An exception to the rule, this traditional peña features performances almost nightly starting around 9pm. The music varies, although música folklórica predominates. It also serves decent arequipeño food starting at 8pm.
An exception to the rule, this traditional peña features performances almost nightly starting around 9pm. The music varies, although música folklórica predominates. It also serves decent arequipeño food starting at 8pm.
With a rooftop terrace overlooking the church of San Francisco, this eternally popular haunt has a long list of crazy cocktails and a lethal happy hour every evening. After dark, decent DJs keep the scene alive on weekdays and weekends alike.
It's a gutsy Latin dance club with a thing for bamboo and waterfalls, and is currently the place to be seen on weekend nights. In the same building, Zero Bar & Pool is a busy nightspot with pool tables and spacious booths.
In the same alley as Forum Rock Cafe, this rock 'n' roll bar is a good spot to get the night going. The drink menu offers old favorites to sip on, and the building pulsates with live '80s and '90s music Thursdays through Saturdays.
Another good spot for local food and melodic folklórica music. Live bands are featured daily during the high season (June to August) when the place fills up for lunch, but it's potluck as to whether you get live music on other days.
A five-in-one excuse for a good night out in a sillar building incorporating a pub (Retro), pool club (Zero), sofa bar (Chill Out), nightclub (Forum) and restaurant (Terrasse).
This smoky, intimate little bar with live bands playing on a stage at the back would be equally at home as a bohemian student hangout on Paris' Left Bank.
They're dancing by 8pm on a Saturday night in this youthful upstairs pub/club a block from the main square with enough sectioned-off parts to find your own favored nook. Beware of the tuneless karaoke.
Owned by the same folks as El Turko, this Middle Eastern–themed bar with stained-glass windows and overstuffed couches offers exotic liquor concoctions, beers and jet-fuel coffee.
Nordic-style pub with Union Jack flags, happy hour cocktails and plenty of local and expat chin-waggers.
Latin music blares through the barred windows of this hole-in-the-wall from opening until closing. It's a decent place to sip a happy-hour pisco sour (grape brandy cocktail) and pester passers-by.
Where would any city be without its themed Irish pub? Tucked behind the cathedral, this gringo haven has – guess what? – Guinness, pub grub and soccer on satellite TV.
If you're missing chocolate chip muffins, bucket-sized lattes and sofas full of noncommunicative wi-fi nerds, this Starbucks-wannabe is undoubtedly your bag.
On the Plaza de Armas, raucous Dady'o Disco Pub & Karaoke throws open its doors for go-go dancing, live bands and digital karaoke, plus wickedly cheap beers.
Beyond the tourist haunts, the hottest local action is to be had at nightclubs strung along Av Dolores .
Showing blockbuster movies in a shopping mall just a short taxi ride from the center.

Oilers' Taylor Hall breaks Wayne Gretzky's 32-year-old team mark
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall scored two goals just eight seconds apart to break the team mark set by Wayne Gretzky.
The 21-year-old Hall connected at 15:52 of the first period with a wrist shot from the left circle and then knocked a rebound past New York Islanders goalie Evgeni Nabokov at 16:00 on Thursday night.
Gretzky, the NHL career leader in goals and points, scored two goals in nine seconds against St. Louis on Feb. 18, 1981, in the third period of Edmonton's 9-2 victory.
Hall, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft, turned Edmonton's deficit into a 2-1 lead. He entered play Thursday with only one goal in seven games this season.
Here's @hallsy04's puck from last night used to break Wayne Gretzky's #Oilers record for fastest two goals. http://t.co/Iu5zEpP2iK—

Hey, Gretz. There goes a record. Taylor Hall two in eight seconds. Wayne Gretzky two in nine. Not every day you break a No. 99 record.—

JOHANNESBURG — In the early 1990s when South Africa's Themba Lethu clinic could only treat HIV/AIDS patients for opportunistic diseases, many would come in wheelchairs and keep coming to the health center until they died.
Two decades later the clinic is the biggest antiretroviral, or ARV, treatment center in the country and sees between 600 to 800 patients a day from across southern Africa. Those who are brought in wheelchairs, sometimes on the brink of death, get the crucial drugs, and often become healthy, and are walking within weeks.

Help: Win7 User Installing Snow Leopard on MacBook
Hey everyone,
My wife has a 2006 Macbook, and I've recently upgraded the RAM (2GB) and purchased a new battery for it. The computer runs OS X Tiger right now, and I've got a physical copy of Snow Leopard on the way.
I'm primarily a Windows user so I'm unfamiliar with the upgrade/install process for OS X. Can you guys and gals give me an idea of what to expect and do when the disc arrives? Will this be a clean install of Snow Leopard since I don't have Leopard to upgrade from? Those are the types of questions I have. Any help from experienced users would be much appreciated.

The three men accused of robbing several Columbus businesses at gunpoint faced a judge in court today, Nov. 21.
Columbus investigators testified that Dominique Leonard, 17, made a huge mistake when he allegedly snatched a woman's purse in a Walmart parking lot.
Leonard is one-third of the group of criminals that have allegedly robbed people and nine businesses at gun-point, according to Police.
Both Leonard and17-year-old Darius Pollard confessed to participating in some of the robberies. Leonard's older brother, 20-year-old William Leonard, denied his involvement.
Investigators say employees at the Shell Gas Station on Warm Springs Rd. picked Dominique Leonard out of a photo line-up.
The Robbery/Homicide Division of the Columbus Police Department arrested the three suspects on Nov. 18, 2013.
The robberies they are accused of being involved in span a time period between Oct. 11 and Nov. 16, and involve nine businesses and five individual victims.
The robberies involve several convenient stores in Columbus, including two Circle K convenient stores and two Summit Shell gas stations. The full list of businesses are:
1. Summit Shell Station 4499 Warm Springs Rd. 11-16-13 2. Circle K 5758 Milgen Rd. 11-14-13 3. Circle K 1801 12th Ave. 11-15-13 4. Pleasure World 4401 Veterans Parkway 11-14-13 5.

