Im a pretty young guy 23 years old I have a little under $50,000 I've managed to put aside for the stock market from working the last few years and a couple graduation gifts......my question is do you feel that now is the time to split up and buy $5K worth of
I like that GE and PFE have been battered but do you think they are good long term buys ala 30+ years? Alot of the forums i read say these stocks are going nowhere but down the next few years and even warren buffett said his investors shouldnt expect unreal returns from BRK the next few years....whats your take i really like your insight and div analysis I also posted this on the div guy blog. The only reason I ask is bc the economy seems to be slipping big time and Id hate to put my money in if in a few months I can buy the same shres for ALOT less - June 14, 2008 at 2:57 PM

The stocks that you mentioned below are great companies to own. However, noone knows which companies will be the next big winners in the next 30 years. You might want to diversify into more than 7 stocks, but maybe 30-40 or more. A good starting point could be the S&P Dividend Aristocrats and the High-Yield dividend aristocrats, as well as Mergent's Dividend Achievers Indexes.
If you are not really familiar/comfortable with investing individual stocks ( don't have the time to study all your stocks), you might want to consider buying one of the many dividend etf's covering the above mentioned dividend indexes.
And last but not least, if you are looking to holding your investments for the next 20-30 years, I would advise you to ignore the media and short-term news. They are a great contrarian indicator. When they are crying you should be buying, when they are yelling you should be selling.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Best Regards,

thanks i appreciate it so much. I've been investing from the time I was 16. My first shares of anything were Vfinx an index fund, my parents bought it for me as a bday present but its avg just around 3% return since then. Tell me what you think of the holdings in Dgagx, a very good friend of mines father is the fund manager. I've been thinking about buy ing in to it, but I can mimic that same portfolio without having to pay a 1% annual management fee. Of the stocks I mentioned which do you see as having the most potential moving forward?
- June 14, 2008 at 5:54 PM
- Dividend Growth Investor said...
I don't think that you can mimic the performance of the fund,because you only get quarterly snapshots of its holdings. I also do not like the 1% annual fee that you would be buying as a fund shareholder. VFINx is a great fund in my opinion. If you diversify a little bit more into real-estate, small and mid cap value, international small, midcap, large cap value/growth plus some bonds you might be ok.
And last but not least, try to invest in tax advantaged portfolios.
Of the 7 stocks that you mentioned, i think that all have equal chances of being the next best thing in my opinion. I don't know about PFE, since many of their drugs will be losing their patents after 2010/11. It could be a value trap unless they acquire some company with fresh drug ideas. - June 15, 2008 at 11:17 AM

A staff member was mopping the deck and knocked over my sister's sodas and he told her that he would not replace them. This is after she paid $3.00 a can for them. She went to his boss and he wouldn't even listen or look at her when she was talking to him about this problem. He REFUSED to replace her drinks and said to her "well you were probably about done with them anyway".
The food was less than enjoyable. We had practically the same foods each meal - there were cold hamburgers and hot dogs and fries every lunch and dinner. The bagels in the morning were like hockeybucks!! There were very few bars open at one time. Limited times to eat.
They also automatically bill you for the tips for each day you are on the ship!! We refused to pay them and had them changed at the reception desk. We believe in tipping people who actually provide a service and contribute to our vacation. And almost everything we had bought while on the ship had a 15% gratutity added in. It was amazing.
Communication was lacking. We are use to Royal Caribbean providing us with information on each port we docked at. Royal has also had meeting for guest to come and listen to some of their staff regarding what to look for and what to stay away from while in port. They would also talk over the loud speaker and tell us information. OH that did not happen on this cruise!!!!!
The staff barely even smiled and there were so few decorations on the ship for Christmas we almost forgot that it was Christmas!!! The decorations were hung up with masking tape of all things !!!!!! so sad for a big cruise line.
There were long lines at the reception and accounting desks to complain it was unreal!!!! We even witnessed a awkward moment between angry staff there -
Good points - loved the Italian lesson with Lavern Le Paul.
Don't waste your time on this cruise. We won't sail with them again.

