There is always some kind of exciting charity event or party for us soap stars to attend, and regardless of the occasion, most of our daytime stars sport a cool Young Hollywood style to which they each add their own unique twist. I love to find inspiration and ideas from actors whose personal sense of style has really caught my eye.
One of my favorite dressed actors this month is Darin Brooks (Max Brady on NBC's "Days of our Lives"). Darin has a great edge to his classic style that makes him a stand out. He can dress up a pair of jeans like no one's business!
One of Darin's signature looks is the classic menswear ensemble of a white button down shirt with a black blazer and black boots. It's clean, classic, chic and perfect for dinner with friends or red carpet premiere. What I love most about Darin's style is his selection of hats, especially Fedora's, that give his outfits a fresh take on a classic look. While hats used to be an everyday occurrence for men when dressing to go out, most guys nowadays can't think past the baseball cap. Proving that hats are a simple way to make a man look ultra chic without even trying, Darin's selection of headwear really adds distinction and personality to his wardrobe and turns a simple outfit into a one-of-a-kind look when he struts his stuff on the red carpet.
Don't you just love a rugged, masculine man who knows how to look glamorous? I love that Bogart-esque, 40's feel that is not only classic, but the perfect combination of old and new that Darrin's style emulates perfectly. When he styles it up, he is definitely someone you want to look twice at….o.k. maybe three times. Button vests with a great fitting shirt, tie and jacket are a must. This combination gives a man great shape in the shoulders and waist and accentuates his build. If you don't know where to shop for your man, take one of these photos with you into your favorite men's store and you will be good to go!
To get Darin's look shop for:
*Dark jeans
*Crisp white button down shirt
*Well tailored blazer
*Stylish hat – Fedora's are a no-fail purchase
*Fitted vest and tie
My other latest fashion crush? Farah Fath (Gigi Morasco on "One Life to Live," formerly Mimi Lockhart on "Days of our Lives"). Farah is no nonsense when it comes to fashion – a sophisticated beauty, she exudes style that is very sexy and vivacious. At the Soapnet's "Night Before the 2008 Daytime Emmy Awards," Farah was wearing one of my favorite outfits of the evening -- A high-waisted pencil skirt dress that gives her such a long line and accents all the right curves. This look has survived the test of time and will never go out of style. Whatever height or body type you are, a sleek pencil skirt can give your body an amazing silhouette. The kind of style that Farah has embraced exudes class and grace and will stop traffic when you hit the street. A master at a great fit and great lines, Farah proves that sophisticated simplicity is sexier than revealing a lot of skin.
Another feature of Farah's look which I must point out are her HOT shoes!! The simplest and most important factor to completing an outfit is shoes. The sexier the shoes, the higher the sizzle factor, as any "Sex in the City" fan can attest. With this ensemble, Farah added a shoe with a lot of height and a bit of color and texture, and boy, are they gorgeous. Brand name doesn't matter, you can find great shoes for any budget – online stores like Zappos are a great resource as are discount stores such as DSW.
To get Farah's look, shop for:
- Well fitted pencil skirt – Not too tight. Too tight will make you look cheap.
- Sky high heals with an ankle strap. Fun colors or faux animal skin always work and are more versatile than you might think.
- A feminine blouse with a fitted (but not skin tight shape)
- Structured clutch
Do's + Don'ts
In fashion, there are a lot of do's and don'ts. But really it all comes down to this -- DO wear the things that make you feel most comfortable and accentuate your best assets (although if you have a lot of assests to choose from, focus on one or two at a time). You are unique and your style should reflect that.
DON'T wear things that you hesitate buying or wearing the second you put it on. If you are second guessing yourself, so will everyone else. Confidence is Style! Fashion is constantly changing and so are you, so pick things that reflect your personality and who you want to be in the moment. There's always tomorrow!
Thanks to Darin and Farah for setting such wonderful fashion examples for all of us! Happy Strutting!!

Date 2013-09-12 09:09:31 Location : Asia:China
Spirit Kids Royal English is a well-established English language training center that provides language learning to children aged 2-12. Our company HQ is in Guangzhou, but we have franchises and affiliated kindergartens all over China. We are rapidly expanding and therefore always on the lookout for new teachers. At the moment we employ more than 20 international teachers, and we have over 2000 students enrolled. We are ranked as TOP 10 Young Learners English training school in China.
We're also interested in qualified Teacher Trainers.
We believe that children best learn in a positive and stimulating environment where they are treated as learners, but also as: still children. That is why our successful teaching builds on communicative teaching methods that incorporate many elements of game play, physical movement and activity: children learn best through enjoying themselves! But while we believe in a warm, inclusive classroom atmosphere, we also expect a lot of our learners, and we help them set specific goals. We believe that in educating children, the aim is for child, teacher, school and parent to reach these goals together.
- Teach English lessons in coordination with Chinese teaching assistants.
- Prepare lessons.
- Review children's work and progress. (including speaking, writing, reading and art work)
- Occasionally take part in your school's extra-curricular and social activities.
- Team-work with your fellow teachers.
- Take part in the training seminars we offer our teachers in order to enhance and develop their professional teaching skills.
- Or are you looking for a position as TEACHER TRAINER? If you are we can offer you:
- 250.000 RMB yearly salary.
- As a Teacher Trainer you will: be able to give excellent demo lessons, have proven experience in training teachers, be able to train others to school standards, be flexible and willing to go on short business trips outside Guangzhou/Guangdong.
Our requirements are as follows (we don't require you necessarily tick all the boxes, the single most important aspect of you and of our candidate selection is that you truly enjoy working with children):
- You must be a native speaker.
- You will be a strong candidate with 1 years (or more) teaching experience.
- Applicants with a TEFL qualification (CELTA/TESOL) or a BA degree are preferred.
But we cannot stress enough that at Spirit Kids we always welcome any candidate that loves children and isn't afraid to take centre stage!
For successful candidates with limited teaching experience we provide a thorough and developing pre-teaching training.
- Thorough support and assistance with coming to China from the moment you express a willingness to come work with us, to the moment you're safely installed in the accommodation we help you choose.
- 12 months contract.
- 13 teaching hours per week. (additional hours and pay also available)
- Basic salary of RMB 8.500-11.000.
- We provide work visa during the period you're working for us.
- A term bonus (paid at the beginning of each new semester) for all teachers.
- The airplane ticket and a housing allowance is a possibility, depending on experience and work location (We'd like to offer housing allowance for experienced teachers who are working as the 1st. teacher in our franchises).

