Dan Bacalzo • New York City • Oct 14, 2004
Weaver captures the man's strength of character along with the frailty and uncertainty that he experiences as his mind and body begin to fail him. Biddle suffers lapses during which he cannot remember things he's done or conversations he's had. "It's as if my mind excuses itself without my permission," he states. The actor has a magnetic stage presence, combined with subtle mannerisms that successfully convey a plethora of non-verbal information. Brazda, as Biddle's no-nonsense secretary, is also quite good; she, too, is capable of demonstrating her character's idiosyncrasies and emotional states even when she's not speaking. The performers work well together, making this theatrical two-hander a pleasure to watch. Both have perfect comic timing that brings out the humor in the text.
Glass's play seems at first to be fairly formulaic: A young secretary goes to work for an old curmudgeon, they clash over entrenched traditions versus new ways of doing things but eventually gain respect for one another. However, much more is going on here than is initially apparent. An entertaining, character-driven drama, Trying also functions as theatrical biography. There's plenty of historical information about Biddle's past, from the Nuremberg Trials for which he sat as a judge to regrets over his role in the Japanese-American internment during World War II, all of it seamlessly woven into the narrative. But the play never becomes about such historical details; rather, they are used to offer insight into the character of Judge Biddle.
The play's treatment of the characters' relationship is quite complex. Biddle comes from a distinguished Philadelphia family, went to Harvard, and is a stickler for proper grammar; Sarah hails from Canada, didn't attend an Ivy League college, and resents other young women's easy advancement because they did go to the "right" schools. Yet the class conflict between the two is not as clear-cut as it might seem; Biddle's own position vis-à-vis his social class is complicated by his history of New Deal legal activism. In the play, Biddle has not fully let go of the elitism that is his birthright, and Sarah's reminders of his progressive stances on various issues highlight the man's internal contradictions.
Glass has written lots of snappy dialogue that's brought to vivid life by Weaver and Brazda. Directed by Sandy Shinner, Trying is flawlessly paced. Jeff Bauer has designed an attractive, naturalistic set, and it's well lit by Jacqueline Reid. Carolyn Cristofani's costumes and Andrew Hopson's sound design also contribute to the production's effectiveness. Still, it's Weaver who makes the strongest impression; his performance is definitely not to be missed.

NARDELLI MAINTAINS HIS POINT LEAD WITH A THIRD PLACE FINISH AT BRIDGEPORT firstname.lastname@example.com
Sicklerville, NJ (May 26, 2015) – Due to his third place finish on Friday, May 22 in the wingless 600cc Micro-Sprint feature at Bridgeport Speedway, Lee Nardelli maintains his point lead in the season long chase for the coveted championship.
Nardelli qualified for the 20-lap main event with a third place finish in his heat race. During the feature, the driver from Bridgeton, NJ oscillated forwards and backwards throughout. In the early portion, he was scored in ninth place. By the halfway point, Nardelli had motored into fourth. Three circuits later, he had slipped back to seventh. Determined to stay on top of the point standings, Nardelli was able to climb back towards the front and completed the race in third place. "It was a strange race. Anyone had a chance to win. I hope to get back on the winning horse soon," declared the two time 2015 feature winner. His next race will be on Sunday, May 31 when the second hand of Bridgeport Speedway's Poker Series takes place.
Weber's Automotive of Bridgeton, NJ and Scentsy are Nardelli's marketing partners. For the remainder of the 2015 racing season, a wide array of partnership packages are available for Nardelli Racing. Interested parties can contact Wiz Motorsports Communications owner Mike Wisniewski at email@example.com for additional details on how Nardelli Racing can positively impact your business.

Nuclear talks between Iran and world powers entered new territory Tuesday as negotiators embarked on what both sides predicted will be a long and difficult path towards a lasting deal.
The aimed-for historic accord would essentially let Iran retain its civilian nuclear programme, but on a modest scale and with enough oversight to make developing atomic weapons all but impossible.
Success could lead to Tehran and Washington normalising relations after a 35-year chill and could even bear fruit in other areas, such as Syria.
But failure might lead to conflict.
The scheduled three-day meeting in Vienna between Iran, the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany follows an interim deal struck in Geneva in November that they now want to transform into a permanent agreement.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who Tuesday took to Twitter to denounce nuclear weapons, set a cautious tone Monday when he said this effort would "go nowhere" but that he was not against trying.
"It is probably as likely that we won't get an agreement as it is that we will," said one senior US administration official.
"But these negotiations are the best chance we have ever had."
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was more upbeat, saying late Tuesday that a deal was "totally achievable" but needed "some innovation and some forward thinking".
On Tuesday the parties held two plenary sessions as well as several bilateral meetings, including a "productive" 80-minute one between the Iranian and US delegations, a senior US State Department official said.
A spokesman for the world powers' lead negotiator, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said the aim of this Vienna round was a "workable framework to facilitate these negotiations".
Iran has long been suspected of seeking atomic weapons, despite its denials, and the US and Israel -- the latter assumed to have a large atomic arsenal itself -- have never ruled out military action.
- 'Band-aid solution' -
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.
Signup to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
Under the November accord which took effect on January 20, Iran scaled back certain nuclear activities in exchange for minor sanctions relief and a promise of no new sanctions.
The freeze only lasts until July 20 -- although it can be extended -- and experts say that success in Geneva came at the price of postponing the really difficult issues.
"Geneva really was a stop gap, a band-aid solution that didn't really heal the wounds," Siavush Randjbar-Daemi, Iran and Middle East lecturer at Manchester University, told AFP.
Under the "comprehensive" solution that the parties aim to sew up by November, the six powers want Iran to scale back for a "long-term duration" its nuclear programme.
This might include closing the underground Fordo facility, slashing the number of uranium centrifuges, cutting the stockpile of fissile material, altering a new reactor being built at Arak and tougher UN inspections.
In exchange, all UN Security Council, US and EU sanctions on Iran -- which are costing it billions of dollars every week in lost oil revenues, wreaking havoc on the economy -- would be lifted.
But whether Iran will play along remains to be seen. Before the talks, Tehran had set out a number of "red lines", including a refusal to dismantle any facilities.
- Washington's watching -
Those in Vienna will be well aware that whatever they agree will need to be sold not only to other countries like Israel and the Sunni Gulf monarchies, but also back home.
US President Barack Obama has members of Congress breathing down his neck, threatening more sanctions and demanding -- with Israel -- a total dismantlement of Iran's nuclear facilities.
Zarif said that talk of new US sanctions had created "a great deal of concern in Iran on whether US is serious about wanting to reach an agreement".
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, whose election in 2013 has helped thaw relations with the West, is on thin ice with hardliners seeking to turn Khamenei against him.
"The trouble is that both sides have hard men outside the negotiating room who have to be satisfied," Richard Dalton, the former British ambassador to Tehran now at think-tank Chatham House, told AFP.

