Earlier this year, the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana ran a small, tantalizing exhibit on the Home Savings and Loan murals painted by Millard Sheets at the request of Newport Beach-based tycoon Howard F. Ahmanson. Many of them still stand in Orange County, even as that bank turned into Washington Mutual, then dissolved into Chase Bank. And even as Chase shuts down branches of the old WaMu, it's committed to keeping those featuring Sheets' masterpieces of civic nostalgia. The best one... More »

"A sad, sad book"
I just don't know what to rate this book. As far as the writing itself, it was beautifully written. But the story, frankly, made me a little sick to my stomach. It is the story of a pedophile who is so crazy about this 12 year old girl that he marries her mother so he can have access to her. You start to believe that Lolita welcomes this until she gets a good chance to run away, and then she is gone. By then she is more like 16 or 17. Well this man is certifiably crazy, although he puts on a great exterior. He is educated, handsome, extremely polite and thoughtful. In short, someone who would be attractive to most women, and certainly to young girls. My heart just breaks for Lolita, whose real name is Dolores. He just starts calling her Lolita. It somehow evolves from her nickname of "Lo" into the more seductive sounding Lolita. What she must have gone through!!
Now with that said, I come back to the writing itself. Yes it is beautiful. It is even tastefully done. There are no graphic details other than a kiss, but of course it is extremely suggestive. It seems to me that it takes a lot more skill to suggest what is going on than it does to spell it all out. This book is tastefully written. I guess my heart breaks for Humbert as well. It is truly a sad, sad book. Haven't had something affect me like this since "Tess of the d'Urbervilles." I don't recommend either book, btw, not unless you are into heavy, sad but beautifully written books. I think I have to give this book three stars, sort of in the middle of things, because I sit the fence on it. I can't say that I'm sorry I read it, but it makes me sick to think about it very much.
I am sure one of the reasons I continued with this book is Jeremy Irons' narration. He is, as you would expect, a fabulous narrator. It is easy to fall in love with him. So, fabulous writing, fabulous narration, but sad story equals at the very least an interesting book. I know I should give it a five if I were true to my formula which is, if a book changes my life, it is an automatic 5, even if I didn't like it so much. But something just prevents me from doing that. I will always remember this book, but I will never read it again.
"Beautiful story well told"
This is a beautifully crafted story. I think the thing I enjoyed most about it is how the author, Jess Walter, was able to tell several different but related stories at once, weaving them together into a unified whole. The stories crossed many years and many countries before being tied up so beautifully in the end. Each story has its heartbreaks and happiness, bitter and sweet. It is like a symphony that passes the melody around through various instruments, but at last brings it all together in a glorious recapitulation.
The characters are well developed and run the gamut from many that I loved, to many that I disliked, to some that I loathed. I recommend this book to most adult readers, those who can appreciate a good story without freaking at the yucky stuff. There is some swearing in it, but it is mostly by the bad guys, something that made me dislike them all the more. I just don't like to read a lot of swearing. It isn't classy.
This book made me want to look up information on Richard Burton. Did you know he was #12 of 13 children? His mother died giving birth to #13. He was raised by his sister Cecelia. Burton was not his real surname. He took that name from his mentor who adopted him, Phillip Burton. Phillip made him go up on the highlands in the wind and practice his diction. He had to make himself be heard and understood without shouting. He was very close friends with Dylan Thomas, and grieved a long time when Thomas died young.
Thought you might enjoy that bit of Richard Burton trivia. You'll appreciate it if you read this book.
Narration by Edoardo Ballerini was top notch. Obviously Italian himself, he seemed at ease in both English and Italian.
"Good Ideas"
Ok, here's my problem. As soon as my eyes open, I only have one thing on my mind: Where's the food! So my pre-breakfast productivity is at a startling low. I am feeling guilty. I already get up at 5:30, but I don't get the exercise in. I need to start doing it, but then I need to start doing a lot of things. I enjoyed this book, but there wasn't a lot new in it. I love getting up early and getting a lot done, but then, I also love staying up late and sleeping in when I can. Which should I do? I guess I stay up too late too often because I am not that successful, at least not in monetary terms. (more guilt)
This author reads her own book. I have heard worse, but it would have been much better if she had hired a professional reader.
"What a great way to "read" Shakespeare"
Let's admit it, Shakespeare is daunting! I have a goal to read all of the plays, and then perhaps the sonnets, etc., but sometimes I don't know where to start. When I found this audio book that includes a commentary, I snapped it up. I could listen to and enjoy the fabulous play, but when I got lost or just didn't understand something, the commentator was there to help. She helped me understand word usage of the time, symbolism, and other useful things that are jam-packed in this play and make it the classic that it is. For me it was perfect. You can listen without the commentary as well, for people who would rather not have those comments going on but want to hear some great readers performing this play. I will definitely pick up other titles in this series.
