From the Hebrew Press
The Musawi Assassination: A Foretelling of Israel's New Policies in Lebanon
By Dr. Israel Shahak
The Feb. 16 assassination of Sheikh Abbas Musawi, which triggered a cycle of bloody attacks and counterattacks from Lebanon to Argentina, has focused press attention on Israel's current militant policy in Lebanon. According to Uzi Benziman, the chief political correspondent of Ha'aretz, "the decision to eliminate the leader of Hezbollah physically was made several months before he was killed" and awaited only a suitable opportunity to carry it out.
Other Hebrew press commentators concurred, and many supplied additional details of a policy that already has resulted in Israeli deaths in Israel's "security zone" in Lebanon, in the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, and in Israel itself. Avi Benayahu, writing in the Feb. 21 Al Hamishmar, reported that "the decision to hit Musawi was reached by a senior army echelon, faithful to the doctrine of high-frequency strikes at the interests of terrorist organizations, whenever and wherever available intelligence data makes it possible."
Countering Peace Rumors
Ran Edelist, who, although a relative dove, has perhaps the best access of any Israeli reporter to all branches of Israeli intelligence, wrote in the Jan. 17 Yerushalaim that one objective of the new Israeli policy is to offset effects of the Madrid Conference.
One effect was Lebanese euphoria over "a vague hint" by Uri Lubrani, Israel's "coordinator of activities" in Lebanon, "of some sort of withdrawal from Lebanon," Edelist wrote. "Many people in southern Lebanon heard rumors to this effect, and the earth began to quake under the feet of everyone who had collaborated with Israel."
In fact, since last November, the Israeli press has reported massive desertions from the Israeli-controlled South Lebanese Army (SLA), in spite of pay raises offered to stanch the attrition. According to these Israeli media reports, the authorities were not able to replace the deserters, even by applying "the usual Israeli methods." This refers to the practice of ordering extended Lebanese families in the region to deliver a specified number of recruits. Collective punishments are administered to families for non-compliance, and permits to work in Israel are issued as rewards for families that meet their quota.
As these traditional methods faltered, Israeli authorities adopted new and tougher measures to reassure the collaborators, and convince all Lebanese that Israel meant to occupy its "security zone" and maintain control over adjacent areas indefinitely.
Quoting Israeli army sources, Edelist wrote that one instrument of this new policy is "softening of the population." This, he reported, involves measures inside and beyond the "security zone" by Israeli and South Lebanese Army units so ferocious as to be comparable to the massacres of Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut in 1982.
Although "softening actions" against the population and the interrogatory torture of prisoners has earned both SLA officers and SLA security personnel the epithet "savage beasts" among Lebanese, Edelist wrote, "in the Israeli army nobody knows or wants to know" about SLA atrocities.
What Edelist seems to be saying between the lines, and according to other information available in the Hebrew press, is that Israeli soldiers are stationed in impressive numbers both in Israel's Lebanese "security zone" and beyond its boundaries. These Israeli forces in Lebanon are of two kinds. Counterinsurgency units patrol on foot and shoot on sight anyone they suspect of being a saboteur. There also are Apacha helicopter units directly attacking specified targets and transporting foot soldiers for raids on distant villages or to erect roadblocks on Lebanese highways in order to search passing cars and seize suspected activists.
Such operations extend well beyond the zone, so that other parts of south Lebanon also find themselves under sporadic Israeli military occupation. For the Israeli army, this mode of domination is more cost-effective than the direct occupation of southern Lebanon, as in 1982 and 1985.
"In the Israeli army nobody knows or wants to know" about SLA atrocities.
Now small but highly mobile Israeli units made up solely of volunteers suffice for the task. This reduces the burden on the Israeli army and Israeli society that resulted from employment of massive units of combat and support troops during the 1982 to 1985 period. Perhaps the only useful lesson which the Israeli army learned from its previous Lebanese experience was the high cost of direct rule.
However, the Israeli army still seems to believe it can occupy large Arab-inhabited areas if it relies on the "correct" occupation methods now being battle-tested in south Lebanon. Assault helicopters, especially the Apaches, perform a crucial role in the terror operations essential to the new occupation tactics.
These tactics also rely on strict compliance by the Lebanese army in the areas sporadically occupied by Israel, and by the Lebanese government in Beirut. Such compliance is achieved by threats, especially since Lebanese appeals for American protection, conveyed either directly or via Syria, have brought no result.
An apparent Israeli reason for promptly admitting responsibility for the murder of Musawi, his wife, his young son and his bodyguards was to demonstrate to the Lebanese how firmly the United States supports everything Israel does in Lebanon.
Hezbollah Opposition
It is this indirect but brutal Israeli occupation, however, which has escalated the hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. The Hezbollah, in fact, has been the only force in Lebanon effectively opposing Israel's "indirect occupation."
Directly quoting grudging praise from a colonel in charge of Israeli troops in the "security zone," Edelist writes: "Hezbollah men know what they are doing. They have superb military intelligence and are good in planning. They don't knock their heads against the wall. They don't attack right where the Israeli or South Lebanese troops are stationed in force, but study the area and prepare their actions carefully. They operate in cells, they know what field and communications security mean, and their explosive charges are nasty and murderous. Their fighters are local inhabitants. One cannot attack Hezbollah baes, because none exist."
