The Berkshire Dictionary of Chinese Biography Reference library
Over 130 entries
This publication, the first of its kind since 1898, represents the work of more than one hundred internationally recognized experts from nearly a dozen countries. It has been designed to satisfy the growing thirst of students, researchers, professionals, and general readers for knowledge about China. It makes the entire span of Chinese history manageable by introducing the reader to emperors, politicians, poets, writers, artists, scientists, explorers, and philosophers who have shaped and transformed China over the course of five thousand years. In 135 entries, ranging from 1,000 to 8,000 words and written by some of the world's leading China scholars, the Dictionary takes the reader from the important (even if possibly mythological) figures of ancient China to Communist leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. The in-depth essays provide rich historical context, and create a compelling narrative that weaves abstract concepts and disparate events into a coherent story. Cross-references between the articles show the connections between times, places, movements, events, and individuals.
The work features a range of appendices, including a timeline of key events, a pronunciation guide, a bibliography, lists of rulers and other prominent people, and other supplemental materials for students of Chinese history and culture.
Berkshire Dictionary of Chinese Biography (Volume 4) Reference library
Over 100 entries
The fourth volume of the Berkshire Dictionary of Chinese Biography covers the years 1979-2015, providing a riveting new way to understand twenty-first-century China and a personal look at the changes that have taken place since the Reform and Opening Up era started in 1979. One hundred key individuals from this period were selected by an international group of experts, and the stories were written by more than 70 authors in 14 countries. The authors map the paths taken by these individuals-some rocky, some meandering, some fateful-and in telling their stories give contemporary Chinese history a human face. The editors have included – with the advice of myriad experts around the world – not only the life stories of politicians and government officials, who play a crucial role in the development of the country, but the stories of cultural figures including film directors, activists, writers, and entrepreneurs from the mainland China, Hong Kong, and also from Taiwan.
The "Greater China" that comes through in this volume has diverse ideas and identities. It is often contradictory, sometimes fractious, and always full of creative human complexity. Some of the lives rendered here are heroic. Some are tragic, and many are inspirational. Some figures come in for trenchant criticism, and others are celebrated with a sense of wonder and awe. Like previous volumes of the Berkshire Dictionary of Chinese Biography, this volume includes a range of appendices, including a pronunciation guide, a bibliography, and a timeline of key events.

Black Women in America (2 ed.) Reference library
2006 ALA/RUSA Outstanding Reference Source
2005Booklist Editor's Choice
2005 Choice Outstanding Academic Title
The second edition of Black Women in America, edited by Darlene Clark Hine, provides expanded coverage of the achievements and contributions of African American women.
Winner of the Dartmouth Medal for Outstanding Reference Publication of 1994, the first edition of Black Women in America broke new ground—pulling together for the first time all of the research in this vast but underrepresented field to provide one of the strongest building blocks of Black Women's Studies. Hailed by Eric Foner of Columbia University as "one of those publishing events which changes the way we look at a field," it simultaneously filled a void in the literature and sparked new research and concepts regarding African American women in history. Since the first edition was published, a new generation of American black women has flourished, demanding this landmark reference be brought up to date. Women such as Venus and Serena Williams, Condoleezza Rice, Carol Moseley Braun, Ruth Simmons, and Ann Fudge have become household names for their remarkable contributions to sports, politics, academia, and business. In nearly 600 entries, Black Women in America celebrates the remarkable achievements of black women throughout history, highlights their ongoing contributions in America today, and represents the new research the first edition helped to generate.
The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of the American Enlightenment Reference library
Over 500 entries
The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of the American Enlightenment is the first reference work on this key subject in early American history. With substantial and original essays on key American Enlightenment figures, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, David Rittenhouse, Benjamin Rush, Jonathan Edwards and many others, it provides a comprehensive account to complement the intense scholarly activity that has recently centered on the European Enlightenment. This wide-ranging collection also includes topical essays, and entries on dozens of often-overlooked secondary figures.
It has long been known that Americans made their own contributions to the Enlightenment, most notably by putting Enlightenment ideas to work in defining the American Revolution, the United States Constitution, and the nature of the early American Republic. These volumes show that the American Enlightenment was more far reaching than even that story assumes. Presenting a fresh definition of the Enlightenment in America, this remarkable work confirms that the American Enlightenment constitutes the central framework for understanding the development of American history between c.1720 and c.1820.

While Apple's proprietary software means this watch only works with iPhones (and vice-versa, iPhones work best with this watch), the Apple Watch ($330) stood out in testing for its versatile and easy navigation with its touchscreen, dial, and button. Small details, like being able to zoom in to look at apps, and dozens of customization options, ensured the Apple Watch was a tester favorite. Though its square touchscreen won't blend in as an "everyday" watch — it looks solidly tech — we loved visually crisp and beautifully clear images and icons.
The Samsung Gear Sport ($300) has a similarly gorgeous screen to the Apple and Fossil and can be used with any Android or Samsung phone. We loved the Samsung for being easy to navigate: the touchscreen responds to our every, well, touch, the Gear Sport has two buttons, one for waking the watch up, and the other for accessing the main app page. But it's the rotating bezel (the metal ring running on the outer edge of the watch's face), which scrolls through various options, that reduces finger fatigue and makes the Sport one of the easiest watches to use.
The Samsung Gear Sport is similar to the Apple Watch in that they are both slim, high-tech smart watches with a solid-black color scheme for the default band and casing. But if you're looking for a smart watch with more options and aesthetic appeal, we loved Fossil's Q Venture series ($255–$275, depending on band style). The Fossil Q Ventures' nine style options (compared to Apple's four and Samsung's two) make it easy to find your ideal look beyond simply "themes of gray." We also loved the Q Venture's highly responsive touchscreen— a good thing, since that's its primary source of navigation (its solitary button will only wake up the watch and open the main app page). We liked this watch out of the box for its immediate sense of style, and fell in love with how it matches its high-quality look with high-quality performance.
We wanted to look at every smart watch the industry had to offer, but given the many hybrid and off-brand options flooding the market, we created three initial criteria for our search: we wanted "true" smart watches (not hybrids, read on), well-supported operating systems, and no ties to specific cell providers.
True smart watches come with a touchscreen and cellular capabilities. They vibrate or ring for incoming phone calls, display received texts, and give you the option of writing new texts, or responding to recent ones. They also give you access to some apps directly from your wrist. Alternatives are more like traditional watches with a few additional notification lights or vibrations — granted, these hybrids are smarter than your average watch, but the best smart watch is much more than a blinking timepiece.
As holiday shoppers attempt to "wow" their friends, families and coworkers with the top presents of the season -- think Amazon Echos, smart TVs and internet-enabled toys -- they could be inadvertently exposing their giftees to a world of cybersecurity pain.Unfortunately, hackers looking to expand their attacks beyond networks and emails have set their sights on devices that are connected to our home networks.
Despite the recent security issues with IoT devices (i.e.

are unaware of IoT risks and the same percentage don't take this type of security seriously.

