Each summer the huge Snowmass ski area nine miles from Aspen in Colorado's Elk Range become a huge mountain biking mecca. A fast gondola plus a chairlift beyone it carry riders and their bikes to the top of the region known as Elk Camp, elevation 11,325 feet. From there mountain bikers have a vast network of trails from beginner to expert to roll through.
Downhilll fans get their kicks on a 4,000-foot single track descent beginning above tree line and ending in the high mountain desert. Although mountain biking has been a feature of Snowmass for more than 25 years, new trails have been added in recent years.
These include the signature trail Valhalla, giving Snowmass the most vertical feet of riding in Colorado and "over 50 miles of singletrack, cross-country, freeride and downhill terrain," according to the Aspen Skiing Company.
As rider Abby Eagye of Carbondale, Colo. noted, Valhalla was designed "by the people from Whistler" (the company Gravity Logic) so "it's special." Whistler is he Canadian eden for mountain bikers.
Snowmass recently added a new beginner trail to the system called Verde, Spanish for "green." (In skiing, the color green is used to denote the easiest runs on any mountain.) Bikers and ski company bike patrollers at Snowmass point out that this is the best way to separate newbies who may need to ride more slowly on difficult patches from the experienced riders who like to fly, especially on designated jumps.
Visitors who simply want to ride the gondola to the handsome Elk Camp restaurant and bar or to stroll around designated hikers-only trails gawk at the jumps they see beneath them.
"If you know what you're doing, you know how to make it work," Eagye said of the biggest jump. She is 44, "and I only started doing this at 40. It's really fun. I'm trying to get my 79-year old mother to try it."
The Elk Camp gondola is open daily from June 21, 2014 through Labor Day and on weekends through September. For details, see the Bike Snowmass information on the Aspen/Snowmass website.

Billy Joel, the undisputed "Piano Man" of classic pop-rock turns 64 today. In these 64 years, he's written some famously lovely songs ("She's Always a Woman," "And So It Goes") and romanced some famously lovely women (Elle Macpherson, Christie Brinkley), but what we're most fascinated with today is his aging process. Specifically that it's incredibly normal.
Let's take a look at his contemporaries. Bruce Springsteen has aged beautifully. Bob Dylan has aged poorly. Mick Jagger has aged weirdly. Meanwhile, Billy Joel has just kind of…aged. Take a peek:
Young Billy:
Middle Aged Billy:
Current Billy:
Has he aged poorly? No. Has he aged well? Not really. "Consistent" is an adjective you'd ascribe to both his music and his aging process. And that ain't a bad thing.
Happy Birthday Billy!

It's obvious that you love your instrument. You spent a lot of time checking out the different options to find the one that just "clicked" with your playing style and attitude, and now you're ready to rock. Or are you? See, it takes more than just a great instrument to hit the stage and change the world of popular music forever; you're also going to need some accessories. And regardless of which accessories you need, the odds are that you will be able to find them in this section.
Ask any musician and they will tell you they're only as good as their accessories. That's because great accessories can keep your instrument safe, and also enhance it when you're on the stage, in the studio, or just jamming at home.
So which accessories are right for you? Well, obviously that comes down to need and personal preference. There is no right or wrong answer, and there are literally thousands of options available here. For example, are you looking for a case to store your guitar? Then you may want to check out the Deluxe Electric Guitar Case from Musician's Gear or the Les Paul Hardshell Case from Epiphone. Maybe you'd rather a stand than a case? Then have a look at the GS525B Five-Instrument Guitar Rack from Hercules Stands or the Tubular Guitar Stand from Musician's Gear. Any of these stands and cases would be a worthy addition to any guitar player's collection.
Of course, we also carry cables for microphones, speakers, guitars, basses, and just about anything else that requires one. We have tuners such as the SN-1 Guitar and Bass Tuner from Snark and the DT-10 Digital Pedal Tuner from Korg. You'll even find desks for the recording studio and music stands for the orchestra in this section. Some of our top brands for Accessories are Musicians Gear, Planet Waves, Seymour Duncan, D'Addario, Mogami, and much more. Accessories are absolutely integral items for any musician. Take a look around, find the perfect items for you, and watch as your skills truly begin to flourish.

The New Orleans Saints could receive some much needed salary cap relief as the 2014 NFL salary cap is expected to reach $130 million, according to ESPN. The shift would place the Saints at nearly $5 million under the salary cap with the network's latest having the Saints top 51 players at around $125.3 million.
The reported jump may not appear like much, as the cap could jump five percent from last season's $123 million. But for a team like the cash-strapped Saints, this potential additional money could aid New Orleans as it searches for every piece of spare change this offseason.
While any additional space allowed by the NFL would help the Saints, the potential new-found money won't solve all of the team's problems as the Saints try to navigate through their own potential free agents right now and other free agents starting March 11.
The looming contract tussle between the Saints and tight end Jimmy Graham will begin in earnest once the Saints place the franchise tag on Graham. The team will undoubtedly tag Graham, which would be a one-year deal at least $6.7 million. The franchise tag figure would increase slightly with the additional cap space so the tight end tag figure would be higher than $6.7 million.
Graham is expected to file a grievance with the league immediately after being tagged as a tight end, according to NFL Network, as Graham will argue he should be tagged as a wide receiver. The projected difference between being tagged as a tight end or a wide receiver is more than $4.5 million in favor of a wide receiver.
But the Saints still wouldn't currently possess the cap space even with the potential bump to have Graham immediately sign the franchise tag as a tight end. So the team will still have to shed salary along the roster to sign Graham or any other free agents like safety Malcolm Jenkins, tackle Zach Strief and center Brian de la Puente to name a few.

Natural Gas Basing Ahead of Thursday's EIA Report
Rod David
Corrective rally or recovery? Either way there is potential for a surge.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
Natural gas has been creeping upward, poised at resistance for Thursday's EIA report to launch a new rally leg.
Dollar Basket
Sep Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Ranging narrowly Wednesday produced an inside day that doesn't yet signal trending, while making an attempt to extend down likely to recover and possibly reverse the trend back up.
Sep Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
The extended pullback did not react up Wednesday, and only ranged narrowly sideways. Still no signal until a rally effort fails.
Oct Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Tuesday's dip was largely retraced Wednesday, at least to probe back above the 1330.50 pullback limit which had failed to hold Tuesday. Back above 1339.00 would signal the rally had resumed.
Sep Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Fresh highs Wednesday probed above the rally's 21.50 target that had been fulfilled Tuesday, further testing "higher prior lows" above 21.80. There is room up to 22.00 before dipping back under 21.50 would signal momentum reversing down.
30-year Treasury
Sep Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Gapping down so sharply Tuesday was a shock to the system that Wednesday's sideways ranging spent time absorbing. The inside day did not reverse momentum, which should resume its decline without much further delay.
Crude Oil
Sep Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
Thursday's firming back up through 106.50 to test 107.00 has little reason to further delay launching an obvious rally leg. Pullbacks meanwhile should recover aggressively from any probe under 106.00.
Natural Gas
Sep Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Price continued firming Wednesday, testing the 3.36 resistance whose recovery would launch a new upleg.