"I have to admit, I loved it."
I don't want to be a Stephen King fan. Nevertheless, he knows how to tell a story! I have really liked some of his books in the past, and I really loved this book. It gave me so much to think about. I'm afraid I will have to read a few more King novels in the future. Darn it!
I was a kid when Kennedy was shot, and no explanation yet satisfies me as to what really happened. I didn't find an answer here either, but it was nostalgic to go back and revisit the scenes of that awful day. Everyone wishes it would never have taken place, but what if someone had stopped it? How different would things really be now? King stretches the imagination to the max, which is what he does best.
"If This Were Fiction . . ."
. . . you wouldn't believe it. A baseball game that lasts for 33 innings? Of course, there is much more to this book than 32 innings of a tie baseball game. It was interesting getting to know the players in a more personal way. Coming from a family of baseball fanatics- my dad and two older brothers, I knew the names of every player on every MLB team in the 1960s, so my feelings for baseball run deep. OK, maybe not EVERY player, but I knew a lot about a lot of them. In a lot of ways this book made me thing, "Those were the days." Everything is so formulaic and predictable these days, or so it seems. Well, I am a true blue, dyed in the wool Cubbies fan (I think they need at least one fan who doesn't HAVE to be), and when they finally make the playoffs for the World Series, I'm making a trip to Chicago to see them play. I hope it doesn't last 33 innings, though. But on the outside chance that it does, I'll be there until the bitter end.
"Quite a journey"
I read this book the first time many years ago. I was hooked instantly, and went on to read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I have loved these books ever since.
It was great this time 'round to have it read to me by a fabulous narrator. As I have read other reviews, I was struck by how many people were lucky enough to have a parent read this to them as children, or to read it along with a parent. I did not have that experience and am envious of it. So having Mr. Inglis read it to me is second best. That is not to say his reading is anything but amazing! and I also loved his singing of the songs. I want to believe he made the melodies up himself.
All in all, I was charmed again by this book, by the characters, the journey, the deep meaning, and the flow of Tolkein's writing. I rarely reread fiction, but this one is, and will be in the future, and exception to my rule.
"After all this time, still a great story"
In an allegory, characters are often straight forward with little depth to them. That is the way Christian is in this timeless tale from John Bunyan, originally published in 1678. Nevertheless, he does grow and change as he advances in his journey toward the Celestial City. I really loved this story, and I think I liked the second half, the story of Christian's wife, Christiana, and her own journey with their four sons, even better than the first. This book is easy to understand and has many lessons for life contained in it, and presented in a way that won't be soon forgotten. I will read and listen to it agina.
"I Waited Too Long to Read This"
This is one of the few times where I liked the movie better than the book. Not that the book was bad. I just didn't catch the vision of it. Perhaps I should have read it as a young person. I would probably have appreciated it more than I do now. I did get to see the movie with the irrepressible Shirley Temple multiple times as a child (we didn't have the capability of seeing a movie any time we wanted back then - had to wait until it came on TV, perhaps once every other year). I had a hard time believing in the deep relationship between Heidi and the Grandfather in the book, whereas the movie made it easy to see through him and into his heart. Just my observations. But I definitely think it is worth reading, especially if you are a youngster.
As this book has been recorded by multiple narrators, i was careful to choose the one I thought was best. I thoroughly enjoyed Marnie MacAdam's narration. It was natural and engaging. Some of the others I listened to had annoying pronunciations that I could never have listened to over a long period of time. I'm glad I chose her.
"Incredible Story"
What a surprise to find that this story is based on things that really happened. I loved this story, I loved the writing, the narration, and the incredible ending. Please listen to this one. It will restore your faith in mankind.
"I hear those same voices"
Speaking as one who has struggled with being overweight my whole life, I can say I learned a lot from "Skinny". I totally understand those emotions, and the self-abuse whenever I would fail at a diet or eat stuff I should not eat. My heart goes out to all who have this same struggle because it eats at your very being and can destroy your self-esteem. Not to mention how hard it is on your health to be overweight. I lost my only sister, all 350 pounds of her, to obesity-related illness at the young age of 47. I miss her every day.
This is a great book and I am very glad I read it. Everyone who has struggled or does now struggle with weight should read it. Although the method this young girl finally chose to help her become more healthy is not the route I would take, I certainly understand her reasons for doing so, and admire her courage.
The revelations about "Skinny" that we learned at the end of the book were worth the entire read! Fabulous!

