AMAZING Jazz.
Stop at the historic Preservation Hall for some jazz. The venue itself is a sight to see. Over 250 years old, it has evolved from a private home into a tavern and now a music hall and gallery. It's age definitely shows, but in the most charming way. For $12, you can hear the sound of New Orleans' soul.
Great place for jazz. But get tickets beforehand, and get there early.
It does seem kind of touristy but really, it might have been my favorite thing in New Orleans. I'd say it's a must do in a heartbeat!

THEATER; A Charmer Returns to the Scene of the Seduction
Published: September 27, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
In 1988, the year after he inherited the Ridiculous Theatrical Company, Everett Quinton directed ''Irma Vep'' in Rochester. He is also directing the current production in New York. According to its chief conceit, the play's multiple roles are split between two actors, and Mr. Quinton is enthusiastic about his new co-star, Stephen DeRosa. (Mr. DeRosa made an indelible impression on theatergoers both here and in London last spring with his work in the Acting Company's ''Love's Fire.'')
But for Mr. Quinton, the real novelty of the new production is his taking over Ludlam's roles. During the rehearsal period, he reveled in working on the play from a different perspective. He also marveled at the innovations Mr. DeRosa was coming up with for his old roles.
''It's like being in this horse race with Stephen, and it's keeping me on my toes,'' said Mr. Quinton.
But no matter who plays which parts, ''Irma Vep'' is characteristic of Ludlam the playwright in several respects. It demonstrates his penchant for plundering classic and modern sources that had been neglected or abandoned by mainstream culture. It is also a prime example of his predilection for turning what's trashy or trite or taboo into something worthy of reverence. As Ludlam described the play in a press release for the original production: '' 'The Mystery of Irma Vep' is a two-man show starring Charles Ludlam and Everett Quinton in multiple roles. The play is cast in the mold of the penny dreadful (a 19th-century form of popular fiction, forerunner of the modern pulp) and draws on the Grand Guignol and other forms of low theater, using stage illusions and quick changes to create a comic, Gothic evening including vampires, werewolves and an Egyptian mummy.''
From these various components, Ludlam concocted a story about Lady Enid Hillcrest, the new bride of Lord Edgar Hillcrest, who is still in love with his deceased wife, Irma Vep. The two other main characters are Nicodemus Underwood, a crippled butler who is transformed into a werewolf, and Jane Twisden, a disgruntled housekeeper who is hiding secrets. As with most of his plays, Ludlam was still working on the script days before the first previews were to begin. But the mathematical precision of Irma Vep's stage business proved far too complicated to be negotiated in so little time. When Mr. Quinton discovered himself locked in a mummy case at 3 A.M. the night before the first scheduled performance, previews had to be postponed for a week.
After the play opened to unanimous raves in the fall, talk of transferring it to Broadway was accompanied by requests for regional productions. Given his lifelong difficulty with authority figures, as well as his legitimate problems with a number of producers earlier in his career, Ludlam at first resisted all such offers. His lawyer, Walter Gidaly, recalls having to resort to some unusual measures to persuade his client to relent and authorize other productions of ''Irma Vep.'' He came up with a clause for the licensing agreement that may very well be unique in the history of theatrical contracts. To guarantee that the play would entail cross-dressing, it stipulated that both actors had to be of the same gender.
As a number of Ludlam's other works are now being produced with increasing frequency, posterity is apt to discover that ''Le Bourgeois Avant-Garde,'' ''Reverse Psychology,'' ''Stage Blood'' and ''Caprice'' are superior comedies with more serious underpinnings. But ''Irma Vep'' will just as likely remain his greatest crowd-pleaser.

