Spurs interested in BayHawks coach
With the recent loss of Toros coach Quin Snyder to the Philadelphia 76ers, and the hiring of former Spur Danny Ferry to take over as Toros General Manager, it was only a matter of time before we'd hear about prospective coaches for the San Antonio Spurs' D-League affiliate.
John Treolar, the man Ferry handpicked to coach the Erie BayHawks when Ferry was the Cavs GM, is the first name to surface.
Treloar, 53, has been contacted by National Basketball Association teams, according to two sources close to the situation.
He led Erie to the playoffs in its 2008-09 expansion season with a 27-23 record, then went 21-29 in 2009-10. Treloar agreed to a two-year contract extension with Erie earlier this summer.
According to GoErie.com, the Spurs may have some competition for Treolar from new Suns General Manager Lance Blanks, who was Ferry's assistant in Cleveland.
To discuss the rumor, I talked to D-League writer and BayHawks fan, Matt Hubert, of D-League Digest and formerly of Blog Talk BayHawk.
According to Hubert, Treolar will fit in well with the Toros and should do a good job as Snyder's successor.
"They are two different personality of coaches, but you'll have that in any coaching change," Hubert said, "Quin is more of a character type of guy, but it wouldnt be a problem, it would just be a different style."
However, there may not be much of a chance for the Toros to bring him in, considering that he just signed a two-year extension with the BayHawks.
"That seems like a lateral move from unless he has word from Ferry that he may move up as an assistant coach with the Spurs," Hubert said.
When it comes to coaching defense and working under the Spurs and coaching their schemes, Hubert says Treolar should fit right in.
"That would work out great, he comes from a mindset that definitely values defense." "I think thats something he certainly preached to the BayHawks team."

Thanks to Matt for continuing to share his D-League knowledge and make sure to read more from him over at D-League Digest.

Europe, 1347. A disaster is about to strike. The Black Death reaches Europe, and during the next 4 - 5 years, the population of Europe will be halved. The players settle in the various regions of Europe, while the plague spreads throughout all of the continent. The players gain help from the various classes of the middle ages: The Peasants provide population growth, the wise Monks keep the rats away, the rich Merchants flee when the plague approaches, the warfare conducted by the Knights spreads the plague to new areas, the Witches control the spread through magic and witchcraft, whereas the Kings avoid the plague by staying in their fortified palaces. But the plague does not make any distinction: When the rats arrive, no one can feel safe. When the plague withdraws and the game ends, the player with the highest surviving population wins.

Contents: board, board, 49 rat tokens, 80 wooden cubes, 1 Plague pawn, 6 character cards, rules

Bridge Troll
$19.99Out of stock

In BRIDGE TROLL, you and your friends are hideous trolls who each guard a troll bridge. Each turn, you throw boulders to bid for travelers, who vary in number depending on the weather for that day.

Travelers include fat merchants, pilgrims, poor monks (who make good eating), and if you are lucky, royal personages. As travelers come to your bridge, you use them to collect tolls. But watch out! Knights, bandits, dragons, and vicious Billy Goats Gruff prowl the countryside. You'll have to use some of your boulders to chase them away (which means you'll have fewer left to use on your bridge!).

Although you need to collect tolls from travelers so you can buy building supplies, working on your bridge makes you hungry, so you will have to eat some of your travelers instead. It is important to balance tolls with food in order to make your bridge very appealing to travelers. If you eat too many travelers or just collect money, you won't be able to fix up your bridge. The player who uses toll-money,
food, and boulders to build the most impressive troll bridge operation wins the game.

Contents: 6 Troll Bridge Boards, 54 Boulders (wood cubes), 53 Traveler Cards, 15 Bridge Upgrade Cards, 4 Travel Schedules, 6 Trophy Tiles, 6 Rules Summary Cards, 1 Weather Die, Rulebook, and Scoring Markers.

