New York Times (we covered the Sunday Franzen cover review ahead of time last week):
- Kakutani on The Thousand by Kevin Guilfoile: "It's hard to imagine that a novelist could lift such elements from several of the best-known best sellers of recent years and turn them into something original and gripping, but that's exactly what Mr. Guilfoile has done in 'The Thousand.' Though there's some ridiculous mumbo jumbo about the secret society at the heart of the novel, though some of the complicated plot points end up not making a whole lot of sense, the book is jet-fueled by its author's unerring sense of character and his nimble, fleet-footed prose."
- Jim Krusoe on Meeks by Julia Holmes: "'Meeks' is a wild, woolly, sly, gentle and wry first novel by Julia Holmes, as well as the name of one of the book's two main characters, a park bum with delusions of grandeur.... 'Meeks' isn't one of those books a reader snuggles next to for a pleasant trip to the mostly familiar. It's more like having a dream where everything starts off well enough, and then, without quite knowing why, you're being chased. It's a book whose singular vision keeps returning to me at odd moments, one of the most original and readable novels that's come my way in a long time."
- Mark Harris on Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward, Professor, Tattoo Artist, and Sexual Renegade by Justin Spring: "Given that Steward lived in an era in which so much of gay history was hidden under mattresses, shoved in the backs of bureau drawers, burnt up in ashtrays and wished away in confessional booths, his desire to document and preserve is in itself as moving as it is rare. Demystification, however, is another matter: his life turns out to have been far too sui generis to exemplify anything except the fact that so much more was going on in gay America than even most gay Americans realized."
- Robin Romm on The Pain Chronicles by Melanie Thernstrom: "'The Pain Chronicles' is an expansive, invigorating mix of medical reportage, history, memoir and cultural criticism... Yes, some people, including Thernstrom herself, learn to manage medication or train their brains to modulate the perception of pain through neuroimaging. Their successes, recounted so meticulously here, will surely prove useful to others. But 'The Pain Chronicles' is no mere self-help manual. It's a sophisticated, elegantly compiled treatise — as wide-ranging, complex and defiant as pain itself."
- Terrence Rafferty on Shirley Jackson: Novels and Stories from the Library of America: "A lot of writers, both in and out of the horror genre, know how to create a sense of dread. What makes Jackson's sensibility so distinctive is that her brand of dread tends to be self-aware and even, at times, self-amused. There's often a tinge of embarrassment to her characters' fear, simply because it's so tenuous, so apparently sourceless: they can't tell if what's troubling them is something or nothing."
- Maslin on True Prep by Lisa Birnbach: "'True Prep: It's a Whole New Old World,' [is] a surprisingly worthwhile sequel to the now-creaky 'Handbook.' This new compendium moves beyond school days to address matters newly relevant for the core readership: how to remarry, how to dress for a funeral and how to deal with the collateral damage caused by decades' worth of the party-hearty behavior described in the first book."
Washington Post:
- Carolyn See on Growing Up Jung by Micah Toub: "There's nothing more endearing than a family memoir in which the author is actually fond of his family. It's rare; it's close to miraculous. If a person wants to write about his youth and his parents, it's usually because he has scores to settle. Affection turns the whole thing into a miracle.... I hated to see this book end. I loved every person in it, from the wistful dad with his 'fluffy-edged' voice, to Toub's kind and darling mom, his tolerant and loving ex-wife, even that volcanic teenaged sister, who refused to tell stories about the ceiling. 'Growing Up Jung' is a gem."
- Jess Walter on Skippy Dies by Paul Murray: "If killing your protagonist with more than 600 pages to go sounds audacious, it's nothing compared with the literary feats Murray pulls off in this hilarious, moving and wise book. Recently named to the Man Booker Prize long list, 'Skippy Dies' is an epic crafted around, of all things, a pack of 14-year-old boys. It's the 'Moby-Dick' of Irish prep schools."
- Sy Montgomery on The Tiger by John Vaillant: "To those of us who love the embattled cat, 'The Tiger' offers the emotional satisfaction of Quentin Tarantino's film 'Kill Bill' -- with the tiger in the role of Uma Thurman's vengeful bride. But the characters in this book, both human and tigrine, are more nuanced.... Vaillant's book teaches a lesson that humankind desperately needs to remember: When you murder a tiger, you not only kill a strong and beautiful beast, you extinguish a passionate soul."
- And then there's Ron Charles, who has indeed turned his mixed review of Franzen's Freedom (which I linked to last week) into his second video book review. In this case, thanks to some funny homemade effects and a camera-ready subject, I think video beats print:
Los Angeles Times:
- Carolyn Kellogg on Three Delays by Charlie Smith: "Billy and Alice are a tripped-out Scott and Zelda, a Jane Austen romance via Hunter S. Thompson, a Romeo and Juliet on the burned-out edge of the baby boom.... This fictional relationship, like those in real life, ultimately excludes those not a part of it. There is no effort to seduce the reader; Billy tells us how deeply he knows Alice, but we can't go there with him. Coupled with the unimportant plot and unclear chronology, the refrain of this relationship fails, at times, to carry the book's weight. Luckily, there is Charlie Smith's engulfing prose, full of surprises and possibility, to lift it up. Which it does."
- Marion Winik on Guilfoile's The Thousand: "If you like Scott Turow, Stan Lee, Dan Brown, or Michael Crichton, then you are in the target audience for Kevin Guilfoile's novel 'The Thousand.' Unfortunately, like smoked duck ravioli with wasabi-tomatillo sauce, Guilfoile has fallen under the sway of one influence too many."