In windows Vista Home Premium x64 using uTorrent, how can I make the download(s) faster?
EDIT: What are recommended settings for QoS?
In windows Vista Home Premium x64 using uTorrent, how can I make the download(s) faster?
EDIT: What are recommended settings for QoS?
Copy/Paste Sources: - Official doc: connection guide - Torrentfreak: - Speed up your torrents - Speed up your torrents II - Optimize Your BitTorrent Download Speed - And more information on the official forum: - If you have speed issues read here first - Conservative Settings Chart (Alternate Speed Guide for uTorrent)
I've been using torrents for about 8 years.
The most important things in Torrent Dloading ;
1-Your bandwidth
2-Torrent tracker
These two items are enough for best torrent downloads...
Also, I am not sure if this is just a Virgin Media thing or a limitation on DOCSIS based networks, but I know when I was on Virgin, you should set a download and upload limit at last 30% lower than the maximum speeds otherwise there is a fault in the modem/router that makes everything slow to a crawl / timeout.
Lastly, just remember, peoples upload speed is a fraction of their download (on the majority of torrent)... you just have to be patient and if there are LOTS of leechers compared to seeders, just be calm and wait your turn!
Under Options -> Preferences -> Bandwidth check to ensure you don't have a limit set on transfer speed:
That will of course slow you down if it is set low.
You may also want to prioritize bittorrent traffic in your router so it has a higher priority than http for example. My siblings like using YouTube constantly, so it used to wreak havoc on my online gaming experience until I played with QoS a little.

The question of why the innocent suffer goes all the way back to the ancient book of Job. The first verse declares Job an innocent man, yet he suffers horrifically. His three friends believe a form of Karma, "God gives what you deserve," so they declare Job must have blown it or he wouldn't be suffering.
Job argues with them and with God. The "friends" claim to defend God yet actually defend their preconceived beliefs. Job accuses God of being unjust, declaring that if he could plead his case before an unbiased judge, he would rule in his favor, finding God in the wrong.
Job aggressively questions God, demanding answers. He even tells God that He made a mistake when He let him take his first breath! Yet when God finally replies, Job is speechless. One glimpse of God silences him even though God doesn't answer a single one of his questions.
To the friends God says, "You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has." What is the difference? The friends spoke about God, defending their preconceived beliefs. Job spoke directly to God, wrestling with suffering and God's unexplainable nature.
Why do the innocent suffer? I couldn't answer that by writing 300 books let alone 300 words. However, I am thankful God welcomes my questions. Thankful He isn't angry with me for asking or even shouting "WHY?" In fact the ones with whom I see Him frustrated, are those who think they have the answers yet refuse to look honestly at the realities in front of them. Those who are afraid to look because looking requires questioning what they believe. There are no simple answers, but suffering provides an opportunity to know God when we wrestle with and talk to Him rather than about Him.
Darrell submitted the article above in response to the May 11, 2013 Lawrence Journal World Faith Forum question: "Why does God allow events that kill innocent people, like the recent Texas fertilizer plant explosion and the Boston bombings?" He explains more in his Embrace The Spiritual Journey message.

Redistricting Reaches Kentucky Supreme Court
(2012-02-14)FRANKFORT, KY (wkms) - Kentucky's legislative district dispute is now in the hands of the state Supreme Court. The Court confirmed late yesterday the case had been sent up directly from the state Court of Appeals. Earlier in the day, lawmakers had taken the case to the appeals court, asking to overturn a judge's ruling last week that threw out the redrawn legislative district maps. In the appeal, the Legislative Research Commission says Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd effectively drew a new map when he threw out the bill that set lines for the 2012 elections. Lawmakers say drawing districts is a power reserved solely for them. LRC attorney Sheryl Snyder asked the appeals court to pass the case directly to the Kentucky Supreme Court. © Copyright 2016, wkms

