The Space
Experience authentic, Balinese life. The Payogan Homestay is located within our traditional, Balinese family compound, a 20 minute walk away from Ubud. The room is spacious, with a clean and contemporary style, a beautiful space complemented with Balinese accents. You will wake up to the traditional sounds of Bali and experience the essence of staying in a Balinese village. This listing is for the upstairs room.
The space includes a large bedroom, an attached living space, a large balcony, and a private bathroom. There is a small cooking station on the main floor. Should you wish to stay for a longer period, we can provide a stove and other cooking equipment. The open-air bathroom includes a shower with hot water only a turn-of-a-tap away.
Living in a Balinese family compound means that you will have many friendly, neighbors. The compound is home to a large extended family, all of whom are very involved in traditional Balinese life, and committed to our village ceremonies. Many of these ceremonies also take place in the family temple which is in the middle of the compound. We welcome you to participate if you choose. In fact, we encourage our guests to join us to get the true feeling of Balinese culture. We can always help you through the experience and provide the traditional wear. We can also introduce you to some local craftspeople if you're interested in Balinese art and clothing.

Ketut is a very personable host. Extremely friendly and willing to help you have an enjoyable vacation.
It is difficult to describe in words how mich we enjoyed our stay at Ketuts Place. If you really want to get inspired by the local live of Bali, then Ketuts place is the perfect stay. He and his family live in a small village just a 7-10 Minute scooter ride outside of Ubud. They are the perfect hosts to stay near Ubud.
Ketut had great recommendations for nice walks to the rice field, good local restaurants and nice places to visit. He found the time to show us around in his village and the surroundings.
We were traveling with our 8-month old Baby boy and from the first moment the whole family fell in love with him. And so did our son. They did everything to make our stay of 8 nights as easy and relaxed as possible and they succeeded.
This years Nyepi-celebrarions fell into the period of our stay and once more we were lucky that we chose Ketut as host. We went to the temple together and saw all the ceremonies going on for this special day in balinese culture.
From Ketuts place all important sights of The Ubud area are easily to reach by a scooter ride: Downtown Ubud, rice fields, Monkey Forest, Elephant Cave, Waterfalls, Spas and massages... there is so much to see and to so.
We highly, highly recommend this place to everyone!!
Amazing! We booked the room upstairs but got actually upgraded to an as beautiful room as the other was. These rooms are big and have an amazing design! We felt comfortable right from the beginning. Ketut and his family are lovely people who care a lot about their visitors. We got integrated so well! We absolutely loved it !
I had a great experience at Ketut's, firstly with the transfer organised from the airport, I was met by Ketut's son. This was a good way to start my trip particularly as it was my first time in Bali and Ubud.
The room was exactly as described, I had the top floor as in this picture, it was lovely and very clean. There is also an AirBNB room beneath you which made me feel more comfortable as a lone traveller, however I generally felt safe in the compound and everyone was very friendly residents and customers alike.
The breakfast was good providing fruit, omelette and banana pancakes and as much black coffee as you can manage throughout your stay!
Ketut is a great host and nothing is too much trouble to arrange at a descent price.
Ketut was a wonderful host who was willing to help us in every way. From arranging taxis to pick us up from the airport, to personally taking us on a guided tour around Ubud and surrounding areas which included the volcano, the water temple and an incredible coffee plantation. The room was beautiful, clean and really lovely to stay in. The breakfast is delicious and even when one of us wasn't well they helped cater to our needs. If you don't mind the sounds of nature at night (which are easy to get used to) then this is definitely a great place to stay if you're visiting Ubud.
Our host Ketut and his family were very welcoming; All made certain that our stay was pleasant. The room was beautiful and very clean. The breakfast was generous and delicious. Ketut suggested many activities for us, one being the wedding of his nephew, taking place at his home stay. It was an honour to be part of the event. Ketut Homesaty is a good 45 minute walk from Ubud Center. The taxi comes up to about 6 USD one way; although not very expensive, it does add up. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody who wants a more personal and cultural experience of Bali.
I had such an excellent, enjoyable, comfortable stay here and I very much would recommend this place to anyone. Ketut is so kind and caring, as is his family. The breakfast is delicious. There's also a mini fridge where I kept snacks and beverages to take with me for my day trips. It's not too far from Ubud and was easy to get around / go on adventures from there. I actually miss this place! If I ever go back to Bali I will surely pass through here again!

Dancing With The Stars
How Old Is Maksim Chmerkovskiy?
The Bad Boy of the Ballroom is no longer a boy: Maksim Chmerkovskiy is 32! The most smoldering, most sassy, and most frequently shirtless pro on Dancing with the Stars pro, Maks was born on January 17, 1980 in Odessa, Ukraine, part of the former Soviet Union. (But remember — never call a Ukrainian "Russian"! They are most decidely not the same thing!) He took his first dance class when he was four, though at a young age he was much more interested in sports like soccer and swimming. A youthful skiing accident could have sidelined him indefinitely from all physical activities, but Maks fought to regain his strength, and lucky for ballroom dancing fans everywhere, his hard work paid off! His entire family, including his younger brother, fellow Dancing with the Stars pro Val Chmerkovskiy, moved to the United States where they struggled to make a living and to learn English. Like any classic American success story, Maks made it, and now he's Dancing with the Stars.