donna w from canby, OR recommends this vacation rental
The property was great for our family (enough bedrooms and items needed for stay, i.e., towels, dishes, etc.). Unit was being painted and painters were not intrusive. However, some windows were covered for a day and the smell lasted for a day. On the downside,
the bbq grill was unusable (rusty).
Sunset Lodging was excellent with their service (no pool key when we checked in and it was delivered asap). Everything was clean and ready to use. Would definitely rent again.

It was a perfect layout for 4 friends. The bedrooms were situated for privacy between rooms, though the bunk room had a curtain to the living area. The dining area had a large table so we could play board games. And the carpet seemed very new. The bikes
were usable to take advantage of the trails.

We have stayed in the condo every year for about the last 10 years except for last year and boy did we miss it. We love Sunriver and this condo, it is in a great location and you can walk out the back door and the condo pool is just steps away. There are
many bikes that are there for use along with some pool toys, lawn chairs, etc. I highly recommend this condo.

This Cat Guided A Lost Man Down A Mountain In Switzerland
While dogs tend to get all of the credit for being the world's best rescue animals, one cat has decided to step up and change this perception once and for all. A Reddit user by the name of sc4s2cg got lost during a trip to Switzerland as he was hiking in an abandoned town.
The man was looking over his map to see if he could find a way back to the hostel where he was staying and unfortunately, the only way back was through a trail that was already closed down. For most of us, this is where panic would set in, but this traveler was fortunate enough to make a new friend who was more than happy to help him find his way.
At the moment he realized the trail was closed, a cat showed up at his side. This kitty wasn't merely looking for attention or treats, he was there to help. He took the man on a journey back to the valley that he came from and was even gracious enough to keep looking back to make sure that the lost tourist was following the course that he was setting.
A story like this is always bound to be received with some level of skepticism, especially on a website like Reddit. But after sc4s2cg told his story, the most incredible thing happened. Several other users responded with stories about meeting the very same cat in the very same region and even had the pictures to prove it.
Not only was the man saved by the cat, but he also got the chance to rub elbows with a local celebrity in the process. Those who find themselves lost in Switzerland need not fret, as this helpful guide cat is always on call and ready to provide assistance to people who need help getting back to the village that they are staying in.
Best of all, she did not expect anything in return from the man she helped, parting ways with him as soon as she was certain that he was safe. This selfless cat deserves all of the tummy rubs and all of the treats.
To find out more about this incredible cat and the great work that she does, be sure to watch the following video in its full entirety and take a moment share it with your closest friends and family.


text: We're piling up the attacks on Zinn in the last thread. I just want to say that I feel really conflicted reading all of this, and felt the same responding to his argument. I think I said this at the time that he died, but Howard Zinn really did "knock me on my ass." I had never heard of the railroad strikes in the late 19th century. I didn't know about southern populism. I was 19 years old, and I really thought that the only people who'd suffered anything were African-Americans and Indians.

Whichever way one looks at it, we can't avoid being an island nation with finite mass.
Our island space is filling up at an alarming rate with people who need homes, jobs, schools, cars and infrastructure.
An item of news during the last week was the decision to give the go-ahead to build a new 100-mile, high-speed rail link between London and Birmingham between 2016 and 2026, at an initial cost of £17 billion. They call it HS2.
It's quite an exciting and ambitious project, which would directly connect our country's two major cities, in what appears to be the first part of an even larger scheme which, by 2033, would see cities such as Leeds and Manchester connected at a final estimated cost of £32 billion.
Yet there is another expense. One might think that such a scheme would vastly enhance our attractiveness to foreign businesses and entrepreneurs as a forward-looking, even dynamic, country in which to invest.
But what of the people whose lives are now to be blighted by yet another massive and, no doubt, vastly under-budgeted project?
Of course, there are concerns, too, about environmental issues, as the new line will cut into swathes of irretrievable and valuable countryside.
Yet there is one very disturbing factor that seems to have eluded the political decision, begun by Labour and continued by the coalition. Will travellers and commuters in the years 2026 and 2033 be able to afford to use the service?
Lets face it, here in 2012, the cost of travelling anywhere in this country by rail is extortionate when compared with those services on mainland Europe. An annual season ticket that might cost £3,000 in the UK may be as little as £300 for a regular equidistant journey in Italy. Why is it cheaper to fly to a Spanish holiday resort than to take a train from Peterborough to Edinburgh? Above all else, who will run and profit from the finished item? I remember being excited when the channel tunnel was to be opened. I had visions of French-style TGV trains hammering through Kettering and Market Harborough at well over 100mph. Well, that dream didn't last long, although it did prompt the powers that be to spruce up St Pancras.
This week, I came across a group on Facebook calling for the return of the hitherto lambasted British Rail, which left me wondering if we're up to running a 'Y'- shaped future.