Stem Cell Research
By Frank Morris
Kansas City, Missouri – Embryonic stem cell research promises to be a controversial topic in the Missouri General Assembly this year. A Kansas City area legislator proposes to ban the research in Missouri. If that happens, the Stowers Institute promises to build its new quarter billion dollar expansion out of state, instead of in Kansas City, as originally planned. Meanwhile, California voters have authorized spending three billion dollars to encourage stem cell research, further dampening Kansas City's chances of establishing itself as a major center of biomedical research. The Bush Administration has severely limited stem cell research and cut funding for it. Dr. William F. May, a religious scholar and ethicist, served on the President's Council on Bioethics, but disagreed with the moratorium. KCUR's Frank Morris spoke with Dr. May, who says stem cell research should be permitted, but regulated consistently throughout the country.

The Romneys are not like you and me.
[Ann] Romney alluded to the fact that not all women can stay at home saying, "I love the fact that there are women out there who don't have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people too. And sometimes life isn't easy for any of us."
You know who doesn't love the fact that there are women (and men) who have no choice but to work, rather than staying home full-time? It's those women (and men) who have no choice but to work. That's not something they celebrate; that's something they lament.
I don't blame Ann, though, any more than I blame Mitt for his rich guy gaffes. Because the Romneys aren't like you and me. They don't know what it is to struggle to pay the bills. The worst they ever had to go through was deciding when to sell part of their hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock to pay the bills. Ann never had to work; she could have, but she had the option not to. For that matter, Mitt never had to struggle to get his foot in the door; he was the son of a cabinet secretary. He had his dad's connections and his family name to trade on.
If the Romneys would show some sign of understanding that they're tremendously lucky, I could accept it. If they showed any evidence that they realized that their experiences weren't typical, that their experiences were not the same as most normal humans — well, I could accept that. I can understand them not knowing it from experience, but at least they'd show some hint that they had some empathy.
But they don't. They simply haven't spent time trying to imagine what it would be like to be poor or middle class. They have no understanding of what it means to struggle, not for a moment. They don't get it. And far worse, they don't want to.

REDFORD (AP) - An administration official says President Barack Obama will travel to an engine plant in Redford Township Monday to push his proposal for raising tax rates on wealthier Americans.
The trip is part of Obama's effort to get public backing for his positions and use that support to pressure Republicans to reach a deal on the "fiscal cliff." The president says there can't be a deal until GOP lawmakers drop their opposition to increasing rates on the top 2 percent of income earners.
Once in the state, the president will travel to Redford for an event on the economy at the Daimler Detroit Diesel plant.
Obama launched his public appeal during a trip to Pennsylvania last week.

Houston-based celebrity chef Monica Pope made a decision in August to close her restaurant T'afia and reopen it with a brand new concept. It took just fourteen days to transform T'afia into Sparrow Bar + Cookshop.
"At Sparrow, I am going to be cooking the things I would make at home for my family and friends – fresh, unpretentious and full of flavor," said Pope. "I want people to stop by without a reason or reservation."
Pope is a former James Beard Foundation nominee for Best Chef Southwest, a contestant on "Top Chef Masters" and the first Texas woman to be named a Top 10 Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine. Her mantra is "Eat where your food lives." Her fans can look forward to the upcoming launch of her second book, "Eating Hope." She shows food radio talk show host Cleverley Stone how to make a couple of dishes in the kitchen.

This was incredibly easy and very tastey. I added a clove of garlic to the sauce, and instead of microwaving it, I added the sauce to the pan after removing the chicken. Even my two year old loved it!

This recipe is a keeper. It is easy and fast. If chicken breasts seem pretty thick, I butterfly them so they cook faster without getting dry.

We're learning this morning that The Baltimore County woman who was stabbed to death and found in a home with two small children this week was under a protective court order and had also been under a police watch as well.
Police said they warned 33 year old Katie Hadel not to go back to her apartment.
But that's where officers found her when they forced their way through a locked door earlier this week.
The next day they arrested suspect Jeffrey Shiflett.
Police said he was not armed when they picked him up in Reisterstown.
The victim also was pregnant.