Claude Lanzmann on the 25th Anniversary of "Shoah"
Friday, December 10, 2010
Claude Lanzmann, director of "Shoah," discusses the film's 25th anniversary. The nine-and-a-half hour landmark documentary, considered one of the greatest films ever made on the Holocaust, and it features interviews with survivors, bystanders, and perpetrators in 14 countries, and also visits places where the crimes took place. It opens in New York December 10th at Lincoln Plaza Cinemas and on December 24th at IFC Center.
Guests:Claude Lanzmann
Comments [5]
mr. lopate you mention that there was never another holocaust . pol pot in cambodia was said to make the nazis work seem civilized.
What is quite surprising that the Poles and others were and are, willing to believed German and Catholic propagandas that "the Jews are evil and have stolen their money" . . . there are many stories from Poland telling how deep deep rooted, and may I say brain washed as children to believe it to be (erroneously) true. Worst are the frightful stories of the returning survivors of Auschwitz and other extermination camps being gun down and murdered in Poland so that the squatters could keep their spoils of war/hate. .to the great shame of the good and honest Poles . . . .so what are we the by standers to make of this ?. . .there seems to be an note of 'see we did help you ' about the letters sad when you think of the moral and final outcome. . . .And you wonder with tongue in your cheek that atheism, loss of faith is growing faster than predicted.
Lanzmann's SHOAH claims falsely that Polish authorities "refused" support to the Warsaw ghetto uprising. But here is the report by head of the Polish underground, Stefan Korbonski:
"The Home Army delivered to the Jewish Fighting Organization 1 light machine gun, 2 submachine guns, 50 handguns (all with magazines and ammunition), 10 rifles, 600 hand grenades with detonators, 30 kilograms of explosives (plastic, received from the air drops), 120 kilograms of explosives of own production, 400 detonators for bombs and grenades, 30 kilograms of potassium to make the incendiary 'Molotov cocktails' and, finally, great quantities of saltpeter needed to manufacture gun powder. The Jewish Fighting Organization also received instructions on how to manufacture bombs, hand grenades and incendiary bottles, how to build strongholds, and where to get rails and cement for their construction." (Korbonski, The Polish Underground State, Hippocrene 1981.) Reviewers are cautioned. Lanzmann must correct this.
The film Life Is Beautiful, contrary to Mr. Lanzmann's statement about it, does not convey the message that life is beautiful at all but that the human spirit, in the face of incredible and overwhelming evil, is beautiful in its will to love, hope, and protect in the midst of darkness.
Please ask Mr. Lanzmann to address his oft-spoken and bizarrely egocentric assertion that the Holocaust is too horrible a subject to address in film and elsewhere, except when it is he who is doing the addressing.

Queenstown architect Ed Elliott has turned a French drawing
tour into an exhibition.
The exhibition is being held at the St Peter's Anglican
Church hall, in Queenstown, until Sunday.
It features more than 30 of his works drawn, penned and
painted during a holiday to France last year with friend and
former Queenstown Lakes councillor Lou Alfeld.
''It's not a monetary thing,'' Mr Elliott told the Otago
Daily Times.
''They're not for sale - it's just to see if there's
''It's also there to try and encourage architects looking at
great works. The only way to learn or know about them is [to]
draw them.''
All the works were completed on the day they were started.
Some took an hour, the longest took nine hours.
Mr Elliott said he was forced to seek shelter from rain, on
occasion, which sometimes meant taking a pew in the cathedral
he was drawing. Other times it involved finding a seat near a
window at a cafe, he said.
''I might have had a beer or a French wine.''
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

The Mighty Blue Wall Walkers
These are my first climbing shoes. They are made with simple but quality construction and I dont see them falling apart anytime soon. I normally wear a size 10 average width in all my shoes from mountaineering to runners and a size 10 in these are tight fitting at the toes but they fit well. The Royales being my first climbers, I was told they fit perfect because they are not supposed to be comfortable. I have used them on an indoor climbing wall and on a 5.6 climb at Red Rock and I was happy how well they worked for me. I am a beginner so I didnt want to spend a lot on shoes so these were it. These are inexpensive but not by any means cheap.
And NO they won't turn your feet blue.

The Human Cost of FDA Decisions: A Faulty Hip Replacement Disrupts a Young Man's Life
April 25th, 2012
After sharing the personal experiences of two separate UCS supporters—Gwen and her mother, Maxine and Elsa and her husband, Dan–with drug and device safety, I've heard from others who are also brave enough to share their stories with us. Henry H.'s tale about his metal on metal hip replacement is particularly touching, showing how a faulty medical device can have consequences not just for the victim but for his entire family.

How Conflicted Experts Can Sway FDA Drug Approval Decisions: A Case Study on Yaz
April 13th, 2012
Experts on FDA advisory panels with financial conflicts of interest can influence the approval of a drug in multiple ways, not only by voting to approve a drug but also by dominating the discussion and pressuring other panelists. In the case of the popular contraceptive drug Yaz, four scientists with financial conflicts of interest were enough to push the vote in favor of the drug, with significant consequences for some women.

