Here is an overview of my status with several loyalty programs that I have reached with this year's end. Well, I haven't earned each status the hard way by flying or staying enough. Sometimes it's simply a credit card benefit. Anyway, here it goes.
Delta SkyMiles
Flew 27,152 miles and 10 segments. With 2,611 MQMs rolled over from 2011 I am at 29,763 MQMs right now and thus requalified for Silver Medallion. I also earned a total of 53,565 redeemable miles (from flying, dining, points transfers, car rentals, …) so my balance grew from 284,964 to 338,529 miles. My current Million Miler balance is 188,532 Million Miler Miles. Well, I have quite a distance to go yet to reach my first million. At current speed a little more than 30 years. Now that I have booked an award flight to New York in BE next summer my SkyMiles balance dropped to 138,529 (booked for Karin and I).
Hilton HHonors
After being complimentary Gold VIP this year thanks to hints given by several BoardingArea bloggers I have earned Silver VIP status for 2013. This year I had 5 stays, 5 nights, and earned 5,142 base points. My current point total is 73,400 HHonors points which is 28,286 points up from 45,114 points I had a year ago. Thanks to my status as a Gold VIP I was able to rack up 18,286 with only five nights, another 3,000 points came from a transfer of American Express Membership Rewards points, and, finally, 7,000 points came from a transfer of 8,000 Opinion Points from e-rewards.
Starwood Preferred Guest
My current and future status is Gold due to the fact that I carry an American Express Platinum Card. This year I had a total of 4 stays and 5 nights at Starwood hotels, though one one-night stay was with compliments of American Express, when I stayed at the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa for free. That was absolutely cool, our first and only time so far that we experienced a Presidential Suite at any property. Well, that makes 3 paid stays with 4 nights.
I started the year with 7,587 points and will end it with 13,014 points. That's 5,427 points earned. They come from staying with gold bonuses, a few promotions, points transfers from American Express, Audience Rewards points, a survey I took for 1,000 points, and a few other things.
Choice Privileges
This year I had 9 stays with 10 nights and earned 26,677 points thanks to those 8,000 points promotions last spring and fall. I started with 245 points into this year and now I have 1,922 points after redeeming 25,000 points by transferring them to my Delta SkyMiles account giving me 5,000 miles.
With those ten nights I requalified for Gold status next year which will be my second year as a gold elite. I don't know if I will requalify for gold in 2014 but it is possible. I don't really see much value in this status. The only advantage is the 10% point bonus. The other benefits are of no use for me. But it is kinda cool to be golden 😉
Hertz #1 Club
Two vacation trips to the US resulted in two rentals with Hertz. My status is Gold though, thanks to my Amercian Express Platinum Card. I don't collect points but miles instead. This year I earned 5,300 SkyMiles with my two rentals of twelve days each. Those 24 days give 4,800 miles since I am a Medallion plus a bonus of 500 miles for my last rental.
The other hotel loyalty programs I participate in are the Redicard program by Red Roof Inn and Wyndham Rewards, but there is no such thing as elite tiers with those programs.

BREAKING NEWS: Mychal Bell Is Out Of Jail
Mychal Bell of 'Jena 6' released; bail being posted
Mychal Bell, a black teenager accused of beating a white classmate and who was the last of the "Jena 6" behind bars, was released from custody Thursday after a juvenile court judge set his bail at $45,000.
Bell's release followed an announcement from LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters, who said he would not appeal a higher court's decision moving Bell's case to juvenile court.
Wearing a blue striped golf shirt and jeans, Bell walked out of the LaSalle Parish courthouse a week after an estimated 15,000-plus demonstrators marched through Jena -- a town of about 3,000 -- to protest local authorities' handling of the teens' case.
"We do not condone violence of any kind, but we ask that people be given a fair and even chance at the bar of justice," the Rev. Al Sharpton said outside the courthouse.
"Tonight, Mychal can go home, but Mychal is not out of the juvenile process. He goes home because a lot of people left their home and stood up for him," he said.
"Let America know -- we are not fighting for the right to fight in school. We're not fighting for the right for kids to beat each other. We're fighting to say that there must be one level of justice for everybody. And you cannot have adult attempted murder for some, and a fine for others, and call that equal protection under the law. Two wrongs don't make one civil right."
Demonstrators at last week's march were protesting how authorities handled the cases of Bell and five other teens accused of beating fellow student Justin Barker.
Many said they were angry that the students, dubbed the Jena 6, were being treated more harshly than three white students who hung nooses from an oak tree on Jena High School property.
The white students were suspended from school but did not face criminal charges. The protesters said they should have been charged with a hate crime.
Bell's attorney Lewis Scott said the teen was moved from jail to a juvenile facility earlier Thursday.
The paperwork for Bell's bail was being worked out, Sharpton said.
Walters said his decision not to appeal was based on what he believed was best for the victim in the case.
"While I believe that a review would have merit ... I believe it is in the best interest of the victim and his family not to delay this matter any further and move it to its conclusion," Walters told reporters.
He said last week's march, which included Sharpton and Martin Luther King III, did not influence his decision.
Bell, now 17, was the only one of the Jena 6 behind bars. His bond previously was set at $90,000.
A district judge earlier this month tossed out Bell's conviction for conspiracy to commit second-degree battery, saying the matter should have been handled in juvenile court. The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal in Lake Charles, Louisiana, did the same with Bell's battery conviction in mid-September.
Prosecutors originally charged all six black students accused of being involved in beating Barker with second-degree attempted murder and conspiracy. Walters reduced charges against at least four of them -- Bell, Robert Bailey Jr., Carwin Jones and Theo Shaw -- to battery and conspiracy.
Bryant Purvis awaits arraignment. Charges against Jesse Ray Beard, who was 14 at the time of the alleged crime, are unavailable because he's a juvenile.
Wednesday, Gov. Kathleen Blanco announced that Louisiana State Police officers will protect the families of the Jena 6 and investigate any threats they have received. A white supremacist Web site posted the names and addresses of the six black teens after last week's march, calling on followers to "let them know justice is coming."
Thursday, the FBI said it had been made aware of allegations of threats.
"Threats are taken seriously, and as these investigations are ongoing we cannot comment further," said Sheila Thorne of the FBI's office in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The December 4 attack on Barker came after months of racial tension, including at least two instances of fighting in the town, sparked originally when three white teens hung the nooses.
Walters has said there was no direct link between the hanging of the nooses and the schoolyard attack, and defended the prosecutions ahead of last Thursday's peaceful march. Blanco defended the prosecutor Wednesday, saying, "He has a solid record and is highly respected among his peers."
Walters also addressed the stress and notoriety the town has been subjected to, saying the only way he and other residents "have been able to endure the trauma that has been thrust upon us is through the prayers of the Christian people who have sent them up in this community."
He also suggested that some kind of "disaster" was averted when thousands of marchers came to Jena last week.
"I firmly believe and am confident of the fact that had it not been for the direct intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ last Thursday, a disaster would have happened," Walters said.
"The Lord Jesus Christ put his influence on those people, and they responded accordingly," he said, without explaining exactly what he meant.
Soon after the district attorney spoke, a local reverend took issue with his comments.
"Obviously, we are serving two different gods here," the Rev. Donald Sidley said. "My Bible says that we should do -- we should be loving, love your neighbor as yourself.
"For him to try and separate the community like he is and then using Christ Jesus to influence the people that Jesus is working on their side, well, that's -- that's absurd. ... God is god of the human race," said Sidley, of the New Evergreen Church.
If it hadn't been for the Governor stepping in, Mychal Bell would still be in jail tonight. I would like to personally thank Governor Blanco for stopping the prosecutor from pursuing his vindictive pursuit of "justice".
I would also like to personally thank Governor Blanco for stepping in and obtaining protection for the teenagers and their families in the wake of the KKK and neo-Nazi's terroristic threats of lynching!!
I will be sending her a message of thanks!! You can too!!

