On the Books Mar. 16: Orange Prize longlist announced, James Frey weirdness, and more
The 2011 Orange Prize longlist has been announced: Almost half of the 20 listed authors for fiction are nominated for their debut works, including the envy-inducingly young Téa Obreht for The Tiger's Wife, and also includes veterans like last week's National Book Critics Circle Award winner Jennifer Egan. (Side note: I love a good longlist and seeing it whittled to a shortlist, and The Guardian's Robert McCrum raises interesting questions about the "reductive or seductive" power of book lists–who gets left out?).
James Frey is doing publishing his own way. The announcement of his book about a Bronx-based Messianic pot smoker who sleeps with prostitutes was unusual enough, but now Frey seems to be coming down with a Messiah complex of his own. The original manuscript of his book will be printed on canvas and displayed by the Gagosian gallery, which is also publishing the book on a limited 10,000-copy run. If that's not enough, 1,000 Frey fans (are there that many?) will be able to buy a signed collectors' edition for a hefty $150.
In more awards news, author Deborah Eisenberg won the PEN/Faulkner Award for The Collected Stories of Deborah Eisenberg, beating out Jennifer Egan. It's kind of great that book awards are so less predictable than film awards.

In the Moment: Dave Mac Nab keeps it fresh.
The Sound of Science
Dave Mac Nab fires up his jazz lab
By Greg Cahill
After 12 weeks working as a hired gun in the house bands for the national touring productions of The Lion King and Hairspray in San Francisco's theater district, guitarist Dave Mac Nab is eager to get back to his experimental crucible of sound, the Dave Mac Nab Jazz Lab. "I'm hungry to play!" says the highly sought-after bandleader, sideman, session player and songwriter.
Now living in Sebastopol, the New York- born and L.A.-raised musician has shared the stage over the years with Sting, Shelby Lynne, k.d. lang, Matchbox 20, Jeff Beck, Bob Weir, Rickie Lee Jones and a host of other acts. But it is the Dave Mac Nab Jazz Lab--equal parts rock, funk, Latin and blues, and with a strong rhythmic drive--that serves as the main outlet for his creativity.
The Jazz Lab is drawn from a loose-knit confederation of about 10 players, many from the same San Francisco avant-jazz collective that spawned Gen-X jazz guitarists Charlie Hunter and Will Bernard, and violinist Jenny Scheinman. That talent-laden pool of players includes drummers Scott Amendola (of the Charlie Hunter Quartet), Ches Smith (of Theory of Ruin), Jason Lewis, Alan U'ren and Devon Hoff, and bassists Todd Sickafoose and John Shifflett, among others.
"Personnel decisions are based on a combination of what I feel like doing on a particular night, and of course, who's available," explains Mac Nab, who has recorded two CDs on the Noir label. "But no matter who's playing, I can count on any of them to be on the same page as me. And sometimes I really like it when the band comes together at the last minute. While I know it's a little confusing for promotion of the shows, it's cool because I don't have time to think about the gig too much, therefore keeping it fresh and spontaneous.
"This is the spirit of the Lab--keeping the music fresh, honest and alive, regardless of the personnel or repertoire."
That sense of spontaneity comes to play during the song selection process as well, and it lends the proceedings an adventurous edge. "To me, with this type of instrumental music, it's not so much the songs themselves, but rather how they're played," Mac Nab says. "That's why a typical night for me will include Thelonious Monk, Paul Simon, Cole Porter, Sting, the Beatles, Duke Ellington, Radiohead and originals all mashed together, with the cohesion supplied by the players and their interpretations.
"I've never made a claim that what I'm doing here is revolutionary or groundbreaking," he adds, "it's just honest, in-the-moment playing that attempts to incorporate the different styles I like to play.
"We're all up there playing from the heart, and that seems to be what the folks love to hear."
The Dave Mac Nab Jazz Lab with drummer Alan U'ren and other players to be named performs on Thursday, July 15, at Zebulon's Lounge, 21 Fourth St., Petaluma. 8pm. $6. 707.769.7948.

'The Lost Chords' (ECM/WATT)
Jazz pianist and post-bop composer extraordinaire Carla Bley, who organized this all-star session, calls The Lost Chords "a continuation of a search . . . of one small corner of American music." This follow-up to 2003's critically acclaimed big-band album Looking for America has as its genesis the frustration that Bley experienced as a child disappointed to learn that Sir Arthur Bliss' piano music "The Lost Chord" proved harmonically ordinary.
Years later, Bley is still searching for that lost chord, and she's come up with some doozies, including some too difficult to play on piano. She employs them throughout (while giving the rhythm section inspiring and challenging parts) on nine songs that include the title track (which opens with an entrancing slow movement), a 15-minute arrangement of "Three Blind Mice," and "Tropical Depression," a revamped version of an earlier previously unrecorded Bley piece once known as "4/4 Under the Volcano."
This newly released CD, full of catchy melodies and evoking a sense of melancholia, goes a long way to further Bley's reputation as one of the most consistently intriguing figures in the experimental-jazz scene. Visit www.wattxtrawatt.com for Bley's extensive account of the recording of this project--truly one of the most eccentric blogs on the Internet.

