Picks and Pans Main: Song
Spotlight On...
His voice was an almost perfect instrument for the pop songs he performed, as vivid and textured as aspens photographed in morning light. At his best, John Denver soared above his impulse to sentimentalize, and in this recently released album, billed as "his last recordings" and completed little more than a year before his death in October, he revisited many of the tunes that made him one of the most commercially successful singers of the 1970s. While corn was never far from his palette ("Perhaps Love," "I'm Sorry"), Denver also left a store of memorable, tightly crafted tunes like "Leavin' on a Jet Plane," which became a No. 1 hit for Peter, Paul & Mary in 1969, and "Rocky Mountain High," his soaring, 1972 celebration of a city-damaged soul reborn in nature. For these re-recordings, Denver didn't stray far from his original versions, although his tendency toward overwrought optimism does seem tethered at times by a touch of melancholy. It is a feeling old fans may feel as well after hearing this bittersweet collection. (River North)
Various artists
This double album set contains short stories recently published in The New Yorker, read by various actors and, in some cases, the authors themselves. The best matchup is actress Frances McDormand (Fargo, Mississippi Burning, Lone Star) and "People Like That Are the Only People Here," a characteristically perceptive and poignant Lorrie Moore story in which a young mother tries to deal with the discovery that her baby has a malignant tumor.
But it is also engaging to hear John Updike read his own "New York Girl," about a Buffalo, N.Y., salesman's adulterous affair with a New York City divorcée. Ian McEwan reads his intriguing tale of a hot air balloon trip gone awry. And even the often mush-mouthed actor Gabriel Byrne (Miller's Crossing, The Usual Suspects) elocutes crisply while reading Seamus Deane's very Catholic, very Irish tale, "Maths Class." Although those who believe literature should be seen, not heard, will still prefer to eyeball the stories themselves, this album represents an interesting alternative, not to mention a good way of reading while driving or exercising. (Mercury)
The Grateful Dead
Never in their 30-year-plus history were members of the Grateful Dead known for brevity Given to long, free-form improvisational workouts, fine-tuning of instruments between jams and lengthy, onstage discussions about what number to do next, the bandmates were fond of the surreal and watched clocks only to see them melt. Yet on this rarest of nights in 1969, they managed to color inside the time lines, performing two eclectic, shuffling sets in little more than an hour each. The first of two CDs, Early Show includes rhythm and blues standards like "Good Morning Little School Girl" and "I'm a King Bee" while the other, Late Show, features Dead staples such as "St. Stephen" and hypnotic jams titled simply "Drums" and "Feedback." Both showcase the band's great strengths as well as its sometimes laughable weaknesses. With guitarist and group shaman Jerry Garcia at the height of his powers, the band's ensemble work is often mesmerizing; yet on a high-spirited cover of the Beatles' "Hey Jude," cracking, overmatched vocalists Ron "Pigpen" McKernan and Bob Weir sound like they're trying to hail a cab. Culled from the Dead's seemingly fathomless crypt of performance tapes, Fillmore East almost, but not quite, gives fans the one thing they so crave but can never again enjoy—another night of the living Dead. (Grateful Dead Records/Arista)
Chris Stills
A year ago, Chris Stills was lugging the tools of his father's trade from tour bus to stage. Now the 23-year-old son of rocker Stephen Stills has graduated from labors as a roadie for his dad's group, Crosby, Stills & Nash, to wielding his own guitar on this impressive recording debut. Sounding more like the work of a well-traveled musician than a newcomer, this 13-song CD also showcases his gift for writing lyrics that catch in the mind. ("Did you ever hide from the razor blades of time?" he sings on one standout track.) The superb musicians Stills and his producer and collaborating partner Ethan Johns have assembled work in a country-rock-blues idiom familiar to any of his father's fans, who may also do a double take after hearing vocal harmonies hung on a tight, guitar-based wall of sound—just like those of You, Know & Who. But this brash album is no mere exercise in coattail surfing. With it, Chris Stills is carrying on a family tradition, and doing it with aplomb. (Atlantic)
Various artists
While Elton John's vocal and songwriting contributions to the 1994 Lion King film soundtrack helped make the animated feature a huge hit, there was no denying that John's pop-star power overshadowed the fable's inherent Afro-centric themes. To much of the general public, The Lion King's, music boils down to the stirring but slick singles "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." Not so on this far superior and edgier Broadway cast album. Here the songs fit more seamlessly into the flow of the story. That's partly because this time those earlier hits share the spotlight with the haunting songs of South African composer Lebo M. At the same time, John, functioning here more as a songwriter than a star, and lyricist Tim Rice (Evita) have added three terrific new tunes for the stage version.
As realized on this original cast album, The Lion King is a joyously percussive and often deeply moving cultural partnership between Tin Pan Alley and the township of Soweto. And with tickets for the Broadway show being sold as much as a year in advance, this CD is the next best thing to an orchestra seat. (Walt Disney)
>Deborah Gibson
WHEN FANS RECENTLY SPOTTED THE STAR OF BEAUTY AND the Beast dashing into the Broadway theater where the musical is playing, they began shouting, "Debbie! Debbie!" Although the actress's name is clearly spelled out overhead—and in lights yet—as Deborah Gibson, loyalists still remember her affectionately as Debbie, the 16-year-old Long Island, N.Y., high schooler whose bubblegum dreams came true in the late-1980s when she scored two No. 1 pop hits: "Foolish Beat" and "Lost in Your Eyes." Gibson, now 27, says she is glad that people still think of her as that sweet-16 teen. Back in 1990, she says, she had been pushed by record execs into posing for publicity photos in a provocative black leather bustier in order to boost sales of her album, Anything Is Possible. "I literally cried when that happened," she says of the attempted image altering.
These days, Gibson heads her own record label (Espiritu), which released her most recent, aptly titled album, Deborah, last summer. She is also enjoying a second career on Broadway (she has had the role of Belle in the Beauty production since fall) and a third in Hollywood, where she has two low-budget films (My Girlfriend's Boyfriend and Wedding Band with Dom DeLuise) in the can. As for having fallen out of heavy rotation on MTV, the still-unmarried Gibson is philosophical. "I've never had this huge, traumatic, 'Oh my God, my pop career is over' feeling," she says. "I've always looked to artists like Bette Midler and Cher, who have made pop music a part of their overall careers. That's where pop music fits into my life right now."

