Multiple Grammy winner Tony Bennett
was still in high school when he started out crooning in small New
York clubs as Joe Bari. Bob Hope liked his sound but not his stage
name. Upon learning that Joe had been born Anthony Dominick Bendetto,
Hope suggested that the young man merely simplify his own real name.
The master comic then strolled onto the Brooklyn Paramount stage
and, for the first time, introduced the world to Tony Bennett. More
than 50 hits followed between 1951 and 1977. Tony never warmed to
the music that pushed him off the charts, insisting that "rock ' n' roll
doesn't have a note of real feeling." He preferred his
kind of "quality songs" -- the '30s and '40s
tunes of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin,
George Gershwin and other Tin Pan Alley composers. Ironically, two
of Bennett's sons later formed their own rock band -- and
Tony himself made a major comeback with younger audiences in the '90s,
still singing his beloved standards. His 1994 "MTV Unplugged" album
became one of his all-time best-sellers and won the Grammy for Album
of the Year.
Biggest hits: BECAUSE OF YOU (1951),
Only one other star -- Elvis Presley
-- outranked Pat Boone as a hitmaker in the latter half of the 1950s.
Between 1955 and 2002, Pat placed no less than 67 songs on the charts,
including 16 in the Top 10. His sales topped 45 million and he holds
the all-time record for consecutive weeks on the hit parade: more
than 200. In 1957, Boone became the youngest performer in history
to host his own prime-time variety TV series. It was also the year
in which Pat starred in the first of his 15 films. He eventually
became a best-selling author, talk show host, inspirational leader
and, in 1997, the first 63-year old to release a hit CD of heavy
metal music ("No More Mr. Nice Guy"; heavy mental songs
re-arranged into big band music). From the start, Boone was always "Mr.
Nice Guy" -- a modest, charming, extremely likeable entertainer
and individual -- "the clean-cut alternative to Elvis Presley' (although
the two were actually good friends). Pat's warm, mellow, perfectly-pitched
baritone proved equally adept at tender ballads, heartfelt hymns,
Christmas classics, country standards, rock 'n' roll
and rhythm 'n' blues.
Biggest hits: LOVE LETTERS IN THE
Unlike other kids in the '80s
and '90s, Michael Buble (pronounced BOO-BLAY) spent his childhood
listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Rosemary Clooney and
Frank Sinatra. "My grandfather was really my best friend growing
up," said the Vancouver vocalist. "He was the one who
opened me up to a whole world of music than seemed to have been
passed over by my generation. Although I like rock 'n' roll
and modern music, the first time my granddad played me the Mills
Brothers something magical happened. The lyrics were so romantic,
so real -- the way a song should be. It was like seeing my future
flash before me. I wanted to be a singer and I knew that this was
the music that I wanted to sing." Buble entered a local talent
competition and won first place -- only to be disqualified for being
under age. After turning 17, Michael won the top prize again --
this time in the Canadian Youth Talent Search. He recorded a series
of independently-released albums before Grammy winner David Foster,
the owner of Canada's 143 label, signed the young man and
directed the production of his debut album in 2001. Included was
what would become the typical mix of numbers on a Buble album --
some all-time standards ("For Once in My Life," "The
Way You Look Tonight") plus newer titles (like "You'll
Never Find Another Love Like Mine"). The Bee Gees even sang
along on Buble's remake of their 1971 hit "How Can You
Mend A Broken Heart." "Michael hasn't just learned
this music, said Foster. "He's lived it. He brings youthful
energy to it -- tough and tender at the same time -- like nothing
else I've ever heard. The great thing is, he's tapped
into a repertoire that can last him 50 years. He's at the
beginning of a very long career."
Biggest hits: HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN
His voice was as tender as a lover's
touch -- warm, caressing, silky soft, as smooth as velvet -- and
over a 30-year recording career he became one of the best-loved
romantic balladeers of all time. Nathaniel Adams Coles was born
the son of a Baptist minister in Montgomery, Alabama in 1917 and
by age five was playing the piano. Fifteen years later, after "King" had
been added to his name as a variation on the fairy tale figure Old
King Cole (and the "s" in Coles dropped), Nat still
thought of himself as strictly an instrumentalist. That changed
after a club patron insisted one night that he both play and sing
a request. To Cole's amazement, it was his voice that swept
him to fame in 1942 and kept him on top until his death at age 48
from lung cancer. Nat made movies, hosted his own TV show and scored
more than 175 pop and rhythm 'n' blues (R&B) hits.
A quarter century after his death, Nat "King" Cole won
a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award. The next year, an electronic "duet" between
Nat and his now grown-up daughter, Natalie, became both a Grammy
winner and million-selling sensation.
Biggest hits: TOO YOUNG (1951), MONA
Perry Como was making $40 a week as
a barber in 1933 when he got an offer to sing with a local big band
for $28 a week. Never one to pass up a good clip job, he said yes
--- and three years later did the same when given the opportunity
to join Ted Weems' nationally-known orchestra. After Weems
broke up his big band in order to enlist for World War II, Perry
went solo as both a radio star and a recording artist. Between 1943
and 1974, Como logged almost 150 hits, everything from neo-opera
to novelties, Christmas carols to country classics, beautiful ballads
to sacred songs, romantic rhapsodies to rock 'n' roll
records. Over a 50-year career, Perry's total record sales
topped 100 million -- and from the '50s to the '80s,
he was a top TV star who won five Emmys. The ex-barber's style
was so relaxed and easygoing that comedians loved to parody him
as "Perry Coma." He'd just smile and add a few
self-depreciating remarks of his own. We lost the man Andy Williams
said had "the sweetest, loveliest voice of any pop singer" in
2001, when Perry died at the age of 88.
Biggest hits: SOME ENCHANTED EVENING
Harry Lillis Crosby was, without a
doubt, the most popular entertainer of the pre-rock 'n' roll
years. He got his unusual nickname as a child in Tacoma, Washington,
where he was born in 1901. As his prominent ears resembled those
of a character in a comic strip called "The Bingville Bugle," he
was then and forevermore known as "Bing." Over a full
half-century, Bing Crosby starred on radio, TV, in concert and in
more than 50 movies -- and was planning more at the time of his
passing in1977. His resonant baritone was warm, deep and rich, allowing
him to singing rhythmically as well as any musician could play. "He
called it groaning," said Bob Hope, "but we call it
magic." Bing's music ranged from serious songs to comedy
cavalcades -- yet Crosby could send home a tender romantic verse
with all the heart and soul anyone could possibly wish for. And
he certainly loved to swing, always preferring to work in front
of a full, live orchestra. Between 1927 and 1965 Bing cut over 350
(!) hits -- more than anyone else ever.