New Allegations of Political and Corporate Pressure on FDA
April 3rd, 2012
In today's New York Times, Gardiner Harris describes tensions between the FDA, Congress and the White House regarding the agency's attempts to inform and protect the public. It's an incredible article that helps demonstrate the pervasiveness of both political and corporate pressure on the agency, and how those who do not have scientific training in public health attempt to take decision-making authority on what should be scientific issues away from those who do.

So, you're thinking about getting an axolotl? Great! Axolotls make for fantastic pets, and they're relatively easy to take care of too!
There are however, a couple of things that you will need to know before taking one of these fascinating creatures home with you, and that's where we come in.
Maybe it's the axolotl's constantly gleeful looking face that has intrigued you to find out more about them, or perhaps it's the fact that they can do things that other creatures just can't – like how they can regrow limbs like it's the most normal thing in the world, or how they never fully undergo metamorphosis like all of their amphibian counterparts do. Whatever the reason for your fascination, you're in the right place!
Here at Axolotl Care, we offer a complete, easy to follow guide on everything you will ever need to know about looking after these enigmatic ambystomatidae. We will teach you about; their diet, their habitat, their lifespan, their breeding, their history, and their oddities – as well as much, much more.
There is a close-knit team of five of us working here at Axolotl Care. Together, we have a combined experience of over 100 years working with these creatures, and we like to think we've picked up a thing or two about looking after them. You can rest assured that we know exactly what we're talking about and would never post false information, that could harm any creature in any way. The safety and wellbeing of the animals is always our number one priority.
Every aspect of this Website has been carefully considered to make it as easy as possible to get the best, most accurate knowledge available. It has been made by axolotl experts, for aspiring axolotl owners and enthusiasts, and we really hope it can help you out. So get clicking on those tabs and be prepared to start loving these guys as much as we do!

Chip Conley, founder of Joie de Vivre Hotels
"Try this: Early in the New Year, get your top few people together for 30 minutes. Pair them up. The first person asks the question, 'What business are we in?' The second person responds and then asks the same question, but the first person can't answer the same way.
"Do this five times and I promise you that you'll discover the core essence of your business. Then build your 2013 business plan around this differentiating essence.

BMC Public Health 2010, 10:177 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-10-177Published: 31 March 2010
HIV testing among tuberculosis patients is critical in improving morbidity and mortality as those found to be HIV positive will be offered a continuum of care including ART if indicated. We conducted a cross-sectional study in three Kampala City primary care clinics: to assess the level of HIV test uptake among newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients; to assess patient and health worker factors associated with HIV test uptake; and to determine factors associated with HIV test uptake at the primary care clinics
Adult patients who had been diagnosed with smear-positive PTB at a primary care clinic or at the referral hospital and who were being treated at any of the three clinics were interviewed. Associations between having taken the test as the main outcome and explanatory variables were assessed by multivariate logistic regression.
Between April and October 2007, 112 adults were included in the study. An HIV test had been offered to 74 (66%). Of the 112 patients, 61 (82%) had accepted the test; 45 (74%) had eventually been tested; and 32 (29%) had received their test results.
Patients who were <25 yeas old, female or unemployed, or had reported no previous HIV testing, were more likely to have been tested. The strongest predictor of having been tested was if patients had been diagnosed at the referral hospital compared to the city clinic (adjusted OR 24.2; 95% CI 6.7-87.7; p < 0.001). This primarily reflected an "opt-out" (uptake 94%) versus an "opt-in" (uptake 53%) testing policy.
The overall HIV test uptake was surprisingly low at 40%. The HIV test uptake was significantly higher among TB patients who were identified at hospital, among females and in the unemployed.

Bailout for Madoff Victims?
Categories: Featured, The Money Trail
The bogus speculations of Bernard L. Madoff have ripped off tens of billions from the high and the low and has even impacted the stock market. Naturally someone is calling for a bailout. At least that's what it sounds like a hedge fund group called the Alternative Investment Management Association is suggesting; Reuters says the Association "called on Monday for restitution for investors" who were burned by Madoff. Their follow-up sounds like bailout talk, too: "Clearly, lessons must be learned, restitution must be secured for investors, and processes/safeguards must be improved to prevent such a situation recurring." Hold on to your wallets, folks -- this one-man scam may be too big to fail!