Israeli Security System explanations for the policy change in Lebanon suggest that the same considerations may also be applied to other war theaters. Reserve General Yossi Peled, who headed the Northern Command and was therefore in charge of Lebanese affairs for five years until his retirement in 1991, said in Yediot Ahronot of Feb. 21, "I believe that hitting Musawi was an extraordinary achievement, for which the Israeli army deserves the highest congratulations. It demonstrated extraordinary skills both in the preparation by army intelligence and its execution." Peled added that an operation on such a scale "must have been prepared for many months or even years."
Peled's hyperbole ignores the fact that the operation consisted of an attack by a modern assault helicopter against an ordinary civilian automobile and, according to Hadashot of Feb. 28, Israeli army intelligence learned "from the Beirut papers of Thursday" that Musawi was scheduled to visit the town of Jibshit on Sunday, and timed the assassination accordingly.
"Account Settling"
General Peled further declared that "the war against terror requires account settling, a perfectly legitimate concept referring to the need to exterminate physically those who take decisions resulting in the loss of human life." Noting that by themselves neither "hitting only the heads of terror [organizations]" nor hitting "only the executors of terrorism" will "produce the desired results," Peled advocates "an interlocked method of operation" that does both. He informs his readers that "Arab mentality" is very different from "our mentality." The violent methods he advocates, he declares, are well adapted to "the Arab mentality."
This tenet of a different Arab "mentality" also figures prominently in an article in the Feb. 20 Yediot Ahronot by Benyamin Merhav, revealingly entitled "To beat them or not to beat them." Merhav, once a senior intelligence official responsible for Israel-China connections, had advanced to the post of director-general of the Foreign Ministry when Foreign Minister David Levy recently dismissed him, apparently because his hawkishness was too extreme for Levy's taste.
Merhav lists four factors with which Israel has to contend in Lebanon as Iran, Syria, the Lebanese government and the Shi'i. For the first two factors, he advocates alternating pressure and negotiations until both countries halt "the flow of money and other facilities" to Lebanon. This will have the effect of "speedily strangling the Shi'i."
Officials continue to regard the assassination as an unprecedented success.
In dealing with the second pair of factors, Merhev advocates making it clear to the Lebanese government that unless it follows Israeli dictates, it will lose "the little that remains of its sovereignty" in the south. In regard to the Shi'i, Merhav complacently declares that the Musawi assassination "convinced them that they were left with no choice except to lick their wounds and acquiesce." He continues: "We can assume they have absorbed the message, at least for a time, even though they are still likely to do something here or there. After what we did to them, we can proceed to build up good relations with the Shi'i of south Lebanon, since. . . they now know that they have no other choice if they want to survive and to prosper."
Recent Attacks and Emerging Doubts
For several weeks, a majority of Israeli Jews shared such viewpoints. Doubts emerged only after the effects of the first katyusha rocket attacks on northern Israel from Lebanon since 1982 could no longer be disguised. Even then, criticisms were mixed with adulation of the army.
A good example is an article by Amnon Denker in the Feb. 21 Hadashot in which he points out that "after the killing of one important Arab, the katyusha attacks managed to disrupt life in the north for almost a week." But he does not hide his personal satisfaction over Musawi's fate:
"One does not need to be a bloodthirsty chauvinist to feel mightily pleased by the sight of a Hezbollah leader blasted up into the air and falling down in pieces," he writes. "One can assume that the image of a bearded fellow in a black turban being struck by an Apache helicopter missile must be quite thrilling for the average Israeli, especially for its demonstration of the contrast between their qualities and ours. O army, how gorgeously thou performest!"
However repulsive such public exultation, the self-congratulation in official quarters is worse. Uzi Benziman, a reliable window into the real thinking of the Israeli government, reports in the Feb. 20 Ha'aretz that, although "the atmosphere [in Jerusalem] was traumatic" during the katyusha attacks and the consequent massive deployment of Israeli army forces into Lebanon, after the army withdrawal the mood shifted to relief.
"Right now, both in Jerusalem [the location of the prime minister's office] and in Tel Aviv [the location of the Ministry of Defense], those responsible for the killing of Abbas Musawi and for the army's retaliation to the hail of katyushas perceive the whole affair as the best evidence of Israel's profound political and strategic wisdom," Benziman writes. Another manifestation of this wisdom, he makes clear, is the effect of Israeli "multi-directional strikes" on Syria.
"Those who carried it out are satisfied that the entire sequence of events from the Musawi killing up to the return of the Israeli forces to their bases now will directly influence the negotiations between the Israelis and the Syrians and Lebanese in Washington," Benziman writes. "By this logic, the wheel of violence is presumed to have set the wheels of politics in motion after nothing else had worked. This success, claim the self-satisfied men in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, will from now on propel the progress toward an ultimate stabilization of the entire Mideast."
Only after terror attacks on Israeli diplomats, culminating in the destruction of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, did the Israeli public mood turn more critical. Nahum Barnea wrote in the March 20 Yediot Ahronot that "The attacks in Ankara and Buenos Aires. . . prove that Musawi's life was not worth the price we paid."
But in his report of the same date Benziman says officials continue to regard the assassination as an unprecedented success of the new Israeli policies in Lebanon, justified because "Israel is engaged in long-term struggle against all Arab states and against all Islamic fanatics, all of whom accept murder as a norm of behavior."
Such evaluations in the Hebrew press make it clear that Israeli leaders are likely to try for more such "successes," and on a larger scale. ❑

