What is "wealthy?"
According to as study by the big Swiss bank, UBS, wealth means having no financial constraints on activities. When forced to pick a dollar amount, they pick $5 million as the amount it takes to be considered "wealthy."Well, considering the fact that a really nice Gulfstream 550 can cost as much as Peter Jackson's $68 million plane, it seems to us that "no financial constraints" and $5 million don't always go together.
Wealth is relative. Having no financial constraints for a hermit can mean having no money. For the people in Jackson's income level, no financial constraint can mean (in J.P. Morgan's words) that if you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it.

The "Pharmatech" Industry And Its Profits
June 26, 2000
Some analysts refer to that part of the pharmaceutical industry responsible for developing and marketing hundreds of new drugs as the "pharmatech" industry, because it is the new economy model of a high-technology industry. Last year, pharmatech companies spent $21 billion in an effort to develop new -- and often life-saving -- drugs.
Liberal advocacy groups decry what they see as the high level of that industry's profits. And they applaud moves to impose price controls on prescription drugs. But here are a few facts regarding the economics of research and development of new drugs they should take into account:
- Critics cite drug company profits -- which Fortune magazine says averaged 18 percent of revenue in 1999 -- to justify their calls for price controls.
- But such profit levels are not out of line compared to those in other sectors of the economy, particularly for a new economy industry -- with commercial banks' profits averaging 15 percent of revenues last year, real estate achieving 17 percent levels, and computer software 15 percent.
- In the 1990s, pharmaceutical sales grew at an average annual rate of 8 percent to 15 percent -- with most of that growth the result of greater volume, not higher prices.
Price-control advocates might be described as knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing. They might be asked to estimate how long pharmaceutical manufacturers will be willing to plunge billions of dollars into the search for greater pain-relieving and life-saving drugs in a future full of price controls.

The winner: The Lego Batman Movie
Adding another £5.63m, The Lego Batman Movie continues to dominate the UK box office, and has now reached £23.08m after 19 days. Some schools were on half-term holiday last week, which boosted takings for Lego Batman as well as rival family films such as Sing, Moana and Ballerina. Sing is now at £26.55m (after adding £3.09m), and it remains to be seen whether Lego Batman will ever catch it.
The top six films remained the same this weekend, albeit with some shuffling of position. Fifty Shades Darker crossed the £20m barrier – only the sixth 18-certificate film ever to do so, after Fifty Shades of Grey, The Wolf of Wall Street, Gone Girl, Hannibal and American Beauty.
The challengers: Patriots Day and A Cure for Wellness
Two new major Hollywood releases, with a combined site count of 827, arrived with rather disappointing box-office numbers. Landing in seventh place, Peter Berg's Patriots Day began with £749,000 from 440 cinemas (£843,00 including previews). A Cure for Wellness took 10th place, with £410,000 from 387 venues, including a handful of previews.
The Patriots Day number compares with a debut of £1.76m plus £220,000 in previews for Berg's Deepwater Horizon last autumn. Both films star Mark Wahlberg and are based on true events, as is the case with Berg's Lone Survivor, which kicked off with £752,000 from 392 sites.
Comparisons for A Cure for Wellness are hard to make, since many of director Gore Verbinski's more recent films have benefited from big stars and established characters or elements (The Lone Ranger, the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy), while Rango was an animation. Dane DeHaan leading roles are not numerous, and 2012's Chronicle (which began with a robust £2.19m including previews of £617,000) benefited from a clearly defined teen-skewing audience. The 18 certificate for A Cure for Wellness can't have helped, but the lack of any major star, an ill-defined genre positioning and absence of familiar source material were likewise commercial negatives.
The awards movie battle
Among titles that featured prominently in the Oscars race, top commercial performer is Hidden Figures, which didn't convert any of its Oscar nominations into wins. Theodore Melfi's film grossed £986,000 at the weekend, a decline of just 19% from the previous frame. Next comes Lion, with £694,000 – a decline of less than 1%. At £9.26m, Lion is poised to overtake Arrival (£9.46m) to become the second highest grosser among this year's best picture nominees, behind La La Land (£29.19m).
Moonlight expanded from 85 to 175 cinemas, adding £393,000 at the weekend, for a total of £1.26m. It is such a competitive field currently that this was only enough to land 12th place. Similarly, Fences, which declined by a slim 7% at the weekend, found itself down in 13th place despite solid takings of £350,000. Total so far is £1.16m.
Following Moonlight's chaotic best-picture Oscar win, the film saw a big-box office spike, assisted by one-off showings in Odeon cinemas that had already been booked in anticipation of Oscars success. The film shot up to fourth place on Monday, with takings up 121% on the previous Monday. Moonlight expands to 280 cinemas this Friday.
US v UK: Oscar titles
Compared with US box office, both La La Land and Lion are performing better in the UK, when the adjustments are made for the disparity in the size of the markets. Given La La Land's US gross of $141m, you might expect a UK total around £14m, but it's twice that. Lion has taken $43m in the US, suggesting a UK equivalent between £4m and £5m – again, it's twice that. Conversely, Hidden Figures (which has scored a stonking $153m in US) and Fences ($57m) are not yet delivering equivalent numbers in the UK.
Given its subject, it's perhaps surprising that Jackie is overperforming in the UK (£3.5m) compared with what you'd expect from the US result (it's done $14m so far). Jackie was nominated for best actress, costumes and score, but won nothing.

