"I really love this card! I opted for the shimmer and I am very glad I did. It added that elegance I was going for. Nice thick card stock so no cards came bent. I liked that you could pick out the backside color/design. I would have loved to be able to choose orange not the brown as it coordinates better with the card. I chose the feather look for the full thanksgiving look and I liked it. My favorite part was being able to add my return address, my guests name and addresses and chosing to have the postage all done by tiny prints! It saved me time and that's amazing! GREAT service!!! All in all, a GREAT product!"

CDs are complete and look and sound fantastic! They're now for sale on CDBaby right HERE. We recommend ordering the physical copy vs. just downloading MP3s – the CD includes a beautiful insert with original artwork and the lyrics to all the songs.
There are no new productions in the works at the moment, but, as always, various conversations underway. Watch this site for details and links. In the meantime, we have all kinds of tasty goodies from the show for your entertainment:
NEW: Original cast member, filmmaker and musician extraordinaire Dean Mermell created a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the original San Francisco production. We hope you enjoy it!
Here's a Sizzle Reel which captures some of the energy and joy of these performances. Mark has excerpted a few tasty cuts from our DVD on YouTube: check out a bit of Gypsy Dogs, and also Poison Path. More videos are linked from our site here.
You can see a bunch of beautiful pictures of the show and cast by Michael Rauner here. He also created a beautiful book of pictures of the show, available for purchase directly through his site.
Keep your eye on the Watch & Listen page.
If you missed the SF show, you can get some sense of what we were up to with these links: Here's one review by Laura Casey of the Oakland Tribune, one on LaughingSquid from Mikl-Em, some nice Yelp feedback, and another from Jamie Freedman of the SF Examiner. In addition to Michael Rauner's beautiful pictures of the dress rehearsal, the show 1/6, and some cast members, John Curley came to a rehearsal in Oakland and published a beautiful blog — HIGHLY worth reading and checking out his pictures! And for you non-Burners, here's a fun blog post by a newbie who came and enjoyed the show. And our local NPR station did a really nice little piece, which is great because it has music clips as well as the explanations!
Looking forward to bringing you some more magic soon! And of course we'd love to hear from producers who want to bring the Burning Opera to YOUR town!

Barack Obama was blasted by Fox News and the right wing media for bowing to the emperor of Japan and termed a weakling who had insulted America. But, for some reason, Fox News is not upset when the Israel government insults the vice president of our country. Joe Biden was in Israel to reaffirm America's commitment to its security and support for peace efforts that could end the threat of violence for Israelis. Even as he spoke, the Netanyahu government announced the government had approved construction of 1,600 new houses in E. Jerusalem, an action bound to infuriate Palestinians. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Netanyahu to make clear the action was "insulting to the United States" and since he headed the Israel government it was his fault.
David Axelrod, an aide to Obama who many Israelis hoped with be their voice in the American government repeated Clinton's statement by saying "it was an insult" but even more insulting was effort by the Israel government to "undermine" Middle Eastern peace efforts.
Isn't it about time the US withdrew its ambassador to Israel for one month as a sign of our growing anger toward the Netanyahu government's efforts to thwart peace?

Frank Biela and Marco Werner drove the Infineon Team Joest Audi R8 to a dominating win in today's American Le Mans Series Le Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres on the historic Trois-Rivieres street circuit in Canada.
The German duo scored their third American Le Mans Series win of the 2003 season in the LMP 900 class, leading all 169 laps that comprised the three-hour timed event on the 1.521-mile circuit.
"I have a lot of experience on street circuits, and you have to like street circuits in order to do well on them," said Werner, a veteran driver who is in his first full season on the series. Werner had qualified the Audi R8 on the pole in Saturday's qualifying and drove the first hour of the event.
"JJ Lehto pushed me really hard in my stint," he said. "I could never get more than four or five seconds ahead of him. It was a difficult stint with the traffic, and there was a lot of pressure."
Johnny Herbert and Lehto finished second in the ADT Champion Audi, falling out of contention due to pitting just before a full-course yellow and losing a lap. Although Herbert was able to pass Biela late in the race and make up the lap, he did not have time to challenge for the win.
"For 25 or 30 minutes I pushed hard to keep him (Herbert) behind me," said Biela. "If there had been another yellow, he would have been right back behind me racing for the lead. I finally let him go with five minutes left because I thought it would be safe at that point."
Olivier Beretta and David S****ns third in the JML Team Panoz Panoz LMP 01, the best finish of the season for the Panoz team.
Oliver Gavin and Kelly Collins won the GTS class in a Chevrolet Corvette C5-R, finishing fourth overall, with the other factory Corvette of Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell finished fifth overall and second in class. The two cars battled back and forth for most of the race but Gavin was able to drive away from Fellows in the last 45 minutes of the race to record the second win of the season for he and Collins.
"Our cars were very equal, but I cooked the brakes in my first stint when I was following Tomas (Enge)," said Gavin, referring to the GTS polesitter in the Prodrive Ferrari 550 Maranello. "That allowed the other car to run ahead of us for a lot of the race, then we got back ahead and I think traffic cost Ron a lot of time in the end."
Jon Field and Duncan Dayton won the LMP 675 class in the Intersport Lola EX257-MG, the only LMP 675 car still running at the finish. Both cars from the Dyson Racing stable had mechanical problems after running first and second for most of the race. However, the Intersport team was happy to just be racing after losing its car in a practice crash last week and then renting an older model MG-Lola that had to be flown in from England on short notice.
"It's great to get this result after the bad luck that Duncan had last week with that wreck," said Field. "Our guys worked really hard to make this happen and our thanks go to Chamberlain for helping us. Duncan called me on Monday and said 'let's go for it,' so we did and I'm glad he had the idea."
Lucas Luhr and Sascha Maassen won the GT class in the Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RS, finishing three laps ahead of the Risi Competizione Ferrari 360 Modena of Ralf Kelleners and Anthony Lazzaro. It was the third win in four ALMS races this year for Maassen and Luhr.
The ALMS will have a weekend off before concluding its two-race Canadian swing with the Grand Prix of Mosport at Mosport International Raceway near Toronto Aug. 15-17.