Today I am on my way down to Nice, France. The Cote d'Azur. This will be my third time to the south of France and I can't wait. We are visiting friends who live there one last time before we leave for the States which is at the end of May. I thought it would be only appropriate to share some beach wear! I'm actually not sure how much time we will get to actually spend by the water, but I am hoping it's at least a little!
Beach Wear
Cover up // bathing suit // sunglasses // hat // tote // sandals
I shared on Facebook the other day that this was the exact bathing suit that I just bought. I wore it today to the beach for the first time and I love it. It covers everything that needs to be covered, no boobies or booty hanging out and it's comfortable. I was searching for bottoms that were more like boy shorts and these are perfect.
Someone asked me why I don't try a tankini or a one piece. Well, let me tell you, I am all about modest bathing suits. The thing is, I am 6 feet tall. One piece bathing suits looks so funny on me. Like a leotard from the 80's or something where they come all the way above your hip bones. Yep, it's not a good look.
So why not tankinis? Well, this presents another problem. They are usually too short to reach all the way to the bottoms and the bottoms come up just below all my glorious stretch marks. It's like a bathing suit made to highlight the fact that I birthed two kids. "Heeeeeellloooo stretch marks!" Also not a good look.
So I have settled on bikinis. I just try to get them as modest as I can. My stomach isn't too horrible, I'm comfortable with my weight and size, so I just go for it.
Here are some super cute bathings suits for you to check out for this summer! I tried to chose some that are modest and not just for 21-year-olds. If I could rock a one-piece, I'd get number 4 for sure! Which is your favorite?
one // two // three // four // five // six
So what kind of bating suit will you be rocking this swimsuit season?

