Today's David Bowie's 66th birthday(!), and he's got a birthday gift for all of us. This is not the usual flow of birthday gifting, but as they say, you do not look a gift David Bowie in the mouth: It is 1/8/13, and the artist formerly known as Stardust is releasing a dramatic new ballad, and its video, and news of a full-length due in March. The record's called The Next Day, a 14-track effort recorded in NYC and produced by longtime Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti. The fact that Visconti worked on Bowie's Berlin trilogy (Low, "Heroes", Lodger ) seems relevant to "Where Are We Now?" and its video, which is littered with lyrical references to the city, and footage "of the auto repair shop beneath the apartment he lived in along with stark images of the city at the time." Visconti was also the producer who helmed Bowie's last few records, 2002′s Heathen and 2003′s Reality, so it's as much a throwback to a classic era as it is picking up where he left off. This is David's first record in 10 years, and his 30th record overall. It's OK to celebrate.
You can watch the Tony Oursler-directed video in its siamese-dreamy, fourth-wall breaking weirdness at the newly renovated davidbowie.com, or below. Shoutout Nürnberger Strasse.

Worst David Bowie song > best Iceage song
Whatever, Damian from Fucked Up basically just tweeted out the same thing, so I'm in good company:
I'm a fan & all but we are talking about a new Bowie record in 2013. It's not like it's a follow up to TRAFOZSATSFM in '73. #MayHaveEDMParts— Damian Abraham (@leftfordamian) January 8, 2013
Oh really? Good luck to you to sit through Never Let Me Down. Also these acts are too different musically to compare.

Thank You for reminding me about the Iceage song. I had forgotten about it because of the David Bowie news at midnight (see below).
So good! New Iceage (with Mordecai!) and new David Bowie.
2013, I think we're done here.

I should say that I'm not a fan of his post-Scary Monsters work (Let's Dance and all the 90s and 00s stuff). I guess this song is stylistically from Bowie 3.0 (1.0 is his pop classics and 2.0 is from Statio nto Station to Scary Monsters) and you should like those record to get into this song but…
You can accuse me in another deliberate downvote train-trolling post but seriously. this is so awful and dull. Look at this cringeworthy CGI video, and that album cover? REALLY? White square over Heroes – this is maybe the stupidiest thing ever… or maybe not. Still looks like uninspired cash-in. If you seriously was so desperate to get into BBC Radio 2 hot rotation again, you could just release some cheesy xmas single, David… If ever a man needed to get back ON drugs, it's David Bowie.
I don't think it's fair to lump the albums from Black Tie White Noise on with the '80s stuff. The '90s/'00s albums certainly aren't on the level of his '70s albums but there's some really good stuff on them.
I fuck with Jump They Say.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see
ugh I hate it when people use that phrase…
I fux wit "I fuck with"
I kinda enjoy Let's Dance. It's fun, and "Modern Love" and "Cat People" are solid tracks, even if they don't reach the levels of "Sound and Vision" or "Starman."
You obviously missed 'Heathen' in '02. His best since 'Scary Monsters'.
Best news. ever.
His voice is going. Got a nice appeal though, sort of like Joni Mitchell's scratchy voice now.
Right in time for festival season. God, please Sasquatch, get him on board to headline or more importantly close the festival.
Didn't the Guardian UK's article regarding the news have a statement from Bowie's camp that he had no plans to tour around this release? I'm not sure if that is all-inclusive to no live shows whatsoever, but I took it as that.
Hi RJC – what do you make episodes for??
Alt porn, duh. The guys on the set call him "Raptor" and once he's finish, he has the ladies calling him "Jesus."
So wait. That's really the cover?
I'm trying to figure out what they're counting in the discography to make this the 30th studio recording? Even with Tin Machine & the soundtrack albums it's not adding up for me.
yeah i counted this is 26 actually
I actually liked that song – but I'm also extremely sensible for older men tearing out their feelings (and all those fake strings… damn they sound great!)

It's good to see there's some people out there with the balls to admit how awful this song and video are.
Know what song I had forgotten about until just now?
"I'm Deranged" from the Lost Highway soundtrack
Oh hell yes.
Lost Highway had one of the best soundtracks.
seriously dude, "The Perfect Drug", Marilyn Manson doing "I Put a Spell on You", Smashing Pumpkins' "Eye", LOU REED COVERING "THIS MAGIC MOMENT" (?!)
so damn good
Bowie at Coachella?
I think more album covers should look like this.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see
No, it's ugly as hell. I read another article on the Guardian today where they think that this is amazging piece of art, straightforward thing, something subtle and so on. Bowie spokesperson said they developed some new kind of shit that will be unveiled lately… What a piece of B O L L O C KS. Arty pretentiousness at its worst.
This cover is not good. It's ugly and disgusting. This font is Helvetica. Shut up.
Not sure what font it is but it's not Helvetica.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see
Yeah, I meant to say 'kind of font'.. h ttp://virusfonts.com/news/2013/01/david-bowie-the-next-day-that-album-cover-design/
But still incredibly bad. Hard-Fi levels of pseudo-cleverness (look up their 2007 album cover). Except this is DAVID FUCKIN' BOWIE. Let's face it, this whole thing is going to be a disaster.
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean.
I can't believe people aren't realizing the reason for the cover. "We can be Heroes for just one day" then this album is called The Next Day. There's some kind of thematic link, obviously.

Leave York alone please
Posted on 10:01am Saturday 4th May 2013
Leave York Alone Please! I loved Richard Catton's article "Cars are here to stay, Mr Merrett" in The Press on Friday 3rd May. He makes a clear argument against spending £170,000 on an idiotic (my word) experiment to solve traffic problems by closing Lendal Bridge to private cars between 10:30 and 17:00.