Hey all!
I am very sad to say that this will be my final post on onanimation.com. It really has been an experience, being a part of the blog with all the amazing contributors, I will really miss it.
As you may recall, my first post was the disney drawing portfolio notes. I asked Dan, editor of the blog, if he wished to upload the notes, by which he counter-offered a place in the team of contributors. So what better way to start with a bang, than to go out with a bang..!!
Daniel Jeannette talks in great detail about gesture, graphics and the importance of line, whilst exampling the great works of Milt Kahl and other such nine old men of the golden eras. These videos are a must watch for any artist or animator (not just for the pencil holders)! There are 5 parts to this video. I will try to upload them as quickly as I can, so keep an eye out on this space!
A final message to all my fellow artists out there: good luck, stay inspired and erg… keep….on…. animation…ah pff…^^'

Testify, GRRM!
Testify, GRRM!
How charitable of him!
He does write some very strong-willed, independent women, Todash. Even as the men around them are trying to manipulate and control them.
I love the series, myself.
love the pic its great. i love the programe but soo would love to read the books xxx
Great books, but I find them to be slow going. I've been reading the 4th book for about a month, and am maybe 2/3 done. For the sake of comparison, 11/22/63 took me all of 4 days. They are worth the time, though!
I am waiting for Book 6 to be published. Absolutely love this series, and I'm not a big fan of this type of novel as a rule. I know who I'm hoping will be the eventual Ruler (kinda). I've got two scenarios playing out in my head and either one would be a fantastic ending for me.
I used to be on the "yay GRRM is giving us some really awesome female characters" bandwagon for the first three books, but noticed a steady decline in book four followed by a sharp drop-off in book five. Hoping for a rebound, but we'll see.

China, South Africa and the Lewis Model
The paper uses the Lewis model as a framework for examining the labour market progress of two labour-abundant countries, China and South Africa, towards labour shortage and generally rising labour real incomes. In the acuteness of their rural-urban divides, forms of migrant labour, rapid rural-urban migration, and high and rising real wages in the formal sector, the two economies are surprisingly similar. They differ, however, in the dynamism of their formal sector growth of output and employment, and in the growth of their labour forces. Whereas China - a labour-surplus economy par excellence despite unemployment until recently taking only a disguised form - is moving rapidly in the direction of labour scarcity, South Africa - which historically has been short of labour - is moving towards increased labour surplus in the form of open unemployment. The paper draws on research previously conducted by the author in separate research projects on the two countries.Download Info

Can anyone tell me anything about Rendezvous in St. Lucia? It looks nice and it is in our budget ( which is really tight). Or does anyone have any other suggestions for something under $2500 in late may/june? I want to go somewhere warm and relaxing.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouts by Juliette Low in Savannah, Ga. In honor of the centennial, The Herald-Mail asked several local restaurants to develop recipes for adults using Girl Scout cookies, one of the most visible aspects of Girl Scouts. One of these recipes uses alcohol, which we recommend should not be shared with a Girl Scout.
Here we present four recipes from four chefs in the Hagerstown area. We asked for creativity, and these recipes explore unusual uses of cookies. Enjoy!
Chocolate-mint cheesecake
1 box Girl Scout Thin Mints cookies
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 1/2 pounds cream cheese
1 1/4 cups sugar
5 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons creme de menthe
1 1/5 cup sour cream
Sugar to taste
Whipped cream or strawberry sauce, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
By hand, break 1 sleeve of Thin Mints into small pieces. With the other sleeve of Thin Mints, cut in half and set aside.
Mix the cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press crumb mixture into bottom of springform pan.
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in lemon juice, vanilla extract and creme de menthe. Mix in remaining crushed Thin Mint cookies. Pour filling into prepared crust.

Justification: Total population numbers were estimated at c. 75,000 in 1999, with 25% in protected areas. This total included 50,000 in southern Sudan, which it was acknowledged may be a large underestimate. Indeed, aerial surveys carried out in southern Sudan in the dry season by WCS in 2007 indicate a population of 160,000 and a generally favourable conservation situation. The subspecies is provisionally listed as Least Concern, although with the caveat that anticipated results of a forthcoming wet season survey of southern Sudan may yield information of relevance for the listing of this subspecies. |