Researchers Publish Results Of Revlimid-Velcade-Dexamethasone Trial In Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
Published: Apr 2, 2014 6:29 pm
Findings from a prospective Phase 2 clinical trial indicate that the combination of Revlimid, Velcade, and dexamethasone is effective in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma patients.
The trial enrolled 64 patients, who had been treated with a median of two prior therapies, at six different U.S. cancer centers from 2006 to 2008.
Nearly two-thirds of the patients in the trial achieved at least a partial response, despite the fact that more than half of the patients had previously been treated with Velcade (bortezomib), and nearly three quarters had previously been treated with thalidomide (Thalomid), a drug chemically similar to Revlimid.
The median progression-free survival was 10 months after the start of treatment. The median overall survival was 30 months from the start of treatment, and, at a median follow-up time of almost four years, 34 percent of patients were still alive.
The investigators note that the efficacy of the Revlimid (lenalidomide)-Velcade-dexamethasone (Decadron) combination appears to be lower than that of the three-drug combination of Kyprolis (carfilzomib), a newly approved drug in the same class of drugs as Velcade, combined with Revlimid and dexamethasone.
In a trial of the Kyprolis-Revlimid-dexamethasone combination involving patients similar to those in the current study, 77 percent of patients responded to treatment, and the median progression-free survival was 15 months (see related Beacon news).
However, the investigators point out that, in the current trial, the doses for Velcade and Revlimid were lower than the standard doses for both drugs, and that higher activity might be achieved if the Velcade and Revlimid in the combination therapy were used at standard doses.
Patients in the trial were treated for a median of eight months, suggesting that the combination therapy was well tolerated. According to the researchers, the majority of side effects were mild to moderate in nature, and only 3 percent of patients experienced severe peripheral neuropathy (pain, tingling, or numbness in the extremities). The investigators note that Velcade was administered intravenously during the trial, and the use of subcutaneous (under-the-skin) Velcade might further lower the rate of peripheral neuropathy associated with the regimen.
One issue that could bear on the clinical relevance of the current study's results is that many patients in the U.S. already are treated with a combination of Revlimid, Velcade, and dexamethasone as frontline therapy -- a fact which could impact the combination's attractiveness as a treatment for relapsed/refractory patients.
In this regard, the researchers note that the results of their study support the use of the three-drug combination even in patients previously exposed to one or more of the drugs included in the combination.
Based on their findings, the investigators believe there is further potential for the development of the Revlimid, Velcade, and dexamethasone combination.
Although multiple myeloma remains a typically incurable disease, significant advances have been made in its treatment since the introduction of the novel agents thalidomide, Revlimid, and Velcade, and more recently Kyprolis and Pomalyst (pomalidomide, Imnovid).
Previous research has shown that three-drug combinations involving the novel agents are generally more effective than two-drug combinations.
In addition, the three-drug combination of Revlimid, Velcade, and dexamethasone – commonly referred to as RVD or VRD – has been shown to be particularly effective in controlling myeloma.
For instance, a Phase 1/2 study of RVD as initial therapy for newly diagnosed myeloma patients found that all patients responded to the treatment (see related Beacon news).
In addition, results from a retrospective study showed that a majority of patients with advanced myeloma respond to RVD therapy (see related Beacon news).
Researchers therefore designed a prospective Phase 2 trial to assess the safety and efficacy of RVD in relapsed and refractory myeloma patients
Study Design
The Phase 2 trial included 64 relapsed and refractory myeloma patients who were recruited at six treatment centers across the United States between September 2006 and April 2008.
The median patient age was 65 years old.
The median time from diagnosis was 35 months. Patients had received a median of two prior therapies. Many of the patients had previously received thalidomide (75 percent), Velcade (53 percent), or Revlimid (6 percent); 8 percent of patients were resistant (refractory) to prior Velcade, and 3 percent were refractory to prior Revlimid.
In addition, a number of the patients had chromosomal abnormalities as determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), including del(13/13q) (36 percent), del(17p) (13 percent), and t(4;14) (6 percent).
Patients received up to eight 21-day treatment cycles of 15 mg of Revlimid per day on days 1 to 14 of a 21-day treatment cycle, along with 1.0 mg/m2 of Velcade on days 1, 4, 8 and 11.
Initially, the dexamethasone dosing was 40 mg (first four cycles) or 20 mg (cycles 5-8) on the days of, and after, Velcade dosing. As the trial progressed, however, this dosing was reduced to 20 mg (first four cycles) and 10 mg (cycles 5-8).
Patients who achieved stable disease or better after eight treatment cycles could continue with maintenance therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Maintenance therapy consisted of Velcade and Revlimid at doses tolerated at the end of cycle 8, plus 10 mg of dexamethasone on days 1, 2, 8, and 9. Revlimid was administered on days 1 to 14 and Velcade on days 1 and 8.
The median follow-time was 44 months.
Study Results
The researchers reported that 66 percent of patients completed at least eight cycles of therapy with all three drugs, and 55 percent of patients continued into the maintenance phase of the trial.
Overall, 64 percent responded to treatment, with 11 percent achieving a complete response, 14 percent a near complete response, 3 percent a very good response, and 36 percent a partial response.
The researchers found there were no significant differences in overall response rates based on whether the patients were relapsed (62 percent), relapsed and refractory (67 percent), or had chromosomal abnormalities (66 percent). Prior Velcade exposure also did not seem to affect response.
The median time to best response was 2.3 months; the median duration of response was nine months; and patients received a median of 11 cycles of treatment.
The median progression-free survival was 10 months, and the median overall survival was 30 months, from the start of treatment with the combination regimen.
Given that participants in the trial had a median time since diagnosis of 35 months, these results indicate that participants had a median overall survival -- from time of diagnosis -- of 5.4 years (65 months). In interpreting this outcome, however, it is important to bear in mind that enrollment in the study took place about seven years ago.
The only patient characteristic that was found to have an independent impact on response to treatment was having a low hemoglobin level (less than 12 g/dL) at the beginning of treatment.
Other variables, including having elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and the presence of chromosomal abnormality del(13/13q) at the start of treatment, appeared at first glance to be associated with a lower likelihood of response.
But further analysis, taking into account the variety of factors that can affect response, found that these variables did not have an independent impact on response.
A low hemoglobin level also was the only patient characteristic to have a statistically independent impact on overall survival.
According to the investigators, RVD had an acceptable safety profile in this patient population, especially given that many of the patients had more than one prior line of therapy.
The most common side effects of any grade included sensory neuropathy (53 percent), fatigue (53 percent), low white blood cell counts (42 percent), and diarrhea (41 percent).
Overall, 66 percent of patients required dose modifications, and 8 percent of the patients discontinued RVD due to side effects.

Clay Death is not one of those people. He's not gonna lay down low for a while and then come back with a different account to pollute the forum.
He's trying to clear his name here and be given a chance to adapt and co-exist on the forum. Because he knows he didn't deserve what he got.
But, really, the mods should bring some common sense into this and give him a hand. And when I say this, I don't mean just this case, but every other one as well, though this one is a very good example.
Are bans determined on which conflicted group has more clicks on the report button ? What is the purpose of mods then? Where is the human insight in all of it? What happened to hearing both sides' arguments?