Biggest hits: WHITE CHRISTMAS (1942),
"Romance is my life," said
Vic Damone, "and music and love are together." Born
Vito Rocco Farinola in 1928 in Bensonhurst, a neighborhood in Brooklyn,
Vic Damone delivered fruit and sang in his church choir before landing
the job that turned his life around -- working as a theatre usher.
One night he worked a Frank Sinatra concert as was mesmerized by "his
phrasing, his breathing, his tone, his timbre. Everything." Having
discovered a role model, Damone decided to try making it as a supper
club crooner. He won an Arthur Godfrey "Talent Scouts" competition
in 1946 and the next year had both a contract with Mercury Records
and his own radio program. Fifty hits followed through the end of
the '60s, as well as movie roles and jobs hosting three different
TV series. Vic's liquid baritone and serene delivery made
him one of the most popular of all postwar romanticists. "I'm
a ballad singer," said Damone, "and I guess I always
will be." Frank Sinatra himself credited Vic with having "the
best pipes in the business."
Biggest hits: YOU'RE BREAKING
Dick Haymes had a voice deeper and
more resonant than Sinatra's -- one heavily influenced by
his idol, Bob Eberly, who was the top male crooner with the big
band of Jimmy Dorsey. Haymes was a charming, intelligent singer-songwriter
whose sensitive sound made him one of the 1940s' best-loved
entertainers. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1916, Dick grew
up in the U.S., where his mother, a renowned vocal coach, taught
him every nuance of his craft. His first break came in 1940, when
he began a two-year run with the orchestra of Harry James. Then
came stints with the big bands of Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey.
Finally, in 1943, Dick emerged on his own, racking up 66 hits over
the next 13 years. They included ten duets with Helen Forrest, his
co-star on one of his radio series. Haymes made many movies between
1944 and 1953 and was married six times -- to lovely ladies like
Joanne Dru and Rita Hayworth. His career declined in the '50s,
contributing to his alcohol abuse and eventual bankruptcy. His last
wife, Wendy, rescued him from that and in the '70s Haymes
returned as a popular club and TV performer and made some first-rate
new recordings. He died in 1980.
Biggest hits: LITTLE WHITE LIES (1948),
Although born in Madras, India, in
1936, Arnold Dorsey grew up in England, where he paid for his singing
lessons as a teenager by delivering papers for 72 cents a week.
His attempts at crooning in workingmen's clubs were all financial
failures; in fact, in 1959 young Dorsey was diagnosed with tuberculosis,
brought on by starvation and sleeping on floors or open ground.
Finally, in 1965, Gordon Mills, the manager of Tom Jones, signed
Arnold and immediately changed his name to that of a 19th century
German composer whose best-known work was the folk opera "Hansel
and Gretel." "I was sitting on a stool at the time," recalled
the six-foot, three-inch singer, "and I laughed so hard I
fell off. I thought he was joking." Mills wasn't --
and over the next 18 years the man he dubbed "Engelbert Humperdinck" became
famous as the "King Of Romance" with ten gold albums
and nearly two dozen hits in the '60s, '70s and '80s.
Biggest hits: RELEASE ME (1967), AFTER
Twinkle-eyed romantic Dean Martin
spent a decade paired with crazy Jerry Lewis as the '50s' most
madcap comedy team. After each went solo, "Dino" became
the host of his own top-rated TV series and the maker of dozens
of sometimes swingin', sometimes heartwarming hits. In his
movies, nightclub and TV appearances, and 60-plus albums, the former
Dino Crocetti cultivated a suave, effortless pose. "I don't
work at nothin';" Martin boasted to Look magazine in
1966. "I'm not a great singer or anything like that.
I just croon." Martin began his show business career at age
17, singing in Ohio nightclubs near his hometown. He was noticed
by Cleveland bandleader Sammy Watkins, who hired Martin as his band's
featured vocalist. In1944 Dino was given his own 15-minute radio
program, "Songs by Dean Martin," which was broadcast
from New York City. In 1946 he recorded for the very first time:
four songs for Diamond Records. During a club engagement that year,
Martin met Lewis and they teamed up, with Dean playing the straight
man to Jerry's clown. Their immense club popularity led to
radio and TV appearances as well as 16 films between 1949 and 1956.
After the duo split up, Martin found solo stardom in movies, on
record (for Capitol and Reprise) and in concert. To his many fans,
Dino was the epitome of "cool," with a cigarette in
one hand and a bit o' booze in the other. (In reality, Martin
never really was much of a drinker. That "whiskey" in
his glass was actually apple juice.) Dino died on Christmas Day,
Biggest hits: MEMORIES ARE MADE OF
The youngest of nine children, James
Travis Reeves hosted and sang on his own weekly radio show over
Shreveport's KRMD while in high school. After his dreams of
becoming a professional baseball player ended with a leg injury,
Jim decided to stick with radio and slowly developed a warm, intimate
microphone technique. He was still announcing on "The Louisiana
Hayride" and other radio shows when he turned 30 in 1953.
Now and then, when an artist failed to show up on time, Jim would
sing on the live "Hayride" broadcast. Producer Fabor
Robinson happened to be listening one night and offered Reeves a
contract with Abbott Records. That May, Jim topped the country charts
with "Mexican Joe," his first of 80 hits over the next
three decades. What makes that accomplishment especially mind-boggling
is that 37 of those hits -- nearly half of Reeves' career
total -- reached the hit parade during the 20 years after his death
at age 40 in a 1964 plane crash. How was that possible? It helped
that Jim was a prolific recording artist -- and that his label took
great pride in slowly releasing his tunes from their vault as 45
RPM singles. Add to that the fact that, after 1955, Reeves' records
were released by RCA Victor and produced in a timeless style by
Country Music Hall of Famer Chet Atkins. Chet encouraged Jim to
sing softly and intimately, very close to the mike, in the lower
baritone range of his velvet voice. And the backup musicians played
Atkins' new "Nashville Sound" arrangements, which
were far more uptown and pop-sounding than country's old hillbilly
style. That helped "Gentleman Jim," who was elected
to the Country Music Hall of Fame himself in 1967, to score big
hits in the pop field as well.