The question is:
Is it moral to give (let's be honest in this context -- to forcibly surrender) one's belongings unconditionally?
Our "poor" live better than Royalty did just several centuries ago.
Running, clean water, heat and air, access to health care, a roof over their heads, subsidized food, cable to watch America's Got Talent, big-arse flat screens.
Is what I've evidenced even debatable? At what point will altruistic Socialist sociopaths, ever so happy to fleece the self-sufficient to fund their boondoggles and visions of Nirvana, ever be satisfied?
Apparently Uncle Sugar doesn't put out enough to satisfy even the most ardent Socialist sociopaths.
Golden Arches
Wally, Hambone, EaTN:
Come work for me and I'll teach you a skill (sales) where you can make six figures a year if you work hard and follow my mentorship.
The door is open to anyone, including McDonald's workers. I will work with anyone willing to better themselves and wants to achieve something greater than mediocrity.
BUT... Odds are you'd rather b*tch and moan about wanting more for less, or more for the same, than praising those who want to get out and better themselves.
EaTN -- there are enough welfare programs to help those in need. Ever been in a project or a poor person's home? Have you seen what capitalism and charity has done for America's "poor?" Big screens, cable, heat and air, clean, running water, and more food than the eye can see.
America's poor are kings compared to the starving masses in Africa.
Lkeithlu -- The Law of Supply and Demand. Look at the Oil Boom in North Dakota. Wal-Mart and Subway workers are getting paid $15/hr plus.
Why? Because they have to stay competitive with the salaries the oil industry is paying out to its workers.
Point is the wage offered reflects what the market will take -- meaning what "underpaid" workers will accept, given the supply of jobs and their respective wages available in the job market.
Golden Arches
I would love to debate an altruistic libtard like Bennett and destroy him with logic. Not that he, or any other brainwashed do-gooder, would yield and change his mind.
That's why it's pointless to debate them, much less comment on message boards like this.
Altruistic do-gooder liberals think good intentions have no consequences -- see Obamacare, Cash-For-Clunkers, for more recent examples of good intentions never panning out.
What drives me mad is there is no defining government bamboozle, junket, or sh*t-for-brains program that wakes up the liberal neanderthal, and converts them to believing the tenants of an advanced civilization. No -- more Government is the problem to Government.
Per "minimum wage," I could discuss the Law of Supply and Demand. I could discuss the economic value of a burger flipper in relation to the fast food business, and how such economic value restricts the maximal payout he will receive.
Even further, I can show you time and again that to get ahead in life with something better than mediocrity, it's up to the individual, not the State, to determine his lot in life, to aspire something greater than an ancillary position in a company, especially if he wants to EARN (4-letter word for libtards) more than the minimum.
But, I shan't. None would make any sense to the liberal do-gooder that believes taking by force from the Accomplished is moral.
What frustrates me is that anyone with half a brain could have seen this train-wreck coming for 40, 50 years, and neither the "Greatest Generation," nor the Baby Boomers, have done jack about it.
You guys have enshrined un-reality into all levels of life, and then have the gall to claim those who want substantive roll-backs of the unsustainable to be extremists?
Not that it matters to blood-sucking socialists, but all one needs to look back to is the 1913 Income Tax passed to see the horrible mutation a simple, small tax on the uber-rich can take over time.
That's why it's paramount to fall on the sword to prevent in any way the passage and enshrinement of a law such as the ACA.
The Train Wreck
Anybody with enough IQ to power a moped around a penny should well enough see this thing called Obamacare was rigged to fail into a Single-Payer Solution from the beginning.
The whole structure of health care is flawed anyway, from a market-standpoint. Even before Oblameocare, the amount of government intervention has prevented any substantial free-market solution from coming about.
The Clinic
Al -- please look deeper than the surface issues:
Your point is invalid.
The fact that tax dollars are pooled, appropriated, and diluted to the point of claiming I'm "arrogant" is not an argument.
It's a distraction from the principle of point.
Just because it's so diluted it's meager, is NOT a reason not to have a substantive debate about the ETHICS, morality, or its impact on natural rights.
Machiavellian-ism on display.
You are drawing your own conclusions without reading more carefully into the purpose of my statement.
To clarify, I was referencing pro-baby-in-the-womb murder in regards to being ethical, or more specifically, how a human being a few seconds old, merely inches away from the vagina, has more rights than he did seconds ago, just because he was encapsulated by flesh and organs.
Also, as you are so typical of doing, you do not delineate between volitional charitable giving and forced funding.
The public at large is quite capable of providing charitable funding for things such as helping single mothers with children who cannot support themselves, assuming family and friends are incapable.
Why do people think Government has to be the end all Provider?
The Clinic
Limric -
I am interested in a substantive debate.
I do not care if I win or lose.
Will you join?
Please explain how, in reference to my claim that a human-being-to-be, nearly inches away from breathing his own air, is prescribed a different set of rights than the born human being just inches away from the vagina, umbilical cord still attached.
And then go on to explain, now that you have clearly established your position, why "Murder is murder unless it's not," for this scenario.
And to answer your statement that there are "No Exceptions," I agree. However, this is existential to the debate, ie, it does not apply. In fact, assume I agree with you on that statement that there are no exceptions (which I do), and proceed to make your point about the debate at hand.
Lastly, to clarify, I can set aside instances where RIGHTS of an individual are violated. IE, the baby is threatening the life of the mother. I believe that is a valid argument about who has the first right to life.
But to murder for the sake of convenience is a totally different debate of which actually matters. We can talk about and debate both separately and arrive at worthwhile conclusions, versus enshrining into law the act of murder regardless of the circumstances.
IE - if I argue data collection for marketing purposes to solicit your business is ethically different than data collection about you for the government to dispense as they see fit, would you suggest we not have the debate between the differences altogether if there's a questionable moral difference between the use of both?
The Clinic
Baseless conjecture akin to a Community Agitator, sidestepping the debate regarding the difference between natural rights and politically-enforced privileges, and how morality intersects into both.
Then again, we are on the 'Toon Forum where 95% of posters' purpose is to get off on conjecture and hate-filled gibberish, versus actually engaging in an intellectual dialogue.
Question, Limrc -- Setting aside the debatable question of terminating a pregnancy due to high risk of death to the mother, is a human being under an inch or two of skin and membrane ethically inferior to a human being an inch or two outside of the vagina?
Yes or no?
The Clinic
Moon4kat -- let's think a little deeper here.
Tell me what the difference is between the following scenarios:
-Voluntarily supporting a human being with my money, and -Being forced at the barrel of a gun to support a human being with my money.
Is there an ethical difference, yes or no?
If yes, then you understand the difference between charity and government handouts, and hopefully partially why someone would object to pro-baby-in-the-womb murder and still not support political gift-giving (using my tax dollars) to irresponsible people.
If no, you are lost.
The Clinic
I can only speak for myself.
I am all about protecting the natural rights of all human beings.
I am NOT about protecting the arbitrary, political privileges of a specific class, ethnicity, or group of people.
My argument against abortion is simple.
Is a fetus a human being? Or a human-that-will-eventually-be?
Since it shares all the functions as a out-of-the-womb human being, certainly it must have rights, correct?
If a human being, or human-to-be, has natural rights like you and me, why is a baby in the womb subject to murder at a whim -- with the exception of a risk of death to the mother -- when we are protected by laws and police from out-of-the-womb murder?
There is an ethical inconsistency in the pro-baby under a few flaps of skin murder argument, and unfortunately, folks like Al refuse to acknowledge and understand the differences between natural rights and arbitrary political privileges bestowed upon a select group of the State.
A is A. Murder is murder.
And I am an atheist.