If Mychal Bell is convicted in juvenile court, I think he should be sentenced to time served. After all, he's been in an adult jail since December. That's enough punishment if you ask me!!
Labels: Governor Blanco, many thanks, Mychal Bell

EAST STROUDSBURG — Bob Black wasn't surprised when Thursday's Mountain Valley Conference boys soccer final went to penalty kicks after 110 minutes of scoreless play.
EAST STROUDSBURG — Bob Black wasn't surprised when Thursday's Mountain Valley Conference boys soccer final went to penalty kicks after 110 minutes of scoreless play.
The first-year Pocono Mountain East coach already had a top-10 list of shooters for the PK round and felt pretty good about his team's chances with goalkeeper Josh Lee in net.
"I had my top 10 in my pocket and I knew who we were going to go with and that if we went to PKs we were going to win because of Josh Lee and because of his athleticism and because he's a smart kid," said Black, who was an assistant coach at East for seven years before taking over for Tom Rowan following Rowan's retirement at the end of the 2009-10 school year.
Lee showed both those attributes during PKs.
After Matt Schenke gave second-seeded Pocono East (14-6) a 1-0 lead over No. 1 Pleasant Valley, Lee made a sprawling save to his left on Alex Mansour to give the Cardinals the early leg up.
PV keeper A.J. Werkheiser answered with a stop on Stephen Yarosh in the third round to pull the Bears even. Tied 4-4 after the first five rounds, the match went into a sudden death shootout and both teams scored on their first attempts. PV looked poised to win after Werkheiser stopped Matt Almonte, but the score remained deadlocked after a shot from Jadon Plant sailed just high.
Aadil Mendez's goal put East up 6-5 and set Lee up for a moment that will live on forever in Cardinals soccer history. PV's Adam Werkheiser slowly approached the ball and tried to beat Lee low and to the right, but the senior smothered the attempt to set off a raucous celebration by PM East.
"The pressure, playing that entire time not having let anything up, what was going through my mind was that I would only have to make one save for us to win if our team could follow up and put them away," said Lee, twice an All-MVC second-team pick and once an first-team selection. "That's pretty much what's on my mind the whole time, read their position, read their footing and kind of just guess which way they're going but in an educated way."
It wouldn't have been possible without a stellar defensive performance by the Cards.
From front to back, East never let up with its pressure on Pleasant Valley. Whether it was Andrew Ficco up top, Martin Dieppa or Schenke in the midfield, Shane Steckel and Stephen Yarosh in the back or Lee making one of his eight saves, the Cards were consistently able to keep a PV team that came in averaging 3.3 goals per game at bay.
"It was team defense," Black said. "All 11 players, right from the forwards putting pressure on their backs, our midfield covering the passing lanes and winning balls in the air and the same thing with our backs, keeping (PV players) in front of them. All of that we worked on and talked about it and of course it paid off. The boys are the ones who deserve the credit because they executed everything that we practiced."
The celebration afterward had been built up for nearly four years.
In 2007 and 2009, Pocono East held the top seed in the playoffs and reached the final only to fall to Stroudsburg, including last year's heartbreaker in double overtime, each time. In 2008, the Cards had another talented squad, but fell to the Bears 1-0 in the semis.
This season, the first in school history without Rowan, who went 334-221-59 and won seven championships over 31 years, had its ups and downs, but Pocono East was confident after beating Stroudsburg 1-0 in the semifinals Tuesday.
The Cards combined that by playing with a calmness that was critical to their championship game victory. Not once was there a look of panic, confusion or frustration. They all played with the same purpose — to partake in a celebration that was years in the making.
"It's an unbelievable feeling," said Steckel, a senior and All-MVC second-team pick. "We worked so hard for it. I believe in every one of my teammates. We couldn't have done anything without the hard work we put in over the summer. It's just an unbelievable feeling. I'm speechless right now."

