Midwest Living Review
A chocolate-lover's dream come true, this combination candy store, coffeehouse and art gallery in the Hell's Half Mile section of downtown Bay City offers a comfortable spot to sip a cappuccino, nibble a European-style pastry and enjoy the changing art exhibits that adorn the walls. Attractively decorated in warm oranges and browns, the Sweet Boutique exudes an inviting, hip vibe where you'll want to linger long after your coffee is gone. Once a year, the Sweet Boutique joins B.A.R.T.S. Brew Pub to present a beer and chocolate tasting event, pairing six chocolates with six beers. We were assured it tastes better than it sounds and sells out quickly. Should you miss the festivities, however, you can easily purchase your chocolates at the boutique and cross the river to B.A.R.T.S. in the Midland Street Historic District to create your own beer and chocolate pairings.

Author has written 3 stories for Twilight.
I am a 47 year old working mom of 3. My now-19 year old son (he's in college now!) told me sometime during the spring of 2008 that I needed to read "Twilight", so in September 2008, when Hurricane Ike left us without power (and work) I thought "no time like the present"... I went to the first Target I could find that had power and purchased the hardcover (other people were busy buying stuff like food, water, and batteries). Five days later I had bought and read the entire series (I didn't need to interrupt my quality reading time with trivial things like work, sleep, interacting with my family members, laundry or personal hygiene - showering is SO overrated when I can just grab a beanie and go).
The first step in recovery is admitting that you have a problem. Problem? What problem?
My loving husband helps enable my Twilight addiction by giving me Christmas gifts like tickets to TwiCon in Dallas (summer 2009), and has commented that he wasn't able to find a blow up RPattz doll for me for Christmas this year. (My avatar is a picture of me and Christine - A Little Distracted - at TwiCon in Dallas...I'm the one on the right.) We got to meet Kellan Lutz at TwiCon. Christine and I were also fortunate enough to attend the Twilight Convention in Houston in April 2010, where we got to meet Peter Facinelli, Michael Welch, Gil Birmingham, Kiowa Gordon, Christopher Heyerdahl and Charlie Bewley.
My poor 12 year old daughter is confused. She is Team Jacob... I wonder sometimes how we can possibly be related.
My 7 year old son is quick to point out anything Twilight-related that flashes across the TV screen and always wants to listen to the "Baseball song" (Muse's "Supermassive Black Hole") or "Eyes on Fire" (which at least he got the title correct - score!).
My most prized possessions are my iPod and my Sony Digital Reader (the cover is signed by the celebs from the TwiCon and Twilight Convention), neither of which I am ever without.
I'm a Reader, not a Writer, but I will keep trying to write if anyone seems to be interested in what I've put out there - maybe I'll get brave and include lemons. Update: I've tested the waters in the lemon ocean, see "My Imaginary Friend" IF YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO LEGITIMATELY READ THEM!!!!
I've finally joined up with the 21st century and I'm on Twitter! You can follow me at: http://twitter.com/NoWayWithWords
Okay - I'm posting my first multi-chapter fic, "My Imaginary Friend", and the link(s) to the playlist for the story is:

I am NOT a linear writer, so I have the beginning, middle, and end of the story already written, but it's been a convoluted process and I am still fitting the puzzle pieces together... I have the music for each chapter (usually two songs per chapter) already laid out in the playlist.

Entries tagged with: St Vincent
by Andrew Sacher
St. Vincent is set to release her much-anticipated self-titled album next week (2/25) via Loma Vista, but you can now listen to it in full ahead of its release date. It's streaming below (via The Guardian), or you can listen at NPR. It's got the arty eccentricities we've come to expect from St. Vincent, but it's also some of her most accessible stuff to date. Check it out.
As discussed, her tour hits NYC on February 26 at Terminal 5 (sold out), but two days before that she'll be doing an album signing at Rough Trade NYC (2/24). Head to that store starting at noon Friday (2/21) to get a wristband and then return Monday (2/24) to purchase the album and have it signed. The signing starts at 9 PM and space is limited.
Listen to St. Vincent below...

"Recording with Michael Gira and Swans was a dream come true. Proud to have been a part of an epicly great record. #johncongleton" - St. Vincent

Swans at Warsaw in 2013 (more by Caroline Harrison)
Swans are finally set to follow up their excellent 2012 LP The Seer with a new album, To Be Kind, on May 13 via Michael Gira's Young God label in North American and Mute worldwide. Gira points out that some of the material was developed during their 2012/13 tour, so though the full tracklist hasn't been revealed yet, it seems likely that the title track is the opening song on Swans' recent live album, Not Here / Not Now. Another song from that live album, "Bring the Sun," has been confirmed for the new LP too.
Excitingly, the album features vocals "throughout the record" from Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent (!), plus their Mute labelmate Cold Specks and cabaret singer Little Annie, who has opened for Swans before. Gira produced the album with John Congleton, who also produced the new St. Vincent album. Like The Seer, this one will be just over two hours long.
For this album Gira will be joined by Norman Westberg, Christoph Hahn, Phil Puleo, Thor Harris, and Christopher Pravdica.
The only currently announced Swans date is ATP Iceland, but Gira just announced a solo tour of Europe. All of those dates are listed, along with a live video of "To Be Kind," below...

