LIEUTENANT NUN Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World. By Catalina de Erauso. Translated by Michele Stepto and Gabriel Stepto. Foreword by Marjorie Garber. 80 pp. Boston: Beacon Press. $16.95.
On March 18, 1600, St. Joseph's eve, a novice stole the keys to the convent where she was shortly to take her vows. Escaping to a chestnut grove nearby, she refashioned herself as a member of the opposite sex, cutting off her hair and sewing a pair of breeches out of her blue bodice.
Catalina de Erauso, a young Basque woman of good family, was hardly the first to have purchased freedom under the cover of masculine disguise: her expedient belonged to a well-worn convention in literature, and in life. But the uses to which she put her disguise set her apart from the playful Rosalinds. In the course of the next 20 years, Catalina de Erauso set sail for South America with conquistadors, signed on as a soldier in a bloody expedition to Chile, rescued a woman in distress, suffered capture when the Dutch laid siege to Lima, brawled, gambled, swore, pillaged, pilfered and murdered.
Sometime about 1620 her propensity for getting into trouble finally caught up with her and, pursued by cutthroats, she took refuge with a saintly bishop. Feeling "the presence of God," she confessed her sins, told him the story of her life (it took 15 hours) and emerged into history. The cross-dressing nun became an instant celebrity: people flocked to see her, the King of Spain gave her a pension, she was petted by cardinals and princes. The Pope himself gave her official permission to pursue her life in men's clothing, though he drew the line at further brawling and murder.
Having confessed a great deal to the church, she set down a rather unrepentant account of her life and rogueries. Though versions of her life appeared widely in folklore and drama, de Erauso's memoir was not published until 1829, nearly two centuries after her death. Now Michele Stepto and Gabriel Stepto have unearthed the strange story for us, in a highly competent translation from the Spanish, "Lieutenant Nun."
Catalina de Erauso's historical existence is well documented, but the shape of her narrative bears a strong resemblance to the picaresque novel. The genre was just coming into its own about the time the 15-year-old novice fled her convent, though the earliest of the rogues' tales, "Lazarillo de Tormes," had been widely circulated for several decades. It is an open question whether the nun's story represents fiction operating on life (an effect brilliantly exploited by de Erauso's contemporary Cervantes in "Don Quixote") or gives support to the now-disputed argument that the picaresque tale closely reflected Spanish society of the time.
The autobiography differs from its fictional counterparts, however, in several crucial respects. The fictional lowborn Lazarillo moves from town to town inescapably fixed in his caste, while Catalina de Erauso -- at least before her doings began to catch up with her -- fell into more exalted circumstances. Though the shift of sex operated such a thorough transformation in the way others perceived de Erauso that even her own mother and father failed to recognize her, the means by which her contemporaries read her class remained intact. Arriving with no introduction in a town where she was unknown, Catalina -- or rather, the male version of Catalina -- found a job as a page to the King's secretary. She was kindly treated and protected, while Lazarillo de Tormes is routinely abused.
The lieutenant nun's memoir is also more violent than most picaresque tales. While the heroes and heroines of those novels typically use their wits to avoid confrontation, Catalina de Erauso threw herself into it with a vengeance. Bodies pile up with alarming frequency in her story, often for no more reason than that the victim insults de Erauso over a game of cards. The fatalities are reported in increasingly detached terms: by the time she gets to the 13th murder (by my count, though it is sometimes difficult to tell who is murdered and who is merely maimed), de Erauso herself seems to be thoroughly deadened. "I fire one of my pistols and someone goes down," she reports laconically.
In the foreword to "Lieutenant Nun," Marjorie Garber, the author of "Vested Interests: Cross-Dressing and Cultural Anxiety," argues that de Erauso's story should be considered a manifestation of what she calls "a category crisis," a phenomenon she describes as "a failure of definitional distinction" in which "binary opposition" (male/female, black/white, gay/straight, master/servant) is revealed to be merely a "construct."
While there is much evidence to support the argument that the male persona Catalina de Erauso chose to adopt could be called a "construct," I cannot agree with the contention that this story reflects a "blurring" of boundaries that can be extrapolated to describe Spanish society as a whole. What seems remarkable, rather, is the degree to which de Erauso's male persona conforms to the most clichd version of honor-besotted, trigger-happy machismo -- to the point of dueling over being called a "cuckold."
De Erauso's story, it seems to me, reveals the degree to which the division between sexual spheres was absolute in her world. While her brothers all went to South America in search of fortune and adventure, she was given over to the nunnery at the age of 4, as were her four sisters, only one of whom married. It may be that the one way she could imagine herself free was to imagine herself as a man. Since she gives little indication in the narrative of attraction to either men or women, it is impossible to know at this distance whether her shift from female to male also involved sex. When examined by the church after her confession, she triumphantly declared herself "an intact virgin." It is interesting to speculate whether, had this not been the case, the Pope would have been so quick to proffer his blessing.
These and other perplexities make the frontier nun's rascally tale a fascinating puzzle to decipher. I can't quite bring myself to like her, but I can't help admiring the sheer effrontery of leaping from a nunnery into the world of colonial Latin America and surviving to enjoy fame, fortune and absolution.

