Plastic canvas is a safe, lightweight material that is easily embellished to make a variety of different crafts. Because it is flat and does not mold easily, box shapes are some of the simplest shapes to make with plastic canvas. You can use a plastic canvas to make a small log cabin as a toy, decoration or ornament. Because this is a custom piece, you will need to make your own pattern, which has some challenges. But creating a log cabin is not difficult.
Things You'll Need
- Pencil
- Graph paper
- Ruler
- Colored pencils
- Pen
- Scissors
- Plastic canvas
- Colored yarn
- Tapestry needle
- White or craft glue
Decide upon the dimensions of the log cabin. You can potentially make it any size. However, a very large log cabin may be difficult to work with and unstable. Conversely, you also do not want to make a log cabin that is too small for you to handle easily with your fingers. Write down the dimensions that you want so that you can use them to create the log cabin pattern.
Create a basic house pattern using the graph paper. You can find a house pattern online or create your own. You will need seven basic pieces: a front and back, two sides, two roof pieces and a base. The front and back pieces will make an irregular pentagon shape. They must be symmetrical, identical and have an odd number of squares so that there is one square for the peak of the roof. From the bottom to the peak is the height of the house, and from side to side is the width. The exact angle of the roof does not matter as long as the pieces are identical.
The two side pieces must be the length of the house, and the height of the sides of the front and back pieces so that they connect neatly. The two roof pieces must be at least the width of the top angle of the front and back pieces, and the length of the side walls. However, you can make them slightly larger to create an overhang, which is attractive. The base is a simple rectangle that is the length and width of the house.
Draw windows and doors on the pattern, as well as the textures for the roof and sides. To make the house look like a log cabin, it must be striped. Thick stripes represent the logs, and thin stripes represent the space between them. The roof does not require a texture, but if your log cabin is large you can use small rectangles to represent tiles.
Determine which colors you will use. Write which colors belong in which locations on the pattern itself, or you can lightly color the pattern with colored pencils for easy reference. You must purchase yarn that matches the colors of the log cabin.
Cut out the pattern pieces and trace onto the plastic canvas with a pen, or place the plastic canvas over the pattern and trace - do whichever you find easier. Cut out the canvas pieces with a scissors. Carefully remove any pieces sticking out from the edges so that all of the canvas edges are smooth and square.
Stitch the pattern onto each log cabin piece with a tapestry needle and yarn, using the pattern that you drew as a reference. Cover the end of the yarn by making sure that the backs of your first stitches cover it. Hide the end when you have finished stitching by running the needle under some of the threads on the back and pulling through.
There are several stitches that you can use, but a simple continental stitch is an easy way to cover large areas. With this stitch, put the tapestry needle through a hole in the canvas and pull the yarn through. Then put the needle into the square at the top right corner of the square you started in and pull it through. Put the needle into the square to the right of the one you started in, and repeat. You can also use this stitch in an up-and-down pattern. All of the stitches must face the same direction.
Use a whip stitch to join the front, back and sides of the log cabin to the base when you have finished stitching in the pattern. The pattern must face the outside on each piece. A whip stitch is a simple stitch designed to hold the pieces together. Put the needle through a hole at the corner of one piece, pull the yarn through, then put the needle through the corresponding corner on another piece. Draw the yarn through and repeat to the end of the edge to join two pieces together. Hide the ends of the yarn in the same manner as a continental stitch.
Fold the sides of the log cabin up. Use a whip stitch to hold them in place.
Whip stitch the top edges of the roof together. Use the same stitch to cover the edges of the roof so that the plastic canvas does not show.
Use a small amount of white glue or craft glue along the top edges of the log cabin, and glue on the roof.
Tips & Warnings
- There are many ways to vary or embellish this pattern. A chimney is a good addition to a log cabin. You could create notches at the ends of the sides, front and back to create the look of interlocking logs or add shutters as well.

A passion that won't be denied despite the circumstances. Though Leigh cared deeply for Jim, it was his fiery older brother Tre who held the key to her heart. For the past ten years she's lived with the daily pain of knowing that Tre turned his back on the passion that had flared hot and bright between them. A second chance at a once-in-a-lifetime love. Tre knew from the moment that he first saw Leigh stroking his half-wild horse that her elegant, delicate appearance belied the depth and strength of her spirit. He'd dared to make Leigh his own, showing loyalty to nothing and no one beyond the laws of nature that clearly decreed that she was his. When Leigh denied what should have been undeniable, he knew the bitter taste of betrayal. Now a family tragedy has forced Tre and Leigh together once again. Guilt, anger and betrayal rage between them, but so does a desire hot enough to incinerate all else in its wake.

text: I forgot to mention my latest BBQ encounter in Boston at Chris's BBQ on Dorchester Ave. I only had the pork rib dinner, so I can't comment on the rest of the menu, but the ribs were quite good and flavorful. I'll need to make a few more visits to rate it on an absolute BBQ scale, but on this preliminary visit, it seems to rank way better than Redbones, and competes with Blue Ribbon. The best surprise at Chris's (and the reason why I'm writing) is the hot sauce they make there. They brew their own hot sauce, and boy is it good. Medium spiced and vinegary like your louisiana hot sauce but way more flavor. They didn't have a lot there but it might be worth sneaking a small container of the stuff. I was tempted to go back and do just that with my own squeeze bottle.

Therefore the world of phenomena cannot be understood as being at rest.
Old English understandan "comprehend, grasp the idea of," probably literally "stand in the midst of," from under + standan "to stand" (see stand). If this is the meaning, the under is not the usual word meaning "beneath," but from Old English under, from PIE *nter- "between, among" (cf. Sanskrit antar "among, between," Latin inter "between, among," Greek entera "intestines;" see inter-).
That is the suggestion in Barnhart, but other sources regard the "among, between, before, in the presence of" sense of Old English prefix and preposition under as other meanings of the same word. "Among" seems to be the sense in many Old English compounds that resemble understand, e.g. underniman "to receive," undersecan "to investigate," underginnan "to begin." It also seems to be the sense still in expressions such as under such circumstances.
Perhaps the ultimate sense is "be close to," cf. Greek epistamai "I know how, I know," literally "I stand upon." Similar formations are found in Old Frisian (understonda), Middle Danish (understande), while other Germanic languages use compounds meaning "stand before" (cf. German verstehen, represented in Old English by forstanden). For this concept, most Indo-European languages use figurative extensions of compounds that literally mean "put together," or "separate," or "take, grasp" (see comprehend). Old English oferstandan, Middle English overstonden, literally "over-stand" seem to have been used only in literal senses.

Alexander Skarsgard Will Eat Your Taco
Lupita Hernandez had come to America with nothing but the dream of starting a family. But after years of scraping together every dime she had to see doctors all over California and asking every priest she could find to ask God to bless her with a child, she realized that version of her dream wasn't meant to be. And so she reconciled herself to working tirelessly at her brother's taco stand to perhaps one day adopt, but a car accident here, a surgery there and she was no closer to her dream than she was before. For such is life.
But then one day a beautiful Swedish man beckoned to her while she was scrubbing the enchilada grill.
"Can I get some more salsa?" he asked. And so Lupita brought him the salsa.
But as she turned to walk back to the kitchen, she felt a kick. A kick she had waited her whole life for. As joy overcame her, Lupita soon found herself giving birth in the broom closet during the lunch rush and by dinner, her new son had taken his first step. That boy's name? Edward James Olmos.

