American Wind Symphony Orchestra
|This article has an unclear citation style. Learn how and when to remove this template message) (September 2009) (
The American Wind Symphony Orchestra (AWSO; also called the American Wind Symphony, abbreviated AWS) is an American musical ensemble comprising many of the wind instruments found in a symphony orchestra, which is dedicated to the performance of contemporary classical music, and which is known for having commissioned over 400 new works.[1] Based in Mars, Pennsylvania (just north of Pittsburgh), United States, the AWSO was founded and directed for 50 years by the American conductor (and former trumpeter) Robert Austin Boudreau (b. 1927).
The group, whose membership changes from year to year, typically comprises young professional musicians. Many of the works it performs feature an unusually large instrumentation usually comprising at least 4 flutes (doubling on piccolo, alto flute, and bass flute), 4 oboes (doubling on English horn and oboe d'amore), 4 bassoons (doubling on contrabassoon and heckelphone), 4 clarinets (doubling on E-flat clarinet, basset horn, bass clarinet, and contrabass clarinet), 4-6 trumpets, 4-7 horns, 4-6 trombones, a bass trombone, and 1-2 tubas. Percussion, harp, piano, and celeste are usually included as well, but, unlike most concert bands, saxophones and euphoniums are never used.
The group performs annually during the summer months on a floating arts center designed by the American architect Louis Kahn.[2] Point Counterpoint II, constructed in 1976, is the second boat used by the orchestra, the first having been being a converted coal barge named Point Counterpoint. Aboard Point Counterpoint II, which measures 195 feet (59 m) long and 38 feet (12 m) wide, there are also rooms for up to 13 crew members, staff, and the Boudreaus to live, an art gallery below deck, and a small theater where most of the patrons' concerts take place.[3]
Each summer, the group performs on the barge's stage, with the barge anchored in one of Pittsburgh's rivers. The group also travels on the barge, around various waterways of the United States (including the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, as well as their tributaries), giving concerts along the way.
The orchestra spent three years overseas where they were present for the Bicentennial celebration of France, the 800th Anniversary in England and were the first U.S. vessel in Leningrad.
Boudreau took a hiatus of several years after the 2004 residency but after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita was compelled to travel to Louisiana in 2006. The name of that tour was the "Spirit of Louisiana" and the reception in the southernmost cities of Louisiana was so great the orchestra returned for a few weeks in 2007. Boudreau once again announced a retirement as music director following the final concert of the 2007 season at Yale University. A 2008 New England tour is being developed for June and July. The tour will begin at Highcroft, Boudreau's farm in Pine Township, Pennsylvania. The orchestra will have three residencies there, performing on the Caroline Steinman Nunan Amphitheater. The orchestra will then meet up with Point Counterpoint II in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and performances in Maine will follow for several weeks. The orchestra will then proceed up the Hudson River to the Erie Barge Canal and have closing concerts at the end of July back at Highcroft.
Boudreau's operation of the American Wind Symphony Orchestra has courted controversy over the years. In 1985, he was arrested by Federal marshals for sailing his vessel contrary to U.S. Coast Guard regulations.[1] His actions have at times antagonized the larger professional music community of Pittsburgh[2] and caused him to be charged with unfair labor practices with regard to the treatment of his musicians.[3] In March 2013, the Sheriff's Office of Okaloosa County, Florida issued a warrant for Boudreau's arrest, alleging grand theft of $25,000 in appearance fees for a June 2012 concert which the AWSO never performed. Boudreau has cited a lack of housing for the members as reason for the failure to appear and refused to return the funds, claiming that he thought they were "a donation to the orchestra."[4] Musicians from that summer's tour have also alleged having never been paid for part of the season. Robert Boudreau was in fact never arrested. He went to Florida as required by Florida law; the authorities took his picture and his fingerprints, he signed a note that he would appear, if required, before a judge, and returned to Pennsylvania. His lawyer represented him at a later hearing. The judge dismissed all charges without prejudice. In response to the allegations by musicians in relation to partial payment for the season, according to the AWSO letter of agreement with musicians, "In the event that Orchestra determines at any time that it is unable to complete a substantial portion of its remaining concert schedule, it may forthwith terminate this agreement by notice, oral or written, to Instrumentalist, without any responsibility thereafter to Instrumentalist, except to pay his/her stipend or scholarship grant pro-rated up to one (1) week following the date of such notice. A similar experience took place earlier in the week with the 2015 group of musicians. High and dangerous river conditions, lack of housing, lack of funds and complaints about talent are among the many given excuses for the breach of the conduct and shortening of tour.
Boudreau's wife, Kathleen, assists with the organization of the AWSO. She is currently writing a book on the history of the AWSO from her perspective throughout the years. Together they have planned all the group's tours, reared a large family, and farmed over 120 acres (0.49 km2) in Pennsylvania.