There's been a big push to get rid of his name and call him Joe Hennig but WWE officials are so against real names these days because they want to full own everyone's ring name.

I used to enjoy going here. It was fair. Now they owe me rewards and tokens. I can't get in if my life depended on it. they are horrible. It's been like this for months. Thanks a lot.
I haven't gotten any surveys since I signed up October 2014.
Customer service agents are extremely rude, slow to respond. Incentives not sent when claimed to be.
Amazon points add up in time and added to other surveys it pays in time.
While they aren't the best paying, they get 4 of 5 for being very transparent. You know what you are signing up for. Technical issues are addressed easily if you're signed up on their facebook page. Also, they have a token game you get to play if you don't qualify for a survey. You pretty much get the same reward every time, so the game itself really isn't necessary, but at least they give you something and everyone is a winner.

Choose this resort in Langkawi. The staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms my family were given are a bit far from the lobby... yet every-time we asked a transport, we never have to wait for more than 3 minutes. My children, my grandchildren, and my wife enjoyed the stay very much.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rishi Great hotel but more care needed
We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. During this time we spent most of the time at the hotel and ate most of our meals there. The location and setting is fantastic. The jungle outside your rooms, the monkeys wandering around the place etc is superb. Some of the facilities at the hotel seem very run down. The swimming pool is in a beautiful setting but the upkeep seems poor. The tennis courts are very run down. The fitness centre has some good machines. The board games on offer are all old and the pool table is in a terrible location and in a poor state. The breakfast was good. All the other meals we ate were average to poor. The captains grill is priced at the high end but for the price the food does not meet expectations. We bought the spg kids pass but some of the restaurant staff seemed unaware of what the hotel offers and some did not understand what the spg kids pass was for. The occupancy was very low and the hotel seemed overstaffed and most staff seem to be idyling their time away. The hotel can easily organise some activities for guests and be more proactive in offering options to guests. Overall it was a good stay but could have been so much better.

Rated 1 out of 5 by inda86 The WORST and Horrible Hotel that I've ever stay
I booked two rooms in this hotel through Agoda, first time when I looked this hotel from the website this hotel beautiful and also have a great view of Andaman Sea, but the reality its really different when me and my friend arrived at the hotel. there's so much chaos such as :
1. The hospitality of the staff its terrible, we pick up our luggage and there's no staff stand by in the lobby.
2. when I got a key and we will go to my rooms I found the smell of the room is Bad, and the rooms its full of dust. the glass and tea cup on the bar was also very dirty and dusty. the painting on wall also damages, dusty, not in the right position, there was also one painting fell down, because the nail was broke.
3. The bathroom its not well maintenance and even worst
4. in room dining: the food tasted awfull while the price was very expensive (5 star hotel price), while the quality was very low, and we had to wait for almost 1,5 hour to arrived at our room. the presentation was scary, the condiment were scattered everywhere of the plate.
5. the small garden in front of our room was very ugly, the wild grass were everywhere, the leaf from palm trees were on the grass carelessly. seems that its been month there were no maintenance. the garden on the lobby and on the way from lobby to our room was also very dirty and way under maintenance for months i guess.
we ve paid the hotel for staying 4 days and 3 nights, but we only stay for 3 hours while the money was non refundable. but we didnt even care about it, all we want was just to get out of it. we were very angry and felt cheated by what we've seen on the website.
I will never recommend this hotel to anyone or everyone, this was honestly the worst hotel i ve ever stayed. 5 star rated is a joke, this hotel was even worse than a motel. i would like to suggest the company, ' if youre not going the improve everything and not even care of whats happening there, and close your eyes from all the complains (i believe not only us who complained too much) you better close and destroy the hotel instead"

If you looking for a resort to relax and peace your mind, this is the resort to choose for. You will get impress of the stunning view just after you step in the lobby area. It was one of my favorite resort where had been choose to stay in this resort for more than 5 times.
The Room is large and spacious with wooden Malay Style design. The last we visit, we had been upgraded to seafacing room with jacuzzi as a recognition of SPG Elite member. The room come with separate living room which made our stay more comfortable.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Duggery57 So disappointing
I cannot believe this hotel comes under The Sheraton umbrella. Everywhere you look, work needs to be done. Walking around the pool deck is so dangerous with rotting timbers everywhere. Half or more of the sun lounges you can't lie on. Gym equipment doesn't work; spa no longer works. Breakfast was very average with very sullen looking staff. So very, very disappointing.