Using Subscription options to manage overload on Facebook
Suddenly Facebook looks different, and there's a lot more information flooding our pages. Just a few simple changes will put you back in control. It doesn't have to be a big effort – I've summarised below a few quick changes that might help.
Remember, you may not have all tehse new options available yet – but it's only a matter of time before they catch up with you.
So far I've only used the Subscribe option to "follow" a couple of writers who are using it to make public updates. It seems to me that this is Facebook's version of Twitter – it allows people to share public posts with people without establishing a reciprocal friendship.
However, we are also automatically Subscribed to our existing and new friends' posts, and by altering the default settings we can control more of what we see in our Ticker and in our Newsfeed. It really doesn't have any impact on privacy.
The Ticker is the new stream of information on the right of your screen; the Newsfeed is the Home page you are used to.
There are two places to alter the settings.
1. On your friend's page. Underneath your little profile picture on the blue bar at the top of the screen, there's a box that says Subscribed, followed by a tick. Click on that and select from the options.
2. Hover over your friend's name on any post, and a pop up appears, also allowing you to access the Subscribed options.
You can go through all your friends and alter the settings, but that's a bit compulsive, so this is what I'd suggest.
1. There may be some friends and family you want to keep track of. You can alter the subscription settings on them to "All Updates" For most others, I would leave it at the default setting of "Most" – which has the benefit of not having to do anything.
2. Perhaps your ticker or feed is overwhelmed with one person's music, or another person's game addiction? Pop into their settings and untick the appropriate box.
3. Conversely, maybe all you have in common with one of your friends is a game you both play – in that case, untick everything except games. Perhaps one friend you are only interested in their Status updates, or another you just want to see their photos. You now get to choose.
4. There may be some people in your friends who you don't want to offend by unfriending, but whose constant stream of updates is not to your taste – in that case click the Unsubscribe option at the bottom and it removes them from your ticker and your newsfeed.
You can change these settings if you change your mind, of course. And you can always go and take a look at your friend's page to check out their other shared activities – at a time of your own choosing and not just when prompted by the Ticker or the Newsfeed.
Hope this helps.
Please do share any other tips.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Bystolic is eliminated from the body in 90 hours, from the last dose.
Please feel free for your follow up questions.
Dr. Arun
I went to the ER this Monday for chest pain. EKG, Cat Scan, and Echocardiagram showed heart was okay.
I was switched from 5mg of Bystolic to 2.5 mg of Novasrc on Tuesday because I was dizzy on Bystolic.
Chest pain seems to be getting worse my only symptom. Do you have any suggestions?
Chest pain is a known side effect of the Norvasc. Please see the side effect section of the resource;
Since cardiac causes are ruled out by your extensive work up; non cardiac causes of chest pain should be considered for your present symptom, apart from Norvasc side effect. Following should be the possibilities;1) GERD would be prime consideration as it is one of the commonest cause for non cardiac chest pain.2) Hiatus hernia3) Esophagitis4) Costochondritis; it is inflammation at the junctions of rib and cartilage or with the breast bone / sternum. Local analgesic ointment, or spray, chest brace and warm compresses with Ibuprofen is helpful. Another possibility is muscle sprain. Please read about the costochondritis; http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/costochondritis/DS00626
5) Esophageal spasmPlease feel free for your follow up questions.Dr. Arun

Re: Anyone else ready for a real 7D replacement?
Sometimes, I think that there can be value in putting things in perspective. I am amazed when I look at how much DSLR technology has advanced in about a decade.
My first DSLR was a 10D in 2003. That was the camera for which I decided that the technology and price point were at levels that made moving into a digital SLR practical and worthwhile. With that camera, I was able, usually, to get a static subject in focus. With some luck, I got moving subjects in focus. I could shoot at an amazing 3 frames per second and buffer 8 or 9 shots. If I hit the buffer limit, I could go to get a cup of coffee while waiting for the buffer to clear. And I could shoot at an astounding ISO 800 level (if I was willing to tolerate lots of noise in exchange for getting the shot).
Over the course of nearly a decade, I continued to chase the advancing technology and owned a 1D Mark II, a 1D Mark III, a 1D Mark IV, every x0D camera from the 10D to the 50D, and a 7D. As I moved from one body to another, I eventually realized that the technology was advancing at a rate many times faster than were my skill and ability. Further, I realized that, as much as I enjoyed using the improvements in each generation of camera bodies, the improvements in the quality of my images were only very marginal with each camera upgrade.
Now, for the first time, I have no interest whatever in upgrading the two camera bodies that I am currently using (a 1D Mark IV and a 7D). Not only is each of them amazing, in terms of its capabilities, in its own right, but the strengths of each complement those of the other quite well for my uses. I have all the pixels that I want. I have AF systems in both bodies for which I can say that, when I get an out-of-focus image, it is my fault and not that of the camera. I can shoot at ISOs beyond levels that I am likely to need, and I have feature sets that I never would have imagined, ten years ago, would have existed.
While I\'m sure that the 1DX and a potential 7D Mark II will have improvements over my 1D Mark IV and 7D, I\'m also confident that those improvements would have a very negligible effect on the quality of my photography, and I am happy to know that I am comfortable with taking a break from continuing to chase the technology.

Today's guest post is from Marcia Layton Turner, a writer I've known for years and one of the smartest businesswomen out there. Marcia is also a savvy couponer, and is the author of Extreme Couponer: Insider Secrets to Getting Groceries for Free. In this post Marcia offers her advice on the 6 most overlooked ways to save money when shopping. Take it away, Marcia!
Free groceries are hard to come by, despite what you see on TLC's "Extreme Couponing" show. However, there are some lesser-known sources of savings that can help dramatically trim your weekly grocery budget. Here are six of the most overlooked:
- Take advantage of rebates. We hear a lot about print and Internet coupons that can save us money, but the truth is that rebates can save much more money, and with much less effort. The biggest distributor of rebates is beer manufacturers, who frequently post tear pads of rebate forms on displays in the supermarket, liquor or package store. Check eBay to see what is currently in circulation.
- Ask for coupons. If there is a particular product you love and would like to buy more frequently, email the manufacturer and tell them that. Express why you like their product and ask if they can send you some coupons. In most cases, they will.
- Earn them. Rewards programs like MyCokeRewards and Recyclebank offer coupons in exchange for points earned. Those coupons can be printed and redeemed immediately.
- Order them. If you find a high value coupon for a product that will be on sale in the coming week, stock up on as many as you can by ordering them from a coupon clipping service. You pay a few cents to have the coupons you need clipped and mailed to you, but this is how you can reduce your spending and build a stockpile of items you use regularly. Five coupon services I use are ClippityQ, Coupons by Dede, Rebecca's Coupons and Forms, The Coupon Clippers, and The Coupon Master.
- Like them. Facebook has become the place for manufacturers to connect with consumers. By "Liking" their fan page, you can often receive high value or free product coupons. Search Facebook to find brands and manufacturers you buy regularly and then click "Like" to qualify for special savings.
- Make multiple trips. With grocery stores now limiting the number of coupons you can redeem in a single trip, it may make sense to make several trips to the store each week – especially if it's on your usual driving route.
Gathering high value coupons doesn't have to be a full-time job. You just have to know where to look for them.

