Jewish ShUM on the Rhine: Speyer, Worms, Mainz
When threats of destruction to property and life follow and linger over a group of people through no fault of their own over centuries, there's something to be said about an eternal need to keep a watchful eye. Words like Verfolgung, Vernichtung, and Vertreibung1 have been etched into memory. I have all this in mind as I explore Jewish history in Germany as part of my need to answer the following question:
How did a nation of people which fostered composers Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Strauss; and writers Goethe, the Brothers Grimm, Heine, Hesse, Heinrich and Thomas Mann, and Schiller sink to the worst depths of human atrocity and depravity in the first half of the 20th-century?
It's easy to forget Jewish people have lived in what is now Italy and southern Europe since the middle of the 2nd-century BCE and inhabited southern Germany from the late 10th-century AD/CE2. During the High Middle Ages, three important bishopric (and cathedral) cities of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz along the Rhine river formed an important league or federation of Jewish communities (Kehillot) from the end of the 10-century to about the mid-to-late 14th-century. The word שו"ם or ShUM (SchUM in German)4 is an acronym consisting of the first letters of the Hebrew names for the three cities:
• Shin (ש), Sh for Shpira (שפירא) → present-day Speyer;
• Waw or Vav (ו), U for Warmaisa (וורמש) → present-day Worms;
• and Mem (ם), M for Magenza (מגנצא) → present-day Mainz.
The ShUM cities became centres for learning, training, religion, culture, and trade within medieval Germany (Ashkenaz3) and throughout Europe. Today, the three ShUM cities establish key destinations for historical travel, provide rich examples for continuing research on medieval Jewish life, and add up to a comprehensive project in recognizing an important chapter of the history of Jews in Germany.
Germany has presently over 40 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but none of them relate to the long-standing Jewish history in the country. The German federal state of Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate) submitted the ShUM cities for national consideration in the summer of 2012. Having passed the rigours of internal ranking among other worthy candidates within the national committee, the application entered the UNESCO's tentative lists for World Heritage Sites in 2015. In 2020, the German Foreign Ministry will submit to UNESCO all documentation relating to the nomination, says Susanne Urban, Managing Director of the ShUM-Cities Association. Urban adds that a final decision by UNESCO regarding the ShUM cities as a new World Heritage Site is not expected until 2021.

Whether you are a first time parent or you are already a pro, you have likely figured out that understanding what your baby is trying to tell you (hungry, needing a diaper change, tired, teething etc.) is of the utmost importance and is no easy task to try to understand when they don't have words to tell you.
You may have heard people talk about teaching sign language to babies as a means to bridge the gap before verbal language begins. Signing with your baby will help strengthen the bond between your family and its newest member by allowing your child to communicate with you during their pre-verbal stage. Teaching your babies to sign enables THEM to ask YOU a question, tell you their needs and desires or initiate a conversation about something that interests them.
Using sign language with your baby lessens frustration, crying, and tantrums, is scientifically proven to build more brain function and raise your child's IQ and increases your baby's ability to pay attention and listen by teaching them in infancy to stop, look, and listen to what is being said or shown.
Many people are amazed that babies as young as 6 months old can learn sign language when they aren't even capable of talking yet. Research has proven that using sign language can bridge the gap between comprehension and speech production. This is possible because babies can acquire the ability to understand language well before their muscles in their mouths enable them to actually form words and speak to you. Many people inaccurately assume that babies don't speak because they don't understand. Once you empower your child with the ability to communicate with their hands, they will amaze you with what they have to say!
When your baby starts signing, everything becomes easier. Your baby has learned that using their hands to communicate is much more effective than crying or whining. If your baby is fussy, you no longer have to play the guessing game of what is wrong (hungry, needing a diaper change, teeth hurting, bored) because your baby will simply tell you what they need. The other exciting thing about signing is that it opens up a window into their world and allows them to tell you about the things that interest them. Perhaps your baby wants to let you know that he is thinking about cats or birds or even that he is excited that he sees another baby in the park. Signing enables you to have a conversation with a baby who can't even speak yet. Your child suddenly becomes an active member of the family at such a young age. What a truly amazing gift for both of you!
If you still need a reason to sign with your baby, think about this. Your baby will be able to influence their world from a very young age by initiating and participating in conversations while their non-signing peers are limited to grunting, pointing, and crying. Your baby is also likely to be more stable emotionally since they feel understood and validated long before they are able to speak. The more you and your baby communicate, the greater the opportunity for positive interactions and this leads to higher self esteem and self confidence for your baby.

