Tonight's Topic: Is Today's Workplace Legalized Slavery?
Is Today's Workplace a form of Legalized Slavery? With unemployment still at such a high rate today's employers seem to feel you should be grateful to have a job. Do you walk on eggshells wondering is today my last day? Are you asked to work longer hours with no regards to your family or personal life? Do they also ask you to do so without getting paid at times? Even with the current state of the employment market, we need to know we have right's as employees. If your employer is like a slave master you need to know you have rights. Let's talk about what you can do to get off of the "Plantation", on Bks1radio.com.

Special Guest: Singer/Song Writer Tiffany Monique
Joining the live in the vocal booth show tonight is the very talented Singer and Song writer Tiffany Monique. Who better to describe Tiffany than the Legendary Beyonce, with whom she has toured the world with and performed countless times:
"Tiffany's voice has effortless strength, sass, seduction, and heart with a tone that puts you at ease. I am very lucky to have worked with her for many years and I am proud that she now has such a wonderful piece of work to share with the world."
Best known to the general public for being one-third of Beyoncé's background singers – famously known as "The Mamas"– vocalist/songwriter Tiffany Moníque stepped out of the shadows as a solo recording artist with her debut EP, Nemesis, in 2010. The five-track gem not only highlighted Tiffany's stylistic diversity, but solidified her place as a superstar on the rise. In less than two years since the launch of her debut, Tiffany Moníque has amassed an impressive international fan base of thousands, including none other than her former boss, Beyoncé:
"Tiffany's voice has effortless strength, sass, seduction, and heart with a tone that puts you at ease," said Beyoncé. "I am very lucky to have worked with her for many years and I am proud that she now has such a wonderful piece of work to share with the world."
A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Tiffany's mom moved the family to Newark, New Jersey in 1983. At the age of three, Tiffany became actively involved in church and began to lay the foundation of her musical career through the church choir. "I went with my grandmother every Sunday and was involved in every ministry," she pleasantly recalls. By the time she was in high school, Tiffany was a director in the church's music ministry. While she knew well the songs in her hymnbook, Tiffany also found joy listening to seasoned soul singers on the radio. Listening to artists like Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Whitney Houston, Vesta and Chaka Khan, for whom her Aunt Beverly once sang backgrounds, Tiffany was inspired.

|See Tufo Tires On Amazon
Simply put, you want to carry a track tubular as a spare. Don't take it from me though, I actually learned this trick from former Ironman World Champion Peter Reid. The reason for this is because they roll up to nothing, weigh nothing, and despite what people believe, they are actually fairly robust. Track tubulars usually don't have the puncture protection strip that most road tubulars have, but don't let that scare you off.
|Tufo Elite Jet (Top) - Butyl Tube (Bottom)
My personal experience with this tire is that it is a fairly robust tire. At Ironman Wisconsin in 2009 I actually had to change a flat and ride this tire for 55 miles and it handled like a champ.
I have done a lot of general tire testing and I find that when you have a flat that the affecting object will go through any tire. Rarely is it the case the the object would go through one tire but not another.
If you are still worried about flatting then you can always carry two Tufo Elite Jet 120s and still be under the weight of one Zipp Tangente. In addition, you can also move up a step to the Tufo Elite Jet Hi-Tpi <160 which includes a puncture protection strip in the tire. You can purchase the later at Trisports.com and you can save 20% by using my Coupon Code. You can always help support me as an athlete by using my 20% off coupon code for Trisports that is tied to my name. Each code is unique for you so please contact me thru the above "Contact" tab and I will email you back the 20% off code. Codes can be used at anytime - no waiting for a special sale. They expire 12/31/14. Please remember to fill in your email address so I can reply back to you. If you don't provide an email there is no way for me to contact you. You can also tweet at me or message me on Facebook if you prefer.
For those real weight-weenies out there, Tufo makes a 110 gram version with a width of 19mm, but I prefer to ride at least 21mm tires for the added traction, and more comfortable ride.

