From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Daniel Ken "Dan" Inouye (Japanese: 井上 建 Hepburn: Inoue Ken?, pronounced /iːˈnoʊwɛ/ ē-NOH-weh; September 7, 1924 – December 17, 2012) was a Medal of Honor recipient, a recipient (posthumously) of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a United States Senator from Hawaii, a member of the Democratic Party, and the President pro tempore of the United States Senate from 2010 until his death in 2012,[2] making him the highest-ranking Asian American politician in U.S. history.[3] Inouye was the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations.
A senator since 1963, Inouye was the most senior U.S. senator at the time of his death. He is one of the longest serving U.S. Senators in history, second only to Robert Byrd. Inouye continuously represented Hawaii in the U.S. Congress since it achieved statehood in 1959 until the time of his death, serving as Hawaii's first U.S. Representative and later a senator. Inouye was the first Japanese American to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives and later the first in the U.S. Senate. Before then, he served in the Hawaii territorial house from 1954 to 1958 and the territorial senate from 1958 to 1959. He never lost an election in 58 years as an elected official. At the time of his death, Inouye was the second-oldest sitting U.S. senator, after Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey.
Because of his seniority, following Senator Byrd's death on June 28, 2010, Inouye became President pro tempore of the Senate, making him third in the presidential line of succession after the Vice President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Daniel Inouye was born on September 7, 1924, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the son of Hyotaro and Kame (Imanaga) Onouye.[4] He was a Nisei Japanese American, the son of a Japanese immigrant father and a mother whose parents had immigrated from Japan. He grew up in the Bingham Tract, a Chinese-American enclave in the predominantly Japanese American community of Mōʻiliʻili in Honolulu. Inouye graduated from Honolulu's President William McKinley High School.[5]
During the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Inouye served as a medical volunteer.[6]
In 1943, when the U.S. Army dropped its enlistment ban on Japanese Americans, Inouye curtailed his premedical studies at the University of Hawaii and enlisted in the Army.[6] He volunteered to be part of the segregated all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team.[7] This army unit was mostly made up of second-generation Japanese Americans from Hawaii and the mainland.[8]
Inouye was promoted to sergeant within his first year, and he was assigned as a platoon sergeant. He served in Italy in 1944 during the Rome-Arno Campaign before his regiment was transferred to the Vosges Mountains region of France, where he spent two weeks in the battle to relieve the Lost Battalion, a battalion of the 141st Infantry Regiment that was surrounded by German forces. He was promoted to second lieutenant for his actions there. At one point while he was leading an attack, a shot struck him in the chest directly above his heart, but the bullet was stopped by the two silver dollars he happened to have stacked in his shirt pocket.[9] He continued to carry the coins throughout the war in his shirt pocket as good luck charms, until he lost them shortly before the battle in which he lost his arm.[10]
On April 21, 1945, Inouye was grievously wounded while leading an assault on a heavily-defended ridge near San Terenzo in Tuscany, Italy, called the Colle Musatello. The ridge served as a strongpoint of the German fortifications known as the Gothic Line, the last and most unyielding line of German defensive works in Italy. As he led his platoon in a flanking maneuver, three German machine guns opened fire from covered positions 40 yards away, pinning his men to the ground. Inouye stood up to attack and was shot in the stomach. Ignoring his wound, he proceeded to attack and destroy the first machine gun nest with hand grenades and his Thompson submachine gun. When informed of the severity of his wound, he refused treatment and rallied his men for an attack on the second machine gun position, which he successfully destroyed before collapsing from blood loss.[11]
As his squad distracted the third machine gunner, Inouye crawled toward the final bunker, coming within 10 yards. As he raised himself up and cocked his arm to throw his last grenade, a German soldier inside the bunker fired a rifle grenade, which struck his right elbow, nearly severing most of his arm and leaving his primed grenade reflexively "clenched in a fist that suddenly didn't belong to me anymore".[12] Inouye's horrified soldiers moved to his aid, but he shouted for them to keep back out of fear his severed fist would involuntarily relax and drop the grenade. While the German inside the bunker reloaded his rifle, Inouye pried the live grenade from his useless right hand and transferred it to his left. As the enemy soldier aimed his rifle at him, Inouye tossed the grenade into the bunker and destroyed it. He stumbled to his feet and continued forward, silencing the last German resistance with a one-handed burst from his Thompson before being wounded in the leg and tumbling unconscious to the bottom of the ridge. He awoke to see the worried men of his platoon hovering over him. His only comment before being carried away was to order them back to their positions, saying "nobody called off the war!"[13]
The remainder of Inouye's mutilated right arm was later amputated at a field hospital without proper anesthesia, as he had been given too much morphine at an aid station and it was feared any more would lower his blood pressure enough to kill him.[14]
Although Inouye had lost his right arm, he remained in the military until 1947 and was honorably discharged with the rank of captain. At the time of his leaving the Army, he was a recipient of the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart. Inouye was initially awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his bravery in this action, with the award later being upgraded to the Medal of Honor by President Bill Clinton (alongside 19 other Nisei servicemen who served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and were believed to have been denied proper recognition of their bravery due to their race).[15] His story, along with interviews with him about the war as a whole, were featured prominently in the 2007 Ken Burns documentary The War.[16]