In the mid 1980s, we lived in Navy housing. The back of our townhouse overlooked Monterey Bay, at the top of a steep wooded hillside. My husband was attending the Naval Post Graduate School.
One evening, we noticed a raccoon on our back deck. His muddy paw tracks decorated the door as he tried to force the sliding glass door open. He stared intently into the living room, while eating one of our recently planted tulip bulbs. While he watched us, his left paw knocked an empty flower pot filled water all over the muddy prints on the wooden deck. Seeing what a klutz he was, we named him after one of my husband's classmates who had been asking asking if any one wanted to do a joint thesis as soon as he met them.
The next night he returned. This time he finished off half a plant as he once again tried to force his way into the den.
After that Kardos became almost a nightly visitor. He would sit outside for about 15-20 minutes watching us and trying to force his way into the house. We learned that Kardos liked dog biscuits and peanut M&Ms but did not care for rice cakes.
We also got a raccoon puppet. When Kardos would make an appearance, we would stage the puppet by the door so that the real and puppet raccoons were at eye level. Kardos seemed fascinated how this raccoon could get inside the house, but he could not. I'm not sure if he realized that the inside raccoon was an imposter.
For over a month, Kardos was a regular visitor. He took very few days off. After one such brief hiatus, he returned with strangely yellow, glowing eyes. He seemed nervous and twitchy, even for him. Later that evening, a second raccoon showed up for the first time. That was when we learned that Kardos was actually a Kardette.
We only saw Kardette, as we now called the raccoon, one more time. She came back for a brief visit. We never did learn if she had babies.
Raccoons are highly intelligent animals and quite dexterous about getting into houses. They can also carry rabies. We were lucky the Kardette never managed to get into the house. In retrospect, we were very stupid to feed her.
Have you ever been fascinated by wildlife outside your door? Did you ever interact with it? Join in the conversatoin and share your wild animal story.

In the next section he talks about his very first session, at the early age of 17: My first session was with Keltner with Jack Dougherty. It was a rehearsal band, and Hal Blaine was the drummer, and then the contractor called to see if I wanted to do the rehearsal band on Saturdays. I did about five of them. I knew they were planning to do a record, and they stopped calling me for rehearsals, so I figured they were going to use a studio guy for the album. Then Dougherty called me and asked if I had ever heard of a drummer named Keltner. At that time, my biggest heroes were Keltner and Gordon. I said yes, and he said, "He just got off the road with Joe Cocker, and you and he are going to do the rehearsal band for a couple of weeks. So we rehearsed a couple of times before the session. I was 17 and didn't even have my driver's license, so my mom drove me to the session at A&M. I borrowed my dad's black diamond pearl Ludwig set, which was just like Keltner's, because I wanted to be just like him: I wore a vest like Jim Keltner, I tried to get the heaviest boots I could, because like everyone else has said, you just wanted to emulate your heroes. Just before I got through the door, I was so nervous, I threw up right in the corner. Thank God the tune was this uptempo samba, because my stick was going so fast. I remember Jim sits down next to me, and he looks over to me and says, "Man, do you read?" I go, "No," and he said, "I don't read that good either, you do the fills and I'll just keep time." I'm going "Right!" PORCARO'S AND DRUMS Joe Porcaro, famous percussionist, let all his three sons play the drums when they were young: "My dad was doing the Hartford Symphony and all of us, my other two brothers Mike and Steve, were taking lessons from him at the same time. We would go down with him on the weekends to the drum shop and he would find some free time from his regular students and give us lessons." (Jeff Porcaro, Downbeat 1977) Since Jeff, Mike and Steve Porcaro had to fight over the drumkit, Mike picked up the bass and Steve switched to playing piano and keyboards. In an interview with German magazine Sticks (1992), Mike Porcaro tells how his mother gave the Porcaro brothers their feeling for rhythm by patting their backs like a cymbal: Yes, she did that with all of us, Jeff, Steven and myself. She has a very good ear for music and plays the German flute. She has a great feeling for rhythm. Maybe that's where we got our 'time feel' and no from our father, I don't know where it came from. After dinner she would pat our backs with "ding daa de-ding daa". Jeff's godfather Enil Richards said that in Billboard. She did that with all of us, even our sister. Why has one person got a good 'time feel' and the other hasn't? Is it decided by the genes or is it a gift of God? I don't know, but it is interesting, you should think about that, drummers with baby's: give them some help!

