TAX FIGHT: TWO STEPS BACK -- Jake Sherman and Manu Raju write in the hometown paper: "Congress took a collective step backward in wrapping up a bitter year of legislating, as President Barack Obama's top priority over the payroll tax holiday became mired in a battle over unrelated, partisan issues. House Republicans jammed through a version of the payroll tax bill Tuesday evening that calls for construction of the controversial Keystone KL oil pipeline, scales back an air-pollution rule, cuts Obama's health reform law and reduces the length of unemployment benefits. It was largely a message vote — the GOP bill is dead on arrival in the Democratic Senate and faced a veto threat anyway — but it sets the stage again for a final, frenzied bout of deal making that has defined this divided Congress. The House bill, which passed on a largely party line 234-193 vote Tuesday night, would extend the current 4.2 percent payroll tax rate to 160 million Americans, preventing a roughly $1,000 annual tax increase for many families starting Jan. 1.
--"While Republicans felt emboldened by the victory, Democrats planned to kill it in the Senate, forcing the two parties to cut a deal that also would pave the way for a $1 trillion appropriations bill to fund much of the government past Friday. How much each party will budge remains to be seen. But there was evidence that the two parties were growing further apart on Tuesday. The White House threatened to veto the House bill over what it called "ideological issues" and domestic cuts called for by Republicans. Senate Democrats said they'd push forward with a surtax on millionaires to pay for their plan, an idea the GOP has repeatedly rejected. And many House Republicans have said that they've already compromised enough, given that many were dubious about the Social Security payroll tax break to begin with." http://politi.co/uPhzOF
-- The Washington Post's Rosalind Helderman and Felicia Sonmez write that the tax impasse could indirectly lead to a pre-Christmas government shutdown. "The increasingly contentious tax dispute threatens to derail what had been an emerging compromise on separate legislation to fund the government through next September, raising the specter of a possible government shutdown this weekend if the conflict is not resolved by Friday." http://wapo.st/uchGcv
AN EMAIL FROM THE SPEAKER'S OFFICE – 5 reasons the GOP is on offense at the end of the game:
1) House has passed a bill - Unlike Senate Democrats, Republicans, along with ten House Dems, have passed what the President asked for. We have the moral high ground. And every day the Senate fails to pass a bill, ours starts looking better and better.
2) The President allowed the fight to shift from his terms to ours - When he objected to the Keystone pipeline, a project with broad bipartisan support in both chambers, the debate shifted from the payroll tax and UI to energy policy - an issue that we have owned.
3) Democrats' plot to block funding for the government isn't sustainable - It's crystal clear who is threatening a shutdown and holding funding hostage: Democrats. And, meanwhile, appropriators in both parties and chambers aren't going to sit by and allow arguably the most bipartisan bill of this Congress, the minibus, to be blown up in an ill-conceived attempt to gain leverage on an unrelated measure.
4) Democrats haven't coalesced around a unified line attack on the House bill. Objections to spending cuts that have been fact-checked as fictitious and meaningless charges of playing "political games" just aren't credible.
5) Democrats have no plan - It's becoming evident that the reason no one knows Democrats' next move is because they don't know themselves. And after months of partisan attacks, they shouldn't count on Republicans to bail them out of the box they're in.
BONUS: House Republicans are energized. The Conference office is amping up its booking operation, with members on TV and radio calling on the Senate to act. And the White House's own tax hike clock is being turned around on Senate Democrats.
-- Speaker Boehner will likely touch on some of these points today at POLITICO's Playbook Breakfast. Outside cameras are welcome: Boehner will give his frame for 2011, and a sneak peek at his 2012 agenda. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. While everyone's getting seated, we'll go behind the scenes of the Capitol Hill beat during an onstage conversation with POLITICO's Jake Sherman. http://www.politico.com/livestream ... #PlaybookBreakfast
INOUYE'S DILEMMA -- POLITICO's David Rogers catches up with the Senate's top appropriator about what's at stake in the last spending fight of the year: "Yards from the finish line but frozen in place, Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye described himself Tuesday as torn between his loyalty to the Democratic leadership and the massive $1 trillion-plus year-end spending bill he has spent months assembling. Better than anyone, the Hawaii Democrat captures the dilemma posed by the new White House-backed strategy of slow-walking the appropriations measure this week to put pressure on House Republicans to come to the table on President Barack Obama's top priority — an extension of the payroll tax holiday. 'I hate to put it that way because that is not how I do business,' Inouye told POLITICO. 'I just hope that we're here to handle both of them. That's the leadership role. That's out of my pay scale.' 'We're not at the point where I can sign the paper," he said of the pending conference report. "But we are close to it.'
--"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) mocked the majority's tactics: 'The Democratic members of the Appropriations Committee in the Senate have been instructed by the president and the majority leader not to sign the conference report. … Why don't they sign it? They've already agreed to it.' But across the Capitol, Inouye's famous calm was a stabilizing force, and he reached out to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) to assure him that their negotiated agreements would hold." http://politi.co/u13j4X
TWITTER TRAFFIC -- How Sen. Chris Coons's (D-Del.) spokesman reacted to Christine O'Donnell endorsing Romney -- @iankoski: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@MarkWarner: It's a start: 61 senators share bipartisan "Secret Santa" gift exchange. Warner's gift from Mike Johanns (R-NE)? An Energizer Bunny.
@MarkWarner: "Mark never stops," Johanns said. "He's got endless energy, so I thought that would be entirely appropriate." - staff
-- The Washington Post's Ann Gerhart captures some great details about the Senate gift exchange here: "Lumps of coal were big. And there was an empty popcorn box, which may, a source said, have been re-gifted. Those were among the more self-aware gifts swapped Monday night, when the U.S. Senate added a Secret Santa clause to its tradition of peculiar protocols and observations. Between votes on ambassador confirmations, 39 Democrats and 22 Republican senators ducked into the Mansfield Room and poked through large piles of wrapped presents, looking for their name tags. Sen. Chuck Schumer was so delighted with his carved-coal donkey and elephant figurines that he showed them off to everybody he ran into. He quickly figured out who his Secret Santa was: The riddle with the five-inch statues said, 'With an eight percent approval rating, both Democrats and Republicans in Congress deserve to have coal in their stocking this year. Lucky for us, my state has more than enough to go around.' Thank you, Joe Manchin, from the great state of West Virginia! 'It was pretty funny,' said Manchin in a phone interview, 'seeing all these grown men and women — U.S. senators — looking for their gifts. It was a really neat little thing.'" http://wapo.st/te4zn5
SOLYNDRA FACES GRAND JURY PROBE – POLITICO's Darren Samuelsohn reports: "A grand jury has been investigating Solyndra for at least two months, according to billing records from the law firm defending the bankrupt California solar company. Solyndra retained K&L Gates as it faces a federal criminal probe into its handling of a $535 million loan guarantee from the Energy Department. According to an 18-page document that K&L Gates filed Friday with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, Solyandra attorneys have been in contact more than two dozen times with the U.S. Attorney's Office, as well as the FBI. The K&L Gates invoice — detailing $146,037 in fees charged by the Bay Area law firm — refers multiple times to its attorneys dealing with a grand jury. The first mention comes at an Oct. 9 session when Jeffrey Bornstein billed Solyndra $384 in part for reviewing a grand jury subpoena." http://politi.co/sgOV5P
TOP AIDE LEAVING, HOYER STAYING PUT -- Jake "Fast Break" Sherman and John Bresnahan report for the hometown paper: "Terry Lierman, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer's chief of staff, is leaving Capitol Hill, the second top staffer to leave Hoyer's office recently. Lierman will be replaced by Alexis Covey-Brandt, who currently runs Hoyer's floor operation. Covey-Brandt has been with Hoyer since 2003. The staff departures have raised some questions in top House Democratic circles about Hoyer's future within the Democratic Caucus, although the 72-year-old Maryland Democrat insists that's not the case. 'There ought to be no implication that I'm doing anything other than running for office, that's not why he's [Lierman] leaving,' Hoyer told reporters during a regular weekly press conference." http://politi.co/vcsUqL
--Here's more on Covey-Brandt: Covey-Brandt, a graduate of Bethesda's Walt Whitman High School and Haverford College, has been working as director of floor operations for Hoyer. She started as a staff assistant in Hoyer's office in his first stint as minority whip in 2003. Her boss noted that Covey-Brandt has "been through almost every chair in my office." But Huddle remembers when she actually sat in a chair OUTSIDE Hoyer's office -- at an overflow desk in a third-floor Capitol hallway. Colleagues say her strong relationships with Democratic members, Republican House aides and Senate staff make her invaluable to Hoyer. (h/t Jon Allen)
--Lieman will continue to serve as the treasurer of Hoyer's PAC and his campaign committee. He's leaving to start a health care venture capital firm.
BUT HOYER IS GETTING A CHALLENGER -- "Maryland House Minority Leader Anthony J. O'Donnell (R-Calvert) plans to launch an uphill bid Wednesday for the 5th Congressional District in which he will argue that long-time incumbent Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) is part of what's wrong with Washington," Aaron C. Davis and John Wagner write in the Washington Post. "'We acknowledge it's a tough district,' O'Donnell said in an interview Tuesday, "but people feel like America is on the wrong track, and people want to change that. ... Our campaign will be unlike any Congressman Hoyer has experienced in the past 20 years. This isn't my first rodeo.' O'Donnell, who has served in the House of Delegates since 1995, is one of the state's highest-ranking Republicans and among the most credible candidates the party could field against Hoyer." http://wapo.st/uXUHxR
BLUNT IS BACK -- "Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt is returning to the ranks of leadership," I write for POLITICO. "The Capitol Hill veteran, who once served as House majority whip, edged out tea party Sen. Ron Johnson Tuesday to become vice chairman of the Republican Conference, the No. 5 Senate GOP leadership spot. The vote was conducted by secret ballot, though two Senate sources said it was 25-22. Despite fervent backing from conservative grass-roots activists, Johnson failed to overcome establishment support for Blunt, who benefited from past leadership experience and personal relationships cultivated during his 14-year run in the House. … The close vote for conference vice chairman was a stinging defeat for the tea party, which had launched a public campaign and applied outside pressure to senators in a bid to win a seat at the leadership table for Johnson, a Wisconsin plastics manufacturer and political novice."
-- In two separate uncontested races, GOP senators elected Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as chairman of the Republican Conference and Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming as chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. The reshuffling of the leadership team was prompted by Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander's decision to step down as head of the Republican Conference, the No. 3 job." http://politi.co/uYscYb
HUDDLE TAKE: TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT – Jonathan Allen emails: Mitch McConnell won his proxy war with Jim DeMint with the squeaker of a vote that put Roy Blunt in the conference vice chairman's seat instead of Ron Johnson. But the 25-22 final score suggests McConnell's not as influential as he might like to be. It's something to keep an eye on.
--The Washington Post's Felicia Sonmez posts a transcript of the conversation Blunt had with reporters after his big W: http://wapo.st/uUe1kX
ERICKSON CALMS DOWN -- For a battle for the conservative soul, RedState's Erick Erickson is taking his candidate's loss surprisingly well: "Senator Blunt is a fine guy, but he is decidedly on the side of the old guard that has shown a lack of initiative and ideas. The election is a trust testament to the need to support Senator Jim DeMint's Senate Conservatives Fund and I hope is a strong signal to Senator DeMint and each of you that our work is not done and we must continue challenging incumbent Republican Senators in primaries. … On the bright side, I suspect Mitch McConnell and the old guard just created a new super hero conservative in Senator Ron Johnson who will be a thorn in their side." http://bit.ly/t38Y4N
CLASS WARFARE: PELOSI VS. RICHARDSON -- POLITICO's Jonathan Allen and John Bresnahan report on a heated exchange between the two California Democrats: "Class warfare erupted in a House Democratic Caucus meeting Tuesday, as Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's personal fortune was thrown in her face by a junior colleague angry about a proposal to freeze the pay of members of Congress. Rep. Laura Richardson attacked Pelosi for endorsing the GOP-written pay freeze during a Tuesday caucus discussion of a possible Democratic amendment to the payroll tax cut, according to several sources who were in the room at the time. … The sources disagreed on the exact wording of the unusually direct shot at the party leader, but Richardson's sentiment was clear: Pelosi, who is worth at least $40 million, doesn't need the money as much as some of her colleagues, and she should have consulted with them before deciding to protect the GOP-written pay freeze. It was 'something like 'Well I am sorry, Madam Leader, but some of us are not in the financial situation you are in,'' said one source. Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) jumped in to contend that members should be willing to take a pay freeze as part of a bill that is blocking raises for other federal civilian workers. But sources said it was one of the most tense intra-party changes in recent memory. 'Pelosi was so pissed off,' said one senior Democratic aide. 'Richardson looked like a buffoon, like 'I need my money.'' http://politi.co/ueT3LV
RUBIO, DNC IN WAR OF WORDS -- "Sen. Marco Rubio on Tuesday abruptly canceled a meeting with a high-level State Department official after learning that Democrats had described his vote Monday against the ambassador to El Salvador as an insult to the Puerto Ricans he represents in Florida," McClatchy's Erika Bolstad writes in a piece that appears in the Miami Herald. "The Senate failed to get enough votes Monday night to take up the nomination of Mari Carmen Aponte, who has been serving on an interim basis as ambassador to El Salvador. The White House lashed out at Republicans for blocking the vote, calling their move Monday night one that played "politics with America's national interests."
--"In a call Tuesday afternoon, Hispanic leaders accused Rubio and other Republicans of abandoning fellow Hispanics. Aponte is the first Puerto Rican woman to serve as a U.S. ambassador. But she has a complicated past — a former boyfriend was accused of being a Cuban spy. The FBI cleared Aponte, who later received two top security clearances, but not before the chatter scuttled her 1993 nomination by President Clinton to serve as ambassador to the Dominican Republic. 'Once again, one of the victims of this political agenda here in Washington, D.C., is someone who is very qualified and happens to be a stellar member of the Latino community,' said Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., in a call put together by the Democratic National Committee. 'Most of us are not only disappointed but angered to see politics played at the expense of someone who is so capable.'
--"A spokesman for Rubio said the Obama administration was playing 'ethnic politics,' and said the Florida senator would abandon efforts to work with the administration on Aponte's nomination. She's been serving as the ambassador to El Salvador since mid-2010, when President Obama appointed her during a recess. Rubio's spokesman, Alex Conant, said he didn't know why the DNC was 'injecting itself into serious policy discussion on issues of democracy and the western hemisphere.'" http://bit.ly/s5NGoe
--A source inside Rubio's office said progress was being made before the DNC call. After the failed cloture vote Monday, Rubio had personally talked to Majority Leader Harry Reid and Aponte, and spoke by phone with top White House aides Pete Rouse and Cecilia Munoz on Tuesday. "We have subsequently canceled [Wednesday's] meeting and are through discussing these pending nominations," the source said.
-- But a Democratic operative familiar with the DNC call tells Huddle the call was about the GOP filibuster of Aponte, not Rubio. "He already voted no -- what's left to negotiate? He's voted against the interests of Hispanics at every opportunity and he should own that," the operative said. "Instead of crying when he's called out, Rubio should try standing up for Hispanics on issues they care about."

