Jazz saxophonist/clarinetist Christian Winther, left, and pianist Richard D. Johnson front their Two People project -- expanded to a quartet -- at Snug Harbor on Thursday, Aug. 8, 2013, in a program built around their new CD of Billy Strayhorn compositions.
A new modern jazz ensemble remaking old songs, a veteran jazz saxophonist, and a roadhouse-ready bluesman are among the options for Thursday, Aug. 8.
Christian Winther/Richard D. Johnson CD release party, Snug Harbor, 8 and 10 p.m.
Since moving to New Orleans in 1997 to study jazz at the University of New Orleans, saxophonist, clarinetist and composer Christian Winther has shared stages with a broad cross-section of mostly modern musicians. Winther and pianist Richard D. Johnson have formed a duo, Two People, to perform the music of noted jazz composers. The first composer to receive the Two People treatment is Billy Strayhorn. On the new CD "Two People: The Music of Billy Strayhorn," Winther and Johnson remake "Take the A Train," "A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing," "Johnny Come Lately," "Satin Doll" and other Strayhorn compositions as piano and tenor sax ruminations. For two sets at Snug Harbor on Thursday, Winther and Johnson are joined by bassist Max Moran and drummer Geoff Clapp – which, technically, adds up to Four People. They'll play music from the new CD, as well as original compositions.
Little Freddie King, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, 6 p.m.
The veteran bluesman's stories can be as entertaining as his songs. He'll get to showcase both when he performs and talks at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art's weekly Ogden After Hours series.
James Rivers Movement, Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse, 8 p.m.
Clint Eastwood's favorite New Orleans saxophonist performs with his band at trumpeter Irvin Mayfield's club in the Royal Sonesta.

Reminder for Report Card Do's and Don't's
As a parent, I received a newsletter that once had some important guidelines regarding report cards. I am including what my child's school put in their newsletter, as I believe it's good advice.
- Read the comments together with your child
- Talk about them
- Celebrated growth and achievements
- Make strategies for improvement and support
- Look at work habits, attitude, and behaviour
- Focus on learning
- Have daily times to check in on how your child is doing at school, not just at report card time
- Compare your child to others, siblings or classmates
- Focus on letter grades – the comments really tell the story!
- Only look at negatives (e.g. that on C amongst the Bs and As
- Ignore recommendations for growth
- Plan unrealistic demands on your child or use excessive rewards for marks.
Please be sure to pay attention to the teacher's comments on the report card and your child's effort marks. Parents and teachers want each student to work to the best of his/her abilities.
Please remember that the school is your partner and we want to work together to ensure your child is as successful as possible. Regular communication with your child's teacher is beneficial and recommended.

Stephen Tierney is an Australian mixed media artist working primarily in the technique of collage. He conjures floating worlds where figures and faces are dissected by text and everyday objects. A strong critique of social behaviour and human interaction seen through an almost dystopian gaze informs the artist's work. While the style and iconography of old film posters, vintage books and magazines of the 1940's, 50's and 60's are his visual inspiration.

The Promise of Breeze Hill
A Natchez Trace Novel #1
By Pam Hillman
If there is one thing for certain it is that the Natchez Trace is dangerous and Isabella Bartholomew's family knows this. With the murder of her brother and a fire that has incapacitated her father Isabella needs help with their plantation. And fortunately, she is able to secure the skills of Connor O'Shea.
And unfortunately for Connor O'Shea, Isabella Bartholomew bought his papers of indenture. The last thing he wants is to find himself working for a lady of property who will again ruin his life on a whim. But Connor needs the work to bring his brothers over from Ireland.
Connor's carpentry skills are just what Isabella needs to repair the damage done to her home. But Breeze Hill Plantation needs much more than a rebuilt wing. And Connor finds himself filling a much larger role than what he had agreed to. And spending more time with Isabella is not high on his list of tasks but her father has allowed her to assume much of his responsibility in his stead.
But soon the danger, that targeted travelers, seems to be focused on Breeze Hill and the Bartholomew family. Is there a reason they've targeted and were their past mishaps instead a deliberate attempt to destroy them?
The Promise of Breeze Hill is an interesting book with a few unexpected twists along the way. This book deals with various issues including loyalty, family, and slavery all of which were of utmost importance in how this story played out. Some characters one is instantly drawn to while others are almost instantly disliked and believe me the dislike factor doesn't abate as the story unfolds. As a series starting point, I'm interested to see where this series goes. And in case you're wondering this story does not end in a cliffhanger and in and of itself is complete.
This book would be an excellent choice for a book club and there are discussion questions included after the story as is a note by the author giving a bit of historical background concerning the setting. And those who have a fondness for early American history will enjoy this book. And if you were to judge a book by its cover this one is lovely, by the way.
Tyndale House Publishers provided me with a complimentary copy of this book with the expectations of a positive review. All expressed opinions are my own.
About the Book:
Natchez, MS; 1791
Anxious for his brothers to join him on the rugged frontier along the Mississippi River, Connor O'Shea has no choice but to indenture himself as a carpenter in exchange for their passage from Ireland. But when he's sold to Isabella Bartholomew of Breeze Hill Plantation, Connor fears he'll repeat past mistakes and vows not to be tempted by the lovely lady.
The responsibilities of running Breeze Hill have fallen on Isabella's shoulders after her brother was found dead in the swamps along the Natchez Trace and a suspicious fire devastated their crops, almost destroyed their home, and left her father seriously injured. Even with Connor's help, Isabella fears she'll lose her family's plantation. Despite her growing feelings for the handsome Irish carpenter, she seriously considers accepting her wealthy and influential neighbor's proposal of marriage.
Soon, though, Connor realizes someone is out to eliminate the Bartholomew family. Can he set aside his own feelings to keep Isabella safe?