For the first time, all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO�s Game of Thrones are together in one boxed set. An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin�dubbed �the American Tolkien� by Time magazine�international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now here is the entire monumental cycle:
�One of the best series in the history of fantasy.��Los Angeles Times
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King�s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert�s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse�unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.
Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen�s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister�the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.
Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the thron...
George R. R. Martin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including the acclaimed series A Song of Ice and Fire�A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons. As a writer-producer, he has worked on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and pilots that were never made. He lives with the lovely Parris in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Book Description:The Ninth Edition of Organic Chemistry continues Solomons-Fryhle's tradition of excellence in teaching and preparing students for success in the organic classroom and beyond.Students are often overwhelmed by the early rigors of organic chemistry. Solomons-Fryhle prepares students for these early rigors by introducing acids & bases--topics they know from general chemistry--early, followed by chapters on structure and stereochemistry. Next, a discussion of ionic reactions gives students a foundation for the vast majority of reactions that they will encounter. The Ninth Edition continues to introduce IR spectroscopy in chapter 2 (after functional groups) and Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy in chapter 4, providing synergy with most lab courses and, again, reinforcing learning.The new edition of Solomons-Fryhle also has a completely revised WileyPLUS course to help students and instructors reach their full potential. WileyPLUS provides instructors with the most robust online homework solution in organic chemistry. This revision of WileyPLUS meets students where and when they learn and provides them with a learning platform that offers real learning solutions that complement their approach to managing and mastering organic concepts.

