NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Newly downgraded Tropical Storm Isaac plodded its way across Louisiana on Wednesday, inundating parts of a mostly rural area southeast of New Orleans, while in the city, on the seventh anniversary of Katrina, levees were so far holding.

In hard-hit Plaquemines Parish, officials rescued dozens of people by boat after they became stranded by floodwaters. Authorities feared more could need help after a night of slashing rain and fierce winds that knocked out power to more than 700,000 households.
The hurricane also canceled commemoration ceremonies Wednesday for Katrina's 1,800 dead in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said officials were considering using a backhoe to cut a hole in a levee on the east bank of Plaquemines Parish to relieve pressure on the structure, something they have during Katrina and Hurricane Gustav in 2008. Jindal said there was no estimate on when that decision would be made; it was still too dangerous to venture out.
Plaquemines Parish also ordered a mandatory evacuation for the west bank of the Mississippi River below Belle Chasse, affecting about 3,000 people in the area, including a nursing home with 112 residents.
Officials said they were worried more storm surge from Isaac would be pushed into the area and levees might be overtopped.
Joshua Brockhaus, an electrician who lives in the flooded area, helped rescue neighbors in his boat.
"I'm getting text messages from all over asking for help," he said. "I'm dropping my dogs off and I'm going back out there."
The hurricane's impact surprised for him.
"We didn't think it was going to be like that," he said. "The storm stayed over the top of us. For Katrina, we got 8 inches of water. Now we have 13 feet."
Alvin Sylve, a disabled former long-distance truck driver, was preparing to get out. He lives on a street with rows of mobile homes in Jesuit Bend in Plaquemines Parish, an area outside the federal levee system where people were ordered to evacuate Wednesday as conditions worsened.
"We've never seen it this bad," he said. "The way this wind is shifting."
He was at a friend's double-wide with leaks springing in the ceiling.
"This double-wide is shaking, even though it's anchored down. You see another piece came off the roof," he said, pointing to a flying piece of roof tile. "It's falling apart!"
Meanwhile in New Orleans, Mayor Mitch Landrieu issued a curfew in part to make it easier for utility crews to restore electricity. Officials also warned they would make arrests for looting. So far, there had been only sporadic arrests.
Police cars had been patrolling the nearly empty streets since Isaac began bringing fierce winds and heavy rains to the city Tuesday night. The curfew was set to start Wednesday night and would last until further notice.
In Vermilion Parish west of New Orleans, Sheriff Mike Couvillon said a 36-year-old man had gone to help two friends move a vehicle from under a tree to get ready for the storm Tuesday evening, and fell to his death after climbing 18 feet up. Deputies don't know why the man climbed the tree.
Although Isaac was at Category 1 compared with a much stronger Katrina (Category 3 at landfall), the threat of dangerous storm surges and flooding from heavy rain was expected to last all day and into the night as the immense comma-shaped storm crawled across Louisiana.
Army Corps spokeswoman Rachel Rodi said the city's bigger, stronger levees were withstanding the assault.
"The system is performing as intended, as we expected," she said. "We don't see any issues with the hurricane system at this point."
There were initial problems with a few of several pumps not working at the 17th Street Canal, the site of a breach on the day Katrina struck, but it was fixed and there were no problems, Rodi said.
In Plaquemines Parish, a fishing community south of New Orleans, about two dozen people who stayed behind despite evacuation orders needed to be rescued.
"I think a lot of people were caught with their pants down," said Jerry Larpenter, sheriff in nearby Terrebonne Parish. "This storm was never predicted right since it entered the Gulf. It was supposed to go to Florida, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans. We hope it loses its punch once it comes in all the way."
As Isaac's eye passed overhead, authorities in armored vehicles saved a family whose roof was ripped off, Larpenter said.
Two police officers had to be rescued by boat after their car became stuck. Rescuers were waiting for the strong winds to die down before moving out to search for other people.
"The winds are too strong and the rain too strong," Plaquemines Parish spokeswoman Caitlin Campbell said.
Water driven by the large and powerful storm flooded over an 18-mile stretch of one levee in Plaquemines Parish. The levee, one of many across the low-lying coastal zone, is not part of the new defenses constructed in New Orleans after Katrina.
After maintaining hurricane strength through the morning, Isaac weakened to a tropical storm Wednesday afternoon with 70 mph winds and was expected to continue losing strength. It came ashore at 7:45 p.m. EDT Tuesday with 80 mph winds near the mouth of the Mississippi River, driving a wall of water nearly 11 feet high inland and soaking a neck of land that stretches into the Gulf.
The storm stalled for several hours before resuming a slow trek inland, and forecasters said that was in keeping with the its erratic history. The slow motion over land means Isaac could be a major soaker, dumping up to 20 inches of rain in some areas. But every system is different.
Isaac's winds and sheets of rain whipped New Orleans, where forecasters said the city's skyscrapers could be subject to gusts up to 100 mph.
In the French Quarter near Bourbon Street, Jimmy Maiuri stepped outside his second-floor apartment to shoot video. Maiuri, who fled from Katrina at the last minute, stayed behind this time and had no regrets, though he was amazed at the storm's timing.
"It's definitely not one to take lightly, but it's not Katrina," said Maiuri, a bar owner. "No one is going to forget Aug. 29 forever, not here at least."
As hard wind and heavy rain pelted Melba Leggett-Barnes' home in the Lower 9th Ward, an area leveled during Katrina, she felt more secure than she did seven years ago.
"I have a hurricane house this time," said Barnes, who has been living in her rebuilt home since 2008. She and her husband, Baxter Barnes, were among the first to get a home through Brad Pitt's Make It Right program.
Her yellow house with a large porch and iron trellis was taking a beating, but holding strong. "I don't have power, but I'm all right," said Barnes, 56, a cafeteria worker for the New Orleans school system.
In Mississippi, the main highway that runs along the Gulf, U.S. 90, was closed in sections by storm surge flooding. At one spot in Biloxi, a foot of water covered the highway for a couple of blocks, and it looked like more was coming in. High tide was likely to bring more water.
In Pass Christian, a Mississippi coastal community wiped out by hurricanes Camille and Katrina, Mayor Chipper McDermott was optimistic Isaac would not deal a heavy blow.
"It's not too bad, but the whole coast is going to be a mess," he said.
The storm drew attention because of its timing __ coinciding with the Katrina anniversary and the first major speeches of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was considering whether to visit the Gulf Coast after Isaac.
Isaac promised to test a New Orleans levee system bolstered by $14 billion in federal repairs and improvements after the catastrophic failures during Katrina.