That first half was mind bending. Brisbane looked like they were headed for 70 after racing to a 24-0 lead after 21 minutes. It seemed as good as over and the Knights weren't even close to being in the game. But hang on... what's this? A few penalties, some possession and all of a sudden, the Knights pile on three of their own to make it 26-18 at halftime. The defence was awful but it was great to watch.
The Knights fired the first shot in the second half as well. Richie Fa'aoso scored under the posts in the 57th minute and Newcastle trailed by just two points. Surely the Broncos can't lose it from here? They didn't. The Knights ran out of puff spectacularly, with an avalanche of late tries earning Brisbane the half century. Whatever snapped them out of their slumber should be bottled and exported.
Peter Wallace was the man for the Broncos. The halfback's defence is first-class and he sparked Brisbane's late run, setting up tries for Hodges and Hoffman as Brisbane stampeded the Knights at the tail end of the game. Why he has been marked as 'not for Origin' is completely beyond me.
Matt Gillett is a brilliant player. No doubt. But his defence at times is suspect. He made a few bad reads today, helping the Knights get back into the game as it opened up around his post in the middle. It's a clear area of the game where he needs to improve. I'm sure Ricky Stuart has noticed.
FULLTIME Brisbane 50 Newcastle 24.
79th min TRY to Hoffman. Copley bust down the left, back inside and Wallace rounds up his fullback with an inside ball under the sticks. Simple, yet elegant. It's going to be 50-24. Anybody else reckon Wallace is better than Mitchell Pearce? I do. But I'm a Queenslander so that doesn't realy count.
78th min Perfect Parker kicks it from in front. It's 44-24 and the Knights are mentally on the bus to the airport.
76th min Andrew McCullough dummies after a scoot and goes over for the TRY. The Knights have given up the ghost now. Simple stuff, tired defence and it's 42-24 to Brisbane. It's turned out to be a bit of a hiding after all.
75th min Houston body slams Glenn to the turf. That pair have not got on well this afternoon. A few Knights players down now after what looks to be a clash of heads. Joel Edwards v Costigan. Costigan wins. Brisbane 38 Newcastle 24.
71st min TRY to the Broncos. Hodges finishes off a 60m move that started with a superb ball from Pete Wallace to Gerard Beale. Positioned his centre beautifully in the two-on-one and the Origin star cruises over. That's how you do it, South Sydney. Brisbane well clear now and lead 38-24.
68th min What about these missed tackle stats - the Knights have missed 28 and Brisbane 25. That's more than 50 in the game. Cameron Smith makes that many every week. Broncos lead 32-24.
65th min Captain's knock from Thaiday. That's a TRY and he couldn't get more under the posts if he got some surveyors in to mark the spot. Throws the dummy off the back of that penalty, which was against Houston for being third-man-in during a scuffle between Glenn and Boyd. Houston was captain at the time. Costly result. Wallace kicks it (Parker off the field) and Brisbane lead 32-24.
63rd min Mullen throw a poor pass to the feet of Naiqama. Actually, if it was supposed to go to the feet of Naiqama if was a great pass. Right on target. Reed loses it for the Broncos and they are going horribly at the moment. The Knights a massive chance here! Now a scuffle and the penalty goes to... Brisbane! Huge decision. Third man in penalty against Houston. Broncos lead 26-24.
60th min Big finish looming here as the Knights get it back to just a two-point deficit. The Broncos haven't fired a shot since the 20th minute. Some of these defensive errors from Gillett today have been fairly glaring. Is he playing his way out of an Origin jumper? Probaby not but he needs to pick things up. Now Brisbane throw a forward pass working their way out of their half - Wallace to Hodges. More strife for the Broncos, who lead 26-24.
57th min Uate takes another cross-kick, this time from Norman. I wonder if the cross-kick has become such a default play in the game these days that playmakers don't really have a good look at their fifth-tackle options near the opposing tryline. We saw in the Origin the Blues kick it relentlessly to Brent Tate and the Broncos have been guilty of repetition today. Penalty to the Knights now after Glenn takes out the man off the ball and Knights are in! TRY to Richie Fa'aoso! Bad read again from Gillett and the Knights trail 26-24.
55th min McGuire pinged for a high shot on Chris Adams. Crowd here is 26,683 which isn't great for a Sunday but there has been fears of big storms this afternoon. Both sides really settling into a grinding pattern of play after that amazing first half, where the Broncos took a 24-0 lead after 23 minutes onto see the Knights get it back to 24-18 by halftime. When the coaches said it's 0-0 in the second half, the players really took it to heart.
50th min Boyd had a run to the line and fell on his back, dropping the ball as he spun to plant it. Bit of a howler really and that could cost his side dearly. Brisbane lead 26-18 and more errors creeping into this game. Broncos cough it up through Parker just as his side was looking dangerous.
49th min Copley drops it in the tackle and Brisbane are going to be under some pressure of their own. If they lose this game going into an Origin week after blowing a 24-0 lead, Anthony Griffin is going to have to take stress leave. Has Boyd scored here? Hold on! He's lost it! Butchered the try!
46th min Joel Edwards puts it on the deck and Brisbane get the scrum 20m out from the Knights line. If this goes to plan, you would assume they would score. Nope.... the Knights show a bit on their line in defence and Corey Norman caught with it on the fifth tackle. Good pressure without the ball from the Knights. Brisbane 26 Newcastle 18.
43rd min This half literally minutes old and still no tries. These guys need to learn this game is about entertainment. Brisbane lead 26-18 as the Knights get a little sniff down the left edge. Lovely cover from Peter Wallace. Great defender for a number seven.
41st min Almost 30 seconds of play in the second half and nobody has scored a try. What a yawnfest.
HALFTIME Brisbane 26 Newcastle 18. What a bizarre and brilliant half of football. Defence not on the menu this afternoon.
39th min I cannot believe what I am seeing. Mullen goes 79m to score but he's called back for being offside after the Wallace grubber rebounded off Houston. That's a tough call if you ask me but it's no try. Now Brisbane get a penalty almost in front and Parker will try to earn an extra two points right before the break. It's Brisbane 24 Knights 18.
35th min TRY to the Knights! Buderus under the posts as the Knights go 65m! Boyd stands up Matt Gillett and makes the break to set up the veteran hooker under the sticks. Unbelievable stuff. I wouldn't have believed if 20 minutes ago. Gillett missed a shocker midfield and it's, wait for it, 24-18 to Brisbane after the Broncos lead 24-0 after 23 minutes. It's a half of two halves.
33rd min Head above water? Better that that. There's a TRY for the Knights and suddenly it's 24-10. Wes Naiqama goes over in the corner and converts his own try to make it 24-12. You could have got 100s for that scoreline the way this game opened but, hey, that's footy for ya. It's Brisbane 24 Newcastle 12.
31st min Uate has been a rock under the high ball and is tested by Wallace again. And yet another penalty to the Knights as they get a welcome piggy back from their own end. Poor discipline from Brisbane helping the Novacastrians keep their head above water. Broncos 26 Knights 6.
28th min The conversion is good and it's 24-6 to Brisbane. I wouldn't exactly say we've got a game on our hands but they Knights at least stopped Brisbane's destructive scoring swathe. And another penalty to the Knights. Cards falling their way at the moment.
26th min Knights get a third set in succession after a penalty against the Broncos. They must score you would think and they have. Danny Buderus dives over from dummy half for the TRY. It wasn't pretty but it counts. Brisbane 24 Knights 4.
25th min Hoffman cleans up the Newcastle kick and they repel the only Newcastle raid. They've had 63 per cent of the ball Brisbane but the Knights get another set from this drop out. Booooo.... let's see more tries. Brisbane 24 Knights 0.
23rd min Corey Parker can't lose. From the sideline again! He's automatic this afternoon. Broncos lead 24-0 and this is already hideously ugly for the Knights. But Hannant spills it so they get a rare chance to attack.
21st min TRY to Brisbane! Parker slices them open but for some odd reason, brushes the support of Hodges. Didn't matter. It was spun wide and Copley scores in the corner. Brisbane beat Newcastle 71-6 in 2007 so have some way to go before it reaches that sort of depravity. But it's on the cards. Broncos 22 Knights 0.
20th min Parker has found some touch with the boot today. Floats one over from the other side this time and Brisbane not far short of a point per minute. They lead 18-0 and Newcastle are going to cop a flogging in Brisbane once again if they can't show some will in defence.
18th min Civoniceva demolishes Costigan and forces the turnover. Brisbane away again here and the Knights will do well to hold on. They can't - not even close. Awful, awful defence and Hodges simply catches it and romps over. TRY to the Broncos and it's 16-0.
16th min Parker sends a dart of a kick over the dot from the angle and gets his side a 12-0 lead. Knights not being close to getting into the game at this stage. Very dangerous signs for them unless they can force a mistake from the Broncos and get some decent ball.
13th min Parker goes close and the Knights getting pumped. Parker threw a crazy pass and obviously didn't hear the call for a fresh set of six after Uate contested the kick. Brisbane back with the ball now and have absolutely owned this game in terms of territory. Knights playing it all down their own end. Surely they can't hold on and there is the TRY to Jack Reed. Just caught them short on the left, dummied and slammed it down. Broncos lead 10-0 with a kick on the way.
9th min J Hodges putting on a clinic at the moment today. Turning the Knights left-hand defence in circles every time he touches the ball. Brisbane just have that look of a side who could rack up a score today. Of course, I'm generally never right, so take that prediction as you will. Brisbane lead 6-0.
7th min The Wallace cross-kick was too deep and Uate beats a horde of chasers to mark it in goal. He tries to tap it on the 20m line but is incapable of that seemingly simple act. He had to go back and attempt it three times before working it out. Momentum killer. Broncos 6 Knights 0.
6th min The Knights offside from the kick-off! Lunacy! Absolute lunacy! Brisbane lead 6-0 and end up attacking about 30 seconds after the conversion of the previous try.
3rd min TRY to Brisbane. Hodges had his fingerprints all over that. Sets it up for Gerard Beale who steps Boyd, the Origin specialist, and goes over after for an easy try. The Knights looked brittle there. It's 6-0.
1st min We're away folks. That Dwayne Bennett guy is back in town (used to coach here, I've heard) and his Knights get the first touch on what's turned out to be a decent afternoon following a night of rain, rain - a short break - and more rain. Just the four wins for Newcastle this season. Anybody still like them for the premiership?
Preamble Thanks for joining me football fans. I'm in Brisbane as the Broncos and Knights both try to break three-game losing streaks. Brisbane banked plenty of early season wins and are third before this game, while the Knights are battling away in 13th.
If the typing goes a bit wobbly during the coverage, it will just be the tears slowly rolling down my face and onto the keyboard after the Rabbitohs lost last night. Anybody know why Farrell dived about 25m out from the line? Anyone?