Regional Reviews: San Francisco
Silent Sky and
Also see Patrick's review of Journey's End
Silent Sky is the story of pioneering American astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, who in the early 20th century made a breakthrough discovery that assisted experts in measuring distances in the sparkling universe.
The audience first meets Henrietta (Elena Wright) outside her New England childhood home. She has just graduated from Ratcliff and is full of life. She is interested in astronomy, to the consternation of her religious older sister Margaret (Jennifer Le Blanc). Henrietta spends all of her dowry money to go to Harvard, hoping for a shot at working with the world's finest telescope. Unfortunately, upon arriving at observatory she finds she is not allowed to get near the telescope since only males are permitted at the core of the observatory. She is given a job in what the others call a "harem," as one of the women "computers." These were women who catalogued the brightness of stars in photographic plates from the telescope at 30 cents an hour.
Henrietta meets fellow employees Williamina Fleming (Lynne Soffer) and Annie Jump Cannon (Sarah Dacey Charles) along with her immediate boss, self-righteous scientist Peter Shaw (Matt Citron). Later in the play the awkward Peter becomes a love interest for Henrietta. Much of the second act is centered around the nicely rendered courtship scenes between the two.
Silent Sky is probably Gunderson's best work so far. There are bursts of clever, infectious humor, especially from the mouth of Williamina Fleming, along with sparkling conversation among the three women working in the office of the observatory.
Meredith McDonough has effectively orchestrated this period piece about astronomical cartography. Elena Wright gives a beautiful performance as Henrietta. She shows the terrific spunky side of the amateur astronomer who, even with a slight hearing problem and the prejudice against woman in this field, succeeded in coming up with significant observations on the universe that helped paved the way for luminaries such as Edwin Hubble to prove the Milky Way is its own galaxy.
Lynne Soffer is splendid as the wisecracking Williamina, sporting a wonderful Scottish accent, with the best witty lines of the play. Sarah Dacey Charles gives a perfect portrayal of the snappish women's rights advocate Annie.
Jennifer Le Blanc gives an interesting nuanced performance as the sister Margaret who alternates between devoutness and antipathy. Matt Citron gives an impressive performance as the awkward supervisor Peter.
Anne Smart has devised a marvelous set with an observatory at center stage and a sky ablaze with twinkling stars, and Fumiko Bielefeldt has designed some wonderful hoop skirts. Lighting designer Paul Toben brilliantly lights the sky with sparkling lights to represent stars.
Silent Sky runs through February 9th at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro Street, Mountain View. For tickets please call 650-463-1960 or visit www.theatreworks.org. Coming up next is the exuberant Caribbean musical Once on this Island at the Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Rd, Palo Alto.
Multi-award winning Linda Kosut, a San Francisco based singer whose warm, lush sounding voice brings fresh takes to music old and new, brought new her show called Easy Come, Easy Go: The Music of Johnny Green to the Society Cabaret on January 17 and 18. The consummate artist is known for her mastery of a broad range of musical styles from jazz to folk to pop. Backed by the incomparable Mike Greensill Trio, with Mike on piano, Alan Hall on drums, and Tom Shader on bass, she delivered her material with reassured delight in a throaty alto voice.
The singer succeeded in showing the versatility in the very talented Johnny Green's melodies, working with various lyricists such as Ed Heyman, Leo Robin, Ted Koehler, Yip Harburg and Johnny Mercer. Many of the songs have not been heard in clubs and cabarets, such as two written for Deanna Durbin in the 1948 film Something in the Wind: The rarely heard "The Turntable Song" and "You Wanna Keep Your Baby Looking Right" were pleasantly sung by the chanteuse.
The artist poignantly sang a 1929 song written for Gertrude Lawrence called "Candlelight," and she also spritely sang "Betty Boop," the theme song for the 1932 cartoon of the same name (Linda and Mike Greensill have jazzily adapted it for the trio). The songstress was articulate in such songs as "Derry Down Dilly," which was written for Marge Champion for the film Everything I Have is Yours, and she also sang with great feeling "There's a Ring Around the Moon."
Linda Kosut rendered two of Johnny Green's best known songs, the great jazz standards "I Cover the Waterfront" and "Body and Soul," with excellent backup from the Greensill Trio.
Between the songs the songstress talked to the audience, sharing the background of a song's history, though it never interrupted the flow of the set piece. She certainly put a fresh slant on some of the little known songs of Johnny Green. This was a classy and intimate evening at Society Cabaret in the Hotel Rex, 562 Sutter Street, San Francisco. For a list of upcoming shows go to www.societycabaret.com.

Manchester United will spend Monday morning assessing the injury sustained by Nani after the tackle from Liverpool's Jamie Carragher in Sunday's Premier League match.
The Portuguese winger was caught above the shinpad by Carragher's lunge shortly before half-time during United's defeat at Anfield. He left the field on a stretcher, apparently in tears, with the club confirming that he had suffered a "very deep gash".
Carragher's challenge provoked the Manchester United chief executive, David Gill, to confront Mike Riley, the referee's chief, and ask why the Liverpool defender had not been sent off. United refused to give interviews to media after the match.
There was some good news for the Premier League leaders, with Antonio Valencia travelling to Anfield with the rest of the United squad. He was not among the substitutes but has recently returned to full training.

Jamaica's Burton scores first goal for Sheffield WednesdayMonday, March 13, 2006
by Gary Smith
LONDON, England: Jamaican international Deon Burton scored his first goal for Sheffield Wednesday in their 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers in a Coca-Cola Football League Championship match at Hillsborough on Saturday.
Burton sent the home side in front with just 13-minutes on the clock from a Glenn Whelan's flicked-through ball.
The Jamaican and former Derby County frontman took advantage of a lazy Rangers backline to send the stands containing 22,788 fans to their feet, after Chris Brunt took a quick throw-in to Whelan, who serviced Burton behind the defenders.
Apart from scoring Burton made two brilliant passes to his striking partner Marcus Tudgay which brought out two excellent saves from goalkeeper Paul Jones.
After the match Wednesday manager Paul Sturrock said he was relieved to see Burton finally hit the net after the goal drought he's had since his signing.
"That was long overdue," Sturrock said. "There's been tension in his play because of the lack of goals but in the last two games he's been outstanding in running the line and his hold-up play."
Wednesday dominated for most of the game and Sturrock said it was disappointing to see his team failing the secure maximum points.
"We're disappointed but we've got to keep our heads up. It's turned into a four-horse race now. We have to move onwards and upwards."
Burton and his struggling Wednesday side are now firmly embroiled in a battle with Millwall, Brighton and Crewe, with only one team set to seal Championship survival.Back...