Philanthropist Malaak Compton-Rock
Oprah.com | January 01, 2008
As the wife of actor/comedian Chris Rock, Malaak Compton-Rock has made a name for herself as a philanthropist and, most recently, as a judge on the upcoming ABC reality show
Oprah's Big Give
. Holly and Rodney talk to Malaak about her involvement in the show.
Malaak says she has always held philanthropic work very close to her heart. In
Oprah's Big Give
, Malaak judges contestants as they run around the country doing good for other people and trying to out-give one another. She says traveling to each city and judging the contestants was the best part because the opportunity to be involved in charity, as opposed to just
money, is so important. "I am the type of humanitarian who likes to be deep in the trenches," she says.
Instead of judging her contestants harshly during the competition, she prefers to remain positive. "I try to offer encouragement," she says. "If I have a criticism, I try to also give them encouraging words as to how they can do better the next time around." She says in the case of
Oprah's Big Give
, there is no point for the judges to be cruel. "You can't be mean on a show like
Oprah's Big Give
," she says. "They are doing nothing but running around the country giving back to others."
Malaak continues her philanthropic work as founder and director of her latest undertaking, The Angelrock Project, which aims to inform people about various charity organizations and how they can become involved. She says people who are interested in any type of community service can go through the project to find out information about how they can volunteer in their area, give money, support sustainable living projects and much more.

Alcohol use and memory loss — blackouts? | related questions Originally Published: April 26, 1996 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: December 22, 2009 |
Share this |
What exactly does "blacking out" from alcohol mean? Can people get so drunk that it is physiologically impossible for them to remember what happened the next day? Also, is it possible for someone to walk around, talk to people, etc., and then have no way of remembering those actions?
Dear Reader,
Yes, indeed. Blackouts, defined as periods of amnesia (memory loss), are caused when alcohol consumption levels prevent the formation of memories in the brain. These levels vary from person to person, and the time frame of these memory lapses is not always marked by visible altered states of consciousness. For example, you and your friends could go to a bar tonight, have some drinks, and talk about politics. But tomorrow, when your friends recall in detail the previous evening's discourse, you may not recall the actual conversation even though you were a full and competent participant. This point is important because blackouts are often confused with passing out, which does constitute a change in consciousness.
Blackouts are common among alcohol abusers and can be a warning sign to drinkers and their friends that alcohol-related problems exist. Blackouts are also considered an early high-risk indicator of alcoholism. For problem and healthy drinkers alike, blackouts are often troubling or traumatic when serious and typically unforgettable occurrences are impossible to remember, such as... I don't recall slapping her! You're kidding, I took my pants off and danced on the bar? Did I have sex with that guy last night? Or even, was he wearing a condom? It can be pretty sobering to realize that, in the end, we are responsible for our actions, whether we remember them or not. It's too bad when we forget, for life, really pleasurable things like a party, meeting new people, or intimate moments of sexual pleasure.
If you are concerned about your own blackouts, or the memory-challenging episodes of others, cutting back or setting limits on alcohol intake is one option. If the problem is chronic, and a symptom of more serious drinking or other drug use, professional support or assistance is the next step. If you are at Columbia, call Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) at x4-2878 to make an appointment with a therapist who specializes in these issues. Elsewhere, contact the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information at (800) 729-6686 for free educational information and resources on alcohol-related health topics.

100 Best Albums of the Nineties
Counting Crows, 'August and Everything After'
An artfully crafted, intimate song cycle, August and Everything After seemed to explode on impact. Vividly produced by T Bone Burnett, its post-punk bleakness married to old-school rock influences, August became that rare album over which both alterna-kids and classic rockers could bond. Sure, there are a few moments when you can hear how badly the Crows want to be Van Morrison, the Band, R.E.M. and, yes, Bob Dylan, but those don't offset the divine inspiration of "Rain King," "Round Here" and "A Murder of One."

For many alumni, government careers offer the best opportunity to serve

The Nation's Librarian
When Cheryl Adams '79 first moved to Washington, she would sit in the Library of Congress thumbing through the phone book just to be in the beautiful main reading room.
Now she works there as a reference librarian, but her awe of the magnificence of the room hasn't subsided. The 160-foot-high dome was built in 1897, she said, gesturing toward the eight stained-glass windows high above the room.