Before making those final purchases, let's explore which popular items are most at-risk and ways in which owners can secure their new toys.

The newest, hottest devices are obviously high on holiday wish lists, and for good reason! Many of them are not only fun additions to the home, but also add a significant convenience factor when it comes to day-to-day activities like switching lights on and off, controlling music, locking doors and entertaining children. However, before bringing these items into the home, it's important for consumers to weigh the pros and cons.
One of the biggest risks associated with installing IoT devices revolves around the loss of privacy. As IoT evolves, devices that have video cameras in them should be avoided at all costs. We've seen vulnerabilities appear within connected cameras time and time again -- see examples and. While using IoT cameras externally for security purposes makes sense, bringing them into the home can be, and has been, an issue.

The tropical tree that produces cocoa beans is called Theobroma Cacao . Theobroma means "food of the gods."
The indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica have enjoyed cacao since before the time of Christ. It's been cultivated throughout Mexico, Central America and South America since the Early Formative Period and used as a food, a medicine and even currency. In fact, cacao was so highly valued that the ancient native peoples celebrated it, immortalizing its place in society through things like oral history, stonework and pottery chronicling its use in rituals and everyday life.
Archaeological sites have found ceramic vessels with cacao residues from the pre-Olmec peoples, from several sites in Mexico and throughout Central America, dating as far back as 1750–1900 B.C.
It's believed that the first to grow the beans as a crop were the Olmec Indians, from 1500–400 B.C. By 600 A.D., Mayans had migrated to the northern regions of South America and took cacao with them, establishing plantations. In Mayan cultures, where it's believed to be of divine origin, cacao is celebrated with an annual festival in April. The Aztecs believe their god Quetzalcoatl discovered cacao, and the consumption of cacao was restricted to the society's elite. (, )
Columbus was the first European to learn of cacao upon the capture of a canoe that was carrying it as cargo. Cacao did not become popular in Europe at this time because Columbus was only aware of the currency use of cacao, not the food or medicinal uses. But 20 years later, Cortez recorded its use in the court of Emperor Montezuma.
Cacao was given as a gift, and while Spain and Portugal did not export it to the rest of Europe for almost a century, it gained popularity as a medicine and

before regular shipments to Europe started. Twenty-five years before cocao was used in the preparation of food, the first shop opened in London in 1657 and served it as a beverage. However, it was so expensive that it was typically only consumed by the wealthy.
Chocolate was introduced to the U.S.by an Irish chocolate maker who imported beans from the West Indies to Dorchester, Massl, with his partner, Dr. James Baker. Soon, America's first chocolate mill was making the famous Baker's chocolate that you've likely heard of today. As demand grew, technology such as the cocoa press was invented to help keep up, slowly bringing the price down.
Today, most Americans consume refined versions that provide way fewer nutritional benefits. However, there are various forms, such as cacao powder, creme de cacao, raw cacao, cacao nibs, cacao beans and cacao butter, that, if consumed in their most raw and natural states, can give way to some amazing health benefits.

It was a warm October afternoon in 1976, and we were on our way to the airport. The sun was bright, and the colorful Canadian Indian summer was a magnificent picture stretched across the foothills. As I contemplated that peaceful beauty, I knew why Peter had chosen Calgary to be our home. Now we were leaving it behind—heading for Germany and a new life's adventure.
"All passengers for Air Canada's flight 852 please report at the gate." I had quite a time keeping six-year-old David, our eldest, from running to be first aboard. As I lifted one-and-a-half-year-old Michael into my arms, he asked, "Mommy, is daddy on that plane?" The answer came from his five-year-old sister, Danielle. "Of course not, Michael, that is why we are going to Germany—to be with daddy again."
Good-byes, hugs, tears, "Don't forget to write!" and then the clouds were a sea of rippling waves beneath the aircraft. Calgary fell far behind and with it home, friends, and numerous possessions too costly to ship yet impossible to forget. When we had left BYU to settle in Calgary, we had brought with us only a diploma, a car packed with household items, and boxes of books. The only piece of furniture we then owned was David's crib. But our hearts were full of hope and determination. Hard work and time had given us all we needed. Now it was part of our past.
"We are now flying over the St. Lawrence River," came a voice over the intercommunication system. My thoughts flew to another flight of long ago and far away.
I was almost twenty-one that calm January day in 1966. The Argentine Airline plane was leaving my country of birth behind, my home, my friends, my early artworks, the eager third-graders I had taught the previous year at the new Bilingual School in our district, and—the most cherished memories of my youth—the first two years of membership in the true church of Jesus Christ . Then had followed a long-awaited patriarchal blessing, my temple endowment, a mission, language study at BYU, meeting Peter in an Italian class the first day of school, a temple marriage, our beautiful children.
I looked at my watch. We would soon be landing at the London Airport. "I can hardly wait to get to a comfortable bed in our hotel room. I just hope it's not raining there today," I said to myself as I glanced at the little ones sleeping uncomfortably in their seats. Danielle and I wanted to look our best for daddy, but our curls wouldn't survive London's intermittent rain.
Next day, we were on the final leg of our flight. The German plane was comfortable and had a bright, modern interior. The children were happy coloring on books they had been given aboard. The sky was blue, deep and uniform as if painted on cloth. I found myself once again deep in thought.

