"Devil's Rope opens with a one-two-three punch, each of which hits a sweet spot. The band summarizes Saturday night in the small-town south via the simple two-line brilliance that is opening cut "Signal's" chorus: "Fast cars and loud guitars / Local bars and goin' too far." It's the kind of raucous, uplifting dance tune that Brad Paisley would shoot a dude in a 'Skynyrd shirt to have written. The following, title track offers an ominous beat to accompany a tale of romantic obsession wherein one simultaneously hopes and doubts that the song's subject ("devil's rope," i.e. barbed wire) is being used metaphorically. "Jet Boys", the third track, is the album's melancholy masterpiece, a sublime song of yearning both for escape and for the lost heroes that once promised it. The song harkens back to an era when Ford vs. Chevy inspired a more heated argument than Republican vs. Democrat, and titans like "Big Daddy" Don Garlitz and Shirley "Cha Cha" M"
"There is more where that came from; Devil 's Rope is the title track of TimLee3's new record, which is some A++ swampy, bluesy rock and roll. Devil's Rope has been stuck in my head for a week now, but I'm also fond of Signal, Cut-Rate Divorce and Judging You."
"In these days when so much indie product is the result of a highly studied professionalism, Devil's Rope can seem like a "minor" record from a local band. But that's way off-target. Tim Lee's days with The Windbreakers might be long over, but his current group still captures the vital spirit of the era that spawned his first endeavor. Some of the most important acts of the '80s sprang from the underground, and in those days if you were way outside the rock mainstream, you were almost certainly a local phenomenon sitting on the cusp of breaking out. There isn't a song on Devil's Rope that's less than very good, with a handful actually achieving excellence. Modestly scaled records like this one can slip through the cracks far too easily, and that's a real drag. So don't screw the pooch here. If you're searching for no-nonsense rock music that's played for the sheer joy of it, then please step right up to the Tim Lee 3."
"Recorded in Tuscon, Austin, and Knoxville, Devil's Rope bristles with the sort of rock music that begs to be played loudly on your car stereo. The psych-blues title track hooks you from the get-go with its hand-clap beat and slow-burn guitar licks; the bouncy "Monkey Dance" skewers the indie-rock lifestyle, tempered with judicious use of a toy xylophone; "Judging You" barrels along like an out-of-control Ranchero, punctuated with Craig Schumacher's howling harmonica. Throughout, Tim Lee delivers a righteous guitar tone that's both tasteful and absolutely blistering. But the album's not-so-secret weapon is Susan Bauer Lee's lead vocals, providing a unique balance to the band's output, husband-and-wife yin and yang. Her songs tend to be less humorous than Tim's, even melancholic, but there's a life-affirming strength there that shines through, even when she sings things like "Everything is good these days, but all of my friends are dying," on "Open the Door"
"The band has plenty to say with its new music. The new studio album,"Devil's Rope," is the sort of high-energy, unvarnished rock 'n' roll that fans expect."
"The end result is a hodge-podge of everything that makes rock 'n' roll great: the jangling guitars of "Signal" fades into the dirty blues rock of the title track, the acoustic sweetness of "Alibi" flows into the pop-punk of "Monkey Dance," and the fuzzed-out garage-scuzz of "Says Baby Strange" transitions into the brooding Southern rock tinge of the album's closer, "Any Day Now." Susan's vocals are more confident than ever before, and with the vocal load more than balanced, Lee gets the opportunity to showcase what a killer guitarist he's always been."
"Tim and Susan Bauer Lee are arguably the most capable rock 'n' roll couple around. Tim's steely stance and Susan's dead-on posture make for a tough and tenacious swagger that perfectly accommodates both their stripped down sound and a penchant for elevated amplitude. On the no-nonsense Devil's Rope, the duo — along with drummer Chris Bates — steer their punk pose into '80s New Wave and Garage Rock terrain, full of agitation, defiance and a cool, confident delivery."
"...when I heard that Tim Lee 3 would be releasing a new LP (street date Feb 28), I had to pick it up and slap it on my digital turntable. And it slapped me back. I wasn't ready for anything this real. Tim Lee's "Jetboys" is about small towns and big dreams that the songwriter knows will never be realized. "You're Not There", has a killer hook and great, very expressive lead vocals from Susan Bauer Lee."
"Tim Lee and Susan Bauer Lee have to be the most capable rock 'n' roll couple around. Tim's steely demeanor and Susan's patented posture accompany a tough, tenacious swagger that perfectly accommodates their stripped down sound and elevated amplitude. On the no-nonsense Devil's Rope, the duo -- along with drummer Chris Bates -- steers their punk pose into '80s New Wave and Garage Rock terrain, full of agitation, defiance and a cool, confident repast. Susan Lee's vocals are better than ever; having evolved from strictly a support role, she's grown into a commanding lead singer, incorporating both edginess and nuance into a delivery that occasionally brings to mind Joan Jett, Patti Smith and Susanna Hoffs, even without directly referencing any or all."
"Well, the mailbox and inbox are filling up with tons of cool new music. So, I'll jump in with the second ever non-shuffle album review.... See what's up with Tim Lee 3 and their forthcoming new album Devil's Rope after the jump... Tim Lee 3 are from Knoxville, Tennessee. Devil's Rope is the follow up to their 2010 Double Album Raucous Americanus. They play music and eat Barbeque, and I was first introduced to their music via Couch by Couchwest. I liked what I heard so much that I made them a featured artist last year some time. Tim Lee 3 are Tim Lee (guitars and vox), Susan Bauer Lee (bass and vox) and Chris Bratta (drums). Recently, I got my grubby little hands on Devil's Rope, and now I intend to tell you why you ought to buy it when it is released on February 28 (you can pre-order for another day and a half will have the link below). Based upon their Facebook profile, Tim Lee 3 do not care much for labels, and they prefer to let their music speak for itself. And it do"
"Nell'attuale trend delle uscite discografiche quasi tutti i cd tendono a essere singoli (a parte le super ristampe in box e cofanetti extralusso) con durate che non superano l'ora. Questo Raucous Americanus va completamente contro le tendenze di quest'era digitale proponendo ben 21 canzoni per più di un'ora e mezza di vibrante rock'n roll che rapisce e non annoia mai, avvolto da un basso che pulsa nelle vene, chitarre sferraglianti e una batteria potente ed energica."
"... He and his bandmates, including his wife Susan and drummer Matt Honkonen, hit the gas pedal from the get-go, opener "What I Have Not Got" is a real melodic barn burner while the next cut, "Bigger' sits right between Tom Petty's "Even the Losers" and a Crazy Horse guitar workout. "Something Else" takes no prisoners with Susan on vocals while whomever is ripping on the harmonica on "Broken Line Fever" (Mr. Wavelab, Craig Schumacher) adds some real kick to the tunes engine. Disc 2 starts off with the kickin' "Bullets in the Barn" (cool surf /tremolo guitar) and barely lets up from there. "Salty Tears" is pure 70's Stones and "Hit the Ground" recalls Lee's jangle days in The Windbreakers. I'll say, out of these 21 songs there's not much filler, hardly any actually. Lee may not be the most prolific songwriter but what he does release, he really makes then count. This COUNTS."