I have the love letters my paternal grandparents sent to each other in the late '20s. My grandmother kept all of them and they came into my possession after she died in 1988. No one else wanted them but I knew they should be saved.
I've only read one but none of the others. It just seemed too personal and as if I was invading a private conversion.

*** Travel Equipment *** Students should be able to provide a piano/keyboard *** Specialties *** I have performed in a large variety of vocal genres from rock to opera and am comfortable teaching all ages, levels, and styles. In my lessons I focus on proper breath support, and vocal placement within the mouth and nasal cavity. As a result of my classical training, my basic style of teaching is steeped in the bel canto aesthetic. However, I believe in and use kinesthetic techniques to help students more easily discover this proper approach.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MFA, LCSW
"Everyone deserves to live a life full of meaning, joy and love. Most people come to therapy because something isn't working in their lives, and they need help fixing it. That's how I see my role as a therapist: a partner in your journey to figure out what's wrong, and then for us to work together to make real change. For some people this means developing insight into the issues that are holding you back. Other people already have the insight but need help turning the insight into action.

"I believe that psychotherapy is like getting a college degree in knowing yourself. The more aware we are of our motives, feelings, thoughts, actions & perceptions the less we are controlled by them & less likely to be stuck in old patterns that no longer work. I have helped many competent, intelligent men and women who wanted more out of life than financial success. They often would describe having a sense of feeling empty or not gratified. The process of psychotherapy facilitates increased self-awareness thereby increasing your ability to identify and follow your desires, which leads to fulfillment.

"Have you felt in a fog, unfocused, and disorganized your entire life? Do you often have trouble with time management, completing tasks, and procrastinating? These are common symptoms of ADD/ADHD. Suffering from ADD/ADHD can be a frustrating, upsetting, and stressful experience, especially when it goes undiagnosed for years. Many people are often told that it isn't a real diagnosis. However, ADD/ADHD is a real disorder. You can feel better. Effective treatment, whether it is medications, strategy-focused therapy, or both can provide you with the help you need to feel calmer, less anxious, and more organized.

"I help others manage and resolve difficulties of the heart - love, loss, and work during significant life changes/transitions; e.g., career/job change, death/illness in family, divorce, addiction/recovery, etc. I provide high-quality professional assessment and counseling/psychotherapy to people who have not accessed or have had prior unsatisfactory experiences with psychotherapy. I also do "second opinions" for anyone experiencing therapy stalemate and/or major change. During change, the terrain is stormy, bumpy, skiddy and deep. Many feel angry--a disguise to the depth of fear(s). Anxiety ensues and one doubts whether the "new" is possible.

