind & Body
"I'll be happy when…I win the lottery. Snag my dream job. Lose that last ten pounds." Does that sound familiar? Marci Shimoff in Happy for No Reason points out the flaws in this type of thinking and presents practical advice for living a life of happiness, regardless of your circumstances. Shimoff herself thought she had achieved the American Dream as a successful, published author married to a loving husband and living in a beautiful home. But she, too, felt something was missing from her life. Through her research and her interviews of the "Happy 100," Shimoff discovers that happiness is derived from within and offers the following seven steps to creating your own happiness:
1. Take Ownership of Your Happiness
2. Don't Believe Everything You Think
3. Let Love Lead
4. Make Your Cells Happy
5. Plug Yourself Into Spirit
6. Live a Life Inspired by Purpose
7. Cultivate Nourishing Relationships
So, why should you read this book now that I've given away Shimoff's seven steps? Because although these steps are the basics of Shimoff's plan, her explanations and advice are well worth reading, to the point where I wanted to dog-ear the book's pages (as it was a library book, I did not). Even the new-age concept of the Law of Attraction had me thinking "what if it is true?" and "what do I have to lose?"
Have you and your loved ones made your healthcare end of life decisions yet? Have you drafted an Advance Directive to communicate your end of life choices in writing? Monday, April 16th marks the Fifth Annual National Healthcare Decisions Day. Consider setting aside some time in your busy schedule to learn more about end of life care options and possible medical decisions that can arise during a health crisis.
To learn more about Advance Directives and other information about end of life decisions, please visit the "Advance Directive" section of the SeniorNavigator website.
You will find Virginia Advance Directive forms here to complete, as well as a link to the Commonwealth of Virginia's Advance Health Care Directive Registry, where you can securely store your medical power-of-attorney, do-not-resusitate orders, and other health care wishes.
SeniorNavigator is the go-to website for Virginians who need information on services for our citizens of "a certain age!" Caregiving, housing and long term care, transportation, and legal and financial information for the aging can be found at SeniorNavigator.org.
"Cultivating Community" is a community-wide program designed to share information in the Fredericksburg region about farm-to-table and sustainable food communities. These web sites support those goals by exploring how you can assess the sustainability of your community and your home, finding locally grown foods or growing your own, cooking, and sustainable gardening.
Community Sustainability Assessment: gen.ecovillage.org/activities/csa/English
A comprehensive checklist that anyone can complete to get a basic idea of how sustainable their community is. While it requires good knowledge of the life-styles, practices and features of the community, it does not require research, calculation and detailed quantification. This assessment takes about three hours for an individual to complete, or a series of sessions if done as a group experience by community members.
The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan, seeks to determine through investigative journalism exactly what goes into deciding what we should eat. Pollan explains that as omnivores, humans have such a vast variety of foods that they are able to eat—plant, animal, and even fungi--that it creates a problem within the human mind. Other species such as the koala bear only have one choice for dinner, eucalyptus leaves; because humans have so many choices, deciding what to eat can take up a large part of humans' time.
In order to investigate exactly how we have come to use the supermarkets and the industrial-style meal preparations today, Pollan looks at all of the ways in which people are able to feed themselves. He analyzes first the industrial-style food change, which starts with large farms in other parts of the country—or, in some cases, other parts of the world—and consists mostly of corn products, which leads to a meal served at your local McDonald's. Then he looks into the organic phenomena that we're seeing today, which stemmed out of early ideas about better ways to manufacture food that does not contain hormones and antibiotics that other industrial food chains add. Next, he looks at some alternative food production models, such as grass feed farms. The one that he examines most thoroughly is Polyface Farm, which is located in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Lastly, Pollan looks at the most traditional way of food production—food foraging—with which he produces an entire meal using his own skills in Berkley, California.
Senior citizens, their families, and caregivers looking for accurate healthcare information on the Internet will probably tell you it's a mess. There are a tangle of sites for the various federal, state, and local government healthcare agencies, not to mention sites for hospitals, private care facilities, medical information sites like WebMD, and a quagmire of others floating around out there. Each site has its own navigation scheme and design that will make even the savviest of the web-savvy shake a fist skyward in frustration when trying to figure them out. SeniorNavigator.org seeks to make the information gathering experience for senior citizens easy and anxiety-free. At the Central Rappahannock Regional Library, we want to help you use this tool to find the best information and advice to make your lives easier.