1/28/2013Are you sitting down, because we've got some shocking news: People are putting porn on a new part of the Internet! Twitter's Vine video-sharing app is already reportedly swamped with exhibitionists and smut enthusiasts, and developers are struggling to respond. Users can flag inappropriate videos using Vine's mobile app, which will eventually generate a warning screen that users must click through before the offending video plays. Twitter is reluctant to censor the posts, however, since the social Web tends to value freedom more than modesty on its sharing platforms. Until the company works out its skin-flick issue, though, it's safe to say that Vine probably isn't an appropriate all-ages experience. [Source]

A smokin' Chevy delivery van. Literally!
We love low-buck owner paint schemes, so we couldn't pass up this Chevy delivery van with custom homages to motorcycles, metal, and . . . yes, marijuana. According to its owner, it's a '68 "that was turned into a party van/band transport vehicle." Specs are minimal, though we're told it has a straight-six engine that was running "when I parked it two years ago", a five-speed manual, and best of all, "the tires are inflated." Cheech and Chong fans take note---this rig's located in Arizona, it can be had for a pretty low price (the last we checked, bidding was only up to $250, so if you bid 420 for it, you just might win) and you can put in your own bid by clicking here.

The Advocates
The Advocates are trained members of the Bucknell community whose primary responsibility is to provide information to student survivors regarding the medical, academic and legal options or needs a student may have following a sexual assault. With a focus on empowering the survivor to make his or her own decisions, the Advocates help to facilitate referrals, accompany survivors to medical treatment, answer questions about legal and judicial options, and help to ensure appropriate follow-up and support. They also assist survivors in connecting with resources that can help minimize the impact an assault may have on a student's academic career.
On call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
The Advocates are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the academic year to help students connect with helpful resources both on and off campus. If you or a friend would like to speak with an Advocate, call: 570-850-6115 (cell phone). Please note that only female advocates can be reached at this cell phone number. You may request to speak with a male advocate by calling 570-850-6115 or by contacting Public Safety at 570-577-3333.
The Advocate program is designed to provide a confidential resource for students in need. Speaking with an Advocate is not the same as filing an official report with the University or local law enforcement.