It's only speculation, but when you see Uncle Ruckus getting ready to hit who appears to be Barack Obama with a brick, one have to wonder. This picture was sighted on the BoondocksBootleg channel on YouTube. YouTube, by the way, do have a partnership with Boondocks Bootleg, which appears to be the official channel of all things Aaron McGruder.
In a way, it makes sense, since television will never give Aaron McGruder the freedom to express himself. Case in point, it turns out that the BET episodes WERE banned from television. (At one point, I thought it was a marketing ploy.) It's also true that Google have been trying to boost up their revenues by getting Sponsoring videos and going live. Even Jay Smooth of illdoctrine recently announced his partnership with YouTube on NewTeeVee.
Note: This is ONLY speculation. I'm only taking a guess here. They might have "mini-clips" or the whole third season or just previews of the third season. Nothing official was said yet.
The only way to found out now is to wait for Aaron to drop the bomb. Which could be any day now…
… yep, any day now.

Here's an overview of some of the new features in Solr 5.5
Also see Solr Download Links
and upcoming Features of the next Solr release.
Return docValues fields like stored fields
In previous Solr versions, returning the top N documents only retrieved field values from the row-store (i.e. fields where "stored" is true). Values will now also be retrieved from
docValues (which are essentially column stored) for fields where "stored" is false. This avoids the need to duplicate the value in the row store if it's already column stored.
facet debug info
"facet-trace" section has been added to the debug info for JSON Facets.
The exact format is subject to change, but the current information includes information about each facet command, including the processor used to execute the facet and the domain size. This information is included recursively included for each facet bucket for facets with sub-facets.
Example request:
$ curl http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/query -d 'q=*:*&rows=0&debug=true& json.facet={ categories:{ type : terms, field : cat } }
Example response debug info:
[...] "facet-trace":{ "processor":"FacetQueryProcessor", "elapse":0, "query":null, "domainSize":32, "sub-facet":[{ "processor":"FacetFieldProcessorUIF", "elapse":0, "field":"cat", "limit":10, "numBuckets":16, "domainSize":32}]}, [...]
UnInvertedField faceting method restored
facet.method=uif parameter causes traditional field faceting to delegate to the JSON Facet API with
This is roughly equivalent to what the Solr 4 default faceting method was for multi-valued fields. It is optimized for performance over static indexes rather than NRT (quickly changing indexes).
Stored field compression mode
The compression mode for stored fields can now be specified via codecFactory in solrconfig.xml
See the Codec Factory section in the Solr reference guide for more details.
Async Collection APIs
Generic support was added for making collection APIs async. Async support was added for the following commands: delete/reload collection, create/delete alias, create/delete shard, delete replica, add/delete replica property, add/remove role, overseer status, balance shard unique, rebalance leaders, modify collection, migrate state format.
See Asynchronous Calls in the Solr ref guide.
There is a new experimental BlockJoinFacetComponent for calculating facets by a
child.facet.field parameter with a
{!parent} query. The component is not enabled by default.
Note that this component is unrelated to the block join faceting support in the JSON Facet API.
XML Query Syntax
The XML query parser, registered as "xmlparser" is a direct interface to Lucene's XMLQueryParser (CoreParser).
Personal recommendation: avoid the use of this query parser unless you have very unusual/specific needs.
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/query -d 'debugQuery=true& q={!xmlparser} <BooleanQuery> <Clause occurs="must"> <TermQuery fieldName="name">ipod</TermQuery> </Clause> <Clause occurs="must"> <TermQuery fieldName="manu">apple</TermQuery> </Clause> </BooleanQuery> '
This parser does not do any text analysis on terms, so provided terms will need to match what is in the index exactly (i.e. you will need to do things like lowercasing and stemming yourself). Good backward compatibility is unlikely with this parser as it exposes more internal implementation details. Term queries on fields such as numeric fields, enum fields, and boolean fields will only work if you know the internal term representation in the index.
See XmlQParser in the Solr ref guide for more info.
upconfig and downconfig
configset, or configuration set, is a set of config files for a Solr collection.
For SolrCloud mode, an
upconfig option has been added to the
/bin/solr script to upload a configset to zookeeper.
A matching
downconfig option has been added to download a configset from zookeeper.
For examples and documentation, see bin/solr Zookeeper Operations in the Solr reference guide.
CheckIndex for HDFS
There is an internal CheckHdfsIndex class that can be run from the command line for HDFS indexes like CheckIndex can be run for normal indexes.
java -cp "./server/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/*:./server/lib/ext/*" -ea:org.apache.lucene... org.apache.solr.index.hdfs.CheckHdfsIndex /path/to/my/index/
For reference, here is also the command to run CheckIndex on a local (non-HDFS) lucene index:
java -cp "./server/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/*:./server/lib/ext/*" -ea:org.apache.lucene... org.apache.lucene.index.CheckIndex ./example/techproducts/solr/techproducts/data/index
Which will result in the following output:

