On a June night in 1791, King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette fled Paris in disguise, hoping to escape the mounting turmoil of the French Revolution. They were arrested by a small group of citizens a few miles from the Belgian border and forced to return to Paris. Two years later they would both die at the guillotine. It is this extraordinary story, and the events leading up to and away from it, that Tackett recounts in gripping novelistic style. The king's flight opens a window to the whole of French society during the Revolution. Each dramatic chapter spotlights a different segment of the population, from the king and queen as they plotted and executed their flight, to the people of Varennes who apprehended the royal family, to the radicals of Paris who urged an end to monarchy, to the leaders of the National Assembly struggling to control a spiraling crisis, to the ordinary citizens stunned by their king's desertion. Tackett shows how Louis's flight reshaped popular attitudes toward kingship, intensified fears of invasion and conspiracy, and helped pave the way for the Reign of Terror. Tackett brings to life an array of unique characters as they struggle to confront the monumental transformations set in motion in 1789. In so doing, he offers an important new interpretation of the Revolution. By emphasizing the unpredictable and contingent character of this story, he underscores the power of a single event to change irrevocably the course of the French Revolution, and consequently the history of the world.

According to a story released by CBS News, in 2014 each of us may be exposed to as many as 5,000 advertisements per day. As a matter of pure survival, we tend to screen out all that clutter. We literally become numb to the ads and no longer even see them. Until something comes along that catches our attention.
As a small business owner, that means you have to find something to break through all the visual and audible noise and keeping it simple is always better. A striking image and a single sentence or two is more likely to catch attention than a page or video cluttered with too many images or words.
For example, Steel Doors Direct is a small business here in Phoenix. The company's most recent advertising piece (a flyer) shows a black and white photo of a mother hugging her two small children. The headline reads, "What would you do to ensure the health, safety and security of your family? Steel Doors Direct creates custom steel screen doors that can be left open 24/7 and let in plenty of healthy fresh air, while still keeping your family safe and secure." The touching image and simple wording reaches out to a basic instinct in all of us to protect our loved ones.
Then the question becomes, can your marketing materials be too simple. The answer is yes. Another local Phoenix Business, Kelsey Thomas LLC, has a website that is attractive but has very little information on it. This business has gone too far in the other direction and isn't providing enough information. Your website should be your main marketing tool and it is one of the places where you want to provide additional information for those folks who like to do their homework.
Here's another example of marketing that is too simple and it also happens to be a major pet peeve of mine. I do a lot of networking and I hate business cards that don't tell you what the company or person does. For example, a business card reads Jay Lincoln LLC, then it only lists contact information just doesn't have enough information. Because I've probably met several dozen people that day while networking, when I get that card home I can't remember what that person told me about their business. I want the card to remind me (i.e. knock me over the head) with what the business sells or the services it offers. That way, if I run into someone looking for their products or services several months from now, I don't have to try to remember what that business was. I can just thumb through the cards and find it again.

Nine people are dead and as many as 50 were injured when a California bus crash occurred on I-5. NBC Los Angeles reported on Thursday, April 10, 2014, that the tour bus was carrying Los Angeles-area high school students in Northern California as they were heading for a visit and tour of Humboldt State University, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A section of Interstate 5 was closed in both directions after the crash happened and the bus burst into flames after colliding with other vehicles. Traffic was being diverted onto state roads.
It has been reported that a FedEx truck was heading southbound on I-5 when it crossed the center line and into oncoming traffic and hit the bus. It has been reported that a Nissan Altima was also in in the California bus crash, but it has not been specifically reported as to how it was involved.
The accident was first reported at 5:41 p.m. near the town of Orland, which is close to 100 miles north of Sacramento.
The tour bus was carrying 46 people on board, mostly the high school students, but also some chaperons.
After the collision, witnesses said that the bus immediately burst into flames. Officers have confirmed that nine people are dead, but more are unaccounted for.
The identities of those killed have not been released as of yet.
One family member has said that the bus was filled with students from different high schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District. That includes at least one student from Robert F. Kennedy High School.
Another parent has said that her daughter was a student at Norte Vista High School in Riverside, California, but she wasn't sure if she was on the same bus.
For those that may be concerned or wondering about the safety or condition of students, please contact University Police at 707-826-5555.