I decided to read this book because I've always been interested in the Dalai Lama. I really thought The Art of Happiness would be more focused on understanding Buddhist principles; instead, it's a peculiar mix of Eastern religion meets Western medicine.
Co-author Dr. Howard Cutler is a psychiatrist with a private practice in Phoenix, and the Dalai Lama is a Buddhist monk. It's amusing to see two very different approaches to achieving happiness. The Dalai Lama's approach to achieving happiness is more of a holistic, spiritual system that focuses on improving oneself using the power of the mind. Dr. Howard Cutler takes more of a back-seat approach in which he listens to the Dalai Lama's suggestions and gives input about modern psychological approaches used in the United States.
Most people know David Byrne as a musician, with the Talking Heads and as a solo artist. In his three-decade career, Byrne always managed to incorporate a diverse collection of international influences in his sound. In Bicycle Diaries, he has found an equally engaging role as a worldwide cultural critic. The book is much more than a travelogue though. It is a grand celebration of how people live, observed from the seat of a two-wheeler as it whisks through city streets worldwide. It is made up of meditations on art, politics, architecture, and so much more.
When biking through a city, one is more agile than a car, faster than a pedestrian, and taller than anything that isn't a Hum-Vee or on horseback. You see details that others can not, providing a wholly unique perspective of how this particular city works.
Chemistry appears to be the coldest, most sterile field of science, breaking down all the values that we as humans hold most dear. When we look close enough, these basic drives of ours, love, money, entertainment, courage, are just the combinations of different elements. Thanks chemistry, for sucking the fun out of the party.
But Sam Kean's new book, The Disappearing Spoon, manages to take the history of the periodic table of elements, that impenetrable fortress from your high school chemistry class, and relate some of the most amazing, unbelievable, hilarious stories that have ever existed.
Almost episodic in nature, the crux of each story is often how a particular element was discovered, and then how humankind has chosen to put it to use. Sometimes it is for public welfare (copper is used on doorknobs and stair railings because most bacteria that land on it die with in a matter of hours), other times for warfare (high demand for the metals used to construct cell phones have contributed to five million deaths in war-torn central Africa since the mid-90's).

The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
This inspirational fable...has been a runaway bestseller....The charming tale of Santiago, a shepherd boy, who dreams of seeing the world, is compelling in its own right, but gains resonance through the many lessons Santiago learns during his adventures. He journeys from Spain to Morocco in search of worldly success, and eventually to Egypt, where a fateful encounter with an alchemist brings him at last to self-understanding and spiritual enlightenment. The story has the comic charm, dramatic tension and psychological intensity of a fairy tale, but it's full of specific wisdom as well, about becoming self-empowered, overcoming depression, and believing in dreams. The cumulative effect is
like hearing a wonderful bedtime story from an inspirational psychiatrist. (from Publishers Weekly)
Can't Wait to Get to Heaven, by Fannie Flagg
Octogenarian Elner Shimfissle falls off a ladder after accidentally disturbing a hornets' nest while picking figs. After she dies at the hospital, the novel's bite-size chapters alternate between funny and touching vignettes showing how Elner's death and life has affected dozens of people in town, interspersed with scenes of Elner's laugh-out-loud assent into the hereafter. From there, the plot offers readers a series of delightful surprises...Flagg is an expert at balancing pathos with plenty of Southern sass, and this could very well be the feel-good read of the summer.

Tara Stiles' Slim Calm Sexy Yoga is full of easy-to-follow 15-minute routines that target specific fitness goals and health issues.
In her introduction Stiles states: "My approach is based on harnessing the healing power of yoga and applying it in the most targeted way possible - fixing whatever hurts you, stresses you, or makes you sad, in less time than it takes to wash and dry your hair."
Stiles begins by discussing the concept of 15-minute yoga and three essential yoga principles: breathing, meditation and body alignment. She goes on to cover the essential yoga poses that she'll combine into the various 15-minute routines. You'll find lots of large explanatory pictures in this section. From there the book is divided into chapters focusing on "Slim," "Calm," "Sexy," "Fit," "Gorgeous," and "Healthy" yoga, each offering several routines (with pictures) that address each issue. The book wraps up with tips and advice on making yoga more a part of your life, mainly through attending classes.