Mama Joyce finally seemed to realized that she needed to butt out and stay quiet when it comes to her daughter Kandi Burruss's relationship with her fiance Todd Tucker but it seems that she just couldn't hold it in anymore. As reported by All About The Real Housewives on Monday, Feb. 3, Mama Joyce has once again publicly criticized Todd.
Mama Joyce, as seen by viewers of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta," has made no secret of her disapproval of Todd, whom she thinks is an opportunist and really just after Kandi's money. She has again voiced her opinion that Todd is just looking out for himself.
"Kandi's on one page, and Todd is on his page. Kandi is in love and Todd is in love with Todd. He could love Kandi, but he loves Todd more," she recently said in a magazine interview.
She just doesn't understand what Kandi sees in him.
"She really loves him, for whatever reason. Todd's got a good game," she added.
Despite what her mom thinks, Kandi Burruss is sticking by her man. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star recently blasted In Touch Weekly, the very magazine that Mama Joyce spoke to, for making up a story about her being humiliated by Todd.
"The faces #IntouchWeekly got me making about this article they wrote about @todd167 & I.....Humiliated?.... Uh, no. Well at least it was on the cover... Lol!" she posted on Instagram on Saturday, Feb. 1, along with a photo of her making incredulous faces and images of the story.
Perhaps the person who supplied the magazine with the humiliation story is none other than Mama Joyce?
What do you think of what Mama Joyce said about Kandi Burruss's man?

Liam Coen -- a native of Warwick, R.I., and a former star high school player at La Salle Academy in Providence -- was named the new quarterbacks coach by Head Coach Phil Estes in late June.

Former Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske, who lost his Glock pistol to a car prowler on a downtown Seattle street several years ago, was confirmed today by the Senate to be the first permanent commissioner for the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.
Kerlikowske's 9mm Glock pistol has never been recovered to Examiner's knowledge. A reward was offered by the Bellevue-based Citizen's Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the thief. Over the years, CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb chided Kerlikowske over the gun theft, including the time the former chief was honored for his gun control efforts by Washington CeaseFire.
For the past few years, Kerlikowske has served as President Barack Obama's drug czar. He was also a deputy director at the Justice Department's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Prior to serving as Seattle's police chief, he was police commissioner in Buffalo, N.Y. and he served at the St. Petersburg, Fla., police department.
With Kerlikowske at the helm at Customs and Border Protection, maybe there might be some new interest in revealing all the details about the December 2010 murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry that led to the exposure of the Operation Fast and Furious scandal.
Sometimes referred to by Washington gun rights activists as "the empty holster" because of his gun loss, Kerlikowske had lobbied for tougher gun laws in Olympia while he was Seattle chief. That came to a halt after his pistol was stolen from his department-owned car, which he parked on Dec. 26, 2004 when he went shopping with his wife.
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, issued a congratulatory statement following Kerlikowske's confirmation.
"As one of the Department of Homeland Security's largest operational divisions, Customs and Border Protection plays an essential role in the Department's mission to keep Americans safe by protecting our borders while promoting international trade," Carper said. "I believe that the President made an excellent choice in selecting Mr. Kerlikowske to lead this important agency. His breadth of experience in law enforcement and drug policy prepare him well to take on this role, and our nation will benefit immensely from his leadership. I commend my colleagues for joining me in supporting his nomination and I look forward to working with him in this new position."
This column recently discussed Kerlikowske's lost gun episode as part of a broader look at law enforcement guns that have gone missing.

Kansas City Chiefs and Jamaal Charles reportedly reach a new deal
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Jamaal Charles has reportedly reached a new deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to a report on NFL.com, the Chiefs and their star running back reached a two-year extension. The new deal will make Charles the league's second-highest paid running back.
It's official. #Chiefs sign Jamaal Charles to contract extension. Release to come. pic.twitter.com/mGWNCKL7fw— BJ Kissel (@ChiefsReporter) July 24, 2014
Before signing the new deal, Charles was scheduled to make $3.9 million for the upcoming season. With the new deal, he will earn $8.3 million.
Last year, Charles ran for 1,287 yards and 19 touchdowns. The Chiefs have not officially announced the new deal. Charles was due to report to training camp in St. Joseph, Mo. today.
For what it's worth, Charles tweeted he had no intention of holding out, probably with a little tongue-in-cheek.
I had no intention on holding out...I just ran out of gas on the way to camp and my cell phone battery died. It was a long walk I tell ya.— Jamaal Charles (@jcharles25) July 23, 2014

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Good Fortune Restaurant Review: An enduring institution among Chinese restaurants, Good Fortune continues serving luscious weekend dim sum plus abundantly good Cantonese fare from the regular menu. On weekends, it may be hard to get a table, as the Chinese community often turns out in full force. From the regular menu, look for an assortment of atypical dishes, including shredded abalone and duck soup, marinated cuttlefish, boneless duck stuffed with taro and duck feet with black mushrooms hot pot. On the more familiar side, youll find the usual Po Po platter (aka Pu Pu platter), kung pao chicken, Peking duck, ma po bean curd and the ubiquitous orange beef. But your best bet here is to experiment, as the menu embodies some of the better dishes from the Cantonese kitchen. They often host large Chinese banquets, so you know the food is good.

