I've been to query hell this week, so I really appreciate this info. I had been using a similar method and now I see the error of my ways. I've been using scotch!! I will switch to the potent potable you suggest. I'll bet that does the trick.

Or hie thee off to the evil spawn of the crapometer where Elektra is currently offering a new service 'You write the query!' Send in your synopsis and everyone else has a go at writing your hook! Kind of fun. Scroll down about three entries for the inaugural attempts.

The only reason that I don't think you've bugged my house is because you said gin instead of whiskey.
And I think my first sentence was "I've written a romance that totally kicks Nora Robert's ass."
Other than that.....freaky.

Finally! The secret to writing a successful query letter! I can die happy now. Right after I finish off this bottle...
(Anything that can make me laugh 'til it hurts at six in the morning is da bomb. Funny thing is, I actually did that printer bit a few days ago - I'd unplugged the USB cable to use my thumb drive and forgotten to hook it back up, so I sent the damned document four times before I figured it out. HA!)

Hey . . . that's not an appropriate genre? Well . . . #$$%^. Back to the keyboard(s).

- C.J. Redwine said...
Oh I think it's the perfect genre! Covers all your bases, lets the agent know you've done your homework, you're up on EVERYTHING, and she can just narrow the field once she sells your glorious masterpiece!
Now, where did I put that bottle of gin?....

Realize you've forgotten to enclose a SASE. Get a new bottle of gin, put return postage and address on it, wrap with a another copy of your query and a note to return a request for a partial inside emptied bottle.

37. Curse the gin.
38. Apologize to the gin.
I mean, really. What did the gin ever do to you to deserve such treatment? *tsk*

On Wednesday, Apple released an updated version of iTunes to add support for 1080p video and address several issues with iTunes Match.
iTunes 10.6 adds the ability to play 1080p HD movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store, a new offering from Apple that goes along with the new Apple TV unveiled on Wednesday. iTunes could play 1080p content in the past, however, such as movies shot using an iPhone 4S.
More exciting to many iTunes Match subscribers are improvements to the music matching and storage service. Apple says iTunes 10.6 provides for improved song matching; improved album artwork handling, downloading, and display; and fixes an issue where songs may skip when playing from iCloud.
The update is currently available via Software Update, or via Apple's iTunes download page.

Learn how to keep your house warmer and how to reduce the cost of heating with home insulation.
In the search for ways to reduce the cost of home heating, it's gradually being recognized that it's a heck of a lot easier and less expensive to hang onto the warmth you've got than it is to produce more . . . whether that heat is garnered from another unit of our ever-depleting supplies of fossil fuels or from benign solar energy. And the recent success of superinsulated housing is, perhaps, the strongest testimonial to the fact that thermal conservation measures are becoming accepted practices in the construction of even conventional-looking homes when you choose to reduce the cost of heating with home insulation.
And, of course, the growth of interest in insulation has led to a strong marketplace, with dozens of different products being offered . . . both for new construction and for retrofit. In this article—and in the accompanying side pieces—we'd like to try to unravel some of the mystery surrounding different types of insulation. As you'll learn, each material has its place, and proper selection will help you to put up the most effective thermal barriers—with the greatest ease—for the least amount of money.
Insulants generally fall into one of three categories: batts and blankets, which fit into a home's wood framing . . . loose fill, which is blown or poured between joists in a ceiling or into closed wall spaces . . . and rigid board, which can serve as a sheathing material. (Bans are distinct from blankets in that they have no facing, while the latter have either a paper material for stapling to studs or a foil layer that both secures the layers and reflects radiant heat.)
The importance of the thermal resistivity (R-value) of a particular insulant is most evident in situations where there's a limited amount of space to fill with the material. Within a stud wall space, for example, 3-1/2 inch fiberglass will produce a finished R-value of about 13. By filling the space with polyurethane foam, however, that same 3-1/2 inch space could produce a rating of about R-26. (The cost of all that polyurethane would be quite high, though.) In locations where space isn't at a premium, however—in attics, for instance—it will generally be more practical to simply stack up less costly materials to a greater depth.
Of course, the amount of insulation that can be placed in a given location will sometimes be limited by the weight the material will add to the building. Loose-fill insulants—such as vermiculite and perlite—can be quite heavy. And, in an attic space where the insulation is resting atop the ceiling, loads over three pounds per square foot may cause the ceiling to sag. So when you're studying the figures we've supplied in the accompanying chart, bear in mind that the weights per square foot listed all apply to a 12 inch material thickness.
Some insulants let water vapor pass through easily, while others are relatively effective vapor barriers. However, the latter quality may prove to be either an advantage or a disadvantage. For example, if you have walls insulated with fiberglass that doesn't, itself, have a vapor barrier and are considering adding an inch of polystyrene while replacing the siding on your house, watch out! That impermeable rigid board will prevent the walls from breathing, and your fiberglass will likely become waterlogged with trapped condensation. You'd be better off putting the polystyrene on the inside (though it would have to be covered for fire protection). In either instance, the added R-value of the board would be particularly effective, since it would insulate the studs, which provide direct conductive paths from the inside to the outer walls.
Compared with air, water does an excellent job of conducting heat, and when the air spaces in an insulation material become filled with water, the substance's R-value deteriorates significantly. For this reason, insulation that absorbs water should never be used below ground. Furthermore, it's important to protect insulants from water vapor that may penetrate a building's shell and then condense upon reaching the colder areas. And even if the material doesn't absorb that water, the liquid may form conductive paths and/or cause the insulant (particularly if it's a low-density material) to become compressed and lose its effect.
Many common forms of insulation can support combustion and therefore should be separated from a home's interior by a barrier. In particular, some materials release a large amount of carbon monoxide when they're exposed to flames . . . and that gas can prove a serious life threat long before a fire actually engulfs a home.
Because the price of insulation varies by region, distributor, dealer, and season, we've not listed any actual dollar figures in the accompanying chart. Rather, we've rated the different materials according to their average cost per R-number . . . on a scale of 1 to 5 (least to most expensive). Before you buy insulation, price a number of different alternatives at several building supply stores. (If you're going to be purchasing a good deal of material, be sure to inquire about a quantity discount.)
But, above all, we'd like to encourage you to add at least some insulation to your home, especially if it doesn't yet meet the standards suggested in the FmHA/MIMA Insulation Recommendations map that accompanies this article (see the preceding page). We've given only ten (or so) good alternatives to help you get started in your selection process, but the list of dollar-saving measures goes on and on.
EDITOR'S NOTE: If you'd like to find out mare about insulation—including installation techniques—you might look into one or both of the following books: The Complete Book of Insulating edited by Larry Gay (Stephen Greene Press, $7.95) . . . and The Home Insulation Bible by S. Blackwell Duncan (Tab Books, $9.95).
If you've been thinking about insulating but haven't been able to decide just where to start, check through the following suggestions (ranked by cost efficiency) to see which ones might be applicable to your home. Every item on our list offers a payback of less than ten years in a mild (2,000 degree-day) climate, and the return would be accelerated in areas with more bitter winters. Our calculations are based solely, on the cost of the materials, however, so you should also weigh the amount of effort that might be involved in n particular approach against that of a close competitor.
[1] 2 inch fiberglass insulation to forced-air heating ducts that run through an unheated space.
[2] Lay 3-1/2 inch fiberglass (R-11) against the inside walls of an unheated crawl space (6 inch bans would be even better).
[3] Roll out 3-1/2 inch fiberglass between the joists in your uninsulated attic.
[4] Stretch 3-1/2 inch fiberglass between the joists of an uninsulated floor over an unheated, ventilated space.
[5] Wrap your water heater in an R-4 fiberglass blanket.
[6] Blow 3-1/2 inch of cellulose (R-14) into uninsulated wall cavities.
[7] Stretch 3-1/2 inch fiberglass between the joists of an uninsulated floor over an unheated, closed crawl space.
[8] Install R-6 insulating shutters over single-glazed windows.
[9] Add 3-1/2 inch fiberglass to the interior walls of a heated basement.
[10] Lay 3-1/2 inch fiberglass over existing 3-1/2 inch fiberglass attic insulation.
[11] Install storm windows over single glazing.