The Bachelorette
Chris Harrison's Blog: Constantine and Ashley Almost Passed Out From Smoke Inhalation
They say love is a battlefield, so what's wrong with some choking along the way? In his Entertainment Weekly blog on The Bachelorette Season 7, Episode 7, Chris Harrison explains how Ashley Hebert and Constantine Tzortzis had the ride of their lives in Taiwan. He also digs into JP's "foul mood"; his respect for Ashley's decisions about Ryan, Lucas, and the cocktail party; and more thoughts about his interview with Emily Maynard.
Here are highlights from the Rosemaster's full blog:
This is always an awkward week
"The week before hometowns is a bit awkward, and always a tough one every season. Most of Ashley's relationships have moved forward to the point where they are ready to be exclusive, or as exclusive as the show will allow. So the guys are done living together, done seeing each other go on dates with Ashley and done with group dates."
Tunnel of love/death
"Constantine got the first date and it was a pivotal one. To borrow a phrase from Ashley, she and Constantine had a breakthrough. He was one of those guys like Ryan that she knew she cared for but wasn't sure if she had any chemistry with. Constantine really rose to the occasion and they had an amazing date. One not-so-romantic note about their date was the fact that they almost passed out due to smoke inhalation on the train ride. When they went through a tunnel the smoke billowed into the cabin and there was no escape. Ash, Constantine, and the entire crew were coughing up a lung and gasping for air when they finally got out of the tunnel."
Ben was always a lock for hometowns
"There really wasn't a lot to Ben's date as far as his relationship with Ashley. The two of them are in a great spot and all this date did was move it forward another few positive steps. They have such great chemistry and he knows just what to do and say to put her at ease. There was no question in anybody's mind that he was getting a rose and a hometown date."
Whiny little group date
"After this week the guys won't have to endure group dates and they really won't see each other except at the rose ceremonies. JP was in a foul mood all week and being put on the group date only made it worse. It's not that he's necessarily insecure, but it's tough for these guys who care for Ashley at this point to have to watch her date the other guys. JP did deliver the line of the night when he described Ames' outfit as the 'offspring of an ostrich and Elton John.' While JP and Lucas were wallowing in their misery, Ames was his usual positive, delightful self. He carried on as if he didn't have a care in the world and continued to impress Ashley."
"Ryan was crushed and speechless"
"Easily the most noteworthy moment of the episode came during Ashley's one-on-one date with Ryan. He was so excited to finally get his date with her. He was having a blast and really feeling good about everything when Ashley pulled the rug out from under him and sent him home. The usually positive Ryan was crushed and speechless. He didn't know what hit him and didn't know what to say or ask Ashley. He never saw that coming from her. Ashley explained herself excellently by letting him know at this point if she doesn't feel it, why lead him on any further and then drag his family into it? Despite the honest intentions, it still hurt her and Ryan."
Lucas has gone stagnant
"Much like her relationship with Ryan, Ashley just wasn't feeling it with Lucas at this point. Lucas was a little put off in Hong Kong and since then his relationship with Ashley just got a little stagnant, and at this stage in the game you just can't have that."
More about Emily Maynard
"I talked to Brad before and after the interview and all he cared about was Emily. Before the interview he asked me as a friend to be there for her and not be to hard on her, which I don't feel I was. After the interview all he wanted to know was how she was doing. … I have a lot of respect for Brad for deciding not to show up, yet giving Emily his blessing to do the interview and speak freely. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with Emily. I always have been blown away by the strength of this woman and she continues to impress. However sad the news I'm glad that the millions of fans that have followed their saga have gotten the answers they deserve."

Maple Syrup Urine Disease
Research and general acceptance
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), which is also known as branched-chain ketoaciduria, branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase deficiency, or BCKD deficiency, is a rare but potentially fatal inherited metabolic disorder (IMD) passed down in an autosomal recessive pattern. The special diet associated with MSUD is a low-protein diet characterized by restriction of a specific amino acid known as leu-cine; the use of high-calorie liquid or gel formulas that are free of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs); and frequent monitoring of the BCAA levels in the patient's blood plasma. Strict adherence to this diet is necessary to prevent developmental delays, mental retardation, and recurrent metabolic crises leading to respiratory failure and death.
MSUD was first reported in 1954 by J. H. Menkes, a pediatrician, and his colleagues. The family in Menkes's case study had lost four infants within the first 3 months of life to a previously undescribed degenerative disorder of the nervous system. The urine of these infants smelled like maple syrup or burned sugar, whence the disease got its name of maple syrup urine disease or MSUD. An effective treatment, however, had to await further biochemical analysis of the metabolic dysfunction underlying the disease. In 1960, a researcher named Dancis established that the metabolic block in MSUD is caused by an insufficient supply of an enzyme that helps to
(Illustration by GGS Information Services/Thomson Gale.)
break down three branched-chain amino acids—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—during the process of digestion. The deficient enzyme, now known as branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex, or BCKD, was purified and defined in 1978.
Following Dancis's work, S. E. Snyderman and his colleagues reported on the first successful dietary therapy for MSUD in 1964, which they accomplished by restricting the patients' intake of foods containing high levels of branched-chain amino acids. Most protein-rich foods, such as meat, dairy products, and eggs, however, contain high levels of BCAAs. Dietary therapy of MSUD thus consists of a combination of protein substitutes containing amino acids without any BCAAs, and enough low-protein or protein-free foods to meet the patient's daily caloric requirements. The MSUD diet of the early 2000s as modified for different age groups is described in further detail below.
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD)
GENERAL FEATURES. MSUD is an inborn metabolic disorder (IMD), which means that it is a heritable disease characterized by the body's inability to process one or more specific substances essential to health. A person diagnosed with MSUD lacks the enzyme complex that is needed to break down the three BCAAs. The patient may lack the enzyme complex entirely, it may be inactivated, or it may be only partially active. In all three cases, the three BCAAs and their byproducts, which are called ketoacids, build up in the urine, blood, and other body tissues. In the classical (most severe) form of the disease, a baby born with MSUD develops a severe acidosis (abnormally high levels of acid in the blood) during the first week of life, followed by seizures and coma caused by swelling of the brain tissue, and finally death.
CAUSES. MSUD is caused by a mutation in any of four genes, known as BCKDHA, BCKDHB, DBT, and DLD respectively. These four genes code the proteins that form the BCKD complex, which is needed to break down BCAAs into smaller molecules. Mutations in any of the four genes will eliminate or reduce the function of the BCKD complex, thus allowing the levels of BCAAs and their byproducts in the patient's body to rise.
SYMPTOMS AND DIAGNOSIS. The symptoms of MSUD vary in severity and time of onset, depending on the subtype of MSUD. As of 2007, researchers distinguish 5 subtypes, defined by the amount and type of enzyme activity present in the body:
Early diagnosis of MSUD is essential to prevent neurological damage and death in infancy. Some states, but not all, have mandatory screening programs for MSUD. Classic MSUD can be diagnosed in many cases before the physical symptoms appear by swabbing the baby's ear canal within 12 to 24 hours of birth and testing the cerumen (ear wax) for the odor of maple syrup. A child suspected of having MSUD should be given a blood test without delay. The blood test used to confirm the diagnosis is the BCAA analysis, which examines the levels of the 20 amino acids in the baby's blood and their relationship to one another. The doctor can also order molecular genetic testing or tests that measure the levels of organic acids in the baby's urine. Prenatal diagnosis of MSUD can be performed by mutation analysis or by measuring the concentrations of BCAAs in the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby inside the mother's womb.
TREATMENT. The first step in treatment of classic MSUD is prompt reduction of the levels of BCAAs in the body tissues of the affected child, particularly the level of leucine, which is the most toxic of the three BCAAs. In the 1960s and 1970s, dialysis was the method most commonly used to lower the BCAA levels rapidly. As of 2007, however, the preferred method involves administration of special intravenous solutions of amino acids that do not contain BCAAs, with glucose (sugar) added to meet the body's energy needs. In some cases insulin is added to the solution. These infusions lower the BCAA levels by enabling the child's body to use the excess BCAAs to synthesize proteins.
In extreme cases, MSUD can be treated by liver transplantation, but dietary therapy is a lower-risk form of treatment and has equally favorable results.
The MSUD special diet
At all stages of the life cycle, the MSUD diet has the following characteristics:
INFANCY. Infants diagnosed with MSUD are given a special MSUD formula supplemented with controlled amounts of infant formula. Breastfeeding is beneficial to some children with MSUD but does not remove the need for the special formula.
CHILDHOOD TO AGE 10. As children grow older, they must continue to take a protein substitute along with other foods that are weighed and measured at home to supply the correct amount of leucine. In 2003, Vitaflo, a company based in the United Kingdom, introduced a line of protein substitute products and isoleucine-valine supplements for children and adults with MSUD. These products can be purchased only with a doctor's prescription. The protein substitute formulation for children from 12 months to 10 years of age is an unflavored powder containing 8.4 g of protein equivalent, designed to be mixed with cold water to form either a gel or a drink. The formula includes all necessary vitamins, minerals, and trace elements as well as amino acids except for the 3 offending amino acids, and can be flavored with special packets in black currant, orange, lemon, raspberry, or tropical flavors. The product takes less than a minute to prepare and should be drunk at once; however, it can be stored in the refrigerator and used within 24 hours. The child must drink water or a permitted drink along with the MSUD Gel.
If needed, a packet of valine or isoleucine supplement, which also comes in powder form, is to be mixed in with the MSUD Gel and flavoring.
Vitaflo also makes a chocolate-flavored low-protein high-calorie supplement called VitaBite, which can be eaten like a candy bar, or used in permitted recipes as a filling for cakes or mixed into Rice Kris-pies treats.
The child should have leucine levels reevaluated every 6 to 12 months.
ADOLESCENT AND ADULT. The MSUD protein substitute for children over the age of 8, teenagers, and adults contains 15 g of protein equivalent and is intended to be taken as a low-volume drink. The powder, which contains the daily requirements of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, is mixed in a special shaker with 80 mL (about 1/3 cup) of cold water, shaken well, and drunk immediately along with water or a permitted beverage. Like the MSUD Gel, Express can be flavored and mixed with isoleucine or valine supplements. It can also be stored for no longer than 24 hours in a refrigerator if necessary.
As with children, adolescent and adult patients should have their leucine levels measured periodically.
The function of the special dietary regimen and products for maple syrup urine disease is to prevent recurrent metabolic crises in the patient and associated damage to the central nervous system so that the patient can survive infancy, develop normally, and have a normal life expectancy.
The benefits of strict adherence to the MSUD diet are normal physical and intellectual development and a normal life span with no limitations on activity. Several patients diagnosed with MSUD as children have been able to complete their education, marry, and have children without complications. The longest-lived patient with MSUD as of 2007 has been followed for over 40 years and is still in good health.
Children with MSUD must be taught from an early age that strict adherence to their dietary regimen is critical to their health and growth, and that they must take responsibility for avoiding high-protein foods and otherwise controlling their diets.
Special care must be taken with even minor illnesses or infections, as the risk of an acute episode of MSUD is increased at these times.
Children and adolescents with MSUD may occasionally need psychotherapy or medications to cope with the anxiety and depression that often accompany diseases requiring careful attention to diet.
Failure to comply with the MSUD diet puts the patient at risk of elevated blood levels of BCAAs, subsequent swelling of brain tissue, seizures, and death from respiratory failure.
Research and general acceptance
Studies published since the late 1960s indicate that dietary restriction of branched-chain amino acids is an effective and low-risk approach to managing MSUD. A 2005 study of the new line of Vitaflo products found that the four patients in the study not only liked the taste, texture, and appearance of Vitaflo Express, but found it "very easy to prepare." In addition, the researchers found that leucine concentrations improved in all subjects; three of the four patients improved to the point that they could add more natural protein to their diets.

