A venerable giant
El Tule's ancient ahuehuete (water cypress) tree is reputed to have the largest girth of any tree on earth. It may be, it may not - one thing is for sure - it is one big tree: 58 metres around - that's getting on for 200 feet!! It is also incredibly old - possibly as much as 3,000 years - that means it was already growing when nearby Monte Alban was first being built. It really is a venerable giant and deserves all the attention it gets.
The ahuehuete is Mexico's national tree, and this one is a national monument. Ahuehuetes grow to enormous size and live to a great age. It is thought that the Tree of Tule may the world's largest single biomass. Recent DNA studies of the trunk have shown that it is indeed one single trunk, and not several trunks that have fused together.
For a few pesos one of green-track-suited children will take you for a walk around the trunk and, using a mirror to focus a point of light on the the bumps and whorls of the trunk and branches, they'll show you the creatures and features that are variously identified as a lion, and elephant, a bunch of garlic, a reindeer, etc.
There are six other ancient cypresses around the village, but none of the others can match this one.
Apart from the trees, there's not much else to see in El Tule, the church is nothing very special - though the nuns who sell their almond cookies and bottles of dolce de leche are very sweet and demure and there's a pleasant garden to walk around.

A Big Three
This three is famouse for it's age and size. It's something that worth it, and you can go out of the town.
To get there you have to take a bus near the second class bus terminal - or just take a taxi.
The bus will take over 30 - 40 minutes to leave you there and you will find pleanty of tourist trying to catch the same bus too.
At your arrival you will have to walk over a path and fin the entrance to see closer the three and you have to pay a little contribution for the manteinance of the place.
In fact, the three is big, but there are some urban legends that people can tell you while they are explaining the reason of the different shapes of the branches.
It's funny to listen them!

Ok, you'll understand the title when you go there...
The Tree of Tule in the town of Santa Maria del Tule (about 10 miles out of town, on the way to Mitla) is BIG...and OLD.
Locals say the tree is over 2000 year old and has a circumference of over 160 feet.
The town itself is a small village, with more greenery than any of the other villages in the area. Fountains, streams, grass and open gardens give the small town an open, relaxing atmosphere.
The tree itself is right next to the beautiful church.
Local children point out unusual figures one can see in the tree. With pocket mirrors reflecting the sun, the guides will point out figures such as the squirrel's tale and Carlos Salinas' ears.
A recent addition to the children's English-language lexicon is pointing out the "butt" of Monica Lewinski, though if asked who she is, the typical response is "an artist."
The kids reflect the mirror into the tree, then say "You See? You See? Kaman!" (come on) and you follow the child to the next part of the tree.
It's quite cute, actually.
Most visitors are on tours to (or from) Mitla, or Teotitlan de la Valle and the Tule tree is just a quick stop.

Biiiig Tree
We took a ride in Aprils fab "Venga bus" to Santa Maria del Tule to see the oldest tree in the world. It's pretty wide!
And that's about all there is to say about it ;-)
The town is very small & you just walk around the tree, so I would not class it as a MUST SEE attraction if you are short on time in the area.
Oh, it costs 30 pesos to see it "up close", well as close as the fence around it will let you get.
wow the tule tree has its own sub category! go tule.
I remember when my boyfriend described the Tule to me "the fattest tree in mexico" i just laughed at him and said "yeah sure, why not. let's go see it" and really, when you've spent the day walking around ruins of pre-hispanic cities and such, a fat tree doesn't sound like much. But you HAVE to see the TULE!
I went there in the summer, and it was really hot and sticky outside, but once I got under the tule it was nice and cool. And calming, it's very calming. I think it's magical in some way el tule..... and I'm not at all a spiritual person.
I like this tree better than my sister.