It may be as simple as this. Michael Vick just may be Andy Reid's midlife crisis.
Consider: In his 12 seasons as head coach of the Eagles, Andy Reid has made three major decisions that seemed completely out of character. Two of the three involve Vick: signing him in August 2009, then naming Vick the starting quarterback after he managed the task of beating the Detroit Lions last Sunday.
(The other, for those keeping score at home, was the pursuit of Terrell Owens back in 2004. That was mold-breaking for two reasons. Reid hadn't previously acquired a player with Owens' track record for disrupting a team, and he hadn't previously shown interest in a wide receiver who could actually play.)

HONOLULU (AP) --- Coming off a 7-7 season, including a one-sided Hawaii Bowl loss to Notre Dame, the University of Hawaii football team is facing an overhaul of its defense.
Gone are 10 starters, including linebacker and Western Athletic Conference co-defensive player of the year Solomon Elimimian.
''I've never had a team where there's only one guy back with game experience,'' said UH coach Greg McMackin. ''But we're practicing very well. They're very hungry to learn. They're picking things up very fast. Their attitude is great. We're really paying attention to the details, and the players are focusing in on that. It's really fun to coach, and the players are really working hard.''
The lone full-time starter still around is senior linebacker John Fonoti, who had 62 tackles last year, including 3 1/2 sacks.
The new defense's growing pains were evident during the spring.
Vaughn Meatoga, a sophomore who is expected to start this season, seemed disgusted when he recalled that the team's defensive line mustered barely enough sacks to ''count them on one hand'' throughout spring practice. In the annual spring game in late April, the offenses combined for 48 points in the first half and recorded three touchdown passes longer than 50 yards.

''We didn't have that chemistry,'' McMackin said. ''Everyone was trying to get their own job. I think now in the fall, guys are finding their position, starting to play next to guys and there's more of a teamness and a oneness. For about the last week, they've really come together. We've been getting turnovers. We've been making plays.''
McMackin said Meatoga was the team's ''best tackle'' last season as a redshirt freshman.
Warriors linebacker Brashton Satele will not play this season because of an injured left shoulder.
''Coming into this year, our defense is always getting overlooked,'' said linebacker R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane. ''I think this year we're working hard in establishing ourselves as a defense. I feel comfortable with these guys. There are a lot of good players. We've just got to get ready.''
The depth chart is still very much unresolved, but at this point in camp, having players fight for positions is not necessarily a bad thing.
''Competition makes great football teams,'' McMackin said.

This year's Geneva Motor show may have probably housed the introduction of the newest Japanese SUVs made specifically for the European market. Not to be outdone in the competition, Honda also launched the European spec for the CRV crossover. The car won't be in the showrooms of UK until the autumn of 2012, but enthusiasts couldn't help but speculate on what is in store for the car lovers of Europe.
Despite the persistence of those who couldn't wait to lay their eyes on the car, Honda remains tightlipped with limited giveaway information on their newest development. Enthusiasts are only left with a promise that the European prototype of the CRV takes on a more aggressive stance along with deeper sculpting of the body lines that goes well with a bolder front fascia. Aesthetics wise, the lower front bumper will be wrapped smartly upward to exude an SUV capability with the lower front bumper integrating seamlessly into the fascia for an enhanced aerodynamics.
That's about it. Not another word about the details of this ride.
Experts who are intrigued by this cliff hanger then simply contain themselves with the photos of the European CRV that shows not much change from the US equivalent, except that the D-pillar is especially raked. This tweak in the looks of the vehicle give an exaggerated BMW-esque vibe that gives the more stylish front grille and headlight design compared to the current model.
Enthusiasts can only guess that Honda will continue and carry on where it has left the last models off. With the current hype for green cars in the country, the SUV may probably have a eco-friendly features and a great possibility of including a hybrid powertrain to mimic its junior Lexus RX450h rival. The car having Honda's new line of engines that trim off the emission of CO2 and other air pollutants is also not a far cry. A lot of spectators are now expecting the vehicle to come in front and four-wheel drive versions.
Given that the latest model of CRV trounced the competition in the final comparison test, the new generation for the European market is expected to raise the bar a notch higher. It might be that the developers are doing their best to "rejigger" the damper mounts on the rear suspension to pave the way for bigger dampers with performance left unaffected by tweaks in the suspension geometry. One can only guess that the new ride is slightly softer and smoother with handling that remains sporty for a crossover. Reviews suggest that the ride would be even more impressive when the car will come with an electric power steering system that takes inspiration from the predecessor's directness of hydraulic unit.
Recent trends in the development of Honda vehicles also point to the possibility of the new CRV having fuel economy features that may also pick up another 3mpg highway on two wheel drives and another 1-2 mpg for the automatic wheel drive trims. It may also be possible to have a decreased friction from the engine's piston rings to the transmission's clutch packs.