CIHC's Interactive Evaluation Framework was developed as a means of cataloguing the evaluation instruments and outcomes of 20 Health Canada funded interprofessional education for collaborative, patient-centred practice projects (IECPCP). However, it was also created as a tool that can be used by anyone who has an interest in evaluating their own interprofessional project.
By mapping the evaluation instruments used by the 20 projects on the Evolving IECPCP Framework which was developed by D'Amour and Oandasan (2004), the CIHC is presenting an easy-to-use, interactive means of evaluating interprofessional projects at every level of the system.
Click anywhere on the Interactive Evaluation Framework to view definitions of the various elements: factors known to influence the implementation of a successful interprofessional education and/or practice initiative or strategy. As you click on each element, the names of the evaluation instruments reportedly being used by the 20 IECPCP projects will be listed on the left column. You can then click on any instrument to see which educational outcomes were being measured, the validation status of the instrument and contact information of projects reporting use/development of the instrument. Each instrument will have a 'view results' link which we are hoping projects will complete to report whether or not a set of outcomes have been achieved.
Questions? Let us know at email@example.com.
Patients are the reason healthcare providers, educators, policymakers and organizations such as CIHC continue to work to change and improve the healthcare system. In order to achieve desired outcomes for patients, the education and patient care systems must manage a variety of key requirements.
Requirements within the Education System that influence Learner Outcomes:
- Educators – need the right knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes.
- Teaching factors – IPE requires a strategic and coordinated approach - What should be taught? To whom? How? When? and Where?
- Institution factors – Academic VPs/Deans/Directors must be supportive of interprofessional initiatives; new or realigned resources are required.
- Administrative factors – scheduling, grading of students, remediation are challenges.
- Educational System – Institutional and accreditation structures must support interprofessional education.
Requirements within the Professional System that influence Patient/Provider Outcomes:
- Healthcare professionals – must possess the necessary knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes to deliver collaborative patient centred practice (CPCP). Team members must practice and be willing to serve as roles models for CPCP.
- Interactional factors – must be interprofessional, interactive, with shared team goals & leadership; solutions address complex problems and have depth and breadth; members feel empowered.
- Organizational factors – Health leaders must be supportive of IECPCP initiatives. Policies, procedures, program structures, unions, resources should be aligned with IECPCP.
- Professional system – Regulatory bodies who license health care professionals have a strong influence over the competencies required for professional practice.
It is critical that Federal/Provincial/Regional/Territorial Government Policies especially in education, health and social services are consistent and supportive of IECPCP.
Research/Evaluation/Knowledge Translation will further our understanding of IECPCP, improve teaching and collaborative practice, and provide evidence of the impacts of IECPCP on Learner and Patient outcomes.

Scottish Highlands Day Trip and Edinburgh Military Tattoo
Tour the Scottish Highlands on a day trip from Edinburgh, and then watch the world-famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at night.
Tour the Scottish Highlands on a day trip from Edinburgh, and then watch the world-famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at night.
Scotland's National Centre for Dance is a complex of studios housed in a spectacular modern building in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle; it's actually worth a visit for the architecture alone. The centre runs courses in all kinds of imaginable dance – from ballroom to belly, hip-hop to Highland, tango to tap – as well as hosting workshops and performances.
A unique five-star visitor experience and recommended by BBC News as "Scotland's leading visitor-friendly attraction", The Royal Yacht Britannia is an essential visit whilst in Edinburgh. For over forty years, the Royal Yacht sailed over one million miles on nearly a thousand official visits for the British Royal Family.
Not suitable for young children. The 'City of the Dead' tour of Greyfriars Kirkyard is probably the scariest of Edinburgh's 'ghost' tours. Many people have reported encounters with the 'McKenzie Poltergeist', the ghost of a 17th-century judge who persecuted the Covenanters, and now haunts their former prison in a corner of the kirkyard.
Edinburgh's main facility – built for the 1970 Commonwealth Games, and serving as a venue for the 2014 Glasgow games – is affectionately known as the 'Commie Pool'. Recently refurbished, it has a 50m eight-lane pool, diving pool, teaching/children's pool, fitness centre and kids' soft play area.
Explore the grim and ghastly side of Edinburgh on a ghost walking tour -- from fiendish plots that led to treason and torture, to secret lives lingering in the darkest corners of the city.
Learn the secrets of Edinburgh's historic past on this afternoon walking tour of the city's famous Royal Mile. Upgrade your walking tour to include a tour of the historic Edinburgh Castle from April 1st 2014. Begin your tour at the Mercat Cross which marks the historic heart of Edinburgh. Here merchants gathered to trade: 'Mercat' is simply the Scots word for market.
Take a day trip from Edinburgh to the beautiful Scottish Highlands and get to know Loch Lomond, Trossachs National Park and Stirling Castle. The remote region is home to spectacular natural scenery with picturesque dales, mountains and lochs as well as quaint villages such as Aberfoyle.
The friendly and helpful folk here rent out top-quality bikes; rates include helmet, lock and repair kit. You can hire tents and touring equipment too. The company also organises cycle tours in Edinburgh and all over Scotland – check the website for details.
Skip the line! Purchase your ticket to The Edinburgh Dungeon ahead of time to take advantage of jumping the queue and gaining fast track entry. Don't waste time waiting in lines on vacation! The Edinburgh Dungeon uses live actors, shows, a spooky ride and interactive special effects to take you on a unique journey through Scotland's most horrible history.
Expect the unexpected on a spine-chilling walking tour, discovering Old Edinburgh's spookiest secrets. By the cover of night, your exclusive tour will pass through the historic Old Town, from the ancient gallows to the creepy Canongate graveyard.
There are many scenic bridle paths suitable for horse riding in the countryside around Edinburgh, and a number of riding schools offer two- and three-hour treks as well as tuition, including Tower Farm Riding Stables in the south of the city.
Runs every 30 minutes (every 20 minutes in July and August) from Waverley Bridge to the Royal Yacht Britannia at Ocean Terminal via the New Town, Royal Botanic Garden and Newhaven, returning via Leith Walk, Holyrood and the Royal Mile.
Fancy sampling a wee dram o' whisky and exploring the rugged landscape of the Scottish Highlands? Combine the two on a private shore excursion from the Edinburgh port, and discover the real taste of Scotland! With your private tour guide, you'll see the area's beautiful scenery, full of lochs and glens.
The becloaked and pasty-faced Adam Lyal (deceased) leads a 'Murder & Mystery' tour of the Old Town's darker corners. These tours are famous for their 'jumper-ooters' – costumed actors who 'jump oot' when you least expect it.
The Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh is located on George street only minutes from Princes Street. Some of the Memorabilia on display here include: Elvis Presley's sombrero, a pink satin stage vest worn by James Brown and a black leather jacket worn by Ringo Starr.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Fewer Americans are drinking alcohol. That's according to researchers at Boston University.
They found Americans are drinking less beer and more wine. Researchers believe the shift may be because more people are moving in a healthier direction. The study also found more people are non drinkers now, and people drink less the older they get.
Distributor Kip Hampson says over the past few years, he's seen an increase in wine sales, but recently, folks are sticking to well known brands. He said, "With the economy the way it is, a lot of people are buying the brands they are comfortable with. Brands like Kendall Jackson, Woodbridge, your everyday brands. We're seeing some people aren't branching out to venture into different brands but buying the more popular brands."
According to the study, Americans are drinking about the same amount of hard liquor.

