Album review
In a 50-year recording career, Buddy Holly, who died last Christmas at the age of 74, influenced everyone from The Beatles to Bob Dylan, and worked with everyone from, well, The Beatles to Bob Dylan (he famously turned down Kanye West for "reasons of old age"). He leaves behind a legacy of more than 40 albums, all of which were both genre-defying and genre-defining. Inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame three times - as a solo artist, as one of The Crickets, and as a member of Holly, Diddy, Nash & Young - Buddy also made the headlines when he refused the chance to join the Traveling Wilburys, telling George Harrison, "That'll be the day...".
We wish. In real life Buddy Holly made just three albums and released hardly enough singles to fill out one side of a Greatest Hits collection. Those few songs alone - and the ones remixed, buffed up and orchestrafied after his death, at 23, in a plane crash - were enough to literally save rock music from its oncoming novelty death as everyone from, yes, The Beatles to Bob Dylan, along with The Rolling Stones and a quarry of other lesser acts, realised that you could be melodic, witty, and intelligent, and still rock like a burning caveman. We can't ever really know if Holly's early brilliance would have sustained a long career (although I will always continue to have a slight fantasy about Holly not joining the Traveling Wilburys), but it's reasonable to suppose that he would have continued to be a very major figure in popular music.
In the event what we have is literally this, 203 tracks which are apparently everything he ever recorded in a studio, or in several cases, an apartment. There are instrumentals here, there are early country and western numbers, there are fragments of conversation with his wife Maria Elena, there are tracks overdubbed for posthumous release from the 1960s and the 1980s, there are outtakes - goodness me, there are outtakes - but most of all, there are some of the most three-dimensional, living, enthusiasmic (it's a word now) songs in the history of popular music. These songs leap at you like jangling Labradors with their sheer joy in just existing. "That'll Be The Day", "Peggy Sue", "Maybe Baby", "Rocking With Ollie Vee", "Rave On"... songs that must have sounded like classic rock'n'roll the day they were released but also redefined what rock'n'roll was.
Yes, you can hear someone who loved Elvis Presley and Hank Williams in these songs (and you can also hear tons of what the best Beatles songs would be in these songs), but you also hear an authentic new voice, someone who took the sounds of Texas, of R'n'B, of country and everything on the radio and made his own music. Even the lyrics sound like nothing else - there's a brilliant self -confidence even in potentially soupy ballads like "True Love Ways", while the sheer shagdaftness of "Oh Boy!" proves that girls do make passes at boys who wear glasses.
The casual buyer - a phrase which always conjures up in Uncut terms someone who only buys two Lambchop albums a week and is wondering if they should get those Flaming Lips records where you need 10 CD players to play them - will point out that, musically, all of the above indicates that you and me and he and she should surely be perfectly well off with a decent Buddy Holly Greatest Hit s compilation. And I can only say yes to that: unlike other artists whose outtakes show massive leaps and experimentation before coming to a final, musically shattering, releasable conclusion, Holly tended to rework songs in not massively different ways and so the many, many outtakes of "Think It Over", "Have You Ever Been Lonely" and "Don't Come Back Knockin'" are very much for the completist. But if you want to hear, and maybe you should, everything recorded by the greatest popular songwriter never to have the career he deserved, this is very much the place.

Please give me some ideas as to what to do with this front yard. I'd like to liven it up a bit. I'm thinking of a retaining wall in front of the window.
This is in Long Island. Thanks, Shajan |

Follow-Up Postings:
Right off the bat, that big picture window on the first floor is asking for a long window box. I'm thinking bright red geraniums would look great. Then, fill a planter on the sidewalk, either on the left, where the curve starts, or on the right, against the garage, but not in both places. You could echo with the gereniums, but also add something for height (grasses), and cascade something. That would get you jumpstarted for not a lot of $$ or effort and would perk up your already cute house. You can refill them with mums in the fall, and plant some bulbs for next spring (or pansies). |
Thanks yourpal. I'm thinking of a small retaining wall(planter?) in front of the window area. Will that be too much? |
- Posted by kal2769 z7 NC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, May 23, 06 at 22:57
I don't think the retaining wall planter is necessary. I do like thw aformentioned window box. I would add a second coulmnar arborvitae or dwarf spruce on the right side of the large window to frame it nicely. I would buy a decorative urn and a spiral evergreen for the right side of the front door. Then I'd buy matching planters with decortive grasses and annual flowers for either side of the garage door. Good luck. ---Keith |
Thanks Kieth, I like the ideas. I'm going to research building a window box now. Never thought of it. I'm glad I posted here. |
You've got that lovely curving path leading to the front door that is just screaming to be planted. Bringing the plants out away from the house and around that curve will help draw the eye in to the yard. |

