The garden museum is also worth a visit.
- The Grand Canal (Motor Boat Ride) (40 minutes): Like the Great Wall, the Grand Canal is one of China's biggest engineering achievements. It is the world's longest manmade waterway.

The Paper Feature will run every Wednesday in the Vancouver Sun's print edition, as well as online here at Pass it to Bulis. (It's called the Paper Feature for what we hope are obvious reasons.)
Good hockey teams tend to outplay their opponents, and over the Canucks' most recent six-game homestand, they did this regularly. But good hockey teams also tend to win with some regularity, and this, the Canucks are not doing.
It's bewildering. Attempts to analyze what's wrong have us all looking about as dense as Homer Simpson failing to recognize his wife's fear of flying: Marge, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Sleepy? Gassy? Is it gas? It's gas, isn't it?
Heck, I wouldn't rule out gas with the Canucks. We just don't know.
So you'll excuse me if I forgo any attempt to get in there and analyze this most recent homestand for its systemic failures, which seems like a fool's errand, and instead take a step back at marvel at this masterpiece of tragicomic theatre.
This was, in my estimation, the worst homestand in Canucks history.
I'm not talking about raw points, because it's certainly possible to reap fewer points from a six-game stretch. With one win and three loser points, the Canucks skate away from the homestand with 5 out of a possible 12. But it's not so much that the Canucks left seven points on the table. It's about how they left seven points on the table, the emotional rises and falls, the way they toyed with us, with our hearts, and found creative and unique ways to bring us to the verge, to leave us devastated and agape.
It began with the San Jose Sharks, in a game that the Canucks played well enough to win. They'd beaten San Jose the week prior, and they looked poised to repeat the feat, clutching a 1-0 lead heading into the final minute.
Then everything fell apart. At 18:55 of the third, Tomas Hertl sent the game… Hertling into overtime. There, the Sharks scored again, and suddenly, the 1-0 win the Canucks had earned was a 2-1 loss. A heart-breaking twist. You couldn't have written it better.
The next game, an angry Canucks team stormed out demanding a victory versus the Dallas Stars, and outplayed Dallas from beginning to end, outshooting them 43 to 23. But they couldn't score. In a reversal of the previous outing's fortunes, the Canucks found themselves trailing 1-0 heading into the third, and with the devastating Sharks' loss fresh in our minds, all we could think of was how the Canucks might soon pay it forward, transmitting the weeping to Dallas fans like some sort of facial infection.
Nope. Two minutes into the final frame, the Stars scored the insurance goal. Yet another unexpected turn. The Canucks lost again, and by the same 2-1 score. Dramatic consistency!
Then Tim Thomas and the Panthers visited, bringing with them a shot at redemption. The Panthers are terrible, after all, and the way the Canucks had been playing, results aside, this looked to be the cure for what ailed them.
Nope. They flipped the script again, playing down to the Panthers and forcing us to relive a scenario where the Canucks take a lead, but can't beat Thomas to put it away. Then Thomas's team storms back to tie things up and force a final, deciding moment, and then, in that moment, he shuts the door, and when Roberto Luongo can't do the same, he skates away a winner.
That's right: after two devastating losses, the Canucks treated us to a microcosm of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final. Just what we needed. What climax.
Suffice it to say, that sort of emotional gut-punch calls for a brief, light reprieve. Fortunately, the Columbus Blue Jackets were willing to play jester, surrendering 6 goals in a blowout. Comic relief!
But that game also served to raise our hopes so that there was something for the Chicago Blackhawks to dash the following night. Once again, the Canucks outplayed their opponent, and once again they lost in dramatic fashion, as their one-goal third-period lead turned into a deficit in a span of 9 seconds. Suddenly, what had the look of Vancouver's first consecutive wins in the month was a back-breaking loss to the team's archnemesis.
Finally, the Kings came to town for the grand finale, and it was everything one could have hoped for in a final, devastating act. Again, a visibly desperate Canucks visibly outplayed one of the league's best teams, taking the lead and coming within shouting distance of the win.
Then, beyond seemingly all reason, it happened again. The Canucks completed a circle that began against San Jose, surrendering the game-tying goal achingly late in the affair and the game-winning goal in overtime. It was a homestand that ended exactly the way it began — a loss that was brilliantly foreshadowed.
As a fan, I'm flabbergasted at this homestand. But as a fan of theatre? Wow. It was tragic. It was comic. I laughed, I cried. I am spent.
Well done, Canucks. Well done.
This feature takes a moment to recognize the best tweets of the week, because we're online-type writers and Twitter is an online-type thing. If you see a great Canucks-related tweet, send us a link. Or plagiarize it and bask in its glory.

Canucks fans have a negative comment buffer that builds up while they play well, so we're always ready to let 15 fly when they play bad

