Yesterday Ms. Blume appeared on ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA to talk with Robin Roberts about her new book, Let's Bring Back.
"In the era of Spanx, it is unusual to hear a call for the return of the corset. But author Lesley Blume wants us to return to the simple pleasures of days past in her beautiful new book, Let's Bring Back," Ms. Roberts told viewers. "She wants us to put down our iPods, pull out the old Victrolas, roll up the rug and foxtrot. It's delightful … a lovely read."
Ms. Blume spoke about the book's main message: "So much of our life is lived in two dimensions these days, and it's time to start time to start living our life in three dimensions again. We spend so much time online and plugged in. And it's nice to have beautiful, thoughtful flourishes around us: books, newspapers, listening to music together as a family, playing music together in your home, Sunday dinners, dinner parties. It's just nice to have that level of interaction, and we should take our cues from the past as we move forward into the future."

Today Ms. Blume spoke on VOICE OF AMERICA's "American Cafe" show about her new book, Let's Bring Back.
You can listen to the full interview here.
"American culture is a fast-moving, ever-changing work in progress," said VOA host Eric Felten. "But with the shock and excitement of new trends, new products, and new ways of living, there is inevitably the loss of old habits and favorite old things. Writer Lesley Blume is on a quest to save quirky and charming traditions that Americans have forgotten about, things that were once essential parts of American living."
Many issues and objects were discussed. "A lot of people who live in more traditional cultures often feel that American culture and its influences is something of an assault on traditional ways of living," noted Felten. "People may not realize that in a way, American culture is often an assault on American traditional ways of living as well."
"I don't think that these trends really need to be an assault on traditional living," replied Ms. Blume. "Let's Bring Back is not about stopping the clock, because as everyone knows, that's not possible, and it's not really desirable. Progress is desirable. The message of the book is that as we move into the digital age, [we should] cherry-pick the past for things that we want to bring with us into the future."
As discussed in the show, such things include delightful grandfather clocks ("such a relatable, amiable form of technology"), flowers as a hair adornment (a la jazz musician Billie Holiday and Mexican artist Frida Kahlo), and playing a piano with one's family after supper ("instead of staring at a television").
VOICE OF AMERICA – which launched during World War II— is the official external radio and television broadcasting service of the United States federal government. It broadcasts around the world in forty-four languages.
Let's Bring Back officially releases on November 1, 2010.

Fashionable publications all over town are toasting Ms. Blume's new book, Let's Bring Back.
Says STYLEITE: "While [Let's Bring Back's] cover, design, and even typeface of the book evoke the feeling of turn-of-the-century hardcovers, Blume's details and descriptions are entirely her own … It's whimsical, entertaining, enlightening, and utterly captivating." The editors particularly liked the following Let's Bring Back entries:
***One-Piece Swimsuits: Bikinis are grand, but it's hard to live up to their expectations.
***Stegosaurus: These dinosaurs had such bold fashion sense with all of those beautiful, fierce plates. (See also Rabanne, Paco)
***Dough: Using this word in lieu of "money" will garner you lots of retro street cred. Equally pleasing synonyms include "bread" and "clams."
***Gold Teeth: So festive. Also: handy assets in recession.
See the full STYLEITE feature here: "Fashion Loves Its Icons: Let's Bring Back".
Uber-hip fashion website REFINERY 29 had this to say:
"It's a gorgeously illustrated champagne bubble of a read … Let's Bring Back is a must for that perfect, cozy rainy afternoon—the entries will give you an aftertaste that's elegant, amusing, and, naturally, beyond nostalgic … Trust, before you get to the letter "L" you'll be rummaging in your parent's attic, searching for a monocle."
Read the full REFINERY 29 feature here: "Everything You Ever Wanted To Bring Back Is Now In A Book".
Not to be outdone, FULL FRONTAL FASHION speculated that Ms. Blume "must have been conceived from the hat pin of Dorothy Parker when it fell into a flute of champagne at Noel Coward's. Her wit, wisdom, and boldness are rare in this day and age."

Acclaim continues to come in for Ms. Blume's new book, Let's Bring Back.
Following a spectacular, full page VANITY FAIR feature, the November issue of O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE has decreed that Let's Bring Back is "the bee's knees."
"When was the last time you were serenaded by a cuckoo clock?" the magazine asks its readers. "Or devoured a plate of lady fingers? Or gave someone the 'ole' heave-ho'? Right: never." Ms. Blume's book, says the feature, will change all of that. It is "elegant … whimsical … useful." All in all, Let's Bring Back is filled with "words of wisdom from times gone by."
Click here to see Oprah's full Let's Bring Back feature.
"Wistful … zeitgeisty … charming," says ELLE. "Let's Bring Back is like a stroll down memory lane … Whether you'd carry a parasol down 5th Avenue or plop it in your caipirinha—there's something for everyone." Read the whole feature here.
COUNTRY LIVING calls Let's Bring Back a "tribute to the good old ways." This "witty" book, says the magazine, is "an alphabetized ode to more than 700 delightful traditions, products, and phrases lost over time." Editors' picks included:
*** Evening strolls: "A civilized after-dinner occupation, as opposed to throwing yourself down onto a sofa and watching reruns of Bridezillas."
*** Cold cream: "Which of course must be kept in a glass jar on your bathroom shelf; cold cream is still absolutely the best makeup remover."
*** 'The bee's knees': "An equally glowing accolade: 'The cat's meow.' The 1920s offered all sorts of delightfully inane animal kingdom compliments."