Vote raises guard's hope for pardon
"I'm staying positive about it," said Thomas Schoolcraft, 27, of Keene on Thursday. "I think it's a good thing that they voted unanimously to grant the hearing, but I did notice they made those comments about pardons being only for people where there was a miscarriage of justice."
"I do want to note that personally I think the requirement for me to support a pardon would be that there was a miscarriage of justice, not simply that the offender has turned his life around or rehabilitated his life, so I want to be cautious about setting expectations for Mr. Schoolcraft that a pardon hearing is not, in fact, a pardon."
Any linkage of a New Hampshire pardon to the outcomes in Massachusetts does not bode well for Schoolcraft, who said Massachusetts appears to have denied his request, at least for now.
Schoolcraft says such a change would be shortsighted, even though his position in Cheshire County would be grandfathered.

Bugtime Adventures
Bugtime: "Blessing in Disguise"
For the last couple years, I've been on the Board of a small Catholic non-profit that has been working on producing an animated Bible series for kids. The series, which alternates between a village of little bugs and the lives of Bible characters, is way cute and it is just hitting the street now.
We call it Bugtime Adventures. We have about seven episodes in the can (animated in Korea with scripts and talent done here), comic books and a cool web-site.
Go here to read a story from the Milwaukee Journal on the series.
If you have little kids on your Christmas list, Bugtime Adventures is a beautifully produced, positive alternative to one more Mario chip for the Game Boy.

The 404 771: Where the #dickbar is our totem (podcast)
We've been curious about how Twitter plans to make money off its services, and this weekend our questions were answered with one word: the dickbar. In-stream advertising has finally landed on the official Twitter iPhone app, and users will now see a top-mounted bar that shows "promoted" hashtags sponsored by advertisers who pay for the distraction.
The problem with these ads isn't that they're obtrusive or that Twitter CEO Dick Costolo initially told us they would be "organic to the platform," but that they're not specifically targeted at users, which makes sense because people use Twitter for a million different applications.
During this conversation, Wilson also reveals that he actually clicks on Google ads when he's shopping for things like headphones or, say, a house. I guess Jeff and I are so astonished at this because we're always looking for the quickest, easiest way to get rid of the annoying pop-ups.
The Gallup Healthways Well-Being Index shows, via statistical analysis of interviews with adults, that the happiest man in America is Alvin Wong: a tall, Asian-American, observant Jewish man who's at least 65 years old, married with children, lives in Hawaii, runs his own business, and has a combined annual household income of at least $120k.
We certainly have a long way to go before we achieve pure bliss!

Consumers Push Plastics Industry to Find Bio-Based Solutions
NatureWorks, which only makes bio-based, biodegradable resins, says its strategy has always been to create a product that could be dropped into traditional processing. While that's not possible yet, some of NatureWorks' processors are beginning to sell enough PLA to reach the economies of scale necessary to make Ingeo more cost competitive, Davies said.
End of life
One of the biggest issues in the bioplastics industry is what happens to the products after they're not needed. Biodegradable plastics can, of course, biodegrade, but usually only if composted properly. And as of right now, the U.S. doesn't have an infrastructure to handle widespread municipal-level composting.
Another solution is to recycle the materials. Products made of Ingeo, for instance, can be returned to lactic acid, the ingredient created when plant sugars are fermented, and then made into a virgin polymer again. Currently, NatureWorks does this with waste at its plant.
Another solution is one both Coca-Cola and Pepsi are after: Creating a 100-percent, bio-based PET plastic bottle that can be recycled along with anything else made of plastic PET (the No. 1 plastic for those who recycle.)
"A lot of people look at environmental sustainability as disruptive technologies, a niche that can't compete economically," says Vitters. "We've come up with a solution that keeps the infrastructure in place."
Coke has already created Plant Bottle, 30 percent of which is made from plants, and now has the technology to get the bottle to 100 percent — as does Pepsi — but the process of bringing the bottle to market remains complex.
"The challenge is getting scaled up, creating supply chains, getting the yield and efficiency so the economics get to where we think we can go forward," says Rocco Papalia, senior vice president of advanced research at PepsiCo.
Coke hopes to break through these hurdles to have half of all its bottles and cans made from bio-plastics by 2015, and 100 percent by 2020, says Vitters of Coke.
"Innovation isn't worth much until you can commercialize it and make it available to consumers," he said.