Don Cherry looks like a Ferrero Rocher. #earlyholidaythoughts

Don Cherry's gold foil suit jacket was one of his more sane outfits, actually.
trolls mystify me. are their lives really so empty that they can find nothing better than to pointlessly add negativity to the world at every opportunity? do they troll all of fandom spreading sniping passive-aggressive footnotes to their hollow existences? or do they reserve their vitriol for specific fanbases, that have somehow offended their sense of propriety at some unspecified point in the past?
answers on a postcard, please. and no crayon allowed.
Are Canucks fans lives so empty that they cannot enjoy some fun banter at the expense of their favorite team losing when playing well and they all collectively ask "why me"? Maybe Canucks fans should put their lives in perspective a little bit and realize that it's all good fun. If it isn't, you take hockey a little bit too seriously.
One of my favorite pastimes is driving after a Canucks loss to listen to the "fans" call in with their hilarious solutions to the team's woes.
With respect to this version of the team… here's a hint… they aren't that good. After the twins, they are a team of plumbers playing checkers while the rest of the league is either playing chess or knocking over the board and punching them in the mouth. Too bad Gillis was left with an empty cupboard when he took over the job… when he leaves, what's the next guy going to say… "at least GMMG had a cupboard… I have nothing" – LOL
chill out, people. and if you want the trolls to go away, then ignore them. personally natural mystic and mb13 provide the odd laugh and even and insight once in a while. there are others whose names need not be mentioned that i just skip by because they've nothing of consequence to say. pure vitriol has no place in the world but for goodness sake, as i said, chill.
I think this comment is quite amusing considering two comments above, Harrison states he has "seen no one defend *my* work here but *me*".
Harrison – talk about head in the sand.
If you guys want this to be a "get along gang" where every poster sings the praises of a team that is 5 points out of a playoff spot chasing teams with games in hand… then just say it at the top of your comments section. Keep enjoying "shoes" comments where he only sees the silver lining of a team that can't score and has a hard time winning.
On a sidenote, I just realized why the Canucks fans are so whiny… they take their cue from the lead color commentator on their broadcasts. You can't watch 2 mins of a Canucks game without Garret crying about the refs missing a call. But hey – par for the course. The GM whines, the players on the team whine, the commentator whines and the fans whine. And everyone wonders why this team is annoying. *rolls eyes*
Don't let them bug you mb13….I feel strongly that you and naturalmystic are a fine couple. You might be a fine couple of trolls, but you make a "striking twosome"
And your comments, well those are just plain beautiful, not insightful or smart but beautiful…..please tell me you are Oilers and Flames fans.. LOL Or maybe Leafs, nation.
Or are you going to tell me that your "secret" team is on pace for 82-0, ……again!
See, though, here's the thing: you're not fun.
Fun would be the way Fear the Fin bashed the 'Nucks (with the 'Nucks really acting as stand-ins for the Sharks).
Fun would be the shot from the Oil's twitter feed at VAN's twitter feed the other week, with a shot of Thomas holding the Cup (I think PITB did a summay of the exchange; look it up).
But all you (and NM) have given us so far is the troll's equivalent of "we gave it 110%" or "we're taking it one game at a time". Bad math I can understand; if an Oiler fan's math is bad enough, he can turn even his team into a playoff contender. (See what I did there?) I mean seriously: rhyming nickname? Check. Mocking the fans for not enjoying losing? Check. Air of superiority despite cheering for a team with a worse record? Check.
At least work some groaner-worthy word-play into your posts ("Edler's post-hockey career as a baker shows real promise, based on the turnovers he made tonight"; "Chicago sure went into FeastModo over Vancouver's first line tonight"). Show some kind of creativity. Some kind of edge.
'Cause really, right now, you're not provocative, and you're not edgy, and you're certainly not fun.
You're boring.
All this and no T1040.
Natural Mystic, mb13 – this is a site intended for North Koreans only.
PB, Shoes, Harry and so many more are card-carrying party members.
And now for a song from the past:
"Canucks, we love you…we really really love you…yes we dooooooooooooo….
We're with you, we're with you, were really really with you…yes we aaaare…"
Let's all snuggle up to our life-sized Mike Gillis pillows.
Great piece Harrison! One of the other interesting features of this tragic homestand is the critics it has magically brought forth on this very blog. I should like to find their favourite blogs and post disparaging comments on them after every post. What fun!
An acquaintance of mine is of the opinion that the Canucks are ill-fated because of the poor feng shui at Rogers Arena. I had little time for such superstitions.
But now I'm not so sure.
Perhaps the hockey and feng shui gods are buddies. Perhaps they are collectively offended by the slight of the (admittedly ugly) viaducts. Perhaps Canucks fans should throw their full support behind city proposals to pull them down and replace them with something more attractive.
In the meantime, maybe the Aquilinis should consider sacrificing a goat or two to appease these disgruntled gods.
One of the more disappointing home stands that I've seen in quite a while. You have to think that the run of bad luck will end at some point but it is getting frustrating.
As for the tendencies of trolls (cambo, natural mystic, mb13), it is slightly amusing but mostly sad. I can't stand the Leafs, Bruins or Blackhawks but can't see the point of wasting my time reading their blogs and posting on them. Must be as exciting as being a commenter on Yahoo or a local newspaper's blog…
What's funny is the fact that some of the trolls are Oilers, Flames or Sharks fans, or supporters of equally terrible teams. At least the Blackhawks and Bruins are good and have won something. It's really hard to take seriously fans of a team that has been even more of a tease-and-flop than the Canucks (SJ) and so consistently awful as the Flames or Oilers. Ah well, there's always next year, isn't there, when the rebuild in Calgary will start, when Thornton and Marleau will come through, when that stable of #1 overall picks will turn into a contender in Edmonton.
I am of the opinion, that if you break each one of the games down……they were just plain bad luck. It would not have came to that had the PP been better than 3%. Say 23% like it should be. That would have changed 3-4 L's to W's. and made a 4 or 5-1-1
It does happen, and Chicago in the height of their glory went 13 in a row without a win in 2011. I also remember the Wings in '09 going a long stretch of not being able to win.
Here's hoping shoes above here is right and that there was indeed just a lot of "plain bad luck" involved in the 5 L's in this last home stand. But I'm getting more legitimately concerned every game with thinking that there is a lot of actual underlying validity to what has essentially been beaten' to death by us armchair types as the cause of the teams' problems since that win vs Boston in January of '12: the Canucks' lack of goal scoring ability.
Scoring the puck is the basic premise of hockey. And it's just not gone well for Van for so long now that you have to wonder about this teams basic ability to put the puck in the net. I know it sounds silly, but…
This years' atrocious power play along with, lets face it, the teams' terrible performances in shootouts has to make you wonder if these guys, collectively, might indeed just be a very bad bunch of shooters. You can skate, check, forcheck, block shots, goaltend, pass, and slap a million pucks on net,, but at the end of the day, it's about actually getting that puck into the net, and for whatever reason, these guys aren't doing it very often.
But man here's hoping it's just bad luck…
I can't help but think about all the games over the last three seasons the Canucks won in OT, or just barely won, against lousy teams who outplayed us statistically. We'd see the postgame interviews with quotes like "we were lucky" and "we have to play better but we are happy with the two points"
I think the NHL is in actual fact a different beast now. With the new divisions, the Canucks have to play a different game. More physical, more consistent. We need to roll dependable third and yes, fourth lines so the first two lines can gel and rack points up. Less turnovers in more games against elite teams that, even down two periods, can still pull out a win in a single period like we used to do against generally weaker talent.
The Canucks are in the new NHL, and they have to up their game. We might need more talent, and we might just need a whole new fourth line, or something. But the bewilderment at statistics has to stop. There is a new statistic, and it is teams that find the will to win no matter what the cost.

Marleen A. O'Connor
Professor of Law
B.S., DePaul University
J.D., Duke University
Marleen O'Connor's scholarship has focused on the broad topic of "employees and corporate governance" for the last 20 years. In 1988, she began this research by arguing that directors should owe fiduciary duties to workers as well as shareholders. At this time, Professor O'Connor asserted that corporations were breaking long-term implicit employment agreements with many workers through plant closings. She maintained that these long-term employees were hired at a time when corporations made implicit promises of employment and that directors' should owe a fiduciary duty to workers for adequate severance payments and job retraining. Professor O'Connor expanded on this notion of a fiduciary duty to workers by developing a new model of corporate governance, she calls the "neutral referee" model. Investigating the German system of codetermination and the Japanese model of corporate governance, Professor O'Connor detailed how directors would balance the competing interests of shareholders and employees. Under this system, courts would not apply the business judgment rule; they would use substantive review to determine that actions are fair to workers. Professor O'Connor has written why fiduciary law, rather than contract and tort law, would work best to embody the moral obligations corporations should owe to long-term workers.
By the late 1990s, it became increasingly difficult to argue for this new fiduciary duty because the "shareholder value" mantra had firmly swept across corporate America as top executives were given stock options to ensure they narrowly focused on only shareholder interests. Since employees often own stock as shareholders, Professor O'Connor turned to see how union pension funds were using their shareholder rights to make gains for employees. Staying within the shareholder value paradigm, she also considered how corporations should make financial disclosure about their human resource values in our knowledge-based economy.
In 2001, Professor O'Connor began to look at the interests of women workers. First, she analyzed the notion of our "future human capital," that is, our children. She explored the literature concerning work/family balance and found that many corporate governance tools could be used to promote better family leave policies. Second, Professor O'Connor also probed why it is important to have more women directors on corporate boards.
Professor O'Connor's current research agenda will study the broad topic of "corporate social responsibility for food," and food democracy. Although childhood obesity has been recognized as a national problem for 30 years, corporate governance tools have not been widely used. Within the shareholder model of corporate governance, different shareholder proposals and disclosure guidelines could be part of our First Lady's plan to end childhood obesity in a generation. Professor O'Connor's goal is to make child obesity experts aware of these corporate governance tools and corporate social advocates aware of the need to address the child obesity problem. Given new research about food addictions to fat, sugar, and salt and our growing awareness of our "toxic food environment," Professor O'Connor believes that there will many new laws regarding food; she believes that the corporate social responsibility movement will have a large role in shaping these new laws.