Editorial Reviews▼▲
Praise for Every Young Mans Battle
"Every Young Mans Battle does the best job I have ever seen on the subject
of sexual temptation. Once upon a time we lived in a world that didnt talk
about secrets, and that world has brought us to the mess we are in today.
Young men must have an honest, blunt, and unashamedly Christian look
at their sexuality. This book will save thousands of future marriages."
Jim Burns, president, YouthBuilders
"I have never read a book as direct and open as Every Young Mans Battle.
The profound principles communicate the authors personal experiences
and provide the hope that anyone can overcome a day-to-day battle with
impure thoughts. Every Young Mans Battle helps you see the importance of
taking control over your eyes, your mind, and your heart so that you can
completely honor God in every facet of your life."
Scott Bullard, of musical recording group Soul Focus
"Its encouraging to see some real men stand up and sound the alarm to
young men. Stephen, Fred, and Mikes courage to tell their stories exposes
what has unfortunately become a dirty little secret among men in the
church. The battle cry of the day is for men of all ages to live a pure and
holy life, and this book will crush Satans strategy by giving the troops the
guts to talk about what has been taboo in the church for so long. The
authors poignant stories paint a picture of battle in which all men can
relate and offer hope and camaraderie to win the war."
Troy Vanliere, artist/manager (representing NewSong,
Carolyn Arends, Soul Focus, Jadyn Strand, and Glad)
"There has been a gaping void in the search for holiness, and Every Young
Mans Battle addresses those issues where others have been comfortably
silent. If there is even a spark of desire for purity in your life, this book will
kindle that fire… It is possible to walk in victory, as you will surely find out
after reading the Every Man series."
Matt Butler, of musical recording group NewSong

Some benefitted with some of the tips, but some of my friends who didn't struggle with the issue initially encountered difficulties with lust after reading. The descriptions are pretty provocative, and can start some bad thought processes especially for somebody who really struggles with sexual addiction.
All in all, I've found that after trying to apply their strategies and tactics, including the "starving the sumo," I found my problems only worsened. This book helped me realize that my problems came from my heart, and not just my surroundings.
If somebody's sexual sin is a result of the environment they put themselves in, this book can be very helpful. If you aren't sure why you struggle with sexual sin, I would also recommend this book, as it can help you diagnose where your temptation is really coming from.
Being somebody who is working through these issues myself, there are some things I wish I would have known before I read this book. My first recommendation to anybody who struggles with sexual sin is to speak with your pastor or some (Christian) authoritative figure in your life who can speak to your situation.

Since then we gave it to a 14 year old girl who was a flirt and believer. She had no idea what young men go through until she read it! My, now 15 year old son wanted another copy so he bought one for himself.

If you or your teen or are already dealing with this issue, all it does is give you new graphic images to lust after and is a how to guide on sexual gratification. As a parent of a teenage son and daughter myself, I understand the need for straight forward talk about sex. However, it doesn't need to be straight out of the gutter to get the point across.

It seems that today free sex is everywhere and that does not feel good at all. I saw this book and thought I would give it a go. I am so glad that I did. Written in an easy format that is difficult to put down once started. I could not believe how direct, appropriate and honest this book is. It gets to the bones of what is causing us problems in today's society. One of the best purchases I have done and feel that a lot of pressure and worry and been eliminated from me. I can now help the boys to be, and maintain being, authentic.