PARIS A new book purports to give Dominique Strauss-Kahn's version of events of what happened in that New York hotel suite.
In "DSK Affairs: The Second Inquiry," Strauss-Kahn's biographer says when a hotel maid locked eyes with the then head of the International Monetary Fund after he emerged naked from a shower, he interpreted her allegedly seductive body language as a proposition.
The one-time French presidential contender has not spoken out on the May 14 encounter which led U.S. authorities to charge him with attempted rape, and the book is being marketed as his much-anticipated side of the story.
However, in a statement signed by Strauss-Kahn - the first since the start of the downward spiral engulfing him - he distanced himself from the account. The two-sentence statement said he has played no role in the "recent multiplication of interpretations of events concerning me ... often inexact."
"I reserve my explanations for the justice, be it French or American," the statement said, indicating that he has no intention of making his side of the story public.
Lawyers for the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, immediately dismissed the book by Michel Taubmann as "complete fantasy."
In key excerpts published in Paris Match magazine Thursday - ahead of the book's scheduled Dec. 8 release - Taubmann alleges Diallo acted seductively upon bursting in on a naked Strauss-Kahn.
Upon seeing the then-IMF leader, she "started walking toward the exit. But she wasn't in any hurry," the excerpt reads. "She stares him in the eyes. Then, she looks openly at his genitals."
The excerpt continues: "The flesh is weak. Dominique Strauss-Kahn saw a proposition. The situation amuses him. Rarely in his life has he refused a moment of pleasure. He does not resist the temptation to receive oral sex. The act is fast, very fast."
Diallo's version of event differs wildly from those described in the book.
She has alleged that Strauss-Kahn violently attacked her when she arrived to clean his suite, forcing her to perform oral sex on him before she quickly left the hotel. Investigators found physical evidence, including bruises on her vagina and traces of semen in the room, but the criminal case against Strauss-Kahn was dismissed when prosecutors said they had lost faith in Diallo's credibility.
The excerpts also suggest that Diallo might be behind the alleged theft of Strauss-Kahn's work Blackberry. Taubmann says phone records show Strauss-Kahn last used the IMF Blackberry around the time the incident took place and suggests Diallo was one of a handful of people who could have taken it.
The possible robbery of the cell phone, Taubmann suggests, might have been part of a political plot to bring down Strauss-Kahn - a Socialist who was then widely seen as the top contender in France's upcoming presidential race in April and May.
The book's excerpts do not contain any direct quotes from Strauss-Kahn, though author Taubmann said in an interview with Paris Match that he has met with the politician at least six times since the May 14 incident, and also had extensive email and phone contact with him.

Liver biopsy
A liver biopsy is not a routine procedure, but is performed when it is necessary to determine the presence of liver disease and to look for malignancy, cysts, parasites, or other pathology. The actual procedure is only slightly uncomfortable. Most of the discomfort arises from being required to lie still for several hours afterwards to prevent bleeding from the biopsy site.