Emotional branding can strike a lot of different chords -- happiness, pride, empathy, excitement, inspiration, and even affirmation. And it's our job to understand these emotions.
Beyond this, we need to be able to trigger these emotions through content and visuals. While some might call it playing with people's emotions, I like to think of it as a deep understanding of what resonates with people -- what they really care about.
It's not just about selling. It's about connecting.
If you are looking for inspiration on how to use emotional triggers in your clients' messaging, check out the four examples below:
1) You Can't Fabricate Truth
Trigger: Honesty
Philly bleeds green. And the city boasts one of the most fickle fan bases in all of professional sports.
Heading into 2013, on the heels of a 4-12 season, there was a skepticism in play. A new coach. New players. The same closed doors? How cautiously optimistic should Eagles fans be? To reconnect that broken circuit, undercut the uncertainty, and prime Eagles Nation for a new, exciting season, we adopted a "tough love" brand stance, likening the bonds between city and team to those of family members. We owned and celebrated the past and reminded fans of an essential truth: the Eagles fuel Philadelphia, and Philadelphia fuels the Eagles.
Philadelphia rallied for the Eagles -- and broke barriers. The takeaway? While media channels will vary, effective brand messaging is always grounded in authenticity and fundamental truth.
2) Go Right to the Source
Trigger: AuthenticityOnce you've crafted the brand story, how're you going to tell it? And in an effort to humanize the brand and strike an emotional chord, who's going to tell it? A celebrity? An anonymous voice-over? A real, relatable consumer?
For the University of Florida's "Gator Good" campaign rollout, we turned the camera lens away from the school and onto the world of change that the Gators are inspiring. Instead of using University of Florida's 30 seconds of airtime to show sun-drenched shots of campus, the stadium, and magnolias lining the plaza, we told the story of Aaron Pinksy, a now seven-year-old boy who, at the age of four, was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. We also showed the story of the Polcaros, a family who moved to Punta Gorda, Florida, just days before Hurricane Charley hit back in 2004, destroying their home and their new town. They showed people how The University of Florida is making an impact around the globe, and right in their backyard.
Across the country, as UCLA was readying to launch a $4.2 billion "Let There Be" capital campaign in connection with its centennial, they enlisted real people, such as Alysia Padilla-Vaccaro, whose twin baby girl was born without an immune system, to highlight the unparalleled impact of UCLA's scientific research and medical advancements.
These stories tug at the heartstrings and rouse inspiration, not just because of the nature of the content, but because of the authenticity with which they're portrayed.
3) Acknowledge Your Audience
Trigger: AffirmationYou. Are. Amazing. You're the fun-bringer. You're the one who's holding it all together, at work and at home, and you're doing a super job.
Feels pretty good to hear that, right? Especially In the world of children's birthday parties, play dates, and super-sized snacks, where do-it-yourself has turned into outdo everyone else. It provides validation. Builds confidence. Maybe even empowers you.
America's favorite soft pretzel company, Superpretzel, is taking this affirmative tack in their brand new, mom-centric brand campaign. Speaking from a back-to-basics brand platform, Superpretzel is giving busy moms a well-deserved break with a focus on simple ingredients, ready in seconds.
4) It's Not for Everyone
Trigger: ExclusivityWant a rush? Nothing quite compares to the feeling of being behind the wheel of the world's most iconic luxury brand: Ferrari. And we're not talking about a leisurely drive to your local Starbucks. The real Ferrari ownership experience comes by driving the car the way Enzo Ferrari intended for it to be driven: on a racetrack.
The work is not only meant to sell Ferrari vehicles but to drive brand affinity. Ferrari is coveted, and it takes powerful, compelling verbiage and visual treatments to convey a feeling of exhalation and also exclusivity.
In this case, attainability takes a back seat to aspirational, and that's what sells.

Parents often selflessly put aside their wants and needs for their children and that is admirable but what does that actually accomplish? Parents may begin to feel drained of energy or burnt out.
By Jackie Saulmon Ramirez | June 19, 2013
When I came to my first Parents Anonymous meeting I was anxious to fix everything that I was doing wrong. I figured it would take me maybe two months— three tops. The pressing need at the time was the homework problems. I was soaking up other parents' tips on communicating more effectively, getting the girls to listen and teaching them to help do chores. There was so much to learn.
Raven, the parent leader of our group, was explaining one day what getting our needs as a parent meant. To her, it meant making sure she got her pap smear and other checkups every year. To Becky it meant having five or six hours alone to recharge her energy by pampering herself with a manicure or yoga class. Caroline liked to go to the movies or shopping with her sister unescorted by kids.
The group asked me what I did to get my needs met and I was not sure. It had been so long since I had thought about "me" that I did not know what to tell them.
As I left the meeting I thought about getting my needs met all the way home. According to the members whatever I do or get should make me feel valued as an important part of my family. I thought of the many things I needed but was not getting— it was time.
The next week Becky, Raven and Caroline anxiously wanted to know what I did to get my needs met. (Drum roll) The magic word for me was— underwear – drawers – panties! I told them I had worn the same underwear for at least five years so I bought all new undies and threw out all the old. After dealing with the worn out elastic and 'holy' undies I was ready. The members laughed and shook their heads but it sure meant a lot to me.
If you ask ten people what getting their needs met means to them, you may get ten different answers. Some think of getting one's needs met as being indulgent while others say it is a healing of sorts. Janie even suggested a trip to the jeweler but I'm pretty sure she was joking.
With practice I got better at self-care and getting my own needs met. I arranged medical and dental appointments and had tests done. I took time for myself to read or to have coffee with friends; I have taken trips, workshops and classes.
Over the years I learned you cannot wait for others to appreciate you, you must take the first steps yourself. We do not need validation or permission from a spouse or partner. Your importance should be right up there with your children; if your children's clothing gets worn out or too small, you replace the clothing with some that fits. Why would you need any less?
If you are ever in doubt ask your peers— what do they do to get their needs met?

PORT HARCOURT—Media aide to Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, Mr. David Iyofor, has dismissed as untrue, claim by the Supervising Minister of Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, on a television programme, that the monorail project of the state government had been abandoned.
Iyofor said the project was still going on and nearing about 85 percent completion. He challenged Wike to visit the project site on Azikiwe Road to see things for himself.
He said: "Work is ongoing at the monorail project. So it is funny when we hear Wike say that work is not going on. He was asked pointedly about the project and he said, 'nothing is happening on the monorail project,' but I'm glad you can see that work is going on in the monorail and they even work day and night, so that they could meet the target for completion and the monorail is already 85 per cent completed."