stripes and baroque
I love prints on prints , even if they are as simple as stripes on baroque . This is one of my Go-To outfits . something simple and on-the-go . To make it more casual I paired it with a Chambray shirt and the basic black scarf . For accessories , I love mini bags and purses at the moment . something to carry the basics - wallet and phone - with no other hustle .

My 2013
2013. What a year . I won't be so dramatic or hysterical about the passing of a year in a blink of an eye , but let's face it . In a year , one can learn a lot . From failures , to simple achievements , and little life pleasures .
this year I did some collaborations with other bloggers , companies , and online stores . I learned that not all plans go as planned , and some of them don't happen . But i gained experience from these ups and downs . that's the motto of life .
What I learned in 2013 ?
-Life passes by so quickly that you won't even realize it .
-Try to make the best of each day .
-Smile , always .
-When life puts you down , it will sure pick you up .
-People are friendly if you are to them .
-Don't be afraid of trying new things : they might turn very good or happen to be not for you .
-Travelling with your friends and family is priceless .
-Count your blessings .
-Studying and doing your best will give you a bonus in the future .
-Learn from your mistakes .
-Don't waste your time .
this is just a glimpse of my year , hope 2014 will hold better and more cheerful events for all of us .
Enjoy these pictures . they are my favorite .
I already have some new year's resolutions planned . What are yours ?

Long Time Ago
It feels like ages -and it does- since i last updated the blog . I was so caught up in the whole studying and tests madness .. a test every month was pure hell . luckily , i have some time before my next one . Today i share with you a very sporty outfit i wore in October . of course it is so much colder now , but these pictures were meant to see the light -or appear on your screens- . of course the Desigual bag is my favorite of the moment . I love this varsity jacket i got from H&M so much . Makes me feel fierce because of the Tiger on the back ! . what do you think about it ?

Five products only a nerd could love
One of the perks of writing about technology and innovation is the opportunity to get your hands on all sorts of new products, usually made by folks with a vision of how their new gadget will change the world. The downside of this privilege, however, is the knowledge that many perfectly fantastic products will never become household names, no matter how deserving they might be. With that in mind, I wanted to pay tribute to five products that, unfortunately, I fear only total nerds like myself will ever truly fall in love with. Read More

Under the Microscope: iPhone 5s vs. Samsung Galaxy S4
Comparing the iPhone 5s to the Galaxy S4 isn't really all that different from comparing the iPhone 5 to the Galaxy S4. But the 5s does offer a few key upgrades over its predecessor, so we thought it was worth busting out the microscope to revisit Apple's and Samsung's flagships. How do the 5s' new fingerprint sensor, A7 chip, and improved camera stack up next to the GS4? Join Gizmag, as we go hands-on, to pit the iPhone 5s against the Galaxy S4. Read More
Review: Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch
When a new tech product launches, reviewers usually come to some sort of consensus. Often something just clicks, and you see raves across the board. Other times, the product has obvious flaws, and critics are all equally quick to point those out. The early consensus for the Samsung Galaxy Gear, however, isn't quite jiving with us. Though it's been almost universally panned, we had a very different take on it. Why? Read on, as Gizmag gives you a different perspective on the new Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch. Read More

The beer pours a nice gold color with a thick frothy white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a dry, yet sweet smelling pilsner and Munich malt scent. It has a Marzen character to it. The taste is decent as well. Again, it has a sweet Munich malt character that goes down easy and finishes with a touch of dry lager yeast esters. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with good carbonation. This is an easy drinking beer with a good deal of malt character.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #57 (October 2011):
Not half bad, but softer citric hops never really seem to win us over when in a lager. Somewhat drinkable and balanced, but lacking any real pizzazz. Chalk this one up to a good try. Perhaps this is one of those beers that needs a partner ... like lunch.
LOOK: Clear pale amber
SMELL: Fresh hay, sweet, biscuity, citric oil, clean
TASTE: Smooth, dry grain, hop oil, clean, crackers, citrus, spice

Appearance: 1 inch head, gold in color, clear, high carbonation
Smell: honey and grass
Taste: sweet grass, honey, sugar, and hops at the end
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and carbonation, very sweet witha bit of a bitter aftertaste.
Overall: Another good lawnmower beer. Kinda what a Bud should be. I could have several on a hot day. Very good for a style I do not typically love. Take off about .5 in each if I was not trying to grade this to style.

Reviewed this one back in June, and I liked it better then. This is my updated review.
Pours a clean yellow-amber, with a modest foam and delicate lace.
Malty sweet on the nose, kinda corny, even. Not a great start.
The taste is sweet, with a caramel-honey vibe. There's no complexity whatsoever here, and I found this one-dimensional, off-balance, and needing to be fine-tuned. No, thanks.!

Alexander Keith's Nova Scotia Style Lager
$1.69 @ Total Wine & More, Claymont, DE
I'm not sure what to make of this "Nova Scotia-style" lager. It's got a fairly deep amber colored body and a creamy white head. It smells of lightly sweet and grainy malt but I don't find any hops. In the mouth it's medium to light bodied, and it's gently crisp with a median, fine-bubbled carbonation that gently tingles the tongue. The flavor is as the nose suggests with sweetish malt dominating, and I'm finding what appears to be yeasty fruitiness like apple, and just a minor amount of leafy hops in the finish. It's not very bitter, and what's there is just enough to balance the malt sweetness. On the upside, it's at least got some malt character to it. It's drinkable enough in that it's easily accessible, and probably more "balanced" when very cold, but it just doesn't have enough character to keep me interested.