Arizona certainly saw its share of ups and downs during the 2000-01 season. The Cats started the year with a short squad of 12 players, only two of whom were starters at the end of the 2000 season. Through a variety of injuries, player departures and academic issues, the Wildcat roster was decimated, and the team was down to only eight active players by season's end.
Despite all the distractions and the prevailing inexperience of this year's squad, the Wildcats finished the year with a 20-12 overall record, their fifth 20-win season in the last six years. They were 9-9 in Pac-10 play and finished in fifth place, their lowest finish since 1995.
There certainly were "ups" to go with the "downs", however. The Wildcats wrapped up regular-season non-conference play with a 10-2 mark. Their only two losses were to eventual national champion Notre Dame and to Auburn, which were ranked fifth and ninth, respectively, at the time the UA played them.
With their 14-2 start to the year, the Wildcats tied the 2000 team for the best record ever through the first 16 games of the season. The Cats' 4-0 start in Pac-10 play this year was also their best start ever in conference action.
The Cats struggled down the stretch, losing 10 out of their final 16 games of the season and, for the first time since the 1990-91 season, dropping each of their final eight road games.
For the first time since 1996, Arizona failed to earn an NCAA tournament berth, but it did receive a Women's National Invitation Tournament slot. The Wildcats downed Pepperdine, 85-65, in the first round of the WNIT but fell, 75-62, at New Mexico in the second round to end their season. The WNIT berth gave the Wildcats their sixth straight postseason appearance, the third-longest active postseason streak in the Pac-10.
The team set or tied 39 school records this year, including most home victories (15), most points scored in a season (2,521) and highest single season scoring average (78.8 ppg).
Arizona finished the year as the Pac-10 leader in scoring offense (78.8 ppg), scoring margin (+9.1 ppg), field goal percentage (.470) and assists (16.59 apg). The Cats were second in both free throw percentage (.700) and rebounding (39.8 rpg) and were third in field goal percentage defense (.400) and assist-to-turnover ratio (0.86).
Junior forward Elizabeth Pickney ended the season as the Cats' leading scorer, with 16.4 ppg, and second-leading rebounder (6.3 rpg). Senior guard Reshea Bristol was second in scoring, with 15.6 ppg, and ended the year as the Pac-10 leader in assists (7.56 apg).
Despite missing 11 contests through the year, freshman forward Veranda James was still the team's third-leading scorer, averaging 13.1 points per game. She also had the team's top rebounding average, at 8.2 per game.
Junior center LaKeisha Taylor (9.5 ppg) and sophomore wing Krista Warren (9.3 ppg) were fourth and fifth, respectively, in scoring. Warren was the team's third-leading rebounder, averaging 5.4 rpg.
In addition to leading the Pac-10 in assists, Bristol was second in steals (3.0 spg), fifth in scoring and fifth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.34). Pickney was third in the league in scoring, fourth in blocked shots (1.47 bpg), sixth in field goal percentage (.505) and ninth in rebounding. Taylor was second in field goal percentage (.587). Veranda James would have ranked high in many Pac-10 categories but did not play in enough games during the season to qualify for the league minimums.

Touring the Vatican Without Taking a Step
Virtual Images Bring Rome to Your Home
ROME, JULY 27, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Nothing can compare to a visit to Rome to admire the Sistine Chapel in person, or feel the "embrace" of the colonnade surrounding St. Peter's Square.
But a two-year project accomplished by students of the Villanova University of Pennsylvania can bring part of the "Rome experience" into your home.
The Sistine Chapel, St. Paul's Outside the Walls, St. John Lateran and St. Peter's are all available for viewing virtually at the Vatican web site.
St. Peter's is the last to have been posted; the Sistine Chapel went up in March. St. Paul's was the first to be made available, in 2008, and St. John Lateran was completed last November.
The 360-degree images can be zoomed and rotated so that viewers have the sense of being within the rooms, even if, as Chad Fahs, a digital media expert in Villanova's Communication Department, affirmed, "Being in the Sistine Chapel is an experience that's difficult to describe, much less re-create on a two-dimensional screen."
The most awesome thing I have ever seen on the net. The Vatican virtual tours.
Once you get the hang of it, you can easily spend hours on this site.
Please read
Use your Cursor for panoramic views. Not too fast or you'll get dizzy. Use Back button to get to each location. Also the screen has a + and -- for Telephoto or Wide Screen. That's in lower left of picture.
Much God given talent was given to build such edifices and create the wonderful art.
This is simply beautiful...awesome. For those who have been fortunate enough to have visited the Vatican it is a chance to relive memories...for those whose journey is yet to be, enjoy.
INSTRUCTIONS: After you link on the site below and select an image and it appears, then HOLD DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON AND SLOWLY MOVE THE CURSOR AROUND THE ROOM

Sampled areas within the CFR OU (Label = LUID)
** During the fall of 2009, soil sampling was completed for 14 residential properties and a KOA campground in Deer Lodge, Montana, located in the Clark Fork River Operable Unit of the Milltown Reservoir/Clark Fork River Superfund Site. As part of this effort, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) contracted TerraGraphics Environmental Engineering, Inc. to identify areas at the properties that exceed the residential exposure Risk-Based Concentration (RBC) for arsenic (150 mg/kg) and/or the screening-level RBC for lead (400 mg/kg) and to identify areas at the KOA campground that exceed the recreational exposure RBC for arsenic (680 mg/kg) and/or the screening-level RBC for lead (400 mg/kg).
The sampling effort included a total of 15 properties, resulting in the collection and laboratory analysis of 532 primary soil samples and 94 quality control samples (i.e., rinsate blanks, field blanks, standard reference material, and field duplicates). The analytical results for all samples collected, including field quality control results, are shown in Appendix A. Out of the 532 results obtained for locations sampled in the Deer Lodge Properties focus area, less than 1%exceeded the recreational exposure RBC of 680 mg/kg arsenic and 10% exceeded the 150 mg/kgresidential exposure RBC for arsenic. Overall, 3% of the samples collected exceeded the 400mg/kg screening-level RBC for lead.
The highest arsenic concentration encountered in the Deer Lodge Properties focus area was collected from a source area (slicken) adjacent to the Clark Fork River at one of the residential properties (1,490 mg/kg arsenic). The highest lead concentration encountered was measured in a sample collected from a residential yard area adjacent to the Clark Fork River (1,070 mg/kg Lead).
Test Pits

Pit locations, laboratory analytical results and XRF results
** In general, the investigation sampling approach consisted of test pit locations, spaced on a north-south – east-west grid pattern with 125-foot centers. Additional sample locations were identified outside of the 125-foot grid system within historic channels or old oxbows. Samples were collected at 6-inch intervals and screened in the field until one of the following conditions was met:
- Evaluation of field XRF data indicated that the sum of As, Cu, and Zn concentrations (i.e.total COC concentrations) was below 500 mg/kg.
- Course alluvium having a rock content of 60% or more (visual estimation), or bedrockwas encountered. These conditions are believed to provide sufficient protection from erosion.
Sampling areas began with the RipES preliminary polygons (CH2MHill, 2004) including Slickens, Impacted Soils and Vegetative Areas, Miscellaneous Site Types and Slightly Impacted Soils and Vegetation Areas. Floodplain sampling activities began on August 24, 2009, and were completed on September 30, 2009. This DSR only present a summary of data collected from Part 1 of this SAP Addendum. Information collected under Part 2 of this SAP addendum will be summarized in a separate report. A total of 635 natural samples, 38 field duplicates, and 23 filed blanks were submitted for laboratory analysis from 269 test pits. Additional samples were collected but not submitted to the laboratory for analysis and archived for future analysis, if necessary.