Moving on up: Can the American Dream still become a reality today?
While this much absolute mobility, by itself, is encouraging, Currier says, taking absolute and relative mobility together gives a more nuanced picture. Together, they depict people on an escalator moving up together, while some people switch relative positions as they step up or down on the moving stairs.
Scott Winship, a Fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institute, says that as a society grows richer, absolute mobility (being better off than your parents) becomes less important.
"It was more important that all of society became richer when everybody was farming and living hand-to-mouth," he says. "When society is that poor, absolute mobility is more important than equal opportunity to move up and down the ladder.
"When we get to be a rich society, as we are today, it becomes in some sense more important whether you are able to climb the rungs of the ladder. But if you are still starting out at the bottom and can only aspire to a limited amount of things when you become an adult, that goes against all of the ideals of the American Dream."
When McDaniel stops by his old house in Magna, he notices a few changes. The house is surrounded by a low chain-link fence — even across the driveway. A mini-satellite TV dish peeks over the eaves. A large garage (added by his mom before she moved) is on the side of the home. There is a trampoline and two sets of playground equipment in the front yard, something he didn't have when he lived there. He may be looking at a house occupied by someone a few rungs down the ladder on the income distribution scale, but it's seems better than what he experienced when his family occupied a similar rung.
"The grass is a little better than when we lived here," he says before driving away.
Before his mother had enough money to buy the small home in Magna, the family lived in a duplex in Salt Lake City. They called it "The Shop" because his grandfather, who owned the building, had his appliance repair business in the other unit. It was surrounded by railroad tracks, gangs and crime.
"When we moved to Magna we thought we were rich," he says. But his mother worked really hard, McDaniel says. "She wanted things to be better for us," he says. "She was a real proponent of education."
Her children did learn. They learned how to do the laundry, how to cook. They had to get themselves up in the morning to walk to school. "We learned a lot of skills from a very early age," McDaniel says.
By the time he was a teenager, his mother's efforts were paying off — the family was thoroughly middle class. "Mobility started with her," he says. Her extraordinary example of hard work and learning made another difference. McDaniel made education his vocation and is now the assistant superintendent in the Murray School District.
Opportunity factors
At the heart of the American Dream is equal opportunity for children — wherever they are born and in whatever condition — to rise above their situation. The factors affecting that opportunity are varied and complex. Opportunity Nation identified three major categories of these factors: economics, education and community.
Economic factors include things like income, spending and access to the Internet.
In the educational area are high school graduation rates, spending per pupil and percentage of adults with higher education.
Community factors include things like the number of churches or civic groups, volunteerism rates, crime rates, health care quality and availability of healthy foods.
Using all of these factors, Opportunity Nation created an online index measuring how well communities foster opportunity and the American Dream. The searchable index is at OpportunityNation.org.
"Opportunity is not just about money and it is not just about jobs," Edwards says. "Those are critical pieces, but if you are in a community where the number of primary care physicians is significantly less than other places it actually inhibits opportunity. If you are in a community that has no access to healthy foods, that is another inhibitor."

Blogs Liberty and Power Read the ConstitutionMay 27, 2004 12:45 pm
Read the Constitution
I hope this won't make me sound like a fan of George W. Bush, but here goes anyway. I am sick of columnists and others reminding us that Al Gore won the"popular vote." It's irrelevant! (See Maureen Dowd for an example.) If the national popular vote had mattered, Bush could have run up his margins in Texas and his other safe states. But he didn't because it would have been wasted time and money. Why? Because the Constitution set up the Electoral College. For the benefit of the Gore fans, what counts is how many state electoral votes a candidate wins, not how many votes cast by citizens. You get a state's electoral votes even if you win the state's popular vote by a margin of one. The Gore fans' nattering is equivalent to claiming your team really won the World Series because although it lost four games, it scored more runs overall than the other team. Give it up, Gore fans. You're only showing your ignorance.