My Etsy Store is now open again - in a brand new way!
From now on the store will basically house download-able print-your-own toys. I might put some DIY art prints up at some point as well, but for now there are just a couple of jumping jacks to see how well it works and iron out any teething troubles.
And for you lovely blog readers here's the mystical cowboy for you to print and cut out and hang (and perhaps, secretly love ;))
All you need to construct him is some small scissors (or a scalpel), a few small brads and either a small hole punch or be very patient with your small scissors!
The jumping jacks in my shop are packaged with instructions, I just haven't got round to it with this fella.
Also, you might be interested to know i've started chucking sketches and random inspiration images/memorabilia into a link on the left hand side of the blog. You can go directly there clicking this link.
I'll keep putting stuff in there over time.
All for now, hoping you're all well x

Axa Logo - The AXA name Despite being written in upper case, "AXA" is not an acronym, but was chosen because its name can be pronounced easily by people who speak any language. After acquiring the Drouot Group in 1982, Chairman and CEO Claude Bébéar hired an outside consultant to conduct a computer-aided search for a new name. Bébéar wanted a short and snappy name to convey vitality and could be pronounced the same way in every language, consistent with the group's desire for an international presence. Initially, "Elan" was the top choice, but Canadian executives balked because "elan" is the French word for where a moose or elk--two of the least intelligent animals in the world--live. In 1985, Bébéar chose the name AXA. This decision fit perfectly because his first preference was for the new name to start with "A" so it would appear at the top of all directories.
In the United Kingdonm - AXA trades in the United Kingdom as AXA Sun Life, AXA Insurance, AXA Investment Managers, AXA Wealth and AXA PPP Healthcare. AXA PPP Healthcare was created when AXA bought Guardian Royal Exchange (GRE), though it subsequently sold the other parts of GRE to Aegon. The company also owns the online insurer Swiftcover, distribution business Bluefin and fund manager Architas. In January 2007 AXA was reorganised into "strategic business units" (SBU's) aimed at competing within their specific markets.AXA run its investment branch through AXA Investment Managers

NYC Museum Explores Arab-Americans
Associated Press Writer
World famous poets and pollsters, entrepreneurs and entertainers, designers and professors, and even a saint. Of different religions and nations of origin, they immigrated to New York City with a common heritage: They or their ancestors were from Arabic-speaking nations.
An exhibit opening Saturday at the Museum of the City of New York explores that diversity, shattering many stereotypes about New York's Arab-American population.
"A Community of Many Worlds: Arab Americans in New York City" features more than 200 photographs, documents, books, costumes, textiles, household objects and artifacts, as well as videotaped interviews.
It is the first major show to focus on this often misunderstood group, and it comes at a time when the image of New Yorkers of Arab descent is often muddled by media reports about Middle Eastern terrorists.
The show, which museum staff and a team of local scholars, collectors and artists have been researching for over four years, was originally scheduled to open on Nov. 17. It was expanded following the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center to include segments on reaction to the attacks.
Far from being a group of recently arrived hardline Muslims, the community is centuries old. The majority of New Yorkers of Arab descent are Christians, with smaller numbers of Muslims and Jews. The population is difficult to gauge because of the wide range of ways in which people identify themselves, but is estimated at being between 150,000 to 175,000.
Although some Arabs arrived before the Civil War, most came in one of two large migration waves. The first, from the mid-1800s to 1924, consisted primarily of Christians from an area known as Greater Syria in the Ottoman Empire. The second, which began in 1965, included Muslims from several different areas, many of whom were well-educated and fleeing turmoil in their home countries.
The earliest immigrants settled on the Lower East Side, in an area known as Little Syria that was mostly destroyed by the construction of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. By the 1940s, Arab communities had spread throughout the boroughs.
New Yorkers of Arab descent include such household names as poet Khalil Gibran, designer Norma Kamali, pollster John Zogby, former White House cabinet member Donna Shalala, actor F. Murray Abraham and opera star Rosalind Elias. Besides doctors, professors, craftsmen and activists, there is even a canonized Arab Orthodox Christian _ Saint Raphael Hawaweeny.
"They are one of the strands that makes this city what it is, and that gives New York a New York identity," said Sarah Henry, who helped organize the show.
The exhibit, shown in three rooms, is organized thematically into sections on family, religion, culture, work and public life. It begins with an introductory panel on the demographics and history of immigration from the Arab world to New York.
There are Christian, Muslim and Jewish artifacts. There's a humorous essay on a Syrian Jew's struggle for acceptance by New York Jews of European descent, and a 1908 essay about citizenship rules that treated Arabs unfairly. And there are stereotyped action figures with names like Nomad, who is described as "Devious. Traitorous. Desperate," and Abduhl, "Mean and Vicious."
Sections on Arab New Yorkers in the worlds of literature and music are triumphant. One display includes a telex from Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser sent after the death of poet Elia Abou Madi.
"Some of the greatest artists of the Arabic language were actually New Yorkers," Henry said. "You couldn't teach an Arabic literature class without discussing writers from New York. Their poetry had many traditional Arabic qualities, but it was also very American. It was influenced by Walt Whitman and others."
A section on music features the latest CD from jazz musician Simon Shaheen, as well as records from the mid-1900s with "Aramerican" pop songs like "Sahara Sue" and "Shish Kabob Rock."
The exhibit is also bittersweet. The final section includes a photo of a smiling Nasser Ahmed the day he was released from a New York prison in 1999. The Brooklyn resident was arrested in 1996 under anti-terrorism laws and was held in solitary confinement for three years without being formally charged with a crime.
And there are poignant photos of mourning Arab-Americans at candlelight vigils following Sept. 11.
The show does not travel beyond New York. An accompanying book, "A Community of Many Worlds: Arab Americans in New York City," will be published by Syracuse University Press this spring.

