Multi-platinum artist Jason Aldean rolls his 2013 Night Train Tour with special guests Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett into FedExForum on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets go on-sale to the general public on Friday, Aug. 2 at 10 a.m. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster locations, ticketmaster.com, the FedExForum Box Office or by phone at (800) 745-3000.
There will also be a presale beginning on Thursday, Aug. 1 from 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. for recipients of the FedExForum Event Alert e-mail communications, or by connection with FedExForum on Twitter (@FedExForum) or liking FedExForum on Facebook (facebook.com/fedexforum). A presale invitation will be delivered to these individuals on Wednesday prior to the presale. The deadline to sign up for a presale invitation is Tuesday, July 30 at Noon.
With more than eight million records sold and 11 number one hits under his belt, entertainer Jason Aldean recently released one of 2012's most buzzed about new albums, Night Train. Entertainment Weekly calls Aldean's delivery on the album "epic," and Billboard points to the singer pushing the limits to move his "sound forward sonically, vocally and lyrically." With a high-intensity live show, his tour is no different.
"As a musician, it's great to be able to shake up the set list and think of cool ways to present new songs in the live show," said Aldean. "I'm a big fan of both Jake (Owen) and Thomas Rhett, so it'll be awesome to have those guys out with us."
Jake Owen released his third studio album, Barefoot Blue Jean Night, back in 2011. The lead-off single and title track to the album along with his second single "Alone With You," both hit number one on the country charts. The album's next two singles, "The One That Got Away" and "Anywhere With You," both reached number one on the Country Airplay chart. Owen toured with Keith Urban in 2011. Last year he released an extended play titled, Endless Summer, featuring the collaboration with chart-topping group Florida Georgia Line titled "Summer Jam." The collaboration charted within the Top 40 of Hot Country Songs.
Thomas Rhett, son of country singer-songwriter Thomas Rhett Atkins Sr., first got his big break when a song he wrote landed on Aldean's My Kinda Party back in 2010. He signed a recording contract with Big Machine Records' Valory Music Group division in 2011. In early 2012, he released his debut single, "Something To Do With My Hands," followed late in the year by "Beer with Jesus." Both of these made Top 20 on the Country Airplay charts. Rhett also co-wrote the 2013 singles "1994" by Jason Aldean, "Parking Lot Party" by Lee Brice and "Round Here" by Florida Georgia Line.

A survival guide to the flu
Defensive measures can minimize risk of infection this season
This year's flu season is like a modern-day Battle of Gettysburg. A defense plan is in place and weapons are at the ready. Now, we're just waiting for the attack.
We won't have to wait too long, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Medical experts expect an earlier flu season than other years, with a potentially sizable increase in flu cases predicted after school starts.
Seasonal influenza is bad enough, killing 36,000 Americans and hospitalizing 200,000 more in a typical year. But this year we also have the new H1N1 strain, or swine flu, and with little or no immunity to this virus, the CDC estimates 40 percent of the U.S. population will be infected. Medical experts are encouraging everyone to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
"People have to get it through their heads that we have a pandemic. It's making people sick and it's killing people," says Dr. William Norcross, family physician and clinical professor of family medicine at UCSD Medical Center. "Individual behavior will have a lot to do with the outcome of this pandemic. It's not going to be the end of the world, but there are some simple things we all can do to help prevent the spread of influenza."
The following are things you and your family can do to minimize your risk of getting the flu during the next few months.
Prepare a flu emergency kit in case the virus is serious enough to keep you and your family at home. According to Consumer Reports magazine and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, your kit should include:
- A two-week supply of food and water
- Fever reducers such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen.
- Cough and cold medications containing chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, pseudoephedrine and lozenges with dyclonine, glycerin or honey can help ease symptoms.
- Electrolyte drinks, such as Gatorade or Powerade, to keep you hydrated.
- Hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol, such as Purell, to kill viruses when soap and water aren't available.
- Surgical masks with a rating from the FDA of at least N95 to help prevent spreading the flu. Masks need to be replaced often and disposed after use.
These flu defense measures should be practiced by everyone, everywhere.
