Economy and business-related legislation should top Lower House priorities, economists and private sector representatives told The Jordan Times on Wednesday.
They called on lawmakers to push through certain bills to help revive the economy.
Expressing cautious optimism regarding the expected performance of the 17th Parliament that was elected last Wednesday, the experts stressed in separate interviews with The Jordan Times the need for cooperation between the House, private sector and economists to deal with the "severe economic situation" that is confronting the Kingdom and to draft legislations that seek to stimulate the economy and improve the business environment in the Kingdom.
Qasem Hamouri, a professor of economics at Yarmouk University, said the newly elected House should focus on laws that would generate more revenues to the Treasury in order to narrow the deficit gap in the state budget.
Hamouri placed the issue of amending income and sales tax temporary law at the top of several other legislations that are badly needed to improve state finances.
He emphasised the importance of adopting a progressive tax system that imposes higher percentage rate on the wealthy than the less wealthy and to tax large corporations according to their income, saying that the Jordanian economy was seriously damaged without a comprehensive tax system in place.
Citing the Social Security Law as another priority for the House, Hamouri also called for drafting a legislation that seeks to protect the assets of the Social Security Corporation (SSC) as these assets belong to the Jordanian people.
According to Hamouri, unfeasible investments carried out by the corporation in addition to high salaries are among the flaws that could drain SSC funds in about 20 years.
The Lower House must activate its monitoring role on public funds and government spending, he stressed, indicating that lawmakers should reform the investment law to be more attractive for Arab and foreign capitals.
Economist Khaled Wazani gave additional weight to the importance of implementing the progressive tax regime as stipulated in the Constitution, saying reforming the tax system in the Kingdom should aim at achieving social justice among Jordanians and generating higher state revenues from the wealthy and profitable large firms.
For this Parliament, Wazani said that discussing the JD7.4 billion state budget draft law for this year would be the House's top priority, noting that budget deliberations are expected to take a long time.
Amending the Landlords and Tenants Law, which according to Wazani affects over 30 per cent of the population, should also be included in the agendas of the Lower House, he added, emphasising the need to make the legislation acceptable to most stakeholders.
Wazani urged MPs and authorities to draft an investment law that could be able to attract more capital inflows into the Kingdom, stressing the importance of cooperation between lawmakers and experts to exit the economic slowdown that has been hitting the country for more than four years.
Commenting on the expected performance of the House, Hamouri expessed scepticism as its makeup is largely dominated by wealthy and businesspeople, who, according to him, should not put their own interests before the country's.
But Wazani seemed to be more optimistic as he based his expectation on the assumption that newly elected MPs will not risk their reputation by letting down their supporters.
Wazani explained that the private sector represents over 60 per cent of the Jordanian economy and that the intense presence of deputies coming from the private sector could be an advantage for the economy.
"Of course these businesspeople will have a role in lobbying for the interests of their sectors in the Parliament, which can stimulate the economic cycle in the country," he noted.
For private sector representatives, there are several laws the House should focus on, such as laws concerning tax reforms, landlords and tenants and investment.
Issa Murad, deputy chairman of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce remarked it is about time the Lower House come up with a law to regulate the relation between the government and the private sector by reviewing and endorsing the public-private partnership legislation.
Commenting on the fact that there are several MPs who are businesspeople, Murad said that the presence of such a segment of the society can give a sense of tranquility to business sectors.
The merchant expressed optimism in the performance of the Parliament, calling on lawmakers to consult and coordinate with the private sector when discussing laws that concern them.
Nazzal Armouti, deputy chairman of the Jordan Chamber of Industry, however, said the top priority of MPs should be amending the election law, noting that a modern law would result in making voters elect efficient deputies who have real economic and political programmes.
The one-person one-vote electoral system restricts voters selection means and prevents competent and efficient people to run for the Parliament, many people have complained.
Other priorities to be addressed by the House, Armouti mentioned tax reforms, investment, renewable energy, rent and social security laws.
"It is becoming more pressing to make laws capable of boosting the economy," the industrialist said, adding that legislations should be based on objective studies and not personal impressions and considerations.

Short Story (Specialty) Contest Rules
- This contest has two divisions: "General" and "Specialty." A story may be entered in either division but not in both. The contest provides a total award this year of $1000 for the winners and any outside judges. Judges will generally divide among eight winners (four in each division), or among more or fewer than eight depending on the number and quality of the stories submitted in each division. If the quality of submissions is low, the judges may withhold some or all of the awards.
- Stories entered in this contest are to be marked (either "General" or "Specialty") according to the division the author selects. Stories entered in the "Specialty" division are to be further designated according to their particular type: science fiction, fantasy, western, mystery, etc. Regardless of the division selected, the stories should conform to standards of taste appropriate for an L.D.S. community. Stories submitted in the "General" division may treat any theme and be of any type within, broadly, the form of the short story. The judges will select the winning stories primarily on the basis of literary merit. Stories submitted in the "Specialty" division are limited in subject matter and method of treatment--but only to the degree that such limitation is conventional for the type of story being written (a time machine, for example, would be acceptable in a science fiction story but not in a western). If the story is intended to be a blend of two or more types, the author should label it accordingly (science fiction/mystery, western/fantasy, etc.). Nonfiction is not considered a genre suitable for the Short Story-Specialty contest. Stories in the "Specialty" division will also be judged according to their literary merit, but special consideration will be given to depth and breadth of imagination and to the author's awareness of whatever conventions exist for that type of story.