It's signatifcant not enough for demanding especially for breakfast time at 8.00a.m. in
your fest restuarant, by the way, there is no one to pay attention for your room accessory, e.g. towel for face & hand, especially, the used item left everywhere in bath room but no boby will go to take it out & cleaning.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jack300 Great Eco - Resort
This was a great for an eco resort and should be marketed as such. The surrounds are amazing with the wildlife and view.
We were a little disappointed with the lack of eating facilities within the resort (two of the three restuarants were closed for renovation). We ate at Feast one night for a "Tastes of Malaysia" evening but the choices of buffet food available were few and far between and no Beef Rendang which I thought would have been a must at a Taste of Malaysia buffet. Some of the food service at the morning breakfast buffet also requires attention.
Yes the resort is a little run down but there is evidence that the maintenance crews are getting around to fix things up.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Tareyton Very rundown
This hotel is in need of a complete refurbishment. The rooms and grounds are very rundown and not properly cared for. All interior spaces need a paint job. The lobby furniture is all soiled. Certain portions of the grounds looked abandoned with waist high grass and weeds everywhere. The deck around the pool area is filled with rotted boards. Water didn't work in some of the sinks in the restaurant with the breakfast buffet. only one of three urinals worked in the restroom by the pool. General cleanliness in common areas was lacking. One morning plates in the breakfast buffet area had dead mosquitoes on them. Staff was very nice but Sheraton should be embarrassed that this property is part of their chain.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Virginie90 Improvements are urgently needed
The site more than likely once had great potential, I suppose. Most of the hotel facilities are worn down by time, weather and neglect to update and to keep it in top shape.
Our most serious concern is with the quality and the cost of the food. We ate there three times and regretted it every time. It's just not tasty, fresh and lacks preparation. The site is also very far from any other food restaurant or outlet. Given the choice, we would not have eaten there at all after our first experience.
The staff from in all the departments were very pleasant and friendly. Good for them.

Hotel is right on the sea with lots of wildlife on grounds. We saw monkeys, large 4' long lizard coming in from sea in the evening and getting on the rocks. We also saw flying squirrels right before sunrise. Staff wer all amazing. We had a fabulous long weekend very stress free which was our main mission.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Sabahan Very tired hotel
We booked this hotel because it was part of the Sheraton group and we expected a certain standard from Sheraton. We were most disappointed and appalled at the condition of the hotel. Upon arrival at the lobby for check in, we were already taken aback by the state of the hotel. We arrived at about 2 pm but were requested to wait until 3 pm for the proper check in time. There were missing towels and bottled water in the room when we managed to get our rooms. Buildings had rotten wood. Gardens were very poorly maintained. Cushions at the lobby were stained. Wallpaper peeling.

Rated 2 out of 5 by LAV2014 Greatly Disappointed
The quality of hotel was generally poor, the ambiance did not reflect the Sheraton brand. The room was poorly maintained, significant markings on the floor and furniture and room interior was very tired and required a full upgrade.
Food for the buffet breakfast was below expectation and the dining area was also tired with visible water leak marks on the ceiling and damaged furniture visible. WiFi was also not working in the rooms which was a great disappointment.
Staff was friendly and I would like to mention Mr Raja who advised my partner and myself on different attraction on the island of Koh Lipe and greater Langkawi. I did not feel the luxury or experience of Sheraton demonstrated during my stay at the Langkawi Sheraton Resort.
Overall I would not be recommending this hotel to any family and friends and I will also be posting similar reviews on trip advisor.

Rated 1 out of 5 by GAV2211 Overall very poor and run-down
My family and I stayed recently at the Sheraton Langkawi for two nights. We had previously stayed here some seven years ago and found the hotel very nice and comfortable.
To our horror, the hotel is now extremely run-down and in a sorry state, although prices remain very high. The food and service is equally bad (except for one or two of the staff who tried their best to assist us). Buffet breakfast was not up to mark at all for a luxury hotel. The sofas and carpet in the lobby were dirty and visibly stained. The ceiling in the restaurant called feast was also in poor condition. And the restrooms in the lobby and restaurant were not sufficiently clean, as expected of a hotel of this kind.
The only thing which was nice was the natural beauty/forest surrounding the hotel which really has got nothing to do with the hotel and management.
Bathrooms in the bedrooms look very old and the flush was not functioning well. Water pressure from the shower was extremely high. Amenities were very average. A/C is outdated and unable to control the room temperature. Either too cold or stuffy. Even the staff could not assist us with this.
The hotel doesn't have sufficient number of channels on satellite TV. Neither does it have a sports bar. As a result, my dad and I had to go to Pantai Cenang to catch a live BPL football match.
I will most certainly not be returning to this hotel and I suggest that the Sheraton management look into this matter seriously, as this is damaging to the Sheraton name and reputation.

