Associated Press
NEW YORK — Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and their GOP presidential rivals slammed President Barack Obama's Middle East policies Tuesday while emphatically declaring their ownsupport for Israel as the United Nations considered a bid for Palestinian statehood.
Republican front-runner Perry, the Texas governor, denounced the president's Israel policy as "misguided and dangerous," speaking to supporters in New York as the Obama administration worked a few miles away to thwart a U.N. vote to grant formal recognition to the Palestinian Authority.
Perry also accused Obama of appeasement, as did Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who assailed the president from the Midwest.
Perry's chief rival for the nomination, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, issued a statement accusing Obama of "throwing Israel under the bus."
The Republican campaigns have similar goals: establish contrasts with Obama on an issue where he's struggled; chip away at American Jews' support for Democrats and prove their conservative, pro-Israel bona fides with the evangelical voters who will play a significant role in the GOP presidential primaries.
During the 2008 election campaign, Obama worked hard to reassure nervous Jewish voters that he would defend Israel as president. But he's faced doubts and criticism since then.
Perry criticized Obama's stated goal that any negotiations should be based on Israel's borders prior to the 1967 Mideast war, with mutually agreed adjustments and land swaps to accommodate population shifts and some homebuilding since 1967. Perry called that stance "insulting and na?e."
Obama angered Israel earlier this year by endorsing a Palestinian demand that negotiations over future borders begin with the lines Israel held before capturing the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem in 1967.
In regard to potential official recognition, the administration has been working intensively behind the scenes to restart direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians and to persuade Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to drop his push and avoid an explosive confrontation at the U.N. later in the week.
But Perry had strong criticism nonetheless, speaking to a group of ultraconservative Jewish and Israeli leaders at a New York hotel.
"Simply put, we would not be here today at the precipice of such a dangerous move if the Obama policy in the Middle East wasn't na?e, arrogant, misguided and dangerous," Perry said, flanked by U.S. and Israeli flags. "The Obama administration has appeased the Arab Street at the expense of our own national security interests. They have sowed instability that threatens the prospect of peace."
Romney said, "What we are watching unfold at the United Nations is an unmitigated diplomatic disaster. It is the culmination of President Obama's repeated efforts over three years to undermine its negotiating position." He called for an end to U.S. foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority if the U.N. vote went the Palestinians' way.
The candidates' remarks represented their efforts to win over the conservative and evangelical voters who care deeply about GOP support for Israel. They back Israel as a U.S. ally in the fight against terror and as a rare democracy in the volatile Mideast. Some also support Israel for theological reasons.
Perry told reporters his support for Israel was in part driven by his religious faith.
"I also as a Christian have a clear directive to support Israel, so from my perspective it's pretty easy," Perry said when a reporter asked if Perry's faith was driving his views. "Both as an American and as a Christian, I am going to stand with Israel."

The New York Jets have freed up nearly $15 million of cap money by releasing starting cornerback Antonio Cromartie. According to a report by the New York Daily News on March 9, Cromartie was expected to be a cap causality.
Due to earn a $5 million roster bonus this upcoming year, Cromartie expected the move as the team looks to free up money. There is still a chance the team will bring back the 29-year-old cornerback at a cheaper rate, but the team is reportedly targeting another cornerback, in Titans CB Alterraun Verner, as the free agency season approaches.
Cromartie thanked the organization as he confirmed the release on Twitter.
"I like to thank the Jets organization so much with helpin me grow as leader and a player. S/O 2 teammates I wish u guys the best. It's time for a new chapter in my life and now it's time to let my lord and savior lead my steps every step of the way."
Jets head coach Rex Ryan complimented Antonio Cromartie as one of "finest athletes" he has coached and in a statement recognized him as a valuable contributor.
"He was willing to contribute wherever the team needed him to win games, be it defense, special teams or offense. He has a passion and enthusiasm for the game and I wish him and his family the best."
Despite coming off a disappointing season, Cromartie can still contribute to another team. He went to the Pro Bowl in 2012 when he stepped in for Darrelle Revis and recorded 13 interceptions during his time with the New York Jets. The Denver Broncos and New England Patriots are possible landing spots for Antonio Cromartie.

Making changes
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
I have been a smoker for thirty years plus - never really wanted to quit. Well since I have been out of work my smoking has increased dramatically - I actually feel it now. So I have decided to attempt to quit. Because of my increased smoking habits I do not think quitting using a patch will work right now. So I have decided to take baby steps sort of like I have in losing weight. Yesterday with the help of a patch I went 5 hours between smokes - then I fell off the wagon. Today I went 8 1/2 hours between smokes and currently I am 21/2 hours in without a smoke. I am using the tools from a website called florida quits. I am hoping that I can actually kick this habit. I have identified my smoking triggers - Coffee Coffee and more coffee, driving somewhere in the car. So tomorrow I am going to try and cut back on my morning coffee and be mindful of how many smokes I have while drinking. By Monday I hope to be totally smoke free and the real work will begin. I know I should quit cold turkey, but I do not have the strength to say I will never have a smoke again. But I can say I will go this long before I have a smoke (today I was only going for 5 hours and went 81/2 tomorrow I am going to aim for 9 hours between smokes. This is a major change because not only am I quitting the smokes I am seriously cutting back on my coffee.
Wish me luck.