•Get vaccinated for both the seasonal flu and H1N1 as soon as it's available. It's likely that two shots will be required — one for seasonal flu and one for H1N1. Seasonal flu shots should be available next month, while the H1N1 vaccine won't be ready until early- to mid-October, with the first vaccinations given to pregnant women, young children and their parents, health care workers and non-elderly adults with chronic medical conditions.
•Keep your hands away from your face to reduce the chance of delivering viruses directly to your eyes, nose or mouth. One study found that people typically touched their faces 15 times in an hour.
•Wash your hands often. One of the most common ways people catch flu and colds is by rubbing their nose or eyes after their hands have been contaminated with a virus.

The Chronicles of a Moe.ron
View Single Post
turnin gas to noise
Joined: Aug 2007
Location: californication
Oddometer: 7,292
Part Three (Day of First)
Moe.ron's life was forever altered Saturday.
We were to ride Quatal Canyon Road to Cerro Noroeste Road down to Maricopa, on to Elkhorn Road through Carrizo Plain to 58 to Pozo and finally home via Hi-Mountain Road. A big, long dual sport loop with absolutely everything you could ask for.
Of course it all starts as many of our rides in this land do…fast, twisting tarmac of Route 33
from Ojai to Ventucopa.
We had to leave a little late that morning due to moe.ron's commitments, but it was all good. I was confident we could catch up to the large group of Adventure Riders that were in the area for a ride and camp in Pozo. The flag man at a road work zone asked if we were with "the BMW club" of 30 or so bikes, we said " We are trying to be" He said we were 30 minutes behind them and there was no way we would catch em.
Well…we pushed it pretty hard through the ascents and descents of the Los Padres. My plan was to skip Quatal Canyon and head straight to Maricopa; sure I would find some bikes fueling up. Now, as we motored along the flat straight into Ventucopa I spotted a line of bikes making way down Quatal Canyon! We had found the pack.
Moe.ron's life was about to change… both of us oblivious to this as we spun around to get on to Q-Canyon Rd….His life will now be known in two distinctly different parts…Life Before Q-Canyon and Life After Q-Canyon…
We shut down, drained our bladders and prepared to get down this seemingly innocent stretch of dirt road….the only advice I gave was about the drop outs I found the first time I came down it…the road drops away suddenly when traveling with excessive speed and in the bottom of these drop outs are 1-2' crevices that will tear your fucking heart out if you are not ready for em…so, be on your toes!
The first bits of road are roughed up pavement till you get past the quarry, then its NF dirt road going up the mountain. The dirt started easy enough, no big deals, nothing too crazy, I tried to remember which drop outs contained the soul sucking crevices and which I could launch a bit off of….then we caught up…met some of the fellas, made a couple quick intros to guys I have seen and read for years on this site.
Great to finally meet y'all!!
Shortly before we met up with the fellas I noticed the road was beginning to change...it was getting wet and with the wet was the mud…slipping, sliding, mud…like owl shit on a brass door knob, this stuff was slick.
We had a lot of cold weather with snow during the nights out here over the last few weeks and now with some nice warm temps, we had a perfect recipe for a good ole fashion quagmire.
The farther we got up the mountain the more we ran into ice and snow mixed with mud. Not much different from my ride last weekend above SB, only this time I had 20-25 bikes in front of me and the temps were wonderful.
The trickiest or at least most intimidating portion was a solid ice climb that required some fancy throttle control and finesse. Some folks had problems, but for the most part it was smooth operations. Lots of guys dismounted and helped to catch folks if an issue arouse….everyone in it together, I like that.
Moe.ron was doing fucking outstanding at this point, but I was a little nervous for him
walked down to our bikes as our turn to try the climb approached... I think he wanted to discuss technique and gear selection theory for a bit…I figured it might be best to not think about and just go…just go…ride the bike up the fucking hill, don't nuke it out…just go….I told him I am going up in second and using the clutch to control my speed….just go, don't think, just go.
And go he did!! No problemoe.

Quotes: John Kricfalusi
"Taking the cartooniness out of the cartoon does not make it realistic. It just makes it bland. This is my biggest complaint about modern animation and it goes back to Disney. If you are going to go to great lengths to take the cartooniness, magic and imagination out of your cartoon characters, then you better replace it with something else - like maybe good specific designs and and an understanding of human nature and individual multi-layered characters. Rich personalities derived from observation of real life humans interacting the way they really do in the actual world around you. This never happens."