Haven't we progressed beyond the idea that it is in loving relationships with other people that we find fulfillment and meaning? Climbing the corporate ladder is essential in the pursuit of happiness.

Protesters Eyeballing 'I Heart Puppies' Store in Corona del Mar
Publication/Event date: 2011-07-21
Publication name: Corona del Mar Patch
URL for more info: http://coronadelmar.patch.com/articles/protesters-eyeballing-i-heart-puppies-store-in-corona-del-mar
I Heart Puppies in Corona del Mar is expected to reopen today after being closed by the city for two days to comply with safety regulations. However, the animal-rights group that has been investigating the store is requesting that all its animals be put up for adoption citing findings from a USDA inspection report.
The Companion Animal Protection Society—a national nonprofit, investigative group—began its investigation into I Heart Puppies on July 5 after receiving complaints from residents. The group says its investigation shows that the store gets some of its dogs from Cricks Kennels in Nebraska, according to Carole Davis, the organization's West Coast director. I Heart Puppies refutes that claim and says it gets its dogs only from Critters and Pets in San Diego. In a letter issued to I Heart Puppies and Patch.com last week, CAPS asked the store owners to review evidence gathered from a USDA probe regarding one of the store's breeders and requested the store put its dogs up for adoption with a nonprofit rescue organization by Friday or risk being the subject of a protest.

Anti-Puppy Mill Rally, "I Heart Puppies" Corona Del Mar
Time: Sunday, August 7 · 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Location: 2801 East Coast Hwy, Corona Del Mar, CA
More Info:
"I Heart Puppies" sells dogs from inhumane commercial breeding factories in the midwest. CAPS has evidence that the breeders that supply "I Heart Puppies" are mistreating dogs by confining them in wire cages, exposed to the elements, covered in feces, with injuries, no bedding, no shelter from rain, wind or snow.
I Heart Puppies' owner, Brooke Bradford, has filed a restraining order against CAPS' West Coast director, Carole Davis. Ms. Bradford cannot silence the cries of 1/2 million dying dogs & cats in California shelters. So instead of rectifying the problem, she has turned against all of us.
We will not be silenced. Join us in front of her store to speak up for pet factory animals and the 1/2 million shelter animals killed every year in CA.

New Engine Raises Possibility of Cheap Travel To the Moon 100
from the how-many-altarian-dollars-though dept.
Seriously, I can travel to the Moon with no fuel if I start in the right position with the right momentum. TFA doesn't tell us much unless the secrets are hidden in the video I'm blocking on the bottom of the page.
Sorry to self-reply, but:
Can we stop having summaries posted where the only link goes to the Daily Mail? Every human should be disgusted that our species can produce something as wretched and pathetic as that hive of stubborn ignorance.
Wow. Just... wow. At first I thought the reason this was over-hyped was because it was in the Daily Fail. But no. You actually have it on your own press release.
You, sir, are a charlatan. Perhaps you can get to the moon on a few "drops" (nice non-defined quantity there) of fuel, but you have to start in Earth orbit - ie in terms of energy 99% OF THE WAY THERE.
If you had any decency at all, you would at least insist that your own headlines be something along the lines of "From Earth's Orbit to the Moon on 500g of fuel" or some such, and make clear in the first sentence that you're talking about 3Kg satellites, not entire space shuttles, but instead you imply that I can fill up a half-liter of fuel in my ship here, bid farewell to Cape Canaveral, and be on the moon shortly.
This has really got to stop. Honest claims about genuine research are great, but this kind of overblown bullshit hurts all of science. When people find out that in fact you've just moved the goalposts so far that the goal you've achieved isn't anywhere near what you're advertising, they lose faith in all of us.
Once it hits the fan, the only rational choice is to sweep it up, package it, and sell it as fertilizer.