Inspired by Ms. Blume's popular, longstanding Huffington Post column by the same name, Chronicle Books will release Let's Bring Back as a book on November 1, 2010.
A sophisticated, stylish cultural encyclopedia of nostalgia, Let's Bring Back celebrates forgotten objects, curiosities, pastimes, fashions, words, landmarks, and personae from bygone eras.
Let's Bring Back transports its readers from the golden age of Hollywood to the bacchanals of ancient Rome to the elaborately-coiffed and martini-filled New York City of the 1960s. This is a world of monocles and parasols; luxurious train travel and gilded airline cabins; decadent feasts, pet cheetahs, and zeppelins.
In the video trailer above, visit the Let's Bring Back world with author Lesley M. M. Blume, as she travels by train from the old Grand Central Station (with traveling trunks, of course)…tiptoes through the hallowed halls of the New York Public Library…indulges in the forgotten pleasures of tea time (and wittily-barbed conversation) at the historical Algonquin Hotel…and acquires a 1960s-style coif at the venerable Snip N Sip salon.
In other words, a typical day in the life of a nostalgist.

This morning author Lesley M. M. Blume spoke on NPR's Morning Edition about her newly released book, Modern Fairies, Dwarves, Goblins & Other Nasties:
From NPR's website:
As a child, Blume had an active imagination. She attempted old-fashioned spells in hopes of conjuring up fairies and envisioned miniature men running in and out of the mysterious little doors along the Lincoln Tunnel.
Now an adult, Blume has used her childhood fascination with the fantastic to craft a contemporary field guide to the fairy world of present-day Manhattan. It's called Modern Fairies, Dwarves, Goblins, and Other Nasties, and, for a book about fairies, it's not as sweet as you'd expect.
"Traditionally, children's fairy tales have not been very nice and this book, while it is modern, also returns to those dark roots of children's literature," Blume tells NPR's Steve Inskeep. "Look at the Grimms' fairy tales, for example. [Or] When you see the original Little Mermaid, it most certainly did not feature singing and dancing crabs and shellfish."
At the same time, Blume says she's updated the usual fantasy fare by making the world of fairies more accessible to children — literally.
"You no longer have to leave unicorn hairs and other now-arcane objects on the hearth to invite fairies to visit," she says. "My book tells you how to connect with that world using objects found in every household or supermarket today."
In Modern Fairies, gummy bears and animal crackers are all you need to summon fairy visitors — and a drive through the Lincoln Tunnel is all you need to spot them.
Blume says she never stopped wondering about those early childhood fantasies of little men running in and out of the doors of the Lincoln Tunnel — and now, she knows all about them.
"Behind these doors are not nuts and bolts or workers munching on sandwiches," Blume says. "There is a fantastical dwarf forest and they are harvesting apple-size rubies, and you'll be very, very surprised to hear how those rubies show up in the modern world."
In another of Blume's stories, "A Face Made From Flowers," a little girl is teased incessantly by her beautiful sisters because she herself isn't beautiful.
"All she wants is to be made beautiful," Blume says. "She encounters a curious breed of fairies who live in a fairy ring in her backyard called flower fairies and she asks them to make her beautiful, as if that will solve all of her problems."
But, of course, it doesn't. "A Face Made From Flowers" gives a taste of the injustice that permeates Blume's book, the characters of which often end up disappointed. And Blume says there's good reason for that.
"I think that it's important to realize that not every problem in life has a neat solution," she says, "and even if it did, that solution wouldn't necessarily bring the results that you wanted."

In stores today: Modern Fairies, Dwarves, Goblins & Other Nasties. Critical acclaim is incoming, including this review:
"Ms. Blume has the ability to make you believe in the impossible … Sometimes funny, sometimes dire, Blume weaves a new look at fairies in the city and leaves the reader wanting more. Even the most countrified kid will find something to love about this truly metropolitan fare. It's a doozy."

Written by David Foote and Lesley M. M. Blume
Today Taki magazine profiled icons who've embodied "tomboy style" and placed Ms. Blume in the same category as famed Victor-Victoria greats Katherine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, and Joan Jett.
An excerpt:
Today the gamut of true contemporary tomboys runs wide—socialites, actresses, rockers, and models all want in on the action. But only those who take their queues from the legends and simultaneously embody the look and soul of the tomboy can actually pull it off.
Witness Vogue fashion icon and writer Lesley M. M. Blume, who recently wore a Dietrich-inspired tailored tux to the Frick Ball in New York City. "I've rarely felt as glamorous… I doubt the most elaborate Oscar de la Renta ballgown could have had the same effect. I can't explain the calm of it, sailing around in tails amidst a sea of satin dresses. And yet, it still felt distinctly feminine—albeit a stranger, more extravagant version of femininity," she told TomboyStyle.

