Stocks barely move as Wall St. looks to 2014
NEW YORK - The stock market ended a quiet Monday mostly where it began as investors shut their books for what has been an extraordinary year on Wall Street. Traders had little corporate or economic news to work through. The bond market was quiet as well.
The Dow Jones industrial average moved less than 30 points, its narrowest range since February 2007. About 2.3 billion shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange, 40 percent less than average.
"The very narrow range reflects that there's not a lot of news out there and a lot of investors' positions are closed for the year," said Alec Young of S&P Capital IQ.
The Dow closed up 25.88 to 16,504.29. The S&P 500 fell less than 1 to 1,841.07. The Nasdaq composite fell 2.40 to 4,154.20.
Signed home-buying contracts flat for Nov.
WASHINGTON - The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy existing homes in November was essentially unchanged from October, suggesting sales are stabilizing after five months of declines.
The National Association of Realtors said Monday its pending home sales index ticked up to 101.7 from 101.5. Higher mortgage rates and strong price gains over the past two years have slowed sales.
Wells Fargo has $591M Fannie Mae settlement
SAN FRANCISCO - Wells Fargo says it has made a $591 million deal with Fannie Mae to settle obligations related to loans that went bad after the housing bubble burst.
The deal announced Monday covers loans made through 2008. Wells Fargo says it resolves nearly all repurchase liabilities it has with Fannie Mae, the federal mortgage buyer.
After adjusting for other repurchases, Wells Fargo will pay out $541 million, which it had already set aside. Wells Fargo agreed in September to pay $869 million to Freddie Mac to settle similar claims.
Cooper Tire ends deal to sell itself to Apollo
NEW YORK - Cooper Tire & Rubber called off its sale to India's Apollo Tyres, unraveling a $2.2 billion deal announced just over six months ago.
Cooper said financing is no longer available and it continues to claim, as it has for months, that Apollo breached the terms of the agreement. Apollo threatened for the first time Monday to pursue legal remedies after the announcement, which it called disappointing.
The companies agreed to the sale in June, but things deteriorated rapidly. Negotiations with the union representing Cooper workers was a sticking point.
Textile firm to expand, add 24 jobs in Cheraw
A North Carolina textile business is expanding its Cheraw plant to meet higher demand for its products, the state Commerce Department said today.
Kernersville, N.C.-based Highland Industries Inc. will invest $4.1 million and add 24 new jobs over the next two years in Chesterfield County.
Fabrics made in the South Carolina factory end up in automotive parts, military tents and backpacks, rockets, roofing products and many other everyday items. Highland Industries is owned by Tokyo-based Takata Corp.
The state Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved a $100,000 grant for infrastructure improvements related to the Cheraw expansion.

There are many ways in which seniors keep themselves active and "plugged in," but Valencia resident Molly Hodson, 70, seems to be taking things about as far as they can go. A Habitat for Humanity team leader for 17 years, she recently returned from yet another Habitat for Humanity homebuilding trip, this time to Buenos Aires, Argentina - where she led a group of 13 volunteers, including her granddaughter, Kayla Hodson, 17, a Hart High School senior.
You know you've done it. At least once in your life, and hopefully only in early grade school, you slipped someone of romantic interest one of those notes with a heart on it that read, "Will you be my girlfriend (or boyfriend)?" and had two check boxes, one for "Yes" and one for "No." And if your intended filled in her or his own box with "Maybe," well, it was just maddening.
Though I was sorely tempted to continue with malapropisms this week (unintentional use of the wrong word), as there are so many of them popping up out there all the time, I will limit myself to the one I came across that tempted me.

Now, I don't credit fortune cookies with any more power to predict the future than I do horoscopes. However, I always enjoy reading both, if only to see just how far off the mark they are, or just how vague they can be … you know, vague enough so that those fools of us who read them might imagine there is some truth there and actually think they were written by wise wizards in tune with the universal vibration.

This year's annual Celebrating YOUth Sports Festival will be held tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex at 20870 Centre Pointe Parkway, Saugus, CA 91350. The free festival is designed to bring the community together to raise awareness about the important role physical activity plays in the lives of young people. There will be tennis, golf, football, hockey, volleyball, baseball, rock climbing, interactive fitness equipment, trampoline jumping, dance, gymnastics, martial arts, fencing, stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking, as well demonstrations at the skate park. Some of the region ...
This Saturday and Sunday the popular Wings Over Camarillo air show returns to Camarillo Airport, bringing with it a thrilling and educational outing for the whole family. The expanded flight demonstration features many popular aerobatic routines with more than 80 aircraft, including vintage planes, experimental planes and WW II fighters, bombers, trainers and transports. Ground displays will include a C-130 transport, P-3C Orion, NASA F-18 and the Sonic Boom F-16 Flight Simulator.
Richard and Joyce Ziegenfuss, of Saugus, recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary with family and friends at Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Co. in Valencia.
When it comes time to select trees for their landscaping, many SCV homeowners overlook one of the best choices: the palm. According to Richard Green of Green Landscape Nursery in Saugus, in general, palms are slow growing, drought tolerant and low maintenance, and they have a root "ball" that usually doesn't cause problems with sidewalks and retaining walls and such.
"Man sets fire to home by microwaving undies" was the headline that caught my eye the other day. I mean, you couldn't make this stuff up, right?

Tort Duties of Landowners: A Positive Theory
Keith N. Hylton
Boston University - School of Law
March 6, 2009
Boston Univ. School of Law Working Paper No. 09-12
One of the most controversial areas of modern tort law is that of the duty of landowners toward people who visit their land. The common law divided land visitors into three types: invitees, licensees, and trespassers. The highest duty of care was owed to the invitee and the lowest to the trespasser. The distinctions led courts to hand down harsh decisions and to draw formal lines between the categories that seemed to defy common sense at times. This paper explains the incentive-based function of the classical landowner duties. I will argue that the classical duties served useful regulatory functions. The most important was regulating the overall scale of injuries by imposing the risk of latent defective conditions in property to the party who is most likely to be aware of the risk or to take action to avoid the risk.

And I don't know about Cotto because he turned pro at 140 and I haven't seen much of his amateur fights at the lower weights, but I do know that if Floyd was able to get his title at 130 as early in his career as he did, he certainly could have gotten one at Junior Featherweight and Featherweight if he had turned pro earlier. He would have been there slightly before guys like Morales and Barrera starting dominating, and those 3, along with a select few were the only ones who stood a chance against him.
Plus Floyd's not the only one who could have. If Oscar started earlier, he certainly could have too. I mean he was only one title away from it anyways.