Headshots. Whether you love or hate them, that little square profile picture is an important first impression.
Showing off your best self in a photo that is engaging and authentic is often the reassurance an employer or client needs to move forward and connect. It is important that images are of the highest quality and natural. This is not a glamor shot. Be yourself. Wear the makeup, hair and clothes you would "in real life." A professional photographer will then work to pose you comfortably and put that twinkle in your eyes.
I personally prefer outdoor sessions for headshots. Being at a park (or an open window in a pinch) instantly creates a relaxed vibe that leads to natural smiles. Throwing in extra studio equipment and flashes can create perfect lighting but also distraction and strained expressions. It's enough pressure to look into that big lens and remember there is an actual person behind it waiting for eye contact and a smile!
This series of headshots was created for the fabulous and NEWLY ANNOUNCED Firenze Wealth Management team. There was a constant buzz of conversation behind the camera. It was obvious to me and anyone walking by that this was a team that enjoyed working together and was excited about where they were headed. Now each team member has a selection of quality images to introduce them to clients and make that first impression count. Each image sends a clear message of professionalism and approachability.
An added bonus? By shooting as a team with a consistent set of backgrounds and editing, the company now has a set of headshots that look good together in marketing materials and on its new website.
What does your current headshot say about you?
Find out more about Angie Windheim Communications LLC and how it could help your small business or nonprofit through professional copywriting and photography.
Nonprofits and small businesses are problem solvers that deliver a unique vision of how to serve.
Today's buyers, investors and sponsors are rarely impulsive. They research, read reviews, talk to friends and colleagues. They choose to support services and products that come from authentic and well-intentioned sources.
Communicating your organization's message, expertise and personality is critical in modern marketing. While quick exchanges on social media and a well-tuned website can get audience attention, you must do more to serve and develop a long-term relationship. You already know that you share an interest with your audience. Now it's time to create relevant content that shows you understand, that you get it, that you are here to serve.
Often organizations have a lot to share but sometimes lack the communication skills. Copywriters can help craft the content. If you are struggling with ideas, a skilled copywriter can become the investigative reporter you need and develop an editorial calendar for you.
Almost always, there will be more ideas developed than can be covered in a single article or blog post. If you are hosting an event or show or series of classes, consider publishing a newspaper or "show daily." It may seem like a huge undertaking, but if you have the right help, it's an amazing chance to put all that you do and represent into a very digestible, entertaining vehicle. It is a chance to go beyond the simple where-what-when event details and get to the "why."
In the C.M. Russell Museum's The Russell Review daily newspaper, each of four issues covered not just "what's happening today" but how support for these events carries on throughout the year. Educational programming and stewarding the legacy of Charlie Russell, the art and soul of the American West, is the underlying reason people come to Great Falls every March. Attendees appreciate that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view and buy significant historic and contemporary Western art also helps preserve Russell's West for our next generations.

Small business owners are prone to a yearly philosophical check in – or let's be real – a yearly panic attack. As the owner of a portrait photography business with one employee (yes, that's me), I get it. I have found myself each February with a deeply furrowed brow, fully engrossed in small business blogs, tutorials, webinars, and more. I wonder, how do I grow this business? Do I want to grow? Am I really offering what people want? What's my plan? These fundamental questions flood my brain until I am frozen and unable to get anything done.
So, if like me, you start watching the online business gurus with ginormous social media followings. Maybe you become one of their followers. The gurus wag their fingers from their perfectly crafted Instagrams and say that what you need is….an email list. Wait? What? That's it? Spam customers? Nobody wants that. It smells of telemarketing which is why we love that "block caller" feature on our phones.
Thankfully the gurus actually advocate something very different from spam. Phew! The gurus want you as a small business owner to succeed by "servicing" clients through thriving email lists. And they actually have amazing ideas on just how to do that. Ideas like: free downloads, ebooks, educational webinars or podcasts, online quizzes and games, consistent and authentic content, exclusive offers for subscribers, and more.
You may be thinking "Wow! Those are great ideas!!" You may also be thinking that those ides could literally take Every. Waking. Moment. You. Have. In. Life. Who exactly would be left to run the business and do the work? Who creates the products and services that actually make money? This is when it feels appropriate to cover your eyes with your hands and fantasize about how it might just be easier to work for someone else.
I realize that I have set up quite a problem. Thank goodness, it's not a problem without a solution.
Once you recognize you are only borrowing space on social media and that email lists are a way to create a community of subscribers that is truly yours to keep, there is no going back. It is absolutely worth the time to make it happen…but you may need help. That's okay! Sit down and figure out your strengths and capabilities beyond the business you have created. Then sit down and figure out what your weaknesses are. If you are not already a photographer-copywriter-email-platform whiz, then it's time to consider investing in a local professional.
There are people who actually love and "get" social media and how it can help build your email lists. There are people who can write a newsletter or white paper or even just an action-driven subscriber landing page. They know about email campaigns and can wordsmith to reflect your authentic voice and image. There are people who are able to create the content that fits your vision and that is an investment that should ultimately pay for itself.
Some examples?
As a photographer, I have been privileged to help entrepreneurs, small businesses and nonprofits with fresh headshots and images to fill websites and newsletters with content that is intentionally crafted and enticing. No more lackluster Instagram grids! As a copywriter, I have written impactful e-newsletters, thank you letters, annual reports, website content, guest articles for local publications, press releases, and more. I can evaluate where you are now with your online presence to craft the ideal strategy that uses email lists to reach the right audience and inspire them to take action.
I am a firm believer in the power of email lists for just about every business that I can imagine. But, it's okay as a small business owner or non-profit to say "I ain't got time for that" and hand it over to a professional. I do what I love, so that my clients can get back to doing what they love.

Initiatives / Accomplishments
Data Collection Initiative (DCI)
Coming up on its third winter season, Silent Tracks has teamed up with the Western Colorado University, Master in Environmental Management (MEM) Program to provide funding for graduate students to collect recreational user data in the backcountry of the Gunnison Valley. Silent Tracks has raised $9,000 for this program via matching donations from Silent Tracks, individuals and other organizations, and generous grants from the Community Foundation of Gunnison Valley (CFGV), and the Town of Crested Butte.
Winter Manners
Silent Tracks collaborated with other local user groups to develop and print an educational brochure with tips for reducing conflicts between users in the backcountry. This free brochure is available at the CB/Mt CB Visitor Centers and elsewhere around the community.
Solitude Monitoring
Silent Tracks has partnered with the Gunnison National Forest. We recruited volunteers to conduct solitude monitoring surveys on two trails in the West Elk Wilderness, Mill Castle Trail #450 and Coal Mesa Trail #451. Members and volunteers donated over 100 hours of their time to complete the monitoring in the summer and fall of 2018. We anticipate this project will be ongoing and look forward to working on other solitude monitoring projects in the future.
Winter Travel Management Plan (WTMP)
Silent Tracks is a sponsor and a participant in the informational series on winter recreation travel management. The four-part series will be held at Western Colorado University throughout November and early December 2018.
Community Events and Fundraising
Silent Tracks has been active in leading and participating in community engagement and outreach
- Roaring Judy Bird Walk: Led by Arden Andersen, an avid bird watcher, and bird expert. It was well attended with 12 birder enthusiasts who joined for lunch afterward at Tassinong Farms in CB South.
- CB Arts Festival: Silent Tracks was an exhibitor at the 2018 Crested Butte Arts Festival. Members and volunteers manned the display over three days, provided educational information, and we increased our membership by nearly 30%, in addition to collecting significant monetary donations in support of our goals.
Local Community Advocacy
Our advocacy for preservation and quiet use has resulted in policies that reflect our member's desires regarding our public lands. Initiatives include:
- We have participated in forums such as the Gunnison County Planning Commission public comment meetings to make our members' sentiments known on issues ranging from helicopter tourism to expansion of over-snow vehicular travel in the Gothic Corridor.
- Gunnison Public Lands Initiative (GPLI): Although ST was not an official member of the "working committee", ST participated by attending GPLI working group meetings as observers and submitting written comments over the past two years. ST has been a voice for the preservation of quiet places and has voiced strong support for wilderness extensions and new wilderness areas proposed by the GPLI working group.
- GMUG National Forest Revision Plan: ST has submitted written comments to the Grand Mesa, Uncompaghre and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forest throughout the Forest Plan revision process. We continue to review, comment and inform our members and supporters through our e-newsletters and Action Alerts on the developing plan.