Last week, in the middle of a howling blizzard, the Frick Museum in New York City held its annual Young Fellows Ball. The theme: Diamond Deco.
While the idea of accessorizing a satin gown with a pair of slush-defying rubber wellies had a certain irreverent appeal, Ms. Blume opted instead for a less orthodox solution: she went in drag, donning tails and a tophat.
Today Vogue honored her choice by showcasing her attire.
Ms. Blume's get-up was an homage to one of her most beloved style icons, Marlene Dietrich – the most sparkling deco diamond of all. The famous actress largely pioneered Victor-Victoria chic while wearing tuxedos to fancy-dress balls in decadent Weimar Germany. In 1929, photographer Alfred Eisenstadt captured Ms. Dietrich in the iconic image below; Ms. Blume grew up looking at this picture in one of her parents' coffee table books, and carefully referenced it again while devising her own ensemble for the Frick gala.
Ms. Dietrich's particular brand of glamor continues to set a very important example for women of all ages: she invariably dictated her own style, as opposed to having it dictated to her. "Fashion: don't follow it blindly into every dark alley," she once wrote. "Always remember that you are not a model or a mannequin for which the fashion is created."
The above quote is from Ms. Dietrich's now-little-known, out-of-print book, Marlene Dietrich's ABC. In it, the star offers all sort of glamorous-yet-menschy advice and musings on alphabetized topics ranging from the meaning of elegance to the best recipe for beef broth.
The spirit, tone, and format of Ms. Dietrich's book helped to inspire Ms. Blume's forthcoming book, Let's Bring Back, a cultural encyclopedia of nostalgia, celebrating all sorts of forgotten objects, rituals, personae, recipes, and landmarks from bygone eras.
In Let's Bring Back, you will learn more about Ms. Dietrich herself (and the great Mr. Eisenstadt), as well as many of her stylish contemporaries, including wildly imaginative designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Lilly Dache, delightful decorator Elsie de Wolfe, and Ms. Dietrich's nemesis, the aloof Greta Garbo.
In the meantime, you can follow Ms. Blume's popular Let's Bring Back column at the Huffington Post. Ms. Dietrich makes appearances there quite regularly—usually with a tophat in tow, no matter what the weather is doing.
Let's Bring Back will be released by Chronicle Books on November 1, 2010.

In its just-released January issue, Vanity Fair featured a photograph of Ms. Blume, donning a rather opinionated hat.
The picture was snapped at the Whitney Museum Art Party in October, at which "Art Chic" was the dress code.
Ms. Blume's lobster hat was an homage to the 1930s collaboration between Surrealist artists Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí, who together crafted the iconic lobster dress worn by some of the era's preeminent tastemakers, including art collector Peggy Guggenheim and the Duchess of Windsor, as shown in the following portrait:
Below is Dalí's famed "Lobster Telephone" (1936). According to the Tate Collection, "Lobsters and telephones had strong sexual connotations for [Dalí], and he drew a close analogy between food and sex. He made Lobster Telephone for Edward James, the British collector who was the most active patron of Surrealist artists in the 1930s."
You can read more about Schiaparelli, Dalí, Guggenheim, and many other fascinating art- and fashion-world figures in Ms. Blume's soon-to-be-released book, Let's Bring Back.
In the October issue of Elle magazine, creative director Joe Zee profiled Ms. Blume's personal style.
Ms. Blume espoused her appreciation of unusual hats.

The Historical Novels Review added:
"The Rising Star of Rusty Nail is simply fun and laugh-out-loud funny … readers of all ages will be cheering for Franny; [even] adult readers will find themselves laughing … Find a copy (or two) and start reading with your kids today!"

In Fall 2010, Chronicle Books will release a book by Lesley Blume based on her popular Let's Bring Back column for The Huffington Post.
Let's Bring Back will be a sophisticated, stylish novelty book, detailing objects, pastimes, and personas from bygone eras that should not have been left behind. From sealing wax and quill pens to the Orient Express and the Stork Club, from fainting couches to limericks to quizzing glasses, there is a great deal of ground to cover.
Comprised primarily of selections and commentaries by Ms. Blume, Let's Bring Back will also feature contributions from prominent tastemakers, historians, journalists, fashion experts, and other interesting figures.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Tenth-ranked Louisville held off WKU's late charge Wednesday night at the Bowling Green Ballpark, ending the Hilltoppers six-game winning streak at the downtown facility with a 5-3 decision in front of a crowd of 1,108.
WKU (13-12) had sophomore third baseman Thomas Peter in scoring position with two outs and 4-3 deficit in the eighth inning, but Louisville's All-American closer Nick Burdi struck pinch hitting freshman Hunter Wood out to end the Hilltopper threat. The top of the lineup came to the plate for WKU in the ninth, but Burdi mowed it down in order to preserve the Cardinals' (18-6) victory.
Sophomore right-hander Josh Bartley worked 5.2 innings and surrendered two runs on five hits while striking out four batters, but the Hilltoppers trailed 2-0 during his sixth-inning exit. WKU strung together a two-run, two-out rally in the sixth inning to even things up at 2-2 with an RBI groundout from sophomore outfielder Anderson Miller and an RBI single from freshman shortstop Leiff Clarkson.
Louisville answered immediately in the seventh as first baseman Grant Kay towered a two-run home run to left field to put the Cardinals back in front, 4-2. The Hilltoppers used some more two-out magic in the eighth inning, getting a two-out triple from Miller and an RBI double from Peter to trim the Cardinals' advantage to 4-3. Peter's two-out RBI improved his total to a team-high nine in 2014 while WKU registered it 51st and 52nd two-out RBI of the year.
The Cardinals had some two-out success of their own in the ninth as Cole Sturgeon tacked on a key insurance run in the ninth with an RBI double that scored Alex Chittenden to make the score 5-3 in Louisville's favor. WKU sent the top of its lineup to bat in the ninth, but Burdi retired the Hilltoppers in order.
Junior relievers Tate Glasscock, Brennan Pearson and Ian Tompkins worked an inning of relief behind Bartley, with all giving up one hit and one run. Glasscock was tagged for his first loss of the year. Louisville's Drew Harrington earned the decision after striking out three in two innings of relief behind starter Josh Rogers. Rogers puzzled the Hilltopper bats in his four innings on the mound as he allowed just two hits while striking out a pair.
The loss was WKU's first regular-season defeat at the Bowling Green Ballpark as it had won the previous six meetings with Louisville and Kentucky. The Hilltoppers will try and end their three-game skid Friday as they travel to No. 1 Louisiana-Lafayette, who boasts the nation's longest winning streak at 14 games. Friday's first pitch between the Hilltoppers and Cajuns is set for 6 p.m. and can be heard on WKUSports.tv or ESPN 1450 AM.