Veruca Salt reform w/ original line-up, working on new LP, playing streaming benefit show (line-up also includes St. Vincent, Jeff Tweedy, Fred Armisen & more)
by Bill Pearis
Chicago indie rock band Veruca Salt caused quite a sensation with their 1994 debut single "Seether" and subsequent full-length, American Thighs. The band suffered from an overproduced second album and co-frontperson Nina Gordon left the band shortly after. Louise Post carried on with Veruca Salt (with varying backing members) up through most of the '00s, releasing IV in 2006.
After calling it quits, the original line-up (Gordon, Post, Jim Shapiro, and Steve Lack) announced in March of this year via Facebook that they were reforming -- "for now let's just say this: hatchets buried, axes exhumed" -- and working on new material. The band are currently recording a new album with Brad Wood, who produced American Thighs (and Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville, among other '90s indie rock LPs).
Louise and Nina's first live, public performance together in 15 years will happen in Los Angeles on December 18 as part of Second City's 2013 24-Hour Improv & Music Benefit. Their performance happens at 10 AM CST (11 AM EST) and, like the rest of the benefit, will be broadcast live online.
The event, while Chicago-based, has performances happening from all over the country from December 17 at 6 PM CST to December 17 at 6 PM CST, including St. Vincent performing at 6:30 PM CST from somewhere in Brooklyn. Other performers playing the benefit include Bob Mould, Jeff Tweedy (who also plays a related benefit in Chicago in January), Fred Armisen and more. The full schedule for the Second City's 2013 24-Hour Improv & Music Benefit is listed, along with a few classic Veruca Salt clips, below...

St. Vincent shares clip of new music, tour dates, covered Neil Young w/ Pearl Jam & Carrie Brownstein (video)
St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark), who spent most of last year and this year on her David Byrne collaboration, is finally looking like she's set to release the followup to 2011's excellent Strange Mercy. She just announced a European tour, and in the video for the announcement, there's a 30-second clip of new music. Check out the video and list of tour dates below.
Annie also teamed up with Pearl Jam and Sleater-Kinney/Wild Flag/Portlandia's Carrie Brownstein in Dallas over the weekend (11/15) to cover Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World." Check out a video of that (via Stereogum) below.
Neil himself will be in NYC soon for four nights at Carnegie Hall.

The National release new song for Hunger Games soundtrack (listen); St. Vincent reviews new Arcade Fire (read)
The National at Barclays Center in June (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
St. Vincent is the latest artist to review a record on Michael Azerrad's website The Talkhouse. Her target? The new Arcade Fire:
Google search #1: Madonna "Like a Virgin" bass sound.Okay, so maybe "review" is a stretch in this case, but whatever St. Vincent wrote about the album and/or her Google searches is quite a read.
(The bass sound on "We Exist" vaguely reminded me of Madonna's 1984 classic Like a Virgin.)
Result: Sequential Circuits Prophet 5
(Unconfirmed and will likely need to follow Nile Rodgers on Twitter and hope he @replies to my query directly.)
Unsatisfied, I contacted Jeremy Gara (Arcade Fire drummer) and asked what they'd used for the bass. Turns out it was NOT a Prophet but a Korg MS-20 -- the vintage kind, not a new one or Reason, nerds! He even sent me a picture of the exact one! I was glad to have one pressing matter settled, but I continued down a Madonna rabbit hole and downloaded The Immaculate Collection. No "Oh Father"?????? Grievous oversight, Sire Records.
Related search: Is Seymour Stein still alive?
Result: Yes.
Google search #2: Very-tall-men-fronted rock*^ bands
(Related: Glenn Danzig height)
*Co-fronted! No disrespect, Regine!
^Catch-all term for music in 2013 featuring at least one guitar
Results: Turns out Bryan Ferry isn't even that tall: 6'1". Some people just seem tall. Also Joey Ramone. (Apple autocorrected this to "ram one" -- usually so puritanical, Apple! Loosening your tie or was that a Joel Osteen-esque slip-up?)
In other St. Vincent news, she is part of the recently-released Boardwalk Empire soundtrack, which also features Elvis Costello, Neko Case, Rufus Wainwright, Patti Smith, and Matt Berninger of The National (among others), and can be streamed HERE.
And speaking of The National songs on soundtracks, after contributing a song to Game of Thrones last year, they now appear on the upcoming Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack along with Patti Smith, Antony, The Weeknd, and more. The soundtrack will be out on November 19 via Lionsgate/Republic and you can stream The National's contribution, "Lean," now, below...

Shearwater ready collaborative/covers LP with help from Wye Oak, Sharon Van Etten, Clinic & more (stream a track)
Fellow Travelers wasn't supposed to be a full-length record, so I'm a little surprised to admit that it's my favorite Shearwater album so far. Somehow it slipped under the door.The new Shearwater album, Fellow Travelers, is out November 26 on Sub Pop. It's an album of covers by bands Shearwater have shared the stage with, such as Wye Oak, Folk Implosion, Sharon Van Etten (a song they wrote together for Record Store Day), Coldplay, St. Vincent, Clinic and more. Additionally, many of those artists collaborated on these recordings, though not on their own songs. You can stream Shearwater's take on Xiu Xiu's "I Luv the Valley Oh!" below.
It was meant to be a small thing, maybe a home-recorded EP, to release between Animal Joy and the next full-length (for which we're in the studio right now). But it took on a life of its own. Re-imagining and renovating songs by the bands we've toured with was like leafing through a scrapbook, and brought back the highs and lows of a decade of touring, from dives in Oklahoma and squats in Slovenia to the Fillmore West, the Bataclan, and the MGM Grand (ask me about that one sometime).
-Jonathan Meiburg
No word on any tour dates yet. But for more on the album, you can read the rest of frontman Jonathan Meiburg's notes on the album -- and check out the tracklist -- below.