(Richmond, VA) – Virginia Union University art professor Sukenya Best will display her exhibition "Dancing Ink" in the Main Gallery of Artspace, located at Zero East 4th Street, from January 24th through February 23rd. The imagery for Best's 8 feet by 5 feet monoprints is a combination of dance and print, with recurring symbols of dancing footprints. A live dance performance related to the exhibition will be held during the Opening Reception on January 24th from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Best describes her work as an autobiographical link to her family's history in the Caribbean Islands, New York City, and Central Virginia. The artist received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University and her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Best was recently selected as a "Women in the Arts" 2013 Honoree by Style Weekly. She was recognized with eight other women for elevating Richmond culture. "They are dedicated to their craft and to moving the arts forward in Richmond and beyond," said Style Weekly editors. "We honor these inspiring leaders who have made significant contributions to the vibrant fabric of Richmond's arts and culture."
Gallery hours for Best's Artspace exhibit are Tuesday through Sunday from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

Erie County recycling coordinator chairs state conference in Erie
Don Blakesley will be a busy guy this week.
Blakesley, Erie County's recycling coordinator, will spend much of the week acting as chairman of the Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania's 21st annual conference, which kicks off today at the Bayfront Convention Center.
The event, which could draw as many as 800 attendees, runs through Thursday.
P.R.O.P. is a nonprofit association of recycling professionals dedicated to promoting and enhancing the interests of recycling and composting, according to the organization's website.
The event features seminars on recycling trends; recycling professional certification courses through Penn State Altoona; tours of local recycling sites; and exhibitors displaying the latest industry equipment.
1) Explain what the conference is all about.
It's an annual statewide conference. There will be speakers coming in talking on current topics of interest. There are certification classes for members. There are site tours of local plants -- this year we're going to the Rehrig Pacific plant, where they make recycling bins, and the Millfair compost site, a joint effort between Millcreek and Fairview townships where they take all the leaves, brush and stuff that people put out on the curb and grind it up into compost. There will also be exhibitors with things and products related to recycling and waste reduction.
2) Why was Erie chosen for this year's conference?
They do rotate around the state. Next year the conference is in Lancaster. Last year, it was in State College. We try to move it around.
3) What are the hot issues or trends in recycling right now?
I think it's electronics. People don't associate electronics with hazardous waste, but there are so many chemicals in electronics. They need to be disposed of properly. That's a major push right now on the state's part.
4) In your opinion, do people understand the value of recycling, are they willing to follow through?
What I've learned in the past 15 years is there's 15 or 20 percent of the population who make the extra effort, 20 percent that have no interest in recycling and will never do it, and the majority in the middle who understand it's important and if you make it convenient, they will do it. Convenience is the key ... curbside pickup, things like our recycling convenience center where you can just put the stuff in your car, take it there, and get rid of it.
5) How does Erie County recycle relative to other areas of the state?
I would say Erie County's in the middle. Our recycling rate for last year was 30 percent, both residential and commercial. Some counties are pushing 50 percent. Some are under 20. Every county submits a 10-year (recycling) plan to the state. What we've been concentrating on the past two years is increasing the amount of recycling for hazardous materials, keeping them out of the landfill, and making people more aware through education.

Domination: What do you expect?
He comes from a family who never went to school or had a legit hard working job. The Mayweathers have always took the easy way out, Why work for something when you can cheat for it?
Just look at his dad mom uncle, to them being classy is saying Thank YOu as they rob you.
They dont have the words Ethics or Classy in their dictionary, they dont even care about their own Fathers/Daughters, how do you expect them to care about fans or other people?
They have no concept of Class or Dignity or Respect. They think "Money" will change everything.
Why do you think he was so happy? Because he got out of there the quickest way, he didnt wanna work for it, he said cya punks Im gone until all my cash is gone, then ill come find another sucker.
They are not classy like Klitschko's or even Andre Ward, they are hood rats, no matter the money they posses. You think his kids will grow up educated or smart? No, look who their father is.
They think that they can beat their Wife as long as they buy their kids a phone or gaming device, thats real parenting.
So why you surprised bro?

When Floyd got his balls pushed inside in the Judah fight, he let the scenario play out and decided to continue fighting until the inevitable outcome.
Just about everyone realized Floyd didn't have to continue fighting.
So, how do you supposed he should've reacted when he receives a headbutt, a busted lip, the subsequent pain, and the realization that Ortiz was not disqualified despite Ortiz having been warned once about using the head?

Mayweather vs. Ortiz
Mayweather took the fight after a 16 month layoff.
He beat the sh*t out of Ortiz for nearly 4 full rounds.
Ortiz tried to headbutt him like a coward.
Mayweather knocked his retarded ass out.
Ortiz is a b*tch and was scared into quitting by Mayweather's dominance.

FACTS about Floyd Mayweather Jr.
He is ACTUALLY undefeated, unlike Vitali who has two losses.
There is no blueprint to beat him.
He is a far better fighter than either Klitschko could ever hope to be.
He pisses you off because he is a better fighter than any Klitschko could hope to be.

Lol. For someone who is a disgrace as you claim, he sure as hell is making plenty of money doing so. I sure wish I could be a disgrace to boxing. " Money " Mayweather is the best out there period. Every time Mayweather beats someone they make another excuse as to why he won. Just face it, the guy is damn good. I dont know if he'll ever fight ***man. But if he does and he beats the **** out of him like he did everyone else, what's the excuse then?

While it's still a mystery who she'll be paired with on season 12 of Dancing With the Stars, two-time champ Cheryl Burke tells PEOPLE one thing she's certain of is finding a perfect match in her personal life.
"I am so ready for love," Burke told PEOPLE at the Open Hearts Foundation Inaugural Celebration at actress Jane Seymour's Malibu estate. "I have a feeling it will happen soon."
Past relationships "have always gone from 0 to 60," Burke, 26, says. "It goes from 'nice to meet you' and then he's my boyfriend, we talk about kids and marriage, and then we break up six days later. I can't wait to meet the guy that I take things slow with. I can't wait to go on a first date for the first time in my life."
And if things don't go as she hopes they will, Burke jokes she could always follow in the footsteps of her fellow Dancing pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who stars in a Ukrainian version of The Bachelor.
"I could be the Filipino Bachelorette," says Burke, who watched the promo for her colleague's upcoming show and feels it's a perfect fit for him. "It's all about Maks. That's the best kind of show for him."