While recovering at Percy Jones Army Hospital from war wounds and the amputation of his right forearm following the grenade wound, Inouye met future Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, then a fellow patient. While at the same hospital, Inouye also met future fellow Democrat and Senator Philip Hart, who had been injured on D-Day. Dole mentioned to Inouye that after the war, he planned to go to Congress; Inouye beat him there by a few years. The two remained lifelong friends. In 2003, the hospital was renamed the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center in honor of the three World War II veterans.[17]
Due to the loss of his arm, Inouye abandoned his plans to become a surgeon,[6] and returned to college to study political science under the G.I. Bill. He graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1950 with a Bachelor of Arts in political science. He earned his law degree from The George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., in 1953 and was elected into the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity.
In 1953, Daniel Inouye was elected to the Hawaii territorial House of Representatives, and was immediately elected majority leader. He served two terms there, and was elected to the Hawaii territorial senate in 1957.
Midway through Inouye's first term in the territorial senate, Hawaii achieved statehood. He won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives as Hawaii's first full member, and took office on August 21, 1959, the same date Hawaii became a state; he was re-elected in 1960.
In 1962, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, succeeding fellow Democrat Oren E. Long.
He was the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee between 1976 and 1979 and Chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee between 1987 and 1995, he introduced the National Museum of the American Indian Act in 1984 and the National Museum of the American Indian was inaugurated in 2004. He was Chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee between 2001 and 2003, Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee between 2007 and 2009 and Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee between 2009 and 2012.
He was reelected eight times, usually without serious difficulty. His closest race was in 1992 when state senator Rick Reed held him to 57 percent of the vote—the only time he received less than 69 percent of the vote. He delivered the keynote address at the turbulent 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago,[6] and gained national attention for his service on the Senate Watergate Committee.
Inouye was also involved in the Iran-Contra investigations of the 1980s, chairing a special committee (Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition) from 1987 until 1989. During the hearings, Inouye referred to the operations that had been revealed as a "secret government" saying:
"[There exists] a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself."[18]
Criticizing the logic of Marine Lt. Colonel Oliver North's justifications for his actions in the affair, Inouye made reference to the Nuremberg trials, provoking a heated interruption from North's attorney Brendan V. Sullivan, Jr., an exchange that was widely repeated in the media at the time. He was also seen as a pro-Taiwan senator, and helped in forming the Taiwan Relations Act.
In 2009, Inouye assumed leadership of the powerful Senate Committee on Appropriations after longtime chairman Robert Byrd stepped down. Following the latter's death on June 28, 2010, Inouye was elected President pro tempore, the officer third in the presidential line of succession.
In 2010, Inouye announced his decision to run for a ninth term.[19] He easily won the Democratic primary—the real contest in this heavily Democratic state—and then trounced Republican state representative Campbell Cavasso with 74 percent of the vote.
Prior to his death, Inouye announced that he planned to run for a record tenth term in 2016, when he would have been 92 years old.[20][21] He also said, "I have told my staff and I have told my family that when the time comes, when you question my sanity or question my ability to do things physically or mentally, I don't want you to hesitate, do everything to get me out of here, because I want to make certain the people of Hawaii get the best representation possible."[22]
On May 23, 2005, Inouye was a member of a bipartisan group of fourteen moderate senators,[citation needed] known as the Gang of 14, to forge a compromise on the Democrats' use of the judicial filibuster, thus blocking the Republican leadership's attempt to implement the "nuclear option",[citation needed] a means of forcibly ending a filibuster. Under the agreement, the Democrats would retain the power to filibuster a Bush judicial nominee only in an "extraordinary circumstance", and the three most conservative Bush appellate court nominees (Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen and William H. Pryor, Jr.) would receive a vote by the full U.S. Senate.[citation needed]
During the campaign in 1992, Inouye's hairdresser was revealed to have alleged that he had forced himself on her and sexually harassed her. But the Republican challenger used this information for his own gains, and voters kept Inouye in office.[23]
Inouye's wife of nearly 57 years, Margaret "Maggie" Awamura Inouye, died of cancer on March 13, 2006. On May 24, 2008, he married Irene Hirano in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills, California. Ms. Hirano was president and founding chief executive officer of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, California. She resigned the position at the time of her marriage in order to be closer to her husband. According to the Honolulu Advertiser, at the time of their wedding Inouye was twenty-four years older than Hirano. On May 27, 2010, Ms. Hirano was elected by the board to chair the nation's second largest non-profit organization The Ford Foundation.[24] Inouye's son Kenny was the guitarist for influential D.C. hardcore punk band Marginal Man.[25]
On May 27, 1947, he was honorably discharged and returned home as a Captain with a Distinguished Service Cross, Bronze Star Medal, 2 Purple Hearts, and 12 other medals and citations. In 2000, his Distinguished Service Cross was upgraded to the Medal of Honor.[33][34][35]