Author Notes:
The following recipe is simple, all you will need is a 2-quart pitcher, a strainer and a blender. Serve immediately, as the pureed fruit will settle at the bottom.
The agua fresca is a little light for adding alcohol, but may benefit from a splash of Prosecco or sparkling wine. The key is to not overdo it, because the agua fresca is such a subtle taste, you run the risk of overpowering it. - Furey and the Feast
The following recipe is simple, all you will need is a 2-quart pitcher, a strainer and a blender. Serve immediately, as the pureed fruit will settle at the bottom.
Food52 Review: In their native Mexico (as well as on the streets of Spanish Harlem and East L.A.), aguas frescas are flavored with hibiscus, melon or sweet and cinnamon-y rice milk. In Furey and the Feast's interpretation, a twist of lime compliments the sweetness of the berries and a dash of rosemary imparts a floral-like essence. Like all aguas frescas, the drink is strained of pulp, and then thinned with water and ice, making it considerably more thirst-quenching than juice. Furey and the Feast's agua fresca is a dazzling summer cooler perfect for a picnic or backyard barbeque. I reduced the rosemary to 1 tablespoon since the fresh sprigs I used were highly aromatic and extremely piney -- you may need the full 2 tablespoons if your rosemary is less assertive. I would also suggest adding ½ cup sugar at first and adjusting according to taste. ¡brindis! (cheers!) - gabrielaskitchen
—The Editors
Serves: 4

There were a lot of horns honking and hands waving Monday morning as motorists on Yakima Valley Highway showed their support to the approximately 40 people who took part in a march commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The march started at SunnyView Park at roughly 10:30 a.m. and ended at Sunnyside High School, where other activities and presentations were waiting. The Martin Luther King Jr. Day events were organized by the local AmeriCorps organization, with the march being held specifically by members of the AmeriCorps Empowerment Team.
Carissa McNerney, a Sunnyside AmeriCorps volunteer, said the reason the organization decided to get involved with putting together activities for Martin Luther King Jr. Day is because of the similarities between King's message and the ideals AmeriCorps promotes.
"It's a lot of what AmeriCorps stands for," McNerney said.
Heather Lundquist, Opportunity Industrialization Center (OIC) of Washington AmeriCorps supervisor, said the event was something the group wanted to do for the citizens of the Lower Valley.
She explained there are similar types of celebrations that take place in observance of the civil rights leader's birthday in both Yakima and the Tri-Cities, however there is nothing locally for residents to take part in.
"We wanted to bring it down to the Lower Valley for them to participate in," Lundquist said.
This is the second year the Martin Luther King Jr. Day rally has taken place in Sunnyside, although it is the first year there has also been an organized march as part of the celebration.
McNerney estimated that more than 100 people took part in the activities at Sunnyside High School, which included presentations in the auditorium, as well as an art exhibition in the commons area.
Some of the presentations included a speech by Sunnyside Councilwoman Bengie Aguilar, a performance by the Sunnyside High School mariachi band and a skit by AmeriCorps members. Carlos Maya also took part in the presentations, performing several civil rights movement songs. A movie was also shown on the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
In the commons area various AmeriCorps members were working with local children on different craft projects. Each of the projects served as a way to make children stop and think about the meaning of freedom. The activities included a project where kids' traced their bodies, then colored it in with different colors. Another project had kids trace their hands, then write what freedom means to them in their traced fingers.
The activities took place at the high school until 2 p.m.

Where Is the best School?
The season is coming near and I was wondering which school, in your opinion, provides the best instruction. Also if you dont have a preferance just your experience with a particular school.
first of all, i'm not sure if the season is coming near . . . yet. we've still got a solid 3 months of winter at least. as for schools? i would honestly recommend learning from a school that teaches at the place you plan on riding most. beyond that, i think this thread has been covered in the past, so if you search around in the archives, you'll find a lot of opinions on schools in the area.

I LOVE THAT! New and full of life..
Not some jaded old sower-puss , smells more true-blue stoke to me
Mondo, I say- Rock the world!
Give snow kiting a shot this winter and set yourself up for spring @ Alameda on the water...
Get the jet-ski lesson stuff over then come on down to the shack for the real lesson.. (the lesson of life and how kites really work- all through trial and error).
Last spring and summer were really productive.. Lots of smiling new faces to play with...
Hope to see you around,
Edge Kiteboarding or Kitopia at Sherman Island.
Nice water (warmer than the bay)
Boat / ski support
Great steady wind
You will need to wait till May unless you go to La Vantana.
Look them up on line...
Both are great teachers and great folk, get you up in no time.
Remember to wait to buy your equipment till you can ride, as you will have a better idea of what you need.
Oh yah, get a trainer kite and learn to use it till then. Really important to know how to fly a kite well.
Just my $ .02 worth
Rich "ATOM" Baum
Sherman is indeed warmer, but the season gets underway later than on the Bay. We often start to get great wind on the Bay, sometimes huge wind, in March which is just a few months away now. NW clearing patterns at that time can often make for 6m, 7m, and 8m weather at Alameda and the coast. It can be a bit strong for lessons, but there are many lighter days also, so you can potentially get lessons 2-3 months before you can at Sherman.
If you want a good practice without shedding a lot of dough, mountain boarding with a kite is a good practice. Much more accessible and cheaper than snowkiting. You can do it before / after work. Most skills transfer directly, especially kite control and handling power. Notice that it is probably the most risky of kite sports, so be prepared for a beat up and wear some hard plastic.