Consumer Health Digest #09-45
Your Weekly Update of News and Reviews
November 5, 2009
Consumer Health Digest is a free weekly e-mail newsletter edited by Stephen Barrett, M.D., and cosponsored by NCAHF and Quackwatch. It summarizes scientific reports; legislative developments; enforcement actions; news reports; Web site evaluations; recommended and nonrecommended books; and other information relevant to consumer protection and consumer decision-making.
Please Help Quackwatch and Dr. Barrett
A Message from Robert S. Baratz, MD, PhD, DDS
Dr. Stephen Barrett, has been a leader the worldwide struggle against quackery and health fraud for more than 35 years. In addition to publishing the weekly Consumer Health Digest, he has written and/or edited 50 books and manages 24 consumer protection Web sites, including Quackwatch, which has more than 100,000 page views per month and has won many awards for its accuracy and quality. Dr. Barrett also serves as a trusted resource for the media, law-enforcement agencies, educators, and thousands of individual consumers who contact him each year for help.
Quackery promoters have tried to counter his influence by libeling him and filing groundless lawsuits. One campaign falsely suggested that he had lost his medical license. Another (settled in June 2010) accused him of being a habitual criminal.
The legal fees and other costs of defending against these assaults, while partially defrayed by donations, have been much higher than the cost of running the sites.
Very few people have the courage and persistence to engage in the struggle against quackery. Dr. Barrett intends to continue, but can use help in defraying legal expenses. Quackwatch and its companion Web sites are important consumer resources. They are free to the public, but maintaining them requires the ability to deal with frivolous assaults by well-financed quacks and the special interests that profit from quackery. If you appreciate Dr. Barrett's work, please make a contribution. Please give whatever you can.
- For amounts under $50, or for contributions of any size from foreign countries, please use the PayPal link on the Quackwatch donations page. It is not necessary to be a PayPal subscriber to do this. It can be done by anyone with a credit card, regardless of where you reside.
- If you can give $50 or more and live in the United States, it would be best to mail a donation to:
Chatham Crossing, Suite 107/208
11312 US 15-501 North
Chapel Hill, NC 27517

Date(s) - Thursday, May 11
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Nelson Blue
Hot on the heels of last month's rendezvous at the other Kiwi-managed bar in the city, we're headed downtown to the original, Nelson Blue, on Thursday, May 11, from 7:30-9:30pm. This comes along with the surprise news that Pauli and Jaimie, owners and proprietors, are selling up and moving out of the city, so this will be a sad farewell of sorts. Rumour has it that the bar will keep its Kiwi heritage though, so it could be an opportunity to get to know the new owner as well.
The bar's official farewell party will be held on Thursday, May 4, starting at 6pm.
As you all should know, Nelson Blue is located at the corner of Front Street and Peck Slip in South Street Seaport, not far from the Fulton Street 2/3 subway station.
Kiwi Club drinks nights are held from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm on the second Thursday of every month. Venues vary around the city: if you have a suggestion for a venue, send it to email@example.com
Everyone is welcome, so bring your friends: newcomers to New York and to the Kiwi Club are especially welcome. If you can't find the Kiwis, ask the bar staff to point us out. And let us know if you'd like us to keep an eye out for you.

Crammed with apples, subtly fragrant with thyme and blanketed with a cheddar crumble this gluten-free Apple Cheddar Thyme Crumble Cake is the perfect comforting Autumnal cake.
It would be remiss of me not to explain the absence of a blog post last week. If you follow me on Instagram then you'll know, since I have spoken about it in my last few posts, that my father passed away very suddenly last weekend. I have written before that my father and I had a difficult relationship at times and with that comes an absurd arrange of emotions about his death. Childhood stuff that I have long since moved past now disturb my sleep anew. However I try to take comfort that in the last few years we had reached a more comfortable place. We would speak every few weeks and connect on our love of food and kitchen adventures and I would give him the latest on the children. A photograph that I took of Dad, Cole and Beau on our last visit was such a treasure to him and I just feel incredibly sad that he won't get to see them grow up.
Cake always goes hand in hand for me with any significant life event. Luke took Cole and Beau out for a couple of hours to soft play the day after he died so I could have some peace with my thoughts and freedom to cry. I stepped straight into the kitchen and grabbed the flour, sugar and butter to seek solace. I feel guilty that this cake will be mired in the melancholy that surrounds this post but it's almost fitting as a slice of this cake is a huge comfort.
The sour cream sponge is densely crammed with apples and fragrant with thyme. A soft cheddar crumble blankets the surface to add a delicious mature nuttiness. I have chosen the earthy flavour of sorghum flour to compliment the cake, sweet rice flour to bind and give texture and potato flour to add fluffiness which works because of its hydroscopic nature.
I have had this cake on the cake stall many times and I am often asked what gave me inspiration for this slightly unusual combination. I have always loved apple pie with a cheese pastry crust, the smooth balance of a fine crumbly cheddar and sweet crisp autumn apples is never a taste I tire of. And cheese cake is a thing right?
Dad didn't have a sweet tooth, he preferred the cheese board after a meal. I think this Apple Cheddar and Thyme Crumble Cake then is a fitting tribute.
- 13″ x 9″ Baking Tin