It's mid-day in downtown Monrovia and Mohammed Kromah and his friends are mobbing a busy intersection, jumping up and down and shouting at passing cars.
Down the street where it's quieter, Kromah explains that the boys — all in their mid-20s and all former combatants from Liberia's 14 years of civil wars — are just trying to attract customers for a car wash, to help them survive on the country's still-mean streets.
Kromah fought with former Liberian president — and warlord — Charles Taylor and the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) and later an opposition faction, United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy (ULIMO-K). He was among those who went through the United Nation's disarmament and reintegration programs but those projects were short-lived and inadequate, he says.
Begun as a peace-building effort after the bloody wars of the 1990s, they were meant to reunite the often illiterate child soldiers with their families, educate them and address their deep psychological problems. But critics complained that they failed to help the combatants and their families to gain adequate education, jobs or stability.
Instead, thousands — like the destitute car-wash crew — ended up drug-addicted, crime-prone and on the streets. While the perpetrators who stole their youth have largely gone unpunished, the former child soldiers continue to pay. Many end up behind bars for petty crimes like stealing a few chickens.
Taylor was arrested in 2006 and tried in The Hague. He is accused of responsibility for atrocities in neighbouring Sierra Leone, and a verdict is due Thursday. But a guilty verdict would mean little in the way of justice for Liberians.
There, the men and women who filled the highest ranks of the conflict's many factions have moved into business or politics, and enjoy comfortable lives free from fears of prosecution.
"We are so frustrated," said Maxwell "Target" Sackor, a friend of Kromah's. Sackor is a former fighter for Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD), a faction notorious for its recruitment of child soldiers.
"We've tried armed robbery, but we felt that was not good for us. So we left armed robbery and we went to the street and tried stealing, but that wasn't good for us. So we brought ourselves to wash cars."
Kromah admitted that he's addicted to heroin, a habit he said he picked up during the conflict. "Most of us are involved in drugs," he lamented. "It's like the war is still punishing people."
During Liberia's civil unrest that lasted from 1989 to 2003, Kromah and Sackor were never more than low-level fighters in civil wars that were characterized by anarchic brutality. According to a 2009 report by the country's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 250,000 were killed in violence that included widespread forced conscription, looting, torture, rape and cannibalism.
Yet the only individual ever charged for Liberian crimes is Taylor's son, Chuckie, who was arrested and tried by U.S. authorities for violations of American law.
Those who have prospered after accusations of heinous crimes include Prince Johnson, now a senior senator for Nimba County.
The former leader of a Taylor-allied faction will forever be known best for the video tapes you can still buy in Monrovia's markets that show Johnson ordering President Samuel Doe's ears cut off after capturing him when he tried to flee Liberia following a 1990 coup. As Doe bleeds profusely, Johnson raises one ear to the camera and places it inside the begging man's mouth. Doe is then executed.
Johnson lost a power struggle with Taylor and was forced to flee Liberia — but he returned, re-entered politics and ran against current Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in 2011.
More recently, he was standing before a life-size reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper at a school he was building for secondary students.
"Which country has ever had a most-notorious war criminal ever get third place in a democratic electoral process?" he asked. "Is that a notorious criminal? . . . Not in the eyes of the Liberian people."
Alhaji Kromah, a professor at the University of Liberia, lauded Johnson for his contributions to post-war reconciliation.
"You've had people, since the war, who have continually corrected or improved their ways," he said in his office in Monrovia. "Prince Johnson became an evangelist. He didn't pick up arms again; he went and taught the democratic process to his people."
Like Johnson, Kromah — a co-founder of ULIMO and later the breakaway ULIMO-K — argued that it is the country's so-called "warlords" who have maintained peace in Liberia.
"All the former warring faction leaders have run for political positions, at one time or another," he noted. "And nobody has gone back to the bush. Why can't we praise this as an achievement for the whole country?"
Liberian President and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Ellen Johnson Sirleaf seems to agree. This month, she appointed Kromah ambassador at large for Liberia's ministry of foreign affairs.
Roland Duo, a former general with Taylor's NPFL, joined the Office of the National Security Adviser. And earlier, George Boley, the former head of another faction allegedly responsible for gross human rights violations, walked free in Monrovia after he was deported from the U.S. under the Child Soldiers Accountability Act.
Frances Greaves belonged to the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace, a group whose 2003 sit-ins are credited with playing a central role in ending the conflict.
She now heads Voice of the Voiceless, a faith-based women's group, and questions what message Liberia's "culture of impunity" sends to future generations.
"Do we want to say that wrongs are right?" she asked, adding that a lot of Liberians are against this culture of impunity. "Many people fear that because of this, we will continue to have civil wars."
Aaron Weah of the International Centre for Transitional Justice believes that those responsible for the worst atrocities will one day be brought to justice.
"The issue of prosecution in Liberia is all about timing," he maintained.
"It is about what is possible now and what could be possible in the near future. Right now, there is a climate of impunity prevailing, and the warlords are appreciating that because they feel protected under that climate. But for how long will they be shielded?"
Young Liberians, maimed during the conflict, are also wondering.
"I lost my mother, I lost my father in the war," says Joseph Dewy, 33, who fought for Taylor. "And after the war, no education, no training."

So much for Oprah and Harry Potter
- By Daniel W. Drezner
Daniel W. Drezner is professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and a senior editor at The National Interest. Prior to Fletcher, he taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Drezner has received fellowships from the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Harvard University. He has previously held positions with Civic Education Project, the RAND Corporation, and the Treasury Department.
The American Academy of Arts & Sciences has developed a Humanities Indicator prototype to track the state of the arts and humanities over time and compared to other countries. The inspiration appears to be the National Science Board's Science and Engineering Indicators.
Some of the more interesting findings from their press release:
- Among Western industrialized nations, the United States ranks near the top in the percentage of highly literate adults (21%) but also near the top in the proportion who are functionally illiterate (also 21%).
- Since the early 1970s, the number of Americans who support the banning of books from the public library because they espouse atheism, extreme militarism, communism, or homosexuality decreased by at least 11 percentage points. 26% of the public would support banning some type of book. In the case of books advocating homosexuality, the decline was 20 percentage points.
- The number of American adults who read at least one book in the previous 12 months decreased from 61% to 57% in the decade between the early 1990s and the early 2000s. The greatest rate of decline (approximately 15%) occurred among 18-to-24-year-olds.
That last data point provides a nice cautionary note about the dangers of extrapolating from pop culture trends. Given that the early part of this decade was the peak of the Oprah Book Club and the Harry Potter frenzy, I would have guessed a different trend line.