Rated 1 out of 5 by CaptBillK Renovation Needed Now!
This aging dowager has slipped off a Clift. The lobby and dining facilities are modern and attractive but the rooms are in really bad shape. The floors creak, there are no shelves in the showers and no anti slip mats on the slippery tile floors. Lighting fixture in the bathroom was about to fall down I killed a centipede one evening and was bit by mosquitoes all three nights of my stay. It took forever to get hot water to come to the shower. Towels service is marginal and one day the housekeeper forgot to replace the towels in my bathroom - I had none. I'm surprised Sheraton allows its logo to be used with this hotel. Until this place is renovated I would not recommend a stay there for anyone. The staff was friendly and professional.

No major challenge. Had a great pleasant stay. Good for retreat but I would like to suggest if possible not to allow the taxi driver to sit at your valet/concierge area. I don't see the purpose or reason for them to be there. They are not smiling and it might project a poor image of your hotel.

Rated 3 out of 5 by montpelier Pool and decking
We are Seniors who have stayed here on several occasions before. We are not very active so are happy to spend much of our time relaxing around the pool.
We found the decking area quite unsettling as it had many protuding nails and some planks very loose or rotten This needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. Some paint would also improve the general area considerably.
As usual staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Would have liked better access to computer for emails etc. during our visit.

The hotel didn't meet my expectations.
There is a big different among the staff. While some of them are extremelly professional, others seem to be amateurs.
The house keeping never left a face towel. If i wanted one, I had to call the front desk and wait for 30 min.
When I asked for something, the first question at the front desk was: "did you make your reservation directly or through an agent?"
Since my reservation was done via Orbitz, they didn't even care to help me.
Put it simple: overpriced.

Rated 3 out of 5 by JDE1234 Improvement needed
Overall the hotel is not too bad, however, would prefer if the hotel able to improve on following:
1) Check in process
I was too early to check in (around 12:30PM) since my kids is with me. Room only ready around 2:30pm. Understand there will be many guest stay over weekend and i believe hotel management able to plan further where to check is there any possible of changing the room from King size bed to 2 queen size bed.
2) Breakfast choice is limited
I would suggest more variety of breakfast should be provided.
3) Room cleanliness need improvement
Sofa and floor is not very clean.
4) Not convenient to go around the hotel
Shuttle is on call basis and not immediately reach guest room. Hence, this is not really convenient to hotel guest.
In my opinion, the room rate does not meet my expectation.

Rated 3 out of 5 by HKNg Return Holiday
My wife and I were last here in 2010. For our return visit, I brought more family members. The Resort has visibly aged, and the grounds, particularly near the water, were neglected and unkempt, with many tree limbs, branches, palm leaves and cononuts lying where they fell. I had seen work groups tending the grounds the last time, but they were obviously absent (due to cost cutting?). The buildings need a new coat of paint and some face-lift. The rooms too can be smartened up.

Having spent the 5 nights previous in a 4* hotel in Penang our expectations were high. How disappointed we were. We had booked 4 rooms for a big family reunion holiday,on arrival 2 of the rooms were totally uninhabitable,the other 2 in need of basics such as working aircon and handles on doors.The staff tried their best to make things better for us but it was hard to ignore the state of the hotel, broken decking around the pool, mouse droppings in the restaurant to name a few.

I've been staying in this hotel for many times. Recent times, I got the renovated room. The furniture is poorly done and it downgraded your hotel image and branding. The furniture looks like Four Points Sheraton standard. WC and toilet, been very old and no renovation for it. I like the hotel location and it is very peaceful. However, you should really do something about your room.
Breakfast was horrible. Staff wasn't really serving us with a happy face.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Darren Nice setting
Overall the hotel and its facilities are great.
The general manager though should be ashamed of himself. How on earth he is in charge of a hotel with the Sheraton name is a mystery to me.
The check in was a night mare. The staff apparently following his instructions, of not allowing us to check in until 3pm, when being processed at 12.30pm. So much for SPG privileges . If it was busy, i wouldnt have mentioned it, but the hotel was 56% full.
The Captain's Grill restaurant was closed on saturday night (for renovations), that was a lie. Was open on Sunday night and the manager, appointed one staff member, to greet people at the door, seat them , take the orders and deliver the meals, bills etc. Honestly, the supposed signature Hotel Restaurant with one staff member doing everything. It was like Fawlty Towers, but at least Basil would chip in and help.