Want to get ahead in politics? Or simply curious to know the byzantine and bizarre rules of the game? Gyles Brandreth has some witty and illuminating insights into how to scale the Westminster ladders while avoiding being bitten by the snakes.
Gyles Brandreth became the Conservative MP for Chester in 1992 and three years later became a junior member of John Major's government. He lost his seat in the Labour landslide of 1997.
His was one of parliament's more unusual careers. His entry in Who's Who - one of the longer ones - encompasses mentions of a teddy-bear museum, the National Scrabble Championships and the world record for the longest after-dinner speech.
Even in parliament he could not escape his past - being mocked by John Prescott for his love of woolly jumpers.
His insight of Parliament and government was revealed in his acclaimed diaries of the Major years. And over four series of Sunday Supplements comes more advice for the wannabe politician.
Series One
In 'Brandreth on Office', first broadcast on The Westminster Hour in 2001, the one-time MP spills the beans on getting to the top - even half-way up - the famous greasy-pole of political achievement.
In Part One, Gyles Brandreth gives tips on becoming an MP for the first time.
In Part Two, he explains how to survive as an MP once you have been elected to Parliament.
In Part Three, Gyles Brandreth explores what life is like when you become a minister.
Series Two
In 'The Brandreth Rules', first broadcast on The Westminster Hour in July 2003, Gyles Brandreth lays out his advice on the do's and don'ts of political life.
With the help of former colleagues and adversaries, including ex-Tory cabinet ministers Kenneth Clarke and Gillian Shepherd, he passes on the experience he picked up in five years in Parliament.
In Part Two, Gyles Brandreth talked about how to survive in the Westminster Jungle.
In Part Three, he revealed the mysteries of the Whips Office. A former Tory whip himself, he advises the aspiring politico how to deal with the disciplinary branch.
In Part Four, Gyles Brandreth explained how politicians should cope with political scandal - whether it's a moment of madness on Clapham Common, a torrid affair with a prime minister to be or a pinch of perjury in a libel trial.
Series Three
Gyles Brandreth returned with more tips in another series of 'The Brandreth Rules', first broadcast on The Westminster Hour in January 2005.
In Part One he warned the ambitious politico: enjoy power while it lasts.
In Part Two, he offered some tips on how to stay at the top, and, as importantly, advice on how to depart with some dignity.
Series Four
For decades members of political parties have congregated in seaside resorts for their annual conferences. For some those unseasonal trips to the seaside are the highlight of the year. But they're also a gruelling test of stamina. So how to survive them ?
In 'The Brandreth Rules for Party Conference', first broadcast on The Westminster Hour in the Autumn of 2005, Gyles Brandreth offers his own tips.
In Part One, he reveals how to survive the week at the seaside - from booking accommodation to getting enough sleep.
In Part Two, Gyles Brandreth asked how the ambitious politician fashion a speech to rouse them in the Winter Gardens. He has his tips to guarantee a standing ovation and turn yourself into a conference darling.
In Part Three, he exposes the plotting that goes on at the seaside - the ear-bending, arm-twisting, and back-stabbing. What tips are there for successful subterfuge?
Following the series, Gyles Brandreth made a speech of his own to the Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool on Thursday 6 October 2005.

The Morning Ledger: Low Rates Cut Two Ways
Businesses balk at tax proposals. We're not hearing much praise from the business community for President Obama's tax proposals in the State of the Union address. Tom Deas, treasurer of fertilizer maker FMC Corp., told us the president's call for a minimum tax on overseas profits could make American multinationals less competitive. "If it's demonstrably better for a U.S. company that makes products overseas to place factories near their customers," it shouldn't be penalized for making that business decision, he said. Snap-On CEO Nicholas Pinchuk told the Journal's John Bussey that he liked the proposal to ease the tax burden for domestic manufacturers, but Obama "seemed to mention several new regulations even as he spoke of reduction." And the former CFO of a large consumer products company suggested that rather than penalizing companies for offshoring jobs, the government should use tax policy to incentivize job creation in the U.S. "Our government must recognize we live in a world economy, not a U.S. economy," he said.
That's a message Corporate America is going to have to make forcefully next month when the Treasury Department outlines corporate-tax code changes. The WSJ says the administration understands the "political challenges of crafting tax changes. But part of their strategy is to begin negotiations with Republicans and business groups now so changes might be added at the end of the year when Congress decides how to address the expiring Bush-era tax cuts."
The day ahead. Weekly jobless claims are expected to bounce back up a bit after last week's surprisingly big drop. Durable goods orders for December are expected to rise, but at a slower pace than in November. New home sales and leading indicators for December are both expected to show some improvement.
Caterpillar reports Q4 results any minute now, and it's expected to have closed out the year on a strong note. But with Asia slowing and the euro-zone's prospects uncertain, 2012 might be challenging. As Ahead of the Tape's Kelly Evans says: "The trouble with being a global industrial company is that the global industrial cycle is ultimately out of your hands."

How to perform a Benedict's Test
Benedicts Test for Glucose
1. Using a clean 50 mL beaker, obtain 10 mL of a 1% (w/v) glucose
2. Clearly label four clean 13x100 mm test tubes for your standards.
Mix the appropriate amounts of glucose solution, distilled water,
and Benedict's solution in the properly labeled test tubes as
indicated by the following table. You will also need one test
tube for the glucose solution made by each student in your group.
3. Mix the contents of each tube by gently shaking the test tubes
back and forth.
4. Place the tubes in a test tube rack and set the rack in the
water bath. CAUTION! The water is very hot.
5. Incubate the tubes for 20 minutes.
6. Remove your test tubes and allow them to cool.
7. Transfer the contents to 15 mL centrifuge tubes and spin for
two minutes Your instructor will tell you which program to use.
If there are still suspended debris in any of the tubes, centrifuge
for two more minutes.
**It is important that the solution be clear for the absorbance
measurements. If there is solid matter suspended in the solution,
the light being sent through the sample will be scattered and
will cause error in the measurements.
8. Decant the supernatants into clean, labeled test tubes. Be
careful that any sediment remains in the pellet at the bottom
of the centifuge.
9. Determine the O.D. of each of the samples using a spectrophotometer
set to read at 735 nm. Use distilled water to set the 100%T.
10. Prepare a graph of the standard solutions and determine the
concentration of each unknown.

The FA's development director wants to meet football's professional bodies to enforce stricter rulings for coaches.
"It would be good to set a standard right at the top level because that sends a message," he told BBC Sport.
"We need to sit down with the professional game and try to get consistency right across the board."
Brooking's comments follow the Premier League's decision to allow Gareth Southgate to continue as Middlesbrough boss despite not having the necessary qualifications.
Southgate has asked for changes to the coaching system but Brooking fears that a lack of support from clubs will delay an improvement in standards.
"We are behind a number of countries and we have to catch up," Brooking said.
"It's fair to say we came into this late. Other countries like Spain, Germany, France, even the Czech Republic are above us on those that are through on the 'A' Licence and Pro Licence.
"What we're all after is a bit of quality in this country and you have to give a bit of time and commitment to get there.
"We must get the support of the two leagues and the clubs they represent but it's a challenge.
"My ideal situation would be for everyone to have the Pro Licence and extend it beyond the Premier League but that's going to take time."
606 DEBATE: Do you agree with Brooking?
Southgate expressed the view that the coaching system set-up did not help international players from getting their qualifications.
But Uefa technical director Andy Roxburgh told BBC Sport: "The FA has the ability to administer the Pro Licence.
"There is an expertise there, but they obviously still labour against a general attitude questioning the compulsory nature.
"If you're playing international football this is where the federation comes in - the federation has to make arrangements to help the top people get through such things and we've done that along with the Federations.
"We had a group in Holland - that included Frank Rijkaard and Marco van Basten - and we had a group in Germany. Guys with over 50 caps for their country.
"We worked with those federations to create fast-tracking programmes, because of the vast experience of these guys and their strong personality there was so much potential.
"But it is very expensive and very high intensity both for the participant and the Federation, so you have to be willing to do it.
"There is nothing to stop the FA creating a fast-tracking system for vastly experienced and high level personalities.
"Where there is a will there is a way."