By THOR CHRISTENSEN / Special Contributor
Photo by BEN TORRES / Special ContributorChris Botti's jazz trumpet chops aren't the only reason he can fill big halls like the Meyerson Symphony Center, where he began a three-day stand on Friday night.
For starters, he's got sex appeal and pop instincts. To put on the crass hat for a moment, Botti is the new Chuck Mangione but with much nicer hair.
But the bigger reason for Botti's success is he dares to do what so many jazz players don't: He entertains -- and with gusto.
Fronting his own band, Botti came off as stand-up comedian who also happens to play jazz. He peppered the show with self-deprecating quips, declared himself "the palest guy to ever play a trumpet" and mocked his own ego and quirks: He ordered two fans to move to empty chairs near center stage, confessing "I have O.C.D. with the audience."
He was also incredibly gracious, thanking Sting and Paul Simon for hiring him early in his career, dubbing the Meyerson "the Carnegie Hall of the South" and lavishing praise on the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, a frequent partner over the years (though not for this engagement). He also raved on about his own band members, who proved they deserved it.
Pianist Geoffrey Keezer jolted several tunes with virtuosic swing. Bassist Richie Goods helped reinvent Miles Davis' "Flamenco Sketches" with a rambunctious solo. And drummer Billy Kilson gave the show a rock 'n' roll edge.
Botti led fans on an engaging trip from Chopin's "Prelude No. 20 in C Minor" to ballads like Sting's "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" to a jazz-rock overhaul of Burt Bacharach's "The Look of Love." Just when his trumpet work got too melodramatic, he reversed course into free-form jazz or a brazen scat-and-response duet with guest singer Judith Hill.
For an encore, he trotted out "Nessun Dorma," the Puccini tearjerker that fellow PBS star Andrea Bocelli also performs as an encore. But instead of making it his operatic swan song, Botti pulled a young woman from the crowd and had her bash away on drums for a thoroughly comic climax, complete with her extremely tall dad onstage filming the whole thing. Botti might be mainstream and proud of it, but he knows exactly when to hit a twisted note.

Written by Ashley Polasek
Contributing Writer, GreenvilleOnline.comWhen Chris Botti and guest vocalist Renee Olstead found themselves working through kinks in "The Very Thought of You," a song they were performing together for the first time at their Peace Center concert Friday night, he quipped "this is really jazz."
And was it ever.
In a concert that ranged from Chopin to Michael Jackson, trumpeter Botti's melodic jazz style and his keen improvisational skills were at their best from his first note.
Looking ever-dapper in a three-piece suit, Botti stepped on stage and launched into a jazzy tune, filling the hall with a wonderful robust tone. He showcased his seemingly endless stamina as he soared, rocked and wailed his way through a two-hour set of expertly-arranged tunes.
Musical variety is the hallmark of Botti's concerts and he didn't disappoint, creating a set that seamlessly ran the gamut between jazz, pop, rock and classical.
The ethereal "Love Theme" from the Italian film "Cinema Paradiso," a jazz-infused version of Chopin's "Prelude in C Minor" and a touching rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" were all the more pleasing for being unexpected.
Botti took the stage with an intimate band of five that would have been as at-home in a nightclub as they were in the Peace Center's Concert Hall. Each of the musicians took solos that highlighted an incredible range of talent.
Pianist Billy Childs and bassist Richie Goods contributed particularly dazzling fleet-fingered solos, during a tribute to Miles Davis' "Flamenco Sketches."
Versatile guitarist Leonardo Amuedo thrilled the crowd with solos that ranged from a soulful caress to a hard-charging version of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man."
In addition to Olstead, the concert also featured guest violinist Caroline Campbell.
Campbell accompanied the band on several numbers, rendering a particularly powerful and heartbreaking duet, "Emmanuel," with Botti. She also took the stage and let loose on a virtuosic, screaming solo number that earned roars of delight, and a well-deserved standing ovation from the audience.
Olstead, who was joining this tour for the first time, sang with a sensuous sophistication well beyond her 23 years. She provided touching and intimate vocals, but really wowed the crowd when she and Botti expertly scatted together on "The Look of Love." Olstead even taking control of the valves of Botti's trumpet while he played pealing runs and she harmonized.
The concert ended on a heartwarming note as Botti invited a 10-year-old girl from the audience on stage to provide the swelling cymbal roll in the band's encore number, "Nessun Dorma," the beloved aria from Puccini's opera "Turnadot."
It was a touching end to an evening of superb and joyous music.