1 onion, diced

To the hot oil add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring often for about 2 minutes until the onion softens making sure the garlic does not burn. Add the curry, and cumin and cook another minute. Add the coconut milk, water, apricots and agave and sriracha season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the chicken back into the pot,bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 45 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Would this work with boneless chicken breasts?ReplyDelete
Also, can this be made Thursday night and reheated for friday night dinner (in the oven?) Would you suggest keeping the sauce and chicken separate, then combining prior to reheating?
This certainly could work with chicken breasts thought you would have to cut back on the cooking time. Reheating is no problem ,in fact, it will be even better. You can heat the sauce with the chicken together.ReplyDelete

Just to follow up....ReplyDelete
I made this with approx. 2.5LB's of chicken breast, that I pan seared, then added the sauce. I followed the sauce recipe as stated above. It was AMAZING! Got RAVE reviews from our Shabbat guests, reheated beautifully and enjoyed by all!
I served this over a mix or Near East curry cous cous mixed with plain cous cous.
It did need some color, so I garnished with a little dried parsley.
Thanks for the feedback! So glad you enjoyed! Would probably be delicious with boneless, skinless chicken thighs as well.ReplyDelete

This poem brings up many conflicts. It's talking about a redeemed soul, brought to Christianity.
But there is something off when you dig deeper. Black slaves may have been converted when brought to America, but they faced persecution on other fronts. They became objects, captured in Africa, forced into crowed ships, shuttled across the Atlantic, and then were expected to work hard labor, facing cruel AND unusual punishments or even death if they resisted. The picture this poem paints is incomplete. It doesn't sound like a black slave. The perspective is twisted, presenting the transportation of Africans to America as only an act of religious redemption.
The question is, why did blacks need the basis of religion to be considered worthy of whites' acknowledgement?

Evolution of the Internet
The Internet of Things is the current stage of the World Wide Web we are currently in. The IoT refers to the network of physical things embedded with sensors and data-collecting software that enables these things to share data. The Internet of Things allows the physical world to be interconnected to the virtual world in every aspect. This integration allows everyday items to be more precise, as they can access the World Wide Web. This constantly evolving form continues to grow and grow every day.

How To Separate Fact and Fiction Online
Markham starts off the talk with a view of how transmitting news has changed from something very slow to instantaneous transmission. Talking about an earthquake that struck in 2012, "The ground shook in Managua 60 seconds after it hit the epicenter. 30 seconds later, the first message went onto Twitter." He comments on the fact that news and 'news' are transmitted across the world in a matter of seconds nowadays. The job of a journalist is to sort through and find the real, engaging stories amongst the muck. Mr. Nolan then describes the extent of a few of his team's searches to authenticate pieces of news. As opposed to the time he started journalizing, "there's a greater abundance of information than there ever has been, it's harder to filter, we have greater tools." There is a wealth of information, but it takes much more to analyze.
I had never given very much thought to this side of news stories. I read them, and never give any thought to the journalists who produce them. I was born in the era of instantaneous transmission, so I don't get the experience of seeing the transition that he describes. Now that I've seen this, I can begin to understand the struggle of clarifying the fact from the fiction. This talk really makes you broaden your horizons and think about the producers of news articles, and that the message they carry is one that wasn't just given out. The journalists have to work for their stories.

Meet The Dazzling Flying Machines of The Future
In this TED Talk, Mr. D'Andrea demonstrates just how far drones and autonomous systems have come. He shows off five different kinds of autonomous drones: a tail-sitter, a mono-spinner, an omnicopter, an extra-safe quadrocopter, and a swarm of micro-quadcopters. With each demonstration, Raffaello explains the process and benefits of each of the self-controlled machines. Each drone has a different way of flying independently, and each has an interesting quirk. With every machine taking off into the air, you can see just how advanced this technology has become.
Drones, especially self-controlled ones, have always interested me. From the time the Wright brothers first got off the ground, people have wondered how far flight could go. Nowadays, we see it as no major marvel that we can send people into space, or that we have powerful planes flying overhead. With developments such as these, I am in awe of this technology. The best part, however, is that Mr. D'Andrea didn't even scratch the surface of applications for this technology. There are so many ways these machines could be used, and that is wonderful.

Journal of a Refugee Ch. 9-10
On May 3, the UN decided to try and evacuate some refugees and I from the Mille Collines. The plan was to escort us to the airport and get out of the country. That was the plan.
We pulled out of the Mille Collines parking lot with an armed escort. I had no political connections, but Paul managed to 'obtain' one for me. The evacuation started out good, with no sign of the militias for several yards. Then it all turned downhill. We pulled up to a roadblock at Cyimicanga, and were stopped by both the Interahamwe and the Army. We were ordered out onto the roadside, and that is when things went from bad to worse. Chaos broke loose. They started beating and cutting us. I can't say I got the worse of it, but my arms were cut up bad and I had bruises all over my body. Somehow the UN got us out of there and back to the Mille Collines. The worst of us were cared for as well as the limited doctors could. Even after that, the militias didn't stop, there was a grenade shot into the wall of the hotel, I wasn't there, but my friends heard and felt the explosion. The UN atrempted and succeeded in a second evacuation, but I was not part of it. I had lost my faith in the UN. It was quiet after that, until the day the Interahamwe entered the hotel.
It was the day that Paul was not at the hotel. He always seemed so calm and composed. When he was gone, the Interahamwe entered the hotel and forced everyone to the pool. Everyone, to my knowledge, except for me. I managed to evade them by hiding in a bathtub. When I knew they were gone, I stealthily crept over to a window facing the pool. What I saw convinced me that all humans have a dark side, no matter how well-hidden. The killers had the refugees lined up in rows and columns. I believed I was about to witness the term 'genocide' in bloody actuality. That is, until Paul showed up, I would like to say that he stopped the killing with a saving military force, but it was with one of his contacts, an Army general who I previously thought was passive to the genocide. He somehow disbanded the band of slaughterers, and we never saw them again. Finally, the UN pulled an all-out evacuation of everyone, with proper escorts this time. I have never felt the need or urge to go back to the place where I was sheltered during an outbreak of the worst side of humanity.
While most of the people I knew were dropped off with the RPF, I was taken straight to the UN base. When they asked me what I wanted to do, the only thing I told them was, "Anything but Rwanda." For the first time, the UN responded instantly, and got me a flight out of Rwanda to Tanzania. I managed to scrape together a living for myself, working as a store clerk, and I am content as I can be, but I am not happy. I can no longer be happy when I have seen things that no man should. I have never revisited Rwanda, since there is nothing left for me there. All my family was killed during the genocide, and I had no other relationships. I have tried to forget what happened, but my nightmares won't let me. All I want is to move on from that terrible time. I have left Rwanda behind, and never looked back. I no longer think of myself as a Tutsi, but as a Tanzanian. I came out of that dark time a changed man. I can't complain, I have been rather successful coming back from the killings. Of that I don't deny. But they have changed me. I have grown numb, I have become apathetic to little things. It may not be healthy but I don't care. That is how I deal with my history.