TODAY IN CONGRESS – The Senate's in at 9:30 a.m. and holds votes around 10:45 a.m. on two constitutional balanced budget amendments, proposed by Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.). Neither plan will clear the required two-thirds threshold, and Roll Call's Humberto Sanchez calls today's votes "a futile exercise that nevertheless is required by the August debt deal." http://bit.ly/sT6ffS.
The Senate also could vote on the defense authorization conference report and the House-passed payroll tax package.
The House is in at 10 a.m. with first votes expected between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. and last votes between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. The House will take up the defense authorization conference report, and could vote on up to 10 bills under suspension of the rules.
AROUND THE HILL -- At 8 a.m., Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.) speak on energy security at the Ripon Society Breakfast at The Monocle, 107 D St. NE. At 11:30 a.m., Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) speak about deceptive voter practices in the Senate studio. At 2:30 p.m., Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) releases an addendum to his Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report on repatriation, 269 Russell. At 4 p.m., House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer and the Danish foreign minister hold a photo op outside H-144.
ISSA HITS OCCUPY, STIMULUS -- Rep. Darrell Issa must be eligible for an award of some type for becoming the first conservative politician to find a way to attack both the Occupy movement and the stimulus in one fell swoop. "Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is demanding an explanation for why the Obama administration allowed Occupy DC protesters to camp in a park that was recently rehabilitated with $400,000 in federal stimulus funds," Tim Mak reports for POLITICO. "... According to the letter, the stimulus-funded rehabilitation included new grass, concrete curbs, refurbished benches, new light poles, water fountains, and new paint - some of which was damaged by camping. In particular, Issa charges that the National Parks Service (NPS) allowed the protesters to 'kill newly planted grass that was funded by the stimulus.' … The Interior Department told POLITICO that it was reviewing Issa's letter and was committed to upholding First Amendment rights." http://bit.ly/sH1Gja
CORZINE BOMBSHELL – POLITICO's Seung Min Kim reports from the hearing: "Former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine on Tuesday acknowledged "embarrassment" that his failed brokerage firm misplaced as much as $1.2 billion of customers' funds — but he stuck to his contention that he had no knowledge that it was happening. Facing his second round of questioning on Capitol Hill in less than a week, Corzine, a Democrat, sat before the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry — which includes some of his former colleagues from his time in the Senate — largely echoed his arguments from last week's grilling before a similar congressional panel.
-- "But a top executive whose firm operates financial markets and monitors MF Global's trading activities indicated later that Corzine may have known about loans that were being made with customers' money. Terrence Duffy, executive chairman of the Chicago-based CME Group, testified one of CME's auditors heard an MF Global employee discussing a $175 million loan to a European affiliate, and the employee said 'Mr. Corzine is aware of these loans,' according to Duffy. The revelation surprised even the lawmakers on the panel, with Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) telling Duffy: 'You just tossed a bomb here.'" http://politi.co/sLD7uV
STEVENS ALLIES DEMAND APOLOGY – "A bipartisan group of senators is calling on the Justice Department to apologize to the family of the late Sen. Ted Stevens and fire the attorneys accused of the withholding of evidence that contributed to his criminal conviction. The former colleagues of the long-serving Alaskan Republican told The Hill that the DOJ's prosecution of Stevens was a disgrace. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), a close friend of Stevens's, said DOJ handled the case against the former senator 'vindictively' and recommended the disbarment of the attorneys responsible for the botched trial. Hatch said the failure of the prosecutors to turn over key evidence was 'the lowest' level of law and indicative of a hunger to convict powerful politicians even in the face of conflicting testimony." http://bit.ly/vQF3Wo
POSTAL SERVICE PUSHES BACK CUTS -- The Associated Press reports: "The U.S. Postal Service on Tuesday agreed to delay the closing of 252 mail processing centers and 3,700 local post offices until mid-May. In a statement, the cash-strapped agency said it would hold off on closings by several weeks to give Congress more time to pass legislation that would give it more authority and liquidity to stave off bankruptcy. The Postal Service, which is expected to default Friday on a $5.5 billion payment to the Treasury, is forecast to lose a record $14.1 billion next year." http://icp-c.com/rEF2CZ
--Fifteen Democratic senators blasted a joint news release and took credit for the delay. "There is no doubt that the Postal Service as we know it today has to adapt, but I think a better solution exists," one of the senators, Majority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, said in a statement. "The Postal Service has given Congress five months to act. It's now up to us to move forward with comprehensive legislation that does not jeopardize the best postal service in the world."
HOW COMMON IS CONGRESSIONAL INSIDER TRADING? -- In a Boston Globe op-ed, professors from MIT and the London School of Economics question the emerging consensus that it's a regular practice: "Our own analysis of congressional investment portfolios suggests that Congress's critics are greatly overstating the extent to which politicians profit from their investing activities. … [I]nstead of cherry-picking suspiciously well-timed trades, we recreated the entire stock portfolio of each member and conducted a systematic financial analysis of their performance as investors. We found that members of Congress generally perform no better than ordinary investors. Over the 2004-2008 period, the stock portfolio of the average member of Congress underperformed the market by 2 to 3 percent per year. Put another way, in a five-year period during which the market lost around 20 percent of its value, the average congressional portfolio lost over 30 percent. Even individuals whom Schweizer singles out for suspicious trades would probably have been financially better off if they had replaced their stock portfolios with a passive index fund." http://b.globe.com/uW0T3l
THE WORST -- In case you were wondering, the American people's low approval of congress hasn't shifted recently: "In the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 42% of those polled judged the first session of the 112th Congress 'one of the worst' in the 222-year history of the institution. Another 33% said it was 'below average,'" Patrick O'Connor writes for the Wall Street Journal. "... Meanwhile, a minuscule 2% said the current Congress is "above average," and 1% deemed it "one of the best." Both numbers are within the poll's 3.1 percentage point margin of error." http://on.wsj.com/vSr6eD
ESPN ANALYST ENTERS TEXAS SENATE RACE -- Anna Tinsley reports for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "ESPN analyst Craig James may be the latest Texan to jump into the race to replace Kay Bailey Hutchison in the U.S. Senate. James, who said more than a year ago that he was considering a Senate bid, is expected to file paperwork by Thursday, joining more than a half-dozen other Republicans in the race, including Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, former Solicitor General Ted Cruz and former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert." http://bit.ly/vl9pOE
NEW PA. MAP SHOULD SOLIDIFY GOP GAINS -- "Republican lawmakers unveiled a proposed map Tuesday of Pennsylvania's 18 new congressional districts. It was swiftly criticized as an attempt to protect members of their own party," Angela Coloumbis and Thomas Fitzgerald write for the Philadelphia Inquirer. "The proposed new district for U.S. Rep. Pat Meehan (R., Pa.), in particular, was singled out for its zigzag shape, which Democrats alleged was drawn to excise Democratic areas in favor of more solidly Republican ones." http://bit.ly/w1LMxF
--In the Inquirer story's fifteen paragraphs, Meehan's district is compared to roadkill, an oil spill and a monster.
--Alex Isenstadt, writing for the hometown paper, has more: "Four GOP first-termers – Reps. Mike Kelly, Tom Marino, Pat Meehan and Lou Barletta — were drawn into districts that become considerably more Republican-friendly. Barletta, in particular, is bolstered with a reconfigured district that would shed two key Democratic-oriented areas, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, both of which could have produced strong Democratic challengers in 2012. … Under the proposed map, Democratic Reps. Jason Altmire and Mark Critz must face each other in a primary." http://politi.co/tZ6BSJ
LOOKING FOR TRIVIA? -- Don't worry. It hasn't disappeared. You'll just have to search for it in today's Huddle.
TODAY'S WEATHER -- Increasing cloud cover throughout the day, but no rain and highs in the low 50s, according to ABC 7's Brian van de Graaf.

