Buffett Takes Off the Gloves? He's Getting Worried.
Warren Buffett's politics have always been a surprise to first-time Berkshire observers. "How can a billionaire like that be such a liberal?" is almost always one of the questions I get after a speech, or before a speech, or during a speech, about Buffett.
31 comments:

WSJ estimates it would bring in $40-50 billion in annual revenue. Only $1.45 trillion more to go to balance the budget!
- Adam said...
I realize this is a bit of a naive question / tangential to the point, but why is Buffett even paying $6.9M in income taxes? His total comp from BRK is listed at roughly $525k. BRK doesn't pay a dividend. If his tax rate is 17.4% that implies almost $40M of income.
- Jeff Matthews said...
Adam, not naive: a lot of people don't realize Buffett has a personal portfolio (outside of his BRK holdings) in the $1B+ area.
In the past he has bought stocks and assets too small for Berkshire--his famous Korean investments a decade or so ago, for example.
And when he wrote "Buy America, I Am" in the NY Times in October 2008, he was referring to his personal account holdings.
So $40 million of income on $1 billion+ in stocks/bonds is a good guess.
And, yes, Anonymous: it wouldn't exactly close the gap, would it?
- Anonymous said...
You first, Warren. The U.S. Treasury does accept donations. If he pays too little in taxes, he's free to pay more voluntarily. It would be nice to see Buffett lead by example. Also, let's keep in mind that he benefits from at least one portion of the current tax code. How many times has he written about purchasing lovely family businesses at more than fair prices so that the owners can avoid the estate-tax hit?
- Anonymous said...
Interesting from a guy who has enjoyed the benefits of the US tax system (unrealized capital gains and the insurance company's float!) and who gave all his wealth to a charity...now when he is the richest man in the world he wants everyone to pay more. He can write a big check to the US government at any time he wants. Equal opportunity versus equal outcomes - he grew up in a time of equal opportunity and now he wants to ruin it. Shame on you!
- Anonymous said...
Every dollar of increased revenue for the government will help. There is no "magic wand" we can wave. We should also withhold Social Security taxes from all income, not just the first $105,800 of income. Close the loopholes wich allow profitable American corporations to pay ZERO income taxes to Uncle Sam.
Trying to solve the debt crisis without increasing revenues is putting one hand behind your back. It will not work.
Remember, Social Security and Medicare did not generate the current financial disaster, Bush Tax cuts and unnecessary war in IRAQ did, along with regulatory incompetence by Bush appointees.
There is no question that expense reductions are necessary, also.
Warren Buffet deserves our thanks for his intelligence and courage to speak out for America through the fog of TEA Party and GOP ideology. He is a known problem-solver with his heart in the right place.
- Anonymous said...
I think our tax code needs to be totally changed. We should not tax income or corporations. We should tax consumption above a certain subsistence level and wealth. And the tax on wealth should be progressive. Then Warren could have his wish because he and Gates would be paying more taxes than anyone else in the country.
- Anonymous said...
"Do as I say not as I do". Why doesn't Buffett just pay more money in taxes, no one is stopping him.
- Windchasers said...
Sure, Buffett could up his own personal rate.. but paying an additional 20% would increase federal revenues only $8 million. One person making a moral stand won't do much, which is why we try to change the system.
Or couldn't we just say "well, if you think SS and Medicare need budget cuts, why don't *you* accept less of their benefits?" Even Ayn Rand partook of the gov't program that she was forced to pay into.
- Jeff Matthews said...
Hmmmm... Anonymous #2 hit the nail squarely on the head (echoed by Anons #3 and #5). i.e. Buffett is free to pay a higher personal tax rate any time he likes.
And as we pointed out in "Secrets in Plain Sight," and rightfully noted by Anonymous #2, Buffett has in fact advertised the tax advantage for family businesses selling to Berkshire for stock, in order to "defer taxes indefinitely," in the Berkshire annual report. You could look it up, as they say.
Anonymous #4 is the least value-add of the lot, with a partisan agenda that sounds straight from the DNC playbook. We play no political favorites here: markets don't care about your party affiliation.
If Anon #4 wants to agree with Buffett, make the case with data, not dogma.
- Trent said...
If the Bush tax cuts were reversed, then we get $200 bn tax revenue per year.
Higher tax for the rich is good for business at this time, i.e., it is good for growth. It's counter intuitive. Buffett is calling for it because it will help his business, not necessarily out of the goodness of his heart. But his policy prescription is absolutely spot on. Smart guy.
You guys should go read Keynes. It's econ 101 stuff. Do some homework please!
- Anonymous said...
Jeff, do you think that Buffett´s last year piece on the NYT kind of meant that he was bulish and trying to predict that the economy was starting to get much better (I mean, does anyone buy that whole Bernanke praise thing?)?
Also, does BRK´s issuing 2B worth of debt last week signals that Buffett is rushing to take cash out of the market before things get uglier?
Meanwhile, it looks like Brazil´s bubble is about to burst, as can be seen by car companies huge inventory levels, as well as economic indicators signaling a slow down as well as the quotes from the guys below:
Unilever: "Second quarter performance in Brazil was constrained by actions taken to reduce trade stocks"
Abilio Diniz, chairman of one of Brazil´s largest supermarket chains: "As months pass by, we notice an increasing difficulty to sell"
- But What do I Know? said...
Any time I find myself agreeing with Warren Buffett's op-eds I wish there was an 800 number I could call to talk me out of it. While the current screed is timed to help his buddy Obama, and while the people who have commented here that WB is free to write a check to the Treasury are spot on, the undercurrent of his remarks are interesting. As you pointed out Jeff, he is reminding his fellow super-rich that they have the most to lose from social upheaval (because they have the most)--and I think he is right on that score.
That's why they instituted the social programs in the first place, after all.
- Anonymous said...
I don't understand the cries of "he can pay more tax if he wants to". One guy cannot make a dent in government finances no matter how rich he may be. It would only make a difference if every single one his Forbes 400 peers followed on a voluntary basis, every year, which would never happen.
- Anonymous said...
"You first, Warren. The U.S. Treasury does accept donations."
You're missing the point. If he did that, others still would not... they are weasels who would avoid until compelled.
- Anonymous said...
Buffets opinion piece sounds like PR for the rich. What is his point of the suferring of poor fighting wars? Can rich match this suffering with taxes? why publish in NY Times? Preaching to choir. Where does he spend his money to truly influence politics? He is not liberal version of Koch or Coors families.
- TradingStrategyLetter - Weekly Summary said...
More insanity. It never seens to end nowaday. Many of the 'tax breaks' that Buffet has utilized are designed for critical R&D, targetted investment, and industrial development incentive. That is money which goes directly to those 'real' job creating companies & not the bleeding heart wealth redistributing spenders in Washington. Warren needs to give himself a slap!
- VennData said...
The 'Why doesn't he pay more if he wants' is the GOP media talking point, which commetors find they must remind us, as a 'logical' conclusion.
But Buffett is trying to solve the problem. And this 'why not just pay' retort is sheer sophistry, as is the author's claim that everone' first question is 'why is Buffett a liberal?' Buffett ia a moderate and he is smater than you.
But adding a straw man line and then concluding Buffett's worried is the height of sophistry. Buffett is and has been the biggest 'America will always do great' proponent.
When a right winger like Jeff Mathews who has been so doom and gloom, and wrong, wants to take a shot after stock market correction, he'll even sell out the man whose coattails he rides.
- Anonymous said...
now when he is the richest man in the world he wants everyone to pay more.
"Everyone" makes over $1m a year?
Thanks for stopping by, Rush.
- rcyran said...
The replies that "Buffett can always increase his payment to Treasury" are missing his point.
This is similar to living in a group house where nobody is doing much cleaning. So it's a disgusting sty.
Doing your own dishes doesn't make the situation better, and doing more than your fair share just makes you a sucker (and isn't enough to make the house clean).