Lessons from the Riata Recall– Part III
by Edward J Schloss MD
In two earlier posts on Cardiobrief (here and here), I have written in some detail about the St. Jude Riata/Riata ST lead recalls. In these pieces, I've summarized what we know about the design of these leads and their clinical performance. Ultimately I hope this updated information allows clinicians and other interested parties to make intelligent decisions regarding lead follow up and new lead model selection.
This week we've seen new important information that sheds additional light on the performance of Riata and Riata ST. As is often the case, new information leads to both new answers and new questions.
Accepted for publication in Heart Rhythm are two new manuscripts that reference these leads. From frequent contributor Robert Hauser and his group at Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation comes this review of ICD lead related deaths from the FDA MAUDE database. Also accepted for publication is a prospective series of Riata and Riata ST leads that underwent fluoroscopic and electrical evaluation from Parvathaneni et al at Vanderbilt.
Hauser's study has been previously reported on this site (20 Deaths Linked to New Problem with Riata Leads). It is notable for being one of the first Riata studies focusing on electrical, rather than structural failures. In the study, 22 (since corrected to 20 by St. Jude review) deaths discovered in the voluntary FDA MAUDE database were linked to failure of the Riata or Riata ST lead. Interestingly, nearly all deaths appear to be due to failure of the high voltage portion of the lead, and most were directly linked to insulation abrasion. This is a failure mechanism not commonly seen with other ICD leads, as noted in the article's comparison to Medtronic Quattro Secure leads (in which failure of the low voltage conductors is the dominant mechanism). Hauser estimated that failure of the St. Jude leads had an incidence "about 9 times greater than Quattro."
Close reading of the Hauser data raises some interesting and, at times, troubling points:

The Sophistication of Wine
What makes wine add such a touch of sophistication to just about anybody? Is it the jewel-like color or the fancy glasses we drink it from? Is it because it represents special occasions for many of us? Is it because we associate it with formal events and celebrations? Maybe it is because we don`t really understand wine very well and feel that those who do have a little extra touch of sophistication about them.
The language of wine gives us wine drinkers the image of sophistication. Often those who do not drink wine are not familiar with wine terminology like tannin, body, acidity, oak, fruitiness, legs and aromas. Wine lovers often debate the different types of wine, the right or wrong way to serve it, whether to decant or not and the flavors and aromas detected in it. They also discuss where wines are from, good years versus bad ones and so much more. It definitely can lead non-wine drinkers to think that we are more sophisticated than the norm. It can also make people think we`re a little pompous!
Wine is, by and large, the drink of choice for many special events and for celebrations. Therefore people have come to associate it with people enjoying themselves. When you add wine to just about any occasion, suddenly things are more joyous and people feel like it is a special event. Wine`s reputation makes it sound like a sophisticated choice to drink, unless of course it comes in a box!
Now most wine drinkers know that there are no hard and fast rules for enjoying wine. However, wine has the reputation of having rules about what temperature to serve it at or what wines go with what foods. Yet in reality, it is all about your taste. Some people serve their red wines chilled or even with an ice cube in it because they simply cannot palate room temperature wine. Others simply enjoy their favorite wine with whatever meal they prepare, regardless of pairing suggestions. It is all about what you like.
One of the things that adds to the mystery and sophistication of wine is that there is always something new to try and learn about. There are new wines, different vintages and wines from different regions or different producers to explore. The variety of wine is endless. For many people who enjoy wine immensely, life can be all about discovering new favorites, visiting wineries, making wine at home or learning about wine.
It is a complex subject. For anyone who wants to learn more about wine, there is much written about it. There are books, magazines, web sites and more. Although one of the best ways to explore new wines and learn about them is through wine tasting. Whether you do a wine tasting at home or go to an event, trying it yourself and talking with other wine lovers is the best way to make wine discoveries.
Wine is a sophisticated drink. It is very complex, but can nonetheless be enjoyed by anyone. Whether you have the desire to understand it or not, wine is a wonderful way to relax, enjoy a meal or just liven up a get-together.

I have got so many patterned papers in my craft room that half the time I forget what I have got, I was having a look through yesterday and found these lovely Prima Madeline papers.
I did a lot of hand cutting again on this page, I know a lot of people find fiddly cutting a really difficult, my top tip would be to use a small pair of curved manicure scissors. It makes it so much easier to go around all those little details, I find using a craft knife or straight scissors is hopeless.
I have cut around the floral border and then trimmed the outside slightly so that the background paper shows slightly around the edge. I have raised parts of the floral border up using pin flair gel to add extra depth.