More welfare cuts will not reduce people's dependency on the state
Posted on 1:03pm Tuesday 9th October 2012
Cutting benefits for groups who receive little public sympathy may make for a good Conference speech, but it risks increasing poverty and hardship. And unless there is a follow up 'master plan' for creating more and better jobs, massively increasing access to them and sorting out the housing crisis it's not likely to do as much as those advocating further cuts are hoping to reduce the deficit or people's dependency on the state.

They are not content with the honour and the pride of being trusted with the taxes for the well being of all the peoples who generate that wealth.

Posted on 2:40pm Thursday 11th November 2010
The benefits system is too complicated and encourages it's use as an option for work. Many with established wealth, and top earnings, see legal tax avoidance (by which law?) and fiddling from the public purse as options. Both devalue the pride and genuine satisfaction of honest work.

Carson Valley Historic Ranch Tour with Lunch at JT Restaurant
Welcome to the tour of historic Carson Valley ranches — some working and some preserved.
Curator Mark Jensen will prepare a special exhibit for our visit at the Dangberg Home Ranch. A collection of very significant family artifacts will be shown for the first time! Development of the water system in the central Carson Valley and the water wars with the Comstock will be covered. The production of ice before refrigeration and the significance of the other Home Ranch buildings will also be covered while half of our group tours the new exhibit in the home. Then the groups will switch places!
Bently Ranch is important as an efficient combination of many other pre-existing ranch properties. Today they are on the very cutting edge of agriculture in Carson Valley. All ranches, large and small, have to be sustainable to survive. Bently ranch is taking sustainability and adaptive reuse to an entirely new level! We will learn about their developing organic beef program and their upcoming farm to table program. Even more exciting is the field to distillery program which will feature a grain to liquor distillery in the old Minden Milling building. See how the fields are developed and the equipment used. Compare that to the historic practices and antique equipment.
Utilizing his almost 40 years of experience working with these families, Dr. Michael E. Fischer will lead the tours and facilitate the discussions. A lunch at the J&T Basque restaurant is included in the bus tour price. Humor, a better understanding of agriculture and a deep respect for the land are our goal. We will start at the Genoa Cemetery where parking will be available. Bus loading will begin at 8:30 AM and the bus will leave at 9:00 AM for full but fun-packed day!

Dangberg Home Ranch Tour
FREE to Cowboy Festival Day Pass holders
The Dangberg Home Ranch began in 1857 when German immigrant Heinrich Friedrich Dangberg started a new life in Nevada. He built a log cabin and cleared and irrigated the land. He also married, and the cabin grew into a large house as he and his wife, Maggie, raised five children. Dangberg prospered, and his success as a rancher, businessman and politician established the Dangbergs as one of the most influential families in Carson Valley history.
In 1902, the family founded the Dangberg Land and Livestock Co. and over the next few decades expanded their holdings to almost 50,000 acres supporting cattle and sheep production, along with vegetable crops and other products. In 1906, the family founded the town of Minden and there, in partnership with other ranchers, established several businesses focused on agriculture, banking and a hotel.
Today, the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park preserves this essential chapter in Nevada's history. Nevada's elite once passed through the doors of the Dangberg Home Ranch, and now you're invited to visit, too.
READ MORE about the Historic Dangberg Home Ranch on their website: DangbergHomeRanch.org
Cowboy Festival Day Pass holders are invited to visit the park for a guided tour beginning on the hour and the half hour between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 3rd and 4th. There are no extra ticket fees or bus rides to and from the ranch — you must provide your own transportation (approximately 7.5 miles from Genoa). Comfortable walking shoes and weather appropriate clothing are highly recommended.
Allow at least 75 minutes for your visit.

Genoa Cemetery Tour
The Genoa Cemetery Tour explores the history of Genoa through the grave makers of past residents, including one of our most famous residents, John 'Snowshoe' Thompson.
Some of the oldest graves in Carson Valley can be found in the Genoa Cemetery — men and women, fathers, mothers and children, who lived and died here since the founding of Genoa, site of the original Mormon Station built in 1850.
Genoa Cemetery contains many ancestors of currently living Genoa residents as well as beautiful grave stones and monuments to those who came before.
Kim Copél hosts the tour and relates haunting tales of love and loss for all to hear and learn.

Once a month, May through October plus a special event in December, people can purchase a special "Sweet Sippin' Sundays" glass, walk around town, stop at participating Genoa businesses and get "the drink of the month" and a sweet treat.
$12 gets you a Keepsake Glass ($10 for a returned glass) and a Sweet Sippin' Passport to sample a sweet and sip some spirits at each participating business. Live music, prizes, sweets and good spirits make the walk around Genoa a happy and pleasant experience.
The GGBA urges you to drink responsibly and designate a driver.
The event was very successful in 2013, and we look forward to doing it again in 2014.
We support local organizations and charities
Many local charitable organizations need our help, especially now. As a community organization striving to make things better for everyone, we felt it was necessary to bring attention to and support organizations in need of community funding. Below is a list of organizations we helped in 2013:
GGBA and Sweet Sippin' Sundays need Volunteers
If you would like to volunteer to help us set up and take down the tables, glasses and other items for the event, please contact us.
In December, the GGBA hosts a Christmas Sippers Special Event for the holidays. Check out our Facebook page for details and flyers for each of the events