2.58/5 rDev -16.2%
Pours a clear toasted straw color with a wispy white head that quickly settles into a sparse cap.
The aroma is a mixture of sweet grains and a buttery caramel. Perhaps some toffee. It is also a tad vegetal. Not very pleasant aroma, too sweet.
The taste is also grainy and a touch vegetal. The is some caramel sweetness but not as buttery as in the aroma. Very very very light grassy hop presence to offset the sweet malt. Has a mineral water flavor to it.
The feel is watery with spritzy carbonation. Drinks fairly easy when cold. The brew finishes with a grainy sweetness.
Not a very flavorful pale lager, has an odd sweetness to it.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a rich golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of grains, some malts. Taste is crisp, a bit sweet, some grains and malts.Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall this is an easy drinking and good quality lager.

From bottle no. 11096-BG-43. Sampled on April 28, 2011. It pours copper-orange with a thin, short lasting head. There are plenty of caramel malts and sugars in the aroma. The body is fairly light but not watered down. There's a sweet bitterness that kicks in on the first sip but it tends to end mildly hopped. Drinkable enough but nothing that stands out above others in its class.

Clear amber colored beer with a small white colored head.
Smells really malty with a lot of caramel and scorched sugar in it. Soapy and grassy hop scent, but mostly this smells really Malty for a lager.
The taste starts out malty but not as sweet as the smell might suggest. Malt and mild sweetness Hop level is low. Not much bitterness to speak of.
Mouthfeel is average.
Drinkability is OK. There just isn't a lot going on here with this beer, it's a little better than Budweiser.

Appearance - Perfectly clear, pale orange color with decent 1 finger head that holds retention nice. Lots of active carbonation rising from the depths.
Smell - Bready, hearty smell.
Taste - A very ho-hum lager with very little flavor. Super-easy to drink though and its actually has nothing negative in the flavor. Slight crispness to finish like you would find in a pilsner but also a little dry in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Ok moutfeel, but slightly fizzy in the mouth.
Overall - I'm fine with this beer in that it has no negatives in reality. However it really offers nothing to really excite one to buy this craft lager over hundreds of other option. Completely unadventurous in the brewing process. If I wanted something this plain, I'd just buy an easy to find Yuengling or Rolling Rock and not go out of my way to find this one.

A- Pours into a pint glass with a light golden amber body. Creamy white head forms to about a finger in size, good retention. A good pillow remains leaving nice spotty lace patterns.
S- Mostly just cereal grains and a light fruit sweetness. A slight metallic note.
T- Yeast bread, general grain flavor, light malt sweetness and a bit of fruit flavor are the main flavors here. Basal level of hops for the sake of balancing, grassy and floral.
MF- A bit of a foamy creamy feel to a light body with high carbonation. Finishes slightly bitter.
Nothing to complain about, a tad land with time but it doesn't fall off of a cliff or become off-putting.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep gold color, with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma light caramelized malts, grain and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out bready with flavors of grain and lager yeast, followed by a mild sweetness from a hearty but not too heavy malt character. The hops presence is very mild and but brings some balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and a little crisp, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
D: A little flavorful, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a decent mild beer worth pounding for a while.

3.78/5 rDev +22.7%
Pours a clean dark colored amber, 1 finger cap of white semi-firm head, gone quickly. Scent is mild, but as the color dictates, has some notes of caramel sweetness along with a brush of leafy hops. Taste is quite clean, lightly sweet caramel, a touch of bready malt, faint nuttiness and only slight bitterness from leafy hops. Lacks the vegetal qualities of many American pale lagers and lacks the influence of minerally water or the sulfury qualities found in many Euro versions. Lighter side of medium bodied, smooth and clean on the palate. Refreshing lager that is a clear step up from the domestic macro's and many typical euro macros.

A bottle a day keeps The CANQuest (TM) at bay, or at least in a temporary holding pattern. I was scoring one of local bottle shops the other day and found this and one of its brethren available singly, rather than having to commit to a sixer or a case. I have to be honest - when I think of Nova Scotia, beer is not the first thing to come to mind. Salmon, probably. Onward!
My pour created two foamy fingers of tawny head that initially fizzled and popped to such an extent that I thought that it would be short-lived, but it settled down nicely. Color was a deep amber with NE-quality clarity. BUPGOO! Nose was biscuity and underlain with a mild grassiness. Mouthfeel was unexpectedly full for the style and a nice surprise. It was quite malty in the mouth with little to speak for it in terms of hops. Finish was semi-dry with a pleasant light maltiness. It was nothing earth-shattering, but it was not bad, either. It just seemed kind of pedestrian as a whole.

Got this at a Giant Eagle of all places. Not a bad lager at all. It's not listed on their website anymore. Maybe just a one off or something?
Smells of corn and light malt. A good bit of citrus too. Some herbal hops too.
Tastes pretty good. Slightly sweet from malt, maybe a hint of caramel. Citrus too. Carbonation is crisp, with just enough bitterness to help balance things a little.
Not bad.

2.93/5 rDev -4.9%
A: The pour is a surprisingly amber color for a "pale lager". Very minimal head formation, just a bit of white foam.
S: All cereal/grain on the nose. Some light caramel and toffee notes with a lot of toasted grain and a bit of yeast to it. Very minimal hop notes. Pretty sweet and malty, which isn't awful, I suppose.
T: The flavor doesn't quite match with the aroma. It's dominated by apple ester flavors and yeast with some sweet grain on it. Grass and straw are prominent and the beer is slightly watery on the finish.
M: Light to medium in body with a medium level of carbonation.
O: Bland, uninteresting, and overall just very "meh.