PHOIBLE Online is a repository of cross-linguistic phonological inventory data, which have been extracted from source documents and tertiary databases and compiled into a single searchable convenience sample. The 2014 edition includes 2155 inventories that contain 2160 segment types found in 1672 distinct languages.
A bibliographic record is provided for each source document; note that some languages in PHOIBLE have multiple entries based on distinct sources that disagree about the number and/or identity of that language's phonemes.
Two principles guide the development of PHOIBLE, though it has proved challenging both theoretically and technologically to abide by them:
In addition to phoneme inventories, PHOIBLE includes distinctive feature data for every phoneme in every language. The feature system used was created by the PHOIBLE developers to be descriptively adequate cross-linguistically. In other words, if two phonemes differ in their graphemic representation, then they necessarily differ in their featural representation as well (regardless of whether those two phonemes coexist in any known doculect). The feature system is loosely based on the feature system in Hayes 2009 with some additions drawn from Moisik & Esling 2011.
However, the final feature system goes beyond both of these sources, and is potentially subject to change as new languages are added in subsequent editions of PHOIBLE.
The 2014 edition includes inventories from the following contributors:
|Number of inventories
|Christian Chanard and Rhonda L. Hartell (AA)
|The inventories in Alphabets of Africa (AA) come from the work of Christian Chanard's Systèmes alphabétiques des langues africaines, an online database of the work of Alphabets des langues africaines, published in 1993 by the Regional Office in Dakar, Senegal, and edited by Rhonda L. Hartell. AA contains the phoneme inventories and orthographies of 200 languages. Incorrect ISO 639-3 language name identifiers and incorrect Unicode IPA characters were updated before the inventories from the online version were added to PHOIBLE (see Moran 2012, chp 4 for details). Christopher Green verified the inventories' contents and in cases where there were discrepencies between Chanard and Hartell, additional resources were consulted to resolve these issues (ibid.).
|Christopher Green and Steven Moran (GM)
|Christopher Green and Steven Moran extracted phonological inventories from secondary sources including grammars and phonological descriptions with the goal of attaining pan-Africa coverage. This is a work in progress.
|Steven Moran and Daniel McCloy and Richard Wright.
|Ramaswami, N. (RA)
|These inventories come from Common Linguistic Features in Indian Languages: Phoentics, by N. Ramaswami. This source contains 100 languages' phoneme inventories, as compiled from various works on languages of India.
|South American Phonological Inventory Database (SAPHON)
|The South American Phonological Inventory Database (SAPHON), compiled and edited by Lev Michael, Tammy Stark and Will Chang, is a comprehensive resource describing phoneme inventories from languages spoken in South America. It contains over 300 data points and is available online at: http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/~saphon/.
|Stanford Phonology Archive (SPA)
|The Stanford Phonology Archive (SPA) was the first computerized database of phonological segment inventories. It was inspired by Joseph Greenberg's research on universals and his personal archive of data from notebooks and his memory (Crothers et al 1979, i-ii). The inventories in PHOIBLE Online come from the Handbook of Phonological Data From a Sample of the World's Languages, compiled and edited by Crothers et al 1979, and kindly provided to the Phonetics Lab (University of Washington) by Marilyn M. Vihman. The inventories in SPA include descriptions of phonemes, allophones and comments on phonological contexts for 197 languages. The inventory descriptions were digitized and each phoneme was mapped from its original written description, e.g. d-pharyngealized, to a Unicode IPA representation. Each inventory was also assigned an ISO 639-3 language name identifer. Details are given in Moran 2012, chp 4, and the SPA-to-Unicode IPA mappings are given in Moran 2012, appendix E.
|UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (UPSID)
|In the early 1980's, Ian Maddieson developed the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (UPSID), a computer-accessible database of contrastive segment inventories (Maddieson 1984). The initial sample of 317 languages drew on the work of the Stanford Phonology Archive (Crothers et al 1979), but decisions regarding the phonemic status and phonetic descriptions of some segments do not coincide between the compilers of the two databases and were therefore updated in UPSID (Maddieson 1984, pg 6). Maddieson and Precoda (1990) expanded the sample of languages from 317 to 451; both datasets have been based on a quota sampling technique that aims to include one language from each small language family. UPSID inventories contain no descriptions of tone. The UPSID-451 data used in PHOIBLE Online were extracted from a DOS software package. Each segment description, originally given in an ASCII encoding (e.g. XW9:) was mapped to Unicode IPA and each inventory was assigned an ISO 639-3 language name identifier. For details, see Moran 2012, chp 4; the UPSID-to-Unicode mappings are given in Moran 2012, appendix F.
The data set also includes additional genealogical and geographical information about each language from the Glottolog.
The PHOIBLE project also integrates the theoretical model of distinctive features from an extended phonological feature set based on International Phonetic Alphabet (International Phonetic Association 2005) and on Bruce Hayes 2009. This is accomplished by creating a mapping relationship from each IPA segment to a set of features (Steven Moran 2012). In this way, the IPA is a pivot for interoperability across all resources in PHOIBLE because their contents are encoded in Unicode IPA.
For a detailed description of PHOIBLE, see Steven Moran 2012. For examples of some of the research we are doing with PHOIBLE, see: Steven Moran and Daniel McCloy and Richard Wright 2012, Michael Cysouw and Dan Dediu and Steven Moran 2012, McCloy, Daniel R. and Moran, Steven and Wright, Richard A. 2013 and Moran & Blasi, Cross-linguistic comparison of complexity measures in phonological systems, forthcoming.

Bythewood's talent is real, uncanny and quite unique. The plots planted in her heart are nurtured until they blossom on the big screen and giddily dance in the hearts of millions like a field of wild flowers.
It's hard to disagree, when most of us are still deeply embedded into a love story that began with two 11 year olds playing ball. The classic film, Love & Basketball proves itself to be hallmark of kindred spirits, Monica to Quincy and undeniably, Bythewood to feature films.