We first mentioned the idea of an evaluation theory tree to Bob Stake. He told us that a number of years ago, he had students create a classroom project in which they built an evaluation mobile. Imagine Ralph Tyler or Donald Campbell each having important places at the top of this mobile, with pieces of string connecting to other theorists floating in space, often connected in a horizontal fashion with others who influenced them, all the while dangling in space and constantly moving. The image is most intriguing, but clearly, although it is possible to do this in a classroom, it is not something that is easily depicted on paper. We laud the idea, however, of thinking systematically about the relationships between evaluation theorists. Clearly, Bob demonstrated a high level of ingenuity—something that has been consistent in all his work. When Alkin (2002) presented the idea of an evaluation theory ...

According to sources, the only difference between Marlboro Reds and Marlboro 83s is the length difference. Marlboro 83s are slightly longer. Some tobacco users report that they think that there is a slight taste difference, with the 83 being smoother, or "mellower." Marlboro Reds and associated Marlboro products are Phillip Morris products.
Phillip Morris USA originally marketed its cigarette to women, and early brands had a printed red band around the filter to hide the lipstick stains. They began to market to men in the 1950s after scientists published reports on the dangers of cigarettes. Because people thought that filtered cigarettes were safer, and the current Marlboros being marketed to women had filters, Phillip Morris sought to target the men who wanted a safer cigarette. This was the beginning of the Marlboro cowboy era of advertising.
Philip Morris USA supports QuitAssist.com. It and other Altria tobacco companies designed the free information resource to help connect adult tobacco users who have decided to quit to expert cessation information from public health authorities and others. QuitAssist suggests five keys for quitting smoking.
In the news, the Illinois Supreme Court has announced it will hear Philip Morris USA's appeal of a $10.1 billion verdict accusing the Altria Group Inc unit of misleading consumers about the risks of smoking "light" cigarettes. Find out more from Reuters.

