This is me on New Year's Eve at a party held in the loft of Molly Crabapple and Fred Harper. It was late, well after 2:00, and though it's hard to see it, my lipstick is smeared from kissing girls. It has become my custom to ring in the new year at Molly and Fred's, and to do it in lingerie, pressing my lips to those of other women. I don't remember the last time I kissed a man on New Year's Eve. It might have been 2006.
In this photo, I'm kneeling astraddle Molly and Fred's bed. My friend Najva Sol, a talented photographer, pronounced me "New Years" and said she wanted to document it. She shoved an empty magnum of Freixenet Champagne in my hands, and circled the bed, iPhone in hand, until she snapped this image. I'm much in love with it. The twinkly lights, the undulating messy bed linens, the fuchsia of my lingerie, the quicksilver slice of my cheekbones—even the roundness of my tummy—I love it all.
Writing about photography, Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes converge on the point that as photography captures an image it gestures toward death. "All photographs are momento mori," Sontag writes in On Photography; Barthes writes in Camera Lucida, "by shifting this reality to the past…the photograph suggests that it is already dead." You can't capture a moment on film (or its digital equivalent) without pinning it like a butterfly to a corkboard. To keep it is to kill it. Don't ask for whom the shutter clicks, it clicks for thee.
Perhaps. It might be that at 51 I feel a sense of urgency to document, to capture, to keep, and to look because I realize that my flesh—and my time on this wet blue planet—is finite. My body, I have realized in the past decade, can and will betray me. It's merely a matter of time. So when I look at pictures like the one Najva took of me at Molly's party, or the selfie I took of myself at another Molly party earlier in December, I feel that sense of conjoined immediate nostalgia and death. But that's not all. Often I feel joy.
Being 51, I'm also aware that proudly, unabashedly, unashamedly taking photographs of myself, face and/or body, is a radical act. At 51, I'm supposed to be a shadow woman, gliding grey and ghostly into that good night. I'm not supposed to be drawing attention to my looks. In fact, I'm not supposed to look good; at best, I'm supposed to look good for my age. Thus, to draw attention to myself is to engage in a radical act and to document it smacks of the political, or at least as much as it does the narcissistic.
Recently I sat for Symon Chow, a photographer whose work I've admired for a while. He took a bunch of pictures of me naked on my couch, my girl dog snoozing beside me. Over the two hours that he was at my apartment, I got progressively more naked, and we finished the shoot with me on my bed. The shot of my lower body and my dogs is from this last part of the shoot.
Symon tends to what sociologist and writer Nathan Jurgenson would call "faux-vintage," a style of photography that Jurgenson might argue, "increasingly force us to view our present as always a potential documented past," particularly when contextualized within the rush-rush flotsam of social media. Our ephemeral, ever-scrolling ways have turned images into a hot-and-cold running stream; only by arresting them in time, whether through the callow manipulation of images to make them appear older or through the use of mercurial platforms like Snapchat, can we give images gravitas.
For my shoot, Symon chose a blown-out '70s Polaroid style. He might have seen my butthole, he said, but by the time he tweaks the image, it won't read. It'll be obscured, to my thinking, by the hagiography of our shared cultural history. Symon and I have corresponded for years, but we didn't meet until the day I shucked my clothes and posed for him. Both middle-aged, we are colored by those '70s hagiographic hazes. They are burned into our beings.
TBH, I'm a bit obsessed with photos of me. Part of my obsession derives from the radicalism that is the #selfieofacertainage. Part of my obsession comes from my sheer giddiness over how I look. I'm quite in love with the way I look these days; I want to revel in it, and I want my revelry joined by others. And part of my obsession derives from an inversion of something that Barthes said.
Barthes said that photography "produces Death while trying to preserve life." I'd argue its sidelong opposite. I'd say that photography produces life while trying to deny death. I've lived more than half my life—in fact, I've an app on my phone, the same phone that I use to take a disconcerting number of selfies, that counts down the number of days I've left to live. 10,900 it announced today.
So little time, so much to celebrate.

Teaching Textures
Play with items with a variety of "feels." The sensory stimulation is great for baby, and it begins teaching her about her physical environment. For example, let her feel the silky edge of a baby blanket, or the nubby yarn of a crocheted blanket; a toy whose plastic is perfectly smooth, versus a toy that's squishy.

- FreshMaps: New map cuttings for Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe for MN6
With every new map you receive many new details, updates and POI extensions. In spite of modern data compression methods, the storage space requirements of digital SD cards are increasing with every new version.
However, navigation devices using MobileNavigator 6 can only run with a 2 GB memory card.
Therefore, the European map for these devices has been separated in different cuttings which fit onto the provided 2 GB memory card. NAVIGON has developed the cuttings depending on the most common travelling profiles to make the choice of the map easier for you.
Just choose the cutting which matches your travelling behavior the best when you install the new map. If you are planning to travel another region during your journey, which is not covered by the cutting that you have installed, you are able to install another region via NAVIGON Fresh.
Which map is the right one for me?
A) The Northern Europe map covers the following countries:
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Vatican City
You will find an image of the map coverage here.
B) The Southern Europe map covers the following countries:
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Vatican City

Birdie in the Tree
I don't have a very good photo lens. So, I'm surprised I was able to capture this bird at all. He was high up in the tree that was quite a distance from me. I spotted him because he was chatting away with excitement. Just like the people walking around, I think he must have been excited about all the snow.
Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? It's my first time seeing one like this.

Alright, Outblushers, this is pretty cool - a 1963 Japanese-made Transistor Radio ($25). It's an Etsy piece so there's only one in stock which will likely sell pretty quickly, but we had to show you this quirky vintage piece, even if only for future design inspiration. Please note that although the radio turns on, it doesn't tune. Like that matters though, who listens to the radio these days anyway?
Ok, the Etsy item sold already, so we have another source for the exact same thing (looks like it anyway). Check it out!