A $23 million expenditure for a new pool and auditorium at Central High School was unamiously approved Monday night by the Davenport Community School Board.
The board was split, however, on extras that would tack on more than $3.8 million to the original budget.
After a discussion that lasted about two hours, board members ultimately approved the extra items recommended by a committee made up of architects, district and school staff and teachers.
The district plans to seek bids on the project between March and May and is slated to break ground by May 5.
The project will be funded by local sales tax money.
Central's auditorium and pool are decades old and no longer fit the needs of staff and students.
Much of Monday's board discussion centered around a recommendation to build a 25-yard, eight-lane stretch pool that will include a warm-up/cool-down area for competitive swimmers.
The addition of the warm-up/cool-down area, estimated to cost nearly $1.181 million, was first introduced at a committee-of-the-whole meeting earlier this month.
Board member Nikki DeFauw and board president Ralph Johanson voted no on the recommendation.
Johanson said he could not justify spending such a large sum of money on the additional area that will be used by only a small, select population within the district.
He also said he could not find any research or any rules from the Iowa High School Athletic Association that says that a warm-up/cool-down area is neccessary for competitive swimmers.
"I think that if this project had been represented as something that's usable for all students, not really just for competitive swimmers ... I'd be more likely to support that," he said.
Board members Bill Sherwood, Rich Clewell, Patt Zamora and Ken Krumwiede threw their support behind the entire package.
Clewell noted that this is the biggest investment made at any school in the Davenport district since lawmakers passed legislation that would provide local sales tax money for facilities.
Central, he said, is the "poster child for local sales tax."
"(Central) is a school that needs it and I think this is an investment in our future," he said.
Board member Larry Roberson, who ultimately voted in favor of the addition, said he was disappointed that the initial package of the pool didn't include a warm-up/cool-down area and that the project exceeded the $23 million budget.
Central principal Scott McKissick said the pool and auditorium are a "long-time coming" and will give the high school a competitive edge.
"I think it's a great opportunity for the kids," he said. "I can't imagine them not being excited."
The board also approved bumping up auditorium seating from 800 to 900 for $283,313 and replacing the tennis courts and adding more parking at the Brady Street Complex for $900,000.
Also Monday, the board approved the compensation packages for non-bargaining administrative and non-administrative employees.
The board also approved plans for a sprinkler system project at Lincoln Elementary School at an estimated cost of $240,000. The district rents out space in the now-closed school to Head Start and other organizations.

by Mark Hoda, Jeevika Trustee
In the culmination of a three year process, at the end of September this year, the UN's 193 member states met at a summit to agree 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 169 associated targets
Sustainable development can be defined as 'development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'.
The goals are to be achieved by 2030 and include 'ending poverty in all its forms everywhere'.
The agreement also commits signatory countries to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, and inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
India's mixed record
The SDGs build on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that were adopted in 2000 and were supposed to be delivered this year.
As a UN report looking back on MDG delivery notes, 'India has made notable progress in achieving poverty reduction and other MDGs since their adoption at the turn of the century but this progress has been uneven and millions continue to remain trapped in extreme poverty'.
The report highlights the scale of this challenge in the world's biggest poverty trap – 'India remains home to one quarter of the world's undernourished population, over a third of the world's underweight children, and nearly a third of the world's food-insecure people'.
Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas
The new Indian government elected last year is committed to a policy of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas ('Together with all, Development for all') to achieve inclusive development.
As the UN report on India's MDG record notes, looking forward to its SDG delivery prospects under a new government, 'There seems to be a remarkable convergence of vision underlying the sustainable development goals and those of the Government, although it remains to be seen how effectively it implements its new strategic direction to provide a life of dignity to all'.
A framework of indicators against which to monitor progress in delivering the SDGs is being developed at UN level and according to press reports, there is scepticism amongst Indian NGOs that the goals will be achieved, especially in the absence of clearly defined monitoring processes and resource mobilisation.
Trade versus aid?
This week, India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who coined the phrase 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas', visits the UK.
While aid may not feature on the agenda during Mr Modi's visit (especially given that the UK Government has now stopped supporting development projects in India) trade very much will be. British multinationals are hoping to unveil $15 billion worth of trade and investment deals during the trip.
However, as discussed at Jeevika's previous policy and corporate events, trade and aid must go hand in hand. India will not be able to transform itself into the economic powerhouse that its Government, people and key trading partners, such as the UK, so badly need unless it can lift hundreds of millions of its people out of abject poverty.
It is therefore vital that aid as well as trade is on the table in Modi's discussions with political and corporate leaders in the UK this week.
Jeevika Trust is developing it's 'tri sector' approach on how governments, businesses and NGOs can work together to eradicate poverty in India.
Notwithstanding the UK's decision to stop aid to India, the British Government still provides important technical assistance to India which should be used to support the delivery of the SDGs in India. Likewise, Jeevika very much wants to see UK businesses with a relationship with India devote some of their considerable resources and expertise to rural development projects, as a key part of their trade agreements. Doing so will not only fulfill an important moral duty, but will also help create massive new markets for their goods and services.
We will therefore be watching Mr Modi's UK visit closely in the hope that such tri sector poverty eradication agreements will be very high on the agenda. Without such partnership working, India will surely struggle to meet the SDGs by 2030 and Mr Modi's 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' commitment.

Talkshow: Start a conversation
Talkshow is a new messaging app that allows users to have public texting conversations that can be shown either in real time or after the conversation has taken place. Similar to a podcast, Talkshow users can start conversations on a variety of topics like sports, politics, entertainment or business that can be continued as a weekly series featuring different guests and experts. Talkshow "hosts" can also lead Q&A sessions, choosing to answer questions asked by other users viewing the conversation. Companies and individuals have already seen success with the app, including The Washington Post, which hosted a 90-minute talk on generational identity, a tech blogger and podcaster who used the app to live-text during the global development conference, and the CEO of MarketBase, who started a weekly interview series called "Pop Life."