Tesla has revealed its new all-wheel-drive dual-motor Model S 70D sedan, joining the more powerful 85D and replacing the entry-level Model S 60.
In Australia, the 70D is priced from $102,400 before luxury car tax, stamp duty and on-road costs. Depending on the region, the 70D's delivered price is between $111,545 (ACT) and $118,363 (WA).
Although it carries a much heftier price tag than the Model S 60 that it replaces - pitched at around $97,000-103,000 with on-road costs included - the 70D is a much improved offering.
The first clues as to the 70D's enhancements are in the name, representing a more powerful 70kWh lithium-ion battery pack and the introduction of the same Dual-motor system that debuted with the flagship P85D model.
That upgrade brings a number of significant improvements.
Power increases from 225kW to 245kW, while driving range grows from 390km in the Model S 60 to a new 440km range with the 70D.
The 0-100km/h time is shaved, deeply, from 6.2 seconds in the 60 to a new 5.4 seconds in the 70D. (That makes the 70D quicker than the more expensive rear-wheel-drive 85.)
That swifter acceleration time is thanks largely to the addition of a second electric motor, adding driving power to the front axle for a new all-wheel-drive layout.
Standard features with the 70D will include the new Autopilot system and hardware, along with the new trip planner and range assurance applications, satellite navigation, lane departure warning, parking sensors, automatic emergency braking and automatic keyless entry.
Access to Tesla's Supercharger network - currently made up of one location in Sydney but scheduled to expand between Melbourne and Brisbane in the years ahead - is also included.
Lastly, there's three new colours on offer across the Model S range: Ocean Blue (pictured top of article), Warm Silver and Obsidian Black.
Speaking with TMR today, Tesla Australia's Heath Walker confirmed the first examples of the new 70D will hit Australia toward the end of 2015, although the order books are open now.
Likewise, the 85D and P85D models can also be ordered now ahead of delivery dates due late this year.

The Science of Brewing
Last week (May 16th) the NPR program "Science Friday" dedicated its second hour to discussing some of the science behind beer and brewing. Since it was in Milwaukee, they also spent some time talking about the early years of Wisconsin brewing. It wasn't as technical as I personally would have liked, but they do a good job of covering many subjects and providing a general overview of the state of beer brewing today. If you missed it here is the link to the MP3:

PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang is the most qualified leader to be appointed the sixth Prime Minister compared to others if there is a power shift on Sept 16.
PAS central committee member Nik Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah who is also Kelantan PAS deputy commissioner said this was just a suggestion of party members who, like Umno members in Barisan Nasional (BN), surely wanted their president to become Prime Minister.
"But to us, PAS will accept whatever decisions by the top leadership in determining who becomes Prime Minister; to us, surely we want PAS president," he told reporters after launching the Kelantan-level "Hudud Day Celebrations" here Wednesday.
Nik Amar said the decision to elect the country's top leadership would be in the hands of the Presidential Council comprising the presidents of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), DAP and PAS. It was them who would pick the person to hold the highest seat, he said.
He said PAS members surely wanted Hadi to become Prime Minister while PKR wanted its advisor, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, to hold the post.
Anwar has said that a change will happen in the government on Sept 16 when Pakatan Rakyat takes over the national leadership from BN.

|Top United States Naval reactors
The A4W reactor is a naval reactor used by the United States Navy to propel warships and generate onboard electricity.
The A4W designation stands for:
These nuclear fission pressurized water reactors (PWRs) were jointly designed by Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory and Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory[1] and built by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Their reactor cores are expected to operate for about 23 years. The only ships to use these nuclear reactors are the Nimitz class supercarriers, which have two apiece, each of which generates enough steam to produce 140,000 shaft horsepower (104 MWe).[2]

TICs in the Current Market
At the end of September, sales of TICs made up 13% of sales in the combined condo/TIC market. That's about the same as all of last year but down from 19% in 2009 and the high of 24% reached in 2007. TICs made up 16% of the active listings.
Looking at the first nine months of the year, TICs have averaged about 85 days on market which is not much more than the 79 DOM of condos.
Our survey looks at three specific configurations of units: 1bd/1ba, 2bd/1ba, and 2bd/2ba. These three configuration make up about 60% of the total market for condos and TICs in San Francisco. The average difference in selling prices between condos and TICs for those three configurations range from $76,000 for the 1bd/1ba units, $127,000 for 2bd/1ba units, and $68,000 for 2bd/2ba units. These numbers represent the premium buyers have been paying for a condo (or the discount you get when buying a TIC).
Of course there are other considerations when considering the TIC/condo decision -- too many to get into here. Nevertheless, the TIC market remains a significant, active part of overall real estate sales activity in San Francisco. You can see the entire report on our web site here.