The likes of Diaz, considered the weakest 135lbs division champ at that time, is still the defending champ. Cotto, for it being at a catchweight, was also the defending champ. So Pacquiao gaining those belts is still legit, though some were just abc paper belts. But this upcoming fight, where no one is the defending champ, or both not being rated in the division, and it being a catchweight, puts a question mark to the effort to make it look more legit than it is.
I don't mind Pacquiao gunning for another belt and history, but they should do it better. If its Margacheato, so be it. But why does it have to be a catchweight?

The next closest thing is Hoya and he got a gift decision for the Strum fight. Hoya didn't win that fight and it wasn't even close....and I'm a big Hoya fan. Pacquiao beating Diaz for the 135 belt is way better than Hoya getting a gift decision for the Strum fight. It's just amazing that Pac skipped 115 and 118. He may have been a 9 weight division champ by now LOL.

Its almost impossible but still possible. All you have to do is follow what Pacquiao did. Pretending to be a 18 years old when if fact he was just a malnourished 16 years old kid fighting full grown men in pro boxing. You also must posses all those Pacs attributes and have a very very strong determination to succeed.

with today's technology on performance enhancing drugs a 18 year old kid in the 105 division will be knocking out welters by the time he is 30
no offense to pac, he will always be the pioneer, kinda like duran

I am putting together a series of anthologies on new developments in detective fiction, already under contract with the publisher.
The first volume of this series will feature essays about the underrepresented in detective fiction -- not only authors and works from less represented regions of the world, but also less commonly seen detective figures -- with this term defined broadly.
A couple of authors whom I had expected to contribute have chosen not to do so, which leaves me needing to add two-three essays to this first volume. Please contact me with any questions/ ideas, and pass on this CFP to anyone who may be interested or able to help.

Well hi there!
It's me again, miss me? Huh? Huh? Did ya?
Well to make up for my ever sporadic posts I have some fabulous goodies to tell you all about today, brace yourselves to squeee!
Now, I have a question to ask you before we begin…what's wrong with rompers? Answer…nothing! I love rompers. They are just all kinds of sexiness to me and
DYN have just bought out these scrumptious little bundles of edible-ness.
They are figure hugging-curve showing-bewbie luvvin fantasticness and I give them a whole hearted two thumbs up. They come in Black which I'm wearing and also Hot Pink, Blue, Green, Rust and Red. Seaming is lovely, as usual from
DYN and the detailing on the whole outfit is really nice.
One of my favourite combinations of colour is black and red, I think it's my devilish side coming out, so my accessory fetish went towards scarlet with this outfit.
I adore these belts from Luckinc. Seriously, check out the detailing on this…mmmmm. I admit, I'm not one for wearing belts in SL, I'm way to lazy to edit that much, but these require little adjustment and even if they did, they are worth it! On my feet I plonked the gorgeous Dune boots from Maitreya in this lovely rich red.
Topping things off today is this stunning little offering from
KHUSH and the new love of my SL life, :: Exodi :: prim nails in Black. I have to talk about these for a minute becasue hello! Scripted texture change with glitter, glitter french tip, white tip, black tip and normal…phew.!
Usual skin is Alyson from Belleza (are you getting bored of me never changing skins yet? ok ok next post, I swear) and of course my crowning glory is a new release from TRUTH…everyone knows thursdays are TRUTH hair day!
Belt: Luck Inc. Wide Leather Belt Red
Shoes: Maitreya Dune Boots Red
Nails: :: Exodi :: Nails v 2.0 – Jet Black
Hair: >TRUTH< Jana – strawberry
Skin: -Belleza- Alyson MED 15 (cleavage)

What kind of an example are we setting for the world?
Are we setting an example for the world? Our government complains about the Russians in the Ukraine. It complains about the Syrians using chemical weapons on it's people, yet our FBI launches incendiary chemical weapons into a house using propane for heat. Teargas canisters are incendiary. The people had not been found guilty of any crimes and at the time were not under any indictments. Obama was in Congress at the time and did nothing to hold the FBI accountable.
I guess we truly are setting an example for the world — it is just a poor one.

Someone foolishly sealed hive entrance with silicone
For those who don't know it, there is a large tree in Minden Park where thousands of honey bees have entered a hole in its trunk and are actively making a natural hive. This is an interesting and rare sight. These bees have been coming and going with pollen from the many flowers in the park for well over a year now. The big problem — someone has taken it upon himself to seal up their hive entrance with silicone! Who is so stupid?
These bees are a wonder of nature and do not bother anyone. The fact is bees are what pollinate our trees and flowers. Pesticides and other pollutants have been killing all our bees for many years now. We definitely don't need some ignorant person unnecessarily killing the bees in Minden Park! My friend and I are going to try to reopen the hive entrance. Hopefully it's not too late.

Wenger reinforced his own squad on transfer deadline day by signing Park Chu-Young, Per Mertesacker, Andre Santos, Yossi Benayoun and Mikel Arteta. However, the Gunners' tactician believes they are some way off the pacesetters ahead of their Champions League opener away to Borussia Dortmund.