—John K, quote excerpted from one of his posts. on John K Stuff.
"A lot of characters in modern cartoons are simply mouthpieces for the writers. They speak in the writer's voice rather than the character's voice, tell the jokes that the writer and his writer friends think are funny, but are totally out-of-character for the character who is actually saying them. This common writer's flaw is known as "writerspeak". "I'll bet that asteroid will burn out in the atmosphere and shrink to the size of a chihuahua's head". That's writerspeak. It's informational, a setup for a gag that is supposed to happen at the end of the cartoon. A gag that the audience will predict the second they hear the writerspeak setup and congratulate themselves when they find that they were duped into being right. A gag that the cartoonists are not allowed to actually make funny by drawing the payoff funny. This is a line of dialogue that could be read by any character in the story. To the writer of a line like this, the characters are interchangable, just an assortment of extra mouths for the writer, whose mouth doesn't appear on screen. The writerspeak writer avoids writing character specific dialogue by using catch phrases. If you just tack on "D-oh" at the end of the line, then you know who said it. You could change that to "Cowabunga" or whatever else and instantly define your characters."
— John K, "Writing For Cartoons 9 - Dialogue" - John K Stuff.
"I think the blog revolution really did some great stuff for animation, it probably does it for every medium. Steve Worth has a great animation archive blog, theres so much information now online. Not just about animation that everybody already knew about, like Disney, but stuff thats been forgotten: Great old comic books, a hundred years worth of comic strips, all this stuff is available to young cartoonists who need inspiration. When I was a kid it was really hard to find any information on animation, now all the information that you would ever want about cartoons, comics, illustration, its all available online. It should cause a renaissance of cartooning for the next generation, because theres so much information to pull from now. I mean, its a visual medium its the most visual medium, even more than live-action. Even old, classic live-action movies, most of the directors were artists John Ford, John Huston, these old directors were artists, they really were visual people, and in cartoons its even more so. Everybody in a cartoon production in the 1930s to the 1950s was an artist. They didnt even use scripts, if you went to Walt Disney and said Hey, Ive got this great script for a cartoon hed look at you like you were crazy. This is animation, you have animators with a story sense write the stories on storyboards. As soon as scripts took over the animation business, it was kind of the end of the visual part of animation, and since the sixties its just become more and more inbred."
—John Kricfalusi, quoted from interview "A Conversation with John Kricfalusi"
Q: "The thing that strikes me watching this is that this isnt the John K. cartoon of ten years ago, or even five years ago. Your style has evolved greatly in the past few years, in terms of graphic complexity and experimentation. Has this been a conscious effort to move in a new direction and have you noticed the changes yourself?"
JK: "Its because of a number of factors. I am just doing small projects now, so I do more of the work myself. When I was running a studio with fifty artists, I spent a lot of time training, directing and explaining what I wanted. You cant explain animation in words. I did as many drawings as I could, but they tended to be rough poses that after going through the assembly line process eventually get toned down. Katie Rice influenced me a lot. She showed me all kinds of funny abstract expressions in anime cartoons and her own drawings were super cartoony, original and cute all at the same time. The way she applied the abstractions from anime (and other influences) she liked was a revelation to me. Around the same time, thanks to Jerry Beck and Mark Kausler I started watching a lot of previously lost 1930s rubber hose cartoons: Fleischer Talkartoons, Lantz Oswalds, Ub Iwerks and Terry Toons. For decades these cartoons have been derided by cartoon historians and even some of the animators themselves. These cartoons have attributes that far surpass their seeming limitations. They were extremely inventive and the animators were encouraged to do what comes naturally to cartoonists and animators. They were allowed to draw and animate in their own individual styles. In the early 1930s, there were no set bible of rules for how to animate. The medium was too young. Every animator figured out their own unique ways of moving things. I absolutely love watching Grim Natwick, Bill Nolan, Irv Spence, Carlo Vinci and others animation because it is all so unique. And the cartoons were musical: all cartoons from the 1930s to the 1950s were timed to musical rhythms. This gave everything that was happening an underlying sense of fun. The tempo was the structure of the action. Amid, you also inspired me when you showed me a lot of 1950s animated commercialshighly stylized stuff that was beautifully and inventively animated. In a couple of my recent [adult swim] shorts, I tried to caricature some of my favorite designy commercials. Those 50s commercials as you know were all animated by the same guys who learned their craft on rubber hose cartoons in the 1930s and honed their principles on 40s cartoons. Their stylized stuff in the 50s reflects all that foundational skill and knowledge even though it seems like they are breaking the rules."