ClassicsOnline Home » TCHAIKOVSKY: Nutcracker (The) / GLAZUNOV: Les Sylphides
CD Review
"confidently recommended"
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893)
The Nutcracker/Der
Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (1865
- 1936)
Les Sylphides
Tchaikovsky found no particular
attraction in the subject proposed to him for what was to be his last ballet,
The Nutcracker and the Mouse-king, based on a story by E.T.A. Hoffmann. The
choreographer Marius Petipa and the Imperial Theatre Directorate commissioned
the work in 1891, and the composer worked on the score during a foreign tour
that took him, as a conductor, to Paris and to America. The most famous dance
in the ballet, the Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy, caused Tchaikovsky some
initial difficulty, but in Paris he found a new instrument ideal for his
purpose, the celesta, a keyboard metallophone invented by Auguste Mustel in
1886, and by June he had sketched out the whole work.
While it was Petipa who had proposed the
subject for the ballet, the choreography of the first production at the
Maryinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on 18th December 1892 was left to his
assistant Ivanov. Of this version only the Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy and
the Prince has survived, while a number of later versions include choreography
by Balanchine, Grigorovich, Cranko, Nureyev and Flemming Flindt. The Nutcracker
Suite was arranged by Tchaikovsky for concert performance in St. Petersburg
in March 1892, nine months before the staging of the ballet. It was an
immediate success, each number except one being encored. The ballet itself was
not so well received. It was presented as a double-bill with Tchaikovsky's
opera lolanta, a work that proved more satisfactory to the Tsar and his
subjects. Since then, however, the ballet has become an annual favourite, with
its Christmas setting and easily intelligible series of dances.
The Nutcracker is introduced by a
miniature Overture, scored without cello or double-bass (1). The curtain
rises on the living-room of the President of the Council of a German state in
the eighteenth century. The President and his friends are decorating the
Christmas-tree, to the sound of a violin melody (2). The candles are
extinguished and the children come in, approaching the tree and marching in
play (3). They join in a lively galop (4) and at this point a strange elderly
man with a patch over one eye comes into the room. The children draw back,
until they see the presents he has brought. Drosselmeyer, the newcomer, has a
pretty doll for Clara, the daughter of the house, and a toy soldier for her
brother Franz (5). They dance a waltz, ending in a more rapid dance (6). When
the grown-ups refuse permission for the children to take their presents from
the room, Clara begins to cry and Franz proves refractory and obstinate.
Drosselmeyer takes out of his pocket a nutcracker, a joint present for the two
children, and after explaining how to use it, hands it to Clara. After much
protest, Clara eventually gives the nutcracker to Franz, who tries at once to
crack the biggest nut and breaks the nutcracker. Clara sadly picks it up and
lays it, with her new doll, in a cradle, while Franz quickly forgets and he and
his friends start playing with toy trumpets and drums. The festivities are
brought to an end, the guests leave and Clara and Franz are sent to bed.
The room is left in darkness, lit only by
the moonlight from outside. Clara creeps in to see her broken Nutcracker once
more and is terrified when mice emerge from the wainscot. She jumps onto a
chair, while the mice scurry around. As the orchestra reaches a climax, the
Christmas-tree grows enormous and the everyday world is transformed, a brief
oboe figure arousing a toy sentry, who, receiving no reply to his challenge,
wakens his Gingerbread Soldier companions, who engage in a fierce battle with
the Mice, led by the Mouse-king, the soldiers commanded by the Nutcracker. The
Mice are about to win when Clara intervenes, hurling her shoe at the
Mouse-king, who sinks dead to the floor, while his army withdraws. The
Nutcracker is transformed into a handsome Prince and invites Clara to travel
with him to the Land of Sweets (7 & 8).
The second scene of the ballet takes us
to a pine forest, where Clara and her Prince are welcomed by the Snow-King and
Snow-Queen, who offer as entertainment the Dance of the Snowflakes (9 &
10). The following act is set in the Kingdom of Sweets, where Clara and the
Prince are welcomed first by the Sugar-Plum Fairy, to be carried in a boat over
a river of Rose-water. The Prince relates his adventures, with the episode of
Clara's brave intervention in his struggle with the Mouse-king (11 & 12).
A series of character dances follows, a
Spanish Chocolate-Dance, an Arabian Coffee-Dance, a Chinese Tea-Dance, a
Russian Trepak and a Dance for Toy Trumpets, ended by the appearance of the old
woman who lived in a shoe and her numerous offspring (1). Flowers of all
colours join in the Waltz of the Flowers (2). The Prince and the Sugar-Plum
Fairy dance a pas de deux, with a solo Tarantelle for the first and the famous
dance accompanied by the celesta for the second (3), followed by a coda. All
then join in the final dance, which leads to a closing Apotheosis for the
Kingdom of Sweets, honey-bees and their Queen (4).
Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov
Les Sylphides
Glazunov belongs to the generation of
Russian composers after Tchaikovsky, able still further to heal the rift
between the nationalists and those with a more formal musical training. He
progressed rapidly as a private pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, who remained a firm
friend, and collaborated with him in completing and
editing for publication some of the compositions left unfinished by Borodin and
Mussorgsky. For the ballet Glazunov provided three full-length original scores
for Marius Petipa, Raymonda, staged at the Maryinsky Theatre in 1898 and
set at the time of the Crusades, Les ruses d'amour, staged in St
Petersburg in 1900 and based on a Watteau fête champetre, and The Seasons,
also mounted in 1900.
The ballet Chopiniana is better
known outside Russia as Les Sylphides. It was first staged at the
Maryinsky Theatre in 1907 with choreography by Fokin and with Pavlova as prima
ballerina. This first strongly Polish version opens with a ball-room scene, set
to the Chopin Polonaise in A major, Opus 40 No.1, followed by the F
major Nocturne, Opus 15 No.1, showing Chopin's feverish dreams during his
fateful winter in Mallorca with his mistress George Sand, when tuberculosis
threatened his life The C sharp minor Mazurka, Opus 50 No 3, celebrates
a Polish wedding and the Waltz in the same key, Opus 64 No 2, allows the
ballerina to appear not in Polish national costume but in traditional romantic
dress. This version of the ballet ends with the Tarantella in A flat major,
Opus 43, set understandably, in Naples, a city associated with the rapid
whirling dance Fokin choreographed an extended version of the ballet in' 908
and in' 909 devised a further version for Dyagilev in Paris. It is generally
the later versions of the ballet that remain in current repertoire both in
Russia and abroad.
Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra
The Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra
(Bratislava), the oldest symphonic ensemble in Slovakia, was founded in 1929 at
the instance of Milos Ruppeldt and Oskar Nedbal, prominent personalities in the
sphere of music. The orchestra was first conducted by the Prague conductor
František Dyk and in the course of the past fifty years of its existence has
worked under the batons of several prominent Czech and Slovak conductors Ondrej
Lenard was appointed its conductor in 1970 and in 1977 its conductor-in-chief.
Ondrej Lenard
Ondrej Lenard was born in 1942 and had
his early training in Bratislava, where, at the age of 17, he entered the
Academy of Music and Drama, to study under Ludovit Rajter. His graduation
concert in 1964 was given with the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra and during his
two years of military service he conducted the Army Orchestral Ensemble, later
renewing an earlier connection with the Slovak National Opera, where he has
continued to direct performances.
Lenard's work with the Slovak Radio
Symphony Orchestra in Bratislava began in 1970 and in 1977 he was appointed
Principal Conductor. At the same time he has travelled widely abroad in Europe,
the Americas, the Soviet Union and elsewhere as a guest conductor, and during
his two years, from 1984 to 1986, as General Music Director of the Slovak
National Opera recorded for Opus operas by Puccini, Gounod, Suchon and Bellini.
For Naxos Lenard has recorded symphonies
and ballet music by Tchaikovsky and works by Glazunov, Johann Strauss II, Verdi
and Rimsky-Korsakov.