- The stories should be no longer than 6,000 words and should be typed (double spaced) on regular white typing paper with adequate margins.
- All entries are to be uploaded between February 1 and February 6, 2017 before 5:00 p.m., to the Mayhew website. No hard copies will be accepted in the College of Humanities office.
- The chairmen of the two short story divisions will appoint judges for their divisions. These judges will typically be drawn from published writers, editors, creative writing teachers, and critics.
- Each student submitting an entry will upload a PDF file of their entry and fill out the appropriate information giving name, address, and telephone number and certifying (a) that he or she is eligible by proper enrollment at BYU to enter the contest, and (b) that the entry submitted is the student's own creative work. The student's real name will appear only to the Mayhew contest organizers.
Important note: In addition to the specific rules above for the Short Story (Specialty) Contest, see the "General Regulations" giving information on all Mayhew Student Creative Contests. Both the general regulations and the specific rules for each contest should be followed by every student who enters one or more of the contests.
All submissions require a cover sheet (filled out online) and must be submitted online. Online submissions will open on February 1st, 2016.

The Çalış Children's Charity went on a 45,000 TL Christmas Shopping spree last week and here is what they bought for local good causes (sing while you read-a-long to the tune of the Twelve Days of Christmas.)
On the first day of Christmas the 3C's bought for Bayir school – a large village school located off the Antalya road on the way to Seki –
19 winter coats, 42 pairs of strong boots and shoes, socks, tights and tracksuits, 1 school bag, 4 electric sobas, 3 woodburning sobas, 10 soba buckets, 30 soba pipes, a computer sound system, 4 footballs, 4 volleyballs, 2 handballs, 2 basketballs, loads of craft materials, pencils, paper, finger paints, reading books, 2 donated printers and a pair of weighing scales (every school is now required to weigh the children).
On the second day of Christmas the 3C's bought for Cumhuriyet School –
2 overhead projectors and screens, 2 donated laptops, 60 packets (12 boxes) of photocopy paper, 240 exercise books, 50 notebooks, hundreds of pencils, rubbers and sharpeners, giant Lego, 7 glove puppets, face paints, play dough, lots of wooden puzzles, jigsaws, reading books, stencils and lots of other educational pre-school toys and games.
On the third day of Christmas the 3C's bought for Eldirek village school –
An outside playground activity centre with slide, cargo net and climbing frame, 2 sets of double swings, 2 seesaws and 4 large wooden picnic tables complete with benches.
On the fourth day of Christmas the 3C's bought for Ortaköy village school –
1 overhead projector and screen and three 18000 bthu air conditioning units to heat the nursery and first and second year classrooms (these rooms had no heating and the school did not want sobas where there were very young children)
On the fifth day of Christmas the 3C's bought for Dereköy school – a small village school up in the mountains –
2 sets of double swings, 2 seesaws, 2 large wooden picnic tables with benches, giant Lego, a basketball hoop with stand, 2 footballs and a basketball, 2 spacehoppers, a large selection of story books, 3 glove puppets, exercise books and pencils, stencils, playdough, face paints, skipping ropes and a selection of educational toys.
On the sixth day of Christmas the 3C's bought for Karslioğlu school – a large school near the university in Tasyaka –
a new laptop to operate the projector for the first year class
On the seventh day of Christmas the 3C's bought for the local Girls Rehabilitation Centre –
2 backgammon and 2 Okey sets, Metropol, and Tabu board games, Scrabble, Jenga, 3 large jigsaws, a donated digital camera, a refurbished football table and a magnetic dartboard.
On the eighth day of Christmas the 3C's bought for Bozalan Village School, one of the poorest schools in the Fethiye education area located high up in the mountains –
half the cost of roof repairs to replace the badly leaking roof (the classrooms were so wet that they could only use two rooms out of four), a full log burning sealed central heating system with radiators in all classrooms (this had been donated to the 3C's for them to allocate to a suitable school by a very generous anonymous sponsor who will also install the system)
In the days before Christmas the 3C's also purchased –
56 full sets of school uniform for children from poor families in the Fethiye area and we also committed to funding 15 annual university bursaries to assist poor students in the local area to attend university.
45k Spent
All of the above items have either been purchased or are on order and will be delivered and installed within the next couple of weeks.
In the case of the student bursaries, the 3C's have committed to paying 1,500 TL every month for the academic year.
The cost of all of these purchases once the invoices have been received and paid from the 3C's special bank account held by FETAV (Fethiye Foundation for Tourism, Promotion, Environment, Culture and Education) is estimated to be in the region of 45,000 TL – approximately £15,000.
This does not include the cost of their sponsor's central heating system and other donated items. As items are delivered and installed, members of the 3C's committee will be visiting all of the schools over the next month and will provide a report and photos of each project so that you can see where all the money raised has been spent and best of all see the smiling faces of the children.