"Those who are music fanatics know Mr.Lee, however,those who are somewhat more normal may be unfamiliar with Tim Lee. Regular CAR listeners know that Windbreakers and Tim Lee stuff appears regularly in the playlist. Tim is cut from the same mafia as Mitch Easter & Chris Stamey and his creations were sorely missed during his hiatus for a few years. The Concrete Dog record was great and the new double album is well worth an addition to your "want" list. Really your "need" list!"
"These days he collaborates with his missus of 29 years, Susan Bauer Lee , and with both writing and singing, they have enough polished material for a 21-song blowout. Most double LPs are "sprawling," but this isn't; it's focused on tough, catchy, old fashioned roots-rock, with southern blues and R&B flavors as befits their Knoxville, TN base (even if Bauer nods to The Kinks on "Good Times"). With drummer Matt Honkonen holding down the big beat, "What I Have Not Got," "Bullets in the Barn" and the blues-harmonica-wailing "Broken Line Fever" typify catchy stompers, with Lee's inventive guitar runs and shades elevating them well beyond the trad 'n' trodden."
"... the TL3 channels its breadth of talent into 21 tracks of warm, melodic and vibrant rock & roll. By virtue of having more strong songs per pound than most bands can manage on one disk, Raucous Americanus may be the best album Lee has made in a long, already exceptional career."
"Raucous Americanus is a rock record... two of them in fact. It's the only two-disc album to make the list. The reason the record is so successful is that, even at 21 tracks and nearly an hour-and-a-half, it never feels like too much or becomes to familiar. The songs were culled from three different recording sessions with three different producers in three different states. Add to that the fact that Tim and Susan swap lead vocals from song to song, and there is enough variety to keep things fresh the whole way through. From jangly pop to trippy Americana to full on rock, Tim Lee 3 released one of the most varied and satisfying albums of the year."
"To think that Tim Lee is still at it is an inspiration to those of us old enough to have seen his musical arc. This 2-disc package traces the common law marriage that went down between the jangly contingent and American roots music, to form alt-country. Joined by wife and co-songwriter Susan on bass, vocals and piano and Matt Honkonen on drums, they offer up 21 songs, half of which are flat out great examples of a healthy mutating of roots rock with an indie attitude and a proper sense of twang. There's also a psych-blues strain running through a lot of this stuff."
"There's no putting on airs ... no rock star posturing ... no putting Susan up front as the sexy rocker chick to get the boys to come to the show (although she could play that part) ... no name-dropping (although many could be) ... no pretending to be anything other than a straight-ahead American rock 'n' roll band."
"Their laid-back chemistry makes for dynamic waves coursing through the two discs of gritty, bluesy, and melodic Southern rock 'n' roll,"
"Until I got the link for their new album Raucous Americanus Tim Lee 3 was just another one of those Knoxville bands that I had always heard good things about but had never really taken the time to hear for myself. I'm not sure why that is, but I'm here to tell you that I've been missing out. Maybe you have too."
"Ask anyone. The wave of modern music is the digital single. Modern music is digested in short songs in which attention deficit disorder seems like the natural order. Why then would local band the Tim Lee 3 put out a double album?"
"Good2b3 marks the twenty-fifth record Tim Lee has had his name on, as well as the eighth album in his official discography. A surprise to me, yes - but one listen in and it starts to make a lot of sense. This is a polished and professional rock album with a stellar array of pop hooks to its credit. After a mere couple of listens, you'll find yourself humming these melodies in the subway and dreaming in Tim Lee stereo-sound."
"...the Tim Lee 3 are a solid band whose experience has only added to their strength. Their simple roots-rock occasionally soars to majestic heights few comparable acts attain, and their best lyrics are unpretentious but vivid portraits of life in our neck of the woods. Things aren't that different in the South, but the Lees have that rare ability to tap into the elements that make this region and its people unique, rarely sounding clichéd. And even the clichés sorta ring true."
"The Tim Lee 3 began cranking out some authentic Southern Rock sounds as soon as I arrived around 8pm. Their music is the quintessential rock you find in many bars in the southern part of the United States, and hearing it here in New York was a nice flashback to my time in college going out to bars to hear local music. Their stage presence was great. They are very engaging and you can tell they really enjoy being on stage and doing what they do best."
"The latest album by the Tim Lee 3 may be tagged 'Southern rock" by some listeners. And while I agree that it DOES go down particularly well with BBQ, slaw and a couple of beers, and that there will always be a vein of Mississippi mud surging thru the power chords, the music that Tim, his wife and bassist, Susan Bauer Lee and [former] drummer Rodney Cash are making these days also mines the rock of Mott the Hoople, Free, The Faces, New York Dolls and John Doe & Exene of X. Plug & play, go-for-broke rock & mayhem. By now, the trio are cooking up a singular feast that has been slow cookin' for many years and just gets better with each new serving."
"Who are they?: Tim Lee is one of those excellent songwriters that, were there any justice, would be world famous."
"Their unique brand of swampy, Southern pop, propelled by the often X-like harmonies of guitarist Lee and his bass playing wife Susan Bauer Lee (especially on "When The Roof Caves In"), pleased the steadily growing crowd and established the good vibe feeling of the evening."
"However, the new "Devil's Rope" is even better. The songs are tight, smart and heavy on hooks. The disc's opener, "Signal," and the title track follow-up are like a one-two punch. "Signal" is beguilingly sweet-sounding and catchy and "Devil's Rope" is a dark rocker bathed in gritty echo. The latter's heavy bass riff , punctuating guitar chords and on-the-money drumbeats (courtesy of drummer Chris Bratta) stay with you long after the song is over. Those tracks and what follow make up the best collection the act has yet released. Nearly every one of the 13 tracks gets better with repeated listens. In the past, the best numbers have always been the full-out rockers. Yet the song "Alibi," possibly the quietest the band has yet recorded, is a stand-out and is no less dark than the band's harder songs: Add to that, "Devil's Rope" sounds great —from the sweet jangly electric 12-string guitar on "Halo Days" to the wonderfully nasty sustain on "Cut"
"There are many gems on this album, from whole songs that will blow you out of the water like "Devil's Rope" and "Says Baby Strange," to instrumental quirks such as a toy piano on "Monkey Dance" or a garden weasel on "Jet Boys." Tim Lee 3 have once again delivered a pure rock 'n' roll, no filler, no fluff album, but you shouldn't expect less from them at this point. They know what to do and they do it well, solidifying their reputation as distinguished musicians even further, in this community and beyond."