Also, i have been a little over a year and today i nearly beat a titled player. And you are the biggest bureaucrat. You should have played a year without studing as this reduces your creavity. Now you wouldnt learn lessons from failing and being mroe pratical foolish kid. You just limited yourself. Look at ratings this is completely natural talent. I have nbot read a chess book, even though i can read at 1300 wpm, i have not analyzed your precious measter games or even my own games. And look at my ratings. Therefore when i start to read and study the translucency of the game will be much better. YOu can only blame yourself for not having the satisfication that i will ultimately have. Before this year ididnt even know what the bisho por knight were, but give me another year. This year I am rated above average by just mere talent. did you get akll of that brah
Hey Juxtranspose thanks for sharing your story, I also started this year at 30 and it's inspirational to me to read things like that. You've got a high rating especially considering your average opponent rating about equal to you too.. So often on these forums they'll be people with like 1900 rating and then you look at their average opponent rating and it's low.
Sometimes I do think I should just quit chess though because I spend a lot of time on it and get very angry when I lose, and even when I win. It's just a really angering and frustrating game.
Its not only too late at 30 to get good at chess.....One could make a reasonable case that its already too late to even enjoy life, in general, at that accelerated age. :(
New too adorable magui , I have felt the same... Like is there hope for me? Etc ... But I seem interview with Carlson , he too hates to lose.. Ficher"winning is everything "
Am I saying that you need to be madly obsessed and take it to the extreme? Absolutely. Just kidding ! Lol. But yes that urge is beneficial.. In fact there may be something said about having emotions tied into as it serve sort of mental stimulus ... And for the 95% that say you can't make gm... Just watch me ... Arnold swarzenager had this saying that he loved to hear when people say it can't be done or no one has before.. Then I could be the first! That's a great opportunity to have ... I find quotes like that inspiring and I generally like to be inspired. Keep your confidence level high. I think that's an important factor, of your overall approach
I get mad when i lose too. The worst is when I have completely winning positions. And throw the game. I even get disappointed with some wins if they were just so-so games
Dont worry you will be alright as long as you want to be around 1800-2000 range, I used to play chess when I was younger but gave up altogether after college and restarted at the age of 30, while I am doing a-ok I think I would have progressed faster when I was in teens as compared to now.
Thanks for the advice Chess_gg. I'm not just frustrated by chess, it also makes me sad when I win, and I look at my games and see all the mistakes and blunders even in the wins.
Sometimes when I'm solving tactics puzzles, an overwhelming feeling of creepiness will come over me. I feel like I'm beginning to learn a strange visual langauge invented by psychotic mimes, the symbols of which don't have any meaning in external reality, but only within the alternate reality of the chess board. The pieces themselves seem to have a malicious life of their own, all they want to do is *take*, in their silent, scary way. They're like evil puppets, and remind me of the movie Puppetmaster.
I don't like to attack people, and when I really think about it, I don't like to checkmate people, because i know how bad they must feel.
I remember in a recent thread here I asked what's the most upset you've seen someone get at a tournament, and someone told the story of a small child. Playing chess had put so much frustration, fear, and stress on this young boy that he actually peed in his pants during a tournament game, and then continued playing with pee-soaked pants. That's how upset it makes people. When I really think about it, do I enjoy chess? I don't know if I do. Here's a question to ponder, what if Satan really exists, and what if he invented chess? What if this is actually an evil game?
I'm 35, and it took me the past 3 months to get to 1400 level tactics, and an estimated 1300 live rating. I'm actually more active on FICS, and so I'm 1500 over there. In reality, I've been playing online "on and off" for about a year. If this progress holds constant, in about 10 years I'll have a pretty good game. Unfortunately, I expect that as I get older, it'll be more difficult to learn new things, and so it'll probably mean 15 years to meet the model's 10 year expectations. That'll make me 50 years old by the time I get to 2000+, making it 15 years before retirement age (assuming the U.S. government doesn't extend it), which is quite acceptable for me. At my current rate of decay, I will probably look like Old Ben Kenobi by the time I get any good. This isn't a career or anything, just a fun distraction for when I retire over a chessboard with a single malt in one hand, and a cigar in the other, assuming the American Healthcare system allows me to see this day lol.
In my experience, you won't see progress immediately, unless you're a prodigy, and so let's get our expectations in order. You'll have long droughts, and new benchmarks that occur in streaks. I suppose the old saying applies; things get worse before they get better. It took Tiger Woods a number of years of mediocrity to adjust to his new golf swing, and now he's "player of the year", for what it's worth. I suspect based on the numbers that another masters win is just a matter of time, assuming there aren't any more of Tiger's "transgressions", which I've yet to rule out.
This is why it's necessary to add a buffer to your expectations, and have a reasonable margin of error for your projections.
It took 8 years for Magnus Carlsen to become grandmaster and 11 years for Bobby Fischer. It means you still have a time... Depending on your movitation.
And if you added their ages when they qualified for the Grandmaster title together, it would still be under 30!
Hey, adorable...don't think for one second that I believe you are not "full of horse feathers".
Afterall, I did think that you were Haywood back when you were pretending to be a kid. You did that with such...such...aplomb!
I never pretended to be a kid or given any age other than my real one (30) on this site. This is another assumption of yours just like you assumed I was Haywood. Also, what's with your discouraging comment that "most chess players won't improve much". That is not a truism, and it's like you're trying to convince people not to try and get better. An IM told me that we are ALL capable of massive increases in chess skill, no matter what our current ELO levels or ages. And yes, I know what you said is not about people being capable but about actually achieving it, however, I still don't see the point of making such a negative statement, especially considering that you are probably one of those people who had the privelege of learning chess at a young age. You don't know what's it like to learn chess as an adult and have to deal with everyone saying "you can't do this, you're too old to be good at this." Instead you probably had the opposite, you probably had your parents there every step of the way encouraging you saying "you're getting better, you can be a GM just put your mind to it". So someone like yourself who had all that encouragment is now discouraging other people? People can become strong chess players learning as adults, there's more than enough proof in this thread to confirm that. And most chess players WILL get a lot better no matter who they are, as long as they keep playing.
started playing tournament chess somewhat regularly at 21 and gained 900 ELO since then achieved NM at 25. of course you can improve a lot in adulthood. i think there is a lot to be gained by playing through the games of great attacking players and of course reviewing your own completed games on your own, checking it against a masters db and then against an engine. if you can use the initiative well, your opponents usually will eventually crack under pressure and you can progress quickly. i feel when you play aggressive chess you can create more chances for yourself than you would otherwise. fight for those squares! :-) [imagine your pieces exerting a force field of control and strive to increase it or at least preserve it - transform it to your advantage!]
Thank you for yet another comment that shows people can improve significantly as adults.
Someone's mom being in the same house as them doesn't mean they're a kid, now does it?
I like you, so I want you to keep your trophy, and I may even give you another one sometime. I just think the comment about "most chess players won't improve" is annoying, discourgaing, and most of all, wrong.
And if I do keep playing I can improve more than just "a couple hundred points", I already went from 800 to 1474 in this year alone. And this is a real 1474 rating since my average opponent ELO is also in the 1400s. Furthermore it's a live standard rating. Where is your live standard rating?
Consider this, I have not read one chess book yet, nor have I studied any GM games. I think when I actually read my first chess book on positional strategy (such as My System or Reassess your Chess) I'll probably improve "a couple hundred points" just from that alone.
well guess what. even if you "improve" ? "a couple hundred points" ? you will still be a zero? have you ever considered that possibility?