A GROUND-BREAKING ceremony was held at Bromsgrove's Avoncroft Museum on Monday (July 3) to mark the start of the venue's latest project – the reconstruction of a nailer's cottage.
The Standard reported back in June last year how the building, on Birmingham Road, Lickey End, had been saved by the museum and now work has begun on putting it in its new home. This will be the first full-scale building to be reconstructed at Avoncroft since the 1990s.
Thanks to the press coverage on the cottage last year, Joyce Rea, nee Homer, who was born in the house in 1925, got in touch with Avoncroft to share her memories of living there in the 1930s.
Joyce has recorded a series of interviews, recalling her family life, the room layouts and personal stories based on her vivid memories.
She said she remembered hearing pigs in the garden squeal when the butcher arrived and watching the nail makers working further down the road.
"We used to go dandelion picking for my dad, he used to have barrels and barrels of wine that he used to make in his shed.
"We used to go into the fields with baskets and our fingers got stained from the dandelions.
"He used to bring people round from the pub, get them in there and get them drunk.
"There was a rain tub underneath the spouting and they used to walk past there and the one time the one fell in the water… I can picture them now." she said.
Museum director Simon Carter said: "Since the story broke last year, we have had a positive response from a lot of people in Bromsgrove and the surrounding areas.
"Many said it was great we were preserving an important part of the area's heritage which would otherwise have been lost."
With regard to the cottage, it is thought it was built in the 1840s and it appears in the 1851 census.
At Avoncroft, the cottage will show the harsh living and working conditions of the people who, over a period of 300 years, helped make Bromsgrove the 'nailmaking capital of the world'.
A good nailer could produce 24,000 nails per week but the trade was badly rewarded.
Whole families took part in the trade and, according to the 1861 census, nailmaking accounted for a quarter of the child labour in England and Wales. In the mid-1800s it was estimated that 10,300 people in Bromsgrove were working in the trade – and there were as many female nail-makers as there were men.
Avoncroft will be running nailmaking courses and helping local people trace online whether their ancestors were engaged in nailmaking.
This first phase of the reconstruction of the nailer's cottage – the rebuilding of the outside – will take around five weeks.
Funds are still being sought to complete the second phase – tcompleting the interior and landscaping its gardens.
Anyone who support the project should email Rachel Shepherd, development manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01527 831363.

Does anyone know of any top skaters who will try out their new programs here?
Also which is the closest hotel to the Rink?
Does anyone know of any top skaters who will try out their new programs here?
Also which is the closest hotel to the Rink?
Tendonitis can heal in about a week if you stop your activity immediately. I delayed by own healing because I didn't realize what was happening to my own knee. As far as I know, to feel full strength again will take about four weeks. The earlier you treat it, the better (which is why I'm skeptical about Rafael Nadal and his knees from his lengthy tendonitis.) Heck, my knee buckled a few times if it's bent for too long..... I almost rolled down the stairs in the dark when I got up to leave a ballet performance I attended.
I was wondering too who might compete. I looked at the website for the 2008 results to see who competed then. It seems that in Ladies the heavy hitters were Flatt, Czisny, Gilles, Bereswill and Wagner. The Men had Bradley, Chan, Abbott, Oi and Shaun Rogers.
Wonder if there will be elite skaters such as these again?
Probably. And the FL pairs often skate at Liberty, particularly Evora/Ladwig.
There's no dance.
Hotels are not particularly close to the rink.
I use Google Maps to find them.
Click on Show Search Options.
Pick Businesses from the drop down.
And put Hotel Aston PA in the search box and you get a list.
Another way to pick a hotel is from the IceWorks site:
It lists all the hotels and the distance of each one from the rink. Many fans stay at the Holiday Inn Select Wilmington, which is only 3.5 miles from the rink.
This is a big monitoring event for the single skaters, so you'll usually see those that:
a. have been chosen for an international event and are not in the A envelope
b. are in the international selection pool and not in the A envelope
Skaters that fall into a or b are required to attend one of the monitored events, so that's why you see such elite skaters at Liberty (and Skate Detroit). If Kimmie can't make this event, there are a few others, but this would be the most local for her.
The Indy Challenge event is the bigger monitoring event for pairs and Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships for the dance teams.

Still nothing on who's competing? Strange, since the competition starting date is so close! I'm guessing we're not going to see as many 'stars' as last year; the 'Olympic' year programs seem to take a little longer to tweak... Rachael Flatt has already announced that she won't be doing Liberty (well, indirectly at least, she said she wanted to do a summer competition no earlier than august). Any confirmation on Kimmie?
No confirmation from Kimmie either.
@luckysnake50 [snip] I don't think so. i wasn't really sure if i was [going to compete at Liberty] for sure, but my knee [injury] messed me up
Last edited by R.D.; 07-10-2009 at 02:14 PM.
That's such a shame about Kimmie. We were really looking forward to seeing her there. We're still planning on attending the Friday and Saturday parts of the competition.
Flatt usually competes in some summer comps in Colorado, including the Colorado Championships in the Denver area in early August. So, I suspect that will be one of the events she is at.
Any confirmed skaters from Colorado going to be at Liberty this year?
Last edited by Nigel; 07-11-2009 at 07:49 AM.
The buzz was that the Colorado skaters wouldn't be going en masse to Liberty this year.
chuckm, Do you know whether Ryan Bradley will be going?
is that the make or break deal for you to decide if you are gonna go, D???
I'm told that Patrick Chan registered for Liberty again this year, but I don't know if he will actually compete... have to wait and see if he shows.
Senior Men so far that I've heard are planning to compete (from 2009 Nationals) at Liberty this year include: Stephen Carriere (S9), Tommy Steenberg (S10), Shaun Rogers (S12), Douglas Razzano (S14), Jonathan Cassar (S16), and new seniors Ross Miner (J1), Keegan Messing (J2), and Armin Mahbanoozadeh (J6).
Senior Ladies: Ashley Wagner (S4), Kristine Musademba (S11), Joelle Forte (S12), and new senior Kristiene Gong (J4).
Senior Pairs: Evora/Ladwig (S4) and junior champs Tanovich/Chau (I think).
Junior Pairs: H. Denney/Raad (N2), Gibbons/Harris (N3) and the new team of Felicia Zhang/Taylor Toth (JGP age-eligible).
The above should be considered UNOFFICIAL hearsay information. The Liberty program book should be available by late Tuesday and hopefully more of the registered skaters will be known then. However, please be aware that every year a good number of the registered skaters that are listed in the program book end up not showing and ditto sometimes even for the skaters listed in the starting orders posted at the rink on the day of competition! In any case, it should be a fun competition regardless of who does or doesn't show up!