Dining out is a special treat and one that I try to take advantage of whenever I can. Especially because I live in the food capital of America-New York City. It provides not only for a delicious meal, but research and inspiration.
This past week I had the pleasure of dining at Boqueria, a tapas restaurant located in Manhattan. I've heard rave reviews about this tiny, bustling hotspot ever since I moved here, and I was eager to partake in their authentic small plates. The meal was everything I'd hoped for and more, with one dish in particular standing out as a must-try: Datiles con Beicon, or Bacon-Wrapped Dates.
Think of them as a bacon-wrapped candy-warm, gooey, cheesy, salty, and sweet-all the things I look for in a balanced bite. Dates are a fruit that come from the date palm tree, found in California and northern Africa, and have a chewy texture with flavors of honey and syrup. With their seeds are removed, there is ample room for stuffing with a wide variety of ingredients. At Boqueria they are served stuffed with Marcona almonds and Valdeon cheese.
On Sunday, I recreated these tasty tapas wonders, using goat cheese and toasted almonds as my filling. They are simple to make and can be prepared in advance. And, as proved in my house, they will be gobbled up in a flash. With awards season and super bowl parties approaching, these are the perfect appetizer to please any crowd.

La Mantovana
La Mantovana or "Il Ballo di Mantova" (Mantua Dance) is a popular sixteenth-century song attributed to the Italian tenor Giuseppe Cenci, also known as Giuseppino del Biado, (d. 1616)[1] to the text "Fuggi, Fuggi, Fuggi da questo cielo". Its earliest known appearance in print is in Biado's collection of madrigals of the year 1600. The melody, later also known as Ballo di Mantova and Aria di Mantova, gained a wide popularity in Renaissance Europe, being recorded variously as the Scottish My mistress is prettie, the Flemish Ik zag Cecilia komen, the Polish Pod Krakowem, the Spanish Virgen de la Cueva and the Ukrainian Kateryna Kucheryava. It is best known as the melody of Bedřich Smetana's Vltava and of the Israeli national anthem Hatikvah.
Appearances in classical music[edit]
"La Mantovana" appears in "Il Scolaro" by Gasparo Zanetti, 1645, as "Ballo di Mantua" in "Duo Tessuti con diversi Solfeggiamenti, Scherzi, Perfidie et Oblighi" by Giuseppe Giamberti in 1657, and as "An Italian Rant" in John Playford's "Dancing Master".
"Fuggi, fuggi, dolente cor," a version of the madrigal setting, provides the source material for Biagio Marini's 1655 trio sonata in G minor (Op. 22, "Sonata Sopra 'Fuggi dolente core'").[2]
Camille Saint-Saëns quotes this tune in the third movement of Rhapsodies sur des cantiques bretons, Op. 7.
The melody was also then famously used by the Czech composer Bedřich Smetana in his symphonic poem Vltava (The Moldau) from his cycle celebrating Bohemia, Má vlast:
Jewish immigrant Samuel Cohen from Moldavia adapted a Romanian version of the song as the setting for Hatikvah, later recognized by the state of Israel as its national anthem.[3]
|Fuggi Fuggi Fuggi da questo cielo
Aspro e duro spietato gelo
Tu che tutto imprigioni e leghi
Né per pianto ti frangi o pieghi
fier tiranno, gel de l'anno
fuggi fuggi fuggi là dove il Verno
su le brine ha seggio eterno.
tu del mondo sei maraviglia
Tu nemica d'amare noie
Dà all'anima delle gioie
messagger per Primavera
tu sei dell'anno la giovinezza
tu del mondo sei la vaghezza.
Primavera d'amor presaga
Odi Zefiro che t'invita
e la terra che il ciel marita
al suo raggio venga Maggio
vieni con il grembo di bei fioretti,
Vien su l'ale dei zefiretti.
|Flee, flee, flee from this sky,
harsh and unyielding, relentless and freezing.
You, who shackle all in prison
neither bending nor breaking in tears.
You, the year's cruel, frozen tyrant,
flee, flee, flee to wherever the eternal winter
places its throne over the frost.
You are a marvel for the world
and the nemesis of all things dreary.
Give joy to the soul
through your message of spring.
You are the youth of the year
and the beauty of the world.
spring of foreboding love.
Odes of Zephyrus that invite you,
and the earth that marries the sky;
May May come at its ray,
come with your lap of beautiful little flowers,
come on the wings of little Zephyrus.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Oliver North, the controversial figure in the Iran-Contra Affair during the presidency of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, will be speaking in Huntsville in November.
North, now an author and commentator on Fox News, will be the keynote speaker at the Madison County Young Republicans Chairman's Dinner on Nov. 1 at the Davidson Center for Space Exploration.
North was serving as a decorated lieutenant colonel in the Marines during the Iran-Contra Affair scandal - which involved illegally selling arms to Iran and funding the Nicaraguan Contras. North was eventually indicted on 16 counts for his role in the scandal and convicted on three counts. But the convictions were eventually overturned.
North has since written 13 best-selling books, is a syndicated columnist and is the host of "War Stories" on Fox News, according to the biography on his website. North also serves on the board of directors of the National Rifle Association and is the founder of Freedom Alliance, a foundation providing college scholarships to the sons and daughters of U.S. military personnel killed in the line of duty.
The dinner and program will begin at 7 p.m., preceded by a VIP reception and photo opportunity at 6. General admission tickets are $150 per person and sponsorships are available.

A piping plover and chick.
By Joshua Balling
(June 3, 2014) The Trustees of Reservations, which oversees much of Great Point and the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge along with the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, has announced that Great Point has been closed to vehicle traffic at marker four, near the two small cottages close to the point due to nesting piping plovers, a threatened bird species.
Steve Nicolle of the Trustees said he expects one nest to hatch Wednesday, with three more nests to hatch soon, at which point the vehicle restriction will likely be moved back to marker three near the beginning of The Galls.
Piping plovers are small, sand-colored birds who often nest and hatch near vehicle tracks, and are very difficult to spot with the naked eye.
Check back to www.ack.net regularly for additional closing updates, and pick up Thursday's Inquirer and Mirror for more on beach driving as the summer season gets underway.

RioFilme backs boxing biopic
In a sign of the burgeoning muscle of the Brazilian film industry, Rio de Janeiro-based RioFilme has invested reals 3 million ($1.8 million) in "10 Seconds," the story of Brazilian boxer Eder Jofre.
The equity investment is the largest that RioFilme has ever made in a single film.
The highly active state fund has also launched an investment fund, Funcine Rio 1, which has attracted $10 million worth of investment.
Inducted into the Intl. Hall of Fame, Jofre is considered to be among the greatest bantamweights who ever boxed.
Bruno Silveira, director of huge Brazilian B.O. hit "Two Sons of Francisco," will produce. Chico Abreia helms from his own script; Walter Carvalho ("Central Station") will be d.p.
"Seconds" will shoot second semester.
The dramatic arc of Jofre's story shows him becoming world champion, being defeated and then coming back, "influenced by his father, his mentor and nemesis," said Riofilme director-president Sergio Sa Leitao.
RioFilme will co-produce and has bought Brazilian domestic and international rights.
"We are trying to shape projects that have an international appeal right from their beginning," said Sa Leitao.
Launched in January, Funcine Rio 1 will operate over 2011-12. Sa Leitao told Daily Variety he hoped Funcine Rio 1 would raise a final $20 million.
Riofilme has also taken equity positions in feature spinoffs from animated TV series "Fishtronaut," "My Big, Big Friend" and "31 Minutes."
"It's really hard to compete with American family films, but we can play off successful TV product," Sa Leitao said.

Comments about Evans Hydraulic Bass Drumhead:
I've been a professional drummer-musician since 1981 playing for a living a large part of the last 30 years.
These heads on a kick that's being played open are great.(no muffling or pillow)
I used the black hydraulics for the resonant side as well as the batter. Big fat BOOM!The oil gives the heads a nice controlled sound.
The kick drums I've used these on are a Yamaha Recording Custom 22x14 and a Tama Rockstar laquered purple fade kick 22x18. The Yamaha was incredible sounding, the Tama was ok at best.
I don't know if it's me but the blue heads don't sound as good as the black ones. Especially the old black ones from the 90's.....maybe it's just me but, I really don't think they are the same for some reason. Even though they state they are, maybe it's just coincidence or all in the psycological appeal of the color black.
Try'em on a high end kick drum....I think you'll find they're interesting at the very least.
It's worth a try.

Comments about Evans Hydraulic Bass Drumhead:
Nice durable heads. I used on an all birch Mapex kit. Loved them. Will buy again when I go back to acoustic from electric.
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Bass Drumhead:
Previously I had super kick heads with built in muffle ring. I wanted a deep sound but the old heads didn't offer enough clarity, especially when trying to do double bass fills. The hydraulic heads offer the deep sound, but nice and loud. I really dig these heads.
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Bass Drumhead:
I had this head on my Pearl EX 22 x 18" bass drum and wasn't really ever pleased with it. I tensioned it high, low, and everywhere else inbetween. I couldn't get the bass I wanted like on the Aquarian SuperKick II I have now. It's just too punchy. Maybe if your in a jazz band with a 20" bass drum it'd sound good, but not-so-much for rock. It's pretty durable though, I must say.
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Bass Drumhead:
this is one of the best bass drumheads in on the market its very good for bands such as Eagals,Pink Floyd,Skenerd,ect.
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Bass Drumhead:
I bought them, and hated them. I would much rather see people using Remo Pinstripes, or the Evans Genera G2s. I get tired of hearing how good these are. They make good resonant heads, but so do any other ok head. Don't use as a batter. They mark extremely easily, and are pretty much just for looks.