Last night's Grammy Foundation's 16th Annual Legacy Concert: A Song Is Born put the spotlight on songwriters who create classic works in popular music. It also emphasized the need to preserve the legacy of important and historic compositions.
An array of notable songwriters and musicians participated at the concert that was also sponsored by Seagate.
Among highlights at the star-studded evening's event, held at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre, ASCAP President Paul Williams spoke of the legendary songwriting flashpoint, the Brill Building in New York.
It was the perfect segue for Jeff Barry, who opened the concert with humor, and a look back some of the hits that he added his magic onto as a songwriter and arranger.
Delivering a medley of "Do Wah Diddy," "Da Doo Ron Ron," "Leader of the Pack," Sugar Sugar," and "Chapel of Love," the enchanted audience sang along.
A perfect addition, Kristen Madsen, Senior Vice President of the Grammy Foundation and MusiCares, delivered a highly impassioned spoken word presentation that served as a tribute to hit songwriters.
As a nod to songwriters that will shape pop music in the future, and as an example of how the Grammy Foundation helps support the careers of fledgling musicians that are part of their programs, the female country trio Maybe April gave a performance.
The three women had just met each other a year ago at the Foundation's Grammy Camp Nashville.
Two-time Grammy winner Paul Williams returned to the stage, to share two of the many hit songs he has written. The first one was "Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star is Born.") a 1976 hit for Barbra Streisand, who starred in the film with Kris Kristofferson, who was present and would perform later in the show.
Williams also sang the theme song he wrote for the television show, The Love Boat, which brought laughter from the audience.
Further laughter ensued when Williams interrupted his performance to quip, "Kristofferson, eat your heart out." The revered Williams joked about his work, saying, "I write co- dependent anthems."
He then spoke about protecting songwriters livelihoods and publishing rights. In comments directed towards writers, he emphasized, "Authenticity. Dare to be yourself. The world will listen."
Williams spoke about his career, and a challenging time in his life in 1968, recalling, "The number one hit was "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." He said he so wanted to write rock and roll songs, and hang out with hipster songwriters that congregated "in Laurel Canyon."
Approached to write a song for a bank commercial, he ended up penning the Carptenters hit "We've Only Just Begun." He then sang the smash song, co –written by Roger Nichols.
In 1998, Karen and Richard Carpenter's recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Williams talked about the heritage of music, and the importance of the Grammy's Preservation Program, and its keeping historic music alive, so "that it stays there for all time."
Referring to his 24 years of sobriety, he acknowledged MusiCares, advising the audience, "The MAP Program is there for anyone who wants to dry out."
Williams also performed a song he wrote with Kenny Ascher for Kermit The Frog, "Rainbow Connection."
Iconic songwriter Jimmy Webb took the stage and talked about how his career began with Johnny Rivers and recording for Liberty Records.
He confessed, "We had a problem" with KOMA Radio in Oklahoma City not wanting to play one of his songs that was rejected for allegedly being about illegal drug use.
Webb reminisced about the irony of the situation, saying, "Out of about of all the songs on the radio that week, I guarantee you, that was the only one not written about drugs."
That hit song he had penned was "Up, Up and Away," which at the 10th Annual Grammy Awards in 1968, won the award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Other Pop/Rock and Roll/ Contemporary Awards or Instrumental, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Webb also paid tribute to Glen Campbell, who is currently battling Alzheimer's, by performing a major hit song he wrote for him, "Witchita Lineman." Said Webb of the ailing country singer, "I miss him."
He then performed "Highwayman," a song that was recorded initially by Glenn Campbell in 1978.
The name was later taken by Waylon Jennings and his musical compadres Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson for their group The Highwayman, which became the seminal outlaw group in country music.
Their 1990 version of "The Highwaymen" won the Grammy for Best Country Vocal Collaboration.
The brilliant songwriter JD Souther performed his hit "You're Only Lonely" on acoustic guitar with Waddy Wachtel, who served as the session guitar player for the event.
Wachtel is most known for his work with Stevie Nix, the late Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, and Keith Richards' solo group The X-Pensive Winos.
Souther praised the Grammy Foundation's work in its mission of supporting music education. Talking about having had the opportunity to become a musician, "It kept me out of jail," he quipped.
Souther also joked about sparring with Wachtel while writing lyrics together.
Another topic on stage was the Dixie Chicks, and their mass success "before they were ludicrously dropped from country radio." Grammy recipient Dan Wilson was a co-writer of the trio's resulting song, "Not Ready To Make Nice."
He referred to the "blacklisting" of "the princesses of country music" as "ghoulish," when discussing their having been blacklisted "for criticizing the man who was the President at the time."