Thank You
Said 3C's Chairman Peter Clark:
"None of these purchases would be possible without the help and generosity of our wonderful supporters. Whether you have donated unwanted items to, or purchased items from, our charity shop or the committee stall at our monthly car boot sales, have paid for a stall at one of our fairs or car boots, attended one of our many fundraising events, bought out items for our raffles or purchased a raffle ticket, donated or pledged an item or service to our annual Promises Auction or put a bit of loose change in one of our collecting buckets you are the ones that have made all this possible.
Thank you all so much.
All of us at the 3C's would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year and would like to thank you all wholeheartedly for your help and support".

Northern Clay Center proudly entered its 26th year of operations this fall and with the support of many, continues to be a leader in the field of ceramics. In this calendar year alone, we've produced a dozen unique exhibitions; introduced ceramic arts education to over 5,000 school children, families, and aging adults through our ClayToGo and ART@HAND outreach programs; and welcomed over 50,000 visitors to our Franklin Avenue galleries, studios, and classrooms.
We've worked tirelessly to advance the ceramic arts and to support the creative endeavors of ceramic artists from across the globe. In our 25 years, we've touched the lives of thousands of makers—aspiring and professional. Here are a few of their stories:
|Jayden, second grade student
|Participants in ART@HAND

Jayden didn't stop smiling the whole rest of the day yesterday after you complimented him. He reads 3 words a minute and struggles mightily in school. He took to the clay like nothing else. This is wonderful for a student like him. He knows now that he's really good at something. Thank you for doing this. —Jayden's second grade classroom teacher
I never really liked clay; I did the class because I was here, but lately I have really fallen in love with this class and am so glad you're here teaching. —Lois, participant in ART@HAND, NCC's 55+ program, shared with teaching artist, Angie Renee
I feel very honored and lucky to have been present for so many beautiful events. I have never felt so feted and respected as an artist, and I appreciate all of the arrangements, introductions, and opportunities prepared specifically for me, in addition to the well-developed and delivered programming present at NCC…I credit my time at NCC for giving me the confidence and push to try anything in my practice. —Amy Santoferraro, visiting artist
It is not without trepidation that I look toward the future, but I am eager to stretch my wings using the tools, resources, and courage I have discovered through MN NICE. I feel honored and proud to have been a part of this program. —Amy Cass, recent graduate from NCC's MN NICE program for adult learners
Northern Clay Center is a wonderful place for inspiration and learning. I am grateful for my experience as a resident artist for two months; it was a very productive and stimulating time. —Kathryn Finnerty, visiting artist

text: I finally found one. It's a Delkin Ddreader 42 USB 3.0. I did a quick speed comparison between the reader built into my monitor, my normal reader, and the new USB 3 reader. My test was copying two files totaling 1.2 gigabytes. I wrote down the throughput reported by Windows as well as the total time from when I dropped the file until the file copy dialog closed. I tested reads and writes. I used a Transcend 32GB 400x CF card for testing. The USB 2 reader and monitor went through a USB hub, which might have affected performance, although I never noticed a difference between direct connection and the hub. Here are the times I saw: Monitor-Write 8.3 MB/s, 2:33 Monitor-Read 9.6 MB/s, 2:13 USB 2 Reader-Write 17 MB/s, 1:15 USB 2 Reader-Read 19 MB/s, 1:10 USB 3 Reader-Write 34.3 MB/s, 0:36 USB 3 Reader-Read 90 MB/s, 0:19 Given that I will use the reader almost exclusively for reading, the 4x speed improvement is well worth the $35 to me. Will you see the same gain? I don't know. It depends on the CF/SD card that you use. It depends on the drive you are writing to. It depends on the USB 3 implementation on your computer.

Unanswered: Odd resource exhaustion issue -- Apache, PHP, Oracle 10g
We have a RHES3 server set up running Apache 2.0.52 w/ PHP 4.3.9 compiled against the Oracle 10g client library. The system functions properly, but slowly but surely the memory usage on each httpd thread inches up until all memory and swap on the box are used. If you restart Apache, all the used memory is released and the system continues functioning normally.
We've noticed that doing a netstat -tupan shows a *lot* of TIME_WAIT items, making it seem like some sort of keep-alive thing was causing connections to stay open and not release their resources. Adding KeepAlive Off to httpd.conf didn't seem to fix this problem.
What *does* work for us (kinda kludgy) is to set MaxRequestsPerChild in httpd.conf to 50 or so. This kills a child after it processes 50 requests and thus frees the resources it was using. So this keeps us up and running without relying on a cron job to restart Apache every 20 minutes or so.
While this works, it seems like we shouldn't need to be doing this. :-) I'm trying to figure out if there are any problems with RHES3, PHP, Apache or the Oracle 10g libraries that could potentially cause this problem. If we can rule this out then it's most likely a problem with the PHP scripts being called. Note that we have three RHES3 servers running this exact same configuration and all of them exhibit this problem--it's just that this server is by far the busiest so the problem pops up much more frequently.
Here are the relevant configuration options:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \
--enable-ssl \
--enable-so \
--enable-rewrite=shared \
--enable-expires \
--enable-info \
--enable-deflate \
'./configure' \
'--with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/client_1' \
'--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' \
'--enable-track-vars' \
'--enable-calendar' \
'--enable-sigchild' \
Not going to attach all of httpd.conf, but here are the prefork config options we're using:
StartServers 15
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 50
Thanks for any insight.