Second Lieutenant Daniel K. Inouye distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 21 April 1945, in the vicinity of San Terenzo, Italy. While attacking a defended ridge guarding an important road junction, Second Lieutenant Inouye skillfully directed his platoon through a hail of automatic weapon and small arms fire, in a swift enveloping movement that resulted in the capture of an artillery and mortar post and brought his men to within 40 yards of the hostile force. Emplaced in bunkers and rock formations, the enemy halted the advance with crossfire from three machine guns. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Second Lieutenant Inouye crawled up the treacherous slope to within five yards of the nearest machine gun and hurled two grenades, destroying the emplacement. Before the enemy could retaliate, he stood up and neutralized a second machine gun nest. Although wounded by a sniper's bullet, he continued to engage other hostile positions at close range until an exploding grenade shattered his right arm. Despite the intense pain, he refused evacuation and continued to direct his platoon until enemy resistance was broken and his men were again deployed in defensive positions. In the attack, 25 enemy soldiers were killed and eight others captured. By his gallant, aggressive tactics and by his indomitable leadership, Second Lieutenant Inouye enabled his platoon to advance through formidable resistance, and was instrumental in the capture of the ridge. Second Lieutenant Inouye's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.[36]
In 2012 Inouye began using a wheelchair in the Senate to preserve his knees, and received an oxygen concentrator to aid his breathing. In November 2012, he suffered a minor cut after falling in his apartment and was treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.[37] On December 6, he was again hospitalized at George Washington University Hospital so doctors could further regulate his oxygen intake, and was transferred to Walter Reed Medical Center on December 10. He died there of respiratory complications seven days later on December 17, 2012.[38][39] According to the senator's Congressional web site, his last word was "Aloha".[40] Prior to his death, Inouye left a letter encouraging Governor Neil Abercrombie to appoint Colleen Hanabusa to succeed Inouye should he become incapacitated;[41] instead Abercrombie appointed Hawaii's Lieutenant Governor Brian Schatz.[42][43]
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Inouye's death on the floor of the Senate, referring to Inouye as "certainly one of the giants of the Senate." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell referred to Inouye as one of the finest senators in United States history.[44] President Barack Obama referred to him as a "true American hero."[45]
Inouye's body lay in state at the United States Capitol rotunda on December 20, 2012; only the 31st person – and first Asian-American – so honored.[46] President Obama, former President Bill Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker John Boehner spoke at a funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral on December 21. Inouye's body was then flown to Hawaii, where it lay in state at the Hawaii State Capitol on December 22. A second funeral service was held at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu the following day.[47][48][49]