David Byrne & St. Vincent @ Wellmont Theatre - 6/12/13
David Byrne & St. Vincent just kicked off another tour in support their 2012 collaborative album, Love This Giant, in the NYC-area at Wellmont Theatre on Wednesday (6/12). Like they did on their last tour, they played much of Love This Giant in addition to St. Vincent material ("Northern Lights," "Marrow," "Cruel," etc) and David Byrne/Talking Heads ("Burning Down the House," "Road to Nowhere," "This Must Be the Place," etc. Pictures, videos, and the setlist from that show are in this post.
David Byrne & St. Vincent will continue touring and make their way back to the NYC-area for another show here on June 29 at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets for that show are still available.

David Byrne & St. Vincent @ Williamsburg Park, 2012 (more by Chris La Putt)
As mentioned, David Byrne and Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) are continuing to tour for last year's Love This Giant album. With those dates -- including one (no longer two) at Wellmont Theatre on June 12 (tickets) and one at Capitol Theatre on June 29 (tickets) -- coming up, David shares some news:
I did a record with St. Vincent (Annie Clark) last year and then we did a tour of North America and Australia that was like nothing I've ever done before--drums, keys and Annie and I supported by 8 choreographed brass players. We did the new material, but also a lot of recognizable songs, arranged for that group. The sound is incredible, and it's a bit of a visual spectacle as well. We were pretty excited at how it turned out. The critical and audience response was great too! Touring a group that size with a fairly complex show is a big financial gulp, so it has taken us a while to collect enough offers in North America and Europa, but now they are in and we kick off in a few weeks.That new EP is free to download via an email widget below.
One of our business folks had the idea that we might offer a taste of what we're up to--to those who might have missed the tour or the record or maybe thought it was some weird arty collaborative project. So we put together a downloadable EP to give folks that taste. The EP has one song that didn't make it on the record (a waltz featuring some lovely glass harmonica), a couple of energized remixes of some of the album tunes and two live tracks of the sort of more familiar material we do in the set.
Meanwhile David's musical Here Lies Love has extended its run through July 28 and there are still tickets available.
Love This Giant dates are listed, along with the widget for the free EP, below.

Doveman (aka Thomas Bartlett) has some upcoming shows this spring, including two of his Burgundy Stain Sessions in NYC. The first of those happens at BAM on April 27 as part of the Crossing Brooklyn Ferry festival, whose lineup was recently expanded. Tickets for the day Doveman plays and 3-day passes for the festival are still available.
His next session takes place at Le Poisson Rouge on June 7. Guests for this one include Paul Noonan (of Bell X1) and Trixie Whitley. It's likely that more will be announced too. Tickets for the LPR show are on sale now.
In addition to appearing at the Dessner-curated Crossing Brooklyn Ferry festival, Doveman will also contribute to The National's new album, Trouble Will Find Me, along with Sufjan Stevens and Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry, both of whom, like Doveman, contributed to High Violet. It also features St. VIncent, Sharon Van Etten (whose most recent album, Tramp, was produced by Aaron Dessner), and Nona Marie of Dark Dark Dark (via Gothamist). Have you heard The National's new single from that album?
Doveman is also appearing in NYC even sooner as a special guest with past collaborator Martha Wainwright at her City Winery show on April 17. Tickets for that show are on sale now. Martha has other upcoming dates posted at her website.
UPDATE: Thomas will also be at LPR in May to assist his bandmate Sam Amidon whose forthcoming Nonesuch debut he co-produced.

David Byrne & St. Vincent @ Williamsburg Park, 2012 (more by Chris La Putt)
St. Vincent and I did a North American tour last fall--with 8 brass players and choreography by Annie B Parson. We had a great time. The response was pretty good too--you can see reviews here. NPR even shot some video, which you can see here. We do songs from our record, Love this Giant, but also some fairly well-known stuff from our respective catalogues. It's an expensive show for us to mount, but I have to say there is nothing else out there like it.David Byrne & St. Vincent's 2013 tour kicks off with two shows at The Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ on June 11 and 12. They'll also play The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY on June 29. As David mentioned, presale tickets will be available on Tuesday (2/26) at 10 AM with the regular on-sale happening Friday (3/1) at noon.
We will be going back out in North America in June and July. We're making some tickets available to purchase a few days early at LoveThisGiant.com ahead of the general public--starting tomorrow 2/26 at 10AM through Thursday 2/28 at 5PM. Hopefully this will save you a few dollars on all the extra charges we live music fans are often saddled with. There will always be fees, but we're trying.

Annie Clark may not have released a St. Vincent record this year, but she did tour quite a bit in support of 2011's Strange Mercy.

Jennie Garth has taken up for her longtime friend and colleague Tori Spelling, after their Beverly Hills 90210 castmate Ian Ziering summed up the latter's True Tori reality show — showing Spelling's painful marital woes with husband Dean McDermott — as a "train wreck."
"I know that that really hurt Tori," the former Kelly Taylor told HuffPost Live Thursday, "because people can take that in a very wrong way."

In May, the 50-year-old Ziering — whose regained a measure of relevance in the cult hit Sharknado — told Access Hollywood, "I don't know what to make of [the show] . . . it's a train wreck, it's a train wreck!"
Said Garth: "On one hand, he does love Tori in the way we all love each other and the bond that we all share.

"It was a little harsh — just the words, 'How do you not watch a train wreck?'"
Garth admitted that True Tori — which included deeply-emotional counseling sessions between the embattled couple — "wasn't for everyone," and that even she was uncomfortable watching it "because I love [Tori] so much.