I urge you to give this Apple Cheddar and Thyme Crumble Cake a try and if you do then please leave a comment below and give the recipe a rating which helps others find the recipe on Google. If you then go on to use this recipe as a launch pad for your own baking creation then I'd also love it if you'd share it and tag me on Instagram. It is so lovely for me to see your versions and variations of my recipes.
Apple Cheddar Thyme Crumble Cake {gluten-free}
For the cheddar crumble top:
- 140 g caster sugar
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 80 g sweet rice flour
- 70 g sorghum flour
- 20 g potato flour
- 100 g cheddar grated
For the cake:
- 215 g sweet rice flour
- 200 g sorghum flour
- 40 g potato flour
- 3 teaspoons thyme leaves
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 340 g unsalted butter
- 340 g caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 300 g sour cream
- 4 granny smiths peeled, cored and cubed
For the glaze:
- 140 g icing sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk
- Pre-heat oven to 170°C/160°C (fan oven)/gas mark 4 and line and grease a 9x13" rectangular cake tin.
- First make the crumble topping by rubbing together all the ingredients except the cheddar. Then stir in the cheddar cheese. Spread out onto a baking sheet and place in the freezer whilst you prepare the rest of the cake.
- In a large bowl sift the flours together with the baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, thyme leaves and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a food mixer for 10 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, beating in one by one then add the vanilla extract.
- Spoon in 1/3 of the flour mix, beat into the batter then add 1/2 of the sour cream and beat in. Repeat again and then add the last 1/3 of flour mix, beating until the batter is smooth.
- Pour half of the cake mixture into the cake tin, then tumble in half of the chopped apples. Pour the rest of the cake mixture over, smooth and then scatter the rest of the apples over the top.
- Finally sprinkle over the crumble topping so all the apples are covered.
- Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, check after 25 minutes and if you think the cheese is browning too much then place a loose sheet of tin foil over the top of the cake tin for the rest of the bake.
- Remove the cake from the oven, leave to rest for 5 minutes then carefully remove from the tin.
- Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack until you decorate with the glaze.
- To make the glaze mixing the icing sugar with the milk until thick but pourable. Drizzle over the cake and then leave to set for at least an hour before cutting into squares.

Jeremiah witnessed the devastating consequences of life without God. Sadly, the relativism Jeremiah saw in ancient Israel predominates in America today.

Better than anyone else, Jeremiah exemplifies through his courage, passion, even his sufferings, how believers can live for God in a society that has turned against Him.
The 8 messages of Jeremiah, Volume 3: The Weeping Prophet include:
• "This is Not Your Life"
• "Broken Covenant"
• "How Can You Compete With Horses?"
• "Paradise Regained"
• "Corruption Optima Pessima
• "For God's Sake, Do Something!"

How to Remove Firefox Applications
When your Firefox is acting erratically, one troubleshooting method that Mozilla recommends is disabling the browser's add-ons, or additional applications. If you find upon disabling an add-on that it was the cause of the Firefox misbehavior or if you no longer have need for the specific add-on, you can remove that add-on from Firefox. The method to delete an add-on is similar to disabling it; however, the method to remove an add-on differs depending on the type of add-on you are removing. After you delete an add-on, it is permanently deleted from your Firefox browser; the only way to re-enable that add-on is to download it again.
Click the "Firefox" button in the top left corner of the browser and click "Add-ons" from the menu.
Click either "Extensions" or "Appearance" from the panel on the left side of the screen.
Click the add-on you want to delete and click "Remove."
Restart Firefox by clicking either "Restart Now" or manually closing and reopening the browser to complete the removal.
- Information in this article applies to Firefox version 20.0.1 and may differ in other versions of the software.
- If you want to remove a plugin, consult that plugin's documentation; many plugins include their own uninstallation procedures.
- If you want to disable an add-on rather than remove it, click "Disable" instead of "Remove" in the Extensions, Appearance or Plugins window.

Regular logbook services are mandatory if you plan to keep your new vehicle's manufacturer's warranty valid. This warranty covers you in the case of myriad mechanical failures and can save you a substantial amount of money. A well kept logbook will also increase the resale value of your vehicle, as potential buyers will be more eager to purchase a properly maintained vehicle. Frequent servicing also helps to prevent more costly mechanical failures, and can catch small problems before they snowball into something serious.
Here at Coolum Motors whenever you book a logbook service with us we will also provide you with a Coolum Motor safety check for free! We can provide logbook services for:

Before you sell, or otherwise transfer ownership of a vehicle, you are legally required to make sure it qualifies for a Safety Certificate by taking it to a certified tester. The safety certificate denotes that your vehicle meets the minimum legal safety requirements to be driven on Queensland's roads.
Because the safety certificate only tests to see if your vehicle meets the bare minimum requirements, many other mechanical problems can still be present and won't prevent a vehicle from qualifying. For this reason we heartily recommend taking the time to get a pre-purchase inspection before you purchase a vehicle, that way you will know exactly what you are buying and can make an informed decision.
At Coolum Motors we can perform both safety certificate and pre-purchase inspections.
If you're thinking about buying or selling a vehicle, get in touch today!

Summer in Australia can be unbearable if your air conditioning isn't working. In addition to keeping your cabin cool, your aircon is responsible for defogging your windscreen during the winter months. Uniquely, your air conditioning can be damaged as much by disuse as by use.

Rated 4 out of 5 by brandyh724b from This was a good pigment, my only complaint is that it creased a little. I would always use a good primer with this but if I ever put it above my lid it would crease. It has great color payoff and is super shiney though! The perfect kind of shimmer to top off a Smokey eye!

The decision to purchase your very own home, is one of the largest investments you will ever make. It makes sense then, that you would want to do everything you can to make sure your investment maintains its value. This article will provide you with some tips and advice on home improvement and what you can do to keep your property looking its absolute best.
Find the home that is the right size and has the features that your family needs to live a happy and comfortable life. There are many features that will make living in the home more comfortable depending on the lifestyle and tasks that a person has in their life. Finding the one that meets your personal needs will keep you happy with your home longer.
If you don't have enough space for a small office, you can use a small portion of your living room for that purpose. Buy a small privacy screen and place a desk behind it with a matching chair. You can purchase small shelves to install on your wall to store your pens, pencils, staplers and other important items.
Any home improvement project will be hard work. Take the time to write out all the things you need to do. You may also want to get an additional opinion to ensure you didn't miss anything during your assessment. You can reduce costs if you start a project with full knowledge of its scope.
If you are low on cash, but need to remodel your kitchen cabinetry, a great way to save money is by ditching cabinets altogether. Set up some nice shelving on the wall with canisters to store your items and use baskets to store larger groceries you may need. This creates a really neat shabby chic look that looks great in old colonial homes.
An important tip to remember with real estate is that when you are making improvements to your house, you should not date it with fashions that are on their way out. This is important because while something may look nice for the time being you should always be forward thinking, especially if you do plan on selling your house.
If you have the money then you should try and add a master suite to your home. While having a nice large bedroom is great it will tremendously help during resale if the bedroom area includes a bathroom and/or a sitting area. The majority of buyers tend to lean toward homes that have master suites.
Face it – not everyone needs ten cabinets for their dishes. If your small kitchen is in need of some extra space, consider removing the top row of cabinets. This frees up the wall space for artwork or decorative wall covering and gives you more room to be creative with your cooking surfaces.
Your home is one of the most valuable resources that you have. It is important to take the time to research and perform updates on your property to maintain its value. Following the advice provided in this article can save you from a lot of frustration, as well as, costly mistakes.