A lasting memory of Mel
Mel Torme seemed to get better and better with age. No doubt that would have stopped and reversed into decline at some point (as happened to Sinatra). But a stroke brought an abrupt halt to Mel's singing career, leaving us with memories of the singer and musician at his best. In what turned out to be his last recording, Mel treats us with what he did best -- play before a live audience. Given what the circumstances turned out to be, it seemed particularly poignant that Mel paid tribute to the then recently departed Ella Fitzgerald and then brought the show to a close with Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye. A great disc with great memories of a wonderful singer.

text: THEFOODDOCTOR™ FACT FILE HYPERACTIVITY What is hyperactivity? Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are becoming more and more common. Orthodox treatment includes prescription medications such as the psychostimulant Ritalin which may well be effective at suppressing symptoms but does not address the underlying physiological issues. With symptoms such as violent mood swings, disruptive and destructive behavior, temper tantrums, poor concentration and learning difficulties hyperactivity and ADD can leave parents feeling exhausted and totally overwhelmed. However, relief may be found through nutrition. Research has shown that children suffering from ADD or hyperactivity often experience symptoms as a direct result of exposure to specific foods and synthetic substances. Common food intolerances along with yellow food colorings, salicylates, sugar, caffeine and heavy metal toxicity are all known to cause a reaction. Common deficiencies such as low zinc status and low dietary omega-3 essential fats have been noted for both these conditions. A nutrition consultant can help to identify which of these factors trigger symptoms for your child and help you take steps to eliminate these from your childs diet or lifestyle. You may be surprised at how quickly behavior changes can be noticed by simply sticking to a few nutritional guidelines. DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS Foods to Avoid CARBOHYDRATES FATS PROTEINS FLUIDS Avoid all refined carbohydrates, sweets and confectionary which disrupt blood sugar balance giving energy bursts and dips, poor concentration, mood swings and hyperactivity. Avoid saturated fats and hydrogenated oils found in margarines, butter, hard cheese and ice cream which increase inflammation and interfere with brain function. Limit protein which is high in saturated fat such as red meat and cheese. Avoid shark, swordfish, marlin and tuna which are high in the heavy metal, mercury. Avoid caffeine, high sugar soft drinks, undiluted fruit juices and carbonated drinks. For some children small amounts of caffeine a day is enough to trigger hyperactivity and disturbed sleep. Colourings are the main additives of concern and yellow/orange food dyes called tartrazine and sunset yellow (E102, E110) are the main culprits. Avoid brightly coloured orange/yellow processed foods, drinks and confectionary. Salicylates are naturally occurring aspirin like substances which children suffering from hyperactivity have been found to be sensitive to. Foods containing salicylates include — oranges, almonds, apples, apricots, tomatoes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers, grapes, nectarines, tangerines, peaches, plums, peppers, prunes, raisins include wheat, dairy, yeast, citrus fruits and nuts FOOD ADDITIVES SALICYLATES FOOD INTOLERANCES In some children food intolerances are at the root of their hyperactivity. Common culprits For more information about this or other conditions, to book a consultation or to speak to Ian Marber, The Food Doctor, please call our Holland Park Clinic on: FREE PHONE 0800 093 5877 www.thefooddoctor.com © The Food Doctor 2003 Foods to Increase CARBOHYDRATES FATS Increase consumption of whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, oats, rye) pulses, beans, fruits and vegetables to provide a nutrient dense source of calories. The omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids found in nuts, seeds and oily fish (salmon, mackerel, pilchards, herrings, sardines) are vital for brain function, concentration, memory, mood and IQ. Increase intake of high quality protein from chicken, game, fish and vegetable sources including lentils, pulses, nuts, seeds and tofu. Increase intake of both soluble and insoluble fibre from oats, oat bran, flax seeds, lentils, pulses, prunes, figs, fruits and vegetables. Fibre is important for blood sugar balance. Sufficient water should be drunk to prevent dehydration, the amount needed depends on age and level of activity, ensure water is always available — for variety, drink diluted fruit juices, organic vegetables juices and herbal teas. PROTEIN FIBRE FLUIDS Lifestyle Recommendations STRESS TOXICITY Stress and emotional trauma can be a factor for behavioural problems. Identify any areas of stress and consider seeking the advice of a counsellor. Removing all sources of toxicity is of major importance. Use bio-degradable cleaning products, filter your child s water or use bottled water, avoid using tinned or processed foods. Heavy metals such as lead (traffic fumes), mercury (fillings), cadmium (cigarette smoke) and aluminium (cooking pans & deodorants) also affect brain function and have been associated with hyperactivity. Heavy metal toxicity can be assessed using a Hair Mineral Analysis test (available for your Nutrition Consultant). Avoid food additives such as colourings, preservatives, flavour enhancers and pesticide residues by eating organic, fresh, home cooked food. ORGANIC FOOD Nutrient Rich Foods for Hyperactivity SELENIUM Required for detoxification. Foods include - mushrooms, mung beans, kidney beans, green lentils, brown lentils, hummus, black eye beans, shrimp, prawns, lobster, crab, sardines, mackerel, broccoli, kidney, trout, herrings, lemon sole, place, cod, brown rice, onions, tomatoes, brazil nuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and cashews Vital for brain function and calm mood. Foods include - Quorn, peas, tofu, chickpeas, prawns, squid, chicken, turkey, lean red meat, white fish, oatcakes, oats, brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat noodles, pine nuts, cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds, crab, lobster and sardines Essential for blood sugar balance, energy production and brain function. Foods include brown rice, lentils, pulses, oats, rye, bananas, nuts and seeds Low levels of iron can result in poor delivery of oxygen to the brain. Foods include — lean red meat, spinach, parsley, kale, spinach, spring greens, lentils, sardines, shrimp, oatcakes, rye bread, quinoa, watercress, sesame seeds and cashews ZINC B-COMPLEX IRON More information can be found in the 'Food Doctor Babies and Children' book by Vicki Edgson available from The Food Doctor website www.thefooddoctor.com For more information about this or other conditions, to book a consultation or to speak to Ian Marber, The Food Doctor, please call our Holland Park Clinic on: FREE PHONE 0800 093 5877 www.thefooddoctor.com © The Food Doctor 2003