Photo by Fred Field
Working in such a picturesque place is just one of the perks of being a librarian, Adams said. Every day she combs through books assisting people with their research——and adds to her own knowledge. "There's nothing you can't be curious about,— said Adams, who lives in Falls Church, Va. "It's like having this incredible wealth around you at all times.—
When there's a question she can't answer, there's a gold mine of resources, she said. "I don't know if I'm an expert on anything, but I can certainly find out [anything].—
Soft-spoken, Adams might be pegged for a librarian even outside her workplace. The profession has appealed to her since she was a child. "I used to make my sister take out my books and I'd fine her when she'd bring them back [late],— she said, adding that she was an avid reader as a child.
Adams's reference specialty is religion—something she didn't expect, despite her religion major at Colby. Take a look around her office space and her passion for the subject is obvious: a makeshift shrine of miniature religious figures sits in one corner and a Tibetan prayer flag is draped from the ceiling.
Despite—or perhaps because of—her work in religion, Adams doesn't practice a particular faith. She grew up Lutheran and now has a strong interest in Buddhism, but doesn't consider herself Buddhist, she said.
Growing up in Buffalo, N.Y. and Portland, Maine, she earned a master's in library science in the mid-80s. "Nobody was a religion major back then,— said Adams, who spent her junior year studying religion in England and biked across the United States after graduation.
Now in her 18th year working at the Library of Congress, Adams is a member of the American Theological Library Association and, like many of her colleagues, teaches a research-methods class and a special course for seminary faculty and students. "People come looking for everything from their favorite book as a kid to something very complicated,— she said. The most popular inquiries in her division, humanities and social sciences, are about military history, family history, and politics and government. With her help, the public gains access to resources that help them answer their questions, Adams said.
"I feel very lucky,— she said, "to really love what I do.—

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
But it could be seen another way, just as it sounds coming out of Janice's mouth. Science fiction often depicts societies in the future that are different than our own. It might be that at that particular time in history Human females actually could not be assigned to the posting of Captain, that there was a "glass ceiling" in place, there had been one for some years, and would be for another twenty odd years in the Trek universe. There no requirement that the mid 23rd century be a exact analog of the early 21st century. Even today among the western nations, it quite rare for a female officer to be given command of a combatant naval vessel. Step out of the "in-universe" for a moment, and look at it from a story telling point of view. Having money in the story, with all the things that come with that, adds a level of complexity to the life's of the characters that otherwise would be absent. Having no money would be simplistic and easy. It'd be like having a planet with one climate (desert, forest, ice). One race. One culture. One religion. One style of dress. "In-universe," (out of range of the cameras) the worlds visited likely aren't the same everywhere, they're complex and diverse So "in-universe" the bolt of cloth did come out of Beverly's pay, and the poker games did have monetary gambling, the O'Brien's wedding gift from the replicator was deducted from Worf's account. And when you get food and drink in Ten Forward, you do pay for it. Tell you what, let us cut this down to a basic fact of the show ... WE SEE AND HEAR THEM USING MONEY. Take for example the house we see Kirk in (Generations). Kirk clearly states that he owned the house, and he sold the house at some point. While there is some debate, the usual interpretation is that the time period where Kirk is cooking the eggs is between TMP and TWOK. So prior to the events of TVH, Kirk owned a piece of real estate, that he would sell. Scotty bought a boat, Uhura tried to buy a tribble.
What is in the least "self-contradictory" about any of that?

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
Look, people can try to rationalize this all they want. The simple fact is that despite what Picard may want Lily to believe, we have seen on-screen evidence time and time and time again that Federation citizens do use money of some sort. From Scotty buying a boat to Crusher buying a bolt of fabric to Sisko buying real estate. There are tons of examples. Way too many to hand wave away. |

She said it in a way as to suggest that people in the 24th century naturally didn't. Thing there is we've seen people struggle to save the live's of others, rush friends to sickbay, and even duck behind rocks when fired upon. Are these the actions of individuals in a society that possessed no fear of death? |

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
I'd say Picard's FIRST CONTACT line about "the economics of the 24th century" was the writer handing us a simplistic fairy tale of future socialist utopia. It was doubly insulting to our intelligence because there was no economic thought behind it and no respect for past continuity. Kirk's ST4 line, "These people are still using money," was probably intended as a statement of the same lefty Hollywood fairy tale, and similarly insulting in its vacuity, but it can be set aside as a reference to physical currency as others have said. Picard's line is unworkable and inexcusable. |