—John K and Amid Amidi, excerpted from an interview with Cartoon Brew about his Simpsons couch gag.
"The reason to do layouts here (in America or your homeland) is so you can create custom acting. By "custom" I mean creating original poses and expressions that only fit the particular scene and story you are working on. If you are just gonna use stock prefab model sheet poses and expressions, then there really is no reason to do layouts in the country. You might as well just send the script directly overseas. It's a lot cheaper and all that matters is what the characters say anyway, right? Not how they say it or how they think? This is not exactly what layout was created for. It's really the animator's job to create the acting, but since animation is all done overseas (or in flash) this is the best solution I could come up with to at least have some directorial control over the performances in the stories. It's a bandaid created for TV production. However, TV practices and philosophy have largely been adopted by many full animators too. Meaning that most animators these days are expected to not really vary much from the model sheets or even the limited house styles that exist today. I see characters in every major studio making the same expressions and moving the same way they have moved for 25 years. Maybe some move smoother or have more overlap, but the acting seems to be out of the can. I've found that even really good animators have trouble adapting to different styles and especially breaking out of stock expressions, actions and poses. Too many artists do things the way "it's supposed to be done". So layout is also a way for me aid the animators in getting the customized acting I like. Chuck Jones used to do a lot of his own poses even back when he had great full animators at WB. I think he said not all them could draw well and needed detailed poses from the director. The ideal to me would be to have animators who not only can move things smoothly, but who also have their own individual styles - and an ability to break from formula - to be able to think on their feet. To be able to feel the emotions of scene and have the chops to translate those feelings into distinct and confident drawings and animation. Formula thinking Vs. Feeling. Instead of approaching a scene with thoughts like "Let's see, how is 'happy' supposed to look?" or "How many frames does an anticipation and overshoot take?" Or "How much overlapping action can I squeeze into the scene?" "How can I get some 'tude into the pose?" I much prefer artists who understand the characters and story and the specific scenes they are working on. Then they naturally from the depths of their loins custom craft all the drawings and timing to milk the maximum impact and surprises out of the context of the story. That's one of the things I love about Clampett. He encourages his animators to customize everything rather than just repeat actions they have already done a million times. That's true creativity as opposed to being merely smooth and professional. More poses? You'll probably have to put up with another lecture; sorry about that."
—John K, "More Wilderness Adventure Layouts" - John K Stuff.
"Roger Ramjet cartoons deals in only the essentials - which are much cheaper than the fancy expensive polishing process that goes on in the big studios. In fact Eddie (Fitzgerald) and I often cleanse ourselves with Roger Ramjet cartoons right after watching a spectacular well polished, pore- filled blockbuster. Usually about a group of unlikely companions who get thrust out of their familiar environment (their womb-arena) and into a new harsher one. Through their arbitrary trials and solitary pathos scenes they learn to get along and become sweet friends and kindly democrats, thus teaching us that love, togetherness and character arcs are much more important than the blind corporate greed and abuse that creates these pictures. But you can just go ahead and buy the cartoons if you and your family like to laugh and don't wanna be preached to by moguls who don't believe in their own lessons."