Aaron David Miller (born March 25, 1949) is an American Middle East analyst, author, and negotiator. He is currently[when?] Vice President for New Initiatives at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and has been an advisor to both Republican and Democratic secretaries of state. He is currently a Global Affairs Analyst for CNN.[1]
Miller worked for the United States Department of State for 24 years (1978–2003). Between 1988 and 2003, Miller served six secretaries of state as an advisor on Arab-Israeli negotiations, where he participated in American efforts to broker agreements between Israel, Jordan, Syria, and the Palestinians. He left the Department of State in January 2003 to serve as president of Seeds of Peace, an international youth organization founded in 1993. In January 2006, Miller joined the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC, first as public policy scholar, and later as vice president for new initiatives. In 2014, Miller published his fifth book, The End of Greatness: Why America Can't Have (and Doesn't Want) Another Great President."
Miller was born in Cleveland, Ohio on March 25, 1949, the eldest son of Samuel H. and Ruth Ratner Miller.[2][3] Miller lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland with his wife Lindsay. They have two children: Jennifer and Daniel.
Miller began his undergraduate career at Tulane University and spent a semester at the University of Warwick on a history honors exchange program before graduating from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in 1971. Continuing on toward an M.A. in American Civil War history,[4][5] Miller changed fields to Middle East and American diplomacy and spent 1973 to 1974 in Jerusalem studying Arabic and Hebrew. He completed his Ph.D. in 1977. His dissertation, Search for Security: Saudi Arabian Oil and American Foreign Policy, 1939–1949 was published by the University of North Carolina Press in 1980, and in paperback in 1991.[6][7][8]
Government career[edit]
Miller entered the Department of State in November 1978 as an historian in the Bureau of Public Affairs Office of the Historian, where he edited the documentary series Foreign Relations of the United States. In November 1980, he became the State Department's top analyst for Lebanon and the Palestinians in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR). Awarded an International Affairs Fellowship by the Council on Foreign Relations, he spent 1982–1983 at the Georgetown Center for Strategic and International Studies and the CFR in New York where he wrote his second book, The PLO and the Politics of Survival. The following year he returned to INR and served a temporary tour at the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan before joining the Secretary of State's Policy Planning Staff in 1985. Between 1985 and 1993, Miller advised Secretaries of State Shultz and Baker, helping the latter plan the Madrid Peace Conference of October 1991.
In June 1993, Miller was appointed as the Deputy Special Middle East Coordinator.[9][10] For the next seven years, Miller worked as part of a small interagency team where he helped structure the U.S. role in Arab–Israeli negotiations through the historic Oslo process, multilateral Arab–Israeli economic summits, Israeli–Jordanian peace treaty, and final status negotiations between Israel and Syria and between Israel and the Palestinians at Camp David in July 2000. Miller continued work on the Arab–Israeli issues in the George W. Bush administration[11] where he served as the Senior Advisor on Arab–Israeli negotiations in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs to Secretary of State Colin Powell.[12] He resigned from the Department of State in January 2003 to become President of Seeds of Peace.[13]
After government[edit]
In January 2006, Miller became a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars[14] where he planned and participated in programs on the Middle East and Arab–Israeli issues. In 2008, he completed his fourth book, The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search for Arab–Israeli Peace, an insider's look based on 160 interviews with former presidents, secretaries of state, Arabs, and Israelis, American Jews, Arabs, and evangelical Christians on why America succeeded and failed in Arab–Israeli diplomacy over the past forty years.[15]
Media and public speaking[edit]
Throughout his career, Miller has made frequent media and speaking appearances as an expert on Arab–Israeli and Middle Eastern issues, including on CNN,[16][17][18] PBS,[19] Fox News,[20] the BBC,[21] the CBC,[22] and Al Jazeera.
In 2005 Miller was a featured presenter at the World Economic Forum in both Davos and Amman, Jordan. He has also lectured at Harvard University, Columbia University, New York University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, The City Club of Cleveland, Chatham House, and The International Institute for Strategic Studies.
His articles and op-ed pieces have appeared in numerous publications, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Wilson Quarterly, and The International Herald Tribune.
Miller has received the Department of State's Distinguished, Meritorious and Superior Honor Awards. Between 1998 and 2000, he was appointed by President Clinton to serve on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Governing Council.[23] In 2005, he was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.[24]

The "Octopus Tap" is a standard push-powered keg tap with only half-an-octopus' worth of spouts attached. Perfect for those like me who drink alone but wish they could fill their cups four times as fast. The basic Octopus Tap costs $73, plus shipping.

When that fratboy dumbass at the party over pumps this tap, does it work work any better than the regulare one?
insert octo-mom reference here
@1: Can't imagine so, but four people get to suffer at once.
Should I be concerned that the first place my mind goes with this is to evaluate the logistics of a quad keg-stand? Why do people even do keg stands? It just seems like a lot of wasted effort.
IANAE, but the flow is limited by the amount of pressure on the surface of the beer in the keg. Open two taps, and each person gets beer at no better than half the rate.
Get past the cheesy site, but UberDispensing has a similar model (UberTap) with foot pedal for pumping. I have one and can say that it works quite nicely at the yearly post labor day neighborhood party. No issue with low flow with the volume of air the foot pump can maintain on the keg.
Skip the mugs, just gather around the keg and enjoy the beer-hookah together!