- Summer Life in Whitley County
A strong turnout by Whitley County voters put Republican candidates into nearly every office up for election Tuesday.
With the exception of four Democrats who hold positions on township advisory boards, every other seat went to the GOP. Even the Democrats who were elected were uncontested, as in Kevin Bollinger as Washington Township trustee, and the advisory board for Jefferson Township. The lone Republican running for Washington Township's advisory board had the most votes of the four candidates for the three-person board.
The county saw more than half of its 21,357 registered voters cast ballots in the election, a higher turnout than in previous years, according to election officials.
Those who were working the polls reported heavy turnout.
Tommy Jo Shupe, who was a precinct worker at Richland South, said there were still 14 voters in line at poll closing time. The precinct saw nearly 56 percent turnout.
Several precincts neared 60 percent voter turnout with Columbia Northeast reporting the best turnout of the day at 59.95 percent. Perhaps driven by a school tax referendum Cleveland South had a 58.86 percent turnout. Jefferson East saw a 58.5 percent turnout, Columbia 7 reported 57.99 percent, Jefferson West had a 57.56 turnout and Thorncreek North saw a 57.27 turnout.
Sheila Schilling and Sandy Rumsyre, who have worked a poll in Washington Township for more than 20 years, said that Tuesday's election was one of the busiest they've ever seen. Schillling thought perhaps a contested school board race and Congressional races were the two biggest reasons voters turned out.
Only two precincts had less than 40 percent voter turnout — Columbia 5 at 37.15 and Columbia 2 at 39.33.
Two other items of note from Tuesday's election, there were 1,766 straight party tickets cast for Republicans, and absentee voter turnout stood at 1,502.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 7 Twist: Who Killed [SPOILER]?
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 7: "The Doctor." Turn back now if you haven't seen it and wish to remain spoiler free.
The drama ramped up in Storybrooke on Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 7: "Child of the Moon," when the tragic murder of Billy the mechanic whipped the town into a frenzy, and Ruby/Red (Meghan Ory) became suspect numero uno thanks to her wolfish past and Albert Spencer/King George's (Alan Dale) machinations. But did she really do the deed?
No, of course not! As David Nolan/Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) discovered, Albert Spencer/King George (Alan Dale) set Ruby up to take the fall, even hiding Red's hood so she would be forced to transform. Then he killed Billy, knowing Charming would defend Ruby. The whole thing was aimed at making Charming appear like an incompetent Sheriff.
Fortunately, Charming is not incompetent, so he figured it all out in time to save Ruby from the crowd. Unfortunately, King George got the last laugh when he burned the magic hat that would allow Charming to get his family back from Fairytale Land. Uh-oh.
Catch the next new episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, November 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

A proposed initiative that would allow businesses the opportunity to operate tax-free on a State University of New York campus for 10 years is "a bold, historic opportunity," said Amy Pauley, executive director of the Finger Lakes Community College Foundation.
"Tax-Free NY is about innovation," she said Friday during a presentation at Finger Lakes Community College on Tax-Free NY, an initiative announced last month by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which is pending approval by the state Legislature.
Under the Tax-Free NY proposal, SUNY campuses outside of New York City and designated private colleges would be tax-free — including sales, property, business and corporate taxes. Up to 200,000 square feet surrounding campuses would be included in the tax-free community. The initiative also includes income tax exemptions for employees of businesses that open in tax-free communities.
"Big problems call for big solutions," said Dierdre Scozzafava, New York deputy secretary of state for local government, during the presentation. "We want to change the perception of New York being a high-tax state."
Eligible businesses would include those that have a relationship to the academic mission of the university and those that would create new jobs. They could include new businesses, out-of-state businesses that relocate to New York and existing businesses that expand their New York operations.
A goal of Tax-Free NY is to keep businesses from leaving the state, Scozzafava said, adding that 93 percent of New Yorkers live within 15 miles of a SUNY campus.
"Jobs are important for many reasons," Scozzafava said. "They are important for healthy communities. They are important for fiscally healthy communities. They are important for individuals."
She said that each college would decide if it wanted to participate.
Businesses would have to approach the college with ideas, Pauley said, and a decision would be made based on "academic fit." She added that if the college decided to move forward with a plan, it would work closely with the business and the municipalities involved.
Alison Grems, president and CEO of the Canandaigua Chamber of Commerce, said she supports the initiative, but needs more details about how it might be implemented locally.

Question: If a massive nuclear war broke out where would be the safest place to go?
Asked by tomg44 to Charlie, Eoin, Jemma, Julian, Steve on 21 Mar 2011.
Keywords: apocalypse, end of the world, nuclear, safe, war
0Short link http://ias.im/30.1200 | Comment on this question
To the White House or Houses of Parliament. Aren't they supposed to have some super cool bunker under them to protect all the politicians, who are obviously the people we would want to keep alive in the event of a nuclear war?
Hi Tomg44
In a massive nuclear war there would be probably be no safe place. You could hide underground for a while to escape the explosions and radiation, but when you eventually had to emerge you'd probably find a lifeless planet that was virtually uninhabitable.
Hi tomg44,
Maybe the best place to be would be into space?? But I suppose you couldn't stay there for very long.
Thankfully, a nuclear war is unlikely to happen so I think we'll be safe enough where we are!
hi tom again! I don't know really, maybe a deep hole in the ground!! I live in london so i guess i'd try to get into the tube tunnels, that might be pretty safe!
I think underground is the safest place if the Hollywood disaster movies are anything to go by. Either that or a nuclear fallout shelter made of something like lead through which the radiation cannot penetrate…

Amazing the time sink that youtube can become, I love browsing videos to check out the latest movie trailers, funny skits, tutorials or video reviews. All of these I consider to be distractions, but not wasteful ones.
Do you love to watch re-cut trailers? If you are wondering what re-cut trailers are, then, continue to read this article. These are quite popular, and you might have seen them. These re-cut trailers are also known as the retailers and these act as parody trailers for a movie. These are created by editing the complete footage from the movie. Sometimes, these are also mashed up from the original trailers. They make people laugh by doing a misrepresentation of the original movie. For example, a movie having a murderous plot will be made to look like a comedy movie.
Trailers are the most interesting part before the launching of a movie. The main aim of a trailer is to pique the interest pique of the audience.