Biggest hits: HE'LL HAVE TO
"I'm not a great singer
or vocal technician," said Kenny Rogers. "I'm
a stylist. I have a familiar voice with a certain honesty and distinction." His
voice became familiar through nearly 70 pop and/or country hits
from the '60s through the '90s. Born in Texas, Kenny
was six in 1944 when he made his singing debut before a nursing
home audience. He cut his first single with his high school band,
The Scholars, in 1956. Stints in a jazz quartet (The Bobby Doyle
Four) and a folk group (The New Christy Minstrels) followed before
Kenny finally scored as lead singer of The First Edition in 1968
("Just Dropped In" and others). After 11 hits and their
own TV series, The First Edition broke up in 1976. Rogers then embarked
on a solo career as a country star -- one of the few channels then
open to someone of his "advanced" age (38). The results
exceeded his wildest expectations -- as Kenny emerged as both a
country and pop superstar, leading to film roles in the "Gambler" series
of movies and "Coward of the County." After some fallow
years in the late '80s and '90s, Rogers made a spectacular
comeback in 1998 by launching his own label (Dreamcatcher Records)
and releasing the #1 country hit "Buy Me A Rose."
Biggest hits: LADY (1980), COWARD
After less than one year in the employ
of big band leader Harry James, a skinny singer named Francis Albert
Sinatra was given the break of a lifetime: to sing with the third
most popular band of 1939 (Artie Shaw's was #1, Kay Kyser's
was #2). Almost overnight, the combination of the man they'd
call "The Voice" with the orchestra of "That Sentimental
Gentleman of Swing," Tommy Dorsey, sent the music world swooning. "No
singer had ever sung like that before, recalled Jo Stafford, then
a member of the Pied Pipers, the vocal quartet which often backed
Sinatra. By the time he left Tommy's organization in 1942,
Frank was a superstar. He would go on to make his mark as an Oscar-winning
actor, TV host, record company owner and the creator of some 170
solo (and duet) hits through 1980. Among Sinatra's Grammys
was a somewhat premature 1965 "Lifetime Achievement Award," as
he had yet to chart 30 more albums (13 of which became million-sellers!).
By that time billed as "The Chairman of the Board," "The
Voice" continued to enchant millions with new material until
just before his death in1998 at the age of 82.
Biggest hits: ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL
"Though I love to write music,
arrange songs, play drums, author books and act, first and foremost
I'm a singer," said Mel Torme. "It's what
I do best." Born in Chicago, Mel made his radio singing debut
in 1929 -- wearing a sailor suit and singing "You're
Driving Me Crazy." He was four years old. Later, in the school
band, he played alongside future TV legend Steve Allen. "Singing
with the Chico Marx orchestra was my first big break," Torme
recalled. The next year, at age 16, he made his film debut in the
1946 Frank Sinatra musical "Higher and Higher." It was
DJ Fred Robbins who first called Mel "The Velvet Fog," an
improvement over such earlier nicknames as "Mr. Butterscotch" or "The
Kid with Gauze in his Jaws." "I really detested it," said
Mel, of the "Velvet Fog" tag. Over time, though, he
came to realize that "it really embodies me as a performer
and personality." Torme scored his dozen hits between 1945
and 1962, explaining that he was attracted to a tune "if it's
a great song with a pleasing melody and a strong backbone of lyrics." As
a composer, Mel is best-known for co-writing the Nat "King" Cole
Yuletide classic "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On
An Open Fire)." Torme died at age 73 in 1999.
Biggest hits: CARELESS HANDS (1949),
If you'd been in the right church
in Wall Lake, Iowa in 1937, you'd have heard Bob, Don, Dick
and eight-year-old Andy harmonizing as The Williams Brothers. The
quartet later sang on radio and records (backing Bing Crosby, for
instance, on "Swingin' On A Star") and toured
nightclubs with comedienne Kay Thompson. After that act broke up
in 1953, Bob, Don and Dick retired from show biz, but not Andy.
He began a three-year run as a regular on Steve Allen's television
program and started cutting his first of 45 hits through 1976. Williams
also hosted his own TV variety series between 1962 and 1971. "I
think you have to bear in mind that mine was not just a recording
career but a television and recording career," Andy said. "The
two of them together, working hand in hand. Even in making records,
our thought was, 'What can we do with this one to expose it
well on TV'?" That philosophy certainly paid off, since
-- in addition to his hit singles -- Williams scored 34 hit albums
between 1960 and 1995.
Biggest hits: BUTTERFLY (1957), CAN'T

NEWARK — A passenger plane with hydraulic problems made an emergency landing at Newark Liberty International Airport this evening, forcing the temporary closure of the entire airport, authorities said.
There were no reports of injuries, and the plane — a United Shuttle Air Express traveling from Atlanta to Newark — was evacuated, fire officials and Port Authority officials told The Star-Ledger.
The plane apparently made an emergency landing without its front landing gear deployed around 6:22 p.m., according to a law enforcement alert obtained by The Star-Ledger. There were 71 people aboard the plane when it landed, according to the alert, and all of the passengers were evacuated and taken to a nearby terminal via bus.
No passengers or crew members were hurt.
Newark Fire Department crews were dispatched to the scene, according to Capt. John Brown, an agency spokesman, but there were no smoke or fire conditions aboard the plane.
Brown said the plane apparently had a landing gear malfunction near the nose of the aircraft.
The entire airport was shut down as of 6:54 p.m., "due to an aircraft incident," according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Within about 15 minutes, the airport was reopened with two of its three runways in operation.
Port Authority spokesman Ron Marsico said the United Shuttle Air Express plane was forced to make an emergency landing at 6:22 p.m. because of "nose gear issues." No injuries were reported, Marsico said.
There were unconfirmed reports that passengers were ordered to leave the plane via emergency chutes. Firefighters and ambulances were sent to the area of Newark Airport between Terminal A and Terminal B this evening, and some remained at the scene as of 7:45 p.m.
The United Shuttle commuter jet was surrounded by the flashing lights of emergency vehicles. An emergency evacuation slide appeared to extend from one of the doors. Emergency vehicles included at least two ambulances, a crash truck and several Port Authority Police cars.
Television footage on News 12 New Jersey showed the jet slumped forward, the underside of it nose resting on the tarmac, its front landing still retracted, its rear-landing gear deployed and supporting the rear of the plane.