i use real player and i cant play unfinished videos with it. i had real player before my windows was reinstalled and it worked then. do i need codec to play these UF videos?
ok turns out i can play unfinished videos but i can play them WHILE there downloading. what codec can i get for this?
dont use real one player unless its only in real one format, if its divx use divx player, WMP plays well too but just use them to test them as in for quality and realness then leave till finished.
I use real player too and have found it OK (it even told me I needed to download TAG85, does it always do this)as a beginner I am downloading to much media though. I can now play through Real, etomi,Power dvd, Windows mediaplayer, nero and divx player. I also have video inspector. Win avi converter, nvida and winmix now down loaded. My computer is much slower now but I don't know what to keep and what not to. I even have Java downloaded to run etomi Hellllp
LOL well you dont need all them, if real player asks for tag 85 codec look of websites for that codec and download it, the 2 i mentioned are the only ones you need for playing dvd-rips. They are all i use and i have had no problems ever.
to GNFNR555
>> ok turns out i can play unfinished videos but i can play them WHILE there downloading. what codec can i get for this?
While the file is downloading, it's locked so that no other application can write to it (this prevents corruption). What you do though is copy it to a different location. The copy will be playable.

The Edge of Green by Yoko Shimomura from Radiant Historia.
Hatsune Miku - Tell your world
Also love this song and have been listening to it a lot recently. This video for it actually makes me strangely emotional.
I just finished Radiant Historia and there is some beautiful music in it.
"Where the Wind and Feathers Return" A beautifully sad tune
Gairech Theme by Han Stone
Anyone who's played Mabinogi should recognise this. I used to love passing through the Gairech area because I got to listen to this music.
Marissa Stole the Precious Thing, but with a Mabinogi Parody Video so it's called Ferghus Broke a Precious Thing
I am very sad about the recent announcement that Mabinogi Europe is closing down. If they open the NA servers to EU players like they are saying they might you may see me on an NA server soon though.

Great stuff Vet. I hope MSM gets the info out ,before election...If she keeps berating them ,they just might.September 5, 2008 at 3:44 p.m.
I wondered why I didn't like Joe Gibbs:September 5, 2008 at 3:34 p.m.
Extra money n your pockets?:
I need a break:
Thanks Vet...You use some great sites,it is obvious to me you are not easy to fool.September 5, 2008 at 11:40 a.m.
Check this out:September 5, 2008 at 11:17 a.m.
Hell BighornSeptember 5, 2008 at 9:21 a.m.
Where did that come from?..Am I being singled out as being bias?...That donkey is a truth in advertising tool..I do not want to decieve anyone...I do not have such an ego,that I cannot admit I am wrong....I have as you put it,been disputed several times by right wings..So,that is factually incorrect..Maybe,I am looking at your statement wrong....I just try to be honest,that means a lot to me.
Perhaps the reason no "right wingers" dispute your attacks Mike is that they realize your admitted bias and the pointless nature of arguements with you?September 4, 2008 at 8:10 p.m.
I think you should take a look at this.September 4, 2008 at 6:56 p.m.
I think now it is Palin (since she sent out a letter requesting money, but mentioned her family) and the media that are keeping her 17 year old daughter in the spotlight and I particularly want you to pay attention to the last sentence in this article. I am wondering if the real Sarah Palin will ever stand up and answer questions on her own without a speechwriter or a teleprompter.
I am also wondering how I am going to stay out of this when I am being bombarded 24/7 with Palin. What happened to that dang "liberal media"? Why can't we get them back? Oh, I see. There is no liberal media, right? Now, I have to go over to the regular news comments and comment again for my undecided voters.
And one more observation - I think Jamie Lynn Spears was the straw that broke Bill's back - meaning he was so fed-up with Brittany and all her antics (driving with baby in front seat, etc.), and fed up with the Spears Mother who was going to write a book on How to Parent Child Actors (too funny), and then Jamie becoming pregnant. I think Bill had alot of frustration and disappointment with the whole Spears Clan and the media attention they were receiving on a minute-by-minute basis and he saw little redeeming qualities in their behaviors. So, Jamie was the tipping point for Bill. Now, the Spears Clan all enjoy their celebrity status, and with celebrity status you invite praise and criticism. Daughter Pallin is an entirely different scenario, and she deserves to be left alone by the press AND the comedians.September 4, 2008 at 6:23 p.m.
You shed a different light and you make some good points....I guess I don't really know the campaign's intentions.September 4, 2008 at 4:46 p.m.
The boyfriend and Pallin daughter are engaged to be married - so that makes him part of the family. Most normal families include the fiancé in all things family. Families don't exclude fiancés, and it sounds like the Pallin parents already think of him as their son. Jamie Lynn made no mention of marriage when she announced her pregnancy. She might have mentioned it later (aren't they now married - or at least living together?) Pointing out Bill's contradictions unfortunately brings unwanted light upon innocent Pallin daughter. And Stewart is not only trying to gig O'Reilly he is also trying to bring unwanted negative commentary upon Pallin Daughter (which is low-down and cruel). There are plenty of other ways to get at Bill O'Reilly - but Stewart wants Pallin family to suffer emotional abuse. Stewart well knows all whom he hurts with his so-called humorSeptember 4, 2008 at 4:34 p.m.
I have already said Palin's children should be off-limits,but at the same time,the McCain campaign should not send a plane to Alaska to pick up the boyfriend for a family value image..... Jon Stewart's joke was aimed at Bill O'Reilly..If you feel bad parenting leads to teenage pregnancies then that feeling should apply to the Palins also.September 4, 2008 at 4:14 p.m.
Jon Stewart is a comedian, much like Don Rickles, we know what to expect so we should not get offended if we watch them. We have a choice.
The difference is that Jaime Lynn Spears is a public figure, and the Pallin daughter is not.September 4, 2008 at 3:53 p.m.
So, it is quite proper to leave the Pallin daughter alone - and cruel to discuss her at all.
On the other hand, Jaimie Spears holds herself out to be a public role model actress, and that makes her fair game.
John Stewart is no better than O'Reilly - they are both hateful people - However, hateful humor is more hurtful
Thanks Vet, but somehow the h in http was left out in your post but I figured it out...A lot of Jon Stewarts...Great job.September 4, 2008 at 3:22 p.m.
Here you go Mike:September 4, 2008 at 3:07 p.m.
That's a good article .Pat, I am going to paste it into Word for future reference, not that it would matter...Notice the local right-wingers don't come back and say they're wrong...lol You mean Palin/McCain McCain,I can't imagine a social conservative being this gushy for John McCain.......September 4, 2008 at 1:15 p.m.
Dang! Just couldn't resist!September 4, 2008 at 12:49 p.m.
But I truly am tired of talking about McCain/Palin until they both do some "real" interviews without speechwriters and teleprompters.