Everybody might be better off doing a bit more cleaning.
Nobody likes paying taxes. But I think raising rates and reducing deductions will be needed to balance the budget.
PS- Jeff, do you think his worry could be for other reasons than fear that the population is losing faith in the system? seems like Buffett is under fire on multiple fronts (Sokol, finite reinsurance, support for rating agencies etc.)
- Jeff Matthews said...
VennData apparently is not a steady reader of these virtual pages. His "doom and gloom" remark indicates he never read, for example, "Meet the New Normal, Same as the Old Normal" back in April 2010, and other likewise optimistic musings, back when the world was, indeed, "doom and gloom," and we were highlighting good news that wasn't making the front pages of whatever newspapers or websites on VennData's RSS feed. Nor do his other random shots add any value to the discussion--although we give him credit for not posting as "Anonymous," which is usually the name under which the least intelligible rants/comments come.
Trent cites Keynes with a glass-half-full notion that raising taxes on productive individuals to fund unproductive government programs will somehow "be good for growth." We point out that Keynesian economics has failed thus far in the cycle.
Anonymous #6 quotes some very interesting conference call quotes out of Brazil, which has several ingredients of a bubble about to burst: an inverted yield curve, tightening monetary policy and high interest rates, all intended to dampen a strong currency. We thank him for those and point to a recent interview with the Unilever CEO in the WSJ regarding the state of affairs in the USA, too.
Anonymous #7 asks why anyone would say "why Buffett doesn't just pay more taxes himself?", since it wouldn't make a dent in the deficit. The point, we think, is simple: if Buffett really wants the super-rich to pay more, why doesn't he start doing it? It's the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do syndrome, and it sticks in peoples' craws.
Anonymous #9 is incoherent: we have no idea what the point is. Please make a point next time.
RCRyan, on the other hand, draws a very coherent analogy to explain Buffett's tax-raising sentiment (it is a very simple, Buffett-esque analogy, too). And while we disagree with him (we agree with the "why doesn't he just do it himself?" side of the debate), but thank him for a well-made point.
RCRyan then asks whether Buffett's fear may be deeper than simply being afraid of consumers losing faith in the system--that perhaps it relates to other issues that have Buffett playing defense.
I'd say, no--it really is a fear about the economy hitting stall speed as savers retrench. I'd guess he's afraid that the Fed has been pushing on a string (after $1 trillion in Keynesian fiscal stimulus and $600 billion-plus in debt-monetization the economy is stalled at a low altitude), and if savers decide their money is safer under the mattress, the economy can go into a 1930's style collapse.
That's what I think this is about. His inherent optimism makes it unlikely he really believes that would happen, but he's worried...otherwise he wouldn't be writing about it.
- Anonymous said...
I think that if Warren has extra money that he believes would be better off in the Govts. hands, he should instead use that capital as a VC fund to create new companies that will develop new goods and services, businesses that employ people and create new jobs. A much better use of capital than pissing it away on Govt. programs, and will likely create new wealth....
- wroclaw said...
All right, Buffett is a hypocrite. Period. Now what about his message: 17% < 31% (read: super rich are suboptimally taxed)? True or false?
- Worried said...
$200 billion a year from retiring the Bush tax cust still only gets you $2 trillion over the next decade, when you really need to cut about $12 trillion to keep debt levels from becoming unsupportable in the event short-term interest rates ever return to levels consistent with a sustainable and healthy long-term economy (e.g. about 4%).
We'd all better get used to the idea that more of us will see a UFO than retire on Social Security and Medicare. And the Chinese will continue to spend heavily on Defense, so that we will have to as well, trying to bankrupt us like we did to the Russians.
Not happy times in the Land Of The Free.
- Kyle said...
I'm no genius but it would seem to me that moderation would be the key to, well, almost everything. I would say that capitalism and socialism act like the throttle and brakes on any economy, respectively. You can't pin the throttle and expect things to turn out well just as standing on the brakes does nothing productive. To me dropping the corporate tax rate to something in line with other developed countries while raising personal rates would seem to be a step in the right direction. You want unbridled capitalism go to Somalia. You want the ultimate in social welfare and safety nets, look at communist Russia. So where's the moderation. Look to most of europe before they forgot how to balance a checkbook. BTW this blog and Bronte are read daily by me because of their quality and if I may suggest theoildrum is the energy side equivalent to this blog.
- Anonymous said...
I still don't get it. He could raise his personal tax rate to 100% and it would plug the deficit for about 5 minutes. He could donate his entire net worth to the Treasury and it would make us whole for about two weeks. And nobody would follow him. People will only follow him if they have to, because tax rates increased. You can debate Buffett on whether higher taxes is good policy, but the idea of him paying more by himself is silly. It won't do a lick of good; he knows it won't; and he's not stupid enough to do it.
- Jeff Matthews said...
It's called putting your money where your mouth is.
- Anonymous said...
It appears that a lot of people think that Buffet's proposal is bunk since he doesn't "put money where his mouth is". Seems like a cheap way to avoid commenting on the actual merit of the proposal while taking a shot at the person making the proposal.
As far as That feeling can create its own reality, considering that the disparity between upper and lower class in this country is considerably higher than just about any other industrial country and even a few autocratic hellholes, Buffet might be thinking about long term consequences as well. It won't be a revolution, but the potential unrest will surely affect everyone, from small shop owner to a multi-billion hedge fund.
- Anonymous said...
Why not restructure the tax system. Everyone pay 10% no deductions and a 5% sales tax. NO DEDUCTIONS PERIOD!!! Freeze government hiring until the budget is balanced. Eliminate redundant federal jobs. Remove the troops from Afghanistan. Completely restructure education. Fire all the idiotic professors and hire retired engineers, entrepreneurs, etc who have worked in the private sector who have real knowledge about making money and hard work. Return responsibility to the individual. No government handout without first having some type of job. Legalize marijuana. Don't send no one to prison for using drugs. Fine them. Those who are in prison, put them to work doing hard labor. All this is just common sense. Something that is missing with our politicians. Professing to be wise, they have becomes fools!!!!
- Unknown said...
Buffet has put his money where his mouth is. He has donated most of his fortune to the Gates foundation. I know we are talking income here, so a similar argument is that all people who want to cut entitlements hate old people. You want to cut Medicare; therefore, you don't like old people that use it. This of course cheapens your policy discussion, ignores facts, and simplifies all your arguments to appeal to base emotions. The counter is also true. Buffet can have valid arguments for tax policy without writing a check to the treasury that he doesn't owe under law. It cheapens your argument to say that he doesn't.
- Jeff Matthews said...
1. "Don't send no one to prison for using drugs"? Please spell-check before posting.
2. As for the outright rants, they are not being posted here, no matter what side they take. If you commented and it does not appear, you have used what we call "Yahoo message-board" type language, which means abbreviations, misspellings and language you wouldn't say to your mother.
3. As for "Unknown" who says Buffett has indeed 'put his money where his mouth is' by donating his fortune to the Gates charity, we would say otherwise, since by doing so, Buffett--and this is merely stating a fact, not, as "Unknown" appears to believe, taking a political point of view on the matter--is avoiding the biggest inheritance tax bill in world history, which is yet another example of his not doing what he tells others to do. (Buffett has testified before Congress in support of the inheritance tax.)
Readers wishing to see a more detailed look at both sides of this issue (Buffett and taxes), without the cable TV-type talking head yelling and screaming, should read "Secrets in Plain Sight: Business and Investing Secrets of Warren Buffett."

