My daughter is only 5 months old, but I make it a point to bring her outside every day. It's usually for an hour long walk with her in our Onya, but sometimes I'll run with her in the B.O.B. stroller. Rain or shine, I want her to see the importance of getting out and being active!

PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.
HEALTHAlthough it's not a topic any of us really want to think about, responsible dog parenting requires that we give some thought to what would happen to our dogs if one day we didn't come home.
FIRST TIME OWNERS Congratulations! You've decided to bring a new little four-legger into your family's home. Now comes the big decision: should you get a dog or a cat? Here are a few things to consider as you make your decision.
HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy! Learn the basics of finding a vet and getting puppy vaccinated.
DOG HEALTHThere are many benefits to spaying and neutering, but there are also more than a few risks. We want to give you often overlooked information you need to make a full and informed choice.
ADOPTION Are you intimidated by the prospect of "rescuing" a dog from a shelter? One reason that you may be wary of adopting a dog from a shelter is not knowing how to choose. Adopting a dog from a shelter can be a rewarding process, if you're prepared to do a reasonable amount of research.

Hey guys, So, I had a delima and now I think I have a solution, I just picked up chest freezer MAD cheap, 100$ for a 600$ 3 month old freezer, the people we got it from had an unfortunate turn of events, but this freezer is sweet and now SWMBO wants me not to drill in the top of the freezer because she to be able to turn it into a freezer at some point. So I didn't want to build a whole new top for it due to money constraints, but I was thinking if I could build a collar with a detachable tap tower that would be optimal. I have the idea in my head, and I will putting it into a drawing soon, my idea, however if someone has done a keezer, with a lid that is still in tact, and using a collar without having the beer served in the collar, I would appreciate input. The reason I don't the beer to come out of the collar is because I'm to tall, which is why i was thinking of a detachable tower, so that I could detach the tower and then open the lid. Thanks for your input. Wes
suggestion: instead of trying to re-invent your wheel, if you're wiling to lift the kegs higher to get them in, why dont you just elevate the keezer? This allows you to serve through the collar while still not having to stoop down. If that doesnt work for you, then you need to make a decision: what is more inconvenient- having a freezer you can't revert to actual freezer duty? or having to bend over 2-3" inches whenever you pull a pint? Keep in mind- your wife can't use your keezer as a freezer because youll be adjusting the temp to about 40-45F as opposed to 0.
I have seen some builds where not only did they make a collar but a whole new top. This way you can remove the stock top, and reinstall it when you want to convert it back to a freezer.
If this isnt going to be a major keezer build that you will turn into a bar looking keezer (by surrounding it with would), which by the fact you dont want to build an entire new top im assuming it isnt, this is what I would do. 1. Build a collar for it, however high you want/need depending on the depth of the freezer. In the back of the freezer cut a hole. 2. Make a coffin style tap box that can sit on top of the freezer (that can be secured with something like velcro to keep it stationary). 3. Run a flexible line big enough to hold all your beer lines from the hole in the back of the collar to the coffin box. 4. insulate the crap out of the line 5. set up a computer fan (or one of the bought tower cooler fans, a directional blower might work better for the longer line) to constantly blow cold air through the line up into the coffin (which will be insulated really well) Thats it! This is no different than people who put their towers on top of their bar and have the kegerator underneath, they run a short line to the tower on top, you might get slight warmer beer (as 50F instead of 42F) for the first pour, but the fan should fix that for the most part. Hope this helps
Thanks for your help, Here is the model I came up with which I think looks pretty viable. The tap tower would sit in a holder in the back, and come up when needed, I will definitely take the insulation and other tips into account when building. Any Suggestions? Or blaring problems?
That is a pretty cool idea. However, if it were me, I'd just remove the whole stock lid, and create an entire new "top" with an integrated tower. It looks like that would be just slightly more work than your method, and the lines will be easier to deal with if you create a new top. Just a thought.