It's a picture of a tree. Yes. Okay. But this tree has a phone number. If you call this tree it will tell you stories of the neighborhood. It will talk about the Bronx Grand Concourse, about itself, even about the local ecology. It will tell stories about the neighborhood. It might even sound proud, after all it has been around a while. Starting June 21st and continuing through the summer, the trees along the Grand Concourse will play host to a virtual Tree Museum. Visitors can call a phone number and get the details on any particular tree by punching in its extension. The audio guides are recollections and fond stories from folks who have grown up with the trees. Each tree has its own story.
Artist Katie Holten, commissioned for a project to celebrate the centennial of the Concourse, describes her process for creating the Tree Museum:
In November 2007, I was walking the Concourse almost every day, trying to get a feel for the street and understand how to engage with the place. At 174th Street, where the Concourse crosses over the Cross Bronx Expressway, I suddenly pictured the place as it might have been 100 years ago. So different: no buildings, no sidewalks, no asphalt, and no cars. But there were trees originally—it was built as a tree-lined boulevard for promenading. I saw the trees as a starting point for examining the entire ecosystem.
Holten is now an expert on the Concourse arboreal ecology: the tree museum includes a map of the locations and names of some 100 trees, which together cover some 60 species. These include American Elm, Kwanzan Cherry, Crab Apple, Gingko and White Pine. Events in the tree museum over the summer include haiku walks, drawing workshops, satellite exhibitions and a green roof tour. The museum's website also includes it's own social network, where users can create profiles and share their own photos and stories about the trees.
The museum will open with a parade led by group BombaYo from The Bronx Museum of the Arts through Joyce Kilmer Park to the Andrew Freedman Home for a garden party. The project was organized by The Bronx Museum of the Arts and Wave Hill with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation.

To say that every family should have a monthly budget is an understatement. The only way to control your family's finances is with a budget that keeps track of where the money comes from and where it is absolutely spent. A budget, or cash flow plan for those who do not like the B word, is a critical part of any family's secure financial future.
For most families a budget is far down the list of things that are important in the day to day happenings for most families. For most people doing a budget is another task for which they have little time to deal with. Unfortunately this is the reason so many families are having the financial problems that they are dealing with today. A budget can also be a divisive thing if it is used as a way to control the spending habits and place blamed for the financial failures being experienced. For a family budget to work properly it must be used as a tool by all family members that involves financial goals and compromise to reach them.
A budget is actually not that hard to create and keep simply because it is just a list of monthly income and expenses that is either either on a sheet of paper or on a computer equipped with budgeting software. The idea behind any budgeting process is to create a balance between income and expenses so that at the end of the month there is money left over to save, invest, and build wealth.
There is no concrete method for building a family budget because each family's financial needs are different. Some families may be saving for a new car or family vacation, while others are more intent on building savings and college funds. Most families start their budgeting process simply by writing everything down on a piece of paper but as their financial needs grow more complex they may find they need the services of a financial or investment planner.
Another thing to think about and discuss is what are your family's long term financial goals and how do these fit into and affect the monthly budget. It is important to consider not only the goals of individual family members but also the collective goals of the entire family as well. These can include such things as putting away money for a new home, saving for children's college fund, building that retirement nest egg, and probably the most important thing for any family building an emergency savings fund to protect against unforeseen financial emergencies.
The hardest part of finalizing the family budget is making sure you have all the monthly expenses written down. Missing even one or two can seriously affect your budget because at the end of the month you will have less money then originally budgeted for. Be sure to think of those surprise expenses which is particularly important if you have children. It always seems that some unforeseen expense pops up around one of the kid's school activities, or they need new glasses or braces, or something along those lines. Of course if you have an emergency fund in place you can use money from this for such things.
Setting up a proper family budget will not only help you meet your financial goals but will also save money over the long run. Not having money worries will make family life better for all concerned; it just takes a little time and patience.

Still in his 60s, he was getting older, but like many of us, still feeling pretty good for his age. Retiring in 1998 after 17 years as rector of the Church of the Messiah in Gwynedd, Vincent Liddle, now 79, and his wife, Rosemary, bought a motor home and decided to see the country, even packing up their little dogs and occasionally driving out to California to visit their children. Sometime later, the couple sold their motor home and their house in Ambler and spent several winters in Florida, where Liddle worked at a small Episcopal church that was just starting up.
Indeed, life was good for this busy couple — until one day, about 10 years ago, when just as a precautionary measure, Liddle decided to go for an overall health screening. Although he had no symptoms, the screening showed an abnormal ballooning of his abdominal aorta, the main artery that supplies blood to the lower part of the body.
"Without any symptoms, the doctors in Florida decided just to keep a close eye on my condition with periodic ultrasound scans, testing me about every six months," Liddle recalled. "Then they said once every year would be fine."
About three years ago, Liddle and his wife decided to move back to Ambler. However, in October of 2012, another routine ultrasound at Abington Memorial Hospital showed that Liddle's aneurysm had grown. "At that time it had grown to 5.3 centimeters,"explained Liddle, "and the blood vessel could have burst, resulting in massive internal bleeding which could have been fatal. That's when the doctors at Abington decided it was time to intervene."
"With an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), we wait to intervene until the risk of rupture outweighs the risk of surgery," said Theodore Sullivan MD, director of Vascular Surgical Services.
Liddle's artery had reached that danger point, so the decision to operate was made. However, he was spared the kind of surgical operation that would have been necessary a decade ago which would have required a sizeable incision in the abdomen. Dr. Sullivan performed an endovascular aortic stent graft. Through small incisions on each side of the groin, he used live X-ray technology to guide catheters through blood vessels to the site of the aneurysm.
"Today we can offer a minimally invasive procedure to nearly 80 percent of those who require AAA repair," said Dr. Sullivan, "resulting in less physical stress and post-operative pain." Fortunately for Liddle, he not only received this new procedure, but he was also the first patient at Abington to benefit from surgery in the hospital's new $3.5 million, fully equipped hybrid operating room that allows for a collaborative approach to treatment. By placing multiple monitors around the hybrid O.R., physicians, technologists and nurses are immediately able to view patients' progress and vital signs.
"Vincent's case was almost textbook as far as AAA repair goes," said Dr. Sullivan. "It was a planned procedure with a great outcome." (Larger than a traditional operating room, the new O.R. is equipped with highly developed fluoroscopy equipment used together with 3-D high-definition video technology.)
According to Liddle, "In the old days, this kind of operation would have been horrific. I know of someone who had it done years ago and was in intensive care for two weeks, while it took another six months to recover. In my case, I was told I'd have to spend two nights in the hospital, but I went home after just one night."
Now that it's all over, Liddle feels he is back to normal with no symptoms at all. The only thing he has to put up with now is a CAT scan once every six months and an ultrasound every year just to make sure everything is as it should be.
"It took me about a week to fully recover, but now I'm feeling just fine — nice and healthy," Liddle said. "I'm able to serve part-time as an Episcopal priest at St. Matthew's Church in Maple Glen. I also enjoy working in my garden, taking walks with my wife and our two little dogs, Abbie and Joie, and just enjoying life in general. As for others, I would recommend everyone get a health screening. It can't hurt, and just like in my case, it certainly can help."