I've been visting this Hotel cause I've been spending my holiday on Camping Belvedere (opposite side) for years as I was a child. The lake itself isn't my first place to go nowadays.

Bow Down, b*tches—Queen Bee is in the building. Sick of the constant shade being thrown in her direction, Beyoncé puts jealous haters in their place on a new single, released Sunday without warning via her official site. Along with her brash new brand of swagger, Bey exhibits a brash disregard for songwriting conventions. After an opening third aimed at the singer's pale imitators (including, many have speculated, Keri Hilson), the Hit-Boy-produced cut switches gears for I Been On, a syrupy-slow second movement which finds Knowles celebrating her H-Town roots through a pitch-lowering studio effect. Gritty and stylistically audacious, this single will undoubtedly leave fans wondering what else Beyoncé has up her sleeve. The project to which this joint is attached as yet lacks a drop date, but we'll keep you supplied with further details and song releases as they emerge.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
Search for "Champagne, bubbles and drunk," and you'll get headlines like "Why Bubbles Make You More Giggly." But when we took a close look at the science supporting the urban legend, we weren't impressed. The effect doesn't happen to everyone, and when it does, it's just temporary.
Here are a few things to look for if you're trying to distinguish the age of your bottle of bubbly or the method by which it was made. And if you just want to get the most bang for your buck when it comes to preserving the bubbles, consider how you pour.
If you're purchasing a sparkling wine this holiday season, it's easy to keep it local. After all, some of the finest American choices are produced in our own backyard. Following is a list of my top-ten local sparkling wine choices. Half of these wineries are set in Carneros, an area that covers parts of both Sonoma and Napa Valley that is perfectly suited for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape growing (the two varietals most commonly used for sparkling wines). The other half are located in other parts of Napa and the Anderson Valleys.
It's almost New Years Eve, and you know what that means — a lot of folks will be getting their drink on. If you have a gluten sensitivity, it doesn't mean you need to miss the revelry. A lot of hard alcohol is naturally gluten-free, and for those not into hitting the hard stuff, there are quite a lot of companies making gluten-free beer and cider.
Raise a toast to Sparkling Citrus Gelée, a New Year's Eve-worthy dessert that can be eaten by just about everyone at your dinner party, and that looks gorgeous to boot.
I'm inaugurating a wine blog today on Bay Area Bites. It's a labor of love for me. I worked for a decade in the wine trade in the seventies and eighties, in New York City, San Francisco, and the Napa Valley. I've kept a toehold in the industry since then, while working as a news editor, reporter and anchor at KQED Public Radio. I still get a thrill from tasting great wine, or decent wine that's a great value; and my cup runneth over with suggestions. People look at me strangely ("Is this nut coming on to me?") when I make recommendations in the liquor aisle at Safeway. So this blog will provide a more acceptable outlet for my tasting notes. I'll try to avoid numbers, and talk about how these wines behave on the lunch or dinner table, where they belong. I did a bubbly tasting not long ago; and with New Year Eve upon us, I wanted to share my thoughts, and those of my guests, on what we liked.

Baguette that actually tastes authentic
- 26
- Follow
The most authentic baguette I've had in Philly is from Parc. But if I'm not in center city, I'll grab one at Metropolitan and I'm sorry to say....the crust isn't crisp as it should be. Any suggestions for where else a really good baguette can be found (other than France!). Thank you.
re: bucksguy14
I can't speak for the French Authenticity of it, but I do love St. Peter's Bakery baguettes!
Parc makes one of the best loaves in the city along with Modo Mio and Vetri. Have not found a baguette anywhere in city that comes close to French baguette. In NY easy, here not so. Did not find Artisan Boulanger to work for me. Crispy crust. still a little too dense, similar in style to those l would get in Hanoi; again not bad, just not what l am looking for. My ideal was in movie 'Diva' where Richard Boehringer opens the baguette and it is empty inside, perfect for me.

Adorable Animation Illustrates the Flavours of Volcanoes

Edit Your Page |
The primary objective in mind while creating this home page and family tree intends to devote special attention to honor as well as preserve the memory of "The Conrad Family of Bartholomew County, Indiana", both living and deceased. The goal aspired for the completed project is to be printed in book-type format to be presented as a gift to the surviving family members. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The discovery of intriguing details revealed coincidentally by unexpected sources while searching grave sites at a church cemetery, became the inspiration for expanding the project. Namely, the discovery of (4) marked graves beneath a cedar tree located by a creek on private property situated in Wayne Twp, known as "The Conrad Family Cemetery". This finding alone certainly provided a more personal depth to the project @ influenced a variety of additional miscellaneous historical info to also be included. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: THIS SITE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION & WILL BE UPDATED PERIODICALLY WITH NEW PICTURES & ADDITIONAL INFO UNTIL COMPLETED. |