Our Company
In 1986, Rodolfo Contardo Pizarro (RIP) and his business partner began to sell treated wood from Talca, Chile. At the same time, his son Rodolfo Contardo Hederra managed a plant in Chillán, Chile. In 1989, father and son decided to join forces and established a small treating plant in Concón. They were joined by Hederra's brother Rodrigo, and it was named Concón Maderas Impregnadas Ltda (Concón Treated Woods Ltd.). The father of the family died in 1997, at which time his daughter Magdalena was incorporated into the company. By 2005, they opened a plant in Quirihue in the Ñuble Province in the Biobio region of Chile. Today, the company's production is concentrated in Quirihue while the showrooms and distribution center are located in Concón and Maitencillo. Rodolfo Contardo H. serves as General Manager with Guillermo Carabantes, Distribution Center and Sales Manager and Financial and Administrative Manager. His siblings continue to contribute to the company as well: Rodrigo as Head of the play areas and furniture, and Carmen as assistant and secretary of Administration and Finances. They maintain a commercial partnership with Magdalena's company Piedras del Sur (Southern Stones).
Produce treated wood, improve the quality of life of our clients, and contribute to national development. To achieve this, it's necessary to use renewable raw materials, the state of the art technology, and maintain constant development and training of human resources.
Provide our clients with quality wood that meets international wood preservation standards, together with flexible and professional service and a genuine concern for the environment and the global well-being of our families.
At the Quirihue site, we produce a monthly average of 2.400 M3 of treated products in equal parts CCA and MicroPro®. The company consists of modern facilities, a sawmill, a drying bed, bark strippers, and 2 treatment plants with state of the art technology. We recently obtained the Clean Production Agreement (APL) Certification and are part of an ongoing counsel on control and certification of quality wood treated with Eurofins, ex Fundación Chile.
As a company we have always commited a high standard of service, while capable of ensuring the satisfaction of the needs and requirements of our customers.

Classical Music Loved by Los Angeles
Big Music Buildings Impress Our Flying Tour Guests
As any of our guests will tell you when they arrange a helicopter tour of Los Angeles with us, seeing man-made structures from above is completely different from nature's landscapes. They are really surprised when they see what we captured in this aerial photograph over downtown Los Angeles. The odd structure of Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall across the street from the traditional architecture of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Both theaters host classical music concerts like the Los Angeles Philharmonic as well as the L.A. Opera and ballet. However, the range of music hosted at these two venues far exceeds the confines of classical music. New symphonic works, jazz, world music – the range is considerable and there always will be something here for all musical tastes. The Walt Disney Concert Hall extends the opportunities for theatrical culture with its proximity to the Music Center which, besides the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, also includes the Broadway-style Ahmanson Theater and the more intimate Mark Taper Forum. The presence of these music and theater venues so near Grand Park create a wonderful focus of activity in the newly reinvigorated downtown. With this activity in the north part of the downtown area and L.A. Live occupying the southern portion there is so much more to see and do right in downtown Los Angeles there is almost no reason to leave…except maybe to visit Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the beach communities on our custom private Los Angeles tour.
Angels Flight Before La La Land
A Private Tour Can See Angels Flight But Not Ride
It seems that the quick and meaningful glimpse of Angels Flight railway in the critically acclaimed and much appreciated new film LA LA LAND is as close to enjoying a ride on the tiny railroad (298′) as we can expect to get in the near future. The long and interesting history of this funicular (def: two cars counterbalanced on a railway track pulled by rope or cable) is at a standstill now awaiting approval by state agencies to return to business. In fact, the use of the railway in Hollywood film production is apparently included in the prohibition so the LA LA LAND filmmakers were lucky to get their shots completed. However, there is pressure to return the fully-repaired and inspected Angels Flight to public use – perhaps this year. Our private tour of Los Angeles always makes a stop at Angels Flight when we arrive in downtown Los Angeles to see the city's historic core and recent renovations that are part of its ongoing metamorphosis. The railway was very much a part of the beginning of the resurgence of downtown Los Angeles when it was dismantled and moved from its original 1901 location (shown above in this archival black & white photograph) to its current location a half block away. The old transportation system is a cherished look back at earlier (and slower) times. We hope that we will once again ride the wooden cars (Sinai and Olivet) with our guests as a part of their sightseeing in and around Los Angeles with us.