Sorry, non-gen.
Sorry, this is not strictly gen.
I am trying to trace an existing Pincott family.
Anthony, Marilyn, Marilyns daughter Louisa and their children, Edward and Henry.
I used to au-pair for the Pincotts 10+ years ago and would dearly love to find them.
I worked for them while they lived in Brussels, but the latest area I have for them is Nottingham in 1988.
Any help? I would be forever grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Janet Johnston.

BAIDOA, SOMALIA – Gunmen shot dead a Somali minister outside a mosque on Friday, triggering riots by pro-government protesters who threw rocks and burned tires at the interim administration's provincial base of Baidoa.
Witnesses said assailants opened fire on Constitution and Federalism Minister Abdallah Deerow Isaq as he left prayers – an attack sure to heighten tensions in the violence-plagued Horn of Africa nation, which many fear is sliding toward war.
"It looks like an organized assassination. … We are very sorry and are condemning this terrorist action," Information Minister Mohamed Abdi Hayr told Reuters from Baidoa.
A Baidoa hospital nurse said Isaq, a former schoolteacher, came in with four bullet wounds in the heart and chest.
After the attack, the government blocked roads out of the town, and about 1,000 protesters furious at the killing took to the streets with sticks, knives and stones, witnesses said. Scores of shops were looted in several hours of chaos.
"Bring out the killers!" protesters chanted outside a police station, where officials said two captured suspects were held.
Formed in 2004 in the 14th attempt to restore central rule to Somalia since the 1991 ousting of a military dictator, the government's authority has been challenged by the rise of an Islamist movement that took Mogadishu and other towns in June.
Born out of sharia courts created from the mid-1990s to restore some order to Mogadishu during a period of anarchy and violence, the Islamists defeated U.S.-backed warlords in Mogadishu and have since expanded to take other towns.
With Ethiopian troops now said to be in Somalia to support the government, and Eritrea believed by many to be arming the Islamists, many Somalis are bracing for full-scale conflict.
Officials would not give details of the two men arrested on suspicion of involvement in the shooting.
Other sources in Baidoa, however, said one was a young Muslim fundamentalist based at the same mosque.
Islamist rulers in Mogadishu denied involvement, saying Ethiopia was behind the killing to destabilize its neighbor.
"Its trained militia killed the minister," Islamist leader Sheikh Sharif Ahmed said.
Ethiopia did not immediately respond to the accusation but charged that Eritrea actively supported radical Islamists in Somalia.
"If there is anyone who is reluctant to support peace and stability in Somalia, it is only the Eritrean government that is trying to disturb the region by allying itself with extremist elements," a government statement said.
Shocked diplomats and analysts said the shooting could have been by an Islamist militant or linked to internal divisions within the government. A no confidence motion on Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi is due to be debated in parliament today.
Amid the tensions, a curfew was imposed in Baidoa overnight.
In what government sources said was an effort to draw the Islamists into peace talks, 18 ministers and other top officials quit the government on Thursday.
In Mogadishu, meanwhile, another mysterious plane landed on Friday, fuelling suspicions the Islamists were receiving weapon deliveries. Their militia blocked roads near the airport as unidentified cargo was unloaded on to waiting trucks.
On Wednesday, a cargo plane delivered goods an Islamist aide said were sewing machines. But the government pointed the finger at Eritrea, which it said was secretly arming the Islamists.

Bass and Guitar Tabs
and More...
You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal-what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild.
There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide.
There ain't no more, you've taken everthing
From my belief in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
When I know what faith is and what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try.

If you are referring to this calendar icon...
It is not supposed to disappear even after selecting a date/time -- this is by designed.
But if you wanted it hidden at all times and yet still make the calendar field working as intended, you can inject CSS code like this
this will hide the calendar icon, but you can click on the field and it will still work.
Use this guide on How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes

November 22, 2010 by staff
Attachmate, (AP) – Business software maker Novell Inc. said Monday it has found a new suitor to take over the company after rejecting a lower offer from a private equity firm earlier this year.
Novell, based in Waltham, Mass., said Attachmate Corp. has agreed to pay about $2.2 billion in cash, or $6.10 per share.
That tops an offer of $5.75 per share that Elliott Associates L.P. made back in March, a bid that valued the company at about $2 billion. Messages left with Elliott Associates were not immediately returned Monday.
The new offer represents a premium of 27 percent over Novell's closing share price of $4.80 on March 1, the day before Elliott Associates made its offer.
Novell shares climbed 37 cents, or 6.6 percent, to $5.96 in morning trading.
Attachmate, based in Seattle, is owned by private equity firms Francisco Partners, Golden Gate Capital and Thoma Bravo.