Jonathan Dresner - 5/27/2004
Moreover, the electoral college win was more a judicial than electoral function: given the margin of error in the voting, Florida was a tie, and awarding it to either of them was pretty much discretionary.
And some of us think the "winner-take-all" states should grow up and join the proportional vote crowd.
David Gross - 5/27/2004
1) I think it's the case that a few states proportionally allocate their electors rather than having a winner-take-all system.
2) Perhaps the "Gore fans" aren't being ignorant of how the U.S. presidential election mechanics work, but are merely reminding people that the Dubya Squad had a less-than-popular mandate.

The closest thing to a line-wide event that Marvel has this summer is the âDark Avengersâ and âUncanny X-Menâ crossover: a six-part story spanning four months, bookended by two specials. The first special, âUtopiaâ is a solid set-up issue that clearly establishes the conflict between the two groups, but does so in a drawn-out manner.
As the initial pages show, the conflict stems from a confrontation between mutants in San Francisco and a group of humans led by Simon Trask who have marched from Sacramento in protest of mutants congregating in the city and, ultimately, in protest of mutants existing at all. This leads to a city-wide riot with both mutants and humans equally at fault and causing an equal amount of damage to each side.
Caught in the middle are the X-Men, as Cyclops tries to hold the mutant community in check to no avail. Matt Fraction builds the tension well, leading up to the involvement of Norman Osborn and his Avengers, called in to restore order and, naturally, Osborn uses this as a chance to eliminate a few of the old guard superheroes that comprise the X-Men and, perhaps, as solicitations suggest, put his own group in its place.
There are two main problems with this issue. The first is that the length of story seems drawn out to accommodate the increased page count that a special of this nature demands. Fraction does try to fill the pages with different aspects of the riot, but even that doesnât hide the fact that this could have been a regular-sized issue without anything getting lost. Some scenes work nicely, like Cyclops confronting Toad, or when the Avengers arrive on the scene. The way that Spider-Man/Venom sizes up Colossus and leaps in battle with joy is wonderful.
The other main problem is the art, which suffers from twelve artists in addition to Marc Silvestri doing âpencil assistsâ and inks, giving the book an inconsistent look with some pages obviously more âassistedâ than others. Not only that, but this is an issue that requires a bit more subtlety in the quiet scenes since a lot rests on facial expressions and body language, and Silvestri and company just canât pull that off. They do well in the riot scenes where the cluttered masses and energy work well with this style, but scenes like Cyclops meeting with the mayor, or Emma Frost demanding answers from Osborn fall flat with ludicrous poses and unreal expressions.
âUtopiaâ isnât the strongest of starts to this crossover since so much of its power rests in the ending, but it is an intriguing and compelling end. Where Fraction goes from here should be interesting.
(Judge the art for yourself in CBRâs preview!)

A Franklin homeowner discovers a dead man floating in her pool. Simpson County Coroner Gary Crafton said a resident on East Cedar Street in Franklin, looked out her window at 7:20 a.m. this morning and saw a fully clothed man's body floating in her pool.
After authorities responded to her 911 call, 51-year-old Oscar Moore was pronounced dead at the scene.
He had been hired by the homeowner to do some yard work today, Thursday, April 5, 2007.
Crafton said this appears to be a case of accidental drowning, but an autopsy in Louisville Friday morning will determine Moore's exact cause of death.

Easy Tuna Pasta Salad
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 15 mins
We make this easy pasta salad a lot in the summer - it's delicious at room temp or cold on hot days, and there's no mayo in it, so it travels well, too. We also make this during the winter, to remember what summer tasted like. It makes a great light lunch or dinner. Adapted from a Gourmet recipe.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 lb penne (or rotini, radiatore, bowtie, etc)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, for juice and zest
- 1⁄4 cup packed fresh basil leaf
- 1 (6 ounce) can tuna in olive oil, not drained (or 6-ounces tuna in water, plus approximately 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil of your choice)
- tomatoes, chopped
- 2 scallions, chopped
- parmesan cheese, grated or shredded (optional)
- hot sauce or Tabasco sauce, to taste (optional)
- toasted pignolis or walnuts (optional)
- salt and pepper
- Cook pasta to al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, finely grate enough lemon zest to measure 1 tablespoon and squeeze 1 teaspoon juice (or more, to taste) Mince garlic.