One of the summer's biggest political fights in Washington, D.C., — which has so far been flying under the radar — is a battle between store owners and bankers over the fees charged during the use of debit cards.
As part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill last summer, the "swipe fees" on debit cards that are charged to retailers will drop from 44 cents per transaction to 12 cents.
The move is scheduled to be implemented on July 21, but the banking industry is mounting a last-minute challenge to have the change delayed for up to two years.
The provision was approved through an amendment offered by Democratic U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, of Illinois. Durbin was joined by 63 colleagues in passing the amendment.
Another Democrat, U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, of Montana, is proposing the delay to give the government time to further study the matter. Tester said his concern is how the change will affect smaller, community banks.
"I'm talking about rural America here," Tester, a farmer, said at a recent U.S. Senate Banking Committee hearing. "I'm talking about community banks and credit unions, that if they go away, it's another nail in the coffin."
Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, of Louisiana, and Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter, of Louisiana, both sit on the U.S. Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee and backed the Durbin amendment.
But bankers claim the provision is unfair because it didn't go through the normal committee process.
"At least we would know that there was some due process," said Bob Taylor, CEO of the Louisiana Bankers Association. "Stepping back to study this, to make sure it makes sense, is not too much.'
Taylor's group has 164 members who are closely watching the jousting. Taylor estimates that if the regulation is put in place, it will cost Louisiana banks about $36 million.
Using a factor of 10 on the amount of loans banks could issue, Taylor said loan power in Louisiana would shrink by $360 million. The Durbin amendment excludes banks with under $10 billion in assets.
Taylor and other bankers say the fees cover other banking operations, such as free checking.
The change will result in a 70 percent reduction in charges to retailers. Retailers like to note that swipe fees have tripled in the past decade, while bankers say big-box stores, such as Walmart and Target, will get a $20 billion windfall from the new move.
According to the Federal Reserve, banks receive about $17 billion a year in the interchange fees. Whatever happens, consumers are likely to feel the pinch, through either higher prices on store goods or bank fees on other services.
The fee battle is now in the Senate, but Louisiana House members say they are already feeling pressure from both sides. Most have not yet taken a position.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, of New Orleans, has already met with small and large retailers, along with restaurateurs concerned about the matter.
"It's a serious issue that I wish everybody could compromise on," Richmond said.
Republican U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry, of New Iberia, recently held a meeting between bankers and retailers in his district. Landry supports a one-year delay.
"My concern is not for the big banks, it's for the community banks, and I have a grave concern for them," Landry said. "This is a source of revenue for them."
U.S. Rep. John Fleming, R-Minden, owns Subway franchises. GHe said that the federal government shouldn't be involved in the process. Fleming says his stores take debit cards from all banks.
"It's one of those things where bankers would say that retailers are putting more money in their pocket, but I counter that with saying, 'Well look, if I'm getting a thirty-cent cut, well, so is my competitor," Fleming said. "That's going to eventually flow down to the consumer."
No matter which side he chooses, Fleming said the pressure is building.
"I've seen more heat from this, than any other bill except 'Obamacare,'" Fleming said.