PROTECT IP Act Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.
About the Author
3 Responses to STOP INTERNET CENSORSHIP: ACT NOW!
Hello, I was lead to this page from ds106.us, by Cynthia Sarver. I have to say I love the motto for your website! I'm a student from Temple University, Japan Campus, in Tokyo.
Not many people have kept up with the "Protect IP Act" or the Internet Blacklist Bill — S.968. It certainly requires attention, and thank you for posting it were a lot of people would care.
As for me, I'm subscribed to this guys:
The demand progress team has been a significant actor against these bills. From a political point of view, they seem very liberal, but politics aside; they are the best source to keep up with all these preposterous laws against the internet.
They email their supporters with every new event, and will most likely ask us to sign petitions. I usually read what it is. They will easily email it to your State Rep. or governor. I have received numerous email from my State politicians telling me my voice has been heard.
Once you sign one petition, your name and email are saved for the next ones, and you just click "send" instead of inputting your info every time. I only participates in the events I care about, and can subscribe when ever I want.
Hi Cynthia! I'm glad you replied. Demand process keeps me meticulously updated :) Although I'm shy to introduce it to people, as they are pretty political, and people unfortunately forget their passions and ethics when it comes to politics :( Funny how it should be the other way around!
As for ds106, I'm ashamed to say I don't know either! However, there's a writing assignment to submit for something we are passionate about, and I think I will do it on this!
See you on the Net!

Soccer Cruises Past Cleveland State, 5-2
Oct. 13, 2002
Chicago, Ill. - Sophomore Patrick Grange tallied two goals to help lead the University of Illinois at Chicago soccer team to the 5-2 Horizon League victory over Cleveland State at Flames Field on Sunday afternoon.
With the victory, UIC improves to 5-6-2 overall and 2-2-1 in Horizon League action, while the Vikings fall to 7-6 on the campaign and 4-1 in league play.
"We showed a lot of patience today," UIC head coach Sasha Begovic said. "We've been talking about patience, controlling the ball and hustling and we came out today and did it."
Jake Stasko got things going for the Flames at the 8:28 mark of the first half as he knocked in a rebound off a Sinisa Ubaparipovic shot to put UIC ahead, 1-0.
Cleveland State answered eight minutes later as Joachim Walker broke free and hauled in a wonderful pass from O.C. Haugen from 30-yards out for a breakaway goal to knot the game up at 1-apiece.
Less than two minutes later, junior Dennis King put the Flames ahead for good as he scored off an indirect kick for his fifth goal of the season.
Grange closed out the scoring for UIC in the first half as he placed a beautiful shot from 10 yards out in the upper left-hand corner of the net to give UIC a 3-1 lead heading into the intermission. King assisted on the play.
The sophomore sensation didn't stop there as Grange scored on a penalty kick at the 72:01 mark, for his team-best seventh goal of the season to push the Flames ahead, 4-1.
Two minutes later, Cleveland State converted a penalty kick of their own as Adam Musser knocked in his first goal of the season to cut UIC's lead in half at 4-2.
UIC added an insurance goal with six minutes left in the contest as senior defender Joe Morelli tallied his sixth goal of the season off a Bruno Rasich corner kick.
Freshman Ross Cain recorded five saves in goal for his fifth victory of the season.
UIC will be back in action on Wednesday afternoon, as they will square off with in-state rival, Northwestern at 3:00 p.m.

Music star wows the SoL
by Sunderland AFC
Record concert crowd witnesses Rihanna concert.
Sunderland's Stadium of Light welcomed more than 57,000 music fans last night as Rihanna's Diamonds World Tour wowed Wearside.
The R&B superstar sparkled at what was the Stadium of Light's biggest-ever concert, entertaining the tens of thousands of fans with her spectacular stage show.
French DJ sensation David Guetta got the party started in dramatic fashion, warming up the already lively crowd with a selection of his high tempo dance tunes - and the party atmosphere continued as the main act took to the stage. Fans were treated to a stunning set punctuated with dazzling pyrotechnics and lasers, as the
The Grammy-winning star worked her way through her repertoire of hits including 'Umbrella', 'Rude Boy' and 'Diamonds'.
At the end of a spectacular night, the Bajan star departed the stage with the words "Sunderland, I love you" – and from the crowd's reaction, Sunderland loved Rihanna too.
Sunderland AFC commercial director, Gary Hutchinson, said: "Rihanna is one of the most popular artists in the world at the moment so to be able to welcome her to the Sunderland was simply fantastic.
"In terms of audience numbers, it was the biggest show we have ever staged at the Stadium of Light and it went very well overall, which is testament to the hard work of all of those involved."
Sunderland's summer concert season comes to an exciting climax on Saturday as the Stadium of Light stages the region's biggest-ever pop show, North East Live.