- Cut basil into thin strips.
- Chop scallions and tomatoes.
- Toast and chop nuts.
- In a large bowl toss together all ingredients except for pasta.
- Check and correct seasoning, lemon juice, and amount of olive oil.
- When pasta is done, add it to bowl and toss with combined ingredients.
- Check and correct seasonings again.

I will definitely try this recipe again. If you do not actually toast the walnuts .. I threw them on to the surface of a hot cast iron frying pan and pushed them around until the oil started to emerge .. prep time is down to 10 minutes and that can be done while the pasta is cooking. I cut back on the pasta to just a handful, and treated the meal as a Solo Dinner.
Very nice combination of flavours. used one 375g box of whole wheat penne,2 chopped tomatoes and about 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan, 1/2 cup toasted walnuts and a dash of Frank's Red Hot sauce along with rest of ingredients stated. thanks Beth for a salad that I will most definetly make quite often.
This was so delicious. I loved the very garlicky dressing and I added lots and lots of toasted pine nuts. This is a salad/meal, and some nice crusty bread and fruit salad rounded off a delicious, healthy meal. Thanks.

Dear Manolo,
This series of polar vortexes has left me very disgruntled and cold footed. I need a pair of winter boots, and I need them right now. Can you please recommend something serious but with a little flair.
Manolo says, the Manolo has noticed that, thanks to the omnipresent hunt for the television ratings, we now live in the era of weather hysteria, when every dip or rise in the temperature, every summer shower or light snowstorm is greeted by the telegenic weather peoples as if it were the impending asteroid strike. The worst of the lot is the Weather Channel, which used to be the boring but sensible provider of climatological information, but is now in the mass panic business, to the point that they are giving names to the ordinary winter storms as if they were the hurricanes.
"Tonight as winter storm Attila the Death-Bringer hammers the area with up to two inches of concentrated white murder, and howling winds of fifteen miles an hours, temperatures will dip into the extinction event zone, falling below the point at which water, itself, ceases to flow, turning the tri-state area into a colorless wasteland of ice and death."
So, you get up early the next morning, eager to greet the end of the world, only to find that it is 26 degrees, and your neighbor Murry, who is so nice, has already swept the light-dusting of concentrated murder from the sidewalk with the push broom.
Here is the Cate the Great Deco from Sorel, the serious sassy winter boot that, for some reason, makes the Manolo smile.
Dear Manolo,
Recently, I've seen a lot of young women wearing flannel shirts and short lace-up boots. I love this casual look. Do you think that a woman of a certain age (me, in this case) would be able to carry this off?
Manolo says, it is true what the Manolo has long said, that the beautiful young peoples would look good in the Gareth Pugh burlap sacks and the Birkenstocks (which is indeed the recent trend). This is the one of the key principles behind the fashion show; that even the worst article of clothing, designed by the most untalented fashion hack, still looks good when worn by the super model strutting down the catwalk to the pulsating techno music.
But, do not be deceived. Those 1980s, retro-Madonna bib overalls, with the one shoulder strap artfully undone, which you saw being worn by the fetching gamin on the H Street are not for you, Respectable Lady of the Certain Age. For you, the instant you put on the stone-washed Big Smiths, and unbuckled the strap, you would look like one of the minor characters in the touring version of Li'l Abner goes to Washington, perhaps Aunty McMutton, or some such.
And this is why the Manolo cautions against adopting the trend of the short boots and the flannel, as appealing as it may seem. It is better to go with the more sophisticated lace-up, one that will better withstand the vagaries of fashion. Here is the Prance from the Donald J. Pliner, the tall croc-patterned riding boot with the lace-up fronts, something that would look smashing on the beautiful mature woman of taste.
Dear Manolo,
With the arrival of fall, I find I need some new rain boots for my weekend outings in the country. What do you recommend?
Manolo says, there is nothing more satisfying than going out in to the world properly shod, which is why the God invented the shoe closet, because the properly dressed person of style needs many, many shoes for the many, many different occasions and conditions.
By the Manolo's estimate, the well-dressed lady needs at the least 237 different pairs of the shoes and boots, although if one does much travelling or entertaining, then the number goes up the few dozen. Which is why the task of shoe shopping, like the grocery shopping, is never at the end.