"That horrible phrase—'It will happen when you least expect it'—people mean so well, but my impulse was to stick a fork in my eye," says Laura Linney, who is feistier than her fine-boned beauty would suggest. Sitting in a Manhattan restaurant, nibbling edamame, she is thinking back to a time when her career was skyrocketing but her personal life was in a slump. Divorced in 2001 after a five-year marriage to actor David Adkins, she was nominated that year for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for You Can Count on Me. Suddenly she was landing roles in prestige movies (Mystic River, Kinsey) and winning both Emmy awards (Wild Iris, Frasier) and her first Tony nomination (The Crucible). But she discovered that her newfound prominence came at a price. "It was weirdly isolating," she says. "The more successful I became, everyone took a slight step back. I didn't know what to make of it. I was brokenhearted."
By the time she flew to Colorado to promote Kinsey at the 2004 Telluride Film Festival, accompanied by her mother, she was resigned to being self-sufficiently single. "I had given up," she recalls. Greeted at the airport by a VIP host—local real estate broker Marc Schauer—she was relieved to discover that he was not "a painfully awkward, strange chap, as some of them can be." Later that day, she had a second, startling reaction. "I was alone with Marc. I remember turning and looking at him—Oh my God, am I attracted to my handler? I thought, Calm down," she recalls. "But there was a part of me that was very relieved. I felt like something was waking up. I thought, How wonderful that I can feel this again."
Linney is laughing as she tells this story, looking forward later in the week to the first anniversary of her wedding to Schauer. "Marc has been a gift," says the actress, who is wearing black jeans, a black sweater and a black jacket, her blond hair flowing loosely around her animated face. "I'm learning a lot from him about joie de vivre. I know really well how to work; the life part is harder for me, and he pushes me to live a bit. We laugh a lot."
Her recent domestic bliss is welcome news to her friends. "I had been telling her for a long time, 'You need to date out of your species,' " says Jeanne Tripplehorn, a Juilliard classmate in the 1980s. "She had been with other actors, and it hadn't gone so well. Marc adores her, she adores him." Says Liam Neeson, who costarred with Linney in Kinsey and The Crucible and has a country home near the actress's Connecticut refuge: "We all fell in love with Marc because he is so supportive of her. He'll sit there and listen to all our boring actor stories and guffaw louder than anyone. She seems very, very happy, which is terrific to see."
Now that Linney has settled one of the big personal questions, she is focusing on another: how to get the most meaning and pleasure out of life. It's a theme that extends to her new project, the Showtime series The Big C, in which she portrays a married schoolteacher who is told she has stage 4 melanoma and only one year to live. The pilot for this unusual show has genuinely funny moments in which Linney's cautious character breaks out by playing a mischievous trick on her son, doing cartwheels in her school's hallway and standing up to her comically childish husband, played by Oliver Platt. Yet even as she tries to reconnect in more meaningful ways with her loved ones, she keeps her devastating news a secret. "She has a husband who is a baby, a son who is a brat, a brother who is eccentric and homeless, and there is no real intimacy anywhere," Linney says. "If she tells any of them, they couldn't handle it."
Linney was drawn to the show because "I've been really thinking about my life, where I've come from and what I need, what's good for me," she says. "At my age—midforties—time and living take on deeper meaning. All this stuff was percolating in my brain, and I thought, Oh, this could be interesting. If you knew you only had a year to live, how would you spend that time?"
The series is set for a 13-episode run, and there could be future seasons, despite the character's time-limited plight. "The episodes take place through a summer," Linney says. "They're slowing time down." Besides being the star of the show, she is an executive producer. "I'm learning what that means. The most important thing is that if I have an idea, I don't have to keep my mouth shut," she says with a wicked laugh.
Weeks later, during a visit to the set of The Big C in Stamford, Connecticut, I witness the production's delicate balancing act between serious and smile inducing. On this humid June day, Linney is shooting a scene in a school corridor with castmates Gabourey Sidibe (Precious), who plays a student, and Idris Elba (The Wire), as an artist painting a mural called Dream. She scolds the girl for flirting with the artist, then proceeds to do the same herself, telling him the dream theme is "really corny." He counters by saying he didn't design it but likes its positivity. "And then all those dreams get crushed by reality," Linney retorts, playing each take with an edgy charm, trying out a symphony of variations in an amused tone of voice. When her shoulder bag catches on a doorknob and ruins a take, she bursts into laughter, and everyone else joins in.
"We're doing a 'comedy' about cancer, and it's so easy to go wrong in trying to achieve that," says Robert Greenblatt, Showtime's president of entertainment. "The comedy has to come from the reality of the situation. I think Laura's alone in her class in being able to do something like that." He adds that Linney cares so much about the ambience that she personally oversaw the outfitting of the cast's dressing rooms. "It was important to her what furniture and creature comforts they had," he says. "She just wants everyone to have a great time on the set."
During a break, Linney joins me on the sidelines, perching on a director's chair. Now that she is putting in 14-hour days, I ask whether she is wired at night. "No, I'm engaged," she says. "Wired happens when you know you're not connecting. When you're in it, you love the people and it's going well, you're making sure you're doing the best job you can."
It was perhaps inevitable that Linney would become an actress, although her goal was a life on Broadway. "I never thought I'd be in film and TV, ever—that is the big surprise," she says. The daughter of Romulus Linney, a playwright and professor, and Ann Leggett, a nurse, Linney was only six months old when her parents split up. "It was not a good divorce," she says diplomatically. Although Linney successfully embodied a rich-bitch Upper East Side mom in The Nanny Diaries, that universe did not resemble her own middle-class latchkey Manhattan childhood. "The biggest misconception about me is that I came from great wealth, and I didn't," she says. "There was no money growing up."
She was not initially close to her father. "I spent every other weekend with him, but it was never large chunks of time," she says, adding that they often attended plays or movies. "Poor guy, he didn't know what to do with a five-year-old." Her mother worked at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. "I was the only kid from a divorced family at school, and my mother worked really, really hard, night shifts and days," she says. "I'm really proud of her."
Her father remarried twice—Linney has a half sister, Susan—and her mother wed the owner of a movie-theater supply company, Harry Perse, who died in 1998. Linney speaks of her stepfather with great affection, saying, "He would be so excited and proud if he knew what had happened to me, that I had been to the Oscars. He would be beside himself."
Unhappy at school in New York, she applied at age 13 for admission to the Northfield Mount Hermon boarding school in Massachusetts and then persuaded her parents to let her attend. Once there, she maintained her interest in her father's world, the theater. "Whether it was genetics or an influence or a desire for connection, I don't know, but I'm grateful for whatever it was," says Linney, who won leading roles in school productions.
Working with autistic and deaf children while in high school led her to "toy with becoming an audiologist" while at Northwestern University, she says, but she ended up transferring to Brown and majoring in theater arts. "Onstage, she was very self-confident, very intense, very sure of herself, a commanding person," says Willis Sparks, an actor turned geopolitical consultant who dated Linney at Brown and has remained close. "Offstage, she was none of those things. There was something apologetic about her. She was afraid that the fact that she got the big roles alienated people." During her senior year, she pondered long and hard about whether she should star in a campus production of one of her father's best-known plays, Childe Byron. In the end, she seized the opportunity—"I thought, Here's a safe place for me to do it," she says—and it turned out to be an emotionally gratifying father-daughter experience. As she puts it, "The theater is common ground for us." (Many years later, she suggested her father for a bit part in Kinsey. "He was called in to audition and got the part," she says. "That was a fun day.")
Graduate work in the drama division of the Juilliard School in New York came next. Tripplehorn, who was perpetually tardy to classes, recalls the first time she and Linney met. "Laura walked up and introduced herself and said, 'You cannot be late to Juilliard. You're going to get kicked out. I will give you a wake-up call.' " And so the two-decade-long friendship of these strikingly different women—"She was very Broadway, I was very rock and roll," Tripplehorn says—began with Linney rousing her friend out of bed each morning.
During her third year at Juilliard, Linney experienced a terrifying bout of stage fright. "My concentration was gone. I'd come offstage and burst into tears," she says. When a favorite teacher heard that she was considering dropping out, he sought her out to say, "This is where you're supposed to fail. You have to allow yourself to be bad, or you don't learn." Linney shudders even now at the memory of feeling so vulnerable. "I went to the head of the program and said, 'Let me push furniture. I don't want to say anything—I just need to be onstage as much as I can.' I did that, and it helped get my confidence back." Says Sparks: "If courage is being scared of something and then doing it, that's Laura."
Linney has been a working actress ever since she graduated from Juilliard in 1990 and landed her first job, as an understudy in the play Six Degrees of Separation. She was so eager to see her name in the Playbill that she ripped one out of the bound stack, ran to the ladies' room and in the privacy of the stall saw herself listed as Lavro Linney. "I started to laugh," she says. "I thought, Serves you right. Don't ever let it be that important." (Lavro has since become a jokey nickname she uses with friends.)
Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Donald Margulies still vividly remembers seeing Linney perform during casting sessions for his play Sight Unseen in 1991. "She auditioned along with dozens of ingenues. This lovely blond, bold young woman came in and began reading. Everyone in the room is suddenly leaning forward and saying, 'Who is she?' " Margulies recalls, lauding the actress's "to-die-for dimples" and "gorgeous vocal quality." Linney was cast as the young German journalist in the play; 13 years later, in a revival of the show, she played the leading female role, an artist's former lover and muse, and was nominated for a Tony. She scored another Tony nod this year for her work in Margulies's Time Stands Still and will return to that play on Broadway this month.
Widely admired by her peers, the hardworking Linney is perceived as a risk taker in her performances, willing to be unattractive, to be nude, to physically contort herself if the part requires it. "She just jumps right in," says Daniel Sullivan, the director of Time Stands Still. He was worried that Linney might injure herself while wearing the heavy leg brace required for her character, a badly wounded war photographer, but he reports that her reaction was, "Who cares?" Sullivan says, "She's extremely strong." Adds Neeson: "She's like Meryl Streep in that way. She just lets it hang out, no vanity at all." Of her nude scenes, Linney jokes, "I'm a real tart. I've been naked in a lot of movies. If I feel that the nudity in some way will add to the story or the understanding of the character, I'll do it."
At an age—46—when many actresses panic at the sight of a wrinkle, Linney professes to be happy with her reflection in the mirror. "I feel like I'm getting better looking as I get older," she says. "It's true. I'm sort of trying to be friends with it and say, Look, there's a little bit of my grandmother there." Tripplehorn says the two of them have made a pact: "We're not going under the knife, we're not going to do Botox. We're both very committed to approaching life gracefully."
But for Linney the subject of aging touches something much deeper as well. "I have a lot of friends who've died way too young," she says. "And I'm a little angry about it. It makes me very upset at the whole viewpoint that there's something wrong with aging when it is a privilege to grow old."
One good friend she lost was Neeson's wife, actress Natasha Richardson, who died in a skiing accident last year. "I was just thinking about this, in relation to Tash," Neeson says, "that Laura would always proffer great advice, of a personal nature or a delicacy in one's relationship: 'Have you thought about this?' She'd never bang you over the head with it."
Richardson's tragic accident, says Linney, "changed all of our lives. Those of us who knew and loved her and benefited from her incredible talent, we'll never be the same." When Linney got the news, she was in the midst of a self-imposed sabbatical from work, living in Telluride. She and Schauer had set a date to marry, even though she'd been in no rush to make it legal. "The wedding was much more important to Marc than it was to me," she says. "I was so happy to be engaged. I loved introducing him to people as my fiancé."
When Richardson died in March 2009, "we actually thought about postponing [the May wedding]," Linney says. "She would have been there. Of all my friends, she was the one who was most annoyed that we were taking so long. She was so happy when we got engaged, and she kept saying, 'When is this wedding happening?' We were on the phone a lot about the plans."
But the couple decided to proceed with a small ceremony in Linney's Connecticut backyard. "We all needed something to be happy about," the actress says. And when it came time for the bride to make her entrance, "I realized I needed someone, and I thought, Where's Liam?" Linney says. Adds Sparks: "Laura went up to Liam and said, 'Walk me down the aisle.' And Liam wasn't about to say no. I remember thinking it was heroic of him just to show up, but he wanted to be there for Laura."
Lately Linney has taken to heart suggestions from friends that she pay more attention to her health. She is working out more and experimenting with a largely vegetarian diet. (She isn't counting calories, though—at our lunch she orders and devours a vegan chocolate–peanut butter dessert.) "Jeanne called me up and said, 'OK, that's it, no more. We've got to get our acts together,' " says Linney. Adds Tripplehorn: "I've been on her for a year and a half. This is a nice little tipping point—we've got to start taking care of ourselves." Alicia Silverstone, who costarred with Linney in Time Stands Still and is the vegan author of The Kind Diet, has also been an influence. "Alicia opened my eyes," Linney says. "I'm still figuring it out, but I feel much better having a more vegetarian or vegan diet. I do still eat meat occasionally, but instead of a diet that's 90 percent meat based and 10 percent plant based, it's now the reverse."
She and Schauer have a home in Telluride, but he has quit his job and is contemplating a new career. "He's reassessing his life just as I'm reassessing mine, trying to figure out what to do next," she says. "He's probably going to go back to school in social work." At first, she says, she was "flipped out" that he wouldn't understand her life as an actress. "The obsession, the time, the travel—I wasn't sure anyone could handle that, and why should they? 'See ya, I'm going away for four months.' " But none of it has fazed Schauer, and "I am so deeply thankful for him," Linney says.
Ask her friends what surprises them about her personality, and they gleefully oblige. Neeson says she forwards him hilarious, vulgar comic routines from YouTube: "She just sent me another one. I know it will be absolutely disgusting and gut-laughingly funny." Tripplehorn was startled when Linney, accompanying her and her son, now eight, on a trip to Disneyland, insisted on riding the scariest roller coaster. "She's quite the daredevil," Tripplehorn says. "It made me sick just to think about it. She rode it over and over again."
Yet Linney, fingering her modern, custom-made wedding band, is enjoying quieter thrills these days. "I really like being married," says the actress, who as our interview concludes is going off to rendezvous with her husband. "Marriage is a great adventure."