Good morning. After yesterday's beautiful weather, we're soggy, splashed and eyeing the skies.
Getting off to a shaky start: The Vincent Gray administration continues to have personnel problems. A top aide, Lorraine Green, has withdrawn her name to lead the convention center board amid continuing questions about the Sulaimon Brown imbroglio.
Drumbeats in the distance: The drumbeat of a possible government shutdown is getting louder. And if you're one of the hundreds of thousands of government employees in the area (or you depend upon them), this is the biggest news in the land.
Dean of the press corps: We will videocast David Broder's memorial service, starting at noon. Politicians already have lined up (metaphorically) to remember the Post's longtime political writer.
Cooling their heels: If you've been following the Fairfax County schools controversy on student discipline, you'll want to know that officials now propose cutting in half the number of days that students have to sit out of classes while waiting for a decision on their cases.
Talk about weird: a bloody pig's foot was sent to a New York congressman's D.C. office yesterday.
Even more: John Kelly's Squirrel Week continues and we will have a live chat about it at noon; you might want to catch the Faces of the Civil War exhibition at the Library of Congress starting April 12; and be sure to vote in our informal poll about the executive who lost her job due to an extended medical leave. We'll have more news at PostLocal throughout the day.


text: I uninstalled all facebook updates when it was draining the battery. Then they released an update, and alot of people said it still didn't fix the battery drain. Is version 1.3.2 problem-free? I'm tired of having apps to update in the market, and i can't hit "update all" because I didn't want Facebook for Android to update. Any experiences/feedback is appreciated.

BizPac Review
May 2, 2014
Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," ripped into liberal pundit Donny Deutsch over the emails showing the Obama White House manipulated the narrative in response to the attack in Benghazi.
Deutsch was cautioning the GOP not to use the issue in the 2016 presidential election, saying it was "fools gold," when Scarborough snapped.
"What about the cover up from the White House," Scarborough exclaimed. "I got everybody here apologizing for the White House. What about a cover-up here, Donny?"

This product is currently not available for purchase
The Line 6 Spider IV 30 Guitar Combo Amp is hugely popular with many types of guitarists due to its versatile range of amp models and rock tones that all guitarists need in their collection. Equipped with a 12" custom Celestion speaker that offers 30 watts of sheer power, the Line 6 Spider packs a lot of punch for its deceivingly small size. As well as offering a great tone, this amp also features 12 amp models for a versatile performance, including green and red, clean, twang, blues and many more. Additional features includes 7 smart effects, 4 user programmable channels, built-in tuner, and free acces to Spider online. With all these fantastic features, the Line 6 Spider IV 30 Guitar Combo provides the perfect beginner amp to get you going, at an affordable price.
Product Ref: 14746
The Spider IV houses a perfectly distilled collection of twelve American and British amp tones that deliver the legendary tones every guitarist craves. From warm jazz tones with shimmering highs, through classic early metal crunch inspired by a 100 watt Marshall® Plexi, syrupy smooth blues, snappy Fender® Blackface style twang, to punchy high gain heaven inspired by a Mesa Boogie£reg; Dual Rectifier® and a channel dialed in for shredding inspired by Metal Red, the Spider IV 30 has a variety of tones to keep any guitarist happy!
This last channel, perfected for the shredders out there, is Line 6's 'Insane' amp model - lean, mean and flooded with distortion. Inspired by the tone of a Mesa Boogie® Dual Rectifier® (red channel) it delivers plenty of mid-range teeth for that bone crushing grind.
The front panel 3-band EQ including Bass, Mid and Treble knobs allows you to quickly and simply sculpt your tones until they sound just the way you want. If you're looking for a little more grit, pile on the distortion with the dedicated Drive knob - give your clean tones some bite, make your dirty tones filthy or roll back the Drive to clean up your crunchy tones for that classic mid-gain sound. Make sure your lead tones don't blow away your clean rhythm tones by balancing the volumes of your presets quickly and easily using the Channel volume knob. Once they are set you can forget them and concentrate on playing.
With the Spider IV 30 you have award-winning Line 6 effects at your fingertips. The Smart FX are easy to use and front panel accessible meaning you can spend less time tweaking your sound and more time playing. The Spider IV 30 features a vibey Chorus/Flange, Phaser, Tremolo, Delay, Sweep Echo, Tape Echo and Reverb. Use 3 effects at once to create almost endless tonal combinations and have all your time based effects fall in line and sync up like a pro using the Tap Tempo button.
Whatever your style, you can create up to four custom-made presets. Save each to a Channel memory and recall it at the touch of a button. If you have an FBV Express MKII Foot Controller or a FBV2 Foot Controller you can use these to scroll through and recall presets remotely.
The Line 6 Spider IV 30 has an advantage over many other amps. Its small size means it is portable and can fit into a smaller jamming space or venue easily. They can produce great tones, including loaded high gain, at low volumes. Why sacrifice tone for that late night jam or practice session? Now you can have both. The three quarter closed back cabinet provides a tight, punchy and focused response that you just don't get from an open back cabinet.
The in built tuner eliminates the need for any additional pedals, cables or devices. Simply push the button on the Spider IV's front panel and tune up. This is particularly useful when quickly setting up, or re-tuning during a set.
Spider Online provides even more value to Line 6 Spider IV users. This free online resource offers a combined total of over 500 lessons, tracks and tones created by fellow Spider owners.