Under the hot morning sun, teenagers hacked brush with weed whackers and axes. Others down the hill scraped the dirt and remaining weeds with shovels and rake-like tools, smoothing the trail to allow hikers, bicyclists and horses to pass.
All of the teens were wearing hard hats and other protective equipment to avoid scratches from the brush, burns from the sun and bites from ants in the Quigley Canyon open space.
The teens are part of William S. Hart Union High School District's Trails program, which teaches students and recent grads the skills necessary to work in environmental sciences, wildland conservation and fire fighting programs, said Kevin Sarkissian, who is teaching the program for the second time this year.
The program runs two weeks and pays the students with funding from the California Department of Education, U.S. Forest Service and Transition Partnership Program.
On Thursday, the crew of 14 students was set to clear about a half-mile of trail in the Quigley Canyon open space in a matter of hours, Sarkissian said. In a four-day period, the crew cleared 2.25 miles of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail in Acton.
The teens moved quickly while climbing a hill in Placerita Canyon Thursday, all the while hacking brush or scraping dirt.
"These guys are motivated like you would not believe," Sarkissian said.
Before the teens began, Sarkissian briefed them about safety. He warned them about dehydration, rattlesnakes, ants, back injuries and sunscreen.
Keeva Crooks, who graduated from Golden Valley High School last month, said the program has made her more interested in conservation.
"It feels like I can accomplish something," Crooks said. "After I joined this job, I became more interested in it because I kind of like it."

Despite the density of restaurants catering to Chinese and Indian cuisine, it can be difficult to find a good curry or authentic dim sum. The most cosmopolitan dining area is between Sannomiya Station and Kitano-zaka, where you can also find the local delicacy, Kōbe beef – expensive slices of meat heavily marbled with fat. While Kōbe doesn't have as strong a club scene as neighbouring Ōsaka, it does have a good range of bars, most clustered around Sannomiya and Motomachi, and all within easy walking distance of each other. There are also several cinemas around Sannomiya. Read More

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - A tourist railroad that travels to Grand Canyon National Park is proposing to run an express train as a way to reduce the number of autos traveling to the canyon.
Park officials have been trying to establish a light rail system to eliminate traffic congestion on the canyon's South Rim, which among other things is contributing to a pollution problem at the park.
The plan by the Grand Canyon Railway would compete with proposals being explored by the National Park Service, which is considering banning private vehicles from the South Rim and and shuttling park visitors from Tusayan to the canyon.
Instead of park visitors boarding buses or light rail in Tusayan, six miles away, the railway's plan would have visitors board trains 65 miles away in Williams.
Up to 1 million passengers could be accommodated during the three-month peak summer season, according to railway officials.
"The train would leave Williams and arrive at our existing depot in the park right now," said W. David Chambers, Grand Canyon Railway president. "We think because of that, there will be less need for an in-the-park transit system."
The railway's existing depot is in the heart of Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim.
Unloading passengers within walking distance of most attractions would eliminate the need for increased bus service within the park, Chambers said.
But the Flagstaff Innkeepers Association isn't ready to support the proposal yet.
Association President Ash Patel said the innkeepers have a number of questions, including whether the railway plans to build a new hotel on property it owns in Williams.
Canyon Forest Village, a proposal to build a hotel and restaurants in Tusayan, was defeated.

HEDGESVILLE - West Virginia State Police continue to search for a suspect in the armed robbery of a Hedgesville business.
The robbery occured at about 3:09 p.m. Monday at California Dreams, located at 4502 Hedgesville Road. According to an employee, a man entered the business and used the restroom. When he returned, he displayed a firearm and insturcted the clerk to open the register, from which he took an undetermined amount of money before fleeing from the scene on foot.
Tuesday, the West Virginia State Police released a description of the suspect. He is described as a white male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with a word printed across the chest, possibly "Carolina." He was wearing jeans and a black or dark brown baseball cap with a white front.
Article Photos
The first vehicle to pass in front of the business after the suspect fled, according to surveillance footage, was a white Buick sedan with what appeared to be damaged to the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was traveling west, toward Morgan County.
The investigation is ongoing. Anybody having information is asked to contact the West Virginia State Police at 304-267-0001 or at 304-267-0000.