You can do it I did......April 26th will be 14 years for me. It took me many tries before I was successful. I had smoked for over 30 years and quitting was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I used to make excuses....there is too much stress in my life right now.....well life is always stressful.......etc.
My best advice is quit the coffee drinking completely, if you usually sit in one places when you smoke....move to another chair or move your chair. Have your carpets and upholstery steam cleaned to freshen the air in your house. Avoid places where you smoke if you can. Avoid smoking friends until you have a handle on being a non-smoker.....chew gum.......drink water.......find something to do when a craving hits, like drink a glass of water or do 10 jumping jacks, something you can do everytime......hope this helps

text: Victory for unbanked, uninsured Americans! Back August 28, 2013 Friends and Colleagues, I am writing you with news about a final rule that HHS released earlier today. As you may know, Jackson Hewitt took a leading position earlier this year in publicly urging the federal government to prohibit insurers from discriminating against unbanked individuals who are eligible for the ACA's tax credits. Working with Dr. John Graves, a Vanderbilt University health economist, we published a study on May 21, 2013 that reported that more than one in four (27%) of uninsured individuals eligible for the tax credits do not have bank accounts. We concluded that 8.5 million uninsured Americans would effectively lose access to the tax credit programs if insurers were allowed to implement their discriminatory policies. The report, which is entitled "Uninsured + Unbanked = Unenrolled" is available at http://jacksonhewittaca.com/ under "Resources". The federal government swiftly responded by publishing a proposed rule on June 14, 2013 to ban this discriminatory practice – and today, HHS moved to finalize the proposed rule. Specifically, the final rule states that a qualified health plan must, "At a minimum, for all payments in the individual market, accept paper checks, cashier's checks, money orders, EFT, and all general-purpose pre-paid debit cards as methods of payment and present all payment method options equally for a consumer to select their preferred payment method." This is fantastic news for the 8.5 million unbanked, uninsured Americans! While we celebrate this federal action, we remain concerned with one shortcoming in the final rule. The preamble to the final rule notes that "At this time, we will allow issuers to decide whether or not to accept automatic deductions from credit or debit cards." We were surprised by this policy choice, and we fail to see how limiting consumer options for automated recurring premium payments is consistent with the goal of ensuring continuous enrollment and minimizing attrition in the ACA's insurance affordability programs. We urge federal policy-makers to reconsider this tentative choice. Consumers will face tax penalties for being uninsured under the recently-released IRS rules about the individual mandate – and we should be making every effort to help consumers avoid those penalties and maintain coverage. In short, federal policy makers made a meaningful difference in the lives of many Americans by adopting this final rule, but they have one step left to take. We urge them to take it as expeditiously as possible. And we applaud their ongoing efforts in this area to ensure access for the millions of uninsured, unbanked Americans! Yours, Brian Text of the relevant provision of the final rule [45 CFR] § 156.1240 Enrollment process for qualified individuals. (a) Premium payment. A QHP issuer must – (1) Follow the premium payment process established by the Exchange in accordance with § 155.240. (2) At a minimum, for all payments in the individual market, accept paper checks, cashier's checks, money orders, EFT, and all general-purpose pre-paid debit cards as methods of payment and present all payment method options equally for a consumer to select their preferred payment method. Citation: While the publication date in the Federal Register is unknown, the text of the rule is now available at http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2013-21338_PI.pdf.

Kardashian on Kourtney & Kim Take NY: "Married Life Isn't What I Thought It'd Be"
Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries crumbles more and more before viewers' eyes on January 8's back-to-back episodes of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York."
In the first show, while Kim and Kourtney take a few relaxing days in Mystic, Connecticut, Kris heads north of the border with Scott Disick to Toronto, where the basketball player does a club appearance for cash.
One problem: The boys don't tell their significant others about their road trip.
When all return back to New York, Kim blast Kris: "How does it make me feel that your wife needs to find out your in a different country on twitter? …That is so shady of you."
And their relationship doesn't get any better in the second episode during which Kim jets off to Dubai for an appearance with Kris Jenner at the opening of a Millions of Milkshakes.
While thousand of miles away from her spouse, Kim admits, "I feel like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders since I've been here in Dubai."
She adds, "Being away from my husband… I'm back to myself. I'm enjoying this feeling."
When returning to the U.S., Jenner asks Kim if she's "excited" to get back to her husband, to which the reality star confesses, "Not really."
She goes on to tell her mom, "There's something in my relationship that I feel is not right… Married life isn't what I thought it would be with him."
"My heart is telling me I did this too fast," says Kim right as the show ends.
Gossip Cop will have video shortly.

Wiesmann, M; Ishai, A (2010). Training facilitates object recognition in cubist paintings. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 4:11.
PDF (Verlags-PDF)
View at publisher
To the naïve observer, cubist paintings contain geometrical forms in which familiar objects are hardly recognizable, even in the presence of a meaningful title. We used fMRI to test whether a short training session about Cubism would facilitate object recognition in paintings by Picasso, Braque and Gris. Subjects, who had no formal art education, were presented with titled or untitled cubist paintings and scrambled images, and performed object recognition tasks. Relative to the control group, trained subjects recognized more objects in the paintings, their response latencies were significantly shorter, and they showed enhanced activation in the parahippocampal cortex, with a parametric increase in the amplitude of the fMRI signal as a function of the number of recognized objects. Moreover, trained subjects were slower to report not recognizing any familiar objects in the paintings and these longer response latencies were correlated with activation in a fronto-parietal network. These findings suggest that trained subjects adopted a visual search strategy and used contextual associations to perform the tasks. Our study supports the proactive brain framework, according to which the brain uses associations to generate predictions.