On February 11, the USGBC South Carolina Low Country Branch participated in the fourth annual Charleston STEM Fest 2017, an outdoor celebration of science, technology, engineering and math. Our booth was located right on the river on a beautiful 70-degree day. The group started setting up around 9 a.m., and by 10, the kids were flocking around the booth with excited faces.
Engaging the community
At this festival, our goal was to interact with students and engage them in activities about how to be green. In addition, being an exhibitor not only gave the organization exposure, but also the an opportunity to network with other exhibitors/vendors that have a presence in Charleston that may seek to know more about USGBC. We hoped to reach students, faculty members, school board members and other leaders of the Charleston community.
Sketching out green homes
USGBC volunteers Joe, Jacquayle, Jennifer and Greg assisted the children in modeling a basic house with a door, windows and a gable roof. They acquainted parents with the sketch-up software and other computer modeling software that is all free. With up to 200 students participating, the eclectic neighborhood that came to life expressed unique color palettes, and a variety of structures from modest to ambitiously soaring.
After the volunteers highlighted the basic geometric functions to the children, most were quick learners and were excited to explore their new tech-savvy hobby at home. After each child modeled their dream home in sketch-up, volunteers would assist in creating an overhang in front of a few windows. They would demonstrate the shadow cast by the new addition to their structure and open an adjacent window with a model that demonstrated an energy efficiency profile.
The energy-efficient model, adorned with a heat-color-coded response, stirred curiosity in the children. The volunteers explained that the shading device modeled above their windows allowed for a cooler response from the building toward its environment. Adjacent trees in the energy model were pointed out, and the USGBC volunteers explained how the leaves create shade in the hot months of the year and then fall to create more opportunity for light in the colder months.
Encouraging enthusiasm for STEM
The volunteer team was as enthusiastic about the day as the participants. Jennifer described her experience:
As a USGBC South Carolina volunteer, I am absolutely thrilled we were able to attend the Charleston STEM fest 2017. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. With an abundant and vivacious group of exhibitors, I felt personally encouraged by the surrounding network of professionals, who are passionate about creating games to facilitate the interest of the next generation in science, engineering, math and technology.
The children and parents came out with overwhelming interest. The kids were patient and quick learners who were all extremely engaged. It was a great success, and I look forward to volunteering again in the future. Shout-out to an amazing volunteer group!

UNIONTOWN (KDKA) — An urgent warning from Uniontown police about the popular online marketplace craigslist.
Three times in the last week people who thought they were purchasing electronics came to various locations on the east side of Uniontown to meet the alleged seller.
When they arrived, instead of a friendly transaction, they were approached by three men demanding their cash.
"The victims have been from various counties around Fayette County, but none live in the city of Uniontown," Uniontown Police Chief Jason Cox said.
The suspects have been armed and in one case even fired a shot at the victim. He wasn't injured, but the bullet struck his car.
Police say the robberies have all happened overnight.
"I've not been aware of very legitimate purposes that occur at two o'clock in the morning, so that is in some instances what the prospective seller in this case is requesting to conduct this transaction sometime in the middle of the night," Chief Cox said.
Uniontown police are following up on leads and putting all of their resources into this investigation.
"At this point we have numerous officers diligently investigating and following up on leads along with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police and we hope to bring these individuals to justice as soon as possible," he said.
For now, the investigation continues and police are urging you to be vigilant when shopping on craigslist and not come to Uniontown to make a purchase.

At the instance of researching your trainee loan combining data alternatives you have need of to study the William D Ford Direct Loan Plan.
The Direct loan system of rules began give or take a few 15 years ago and in reliable American property was utilised to resettle the transitional man, or else of having the banks, credit unions and other than insular businesses contribute jewels to students and their parents, the Federal elected representatives loans the dollars head-on.
Direct programs convergence in umpteen areas, the alternate legendary FFELP (Federal Family Education Loan Program), the latter is the word form for programs that hard work via cliquish lenders, since they copy in a few way the FFEL schemes, it is nitpicking for lenders to reference which system they impoverishment as both proffer Stafford and PLUS loans, Direct loans have kindred criteria for eligibility, they tally to a similar need-based guidelines, or have analogous gratitude supervise requirements for non-need-based services, providing analogous programs reported to a confusable normal raises a colloquial question, how to choose betwixt them?Post ads:

In component the finding involves picking out which of two types to use, both endow customer employ force to statement any questions, in a pious amount of cases the private lenders will be more supple and encouraging and the management more government officials or indifferent, linguistic process numerous of the forums, which can be accessed on-line could be the amended way to purchase more content almost which would select few case an individuals situation, with the swelling of national networks it has change state by a long chalk easier to get a different set of views and opinions, many of these views are supported little on clinical criteria than personal taste, reading the posts may in real time allow a being to make up one's mind which edge they favor.
More concrete differences concerning the two products do exist, in spite of this since FFELP loans are funded and repaired by close commercial enterprise institutions who you communicative a speech act line and could believably not be who you re-pay the loan to, it is a grassroots habit for lenders to re-sell loans to opposite businesses, security interest companies have been doing this all the time, you may have gone to the disturb to observe a loaner and their work you like, you could have definite over and preceding the charge and defrayment footing preferring their bargain hunter feature and later for archetype finding the loan has been oversubscribed to different business, you may now be repaying the debt to a ensemble you rejected, however in the circumstances of Direct loans since the Federal regime is the investor the loans are not sold to any tertiary entertainment.
The best caviling contrast to many relations will be the likelihood that rates, charges and refund position could disagree betwixt the two, properly the interest taxation of both Stafford and PLUS loans are fixed, all the same esoteric lenders have any flexibleness in opposite areas.Post ads:

The lenders could credibly responsibility or not cost inception and security charges (officially assessed at 3% and 1% reported to the Federal laws, which themselves are dynamical in the side by side few eld). Though the fees are standing in that the lender may concur to absorb them in instruct to get your business, they could credibly convert the dates on which excitement charges are calculated, or widen grace periods or stretch the re-payment time.
The single way to find out what is available is to outlet circa more as you would for any some other giving of debt and reason the full value of the loans, it is desperate to keep hold of this substance at extremity when considering any scholar loan combining content.