Vintage automobiles have a unique aesthetic appeal and strong following. Go ahead and Google "vintage car shows" in your area. You will surely get results that cater completely to these blasts from the past. Now how does this help dealerships drive traffic to their websites?
Vintage cars are either rebuilt or their owners have kept them in pristine condition. If they are rebuilt, we get to see interesting body colors and graphics that direct a great deal of attention. If they are originals, well then we have a rare gem that car enthusiasts would love to check out.
These niche markets are actively looking for vintage vehicles, so give them what they want!
Vintage Cars in Action
PCG Digital Marketing is located in Eatontown, NJ, right by the beach. On October 20th, The Race Of Gentlemen took to Allenhurst's sandy shore for a full day of vintage cars from pre-World War II. These cars were showcased on the street along Allenhurt's boardwalk, and drag raced for a 1/8th mile stretch on the beach.
Car and motorcycle enthusiasts came from up and down the east coast to see the vehicles, and some were even sold during the show. This was simply a well-put together event that was promoted in local papers, blogs, and other news sources.
Drive Traffic To Your Site and Your Lot with Vintage Cars
While we don't recommend holding drag races at your dealership, this local event was proof that old cars draw a certain crowd. Here's a simple way to make it work for your dealership.
Start by finding an event. Like I said early, just Google "vintage car shows," "classic car shows," or "classic car races" in your area to find plenty of events to attend.
Take it one step further by hosting your own event. Classic cars can bring customers to your lot. Showcase a few over the weekend to contrast the 1960 Challenger to the new 2013 model. Nostalgia may set in for a bit, and the 2013 model's muscle car body and power with an advanced media center could be your next sell.
For either event, take photos and make friends. Hand out business cards so those you take pictures of can go online and check out the blog post you are going to write on the event. This may also be a good time to expand your email list.
Writing a blog post featuring the specs and pictures of a 1940 Ford pickup compared to a new 2013 Ford F-150 is both informative and intriguing. The shapes have changed drastically over the years, and the technology is so far advanced now that it is hard to imagine not having Trailer Sway Control or Electronic Locking Rear Differential. Also, the people in your photos will want to look for themselves. It may seem vain, but hey, if you have a good photo they might just use it as a profile picture.
Post these on your blog, then promote on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. This can take your traffic from online to the lot and vice versa. Do a search on each network to find the target market.
Attendees, enthusiasts, and the car owners themselves are looking for photos of the event. Wouldn't it be nice to be that outlet?

If you logged in to NHL.com this morning, you may have run into this message from the league to us, the fans.
"Despite the expiration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the National Hockey League has been, and remains, committed to negotiating around the clock to reach a new CBA that is fair to the Players and to the 30 NHL teams.
Thanks to the conditions fostered by seven seasons under the previous CBA, competitive balance has created arguably the most meaningful regular season in pro sports; a different team has won the Stanley Cup every year; fans and sponsors have agreed the game is at its best, and the League has generated remarkable growth and momentum. While our last CBA negotiation resulted in a seismic change in the League's economic system, and produced corresponding on-ice benefits, our current negotiation is focused on a fairer and more sustainable division of revenues with the Players — as well as other necessary adjustments consistent with the objectives of the economic system we developed jointly with the NHL Players' Association seven years ago. Those adjustments are attainable through sensible, focused negotiation — not through rhetoric.
This is a time of year for all attention to be focused on the ice, not on a meeting room. The League, the Clubs and the Players all have a stake in resolving our bargaining issues appropriately and getting the puck dropped as soon as possible. We owe it to each other, to the game and, most of all, to the fans."
Dear NHL,
Saying your committed to around the clock negotiations with the NHLPA, does not mean meeting 1 on 1 with the other side for 15 minutes at a Taco Bell in Hoboken, NJ for lunch the day before the Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire. It means you are willing to do whatever is necessary to put the sport where it belongs, in arenas across the United States and Canada, not held hostage over a negotiating table. Being committed means you are willing to compromise with the other side. Compromise is not "come meet with us when YOU are willing to bend." Although the league may believe they got away with murder with fans after cancelling the 2004-05 season, I'm not sure some fans are willing to give the NHL a third chance, just to get their hearts broken again once the next CBA expires.
Figure this stuff out NHL & NHLPA. Your fans' patience comes with a shelf life and it's MUCH shorter this time around.

Fort Wilson Riot :: Six Strings and Chicken Wings :: Paul Metsa's Holiday on Ice Cubes :: Koerner & Glover :: Drum/Dance Circle :: Matthew Santos :: 2 Wurds :: City on the Make AND THIS WEEK'S
: Dosh/Fog at the Triple Rock ...
Fort Wilson Riot
Nomad World Pub
For those who have been following Fort Wilson Riot and their creation of five-part song "Idigaragua" with fascination, you'll be excited to be in on the first public performance of the newly completed song in its entirety at the Nomad tonight. If you haven't heard this song, or only know the pirated part, it's a rock opera masterpiece of sublime beauty and terror. Since its beginnings as one page of lyrics from a Paul Bowles short story to tonight (three years in the making), it is truly an amazing song—intelligent and lyrically potent with masterful, surprising transitions and fantastic vocals and instrumentation. Celebrate this completed live rock opera masterpiece before FWR hits the recording studio. With Trimmed Hedges, a surprise new favorite of mine featuring lead singer/keyboardist, Dom, the night promises live surprises for all. Trimmed Hedges will be performing their EP Abandoned Cities in its entirety—a refreshingly soulful CD with experimental instrumentation, indie rock, metallic and alt.country tinges. Another new band to watch is Dance Band, Nomad's resident Thursday night band who will make you jiggle in the middle (set).
9 p.m. 21+. 501 Cedar Ave., Mpls. 612-338-6424.
Six Strings and Chicken Wings
Bryant-Lake Bowl
God bless chicken wings. They're delicious! Especially when combined with creamy and delicious sauces for dipping. Make 'em organic, and they're even better! Now, I may be flying too close to the sun here, but if you then combine those organic chicken wings and their sauces with some killer acoustic music, you'd be on to something. Enter the Bryant-Lake Bowl, who are assuming all the wax-melting risk, and presenting a selection of wings for your delectation with performances by Duluth's own roots and blues master Charlie Parr and our very own old-timey heroes, The Get Up Johns. Parr grabbed Minnesota Music Awards for Best Blues Artist and Best Blues Recording for his Eclectone-released
, two awards he richly deserved. It'll also be great to catch The Get Up Johns in such an intimate setting; their novel approach of setting up a single microphone to capture both vocals and instruments makes for a unique concert-going experience, but in larger spaces, the sound can get lost. Hopefully the sound of people munching on wings won't be sufficient to drown them out at this show.