Florida Panthers (29-33-9 67 points)
New York Islanders (27-33-12 66 Points)
Saturday, March 19, 2011 7:00 PM BankAtlantic Center, Sunrise, FL
TV: FS-Florida, MSG Plus (Long Island)
RADIO: 560 WQAM (Miami) 88.7 WHRU (Hempstead, NY)
* * *
THE BEST MATCH-UP YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE: The Florida Panthers take on the New York Islanders tonight from the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, FL. Both of these teams come in with records not equal to their performance. The Panthers have played in 44 one-goal games. They've been on the losing end of most of those games, and one could only imagine where they'd be if one or two bounces went their way. Meanwhile, the Islanders have been a surprising offensive power, with three players: Matt Moulson (30 goals, he had a hat trick in the last game between the two teams), Michael Grabner (29 goals), and John Tavaras (26 goals and 60 total points), scoring more goals than the Panthers' leading scorer, David Booth (21 goals). Not to mention the surprise Blake Comeau (20 goals) and an under-performing Kyle Okposo (just 4 goals in 28 games), and you can see why this is the most entertaining team you've never heard of.
ROOKIE SENSATION: The Islanders have hit on rookies well over the past few years. Okposo has 18 and 19 goals in his first two full seasons with the Isles. Tavaras has already exlipsed his goal total from his rookie season, which was 24. Grabner was cut by the Panthers to make room for Mike Santorelli, who has had a decent year in Florida, but Grabner has been constantly talked about as a potential rookie of the year in the league. Grabner did score 5 goals in 20 games with the Vancouver Canucks last year, but is still classified as a rookie this season. He fell into a scoring drought, but appears to be coming out of it with three goals in his last five games, including a 2 point night last night in Carolina
SPEAKING OF ROOKIES: A young player who Florida had hoped would be battling to be the league's top rookie returns tonight. Floirda's only All Star representative (OK, so he only played in the skills competition), Evgeny Dadanov, hasn't played since getting hurt February 2nd in Montreal. We'll see how he does in his return.
AND SPEAKING OF RETURNS: Islanders netminder Rick DiPietro is expected to make his return between the pipes. He last played the day of the now infamous goalie fight with Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Brent Johnson. Johnson's punches gave the 29 year old facial fractures. Al Montoya, who the Isles acquired in a trade with the Phoenix Coyotes, did a stellar job filling in for DiPietro, going 7-3-4 with a 2.39 GAA over the month DiPietro was out.
FLA - Tomas Vokoun
NYI - Rick DiPietro

Over the decades, Liza Lou's beaded sculptures and installations have transmogrified from illusionistic bedazzlement (as in Kitchen, 1990–96) to more meditative explorations of the process and social implications of beading. Like many traditionally feminine arts, beadwork is usually anonymous and undervalued; in her recent work Lou has trimmed her once riotous palette back, using monochrome to bring attention to what she calls the "lifeblood" of this work: the imperfections that make each piece unique and the extraordinary, overlooked, human effort that goes into each square inch of a beaded surface. In The Waves, Lou's installation at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Salzburg last summer, off-white glass beads were used to make 1,000 square sheets, each "scaled to the size of an ordinary dish cloth," that covered the walls of three rooms of the gallery. The uniform format and material suggested anonymous labor and also invited comparisons between things that are ostensibly the same yet quite different when juxtaposed, highlighting the individuality of each square. As with all the artist's sculptures of the past decade, The Waves was created in collaboration with hundreds of Zulu women in South Africa whom she is careful to credit in interviews, naming some individually, and her respect for their contribution is apparent; indeed, it has become the subject of her work.

Two Wednesdays ago, Chika, Carolina, and I were appointed salad team. Harvesting, washing and drying, and assembling salad mixes is our task to complete for the CSA boxes. Some mornings the melting frost bites at our fingertips, but nevertheless we have a fun time from start to finish. It's been such a joy putting the finishing touches on the boxes and garnishing with edible flower petals! They add so much color and excitement.
In addition to vibrance and nutrition, we learned that daikon radish pods (as well as their flowers) are edible when they're young, and quite tasty! They add a light radish flavor with a bit of crunch. Just like everything else at Sarvodaya Farms, it's been grown, harvested, and assembled with much love and care.