I adore women that love cock,I love to share my gf and see her fucked by many cocks,she takes it up her arse when she gets really horny,best feeling is fucking her when she has been filled by cum...its really hot and wet and I love pumping my load in to finish the session.
she is a gorgeous, very hot wonderful slut and I wish she was my wife; lucky bugger; would love to see my wife doing what this sexy creature does; would love to lick her clean and share all the cum with her, wrapping our cum covered tongues together then fucking her like crazy; wonderful.
My wife freaked out the first time I took her to an adult theater and now she loves all the cock she gets and I love getting things started then watching her have her fun. MANY a night she comes out covered. We've enjoyed this coast to coast.

Harry - Does your wife walk out through the adult book store with cum dripping off her. Do you jack off on her as she sucks thru the glory hole?
XXX Theaters are such a treat but I would never take my wife there. When I'm out of town and have the day to kill, I douche and lube my ass and spend a good half day taking random anonymous condom wrapped cocks in an XXX theater. I've had up to 8 hard cocks fuck me in an afternoon in a XXX theater. I have no shame about it. Once a cock starts fucking me a few guys gather round and I pick the next to go. If I see to a guy sucking a cock, I stand next to them and pull my pants down.

Skip to comments.Who granted Boehner a ten year term?
Posted on 07/23/2011 5:12:06 PM PDT by JimWayne
Can someone please explain what authority Boehner has to determine the budgets of future governments? Has he been granted a TEN YEAR term to the House of Representatives? He keeps talking of cutting spending in ten years time. Clearly, he was not voted for a ten year period. He needs to prepare the budget for his term, not for all eternity.
Are you sure it wasn't Boehner saying that any offer of cutting spending over ten years was bogus because no future congress can be bound by the actions of a previous congress?
The whole point was that both Reagan and GHWB were, in their turn, skunked by tax-hiking, spending-reduction deals where the tax hikes went right through but the spending reductions were laughed off.
He's a RINO but are you saying a politician can't plan for more than six years down the road? Sort of limiting, isn't it?
They have to make it appear that theyre doing something significant. Oddly, nobody in the public is fooled. We all understand that the only cuts are cuts to the scheduled increases of this years budget.
You see, there are a few suckers here who think a 10 Cut plans sounds reasonable. But history tells a different story. Reagan was promised cuts that never happened, Bush1 Promised cuts that never happened. Bush 2 Never made any cuts, even though the GOP held all three branches of Govt.
In addition, look at the recent CR deal that was supposed to deliver 36 Billion in cuts and only delivered @350 Million in real cuts.
Plus future DC hacks are not bound by Boneheads deal.