Well...since we're talking about serious life endangering experiences...
in 1931, I was returning from my 3rd coastal circunavigation in my Optimist, I had all 12 sails up..I don't want to exagerate...but I had at least 12.000 Sq. feet of sail up, when suddenly....a meteor fell 100 yards in front of me....
It built a wave that was more, much more taller than a Tsunami...it was in fact the only registered (so far),
...a Tsunami to the square...the king of waves...
The night before I had noticed that when I left port, 345 days before, I had forgoten to attach the rudder, and my keel was bitten by a vicious Killer Whale 23 days before, after I ran into the Orca at 300 knots boat speed, my average cruising speed...so there I was alone, in my 7 foot yacht, all that sail up, sailing at around 67 knots, in 123 knots winds....when....well the metoer hit the water..."Plop"....man you think Forest Gump was in deep S**T when he was piloting Apollo 13....this was much worse....this was the Larry the Cable guy goes to war seas.....
The impact was so violent I dropped my nail clipper overboard...I knew all my hopes of cuting the lines and ditch the mast were gone...no nail clipper....I knew I was doomed...I had ran out of butter, too....
The first wave hit me head on, I automatically went into an uncontrolable
...yes...the vicious
...this is no mast in the water thing, no Sir.......this is when the wave is so big, it turns your sails upsidedown in the mast...its confusing....the clew becomes the tack, the head becomes the clew...and worse...the ropes get turned inside out...you are now sailing holding on to the ropes's core...and that hurts your hands....well hand..since I had broken the week before one arm, a leg, 13 ribs and twisted my ancle while grilling a steak in 300 foot waves...
It was scary..but I was not affraid...I followed SD's advice and had a whole bunch of paper plates to tell the Coast guard where I was....
Oh well...gotta go now....but to cut a long story short....in my knockup, the boat flipped longitudinally 23 times before it came to a stop, bow down...yes...my stern was mooning the moon, (can you do that??)...I was under water holding my breath for 45 minutes, when sudenly....the boat righted it self....I was lucky....my TV didn't get wet, and my extensive of alreadt filled SUDOKU puzzles was also dry....that day I crossed the Horn once more, and landed in the Azores, where I had a deliciuous Dolphin steak....