Why does the taxpayers in the United States have to pay for development of solar, if there is a need ( guess this is because obama killed the Keystone pipe line) why doesn't the private companies develop solar, they would make millions.
James C.Davis
Breitbart Reports 4-5-12 that Reuters reported 4-2-12
World's Largest Solar Power Plant Goes Bankrupt
On Monday 4-2-12 (Almost an April Fool Joke), yet another Department of Energy funded solar energy company –the world's largest solar power plant—filed for bankruptcy. Reuters reports:
The Oakland-based company has held rights for the 1,000-megawatt Blythe Solar Power Project in the Southern California desert, which last April won $2.1 billion of conditional loan guarantees from the U.S. Department of Energy. It is unclear how the bankruptcy will affect that project
In addition to the offer of financial benefits this politically tied company received, Solar Trust also received regulatory benefits. The Bylthe Solar Power Project is located on federal land. While the Obama administration is decreasing development of proven energy sources like oil on federal lands, they actually fast tracked this project's permitting process:

Lions captain Danny Shittu headed the only goal to sink Blackburn 1-0 in a quarter-final replay at Ewood Park and book a Wembley date against Wigan next month - a rematch of the 1999 Football League Trophy final at the old national stadium that the Latics won 1-0.
Eight seasons in the Premier League mean such humble competitions are a thing of the past for the DW Stadium outfit, and Gallen believes that time at the top table gives them a clear advantage.
"They're a Premier League team and they're the favourites," he said.
"They'll have spent a lot more money on their team than we do on our team.
"We go there as underdogs but - like in any game of football - you don't just go there for a day out, you don't go there just to make the numbers up.
"When we get round to the Wigan game we'll put together a plan and see if we can go and perform well and see what we can do.
The Lions are currently in 17th position in the Championship - five points above the relegation zone, but Gallen won't let talk of a possible European adventure distract his side.
"There's been noting said about that, not from the staff," he added.
"The players talk about whatever they talk about and we don't get to hear that.
"If you look where we are in the league, right now, even though we're getting to the semi-final of an FA Cup, the focus is straight away Charlton on Saturday.
"It's a London derby and we've usually performed well in London derbies in the last five and a half years."
Blackburn also have work to do to a avoid a second consecutive relegation as they lie and point and a place better off than Millwall having played a game more.

Thank god for broke ass boys and huge college expenses. Their hard times bring us hard cocks. We hand out the cash and you enjoy the action.
Chris brought Reaper with him because Reaper needs to move. He is a skater and it seems no one likes him. Reaper is nineteen and Chris is twenty. Chris has tuition due again and he needs cash. I found out that Reaper is straight and Chris of course is gay. Reaper seems to be pretty open-minded; his last sexual experience was with a girl that included bondage and even some golden showers. He states that was getting pussy and he went along with it so he could get that pussy. I told him that since he is so open minded then perhaps this might be a good chance to try something new. He did mention that has fooled around a bit with other guys when he was drinking. He has blown a guy and gotten blown.

I've had the pleasure to help a lot of literary campaigns. I've been writing since I could hold a pencil, and how I loved to read the moment I discovered books.
I also love to eat. Doesn't everyone? So when I was asked to help benefit a vital lifelong literacy campaign in the Pacific Northwest, with a very novel (pun intended) program called Literary Feast, I immediately agreed.
Yes, there are thousands of children, and families, who lack the educational resources to read, succeed in school, operate a computer, or find a better job.
Well, we all need to eat and read. Elliot Wolf from Classic Day Publishing came up with a very unique and fun way for the King County Library System Foundation to support its innovative literacy and learning progams — Literary Feast: The Famous Authors Cookbook.
It's a fascinating book of favorite recipes by your favorite authors ranging from Christmas Cream Puffs to Chicken Amondrata to Dan Greenberg's canned ravioli. It is available through The King County Library System Foundation web site at www.KCLS.org/foundation or order directly at www.thriftbooks.com.
Since my comic strip features Rotunda, the President of Weight Wishers, we put together a little something different. Here is an excerpt from Literary Feast: The Famous Author's Cookbook.

When Vivian Greene asserts everything in life is a gift, it's not out of naiveté. The creator of Kisses™, a popular syndicated comic strip and books, has maintained an appreciative spirit while moving through a great deal of loss in her life. She lost long-time love Toby Stone to cancer. She lost 18 years' worth of work when Hurricane Andrew hit her Florida headquarters. And, she lost virtually all of her remaining possessions in shipping them to Hawaii. Her response? "I'm infinitely resilient. I have so much love in my life. Unconditional love is all that really matters."
Not that it has been easy. She has a blessing to show for each loss. Greene, who launched her cartoon character Kisses™ in 1971, used what she learned from Stone's life and death to write Good Mourning, a book on grieving, followed recently with Mourning Glory.
When Hurricane Andrew wiped out the business that had put her into the millionaire ranks at age 26, she saw it as an opportunity to head in another direction. "I said, 'I'm just going to go to Hawaii to do this.' " And the personal property loss has given her new insight into the generosity of others around her.
"The kindness I receive is absolutely priceless," acknowledges Greene. "What I've really learned is nobody can take away what's really mine. My favorite recipe, like Rotunda's, is sharing the laughter and love and the theme of Kisses™, who's eyes are covered because 'All that is real is seen with the heart.' "
"My favorite recipe is a recipe for success. It all began with cookies. Rotunda, the main character in my Kisses™ cards and comic strip loves cookies. She is the President of Weight Wishers, and has a secret to dieting worthy of Oprah's highest award. Even if all Rotunda's diets don't work, she looks the same after 30 years." ~Vivian Greene
Rotunda's Philosophy is if you eat something you really, really love, you get so excited you burn up all the calories.
Rotunda put her photo on the refrigerator door as a Diet Reminder. And every time she opened the refrigerator she smiled, even if she didn't diet – because she looked so happy in the picture.
"You are what you eat, " her brother warned her.
"Oh," blushed Rotunda, "You mean I'm your little cookie?"

Forever After Nothing CD
A18 has taken everything that made late 1980s hardcore special and added new depth to it. Each song is a testament to a life long struggle of personal growth and self-acceptance. Always focusing their own trials and tribulations to on creating a positive outlet for their pain, the message of A18 is not to wallow, but to face your problems head on and never give in to obstacles. Within any movement, a goal must be set and only through steadfast conviction, can it be attained. A18's message is not new, but their approach will breath life into a cause thought dead. Five individuals bound together to collectively strive towards their vision of a substance free world. A18's means is particularly refreshing in this musical climate, so noticeably void of any message or commitment. The stage has been set for a new generation to rise up against the ambivalence that has invaded the underground.