1 in 3 U.S Millionaires Foreign-Born or First-Gen Americans
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Advisors might want to consider brushing up on their foreign language skills if they want to pursue the highly prized millionaire market. One out of three wealthy Americans were either born outside of the United States or are first-generation Americans with at least one parent born elsewhere, according to a new report from BMO Private Bank.
The overwhelming majority of the wealthy "new Americans" (80%) are self-made millionaires, earning their wealth mostly on their own. Among longer-established Americans of means, only 67% report being self-made.
Washington and Florida were among the states with a strong concentration of "new American" millionaires. In Washington, almost a quarter of the state's wealthy either immigrated to the United States or had at least one parent born outside of the country. In Florida, 20% were born outside of the United States.
Apart from working hard, the survey found that Americans with more than $1 million in investable assets were highly educated, with 54% possessing a graduate or professional degree. A small minority (8%) held only a high school diploma or less.
More than one in three American millionaires were women. One in four were under the age of 40, according to the report.
The report looked at individual states and compared them to the national average. Here is a sampling of some of the more noteworthy findings:
- Arizona: Arizona millionaires tend to be older than most American millionaires, with 75% older than 65. Only 9% are younger than 50, compared with 32% nationally.
- California:California millionaires skew younger than the national average. More than one in four (27%) are under 40 and almost 40% are under 50. Nationally, 24% are under 40 and 32% are under 50.
- Florida: Florida's millionaires are more educated than typical millionaires. More than nine in 10 (93%) hold at least a university degree and two-thirds report earning a graduate or professional degree. Nationally, only 54% of millionaires possess a graduate or professional degree.
- Indiana: Indiana has a higher percentage of millionaires who earned their wealth mostly on their own. Seven in 10 are self-made, slightly above the national average of 67%.
- Washington:Washington millionaires skew older than the national average. More than nine in 10 (94%) are over 50 with less than 1% under 40. Nationally, 68% are over 50 and 25% are under 40.
The report is based on an online survey that polled 482 American adults with $1 million or more in investable assets. The survey was conducted from March 28, 2013 to April 11, 2013.

Texas pastor Joel Osteen is getting his own channel on SiriusXM satellite radio, which will air his sermon at Yankee Stadium this Saturday live nationally.
Osteen, who preaches to 40,000 people each week at Houston's Lakewood megachurch, already shows his messages on the Trinity religious TV network and other television stations across the country. The new SiriusXM channel will feature live call-in shows hosted by Osteen and his wife, fellow Lakewood pastor Victoria Osteen, along with rebroadcasts of Osteen's past sermons.
"It's another way to get our message out," Osteen said.
He said SiriusXM approached him about five years ago with the idea but the time wasn't right.
"Five years ago we were still growing," said Osteen, who studied television and radio at Oral Roberts University. "I didn't think we could put the time and energy into it that we can now. We're much more established and have a bigger library. It feels really right now."
He said he's considering Tuesday mornings as the best time for his call-in show. SiriusXM, which has 25.8 million subscribers worldwide, said Monday it will announce later when Osteen's new channel will begin operation. Saturday's broadcast of "America's Night of Hope" at Yankee Stadium won't be shown on television until later.
Scott Greenstein, president of SiriusXM, said people who aren't inclined to watch one of Osteen's television broadcasts may like the opportunity to check him out on their car radio. He said he was attracted to Osteen because he's a charismatic figure with a wide following and a back catalog of material for programming.
"In the media business you tend to be New York- and L.A.-centric a little too much of the time, and there are a lot of things that are very important in the middle of the country," he said.
Osteen took over his father's ministry after his death and has built it to the point where Lakewood bought and renovated an arena that once housed the NBA's Houston Rockets to hold its services.
Earlier this year, thieves broke into the Houston church and stole $600,000. In a statement the Lakewood Church said the money and checks taken, as well as some envelopes with written credit card information, were limited to funds given during this past weekend's Saturday and Sunday services. "We are working with the police to fully investigate the incident," the statement reads. "The funds were fully insured, and we are working with our insurance company to restore the stolen funds to the church."
In 2003, Osteen told The Christian Science Monitor that the appeal of his nondenominational church lies in its message of uplift. "I think it's because our services have a celebratory feel to them," he says, sitting on a coffee table in his makeshift office near the locker rooms. "People feel lifted up by our message of hope, of life and victory. They don't feel like they are constantly being beaten down."

Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has indicated implementing aggressive policies against Iran and has reportedly started making strong preparations in the direction. The increase in the defence cooperation with the leading countries of the world and the exercise started on Sunday seems to be a part of the same policy. The Saudi military Spokesman had warned only last week that Saudi will retaliate against Iran at the right time and the right place.
A massive military exercise has started in Saudi on Sunday. Along with the Arab allies of Saudi, countries like the United States, Pakistan and Egypt have also participated in the exercise named 'Joint Gulf Shield'. The exercise includes units from army, navy, air force and the 'Special Forces'. The exercise started on Sunday, is said to be the second stage of the 'Joint Gulf Shield'.
Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is on his visit to the United States and it is said that important discussion on Iran had taken place during the tour. US President Donald Trump who has consistently taken an anti-Iran stance has assured Saudi Arabia of full co-operation in the matter.
Only last week, the Houthi rebels in Yemen fired seven missiles on four towns in Saudi, including Riyadh. The attack killed one person and also caused property damage. Saudi Arabia had accused Iran of supplying these missiles which are capable of hitting the Saudi capital directly from Yemen border. Similarly, Saudi and its allies in the Middle East are accusing Iran for the instability and the terrorist activities in the Middle East countries. Against this background, this exercise started by Saudi along with its allies is claimed to be a show of strength against Iran.