The Dead Island series has a major year ahead of itself with two new installments coming to retailers. First up though, is past-gen iteration ESCAPE Dead Island, which is a spin-off that will connect the action-packed events of the first Dead Island with those that will take place in Dead Island 2.
Just call ESCAPE Dead Island the bridge between the two stories. ESCAPE will be launching this coming Nov. 18 and will only be available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The game will be bringing yet another gorgeous setting for the entire story to be carried out in. The intense and graphic melee combat you've come to expect from the series is back in ESCAPE Dead Island, as are the insane, hidden treasures scattered throughout the game's world.
Hordes of zombies will be presenting players with plenty of unique opportunities to utilize their diverse arsenal of weapons that will all lead into the Dead Island 2 installment next year. This is a great way for players to learn more about the Dead Island universe before the new game hits next year, or it'll serve as a delicious appetizer to what we are going to see when Dead Island 2 launches in Spring of 2015. It depends on how experienced you are with the series.
Ready up for Dead Island 2 with the Nov. 18 launch of ESCAPE Dead Island. It will be launching on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and you can check out the new trailer above.

'Golden Routes' project sets out
Commencing on 2 December with the backing of the Istanbul 2010 European Culture Capital Agency, the Golden Routes project is going to bring the modern art and artists of Turkey to Europe in a number of artistic events to be held along four different routes through 29 cities in 18 countries through the year 2010.
The first phase of the project got underway with 'In the Footsteps of Jules Verne/A Black Sea Journey'. This phase will trace the route home found by Keraban Ağa, the main protagonist of the eponymous novel, 'İnatçı Keraban Ağa', after a tax was levied on him by the sultan in the 19th century. Events will be organized in the cities of Varna in Bulgaria, Constance in Rumania, Odessa in Ukraine, Sochi in Russia and Batumi in Georgia, all of which lie on the route.
Continuing into the Balkans in April-May 2009, the project will go through Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina 'In the Footsteps of Evliya Çelebi'. In its third phase, 'In the Footsteps of Piri Reis', it aims to bring the cultures of the Mediterranean together in various cities of Spain, France, Italy and Greece. The project's fourth and final phase, 'In the Footsteps of Franz Lizst', will end in the Hungarian city of Pecs.

CRASHprez is a local Hip-Hop artist who has done collaborations with a variety of other Milwaukee talents such as Cold Medina (Higher Education Records). A while ago he released an EP with another familiar name, *Hitmayng (RAGELIFE). The two collaborated on a project called Fear Itself. which was released via the new Catch Wreck label started by *Hitmayng. It's a six song EP dedicated to exploring mortality, survival, and the experience of being a Black male in 'post-racial' America. Additionally, it serves as the label's first official offering. Sounds pretty deep right? Continue reading below to see which couple of songs lingered with The Examiner long after the EP stopped playing.
The production here is gratifying. The sturdy base, foreboding musical elements, spirited tempo, and severe vibe come together fittingly. The hook is engaging. The delivery is lively and the lyrics are forward. The verses are quality. CRASHprez exhibits a quick flow, edgy wordplay, and no-nonsense rhymes. He makes it very clear that he has absolutely no tolerance for anything that he considers to be foolishness.
A handful of lines worth noticing are: "F--k you talking about? We on our f--king grind, s--t. F--k yo Word Press and yo blog and every lie b---h. I raise my double cup of water. Ha, see 'em in hell. Who's that motherf---er trying to kill us (...)? Me boy. What America don't want you to see boy. Not no doppelganger or decoy. I'm a human who can die. I talk my s--t while I'm alive." Those are some piercing bars right there. Overall, this a very arresting record.
"Do Somethin"
The production here is choice. The grounded foundation, eclectic secondary components, unique rhythm, and disciplined vibe make for a favorable mixture. The hook is on point as well. The delivery is intense and the lyrics are clear-cut. The verses are intriguing. CRASHprez serves up an animated flow, cutting wordplay, and outspoken crucial rhymes. He conveys a very striking message about the current treatment of Black males in today's society.
Absorb it as he spits: "Can't name 'em all but they in the ground. Dead Black boys all made me lose count. (...) A little blood shed to a plain white tee. A dead Black soul to some plain white sheets. For all intents and purposes, I'm pre-ordering hearses. Keep one on the side just in case they ride and prove to me I ain't worth a s--t. Jim Crow back. I said that's Jim Crow back. If they put Prez in the prison they couldn't get more Black, ya dig." That's an unforgettable way to close out the track right there. As a whole, this was a really compelling number and a site favorite. A video for the single can be viewed above.
Fear Itself. is an interesting EP. It definitely pushes the envelope content wise which makes for an exciting listen. Also, CRASHprez delivers everything in an attention grabbing fashion and his way with words is pretty impressive. The production is prime too. I dig the project and I believe fans with an open mind will like it as well. The only way to know for sure though is to hit up Band Camp and give the album an ear from start to finish. Salute to CRASHprez for taking a chance and sharing his music with us.

After three hours of bad-tempered talks with Tony Blair, the Chancellor still wore a big smile.
Mr Brown had apparently won a promise that the Premier will finally come clean about his departure plans.