September 15, 2012. I will never forget that date. It is the day my now husband proposed. It was a beautiful late summer afternoon. The temperature was in the mid-80s. Warm but not too hot. He requested I wear a dress. I obliged and rocked some heels for good measure too. We got an early start and headed to one of my favorite NYC chill spots, Fort Tryon Park in upper Manhattan. We took pictures of each other, asked strangers to take pictures of us together, took pics of the gorgeous scenery, flirted, kissed, laughed and just enjoyed each other.
In hindsight, he must have been drowning in anxiety knowing what he was planning to do later in the day. [Read more…]

After a party loses badly in an election, there are always intramural battles about whose fault it was and what to do about it. The fight this year seems to feature Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Bill O'Reilly, and other media figures on the right vs. elected leaders and the people who run campaigns. Steve Schmidt, the person who de facto ran John McCain's presidential campaign, said the leadership needs to stand up against the extreme elements in the party who are leading it down the wrong path. He clearly meant Limbaugh, Ingraham, O'Reilly, and the others. They all shot back that there is nothing wrong with their principles, they just need a better salesman. Ingraham wrote on her blog about Republican candidates: "Do they now need to pander to minorities and update their platform to make it more appealing?" She answered her own question with a clear "no." Bill O'Reilly echoed Romney's "47% comment" when he said: "People feel that they are entitled to things." His solution is to tell them that they aren't entitled to things. It is going to be a long and bitter fight and could affect the 2014 elections, especially if it results in many primary fights.
In a nutshell, is the problem that there was something wrong with the message (what the Republican Party stands for) or was there something wrong with the messenger (Romney was not believable)? Until Republicans can figure that out, they are not going to be able to start working on a solution. Needless to say, changing the messenger will meet with a lot less resistance than changing the message. For many individual Republicans who were living inside the Fox News bubble and didn't see this coming, the reelection of President Obama, coupled with Democratic gains in the Senate and House, and the legalization of gay marriage and marijuana in several states, means the end of the country as they knew it. The feeling among many of them is that this is a watershed election, unlike, say, 1992, and there is no going back. It will take a while to adjust to it.
The lame duck congress will soon come back to deal with the automatic tax increases scheduled for pumpkin time on Dec. 31, as well as cuts to some programs that will kick in then. The media seem to delight in calling it a "fiscal cliff" and imply that going over it will be the biggest event on earth since a meteorite wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. It won't be. If a deal is made in early January rather than in December, no long-term damage will have been done
The easiest path might be to just wait until early January, after taxes have already gone up, and then pass a tax cut, one of the few things Congress is capable of doing, although there will be a lot of haggling over whose rates get cut, a process that has already started. If the Democrats and Republicans cannot agree on the nature of the tax cut, the economy could go into recession. Then the blame game becomes the key to the 2014 elections. If either side can firmly put the blame on the other one, they could win big in 2014. The Democrats probably have the edge here. They won the White House and picked up seats in both the Senate and House. That sounds like the voters prefer the Democrats' policies to the Republicans' and if the Republicans stonewall any attempt to solve the problem, they are likely to get the blame.
Nevertheless, both President Obama and Speaker Boehner would prefer a deal, either in December or in January, if need be.
The stories of very long lines at the polls in many states have gotten through to Congress. A number of members are beginning to think about how to normalize the process, to make sure people are not disenfranchised. It will be a long and difficult process, but one that will probably have public support if Congress tries.
Losing a presidential election is a huge blow to the candidate since he has invested 1-2 years in the project and has nothing to show for it. Nevertheless, candidates go on. Here is a short summary of what the post-WWII losers have done after their defeat.
|What came next
|Mitt Romney (R)
|John McCain (R)
|Went back to the Senate
|John Kerry (D)
|Went back to the Senate
|Al Gore (D)
|Got divorced, made a movie, won a Nobel Prize
|Bob Dole (R)
|Became national spokesman for Viagra
|George H.W. Bush (R)
|Worked on his presidential library
|Michael Dukakis (D)
|Became a professor at several universities
|Walter Mondale (D)
|Lawyer in private practice; later ambassador to Japan
|Jimmy Carter (D)
|Established the Carter Center to advance human rights, won Nobel Prize
|Jerry Ford (R)
|Created an institute at Albion college; sat on corporate boards
|George McGovern (D)
|Continued in the Senate until 1980; ran a hotel later
|Hubert Humphrey (D)
|Ran for the Senate in 1970, won, and served for 8 years
|Barry Goldwater (R)
|Ran for the Senate in 1968, won, and served 3 terms
|Richard Nixon (R)
|Pouted for 8 years, then was elected President in 1968
|Adlai Stevenson (D)
|Became Kennedy's ambassador to the United Nations
|Adlai Stevenson (D)
|Ran for President again in 1956
|Thomas Dewey (R)
|Continued as governor of New York for 6 years
What Romney will do next is uncertain. He doesn't need the money and at 65 he could just retire and play with his 18 grandchildren. He could serve on corporate boards. A return to public office seems very unlikely.