My first theme took 15 rejections before it was accepted.
Holy cow! 15!
Don't mean to sound rude dude, but quite honestly, the so called "best in the business" are most likely already otherwise employed and won't bother replying to your call to arms…
I don't mean to be rude either, but "top of the business" here would be people like Derek Harman, Drew Douglass, Elliot Jay Stocks, Jeffrey Way, Brandon aka epicera or our lovely host, Collis (google their names in case you haven't heard of them)
Honestly, these guys seem very busy, so I'd suggest "lowering" your standards and describing your project – maybe it turns out your project doesn't really need "the best of the best"
Again, I'm not trying to be mean either…it's just how things are…
Good luck with your project
Nice blog you've got there Added to bookmarks, will be sure to revisit.
I'm not good at writing, but I'll definitely keep an eye on your blog
lol, some of those look like oversized iPhones
Hey, you should go back and re-read my previous reply… I had to edit it…
Yep, I figured the Google APIs link would go in there.
Thanks buddy!
@digitalimpact: Why not just modify where wp_enqueue_script() loads jQuery from?
You can do that easily by adding this to your theme's functions.php file:function redefine_jquery() { if (!is_admin()) { // comment out the next two lines to load the local copy of jQuery wp_deregister_script('jquery'); wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js', false, '1.3.2'); wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); } } add_action('init', 'redefine_jquery');
Thanks a lot Eight7Teen!
Im going to buy a Logitec X530 Surround Sound I'm with really crappy USB speakers atm with no subwoofer, its horrible when listening to techno
Wooow, Logitech has such a nice looking site
I've always wanted a Z-5500 (here it's 350 euros, not 449 )
If you ask me, the referral program is the thing that need to be reworked…what i mean is, the referral program must work like any other affiliate program out there.
Well, if we DO get 30% off of a no-register purchase, then it does work a little closer to a "regular" affiliate program.
But indeed, getting a commission ONLY from the first purchase is not very motivating. Not to mention that if a person had previously visited the marketplaces (by googling something for ex.), then you get nothing… these SHOULD be reworked indeed…
Well it must be because of the new +2$ pricing system; many people will pay 2 bucks to "save time"...
I couldn't tell about the registrations %, because I've got none for like 2 months:
- December 2009, 562 Clickthroughs, 0 Registered Members
- January 2010, 38 Clickthroughs, 0 Registered Members
Man, where are you posting you ref links? CNN .com, techcrunch? That's a lot of refs, at least for me it is
EDIT @Joost – yes, the new system doesn't require registration. However, you should still get 30% off of their purchase nonetheless…
Well here it costs about 600€ without a subscription to an operator, and a bit less with operator. It's really overpriced here in Belgium
Wow….just checked it out here…
up to 549€ without subscription and 199€ with a subscription. Anyone from the US?
(sorry for going a little off, but I'm really curious)

One Lee's Summit resident is particularly excited to see the winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Lana Yeager is a Russian who immigrated to Lee's Summit about 15 years ago, living here with her American husband Dean Yeager and their son Oliver, who attends Longview Elementary School.
"I'm very, very proud of the Olympics taking place in Russia," Yeager said. "It's a very big deal."
The last time the event was in her country was 1980 at Moscow.
As the 2014 games are underway, starting Feb. 6, she offered to share some insights on Russia with the Journal.
Sochi, a large resort city on the edge of the Black Sea, is actually a warm area so some of the competitions are nearby in the Caucasus Mountains. Although it can be very cold in Russia, its climates vary from Arctic to subtropical.
Russia, the largest country in the world, sprawls through nine time zones (there were 11 zones until officially changed by Russia in 2011.) Compare that to four time zones for the mainland U.S.
In the Kansas City area, there are thousands of ethnic Russians, Yeager said. She's heard the number put at about 17,000 but can't vouch for whether that's accurate.
Yeager said Russia, like the U.S., is a multicultural country and one of the most diverse in the world, with hundreds of different ethnic groups.
For the most part its ethnic groups mix and get along, intermarry and are "very friendly," she said.
Russian is a term not only is a nationality, it also an ethnic group of its own, she said.
In 1998, Yeager said, she wasn't thinking of moving to America, nor had her husband been thinking of bringing a Russian wife to Lee's Summit.
They met through mutual friends. He saw her picture and asked about her. He wrote her, she wrote back. He went to visit in Russia. They married.
She came from a city of 800,000, Ulyanvosk, the birthplace of Vladimir Lenin.
Yeager said arriving in Lee's Summit was a shock.
There were no skyscrapers, streets with few pedestrians. Many Russians think of New York City or Las Vegas when they imagine the United States, she said.
"I thought it was a village, how could I live here?" Yeager said. "Now I really love it, it's really nice."
It wasn't that people weren't friendly, but she wasn't used to people smiling on the street. In Russia, people don't greet strangers. Russians see themselves as a "serious nation," she said.
To her, at first, Americans seemed insincere, fake. Sometimes frightening.
"It frustrates us," she said. "Now I know American people have very friendly natures, sincere and caring."
Although someone smiling and greeting people on the street in Moscow would seem demented, if a visitor was lost and asks for help, the residents would be very helpful, she said. Guests (like her husband when he visits Russia) are treated like kings.
That also threw her. When her husband first took her to visit relatives here, she was shocked that they didn't offer her a meal.
"I thought they don't like me," she said.
In Russia, she said, even if someone drops by unexpectedly, the host lays out a table full of food and drink.
She was surprised at how infrequently Americans walk, how often they eat out, and at the huge portions served in restaurants.
In addition, Americans dress more casually, she said.
Yeager said here she encountered some funny misconceptions about Russia, like Moscow is always frozen, or bears walk the streets.
The city has four seasons, similar to Missouri, although it might be a little colder in winter and cooler in summer, she said.
Moscow, the Russian capital, for the past 10 years has been the most expensive city in the world in which to live, Yeager said.
Russia has vast natural resources and Moscow is flooded with wealth from those industries, she said, although that prosperity hasn't flowed into all the provinces, which can have substandard roads and other services.
Russians are traveling more, joining the global community, on the Internet, using iPhones and iPads made specifically for that market, she said.
Not unlike the U.S., people gripe about government spending. There's a sizable number of Russians who are complaining about the expense of the Olympic Games, when the money could be spent on "problems of every day people," Yeager said.
She returns to Russia twice a year, she said, working on a degree in literature there. She already has a music degree.
Yeager said that when she first arrived in America, her English was limited, so one of the first things she began was language classes. She and her son, Oliver, speak Russian at home, and he is learning Spanish.
She works as Director of Language Services for All World Languages and Cultures, a Lee's Summit company that offers language services and cultural diversity training. She volunteers to represent Russia at ethnic festivals.
She performs her own songs and traditional Russian folk music songs and she recorded two compact discs.
She's proud of Russia's heritage, its world-renowned reputation for ballet, literature and music composers. For example, Tchaikovsky, who wrote the score for The Nutcracker ballet, was Russian. The composer of God Bless America, Irving Berlin, was a Jewish immigrant from Belarus, part of the Russian empire.
"After a few years, I became one of you guys," Yeager said. "If there's an American team, and no Russian, I will be for the American. If there are both Russian and American teams, my husband and I will cheer for different teams."