China: a Country of Contrasts
Summary In a market dominated by global brands, success in the Chinese cosmetics space requires an acute awareness of the nuanced spending patterns and consumer behaviors that characterize this multi-tier market. This presentation explores some important considerations for global brands to successfully deliver a localized value proposition and "fit in" by adopting a GLOCAL strategy. Synopsis - Insight from Canadean's Consumer Survey and interesting examples of brands/products in China are used to illustrate consumer and market trends. - In a market dominated by global brands, a deep understanding of local consumers' needs to drive a tailored, local strategy is vital to success. Reasons To Buy - Why are global beauty brands focusing their attention and efforts on China? - What are the key elements of a GLOCAL strategy? Key Highlights In China, skincare and make-up alone accounted for $13.8bn in consumer spending in 2012, and this figure is estimated to grow even further in the next few years in China across all of the major personal care sectors as a result of significant changes in social structures and quality-of-life improvements in China. According to Canadean's 2013 Consumer Survey, 71% of Chinese consumers say that anti-aging benefits are high priority or essential benefits of skincare products, compared to only 41% of American consumers.

By Susan Page, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Not since the Vietnam War has a president faced such a daunting policy challenge: Rallying Americans behind a costly military venture that already has lost much of its support among the public and in Congress.
President Bush chose the unusual setting of the White House library — where Jimmy Carter donned a cardigan for his 1977 energy speech — to deliver a long-awaited address outlining his "new way forward" in Iraq.
ON DEADLINE: Roundup of analyses and reactions on Bush's strategy
He chose not so much a change of direction as an acceleration, committing 21,500 more U.S. troops and demanding political progress from Baghdad. Even Arizona Sen. John McCain, a supporter, calls the plan a "last chance" to avoid a decisive setback in Iraq.
And, some say, to his presidency.
"This is a make-it-or-break-it moment," says Ken Duberstein, a chief of staff in the Reagan White House. "This is as much about Bush and his leadership for the last two years as it is about Iraq."
After the congressional elections in November, Bush seemed ready to change course in Iraq. He said voters had delivered "a thumpin' " by handing control of Congress to Democrats in an election driven in large part by anxiety about the war. He replaced Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Then, in December, the Iraq Study Group, headed by Bush family consigliere James Baker, issued a report it titled "the way forward — a new approach." It called for increased regional diplomacy, threats of cuts in U.S. support if the Iraqi government didn't meet political goals and the withdrawal of most U.S. combat troops by March 2008.
While he called the commission's recommendations "thoughtful," Bush mapped a course largely at odds with its key provisions.
He's committing more troops and calling on Iraq to meet political goals, but without the threat of U.S. penalties if they don't. While the commission endorsed negotiations with Iran and Syria, Bush calls for increased efforts — and the deployment of a new carrier strike group — to disrupt supply lines from the two countries to Iraqi fighters.
Except for the troop increase, none of the ideas is new. All are familiar parts of the administration's strategy in Iraq and Bush's prior speeches defending it.
Leon Panetta, a White House chief of staff for President Clinton and one of the 10 members of the Iraq Study Group, says the members were concerned from the start whether the White House would listen to what they had to say.
"The president is pretty obstinate about what he thought were the right answers, and obviously we weren't delivering good news, so I can't say it was unanticipated," he says. Panetta called it "disappointing."
"The most important thing we did was to identify the realities of what's happening there," Panetta adds. "If you accept those realities, it leads you to many of the recommendations that we made. If you refuse to accept those realities, then you're going to repeat the same old mistakes. I think unfortunately that's where the president seems to be."
The stakes for Bush, already high, have been raised because he has become so isolated politically when it comes to the war. Six in 10 Americans oppose increasing troop levels, according to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday. Seven in 10 disapprove of his handling of Iraq.
Congressional Republicans, who since the 2003 invasion generally have stood behind the administration, are now divided. And congressional Democrats are considering proposals that would either express disapproval of the troop escalation or try to block funding for it.
"Generally, presidents have a very difficult time changing public opinion," especially once opposition has gelled, says Brandice Canes-Wrone, a professor at Princeton who has studied the power of White House addresses. But Bush's speech may well "buy him some time" to proceed because he is "taking ownership" of a controversial policy.
"If this doesn't work out," she says, "then Bush is to blame solely."
Early in his address, the president acknowledged for the first time that the administration had erred in sending too few troops. "Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me," he said. He called the current situation "unacceptable."
Still, he portrayed retreat as unthinkable, describing the war as a critical part of the larger struggle against global terrorism.
That is an argument Bush often has made — indeed, in a speech on Iraq he delivered precisely one year earlier, to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Washington.
"When victory comes and democracy takes hold in Iraq, it will serve as a model for freedom in the broader Middle East," he declared on Jan. 10, 2006. He predicted U.S. combat forces would be reduced within a few months and derided some Democratic critics of the war as "irresponsible."
On Wednesday, a subdued Bush made no such predictions of democracy's spread, and his tone toward congressional Democrats was conciliatory rather than confrontational. "Honorable people have different views," he said.
His basic message, though, was unchanged. To "step back now would force a collapse of the Iraqi government, tear that country apart and result in mass killings on an unimaginable scale," he said, creating new dangers for Americans. The year ahead, he said, "will demand more patience, sacrifice and resolve."