The stage is set, the stakes are high and the expectations even higher as India take on England in the crucial 3rd ODI in the hometown of the Indian skipper, MS Dhoni. Rest assured, thousands would storm the stadium hours before the actual start of the match and there would be a similar number outside, just waiting to get a glimpse of Ranchi's and for that matter Jharkhand's favourite son - Mahendra Singh Dhoni. His pictures - of all shapes and sizes, would be all over the hoardings leading in to the stadium. The atmosphere is expected to be electrifying with chants of 'Mahi, Mahi, Mahi...' bursting out from the roof of the stadium. With the series tied at 1-1, both the teams have everything to play for and establish supremacy in the 5 match ODI series. India Most of the Indian batsmen have looked impressive in the series thus far. India would look for a good start from their openers, Ajinkya Rahane and Gautam Gambhir as that would provide the base for their explosive middle order to launch an attack on the English bowlers. Virat Kohli is perhaps the only Indian batsman, who is playing way below his potential and ability and he would certainly look to make amends for that. Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh look in great touch and with Ravindra Jadeja producing a cameo in the previous match, the batting looks a class apart. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shami Ahmed have brought with them the energy and spark much required in the Indian bowling. Their ability to swing and seam the new ball would stand them in good stead. Ishant Sharma has been in rather indifferent form and might be replaced by Ashok Dinda. Ravindra Jadeja has been a revelation and along with R Ashwin and Yuvraj Singh would add variety to the spin department. England The visitors would want to erase the memories of the 2nd ODI. Alistair Cook and Ian Bell are a formidable opening pair as they displayed in the first ODI at Rajkot. Kevin Pietersen has shown us glimpses of his class and destructiveness and would be hoping to convert his starts into triple figures. India should be wary of the firepower in the English lower middle order with the likes of Eoin Morgan and Samit Patel well capable of turning a match on its head in a matter of overs. The bowling is a worry for England and looked rather flat, both at Rajkot and at Kochi. They would be particularly concerned about the number of runs they conceded in the death overs in the previous ODI. The fast bowlers have been poor and guilty of bowling a touch short. The spinners - James Tredwell and Samit Patel have been impressive with the former being the stand out bowler for the visitors thus far. Look out for: Virat Kohli has been a patch of the player he is and he would be desperate to prove a point or two and knowing his penchant for performing in crucial encounters, England need to be wary of this flamboyant Indian batsman. Teams: India: Probable 11 Ajinkya Rahane, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni(w/c), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashok Dinda, Shami Ahmed England: Probable 11 Alastair Cook(c), Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen, Joseph Root, Eoin Morgan, Craig Kieswetter(w), Samit Patel, Chris Woakes, James Tredwell, Steven Finn, Jade Dernbach England would have to bring out their 'A' game if they harbour any hopes of taking a lead in the series. It won't be easy. They would need to strike with the new ball and later on their spinners would have to restrict the talented Indian middle order. Still then, they would have to confront a man named MSD - on his home turf. It would be like taking on a Lion in Gir or a Tiger in Kanha. And to add to England's worries, there would be a Dhoni in each of the vociferous dozens of thousands present in the stadium.

Bell helps England to comfortable victoryEngland defeated India by 7 wickets with 16 balls to spare in the fifth and final ODI at Dharamsala. Ian Bell starred with the bat with a brilliant unbeaten 113 off 143 deliveries.
Raina expresses desire to bat up the orderSuresh Raina has expressed his desire to bat higher up in the Indian line-up in order to have the opportunity to face more overs which would enable him to showcase his full batting prowess and potential.
India set to scale new heightsIndia would want to end the series on a high as they take on England in the fifth and final ODI in the scenic locations of Dharamsala, which is all set to host its first ever international match. With the series having already been sealed by the hosts, a few changes are expected in both the sides for this dead rubber.
Raina, Rohit Sharma star as India clinch seriesThe Indians first restricted the visitors to 257 for seven and then overcame some anxious moments before overhauling the target with 15 balls to spare in a floodlit contest played in cold conditions at the PCA stadium.
We can turn things around: James TredwellI guess we are just going into the game trying to execute our skills as best as we can and if we do that and perform like we did in the first game, there is every chance we can turn them over: Tredwell.

DIY: Flower Halo
I have gotten so many comments about my flower halo from the Shark Night Pool Party that I decided to share my love of crafting with you so that you can make your own halo. Thanks to Audrey for inspiring me to make one of these! It is so easy and most likely your mom or grandma has some old silk flowers you can use. It's very inexpensive to make and a really fun thing to wear. Mine was extra large for the party because I knew I would be on the red carpet but I think a halo of small daisies or ferns could be really cute for friday night or school or a date. I love things that go on my head because my hair always lays very flat and this is a great way to cover up less than volumes hair.
Post a photo of your halo in the comments so I can see what my little crafters created! yayayaya!!!
c4lif0rni4This tutorial was way awesome!! Crafting = genius
Your flower halo puts mine to shame but I had a blast making it.
Hugs!Aug 31, 2011from the photo: #1- Supplies

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- House Republican Caucus Chairman Glen Casada has drawn his first primary opponent in a decade.
The Tennessean newspaper reports (http://tnne.ws/18WrmOK ) that Cherie Hammond, a member of the Williamson County school board, plans to challenge Casada next year.
Casada's responsibilities as the No. 3 Republican in the House include overseeing and supporting the races of all GOP nominees for the 99-member chamber in next year's elections.
Casada, who was first elected to the House in 2001, has not faced a primary challenge since the 2004 election. His campaign account had a balance of about $153,000 through the first half of the year.
Casada in 2010 made an bid for House speaker, but lost out to Rep. Beth Harwell, a Nashville Republican.