Tennessee placekicker Daniel Lincoln and center Cody Sullins were named Thursday to the Academic All-District 4 second team by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Lincoln made the District 4 first team two years ago when he connected on 21-of-29 field goals and earned All-America recognition on the field from the Football Writers Association of America. The enterprise management and international business major is a two-time Academic All-SEC honoree sporting a 3.30 grade-point average.
Only a junior in eligibility, Lincoln already owns 40 made field goals to rank sixth all-time at Tennessee. The Ocala, Fla., native completes his undergraduate degree this December.
Sullins finished his finance undergraduate degree in December 2008, sporting a 3.58 GPA. He now owns a 4.0 GPA in graduate communication studies while enjoying the best playing season of his Tennessee career.
A native of Cottontown in Middle Tennessee, Sullins has started and anchored all eight games for the Vols at center, including the last five alongside his twin brother, Cory, playing at guard. The senior entered this year with only five previous game appearances and no starts.
During his time at UT, Sullins has been named three times to the Academic All-SEC squad. He is on course to complete his graduate degree in the spring.

The Takeaway
Internal Memo Reveals Wal-Mart Aware of Discriminatory Pay
Discount retailing giant Wal-Mart is facing the largest class action lawsuit in American history. Over one million women say that the corporation pays both salaried and hourly female workers less than their male counterparts.
While Wal-Mart has been consistent in their defense that this is not the case, Louise Story, Wall Street and Finance Reporter for our partner The New York Times, say her paper has hard evidence to the contrary. A 1995 legal memo obtained by The Times warns the company of their potential legal exposure, and may be a damning piece of evidence in this case.

The modern attack submarine is capable of unleashing an accurate barrage of conventional or nuclear missiles against land-based and ocean-going surface targets while also having the facilities to counter enemy submarines of similar design. Additionally, submarines can be used to assist special forces in clandestine operations. Many modern world navies utilize the submarine primarily as a deterrent element in territorial waters with most forces keeping a standard fleet of about five or more boats.
The American submarine force consists entirely of nuclear-powered boats whereas many competing forces field lower-cost, less-complicated diesel-electric types. The U.S. Navy also has the largest underwater force in the world with North Korea coming in a close second. However it should be noted that the North Korean force is made up largely of coastal-minded attack submarines with limited capabilities when compared to larger, nuclear-powered forms fielded by major powers. The top three major submarine powers, therefore, become the United States, China and Russia who command considerable military budgets to keep their expensive submarine forces afloat.
For the purposes of the GFP ranking, landlocked nations are NOT penalized for the lack of a standing naval force though nations with a standing navy ARE penalized for lacking certain naval assets (like submarines). This GFP listing does not make a distinction between nuclear-powered and diesel-electric types nor does it take into account submarine type (attack, nuclear-capable, etc...), design age, or construction / unit quality / training.
The data presented below is through 2017.

Terry Rossio, 'Pirates' trilogy co-writer, dismissed most of the rumors around the fourth installment of the blockbuster franchise from Johnny Depp's extravagant pay to Tim Burton's directing part.
The recently surfacing rumors around "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" apparently hold no truth in them. Slamming down many of the speculations, Terry Rossio, the co-writer of "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, posted a debunking message, writing on Wordplay Forums, "For the record, none of the recent Pirates 4 rumors have any truth, including the so-called record 50 million dollar payday for [Johnny] Depp."
He then went on to crush other speculations, namely the possibility of either Sacha Baron Cohen or Russell Brand co-starring Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow's brother, and of Tim Burton getting the director part. "Some pretty funny stuff, though. Sacha Cohen? Tim Burton? Studios are way too protective of their franchises for that sort of thing," the "Shrek" co-scribbler claimed.
Whether Rossio's claims over the rumor are true or not is yet to be proven. The mouse house have not come out with any denial or confirmation regarding the circulating rumor, and Cinema Blend has pointed out that there is no indication of Rossio's involvement in the fourth project. The publication has also reasoned that there is still a chance of Burton helming "Pirates 4" since he has recently signed deal with Disney on "Alice in Wonderland".
Though detailed information about "Pirates 4" has remained tightly under wraps, it is said that the new project will be focusing solely on Sparrow's character as it follows the eccentric pirate in his quest to find the Fountain of Youth. In the new adventure, he is forced to team up with Captain Barbossa in order to "defeat some supernatural terror". The new adventure will leave out Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann.

A Tale of Outrageous Voter Suppression in Kansas
August 19, 2012 at 2:48 PM 7 comments
I recommend this post over at The Pragmatic Pundit: I COULD NOT REGISTER TO VOTE! – The Voter Identification MANDATE. It's a maddening tale about a woman's attempt to register to vote after moving to Kansas. Part of what she writes about is observing another lady trying to do the same:
I watched as an elderly woman, barely able to walk grappled with the fact that she still carried her husband's name despite the fact he had been dead for decades. She waved the death certificate and marriage license.
"He was killed in the war….I've lived in the same house for over fifty years….you know me." She was at the brink of tears.
"I understand", the clerk explained. "Don't blame me, blame all these bad illegals who are taking advantage of us all and have made it bad for everybody."
"Well, don't punish me…I am an American citizen….my husband and son both fought and died in wars for this country and I'm not going to be able to vote?"
The clerk handed her a tissue. "What you will have to do is change your name back to your own name." She gave her the address and necessary information. "After you have officially changed your name, bring in the official papers and I will be able to issue you a state ID."
What? Since when is a widow required to change her name back to her maiden name in order to register to vote?

The clerk even knew she was a legal voter. It would seem that a registrar of voters could make the decision to certify her as legal. The new laws seem to be very draconian. Is that the kind of liberty the Repugs want poor young men and women fighting and dying for overseas? Disgraceful! CAMPAIGN ISSUE!!
This is sickening… Vote out anyone who wants to implement laws that restrict the right to Vote.
Voter Fraud is a Non-Existent problem!!
Well, Andy, it wasn't until the GOP embarked on voter fraud, themselves. Voter disenfranchisement is a form of fraud, isn't it? It IS criminal!
Excuse me: was not a problem—