Definition. In English "blasphemy" denotes any utterance that insults God or Christ (or Allah, or Muhammed) and gives deeply felt offense to their followers. In several states in the United States and in Britain, blasphemy is a criminal offense, although there have been few prosecution in this century. In Islamic countries generally no distinction is made between blasphemy and heresy, so that any perceived rejection of the Prophet or his message, by Muslims or non-Muslims, is regarded as blasphemous.
The biblical concept is very different. There is no Hebrew word equivalent to the English "blasphemy, " and the Greek root blasphem- [blasfhmevw], which is used fifty-five times in the New Testament, has a wide meaning. In both Testaments the idea of blasphemy as something that offends the religious sensibilities of others is completely absent.
The Old Testament At least five different Hebrew verbs are translated "blaspheme" in English translations. Translators choose "blaspheme" when, for instance, the verbs "curse" (qalal [l;l'q]), "revile" (gadap [@;d"G]), or "despise" (herep) are used with God as the object. No special verb is reserved for cursing or insults directed at God.
However, to curse or insult God is an especially grave sin. It can be done by word or by deed. There is little distinction between the sinner who deliberately abuses the name of the Lord ( Le 24:10-16 ), and the one who deliberately flouts his commandments ( Nu 15:30-31 ). For both, the death penalty is prescribed. Similarly, the prayer of the Levites in Nehemiah 9 calls "awful blasphemies" all that Israelites did when they made the golden calf (9:18).
David's flagrant sin with Bathsheba may be called a blasphemy ( 2 Sa 12:14 ), but a more likely translation is that David has "made the enemies of the Lord show utter contempt" (NIV). Instead of testifying by lifestyle to the character of the Lord, David's action confirms the blasphemous belief of the nations that the Lord is no different from any other national god.
The New Testament. The Greek root blasphem- [blasfhmevw] can be used of strong insults thrown at other people ( Mark 15:29 ; Acts 13:45 ; Eph 4:31 ; 1 Peter 4:4 ), or even unjust accusations ( Rom 3:8 ), but it is more usually used of insults offered to God (e.g., Rev 13:6 ; 16:9 ). Jesus is accused of blasphemy for pronouncing forgiveness and for claiming a unique relationship with God ( Matt 26:65 ; Mark 2:7 ; John 10:33 ).
Jesus picks up the Numbers 15 passage about blasphemy in his famous saying about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit ( Matt 12:31-32 ; Mark 3:28-29 ; Luke 12:10 ). Numbers 15:22-31 distinguishes between unintentional sin committed in ignorance (for which forgiveness is possible), and defiant sin, called blasphemy, for which there is no forgiveness. Jesus teaches that the blasphemy for which there is no forgiveness is that against the Holy Spirit; all other blasphemies, particularly those against "the Son of Man, " may be forgiven. Insults thrown at "the Son of Man" may be forgiven because they are committed in ignorance of who he really is: his heavenly glory does not appear on earth. But to ascribe obvious manifestations of the Spirit to the devil's agency is a much more serious offense not committed in ignorance.
This downgrading of the significance of blasphemy against Christ marks an important difference between Christianity and Islam. Whereas Muslims are bound to defend the honor of the Prophet, for Christians Jesus is the one who says, "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me" ( Rom 15:3, ; quoting Psalm 69:9 ). He deliberately accepts the vilification of others and prays for the forgiveness of those who insult him ( Luke 23:34 ). In this, he sets an example for Christians to follow. According to Peter ( 1 Pe 2:19-25 ), they must accept insult and blasphemy without retaliation, as he did.
There is only one kind of blasphemy that Christians must resist: the blasphemy they will bring on themselves if they cause a fellow believer to stumble through the thoughtless exercise of their freedom ( Rom 14:15-16 ; 1 Cor 10:28-30 ).

In the sense of speaking evil of God this word is found in Psalms 74:18 ; Isaiah 52:5 ; Romans 2:24 ; Revelation 13:1 Revelation 13:6 ; Revelation 16:9 Revelation 16:11 Revelation 16:21 . It denotes also any kind of calumny, or evil-speaking, or abuse ( 1 Kings 21:10 ; Acts 13:45 ; 18:6 , etc.). Our Lord was accused of blasphemy when he claimed to be the Son of God ( Matthew 26:65 ; Compare Matthew 9:3 ; Mark 2:7 ). They who deny his Messiahship blaspheme Jesus ( Luke 22:65 ; John 10:36 ).
Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost ( Matthew 12:31 Matthew 12:32 ; Mark 3:28 Mark 3:29 ; Luke 12:10 ) is regarded by some as a continued and obstinate rejection of the gospel, and hence is an unpardonable sin, simply because as long as a sinner remains in unbelief he voluntarily excludes himself from pardon. Others regard the expression as designating the sin of attributing to the power of Satan those miracles which Christ performed, or generally those works which are the result of the Spirit's agency.
in its technical English sense, signifies the speaking evil of God and in this sense it is found ( Psalms 74:18 ; Isaiah 52:5 ; Romans 2:24 ) etc. But according to its derivation it may mean any species of calumny and abuse: see ( 1 Kings 21:10 ; Acts 18:6 ; Jude 1:9 ) etc. Blasphemy was punished by stoning, which was inflicted on the son of Shelomith. ( Leviticus 24:11 ) On this charge both our Lord and St. Stephen were condemned to death by the Jews. The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, ( Matthew 12:32 ; Mark 3:28 ) consisted in attributing to the power of Satan those unquestionable miracles which Jesus performed by "the finger of God" and the power of the Holy Spirit. It is plainly such a state of wilful, determined opposition to God and the Holy Spirit that no efforts will avail to lead to repentance. Among the Jews it was a sin against God answering to treason in our times.
blas'-fe-mi (blasphemia):
In classical Greek meant primarily "defamation" or "evil-speaking" in general; "a word of evil omen," hence, "impious, and irreverent speech against God."
the town clerk of Ephesus repels the charge that Paul and his companions were blasphemers of Diana (Acts 19:37).
(i) uttering impious words (Revelation 13:1,5,6; 16:9,11,21; 17:3); (ii) unworthy conduct of Jews (Romans 2:24) and Christians (1 Timothy 6:1; Titus 2:5, and perhaps 1 Timothy 1:20); (iii) of Jesus Christ, alleged to be usurping the authority of God (Matthew 9:3 = Mark 2:7 = Luke 5:21), claiming to be the Messiah, the son of God (Matthew 26:65 = Mark 14:64), or making Himself God (John 10:33,36).
Saul strove to make the Christians he persecuted blaspheme their Lord (Acts 26:11). So was he himself a blasphemer (1 Timothy 1:13; compare James 2:7).
The Unpardonable Sin:
"Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy of Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come" (Matthew 12:31,32 = Mark 3:28,29; Luke 12:10). As in the Old Testament "to sin with a high hand" and to blaspheme the name of God incurred the death penalty, so the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit remains the one unpardonable sin. These passages at least imply beyond cavil the personality of the Holy Spirit, for sin and blasphemy can only be committed against persons. In Mt and Mr a particular case of this blasphemy is the allegation of the Pharisees that Jesus Christ casts out devils by Beelzebub. The general idea is that to attribute to an evil source acts which are clearly those of the Holy Spirit, to call good evil, is blasphemy against the Spirit, and sin that will not be pardoned. "A distinction is made between Christ's other acts and those which manifestly reveal the Holy Spirit in Him, and between slander directed against Him personally as He appears in His ordinary acts, and that which is aimed at those acts in which the Spirit is manifest" (Gould, Mark at the place). Luke does not refer to any particular instance, and seems to connect it with the denial of Christ, although he, too, gives the saying that "who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven." But which of Christ's acts are not acts the Holy Spirit, and how therefore is a word spoken against Him not also blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? John identifies the Holy Spirit with the exalted Christ (John 14:16-18,26,28). The solution generally offered of this most difficult problem is concisely put by Plummer (Luke ad loc.):
"Constant and consummate opposition to the influence of the Holy Spirit, because of a deliberate preference of darkness to light, render repentance and therefore forgiveness morally impossible." A similar idea is taught in Hebrews 6:4-6, and 1 John 5:16: "A sin unto death." But the natural meaning of Christ's words implies an inability or unwillingness to forgive on the Divine side rather than inability to repent in man. Anyhow the abandonment of man to eternal condemnation involves the inability and defeat of God. The only alternative seems to be to call the kenotic theory into service, and to put this idea among the human limitations which Christ assumed when He became flesh. It is less difficult to ascribe a limit to Jesus Christ's knowledge than to God's saving grace (Mark 13:32; compare John 16:12,13). It is also noteworthy that in other respects, at least, Christ acquiesced in the view of the Holy Spirit which He found among His contemporaries.