|Vandals lose epic battle
LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Brian Reader searched for an opening, seeking the open receiver who could save the day for the Idaho Vandals. He didn't find one and, on the last play of the Idaho-New Mexico State thriller at Memorial Stadium, he was run down and sacked.
It was a bitter ending to a game during which Princeton McCarty ran like a player possessed. One during which special teams came up with one big play then another. And one during which the defense, with a couple of exceptions, was stalwart in the face of a persistent Aggie offense.
The result was a 31-24 Western Athletic Conference loss – it was the 10th game in this 18-game series to have been decided by one touchdown or less.
"It was a battle," Idaho coach Robb Akey said. "It was a whale of a football game. It did not have a happy ending. We had a chance to make that play.
"We're all hurting."
Idaho's defense came up with stop after stop, while the special teams scored three times – a punt return, a kick return and a field goal. It wasn't enough to support an offense that gained just 281 total yards.
"The defense responded well after the beginning of the game," Akey said. "They had pretty good control – when we did give up a big play, we were able to respond."
The Vandals lost the costly turnover battle with three fumbles and one interception going to the Aggies, with Trey Williams coming up with Idaho's lone steal, which set up the Vandals only offensive touchdown in the first quarter.
The Aggies shot out to a quick 14-0 lead with less than three minutes elapsed in the game. First, they scored on a quick seven-play, 69-yard drive with 12:31 left in the opening quarter then they recovered Justin Veltung's kickoff return fumble. A 20-yard Matt Christian to Kemonte` Bateman made it 14-0 with 12:17 left in the first.
The Vandals went three-and-out on their first possession but Trey Williams recovered Austin Franklin's fumble on the punt return to give the Vandals the ball at the NMSU 6. After an incomplete pass (the ball was caught barely out of bounds), Princeton McCarty first carried the ball five yards then one to score for Idaho with 10:10 left in the first.
Not to be outdone, the Aggies were back on the scoreboard 17 seconds later with Taveon Rogers' 100-yard kickoff for a 21-7 lead.
After holding NMSU on its next possession (thanks in large part to a Conrad Scheidt tackle for loss and a Homer Mauga sack), Idaho marched to the Aggie 27 before stalling and calling on kicker Trey Farquhar for a 45-yard field goal attempt. His kick was good to cut NMSU's lead to 21-10 with 2:05 left in the first.
The second quarter was a back-and-forth defensive tussle with Idaho's defense limiting the Aggies to just 25 total yards. On the flipside, the Vandals gained but 77.
Justin Veltung started the Vandals off on the right foot in the third quarter when, after the Idaho defense held the Aggies deep in their territory, he returned a punt 64 yards to score with 10:58 left in the third. Farquhar's kick was good to close the gap to 21-17.
The Aggies, however, responded with an interception by Donyae Coleman to set up a short-field TD – a one-yard Travaughn Coleman to Bateman pass to wrap up the five-play, 29-yard drive with 7:06 left in the third.
The madcap scoring continued when McCarty returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards to score just 14 second later. With Farquhar's kick, the Vandals were back within four, 28-24, with 6:52 to play.
The Aggies bumped their lead back to seven on Tyler Stampler's 20-yard field goal with 13:11 left in the game but it was a credible effort by the Vandal defense, which forced the field goal by holding when the Aggies had first-and-goal from the Idaho 4.

On Thursday, June 30th, China announced the opening of the world's longest cross-sea Bridge. The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge connects China's Eastern port city of Qingdao with the island of Huangdao and is a mere 26 miles long. Bridges of this size don't come cheap… even in China. The 110 foot-wide bridge required more than 5,000 support pillars and cost upwards of USD $1.5 billion.
The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge took more than four years to build but is anticipated to cut travel time between the two cities in half. Approximately 30,000 cars will drive over this bridge each day.
Maybe they will even hold marathons across it one day… talk about a nice view.