Well one of the reasons I wanted to keep the original lid was because SWMBO re arranges everything in me and I don't have a lot of space to store a lid, we just rented our first place, and its in Baltimore by the water. I have my own room that she can't touch. I've been lucky i've been able to get her interested in brewing so things may change
So after going to the local lumber yard, I was looking at different types of wood for this build, and discussing the build with one of the employees there, we decided that there was to much weight in the tap tower to be able to support it with such a small mounting point in the back, even if I used metal brackets to re-enforce the part where the tower would be sitting in. Especially since I wanted the tap tower to come out about 6" from the back of the fridge. So its back to square 1. I may just suck it up and build a collar, until we can develop some sort of super wood, which is ultra light but ultra strong. Additionally I wouldn't have to worry about cooling a tap tower.
I was thinking you could make the tower out of 3" or 4" pvc. Build the collar out of 2x6's and connect a 90 to the collar, turning up. above that, run some more pipe to make the tower. It would rise up and out of the collar like you drew above, but be much lighter. I'm surprised nobody has done this. I'll have to make one myself. Thanks for helping me imagine my future keezer.

>A suit was filed yesterday by the ACLU Tennessee against schools that block pro-LGBT web sites including GLSEN but don't block anti-LGBT or ex-gay sites. "Allowing access to Web sites that present one side of an issue while blocking sites that present the other side is illegal viewpoint discrimination," said Catherine Crump, a staff attorney with the ACLU First Amendment Working Group and lead attorney on the case. "This discriminatory censorship does nothing to make students safe from material that may actually be harmful, but only hurts them by making it impossible to access important educational material."
Bryanna Shelton a student at Fulton HS in Knoxville, Tenn., and her mother discuss how the blocked content affected them.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge James Cloninger Monday set the preliminary hearing for 15-year-old murder suspect Brandon McInerney to July 8.
Brandon is accused of fatally shooting classmate Lawrence King on Feb. 12, 2008. You may remember Brandon's father was found dead of an accidental death back in March.

>Maddie Smith, 14, will be given the Queer Youth Leadership Award this Saturday at the Santa Cruz County Task Force awards ceremony.
Smith, who is an out bisexual eighth-grader, is an outspoken member of her school's Gay Straight Alliance and has worked to educate teachers and staff about bullying of queer youth. Before the November election, she wore anti-Proposition 8 T-shirts to school every day.
Congrats Maddie!
- Students, allies heralded for raising awareness of gay youth (The Mercury News: Central Coast)
Not only do they try to get people to stop using 'gay' as a synonym for anything that sucks, but they do it in a playful and humourous way...I think it's great that a superstar actress like (as far as we know) heterosexual Hilary Duff, who has a lot of admiration and respect amongst the youth of today, to contribute her celebrity to be a part of this.

>GLSEN is excited to announce that a federal anti-bullying bill – the Safe Schools Improvement Act – was introduced in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, May 5 by California Rep. Linda Sanchez.
The Safe Schools Improvement Act will require schools that receive funding from the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act to implement an anti-bullying policy that protects students from bullying and harassment and includes protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, among other categories.
Now the hard work begins and we need your help. The bill had 35 cosponsors upon introductioin, and we'd like to see that number increase.
Please consider reaching out to your Representative and ask her or him to become a cosponsor of the Safe Schools Improvement Act. For more information about how to contact your Representative and a list of current and past cosponsors, CLICK HERE.
The bill's introduction came less than a month after the tragic suicides of a fifth and sixth grader in part because of anti-LGBT bullying. Bullying of all kinds has to stop, and the Safe Schools Improvement Act is a crucial step in making schools safer for all students.
Thank you for your support!
>Students at Kennewick High School in Washington have asked to get a GSA in place, but were told it wouldn't be well received. A supportive school board member however, is working to get over that hurdle.
"Kids are experiencing rejection for no good reason and I think we have work to do to fix that," said Wendy London, a member of the Kennewick School Board...London has committed to have monthly meetings with the Vista Youth Center. She says hopefully some work on training and education on Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) related issues for school district staff can be done.
>Comment on this blog post with your stories!
We congratulate all of you for participating in the 13th Annual National Day of Silence! Your silence spoke volumes by calling attention to anti-LGBT bullying and harassment. Awareness activities like the DOS can help make schools safer. Now it's time to learn from your event and the experiences of other organizers. Please let us know how it went for you by commenting on this blog post.
Here is a sample of a story from last year's DOS, and questions to help guide your feedback:
A student from Florida reports: I go to a very small school where there are only about 30 kids in the whole high school so it made it a bit more difficult. I got one of my classmates to be a part of it with me. We accomplished a lot on that day because at least we let people know that it's ok to speak out no matter what sexual orientation you are. My teacher congratulated me on being involving in the Day of Silence.
Guiding questions for submitting a story:
1. Have you participated in the Day of Silence before?
2. What type of school do you go to, small or large, public or private, rural, urban, or suburban?
3. How many people participated or supported your Day of Silence event?
4. Did anything extraordinary happen?
5. Were there supportive teachers?
6. Did you have a Breaking the Silence event?