Occupy Baltimore evicted from McKeldin Square
BALTIMORE (AP) — Authorities in full riot gear are removing Occupy Baltimore protesters from a downtown plaza where they have been camped out for months.
Baltimore City police moved into McKeldin Square about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday. The raid appeared to be peaceful.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake issued a statement about an hour later saying the city is "committed to protecting individuals' right to protest." However, she added that the city's public parks and green areas should not be treated as a permanent campground.
City officials recently denied Occupy Baltimore's request for a permit to continue their protest in the plaza.
The action comes about a week after a person was arrested in connection with a stabbing at the protest site, WMAR reports.

Right on the water on a quiet, deep stretch of beach. All new decor, kitchen, appliances, furniture, bedding and a view that will take your breath away. High speed internet. Sliding doors open the entire front of the main floor to a screened porch, Gulf breezes, white sand and blue, blue water. You can walk to town for morning coffee at the bakery, a visit to the amazingly beautiful island library, charming shopping, homemade ice cream and fabulous dining for lunch or dinner. Finish the day with stellar sunsets (watch for that green flash!) and stargazing extraordinaire.
We live in NE Ohio but have been visiting the beautiful island of Boca Grande since 1986. Many vacations with our two children, and a few parents-only trips, kept us coming back to the island again and again. Lighthouse is everything we dreamed about in a beach home: right on a gorgeous, quiet beach; walking distance to town; enough bedrooms for friends and family; cozy and comfortable. We love it and know you will, too.
Walk barefoot from front door to the beach, thanks to decking added on ground level.

AMD's gift to software developers
On Monday, AMD released a proposal for "Lightweight Profiling" instructions (or LWP; download here), describing a new way for software developers to gather information on software while it runs.
I've only had a few minutes to check out the document, but it looks pretty interesting. Existing performance analysis tools, like Intel's VTune and AMD's CodeAnalyst, generally create significant overhead when gathering performance information. They usually need code that runs in supervisor mode, for example, and they're just for developer use--they aren't meant to be used in production systems.
LWP lets applications gather their … Read more