Of the course, one can make do, if one must, with the far few pairs (say, 178) but only if one is prepared to show up at the various events improperly shod.
Happily, when it comes to the wellingtons, the Manolo believes you can get by with only the fifteen or sixteen different pairs. Although, if you absolutely must make do with only one, then there is only one that is worth the recommendating: the original tall boot from Hunter in the original green color. When it comes to standing outside in the rain, generations of horsey-outdoorsy-aristocraticy English women cannot be wrong. Hunter wellingtons are the best.
Dear Manolo,
Thanks to Congress and the President, starting this week, I have a lot free time on my hands. I've decided to go shoe shopping. I especially need new tall boots for fall. What do you recommend?
Manolo says, Ayyyy! To listen to the congress peoples shouting about the government "shutdown", it is as if the mega-major-super disaster had struck the nation, such as the tsunami, or the big earthquake, or that the volcano had violently erupted in the courtyard of the Smithsonian, burying the entire Capitol Hill in hot lava. (Although, according to the recent opinion poll, the Pompeii-ization of Congress enjoys the hearty approval of 97 percent of the American peoples.)
And this is why the Manolo is the monarchist, because the worst king is better than the best gaggle of politicians.
Imagine how much more pleasant the United States of the America would be if, instead of the incessant politicking, we could all relax, safe in the knowledge that our sovereign was, like Charles the II of England, primarily interested in hunting, wenching, and amateur theatrics.
No longer will we need pay attention to our odious political class, always shouting for our attention and insulting our intelligence. Instead we will have the dignified pomp and circumstance of proper leadership.
And yes, the Manolo has the perfect candidate to be acclaimed our first king; Jay Leno. He is tall, sufficiently genial, and already possessed of the impressive Hapsburg chin. What more is needed?
Here is the Loden from the 10 Crosby Derek Lam, the dramatic, over-the-knee boot that will be the perfect feetwear to usher in our new golden age. Manolo shouts, Long Live the King Jay the First!
Dear Manolo,
My brother's first cousin, a lovely and quirky woman, is getting married in a "steampunk wedding" (the invitation looked like a P.T. Barnum broadside). We've been encouraged to "dress in the spirit of the occasion". Please help.
Manolo says, the Manolo is of the two minds about the "theme" weddings. On the one of the hands, if the simple and heartfelt ceremony featuring the groom in his best suit, and the bride in the tea-length gown of modest cut was good enough for your grandparents – who have been blissfully wed for more than fifty of the years – then why is it not good enough for you?
And yet, on the other of the hands, if dressing up like the Captain Kirk and the green-skinned Alien Space Princess, and convincing your Presbyterian minister, Reverend Bob, to pronounce you "successfully beamed aboard" in the fake Scottish accent is your fondest wish, then who is the Manolo to stand in the way of happiness?
So, how does one "dress in the spirit" of steampunkery, which the Manolo sees largely as the cockeyed Victoriana accessorized with superfluous brass gears and top hats. To which the Manolo replies, just because you have been invited to the cannibal feast does not mean you have to wear the loincloth. Perhaps, all that is actually needed is the pair of retro-inspired shoes, yes?
Here is the Lover from John Fluevog, the mid-calf boot that is sufficiently outrageous so as to meet the requirements.
Dear Manolo,
I'm turning thirty the first week in October and my sister has booked an all day trip aboard a double-decker sightseeing bus for my family and I to celebrate the occasion. I normally live in sneakers but since I will be wearing a dress, I'll need something that's comfy yet durable with a feminine edge to it. Any suggestions?
Manolo says, ayyyy! Thirty is the new fifteen! Time to put on the party dress and the big girl, grown up shoes for the Quinceañera!
The curmudgeonly Old Man Manolo remembers when being the grown up was considered the desirable thing, seen by the teenagers as the magical time filled with such adult delights as the cocktail parties, black coffee and cigarettes, wearing the tailored suits, and talking knowingly about the Italian movies with the long and confusing dream sequences.
Now, all of the grown ups want to continue to be the teenagers, wearing the cutoff shorts, flipity-flops, and Justin Beiber t-shirts well into their sixties, swooning over the latest release of the Grand Theft Auto, and texting their homies down at the senior center about the Miley Cyrus twerking debacle.