Lehua Park Cosma was inspired by her mother's courage and strength to spearhead an effort to establish this year the county's first rural community dialysis facility in Hana.
Her mother, Cecelia "Aunty Cece" Lonokahikini Roback Park, lived for more than 25 years with diabetes and started dialysis treatments in November 2004. To get her three-times-a-week dialysis sessions, Park and her husband, Andrew, would leave Hana at 1:30 or 2 a.m. to drive the long, narrow and twisting highway to Central Maui - and then return.
After years of lobbying politicians, officials and anyone else who'd listen, Cosma's goal of a Hana dialysis facility was finally realized in April when the facility, Hale Pomaika'i, was dedicated and opened. About 250 people, including Gov. Linda Lingle, took part in the facility's blessing.
Article Photos
Establishing a dialysis treatment facility in Hana wasn't easy. Skeptics said there weren't enough patients in the remote community to make it feasible. Then, a breakthrough came in 2008 when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid approved the communal dialysis facility, the first of its kind in the nation.
Then, a plantation-era residence that was found had to be renovated with new water and electrical systems, both needed for the dialysis machines.
The work was paid for through a $48,000 Maui County grant.
Hui Laulima O Hana has a 20-year lease on the property from the county, which manages the state-owned land. The hui pays $1 a year for use of the property.
While Cosma, the founder and president of Hui Laulima O Hana, was widely credited with being the driving force behind the new dialysis treatment facility, she pointed to her mother as her inspiration. Sadly, Park didn't enjoy the convenience of nearby dialysis treatment long. She died Dec. 21, following complications from a serious fall she had two weeks earlier. She was 67.
"To me, she leaves back a legacy. I'm so glad she got to live to see her dream come true," Cosma said. "I'm so proud of her."
Park never complained of coping with diabetes and considered it a blessing and a means to fight for fellow dialysis patients, Cosma said. "She accepted it as a gift and a way to end suffering for others who were in worse off shape."

A Mother's Day Gift Idea from Ubisoft
Stuck for a Mother's Day gift for your Mother? The suggestion coming from Ubisoft is to get her a copy of the fitness release "Your Shape" for Nintendo Wii. Be very careful how you proceed with this my children. The "game" is endorsed by Michelle Bridges (left), who is one of the trainers on Australia's Biggest Loser shows (when they can't borrow the American folks). The game has over 500 exercises. It uses the little specially-made 2D camera included to show you working out on the screen and it will correct you if your form is off as well as judging your body shape so it can create exercises to help you work on your problem areas! It will also keep track of your progress, and will let you know when you've been slacking off! While I'm not sure it's the best idea to give your Mum for Mother's DayRead more →By Naomi in News 1 Comment »

EVE: The Burning Life is now available to purchase in bookstores and online.

"Mabinogi" Easter Egg Hunt is Egg-citing
Nexon's "Mabinogi" is going a little Mabin-eggy this week. Why? Easter, of course! An Easter event starting tomorrow rewards players with stat boosts and treats! Just like real Easter! Except the stat boosts in the real-life case are more like "+1 Weight" for eating too many chocolate bunnies. Oops. So, how do you get these bonuses? Well, collecting eggs from hens leads to finding fossilized Easter eggs. These fossils are then extracted quickly, and successfully excavated eggs lead to an Easter Egg Capsule reward. The capsules are full of candy that give your "Egg-scavator" character stat bonuses! Easy as eggs! (Are you tired of the egg jokes yet? I swear I'm done with them. Maybe.)

To the Editor:
When historians look back at the 2008 presidential election of Barack Obama, they will wonder just how a man so devoid of professional accomplishments could beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, and execute the world's most consequential job.
When they examine his pre-presidential life, they will find: he was ushered into an Ivy League university, despite his unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; he held a cushy "non-job" as a community organizer; he had a brief career as a state legislator, devoid of legislative achievement, often voting "present"; and an unaccomplished single term in the U.S. Senate, where he authored no signature legislation and most of his efforts were devoted to his presidential ambitions.
Then there are Obama's troubling associations with: an America-loathing and anti-white preacher who served as his spiritual mentor, and a real-life domestic terrorist who served as a political sponsor.
It's easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: How on earth was such a man elected president? What kind of standard was he held to? Was he held to a lower standard than someone else for some reason?
Some conclusions will be obvious. Others will just be speculation. We have the liberty to embrace or choose our own. Fortunately, we also have the liberty to help choose someone who is more qualified from any aspect you care to examine.