Nawaz Sharif unveils schemes for youth, underprivileged
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday launched six schemes aimed at the youth and the underprivileged, including interest-free micro loans and free laptops, with an initial allocation of Rs 20 billion.
Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday launched six schemes aimed at the youth and the underprivileged, including interest-free micro loans and free laptops, with an initial allocation of Rs 20 billion.
Addressing the nation on radio and television, Sharif said these programmes are aimed at creating self-employment opportunities for the youth and will fulfil promises made in the election manifesto of his PML-N party.
Sharif`s second address to the nation after assuming power was focussed on the youth, who form a large section of Pakistani society and are a major vote bank.
The historic May 11 general election that swept the PML-N to power and marked Pakistan`s first democratic transition saw millions of youths participating in polls for the first time.
Sharif said the interest-free micro loan scheme is targeted at disadvantaged sections of society and will benefit 250,000 people. An allocation of Rs 3.5 billion has been made for it for the current fiscal.
He said Rs 4 billion has been earmarked for the Prime Minister`s scheme for provision of laptops. Under the scheme, 100,000 students will be provided laptops this year.
Another scheme that Sharif announced was the "Small Business Loan Scheme", designed for the unemployed, especially educated youth, to enable them to start their own businesses.
Under the scheme, loans ranging from Rs 500,000 to Rs 2 million will be given to jobless but educated youth at a concessional interest rate of eight per cent.
The remaining burden of the mark-up will be borne by the government, Sharif said. He stressed that 50 per cent of loans will be given to women by the National Bank of Pakistan and First Women Bank. Rs 5 billion has been allocated for the scheme.
Sharif also unveiled the "Youth Training Scheme" under which those completing 16-year degree education from recognised institutions will be given training to help them secure jobs at home or abroad.
For this, a scholarship of Rs 10,000 a month will be given for one year and 50,000 graduates will benefit from the scheme.
Sharif also announced the "The Youth Skill Development Scheme" for boys and girls who have passed Class 8. They will be trained for six months in different trades and given a scholarship of Rs 5,000 a month.
He further announced a scheme for sponsoring the fees of students from backward areas so that they are not deprived of their right to education. The government will pay an average Rs 40,000 as annual fees on behalf of 30,000 students.
Sharif said his cabinet has already approved the basic structure of these schemes and arrangements have been completed for their implementation. He invited suggestions from the people to make these schemes more transparent.
He rued the fact that the government was pumping in Rs 500 billion every year into the "black hole of institutional losses" and mentioned the Pakistan International Airlines, Pakistan Steel Mills and the railways as examples.
One of the main reasons for losses was over-staffing and appointments in these institutions were made on the basis of "nepotism and political recommendations", he said.

In examining my music and how it relates to the milieu of our times I have arrived at a term that describes it:
Disparate Elements Working Together Towards Common Goal.
MAN-MACHINE (Not Man and/or Machine)
The feeling that at any moment, all could fall into disarray.
The border of chaos
The edge where great things happen
Is the 21st century an age of disconnect, a time of reduced human interaction? Or, is our era one of increased connections? Take for example the ordinary task of driving a car. There is a connection of the driver's brain and body with the mechanical and electrical components of the automobile. Add to this road conditions such as stop lights and road surface. A malfunction in any one of these areas results in a bread down. Could this be thought of as a hyper connection if one considers that there are numerous other car/drivers all functioning at the same time and that if any one of them has a malfunction, many are affected by it? If one person has a brain that is impaired, catastrophe will result. If that one person runs into oncoming traffic resulting in hitting another car that slams into a power pole that supplies the electricity for the stop lights and for fifty houses, one of which is owned by a person who is on a dialysis machine there are tragic results.
Humans have always been dependent on one another, but in the 21st century the speed and the magnitude at which this connection takes place is much higher. One blip in the cost of oil and millions of people are affected.
My music is similar in that the synchronization between the players and the electronics, or between the players themselves is so tightly connected that if one thing goes wrong, the music will fall into disarray. My preference as a composer is to write music in which the hyper-connectivity aspect is in the foreground.