Poured on-tap into a pint glass, the beer is a pale peach color with lots of bubbling and a dense, thin off-white head. Roast toasty cereal smells, but very light. Good, clean, crisp flavors, with a toasted bread flavor and slight floral highlights. Slight musty aftertaste, with a smooth, clean finish.

I had this one a craft beer tasting at my store. Poured a nice burnt honey color but it was in a small tasting cup so I didn;t get the desired appearance. The smell was inviting with mild hops and a crisp malt backbone. The taste was surprisingly refreshing. A flood of biscuity malt hit my tastebuds, which took me by surprise. It reminded me more of an English pale than an American lager. The biscuit ebbed to a flash of buttery malt and fine hop balance. I was happy with the drinkability of this one.

Christopher Eanes | Artistic Director
Christopher Eanes is a conductor and teacher living and working in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he is the Managing Artistic Director of the Cincinnati Boychoir, the Artistic Director of Collegium Cincinnati, and the co-founder (with his wife, KellyAnn Nelson) of the Young Professionals' Choral Collective. Chris' passion lies in finding new ways to connect young people with musical experiences, and he has done this through various media, including choral, orchestral, and chamber music, opera, and as a private coach and teacher.
An avid collaborator, Chris has presented concerts in conjunction with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, the Taft Museum of Art, the Center for Holocaust & Humanity Education, and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Chris' work with the Cincinnati Boychoir was featured in Chorus America's Spotlight On Innovation (The Voice, Fall 2009) and the Cincinnati Enquirer (April 30 & December 10, 2010; July 11, 2012). An appearance with the Cincinnati May Festival in 2010 prompted Music Director James Conlon to write, "The Cincinnati Boychoir, under the direction of Christopher Eanes, is an outstanding cultural asset to Cincinnati's rich musical life."
Before moving to Cincinnati, Chris was an active musician in Los Angeles while pursuing his doctorate at the University of Southern California; between 2006 and 2009 he served as artistic director of the Chamber Opera of USC, chorus master and assistant conductor of the USC Thornton Opera, and as the conductor of the USC Thornton Apollo Men's Choir. Since 2005, Chris has spent his summers teaching chamber music to gifted high school musicians at the Hotchkiss Summer Portals program in Lakeville, CT. He has edited several of the works of Baldassare Galuppi, two of which will appear in print in 2013 from Tropp Music Publications.
Recent performances include an appearance on the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage in March 2011, Handel's Messiah in December 2011 with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra (one of the only performances in the United States to use a choir of boys and men), Britten's Saint Nicolas (Cincinnati Boychoir & Collegium Cincinnati), and an appearance as guest conductor of the 24-voice professional Vocal Arts Ensemble for their annual holiday concert "A Candlelit Christmas" (click here for the review). Recently, Chris was the co-recipient (with KellyAnn Nelson) of the Norma Peterson Award from the Over-The-Rhine Chamber of Commerce, and named as a member of the 2013 class of 'Forty Under 40' by the Cincinnati Business Journal.
KellyAnn Nelson, Director of Education & Outreach, has had the privilege of reaching motivated musicians in a variety of ways throughout her career.

Her article "Making Music with Your Youngest Singers" was published in the ACDA Choral Journal in September 2008.
KellyAnn enjoys working as both an artistic and administrative leader. As such, she has served as both the project manager and teaching artist for Linton Music's Peanut Butter & Jam Sessions in Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as the associate conductor and outreach manager for the Cincinnati Children's Choir. She also enjoyed serving in various board leadership capacities with the Michigan School Vocal Music Association. KellyAnn spends her summers as a conductor, teacher, and educational coordinator with programs such as Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Westminster Choir College's Vocal Institute, Cincinnati Boychoir's SongFest, Cincinnati Children's Choir's Summer Festival, and Princeton Day School's Music in Motion summer program.
Her interest in conducting choirs and managing choral programs started with her experience in the schools. She recently served as the Director of Middle School Choirs and General Music at Princeton Day School in Princeton, New Jersey, as well as the Associate Conductor of the Princeton Girlchoir, where she conducted the Quarter Notes training choir and the select PGC Ensemble. Ms. Nelson taught middle school and high school choral music in Michigan and Ohio for more than a decade and served as adjunct faculty at Western Michigan University, where she directed the nationally acclaimed vocal jazz ensemble Gold Company II.