Thanks to cooking shows on television, everyone is getting into the act of using herbs to season their favorite foods.
It isn't surprising that herbs have become one of the staples of most kitchens. Chefs and hobbyist cooks will pay exorbitant prices for the best herbs available, not to mention the most expensive, saffron, which sells in excess of $1,200 a pound. Fortunately, it takes a lot of this pungent herb to make a pound, but only just a few threads can season an entire dish. Vials of saffron threads can be found at specialty food stores.
But we don't have to worry about paying huge prices for herbs to satisfy our flavor cravings in our favorite dishes. After all, what would rosemary roasted potatoes be without rosemary? Or how could we make pickles without dill?
Growing herbs in our own home gardens has not only taken off over the past 20 years, but it is easier to find most of our favorite seasonings in garden centers each spring.
So you've been tempted to grow summer savory and tarragon in your garden this year. The season is nearly over and the plants have thrived, growing from those tiny plants that came in two-inch pots to fill out a section more than a foot square in your garden. You have used fresh leaves and seeds all summer as the plants matured, but the end of summer is upon us and the plants are still looking lush and productive.
You don't want to simply pull them out and toss them on the compost heap any more than you want to go back to paying large prices for a small bottle of your favorite seasoning. Well, the good news is, you don't have to. You can preserve those herbs for the winter the same way you can tomato sauce and freeze whole kernel corn. You just have to know which herbs react in what ways when preserving.
We may have a visual of bundles of herb stalks all tied together and hanging from the rafters in our garage, shed or the beams of our country kitchen ceiling. Unfortunately, these pictures are often for show as none of these places, with the exception of the shed for a short time, is a good place to dry herbs.
And not only that, many of our favorite herbs, such as parsley, sweet basil and chives, can't be preserved that way. Anyone who has tried tying several stems of sweet basil together and hanging it upside down from a hook soon learns that the leaves wilt and turn brown rather than dry in the same way as sage, tarragon or lemon verbena. For this reason, in order to preserve your herbs for the winter, you have to know which way is best for which plant. The chart provided will offer some help in that regard, but here's a bit of detail that you might want to note as well.
Freezing is probably the easiest method used to preserve herbs. Nearly all herbs can be frozen, although some retain their flavors better than others. In addition, frozen herbs have a shorter life span for retaining flavors and should be used within three months of freezing.
To freeze herbs, rinse them quickly in cold water. Roll the stems gently in paper towels being careful not to crush the leaves. lay the stems on cookie sheets, place in the freezer to dry and then place in bags. This makes it easier to remove individual stems as needed. Many herbs, such as chopped chives and basil are frozen in ice cube trays for individual serving sizes.
Drying works well for many herbs. The flavors produced by the plants are in the form of oils. When an herb is dried, the water evaporates, substantially shrinking the plant. But most of the oils remain and are much more concentrated than when the plant still held water. As a result, when using dried herbs, the common rule of thumb is to use only one-third of the same amount used when the plant was fresh.
To dry herbs, rinse them before harvesting by spraying with a fine mist early in the morning before the heat of the sun has evaporated the oils. Once harvested, spread the plants out to dry. Do not hang wet stems or they will mildew and rot. Tie the stems into bundles with rubber bands. While it might be tempting to use raffia or ribbon to make a pretty presentation, as the stems dry, they will shrink and fall to the floor.
Keep drying herbs out of bright light. Drying in the kitchen is not recommended as they will attract cooking oils and dust. To air-dry herbs with seeds, place the stems in small paper bags and tie before hanging. As the seed pods dry, the seeds will fall out into the bags.
Other than tying and hanging herbs, if you have enough space, you can lay them flat to dry on screens or paper towels. Or you can quick dry most herbs in the microwave oven or a regular oven with low heat. In the microwave, place the stems on paper towels and heat for one minute at a time. Once they get close to being brittle, don't heat for more than 10 to 20 seconds at a time to avoid causing a fire.
Once your herbs are dried, store them in airtight containers. Avoid crushing the leaves until you are ready to use them in your favorite dishes. Dried herbs can be kept for up to one year without losing their flavor.

Stress Management Health Center
Stress Relief and Relaxation - Overview
Stress is a fact of life. Although some stress is normal and even needed, too much of it can affect your quality of life and your health. There are simple things you can do to help relieve stress.
Tips to relieve stress
When you feel stressed, you can:
- Take slow, deep breaths.
- Soak in a warm bath.
- Listen to soothing music.
- Take a walk or do some other activity.
- Meditate or pray.
- Take a yoga class.
- Have a massage or back rub.
- Have a warm drink that doesn't have alcohol or caffeine.
You also can make some changes in your everyday habits to reduce and relieve stress.
- Get plenty of sleep.
- Stay connected to your family, friends, and other caring people in your life.
- Get regular exercise. It can help you clear your mind and work off feelings of frustration and anxiety.
- Don't drink or eat anything that has caffeine in it. Caffeine can make you feel "wound up" and more stressed.
- Don't smoke or use tobacco. Nicotine can make you feel more anxious.
- Don't drink alcohol. It can cause sleep problems and depression.
Muscle relaxation to relieve stress
Your body may respond to stress by tensing up, which can cause pain. If you learn to relax your muscles, you can reduce muscle tension and anxiety. Progressive muscle relaxation is an exercise that can help you do this.
In progressive muscle relaxation, you tense and then relax related groups of muscles. You can use a relaxation tape or CD to help you go through all the muscle groups. Or you can learn the muscle groups and work through them from memory.
Find a quiet place where you won't be bothered. Be sure you can lie on your back in comfort.
For each muscle group:
- Breathe in and tense the muscle group for 4 to 10 seconds. Tense hard, but not to the point of cramping.
- Then breathe out while you suddenly and completely relax the muscle group. Don't relax it gradually.
- Rest for 10 to 20 seconds.
Here are the muscle groups:
Hands and arms

Damone Buxton and Gabe Rader (2 for 3, 2 doubles) hit back-to-back doubles in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game before Alec Fantaskey and Noah Esposito (2 for 4) opened the eighth with singles. Ian Dinsmore (2 for 4) then dropped a bunt single and Fantaskey scored on a throwing error past first base. Kyle Hoover earned the win in relief, throwing five brilliant innings of one-hit baseball while striking out 11.

The El Paso Chihuahuas have adopted a female pup Chihuahua from the Humane Society of El Paso.
The as-yet-to-be-named pup will make her debut at the Chihuahuas' Bark at the Park game on Aug. 3.
"We are excited to partner with the Humane Society of El Paso for the new addition to the Chihuahuas," said Brad Taylor, General Manager. "She will be an ambassador for responsible pet ownership and a reminder that these animals can add happiness to other families."
Like thousands of El Paso pets, the Chihuahua was wandering the streets and found without any I.D or a microchip.
She was turned into Animal Services in hopes of finding her owner or owners but was never claimed. The Chihuahua was moved into the V.I.P. (Virtually Irresistible Pets) section at the city shelter, which allows some animals more time to be adopted prior to being euthanized. Five days after entering the shelter, she was spotted by Kandolite Flores, Associate Director for the Humane Society.
"As soon as I saw her I knew she was the perfect match for the Chihuahuas," Flores said. "She was a little nervous, but let loose and showed us her personality. We know she is going to do great in her new home and be a PAW-esome ambassador for her breed and other rescues."
Flores contacted the Chihuahuas, who adopted the dog on Tuesday after she was transferred to the Humane Society. The pup underwent routine health checks, was microchipped, vaccinated and spayed.
The Chihuahua was put into foster care before joining the team to recover from being malnourished.
"She'll serve as a reminder to our community about the thousands of animals left behind every year," said Flores. "The Humane Society is happy to be working with the Chihuahuas and thankful for their help with promoting responsible pet parenting and advocating for pets in our community."
With the rescue and adoption, the Chihuahuas are asking fans to help name her.
The Chihuahuas, in conjunction with the Humane Society of El Paso, are asking fans to donate $1 to vote on a name for Chico's new best friend.
Ruby, Lola, Reina, Estrella and Rosa are the choices from which fans can pick.
All proceeds will go towards the Humane Society. Fans can vote at www.hselpaso.org/vote. The winner will be announced at the pup's introduction on Aug. 3.