Sometimes I hear the emphasis placed on the second syllable, and other times on the second to last syllable. I myself use both pronunciations depending on context, and it makes me wonder if there is an underlying rule that I can't quite put my finger on.

The two pronunciations of Caribbean I know of are mentioned in Wikipedia:
Both are standard; however, there are a couple proper nouns containing the word Caribbean that have a fixed pronunciation:
I personally make a sort of generalization from this and use #1 for the noun usage and #2 for the adjective usage, but there is no reason anyone else should use this rule unless they like it. Most people probably just stick to one preferred pronunciation.
Billy Ocean uses #1 in his song "Caribbean Queen", as does Bob Dylan in his song "Caribbean Wind".
In the UK, the stress is usually on the second to last syllable, cariBBEan. I have heard North Americans say "caRIBbean" and "cariBBEan". I think the first one is more common in the USA. Which one is correct? That is one of those "poteyto/potahto" questions.
its not about how americans or brits pronounce it, people in the west indies say cariBBEan. they live there, how can anyone argue with that?
Judy Garland Mack The Black ('The Pirate', 1948)
"There's a pirate, known to fame Black Macocco was the Pirate's name In his day, the tops was he Round the CaribBEan or CaRIBbean Sea"
So unless you disagree with Judy Garland, either's possible. Case closed, I think.