The Best Buy parking lot was full. Chevy Suburbans and BMW X5s cruised the aisles like sharks waiting to pounce on unsuspecting prey. Towards the front of the store however, more than a dozen spaces sat empty. They were saved for "fuel efficient" vehicles only. I heard a few groans as the big barges passed, kids in the back chirping excitedly with "there's one mommy, there's one!"
I maneuvered our Jetta TDI to a spot closest to the front door, got out and waited. Someone had to challenge my claim. I couldn't wait to give them an earful on the advantages of diesel fuel technology.
I stood there a good five minutes, defiant, like I had just conquered Rhode Island or something. Come on… someone pick a fight with me. I dare you.
It never came.
I got a few stink-eyes at first until they saw the subtle TDI lettering. In truth, I bet few folks even knew what the acronym meant but it looked impressive, one of those new-fangled German cars. I suppose the advantageously placed VW-sponsored billboard across the lot didn't hurt either. Touting its Jetta TDI with numbers like 45 mpg highway and 38 mpg city is damn good, especially given the TDI's 236 lb-ft of torque and 140 hp.
I'm sure the brass at Best Buy envisioned a fleet of Honda Insights and Toyota Priuses at the front of their stores. Any engineer worth his salt will say the same thing: hybrids are not an efficient solution for automotive applications.
Rather than delve into the science of why diesel tech is such a good idea, I'd rather focus on what makes the Jetta TDI a good car. And with some six months behind the wheel, I have a pretty good idea.
Firstly, it's easy to use. With the key lost deep within a pocket, its keyless entry system means simply touching the door unlocks it. While this may not seem like a big deal, try telling that to an overloaded parent doing eight things at once. I guarantee more than a few coffees have been spilled while juggling screaming kids, three backpacks, two soccer balls and a few days worth of groceries in the search for keys.
Once inside and buckled up, a simple button starts the Jetta TDI. Although I'm not a fan of where the starter button is (face up just in front of the shifter) I've got to admit its easy operation shaves points off blood pressure.
Secondly, its cabin is damn near bulletproof. Although I miss the tactile sensations of more expensive synthetics, the Jetta's interior is tough, and more importantly, easy to clean. A few quick swipes with a damp rag is all it takes to get the stuff looking new. The Titan Black leatherette seat V-Tex material has proven to be puncture proof. This was learned the hard way with a forgotten screwdriver in a rear pocket. While the front seats are comfortable with good lateral support, their tilt function is sometimes difficult to engage. Although I wasn't a fan of the older, hinge-located recline wheels, at least they were easy to find. The new design features the mechanism as a lower-back-mounted lever. It's difficult to engage and has left new passengers in awkward situations. The seat height mechanism however, is brilliant. Pump down for down and up for up. Freakin' ingenious.
As usual, the 40/60 fold-down rear seats are invaluable, especially when the Jetta's already copious trunk is filled. I can stuff two RC helicopters, five WWII fighter planes, a few chairs, a large cooler, radio and batteries into the Jetta. I've gotten more than a few looks as the Jetta disgorges such sizable loads. Oh, just think if I had the Jetta wagon.
The Jetta's cabin has had a few squeaks and rattles but they disappeared after a few squirts of silicone spray. Still, a total newbie might find them sufficiently annoying to warrant a trip to the dealership.
At first look, the Jetta's RNS-315 radio/navigation screen appears simplistic and therein lay its beauty. Program an address into the system and you will get there with a minimum of fuss. The verbal commands are accurate and even the most complex interchanges are well negotiated. Though the screen is smallish, it manages to pack the important stuff you'll need and the maps are decently detailed.
It took four months of not-so-subtle old-man jokes before I linked the Jetta's Bluetooth to my phone. Yes, it's nice and slick but it removes one more excuse for being incommunicado. Upon entering the Jetta, the kids first action is to link their iPhones through the interface in the glovebox. Why it's not on the center bin is frustrating. Someone should make a retrofit kit for that. Personally, I've never linked my iPod as the Sirius satellite radio gives me everything from The Who to Flyleaf. The moment the Jetta's three-month subscription ran out I was on the phone re-upping.
Our TDI was born with handsome five-spoke 16-in alloys and 205/55 all-season rubber. While the Jetta would look smashing in larger running gear, its current combination makes for a smooth yet spirited ride. Better tires, even 16-inchers, would make a noticeable performance upgrade, especially after our tuning session with the guys at Neuspeed. The TDI's uprated powerband means First and Second gear are little more than a smoke show as the 280 lb-ft of torque simply rip the tires from the road. Thankfully, the brilliant DSG transmission is up to task; keeping up with its mad torque would be a full-time job. Most of the time, the shift selector remains in S mode where it excels in keeping the engine in the meat of the power curve. DSG is even there on the downshifts, matching revs like a champ. I want to marry this brilliant bit of engineering. The 2-liter direct inject turbo diesel engine could be my mistress. It's powerful yet quiet demeanor is very sexy. I cannot help but wish I still had my beloved (yet despised) VW Vanagon. The TDI engine would have been perfect.
Our Jetta TDI carries an MSRP of $25,295, including three years of free scheduled maintenance and three-year/36,000 mile warranty. While Volkswagen dealers will cut deals on most of their inventory, TDI-powered cars are typically not among them. They carry a well-earned premium and rarely live on dealer lots for long.
Volkswagen has been the "mother brand" for legions of the Euro-performance crowd. We've watched the product line morph from docile 36-hp Beetles to leviathans like the V12 Phaeton. And all those cars in between, from first-generation Sciroccos to the latest Golf R have been engineered upward, each model better than the last. This latest Jetta TDI is something of a departure for VW. While it packs a terrific amount of technology, a well-versed fan-boy might see it as something of a step back, at least from a materials point of view. In truth, this latest generation of VW cars is made for people with little, if any experience with Volkswagen products. In time, they may even quest for more performance, more individuality. Like the first generation of VW Rabbits, an entire industry was spawned to make it happen. And who knows. Perhaps it will again.