text: DATE=10/7/1999 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=INDIA VOTE COUNT THURSDAY (L-UPDATE) NUMBER=2-254758 BYLINE=JIM TEEPLE DATELINE=NEW DELHI CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and his 22-party coalition have won India's parliament elections. Results show Mr. Vajpayee's National Democratic Alliance -- led by his Bharatiya Janata Party -- has passed the majority mark of 272 seats in India's lower house. It will add more seats as the count continues. V-O-A's Jim Teeple reports the results also show the opposition Congress Party, led by Italian-born Sonia Gandhi, has suffered a major electoral defeat. Text: Six-months after his government was defeated by one-vote in a parliament confidence motion led by Sonia Gandhi and the Congress Party, Atal Behari Vajpayee emerged a winner. His coalition has won a clear majority to form the next government. In the process Mr. Vajpayee dealt a decisive defeat to the opposition Congress Party which suffered one of its worst electoral losses in years The chief spokesman for the Bharatiya Janata Party, Venkah Naidu, says his party won this year for a variety of reasons. // NAIDU ACT // The 15-months of good governance by Sri (Mr.) Vajpayee. Secondly is his personality. Thirdly the alliances we have made in various parts of the country, and fourth is the negative campaign of the Congress Party. // END ACT // He says Mr. Vajpayee has won a decisive mandate to serve a full five-year term. Projections show Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi has won both races where she is seeking a parliament seat. But her Congress Party is trailing and is unlikely to hold onto all its 140-seats in parliament. A grim-faced Congress Party spokesman, Kapil Sibal, told reporters in New Delhi his party is evaluating the impact of the losses. // SIBAL ACT // The result calls for introspection, frank assessment, and determined action. We attend to this in the coming days. In the meantime, we accept unhesitatingly the verdict of the people. // END ACT // There have been calls for a change in leadership by senior party members. This is the second national election in which the Congress Party has suffered major losses since Sonia Gandhi took control of the party last year. But even as they begin the process of evaluating their losses, Congress Party leaders are saying they will be able to mount an effective opposition to B-J-P led alliance. Projections indicate that although Mr. Vajapayee will return to power -- he will do so with a majority of only about 20-seats and he will sit at the head of an alliance of 22-parties -- many of whom have different agenda's than his own. Analysts say this does not bode well for the new government to serve a full five- year term in office. Meanwhile, India's main stock exchange rose five- percent on the election news -- closing at an all-time high of 49-hundred 63-point-four. The market rise was also attributed to news that Moody's Investor Service has upgraded India's rating from stable to positive, citing promises made by the Vajpayee government that it intends to aggressively pursue economic restructuring.

The future of e-books and how to break into the industry
E-books seem to be all the rage these days.
According to a November 2012 survey by Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project Library Services, e-book readers increased from 16 percent to 23 percent in the past year among Americans aged 16 and older. Meanwhile, the study reported that the number of Americans who read printed books dropped from 72 percent to 67 percent among that same age group.
While the e-book industry has enjoyed rapid growth, competition remains fierce. If you want to enter the field, you not only need to know how the industry in general is doing, but how to break in and who to work with.
E-book industry outlook
Is it wise to join the e-book industry, or is this just another fad bound to die off? It depends who you ask.
In a January 2013 Wall Street Journal article, Nicholas Carr wrote, "E-books…may turn out to be just another format -- an even lighter-weight, more disposable paperback. That would fit with the discovery that once people start buying digital books, they don't necessarily stop buying printed ones…The two forms seem to serve different purposes."
Frank Catalano, in his GeekWire article "Why eBooks won't rule the Earth," took it a step further. Catalano wrote, "But while many texts may head for an eBook future, not all will. Some types of printed books are likely to go in two wildly different directions: skipping eBooks entirely for other digital forms, or prevailing in paper."
Clearly, no single consensus on the future of e-books exists. The industry has only come on the publishing scene in the last decade, thriving yet unstable. Wars between e-book publishers and traditional publishers, paired with lawsuits about e-book price fixing charges, make the future of e-books a hazy one.
Breaking into the field
Though the future of e-books remains unknown, growth has led to more people working in the field. If you're interested in joining the e-book industry, you'll need the right skills.
Since the e-book industry is so new, schools haven't offered specific degrees in e-book publishing. However, other degrees in different fields may equip you with some of the skills that may be necessary to thrive in the industry. What you study may depend on which facet of e-books you want to go into.
If you want to publish your own e-books, consider gaining writing skills through a journalism or English degree, or become an expert in the subject you want to write about. If the business side of the industry interests you, consider studying business or marketing. If the technical or digital aspects of e-books excite you, look into degrees like new media studies or computer science.
Amazon vs. everywhere else
In the past, those interested in publishing moved to New York City. Now, some would-be publishers are moving to…Seattle to work at Amazon? You might want to, depending on which part of the e-book business you want to go into.
Forbes summarized the U.S. e-book market share in an article last year: Amazon at two-thirds, Barnes & Noble at a quarter, and everywhere else significantly lower. Nobody doubts that Amazon is winning in this field currently. You can either join them or take a different route.
Traditional publishers, like Random House, have adapted to the e-book growth, converting many of their print books to e-books. You could join traditional publishers as they attempt to make their mark on this emerging field, which may require a move to New York City.
If you're just interested in writing e-books, you can do that from anywhere. But you'll have different options of getting them published, whether through a traditional publisher that also publishes e-books or a company like Amazon. One neat self-publishing route to look into is Amazon's Createspace, which makes your e-book available on Amazon.com and the Barnes & Noble website, as well as in print.
Like any evolving and competitive field, you yourself must evolve and compete. If you are able to gain the skills in college and upon graduation to work in the e-book field, you may have the opportunity to dive into this exciting industry.