The Fortune of War (1979)
by Patrick O'Brian
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In which Maturin and Aubrey become prisoners of war of the newly formed United States, both are suspected of being spies, and Diana Villers is back. Daring escapes! Love affairs! Cold blooded murders! And of course, exciting ship battles!
It's a bit odd to see the early US from a British POV, especially since so many of the American characters seem to think they're British. Aubrey and Maturin are in fine form once more--their banter is top notch, and I love the little moments where the reader can see how one sees the other. We also get reintroduced to Haropath (the ancient Chinese scholar) and his unrequited love, Mrs. Wogan (espionage badass, neglectful mother, and delightful conversationalist). And while we get deep in Maturin's head while he ruminates on his need for his diary andd an enduring love to combat his crippling depression, the reader also gets more insight into Aubrey. Aubrey isn't in command for this book, being mostly a guest or a prisoner of war throughout, and he's physically weaker than ever before as well.
We're also reminded of how awesome Diana Villers can be. Possibly she gets badass scenes because O'Brian wanted her to seem worthy of Maturin, possibly O'Brian just likes her as much as I do. She's the kind of character who walks past the bloody corpses of former friends to get her jewels; who refuses to translate documents for her protector because she has too much loyalty toward the country of her former citizenship; who shoots rats in the dark hold of a ship while waiting to see if she'll be hanged. For all that this series is purportedly about Napoleonic naval battles, the characterization in it is top-notch.
And the battles! O'Brian whips the tension up until I was so stressed whilst listening to the last battle that I actually had to stop the recording and catch my breath. Tull does a fantastic job reading this, btw--I've complained about his reading style before, but he's much better in this. The long pauses between sentences and even words, the artificially drawled last syllables, the long sighs in the midst of words--none are here! Frabjous day.
One of the best Maturin&Aubrey books yet.
This was another good book in the Aubrey-Maturin series. I never get tired of the quality of the author's writing, or with the tales of derring-do.
The Fortune of War picks up only a few days after where Desolation Island had ended, affirming my impession that by now we're dealing with an ongoing single novel rather than a series of stringed-together separate novels.Which would make this the sixth chapter in O'Brian's massive novel The Naval Adventures of Jack Aubrey & Stephen Maturin (a terminology I am going to stick with from now on. Probably.)
What is interesting about this volume in particular is how just when O'Brian seems to have settled down in a comfortable routine and has the novel chuffing along nicely he starts to mess with stuff and play around with his own formula (some slight spoiler in what is following are unfortunately unavoidable). The Fortune of War has a basic structure similar to HMS Surprise, i.e. we get a quiet stretch in the middle sandwiched between two action pieces of naval battle at the beginning and at the end of this chapter, all of it told with O'Brian's customary verve and brio that keeps even those passages where nothing much is happening lively and interesting.
Against this foil of the familiar, then, the ways The Fortune of War deviates from business as usual contrast all the sharper – the most surprising to me at least being that Jack does not command a ship during the whole of this chapter, and that it are other Captains who fight the sea battles while he is just an onlooker or a minor participant. In fact he is unusually passive during all the events depicted here and we're getting the unusual situation where Steve exercises considerably more agency than Jack does. This, after five chapters where things have been the other way round, gives a slightly off-kilter feeling to The Fortune of War, of things being just faintly out of balance and not in proper focus. It also expands the canvas of O'Brian's novel even more, by showing as a different perspective on a naval battle than the command deck or the surgeon's cabin. In short, The Naval Adventures of Jack Aubrey & Stephen Maturin continue to delight, and even manage to spring the occasional surprise on the reader. I'm still wondering whether O'Brian will manage to keep this up over the remaining fourteen chapters, but I'm very eager to find out.
Very good examples of backstory covered naturally and all kept interesting despite a sea battle being a sea battle in 22 books. Excellent series.

The sixth Aubry/Maturin — and they keep getting better and better, Brian finds the two friends prisoners of the Americans, the War of 1812 having begun. And not auspiciously for the British. The Americans with a completely volunteer navy (no press gangs for them) have been more than competently trained by their British cousins and have become more than a match for the British, who have become used to sweeping the seas of all opposition. The British have been blockading Boston and, to their humiliation, have had three excellent frigates sunk or captured.
The French and an American intelligence officer, Johnson, who in the meantime has become the consort of the lovely Diana Villiers — Stephen's heartthrob — who has been known to pass [b:on intelligence|1185416|La Voie et sa vertu = Tao-tê-king (Points Sagesses ; 16 ISSN 0339-4239)|Laozi|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181735892s/1185416.jpg|100074] herself, suspect Jack of intelligence gathering. Stephen, the professional spy and amateur ornithologist, is acutely aware of the damage his spying has done to the French and he narrowly evades their clutches. The pair and Diana escape with the assistance of a friendly American and sail out to the Shannon, Captain Broke. Broke is a cousin of Jack's and a magnificent seaman. Soon the Chesapeake sails out of Boston to give chase and battle. Knowing they will be hung if caught, the trio have an avid interest in the outcome of the battle. Diana is armed with some small pistols to shoot rats and boarders if necessary. She has been moved from the master's quarters to the forepeak, away from the action and below the waterline, as the officers cabins are broken down to clear the decks for battle. Stephen visits her before the action to fortify her spirits (she suffers dreadfully from seasickness). " 'Oh,' she said, and absently took three spoonfuls of the soup. 'Lord above, what is this?' " 'Soup. Portable soup. Pray take a little more; it will rectify the humours.' " 'I thought it was like-warm glue. But it goes down quite well if you don't breathe.' She ate on until a cockroach fell into the can from a beam above, when Stephen took the can and put it down among the other cockroaches on the deck."
The scene becomes vivid as they shoot the bolder rats. How could one not enjoy this kind of writing? But you will have to read Fortune of War to learn the outcome of the battle.