Chipotle has teamed with Blue Rocket to develop the latest 2013 release of the Chipotle iPhone Ordering app, the first major release of the Chipotle app since 2010. Blue Rocket has worked with Chipotle since 2009 when it first launched the Chipotle Ordering App for the iPhone. Many in the fast-casual restaurant industry consider the Chipotle iPhone Ordering app the gold standard for a "line-busting" mobile ordering experience. The public agrees according to Appannie.com that shows Chipotle's iPhone Ordering app ranked as the top fast-casual restaurant app within the entire food and drink app category.
Chipotle iPhone Ordering app allows customers to configure an order, pay for the order directly on their iPhone, select a store and available pick-up time, and then skip-the-line to grab their pre-ordered meal.
The latest release of the Chipotle iPhone Ordering adds features like presenting menu items only available at a specific locations, taking payments with gift cards and looking up gift card balances, nutritional and allergen information, and enabling selection of special menu options like brown rice. Customers also receive improved navigation, Spanish and French language support and mobile ordering for Canada, UK and Paris locations as well.
Blue Rocket also worked with Chipotle's design agency, Rokken, to complete the latest Chipotle Ordering app design changes.

« Obama on Using the Supreme Court to Impose Socialism | Main | Orkin Man Urgently Needed in Denver »

Government Data Accessed in Campaign to Smear Joe the Plumber
Here's another foretaste of life in Obama Nation. Joe the Plumber challenged The One's Marxist economic plans and came to symbolize the normal hard-working Americans who would be crushed so that Obama can "spread the wealth around." As punishment, the Obamedia has crawled over Joe Wurzelbacher's life like a plague of cockroaches, waggling its antennae for any information that might discredit him or besmirch his character. Obama hasn't even been elected, but already help appears to be coming from government sources:
Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.
It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct access to driver's license and vehicle registration information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and government business.
Observes Paul Lindsay of the McCain campaign:
It's outrageous to see how quickly Barack Obama's allies would abuse government power in an attempt to smear a private citizen who dared to ask a legitimate question.
Given that lawyers are a core constituency of the Democrat Party, character assassination tactics aren't terribly surprising. But Obama's "by any means necessary" ideological background makes the potential for government abuse alarming. Already we've seen official truth squads intimidating citizens into keeping their mouths shut if they have nothing adulatory to say about the Moonbat Messiah, and bureauweenies have attempted to drive Wurzelbacher out of business. Shrillary's infamous misuse of FBI files will look like a minor indiscretion compared to what we could expect from an Obama regime.
On a tip from Rob Banks.

Well...when the campaign itself talks about "Truth Squads" and "targeting" civilians who "lie" about Obama, and it's backed up by members of those Squads being officers of the court and sheriffs, then is it a surprise they'll take it further?
The guy isn't even in OFFICE yet. Free speech will only be for "Environmentalists" and "Tree Sitters" and Communists and anarchists and "Community Organizers". Talk radio: dead. Internet: neutral (i.e. dead). All other media? As were Pravda and TASS, an official organ of the government.

Anonymous, accessing DMV records for any reason other than law enforcement or official government business is against the law. So the amount of times Joe's name was invoked by McCain or anyone else is irrelevant.
Joe asked a question and Obama's true thought process slipped out. We can't have that in our new Hope 'n Change Utopia.

Hey anon...seriously...go back to the Daily Kos, OK? Because you communist bastards are starting to piss me off. Smug, self-righteous, condescending...really full of themselves.

Violence is not the answer. Is that what we can expect if McCain doesn't win?
Posted by: Anonymous at October 27, 2008 8:39 PM
I think you should listen to the full conversation. It sounds like some of you are only hearing the sound bites the news station offered. Go to YouTube and listen to the whole thing.
You may still disagree with him. But I think the argument is not about whether or not we get taxed because we will be taxed no matter who is in office. Obama is no more a socialist than any president who levies taxes. The argument is where the money will be spent. You believe him to be a socialist because he wants to give money to social programs.
In reality, socialism is about enterprise - controlling the market. So, the take over of the banks is socialism. Levying taxes and spending them is just the way we have always paid for and run our government.
Posted by: Anonymous at October 27, 2008 9:04 PM
"Violence is not the answer. Is that what we can expect if McCain doesn't win?"
If McCain loses I expect that in some parts of the country complete bedlam will result. Obamunists will attempt to sieze their "just reparations".
Hide and watch.
For us normal folks - for all Americans - this is a "no win - no win" scenario.
Personally; I'm buying more ammo over the weekend. If I'm wrong, deer and doves will suffer and my freezer will be full for the depression.
Posted by: Anti-Obamunist at October 27, 2008 10:02 PM
I see...violence is only tolerated if it's from the left (anyone heard of Bill Ayers? He's RESPECTED and he tried to KILL PEOPLE).
No, you leftist creeps have nothing to fear from the right as long as you don't start anything. But you will. You always do. It begins with wise-ass attitude and escalates to Ayers-like "direct action".
As for "Obama is no more socialist than any President who levies taxes"...first, Obama isn't President yet (I know it's hard for the left to believe we actually are going to bother with a vote), second, Presidents don't levy taxes, third, to say Obama isn't socialist is akin to saying Hitler wasn't an anti-Semite.
Why are you lefties so ashamed of what you believe in? YOU'RE SOCIALISTS. BE PROUD OF IT, COMRAD.

Oh please people your "socialist" or "communist" attacks are sooooo tiresome, hysterical and absurd. Obama is not a communist. The accusation is downright silly and simply highlights the weakness of the Republican platform.
And anyway isn't a Republican sponsered corporate bail-out "redistribution of wealth" of the highest order? I say the current Republican admin is much much closer to using "socialist" tactics to solve problems then Obama.
But then again, you are blind.

by the way Sarah Palin happens to be Governor of the most socialist state in America. Check this out:
"For her part, Sarah Palin, who has lately taken to calling Obama "Barack the Wealth Spreader," seems to be something of a suspect character herself. She is, at the very least, a fellow-traveller of what might be called socialism with an Alaskan face. The state that she governs has no income or sales tax. Instead, it imposes huge levies on the oil companies that lease its oil fields. The proceeds finance the government's activities and enable it to issue a four-figure annual check to every man, woman, and child in the state. One of the reasons Palin has been a popular governor is that she added an extra twelve hundred dollars to this year's check, bringing the per-person total to $3,269. A few weeks before she was nominated for Vice-President, she told a visiting journalist—Philip Gourevitch, of this magazine—that "we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs." Perhaps there is some meaningful distinction between spreading the wealth and sharing it ("collectively," no less), but finding it would require the analytic skills of Karl the Marxist." ♦
Posted by: Anonymous at October 28, 2008 1:46 AM
That's not socialism, that's just the state being a steward of the resources that exist in public property. They could sell the land or mineral rights outright to the oil companies, or, as they're doing, sell the oil. The money the state of Alaska is receiving from this is in excess of its operating costs, enough so that income and sales taxes are not necessary to fund the government. Yet still there is a surplus, so it's distributed to the citizens. It's more like the state is running at a profit and has a negative tax rate as a result. Certainly nothing to do with collectivizing the means of production or redistributing wealth.