The United States is not the only country with water issues. A harsh drought in Central China along the Yangtze River region has left maybe people and fields thirsty. The Hubei Province currently has almost 1,400 reservoirs that are temporarily unusable from the low supply of water available. Certain areas along the river are coming close to record lows. A five month drought in China doesn't only affect the land. Droughts have a negative domino effect not only on the people, but on trade routes, livestock and crops. In today's global marketplace, it is likely that world prices for commodities could rise as shipping becomes more time consuming and agriculture production is hindered.
Conditions have gotten so bad, that the Three Gorges Dam was called up to make its second emergency discharge in order to ease the drought. The Three Gorges Dam is the single largest hydroelectric project in the world and released 400 million cubic meters of water during early May. This large discharge is meant to help ease shipments traveling along the Yangstze and ease concerns for the people of the nearby cities.
Reports have shown that last week, more than 300,000 people and 90,000 livestock in Hubei were short on drinking water. Farmland was not spared either, with more than 2 million acres that have been affected by this season's droughts. The drought has also affected nearly the nearby province of Hunan has at least 300,000.
Hopefully some much need rain will show up in the upcoming weeks.
As of Saturday, the drought had left 315,000 people and 97,300 livestock in the Hubei short of drinking water, and more than two million acres of farmland had been affected, Xinhua reported. In neighboring Henan Province, the drought had affected at least 320,000 people.china drought, china drought 2011, china rain, china water, effects of china drought, hubei drought, hunan drought, three gorges dam.
China was the world largest consumer and importer of Bordeaux wine in 2010. That is astonishing to me, considering that French-style red wine has only recently began to draw a significant following amongst Chinese consumers.
According to the Bordeaux Wine Council, China imported 33.5 million bottles of Bordeaux wine last year. That is $475 million USD worth of French wine tingling the palates of Chinese wine lovers. China in fact, has become much more of a wine-oh country in the last six or seven years. They now import over $1 Billion USD worth of wine, which is more than four times the amount imported in 2004.
If you have your own label, (I wish I did) I would highly consider formulating a market entry strategy to break into what could quite possibly be the world's largest wine market very soon.
China is also in the midst of a large wine expo, called the "2011 Wine China Exhibition" located in both Beijing and Shanghai. The events began on April 17th and will continue through April 20th, ending in Shanghai. Wine from all over the world will be celebrated, tasted and enjoyed. If you are interested in learning more, here is the exhibition's site. I definitely plan on attending one of these years.china french wine, china imports, china wine, china wine consumption, China wine imports, china wine market, selling to china.

Despite fears that China's efforts to decrease inflation would decrease economic growth, the production numbers still indicate a rise in China Manufacturing this March. March's Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) rose from 52.2 in February, to 53.4 in March.
According to economists, China's central bank will increase interest rates again this quarter to further curb inflation. Some argue that this will eventually hurt China's overall economy in addition to slowing the growth, but only time can tell.
The manufacturing sector in the United States also grew this past March. It was the 20th consecutive month for manufacturing growth. In fact, it was also the 22nd consecutive month for overall economy growth as well. The PMI for March was 61.4 percent, which is down from February's 61.4 percent, but any number above 50 indicates growth. The economy also grew by 3.1 percent during the last quarter of 2010.china economy, China manufacturing, china production, PMI, U.S. manufacturing, US manufacturing growth.
Last month, China's newest Five Year Plan (FYP) was developed at the Annual Sessions of China's National People's Congress. At the center of the 12th FYP is possibly their most ambitious energy goal to date. The new plan calls for a reduction of energy intensity by 16 percent over the next five years. As the goal is quite bold, it is possible considering that during the previous FYP, China managed to reduce energy by 20 percent.
Other goals of the FYP include a plan to reduce pollution and reduce China's dependency on fossil fuels. China is aiming to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 17 percent and to increase the use of non-fossil fuels from 8 percent (current state) to 11.4 percent in 5 years.
When it comes to implementation, China has decided to encourage development and foreign investment in industries that will increase their ability to move towards these green goals. They will be executing programs to support growth in the high-end manufacturing industries such as clean energy, various service industries and environmental protection.
Of course, there are supporters and opponents of the newest FYP. Supporters of the plan include environmental protection groups and clean energy groups who are encouraged by China's step towards a greener country. Some opponents say however, that the plan could be too ambitious and that some of the other goals included in the plan may be conflicting with their green initiatives; such as the target to build upwards of 40 new airports over the next five years.
Ambitious or not, achievable or not, changes are on their way for foreign investors and where different incentives will be placed in the upcoming years.Tags: China Energy, china energy goals, china five year plan, china investment, china's new energy goals, china's new plan, five year plan.