"People seek psychotherapy for different reasons. Sometimes they want to solve a specific problem produced by difficult circumstances; sometimes they want relief from feelings of general unhappiness and anxiety; other times they want to make a change, to feel less stuck, less depressed and more hopeful. Asking for help is the first important step. It gives substance to our desire for change and makes concrete our wish to feel better. This very act of asking says that we feel entitled to support and serious consideration.

Product description
A brand new revised edition of the best-selling graphic novel based on the enchanting prelude to The Lord of the Rings. First published in 1990, David Wenzel's comic book adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit was an immediate success and has become one of the best-loved graphic novels of the last 20 years. The Hobbit is the story of Bilbo Baggins, a quiet and contented hobbit whose life is turned upside down when he joins the wizard Gandalf and thirteen dwarves on their quest to reclaim their stolen treasure. It is a journey fraught with danger - and in the end it is Bilbo alone who must face the guardian of this treasure, the most-dreaded dragon, Smaug. Illustrated and hand painted in full colour throughout, and accompanied by the carefully abridged text of the original novel, this handsome authorised edition will introduce new generations to a magical masterpiece - and be treasured by Hobbit fans of all ages, everywhere. This new edition has been completely re-scanned from the original paintings to achieve more accurate and vibrant colours, with David Wenzel revisiting the work to provide sensitive improvements and additions to the original edition. The book includes a magnificent and completely new cover design by Wenzel himself.

Customer reviews
By 365 Graphic Novels 17 Jul 2013
This is somewhere between an illustrated children's book and a graphic novel. It follows the plot of J R R Tolkien's novel closely and remains faithful to the spirit of the work.
The text starts off identical to the source material but eventually you notice truncations and omissions in order to reduce the length of this volume. The Hobbit was originally published in 1937 and is set in a fantasy world resulting in some unusual and clunky uses of language. The odd typo and unfortunate punctuations don't improve in this.
The art is beautiful, hand drawn and lovingly watercoloured. The panels and layout are irregular and there is a great deal of bleeding of the art and speech between frames. This gives the book a wonderfully cosy and quirky feel to it. This was originally three books that have been collected into one. The first starts off slowly with big open panels showcasing the wonderful illustrations and is mostly dialogue serving to build character. By the third book the panels are much smaller, dialogue is sparse and the pages are crammed with boxes and boxes of narration that feel lifted straight from Tolkien. It is almost as if the writers ran out of room and had to cram everything into a shorter page count.
The large cast of Dwarves appear almost identical and little is done in terms of speech or art to differentiate them. Intermittently you will spot different colours of hat but only Thorin and occasionally Balin get special treatment. The pictures are there to accompany the text and never get the opportunity to tell the story on their own. The narration text boxes are all in different colours making you spend an inordinate amount of time looking for a pattern or code only to conclude it is merely the colourist's whim.
It is too long for a single reading session, has no clear breaks to pause and doesn't convey the fact the story takes place over a number of months. The sheer amount of text on the page by the latter third of the book is also a crying shame.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
Mohammed Adow and Chris Arsenault | 25 Aug 2012 03:13 GMT | China, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Niger
Despite a government ban on selling second-hand clothes in Africa's most populous country, it's estimated that 80 per cent of Nigerians dress in illicit, used garments.
The ban, ostensibly designed to protect local textile producers, is one of several imposed by African countries who are angry about being flooded with donated clothes from the wealthy world.
Despite the ban Katangowa market in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial hub, is the largest used clothing market on the continent. The Moment newspaper in Nigeria describes it as the "Wall Street of second-hand clothes".
The garments are moved into Nigeria illegally from neighbouring countries, Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow reported.
While selling clothes can help put food on the table for vendors in Katangowa, they are not the main beneficiaries of the trade, according to recent research.
"In terms of a percentage mark-up for doing very little, the wholesalers get the biggest chunk," David Simon, a professor at the University of London who has studied used clothing markets across Africa, told Al Jazeera.
Trade liberalisation
Wholesalers in the destination country unload bails of clothes, usually purchased from western aid organisations by the ton, sort the product, and then sell it to other middlemen or market vendors for a significant mark-up, the professor said. They are also responsible for "massaging" contraband clothes through customs.
Simon, however, does not believe used clothing markets are the main factor in undermining domestic textile production in West Africa.
"Trade liberalisation since the 1980s, under structural adjustment programmes [policy changes demanded from international financial institutions], and negotiations in the World Trade Organisation had the impact of reducing barriers to the import of cheap new clothing, mainly from China," he said, arguing that trade policy is probably the largest contributor to the decline of domestic manufacturing.
For the most part, economic debates about the effect of used clothes in displacing domestic production are probably moot, because lax enforcement allows used clothes to enter West Africa markets on mass, regardless of the law. Internationally, a quarter of all garments sold -- an estimated one billion pieces of clothing -- are thrown away every year. That's about 500,000 tons of clothes, the weight of the world's tallest building.
"Many relatively poor or absolutely poor people prefer second hand western clothing [over new Chinese or Indian made clothes] because it is often of a better quality and it has associations with the western cultural imperative; it matches what they see on TV "
- David Simon, University of London
Environmentally this causes major problems, as growing the cotton used in one t-shirt can require 2,500 liters of water or 8,000 liters for one pair of jeans.
"We really believe that by buying second hand clothing shoppers can reduce their carbon footprint," said Fee Gilfeather, head of marketing and trading with Oxfam, an NGO which runs community-based used clothing projects in West Africa and the UK.
Nigerians aren't alone in enjoying second-hand attire. Used clothing exports from wealthy OECD countries to the Ivory Coast are estimated at 13,066 tons, according to the UN Comtrade database while Ghana imported 79,963 tons.
"Ten thousand garments go into landfills every five minutes in the UK, that is something we really want to change," Gilfeather told Al Jazeera.
"Moving unwanted clothes from one part of the world to another is good for the environment."
'Aspirational outfits'
Shoppers in Katangowa, however, seem to be making their purcahses based on style, rather than sustainability.
"It isn't just the poor who shop here," one market trader told our correspondent. Actresses from Nollywood, Nigeria's filmmaking hub, frequent the market looking for unique outfits, the trader said.
"Many relatively poor or absolutely poor people prefer second hand western clothing [over new Chinese or Indian made clothes] because it is often of a better quality and it has associations with the western cultural imperative; it matches what they see on TV," Simon told Al Jazeera.
"In our research in Mozambique, we found that street traders quite often conceal new clothing in amongst displays of used clothing," he said. "That tells us something." Vendors often scratched up new Chinese shoes to make them look like used western shoes, Simon said, probably because western shoes are considered "aspirational" by some consumers.
As long as consumers have these aspirations, and traders want to turn a profit, it seems unlikely the used clothing trade in Nigeria and other countries will stop anytime soon, regardless of government policy.