This is the third post about Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey which the BHPL book group will discuss on Friday, May 2 at 10:30 a.m.
Having left all our faithful blog readers at the point where I had read the first three chapters online, I then read three more chapters using the actual hard copy this time and felt there was no difference in the reading experience other than the relative comfort of my sofa versus computer chair. In chapters three to five we find that our heroine, the naive and overly-imaginative Catherine Morland, meets the worldly social-climber Isabella Thorpe and they become fast friends who share a love of "horrid" (ie: gothic) novels. We read Austen's Defense of the Novel which famously posits that novel reading is just as respectable and worthwhile as reading other forms of literature. And we find Isabella's list of scary/romantic/gothic/"horrid" novels which she recommends to Catherine. The list has become known as the Northanger Canon.
Here are links to websites of interest for readers of Jane Austen's works: (found by searching the Librarians Index to the Internet.)
Jane Austen website from Brandeis University
Jane Austen's World
Hampshire, the Inspirational World of Jane Austen (travel info from the U.K.)
Book a Minute Classics which are very, very short synopses of classic books including the entire works of Jane Austen summarized in several sentences.
I have now finished 25 of the 31 chapters and rather than reinvent a summary, here is a link to a synopsis of the plot from Vanderbilt University by way of the Republic of Pemberly website.
Here is a Reading Group Guide list of discussion questions.

Abstract: In 2010 Jacqueline Low was invited to become an editorial board member of the then new online open-access journal Societies. In that same year, Claudia Malacrida was approached to organize a session on the sociology of the body at the 2012 International Sociological Association (ISA) meetings in Buenos Aries. When the call came in 2011 from Societies for editorial board members to propose topics for special issues of the journal, it was a natural and fortuitous timing of events and we undertook to co-edit this special issue based, in part, on papers from the conference. Because of our shared history of writing about social aspects of the body, we were convinced that both the conference and the journal papers would produce interesting and important advancements in a sub-discipline that is making exciting contributions beyond its borders to social theory and empirical sociological work.

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").

CHICAGO – Maybe it's because I was still young when it came out, but it seems like "Oliver and Company" has been unjustly forgotten by the Disney machine and family audiences in general. The 20th anniversary edition, newly released on DVD, might bring this lost comedy to a new audience.

The DIY Pantry: Make Infused Honeys! Around this time of year, I always start seeing articles on what to do with a glut of herbs that may be growing in your garden.

Homesteaders' Cocktail Recipe: Lovage Simple Syrup Recipes from The Kitchn I spent the Memorial Day weekend with my friend Joe Yonan up in Maine where he is taking a year off from his role as Food and Travel editor of The Washington Post to work on a book about vegetables and live on his sister and brother-in-law's homestead. He's growing his own produce, fetching eggs in the morning from his small gaggle of hens, and living as much as possible off the land. With some gardening experience in my past, I volunteered to venture north and help with some homesteading chores. The very first challenge posed to me was by Joe's sister. She took me out to the garden, pointed at a tall stalky plant I knew to be lovage, and said, "What should we do about this thing?"