Hot rods roll in
They're back. Hot rods. Muscle cars. Antique automobiles. Souped-up racers.
Those dreamy machines and more will roll back into town Friday during the first CruiseTown Erie 2013 event of the year.
CruiseTown, now in its fourth year, has attracted hundreds of gear heads, car nuts and local families. An average night draws about 800 people, said George Lyons, owner of Contemporary Motorcar Mercedes-Benz and Mazda.
Contemporary Motorcar is the event's sole sponsor.
Two more cruises are scheduled for July 27 and Aug. 23. This is the first year the series will include a Saturday event.
"We wanted to try a Saturday to give us more expanded hours," Lyons said. "What's really interesting is that the word has spread pretty good in car magazines online. A lot of people are driving in from 100 or more miles away."
A Saturday event will give out-of-town visitors the chance to spend more time in Erie, or perhaps make a weekend of it, he said.
But most of the attending crowd is made up of hometown supporters, Lyons said.
"It seems to be a big attraction for people of all ages from Erie. It's not just car nuts like me," he said. "It's just a feel-good event."

Prof. Mark Drumbl Contributes to Online Symposium
Washington and Lee law professor Mark Drumbl recently contributed to the online symposium Greenwalt's International Criminal Law for Retributivists. The online symposium is hosted by James G. Stewart of the University of British Columbia Law Faculty at http://jamesgstewart.com.
The symposium discusses Sasha Greenwalt's recent article, International Criminal Law for Retributivists. Professor Drumbl is joined by the article's author, Adil Haque, Rob Sloane and Meg deGuzman.
Professor Drumbl's post is entitled Adjectival Retributivism: A tale of Theory as Empath.
Prof. Mark Drumbl Speaks at Post-Conflict Justice Conference at The Hague
Washington and Lee law professor Mark Drumbl will participate at a conference this week at The Hague, the Netherlands. The conference, "Impact and Effectiveness of the International Criminal Court", will be held on December 11-12, 2014. It is sponsored by the Hague Institute for Global Justice and the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies.
Professor Drumbl will speak on a panel titled "Approaches Towards the Nexis Between Peace and Justice, Including Treatment of the Interests of Justice".
Prof. Susan Franck Publishes New Article in University of Illinois Law Review
Washington and Lee law professor Susan Franck published a new article in the University of Illinois Law Review. The article, written with Erin O'Hara O'Connor of Vanderbilt Law School, is titled "Foreign Investments and the Market for Law".
Download the full text of Professor Franck's article here.
From the abstract:
In this Article, Professors O'Hara O'Connor and Franck adapt and extend Larry Ribstein's positive framework for analyzing the role of jurisdictional competition in the law market. Specifically, the authors provide an institutional framework focused on interest group representation that can be used to balance the tensions underlying foreign investment law, including the desire to compete to attract investments and countervailing preferences to retain domestic policymaking discretion. The framework has implications for the respective roles of BITs and investment contracts as well as the inclusion and interpretation of various foreign investment provisions.
Prof. Seaman speaks at AIPLA Trade Secret Summit
Washington and Lee law professor Christopher Seaman will speak today, Friday, December 5, 2014 at the American Intellectual Property Law Association's Trade Secret Law Summit at Intel Corp. in Santa Clara, California. Professor Seaman will participate in a panel entitled "Should Trade Secrets Law be Federalized? A Debate on the Need for a Federal Civil Remedy and Its Interplay with the Uniform Trade Secrets Act."
Professor Seaman's paper, "The Case Against Federalizing Trade Secrecy" is forthcoming in the Virginia Law Review.
From the Abstract:
Trade secrecy is unique among the major intellectual property (IP) doctrines because it is governed primarily by state law. Recently, however, a number of influential actors — including legislators, academics, and organizations representing IP attorneys and owners — have proposed creating a private civil cause of action for trade secret misappropriation under federal law. Proponents assert that federalizing trade secrecy would provide numerous benefits, including substantive uniformity, the availability of a federal forum for misappropriation litigation, and the creation of a unified national regime governing IP rights.
This Article engages in the first systematic critique of the claim that federalizing trade secrecy is normatively desirable. Ultimately, it concludes that there are multiple reasons for trade secrecy to remain primarily the province of state law, including preservation of states' ability to engage in limited experimentation regarding the scope of trade secret protection and federalization's potential negative impact on the disclosure of patent-eligible inventions. Finally, it proposes an alternative approach — a modest expansion of federal courts' jurisdiction over state law trade secret claims — that can help address the issue of trade secret theft without requiring outright federalization.
Prof. Drumbl Presents at Conference at the University of Copenhagen
Washington and Lee law professor Mark Drumbl spoke at a conference last week in Denmark at the University of Copenhagen's Center for Excellence for International Courts. The conference, "New Practices of Transnational Criminal Law", was held on November 27th and 28th.
The conference focused on the creation and circulation of new practices of transnational criminal law in and between international, European and national criminal jurisdictions. Professor Drumbl presented his paper "Extracurricular International Criminal Law".
The full conference program is available here.
About 'Extracurricular International Criminal Law':
Much ink has been spilled in assessing how international criminal law informs the curriculum of domestic criminal law. Might international criminal law nonetheless, and perhaps unexpectedly, stray elsewhere in domestic law? When it comes to domestic legal practice, might international criminal law cast a somewhat longer shadow or leave a somewhat haler legacy?
This project begins to address these questions by unpacking the jurisprudential footprints of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in domestic litigation in the United States under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS). The ATS allows victims of human rights abuses to file tort-based lawsuits against their abusers for violations of the laws of nations (taken to mean customary international law). This project surveys US federal court citation to ICTR case-law and materials; discusses recent moves by US courts to restrict application of the ATS (though several cases continue); and situates references by US judges to the ICTR's work within the broader context of their citation to the jurisprudential outputs of other international penal institutions whether past or present.
This project then gestures towards a broader conversation regarding the relationship between penal law and tort law in redressing human rights abuses and the migration of international norms to the national level in different but cognate legal regimes. Also of note are the distortions that may arise when international criminal law norms become applied in extracurricular fashion. On the one hand, extracurricular circulation may ensure wider awareness and internalization of international criminal law. On the other hand, it is not assured that the content of the law thusly diffused is accurately appreciated by national judges, or is even capable of predictable appreciation, thereby threatening international law's general aspirations of doctrinal consistency, universalism, and legitimacy. Alternatively, and pithily, divergent understandings among national judges as to the substantive content of international law (as well as who is an appropriate subject thereof) may suggest no more than the appositeness of elemental insights of legal realism. The availability of international law may simply, and unromantically, accord judges another tool or device for them to achieve what they wish.
Prof. Drumbl Presents at Conference to Commemorate 25th Anniversary of the UN CRC

Palermo). Professor Franck will also participate as a panelist in a session, "Empirical & Social Scientific Approaches to IEL" with Jason Yackee (U. Wisconsin) and Jide Nzelibe (Northwestern U.). Her talk is entitled "Conflating Politics & Development? Examining Investment Treaty Arbitration Outcomes"
Professor Parella will present her work in progress, Transcommercial Institutional Legitimacy, as part of a panel on voluntary standards and regulating business for development with Sarah Dadush (Rutgers U.), Andrew Woods (U. Kentucky) and Ofer Eldar (Yale U.). Her presentation focuses on the legitimacy of private governance of international production. She examines dispute resolution between different actors in global value chains and suggests ways to improve stakeholder engagement regarding the design of these dispute resolution mechanisms. This research is part of her broader examination of global governance performed by the transnational business sector.

Scrap metals are recyclable and other materials that are left over from different types of product consumption such as parts of vehicles, building supplies and surplus materials. Though it is often confused with waste, scrap has significant monetary value in places like Glenside. Overall, the scrap industry processes tonnes of recyclable materials every year. �The proper disposal and recycling of scrap metal is done by a business or service.