Recently, I heard a number of clients remark about their management's lack of follow-through on hospitality and retention efforts. I suspect that this is the case with many clubs. A simple way to insure follow-through is for managers to take time each day to manage by walking around (MBWA).
MBWA means that all managers must get out into the club:
To observe how the staff is delivering the mission regularly.
To observe the satisfaction level of the members.
To observe how the staff is engaging with members.
To observe the physical appearance of the club for cleanliness, orderliness and safety.
To engage with staff to let them know what they are doing well.
To engage with staff when they need assistance, direction or correction.
To engage with members simply to connect, create and deepen relationships.
To successfully implement MBWA, you should require all management staff members to perform MBWA twice daily for 15 minutes each time. Make MBWA a designated/stated element of the job description for management staff. During MBWA, the manager needs to view the entire club.
Be clear that this time is not simply to socialize but to also insure that all staff members are contributing 100 percent while on duty (not to be confused with micromanaging).
Prior to MBWA time, make a list of the new programs, events or activities going on in the club that you want members to know about. Each week in your management meetings, this should be a topic of discussion. Come up with at least five programs, events or activities to discuss with appropriate members. "Appropriate" means that a Brains, Bones and Balance program should be offered to older members, and a pre-natal class should be discussed with pregnant members.
During your MBWA, you will cross the path of different population segments, so you want to be prepared to talk with them about something that has value to them. The conversation does not have to be solely about events or goings on in the club. Be comfortable simply making eye contact with members and stopping to say hello or introducing yourself.
For example, you see a member in the club that you have seen for many months (or years), and now it is time to be a gracious and professional manager by introducing yourself. Consider saying the following as you make eye contact:
"Hi, there. I have seen you many times in the club, but we have never formally introduced ourselves. My name is (your name), and I manage the (blank) department in the club. And you are?"
"Very good to meet you. How is your workout going today? How is your club experience going?"
Let them respond. Your response should be based on the conversation that is happening, not on a script. Then add:
"Very nice speaking with you, and I look forward to seeing more of you in the club."
Remember to be conversational and intuitive. There is no script. It is simply you being a gracious and professional manager by taking the initiative to have a conversation. It also is important that you understand when someone does not want to have a conversation and to graciously disengage.
MBWA should affect retention in the following ways:
Management will acquire amazing feedback/insight from members.
Management will acquire amazing feedback/insight from staff.
Management will have the ability to make adjustments quickly.
Management will have a huge increase in face time with members. Ten managers at 30 minutes each per day equals 5 hours per day of increased exposure to members and staff, or 35 hours of engagement with members and staff per week. How could an additional 35 hours of dedicated face time with members not affect retention in a positive way?
Have fun, and use MBWA to engage with members as well as to gather information about how to make the club experience better for members.

Ok as a 3rd kiter for more than 10 years I want to point out a topic up we like to ignore - or at best dont want to think about. The 3rd upper launch eroded dramatically over the years. Now, as google earth offers a time sider and a ruler I measured the beach length of their images 1993 to 2012.
So here we have the 93 image
and here the 2012
now with the line tool I measured the minimum beach length of the cove to the stones. So we get this graph.
We loose 9 meters per year. And quite linear. With the remaining 31 meters minimum we have till 2016 when the cove actually will touch the stones. We have to act either with the city or without. Now what do you think is the option of choice?
Best, Georg

Latin Tickets
Details of Latin and the Ticket Luck value
Summer is a great time for Latin music concerts. So, get up for a treat and beat the summer heat with a music feast! Nothing can equal the beat and passion of Latin music. The dynamite tunes and diverse styles have made Latin Music popular among music lovers. Latin music has long influenced various genres of American music especially pop, jazz, blues, rhythm and country music. Suffice it to say, many American bands prefer to add a conga player, Latin percussion or maracas. However, Afro-American music is much-heard style of Latin Music which has grown to heights through substantial contributions of several famous artists!
Latin America is home to diverse musical styles you can yearn for. Some of widely recognized musical styles include northern Mexico's simple & rural conjunto music, Cuba's sophisticated habanera, Puerto Rican plena's rhythmic sounds, Heitor Villa-Lobos' symphonies and Andean flute. Needless to say Latin American music is the music of all countries in Latin America. If you're still unfamiliar with Latin Music, it's about time to give it a try! It's our word that you'll get used to it soon.
Latin music is very diverse and comes in many varieties. It introduces you to the Latin-derived languages, especially Spanish, Portuguese, and others found in Haiti. Tropical Latin Music comprises African rhythms, European harmonies, and Afro-American traditions and features diverse styles. However, Afro-American music beats the rest for it comprises an amazing fusion of European, African, and indigenous tastes. It is not so long ago when late Queen of Tejano Selena and Julio Iglesias were the only pride of pop music culture. But, as time progressed, Latin music grew to new heights and today, it has become a popular music genre.
Artists who contributed remarkably to take Latin Music to the present success are Ricky Martin, Jose Gonzalez, Alejandro Fernandez, Gypsy Kings, and Marc Anthony among others. While, Latin Music styles include Samba, Tejano music, Mariachi, Palo de Mayo, Reggaeton, Polka Paraguaya, Peruvian music, Salsa and the list continues. In recent years, Meringue, Samba and Salsa have stealthily become a part of dance clubs. This constantly growing popularity of these genres has helped Latin Music to settle into the mainstream. Though dance clubs and performing arts center are great places to see Latin Music; but, the best place to enjoy it is at a concert. So, snatch up good tickets and enjoy Latin Music excellence!
Latin music exploded into the mainstream during the late 1990s. Tex Mex singer Selena will always be remembered for spreading Tejano style of Latin Music to other countries. At present, Tejano is being carried on by artists like Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Jon Secada, Christina Aguilera and others. If you're a music lover, you owe yourselves tickets to experience Latin Music. There's Syncopation; there's tango; there's Chacarera; there's Cueca; and there is Zamba too Latin Music offers beyond imaginations. So, if call-and-response style of Latin Music is your thing or Palo de Mayo is your preference, grab your tickets now. Latin Music tickets are tickets to experience music excellence!