In Massachusetts, lawmakers recently discovered a similar program was much more expensive than they thought. After years of subsidizing film productions without looking too closely at how that was helping the economy, state officials put it under a lens and found that taxpayers were spending as much as $300,000 to bankroll each position.
Other states that went in for a close-up after dispensing hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks found that every public dollar put into the film industry was generating a few dimes, or less, in revenue.

Men allegedly attack personal injury lawyer in Grand Forks
The alleged victim happens to be a personal injury lawyer.
"Absolutely," said the attorney about whether he plans to sue the three men, who appeared in state district court Monday on felony charges. "I'm already working on it."
The attorney and his wife asked not to be identified, partly out of concern that the three men might revisit them violently.
"That would be a big mistake," the lawyer said, but also pointed out: "These guys are not the sharpest knives in the drawer."
Sneak attack
According to the attorney, he heard Jason Gore, 27, James Costello, 35, and Alexander Forrest, 26, yelling and throwing bottles and saw them urinating on a building and a parked car about 2:15 a.m. Saturday in the 200 block of Third Street North down town.
He confronted them.
While the man he later came to know was Gore talked to him, "the other two snuck up behind me," said the attorney.
He said Costello and Forrest punched him in the face, choked him, went through his pockets, stole his iPhone and kicked him into unconsciousness.
The lawyer's wife said she witnessed part of the attack; she also attended Monday's court hearing, in which the three men made televised appearances from the Grand Forks County jail.
Cellphone tracking
After the attack, the couple watched the three men drive off in a Ford pickup, Gore at the wheel.
The lawyer's wife remembered the "Find My iPhone," feature on her husband's phone and used hers to locate his on a GPS-like screen map.
"We watched them drive down (U.S.) Highway 2," said the lawyer. "So we drove out there to see if it was them."
The couple found the trio at McDonald's on Gateway Drive where the drive-through window is open all night.
"They were shocked that we found them," he said.
The couple called police.
The men denied it was them. They had handed the iPhone to a McDonald's employee in the drive-through window, telling her not to tell the police.
"But she did," said the attorney.
Felony charges
The men soon were in the Grand Forks County jail awaiting their first appearance Monday.
Costello and Forrest each face three Class C felonies, each with a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine: aggravated assault, theft and interfering with an emergency phone call. They also each face a Class B misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct for the alleged public urination.
Gore faces two Class C felony charges: interfering in an emergency telephone call and theft; he also faces misdemeanor charges for the alleged public urination and for driving with a revoked license.
All three have been working in Grand Forks painting at the new Howard Johnson's motel downtown, the former Townhouse, according to Assistant State's Attorney Tom Falck. They also recently have worked in western North Dakota on painting and water-proofing jobs, he said.
Kids to feed
Judicial Referee John Thelen set bail for Forrest at $5,000 cash or surety, at $7,500 for Costello based on what Falck called his "substantial criminal history" in several states, and at $3,500 for Gore – less than the others because he's not charged with assault.
Costello asked for a lower bail, telling Thelen he needed to return to Pennsylvania. "Last year, my wife passed away and my two kids, I'm trying to provide for them. I'm not stupid. I would show up for court."
But Thelen said Falck's recitation of Costello's felony convictions in Delaware, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida as well as Pennsylvania made the $7,500 bond appropriate. He also ordered Costello not to leave North Dakota pending his next court appearance.
Thelen set preliminary hearings for the three on Nov. 26.
Forrest was represented Monday by attorney David Dusek, who successfully argued for a $5,000 bail amount, rather than the $7,500 Falck initially recommended.
By late Monday afternoon, Costello and Forrest had bailed out; Gore remained in jail.
'Pain and suffering'
The alleged victim was treated for his injuries at Altru Hospital Saturday and released.
"It still hurts," said the attorney, mentioning a sore neck and a cut on his scalp that likely will leave a scar.
State law requires restitution for any medical bills connected to a crime of violence, he said.
Then there is civil court.
"I plan to sue them for pain and suffering and emotional distress," he said.
He knows in such cases often there isn't much money to be obtained, the attorney acknowledged.
"But a judgment can follow them around for the next 20 years, too," he said. "And if they don't pay restitution, they go back to jail."
Stephen J. Lee writes for the Grand Forks Herald.