You say this with some certainty. However you would not be correct in this case. The BBB arbitration is binding arbitration and that means indeed the manufacture must abide by their decision. The reason why is they lobbied to have the law written to make the BBB a prerequisite to filing an actual lawsuit in the state of Kansas (and other states as well). The reason why is it adds a layer that a consumer must get past before they file against them. This is time consuming and many people give up and just go away. The manufacturer MUST abide by any decision the BBB imposes.
If you need you can look up BBB Kansas lemon law on Google. I also have an attorney, so I am 100% certain this WILL happen.

Bedrooms to Crave
Nothing is more comforting than a warm, cozy bed on a cold winter day...some rooms featured above have a light, airy feel and others a deep, and almost romantic feel. I have to say, I love the lanterns so much (shown in photo 02) I bought myself the very same one. (photos: Living Etc.)

Ooohh! I'm drooling over those bedrooms! I've got a vision for my bedroom but my husbands comment was, "There's one thing wrong with this picture - there's no clutter!"ReplyDelete
He's so right - but maybe...just maybe...if I have the bedroom of my dreams, I'll be able to convince him to actually FILE all his paperwork somewhere other than the floor!?
Happy New Year!~
Too funny! I wonder if you opened the closets in these picture-perfect rooms if you might find yourself clobbered with clothes, magazines, hats, papers, that book you've been searching for, and the like :) Happy New Year to you as well...ReplyDelete
I love all these, but most of all the final bedroom picture. Very pretty!ReplyDelete
You mean, the floor isnt the correct place to file paperwork??
Consumers therefore buy Pandora Jewellery .There are a number of different Pandora Jewelry to choose from. The main ones are either silver or gold in colour. Generally consumers that buy silver bracelets also buy silver charms to add to the bracelets. This is because silver charms look good on silver bracelets and make the whole cheap Pandora Jewellery product very stylish. Gold charms on silver bracelets can look very good too but some people prefer the simpler look. Gold bracelets can also be bought but these tend to be higher in price and are therefore not as common as the silver bracelets. They are however, incredibly attractive and anyone seen to be wearing a gold Pandora Sets would certainly be very proud indeed. People can of course purchase Pandora Set too.ReplyDelete

PARIS – The U.S. and Canada are the only countries so far to produce shale oil and gas in commercial quantities, but other countries are opening up to exploration, leaving resisting nations isolated.
Starting exploration
Poland is one of the leaders in Europe on shale gas. Around 15 international groups are prospecting and have drilled several dozen test wells, although results are below industry expectations.
In Britain, the government supports the exploration of shale gas and drilling of a test well in the countryside of Sussex, southeast England, has begun. But it has become the focus of a national campaign against the practice of hydraulic fracturing, a controversial extraction method.
Denmark has handed out two exploration licenses, but the drilling that should have begun this year will no doubt only take place in 2014 to make time for environmental studies.
Ukraine signed a contract in January with Shell.
Spain and Romania have also handed out exploration licenses.
Argentina is seeking to tap shale gas and oil and the state-owned energy company has drilled extensively in the Vaca Muerta range.
Russia may be sitting on one of the world's largest reserves of shale oil and they are attracting interest from foreign oil companies. Shell signed a deal with a Gazprom subsidiary in April to drill for shale oil in the Khanty-Mansiysk area of central Siberia.
China is encouraging exploratory drilling, but results so far have not lived up to expectations.
Australia has just started prospecting.
Canada has already begun producing shale oil in Alberta. Quebec, which has imposed a moratorium on drilling for shale gas, has left the door open to the extraction of shale oil in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where exploratory drilling is due to start soon.
Thinking about it
Lithuania is on the verge of signing an exploration accord with Chevron that has been months in the making.
In Germany, the Merkel government proposed in February the authorization of production of shale gas subject to strict controls. But opposition within Chancellor Angela Merkel's own party has shelved the issue.
A major producer of natural gas, Algeria is also thought to have significant reserves of shale gas and oil. Recent legislation has authorized exploration for them.
After a moratorium imposed because of environmental concerns, South Africa is now eyeing kicking off exploratory drilling after elections next April.
France banned fracking in 2011, closing the door to drilling for shale oil or gas on its territory. The ban was confirmed last year by the new Socialist government on the grounds that the ecological consequences are still unknown.
Bulgaria and the Czech Republic both announced moratoriums last year.
The Netherlands has issued two exploration permits but has blocked them from being used pending further study on the environmental impact.