LANSING -- With its bare walls, some upholstered chairs and a conference table, Gov. Rick Snyder's office is kind of like a hotel lobby without the charm.
He mentions something about needing to put some Michigan-themed art on display, but it is clear that six months after he moved in, it's still not a top priority.
His priorities are elsewhere and they are being knocked off, one by one, through a political management style Snyder calls "relentless positive action." While reaction is mixed as to whether it's all positive, the dominant view of his record so far is one of relentless action:
• The tax code's been overhauled; the budget balanced four months ahead of past practice.
• The first pieces of the education agenda he announced in April, tenure reform, could be on his desk this month. So too could a measure requiring all public employees in Michigan to pay more for their health-care benefits.
• A regulatory review aims to reconsider decades worth of rules and regulations businesses may oppose, but in some cases also favor because they bring financial benefit.
Snyder came up with the concept of "dog years" to describe the pace, seeking to cram four years of work into six months, or 182 days, which ended Friday.
It helped that he was navigating his way through a large number of new lawmakers. He also paid less deference to ideological script.
"I've been very impressed in that they've stuck with what they wanted to do and got 90 percent of what they wanted to get done, done," said Bob Emerson, a Democrat who served a quarter-century in the Legislature and was Gov. Jennifer Granholm's budget director for four.
"For a guy who came in with no experience and supposedly an amateur in dealing with the Legislature, he's done an incredibly good job of working with people. It's even hard to pick a fight with him because the perception is that he doesn't get defensive and sticks with what he wants to do."
Critics say it was easy for Snyder, given big majorities of fellow Republicans in the Legislature. But those Republicans had to cast some tough votes. Extending the income tax to some pension income was one. Cutting K-12 school funding was another.
In an interview this past week, Snyder said the aim of it all – and the second-half agenda he'll outline in the fall -- is to rebuild an employment base that cratered from Hancock to Detroit.
He intends to gauge success by how Michigan fares compared to the national average in terms of payroll employment and personal income growth after years of falling further and further behind on those measures.
"It's not just about jobs, it's about better jobs, " Snyder said, and by the end of his first term "we'll be significantly better off. I mean we're on a positive path here."
State government won't be creating the jobs, he added, "but we're creating a better environment for success. By removing those (tax and regulatory) impediments, if you let basic economics work, we should grow faster than the national average and start going higher."
Add in a talent pool he said is unsurpassed and an economic development strategy that tends first to the needs of state-based companies and Snyder said Michigan will create the best "value" for employers in the nation.
Democrats, however, say job growth since the 2009 trough is already outpacing many states and that there is no evidence a $1.6 billion business tax cut will lead to significant job creation. They point to the dozens of tax cuts of the 1990s that preceded the decade of job loss that followed.
"There are businesses that will benefit, no question," said Sen. Gretchen Whitmer of East Lansing, the Democratic leader in the Senate. "But the governor can't point to one study that says that that kind of an indiscriminate tax cut will create a job. If he could, he would."
Snyder came into office promising two things off the bat: Eliminating the Michigan Business Tax and writing a state budget that corrected the annual imbalance between revenues and spending. In doing both, he had to depart from Republican orthodoxy that far prefers budget reduction to tax increases when paying for tax cuts.
The result is significant, a $1.4 billion increase in income tax revenue from taxing pensions by varying degrees for those born after 1945, scrapping scheduled rate cuts and scaling back a variety of exemptions. It's an unprecedented shift in tax burden from the 100,000 companies that will no longer have to pay a state business tax to individuals.
Snyder said taxing business owners twice, once on their income and secondly through the MBT, was unfair and stifled job growth. Whether taxing pensions in the manner lawmakers approved is constitutional, however, awaits a ruling by the Michigan Supreme Court. Public employee retirees will argue it's not.
Also unpopular is a state budget that reduces base funding for K-12 schools by $470 per pupil, despite a $600 million surplus in a state aid fund constructed by voters through the Proposal A school-finance changes of 1994. The budget effectively takes $400 million of that surplus to help fund higher education.
Though his Democratic predecessor approved a similar, but temporary transfer, Snyder says education funding will be considered in a more comprehensive fashion to take in preschool through the first two years of college.
And even if school-aid revenue grows, local districts shouldn't count on automatic annual increases. Instead they will be rewarded for improved student performance and non-instructional cost cutting. Republican lawmakers taking heat back home may break from the governor on that, particularly as elections near next year, when pressure will grow to restore some of this year's cuts.
The House and Senate contain 90 members new to the chambers, run by large GOP majorities who came into office with the same pledge as Snyder: Improve the economy and fix a dysfunctional state government.
The difference is Snyder had detailed plans and top aides with decades of Capitol experience. They advised the new governor to act fast.
The Republican majorities he has relied upon, however, might not be there for other priorities, such as a 1-percent tax on health insurance claims to finance Medicaid health care or authorization for a new international bridge spanning the Detroit River.
For that he needs Democrats and Democrats aren't happy.
In his inaugural address and first State of the State speech, Snyder repeated a central theme of his campaign, that he would work in a non-partisan fashion.
Whitmer said she's had, at most, three meaningful conversations with the governor. She said Snyder's pledge of "bipartisanship, moving all of Michigan together and shared sacrifice" was just "rhetoric."
"I'm a big fan of Bill Milliken and when he endorsed him and I heard all of those opening speeches, I was hopeful," she said. "But it's been the same-old Republican, partisan top-down style."
If the votes on the floors of the Legislature have been partisan, however, many parts of the agenda are hardly bedrock GOP. Medicaid was largely preserved in the budget. While public employees are being asked for concessions, Democrats in other states have asked for more.
Last week's coordination of all state child care and development programs into one office within the Department of Education could make Michigan a national leader. This year's expected move to match the unemployed and underemployed with job openings in their fields is a variation on a program Granholm launched.
Detroit, Grand Rapids and Flint are critical to Michigan's economic future, Snyder says. And while he says state government isn't in the job-creation business, the state's economic development efforts are arguably more robust than they were before. Pure Michigan is now the state's unifying brand, funded with $25 million in annual advertising.
"We have tremendous asset potential, but we haven't done a great job of understanding what assets we have and optimizing them," Snyder says in the business lingo he has yet to shed in a job that requires messaging that resonates with his constituents.
Snyder's chief message is his certitude that his policies will put Michigan on the right track even if large majorities in polls still believe Michigan is headed in the wrong direction.
"I talk to lots of people and you get a lot of positive support from just average people who talk about how excited they are to see good things going on," Snyder said. "And I get a lot of people who say, 'I don't agree with everything you're doing, but I appreciate the fact that there's leadership now and we're moving forward.' "
"And then we get some people who just don't like it," he said, not sounding terribly concerned how broad that view might be.

FAO Drylands Workshop Addresses Building Resilient Forest Landscapes
28 May 2012: At an international workshop titled "Building forest landscapes resilient to global changes in drylands," participants discussed a restoration monitoring tool and shared experiences in forest restoration projects. They heard presentations on restoration efforts in the Mediterranean, Central Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
The workshop, which took place from 28-31 May 2012, in Konya, Turkey, was organized and supported by Turkey's Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs and its International Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). It was based on: the recognition that, together with desertification, climate change is an important and growing concern in drylands; and the prediction by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that climate change and desertification coupled with severe water scarcity are likely to cause a vicious circle of land degradation and forest deterioration leading to unsustainable livelihoods.
The workshop brought together some 80 forestry experts and international development partners from 24 countries who shared experiences, identified key elements of success and failure in forest restoration projects and discussed the comprehensive restoration monitoring tool, newly developed by FAO, to guide planning, implementation and evaluation of field projects and programmes.
In working groups, participants discussed: planning of forest restoration projects and their contributions to rural development; policy, governance and regulatory frameworks; production, management and transport of seeds and seedlings; and field techniques for restoration practices. The group also discussed cooperation and funding opportunities for dryland restoration projects. [Meeting Website]