Tragic: Officer Trapped In Burning Cruiser Dies
The Daily Mail via YellowBrix
August 01, 2011
WINSTON-SALEM, NC – A North Carolina police officer frantically called for help as he lay trapped in his burning patrol car after losing control as he drove to help a fellow officer who was following a possible drunken driver, it has been revealed.
Russell Willingham, 28, radioed for assistance after he crashed into a tree in Winston-Salem early yesterday morning and told operators that he was stuck inside his car.
Shortly afterwards, he made a final call to tell dispatchers that his patrol car had caught on fire. By the time rescuers arrived at the scene, the car was engulfed in flames.
Police said that Mr Willingham died at the scene. His car went off the road and down an embankment at around 3:15am.
'Officer Willingham was able to call and advise that he was pinned in the vehicle,' police chief Scott Cunningham said.
'Police and other emergency services had some difficulty in locating Officer Willingham at first due to him being completely off the road and not visible from the roadway, he said.
'After all the years, I still cannot find the words to tell the family that I am so sorry.'
Mr Cunningham said that Mr Willingham was heading to assist a fellow officer after a suspected drunk driver nearly hit another vehicle.
Police are investigating how the accident happened. It is not known why Mr Willingham lost control of the car.
Mr Willingham, who is originally from Massachusetts and leaves behind a wife, joined the police department in August 2009.
Before that, he worked in the Greensboro police department for two years. Flags have been lowered to half-staff at the police station.
'I do ask that the community remember him, especially his family, and the rest of the Winston-Salem Police Department in their prayers during this very trying time,' Mr Cunningham said.

S Gerald Sensabaugh retires with Dallas Cowboys, where he spent last half of 8-year career
IRVING, Texas – Gerald Sensabaugh is retiring with the Dallas Cowboys after spending the last half of an eight-year career with them.
The safety signed a one-day contract with the Cowboys on Thursday. He was released for salary cap reasons in March.
The 29-year-old Sensabaugh started 84 of 112 games for Jacksonville and Dallas. He had 14 interceptions and 469 tackles.
Sensabaugh was a fifth-round pick by the Jaguars in 2005 out of North Carolina. His best season came with the Cowboys in 2010, when he had career highs of five interceptions and 10 pass breakups. He also had the only two sacks of his career that year.
He appeared in three playoff games — one with Jacksonville as a rookie in 2005 and two with Dallas in 2009.

In fact, the material in question is graphene oxide and researchers at Rice University (Texas) and Lomonosov Moscow State University have found that it can rapidly remove radioactive material from water From the Jan. 8, 2013 news item on ScienceDaily,
A collaborative effort by the Rice lab of chemist James Tour and the Moscow lab of chemist Stepan Kalmykov determined that microscopic, atom-thick flakes of graphene oxide bind quickly to natural and human-made radionuclides and condense them into solids. The flakes are soluble in liquids and easily produced in bulk.
The Rice University Jan. 8, 2013 news release, which originated the news item, was written by Mike Williams and provides additional insight and quotes from the researchers (Note: Links have been removed),
The discovery, Tour said, could be a boon in the cleanup of contaminated sites like the Fukushima nuclear plants damaged by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. It could also cut the cost of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") for oil and gas recovery and help reboot American mining of rare earth metals, he said.
Graphene oxide's large surface area defines its capacity to adsorb toxins, Kalmykov said. "So the high retention properties are not surprising to us," he said. "What is astonishing is the very fast kinetics of sorption, which is key."
"In the probabilistic world of chemical reactions where scarce stuff (low concentrations) infrequently bumps into something with which it can react, there is a greater likelihood that the 'magic' will happen with graphene oxide than with a big old hunk of bentonite," said Steven Winston, a former vice president of Lockheed Martin and Parsons Engineering and an expert in nuclear power and remediation who is working with the researchers. "In short, fast is good."
Here's how it works (from the news release; Note: Links have been removed),
The researchers focused on removing radioactive isotopes of the actinides and lanthanides – the 30 rare earth elements in the periodic table – from liquids, rather than solids or gases. "Though they don't really like water all that much, they can and do hide out there," Winston said. "From a human health and environment point of view, that's where they're least welcome."
Naturally occurring radionuclides are also unwelcome in fracking fluids that bring them to the surface in drilling operations, Tour said. "When groundwater comes out of a well and it's radioactive above a certain level, they can't put it back into the ground," he said. "It's too hot. Companies have to ship contaminated water to repository sites around the country at very large expense." The ability to quickly filter out contaminants on-site would save a great deal of money, he said.
He sees even greater potential benefits for the mining industry. Environmental requirements have "essentially shut down U.S. mining of rare earth metals, which are needed for cell phones," Tour said. "China owns the market because they're not subject to the same environmental standards. So if this technology offers the chance to revive mining here, it could be huge."
Tour said that capturing radionuclides does not make them less radioactive, just easier to handle. "Where you have huge pools of radioactive material, like at Fukushima, you add graphene oxide and get back a solid material from what were just ions in a solution," he said. "Then you can skim it off and burn it. Graphene oxide burns very rapidly and leaves a cake of radioactive material you can then reuse."
The low cost and biodegradable qualities of graphene oxide should make it appropriate for use in permeable reactive barriers, a fairly new technology for in situ groundwater remediation, he said.
Romanchuk, Slesarev, Kalmykov and Tour are co-authors of the paper with Dmitry Kosynkin, a former postdoctoral researcher at Rice, now with Saudi Aramco. Kalmykov is radiochemistry division head and a professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University. Tour is the T.T. and W.F. Chao Chair in Chemistry as well as a professor of mechanical engineering and materials science and of computer science at Rice.
Here's a 'before' shot of solution with graphene oxide and an 'after' shot where radionuclides have been added and begun to clump,
As noted in the ScienceDaily news item, the research has been published in the Royal Society's Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics journal,
Anna Yu. Romanchuk, Alexander Slesarev, Stepan N. Kalmykov, Dmitry Kosynkin, James M Tour. Graphene Oxide for Effective Radionuclide Removal. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2012; DOI: 10.1039/C2CP44593J

The Bulldogs (5-2, 4-2 division) started out well, but suffered a 61-54 loss at Pekin Friday and have lost two of three within the division, SUMYCIN pics. They have one chance to go into the Christmas break with some momentum, Buy SUMYCIN without prescription, but it won't come easily when Iowa Mennonite School visits Tuesday. The loser could be on its way to a good-but-not-great season in the division.
• The Notre Dame girls are not yet ready for primetime. The talent is there, but the disciplined play is not, SUMYCIN FOR SALE. The Nikes turn the ball over too much, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, many times unforced. Generic SUMYCIN, They tend to play a lot faster than what they are used to, and at times, it borders on reckless, my SUMYCIN experience. The South Division title is probably not in play anymore after losing to Central Lee 72-60 on Friday. SUMYCIN brand name, A drop out of the Class 1A rankings could be on the way as well. SUMYCIN FOR SALE, Not much is seperating the Nikes from either Van Buren or Central Lee, but what does is critical: those two teams are poised at crunch time.
• The Central Lee girls are flying under the radar. The Lady Hawks are one bad quarter from leading the rugged South Division. They have solid post play, SUMYCIN from canada, excellent guard play and don't do anything fancy. SUMYCIN used for, They win games unspectacularly, but effectively.
• The Burlington boys are getting better. It's not showing up in the win-loss column, SUMYCIN for sale, but their last two losses have been by a total of seven points, SUMYCIN schedule, including a 51-48 loss to Davenport North at the buzzer Friday. The Grayhounds are 1-4, but could be 3-2, SUMYCIN FOR SALE. Considering that there isn't a lot in the way of experience, there are some things to look forward to in the new year, australia, uk, us, usa.
• Here comes West Burlington. It was just a matter of time, After SUMYCIN, right. The Lady Falcons started 0-2, but are now 4-2 and putting themselves into the South Division battle, SUMYCIN over the counter. They are getting back to what worked last year — balanced scoring, great guard play and excellent rebounding. SUMYCIN FOR SALE, True, the teams they've beaten during a four-game winning streak are a combined 7-24, but this isn't a team that I'd want to face in January and beyond. They have a huge test at Van Buren Tuesday just to see how far they've come.
• The Mediapolis girls are getting no respect. And it's a shame because they are winning with some scoring, but a ton of defense. They play in the mediocre North Division, and most believed they were the runaway favorite in the preseason. It's shaping up that way. The comparisons to the top South Division teams are unfair — to the South Division, SUMYCIN FOR SALE. Van Buren and Central Lee, the top two teams in that division, have beaten just two teams with a winning record. Mediapolis, on the other hand, has five wins against teams at or above .500. When you're ranked as a top-10 team in the state, you must be doing good things. People can compare all they want, but I will wait until the end of the season to make a decision on their legitimacy, because all those marquee games will come late in the year and in the postseason.