Father Wenceslas Munyegeshaka:
I used to be a priest. That was until the genocide started. Though I am still a man of God in title, I am no longer a holy man. I used to have a thriving flock. Then the murderers took them away.
Some people question my moral ethics and me. Paul, of the Hotel de Mille Collines, sticks in my mind especially. He wondered why I let the killers in my church all the time. To tell the truth, it is to save my own skin. I don't want to die. I plan on surviving this genocide. I will not sacrifice my life for other people. When this whole thing started, I let myself believe that the killers weren't killing the Tutsis they took from me. I don't delude myself anymore. People in Rwanda are killing their neighbors for no reason other than prejudice.
I can't lie to myself anymore. I've tried to distance myself from the murder and violence, but I can't disguise it anymore. I brought my mother, a Tutsi 'cockroach', to Paul. No matter how much I feign indifference, I still care greatly. I'm glad Paul understands. He didn't question me, he just accepted. I want to change what I can do, but I've already dug myself into a hole. All I can do is hope that nobody else comes to me for shelter. I have signed myself over to the killers by not resisting. I have resigned myself to indirectly working for the killers, by not stopping them. If I don't bend to their every whim, they will kill me. I can't escape the cycle. All I can do is hope the killings are over soon.

Journal of a Refugee Ch. 6
I've been hiding out in the streets of Kigali for a while now. I used to have a normal life, working in a supermarket. Back then, life had order. I would wake up, go to work, and socialize with normal, sane people. Now, I hid from the same people, who are lurking everywhere, waiting to kill me. I've heard stories of other survivors, who just barely escaped a massacre. He was sheltered with UN soldiers, until they were evacuated. The trucks had just barely disappeared when the Interahamwe started killing left and right. I've managed to avoid them thus far, and I don't plan to give up now. I've heard that Paul Rusesabagina, the manager of the Hotel de Mille Collines, has been taking refugees. I've slowly been making my way across town to get there.
I've finally made it to the Mille Collines. I'm worried. I feel like the mere illusion of safety here will be shattered very soon by the killers that lurk beyond the fence. Even in the face of chaos, Paul manages a hotel well. He's devised a genius way of dragging out the supply reserves. The water may be discolored, but it's water. Paul somehow makes the days seem normal, with common structure and function. I don't know how long this will last, but I enjoy the normality and flow of these days. Even with the genocide raging around us, we find a way to survive.

Until the day breaksand the shadows flee, turn, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the rugged hills. —Song of Solomon 2:17
Have you ever told the Lord no out of fear and weakness when He asked you to do something for Him? Just as He did with the maiden, the Lord calls us out of our comfort zone that we may become mature disciples who live for His pleasure and purpose.
Father, forgive me for the many times I've said no when You asked me to do something for You. I want to be mature, to have a constant yes in my spirit to the things You want me to do and be.
Just like the maiden in the Song of Solomon, I have sometimes
refused the Lord's fresh challenges by telling Him to go leap
on the mountains or go and conquer areas of darkness without me.

TECHNOLOGY; Tech Barons Take On New Project: Energy Policy
By MATT RICHTEL
Published: January 29, 2007
President Bush set broad goals last week for the adoption of alternative energy. Hoping to take on the role of filling in the details is an unlikely group: Silicon Valley's technology investors.
These venture capitalists, backers of giants like Google and Genentech, have traditionally been free-market advocates, favoring ideas and innovation over government intervention. Now they are heading to Washington on a crusade to influence energy policy because they have a big stake in the outcome.
The investors in recent years have poured billions of dollars into alternative energy start-ups in areas like solar and wind power or the production of fuel for cars from feedstock and crop waste. Many of these projects, they say, could stall without subsidies or government mandates for greater energy efficiency.
These barons of the new economy are not new to politics, though their interest in energy places them in a powerful spotlight. And it puts them in conflict with the oil and gas industries, which are more politically potent and have far deeper pockets.
''It's very different from the business world, where you come in with a good idea and leave with a deal,'' said Mark Baldassare, research director for the Public Policy Institute of California, a nonpartisan research group. The question, he said, is whether venture capitalists ''have the patience to be part of the political process.''
The venture capitalists say they have earned political credibility through their track record of creating jobs and technological change. However, if they are to translate their formula for innovation successfully to the world of energy, they say, they need the government to be, in effect, an investment partner.
The message to politicians is that ''you have to create a playing field to make it possible for us to back these companies,'' said Nicholas Parker, chairman of the Cleantech Group, a research and trade organization representing venture investors in alternative energy.
In recent months, venture capitalists have met with most of the ostensible 2008 presidential candidates, members of Congress, and officials in the Bush administration and the Energy Department, pushing their ideas for things like tax subsidies and efficiency requirements.
With President Bush's State of the Union address emphasizing alternative energy, and with the ascension of Democrats, who are less aligned with oil interests than the Republicans, the time might seem right for Silicon Valley to speak up.
Mr. Baldassare and other political analysts said the venture capitalists could become a powerful part of the realignment of energy politics. They are lending a new voice to the debate, one that politicians are likely to listen to given the investors' reputation as smart backers of next-generation companies.
''They're responsible for huge chunks of economic activity,'' said Ken Cook, president of the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization, noting that the investors are also major potential donors. ''If they choose to get the ear of Congress, they can do it more and more, and they're just waking up to that.''
Yet the venture capitalists have already been handed one stinging defeat.
In November, California voters rejected Proposition 87, which would have taxed gasoline and used the proceeds to back alternative energy. The initiative enjoyed much voter support at first, but it was defeated after a $100 million lobbying effort by oil companies portrayed the venture capitalists as greedy seekers of tax subsidies who wanted to burden the state with bureaucracy.
''There's a lot of money on the other side, a lot of power and influence,'' Mr. Baldassare said.
Lobbyists for oil and gas companies spent $59 million in 2005, compared with the $2 million spent by venture capitalists, said the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit Washington group that tracks campaign contributions and lobbying.
The venture capitalists say that their research and lobbying helped with the creation and passage of a California bill that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law in September, capping the state's greenhouse gas emissions at 1990 levels by 2020.
When it comes to supporting alternative energy sources, the venture capitalists are backing up their words with money. In 2006, venture capitalists put $727 million into 39 alternative energy start-ups, compared with $195 million in 18 such firms for 2005, according to the National Venture Capital Association.
More than a third of the 2006 investments went to technologies related to ethanol, a gasoline alternative that is made from corn and other plant material. Mr. Bush has high hopes for ethanol and other alternative fuels, calling for them to take the place of 35 billion gallons of gasoline by 2017.
One venture-backed ethanol start-up is Altra, a 50-employee company based in Los Angeles. It offers a twist on ethanol production by making the fuel from nonedible plant matter, producing what is known as cellulosic ethanol.
Altra's process can create ''large volumes of fuel with significantly lower emissions than gasoline, and in a fashion that does not compete with the food supply,'' said John Denniston, a partner at the Silicon Valley investment firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers. The firm invested an undisclosed amount in Altra as part of a financing round that raised $50 million, Altra said.