I'm a big fan of those $5 mysteries you find in paperback at
the front of most grocery stores.
I like a book with substance, don't get me wrong, but I also
like a book I can get lost in for three hours and be done with.
I thought that's what I was getting with 'Shattered,' by
British author Karl Jones. I was half right and half wrong.
First off, 'Shattered' is the first in a new series by
Jones, following one of the central law enforcement figures in the book – Donna
The book opens strongly, setting a solid mystery and making
the central "victim" of the book somewhat unlikeable. I applaud that. Instead
of making the teenage girl some sort of angel, Jones painted her with a
realistic brush.
I like that the book had a gritty feel. The violence was
harsh, and the descriptions were somewhat crude. That made the mystery feel
like it was grounded in reality.
As an American, I also liked reading a book set in another
country. It makes the places and law enforcement details that much more
entertaining – mostly because I haven't read them before.
Still, the law enforcement officials – especially Harp –
make some fairly dumb decisions that I don't think real police officers would
make. And, as the central heroine, Harp herself is fairly vapid as a character.
I was much more interested in one of the suspects – Jason Denton. He had a more
realistic vibe to him.
As a woman I, of course, gravitate to strong heroines. Harp
is painted as a strong heroine, but it was almost as if she was written by
someone that doesn't understand how a woman really thinks so Donna Harp doesn't feel like she's been created in a realistic world.
The ending of the mystery was a surprise, but I can't decide
if it's because it was a good choice for the final culprit or because it came so
far out of left field it couldn't be anything but shocking. While I liked the
ultimate choice, I don't think the motive given was strong enough.
Also, the ending of the book is so jarring that I found myself looking for the rest of the book and coming up empty.
Ultimately, I'm a big fan of the mystery itself but I was really
turned off by the typos.
At first, I pushed off a lot of the jarring grammar issues
because of the foreign language barrier. It became increasingly clear early on,
though, that the grammar problems were evident in both languages. In other
words, this book could use a good copy editor to catch certain problems.
Still, it was a fun read, and I would recommend it to crime

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tori!
Facts about Tori
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Tori's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and not good with kids.
Tori is a very energetic tortie female around 9 months old. She is so fun to watch because she just loves life and her toys. She doesn't like other kitties too much but she will tolerate and even play with them given time. She loves to climb up on you and cuddle while she kneads and purrs. She has been with us for some time and now is ready for her own home. Tori is spayed, her 2 litter-mates tested NEG for FELV/FIV, she has both her kitten vaccines and has been de-wormed. The adoption fee for this wonderful girl is $90.00. Please call Laurie @ 480-236-9453
Other Pets at Kitty Kat Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tori, a Mesa Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Mesa, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Mesa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mesa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mesa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mesa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Williams was a bona fide player.
The Susquehanna money wasn't enough, of course. Williams placed a distant third. But that's not where his story ends. If you ask Tony, he's just getting started.
AT 54, WILLIAMS is restive. He's spent 22 years in the General Assembly, the last dozen in the Senate—in January, Democrats elected him minority whip, their number-two guy—but he wants more. Before the dust settled on the governor's race last spring, he announced a bid for auditor general in 2012. Then he wasn't so sure. He teased a run against Mayor Nutter this year, and then decided against it. He says now he'll run either for governor in 2014 or mayor in 2015, though he hasn't decided which.
Ask around about Williams, and you'll hear the same adjectives. Passionate. Smart. Just like Hardy was. The pair looked alike, too—the same smiles, the same soft eyes, the same arching eyebrows, the same thin mustaches, the same light complexions. But Hardy was a political street brawler, the kind of guy who cut deals in the Capitol's backrooms and whose sharp tongue establishment pols sought to avoid. Tony, meanwhile, fancies himself an intellectual who burrows into the nuances of legislation and proffers big ideas.
The inverse of his father, in other words.
Even those who detest his vouchers advocacy don't question Williams's smarts or sincerity. But there's also a widely held view that Williams's bombast overshadows his intellect, that he tries too hard to be noticed. Further, he doesn't seem committed to the coalition-forging and elbow-greasing that Philly politics requires. "I don't see him building any effort to do much of anything," one local politico says. "The idea that he would run for governor, or run for mayor, and be any good at that stuff is kind of silly."
If Williams wants to be an A-lister, he'll have to do more than talk about how serious he is. Or, as that insider puts it, "He's still got to figure out who he is and what he wants."
TONY NEVER WANTED to follow in Hardy's footsteps. He wanted to make money. After earning his economics degree at Franklin & Marshall, that's just what he set out to do: first as an analyst for a Washington, D.C.-area firm and an executive for PepsiCo in New York City, then later running his own vending business. Growing up, he says, he watched his parents struggle. His mother was a schoolteacher, his father a criminal-defense attorney whose clients didn't always pay, then a politician whose 24/7 job strained the family. (Tony's parents separated when he was in high school and divorced several years later.) His parents had idolized Bobby Kennedy, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., and exalted public service. He wanted none of it.
Even watching his dad mount a campaign for mayor in 1971—rallying the black wards with chants of "Power to the People!" and finishing third behind Frank Rizzo and Bill Green—didn't spark an interest in politics.