I find it funny how quickly some fans dismiss this movie as a relic of 1999 when the internet just began or put most of the emphasis on why it worked so well was the clever marketing attached to it but I think there's more to it than that.
I rented it when it first came out but by that time it was a known hoax and my friend at the time kept dissing the movie all the way through so it was hard to enjoy. I went back and watched it this weekend and thought it was very well-done but can't help but think that maybe the "clever" marketing hurt it in the long run since people dismissed it when it was announced as not true and hung all of it's strengths on the marketing.
I think it holds up and is really clever as a film (kinda like a found film version of
Picnic at Hanging Rock
), regardless of the marketing. I saw a panel for it this weekend before a panel for the original
Texas Chain Saw Massacre
and couldn't help but think how much these two movies have in common. Both movies were very low budget, had uncomfortable working conditions that impacted the actors's performances, were highly influential, had the documentary feel and claimed to be based on a true story, both stories start by a group of youths checking out a situation (TCM - grave robbings, BWP - legends) and both used the power of suggestion to make the viewer use their imagination. I never thought about all the similarities between the two.

The 28-year-old will officially join on June 1 when his contract with the Dingwall club expires.
Stuart McCall moved to sign the former Celtic player after his impressive performances helped County to fifth place in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
Lawson, who had loan spells with St Johnstone and St Mirren before joining County in 2007, told MFC TV: "It's great to have my future sorted out. There is a lot of uncertainty around Scottish football so it's really pleasing to have things sorted early doors.
"I enjoyed my time at Ross County. I have been pleased with my performances and thankfully the manager spotted that and came in to sign me.
"He is probably the main reason why I joined. I met him and he was keen to bring me here which was great and obviously the boys have enjoyed a fantastic season and I am keen to try and continue that next year."
Motherwell also confirmed their full squad situation today with new deals offered to the likes of James McFadden and Fraser Kerr, who was on loan from Birmingham.
Definitely leaving the club are Birmingham-bound Darren Randolph and Nicky Law, both of whom rejected offers, while Steven Saunders, Omar Daley, Steven Hetherington, Josh Watt and Nicky Devlin were released.
McCall is awaiting answers from McFadden, Kerr, Tom Hateley, Chris Humphrey and Michael Higdon, with defender Simon Ramsden signed up last week.
Kallum Higginbotham will return to Huddersfield following his loan spell while under-20s players Adam Asghar and Dominic Green have been freed.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Modest contemporary design that doesn't overdo it, combined with luxurious rooms and a Dupont Circle location, are a pleasant surprise.
Extreme Makeover: Hotel Edition? That's pretty much the case here. The Doyle Hotel Group took a year and $52 million to turn this historic D.C. hotel into one of the city's most modern lodgings, but kept the design grounded in a certain classicism. Reopened in April 2009, the former Jurys Washington Hotel now sports pitch-perfect decor behind its 1940s-era white stone exterior. Rooms deliver more than expected in comfort and amenities. and a bustling lobby and bar scene attracts a solid local crowd.
Wedged between a Starbucks and a Books-A-Million on the border of Dupont Circle park, you'd never guess from the hotel's understated exterior and low-key lobby and bar that it holds some of the city's most modern rooms. Cool grey tones, minimalist furniture, and sleek marble bathrooms are subtly contemporary, avoiding the pitfall of overwrought trendiness that quickly dates so many design-oriented hotels. But beyond design, the rooms also offer a fresh perspective on luxury: without name brand sheets and separate soaking tubs, it falls short of the standrads set by institutions like the Four Seasons or Ritz, but details like heated bathroom floors, huge flat-panel TVs, and free Wi-Fi provide an appealingly practical form of luxury -- not to mention a lot of value -- for guests. The rooms are small to average in size, but smart design and layout still allow for roomy bathrooms and king beds, while unobstructed views of Dupont Circle and its wide surrounding streets keep the rooms feelings bright and sunny.
Indeed, the rooms alone are enough to earn the Dupont Circle Hotel a nod, but that's not the only card up its sleeve. The central Dupont Circle location, lively bar scene, and excellent restaurant have landed it a role in the local scene, so it doesn't just feel like a vessel for business travelers and weekend warriors. It also has good service, a free business center, small fitness center, and free Wi-Fi throughout (even some of the city's priciest hotels nickel and dime guests for email access). The W Washington D.C., another stylish property, offers a better gym, a spa, and a rooftop terrace, but the Dupont still manages to hold its own, especially if you consider the price.
Efficient, but not overly doting or personalized
Service here is no less -- and in most cases, no more -- than what you'd expect from a midrange, 300-plus-room hotel. Though the website presents an image of luxury, the service never aspires to the thoroughness or attentiveness that you'd get at a true luxury property. Doormen gathered my luggage and welcomed me to the hotel, but the front desk staffer barely looked up from his computer while uttering his welcome and then merely handed me keys and waved in the direction of the elevator.
On Dupont Circle, a bohemian enclave just northwest of downtown
Dupont Circle mixes residential, commercial and nocturnal entities in a homey neighborhood package that's not too far from the tourist attractions. Block by block, Dupont Circle encompasses a number of different things to do and see, such as Embassy Row, well-kept brick brownstones, art galleries (including the renowned Phillips Collection), and historic buildings such as the Cathedral of St. Matthew (where J.F.K.'s funeral was held) and the Woodrow Wilson House, the only presidential museum in the district.
But to most visitors, Dupont Circle also means nightlife. Unlike many parts of Washington, it's been a bohemian enclave for decades and is often considered the heart of gay life in Washington. There are watering holes of all kinds, from the divey Big Hunt to the upscale 18th Street Lounge, to Apex, a popular gay dance club for more than 25 years.
Though the Dupont Hotel is within walking distance of the restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops of Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle, it is a bit too far removed from the great majority of the tourist attractions to consider walking -- either take cabs or use the Metro's Red Line.
Solid with nice touches like heated bathroom floors
Rooms here are rock solid: You could strip away several of the hotel's amenities and still recommend the hotel purely for its great rooms. Highlights include free Wi-Fi, comfortable pillow-top beds, huge bathrooms with heated floors, and views over Dupont Circle from some rooms. The 1940s-era quarters, like most of D.C.'s historical buildings, are conservative in size (the smallest are around 350 square feet, average for D.C. hotels), but the renovations made lemonade from lemons by using smart furniture layout, big bathrooms, and large windows to keep them from feeling cramped or dark. Conservatively modern design stays grounded with details like wooden shutters, leather headboards, and subdued grey-striped carpets, but it's still fresh, minimal, and urban in a way that's only just seeping into other D.C. hotels (the W Washington D.C. and Donovan Hotel are the closest match for modern, but their rooms are far smaller).
Free business center and gym, but nothing extraordinary
Standard facilities are clean, new, and up-to-date, but this isn't where the hotel has put its $52 million in renovations: They ultimately feel like small, repurposed rooms rather than brand-new, redone facilities. It one-ups most of its competitors with free business center services (most force you to pay by the minute and per page printed), and its facilities are all 24 hours, but if you're after better than basic amenities, the W Washington has an on-site Bliss Spa, a much better gym, and a rooftop bar and terrace.
Comfortable for families, but they'll likely need to book Deluxe rooms or suites
This is an easy hotel for families to negotiate: Rooms are quiet and comfortable, there's 24-hour room service and on-site dining (both offer kids' menus), and it's in a central location with plenty to do and eat within walking distance. Rollaways and cribs don't fit in the hotel's basic rooms, though, and there are no DVD players in rooms or on-site features like a pool to keep kids entertained.
Reopened in April 2009 after top-to-bottom renovations, everything here sparkles and shines.
Organic food with a Southern twist at Café Dupont; local scene at Bar Dupont
Along with the hotel's complete revamp, it replaced its previously popular Irish pub with a new restaurant and bar: Café Dupont and Bar Dupont. The bar gets a lively after work and local crowd starting around happy hour and going into late night, especially on weekends. Though it's taking a bit longer to garner attention, Café Dupont offers a surprisingly good menu: Its Franco-American cuisine focuses on local and organic ingredients, with a Southern twist. Prices are typical for a hotel restaurant, but the cuisine is much, much better -- it probably won't take long for this to become as popular as the bar.
Despite its modest 1940s-era exterior, the Dupont Circle Hotel is in the vanguard of modern design among D.C. hotels after a yearlong, top-to-bottom renovation. Handsome, well-appointed rooms are the real highlight, but solid service, a popular local bar scene, excellent Cafe Dupont, and a prime Dupont Circle location complete the substance behind its style.