>Disney Channel star Demi Lovato read about Jaheem Herrera's suicide and was personally moved to speak out. Herrera was the second 11-year-old to take his own life this month due to bullying and harassment using anti-gay taunts. Both boys were very young and neither was known to be gay.
Lovato started tweeting about her own experience with being bullied:
"I can't explain what I went through when I left public school to start homeschooling.. One day I will. But right now..."It honestly amazes me how schools refuse to take action in verbal abuse.. they SAY they do, but this what ends up happening. So, so sad.."

Philadelphia Daily News ran a similar piece about Carl and the Day of Silence
Here's an article from the Huffington Post about bullying. And the author asks, "maybe its time for the adults to start making some noise."

by Montesquieu, Charles de
Publisher:Cambridge University Press
The Spirit of the Laws is without question one of the central texts in the history of eighteenth-century thought, yet there has been no complete scholarly English language edition since 1750. This lucid translation renders Montesquieu's problematic text newly accessible to a fresh generation of students, helping them to understand why Montesquieu was such an important figure in the early enlightenment and why The Spirit of the Laws was such an influence on those who framed the American Constitution. Fully annotated, this edition focuses on Montesquieu's use of sources and his text as a whole, rather than on those opening passages toward which critical energies have traditionally been devoted.

Least-squares spline approximation
sp = spap2(...,x,y,w)
spap2(knots,k,x,y) returns the B-form of the spline f of order k with the given knot sequence knots for which
(*) y(:,j) = f(x(j)), all j
in the weighted mean-square sense, meaning that the sum
is minimized, with default weights equal to 1. The data values y(:,j) may be scalars, vectors, matrices, even ND-arrays, and |z|2 stands for the sum of the squares of all the entries of z. Data points with the same site are replaced by their average.
If the sites x satisfy the (Schoenberg-Whitney) conditions
then there is a unique spline (of the given order and knot sequence) satisfying (*) exactly. No spline is returned unless (**) is satisfied for some subsequence of x.
spap2(l,k,x,y) , with l a positive integer, returns the B-form of a least-squares spline approximant, but with the knot sequence chosen for you. The knot sequence is obtained by applying aptknt to an appropriate subsequence of x. The resulting piecewise-polynomial consists of l polynomial pieces and has k-2 continuous derivatives. If you feel that a different distribution of the interior knots might do a better job, follow this up with
sp1 = spap2(newknt(sp),k,x,y));
sp = spap2(...,x,y,w) lets you specify the weights w in the error measure (given above). w must be a vector of the same size as x, with nonnegative entries. All the weights corresponding to data points with the same site are summed when those data points are replaced by their average.
spap2({knorl1,...,knorlm},k,{x1,...,xm},y) provides a least-squares spline approximation to gridded data. Here, each knorli is either a knot sequence or a positive integer. Further, k must be an m-vector, and y must be an (r+m)-dimensional array, with y(:,i1,...,im) the datum to be fitted at the site [x{1}(i1),...,x{m}(im)], all i1, ..., im. However, if the spline is to be scalar-valued, then, in contrast to the univariate case, y is permitted to be an m-dimensional array, in which case y(i1,...,im) is the datum to be fitted at the site [x{1}(i1),...,x{m}(im)], all i1, ..., im.
spap2({knorl1,...,knorlm},k,{x1,...,xm},y,w) also lets you specify the weights. In this m-variate case, w must be a cell array with m entries, with w{i} a nonnegative vector of the same size as xi, or else w{i} must be empty, in which case the default weights are used in the ith variable.
sp = spap2(augknt([a,xi,b],4),4,x,y)
is the least-squares approximant to the data x, y, by cubic splines with two continuous derivatives, basic interval [a..b], and interior breaks xi, provided xi has all its entries in (a..b) and the conditions (**) are satisfied in some fashion. In that case, the approximant consists of length(xi)+1 polynomial pieces. If you do not want to worry about the conditions (**) but merely want to get a cubic spline approximant consisting of l polynomial pieces, use instead
sp = spap2(l,4,x,y);
If the resulting approximation is not satisfactory, try using a larger l. Else use
sp = spap2(newknt(sp),4,x,y);
for a possibly better distribution of the knot sequence. In fact, if that helps, repeating it may help even more.
As another example, spap2(1, 2, x, y); provides the least-squares straight-line fit to data x,y, while
w = ones(size(x)); w([1 end]) = 100; spap2(1,2, x,y,w);
forces that fit to come very close to the first data point and to the last.

Sample Report
Ayyam Gallery DIFC, Dubai is pleased to present,'The Passage of Time', Farzad Kohan's first solo exhibition with Ayyam Gallery, from 13 January – 28 February 2013.
The sculptures, installations and photographs of Iranian artist Farzad Kohan seek to communicate across the divides of culture, language, religion and gender with messages of harmony and unity. As a manifestation of his desire to articulate his inner workings through the ordinary things that surround us, Kohan often making use of found objects and materials as diverse as wood, coffee, milk, motor oil and sand.
'The Passage of Time' will comprise a series of new mixed media paintings on wood panels examining the artist's experience of migration and identity. Recycled newspaper clippings, printed advertisements, and thin, coloured acrylic washes are painstakingly layered through an additive and subtractive method incorporating grinding, sanding, cutting and pasting. Words and images appear like faded memories through the forty or so layers, obscured by a patina of time and distance.
In the lower portion of each panel there appears a line of text in Farsi. Almost disappearing into the vast space that surrounds them, Kohan's words speak of both loss and hope and are expressions of the fragmented, amorphous identity that is the inevitable result of migration and exile.
Born in Tehran in 1967, Farzad Kohan lives and works in Los Angeles. Solo exhibitions include the Seyhoun Gallery, Los Angeles (2006). Selected group exhibitions include Abra Gallery, Los Angeles (2011); Human Rights Awareness Tour, USA (2008); JFerrari Gallery, Los Angeles (2008); Eagle Rock Cultural Center for Arts (2008); Phantom Galleries, Los Angeles (2007).