'Hedwig' Tickets Most Expensive of Multiple-Tony Nominees
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Six days ago, Hedwig and the Angry Inch came away as one of the big 2014 Tony Award nomination winners. The musical revival has received critical acclaim since opening in March, leading to eight Tony nominations, the second-highest total for a show this year.
It's also been popular with audiences and has been dominating tickets prices on the secondary market.
According to TiqIQ, Hedwig and the Angry Inch tickets have an average price on the secondary market of $376.16 for the lower orchestra level. The average is 48% above the average price of the next most expensive Broadway show to earn at least five nominations. Hedwig benefits from some star power thanks to Neil Patrick Harris in the lead role. The How I Met Your Mother star was nominated for best actor in a musical.
Though Hedwig is making its Broadway debut, it is technically considered a revival of the 1998 off-Broadway version, forcing it to be nominated as Best Revival of a Musical category instead of Best Musical. Its biggest competition in the category will come from the revival of Les Miserables, which has been one of the more expensive shows on the secondary market. Les Miserables tickets have an average price of $228.92 for orchestra level seating.
Hedwig is currently more expensive on the secondary market than some of Broadway's elite. It's currently 14.5% more expensive than the $328.58 average price of Book of Mormon tickets and 49% above the $252.56 average price of Lion King tickets. The only show to receive more nominations than Hedwig and the Angry Inch was A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder with 10 total nominations. To date, Gentleman's Guide has been more popular with the critics than the general public and that's being reflected in the ticket prices. A Gentleman's Guide to to Love & Murder tickets have an average price of $206.12 for the lower orchestra on the secondary market, 45.2% below the average for Hedwig. Beautiful: The Carole King Musical has the second-highest average price on the secondary market price of the leading nomination-getters this year. Nominated for seven Tonys, Beautiful tickets have an average price of $254.02 for lower orchestra seats. The amount of familiar Carole King songs from the 1960s and 1970s has kept the show popular with audiences, but could make it a longshot to win the major awards such as Best Musical.The most expensive non-musical to receive multiple nominations this year was All The Way, with two nominations. The play focused on the early years of Lyndon B. Johnson?s presidency received two nominations, for Best Play and for Best Performance By a Leading Actor. The nominated actor, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, is one of the biggest draws for the show, leading to $221.38 average price for All The Way tickets at the orchestra level. While some of these Broadway tickets would see a boost from a Tony win, critical hits like A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder would stand to benefit more than an already popular show such as Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Though for many shows, the biggest reward comes from just being nominated. As for the Tony awards themselves, they're also a big draw with an average $808 this year, which is more expensive than any of the nominated shows. Over the last three years, Madison Square Garden (MSG)-owned properties have hosted the Tony Awards. In 2011 and 2012, the show was held at the Beacon Theater. In 2013, the show moved to Radio City Music Hall where it was hosted last year and will be again this year. For fans looking to see the show in person, the cheapest price for a ticket is $500.

"Despite the pullback from the 52-week high of $90, the valuation remains aggressive in our opinion."
Greg Vogel
"I'm very encouraged. We were supposed to have this lousy week, but instead we are closing near the highs, despite higher oil."
David Briggs
"Despite the U.S. earnings commencing in earnest this week, the recent inability of indexes to sustain their highs has led many to believe that there is impending weakness. For new highs to be set U.S. companies will have to report superb results, far outstripping expectations and things did not get off to a great start last week."
Angus Campbell
"The paradigm of our current situation remains: the consumer prices also on imported goods stay high despite the value of our own currency. The reason for this is still because our consumer services are served by South African companies, hence the benefits never cross the borders to Namibia but stays with banks and companies in South Africa."
Chief Justus Garoëb
"OPEC is likely to be a critical event next week. A cut in production, however, seems quite unlikely despite slower fourth-quarter U.S. GDP growth out today and a well-supplied market. The specter of oil supply disruption haunts energy markets."
Jason Schenker
"Despite increasing competition for consumers' time and entertainment dollars, theater-going remains a satisfying constant in people's lives."
Dan Glickman
"I remain bullish on shares despite all recent gains as funds are still investing."

Windows Mobile 7 to launch in 2010
Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer said the U.S. software giant would release the next generation of Windows Mobile in 2010.
Ballmer also said the company wouldn't ship the next generation of Microsoft Office until 2010, PC Magazine reported Thursday.
The release of Windows Mobile 7, however, is somewhat of a surprise,
PC Magazine said. The company released its Windows Mobile 6.5 earlier this month.
We've made a nice release announcement last week of Windows Mobile 6.5,
Ballmer said in a transcript of a company meeting released by Microsoft. We're getting more and more synergy with Windows, so the browser improvements, et cetera., should be quite rapid,
he said.
Ballmer also said Microsoft had no plans to move into the mobile phone hardware business.