Old Globe Props Master Seamus O'Bryan Killed in Hit-and-Run
The Old Globe released the following statement today after their props master Seamus O'Bryan was killed in a hit-and-run motorcycle crash earlier today, January 31, 2014. He was 32.
"On behalf of Barry Edelstein, artistic director and Michael Murphy, managing director of The Old Globe; and Christopher Ashley, artistic director and Michael Rosenberg, managing director of La Jolla Playhouse; we pay tribute to our friend and colleague, Seamus O'Bryan.
"It is with great sadness and a very heavy heart that we inform you that our dear friend and colleague, Seamus O'Bryan, 32 years old, was tragically killed in a hit and run accident just after midnight the evening of January 30 in North Park. Seamus was on his way home from an opening night at The Old Globe. He was the Stage and Properties Master for the production.
"Seamus began working for the Globe in January of 2011 and became the Stage and Properties Master of the White Theatre in January of 2013. He was smart, funny, dedicated and well-loved by those who knew him. His presence and friendship will be sorely missed by all at the Globe, but particularly backstage where he calmly and with great humor created theatre with actors, fellow crew-members and creative staff. An archery enthusiast, avid sailor, member of the Seaforth Sailing Club, and crew member on various tall ships, he especially enjoyed taking visiting artists sailing to enjoy San Diego's waters. He inspired us to enjoy each moment and to care for each other.
"O'Bryan was also an integral part of the La Jolla Playhouse production staff for nearly a decade. A remarkable artisan, Seamus had a hand in nearly every technical department at the Playhouse, from carpentry to props to wigs. His very first job at the Playhouse was on the running crew for Dracula in 2001 when he was just 19 years old. Since that time, he served on the production team for countless productions, including Zhivago, The Wiz, Memphis and Surf Report. His friends and colleagues at the Playhouse will remember Seamus as a true Renaissance man, who shared his indefatigable spirit, kindness and tremendous talents with everyone around him.
"Seamus was a great humanitarian, generously volunteering his time and energy for a number of different organizations. With Medinet Vanuatu /The M.A.R.C Project-(Medical Aid to Remote Communities), he worked on standardizing birthing practices severely affecting two local tribes, building women's clinic and water treatment facilities to improve their chances of survival; and served on a tall ship that assisted in transporting medical supplies to remote areas in Vanuatu. In 2010, he joined in earthquake relief work in Haiti, and has worked with Habitats for Humanity.
"A Phoenix native, he is survived by his father Bert O'Bryan, mother Marty O'Bryan, and two brothers. He was preceded in death by his older brother Gabriel O'Bryan. Seamus, known to his family as 'Raph' for his middle name Raphael, was the third of four children of a loving Spanish/Irish Catholic family.
"Seamus was reportedly riding his motorcycle east on University Avenue at approximately 12:39am when a car travelling west turned south onto Granada causing Seamus to hit the car. Seamus and his passenger, a friend from out of town, were taken to Mercy Hospital where Seamus passed away. His friend sustained non-fatal injuries. Police are still searching for the car, a light-colored 4-door Cadillac that did not stop at the scene. Police say the car has damage to the driver's side.
"The funeral services will be held in Phoenix at a date to be determined. There will be a Memorial Service to be held at the Globe as well. Details on both to follow.
"Condolences, which will be forwarded to Seamus' family, may be sent to:

The Colts will have to make many important decisions during the offseason. Perhaps no choice is as important as deciding the future at the quarterback position. If Manning is healthy, I believe that the best choice is to trade the #1 overall pick.
Peter King of Sports Illustrated has stated that the haul for the #1 pick would be in the neighborhood of 3 first round picks and two second round picks. Those picks would be more than enough to dramatically change the team.
This year, the Browns have 2 first round picks. They also have issues at the quarterback position. The following scenario assumes that the Colts trade the #1 overall pick to the Browns for 3 first round picks and two second round picks like Peter King said. The draft positions will change before the end of the season. This is not meant to be exact, but rather to give an idea of what the Colts could do.
Cleveland currently has the 5th, the Falcon's 25th pick, and their own 37th selection. The Colts have the 33rd pick.
This is how I could see the draft ending up:
5. Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
25. Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan St.
33. Mark Barron, S, Alabama
37. Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
This draft would give the Colts 50% turnover in the secondary, a new wide receiver for the offense, and a fresh piece to add to the defensive line.
In 2012, with a rookie QB, the Browns would most likely be drafting in the top 10. This means that in the 2013 NFL draft, the Colts would have 3 picks in the top 40 (the Browns 1st rounder, the Colts 1st rounder and the Browns 2nd rounder). The team could experience a similar makeover. If there is a QB that the team wants in 2013, they would have enough ammunition to trade up for him.
There are going to be people who say that you don't pass up on a franchise QB. I agree. However, there are great QBs in every draft. There are a few good ones coming out next year (Tyler Bray, Aaron Murray, Tyler Wilson, and Landry Jones if he decides to stay at Oklahoma). I don't believe that any QB prospect is worth the haul that Luck could bring. The Colts could essentially trade Luck for 5 picks in the top 40. That's incredible.
People point to the Broncos and Dolphins as teams that did not do a good job replacing their hall of fame quarterbacks. The Broncos didn't pick a first round QB until 2006 (Jay Culter). That's their fault. At the end of the John Elway era, the team should have drafted a QB. The Dolphins still haven't drafted a first round QB since Marino in 1984. They could have picked Matt Ryan in 2008, but decided on Jack Long instead.
The Colts need to draft a quarterback in the first round before the Manning era is over. If this is Manning's last year or he only has one more year left, then the team should keep the pick and draft Luck. However, if Manning is healthy, they should wait one or two years before taking a QB that high.