Union Minister Kapil Sibal on Friday heaped scorn on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its internal feud, following senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani's initial disinclination to contest from Gandhinagar.
"We knew this from the very beginning. More such bickering within the BJP is set to unfold soon. It has been his (Modi's) idea to rule the country and ignore others, including the BJP. Perhaps, Modi has no idea that whenever, anyone any monarch had tried to rule the nation, the history has not been kind to them. It's the people who will teach him a lesson," Sibal said.
"What can I say on this, you should better go and ask Lal Krishna Advani, infact, I have complete sympathy with him," Sibal added.
He also attacked the media for only promoting Modi and not listening to other BJP leaders.
On Thursday, BJP patriarch Advani accepted to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Gandhinagar constituency.
It was on Wednesday, when BJP had decided to field L.K Advani from Gujarat's Gandhinagar constituency, overruling the stalwart's desire to contest the elections from Bhopal.

Andre 3000's Custom Jumpsuits On Display at Art Basel
Outkast wunderkinder Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000 has always been a student of artistic expression. Dre's Benjamin Bixby clothing line is now defunct because his target demographic would rather wear their pants below their thighs.
Celebs Out & About: Andre 3000, Tamron Hall
Outkast member Andre 3000 arrived at Late Show With David Letterman in New York today. Andre and his bandmate Big Boi brought their #ATLast 20th anniversary reunion to Atlanta last weekend. All 3 nights were sold out.

Outkast Invades Atlanta Tonight; Solange Replaced With Future
Hardcore Outkast fans will rock out with their faves for the next 3 nights at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta.
Outkast brings the much-awaited 20th Anniversary Tour to their hometown beginning tonight, Friday, September 26, through Sunday, Sept. 28.
Big Boi and Sherlita Patton Are Off the Market
Outkast rapper Big Boi and his wife, local entrepreneur Sherlita Patton, have dropped their plans for divorce.
If you recall, Sherlita filed for divorce from the rap mogul on Oct. 2.
At the time Sherlita stated the marriage was "irretrievably broken." She sought alimony, an equitable division of marital property and attorney's fees, and child support for the couple's two children, son Cross (who just made the Honor Roll at school) and daughter Jordan, who graduated high school last year.

Natural beauties Monica Brown, right, and Janelle Monáe posed together at Outkast's Georgia Reunion concert at CounterPoint Music Festival in Rome, GA over the weekend. For some reason the group chose to perform in Rome (of all places) rather than in their hometown of Atlanta. But that didn't stop hardcore fans from making the trip to Kingston Downs in the driving rain to watch their favorite group belt out their hits.
Video Sneak Peek of Andre 3000 As Rock Legend Jimi Hendrix
A video clip of the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side, featuring Outkast member Andre 3000 Benjamin was released online yesterday. The film will focus on Jimi's life while he was still living in New York. No U.S. release date has been set yet.
A left-handed guitarist, Jimi taught himself to play a right handed Fender Stratocaster guitar — upside down.
Born in Seattle, Washington in 1942, Jimi moved to England when he was 24. A year later, Jimi's legend was born when he played the Monterey Pop Festival in the U.S. At the end of his set he lit his guitar on fire onstage.
Like most falling stars, Jimi died of a drug overdose in a London flat in 1970.
Watch the clip after the break.

Children's LiteratureThe subtitle, "Forty Daring American Women Who Were Second to None," explains it all. The author has chosen the forty, each of whom achieved a significant American "first," purely for their inspiration and special meaning to her. They come from many fields—art, literature, business, social work, science, sport, music—and from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first. Each woman is allotted a full-page photograph (the earliest, like Phyllis Wheatley and Sacagawea, are represented by paintings) and a three-page biography highlighting her achievements. Some, like Georgia O'Keefe, Martha Graham, and Marian Anderson, are well known, but young readers will probably find the careers of others a revelation. What about beautiful Harriet Quimby, the first woman to earn a pilot's license, who fell to her death from her plane in 1912? Or socialite Fanny Bullock Workman, who in 1899 climbed, in full skirts, to the summit of Kashmir's Pinnacle Peak? The photographs are especially striking and will bear much poring over; for example, one of rebellious poet Edna St. Vincent Millay in her demure dress, surrounded by magnolia blossoms, or of businesswoman Madam C. J. Walker with her luminous eyes and delicate jewelry, or tiny Lynn Hill, clinging to a rock as she free climbs the Nose at Yosemite. Unfortunately the pedestrian, often awkward, text does not live up to the quality of the photos or of National Geographic's usual standards. Still, these women's stories are fascinating; their courage and fortitude should prove inspiring for young adults of both sexes. 2006, National Geographic, Ages 10 up.