Pasquale Rotella, CEO and founder of Insomniac concert production company, will be checking out the drum and bass DJ acts at the 19th annual Nocturnal Wonderland music and art festival this weekend at San Manuel Amphitheater.
"I like all genres of music," Rotella said. "One of the varieties is drum and bass. It's not the most popular style. The two originators, or kind of godfathers, of that sound are playing at the event — Andy C and DJ Hype."
English DJ Andy C, real name (Andrew John Clarke), and English DJ Hype, (real name Kevin Ford), will perform as part of a lineup that also includes Fatboy Slim, Bingo Players, Benny Benassi, Excision, Sander Van Doorn and more.
The event starts at 4 p.m. Saturday and will conclude at 2 a.m. For more information, head to http://nocturnalwonderland.com/.
Slim is a "legend," Rotella said. "He was big back in the day. He continued to stay relevant and I want to check him out. Carnage is another guy I want to check out. Bingo Players are buzzing and have a lot of big tracks out right now. Their energy is off the hook and people are excited to see them. I'm excited about seeing the whole crowd going off to them."
Nocturnal Wonderland attracted 40,000 people to the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino last year and Rotella believes he can get the same amount this year at San Manuel Amphitheater.
"We'll have the same amount of people. My hope is that they're going to love the new venue so much that next year we'll hit our 45,000 capacity."
The amphitheater "makes it easier because when it comes to the aesthetic of the venue, such as grass vs. concrete, it's a bit harder to get the Orange Show to look as attractive," Rotella said. "It helps us on the production side."
Additionally, the Orange Show is "more difficult," he said, when it comes to dealing with nearby neighbors because of sound issues.
"San Manuel is a lot better. It's kind of enclosed in the mountains. I still love the Orange Show. But San Manuel has been built for festivals. The Orange Show is more for fairs."
A spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said that law enforcement plans to make safety a priority at the 18-and-older event.
"Yes, we have plans for additional deputies to be at the Nocturnal Wonderland," said Jodi Miller, a Sheriff's Department spokeswoman. "We'll have between 80 and 100 deputies. The department plans to have undercover narcotics officers and narcotics trained dogs and a helicopter patrolling from the air. It's in an effort to ensure a safe environment."

BioShock Infinite Gets Sneaky with 1998 Mode
Do you want to dip back into the high-flying adventure that is BioShock Infinite but feel it's too easy now? Get ready for a challenge, because 1998 Mode is coming!
An announcement on the Irrational Game site announced 1998 Mode, a difficulty setting coming to BioShock Infinite's second episode of Burial at Sea on March 25.
You might remember 1999 Mode from BioShock Infinite proper, which amped up the difficulty considerably and provided a huge challenge even for veteran first-person shooter fans. 1998 Mode will take the challenge one step further by limiting players to using only non-lethal tools.
This difficulty was born out of Burial at Sea, Episode Two's focus on stealth and silence. The crew at Irrational Games found that players we self-imposing rules that stressed non-lethal takedowns. So now we have 1998 Mode to really test how well we can survive using only non-lethal means of dispatching our enemies in the next add-on. It'll be a wild ride, but one we're willing to sneak through quietly.

Reporting sightings of barn owls helps ODNR Division of Wildlife biologists estimate how many live in Ohio. This information benefits conservation efforts by tracking where and how the owls live. If people believe a barn owl is living near them, they are encouraged to call the ODNR Division of Wildlife at 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543) or email email@example.com.
This species is easily identified by its white, heart-shaped face, large black eyes and golden-brown and gray back. Adult barn owls communicate with shrieks and hissing-like calls, and the calls of young barn owls begging their parents for food are often heard on late summer nights. Finding pellets is another indication that barn owls may be living nearby. Pellets are regurgitated bones and fur of their food.
Small rodents living in hayfields and pastures are a barn owl's main food source. A pair of barn owls and their young can eat more than 1,000 rodents in a year. As their name suggests, these birds find shelter in barns or other dark buildings, like silos. These buildings provide a safe place for them to rest during the day and to raise their young.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife has provided shelter for barn owls since 1988 by placing nest boxes on more than 400 barns. Nest boxes provide an opportunity for them to nest in barns they could not otherwise enter. This program has successfully increased barn owl populations in Ohio. The number of nests has increased from 19 in 1988 to more than 100 in 2012. Biologists believe many nest in areas other than these boxes.

Here's a supremely elegant Bride sporting delicate scrollwork tattoos. She's a doll-maker, brought to life to create life in turn, making button-eyed monsters.
This sumptuous digital painting was created by Asunción Macián Ruiz, aka Medusa the Dollmaker, of Valencia, Spain. The artist dedicated the painting to "the divine Elsa Lanchester" and meant it as "a brief and tender tribute to all these movies that scared us and we grew up with, fathers and mothers of all actual terror films."
The art was used to great effect as the poster for the first Festival Gótico y de Terror de Málaga held in March 2010.
Asunción Macián keeps a website, a blog, and a deviantART page.

Well, Mr. Bubbles is tickled senseless that OU decided to pull their collective heads out of this season's butt and play some hot danged football.
Blah blah who cares bowl? Nope. This turned into the Sugar Bowl! Hoo-wee! There was a lot of crimson on that field.
OU and Alabama have a lot of respect for each other.
Now, I do not like the Longhorns, but deep inside my heart of hearts, with every fiber of my being, from here to eternity, I HATE, LOATHE, DESPISE, and DETEST texas a&m. I even refuse to capitalize the name.

We are sorry, Rachel, and you are right. Nothing can compete with bunnies. I am a little concerned about RG. After I stopped laughing about the "sewer-cide" comment, I began to wonder if he had been planning on spending his ill-gotten gains on Snickers. Anyway, has anyone seen him? Does that look like his writing to you all? I don't know why he lets himself be Charlie Brown to his brother-in-law's Lucy with the football, but I think it is a pretty regular occurrence. That is the last football reference, Rachel. I personally like to think that Zoey is sitting in the middle of the table, because an intervention is planned.

Brandi B, I have almost recovered from the OSU defeat ... haven't quite gotten on the OU bandwagon YET though ... I am almost there ... :)
I love Zoey! She makes a lovely table center. Does she pour tea, though? Or, just sit and look lovely? Looking lovely as she does, that is enough!