This "10 year plan stuff is utter nonsense!" I'm surprised no on questions it.
What is "agreed on" today means nothing - Obama can, and will, probably ignore or radically change any "deal." In addition, this Congress only has 1+ year more, and then a new one begins, with its own members and plans. Whatever they "agree to" for 10 years now is just sheer show and fantasy.
Hes a RINO but are you saying a politician cant plan for more than six years down the road?
Actually, no, they cant. Each years budget is that years budget. It mostly continues to fund what was funded last year. The rest of it is Christmas shopping for powerful constituencies. Pork. They can say, this project is funded for 10 years; F-35 procurement, for example. But the budget for that procurement is approved on a year-by-year basis. The only planning is: was it in there last year? Did they send us a campaign check? Okay, fund it this year too.
You are correct. No agreement to bind a future congress to cutting is enforceable. But any tax increase continues until a future congress passes a bill through both houses, and the President signs. Similarly, debt incurred today will need to be paid in the future.
He can't plan past 2012. They can't make a future Congress do anything.
And if he caves he is going to feel the heat in 2012.
It is how it is scored by doing a 10 year scoring... if you pass a budget with certain cuts then you track that out over 10 years to see how it would work out... pretty straight forward so I'm not sure why you are so amped up about it... next year they can come in and make a new budget that wipes out this years... that is how it is.
It works that way because he realizes people like me in their 50's will have a hard time remembering him in 10 years.
Though it's certainly a sign of leadership to have a long term plan, these days it is imperative to show progress in the 2012 FY.
WHO IN THE HELL Foisted this doddering cry baby and RINO on us?? They NEED Punished,severely!
Bohner has as much say over the next congress as Pelosi has over this congress.
That is why I was so disappointed with the continuing resolution with $358million in cuts and the Ryan plan that balances the budget sometime around 2035.
So far, these arguments in DC are over next to nothing of any meaning.
This is the one thing I do not like about FR.
The blatant racism that tries to be passed off as politics.
Every time Boehner tries to make a sensible argument, he is attacked by people here, just because of his skin color.
If he was white, everyone here would be applauding him.
What the sam hill are you talking about??
So true. If you think anything meaningful is going to come out of this Congress prepare for disappointment. We are on our way to credit downgrade no matter what transpires.
Bonehead is a butt head. This ten year plan only cuts 370 billion a year which will never happen. Workarounds will nultify it and the debt will just go on. Not to mention the rest of the stupid plan in the works. The balance budget will never be law because it will never get the States to pass and will be years down the road just to find out it failed. These Washington nitwits are totally worthless.
House members, including the speaker, are elected every two years, senators have 6 year terms.
I think you are correct. As I recall, fiscal years begin in October so the current Congress would/could set the budget and allocate funding for FY13. That would begin in October 2012, a few months before the new Congress, elected in November 2012, is seated.
It needs to be cut more than $15 trillion over the next ten years.
WOOOHOOOO! HOORAY Jim Wayne! (nice take)
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign AND domestic. NOW!
OUTSTANDING thread!
Promising to cut expenditures in the future is nothing more than junkie talk. Heritage Foundation economist JD Foster explains that a promise to cut spending is nothing more than a promise:
When discretionary spending totals are cut immediately, thats a spending cut. Such cuts are demonstrably not pie in the sky, so its fine to tally the effects over the next ten years.
Similarly, when entitlement programs are altered in law, thats a spending cut. Again, its perfectly appropriate to add up the resultant budgetary ramifications for a reasonable period to give some context for budgeteers.
But even statutory spending caps, necessary and beneficial though they would be, are ultimately only promises to cut spending, unless they are backed by inescapable, automatic cuts if the caps are breached. Just about everything else is only a promise, and Washington breaks promises with breathtaking regularity.
No kidding! Ya think?
C'mon man! That P.C. B.S. only goes so far. I know that we're all really the same and all that, but I can't stand it when someone tries to pretend that you can't tell that Boehner is orange!
Grow a pair man and say it like it is!
Do I need.../s
1. Yes
2. We believe in limited government.
It's not his race people don't like, it's the fact that people think he's Muslim. The only thing worse than that would be if he were a Catholic. /sarc
No matter what Boehner does it seems like there's a crowd ready to slam him without so much as skipping a beat from the last line of dung that was posted. First predicting how he'd fold as soon as President Jello walked into the room. Then, there was the series of posts about how he'd never pass the CCB and send it to the Senate. Then there was how he'd never stick to the CCB once the Senate shot it down. Now, it's about why is he looking ten years out.
Fine, then don't talk about what the deficit he can deal with is other than the deficit between now and October. After that he can make a new budget and deal with the next year. You can't have it both ways and pretend that SS and the other stuff is a single year issue, that's dividing the issues exactly the way the democrat fascist party always tries to, deal with some little things "for now" and work on the big issues after some commission meets or after blah, blah, blah. Divide and conquor, that's the ticket, whatever Boehner does, change the topic to come up with some other measure to use so you can keep saying he's no good.
So far he's made Mr Jello look like that infant he really is, gotten the RATS to start backpeddling on when the deadline for catastrophe is, forget the bunk about not paying SS because Barry knew Boehner wasn't falling for it, and now Boehner is too big for his britches. Perfect democrat technique.
Who gave Pelosi and her Democrats the right to start Obamacare in 2013?
Any discussions about the budget extending past 2012 are worthless and meaningless.
The only items that can be considered authentic and that will possibly have any actual impact are those that are immediate and specific.
The rest is the same kind of lying double-talk that typifies almost everything politicians say or do.
You can start a program at a certain date.You can't say that Congress can never repeal it.
You can't force a congress in 2014 to implement a Trillion dollar cut.
" The problem is partly legal, partly political. Courts have long held that Congress cannot "bind" future Congressesthat is, it can't force a future session of Congress to carry on its own policies. That practice, formally known as "legislative entrenchment," is seen as privileging one group of lawmakers over another, "binding" future to the priorities set in the present"
"If [Boehner] was white, everyone here would be applauding him."
That was very funny. A good laugh is essential now and then, especially with all these DC shenanigans going on. Thanks!
"You are correct. No agreement to bind a future congress to cutting is enforceable. But any tax increase continues until a future congress passes a bill through both houses, and the President signs. Similarly, debt incurred today will need to be paid in the future."
Outstanding post and most succintly put. Why can't just one of our guys put it this way when some talking head on national TV gives them the opening?
That's why 0's in such a hurry to get the funding underway. He knows that the next congress could just as easily pull the plug on his obamacare as it could fund it. He wants to have a ton of money already invested in the monstrosity in hopes that that may cause the next congress to go along.
That's why we need MORE real conservatives to land in D.C in January of 2013 practicing their mantra-FUBO!
Thanks. It just seemed like a slow news night.
Thanks. It just seemed like a slow news night.
This is nothing new Congress and presidents have been using those paper games for a very long time to pretend to make cuts that they really have no control or power to actually bring about. Even immediate "cuts" voted in are only valid if they are carried out, and not somehow funded in another way and/or need really cut in the first place.
Clinton's supposed "balanced budget" that was much vaunted for creating a surplus never actually came to be beyond the paper it was printed on. How? by kicking the cuts down the road.
You see - what it comes down too - by pushing scheduled cuts out to other administrations, to other Congresses, to other people's shoulders - it is a form of "passing the buck". You can say you scheduled all sorts of cuts. That is how they can lay claim to making Trillions in cuts to spending... so what if the only REAL cuts (those that happen in the short-term) are minuscule - they CLAIM those big numbers for political reasons. It is a way of playing "wag the dog".
The only thing that matters right now is... right now. That is why even Boehner is talking about including a raising of the debt limit in the negotiations. With any meaningful cuts, such a raising of the nation's credit line would be completely unnecessary. This is the key, in my mind, to seeing through the smokescreen on BOTH sides. By playing this game, we are just continuing on the rail to the Greek problem. Raising the debt limit is proof that none of the politicians are serious about cutting spending NOW.
At the same time, it is true that what one Congress passes is not binding on a future Congress.
But the ten-year budget plan provides a baseline for planning purposes.
It's good policy.
It is called satire.
Good one! "Racism" raises its ugly head again,this time before zero could claim it!! LOLOL!!!
You are correct. No agreement to bind a future congress to cutting is enforceable. But any tax increase continues until a future congress passes a bill through both houses, and the President signs. Similarly, debt incurred today will need to be paid in the future.
A Constitutional Amendment sure is binding.
"The only thing worse than that would be if he were a Catholic. /sarc"
The way he smokes and drinks, I thought he was a Catholic./No sarcasm.
"The only thing worse than that would be if he were a Catholic. /sarc"
The way he smokes and drinks, I thought he was a Catholic./No sarcasm.
More binding than one congress "promising" to cut future spending, but if a Constitutional Amendment to Balance the Budget is what you are referring to, that says nothing about lowering Federal spending. Anyway, contitutional amendments aren't all that binding on the future either. 18th amendment only lasted 14 years before it was reversed.
Silly goose, the joke's on you. The future years spending "reductions" won't happen. It is all just for your entertainment.

Tangradi "The Big Dog" was ready to eat but couldn't put one home. Bigger fish to fry. Playoff matchups: All eyes on San Jose. NHL fan sentiments around the league kept pointing to Nashville as a team they wouldn't want to see in the playoffs. Whatever that means. Good to see the Kings in the playoffs. We don't even know. Jesus. Jose Theodore drama. Devils went 1-4-1 against the Flyers this season. Maybe the last team the Devils wanted to see in the first round. Very interesting. Makes you wish they still played in The Aud and Boston Garden. Atlantic Division claims 4 playoff spots again.

In my father's sketchbook
The Tea Lounge of 7th Ave and 10th St. Park Slope lost it's lease last year. Before that I spent many hours at coffee and drawing the other costumers. The work I did there serves as a record of what was for me a refuge and a place of a kind of artistic muse. Here is the first offering of some of the things I did there.
My Dad's sketchbook
My dad was very artsy-craftsy. He bound this book for sketching. After he passed away I found it. It only had two drawings in it. He was always doing stuff like this, he'd create something for making art and then do very little with it. I wanted to fill it with drawings. I felt would realize the sketcbook's original intent and complete it. It would also create a connection between our generations in art. In the coming days I will be showing some of the work I've done in it.
i don't know what these images are. The top on looks like scenes I saw in Pananma. I know he had been there earlier in 193?
The other looks like cababas at some vacation spot. His father taught typography at the New York High School of Industrial Arts, now Laguardia. Anyway summers were free to do this kind of thing.