Time Bomb
The most difficult obstacle to making Middle East peace is the one that's ticking away from us.
- By Shmuel Rosner<p> Shmuel Rosner, a Tel Aviv-based columnist, is political editor of the Jewish Journal. </p>
We all know what peace between Israel and the Palestinians should look like. It should be, well, peaceful. It should be peace with honor and security for all — and states for all too, one for the Jewish people, one for the Palestinian people. It should be reached by adhering to the "Clinton parameters" / "Geneva Accord" / "Arab peace plan" — take your pick.
We also know that the "peace process" between Israel and Palestine (which has yet to become Palestine, and is still a Palestinian Authority) is a very frustrating process. Some would assume that it is frustrating because of the bloodshed involved. But there are many other, bloodier conflicts that do not seem as frustrating. Others would assume it is frustrating because of the stubbornness of the parties involved. But being stubborn isn't always bad. Sometimes, when it is necessary and justified, stubbornness is the quality differentiating the Churchillian leader from the average ones.
Thus, the reason the Israeli-Palestinian peace process has been so frustrating is neither the blood nor the inflexibility of leaders. It is the fact that too many people have been led to believe that there's an easy solution to this complicated problem — that too many people were led to believe that if only one real effort is made, if only Bush-Baker / Clinton-Albright / Bush-Rice / Obama-Clinton puts their foot down, if only settlers are evacuated, if only Hamas is tamed, if only incitement is stopped, if only courageous leadership is demonstrated — then peace will be no problem at all. And it will come not just easy, but also fast. It is within reach. And all that is needed is to put the final touches on the long-ago-agreed-upon principles for solution.
If only.
Over the years, many people have been led to believe that the disagreements preventing the sides from reaching a solution could all be dealt with. There were inventive ideas for dealing with borders (land swaps), challenging ideas for dealing with security (monitors and observers), bold ideas for dealing with settlements (pull out), cooperative ideas for dealing with Jerusalem (international sovereignty), and creative ideas for dealing with refugees (compensation, resettling). Yet all those people were also habitually ignoring the one problem that no idea, bold or imaginative, can overcome: the problem of time.
It really is a time bomb, waiting to explode again and again. It is the gap reflecting the tendency of Palestinians to lose their famous patience and to want agreement and implementation "now" — and the tendency of Israelis to lose their infamous impatience and to want agreement and implementation to be delayed until "some day" when "conditions are ripe." And it is not because of what some might assume: that Palestinians just can't tolerate one more minute of Israeli occupation, or that what Israelis are really after is an indefinite postponement of any resolution to the conflict. Palestinians have suffered under occupation for a very long time and can probably handle some more suffering. Most Israelis are tired of the conflict and have long ago gotten used to the fact that some of the land will not remain Israeli — will have to be divided, shared.
The time gap in expectations then exists for a very different reason. It reflects both sides' deep (and to large extent justified) mistrust in one another: Israelis' reasonable mistrust that agreement will actually lead to peace — Palestinians' understandable mistrust that Israelis will ever implement the agreed solution. The problem is that such mistrust leads to mirror-image desires. For the Palestinians, it means "now" — because they can't have faith in any promise for a better future. For Israelis it means "later" — only after they are incrementally and fully convinced that this time the Palestinians (and the rest of the Arab world) mean business and can handle business.
This time gap should be kept in mind as the two sides enter yet another round of negotiations with the world watching breathlessly, waiting for quick fixes and a happy conclusion of the conflict. It is a round that was reasonably greeted with great skepticism (as I've demonstrated and analyzed here), but later — as always happens when ceremonies and celebratory summits blur realistic vision — with much more hopeful tones. It should have been kept in mind when the American "mediator" narrows the window of opportunity from two years until agreement is reached to just one year. It should be kept in mind when the Israeli foreign minister — for reasons unknown, and calculations incomprehensible to all outsiders and most Israelis — outrageously decides that now is the time to redeclare his disbelief in the peace process. It should be kept in mind when Palestinian leaders unwisely turn an end-of-September deadline for a settlement freeze into an ultimatum.
It is all about time. Let's do a deal now — because patience is running out. Not now — because we need to verify before continuation. Now — because Iran is gaining and we need to show some positive achievements. Not now — because we need to solve the Iranian problem first and deal with lesser problems later. Now — because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not someone whose hidden intentions can be trusted. Not now — because Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas cannot really provide us with the security we want. Now — because Barack Obama only has one more year before he gets into full presidential election mode. Not now — because the political considerations of the American in chief should not be a factor when dealing with a century-old dispute.
True, both sides pretend to agree that it's time for talks. And the Americans keep pretending that even though the problems aren't easy to solve, they can come up with ideas, or prod the parties to come up with ideas (possibly "out of the box" ones) that will bridge their differences. But listen carefully to what the leaders really have in mind. What's the time frame they're talking about? "I think there can be a solution. It may be implemented over time because time is an important factor of getting the solution, both in terms of security arrangements and other things that would be difficult if they're not allowed to take place over time," Netanyahu said two months ago. "The Palestinians will have completed the bulk of the changes deemed necessary for the establishment of an independent state within a year," Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad announced two weeks ago in a document summarized by Ynetnews.
One might say the time gap isn't the real problem. All we need is for the Americans to cut everything, scheduling differences included, someplace in the middle. That's relatively easy to imagine when one talks about borders (play with the line), or Jerusalem (ditto), or settlers (keep some, evacuate others), or refugees (let them return, but only to the Palestinian side). It is relatively easy to imagine when one talks about reaching an agreement on
the principles of peace. One can even envision the many compromises necessary for reaching an agreement on the "core issues" of the conflict, to visualize the paper on which the leaders will sign.
But squaring the huge difference in expectations related to implementation and scheduling is much harder. How can one reconcile the vision of one year and that of "in 50 years' time or 100"? How can one reconcile between one year and "not in our time"? Even assuming that Obama somehow pulls out the miraculous rabbit and gets to a "yes" from both sides — not a likely scenario — it is hard to imagine how he can reconcile "yes, now" with "yes, later."