Minutemen Take Two From St. Joseph's
May 10, 2003
Game One Box Score
AMHERST, Mass. - Senior designated hitter Chris Morgan (Cranston, R.I.) went three for six with a homer and five runs batted in, to lead the University of Massachusetts baseball team to a sweep of a doubleheader with St. Joseph's at Earl Lorden Field. The Minutemen won the first came 10-2, before posting a 6-5 win in the night cap. UMass improves to 24-16 and 14-6 in the Atlantic 10, while the Hawks fall to 16-31 and 9-14 in the A-10.
In the first game, St. Joseph's jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first on two unearned runs, before the Minutemen came back with 10 unanswered runs. Junior shortstop Mike Athas (Holyoke, Mass.) drove in the go ahead run in the bottom of the second, while Morgan added a three-run homer in the fourth. Junior righthander Eric Chown (Fall River, Mass.) earned the win, allowing no earned runs on six hits in a complete game effort. St. Joseph's first baseman John Kokol led the Hawks by going three for four with an RBI.
In the second contest, UMass took a 3-0 lead in the first thanks to an RBI double by senior first baseman Jeff Altieri (Whitinsville, Mass.) and an RBI single from freshman outfielder Frank Curreri (Weymouth, Mass.). The Hawks took the lead with four runs in the third, but UMass came back to take a 5-4 lead in the fourth on a two-run single by senior catcher Tom Ellerbrook (Northampton, Mass.). After St. Joseph's tied the game at 5-5 in the top of the seventh, Morgan drove in Ellerbrook with an RBI single in the bottom of the inning to end the game. St. Joseph's catcher Mike DeLorenzo went three for three with a double to lead the Hawks.

The ride up to Bear Mountain was great. There were ample amounts of seats aboard the boat. You were able to bring your picnic basket full of goodies for your lunch and breakfast for the day. You had the option of sitting on the inside or the outside of the boat. You had to get there early as people were hoarding seats. Going to Bear Mountain, I sat on the inside of the boat. The scenery was awesome as it is the same scenery that I see when I go upstate to Albany by Amtrak. In spite of it all the tour guide tells us about some of the landmarks that we were approaching.
I didn't realized that when you arrive at Bear Mountain that you actually have to climb up that mountain. It was a hot day and sweat was dripping from every part of my body. Upon getting up the mountain you venture into a whack Oktoberfest. The only thing that I purchased was four green peppers and an ankle bracelet.
I managed to get back to the boat in time as you had to be back by 3:00 p.m. or there would be another boat to pick you up next week at the same time. We were the first back on the boat and got a seat outside.
Surprising enough when I got home I purchased a beer at an amazing price and enjoyed it. On the boat the price of the beer was $7.00.
There was one incident where this young girl could not hold her alcohol and passed out cold before leaving the boat.

The boat ride takes approximately 2.5 hours. You will then have 3 hours at Bear Mountain to enjoy at your leisure. You will need to be back on board by 3:00pm for the ride back.
Please be advised, there is a steep hillside trail leading to the Oktoberfest.
No outside food or beverages are allowed on the boat. There is a concession stand on board the vessel where you can purchase food and drinks.

With nearly $120,000 in prize money to be awarded at the end of the event, the competition among teams participating in The Great Race is serious, indeed. However, all you need do is to look at a list of those teams to realize that there's room for some fun, too.
The Great Race, which began June 23 in Traverse City, Michigan, is open to vehicles produced before the 1970 model year. This year's race -- the 30th such competition -- drew nearly 100 cars, each with a driver and at least one navigator. Those vehicles range from a 1907 Renault to a 1969 Saab, and with seemingly everything in between, including Fords, Chevys, Buicks, Hudsons, Packards, even a Studebaker, a Nash, a Peerless and a Hupmobile.
And one team is competing in true comfort -- a 1958 Rolls Royce.
Each team has selected a name, and this year's entries include the Professor & the Tooth Fairy, Old Age & Treachery, Two Old Men in a Studebaker, the Beerster Boys, the Dynamic Duo, Ragtop Rookies and Yooper Special.
And although one team has a much more formal name -- Historic Vehicle Association -- and a very serious mission -- helping to raise money to help families impacted by autism -- its driver and co-driver are wearing poodle skirts and period hairdos, and they've nicknamed their 1954 Oldsmobile Super 88 the "misadventure."
Or maybe I just misunderstood and it's really "Miss Adventure," though "misadventure" might be more accurate since the car already had suffered mechanical problems even before the competition began.
And that competition is serious. The Great Race -- officially Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty -- is not about all-out speed but the driver, navigator and vehicle's ability to reach checkpoints along the route at specified times and mileages. Make a wrong turn or check in a second late and it costs you points and places in the standings.
But while the competition is serious, the camaraderie becomes even more important.
Everyone loves the old cars, but it's the people who make this event, says Corky Coker, whose family not only owns the company that produces tires for vintage vehicles, but who liked the Great Race so much he became its owner, though you wouldn't know he was anything more than a typical volunteer if you'd seen him and heard his banter as he directed each vehicle to its parking place as they prepared for the start of the race in downtown Traverse City.
"The spectators who come and the people in the race are the best," he said. "They're passionate and everyone is having fun."
And while they are here to win, he added, once the driving is done every day, competitors will do whatever they can to help keep everyone on the road. Coker said he's even seen a team loan its spare engine just to keep a competitor from being sidelined.
From Traverse City, the competitors headed across the Mackinac Bridge into Michigan's Upper Peninsula and then crossed the international bridge at Sault Ste. Marie into Ontario. They re-enter the United States at the east end of Lake Ontario, and spend nights at Watertown and Buffalo, New York, as well as Warren and Findlay, Ohio, before crossing the finish line July 1 in Dearborn.
Dingman sale does $9.88 million
RM Auctions sale of Michael Dingman's car and automotive sign collection generated $9.88 million. The sale included nearly 50 vehicles and more than 1,000 signs, many of them neon.
"The Dingman Collection was without question one of the finest of its kind," said RM co-founder Mike Fairbairn, who added that "the results speak for themselves," both in terms of the quality of the collection and of RM's ability in "single-vendor" auctions.
Dingman was a Ford Motor Company board member for more than 20 years and is a well-known auto racer and New England businessman. His Pebble Beach class-winning 1936 ford Custom cabriolet by Glaser sold for $396,000 and his 1938 Lincoln Zephyr coupe brought $330,000.
Perhaps of even more interest was his collection of signs. A circa 1950 Ford "Jubilee" sign brought $39,100, a Lincoln Mercury sign went for $37,950 and a Ford Oval/Lincoln Mercury sign sold for $33,350. A collection of 21 Route 66 signs sold as a single lot for $29,900.
RM noted that 37 percent of bidders were first-time clientele.
Earlier in the year, RM staged a single-vendor sale of the Milhous Collection. In August, it handles the Aalholm Automobile Collection sale in Denmark, and in October the Charlie Thomas Collection in Texas.
Salmon Brothers Collection sells for $6.95 million
Also staging a successful single-vendor sale was Mecum Auctions, which disbursed the Salmon Brothers Collection in North Little Rock, Arkansas, where a 1934 Cadillac Fleetwood V12 all-weather phaeton, one of only three produced, went for $200,000, a 1936 Cord 810 Sportsman convertible coupe brought $135,000, and a 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible sold for $110,000.
Total sales for the nearly 140 vehicles totaled $6.95 million.
The collection had been accumulated for the last 50 years by twin brothers Tom and Don Salmon.
"I had no idea it was going to be this big of a deal," said Don Salmon, who praised the Mecum production. "We certainly hope all the new owners enjoy these cars as much as we did."
Lights, action, classic cars
Car collectors, and those who wish they could afford such a hobby, aren't the only people with a strong interest in our hobby.
Film-maker Michael Brown's The Quest made its West Coast debut earlier this year, showing the story of Chip Miller's quest to find and restore the first Corvette to win at Le Mans.
Now, car designer, historian and industrial design professor Del Coates and Oscar-nominated documentary maker Kirk Smallman have produced an 18-minute film about the Orphan Car Project by the League of Retired Auto Designers. The documentary was shot in a former Hudson dealership-turned-car museum in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and at that community's annual Orphan Car Show, which is held each September. (DVD copies of the film are available for $20 each from Coates at 7232 Via Vista, San Jose CA 95139.)
And Sam Smartt ad Chris Zaluski, graduate students in the documentary film program at Wake Forest University will debut their Wagonmasters film in conjunction wit the Concours d'Elegance of America in July at Plymouth, Michigan.
The movie runs 40 minutes and, according to its producers, remembers that "stations wagons were America's 'workhorses on wheels.' Today, they conjure images of outdated family photos, over-sized hairdos and unfashionable wooden siding. There are some, however, who still cling to these vehicles and what they stand for in American culture. 'Wagonmasters,' a full-length documentary film, offers glimpses into the lives of such wagon enthusiasts, and tells the story of the station wagon as it represents a changing America over the last one hundred years.
"At its heart, Wagonmasters is a film about reconnecting with America's past as one of its most memorable chapters comes to a close." (See the www.ConcoursUSA.org or www.wagonmastersthemovie.com websites for more details.)
Consider chronology when planning your next car show
Allow me to ask your consideration for an idea: At your club or community's next car show, how about parking the cars in chronological order?
Late each spring, The Henry Ford Museum's Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, hosts its Motor Muster for vehicles from the 1933-76 model years (from the year after the introduction of Henry Ford's Flathead V8 through the American bicentennial).
One of the things I really like about the show, other than its amazing and historic backdrop, is its chronological format, which allows car owners and visitors alike to stroll first hand through a big part of American car history, seeing for themselves how design and architecture have evolved.