He undertakes gruelling tour of cyclone-hit areas
TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday batted for waiver of farm loans in the cyclone affected areas in the State.
"It (loan waiver) will be the first file which I will sign soon after swearing in as the Chief Minister, if I come to power in the next elections," the TDP chief promised while addressing impromptu public gatherings during his whistle-stop visits in the cyclone-ravaged areas in Narsapur, Palacol and Yalamanchili mandals in West Godavari district. The gloom-hit faces of the victims and the flattened paddy fields due to the swirling gales induced by the Cyclone Helen greeted Mr. Naidu all along his gruelling trip that meandered through the dusty and narrow roads in the countryside.
Blames State
In his hard-hitting speeches, tinged with the election-even politics, the TDP leader sought to portray Chief Minister N. Kirankumar Reddy as a 'lame duck' and the 'most in capable Chief Minister' he had ever seen.
He even sought to blame the government for allegedly lacking foresight in handling cyclones, resulting in the trail of devastation caused by one calamity after the other in the current year and its alleged miserable failure in completing the delta modernisation project.
Had the government ensured timely release of the water from the canals for the kharif in the Krishna and the Godavari delta systems, the agricultural crops and farmers would have been saved from the cyclones, Mr. Chandrababu said.
Even as October and November were prone to cyclones, the paddy harvest was getting delayed up to January due to release of the canal water much behind the schedule in the kharif, he added.
A number of farmers complained to Mr. Chandrababu Naidu about the reported uncertainty over the rabi prospects in the Godavari delta. Chilukuri Anjaneyulu, former leader of the Water Users Association (WUA) at Yalamanchili, interacting with Mr. Naidu, apprehended that the farmers in the delta were likely to forego rabi in view of crop holiday proposed by the administration to facilitate execution of the delta modernisation works.
"We are totally ruined in the kharif. If we lose rabi also, how will we survive," he questioned. The women folks raised a hue and cry over the devastating impact of mushrooming belt shops (unauthorised liquor outlets) on peace and economy of their families.

These were delicious and simple! We made them for dessert after an Indian meal and served them with mango ice cream.
A very simple yet elegant dessert. I cooked it as a small celebration on a family dinner, and everyone was guessing the spices. Make sure you have best quality spices.
This isn't difficult and is fabulous. Be sure to use a pan wide enough to hold 4 puffs without crowding. It can be made a few hours in advance and refrigerated on the parchment with parchment on top and a light plastic wrap drapped over. Don't skip the pistachios.

Drugged and Choked, Truth and Consequences
Today in the Dubai Murder Mystery
If you have not been following this exciting story, I wrote a catch-up today for the magazine: do check out. I'll also be updating it as news that fits it breaks.
As for what's happened since then …
The big news today was that we finally learned how exactly Hamas weapons procurer Mahmoud al-Mabhouh died: he was injected with a powerful muscle relaxant—one that is used in both death-penalty cocktails and hospitals—and then was suffocated.
The secondary news was that two of the 26 suspects (thought to be in or affiliated with the Mossad) entered the United States after the assassination took place.
Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim, who has previously said he is "99 percent" certain that Mossad was behind al-Mabhouh's death, called on Mossad chief Meir Dagan either to confirm or deny the Israeli intelligence agency's involvement. So, in its way, did Haaretz, in an editorial. A bit of friendly advice for Mr. Tamim and the Haaretz editorial board: don't hold your breaths.
Besides whether Mossad definitely did it, the other outstanding questions concern whether the incident will have adverse diplomatic consequences for Israel. The general consensus is that Israel can expect a slap on the wrist, but little more: al-Mabhouh, after all, was a bad guy, and anyway Mossad's usefulness to Western countries far outweighs whatever bad publicity this may have caused. Still, the following are facts: Israelis are no longer allowed in Dubai; Australia abstained on a U.N. resolution related to the Goldstone Report specifically due to concerns over the fake Australian passports in the killing; and British police are interviewing dual British-Israeli citizens whose (fake) passports were used, in Tel Aviv. None of which is probably the best press in the world.
On the other hand, there is the take of high-ranking Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, of the Labor Party: "The assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was not a failure. I don't know who did it but what's important is the end result."

90 shops sealed so far in Vellore for employing children
The passengers visiting the Old Bus Stand here on Tuesday were attracted to a cultural programme that was staged at the entrance to the northern passenger shelter of the bus stand.
Men and women volunteers were singing and dancing. It turned out to be an awareness programme on abolition of child labour organised by the Child Labour Abolition Support Scheme (CLASS). Posters carrying the slogan, `Kuzhandhaigal Adamanam, Petrorgalukku Avamanam' (pledging of children is a shame to the parents) and the warning that those who employ children below 14 years of age are liable to a fine of Rs.20,000 and imprisonment, could be seen displayed at the venue.
A little later, the Vellore Collector P. Sankar arrived there, witnessed the cultural programme and pasted child labour abolition awareness stickers on buses. There were different stickers on different buses, carrying different slogans such as `Velaikku Vidai Kodu, Pallikku Padai Edu' (bid good bye to labour and march towards the school), and `Puththagam Sumakka Vendiya Vayadhil Kudumba Baram Sumakkalama?' (can one shoulder the family burden in an age in which one should carry books?). P. Rajapandian, Project Director, CLASS, who welcomed the gathering, said that 90 shops have so far been sealed in Vellore district for employing child labour.