Mayor Rawlings angered after council members signal support for across-the-board civilian pay raises over merit hikes
Mayor Mike Rawlings was visibly angered this morning after a majority of his City Council colleagues voiced support for a plan to give civilian employees an across-the-board 3 percent pay hike instead of merit raises in next year's budget.
"Just unbelievable," Rawlings said following the non-binding straw vote at the end of a budget briefing at City Hall.
The proposed budget allows for the use of $3.8 million toward either a 3 percent pay raise for all civilian employees, or for merit increases that would average 3 percent when distributed among civilian employees.
Rawlings and five other council members backed a plan to use the money for merit raises, arguing that the best employees should be rewarded for their superior work.
"I'm very passionate about this issue," Rawlings said prior to the vote. "I don't believe we should hire city managers if we tell them how to spend their money for employees."
The five council members who agreed with Rawlings that merit raises are the way to go were: Tennell Atkins, Lee Kleinman, Vonciel Jones Hill, Sandy Greyson and Jerry Allen.
The remaining council members voted for what they said was a cost of living increase to make up for years of cutbacks. Those council members are: Adam Medrano, Scott Griggs, Carolyn Davis, Philip Kingston, Dwaine Caraway, Sheffie Kadane, Jennifer Gates, Rick Callahan and Monica Alonzo.
Following the briefing, the mayor said he is "very disappointed in that straw vote."
"I want great people in this city," Rawlings said. "To have great people we're going to have to tell people that they're great and they're not average."
A final vote on the budget, including the pay raise issue, is set for September 18.

In a crystal, the atoms of a substance are arranged in a repeating design. The design the tiny atoms form is the same design that shows up in a large crystal.
Quartz may form crystals so small we need a microscope to see them. Or it can grow into large crystals, and then it looks clear, sparkly and pretty.
In order for crystals to form, there must be open space within the rock so crystals have room to grow. The many flat surfaces of a crystal are known as faces.
In order for crystals to grow, conditions such as temperature need to be just right. When that happens, the crystal can grow clear and shiny.
Beautiful forms
Quartz appears in many forms. Amethyst, agate, rose quartz, rock crystal and flint are some types of quartz. Sometimes, as with amethyst or rose quartz, the crystals are so large we can see them easily. But in other forms, such as flint or agate, the quartz crystals are so tiny we can't see them without a microscope.
Jewel tones
The colors in the different forms of quartz come from different elements or minerals that mix with it. For example, amethyst, or purple quartz, gets its color mostly from iron mixed with the quartz. When amethyst is heated, it can turn yellow. That type of quartz is then called citrine.

Return of a Queen
Back from the Falklands War, Captain Peter Jackson and His QE2 Savor the Good Life on the North Atlantic
As the great ship steamed majestically down the Solent, past the Isle of Wight, hundreds of sailboats and other small craft convoyed her to the Channel, tooting, whistling and signaling greetings in an outpouring of private vessels and patriotic pride like nothing since the World War II rescue of the British Army at Dunkirk. By the time QE2 rounded Wight, it was drizzling, and when she arrived in Cherbourg, the umbrellas were unfurled and hardly anybody was on hand to greet her. A lone fireboat squirted a doleful salute in the rain.
The weather was like that for the rest of the five-day voyage—raining, overcast, foggy, with seas that rolled and churned. Only one morning did the sun come out briefly. But nothing could dampen spirits aboard the famous liner. There was something for every taste: gambling that ranged from bingo in the Queens Room to roulette in the casino; nightclub spectacles that changed every night, and Annie on the movie screen; a nursery replete with English nannies for stashing the kids; boutiques to shop in, seven bars that never seemed to shut, and four elegant restaurants with sumptuous menus. It was still a metropolis afloat. In 40 days she had been requisitioned by the British government for service in the Falkland Islands crisis, stripped of all her finery, converted into an austere troopship and sent off on her historic dash to the South Atlantic with 3,500 combat troops aboard, and finally returned to her home port and owners. After nine feverish weeks and more than $10 million worth of refurbishing and updating, QE2 rejoined the passenger fleet in time to catch the last half of the lucrative tourist "high season."
Veteran travelers on the liner had a hard time recognizing the old girl. From her formerly white smokestack—now painted red and black, the traditional Cunard Line colors—to her hull—a pale shade of gray where she had once been black—the great ship looked different. Inside, the changes were even more profound. Most of the 17 miles of bulkhead-to-bulkhead carpeting had been replaced. Several of the public rooms had been completely redecorated. Some seemed transformed: The Club Lido (née the Q4 Room) will eventually be incorporated with the adjacent swimming pool under a glass dome; the casino is renamed the Players Club and bristles with new slot machines. In the depths of the ship's hold, an erstwhile Turkish bath had been converted into a floating fat farm, a branch of the famous and pricey Escondido, Calif. Golden Door spa, with Jacuzzi whirlpool baths, a sauna and two heated pools. The classes of the Golden Door were not confined to the lower regions of QE2 but were everywhere to be seen, with weight watchers performing their calisthenics and aerobic dances. On a ship that prides itself on the lavishness of its food and drink (morning bouillon, high tea and midnight supper are regularly served each day, in addition to the customary three squares), a weight-reducing program seemed an anomaly.
The QE2 chuffed off from the French coast with a capacity population of 1,500 passengers and 1,000 crew. Among those aboard were some old hands, including Dr. Peale, 84, and his wife of 52 years, Ruth, 75, who were making their second trip as members of the ship's company: He paid for his passage with a Sunday sermon and a lecture and spent most of his time in his stateroom cramming his autobiography with positive thoughts. Prince Nikita Romanoff, in his late 50s, a New York-based businessman and great-nephew of Russia's last czar, with his Oklahoma-born Princess, Janet Anne, 40ish, and their son, Theodore, 7, were making their seventh crossing aboard QE2 after a visit with his mother in France. They were traveling modestly, by QE2 standards, in "Transatlantic Class," a euphemism for second class. (Fares aboard QE2 range from $1,095 double-occupancy in the off-peak seasons to $20,270 for one of the five split-level "penthouses" for four which were mostly occupied on the trip by a Saudi princeling and his large retinue.)
The saltiest veteran of the voyage, though, and something of a mascot for QE2, was Mrs. L. Kirk ("Lulu") Edwards, 62, who has made more than 30 trips on the liner. A convivial grandmother, the daughter of a former vice-president of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, she had often traveled the Atlantic sea-lanes but fell for the QE2 10 years ago when she gave her second husband a round-trip ticket as a Christmas present. Nowadays Lulu is welcomed aboard with ovations from the crew, gives cocktail parties for the officers after Sunday church services (one irreverent chaplain calls them "The Thirst After Righteousness"), and is given the job of marking up the bets for the Tote, which is the ship's pool to guess the daily mileage covered.
Presiding over this remarkable seagoing resort is a short, cool seaman who, as skipper of Cunard's flagship, ranks as the line's Senior Master. At 60, Capt. Peter Jackson has spent 44 years at sea. "I went to sea because I was interested in travel," he says. "My first interest as a boy was in railways, but then I discovered that railways end at the coast." At 14, he was taken to an English port city, where he saw ships from all over the world, and thereupon decided to be a sailor. "At 16," he reports, "I joined a ship and went to China and Japan." After serving as a midshipman on cargo vessels, he graduated to the big passenger liners, and has sailed with every Cunarder of his time except the Scythia. He was navigator aboard the two dowagers that preceded QE2, the Queen Mary and the first Queen Elizabeth, and, during World War II service in the Royal Navy, survived the sinking of his ship by a German U-boat. (He was rescued, oddly, by another future skipper of the QE2, Capt. Robert Harry Arnott.)
The highlight of Captain Jackson's maritime career, like that of the QE2 herself, was of course the Falkland Islands campaign. "The British flag would not be flying over the Falklands today," he says, "were it not for this great ship. Ultimately it would be flying there, but we would still be fighting a protracted war if not for the 3,500 troops who were brought in by this ship." News of the British government's conscription of the Queen, which was returning from a world cruise last May 3, was unexpected. "We were all very surprised," Captain Jackson recalls. "The news did not reach the ship until the day before she got into Southampton." Once in port, though, the conversion to troopship was effected in a brisk eight days, even though "it involved 300 tons of steelwork, and we landed all of the ship's soft furniture, including five grand pianos." Captain Jackson, an accomplished pianist, was especially sorry to part with the pianos. Also ashore went a half ton of caviar, 17,000 bottles of champagne and other wines, and a botanical garden of potted plants. In their place came prefab helicopter pads fitted over the outdoor swimming pools, 5,000 sheets of particle board to cover the carpeting, 20,000 cases of beer, and food supplies sufficient to last 90 days. Also up the gangway came 3,500 riflemen of the British Fifth Infantry Brigade, made up of Welsh Guards, Scots Guards and the fearsome Ghurka mercenaries of Nepal, who were guaranteed one curry meal a day in their contract with the Ministry of Defense. "The soldiers were in very fine physical condition, and they carried 60-pound packs," observes Jackson. But the sheer weight of the troops spelled ruin for the carpet and decks of the QE2.
Although the Ministry of Defence assigned a naval officer to be the titular master of the QE2 while she was on Her Majesty's service, there was never any question about who would guide the ship to her rendezvous with history. Peter Jackson was in command during the whole 26-day sortie. He was accompanied by 640 of his crewmen, all volunteers, and he was on the bridge during the entire voyage, periodically stepping into his cubbyhole alcove for a nap. Even then, he was roused "whenever there were two or three echoes on the radar, from unidentified submarines. We would alter course and get away from those ominous echoes."
The ship's course was set not for the Falklands but for Cumberland Bay, 800 miles to the east, off South Georgia Island, a bleak, virtually uninhabited British possession that had been retaken from the occupying Argentine troops. "If we had taken her into the Falklands," says Jackson flatly, "the ship would not be here today." After reaching Ascension Island in mid-Atlantic, where Maj. Gen. Jeremy Moore, the overall commander of the British ground forces, helicoptered aboard, says Jackson, "we took a secret route. The Argentinians were looking for us." Two Argentine submarines were known to be seeking QE2, and while Argentine aircraft were incapable of flying to South Georgia and back, the possibility of a one-way suicide attack was not ruled out.
"We had no escort—no ship was fast enough to keep up with us. We had no air cover. Once we got into the hostile area we fitted up a gun emplacement on each wing of the bridge with two five-inch Browning automatics. There was no real defense. Of course we did have more than 3,000 rifles aboard, and they could have given an airplane some trouble." In the end, foul weather and, ironically for a direct descendant of the Titanic, icebergs proved to be the best defenses for QE2. The overcast sky prevented the ship from being discovered from the air, and pursuing Argentine subs did not dare venture into the ice fields. En route, the ship made two or three secret rendezvous with tankers to refuel at sea—something that had never been attempted before. Finally, 15 days after leaving England, "we crept into South Georgia on an absolutely black night. There was no moon, and it was snowing. We anchored exactly on the designated spot, in 360 feet of water."
The sea was dead calm. The navy decided to disembark the troops immediately. But another hazard suddenly arose in the form of a 60-mph gale. It parted the lines of the trawlers, which clustered around the Queen to carry the men to the ships that would ferry them to the Falklands. With her own hawsers, and in the teeth of the storm, the liner-troopship managed to offload the 3,500 troops (39 of them, all Welsh Guardsmen, later died in battle), plus 2,000 tons of equipment, ammunition and food. Then 650 survivors of the ships Coventry, Ardent and Antelope, all casualties of the Argentine air assault, were taken aboard. The whole operation took place in less than two days. Then it was full steam for England.
Back safely in her home berth, the Queen showed signs of combat fatigue. The carpet coverings had been no match for the heavy boots of jogging soldiers. There were diesel stains on the wooden decks. "The ship suffered," admits Skipper Jackson, "but there was not one instance of deliberate damage." It took nearly nine times as long to restore and modernize QE2 as it took to strip her for war.
When the refurbished Queen steamed into New York Harbor after five days and nights of revelry, even the weather joined in the celebration. On a glorious August morning the city outdid itself welcoming QE2. Swarms of helicopters swooped like dragonfiies around her. Traffic on the Verazzano-Narrows Bridge beeped in salute, and on the pier a band of Scottish pipers wheezed out a welcome to the captain and his Scottish lady, Pamela Jackson. (Their married daughter, Marilyn, did not make the trip.) It was the beginning of the last hurrah for Peter Jackson, for he will retire next January 17, after 11 more transatlantic runs and 10 cruises at the helm of the Queen.
And what of the Queen Elizabeth 2 herself? Although the refurbishing she has undergone has brought her abreast of the times, it will not prolong her life. "They have not renewed her boilers and plumbing," says Captain Jackson, "and that is what determines her life." At the age of 13, QE2 is entering into middle age for ocean liners, which have a life expectancy of 25 years. "I think, fair enough, that she is halfway through her life," says Jackson. Will the world ever see her like again? No, he says. "It would cost $350 million to replace her." The Lord Matthews, chairman of the Cunard Line, concurs. Speaking aboard QE2 on the day she set sail for the U.S., he said, "It would cost too much to build another. Passenger ships of a different kind will always be with us, but not on this scale."