Los Angeles Grows Tall
Construction Cranes Catch the Eyes of Our Private Tour
Our little city on the sea, Los Angeles, is growing. Taller it seems. Where once the U.S. Bank Building was the tallest building west of the Mississippi now there is the Wilshire Grand Center tower just a skosh taller. From Mulholland Drive behind the Hollywood Bowl looking east the new skyscraper adds a bit of balance to the downtown skyline. Even though it is not yet open we are already eager to visit the new building. Just imagine the views afforded by such a majestic height. In the meantime we can take our guests enjoying a private tour of Los Angeles to the top of the former tallest building (only 81′ shorter, officially) where there is not only a restaurant and observation deck but perhaps the scariest sliding board in the world. The plastic chute is fashioned outside of the building and runs from one floor to another. Take about an adventure tour! Besides the giant skyscraper rapidly nearing completion in downtown Los Angeles as you can see in the photograph above there are many construction cranes in Hollywood. Downtown Los Angeles has been preserving the old historic buildings for the most part and adapting and reusing them for new businesses and residences. Hollywood on the other hand is tearing down the old and building new structures. Progress marches on, as the old newsreels use to say (for those of you who remember newsreels in this age of cellphone notifications and headlines). We are happy that production facilities and technology will remain in and around Hollywood as it grows into the future.
More Art in Downtown Los Angeles
We Show Our Private Tour Around the Edge of Downtown Los Angeles
Adaptive Reuse – that is a common expression and term of business art we discuss when we are in downtown Los Angeles on a private tour and sightseeing in the urban core. This means that old buildings, beautiful and historic, instead of being demolished and replaced are instead reengineered to modern safety and construction standards and used again for a contemporary business. Here we are now on the eastern side of downtown Los Angeles near the river when we drive up to one of our newest jewels in the crown of the Los Angeles renaissance. The old Globe Mills, a former flour mill, is now the Hauser Wirth and Schimmel art gallery and bookstore. Much of downtown Los Angeles during the past several decades has been adopted by the art community who were already there in the "derelict" years before the community began to envision the potential of downtown and began a concerted effort to rebuild, reuse and redevelop the downtown core that was so vibrant in its heyday before WWII. HW&S is a global art seller and exhibitor and has created an exquisite gallery for its collection of the works of modern artists. There is also an art bookstore and lunch restaurant, Manuela.
A Visit to Los Angeles' Past
Los Angeles Then and Now for Our Private Tour
Driving into Los Angeles you would never see daytime traffic so sparse as in this frame from a home made film of 1954. Also, the tallest building downtown was City Hall just like so many of our private Los Angeles tour guests remember from the television series Dragnet with Jack Webb. "This is the city, Los Angeles, California …" While traffic is greater now we like to think that our large SUV is much more comfortable than the tall round vehicles of those days. We probably get better mileage too and pollute less. City Hall remains an impressive structure to visit when we tour downtown but there are so many much, much taller skyscrapers today – a real skyline. There is lots of history downtown, too, for our guests to explore with us if they are so inclined. After all, Los Angeles began by a small river near where Union Station is today and walking distance from City Hall.
L.A. Live – Downtown's Beating Heart
Our Private Tour Guests Love L.A. Live
Some of our Los Angeles private tour guests even stay here in the heart of downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). L.A. Live is more than a slick name and logo it is a considerable force in the renewed life of a once failing downtown core. Grand hotels (including the Ritz-Carlton), movie theaters, the Microsoft Theater for live performance and many of the award shows seen by millions on television, the Staples Center which is home to four professional sports teams (Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Sparks) as well as a regular concert venue for mega stars (Selena Gomez and Carrie Underwood coming up later this year), the Grammy Museum for lovers of all kinds of music and the L.A. Convention Center all are part of this redeveloped quarter at the southern end of downtown. We can easily spend a half of a tour day exploring and enjoying what L.A. Live has to offer. We also like to show our guests the historic parts of town, too. Old Broadway (undergoing its own renaissance right now as former movie palaces become entertainment showcases once again), the great downtown library, Pershing Square and the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, the former banking zone now an arts district of creatively reused office and business space, Chinatown with its important contributions to the history of Los Angeles and the birthplace of Los Angeles, Olvera Street – all of these sights and destinations and many more can impress any visitor to Los Angeles easily as much as Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the neighborhoods where we showcase celebrity homes and hangouts. Just so you know, this is a photo taken from a tour helicopter as we came through downtown and will be a part of the tour photo album our guests will have by the end of the day.
Downtown Los Angeles in the Mist
Our Private Tour Gets Awesome Aerial Photographs
Los Angeles is probably one of the most photographed cities in the world if only because this is a major media center. Movies, television, and news networks create millions of photographs and film sequences a year. Add in the fact that everyone has at least one camera equipped cell phone with them at all times and we can hardly imagine the number of images that are created every single day here in Los Angeles. And we contribute to that. Our guides all carry with them very high quality digital SLR cameras and as part of their duties photograph their guests and the places they go throughout their private Los Angeles tour – even from inside their tour helicopter as seen above while the tour group flew toward downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) and were nearing Echo Park Lake. All of these photographs go into a digital tour album that the family can share and distribute as they wish. Imagine photographs of the entire family all the time, no missing persons. Imagine having someone taking photographs who does it every day and knows the best places and angles to take pictures of all the famous locations in and around Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Venice and downtown Los Angeles. We do this so often our pilots know exactly where to slow or hover so that the best aerial photographs are possible.