REIT Set to Help Cure Cancer
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE - Get Report) is an $8.2 billion (total cap) equity REIT focused on mission-critical lab and office space.
The driving force behind its life science sector is the highly sustainable revenue model that consists of multi-national pharmaceuticals, institutional research, biotech and life sciences products and services. Alexandria has a diversified portfolio, with more than 400 tenants -- about 50% of them are investment-grade.
Many of Alexandria's tenants are cutting-edge R&D firms that operate core, critical-mission assets, including companies that are developing successful treatments to major diseases; many are coming up with the next-generation treatments to cure cancer.
Since the company started in 1994 (IPO in 1997), Alexandria (headquartered in Pasadena) has become a venue for many scientific breakthroughs. Alexandria owns 173 high-quality properties (more than 16.7 million square feet) located in major cities such as Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Raleigh-Durham, suburban D.C. and Greater Boston. In addition, Alexandria owns properties in Canada and Asia.
At a two-day conference in New York this week, Alexandria will host an interactive platform for debate among the world's foremost visionaries to tackle the most critical global health care challenges, shaping the future of life science R&D. Alexandria has become a catalyst for bringing together the world's foremost visionaries from industry, academia, medical centers, philanthropy, government and finance to explore how best to translate innovative discoveries into safe and effective therapies to treat cancer. On Wednesday, I interviewed Alexandria's Founder and CEO Joel Marcus. In this exclusive video, Marcus provides details of Alexandria's strategically focused Life Science model and specifically the differentiated investment model that offers tremendous "sleep well at night" attributes. Alexandria has assets of around $7.09 billion and Wednesday shares were trading at $64.04 (market cap of $4.6 billion). With less than 23% secured debt, Alexandria has a conservatively positioned balance sheet (debt-to-market cap of 39.24%). Last year, Alexandria achieved an investment grade rating of BBB- (from S&P).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into full of surprises, full of delights.
For over four hundred years, New York state has been consistently producing many of the United States finest wines, making the most of the oceanic climate and cool winds which blow over the many vineyards which surround the city. Indeed, certain wineries within the state boast an impressive heritage, with more than one dating back to the 18th century. The state itself has four key wine regions - Lake Erie AVA, Finger Lakes AVA, Hudson River and Long Island, and also features hundreds of smallholdings producing wines of a unique character made using more traditional methods. A wide variety of fine grape varietals are grown across the state, from esteemed old world grapes such as Riesling and Pinot Noir, to an expansive array of New World hybrid grapes which make the wines of this region so unique.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