In match #6, 2010 at BMO Field, Sounders FC went on the road to face-off with Toronto FC, I made a horrible, inexcusable supporter mistake. Seemingly safe from such mistakes, I was at home in Highland Park, a quiet West Seattle neighborhood, in the comfort of my own home. When I broke one of the basic laws of soccer viewership while supporting your clubs away matches. I watched alone. No excuses, I messed up. Sounders lost 2-nil. Not even, "we had more of the game" from Sigi Schmid, helped the sour result. Some people still say that loss was my fault. Freddie Ljungberg left Seattle without saying "good-bye, Ryan". In soccer, you never watch alone.
Since that match I have reached out to acquire many quality skills in properly watching soccer alone. Required viewing; "The Social Network". Check. Acquire an IT specialist. Check. He is someone who knows the statistical vocabulary, and freakonomic calculations behind web design. My IT Specialist is, Thomas Breuler, whose growing certifications through, Western Governors University cause me only one minor problem. He owns a restaurant with his wife, Avalon, so I'll be washing dishes for a long time. Add Twitter account. Check. Add Sales on Sounders Facebook page. Check. Read and heed valuable Sounders supporter words of wisdom and advice for soccer-viewing while alone. Check. My good friend and Sounders Supporter, Todd Hodges said, "the communal exhale in victory, defeat, or draw is a vital part of the release", when viewing and supporting your club. Not to wax too spiritual, but if you're connected with everything "out there" then, Todd's right, you will truly never watch alone.
This time I'm ready. Only a 25-minute bus ride away from joining 36,000. A quick auto-swipe of an Orca Bus Pass, and it's a Metro dash to Qwest Field. I'll be in the hive of the Capitol of Soccer in America. Seattle hosts Toronto FC this Saturday, May 3oth at 7:00, from its home pitch, Qwest Field.
"It's not just the story that's being told. It's how it's being told". Daniel Mendelsohn, The New York Review of Books, "Why She Fell".
Mendelsohn, composed a wonderful essay chronicling, Julie Taymor's reasons for launching herself into the massive undertaking that is, Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark, the struggling, in process, Broadway musical. Her successful development as a director and creative mind behind other acclaimed productions, like Lion King, opened doors for her to take this type of "leap of faith" risk. In taking risk with such abandon, she literally takes artistic leaps without knowing if a net is below. She creates successful communal release and lands on her feet more than meeting the thud of failure. Unfortunately, the production rehearsals of Spider Man had too many thuds from falling actors without nets. Which caused her recent ousting from Spider Man. The musical has failed to the tune of $65 million. The Sounders would do well in the transfer window with that Broadway Bound Budget. Is Julie Broken? Maybe. Repairable? Proven. Julie puts no less than the entirety of her soul into her work. She will land on her feet again.
Steve Zakuani's leg was broken last Friday night in the third minute of the match with Colorado Rapids. Brian Mullan slid with a reckless tackle causing the horrible break to Zakuani. Mullan received a total 10 game suspension and $5,000 fine. It is steep. One of the steepest in MLS history. But Brian has accepted the penalty without challenge. Demonstrating both his wish for Zakuani's recovery and acceptance for his brief lapse of judgement when launching into his slide tackle.
Julie's failure and Brian's recklessness whether artistic or sporting, challenges us to realize a necessary way to play in life is to leap with abandon. Net or no net, leap into risk. The difficult and critical challenge is separating abandon from reckless abandon. Julie Taymor is one of the best at doing so much with so little. The uncloaked actors holding puppets in, Lion King is her genius-mind realized. Brian Mullan has won five MLS Championships with all 5 MLS clubs he has played for. So, even the best can fail. $65 million is not needed to realize an artistic vision. Hard tackles in the 3rd minute of matches while in your opponent's end of the field are also not needed. The failure in both situations is steep and weighted with heavy retributions. It is necessary to measure who these people are when looking beyond their errors and oversight in recent challenges.
Not to make excuses for their actions.
Julie Taymor and Brian Mullan both failed. This should not be their legacy. These two are among the best of their skilled trades. Their successes outweigh their failures. I'm not making excuses for them, but rather trying to see that how they play the game is with head strong visions. Failure is a hard mask to see through. It's blinding. How they have played recently is in question. But the final chapters in their stories are long from being published. They play without abandon and without net. They dance the fine line between acceptable and unexplainable. My guess, they are learning even more than most of us how to play alone in such challenging and necessary circumstances that they will once again grace the stage and pitch as champions.
No, these thoughts do not credit Broadway with $65 million. Nor do they unwind the cast on Zakuani's leg so he can step on the pitch this weekend. For that, I'm angry. I was hundreds of miles from Commerce City, CO and Dicks Sporting Goods Park where Mullan brought Zakuani down. As Twitter lit up with the awful news I wanted to retaliate. I couldn't watch the replays. I felt a broken supporter in a broken season. I wanted to know why Zakuani fell. Even with improved communication skills, new technology, and communal social mechanisms i felt alone in a lost season. Fortunately, Sreve Zakuani's words spoken from the heart, kept me from feeling I was watching alone. He spoke to everyone who has ever had to overcome adversity, failure, and feeling alone.
In Steve Zakuani's own words:
"The long road to recovery has already started and I am fully aware of the mountains ahead of me but I also know that I will go through all of the challenges ahead with a positive attitude using my faith in Jesus Christ as a solid foundation on which to overcome this setback."
In Liverpool, every match begins by singing "You Never Walk Along", from the musical, Carousel, by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Who says Broadway and Beckham aren't as connected as Taymor and Mullan.
Steve Zakuani on Twitter:
24/April: Surgery went well and I am on the road to recovery. "A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step." Speak to you all soon!
24/April: Overwhelmed by msgs of support/encouragement. Can't change the past, but I'm gonna control my future by remaining positive! One love!
Sounders FC spirit is low. A five match undefeated streak feels forgotten. Our #11 is not in the starting XI for Saturday. 36,000 fans holding #11 signs up for Zakuani to know beyond any possible cognitive doubt he is not alone in Seattle is our selfless hope to lift his spirits. And hopefully our own.
A win Saturday changes everything. Zakuani's spirit. Club spirit. Supporter spirit. Everything! That dark feeling of failure, even when comically watching your team alone, could fade into the abstract. Leaving Zakuani and every Sounders FC fan a real feeling of communal pride. It will be a tough match. If there is any MLS team capable of the mental metamorphosis needed to leap boldly into uncharted challenges, it is Sounders FC who will accept the challenge to "turn off the dark", on Saturday night.
* * * * *
Dedication and acknowledgments
Not a normal feature on, Sales on Sounders, but match #8 seems like a good time for a dedication and "thanks" to a few important people in the growth and support of this page.
Dedicated to the speedy recovery of our speedy Sounder, #11 Steve Zakuani.
Sales on Sounders first promotion: IT Specialist and Man of Infinite Football Wisdom, (a true Red) Thomas Breuler.
Thanks to the first Seattle Restaurant, Avalon, dedicated to viewing and support of Liverpool FC and Sounders FC.
Thanks also to Todd Hodges, a dedicated Sounders Supporter and loyal Sales on Sounders follower.
Additionally, I wish to thank my brother, Aaron Sales for his knowledge, belief, and direct free kick in the butt to push on.
It takes a critically intelligent eye to shed light on a dark moment. Thank you Dan Gardner. Please read the full NY Review of Books essay, "Why She Fell", by Daniel Mendelsohn.