National Novel Writing Month Powers Up with Half a Million Writers
October 16, 2013 12:38 am
Berkeley, Calif. --- www.NaNoWriMo.org --- In its 15th year, National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) expects a historic 500,000 writers to join the largest writing event in the world. The challenge? To write 50,000 words of a novel in the 30 days of November. Half a million people on all seven continents (including one very chilly writer at Antarctica's McMurdo Station) will set aside the time to write their stories this November.
Through the Young Writers Program, NaNoWriMo will also provide free resources and curriculum to more than 80,000 students and educators in 2,000 classrooms around the world. Additionally, 692 volunteer Municipal Liaisons will host write-ins and events in 500 regions around the world. For a full list of their regions click here.
"NaNoWriMo is an unbeatable way to write the first draft of a novel because it's such a powerful antidote to that horrible foe of creativity: self-doubt," said Grant Faulkner, Executive Director. "NaNoWriMo is a rollicking conversation about all aspects of writing, and an invitation to dare to do what seems impossible. As many NaNoWriMo writers have discovered, the best way to learn to write a novel is by simply plunging in to write a novel."
NaNoWriMo 2013: New and Powered-Up
NaNoWriMo version 2013 boots up as an 8-bit adventure that encourages writers to "Power Up Your Story. Power Up Your Voice." This year's art comes courtesy of Jake Fleming, cofounder of Piasa Games.
NaNoWriMo 2013 also offers a newly-designed website. "We've redesigned our site to be more intuitive for both new and experienced users: it will guide them through the entire NaNoWriMo journey from start to finish. We've also integrated a responsive layout for phones and tablets, so writers can be inspired anywhere," says Chris Angotti, Director of Programs.
The 2013 Published Author Line-Up
An incredible line-up of authors will support writers participating in NaNoWriMo with letters full of wisdom and encouragement. These Pep Talkers includes James Patterson, Lev Grossman, and Rainbow Rowell, who wrote the first draft of her critically-acclaimed YA novel, Fangirl, during NaNoWriMo 2012. For a full list of pep talkers click here.
NaNoWriMo 2013 will also have five published authors take over its Twitter account as NaNoWriMo Coaches, answering questions and cheering on participants as they write, including Jason Hough, author of the New York Times bestseller The Darwin Elevator, first drafted during NaNoWriMo.
Expanded Programs
For the first time, Come Write In, a program that offers free resources and support to literacy-related spaces, will expand beyond libraries and bookstores. Three-hundred and ninety spaces, including cafes and community centers (and even an American-style pizza restaurant in Japan), will become local beacons for creative writing through NaNoWriMo.
Debbie Millman, president of the design division at Sterling Brands, returns to run "30 Covers, 30 Days," which challenges designers to create a book cover for a participant's novel-in-progress in 24 hours. A celebration of the collaboration between design and writing, this program will inspire authors and provide prints for an Art of NaNoWriMo event in winter 2014.
National Novel Writing Month is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes stories matter. Through our programs, including the Young Writers Program, the Come Write In program, and Camp NaNoWriMo, we work hard to empower and encourage vibrant creativity around the world.

A hurried driver looks over his shoulder as he tries to merge onto the freeway, failing to notice traffic stopped ahead of him. He plows his van into the back of a tractor-trailer.
A Chevrolet Prizm slams into the side of a tractor-trailer as it makes a U-turn from the opposite direction at a traffic signal while both vehicles have the green light.
The driver of a logging truck sees a Ford Explorer coming toward him in his lane on a rural, undivided highway. Both vehicles move into the other lane at the last minute and crash head-on.
All of these examples were taken from a federal database of truck crashes, and each resulted in the death of the passenger vehicle driver. In the first, the outcome may well have been different if the truck had been equipped with a stronger rear underride guard such as those already on some trailers. In the second two crashes, which involved the side of one large truck and the front of the other, potential solutions exist, but they aren't as readily available.
Crashes involving the rear of a large truck account for about one-fifth of fatal underride cases, Institute researchers found in 1997. Another fifth are side crashes, while the majority are frontal ones. Unlike front and side underride, rear underride fatalities are often preventable, and there is a framework in place to address the problem.
"We already have a regulation on rear underride guards, so we should make sure that regulation is effective," says Matthew Brumbelow, an IIHS senior research engineer.
Still, with so many underride crashes involving the fronts and sides of large trucks, should guards surround trucks completely?
In side crashes, underride guards have the potential to save lives. An IIHS analysis of crashes in which passenger vehicles hit the side of large trucks found that out of 143 crashes in which the truck side impact produced the most severe injury, more than half would not have been as severe if there had been side underride guards on the truck.
For side guards to work, several hurdles would have to be overcome. For one thing, many trailers have sliding axles that can be adjusted depending on the load, making it difficult to position a side guard so that it won't interfere with the wheels. In addition, side guards that are strong enough to prevent underride would add a lot of extra mass to a trailer — much more than a rear guard, which doesn't have to cover as big an area — and in the trucking industry, any additional pounds can affect the bottom line.
The European Union requires side guards, but they are intended to protect only pedestrians and bicyclists. Because of this, they are much weaker and lighter than they would need to be to protect people in passenger vehicles.
Front underride guards, which are required in the EU to protect vehicle occupants in crashes with combined speeds of about 35 mph, also might prevent some deaths. An earlier Institute study of fatal truck crashes in Indiana found that 9 out of 44 front underride crashes might have been survivable in the absence of underride (see "FARS undercounts fatal large truck-car underride crashes," Feb. 15, 1997).
However, in most of the crashes studied, front underride guards would not have changed the outcome. In crashes involving a passenger vehicle and the front of a large truck, the truck is typically moving toward the other vehicle. The enormous difference in mass between a tractor-trailer and a car, SUV or pickup means that there is a high probability such a crash will be fatal at even moderate speeds, underride or no underride.
IIHS crash tested eight trailers to see if their underride guards could stop a car from sliding underneath. Only one passed the toughest test, a 30 percent overlap.