25 Years Old, Bottled in Bond
WUTK celebrates 25 years (plus a little more) on the air with a landmark compilation CD
Twice as Strong
WUTK 90.3 FM has been on the air a little more than 25 years. General director Benny Smith wanted to do something special to celebrate the station's quarter-century anniversary in 2007, but it took a little longer than he anticipated. It's coming soon, though: the local compilation CD Re-Distilled, which features 17 covers of local songs from the last two and a half decades by some of the city's biggest contemporary acts as well as a few old-timers, will be released on April 15.
The bands and performers covered on Re-Distilled range from the obscure (Roger Smith, whose "This World Is Run by Weasels" is sung by R.B. Morris) to the wildly popular (the V-Roys' "Goodnight Loser," recorded by Angel and the Love Mongers, and Superdrag's "In the Valley of Dying Stars," by Stewart Pack). Some of the pioneers of Knoxville's music scene—Teenage Love, Balboa, Sea 7 States, Smokin' Dave and the Premo Dopes—are featured, as are bands from the heady days of the 1990s (Taoist Cowboys, 1-900s, the Judybats, 30 Amp Fuse, Dim Kitchen). Morris, Superdrag, Todd Steed, former V-Roys Mic Harrison and Scott Miller, Tim Lee, and former Judybats frontman Jeff Heiskell appear on both sides, with new performances and songs of their own covered by new bands.
Re-Distilled will serve as a fund-raiser for the station, which receives no financial support from the university. Smith urges fans not to burn copies of the compilation, since proceeds go to WUTK.
"It's a way to put something in people's hands for the money they put in our gift fund," Smith says. "This is what they call in public radio a premium. It's a document of a lot of history and what's been on the air for a lot of those years. But the number one objective is to raise money for the station. It's been a tough semester for us."
WUTK is also planning an all-ages benefit concert at the Valarium, with as many of the artists from the disc as possible, on June 27. (Matthew Everett)
Art Briefs
A soft-spoken woman crouching behind a desk—maybe with a potted plant, maybe without—quietly punching away at her computer keyboard for a few hours over three consecutive nights. That, if you'll bear with us for an explanation, is going to be one of the more interesting events going on this weekend, a First Friday weekend no less.
The woman, Chicago-based arts critic Lori Waxman. will be offering her services up to Knoxville artists seeking reviews of their work, beginning Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Art Gallery of Knoxville and continuing at the Birdhouse on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. and A1 Lab Art on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
In a program called the 60 Wrd/min Art Critic, Waxman, a freelance writer for such erudite, internationally-read and non-Knoxville-based publications as ArtForum, Parachute, and Modern Painter, takes artists' submissions—live and in person only—and gives herself 20 minutes to look them over and write out a succinct, but serious, review. 60 Wrd/min started in 2005. Waxman had already been reviewing art for the better part of a decade—first at F News Magazine, the student-run magazine at the Art Institute of Chicago, and then professionally.
"When you do something for so long, you eventually become sort of self-critical as you get better and better at it," Waxman says. "You start trying to make it more difficult. You start asking, 'What is the purpose of this? Why do I do this? What good does this do? What bad does this do? What are its limitations?'"
One of the limitations of criticism, she realized, is the relative anonymity, and thus the safety, afforded the critic. In practicing his or her craft, the reviewer, as opposed to the artist being reviewed, doesn't risk a whole lot. In her introductory statement, Waxman says the short art review is many things: "at once a challenge, an insult, a record and a piece of advertising." And in responding to it, the 60 Wrd/min Art Critic is a mixture of serious criticism and consciously self-parodying performance art.
"The project sort of evolved as an experimental way for me to turn the tables on myself as a critic," Waxman says. "It exposes me to the type of critique that artists expose themselves to, but it also turns the tables because I don't get to pick what I review."
It's a shift in the power dynamic, she says, from critic to artist. Artists can filter out everything but their best work, and, hopefully, come out with a good review from a well-known critic, which can be essential in getting exhibitions. "Reviews are legitimizing," Waxman says.
Having never performed anything before, she says that when she first did the show, she "kind of freaked out."
"I felt like, 'Oh, my God, I'm being completely exposed here and what if I've offended these people? They're right here,'" she says.
Waxman, a doctoral candidate at New York University's Institute for Fine Arts, has performed the 60 Wrd/min Art Critic at the DUMBO Art Festival and the P.S. 1 performance space in New York and has had excerpts published in The Believer magazine. It was during a performance last year at the Mess Hall in Chicago that Art Gallery of Knoxville director Chris Molinsky caught on to the project and began lobbying Waxman for a Knoxville appearance. Molinsky says he sees the performance as a way to galvanize the arts community in Knoxville.
"This sort of thing helps motivate action downtown," Molinsky says. "That was the real motivation to get Lori to do this."
For Waxman's part, she says she has no idea what to expect from the city's artists. She expects to see a wide range, though. She and Molinsky have already fielded dozens of calls for appointments.
"I have to admit, I've never even been in the state of Tennessee," she says. "But that's part of the fun, isn't it?"
Waxman and Molinsky are no longer accepting appointments for the 60 Wrd/min art critic, but walk-ins are allowed. Waxman reviews work in all media, including time-based art like video and live performance pieces, provided they fit into the 20 minutes alloted. Artwork that requires Internet access will not be considered for review. (Charles Maldonado)