Sacsayhuamán: The Magnificent Inca Fortress
Flor Bojorquez
If you have been bit by the travel bug and are looking to explore Peru's backyard, rest assured that it boasts numerous sights with an endless wealth of history that you won't want to miss.
The city of Cusco alone, which many say was built in the shape of a puma, has connecting archaeological sites one can visit for its rich history, including the famous Inca Fortress that is located just 2km outside of Cusco.
Many interpretations are made as to the meaning of the word Sacsayhuamán but the most common one is that the Quechuan name comes from the word Saqsaywaman, meaning "satisfied falcon".
To the Spanish, this was a mighty fortress, but to the Incas this was their House of the Sun, a temple for prayers and sacrifices, so it only makes sense that as the noted Inti Raymi festival draws near (June 24), more visitors flock to the sacred grounds where this yearly celebration is held.
Constructed in the 14th century, this massive undertaking required the work of thousands of men and took around 50 years to complete. Three parallel walls can be seen on different levels and the zig zag appearance suggests the "teeth" of a puma's head that the complex represents.
The giant ramparts with carved limestone boulders perfectly melding into each other without the use of mortar may have an other-worldly feel to it, but historically these remnants are simply visible proof of the ingenuity of Inca engineering at its finest.
Surrounded by beautiful landscape with a lush green valley, a colorful history can be derived from visiting this old world site and its breathtaking view can be admired up close or enjoyed quietly from the top of an adjoining hill.