Pandora's Box
His Dark Desires
Jennifer St. Giles
2005, American Historical Romance (1870s New Orleans)
Pocket, $6.99, 336 pages, Amazon ASIN 0743486269Part of a series
There is a staff review of this book as well
His Dark Desires is set in Reconstruction Era New Orleans. Heroine Juliet Boucheron is still dealing with the after-effects of the war. Her husband disappeared with thousands of dollars in Confederate gold, and as a result, she and her son have been shunned by all of their friends. They also have little closure in their lives, since they do not know for sure whether their husband and father is alive or dead. In the meantime, they have had to take in boarders in order to make and meet and pay the taxes on their ancestral home, where she lives with her son, her sisters, and a handful of servants.
When the book begins, Juliet has just received a message telling her that she is in very great danger. Strange accidents start happening, and several of her family members are affected. An acting troupe currently boarding in the home may be to blame, but Juliet isn't really sure. Meanwhile, an attractive writer from a wealthy shipping family, Stephen Trevelyan, takes up residence as well. Although Juliet intends to keep him at an arms length, she can't really deny her attraction to him. At the same time, though, she wonders whether she can trust anyone at all.
Stephen takes Juliet's family in hand and helps her investigate the strange happenings. He seems to relate well to her hard-to-reach young son, and Juliet's feelings for him only become stronger. They will need to work together to avert the danger that surrounds them, and Juliet will need to find some closure with her past before she can be happy with Stephen.
Blythe: I chose His Dark Desires because it came with a high recommendation from Sandy Coleman, who'd also read and enjoyed St. Giles' first book. I'm glad she mentioned it to me, because I found it entertaining and different. The setting (Reconstruction Era New Orleans) is not a common one, and it's written in first person POV. It also has gothic undertones. In short, I'd say it is really different from the typical romance offerings these days. What did you think?
Linda: LOL, when I first looked at HDD I wondered what I did to make you mad! I loathe anything to do with the Civil War - post, during or pre - and I also don't care for first person POV. But, as so often happens a good author makes me enjoy something I didn't think I would. I really enjoyed this book and especially liked heroine-narrator Juliet Boucheron a lot.
Blythe: What is it about the Civil War (and aftermath) that turns you off so completely?
Linda: Well, I read one book by Eugenia Price, Bright Captivity, set in the pre-Civil War south (1812) where the heroine was begging the slaves not to leave the plantation with the British - she actually expected these people to give up their freedom to stay and wait on her!! How can you root for someone like that. Beyond that, the whole period is just so grim and after shedding buckets of tears over Gone With The Wind I have shied away from anything set around the war ever since.
Blythe: I used to be a huge Eugenia Price fan. I read all her Savannah books
in high school and loved them, and I have a signed copy of the first one
that I bought when I visited Savannah. I read Bright Captivity, but it must have just struck me in a different way. That series isn't as good as the Savannah quartet anyway.
I can understand what you mean in some ways, because I avoid Native American romances for similar reasons (I always think that even when the couple gets together, there is bound to be trouble ahead in the form of smallpox, forced migration, etc). I see post-war South books a little differently though; I tend to think of the period as complicated rather than grim. One of my favorite series ever, Rosalyn West's Men of Pride County series, is set in Kentucky immediately following the war, and I love how she explores the complexities of the time and place. It's a period brimming with ready-made, realistic conflict. So anyway, what made this book work for you in spite of the setting?
Linda: I think it was the character of Juliet and her family that immediately drew me into the story. I loved the honest portrayal of her troubled teenage son and the sacrifices they had to make to survive the war. They were Southerners whose home was taken over by the Union Army and they were forced to billet officers. Also, Juliet's husband is rumored to have stolen Southern gold and betrayed his friends. Juliet lost all of her friends and social position because of her husband's disappearance and betrayal. Juliet managed all of the social upheaval and threats of poverty and starvation with an admirable strength, but perhaps went overboard trying to keep the truth of their situation from her son and sisters.
In fact, the only flaw in the book for me is one that is inherent in first person narratives: we just never really got to know the hero Stephen Trevelyan very well. He remained a very nice, but rather bland cipher for much of the book for me. I liked him, but just never felt I got to know him as well as I would have liked. Perhaps if I had read the first book in this series, I would have felt differently; but, I am enthused enough about St. Giles' writing style, and light touches of humor even in grim surroundings that I will look for the first book in the series.
Blythe: I liked Juliet too, although I was a little confused about the way she treated her sisters like children, not letting them know what was going on. I guess I am still a little foggy on their ages, but to me it seemed like they were certainly old enough to be included in decision making and informed of danger, threats, etc.
I too could have used a little more insight into Stephen and his family, but maybe that isn't as much an issue for people who have read the first book.
Linda: I think the youngest was 17, which wasn't a child in that era. I think she raised them through such difficult times that she had just formed the habit of protecting them and failed to see they had grown up. I was touched when she discovered Ginette's love letters and realized that she had been so preoccupied with survival and the loss of her husband that she hadn't noticed what was going on in the lives of those around her. Ginette is the middle sister and becomes increasingly ill as the book progresses. She is depressed but tries to hold up her end of the work needed to sustain the family. Ginette is utterly hopeless; she believes the family will lose their home and doesn't feel she'll ever marry or have a family of her own. For me, Ginette's portrayal was realistic in the context of the aftermath of the war. Not everyone is going to be able to keep going with as much fortitude as Juliet.
Blythe: I thought Juliet's whole family was pretty interesting, and I like the suspense sub-plot involving her first husband. I thought the husband's secret was obvious, but did manage to be fooled by the villain; I'd been expecting someone completely different.
Linda: I was suspicious of the villain from the beginning, but also had a couple of others in mind - all in all I thought the mystery was well done and didn't interfere with the romance story. I really liked St. Giles writing style - certainly no purple prose here. There were humorous touches i.e. when Juliet mistook Stephen for a burgler and whacked him on the head with her frying pan. His insistence on knowing what type of pan had felled him, just struck me funny. I am glad that the Trevelyan clan is a large one and wouldn't mind seeing a romance with Juliet's youngest sister Mignon either. Did the touches of French language threaded through the conversations bother you at all? Sometimes they seemed like an affectation to me, but didn't jar me enough to pull me out of the book.
Blythe: See, I thought the prose was a bit purple, or at least a bit flowery. Though I liked Juliet and Stephen, there were times when they were talking to each other that I couldn't help laughing. I know no one's husband really talks like a romance hero, but I kept picturing mine talking like Stephen and laughing at the very idea. "All of life pales to the beauty of being in your arms"...stuff like that I just could not buy. The French did seem like a bit of an affectation at times, but I guess I'm just not really sure if it happened or not. Did people like to say "Oui," and then continue on in English? Hell if I know.
Unlike you, though, I really like first person POV. I am usually more likely to give a book a try if it's written this way. I always liked Joan Wolf's books, and then there's Gabaldon, who is in a class by herself.
Linda: LOL, I have put books back on the store shelf because they were written in first person - it is just not my favorite form. But, it worked here for me but did leave me wanting to know more about Stephen. The "flowery speech" effected me a bit differently - that was part of what I thought was St. Giles subtle sense of humor. I took the "speeches" as banter between Juliet and Stephen. Especially when they first meet and spar back and forth with "Shakespearean-speak". This couple is so intelligent and likable and the story so well drawn that it easily overcame any problems I might have had with the setting or POV.
Blythe: I'm glad you liked it - especially since I knew you were really dubious going in. But I didn't think their little speeches were supposed to be tongue in cheek or banter-y; they read pretty deadpan serious to me, which is why they seemed over the top. For me it ranked in hit B range; I found it to be flawed in some ways. The aforementioned sappiness was a problem, and at times, Stephen's did seem to be too much of a mystery. But I basically liked the story, and I loved the setting. I guess most of all I appreciated that it was something different. I really like European Historicals, but lately it seems like that's about all that's out there. It's been harder and harder to even find an American Historical to include as a favorite for the annual reader poll.
I'm glad you liked it - especially since I knew you were really dubious going in.
Linda: I do like American historicals, Laura Lee Guhrke and Stef Ann Holm have written several books I really enjoyed; as well as Miranda Jarrett's New England-set series. Like you I shy away from Indian stories as I just can't suspend my disbelief enough to find a happy ending for any of these couples.
Blythe: I keep hoping that the subgenre will revive. When I first started reading romance, they were much more plentiful. There were good westerns then too, and those are harder to find as well. All the good authors seem to have headed for greener pastures. I hope St. Giles will stick it out and not be tempted away to European Historicals. I like them, but enough already!
Linda: Yes, I find myself reading more contemporaries lately although I really like the Regency period, there is an axiom about 'too much of a good thing'. But, I think the publishing business is cyclical and authors have to write where the money is; but it is sad to see great western writers like Lorraine Heath going to European Historicals in order to stay published. I have enjoyed them, but her westerns were really special in a sub genre that is dominated by the likes of Cassie Edwards and Bobbie Smith and their noble Indian or half breed savages.
Blythe: Heath is exactly who I was thinking of. I really thought westerns were what she did best. And I could go on for hours about bad westerns, because I have tried dozens hoping to find the next Heath. Let's hope this "nothing but Regencies" phase plays out soon. What's up for next month?
Linda: Next month we are going to celebrate the Christmas season by reading Regency Christmas Courtship. I love holiday anthologies and have expectations of schmaltz, humor, sentiment and love from them.
Blythe: The Signet Christmas Anthology is always a must-read for me, so I am very excited about this one. Sometimes we skip December because it's such a busy month. I have four kids AND I work retail, and I know you are doing a lot of craft shows right now. But both of us were perfectly willing to carve out the time for the Regency anthology. <g>
Linda: Yes, I just need my requisite amount of sentimental stories during the holiday period and Signet's Regencies have proved satisfying in the past. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and I will see you in December. Happy Reading!