Yarmouth Office | Camden Office | Salem Office | Newport Office | Stonington Office
Jon Knowles, CPYB
Jon grew up sailing out of the local boatyard and the Portland Yacht Club in Falmouth, Maine. Any chance to get on the water was always an opportunity taken. Racing with boatyard customers, delivering boats, cruising the Maine coast; all were part of summers growing up.
After graduating from the University of Maine with a Marketing/Management degree Jon ran a ferry in Portland, Maine before setting sail for the Caribbean on a 35' sailboat with college friends. He was the mate aboard a 72' Herreshoff built in 1913 in the charter trade sailing the Virgin Islands. In 1977 he sailed to Norway aboard Schaefer Marine's 55' test vessel for a seven month circumnavigation of the North Atlantic.
Jon returned home to work for a local oil company but soon became the yacht sales manager for Handy Boat in Falmouth. In 1986 he opened East Coast Yacht Sales as a new boat dealership and brokerage operation. Jon has sold hundreds of new and used power and sailboats from 24' to 100' over the last 35 years. He has been an active member of the Portland Yacht Club for over 30 years, Commodore of the club in the early 90's along with being an early active member of the Yacht Architects and Brokers Association.
Jon has raced to Bermuda on various boats including skippering his own in 2008, raced to Halifax with customers and raced doubled handed in the last two Halifax Regatta's. His highlight in racing was crewing aboard a 55' Tripp design with his son onboard for the 2001 Jubilee Regatta in Cowes, England for the 150th anniversary of the America's Cup. He has also stopped to enjoy his family'; sailing on two offshore adventures sailing from Maine to Trinidad in 1996; and from Maine to Labrador, circumnavigating Newfoundland in 2000.
Today he spends his time selling, managing four offices, being on the water whenever possible and dreaming of future adventures aboard Abracadabra. When he is not sailing he enjoys skiing, biking, rowing and working in his shop.
Spencer Drake
Spencer's lifelong love of boating began as an eight year old sailing student at the Harraseeket Yacht Club in South Freeport, Maine. Throughout his youth, he honed his sailing skills to become an accomplished racer, sailing instructor and director of the program. Summers teaching sailing and working at boatyards gave him a solid foundation throughout his college years. Spencer has competed in many one design and J-24 regattas, locally and nationally, PHRF, as well as many offshore racing events to Nova Scotia and Bermuda.
Following college he began a career in technical sales, customer support and training in the survey, engineering & GPS equipment markets. After developing new territory, educating customers on equipment and capabilities he decided to persue a business on his own where he owned and operated a specialty hardwood & millwork business servicing boat builders, furniture makers, cabinet shops and high end construction firms. This eventually led to the sale of that business which now lives on under new ownership.
A current active member and past Commodore of Harraseeket Yacht Club, Spencer currently races and cruises his J-105 out of South Freeport, Maine with his wife and children and is an avid skier and hobbyist woodworker. He looks forward to sharing his love of boating and knowledge with clients.
Bill Full, CPYB
Bill Full has been a broker with East Coast Yacht Sales since 1998, but his career in the marine industry spans four decades.
Raised around boats in Marblehead, MA, Bill was exposed to a wide range of both power and sailing yachts of the time. His father, well known marine surveyor, Giffy Full, made sure that Bill had experience on the water and in the industry from a young age. At 13, Bill had his first job on the waterfront helping an older gentleman sail his yacht. This led to jobs taking care of larger yachts in the area, working as Mate on the family passenger boats, doing a few shorter delivery jobs and a bit of commercial fishing.
After graduating from Maine Maritime Academy in 1976, Bill went on to work in the Merchant Marines for over 22 years including 13 years as Captain of some of the largest US Flag tankers ever built. Bill continues to hold an Unlimited Master Mariner's License (Any Vessel, Any Ocean) and has several first class harbor pilotage endorsements and other professional credentials.
In between shipping assignments, Bill and his family could always be found cruising the various sail and power boats they or his parents owned. These days, when not assisting clients, Bill can be found racing or day sailing on his J/105 Persistence.
As a broker, Bill has handled the sale of a wide range of yachts and has been involved in custom new build programs. He has contributed to the marine industry by serving on the Board of the Yacht Brokers Association of America as well as being a Past President of the organization. He currently serves on the Certification Advisory Council for the Certified Professional Yacht Broker program.
"I am passionate about boats and look forward to working with you!"

Marion Leiter
Marion Sanders Leiter grew up in Yarmouth, Maine and learned how to sail in turnabouts and lightnings at the Portland Yacht Club. She spent every summer on the Maine waters either sailing, powering or rowing. Attending Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, she sailed the midcoast area of Maine and decided the ocean was where she always wanted to be. Marion first started working around boats at a local boat yard in Portland in the early 90's and working in the office for 9 years assisting with boat shows, flower shows along with the boat yard. She started at ECYS in 2000 and enjoys meeting people, and working with the buyers, sellers and brokers. Marion is a member at Harraseeket Yacht Club and enjoys her time with her husband and 3 chocolate Labradors.
Linda Iverson
What a fun way to spend my Saturdays! Since joining ECYS as a marketing assistant in October, 2007 my Saturday fun job has become much more than this – I have joined a family of professionals who adore sailing, the water and selling boats – quite an extraordinary perk for me! A Wisconsin native, I spent a year abroad in Australia as a senior in high school and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison four years later. I began my professional life as a legal secretary/assistant and paralegal and worked for law firms in Wisconsin, Rhode Island and Maine. As a graduate of a Big Ten school in the field of English/Secondary Education, it did take me quite a while to actually consider going into the field of teaching, but this I did in 1995. Having taught in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, I moved to Maine in 2002 with my family and began teaching at Lewiston High School in Lewiston, Maine a year later. I currently teach Grade 12 students in this very diverse community where my focus is the teaching of writing. When I am not gazing upon the gorgeous boats in our ECYS showroom, teaching at LHS, swimming laps or rowing my ergometer, I can be found in Brunswick, Maine where I live with my daughter.
Laura Peterson
Laura has been with East Coast Yacht Sales from day one, working as Jon's assistant for 30 years. In June of 1981 Laura answered an ad for a "yacht broker's secretary" and the rest as we say is history.
As a young girl Laura spent summers between Cape Cod and Cross Lake, Maine with family. Her boating experience growing up was on lakes on small powerboats. She never set foot on a sailboat until she was 16 years old. That summer she cruised from Camden with a group of teenagers aboard The Adventure captained by Jim Sharp. As a result of that experience she realized her love and respect for the ocean. Laura lives in Brunswick, Maine with her dog, Luna (who is the official ECYS office dog), and cat, Tallulah.
Scott Woodruff, CPYB
Making his passion his career has been at the root of Scott's ethos. Growing up in a sailing family, Scott was on yachts from an early age cruising the Block Island Sound as well as the Maine Coast. Upon entering college he started racing and was introduced to dinghy sailing where he learned to hone his skills. After college Scott joined the Living Classroom Foundation in Baltimore originally as a volunteer and then as an employee where he taught sailing to inner city youth, assisted with their boat building program and met his wife of 15 years, Alex.
Returning to Maine in 1998 Scott started his professional career in the yachting industry by taking a job with Sun Yacht Charters in Camden, Maine as a Charter Sales Agent. From Camden, Maine Scott worked his way up through the ranks as he moved to Portland, Maine as the Crewed Yacht Supervisor for Stardust Yacht Charters, on to Tortola for 7 Years as the Caribbean Yacht Sales Manager for Sunsail Yacht Charters, then moving to Ft Lauderdale, Florida to take on the position of Global Sales Manager for Leopard Catamarans for 7 years.
Working his way through the industry, Scott has an in depth knowledge of the marine industry. Having represented and worked with many of the industry leading manufacturers, traveling globally to work with factories on build projects, and working with many of the industry's leading designers, Scott has developed and propagated an in depth knowledge and contact base in the industry.
Taking this full circle, as of November 1, 2014 Scott returned to Camden, Maine to join East Coast Yacht Sales as a Yacht Broker. The opportunity to return back to Maine and work with a company that has a world class product line, industry respected reputation and a customer first approach to business, was an opportunity that Scott could not pass up.
Barb Ohland
After crewing on the Swan 57 "Fandango" in 1979-80, Barb worked as a secretary at Sparkman & Stephens in New York for Mitch Neff and Robert Garland. After a decade as Crewed Charter Broker for Bartram & Brakenhoff, Sun Yacht Yachts, and her own company "Yachtsource" Barb took a break to start a family.
She lives in Camden with her husband Geof, son and daughter and makes sure the Camden office runs smoothly.
Allen Schiller, CPYB
Allen Schiller began sailing small boats as a youngster on Cape Cod. Over the years, he's participated in most major ocean racing events on the east coast, including six Bermuda races, five SORCs, several Marblehead/Halifax and Annapolis/Newport races. A Massachusetts native, Allen grew up in Belmont, MA and has lived in Marblehead for 30 years. Following graduation from Bucknell University, he began a career in manufacturing plant operations, product development, and customer service. But it wasn't long before his avocation of sailboat racing lead him to a career as a yacht broker.
Of increasing importance and enjoyment is Allen's role in overseeing new construction. His contacts among the boat yards, marine industry vendors and crew (both here and abroad) make him well qualified to put those projects together.
Allen enjoys the work he has put in serving on industry associations such as the Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA) and is a former member of the Board of Directors and spent many years sitting on YBAA's Professional Standards and Ethics Committee.