10 p.m. $8. 810 W. Lake St., Mpls. 612-825-8949.
STEVE McPHERSON
Paul Metsa's Holiday on Ice Cubes
Columbia Grounds Coffee Shop
This Northeast Minneapolis holiday tradition promises a good time while doing good. Paul Metsa is a 30-year veteran of the Minnesota music scene—electrified and acoustic, he's been part of the Cats Under The Stars band, as well as a solo performer. His Holiday on Ice Cubes show has Metsa sharing the stage with a number of surprise guests. Entry can be had for a donation of non-perishable food items for the Northeast Seniors Food Shelf and/or cash.
7 – 10 p.m. 3101 Central Ave. NE, Mpls. 612-781-7873.
Koerner & Glover
400 Bar
Spider John Koerner and Tony Glover perform an encore winter weekly residency on the West Bank, just like they used to, every Thursday through the end of January at the 400 Bar. Stomping and wailing out the blues, Koerner and Glover are as vital and strong as ever. Shake off those winter blahs with lots more blues, rags and hollers. In the 1970s Koerner and Glover were West Bank staples—Spider John Koerner is legendary for his guitar playing and impeccable timing, Tony Glover for bluesy, soulful harp playing. Today the duo continues to draw and awe folks of all ages. Since their early '60s chance meeting when the two played together at Dave Ray's in New York, to recording their debut
Blues, Rags and Hollers
album in 1963, Koerner and Glover have been an instrumental force, influencing musicians today, and playing old country blues and traditional folk with uncanny skill and style. Experience live what these cats have to offer—not only in spirited skill and cheesy humor, but also in rarely heard authenticity and soul.
8 p.m. $5. 18+. 400 Cedar Ave., Mpls. 612-332-2903.
Drum/Dance Circle
Cedar Cultural Center
The last time I had the privilege of witnessing a really good drum circle in action, it was on a little-used bridge traversing the Mississippi River on a balmy summer night. I kept worrying that someone was going to slip off the bridge into the flowing water, and that there was no official safety plan in place for that slim possibility. So I suggested to no one in particular that we would all agree to throw a few congas (as life buoys) into the river if that happened. A few people glanced my way curiously when I mentioned this, thinking I-don't-know-what. Thankfully no one fell, and I have my fear of unsecured heights to blame for my panicky concerns. The winter solstice drum/dance circle happening at a West Bank venue poses no threat to acrophobes, though, and I assume the fire dancers will have a safety procotol they follow. And what better way to celebrate the winter solstice and darkest day of the year than with drums and fire? Storied Boiled in Lead drummer Robin "Adnan" Anders and other percussionists (bring your drum!) make rhythms for Illumination Fire Dancers, and Mystic Toyz jugglers evoke pagan spirits on the longest night of the year.
6:30 p.m. $10. 416 Cedar Ave., Mpls. 612-338-2674.
Matthew Santos
Acadia Cafe
If you like the witty poetic grit you get with the likes of, say, Tom Waits or Dr. John, you're going to love the soulfully wizened Matthew Santos. Not that he imitates either one, just that he's in the same bag—an uncommonly gifted, sort of weirdnik troubadour who pulls off some of strangest musical ideas as easily as most cats play a three-chord folk song. And if you want to hear some truly fine scatting, check out his cut "Shadows in a Shoebox," a swing-ballad with engaging abandon, impassioned urgency and, in general, cast iron chops (you can hear it online at
). Being as he hangs his hat in Chicago, this gig will be a choice opportunity to see him live. You can also catch him Saturday night when he slides into the 400 Bar to jam with his brother Nathan Santos of 2 Wurds.
7 p.m. $5. 1931 Nicollet Ave. S., Mpls. 612-874-8702.
Triple Rock Social Club
In a battle of monosyllabically-monikered experimentalists, Martin Dosh and a pile of gear will take on Andrew Broder and his pals. It's sure to be a knockdown, dragout match, given the history these two share. Dosh has provided drums for Fog on occasion, while Broder has provided guitar on some of Dosh's albums, but don't mistake that for weakness. These guys are out for blood. Expect 15-yard facemask penalties and more fines than the NBA handed out for that brawl at Madison Square Garden during the Knicks/Nuggets game the other night. Seriously. I know what you're saying: Fog plays angular and spikily beautiful music with intellectual lyrics, while Dosh crafts cascading and complex tracks like tinker toys out of tiny, fractured pieces—there's no way two such sensitive and empathetic souls could battle to the death on the Triple Rock's dance floor. Fine, be that way: Just know that First Ave doesn't have a monopoly on steel cage matches when it comes to local venues doubling as wrestling stadiums. With Mel Gibson and the Pants, Tarantula Skulls and DJ Ghost Band spinning between sets.
9 p.m. $8. 18+. 629 Cedar Ave., Mpls. 612-333-7499.
STEVE McPHERSON
2 Wurds
400 Bar
2 Wurds come tough with swaggering funk at its absolute finest. Setting them apart from even some of the best around is the inventive material by main songwriter Nathan Santos and tasty arrangements by the whole band: Santos (vocals and rhythm guitar), Dennis Kamp (guitar), Mike Vechell (sax), Clarence "Nate" Cole (bass) and Brad Hartung (drums). When you look at their backgrounds, it's not much of a surprise. Kamp, who also plays with the hip-hop outfit Project 13, has gigged with the likes of Desdamona, Carnage, Capaciti and more (it's a long list). Cole is formerly of Filthy Divine and does double duty with Kymara. In fact, the only non-veteran is Hartung, who has no trouble holding his own. From the first note to the last, these guys ain't nothin' nice. See for yourself—just be sure to bring some dancin' shoes, because they'll truly make you want to get up on the proverbial good foot. And, if that ain't enough, Dessa from Doomtree will be sitting in for a few numbers.
8 p.m. $5. 400 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-332-2903.