|Ebook Synopsis
These are the adventures of Sam, Jake and Dylan, three degenerate losers who live together on the 42nd floor of Hazy Towers, the worst apartment block in the known universe. At least their landlord, Mr Hayes, is such a spineless weasel of a man that they have never had to pay a single cent of rent. Still, government handouts only buy so much toast, and the boys are always on the lookout for a crazy way to make a buck.
Sam, Jake and Dylan Want Money is written by Australian comedian and fantasy author Sam Bowring, whose other books include the Broken Well trilogy ('the stuff of fantasy writer's fantasies' - AurealisXpress), and the Strange Threads duology ('utterly mesmerising - Courier Mail).

Good Cigar for the Money
Just Another Jim on 07/03/15
I'm not an aficionado. My goal is to find the most inexpensive cigar with decent flavor and that has consistently good construction. While the Upmann is a bit more than I like to spend, very few sticks in the box fall apart or have bad draw. For my inexpensive tastes, this cigar is in the sweet spot

Good, But No Cammy Taste
Yaspar Kyashred on 07/05/15
I bought these because I really like Cameroon wrappers, and while they are fine cigars, they lack any of the tangy citrus and floral flavors I associate with the Cameroon wrapper. They are solidly built, smoke real nice, and have a straight-forward tobacco flavor. Some draw better than others.

Runway Redux: Fashion Trends Galore
Julianne Moore looked fresh-faced and preppy at the Lacoste show on Saturday. Kevin Connolly from HBO's "Entourage" was there too. The theme was "le Weekend" and models looked like they were about to hop on the Jitney to East Hampton. Popular trends that popped up at many of the shows included jumpsuits, overalls (say it ain't so!), and suspenders. A more fitted, tailored look was also featured. At Nicole Miller, models donned bowler-style hats with crisp white shirts and long A-line skirts. Popular colors included winter whites, tan neutrals, rich plum, green and teal. The fitted look at Nicole Miller was paired with a print that was inspired by the Mayan tones of Latin America. Her collection featured a chulucana graphic print that was used in ancient pottery, to provide an exciting backdrop for coats, skirts and gowns. All in all, it's a return to tailored sophistication.

It's 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing. Something's happening in the world……
That recent advertisement by Sen. Hillary Clinton was designed to reassure the public that Clinton was more seasoned to handle a sudden military threat than younger Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama.
Maybe the ad should really be asking: Which of the three likely presidential candidates — Clinton, Obama or Republican Sen. John McCain — is best prepared to handle that 3 a.m. call for an economic crisis?
Because we seem to be slip-sliding toward one, given the Bear Stearns collapse, Federal Reserve emergency bailout of Wall Street, super-weak U.S. dollar, oil prices stuck over $100, gas prices heading to $4 per gallon, a weakening job market, an astonishing federal deficit, a high-priced Middle East military commitment, escalating home foreclosures, along with rising food prices, energy bills and educational and health expenses.
Let's not forget consumer confidence. It fell to a five-year low in March, prompting Merrill Lynch economist David Rosenberg to suggest "consumers are on the verge of the worst downturn since the 1970s."
So John, Hillary and Barack …it's 2:59 a.m. and that phone may soon be ringing for you to help us all through a tough economy. Got any inspired ideas?
McCain gets pummeled unfairly for his "I don't know much about economics" remark. More disturbing is McCain's recent inconsistency, first by embracing a hands-off government from business and saying homeowners facing foreclosure have themselves to blame. Later, he tells another audience he'd help troubled homeowners and reduce regulations to kickstart lending again.
He's the least articulate on how to minimize the nation's pain and time spent in an economic downturn.
Clinton would freeze foreclosures for three months and any interest-rate resets on adjustable-rate mortgages, and let the Federal Housing Administration buy the houses of people whose mortgages are bigger than the value of their homes. That's all inviting to those who are struggling, and clearly buys some time, but it sure is thin on more substantive fixes.
Obama may simply have better financial advisers because his recent recommendations — while hardly startling — possess a more practical streak. He recommends beefing up the power of the Federal Reserve, establishing a "financial market oversight commission" to get a better grip on Wall Street risks, committing $40-billion to aid troubled borrowers and ending income taxes for retirees making less than $50,000.
Paul Volcker — the 6-foot-7 former Federal Reserve chairman — is someone I watched first hand in Washington in the late '70s and early 1980s as he wrestled (and beat) the highest U.S. inflation rates in generations. He's backing Obama, not simply for his proposed solutions to our economic woes but because Volcker sees in him the potential to restore at least some sorely needed faith in government, especially among young people.
That's one vote for rising confidence and for things to come well beyond our financial malaise.