Whoever wins, we could very well see violence.
If Obama wins, his supporters will engage in gleeful looting and rioting to celebrate, similar to the riots that sometimes break out in cities when a local football or basketball team wins a major game, though on a much larger scale.
If McCain wins, the Obammunists will be enraged, and go out to destroy as much as possible in riots more on par with what happened in LA after the Rodney King verdict.
Posted by: Adam at October 28, 2008 4:14 AM
There is a considerable difference between people sharing the proceeds from natural resource extraction and the government confiscating the money people earn by working and investing and showering it on those who do neither.
A distinction that is lost on the type of idiot, cowardly, anonymous trolls that pop up on this site.
Posted by: V the K at October 28, 2008 4:48 AM
Is McCain channeling Joe McCarthy? Is Michele Bachman looking forward to heading the House Un-American Activities Committee?
Executive power to wire tap without a court order is the first step. Oh, yeah, Bush did that already.
How about detention without charge is you are accused of being a terror suspect. They don't have to prove it just say it. Oh, yeah, Bush did that already.
Search warrants issued without judicial oversight? Oh, yeah, Bush did that already.
I'd say we are well on the way of the America you are so afraid of.
Posted by: Anonymous at October 28, 2008 6:29 AM
The funny part the Democratically controlled Congress gave Bush the powers decried by the left. Maybe they were planning ahead for the Obama administration. Obama will probably invite Hugo Chavez to the Whitehouse so Chavez can give him pointers on running a socialist utopia.
They should close Gitmo - after they shoot all the prisoners. Keeping these terrorists alive on the taxpayer dime is a waste of money. Interrogate them in the field then dispose of them if they are guilty. Or just plain shoot first and ask questions later.
Posted by: Anonymous at October 28, 2008 7:08 AM
The difference is, Bush used those powers to protect Americans against terrorists. The One will use them to protect himself from those who would ask questions.
It's telling that trolls oppose the former, and approve of the latter.

Not to mention that the Patriot acts are nothing to what was enacted under Woodrow Wilson during WWI, when there wasn't even a credible threat to the homeland. Plus, we haven't seen them used much, if you think about it. Hey, wasn't Wilson one of those pointy-headed ivory tower intellectual types, like, uh... wossname?

Joe the plumber is the latest, and hopefully the last in a long series of Barack Obama's victims. It seems that anyone who stands in his way gets exposed. When he was running for his Senate seat against Jack Ryan, sealed divorce papers detailing lurid events at sordid clubs appeared in the press. It wasn't even Jack who had them sealed, but his wife.

Exhibition horticulturalist Andrew Kuhlman is turning December's Bug of the Month into Plant of the Month. He is one of the Live Exhibits staff that tend the plants in the Forest Gallery and Milarri Garden.
The story of the Shiny Nematolepis, Nematolepis wilsonii, is about a humble plant experiencing a resurrection following the Black Saturday bushfires. The Shiny Nematolepis, a white-flowering shrub also affectionately known as 'Shiny Nem', is considered critically endangered.
There was a single population of 11 mature wild plants before February 2009 according to the Department of Sustainability and Environment. Since the 2009 bushfires over 200,000 seedlings have emerged in the Yarra Ranges. This means practically the entire known population of this plant existing in the wild can be traced back to a single event.

The other side to this story is about the cultivated populations of this species, one of which is growing in the Forest Gallery exhibition at Melbourne Museum. These plants are now some of the oldest of the species known to exist. They were grown in 2000 from cutting material sourced from the original population that was burnt out.

The display of 'Shiny Nem' plants in the Forest Gallery exhibit is a great chance to get close to a very rare plant in a setting representing its natural habitat. It's also an opportunity to reflect on how close this plant was to disappearing forever and the benefits that having a second chance will bring.

The carabao is deeply unimpressed. It approaches us at frightening speed. This is relative speed though. The carabao in relation to the dusty ground is trotting along at its usual pace. But we are zipping on our mountain bikes around the bend and with an elegant swerve pass the indifferent big animal.
The cheering from the crowd on the cart behind the beast tells us: We are the first bicycle tourists here. Again.
We pass our admirers, the ground becomes firmer, goes downhill now, we click into higher gears, fingers on the break levers (ready for the next carabao around the corner) and with perfect speed we ride along the river bend.
Water so clean it invites us to jump in at once, but the ride got us hypnotized. No-one wants to stop or be anywhere else on the planted than right here. In our cycling paradise. And we are not on some remote island. We are just outside Metro Manila in Bulacan.
Manila's compatibility with cycling is under doubt, to put it mildly. Manila itself, that is true, seems to do everything to make life for cyclists hard and sometimes short. But it has left us some niches and escape corridors. If you know them then nothing stands in the way between your bike and some of the greatest cycling trips of your life.
Throughout the past 3 years I have seen more and more expatriates taken up cycling again.

NGC 922: Galaxy Hits a Cosmic Bullseye
Narrator (April Hobart, CXC): The Universe is vast and largely made up of empty space, but cosmic collisions still happen pretty often. Take the galaxy in this picture: it looks like a giant target board, and some 300 million years ago, a smaller galaxy scored a cosmic bullseye when it crashed right into the center of it.
This galaxy began its life as a spiral galaxy. It had several long winding 'arms' of stars and dust wrapped around its center, like the galaxy in this picture . But the impact of the smaller galaxy disturbed the tidy lanes of stars and the neat galactic center and warped the galaxy into this sloppy ring. You can see that the bright, gassy center of the galaxy has been pushed to one side and the spiral arms have been twisted into a chaotic mess. What is left of one of the spiral arms can be seen extending upwards, out of the top of the galaxy.
The collision also set off a ripple effect, like when you throw a pebble into a still lake. The disturbed gases throughout the galaxy triggered a chain reaction of star formation. Hundreds of enormous new stars were born. You can see these as bright red regions in the image.

Children today will come to regard the word "infraction" in the same way that my generation thinks of "Funk & Wagnel", as a phrase with little meaning but heavily associated with a particular time in history.
In recent times the resemblance between Paul Little and St Christopher, as depicted in Konrad Witz's 15th Century painting, is uncanny.
For many months, the Essendon chairman has been metaphorically wading across a dangerous river carrying the younger but infinitely more powerful coach-in-exile James Hird on his shoulder.
For his beliefs St Christopher was eventually killed.
While it remains unclear whether Little's football career will go the same way, what is certain is that the entire unseemly episode will go the same way as other past footy phenomena - think "VFL Park" or "osteitis pubis" - living news one minute but sporting trivia the next.

A Great Way to Frustrate Your Customers
Posted on 05. Jan, 2012 by Roger Carr in Marketing tips
You know that educating your potential customers is an important part of marketing your products and services. What would happen if you create your marketing materials in French and present them to English-speaking people?
Those potential customers would quickly get frustrated and turn to other companies that communicate in a way they can understand.
Each of us has a learning style we learn best from. If we are taught in a style that is different than our preferred learning style, it can be more difficult to learn. It may seem like the information is in another language.
The 3 learning styles are:
- Auditory Learners
- Visual Learners
- Kinesthetic Learners
Auditory people learn best from what they hear, visual people learn best from what they see, and kinesthetic people learn best from movement and touching. Although each of us learns in all three styles, most people prefer one style over the others.
Adding photos to marketing products can appeal to the visual learner. Find a way to add photos to enhance your audio products and you will capture the visual learners as well as the auditory. Adding photos into your workshops will help your visual learners become better educated along with the kinesthetic Learners.
Effective communication is critical to creating new customers and keeping the ones you already have. Find ways to include elements into your marketing that addresses all three learning styles.
Would you like a hint at what your preferred learning style might be? Fill out this questionnaire and find out!