One of my favorite things about Hanukkah is the creativity that goes into the menorahs. You just don't get that with a Christmas tree, at least not to the same extent. Though the "8 Crazy Nights" are over, the memory and the Chanukah photos are still with us. Enjoy our favorite homemade menorahs from around the web. And yes, we did spell Hannukah in three different ways. This is allowed.
Not sure this is the most appetizing turkey… or technically even a menorah for that matter, but you gotta give them credit for creativity.
Hockey Menorah
Part of Plainview's annual homemade menorah contest, second-grader Jesse Singer combined a toy hock net with cardboard, checkers pieces, paper plates, chopsticks and aluminum foil.
Challah Menorah
Holla for a very carb-y challah Chanukah ! (via jewitup.com)
Menorah Tree
Perfect for those of us who celebrate Christnukka.
Fish head Menorah
Yeah, that's going to smell better as each night passes. (At least it's not gefilte fish.)
Lego Menorah
Now this is how you combine learning and playing. (via bnaihavurah.org) And while we're at it…
Who knew lego people were the chosen people?! (via biblebeltbalabusta.com)
Pez Menorah
A delicious classic.
Star Wars Menorah
This is my favorite, partially because this is my nephew, Jonathan. He was pretty upset when he found the toys and mom wouldn't let him play with them. Little did he know, she was going to make the
world's universe's most awesome menorah. (Disdads.com)

Historical Traveller Reviews of Europa Hotel
Excellent hospitalityfrom MethuselahIreland
Extreamly hospitablefrom A TripAdvisor Member
The Europa was an Excellent base in Florencefrom Declanthedog
Great Hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Wonderful blend of history and comfortfrom Joandarco
Hotel Europa is great!from A TripAdvisor Member
Loved the ambiance of the Hotel Europafrom ronlieb51
The owners do everything possible to make your stay a good one. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of all the major attractions in Florence. The owners will make reservations for you too see David by Michaleangelo and the Uffizi Galery.
The rooms are spacious, quiet and well-appointed. The staff is very friendly, which follows the owner's attitude to ensure the guests are comfortable. The morning breakfast is good.
The hotel itself is a very interesting architecture site as the building is 300 years old and once was a monastery. The dining room has one of the original ceiling frescoes, which is nice to see in the morning.
My family and I whole heartedly recommend the hotel.
A great place to stay in Florence!!from A TripAdvisor Member
The hotel has been recently updated and is clean and well-kept and attractive. From my room I could see the Duomo and the frescoe on the ceiling was 700 years old. It was charming and quiet. (I recommend asking for a room away from Via Cavour, as the major street can be noisy at night.)
Being a single lady traveler, I look for hotels that are clean, safe and reasonably priced. Hotel Europa is much more than that and exceeded my expectations in every way. I feel it's a real bargain.
The owners were so friendly and made me feel at home by greeting me by name each time I appeared. During my stay I used the free internet service frequently to plan my further travels and Gassim, the manager, was helpful with suggestions and advice when asked. He's a real gem.
I would highly recommend Hotel Europa in Florence and would certainly stay there again.
Hotel Europa Servesfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The continental breakfast was mediocre, with cereal, prepackaged bread, and orange juice. No fruit offered. The coffee was excellent, with several coffee options available.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
We would definitely go back.
Room nice, but hotel owner a bit uptightfrom RMoe
Our only real complaint was the hotel owner... he is from Nigeria and has run the hotel for many years (we learned from visiting with him). However, he always seemed to be slightly suspicious or at least a bit uptight. For instance, when we bought a bottle of water from other hotels, they would charge it to the room. Here, the owner wanted cash in hand right then. He also made us pay the bill for three nights after the second night. Perhaps he had people skip out after the last night stay without paying or something. We didn't care but it seemed that he was just a bit uptight and not overly trusting of people. The breakfast was ok but not near as good as we had in Rome or in Venice.
Our stay at the Hotel Europa was good but we'd probably find a different place if we return to Florence in the future.
Top Local Tips for Florence
Florence---great city for walking We loved being able to walk everywhere in Florence. It is small and offers so much in outdoor markets and museums. Be sure to get tickets for the Ufizzi before you go to avoid a very long wait--over an hour!
Wonderful food Go to La Pentola dell'Oro down Via di Mezzo. The chef has his own cookbook. There is nothing else down this road, but the dining room is down in a cellar with exposed bricks. The food was wonderful & very well-priced. The menu was in Italian but the waitress explained everything to us. The only people there were Italian, which is always a good sign! My wife was even given a little pair of earrings on leaving!
Beware of Taxi's and Restaurant rip offs in Italy We only had one problem with one Taxi in Florence, it was when he was taking us to the train station. He decided to charge us for each piece of lugguage in addition to our 5 minute journey. We didn't think to ask if there was going to be an *extra* charges. Also, the restaurants would over charge us and bring us items we didn't order. So keep your menu, and insist on them taking things back if you didn't order it, they didn't have a problem with doing it. For example, if we ordered one pizza they would bring 3. Or if we ordered one steak, they would bring two. Not sure why this consistently happened, but it did throughout Italy. No need to order a bottle of wine, as the house wines are typically very good.

Free Layla Ibrahim Issa! Stop Stoning in Sudan
From Avaaz:
Layla Ibrahim Issa is a 23-year old mother who was sentenced to death by stoning by the Mayo court in Khartoum, Sudan. We put out an action alert to support Layla earlier this month, and we extend our thanks to those of you who raised their voices; but Layla is still in prison with her 6-month old child.
The authorities have not yet responded to our demands to immediately repeal the verdict, and stop the planned execution.
We need to raise our voices even louder to have them both released!
Stoning is a horrendous form of torture, and Layla's sentence is a clear violation of the rights guaranteed to all Sudanese citizens by Sudan's constitution, as well as Sudan's voluntary commitments to human rights treaties. Holding Layla's child is a direct violation of Sudan's responsibilities under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Sudan has signed and ratified.
Around the world, governments, religious leaders and civil society are converging to denounce stoning as unacceptable. Let's add our voices to the global movement, so that stoning can never again be considered a legitimate form of punishment.
By signing this petition, you are directly supporting Sudanese women's rights activists and civil society who are campaigning for Layla's and her baby's release; for their fair treatment; and for an overhaul of the Sudan Criminal Code (1991) to repeal the article proscribing stoning as a punishment for consensual sexual relations outside of marriage.
thanks for ur prayers for Eswari.. I have signed the petition. Sharing it on FB and MASES blog.