Clarendon Hills Liandra Syrah 2004
Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
Dark, glass-staining purple. Expansive, floral bouquet of boysenberry, candied plum, blueberry jam and kirsch, with sexy oak spices and vanilla accentuating the impression of sweetness. A gorgeous expression of bright dark berry flavors, complicated by deft notes of cinnamon, cigar box and star anise. This shows impressive power but also an overall sense of elegance and finesse, especially on the juicy, long finish. An amazing wine, with jaw-dropping concentration and clarity.
This is sexy stuff that proprietor Roman Bratasiuk says is "more Côte-Rôtie" than his other Syrahs. Its perfumed nose offers up hints of violets and cracked pepper to go along with raspberry fruit, while it's supple in the mouth—almost too easy—with pretty mixed berry flavors and a nib of bitter chocolate. Long and elegant on the finish. Drink now–2015.
The 2004 Syrah Liandra was fashioned from 100-year-old vines grown in clay and sandy soils. Its inky/purple color is followed by a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, blackberries, tar, and hints of smoke and bay leaves. Full-bodied, opulent, and rich with low acidity as well as sweet tannin, it can be drunk young or cellared for 10-15+ years.
Polished, generous and aristocratic, with currant and boysenberry flavors strongly shaded with mint and eucalyptus overtones, gliding smoothly into the long, open-textured finish. Best from 2010 through 2020. 500 cases imported.
The aromas are intriguing, as if you'd just opened a jar of exotic fruit jam from the outback. Then the palate is syrupy, a juicy mass of fascinating flavor. You have to like thick wines, but if you do, Liandra is worth seeking out.

Mary J. Blige promises it won't be long for her fans to witness her recording a jazz album and joining forces with Anita Baker.
There is chance that Mary J. Blige switches her Hip-Hop/R&B/soul roots for jazz music in her next album. In a recent interview with The Canadian Press, the singer revealed she wants Anita Baker as her collaborator should she record a jazz album.
"I haven't had a chance to collaborate with Anita Baker yet. So when I do my jazz album, Anita, I'm coming for you," Mary explained. "I have no idea when I'm going to do the jazz album, but it can't be long. It won't be long." As for why she chooses jazz among other music genres, she said she wants to try a more classic sound.
Mary J. Blige has just released her ninth studio album "Stronger with Each Tear" across U.S. on December 21. Boasting duet songs with Drake, T.I. and Trey Songz, the album is estimated to pull in around 300,000 to 350,000 in its first week on sale.

Bush believes time, calendar on his side
By Judy Keen, USA TODAY
CINCINNATI - Texas Gov. George W. Bush and his advisers believe that the calendar and the Republican Party's rules now start to work to his advantage.
However, it was not enough to end the unpredictable and increasingly rancorous race for the Republican presidential nomination. Still, Bush advisers said Tuesday was a turning point.
"This was a must-win primary for both sides. McCain needed this. We needed it. We got it," Karl Rove, Bush's chief strategist, said Tuesday night. Noting that McCain's wins in earlier primary elections relied on votes from independents and Democrats, he said, "Virginia was McCain's last chance before we get into a lot of states where only Republicans can vote, and a lot of states where Democrats have primaries the same day."
Bush continues to roll up huge support among Republicans. In Michigan, only 48% of those who voted described themselves as Republicans, but Bush got 66% of their votes. In Virginia, Republicans predominated - they were 63% of voters in the primary - and Bush got 69% of their votes.
Going into the next primaries, Bush will emphasize that he can win Republican votes, unite the party and beat the Democratic nominee in November. And he will say that his wins in Virginia and in North Dakota's caucuses proved that voters have rejected McCain's attempts to create what Bush considers a philosophical divide in the party.
A preview of Tuesday's voting:
If Bush can win in half those states, his advisers think he has the nomination in sight. Then, on March 14, Texans will give him a giant win: 124 delegates. Florida, where his brother Jeb is a popular governor, allows only Republicans to vote; it's likely most will back his sibling.
The effect of Bush's win in Virginia will be measured in those states, but his staff hopes for an immediate benefit: a shift in perception. They hope that the results in Virginia and North Dakota will end the talk of McCain's surge. They hope that reporters will have no more questions, as Bush was asked Tuesday in Cleveland, about whether his once-formidable lead is "slipping away."
The Bush campaign was badly shaken by his losses in New Hampshire and Michigan, but it was clear Tuesday that he and his aides believe he has weathered the worst.
Bush often insists that the losses and setbacks of the primary season have been a necessary step in preparing himself for the fall campaign.
He also believes that he has begun to unite the party.
"We are expanding our base without destroying our foundation," Bush said at a victory rally here Tuesday night. "And we are proving that the most innovative and compassionate ideas in American politics are conservative ideas.
"This is the message of this movement," he said.