The Durham Academy News Feed recently highlighted remarks made by the American Immigration...
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel |
Noncitizens facing removal must have a meaningful opportunity to present their cases to an immigration judge. On occasion, noncitizens are deprived of this opportunity due to their lawyers' incompetence or mistake. Although the government has recognized the need for a remedy for ineffective assistance of counsel, see Matter of Lozada, the framework currently used to evaluate whether ineffective assistance has occurred is severely flawed. The LAC has long worked to protect the right to effective assistance of counsel for noncitizens in removal proceedings.
Matter of Compean, 24 I&N Dec. 710 (A.G. 2009), vacated by 25 I&N Dec. 1 (A.G. 2009)
On January 7, 2009, the Attorney General issued the first Matter of Compean decision, which reversed decades of precedent securing the right to effective assistance of counsel. Subsequently, the LAC (joined by numerous organizations and individuals) urged the Attorney General to reconsider the case. On June 3, 2009, the Attorney General issued the second Compean decision, vacating the prior decision. The June 3 decision directs the immigration judges and BIA to apply pre-Compean standards to motions to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel. It also directs EOIR to initiate a rulemaking procedure to evaluate the Lozada framework and to determine what modifications should be proposed for public consideration. To date, EOIR has not published a proposed rule for comment.
LAC Amicus Brief, filed October 6, 2008
LAC Amicus Letter, urging reconsideration of Compean I
DHS' Opposition to Motion to Reconsider
Afanwi v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 788 (4th Cir. 2008)
In Afanwi, the court upheld the BIA's finding that it lacked jurisdiction to reopen a case based on ineffective assistance of counsel because the ineffectiveness occurred after the completion of proceedings. The LAC filed an amicus brief on July 18, 2008 in support of rehearing. Although the court denied the petition for rehearing, subsequently, the Supreme Court granted a petition for certiorari, vacated the Fourth Circuit's judgment, and remanded the case to the Fourth Circuit in light of the government's position that the Attorney General had favorably resolved this issue in the second Matter of Compean decision. Afanwi v. Holder, 558 U.S. 801 (2009).
Matter of Assaad, 23 I&N Dec. 553 (BIA 2003)
At the request of the BIA, the LAC submitted several amicus briefs urging the BIA to affirm the right to seek a remedy for ineffective assistance of counsel and to adopt a more flexible procedure for bringing an ineffective assistance of counsel claim. In its decision, the BIA affirmed the right to seek a remedy for ineffective assistance of counsel, but did not amend the procedures for bringing such a claim.
In November 2009, the American Immigration Council sent a letter to the Executive Office for Immigration Review recommending steps the immigration courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals can take to protect the right to effective assistance of counsel and help ensure that noncitizens in removal proceedings are afforded a fair hearing.

biographical name(born c. 630died c. 560 BC) Athenian statesman, reformer, and poet, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece. He was of noble descent but of moderate means. Though he held the office of archon c. 594, he did not gain full power as a reformer and legislator until some 20 years later. He ended aristocratic rule and permitted participation by all citizens who had achieved a measure of wealth, eliminating any bloodline requirement. He replaced Draco's code with more humane laws, freed citizens enslaved for debt and redeemed their land, encouraged professions, and reformed coinage and weights and measures. Despite complaints from all sides, the people abided by the changes. He apparently left Athens for 10 years on a series of travels; on his return, he warned Athens about his relative Peisistratus, who would become tyrant.