A POLICE force has appointed the country's first full-time rural liaison officer who plans to help farmers cut down on countryside crime.
PC Kevin Hall, 36, has been appointed to the role with Durham Constabulary.
He plans to communicate with farmers and rural communities in County Durham and to be a focal point for their concerns about crime.
He said: "About 80 per cent of the force area is rural and it incorporates many farms.
"We know there is a perception among farmers that we don't devote the same amount of resources to them that we do to urban areas.
"Some believe that as a result of the police resources in urban areas, thieves have been pushed out into the countryside where they can operate knowing there will be less of a police presence."
PC Hall wants to develop Farmwatch schemes to help to reduce rural crime. There are seven Farmwatch schemes in the Durham police force area with 1,600 members.
He will also meet farmers on a quarterly basis along with Durham's Chief Constable Mike Barton to discuss any concerns.

We need to repeal the Energy Policy Act (PL 109-58) of 2005. Here's why:
* Corn hit an all-time high this year, above $8 a bushel. This compares to less than $2.50 a bushel in 2005.
* Ethanol uses 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop, yet it converts to only 6.5 percent of the country's 140 billion gallon gasoline supply.
* Bloomberg says food inflation will rise 4.5 percent in 2013 (the U.S. Department of Agriculture says 3 percent to 4 percent.) This will be a hardship on low-income families.
* The Energy Policy Act was enacted in August 2005, when there was an oversupply of corn, not a shortage, as now. This law has outlived its usefulness. Because of the Environmental Protection Agency and the ethanol mandate, corn has been in tight supply for several years now.
* Prices were already high when we had a severe drought in the Midwest. A repeal of this outdated law will have an immediate impact in bringing down corn and soybean prices and in bringing down food inflation.
Stop turning our food into fuel. Instead, turn food waste and other sources into biofuel. The U.S. has plenty of natural gas. This law doesn't make sense anymore. Write your congressional representatives.

In November 2009, Maine voters rejected the state's then new law legalizing same-sex marriage, but more than a year removed from that vote, voters are now narrowly in favor of legalizing these unions once again. 47% want gay marriage to be the law, and 45% oppose it being legal. The quarter of voters who claim to be independents overwhelmingly support same-sex unions, 56-37, along with 71% of Democrats, but 21% of Democrats and 77% of Republicans prefer the status quo, keeping the margin close.
As in most places across the country, only senior citizens, those over the age of 65, resist change, rejecting progress by a 38-50 margin. Pluralities to slim majorities of every other age group favor same-sex marriage--51% of those under 30 and even 50% of voters between 45 and 65, who make up a 44% plurality. The youngest bracket is only 6% of the electorate, and the oldest 20%, so right now, those most opposed are more than three times as numerous at the voting booths as those most in favor. We're seeing this trend everywhere we poll the issue. Public opinion has been pretty rapidly changing over the last few decades, and eventually, as with every other civil rights issue in the past, the tide will turn as the more socially inclusive younger voters become the bulk of the electorate.
New Governor Paul LePage is considerably more popular than his predecessor, Democrat John Baldacci, who had a 2:1 disapproval-approval margin in PPP's final poll before the 2010 election (29-58). But LePage is still underwater with Maine voters, not getting much of a honeymoon at all. 43% approve, but 48% disapprove of his job performance so far, putting him in almost as bad shape as polarizing Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and ousted Ohio Governor Ted Strickland in recent PPP polls of those states. Independents are down on LePage, 38-50, and slightly more Democrats disapprove than Republicans approve.
LePage still is pretty popular with Republicans, though, so throwing his weight behind Olympia Snowe in the primary could help her survive with the Tea Party voters that pushed him to victory last fall and who now are hungrily searching for a truer believer than Snowe.
Maine's junior Senator Susan Collins is not quite as popular as her senior colleague, Snowe, but is still one of the country's most popular senators with her constituents. Collins has a 56-34 approval-disapproval ratio, up a bit from a few months ago. Like Snowe, Collins is more popular with Democrats than even independents, and certainly better liked than by her own party. Republicans approve only 48-42, but Democrats and independents give Collins almost identical 61-30 and 60-30 margins.
In terms of voter perception, Collins and Snowe really are RINOs. They may still vote to the right of every Democrat in the Senate, but they've got to be the only politicians who almost split their party down the middle and are overwhelmingly embraced by everyone else. Looking at these numbers, you can practically feel Republicans shunning them and Democrats and independents beckoning them away from the GOP.
Rep. Mike Michaud, the senior of the state's two congressmen by three terms, has a 54-28 favorability margin statewide, better than his colleague Chellie Pingree's 45-39. Both are Democrats. Michaud does so much better because while roughly three-quarters of Democrats like each, Michaud has a 30-49 margin with the opposite party. Pingree, like most politicians, polarizes the two parties, and also does not quite match Michaud's very healthy 57-24 with independents, getting only 47-33.

Indianapolis south side gang members charged
Fourteen people, some of them teenagers, face charges in connection with gang activity.
The investigation started in April 2012 when residents complained to police that alleged gang members were attacking people unprovoked, circling them and physically assaulting them. There was also a Fourth of July brawl that prompted a police investigation.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry announced charges Wednesday against members of the Problem Child Gang and Fountain Square Boyz. The prosecutor's office says both gangs operate in the Fountain Square area.
The charges range from B felonies to A misdemeanors, and include criminal gang activity as well as corrupt business influence. It's the second time that the proseuctor's office has ever utilized the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute against gang members.
The prosecutor's office says the Problem Child Gang was involved in batteries, robberies, gun crimes, narcotics sales, and graffiti. According to the probable cause affidavit, gang members are required to commit felonies in order to join and stay in the gang.
Five of the eight alleged gang members are 17 years old or younger. They are being charged as adults.
The Fountain Square Boyz gang members are charged in connection with a July 4th fight involving neighborhood teenagers. The two gangs have an ongoing feud, and members of the Fountain Square Boyz attacked some teenagers believing them to be members of the Problem Child Gang. The Fountain Square Boyz are also alleged to have involvement in batteries and intimidation.
In June 2011, the city announced charges against members of the Pop It Off Boyz, an east side gang known for violence. That resulted in 47 charges and sentences up to 20 years. Gang member Anthony Shockley will go to trial later this year for the June 2011 murder of Clayton Battice.