Almost three years go by and the fighting continues for a DeKalb County landfill. The dispute's over whether or not it should expand from around 80 acres to just under 400.
Those opposing the expansion haven't had much success in this battle. The DeKalb County Board's approved the project, so has the Illinois Pollution Control Board, and most recently, the 2nd District Appellate Court.
"We are going to petition to the Illinois Supreme Court and ask them to take our case." -says 'Stop the Mega-Dump' citizens' group coordinator Dan Kenney.
County residents helped push the movement at an informational meeting. Kenney says this next step doesn't mean they'll see action right away.
"It will put everything on hold for a little bit longer, one month to three months, the latest would be March that we would hear back whether they're going to take the case or not."
Georgia Neal has lived in Cortland for 13 years. She supports the group and has her concerns about a bigger garbage dump, like poisonous gas collecting around Cortland Elementary School.
"It's right in the backyard of the school, I'm concerned with the health and safety of our children." -she says.
Kenney assures the school district isn't seeing any problems for now.
"They put in a monitoring device inside the school to monitor the air on a regular basis and so I think they feel that that's safe." -he adds.
If the group's petition is denied, Kenney says they've got a back-up plan. He claims there's a state law that says electors, people registered to vote in Cortland, have the right to prevent landfill expansion. The group hasn't used that argument yet because the lawsuit they're in now is different, it has to do with the unfairness of the hearing process during the county's decision to approve the dump.
Waste Management owns the DeKalb County Landfill. They're spokesperson Bill Plunkett released the following statement:
"The group has long opposed DeKalb County's approval of the expansion which occurred more than 2 years ago, we fully respect their right to meet, but otherwise have no view on the meeting."
Illinois Pollution Control Board senior attorney Kathleen Crowley states that the ball is in the oppositions' court. DeKalb County Board Chairman Larry Anderson, who voted in favor of the expansion, says as far as he's concerned, this is all a done deal.

I just caught a fascinating study by David Golebiewski over at BaseballAnalytics.org. Essentially, his conclusion is that pitchers who throw really hard get squeezed by the umpires, relative to pitchers who don't throw as hard. Turns out you're still better off throwing really hard. Still, as Golebiewski writes,
this info suggests that even the world's best judges of balls and strikes have their physical limitations. Umpires, like hitters, have less time to process and react as the radar gun readings increase. When near-triple-digit pitches are screaming toward home plate, it's harder for umps to make those fine calls on the edges of the dish.
No question about it. Anybody who's played baseball knows that the faster the pitcher, the blurrier the pitch. And the blurrier the pitch, the harder to track its exact path. One thing this means? Purely in terms of their ability to fool hitters, power pitchers are even better than the statistics suggest. Another thing this means? Maybe this already went without saying, but vision plays a huge role in umpiring. And I'm now wondering -- for just the first time, somehow -- if umpires have to regularly pass tough, baseball-centric vision tests.
The union would scream bloody murder, of course. But if an umpire can't track a 98-mile-an-hour fastball ...

Novel - Stressful
Artist: Novel
Featuring: Joell Ortiz
Producer: Noah "40" Shebib
Album: Joell Ortiz & Novel Present: Defying the Predictable
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 25 total votes )
Believe me, I want the cash, the cars and the clothes, but all the shine in the world don't mean anything when life's so Stressful, and I'm not the only who wants more than mere success. The Booth's favorite singer/songwriter/producer Novel and the always on point Joell Ortiz have teamed up for the upcoming mixtape Defying the Predictable, and today they dropped the mixtape's first leak Stressful, a gripping track that takes Drake's Successful and flips the message completely. Joining Novel and Joell are producer Noah "40" Shebib, whose original beat is largely left untouched, and DJBooth newcomer Cri$style (a.k.a. The Ink), who overlays Stressful with some golden-voiced vocals. It's hard to say this version is better than the original since it's so different. I prefer to think of them instead as two sides of the same dope coin. For more music that defies the predictable, be on the lookout for Novel and Joell's mixtape, dropping soon via DJBooth.net.

The Democratic National Convention is officially underway in Charlotte, North Carolina. On his way to the convention, President Obama went to Norfolk, Virginia. He did not mention Tuesday's bad economic news.Factory activity was down for a third straight month, and construction spending was down in July as well.Aides said the president knows more needs to be done."On Thursday night I will offer what I believe is a better path forward, a path that will create good jobs," he told the Norfolk crowd.An Obama goal in Charlotte is to get key voters groups he needs reenergized and ready to go to the polls.In last months NBC News poll, just 52% of young voters and only only 49% of Latinos said they're enthusiastic about the election, 20 points lower than last time.Democrats hope Michelle Obama can help with her prime time speech, urging a big turnout."It's our responsibility at any age to exercise the rights that people before us fought so hard to have," she says.The president doesn't arrive in Charlotte until Wednesday, and until then will be watching from Washington."I'm going to be at home and I'm going to be watching it with our girls, and I am gonna try not to let them see their daddy cry, because when Michelle starts talking, I start getting all misty," he says.One hour of the convention will be broadcast tonight, Michelle Obama's speech and the keynote by San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who will urge Hispanics to vote.

How would you and your family like to get VIP treatment at the upcoming Temecula Holiday parade?
The city has a contest on their Facebook page and one lucky person will win a highly coveted VIP parking pass, seats for up to six in the heated VIP viewing tent to watch the parade along with dinner and hot chocolate.
The deadline to enter is Nov. 29.
Check out "City of Temecula" on Facebook or log on to www. cityoftememcula.org for details
The line-up is set –95 entries this year — the route has been established — through Old Town Temecula — and the decorations have been hung — they've been up for a month — so bring on the parade.
The 2012 version of Santa's Electric Parade is set for 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7.
The parade has come a long way in 20 years. I rode in that first Holiday parade that was held in the parking lot of the Tower Plaza shopping center where we circled the lot a couple of times and even went through the Del Taco drive-thru lane
This year I've been asked to be an emcee once again and will be at the beginning of the parade introducing the entries as they head out.
Drop by and say hello. It should be fun.