Pistachio Day
Pistachio Day
© Denzil Green
26 February
The 26th of February is the day to treat yourself to Pistachios, and learn a little more about them. Many people already know that Pistachios aren't naturally red, but why are they dyed at all?
While learning about Pistachios, you can treat yourself to them in baklava or in Pistachio Ice cream, or even in a savoury dish.
In the French Revolutionary Calendar, Pistachio Day -- "jour de la pistache" -- was Sextidi 26 Brumaire. (Brumaire was the second month of autumn, occurring roughly between 22/24 October and 20/22 November.)
The University of California Cooperative Extension has sponsored a Pistachio Day for the state of California on the third Tuesday of every January
since at least 1998. It's for Pistachio Growers, and is usually held at the Visalia Convention Center. in Visalia, California.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for SustainUS, Inc., Quincy, MA, USA
SustainUS gives youth a voice for their future like no other organization. I have been a member of SustainUS since 2002 and a leader in the organization since 2007. I am proud to now serve on SustainUS's Board of Director. SustainUS empowers young people to advance sustainable development in a nonpartisan and inclusive process that brings in young scientists, policy makers, social and environmental justice advocates, business students, and youth from other countries working or studying in the U.S.A. It's role in helping to build youth power, especially at international negotiations, is impressive.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Seeing them help to lead the creation of the youth constituency (www.youthclimate.org) at the UN climate negotiations, among many other examples.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Convince more funders of the opportunity they are missing by not supporting SustainUS's work.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Wayne Schotten Proudly Presents Wild Strawberry Films
In the mid 2000's, Mr. Schotten started Wild Strawberry Films. The company was named after three inspirations which were Ingmar Bergman's film, Wild Strawberries, the metaphorical meaning of a beautiful and surprise discovery, as well as the literal meaning of finding a strawberry that is fresh on the vine, with a sweet aromatic smell found on his father's farm. The fundamental concept of Wild Strawberry Films is about learning and discovering.
Mr. Wayne Schotten loves the organic sense of film sets with other's ideas that give goosebumps, as well as enjoying the generosity of collaborative work and the entire process. His current project is a historical miniseries called Chatelain.
He is truly a filmmaker's filmmaker as he loves to be on set and interact with the cast and crew. Mr. Wayne Schotten believes that in order to be a good director, one needs to possess that inner-self-confidence of being able to believe he or she can produce worthwhile work. He noted that he would like to have a crew and cast who believed they were the best at their roles because it would lead to the overall project having even more cohesiveness as well as the best product possible. One must believe in themselves enough to be able to confidently present their ideas and creativity to others. Through that confidence, trust is built and maintained on set. On set, it is that intimate, creative endeavor of problem-solving in a collaborative effort that Mr. Schotten thrives on.
Wayne Schotten can best be described as the type of filmmaker who is blue collar in digging in and doing whatever it takes to get the process done as well as fully enjoying the process of people coming together.
He was first inspired to become a filmmaker since he was a child watching movies in the theater on Friday nights. After seeing Cecil B. DeMille's The 10 Commandments, and being amazed by the famous stunning scene of the Red Sea parting, he wanted to become a filmmaker. He was also influenced by Ingmar Bergman's film Through a Glass Darkly, which had a profound impact on him, as it provoked intellectual thought in him long after the film ended.
His creative writing process can stem on the basis of a single idea in which he builds upon as well as from reading historical books on Medieval European history. He believes that the best and most promising, fruitful ideas are those that have no bottom, in which there are always new things to discover. He notes that the key is to always write what you know.
He is inspired by many renowned filmmakers such as John Huston, Ingmar Bergman, Billy Wilder, Sergei Eisenstein and Alfred Hitchcock. Wayne Schotten believes that what makes a unique filmmaker is one who is willing to reach out and try new things.
When asked about how he feels his creative work has evolved over the years, he commented that when you are committed to your craft, there will always be new ways of telling the story. Over the years, he has learned how to not repeat himself, be less obvious and more proficient, as he depends on his instinct. As the end product is inevitable, it is satisfying to accomplish your vision within the set parameters, in which there is nothing left to do.
His upcoming project is a psychological thriller, in which there are a series of concentric circles by which a team of psychologists determine which concentric ring to place the criminals in. Once they have learned and developed better understanding and behavior, the prisoners will be able to enter the next outer layer of the circle. Each subsequent outer circle has more privileges for the prisoners who have demonstrated that they have been learning and changing their ways for the positive. However, two prisoners work to outsmart the system. Will they succeed? Find out in Escape From Bullseye.
Mr. Wayne Schotten also has comprehensive expertise in the convergence of film and video technology and technique. He has the rare ability to find the optimum expression for film and video productions from inception to post-production. He is the technical and aesthetic master of the San Francisco film community. His cinematography ranges from nuanced, visually gorgeous images that serve rather than overshadow the story.
For Wayne Schotten, the best part of being a filmmaker is the interaction with other creative people, along with the feeling of working in concert with others, and experiencing the richness and depth of everyone's collective contributions and collaborations. No matter what genre, Wayne Schotten believes that story is everything.