Ruffoni 10 piece Copper Opera cookware set Why Buy This One
Cooking is always fun to do, but it is even more enjoyable when you have the proper cookware sets. I know for me I use the Wolfgang Puck set, but I am always on the lookout for some of the great cookware sets which are available to buy. One that recently caught my eye is the Ruffoni 10 piece Copper Opera cookware set. Now this set is one that is rather expensive, but it is one I really like to see because of the sheer beauty present in these pieces. With this shear beauty it is rather easy for you to see why I want to get this set to have inside of my home for the proper settings for a large family meal.
Why Get The Ruffoni 10 Piece Copper Opera Cookware Set
Now, I have already touched on the beauty of these pieces, but this is not the main reason as to why you should get these pieces. The main reason you should get this set is the usefulness of this piece. By seeing how useful this piece is you will learn more about the great foods you can cook, but not have to worry about the pots or pans starting to look terrible. Without this type of usefulness you may have a set which will start to break down on you after it has been used multiple times.
Something else you will really like about these pieces is the great level they are crafted to. Now most of the cookware sets you will be able to get your hands on will be crafted by machines. However, the Ruffoni 10 piece copper opera cookware set is actually very well made and is even hand crafted. With this type of hand crafting you do not have to be concerned about this piece looking terrible or even having the exact same machine type stamping look.
Drawbacks of the Ruffoni 10 Piece Copper Opera Cookware Set
I am sure you have probably seen all the great positives of this copper cookware set, which are great. However, you are probably trying to figure out what kind of drawbacks can be seen in a set like this. Well, if you are like me you probably do not have a couple thousand bucks sitting around to buy the set all at once. This is the main drawback I have found with this set, but even then you can still piece the set together if you take your time and only buy a piece here and there. Other than the price, I have not really found any of the other types of drawbacks such as warping or failure of the pots like I have seen with other cookware sets.
The Choice Is Yours
The choice in cookware sets, though, will still be up to you. I know this is true for any items, but this decision can be hard for you to make. However, if you have the extra money, then you should look at the copper cookware sets to guarantee you select the proper one for you. Then you can finally cook all of your food at once and not have to be concerned about your food damaging your pots and pans or even them losing the great look they need to have.

Before BMX rider Jamie Bestwick could hop on his bike and spend time doing what he loves most, he had to go to work.
Starting at 16, Bestwick spent 12 years working various jobs to earn his living. He was a ceramic tiler, then worked at a chocolate factory and then at an airplane engine repair company. Back then, BMX was just a hobby — a part-time job, at best — that he couldn't get off his mind.
"Every day, I would go to work and I would work this job, but all I would sit there thinking about was riding my bike," said Bestwick, who will compete today at the Dew Tour Beach Championships in Ocean City.
Since those years of labor, Bestwick has become one of the most decorated athletes in BMX and the Dew Tour. Since the tour started in 2005, he has won every BMX Vert event, and the 42-year-old is vying for his 10th title in the competition's 10th year. Plus, Bestwick hasn't had to work a day job in 14 years, earning a comfortable living through his BMX career.
"To be helping BMX grow and go to these events and progress the sport, that's mission accomplished, as far as I'm concerned," Bestwick said. "There's never a day that goes by that I'm not grateful."
Bestwick still was working at the engine repair company when he won a bronze medal during his first X Games, in 1996. At the time, BMX wasn't enough to pay the bills. In 2000, when he was 28, he quit his job, devoting more time to his passion. That year, he won his first XGames gold medal, which began his dominance in BMX.
This month in Austin, Texas, Bestwick won his ninth straight BMX Vert gold medal in the X Games, his 14th medal of the competition. He has been unrivaled on the Dew Tour, with his success helping him become one of the faces of the event.
"Jamie Bestwick is a big part of the brand's heritage," Alli Sports president Eric Grilly, who leads the company that organizes the Dew Tour, said in an email. "His presence year after year sets a precedent that the Dew Tour attracts the world's best athletes."
The BMX Vert final will take place today as the last event of the weekend. Bestwick will be the oldest athlete competing in the Dew Tour as he faces and gets a chance to watch a younger generation of riders.
The youngest BMX athlete of the Dew Tour is 17-year-old BMX Park contestant Michael Varga. Bestwick said a part of him wants to see this new crop of riders become the face of the sport, but that doesn't diminish his desire for his 10th Dew Tour title.
"I love riding that competition so much that it's always something I've aspired to win every year," Bestwick said. "So to get that 10th, it would mean a lot."
Besides, thanks to competitions such as the Dew Tour, he doesn't have to work another job anymore to keep his BMX career afloat.
"I can go and I can compete against the best in the world," Bestwick said. "Now it's enough for me to not work that old job and keep living out my dream."