Birds of a Pricey Feather: The Most Expensive Flip-Offs of the Last 20 Years
By Ivan Blanco ,
"It's the same old story, same old song and dance." - Aerosmith
Stop me if you've heard this one before: A loudmouthed athlete forgets decorum and unleashes a Bird Bomb on an unsuspecting victim.
Now while this topic has been covered in greater detail here, this list will mainly focus on the fines themselves.
Before we begin, I just wanted to highlight that not every bird deserves a fine.
Here are two cases that escaped the NFL's Obscenity Fine dragnet, but for very different reasons.
Take a look at the SI cover to your left, where Larry Csonka not only rocks a killer 'stache, but an eye for subtle obscenities.
I've seen this cover a million times before, and it wasn't until I started doing research for this piece that I finally understood just what in the hell Csonka and Jim Kiick were laughing at.
"No Name? I Got yer No Name Right Here!"
Other birds are as overt as can be, but are simply negated by the amount of badassery that the perpetrator wields.
Now observe the photo of Mike Ditka. Do you see that little squib in the empty space? That's an autograph, which can only mean two things:
A.) There's an entire factory in Bangladesh dedicated to printing out 8x10 glossy's of this incident for Ditka to sign, and
B.) There is now a market for these sorts of images.
When you can pay off your fine with the profits from your offense, you've just crossed over into the Land of Awesome.
The When and Where: Sept, 17, 2000, at Cleveland Browns Stadium
The Why: Peeved at being manhandled by Jerry Porter, Browns' Punter Chris Gardocki decides to show his gratitude to Bill Cowher.
The Fallout: Gardocki would wind up a Steeler just four years later, where he won a Super Bowl title in 2006.
The Fine: $5,000, or $2500 for each bird -- the lowest on this list, proving again that no one cares about punters, even when they're going postal.
The When and Where: Dec. 12, 2004 at INVESCO Field
The Why: After being picked off in a game between the Broncos and Miami Dolphins, Jake Plummer offered a jeering fan a reminder that it was only the first quarter.
Plummer would lead the Broncos to a 20-17 win.
The Fallout: At the time, Plummer was swapping hair care tips with Larry Csonka from a few slides ago. Csonka chided "The Snake" for getting caught in the act, and the Porn 'Stache hasn't been popular since.
The Fine: $5,000
The When and Where: Oct.. 31, 2007, at Candlestick Park
The Why: Hecklers bring out the best in our jocks. Their drunken banter is what fuels almost all of the entrants on this list to purposely burn the money in their wallet.
Of course, this case is no different.
The Fallout: Prior to joining the 49ers, Nedney had kicked for seven different teams. He is now in his sixth year in the Bay Area, which should constitute as Cruel and Unusual Punishment by now.
The Fine: $7,500, which ought to REALLY irk Chris Gardocki.
The When and Where: Nov. 27, 2006, at the Georgia Dome
The Why: Hecklers. Vick. No need for a dog joke. Or a Ron Mexico one, either. Sometimes, a bird is simply a bird for a bird's sake.
The Fallout: A Comedy of Errors performed by a Confederacy of Dunce. That's "Dunce" in singular form.
The Fine: $10,000
The When and Where: Sept. 26, 1993, at Ralph Wilson Stadium
The Why: Bryan Cox will never be "Employee of the Month." That said, the double-bird in this case might be a victim to cultural insensitivity on the part of the NFL.
During the Dolphins/Bills rivalry, it wasn't just the custom greeting between the two, it was painted on the "Welcome to" signs outside each cities' limits.
The Fallout: The Dolphins would sputter through 1993, finishing 9-7 while the Bills made their fourth consecutive Super Bowl. Bryan Cox later apologized for the Bird being seen "beyond his intended audience." I.E., he was sorry the TV cameras caught it.
The children and mothers in the stadium were fair game, though.
The Fine: $10,000
The When and Where: Oct. 17, 1999, at the Super Dome
The Why: After a close loss to the Tennessee Titans, Ditka lost what little composure he hadn't traded for Ricky Williams when he flipped off a fan on his way to the locker room.
The Fallout: We know WHY Ditka did it, but it was still heartbreaking to see this Larger-than-Life persona fall to such lows. Click back to the second slide on this list. Look at how Ditka drops the bird in plain view with little regard for anyone.
That's the Sean Connery of Obscenity, man.
This? This was more like the Gary Busey of Middle Fingers: Rambling, aimless, and irrelevant. Ditka would be gone from the Saints by year's end.
The Fine: $20,000
The When and Where: Jan. 30, 2010 in Miami, Fla.
The Why: Still wrestling with the fact that his Jets aren't the best team in the known multiverse, Ryan unleashed on the Miami crowd first by verbally taunting them, then by nearly causing a riot.
The Fallout: Ryan was quick to apologize for his actions, but it's the words of Dean Wormer from Animal House that puts a slab of raw steak on this shiner of a tale:
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
The Fine: $50,000
The When and Where: Nov. 15, 2009 at Ralph Wilson Stadium
The Why: Bud Adams proves that you're never too old to be an obnoxious prick by setting the Buffalo faithful's morale on fire and pissing on the ashes. When T.O.'s in the building, and you're still the most obscene guy around, you've got a sac as big Vince Young's head.
The Fallout: Tennessee won its third straight game, propelling them from an 0-6 start to within a hair of the playoffs. Buffalo released head coach Dick Jauron two days later...presumably because he failed to motivate T.O. into upstaging Adams by crapping in the Gatorade jug.
The Fine: A hefty $250,000