By Jim Dorney: With the 20th June date for this highly anticipated heavyweight match-up between David Haye & Wladimir Klitschko quickly approaching; Ive been trying to consider what will be the key factors in determining how the fight will play out.
Ill outline then below & finish with my own (tentative) prediction of the result.
Boxing ability - Klitschko the younger is the more fluid of the two big brothers When hes on song he has rhythm, class & puts punches in bunches together with what appears to be consummate ease. Whats frustrating about Wladimir is that he has such fluency yet seems to choose not to use it often..
Haye fights like a predator, stalking his man, and not caring particularly about holding the centre of the ring as long as he gets the opportunities hes looking for to unload to body & head. Stylistically hes deceptive he can appear more carefree than he actually is, as his balance & spatial awareness are top-class. This said, the edge here (just) goes to an on-song Klitschko But will the one who arrives on fight night be on-song & willing to let it all hang out? Only time will tell.
Advantage - Klitschko
For his size, Wladimir is by no means slow of both hand & foot, but Hayes speed for a big man is exceptional. The Londoner matches his speed with his arrogance, typically leaving his left recklessly low, which I suspect he wont do against Klitschko, at least not to begin with, out of respect for the big mans power & ability.
That said, Haye carried his left dangerously low against Jean-Marc Mormeck all night, which could have proved his undoing had Mormeck managed to find his chin cleanly more often.
Advantage - Haye
Both guys boast a great amateur heritage Klitschko arguably slightly more so with his 1996 Olympic gold medal. Haye only just came short in the amateur world championships against the Cuban Odlanier Solis, who himself is making very good progress as a pro Perhaps some day the paths of one or both of the two subjects of this article may clash with Solis in the pro ring? Heres hoping so!
In terms of professional experience Klitschko has to win out from an objective point of view. He has oodles of experience of fighting top-class heavyweights, of defending world titles & of delivering the goods under pressure. Has Haye has impressed me greatly in his pro career so far however. Going to Mormecks back yard against a partisan French crowd & coming back from being on the canvas (partially caused by a slip, mind) to win by devastating stoppage takes some balls.
Advantage - Klitschko
Punching power
Both of these guys can really crack Of that there is no doubt, and both their records attest to it. Hayes critics question whether his undoubted power at 200lbs will effectively translate across to heavyweight. To be fair to David, both his heavyweight outings so far (or all three, if you count his 2005 bout against Garry Delaney when both men weighed a little over 200lbs) have ended in stoppage with heavy knockdowns in Hayes favour.
Hayes record currently stands at 22-1-0 (21 by KO). His sole decision win came against Ismail Abdoul in 2006. This is notable for a few reasons. Firstly, those who have seen the fight noted that Haye made little attempt to go outright for the knockout, instead appearing happy to go the distance, perhaps just to get the knowledge that he could go the 12 rounds comfortably. Secondly, from 15 losses to date, Abdoul has only been stopped once, by former cruiserweight world champ Krzysztof Wlodarczyk in the 12th & final round fairly early on in his career. Abdoul has since gone the distance with numerous big hitters other than Haye, including Tomasz Adamek, Vincenzo Cantatore, Enzo Maccarinelli & Marco Huck, proving to be a very durable operator.
A number of Hayes victories have seen devastating knockouts, even over opponents who were reckoned to give him a very stern test Examples include Alexander Gurov, (whom Haye stopped with one massive right hand in around 40 seconds of the start of the fight), Jean-Marc Mormeck, Enzo Maccarinelli & Tomasz Bonin, who while I appreciate is not a world-class heavyweight operator, nonetheless was not before seen as being a walkover & sported a 37-1-0 record at the time of fighting Haye, Bonin was knocked down heavily three times and stopped mercifully by referee Ian John-Lewis at the time of 1.45 of the first round. Its the nature of knockouts such as these that have earned Hayes reputation as a chilling puncher.
Of Klitschkos impressive 52 wins, 46 have come by KO, a commanding 88% ratio compared with Hayes 95%. Wladimirs stoppage victims include Chris Byrd (second time around), Frans Botha, Jameel McCline, Lamon Brewster, Hasim Rahman & Monte Barrett (also stopped by Haye Klitschko took 7 rounds, Haye 5).
Klitschko can punch well with either hand, and as previously said, can put together excellent combinations when in the right mood. In fact, it tends to be the combinations that does for his opponents. A little like his brother Vitali, (although I believe Wladimir probably has the greater pop) Klitschko juniors is not as concussive a single-punch hitter as some, but his accuracy, momentum & superior boxing ability is usually more than enough to overwhelm his opponents within the distance.
Whilst I realise this might not a view shared by all, I actually believe that Haye possesses the bigger single punch His haymaker right hand if landed flush would put a great proportion of heavyweights to sleep with one shot. Kiltschko has a superior jab to Haye & left hooks appear similar, possibly with the advantage to Kiltschko.
Advantage - Haye
This might be the most controversial (and critical) factor of all. Both fighters are reckoned to be chinny. All of their combined four losses are by KO. Much has been written about Wladimirs ability to take a shot, and I dont want to add needlessly to it To his credit he always gets up, which says a lot about his character. Against Sam Peter he was knocked down three times but came back to win, nearly stopping the Nigerian Nightmare in the process.
Haye has also tasted the canvass a few times in his career Against cruiserweights. He has not yet been knocked down by a heavyweight & many detractors have opined that he wont be able to take a flush heavyweight shot from a good puncher.
In his single loss, Haye punched himself out against wily old fox Carl Thompson (himself a very good & underrated puncher catch his come-from-behind win against Sebastiaan Rothmann for one of the finest single KI shots you will ever see). Haye was not knocked down or out in this loss and was stopped by his own corner. In addition he was down against Mormeck & Lolenga Mock. Both times in those instances he appeared unhurt.
Klitschko has been down several times, but whats notable is that hes been stopped from as a result of exhaustion twice. The first time was his first loss against sturdy journeyman Ross Purritty & then in dramatic fashion against Lamon Brewster. Wladimir was clearly winning both fights at the time.
This happening once can be seen as a fluke but twice has to be reckoned as a flaw. Haye acknowledged that his loss to Thompson was a lesson he needed to learn & he appears to be a better fighter now for it.
Despite the question marks surrounding Hayes ability to take shots from the really big boys, I think to not give him the advantage here based on the facts is ignoring the facts, which suggest to me that Wladimirs chin is more consistently suspect.
Advantage - Haye
It is in this department that Klitschko has received much criticism, especially over the last 5 years or so.
It frustrates boxing fans to see Klitschko fight so negatively (for possibly the best or worst example of this depending on the way you look at this, check out his fight against Sultan Ibragimov) when they know hes capable of such graceful devastation.
That said, there is an argument that he does whats taken to win & employs the best tactics to do this. With Emmanuel Steward in his corner, you can be sure that Wladimir will come to the fight with a considered strategy.
Haye has been considered to be a breath of fresh air in the boxing world. This is because of his willingness to take on challenges & fight the best he can. This same drive could have damaged his reputation when he came unstuck taking on a proven quality fighter in Carl Thompson in only his eleventh fight, but Haye dusted himself down, praised Thompson for doing a good job, admitted his shortcomings & vowed that hed be the better man for it. This can-do positive attitude won back favour with the boxing fraternity.
Hayes trainer, Adam Booth works well with his man. David has clearly laid his cards on the table by pressing for this fight & is staking his reputation on it. He clearly believes his natural advantages speed, power & aggressiveness will see him through. Whilst that seems to me like a salient argument, will they be enough?
Advantage - Kliltschko
Attitude & confidence
If theres any area other than speed in which Klitschko has a clear advantage, this has to be it. Haye confidence does more than border on arrogance it goes well into it. That same self-belief has to be one of his key benefits going into this fight. The Londoner genuinely seems to thrive on the big occasions.
Kiltschko is almost the opposite. Its taken some years for self-confidence to rebuild since his devastating losses to Corrie Sanders & Lamon Brewster. Beating Brewster by rematch should have helped with this, but Wladimir simply hasnt really shown the same fluency & style we all know he can display for some years now. In addition, hes taken on some fairly average fighters of late Ray Austin, Tony Thompson & most recently a shell of Hasim Rahman. I appreciate that this as more the fault of the IBF & WBO than the big man himself.
Advantage - Haye
In conclusion, I think this is going to be a very interesting fight & a very close one to call. I for one am certainly looking forward to it.
My heart says Haye, but my head leans towards Klitschko. Im going to go with my heart on this one & say that in a give & take battle Haye comes through & gets the stoppage.
As always, I welcome your comments.