2 BRAD KESELOWSKI, Dodge
Team: Penske Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Brad Keselowski climbed back into first place in the standings with one race to remaining in the season. He leads points leader Jimmie Johnson by 20 points and third-ranked Kasey Kahne by 50 points.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: 4 career starts, 0 wins, 0 top-5s, 0 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: 13th in 2010. Finished 20th in this race last year.
LOOKING AHEAD: There are three scenarios for Keselowski to assure himself his first Sprint Cup championship in Sunday's season finale: He must finish 15th or higher, or 16th and lead at least one lap, or 17th and leads the most laps led (even if Johnson wins the race). Here are Keselowski's thoughts on Sunday's race: "Having a legitimate shot to win the championship this weekend is something that I take great pride in because I know we got there together. Everything about this team is first-class, from our owner to our facility to our sponsor, Miller Lite. We have everything we need to be a championship contender for years to come and it's exciting to be a part of that."
LOOKING BACK: Keselowski led 10 laps at Phoenix and looked like he could potentially earn a top-five finish, but ultimately settled for a sixth-place showing.
ETC.: Keselowski has completed 99.8 percent (1,066) of the 1,068 laps contested in his four career Cup starts at Homestead. His average start is a mediocre 20.2, while his average finish is also 20.2. He has 0 DNFs there.
48 JIMMIE JOHNSON, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: Jimmie Johnson fell from first to second place after Phoenix. He trails points leader Brad Keselowski by 20 points heading into Sunday's season finale at Homestead. He leads third-ranked and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne, who is out of the running for the championship, by 30 points.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: 11 career starts, 0 wins, 4 top-5s, 7 top-10s, 2 poles. Best career finish: second in 2004 and 2010. Finished 32nd in this race last year, his second-worst career performance there.
LOOKING AHEAD: If Johnson is to win his sixth career Sprint Cup championship, the formula is fairly simple: he must finish at least 18 positions higher than Brad Keselowski. That's why a win is so important for Johnson, who has never won at Homestead, one of the few tracks he hasn't reached victory lane. Keselowski can win the title if he finishes 15th or higher, or 16th and leads at least one lap, or 17th and leads the most laps led. Here's Johnson's thoughts on what's on the line Sunday: "My focus is going down there and winning the race. We typically haven't had to have that mentality going into this race, but we have shown we can race for the win. We did it in 2010 against Denny (Hamlin), finished second and won the championship. This 48 Lowe's team can do it again. We have nothing to lose and can gamble and take chances. Brad (Keselowski) doesn't have that luxury. This isn't over. This team never gives up and we don't intend to now."
LOOKING BACK: After wins at Martinsville and Texas, Johnson hit the wall at Phoenix, literally, when a tire blew out, sending him into the wall. Johnson finished a disappointing 32nd in the race, and watched the points margin swing from a seven-point lead before Phoenix to a 20-point deficit afterward.
ETC.: Johnson has completed 94.9 percent (2,793) of the 2,942 laps completed in his 11 career starts at Homestead. His average start is 17.2 and average finish is 13.5. He has 0 DNFs there.
5 KASEY KAHNE, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: Kasey Kahne climbed one spot to third in the standings after Phoenix. He trails points leader Brad Keselowski by 50 points, second-ranked Jimmie Johnson by 30 points and fourth-ranked Clint Bowyer by two points.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: 8 career starts, 0 wins, 1 top-5, 4 top-10s, 2 poles. Best career finish: fourth in 2006. Finished seventh in this race last year.
LOOKING AHEAD: With no chance to win the championship, Kahne hopes to finish the season right where he is now: third place in the standings. "I'm excited to finish off the season strong at Homestead. We usually qualify really well there, and we've had strong finishes the last couple of years."
LOOKING BACK: Kahne's Chase chances officially ended at Phoenix, where he finished fourth.
ETC.: Kahne has completed 96.2 percent (2,060) of the 2,141 laps contested in his 8 career starts at Homestead. His average start is 7.2, but his average finish is 14.8. He also has 1 DNF there.
15 CLINT BOWYER, Toyota
Team: Michael Waltrip Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Bowyer fell from third to fourth in the standings after Phoenix. He is 52 points behind series leader Brad Keselowski, two points behind third-ranked Kasey Kahne and leads fifth-ranked Denny Hamlin by 10 points.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: 6 career starts, 0 wins, 1 top-5, 3 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: fifth in 2008. Finished sixth in this race last year.
LOOKING AHEAD: With his Chase chances ended at Phoenix, the best season finish he can hope for is third place. Here are the thoughts of Michael Waltrip Racing executive vice president and general manager Ty Norris: "We are all proud of the entire organization, especially the run for the championship from the No. 15 team. This group came together very late last year and overcame a lot of early season adversity. Once all of the key players learned how to work with each other, this team has been in great form. What has been most impressive is the depth across the organization with speed every week, at all different tracks with all three teams and five different drivers. That broad consistency is what gives us the confidence we will be able to continue this trend into the 2013 season and beyond."
LOOKING BACK: Bowyer still had a mathematical chance of contending for the championship until he was intentionally wrecked by Jeff Gordon with two laps left in Sunday's race at Phoenix, igniting a pit road brawl between crew members for both teams. Bowyer ultimately finished 28th.
ETC.: Bowyer has completed 98.4 percent (1,578) of the 1,603 laps contested in his six career starts at Homestead. His average start is 16.7; his average finish is 13.8. He has 0 DNFs there.
11 DENNY HAMLIN, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: After losing four places in the previous two races, Hamlin regained two spots at Phoenix, moving back to fifth place. He trails points leader Brad Keselowski by 62 points, fourth-ranked Clint Bowyer by 10 points and leads sixth-ranked Matt Kenseth by 12 points.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: 7 career starts, 1 win, 3 top-5s, 4 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: first in 2009. Finished ninth in this race last year.
LOOKING AHEAD: Hamlin's Chase hopes are done, but he mathematically he can still finish as high as third place. By the way, Sunday is Hamlin's 32nd birthday; a win to close out the season would be a great birthday present to himself. Hamlin's thoughts on Sunday's race in Homestead are the same that he had going into Phoenix: "We're going to try to work our way as far up in the points as we possibly can and just keep digging."
LOOKING BACK: Hamlin had an outstanding race at Phoenix, finishing second, right in front of Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch. Unfortunately for Hamlin's hopes for the Chase, it was too little, too late.
ETC.: Hamlin has completed an outstanding 99.8 percent (1,866) of the 1,870 laps contested in his 7 career starts at Homestead. His average start there is a terrible 31.0, but his average finish is a significantly better 10.9. He has 0 DNFs there.
17 MATT KENSETH, Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Kenseth fell one spot after Phoenix, dropping from a tie for fifth to sixth. He trails points leader Brad Keselowski by 74 points, fifth-ranked Denny Hamlin by 12 points and leads seventh-ranked and Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle by four points.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: 12 career starts, 1 win, 3 top-5s, 5 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: first in 2007. Finished fourth in this race last year.
LOOKING AHEAD: Kenseth ends his 13-year tenure at Roush Fenway Racing at Homestead. He moves to Joe Gibbs Racing next season. And even though his championship hopes this season have fallen short, Kenseth can still mathematically finish as high as third. He'll need a bit of luck, though. Here are crew chief Jimmy Fennig's thoughts on Sunday's race: "We're looking to get a win for Matt this weekend. Our team is hoping to close out the season and Matt's time here at Roush doing all we could for him. The car we're bringing this weekend is our winning car from Kansas and I feel it's a really good car."