Tampa Bay Rays 5, Texas Rangers 2
Bad baserunning, a lack of hitting and sub par pitching conspired to end the Rangers' 2013 season last night. The Rangers called on rookie lefty Martin Perez to start last night's game and it didn't go too well. He worked 5 1/3 innings in which he allowed 4 hits, 2 walks, 3 runs (all earned) and he whiffed 5 batters. He was the losing pitcher. Alexi Ogando followed Perez into the game for the Rangers and he brought in a huge gas can. He worked 2/3 of an inning in which he gave up 2 hits, 2 walks and 1 run (it was earned). Jason Frasor and Joakim Soria worked a scoreless 7th inning for the Rangers. Neal Cotts threw a shutout 8th inning. Tanner Schneppers gave up an unearned run in the 9th inning, due to an error trying to throw out Sam Fuld, who was stealing 3B. Ian Kinsler and Elvis Andrus both got caught stealing (actually they were picked off by David Price) last night. Kinsler led the way offensively for the Rangers last night as he was 2 for 4 with a double and 1 RBI. Alex Rios (1 for 4 with 1 RBI), Elvis Andrus (1 for 3 with 1 run scored and 1 stolen base) and Craig Gentry (1 for 3 with 1 run scored) also pitched in for the Rangers offensively last night.

i felt the same way when i started stronglifts; workouts were just too short and too easy. it won't be like that for long. the weight increases for each workout will be noticeable soon enough, and you could probably skip a few weeks if you're familiar with the exercises and comfortable with starting a bit higher.
it's been a while, but if i recall correctly, those early weeks are a time to learn the movements and really focus on form. if you want more of a workout when you're done, do it. pull ups and pushups used to be part of the program, just tacked on at the end...you could just do something like that.

PLUMSTEAD — About a year ago, Karen Gross left her boyfriend's house, unsettled about the relationship, afraid she would be hurt if she allowed herself to fall in love.
On the way home, she stopped in a parking lot, grabbed some notepaper and started writing.
"Want to see the pages?" she said, rummaging through the piano bench at her family home. "I keep everything like a pack rat."
The neatly handwritten words connected by squiggles and arrows came together as "Break Up With Me, Baby," the third track on her debut CD, Navigating, which was released this month.

We present ultraviolet photometry for a sample of morphologically early-type galaxies selected by matching the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 with the GALEX Medium and All-Sky Imaging Surveys. We obtain a working sample of red sequence galaxies with GALEX detections, SDSS spectroscopy, and z<0.2. The SDSS spectra are used to identify galaxies with even weak star formation or evidence of AGN activity. A further selection gives us a sample of ``old, red, and dead'' galaxies which we use to search for correlations between UV flux and line strength indices such as Lick Mg2 and D4000, as well as stellar velocity dispersion. We find no correlation between these properties and far UV flux. We consider additionally how the red sequence is characterized by the GALEX surveys.

Sometimes people ask whether it is possible to win the lottery by using creative visualization.
There are millions of people who desire to win the lottery. Some spend more time thinking about winning, while others just pay for a ticket and don't spend too much time thinking about it. Some visualize their number winning, while others just visualize winning, without referring to a particular ticket number.
There is just one big prize in each draw, so usually, only one person can win it.
This means that if you want to influence the winning number with the power of your thoughts, this power has to be stronger than the combined power of thoughts of all the millions of people that are expecting to win. This is quite impossible, unless you possess tremendous powers of concentration.
Usually, the mental energy you put forth through visualization is neutralized by the thoughts of all the other millions of people, all desiring and expecting to win. Under such circumstances, it is quite unreasonable to believe that you can influence the winning number.

HONOLULU (AP) - The Honolulu Zoo said one of its chimpanzees died.
The zoo says 18-year-old Kealoha - also known as Kea - died early Friday morning.
The zoo is looking into the cause of death.
Kealoha started appearing lethargic this week. He was admitted to the zoo's veterinary clinic on Tuesday but didn't respond to medication.
His parents, Roscoe and Kumi, and older brother Kibale are still living. The zoo said its staff are allowing his survivors to express their loss and display appropriate grieving behaviors.
The zoo is home to eight chimpanzees.

A 2012 engineering inspection report reveals 2018 may not be soon enough for the delivery of a new Champlain Bridge.
The document obtained by La Presse through Access to Information, outlines many concerns and recommendations. Among them: deteriorating pillars, a high risk of concrete splitting; and cables and joints that need to be replaced.
"We cannot overlook delamination or problems that occur in the expansion joints, or in any part of the structure. These are critical segments and the report is clear that it needs to be done today," Hellen Christodoulou, Quebec regional director for the Canadian Institute of steel construction, said.
Christodoulou says Quebec is dealing with what happens when structures are not inspected on a regular basis.
"The damage has reached a point where the expenditure is too high, so we are stuck with an infrastructure problem. But there are problems with bridges across Canada."
The Champlain Bridge Corporation says the bridge structure itself is not at risk and a new bridge should be ready for 2018. In the meantime, maintenance work will continue.

Blues Add Kent Huskins
photo © 2010 Dan4th Nicholas | more info )
According to the team's official site, the St. Louis Blues have signed defenseman Kent Huskins to a one-year, $1 million deal. The move adds additional depth at the blueline for the Blues and brings additional physicality to the defense.
Listed at 6'4″ and 210 pounds, size isn't something this new acquisition is lacking.
Huskins broke into the league with the Anaheim Ducks, skating with them in the 2006-07, 2007-08 and the 2008-09 seasons. He then joined the San Jose Sharks and has skated with them in each of the previous two seasons.
Huskins is a defensive-minded defenseman. That may sound like a bit of an oxymoron, but the modern game has really focused on defenseman that have a mind for offense, which often leaves their defensive abilities up for debate. Through 274 career regular season games, Huskins has notched just 11 goals and 49 assists for a total of 60 points.
Last year he completed the season with a modest 10 points, but added a +8 plus/minus rating – his fourth consecutive season with a positive rating.
This move isn't one that will bring fans to the stadium nor is it one that will get people clamoring on Twitter, but it, like the Brian Elliott move, does fill a void the team needed to fill. Huskins is a left-handed shot and the Blues were searching for a new lefty d-man.