The Death and Life of the Book Review
It's necessary to explain these broad economic trends to understand a crucial and overlooked point—namely, that it is disingenuous for newspaper executives to justify the elimination or reduction of the book beat by claiming that books sections don't turn a profit. Undeniably, the executives' math is correct. A newspaper books section, if one were to total up its costs, loses money. But does not the sports section or the metro section? Yet of all the sections that fail to turn a profit on their own, it's the books section that is most often killed or pinched. Claims that books sections are eliminated or downsized because they can't earn their keep are bogus. It is indisputable that newspapers have been weakened by hard times and a major technological shift in the dissemination of news; it is not indisputable that newspaper books coverage has suffered for the same reasons. The book beat has been gutted primarily by cultural forces, not economic ones, and the most implacable of those forces lies within rather than outside the newsroom. It is not iPads or the Internet but the anti-intellectual ethos of newspapers themselves.
"Anti-intellectual" is a hefty allegation, but bear with me as I substantiate it with a few stories from the newsroom and observations about the response of newspaper books sections to some important publishing trends of the past several decades. First, a definition. In a news context, "anti-intellectual" does not necessarily mean an antipathy to ideas, though it can be that too. I use the word "anti-intellectual" to describe a suspicion of ideas not gleaned from reporting and a lack of interest in ideas that are not utterly topical.
In 1999 Steve Wasserman was three years into his tenure as the editor of The Los Angeles Times Book Review, and that July he published a review of Richard Howard's new translation of Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma. The reason was simple: Howard is among the best translators of French literature. As Wasserman explained several years ago in a memoir of his days at the Los Angeles Times published in the Columbia Journalism Review, the review of the book, written by Edmund White, was stylish and laudatory. The Monday after the piece ran, the paper's editor summoned Wasserman to his office and admonished him for running an article about "another dead, white, European male." But the paper's readers in Los Angeles thought otherwise. Soon after the review appeared, local sales of the book took off; national sales did too when other publications reviewed the book. The New Yorker ended up printing a "Talk of the Town" item that traced the book's unexpected success to The Los Angeles Times Book Review. In his memoir, Wasserman relates a similar story about Carlin Romano, then the books critic at the Philadelphia Inquirer, who was scolded by an editor for running as the cover story of his section a review of a new translation of Tirant Lo Blanc, a Catalan epic beloved by Cervantes. "Have you gone crazy?" the editor asked. "Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of America's newspapers in the 1990s," Romano reflected, "is their hostility to reading in all forms."
The taboo still exists, and it is sometimes enforced not by other editors but by newspaper books sections themselves. In August 2008 The New York Times Book Review published a piece by Walter Kirn about James Wood's How Fiction Works. Wood is one of our liveliest critics of fiction, and How Fiction Works is his attempt to write something like E.M. Forster's Aspects of the Novel. Kirn's review drips with contempt for Wood's knowledge of his subject. Irked by Wood's readings of great novels by great novelists like Joyce, Proust and Balzac, Kirn attacked Wood for his alleged "genteel condescension," "his donnish, finicky persona," his preference for novels that offer "precision and clarity over mere vigor and potency" and for wearing his knowledge on his sleeve. Kirn belittled Wood's learning, which is to say, his reading; he sounded like a restaurant critic chastising a chef for spending too much time in the kitchen. But there's another twist. Kirn's piece was the cover story of that week's Book Review. An attack on reading was the lead review in the nation's one remaining Sunday books supplement. Kirn wrote the piece, but he didn't put it on the cover. The editors of the Book Review did that, and their decision was a reminder that in its current incarnation the publication resembles the version of the Book Review criticized by Elizabeth Hardwick in Harper's in 1959: "a sort of hidden dissuader, gently, blandly, respectfully denying whatever vivacious interest there might be in books or in literary matters generally."