Family History, House History and Local HistoryResearch in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and across the British Isles
Gill Blanchard
Genealogy Family History
I have a first degree in History and Sociology and a Masters degree in History and Politics and have gained a certificate in 'Architectural History Theory and Practice' from the University of East Anglia. I have been conducting family, house and local history research since 1992, beginning my research career at the Norfolk Record Office where I worked as a researcher and with the public for nearly six years. I started my research company, Past Search, in 1997 and gained my Post Graduate Certificate in Post Compulsory Education in 1998.
Since then I have worked as a researcher across East Anglia, combining this with teaching classes in family and local history. I provide research services to private individuals, authors, academics and commercial companies as well as giving talks and tutorials to a wide variety of organisations across the country. I also write articles for magazines and am a published author.
I welcome business from across the globe. I regularly provide research for individuals and organisations from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and across the European Union. Details on commissioning research, from within and outside the United Kingdom, can be found here. Payment and terms are covered here.
I have taught a Post Graduate Family History module at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. I also offer a regular programme of courses through the Norfolk Family History Society at their centre in Norwich.
I specialise in research in the East of England, particularly Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex, but I'm happy to consider commissions anywhere in the country. I provide house history research in addition to family history and local history services.
In September 2014 I appeared on the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? I helped television food critic and author Mary Berry to research her family's Norfolk connections._____________________________________________________________
Comments from some of my clients
I'm writing to thank you very much for being my partner and expert guide, over the last year, in the adventure searching for my Norfolk past. Living so far away, I really could not have made such incredible progress without your thoroughly professional guidance and support. Apart from the substantial research you have undertaken on my behalf, I am really grateful also for all the informative insights and advice you have been prepared so willingly to offer. I look forward to reaping further the considerable benefit of your expertise during the coming year as together we continue to develop this man's story.
Professor Michael Thurlow, Durban, South Africa
Past Search has been a great help, unearthing wills, land holdings, and other records from my family's past that I would not have been able to find for myself and with a service that's friendly and accessible.
Stephen Carr, Edinburgh
Gill has been carrying out research for me for nearly 8 years and I am extremely pleased with the results. She is very thorough in her approach and has given me good advice regarding other avenues to progress. I am particularly impressed by the personal service I have received - Gill has found records for some of my ancestors in parishes I'd never even have thought of to check by noticing my "names" whilst undertaking other work.
Sue Adcock, Hampshire
Gill Blanchard has done many hours of research for me. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service which I have received. The research is thorough and expert; the reports are well-organised and professional. I unhesitatingly recommend Gill and Past Search.
Thom Fowler, Ontario, Canada
Gill has provided a research service for my Norfolk and Suffolk family history studies for the past four years. She has always provided a courteous, friendly and thoroughly professional service, which I recommend highly for anyone wishing to look into their East Anglian family history.

Some $630 million for 2009 disaster payments is headed to U.S. producers. Although the amount is about half of what was being sought, Mid-South legislators have touted the secured funding.
"I'm extremely pleased to announce the release of long-awaited agriculture disaster assistance to Mississippi's, and our nation's, producers," said Mississippi Rep. Travis Childers. "This was not an easy battle. I've been working with (Arkansas) Rep. Marion Berry and Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas since last November to get this assistance passed. Today, all of our hard work has finally started paying off."
"This assistance isn't everything we wanted. But I know Mississippi farmers are the backbone of our state, and I'm going to keep fighting now, and as the 2012 farm bill debate progresses, to make certain that the Mississippi agriculture industry has the resources it needs to create jobs and contribute to our economy."
Note: Childers will hold a field meeting to discuss the disaster assistance on Tuesday, Sept. 21, at 9:00 a.m. The meeting will be held at the Verona Experiment Station Auditorium.
The following is a USDA document detailing what growers can expect from the disaster payments:
Background on 2009 Disaster Assistance
Due to losses suffered by cotton, rice, soybean, and sweet potato producers, USDA will provide some assistance to those farmers as soon as possible. Many producers have expressed significant concerns about the effectiveness of existing disaster programs in their states – particularly the Supplemental Revenue Assistance program (SURE) that was created in the 2008 farm bill. As such, USDA will now provide timely, targeted assistance by using Section 32 authorities and funds to make up to $550 million available for payments in Fiscal Year 2011.
Additionally, due to an integrator's bankruptcy in the poultry industry that caused many individual producers to lose their contracts and livelihood, as well as high feed costs incurred by aquaculture producers, USDA will make available $80 million in Section 32 Fiscal Year 2010 funds to assist producers in the form of grants to states.
Under Section 32, the Secretary of Agriculture has long-standing authority to provide assistance to producers in order to re-establish their purchasing power, as well as to make purchases of fruits, vegetables and other commodities for domestic feeding programs. The secretary will utilize existing authorities that permit the Commodity Credit Corporation to make fruit, vegetable and other commodity purchases for domestic feeding programs normally made with Section 32 funds to ensure these programs are not negatively affected. Notably, Section 32 has been used 18 times since 1999 to provide disaster assistance to farmers to help restore purchasing power.
Assistance will be made available under the following three programs:
(1) Crop Assistance Program
• USDA will make available up to $550 million in assistance for those cotton, rice, soybean, and sweet potato producers who suffered losses and are located in counties designated as primary disaster counties by the Secretary for high moisture or precipitation conditions;
• Producers certifying to at least a 5percent loss on their crop in 2009 will receive payments on a per-acre (actual planted or prevented planted) basis at the following rates:
Long Grain Rice
Medium/Short Grain Rice
Sweet Potatoes
Upland Cotton
Payments will be made only on those acres actually planted to the crop or that were prevented from being planted and that are currently on file with FSA.
(2) Lost Poultry Contract Assistance Program
• USDA will provide $60 million in the form of a grant to those states where poultry producers lost a contract due to the bankruptcy of an integrator in December of 2008;
Poultry producers must have lost their contract with the bankrupt integrator between May 1, 2008, and July 1, 2010, and were unable to enter into a subsequent contract. A grant will be made to all states with impacted producers to help cover the needs of these producers;
• Payments will be based upon a producer's most recent 12 months receipts multiplied by a payment factor to ensure that not over $60 million is spent and no producer's payment is over 95 percent of their previous 12 months receipts;
• Average adjusted gross income and payment limitations consistent with other disaster programs will apply.
(3) Aquaculture Grant Program
• USDA will provide $20 million in the form of a grant to those states where farm-raised aquaculture producers need assistance due to high feed input costs in 2009;
• Funding will be allocated to states on a pro rata basis, based on total benefits earned by all eligible 2008 aquaculture producers in each state under the 2008 AGP, authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009;
• To be eligible a producer must: (1) have raised an aquaculture species in a controlled environment in 2009, (2) produced an aquaculture species for which 2009 feed costs represented at least 25 percent of the producer's total input costs for the aquaculture operation, and (3) experienced at least a 25 percent price increase of 2009 feed costs above the state's 2003-2007 five-year average feed price;
• Average adjusted gross income and payment limitations consistent with other disaster programs will apply.
Additional Details on 2009 Disaster Assistance:
• While the 2008 farm bill made great strides in eliminating the need for ad hoc disaster programs, work still needs to be done. USDA looks forward to working with Congress to make sure adequate risk management tools are available to all farmers, all crops, and in all regions of the country.
• In this case, USDA's review of the distribution for 2008 SURE program payments combined with the concerns we have heard from producers for 2009 has led to this attempt to utilize existing, but limited, authorities and funding to address those issues for producers who may not be receiving adequate levels of coverage and assistance under existing safety net programs.
• While USDA is providing this assistance in the short term, the department will also continue to monitor existing programs and payments – including SURE – so that the department can provide feedback and guidance to Congress, especially for the 2012 farm bill.
• Pursuant to Section 32, the Secretary (of Agriculture) has the authority to use funds to "reestablish farmers' purchasing power by making payments in connection with the normal production of any agricultural commodity for domestic consumption." Those farmers certifying to the losses will get a limited amount of relief to help reestablish their lost purchasing power due to the disasters in 2009.
• Importantly, domestic feeding program needs will not be impacted by this assistance because USDA will use existing authorities that permit the CCC to make all required and needed purchases that usually are made with Section 32 funds. Suppliers, vendors, and those administering and receiving food assistance will not notice any difference or delay.
• While this does not cover every farmer and every loss, it is one effort to continue to provide the most effective safety net nationwide for the farmers and ranchers who provide all of us – and many around the world – with a safe, abundant, and affordable food and fiber supply.
• Producers in counties that were designated by the secretary as primary disaster counties because of high precipitation or moisture related conditions will be eligible for assistance. FSA's preliminary data indicates just under 1,000 counties could be eligible.