A Wizard is a powerful, skilled and wise person who uses magic to effect change in his or her environment. Wizards tend to be respectful, compassionate, patient, intuitive and sensorial with a great deal of understanding of how things in this world operate, how people think and act and how to communicate on all levels with people and animals. Wizards have high levels of education (in pursuit of their craft), wisdom, and are spiritual in their own way, though not necessarily religious.
Because Wizardry (the "craft" of a Wizard) in and of itself is not based on religion or founded on religious beliefs--many Wizards may practice their craft while still maintaining ties with their religion--ie: Christian Wizard. Unfortunately, due to the lack of tolerance and sometimes aggressive/violent behavior on the part of many modern day Christians, Christian Wizards (like Christian Witches) are often in hiding within their own Christian church and thus never reveal that they practice "Wizardry". A congregation may not even realize that their own pastor/minister is a Wizard, Witch, or Druid etc. in addition to being a Christian Pastor.
There are different schools of Wizardry that offer a comprehensive curriculum on the path to becoming a well rounded Wizard. Within the curriculum may be included courses such as Druidry, Mythology, Literature, Philosophy, Psychical arts, Magickal Studies, History of Magick, Spiritual Alchemy, Practical Alchemy, Divination, Meditation, Mysticism... and much more. The average course of study can range 2-7 years. Classes are often taught by experienced & practizing Wizards some of which may be current or former college professors.
Schools of WizardryEdit
|The Grey School of Wizardry
Various schools of Wizardry can be found through an online search.
Popular schools:
The Grey School of Wizardry (www.greyschool.com)
Flamel College (www.flamelcollege.org/magical_arts.htm)
The History of WizardryEdit
The word 'wizard' derives from the Middle English word (dating from 1100-1500) wys, meaning 'wise', combined with -ard, a suffix meaning 'one who does'. The word wys derives in turn from the Proto-Indo-European base (around 5,500 years old), woid-/weid-/wid-, which means "to see," hence "to know". This is the original meaning of the word 'wizard'. A more recent meaning is associated with magic.
Wizardry goes back to Lemurian times. In modern wizardry all wizards may share knowledge of core practices, and don't necessarily sub-divide into greater and greater specialisations.
How to be a WizardEdit
Self study, becoming an apprentice and/or attending one or more schools of Wizardry.

The one man to see for one-man shows is Alan Zweibel.
The go-to guy of "Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me" and "Billy Crystal's 700 Sundays" doesn't have his name in the shows' titles, but those shows wouldn't have earned their titles as high-tone hits without his epigrammatic if not eponymous contributions.
The back story of this guy who prefers to remain in the background backstage is one of a self-described "huge Long Island Jew" long on talent and Martin Short on humor. Indeed, his "Martin Short" Playbill credit of "additional material by Alan Zweibel" is a play on words, since his wit and witticisms add much to the merry mishugas staged nightly at Broadway's Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.
Call him a play doctor with an M.D. full of Mischievous Deviltry, a give 'em hell healer whose medical scrip morphs manuscripts into healthy hits.
But it wasn't always such. At one time, bread and butter was Zweibel's … bread and butter. Not that he intended to be a deli worker all his life — although he may be the only legendary laughman to include it in his professional background.
Hold the wry? Not Zweibel, who took his University of Buffalo 1972 degree in psychology and proceeded to turn it into chopped liver, getting a job as a deli-slicer in Queens as he minced mirth and words selling jokes for $7 a slice to comedians in the Catskills.
Pickles and punchlines? Perfect together!
"I am most proud of that one," muses Zweibel of his slice-of-life bio credit as a cut-up man.
"You name it, I sliced it."
It was while he was sandwiching in jobs as Jewish deli cut-up and joke writer that Zweibel zigged, then zagged, becoming a stand-up whose work didn't stand out. But one customer who heard him offered some sound advice to schtick it out: "You're the worst comedian I've ever seen, but your material is pretty good," opined Lorne Michaels.
Just like that, Alan Zweibel was hired by producer Michaels and became part of TV history: Live, from New York — it was Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and a key writer, Alan Zweibel — as "Saturday Night Live" helped transform the cool medium of TV into the hip, ultra-cool medium.
The weekend warrior behind the humor of "Weekend Update" and the Sumari sage who helped Belushi cut it with sword-sharp swipes of humor was suddenly a smash success: Zweibel as Zorro of the zeitgeist.
But if his humor enlivened "Saturday Night Live" so much, it was his special relationship with comedian Gilda Radner that made it radiant. He rose to the occasion writing her Rosanne Rosannadana character and Emily Litella before he lit out for other ventures, including "It's Garry Shandling's Show," which Zweibel helped create, produce and script.
From deli to deconstrucion worker: It was "Shandling's Show" and its breaking of the fourth wall that helped make this Burns & Allen avatar such breakthrough TV.
Ever since, Zweibel's built a bio with mirth as mortar, including movies ("North," adapted from his own novel; "Dragnet") and other TV work ("Good Sports").
But it is Broadway today that sports some of Zweibel's best stuff. "It touched a nerve in me," says Zweibel of the special thrill he got from working with "SNL" alum Short.
But don't short-change what was on stage before Zweibel's additional material was added. "I love how often people get it wrong," says the writer of friends and fans who think certain "Short" contributions are his when they're not.
Take the Jewish lines — please! One of the most comical aspects of Short's show is the scene in which his "brother" appears in the audience, decrying and kvetching how Short has given his Jewish heritage short-shrift in the show.
"Not mine," chuckles Zweibel of the material, especially funny since Short is, in real life, Catholic, not Jewish, for which he's often mistaken.
Make no mistake, says Zweibel; it's easy to see why. "It's interesting to me that even though Martie's not Jewish, he does have an appreciation for Jewish humor. We're the same age, and we grew up liking the same kind of comedy."
Funny thing about that; if things had been somewhat different, Zweibel would have been writing torts rather than tart humor.
Zweibel for the defense? Indefensible! "I was rejected by every English-speaking law school in America," he says of a different stage of his life post-U. of Buffalo.
Belly laughs instead of bellying up to the bar? A comic counselor? "I think they all got together," he says of Law Schools 'R Us, "and said, 'Let him become a comedy writer.' "
These days, he rests his case before audiences at the Jacobs Theatre. But Broadway isn't his only beat; Zweibel's newest novel, The Other Shulman, reflects another side of his literary leanings, as do his many magazine contributions. There is also the charitable side — his speaking engagements on behalf of Gilda's Club, the ovarian-cancer support network formed after his best friend died of the disease some years back.
Zweibel does more than pay lip service to Radner's rich heritage of humor; he's written about it, too, including the touching Bunny Bunny, which Zweibel ably adapted for the stage — and which premiered in Philadelphia before an off-Broadway run.
That long loving relationship he shared with Radner — whose Broadway one-woman show he also wrote — was at once haimisch and human. "She was my muse," says Zweibel, whose wife of many years long understood their specials, decidedly platonic pal-ship.
And even as his timeless humor is legacy for "must-see TV" these days — "SNL" is the focus of two different NBC series this season — Zweibel can still get a good laugh out of his past.
"I [discovered] myself in writing" for Radner, he says. "I found all I wanted to do was make her laugh."
He's got others to joke with and for these days. It's his world — and welcome to it! And nowhere was that greeting more welcomed — and appreciated — than the call Zweibel recently received, informing him that he was a finalist for this year's coveted Thurber Prize for American Humor.
"I was surprised because it's such a literary honor, and that's not a genre I've really gone into."
Others would disagree, calling him a literary light, not literary-lite. If his humor instructs even as it cuts to the quick, maybe it's because, in his own way, Zweibel is a rebbe with a cause.
In fact, he admits, he had some heightened interest in just that path over the recent High Holidays. "I was listening to the rabbi, and thought, 'I could do that,' " says the Jewish joker of beaming sermons from the bimah.
"Of course, the Hebrew part could befuddle me, but I could come up with a 15-minute sermon."
Uh, Alan … being a rabbi comes with other responsibilities beside those 15-minutes-of-fame advisories to congregants. "Okay, so I wouldn't look forward to doing the brises — that you can keep. But I'm good for a 15-minute talk."
Live, from the shul — it's Friday night! Maybe, quips Zweibel, he can handle the rah-rah part of the Torah, inspiring without all the scholarly sidebars.
"That's what I could do," says the writer of his new ambition for which he's Short-listed.
Fun becomes him: "I could be the D.R. — the Designated Rabbi!"