Book Printing Outlook : E-Readers Equal E-rosion?
December 2010 By Erik CagleSenior Editor
A revolution often starts out with shouting that is too distant to hear, from a group of people too small to be considered significant, and pitted against a status quo too entrenched in tradition to be regarded as vulnerable. But, once the revolution begins to swell, all of the factors that made consideration of such a ludicrous proposition illegitimate are viewed in a different light.
In the world of book publishing, the revolution is represented by the e-reader. Most longtime observers of printing and book publishing scoff at the idea of a wholesale movement away from the printed word. Many of these prognosticators view the e-reader as a complementary technology, which further satiates our thirst for freedom of choice in the way we receive and digest information.
Strictly from a neutral viewpoint, the e-book came into its own during 2010—and in a big way. The high-priced Amazon Kindle and some lesser-known models emerged into the public consciousness in 2009, with technical glitches, title limitations and a niche market share of about 3 percent for consumer book sales.
One year later, a less expensive Kindle is rubbing elbows with the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo and countless others. The market share of consumer book sales has swollen to roughly 9 percent, according to the Association of American Publishers (AAP), from $89.8 million in January-August sales in 2009 to $263 million for the same period in 2010.
One of the biggest questions heading into 2011: Has the e-reader market peaked, having now been embraced by the most ardent bibliophiles, or is there reason to believe more market share can be cannibalized? Further, whither the future of the educational sector and its possible adoption of e-readers in lieu of textbooks?
On the latter count, obstacles abound for the e-reader. Standardized electronic formats would need to be developed and accepted on a state and/or national level. An economical and highly durable version of the e-reader would need to be developed in order to justify a wholesale change from the printed text. Lastly, a generation of educators would need to embrace such a fundamental change in the educational process.
Not Taking Over Yet
"The book model isn't going to change in the near future, until there's a versatile, fairly sturdy and affordable four-color e-reader that doesn't need software upgrades on a regular basis," observes Peter Tobin, vice president at North Chelmsford, MA-based Courier Corp. The perception for e-readers is great, given the mind share they have garnered within the consumer sect, and Tobin notes that publishers are closely monitoring trends.
As for 2010, Courier enjoyed solid performances from the higher education (higher ed) sector, fueled by heavy demand in custom as well as traditional college textbooks, organic growth and strong reprints. The elementary-high school (el-hi) space, from a fiscal standpoint, wasn't much better off than it was in 2009, but pent-up demand led to modest growth. Organic growth and deeper penetration with existing clientele helped power the trade market into modest gains for Courier, with nice individual performances for crafts, business and cookbooks.
The 2010 campaign was also marked by aggressive platform augmentation at Courier. It invested in two new HP T300 inkjet digital web presses, which were tested and adapted for the book market, for its headquarters location. The result, according to Tobin, is the best of both worlds: offset-quality printing to go with the economical advantage of short-run capabilities. The T300s were about 18 months in the making for Courier and, to Tobin, the acquisition made good economic sense for both the printer and its publisher clients. And, since Courier also has a publishing arm, the benefits were crystal clear.
"A lot of publishers we've talked to say they have major initiatives going forward to reduce inventory costs, warehouse space and to carry fewer books that sit in a block for years at a time," he says. "They want to find ways to cost-effectively manufacture smaller quantities, and this is a solution for that."
Market growth and the emergence of high-speed inkjet printing have enabled Courier to add a sixth manufacturing facility, Courier Digital Solutions, to its stable. This winter, the company also plans to install its fourth four-color manroland Lithoman heatset web press in its Kendallville, IN, plant.
With the uncertainty of midterm political elections over and an improving economy, Courier is bullish on a successful 2011. Tobin believes the investments in digital inkjet and conventional hardware will enable the printer to mine deeper with existing clients and provide opportunities to expand market share.
"We'll have the opportunity to say 'yes' a lot more in 2011 than we have in the past," he notes. "Publishers want to assign a program of titles for us to manage throughout their lives. Maybe we're producing 300 or 500 preproduction copies of a book for them to use for seeding the market. Once the title becomes accepted, we can produce 20,000 in an offset run, then go back to producing it digitally in the twilight years."
Education's Niche
Another printer that addresses the educational market—both el-hi and higher education—is Malloy Inc., of Ann Arbor, MI. Higher ed yielded high-single-digit growth, notes Malloy President Bill Upton, with el-hi in the low-single range. Trade, which represents the largest share of his company's business, kept a steady pace in 2010, and Upton saw a trend toward more frequent printings of lower-count runs.
"Publishers are being more cautious of how they handle their inventories," he points out. "In the past six months, we've had a surge of customers that are small publishers or self-publishers. The trade market seems to be more diffused."
Upton believes e-books are making publishers wary of inventory levels, as performers such as Amazon appear to be garnering share from the traditional brick-and-mortar outlets. Similarly, the major publishing houses are being even more particular in taking on new authors, which is helping to fuel the self-publishing arena, according to Upton.
In order to grow business, Malloy capitalized on much of the work it had been doing by enhancing its scheduling system to provide guaranteed and expedited deliveries. That guarantee provides clients with free product if the promised delivery date is not met.
"It can be valuable to publishers—when they're in a jam—to know they're empowered to come back to the printer to say, 'this has to happen in three days,' " Upton says. "We're also doing more fulfillment. We refer to these as Title Support Services that enable publishers to manage inventory better and improve their cash flow."
E-books will actually play a role in Malloy's success going forward. The company is beta testing an e-book conversion solution with a third-party provider, pulling archived titles out for formatting and conversion into electronic form. On the traditional front, Upton is hoping to see state educational budgets allow for more textbook purchasing/adoptions.
Upton also reports that Malloy plans to replace a casing-in line for hardcover books to coincide with its digital short-run offerings. Malloy can produce case-bound runs with as few as 100 copies; 24 for softcover.
Despite the economy, consumers are still snapping up printed books, notes Brian Freschi, president of retail inserts, books, directories and Canada operations for Quad/Graphics of Sussex, WI. He points to AAP data that say traditional sales in 2010 are up compared to the previous year, and Freschi confirms that has been Quad/Graphics' experience, as well. He expected the final numbers for the second half of 2010 to be buffered by continuing strength in best-selling trade titles, along with a strong showing by educational book products. Quad/Graphics also competes in the religious, reference and B-to-B markets.
Digital printing has helped buoy the back list/out-of-print title arena for Quad. Freschi cites Bowker data that illustrates the explosive growth in titles printed since 2008. "Consumers love choice, so we expect the growth of digital printing to continue at double-digit rates because it allows publishers to economically produce books on-demand," he says.
Digital Has Its Place
In this vein, Quad/Graphics has bolstered its digital book production platform with a major expansion of new presses and integrated binding lines in several locations to provide the trade and educational segments with what it considers offset-quality reproduction. The new gear is ramping up production through the first quarter of 2011.
Freschi contends that Quad/Graphics has not experienced any erosion due to the growth of e-readers. Digital content delivery has actually provided new premedia opportunities for the printer. And, while e-books now account for 9 percent of consumer book sales, Freschi sees a complementary relationship with ink-on-paper sales. Moreover, he views this development as a positive sign for literacy.
"The impact of digital readers may, in the longer term, reduce the rate of growth in traditional book markets. But the impact, so far, has been modest," he states. "Reference products may be more impacted over time. We expect that consumers will value content in both paper and electronic books. Our challenge is to offer publishers the ability to simultaneously deliver printed and electronic books to consumers on a timely and cost-effective basis."
How successful 2011 can be, as most assert, is contingent upon healthy economies in North America. "While growth will be slow, the trend is positive," Freschi adds. "Quad/Graphics has new technologies, expanded digital offerings and more value-added services coming on line in 2011. We are excited about the future of print, our company and the industry."
The 2010 campaign has been nothing short of successful for North America's largest printer, Chicago-based RR Donnelley. The trade segment enjoyed growth in both hardcover and paperbacks, with many New York Times best-seller titles churning through RR Donnelley's presses.
The educational segment was buoyed by volume increases from the Texas reading and Florida math adoptions, and RR Donnelley—despite tight budgets that have shelved some orders, both short- and long-term—benefitted from its comprehensive selection of learning materials (i.e., flashcards, kitting/fulfillment and manipulatives). Increased enrollments and publisher demands for highly customized solutions for printed textbooks, graphics management and packaging enabled the Windy City-based printer to reap gains in the college segment, as well.
"In the changing world of print manufacturing, we provide on-demand production to publishers from all segments, in quantities from ones to millions," notes Ed Lane, president, book and directory, for RR Donnelley. "We support publishers that want customized textbooks, advance reader copies or smaller quantities to support inventory management."
Lane adds that clients wishing to strike a balance between cycle time and cost continued to source products through RR Donnelley's integrated U.S./China manufacturing platform.
Distribution Services
"We continue to grow our book fulfillment and distribution services, as all publishers, regardless of size and category, evaluate whether they need to control and manage distribution in-house or through an outsource partner," Lane says. "We see the use of digital print, combined with inventory management techniques, as key to reducing publication costs."
In the equipment department, RR Donnelley fortified its digital press platform with the addition of 20 ProteusJet inkjet presses across its network of facilities. The home-spun ProteusJet furnishes multi-color printing at resolutions up to 1,200 dpi at 800 fpm. Its Harrisonburg, VA, plant alone will have five new ProteusJet presses by year's end. In addition, RR Donnelley has developed a high-speed, 60˝ inkjet version, which the company plans to roll out in the first half of 2011.
As for 2011, Lane believes the economy will drive purchasing behaviors on both the consumer and educational fronts. "Overall, promotional book coverage will effectively improve book sales," he predicts. "The el-hi segment will be dependent on funding from the states, while many analysts expect that the college segment will be stable. We are ready to meet the customization and variable quantity needs by utilizing our digital print platform." PI