I have played with OCTARIUM at the last High Holy days and they are a wonderful Vocal group with a great conductor.
Octarium have sung at our High Holiday Service along with our cantor for as long as I can remember and their beautiful voices truly enhance our services.
Our High Holy Days would be beautiful with only the voice of our Cantor but having Octarium provides a much more spiritual experience. Their voices entertwined with the Cantor's gives our holiest days of awe a splendid aura not achievable without their skills. Singing our songs demands the group learn Hebrew...a skill they did with integrity.
This group is so beautiful. They obviously are very good at what they do and work very hard to sound so awesome. They sound so flawless in their harmonies and the way their voices blend is very hypnotic and yet it is also soothing. These folks deserve our support! They are so very talented!
Each time I hear Octarium, I am truly amazed how eight people can work together to achieve such an incredible singular sound that is pure and innocent, complex yet clear, delightful, moving and they touch my heart. Thank you!
I have been a fan of Octarium since they were first organized. They have a clean, choral sound that is very hard to find outside of a university setting, and universities get these kinds of singers together only so often. I have enjoyed each of their CDs and have heard many of their concerts. They are brave in their programing and fearless in their performances. I think that the world is better because they exist. I hope they will continue to grow and find new audiences to bring to the art of choral music.
I've never missed an Octarium Concert in the KC area, and I never go to a performance alone. I have invited numerous friends and relatives to join me who never fail to become fans!
I keep a link to the Octarium website on my Facebook page to share with more friends and family across the country, and as far away as Sweden!
They have been delighted with the cd's , and I am thrilled to be a supporter of Octarium and their fine tuned vocal instruments!!
When the radio is blaring away with odds and ends, and I'm searching for something to soothe my soul, I just pop in an Octarium CD and enjoy!
As a lover of choral music I was enchanted when I first heard Octarium several years ago; the beautiful meld of voices, the balance of the singers, the ravishing harmonies. This is a group of very talented singers, brilliantly trained to sing together as a perfect ensemble. There is no more beatiful instrument than the human voice (when trained and used correctly), and here are eight such instruments working together with remarkable effect.
I have barely missed a concert since, and just wish that more others could experience the sound of this wonderful group.
I am not a terribly verbose person and I'm a good writer, either. I wish I could express how exquisite Octarium's music is - the beauty of the music, the phrasing, the synchronicity of the singers - 8 voices as one But these words are like saying that the Grand Canyon is big or amazing or beautiful. Words cannot do Octarium and their music justice. We are incredibly lucky that they exist, that Krista Blackwood, despite all odds and absolutely no funding, is able to keep this chorale group together. They sang for a fundraiser for a church in my neighborhood in freezing cold (the sanctuary was 42 degrees) and the music brought tears to my eyes. Do yourself a favor: Check out their website and buy a CD and transport yourself to heaven.