Wasserman's and Romano's clashes with their editors point to another symptom of the anti-intellectualism of many newspaper book reviews: their lack of curiosity about works in translation. Translations are occasionally reviewed by newspapers, but generally only if the author of the title under review is a Nobel laureate or a well-known personality in her native country, or when the translation rights to a book were purchased during a bidding war. Being an author from an impoverished, war-torn country or with a melodramatic life story helps too. The latter is one of the reasons the work of Chilean author Roberto Bolaño has been widely reviewed in the United States whereas that of many of his peers in Latin America has not.
There is a translation renaissance occurring in the United States, in both fiction and poetry, of likes unseen since the 1960s and '70s, when American poets translated the work of a great number of European Modernists and Latin American Surrealists. Today's renaissance has been sparked and sustained not only by stalwarts like New Directions, Grove, Dalkey Archive, Metropolitan and Farrar, Straus and Giroux, as well as university presses like Nebraska, Northwestern, Yale and California, among others, but also by a number of small presses launched during the past decade, most notably Archipelago, Ugly Duckling, Melville House and Open Letter. This bears emphasizing because great ages of literature have often been periods of intense translation; as Eliot Weinberger has said, "With no news from abroad, a culture ends up repeating the same things to itself. It needs the foreign not to imitate, but to transform." But today's translation revolution hasn't been televised; it has barely been reported, at least by newspaper books sections.
In his memoir Wasserman explains that enthusiasts of The Los Angeles Times Book Review were always in the minority of the paper's overall readership. Over the course of four Sundays in 2004, of the newspaper's 6.4 million readers, some 1.2 million had read the Book Review. That's 19 percent of the paper's readership, and it made the Book Review the least-read section of the Sunday paper. However, among the paper's well-educated and best-read demographic, the section was a must-read. That readership was small, about 320,000, or 27 percent of the total readership of the Book Review, but it was avid and loyal, and delighted to learn about a new translation of The Charterhouse of Parma. And so, like John Leonard at The New York Times Book Review in the early 1970s, Wasserman brazenly edited against industry prejudices when he ran The Los Angeles Times Book Review from 1996 to 2005. His experience there taught him two lessons. First, that a mass readership will elude any newspaper section in the United States dedicated to the review of books. Second, the lack of mass appeal makes even a vibrant newspaper book review hard to sell to book advertisers because the cost of a single full-page ad in a large newspaper exceeds the promotional budgets for most books.
The near-extinction of newspaper books coverage, and the mediocre quality of what little coverage remains, is indeed a cultural problem, but one that stems more from cultural prejudices and structural problems within newspapers than from any within the culture at large. Indeed, the demographics of Wasserman's readership at the Los Angeles Times are proof that there is a keen appetite for books coverage that offers depth, not breadth; that is selective, not a full-service consumer guide; that is indispensable, not ephemeral; that is of general interest but not mass-market; and that is committed to cultivating an informed, critical community of readers. There is a demand, in other words, for exactly the kind of books coverage offered by magazines.
Nearly five decades ago, a savvy group of writers and editors, among them Robert Silvers, Elizabeth Hardwick and Edmund Wilson, saw the newspaper crisis of their day as an opportunity to capitalize on readership demand. In December 1962 a prolonged printers' strike in New York City removed The New York Times Book Review from circulation. Weary of the tepid fare served by newspaper books sections, Silvers and company took advantage of the Book Review's absence to launch The New York Review of Books in February 1963. Similarly, in 1979 a prolonged lockout at the Times of London kept the Times Literary Supplement out of circulation, its absence creating an opportunity for the launch of the London Review of Books, first as an insert to the NYRB and six months later as a stand-alone publication. The New York Review of Books perseveres as a biweekly magazine of politics and ideas, and last year the LRB, also a biweekly, celebrated its thirtieth anniversary.