President Barack Obama's call for creating new jobs through renewable energy development is a reality in Massachusetts.
The number of green energy jobs in the Bay State has grown by more than 11 percent.
"We have doubled our use of renewable energy, and thousands of Americans have jobs today building wind turbines and long-lasting batteries," Obama said.
Obama might have had Massachusetts in mind, specifically when he made those comments. It's leading the pack in generating green jobs.
Alicia Barton McDevitt, the CEO of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, said the growth rate is phenomenal.
"It is because we have come together through the state government, working with business partners, working with academic institutions, working with environmental advocates," she said, "to develop programs and policies that work that make business predictable; that allow businesses to grow and get a foothold in the market and then expand here in Massachusetts."
Most of the businesses adding jobs are small. The vast majority of the 5,000 businesses in the clean energy economy in Massachusetts are small businesses — with fewer than 10 employees.
"We are growing these businesses from the ground up — from small operations and startups to hopefully larger companies that generate additional jobs as they grow," McDevitt said.
Clean energy jobs, she adds, come in a variety of field and kinds.
"That would of course include things like wind and solar and those types of clean energies," she said. "The largest sector of clean energy jobs, actually, in Massachusetts is around clean energy measures around the energy efficiencies measures that are installed in homes and businesses."
Some of the jobs — a growing portion — are even in manufacturing. Massachusetts has seen a more than 30 percent increase in clean energy manufacturing jobs.
"We saw a significant increase in manufacturing and assembly jobs, and that is something that we're very proud of, particularly at a time when the traditional economic trends are trending the other way," McDevitt said. "But that's because we've helped companies grow and locate here."
McDevitt said the federal stimulus program was a boon to her state's efforts to develop these clean energy jobs.
"There were many dollars put in place to directly incentivize, for example, renewable energies and energy efficiencies at municipal buildings - for example, local wastewater and drinking water treatment plants," she said.
All of this clean energy is paying off with a decrease in Massachusetts' carbon footprint. Some of the decline can be attributed to broader trends, like the slowing economy and the movement from coal power plants to ones fired by natural gas.
But that's just part of the story, McDevitt says.
"Massachusetts this year was ranked number one in the country by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy," she said. "That's the first time that Massachusetts has claimed that top spot from California, so we're very proud of that. We've also seen solar grow a tremendous amount in recent years - to over 146 megawatts of installed capacity in the state."
But whether Massachusetts' growth continues is very much unknown. For example, Mitt Romney, the GOP presidential nominee, has suggested terminating tax credits for wind energy production.
"That makes it difficult for businesses that are trying to expand and plan to know what incentives will be available and how to price their products," McDevitt said. "Similarly, there are uncertainties in the marketplace around the prices of other sources of energy."
But at least for the next year, things still look good. McDevitt says Massachusetts clean energy companies are projecting increases of 12.4 percent.
"That would be a significant new expansion, and again I think far out-paces any other sector of the economy and predictions for growth in other areas," she said.

Bangalore-based Coffee Day Xpress plans to set up 1,000 food and beverage kiosks by 2008, which addresses the need to provide "fast, hygienic and affordable food" without investing in a large café. "The operational success in the IT capital has induced us to draw an aggressive nationwide expansion plan," said Sandip Mukherjee, President, Coffee Day Xpress.
The company has already set up 100 kiosks, a majority of them in South India, and plans to reach the 250 mark by March 2005. "We are targeting mainly IT corporates and retail petrol pumps for setting up our kiosks," added Mukherjee. Shopping malls, educational institutions and hospitals are not ruled out.
One tends to associate coffee kiosks and cafés with hip youngsters. So why isn't Coffee Day Xpress targeting educational institutes? "It is a seasonal business, since there are so many long holidays. Moreover, Coke and Pepsi have already tied up with most of the institutes and are offering a huge amount of money and supplies as part of their tie-up, something we cannot hope to match. However, we have tied up with IIT Delhi, Amity Business School and Lady Shriram College," Mukherjee told exchange4media.com.
The coffee conglomerate views the Delhi Metro as a prime opportunity. "There are, on an average, 55,000 daily commuters between Shahdara and Trinagar, so it is a hugely profitable business opportunity for any company. However, it might take time as there is a lot of paperwork and legalities involved in setting up kiosks in the Delhi Metro," said Mukherjee. "We are present at the Mumbai airport, and the Kolkata International airport has approached us," he continued.
Which segment offers lucrative business opportunity? "We have huge growth potential in the corporate segment, which is driven by the Café Coffee Day brand value, easily installable kiosk models and ready availability of fresh food and snacks," said Mukherjee. There are around 40 outlets in the corporate segment and the expansion of each company could mean an expansion opportunity for Xpress too. "Today we are present in the office premises of Ericsson, Airtel, IBM, HCL BPO, Hughes and in the petrol pumps run by oil majors HPCL, BPCL and IOC," added Mukherjee.
Of all the kiosks that the company plans to set up, 90% would be operated by franchisees. "The company's franchise model offers attractive business opportunities for housewives, small and medium traders and even for retired employees who have opted for VRS, as the initial refundable investments would be as low as Rs 2.5-3 lakh.
Moreover, with no working capital required, and with an average daily turnover of Rs 1,200, a franchisee is guaranteed of profits right from the first month," said Mukherjee.
Which region does the company view as the most lucrative? "The southern region, which would see major expansion, followed by the north. We have also received a very encouraging response from Delhi; our research has indicated that the average Delhiite has the desire to conveniently pick up hygienic and affordable food on the move," replied Mukherjee. "We are looking forward to increasing our presence here and are in the process of evaluating appropriate locations and franchise partners."