Up in the Sky Even Before Takeoff
Hundreds of Feet Up Already Our Private Tour Prepares for Flight
The skies are clear and the wind is calm at our rooftop helipad in downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). We are taking photos of our guests posing with their luxury helicopter before we take to the sky for a one-hour flight around Los Angeles. We are ready to show them several local universities from the air: USC, UCLA, Loyola and Pepperdine. Maybe they will want to go to school in this wonderful city. We will also get a good look at the Los Angeles beaches from Marina del Rey all the way to Malibu. We will encourage them to compare celebrity homes on the surf and movie star mansions in the hills nearer Hollywood Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air… there are some amazing properties to see from above as we soar over the traffic on Sunset Boulevard. If our guests think the rooftop departure was exciting, suddenly seeing themselves way above the sidewalks of downtown, then just wait until we circle in between the tall buildings enroute to our gentle landing on what seems at first way too small a landing zone. This is better than an amusement park ride. We'll finish off the tour with a sightseeing excursion in our SUV to see close up some of the wonderful sights of the city we just saw from the air.
Sliding High Above Los Angeles
Now Our Private Tour in Downtown L.A. Can Visit the Top of the US Bank Tower
Every movie and television program featuring the Los Angeles skyline focuses on the tallest building west of the Mississippi, the US Bank Tower. Rising 1,018 feet (72 stories) above Fifth Street in downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) it is taller by far than any other skyscrapers and easy to locate from anywhere you look in the L.A. basin. Our guides tell wonderful stories about the super structure as it appeared in Hollywood productions and as it served the business history of the city. We often take our private Los Angeles tour families to explore downtown and make a point of mentioning and driving past. We do the same when we are airborne on a custom helicopter tour of Los Angeles (above, at dusk). Two things we can say about the US Bank Tower today. Soon (June) we will be able to visit the top floors of the tower where a glass slide on the outside of the building will be open allowing us to quickly descend from the 70th to the 69th floor, from the bar (good idea!) to the observation deck. Called Skyslide it is just a part of Skyspace L.A., a very extensive remodeling of the 27-year old building. The other thing we can say is that there will very soon be an even taller building nearby on Wilshire Boulevard and Figueroa. Maybe having lost the reputation as the West's tallest building the US Bank Tower will still be the coolest.
Sunny Los Angeles – Bring Sunglasses
Our Private Tour Guests All Brought Their Sunglasses
And a good thing, too. Sunny Southern California is not a Hollywood-created description but a real phenomenon. There is sunshine here even in the midst of a desirably wet El Niño which thankfully is returning our lawns to green and filling our reservoirs and aquifers. We even have snow once again sugaring the tops of our local mountains and the nearby ski facilities are all doing bustling business. As you can see, most days out on a private Los Angeles tour our guests would be squinting against the low rays of a winter sun if not for sunglasses. The weather is even warm enough for short sleeves for our hardier visitors (from the north). The best part of a winter visit to Los Angeles are the clear skies. Precipitation and cooler temperatures bring great visibility (for a coastal community). On clear days you can easily see downtown Los Angeles from the Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Hills and even the Santa Monica Mountains near the beach. Catalina Island is often plainly in view. Mt. Baldy in the San Gabriel Mountains will be snow-capped and easy to locate. Besides seeing everything that is all around Los Angeles we like to show our guests important locations up close where we can take their pictures…with sunglasses on.

Bob Benson hit on Pete Campbell. Peggy propositioned Stan Rizzo. Don Draper got caught in the act. Last night's Mad Men was an incredible combination of everything we love about Sterling Cooper and all of the other letters that were dropped from the agency's name.
It, essentially, starts off with Betty laying into Sally over her plans to take part in the model U.N. and stay in a "Midtown hotel with all those boys." Sally responds by, ahem, positing that she could just stay with Don and Megan. Betty lashes back with a sarcastic, "Your father is a hero!" because, foreshadowing.
Don Draper enters his apartment and sees his wife on the couch with a young, long-haired man in bell bottoms. The '70s: just around the corner. We learn that the young man is Mitchell, the son of Arnold and Sylvia Rosen. He's confided in Megan that he returned his draft card in protest and has been designated 1A. He could be called any day and he's thinking about fleeing to Canada and was seeking Megan's help because, clearly, a moderately famous soap opera actress is probably a high-ranking member of the Canadian Illuminati. After Mitchell leaves, Megan and Don discuss the possibility of helping Mitchell. Don doesn't want toget involved, but commented on the notion of dodging with, "He can't spend the rest of his life on the run." Don is DEFINITELY going to end up in the ninth circle of hell.
Dr. Rosen comes down to apologize for his son burdening the Drapers with the draft issue. Don and Dr. Rosen head to a bar to talk out the Mitchell situation and serve up a quintessential Mad Men scene. They gloss over Mitchell's options while vaguely discussing their pasts and debating the merits of the war and serving their country. Instead of offering actual insight or advice, Don deflects most of the conversation with poetic quips and observations about 19-year-old soldiers being unaware of other people's mortality. It's moments like these that make Don Draper so appealing in spite of his debauchery and infidelity. We'll later learn that he's still very much in love with Dr. Rosen's wife. But, that doesn't prevent him from sharing a drink with the man and commiserating over his hardships. Sure, Don's actions are self-serving (to some extent), but his concern for Dr. Rosen's predicament are very real. His desire to be with Sylvia and his interest in Dr. Rosen's gruesome heartache are not mutually exclusive. He's selfish, but not sinister.