Three Uplifting Inheritance Stories
Yes, I know what you're thinking. Inheritance - uplifting? Well yes, it can be just that.
Inheritance is often a complex issue within families, and an issue which - as the existence of the Heir Hunters Association makes plain - occasionally requires the input of genealogists.
At worst, it can tear families apart. Even when there's a positive outcome, it often only comes after protracted pain, hassle, agony, and even litigation.
But it isn't always like this. Here are a few stories which might make you see the topic in a different light. On rare occasions such as these it can be positive - and, dare I say it, uplifting. Take a look at these three.
The Waitress Who Inherited a Small Fortune from a Customer
Cara Wood was a 17-year-old student, working at Drin's Colonial Restaurant in her hometown just outside Cleveland. She was a model employee – always helpful and friendly to the customers. One patron, Bill Cruxton, took such a shine to her that he began coming to the restaurant regularly just to see her. A widower with no children, he eventually ended up going daily, just for some food and some company. They became friends, and Cara became so important to Bill Cruxton that he rewrote his will and made her the main beneficiary. When Cruxton died at 82 in the early 1990s, an unsuspecting Cara Wood had a pleasant letter arrive in the post. He'd left her his entire estate, worth half a million dollars.
The Portuguese Aristocrat Who Donated His Fortune to 70 Strangers Selected At Random From a Phone Directory
The regally-named Luis Carlos de Noronha Cabral da Camara (ahem) died unexpectedly at 42. But some time earlier, he had planned a novel way of dispensing his inheritance. Childless and a bachelor, Luis Carlos had nobody to leave his substantial fortune to. So he had 70 people selected at random from a phonebook, in front of two witnesses in a registry office. At first many of the beneficiaries thought they were being scammed, since wills aren't even a common practice in Portugal – let alone those arranged by random choice in a phonebook. But in the end quite a few people benefited nicely from the plan!
The Homeless Brothers who Inherited Over 100 Million Euros
Brothers Zsolt and Geza Peladi were so poverty-stricken that they lived in a cave outside Budapest, begging and selling scrap for money. One day all that changed. Charity workers in Hungary were contacted by lawyers, who had been handling the estate of the brothers' recently-deceased maternal grandmother. She had been living in Germany, where under law direct descendents are automatically entitled to a share of any estate.
"We knew our mother came from a wealthy family but she was a difficult person and had severed ties with them, then later abandoned us and we lost touch with her and our father until she eventually died," said Geza, 43. Geza added: "If this all works out it will certainly make up for the life we have had until now - all we really had was each other - no women would look at us living in a cave. But with money maybe we can find a partner - and finally have a normal life. We don't know yet if she even told our grandmother about us - I understand it was only while they were carrying out genealogical research that lawyers found we existed."
So it just goes to show. Inheritance doesn't always need to be a harrowing affair. Sometimes, it can even bring a smile to your face.
Search for your ancestors:
- This is a delightful illustration of the inheritance available to us all, through the the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, except our inheritance in heaven is beyond any earthly measurement. 1 Peter 1 verses 4-5

Adventures in Self-Publishing: Selecting a Print on Demand Publisher (Part I)
Like just about every other step in self-publishing a book, researching and selecting a print on demand (POD) publisher can be a time-consuming and even bewildering experience. The problem arises not from a lack of choices, but just the opposite. Today, there are scores of publishers to choose from, with significant differences among them in business model, cost, speed, quality and reputation. The challenge is therefore to figure out which one is just right you.
The first step in that process is to understand the high-level differences between the alternatives available. At the highest level of categorization, there are currently three models from which to choose:

Well Fargo out today with a nice 32 page note. Good read. Buy and valuation between $8 and $10
Summary: We have initiated coverage of SNSS with an Outperform
rating on the shares and a $8-10 valuation range. Sunesis' lead
compound, vosaroxin, is a novel quinolone derivative in development for
relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). In September 2012 the
ongoing vosaroxin Phase III VALOR study passed a major clinical de-risking
event, in our view, when the data safety monitoring board (DSMB) recommended
VALOR continue to conclusion based on a promising overall survival (OS) signal.
Based on our review of vosaroxin and other AML drugs' clinical data, VALOR's
statistical assumptions, and expansion of the study's size, we believe VALOR is
more likely than not to succeed on its primary endpoint, creating a major
potential value inflection for SNSS. During 2013, a final safety analysis and
vosaroxin efficacy updates in an elderly front-line study could provide catalysts
for SNSS shares ahead of VALOR results in H1 2014E. With a ~$150 million
enterprise value and vosaroxin's long-term potential in R/R AML, we believe
SNSS is undervalued and see risk/reward as favorable going into VALOR data

In 2008 the already established Nick Curran would form his new band, "Nick Curran and the Lowlifes." This is after HBO used four of his songs for their series "True Blood." In 2010 Nick Curran released his fifth and final album, "Reform School Girl,"with the Lowlifes, which has been described as "Little Richard Meets The Ramones." Later that year Nick was diagnosed with oral cancer, and as some of you already know passed away in early October of 2012.
There are many accolades of this performer from throughout the world about a musician who actually recorded four of his albums all using vintage recording equipment to achieve the sound of old 45 and 78 rpm records.
Our Photographer friend, Libero Api, was lucky enough to see Nick Curran and the Lowlifes play back in November of 2010 at "The Funhouse Tattoo Club," in Italy. His experience as well as the photos are below.
by Libero Api, Featured Photographer, From Senigallia, Italy
Versatile and talented indiscriminately from rockabilly, R & B, and blues, Nick Curran is defined as the synthesis of Little Richard and T-Bone Walker in the 21stcentury.
Able to master of the roots of the music without any problems, able to renew a genre while respecting tradition. Nick played the classic R & B and jump blues in the late '40s and early '50s, but also offers original material, using vintage instruments. Offering a versatile artist and adrenaline pumping sound to the point that it is impossible to stand still during a concert!
I was there, and these are my photos of a great night of rockabilly …


text: Breaking — Rod Marinelli in Seattle Posted by on Jan 5, 2009 01:18 ShareTweetby: Chris Sullivan According to Q-13 Fox, Rod Marinelli is in Seattle today speaking with the Seahawks, most likley for the Defensive Coordinator position. This is not a huge surprise, as he is one of the named we've bandied about, but to see him in town prior to any OC options probably means that either a) the OC is decided (Knapp), or b) the interview process is just getting started for all open positions. Either way, I think Marinelli is promising, despite his recent history in Detroit. You've got to remember when looking at guys from Detroit and Oakland (among others) that sometimes their wins and losses are not fully representative of their skills. D-town and O-skeeze are both plagued with loserdom. I think Marinelli could be one of the more inspired people in the league in 2009 to save his name. Plus, hey, could it get any worse than John Marshall? ~END~ ShareTweetSeahawks Tickets About View all posts by →