City on the Make
Nomad World Pub
City on the Make comes off a little like Tom Waits, a little like the Black Keys, and a lot like a greasy grubby bucket of something. There may be a little G. Love and Special Sauce going on there, too; after all, the drums pulse and ring like hip-hop. But the vocals are overdriven yowls straight from the gutter. Taken altogether, it's an unorthodox sound, but one that pays dividends on party-appropriate jams like "Howlin' at a Silver Moon," which you can check out at their
MySpace page
. Its "Ah-woo-HA!" chorus is impossible to do justice to in print, and I'm willing to bet it's even more invigorating live than streamed as a lo-fi version from everybody's favorite social networking site. Part of the Minneseries.
9 p.m. Free. 21+. 501 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-338-6424.

So the tears and smiles and hugs have subsided since yesterday, when, as expected, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Dick Ambrose sentenced serial killer Anthony Sowell to death.* Now begins the lengthy, costly process by which we, the citizens of Ohio, execute our revenge killing. Ambrose set the date of lethal injection for Oct. 29, 2012. But anyone who has paid even the slightest bit of attention to the capital punishment process knows that Sowell won't be killed for at least a decade yet. An agonizing decade for the families and friends of Sowell's victims, who will be dragged through the lengthy appeals process, confronted by the media at every turn, with their sorrow stoked each time it appears to be on the wane.
And at the end of it what will we have achieved? Will injecting this man with lethal chemicals bring back those he killed? Of course not. Will it make us any safer? No. Sowell would be just as incapacitated spending his life in prison. And studies have shown that capital punishment doesn't function as a deterrent for would-be murderers.
We will, however, have been successful in becoming murderers once again ourselves, and in helping to perpetuate this class of justice from which there's no going back. An ultimate justice that, nevertheless, has had to free nearly 140 of its convicts since 1973 owing to evidence of their innocence. How many innocents have we overlooked in that time and killed anyway?
In addition to having our humanity reduced, we will also be a lot less well off financially. All available data show that it is far more expensive to carry out the death penalty process, from pre-trial through execution, than it is to adjudicate a life-without-parole case. Many cried foul at the nearly $600,000 price tag pinned on taxpayers for Sowell's defense, but the price was so high exactly because this was a capital case. Note that the defense didn't even call a witness in the first phase of the trial—the bulk of the money was spent on experts who might be able to save Sowell's life, not prove his innocence. And our spending has only just begun. For cash-strapped Ohioans who can't be swayed by moral arguments against the death penalty, perhaps they can be won over by this monetary one. Especially as they see spending for their schools, health care and other vital services slashed, and public assets sold off to private interests tight with Ohio legislators.
Adlean Atterberry, mother of victim Michelle Mason, told Sowell in court Friday, "I'm not a hateful person. I never believed in the death penalty until I met you. I never, ever wanted anybody to die like that. But now that I've met you, they need to set [the execution] on Public Square." Atterberry's reaction is understandable. And, because it's understandable, it's also a clear example of why we need to take the death penalty option off the table: so we can't fall back on it in our most emotionally vulnerable moments. As Atterberry seemingly would have attested in any other case, we'll have achieved nothing by executing Anthony Sowell other than having spent lots of time, emotion, energy and money—and lost a good deal of our humanity in the bargain—to perpetrate an archaic eye-for-an-eye revenge killing. Capital punishment in no way helps us to foster a safe, humane, just and prosperous society.
* Perhaps less expected was Ambrose's courtroom commentary on Sowell's prospects in the hereafter: "If you did feel bad, then I would have some hope for you. Not for your physical well-being here on Earth, because that's been decided in court—but for your eternal well-being." Ambrose holds one of the most crucial roles in our secular system of justice. As such, it's disturbing that he chooses to invoke religious justice while sentencing a man to death.

text: Tenerife is a haven for those who like good temperatures and sun all year round. Due to its positions off the coast of Africa and as near to the equator as most European islands get, Tenerife enjoys a climate that tends not to drop below the mid to late teens, with average temperatures well into the late 20's by midsummer. Car hire in Tenerife is popular due to Mount Teide's natural popularity, and if you are hiring a car in Tenerife, the island has an array of established resorts such as Playa de Las Americas, as well as a vibrant capital in Santa Cruz.

Jersey City officials announced yesterday two new crime-fighting initiatives that include new police officers and one tall new gadget.
At the parking lot of the Hub shopping plaza on Martin Luther King Drive, Mayor Jerramiah Healy, Police Chief Tom Comey and other city officials spoke to residents and the press in front of a new portable surveillance tower known as the "Eye in the Sky."
The city hopes it will lessen crime in the area and elsewhere.
"It's like having four different police officers looking in four different directions at any given time," Comey said.
The $100,000 tower, which the city obtained with federal funding, consists of a square room mounted on a scissors lift that can extend over three stories. Inside the room is a video screen on which an officer can watch video feeds from three different cameras mounted on the outside.
The tower can be used for crowd control, emergency response, port security, and overall crime deterrence, officials said.
"We want people to understand that whether or not there's a cop in there, it's fully capable of determining what our needs are at a specific moment in time should we choose," Comey said.
Comey noted that the surveillance tower has been specifically placed in the Hub shopping plaza for its first "patrol," but will be moved strategically around the city.
"We wanted to start here to show the community we hear you, we hear you and we're coming," he said.
In addition to the "Eye in the Sky," the city will swear in 22 new police officers on Friday, bringing the police force to 806 uniformed officers. Fifteen of the new officers are being paid for by a $1.85 million federal grant, while the others are paid for with city dollars.
"Public safety has always been mission No. 1 for us," Healy said.
Three members of the City Council Ward E Councilman and mayoral aspirant Steve Fulop, Councilman at large Rolando Lavarro, and Ward F Councilwoman Diane Coleman questioned the timing of Healy's announcement. Municipal elections will be held in May.
"It was only six months ago that the administration told us that there weren't enough police officers in the department to have foot patrols. What's changed?" Lavarro, a Fulop running mate, said in a statement.
"The mayor is in the middle of a tough re-election campaign and he's desperate to show he's doing something about escalating crime in this city."
Andrea Lewis, who often walks to the Hub shopping plaza to buy groceries for her father, said yesterday she is excited about the new surveillance tower.
"It's been scary walking to the store," said Lewis. "With something like this around they can see if somebody tries to jump me or something."

He is very patient, and a great tutor. Jim knows what I need. I definitely recommend Jim to everyone that needs help with English, reading comprehension, grammar, writing and other English areas.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am a California native, and I work with my students to get them to speak English more like native speakers. Currently I am working with a Vietnamese CEO in Hillsborough. I am very effective in breaking words down and using phonetics to get the student to the correct pronunciations.