About Turley Wine Cellars
Turley Wine Cellars Facts
When it comes to California Zinfandels, Larry Turley is the master. Turley's wines are huge, exotic reds that often have head-spinning alcohol and a bit of residual sugar, but at their core, are really showcases for the rich, ripe, old-vine fruit. Today under winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, the Turley estate winery is focused great old vine vineyards throughout the state, both for the excellent fruit they produce but also ensuring their existence in the future. These powerful Zins got their start when Larry founded Turley Wine Cellars in 1993.
Varietals Produced at Turley Wine Cellars
At the time, the operation consisted of a single winery in St. Helena; grapes were mainly sourced from Napa producers at sites like Hayne Vineyard, Moore Earthquake Vineyard, Aida, and Zinfandel Vineyards. Today, Turley has added a second winery in Paso Robles, a facility in Amador, plus 87 acres of estate vineyards, and fruit from sites as far south as Baja, California USA.
If you're interested in wine touring, Turley has two tasting rooms located in Amador County and Paso Robles. The tasting room staff is very friendly and are experts in their craft. While many of the wines still possess big fruit and alcohol, Tegan has moved them beyond that stereotype, with an array of wines from great old vine vineyards throughout the state. In total, Turley Wine Cellars produces thirty-four wines. Most of these wines are single vineyard designate Zinfandels and Petite Syrahs.

After brothels were found in Hilton hotels in Ireland and China (thus causing the relevant hotel to lose its 5 star status) and a touch embarrassed, the chain made all the right noises. At least the Irish case involves adults but is it too much to ask Hilton to train its employees in basic detection? Even if the reaction to adults running brothels in hotels is a weary shrug, children are different and there is in particular a lot of trafficking in child prostitution in the far east. Hotels are a potential primary facility for this. Maybe Hilton hotels could do the right thing soonest?
Killing westerners makes for bad publicity and the case of Rachel Corrie generated huge amounts and included the play My Name Is Rachel Corrie and so the Israelis decided that one of their farcical pseudo-inquiries was necessary. This was duly completed but its findings never published. Thus the family took the only step possible and brought a civil case. The driver of the bulldozer gave evidence yesterday in conditions of anonymity and behind a screen. There is a gagging order as regards the identity of the army driver who drove the bulldozer that crushed Rachel Corrie to death (if anyone knows this person's identity feel free to tell the rabbit who will duly breach the gagging order).
The driver came out with the following gems:
As regards the fact fact that he had not gone to help Ms Corrie as she lay on the ground he said 'we are not allowed to leave our vehicles'.
Asked why he had not radioed for an ambulance, he said 'it was not at my level of command'.
Asked later in his testimony if he had seen the foreign activists carrying anything that suggested they were terrorists he said 'they were carrying loudspeakers and a sign'.
It goes on...
But finally there is 'I am a soldier. You carry out orders'.
I believe this is known as the 'Nuremberg Defence'. It is right to say though that focussing attention on this goon - regardless of his revolting lack of regret or human empathy - misses the point. Look up beyond him to the chain of command.There are the real villains of the piece.
Less seriously, a considerable amount of amusement has been caused by BBC political reporter Nick Robinson losing the plot after someone held a placard behind him while he was broadcasting. Temper! Temper!
Finally, a bit of silliness is in order. This particular piece of silliness was first posted on White Rabbit in April 2008 and gets a dusting down and recycling to go with the equally recycled passive-aggressive oldie posted yesterday.

Every so often, you meet someone who makes you go, "Dang, she's got her act together!" — and then immediately start to re-evaluate your priorities, productivity levels, and maybe even your choice of career. Karen Zuckerman, the founder and president of Rockville-based integrated creative agency HZDG, is just one of those gals. She launched the company over 20 years ago from her basement and is a veritable force of nature, overseeing marketing and social media campaigns for the likes of the Washington Redskins, Maidenform, Brooks Brothers, and Volkswagen.
Even better? She's a savvy, enthusiastic, relatable boss who has created a work environment filled with color, energy, and some seriously talented creative types. Truthfully, if you thought your cubicle sucked already, you'll be pretty jealous of the place these folks call home from 9-to-5 (they even have an official office band).

Just a few years ago, when foreclosures were coming fast and furious, some cities experienced more than their fair share of the pain. It stood to reason that the harder hit a city was, the less likely it was to make a hasty recovery. However, according to Realtor.com, the official site of the National Association of Realtors, some of the cities whose housing markets bore the brunt of the foreclosures are now leading the way toward recovery.
Using data from Realtor.com, CNBC.com ranks the cities with the most dramatically recovered housing sectors. The list weighs year-over-year data from the fourth quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010, such as median price appreciation, median age of inventory, inventory reduction rates and unemployment rates, as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in November 2011. Realtor.com also sought the perspective of real estate agents, who work on the front lines of the markets that are experiencing turnarounds. Their insights are included here. Click ahead to see which American cities made this year's list of the top 10 turnaround towns.