Festivals in Irland are bountiful. From music, all the way to capturing wild goats, there's something that's sure to please everyone. Irland music festivals are out of this world! Sea Sessions Surf and Music Festival for example, is a three day fest bursting at the seams with great music, and activities galore. The accommodations at this music festival are plentiful, and include surf lodges, guest houses, nearby hotels, and the Sea Sessions campsite. While festival goers enjoy the music, they can also watch an awesome surf competition, which brings in the biggest names in surfing, from across Europe.
If a good laugh is needed, Cat Laughs Comedy Festival, is sure to provide it. This laugh fest is held in the beautiful city of Kilkenny, and showcases the best in both Irish and International comedians. Improv Fest Ireland is another comedic festival, with fun improv shows, storytelling, and so much more.
Since there's a list of Irland events, several miles long, of course there would be a "capture the goat" event somewhere in that long list. Visit the annual Puck Fair, where every year, a group of people venture out into the woods to capture a wild goat. The goat is then crowned "King Puck", by the Queen, a local schoolgirl. The three day event is filled with family friendly fun, including street performers, concerts, and parades.

Three months of chemotherapy this past summer weren't enough to knock out Ethan Zohn's case of Hodgkin's lymphoma. So he's back in the hospital, connected to tubes and wires, undergoing even more chemotherapy – and in his latest video diary, he takes viewers inside his tiny room to share the experience and let his fans know how he's doing.
"I have been locked in this room for three days, and I've gone a little bit stir crazy, I'm not gonna lie," says the Survivor: Africa winner, reclining in a hospital bed in part one of a new three-stage battle he's waging against the resurgent cancer.
In late August, Zohn discovered that the cancer he had been treating since May had actually spread. Last month, he began an intense treatment regimen, starting with two new chemo sessions. Those will be followed by radiation therapy, and – in December – a complete stem-cell replacement therapy that will keep him in the hospital for 30 days straight.
Finding a way to break his stir-craziness after three days, the always-driven athlete says in the video that he was excited to finally get up and walk around – just before taping his message to viewers.
"They finally let me out in the hallway where I could do some walking," he says. "Fourteen laps [around the hall] is a mile, and of course I tried to break the record – so I did 28 laps. Which I'm pretty happy about."
Showing his usual upbeat nature, Zohn adds that he's feeling positive about the new chemotherapy: "So far so good. I feel it killing all the cancer in my body, and I'm excited to keep doing what I'm doing – and I'll see you soon," he says.

Back on Maui for the holidays, Alice Cooper will rock in the New Year at Mala Wailea's benefit party for the MACC and the Maui Food Bank. And this time he'll front his own band, which will also accompany other special guests like Pat Simmons of the Doobie Brothers, Michael McDonald and Weird Al Yancovic.
Alice's group includes bassist Chuck Garrick, guitarists Damon Rogers Johnson and Tommy Henriksen and drummer Glen Sobel.
"This is the best band I've had in my life," says Alice. "We can go in a million directions from 'Brown Sugar' to 'Back in the U.S.S.R.,' so that night we're going to be playing lots of different stuff."

It's been an exciting year for the icon of shock rock. He released an acclaimed new album, "Welcome 2 My Nightmare," joined Johnny Depp in London making a cameo appearance in the upcoming Tim Burton movie "Dark Shadows," and he was finally inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame.
"It's been a busy year, but really great," says Alice. "We got into the Hall of Fame, and part two of 'Welcome to My Nightmare' has charted higher than anything we've done in 20 years."
Stylistically wide ranging, "Welcome 2" finds Alice in fine form, rocking strong.
Fact Box
* The Mala Wailea New Year's Eve benefit party for the MACC and the Maui Food Bank will feature Alice Cooper and his band with special guests performing including Pat Simmons, Michael McDonald and Weird Al Yancovic. Tom Arnold will emcee. Dinner begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $500. Call 875-9394.
Ultimate Classic Rock proclaimed it its Album of the Year, AllMusicGuide hailed it as "the best Alice Cooper record in decades." And the U.K. Guardian pronounced that Alice "has rediscovered his mojo. The sequel nods to the old glam stomp, but is a thoroughly inventive, modern-sounding record, with unlikely shifts ranging from an auto-tuned ballad to Tom Waits-style vaudeville to classical/ opera and even a duet with Ke$ha."
A follow-up to his 1975 concept record, "Welcome To My Nightmare," Alice reunited with producer Bob Ezrin on "2."
"Bob is my George Martin," says Alice. "He produced my first solo album and we did 10 platinum albums together. He takes all the raw ideas and silliness and it ends up being Alice Cooper. On this new album I said, 'Let's do a new nightmare with 13 totally different songs, 13 different voices."
Collaborating with some of his former band mates on a few tunes, Alice surprised fans by inviting "Tik Tok" star Ke$ha along for the thrilling ride.
"I talked to her and said, 'You're a pop diva, but in your heart you're a rocker. You'd rather be Robert Plant,' " he reports. "You're going to play Satan on my record, coming to collect my soul, but you're not going to be scary, you're going to be a seductive femme fatale. We wrote a song called 'What Baby Wants.' A lot of people were like, Ke$ha? I said, trust me, and she nailed it. I hired her to play Satan not realizing she actually is Satan."
Reflecting some of his early influences, we hear echoes of the Beatles on the track "The Congregation," while "Runaway Train" and "I'll Bite Your Face Off" rock with classic Stones grooves.
" 'Bite Your Face Off' is pure Rolling Stones," he agrees. "It sounds like something written for the Stones in 1965."
"Runaway Train" features another surprising guest - country star Vince Gill wailing on lead guitar.
"Vince is one of the great guitar players," Alice notes. "We put a Telecaster in his hands and he just ripped. It's one of the best solos I've heard in my life."
After 45 years of performing and 27 studio albums, Alice was finally inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame in March. The rock legend who crafted classic rebellious anthems such as "School's Out," "I'm Eighteen" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy," had been passed over 16 times before being inducted this year.
"There's no chronological order to it," he says. "Bands like the Moody Blues should have been in 15 years ago. Alice Cooper was eligible 16 years ago and we just got in, yet there are newer bands that get in. No one quite knows how the nominations work. When I got in, I was expecting a secret handshake, and a dossier on what was really going on at Area 51, who killed Kennedy, and where Hoffa was buried. But none of it happened."
Also this year, Alice toured the U.K. and while in London played himself in Tim Burton's latest movie, "Dark Shadows," starring Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green and Helena Bonham Carter.
Set in 1972, Depp's character, a recently revived vampire, hires the rock star to play a private ball at his seaside home.
And when Alice decided to play a small gig at the 100 Club in London in August, the famous actor jumped on stage to unleash his guitar talent.
"Johnny is a great guitar player," Alice says. "When we were doing the film, we decided to play a club. The 100 Club holds 200 people. The Yardbirds and The Who played there. There were no theatrics that night, we were just a bar band. Johnny shows up and does 'Eighteen' and 'School's Out' with us. And I'm telling you, the guy could play for the Foo Fighters. He's really good. I told him, if this whole acting thing doesn't pan out, feel free to join the band."
Anyone who remembers the British version of the psychedelic '60s might appreciate hearing the "God of Hellfire," Arthur Brown himself, who joined Alice to sing his hit "Fire" on Halloween night in London.
"The theme this year was fire, so I said I've got to get hold of Arthur Brown. The lights went out and all you heard was, 'I am the god of hellfire.' And everybody went nuts. He had his hair on fire. It was great."
The British press love covering Alice when he visits. It's an opportunity for even staid dailies such as The Independent to run headlines like - "Rock and horror: Alice Cooper on 40 years of beheadings, fake blood - and voting Republican."
In between concert dates, Alice even got invited to the Houses of Parliament to have a tour and tea with Conservative Member of Parliament Mike Weatherley.
My, how times have changed.
Back in the early '70s, a politician attempted to ban Alice from entering England. "Cooper is peddling the culture of the concentration camp," the MP had railed at the time.
In October, along with thanking Alice for his support of Rock the House, an annual contest that promotes live music and awareness of intellectual property rights, Weatherly announced: "I first got involved in politics as a result of an MP in 1973 trying to ban him from getting into the country. It is wonderful that now in 2011 we embrace the creativity of such a unique artist as Alice Cooper."
"They're trying to make the House more in touch with the people though music," Alice explains. "It was very cool. I told them when Americans think of England, they think music, because of the Beatles, the Stones, The Who, all the great bands. I said, I think music is your greatest asset."
In recent years the Detroit-born rock star has long championed British bands through his nationally syndicated radio show.
Heard here on KAOI 95.1 FM, six nights week, the Coop plays music by legendary bands from The Who and Pink Floyd to Deep Purple and The Clash, interspersed with nuggets from more obscure acts like Humble Pie and Stealer's Wheel, along with anecdotes about the rock luminaries he's hung with.
"When I took the show I said, I'll play Van Halen and Led Zeppelin, but I will play a healthy dose of the Yardbirds and Them and Love and lot of bands that were forgotten like the Swinging Blue Jeans and Nashville Teens," he says. "Great bands that didn't get the recognition they should have. That's the reason I took the show. These are the records that got me to do what I do - British invasion bands like the Pretty Things, who weren't big hits in the States, but we knew who they were."
More than 40 years after Alice Cooper first emerged, the 63-year-old rocker still loves thrilling fans.
"I'm glad I never grew out of loving the character of Alice," he concludes. "Alice will always be my favorite rock star. It's fun to play him. I don't have to be him all the time. On stage I can be this really over the top Allan Rickman-type villain. I never get tired of it and apparently the audience never gets tired because we sell out every show.
"I'm 30 years sober and when I was drinking I never knew where Alice began and I stopped. Now it's easy to clearly understand that that Alice belongs on stage and doesn't belong walking the streets. I look forward to playing him now."