The National Football League season is a war of attrition, and while I'm not exactly sure what "attrition" means, winning in September isn't necessarily as important as surviving it. Last night, the Chicago Bears did neither, as their prized linebacker and noted dumb-looking white guy Brian Urlacher is out for the season after dislocating his right wrist in the first quarter of last night's game. Honestly, I know nothing about surgery, but can't you just tape that thing up and get on with your campaign? Honestly, I'm asking. I really don't know. But the Bears are losers in that turn of events, and Urlacher, by default, is one really big loser. Add Donovan McNabb to that pile as well, who is day-to-day after fracturing a rib in the Eagles' win over a woeful Carolina Panthers team. And he wasn't even the guy that threw four picks. Mmm, ribs.
In the Battle of Quarterbacks I Wanted To See Scorched With Hot Tar, Brady Quinn followed up his not really winning the quarterback competition in Cleveland yesterday with this fumble. I'm holding out hope that attempting to throw the ball, only to have it pop out as one's arm moves forward, will come to be known as the "Statue of Lenin" play. But I'm not holding my breath on that. Also, speculative fantasy owners recoiled with emotion ranging from shock to indifference when learning that Browns rookie running back James Davis was injured and briefly hospitalized in a car crash on Saturday. Sure, it's not crashing your motorcycle in a parking lot, but still…Davis had a whopping five carries yesterday. Awesome.
ASYLUM POLL: Who was the biggest choke artist of Week 1?
Also a big loser last weekend, Tila Tequila, whose case against Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman will not be pursued by local authorities. She responded by sending images of her "bruises" to TMZ, and I couldn't be any less impressed with the pics even if the Giants signed them to an extension.

The Green Mountain Stage Race is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday in Hinesburg and loop around Starksboro. Since we're Addison County's paper, this route deviates slightly from the original course, beginning in Bristol rather than Hinesburg. Here's a medium-length ride that's sure to get your blood pumping, and if you haven't had enough, you can take it like the racers and do it it twice!
Length: 29.82 miles
Difficulty: Intermediate
Sometimes you just need to get to where you're going. But why do it on a bike? It's fun; convenient in the spring, summer and fall; and if you're headed to Bristol from Middlebury or visa-versa, it only adds about 20 minutes to your trip. Both my colleague Brian King and I regularly ride this route. He rides from Bristol to Middlebury and back everyday, and I frequently ride to Bristol for an interview, meeting or my favorite beer around — the Bobcat's Chewy.
Few Addison County views are more breathtaking than the golden sun dipping down the backs of the Adirondacks at sunset, veiling the rolling farmland and surface of Lake Champlain in a golden cloak of luminescence.
One of my favorite times to head out on a north-south bike loop is during this period. Not only is the air a bit cooler, but you find yourself in the center of numerous sunset vistas as you breeze on by.
This week's Weekly Rider features a Middlebury to Vergennes loop called sunset loop.
Length: 25.2 miles
People from across the country consider Addison County a bike Mecca. It's home to steep climbs, 30-mile rollers and spectacular views. It also presents an extremely varied set of riding options to a wide range of cyclists, from those hammer heads looking to climb multiple mountain gaps to those bikers who haven't been out in years. One of my favorite shorter rides in the area is what I call the Triangle de Midd, Cornwall, Weybridge.
Length: 10.3 miles
Difficulty: Easy

|Pitkat Wins Caution-Filled ACT Invitational
|Local Racing Stars Attend Opening for new Museum
|ACT Returns for 9th Annual Invitational
|Back-to-Back for Eddie Mac
|Byron Takes Inaugural Chase Race
|ACT Announces Entry List for Sept. 24 Event
ACT Accepts First Three Invitational Entries
Two former winners and a new young gun were the first to accept invitations to the 6th Annual Bond Auto ACT Invitational to be held at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) on Saturday, September 20, 2014. Invitations were first sent to those who qualified throughout the season by winning either an ACT US event or Série ACT event in Quebec.
In 2010, Joey Polewarczyk, Jr (Pole), Hudson, New Hampshire, charged from the 27th starting position on the grid and ran away with an impressive win on the "Magic Mile". "We had a great finish to the 2010 season. This Invitational win was the icing on the cake. I think we won five races that year and finished second to Brian (8-time ACT Champion Brian Hoar from Williston, VT) in the ACT title battle for the American Canadian Tour Championship (ACT). Winning in front of the huge crowd, in my home state, was about as good as it gets," said Pole. Pole is currently leading the ACT Championship hunt with just two races remaining on the schedule.
The "Outlaw", Eddie MacDonald from Rowley, MA is one of the most recognized and accomplished racers in New England. Racing primarily on the NASCAR K&N Series, MacDonald is a three-time winner of the Bond Auto ACT Invitational, winning every other year from the inaugural win in 2009, and for a third time in 2013. "Eddie Mac and long-time crew chief Rollie Lachance are good no matter where they unload a race car. Certainly Eddie is schooling lots of ACT drivers at NHMS where he can thrill a crowd starting as deep as 27th or 28th and marching to the front in just 50 laps. He is equally impressive with his short track program," said ACT President, Tom Curley.
This year is a transition year and the field will see lots of new young talent on display, Kyle Welch from Newport, NH won the Riverside New Hampshire event in June and received an automatic bid. Welch sits 9th in the season-long point chase. He will lead approximately a dozen of the new young guns to Loudon on the NASCAR Sprint Cup weekend September 19-21, 2014.
A field of 43 regional short track stars of the popular American Canadian Tour will be part of a "Super Triple Header Saturday" of racing at NHMS, featuring the NASCAR Camping World Trucks, the NASCAR Whelan Modified Tour, and the Bond Auto ACT Invitational.