For any of you who are not familiar with the ECB.. this is a nickname given to the cheap bullet shaped smokers found for 30 to 50 dollars at various department and hardware stores.
The one that most folks are familiar with are made by Brinkmann and thus the name is born..
El Cheapo Brinkmann or ECB for short.
What the ECB Looks Like
The setup is simple.. a cylinder shaped body with a charcoal pan on the very bottom, a water pan just above that and then 2 grates above the water pan.
All of this is covered by a dome lid containing a temperature gauge that simply reads warm, ideal or hot.
There are different versions and yours may not be exactly the same as mine depending on when and where you bought it but the operation is pretty much the same and there are several things you can do to make them work a little better.
Problems with the ECB and How to Fix Them
Let's talk about the main problem that folks usually have with the ECB and then I will give you a few tips on how to make it operate a little better.
First and foremost I hear complaints that it is next to impossible to get the temperature up to 225 degrees and hold it there.
You must make sure that you are using the correct pans for water and charcoal.. the charcoal pan has a diameter of 15-1/2 inches while the water pan is only 13-1/2 inches.
Air flow to the charcoal is restricted in many cases and the only way for air to get in is thru the access door which also allows heat to escape before it makes its' way up to grate level.
More Air to Charcoal Pan
To get more air to the charcoal pan without allowing the heat to escape out the door you will need to drill some holes in the bottom sides of the charcoal pan.
Use a ¼ inch drill bit and drill about 8 holes in opposite sides of the charcoal pan. This will get more air up into the charcoal from the bottom which will help dramatically.
Raised Grate for Charcoal
Another thing that will help the charcoal pan is to find a round grate that is only slightly larger than the bottom diameter of the charcoal pan. When you lay this in the bottom of the pan it will leave a space for the ashes to fall down and away from the hot coals.
You can also cut 2 round pieces of chicken wire that is about 1 inch larger than the bottom diameter of your charcoal pan.
Place this in the charcoal pan to lay your coals on.. just like the round grate above, this will allow the coals to set up above the bottom a little allowing the ashes to fall down below instead of smothering them.
Airflow Regulator in Lid
The next thing that will help the smoker is a air regulator in the dome lid.
To facilitate this, use a 1/4 inch drill bit and drill about 8 evenly spaced holes inside of a 4 inch area on the top of the lid.
Attach a 5 inch piece of flat metal with one machine screw so that you can cover the holes in any increment that you need to.
Better Access to Charcoal Pan During Cooking
Another option is to move the legs from the inside of the smoker body to the outside.
You then set the charcoal pan on bricks or some other platform that is not attached to the smoker body.
When you need fresh charcoal you only have to lift the smoker up and off the charcoal pan.. you may need a helping hand with this but I have performed this feat alone on a few occasions.
After dumping the ashes and putting new lit coals in the charcoal pan, you can sit the smoker on top once again.
This preserves heat by not removing the lid and allowing the heat to escape.
Adding a Better Temperature Gauge
As you know, the temperature gauge that ships with the ECB leaves a LOT to be desired! Warm, Ideal and Hot are no use to anyone when smoking and who knows what temperature IDEAL really is.
You can purchase a temperature gauge to install in the lid of the smoker and I highly recommend this. The one I found was at Walmart and was made by Grill Care. It is easily installed into a 7/8 inch hole drilled in the lid of the ECB. A knurled nut tightens onto the back of the gauge with a pair of pliers and keeps it secured to the lid.
Last but Not Least..
These mods are just a start but will allow you to get some good use out of your smoker and allow you a little more control over the heat.
I am convinced that the Brinkmann folks do not use their own smoker (no offense Brinkmann!).. if they ever do then these mods will become standard on every charcoal model.
I hope this has helped the hundreds of you who have written to me over the past several months saying that you cannot get your ECB to heat above 200 degrees and that controlling the heat is almost impossible.
Use the picture links that I have attached to this tutorial to give you a better idea as to how the modifications should be made.
Enjoy your ECB!!