Javier Bardem deserves best supporting actor nomination at the least.
Bond movies evolve, getting darker and more realistic; this is far superior to the era that gave us Moonraker.
Daniel Craig's last role as Bond?
Judi, Judi, Judi... what a class act.
Don't miss this movie, if you enjoy good Bond.

I've always loved her really unique layback positions. The angle of her leg and back are extremely difficult to hold, and I'm not sure if many ladies competing could do that let alone with their hands behind their back.
Did Ashley just do 3F-3T?
i disagree;if Cynthia skates decently, she can beat Amelie solidly on PCS. Amelie left the door wide open and honestly, not doing the lutz again, will be a major concern for SC.
Ashley WAGNER (USA)
Music: Pollock by Jeff Beal
3F+3T - a bit tight on landing, perhaps small 2foot on 3T
Score: 64.07, new PB and into 2nd
Hey, she went for the 3-3 (UR perhaps?) and it didn't hurt the rest of her program at all! Skated like a champ. Way to go!
Ashley said "it was a good try" coming off the ice....
Something really cool has happened for me: I am no longer afraid or anxious at all when I watch Wagner do her SP. Even in the combo when I saw what was happening I was just like yeah, she's got this ok then moving forward... and this makes me very happy.
Good for her for going for the triple triple! Not perfect - but she is showing a very competitive side to herself this year!
Slow-mo showed 2fted. Maybe a little bit short on rotation depend on which angle. She came off the ice saying it was a good try.
Looks like no UR call for Ashley. It looked close to me on the replay.
Beat her personal best (ever) by nearly 3 points I imagine she got credit for full rotation. Yay!
My darn computer conked out at the very end, but I watched it ALL!!!! YES!!!! Imho Ashley has the best two programs of any lady in the world today, I would put her in 1st.

Grayscale Rain
Grayscale Rain (J.M. Havens, born 7 August 1986) is a furry artist who lives in Roswell, Georgia, USA.
Havens has written the comics Foxtail Comics and No Pressure. Both went defunct in their embryonic stages due to real life interference. A section of comic mirroring the beginning of Foxtail Comics has appeared on the new Fox Saliant Studios site, and there are also a few No Pressure comics in his possession that haven't been put up before
Fox Saliant Studios is updated on a regular, if sporadic schedule, each comic being put up as soon as it's physically finished.
In addition to being an artist and writer, he considers himself an amateur composer though he finds it difficult to produce anything of substantial quality. As such, he's left his musical endeavors and returned to focusing on art.

Any special reason to not join the OpenBSD on the domain?
By doing this, you could use 'security = domain' instead of
'security = share' and you could use read/write lists.

That's strange, you will benefit by joining the Domain,
anyway, if you prefer to not do so, you probably can use ACLs
or change it to 'security = user' and use ACLs.
> In conclusion:
> This should be done under the same share point; all users can read but

If you have the list of your users some way accessible
(even if you recreate them by hand, but that could be a problem
with password) you can either use ACLs or Samba read/write lists.
There is some time I last used 'security = share', if it
still uses the user connected to read/write to the disk before
get the guest account, you could use ACLs on the filesystem.

A HUMPBACK whale has again been spotted in the waters off of West Cork, this time about 8 miles south east of Galley Head.
The sighting was made yesterday by whale watch operator Colin Barnes according to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group.
The sighting follows the first ever April sightings of Humpbacks in Irish waters also in West Cork, last month.
It could not be confirmed if the whale was one of the 20 already recorded in Irish waters or animal paying its first visit to West Cork.

I joined the MutualArt team as VP Product, to define and develop MutualArt.com
In 2005 I established a new company – TODEPOINT, combining the knowledge and experience I have from the two domains, usually distinct, creates an added value that serves the outcome.
I joined Puzzlehead studios, giving art direction and some hands-on design work, making new friends and contacts, and got deeper and deeper into flash programming.
I teamed up with Liat (Industrial designer, UI specialist) and Udi (Information Technology and Management), and together we founded a web design company. We developed CMS driven websites and specialized in Flash utilization. The company was acquired in 2003.
I studied Communication Design at HIT (
Holon Institute of Technology
, 1997-2001). As a student I was fascinated by the Timeline factor & User Interaction in digital interfaces (in contrary to the traditional static Print design) and my imagination was set free by
Macromedia Flash
(back then it was version 3, around 1998). I stopped designing for print, and all my academic projects and implementations from that point on were digital.