Do you like this story?Tweet
When I first posted about this earlier this week, I wondered how long it would take for CAIR to cry its jihadi crocodile tears. Apparently, three days:
Three Middle Eastern men who were arrested and later had charges against them dropped over a brief terrorism scare at the Port of Miami on Sunday said they were unfairly targeted because of their ethnicity and creed.
Amar Al-Hadad said he was "humiliated, disrespected (and) treated real badly just because my name is an Arabic name and I'm a Muslim."
The Iraqi-born Al-Hadad cried during the Monday news conference in which he described the way he, his brother, Hussain Al Hadad, and friend, Hassan El Sayed, were treated.
"We were treated like animals," El Sayed said.
How much you want to bet they were simply taken into custody and questioned, like all suspicious people hiding in trucks trying to pretend they aren't wanted from the law and illegally attempting to enter the port of Miami? Or, I could be wrong. The officials might have been perfectly fine with all that shady stuff, and have just not liked the guys name.

Nine interviews that will make you smarter
Imagine a place where retired-four-star General Stanley McChrystal, warmly shakes your hand and insists you call him Stan. He means it, too, joking when the word general pops out of your mouth while you position him properly in front of the cameras for a brief interview. He wants to talk about getting young people involved in public service through a program where they would dedicate a year of their lives to improving the country. But he's game to talk about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, too. He served in both — becoming the man in charge in Afghanistan before comments he made to Rolling Stone that were critical of the Obama administration ended up costing him his job.
McChrystal makes a strong impression, and a positive one. And he's not the only one who wants to talk with at least the appearance of frankness. In Aspen, Colorado, for the 10 days of the annual Ideas Festival, we're all equals — of a sort. In my five days there, I met no one who wanted to be called mister, senator or any other title. It was first names all around, with the good and great wearing khakis, or even shorts. If people were trying to impress, it was mostly through trying hard to not impress at all.
The people I, Andy Sullivan, Lily Jamali and Zach Goelman interviewed work in the fields of art, science, international affairs, politics and romance. We're all Reuters journalists with more than 50 years of experience among us. We've all interviewed interesting and powerful people before, but never such a diverse group in such a beautiful setting, nor in such quick succession.
Below are some of the things we took away:
Frank Underwood isn't evil — at least not according the man writing House of Cards, Beau Willimon
How are things going in Colorado six months after marijuana became legal? It's no a-pot-calypse
At least one guy thinks healthcare is going to get much better thanks to Obamacare
Looking for insight? Scientist Mark Beeman has some advice
If you're looking for a real estate investment, this physicist says try Detroit
Democracy doesn't mean social liberalism in the Middle East — or anywhere else
How much would you pay for a date with the perfect woman? If you're a billionaire, it's $100,000 or more
You don't know what you want when you're out on a date

Kids will love to re-create the barn animals that kept Mary,
Joseph, and baby Jesus company on the night Jesus was born.
Scripture: Luke 2:13-18
Materials: Empty pudding boxes (two per child),
yarn, cotton balls, pompoms, tempera paint, masking tape, large
google eyes, and construction paper.
Before class, cut or tear off the "open here" flaps from the end
of each pudding box. For younger children, stack two pudding boxes
with the open ends on top of each other. Use masking tape to create
a "hinge" between the boxes by placing strips of masking tape along
the area where the boxes meet. (Older kids can do this for
themselves.) Apply tape to both sides of the hinge. The child's
hand will slip inside the pudding boxes to create a puppet's head
and mouth.
Kids can make their puppets into any barn animal they choose,
such as a lamb, a donkey, or a pig. Use items such as paint, cotton
balls, google eyes, and yarn.
Read aloud the Scripture, and ask kids to imagine what it may've
been like that first night for Jesus and his family.
Age level: 3 to 9

Organic reserves like lipid, cholesterol, protein, glycogen and glucose in muscle, hepawpancreas and haemolymph of P. indicusduring different stages of moult cycle were estimated. High values of these organic reserves obtained at early premoult stage (D 1) followed by a significant decrease at late premoult stage (D4) indicated marked storage and subsequent utilization during stages D 1 to D4. Low values were observed at stage A (early post-moult) confirming depletion iri the reserves just after moulting. High percentage of water found in the muscle during post-moult stage A and low values during premoult stage (D 1), in contrast to the pattern observed for organic reserves during this period substantiated the concept of tissue growth by replacement of water during the periods between the moults.