I found this link on the ESPN Cubs page. Mike and Mike put together a sound clip imitating Pat and Ron. It is actually quite funny. Even Ron isn't that energetic! Greeny doesn't do a very good imitation of Pat. And, they use Cubs that played with them years ago (Alou and Sosa). Anyway, it is definitely worth a look (or two).
Let's shake off the loss to the Bucs, and take the series tomorrow.
Then on to Houston!

This is it people, what you have all been waiting for (other than catching up with The Benimonster): at 5 pm tomorrow, Friday December 7th 2012, your Georgetown Hoyas Men's Soccer team is playing in the program's first-ever national semifinal.
To boot, it's against one of the most accomplished programs in recent college soccer history, and a local rival too. The Turtlethings from the University of College Park, Maryland have an experienced squad, one of the best Macedonian college coaches around, and are hungry to get a shot at the title.
In their infinite wisdom, the sages of Bristol have decided to downgrade this year's coverage of the College Cup from the deuce to ESPNU, but whatever. Make sure you tune in (or set your DVRs) for the game tomorrow.
A family emergency prevents me from traveling to Alabama to cheer for our guys in person, but I'll be there in spirit.
Go Hoyas, bring home the Cup!

"Cyprus' program is on track and the results of the evaluation were better than expected", the Eurogroup official said.

The tour, which will be picking up people in Brooklyn (natch) will also visit the headquarters of the controversial AIGFP group.
For its part, the group denies that the protest will get out of hand:
NYT: "We're going to be peaceful and lawful in everything we do," said Jon Green, the director of Connecticut Working Families. "I know there's a lot of anger and a lot of rage about what's happened. We're not looking to foment that unnecessarily, but what we want to do is give folks in Bridgeport and Hartford and other parts of Connecticut who are struggling and losing their homes and their jobs and their health insurance an opportunity to see what kinds of lifestyle billions of dollars in credit-default swaps can buy."
Just as we felt after Chuck Grassley's suicide comments, the level of hotheadedness and anger directed individuals is way out of line, and it's likely that someone will get hurt or worse if the rhetoric keeps up like this.

Explosive start for Oh!January 25, 2010
10 minutes is all it takes for SNSD's 'Oh!' to grabbed the #1 spot on online music chart, Monkey3. I have been playing 'Oh!' repeatedly (I lost count on the no. of times and it's still playing as I'm typing now) and yes! it will be the song of the year. The chorus "Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! man i man i" is contagious! Due to the explosive comeback, there are always some jealous people who are always there to spoil the party. Who cares? We're partying with 'Oh!' and to those jealous people out there, well, get a life! I couldn't help but to check the online music charts such as Melon, Bugs!, Mnet, Soribada, etc as soon as i got off from work and WOW! 'Oh!' is now 4th on Bugs!. Hopefully, it will get into the other charts as well. I will keep clicking on the refresh button every hour to check on the progress…hee hee. My CD will arrive on the 4th of February, so, I'm really excited about the rest of the tracks in the album. For those who has not pre-order the album, you MUST do so, otherwise you'll regret it! Every SNSD albums are really precious to me. Not only it has lots of pretty photos in there, it also makes you feel as if you're buying more than just a CD. It's like a collection kind of thing. Well, if you're wondering where to preorder, you can click on the banner on right panel of this blog. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!….here I go again..lol

A - Rich espresso color, almost black. When held up to light you can see a very faint redness even though it's nearly opaque. Has a nice tan head with a little bit of lacing 4.0
S - Heavy malt nose with a hint of brown sugar and chocolate. 3.5
T - Bitter malt and espresso flavor with molasses undertones. 3.5
M - Smooth mouthfeel with medium-thick body. Little carbonation. 4.0
O - Solid brown ale from Richmond, VA. I think this may even be better than Legend's Brown Ale, though it's hard to say when I don't have them both side by side. I think this beer is FAR better on-tap but few places have it. In the bottle though, I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5. I'll re-review it once I get the chance to have it on-tap.

S: Weak aroma leaving the upcoming flavor a
guess. I'm okay with surprises.
T: Tastes of the aforemenitoned coffee and
chocolate,but not sweet, very "robustish".
M: Good body, you're definately drinkin' some-
thing but it's not particularly heavy or
light. Good balance on this one.

Blurb on the 22 ounce bottle says that this dark brown ale is an attempt to replicate the efforts of early Virginia brewers. Guess that explains why it looks like a porter. Pours a deep chestnut brown, opaque essentially. Small light brown head that retains well and leaves some sticky lace on the glass.
Aroma opens with dark chocolate and fruity(mostly red apple)hops. Notes of roasted coffee and grapefruit hops join in.
Mouthfeel has a solid medium body with an ideal moderate carbonation.
Tastes like a hoppy porter. Dark chocolate with a subtle roasted coffee presence, balanced by grapefruity hops and an earthy bitterness. Ripe red cherries add an interesting element I've picked up in good stouts. Some almond nuttiness steers things back to a suggestion of a brown ale. Finishes with a dry hop earthiness and a dark chocolate aftertaste.
Interesting dark ale here, to be sure. Tasty and very drinkable, it comes off as a good hoppy porter by my estimation.

On-tap at the Capital Ale House in Richmond, VA. Had a pint right after the Legends Brown, which made for a nice comparison. The No. 4 is a thicker, slightly richer beer with a lot more candy chocolate flavor and only a little roast. Different, but still a fine American brown ale. It was a nice post dinner brew as I enjoyed this after a bowl of mussels and plate of frites.

Poured from a bomber to a big glass mug the liquid is dark brown to black and has very nice carbonation. The head is brown 3 finger tall and leaves all kinds of great lace white fading slowly to a thick pad of crust.
The smell is good roasty toasty malt with a nice balancing hop.
The taste follows and deliver very much in complexity, toast with peach jam, coffee with cream. Say I will look for this again.
The mouthfeel is good better then medium body and great carbonation.
The drinkability is also good, a very nice beer. It's biggest fault is that it is not a huge stout. True to style this beer is very good. Prosit MK

Tried this on a tasting this evening at the Beer Run here in C'ville, and it was one of two that were intriguing enough to take home a bottle of to review more in depth
A: A VERY dark brown... getting closer to black. Maybe a little dark for a brown ale, maybe not, but it looks nice enough. A pale tan head, rather creamy, with a decent retention.
S: Some caramel notes, along with a toasty malt and even a touch of nuttiness - similar to cashew.
T: Toasted malt grains, light coffee-like or chicory notes, even a touch of a milk chocolate flavour in there. Some of the same nuttiness as noted in the aroma.
M: A decently smooth and semi-dry finish. A nice, moderate aftertaste that makes for a good finish.
D: Pleasant, and an easy drinker with a pretty average ABV. This could make for a nice choice for a session brew. A nice brown, and worth picking up a bomber.