Kim Kardashian's Photoshopped Instagram Pictures
January 7, 2014 in Kim Kardashian, Photoshop Job by Versus
After the Miranda Kerr photoshopped Instagram pictures controversy a while back , Kim Kardashian, who said that she slimmed down following the formula: 'No carbs, workout and dedication!' recently posted 2 very obviously photoshopped pictures of her figure on Instagram.
The proof: check out the way the door frame 'bends' in the background! This happens when the unskilled photoshopper uses the Liquify tool to make something smaller or narrower (in this case, her midsection) and distorts the surrounding objects in the process.

For a while it seemed that the Italian owned/run series was falling back to the days of old when anything Ducati wanted to gain an advantage it was given (small batch runs of updated machinery...on a monthly basis...). It appears as though Noale was trying the same script (gear driven valves on Max's engines, amongst things...). But now it's run by DORNA, they're leveling the playing field, which can't be a bad thing. So, given that, here's another translation: " I'll wait and see what Gigi decides to do next year, where Nicky decides to go, see what their budget is...then give HRC a call."

As usual in this sort of pop-music Festschrift, most of the individual pieces are laudatory, but between U2's sustained commercial success and Bono's seemingly unending flair for the very public pursuit of good, there is more to comment on than the usual pop-music group's ethos might offer. Specifically, Christopher Endrinal expounds on U2's use of "vocal layering" on albums that "reinvented" the band's sound in the 1990s; and Stephen Catanzarite, perhaps unexpectedly, discerns "U2's conservative voice"; but the deepest depths are delved by Greg Clarke, who contrasts the influence of Jesus Christ on Bono and Nick Cave. Bono says, "either Christ was who He said He was--the Messiah--or a complete nutcase." Heavy stuff for rock and roll, to be sure, this collection is comprehensively referenced, challenging, and frequently provocative. And why not? Booklist Read more...

I didn't bother watching it. It looked better than the old show, but stylistically sub-par, like a fanartist was given a huge budget and told to do whatever.