It turns out that years and years of intensive astronaut training doesn't mean you don't still look like a drunk dad while trying to hammer a nail.
Based on this video we have to imagine that the instructions for hammering in the astronaut manual (that's right, it's called the astronaut manual) go something like this:
1. Find the tiniest hammer possible.
2. If you drop the hammer, exclaim "oh rats!" as though you were a 1950s grandmother that just realized she bought creamy instead of chunky peanut butter.
3. In order to pick up the hammer, hop around it erratically, as though you've never picked up something before in your life and it's a totally foreign concept to you. Don't just kneel on the ground and grab it -- that would make your pretty white astronaut suit all dirty!

Thomas Sowell
Various Internet-circulated items about the 2008 U.S. presidential election were written by Thomas Sowell.
Thomas Sowell
is described by Wikipedia as:
An American economist, social commentator, and author of dozens of books. He often writes from an economically laissez-faire perspective. He is currently a senior fellow of the Hoover Institution located at, but not affiliated with, Stanford University. In 1990, he won the Francis Boyer Award, presented by the American Enterprise Institute. In 2002 he was awarded the National Humanities Medal for prolific scholarship melding history, economics, and political science.
As a syndicated columnist,
Mr. Sowell
has penned a number of articles dealing with the 2008
U.S. presidential
election, some of which have been widely circulated on the Internet through
forwards and web postings. As is typical with redistributed material, some of the pieces
Mr. Sowell
wrote have been reproduced with missing or incorrect attributions, and some things he did not write have been erroneously
attributed to him. We'll sort through some of the more commonly circulated items here to distinguish what is genuinely his work from that which is not
An article entitled "An Old Newness," which offered the example of baseball player Paul Waner to caution about the pitfalls of wanting "to reach [a] landmark so badly that we are willing to overlook how questionably that landmark is reached" (in reference to Barack Obama's possibly becoming the first black President of the United States) is a genuine Thomas Sowell
from 29 April 2008. Its opening paragraphs read as follows:
Many years ago, a great hitter named Paul Waner was nearing the end of his long career. He entered a ballgame with 2,999
hits — one
hit away from the landmark total of 3,000, which so many hitters want to reach, but which relatively few actually do reach.
Waner hit a ball that the fielder did not handle cleanly but the official scorer called it a hit, making it Waner's 3,000th. Paul Waner then sent word to the official scorer that he did not want that questionable hit to be the one that put him over the top.
The official scorer reversed himself and called it an error. Later Paul Waner got a clean hit for number 3,000.
What reminded me of this is the great fervor that many seem to feel over the prospect of the first black President of the United States.
(It is indeed true that
Paul Waner
spurned achieving his 3,000th hit via a questionable scoring call.)
An article entitled "Obama and McCain," which criticized both candidates as "painfully inadequate" but vetted John McCain as the one who would better deal with a nuclear threat from Iran is also a genuine Thomas Sowell
, published on
5 June
2008. Its opening paragraphs read as follows:
Now that the two parties have finally selected their presidential candidates, it is time for a
sober — if
grim — assessment
of where we are.
Not since 1972 have we been presented with two such painfully inadequate candidates. When election day came that year, I could not bring myself to vote for either George McGovern or Richard Nixon. I stayed home.
This year, none of us has that luxury. While all sorts of gushing is going on in the media, and posturing is going on in politics, the biggest national sponsor of terrorism in the
world — Iran — is
moving step by step toward building a nuclear bomb.
The point when they get that bomb will be the point of no return. Iran's nuclear bomb will be the terrorists' nuclear
bomb — and
they can make 9/11 look like child's play.
A lengthy
endorsing John McCain for president is now commonly attributed to Thomas Sowell, but it was
written by him. (Mr. Sowell has penned several
Random Thoughts
columns over the last year, but none of them was an endorsement of John McCain, and none of them was nearly as long as the item cited here.) This
is an item of unknown authorship which was originally simply credited as the work of "Anonymous" or "A Concerned American" before someone tacked on a preface that mistakenly attributed it to Thomas Sowell:
Thomas Sowell is a syndicated columnist and Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in Stanford, CA. This past week, he wrote in a column titled "Random Thoughts", and published in newspapers nationally, the following:
"Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain."
Oh, and in case you aren't familiar with Thomas Sowell, He happens to be black.
After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President.
I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I should vote for.
We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words "money" and "special interests" come to mind, among many others.
Here's the way I see it:
Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.
You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!
But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job!
Another e-mail positing that Barack Obama is not eligible to be President of the United States because he does not meet the requirements for natural-born citizenship status has also been erroneously attributed to Thomas Sowell, who (on
10 July 2008)
issued a
denying authorship of it:
Over the years, many statements have been falsely attributed to me, but this is the first year in which a whole column has been made up and circulated in a chain letter on the Internet, claiming that I wrote it.
Letters, phone calls and e-mails from readers around the country have asked me if I wrote a column saying that Barack Obama is not an American citizen. The answer is "No."
Many of my readers have been savvy enough to tell that the style of the phony column is not mine, but checked with me just to be sure.
What is puzzling about all this is that some people would take seriously a chain letter on the Internet saying what some
columnist — any
columnist — is
supposed to have said, and would pass that on without knowing whether it was true or false.
The full text of the "Barack Obama is not an American citizen"
and our analysis of its veracity, can be found in a separate
on this site.