The Chow of Champions
For Olympians on the Fast Track, Fast Food Is Just a Fond Memory. Setting the Training Table Is No Longer a Picnic but a Fiercely Disciplined Science
THE OLYMPIC YEAR WAS 1968; THE place, Mexico City. On the night before opening ceremonies—the eve of perhaps the most important two weeks in his life—U.S. high jumper Dick Fosbury, 21, was, frankly, partying. In fact, partying hard with two teammates, javelin thrower Gary Stenlund and swimmer Cynthia Goyette, plus pal Donna De Varona (a swimming gold medalist in '64 turned ABC sports announcer). The four hopped into Stenlund's VW bus and made their way out of the city to the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacàn guided by the glow of the Olympic torch, enthroned there for its dramatic descent to the stadium the next morning. "We stayed out there all night," recalls Fosbury. "People were cooking soup over campfires and yelling, 'Hey, Gringo! Come have some soup!' We shared their food and drank beer and crashed out in the van or slept in the pyramids—I don't really remember. The next morning, we got caught in this incredible traffic jam and missed the opening ceremony. But that night at the pyramids, I'll always remember it. It was wonderful."
Back then, the Olympics really were anything-goes games rather than winning-is-the-only-thing game plans with seven-figure commercial contracts at stake. Wine and Mexican beer were on tap in the Olympic Village (alcohol is not served there any longer), and despite his night of carousing, Fosbury went on to take the gold. But today eating, like every other aspect of preparation, requires phenomenal dedication. Many U.S. teams and even some individual athletes have their own nutritionists.
Dominique Moceanu, 14, a California-born daughter of Rumanian immigrants, is mending from a mid-June stress fracture of her leg but still hopes to fulfill the great expectations predicted for her: America's first gymnastics gold since Mary Lou Retton in '84. She works uncomplainingly under the rigid eight-hour-a-day regimen of Bela Karolyi, 53, who trained Retton and (before coming over from Rumania himself) Nadia Comaneci. On the day of a competition, Karolyi allows his entrants a lunch of a four-ounce chicken breast and half cups of steamed broccoli and white rice—spartan gruel compared with the caviar (preferably red) Olga Korbut stoked up on in the early '70s. "This was a Russian trade secret," says Korbut. "Caviar is very high protein. Every morning, I ate a big bowl of it, lots and lots of caviar." But her coach, Renald Kynch, did put her on a one-step program to kick another craving. One day, he presented her with a huge cake and told her to eat that—and nothing else—for the next three days. The reprogramming worked—it was years before Korbut could even nibble cake again.
At the other end of the scale, weightlifter Mark Henry, of Silsbee, Texas, has been under the expert supervision since high school of two kinesiology professors from the University of Texas at Austin: Terry Todd, 58, a national weightlifting champ in the '60s, and his wife, Jan Todd, 44, a former world-record holder in powerlifting. Eight weeks before Atlanta, they took Henry to their island redoubt off the coast of Nova Scotia to eat organic produce from their own garden, their own fresh catch of the day plus locally bred organic beef. The ambience, explains Terry Todd, is "nutritionally healthier than Texas."
When these and other Olympic athletes recite their vital stats, they include percentage of body fat, cholesterol levels and daily consumption (in precise grams) of protein and fat. "Eating is like a chore," says wrestler Matt Ghaffari, 34, of Colorado Springs, who is fed five or six balanced meals a day, all high in protein and carbs. So far, Ghaffari has gained 36 pounds to reach the 286-pound maximum for the heavyweight class, while reducing his body fat from 27 percent to 19.5 percent. He also scarfs down 30 vitamins and supplements a day at a monthly cost of $180 and is dubbed Mr. Pharmacy by teammates.
Marathoner Anne Marie Lauck, 27, of Marietta, Ga., says that for long-distance runners, monitoring body fat is far more important than counting calories because a single superfluous pound of fat (instead of muscle) can add fatal minutes to her time. Lauck, who stands 5'6½", reports that her weight (fluctuating between 107 and 112) contains only about 8 percent fat, compared with about 20 percent for the average woman of her size and age.
Angel Martino of Americus, Ga., at 29 the oldest member of the women's swimming team, shudders when she recalls the diet of her rookie days, which included scads of Big Macs, milk shakes and fries. Now under the tutelage of her husband, Mike, 30, an exercise physiologist, she breakfasts at dawn with a mix of cottage cheese, nuts and green apples, and lunches on tuna sandwiches (with low-fat mayo on whole wheat). Dinner is chicken or fish and vegetables. Martino confesses that as much as she longs for a medal, she also dreams of the time when it's all over: "I'm going to have chocolate chip cookies every single day for the rest of my life."
For athletes competing in specific weight classes, hell is the few weeks preceding the weigh-in, generally held the day before the opening match. Mujaahid Maynard, 25, of Colorado Springs, wrestles in the 105.5-pound division, although at 5'6", his normal weight is 132 pounds. During the season, he drops easily to 123 and then skimps, taking in only a protein shake for lunch, a mini-dinner and jugs of water and juice. When he reaches 116, Maynard really cuts back: to just a daily small chicken breast and rice or noodles and only enough water to replace lost fluids. Finally, during the day between making the official weight and his bout, Maynard rehydrates like crazy and gorges on pasta in four meals a night, sometimes setting an alarm at 2 a.m. so he won't miss a chance to rebound to his fighting weight of 118-120 pounds. "I know this isn't healthy, letting your weight bounce up and down," he admits. "But it's a temporary thing."
Needless to say, eating disorders can be a serious problem for jocks. Judo contender Liliko Ogasawara, 24, of San Jose, binged and purged for years. "I felt like crap," she recalls. "I looked very pale. I'd walk around like a zombie." In extremis after trying every other technique to make weight, she would move on to "systematic spitting." "You'd chew gum to get your saliva going, and then you'd try to fill a cup. It's really gross. But you can move a good half pound that way." In '92 she so depleted herself that she lost in the U.S. team trials; then after another athlete suffering from eating difficulties went into convulsions at the start of the competition, Ogasawara was shocked into modifying her habits. This year, on a rounded regimen and moving up 11 pounds to the 145-pound class, Ogasawara has a good shot at judo gold.
Judy Nelson, 52, who has a master's degree in nutrition from Cal State, Long Beach, is nutritional coordinator for the U.S. Olympic Committee based at Colorado Springs and serves teams training throughout the country. She doesn't have authority to enforce a dietary routine but reports some success by encouraging athletes to keep a food journal: They detail what they ate, how they felt and how they performed and then study the entries for patterns. Most athletes in training need 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of their body weight, Nelson says. The number of calories depends on the individual and the sport, from a minimum of 1,200 to 1,400 to as much as 7,000 for weightlifters. "The more muscle you have, the more calories you need," she says. Although her office shelves are full of high-protein drinks and energy-boosting supplements, Nelson says she isn't a big fan of these products (most were given to her by visiting sales reps). "There's just this notion among a lot of athletes that they want to take a lot of supplements—some magic bullet—vitamins, minerals, herbs and other ergogenic aids that, most of the time, don't have any [proven] effect," she says.
Athletes have to be especially careful about what they consume just before the main event. Even Adam Saathoff, 21, of Hereford, Ariz., who needn't follow a strict diet training for his nonaerobic sport of moving-target shooting, has to fast the last 12 hours before shouldering his rifle, because "you don't want to be up there burping." Lisa Leslie, 24, of Ingle-wood, Calif., abstains from some foods "because they have things that could make us test positive for drugs," like poppy seeds, which could falsely suggest opium use. The star, slam-dunking 6'5" center on the U.S. women's basketball team is actually underweight at 170 pounds and scarfs down extra carbs before games for energy. But, after Atlanta, she faces another world of eating extremes in her other career: On the fashion runway since age 10 (she hit six feet in sixth grade), Leslie has just signed a modeling contract with New York City's prestigious Wilhelmina agency. Leslie hopes she will not be asked to stop lifting weights, which she calls both "the key to our success on the court" and a regimen for all-around fitness and firm (though not unfeminine) good looks.
While today's athletes are better tuned nutritionally, they could still learn from stars of yore like Steve Fraser, 38, head coach now of the Greco-Roman wrestling team. "If you're not enjoying something, you're not going to do that great," says Fraser, a gold medalist at 198 pounds in Los Angeles. But he doesn't necessarily endorse the old Fosbury approach. "Only when you're coaching," jokes Fraser, "is beer good."