HOUSTON (Ivanhoe Broadcast News) -- A treatment for a rare form of leukemia could help patients survive without ever needing chemotherapy.
The treatment is known as lipoATRA. It's been used on patients with APL, acute promyelocytic leukemia.
To David Wildrick, the diagnosis of leukemia sounded like a death sentence. "I wasn't happy about what they told me they were going to do to me," he says. "They told me they were going to give me chemotherapy. I'd have to be there six weeks. They were going to take my immune system down to zero and then bring it back up."
Then he got a second opinion at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where he works.
M.D. Anderson oncologist Elihu Estey, M.D., says, "I would guess that without treatment, everybody would be dead within a few months."
With the new treatment, researchers take ATRA -- which is a form of vitamin A -- wrap it in fat, and inject it. It could eliminate the need for chemo.
Wildrick welcomed the new option. He says: "They administer it through an IV line in your arm. It took a couple of hours, and then, really, the only side effect from it was a headache." He later had an allergic reaction to the drug.
It won't work for everyone, but lipoATRA did keep 10 of the 34 patients in remission for several years without the toxic effects of chemotherapy.
"It's, I think, probably the first demonstration in the field of leukemia that you can cure patients without giving them chemotherapy," Dr. Estey says.
He says there are still side effects with lipoATRA, and it may not offer many advantages over chemo at this time. However, he says lipoATRA represents what the future of leukemia treatment could look like. "The fact that we did the Liposomal ATRA study was that the thing said, 'Gee, it's plausible to do this, to defer chemotherapy and still wind up okay.'" And he says that's a step in the right direction.
LipoATRA is not yet approved by the FDA. In the meantime, Dr. Estey is currently working on a follow-up study to treat APL without chemotherapy using ATRA and arsenic tri-oxide.