From 22oz bomber to Bruges hyrid glass on 8/23/11
*From notes
-- Bottled purchased at the Wine Gourmet in Roanoke, VA --
A: Absolutely lovely dark brown. A good pour yields a beautiful 1.75 head that's bubbly and creamy. Decent lacing follows.
S: Like a classic brown ale. Slightly nutty, roasty and malty.
T: Pretty laid back. Not a whole lot to get excited about until the finish, where the nuttiness and a slightly toasty essence kicks in.
M: A bit oily, though I find this to be the case with a lot of brown ales. In comparison to others in style, it's above average. As it warms, the body opens up and feels a bit more creamy and robust.
O: Olde Richmond's Batch No. 4 Brown Ale is a very traditional, yet well assembled beer. No real frills, just proper execution of a classic style. To those looking for a lesson on the the foundations of a brown, look no further.

My cousin brought me this beer straight from VA. Poured a deep mahogany with ruby highlights. It had a fluffy off-white head which dissappears rather quickly. The aroma was a bit lacking but had hints of roasted malts and chocolate. The taste was dominated by a metallic taste but had strong maltiness and slight bitterness. Had tastes of roasted malts and chocolates. The mouthfeel was heavier than expected with low carbonation. The overall drinkability was average. This wasn't a bad beer but not a great beer either.

22oz bottle purchased from the St George brewery. Poured into a standard pint glass.
A - Black coloration that shines a dark amber in the light. Produced a two fingertip head that eventually settled to a thin layer of froth, riding all the way down. Spotted lacing.
S - Sweet chestnut notes, dark malts, caramel and slight hints of chocolate.
T - Surprisingly hoppy and extremely dry. Well balanced. Malty backbone and the chocolate shines through slightly in the aftertaste. Bitterness is present yet mild. Pretty tasty overall.
M - Dry finish, no residues left over, and a nice carbonation level.
D - Very good, I could easily make a night with this brew. It's always great to have a hometown beer as good as this. If you see it around don't hesitate to grab one.

Served in a Devil's Backbone pint glass.
Not that it has anything to do with anything, but the theme from "Tiny Toon Adventures" is playing in the background as I begin this review. Now, when they call this bad boy "brown", they mean it, dammit: not much light is passing through what I can only describe as black bordering on brown. To be fair, it's only a 75 Watt bulb, but it's still a pretty dark brew. I want to help it find the peace and the star...whatever the hell that means (A Perfect Circle is playing now...). I take a mighty whiff and all really get is an assload of wheat, not much else at all. I was expecting more maltiness, more syrup, more anything, but only wheat comes through to me. Maybe it's just me. I dunno. A darker version of this comes through in the taste. It's like what Mark Knopfler puts forth ("Sultans of Swing" is kicking my ass right now) about "Guitar George": "It's strictly rhythm: he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing." Indeed, dark wheat and not much else populate the flavor profile. It's not bad, but not very unique or interesting either. The same feeling is experienced during the bridge: The feel is very ordinary Brown, with a decent amount of carbonation, a generally smooth texture, and a relatively dry finish. "We are the Sultans of Swing." You may play some good enough guitar, but I'm not sure I'm gonna seek you out when next you play. Not that I'll avoid you, but I won't be ironing your patch onto my denim any time soon, either.

Clear maple syrup body that becomes opaque towards the center of the glass. Large tan head with full range of bubbles. Good retention and lace.
Smell is dark bread, earth, molasses and burnt coffee beans.
Sweet dark earthy heavy molasses taste. Roasted coffee beans gain strength through the swallow and impart a burnt hop flavor to the overall dark malt flavors. The aftertaste is pleasantly mild and long lingering.
Medium smooth body, abit of coating but slick with plenty of residual sugars.
Delicious and highly drinkable.

3.95/5 rDev +6.5%
Appearance: Arrives at the table with an espresso brown color with tan highlights and a mocha head that retains beautifully and sheets the glass with lace
Smell: Modest brown bread aroma
Taste: Starts out with a brown bread flavor that has an interesting sour rye-like note to it; after the swallow, the rye elements pick up and provide an interesting foil to the bready aspect
Mouthfeel: Medium body and moderate carbonation
Drinkability: Refreshing and somewhat interesting for a brown with the slightly sour flavor profile; not a bad start for this new brewer

Pours a tawny brown with sheath lacing down the mug and a frothy one-finger tan head. A mild malt smell of roasted malts and chocolate. A heavier bodied brown ale than most, and is smooth and creamy with a good dose of roasted, coffee and hints of sweet chocolate and caramel (maybe some toffee also) that lead to a bittersweet and dry finish (a little too dry for my liking). Hops are kept to a minimum. A nice brown ale that was a change of pace. Could have this again on tap.

Presentation: 22 oz. bomber bottle, no dating that I could find, poured into a pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a deep dark brown color, almost completely opaque but not quite. The head formed small, barely a finger's worth, and faded to some lacing.
Aroma: Chocolate malts with a nutty background.
Taste: Toasted malts and milk chocolate up front and through the middle, some hops come through then but they're faint and I couldn't place them. The finish is bitter and chocolatey, lingering nicely.
Mouthfeel: medium boded, smooth and almost creamy. The carbonation tingled the tongue nicely.
Overall: According to the back of the bottle, this recipe was intended to recreate what one would have found during Revolutionary times. Sometimes I wonder what our founding fathers would think if they saw how the majority has left fine brews like this behind for the fizzy yellow stuff, but I digress. This is a tough find, but if you can I highly recommend grabbing some.

Yum!! I poured this big beer into my anxious tumbler at 50 degrees. The pretty beer was a nice rich brown mohogany color with a lovely tan head. Head was fine bubbly chunky and lumpy like it ought to be. Smell was hoppy with toffee. Taste was yummy and was like roasted toffee with chickory for breakfast. I liked the beer and will buy again.

Poured from 22oz brown bomber into a clear pint glass. No freshness date.
A: Beautiful deep brown with ruby edges and cake-top tan 1-finger head with crowns of lacing.
S: Prominent aromas are cocoa, roasted malt, molasses, and a bit of leafy, tobacco hops.
T: An extremely flavorful brown ale with supremely malted flavor of chocolate, cocoa, roasted malts with a hint of acrid burned dark malt, and a surprising amount of leafy, tobacco-tinged hops flavor that is not overbearing.
M: A full-bodied brown ale which belies the hefty malt load in this beauty. It's hard to think of a brown ale that is as mouth-filling. Pleasant cocoa, toasted malt aftertaste. Carbonation is also exceptionally well-done.
D: A well-crafted brown ale that is clearly made with extraordinary care and attention. Much better in the bottle as warming accentuates the roasted and cocoa flavors.