Hi Experts,
I am using multiple EVDRE's in single input schedule.
As part of my requirement I need to keep some of the dimension members as static in EVDRE page key range....
I tried to do it by use EVMBR function... but I am getting different results.
In my scenario, I am having NA member in account, cost center and Product dimensions( With same name)
When i had given below statement I got account NA member as static.. but I need cost center NA member as static...
Here there is no option to select particular dimension.
I also tried by giving filters in EVMBR function..
Please help me to solve this issue.
Hi Kumar,
not sure I've understand what you asked but if you want to know how to select the right NA value you have to write <dimension name>:NA
Kind regards
Hi Kumar,
EVMBR function can pull the members from only one dimension at a time, and I believe SALES is the member of the account dimension. That's the reason that NA is also pulled from the account dimension only.
Hope this helps.

Sprint intros the Android HTC Hero – available starting October 11
Yesterday was a big day for Nokia and Windows Mobile, but today is Android's day. Shortly after the T-Mobile Pulse was officially unveiled for Europe, here comes the announcement of HTC Hero for Sprint.
As reported two days ago, Sprint's CDMA HTC Hero looks totally different from the GSM version of the handset that can already be bought in Europe.
The Hero will be available from Sprint starting October 11, coming as the carrier's first Android smartphone.
The best part: Sprint will sell the smartphone for $179.99 (excluding taxes), with a 2-yr agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate plus $50 instant savings. Much cheaper than the HTC Touch Pro2 (which is priced at $350 on contract).
Here are the highlights of Sprint's HTC Hero:
- EV-DO rev A connectivity
- 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display with 320 x 480 pixels
- Accelerometer and light sensor
- Home screen widgets
- Integrated Google services: Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube
- GPS with Sprint Navigation
- HTC Footprints
- Digital Compass
- Stereo Bluetooth 2.0
- 3.5mm headset jack
- Sprint TV with live and on-demand programming
- Quick access to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Flickr
- Visual voice mail
- 5MP camera
- MicroSD card slot – 2GB card included
- 1,500 mAh battery for up to 4 hours of talk-time
All in all, the HTC Hero is a really nice smartphone that will probably be very successful among Sprint's customers – especially since it's the first Android device that they can buy.

Rasheed Earns 10th Career Ivy Player of the Week Honor
The honors continue to come in Monday for Princeton senior Niveen Rasheed, as the guard picked up her third Ivy League Women's Basketball Player of the Week honor of the year. The conference accolade comes after she was named to the State Farm "Wade Watch" list this morning.
Rasheed earned her 10th career Player of the Week award following her 36-point, 21-rebound and seven-assist weekend. She is now tied for fourth all-time in Ivy League history.
At Cornell on Feb. 1, Rasheed shot 75 percent (9-for-12) from the field and tallied a game-high 21 points, propelling Princeton past the Big Red 77-46. A day later, Rasheed notched her sixth double-double of the year with 15 points and a season-high 16 rebounds in the Princeton's 87-41 win at Columbia.
The co-captain was also named College Sports Madness' Ivy League Player of the Week.
She leads the Tigers averaging 16.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, along with scoring in double figures in 16 games.
Rasheed and Tigers (12-5, 3-0 Ivy) head next to Brown on Friday, Feb. 8, followed by a trip to New Haven, Conn. to square off with Yale the next day.