Bob Peckham, CPYB
Let's face it, if we love boats, there was something in our lives that relentlessly pulled us in…..for me it was learning to sail in a Carib canoe while living on the windward coast of Martinique in the sixties…then the hook was set with some competitive sailing in college, and racing and cruising on the Maine coast. I have built and repaired boats, managed a boatyard, captained commercial sight-seeing vessels, and done some offshore sailing, ditch-crawling and as much gunk-holing as possible. It seems that a life-long love of boats is now well moored!
I had been the general manager of a Maine boatyard, and was involved with house- and boat-building, when a chance to sell the house and do some cruising came along…. As a family with very young boys, we bought an old Grand Banks, and in our snow-birding, managed to land in Florida. I spent the last seventeen years with Grand Bank's dealers, selling new and brokerage boats of all kinds and sizes. But that love of New England was still there….
I am now happily anchored in Rhode Island, enjoying the waterfront life of Newport, Narragansett Bay and all the wonders that New England has to offer. I particularly enjoy getting out on the water with clients and friends, whether for a sea trial, a survey, or the delivery of a new boat. And that cruise back up to Maine is always beckoning…..
Tim Kohl
Tim Kohl has spent most of his life on the water. As a youth he grew up fishing the waters of the St Lawrence River. In high school he worked for a master marine carpenter doing wood repairs.
A degree from Rochester Institute of Technology in Printing Management served him well in his early career as a manager. From there, he ran printing plants. Then moving into the high tech imaging equipment sales and custom software solutions to national accounts like General Dynamics Marine, Honda, Bombardier and UTC.
Thirty years ago he was exposed to salt water sailing and fishing and never looked back.
A USCG Captain's license and over 720 documented days at sea have allowed him exposure to great adventures offshore and around the buoys. His passion is to be at sea; sailing, offshore fishing, or delivering yachts.
A sailing racer for over twenty years, he has sailed in Newport, Long Island Sound, Maine, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Key West, Charleston, and Annapolis. During that time he has crewed in numerous J 105 and J 109 North American championships with two firsts and two seconds overall
Now a resident of Newport Rhode Island, Tim lives in a community that feeds his passions.
Tim's knowledge of the sea and boats – both sail and power and his sales professionalism creates a pleasant and informative buying or selling experience for his clients. He is a great resource to his clients.
Ben Knowles
Whether it is by nature or nurture, Ben shares his father's passion for yachting. Growing up in Maine, Ben spent every summer cruising with his family and racing dinghies at the Portland Yacht Club. As a youngster, two of his favorite Knowles family sailing adventures include the six months they spent cruising on a Mason 43 through the Caribbean islands and the two months during which they sailed from Yarmouth, ME to the northern most tip of Newfoundland on a J44.
When he wasn't cruising with his family, Ben enjoyed dinghy sailing. As a dinghy sailor Ben got his first taste of racing and honed his boat handling skills, winning various state and regional awards along the way. Outside of the dinghy boat arena, Ben has enjoyed campaigning a J100 throughout Maine with his father and racing J Boats in the Monhegan Island, Marblehead to Halifax, and Bermuda races.
Ben attended St. Lawrence University and graduated with an economics degree. After spending his college years landlocked in upstate New York, Ben was eager to get back on the water. Since graduation, Ben has worked, lived, and raced on an assortment of boats. Ben delivered several boats to the Caribbean, where he later spent time working on boats of all shapes and sizes and racing as a bowman on Kialoa V, an 80' maxi race boat. Prior to joining the ECYS team, Ben was one of three captains running a twelve-boat program. When he wasn't travelling to Europe as shore team manager on a RC44, Ben was running a J122 and a Grand Banks 49 Eastbay, serving as mate on a Lyman Morse 90', and maintaining several center consoles. Given his background, Ben's wide range of skills and unique experiences bring a different perspective to his customers.
Ben is passionate about what he does, and as a yacht broker he hopes that he can help others make as many great memories on the ocean as he's had.