Just five games into the season, the WNBA's Eastern Conference has already turned into an intensely competitive place with Indiana, Chicago and the Connecticut Sun tied for first with 4-1 records. Each time the teams play each other, and they play each other often, there is going to be a lot at stake.
On Friday in Indianapolis, the Sun and Fever meet for the first of four times this season.
Indiana is coming off its first loss. The New York Liberty, who lost to the Fever by 23 Saturday in Indiana, responded with an 87-72 victory over the Fever on Sunday in New York. It was New York's first win after losing its first five games, including two to the Sun.

Legislature Approves Susitna Dam BillA bill passed unanimously by the Senate yesterday and approved unanimously by the House today increases the powers of the Alaska Energy Authority, clearing the way for the agency to submit a permit application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.The Legislature has taken the first step toward fulfilling the longtime dream of a dam on the Susitna River. The bill, now on its way to Governor Sean Parnell for his signature, is something that all lawmakers agree on.
The Susitna Dam hydroelectric project was first proposed in the 1980s.
Today the House of Representatives finally took the first step toward getting the $5 billion project under way.
"I'm honored to be here today because I feel that we are making an historic step forward," said Rep. Lance Pruitt, R-Anchorage. "We are going to act on a project that we have been discussing for 30 years and making the initial step in making this a reality."
A bill passed unanimously by the Senate yesterday and approved unanimously by the House today increases the powers of the Alaska Energy Authority, clearing the way for the agency to submit a permit application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
There is no guarantee that the dam ultimately will be constructed.
"We don't know whether the cost-benefit analysis will work," said Rep. Les Gara, D-Anchorage. "That is, we just don't know how expensive the energy will be from this project and how big a state subsidy will be required."
But lawmakers envision broad-ranging benefits for the state.
"Energy prices around the state will get more competitive -- electricity to oil to gas. Everything else will feel the impact," said Rep. David Guttenberg, D-Fairbanks. "And that goes right to cost, not just on the Railbelt but in rural Alaska, as well."
"We get a bonus, we get a 39-mile long lake that isn't there right now," said Rep. Carl Gatto, R-Palmer. "And my guess is that lake will have some pretty fun fishing, boating, cabins, lodges."
So on this occasion, instead of conflict, the dam bill was cause for celebration.
Funding related to the Susitna Dam is still pending in the capital budget bill. Governor Parnell has warned legislators he will use his line-item veto authority to trim that bill, but he favors the dam project.
Senators have included language intended to force the governor to veto that, as well, if he vetoes other energy projects.
You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Thursday, Apr 21 at 4:53 PM Yeah, we need a dam on the wild waters because their are way too many salmon now. Hopefully this boondoggle will get through now that great Alaskans like Hammond are out of the way. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Apr 20 at 7:08 PM My my Alaska might take a step forward Amazing. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Apr 20 at 6:52 PM Looks like the gov bullied the legislature....and, Gatto, I'm really amazed at the lake comment...This is wild Alaska (well, it used to be....)...too bad you're one of those trying to rape AK and make it like the48...Wish you and the other guys that voted for it would get a one way ticket outside...with the governor.

Overall Averages
Beautiful resort, friendly and helpful staff. My family enjoyed the stay, the slopes were groomed every night and lots of different terrain. We had to walk to the outdoor pool and hot tub, a little chilly but nice. The only down side to Crystal Mountai is the food. The cafeteria food was by far much better than the restaurants on site. Very expensive and not good. I will go back but will find out the name of the nearest pizza place that delivers.
Been skiing Crystal for 5 years now I live just 25 minutes away. My daughter took classes there and we have bought season passes for 3 years. Crystal is a good place for young kids to learn. I suggest buying a lesson session or 2 and leaving them to the experts your patients and their frame of mind will both be happier. The ski school is excellent and reasonably priced.
The mountain has a little something for every level. Predominantly blue runs bit good easy and a few blacks make it well rounded. I lived in Colorado and Utah so I have a good knowledge of what big skiing is. This is a great place to warm up at if you are heading west. If you are looking for a good family winter vacation. Book it and have fun.
We had a great time over MLK weekend. Not a ton of snow but they made the most of what they had in a big way. Great staff, especially the ski instructors for our kids.
We are going back on January 26th - unbelievable deal - 5 tickets for only $50 bucks - something about their 50th annivsary special.
Very nice place to ski. Lots of runs for skiers of all abilities. Very friendly workers. The food is good, of course the prices are high for food but what ski hill's don't have high priced food. Anyway, enough about the food. They have great accomidations. They have a killer deal: if you buy 4 season passes before oct. 1st, the season passes are $199 a piece. its a great deal. If you get a chance try it out a couple times this winter, and get a season pass next year.