Jaya Prods PM to Break Silence on Fisherfolk
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 08th January 2014 07:42 AM
Last Updated: 08th January 2014 07:42 AM
Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa has accused the Central government of being a mute spectator to the sufferings of Tamil Nadu fishermen at the hands of the Lankan Navy and the woes of their families all along.
In her letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the arrest of 25 fishermen and detention of five mechanised boats from Ramanathapuram district by the Lankan Navy on January 2 at the Gulf of Mannar, the Chief Minister said "the repressive Lankan Navy is establishing its authoritarian presence in the Palk Bay by chasing and arresting unarmed innocent fishermen from Tamil Nadu who offer no provocation."
"I am at a loss for words to convey my deepest anguish and frustration over the repeated apprehension and incarceration of a large number of Indian fishermen from Tamil Nadu by the Lankan Navy," she said and added that the hopelessly inadequate response of the Centre had given rise to considerable resentment and angst not only among the fishermen community, but also the entire population of Tamil Nadu.
She also pointed out that the breadwinners of poor fishermen families were kept under detention for months together in an alien land and the only assets they possessed to earn their livelihood were also allowed to rot and ruin there due to the inaction of the Centre.
Recalling her earlier letters in this regard, the Chief Minister sought the Prime Minister's personal intervention and the use of diplomatic channels in a concrete and decisive manner with the Sri Lankan authorities to secure the immediate release of 275 fishermen who were languishing in Sri Lankan jails and the 84 fishing boats in Lankan custody, at the earliest.

Jewelry is wearable art. That is why I make it. I began the journey into jewelry design 8 years ago when fixing necklaces and bracelets that my mother had designed, made and given to me. The process of bringing together stones, colors, wires and shapes into a unique, beautiful wearable form is an exhilarating expression of art.
I have many sources of inspiration: my faith, nature, historical art and collaboration. For example, my partner (Tracy) and I work together to design and create a wooden cross pendant for inclusion into a necklace or rosary. Additionally, Tracy's ability to make wooden drawplates encouraged my incorporation of Viking knitting into my jewelry designs. My personal history (I was born and lived in The Netherlands) as well as Tracy's family background from Norway also serve as inspiration for the analysis and incorporation of historical styles from that portion of the world.
Just like painting that began my artistic journey, jewelry design gives me an outlet for my creative desires. What distinguishes jewelry making from painting is the ability to provide an affordable piece of art for everyone. A complete painting requires much more time to create, therefore rendering the value more than a lot of us would like to or can afford to spend. A piece of jewelry, on the other hand, is quite affordable, portable and wearable. Providing wearable pieces of art that can be enjoyed and appreciated by many people, every day is my purpose for Katerina's Custom Jewelry and Wood Crafts.

I Don't Let My Kids Play With Toy GunsDanielle
I think by now we already know where I stand on the gun control debate. I have been outspoken about it, especially in the aftermath of the local Sandy Hook school shooting where I lost a long time friend.
But beyond the recent events though, I have always stood by a strict no toy guns policy in my house. I haven't bought any, and I have gone out of my way to ask family members not to purchase any either.
No NERF guns.
No cap guns.
No water guns.
No guns. I don't want my children playing games in which they are shooting each other. Period.
Come on, tell me how much of a horrible mother I am! Give it to me! Tell me I am not letting my kids be creative or allowing them to role play. No cops and robbers, or playing war. But if I am being completely honest… these are all games I don't want my children playing either way, so I don't see the big loss in it all.
Just like I don't allow WWE Wrestling in my house. I just don't think violent role playing games are appropriate for children, especially at the ages of 5 and under. There is something about pretending to shoot someone that doesn't sit right with me no matter how you slice it.
Will I pitch a fit if they play these games at their friend's houses? Probably not. But if they come home and ask me to buy them a toy gun, the answer will always be no.
Of course as time goes on and they grow older, I certainly may change my mind on the subject as a whole. But for now, especially in wake of all the tragedies across the country, I don't want guns to be a focus in my house.
I just don't think guns are toys for kids to play with, even if they are mass manufactured.
Do you let your children play with toy guns? Why or why not?