Love the sauce and rubLove the sauce and rub recipes. So far I have used them on beef ribs, pork ribs, and different chicken parts. Can't wait to do a beef brisket. Texas rub is great as well! ~Peter S.
I tried the rub on a beef..I tried the rub on a beef brisket and some beef ribs the other day and our entire family enjoyed it tremendously. I also made a batch of the barbeque sauce that we used on the brisket as well as some chicken. We all agreed it was the best sauce we have had in a while. ~Darwyn B.
Love the original rib rubLove the original rib rub and sauce! We have an annual rib fest competition at the lake every 4th of July. I will say we have won a great percent of the time over the past 15 years so we are not novices by any means. However, we didn't win last year and had to step up our game! We used Jeff's rub and sauce (sauce on the side) and it was a landslide win for us this year! Thanks Jeff for the great recipes. I'm looking forward to trying the Texas style rub in the near future! ~Michelle M.

GourmetGlam's recommendation
Out of the seven machines he tried, Stephen Metcalf ranked this one fifth (second to last). He says, "I like this well-made machine, but if you plan to join the fellowship of the ice-cream nerds, this is merely an inexpensive starter."

Tandt625's recommendation
I received this as a gift and I LOVE it. It is fun to make ice cream with my daughters before dinner and by the time dinner is done, dessert is ready!

Please note: Due to Hurricane Sandy, this preserve is temporarily closed until we are able to fully assess the impacts of the storm. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Long Pond's peaceful meadow blazes with the color of wildflowers in bloom and butterflies in flight. Farther upland, a forest of red maple, tulip and ash displays vivid orange and red foliage in the fall, while the stream, field, marsh and lake contribute their own hues of blue to complete nature's palette at this lovely preserve.
Why We Selected This Site
The Studwell Foundation (representing the Mead family, which owned the property from 1650 to 1970) and a group of local residents donated this preserve to The Nature Conservancy in 1970.
There is one -mile-long, permanent trail on the preserve that can be accessed at an entry point through the gate across from the chapel. Several easy, marked seasonal trails are also cut in the field every year.
Before you visit, please see our Visitation Guidelines and download a trail map.
Heading upland toward the forest, look for signature trees of the mixed deciduous forest such as red maple, tulip and ash. In warmer seasons, look for blooming Indian hemp, periwinkle, wild sarsparilla, pale-spike lobelia and marsh blue violet.
Long Pond has been called one of the finest spots in Westchester to observe a great variety of butterfly species, including red spotted purples, Eastern tailed blues, white admirals and silver spotted skippers. They are especially abundant in mid-summer at the peak of butterfly season.
This 39-acre preserve is located along the western border of Lake Waccabuc in Lewisboro, Westchester County, New York. Download a preserve map to plan your visit to Long Pong Preserve.
- From I-684, take Exit 6.
- Head east on Route 35 for 5.6 miles to Mead Street.
- Turn left, go 1.3 miles to Chapel Road.
- Park in front of the gate directly across from the chapel.

The Sea & Sea YS-02 is a compact slave strobe that can be used for wide-angle or macro photography. With its circular beam angle of 100 x 100° and a guide number of up to 20 it is the perfect strobe for small Point & Shoot cameras or DSLRs. It is best to connect the strobe to the housing with a fiber optic cable. Manual exposure control with this strobe is easy, since it has a ten-level power dial located on the back.
The YS-02 is powered by 4-AA batteries. You can get up to 330 flashes at full power with NiMH batteries. With NiMH batteries you will get a blazing fast 1.9 second recycle time, so you will not miss all the action on the reef.
An external flash is your most important accessory. The ocean is one big, blue filter. As you descend, the reds and oranges quickly become muted shades of blue and gray. Using a color corrected strobe light will bring back your subject's natural color.