Can amlodipine or Diovan cause pain in the joints or muscles?
- Q: Can amlodipine or Diovan cause pain in the joints or muscles?
- A: Norvasc (amlodipine) is a calcium channel blocker, and Diovan (valsartan) is an angiotensin receptor blocker, and both medications are used to reduce hypertension (high blood pressure). Diovan (valsartan) does list joint pain and back pain as side effects. Other common side effects include dizziness, headache, excessive tiredness, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Norvasc (amlodipine) does list swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs for side effects, as well as headache, upset stomach, stomach pain, dizziness or lightheadedness, drowsiness, excessive tiredness, and flushing. This is not a complete list of the side effects associated with Norvasc (amlodipine) and Diovan (valsartan). Patti Brown, PharmD

"Fairy tales do not give the child the idea of the evil or the ugly; that is in the child already because it is in the world already. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of evil.A story which depicts a fantastic sequence of events. Often, fairy tales include creatures from folklore such as goblins, witches, and dragons. Fairy tales usually take place "once upon a time", with few (if any) references to real people, places or events. Orally told fairy tales are told in extremely spare and laconic style. Even the fancy dresses the heroine wears to a ball are discussed briefly; "three dresses, one as golden as the sun, one as silvery as the moon, and one as bright as the stars" and the story goes on. Likewise, characters are defined by their actions. Even when motives are provided (which is only for human characters), they are short and simple: the heroine is out to find her fortune; the hero wants to marry the princess; the Wicked Stepmother is greedy and doesn't want her stepchild to have an inheritance, or envious of her beauty, or if she has a stepson, destroy his wife; the false hero wants to marry the princess; the king falls in love with the strange woman he meets in the woods because of her beauty. And motives may not be; in the Grimms' "The Twelve Dancing Princesses", we never find out why the princesses are going to the nightly dances, and indeed never discover whether they are doing so voluntarily or not. "Fairy tale" is often used in modern times to depict an idealized romance or ending, although many classic fairy tales are much darker than many people realize. Heroes may be the victims of such violence as having hands chopped off or eyes gouged out; at the end of the story, villains may be disposed of by such methods as having them wear red-hot shoes and dance until they die or putting them in a barrel lined with nails and having a horse drag it until they die. The spare style helps minimize the impact, as it can deal with the violence briefly and without gory detail, but even so many fairy tales have produced Nightmare Fuel. In some cases, this is intentional, to Scare 'Em Straight. Fairy tales are found in cultures all over the earth. Many tale types have wide-spread variants. However, only a tiny handful of them are widely known in modern culture. Consequently, when a writer goes to rewrite a fairy tale into Fractured Fairy Tale, with parody or subversion, it generally invokes one of that handful. For instance, the Fairy Godmother is a relatively rare figure in fairy tales, but having featured in "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty", is epidemic in the Fractured Fairy Tale. Even retellings that do not parody the fairy tales generally stick to the best known. We know that fairy tales are Older Than Dirt because clearly recognizable fairy tales turn up, occasionally, in written form as far back as there has been writing. The story of Jason and Medea is a form of "The girl helps the hero flee" like The White Dove; a whole cycle of Chivalric Romance are tales of "The girl without hands" like The One-Handed Girl. However, many of these are also clearly written in literary form, and the others may also be far removed from the orally told tales of their time. Nor were they distinguished from other types of story. Giambattista Basile's The Pentamerone in 1634 (or so) was the first collection to contain only what we would recognize as fairy tales, but heavily rewritten into a literary style. The Brothers Grimm were the first to even try to save the folk version, and all tales collected from the oral tradition post-date theirs. Fairy tales were originally intended for all ages, but for a long period of time, they were only written or presented as children's stories. Disney is rather famous for adapting fairy tales into movie musicals, often with changes to make them more light-hearted. Writers who seek to restore fairy tales to their original intensity may intensify it to the point of Grimmification. Very few fairy tales actually feature fairies; even those European countries with a developed fairy folklore preferred to use Talking Animals instead. The name of the genre can be traced to Madame d'Aulnoy's Les Contes de F�es, which appeared only after literary fairy tales became all the rage. Folklorists have made valiant attempts to give the category more accurate names, such as "wonder tale", or the Grimms' original term "household tale" or M�rchen, but the name sticks. "Folk tales" include them, but also other tales. Several extremely popular tales such as Perrault's "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty" did feature fairies, helping give weight to the name, while others like "Rumpelstiltskin" and "Kate Crackernuts" alluded to a more sinister kind of folkloric fairies. On the other hand, Perrault's "Cinderella" is an odd-ball; normally the Cinderella figure is helped by her dead mother, and "Sleeping Beauty" is as likely to be a victim of prophecy as a curse). Many, such as "Rapunzel", "Puss in Boots", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Snow White", contain no such figures. Some, like "The Emperor's New Clothes" contain no magic of any kind. See also Fairy Tale Tropes for a list of tropes common to fairy tales and Propp's Functions of Folktales. Not to be confused with the similarly-named manga Fairy Tail.
The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St George to kill the dragon."