The improvement and increase in construction of New Mexico highways will prove to be a major economic advantage for the Land of Enchantment.
Thanks to the influence of U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., the Senate on Monday approved $50 billion for transportation improvements, and New Mexico's cut of the pie will be beneficial for both large cities and the smaller communities.
Pending approval by President Clinton, who is expected to sign the 2000 Transportation Appropriations bill, New Mexico will receive $8.7 million for bus purchases and operating bus routes around the state, $7 million for Albuquerque's transit department for continued research on alternative transportation systems and the development of a light rail system, $2 million for an improvement project where Interstates 25 and 40 intersect in Albuquerque and $3 million for a commuter rail in Santa Fe.
Domenici, a member of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee, said the bill attempts to address New Mexico's transportation needs. His Democratic counterpart in the Senate, Jeff Bingaman, agreed the money will lead to bigger and better things for New Mexico.
"This bill makes a significant investment in our basic transportation infrastructure," Bingaman said.
Any increase in economic development in New Mexico will depend in part on an adequate infrastructure system and a highway system that will connect cities and communities with larger thoroughfares.
While Albuquerque will receive a large portion of the allotment, the $8.7 million appropriated for improved bus services will benefit the entire state.
This will include the smaller rural communities where economic expansion is more difficult.
These federal funds appropriately address the needs of the larger communities in New Mexico while not completely eliminating the little guy from the equation.

Gene Kelly: All the Right Moves
Most people know Gene Kelly as a dancer, an actor, occasional singer and perhaps someone who enjoys a rainy day more than most. Some might even know he was a groundbreaking director and choreographer, too. But there's a lot people don't know about the handsome hoofer from Pittsburgh. And that's where the Film Society of Lincoln Center comes in. They're currently in the middle of a two week retrospective on Kelly. This August just happens to be the 100th anniversary of his birth.
I was lucky enough to attend an Evening with Gene Kelly at the Walter Reade Theater last night, hosted by Kelly's wife, film historian Patricia Ward Kelly - a thoroughly fascinating woman in her own right. Various film clips of some of Kelly's most famous musical numbers were punctuated by Patricia's insightful commentary, revealing anecdotes and warm recollections of her late husband. She also dug into stacks of boxes on stage and pulled out some of Gene's old things to share with us - choreography notes, sweet valentines Gene wrote to her...an Irish shillelagh he kept by his bedside.
Perhaps what most surprised me to learn, and maybe it shouldn't have, was Gene's voracious appetite for knowledge and his fierce intelligence. According to Patricia, Gene spoke multiple languages (French and Latin, among them) and liked to quote poetry. The two of them seemed to have quite a connection, despite their 46 year (!) age difference. When they met in 1985, Patricia was 26 and Gene was 73. She didn't even know who "Gene Kelly" was! She got to know the man behind the star, and that's who she was able to show us last night.
After all these years, Gene still has the power to captivate. During the clips they showed, there were audible gasps from the audience ("He's sooo good looking!" "He makes it look so easy!").
And indeed, he did make it look so easy. Here are my favorite examples:
The "Alter Ego" dance from 1944's Cover Girl
"The Newspaper Dance" from 1950's Summer Stock
"The Roller Skate Dance" from 1955's It's Always Fair Weather. Because he's tap dancing. On roller skates.

Well,@Wade I guess it is possible after all, we've seen a lot of unbelievable tricks with the use of roller boots, right? As of this day, I've seen a roller skater who tries to go hiking, I know it sounds weird but believe it or not he did it.

At this time and day, everything is pretty much possible now. You see, doing stunts using various kinds of vehicles may it be roller skates or cars can all be done easily.

TC TO LADY STANLEY ; 7 February 1856; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18560207-TC-LST-01; CL 31: 25
Chelsea, 7 feby, 1856—
Dear Lady Stanley,
I need not say, "I would with much pleasure"; for that you already know, this long while past! But the sad fact is, I am so low and sickly I cannot go out to dine at all, in these weeks,—but have to sit mournful at home; up to the chin in old "Brandenburg rubbish," unhappy that I am! I hope to get sight of you soon, some morning; and that you will drop a tear over me from those fine eyes.
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

This has to be one of the earliest photos from Firebird (likely 1968). One reason: look how black the asphalt is as this `33 Willys coupe launches down the quarter-mile. This shot predates barriers on the side of the track and check out the original timing tower, which is sitting on 4 eight-by-eight square poles. To originally gain access into the timing deck, you had to climb into the tower with the aid of a ten foot ladder - now those were the good ole days! You'll also notice the early Fire Truck in the background. Don't know for sure who the altered is raced by, but it looks wicked fast with the injected/velocity stack set-up on what appears to be a very big-inched combination.
These early photos are just too cool.