Poured into a pint glass. You definitely can't see any light coming through this brown ale. It looks very stout-like. Has a nice off-white head lacing around the glass, which maintains throughout.
It smells roasty and of chocolate. Not too pungent. Tastes much like it smells. Very roasty, chocolatey, with a hint of dark fruitiness. It's pretty delicious. It leaves your mouth a little dry and has a dark chocolate aftertaste.
I will most definitely buy this again. I was a little skeptical of it's dark color compared to other browns, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's very approachable but at the same time very unique.

This is a really good beer, though I think it comes off more like a porter than a brown ale. But so it goes.
Pours a mellow black with a slight head. The smell is strong with a heavy dark malt smell. The flavor is dark, rich, and entirely porter-like. The mouthfeel is surprisingly thin for such a rich color and flavor and rolls off the tongue nicely. Very drinkable.

3.28/5 rDev -11.6%
Appearance: Pours a dark brown body with a small, wispy, off-white head.
Smell: Altogether mild aroma, but there are some notes present smelling of walnuts, a single drop of chocolate, and a splash of black tea.
Taste: Roasted nuts and a teaspoon of table sugar. The vaguest hints of chocolate and caramel. Very, very light bitterness interrupts, then it's back to the nuts.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Ah, nuts!

This is the second Olde Richmond beer I've had and my conclusion is that they are having a difficult time in characterizing their beers.
The IPA that I had was not a bad beer, for a pale ale. Definitely not what the average beer person would call an IPA.
This beer is clearly a Porter. Pours jet black with an cream colored head. Nice color. If you hold it up to a lamp, you can see faint red color.
Aroma is pleasant roasted malt with a hint of licorice.
Taste is a roasty, nutty flavor with licorice and coffee notes.
Mouthfeel is substantial, creamy. Not sure the OG on this.
Overall, this is a very nice beer. I expect that if you were expecting a brown ale, you might be surprised. If you go into this expecting a Porter, you won't be disappointed.
I enjoyed it (much more than the IPA) and will buy again. $4 for a 22 ounce.

I know we all know that James Tiberius Howard is an All-Star. I think we can all agree that he's right in the thick of the Vezina conversation also. I've been a staunch supporter of Howie ever since he facewashed Crosby in his rookie year. He deserved the Calder that year - he deserves to be in the All-Star game this year. But how realistic is it that Red Wings Nation can vote him in?I think all hockey fans discovered early on that All-Star voting was nothing more than a "who's fanbase can stuff the ballot box harder" contest. By the close of voting, it was Crosby, Malkin, Toews, Letang and Duncan Keith as the skaters with Marc-Andre Fleury between the pipes. Three Pens and two Blackhawks? Yeah, that sure seems representative of the entire NHL fanbase to me. Even with my intense hatred for those teams I can agree that they are extremely talented players that deserved to be in Raleigh (okay, maybe not Fleury, but I digress...), but isn't it just a tad ridiculous that Lidstrom, the eventual Norris winner, wasn't one of the defenseman? Or Tim Thomas, who was in the middle of a record setting season, didn't get in as the goaltender?
This year we're doing a little better. Looking at the latest leadebroards on NHL.com, Tim Thomas is topping the goalie list and he again deserves it. Phil Kessel leads the forwards and he's off to a blazing hot start. Hell, even the defenseman on top, Erik Karlsson, is having a pretty good year with 23 points (only 2 goals and a minus-2 though...but again, I digress). Move down any of those lists, though, and things start to get a little insane. Daniel Alfredsson has as many points as Crosby...in 13 more games. Oh, he's also a minus-4 to Crosby's plus-7. I don't even like Crosby, but that's crazy. Toews, Stamkos, Datsyuk - all having better years than any Senator. Yet, they are far down the voting leaderboards. So instead of Hawks and Pens fans ballot stuffing this year, it looks like Senators fans are picking up the slack. Hey, I've done it too. Zetterberg isn't exactly having a career year and he was on my ballot. However, so were Ryan Suter and Shea Weber, at least for a few votes (never in place of Lidstrom, though. I try to be fair, not crazy). Jimmy Howard, though? My #1 goaltender, every time.
Which finally brings me to Mr. Howard. He currently sits behind such goaltending powerhouses as Ilya "We Solved Our Goaltending Crisis By Overpaying An Average Goaltender" Bryzgalov and Roberto "My Job Got Stolen By A Ginger" Luongo. He's just ahead of Martin "I've Benefited From The Trap More Than Anyone In The History Of Ever" Brodeur. Crawford, Fleury, Rinne (who I am actually a huge fan of)...they all have worse numbers than Jim. But Jimmy Howard plays for the Red Wings. You aren't a good goalie if you play for the Red Wings. Howard is over 115, 000 votes behind second place. That's a big hill to climb 30 (or 90, if you vote on all three platforms) votes at a time.
I think it's time to accept that Jimmy isn't going to get the votes. Do we stop the campaign? Hell, no. We need to show that we support our goaltender. Really, we need to show the rest of the NHL that Detroit can recognize real goaltending talent. We don't want Chris Osgood in the Hall of Fame just because he was a Red Wing. We want him in because he has over 400 wins and three Cup rings. We want Jimmy Howard in the All-Star game because he is an All-Star goalie.
So does Jimmy Howard play in Ottawa on January 29th? Like I said above, I don't think we can vote him in. I do think it's impossible for the NHL to ignore the season he's having. He'll be there with all the confidence and swagger we expect from Tiberius. And while the League's supposedly "elite" goalies are golfing, Jim Howard will be helping the Wings to their 12th Stanley Cup.
Vote Jimmy for the All-Star Game!