Re: Macchiato Tragedy
The story behind the name: I worked in a coffee shop that served the traditional macchiato, straight up espresso with just a dab of milk foam. So many customers mistook it for the Starbucks macchiato with all their flavors and milk happiness. The look on their faces when they saw the little saucer with no Bucks-magic was tragic. Hence, Macchiato Tragedy

Thanks. I wanted to make shirts this week that looked like they could be real bands, and not bands with pretty, cute animals, or bad puns. I wanted my shirts to get people to ask if that was a real band.
Funny, quirky, like it!

This is the story of how a spooky horse won me a free video game.
…And now that that's out of the way, let's talk about the game itself!
Woah Dave! is a tiny arcade game from Minivisions, the one-man offshoot of Choice Provisions (previously known as Gaijin Games) manned by Jason Cirillo. I've been a longtime fan of Choice's BIT.TRIP series, and seeing how this is their first non-BIT.TRIP game since lilt line back on WiiWare, I was really interested in checking it out.
The gameplay is super-simple: eggs and skulls fall from the sky. The eggs eventually hatch into aliens, and the skulls eventually explode. Throw skulls and eggs at aliens to collect coins. Don't touch aliens or explosions. Collect as many coins as possible.
With really simple, elegant gameplay like that, it's perfect to play just for a few minutes. I tend to find myself playing for a lot longer, though… I dig it a lot.
Don't go in expecting a ton of modes--there's only one mode and then a harder version of it called "Bonker Mode." That might not sound like much, but what's there is really, really fun. Bonkers is the perfect word to describe the game.
This being a one-screen indie arcade game, it's pretty natural to want to compare it to Super Crate Box, but aside from the level layout, the two games play very differently. Woah Dave! is more like a crazy-fast version of Mario Bros. than anything—and any of you who have played the later stages in Mario Bros. know how much fun a faster version would be.
So yeah, very simple, very elegant, very crazy game—definitely worth checking out if you're into the genre. Think of it like you're paying five bucks upfront to play the best arcade game ever for as long as you want instead opposed to putting in a quarter each time.
My high score is $2.07. Beat it...

Gator Baseball Routed By Wildcats 14-1
Published May 21st, 2011
Loading Video...
The No. 4 Florida Gator baseball team had a chance to clinch the SEC regular season title on Friday night, but Alex Meyer had other ideas. The six-foot nine starting pitcher for Kentucky dominated throughout the evening, going seven strong innings, striking out nine, and limiting the Florida offense to a mere one-earned run, as the Gators fell to the Wildcats 14-1. Florida fell into another three-way tie in the SEC with the loss, as South Carolina and Vanderbilt were both victorious on Friday. The Gators have another chance to claim a share of the SEC crown with a win versus the Wildcats, Saturday at 4 p.m.

Samuel Gockel '13 Awarded GlaxoSmithKline Fellowship
Posted by Miles Taylor '13, Wood Lake on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012
Samuel Gockel '13, Saint Paul, was granted a GlaxoSmithKline fellowship for conducting summer research with Nancy Carpenter, professor of chemistry. The highly competitive award allowed Gockel to pursue independent research in the hope of later being published.
The GlaxoSmithKline Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship Award provides funding for undergraduate research in synthetic organic, and/or analytical chemistry. The fund is intended for the students to carry out summer research in the institution that they currently attend under the guidance of their research advisor. It is designed to encourage deserving undergraduate students to consider a career in chemistry. The fellowship is awarded to five applicants annually and funds a minimum of ten weeks of full-time summer research. Gockel's fellowship ran from May 27 through July 27, 2012.
Gockel's research focused on the creation of a molecule for use in therapeutic drugs, one that produces less waste and uses fewer resources. Through a type of chemical reaction called Suzuki Coupling, Gockel worked to replicate the complexity of organic molecules using synthetic ones.
Gockel has continued this research through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program at the University of Minnesota, Morris, with the hope of producing a paper to publish his forthcoming results.