Cedar Plank Cooking
My November Contribution to the NWTC Newsletter is below. The "Legend of the Cedar Tree" was only a foggy memory, which I refreshed from Jim Fox (posted on several websites, like this one here) I paraphrased it from this, and my recollections.
I grill whenever I can because it's easy. I'm outside with a glass of wine, I don't have to worry about a mess, and there's a comfortable margin between well-done and rare, so I rarely get into trouble, unless I'm grilling tuna—then I use my watch. Last month, when I opened the bottom drawer to get the wire brush to scrape away the residue of my previous efforts, an opened pack of cedar planks fell out. I pulled out a plank and held it up to my nose, vaguely remembering a clumsy attempt at grilling salmon on a flaming piece of wood.
The smell of the cedar was faint, but distinct enough that it pushed opened a door in some long darkened hallway of memories, and I remembered Ouga. It's night. I'm sitting around a campfire with the rest of my Cub Scout den. The park ranger, who is part Cherokee, is telling a story from long ago. He's standing inside the circle of boys, next to the fire, glancing from the dancing flames to the young faces staring up at him, to the night sky, back to the fire, then to my eyes.
Many moons ago, he said, when the Cherokee people were first upon the earth, they thought it would be better if there was no night, and so they asked the Creator, called Ouga, if he would make it day all the time. Ouga heard their plea, and because he loved them, he made it so. Because the day was unending, without darkness, it became very hot, and the forest grew thick, and it became difficult to tend to the crops, and it was hard to sleep, and the people were not happy. So, the people thought how much better it might be if it were to be night all the time and they pleaded with Ouga to make it so. Because Ouga loved them, he made it so.
The night came. It grew very cold and the crops stopped growing. The people couldn't see in the darkness to hunt, and without food from hunting or harvesting, there was a great hunger, and many people died. Those that survived gathered together and cried out, "Forgive us, Ouga. We have made a mistake. You had already blessed us with the perfect balance of light and darkness in the beginning. Please make it as it was before, when day and night lived side by side. We beg you." Because Ouga loved them so, he forgave them, and made it so, returning the sun to the day and the moon and stars to the night.
The people grew strong again, and many in number. There was food to eat, and life was good. Ouga was happy to see his children happy, but he was sorry that so many had perished during the long, cold night; and so he gathered up their spirits and placed them in a newly created tree. He called the tree a-tsi-na-thu-gv, the cedar tree.
The park ranger walks through the ring of boys to a near-by cedar tree and cuts of a small limb with his knife. He walks back inside the circle and holds it up. He says, when you experience the aroma of the cedar tree, you are experiencing the ancient ancestors of the Cherokee people. He passes the branch to the nearest boy who smells it and passes it on. The branch is in my hands. The course, scaly foliage tickles my upper lip and I breathe deeply in. Fresh, sharp, fragrant; let there be light, separate the night from the day, and it was so, life everlasting in the aroma of cedar.
Forty years pass. I'm on my deck holding a dried plank of cedar in my hands, still with the scent of ancient ancestors past. I yell though the screen door to Sue, "I think I'm going to grill salmon tomorrow, on cedar planks."
"Better soak it this time."
"Yeah. I think I'll soak it in wine."

Increased media attention has given consumers a bigger understanding of the many devastating consquences that some of the store bought skincare products contain. Deodorants that have been linked to breast cancer and lymph node cancer because of their levels of aluminum and parabens. We are also hearing more about women who have problems getting pregnant because their hormone levels have been altered by ingredients such as artificial preservatives. Unfortuantely, many products use deceptive labelling to make it difficult to understand what you are truly buying. Products often state to be chemical free and paraben free, however, if you read the small print you may find that they can contain up to 5% of these ingredients - this is the maximum limit products can contain to legally state that they are free from these ingredients. The opposite is often true for ingredients that are beneficial to us. For example, a label may state that
its product contains a wonderful ingredient such as argan oil, however, if you read the fine print you often find that there is only a very small procentage of this in the actual product. Many advertising agenices are experts in making us believe we are buying something that is good for us when it is actually not.

The DUFF was actually one of the best debuts I read last year so Kody Keplinger has been an author I've been following for a while (I mean, she's only like 19 or something!) I couldn't wait to read her newest novel :)
Most high school sports teams have rivalries with other schools. At Hamilton High, it's a civil war: the football team versus the soccer team. And for her part, Lissa is sick of it. Her quarterback boyfriend, Randy, is always ditching her to go pick a fight with the soccer team or to prank their locker room. And on three separate occasions Randy's car has been egged while he and Lissa were inside, making out. She is done competing with a bunch of sweaty boys for her own boyfriend's attention.
Lissa decides to end the rivalry once and for all: she and the other players' girlfriends go on a hookup strike. The boys won't get any action from them until the football and soccer teams make peace. What they don't count on is a new sort of rivalry: an impossible girls-against-boys showdown that hinges on who will cave to their libidos first. And Lissa never sees her own sexual tension with the leader of the boys, Cash Sterling, coming.
Inspired by Aristophanes' play Lysistrata, critically acclaimed author of The Duff (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) Kody Keplinger adds her own trademark humor in this fresh take on modern teenage romance, rivalry and sexuality.
My Expectations: high but not extremely high. I wasn't really sure of the premise but it sounded really interesting
Delivery: I feel like the author has already cemented her own style within the YA genre, as in the addictingly readable contemp novels.
Put-down-ability: when I say compelling and addicting, I mean I can't put this down. 2/10
My Thoughts
Shut Out has a premise that makes you wonder how Keplinger thinks up some of these stuff (
I want to start with the stuff that makes the author memorable in a great way—writing style. I feel there's two types of 'readability', one where it's simple and straight-to-the-point, the other is a complex yet compelling in a way that you don't realize it's been 2 hours and you haven't stopped yet. The prose belongs in the latter and very much like I felt about The DUFF, it was so hard to put down.
And before I move on to anything else, I just want to point out that the friendships in this novel between Lissa and her friends and all the other frenemies/enemies-turned-friends, I felt the vibe of friendship, the silliness and exasperation and loyalty was all defined really well and definitely relatable. Both the good parts and bad parts of friendship was captured and I could definitely believe it. The romance however, was just average for me. I'm writing this review a few weeks after I finished the novel and I can barely remember who was involved, apart from the quarterback and some other really hot guy (too attractive? Maybe. Or maybe I just wanted another Westley…)
The plot is the sticky point for me, but it has a lot to do with personal preference than anything. Sex is a huge part of the novel both in exploring female empowerment and sexuality, and really, it's just not something I'm able to realistically identify with. My high school wasn't abound with everyone running around having sex (which in this book, it felt like that sometimes). I just remember feeling sometimes like "ohkayyy…. Does this really happen?" but again, just based on past precedent for me, I guess.
Rating in HP Terms: Acceptable
Recommended for: fans of more mature contemporary YA, it doesn't really have that upper-YA feel to it, but more like a YA book that deals with older themes
Acknowledgements: urm, I don't remember and I don't have a copy with me :p
8/10- because it was overall an extremely engaging and enjoyable read (wow, alliterate those 'e's, will ya?). I loved being able to be instantly pulled in by the writing style and unique plot. I thought the themes were relevant but sometimes the execution was lacking. It felt like Keplinger had to resort to semi-preaching at times to 'explain' or explore the whole battle of the sexes thing. However, at a general level, it was definitely a great book that I'd easily recommend.