Aretha Franklin sat down and spoke about her new album with Billboard, while also speaking about hearing her influence in the voices of younger singers like Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, and Alicia Keys. Click after the heartbeat to read more…
Billboard Reports:
Even when she isn't recording, Aretha Franklin, 72, looms large in our culture. The recipient of the United States' highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and an 18-time Grammy Award winner as well as a Grammy Lifetime Achievement and Grammy Living Legend awardee, Franklin is quite simply the greatest living singer. Even the hat she wore to President Barack Obama's first presidential inauguration created a stir. (It's now in the Smithsonian.)
The Queen of Soul's new album, Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics, is her first studio release in three years, and her first for a major label since 2003's So Damn Happy. (It entered the Billboard 200 at No. 13, her highest debut ever.) Hearing her talk about the record, it sounds like she's having the time of her life. "I love these songs," says Franklin. "I listened to them all, by the original artists, for my own enjoyment. So making this record was a pleasure."
The album reunites her with Sony Music Entertainment chief creative officer Clive Davis, with whom she worked for 23 years at Arista Records. In the 1980s, Davis helped revive a career that had stalled after her epochal '60s and '70s run with Jerry Wexler and Atlantic Records that produced such rock'n'roll landmarks as "Respect" and "Chain of Fools," among many others. As with Rod Stewart's Great American Songbook series and Santana's Supernatural, the critical contribution from Davis this time around was the concept — in this case, having Franklin record the signature songs performed by other capital "D" divas through the years.
No one is more qualified to sing the diva songbook than Franklin. Born to a famous minister and performing professionally since her teens, Franklin has survived an abusive first marriage (single now, she has been married twice and has four sons), a crippling fear of flying, dramatic weight fluctuations and, in 2010, a mysterious bout with and subsequent recovery from an undisclosed illness that sparked deathbed rumors. A well-received multi-city 2014 tour, starring a slimmed-down Franklin, dispelled any lingering doubts about her health.
Then, in September, a clip of her performing "Rolling in the Deep" on Late Show With David Letterman instantly picked up a million-plus views on the Internet. Diva Classics itself is a wild ride, unpredictable in both selections and arrangements, from songs associated with Dinah Washington ("Teach Me Tonight") to Gladys Knight ("Midnight Train to Georgia") to Alicia Keys ("No One"). A raise-the-roof version of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" leads into a segment of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," while Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" breaks into "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. Babyface produced most of the album, though The Underdogs, Eric Kupper, Harvey Mason Jr. and Chicago DJ/producer Terry Hunter were also onboard. Most notably, André "3000" Benjamin produced a sped-up, jazzy rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U," which closes the album.
On the phone from her tour bus, headed to a show in Miami, Franklin says that she hasn't decided yet whether there would be a volume two. "It's like my teacher always used to say — we shall see what we shall see."
What was it like making this album?
I had a really good time. I love this music. I bought most of these records in the original version — I had the occasion to tell Berry Gordy that he owed me a ton of money for all the Motown records I bought!
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Midnight Train," "Survivor" — that's one of me and my granddaughter's favorite songs. Victory, that's her name. I'm coaching her; she wants to be a singer, and she's coming along very well. She sang for me on the BET Honors. She's more of a student right now, and she's definitely finishing her education. But she has the voice, and she's a very fast learner.
How were the songs selected? Were some Clive's idea, some yours?
It was Mr. Davis' idea. He brought the concept, gave me a list of songs and artists — of course, I knew all of them. Chaka [Khan] and I are friends. Gladys [Knight] and I came up on the same route, singing at the Royal Peacock in Georgia, along with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke and Jesse Belvin and artists of that stature. So Gladys and I passed each other several times as younger artists.
Alicia [Keys], of course, is a label mate, and it was her idea to put that reggae flavor on "No One." I thought that was just great, right on the money. With the Sinéad O'Connor song ["Nothing Compares 2 U," originally by Prince], André wanted to do a complete turnaround, so he went to that faster tempo and jazzy feel. At first, I wasn't quite for it, but I thought about it and thought, "Well, it could work out great." So I went back to my jazz roots, to when I sang in [Greenwich] Village, at the Gate and the Vanguard and all those clubs, with John Coltrane and Charles Mingus and all of the jazz greats.
Was that meaningful for you, to show some more of that side of your singing?
Intermittently in my concert format, I sing a little jazz, a little scatting. But the recordings are more secular or gospel, or just straight-up R&B. So having that gave it another flavor and a whole other feel. And hopefully it will be enjoyed by that audience, the jazz audience, as well.
So did you like the concept when Clive brought it up? Or did he need to convince you at all?
Oh, I approved it immediately. It's very easy to work with Clive. We usually agree on pretty much everything; I can't think of a time we really disagreed — on the players, the songs. It was all very compatible. He's an Aries like me, for whatever that's worth, and 'Face is an Aries, too, so there's a lot of fire going on here. But it works. We're all pretty much in agreement.
What did Babyface bring to this album?
Well, Babyface brings his savoir faire to every project. He's a very easy producer to work with, very detailed in listening to everything. But we had a lot of fun, too, a lot of laughter. On "Midnight Train to Georgia," I was doing some of the Pips moves at the microphone. We all had a lot of fun in the control room, listening to takes and talking about the tracks.
You must have thought about recording some of the older songs on here through the years.
Yes, I had thought about "Teach Me Tonight," and some others like that I still hope to do. "At Last" was a big record back in the day. I had the occasion to meet Etta James a few times back in L.A. That song reminded me of my roller-skating days — they used to play that all the time at the Arcadia roller rink in Detroit and we would back-skate to it couples only, ladies only. It reminded me of a very wonderful time coming up.
Did any of these songs really surprise you or go in some direction you really didn't anticipate?
No, none of them really surprised me, but the track on "Midnight Train" was done without getting a key from me. I would have liked that arrangement a half-step higher, but it worked out, mostly because of my range.
One song that stands out is Barbra Streisand's "People." That seems a bit different from the rest of the choices.
Barbra and I came up on Columbia together, when Goddard Lieberson was the chairman. Then after I left [in 1966], Clive came to the label. Not long ago, I did the memorial service for Marvin Hamlisch. And Barbra was there, and I could hear her coming from a mile away — "Where's Aretha? I want to see her!" So we talked and chatted, took some pictures. Really, Barbra and I, and Chaka and Gladys, we all came up together. I've always enjoyed all of them, as I enjoyed all of these original artists.
Have you started to work on how you're going to present these songs onstage?
I'm really looking forward to singing them in concert, because after a certain amount of time, the vocals are going to change, and it's always a change for the better. It always changes naturally, and only improves.
"I Will Survive," "No One," "At Last" — I have writers working on arrangements for those now. The stage arrangement is usually the same as the record, but you add something to give people something a little extra special, you get to be a little more creative with the arrangements.
Have you had a chance to spend time with some of the younger artists represented on the record — with Adele or Alicia Keys?
I haven't had the occasion to meet Adele. She lives in England. So when I'm flying, or when she comes over here, perhaps we'll have a chance. I think she's a very fine singer, a very strong writer and performer.
I call Alicia the girl of a thousand faces. Her appearance is always changing, so you never get used to what she looks like. She's very stylized, but she has recorded some really great things. I especially like that old-school song she has, "You Don't Know My Name," and of course that New York song ["Empire State of Mind"]! I'm really glad she wrote that, because from time to time we need a new song for New York, for Detroit, for Chicago. And there really hadn't been one since Liza Minnelli did "New York, New York," so that was very timely.
When you listen to those young artists, do you feel like the future of singing is in good hands? And do you hear your own influence in their work?
I think they're doing a very good job — Beyoncé, Alicia, Jennifer [Hudson]. I hear my influence sometimes; I know when my voice, when something I'm known for, has passed. But these young ladies, for the most part, are all very original.