I tried

Does anyone know the default path? How can I find out?

Assistant Winemaker Bill Anton punches down the cap with a punch down tool.
"Maceration management is the most complex and critical stage of red winemaking," City Winery winemaker explains. He continues:
"The best way to manage maceration is to adapt yourself every day for every tank and to see each tank as its own person or batch. Every day, every tank is behaving differently. Not coming in for one day would cause me to lose sight of what's going on."
Maceration is the process through which the solid part of the must — including the grape skin, seeds and pulp — comes in contact with the liquid content — the grape juice and young wine — to impart the desired color and amounts of tannins and aromas to the juice.
During this stage of winemaking, it is important to facilitate the right amount of solid and liquid contact, so that maceration is optimized.
There's only one pesky thing that gets in the way: carbon dioxide. As sugars in the juice are converted to alcohol during fermentation, carbon dioxide is created as a byproduct. The gas rises to the top of the vessel, pushing the solid materials — including grapes, seeds and pulp — to the top of the container, creating a solid block of fruit, known as the cap (as pictured above).
Right: Assistant Winemaker Bill Anton uses his full body force to punch down.
Left: Carbon dioxide escapes through the cap as Winemaker David Lecomte punches down.
The cap has a tendency to dry out if it's not redistributed into the juice, causing maceration to slow to a halt.
Lecomte says that one tank produces 20-22 times its volume in carbon dioxide during fermentation. At City Winery, we use a carbon dioxide extractor, which constantly pulls CO2 out of the tanks and into the winery. To keep the winery ventilated, we keep the dock door open when the extractor is on.
The wines are constantly changing during this period. With such rapid change in the wine, maceration management takes over during this time of year, pacing the staff's work flow, as pumping over and punching down needs are high.
3 Ways to Manage Maceration
There are three methods for maceration management: punching down, pumping over and rack & return. Lecomte explained each method thoroughly — here's an overview:
1. Punching Down: The first way to integrate the cap back into the juice is punching down, a method very common in the Burgundy and Rhône wine regions of France. Punching down is when the cap is manually or mechanically pushed back into the juice from the top. Feet, a punch down tool or a hydraulic piston can be used to punch down. At City Winery, we use a punch down tool (as pictured above).
Punching down can only be completed when an open-top tank is being used. The team places a wooden beam across the lip of the tank and gets to work with the punch down tool, using the beam to step on for balance.
During the beginning phase of maceration, so much carbon dioxide is produced that the cap is strong enough to walk on. We wouldn't recommend trying that, though, because one slip into the juice could be fatal. Death is highly likely if a person falls into a fermenting tank of wine, because the carbon dioxide is so strong that it is impossible to breath, even in the case that you get your head above the cap quickly.
Assistant Winemaker Bill Anton pumps over wine.
2. Pumping Over: Pumping over is when liquid from the bottom of the tank is transferred to the top of the tank to submerge the cap. Generally, this is done through two methods. In the first method, a hose is connected to a spout at the bottom of the tank and pushes wine through a pump and into a second hose that sprays the wine onto the cap (as pictured above).
In the other method of pumping over, the wine is emptied through the bottom spout into a tub, so that it can aerate. As the tank is emptied, a hose connecting to a pump siphons the juice through to a second hose that sprays it onto the cap. In both instances, the same tools are used, but the only differing step is aeration.
If a wine has slightly reduced, the team will first aerate it before pumping over.
When a wine has reduced — which is detected by the smell of sulfur, rotten eggs, onion or boiled cauliflower, depending on the level of reduction — it needs air. In this case, the team will use the air method (as pictured above) when pumping over.
3. Rack & Return: The last type of maceration management is called "rack & return" and it's a new method that's starting to appear in the Bordeaux wine region of France. This method is uncommon, though, as it requires the availability of two tanks. Racking is the process of carefully moving wine from one place to another. In this case, half of the wine in a tank is moved to another tank and then returned to the original tank at a high velocity using a pump at full speed, causing the cap to break up.
With pumping over, wine can only be pumped as fast as it is flowing out of the tank — that way, it's replacing the tank at the same rate. For example, today we're using a pump at 40% its capacity — it can pump up to 120-gallon per minute. This is all based on the flow of the wine from the tank.
With the rack & return method, though, all of the juice in the second tank can be pumped at full speed into the original tank, overwhelming and breaking up the cap. This method enables a winemaker to extract the most character from the solids in the must and can be employed when pumping over isn't enough. This method, though, would very rarely be used at the end of fermentation, because too much extraction would occur, pushing the wine into a bitter, aggressive state.
Variables to Consider in Maceration Management
Maceration takes about 2-3 weeks, and it's a balance — the winemaker wants to extract as much potential from the solid materials in the wine as possible. If he extracts for too long, though, the wine can become bitter, harsh or too aggressive, because it begins to extract tannins from the seed, and not just the skin.
If he extracts for too little time, though, the wine may not be as complex as it could be, generally producing a more fruit-forward, than complex, wine.
In general, pumping over and punching down occurs once or twice per day, but can take place as much as 3-4 times per day at the peak of fermentation.
So, how does a winemaker know when he should pump over or punch down? Or whether he should use air to oxygenate the wine during the pump over process? Lecomte says there are a number of variables, of which these are just a few for starters:
- Whether or not the juice has started fermenting
- What the pH level is
- What the Brix reading is
- Whether the wine will have difficulty finishing the fermentation process
- Whether another shipment of grapes is to arrive and needs to be placed in the tank
- What the winery's pump capacity is
- What the winery's cooling capacity is
- Whether the tank is an open or closed-top tank
- What the temperature of the juice is
- How many Brix have been lost within 24 hours
- What other wines in the winery are higher priority and must be tended to first
- How much time and how many staffers the winery has available
Lecomte explained that while two wines can have the same Brix reading, for example, they may be behaving completely differently, so the day-to-day maceration management of each will be different. All of the variables listed above — and more — must be taken into account when dealing with each tank.
Maceration is a complicated process, and this post is merely an introduction to how the City Winery manages this phase of winemaking. Let us know if you have any particular questions in the comments below!