Among other performances during the night, Joy Williams of the Civil Wars joined Webb and Wachtel for a cover of the Linda Ronstadt hit "Faithless Love."
Webb noted of Ronstadt, who is suffering from Parkinson's disease, "She recorded so many other songs of mine, she set such a high standard."
Along with Wachtel and Adele collaborator Dan Wilson, Souther then delivered a lovely rendition of a song he penned with Don Henley and Glen Frey, the 1976 Eagles hit "New Kid In Town."
Referring to Adele as as "a genius," Wilson said she told him she had just been through a "really horrible breakup. Wilson noted, "I said, 'I'm really sorry,' but inside, I was thinking were really going to write a great song."
He then delivered an extremely memorable version of Adele's Grammy-winning mega-hit "Someone Like You."
"Rock and roll was supposed to be disposable music," said Gavin Degraw to resounding applause, and played "I Don't Want To Be."
He then broke into "Not Over You," co-written with Ryan Tedder of One Republic. Degraw said of songwriting, "Its' like being in the psychology chair."
Skylar Grey was less philosophic. "I worked at Barnes and Noble and was editing porn," she said of her days before encountering fame. "I said I've got to find a way to make money with music."
"I was over editing porn," she joked. Then adding of songwriting, "It kind of got me out of the woods, two Grammy nominations later."
She then sat at the piano to perform her smash hit song "Love The Way You Lie," which was famously recorded by Rihanna and Eminem.
John Rzeznik referred to stylistic decisions he had to make with his group the Goo Goo Dolls, affirming, "We had a choice of critics liking our music or real human beinga. Here I am 18 years later."
He then performed the Goo Goo Dolls number "I Want To Wake Up Where You Are." Rzenick joked about being a recording artist, saying, "Nobody makes any money any more."
He also performed a song he wrote for his wife, "Come To Me." He followed that with his popular hit "Iris."
Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin sang the Tim McGraw's "Everywhere," which the the duo wrote.
Allen Shamblin noted a song he wrote with Tom Douglas, the Miranda Lambert hit "The House That Built Me." Shamblin stated, "Being a piano player in Nashville is like being drunk in choir, because no one knws what you're trying to do."
Shamblin emotionally recalled Mike Reid saying, "Never lose what you're feeling rite now. Money, fame, awards, nothing will touch what we have in this room right now," when they completed writing the next song, which Bonnie Raitt performed, "I Can't Make You Love Me."
Raitt said she was grateful to the writers of her songs, and said she is "proud" of the MusiCares MAP Fund, and she also praised the Grammy Foundation.
"My life changed when I wrote something about aging when I turned 40. That seems like a long time ago." That song was her next performance number, "Nick Of Time."
She introduced Kris Kristofferson, referring to his composition "Help Me Make It Through The Night," calling his song "as soulful as it was sexy."
2014 Grammy Hall of Fame recipient Kristofferson performed a highly moving rendition of "Me and Bobby McGee." The previously jovial audience fell entirely silent during his performance. One could have heard a pin drop as he sang.
Kristofferson changed an ending lyric during the performance, singing, "Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm, good enough for me and Janis."
He remarked about having difficulty remembering some of his lyrics, concluding, "77 is a bitch," which brought the enrapt audience to laughter.
Accompanying himself on an acoustic guitar, he then performed his notable work "For The Good Times."
Kristofferson received a standing ovation.
Gavin DeGraw, Bony James and Steve Cropper rocked the house together.
Cropper explained that Jerry Wexler from Atlantic Records called him, needing a single for an artist. "I did not know who this guy was, but I should have," said Cropper. "It was Wilson Pickett."
Cropper remembered that incredibly, three songs were written the afternoon Pickett arrived, including the classic recording of "Midnight Hour."
With Gavin DeGraw, Cropper threw down a rawkus version of it, further propelled by Wachtel, offering lively soloing from Cropper and a wonderful sax solo from Boney James.
Said Cropper of the song "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay, "I'm not going to brag but I'm going to tell you, I've recorded 600 songs." He then said that Redding was singing about the ferries that come into San Francisco from Sausalito.
"I wrote the bridge with him and the last verse." he said proudly." He then performed it, as a duet with Boney James.
Cropper said, "The king of soul, James Brown, but no one can replace Otis Redding."
Valerie Simpson of Ashford and Simpson sat at the piano and thanked the Grammy Foundation. She delivered a stunning version of her signature song "I'm Every Woman."
"We have the best job in the world," she said, before calling vocalist Ryan Shaw to the stage for a stunning delivery of the Motown hit "You're All I Need To Get By."
This led to a performance of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," written by her Simpson and her late husband and musical partner, Nickolas Ashford.
It also became a hit for Diana Ross, and was recorded by the late Marvin Gaye.
"Let's thank the Grammy Foundation for keeping this music alive," she proclaimed.
Phyllis Pollack will be covering the Grammy Awards Live from Staples Center.