Really poor display by Caen last round away at Lille (lost 4-2). They managed to score twice, but only because opponents didn't take them seriously. Lille dominated the entire game, and everyone knew from the start where the 3 points will go.
Coach Garande considered this game a lost fight, and decided to rest forwards Santini and Rodelin, and midfielder Delaplace. All three should be in the lineup this round.
Caen is one of the worst Ligue1 sides when it comes to away games. They won only 1 point in 8 away games, and it's simply unexplainable how the home factor can have so much influence over a football team. They are warriors in home games, constantly harassing opponents, but away from home they look like a bunch of kids in the playground.
Dijon won an important point last week against Monaco, but the final result could have been even more favorable (finished 1-1). Coach Dall'Oglio wasn't very optimistic about this encounter, and decided to leave important forwards Tavares and Diony on the bench.
Only when he realized that Monaco are tired, uninspired and bored, he introduced Diony and Tavares. It was enough to salvage a point, but too late for a historic win.
Coach Dall'Oglio often changes system, and this situation seem to confuse players and prevent them to achieve full potential. For example Dijon build mostly down the flanks with wingers Amalfitano and Sammaritano, but sometimes coach Dall'Oglio switches to 3 central midfielders and no winger, considerably reducing the attacking strength.
Guests may once again miss defenders Chafik and Varrault (doubtful).
Hosts have an upper hand here, but the advantage is not that big as odds suggest. Although they are yet to win away from home, Dijon can be very dangerous on counters, and this game can easily go either way.
UPDATE: Hosts welcome back important defender yahia, while guests can once again count on defenders Chafik and Varrault.
Caen : Dreyer, Reulet – Guilbert, Adéoti, Genevois, Da Silva, A.Yahia, Bessat – Malbranque, Makengo, Féret, Delaplace, Seube – Rodelin, Santini, Sane, Bazile, Karamoh
Dijon : Leroy, Reynet – Abdelhamid, Chafik, Varrault, Bernard, Bouka Moutou, Lang, Loties, Rüfli – Lees-Melou, Bahamboula, Abeid, Gastien, Marié, Sammaritano – Diony, Tavares

The weekend is finally here, so make sure you use it wisely. After a busy week, relax and enjoy your spare time as you recharge your batteries because another busy week is lurking just around the corner.
We here at AskGamblers were brainstorming what to do this weekend and we came up with a fantastic idea. We thought that it might be just perfect to spend this first chilly autumn weekend watching some of the greatest casino films.
And of course, all of you AskGamblers are invited to join us. We already have a few legendary films in mind, so take a look and find out which.
AskGamblers 'To Watch List'
Let's start with an old classic - The Sting by George Roy Hill. This film will take you back in time to Chicago in 1930s and tell a story of a young con man seeking revenge for his murdered partner. To do so he teams up with a master of the big con to win a fortune from a criminal banker.
The next one is definitely Casino - a Martin Scorsese's 1995 film which follows the life of Sam "Ace" Rothstein as he runs the mob-owned Tangiers casino. Apart from his involvement in the casino world the film also deals with his relationship with his friend Nicky Santoro and the love of his life Ginger. Greed, deception, love, power, money, murder – this film has it all.
Of course we cannot skip a James Bond film, not for anything. So naturally our list wouldn't be complete without Casino Royale. This film is about secret agent James Bond and his first mission as 007 to defeat a weapons dealer in a high stakes game of poker at Casino Royale. However, things are not as they seem. 007 will not only discover the threatening organization behind his enemy, but the worst truth of all: no one can be trusted.
And last but not the least on our 'to watch list' is Ocean's Thirteen, the first part of the trilogy by Steven Soderbergh which follows the life of Daniel Ocean. In the 1st part, Danny and his eleven accomplices plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos Bellagio, The Mirage, and the MGM Grand simultaneously during a popular boxing event.
If this little Casino themed film marathon wasn't enough there are plenty more films on offer. Make sure you check at least one of them. Grab a bowl of popcorn and have a relaxing film night this weekend or not. Either way, have a lovely weekend!