The Manolo says, it is time to grow up. Time to embrace the joys of adulthood! It is fun to be fifty, and it is the most fun of all when you are just eighteen!
Here is the Borders from the Rachey Comey in the shadow croc finish, the sexy grown up bootie, perfect for wearing on the birthday party bus.
Dear Manolo,
Let us pretend for a brief moment that money is no object for me. What would you recommend in the way of ultra-chic booties for the fall?
Manolo says, oh to live in the world where the money is not the object! Where every morning you could be gently awakened by your ladies maid, O'Brien, Ph.D., quietly clearing her throat as she puts the diamond-encrusted tray containing the civet cat coffee from your hillside estate in Sulawesi down onto the solid platinum table by your carved ivory bed.
You would sit up, take the little sip, and then, eager to start the day, arise, throwing aside the brocaded duvet made from the single piece of natural silk, spun over the course of three years by your own silk worms, laboriously trained by your staff entomologists to work as the team of tiny weavers.
"What to wear, what to wear," you would ponder as you stood at the entrance of your 17,000 square foot drive-in closet.
"Might I suggest, ma'am," says O'Brien, pushing in the top drawer of the Louis XIV bombe chest where you keep nothing but the extra buttons that come with your custom-made clothing (and which was actually made by Louis XIV), "that you consider mink."
"Brilliant idea, Jensen, but white or black?"
"Brown, I should think, ma'am."
"Make it so, O'Brien," you shout, and seconds later Dr. O'Brien is bringing you your three-piece, brown mink Galitzine tunic and pant set, the one with the beading at the ankle, not the other one with the subtle stripes.
And if the money were the no object, and you wanted to be wearer of the most au courant, super fantastic booties, then you will need the Scarlett from the Isabel Marant.
Dear Manolo,
With fall fast approaching, I've begun to think about what I'm going to wear, specifically, I need a pair of fun boots for the weekends. Please recommend something.
Manolo says, it is never too early to think about what to wear for the coming season, or the coming year, or even the coming decade. Indeed, thinking about what to wear in the distant future is one of the Manolo's favorite hobbies, right next to reading the frivolous novels and taking the long naps in the late afternoon.
Although the Manolo is the unusual, quasi-obsessive case, thinking about what you will wear in the time of twenty years hence should occasionally be on the mind of every adult person of any good sense. This is especially true when the adult person is doing the shopping, when one must ask oneself the question, "Will I still be able to wear this thing in two decades?"
This is the two-fold question about the style and the quality. Is this thing classic enough to withstand the vagaries of fashion, and is it well-built enough to withstand the vagaries of time and usage?
Of the course, there are the categories of things for which this does not apply. Some things are meant to be worn the few times when you are young and lissome and then forgotten forever, such as the micro-miniskirts and the teeny bikini swimsuits.
Still, thinking about what to wear in twenty years time is generally the good practice.
Here is the Mannie from the Kate Spade New York, the classic ankle boot that will undoubtedly still be wearable in the year 2033.
What else? The desert boot, also know as the chukka boot.
This is the Branch from Base London, the smart-looking, leather dessert boot that will not only cover your man toes, but make you look like the respectable adult human, rather than the over-grown-adolescent couch surfer.
Here is one more choice…
This is the Gobi from Ikon, in the olive suede that the Manolo finds both handsome enough to wear around town on your various manly, grown-up adventures.
Both of these, and many, many others like them are the sort of comfortable, casual shoe that the man can feel good about slipping on in the morning and wearing through out the whole day.]]>
This piece of retro-Victoriana is the Vivianna lace-up, side-zipper bootie, from the Hush Puppies.
The Manolo found this at the Shuperb site, and is now showing it to you, not because he especially admires it, but rather because it is the powerful evidence that the old dogs can learn the new tricks.]]>

Fewer New Zealanders Expect House Prices to Rise, ASB Says
Fewer New Zealand consumers expect house prices to rise over the next 12 months as a slowing economic recovery curbs demand and prompts people to reduce their debt, according to a survey by ASB Bank Ltd.