Dear Friends,
It's been a busy week meeting great alums in Boston and New York. It also included a fantastic performance Jay and Sandy Mauchley – the Mauchley Duo – at the Lincoln Center. These international Steinway Artists and University of Idaho professors emeriti shared their talent with a house that included many appreciative Vandal alumni and friends.
Next week, I'll be back in Moscow where we will recognize many more of our gifted faculty and staff with annual awards. We'll also hold the grand opening of our Confucius Institute.
Though there's not room enough to share all of the honoree's names in this letter, I do want to congratulate them all. These fine men and women, and those they work with, are the heart and hands of our fine university. They deserve thanks from all of us.
One step we've made in recognizing outstanding individuals is the addition of two excellence awards -- the University Distinguished Professor rank and the Presidential Mid-Career Awards. The UDP rank is conferred upon faculty members who have national or international recognition and have brought distinction to the university through their teaching, research, and outreach activities. The mid-career awards recognize gifted faculty who early in their career have shown the potential to be of UDP stature in the future.
I'm proud to announce that on Monday we'll name our third class of University Distinguished Professors: Sanford Eigenbrode and Larry Forney. Sanford is an outstanding teacher and respected adviser with an international reputation as an entomologist. He's written and lectured extensively, and has captured more than $26 million in competitive research grants. This includes the largest single grant in the university's history.
Larry is also a world-renowned scientist and scholar whose expertise in microbial ecology has provided answers to a wide range of human health issues. He's also a prolific writer and diligent teacher, who'd had significant success in gaining competitive research funding. He's known for helping to grow the U-Idaho Institute for Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Studies into an interdisciplinary research center that benefits many. He's also been named a fellow in the American Academy of Microbiology.
Likewise my congratulations go to our second class of Mid-career Award honorees: Kenneth Cain, Stacey Camp, Barbara Cosens, Elizabeth Fortunato, Brian Johnson, Alexander Karasev, Allen Kitchel, Sanjay Sisodiya and Nancy Sprague. Their expertise spans many disciplines and includes exceptional teaching, extensive writing, and millions in research funding and business savings.
Another major event on Monday will be the official opening of a Confucius Institute on the Moscow campus. This center will provide culture, language, and history programs in partnership with the Chinese government. We're told this will be the last one funded anywhere on the globe. We see this program as a way to extend our abilities to prepare our students to engage in a globalized world, especially in the Pacific Rim.
Our faculty and staff make a difference. It's our investments in them that open the way for even greater gains with our students, our research, and our outreach. That's why we're committed to retaining our best and brightest through awards, opportunities, and special programs like endowed chairs. I encourage you to take a look at our efforts in the Inspiring Futures Campaign.
Geologists Help with Earthquake Hazard Preparedness in Blaine County. Geologists from the Idaho Geological Survey at the University of Idaho are working this month to identify areas in Blaine County that would be most affected in the event of a damaging earthquake. The results of the survey will inform county leaders and residents how to better prepare for seismic hazards. "Scientists from Idaho State University recently discovered new evidence for an active fault in the Sawtooth Range less than 30 miles from Ketchum," said William Phillips, IGS research geologist. "This fault could potentially produce earthquakes large enough to strongly shake the Sun Valley area. Our work is designed to identify areas in the Wood River Valley which are susceptible to amplification of shaking or ground liquefaction during an earthquake." Read more.

Vandal Alum Never Misses A Chance To Support Vandal Athletics. For Thomas M. '58 and Alice Hennessey, 2013 marks 30 consecutive years of supporting the University of Idaho Athletics. Tom, a retired businessman and cattleman, appreciates the role Vandal athletics has played in his family's life. Not only did his son, Thomas Nelson Hennessey '87, play football for the Vandals, but so have two of his grandsons, Jake and Thomas Blaine Hennessey. Their affinity for the football program led Tom and Alice to support the Quarterback Club since its inception in 2006. This helps provide summer session educational opportunities for student-athletes participating in football. The Hennesseys have also supported many other athletic priorities, including the Vandal Scholarship Fund, the Kibbie Dome Renovation and Expansion and the Vandal Athletic Center. In addition to their financial contributions, which span six decades, the Hennesseys have volunteered countless hours to the Ada County Vandal Boosters, including Tom's on-going role as the auctioneer for the annual VSF Gala. To learn how to join the Hennesseys in supporting Vandal Athletics, contact Joe Church at (208) 334-2087 or

For NTT DoCoMo, It's Evolve... Or ElsePRO • Stephen Simpson, CFA • Tue, May. 13
- NTT DoCoMo remains the market leader in Japan, and by a wide margin, but ARPU growth is getting harder and harder to find.
- New regulations could open up bundling possibilities with NTT, but higher switching costs for subs may not boost DoCoMo's profits all that much.
- DoCoMo isn't overpriced, but growth is likely to remain sluggish and OS developers like Apple and Google have taken away a lot of what once made the company different.