Asian Design Style Tutorial

Asian style envelopes a variety of looks, including design elements from Japan, China, Vietnam and Thailand, among others. Japanese and Chinese interiors are detailed below.
Traditional Japanese interiors are sized according to a 3' x 6' human form, represented by natural fiber floor coverings called tatami mats. Colors found in natural materials like bamboo and stone are used to create a serene, calm environment. Furnishings, although spare, include shoji screens, futons and low-profile tables that, in a traditional setting, are paired with cushions for dining. Lighting is a key design element achieved through an abundance of natural light filtered through natural fiber window shades. Low-wattage bulbs in rice-paper lamps add to the aesthetic. Silk fabrics featuring intricate embroidered patterns (like kimonos) can be framed and displayed as art.
Colors - Shades of gray, brown and green are offset with small spots of brighter hues found in Japanese florals like orchids, silk embroidered fabrics and pottery.
Accessories - Japanese interiors often include natural elements like water features that are not only beautiful to look at, but contribute to a feeling of calm and connection to the outside world.
Chinese interiors are identifiable through highly-stylized or carved furnishings featuring handpainted designs on lacquered finishes, brightly-colored accessories and ornaments or statues of animals or mythical creatures. Red is used abundantly as a symbol of good luck.
Colors - Chinese-styled interiors are bold with bright colors used for accent. Dark wood tones and high-gloss finishes combine for a dramatic, sophisticated palette.

I can relate to Reginagirl's happiness - good to hear it BTW, happy that you're happy.
My happiness comes from this most amazing week I've had - I told you all last week that we won a Timmie's BBQ. Well, two days later, my boss sent a message - I got 2 raises at the same time, one retroactive for nearly a year! Over the past few days, my boss and I have been in discussions about changing the type of work I do and she's moving forward with looking for a replacement for me so that we can get on with the changes. Then this morning, personnel sent out a message that there's a bonus coming our way, should be here in 4-6 weeks. Then one of my co-workers called and passed on the message that when the union contracts are settled, there'll be another increase for those of us not in the union. I can hardly believe this is all happening - God IS Good! I guess now would be the time to buy a lottery ticket!!!LOL
that is a good week! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
a big congrats to you ..what a way to start the spring....!!!
any new purchases in your head??lol :)
for sure i would get out there and buy those tickets. Im so happy for you, that is awesome news....CONGRATS girl...only happier days ahead

Analytics Attribution Modeling… Savvy?
<< by Nelson Hudspeth on April 18th, 2013
Multi-Channel Attribution is a pretty big topic in our industry, and most of us aren't as knowledgeable as we would like to be on the subject. Attribution modeling attempts to solve the problem of which channel gets credit when a user touches multiple channels prior to converting. The problem with attribution models historically has been that they segment attributes at the single channel level: paid search, social media, direct traffic, organic search, etc., and often lack the ability to simultaneously compare various models across a multi-channel format.

The dreaded "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" exception.
Frank Kieviet has two excellent posts that explain the dreaded "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" error and more importantly how to use some new Java 6 tools to diagnose the source of the problem. The first post in particular highlights a very subtle issue with classloader/reference handling that anyone developing code for multiple-classloader environments needs to be aware of.
Alessandro Ribeiro also has an interesting three post piece where he shows how to use the JDK 1.5 'jps' and 'jstat' tools to help diagnose the same problem (hint: "jstat -gcpermcapacity
Users have been running into this when running Eclipse-based products on Sun's JDK 1.5 for some time and Eclipse Bug 92250 has been quietly collating lots of feedback and suggestions from the Eclipse community along the way. A lot of people have been lurking/waiting/hoping that someone would identify the source(s) of the issue and produce a fix so it is good to see increased activity there. However, the recent debate about whether this is a Sun or Eclipse (where I found links to the above blog posts – thanks Karsten!) issue might be a little discouraging but it appears there is acknowledgement that some responsibility lies within the Eclipse community to help diagnose the problem.
I'd imagine many adapters would be willing to lend a hand in diagnosing this since it is a potential stability issue for all Eclipse based products when run on what is the de-facto Java VM. However, I suspect any such analysis effort would need to be done in coordination with some platform/WTP folks since they would need a good insight into the expected behaviour of all of the active bundles to be able to determine which are at fault (or if indeed the fault lies with the VM)
What intrigues me about this issue is that Eclipse/Equinox doesn't normally destroy classloaders so classloaders not getting garbage collected can't be the source of the problem. But with that assertion, how can any application be hitting a 512Mb permGen limit? It does smell of a VM bug but then why doesn't it happen with other Java based applications? Clearly some feature common to many Eclipse applications is rubbing the Sun VM up the wrong way.
I guess the only way to find out is to do a very deep analysis but a pre-requisite for that is to find a simple use case that can reliably and repeatedly reproduce the problem. We don't seem to have one with our product but perhaps someone else out there does.