Green Economy in a Blue World - Fishery
The fisheries sector – in particular small-scale fisheries and aquaculture – is important in the transition towards a green economy due to its interconnectivity with and reliance on aquatic ecosystems, and the potential for people employed in it to act as stewards of the wider marine environment to a larger extent than they already do. As well as being a rich source of protein, many fish provide vital nutrition and health benefits through provision of minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids.
This map tries to show the relations between nutrition in the form of fish protein, aquaculture and marine fishery production. Combining these sectors in a sustainable way could lead to a more healthy habitat for fish species and a better supply of nutrition for everybody.

Pre-Market: Apple Profit Margins Shrink; Retail Sales Unexpectedly Fall
Vincent Trivett
But Apple CEO Tim Cook promised that it's "going to be an iPad Christmas."
Stock futures were slightly higher today, but some troubling economic data could worry investors as the Fed begins its monthly meeting.
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) futures were up 0.09% at 15,532 and contracts on the
(INDEXSP:.INX) rose 0.10% to 1,760.50.
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures gained 0.07% to 3,355.50.
A bevy of economic datapoints comes out today as the Federal Reserve begins its two-day policy meeting. Retail sales slumped in September. While economists expected sales to be flat after rising 0.2% in August, actual retail sales fell 0.1% from the month before. Excluding autos and gas, sales increased 0.4%. Producer prices fell 0.1% last month.
Still to come is the August S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which is likely to show a 0.7% monthly increase in prices in the 20 cities that it tracks. Home prices were likely 12.4% higher than a year ago. Also later this morning is this month's consumer confidence numbers, which are expected to fall to 75 from 79.7 last month as the government shutdown and furloughs probably weighed on economic sentiment.
The results of the FOMC meeting will be announced tomorrow afternoon. Market watchers are expecting the Fed to hold off on reducing its monthly bond buying this month as employment indicators are still weak.
(NASDAQ:AAPL) shares are up just slightly this morning after the company reported that earnings in the previous quarter were lower than a year ago. EPS fell by $0.41 to $8.26, but revenue rose 4% to $37.5 billion. Mac sales fell to 4.6 million from 4.9 million. Two new iPhone models pushed handset sales to 33.8 million, up from 26.9 million in 2012. The decline in margin is mostly attributed to competition from other Apple products, such as the iPad Mini, which has a lower margin than the bigger iPad. Overall iPad revenue fell 13% from a year ago. CEO Tim Cook promised on the earnings call that this holiday season is "going to be an iPad Christmas" thanks to the recent introduction of new models.
Pfizer Inc
(NYSE:PFE) earnings fell by 19% in the last quarter. The pharmaceutical giant, still reeling from the loss of exclusivity for Lipitor, saw profit fall to $0.39 per share from $0.43 per share last year. The company reduced its earnings guidance for the year by $0.05 to $2.15 per share.
(NYSE:HLF), the multi-level marketer, beat earnings expectations yesterday with earnings of $1.41 per share and $1.21 billion in revenue.
At the close of the trading day,
(NASDAQ:YELP), and
(NASDAQ:GRPN) will all report earnings.
Michael Kors Holdings Ltd.
(NYSE:KORS) rallied 2.7% this morning on news that it will join the S&P 500 after Friday's close.

When Bay County students and teachers begin the 2009-2010 school year, they'll be dealing with some major changes. This February, school board members voted to close or re-purpose a number of area schools to save money. Thursday, about 1,500 teachers and administrators packed the Marina Civic Center for their first in-service of the year.
Bay District Schools Superintendent Bill Husfelt says, "With the economy being so tough and so many things that we've had to do in the district, closing schools and everything, we just wanted to bring the teachers back and tell them we appreciate them."
Past graduates and families addressed the group, telling the teachers how they have shaped their lives. Organizers also updated the educators on changes in the school dress code, by way of a fashion show. Teachers say they have been prepping all summer for class to start.
Bay Haven teacher Jennifer Milli says, "I'm looking forward to the challenge of teaching in an FCAT year." New teachers face a different type of challenge. Linda Warren, who is a new teacher at Hiland Park Elementary School, says, "The first day of school, is like not only will the children have first-day jitters, I will, too."
Nerves aside, some students say they're ready for that bell to ring. Fourth grader Tanner McDonald says, "I like doing the math, and on the playground, and I like writing stories." Superintendent Husfelt says this is the most appropriate way to start the school year: "I had goosebumps this morning when it first started, because so many people, you could just feel the excitement building."
Teachers agree, saying events like this assembly help the district succeed. Warren says, "It's a great profession. I'm proud to be able to say I'm a teacher."
Bay District schools serve about 25,000 students across the county.