The promise charter schools hold for public school innovation and reform lies in an unprecedented combination of freedom and accountability. Underwritten with public funds but run independently, charter schools are free from a range of state laws and district policies stipulating what and how they teach, where they can spend their money, and who they can hire and fire. In return, they are held strictly accountable for their academic and financial performance. To represent what such flexibility and accountability look like in practice, this guide provides a glimpse into the inner workings of eight American charter schools whose freedom to experiment is raising the level of student learning.
Free to experiment how? To lengthen the school day, mix grades, require dress codes, put teachers on their school boards, double up instruction in core subject areas like math or reading, make parents genuine partners in family-style school cultures, adopt any instructional practice that will help achieve their missions- free, in short, to do whatever it takes to build the skills, knowledge, and character traits their students need to succeed in today's world.
By allowing citizens to start new public schools with this kind of autonomy, making them available tuition-free to any student, and holding them accountable for results and family satisfaction, proponents hope that this new mix of choice and accountability will not only provide students stronger learning programs than local alternatives, but will also stimulate improvement of the existing public education system. With charter schools, it is accountability that makes freedom promising. No charter is permanent; it must be renewed-or revoked-at regular intervals. Continued funding, which is tied to student enrollment, also depends on educational results. "Deliver a quality product," as Finn et al. put it, "or you won't have students." 1
In this guide we take a look at what contributes to a "quality product" as well as how eight particular charter schools (see figure 1) help their students achieve success.
The first charter school legislation was passed in Minnesota in 1991, and as of January 2004, there were 2,996 charter schools operating in the United States.2 Across 40 states and the District of Columbia, about 750,000 students take part in this form of public education under varying charter laws.3
Parents choose to enroll their children in charter schools, usually entering a lottery for selection when schools are oversubscribed. The schools are free to determine their own governing structures, which include parents and teachers as active members. In all these configurations, autonomy gives charter schools the flexibility to allocate their budgets; hire staff; and create educational programs with curriculum, pedagogy, organizational structures, and ways of involving parents and community members that may not be typical of their neighboring schools. In this way charter schools can serve as laboratories, developing new educational practices that can be later replicated on a broader scale. This freedom to experiment is one reason charter schools have been called "education's best hope." 4
What does this promise look like in action? For this guide, a number of charter schools that are considered successful were carefully examined. The schools were selected first on the basis of student performance: They met 2003 Adequate Yearly Progress goals for their states and demonstrated three years of student achievement growth on standardized tests. They were also selected to represent a range of school types, serving differing student populations and various grade configurations. From over 250 schools nominated, many demonstrated that they were doing an excellent job of educating urban students who have been largely underserved in traditional public schools. A second set of charter schools seem to be meeting the demands of parents in more affluent communities who want an alternative to the local public school program. Very small schools-charter schools in rural areas, virtual technology schools, and home-schooling charter schools-were generally not eligible for consideration in this report because their size made it difficult to meet the testing criteria for participation. Ultimately, eight schools were selected for site visits. While not intended to represent "the best" charter schools in the country, they do provide a window into how autonomy, flexibility, and accountability can work to transform public education. Each school visit took place over one or two days, with observers visiting classes, collecting artifacts that represented aspects of the school's program, and interviewing parents, students, teachers, board members, administrators, and district liaisons. At each school, a set of questions guided the observations and interviews (see figure 2).
Figure 1. Demographics of Profiled Charter Schools
Figure 2. Framework for Site Analysis
I. Mission
II. School Operations and Educational Program
III. Stakeholders
IV. Chartering and Accountability
Among the eight schools represented in this guide, three consider themselves middle schools, one is a comprehensive K-12 school, one is 5-12, another is K-8, and two are elementary schools, one of which includes a preschool program. Student enrollment ranges from 182 at a middle school to 850 at an elementary school. At three of the schools, more than 80 percent of the students qualify for subsidized meals; at three other schools, the percentage is about 20 or less. Three of the schools are chartered by their state, four hold a charter from the local district, and one is chartered by a special chartering authority. The oldest of these schools has been in existence for 10 years; most are five or six years old. Programs vary from college prep to project-based learning, from an arts emphasis to bilingual education. Several programs feature non-violence or character education. Part II presents a concrete portrait of each school, a snapshot seeking to capture the particular ambience of the school culture, its distinctive mission and instructional program, and how it has gone about creating a learning community for its particular school population.
As remarkably diverse as these schools are, they share certain fundamental qualities, core features that seem to be at the heart of the charter process. Part I of the guide highlights those necessary elements of creating an effective charter school.

Hey, Matt: Here's The Great D-Mac Vs. All Those Other Mediocrities Swing-And-Miss Competition
Here's something to look at, referent to this comment:
Dallas seems to be higher than either Rick Monday or Jack Howell in his swing-and-misstitude, but lower than Rob Deer, who somehow cobbled together a career despite it. Still, it would be a lot more comforting to see him strike out in fewer than 30% of his at bats.
Update: Okay, Salmon and Glaus duly added -- making the chart less clear, by the way. As well, I added minor league records for everyone where I could get strikeout data, meaning everyone but Rob Deer.
Can you put Salmon's and Glaus' strikeouts/AB by age on that graph, too. I think someone commented a few days ago (it may have been Matt), that they had really high K rates in the minors as well.
I think a fraction of a rookie season can hardly be used to determine long term ML success. Let's give him a full year before we crucify the dude!
"Crucify"? I certainly think he needs to prove himself at the major league level this year. If he doesn't, something's definitely wrong.
I think it does help, though. You can see that McPherson is definitely on the high end and would threaten for the strikeout record at that pace (which would likely change over a full year).