Thirty-three percent of 2,835 people polled in October forecast prices will increase over the next year, down from 38 percent in an August survey, Auckland-based ASB said in an e-mailed report today. Those expecting prices to fall increased to 25 percent from 19 percent.
Declining confidence in a housing rebound adds to signs domestic demand will remain weak and a recovery won't accelerate until next year. Central bank Governor Alan Bollard kept the official cash rate unchanged at 3 percent in October citing a "muted" property market and is unlikely to increase borrowing costs until at least March, according to a Bloomberg News survey of 14 economists.
"Recent data shows signs of continuing slowing in housing activity," ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley said in the report. He expects prices will fall at least 3 percent this year and any recovery in 2011 will be slow.
House prices fell a second month in October while house sales fell 36 percent from a year earlier, according to Real Estate Institute figures on Nov. 11.
The number of consumers who said it is a good time to buy a house was little changed at 41 percent, ASB said today. Sixty-five percent of consumers surveyed by ASB expected higher borrowing rates while 3 percent expected declines.

Associated Press
BIRJAND, Iran — When many struggling families in this eastern Iranian city take stock of outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's legacy, it's not about the oratory full of bluster and menace or his tussles with Iran's ruling clerics that are known to much of the world.
What matters more here are the dusty rows of government-subsidized, two-story apartment buildings on the outskirts of the once-neglected outpost — testament to an effective populist outreach that has won the president millions of loyal backers in the provinces.
That support could give him influence beyond next month's election to pick his successor, underscoring how public opinion is relevant in Iran despite the heavy hand of clerical rule.
At first glance, Ahmadinejad may appear as a mostly spent political force. Damaging internal battles with the Islamic establishment over power and policies have left him so politically toxic in ruling circles that the possible leading candidates to replace him have all joined to ridicule his presidency.
But counting Ahmadinejad out grossly underestimates his most critical asset: A deep well of grateful and loyal supporters in hardscrabble places such as Birjand, a city of nearly 300,000 in wind-swept hills near the border with Afghanistan.
"May God bless Ahmadinejad," said Birjand taxi driver Ali Reza Farsi. "He is my hero."
While Iran's theocracy holds many levers in the election, including vetting all candidates and deciding who appears on the final ballot, public opinion remains a legitimate force in Iran. It gave pro-reform President Mohammad Khatami a landslide re-election in 2001 and unleashed its fury after claims that vote fraud brought Ahmadinejad back for a second term four years ago.
Now, it's Ahmadinejad's backers who could rattle the system. No previous Iranian president has left office on such bad terms with the ruling clerics. A cozy landing for the 56-year-old leader in the inner circle or as an elder statesman is highly unlikely. This leaves Ahmadinejad with his big political ego and his still-significant political base.
"There is no doubt that an Ahmadinejad loyalist is a tough challenger no matter what," said prominent political analyst Saeed Leilaz. "Conservatives and reformists would have to fight an Ahmadinejad loyalist, who has strong supporters in small towns and rural areas."
His main goal has been to get his chief adviser, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, on the June 14 ballot. But the chances that his protege, whose daughter is married to Ahmadinejad's son, would be approved are sharply dimmed because of his messy power struggles with the clerics.
The relationship worsened in 2011 with a dispute over the choice of intelligence minister. The atmosphere became so divisive that Ahmadinejad boycotted government meetings for 11 days to protest being overruled by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in all critical affairs.
Even without Mashaei on the ballot, Ahmadinejad has clout in other ways stemming from his policies funneling money and public works to long-neglected areas.
He could suddenly be transformed from scorned to courted by the front-runners, including a former nuclear negotiator, a top adviser for Khamenei and the mayor of Tehran, if they decide an endorsement from Ahmadinejad could bring in a potential voter windfall in the provinces
Or he could break away and start his own political movement, which could quickly become a serious force. Ahmadinejad cannot run this year because of term limits, but a comeback bid is possible as early as 2017.
The five-day registration period for candidates closes Saturday. The election overseers, known as the Guardian Council, will announce the handful of candidates on the ballot later this month. The list is expected to be weighted heavily toward establishment-friendly hopefuls. Reformists and liberal-leaning groups have been widely crushed and left leaderless after massive street protests following Ahmadinejad's disputed 2009 victory.