✰ "LIZ & DICK": New Review, Grant Bowler Interviews, New Clip ✰
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25 9.8c - LIFETIME
Can you do better than to hire a troubled star, hounded by the paparazzi to play a troubled star who was hounded by the paparazzi?
Probably, but why bother when you've got a ringer in the wings who's already in character?
I'm talking about the casting of Lifetime's much-hyped movie, "Liz & Dick" airing the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
The film is, of course, about the world's first paparazzi couple, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, and stars Lindsay "My Name is Trouble" Lohan as La Liz and Aussie Grant Bowler as Welshy boozer Burton.
The story unfolds during a supposed Liz and Dick TV interview post-second-divorce.
Yes, the couple did, in fact, do a "60 Minutes" interview, and much is taken from that. However, they were still married at the time of that interview.
The episodes in their lives are brought to life as the couple looks back on their insanely passionate, wildly scandalous (the Pope even denounced them), vicious real-life "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" coupling.
And it all begins on the set of "Cleopatra," where they hated each other immediately. A week later, they couldn't get enough of one another and were running off to rock their trailers between takes.
Lohan, in character as Taylor, is often so believable you might think you're seeing the real thing, but then every once in a while she'll backslide and deliver lines that sound DOA.
Not her fault, since Liz's words in real life were often affected and hammy.
Not that she had anything on her egomaniacal ham of a husband when it came to words.
Bowler has Burton's words and voice down pat, but are they kidding with that rug? It looks like he's wearing a yak on his head.
That being said, there are so many things in this movie that are just so damned juicy that it is sure is more fun to watch than the exploits of today's orchestrated star pairings.
Everything that Taylor-Burton did was gigantic, from making big bombolas like "Cleopatra," to getting into a vicious public argument at the premiere of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," while their alter-egos were simultaneously fighting up on the screen.
Both were married when they met — she to singer Eddie Fisher, he to an actress, Sybil Burton.
His handler was his beloved brother, Ifor (David Hunt), hers, her mother, Sara (Theresa Russell). But no one could ever handle either of them very well.
We learn that Liz was 29 when they met, Dick six years her senior. They were married the first time for 12 years, during which they made 40 films. Problem was she won two Oscars and he won none.
It's all here, the glamour, the fights, the boozing, the obsessiveness and even how she cheated on him with Aristotle Onassis in front of the press, to make him jealous.
She was more conscious of her image than he was. After a tabloid declared her, "Cleo-Fat-Ra" and ex- Fisher did a skit, "Cleo, Nympho of the Nile," she hired a personal paparazzo to shoot glamorous "candid" pictures of her to release to the papers.
Between fights and suicide attempts on her part, Dick bought her a 68-carat diamond, and she bought him a van Gogh. He called her fat, she called him pockmarked.
Exaggerated? Maybe. But really, it's almost impossible to top the exaggeration that was real life La Liz and her Dick.
The 'Intense Situation' of Filming 'Liz & Dick'
The premiere of Liz & Dick starring Lindsay Lohan and Grant Bowler is just 10 days away, and Kiwi actor Bowler tells ET that the short shooting schedule of the Lifetime movie about the combustible relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton helped to create "a very intense situation" to capture "these extremes of human feeling."
"There wasn't a scene between Lindsay and I that was casual, that was, 'Honey, pass the salt,'" says Bowler. "Everything was enormous. Everything was key. These were the great moments into great people's lives. You're living a kind of electric reality if you like – there's tension in the wire all the time -- and I think that really fed into the chemistry between us."
Premiering Sunday November 25 at 9/8c on Lifetime, Liz & Dick chronicles the highly publicized, roller-coaster romance between the Hollywood legends during the filming of the big-budget Cleopatra and other major projects.
"They were the first paparazzi couple; the expression paparazzi was built around this couple," says Grant of the title characters, who flaunted their affair while each was married to someone else. "They refused to hide, and it snowballed, something the likes of which I still don't think we've seen again. I mean, the Pope condemned their relationship."
Of course, the modern-day tabloids had a field day with Lindsay during production of Liz & Dick, claiming that the star would have tantrums on the set, be late, or wouldn't even show up… But how much of it was true? Did Lindsay's offscreen lifestyle mirror the chaos between Burton and Taylor depicted onscreen? Watch the video to find out…
Lindsay Lohan is quite a fit as Elizabeth Taylor, says 'Liz & Dick' co-star Grant Bowler
In life and on set, "Liz & Dick" play their roles.
While troubled diva Lindsay Lohan has been canceling interviews to promote Lifetime's Nov. 25 biopic in which she plays troubled diva Liz Taylor, her ruggedly handsome counterpart is carrying the burden.
"I actually think we had very different work methodologies," says 44-year-old Grant Bowler, who stars as Richard Burton in the highly anticipated flick.
"My father was a tradesman, so I come at acting from a workman's point of view. It's my trade," he told Confidenti@l in the SoHo hotel where he was staying Thursday.
"I do my work, I do my research, I put in as many hours as I can," he says. "It's a paradigm of labor, if you like."
Not shockingly, Lohan's approach isn't so blood, sweat and tears.
"For Lindsay," Bowler says, "I imagine, and I can only imagine … because she grew up on sets and did her homework on set and fell asleep watching TV waiting to go on set, it's a much more instinctive process. It's much more natural to be in the trailer or on set than anywhere else."
It's often hard to tell when Bowler is talking about himself and Lohan or Taylor and Burton.
"If you come from a small place where people are conservative and live within their boundaries [as Bowler did in rural New Zealand and Australia and Burton did in Wales], there's that thing of, 'Don't live above yourself, don't get too big for your boots, don't ask for too much, don't be a showoff.' "
According to Bowler, "I understand that. I also see a lot of the attraction between him and Taylor."
Speaking of Taylor — consciously, at least — Bowler says, "She'd been a star since she was a child and had none of those inhibitions. She must've seemed like a mythical creature to him. She didn't care what people thought. She had absolutely no regard for other people's opinions when they critiqued her."
Bowler continues: "I know [Burton] must've been fascinated and frustrated with her — and her the same with him."
Without giving details, he smirks and says, "When you're acting in a movie, those same things go on."
Lindsay Lohan: New Liz and Dick Clip—Watch Now!
Who's afraid of Lindsay Lohan?
Lifetime sure isn't, and we have an exclusive clip from Liz and Dick to prove it!
In the scene, Richard Burton (Grant Bowler) introduces Elizabeth Taylor to writer Ernest Lehman (Sex and the City's David Eigenberg), who pitches the movie adaptation of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to gauge her interest. Liz is instantly intrigued, but is less so when her husband immediately attemps to attach himself to the project alongside her.
Of course, we know Burton does go on to eventually star with his wife in the film, but as the clip below showcases, it was definitely a bumpy road to get there.

Aurora Quartz
Also being called Anandalite
Metaphysical uses for Aurora Quartz include:
- Easily opening and aligning all chakras.
- Bringing a sense of wonder and joy
- Opening the crown chakra.
- Activating the kundalini.
- Filling the entire body with light.
Other names: Anandalite™, 7 Color Quartz, Rainbow Quartz.
Aurora Quartz comes from only India.
We have had great feedback on using this quartz for a "chakra sweep". Use two crystals and:
1. Have client stand sideways in front of you.
2. Hold one crystal in each hand with points of crystal facing the client.
3. Start at the crown and slowly move down the body of the client about 1 foot out from the body.
4. Sweep from the crown down to the feet and then have the client turn around and sweep up the body in the same manner.
5. Sense as you sweep if there are any "sticky areas" that may need a bit more attention.
6. Give thanks to your self, the client and the crystals. Finish.
The clients reaction could vary from a sense of well being to having a full emotional release. This is a great stone to just get out of the way with. The stones seem to know exactly how to work with the client and what to do.
Please note that the pictures do not pick up the nuances of the color flashes. This is best seen in the hand where you can turn it around and get the color play off of the light source.
We are having a clearance of our Aurora Quartz. Why? John SR bought way too much a couple years ago and we need the storage room! We will continue posting new specimens and groups of smaller specimens, so if you don't see any today, come back tomorrow! Note: This does NOT apply to Aura Treated Aurora Quartz.
Note: The oringal pricing is what these pieces would have been at originally according to grade and weight at $1 per gram for the better quality and 50 cents a gram for the lower grade. These pieces have not been previously for sale as they are out of our storage.