Note: Examiner.com unpublished the last Los Angeles Cocktails Examiner article written by Aaron Vanek. You can read it here.
The Spare Room and Caliche Rum
by Shawna Waldron
Growing up in Los Angeles, Glendale to be specific, I am ashamed of myself, deep down, for not knowing about the Spare Room. Even though I lived five blocks away in Hollywood for ten years, I had never known about the hidden two lane bowling alley right above the entrance to the Hotel Roosevelt. Despite years of taking people to eat THE best burger in Los Angeles at 25 Degrees, I never knew the Bowling Alley modeleled after "There Will Be Blood", best scene ever, was right above my head.
I was shamed by my friend, Aaron Vanek, who invited me to Monday night's Caliche Rum games tournament. I couldn't believe something so mid-western was coming out of the Roosevelt, but walking into the hotel I had no idea where to go and was excited to find this secret gem after years of feeling like a regular.
The second I saw the giant 40's style mahogany doors, with the handle in the middle, I felt like I was back in time. The space is small yet spacious with a classy cabin-ish feel. It's intimate and dark but nicely lit by the bar's orange glow. The waiters and waitresses are more than beautiful; mixed with the décor, they had a style to them that makes you feel like you're not anywhere near Hollywood even though you're right in the heart of it.
Immediately I was in the middle of watching a Monday night bowling league. I was so envious of the suspender-clad champions as they drank down delicious looking libations and conquered the lanes. Even though I couldn't bowl, I was soothed. The Spare Room's gaming night brings tournaments of Jenga, Connect Four, and other games that take you back to childhood. The music was a little loud but a good mix—just an excuse to get closer to someone's ear.
What I was most anxious to get down to were the personally crafted drinks mixed by Naomi Schimek. On Monday nights they serve four signature Caliche Rum drinks, pronounced cal-ee-chay. If you're gonna twist my arm about it, I guess I'll try all of them…
Being a whiskey lover, I was shocked to find the depth and richness I love in a darker rum in the clear Caliche. It has heavy vanilla under notes, almost Chai like. There's a distinct difference between neat, (how I like my booze) and on the rocks, (both good). I recommend getting one of the crafted cocktails but if you must have neat, go with a rock or two. It'll allow the rum to release its hidden spicy, fruity undertones. Remember, this rum's still an adolescent. This beauty is aging in barrels as we speak and I can't wait to see what she matures into.
If you go to their website you can see them aging in Puerto Rico, where creators Rande Gerber and Roberto Serrallés produce the sugary stuff. This rum has been six generations in the making exclusively from the Serrallés family distillery. Below are the concoctions Naomi crafted for them. I found something for every drinker's palate.
Caliche Rum, Passion Fruit syrup, Fresh Lime, Green Chartreuse, Egg White
The fact that it's served with a lime wedge on fire is pretty great too. This one's like a sweet dessert and is going to be easy to kick back quickly. The rum is subtle but strong, and the egg white gives it a thicker texture, complimenting the lime.
Caliche Rum, Carpano Antica, Applejack, Bitters
I thought this was going to be my favorite drink. I really love my whiskey neat. The Whist is perfect for the whiskey connoisseur. The rum and bitters create an almost allspice flavor, while the applejack rounds it out with a mildly sweet after finish. It almost tastes like you should drink it on Christmas, but a cold night will do.
Caliche Rum, Fresh Lemon, Simple syrup, Bitters, Club Soda
I need to drink this on a hot Louisiana night, it's a perfect lemonade. I think we all used the word refreshing almost immediately. The club soda gives it a nice tickle. Lemon and rum, it's so simple, this one's a great reminder that sometimes that's best.
Caliche Rum, Fresh Pineapple and Basile, Housemade Orgeat, Fresh Citrus and a float of Medium Fino Sherry
Hands down my favorite drink on the menu. Who would have thought basil would taste this amazing? I had never heard of orgeat until tonight; it's a sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar and rose water or orange flower water. The blend was so good; the pineapple was the perfect glue, and you can float that Fino on it all night, it was deliciousness on steroids.
The Spare Room is great on other nights too. You can bowl from 7pm to 1am right next to the signature round-tipped windows on the Hollywood strip. The handcrafted bar menu is fantastic, as well as their food. I devoured the burger with caramelized onions on sourdough bread. The Roosevelt really knows their burgers.
However unless you work with an exclusive brand like Huff or Skull Candy, you're probably not going to be on the Monday night league any time soon. But Monday is buzzing and way mellower than a Friday. The Caliche rum menu is definitely worth a taste; I'm sure Naomi is more than happy to mix one of their creations for you on any other day of the week.
On an ending note, I highly recommend the hidden photo booth at the end of the night. As you leave, look for an indentation along the wall to your right. What seems to be just a bunch of apothecary boxes indeed contains a little room that has probably seen more action than Marilyn Monroe's villa. Myself added to that list.
May the strikes be with you.

We have decided to focus more on the oriental shorthair breed. so we will no longer be raising exotics.
Phatkat Exotics Is located in Sunny Central Oregon! We Raise and Show Exotic Shorthairs in CFA. We are thankful for the wonderful cats that have come to us from overseas and top catteries in the USA. I am excited to be working with the bloodlines I have acquired.

We breed for exotics with sweet open expressions, big round eyes, short cobby bodies, small correct ear placement, thick plush coats, and loving and social temperaments that meet the show standard. Loving and social personalities are a priority in our cats and kittens. they are used to children, men, women and other pets. Our cats are raised as part of our family. We are not a business, this is my hobby that I do for the love of the breed and to improve the breed. I do occasionally have pet cats or kittens available when we are not keeping them for ourselves to approved homes. All phatkat kittens are placed on a strict neuter/spay contract I reserve the right to refuse a placement for our cats for whatever reason.
A Huge thank you to the breeders who have shared their lines with me.I am ever so grateful to my show friends and mentors who have shared so much knowledge with me. I can't thank you enough for your trust, encouragement and generosity. We Actively show our cats in region 2.
Our cats are all PKD DNA Tested Negative,or come from PKD DNA neg. parents. We do not use pkd positive cats in our program.I strongly believe in the betterment of the breed. We are a FELV/FIP/FIV/Fungus Free Cattery! Our Cattery name is registered with the CFA and our cats are registered in CFA. We believe in raising happy and healthy cats! We are a closed cattery and do not share our cats.
We occasionally get Longhair Exotics in a litter. So if you are looking for a Persian, I may have the look you are searching for! When breeding for a Shorthair Exotic, you may get either or both shorthair or longhair kittens in a litter depending on the parents genetic makeup for carrying the shorthair gene. Even if both parents are exotic shorthairs!! The Longhair Exotic is the same in type as a longhair Persian due to the use of Persians in its gene pool. The only difference is it is genetically an exotic. Exotics with longhair are registered as Exotics. Their coat is the same to that of a Persian and will require the same routine of combing and grooming as the Persian. Although I still have found their coat to be a bit easier to work with than a Persian.
I have decided to take a little time off and am no longer raising exotics. i am however still showing in premiership!