Everybody wants film festival darling Brit Marling after her sci-fi drama debut, Another Earth, garnered praise at Sundance earlier this year. Now Vulture is reporting that the writer-actress is being courted by some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Steven Soderbergh and Robert Redford. Marling has her pick of several projects and has already said no to one while she sorts out the start date for her latest script.
Do one of these projects sound at home with the bright and unassuming actress, or do you see more indie films in her near future?

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – An iPhone release date 2013 is prompting an Apple announcement this September 10, 2013. When is the release date for the iPhone 5s, when is iPhone 6 getting released, and what will be revealed at the live Apple announcement press conference scheduled for September 10, 2013? Apple loves September press conferences. On September 12, 2012, a live iPhone 5 Apple news conference revealed a fall release date and pricing on the then new device. Expected the same thing to happen this month from Apple.
The iPhone release date is expected to be announced by Apple September 10, insiders tell news. Many reports claim that the Apple announcement will unveil the iPhone release date as early as September 15 and as late as September 28. Several news reports claim that the release date will be on September 20, 2013.
The new phone will feature iOS7. It will boast fingerprint detection security measures. And a possible new feature will be a gold iPhone, dubbed a "champagne" color. China Times writes "The iPhone 5S outgoing will support NFC and fingerprint recognition, fingerprint is more security than passwords, fingerprints can not be copied and will not be stolen, most secure mobile payment device allows Apple iPhone 5S." It adds "This is supported by the fact that numerous analysts predicted the iPhone 5S could include fingerprint technology including Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who posted in January an Apple roadmap for 2013."

Mindfulness or "insight meditation" can be translated as a clear awareness of exactly what is happening as it happens. Analogically, "mindful eating" is being aware of why, how and when you eat. Here are some concepts that will help you change the way you eat and treat food :
Start with "healing" your mind. Without a healthy mind, no diet or treatment will ever work ! Like meditation, setting a daily healthy eating habit requires determination and discipline. It requires a healthy mind first of all.
Our life flows moment by moment, never the same, always changing, yet we tend to try to make the impossible possible by grabing onto "good" thoughts, "good" perceptions, "good" events. When we are outside the "good" we feel miserable and unsatisfied. We push away and deny everything that we perceive as "bad". This constant race after pleasure, ignoring most of our experiences because they bring us "pain" is actually the reason why we feel so unhappy. And when we are in the "neutral" area, when neither "good" or "bad" is happening, then we consider life boring. When our drive is satisfied, then we feel relieved and relaxed. Try to find ways to heal your mind and relieve stress, negative thoughts and emotional pain, using techniques like meditation, yoga, emotional freedom technique or qi gong.
Learn to control cravings. The only thing in life you can control is your mind. If you crave chocolate and you eat an apple instead, then you are on the right way. If you eat a small snack before going to a party, then you start being mindful about your eating. We live in a world of "craving" everything that makes us feel "good". Starting with that artificial, sugar loaded piece of cake that we gobbled up at dinner and ending with that very expensive cell phone we bought, because we just "needed" it. You know your mind and body feel sick and you don't know why. Satisfying our "cravings" puts an end to our daily tensions. Look carefully and truthful inside yourself and see if you really "need" everything you crave. If you can see yourself exactly how you are now, then change will happen naturally.
You don't need complicated meals, as you don't need a complicated life. To put it simple, if you can't pronounce the ingredients listed on the food label, don't eat it!
Be mindful about your portions. Remember the concepts of "simplicity" and "self-sufficiency". Be mindful when you choose your foods and don't treat them as simple "fuel", but rather as the ones that tell you what you really are and that can miraculously heal you. To start, as a simple guideline, try to combine a small portion of the foods you like in particular with other healthy foods (a variety of vegetables, legumes, grains, etc) and leave a third of your plate empty. It has to be healthy, simple and in a reasonable size.
Slow down. In this fast pacing world, people find themselves gobbling up low nutritional food in front of their computer, tv, when talking on the phone or running around. As far as digestion is concerned, that is very detrimental. Nutrients can not be absorbed properly, leading to digestive discomfort and nutritional deficiencies. Mindfulness teaches us how to "be in the moment" and train our minds to focus on anything, not only when we choose to meditate, but in every aspect of our daily lives. You can be mindful when you talk to your children, do the laundry, run errands or when eating. Stop for a moment and savour each bite you take. Think about the food you eat, where did it come from, how did it grow, how it was cooked, be aware of the taste it has and of your own movements while you eat. It might seem a little hard to do in the beginning and even time consuming, but the benefits you will have in the long run, are worth it.

Berlin, 1933. Warning bells ring across Europe as Hitler comes to power. Clara Vine, an attractive young Anglo-German actress, arrives in Berlin to find work at the famous Ufa studios. Through a chance meeting, she is unwillingly drawn into a circle of Nazi wives, among them Magda Goebbels, Anneliese von Ribbentrop and Goering's girlfriend Emmy Sonnemann. As part of his plan to create a new pure German race, Hitler wants to make sweeping changes to the lives of women, starting with the formation of a Reich Fashion Bureau, instructing women on what to wear and how to behave. Clara is invited to model the dowdy, unflattering clothes.
Then she meets Leo Quinn who is working for British intelligence and who sees in Clara the perfect recruit to spy on her new elite friends, using her acting skills to win their confidence. But when Magda Goebbels reveals to Clara a dramatic secret and entrusts her with an extraordinary mission, Clara feels threatened, compromised, desperately caught between her duty towards - and growing affection for - Leo, and the impossibly dangerous task Magda has forced upon her.