Fri, Apr. 25, 12:58 PM
- Japan's NTT DoCoMo (DCM +5.5%) is surging on news it will try to unload its 26% stake in India's Tata Teleservices, following five years of losses plagued by telecom license cancellations in a corruption probe and repeated delays in rolling out high-speed networks.
- Tata may be an attractive asset for a new entrant hoping to crack the Indian market or an existing large player looking to add market share, but some analysts say they are few potential buyers with the cash to strike a deal.
Fri, Jan. 3, 4:30 AM
- Vodafone (VOD) is in reportedly early discussions to acquire Tata Group's 59.45% stake in Tata Teleservices in a deal that would create India's largest telco with 248M subscribers.
- However, Japan's NTT DoCoMo (DCM), which owns just over a quarter Tata Teleservices, has a right of first refusal on the majority holding.
- Should Vodafone prevail, it would look to acquire all of Tata Teleservices, whose market cap is 16.28B rupees ($261M).
- Meanwhile, Vodafone Egypt has been accused of inciting terrorism by incorporating secret messages supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in an advertisement.
- Vodafone has denied the allegations, which Egyptian prosecutors are investigating amid an intensifying crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood by the military government that deposed it.
- The accusations add another headache for multinationals that operate in Egypt to go with political instability, security worries and economic uncertainty.
Dec. 3, 2013, 5:35 AM
- UBS upgrades Apple (AAPL) to Buy from Neutral, bumps target to $650 from $540
- "While Apple's stock has improved, institutional ownership has not recovered. It peaked at about 73% in April 2012 and has fallen to under 64%. Our sense speaking with investors is that many are now equal or underweight Apple relative to their benchmark, which could result in new money supporting the stock. Apple fits the value description and with potential double-digit EPS growth in F14 could show up again as a growth story."
- "We think one or more of the following could boost the stock in the next year: i) the gross margin should be flat to up with iPad margins stabilizing and warranty accruals less of an incremental; ii) the imminent support of China Mobile (CHL) along with NTT DoCoMo (DCM) could aid the seasonally weak summer quarters; iii) the hire of Angela Ahrendts may provide an inspirational face to the company; and iv) new products should begin to renew faith in innovation, including wearables and iBeacon."
- AAPL +1.1% premarket to $557.26
Sep. 16, 2013, 11:08 AM
- China Unicom (CHU +0.6%) says its iPhone 5S/5C (AAPL -2.6%) reservations have topped 100K since it began taking them last week. Last year, Unicom took 200K+ iPhone 5 reservations in the phone's first two days of availability.
- Meanwhile, China Telecom (CHA +2.5%) has cut its iPhone subsidies. A subscriber signing up for an RMB289/month ($47/month) plan will get an iPhone 5S subsidy of RMB2890, 15% less than the RMB3400 subsidy it provided for the iPhone 5. It's worth noting CHA's ARPU is below $10.
- The Chinese figures come amidst sharp criticism of the 5C's unsubsidized pricing, which starts at $735 in China. For reference, upstart Xiaomi's new Mi3 flagship Android phone (5" 1080p display, 13MP camera) starts at $327 in the Middle Kingdom.
- On the other hand, Japanese carriers are aggressively subsidizing the 5S in the wake of NTT DoCoMo's (DCM +0.7%) iPhone deal. DoCoMo, SoftBank (SFTBF.PK), and KDDI are each providing the 5S for free with 2-year contracts for certain plans.
- Kantar Japan recently estimated 2/3 of DoCoMo subs who have been leaving the carrier ended up buying an iPhone.
- Also: Bernstein thinks Apple could still come out with a cheaper iPhone in the form of a sub-$400 iPhone 4C that puts the iPhone 4's components inside a 5C body.
Sep. 10, 2013, 2:12 PM
- As expected, the iPhone 5S' (AAPL -0.9%) camera has dual LEDs (should improve color accuracy) and a larger (F2.2) aperture, the latter should help with low-light shots. It also has a bigger image sensor, though its resolution is unchanged at 8MP (Phil Schiller: "Bigger pixels make a better picture."). (live blog)
- Other new camera features: auto image stabilization, a 10fps burst mode, and a 120fps Slo-Mo video recording option. The camera improvement come as Nokia and Sony tout the high-end imaging capabilities of smartphones such as the Lumia 1020 and Xperia Z1.
- Also, the oft-rumored fingerprint sensor has been revealed. Called Touch ID, the sensor is embedded within a sapphire crystal home button (incremental positive for GTAT), and can be used to unlock the 5S, make iTunes purchases, and carry out other tasks within apps.
- Like the iPhone 5 (until now), 16-64GB 5S models will sell for a subsidized $199-$399. The iPhone 5 is being discontinued to make room for the 5C; the 4S will now be free with a contract.
- 5S/5C pre-orders start on Sep. 13. Sales begin in the U.S., Japan, China, and 6 other markets on Sep. 20. NTT DoCoMo (DCM +1.5%) will be among the Japanese carriers to sell the phones. 100 countries/270 carriers will be supported by December.
- 5S/5C sales should benefit from Apple's strong customer loyalty and the huge 4S sales recorded two years ago (many of those buyers are about to see their contracts expire). But will they be able to reel in many of the Android users who have come to love larger screens?
- More on Apple
Sep. 5, 2013, 2:25 PM
- The Japanese paper says DoCoMo (DCM +1.1%) is likely to announce a partnership with Apple (AAPL -0.8%) on the day of its iPhone launch. Apple has announced an iPhone satellite event will take place in Tokyo (along with ones in Beijing and Berlin) hours after its main Sep. 10 event in Cupertino.
- A DoCoMo EVP suggested last month a deal could be close. Previous talks between Apple and DoCoMo reportedly faltered due to Apple's purchase requirements and DoCoMo's insistence on pre-installing some of its apps.
- DoCoMo, by far Japan's largest carrier (60M+ subs, 1/4 of which are now using 4G phones), has been losing share to SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) and KDDI in large part due to its failure to carry the iPhone. Though DoCoMo's sub base is much smaller than China Mobile's 740M, a much larger portion of it can afford a $450+ (unsubsidized) phone.
- Japan is the iPhone's strongest major international market. Thanks largely to iPhone sales, Apple's Japanese revenue rose 27% Y/Y in FQ3 to $2.5B, even as revenue fell 14% in Greater China and 18% in the rest of Asia-Pac.
- Update: Bloomberg reports Apple is "near a final agreement" with DoCoMo, and that the carrier "may begin offering the iPhone later this year."
- Update 2: Reuters has joined the fray.
Aug. 26, 2013, 7:48 AM
- It may just all be about the timing at this point, according to NTT DoCoMo (DCM) senior EVP Kazuto Tsubouchi. "It would be difficult to start sales on the 10th," he tells Japan's Sankei Shimbun, referring to the date Apple (AAPL) is rumored to introduce the iPhone 5S, among other phones. "Docomo is ready but timing is the problem."
- It's not the first time a deal was believed to be near.
- DoCoMo shares rose 2.1% in Tokyo overnight.
Jul. 5, 2013, 2:53 PMApple (AAPL -0.9%) roundup: 1) In spite of the iPhone's growing Japanese sales, top local carrier NTT DoCoMo (DCM) continues to play hardball regarding an iPhone deal. Its stated reasons range from Apple's purchase requirements to a wish to pre-install its services. 2) A month after Google scooped up Waze, the USPTO has published an Apple patent application for a crowdsourced traffic/navigation service relying on route ratings and user reporting. 3) A couple of other patent applications: one for self-adjusting earbuds supporting noise cancellation, and one for flexible battery packs that could be used in an iWatch. | 2 Comments
Mar. 25, 2013, 2:17 PMNTT DoCoMo (DCM) is launching a China-specific version of its d-game mobile gaming service within China Mobile's (CHL) Mobile Market portal. 20 titles will be supported at launch time. The announcement comes 8 months after DoCoMo formed a mobile content JV with Chinese search kingpin Baidu. The Japanese carrier has a long history of striking mobile data services deals with foreign peers, with mixed results. | Comment!
Mar. 6, 2013, 9:13 AMFoxconn has begun production of an iPhone 5S (AAPL) that looks much like the iPhone 5, claims Japanese blog MacOtakara, which has a mixed track record (I, II) with iScoops. MacOtakara also reports NTT DoCoMo (DCM) has slashed Android phone orders for the fall, which is fueling speculation an iPhone deal is on the way. Jefferies' Peter Misek argued last month preparation for March iPhone 5S production could be responsible for new iPhone order cuts. Possible/likely suppliers: CRUS, OVTI, SWKS, TQNT, AVGO, QCOM, BRCM, NTE, MFLX, LPL. (yesterday) | 30 Comments
Jan. 29, 2013, 8:08 PMJapanese stocks move up again today, piggybacking gains for the broader U.S. market earlier today. The Nikkei Average is currently up 0.9% to 10,958, with Telecoms leading gains: Softbank (SFTBF.PK +2.8%), KDDI (KDDIY.PK +2.6%), NTT DoCoMo (DCM +0.8%) and Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NTT + 0.7%). Energy also trade higher: Japan Petroleum (JPTXF.PK +2.7%), and Inpex (IPXHY.PK +1.1%). | Comment!
Jan. 11, 2013, 12:06 PMIs Apple (AAPL -0.5%) finally close to scoring an iPhone deal with NTT DoCoMo (DCM)? The president of the top Japanese carrier, which has been bleeding share to iPhone-carrying SoftBank (SFTBF.PK) and KDDI, says his company is willing to sell the iPhone if it can reach a mutually beneficial deal. DoCoMo and Apple have reportedly been at odds in the past over Apple's purchase requirements and DoCoMo's insistence on pre-installing some of its apps. (China Mobile) | 10 Comments
Jan. 3, 2013, 1:51 PMSamsung (SSNLF.PK) confirms it will begin selling smartphones based on its Tizen OS this year. The phones will likely feature Intel (INTC) processors, given the chip giant's role in co-developing Tizen. Samsung is undoubtedly trying to lower its dependence on Android, but whether it succeeds depends on the willingness of consumers to embrace an OS that will initially have much less developer support. A Japanese paper previously reported NTT DoCoMo will sell Samsung's Tizen phones. | 6 Comments
Dec. 31, 2012, 10:17 AMSamsung (SSNLF.PK) is about to significantly expand its Silicon Valley ops: the electronics giant is building a 1.1M square foot sales and R&D center in San Jose, just a stone's throw away from Apple and Google, as well as opening other local facilities. Samsung has already made huge commitments for its Austin, TX facilities. Separately, the Daily Yomiuri reports Samsung will begin selling smartphones based on its Tizen OS (developed with Intel) to NTT DoCoMo (DCM) in 2013. | 1 Comment
Dec. 7, 2012, 11:24 AMSome Asian Apple (AAPL -1.8%) news: 1) The iPad Mini has launched to sparse crowds in China. The regular iPad controlled 71% of the Chinese tablet market in Q3, according to Analysys. 2) China Unicom (CHU) took over 200K iPhone 5 pre-orders in its first 2 days of availability. Unicom is fully subsidizing the phone to those who make a $947 deposit. 3) NTT DoCoMo (DCM) is facing more pressure to strike an iPhone deal (previous): the top Japanese carrier lost 40.8K subs in November to rivals SoftBank and KDDI. Apple's Japanese sales rose 113% Y/Y in FQ4. | 7 Comments
Nov. 19, 2012, 5:57 AMNokia Siemens Networks (NOK, SI) and Ballard Power (BLDP) are developing mobile-infrastructure equipment that uses fuel cell technology to ensure that networks keep operating during power blackouts. The product has been received statutory approval in Japan, and been evaluated by NTT Docomo (DCM). (PR) | Comment!