A lot of things are said at barbershops.
Most of it outlandish and false, but it is one of those safe havens, where guys talk about cheating on their wives and girlfriends, a robbery they committed in high school or maybe just some random shootings they have never been arrested for.
According to this report from Pro Football Talk, Aaron Hernandez's barber doesn't want any trouble, so he is cooperating with the police.
A passing reference to a grand jury also appears at the bottom of an item in the Boston Herald with a headline that focuses on court papers citing cocaine. Buried there is news that Hernandez's barber, Roberto Olivares, has cooperated with authorities. Per the report, Olivares identified the apartment that Hernandez maintained roughly 20 minutes from his North Attleboro home.
The barber told them he had been to the condo and had cellphone text messages allegedly from Hernandez giving him the address, according to the search warrant records.
Loyalty only goes so far when prison time is staring at you in the face. It seems like most of Aaron Hernandez's crew are starting to think more about their future than his.

her space holiday, lymbyc systym @ bottom of the hill: photos, review
Last night I saw Her Space Holiday (myspace) and Lymbyc Systym (myspace) at the Bottom of the Hill.
Lymbyc Systym went on a few minutes after I go to the club. I'd known their name from their tour with The One AM Radio and that group's Lymbyc Systym remix and I'd heard a few good tunes on their myspace. Going into the show I wanted to make sure I got there in time for their set and I was glad I did.
It was two guys, one on drums and samples (and occasional face contortions) and one on keyboards. They play instrumental music that has touches of electro/ glitchy pop and touches of post-rock. I remember thinking during an Album Leaf set once that I was amazed at the energy and emotion that Jimmy LaValle was able to put into the music; nominally electronic music isn't usually able to do that. During Lymbyc's set I was once again amazed at the same thing. They did the swells decrescendos, the dissonance and consonances and the tension and release that marks the best post-rock really well, but they also had nice electronic beats and glitches in there. I found the balance worked really well.
Her Space Holiday came on to a crowd rife with anticipation. I feel like I couldn't have been the only one to be surprised when a full band was setting up on stage–not just a full band, but a large one–six piece: two guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and a tambourine/ backup vocalist. In the five years since last seeing HSH live–when Marc performed solo, with a laptop and sequencer, if I remember correctly–I've listened to Manic Expressions, Young Machines and Past Presents the Future a lot of times. I loved the lush strings and engaging beats.
But here we were, a full band and no laptop. I've enjoyed other throw-out-the-electronics-that-were-on-the-album live shows before, but after the lovely warm-up from Lymbyc Systym, I was ready for some glitch pop.
Glitch pop I did not get. The band played new and old songs in a style that reminded me of southern-influenced classic rock bands–and not the ones that I liked. It's not that Her Space Holiday didn't play well–they were solid musically–they just performed in a style imitated by countless mediocre bands and didn't do much to distinguish themselves from those. That mediocrity carried over into how I felt about their set. Perhaps the crowd was simply content or perhaps they saw things the same way as I did because when the main set ended, so the clapping did soon after and I thought I'd see a headliner not get an encore for the first time in a long time. Eventually the band came back on to a smattering of applause.
I shouldn't leave you thinking that I had a completely average experience across the board with their set, I should mention that I loved their versions of "Tech Romance", "Sleepy California" and "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" (part of the encore) were all great and enjoyable.

The Capital Region debut and screening of American Made Movie, a new documentary, will take place at the Proctors GE Theatre on Tuesday, January 21 at 6:30 p.m. A panel discussion will follow, led by local, statewide, and national leaders including U.S. Representative Paul Tonko.
The movie takes a close look at the decades-long decline of American manufacturing employment, which has unleashed a devastating effect on local and national economies. The critically acclaimed movie highlights how individuals and corporations are making a difference by doing their part in their local communities.
According to event organizer Chad Putman, American Made Movie is "A ground-breaking film that examines the decline of manufacturing in America and the opportunity at hand to reverse that trend by looking at the role everyone plays in our local and global economy. If you're interested in job creation, innovation, and economic development in Schenectady County and beyond, you won't want to miss this event. This is not just a movie screening, but an event."
The City of Schenectady in conjunction with area organizations will be hosting this community event. The screening of American Made Movie will be followed by a panel discussion with public and private local economic developers and planners. The panel discussion will be moderated by Jack Aernecke, former anchor and business-tech reporter at WRGB-TV 6 and will offer an opportunity for attendees to propose questions related to the state of manufacturing in Schenectady and beyond.
A pre-event gathering will allow for network opportunities with local manufacturers, small business owners, and event supporters, from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the Atrium of the GE Theatre.
Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Schenectady based YouthBuild program by providing a onetime scholarship for a program participant that plans on attending and enrolling in a Manufacturing Technology program at Schenectady County Community College.
For more information contact Chad Putman at 518 225-0957 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Substitutions Cut Calories, Kids Oblivious
The average American child consumes 15 to 30% more calories than needed for healthy growth — no wonder obesity has become the most prevalent health problem facing U.S.children.Fortunately, a new study suggests small substitutions in recipe ingredients and meal components can significantly cut children's caloric intake and improve their health — without their even noticing it!
Penn State researchers (the same smart bunch that brought the world Volumetrics) provided breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to 26 children, twice a week for two weeks.On some of those days, the caloric content of the meals were reduced with simple changes, such as adding pureed vegetables to pasta dishes, quadrupling the amount of strawberries in a yogurt parfait, serving 1% milk instead of whole milk, or substituting fruit in juice vs.syrup.The result? On "swap" days, kids took in about 200 fewer calories, even though they were eating roughly the same amount of food by weight.
These findings helped to confirm a previous study by the same authors in which kids served regular and low-fat versions of macaroni and cheese did not notice any difference in taste — even though the healthier version had 70 fewer calories and loads less saturated fat.Kids, like adults, tend to eat the same weight in food every day: Depending on how you fill up that dietary scale (think fruit and vegetables vs.junk food and candy), that can either add up to lots of calories and paltry nutrition, or relatively fewer calories, and many important nutrients.
That's the premise of Volumetrics: a diet that lets people eat their fill of high-fiber, high-nutrition, low-calorie foods like fruits and vegetables.Dieters "consume hundreds of fewer calories per day…yet eat a greater amount of food," observed Consumer Reports, which ranked Volumetrics as the best, healthiest, and most effective diet.
Of course, protecting children from obesity is just one of parents' concerns when it comes to their kids' diets — avoiding nutrient deficiencies is another.Scientists are increasingly recognizing that there may be a link between the two.You can address both, by serving your children more fruit and vegetables.