Loft™ font family
Designed by Julien Janiszewski in 2007
About Loft™ font family
Loft is a large family of seven weights, each with an italic partner. Strikingly, counter widths for all the weights remain the same. As weights increase from Hairline to Mammoth, the characters extend by building stroke thickness outside the counter.
More structural interest comes from the way Janiszewski has handled the stroke terminations. In characters like the e, s, and c, they are cut on the same horizontal plane, while the termination of the vertical strokes and the over-dots of the i and j have been clipped at an angle.
Loft is space-efficient in lighter weights while making an increasingly stronger statement as the designs become heavier. Taken as a whole, the Loft typeface family is distinctive, versatile, and always intriguing."

The inability to find a job has prompted many professional-level people to instead become entrepreneurs. Whether it is a preference or an attempt to adapt to the 21st century working environment and cobble out a living, entrepreneurialism is on the rise.
This report from Forbes suggests that regardless of the reasoning behind the movement, there is a commonality among entrepreneurs, quitting is not an option, and they are not afraid to fail.
The demands of today's fiercely competitive global marketplace require the entrepreneurial spirit and if you lack it, you will quickly begin to lose ground – losing your impact and relevancy along the way.

The last known photo of Henry Young. It was taken in 1971, about three months before he paroled and disappeared.
"Murder in the First"
Actor Kevin Bacon has had many notable roles, including playing Henry Young in the 1995 film "Murder in the First." Although the movie is said to be based on a true story, it is a work of fiction. Here are the facts.
|The film
|The reality
In the movie, Kevin Bacon's character was locked in a dungeon for three years in solitary confinement.
Henry Young really was imprisoned in Alcatraz. It was a tough prison in the 1940s, but Young wasn't in solitary for years.
Bacon's Henry Young was imprisoned for stealing $5 to feed his sister.
The real Henry Young was in Alcatraz for bank robbery. By age 22, the sometimes carnival worker already had done time in Washington state and Montana prisons for multiple felonies.
"Murder in the First" suggests that Young died in his Alcatraz cell.
Young's story actually played out for decades in Washington, where he was sent to serve a life sentence after admitting a 1934 murder in Everett.
Bacon's character in the film was disfigured and crippled.
Prison records show that Young was in excellent physical and mental condition when he was paroled in 1972. The slender 62-year-old left prison and disappeared. The state in 1999 legally declared him dead.

Swedes can't find their stroke at Gothenburg Invite

Thirteen teams competed in the tournament with Scottsbluff taking the top prize with the low team score of 312. McCook was the runner-up with 317.
Gothenburg placed 13th with a team score of 423.
Adam Speck birdied his first hole and went on to lead the Swedes with an 86.
Adam had a good first round and ran into some trouble on the back nine, Gothenburg golf coach Don Graham said.

Posted by Royce Young
Micky Arison had a pretty good year. LeBron James and Chris Bosh came to South Beach, the Heat made it to The Finals and his franchise is set up to compete for championships for at least the next four or five years. He's got maybe the most visible, hottest franchise in the league and the Heat are making some money.
Except it wasn't really a great year for Arison, in terms of money.
According to Forbes, Arison lost an estimated $1.3 billion (with a "b") last year. Arison is the majority owner of Carnival Cruise Lines, and his share price decreased 28 percent because of the poor U.S. economy. Just with the cruise business alone, Arison lost the money and was named one of the magazine's biggest losers for 2011.
Arison was one of the five owners to vote against the league's new collective bargaining agreement, saying he did it in "protest" of the new deal. He was also fined during the lockout $500,000 because he tweeted to an upset fan that they were "barking at the wrong owner."
Arison wasn't one of the so-called "hardliners" that were pushing for a hard cap and tougher system, but you can see why some of these owners wanted to guarantee themselves profits with their franchies. Due to the sagging economy, their primary businesses have taken a hit and now they're looking for their basketball organization to make a little.
Arison recently was ranked No. 75 by Forbes in its top 400 richest Americans, but with a $1.3 billion hit to his wallet, you've got to think that might change a bit.