On Monday I got a call from a reporter asking for an interview to discuss the oil market. At the time of the call, oil futures were trading $3 lower on the day, the "explanation" for this being this was the first morning after the terrific news our Navy Seals took out Osama. The reporter asked me if the top was now in for oil prices for this year? "Why would that be?," I asked. "Well, Osama Bin Ladin is gone."
"So what?," was my response to that. He just couldn't believe this wasn't the most bearish news the oil market has just about ever had.
As we discussed the issue, oil futures started to find a bid, trading back up to just $2 lower on the day. I tried to explain to him the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has nothing to do with the price of oil. After all, when analyzing and trading oil during Osama's life I don't remember him ever entering the equation.
Now if al Qaeda was ever successful in taking out a production facility that would have been a different matter, but we never even heard of an attack like this in recent years. Oil prices continued rising, now only $1 lower on the day. And then once prices started trading higher that day, I think we were able to throw out the premise that Osama bin Laden had any legacy at all when it comes to oil. His nefarious legacy will only relate to 911 and his other heinous acts. Continued oil price appreciation will take place with or without bin Laden.
Now this is not to say oil prices have only one way to move; north. After all, prices are currently at the highest levels since July 2008, and for the first time have risen an unprecedented 8 months in a row. Is it a coincidence the dollar has fallen for the past eight months? I will let you be the judge of that statement. Now the dollar is due for a dead cat bounce and this could weaken oil prices in the short term.
However, we are entering the high demand summer driving season which traditionally has increased demand by about 3 million barrels per day. Additionally, China's consumption shows no signs of abating as their economy is set to grow "only" by 9.5% this year. Europe is recovering economically as well, with wholesale gasoline prices in Germany recently reaching record highs.
As John D. Rockefeller once said, "the markets will fluctuate," and the fluctuations today appear greater than ever. Oil prices will fall (and if Libya comes back on line could have a healthy correction), and they will rise, and my bet is after the next fall, the subsequent rise will take prices to new highs for the year.

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome back to JustAnswer!
Not fun is it? Those back four are not fun. You don't have to remove the booster though, you just need the right combination of extensions. Here's how I do it.
I use a regular depth spark plug socket. After the coils are removed, drop the socket down the hole. Then drop in a 3" extension. Then drop in a 1" extension, push the extensions into the socket. Loosen the spark plug all they way with a ratchet. Once it's loose, pull the racthet up until you can grab the extension with one hand. Hold them with one hand, pull the ratchet off the extensions with the other. Then pull the extensions up, hold the 3" with one hand and remove the 1", pull it up again, hold the plug socket with one hand and remove the 3" from it with the other hand. Then you can bring the socket with the plug out of the hole. When you go back together put the plug in the socket, very gently let it go down into the hole. You don't want to bend the electrode. Once it's down, drop your 3" extension, then the 1", then you are ready for the ratchet.

Q. I am editor for a group of academic writers, who recently squawked when I mentioned the following guideline in the CMOS, 16th edition (8.168): use lowercase and no italics for "the" in a newspaper title, even if it is part of the official title. Their concerns: (1) it seems unscholarly to treat "the" as a generic term when it is part of the official title; (2) doesn't this flout copyright protocol? (3) why does the rule apply only to American newspapers? I found myself unable to offer concrete reasons for the rule, so I said I would ask the CMOS editors directly.
Q. How would you treat the title of a blog—roman with quotation marks, roman without quotation marks, or italic?
Q. Our company, an art auction house, has decided to adopt sentence-style capitalization because we feel the visual flow is easier to read. The names of sales are based on the names of our departments, e.g., "The Old Master Paintings department will have its Old master paintings sale in June." Is that style appropriate?
Q. I am quoting from a document that has a lot of words in all caps, for emphasis. In my report the quote appears as a block quote, and I feel that I should affirm that the capitalization is in the original, not added by me. Should I make this affirmation with a parenthetical comment, or should I just leave it alone?
Q. I am writing a government report, and the first letters of words in the title are supposed to be capitalized. In such a case, should prepositions be capitalized? The government employee who edited my work said that along should be capitalized, but not of, and this doesn't make any sense to me.
Q. What is the proper way of capitalizing foreign titles appearing at the end of English titles and subtitles? For example, hypothetically, should it be "Aeneas Traveling Noctis per umbram" or "Aeneas Traveling Noctis per Umbram"? Headline style seems to conflict with Chicago recommendations for foreign titles. There doesn't seem to be any advice for melding the two, as far as I can tell.
Q. I am writing a novel. How do I write a title of a song in the body of the work (caps, bold, underline, italics, etc.)? Example: The Zombies' "She's Not There" looped in his head.
Q. Quotation marks in titles and subheads seem inappropriate, except those required when referring to particular works. However, I can find no reference to support my position in Chicago or elsewhere. I'm supposing that is because scare quotes in heads are a rare occurrence.
Q. I work at an ad agency, and I'm the only writer/editor/proofreader on staff. A recent title bothered our creative director because only one word in it was not capitalized (unbalanced from a design perspective, I guess): Why Full-Service Advertising Is More Important than Ever. My question is, first of all, am I correct that the word "than" should be lowercased in the above title? And second, what's your opinion on making capitalization decisions on ad copy based on how things look? I'm willing to fudge the rules a bit for great design, but I'm not willing to throw the rules out the window altogether.
Q. A coworker with a PhD in English lit comments that your example of title casing "Four Theories concerning the Gospel according to Matthew" isn't correct at all. "Concerning" and "according" are participles, not prepositions (thus these are participial, not prepositional, phrases). I've absolutely never seen "Gospel according to Anyone"—it's always "According to." Thoughts? I'm not just nitpicking; trying to get a group of proofreaders and editors to pull together consistently on little stuff like this.