Nathaniel Daniels, 1719-1799
Nathaniel, the son of John and Elliner Daniels was born in Milton, Massachusetts in 1719. He married Ann Grosvenor in 1741 in Pomfret, Connecticut. They had 11 children before Ann died in 1762. Nathaniel had two more marriages and outlived all three wives.
Nathaniel was seventeen years old when his family moved to Pomfret, which was a prosperous township. "Trumpets sounded the approach of the coaches that stopped with a flourish before the Inns on their way between New York and Boston. Buisness was good. It was a coming town" (Daniels-Daniells Family, Volume 2, p. 57). He is referred to as a "cloathe dresser and a clotherier." In 1761, Nathaniel was made a Lieutenant in the 11th Regiment of Connecticut and served in the Indian wars. In 1762 he was made a Captain.
Nathaniel moved to Worthington, Massachusetts, in 1768, the year it was incorporated. He built the first frame house in town. At the first town meeting, which was held in his house, Capt. Nathaniel Daniels was chosen one of the Wardens. He was a tavern keeper and took an active part in the affairs of the town. He was a selectman in 1770, 1773, 1775, and 1780.
At first there were no roads. Travel was entirely by blazed trail, and distances to neighbors were great and difficult. Quilting was a favorite social event, but the pioneer women had to bake a supply to last their family for three days, farm the baby out with a neighbor, spend one day going, one quilting, and one returning. The first road was laid out so as to connect with the Chesterfield road and running west until it reached the place where stood the Inn of Alexander Miller. Subsequently, this road was changed so as to lead directly from "The Corners" to the Inn of Capt. Nathaniel Daniels. This change was made by the town so as to prevent any travel by the house of Alexander Miller who favored the cause of Great Britain and to secure the same to Captain Nathaniel Daniels who was a zealous patriot. The second road to Chester passes Daniel's Inn. (The History of Worthington by James C. Rice)
On June 28, 1774 word reach Worthington of an embargo on shipping in Boston. Nathaniel was one of five members of the town Committee of Correspondence established to communicate with the committees in Boston. (Dr. Thomas Young was also involved in this activity (see the Winegars in the 1700s post dated June 30, 2009). Following the battles at Lexington and Concord, Nathaniel and his son Nathaniel, Jr. (our ancestor), marched as minutemen as privates in Capt. Ebenezer Weber's Company to Cambridge. Nathaniel Sr.'s term is recorded as one month and five days, his son's as 24 days. Short enlistments were the norm during this time but seriously hindered the cause of the colonies in the Revolutionary War.
Josiah Gilbert Holland's history of Western Massachusetts, published in 1855, provides interesting details of life in Worthington during the time that Nathaniel was actively involved in the war effort.
In 1780, a requisition made upon the town for horses, found the people without the required number, and even then they voted to give the security of the town for the price of the horses, if they could be found elsewhere. Between 1779 and 1782, such was the number of men in the army that not more than ten or twelve men, out of more than seventy families living in the town, attended the church on the Sabbath.
Nathaniel later is recorded as serving under Lt. Constant Weber's Company for 12 days during the Battle of Bennington.
After the war, Nathaniel sold his land and moved to a place near Albany. He sold his land for continental currency which became worthless, and, at one point, both Nathaniel Sr. and Nathaniel Jr. were threatened with debtor's prison. There were thousands of other people with similar problems, including one Winegar ancestor, which led to Shay's Rebellion. Nathaniel was not a part of this rebellion but remained bitter about the experience. He made his sons promise never to take pensions from the government, and apparently they never did.
In 1783 Nathaniel moved to Rutland, Vermont, where he lived for the remainder of his life. He died in 1799.
Nathaniel Daniels, Jr., 1742-1830
Nathaniel Daniels, Jr., son of Nathaniel and Ann, was born in 1742 at Pomfret, Connecticutt. He married Esther Lee at Thompson, Connecticutt, in 1762, and they had 11 children. The fourth son, William (born in 1775) was our ancestor.
As mentioned above, Nathaniel Jr. served as a minuteman in the Battle of Cambridge. Following the Revolutionary War and the financial collapse of the continental currency, he and his father were sued and threatened with debtor's prison. They satisfactorily paid off all their debts.
Nathaniel died in 1830 in Saratoga County, New York. He left a will that mentioned his wife and nine children. Presumably, two of the eleven children were deceased or otherwise left unmentioned.

I-229 Road Work May Cause Delays
You may have seen the electronic signs warning of work on the interstate. And as the work week gets back into full swing drivers will find some delays on I-229 in Sioux Falls. The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) reports that work will begin on the bridge that crosses the Big Sioux River on I-229. Crews will start Tuesday evening at 8:00 PM and continue for a while. From SDDOT:
"Motorists can expect single lane closures between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the northbound lanes of I-229 at the overpass structures of Cliff and Minnesota avenues. Various lane closures will also occur during daylight hours to complete the work. Motorists should expect delays though the construction area and stay alert for workers, equipment, lane closures, lane shifts and suddenly slowing traffic. Drivers are reminded that fines are double in work zones."
Crews will be resuming epoxy chip seal work on I-229. Completion date for the project is October 26th.

Make a dressing with about 1/4 pint (1/2 cup) of the best olive oil, adding lemon juice and seasoning to taste: keep it quite tart. For easy mixing, make it in a screwtop jar.
Grill or fry the bacon until crisp and drain on paper towels.
Put the beans into boiling salted water and cook until just tender; drain and refresh under cold running water.
Pat the eggs dry and chop roughly together with parsley and chives.
Lay the beans in some ravishing china dish, sprinkle with the bacon, pile the eggs and herbs on next and lattice the top with the anchovy fillets. Chill slightly. Just before serving, give the dressing a good shake and drizzle over the beans. Bring to the table with some good crusty bread and unsalted butter.

Jay and I just spent a glorious week in Nantucket. The best souvenir that we brought back was our newly-kindled love of the Dark and Stormy – Bermuda's signature cocktail comprised of dark rum, spicy ginger beer and a squeeze of lime.
The second best was the inspiration for this salad, which we sampled at a beach party. Feta and melon sound like two things that should not go together, and yet they work shockingly well. I went back for thirds.
When we received a melon in our box this week, I put off using it, as melons are not my favorite fruit, to say the least. First of all, you can't bake with a melon. (Ditto for kiwi, and upside-down cake is, in my opinion, the pineapple's only saving grace.)A ripe melon at the peak of its season smells intoxicating, but I'm always disappointed when I cut into one and take a bite. Melons are low in acid, which makes even the ripest specimen seem bland, and their texture is at best insipid, and at worst mealy.
After a week had passed and I had failed to get rid of said melon at either of the family brunches I attended over the weekend, I knew it was now or never. So I took a stab at the melon salad.
And it was the most I've ever enjoyed a melon.
The onion lends crunch and savory spice. French sheep's milk feta adds tang and creamy texture, and slivers of herbaceous mint bring cool freshness. Lime juice, olive oil, black pepper and flaky salt all perk up the chunks of juicy melon, letting its laid-back sweetness emerge as the star of the show.This salad screams "summer," and makes the most perfectly refreshing meal on a day when you're both ravenous and too hot to cook. It manages to feel both light and satisfying.
The melon from our box looked like a cantaloupe on the outside, but the flesh was green rather than orange.Use any melon you like here, including watermelon. The recipe below is loosey-goosey – add the components according to your taste.
And do yourself a favor – mix up a Dark and Stormy while you're at it.
Summery Salads:
Two-bean Potato Salad
Creamy Sesame Soba Noodles
Quinoa with Roasted Corn, Zucchini and Mint
One year ago:
Lemon Verbena and Red Berry Shakes
Two years ago:
Melon with Lime, Feta and Mint
This salad makes a light lunch or unique starter for a late-summer meal. Measurements are loose – add the components according to your taste. Use any melon you like here, including watermelon (ours was a green-fleshed sort of cantaloupe), but be sure to choose one that is fragrant and feels heavy for its size. With few ingredients in this salad, make sure that each is of top-notch quality: fresh, sweet onion, super-good olive oil, flaky salt such as Malden, and a moist feta that comes in large chunks. French sheep's milk feta is milder than other varieties and recommended as it won't overwhelm the dish. With the exception of watermelon, refrigeration does not flatter melons' texture, so plan to serve this soon after making it.
Makes 6 first-course servings, or 2 main-dish servings for hungry people
1 medium melon (or 1 small watermelon), a bit smaller than your head
1/4 small red onion, sliced very thinly
8-12 large mint leaves, slivered, plus some small ones for garnish
juice of 1 large or 2 small limes, to taste
1 tablespoon super-good olive oil
flaky salt (such as Malden) and black pepper
3/4 cup feta cheese, preferably French sheep's milk, in large crumbles
Cut the melon in half from the stem end and scoop out and discard the seeds. Slice each half lengthwise into eighths. Use a paring knife to slice the flesh from the skin, and cut the slices into bite-sized chunks. In a large bowl, combine the melon, onion, and mint, tossing gently to combine. Drizzle over the olive oil,lime juice, flaky salt and pepper, toss to combine, and taste for balance and seasoning. Scatter the feta over the top, and serve immediately, garnished with small mint leaves.