A new NBA: Silver creates media panel
Published February 3, 2014, Page 1
An exclusive negotiating window for the NBA's current media partners does not open for another year, sources said. But the league has told ESPN and Turner executives that they plan to start negotiating a new deal in the second half of the current season.
■ Why Mark Tatum got the nod as deputy commissioner
■ Digital properties, TV synergy will keep NBA with Turner
The league recently informed teams about the creation of the media committee, saying it will "provide direction to the League Office and be involved in the negotiations."
Silver's creation of the seven-member group is a first step to those negotiations, with the committee providing a cross-section of the NBA's landscape. There are executives from both small and large markets, with Utah's Greg Miller and Chicago's Michael Reinsdorf included. The selections also provide a range of media experience — from cable distribution and programming (New York's James Dolan) to digital distribution and programming (Washington's Ted Leonsis). Boston's Wyc Grousbeck, San Antonio's Peter Holt and Oklahoma City's Clay Bennett round out the group, bringing their diverse business backgrounds, their teams' varied market sizes and their history with key league-level decisions.
The committee will work with Silver and new NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum in representing teams as the league looks to land a new deal expected to be a windfall for the owners.
ESPN and Turner have 2 1/2 years remaining on their eight-year, $7.5 billion deal that expires after the 2015-16 season. But sources with both media companies have said that they would like to renegotiate their deals early to keep the NBA from taking its rights to the open market — where the presence of other media companies like Fox Sports Group and NBC Sports Group could create a bidding war.
On the NBA's side, it is interested in cutting a deal early to take advantage of the current red-hot market for live sports TV rights. There's no certainty that the market will be as strong, or that there will be as many serious bidders, if the league waits until 2016.
The new deal stands at the top of Silver's to-do list as he begins his tenure as NBA commissioner. That transfer from Stern to Silver officially occurred this past Saturday.

Concord Music Group News
NEWS 26 Feb 2010
JONNY LANG TAKES CENTER STAGE ON FIRST EVER LIVE ALBUM Live at the Ryman captures blues guitarist in an electrifying performance in Nashville, Tennessee On sale April 20, 2010
Live at the Ryman captures blues guitarist in
an electrifying performance in Nashville, Tennessee
On sale April 20, 2010
While still in his teens in the mid 1990s, Jonny Lang exploded onto the national scene with a combination of highly developed blues guitar chops and a powerful voice that rivaled some musicians more than twice his age. And that was just the beginning. Fifteen years and a half-dozen studio albums later, he has evolved into a seasoned musician and a road-savvy showman capable of delivering powerful live performances on his home soil and just about every other continent on the globe.
On April 20, 2010 Concord Records captures that passion and energy with the release of Live at the Ryman, Lang's first record since 2006's Turn Around, which earned him a Grammy® Award for Best Gospel Album. Recorded at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, in the summer of 2008, Live at the Ryman, Lang's first ever live recording, offers a compelling glimpse of a young guitarist at the height of his creative powers, yet still open to exploring the depth and range of the blues and its relationship to R&B, soul, rock, gospel, funk and so may other emotionally riveting forms of music.
Backed by the five-man crew of guitarist/vocalist Sonny Thompson, keyboardist Tommy Barbarella, bassist Jim Anton, drummer Barry Alexander and percussionist/vocalist Jason Eskridge, Lang burns through a dozen songs first heard on studio albums dating back to 1997. This time, though, the songs heat up in the kind of pressure-cooker setting that can only take shape in the vibrant Nashville club scene.
The Ryman says Lang, is "one of those magical places where you just can't help but be inspired. I think a lot of that magic and inspiration makes it way onto this recording. It's a collection of some of the best songs from our studio recordings - only more energized, thanks to a great group of musicians and a very receptive live audience."
The set opens with the triple punch of "One Person At a Time," "Bump in the Road" and "Turn Around" - songs that reflect Lang's ever-evolving spiritual side. "In my own life, music has been such a powerful force, and I know that's the case for a lot of people," he says. "I've seen how music can give people the strength to change. After years of witnessing that, it's become more of a focus for me to write songs that really count."
Later, Lang and company churn their way through "A Quitter Never Wins," a song by veteran bluesman Tinsley Ellis that's been a consistent entry in Lang's live show for many years.
The set reaches its coda with "Breakin' Me," a melancholy ballad that segues into a burning rendition of "Lie To Me" - Lang's very first hit in 1997, and a song that continues to define him as a lead figure in the blues for a new century.
In many respects, Live at the Ryman is the record that Lang wanted to make all along - one that paints a vivid picture of a performer and a band who understand the significance of the blues as not only an art form unto itself, but as the wellspring for every meaningful and enduring form of music to follow.
"I've wanted to do a live record for a long time, because I feel like our band is strongest in the live setting," says Lang. "I think this record is a good representation of our live show, and an accurate reference for people who haven't seen us yet. Hopefully it will be an inspiration for them to come out and see us."