Re: Virgil Donati
I really love Virgil.
Check out my Sonor/Sabian Kit!
Re: Virgil Donati
sure virgil may not be as easy to listen to as buddy or most drummers, but you cannot deny his ability. just because he doesnt play the style you like, does not mean he is a bad drummer. he could easily play all these styles/genres you guys are talking about. he has pushed the limit on virtually everything there is to be pushed, and i think we should all all give him credit for being the most technically capable drummer of our time.
i need money...
Re: Virgil Donati
Yah i like to think there are 2 types of drummers. theres the type that sound good with whatever they play. Even the ost basic of beats. and then there is th drummers who are Extremely technical. They may not sound as nice, but they can play the most techincal beats and polyrythms! Virgil is one of these! Dont get me wrong, I love both styles!
Re: Virgil Donati
Virgil Rocks:D:D
He was here in Oslo a couple of weeks ago and he held a clinic.
I was blown away. By everything. And he had some awsome ideas about taking simple rudiments and mix with them. Like playing paradiddels in tripplets and so on. And he played Dog Boots:D Love that song.

Great point, Ian! You read my mind. Yes, there are technical drummers who can "bring da funk". Ones' name is Virgil Donati. Thanks and Play On!
Re: Virgil Donati
Virgil definitely has musicality, I think its just he's so out there and advanced, many people cant comprehend whats going on, or have the inclinitaion to want to know. so then it gets back to what you consider musical and bla bla
but yeah virgil has the chops and the music in my opinion.

This might help also. The quality isn't too good, but you'll get the idea for sure!
Those who are settled on hating him will do that no matter what you show to them.
For the rest of you, enjoy!
Re: Virgil Donati w/ Tina Arena
What you've posted here is actually one of the better clips of Virgil I've seen. It's better because it's a pop gig where his passion for pointlessly complex patters which sound like excrement and make no musical sense is reigned in by an MD who knows what the job calls for, but what he demonstrates here is nothing to make him stand out from the huge number of other professional drummers who make their living playing similar gigs.
If you think this Australian Idol-esque gig is a demonstration of a drummer with soul, my advice is: don't finish that whole tub of Haagen-Daaz. I know he dumped you and I know it hurts, but it'll only go straight on your hips, and how are you going to attract a new guy looking like that?
Re: Virgil Donati
OK, what you call pointless complex patterns, I would probably call something different, but in any case, you pretty much proved my point:
Those who are settled on hating him will do that no matter what you show to them.
It all comes down to a matter of taste, and luckily, that can never be debated.
You don't like him, fine. Lots do. This clip was for them...
Re: Virgil Donati w/ Tina Arena
I'm one of those who admire Virgil and think he is a great drummer. However, I do share your opinion about the "You're just a jealous hater unable to understand his playing" quote. In some cases it is a true statement, but most of the time it's an ready-made answer that's very annoying to read or hear.
I'd also like to say that I happily accept the fact that others may not like his playing. That's perfectly fine with me and I'd be the first to tell another "Virgil fan" to let people live their own tastes. All that is being asked in return is respect for Virgil as a drummer and a person, just as due to Vinnie or any other great out there no matter one's tastes.
Peace out,
Re: Virgil Donati
some good responses. for my part i think virgil is interesting but i would not buy the CDs, fascinating but i would not go to all the clinics, amazing but i would not want lessons from him (actually i would but only a few simple things - complex to me but he would be very bored).
it is incredible what he can do both in speed and convoluted time but it does sound like drums falling off a cliff and down a scree slope... if that is music to you - fine. blast beats can sound like lawn mowers. these things exsist and some people get off on them. not me and i would guess not the vast majority of folks in the world. but who wants to always go with the flow? i feel a little pity for anyone who feels that this is the pinnacle of drumming achievement but that's their bag.
i like when virgil tells you what he's about to do and then does it super fast and neat. but that can only hold my attention for a while. i can listen to billy ward drumming all day or run the same steely dan track for weeks on end in my car or wash dishes to buddy rich 'mercy mercy' every night of the week. for virgil i have time for maybe one little clinic every year or two (and even then i switched off in the second half) ... but, that's just me. and probably a few others.
Re: Virgil Donati
I agree with you Nutha Jason, he is great technically, but isn't that good a musician and not great at accompanying other musicians. A high "robot-factor" and it seems a little narcisisstic to override the musicians with the patterns he does.
Nutha Jason, I see you're an admin here. All of the threads are backwards... First post on the last page and vice versa... any clues?

Why, Wy? I was looking forward to that argument. Anyway, you're too late I saw what you wrote. I'll drag you back in here, don't you worry :)
Re: Virgil Donati
pity wy. you could really give us some insight into his philosophy etc. i would be guessing, but i think virgil knows he's not mainstream and that his drumming doesn't suit everybody. i would think he's fine with that...he knows what he does is incredible.
as i stated much earlier in this thread. it is nonsense to believe that virgil cannot do a great job on a simple (or simpler) drum beat...that's like saying someone who walked to the north pole is going to struggle walking down to the shops. its just that virgil prefers the long frozen wasteland hikes while at most i'm a ben nevis man.
i think its down to taste and style. virgil's taste in drums just isn't mine ...though...having said that, i have not i admit really sought his music out and given it a fair listen. but from the clinic i attended and the clips i've seen i know that, like with bozzio, i am amazed but not enduringly interested. if that makes sense.

Just a SMALL list of the incredibly diverse musicians Virg has and still works with. This list does not even include most of the pop/rock/r&b artists that Virg worked with many years ago. Some still do not get it? What you see at a clinic is not representative of what CERTAIN artists are capable of doing. For some maybe not for Virg and other drummers.
Why do the MAJORITY of guys go to see Virg in clinic. Very simple to see what elevates him vastly over most drummers, outrageous technique and concepts, simple as that. He is not there to sound like Bernard Purdie or Carlos Vega. He knows ait and most in attendance obviously know it. Some still do not want to get that fact. But make no mistake
he can and does play pretty much anyway he wants to. Again not that it matters a great deal to him. Who knows how much it matters.
He can play great r&b/pop with Tina Arena and he can play heavy fast instrumental Ala Steve Vai, he can do the very complex progressive rock/fusion of Planet X and he can lay down simple and straight forward pop tracks for a movie score with Jagger and Stewart and he can go to India as of recent and tear it up with Brunel, Gambale and Mitch Forman an incredible fusion band. THAT is reality not what some would like reality to be for Virgil Donati. Oh and by the way he is doing a 4 month stadium tour in Europe with some really popular French artist this spring and summer. The guy stays so busy his head is spinning. For a guy who cannot groove and only can do extreme clinics he has seemed to build a resume that far surpasses even most of the so called groove drummers who do not play with half the artists and have half the gigs that Virg has. My gosh the guy constantly has half a dozen projects he is working with in the backdrop that nobody knows about.
Oh well I think he is too busy making great music with great musicians to worry about what some guys who obviously need to practice and get more work and with not even 10% of his past and current resume think of his ability.
Re: Virgil Donati
I would have to agree with Aidan that Virgil can groove and groove very well.
Check out the Tina Arena stuff....
Also, I guess he's best know for the more complicated playing. He may actually enjoy playing it too.. in which case there's really nothing wrong with it.
I have varied musical taste. Sometimes I'm in the mood to listen to Planet X or Virgil's solo albums... sometimes, it's King's X, sometimes it's Buddy Rich, sometimes it's Chick Corea, sometimes it's the Black Crowes, sometimes it's classical music, sometimes it's The Police, sometimes it's Led Zepplin, sometimes it's Jamiroquai.....etc... (lot's more)
I read through some of the thread.... and some of it seems more like a critique of a musical style... maybe some people don't like that style of music. That's great.
Music is about personal taste, I'm not sure if that gets forgotten from time to time.
If anyone wants to hear a different side of Virgil's playing, check out the toned down gigs.