"The animated features today and most TV cartoons are written by comittees of people who try to figure out what entertains an audience. They should instead be written by entertaining people who already know because they entertain people everywhere they go in real life. That's why we have so much insincere non-entertainment crap like "Character-arcs", bad puns, ripoffs of famous movies in the guise of "parody", contrived pathos, characters who try to find themselves, bland protagonists, one-shaded villains, broadway style tuneless songs that "move the plot forward", in every damn feature. Another amazing lie you see in many animated features is when they make fun of corporations or try to teach the audience ethics-even though the movie is being made by evil corporate executives who have no morals at all - people who stop the actual entertainers from entertaining you so they can pretend to be creative themselves. Anyone in the world can learn how to "write" this kind of stuff. It's not "story" or writing. It's just stuff. You just have to be related to the right person. A real writer has a sincere and unique outlook (his voice) on the world and has a naturally entertaining way to communicate it so that regular folks can enjoy it. This insincere style of film making can be traced at least as far back as Irving Thalberg and the earliest film executives at big motion picture companies. These people exercised their creativity, not by getting on stage and dancing or telling a funny story, but by "giving notes" to real live entertainers. How many folks complain about the Marx Bros. movies that have all that bullshit romance filler in the movies? Romance and story filler about characters THAT NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE CARES ABOUT. This is pure executive thinking. Who goes to a Marx Bros. movie to watch Zeppo and his ilk? Every second of the "story" makes you twitch around in your seat. Today we have huge budget animated features with nothing but Zeppos in them, and no Grouchos. It's all filler and zero pure entertainment or a sincere creator's voice."
—John K, "Writing For Cartoons 3" - John K Stuff.
"I know general average folks appreciate cartooning talent because I witness it all the time. Almost everyone. But when I got in the business I found out that the business itself didn't appreciate the people who are the reason the business has a market at all. Cartoonists were at the bottom of the totem pole. Executives confer with "writers" and gave them the sole upfront credit for each cartoon. Now when I think of writers, I think of people who have something original to say and the gift of verbal communication to pass on their unique points of view to the public (i.e. Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ted Geisel). Novelists, maybe some old time poets, journalists, people who have a burning desire inside to share their thoughts about subjects of which they have personal knowledge - like Ted Geisel, have a great imagination and unique communicative skills. There is a another kind of writer though who has no particular point of view, no knowledge of the subjects he writes about, no imagination and no love for cartoons - and not the least amount of skill or talent for communicating anything fresh or interesting. These are "writers-for-hire" a kind of wimpy mercenary who will write anything for money on demand. This is what we had in the cartoon business in the 80s. A "writer-for-hire" would write a superhero story one day, then a Smurfs the next day and follow it up with a "Muppet-Babies". never- ever would they be caught dead talking to the artists about what they would like to draw or what they thought would be funny."
"Tom and Jerry is about as uninspired a cartoon series as was ever created. It's pure generic cartoon thinking of the time. What is a cartoon? Uh... it's where a cat chases a mouse and there is lots of hurt and noise and mayhem. It's hard to be more basic than that, so Bill and Joe didn't fix something that wasn't broken for 15 or 16 years. For that whole period they didn't even try to create new characters. As long as Tom and Jerry was popular and still winning awards, why waste brain cells thinking up something new that might fail? Now I like Bill and Joe as people and I admire their skill and professionalism and even their basic cartoony instincts, but where we depart is in this: I can't even imagine having to draw the same small handful of characters doing the same things for decades. I would go insane. Don't creative people want to create? In other words do new things? Apparently not all of them do."
"For decades, we've have endless repetitions of a small handful of stock stylized cliched characters. Why is this so? It all started with Walt Disney himself. It took him years to get to the point where his characters evolved even one superficial trait. His first star character had not a single trait. Mickey is the ultimate bland character. His appeal completely depends on how cute the individual artists can draw such simple shapes. He's made of circles and ovals and has no personality. He doesn't even have a distinct voice. It's just Walt in falsetto which sounds exactly like anyone else doing a falsetto. He's very cute though and is a good character to train your youngest kids to understand cartoons with. He makes a good logo."
—John K's thoughts on Mickey Mouse, "Stock Disney Characters - The Bland Lead" - John K Stuff.

In the Nimzo-Indian defense (1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4), black intends to surrender the bishop pair with an eventual Bxc3, possibly inflicting white with doubled pawns. Deviating from this plan midway can be fatal, as one of my opponents found out. Coincidentally, this was both my best-rated win and shortest game ever:
Very good players. I've played hundreds or more in the nimzo and usually play A3 in the classical and have never seen black not take on C3.
Black could have gone c5 instead of 0-0
I dont see how a 2300+ player could make such a mistake/blunder. It appears he is resigning all of his games.... something smells bad here ......
Yeah, it's definitely suspicious, but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I thought he might have been overexhausted, made a stupid mistake, and then realized that now would be a good time to take a break from chess. After all, this game was the first one he folded, and the rest were folded several hours later on. I don't really see how this would fit the profile of a cheater...