MGM Makes Its Own Unexpected Journey
The Hobbit could put the studio on the fast track to an IPO | "I'm not going to bet against Peter Jackson"
Michael White
Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit enlisted to free a dwarf kingdom seized by a dragon, has two other tasks on his to-do list: Help restore Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's luster, and strengthen Time Warner's franchise lineup now that Harry Potter and Christopher Nolan's Batman have taken their final bows.
Advance sales and social media chatter for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey suggest the studios will get what they want (page 86). Co-produced by MGM and Warner Bros.' New Line Cinema, the film is forecast to generate at least $300 million in North American theaters after its Dec. 14 release, according to Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock. The first Lord of the Rings movie took in $313 million. The Hobbit could draw more if Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson, who is bringing J.R.R. Tolkien back to theaters after almost a decade, can attract an audience beyond hard-core Rings fans. Sales for the subsequent Hobbit films will likely increase, Bock says. "Three-hundred million dollars is the low end. It's possible people are really attracted to the 3D, and that might boost grosses, so the financial curve is there. I'm not going to bet against Peter Jackson."
A successful Hobbit could bolster the prospects of MGM Holdings, which last year said it was exploring going public. Chief Executive Officer Gary Barber is rebuilding the studio, which went bankrupt in 2010, around plans for three Hobbit movies and the James Bond series. The latest Bond picture, Skyfall, has generated almost $870 million at the box office worldwide for MGM and distributor Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Not all of MGM's investors — which include Highland Capital Management, Solus Alternative Asset Management, and Anchorage Capital Group — opted to go on this latest adventure. MGM bought back billionaire Carl Icahn's 25 percent stake in July for $590 million, a sum that values the company at $2.36 billion. A sale or initial public offering that fetches a higher valuation for the studio would vindicate that move. Barber won't discuss the prospect of an IPO.
MGM studio, maker of Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, has had a tumultuous recent history. Its finances have often been shaky, and its ownership has changed at least eight times since 1969, including three stints with billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian at the helm. Barber says that when the company emerged from a two-month streamlined bankruptcy in 2010, "the highest priority from a revenue-generating perspective was to get these two franchises [The Hobbit and James Bond] going." Now he's planning remakes of RoboCop and the 1976 horror classic Carrie.
For Warner Bros., being MGM's partner on The Hobbit represents a chance to replenish its lineup of so-called tentpole movies — films which lend themselves to sequels or spin-offs. Warner Bros. led the U.S. box office from 2007 to 2010, but slipped to second last year and is third so far in 2012, behind Sony and Walt Disney. In addition to The Hobbit, Warner Bros. is mining its DC Comics library to revive the Superman series and bring together several DC superheroes in 2015 for a joint adventure in Justice League, as Disney did last spring with the hit Marvel's the Avengers.
Researcher Bock based his Hobbit box office forecast on early reviews that indicate the slower pace of the new film may prevent the movie from attracting a broader audience. Of 23 reviews compiled so far on Rotten Tomatoes, 18 are positive.
The Hobbit also poses a test for Hollywood's new, faster projection technology, championed by Jackson as a way to add clarity, depth, and smoothness to 3D films, especially during action sequences. The technology, which involves projecting images onto the screen at a rate of 48 frames per second, double the industry standard, hit a glitch when a preview of unfinished scenes of The Hobbit at the CinemaCon industry convention in April drew unflattering press about the look of the format.
Studio executives say the kinks have since been worked out. Still, New Line is limiting the so-called high-frame-rate projection to about 450 of the 4,000 theaters in the U.S. and Canada that will carry the movie. "We wanted to get a good footprint out there, and at the same time we recognized that it was going to be a new format and we wanted to make sure everything was going to work properly," explains Darcy Antonellis, Warner's president of technical operations.
Cinemark Holdings, the third-largest U.S. theater chain, is capable of showing high-frequency 3D in all of its 461 locations but was allotted the new version in only 160, says CEO Tim Warner. While he would like to show the film on more screens, he understands New Line's go-slow approach. "It's a test of the audience," Warner says.
The bottom line MGM, which paid Carl Icahn $590 million last spring for his 25 percent stake, could use a big box office for The Hobbit to justify the deal.