Could Inflammation of Ovarian Cells be the Cause of Ovarian Cancer?
Project Summary
For some time, scientists have believed that ovarian cancer arises because of ovulation and from levels of a pituitary hormone called gonadotropin acting on the epithelial cells on the surface of the ovary. But it remains unclear what the causes really are. Recent research suggests that inflammation of the ovarian epithelial cells might lead to ovarian cancer. Ways to study inflammation's impact on epithelial cells, however, have been limited by available research models. Recently, Dr. Kwong has developed a 3-D tissue culture model that allows him to study ovarian epithelial cells in a way that mimics cells in the body. In his project, he will use the model to test how inflammation-related factors, such as TNF-α, act on epithelial cells to cause them to become cancerous. He will focus on a protein called ELF-3, levels of which increase after the cells are exposed to TNF-α. Findings could lead to new markers for early detection and new targets for drugs to stop the inflammatory process.
early detection of the disease, ultimately benefiting the strategies for treatment and chemoprevention of ovarian cancer.
The five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer has increased by only 8% in the last 30 years.
We are at a critical crossroads for supporting research into unlocking the mysteries of ovarian cancer. You can make a difference by supporting the research of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

When Kelsey Sekanick first arrived at Notre Dame in fall 2010, she, like all other incoming female freshmen who weren't entering the university as collegiate athletes, received a letter from assistant rowing coach Marnine Stahl.
The letter stated that the Fighting Irish rowing program was looking for "tall, athletic girls" who wished to be a part of a team experience, and it invited anyone to come to a meeting about the team. Sekanick, a three-time district qualifying swimmer while at Howland High School, decided to head to the meeting.
After listening to the usual spiel from the coach, Sekanick watched a video about the program that left an impression.
"There were two things that stood out for me," Sekanick said. "There were several clips of camaraderie of the athletes, and coming into a new situation, it was very appealing because I didn't know anybody else at Notre Dame at that point. Also, I fell in love with the beauty of the sport. It's really a beautiful sport to watch, and I wanted to be a part of it."
Three-and-a-half years later, attending that meeting proved to be the right decision for Sekanick. She has since earned two monograms (the rowing equivalent of a varsity letter) and is looking to participate in the NCAA Championships for the third time in her career.
With a 55-member squad consisting of half scholarship athletes and half walk-ons, Sekanick's success throughout her career isn't uncommon, according to assistant coach Joe Schlosberg.
"I think Kelsey's always been just kind of a fiery athlete, and she definitely enjoys competing," said Schlosberg, who himself was a walk-on at Northwestern University from 1996-1999. "She's aggressive, she's not afraid to go out there and throw down a really fast time. As she's finishing up her four years here, she's somebody who we can trust in a boat and know that she has a savvy about her in terms of her race ability."
It wasn't an easy transition from the swimming pool to the boat, although it wasn't exactly her fault. Sekanick learned the rowing stroke and put in the effort at workouts, but the 5-foot-9 Girard native wasn't recovering well after said workouts and didn't show too much improvement.
Concerned about her struggles, the staff decided to run some tests toward the end of the year. It turned out that she was iron-deficient, which explained why Sekanick didn't recover well.
"Iron was one of those things that we could adjust," Schlosberg said. "We kind of got her on a level playing field with everyone else. We added the ability that she could recover and get faster, and she kind of just took off."
With that out of the way, she pushed herself onto one of three boats that competed in the NCAA Championship by her sophomore year - the first four boat, which consists of four rowers and a coxswain (a member who steers the boat and coordinates the power and rhythm of the rowers).
As a member of the first four, her boat finished eighth out of 16 at the NCAA finals that spring.
While participating in the NCAA races the past two seasons were special to Sekanick, another race early her junior year was just as memorable. On Oct. 20-21, 2012, Sekanick took part in the Head of the Charles Regatta in Cambridge, Mass., the world's largest two-day regatta with around 9,000 athletes participating in 61 events.
Sekanick and her teammates finished 11th out of 20 boats in the women's championship fours race, traveling the 5,000 meters in a time of 20:09.96.
"Honestly, that had to be one of the most interesting experiences for me as a rower," Sekanick said. "Rowing is not a huge sport, especially in Youngstown - a lot of people have no idea about it - but going to a place where there is so much attention focused on rowing for three days is absolutely amazing."
Heading into this season, Notre Dame was ranked the highest in program history at No. 9 in the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association poll in the preseason, and the Irish have dropped one spot to No. 10 since then. Sekanick's boat, the first four, is ranked third in the South, based on the regional rankings on the NCAA's website.
Sekanick said the team should live up to these expectations at the NCAA Championship on May 30 to June 1 in Indianapolis.
"It's very exciting because I think this is the highest we've been ranked coming into a season since the beginning of the program," Sekanick said. "I think there's high expectations on us, but I think our team should live up to the expectations and I'm excited to see how we all perform at NCAA (Championship)."
No matter the outcome at season's end, Sekanick said she knows she made the right choice by going to that meeting back in fall 2010.
"I've made some very, very great friends on this team," Sekanick said. "It's a huge team, but it's absolutely great to know all of them and I know they'll always have my back. I know that some of these girls will be my best friends for the rest of my life."