Things get busier and confusing, as the month ends. Manage money matters with due care. Lot of efforts will be required for maintaining harmony on the home front. Don't forget yourself, amidst all this
Favourable dates:

12th House is the House of Reckoning, the House of Unconscious, the House that prompts you to break away from what's not right, the House of Losses or Wastes. Saturn stays in your 12th House for the whole year long, and keeps prompting you to look for new options, new changes and constant reflections. Change of job or place of dwelling may be on your mind, through the year. Relocation too may be on your mind. You will not be happy with your current state, at least that's what is definitive. Going abroad is a possibility that you will consider seriously now. More than enhancing your prospects, it shall be about enhancing your 'self' that should work behind your motivations. But, for 2017, things may not be very clear. At least, there may be no clear picture about future prospects, when the year begins. However, clouds of uncertainty will start dispersing from mid Marchitself.Finance:
Planetary positions when the year begins paint a hazy picture about your position on the financial front. Saturn rules the 2nd House, concerned with finances and is also ruler of your Sign. And, Saturn remains stationed in the 12th House for the whole year. This position of Saturn does not augur well for accumulating wealth. You need to observe strict financial discipline to remain in a healthy financial position, this year, thus. Losses are likely, or you may remain indifferent in such a manner that you may lose your grip on your finances. Refrain! Stock market traders must remain vigilant, as losses are possible.Business:
Business persons will look to get encouraging opportunities. A good opportunity will come your way, any time from mid Marchto March end. You may need to travel extensively to promote your business. Don't expect immediate results, though. Period from April end onwards will start bringing returns. May onwards will be the real time for action,. Be careful and clear in payment matters. There is a strong possibility that you may have to write off part of dues in an association. In short, you will lose some revenue. Planets shall facilitate encouraging gains, around the last quarter of year.Education :
Ones pursuing graduation may be looking for some avenues to earn money. They may get such an opportunity early in the year, but this may distract them from their real path. Post graduation students too will experience disturbances, while studying. Distractions galore! Find your centre and re-balance your energies to focus on what's vital right now in your life!Career:
You may be lured by tempting options, and this may make you less focused at your present work. That's wrong! Have patience, you shall get encouraging exposure to showcase your talents. Period from mid Marchonwards till mid Marchlooks significant on this count. Any developments taking place in career realm this year shall have long term implications.Love Life :
Love beckons! And, you will also get chances to enjoy the pleasures of skin, if you wish to. Do so, only if you are single, though. You cannot help falling in love with someone at any stage of life, but you can always decide what's the limit. Let a new , deep love turn to deep friendship and soul-mate equation, if you are married/ attached.
Singles may bump unexpectedly into an old crush at a social function. Sparks fly, and you both may decide to seal the deal. This love relationship will last for long. However, some disagreement is likely to develop when Venus moves in retrograde mode (4/3 to 15/4). But, your strong emotional bond will bail your relationship out of the storm.Marriage And Children :
Ones in committed love relationships and eager to get married must plan shared finances carefully. They must put in place all practical aspects in place, before they go ahead with their marriage. This is even more important, if you plan to marry against your family's wishes, as in that scenario the entire load of sustenance shall fall on your shoulder. Plan your wedding event well in advance too, or there may be glitches and losses at the last moment.
This is important keeping in view the position of Saturn, which is the ruler of your Sign and also that of the House related to finances and family. It is in the 12th House this year, which indicates confusions, hurdles, monetary loss because of carelessness or oversight and extra expenditure.
Period from the beginning of March to mid April will be sensitive for relationship domain. You must guard your special relations at that time. Detachment won't help, and being aggressive will make the matters worse. Find balance and be gentle.Personal and Confidential
Saturn is ruler of your Sign. Saturn is in overtly optimistic fiery Sign Sagittarius, in the 12th House. Saturn in the 12th House is not a happy proposition, though. At times, in spite of having great talent, Saturn may not allow you to have the right platform. Some frustrations, failures are likely.
Besides this, the retrogression of Venus may also lead to issues in personal life. Capricorn natives usually prefer to keep things close to their chest. This also applies to failures and hurts. However, it's best, at times, to confide in someone close, a parent, spouse or a trusted ally. This will relieve you, and also initiate a healing process. Saturn's presence in 12th House may also bring out some deep seated fears or grief/ hurts, which will cause uneasiness.
Health – Stress at work place and issues in personal life may start telling on your health. More than the physical plane, it is your emotional and mental plane that needs nurturing now. Saturn will make you stronger mentally, but will also have the power to make you a nervous, negative wreck, if you do not take care. You may have a propensity to recede in darker recesses of your mind.