California lawmakers and witnesses at a congressional hearing today voiced growing concerns and frustrations with a proposed California project in the Administration's high-speed rail program that has recently seen its cost and construction time projections increase dramatically compared to earlier estimates.
Today's hearing was the second in a series over the past two weeks focusing on missteps in the Obama Administration's rail program initially funded by the Stimulus. With other large proposed projects under the program having been rejected by their state's governors, the California project remains one of the most high profile in the program that is funding no other projects with any real high-speed potential.
"I am a strong advocate of high-speed rail, which is why I was initially encouraged when the President first announced that the nation would invest in developing this form of transportation," said Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica. "If done right, in a region of the country that makes sense like the Northeast Corridor, we could have launched a successful model for how to build high-speed rail in the United States. Unfortunately the Administration's program turned out to be a bait-and-switch. Almost all of the money has gone to modest Amtrak projects, and now the only project selected that had a chance of offering true high-speed passenger rail -- the California project -- is turning out to be a disaster.
"Because the project's cost is soaring, the amount of time to complete it is growing, and the segment chosen to be built first will not even be able to run high-speed trains, the project is imploding," Mica added. "I am concerned that the nation could spend a huge amount of money on a project that will not result in a high-speed rail success."
"I am deeply concerned about this project," said Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee Chairman Bill Shuster. "In addition to the project's soaring costs, I am particularly concerned about the route selection. The right place to start our investment in passenger rail in California is in the LA basin, the most densely populated area of the state and home to crippling congestion. For approximately half the cost of the $3 billion in federal funds that appears to be on the way to being wasted on the Central Valley initial construction segment, higher speed rail improvements connecting Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County that significantly reduce trip times, increase service, and cut down chronic highway congestion could be put in place in the near- to mid-term. These are the type of common sense corridors that we should be investing in and that would attract both increased ridership and investments from the private sector."
"The California high-speed rail project of today is vastly different from the one California voters narrowly approved in 2008," said U.S. Rep. and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, a panel witness at the hearing. "Since that vote, the cost of building the system has more than doubled -- to nearly $100 billion -- the timeline has been pushed back over a decade, and the people of California are fed up. A recent poll shows that nearly two-thirds of Californians want to vote again, and given the chance, they would vote no. The concerns raised today about California's high-speed rail plan are ones that cannot be ignored, and I thank the Chairman and Committee for their oversight and commitment to ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used responsibly."
"With a population that is expected to grow by twenty-five percent in the next fifteen years, it is vital that we address California's future transportation needs," said Transportation Committee Member Gary Miller. "However, with the national debt now exceeding $15 trillion and the state continuing to grapple with double-digit billion dollar budget deficits, we must ensure that taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely and effectively. I thank Chairman Mica for holding this hearing today to address growing concerns about the rail line's soaring cost and future ridership projections. With billions of dollars on the line, it is essential that these issues surrounding the project's feasibility be addressed as soon as possible."
"The California High-Speed Rail project has spun so drastically out of control even California voters are questioning its viability," said U.S. Rep. Jeff Denham, also a Member of the Transportation Committee. "The project is so far from the original proposal that according to a report from the Legislative Analyst's Office, the business plan does not even meet important requirements of the ballot initiative approved by California voters. I want to create jobs and expand upon our transportation portfolio, but we must be responsible for how we are spending taxpayer dollars. As we learned in today's hearing, the Rail Authority can no longer ignore the facts that the project is lacking oversight and a disciplined plan to attract the private sector investment it needs."
"At a time when the federal government is $15 trillion dollars in debt, borrowing money hand over fist from China to bail us out, we simply cannot afford to throw money at a train to nowhere," said U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who testified at today's hearing. "If the federal government is going to devote money to California's infrastructure development and improvement, it's illogical to start with the creation of this costly and unnecessary high-speed train project."
"I am grateful that Chairman Mica and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure gave opponents of high-speed rail from the San Joaquin Valley of California the opportunity to speak their minds," said Congressman Devin Nunes, who also presented testimony today. "Congress needed to be fully briefed on the skyrocketing costs and unrealistic goals of high-speed rail in California. We need to look for better options such as freight rail and other transportation projects that are more beneficial when compared to this project."
The Committee also heard from a number of additional witnesses, including the Federal Railroad Administration, the California High Speed Rail Authority, the mayors of Tustin and Fresno, the Kings County Community Development Agency, Californians Advocating Responsible Rail Design, and Preserve Our Heritage.

The kids and I love creating holiday decor. Each piece is so special to us and something we end up using year after year. We made these adorable owls using an apple as the stamp. It was so fun for my daughter to turn an apple shape into a very cute fall owl.
I first hot glued a wooden dowel to a square of burlap. This is a step for the grown-up as hot glue is, well, very hot!
We cut some felt into triangles and circles to create owl features, pipe cleaner snips for two little legs, and buttons to add some big owl eyes.

The ancient Persians practiced "Cloud Art". What is Cloud Art?
Cloud art or Ebru is the art of marbling - that wonderful book design technique used for inside book covers on very expensive books. Paints float on a watery paste, then paper is placed on top and printed.

There are some themes that I write about again and again because I know the power behind them. Whether you're just starting a journey of self-improvement or you've been fine-tuning your life for years, transformation isn't random, it's definite. I know that how good or how bad you feel about your life comes down to a couple of key concepts which influence every aspect of who you are, the choices you make, and how you live.
When you are trying to make changes in your life, there are two core steps that are simple to understand but can be powerfully transformative. And those steps are:
1) Change the way you think.
2) Change the way you act.
No matter what books you read about self-improvement or what religious, spiritual, or mindful path you may follow, these are the two themes behind all mental and physical self-improvement. When I'm sharing ideas or strategies, everything circles back around to these two themes, and these are fundamental to your behavior and overall level of motivation. But there are also two sub-themes that I often return to in various forms. Those are:
1) Removing the resistance that blocks meaningful progress. (Which is a key to motivation.)
2) Happiness takes practice.
I know that life can be hard. Sometime you may feel like you don't have the energy or the capacity to do these things; to observe the way you think and act, or to actively participate in removing obstacles or adopting habits of happiness. But even the smallest action or thought, if repeated consistently, will transform your life, at first in small ways and later in big ways.
My goal is to reduce all of this to simple strategies. It doesn't take much to nudge your life in a better direction–just a little something to push you out of your rut or comfort zone. So here is a simple strategy to get you started:
You can begin to remove pain; you can begin to feel even just a little happier and feel like your life is moving forward again just by making a conscious choice to change something, no matter how small your effort is. Start by choosing one thought that doesn't serve you in a positive way, and change it. Let that be a theme for your life until it solidifies. Replace your old and worn-out way of thinking with a new, healthier idea or belief. Keep that new idea, belief, or thought on your mind constantly. Live from the perspective of that new thought. Practice it until it's a part of you. Act from the truth of your new idea and this momentum will carry you forward, slowly but definitely, and your life will begin to transform. Then you will have the capacity to be happy again. Now, repeat this process and keep building yourself up, one better belief at a time.