Heather Myles – "Pretty Poison"
If one's level of fame was proportional to one's talent and hard work, Heather Myles would be one of the biggest stars in country music. She's spent the past two decades playing dusty honky tonks and releasing excellent, Bakersfield-influenced albums that, for the most part, have flown under the radar. She's still persevering, though, and her newest single is classic Myles: catchy, country, well-written, and solidly performed.
"Pretty Poison," from 2010 album In the Wind, is allegedly inspired by the Jennifer Aniston-Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie triangle/tabloid fodder of a few years ago. In the song, Myles places herself in the Aniston role, mournfully describing the woman with "luscious lips and hair of fire" who has so enchanted her man. Thanks to those vivid descriptions of the other woman, the song is somewhat reminiscent of "Jolene," although Myles' vocals lack much of Parton's pleading and vulnerability. Instead, there's a weary resignation as she sings the chorus: "Pretty poison went walking by/Pretty poison tells the sweetest lies/Now there's nothing I can do/To break the spell she has on you."
Myles has always had the ability to write a fantastic hook, and "Pretty Poison" is no different from any of her earlier work in that regard. That, combined with her full-bodied voice and the song's deliciously twangy arrangement, makes the song an enjoyable, toe-tapping listen. Mainstream country radio has never taken to Myles (her lone single to chart topped out at #75 in 1999), or women over 45 not named Reba. But if they ever change their collective mind, thanks in part to the neo-neo-traditional movement spurred on in part by the recent successes of Chris Young and Easton Corbin and others, "Pretty Poison" would be a fine addition to the playlist.
8 Comments
…the first sentence of the review says it all – then again, here in the real world, it's just another good country song radio, most likely, can't be bothered with.
never mind, going for the whole album and not only for single-downloads is usually the way to go, when it comes to her music.
"…or women over 45 not named Reba." I swear Juli, you are cracking me up this week.
Let's see, song sounds country, has a good theme, not overpowered by production, sang with a unique voice, and not sung with teeny-boppers in mind, nah, doesn't thave a change on radio.
Reformed Waynoe
Not shabby at all …
Good stuff. While we are long overdue for another neo-traditional movement, I'm not holding my breath given the current state of mainstream radio. Thank goodness for satellite radio that plays Heather (and Robbie Fulks, Amber Digby, Dale Watson, Paul Burch, Sarah Borges et al) on a regular basis.
Heather has long been a mainstay in the rotation of my CD player. She never disappoints
She is great! the play her daily on 95.3 the range out of plano one of the few americana stations that has made it been on the air 15 years.
In the Wind isn't available in Canada via my two digital choices, iTunes and eMusic. Unfortunate. I like how Juli mentions Dolly's pleading in "Jolene". When I was younger, I really liked the song until I realized how damn desperate and ultimately wimpy the protagonist sounded. Heather Myles couldn't sound like that if she tried, although to Dolly's credit her song obviously struck a chord. I'd love to hear the full song Pretty Poison song or album; apparently it has been out since late 2009. Missed that one.
I've owned Heather's album "Sweet Talk & Good Lies" for what seems like forever. I just love the songs "Nashville's Gone Hollywood", "Little Chapel" (duet with Dwight Yoakam), and "Big Cars".
Once I called Eddie Stubbs while he was hosting a request show on WSM and requested "Nashville's Gone Hollywood" and he wasn't familiar with it! Crikey mate!
When the "Sweet Talk" album first came out LA's then Top 40 country FM station KZLA (93.9) had Heather in the studio a couple of times and spun songs off the album. Sadly the station never played the songs otherwise as they weren't on the Top 60 charts. Heather grew up here in Southern California in a well to do thoroughbred horse breeding family from what I've read but was obviously too big to be a jockey! (lol) Heather has now established a relationship with the "Heart of Texas" label folks and I'm glad she has since they appreciate what she does. Go Heather!