Every Friday during the season, Daniel Martin of CSNBaltimore.com and Greg Crawford of CSNNW.com will come together to give you the NCAA Hoops East/West Power Rankings, a ranked list of the nine best teams from the West and the nine best teams from the East and Midwest in college basketball. Below is this week's edition.
9. Wichita State - This is the first appearance in the rankings for Gregg Marshall's team and it is well-deserved. The question now is whether the Shockers can run the table in conference play--which would mean an undefeated season. Would I put money on it? Not in that crazy Missouri Valley.
8. Florida - To Florida's credit, they've played a tough schedule. Losses this season are to Wisconsin and Connecticut, of course not slouches. Casey Prather has really emerged.
7. Oklahoma State - Guard play wins games and Oklahoma State's cup overfloweth with guard play. Conference play starts tomorrow vs. Kansas State.
6. Villanova - You can only penalize a team so much for losing to the top-seeded team in these rankings. They took on a challenge against Syracuse and lost, but that doesn't mean they're not the favorite in the Big East.
5. Iowa State - Keep sleeping on the Cyclones. I dare you. We'll truly see Jan. 7 when they take on Baylor if they can pass the biggest test of the season, but offenses like the one Fred Hoiberg has are tough to stop.
[RELATED: Georgia Tech's Robert Carter Jr. out indefinitely with meniscus tear]
4. Michigan State - They move up by virture of Villanova's loss, though no big wins happened over the past week. Ohio State on Jan. 7 still circled.
3. Wisconsin - Iowa is coming up on Sunday, Wisconsin's first real test since the first week of December. Unlikely hero Nigel Hayes helped the Badgers to a blowout win over Northwestern.
2. Ohio State - They opened conference play with a win over Purdue, so there's no need to move them out of the No. 2 spot with their undefeated record. Michigan State still sits on the horizon Jan. 7.
1. Syracuse - We wanted to know how Syracuse would (Fair) against one of the nation's best in Villanova and they answered resoundingly with a win. Find me five better point guards in the country than Tyler Ennis. It'll be tough.
9. Hawaii - Yes, great place to visit, but might not be for visiting basketball teams. This is the best Rainbow team in many years and they are going to be hard to keep out of the top spot in the Big West Conference.
8. UNLV - The Runnin Rebels had a less than impressive start to the season, but now have won seven in a row. They will be tested hard Saturday as they face a vastly improving Air Force team in a Mt. West Conference game.
7. UCLA - No big wins this year to speak of, but it still is UCLA and they have so many talented players, plus one of the most underrated coaches in all of college basketball in Steve Alford.
6. Utah - Yes, even losing to a great Oregon team will keep the Utes in the top nine. It was a game that probably should have been won by Utah, but the loss in overtime to Oregon is nothing to be ashamed of and Utah could become an NCAA tournament team before the season is done.
5. Colorado - Biggest test of the year coming up on Sunday when undefeated Oregon visits. Tad Boyle in his three plus years at Colorado has lost only six home games, so Sunday is a national game to watch.
4. Gonzaga - Fourth place might be a lack of respect for the Zags, as they are off to a great start in the WCC, winning the first three including dismantling their tough opponent in the WCC year in and out, St. Mary's. When they hit the road soon, we will see how the Bulldogs play without talented guard, Gary Bell, who is out 4-6 weeks with a broken hand.
3. San Diego State - This is the best team out west that no one is talking about. They are not only 10-1, with their only loss coming to Arizona, but they really have no super-stars, which makes their season look even better. The Mt. West league play will be tough, but this is a powerful basketball team.
2. Arizona - Even with the destroying of Washington State on Thursday night, holding the Cougars to 25 points (not a typo), the Wildcats drop out of the top west spot this week, but I feel there is a valid reason, called the Oregon Ducks.
1. Oregon - Undefeated, have passed every exam so far, including beating a once defeated Utah team on the road in the Pac-12 opener. And what is scary about the Ducks is the fact they can win a game at any tempo as they proved in Utah. If they win at Colorado on Sunday, then they might be top five in the country.

Cafe Socrates
Cafe Socrates is a weekly undergraduate philosophy discussion group. We meet every Thursday from 6 to 8 PM, though people are not expected to stay for the whole two hours and often drop in for just a part. One or two faculty are usually present to get discussion started and moderate the conversation, but students pick the topics, and it is supposed to be their conversation. We also sometimes offer debates, formal presentations, and movie nights. Many involved students are philosophy majors or minors, but engineers, business majors, and artists attend as frequently as philosophy majors do.