HVAC tips Kraeutler and his co-host Leslie Segrete share these tips
on getting the most out of your HVAC system:
Leave it to the pros
While Kraeutler and Segrete are big fans of homeowners doing their own fix-it
projects whenever possible, they stress that HVAC installation, upgrades and repairs
should be left to the professionals. Modern furnaces and central air conditioning
units are computerized and complicated. Not to mention, you're dealing with risky
elements like electricity and natural gas.
"This really
isn't a do-it-yourself project," says Kraeutler. Obviously, the exception
is room-sized air conditioners, which you can install yourself (although it helps
to have someone else assist, as even the small units can be surprisingly heavy
and tricky to position in the window).
Note: Make sure you
have the proper electrical set-up for your air conditioner. A small unit can be
plugged into most outlets, provided no other big appliances are sharing the same
circuit. However, larger units may require their own dedicated circuit.

- Official Site: FoxSearchlight.com/WhipIt
- Release Date: October 2, 2009
- Director: Drew Barrymore
- Main Actors: Ellen Page, Marcia Gay Harden, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis
Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, Whip It! stars Ellen Page as Bliss Cavendar, a small-town Texas misfit looking for a way out of the beauty pageants her mother (Marcia Gay Harden) constantly drags her to. When Bliss discovers a roller derby league in nearby Austin, she sees her chance. Based on the novel by Shauna Cross -- a roller girl herself -- Bliss finally manages to find her identity on the track as the league's rising star, Babe Ruthless. After that, Whip It! runs out all the usual coming-of-age greatest hits, from ill-fated young love to the eventual blow-up (and reconciliation) with her parents and best friend.
Despite a good idea and an equally good cast, Drew Barrymore unfortunately isn't a very good director -- at least not yet -- and that sinks Whip It! soon after the initial novelty wears off. It's not that Drew is necessarily bad behind the camera, just inexperienced, which leads to a few awkward line readings and characters who tell the audience what they're seeing or feeling when they should be showing us instead. And fair or not, after her Oscar nomination for Juno, more is going to be expected from Ellen Page than merely competent and cute, which is all she's able to manage here. Whip It!'s solid supporting cast bails her out, though, from the always impressive Marcia Gay Harden to Juliette Lewis as a psychotic derby rival and the surprisingly good Andrew Wilson (brother to Luke and Owen) as the Hurl Scouts' exasperated coach. Former Barrymore costar Jimmy Fallon is given far too much free reign as announcer Johnny Rocket, however, and his running play-by-play of the derby scenes goes from funny to annoying fast. Derailed somewhat by predictable clichés -- of both sports comedies and coming-of-age movies -- Whip It! is mildly enjoyable, but little more.
Make no mistake, despite the promise of girls in fishnets, Whip It! is a chick flick through and through. It may advertise hot girls in skates hitting each other to get you into the theater, but apart from a few tame shots of Page stripping down, once you're there, all you'll find is an innocent teenage coming-of-age story. Fortunately, the female-driven comedy is seldom sappy, but this is definitely more Bend it Like Beckham than Slap Shot. It doesn't help that the derby scenes are surprisingly bland, too messy and awkwardly shot to live up to their promise as a major selling point. And with jokes that only manage a few chuckles rather than genuine laughs, the wasted potential really piles up. You could certainly do worse if your girl wants to drag you to Whip It!, but if you're going just for the "alternative" girls in short skirts, you're better off looking up your local roller derby instead.

Who doesn't love lemon bars? Those lovely bars of creamy lemon filling on a buttery crust are a favorite any time of year. Paula Dean sure knows how to cook! Her lemon bar recipe can best be described as "wow". The crust provides a buttery shortbread and the filling is just the right creamy lemon flavor. This is such an amazing recipe, that it's impossible to eat just one. Any time you take it somewhere, you'd better take the recipe -- your family and friends will want it.
When making these lemon bars, make sure that you use fresh lemons. Let them sit on the counter for at least an hour or two prior to juicing them. Then gently pressing down on each lemon with the palm of your hand, roll them around a little on the counter. This will help release the juice from each of the lemons, so you will get the maximum of juice.
Paula Deen's Lemon Bar Recipe
Ingredients for Paula Deen's Lemon Bars:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Dash of salt
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (approximately 3 lemons worth)
- A little extra powdered sugar
Directions for making Paula Deen's Lemon Bars:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish – set aside.
To make the crust: Mix together the flour, powdered sugar, salt, and melted butter. Mix until well-incorporated. Pat the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from the oven, but do not turn the oven off.
To make the filling: Mix together with an electric mixer or a wire whisk the eggs, sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Pour the mixture onto the baked crust. Bake 25 minutes longer.
Remove from the oven. Put a little powdered sugar in a sifter or a sieve and sprinkle the warm bars evenly and liberally with powdered sugar. Cool completely and cut into squares.