The time has finally come, Peter Parker returns full swing with The Amazing Spider-Man issue one! The Superior Spider-Man is no more, and The Amazing Spider-Man is back, cracking jokes and focusing on helping innocent people, without beating the bad guys practically to death. The return of Amazing starts off with a two page flashback when Peter was bitten by the radioactive spider...but what happened to that spider after the bite? Here we notice that the spider bit a girl after it bit Peter. Then the spider laid dead, affecting nobody else. The flashback sequence ends here, but this story is far from over.
In the present day, a group of villains calling themselves "The Menagerie" are up to no good, and Spider-Man shows up to stop them. The problem is...Spider-Man is only wearing his mask and "tighty-whities," made from his webbing. After the embarrassment, the story goes back to four hours earlier, where we see Peter talking to a news crew, telling everyone that he's back, and that the reports of his death are false. We also get to see Jay, Aunt May, and Sajani having a conversation with Peter. Anna Maria Marconi, The Avengers, and J. Jonah Jameson are seen in the next few pages, and we see what they're up to, with the aftermath of the events of "Goblin Nation." After these panels, we see the initial fight with Spider-Man and "The Menagerie," and we see why Spider-Man loses his clothing. The end of the main story is a conversation with Peter and Anna Maria, and this could have an effect with their relationship, even though Anna Maria was Otto's love interest, not Peter's. To be continued in the next issue.
The second story is about Electro, and his downfall. The story takes place in a bar, but ends at the remains of "The Raft," and Electro consumes a lot of power, and wants to fry Spider-Man. This story is to be continued also. The third story shows us what happened to The Black Cat after The Superior Spider-Man knocked her down and webbed her up (in issue 20 of The Superior Spider-Man). She served prison time, and when she escapes, she's not happy with Spider-Man, and she's going to make sure he pays for it with his life. This story will continue in The Amazing Spider-Man issue two. The fourth story is a fun, cutesy story that's full of laughs. The fifth story features Spider-Man 2099, who will be getting his own series again in July. The sixth story features Kaine. The seventh (and final Spider-Man) story in this book is the strangest one. It's a retelling of the wrestling match and talk show performance from Spider-Man's early days, BUT, there's a kid named Clayton Cole, and he happens to be where Spider-Man is, even on the tragic night that the burglar escaped the police, the burglar who shot Uncle Ben. This story makes sense, but the strange part is that Clayton has modern day technology, internet, a smartphone, etc. This story will continue in Amazing Spider-Man 1.1. There's also a backup story for Inhuman #1.
Overall, this book is like the title, Amazing! Not only because the one and only Peter Parker/Amazing Spider-Man return, but the stories are well written, and the artwork brings the stories to life. There are several creative teams that bring us these seven stories, and they did what a lot of readers wanted after Superior Spider-Man ended, they filled in a lot of gaps. It seems like a lot of great stories will be heading our way in the upcoming months. This issue is great, I give it a five out of five stars, this is a must read book for fans of Spider-Man, or for new readers who want to get into this series. The regular edition has 82 pages and retails for $5.99. The special edition-digital exclusive has 145 pages, retails for $9.99, and it includes all the stories, a variant cover gallery, penciled pages, the inked pages, and the original script. I purchased this version and it's worth the extra dollar amount considering all the extras you'll get. Pricing will vary with the variant covers, especially the ones that are store exclusive variant covers. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (main story, "Lucky To Be Alive") is written by Dan Slott, penciled by Humberto Ramos, inked by Victor Olazaba, and colored by Edgar Delgado. Available now at local comic shops and on digital formats.

Whales and Cupcakes
Category : Student Spotlight
Yesterday's Diamond Head Hike was on Martin Luther King Day, and the trail was awfully busy with eager hikers. At the summit, we had to negotiate around the crowd to take pictures. But it was worth the trouble! The crater and mountains were completely green from all the rain, and the ocean color ranged from aqua close to shore, to violet beyond the reef, to deep blue towards the horizon. On one side the city sprawled out along the coast and up onto the ridges of the mountains. We picked out famous hotels, dorms, fancy houses and other sites among the clusters of buildings. I have been to the top of Diamond Head at least 50 times but always marvel at the views!
On this trip there was much excitement as the crowd spotted whales breaching and spouting water from their blowholes! Beyond the lighthouse they swam, enjoying the warm waters of Hawai'i. (In the winter whales vacation in Hawai'i and then return to Alaska in the spring.) I couldn't get a picture but hope Tim got it all on his video camera. Just as quickly as they appeared, the whales swam off, on to other playgrounds.
After descending, we sat on the grass to eat oranges and popsicles. And since it was Tim's 21st birthday, I made lemon cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. We talked about travelling the world, skydiving, and bungee jumping, and even waxed philosophical for a while. There's a lot to do and see this semester!