Pavek Museum History
The Pavek Museum of Broadcasting is one of the best-kept secrets in the Twin Cities. We have over 12,000 square feet of antique radios, televisions, and broadcast equipment. The bulk of our inventory is the original Joe Pavek Collection, but we've added a lot more over the years since we opened in 1988. In fact, thanks to donations from area radio and television stations, the Museum's collection is one of the largest and finest of its kind in the world. For example, our Minnesota Collection represents more than thirty radio and television manufacturers that did business here in the 1920s. We also have many examples of historic broadcast equipment on display - cameras, consoles, microphones, and more.
One of the unique features of this Museum is the John T. "Jack" Mullin Collection, documenting the history of recording technology. It was Jack Mullin who, while serving in the Signal Corps in Europe at the end of World War II, brought back two AEG Magnetophon tape recorders from a German radio station. Tape recording was an unknown technology in the U. S., and Mullin was immediately hired by Bing Crosby to record his popular radio program, the first use of tape recording in American Broadcasting. The improved sound quality made the show a huge hit. The Pavek acquired his world famous collection in 1990.
Of course, hardware is only part of the story of broadcasting. It's the personalities who make this equipment come alive. Preserving their history is an important part of our mission. Featured in our growing archives are the Pioneer Broadcaster Series, videotape interviews in which people like Dave Moore, Joyce Lamont, Stanley Hubbard, and many other key figures from the local broadcast industry tell their stories and talk about the changes they've seen in radio and television.
In 2001, as part of our continuing effort to preserve and promote the best of Minnesota's broadcast industry, we initiated the Museum of Broadcasting Hall of Fame. On October 13th, 2001, the inaugural banquet and induction ceremonies took place at the Radisson South Hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota. Twenty-six previous recipients of the Minnesota Broadcasters Association's annual Pioneer Broadcaster Award joined twelve new inductees chosen from the fields of ownership, management, talent, and engineering. The outstanding talent of Minnesota's broadcast community now has an institution to preserve its place in history.
The Museum is the place to get DVDs of the Twin Cities most popular children's shows, including Axel & His Dog, starring Don Stolz and Clellan Card, Lunch With Casey, and others.
In addition, we have a vast library of technical and service information on electronics and electronic communication that is a wonderful resource for students, hobbyists and historians.
It was Joe Pavek who provided the foundation for our programming. His collection was started some time in 1946 while Joe was an electronics instructor for Dunwoody Institute. He became concerned about some of the beautiful radios being torn-apart by the students as they learned their trade, and decided to take one home, just to save it from destruction. From that point on, he never stopped collecting.
Joe was a devoted amateur radio operator and his ham radio call sign, WØOEP ("Old Empty Pockets") lives on at the Museum's club station.
Joe eventually went on to start his own business, Twin City Nut and Bolt Company on Harmon Place in Minneapolis. As his business grew, his territory expanded, and he began to call on customers in North & South Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. As he traveled through these towns, he soon discovered that if he got a haircut, he could find out virtually everything about everyone in town, including who had old radios. That's when the collection really started to grow.
Joe stored his collection at his businesses, on Harmon Place and later on Nicollet Avenue, in Minneapolis. Some time in the seventies he began to look for an angel, someone to take over the collection, house it, staff it, and keep it open to the public. By 1984, he had given up and the whole collection was set to be sold at auction. That's when Earl Bakken stepped in.
Earl is the co-founder of Medtronic and the inventor of the wearable pacemaker. Earl put himself through college fixing radios and televisions. He shared Joe's passion for old radios and saw the potential for exciting educational opportunities that the collection provided.
Earl Bakken, Joe Pavek, and Paul Hedberg of the Minnesota Broadcasters Association got together and formed the non-profit organization that was to become the umbrella for the Museum.
Less than a year later, in June of 1989, after realizing the fulfillment of his life's dream, Joe Pavek passed away at 81 years of age. It was then that Earl Bakken set the course for the Museum; one that we still follow today. He told us to use the collections to create educational opportunities for children.
We started our most popular program, the Broadcast Workshop, in the fall of 1991, bringing in elementary age school children from all over Minnesota to learn about the history of electronic communication while creating their own 1960s style radio broadcast. The learning is then reinforced with an exciting and competitive quiz show. The students and the schools love it. It's a dynamic experience supported by a unique environment. It's one of the few places in the world where students can work and play while surrounded by seminal examples of the history of electronic communication. We're booked to capacity every year.
Since 1991 our staff has performed more than four thousand workshops for more than eighty thousand school children, usually in groups of about twenty to thirty at a time. Most are school field trips, but the program is also a favorite with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Building on the success of the Broadcast Workshops, we've added four more educational programs:
Our newest program, The Wonderful World of Electromagnetism, introduces youngsters in grades four through six to the force that powers our modern world, from electronic communication to electric power generation.
Students learn the basic concepts of the relationship between electricity and magnetism with a variety of hands-on activities that are both educational and entertaining.
We also offer a popular adult course, Vintage Radio Service, designed for the collector and hobbyist, the person who, just like Joe Pavek back in 1946, couldn't bear to see that old radio thrown away and wants to take it home and fix it up instead.
NOW YOU'RE TALKING! The Technician Class License course runs ten consecutive Tuesday nights starting every January right here at the Museum. It's sponsored by the Minnesota Youth Amateur Radio Council, The Boy Scouts, and the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting. This is a great way to get into Ham Radio. Cost is $10 per student for the class and $14 for the test. You will also need to purchase and read a copy of The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual before our first session. It's available at Radio City or Barnes and Noble. For more information, email email@example.com
Education and preservation work together on a continuing basis here at the Museum.
We have wonderful collections, with many unusual items that can't be seen anywhere else. We continue to strive to find new ways to expand our educational programs and fulfill the goals set forth by our founders. We hope you'll become a sponsor.