All things Mother Earth Living

Valentine's Day, child labor, chocolate, Green America, Fair Trade
Valentine's Day is around the corner. Have you checked your chocolate?
Green America is urging consumers to send Hershey a Valentine, letting the nation's largest chocolate company know that we won't buy chocolate that hasn't been certified as free from the worst forms of abusive child labor. Unlike most leading global chocolate makers, Hershey refuses to take steps to curb such abuses in its supply chain.
Green America and its allies in the Raise the Bar, Hershey! campaign - Global Exchange, International Labor Rights Forum, and Oasis USA - are encouraging Americans to either make their own card urging the company to end child labor, or to get a convenient online template. Cards should be sent to: David West, CEO; The Hershey Company; 100 Crystal A Drive; Hershey, PA 17003.
'No holiday that is dedicated to love should be commemorated by people sending each other products that are connected to the cruelty and depravity of some of the worst child labor abuses taking place anywhere on the globe today," Elizabeth O'Connell, Fair Trade coordinator for Green America, said. "With more than 50 million pounds of chocolate sold in the U.S. for Valentine's Day alone, Green America is working to raise awareness of the abysmal labor practices that Hershey relies on. Fair Trade chocolate is widely available and represents a fair and more humane choice for consumers. We hope that young and old concerned Americans will take this opportunity to speak from the heart and send Hershey's a Valentine that can make a real difference.'
Raise the Bar, Hershey! campaign partners are also encouraging consumers to host local screenings of the film 'The Dark Side of Chocolate.' To get involved, go to www.greenamerica.org/programs/fairtrade/MovieScreening.cfm. A full action kit - including a DVD copy of the movie for local screenings - is available from the nonprofit organization for $6.
Learn more about how to get child labor abuses out of your chocolate at www.greenamerica.org/programs/fairtrade/whatyoucando/2010Scorecard.cfm. Then treat your sweetie to chocolate you can feel good about. Here are three of my favorites:
Alter Eco Fair Trade Chocolate
Nicobella Vegan Organic Dark Chocolate Truffles

Tuck Meets the Bayou: New Orleans E-ship Week
A team of eight first- and second-year Tuck students just returned to Hanover from New Orleans. We particpated in IDEAcorps, a MBA spring break program that was sponsored by the Idea Village (an entrepreneur incubator) and folded into New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (a week-long celebration of entrepreneurship and its role in New Orleans' recovery). The week was a one-of-a-kind experience, and is something any of us would highly recommend for next year's spring break. Big shout outs to Dan Ettinger and Parul Shah for organizing the team and leading the trip, and to Joaquin Villarreal for serving as our faculty advisor. And of course we can't forget Dean Danos, the Allwin Initiative, the MBA Program Office, and -- of course -- the Entrepreneurship Initiative for supporting this venture.
Over the week, we worked with the two enthusiastic and determined founders of ChapterSpot. ChapterSpot sells "group management made easy" -- an online private social network that is currently used by fraternities and sororities to manage recruiting, scheduling, dues collection, and so on. We helped them plan improvements to the product and also think about new markets to target. Being in the trenches with the co-founders for a week was not only inspirational and eye-opening, but also a lot of fun. We brought our unique Tuck MBA perspective to them, and they helped us think about some traditional business questions in new and interesting ways.
Outside of the office, we had an unbelievable New Orleans experience -- ranging from following a "second line" (roaming street party) with Wendell Pierce to winning the IDEAcorps competition against the likes of HBS, Columbia GSB, Loyola, Yale SOM, and Duke Fuqua.
I've asked a few of my teammates to post their reflections from the week. Look for these to come out over the next week or two. In the meantime, grab any of us if you're curious about the program. We were the first Tuck team to attend IDEAcorps and are planning to send another team down next year to defend our crown!
Tuck IDEAcorps team (L to R): Brendan Finke (ChapterSpot co-founder), Len White T'13, Dan Ettinger T'13, Divya Mani T'12, Spencer Bryan T'13, Parul Shah T'12, Kellie Jo Ciofalo T'12, Joe McMenemom (ChapterSpot co-founder), Ian Warthin T'12, Joaquin Villarreal T'08 (E-ship Initiative), and Brent Dance T'13

That time again! I'm proud once more to announce a new course from TrainSignal. This time it's on vCenter Operations Manager, a product that I love and think is very useful to most vSphere admins out there. We've had a huge amount of interest in vCOPs from our customers but there hasn't been much training available out there, especially for the more advanced features.
The course covers:
- Overview of the different license levels
- Components and architecture
- Preparation and installation
- Tour of the interface
- Deep instruction on all the major and minor badges
- Using alerts and predictive analysis
- Training on the Custom UI
- Dashboards and widgets
- KPIs and Super Metrics
vCenter Operations Manager is a very powerful tool while also being really easy to use. It takes all of the thousands of metrics you get from VMs and servers and distills it down to useable information. Using the builtin analytics engine it can accurately predict workload and business cycles and look for problems before they cause an impact.
Many people I talk to are interested in the Custom UI feature that lets you build out your own dashboards, multi-server applications, and advanced metrics (KPIs and Super Metrics). That's an area with very little useful information and is often confusing so I made sure to include lessons on how to get started with those features. The idea is to give you an idea of what it takes to fully utilize those and gives you what you need to decide which license level is right for your organization.
TrainSignal has put up several sample videos from the course, including:
There are more on the TrainSignal YouTube channel. If you sit through the course please send me your feedback! I'd love to hear it. A link to the course information is here.

Mounting a Linux NFSv4 filesystem on Solaris
By Danx-Oracle on Nov 16, 2006
I've had a problem mounting a NFS filesystem on Solaris 10 from Linux 2.6 (SUSE 10.1). The NFSv4 filesystem was on a Linux server, and Solaris was the client where I was trying to mount.
I got this error message:
nfs mount: mount: /netdrive: Not owner
The error message isn't helpful (it's because of the limited error codes in errno.h), but the problem is NFSv4 support is broken in Linux.
There's two solutions for this:
1. Add this line to Solaris file /etc/default/nfs:
2. Another solution, on a mountpoint basis is:
mount -o vers=3 server1:/netdrive /netdrive
Here's my /etc/vfstab line:
server1:/netdrive - /netdrive nfs - no nosuid,rw,soft,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,vers=3