Authwhore's Obligatory End-of-Year Recommendations
December 24th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Of the fifty-six books I read in 2008, most were really good.
Unlike the Establishment of book reviewers snuggly embedded in their ivory towers with snacks and stacks of free Advanced Reader Copies from the finest of New York's publishers, the rest of us must seek entertainment, knowledge, and enlightenment in the half-off bins and bargain sales and paperback shops.
I cannot provide a list of the best, "must-read" books of 2008, because most of the books I read in 2008 were not published in 2008. But for all of you with The Cause, recklessly plundering half-off bins, bargain sales, and paperback shops, may this list provide a humble glimpse into all the good reading Out There.
Good writing is timeless, never bound to an arbitrary year. Walker Percy's The Moviegoer, Franz Kafka's The Castle, and Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 provided some of my most enjoyable reading experiences of 2008.
The non-fiction books consumed in 2008 provided stirring perspectives for making sense of our world and the people who tend to inhabit it:
Ultimately, 2008 was a year of superb novel reading. However incisive and relevant non-fiction books may be, it is always the novel that manages to grasp and expose those nebulous, ill-defined aspects of life that make it so horrifying and magnificent:
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
"Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking."
- Albert Einstein
One Response to "Authwhore's Obligatory End-of-Year Recommendations"
I will be reading some of these for sure.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Flash back to this date one year ago.
Frankford resident Taite Anna Daisey was a freshman at Messiah College in south-central Pennsylvania – in the early stages of her reign as Miss Teen Delaware United States 2016.
Today, she is a sophomore at the College of Charleston gearing to embark on her reign as Miss South Carolina International 2017.
Travel, volunteer events, appearances across the Palmetto State and a mid-summer trip to Charleston, WV, for international competition are some of the upcoming highlights for the 19-year-old Guatemalan native, the adopted daughter of Robert Daisey and the late Marla Banks Daisey.
"I will travel around the state a lot," said Ms. Daisey, a 2015 graduate of Indian River High School. "I am incredibly excited to represent South Carolina internationally."
The Miss International 2017 Pageant in West Virginia's state capital will be held July 31 to Aug. 5. Miss International representatives from America's 50 states plus those from other countries will compete.
The actual pageant is two days, Aug. 4-5.
Ms. Daisey was selected Miss South Carolina International 2017 through an interview and pictorial process.
"Typically, you have a pageant. But now they are leaning more toward just an interview and making that the most important thing," said Ms. Daisey. "I sent in pictures. They narrow it down to who they want to speak to. Then you have the interview; and there are a lot of questions."
Ms. Daisey was notified she had been selected several weeks ago. More recently she received her Miss South Carolina International 2017 sash and tiara.
"I got the phone call early in the morning," said Ms. Daisey. "I was asleep and it woke me up. So, I was half awake on the phone but then I realized what was said. I was super excited and called one of my sorority sisters."
Like her reign as Miss Teen Delaware United States, Ms. Daisey plans to continue her advocacy to raise awareness about ovarian cancer; the disease took the life of her mom, Ms. Banks Daisey in January 2016.
"I am going to continue with the ovarian cancer awareness," said Ms. Daisey. "I also plan on helping the South Carolina Ovarian Cancer Foundation."
She also intends to support Water Mission, based in the Charleston, S.C. area. That is part of a worldwide effort to build water solutions to address the global water crisis.
Ms. Daisey, a fulltime student majoring in public health with a minor in political science, plans to fit her ambassador role into her rather busy and demanding schedule.
"Of course, there is a lot to do here. I live a couple blocks from the medical university – the Medical University of South Carolina. I volunteer there," she said. "I am a student. And I also have a job; I am a swim teacher at Kids First Swim in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina."
Her Miss South Carolina International reign will run one year, into next February 2018.
A GoFundMe link has been set up to support Ms. Daisey with travel expenses for appearances, international pageant and volunteer activities as Miss South Carolina International 2017.
That link is: https://www.gofundme.com/miss-south-carolina-international

Khamosh Trailer (1985)
"Classic whodunit" 01 January 1985 Horror, Thriller, Mystery 102 mins
Khamosh is 1985 Indian thriller directed and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The film starred Bollywood actors such as Naseerudin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Amol Palekar, Soni Razdan and Pankaj Kapoor. It, however, did not do well at the box office. The film became notable for actors Amol Palekar, Soni Razdan and Shabana Azmi portraying fictional versions of themselves. It is a suspense movie, wherein the murderer is among the group of people living together in a hotel, and the actual murderer is well hidden in the plot until the very end.

The all new Nautilus X Atomizer from Aspire combines the best features of its legendary Nautilus Mini, but with some great new features. It has a completely redesigned airflow system named U Tech. That is a completely redesigned airflow chamber to increase flavor while also keeping a good tight draw. The large coils and wide juice channels are an improvement over the prior year's model. If you are serious about vaping you will want to get the new Aspire Nautilus X atomizer frpm Aspire.
The question on everyone's mind is how is the Nautilus X Atomizer better than the Kanger Pro Tank. To answer that question we here at SSV put the two devices to a test. While we found both devices to more than adaquate, we liked the fashionable style of the M X clearomizer.
Nautilus X Atomizer coils are rated at 14 to 22 watts. Couple that with the new U-Tech Kanthal coil technology (the vape has to flow through the coils twice) and we found we could make huge clouds of smoke without sacrificing any flavor. The quick fill tank is easy to clean and the hassel free air flow performance with with easier clean up made this atomizer a quick favorite. Truly, the Nautilus X represents a peak in vaping.

Why do I wake at 3am, almost every night?! Light is blocked out, windows open, but no noisy neighbours.
Where do you live? If it is in the northern hemisphere you best not have that window open or you won't wake up at all!