When one utters the name Keenan Allen among college and pro football circles, what usually comes to mind is a top-flight pass catcher who has been the brightest spot for a California program who that has seen better days having relieved their head football coach of his duties on Tuesday.
It's easy to see why, the 205 receptions and 2,570 yards piled up through air not only make him arguably one of the most decorated receivers in California Bear history, but also makes him a near lock for the first round in next Aprils NFL Draft.
Though Allen possesses many of the traits found in top wide receiver draft picks in years past, it is his intangibles that truly give him a unique skill set that deserves top 15 consideration.
The job of a number one wide receiver on the pro football level is typically to control the perimeter of the field offensively. He must routinely be able to make plays outside of the numbers and preferably command the attention of two pass defenders often. At 6'3 and 205 pounds, Allen has great size and length for the position. He is extremely agile and sudden for a player his size which makes him dangerous after the catch where he runs creatively, instinctively, and aggressively. He finishes runs the way you'd expect your running backs to. We don't see that material of cloth much anymore from wide receivers these days. Maybe Anquan Boldin of the Baltimore Ravens, but there are few. This speaks to his competitiveness and aggressive style of play, where he has shown the ability to out battle defensive backs for the football in the air and expose himself to punishment running routes over the middle of the field.
He has the flexibility to move around the formation, being effective in both the slot and on the outside. As a return specialist, Allen fields balls cleanly and returns bravely displaying the same open field running abilities that make him dangerous after the catch. However, what few realize is that Allen possesses traits that rarely get evaluated when projecting a wide receiver.
He can pass the football and has completed each of his attempts with one touchdown to his credit during his college career. He offers offensive coordinators the ability to pull out there gadget playbook and use him the way the Steelers and Redskins used Antwan Randle El, a threat to run, pass, or catch.
As a high school senior, he was the nations top rated safety where he registered 145 tackles for a young Northern Guilford program led by a head coach who believes in his players being capable of handling multiple roles for his football team. Alabama head football coach Nick Saban was ready to make reservations for Allen in his defensive secondary even. Think he can cover a kick? How about mimicking what Julian Edleman does for the Patriots when he vacates his normal wide receiver position to help out in the secondary? I'm not saying that you'd want to use your number one guy in this manner, but should we disregard the added value? Keenan Allen is not just a receiver; this is versatile football player who has great work ethic, sound football IQ, and outstanding character.
As Allen enters an off-season where he is expected to forgo his final year of eligibility and enter next Aprils NFL Draft, there are questions marks that surround his health. He missed the final 3 contests this year after suffering an apparent PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) strain while covering an onside kick where he fell on a bent knee. This is an injury characteristically seen in car accidents when a passengers "bent knees" collide into the glove compartment abruptly forcing their shin backwards on impact while their momentum is moving forward. Try jumping up as high as you can in the air and falling completely on a knee that is bent at 90 degrees. This is a variation of what could have happened to Kenan on that mysterious play. These type of injuries can take anywhere from couple of weeks to a couple of months to fully recover with most not warranting any surgical attention. I've had one myself.
All signs point to Allen being able to recover in enough time to fine tune the weakest areas of his game and confirm a clean bill of health at next February's NFL Combine.
The 20-year old underclassmen needs to prove that he can become more comfortable catching the ball away from his body. He tends to let too many footballs get into his chest leaving windows of error for ricochet interceptions and dropped balls. He must show that he can expand his route running tree to include the more intricate routes that he wasn't asked to run at Cal while also addressing the whispers of only good, not great foot speed. Though he is a proven "playmaker", he will need to run in the low 4.5's or high 4.4's to maintain his spot atop the 2013 wide receiver draft class.
Keenan Allen is blessed with a bevy of tools that should have great impact as he projects to the next level. He is a developing and elite talent who has a ways to go in regards to reaching his ceiling. He can run, catch, throw, and return for your football team. If he can regain the health that saw him dominate the opposition at the collegiate level and evaluators are able to properly access his intangible attributes, look for those things to be the added dimension needed to solidify Allen as the 2013 NFL Drafts top wide receiver.

Joe Scarborough Rips E.J. Dionne: 'He Changes Every Couple of Years Depending on Who's in the White House'
For the second time this month, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough has taken on the extreme liberal bias of Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne.
On Thursday's "Morning Joe," after Mika Brzezinski read part of Dionne's pathetic "Why Conservatives Hate Warren Buffett," her co-host replied, "I like E.J., but he changes every couple of years depending on who's in the White House" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
[Dedicated Newsbusters readers! We are up to $2940 of our goal to raise $5000. Help us continue to expose and defeat the insidious bias of the liberal media. Show your appreciation for NewsBusters and get "I Don't Believe the Liberal Media" buttons and bumper stickers, or a Chris Matthews floormat, as our thank you. Donate now!]
MIKA BRZEZINSKI, CO-HOST: Okay, so time now for the must-read opinion pages. "Why Conservatives Hate Warren Buffett." This is in the Washington Post by E.J. Dionne. And he writes in part this:
Maybe only a really, really rich guy can credibly make the case for why the wealthy should be asked to pay more in taxes. You can't accuse a big capitalist of "class warfare." That's why the right wing despises Warren Buffett and is trying so hard to shut him up.
Militant conservatives are effective because they are absolutely shameless. Many of the same people who think the rich should be free to spend unlimited sums influencing our politics without having to disclose anything are now asking Buffett to make his tax returns public. I guess if you're indifferent to consistency, you have a lot of freedom of action.
JOE SCARBOROUGH, HOST: Speaking of being indifferent to consistency, E.J. Dionne, go back and see his columns when George Bush was president and Barack Obama was president. There you will find one of the most inconsistent columnists. I like E.J., but he changes every couple of years depending on who's in the White House.
But on this Warren Buffett, we don't hate Warren Buffett. I like Warren Buffett. We've interviewed him. I love his story. He's living in that same house since 1963.
BRZEZINSKI: He's got a good message.
SCARBOROUGH: He was slow and steady as they go when the tech world was booming. He kept his head down, and he kept getting three, four percent. I like Warren Buffett a lot.
BRZEZINSKI: Ask Pat. Do they hate him?
SCARBOROUGH: I like him a lot. But I've been very critical of him because you will get millionaires and billionaires going on going, "Mr. President, I'll pay more taxes." Well, no, first of all, nobody's stopping them from paying more taxes.
BRZEZINSKI: Please do.
SCARBOROUGH: And secondly, they have a fleet. And it's fine, it's their right. They have a fleet of lawyers and accountants and trust attorneys working around the clock to shelter their income so they don't have to pay taxes, which is fine. That is your right as an American, but if you're going to work and your people are going to work around the clock to not pay taxes, please, don't come out at the same time going, "Hey, I, raise my taxes." Knowing Pat Buchanan cynically, that even if they raise the top rate to 39.6 percent, Warren Buffett will still be paying eight percent tax, eighteen percent of his income in taxes, while people who make far, far, far less than him will be the ones stuck holding the tab.
PAT BUCHANAN: You know, it's, I tend to think he's a bit of a hot dog, Joe. You know, "I really want to pay more taxes. My secretary pays more than I do." Why doesn't he pay her taxes…
BRZEZINSKI: That's what I was thinking.
BUCHANAN: …and why doesn't he tell, I mean, himself, why doesn't he pay at the rate he could pay? Pay at 35 percent.
SCARBOROUGH: I was going to say, Pat, just pay 35 percent.
BUCHANAN: Exactly.
SCARBOROUGH: If you think the Bush tax cuts are immoral and too low, then instead of paying eighteen percent of your taxes…
BUCHANAN: Sure.
SCARBOROUGH: …pay 35 percent of your taxes.