Revealed: Babysitter's two pit bulls mauled 14-month-old boy to death as toddler's heartbroken father posts angry rant vowing to make sure the breed is 'bred out'
- Dax Borchardt died nearly three hours after attack in Walworth, Wisconsin
- He was being babysat by the owner of the pit bulls, Susan Iwicki
A Wisconsin family was left reeling from the tragic death of their 14-month-old son who was mauled to death by his babysitter's two pit bulls Tuesday.
The child, identified as Dax Borchardt, died nearly three hours after the attack while in the care of 30-year-old Susan Iwicki.
Iwicki was also injured in the attack at her house in Walworth when her pets lost control and lunged at the child.
Angel: Little Dax Borchardt was attacked and mauled to death by a pair of pit bulls while in the care of his babysitter
Endless sorrow: Little Dax's heartbroken father, Jeff Borchardt, right, wrote on his Facebook page that the image of his oy murdered by the pit bulls would be seared inot his mind forever
Little miracle: Family friends said that the Borchardts had spent a long time trying for a baby
Walworth County Sheriff's department said they received a 911 call from Ms Iwicki's home at N2037 North Lakeshore Drive at 12.46pm Tuesday to say she and the boy were being attacked by the pit bulls.
The toddler was taken to Mercy-Walworth Medical Center before being airlifted to the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin where he died from critical injuries at about 3:30pm.
The dogs were removed from the house and euthanized by a local veterinarian. It is unclear at this point if Iwicki will face any charges in connection to the boy's death.
Walworth County Sheriff's Office Captain Dana Nigbor told GazetteXtra.com that 'unless something drastically changes,' the investigation likely will not be a criminal one.
An autopsy is expected to be perfomed on little Dax sometime today.
Friends of the boy's family told WISN 12 News how his parents had spent a long time trying to conceive a baby.
Two pit bull dogs attacked a 14-month-old boy and his babysitter at her home in Walworth County (file photo)
'[He had the] biggest eyes, great smile,' family friend Valerie Brylow told WTMJ. 'He was a great little boy.'
Dax's parents have been identified by MailOnline as Kimbelry Sucharski Borchardt and Jeff Borchardt, a local DJ who goes by the stage name Mix Master Bogart.
Fatal pit bull attacks involving children and adults alike have been on the rise in recent years.
In 2011, seven children five years old and younger were mauled to death by dogs of that breed nationwide, along with 15 adults.
In 2012, a total of 23 Americans were killed by pit bulls, including nine children, the youngest of them, Makayala Darnell, was only three days old.
Of all the fatalities that year, 34 per cent involved more than one dog.
So far this year, at least four people were killed by dogs, all of them pit bulls.
Among the most recent victims were four-year-old Christian Gormanous, age four, and Isaiah Aguilar, age two, both from Texas.
In the eight-year period from 2005 to 2012, pit bulls and Rottweilers, the second most lethal breed, accounted for 73 per cent of the total 251 recorded deaths.
Pit bulls make up less than 5 per cent of the total US dog population.
Source: Dogsbite.org
Last night, the boy's dad posted a heart-breaking and angry message on his Facebook page, vowing to do everything in his power to make sure that the pit bull breed is 'bred out.'
In his tirade, Mr Borchardt insisted that Iwicki's pets were not abused or mistreated, claiming that 'they are naturally wired...to bite down on flesh and lot let go.'
'I always thought my little chiuawawa [sic] would be MURDERED by a pitbull,' he wrote. 'I never thought it would be our baby boy....I will have that picture seared in my head forever.'
hours later, Borchardt took to the social media site again, posting an
unsettling message conveying that he wished to have died instead of his
'Please god, just take my life and give it to Dax....it shoudve [sic] been me,' the post read. 'I'm a complete waste of a human being and this is gods [sic] way of paying me back!'
Friends and sympathetic strangers alike responded by offering their support and urging the heartbroken husband and father not to give up for the sake of his wife.
'Be strong and carry on....its [sic] a loss that never heals, but each day makes the burden lighter,' Keeth Furan wrote on Facebook.
Another friend of the father, Nicole Jennison, told WISN 12: 'When he was with his kid, it was just all smiles.
'He didn't care about anything else in the world, and now this happened. It breaks my heart.'