I purchased a nice old oak Teacher's Desk today that is in really good shape, except for some worn, bare wood areas on the top near the front edge where a person would sit and work. Because it's in such good shape, I don't want to completely refinish it, I only want to touch up the worn area so that it blends with the old finish.
Can anyone tell me what product to use that would best match the existing finish (and is it 'varnish')? I was thinking about just using a furniture oil. I have a photo (from the Craig's List ad — not the best quality) that I've linked below. Thanks for your help. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Teacher's Desk
Follow-Up Postings:
The finish is probably an oil based varnish. To properly refinish the top, you need to sand it smooth(not necessarily sanding off the old finish) and apply three coats of varnish according to the instructions on the can. You may elect to do a 'repair', but as a rule, short cuts last a short time or create more problems later. |

I sanded the top where there were some rings from cups and the bare wood and then used amber shellac for a new finish, then paste wax on top of that. I didn't remove all of the old finish but am happy with the way the shellac blended with the original finish. Someday I may completely refinish the desk but I just don't have the time right now - I can use it now the way it is. You can see the great shape it's in (see linked photo). Thanks for your suggestion. |

Ello. I'm hallie. Nice to meet you.
Wait, you might want to know a little about me first, huh? Well, I'm twenty six, and I work with the developmentally disabled population. I'm also an artist (or at least an enthusiastic untalented hack), a writer, and a musician. I'm a stereotypical Sagittarian, which means whatever crosses my mind is coming out of my mouth. And if I don't like something, trust me, I'm going to say something about it. I may end up offending people, but I usually don't mean to. Yep, I'm a chronic sufferer of foot-squarely-in-mouth syndrome.
I live in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I share this idyllic home with my mom, who was kind enough to let me move back in when I lost everything, and my dog Chester. It's a simple, rather plain existance, but I like it.
I also share much of my time, and all of my heart, with a man named Haytham. We haven't been together long, but I can say he's one of the best things that's ever happened to me, and well, I'm pretty happy with that situation.
This is just basic hallie info. If you want to know more, feel free to ask. :)
Cookies are my specialty, but I love to cook just about anything... even if I'm not so good at anything but desserts. :)

Hi Isn't it interesting how much time effort and money was poured into Apollo but when the Russians quit trying the entire effort went bust?? Runaway most interesting program going on now is the New Horizons which will go into orbit around the dwarf planet Pluto in 2015 and should provide pix of not only the Kuiper belt but the hypothetical Oort cloud. I met Clyde Tombaugh (discovered Pluto in 1930) and some of his ashes are actually in the craft. Amazing that from the beginning of time to 1930 to discover 9 planets there are now well over 650!! The solor system is at least 5 times bigger than thought during the moon landing!! Wouldn't even venture a guess as to the concept of the universe in say a hundred years . almost everything known if not completely untrue was seriously flawed.!! Mind boggling stuff!!! gary |
Truly a sad day yesterday, all my heroes are dying off.... |

MADURAI: The Madurai bench of the Madras High court has directed the prison authorities to consider the plea of a life convict to retain him at the Salem Central prison, which is nearest to his residence, so that it would enable his elderly mother visit him. Disposing of a petition filed by one C Sekar, a life convict of Salem, Justice K K Sasidharan said, "The jail visit by the mother would give the petitioner a kind of moral support."
Sekar of Kondaladampatty was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by the district and sessions court, Salem, in 1995 when he was 22 years, for committing a murder. A resident of Salem, he was originally confined at the Central Prison in Coimbatore. He was transferred to Trichy after a period of five years.
According to him, he was transferred only on account of a hunger strike undertaken by the inmates complaining of poor quality of food. Since he was transferred to the Central Prison, Trichy, his mother discontinued the jail visit as it was not possible for her to undertake a visit to Trichy from Salem, given the time necessary for travel as well as the expenses. His mother submitted a representation to the additional director-general of police (prisons) to transfer the life convict to Salem, which was favourably considered by the prisons department.
Accordingly, he was transferred to Salem, as per proceedings dated August 14, 2011. The transfer was for a period of six months and after completing the said period, he was to be shifted to Trichy. Filing the present petition, Sekar wanted him to be retained at Salem primarily for the reason that his aged mother would be in a position to meet him frequently.
Rejecting the contention of the jail authorities, the judge pointed out, "The jail authorities alleged that the petitioner created so many problems together with other habitual prisoners against the prison administration. However, there is nothing on record to substantiate the said contention."
The judge further observed, "The prison authorities should consider the plight of prisoners with an open mind. The petitioner was not born as a criminal. He was involved in a murder case and ultimately, he was punished."
Directing the ADGP to consider the convict's plea, Justice Sasidharan said, "Prisons should become reform houses. The prison authorities should not adopt an attitude that once a prisoner, is always a prisoner. The prisoner in due course would reform himself. He would realise the mistake committed by him. The prison regulations contain provisions regarding premature release of prisoners on good conduct. These provisions are all made with a view to see that the prisoners behave in a peaceful manner during their confinement."