'Girls ride scooters'
Champion motorbike racer Peggy Hyde recalls the late 1960's and early 1970's when women weren't even supposed to race motorbikes, let alone win.
- Print page

- Permalink
If you're a motorcycle racing enthusiast you may remember the name Peggy Hyde.
Peggy was a competitive racer in the late sixties and early seventies, a time when only men raced motorbikes.
She was also the first woman in the world to be granted an unrestricted racing licence, but the acquisition of that licence came with a fight.
Despite good performances in her early races she was issued with a 250cc restricted licence after she revealed she was a woman.
"And this is something that would normally be done as a penalty, or for a junior..." explains Ms Hyde.
"And so I actually bypassed the Victorian committee and went to the national committee... and I got back an apology and an open licence and I had no idea at the time that this was a worldwide first".
Ms Hyde encountered all manner of discrimination during the nine years she was racing.
Newspaper articles from the time printed her bust, waist and hip measurements, and comments like "She is a natural rider, braking, cornering and handling her machine like man" were common.
Ms Hyde describes some of the journalists at the time as "quite "irritating" with their sexist questions.
"It was just because of the cultural background somehow women were supposed to be incompetent at driving and so on..."
Ms Hyde says she had a natural talent for racing and was particularly lethal through corners, likening chasing down other riders on the track to "hunting".
"For road racing in particular you don't need to have brute strength when it comes to judgement and understanding what's happening, it's silly to think that women would be less competent.."
Despite her success on the track Ms Hyde says after a time she started to question what the sport was about.
"Because it was promoting a lot of noise and fuel and after a while I started to have wider concerns about it because of the environmental issues".
"And maybe I was just getting older and more sensible".
Ms Hyde still has a motorbike licence but seldom rides these days.

Under the oh so august leadership of Attorney General Eric Holder, the Obama administration has been doing their very best to thwart various states in their individual endeavors to implement voter ID laws. In this latest iteration of that ongoing battle, the Federal Election Assistance Commission has so far refused to help state officials in Kansas and Arizona change federal election registration forms to include proof of citizenship. Both states have new voter-ID measures measures that require new voters to provide a birth certificate, passport, or other documentation to prove their citizenship, while the federal registration form only requires that new voters sign a statement declaring that they are citizens. On Wednesday, a federal judge basically told the Obama administration to stop deliberately getting in the states' way on this one, via the LA Times:
A federal judge has ruled that Kansas and Arizona should be allowed to require voters to provide evidence of U.S. citizenship, in a case closely watched by both sides dealing with the question of voter eligibility.
U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren in Wichita, Kan., ruled that the U.S. Election Assistance Commission had no legal authority to deny requests from the two states to add the citizenship requirement. In the ruling, released Wednesday, he ordered the commission to revise the national form immediately. …
"This is a huge victory for the states of Kansas and Arizona," Kobach said in a prepared statement emailed to reporters. "They have successfully protected our sovereign right to set and enforce the qualifications for registering to vote. We have now paved the way for all 50 states to protect their voter rolls and ensure that only U.S. citizens can vote."
"Today's decision is an important victory for the people of Arizona against the Obama administration, assuring that only Arizona residents and not illegals vote in Arizona elections," Arizona Atty. Gen. Tom Horne said in a statement.
"Only Arizona residents and not illegals"? Well, that of course is just ridiculous, because as we know perfectly well by now — we know, because progressives continuously tell us so — voter fraud is absolutely not a real thing. Voter-ID laws are just vacuous excuses made up by Republicans in order to maliciously disenfranchise minority voters. "Proof of citizenship" requirement? Ha! I mean, can you say "racist dog whistle"? …Via Guy Benson:

As a result of an intense community process of mapping and dialogue, the Ogiek of Mount Elgon, Kenya, have written down their customary bylaws for the first time, in order to ensure the continued conservation of their ancestral lands and natural resources.
As one Ogiek community member explains:
"We have never conserved. It is the way we live that conserves. These customary bylaws we have had forever, but we have not written them down until now."
This short video explains more about these bylaws and gives the Ogiek's views of development and conservation.

Water is crucial to your survival outdoors and bringing reusable water storage is the best way to be prepared. Outdoria features a large range of camping bottles, bladders and filtration systems to keep you hydrated while exploring the world.
Each day, campers return home early from their dream trips for one key reason. They were too excited and forgot to pack enough water. Don't let this happen to you and browse our range of camping water storage devices for your next trip.
According to global health organisations, your body needs at least 2 litres of water per day. Outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and fishing are strenuous and require you to drink more water than normal – especially in the Australian heat. Planning your water usage before leaving will ensure you bring the right amount for your trip.
For shorter trips, reusable camping water bottles will provide you with more than enough hydration for your adventure. Bringing multiple drink bottles also means you won't run out if you continue to explore beyond what you originally planned.
Camping water bladders and tanks are collapsible, high capacity storage devices able to hold anywhere between two and 200 litres of water, great for extended stays in the wilderness. Or as a backup supply at your campsite.
Camping water filtration bottles allow you to refill at freshwater sources, such as lakes and rivers without the worry of drinking contaminated water. The internal filters remove bacteria, waterborne viruses and organic contaminants, leaving you with fresh, clean water.
The thermos is a crucial piece of equipment for any early riser and mobile traveller. They keep your coffee hot on cold mornings and your Milo cold on summer days.
For more information about your next camping water storage solution, check out our review of a few different types of reusable water bottles.

Moratorium NOW!
The Moratorium NOW! Coalition is a coalition of grassroots activists and organizations, union and religious leaders, farmers, politicians, and concerned citizens from across Michigan that formed in the spring of 2008 to fight for the passage of Senate Bill 1306, now numbered SB 29, "which would stop all mortgage foreclosures and evictions for two years. Some of our most committed activists have themselves been foreclosed and evicted from their homes and farms."[1]
Moratorium NOW! is affiliated with the Bail Out the People Movement and is controlled by the Workers World Party. The organization's office is located at the Central United Methodist Church and holds meetings there.[2][3]
Writing in Workers World on Jan. 14, 2008, Kris Hamel discussed the origins of Moratorium NOW!,[4]
- "More than 400,000 jobs have been lost in the state since 2001. Now, that economic crisis has extended nationwide... According to a report issued on June 5 by the Mortgage Bankers Association, approximately one of every 11 mortgages in the U.S. was past due or in foreclosure at the end of March... Falling home values have left many homeowners with mortgages in excess of the value of their homes...
- The Moratorium NOW! Coalition to Stop Foreclosures and Evictions is organizing around the state to win passage of SB 1306, a two-year moratorium introduced into the Michigan Legislature by state Sen. Hansen Clarke. In 2007, activists with the Michigan Emergency Committee Against War and Injustice began to popularize the idea of a foreclosure moratorium based on the emergency powers invested in the governor by the state constitution during times of disaster. Demonstrations were held at the state capitol in Lansing demanding that Gov. Jennifer Granholm declare a state of economic emergency and impose a moratorium to stop foreclosures and evictions."