AMARILLO -- On Wednesday at 5:34 p.m. Amarillo Police were sent to I-40 and Coulter on a 4 car pileup.
When officers arrived they discovered the collision was in the 7100 Block W I-40 North Frontal Road. A black Chevy HHR was going northbound on Coulter when the driver lost control of the vehicle, drove over the concrete median, then struck a 2000 Olds Silhouette Van that was waiting at the red light for west bound to north bound traffic for the NFR.
The Olds was hit hard enough that it struck a red 2011 Chevy Silverado that in turn struck a 2013 Volkswagen Golf.
The driver of the Olds had to be extricated from the van by the Amarillo Fire Dept. She was transported to a local area hospital with life threatening injuries.
The driver of the Silverado was taken to a local area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the Golf was not injured.
The driver of the HHR was transported to a local area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Speed is a factor. Narcotics are a possible factor in this collision.
The incident is being investigated by the Traffic Investigation Squad of the Amarillo Police Dept.

great food. love the pad see ew and pad thai.
Posted by hate parade on 10/19/2011
This place puts the ew in pad-see-ew. I'm assuming the place uses the lowest possible grade for meat. The sauce used for the spring rolls taste similar to a cleaning solution I once smelled, but never wanted to taste. The veggie dumplings were just plain unappetizing. Now I know why this place is so cheap...you pay for what you get.
Posted by regular client on 06/06/2011
I have been eating at Em for two years now. The food is terrific! The pad shrimp, pad tai and almost all appetizers are very good. They also have a good shrimp coconut soup that is really nice, but it is very overpriced. The service is fair, sometimes the waitresses are not too friendly. Food is served on oversized plates through that can sometimes make it awkward to eat if you are with someone else. The atmosphere is in need of color to contrast to lovely white seats that they currently have. Lunch atmoshere is not very inviting but the evening is a bit better. All in all this is a nice spot for good tai food that is reasonalbly priced .

I've been ordering takeout from Em for several years. The food used to be consistently excellent. The beef salad was tender with plenty of toasted rice and mint and lime and a complex dressing that was delicious on sticky rice. Every time I order it, the beef gets tougher, and the sauce gets harsher and less complex, the mint is long gone. The toasted rice is like gravel, when they remember to put it in. My boyfriend still likes their crispy duck dishes, though.

Hate tofu, love moc duck. Never been disappointed with anything here
Posted by anonymous on 01/18/2011
i love the mango salad so much, so we opted for Em over Joya. not the best idea. don't order the Duck Panaang. aside from it being cold upon delivery, the duck was so tough and overcooked that we could barely even cut it with a knife. seriously.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/04/2010
I'm well-versed in Thai food and Em is the best but far in this area. Sure, it's not Sriprphai, but it's damn good and way better than nearby Joya (greasy) or Ghang (flavorless).

Mid-century melee
By the late 1940s and the 1950s, things started to even out for the Cougars. Washington State College (the school didn't become a university until 1959) split the rivalry 5-5 in the '50s, when the Cougars hosted the matchup at Spokane's Joe Albi Stadium instead of in Pullman (except in 1954). This annotated photo from 1948 shows kicker Bill Lippincott's game-capping field goal as the Cougars shut out the Huskies 10-0 in Spokane. By the time 1960 rolled around, the Huskies led the all-time series 30-16-6.