Tina Games discusses the importance of a "happy mother" and how it affects the "legacy ripple" – with Tamara Gold, creator of The Red Lipstick Report
Imagine for a moment a pebble thrown into a pond. It creates a ripple that goes on and on and on. I believe that mothers are a significant part of the ripple effect – that will transform the world into a more loving, more nurturing place.
When a mother is living life with complete authenticity, she's subconsciously giving permission for her kids to do the same. She's truly at her best – creating powerful change for herself, her family, her community – and for the world at large. It's all part of "the ripple."
It's my belief that "a happy mother makes the best mother" – and our kids really do want to see their moms happy!
But what if something goes awry – and "the ripple" stems from a place of frustration, confusion, disconnect or unhappiness?
My transformational work with mothers came out of my own experience of connecting with the moon during a really dark period in my life. Shortly after the birth of my first child, and after making some fairly significant life changes at the same time, I fell into depression – a place that felt so foreign to me, a place where I felt like I had fallen into a black hole with no way out. It was during this time, a period that spanned over two years, that I had disconnected from everything that made me happy. Because my son suffered from chronic illnesses related to serious colds and severe ear infections, I made a very difficult choice to give up a successful career in order to care for my son full-time. I hadn't realized until this experience how much of my identity was tied into my career. Without it, I felt very lost and very unhappy.
It was during this time that I fell back on a great passion of mine – journal writing. And as a mom of a baby who did not have a normal sleep schedule, I found myself exhausted and emotional much of the time. So night after night, after I'd get my son settled and after my husband went to bed, I'd grab my journal and retreat to my favorite chair – beside a big bay window where I caught a glimpse of the moon. It was the moon that taught me the meaning of transition. I'd watch this beautiful lunar goddess, night after night, move in and out of her various phases. And before long, I began to connect her phases with my own emotional tides.
I noticed that the moon always began in darkness and gradually, she'd move into full light – and cycle back around again. And I noticed the contrast between dark and light – the darkness of the night sky against the beautiful full moon light. I started connecting to this – as if I was being divinely guided through my own transitions of dark and light. I began to notice the ebbs and flows of my emotions. There were good days and bad days.
So when I came to the point of writing my book, Journaling by the Moonlight: A Mother's Path to Self-Discovery, I wanted mothers to realize that every human transition begins in darkness and gradually moves into light, where we get a glimpse of what is possible. And then we retreat, to ponder the many ways we can manifest these possibilities into reality. This requires deep work, where we step into our own truth and into our own power – and where we can emerge in the most authentic way possible. This is what I call the Blue Moon phase – when we finally realize that we are here on this Earth to be WHO we are, to put our personal thumbprint on the world in the most truthful, most authentic, most unique way possible. Each one of us are individuals being divinely guided on our own purposeful path.
Because moms are natural role models, our kids are observing all the time. There's a lot of truth in the saying, "Monkey see, monkey do." In other words, when a mom is modeling the value of following her heart, her kids get it – much more than they would if she was just saying it. Kids feel energy. They know when a person is happy and when they're not. So why not be happy – and let the ripple flow?
Wouldn't the world be a much better place if we were all following our hearts? If we could truly live life with passion and purpose, everything would have a richer and deeper meaning. It would create a ripple of positive and loving energy that could literally heal the world.
Each and every one of us has the power to create great change in the world. And this change has the most impact when we begin with ourselves – looking in the mirror and honoring the person who is staring back.
WHO is this person? Do you really know her at her core? If you were to remove every label that she wears – mother, wife, partner, community leader, business owner, loyal friend, etc. – who is she?
Imagine for a moment – each of these labels being a blanket. Slowly remove each blanket, acknowledging the label it represents, and set it aside. Continue doing this until you have no more labels except – SELF.
Who is SELF? Take a moment to describe SELF from the inside out. How do you feel when you're not bombarded by what the world thinks you should be? What are your passions? What are your dreams? What makes you come alive? How does this person – from the inside out – want to show up in the world?
These are great questions to ponder in your journal, allowing yourself to answer them – truthfully and completely.
When we start chipping away at the exterior labels, what do we look like on the inside? What is our "diamond in the rough?"
Once we discover this, we've connected with our authentic self. And it's from this place where purposeful, powerful and magical ripples are created.
What kind of ripple are you sending out?

Senate Democrats Reaps Fruit of Filibuster Move With Millett Vote
In a highly controversial move just before the Thanksgiving holiday, a unified bloc of Democratic senators voted to end the use of the filibuster for judicial nominations and other executive-branch appointees.
Of course, the Democrats will have to live with this move next time they find themselves out of the majority. But for now, they are reaping the fruit they've sown.
Tuesday morning, the Senate confirmed the nomination of Patricia Millett to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, arguably the second-most influential court in the nation.

TI's InfoADAS SDK enables developers to xtend investments in infotainment with the addition of innovative InfoADAS use-cases to enhance the driver's awareness of the conditions inside and outside the vehicle, without compromising the performance of either IVI or InfoADAS systems. In addition it helps developers to reshape traditional infotainment architectures by integrating additional functions on TI's DRA7xx "Jacinto 6" infotainment processors.
With the increasing deployment of cameras and sensors in vehicles to make the driving experience safer, there is a need to collect, analyze and display further information to the driver without significantly increasing overall R&D investments or bill-of-materials (BOM). The InfoADAS SDK provides scalability across high-level operating systems (HLOS) and "Jacinto 6" devices for reuse of existing designs and resources. It can also be used as a pluggable InfoADAS subsystem to existing head unit applications. To act as a reference for customer's productized algorithm development, the InfoADAS SDK includes sample vision algorithms to demonstrate the framework capabilities, and also includes hooks to extend the framework for higher-level application features such as park guide overlays. In addition to the existing HLOS SDK supported on the "Jacinto 6" platform and Vision SDK dedicated to control safety functions supported on the TI TDAx processors, the delivery of the InfoADAS SDK unifies the software architecture across TI's automotive processors, "Jacinto" and TDAx, for easy integration and scalability.
The DRA7xx family of processors provides a hardware- and software-compatible platform capable to augment existing infotainment products with informational ADAS features. To enable InfoADAS, there is no hardware change required besides upgrading the system to route cameras to the processor. This allows customers to leverage cameras both inside and outside the vehicle together with existing infotainment platforms. Up to four dedicated accelerators, including TI's C66x Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and Embedded Vision Engine (EVE), and other "Jacinto 6" family capabilities allow for concurrencies of head-unit features and emerging analytics and