Vulnerable Senators Offer a Phony Vote For Your Real One
Researching your Senator's voting record seems like a logical way to help determine if they deserve your vote. After all, it's straight forward, and on record, so it's got to be legit. Right?
Unfortunately that's not always the case, because the political establishment knows how to work the system, and have found ways around that too.
Last month, something prompted five Democrat Senators, to make an uncharacteristic move and align themselves with an all Republican vote regarding immigration. The legislation, crafted by Jeff Sessions and Ted Cruz, would have essentially put a stop to any future Obama amnesties for illegal immigrants.Read more

Communists Do the Darndest Things
Earlier this week, communists and socialists alike thought it would be fun to display their ignorance in a march for "Climate Change." The march took place in New York City where the United Nations and President Obama's "Let's bash The United States Festival" is taking place. Now, most of us are used to communists hating America and capitalism and all the pollution that it brings, but what is there to say when these so called environmentalists leave a mess of trash behind them? Not only that but Vice President Al Gore, (you know that guy who sold his TV network to oil funded Al Jazeera for $100,000,000) and his entourage of Chevy SUV's decided to show up and express their disdain for fossil fuels that made him crazy rich.
Then there was Leo "I love my big yachts and private jets" DiCaprio marching alongside the apathetic know-nothings or simply put, the communist community, looking so sad holding his sign that some tree surly died for because weather - oh, excuse me, "Climate Change" - and the capitalism that surrounds it is destroying everything. It was hypocrisy at its finest but, you know, Koch Brothers. Or something.Read more
Hypocrisy & Taxes from Arkansas' Denizen Democrat
The latest Rasmussen poll has only 6% of likely voters giving Congress a nod for a good or excellent performance.
To put it another way, an overwhelming 65% give them a poor rating.
You'd think at least some Congressional members would hang their heads in shame, maybe change their ways, or perhaps concede they might be more productive in another profession. But no...even with these abysmal ongoing ratings, Congressional incumbents fight to hold their unpopular seats as if their very lives depend upon it.
Which can only mean one thing...the perks must be fantastic, as is witnessed when they are allowed to exempt themselves from the heavy-handed treatment from laws they subject the rest of us to.Read more

Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas
Summer 2008 Site Review
I completed my summer internship as the Volunteer Services Lead Office Intern at Dell Children's Medical Center. I work eighteen hours per week and my position is unpaid. My supervisor is the Volunteer Coordinator, who is in charge of recruiting, training, and scheduling all of the volunteers in the hospital.
In one aspect of this internship, I basically act as an assistant. I do a lot of general clerical work, such as answering phones, taking messages, sending and answering emails, running errands, filing papers, and maintaining general office organization. In addition, I assist with scheduling new volunteers and logging hours.
In another aspect however, I work very independently. I process new applications, conduct interviews, and conduct orientation sessions for the new volunteers almost entirely by myself. I have completely re-done the existing orientation packets, and have created a new system for processing new applicants.
This combination of clerical duties and independent projects provides me with an overall great experience. It gives me a chance to see how one part of healthcare administration works, a chance to meet and network with professionals in my field, and a chance to improve my office and professional skills.
A typical day at my internship begins at 8am. I spend the morning doing routine activities such as responding to voicemail and email messages, processing applications, conducting interviews, etc. I usually spend the afternoon running errands or working on more pressing activities such as conducting orientation or getting ready for a board meeting. I usually leave the office by 5pm.
This is a great internship; I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in healthcare administration or community health.