Though it may be a blunder, resigning seems premature... Based on the position, I'd let the bishop hang (which would weaken Whites Queenside pawn structure, and lose tempo) and attempt a kingside attack with tempo. It's a longshot, but entirely possible to generate some counter play on White's kingside due to White's lost tempo and undeveloped kingside.
One mistake could quickly even the score in such a game.
Um, no. Black loses a piece for no compensation - to a trap well-known for hundreds of years which he voluntarily walks into. That's just a loss. Hope is not a strategy.
On a more general note i have often seen good players arguing that giving up the bishop pair is not really forced in the nimzo, and that a good repertoire can be assembled with some GM-approved lines where black hardly ever takes on c3. That said the way your opponent choose to avoid the trade is definitely not appealing :)
A pawn down maybe...

The truth is the rarest, most valuable commodity in the world.
Lies, falsehoods, disinformation, and deception are tools used by the deceivers to conceal the truth from the public.
Floyd Mayweather and Al Haymon are the masters of deception in boxing today. They have very nearly pulled off the fraud of the century in boxing, they came very close to successfully choreographing Mayweather's successful duck of Manny Pacquiao in what would have been the biggest event in prizefight history. It was a gigantic operation, requiring numerous lies, fake retirements, bluff conditions, roadblocks, and excuses.
But as one should know, there is always a smoking gun which exposes the truth disguised in the false.
I found the smoking gun in December 2009. It came during a conversation with George Peterson, the trainer and co-manager of Paul Williams (Al Haymon was also the co-manager of Williams).
At a Paul Williams press conference in New York City in December 2009 I asked Peterson for his opinion about a hypothetical clash of Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather (even though Mayweather was stonewalling the negotiations)?
Peterson's responses were stunningly prophetic. He obviously knew the secret agenda of Haymon and Mayweather...
Scoop: Who do you see winning Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather?
Peterson: "It's not gonna happen."
Scoop: You don't think so?
Peterson: "No."
Scoop: Why not?
Peterson: "It's not a fight that's meant to be made. That fight's just not meant to be made."
Scoop: Why not? Everyone wants to see it?
Peterson: "A lot of people want to see it BUT THEY'RE NOT GONNA SEE IT."
Scoop: Mayweather doesn't want it does he?
Peterson: "Ah, that fight is not gonna be made."
Scoop: You're saying it with a lot of certainty in your voice.
Peterson: "Yes sir. Yes sir. If it was gonna be made it would be made by now."
Scoop: Who doesn't want to pull the trigger? (I know Mayweather is the chicken here, just want to try to get more words from Peterson.)
Peterson: "I just don't see it being made."
Scoop: You know something but won't say it.
Peterson: [Smiles].
Scoop: Who would win, if it was made? Hypothetical. Just for fun?
Peterson: "It's not gonna be made. That fight is not gonna be made."
Scoop: I hear you, it's not even worth wasting the energy on a fight that is fantasy.
Peterson: "It's not gonna happen."
No, it's not going to happen, it never was supposed to happen. Floyd Mayweather and Al Haymon know Manny Pacquiao is the "kryptonite" which will destroy their powers to control the sport in America. Mayweather's career as the "Face of Boxing" will be over after a KO loss. Consequently, Al Haymon would lose a tremendous amount of leverage with a Mayweather KO loss. Haymon, a megalomaniac, can't afford to take that chance and come up second-best to Bob Arum.
George Peterson knew the secret plan of Haymon and Mayweather and he revealed it back in December 2009.
Everything George Peterson said that afternoon has come true.

Good essay, Juli. As we know, Amazon wants to herd north-of-the-border customers into the conglomerate's Canadian e-store offering somewhat limited selections of books. It would be fascinating to track the related growth in illicit P2P traffic, based on country-related IP info. Would some kind of meaningful research be possible even with pirated books available from a number of sources? I notice that some hacker types revealed that illegal downloads of books and movies were happening in U.S. Congressional offices. So who knows?
Of course the real villains here—by way of pressuring Amazon—would probably be territory-minded publishers rather than Jeff Bezos & friends.