May 2008 Meeting
On May 17, 2008, Moratorium NOW! held a multinational meeting at the Central United Methodist Church in downtown Detroit. Excerpts from Workers World Party member Bryan Pfeifer's report on the meeting posted at Emerging Minds are below.[12]
- Rep. John Conyers stressed the seriousness of the moratorium struggle, saying it's a crime for poor and working people to be foreclosed on and evicted, or have their water and lights cut off due to inability to pay. "We have to nationalize this moratorium movement. This is a global situation," he said.
- Bruce Feaster of Sen. Clarke's office told coalition participants that "you are the lobbyists" for this bill. He described how the banks pay millions to their lobbyists to get what they want, but that there are more poor and working people than bankers.
Also speaking at the meeting were Diane Campbell, an African-American Detroit resident; Debbie Johnson of the Moratorium NOW Coalition; Caleb Maupin, the moratorium coalition's intern; Pastor Golliday, Benton Harbor who endorsed the moratorium bill, and is using his church as an organizing center in Western Michigan; and David Sole, an organizer with the Moratorium NOW! Coalition and president of United Auto Workers Local 2334.
Sept. 2008 Protest at Michigan Capitol
On Sept. 17, 2008, the Moratorium NOW! Coalition to Stop Foreclosures and Evictions sponsored a rally at the Michigan State Capitol, demanding the State Legislature enact SB 1306, a two-year foreclosure moratorium bill. Bryan Pfeifer of Lansing, Michigan, writing at the International Action Center - Boston's website wrote a summary of the day's events,[3]
- "...Dozens of UNITE HERE union members came from Detroit on a bus sponsored by the Change to Win labor federation. Other unionists included United Auto Workers, Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of Teachers.
- The Green Party of Michigan, Detroit Greens and the Cynthia McKinney presidential campaign were represented, as were Students for a Democratic Society, National Lawyers Guild, Workers World Party, Food Not Bombs, the independent newspaper collective Critical Moment, Michigan Emergency Committee Against War & Injustice, Michigan Welfare Rights, Call 'Em Out, Latinos Unidos of Michigan, Grand Rapids Latino Community Coalition, Joint Religious Organizing Network for Action and Hope, and the Adrian Dominican Sisters & Associates for Peace.
- After leaving buses, vans and carpools, protesters began marching in a huge picket line. Sandra Hines and Abayomi Azikiwe of the Moratorium NOW! Coalition led chants of "We the people demand relief–Moratorium NOW!" and "A home is a right–We're gonna fight, fight, fight!"... Azikiwe ...and co-chair Kris Hamel kicked off the rally on the Capitol steps...
- Reverend Ed Rowe of Central United Methodist Church in Detroit, one of the coalition's initiators, said, "We're fired up and ready to go. No more bailouts to the rich." Rowe said all faith-based organizations should be supporting SB 1306. He pledged ongoing support to the coalition, whose office is in his church. Rowe worked with state Senator Hansen Clarke in drafting and sponsoring SB 1306...
- State Representatives Gabe Leland, Shanelle Jackson, Bettie Cook Scott and Steve Tobocman also addressed the crowd, as did state Sen. Martha G. Scott. Speaking from her wheelchair, Rubie Curl-Pinkins declared, "I don't want anyone else to lose their home. Keep on fighting!"... Nikki Curl, Pinkins' daughter, said, "When we come together as one, we can make a difference." Sandra Hines, whose family home of 40 years was seized by the bank, said, "This is a national fight. We're going to force elected officials to move. We have to win this moratorium."
- Jerry Goldberg, people's attorney and coalition leader, said, "We can't wait one more day for a moratorium. We need an executive order from Governor Granholm..." Juan Daniel Castro of the Grand Rapids Latino Community Coalition connected the struggles of poor and working people in the United States to those in Latin America...
- Linette Crosby from rural St. Johns told how her family's 140-acre mint farm, which has been in existence since 1912, is now in foreclosure... Larry Holmes of New York City, a leader of the Troops Out Now Coalition and the Ad Hoc National Network to Stop Foreclosures and Evictions, told the crowd: "When the rich want something, nothing is ever enough..."
- Robert Pratt of UNITE HERE... with dozens of union members in red shirts behind him on the steps of the Capitol, pledged to organize to help make the moratorium a reality. Rosendo Delgado of Latinos Unidos of Michigan stated: "If we can get a moratorium passed in Michigan, it will spread like wildfire. Therefore we must fight to make this bill a reality.""
People's Summit
From June 14-17 2009, the Moratorium NOW!-initiated People's Summit was held at Grand Circus Park, Detroit. A "tent city" was built at the location, and protesters camped there for four days of "Active Resistance, Political Discussion and Strategizing for a "People's Stimulus Plans" and an "Economic Bill of Rights" for Working People and the Poor." The summit was in response to the June 15-17, 2009 National Business Summit, sponsored by the Detroit Economic Club which took place at the Renaissance Center, General Motors Corporate Headquarters.[13]
Their website claims,
- "These wealthy businesspeople will put their greedy heads together to discuss "innovation and policy ideas in technology, energy, environment and manufacturing." In other words, they will be strategizing on how to further increase their profits at the expense of the ever-shrinking middle class, the vast working class and the growing millions living in utter poverty.
- The People's Summit will be a dynamic event. During the People's Summit, organizers will implement a moratorium on foreclosure evictions by going into the neighborhoods and supporting homeowners who are willing to confront the bailiffs. If there is a strike, demonstration or sit in, the People's Summit will join it. The People's Summit will confront the big-business CEOs and politicians gathering next door."

Fluker award
In February 2010, Attorney Vanessa Fluker, a leader of the Moratorium NOW! Coalition to Stop Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility Shutoffs, was honored at a brunch held Feb. 20 at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. The Black Women Lawyers Association of Michigan presented Fluker with its prestigious Harriet Tubman Award for her legal services on behalf of children victimized by lead poisoning as well as her work representing homeowners fighting foreclosures and predatory lending. Coalition members and several of Fluker's clients were among the hundreds who attended the BWLAM program.
"For every home we are able to save there are a thousand families who are put out on the street. If you think this doesn't affect you, think again. Have your home appraised and see what it's worth," said Fluker. "The federal government is paying the banks to toss people out of their homes. Everyone must take up the fight for justice against the banks and lenders who continue to get billions in our tax dollars."
Fluker was also presented with citations from several dignitaries, including U.S. Rep. John Conyers, Jr..[17]