Star News
Unidentified man killed at restaurant
An unidentified man was shot and killed at a restaurant while he purchased food along Gloucester Avenue in Montego Bay, St James, early yesterday morning, THE STAR has learnt.
Information reaching our news team is that the fatal incident occurred close to 6 a.m. in a section of the community commonly referred to as 'Botttom Road'.
Reports are that shortly after the shooting, two men were taken into custody for questioning after a car in which they were travelling allegedly matched the description of the getaway vehicle.
Our news team gathered that a gunman approached the deceased man inside the establishment while he ordered some chicken, before opening fire and killing him on the spot.
Reports are that the killer then made his escape in a waiting motor vehicle.
The St James Constabulary Communications Unit (CCU) confirmed that two men were in custody, however, they were not charged.
THE STAR was told that the men were held in Flankers and that the car was found parked.
The St James police say the investigation is ongoing.

Not much puppy love for the Americana
I have been reading the articles that have been in the Glendale News-Press these past few weeks on the Americana at Brand ("Americana tests traffic plan," Wednesday, "Galleria unfazed by arrival of the Americana," Tuesday, "Brand-new day for shoppers," May 3 and "A taste of Americana," May 2).
I have been a supporter of the project from the beginning. I was part of the Community Development Block Grant Committee for five years. My family worked on the Edison-Pacific project. But after what happened to me and my family on Wednesday night, I'm not so sure about developer Rick Caruso and his Americana.

Assembly Bill 484 Legislative Activity
On September 4, 2013, Assembly Bill (AB) 484 was amended to call for the suspension of most of the state's Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program tests beginning with the 2013-14 school year. This suspension would allow California to maximize the participation of its schools in the spring 2014 Smarter Balanced Field Test and allow local educational agencies to focus fully on the transition to the Common Core State Standards. The newly amended version of AB 484 can be accessed online at the California Legislative Information Web site .
AB 484 proposes the establishment of a new assessment system for the State of California, the Measurement of Academic Performance and Progress (MAPP). By September 13, AB 484 is expected to be voted on by the Senate and the Assembly.

I waited and waited then finally went to a doctor, who gave me the antibiotic amoxicillin, enough for ten days. I was told to come back if it did not work and try and set up an appointment with a specialist. I skipped him and went straight to an ENT specialist, to save myself some money since he was going to send me there anyways. I told the ENT that I had this constant congestion, drainage, and thick saliva. He told me I had tonsillitis, though it doesn't hurt and he constantly assumed it did (He was told multiple times it did not). I was in the room a matter of seconds and the ENT gave me steroids to reduce the swelling. They worked. I became sick while on the steroids which I assumed stopped the process and my tonsils began to swell again. I found out that Steroids can be bad for your immune system and I'm thinking the drainage had gotten me sick. The ENT was also talking about removing my tonsils which I don't mind doing if it will fix the problem.
However, the roof of my mouth near the tonsils and uvula is also swollen. When I open my mouth normally you can only see the roof of my mouth, not my throat, tonsils, or uvula. I fear that if I remove my tonsils this will not stop this issue and I will continue to have this congestion and thick saliva. I'm beginning to think that this constant drainage and congestion is what is making my tonsils swell. Kind of like a sponge soaking up water. However, I've also been on antihistamines for quite some time as well to see if they would work as well. I'm out of options and ideas, it also seems like my Doctor and ENT didn't really spend time to find out what was causing it, which I've been trying to explain these symptoms. This seems unrelated but maybe it could be another explanation, but I have severe heartburn that I've had since I was young.
Any ideas to what I could do? Or if the removal of my tonsils will stop all the swelling?View Thread

The date Dec. 12, 2012, could be a significant one in India's banking history. This was the day when five banks and Visa came together to offer banking services to the unbanked population in India, which stands at nearly 400 million.
Christened "Saral Money", this new service leverages the government's flagship Aadhaar program to offer a Visa 'instant account' to financially excluded individuals in India.
It has never been easy to open a bank account in India., which is something I had blogged about back in October 2009. In short, my domestic help was facing a lot of harassment when she tried to open a bank account then, even though she had an ID card. I had to speak to the bank manager, who eventually did help her out.
For those who do not have an ID card, opening a bank account in India is nearly an impossibility today.

Red Crescent Run (RCR)
Hey everyone. My name is Louis Mykoff. I am doing a 125 mile run to help raise money for the Team Gleason Foundation, to benefit ALS research and the people of New Orleans. It will start on September 25th and end on September 30th. My goal is to raise $10,000 in support of Team Gleason. I would really appreciate any gift you can make to help me reach my goal! Any donation of $20 and over or more will get you a tank top or t-shirt (your choice-- please put size in your comment section). Designs are coming soon!
Steve Gleason will always be remembered for his blocked punt on the night the New Orleans Superdome reopened for the first time after Hurricane Katrina—a defining moment of for the city, the state, and the team that we love. Steve played for The New Orleans Saints from 2000-2008. In 2011, Steve was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), considered a terminal neuro-muscular disease. Steve is determined to inspire others by continuing to pursue life adventures despite his diagnosis, and has challenged the worlds of technology and science to identify their most promising developments toward new treatments and a cure. Steve, along with his friends and family, started Team Gleason to generate public awareness for ALS, raise funding to empower those with ALS to live a rewarding life, and ultimately find a cure.
Steve Gleason's story inspired me, so I decided to do something kind of crazy, impactful, and important-- something that would make a difference in others' lives, something that will make me feel inspired and complete. I'm going to run the levee from the USS Kidd in Baton Rouge to the Superdome in New Orleans. The run will come out to around 125 miles over a 5 day span. I plan on running up to the Superdome just in time for Monday Night Football when the New Orleans Saints will be playing the Miami Dolphins on September 30th. The run will end as we come up to Steve Gleason's statue which is located outside of the Superdome.
When I heard about Steve Gleason's fight against ALS, it really put my problems into perspective. His fight inspired me, the way it has inspired countless others, to re-connect with my own motivation, determination and drive. Steve inspired me to give of myself and to help others in my community.
Like Steve, I want to show that I can overcome my own struggles. I want to be a part of something that is bigger than just me. I want to show my family, friends, and anyone else who hears about my run that ordinary people can make a difference; that even the smallest contributions can go a long way. I want to remind myself and others that anything is possible with dedication, inspiration, love, and hope. Most of all, I want to join Team Gleason in helping find a cure for ALS.
Thank you so much for helping my reach my $10,000 goal in support of Team Gleason. Any amount you give will help me get there. Thank you for your support!
Remember, a gift of $20 or more gets you a commemorative Red Crescent Run Tank top or T-shirt! The colors of shirts will be purple, red, yellow, green, and Tahiti blue. The lettering of all the shirts will be neon orange. Please put IN THE COMMENT SECTION the type of shirt (tank top or T-shirt), color of shirt, and size of shirt you wish to receive with your $20 or more donation!(The shirts cost $7. Out of your donation of $20 or more-- $7 will go to the cost of the shirt and the rest to Team Gleason!! Thank you!! Also-- if you want a T-shirt and we have to ship it will be a $5 cost that will be taken out of your donation!)