The House Behind the Cedars, which many consider Charles Chesnutt's finest novel, tells of John and Lena Walden, mulatto siblings who pass for white in the postbellum American South. The drama that unfolds as they travel between black and white worlds constitutes a riveting portrait of the shifting and intractable nature of race in American life. This edition revitalizes a much-neglected masterpiece by one of our most important African-American writers. As Werner Sollors writes, "William Dean Howells did not overstate his case when he compared Chesnutt's works with those by Turgenev, Maupassant, and James . . . and [Chesnutt] has become one of the most important 'crossover' authors from the African-American tradition."
"A pioneering work about racial passing."—Werner Sollors, Harvard University
CHARLES WADDELL CHESNUTT (1858–1932) was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He drew on his experiences as a biracial American to address racial passing in his classic novel The House Behind the Cedars. Earning a living as a court stenographer and lawyer,… More about Charles Chesnutt

43 year old man | Dallas, TX, USA | Seeking women 23-41 within 5000 miles
I've never tried online dating before, but I thought I would give it a chance - briefly. I rarely meet someone I'm very interested in and I'm tired of the same social scene. I'm very social and enjoy being out, but I want to find someone I can enjoy spending quiet nights at home watching movies with as well. I love the energy of the city but also sitting and listening to a thunderstorm at the beach or in the country. I want someone who makes me smile and I'm excited just to be around no matter what we're doing. I want to want to hold someone's hand and kiss all the time. I love to travel and experience new things, and I want someone to share that with. I'm an extremely well rounded person with a lot to offer - I'm athletic, intelligent, passionate, sensitive and am looking for someone who has it all. I know what I'm looking for and I refuse to settle. I'm looking for the right person whom I share great chemistry with (eyes are everything) and who could become the love of my life. I'm very close with my family, have strong traditional values and hope that, in addition to that undeniable spark, I can connect with someone at every level, physically, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually. Those people don't come along very often and I'm hoping she's out there.

Centennial high school student diagnosed with tuberculosis in St. Lucie West | Video
ST. LUCIE WEST — A student at St. Lucie West Centennial High School in Port St. Lucie has been diagnosed with tuberculosis and the St. Lucie County Health Department has launched an investigation into which students and staff had contact with the infected person.
So far, the investigation has identified about 135 potentially exposed individuals recommended to be tested, according to the St. Lucie County School District and health department.
Tuberculosis is a treatable and curable disease. Patients who develop an active case of tuberculosis could have constant coughing for more than three weeks, fever, night sweats and weight loss. Sometimes patients cough up blood. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if not treated properly, tuberculosis can be fatal.
The student's name and grade were not released. It's unknown how long that student has attended Centennial.
St. Lucie County School District spokeswoman Janice Karst said the school has about 2,500 students and 250 staff members. Centennial is the largest school in the district.
"The safety and health of our students and employees is of paramount importance to the school district," Karst said. "We are working very closely with the St. Lucie County Health Department to provide information pertinent to their contact investigation."
The individual with the suspected case is receiving care and is not attending school. There is no risk to those continuing to attend classes at the school, local health officials said.
St. Lucie County Health Department Administrator Larry Lee said so far the investigation indicates the patient did not get the disease locally.
Florida Department of Health spokeswoman Jessica Hammonds said there were 36 reported cases of tuberculosis in 15 Florida counties during August — none from a school setting. Two of those cases were reported in St. Lucie County. Information on those cases was not available on Monday afternoon.
Orange County had the highest reports, six cases, followed by Duval County with five cases.
Lee said the agency will not know if any of the identified close contacts of the Port St. Lucie student were infected until after testing is completed.
On Monday, parents of students attending Centennial received a recorded phone message and letter about the school's tuberculosis case.
Since significant exposure to tuberculosis is required to develop an infection, only students and staff who have had prolonged, close contact with the individual will need to be tested by the health department, the agency said. The parents of identified contacts will receive separate notification along with a permission form for testing.
"This is not an emergency situation, but it is important that any parents that receive the letter requesting permission to test their child complete the consent form," Lee said. "If tests indicated that anyone was infected, there is preventative medical treatment that we will offer."