Pata Collapsible Felt-and-Plywood Stools
When furniture can flatten out, it saves on space both in your home and in shipping. That's why we like this design for collapsible stools by Takashi Sato Design:
The Pata stool is made strong by plywood and made fold-able by felt. Flatten them when shipping or to stow them away when not in use. Perfect for small space living or those who move frequently. The design of the Pata doesn't appear to be for retail sale, but we love the idea and hope that it's in production someday soon.

However apple will only check for emails every 15 min. It won't check any faster. My blackberry was instant. I run a business where I need need to know soon as email comes in or I might lose orders... This is life line for me. So 3GS is going back, and Iphone 4 is out of questions(probably same problem). I have 3 choices. Which would you recommend? 1. ATT captivate(samsung galaxy s) Good: good screen ATT has economical plan w/ 900min and 2GB internet for $85 per month Free tethering with samsung kies bad: might have gps problem no flash: this might be huge since it's is almost useless as camera indoors 2. verizon droid x everything looks good but the the screen is older kind bad : verizon is expensive: 900min and internet and tethering is $120 per month. I suppose I can get by with less minutes for $100. 3. verizon incredible almost good as others and no real problem but still verizon is expensive Which would you recommend. Now that i have 3GS, I can wait until I get any of the phones and return this one. As I said, my reall needs are email(fast check), internet, good call quality, sometimes use of camera.

A couple of years on from his "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" album 'The Boombox Ballads', North Wales native Stephen Black, better known as Sweet Baboo, is gearing up to release his brand new LP.
'Wild Imagination' is due out on 2nd June via Moshi Moshi and it's been designed as something of an antidote to our turbulent, sometimes dark times. Stephen explained: "I think everyone agrees 2016 was a pretty shitty year. I kept thinking about my son (he's nearly 3) and wanting to protect him from the world, so I decided to try and make an album full of positivity because that's what I know I can do. And at the moment, I don't know what else to suggest. As an aside, the album was originally going to be called Positive Recordings." See the tracklisting for 'Wild Imagination' below.
1. The Gardener
2. Wild Imagination
3. Swallows
4. Badminton
5. Clear Blue Skies
6. The Night Gardener
7. Hold On
8. Pink Rainbow

Stanford's Restaurant was founded by Stanford Glazer in 1975, in Westport…Kansas City, MO's entertainment district in those days. Craig Glazer, Jeff Glazer and David Naster started booking comedy acts in 1979 in the lounge above the restaurant. The restaurant was re-named Stanford and Sons, a nod to the hit show "Sanford and Son" starring comic Red Foxx and because the owner of the club's first name was Stanford Glazer and his sons ran the restaurant. Stanford and Son's exploded onto the national scene in 1981 when Craig Glazer met Robin Williams in Los Angeles and he agreed to work Stanford's for free to work on his act.

Stan ran for mayor of Kansas City, Craig sold his life story as a film, produced the life story of Muhammad Ali called 'Champions Forever' while Jeff worked tirelessly to make Stanford's a household name in Kansas City. Stanford and Son's Comedy Club is the longest running comedy club owned by the same family in the country besides The Comedy Store in Los Angeles owned by the Shore's.
In 2014 The Glazers moved to a new home in Rosana Square Shopping Center in Overland Park, Kansas and are taking Johnson County by storm! With the addition of a new, full service restaurant headed by Chef John Scott and offerings like dinner and a show there are now new options for entertainment in Johnson County that have never been seen before!