Wal-Mart Uses PR Flack Posing As Journo to Infiltrate LA Labor Event
Surprise, surprise. Wal-Mart was just busted using shady PR tactics to lobby for its proposed LA Chinatown store.
Last week, members of the Warehouse Workers Union allowed a self-professed USC student journalist named "Zoe Mitchell" to cover a closed event dealing with the Chinatown Wal-Mart. Yesterday, however, WWU found out that "Zoe Mitchell" was actually Mercury Public Affairs associate Stephanie Harnett–a flack working for Wal-Mart on the Chinatown campaign. They sent word about the mole to Gawker, who published a piece on the shenanigans.
Wal-Mart spokesman Steven Restivo told Gawker: "These actions were unacceptable, misleading and wrong. Our culture of integrity is a constant at Walmart and by not properly identifying herself, this individual's behavior was contrary to our values and the way we do business. We insist that all our vendors conduct themselves in a way that is transparent and honest and we will reinforce that expectation to help ensure this type of activity is not repeated."
Harnett is apparently "no longer with the company."

Paul Konerko went 5-for-5 yesterday with his 31st homer. Paul Konerko is also winning your league for you. You had your back up against the wall. You took Hanley in the first round, Halladay in the 2nd and then you hit the 20th round and you were like, "Hmm… I totally screwed myself by not taking a 1st baseman. Do I take that guy on the Marlins with a girl's name or should I take Konerko?" When you took Konerko, you figured you would need to trade for someone. Whoa, what's this? Konerko's hitting? "Hey, baby, you're eating dinner by yourself tonight. Paul Konerko due up sixth this inning, according to Fantasycast. Now please don't come into my man cave." When you go to the White Sox Fantasy Camp in seven years, you can tell him how he won your league for you while ruining your marriage. These late round fliers in drafts are always so maddening. If I would've just took Konerko instead of Stupid-Face Headley. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Mark Buehrle – 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 4 Ks. His season ERA is down to 3.87 and 12 wins is pretty good, but that's now 8 Ks in 28 IP for August. Is there a less aptly-surnamed player in the game? Seems like Mark Crafty or Mark Wiley would be better names.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

iMac launch should have been delayed, admits Apple's CEO
The new iMacs should have been announced in 2013 instead of last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook has admitted.
During Apple's second-quarter earnings conference call on Tuesday, Cook acknowledged that customers had to wait too long to receive their iMacs after the new models were announced last October.
"If we could run it over, frankly, I would have announced the iMac after the turn of the year," Cook said. "Because we felt our customers had to wait too long for that specific product."
Following the announcement of the two new iMacs, the 21.5-inch model finally became available on November 30 … Read more

Some notable names in Omaha philanthropy, business and education are on the list of 11 candidates the City Council is considering for an open seat on the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority board.
The list includes Susie Buffett, philanthropist and daughter of Warren Buffett, and developer Jay Noddle, who already has the backing of several significant business leaders.
The council will likely vote in the next few weeks on a replacement for Jamie Gutierrez Mora, the former MECA board member who resigned last month amid questions about her residency and voter registration.
Council President Pete Festersen said he and other council members are looking to clarify the requirements for board members, but plan to make an appointment before any major changes are made.
This week, the council closed the application process and began what Festersen called a "deliberate and thorough process" to narrow down the list to a preferred candidate.
The council's options for the prominent board, which oversees the CenturyLink Center and TD Ameritrade Park, also include:
� Jonathan Benjamin-Alvarado, professor of political science at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
� Brenda Christensen, community volunteer.
� Frank Hayes, certified public accountant.
� Clifford Herd, former Omaha City Councilman and owner of dental supply companies.
� William "Bruce" McCoy, retired school administrator.
� Anna Scherr Nubel, assistant vice president for alumni relations at Creighton University.
� Kent Pavelka, president of a public relations firm and broadcaster.
� Paul Smith, vice chairman of energy company Tenaska and CEO of Tenaska Capital Management.
� Anthony Sorrentino, certified public accountant and attorney with SilverStone Group.
Festersen said several of the candidates submitted their own names, while some were suggested by council members or outside groups.
The Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce has written a letter of support for Noddle, the only candidate to have multiple letters submitted on his or her behalf. In addition to the chamber, Noddle has the backing of James Landen, chairman and CEO of Security National Bank; Douglas County Commissioner Mary Ann Borgeson; Kiewit chairman emeritus Ken Stinson, Bank of the West midwest division executive Robert Dalrymple; and developer and former Omaha Mayor P.J. Morgan.
To determine who is qualified to serve on the board, council members will follow the considerations of City Attorney Paul Kratz, Festersen said. Kratz investigated Gutierrez Mora's residency and eligibility and determined she was not a "resident elector" of Douglas County, as required by a development agreement between the city and MECA.
Festersen said the council will continue to use the "resident elector" qualification, at least for the time being. The candidate selected for the position will also be required to sign an oath that their service with MECA would not conflict with any personal or professional interest.
Meanwhile, the city's legal department is looking into revising the rules about residency and conflicts of interest to make them more clear, Festersen said.
"They haven't given us a time frame yet, but it may take some time," he said. "It's a fairly complicated situation we're trying to correct."