Now this is a show that doesn't need fancy stunts to sell us. Watch the trailer for Danny Boyle's stage translation of Frankenstein, coming soon to select movie theaters. (Previously Boyle directed 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and 172 Hours, among others). Just to make things really interesting, the two lead actors swap the roles of Dr. Frankenstein and the Creature with each performance.
The trailer (which shows the actors playing both parts) is for National Theatre Live's international broadcast of Boyle's Frankenstein. And yes, they will be screening both versions of the play starring Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch. Here are the dates for both:
17 March: Benedict Cumberbatch (Creature), Jonny Lee Miller (Victor)
24 March: Jonny Lee Miller (Creature), Benedict Cumberbatch (Victor)
The play was written by Nick Dear which was heavily based on the novel by Mary Shelley. Tickets will go on sale in the next few days.
Here's the teaser:
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein's bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.
Here is a list of cities and participating cinemas.

They sneak a peek. They steal a glance. They turn around and gawk, sometimes forgetting to carry out their own assignments as NFL quarterbacks.
When a quarterback puts the football in the hands of a great running back — especially a player as talented as the Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson — that up-close, low-angle view of the darting, twisting, spinning, blasting ballcarrier is almost hypnotic.
Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer can fully appreciate what Minnesota's Christian Ponder witnessed from his unique vantage this season, when Peterson became the seventh player to run for 2,000 yards in a season.
"When you have a back that's just shredding defenses, it's really hard not to hand the thing off, turn around and watch," Dilfer said.

of Father Anthony Kopp
By Father Anthony Kopp
Germans from Russia Heritage Collection, North Dakota State University Libraries, Fargo, ND, 1999, softcover, 145 pages, English language.
The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection is pleased to announce publication of Memoirs of Father Anthony Kopp. The original manuscript of Father Anthony is housed in the archives of the Assumption Abbey Library, Richardton, ND. Our appreciation to Jolenta Fischer Masterson, Sequim, WA, a native of Strasburg, ND, who worked closely in the completion of this valuable addition to the literature of North Dakota's heritage and history. The book is a literate story of his German-Russian youth and his life in North Dakota capturing the unique dialectal German speech as he himself directly translated into English text.
Father Kopp was born on December 11, 1891, in Krasna, Bessarabia. Anthony Kopp attended elementary schools near Harvey, ND. He completed high school, college and theological studies at Assumption Abbey, Richardton, ND. Father Kopp finished his seminary studies at St. Paul Seminary, St. Paul, MN. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Bismarck, ND, on June 21, 1917, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Richardton.
Father Kopp served five parishes in the Bismarck diocese including Rosebud, Odense, Mott, Bowbells and Foxholm. He was the pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church at Foxholm from 1933 to 1962. Father Kopp died at Garrison, ND, on July 10, 1964. He is buried at Assumption Abbey Cemetery, Richardton, ND.
Jolenta Fischer Masterson writes in the Foreword: "Several years ago, I received a copy of the Memoirs of Father Anthony Kopp. The document was a bit hard to read, because Father Anthony thought in German and wrote in English. He started telling his life story in 1964 while he was Chaplain at the Garrison Hospital in Garrison, ND. The typewriter that he used was certainly not new in 1964; many of the letters were blurred and difficult to read.
Father Anthony's phrasing was so reminiscent of the language familiar to those of German-Russian descent. We very likely spoke that way ourselves as we were growing up in North Dakota. When he spoke of Father Bernard Strassmeier, I remembered that I had met that venerable old priest when I was eight years old.
The opportunity to work with Father Anthony's autobiography has been a privilege for me. I have learned much about the life and time of my grandparents and their family and relatives during their early years in this country. I hope that my efforts will help preserve their precious story."

LU to lease local hotel
Liberty University acquired a local hotel and conference center on Friday.
Lynchburg Inn and Conference Center on Odd Fellows Road, formerly a Ramada Inn, will serve as an educational center for the school's growing Distance Learning Program.
About 27,000 people from around the world are currently taking advantage of Liberty's online classes, and those numbers continue to climb by the thousands.
For a more personal and accelerated touch, approximately 3,000 online students came to the campus for a few one-week "intensives" to round out their education this year – but the program is outgrowing the space available on campus.
The hotel's 12 conference classrooms could accommodate up to 7,000 students for intensives – and some of those students could stay at the 240-room hotel, which will continue to be rented out to the public.
"Liberty University is excited about this opportunity to expand its DLP programs," said Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr.
LU plans to lease the hotel from a local business owner for the first year, Falwell Jr. said. There is a strong possibility that the hotel could be donated to the school after that.
It's going to be a win-win for both Liberty and local businesses, he said.
"The net impact on local hotel business will be positive because we're going to be bringing in a lot more [students] than we can house," said Falwell Jr. "We don't think it's going to take business away from local hotels because the students that will be coming here to take intensives are students who would not have been coming otherwise."
Plus the hotel's current employees will have job security.
"We're keeping the existing staff in place. It will still be serving the local community, but it will be available for all of our special events," said Falwell Jr., adding that the school's food supplier, Sodexho, will manage the venture.

Red Devilette senior Taylor Youell has signed a tennis scholarship offer from the University of Charleston.
Red Devilette senior Taylor Youell has signed a tennis scholarship offer from the University of Charleston. "It's wonderful to see a young lady who is very talented, coachable, and an extremely hard worker be rewarded for her dedication," said veteran coach Butch Varney. "During the summer, she will come to the courts and work for two hours plus on different parts of her game with Dave Crow, who is one of our local tennis instructors, and then go off and practice basketball." Youell has made her mark in tennis at Ravenswood High School for the past three years. Accomplishments she has achieved so far during her tenure include: • 31-5 Singles record • 33-11 Doubles record • State Runner-up at the #3 Singles Position • State Final 4 at the #2 Singles Position • Regional Champion at #1 and #2 Doubles • Regional Champion at #3 Singles • Regional Runner-up at #2 Singles • State Final 8 at #1 Doubles • State Final 4 at #2 Doubles "As Taylor begins her senior year, we expect even bigger things as her leadership by being a captain again will help our other players both on and off the court," said Varney. "This will continue to help her as her life goal is to become an elementary teacher. Already, she volunteers her time at Ravenswood Grade School assisting Debbie Kelps in the third grade. And the kids just love her as they cheer for her in both basketball and tennis. "Taylor has a wonderful future ahead of her and Coach (Jim) Frazier and I both wish her much success in her collegiate career."