Number of Sales Improves in San Francisco
I am now predicting that the total number of residential real estate sales in San Francisco in 2011 will exceed the total number for 2010! This will be the second year in a row sales will have increased compared to the previous year and it will be the highest number of sales since 2007. I suppose, or hope, this is a continuing trend, and that the Bay Area/California, as usual, will lead the Nation is these trends, laws, and ideas!As of September 30th (end of the third quarter) my analysis from our Monthly Statistical Reports, which we prepare for both San Francisco and Marin Counties, makes it relatively easy to make my year end's prediction! For the nine months Total Number of Sales of residential properties in San Francisco including single families and condos/TIC is 3,695 . Of this total, 52% are condos/TICs (1,935) and 48% are single family homes (1,735). Nationally, there are 8 times as many single family homes selling as condos. So yes, another reason why we are unique in the Bay area and probably all of California. There are only a handful of communities in the entire country where the market share for condos is higher than for single family homes.
San Franciscans are faced with the challenges presented by Short Sales and REO's. 17.5% of our Total Number of Sales fall into this category. Breaking it down, 21.3% of condo sales are Short Sales or REO's but, surprisingly, only 13.3% of single family homes. On the other hand, 30% of sales in Marin county are Short Sales and REOs homes (48% of condos and 24% of single family homes). By way of comparison, REOs and Short Sales made up almost 70% of sales in Sacramento for the first three quarters!
So, all in all, I find that we are in pretty good shape, confidence is rising, as will total sales and prices! We welcome any questions or comments. For a complete list of our reports please go to boldsf.com and click on Statistics!

Adam Rippon Posts Selfie With Shawn Mendes
Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon made a lot of Shawn Mendes fans jealous on Monday when he shared a selfie with the Canadian singer.
The two posed together at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday night in L.A.
"I planted the seed and I saw the harvest," tweeted Rippon. "He is cute, he is sweet, and the other guy is @ShawnMendes."
The pic came only days after Rippon, 28, told Ellen DeGeneres that he had a crush on Mendes, 19.
"I used to have a really big crush on Harry Styles," he explained. "I was sleeping on Shawn Mendes. Not literally. Not with. On. I didn't realize how cute he was.
"I know Harry will be upset, but I know love is a funny thing."
In the selfie, Rippon is wearing a Jeremy Scott for Moschino tuxedo with leather harness. "Everyone should take risks, be bold and not give a [s**t]," he tweeted in defence of his fashion choice. "It's LOTS of fun."

} Treasury bonds extend gains Long bond up well over a point ByJulie Rannazzisi, CBS MarketWatch Last Update:
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- The Treasury market Wednesday continued to fly in the face of a rising stock market on fierce buying in the intermediate sector. The five- and 10-year sectors continued to post handsome gains on the heels of mortgage-related buying.
The benchmark 30-year Treasury bond rose 1 17/32 to yield TYX, -0.63% 4.996 percent, while the 10-year bond wasup 1 6/32 to yield TNX, -0.69% 4.575 percent. Elsewhere, the five-year was up 1/2 to yield FVX, -0.98% 4.23 percent while the two-year gained 1/32 to yield 4.11 percent.
The spread between the yield of a two-year note and 30-year bond narrowed back to 91.5 basis points after widening to more than 100.6 basis points early Tuesday.
John Canavan, an analyst at Stone & McCarthy Research Associates, said Tuesday's and Wednesday's buying was merely a consolidation for the market after last week's eye-popping selloff. The benchmark bond lost six and a half points in only four trading sessions last week.
Market will continue to consolidate
Canavan said that the unbelievable, and excessive, selloff last week would continue to prompt more consolidative buying in the coming days.
Players believe this week's run-up thus far has little to do with a change in market psychology and everything to do with flows stemming from trades being unwound. (See Market Snapshot.)
Since it's so difficult to get a read on what kind of trades are behind price moves these days, most investors have decided to stay put.
"Most people are sidelined waiting to see how [the market] sorts itself out," Canavan said, noting that players will look for a fresh reason to buy once the marketplace looks less threatening.
The only purchases being made in the market are by people who need to buy, with few new longs coming into play. However, traders noted that a small amount of bottom fishing was also taking place.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's William McDonough said the international turmoil has increased investors' aversion to risk, Reuters reported.
"There has been an excessive shift in market-risk aversion,'' McDonough told a press conference Wednesday. "Signals of a possible credit crunch are in capital markets, specifically in fixed-income markets.''
One positive for the market is the fact that yen-carry trades -- which brought Treasury bonds to their knees last week -- have been unwound, dealers said.
Busy watching the world's hot spots
While the world's so-called hot spots have not been generating flight-to-quality flows in the past week, market watchers said Treasurys are keeping a close eye on developments in Japan, Russia and Brazil.
In Japan, confidence appeared to be waning after the passage by the lower house of parliament Tuesday of a bill setting guidelines to inject public funds into banks in crisis. The upper house is expected to pass the bill bythe end of the week.
At midsession Wednesday, the dollar traded little changed at 119 yen. (See latest currency rates.)
Retail sales data has no impact
Wednesday's main piece of economic news came in the form of the typically closely watched retail-sales report. The market barely batted an eye when the Commerce Department unveiled that the index edged up 0.3 percent last month.
"Once again, the retail-sales report release underscored the fact [that economic news] has been relegated to the back burner," said Kevin Flanagan, a money-market economist at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.
The Commerce Department also reported that the core retail-sales index -- which excludes the volatile automobile component -- posted a paltry 0.1 percent gain. Retail sales had been expected to increase by 0.5 percent.
Thursday will see the release of the September producer price index, August business inventories, weekly jobless claims and the Philadelphia Fed survey for October. (See full story.)