You all think it's funny, but I lost $178 million myself last year. That's 8% of my overall net worth, and it hurts! I'm asking you as fellow citizens that when your envy begins to get to you, try to remember that we super wealthy are people just like the rest of you-- only better. So try to have a heart-- and stop dwelling on the fact that my kids will have their own personal jets by the time yours will get their first bycicles. And then go back to whatever squalid, filth-infested occupy movement at which you are currently squatting and pray for rain so it will wash the stench off of your grubby, soiled, nat-infested bodies.

Even this Micky Arison is so rich because he inherited the Carnival Cruise Lines from his father, his father also founded the Heat in Miami, so Micky also inherited that... There are some that are able to live the "American dream" but most people, you included from your description of yourself, are not able to because there is an elite group of wealthy people that dominate the wealth of this world. The fact that he is still a multi-billionaire after losing $1.3 billion is really kind of sickening knowing how many people can't even get a job or work for meager wages while he has billions of dollars that he certainly does not need. Anyways, just wanted to show that he did not work hard to make his billions, he was simply born into the right place at the right time.

Forbes: Heat owner Micky Arison lost $1.3 billion
As a guy that works for himself but has also tried to succeed in a few other businesses in his life but failed, I have nothing but respect for any billionaire out there. Everybody smashing these owners has no idea how difficult it is to succeed in business. Most of these owners didn't start with or make their fortune in the NBA, they started a very long time ago somewhere else, invested their money, worked very hard and took tremendous risks to get where they are today. I'm not bitter towards these people... if anything I envy them because they've done what 99.99999999 percent of people on this planet can't even dream of doing.

Forbes: Heat owner Micky Arison lost $1.3 billion
It just amazes me how many so-called 'open-minded' people turn on and attack someone for being a successful entreprenuer - which means having the guts to risk it all, busting one's rumpus, and being the major reasons that THOUSANDS of people have jobs. As if the measure of one's success is somehow a BAD thing. $21B? $19B? GREAT! Good for him. i guess i shouldn't be all that surprised. Envy is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Children's LiteratureThis suspenseful novel is based on a true story of a teenage spy during WWII. Suzanne David is 13 when the war invades her life suddenly and violently in May of 1940. From the opening chapter, the book moves at a rapid pace and readers are given a unique perspective on life in occupied France. From rationing to being thrown out of her house with 30 minutes notice, Suzanne's life turns upside down. The hardships of war that citizens of an occupied country suffer is a topical theme. Suzanne continues to train as a singer during the war, and her unusual occupation—a singer traveling to opera houses around France—attracts the attention of Dr. Leclerc. Her family physician is actually a head spy with the resistance, and he recruits Suzanne to carry messages. She does, and manages to survive her experience despite many hair-raising moments. (Literally, as her first hiding place for messages is in her hair.) The action will have readers on the edge through the tense conclusion, and the epilogue is not to be missed. It is a message from the real Suzanne David that includes an important reference which explains the title of the novel. 2003, Dell Laurel-Leaf/Random House, Ages 11 to 14.

In this week's edition of, Hey, Bill, Whatcha Watching, I truly reveal the inner sanctum of my soul by confessing to the fact that I love smoking hot women who likes to show off their bodies for fun, attention, pay, or any of the myriad of complicated reasons for which I promise not to ask follow ups. When a gorgeous woman starts taking off her clothes, don't ask her why. Just look heavenward and say a little thanks or something. It's all kind of theoretical to me.
This weekend I've been watching tons of cool short form bits of sextastic. Oh, Erika Mitdank teasing white hot in a white tank top, Sara Jean Underwood eating pizza, drinking Bud, and flashing underboob, Katy Perry shot up-butt in concert flashing tuchus suprema, Adriana Lima nipple slipping during a bikini shoot, Maria Menounos deep bends for her health and ours, Hilary Duff incredibly hot BTS, and Kimberley Garner BTS modeling her own swimwear bikini line. Heck, all that and I didn't have to pay $100 to watch two sweaty guys jousting. Just the girls. Always, just the girls. Enjoy.