Meanwhile, up in the club, just broke up, and Peggy's doin' her own little thing. Just a few weeks after stabbing her boyfriend and getting dumped in the back of an ambulance, homegirl's got a wandering eye as she spent a "business" dinner flirting with Pete Campbell and Teddy Chaough, as if there wasn't already enough competition at Sterling Cooper. Then, when she traps a rat in the crappy apartment left over from her stint playing house with Abe, she rings up her work-husband, Rizzo, and tries to ply him with the promise of sexual favors. Hilariously, though, Rizzo's already post-coital with another lady and, again, Peggy's left alone in a bloody, rat-infested apartment.
Peggy probably won't be alone for long, though, as the Chaough household feels more and more like la casa de Draper circa Season 1 with each passing episode. His inferiority complex has him so obsessed with escaping Don Draper's shadow that he's been absent at home and tense at the office. Speaking of tense at the office, Chaough's little tantrum was wonderful. And, the fact that it was all over juice made the ordeal sound that much more infantile. They're a bunch of man-children arguing over who has better juice. (For the record, Capri Sun and Yoo-Hoo probably go for the most on the lunch table black market.)
As the folks at Sterling Cooper struggle to get their juices in order, Pete Campbell is dealing with his own mini crisis because his mother's at-home caregiver was shoplifting the pootie. This storyline gave us two of the greatest moments in recent Mad Men history, though. For as endearing as Campbell may have been in this episode, it was still tremendous to watch his mother chastise, "You were a sad, little boy and you're a sad, little man." Nothing beats someone putting Pete in his place. Then, there was the knee-touch heard round the world when Bob Benson made a pass at Campbell.
As Pete Campbell dodges sexual advances from Mad Men's Greatest Mystery: Bob Benson, Don is hard at work trying to help his neighbor/mistress' son dodge the draft. He "takes the temperature" of some of the Chevy folks and that does NOT sit well with Teddy Chaough. Chaough stormed into Draper's office and chews him out. Eventually, they broker a deal in which Chaough will help Mitchell avoid Vietnam thanks to a contact in the Air National Guard. In exchange, he asks that Don lower his weapons and give in on Ocean Spray, which is incredibly ironic because Don's basically the only Sterling Cooper employee that hasn't seemed to notice that there's a civil war going on at the agency.
Teddy Chaough's, "Don't be an a**hole, Don," should be Mad Men's new tagline.
So, Don gets on the horn to deliver the good news to Dr. Rosen, but ends up speaking with Sylvia, the only woman to dump him in the show's five and a half seasons. He plays it cool, but clearly still has feelings for her. Much like with his little escapade in room 503, Don realizes that, having saved Sylvia's son from certain death in Vietnam, he's got an upper hand in their ongoing power struggle.
Sally Draper manages to con the doorman into giving her the set of master keys and sneaks into the Rosens' apartment to steal back a sleepover-game-turned-love-note that her friend delivered for Mitchell. She walks into the apartment and (BOOM!) her father and Sylvia were full-on in the middle of it on the bed. She storms out and Don chases her. When he can't catch up with her, he ends up drinking at a bar alone because he's Don Draper and that's what Don Draper does.
The final scene was like something out of a Tennessee Williams play. A drunken Don stumbles into his apartment, struggling to fit his key into the door, only to be greeted by his wife, his daughter, and his daughter's friend sitting in the dining room with dinner spread out across the table. Megan tries to turn it into a Norman Rockwell moment, insisting that her husband sit down and eat dinner. Don's trying to play it cool, making eye contact with Sally who's clearly bothered by what she saw earlier.
Then, there's a knock at the door and Arnold and Mitchell Rosen pop in to thank Don for saving him from the draft. Mitchell shakes Don's hand and Dr. Rosen offers an "I owe ya." Megan kisses him and calls him the sweetest man. Much like the scene with Dr. Rosen ealier, Don is able to navigate the duality of the moment. He accepts the praise from his wife and Dr. Rosen while stricken with panic and guilt that Sally caught him in the act. His regret and his self-satisfaction are not mutually exclusive.
Sally can hardly contain herself and screams at her father. She says he makes her sick. After locking herself in her room, she listens as Don speaks to her from the other side of the door. He explains that he was just "comforting" Mrs. Rosen. But, Sally's too grown up to buy it. This is the girl that walked in on Megan's mother, ahem, pleasuring Roger Sterling. This is the girl that signed up for diplomacy club because it's just another excuse to make out. She knows all too well that her father is not a hero.
- Megan = Not Dead (yet?)
- Exactly zero appearances from Joan this week. Not cool, Matthew Weiner. Not cool at all.
- "See? Not all surprises are bad." - Roger Sterling. This stood out to me in terms of the whole Mad Men is talking about itself thing. Same goes for Culter's, "I warned you about the memos, Ted. The more you send, the less they get read." Felt like a nod to all of the red herrings Weiner and company have been scattering throughout Season 6.
- Can we talk about Pete Campbell's hair? Because I feel like we need to talk about Pete Campbell's hair.
- "Imagine if every time Ginger Rogers jumped in the air, Fred Astaire punched her in the face." Ladies and gentlemen, Teddy Chaough.