I have a 64-66 Chevy 283. The motor will turn over fast enough to take a compression test with the spark plugs out but will hardly turn over with them in. I know there are shims that you can put between the starter and bell housing. I don't have any in now. How can you tell if you need them? Are there different thickness shims and are they available? Thanks for your help, you guys have been a big help in the past. I didn't know I was so dumb about relatively simple things. Maybe I'm getting old.
Jerry
[ September 21, 2002: Message edited by: fred56 ]

My first thought would be to blame the battery.You've probably already done that. Next would be the starter and third would be the shims. Yes they do have shims for the starter but if it turns over good without the plugs in it should be OK. NEXT.......
(Don't forget the post and cables)
[ September 11, 2002: Message edited by: Quepas00 ]

Check all battery connections and make sure you have a clean tight ground at battery and between engine and frame. Pull your starter and have it checked for starter draw.
Slider in Wa.
try retarding the timing , to much base timing will cause an engine to roll over slow and hard, check batt cables for good connections and grounds, if everything is ok ,test your batt if ok, then remove the starter and take it to a rebuild shop and have it load tested.

text: Ok so I've been having a problem off and on for around a year now. First symptom I notice is that the Speedometer will start to bounce when idle or driving. Next the gas gauge will start to decline and the temp gauge will go up. Then I will get a misfire on all 4 cylinders. When this first occurred I assumed it was a power issue and had Autozone test the battery which showed bad. Replaced the battery and the issue stopped for a while. Next thought was to replace the alternator. It's now been replaced and the issue is still occurring and seems to be becoming worse. I cleaned terminal connections and grounds using a steel brush. A side issue that just came to my attention is that the Boost Control Solenoid has stopped working. Not sure how long I've had this issue or if its related to the problem. I'm going to have the alternator tested since I did purchase a re manufactured one to see if it might be defective. I also get a squeak during warm up that is coming from around the alternator. Belts are just over a year old and don't have any signs of cracking or wear. Thoughts? Car is stock with K&N Typhoon intake. Car has had a tune in between the issue occurring. Flashed back to stock and issues were still present. Currently on tuned map.

5.0 vs. 5.7
Hey, long time no see. been inactive here for far too long. Unfortunately, I return under difficult circumstances. My 1989 Cadillac Brougham has some pretty terminal chassis rot. I did my best to keep it in check, but most of the rails were rotting from the inside out. I hate to see such a beautiful machine retire on my watch, but that's the way it is.
The real story is, I've got a chance to pick up a really sweet 91 Brougham with only 40,000 miles on it, a real cream puff. It even has the d'Elegance package (no way I could go back to those standard seats after my '89 spoiled me). The only downer is, it's just got the 5.0 liter Chevy engine, and not the 5.7, which is so very coveted. Either engine is going to be a step up from my 89's lethargic 307. Even though this must have been discussed here many times over, I'd like to hear some fresh opinions. Is holding out for a 5.7 really worth it? On paper, it's not much of an increase in power or torque, but I'd love to hear from someone who's driven both and can offer a comparison.
Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
Go for it. Many of the owners here prefer the 305 to the 350 since it rides smoother than the trailer package equipped 350 cars.

Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
If you like the cadillac softness, you'll love the 305. If you want a good base for performance, you'll want the 350. I drove one 305 caddy and it was like the softness of 307 caddies but with more response on the pedal.
Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
I agree; the 305 would be a mild step-up from the 307 because of the Throttle Body Injection system, which offers more engine response. The 350 is more bang for your buck, but it's only marginally better than the 305, and was almost exclusively optioned with the towing package, so the ride quality will be a lot harsher.
The trailer towing package was the only way to get the 350 in 1990 from what I remember, in 1991 and 1992 the 350 could be had separate from the towing package. I owned a 90 Brougham d'Elegance with 350 and tow - to this day I still can't believe how firm that car rode, not very Cadillace-esque. Get the 305 and you will be assured of the smooth and soft Cadillac experience these cars are known for. Good luck!

Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
I can't believe that no one mentioned the fact that Giovanni just waltzes back in here after being absent, and not even a case of beer under said arm to share with the bro's.
Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
Heh, sorry guys. I suppose I should have dropped in every once in a while. If I pick up this new Brougham, I'll certainly share pics.
I was always planning a big restoration for the '89, and I was certainly gonna share that. The restoration finally got under way because I had a beautiful new chevy 350 practically fall into my lap, and that was slated to replace the leaky, tired 307. But now that I have the money, I started peeling back the layers and saw some pretty ugly things. I'd post pics of that, but... that would just be depressing. 24 New England winters and over 200,000 miles without a garage, kinda rough. But hey, as long as my crated 350 keeps, I can always pop it in if the 305 blows... if my father doesn't steal it for his plow truck this winter...
But thanks for the input, guys! A big help, as always!
Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
Yes, sometimes you have to "know when to fold 'em" when it comes to salt belt cars. Been there, done that, will do it again. Harvest the good parts, and move on to something new.
I'd go for the 5.0. It preserves the cadillac ride while giving you better power than the 307. Besides, at 40k miles, the body is barely broke in and the car should serve you well for many many years to come.

Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
I wouldn't take anything but a 350 Brougham, but like someone else said if you don't care about the extra performance and would rather have the softer ride go for what you found.
Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
I had a 350 Brougham, never again. Didn't ride like a Cadillac, trans shifted like a truck, squeaked and rattled with the sunroof option. Had great torque off the line, but man it was a DOG over about 50mph. Get one with the CHEVY 305, the suspension is set up properly for that Cadillac ride. Plus you can always swap in your 350 with minimal fuss if it proves to be too slow for you.
Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
I have not driven either of those cars but I would take 5.7 V8 but don't quote me lol Well, anyway I remember you and good to see you back
May you become happy with your decision
I have never drove the tbi 5.0...but I own a 90 with the 5.7 & use to have a 89 with the carb'd 5.0.
Power on the 5.7 is good, the 5.0 was better than my 4100, but the 5.7 destroys it.
Now for ride quality to me they all have that "Cadillac" ride.
Just my opinion though...
- 01-24-13 03:44 PM #14Originally Posted by AElayyat
However, my brougham with the '87 350 motor would obliterate the tbi 5.0 and 86-90 307.
I've never driven a 90 tow pack brougham, so I can't comment on the ride of one, but it can't be any worse quality wise than all of the old caddys out there with original, worn out suspension that bobs arounds and bottoms out.