Teaching Your Passion Issue
Passionate Living by Rev. Pam Douglas-Smith
When you hear the word 'passion,' what images come to mind? Romantic passion between two lovers? The Passion of sacrifice in religious traditions? The spark of passion that stirs individuals from mundane existence into new adventures and creative possibilities? The primal energy of the universe that calls us all out to play in this amazing world as we share our gifts of presence? Perhaps a blend of all. Love, commitment, risk and joy.
One of our great cultural heroes recently departed the planet leaving behind a rich array of creative expressions. Maya Angelou spoke of living with energy and consciousness amid all of life's challenges and blessings. She embodied what she described as her mission in life . . . "not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." What a great example for us to follow as we encounter what crosses our paths.
If you want to reconnect with your own inner passion, simply return to your childhood and notice what you truly loved to do. Perhaps the action of physical sports or the journeys found in reading books or the joy of gazing at the night sky on a starry night or the exhilaration of singing and dancing to the tunes you loved or taking crayons and paints to color outside the box. Each of us was gifted with special talents and interests and those are the source of our true love of life . . . of our passion.
To re-inspire the flame of your inner passion in the here and now, review how these childhood loves are playing out in your life right now. Notice it's not about 'working out' but rather 'playing out.' What are you doing in this moment that makes your heart sing? How are you filling the gift of time and life that is uniquely yours? Are you filling your own inner well? Are you sharing it with others around you?
Perhaps you are blessed to have blended your work with your passion. Perhaps your work supports your deepest passion. Perhaps that true passion has been buried under too many "shoulds, musts, oughts and can'ts." It's time to free that passion into further expression. Where can you reclaim what you love with passion, compassion, humor and style?
Embodying and allowing expression are essential. Too often we align our souls, heads and hearts but forget to include our bodies. They are the vessels of our soul and the chalices of the outpouring of our gifts.
The Olympic Peninsula is the perfect place to attune to nature and restore an honoring of your physical self. Walking on beaches, climbing mountain trails, and ferrying from place to place are ideal. This embodied reconnection with nature allows our souls to open wide, our minds to welcome new perceptions, and our hearts to receive rich remembrances of life's beauty.
Creating our lives is an organic and dedicated process that begins with setting an intention. The more passionate you are about any intention, the more energy will be present to manifest your vision. An alchemy of blending head, heart and body with soul calling. An enchanting of what you already have to allow that which you desire to emerge.
There is a wonderful transformative question that can invite you to explore and rediscover your passion. Instead of making the usual "things to do" list or taking life so seriously that the fun all but disappears, consider this question around how to live your passion. Instead of "I must" or "I will," why not shift into something more inviting? Imagine your passion in its next expression with "Wouldn't it be nice if . . .?" No more musts, guilt or rigidity . . . instead the open-eyed wonder that we all had as children. Life as invitation rather than duty.
Mary Mannin Morrissey in Living Your Field of Dreams offers five essential questions to consider when setting a passion centered intention called a dream.
1. Does this dream, this possibility enliven you? So much of our lives demand our energy without the much needed replenishment. Be sure this intention makes you look forward to life, engages you energetically, and feeds your soul.
2. Does it align with your core values? When we are in integrity with our essential ethics, then an inner wellspring will arise to nourish us. Also, support from kindred souls will manifest in a unity of purpose and we don't walk alone.
3. Do you need a Higher Source of Inspiration to make it happen? If what you are visioning is something you can do easily alone, then it isn't big enough. To really embrace passion, one also embraces the risk of great possibilities.
4. Will it require me to be more my True Self? This is the welcoming of your truest expression of the gifts with which you were born. To truly be who you've been sent to be is the most essential purpose for your presence on earth.
5. Will it ultimately bless others as well? When we seek Highest and Best for All, the energies of life uplift us. When we remember that our contributions effect the entire world, this unselfishness unleashes hope, grace, and soul energy par excellence.
In answering these questions, our passion quest begins. Where it leads will be a wondrous and magical encounter as well as a practical expression of who we are. When we follow our deepest passions, we create not only a more interesting world for ourselves but also a far richer world for others. In exploring our creative possibilities, in finding new ways to express them, and in sharing what we discover ~ the world is made more enchanting. Our passions ignite us . . . our passions invite us forward . . . our passions nourish us along the way . . . our passions engage us with the world in an alchemical way that transforms all.
"By pursuing your allurements, you help bind the universe together.
Our church is completely supported
by your tithes and love offerings.
Your gifts to this ministry are the firm foundation upon which this ministry gently rests.