Think of this as the early warning system. Our annual Menu For Hope campaign is right around the corner. In its sixth year, this charity event brings together bloggers from all over the world to raise money for the United Nations World Food Programme. It's an awesome event that raises tens of thousands of dollars each year for hungry children around the world.
For those who are not familiar with this initiative, it is essentially a raffle, with prizes donated by bloggers (or other kind folks who want to participate but don't have blogs). Participants post a description of their prize (or get me to post one for them if they don't have a blog) and do all they can to attract donations (which will be made made on the designated donation web site) in increments of $10. Each $10 donated becomes a ticket for the raffle, which the person donating can specify as being used towards the specific prize they want.
In addition to supporting the UN World Food Programme, this is an opportunity to generate a large amount of traffic to your blog or a lot of really good press for your company/winery/product. Simple as that. You give to charity, the blogosphere gives you eyeballs.
The most important part of this project, of course are the prizes donated by bloggers and blog sympathizers. Which is where you come in. Last year we raised over $60,000 in one of the toughest economic climates for charitable giving in decades. Who knows what we'll be able to do this year, but we ought to be able to beat it.
In order to do that, however we need two things. We need great prizes donated by bloggers, and we need those bloggers to spread the word far and wide, so that lots of people want to bid on those prizes.
So I want you to consider donating a prize (whether or not you have a blog). If you're curious, here's the list of prizes donated last year.
Every year, I coordinate the wine related prizes here on Vinography.
The last thing we want to do is discourage anyone from donating a prize to this event, but we do want to make sure that your gift is fully appreciated, and helps the overall cause. There were a number of gifts last year that received only one or two bids, or didn't receive any bids at all, which was a bummer for everyone involved.
So I'd like to urge everyone participating to try to make their prize as valuable and attractive as they can, and to perhaps think beyond a prize that consists of a copy of your favorite wine book, for instance. A good rule of thumb is to think of a prize that would get at least 20 of YOUR readers or customers to donate at least 10 bucks apiece.
The other thing I would suggest, this being the world of wine bloggers we're talking about, is that unless you are a winery or a wine retailer, and you are regularly used to shipping wine to folks in other states, that you don't donate wine as your prize. Shipping wine across state lines as an individual without a distributors license is technically illegal. So if you donate wine as your prize, or as part of your prize, make sure you know what you're doing. However, if you ARE a wine producer or distributor, then BRING IT ON. Donate a couple of mixed cases of the really good stuff. Some of the most popular prizes last year were such prizes. No individual bottles, please, unless they are worth a lot of money or accompanied by other really great stuff.
1. Think of a prize and then contact me by sending me e-mail at alder at vinography dot com or commenting on this post and leaving your e-mail address.
2. I will then assign you a prize code, which is what your readers will need in order to bid on your prize, starting December 14th when the campaign launches.
3. I will also need an image to represent your prize. It doesn't have to be an image of the actual prize, although that is preferred. I need that image in two sizes: 200x200 pixels and 75x75 pixels.
4. Please also write a paragraph describing your prize in all its juicy goodness. Sell it, baby!
I hope you will consider doing your part to support this very worthy cause this year. Please let me know if you have questions.

Slavery in the history of the United States of America is a difficult topic. People often don't know how to address it or simply don't want to, and they end up either saying something out of turn or feeling perhaps that they've been misunderstood if they do speak about it or they simply just don't really think much about it, leaving what they may feel to be entirely "in the past," in the past.
But the effects of slavery on nearly every spectrum of social strata in society are lasting, and they can be seen vividly in the way people treat each other today. Racist attitudes and bigotry have filtered down generation to generation, and senses of entitlement among ruling classes often dull our sensitivity towards anyone and everyone who we deem to be different from ourselves, and thus deserving of some sense of being treated as "lesser than."
When broken down and revealed simply for what it is (and what it was, back in the slave trade days of America in the 1800s), slavery is quite honestly, hard to accept. To think of one person owning another is unequivocally wrong in no certain terms beyond just that. There can be no natural argument for a way in which any man or woman has any sense of ownership over another woman or man. And this natural truth seems, to the logical mind, to be so self-evident, that when going into a discussion of slavery, let alone a 134-minute film about it, there almost needs to be a sense of what you may associate with suspension of disbelief, such as one does when entering a fantasy film or realms of the spectacular and otherworldly.
But the crashing realization that "this is something that actually happened" comes into view, and as you sit there and take it all in—that stark, cold reality—it is so heartbreaking, it makes you feel nearly ashamed to be in the same species as people "who did that." This feeling then leads to a further examination of the ways in which you may have wronged your fellow humankind, and in all, it's a powerful experience—one that extends beyond simply thinking about issues of race and human kindness and evil and despair and hope. A thought may occur that should daily be on one's mind, of how to treat others as one would wish to be treated, and how the irremovable stain of slavery on America's past must never be forgotten.
As a film, 12 Years a Slave is so much more than this. In and of itself, it's a work of art. It's not merely a re-telling of something that everyone "should" watch (though it goes without saying that they should). It's also very artfully made. The story, based on the 1853 autobiography, is that of an African American man, Solomon Northup (played by the outstanding Chiwetel Ejiofor), a born-free citizen of New York, who was captured and taken to the south and sold into slavery. Northup's narrative had largely fallen into obscurity before resurfacing and being studied in the 1960s. This film rendition of his life is truly something magnificent and terrible to behold, and it seriously calls into question humankind's ability (and desire) to choose good over evil.
From the start, you're brought into his life with some circus performers offering him a job to go travel and work with them, as Solomon is a skilled violinist. As he leaves his family for this alleged gig, one cannot help but feel a sickness knowing what's to come.
He's brought to Washington D.C., where he's sold, then on a ship to Louisiana, where he'll live and work enslaved for the next twelve years.
The scene of the auction, where people come to look over the slaves and pick them out is utterly harrowing to watch. Although the film has its share of hard-to-watch violence, it's scenes like this that carry a phenomenal weight to them: the looks on their terrified faces, the auctioneer Theophilus Freeman's (Paul Giamatti) callous shouts, Solomon anxiously playing the violin to change the mood and demonstrate he is a skilled, educated man. Children are being separated from their mother, from their siblings. It's a brutal scene, and above all, it's incredibly dehumanizing. People are being treated and sold as less valuable than livestock. It's disgusting.
The ship ride, where those sold are bonded by chains and scuttled together in captivity, people dying of smallpox and other diseases, or killed by the crew if they misbehave, is a loathsome and dark place to be. Solomon manages to stay alive through the journey, where he then is at one of his first plantation stays, with a Master William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch), who, as far as slave-owners go, could be worse. There he also encounters a middle management type boss, John Tibeats (Paul Dano), who makes it difficult as an audience member to not want to jump through the screen and knock out. But Solomon's hopes of aid he may receive in having his true identity revealed and thus setting him free are dashed, and his stay under Master Ford is brief.
Where the bulk of Solomon's life in slavery is spent is under the cold, brutal, and unyielding force of Master Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender) and his equally vicious wife, Mistress Mary Epps (Sarah Paulson). Master Epps is a demon incarnate. His humanity is hidden beneath layers and layers of hatred and malice and cruelty and belief that he is right about his ability to own his slaves as property and do with them what he will. And the moments at which we see his stony resolve crack and crumble under this facade of belief in some "divine, God-given right," are those in which he only more viscerally and more cruelly beats and torments those he views as his property.
One woman in particular, whom Master Epps favors because of her tragic beauty as well as her incredible work output, is the lonesome and heartbreaking Patsey (Lupita Nyong'o, in what may deservedly, almost surely win her an Oscar for what is unbelievably her first big screen role). Patsey picks more cotton than all the other workers around her, men and woman, by a long shot. It's hard to tell if she thinks this may spare her at least in part from Master Epps's cruelty and maybe from him raping and beating her, as it seems to only spur him on. But she nevertheless goes on in her work. Nearly all the scenes in which we see Patsey are among the saddest in the film. When she begs Solomon to end her life, when Master Epps forces Solomon to beat her in front of everyone else, when she is found having sneaked out to go seek out a measly bar of soap to wash (at least in part) the stain of her surroundings and the stink of her own filthy, overworked body and is subsequently punished for this basic action of humanity, the need to wash...it's almost more than one can bear.
The malignant nature of both Master and Mistress Epps is an interesting and borderline psychotic role to watch. How anyone could be filled with so much hatred in their heart, hatred of themselves, hatred of those around them, and just plain white hot villainy, it's quite hard to comprehend. It comes more clearly into view when taken in the circumstances in which they find themselves. They come across as equally trapped in their wretched lives as those whom they enslave, no happier or closer to freedom from their circumstances. But this reality garners them no praise or mercy, for their actions cannot be undone. Each time Master Epps cites the Bible as he doles out lashings, his monstrous nature only comes further more clearly into view, as does his vast need for repentance.
Eventually Solomon happens upon a Canadian worker Samuel Bass (Brad Pitt), who plays an instrumental role in Solomon's search to regain his freedom. From start to finish, 12 Years a Slave is relentless, but it is a journey so well told, there is solace in knowing you're in the hands of a brilliant filmmaker.
Both director Steve McQueen and lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor are British, and though slavery in many forms has existed in a whole manner of times and places throughout our world's history, the story told herein is quintessentially American. McQueen masterfully taps into the reality of it all, while he demonstrates keen storytelling techniques and artful imagery along the way. The pain Solomon and others are going through is so very real, and it is contrasted against the stellar beauty of the backdrop of the story. The bayous and fields of Louisiana are, visually, incredibly stunning landscapes. It's astonishing to see such wonder being the setting for such evil. Its run time seems not at all drawn out, despite the horrific nature of what's presented; as a viewer you're drawn in immediately, and it's hard to believe when it's over that you just witnessed the depth of all you just saw. The film is not to be missed, and the lessons garnered are never to be forgotten.