Setting up a pseudo www.mac.com web server
Yes, there is a legitmate reason why you would do this. It escapes me at the moment but... No, actually, I could see a reason. If your network connection was severed but you needed to back up the files on your Mac, this is a potential life saver. The idea is simple: spoof simulate the .mac servers. Another use here would be setting up iPhoto's built-in web publishing tool (which would go to .mac) to publish to a local server, although there's a ton of work you'd have to do on the server end, in WebObjects, that would be no fun. Anyway, at the end of the day all this is would be a way to probably get in trouble. Don't do it. Neat to see though, isn't it? Nice work Otto.

SodaStream plans comeback with WAR campaign
By Alex Donohue, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 14 March 2008 11:15AM
LONDON - SodaStream plans to make a comeback through an integrated campaign devised by Ware Anthony Rust, involving advertising, PR, digital and trade marketing work.
The home-produced carbonated drinks brand, which rose to popularity during the 1970s and 80s, aims to promote its environmentally friendly features during the campaign as part of a wider move to reintroduce SodaStream to the market.
SodaStream became a popular brand in the UK during the 1970s and early 1980s, where its 17-year slogan, "Get busy with the fizzy", helped make the carbonated drinks maker a mainstay in UK households.
The famous strapline was ditched in 1996, and the brand's last major TV campaign was a Mitchell Paterson Grime Mitchell-created spot featuring comedian Lenny Henry.
WAR's appointment comes after SodaStream kicked off a review in December to reposition the brand towards a more contemporary audience.
Paul Hogben, managing director of SodaClub, the world's largest manufacturer of homemade soda makers, said: "We were extremely impressed with the enthusiasm and charisma that Ware Anthony Rust showed us during the pitch process.
"SodaStream has a fantastic heritage and through careful and impactful communications, we strongly believe we can increase both listings for and consumer uptake of our brand."

Blanton's is a standard for bourbon lovers and it's unique decanter-like bottle has a fixed place in most whiskey collections. The archetypical Blanton's is considered by some a necessary step in the bourbon drinker's palate evolution. Each batch of Blanton's differs slightly (batch indicators can be found on each label) but for the most part, they remain very similar. Blanton's is bottled with no age statement, but it's said to be around eight, or nine years old and is usually around 46% abv. Classically intense bourbon spice commandeers the nose. Caramel, a bit of tart cherry, vanilla and oak. The palate follows suit with more caramel, maple, vanilla and dried oak. The finish is hot and short, leaving a tangy, leathery, bourbon-spiced char flavor on your tongue. All the flavors in Blanton's are rich, well structured and have a nice balance. It runs a bit hot on the palate, reminiscent of younger, or higher abv whiskies — and it's definitely not an overly refined, or complex whiskey — but it's an admirable, classic style bourbon that can help a newer bourbon drinker begin to bridge the gap from entry-level to mid-level. Locally available in store or online at Gates Circle Liquor for $52. BWG rating: 89/100.
Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon
BWG is always on the lookout for New York made whiskies and spirits. Recently, Hudson Valley's Hillrock Estate Distillery began distribution to Buffalo, ergo we jumped at the chance to review a bottle.
Hillrock's website is informative and immersive in it's passion for its history, production and mission. This is is an excerpt from Hillrock's website:
"Our mission is to produce the finest hand-crafted spirits made with our own grain, floor malted, craft distilled in our copper pot still, aged in fine oak and hand bottled at our estate in the Hudson Valley Highlands. Like our premier spirits, every detail refined, no expense spared, quality steeped in the tradition of 200 years of rich history."
Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon Whiskey is touted on their site as being the world's first Solera aged bourbon. "Solera" is a process for aging spirits by fractional blending of barrels, or batches, in such a way that the finished product is a mixture of ages. This method of aging whiskey allegedly gives the spirit a more refined and unique flavor.
Hillrock's Solera Aged Bourbon Whiskey is roughly six years old. It starts off with a warm, fruity nose of caramel, wild berries and oak. The palate has the quintessential bourbon flavors of maple, cinnamon and oak. There is also some dried dark fruits and a touch of sweet butterscotch. The finish is smooth and warming. Overall this is a fine bourbon, albeit rather typical in flavor. At $35-$45 this would be a very good value, but as it is, BWG will need more when we go to plunk down a cool hundo for a young bourbon… Locally available at Gates Circle Liquor for $95. BWG rating: 83/100.