[Jabman's] iPhone 5 Review - 3 weeks in-
Beautiful Hardware
Boring Software.
Like everyone, when the iPhone 5 was first announced I was somewhat underwhelmed, which has become the norm for me at least in recent apple iPhone events. Maybe it's because most rumors raise expectations so much that I feel this way. I got the iPhone 5 the very first day it was released. And also like everyone as soon as I held it in my hand I loved it. 3 weeks into using it I still from time to time hold it and admire its design. Especially when you see a previous iPhone next to it. Another thing that has grabbed my attention is the new camera. Apple sort of undersold it in my opinion. Making it seem as if it was roughly the same camera that was in the iPhone 4s with minor upgrades. But in my experience the new shooter is a much better camera than the previous one. You notice the difference when you introduce it to nature on a beautiful sunny day. The detail once you zoom in makes it apparent just how much better the new camera in the iPhone 5 really is. Even more so than how much it has improved in low light photo-capture. All of that combined with the iPhone 5's stunning new display photos taken with the camera were really pleasing to my eyes.
On the new iPhone is another thing to behold. Unfortunately the software wont allow you to see just how much faster the new A6 processor can be. Opening folders is just as fast doing it on the iPhone 4S because of the rolling down animation however you start to see the speed of the new A6 chip when you do things like launching apps or taking HDR photos.
I am more than underwhelmed. I am disappointed. It's the same software we've had for the past year. I wont even get into the maps issue. Siri really needs to step up her game! The iOS 6 improvements made to siri were really disappointing. Asking what was the score between my 2 favourite teams is nifty and my friends and I have used this a few times but I want faster response times, more accurate voice to text and better voice recognition. Not "Siri, how tall is Kobe Bryant…. waits 5 seconds….
I keep hearing that with LTE Siri is now Much faster but I still wait up to 10 seconds for an answer more often than not.Furthermore, I'll never ever use the swipe down menu to tweet or update my status on facebook. Speaking of facebook integration I now have 500 birthdays on my calender. Thanks for that btw.
Battery Life
When I first got the iPhone 5 I let it drain and then charged it untill it was full and then some! I kept doing that for a week (the letting it drain to 1 or 0%) and then charging it. However it does not last me a whole day. I use my iPhone a lot and I get 6 hours out of it at most. I read somewhere that the new battery is only 10 mAh more than the 4S. I think its the LTE that drains it however even with LTE off I get around 8 hours even when I use it moderately.
One word; Lighting! It's actually great. It looks better and is more useful but not ecosystem-wise. The other day I ran out of battery and could not charge it on my car charger because I had forgot I had the old connector there. Not a big deal and 9/10 for Ecosystem is still impressive to say the least. Everything else, as per usual is dandy in apple's friendly Eco :) All in all the new iPhone 5 is a great phone with great hardware by the hardware nerds at apple HQ that is being held back by the software nerds who work for apple. In a perfect world, had the iPhone 5's software improved as much as it's hardware this new device could have been the first 10/10 in my books.

Award-winning author Phillips has been haunted by this story for 40 years. Her novel is based on the murder of the Chicago widow Asta Eicher and her three children in 1931. Lonely and out of money, Asta corresponds with a seemingly moneyed and well-mannered stranger named Harry Powers. She is lured to West Virginia, where, within a few days, the family is brutally murdered. Emily Thornhill is the Chicago journalist who becomes deeply involved in solving the sensational case, during which she falls into a passionate but problematic love affair. Phillips portrays the Eicher family so charmingly, especially the youngest child, Annabelle, that our horror and outrage are tenfold. This earns a place on the shelf with such classics as Night of the Hunter and In Cold Blood. -- Lisa Howorth, Square Books, Oxford, MS
From one of America's most accomplished and acclaimed fiction writers, a chilling, spectacularly riveting novel based on a real life multiple murder by a con man who preyed on widows—a story that has haunted Jayne Anne Phillips for more than four decades.
Jayne Anne Phillips's debut collection, Black Tickets, galvanized critics and readers when it was published in 1979 and announced her as one of the great new voices of her generation. Her four novels, prizewinners and reader favorites, have secured her place as one of America's most celebrated storytellers. In Quiet Dell, Phillips re-imagines a gruesome crime in a tiny West Virginia community not far from where she grew up.
In Chicago in 1931, Asta Eicher, mother of three, is lonely and despairing, pressed for money after the sudden death of her husband. She begins to receive seductive letters from a chivalrous, elegant man named Harry Powers, who promises to cherish and protect her, ultimately to marry her and to care for her and her children. Weeks later, the family are dead.
Emily Thornhill, one of the few women in the Chicago press, covers the case and becomes deeply invested in understanding what happened to this beautiful family, particularly to the youngest child, Annabel, an enchanting girl with a precocious imagination and sense of magic. Bold and intrepid, Emily allies herself with the Chicago banker who funds the investigation and who is wracked by guilt for not saving Asta. Driven by secrets of their own, the heroic characters in this magnificent tale will stop at nothing to ensure that Powers is convicted. A mesmerizing retelling of a harrowing crime, Quiet Dell is a tour de force of obsession and imagination.
About the Author
Jayne Anne Phillips is the author of Lark and Termite, Motherkind, Shelter, and Machine Dreams, and the widely anthologized collections of stories, Fast Lanes and Black Tickets. A National Book Award and National Book Critic's Circle Award finalist, Phillips is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, a Bunting Fellowship, the Sue Kaufman Prize, and an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. She is currently Professor of English and Director of the MFA Program at Rutgers-Newark, the State University of New Jersey, where she established The Writers At Newark Reading Series. Information, essays and text source photographs on her fiction can be viewed at JayneAnnePhillips.com. She divides her time between Boston, New York, and Newark, New Jersey.
Praise for Quiet Dell…
"In a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction, Jayne Anne Phillips has written the novel of the year. It's the story of a serial killer's crimes and capture, yes, but it's also a compulsively readable story of how one brave woman faces up to acts of terrible violence in order to create something good and strong in the aftermath. Quiet Dell will be compared to In Cold Blood, but Phillips offers something Capote could not: a heroine who lights up the dark places and gives us hope in our humanity."
-Stephen King
"Quiet Dell has all the elements of a murder mystery, but its emotional scope is larger and more complex. It combines a strange, hypnotic and poetic power with the sharp tones of documentary evidence. It offers a portrait of rural America in a time of crisis and dramatizes the lives of a number of characters who are fascinating and memorable."
-Colm Tóibín, author of Brooklyn and The Testament of Mary

The President can commit the country to war without much consultation with the legislative branch of government. He seems to sanguinely pass judgement of innocent and guilt in his public remarks on matters currently under consideration by a jury
To be sure, the congress has not been dissolved. At this writing, the supreme court is still meeting to decide vital questions of constitutional law. But the autonomy of the two branches of government seems to be in question. The executive branch, acting in behalf of the ruling class, but often without their consent, seems to suffer the supreme arrogance of power. Senators are reduced to delivering feeble whining protests against this concentration of power.
One might think that these words were written about George W Bush. Rather, I got them from a pamphlet I'm currently reading, called Honor America – The nature of fascism, historic struggles against it and a strategy for today by Stanley Aronowitz. It was released in 1970.
Some things never change, eh?