More Nanoxia and Computex news, this one is about another Deep Silence case the DS4. This case is similar to the others in the series but this one is smaller and made for M-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. In the case you can fit two 5.25" devices along with 6 HDDs or SSDs. The case has two 120mm fans pre-installed with room for either a 140mm or 120mm fan at the top of the case.
The Deep Silence 4 is the smallest case of the Deep Silence series so far. Due to the intelligent design it can nevertheless be fitted with high-end gaming systems.
Even though the case is compact, it's fully soundproofed and equipped with a bunch of awesome features. The case is designed for Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboards. Decoupled mounting of the hard disks and the PSU, anti-vibration case feet, toolfree mounting of the optical drives and a 2-channel fan control are included.
In order to make this case as versatile as possible, it offers two modular HDD-cages. With the fixed 1-bay cage, you can thus mount up to six 2,5/2,5" HDD/SSD in the compact gaming case. With all HDD-cages in place, you can fit in VGA-cards of up to 265 mm in length. By removing the modular cages, you may install graphic cards with a maximum length of up to 395 mm.
In the Deep Silence 4 a 120mm radiator can be mounted behind the front panel after removing the top two HDD cages. If needed, another 120 mm radiator can be installed at the back of the case. For external water cooling systems two rubber hose guides are available.
The cooling system is designed for low system temperatures as well as the best possible cooling capacity. Two 120 mm fans are preinstalled, one each at the front and the back of the case. Another 120/140 mm fan can be installed under the top cover.
A short video presentation from the Computex of the Deep Silence 4 can be found under this link.
Stay tuned for more stuff tomorrow…

One of the small (but very important) changes I made this week was replacing the kitchen faucet.
Previously we had a brushed nickel single hole faucet that didn't actually work very well.
Not only was the finish coming off, the spray vs. stream button didn't work and the pull out hose no longer retracted.
It just hung there like a limp noodle. Not cool.
After pulling out the old one, I was left with a single hole in the granite.
This didn't leave me with a lot of options. I originally wanted this Danze Faucet, but at $400 plus the cost of drilling a second hole in my granite, it wasn't going to happen.
Instead I settled on the Price Pfister Hanover.
This is the same faucet I mentioned in my earlier post. I liked the more traditional look, dark finish, one-hole installation, plus it came with a tiny pricetag ($130.) Danze makes a very similar model, but it was nearly triple the price.
Installation was a breeze, less than 10 minutes and I had a brand new faucet!
One more kitchen project down.. only a few more to go!


text: I am implementing this Album art feature people have mentioned. I have no experience with this. What format are the album images stored in? Where are they generally located and what are they generally called. I want mine to work in the same standard format everyone follows. Is it just an "album.jpg" inside every album folder or something similiar?

Loft-style hotel coming to Durham's American Tobacco Campus
Posted September 23, 2013
Updated September 24, 2013
Durham, N.C. — A new loft-style hotel is coming to Durham's American Tobacco Campus in spring 2015 as part of the historic district's ongoing redevelopment and restoration efforts.
Aloft Durham Downtown, owned by Raleigh company Davidson & Jones and part of the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. hotel group, will house 134 loft-style rooms, an outdoor pool, a bar, a 24-hour gym, private parking and more than 2,200 square feet of flexible meeting space.
The hotel will be located at the intersection of Blackwell and Vivian streets, near the Durham Performing Arts Center and Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
"The leading-edge design and social vibe offered by our Aloft brand is a terrific match for the revitalized American Tobacco Historic District, an exciting, mixed-use complex that has helped accelerate the redevelopment of downtown Durham," said Brian McGuinness, senior vice president of specialty select brands for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, in a news release.
The Aloft brand currently operates 75 hotels around the world. Aloft Durham Downtown will break ground later this year and is scheduled to open in May 2015.
The American Tobacco Campus, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year, is owned by Capitol Broadcasting Company, WRAL's parent company.
Vice President of Real Estate Michael Goodmon said Capitol Broadcasting also plans to expand the Durham Performing Arts Center and has acquired two nearby historic buildings at the campus, which have been renovated to contain numerous apartments as well as retail and office space.
"Since the rebirth of the American Tobacco Campus almost ten years ago, we have envisioned a complete experience with a full array of services and attractions," Goodmon said in a news release. "While the vision to develop a one-of-a-kind destination has always been there, we've spent countless hours looking for the right plans and partners. By partnering with globally acclaimed Starwood Hotels & Resorts and respected regional powerhouse Davidson & Jones, we're ready to create an environment worthy of dynamic Durham and the Triangle."

One made Heinz Field home for more than a decade. The other made sure that house ran smoothly.
Steelers great Hines Ward and Jimmie Sacco, executive director of stadium management at Heinz Field, will be honored at the 77th Annual Dapper Dan Dinner & Sports Auction, presented by BNY Mellon on Feb. 6 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
Ward will be honored with the Dapper Dan Lifetime Achievement Award, and Sacco will be awarded the Dr. Freddie Fu Sports Leadership Award. Dr. Fu, who helped found the UPMC Center for Sports Medicine, received the sports leadership award earlier this year.
Ward, 36, played 14 seasons for the Steelers before retiring prior to the 2012 season. He finished his career with 1,000 catches, 12,083 receiving yards and 85 receiving touchdowns -- all team records. He won two Super Bowls, earning MVP honors in Super Bowl XL, and was named to the Pro Bowl four times.
And, for good measure, he won the TV reality competition "Dancing with the Stars" in 2011.
"Being selected for the Dapper Dan Lifetime Achievement Award is a big honor for me," Ward said. "I know there have been a lot of great winners in the past and to have my name mentioned among them is truly special to me. It's very humbling for me, and I am grateful to the folks at Dapper Dan for giving me this prestigious award."
Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher will present Hines with the award at the ceremony. Cowher was Ward's coach for nine seasons.
Since retirement, Ward has worked as an analyst for NBC Sports doing pre-game reports for Sunday Night Football.
Sacco, 57, started working in the city's sports industry as an usher at Civic Arena. After graduating from Robert Morris University, Sacco worked in the sports, entertainment and concert industries before eventually being hired by the DeBartolo Corp. to help manage Civic Arena.
Later, he was hired to manage Three Rivers Stadium before moving to Heinz Field with the Steelers.
"I'm fortunate," he said. "I've been able to stay in my hometown. I've got two Stanley Cup rings and two Super Bowl rings. It's only a dream come true for someone who loves this town, loves sports, loves entertainment."
Many in his industry are forced to move around from city to city with the ultimate goal of returning to their hometown. "I've never had to leave," he said.
Sacco said he looks to Eddie DeBartolo, Denise DeBartolo York, Paul Martha, Dan Rooney, Art Rooney and countless others in the city as his leadership mentors.
Tickets for the 77th Annual Dapper Dan Dinner & Sports Auction can be purchased by visiting www.post-gazette.com/dapperdan or calling 412-263-3850. Prices are $150 for general seats and $250 for premium seats. Tables of 10 can be reserved for $1,500, and premium tables of 10 can be reserved for $2,500. A cocktail reception and silent auction begins at 6 p.m., followed by the dinner and awards ceremony at 7 p.m.
Proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania youth sports and education programs.Steelers - sportsother