Note: For the past several weeks we have had guest writers contributing our weekly column. I would like to thank these writers for sharing their experiences this summer. All three are students at West Virginia Wesleyan College. So thank you to Jason Rock, Nathan Weaver and Grace Rapking.
Food is a pretty amazing thing isn't it? It makes us all equal in one aspect: everyone must eat. It has a huge impact on our lives. We use food in so many ways. We eat for specific moods: we eat to celebrate when we are happy; we eat when we are sad; we eat when we are bored, stressed, lonely or tired. We will eat when we are alone, and we love to eat with others - weddings, funerals, church functions, reunions, dates, a cup of coffee to catch up with a friend or just because. Food brings us together.
Food is an everyday aspect of our lives; but if we stop and think about it, our food touches the lives of many others as well. Most of our produce has several people involved in its production. Food provides us with life, but it also provides others with a livelihood. Food links us together in a chain of its production.
As Christians, food brings us together in one major way: communion. Every so often, whether it's once a week or once a month, we gather to remember in a meal of bread and juice or wine. What occurs to me is that a sort of communion can occur outside of the church building. Jesus even did it before the Last Supper, right in the Gospel of Mark.
Mark 6:41 says, "while they were eating, He took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it He broke it, gave it to them, and said 'Take, this is my body.'"
I love the similarity of the language of the Mark 6 verse and the story of feeding the 5,000. He took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them. Jesus was creating the same atmosphere in both the feeding of the 5,000 and the Last Supper.
Communion is a meal, not to satisfy our physical hunger, but a meal to receive spiritual food.
Yet in another way, the feeding of the 5,000 is similar to communion. The people who followed Jesus and the disciples to this deserted place did so because they expected to get fed. They did not know this miracle was going to happen. They went because they had heard what Jesus had done. They wanted to know what He had to say. Jesus satisfied their spiritual hunger that day. Jesus used this food to create a community among these thousands of people. Food brings people together.
I've witnessed this firsthand this summer at the farmers' market at Community United Methodist Church in Morgantown. While working at a farmers' market, you see people from all walks of life. You see the farmers who believe in selling locally; the people who swear that these "garden-grown" vegetables taste better; the young, hippie sort of people who bring their reusable shopping bags; parents with children; young couples; single moms; college-age kids with piercings and brightly dyed hair; and retired folks - all in the same place. I could sit there and watch them all talking about what they will make with their purchases, exchanging recipes and getting tips from the vendors. Food really does bring people together.
I've also seen it working in food pantries in Preston County. Volunteers build relationships with clients and greet each other like old friends, because they are. They create a community where everyone is helped. They are concerned for the well-being of one other. They have whole conversations, each inquiring about the other's family. They remember each other from month to month. Everyone is on the same level.
As part of my internship this summer, we read a lot. One of the books that really stuck out to me is a book called "Take this Bread" by Sara Miles. Miles is really able to hit home about how communion can and does occur outside the church service. Looking back on her life, she was able to see communion in the meal she shared with a South American family that offered her all they had left to share, and in a hurried meal with her co-workers between shifts while working in a restaurant. But the way communion inspired her to share with others really created a community.
While food may be equal in that we all need to eat, it is very unequal when it comes to how much. Very few of us have just enough to eat. Most of us either have plenty, or not enough. Miles knew this. She had seen those without enough, knew them, had lived with them. So she started a food pantry right around the altar at her church.
She witnessed through this pantry that a community was started. Those who came to receive, those who volunteered - everyone - they all had each other. She did not feel the "power" of being the one helping the "less fortunate," but understood that, in this community, those coming to the pantry helped her as much as she helped them. The food brought them together, and - whether spiritually or physically - they were able to feed each other.
Miles is able to show that we as modern-day Christians can continue to create a community like Jesus did and can share aspects of communion with those around us, all while using something as basic as food.
The feeding of the 5,000 can be one of two things for us. It can be a nice story of Jesus doing His thing and performing miracles, or it can be a challenge to us to continue feeding the thousands. What better way to show others that love of Christ than feeding them when they are hungry?
Whether that means giving someone a can of soup, or showing someone love who is starving for it, we are called to create a community by feeding others.

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (26 August 1743–8 May 1794), the "father of modern chemistry", was a French nobleman prominent in the histories of chemistry and biology. He named oxygen (1778) and hydrogen (1783) and helped construct the metric system, put together the first extensive list of elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature.
Curated Facts
His great accomplishments in chemistry largely stem from the fact that he changed the science from a qualitative to a quantitative one.
Lavoisier showed that all substances can exist in the three stages of matter. However, he believed that these changes in state were the result of fire combing with matter. This "matter of fire" or "caloric" was weightless and combined with solid to form liquid and combined with liquid to form gas.
He eventually concluded that common air was not a simple substance. Instead, he argued, there were two components
Lavoisier devised a set of principles by which chemical compounds could be named by referring to the elements of which they were composed. He published his work in a treatise called Methods of Chemical Nomenclature, in 1787. Lavoisier's approach was so logical and straightforward that it was quickly accepted and remains the basis of naming chemicals to this day.
Lavoisier deduced that the pebbles had been smoothed by agitated water. He named the first kind of sediment pelagic beds, and the second kind of sediment littoral beds.
Lavoisier demonstrated with careful measurements that transmutation of water to earth was not possible, but that the sediment observed from boiling water came from the container. He burnt phosphorus and sulfur in air, and proved that the products weighed more than he original. Nevertheless, the weight gained was lost from the air. Thus he established the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Lavoisier suspected and later proved that the weight increase was a result of the metal combining with air. In 1777 Lavoisier presented his theory that combustion and related processes were reactions in which oxygen combines with other elements in a paper entitled Memoir on Combustion in General.
With his state-of-the-art weighing machine, Lavoisier showed that matter can move around from one form to another, yet it will not burst in and out of existence.
A few years later he married the daughter of another tax farmer, Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze, who was not quite 14 at the time. Madame Lavoisier prepared herself to be her husband's scientific collaborator by learning English to translate the work of British chemists like Joseph Priestley and by studying art and engraving to illustrate Antoine-Laurent's scientific experiments.
it was Lavoisier who discovered the true nature of respiration when he found that it was a process whereby oxygen is taken up by blood in the lungs.
He showed that respiration was a process of combustion, with the utilisation of oxygen and the production of carbon dioxide.