Before heading out the door on your holiday shopping quest, be sure to take a minute and review return policies. Not all returns are treated equally. While most are on the common sense side, there are a few variations of which you should be aware.
The rule of thumb is 90 days with tags attached, product packaging and accessories and receipt, music, movies, video games, software, electronics, televisions, camcorders and more have special considerations and sometimes restocking fees.
Check out Target's basic 90-day return policy – and restocking fees on some items.
WalMart is 90-days on most items with tags and receipts, but policies vary especially on electronics.
Kmart and Sears are usually 90-days for a return, but check the web site for exceptions.
Toys "R" Us also has a 90-day policy, except, video games, accessories, software, movies electronics, radio-control items, trading cards, collectibles and more.
Best Buy has a 30-day return policy on most things, 14-day policy on computers and electronics purchased as used, and opened software, movies, music and more may not be returned. Also some items have a 15 percent restocking fee on opened items and 25 percent restocking for special order.
Circuit City usually has a 30-day policy, but happy holidays, items purchased between Nov. 2 and Dec. 24 may be returned through Jan. 31.

Acts of God
Acts 16:16-34
May 04, 2010 by Ron Hansen
An old insurance company term for natural disasters is "acts of God," which unfortunately links the Holy One with everything awful and unforeseen that can befall humanity, as if God were not just capricious but wrathful and cruel. Jesus, of course, depicted his father in a completely different way, and in this passage from the Acts of the Apostles we see how Paul has learned from Christ how to discern rightly what is indebted to God and what is a counterfeit—an important lesson for all of us.

Are you looking for a stock?
Try one of these
Whirlpool Corp. (WHR-N), the world's largest appliance maker, reported a drop in quarterly sales on Wednesday, hurt by a stronger dollar and weak global demand.
The maker of Maytag and KitchenAid appliance saw a drop in unit shipments to mature markets such as North America and Europe, as well as Latin America. Asian unit shipments remained flat from a year earlier.
High raw materials costs also hurt Whirlpool in the fourth quarter, when sales fell to $4.9 billion US from $5.0 billion a year earlier.
"We are assuming relatively flat to slightly improving industry demand during the year and have planned our business accordingly," Chief Executive Officer Jeff Fettig said.
Whirlpool also seems to have lost market share in washers to Korean manufacturers, which discounted aggressively in the key holiday selling season, analysts have said.
The century-old American manufacturer alleges South Korean producers such as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are selling residential washing machines in the United States at prices 31 percent to 82 percent below fair market value, the Commerce Department has said.
Whirlpool also accuses Mexican suppliers of undercutting U.S. prices by 27 percent to 72 percent.
The company's net earnings rose to $205 million, or $2.62 a share, from $171 million, or $2.19 a share, a year earlier. Excluding special items, it earned only 32 cents a share.
Whirlpool is now focusing on cutting costs and production capacity, and implementing previously announced price increases to offset tepid demand across the globe. It is also betting on high-tech and energy-efficient appliances.
For 2012, Whirlpool sees full-year earnings of $5.00 to $5.50 a share. Excluding restructuring charges and Brazilian tax credits, it forecasts the profit at $6.50 to $7.00.

A few final election thoughts:
It's very taxing!
We're running an unscientific Web poll now on who might best save taxpayers money (Irish leprechauns are doing well) and a Van Kovacs commented.
"What's this fixation about SAVING money?" he asks.
I had to respond.
"Ah, Van, if you look around, I don't think we have a fixation about saving money. Does $16 trillion in the hole sound like we're saving money?"
Of course, elections aren't only about trying to give the taxpayers a break, but if what you pay is important, then you should know what you're paying.
You've heard a lot about how local governments are slashing budgets. But when you cut through all the gunk, simply look at your property tax bill.
Here's what mine says:
2010 – $2,791
2011 – $3,068
2012 – $3,189
Do you see a pattern there? That's a 10 percent increase and then on top of that another 4 percent increase.
Did you see that kind of increase in your paycheck?
Now if all of this slashing is going on, where is all of this money going?
Does Mielke want it?
In the Tom Mielke/Joe Tanner race for county commissioner, I earlier gave the slightest of edges to Joe Tanner. Tom, the Republican, should be the clear favorite. He's the conservative incumbent in a conservative-leaning county.
So what's going on? Tom appears to be sleepwalking through this race. Joe is completely out-hustling him.
Look, Tom has never been the sweetest kernel on the cob. But we Clark County folks have never looked for an overly perspicacious politician to represent us. We like regular Joes … I mean, regular Toms.
Tom, do you give a topo dietro about this election? You need to show it.
(I also sense a slight, late shift to Marc Boldt in the other commissioner race.)
Park it
I've written about this special parks district in Vancouver before, and if voters look at all the information, it will go down to defeat. On the surface, this new parks district comes across as a guaranteed fund for parks, removing it from the whims of the city council. In reality, it is yet another revenue stream for the city that allows it to free up money in the general fund (where there already is more than $8 million for parks) so it can be spent on anything.
Think about it.
My slug costume
Halloween is just over, but I had this dream I had to share.
State Sen. Don Benton (he's in a tight race to retain his seat) and I were about to attend the same bewitching party, so he called me up to make sure our costumes didn't clash. We travel in the same circles and hang with the same cool cats, so we're always chatting.
"I'm going as a slug," I told Don. "How 'bout you?" Don was silent.
After a long pause, he said something about having to go so he could get to a Senate vote or something and hung up.
The dream ended, so I never found out what his costume was. I'm still wondering.
But then I kinda wondered what other politicians dressed up as. Leprechauns?