One woman, Fidelma McBride, becomes so enamored that she begs him for a child. All that world is shattered when Vlad is arrested, and his identity as a war criminal is revealed.
Fidelma, disgraced, flees to England and seeks work among the other migrants displaced by wars and persecution. But it is not until she confronts him - her nemesis - at the tribunal in The Hague that her physical and emotional journey reaches its breathtaking climax.
The Little Red Chairs is a book about love and the endless search for it. It is also a book about mankind's fascination with evil and how long, how crooked, is the road toward home.
©2016 Edna O'Brien (P)2016 Hachette Audio
"The great Edna O'Brien has written her masterpiece." (Philip Roth)
"The Little Red Chairs is a daring invention set at the bloody crossroads where worlds collide: savage, tender, and true." (John Banville)
"O'Brien, a master at weaving the personal with the political, has a perfect partner in narrator Juliet Stevenson...this is no mere tale of love gone wrong--it's a powerfully read modern parable." (AudioFile)
"Red, as Scarlet, as Enraging, as Bloody"
You live in a quaint, if a little busybody, Irish hamlet, a beauty swept off her feet by a much older man, marrying in your well-earned white dress. 15, 20 years pass, your life is humdrum, sort of nice with your much older husband but your clock is ticking and his dock ain't kicking.
A very distinguished, intriguing, attractive foreign (perhaps Russian) doctor/chiropractor in his early 40s moves into town, renting a room near your art shop. He subtly suggests that you look like you need a lover. Your biological clock starts to wind in the corner of your mind, and you seek a child with this man, a child your husband cannot give you.
Weeks/months pass by and you become pregnant despite knowing now of a few negative character traits. One day government agents blow into this little village to make a highly publicized arrest of the most wanted Serbian war criminal (think, Milosevic, Karadzic).
PapaDaddy is, as it turns out, the Prince of Darkness, Beëlzebub in the body, Father of Lies in the flesh, Author of Evil, the Old Serpent.
The novel blasts with double-barrels, driven by morally difficult questions and, to my mind, unloading on some leaders in the Catholic Church as, at best, judgmental and indifferent to humanity and not at all worthy of reflecting the Redeemer, or, worse, complicit in abetting such a monstrous castigation that even Lucifer would have to look away. Ms. O'Brien has never shied away from criticizing or offending the Catholic Church of her Ireland.
Warning: this book contains one of the most diabolical and horrendous acts of sexual violence against a female in all literature, at least that I've read.
"Only a Master such as Edna O'Brien"
...could create this novel in all its devastating beautiy. An artistic triumph brought to life in this production. An unsettling and haunting tale that tears open the heart --as powerful and eternal and full of wisdom as the verse of Rumi.
"Exquisite prose"
There is no doubt about the quality and intelligence of O'Brien's exquisite prose. However, at times I was confused as to the basics of whom, where, and when in the course of the story. The beauty of her lovely prose suffered therefore from a lack of keener stitching between scenes and too much emphasis on exhibiting her writing than pulling her story together more actively and coherently. Had she achieved that, I would have given the book five stars. The narrator did a superb job.
"Well written, poorly conceived "
The writing was often beautiful, but whatever the concept for the novel, or whatever inspired the structure of the novel, was poorly executed. There is often very little cohesion between chapters, which is often disorienting. I frequently had to check to see if I had skipped forward several chapters. Also, and perhaps because of this, there is very little meaningful character development. The narrative structure is relatively incoherent. I would not recommend this book.
"Good read"
A journey of a life, choices, untidy, stops and starts,unfinished lives, stark in places, tender and hopeful in others. Courage. Human. Woman.
Darkly human; Beautifully written; Brilliantly read. An outsider tantalizes and brings the evil of wars to a small contemporary Irish community. Wounded souls try to make make meaning and heal together. Gorgeous and horrifying imagery. Juliet Stevenson exceeds the challenge and nearly creates a new performing arts form. Brava!
"Beautiful writing, beautiful narrating"
First, the narration was perfect. I think the narrator's voice is my favorite that I've listened to. Second, the writing is beautiful, but sometimes the plot was jarring. At times I even checked to make sure I hadn't skipped chapters accidentally. Some of the characters felt a little shallowly developed. I found myself wishing for more information and more development of the relationship between Vlad and Fidelma. I had a hard time understanding how she could make some of the decisions she had, so quickly. It seemed like a lost opportunity that their relationship was glazed over. Then as I listened I understood; that was not the point of the story. This is not a love story and it certainly wasn't about the love affair. In my summation it's about how people deal with, or don't deal with, grief and trauma and the implications of that choice. There are many themes and topics that are intensely interesting and heartbreaking. This book was picked for a book club and I can't wait to discuss it.
"A masterpiece"
This is a beautifully written but sad story, with an incredible performance by Juliet Stevenson. It'd worth hearing for her reading alone.
"Superb writer"
Edna O'Brian is an incredible writer. She draws you into the complex psychologies of people thrown into untenable moral situations, how intricately guilt and innocence, morality and that which makes us human are interwoven within people, between people, between people and their environment/situation and between people and true belief systems. The individual stories are beautifully interwoven with each other, and her writing is addictive. Juliet Stevenson is also a wonderful narrator and brings the characters to life.
I loved this book, the story and the performance! Did not want to stop listening for a second. Fantastic all around!

(KYTX) – Looking through rows of nail polish, Asia has a lot of choices at the Belladonna Day Spa in Tyler. It's her first trip to a spa for a day that's all about making her feel special.
"She hasn't gotten to be a child very much and was kind of in a parental role before being removed, so the more things she gets to do that are age appropriate are exciting for her," said Kim Rhodes with Child Protective Services.
Asia is a sweet young lady who is helpful and thoughtful of others. "And she's a lot of fun to be around," added Rhodes.
She is mature for her age and likes staying active. "I like to go places. I like to shop and do sports and I am tall."
Asia is athletic, standing about 5'9" and still growing. Her favorite sport is basketball and she's proud of her cheerleading skills.
"Last year we went to Six Flags in Dallas and we won first place for cheerleading," she said.
Asia just started the 8th-grade in a new school. Starting over, both academically and socially, is never easy for foster children. "I miss my friends."
But she's making the best of it and hopes to one day go to college. "I either want to be a teacher or a nurse."
After almost five years in foster care, Asia has been let down a number of times including three different potential adoptive families for her that fell through.
"She's had several disappointments about things that were supposed to be permanent and for one reason or another just did not work out." Rhodes goes on to say, "I feel like she thinks no one is going to want her."
While Asia waits, she tries to be positive. "[I've learned] to not look back and stuff. I want a family that is forever and I will bring laughter [to the home.] I like to laugh," she said with a smile.
A pleasant teenager, with a loving heart. Rhodes said, "She's just a neat kid and she's grateful when people do things for your her."
To learn more about Asia, join Gillian Sheridan for her "Children are a Gift" report, Tuesday night on CBS 19 Ten @ 10. You can also find information on www.CBS19.tv and www.tylerpaper.com. To inquire about an East Texas child waiting to be adopted call 903-533-4109.