- We've finally found something better than Mad Men: Mad Men with Mets jokes.
ARNOLD: I've been meaning to knock on your door, anyway. You know, catch a game or something. I get baseball tickets. Mostly the Mets.
DON: Well, then I'm glad you didn't.

Jennie Grant has always wished to be a healer, but when her clan becomes involved in the violence that has broken out across the Highlands, it shakes her belief in herself. She no longer knows if she can work in a trade where life and death exist in such a fine balance. Desperate to clear her head and spend some time away from the wounded men who crowd the sickroom in the Grant keep, she travels to Lochluin Abbey for sanctuary. But even there, she cannot escape her calling. The abbey sits on the land of the Cameron clan, and when the new chieftain is injured in battle, Jennie is the only person capable of saving him.
Though Aedan Cameron would sooner spend his life as a scholar, reading, and watching the stars than assume a leadership role in his clan, his father's untimely death forces his hand. To make matters worse, he's immediately called upon to ride into battle to protect his land and his people. But everything changes for Aedan when a beautiful girl with a mind as curious as his own heals him. Suddenly, he realizes he's capable of becoming the leader his father wanted him to be while still pursuing the stars. Aedan recognizes his soul mate in Jennie, but can their love survive the mysterious threat to his land?

Wonderful book, wonderful audio!
I would recommend not only this book, but the entire series to all my friends. Paul Woodson always does a magnificent job of bringing the characters to life through his ability and range to suit the voices to the characters.
I don't have just one favorite character in this series, however I can't wait to hear the audio of Loki's story.

Britten's Children Hardback
by John Bridcut
"Britten's Children" confronts the edgy subject of the composer's obsessional, yet strangely innocent relationships with adolescent boys.
One of the hallmarks of Benjamin Britten's music is his use of boys' voices, and John Bridcut uses this to create a fresh prism through which to view the composer's life.
Interweaving discussion of the music he wrote for and about children with interviews with the boys whom Britten befriended, Bridcut explores the influence of these unique friendships - notably with the late David Hemmings - and how they helped Britten maintain links with his own happy childhood.
In a remarkable part of the book, Bridcut tells for the first time the full story of Britten's love affair in the 1930s with the 18-year-old German Wulff Scherchen, son of the conductor Hermann Scherchen.
As Paul Hoggart of "The Times" commented, "this type of love belonged to an emotional landscape that has vanished for ever, and we are the poorer for it".
Since making the film, the author has extended his research to include friendships Britten had with children which have not previously been documented.

Review by edwinbcn
Benjamin Britten's interest in young men is a part of his life that was downplayed in biographies, such as Humphrey Carpenter's 1992 Benjamin Britten: A Biography. Britten's interest in boys, however, was not only a personal matter, but formed an evasive part of his activities as a composer, with many works written for or to include either many roles for boys or choirs of boy's voices. At the same time, this interest and the relations Britten had with many, many boys throughout his life were the cause of rumours, questioning whether or not these relationships remained pure and platonic. Thus, a specialized biography focussing on this part of Britten's life was called for, and John Bridcut's book Britten's children addresses all these questions admirably.W. H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood and Benjamin Britten were contemporaries. They knew each other well, and Auden and Isherwood, just six and nine years older than Britten, respectively, advised him to stay away from boys and, instead, focus on homosexual relationships. Benjamin Britten did form a life-long gay partnership with Peter Pears, but many parts of Britten's children suggest that for Britten his relationships with young boys, with whom he could at times be madly in love, stood over and above his relationship with Pears. There are several suggestions that his relationship with Pears suffered.Britten's children brings out very clearly that Benjamin Britten was most likely pedophile, and that his interest in children was particularly focussed on boys aged around 13. Not just Isherwood and Auden were worried about Britten's interest in boys. While they acted as concerned mentors, other close associates of Britten, such as librettist and producer Eric Crozier were worried and said in 1966 that feared Britten would "corrupt" boys. However, apart from a single case where Britten crossed the line, when he fondled the thirteen-year-old boy Harry Morris who spent his holiday with Britten in Cornwall, it seems that Britten was sufficiently restrained to admire "his children" but keep their relations entirely platonic. John Bridcut sought out several of the "young friends" of Benjamin Britten and found that none of them felt harmed in any way by their youthful relations with the composer, although some had experienced some agony at the time, as the relations dissolved.Britten's children offers a wealth of material about Britten's relationships with young boys, and particularly his relationship with the young German boy Wulff Scherchen, who was Britten's eye apple in 1938 - 39. The chapters devoted to the development of this relation are particularly interesting, as they most clearly establish the relationship and affinities between Auden, Isherwood and Britten, showing similarities in their outlook on life. This was also the period when Auden met and started his life-long relationship with Chester Kallman, while Britten's relation with "Wullfchen" echoes the adventures of Isherwood and Stephen Spender in Germany, shortly before the war.After the War, back in Europe, Britten's career as a composer really took off, and the biography describes the significance and the role the children played in the creation of his major works. Such descriptions are largely missing from other biographies and descriptions of the works of Britten.Britten's children is of particular interest to readers interested in the composer, but also, emphatically, readers interested in the early history of the gay lifestyle and the circle around W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood.