Re: 5.0 vs. 5.7
I'm of the opinion that most 307 owners who complain about power need carb, EGR or vacuum line work or their cat is plugged. I say that because I test drove a lot of 307s and power was all over the map, esp. on the higher mileage cars. The good ones were completely adequate in any situation save accelerating up a hill with a full load of passengers.
Never drove a 350 Brougham but did hustle a 350 Roadmaster rental from Memphis to Nashville one night in the mid 90s. The 350 felt really powerful and the car was fast.
Never drove a 305 but logically (and from the comments here) it should be similar to a good 307 meaning completely adequate. You would get the same great ride that the 307 cars had and the FI should be easier to keep in tune and pass smog. I can't imagine the 305 being smoother or quieter than my 307, though.
If it's true that getting a 350 car means sacrificing the Cadillac ride that would be a deal breaker for me. The ride is something than cannot be matched by any modern car. It's the thing everyone mentions when they ride in my car, well that and the classic Cadillac leather smell!

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

WBC 51st Convention Opening Ceremony, Meetings and Opening Awards Banquet- Full Day One Report
Report & Photos by Boxing Bob Newman
The 51st annual WBC convention officially opened on Monday morning in Bangkok, Thailand at the Centara Grand Hotel. With over a thousand delegates, current and former champions, and world press on hand, Thailand's General Kovid Bhakdibhumi, a Thai Senator and WBC board member, welcomed the attendees. Kovid invited the board and ring officials to commence with their important work and then to reward themselves with the enjoyment that can be found in the "Land of Smiles."
WBC Executive Secretary Mauricio Sulaiman greeted the attendees, "With a heavy heart, not to replace my father, but to carry out his orders for the success of this convention." Sulaiman explained that Don Jose has suffered several complications throughout his nearly five weeks of post-operative care, but will definitely recover to run the Council once again.
Record setting former WBC Flyweight champion Pongsaklek Wongjongkam addressed the audience next and welcomed all to Thailand. "I am happy to have been a WBC champion and just as happy to have you all here in my country. Enjoy!"
Veteran boxing commentator Bob Sheridan addressed the gathering on his affinity for sanctioning bodies and their work at the annual conventions. "Many of my colleagues are quick to criticize the sanctioning bodies, but yet they never attend the conventions. They never see the work that is getting done here. I'd like to see them show up and then see what they have to say."
Several video greetings were sent, most notably from boxing's "other heavyweight champ," Wladimir Klitschko. Wlad joked, "Even though I can't be there, I have sent a good representative, my brother Vitali!" Hall of Fame promoter Don King also sent his regards to the Council and stated that he'd be visiting the WBC president at UCLA Medical Center as soon as possible.
A video homage to the passing of boxing notables including insiders, promoters, managers as well as fighters who passed in the last year was played. Most notable were the passings of former world champs Emile Griffith and former WBC heavyweight champion Ken Norton.
Mauricio Sulaiman again took the microphone to deliver the president's annual report, as well as address several of his father's primary concerns for the betterment of boxing in the immediate future.
He first ran down noteworthy statistics on the number of regional, silver, male, and female WBC world title fights. Sulaiman then shared his father Don Jose's wish list for boxing in 2014:
-Improving scoring methods for close rounds versus comfortably won rounds. Perhaps half-point scoring in such close round situations.
-Electronic scoring implementation. The WBC has been working with Mohegan Sun Casino where an electronic scoring modality has been instituted in recent fights and has been used by judges with improving success.
-AIBA. Jose Sulaiman has championed the cause against the alleged monopolization of amateur boxing by it's supervisory body AIBA (International Amateur Boxing Association)- essentially allowing fighters to fight pro, then fight in the Olympic games after their "practice" pro fights. Those fighters would then be allowed to turn pro, but under the auspices of AIBA, again, an amateur regulatory body. Many entities in the pro ranks have united against AIBA, from promoters to the sanctioning bodies.
-Certification of approved gloves- from approved padding material to the gloves weight variation among weight classes.
-Continued improvements in the medical field in boxing. The recent death of Frankie Leal just over a week ago, as well as recent life threatening injuries to heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov and flyweight Tyson Marquez were noted. In the case of Leal, he had left the ring on a stretcher and was hospitalized after a knockout loss to current IBF featherweight champ Evgeny Gradovich in March of 2012, and had five fights in the ensuing 19 months, with two losses.
-Unity in boxing. Don Jose Sulaiman continues his call for unity especially between television broadcasters and sanctioning bodies. "Together we stand, divided we fall," quoted Sulaiman.
Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Police General Pracha Promnog officially opened the convention after his welcoming speech with the sounding of a ceremonial gong.
Several recognitions were handed out during the opening ceremony. Brazil's 95 year old Newton Campos, a devotee of the WBC since it's inception in 1963 received one such recognition.
WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko was recognized for his work outside the ring. Klitschko's work against bullying was praised as well as his upcoming run for the presidency of Ukraine in the 2015 elections. Klitschko echoed the sentiment, "In order to win, you have to fight."
The WBC Lifetime Achievement award went to Carlos Rodriguez.
Several former and current world champs were called up on stage to be recognized, including Jeff Fenech, Vitali Klitschko and such Thai legends as Pongsaklek Wongjongkam, Saman Sor Jaturong, Napa Kiatwanchai, Veerapol Sahaprom, Venice Borkorsor, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (current WBC super fly champ), Eagle Kyowa, Jelena Mrgdenovich, Xiong Zhao Zhong (current WBC straw weight champ) and Suriyan Sor Rungvisai.
After lunch, meetings commenced in various halls and meeting rooms. The ring officials met in several of the "Lotus" suites to discuss business and training sessions. WBC head of ring officials Hubert Minn conducted the ring officials seminar. Select rounds of several fights, (16 rounds in all) were screened and scored by all attending judges as a scoring exam. The refereeing seminar will be conducted on Tuesday.
The NABF met with recently elected president Duane Ford at the helm. The 2014 convention for the North American body has been decided to take place in Chicago over July 4th weekend at the Hyatt regency.
The WBC medical board met and discussed several topics. Dr. Clive Noble of South Africa discussed glove use among weight divisions, the re-use of gloves in some regions and the newer closed-cell padding. Dr. Helen Clausen of Australia looked cognitive evaluation of fighters and their reaction times over varying post-fight periods.
In the evening, the opening awards banquet took place in the World Ballroom. Several recognitions were made to both champions and WBC staff alike.
Mauro Betti- 27 years of consecutive conventions and Committee of the Year
Charlie Giles- Confederation President of the Year (BBBC)
Duane Ford- Confederation of the Year (NABF)
Lawrence Cole- Ring Official of the Year

What is... Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil?
Deciphering ingredient labels on your favorite foods
Seen on: Graham crackers
This oil is an inexpensive ingredient common to processed snacks. Even when it's not hydrogenated (to produce more shelf-stable, heart-harming trans fats), cottonseed oil isn't your healthiest choice. Per tablespoon, it packs triple the saturated fat of canola and safflower oil; it also has a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (often cited as a contributor to chronic inflammation, associated with various diseases). Need-to-know: In small amounts (as shown here), its health impact is probably negligible. Still, you might want to consider paying slightly more for a product that's made with more nutritious oils, such as canola.