"This style of card matched my wedding invitations perfectly even though they weren't technically made for each other. They are simple but pretty. I love them."
"I ordered the Invites, Response cards and these Enclosure cards and these were by far the best deal. We used them as directions to the venue. They let me have text on both sides of the enclosure card for no extra cost && the customer service representatives helped me to tactfully include our registry information on this card. Definitely worth the extra money to get enclosure cards"
"I love this idea and can't wait to see what our guests write. The cards are beautiful, exactly what I expected. The writing is very light though, so if you prefer something more bold, order it with darker script. The cards were a bit smaller than I had imagined, but that's not good or bad, just different than I had expected. They really are beautiful!"
"These are absolutely beautiful. If you have a vintage chic wedding with somewhat of a peacock them. These are perfect! The rounded edges and shimmer paper adds more interest."
"We re-arranged the layout of this "Directions" card and included both "Details" (in terms of the Reception) and the "R.S.V.P." We were provided suggestions in terms of how this should work, and were more than pleased with the layout. It very much compliments the invitation and is a great addition to your stationary package!"

Video: Hurricane Bob 22 years ago today
(NEWS CENTER) - It was 22 years ago this week that Hurricane Bob slammed into Maine as a tropical depression.
The storm killed three people and caused almost thirty million dollars in the greater Portland area alone.
About 180,000 people lost power during the storm. It took more than a week to get some places back online. The National Weather Service even got a report of a tornado touching down in St. Alban.
Rivers swelled past their banks, knocking out bridges. Portland got 8 inches of rain during the storm-- That's more than the city got all of last month. Here's a look back with reports from Susan Kimball.

Nurse Joanne Conaway fills in for Dr. Wallach. Joanne begins the show discussing gall bladder removal. Asserting that many doctors would have patients believe that it is an organ that is not necessary. Joanne outlines the importance of the gall bladder in breaking down fats taken into the body.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and nurse Joanne Conaway discuss a recent news article regard a study published in the British journal Lancet Oncology. The study found that women 45 and younger who have healthy ovaries removed during a hysterectomy and do not go on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) are twice as likely to die during the study period than those who still have ovaries. For the first time gynecological surgeons are starting to re-think the theory of removing health ovaries as a preventative measure to avoid ovarian cancer.

I am looking to cut my sleeping bag weight in half for a mid-Sept. John Muir trail hike. I carry a BD Firstlight tent(would not give it up to save a limb) so I can go with a higher temp rated bag with light shell material. Right now I carry a 2lb mountainsmith vision which is very warm if not overkill in Sept. in a tent. Also, I move around ALOT in my sleep and toss and turn. I am 6'2" and fairly broad shouldered. I current use a ridgerest but would like to upgrade to a torsolite or something similar. This would allow for a sleeping bag with no down in the bottom such as a sierra designs wicked fast. As far as layering, I am thinking a driclime and a baselayer will suffice. Or should I bring along my micro puff pullover?any suggestions?
Daniel,You may want to look at the following Rock and Ice article about light sleeping bags:http://tinyurl.com/bwsh4Rich
Edited by naturephoto1 on 08/10/2005 22:04:09 MDT.
I would look at some of the Western Mountaineering bags that are close to but not at 16 oz. The Highlite is 20 oz size large with stuff sack, and rated I think (I forget) at 45 degrees. I am 6'1 210 and had to sell it because it was too confining for me. Their are many WM bags that are nearly that weight that are quite good. Instead I would maybe look at at ID Sil Tarp/Equinox Bivy combo with the bag that you do have instead. Your weight would be the same and it would give you considerable options in sleeping at night. More times than not, I don't even pitch my tarp at night and sleep under the stars. I hike almost exclusively in The Sierras and just love sleeping under the stars every chance I get. If this does not work out for you, check out some WM bags.