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

October 10, 2013 Playoff ProspectusNLDS Game Five Recap: Cardinals 6, Pirates 1The Cardinals will play in the NL Championship Series for the third consecutive postseason. Their advancement comes after a Game Five victory over the Pirates, in which, fittingly, Adam Wainwright, David Freese, and Matt Adams played large roles. Wainwright—in addition to being one of the last remaining links to the 2006 World Champions squad—delivered another stellar outing to go with his Game One gem. Altogether, the big righty finishes the series by pitching 16 innings, allowing one run, walking one, and fanning 15. He threw his monster curveball 48 times on Wednesday night—or about 45 percent of the time—and at least once in 25 of his 27 multi-pitch plate appearances. Wainwright threw strikes and kept the ball on the ground, and while he allowed eight singles, the Pirates only had three runners reach scoring position. While Wainwright shut down the Pirates, it was Freese who delivered the first offensive blow. The third baseman best known for his postseason heroics went just 1-for-3 on the night before being removed for a defensive sub, but delivered a two-run home run in the second inning off a poor 1-2 breaking ball from Gerrit Cole. Credit is due to Jon Jay for battling Cole to an eight-pitch walk the batter before; he fell behind 1-2, then managed to foul off two tough pitches before walking and keeping the inning alive. Finally, there was Adams. He clobbered a first-pitch cutter from Mark Melancon in the eighth to widen the Cardinals' lead to 5-1. St. Louis would add another, but it was Adams who delivered the gut punch to the Pirates' chances while simultaneously reminding everyone about St. Louis' enviable player development system. Lest we forget the Cardinals won this series without

The wives of Henry VIIIThe wives of Henry VIII have come down to us through history narrowly defined by the roles they played in the larger story of the King's life, and most commonly remembered for the manner in which each did - or did not - survive marriage to him. Now, in this richly dramatic and singularly illuminating study, Antonia Fraser uncovers the complex and fascinating individuals whose true characters have been shrouded for centuries by stereotype and legend. In a sweeping narrative and with her own enthralling amalgam of meticulous scholarship and the lively play of ideas, Fraser makes clear the remarkably high level of strength and intelligence displayed by these six women at a time when their sex traditionally possessed little of either. She brings to light, for example: the tenacious self-possession displayed by Catherine of Aragon when, toward the end of her twenty-four-year marriage, she met the King's demands for a divorce with steadfast refusal . . . Anne Boleyn's 'curiously modern' independence of mind - initially dazzling to the King (and shocking to most everyone else), but ultimately the cause of her gruesome demise . . . the circumspect wisdom that allowed Jane Seymour to emerge as an object of universal welcome and lasting admiration in a year that saw two other queens as well ... the touching dignity of Anna of Cleves - dubbed 'The Flanders Mare' by an insensitive court - during her bewilderingly short and demeaning tenure as consort . . . the naivete of Katherine Howard - not yet twenty when the King turned his eye toward her - whose indiscretions were more nearly the result of innocence than deviousness . . . the surprisingly subversive side of the otherwise submissive CatherineParr, one of only eight women whose writings were published during the sixty years of the first two Tudor reigns. The author traces the ascent and decline of each woman - and the linkages between them - delineating the cultural, familial, and political roots of the behavior and i |