Paul Oberkotter, a former chief executive of the United Parcel Service, died on March 16 at his apartment in Manhattan. He was 93.
In 1925, Mr. Oberkotter began his career at U.P.S., then a fledgling package delivery outfit, as a stenographer-clerk. A native of Chadron, Neb., who moved to New York in 1938, Mr. Oberkotter had a high school education and learned the logistics of the delivery business on the job. He rose through the ranks and is credited with playing a significant role in guiding U.P.S. through tremendous expansion.
He was president of the company for 10 years until 1972, when he was named chairman and chief executive. He served in that capacity for only a year, but remained as chairman of the company's executive committee until 1980 and continued to serve on its board of directors until 1994. When he resigned from the board he had been a director for 51 years.
Mr. Oberkotter is survived by his daughter, Mildred L., of Palo Alto, Calif.; a daughter-in-law, Joyce Oberkotter, widow of his son, Robert, of Newport, N.H.; three grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. His wife, Louise, died in 1987.

White mould, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a major disease problem of green beans.
It can cause yield losses by premature plant death through lower stem infection and/or infection of beans. Crops with greater than 8% Sclerotinia are rejected due to difficulties in processing. Benomyl (Benlate) and procymidone (Sumisclex) are the two fungicide products currently registered for use to control Sclerotinia disease on beans.
In recent years, field officers and growers have noted poor control of this disease. It is not clear whether this relates to fungicides used, spray application, crop density, spray timing, fungal resistance to fungicides, or other factors.

NORMAN — The country will be stronger after the recent presidential election, PBS news anchorwoman Judy Woodruff told a crowd at the University of Oklahoma on Monday night.
Nation will be stronger after election, PBS anchorwoman Judy Woodruff tells crowd at the University of Oklahoma
The reason is simple, Woodruff said — the country is nearly always stronger after presidential elections, no matter who wins.
A presidential election is a "giant political earthquake," Woodruff said. Elections give the electorate a chance to voice their opinions, and they give policymakers a better idea of how the public thinks on certain issues. In that regard, she said, they can be clarifying events.
The country has been plagued by partisan rancor for the past several years, Woodruff said, but she expects to see lawmakers become more willing to find solutions that are acceptable to both sides.
"The country will survive after the election," she said. "I do believe that we will work together as a country."
Woodruff, a senior correspondent and anchorwoman for "PBS NewsHour," discussed the impact of President Barack Obama's re-election on the country's future Monday at a President's Associates dinner at OU.
During the speech, Woodruff said she expects to see real tax reform. Exit polls showed 68 percent of Americans favored raising income taxes on all taxpayers to shore up the nation's fiscal situation, she said. That sentiment among the electorate will give lawmakers an incentive to get things done.

new toy - enigma
I usually don't post things like this but, I just picked up a new enigma from soaring usa, and after staring at her for about a week I have decided to share her with my cyberspace friends. I think that you may understand why I enjoy looking at a plane so much even though my wife thinks that I am a little off...
From what I was told this plane is part of a new batch that have a full carbon wing, not just a dbox like previous ones, I can say that the wing is super stiff and feels really solid. The fuse feels really solid as well. Anyway I think I am in love, even though I haven't flown her yet but I figured 2 things would happen if I posted a couple of pics. 1. I would get it rigged quicker because someone would hammer me for letting it sit around for a week and not starting on it. 2. You guys might enjoy seeing my new ride. Also I want to send a big thanks to Alex, Annette, Bob, and Mike at SUSA - all of them had helped my friend and I with something by the time that we left. Also if you have weak will power don't go there, they have way too many cool things just lying around on tables ie. abolutes, surprises, raketenwurms, etc...

I vote purpose. Somehow, some way all that we go through is preparation for something that is coming up ahead.
Life is long. You can fall in love at any time. The only people who can go through life alone even if they want to have to consciously decide to and make efforts to do so. Try not isolating yourself and be around people. That should work.
I do not think that anyone was meant to go through life sad lonely and alone, I think that is why there are more people alive, other than us. I could say that if I was alone and no one else existed but that isn't true.

I could sadly say that if someone has believed this is true for their own lives then I pray that God would touch their lives with His love, which lets them know that they are not alone when others are hurting them, that they are loved when everyone hates them without reason and they have a real purpose, if they live for God/others, unselfishly, in this world.
If life has no purpose then no one is "meant to" do anything. Being sad or happy is up to you.