The Celebrate Israel Festival on May 31 at Pier 94, slated to be the largest gathering to date of Israeli-Americans in New York.
It's been a bumpy road for the Palestinians lately.
Recent staged spectacles that were supposed to whip up sympathy for them and put Israel in a bad light again – the Nakba Day (May 15) and Naksa Day (June 4) marches on Israel's borders, the flotilla, the flytilla – have been disappointments at best, if not outright flops. And the Palestinians' long-hyped independent-statehood bid at the UN in September is meeting growing opposition from the West.
The Obama administration is believed to have signaled that it will veto the attempt in the Security Council. Germany and Italy have come out squarely against it, and last week 100 members of the European Parliament signeda letter decrying it, noting that "past agreements between the parties and international mediators clearly reject unilateral actions."
Last week a meeting of the Middle East Quartet – the U.S., EU, UN, and Russia – that was supposed to find a way to head off the Palestinians' statehood bid and restart Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, ended inconclusively. Two Israeli newspapers say the sticking point was – in return for Israeli diplomatic concessions – Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov backing the Palestinians' ongoing rock-solid refusal to take that seemingly innocuous step.
It all left the Palestinians very upset with the U.S.
As Reuters reported,
[T]he Palestinian leadership, in unusually harsh criticism of Washington, on Tuesday held the United States responsible for "racist" Israeli policies it said had sabotaged the peace process.The Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) executive committee convened in Ramallah after a meeting in Washington of the Quartet failed to announce any progress toward reviving peace talks.
"The only option facing the world today, especially the United States, is to use all tools to oblige the occupiers to halt their racist, expansionary policy," the PLO said in a statement released after its meeting.
"The United States bears the prime responsibility for the continuation of this racist [Israeli] policy," it said.
Somehow the "peace" cadences are hard to detect here – especially when you consider that "racist" Israel created the Palestinian Authority, has endured 17 years of terrorism from it without dissolving it, and last year froze the allegedly "expansionary" settlement construction for ten months in a fruitless bid to get the PA to discuss the two-state solution; and that the U.S., for its part, has showered the PA with $4 billion in aid since the mid-1990s and, particularly under Obama, for better or worse, made Palestinian statehood a central goal of its foreign policy.
But annoyance can run both ways, and many in Congress are – finally – getting fed up with the Palestinian Authority. In a nonbinding resolution, the House has voted 407-6 to suspend aid to the PA if it keeps refusing to negotiate with Israel. Legislators are also riled by the PA's unilateral-statehood endeavor, recent cozying-up to Hamas, and other matters.
Trying to calm the winds, administration official Jacob Walles tolda House panel that "our assistance to the Palestinian people is an important building block of our efforts to achieve a comprehensive peace in the Middle East that will allow all people there – Israelis, Palestinians and others – to live their lives in peace, in dignity and in security."
His words would come as a surprise to Nir Nachshon, a 27-year-old Israeli man who three weeks ago was pulledout of his car and savagely beaten after mistakenly driving into the Palestinian Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya. Thanks to a Palestinian Authority that is saturatedwith anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic incitement, Israelis know that merely entering a Palestinian area means taking their life in their hands.
As Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) said in response to the administration's claim that its aid to the PA gives it "strong leverage":
Is it that our assistance hasn't given us leverage or that we haven't really used it? The Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act [2006] requires the Palestinian Authority to stop incitement and recognize the Jewish state of Israel's right to exist if it wants to keep receiving U.S. assistance. Given the Palestinian Authority's record and given U.S. law, how can we justify continued assistance?
Or as Rep. Ben Chandler (D-Ky) told Walles and other administration officials at the session:
Surely, you all can understand how that is troubling to people in Congress that we – and frankly, I think, to the citizens of this country – that we continue to provide substantial aid and we feel like we are not getting cooperation. That is the situation that I think a lot of us feel cannot continue and, at some point, we're going to have to just say, you know, if you guys are not going to cooperate, we're going to have to cut the aid off.
With the Palestinians having fooled most of the people for so much time, could it be that their day in the sun is finally waning? It may be too soon to say so. But there are signs that the totally unwarranted spell they have cast for so long is starting to fray.

When Glenn Beck's upcoming Jerusalem rally was first announced, he saidit would be called "Restore Courage" – modeled on his "Restoring Honor" rally last year in Washington that drew half a million. Or as Beck put it: "Last summer, we set out to restore honor in Washington, DC. This summer, it's time to restore courage. It is time for us to courageously stand with Israel."
In reaction to the Palestinian Authority-Hamas unity deal signed in Cairo, Israel decided to turn off the spigot. It halted the transfer to the PA of over $100 million in customs and tax revenues.
The day after last week's announcement of a Fatah-Hamas rapprochement in Cairo, Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas said he would keep pursuing peace talks with Israel. Almost concurrently, top Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar said Hamas would stick to its stance of neither recognizing nor negotiating with Israel, but "if Fatah wants to negotiate with Israel over trivialities, they can."
"With the winds of change blowing through the Arab world, it's more urgent than ever that we try to seize the opportunity to create a peaceful solution between the Palestinians and the Israelis," President Obama saidlast week after meeting with Israeli president Shimon Peres.