Record year for car sales in Brazil, but production was down 1.9% in 2012
Brazil, the world's fourth largest car market, sold a record 3.8 million vehicles last year, according to industry data released this week. Brazil's National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (ANFAVEA) reported that sales were up 4.6% on the previous year despite a 1.9% drop in production, the first decline since 2002.
ANFAVEA forecast continued growth of between 3.5% and 4.5% in 2013.
Although overall sales were up, auto exports took a big hit last year, falling 20.1%, from 553.000 vehicles in 2011 to 442.100 last year, the association said.
Industry officials said a troubled global market, especially in Europe, could lead to another overseas sales drop in 2013.
In 2011, Brazil was the world's seventh largest car manufacturer after China, Japan, the United States, Germany, South Korea and India.
Latest data from December show that Brazilian auto production plunged more than expected, which contributed to the first annual decline in output in a decade. Auto production in Brazil fell 14% in December from November, Anfavea reported.
Determined to stir Brazil's economy from a stubborn slump, President Dilma Rousseff has aimed aggressive stimulus at the auto industry, which contributes one-fifth of the country's industrial output.
Sales have jumped but production has responded more tepidly to the temporary measures, reinforcing calls for deeper-reaching labour and tax reforms.
Auto sales rose 15.3% in December from November as consumers took advantage of tax incentives before the government begins to faze them out this year.
In May, Rousseff announced an emergency tax break for the auto industry, reducing prices for consumers by around 7%. Payroll tax cuts have also eased operating costs for Brazilian manufacturers and kept unemployment near historic lows.
But with productivity sliding and some incentives set to expire, carmakers have been hesitant to ramp up production and bet heavily on a sustained recovery.
The biggest car brands in Brazil: Italy's Fiat SpA, Germany's Volkswagen AG and US-based General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co, have fought to keep a combined 70% market share, with mixed results.
Fiat and VW extended their first- and second-place leads in 2012, increasing sales of cars and light trucks 11% and 10% respectively. Third-place GM and fourth-place Ford saw market share slip, as their sales grew 2% and 3% respectively, slower than the rest of the market.