Today in Black History, 9/6/2012
• September 6, 1877 Charles Joseph "Buddy" Bolden, cornetist and a key figure in the development of ragtime music, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Not much is known about Bolden's early life but by the mid-1890s he had formed a series of bands and created a looser, more improvised version of ragtime and added blues to it. Between 1900 and 1906, Bolden's band was the hottest group in New Orleans. In 1906, Bolden began to show signs of mental instability and in 1907 he was confined to the State Insane Asylum where he died November 4, 1931. There are no known surviving recordings of his performances but he is associated with several songs, including "Careless Love," "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It," and "Funky Butt." Many other New Orleans jazz musicians, including Joe "King" Oliver, were inspired by Bolden's playing. Jelly Roll Morton described Bolden as "the blowingest man since Gabriel" and several jazz historians have referred to him as "the father of jazz." Several books have been written about Bolden, including "The Loudest Trumpet: Buddy Bolden and the Early History of Jazz" (2000) and "In Search of Buddy Bolden: First Man of Jazz" (2005).
• September 6, 1905 Atlanta Life Insurance Company was founded by Alonzo F. Herndon, a prosperous black barber and entrepreneur. Atlanta Life started as a small insurance association with a capital investment of $5,000 and offered one contract, an industrial health and accident policy which paid a small sum upon the death of a policyholder. By 1909, the company had more than 23,000 policyholders and in 1916 the firm became a stockholder organization. Herndon died in 1927 and was succeeded as president by his son Norris. By the time of his retirement in 1973, the company had $84.5 million in assets and more than $346 million in insurance in force. In 2001, the company adopted a new direction as a financial services organization and a new name, the Atlanta Life Financial Group. Today, it has $20 billion of life insurance in force, $202 million in assets, and serves 2 million customers.
• September 6, 1925 Mathis James "Jimmy" Reed, hall of fame blues musician and songwriter, was born in Dunleith, Mississippi. Reed began playing the guitar at the age of ten. After spending several years performing in Mississippi, Reed moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1943. By the 1950s, Reed had established himself as a popular performer and from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s had a string of hits, including "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby" (1956), "Honest I Do" (1957), and "Baby What You Want Me to Do" (1960). His recordings of "Big Boss Man" (1961) and "Bright Lights, Big City" (1961) are included on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. Reed died August 29, 1976 and was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.
• September 6, 1929 Charles Calvin Rogers, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, was born in Claremont, West Virginia. Rogers joined the United States Army and by 1968 was serving as a lieutenant colonel in command of 1st Battalion, 5th Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Infantry Division during the Vietnam War. On November 1, 1968, his battalion was manning a fire support base near the Cambodian border when it came under heavy attack. Rogers' actions during the attack earned him the medal, America's highest military decoration. His citation partially reads, "In the early morning hours, the fire support base was subjected to a concentrated bombardment of heavy mortar, rocket and rocket propelled grenade fire. Simultaneously the position was struck by a human wave ground assault, led by sappers who breached the defensive barriers with bangalore torpedoes and penetrated the defensive perimeter. Lt. Col. Rogers with complete disregard for his safety moved through the hail of fragments from bursting enemy rounds to the embattled area. He aggressively rallied the dazed artillery crewmen to man their howitzers and he directed their fire on the assaulting enemy. Although knocked to the ground and wounded by an exploding round, Lt. Col. Rogers sprang to his feet and led a small counterattack force against an enemy element that had penetrated the howitzer positions. Although painfully wounded a second time during the assault, Lt. Col. Rogers pressed the attack killing several of the enemy and driving the remainder from the positions. Refusing medical treatment, Lt. Col. Rogers reestablished and reinforced the defensive positions. As a second human wave attack was launched against another sector of the perimeter, Lt. Col. Rogers directed artillery fire on the assaulting enemy and led a second counterattack against the enemy forces. His valorous example rallied the beleaguered defenders to repulse and defeat the enemy onslaught. Lt. Col. Rogers moved from position to position through the heavy enemy fire, giving encouragement and direction to his men. At dawn the determined enemy launched a third assault against the fire base in an attempt to overrun the position. Lt. Col. Rogers moved to the threatened area and directed lethal fire on the enemy forces. Seeing a howitzer inoperative due to casualties, Lt. Col. Rogers joined the surviving members of the crew to return the howitzer to action. While directing the position defense, Lt. Col. Rogers was seriously wounded by fragments from a heavy mortar round which exploded on the parapet of the gun position. Although too severely wounded to physically lead the defenders, Lt. Col. Rogers continued to give encouragement and direction to his men in the defeating and repelling of the enemy attack." On May 14, 1970, President Richard M. Nixon presented the medal to Rogers. Rogers rose to the rank of major general before leaving the army. He later became a Baptist minister serving U.S. troops in Germany where he died on September 21, 1990.
• September 6, 1967 Rodney Maxwell Davis, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, was killed in action while serving in Quang Nam Province of the Republic of Vietnam. Davis was born April 7, 1942 in Macon, Georgia. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1961 and by 1966 had been promoted to sergeant. By September 6, 1967, he was serving as a platoon guide with Company B, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division. His actions on that date earned him the medal, America's highest military decoration. Davis' citation partially reads, "Elements of the Second Platoon were pinned down by a numerically superior force of attacking North Vietnamese Army Regulars. Remnants of the platoon were located in a trench line where Sergeant Davis was directing the fire of his men in an attempt to repel the enemy attack. Disregarding the enemy hand grenades and high volume of small arms and mortar fire, Sergeant Davis moved from man to man shouting words of encouragement to each of them firing and throwing hand grenades at the onrushing enemy. When an enemy grenade landed in the trench in the midst of his men, Sergeant Davis, realizing the gravity of the situation, and in a final valiant act of complete self-sacrifice, instantly threw himself upon the grenade, absorbing with his own body the full and terrific force of the explosion. Through his extraordinary initiative and inspiring valor in the face of almost certain death, Sergeant Davis saved his comrades from injury and possible loss of life, enabling his platoon to hold its vital position." The medal was presented to Davis' family by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew on March 26, 1969. In May, 1987, the USS Rodney M. Davis was commissioned in his honor.
• September 6, 1968 The Kingdom of Swaziland declared independence from the United Kingdom. Swaziland is a country in Southern Africa bordered by South Africa to the north, south and west and by Mozambique to the east. The country is approximately 6,700 square miles in size with a population of approximately 1.2 million. More than 82% of the population practice Christianity.
• September 6, 1972 Anika Noni Rose, stage, film and television actress and singer, was born in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Rose earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in theater from Florida A&M University and her Master of Fine Arts degree in drama from the American Conservatory Theater in1998. That same year, she made her professional stage debut in "Valley Song." In 2001, she won an OBIE Award for her performance in the off-Broadway production of "Eli's Comin." Rose's big break came with her role in the 2003 Broadway production of "Caroline, or Change" which won her the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. She has also appeared on stage in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (2008) and "Company" (2011). Rose's debut in movies came with the 1999 film "King of the Bingo Game." In 2006, Rose starred in the film "Dreamgirls." She also starred in the television series, "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" in 2008 and 2009. In 2010, she appeared in the movie "For Colored Girls."
• September 6, 1980 Hale Aspacio Woodruff, artist and educator, died. Woodruff was born August 26, 1900 in Cairo, Illinois. He moved to Paris, France in 1928 to study under Henry Ossawa Tanner. Woodruff returned to the United States in 1931 to teach at Atlanta University. One of Woodruff's major contributions to the development of African American art and artists was the inauguration in 1942 of an annual exhibition devoted to the works of black artists from around the country at Atlanta University. The annual exhibition ran successfully until 1970. In 1946, Woodruff accepted a teaching position at New York University where he taught until his retirement in 1968. Examples of his work are the three-panel mural "Amistad Mutiny" (1939) at Talladega College and the six-panel mural "The Art of the Negro" (1950) at Atlanta University. "Rising Up: Hale Woodruff's Murals from Talladega College" is currently on exhibit at museums around the country.
• September 6, 2007 Allan Rohan Crite, Harlem Renaissance painter, died. Crite was born March 20, 1910 in North Plainfield, New Jersey. He graduated from the Boston School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1936 and earned his Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree from Harvard University in 1968. Crite's paintings generally reflect religious themes or the African American experience. He is quoted as saying, "I've only done one piece of work in my whole life and I am still at it. I wanted to paint people of color as normal humans. I tell the story of man through the black figure." Crite's paintings are in the collections of many major museums, including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

The University Line is key to Houston's greatness

America can't afford another entitlement program
Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston Over the past year, Americans have said in every possible way – through letters, phone calls, town hall meetings, and elections – that they do not want a government takeover of health care. Today, the president will once again deny the American people the right to a clean start with health […] [Read More]
Ignoring friends who dial 911
Anita Carman, founder and president of Inspire Women As I read the headliner story of a man dying in a snow storm when no one responded to ten of his 911 calls, I wondered how many people are dying silently on the inside without ever making a call. If you are head of a family […] [Read More]