I was out at the bar last night with some friends to watch the boxing match between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather. It was a small sports bar and it was a packed house. Well this guys walks up and asks if he can sit at our table. Nobody objected so he joined us. He turned around to watch the start of the match and i noticed his shirt and had to take a picture of it. I asked him about it and he told me that he got it at a rally in Atlanta for the Minute Man project. Any who i just thought it was cool. Well heres the picture.

Russell Westbrook is the big, bold discussion that everyone seems to have an opinion on. Breaking down every decision he makes, critiquing each individual shot and even speculating on his mood is all the rage.
But kind of the indie, underground debate that really is much better and far more impactful and important is about the first five players that Scott Brooks sends out nightly.
It's something that's become painfully obvious through the first three games of this series: Kendrick Perkins doesn't match up well with the Mavericks and more specifically, Tyson Chandler.
He can't run the floor with him. He can't jump and challenge him above the rim. Perk's greatest contribution of solo coverage on a post scoring threat isn't as valuable against a guy like Chandler. Against Nene? Perk was as important as any player on the roster. Same thing could be said against Marc Gasol.
Now though, he's become more of a liability. The Thunder have a problem scoring at the start of every first and third quarter. And while last night the biggest culprit was downright awful shooting, there could be a larger issue at hand. The always brilliant John Hollinger makes the case:
In the three games, Oklahoma City has been outscored 39-17 in the opening minutes of the first quarter until a reserve checks into the game. Overall, the deficit to begin each half is 57-31. Take those minutes away and the Thunder are comfortably outscoring Dallas.
To put a finer point on things, let's replace the word "starters" with "Kendrick Perkins." In his 82 minutes on the court, the Thunder have been outscored by a whopping 32 points. In his 62 minutes on the bench, the advantage has titled nearly as strong the other way: the Thunder are plus-23.
And those slow starts? They've magically ended at the exact second Perkins departed. Oklahoma City trailed by five in Game 1 before he went out, by nine in Game 2, and by 15 in this one — 29 points worth of deficits to make up the rest of the night. The Thunder overcame it in Game 2 by scoring on nine straight possessions right after Perk went to the bench; in the other two games, the hill was too big to climb.
Hollinger makes a great point as well: The Thunder are a much better team in the future with Kendrick Perkins at they're starting center. Just now right now, in this series. Against the Mavs, Perk simply doesn't have a place. Dallas doesn't give Chandler the ball in the post. Basically, Perk's greatest asset is just tangling himself up with Chandler as much as possible to either goad him into a technical or keep him off the offensive glass. That's pretty much it.
(Keep in mind though, Perk has admitted he's not close to 100 percent. He didn't get to go through a training camp and more than anything, he appears to be a bit out of shape right now. The Perk we get next season will be much different from the Perk that's lumbering around right now.)
Now Scott Brooks isn't going to change things. I tried to explain why already. Before last night's game he was asked about starting lineups and said there won't be any changes this season, but over the offseason there will be discussion about it. Brooks isn't dumb. He sees what we're seeing. He understands the problem at hand. He's just A) too stubborn to change and B) he doesn't want to start tinkering in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. That's not his philosophy and that doesn't fit the message he's preached at his team the last six months.
But Brooks acknowledged last night that there's an offensive issue with the starting five because there are really only two scoring options on the floor. The weight falls almost exclusively on to Durant and Westbrook and not just that, but two players are actual offensive liabilities. The Thunder way is defense and that's what Brooks wants his team to rely on. But good offense beats good defense and the Thabo Sefolosha and Perk aren't adding anything offensively.
"Kevin and Russell have to really lead us and keep that scoreboard moving with that first unit and they don't mind. They don't mind that opportunity," Brooks said. "Sometimes Russell gets a lot of hits on taking too many shots but he's with a unit that plays very good defense that allows us to get stops and score in transition and Russell and Kevin have to lead that group in scoring."
Here's my issue with that though: Westbrook often talks about how he likes to use the first quarter to really get his teammates involved and distribute. He wants to set up early and then score later. But that doesn't at all fit with the structure Brooks just laid out. The way Brooks has it, Westbrook needs to be in attack mode from the outset, taking shots alongside KD. That conflicts with Westbrook's mindset, or at least the one he says he has. That's a problem. Westbrook really only has two players to set up on the offensive end in KD and Serge Ibaka. Thabo and Perk can score, but they definitely aren't at all proficient at it.
Brooks was pretty much universally praised for his bold, risky decision to let his bench finish out Game 2. He made a call and he was willing to stick by it. With a chance at the NBA Finals on the line here, he might have to make another difficult, risky call. There's pretty much no way that he does and I'm not going to go as far to say that it could be the difference in winning this series and losing, but right now, the starting five is holding the Thunder back. The first eight minutes lost Game 3, there's no denying that.
But if you can sit Russell Westbrook for an entire fourth quarter, why can't you sit down Kendrick Perkins and Thabo Sefolosha in the first?