I am struggling with the making of it.
1. I have been using a blender and it is still a liquid. Is it suppose to be a liquid?
2. I can't find the butter that is suggested, I just use the Wal Mart brand without salt. Is this ok?
3. I haven't ordered the MCT. How important is it to have this?
Can buy what I need to make it, as far as the blender thingy I need goes, at Wal Mart or Target? If so, would someone post a picture of what I need? I am thinking my blender isn't going to do it.
This link should answer your questions: Recipe: How to Make Your Coffee Bulletproof...And Your Morning Too | The Bulletproof Executive
hot coffee + butter = liquid.
Blender should not matter. Anything that helps incorporate the butter into the coffee and makes a frothy head seems to fit the description.
MCT is listed as optional. Perhaps the site can tell you what the point of it is.
Grass fed butter is important according to the link. It explains why. Wal-mart butter =/= grass fed.

Miranda Lambert knows her fiancé well enough to know that he's unpredictable. So CBS, consider yourself warned when Blake Shelton co-hosts the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday.
"I told CBS, my advice for you is a 3-second delay because you never know what's going to come out of his mouth, and you might not want that on live TV," Lambert told PEOPLE during rehearsals Friday.
Shelton is nervous about co-hosting the event with Reba McEntire, but his real life leading lady is confident that he'll shine. "He's so quick and so great at adlibbing," said Lambert, "probably too good at adlibbing."
The night could potentially be huge for Lambert, who will performing her latest single, "Heart Like Mine," and is nominated for seven ACM awards, including the coveted entertainer of the year award.
"Maybe I'm just being humble, and I don't think I should take it home yet because you have someone like Brad Paisley who is doing stadiums now and I'm not there yet," she said. "But it is up to the fans, so if I did win that would be awesome. But if not, I know I have tons of work under my belt, but I know I still have more to go."
Fellow entertainer of the year nominee Jason Aldean, who is also up for male vocalist of the year, said he is hopeful about his chances, but he's simply letting the chips fall where they may.
"I learned a long time ago that these things are kind of out of your hands. Am I hopeful, yeah. It would be great to win one, if not both, of those awards, but I also understand all you can do is do your thing," he said. "If it's my time for these things and it happens, it happens. If that time comes, I'll be excited. I'm excited to finally get a few nominations. If we happen to pull one home I'll be ecstatic."
The ACM Awards will air Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Woo hoo! We have drama with bad airplane choices - yesss! I get to see Chippendales Jaymes and James in bathing suits and bow ties! And the twins are blessedly barely speaking to each other! It's Moscow, baby. And no, they didn't re-do the Russian state library in English just for a bunch of furriners.
HOLD ON THERE, MISSY. DON'T BE ORDERING MONOGRAMMED TOWELS JUST YET: Lexi and Trey have been dating for quite a while, but with him being a football player and her being a cheerleader they almost never see each other. Hey, that's what they said. I just report. Anyhoo, Lexi says this has been great and they've gotten a lot stronger as a couple and oh, by the way, she wouldn't say no to a ring. Trey's headband's too tight and I'm not sure he got such subtle hints.
FOOD OR FLIGHT PLAN? When Trey and Lexi can't figure out how to book a flight to Moscow, they find a Popeye's chicken in the airport and order red beans and rice. They're still wandering around clueless when the twins get there and push them toward the right airline counter.
FLIGHTY BEHAVIOR: The Chippies and the rockers book a flight that goes through Amsterdam and hits Moscow at two in the morning. Buddies Trey & Lexi and Nadiya & Natalie order up a flight that goes through Munich and arrives at 4:00 a.m. and talk about Abbie's crazy eyes. A snide Ryan belittles Team Texas, calling them babies for not being able to get from point A to point B without help. He then promptly books a flight that gives him one hour to change planes in Frankfort before a scheduled 4 o'clock landing in Moscow. The Fabulous Beekmans can't decide which flight to take and flip a coin. Oops. Through Frankfort it is.
WHAT A SMOOTH FLIGHT; IT DOESN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE WE'RE MOVING: The ill-fated Frankfort flight is delayed one hour in Turkey which means...Team We Think We're Better Than Everyone Else and the Beekman Boys have three minutes to make their connecting flight andthereitgoes. They're not going anywhere until the next day. I feel bad for Brent and Josh. The teams make a pact to finish the rest of the leg together and I'm convinced that's so Ryan & Abbie can keep them in sight and shove the guys over and pass them at the Pit Stop. I mean, hello - they took advantage of a woman with one leg to win the first Pit Stop.
DETOUR: Back in Moscow, the other teams have figured out that the goat farmers and the mouthy ones are stuck somewhere and enjoy having a little pressure off. The Detour choices involve finding four books in a library or learning a synchronized swimming routine.
ALPHABETIZED: Those books in the library? Yeah, none of that is in English. Teams get a list of books and need to find four of them - first in the card catalog and then on the bookshelf. That list, those cards and those bookshelves are all in Cyrillic which just looks like a bunch of meaningless symbols to those of us who do not speak Cyrillic. Abba &James punt and switch tasks but Lexi & Trey use their noggins and make it through.
SYNCHRONIZED: My weekend just got a whole lot better. I mean, I'm still majorly bummed about my Crimson Tide, but - Jaymes and James are coming out of the locker room wearing bathing suits, their trademark Chippendale collars and bow ties and some festive floral swim caps. See Jenjo smile. They are clearly used to learning a choreographed routine but performing it in the water is more challenging. After several "nyets" from the Russian judge, the guys finally get a thumbs up.
DISHARMONY: Twinnies Nadiya and Natalie are having a bad leg. They had a hard time getting a cab - because they are brown, they believe - and now the instructor is telling them what to do in Russian. They toy with the idea of using their Express Pass and skipping the task but the Chips encourage them not to waste it and to give it another couple of shots. Good advice, as they finally thaw the judge with their little flipper kicks and tumbles. Oh, and who among us was taken aback to learn that the twins have apparently sailed through life by relying on their personalities? I'm guessing people give them what they want to get some peace from the nails-on-a-chalkboard voices.
WELL. I'M SURE THEY LOOKED BETTER IN THEIR PRIME: The rockers show up and aren't nearly as adorable in their swimmies, but hey - it's not a beauty contest. (But if it was, Jaymes and James would totally win.) One look at Abba James and the judge is subtitled with "I'm already afraid!" Muuuuch later, they get their next clue. And innocent Russian synchronized swimmers will never be the same.
LOCKS OF LOVE: Don't worry, the rockers' hair is safe. Teams find the trees of love - trees covered in hundreds of locks - and they have to sort through billions of keys to unlock 10 of them to get the next clue. Lexi thinks it's so romantic with ALL OF THE WEDDINGS GOING ON and Trey is thinking of tightening his headband. And what the heck with that wedding dress that scooped up in the front like the entrance to a snow cave?! Hard to tell how long it took each team, but the twins are still there after the Texans and the Chips and they're squabbling, calling each other names and barely speaking.
REALLY? AFTER ONE CLOSE CALL YOU DON'T STRAP ALL OF YOUR STUFF TO YOUR VERY PERSON? While Team Rock ponders the locks, their cabbie apparently drives off with all of their stuff. Well, not ALL of it. Seems that James has his passport still but Abba does not. Dun dun DUN!!! I like the guys but am not able to drum up much sympathy - I mean, have they never seen this show?
WASTING AWAY IN WARSAW: Team Superiority Complex and Team Goat are bemoaning the fact that they're waaay behind, like half a day. They agree to stick together and it was nice to see Ryan & Abbie stick to that, waiting for the Beekman Boys even though Brent was swallowing water at the swimming pool. I still think they plan to shove the Boys over a cliff on the way to the Mat.
PIT STOP: Team Texas wins another leg, the Chippendales finally finish 2nd, friends-again twinnies come in third, but they're not happy about it. Abba & James drag in fourth and Phil, who has spies everywhere, senses that they don't have their passports and he can't check them in until they find them. Oh, and...
TO BE CONTINUED: What the what?! I cannot believe they did that to us. On the other hand, they WERE going to have to wrap everything up in about 3 minutes, so I should have known. Since Abbie & Ryan were in the preview for next week, I wonder if that means that the gentle goat farmers have finally come to the end of their road?