In his Friday sermon on January 15, the well-known Yemeni Islamist and U.S. designated terrorism supporter Shaykh Abd al-Majid al-Zindani called for jihad to defend Yemen in the event of a foreign military intervention. Al-Zindani noted that some American media reports said the "Yemeni regime is about to collapse and U.S. forces and Marines should intervene to protect oil sources in Yemen." Al-Zindani considered such media reports (which he did not cite specifically) a declaration of war by the United States. Al-Zindani announced, "As soon as the enemy comes down into our land and comes to colonize us, jihad is obligatory according to our religion… This ruling is from Allah; no one can abolish it; neither king, president, commander, scholar, not anyone" (al-Jazeera TV, January 15; Ennahar Online, January 15).
Al-Zindani's remarks came a day before the shaykh and 149 other Yemeni clerics issued a fatwa in the name of the "Association of Scholars of the Yemen" declaring that jihad is "fard ayn" (a compulsory duty) in the event of military intervention in the country, and thus rejecting any military cooperation with Washington, the use of Yemeni territory for foreign military bases, and Yemen's commitment to any security or military agreements that are contrary to Islamic Shari'a (Al-Bawaba, January 14; Asharq al-Awsat, January 14). In what appears to be a reference to strikes on foreign nationals by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), the fatwa also condemns the killing of innocent people, whether Yemenis or foreigners who work or live legally in the country. Furthermore, the fatwa strongly condemns the "bloodshed" in Abyan province, Shabwa province and the city of Arhab (Lahij province). [1] These last three tribal southern areas of Yemen recently witnessed several missile attacks against al-Qaeda members.
Regardless of the probability of a U.S. military invasion of Yemen, the increasing importance of Yemen is obvious from the security perspective of the United States, particularly after the foiled Christmas Day suicide attack on a Detroit-bound passenger plane, which was "prepared" in Yemen. Yemen has also emerged as a safe haven for Salafi-Jihadi militants. The growing importance of Yemen's national security comes as the U.S. administration of President Barack Obama expresses reluctance to open another front in the "war on terror", just as the occupation of Iraq is drawing down, and a new focus is being put on military operations in Afghanistan. U.S. president Barack Obama announced through People Magazine on January 10 that he had no intention of sending U.S. troops into Yemen.
However, the reaction to the Detroit incident shows that a shift in U.S. policy remains possible; until then, the United States will give a greater role to the U.S. military base in Djibouti in the fight against al-Qaeda in Yemen and Somalia. In November, 2002 the leader of al-Qaeda in Yemen, Sinan Qa'id al-Harthi (a.k.a. Abu Ali al-Harthi) was killed by a U.S. Predator drone launched from Djibouti (Asharq al-Awsat, January 19, 2003).
However, such a role might also be in the interest of al-Qaeda and affiliated Salafi-Jihadi groups. In contrast to the U.S. strategic vision, the Salafi-Jihadis and al-Qaeda hope to lure U.S troops to the region as al-Qaeda's new strategy is based on the creation of multiple safe havens instead of a single safe haven. The policy is designed to attrite the U.S. on multiple fronts, with Yemen lying in the center of these safe havens (see Terrorism Monitor, September 10, 2009).
The entry of the clerics in Yemen to the growing crisis, regardless of whether they are linked to al-Qaeda or not, indicates the development of an environment that is sympathetic to the growing presence of al-Qaeda. Among the factors that helped al-Qaeda to find a foothold in Yemen is their integration with the tribal structure in southern Yemen. A review of the names of those affiliated with al-Qaeda in Yemen show that a respectable number of them are from the southern tribes. The Salafi-Jihadis failed in Iraq and Chechnya, for instance, because they lost the support of their local host communities. According to the Yemeni government, al-Qaeda was in the process of appointing a parallel system of al-Qaeda "provincial governors" (much as the Taliban have done in Afghanistan) before recent air strikes on al-Qaeda leaders disrupted the process (Asharq al-Awsat, January 14).
Al-Qaeda's tribal alliances and the ideological convergence with local forces in Yemen are playing to the interests of al-Qaeda. This trend may be reinforced by changing security conditions as well as Yemen's unique political and socio-economic factors. Al-Qaeda considers Yemen important because, among other factors, it can serve as a base to launch attacks on neighboring Gulf States. Across the strategic Bab al-Mandaab strait there is also proximity to other Salafi-Jihadi groups such as al-Shabaab in Somalia. All of these factors show that the presence of al-Qaeda in Yemen has regional and international implications and there is every prospect that the conflict between al-Qaeda and the United States will escalate there.