''We would be delighted to go, we'd jump at the chance,'' Proteas coach Mickey Arthur told SuperCricket.
''Although I must stress that I have heard absolutely nothing official and I think it's nothing more than speculation at the moment,'' he added.
South Africans pulled out of the Sri Lanka Unitech Cup citing security concerns thus rendering the tri-series a three-match event between the hosts and India. The bi-series was also scraped later due to bad weather.
''We were very frustrated at what happened in Sri Lanka and we hope Pakistan and England are able to sort things out, but -- although there would be a heck of a lot to organise -- we'd love to fill the gap if it ever came to that,'' Arthur said.
Relations between Pakistan, the ICC and England soured badly during the fourth and final test when Australian umpire Darrell Hair accused the tourists of ball-tampering, penalised them five runs and offered England's batsmen the choice of a replacement ball.
Pakistan refused to take the field after the tea break on the fourth day and the test match was subsequently forfeited and awarded to England.

Desperate Networks (Doubleday, 384 pages, $26.95) By Bill Carter
Ten years ears after analyzing the bitter Leno vs. Letterman feud in The Late Show, New York Times TV correspondent Bill Carter returns with a compelling portrait — half forensic-procedural, half corporate reality-soap — of the years leading up to the 2004-2005 TV season that transformed prime-time TV beyond recognition. The period saw unprecedented changes in the television marketplace — particularly the atomization of the prime-time audience by the Internet, video games and cable — that left the Big Four struggling to retain market shares. Carter's detailed, energetic reporting — remarkably little of it off-the-record — covers every blood-soaked theater of the war: the sudden ascendancy of reality TV; the passage of serious network news into near-irrelevancy; Les Moonves' transformation of geriatric-oriented CBS into an 18-49 powerhouse; and ABC's struggle to make Lost and Desperate Housewives despite the ever vigilant control of the "notorious tightwads at Disney." Carter ably surveys Titanic flops, Himalayan egos and Vesuvian temper-tantrums, leavened occasionally by that rare butt-saving megahit. If the book has a hero, it's Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry: 40-plus, $30K in debt to his mom, embezzled by his own agent, his golden years as producer and director of Golden Girls apparently far behind him, he persists with a pilot script widely considered "no-notes" perfect, which is nonetheless rejected by every greenlighter in town. In life, as on TV, it's always nice when the little guy prevails.

Israeli forces killed two girls in an air attack on Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip early Tuesday. Local sources report that a missile destroyed a house belonging to Talal Hamdan in Beit Hanoun today, killing his two daughters of 12 and 4 years old. A son is reported seriously injured. Yesterday Israeli forces killed four sisters and a four year old boy. Over 40 children have been killed since Saturday.
Israel accused of ramming Gaza aid ship
Activists trying to bring aid to Gaza today claimed their boat had been rammed by Israeli gunboats in a "criminal attack" in international waters.
The Free Gaza Movement said its vessel, the Dignity, was intercepted by several Israeli vessels as it was heading to the Gaza Strip, which has been under Israeli aerial bombardment since Saturday.
One gunboat rammed the Dignity on the port bow side, causing heavy damage, although no one was hurt, the group said.
The True Story Behind This War is Not the One Israel is Telling
The world isn't just watching the Israeli government commit a crime in Gaza; we are watching it self-harm. This morning, and tomorrow morning, and every morning until this punishment-beating ends, the young people of the Gaza Strip are going to be more filled with hate, and more determined to fight back, with stones or suicide-vests or rockets. Israel's leaders have convinced themselves the harder you beat the Palestinians, the softer they will become. But when this is over, the rage against Israelis will have hardened, and the same old compromises will still be waiting by the roadside of history, untended and unmade.
Israel Accused Of Massive War Crime Atrocities
Falk, United Nations Special Investigator for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, listed numerous actions by Israel that clearly break the rules of engagement codified in the Geneva Conventions.
These include; collective punishment of the 1.5 million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip for the actions of relatively few militants; the indiscriminate targeting of civilians including school children and university students during air strikes, with hundreds now dead or injured; a disproportionate military response which has destroyed every police and security office of Gaza's elected government.
Israel has also sealed off entry and exit points to the Gaza Strip, causing severe shortages of medicine, food and fuel and hampering efforts to treat victims of the bombing raids.
Child maid trafficking spreads from Africa to US
The trafficking of children for domestic labor in the U.S. is an extension of an illegal but common practice in Africa. Families in remote villages send their daughters to work in cities for extra money and the opportunity to escape a dead-end life.