Charting The Mid-East World
Stocks are under pressure as unrest continues in the Middle East and it's had an even bigger impact on oil prices.
Our chart expert, Jordan Kotick pointed out "the rise in crude in 2008 was frenzied as it outperformed risky assets." And since the bottom in 2009, crude prices have been on the rise, side by side with the equity market.
We'll have to wait and see if this trend will continue. Kotick said, "a break of the range high, we are right near it, would suggest crude out-performance and a possible frenzied, Middle East catalyzed move."
Kotick has been fairly bullish on crude prices for 2011 since Q4 of last year. However, he believes "the key is not that crude is going higher. It has been going higher for a year. The Middle East only supports a trend that is already going on. The key is whether crude will outperform the broader market."
Now let's turn a country in the Mideast that Kotick is focused on.
Q. You're currently in Israel. You claim the situation in Israel is economically different than most other countries. Why?
A. While the much of the world, the US specifically, has seen real estate prices deflate, Israeli real estate has been aggressively inflating. It is up 15 to 20 percent per year over the last few years. Further, the stock market, the Tel Aviv 25 , is at all time new highs and still climbing. Israel just raised interest rates here for among other reasons, to slow things down a little. But the situation, in terms of the ascent of their real estate market, is both aggressive and impressive.
Q. Why are you relating the Korean and even some American stock markets to Israel? What's the connection?
A. Simply because of their trajectory. Last year, the Tel Aviv 25 tested its all time high and is usually the case, a correction took hold. Technically speaking, this is what one should expect since important pivots rarely break without a fight. As you can see with the Kospi (like the Bovespa in Brazil or the Sensex in India) the market is testing its key high. So too are the Nasdaq and the Russell 2000.
Q. What are the implications?
A. The risk is a pull back, correction as the market(s) battle with these peaks. But ultimately, we expect them to break above these areas as did the Israeli stock market after its temporary pull back
Q. For an average investor, why does this matter?
A. Tech and small caps have been leading sectors since the market bottomed in March 2009. When they overcome their peaks, it was be a very positive sign.

By Liliana Moyano for Shine Latina
While in Spain, I never acquired the taste for it, and was even reluctant to ever have Gazpacho again, until I saw it in a restaurant menu as "Gazpacho de Aguacate" (Avocado Gazpacho). I ordered it and it was so good, I asked the chef for the recipe. Reluctantly, he gave me some of the basic ingredients and I wrote them down. I added a few more and recently made it for a summer gathering. It was absolutely delicious! Next time you want to serve guacamole or gazpacho, try swapping them for this Aguazpacho, and serve it in small saucers or teacups as an elegant appetizer. Enjoy!
Try my Coriander Salmon with Warm Mushrooms and a Tropical Salad
(Serves 4)
2 Hass avocados

2 tomatoes, peeled and chopped

In a large bowl or molcajete, place the scooped avocados, lime juice, salt and garlic. Smash with a potato masher or a fork until the avocado becomes creamy and all the ingredients are mixed together. Add the water, tomatoes, onion and cilantro, and mix well.

vacation rental description
Come and relax on one of New Hampshire's most beautiful, secluded and pristine lakes. This spacious vacation home is located at the eastern end of Lake Nubanusit with a sweeping view down the length of the lake. The majority of the shoreline is an undeveloped nature preserve, and the 660 acres of the lake are perfect for small boating, swimming, and fishing.
This home is the perfect place for families with pets and kids who want to get away from it all. A private dock and swimming area alongside a fully equipped boat house allow easy access to the water. Blueberry bushes line the lake, and if you boat across and explore the shoreline across the lake, you'll find a rope swing and an eagle's nest... and if you're lucky you'll even see loons and otters!

No confined space is done. Haz-whopper certification preferred. 1st shift, 10 hour days working Wed, Thurs, Fri, and every other weekend. Plenty of overtime available.

Yep. I work in at both. The opening is for Plant 4 Thermotech and Ingot. The position mainly works Plant 4, checks on Plant 5. Because it's so slow over there, when that person isn't busy, they help out at 3 during the day.