News Mars 2014
Line-up June 2013 "Tragedy - Ecstasy - Doom" Vanhelgd welcomes Jonas Albrektsson to the band. Jonas has a past in Thy Primordial, Indungeon, Niden Div. 187, Thy Primordial, Carcaroht and is now active in King of Asgard and grind core veterans Retaliation. He also had a short affair with Ceremonial Execution. We are very glad that Jonas wanted to join Vanhelgd and we think that he will contribute a lot in making our next album the way we want it: dark and crushing! Vanhelgd "Church of Death" CD, LP and Pic LP click for: Pressrelease "A monument of bones, built on nameless graves" From a Christian perspective the mocking of the "sacred", the "holy", the "good", the "just", the "true" and a selective misuse of the holy mass and the bible, is a sure mark of the devil. Religion made the devil, and now devil laughs back at the believers. Vanhelgd accept no god. Vanhelgd accept no religious text as law or governor of man. Vanhelgd spit on all that is holy and piss on your sanctuaries and gods. "Church of Death" is a declaration of war upon you gods! Church of Death is the second album from the Swedish death metal band Vanhelgd. In November 2010 an EP called "Praise the Serpent was released consisting of two songs from the same recording session as "Church of Death" but with another mix. On Church of Death Vanhelgd develops their aggressive aspects as well as a more ominous manifestation with a felling of doom. The album haunts the cemetery as well as submerging the listener into the black abyss. There are some rather clear differences between "Church of Death" and "Cult of Lazarus" but also a lot of similarities. Both albums have a kind of shattered personality in common, but "Church of death" has a more focused and elaborated arrangement and mood within each song. Limited die hard Pic LP version with patch and sticker. Both versions include A2 poster and insert. Aviable from Nuclear War Now! 28/11 We are proud to annonce a new Vanhelgd release! Vanhelgd "Praise the Serpent" 12″ EP The "Praise the Serpent" EP consists of two old Ceremonial Execution songs that have been disinterred, molested and dismembered by Vanhelgd. The songs were originally intended for the "Church of Death" album but were taken out due to lack of space on the record. The first song "Praise the Serpent" includes Robert Kardell from Ceremonial Execution on vocals and winds its way slowly into the dark stinking swamps of the human mind. The second song, "the Triumph of Death" is an examination of the intersection point between life and death, the absence hope and an excavation of the mass graves of the battlefield. Biography In the end of the year 2007 Vanhelgd was formed by Björn Andersson (drums), Jimmy Johansson(guitars, backup vocals) and Mattias Frisk(Guitars vocals). The intention was to play dark, blood soaked death metal in the vein of the old masters. Songs were taking form and the need for a bass player became more and more urgent. In the beginning of 2008 the old friend Viktor Gustafsson stepped in to handle the base guitar. A very ruff demo was recorded during a rehearsal and some of the songs where published on the internet. Soon the interest for the band grew and Vanhelgd recorded eight songs in Backbone studios in Mjölby and the first full length album "Cult of Lazarus" was released by Crematorium Records in November 2008. The band got in contact with the US based Nuclear War Now! Records who decided to release "Cult of Lazarus" as a 12" LP in 2009. In the Summer of 2009 Vanhelgd recorded a couple of new songs as a demo. One of the tracks from that session, "Nec spe, nec metu" was featured on the "Invocation of death" compilation, released in june 2010 by Death invocation records. Vanhelgd started to work with the recording for their second ful-length album "Church of Death" in april 2010. Due to various problems they didn't finish until September the same year. Two of the songs were taken out to be featured on the EP "Praise the Serpent which was released on the Nuclear War Now! Fest part 2 in Berlin where the band also performed.

I'm stumped at what stools to choose for my kitchen island and would love suggestions. This is for an open kitchen/dining room in an old brownstone in a city. We will need 3 to 4 stools depending on which stools we choose. In a perfect world we will have stools with a swivel function as well as a comfortable back (The back function is the more important one and it doesn't have to be a full back but it does have to give some kind of back support). I've already been through a number of possible stools at places like Ikea but none of them quite work. They are either too modern or too bulky. And we liked a metal and clear-seat stool from cb2 but it was too low and deep and the price was too high for the comfort level so we returned it. Right now we have a cute restoration hardware metal stool in white but it is huge for the space and if we kept it I'd swap it for a metallic one to match the fridge - but we wouldn't have a swivel function if we go that route. It is mid range in price. I've been eyeing the metal and white stool at the store called Room and Board, and it seems very nice but it's over $300 per stool. I've also been eyeing similar stools that are significantly less but don't look as sturdy or long-lasting. I'm not above splurging on the stool in question so long as it really works in our kitchen and is comfortable. So the question is does the stool work? I think our price range is $50 to $325 per stool. I'd prefer $75 per stool but with the time this is taking, getting settled is worth a higher price. I love some of the design within reach stools but for $700 per stool, ha ha. I've attached a link to pics of our kitchen and some of the stools we are considering. And here is one pic of the kitchen. I will post a reply with a pic of the room and board stool |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think your counter stools should be white. Looks like you have plenty of white already going on in the space. I would look toward bringing the wood floor finish elsewhere in the room. Here are some options for counter stools. Maybe consider a woven wood blind or wood horizontal blind on your window. |