SALT LAKE CITY — On Thursday night, the Salt Lake Bees didn't give their fans much to cheer about as they were blasted 13-2 by El Paso.
Their two runs, however, did come in an unusually exciting fashion.
When a batter bunts it's usually a showcase of selflessness, a sign that a player is willing to sacrifice himself for the betterment of the team. Though that may have been the intention of Vance Albitz and Shawn O'Malley when they entered the batter's box in the fourth inning Thursday, they showed that a bunt doesn't always have to be a sacrifice.
Trailing 5-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Salt Lake had men on second and third base with Albitz up to bat. The second baseman placed a bunt that ended up in no man's land between El Paso's pitcher and right-side infielders. The perfectly placed ball not only scored Salt Lake's Roberto Lopez, but it allowed Albitz to reach first base with an infield single.
The Bees weren't done with the small ball.
O'Malley entered the batter's box next and knocked a bunt down the third-base line. O'Malley, who has been clocked in the 40-yard dash at 4.5 seconds, was able to beat the throw to first and collect his 16th bunt single of the year. The back-to-back bunt RBI singles raised the Smith's Ballpark crowd to its feet, but the exciting small ball turned out to be the only rose among many thorns.
When El Paso jumped on Salt Lake starter Wade LeBlanc, it was just the start of an ugly night for the Bees' pitching staff. Salt Lake gave up 17 hits and a season-high 12 walks as the Chihuahuas ran, or in this case walked, away from the Bees.
LeBlanc lasted just 3 2/3 innings after giving up eight hits and five runs, but the El Paso offense wasn't halted when Bees manager Keith Johnson turned to his bullpen.
The Chihuahuas batted around their lineup in consecutive innings in the sixth and seventh, scoring four runs in each and extending their lead to 11 runs to coast to victory.
El Paso 13, Bees 2
In short: The Bees pitching staff issued a season-high 12 walks, helping El Paso to an easy 13-2 win Thursday night.
Up next: El Paso at Salt Lake, Friday, 7:05 p.m.

The theatre impressario with a genuine love for all things Everton has been a club director for 20 years. Most of that time has been spent in the LFC shadow. Kenwright is the face of Everton and, to his ever-lasting credit, invested in the club when no-one else wanted to. On the other hand, he confounded many fans by selling Wayne Rooney and proposing "Destination Kirkby."
Arguably, Kenwright's continued presence on the board had served to legitimise the Johnson regime until he bought out his nemesis in 2000. To do so, he relied massively on investment from Paul Gregg. Then, inexplicably, their spat over the King's Dock project raged for another year. Kenwright recruited David Moyes but failed to finance the club's ambitions. Most recently he has sought to sell his ownership.

Unbelievable! Plenty of comments about offshore designed and built items, but how's about at least a couple of words about Zu Cable, of Utah. Do you feel their products aren't "high end"? Do they not pay for advertising? Is their main speaker, the $3,400.00 Druid, too cheap for you to consider amongst all of the $50,0, 600 lb monsters that receive blog space? Come on, folks. A review of their little phono cartridge is not sufficient!
Microsoft's Strange Sense of Humor
Microsoft wanted to talk to me about its Windows Home Server division—and I wanted to hear what they said because I was impressed last summer at the company's commitment to making its Home Server software as simple as pie.
But the first thing Todd Headrick wanted to show me was a children's book called Mommy, Why is There A Server in the House? by "Tim O'Connor, Ph.D."
Good one, MS!
Actually, Microsoft is very serious about the home server concept and is about to introduce Powerpack 1, which will add a bunch of fervently requested features. "Who requested them?" I asked.
Headrick said, "Users—and some of the most fervent beta-testers were MS employees, who are pretty computer literate, but our motto in the server division is no acronyms, no mysteries—so we pushed back hard on the features that would make home servers harder to use. That dynamic—then pushing, us pushing back—has helped us figure out which features really improve the experience."
(This sounded a lot like open-source software to us, where users generate much needed improvements through forum participation and, sure enough, MS has a Home Server Forum.)
Like what? "Access from anywhere to your home server and a customer experience improvement program that really offers some spectacular benefits—like trusted SSL certification that keeps your data secure."
Microsoft now has over 15 Home Server vendors, from small companies like Tranquil to giants like HP.
We believe in credit where credit is due and Microsoft's Home Server initiative is a great idea that just keeps getting better every time we check in on it.
I can't answer for other Stereophile writers, bt I haven't writen about Zu because I haven't beeen in their room. No mystery, just te reality of a big show and a small staff. Sorry to bust a conspiracy theory
Were Zu Cable exhibiting? I couldn't find them in either the Show Guides for CES or THE Show. I did write about Zu in my report from the 2007 RMAF, BTW: http://blog.stereophile.com/rmaf2007/101307zu .

Spanish striker Fernando Torres [2] has won the Euro 2012 [3] Golden Boot award after scoring his third goal against Italy [4] in the final.
Spain, who won by a margin of 4-0 [5], chose to start without a striker in the showpiece event in Kiev, with Cesc Fabregas playing in the 'false nine' position.
But Torres scored the champion's third goal to win the award despite finishing level with a host of players, courtesy of having one assist to his name, News.com.au.
Torres only started in one of Spain's five matches at the tournament, against Ireland, when he scored twice.
He was replaced by Fabregas, and later by Alvaro Negredo against Portugal as Spain experimented with their line-up.
Torres end-of-season successes come after a disappointing campaign in the English Premier League. (ANI [6])