Music can be a wonderfully effective teaching tool for preschool aged children. My Jewish World guides teachers through the process of introducing and utilizing song in the classroom to teach Jewish values.
In her comprehensive and easy to follow book, Judy Caplan Ginsburgh includes twenty-six songs, religious and secular, that will help to facilitate an environment of fun and learning. Each song addresses important Jewish concepts and many use Hebrew words and prayers. Judy provides comments, activities, and creative ideas, specific for each song, which can be used in the classroom to learn about being Jewish every day. The importance of saying the Sh'ma each morning, learning the Hebrew words for colors, understanding body parts, and the value of cooperation are only some of the Jewish concepts touched on in the book.
In addition, Judy Ginsburgh includes a list of suggested books for many of the topics. These books help to reinforce and expand the lessons laid out in the curriculum.
With a helpful glossary of Hebrew and Yiddish terms and the companion music CD, My Jewish World is a wonderful guide to making music significant in the Jewish classroom.
This is the way that Chanukah was meant to be celebrated!
The Chanukah Activity Book is overflowing with games and activities to use during the Festival of Lights. Judy Dick, author of The Seder Activity Book, has filled her new book with programs for children, grades K-6, and their families to use on each of the eight nights of Chanukah. As the candles burn and the latkes cook, your family will be experiencing Chanukah in a whole new way. Children will enjoy activities such as Maccabee word games, coloring their own chanukiyah, and discovering the symbols, rituals, and history of this holiday.
Whether they are working on their own or with their parents, at home or at school, The Chanukah Activity Book allows children to begin creating a personal and spiritual connection to Chanukah.
- Includes relevent and age-appropriate Hebrew vocabulary
- Offers a variety of perspectives on Chanukah and its history
- Great for use in the classroom and at home.
The long-awaited early childhood music curriculum! From Judy Caplan Ginsburgh, the renowned children's singer-performer. Teaches daily rituals (both everyday and Jewish rituals) in a fun, accessible way that is as appealing to parents and teachers as it is to kids! A full production recording featuring Ginsburgh with a little help from producer/instrumentalist Josh Nelson (of Yom Chadash).

Date published : 30 May 2012 - 18:46:52
On a sleepy Roland Garros afternoon, Roger Federer found himself discussing life lessons in tennis, carrying the Swiss flag at the Olympics...and Queen Elizabeth's diamond jubilee.
It's been nine years since the great Swiss last lost a Grand Slam match before the third round stage, so he is not surprised when faced by questions which have little to do with the business just completed.
So it was on Wednesday as Federer moved into the last 32 of the French Open with a four-set win over Romania's Adrian Ungur with a record-breaking 234th Grand Slam match win.
"In the beginning, when you think you're good but maybe you're not that good yet, you get many surprise losses," he said, as painful memories of earlier visits to Roland Garros came flooding back.
"They hurt you. I have had a few here -- against Arazi (2002), Horna (2003). Against Gustavo Kuerten (2004, third round), I was the favourite. I thought his hip wasn't good and he came off a five-setter and I lost in straight sets."
Playing in his 50th straight major, the 16-time Grand Slam title winner has got used to post-match inquisitions often taking on a significance far outweighing the occasion.
"There is a different momentum in the press conferences. That's the toughest part sometimes."
And so it proved on Wednesday as his Roland Garros chances were quickly to put to the side in favour of the Olympics and his dining habits with members of the British royal family.
Will he be carrying the Swiss flag at the London Games for a third successive Olympics?
"I haven't heard officially yet. I have heard rumours and I would love to do it. I have done it twice in Athens and Beijing. It's a dream for me."
The Olympics tennis tournament is being held at Wimbledon where Federer has already won six titles.
It was also where he met and lunched with Queen Elizabeth II in 2010 as the British monarch visited the All England Club for the first time in 30 years.
The British media wanted to know what he thought of the queen's 60 years on the throne and his memories of meeting her ahead of jubilee celebrations this weekend.
"I have had lunch next to the Queen. That was exciting. It was a big honour. She watched Andy Murray and I think they even scheduled the whole thing around her.
"She was very sweet, very nice, very polite, of course, and just a pleasure to be around."