The friendly and experienced staffers at this full-service day spa perform an array of treatments to transform forlorn figures into flattering frames. Carve a coveted 12-pack into your midsection with a Zerona body-sculpting treatment ($200–$250). During the 40-minute session, a noninvasive laser melts rebellious fat cells loitering under the skin, which then get fully eliminated through the body's natural detoxification processes. This Groupon is good for one treatment, but six treatments are recommended for optimal results. Opt for two spider-vein treatments to noninvasively banish web-like squiggles and inadvertently offensive words from your surface.
Two hunters step through a field of sorghum, making their way toward the tree line in the distance. Just where the wild grasses brush up against the tree trunks, there's a slight movement in the brush. It might be a hen-sized chukar partridge about to spring into the air on its short, barred wings. But if they're lucky, the hunters will spy the green crown, red wattles, and long tail of a plump prize pheasant.
These kinds of upland bird hunts draw people year-round to Deer Creek Hunt Club's more than 500 acres of woodlands, rolling hills, and wetlands. Well-trained gundogs?both flushing breeds and pointers?can accompany hunters on these expeditions, which are led by able, professional guides. Off the field, visitors can sharpen their skills in clay-shooting facilities with skeet and five-stand fields as well as a sporting-clays course with different sections for the beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The staff also leads private shooting lessons and hunters? safety courses.
After a day in the fields, guests can refresh at the clubhouse, where furniture built by local Amish craftsmen fills a rustic but comfortable dining room. Memberships grant frequent guests privileges such as access to the clubhouse?s upper level. Just a few miles inland from Lake Michigan, Deer Creek is located about 90 minutes from Chicago and about 30?40 minutes from South Bend.
Mudderland transmutes one of the Midwest's largest motocross tracks into a swampy test of endurance, challenging thrill-seekers across 3.5 miles of military-style obstacles. Unfurled across the site of a WWII munitions factory, the one-day, full-body assault sends participants running, climbing, and crawling through a lineup of natural barriers, including a 19-foot concrete wall that sprouted from a radioactive apple seed during the 1940s. As limbs splash through ponds, slither through tunnels, and flail wildly while soaring down monstrous slip and slides, spectators bask in the muddy melee from elevated bleachers and VIP viewing decks. Afterward, fresh water bursts from the course's showers to blast away dirt and reveal each participant's new layer of confidence.
The Hesston Steam Museum honors a crucial juncture in industrial history—before the rise of the internal combustion engine but after the obsolescence of dragon-powered machinery. Steam powered the industrialized world through the 19th and early 20th centuries, from the railroads to the saw mills to the electric power plants. Hesston Steam Museum boasts examples of all of these, including three versions of steam trains: a full-size narrow gauge, a quarter-scale locomotive, and a tiny 1/8-scale that is still capable of carrying passengers across its miniature track.

(FREMONT, Calif.) -- An incident at the Tesla Motors plant in Fremont, Calif., is being described as an "industrial accident," with three people hurt with "moderate to serious injuries," according to Fire Captain Dan Cardenas. In a statement, Tesla Motors said, "There was a failure in a low pressure aluminum casting press. Three employees were injured by hot metal from that press. We are making sure that they receive the best possible care."
Cardenas said there was "no fire" at the plant. "It was an industrial accident involving pressurized equipment that they used, which resulted in three patients being treated for burns and they have been transported to a local hospital," Cardenas said.
The incident took place around noon Pacific time, officials said. Cardenas, who has worked with various fire departments for 33 years, said he believed the injuries were "moderate to serious." When asked about the frequency of accidents like that of Tesla's, Cardenas said it was "hard to say." "I've probably come across several different industrial accidents like this where people get injured using machinery that they use at their manufacturing plants," he said. "Whether power or water, there are so many different ways of these things happening."
Just Tuesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk reiterated the safety record of the company's latest car, the Model S, which has been under media scrutiny after three different cars caught on fire after high-impact accidents. In all three incidents, none of the drivers were injured.
With 25,000 cars on the road worldwide, Musk said the company's overriding concern is safety. "If fire is your concern, you could not be in a safer car," Musk said in New York City at a conference organized by Business Insider.

Red Bull Racing is one of two F1 teams owned by the energy drinks company. Every year, I go to the races from Friday to Sunday, as they are so much fun and very exciting. Unfortunately, I was unable to go this year because of the new restaurant but at the same time, I am really glad that it is almost all set up.
In the picture that has been posted are my good friends Muttoh-san and David Coulthard. Also known as 'DC', David drives for Red Bull Racing. He is the second most successful driver on the grid this year and is the top British scorer. At the 2008 British Grand Prix, David announced his retirement from F1 once the season is over. We all managed to meet up in a private house party and had the time of our lives!
I was so bummed I couldn't go to the races this year that I promise to go next year even if it means to have a Mario clone taking care of things in the restaurant!

With the arrival of the school holidays and a certain bunny, Easter is always a popular time with children. Keep your little ones entertained with easy-peasy recipes for cupcakes and cookies, and for hours of fun, get your crayons ready for some egg decorating. Or why not host an Easter egg hunt? As well as being super exciting, it's a great way to keep the little ones happy.
Children's Easter game
Easter is all about new life, and we've got just the game that will take your little ones on an exploring adventure where they can learn all about Spring, the great outdoors and get some Easter treats along the way.
There are several ways this game can be played – in the garden, park, local farm or even in the house if it rains, and very little planning is needed.
Looking for a way to keep the kids occupied over the Easter holidays? Why not get crafty and creative with chocolate and master the simple art of homemade chocolate Easter eggs! Follow our easy and fun step-by-step recipe and find out how you can add the perfect finisihing touches with our top egg decorating tips.
Egg decorating
Egg decorating is a great way to get into the Easter spirit. Dye your eggs with food colouring added to the water when hard-boiling them. Before dyeing, clean the eggs with white vinegar to help the shell absorb the dye. If you want to play with patterns, use a white crayon as the wax will block the dye. Alternatively, decorate plain-dyed eggs with glitter, sequins and ribbon. (Don't eat the eggs after they've been dyed.)
You can also use washed raw eggs. Use a needle to make a small hole in the narrow end and a slightly larger hole at the other. Wriggle round the needle to break the yolk's membrane, blow through the small hole to empty the egg, then decorate with glitter, sequins and ribbon.