Robin Jarrett, 53, won "Best Supporting Actress" honors at the St. Tropez International Film Festival this past May for her role as Debbie, a gay alcoholic cop, in the feature film, "It Had to be You." The actress and dancer, raised in several communities in or near Northwest Philly and now living in Germantown, bested nine other contenders. The film debuted in Philadelphia on Saturday night, July 20, at the Ritz East. It was initially scheduled for the Ritz on the Bourse but ticket sales were brisk, and festival producers shifted the film to the larger venue, where it sold out hours before opening during QFest 2013.
At the show, Hunting Park-born director Lary Campbell took a moment to tell me, "Robin Jarrett may have been surprised, but those of us who have seen her work in the film were not. Robin is a hard-working, precise actress who is always eager to learn more about a character." He described his first feature film as an exploration of three couples, two male and one female, as they negotiate life, death, love and their reasons for living.
Chatting with me last weekend in her Victorian home, filled with sculpture and artworks, many of the human body, and her own jewelry design projects, Jarrett recounted her surprise and excitement at receiving the award. She had not prepared a speech, although her mother, Norma Jarrett, an artist and clairvoyant, had said she was certain Robin would win.
"It seemed presumptuous to write a speech, but I spoke for a minute and a half, and my off-the-cuff comments drew some laughs, so I was happy."
Robin felt at home in St. Tropez, having made five visits to France in her 20s. In fact, she's roamed through much of the world. She studied the Lee Strasberg acting technique in London, Broadway dance and in "so many different schools" in New York and L.A.
Movement is second nature to Robin on many levels. Growing up, her family lived at various times in Mt. Airy, Jenkintown, Abington and South Philly.
"And I've studied, performed and taught dance, voice and acting over the years in so many places," she said. Jarrett currently teaches several students privately and leads a class at MaMa (Moving Arts of Mt. Airy) on Tuesday evenings in Hedy Tower technique, named after her mentor, a Jenkintown-based dance teacher. The class combines modern dance, yoga, Pilates and Improv. Robin also teaches acting in Wallingford for children.
"Hedy was a huge influence on me," Robin said. "I'd started dance lessons early, but when I was 15, I told Hedy that we could not afford lessons any more. She said that it was my destiny to dance then, and she let me demonstrate in classes to pay my way.
"At that point, I was attending Abington High School. It was a very big school. Monitors followed girls into the bathroom. One day a monitor peered down at me in a bathroom stall to see if I was smoking. The school wasn't a good fit. Segregation existed there and blatant racism . . . if you were Jewish, black . . . it was disconcerting, to say the least. Hedy saved me. She had such artistic integrity. She was a deeply honest person."
In 11th grade, Robin switched to "Alternative East," then on the Wyndmoor/Wyncote border. "It was a school without walls, with independent research. I loved it; it was great for me. There were only 25 kids in the graduating class."
Along the way, she did work-study at Green Tree School in Mt. Airy, a private school for children with special needs, aided an autistic child and volunteered at Wordsworth Academy. Robin went on to study psychology at Penn State and Temple. Soon after, Robin found work as a physical trainer for the clients of several entertainment lawyers, which is how she came to Atlantic City. Robin was training R+B singer Phyllis Hyman, who was to open for Bill Cosby.
One day, Cosby challenged Robin to a foot race; they tied and then began trading jokes and comparing interests. Cosby gave her tips for Hyman's training, which Robin said wasn't right for Hyman's body, and suggested a book on Method acting which Robin thought was a great idea. "It will be your bible," Cosby predicted.
"Stanislavsky's 'The Actor Prepares' moved me into professional acting. Bill Cosby went on to mentor me in a complicated but productive way for several months." Then there was the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in London, the Wilma and Walnut Street Theaters in Philadelphia, Broadway dance in New York . . . "and many other schools and training experiences."
Pantomime followed, as well as voice-over work and modeling here and in Europe. "This is work that does not go at a steady pace. It ebbs and flows. I often danced eight or 10 hours a day. Dancing is acting, absent the words," said Robin. And yet, we're glad to know Robin wasn't speechless when she received "Best Supporting Actress" in St. Tropez.

Take a look at the amazing stained glass portraiture by Neal Fox. Fox's work reminds me of the work of many different artists, including Gilbert & George, Roy Lichtenstein, even Joe Coleman (composition, not details, obviously!). I'll bet this exhibition is impressive "in the flesh."
Daniel Blau Ltd. is pleased to present Neal Fox's latest project Beware of the God. Fox's drawings depict a phantasmagoric journey through the detritus and mythology of pop culture. From a life-long obsession with the tales of his dead grandfather, a World War II bomber pilot, writer and hell raiser, his large-scale drawings have developed into increasingly layered celebrations of the debauched and iconoclastic characters whose ideas have helped shape our collective consciousness.
Fox's latest project takes many of the recurring subjects of his drawings and portrays them through the medium of the stained glass window. As traditional church windows show the iconography of saints, through representations of events in their lives, instruments of martyrdom and iconic motifs, Fox plays with the symbolism of each character's cult of personality; Albert Hoffman takes a psychedelic bicycle ride above the LSD molecule, J G Ballard dissects the world, surrounded by 20th Century imagery and the eroticism of the car crash, and Johnny Cash holds his inner demon in chains after a religious experience in Nickerjack cave. One quality in particular binds these characters and the others together; a refusal to conform and conviction in their own ideology.
Working with traditional methods at the renowned Franz Mayer of Munich manufacturer, Fox is producing a set of twelve 2.5 metre high stained-glass windows; exhibited in a single room – an alternative church of alternative saints.
Neal Fox's "Beware of the God" at Daniel Blau Ltd., 51 Hoxton Square, London until August 10th.

My head has been in Wine Grapes for so long (as you may have seen from all the coverage of it on this site) that it took an outsider to make me realise I hadn't answered the most obvious question of all: which, of the 1,368 grape varieties grown to make wine that are detailed in our eponymous book, are my favourites and which do I think we'll be seeing much more of in future?
Before listing some of those that make my heart beat faster, let me state quite unequivocally that I am certainly not anti any of the famous international varieties. There's a reason why both Cabernets, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah/Shiraz, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc are planted all over the world. It's because they are all capable of making heart-stopping wine.
But their fame means that they are also often traduced. It's not difficult to find boring examples of all these international varieties, which has presumably fuelled the growing worldwide interest in indigenous, heritage and alternative grape varieties. Mind you, grapes change their status all the time. It was not that long ago, for instance, that T'Gallant introduced Australian wine lovers to Pinot Gris/Grigio, but now it is deemed so mainstream that it is no longer allowed in the annual Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show. Semillon, on the other hand, used to be so common that for years it was by far the most widely planted grape of either colour in South Africa as well as being the dominant white wine grape in Bordeaux and parts of Australia. But today it is, more's the pity, a relative rarity.
Whenever I'm asked to nominate an obviously great pale-skinned grape that deserves to be planted more widely, I always think first of Assyrtiko (pronounced, as far as I know, 'ass - ear - ticko'). This is by far the most widely planted vine on the beautiful Aegean island of Santorini and demonstrates the most admirable ability to make seriously characterful and refreshing wines even in a relatively warm climate. The wines, made from vines trained in low round basket-like shapes on the ground, as shown here, manage to combine both citrus and mineral elements somehow, as well as being quite full bodied. Furthermore, the wines can age in bottle for longer than most crisp, dry whites. I've had and much enjoyed four- and five-year-old Assyrtikos.
I have discovered rather late in the day that the south of France has some really interesting white wine grapes. When I wrote my first, 1986, book about wine grapes, Vines, Grapes & Wines, I was rather dismissive of southern French white wine grapes because at that stage white winemaking in southern France was pretty rustic. I assumed, wrongly, that the grapes themselves were inherently heavy and flabby. The old Languedoc variety Clairette was one of those I misjudged, having tasted some truly terrible Clairette du Languedoc. And I have also since learnt that, for example, the delightfully named Bourboulenc can yield really fine, fresh wines with some delicate floral aromas, On the rocky seaside mound of La Clape in the Languedoc, it can take on a decidedly marine note. Bourboulenc is an old Provençal variety (Provence is the cradle of many interesting grapes; Tibouren springs to mind) which, like Assyrtiko, is good at retaining its acidity in a warm climate, so could perhaps thrive in a distant wine-producing land.
But perhaps my favourite white wine grape disovery is Godello, the recently rescued Galician variety that is characteristic of Valdeorras in north-west Spain. Like Viognier, it was practically extinct within living memory (and just look how widely planted Viognier is now) but is enjoying a revival, based on cuttings from old vines belonging to the family behind the admirable Valdesil winery. Rafael Palacios, younger brother of the more famous Alvaro Palacios of L'Ermita, Priorat, fame, has also helped to put Godello on the map via a series of really excellent Valdeorras - firm, dry whites that deserve a few years in bottle. Not just in Valdeorras but also in Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra, Monterrei and Bierzo, the best Godello tends to be planted on steep granite or schist slopes and - although I know there is not supposed to be any direct transference of soil types into wines - many of the best wines do seem to have very strong flavours that I'm afraid I can only describe as mineral. Godello is racier and sleeker than Assyrtiko, and denser somehow than the Albariño that is so common in Rias Baixas on the Galician coast just west of Godello-land. I did once have a fling with Albariño, I must admit.
I'm also mad about a red wine grape grown in this far west corner of Spain: Mencia, most commonly found in Bierzo. Mencia can also express the slate terraces it is grown on - notably in the top bottlings from another outfit owned by Palacios family, Descendientes J Palacios, but can also make lovely unoaked wines for relatively early drinking. There's an appealing aromatic, flirtatious quality to Mencia - so much so that for many years the locals were convinced it was related to Cabernet Franc. It is not, but it is identical to the variety the northern Portuguese know as Jaen (just as Godello goes under the name Gouveio in northern Portugal).
You might think from this selection so far that I am fixated on refreshing, light- to medium-bodied wines but I also love Aglianico, the late-ripening red wine grape grown in Campania and Basilicata and elsewhere in southern Italy. It is just so obvious from the dense, well-structured, firm, complex, ageworthy purple essences it makes that this is a very fine grape. The wines are notably concentrated yet the tannins are fine - there is no coarseness - and the aromas remind one agreeably of prunes and tar (more minerals, I admit). Because of the name, which sort of sounds like 'Hellenico', and because the Greeks are believed to have brought the vine to Italy, it was assumed for ages that Aglianico's roots were Greek, but no relationship has been found with any vine variety currently grown in Greece. Aglianico is even later-ripening than Bourboulenc, so can be grown only in relatively warm climates, but I for one very much look forward to seeing more examples from Australia, California and perhaps South Africa.
Those are some of the varieties I'd like to see more widely planted and think are ready for the spotlight of fashion. But I could also add the fruity southern French Cinsault, the earthy and cherry-flavoured Nerello Mascalese that is the great grape of the renascent wines grown on the slopes of Mount Etna in eastern Sicily, and many more.