Slither Movie Reviews
User reviews on Slither
This was a great movie. A fun scifi premise of an evil alien coming to earth and trying to kill off all of the inhabitant, but first turning them into his minions with the aid of goopy space slugs. Good times.
Grant Grant, the poor fool who decided to poke at a meteor and surprisingly got turned into an alien human hybrid, impregnates a woman with space slugs and eats most of the local dogs, as he slowly turns into a weird, tentacled alien.
The actors were hilarious, but this was definitely a horror movie first and comedy second. It's also rather gross but in a great way. It reminded me of the old horror movies, which were cheesy and fun and good for a few laughs. I would recommend this too everyone, it's a classic.

I'm a college student that works in a dinning hall and a long denim skirt was not in my wardrobe, so I bought this one so I could be in uniform at work, while still remaining modest. This skirt is awesome! It fits well and allows me to work with ease. My only concern with it is that the bottom is very wide. I love it other than that little problem.

I absolutely love this skirt! It's high quality and fits so well. I ordered L since I always wear L, but I wear this skirt very deep on my hips and like it very lose. You might want to order a size smaller, if you wear it in your weist. Also WASH the skirt before you wear it. It looses a lot of color and ruined my light brown leather boots which is of course my own fault.

I purchased a small in the stonewashed navy and it's just what I was looking for. It's full length but doesn't drag, a lovely dark wash, and a comfortable but flattering fit. There is a neat little adjuster in the waistband to make it smaller too, if needed. The denim weight is just right - warm for winter but not heavy! : Thanks for making my first modest jean skirt a beautiful staple in my closet. This is a great skirt if that's what you're looking for!

I ordered this skirt in dark denim and am absolutely happy with it, even though I thought it might be longer, but it is around ankle length I am 1ᅴ metres and ordered in M. The skirt is solidly worked, durable, easy, and comfortable to move in. it can be dressed up or down - and I already love it! It looks much nicer in reality than on the photo and I like the style.

My teenage daughter and I both ordered one and are thrilled with the quality and fit! We took our measurements, found our sizes using the chart, and then ordered one size up since we like our skirts to sit down a bit on our hips. Ordering our true size would have made the skirt fit above our navels ordering one size up fits us below the navel and lets the skirt hit at the ankle, which we love. Thank you! We've already started telling our friends about your products.

For those who only wear very long skirts, this skirt is the answer to many prayers. It is cut remarkably well, the fabrication is quality, and the floor sweeping length is perfect. The navy blue wash makes it versatile enough for all-season wearing, presumably with thermies or leggings underneath in colder winter climates. The skirt is far more beautiful than the pic represents surprisingly more beautiful, incredibly impressive. Most skirts of this length and coverage are priced at least twice as much and usually four times this much. The lack of split is marvelous. It is perfect.

The skirt is comfortable and the length is perfect. The pockets are a good size. The adjustable waistband is nice, but not essential for me, as I wear a belt. I do appreciate the number of belt loops, however - another skirt that I have has only 4 instead of 5, and that extra belt loop makes a noticeable difference. I do wish these were available in a plain black fabric.

I love the A-line style of this skirt it's not too straight like many jeans skirts. It fits great, thanks to the adjustable waist, and the lycra makes it very comfortable! I wish you would make these shorter I hemmed mine to below knee length and also in drill fabric in other colors, like black, tan and olive green. I also bought the tiered jeans skirt which also fits well. I'd prefer it a little less gathered and more grownup. One more thing - ordering online in Israel is confusing because you have to enter a state. I called customer service for help, but there must be some instruction you can write to let us Israelis know what to write there!

Freshman Madison Opfer fired a career-low 1-under 71 during today's opening round of the Alamo Invitational.
Oct. 28, 2012
NEW ORLEANS - The 43rd-ranked Tulane golf team combined for a season-low 1-under 287 total and sits in third place, while senior Maribel Lopez Porras tied her career-low for a single round with a 4-under 68 and is third place in the individual race following the opening round of the 2012 Alamo Invitational in San Antonio, Texas.
Playing the Briggs Ranch Golf Course for the first time since 2010, the Green Wave was three teams to finish under par, while a total of 11 players finished under par on Sunday.
Tulane was one of the first groups off the tee box this morning and made the most of its early opportunities with a combined 12 birdies coming on the first nine holes.
Porras stumbled with a double bogey on her first hole and then rose to 3-over after a bogey on the fourth hole. However, the season veteran dug in and began one of the best comebacks of her career. She responded with birdies on three of her final four holes and dropped back to even at the turn. On the back nine, she registered four more birdies and turned in her finest round since the second round of the Windy City Collegiate as a freshman in 2009.
Freshman Madison Opfer overcame three bogeys on the day, including three on the front nine, with four birdies to chalk up a career-low with a 1-under 71 and sits in 11th place.
Sophomore Gemma Dryburgh and freshman Emily Penttila each carded a 2-over 74 and sit in a tie for 31st place, while freshman Silvia Garces went to the clubhouse with a 3-over 75 and is in 39th place.
Tulane, SMU and Oklahoma golfers will play together during Monday's second round and the groups will begin teeing off from the first hole at 9:50 a.m.
"Today was a really good start for us overall as a team and I was very happy with the way our golfers came out and made as many birdies as we did," Tulane head coach Andrew Pratt said. "Maribel had a really good day at 4-under and Madison did as well with her 1-under score and I thought our other three golfers were solid. We shot 16 total birdies for the scores that counted and only finished 1-under as a team so we need to clean up a few mistakes and improve for tomorrow's round."
Ninth-ranked Oklahoma combined for a 9-under 279 total to set a new course record and joined No. 31 SMU (second place) and No. 43 Tulane as the only teams to finish under par for the round. No. 25 Texas A&M is in fourth place, while host UTSA rounds out the top five squads.
A pair of individuals is tied for first on the leaderboard. Baylor's Hayley Davis and SMU's Jennifer Park each fired 5-under 67s and are tied for first, while Porras and two Oklahoma players- Kaitlyn Rohrback and Taylor Schmidt- are each two strokes back.