Florida aerialist Nik Wallenda completed a tightrope walk that took him a quarter mile over the Little Colorado River Gorge in northeastern Arizona on Sunday. Wallenda performed the stunt on a 2-inch-thick steel cable, 1,500 feet above the river on the Navajo Nation near the Grand Canyon. He took just more than 22 minutes, pausing and crouching twice as winds whipped around him so that he could get "the rhythm out of the rope." "Thank you Lord. Thank you for calming that cable, God," he said about 13 minutes into the walk. Wallenda didn't wear a harness and stepped slowly and steady throughout, murmuring prayers to Jesus almost constantly along the way. He jogged and hopped the last few steps.

Junior Ian Townsend
March 15, 2014
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Ian Townsend collected a team-high three hits and drove in two runs, while Reid Love and Ryan Williams combined for eight strikeouts leading East Carolina (9-10, 2-3) to a 5-2 win over Tulane (10-7, 3-2) in game one of an afternoon twin-bill at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium Saturday afternoon.
Williams (5-1) picked up the win in relief striking out all four batters he faced after entering the game in the seventh inning with runners second and third. Love allowed two runs (all earned) on four hits in 7.2 innings of work while adding four punch-outs.
The Pirates erupted for three runs in the eighth inning breaking a two-all tie thanks to four hits and a Green Wave error. Townsend singled home Reynolds, who walked to start the stanza. Andrew LaMura, who made his collegiate debut as the designated hitter, reached on an RBI infield single that scored Townsend. ECU's final run of the game came on Eric Tyler's single to left field pushing across Jonathan Holt, who pinch ran for LaMura.
Emerson Gibbs (1-2) suffered the loss after giving up three runs (all earned) on four hits in one inning of work. Starter Randy LeBlanc matched Love pitch-for-pitch through six innings and ended up with the no decision. The right-hander surrendered two runs (both earned) on five hits with five strikeouts in seven innings.
Love was masterful in his start facing one over the minimum through six frames. He retired the first nine batters in order before allowing the leadoff batter in the fourth to reach. Love retired the side in order in five of the first six innings and 23 of 25 batters before serving up a solo home run in the seventh.
With the game scoreless heading to the bottom of the sixth, ECU finally broke through plating a pair of runs for a 2-0 advantage. Bryce Harman stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and one out delivering a sac fly to left field that scored Hunter Allen. Townsend followed with a single up the middle plating Ben Fultz before LuMura grounded out to short to end the stanza.
Tulane chipped away at the lead scoring a run in the seventh and eighth innings knotting the contest at two-all. Andrew Garner broke up Love's no-hit bid in the seventh sending a fly ball over the right field wall with one out cutting the lead to one, 2-1.
Richard Carthon's RBI single that platted Bowen Woodson pulled the Green Wave even in the eighth inning. Woodson singled up the middle with one out, took second on Stephen Alemais' base knock through the left side before sprinting home on Carthon's base hit to left field.