The St. Louis Blues dominated the Florida Panthers on Saturday night by a score of 7-0. When the game was safely out of reach, the Panthers started showing their frustration. Tomas Fleischmann was caught trying to hit T.J. Oshie in the head with his elbow. Thankfully the hit missed, but it's safe to say the intent was there and if it would have connected we'd be hearing about a fine or a suspension from the Department of Player Safety.
Fleischmann's flying elbow was captured perfectly in this GIF found over on the St. Louis Blues subreddit. There's really no need for this type of play in hockey. You're losing big and you're frustrated. That's understandable. However, at no time should you be trying to clock an unsuspecting player in the head with your arm.

This is very interesting. One of the biggest worries with any high intensity sport or exercise is the creation of free radical such as peroxides and superoxides which damage cells by basically stealing electrons. If the bodies manufacture of some of these ( not all, you actually need a little) can be controlled with something having as benign side effects as allopurinol it could be a prophylactic to many types of cellular damage. I want to look into this more. The cardiac researchers at Cleveland Clinic have been studying heart disease and MI markers such as myeloperoxidase, that can be much earlier predictors of these conditions than even hs CRP or hs Tnt. If so its possible to administer something like a purinol early enough to prevent hospitalization for more people and that is one extremely effective way to lower health care costs. Ok lecture over lol

PHENIX CITY, ALabama-- The Phenix City Council will soon vote on a proposal to increase city taxes for the first time in 15 years, WSFA reports.
A 3/4-cent increase would pay $20 million worth of capital improvements. If passed, the increase would bring the city's sales tax from 8 to 8.75 percent.
Projects being considered are new city services facility at the old Cobb Hospital, sports fields at the Boys and Girls Club, and a hotel on the Riverfront, says the report.
According to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, Phenix City officials have also confirmed that a developer plans to start construction on a $10 million riverfront hotel as early as next year.
The council will discuss the proposal again before casting the final vote. The increase would begin Oct. 1 if approved.

IT GAVE ME INCENTIVE TO GET WELL, AND I AM WELL," ACTOR Doug McClure, 59, declared on Dec. 16, when his star installed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Alas, McClure recovery from lung cancer was all too brief; the disease returned a month later, and McClure died at his Sherman Okas, Calif., home last week with Diane, his wife of 16 years and a spate of friends and family at his bedside.
From 1962 to l971, McClure and James Drury defined cowhand bonding and branding for a generation of viewers in the popular TV series The Virginian. A native of Glendale, Calif., McClure briefly ran away from home and L.A.'s University High School (where Drury was a classmate) to learn roping and steering on a Nevada ranch. A gifted athlete who spent more time surfing than studying at UCLA, McClure was spotted by an agent cm the beach and soon landed in a soap commercial. He made appearances in several TV series, notably Checkmate, before he and Drury teamed up in The Virginian.
They also hit the drinking trail hard, according to Drury, who eventually gave up booze and persuaded McClure to do the same (along with cigarettes) in 1982. McClure's drinking may well have contributed to four divorces (he had two daughters from his earlier marriages: Tane, 36, and Valerie, 23). Yet he was always lively company (his Burt Lancaster impersonation Ws a Hollywood favorite), and he managed to keep Working (in 1975's The Land That Time Forgot and in 1994's Maverick) long after TV westerns bit the dust. "Anytime I laid eyes on Doug, I couldn't help smiling," says Drury. "He was the finest guy I ever knew."

End of US highway 730

Despite the fact that US 730 is a very short highway, I have an unusually high amount of relevant photos, maps, etc... so many that I've had to split this highway into two separate pages. You can get info and view photos of the west endpoints in Oregon on this page.
The east end of US 730 is at Wallula Jct. WA. This is where the Walla Walla River flows into the Columbia, not far from the Tri Cities of Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick. This junction is shown at the bottom of the aerial photo below:
That photo also shows three bridges crossing the Walla Walla River. The bridge on the left is a railroad. The bridge in the center is the modern US 12 bridge - you can see how the highway splits into a Y-junction just south of the river. The bridge on the right is the old US 410 bridge. You can see how it too used to split into a Y-junction that is now partially overlapped by the current junction. The photo below was taken from westbound US 12, or historic US 410:
Elbert, Feb. 2008
On the right side, you can see what's now a roadside park, along with an old road that's been closed off: that's where US 410 used to split off (today you can follow that road on foot to see part of the old bridge). Today US 12 splits off about 50 yards ahead; the sign in the distance is shown close-up below:
Elbert, Feb. 2008
US 12 traffic is routed north from here, upstream on the Columbia, through Wallula to the Tri Cities. If one goes straight, they are on the east beginning of US 730, heading downstream along the Columbia. Ahead is the first westbound confirming marker:
Elbert, Feb. 2008
Below is a view from the opposite direction (heading south from Pasco on eastbound US 12):
Elbert, Feb. 2008
Here US 12 begins curving east (left) towards Walla Walla. To the right is actually a short spur that connects to mainline US 730; the sign posted in the gore is shown close-up below:
Elbert, Feb. 2008
Heading east on US 730, here's the signage posted at its junction with US 12:
Elbert, Feb. 2008
As I've said, this is a Y-junction: straight ahead merges with eastbound US 12, but if you take the left fork, you come to a stop sign, where you have another opportunity to go east on US 12 (the photo below shows the sign posted there):

No "End 730" sign at either fork. Chris tells me that the east end of US 730 will probably be moved again soon, as WSDoT is planning a new alignment for US 12, which will run along the north side of the river in this area.