Mama's tryin' to blame this big mess on me, but I say it's the table's fault. While Mama and Daddy were eating dinner outside the other night Louie and I were relaxing near their feet. When our neighbor dogs came out on their porch I decided to go bark a friendly "Hello" to them. When I tried to stand up the table attacked my leg and I got really scared. As some of you may know, Newfoundland dogs are the strongest dog breed in the world. I proved that even though I'm a girl Newf I can pull a whole table over along with a chair with a human sitting in it! In fact, I made such a dramatic crash that three welds on the table were broken... take that you naughty table!
I think the real tragedy in this situation was that Mama and Daddy grabbed the dishes right before they crashed to the floor. I think I should have at least gotten some table scraps out of the deal. Come to think of it I NEVER get table scraps...what's up with that?
Love to all,
P.S. Mama says to tell you that all though she was quite worried that I had hurt myself during this little catastrophe I am perfectly fine :)

Singer Miley Cyrus is in the news again but this time she took everyone by surprise when TMZ recently uploaded a video of the teenage sensation smoking salvia. But the tean singer says that Liam Hemsworth's memories made her to resorted to salvia.
Miley is a role model for many teenagers, who almost idol worship her. So quite naturally her videos sent shock waves all across the world. Miley is unperturbed by all their actions and she recently remarked that she really does not bother about the video.
Miley also added that she is enjoying her life and she has attained the legal age to do it. In an interview, Miley commented that she took to smoking salvia after she saw a guy resembling Liam Hemsworth. The memories with Liam came rushing back to Miley and she resorted to salvia. Miley's friends have also added that such repercussions do not really bother her. Miley has already started shooting for her latest movie 'So Undercover' with Kelly Osbourne.
Various tabloids are of the opinion that Miley"s seem to getting out of control and most of her acts are done in desperation to grab attention. Miley also considers herself to be responsible for her parents Billy Ray and Tish"s decision to split due to incompatibilities. Sources also added that the frequent fights between Miley"s parents were because of her career and Miley felt that she was responsible for it.

It doesn't matter whether you're on the road or on the divan, because nothing is as cozy as a bit of leisure to sit back and dive into some reading material in the midst of the dreary winter days. In my case, I'll be savoring the teeny weeny bit of free time in the air reading. Yup, I'm leaving for Berlin this weekend and would love some insider tips by the way. But first, check out the fifth issue of the independent Scandinavian fashion/art magazine SMUG for some reading pleasure. SMUG #5 is finally hitting the magazine stands next week and is hands down one of the best, if not the best, Scandinavian publications out there, at least in my estimation.
The magazine is jam-packed with enthralling articles and editorials, featuring, but not limited to, Patrick Wolf, Yuja Wang, Andrea Mary Marshall, Larry Heard, works by Michael Donovan, and Hedi Slimane. I think my favorite interview is the one with Peter Gatien, which is both a heartbreaking and interesting read about the mogul behind four major clubs in NYC a few decades ago. And as a longtime fan of Hedi Slimane, it's no wonder that I'm literally exhilarated by the fact that he's one of the magazine's contributors. He never ceases to amaze me and it's a true honor to feature his works in SMUG.
For those of you fashion savvy ladies, you'll most likely get a thrill out of the conversations with the fascinating and talented Bruno Pieters, Siki Im, Jacquemus, and Katie Gallagher. The Bruno Pieters interview might inspire readers to consume more mindfully, not to mention raise awareness about the subtle political aspects of fashion. And one of the French up-and-coming youngsters featured in this issue, Simon Porte Jacquemus, who has a serious penchant for uniforms and who also wears his favorite clothes over and over again, talks about how he accidentally became a minimalist, his partiality for creating a sense of boredom, and distaste for details.
Anyway, the fifth issue of SMUG is the last one in Norwegian as the magazine will be internationally distributed as of summer 2012. 276 pages of timeless content and impeccable design, paper, as well as beautiful typography. What's more to add? Well, it's a magazine people will hold on to for many years to come. And if you happen to be in Oslo on Saturday, don't forget to hop by the magazine launch party for SMUG #5.
PS: The only place you can get hold of this magazine in the US for now, albeit it's in Norwegian, is at The Armory Show in New York City!