Celtic U19's 1-3 Barcelona U19's: Filip Twardzik v Jean Marie Dongou face-off
Celtic U19's 1-3 Barcelona U19's: Player watch
By ANDREW SOUTHWICK at Celtic Park
Barcelona's youth team descended on Glasgow, with the home support keen to see the potential stars of the future.
Two stand out men for both sides are Filip Twardzik and Jean Marie Dongou.
The Away End kept an eye on both men throughout the 90 minutes to assess each man's performance and contribution.
Filip Twardzik
Impossible to mark, because he was everywhere. Began on the right hand side of midfield, but sat behind the strikers at times, and was happy to move back to defence and help get the passing moves going.
Showed fantastic range of passing. Neat flicks kept the play moving, and long passes found team-mates in space.
Didn't get sight of goal too often and the two efforts he did have were blocked, but was intrumental in most of Celtic's moves.
Shots on:0
Shots off/blocked:2
Passes completed:33
Passes uncompleted:9
Challenges won:3
Challenges lost:3
Headers won:0
Headers lost:1
Fouls won:1
Fouls conceded:2
Free-kicks: 2
Moment to remember: Played a lovely interchange of passes on own half, before switching it over to the left hand side, beginning the move that led to Celtic's equaliser.
Jean Marie Dongou
Wasn't in the action too often, but a sign of a good striker is the ability to score even when having a quiet game. Had just the three efforts – two were blocked, the third nestled in the net.
Movement was slower than expected, however only wasted a pass once, played a lot of good link-up play when he had his back to goal, and it was a wonderful pass from him that led to the first goal; perfectly judging a forward pass into the box for his team-mate to run on to.
Shots on:1
Shots off/blocked:2
Passes completed:9
Passes uncompleted:1
Challenges won:0
Challenges lost:1
Headers won:0
Headers lost:2
Fouls won:0
Fouls conceded:1
Moment to remember: Left alone in the box, he took full advantage by picking his spot and firing his effort beyond the goalkeeper to score.
Timeline: Significant moments involving Twardzik and Dongou.
8 – Neat backheel from Twardzik raises cheers from the home crowd.
9 – Twardzik flicks ball to Rhys Murrell-Williamson, who shoots wide of right hand post.
10 – Dongou gets onto through ball on right, fires wide.
15 – GOAL 0-1: Dongou receives ball in middle, holds off defender, lays through a perfectly weighted ball for Eduard Campabadal Claros who finishes from a tight angle.
20 – Twardzik hits free-kick on target but keeper equal to it.
22 – GOAL 1-1: Twardzik involved in a series of passes in his own half, ball is eventually played up towards the edge of the box. Anthony Watt steadies himself and picks his spot well, low beyond keeper.
24 – Twardzik gets foot in to direct ball to team-mate. Collects return ball and tries to jink past two players. Keeps possession, passes to team-mate.
29 – Dongou goes down in box, no foul, but manages to get ball to team-mate. Miguel Angel Sainz-Maza tries to play him back in but Dongou misreads pass; in fairness it was closer to keeper than striker.
36 – GOAL 1-2: Dongou passes out wide to Pol Calvet, whose cross appears to be meant for the in running Dongou but ends up with Ernesto Cornejo, who heads down to Patricio Gabarron, and he is able to finish at the second attempt.
45 – Dongou appears to trip John Herron with both players no-where near the ball. Ignored by referee.
Half-time: Celtic 1-2 Barcelona
47 – GOAL 1-3: Dongou given too much time and space in box on left hand side, finishes well beyond Nicholas Feely.
52 – Dongou brings down cross into box, turns to shoot but shot is blocked and cleared.
58 – Twardzik gets sight of goal outside area, shoots wide and over.
86 – Dougou beats offside trap but poor pass forward to him gives him no chance.
90 – Dongou substituted, replaced by Alexandre Moreno.
90 (+1) – Twardzik attempts shot from outside area, blocked by defender.
Full-time: Celtic 1-3 Barcelona
Match summary: Celtic passed the ball well, but didn't look dangerous enough to trouble their visitors.
Barcelona took their goals well, and it was obvious they had genuine class in their side, but the Hoops will be disappointed that Barca never had to step up to top gear to beat them.
Man of the match: Filip Twardzik
Celtic(4-4-2): Feely, Fraser, Chalmers, Jones, Toshney, Irvine, George, Herron(Gormley 88), Watt (Atajic 69), Twardzik, Murrell-Williamson (Alabi 82).

Sliding doors wasn't just a great Gwyneth Paltrow movie, it is also a great way to access the rear quarters of your family hauler. Whether it is a tight parking space, having your arms full with baby and packages or children who are overly aggressive door openers, having a magical portal that slides open on its own track makes a lot of sense. Ford in the USA has abandoned the market for sliding doors, choosing instead the more traditional swinging door that adorns most vehicles sold in this market.
I witnessed the Ford Flex reveal and the promise that omitting the sliding doors saved cost and the savings allowed for a richer interior. What followed, however, was not a wild stampede of buyers. Was it the boxy styling? The wrong mix of options or just perhaps a lament amongst buyers that Ford had not replaced the Windstar/Freestar/Mazzy Star minivan with a suitable heir to the throne. To this day, I still wonder if the Flex's fortunes would not have been better had its doors been sliders rather than hinged. Too bad we cannot go back in time to see what would have happened. Where the heck is Clarence Odbody when you need him?
Regret over the Flex aside, I was willing to let bygones be bygones and instead looked forward to the launch of a new baby people mover in Ford's U.S. arsenal: The C-Max. Pitched as a "whitespace" Mazda5 competitor with European tuning and a bevy of Ford's fabulous slate of options the C-Max looked to be a true return to a true, albeit small, sliding door minivan. But my hopes were dashed by today's news that Ford had decided to change gears and market the C-Max solely has a five-seater, hybrid vehicle.
Does it make sense? From a pure marketing perspective, one does have to weigh the value of a C-Max brand in the U.S. that can trade its stock on being a competitor to the likes of Toyota's Prius V. Does leaving a few minivan buyers on the side of the road really matter that much? My reply would be, yes, it does matter. If Ford has shown us anything as of late, is that it is aware that Americans are breaking old habits left and right. Heavy SUVs have given way to nimbler and thriftier crossovers and humble "economy" cars can now retail in the high twenties with a gaggle of options and processors onboard that would embarrass the space shuttle. Ford F-150s equipped with V6 engines gobble up share and hatchback Fiestas and Foci are flying off the shelves. The time is ripe for a rethink on the family hauler and a credible alternative to jumbo minivans could have been a nifty trick up Ford's sleeve.

On Monday, May 5th, 2014 at the historic Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tenn., The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) honored the songwriters and publishers at the 36th annual ASCAP Christian Music Awards, held.
Matthew West was awarded two of the top honors at the 36th annual ASCAP Christian Music Awards. West was named Songwriter of the Year after having an amazing 2013 with his hit song "Hello My Name Is," a record-breaking No. 1 song at Christian radio for 17 weeks.