Featured Golf News
Killeen Course at Ireland's Killarney Golf & Fishing Club Deserves Respect
Many American travelers in Ireland lucky enough to play the Killeen Course at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club return with slightly underwhelming reports about the inland, parkland-style course, perhaps because the experience there is akin to those of a great course they're used to playing back home rather than the thrilling Irish links.
Killarney Golf & Fishing Club
But anything less than a fabulous review of the Killarney G&FC course is misguided. It provides a wonderful and demanding round and deserves a heaping helping of respect, even if the wind is whipping down from the nearby MacGillycuddy Reeks - the Emerald Isle's largest mountain range - rather than off the shores of the Atlantic Ocean or the Irish Sea.
It's hard to find a more stunning setting for golf anywhere in the world, so much so that the layout carries the nicknames of "heavens reflex" and the "nearest golf club to Heaven." The backdrop of the course is Carrauntoohil, the highest mountain in Ireland, and a handful of its holes are played on and over Lough Leane, the largest freshwater lake in the southwest corner of the island nation.
Killarney is a private club - that like most Irish courses, accepts outside tee times - which is set just west of its charming, namesake town in County Kerry. The facility is unique in that it's considered the only true "lakeside" golf club in the country and, with that designation, has attributes of both seaside links and inland courses.
The Killeen Course is the flagship layout of the club's three layouts (the others are Mahony's Point and Lackabane) and is a true gem. Killeen has hosted five Irish Opens, most recently in 2009 and '10. It has also held many major and minor championships as well, including the 1996 Curtis Cup matches.
Golf at the Killarney G&FC dates back to 1893, but the Killeen course was fashioned in 1972 by Billy O'Sullivan and Fred Hawtree and was the second of the three layouts built at the club. David Jones updated the course ahead of the 1991 Irish Open - won by Nick Faldo over Colin Montgomerie, and in 2006 Killeen was again renovated, this time by Tom MacKenzie, who added new tees, bunkers and yardage.
During the redo, the greens on the holes skirting the lake were quickened and moved closer to the water, making Killeen imposing, yet highly enjoyable.
The 1st Green at Killeen Course
The Inland Holes are the Toughest
The Killeen Course plays to a par of 72 with a 35-37 routing; there's one par-5 on the front nine and just one par-3 on the back. It stretches 7,181 yards from the back set of four tees; be forewarned that the stroke-saver "yardage" book is in meters.
Despite its proximity to the mountains, Killeen occupies mostly flat ground with no more than 40 feet of roll on its entire expanse. The lake enters play on Nos. 1, 3 and 4. Then the routing turns inland before skirting the water again on the 10th, which plays straight towards the water.
These tree-lined fairways can seem confining (especially from the tips), but they are actually quite generous. Some of the holes adjacent to the lake are exposed to fickle winds and, when the lake is not in play, ponds and burns often are; water is a factor on 11 of the 18 holes.
The opener is a 378-yard par-4 with a slight dogleg-right fairway that hugs the lake and sports a 100-yard-long bunker between the short grass and the water. The lake and a marsh are worth noting on the testy 200-yard, par-3 third, whose tee box offers a commanding view of the water, mountains and a small island upon which a 17th Century monastery was built.
The 10th on Killeen Course at
Killarney Golf & Fishing Club
The stunning vistas continue at the 417-yard, par-4 fourth, which starts - from the rearmost tee - on a tiny promontory and extends over a marsh to very narrow, rightward-sloping fairway alongside the shores of the lake. A thick tree-line down the left side provides no relief as the approach is to a multi-tiered green that juts into the lake, making this one of Killeen's toughest holes.
The 452-yard par-4, dogleg-right fifth turns sharply to a putting surface virtually hidden behind a cluster of trees and guarded by a large bunker right. A creek runs along the right side of the fairway to about 220 yards, and along the left at about the 270-yard mark is a large tree. If you can avoid these obstacles, you're still left with a second shot considered one of the most bestial in all of Ireland.
The 410-yard, par-4 eighth offers one of Killeen's most scenic tee shots. The elevated block is hidden back in the woods and the drive has to split a narrow chute through trees. The approach must avoid a creek that enters before the green from the left.
Killeen's best holes are found in a stretch beginning with the 485-yard, par-5 11th and extends to the 371-yard par-4 14th. No. 11 (played as a lengthy two-shotter at the Irish Open) is deceptively difficult; it's straight and wide and forgiving until reaching its elevated, three-tiered green, which is protected by a lone bunker at the front-right.
The 18th Hole on Killeen Course at Killarney G&FC
The 12th (a 447-yard par-4) is also wide and enticing, but players must beware of the dual deep bunkers on the left in the prime landing area and three more guarding the front flanks of the green. Arguably the best hole on Killeen is the 500-yard, par-4 13th, where thick rough lines both sides of a runway-like fairway that is flat until it dips into a dale bearing a creek. From there, the hole shoots upward to a green surrounded by trees.
Players that drop a shot on the 13th have a chance to get it right back on the 386-yard, par-4 14th, which moves slightly downhill and rightward around "Turkey Oak," a 200-year-old tree that is the oldest on the course. From the landing area, the fairway rises modestly to an elevated and well-bunkered target.
The closer at Killeen is a 439-yard par-4 that moves slightly to the left from a landing area squeezed on the left by a wide creek and right by three bunkers. A pond impinges the left side of its raised green, further squeezed front-right by a deep bunker, all set in the shade of Killarney's stately clubhouse.
Admittedly, the experience at the Killeen Course does not compare with the one at famed Irish coastal links such as Ballybunion or Lahinch, nor does it try to. Instead, players here can enjoy inland golf at one of Europe's best and most noted venues.
And that's a lot to crow about.

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting when I cracked open the bottle of Aviation gin. The bottle, the name, the styling: it all said "classic, London dry" to me. For those of you in the know already, it's truly one of the new breed of American Dry. It is big and bold, but with the juniper in the background. It's more of the bassist in this band. The citrus and the other flavors are in the front.
I opened the bottle, and was struck by how floral it was. It reminded me of G'vine Floraison; however, upon tasting it was a bit more subtle and balanced, calling to mind the balanced citrus and juniper harmonies in Bluecoat.
As for the botanicals, officially they are listed as: juniper, cardamom, coriander, lavender, anise, sasparilla and orange peel. Unofficially, orange and juniper are easily detectable while cardamom and sasparilla are nearly undetectable (leave it to the experts, even knowing what I was looking for I wasn't getting sasparilla). The lavender is present when sniffed; however, seems much more subtle in the drink itself. It is made from a 100% neutral rye base, and I can only hope that the fine distillers in Portland can continue unabated by the Nation's rye shortage. The neutral base is exactly that: perfectly neutral (but very smooth) and allows the rest of the botanicals to stand out.
This is a diverse gin, and don't let the strong bouquet fool you. It makes for a stunning Tom Collins, a refreshing gin and tonic, and yes- a classic Aviation. But one thing that raises Aviation gin to the next level is its smoothness and complexity. It is a gin that you can sip neat or on the rocks, and not be left wanting. Its a great gin in martinis all around, but if you're one of those people who would rather look in the direction of France than drink vermouth (I think you're sorely missing out on one of life's finer pleasures by the way) this is one gin that will be able to carry the show for you.
Price: $30-35/750mL
Best consumed: Great for sipping on the rocks and stellar in nearly all cocktails.
Website: http://www.aviationgin.com/
Availability: Fairly common at high end liquor stores, or ones that have a variety of gins. I think its becoming more common on the East Coast.
Rating: Outstanding. a gin that has won its way on to my shelf and may prove to be a favorite going forward.