MORGANTOWN?- After two poor showings against Texas during the regular season, West Virginia will get a crack at redemption tonight in Big 12 Conference quarterfinal action.
Game time is set for 9:30 p.m. at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. The action will be televised locally on WVFX.
"We've got a lot of incentive because we've played two of probably our worst games of the year against Texas," Mountaineer point guard and All-Big 12 Conference first-team selection Juwan Staten said. "That definitely has us thinking we're due for a good game against them. We've played as badly as we could have played in the first two. We're due for a good one."

West Virginia's Juwan Staten drives to the basket during Saturday's win over Kansas. The Mountaineers will face Texas at 9:30 p.m. today in quarterfinal action of the Big 12 Conference tournament.
WVU (17-14) will look to keep the momentum from Saturday's win over Kansas into postseason play.
But to get past the Longhorns, the Mountaineers will have to keep Texas' inside game in check. Cameron Ridley, a 6-foot-9 forward, has averaged nearly 15 points and 10 rebounds in the Longhorns' two wins over WVU this season, while Jonathan Holmes, a 6-foot-8 post player, leads the team in scoring with 13.2 ppg.
"We're going to probably try to do some things schematically that are a little bit different from what we did the first couple games," Mountaineer coach Bob Huggins said.
WVU will counter with Staten and sophomore guards Eron Harris and Terry Henderson, who returned against Kansas after being out with an undisclosed illness.

Venue & Date: University of Edinburgh, 4-5 September 2014, Proposals due 16 June 2014
In recent years, information overload has become a popular term to describe the psychological, emotional and physical consequences of living in a culture defined by the increasing density of data and reach of communication technologies. We invite contributions for a two-day conference exploring the reverberations of this bloom of data in cultural, artistic and academic practice. Aiming to trace an aesthetics of information overload, this event seeks to analyse how different environments and their consequent effects, both real and projected, public and personal, have engendered artistic forms. We encourage participants to experiment with a range of presentational formats, testing new ways of sharing information as well as discussing its conceptual ramifications.
The conference aims to prompt conversations between new and perhaps unexpected perspectives on contemporary art, literature, media and culture, opening discussion to a wide range of disciplines, approaches and theoretical frameworks. How have authors and artists interrogated information overload, diagnosed its symptoms and hypothesised its cure? Are there benefits to conceptual overload? What aesthetic forms have been developed to represent or counteract the effects of overload?
We will be integrating themed worksops and group discussion sessions into the conference programme. In addition to conference presenters, we are looking for people interested in developing and leading these forums. For a complete call for papers and call for workshop facilitators, please visit our website: http://infoload.co.uk/cfp/.
If you are interested in contributing a paper or presentation to the conference, please email a 300-word proposal detailing your topic, along with a brief bio, to email@example.com. Prospective workshop leaders should submit a proposal (max 500 words) describing the theme or topic of the session, a brief outline of any necessary equipment/resources, and a biography indicating relevant expertise to firstname.lastname@example.com. Proposals should be submitted by 16 June 2014.

HOBOKEN – After capturing the interest of three Hollywood producers, a Hoboken novelist hopes her fans will turn to the Internet to help turn her book about a confused "girl genius" into a blockbuster movie.
The trio of female Hollywood filmmakers want to turn Caren Lissner's humorous novel "Carrie Pilby" (2003) about a socially awkward 19-year-old Harvard graduate trying to adjust to life in New York City into a quirky movie designed to appeal to both men and women.
Suzanne Farwell (producer), executive producer of "It's Complicated" and "The Holliday," became a fan of the book and introduced it to Susan Johnson (director), who has produced award-winning films including "Mean Creek" and to Susan Cartsonis (producer), who produced "What Women Want," Lissner said.
"I've always wanted to find a female Holden Caulfield," Johnson said referring to the protagonist in J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" and a universal symbol of teenage angst. "Carrie is brilliant, fragile, funny, conscious, inquisitive and brave enough to say the things we wouldn't dare."Despite getting five-star reviews on Amazon.com, selling 50,000 copies and support from the three filmmakers, financial backing is hard to get, Lissner said.
To get seed money for the movie, the filmmakers have had to turn to Kickstarter.com, a website that allows the fans of the book to contribute to the cost of making the move.
Johnson, whose company is Braveart Films, launched a campaign earlier this month to raise the first $50,000 on Kickstarter, and ultimately make the film for $2.5 million. So far, the campaign has attracted almost 60 backers and have raised just over $7,000.
Now an editor with the Hudson Reporter chain, Lissner was born in Elizabeth and grew up in the Freehold and Matawan before moving to uptown Hoboken after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1993.
Like most novelists, finding a publisher was not easy. Lissner wrote four novels before Red Dress Ink of Harlequin published "Carrie Pilby" in 2003, she said.
The book is written in the vein of Bridget Jones' Diary, a genre that was popular at the time. It was re-released for teens in 2010.
The protagonist of Lissner's novel is a genius, but judges people by very black and white standards and thinks most people aren't smart or moral enough for her, Lissner said. She soon meets a series of characters who challenge her perceptions.
Lissner, who was 29 years old when she wrote the book, says that living in Hoboken and spending time looking for publishing jobs in New York City, she identified with her character.
Lissner, who has penned humorous op-eds for The New York Times, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, and continues to do freelance writing, is also working on other novels, she said.
"Now I'm working on several others," Lissner said. "If the movie gets made, it will certainly help with my other projects too, which is what a writer really wants -- as many readers as possible."