Lavoisier did, however, produce the first table of the elements which contained a large number of substances that modern chemists would agree should be classifies as elements. He published it with the knowledge that further research might succeed decomposing some of the substances listed
Just five years later, he was dead, sent to the guillotine in the Terror of the French Revolution. Clearly his countrymen hated his tax collecting more than they admired his science.
There he equipped a fine laboratory, which attracted young chemists from all over Europe to learn about the "Chemical Revolution" then in progress. He meanwhile succeeded in producing more and better gunpowder by increasing the supply and ensuring the purity of the constituents
Things were easier in Lavoisier's time. To show that respiration is combustion, he once packed a pig in ice and measured the amount of melt water that was produced by body heat.

The key takeaways from the UK's clawback crackdown
Bankers' bonuses paid in the UK next year will be subject to clawbacks for seven years under new rules outlined by regulators.
The new regulations, published in a policy paper by the Prudential Regulatory Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority this morning, follow up on an earlier consultation paper in March. The two bodies also published two joint consultation papers today on strengthening accountability in banks and aligning risk and reward in remuneration structures.
Financial News outlines the key takeaways:
Bonuses will be subject to clawback for longer
The PRA and FCA said in the joint policy paper this morning that variable remuneration will be subject to clawback for an overall period of seven years, up from the six years proposed in March, in cases where evidence emerges of poor risk management.
In the consultation papers published today, the two regulatory bodies also suggest extending the clawback period for senior managers further still to 10 years in certain circumstances.
The new rules in the policy paper also narrow the grounds for clawback by excluding a previously proposal to clawback bonuses if there had been a "material downturn" in financial performance after respondents to the consultation expressed concern over "the potential difficulties of enforcing clawback with the higher burden of proof expected to be required in such cases".
And bonuses might be deferred for longer too
The PRA and FCA are of the view that deferral periods should be longer, suggesting they should be aligned with typical business cycles of five to seven years, or financial and credit cycles, which typically range from eight to 20 years. With that in mind, the PRA and FCA are proposing a minimum deferral period of seven years for senior managers and five years for other material risk takers in the new consultation papers.
The PRA and FCA don't like buy-outs much
The practice of a staff member moving from one firm to another and having the forfeited shares "bought out" by the new employer has the effect of wiping the slate clean for employees, protecting them from the risk their previous employers will reduce the size of the payout.
The consultation papers propose a range of possible approaches to this issue, including banning buy-outs, although the paper concedes this would put banks "at a significant disadvantage when hiring staff".
Other proposals include that unvested awards should be maintained when an employee switches to a new bank, that the concept of "malus" — which refers to where there is evidence of the employee having misbehaved or made material errors — should be applied to bought-out awards, or that there should be no change in the rules in the case of buy-outs.
But they do like certificates
The FCA and PRA are also proposing a new "senior managers regime", which will focus on a narrower number of senior individuals than the current approved persons regime. In addition, the paper proposes a "certification regime", which would see firms required to assess the "fitness and propriety of certain employees who could pose a risk of significant harm to the firm or any of its customers".

His Veggies May Be Vinyl, but They're Earning Harry Fujita Plenty of the Real Leafy Green
Simply send for Harry Fujita, 47, the founder of Iwasaki Images of America and the Picasso of fake foods. Fujita's Torrance, Calif. factory can turn out munchable-looking wax-and-vinyl copies of virtually anything, from 10-course meals to butterscotch ice cream cones complete with polyvinyl chloride driplets. And the creations—whether the lifelike salad dregs reportedly used by Tupperware salespeople to demonstrate capacity or the undrinkably dry martinis (with olive) fancied by nondrinking partygoers—are guaranteed for five years if kept out of sunlight.
Japanese restaurants have long displayed such replica food in their windows, but now American eateries are adopting the gimmick as well. For example, last year the Sizzler Restaurant chain invested some $18,000 in fake desserts for its display cases. "The only trouble we've had," laments Rick Bricker, manager of Sizzler's menu development, "is customers insisting we serve them one of the fake desserts because they look fresher than the real ones." This year Pizza Hut will use Fujita's services in creating sample salad bar displays full of chopped and shredded vinyl veggies at an estimated cost of $2 million.
Such success has brought Fujita a world away from his impoverished childhood in postwar Japan. One of eight children whose lawyer-father died of an undiagnosed disease at 42, Fujita can still remember the days when "mother would call us in to dinner, and there would be one sweet potato or one ear of corn." Orphaned at 13, he was cared for by Seventh Day Adventist missionaries and eventually came to America. After 11 years as an airlines passenger service agent, Fujita finally resolved to "find a way of making the most of what this country has to offer." He wheedled $30,000 in seed money from Iwasaki Company, Ltd. of Japan and in 1975 set about starting an American branch of its replica food business.
Now, with the help of son Franklin, 22, and 42 employees, he annually sells $1.5 million worth of TV props, party favors, cookielike key chains, drumstick kitchen magnets, chocolate bonbon erasers (they smell like candy when rubbed) and other novelty items. His latest concoction is a line of mini-safes disguised as lettuce heads and mayo jars, for hiding cold cash and jewelry in the family fridge. Introduced last year, Fujita has sold more than 12,000 of them at $12 to $15 each.
The secret to Fujita's success, especially with custom-made orders, rests with the Japanese-trained artisans who carefully color the fake cake slices, salamis and other goodies in oil paint. "Our icers frost these cakes with as much finesse as any pastry chef," says Franklin, boasting of the ersatz eats' realistic look. "A banana without bruises is a bad banana. Without those flaws and imperfections, our food would look like that corny plastic fruit put in fruit bowls in the '60s."
As the eldest of Fujita's three children, Franklin admits to having been "brought up with very traditional Japanese values, so I'll probably follow my father's wishes to take over the company someday." In every other way, however, père Fujita seems as American as mock apple pie. "There is all this talk about Japan being superior, but I know both countries," says Franklin's father. "And there's no place like America for making a dream come true."

Monday manifesto: Royal Caribbean's chairman and chief executive is challenging assumptions about holidays on the high seas
It's what we call sticker shock," says Richard D. Fain, trying to flick away, with a deft movement of his hand, the suggestion that cruises are an expensive luxury during a recession. "The fact is, it is good value for money. For the same price, you are not going to have as good a vacation elsewhere. But there is that perception [that it is expensive], so you don't ask.
"And in addition you get sticker shock: we quote you a price for a package, whereas with many vacations you get a quote that really only entails air fare and lodging