Re: Virgil Donati
i ve spent two days with virgil in 2004 during his clinic tour in China for interpretation. been a big fan for yrs.(also mangini's in 2002)
now the most memorable part is the most basical part-- watch that video showing single stroke roll in his website, highlights motreal fest~~~ crazy.
imagine what gadd will response to that "how about a single stroke roll" ~~
"humm, i dont think it's the most important thing for speed"
virgil never attend WFD like mangini did, but i m sure he does put a lot effort on that and don wanna be behind ~~
Re: Virgil Donati
Hmmm... yes - Virgil is the Buddy Rich of our time (in the sense that he does things which seem to be impossible to imitate - or even to comprehend). However, in terms of pure musical genius, there's no comparison between them. Buddy had hands like butterflies... sooo smooth, his phrasing qualities daily stand the test of time (as we can see as far as enthusiastic youtube.com comments go...).
Virgil's feet revolution is unbelievable; Buddy's hand techniques, total smoothness in his single strokes and buzz rolls (and so forth) are unmatched. Both are great in my book, but no one beats buddy as far as spontaneous creativity goes - not just that, he actually had all the technical proficiency needed to execute whatever he might have though at any given moment. Virgil is unbelievable, but Buddy was a genius. That's my understanding on the subject (and Planet X totally kills, definitely).

Re: Virgil Donati
I can speak from all the videos I saw from him. I'm talking from an experienced point of view. I've experienced many videos from Virgil and Buddy, and I personally always stay with the later. Buddy was smooth like butter. If you have the chance, I recommend you to try to understand his hand rudiments in his "Buddy Rich 1970" video... that was a work of a Genius - in MY understanding of what I've heard and saw in that video (and so many others of him...).
I truely believe that Buddy deserves all the enthusiastic praise he oftenly gets - but, again, that's just my perception of what I saw and listened to. With that said, there's possibly no doubt that, in some areas, the bar has been raised to sky-levels beyong what Buddy's single bass pedal could possibly do and create/achieve. Yes. There's no doubt at all.
I really like to emphasize what really deserves to be (imo); in this sense, Buddy's hands and genius once upon a drumset soloing are still unmatched (for me), as much as are Virgil's magnificent feet. :]
Re: Virgil Donati
Virgil Donati is by far the best drummer I've seen. Many people say that he has no feel, but I think they're wrong, just download some videos of Virgil grooving instead of the typical drumsolo videos everyone downloads and you will see that Virgil can groove extremely well. In the technical aspect he is the best of the best, and if you want to learn a thing or two just watch some online masterclasses on his site.
Virgil never stops to amaze me, his control, power, speed, coordination is way over the leagues. I believe that many future generation will be heavily influenced by this great drummer.
Check out my Sonor/Sabian Kit!
Re: Virgil Donati
Ash, you are a drummer who has found a comfort zone and settled.
To restart this thread, it was a search for the "New Buddy", which if you ask me, is a fast set of rudimentary hands. Buddy never had any startling foot work. He had Moeller down before drummers even really knew to learn it. He inspired many of todays drummers to be who they are, but he was in a time where things were swing, jazz, or big band.
These genres aren't too different.
Comparing a fast jazz to fast prog metal is flat out mind boggling.
Virgil Donati, is a better drummer. There is no way around it. He had Buddy as an influence and in no way has his hands, but his foot work along with his hands takes many inspirations and alot more hard work and coordination. Virgil has this unfair advantage.
No, you can't tap your feet to his music and no, he's not a showman.
What you guys are looking for is Mike Mangini's hands on a guy who has little foot knowledge.
So I say todays Buddy Rich is Jeff Queens behind the set. Drumcorp speed, rudiment, and perfection with who knows how much footwork.
Overall, drummers of today inspire different crowds of drummers. This little battle to us means nothing to a Greenday/Wolfmother fan, because they listen to generic beats and melodies. We have Kenny Aronoff to fill those venues.
To Jazz people today, Dave Weckl is the first to mind.
Stanton Moore in Funk, well, New Orleans Jazz, but I'd say he's pretty funky.
Jojo Mayer is all over the European techno scene?
Thomas Haake, Mike Portnoy, etc. own the "musical" prog.
Back then, there was Buddy, then maybe Ringo... who doesn't compare to anyone on this list at all. He inspired with the Beatles, but should have gotten inspired by Buddy, because his technique etc isn't too good.
Lang, Mangini, and Donati are the guys who get paid by drummers to be better then us. Frankly, I don't sit down and say "Lets listen to a 19:16 time signature", but wow am I impressed to know somebody figured it out. Mangini's solos lose a musicality, but when I did the one handed snare roll, non-drummers thought it was cool. I wish I could do a double stroke roll with my feet, so I'm working on it, thanks Virgil. I also wish I had Buddy's hands.
I've rambled on long enough,
Re: Virgil Donati
There is FAR more to having great hands then being rudimentally impressive on the snare. Buddy had insane hands but his diversity with his hands does not blow me away at all. I have Virgil's new dvd and he is doing things with his hands utilizing the WHOLE kit that I have never seen anyone pull off. Virgil's hands are FAR better then what some think. The dexterity, the speed, the power, endurance, and precision that it takes to pull off what he does with his hands is astounding. From top to bottom technically he is the most advanced IMO period. Virgil has the hands and the feet and the insane interdependence and he grooves his Ass off. It might not be the music one likes but he spends 90% of the time laying down insane grooves instead of blowing chops. He is far more these days into extreme rhythm then showing how many licks he can throw in over 4 bars. I hear far more guys blowing needless and repetitive chops in the song context then Virg ever has. He would rather let his bandmates shred while he is modulating and subdividing time and displacing the beat. His clinics are not what he does on record. People should know his main influence on his writing/drumming is actually classical and what he does comes from a source having a strong harmonic influence.
Re: Virgil Donati
Jeff Hamilton, Peter Erskine, Brian Blade etc those are some brilliant jazz cats!
Jojo Mayer is top notch if you talk about modern music, wheteher hip-hop, d'n'b, techno, r'n'b, also, he's an awsome jazz drummer, just check out his playing with Depart http://youtube.com/watch?v=OPQVtIz3zkE
also, I love those two pics, a teacher and his pupil :-)