What to drink for the Super Bowl
Folks from Buffalo are used to drinking while enjoying the Super Bowl. Well, "enjoying" may be an overstatement. And "drinking" may be an understatement. Because as we all know, there have been plenty of "drowning of the sorrows in the bottle" during past Buffalo Super Bowls. But this year is not about the Buffalo Bills. It's not even really about the game itself. It's unfortunately about controversy and cheating. And it's about the team us Buffalonians hate the most – the New England Patriots.
When searching what to drink during the Super Bowl this year, many factors come into play:
• Anything of high abv may not be the best choice. The freaking Patriots have a chance to win yet another, possibly illegitimate (once again) Super Bowl title. And if one indulges too much because of this hideous possibility, it may result in violence or destruction. So whiskey, spirits, cocktails, wine, and double or imperial style beers are all out.
• Due to the deceitful, inexplicable nature of the events that lead up to the Super Bowl this year, a drink that fools the drinker and ends up being not what it initially seems would be appropriate.
• The drink could definitely not be produced in, or anywhere near Massachusetts. This point really needs no explanation. We're in Buffalo. There's no conceivable reason to support the economy of a region that supports the New England Patriots.With these factors taken into consideration, BWG names Founder's All Day IPA as our drink of choice for the Super Bowl. Why? First, it's deceptively low abv (4.7%) will keep a calamitous Patriots victory from resulting in any damage to our surroundings. Secondly, such a mild low abv or "session" brew shouldn't have this much intense flavor. But it does. You feel like you're lying, or pulling a fast one over on your tastebuds. Lastly (and thank god), Founders is from Michigan. Far away from New England.
Have a fun and responsible Super Bowl from BWG. Cheers!
BWG's Favorite Craft Beer of 2014
BWG delved heavily into craft beer in 2014, developing an appreciation for everything across the style gambit from session lagers, to barrel aged stouts. Our list of favorite brews was whittled down to the same criteria used in determining our favorite whiskey of 2014. Value, local availability and personal taste.
A couple years ago we first tried this brew and enjoyed it, but something about 2014's batch put it over the top for us. We tasted it up against other same-style famous brews that are considered world-class — and in our view, it was clearly notches above the others.Great Lakes Chillwave is a double IPA made with mosaic, cascade and nugget hop varieties that give it a wonderfully dense, citrusy floral mix of flavors on the nose and palate. A honey malt provides just a touch of sweet honey flavor and blends beautifully with the floral, citrusy hops. We love Chillwave's balanced, vibrant flavors from its nose all the way through its finish. It's locally available and at $12 a 4-pack it doesn't break the bank. Chillwave is produced in a limited annual release from Great Lakes Brewing Co. out if Cleveland Ohio. Their next batch is stated on their website as being released in Febuary or March 2015. Keep your eyes peeled for Chillwave in the coming months — let's hope the 2015 version is as delicious as the 2014 was. Cheers!
BWG's 2014 Whiskey of the Year
2014 brought several excellent whiskies our way. We are grateful to have been able to sample and review such great works of art. Our criteria In choosing our "2014 Whiskey of the Year" boiled down to three distinct categories.
• Value
With all the inflated pricing out there for good, mediocre, or even bad whiskey, value is becoming increasingly more important to BWG when it comes to purchasing whiskey. Value is not synonymous with cheap. We define value in whiskey by asking ourselves if the whiskey is worth the price, or even better, how much more would we pay for this whiskey…
• Local Availability
Although from time to time we review products that are not available locally, we decided to eliminate them from the "best of 2014″ discussion. Part of why BWG was founded was to help bring whiskey education and enjoyment to the Buffalo, NY area. We cannot do that if all the whiskies we review are not available to the majority of people in Western New York.
• Personal Taste
Let's get down to brass tax, all "best of lists" are subjective. No matter what, there will be people who agree and disagree, the latter being the most passionate about their opinion. Keeping this fact in mind, our final criteria for 2014's best whiskey came down to voting on which whiskey was our personal favorite. As in; which one tasted just so damn good when we drank it? Which one did we go back and buy more of? Which one did we tell our readers to go buy? Which one did we recommend to friends and family?
After weighing all the criteria, our choice was unanimous. BWG's 2014 Whiskey of the Year — or what should be more aptly titled, "BWG's Favorite Whiskey of 2014," is Angel's Envy Bourbon. This port wine cask finished bourbon is epically delicious. It's easy drinking for novices and complex enough for buffs. For us, this bourbon is worth well more than it's modest price tag and in 2014 became regularly available throughout Western NY. Read our full review of Angel's Envy here.
Cheers to Angel's Envy and all the other excellent whiskies of 2014. Here's to many more whiskies to be had and enjoyed in 2015. Next week BWG will announce our 2014 Craft Beer of – actually, we'll announce " BWG's Favorite Craft Beer of 2014." Cheers!