A diagnosis of melanoma affects everyone differently
You or your loved one will likely face physical and emotional challenges and encounter a wide range of feelings including fear, shock and isolation. There are several coping mechanisms and strategies that can help you increase your quality of life both during and after treatment.
Stress Management
Stress from a melanoma diagnosis can be felt physically, mentally and emotionally. At times, this stress can feel unmanageable. You may feel as though you have lost interest in things that you used to enjoy. It is important that all signs of stress, depression and anxiety be discussed with your doctor.
Signs of Depression and Anxiety:
- Sad or "empty" feeling much of the day
- Loss of interest or pleasure in normal activities
- Trouble sleeping
- Increase or decrease in appetite
- Sudden increase or decrease in body weight
- Difficulty concentrating
- Chronic fatigue or restlessness
- Thoughts of suicide or death
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Nausea or increased heart rate
- Chest or abdominal pain
Stress Management Techniques
Stress management techniques are a very important component in living with melanoma and can help you feel empowered and improve your quality of life. There are many stress management techniques you can try. Remember — not every technique works the same for everyone, but here are few ideas to get you started.
- Participate in our patient forum
- Join a cancer support group
- Talk with a therapist or counselor
- Exercise
- Listen to music
- Practice yoga
- Try to manage just one problem at a time
- Keep a journal
- Accept support and help from others
- Try aromatherapy
- Call a friend
- Get a massage
- Play with a pet
- Read a book
- Watch a comedy
Caregivers may also experience high levels of stress. Please use our Caregiver Support Guide to learn ways to take care of yourself while taking care of your loved one.
Nutrition and Physical Activity
Eating well and maintaining proper nutrition plays an important role in developing a lifelong melanoma survivorship plan. It is important to eat a variety of foods every day. Be aware of portion sizes and understand the amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats your body needs. Watch our Nutrition and Melanoma Webinar hosted by Ms. Kim Jordan, MHA, RDN, CNSD.
Some melanoma patients experience decreased appetite, nausea, pain, discomfort or changes in taste during and after treatment. Eating small meals or snacks throughout the day, varying your diet and making meals into social events may help improve your appetite and make eating more enjoyable.
Regardless of how fit you were before your melanoma diagnosis, your physical conditioning may decrease as a result of your treatment. Improving your physical fitness after treatments can provide many benefits to your overall health and well-being.
Exercise can improve your health in the following ways:
- Increased energy
- Reduced fatigue
- Improved sleep
- Stress relief
- Increased self esteem
- Improved sexual functioning
- Decreased risk of osteoporosis
- Improved blood flow
- Reduced risk of blood clots and heart disease
You don't need to overdo it. The overall goal is to simply try your best to maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. Even participating in low-impact activities such as yoga, Tai Chi and walking can help. Exercising for three to four days per week for 20-30 minutes is enough to notice cardiovascular and muscular strength improvements. As always, you should consult your doctor before beginning any exercise regimen.
Melanoma Recurrence
In some circumstances, unfortunately, melanoma can recur. Following a melanoma diagnosis, a person remains at risk for developing a new melanoma as well as a recurrence of their previous melanoma. Melanoma is considered to be the most serious type of skin cancer because it can recur locally or to a distant site (metastatic melanoma).
Melanoma that recurs locally may appear at the scar of the initial surgery or as small nodules or lumps under the skin at the site. During your monthly self skin exams, you should look for any abnormal lumps near where the surgery was performed, as well as by nearby lymph nodes. Melanoma that recurs in a distant site is most often detected by regularly scheduled x-rays or scans.

So the biggest day in videogames this year is today, and the hum and glow of consoles is likely still going on marathon sessions in living rooms everywhere.
Activision didn't waste the opportunity of having as many midnight launches as it did, celebrating with fans at key stores and having the Australian Cyber League (ACL Pro) on hand for multiplayer madness.
Crowds, costumes and CoD ruled last night.

Ryan Mathews participated in 16 regular-season games for the first time in his career during the 2013 season. Then the San Diego Chargers went out and added another running back.
The signing of Donald Brown this offseason was a curious one, given that Mathews is coming off a career year and Danny Woodhead is a solid, change-of-pace back on the roster.
Build your own mock draft:
Make your best guesses here for all 32 picks of the first round of the NFL Draft and you could win a trip to attend the 2014 NFL Kickoff game. Play now ...
The 26-year-old Mathews, however, believes the addition of Brown is "going to be awesome" and will help him stay healthy throughout the season.
"I (want to) make it more than 16 games," Mathews said, per U-T San Diego. "That was a big goal last year: 'Alright, let's get him through 16 games.' We did that. Now the goal is to keep me healthy, keep running after 16 games. The coaches did a good job of getting another guy like Donald to help me out. It's going to be fun."
Mathews missed two starts early in the 2013 season and was hampered by an ankle injury down the stretch. While he displayed toughness between the tackles last year, the injury took an obvious toll, especially in two disappointing playoff performances.
As Mathews enters the final season of his contract, he is hoping that Brown's addition can keep him fresh down the stretch. Another solid season coupled with a healthy ending could allow Mathews to hit the open market as the top available back in 2015.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks out the crystal ball and predicts the potential surprises that could shake up the NFL Draft.