Meth resource center: Did the $600,000 agency turn out to be what leaders envisioned?
WILLMAR -- Minnesota's new information center and training ground for methamphetamine treatment is slowly taking shape in Willmar.
Called the Minnesota Methamphetamine Resource Center, the small office is located in the Medallion building on the Willmar Regional Treatment Center campus.
An executive director and administrative assistant have been hired, a training workshop is planned for September and a primary component of the program -- a Web site -- goes online for the first time today.
The 2005 Legislature provided $600,000 over two years to create the center in response to the growing concern about meth use in Minnesota and the lack of accurate information about how to treat people addicted to the stimulant, said Doug Seiler, regional administrator for the State Operated Services Division of the Department of Human Services.
Anecdotal information with worst-case scenarios about meth addicts was being taken as gospel by the public, and professionals -- including treatment counselors, law enforcement and educators -- were struggling to find accurate information on the best treatment practices and different models of treatment, said Seiler.
The center will help meet those needs by providing easily accessible information through the Web site that focuses on fact instead of fiction, he said.
Workshops that will feature well-known and well-respected meth treatment professionals from around the country will be held around the state to provide Minnesota meth counselors and community members new treatment information.
The office in Willmar will host a library for hard-cover resources and help direct people to find information they need.
While it may be a good start, Sen. Dean Johnson, DFL-Willmar, said the center is "not exactly" what he envisioned when he and Gov. Tim Pawlenty negotiated the funding for the program in Willmar.
Johnson said $600,000 should "buy more than two employees and a Web site."
With its current plan, the center won't provide the kind of deep, day-to-day training of meth counselors that Johnson had in mind.
Rep. Al Juhnke, DFL-Willmar, also said he thought the center would "become a practicum for meth treatment" where meth counselors could spend days or weeks doing hands-on training in Willmar.
Johnson said he's not making accusations of wrongdoing but said the department may have misunderstood or misinterpreted the agreement he and Pawlenty had regarding what would be happening at the meth treatment center in Willmar.
Johnson said the Department of Human Services has "been a little on the cheap" in developing the center that is needed to address "the most plaguing problem in our state and in our nation."
With a budget of $600,000, Seiler said he knew they wouldn't be opening up a multibed treatment facility and decided the best use of the taxpayer money was to create a resource center to provide accurate information and education to professionals and the public about addiction and treatment as well as awareness of meth issues and other chemical abuse and addictions.
The center was never designed to be a facility to house and treat meth addicts, Johnson said, but it was supposed to provide in-depth training for meth counselors on the Willmar campus.
Johnson said he thought the center would provide "eyeball-to-eyeball" interaction and training on the Willmar campus, where other drug and alcohol treatment programs are already taking place.
Juhnke said he envisioned the center being a "kind of a hands-on research facility that would explore best practices for meth treatment."
Gathering information that others have done about meth treatment is a good first step, Juhnke said, but he believes the intent of the legislation and the funding was for the center to actually put those best treatment practices to use in a clinical setting on the Willmar campus, where chemical dependency programs are already taking place.
Wording in the legislation says the money is to be used to "support research on evidence-based practices for the treatment of methamphetamine abuse."
The meth center -- which the Legislature specifically said was to be located in Willmar -- is also supposed to disseminate the results of the research and "create training for addiction counselors specializing in the treatment of meth abuse."
The meth center Web site says, however, the mission of the Minnesota Methamphetamine Resource Center is to "give the public factual information on methamphetamine and help the public make more informed decisions on methamphetamine issues that face Minnesota."
Besides an apparently different direction in the mission, the center also has a different name than what Johnson and Juhnke anticipated. The two legislators have consistently referred to the facility as the "center for excellence" for training meth counselors.
Seiler said that name was a bit presumptuous. He said if the center proves itself to successful that name could be added in the future.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin/Travis County EMS has treated over 50 people for K2 incidents since Friday.
On Sunday, ATCEMS treated a total of 17 patients. ATCEMS says they also transported 11 people on Saturday.
The outbreak started on Friday afternoon where medics responded to 14 K2 incidents on 6th Street and Neches Street. Another 12 people were transported into area hospitals overnight.
In August, a new batch of K2 circulated in downtown Austin, leading up to 69 people being treated for the synthetic drug. Police arrested Charles Herd, 56, and his wife Juanita Price, 41 for supplying the bulk of K2 that led to multiple overdoses at the time.
ATCEMS says they will continue to monitor the situation.