The Taylor Smith letter that Taylor Smith's parents found after their 12-year-old daughter died is a reminder that even though life ends with death, words live on. Taylor died last Sunday from complications with pneumonia. She left behind her mom, dad, her older brother – and a letter, wrote News Channel 11 in an updated report on Jan. 10, 2014.
After Taylor's death, her parents did what most parents would choose to do; spend time in the room that once filled the laughter, the smell, and the precious memories of their little girl. Twelve-year-old Taylor apparently loved to write and among her many poems, journals, and letters (to people who never received them), Taylor's parents found a letter that she had written to herself.
"To be opened by Taylor Smith on April 13, 2023 only unless said otherwise."
When the 12-year-old girl wrote the letter to herself, she didn't know that her time would be limited and that she would not be able to read it again when she was 22.
However, for her parents, having found the letter is like having received some words of wisdom from the grave.
Taylor's letter to herself begins with the following words:
"Dear Taylor, how's life? Life is pretty simple 10 years in your past, I know I'm late for you, but I'm writing this early, so congratulations on graduating high school, if you didn't, go back and keep trying, get that degree…Do you have your own place yet? If we're in college what are we majoring in? Right now I want to be a lawyer."
The last lines of Taylor Smith's letter read:
"Well, I think that's all, but remember it's been 10 years since I wrote this. Stuff has happened good and bad, that's just how life works and you have to go with it."
Even though not all of Taylor Smith's letter to herself has been published, the few lines that her parents have shared are a reminder of some of the important things that matter in life; not just for a 12-year-old girl, but for many others: At some age, having a "simple" life, to be able to feel proud of one's accomplishments (like graduating), to always "keep trying," to strive for one's "own place," to be able to dream, and that "stuff" in life happens, "good and bad."
For Taylor's dad, having lost his daughter is one of those "bad" things that equate to a nightmare from which one just wants to wake up. "Initially it's shock, and waves of depression, and hoping that it's not real, and hoping that every time you take a nap or go to sleep you find out it wasn't real."
As reality sinks in that his daughter won't ever be coming back, Taylor Smith's dad has the one thing that will continue to live on -- Taylor Smith's letter.

In college Helen made the transition from classical to jazz piano and performed in the Boston area and New York before releasing her debut album in 2003. A musical life of research experimentation, crossing genre lines and culture, it's evident the overall quest is to be true to her self. Going down the road of a traditional career in medicine may have been her parent's ideal hope for their daughter; she chose to follow the path a bit differently. A native of Houston Texas, her journey with the piano began at the age of five.
Fast forward to 2014 and five albums later, Helen Sung is poised to release her brand of musical medicine – Anthem for a New Day, a ten-song set that positions her at the forefront of a talented and diverse sextet, is set for release January 28, 2014, on Concord Jazz. The album includes guest appearances by violinist Regina Carter and clarinetist Paquito D' Rivera.
"With my previous albums, I was searching, experimenting – not that that ever ends. But this is the first project where I feel the most comfortable with who I am as an artist, where I am as an artist, what I'm doing as an artist. It brings the different pieces of my experience together in a way that's organic and authentic. That kind of clarity is very exciting."
Exciting enough for Sung to fly her colors with a sense of conviction that hadn't existed previously. "When I hear the word 'anthem,' I think of flags or banners," she says. "This album is my way of planting my flag in the ground. The journey continues, but at this point, I feel a confidence unlike before."
Some of that confidence evident on Anthem for a New Day comes not just from Sung's own diverse experience but from the talented crew backing her on this project: saxophonist Seamus Blake, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, bassist Reuben Rogers, drummer Obed Calvaire, and percussionist Samuel Torres (saxophonist John Ellis also lends his bass clarinet on a tune).
Sung also shook things up a bit with her texture-approached instrumentation. "Along with the piano, I played Rhodes as well, which I haven't done on my previous albums," she says. "Classical and jazz are the two primary genres I've been immersed in since I started playing music as a child. Early on, I played classical concertos and sonatas with their diverse and grand textures; then when I started jazz, in my quest to really swing, I found myself primarily just playing single lines in my right hand while playing chords with my left. Now I feel like it's all starting to come together – in my playing, my improvisation, my writing, and with my arranging. All of this makes for an album that's much bigger in terms of the sonic space it occupies."
She stakes out that territory early on with "Brother Thelonious," an effervescent opening track with an interesting origin. Sung originally wrote it as the commissioned "theme song" for a Belgian ale of the same name, crafted by the small North Coast Brewing Company located in Fort Bragg, California. "The owners are jazz fanatics, and I got to meet one of them through a connection with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance [Sung is a graduate of the program's inaugural class when it was housed at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston]. I had recorded an earlier version of the song for them, but then I revamped it a bit and recorded a stronger version this time, and it became the leadoff track for the album. North Coast is a fabulous outfit. They do so much good – not just for jazz but for a variety of causes."
Anthem for a New Day includes a unique reading of Monk's "Epistrophy" that resulted from a tug-of-war between planning and spontaneity. "I've been working on 'Epistrophy' for a while and it actually started out as a totally different arrangement," says Sung. "What a luxury to have musicians who can hang with my tendency to tinker, and that's kind of what happened in the studio with 'Epistrophy.' More than once, we would try something, after which I'd say, 'No, that's not it.' And the band would say, 'Are you sure?' Finally we did this take, and I said, 'That's it!' It was awesome to see everyone really 'get' the arrangement."
A solo piano rendition of "Equipoise" closes the album on a note that's reflective and full of promise. "In some respects," says Sung, "this album is my way of saying, 'This is me, take it or leave it,' instead of something more tentative like, 'Okay, let me work on it a little more.' Not that I don't want to keep growing and developing, but I'm happy to be in a place where I'm more confident about the kind of artist I am becoming. I can't believe how rare that feeling has been in my experience. That this coincides with the opportunity to release the album on Concord Records is a great blessing, and I'm excited to share it with the world: this is a new chapter, a new day, and I invite you to join me in the celebration of this album and music!"

The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech and pop culture news.
We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, and The Joy of Tech is now in its, whoa... 16th year.

We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