The sequel to smash hit zombie action movie World War Z now has a director assigned to it: Juan Antonio Bayona, whose drama The Impossible told the story of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
World War Z was beset with problems during its production, involving rewrites and the whole 40-minute third act being reshot, but the struggle proved worth it as the film made $540m worldwide earlier this year. Its success has cleared the pathway for a sequel, as Hollywood looks ever more towards franchises as stable revenue generators.
Bayona too has found success, with the critically acclaimed The Impossible grossing $180m and earning Naomi Watts an Academy Award nomination. His previous film, well-received horror curio The Orphanage, showed he can handle World War Z-style shocks.
But the sequel may not be made with the studio that housed the original, after Paramount's relationship with Brad Pitt's production company Plan B is coming to an end after eight years. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Pitt is instead teaming up with New Regency, the company from Israeli producer Arnon Milchan (who, he recently revealed, spied on the US on behalf of the Israeli government). RatPac, the cutely-named company formed by Brett Ratner and James Packer, will help with financing.
"There are very few partners in this business who are able to balance artistic integrity with commercial viability. Working hand in hand with New Regency and RatPac, we feel we have found the perfect fit," Plan B said in a statement.
As well as World War Z, Plan B has also produced 12 Years A Slave, the much-lauded slave drama released in the UK on January 10. The film marked the start of the new relationship with New Regency, who co-financed and distributed it, to the chagrin of Paramount who believed they had the rights to do so. But the Hollywood Reporter states that Paramount and Plan B will still partner on projects that are already in development.

During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to participate in our Impact Sector survey, access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Amity Cares seeks to provide safe, affordable housing for low income families in the New Haven area by partnering with Habitat for Humanity. We believe that a group of neighbors, friends and students can join as a group to alleviate poverty housing and as a result transform neighborhoods in blighted areas of urban New Haven; one house, one neighborhood at a time.
Amity Cares is a volunteer group that works with Habitat for Humanity. Volunteers are from Bethany, Orange, Woodbridge and Westville and come from churches and synagogues, civic groups, schools and unaffiliated individuals. Our goals are to provide the fundraising and volunteer construction support for a family identified by New Haven Habitat for Humanity. Our group is responsible for raising $65,000 per home. We have built two homes as a group already, and are just now starting on the fundraising for our third home. Once we have raised $25,000, we begin work on the home and work alongside the family selected by the New Haven Habitat office. It is wonderful to get to know the family who will realize the dream of homeownership. There are many types of opportunities if you join this diverse group of volunteers. We need of course, construction help once work on the house begins, but also need help with fundraising, PR, computer/web site, outreach, to name only a few. We meet every third Thursday evening at 6:30 at Scoop This at 180 Amity Rd in Woodbridge. Our web site has more info--www.amitycares.org. Check us out, we are friendly, fun group.

It's difficult enough to deal with the emotional pain of watching a loved one's health deteriorate into the final days of life. But that pain gets deeper for some who, because of current guardianship laws, are unable to be at the bedside of a dying beloved family member.
On the next Northwest Now, we take a closer look at state efforts to change guardianship and visitation laws. Host Tom Layson will talk with Keri Kasem, whose stepmother kept her from visiting Keri's dying father, radio legend Casey Kasem, as the disc jockey rested at a Gig Harbor home during the final days of his life.
Kasem told host Layson,"You can have a court-appointed guardian or care taker … sign everything over to them, including knocking you out of visitation completely…Get your POA (power of attorney), if you cannot afford to get your will and estate plans together," she said.
Plus, we'll hear from lawmakers who are trying to make it so this doesn't happen anymore to family members who want visitation rights to be at the bedside of dying loved ones.

Donald Byrd: Donald Byrd: Electric Byrd
The second track, "Essence," begins with some African-sounding stringed instrument plucking out an intricate tribal rhythm. Wally Richardson's wah-pedaled guitar growls underneath with heavy restraint. Funky sounds flow forth from the rhythm section, comprised of pianist Duke Pearson, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Mickey Roker. Roker's inventive and energetic playing is a classic example of why a band is only as good as its drummer. Saxophonist Frank Foster, a veteran of the Count Basie Band, explores the wondrous possibilities of the echo-effect, playing a mean sounding tenor that reverberates between your ears long after he's stopped. Brazilian percussion master, Airto Moreira, takes the music up another notch with his exotic rhythms. Airto also contributes a memorable original, "Xibaba," a Brazilian spiced, acid-laced groove that opens with Byrd's distorted trumpet echoing out Middle-Eastern sounding riffs that could be blasted from the minarets beckoning the faithful to pray. After a somewhat ponderous opening, "Xibaba" heats-up with complex arrangements, cosmic sound effects, and swirling rhythms.
"The Dude" closes the record with one of the heaviest grooves ever set down by any jazz artistan absolute classic that deserves space on any funky mix you might want to make for your friends. And with a name like "The Dude," how could it be anything other than bad-assed? Move over Lebowski. An album often lumped in with Donald Byrd's more artistically barren work of the 1970s, Electric Byrd is a misunderstood masterpiece that should be investigated.

Estavinico (11:00); Essence (10:30); Xibaba (13:35); The Dude (8:00).

From left to right: Chiang Ching-kuo (son of Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Kun), Chiang Kai-shek (Zhang Guoli) and General Chen Cheng (Li Qiang). [sina]
Veteran actor Zhang Guoli goes on extreme diet to better fit into his new role in "Jian Guo Da Ye," a big budget TV sitcom celebrating the upcoming 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
The television-film begins at the end of World War II and is based on real events that took place during the years leading up to the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. It focuses on the birth of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's top political advisory body.
Zhang Guoli, a renowned actor famous for a series of ancient emperor roles, plays the Kuomintang (KMT) leader Chiang Kai-shek. Zhang is reported to have begun reducing his food intake and eating only one meal each day, to better resemble this historical figure.
A glimpse of the TV sitcom "Jian Guo Da Ye" that begins shooting. [sina]
Media sources say, the result is obvious and the actor has lost 5.5 kg in half a month.
Sina.com reports, Zhang first refused to play the role for the big difference between his image and Chiang Kai-shek.
Despite Zhang's wavering confidence at the beginning, his friends believe that he can do it. Vivian Wu Junmei, a Chinese actress who became internationally known for her role in the Oscar-wining film "The Last Emperor," said Zhang Guoli not only resembles Chiang in appearance but also in spirit.
"I think what really makes Zhang Guoli successful, is not his look but the resemblance in spirit. The way he deals with some details in his acting is very captivating." Vivian Wu added she could not think of anyone else who could do the role better.
Vivian Wu, also the star of "The Soong Sisters," will play a much more mature Madame Chiang Kai-shek (Mayling Soong) during the period of 1945-1949.
Playing this role for a second time 14 years later, the actress thinks she may have some predestined affinity with the great woman.