Devolver is going to be bringing a new game in 2015 called Fistful of Gun. In what is the Devolver tradition, Fistful of Gun looks like an over the top shooter if screen shots that starting circulating Friday morning are any indication.
Devolver is the maker of the super-popular Hotline Miami and the soon to be released follow-up Hotline Miami 2. Devolver has also show off its ability to diversify with the creation of Hatoful Boyfriend. Fistful of Gun is being shown off as Devolver's colorful arcade style shooter that can be played by up to eight different players.
In this regard, Devolver is certainly putting out a different kind of game, considering that both Hotline Miamis are single player shooters. Fistful of Gun actually started off as a freeware game but it will be getting a proper release, likely through steam in the near future.
Devolver will also be showing off the game at Pax Prime and those who are in attendance will actually be able to get their hands on this title ahead of its release. As Destructoid points out, Pax is the perfect place to try out Devolver's newest title because there certainly won't be a shortage of people to play with.
Just how this game will play out in its PC form will be something people will want to check out, as well as whether or not all eight people are going against each other or working together to kill off common foes. Devolver's Fistful of Gun will be hitting PC sometime in 2015, in the meantime check out the gallery.

Welcome to part II of our interview with Linda MacDonald, Editor-at-Large of Flea Market Style magazine. If you missed part I click here.
Flea Market Style magazine
For those that smile at the thought of shopping a flea market, the cover of Flea Market Style magazine is going to cause you to grin from ear to ear!
The cover echos what Linda promised in part I of our interview -- "Flea Market Style (FMS) magazine will be filled with color, style ideas, decorating, collecting ideas and tools to help the reader carve out their own style and help them embrace vintage style with a modern approach...one that reflects their desire for great style on a realistic budget."
Upon seeing the cover I had to ask...
Will FMS have how-tos? Yes. Although most projects will be very simple and easily actionable, we will include tips and steps for the more challenging ones.
Can you share a little bit about one project that you are excited for the readers to see? Well, it's not a project, but there is one image that springs to mind that when I saw it I literally gasped! I can't reveal more, but I will tell you it involves lace. Of course, I am also excited that my daughter's playhouse is being featured! Matthew shot the prettiest photo of her for it and, as a proud mum, I got a lump in my throat when I saw it!
What has surprised you the most about the process of creating the FMS magazine? Just how much work, planning, dedication and passion goes into creating a magazine that will be well-received by readers. Personally, I have experienced photo shoots, planning meetings, and have seen early spreads from the art director (Stacey Willey) and head writer (Sarah Egge). It is an exciting process and everyone involved is incredible at what they do.
How many times a year will the magazine be published? Presently, we are scheduled to produce one; but we are hoping to have the magazine picked up as a Quarterly (at least), so stay tuned...Of course, if readers want to help make that happen, the best thing they can do is buy the magazine when it hits the shelves!
Can I subscribe to the magazine? Not at this time. However, if the magazine becomes a regular feature, subscription services will be offered. We will keep you posted on that, but one way to ensure it will happen is to go out and buy a magazine...or two or three! Oh, and tell all your friends to buy one, too!!
How much will the magazine cost per issue? Flea Market Style is a 144 page magazine, which is larger than most other magazines, and will be priced at $9.95 (U.S.dollars). When you see it, you will realize it is a magazine for your coffee table, rather than one that will languish in a newspaper caddy. It will be a publication you will reach for over and over!
When do you anticipate the magazine will be on available? The official word is that it will be in Barnes and Noble on February 19th, but the unofficial word is that it hit newsstands today…so check out your local stores.
Where can I find Flea Market Style once it debuts? Flea Market Style will be carried in most grocery and bookstores in the U.S. and Canada, as well as small and large retailers. We will post a more detailed list of vendors as the release date draws near.

Robin and Linda: A Cure to the Thursday Blues
February 1, 2010
A note from Robin and Linda Williams
Dear Friends,
It's a beautiful, sunny and cold day in Middlebrook, VA with a bright blue sky and seven inches of fresh white snow, a perfectly clear day. Luckily we haven't had to go anywhere and we've spent the day getting a lot of small things done.
We are getting ready to head to St. Paul, MN and are excited to be part of the live Cinecast of A Prairie Home Companion this Thursday. It could be the perfect way to cure the Thursday blues. There'll be a fine cast of regular Prairie Home folks along with Elvis Costello. Who'd have thought we'd ever get to do a show with him. Of course we said the same thing about Chet Atkins, Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter and many other wonderful performers. We'll just do our work and be our usual charming selves. That's all we can do.
-Robin & Linda