Warren Buffett is a hypocrite
Submitted by ohio granny on Thu, 09/29/2011 - 1:04pm.
Warren Buffett is a hypocrite just like 95 percent of democrats. At the same time he is saying his secretary pays a higher rate of federal income tax than he does, his company, Berkshire Hathaway, is fighting the IRS over back taxes.
He has also set his estate up so that they bulk of his money will go to Bill Gates' charity "because they can better spend the money". Now how hypocritical is that?
He can, just like any one who chooses to, always send in more money to the IRS. They never refuse to cash a check.
He is another example, among many, of democrats who are hypocrites..

Top dog Peaches celebrates Crufts success
12:00pm Friday 15th March 2013 in News
A LITTLE dog has made her owners very proud by winning the prestigious title of best in breed at Crufts.
Peaches, owned by Valerie Phillips of Clacton, saw off scores of other wire-haired dachsunds to scoop the coverted title.
After winning her own open class she went on to beat the other top dogs in her breed - that meant being crowned the winner out of 103 dogs at the competition.
Peaches then went through to try her luck in the best of hound group where she rubbed shoulders with Jilly, a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, who went on to win this year's best in show.
"This is the first time I have won best of breed at Crufts, it's wonderful to pick it up," Valerie said.

Lovely but runs really small
September 16, 2013
Have been searching for a while for a coat with style that was also weatherproof (not a fan of the puffer/sleeping-bag look...). This coat looks great and seems like it would do well in snow and cold but it runs really small. I am a size 8 (sometimes 6) and got the medium. I couldn't even get it up on my shoulders! Sadly returned.
Well made coat
October 18, 2013
I am a small but due to broad shoulders and longer arms, feel more comfortable in mediums. I purchased the large because of the reviews indicating this coat runs small. I am glad I did! It fits well in the arms and shoulders and I know the medium would have been too tight. Only draw back is that it is big everywhere else. But when it is freezing out I will probably be glad I have some room. Workmanship is very good. Buttons are reinforced and pockets are deep enough to actually use. It feels well made and I am very happy I have it.Pros: Build quality, Cons: tough to get perfect size

'Sex-packed' Bebo!
Move over Posh, to the back of the class Moss, Bebo is here with a new body and that not just men but even women are dreaming of.
Bollywood's six pack brigade of Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan is being given a run for its washboard abs by the 'sex-packed' Kareena Kapoor.
Whatever the Bootylicious Bebo did by way of body sculpting, seems to be working big time for Bollywood's Heroine No 1. Kareena herself is kicked by her new avatar. "This is my look for Yash Chopra's Tashan. I have really worked hard on my body. So when people say it's a result of starving, I feel terrible. I am a Kapoor, I just love food, but zipping my mouth on the wrong food worked. Turning vegetarian also helped. I am into salads, now, and have discovered various ways of making them," said the actress explaining her waif-thin look in the film.
Her size zero international figure, Kareena revealed, was the result of yoga under the instruction of Payal Gidwani. Kareena practices yoga twice a day, an hour in the morning and one in the evening, and keeps a diet of six to eight mini meals of the simplest, most nutritious foods.
"This is Artistic Yoga, a more vigorous and dynamic form of the Indian science, it has been remodified for today's youth," revealed Kareena. Payal admitted getting the actress to this size was a huge task. "When she started, she weighed 60 kg and found it difficult to lift even a leg. She could not do ten surya namaskars. Now she's down to 49 kg and can do 100 surya namaskars at a go. It's only her dedication and will power that has given her the desirable body she has always wanted," the yoga instructor added.
Her workout has not just reinvented Kareena for the big screen, but its meditation has also repackaged her and made her a calmer and more focussed person in personal life. But that only Saif Ali Khan can vouch for. And the Chhote Nawab, who is on his own fitness trip, is not talking!