Re: 1.3 MJD: Torque steer problem
Re: 1.3 MJD: Torque steer problem
torque steer is nothing related to steering issue. you have misunderstood it.
it happens when too much of power is given to tires ,for example when you give full acceleration car shoots like instantly so the road grip may become unbalanced on each tires so the the car does not go straight ahead rather wobbles or steers a little bit depending upon the conditon of tires or road surface.
on pothole you will find steering movements from 5 mm to 15mm also, as this is very specially built steering in punto which gives near perfect feedbacks of how tire is interacting with road. many people find it uncomfortable with the vibration of roads felt on steering but many find it as charming as lively feel.
but do not if your tires have some serious bent or uneveness that would also show up in steering movements or it may wobble which may not be felt by you in the cabin due to outstanding suspensions. so better give a proper and thourough attention if you feel something is fishy.
to conclude torque steering has nothing to do with steering assy or steering systems of a car it is self steered due to power of engine moving the tire due to too much force ar torque.
Re: 1.3 MJD: Torque steer problem
normally enthusiasts appreciates and loves torque steers, even i do love it,though it is not very advantageous or safe but it shows how powerful your heart of engine is.
my punto90hp shows incredible torque steer if i reved upto 4000rpm at first gear and release the clutch quickly. it feels scary and sometimes .
it is to be noted fgt punto have maximum torque at 1750rpm where as punto 90hp vgt has max torque at 4000rpm hope figure shows how fierce it is.
Re: 1.3 MJD: Torque steer problem
No Wrong Man ! Punto 90 HP has max torque @2000 RPM
Re: My Punto issues - pulling left & gear shift
If Clutch is giving Jerk then I doubt that they have might not have replaced Pressure Plate.
wheather dealer has mentioned Replacement of Pressure Plate on you bill ?
If yes then problem is in Clutch Slave Cylinder.
Dealer might have done only lubrcation of clutch shaft to make free movment of you Pressure Plate.
So your problem of gear shifting is solved on temporary basis.
After some days you will face same problem (Hard Gear shift)
Insist the dealer to replace complete Clutch Assly + Clutch Slave cylinder also.
50 % gear shift problems are due to faulty Clutch Slave Cylinder (located on Gear Box)
Re: My Punto issues - pulling left & gear shift
Yes the clutch pressure plate has indeed been replaced. I was present in the workshop and myself saw the clutch plate being replaced with new one.
Will check the car for few days for clutch and then lets see. If problem persists, I will get the clutch slave cylinder replaced.
Re: 1.3 MJD: Torque steer problem
I don't find steering move on potholes, but I definitely feel the road on my hands. Actually I can feel the texture of the surface I am moving on - I must confess I do not find this to be a comfortable feeling.
Re: My Punto issues - pulling left & gear shift
are you amolmane. Your style of writing is same as of amolmane.
Re: 1.3 MJD: Torque steer problem
HPS of Punto is most perfect in all hatchbacks in India. Superb Steering Feedback.
It has a great combination of hardness & smoothness. Other EPS of i-20/swift are vague.
EPS of i-20 & swift are over assisted & like a joystic of Video Game. No Steering Feedback.
Re: 1.3 MJD: Torque steer problem
javadev you are right with your clarification. Guess I used the wrong phrase to describe what I am observing. Guess 'torque steer' is not the right phrase to describe it. I thought 'torque steer' meant the torque that you, as a driver, feel on the steering. But seems like it is steering effect due to the torque on the front wheels. And although I have experienced it when I accelerate hard, that definitely is not the thing that is bothering me now.

Women are more independent and quite confident in everything they do. This trait of women makes men go gaga over them. When it comes to understanding women, there are a few points where men fail to understand them.
There are certain things that men assume that women lie. However, these things might not be actually true. In this article, we are here to share some of the things that men assume that their women are lying about.
There are a few misconceptions about women that men actually need to know. These misconceptions are just a few common ones and there is no intention to hurt the sentiments of men.
There have been certain researches conducted that have shown what men think their women are lying about. So, we are here to enlighten you about the things that men think that we, women, lie about. Read on to know about the most common things that men assume that women are lying.
Spending On Expensive Dates And Gifts
Women often love classy dates, but that does not mean that we want you to flaunt and spend on expensive dates all the time. A little thing to remember here is that not all women expect you to pay for everything during a date. So, do not think that we are lying about it. We actually mean it.
We Never Compare Our Exes
There are a very few cases when women sulk about their exes. Studies have revealed that women move on faster when compared to men. So, being insecure about your woman comparing you to their ex is just not fair. Who knows they must be more content and happy with you. So believe your lady, guys!
Thinking That We Love Your Jealousy
This is one of the biggest misconception that men have about women. Men think that we are happy when men get a little jealous and extra protective about us. This is quite annoying for a woman actually. A little bit of jealousy and being protective is okay with us, but not in everything, as it can be quite irritating at times.
We'll Be Ready Soon
This is something that never works for women. We might tell you that we would be ready in 10 minutes, but that is just a pacifying talk! This is a lie that we women love to say.
Sharing Dark Secrets
A lot of men tend to pretend about the number of flings they have had in their life. If you think that a woman is lying about her flings, it is all because you have your mindset stuck in that way. They may be talking about the real facts you know.
Remember a simple note, " Assumption is the mother of all problems". So, stop assuming and judging your woman. She might just be telling you the facts!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Injuries at running back could leave the New York Giants short-handed for Sunday's key NFC East matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
Backups Ahmad Bradshaw and Danny Ware missed practice Wednesday and coach Tom Coughlin is uncertain about their status for the game.
Bradshaw missed the loss at Denver on Thanksgiving night with left ankle and foot problems. Ware suffered a concussion against the Broncos. He also was sidelined for five weeks after dislocating his elbow on the opening kickoff in the season opener.
Starter Brandon Jacobs has struggled this season, and has not reached 100 yards rushing in a single game. At least he's healthy, as is fullback Madison Hedgecock.
The only other running back on the roster is rookie Gartrell Johnson, who has 11 carries for 39 yards.

We re-built our Sharepoint Server and installed SP1, however anyfiles that have an & in the file name is not recongised and will notopen. We get a message saying the file has been moved for deleted,but this is not the case as you can access the file from the webstoreif you map it to the m driveCan anyone help me with this problem?
Since SPPS is a WebDAV-based file store, you can't use characters like & and/ in the filename since you can't make a URL with it.I would therefore presume the same applies to characters such as~ # * < > : ? | "and the like.btw, be careful about accessing files from M: drive. This is just awarning.
Would you know who I can get these documents with and & in their name outof sharepoint as sharepoint cannot find them to delete them
I've never been able to copy documents *in* to sharepoint with these invalidcharacters, so I'm not sure. How did you get them into SPPS? If you did itthrough the M: drive [slap wrist] no no no no no. But you should be able todelete them through there if you added them that way.That's one thing about SPPS that's a real pain -- when you *do* try to copyin documents with invalid chars, the error message ends up being somethingnot-so-helpful like "Network problems prevented authentication to theserver" or something similarly vague. It should tell you "You know, I can'tuse characters like & / : < > # so please rename your document. Would youlike me to replace & with "and" for you and copy in anyway?" and then itwould copy it in with a valid name.Yeah, I'm wishing here.Can you see the document in the document library?
Also, make sure the documents are 'checked in'. Their not deletable ifthey're in a checked out state. Have you tried right clicking and renamingthem as well?
you don't need to slap my wrist. One of the Departments wasable to copy them in using windows explorer via the webfolders. There wasno message preventing this and obviously now they cannot be accessed asthe file path is invalid.File save as gives you that message, but not copy and paste. If I deletethe documents in the m drive they do not come out of sharepoint. The wholethis is just a pain.
Interesting. When I try to drag and drop a file with "&" in the name to aweb folder, I get an error. Specifically, a dialog box with "Copy Error" asthe title and the ever-so-enlightening details of:"The file or folder cannot be copied. The source or destination may havebeen moved or deleted."I'm at SP1. Are you?I also tried "pasting" the document, but all that does is copy anyway. Ialso tried a rename of an existing document; same problem.