Water: Industry Effluent Guidelines
Treatment Technology
EPA does not require the use or installation of particular technologies. Rather, the CWA requires operators to meet certain performance standards that are based on the proper operation of pollution prevention and treatment technologies identified by EPA during an effluent guidelines and pretreatment standards rulemaking.
Below are data sources that EPA uses when identifying pollution prevention and treatment technologies. EPA also conducts surveys, site visits, and sampling of industrial facilities to identify pollution prevention and treatment technologies.
- Treatability Database
- Vendor Information Database
- EPA's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV)
- EPA's Environmental Technology Opportunities Portal (ETOP)
- European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Bureau
- Canadian Wastewater Technology Centre (WTC)
Treatability Database
The NRMRL Treatability Data Base provides a review of the removal and/or destruction of chemicals in various types of media, including water, soil, debris, sludge and sediment. The treatability data summarizes the types of treatment used to treat specific compounds, the type of waste/wastewater treated, the size of the study/plant, and the treatment levels achieved. The data base currently contains over 1200 chemical compounds and almost 16,000 sets of treatability data.
EPA's Vendor Information Database
The Vendor Information is a database of more than 1,200 pollution prevention equipment, products, or services. This website allows you to find listings using a free text method, or by selecting from the various equipment categories.
EPA's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV)
The goal of EPA's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program is to further environmental protection by substantially accelerating the acceptance and use of improved, cost-effective technologies. ETV seeks to achieve this goal by providing high-quality, peer-reviewed data on technology performance to those involved in the design, distribution, financing, permitting, purchase, and use of environmental technologies.
EPA's Environmental Technology Opportunities Portal (ETOP)
The Environmental Technology Opportunities Portal (ETOP) links you to programs that help fund development of new environmental technologies and offers information on existing environmental technologies. EPA offers several programs to assist the public and private sectors in developing and commercializing new environmental technologies. This is done through financial, testing and verification support, and by promoting use and acceptance of a technology through collaborative, incentive, partnership and advocacy, and information programs.
European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Bureau
The European Union under the management of the European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Bureau (EIPPCB) has a set of common rules based on the concept of Best Available Techniques (BAT) for industrial discharges. These rules are incorporated into discharge permits to minimize pollution from industrial dischargers throughout the European Union.
Canadian Wastewater Technology Centre
The Environmental Technology Advancement Directorate's Wastewater Technology Centre (WTC) provides specialized science and technical, research and development support as well as demonstration and validation for Environment Canada (EC). Among other specialties, the WTC develops and assesses novel industrial and municipal wastewater treatment technologies. This work supports EC's efforts in pollution prevention, management of existing toxic substances, identification of new toxic substances and treatment technologies.

UConn snaps Florida's win streak, reaches final
TribLIVE Sports Videos
ARLINGTON, Texas — Connecticut didn't wait for the final buzzer to beat Florida this time.
The Huskies, the seventh seed in the East Regional, had outstanding games on both ends of the court to beat overall No. 1 seed Florida, 63-53, on Saturday night.
The win ended Florida's 30-game winning streak, which began after the Huskies beat the Gators, 65-64, on Dec. 2 on a buzzer-beating jumper by Shabazz Napier.
Napier helped seal this game with about two minutes to play when he made two free throws for a 59-47 lead. That margin was the deficit the Huskies faced in the opening minutes after a cold-shooting start.
"We have been in a lot of dogfights," Napier said. "We are just an experienced group. We believe in each other and continue to believe in each other. ... We are going to win. That is what we do."
With second-year coach Kevin Ollie in a defensive stance himself most of the game, the Huskies sidetracked the Florida offense by shutting down point guard Scottie Wilbekin and 3-point specialist Michael Frazier II, who scored a combined seven points.
The Huskies were impressive on offense, shooting 55.8 percent (24 of 43) from the field against a team that allowed opponents to shoot 39.9 percent this season.
"Everybody was at Level 5, and that was the most important thing," Ollie said. "Whomever I put in the game, it was positive, and they were productive."
The Huskies (31-8) will Kentucky for the national championship Monday night.
DeAndre Daniels had 20 points and 10 rebounds for Connecticut, and it was his two 3-pointers in a span of 1:43 that helped ignite the Huskies after they had fallen behind 16-4.
"DeAndre was huge for us," Ollie said. "He stepped up and really rebounded for us and was pretty much unstoppable."
Daniels was 9 of 14 from the field.
Napier didn't dominate, but he finished with 12 points and six assists. He got the better of Wilbekin in a matchup of senior point guards, both conference players of the year.
Napier had two key second-half steals on Wilbekin, both of which led to UConn baskets. Wilbekin was bothered by cramps throughout the game.
"It was right when the second half started. I was getting a little cramp. It wasn't too bad," Wilbekin said. "I got out of the game and got some ice, and it wasn't really a problem from then on."
The Connecticut guards were. Florida had 11 turnovers and a season-low three assists.
"That's crazy. That's not usually what we do," Wilbekin said. "All credit goes to them and their guards and the way they were denying and putting pressure on us."
Patric Young had 19 points for Florida (36-3), which had won all of its NCAA Tournament games by at least 10 points. The Gators shot just 38.8 percent from the field (19 of 49), well off their 46.1 percent average.
"I thought they played extremely well. Unfortunately for us, I didn't think it was one of our better games, and I think Connecticut had a lot to do with that," Florida coach Billy Donovan said.
"We got off to a very, very good start in the game, and the reason we got off to a good start was our defense was very, very good. Once they got their defense set, I thought we had a hard time dealing with their pressure up top."
Florida was 1 for 10 from 3-point range, and the Gators' most effective weapon through most of the game was an offensive rebound off a miss. They had 12 in the game and turned them into 13 points.