Shae & Jon
May 4
Weatherford, Texas
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
It felt like a secret garden- so beautiful and intimate. It was important to me that our guests felt special (because each one of them is so special to us) and I knew they would feel that way in the garden.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
- My dress!
- The yellow topiaries
- The record on the groom's cake
If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Don't just focus on the wedding. Focus on the marriage too. The wedding lasts for just a few hours and is only the beginning of forever. Yes, the wedding details are important, but a lifetime of companionship is that much more important. Prepare emotionally, spiritually, financially, mentally and any other way to make sure everyday of forever is just as joyous and an equally exciting celebration of life as your wedding.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Only one? It was all such a magical dream that still seems like there is no way it was real. Putting on my dress, seeing Jon, walking down the aisle, taking millions of pictures, dancing in the garden, and talking to so many friends…I never want to forget a single detail of the most magical day when I promised to love my best friend forever.

When you think of handmade gemstone jewelry, you may think of your weird aunt, still living in the 1960's and her macramé beaded "creations." Or, you may think of the junky trinkets sold at your local art and crafts fairs. But not to fear, there is another type of handmade jewelry that is neither tacky, "retro", nor prone to falling to pieces after a few times of wear.
Modern, high-end jewelers create handmade gemstone jewelry that will stand the test of time and hold up against any piece you could find in any store. "Handmade" does not mean "homemade" – it means that it was crafted by a professional, a craftsman, and someone who cares about and takes pride in the work they do. There is nothing quirky or tasteless about it.
If you have seen the handmade creations of modern jewelers, you will see nothing like what you imagined. Handmade jewelry can be exquisite, intricate, and timeless. Take a look at women walking down any red carpet event and you will see them adorned with many different types of handmade pieces. Jewelry that appears to come from the larger jewelers may well be handmade creations, custom-made for just such occasions. In fact, in many cases, you can't tell a quality piece of handmade jewelry from those of famous well-know jewelry designers.

BEAUTIFUL SWIMMERS (original 1976; edition 1994)
by William W. Warner
Work details
Beautiful Swimmers: Watermen, Crabs and the Chesapeake Bay by William W. Warner (1976)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Beautiful Swimmers of the title are the Atlantic blue crabs aka Callinectes sapidus Rathbun and over the course of the book Warner gives the reader a detailed story of the crabs life cycle and habitat. We are also treated to a wonderful depiction of the Chesapeake as one of the most important estuaries in the world and the lives of the watermen who ply its bays, creeks, and marshes and make their living from its bounty. I really enjoyed Warner's narrative as he went out in all seasons with the watermen, helping (where he could) with their harvest and listening to their stories. Definitely recommended.
This book is everything you have ever wanted to know about crabbing in the Chesapeake Bay. Seriously. It's an extensive look at the watermen who make their living hauling up blue crabs. More than a science tutorial on the quick and aggressive critters, it is also a lesson in personality - the type of individual who makes a living hauling in crabs. The illustrations by Consuelo Hanks are phenomenal.
William Warner's Beautiful Swimmers is a classic piece of narrative non-fiction, and a fine introduction to the blue crabs of Chesapeake Bay and the working lives of the "watermen" who pursue them. It bears comparison to Rachel Carson's The Edge of the Sea (for its attention to natural history, and its deft integration of the latest scientific data), to Henry Beston's The Outermost House (for its portrait of a beautiful, isolated coastline), and to Michael Ruhlman's Wooden Boats (for its sympathetic portraits of people whose work keeps alive a slowly dying art), but its greatest strength is the way it combines those elements. The design of Chesapeake Bay workboats, changing state and federal fisheries regulations, the economics of the seafood business, and the changing demographics of the bayside communities come into the story, too. Warner's goal is to craft a fully rounded, fully integrated portrait of the watermen's world, and he succeeds – brilliantly.
Published in 1976 and based on visits made over several years, Beautiful Swimmers describes the Cheasapeake, and the watermen, as they existed forty years ago. It is, in other words, a time capsule: A window on a world that no longer exists. The middle-aged watermen that Warner put to sea with are retired or dead, now, and the younger ones now grown to gray-haired patriarchs for whom the early seventies are a distant memory. Development, tourism, pollution, and overfishing have – if four decades of changes to my coastal New England home are a guide – erased some of the uniqueness, and some of the insularity, of the world that Warner wrote about.
If Warner could, as he wrote, see such changes coming, he kept his thoughts about them to himself. Beautiful Swimmers isn't a prescription for what the Bay should become or a cautionary tale of what it might become. It's a beautifully crafted declarative sentence of book that quietly says: "At this place, in this time, this is how it was."
This is a truly wonderful book and it is gratifying to know it won a Pulitzer, because its merits are obvious. The story begins as one about the blue crab—beautiful swimmer—but seamlessly shifts focus to watermen, their lives, and the history, culture and ecology of the Chesapeake. Scenes are vivid, characters leap off the page, and the author's genuine regard for his subject surges through the work. He deftly applies what must have been extensive scholarly research and considerable field observation in a manner that is free from pedantry or the self-indulgence that sometimes colors the exposition of a writer passionate about his subject. It was with eagerness that I returned to each section and with delight that I left it. Warner makes a compelling case for the protection and conservation of the bay without ever preaching or badgering. His admiration, and love for this particular piece of creation, its creatures and the lives of those living there shine through, and make one want to share his concerns.
Man, they should make this mandatory reading for people who live in DelMarVa and DC. Great book of local culture and history.