Signing Agents
The basic definition of a "Signing Agent" is a Notary Public who handles the execution and notarization of mortgage, refinancing and real estate transactions in the Commonwealth of PA. This designation of "Signing Agent" is now being used widely. And it varies from state to state and unfortunately from Notary to Notary. Our course is an in depth training program in these real estate documents and how they are executed. There are many organizations that do this. But not all are the same. They vary in education; training and most are not consistent with PA law.
An "Accredited Signing Agent" or ASA is a Notary Public extensively trained by PA Notary Academy to handle real estate closings. Our certification course focuses only on PA law and is the only one of its kind in PA. We teach a Notary Public what they can and can not do during these types of transactions.
ASA Training
This extensive program is done in a classroom setting at various locations around the state or online. This course will walk you through a "mock closing" and teach how to perform mortgage closings. It teaches the information you need to execute the documents within the Commonwealths' laws for Notaries Public. Title agents, settlement officers and ASAs are the main sources for this course. Their experience and success in the business make this the best and most comprehensive course available for PA Notaries. They are successful as "Signing Agents" and share that knowledge and experience with you, unlike educators who only teach the subject.
This course includes;
There are currently no live seminars scheduled in this county.
Live Seminars
Cancellations for our live seminars policy;
Our online courses meet the same high standard and contain the same information as our live seminars. You can take our courses anywhere there is a computer and an internet connection. They can be taken at your pace and we are always available to provide any information or help, by email or phone.