I'm a stay at home mom that homeschools. I've done this for over 14 years. One day I saw some posts on Facebook about this site called Swagbucks. It's a site that pays you to mostly watch ads, along with other things. Finally, one day I decided I should check it out....it was free to sign-up, so what would it hurt. That was the middle of October. I didn't really do anything with it until the beginning of November and then I guess you would say, or at least my family would say, I threw myself into it.
By the end of November I had earned $50 and I was addicted. I earned another $150 in December even with 2 weeks of limited access because of Christmas vacation, and $100 in January. So, in 3 months time I earned $300!! It's the 2nd of February and already have enough to get $10 more. Nothing to get rich off of, but it will make Christmas and birthdays this year nicer. All of this was earned in Amazon Gift Cards(AGC). You can redeem your "swagbucks" for all kinds of different gift cards, paypal and other items. I just do so much shopping at Amazon and they have the best redemption value of "swagbuck" to dollar ratio. I do need to say that they did have a sale on gift cards in December for the holidays, so I was able to pick up some higher value gift cards that I might not have been able to get. They continue to have sales on different things everyday, some good, some not so good. It all depends on what you are looking for.
So, you're asking what all do I have to do to earn some money at this site? Do I have to spend alot of time on this? I work all day, how am I supposed to make money with so little time? All I will say is, the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.....BUT, you don't have to spend alot of time on it and you could easily make $10-$15 a month.....that's an extra $120-$180 a year.....just for doing the very basics, all of which would take no more than about an hour a day, if that much.
The currency Swagbucks pays you in is called "swagbucks"...go figure! LOL 1 swagbuck(or sb) is worth about 1 cent. You can get a $5 AGC for 450sb....this is their best priced item and you can get up to 5 of them in a month, with a limit of 2 a day. This is their standing rule for anything you get from them.....no more than 2 of any item a day and no more than 5 of one kind of item a month.
So, what are the basics you can do to earn swagbucks? Right now there are 5 daily's that you can do.
1sb for installing the Swagbucks toolbar (you can find this at their site and everyday when you log onto the internet you get credit)
1sb for taking the Daily Poll (just pick the best answer, sometimes it's like throwing a dart)
2sb for doing the NOSO - no obligation special offers....you just click skip or next page until you get to the end....where you'll have to enter a code word(s), sometimes after a video clip....we call this a captcha
10sb for playing games - you get 2 sb for every 2 games that you play, but you must hit the return to games button to get the credits. Most of the time you only have to pay for about 1-1.5 minutes. I like to play Swaggle, it's a match-3 type game.
3sb for watching a video in your inbox - You have a mailbox at Swagbucks and everyday they send you earning opportunites. One of these is to watch a video. You just have to tell them if you saw an ad at the beginning or not. Most of the time after clicking on the video link, you can open the question link and choose "Didn't see an ad" and you'll get credit.
That's 17sb's right there, only 13 more sb's a day and you'll be on your way to $10 AGC a month! The site will also randomly award swagbucks for doing searches. Now keep in mind this is RANDOM and not a guarantee, but you can usually get 2-3 search wins in a day averaging 7sb each using their search engine. Also, almost everyday, except weekends, they will have a code that is usually good for about an hour worth anywhere from 4-12sb. Sometimes you can get its, sometimes you can't as it's never given a the same time.
If you have the time, they have surveys you can take that are worth 25-400sb ea....as long as you qualify. There are special offers you can do. There are other videos you can watch for 1-3sb each. If you have an adroid device they have an app that will get you 50sb a day for watching videos. One great site that a person made to help beginners is www.swagging101.info. It's got some of the same information I mentioned and more. It's to good to read so you know some of the rules, like no cheating, no posting of codes and more.
You can use the link on the side of this page to sign-up today and get started earning money. If you have any questions, ask me! I want you to succeed like I have. By the way, I even got my 75yr old mother started and in her first month she earned $15 in AGC and did mostly the basics with some extras thrown in every now and then.
Oh yeah, one final thing before I stop.....if you do decide you want to give this a try, make sure you an email address for junk mail to go to(yahoo mail or gmail, etc) that is seperate from your regular account. This will come in handy for any special offers you may want to try. Also, Google Voice is free and good to have as well. If you are on Facebook they have a great fan page at http://www.facebook.com/swagbucks Good luck and Happy Swagging!

Tonight, after becoming the oldest swimmer in history to win individual gold with his 50 free win, Anthony Ervin said that he wants to keep on going.
"I'm gonna try and make the Tokyo team of course," he said. "Obviously I like being in an environment where I can keep trying to swim to the best of my potential and I don't think my age should limit me to that and I don't think fear of defeat should limit that either because I don't think about winning or losing, it's just about being the best I can be for me and those that supported me."
Interestingly, Ervin is also the youngest swimmer in history to ever win Olympic gold in the men's 50 free, with his 2000 gold medal at 19. 16 years later, his journey has come full circle.
"It's surreal, kind of absurd and you know when I touched, turned around and saw the one next to my name, I kind of smiled and laughed," he said. "Then I wanted to show a little bit of emotion for the effort I'd put in, for my friends, for my family, for those watching at home and in the stands."
Speaking about his race, Ervin emphasized the importance of the team of people who support him.
"I just got great people around me," he said. "You don't think about trying to get your hand on the wall first, you just think about trying to swim the race that you imagine you can do, the one that you've been practicing, the one that maybe starts as a dream and it's a plan. You plan to do something, you start testing that plan and that was something I did at the Olympic Trials and something I did in the preliminaries. Then I refined the plan for semifinals and I tried to achieve an ultimate, best-to-do race for tonight and that's what I did. It just so happened that I got my hand on the wall, one one hundredth ahead of [Florent Manadou], and you can't control that. All I can control is how I do things and I just feel really lucky that I had a great team of people, my people to help me do it."

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passionsa]">[a] are at war within you?b]">[b] 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 You adulterous people!c]">[c] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"? 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers.d]">[d] The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