Imagine opening an email like this:
"My book [BOOK TITLE HERE] is coming out on THIS DATE and I was wondering if you want to join my week long blog tour."
We receive emails like this almost daily. Know what my (Muse KJ) usual response is?
Who the hell are you?
Know what my usual course of action is?
Does the email mention Jo or I by name, or even call us The Muses?
No. -> Quick reread of email. If it seems generic, is rude, or is otherwise uninteresting, I delete.
Yes -> Quick search of email + Twitter + Goodreads to see if I know the person and am forgetting something. If email is polite, I respond, and/or forward to our book Muses. If it throws me directly into a Google Docs form, I do not.
This isn't being mean. This is the same thing as turning down someone at a bar who walks up to you and asks if you want to go home with you. Because if I don't know, I expect you to respect my boundaries. I expect you to be polite.
So, how should you contact a writer or book blog?
"Salutations!" said the voice.
Wilbur jumped to his feet. "Salu-what?" he cried.
"Salutations!" repeated the voice.
"What are they, and where are you?" screamed Wilbur. "Please, please, tell me where you are. And what are salutations?"
"Salutations are greetings," said the voice. "When I say 'salutations,' it's just my fancy way of saying hello or good morning."
― E.B. White, Charlotte's Web
Do you usually approach people and launch into what you want from them? I can't say that approach would go well.
Say hello. Look up the names of who you're speaking to, and personalize your message. Show that you really care about connecting, and that isn't 100% a generic copy and past message. Put some effort into it.
Introduce yourself.
As a girl from the South, this is common sense to me. I mean, I come from a place where most of the time if you meet someone at the bar, THEY SHAKE YOUR HAND. That's right – the men will shake your hand. So, don't just launch into your spiel. Say who you are. Say how we might know you – if you've been an avid reader of the blog, say that – just make sure it doesn't sound like BS.
Make your request.
Here's the thing – bloggers are helping you, not the other way around. Do not invite them to join your tour. Do not wonder if they'd like to join your tour. Ask them.
This goes for whatever you want – to do a guest post, to offer your book for review, etc. ASK.
Is there a reason why you think they may enjoy doing this? Maybe your book has a similar theme to one they raved over? Is their favorite author one who promoed your book? Give them the scoop – why should they want to work with you?
Avoid being presumptuous.
Yes, it's easier to just include your book if you're asking for a review – but it's rude. In chez KJ, rudeness gets you nowhere. Don't auto include files, or just toss in a Google docs form.
Linking to a form is okay. Asking what format of book they prefer so you can email is okay.
Just be polite.
A thank you goes a long way.
Bloggers have busy schedules. Appreciate that. Thank them for their time, their consideration, and for whatever help they offer you. Why? This builds relationships. Friends are more likely to help you than strangers.
One of the authors I would most go out of my way to help was an author who I met because of a book tour. I reviewed her book. She thanked me – profusely. She offered to send me the sequel to review early. She eventually sent me a swag care package that had a bonus of a signed hardback. You bet I'll go out of my way to review her books, share her info, and do whatever I can in general.
The secret to approaching blogs? Be polite, be friendly, and be real. It goes a long way.

Dear Kristen,
Thanks for good practical advice. Comes down to manners and respect for someone's time and willingness to assist. I'm glad I found you through twitter MondayBlogs. My first book is coming out in the fall. I appreciate this post and will explore your site.
Hi Kristen,
What a great post, thanks for sharing! I found your site through Twitter and have been combing over it ever since. Looking foward to reading more great articles.


text: There were some strange 'rushing air' noises coming from under the hood yesterday after a boosted driving segment. Fortunately I was within a mile of being home. The upper hose looks good (only about 3k miles of use), but I'm pretty sure the lower intercooler hose has developed a leak, will know more tonight after I get it removed. Is this an Audi dealer-only part? Or would I be better off going with an aftermarket hose, and if so, any good source recommendations? I'm running an IA 3+ ECU so max positive boost can reach 21-22psi. -Gene

This year Microsoft turned over a new leaf with new CEO Satya Nadella. This week, he began what appears to be a bold new chapter in the history of Microsoft with a manifesto of sorts, one that includes the line "tired traditions will be questioned." He also goes on to note that "nothing is off the table in how we think about shifting our culture to deliver on this core strategy."
In this long-form letter to users and employees alike, Nadella makes clear the expanding nature of the company. Several key lines describe how hardware will be handled.
• "We will relentlessly focus on and build great digital work and life experiences with specific focus on dual use. Our cloud OS infrastructure, device OS and first-party hardware will all build around this core focus and enable broad ecosystems."
• "Microsoft will continue to vigorously innovate and delight gamers with Xbox."
• "We will build first-party hardware to stimulate more demand for the entire Windows ecosystem. That means at times we'll develop new categories like we did with Surface. It also means we will responsibly make the market for Windows Phone, which is our goal with the Nokia devices and services acquisition."
New products running Windows and Windows Phone software will be made in the future. Microsoft is absolutely aimed at expanding, and under Satya Nadella – evolving into a company with "Windows device OS and first-party hardware" that will "set the bar for productivity experiences."
Xbox is here to entertain, while other Microsoft-made hardware is here to fit the dual-use paradigm. Work when it's time to work, entertain when it's time to play.