Iggy and the Stooges Ready to Die/Fat Possum
It has been 40 years since we have seen an album with "Iggy and the Stooges" printed on it.
Sure, the pre-punk rock band regrouped a few years back and released a tepid comeback album, but that album, "The Weirdness," was only listed as an album by The Stooges despite Iggy Pop's participation.
So does "Ready to Die" bring back the hard-rock sound that made the band underground heroes in the early '70s?
In a word, yes.
Just like "Raw Power," which most cite as Iggy and the Stooges' high point, this new album features roaring guitars, tight and economical songwriting, and Iggy Pop's crooning vocals as the icing on the cake.
One listen to songs such as "Burn," "Job" and "Gun" and you understand why the band is still considered to be one of the most influential punk rock bands in music history.
The appeal is even more amazing when you consider the fact that punk rock still wasn't a widely recognized music style when "Raw Power" was released in 1973.
The new album's title track is also worth noting, especially for the incredible guitar work of James Williamson.
For folks still a bit gun shy of the band after that dreadful 2009 comeback album, just know that it appears that Iggy and the Stooges have paid their penance and definitely come out swinging on this new album.
Key Tracks: "Burn," "Job," "Ready to Die"
LL Cool J Authentic/429
Listening to the latest album by LL Cool J, one can't help but be conflicted.
On the one hand, LL is one of those rap artists who helped pioneer the musical style alongside acts such as Run-DMC, Kool Moe Dee and Kurtis Blow. Among old school rap fans, LL Cool J tracks such as "I Can't Live Without My Radio," "Rock the Bells" and "I Need Love" are considered classics.
On the other hand, those same aficionados might consider LL lost to Hollywood. Currently starring on TV's "NCIS: Los Angeles," LL has also acted in several films. For hard-core musicians who do nothing but ply their musical trade, LL's moonlighting as an actor might be a sign of going soft.
On LL Cool J's latest album, there are songs that might support either side of that argument, depending on which track you happen to hear. And the guest list is surprisingly eclectic, with expected participants such as Chuck D and Snoop Lion rubbing shoulders with the likes of Tom Morello, Eddie Van Halen and Travis Barker.
For songs such as "Bath Salt" and "New Love," you can almost hear the old school LL adjusting his trademark red Kangol cap before delivering his rhymes in his typical smooth style.
However there also are numbers, including "Give Me Love" (with Seal) and "We're the Greatest" (with Van Halen), that just don't quite work. There's even a song with country star Brad Paisley, "Live for You," that is only slightly less heinous than the pair's other collaboration, "Accidental Racist," which appears on Paisley's most recent album.
So while LL might be doing more acting than rapping these days, he's trying to keep it real. At times, he actually succeeds, but not always.
Key Tracks: "Bath Salt," "New Love," "Whaddup"
Big Country The Journey/Mri Associated
"There will be hurt. There will be pain. There will be a lot of tears, a lot of joy. What we have left cannot be destroyed."
Those are a few of the lyrics from "In a Broken Promise Land," the first track on "The Journey," the new album from Scottish rockers Big Country.
Best known for the enduring '80s hit "In a Big Country," the band seemed over and done with when lead singer Stuart Adamson committed suicide in 2001.
Band member Tony Butler briefly took over as lead singer after Adamson's death, but was later replaced by Mike Peters of The Alarm. These days, guitarist Bruce Watson and drummer Mark Brzezicki are the only original members left, but still they press on.
Listening to "The Journey," two thoughts come immediately to mind: that Peters will never totally fill Adamson's shoes as lead singer (and one gets the idea that Peters isn't trying to do so), and that despite its trials and its unfair designation as a one-hit wonder, Big Country still makes some really good music.
With Peters as vocalist, the band sometimes threatens to sound like a really good U2 knockoff, as evidenced on the song "After the Flood," but there is some genuinely good stuff here. Standout tracks include "In a Broken Promise Land," "Another Country" and the album's title track.
The same spirit that caused you to listen closer the first time you heard "In a Big Country" is still there, played by a band that refuses to let some major setbacks diminish its collective spirit.
Key Tracks: "In a Broken Promise Land," "The Journey," "Another Country"

If you are going to try to talk like a pirate, prepare to feel the blast of the cannon and the slice of the cutlass ...
First, if you aren't intelligent enough to follow what is essentially a fairly simple storyline, you probably shouldn't be reviewing movies. Jack wants immortality, Will wants his father to be freed, Tia Dalma wants to be free herself, Davey Jones wants revenge, and Becket wants to be George Bush .. erm .. I mean .. he wants to rule the world by fear and use of military force. Perhaps you need to read more; try some Shakespeare.
Second, why on earth does the length of movie that moves along as well as POTC:AWE be a consideration? Smart people will use the restroom before they sit down.
Third, the movies are about 'FICTITIOUS PIRATES' ... you know, fiction? That which is made up? Sort of like the evidence about WMDs.
Now, the review isn't *all* bad .. just most of it. The movie is dark, and it is a reminder of what can happen to those who oppose the current regime, or perhaps just want to do things differently.
You are correct in saying "This ain't Disneyland" (nice butchering of the language by the way ... good thing you don't write for a living.) I don't believe it was ever meant to be. Undead pirates in the first movie, the Kraken and cannibals in the second ... anyone who thinks this is just a spectacular version of "Peter Pan" needs to pull their head out of the sand.
Oh, and my 4-year old just loved it. Especially the monkey.

Barcelona defender Dani Alves has spoken of his attempts to entice fellow Brazilian Neymar to the Camp Nou, insisting that the young Santos striker would be joining "the best club in the world".
Speaking in an interview with FIFA.com, Alves explained: "I've been begging him to come to Barcelona for a long time, ever since the rumours of a move to Europe started. As the slogan says, this is more than a club: they look after you, they spoil you, they always treat you and your family very well."
And the Brazil international hopes that Neymar can one day share the honour of playing for Barça. "Everyone who is a part of Barcelona today feels privileged. It's got values that virtually no other club has, and that's what makes it unique. There's no doubt that it's the best club in the world," he insisted.
Monitor finances, choose your signings wisely, select the best strategy, and face off friends to become the best manager in the world.

By Doug GillertAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 3, 1998 Women in uniform are integral to the telling of military history, and fortunately, service women receive their due on the Internet.
Perhaps most service women are familiar with the new Women in Military Service for America Memorial on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery, here. The foundation behind this site's development hosts a site on the World Wide Web at http://www.wimsa.org. The site contains information about the memorial and instructions for becoming a foundation member.
However, much of this site is still under construction, meaning you can't yet access what eventually should be some useful and interesting information. For example, you can't yet visit the kid's page, educator's page or a section on history.
If, on the other hand, you just want to see what others have to say about their experiences as women in uniform, visit the Military Woman Home Page. At http://www.MilitaryWoman.org/, you'll find first-person vignettes about "A Day in the Life of a Military Woman," posted by date and presumably updated as new submissions arrive.
Warning: These brief exposes submitted by women serving now or having served in the past aren't always positive, but they raise real issues; for example, "port-a-potty" visits in a bivouac and gender-divided tasks preceding an IG inspection. They also address more serious issues such as domestic violence and rape.
Many of the essays, however, cover issues without a gender tie -- they are the kinds of things that occur for anyone in uniform, based on rank. So guys, don't get your boxer shorts in a knot; check out this site.
This site also provides updates on legislation of interest to military women, veterans issues such as post traumatic stress disorder, and health issues, including research trends on osteoporosis.
If you're a woman in uniform or a friend/relative of one, the Military Woman Home Page should interest you.
One other site worth visiting comes from Michigan State University, but with the decidedly non-academic name of "Minerva." You have to be a student of women's military history to know that the name is derived from the helmeted, golden-hair Roman goddess of war and wisdom. 'Nough said, I suppose -- for would-be goddesses and the wise. Minerva's on call at http://18.104.22.168/MinervaCenter/. For a quick review of the site's offerings, click on "frequently asked questions."
And here's a question for you: This time last year, I wrote about women's sites on the Internet but lamented the absence of sites dedicated to military women. I asked for readers' help and got pointed to Minerva and Military Woman. Are there others I have missed and you'd like to share with readers? Let me know and I will publish the addresses in a future column.
Questions or comments? E-mail email@example.com.
NOTE: Joint Ethics Regulation (DOD 550.7-R, section 2-301) spells out legal and illegal use of federal communications resources while on the job. In general, the restrictions that guide office telephone use also govern Internet use. See your supervisor or local computer policy experts for details.