Autocad In Telugu
Drawing with AutoCAD is really just like drawing on a drawing board. Most newcommers to Computer Aided Design assume that they will need to learn how to draw all over again. In fact, many of the drawing aids that AutoCAD provides are analagous to traditional drafting tools. Just as you have a parallel motion and set squares to help you draw horizontal and vertical lines on a drawing board, AutoCAD has similar drawing aids which can help you to draw horizontal and vertical lines on a computer. This means that in many respects, the drawing techniques are very similar. If you ever get stuck, think how you would complete a task on a drawing board and then look for a similar way to do it with AutoCAD.
Ortho Mode
|Status Bar
|ORTHO or F8
Ortho is short for orthogonal, which means either vertical or horizontal. Like the other options on the status bar, Ortho is not really a command, it is a drawing mode which can either be turned on or off. Ortho mode can be toggled on or off in one of three ways. The quickest way is just to click on the ORTHO button on the status bar. The appearance of the button tells you whether Ortho is currently turned on or turned off. When Ortho is turned on, the ORTHO button appears pressed in. You can see how this appears by looking at the status bar illustration below. In the illustration, Ortho is turned on but Grid and Snap are turned off.
The ORTHO command limits the movement of the cursor to horizontal and vertical directions.
To select the Ortho Command you can:
type ortho at a Command: prompt,

NATC-A aviator awarded Purple Heart
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — Tech. Sgt. James Juniper, NATO Air Training Command-Afghanistan Mi-17 special mission aviator adviser, was awarded the Purple Heart in a ceremony Oct. 10 at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan.
Juniper, who is stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., and from Keota, received the award for his actions during a mission Oct. 8 when he was shot in the neck by enemy fire.
"I'd like to tell my crew thanks for saving my life," said Juniper about the event. "I owe them my life and I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them."
The Oct. 8 mission was a troop movement mission transporting Afghan National Army commandos from Tarin Khowt Airfield in Uruzgan Province to the district of Gizab. The two-ship formation of Mi-17 helicopters had just completed a successful drop-off and began to ascend out of the mountainous bowl surrounding the lush Gizab Valley to return to Tarin Khowt for fuel and to pick-up the next load of commandos.
During the second approach into the valley, multiple gunshots were heard from the right side of the second aircraft in the formation. Staff Sgt. Mark Cornett, NATC-A Mi-17 SMA advisor stationed at Joint Base Andrews and from Baltimore, Md., and Staff Sgt. Ben Jacobs, NATC-A Mi-17 SMA adviser stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB and from Uniontown, Wash., positively identified the source of the gunfire. Cornett initiated an evasive break away maneuver from the threat, while Jacobs began to engage the enemy with his M4 rifle.
"I heard the first shot, as I called the initial evasive maneuver the volume of the enemy gunfire increased significantly," said Cornett.
Upon hearing shots, Capt. Jeremy Powell, NATC-A Mi-17 pilot adviser stationed at JB Andrews and from Bellevue, Neb., swiftly took control of the aircraft, aggressively turning away from the threat. Simultaneously, Cornett began returning fire when several more shots were heard from a second point of origin, with the apparent sound of three rounds impacting the helicopter. Jacobs, observing additional enemy insurgents from a third location, called a right break maneuver while firing shots at the insurgents' location. It was then that Cornett and Jacobs observed Juniper lying unconscious on the floor of the aircraft's cabin.
"In this trade, you're always prepared to get shot at, but there is still that initial surprise when the first bullet snaps by," said Jacobs. "The sheer volume of fire immediately told me that this was different from a typical enroute 'pop shot' style engagement."
Jacobs scrambled through a crowded cabin to the aid of the fallen gunner. Jacobs identified that he had been shot in the neck and applied direct pressure to the wound.
On the tail of the aircraft, Cornett observed gunfire from a fourth position and began returning fire. As Powell began a left break away from small-arms fire, he spotted an insurgent launch a rocket-propelled grenade and rapidly tightened his turn, narrowly avoiding contact with the projectile.
"In that moment, when you see the smoke from an RPG launch, you max perform the aircraft and pray it's enough," said Powell.
As the formation began to exit the valley, Powell witnessed the plume from a second RPG and directed the aircraft away from the threat. Cornett, Jacobs and Staff Sgt. Chris Rector, NATC-A Mi-17 SMA adviser, began stripping Juniper of body armor and administering medical care.
Juniper was taken to the hospital at Tarin Khowt Airfield where he was stabilized. He was later medically evacuated to the KAF Role 3 hospital by U.S. Army medics where he made a full recovery.
"I still think the job we do is a very important one," said Juniper. "This wound won't deter me from getting back out there and getting the job done."
The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the United States armed forces who are wounded in combat operations by enemy combatants.

New ideas soar at airport show
THE success of Hong Kong's economy depends much on efficient communications, including air transport. In order to provide local students a better insight into Hong Kong's Airport Core Programme, a joint school exhibition cum competition was held recently at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
All exhibits were produced by students from 16 secondary schools.
Director of Education Lam Woon-kwong said the exhibition not only provided an opportunity for locals to understand the Airport Core Programme better, but also provided a valuable experience for participating students.
'I was impressed by students' innovative and creative ideas. The exhibits clearly demonstrated how hard the students had worked for the show.' Mr Lam said the Education Department had incorporated the programme into both primary and secondary school curriculum.
'We have published two sets of educational kits on the Airport Core Programme with the help of the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office.
'We hope these kits would enable students to understand the significance of the programme as well as its influence on society,' said Mr Lam.
Shun Tak Fraternal Association Seaward Woo College's geography teacher Chan Shun-tim said the exhibition would enhance students' awareness about the new airport projects.
Her school won the best school award in the competition with its project on noise pollution. The school also won the award for originality and the most popular booth award.
'We attribute our success to the research we had done for the project. The idea was to give the public a thorough understanding of the noise pollution issues covered in the programme.' 'Moreover our mock lab could give visitors a real feel of the noise levels.' Hiu Mei-yan, a representative of the school and the chairman of its Geography Society, said: 'This competition helped us to understand in depth the details of the new airport projects through research and interviews.' The Airport Core Programme comprises 10 interlinked infrastructure projects.
They are the new airport at Chek Lap Kok, Tung Chung New Town, West Kowloon Reclamation, Central Reclamation Phase One, Airport Railway, North Lantau Expressway, Lantau Fixed Crossing, Route Three (part), West Kowloon Expressway, Western Airport Railway and Western Harbour Crossing.
The first phase of the Chek Lap Kok airport with two runways in use will handle 35 million passengers and three million tonnes of cargo a year.
The $158.2 billion programme is expected to meet Hong Kong's transport needs well into the next century.
The present airport at Kai Tak is the world's busiest for international passengers, and second busiest for freight.

The Dhanush-Selva brotherly pair is coming up with a real entertainer this November 25th, in Mayakkam Enna. The news has been confirmed by Director Selvaraghavan who said, " Mayakkam Enna on 25th this month. Will wait for your feedback." His wife Gitanjali who was present at the audio launch event earlier expressed her joy saying, "It's a film that means the world to me. Something straight from the heart."
The movie with an urban romance theme has Dhanush portraying the role of a photographer and has already been granted a U/A certificate. It will have the beauty face Richa Gangopadhyay marking her debut in Kollywood lands. The music for the movie has been a hit among the youth with the brotherly duo penning all the lyrics for total 6 songs composed by GV Prakash .With many expecting the movie as a Diwali release and later hanging on to the postponement news, fans can finally take a breather with the release date confirmed for Nov 25th.
No more Kolaveri for Dhanush fans….hehehehe 🙂