Re: Virgil Donati
Virgil is coming to South Africa next month for a drum clinic. Should be pretty damn good. Can't wait.
Re: Virgil Donati
Virgil Donati is not from this planet. He is in his own league when it comes to creativity, innovation and interdependence. He has mastered the drum solo, IMO.
He also has tremendous groove, which people tend to overlook because of his ridiculous time signatures. His clinics are the most entertaining I've ever seen, it's like a freak show.

Virgil Donati has got amazing technique and extrudinary musical ability!
I love how he adapts to the bands he has worked with although I aint much a fan of his solos! (exept the one during 'Incantation - Steve Vai')

Re: Virgil Donati
His clinic last night was out of this world. I agree that his complex time signature work is not stuff I'll go out and buy or choose to listen to, but to see it in action is something else. I also love the way he breaks some of it down afterwards (and gets the audience to try some really simplified, slowed down versions) and then he speeds it up to show you where it could go. And that a complex kind of groove can actually emerge from all this madness. He's also got a great dry sense of humour and everyone left the venue totally entertained. And quite humbled by their new insights into independence.
Re: Virgil Donati
To break time down and to stretch it, is something Indian percussionists have been doing for centuries...What Virgil is doing on the drumset is what people like Zakir Hussien & Tilok Gurtu were doing 20 years ago
check Zakir out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_XFE...elated&search=
Re: Virgil Donati
And what Zakir, and Tilok were doing has been going on for a lot more than 20 years.
Re: Virgil Donati
[quote=toteman2;351307]Though the video was pretty cool, I fail to see how this relates to Virgil in anyway, or the things he's done, or is currently doing.
He is subdividing rhythms and doing polyrhythmic figures by accenting the un-obvious ( e.g.the 2 or the 4) , a 5/4 pattern with his feet under a 4/4 with his hands. If the 1 is hidden, or shifting over the course of many bars, this creates some incredible textures.
I think Thomas Lang and Steve Smith are exploring the same areas too. A time signature only means where a note is accented, or where a pattern begins to repeat itself.
Indian percussion principles have always operated on similar theories. Rhythms are based on the accented notes, or groupings of accented notes.instead of just a meter. You could almost look at them as a melodic phrase.
You are right on about all this being much older than Zakir and Trilok, but these are the guys who have brought this music to the world stage which, in my opinion, is inspiring drumset players to delve into this universe, really for the first time.

Re: Virgil Donati
I can't say I like Virgil donati, I find his drumming very mechanical and boring, and constant doublebass in solo's gets to me after awhile. I tried really hard to get into him, but he just isn't my type of drummer.

we're currently in the process of putting together our own server Firewall/Router. We were going to use a dedicated solution from someone like Juniper or Watchguard, but it is going to be a lot more cost-effective if we use a server machine we were planning to get already, instead.
About us: We're a website that is going to have two servers behind the Firewall/Router Server (a web server and a database server). All three servers are going to be running Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.
Excuse the crudity of my diagram (I know it's not even close to being technically correct, but it hopefully makes our topology a little clearer)...
We are using RRAS to configure our routing. At the moment this is configured to give our Web App server internet access (through RRAS's NAT) but I need to set up port forwarding so that any request to port 80 is sent directly to the Web App server.
Would Windows Advanced Firewall do our required job acceptably? (I imagine the answer to this is yes.)
Setting up a VPN has been a pain so far (certificates are annoying!). Every tutorial I've seen seems to have a DNS and DHCP roles running on their VPN machine... why is this? Are they both necessary or can I bin them?
Are the any more tips on how to configure this server for our needs?
Thanks for any advice. I'm sorry if this is a really badly asked question! (There is a bounty, at least :)

It's a bit better than the response after Katrina (hurricane in Lousiana) - where they ran out of ammunition in the neighbouring states as folks armed up for the incomming invasion of refugees <missing a bittersweet smiley here>.
The state of Texas welcomed approximately 1/4 of the Katrina refugees. 37% of those folks chose to make Texas their new home.
Criminals amongst refugees is a valid concern. For example, providing refuge for Katrina victims resulted in a very significant increase in murders (and other violent crimes) in Houston.

Welcome to
Bobbi Brown
After graduating, Bobbi headed for New York City to work as a professional makeup artist, but soon became frustrated by the lack of flattering makeup on the market. A chance meeting with a chemist at a magazine photo shoot changed everything. "I had the idea to create a lipstick that didn't smell, wasn't greasy, and looked like lips, only better". The idea became a reality with the creation of ten lipsticks that enabled a woman to create an infinite number of wearable shades, just by mixing and blending them.
The beauty revolution...
Bobbi debuted her line of lipsticks in 1991 at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City – and it was clear that a beauty revolution was underway. Women instantly embraced her uniquely flattering makeup and realistic approach to beauty.As an entrepreneur, wife, and mother of three, Bobbi continues to strike a chord with consumers – it's about achieving and maintaining balance, cultivating a positive outlook, and loving yourself the way you are.

Shark attacks surfer near North Jetty
A man surfing near the North Jetty was bitten by a shark Sunday morning.
The surfer -- whose name was not released Sunday -- is expected to recover after getting bit on the thigh at Bunkers, a popular surf spot near Humboldt Bay.
According to witness accounts, the attack occurred at about 8:45 a.m. People on the beach at the time were able to stop the bleeding with towels as emergency personnel responded.
Despite the gate leading into the area being closed due to the government shutdown, a Bureau of Land Management caretaker was able to open it allowing an ambulance to access the man.
Bunkers was the site of Humboldt County's most recent shark attack when surfer Scott Stephens was attacked by a great white in Oct. 2012 and lived to tell the tale.