The Israelis killed 150 Palestinians with more expected to die. The Israeli government says it is just the beginning.

What are e-cigarettes (e cigarettes)?
e-cigarettes are smokable, refillable or replaceable cartridges or containers that hold liquid that contains nicotine, solvents, and flavors. When a person inhales ("vaping"), they are putting a negative pressure on the device that triggers a battery to heat the liquid solution, which is then atomized into inhalable vapor.
Do e-cigarettes contain nicotine?
Depending upon the cartridge, it may contain no nicotine or up to about 16 mg nicotine. One container or cartridge has enough fluid for about 250 "puffs." However, nicotine concentrations and fluid volumes plus the compounds in the fluids can vary, depending upon who makes the e- cigarette.
Are e-cigarettes safe to use, and what are the side effects?
It is not known how safe or how unsafe these products are. Nonetheless, nicotine is considered to be very addictive, and that seems to be a cause for concern. Low doses may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and eye irritation. High doses of nicotine may cause tachycardia, high blood pressure, seizures, coma, and death. Also, the FDA reported detecting ethylene glycol in some of the e-cigarettes and cancer-causing substances called nitrosamines in others.
It took several decades to determine problems associated with tobacco use. It is likely that it will also take some time and study to determine how safe (or unsafe) e-cigarettes are. Experts claim that in order to stop cigarette smoking, it is probably better to use studied material such as nicotine gum, nicotine patches and/or counseling than to use e-cigarettes. They also suggest people don't start smoking e-cigarettes for fun or for quitting any tobacco products. Currently, the FDA is considering several types of regulations concerning e-cigarettes, and perhaps treating them like tobacco products.
Recently, the CDC published a report about the number of calls to poison centers involving e-cigarette liquids containing nicotine. The proportion of calls to poison centers increased from 0.3% in 2010 to 41.7% as of February 2014. The bulk of these calls are related to small children that open the liquid nicotine containers. The liquid nicotine containers are not childproof; they appeal to young children because of the candy and fruit flavors. They can cause vomiting, and eye irritation.

Older dog getting her period, after not having it for a long time. HELP!
Do older dogs stop having their period at a certain age? My dog is about 12 years old, and one day when I was brushing her hair, her period came on. I noticed it, when I saw blood on the floor when she got up, and her "pee-pee" was swollen. So I knew it was her period. My dog hasn't had her period in years... like, it's been a while. We don't know exactly how long... but it's been a while. It's been on for about two weeks, or so, now. I don''t know exactly how long. It went from being like a regular reddish color, to more of a darker red, now. Her behavior has't changed much, except for the fact that she's a lot hyper than usual. She's constantly asking for something, like barking and whining. By the way, she is a maltese poodle.

Dogs don't get "periods", not in the same sense that people do, rather heat cycles (AKA "in season" or estrus) where they are capable of becoming pregnant. And they continue throughout the dog's life.
It is odd that she hasn't one in years. She's probably been having "silent heats", they're not usually noticeable.
Heat last for about three weeks usually. It can and does vary to a great extent, but usually it's the first week where you see blood if I remember correctly.
Cookies 'n' Creme (1998-2011) answered on 7/20/10. Helpful? / 0
If she hasn't been in heat for a while and is not spayed, and suddenly appears to be in heat I would get her checked by a veterinarian as soon as possible since it is very possible that she has pyometria, which is a serious uterine infection. This can be extremely serious, even fatal if not treated immediately. Good luck!