REVIEW: Polio-afflicted Mark O'Brien enjoys both a sexual and emotional awakening in the touching and very funny The Sessions.
Based on a true story, it recounts the anxious, heartfelt mission of the immobile O'Brien - who has spent the majority of his 36-years in an iron lung - to if not find love, then to at least lose his virginity.
Mark, played by John Hawkes, has a mind full of poetry and romantic notions but his body is crooked and withered, and he has a sense it will soon give out on him. He employs the services of a sex surrogate to assist his assignment of sexual discovery, and the counsel of his priest with whom he shares his hopes, fears and exhilaration.
The Sessions is buoyed by the nervous fumbling of first encounters, and its stark reminder of the power of sex and intimacy. We may not be able to identify with Mark's paralysed, horizontal life - he can only move his head - but most of us can likely recall the pressure, excitement, embarrassment, failure and triumph of early escapades between the sheets.
Mark's sexual education is a frank yet tender one, surrogate Cheryl (Helen Hunt) is straight-up in laying down the rules and objectives of their time together, but guides him with a gentle hand. The direction of veteran film-maker Ben Lewin is much the same; candid and caring.
A current of cheeky humour ensures the fly-on-the-wall experience isn't an awkward one for viewers - only the most prudish of movie-goers would be shocked or appalled by The Sessions' pound of flesh.
There is only to be six sessions with Cheryl, but that doesn't stop Mark from letting his heart get away on him, and even Hunt's character won't walk away from their sessions unaffected.
It's a cliché for actors to be applauded and awarded for portraying physically or mentally disabled characters. I'll just say Hawkes' performance is very believable and respectful and leave it at that.
Though his time on screen with Hunt is the focus of the picture, I couldn't imagine The Sessions without the thoughtful voice of William H. Macy's Father Brendan, who goes from awkward accomplice to Mark's plans to eager champion.
After negotiating the difference between a sex surrogate and a prostitute, Father Brendan determines ''I think God would give you a free pass on this''. After 90 minutes inside Mark O'Brien's world, most movie-goers would struggle to deny him a 'free pass' on anything.