Lee said the agency's tuberculosis program nurses routinely perform contact investigations when cases of tuberculosis are reported. He said the agency is proceeding according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocol, making certain that immediate family and close contacts are identified, tested, and, if infected, provided with medical preventative treatment.
Lee said tuberculosis experts from the Florida Department of Health are assisting with this investigation.
"Only a small percent of individuals infected with (tuberculosis) ever develop the disease, and that often takes years," Lee said. "Parents certainly can bring their child to their private physician if they desire, but it is extremely unlikely that even if anyone was infected, they could develop an active case of (tuberculosis) and have symptoms after such a short time."
Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocol, the St. Lucie County Health Department has identified and notified all staff members, immediate family and close contacts who need a tuberculosis test.
The county health department is offering free blood testing to all students and staff identified as having close, prolonged contact with the student.
If tests indicated anyone was infected, preventive treatment is provided by the health department.
Since significant exposure to tuberculosis is required to develop an infection, only students and staff who have had prolonged, close contact with the individual will need to be tested by the health department.
The parents of identified contacts will receive separate notification along with a permission form for testing.
Additional information on tuberculosis is available at www.stluciecountyhealth.com or www.cdc.gov/tbWHAT IS TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease usually affecting the lungs. Other parts of the body can also be affected like lymph nodes, kidneys, bones and joints.
Tuberculosis can affect anyone. People with weakened immune systems are at increased risk.
Tuberculosis is spread through the air when a person with untreated tuberculosis coughs or sneezes. Prolonged exposure to a person with untreated tuberculosis usually is necessary for infection to occur.
The symptoms of tuberculosis include a low-grade fever, night sweats, fatigue, weight loss and a persistent cough, sometimes with blood. Some people might not have obvious symptoms.
Most people infected with the germ that causes tuberculosis never develop active tuberculosis. If active tuberculosis develops, it can occur two to three months after infection or years later. The risk of active disease lessens as time passes.
A person with tuberculosis can remain contagious until they are treated with medicine for several weeks.
Treating tuberculosis takes much longer than treating other types of bacterial infections. With tuberculosis, you must take antibiotics for at least six to nine months. The exact drugs and length of treatment depends on age, overall health, possible drug resistance and its location in the body.
In addition to spreading the disease to others, an untreated person can become severely ill or die.
Each year, more than 9 million people globally become sick with tuberculosis and there are almost 2 million tuberculosis related deaths worldwide annually. Tuberculosis was once the leading cause of death nationwide.

The technical equipment is rounded off by the high quality precision lens (F=1:2.8), USB 2.0 high speed interface, and 4x digital zoom. The guaranteed shock resistance up to a height of 1.5 m makes the SVP AQUA-WP6800 suitable for all outdoor activities. Due to its easy handling, it is especially well-suited for children. The power supply is provided by two conventional AAA alkaline batteries and support microSD or SDHC memory cards up to 32 GB (card sold separately) can be used as storage media.
Customer Reviews of SVP 18MP Max. Underwater Digital Camera & Video Recorder - Waterproof up to 3 meters - AQUA-WP6800 Pink
Very Poor Quality!3/21/2013
Even though reasonable megapixels, photos are very poor quality and grainy. Color is not natural. Controls are very awkward to use (not intuitive). Some don't work at all. Would not recommend even at one half the price.
have not used1/23/2013
seems to be a nice item for the price. like the idea that it takes photos and video. will not be able to try it out until summer in the pool.
It's ok1/19/2013
This camera is ok for the money. The quality is poor and there is not much of an owners manual to explain much to you. But for the price it's ok.

Sturla Favorites
I was looking for ...
Favorite thing: ... a Tabach (to buy smokes) and the foreshore (to check it out.)
The other villages close by show off their foreshores but the road through Sturla curved away from the sea.
It was Monday of course which is often the day that shops close and this Tabach was closed. And did not have that cute machina where you can insert euros and receive smokes.
But it did have a cat on display. An excellent cat - posing on its display shelf, with aplomb.
The foreshore was a jumble of boating clubs and auto repair shops.
I walked back up to the main drag and waited for my bus back to Bogliasco as buses to other destinations thundered past and a local signora took her bags off a seat in the shelter and invited me to sit down.
At least, I think that is what she was doing - my Italian is still not great but I was going by her gestures and body language.