Sad News !
Here are some photos Bill Emory took at the King of My Living Room show in Charlottesville, September 5, 2003.
Manalapan (City Salvage), the second full-length album by Brady Earnhart is so brilliant and wondrous that it's almost unfair to write about any other CDs in the same column. Earnhart is first and foremost a poet (he received an MFA in poetry from the University of Iowa) and his lyrics have a sophistication and sensitivity that is rare in the contemporary queer music scene. . . While I don't know in what order he writes his songs, lyrics or music first, the outcome is perfection. The music and the words are ideally suited to each other. Earnhart's vocals and acoustic guitar are supplemented by Gina Pezzoli's cello on the title track, while Kris Curran's French horn shines through on "I Just Want More." The backing vocals on "Arlington" give it an early Simon & Garfunkel zest. I cannot recommend this disc strongly enough.
--Gregg Shapiro, writing for the Windy City Times and Bay Area Reporter 2004-03-10
Brady Earnhart is an acoustic troubadour who writes with a wry lyrical touch that belies the depths of the wellsprings into which he taps. He will beguile with a playful melody, then pop you upside the head with a stunning truth or a dizzying emotional memory.
--Dave Drummond, Music Help Web
I'm one of those media types. I produce two radio shows geared toward GLBT listeners, and consequently often get preview copies sent to me by the artists. The past couple weeks have been particularly bountiful, as I have received 8 to 10 new discs. I get through about one a day.
--JD Doyle, producer of Queer Music Heritage on KPFT-fm, Houston, and co-producer of Audiofile, heard monthly on This Way Out.
For my long-distance, twenty-minute interview with JD Doyle, click here.
Manalapan... where Brady Earnhart spent time snorkeling and the title of
his second album, a surprisingly breezy meditation on longing, love, and
trying to "see back to where I started" even when the water gets murky.
Earnhart's impeccable lyrics abound with telling details, humor, and
poignant revelations. Characters emerge fully realized ("Good Night
Friday Night"). Some Whitman letters inspire perhaps the best song ever
born out of a doctoral thesis.
--David Kleiner of Minor 7th
From fine poet and old friend Forrest Gander:
"Brady Earnhart can intimate with heartrending subtlety the
psychological tensions that attend friendship and love, 'the
questions I was not supposed to ask.' The best songs of
Manalapan only pass through your ears to break open at your
core where they stir up a strange response at once painful and
deeply tender."
Brady Earnhart, After You. With his feet firmly planted in traditional folk, songwriter Brady Earnhart has fashioned a distinctive and poetic writing style. His understated guitar and breathy
voice are warm and inviting, drawing the listener into the open- hearted
smile of his words. It's a wry smile, expressing a keen-edged, slightly
oddball perspective that somehow remains welcoming. Sparse, tastefully
played and arranged cello, upright bass, mandolin, accordion, fiddle,
banjo, lead guitar, keyboards, and percussion highlight the beauty of
the songs. There is a touch of John Martyn in Earnhart's relaxed style,
which only aids in making his work accessible. A truly outstanding debut album.
--Elizabeth Papapetrou
Brady Earnhart must be a stubborn guy, in the most complimentary sense . . . Earnhart is an American original in the folk troubador tradition. His debut album, After You, is a gorgeous collection of his own diverse compositions and two unusual covers.
Earnhart's voice is warm and mellow, in the James Taylor mold, if a little bit rough around the edges. It isn't a showpiece, but it lets the subtlety and beauty of his lyrics and melodies shine. He nimbly accompanies himself on guitar, with sparkling accents provided by banjo, mandolin, and cello.
One song, "Something about Him," is an explicitly gay love song and lament for a dead high school friend who kills himself after having sex with the singer. This edgy and potentially mawkish material is handled with sensitivity and skill.
He may be in the tradition of the folk troubador, but don't be fooled -- Earnhart is singing art songs. Like the work of Stephen Foster or Aaron Copland, this work has a native American beauty. Years from now, singers with classically trained voices are likely to be singing some of these songs, like "Stephen Crane" or "After You" or the effortlessly gorgeous "Time Was." The latter tune is a perfect gem distinguished by the purity of its melody and the simultaneous clarity and depth of its lyric. A rueful and fresh statement about lost love --- "the dream that ran so deeply it still bound me after I awoke" -- it has something of the same resilience expressed in the album's dedication: "To those rocks I really should have slipped off of crossing the river."
Only a likeable, stubborn guy could toast such treacherous rocks.
--Greg Varner

Over the holidays I finished this blanket. It's a nice double knit blanket done in some really nice yarn I found in a specialty shop. I think it turned out nice.
That is a beautiful blanket. What a ton of work. I would love for you to try to photograph the up close shot of the texture again. Try doing it near a window with no flash and the light just skimming the knitting. I would love to see that texture up close.
Nice blanket, and I like that pattern.
Looks really cool. I love the pattern and the colors. Hope it keeps you warm!
What a great looking blanket. I love how the blues and greens mixed based on your stitch pattern and the resulting fabric looks very cozy and warm. Don't you love when something comes out this well?
Thank you. I used two strands and offset the striping to try and get a mottled look. The patter was called gate post, and resulted in something nice and chunky. You can see the pattern better in the attached pictures.

text: Gavin Rich - SuperSportJohannesburg - The recent defensive lapses on the away leg of the Tri-Nations have prompted Springbok coach Peter de Villiers to lean on the knowledge and know-how of the best defensive team in the recent Super 14. Stormers and Western Province officials have confirmed that defence coach Jacques Nienaber has been drawn into the national training camp currently being conducted in Johannesburg ahead of the away leg of the Tri-Nations. The Stormers boasted by far the best defensive record in the recent Super 14 season, conceding just 18 tries in 15 matches. WP, who are the Stormers in all but name, have continued that trend into the current domestic campaign. They top the Currie Cup log with the best for and against record in the competition by some distance. The Springboks were the best defensive team in the world under previous coach Jake White and it was defence that they built their successful 2007 World Cup campaign around. The basic tenets of the White system were retained into last year's British and Irish Lions series and Tri-Nations campaign, with the Boks' massive defensive effort playing a big part in their successes. However, this year the Bok defence has been porous, leaking 10 tries in three matches, and four apiece in the two matches against the All Blacks. Basic errors such as missed first time and one on one tackles have been at the heart of the malaise. But there have also been suggestions that an adjustment to the defensive system might be required under the new law interpretations, which have played into the hands of the quick-tempo New Zealand and Australian approach. The Stormers and WP both boasted their excellent defensive records under the current law interpretations, so clearly their coaching staff knows a thing or two about the business of defending. It is wise then that the Boks have called in Nienaber, who has learned the trade off Rassie Erasmus, the WP senior professional coach, with whom he has travelled a long road. He started out working with the Cheetahs as a physio when Erasmus was a player, then was employed by Erasmus when he was coaching as a fitness adviser. He has subsequently become respected as the best defensive coach on the local circuit. He took the defensive coaching job on himself this season, but shared it with Brendan Venter in 2009. It is unclear at this stage the extent that Nienaber will be involved with the Boks and WP sources say that he will be back with WP during the course of this week. WP play the Bulls on Saturday and it is understood that not everyone in the Province camp is happy with the possibility that some of their defensive secrets be exported.

Posts: 1
I'm new to the forum and I have a two part question.
Yesterday I dropped my iphone 3gs in the toilet. It obviously instantly stopped working and I shut it off immediately. I have an old original iphone that I set up last night by switching the SIM card and calling at&t and having them swap the devices on the network. Unfortunately, the old iphone doesn't have any of my contacts. Is there a way for me to use a backup from the 3gs to the old iphone? I have a macbook and backup my 3gs regularly, but only a few contacts are in my "contact" application on my computer. How can I get my old settings and phone numbers on to the old "new" iphone?
Second, this morning I plugged the 3gs phone into the computer to see if it would work and it turns on and backed up onto the computer and according to itunes still has all the photos, music and apps on it. I downloaded the new version of itunes and then itunes told me "it was complete and safe to disconnect my phone", however now the phone is stuck on the apple icon. Should I just give up on the 3gs all together or can anyone tell me what to do?
I'd like to be able to use either phone until the next generation iphone comes out in September.