As the White House and Congress grapple with negotiations to prevent yet another showdown over raising the country's debt limit, hospitals across the nation are worried the so-called "fiscal cliff" will encourage lawmakers to strike a deficit-reduction deal that could cripple safety-net programs and hospitals.
Medicare and Medicaid, two of the budget's largest entitlement expenditures, are ripe territory for potential cuts in a "grand bargain" on deficit-reduction. But health care advocates like Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist — who is a former physician and an unabashed Obamacare supporter — warn that excessive additional cuts to Medicare- and Medicaid-servicing hospitals could be devastating:
"I don't think hospitals understand how deep these cuts are going to be in the grand bargain," Frist said at the World Healthcare Innovation and Technology Congress.
The possibility for more hospital spending cuts on top of those coming under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was not a surprise to some.
"If you just take a look at where the money goes in terms of federal expenditures, healthcare is right there," said Dr. Robert Laskowski, CEO of Christiana Care Health System, Wilmington, Del. "So the bull's-eye is an accurate description of the risk."
In response, his health system is focusing on implementing and expanding quality improvement and cost-savings initiatives. Laskowski said he did not know whether such initiatives by many hospitals would succeed in dissuading deficit negotiators from targeting them.
Safety net hospitals are already worried about the strain they will be under in the states that don't participate in Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. The health reform law cut funding to Medicaid disproportionate share hospitals, expecting the expanded Medicaid pool to offset the cost, but those cuts will deeply hurt safety-net hospitals if GOP governors keep refusing to expand their states' programs.
The potential of looming spending cuts can help encourage doctors and providers to find innovative ways to cut health spending and improve their systems of care. The health law does include some cuts to hospitals' reimbursements in order to reallocate those funds to reward the hospitals that provide higher quality, less expensive care. But if Congressional leaders shirk difficult budgetary decisions on taxes, defense, and discretionary spending and choose to instead slash funding for safety-net services in a way that spurs contraction instead of innovation, they will be balancing the budget on the backs of America's sick, poor, elderly, and the hospitals that give them life-saving treatment.

Years ago, the word "flexibility" carried a different meaning in the filling systems space — it might have referred to different packaging formats and beverage categories. Today, proliferation of SKUs and the increasing number of particle-filled beverages have stretched the word's definition in the beverage industry.
ProMat 2013, which took place Jan. 21-24 at McCormick Place in Chicago, gave attendees an inside look at some of the newest supply chain solutions provided by material handling and logistics equipment manufacturers.
Whether it's the growth of the wine, spirits and craft beer markets or the popularity of natural beverages, glass packaging manufacturers note that these trends are having a positive effect on this primary packaging material.
For beverage containers on the shelf, standing out tends to be the name of the game. To create a differentiated shelf presence, beverage packages often flaunt different shapes, materials and styles.
As the beverage industry continues to see increases in packaging shapes and sizes as well as sustainable offerings, it's clear that beverage-makers aren't lagging in the innovation department.
Despite the threat from Hurricane Sandy, Pack Expo International 2012, hosted by the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI), topped 2010 numbers.
Novelist Dan Brown has seen his protagonist Robert Langdon decipher his fair share of codes and symbols in his best-selling novels, but for consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, it's all about clear, concise codes instead of ones that contain hidden secrets.
According to a recent report by the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI), the market for labels is increasing year-over-year by as much as 5.2 percent.
Bulk, portion-control, lightweight, flexible and additional packaging innovations have placed a strain on production equipment such as palletizers.
On the production line, beverage packages face multiple obstacles, such as chipped or broken glass, deformed plastic, mis-seamed cans, over- or under-filling, incorrect labeling, leaking, contamination, and misapplied caps and closures, to name a few defects.
AVAILABLE ON DEMAND SQF 2000, FSMA, ISO 22000/PAS220 and other standards continue to gain traction in an attempt to create safer foods and beverages.
The June 2013 Beverage Industry includes a cover story on Tenth and Blake Beer Co., as well as articles about MillerCoors and the Top 100 beverage companies of 2012. Check it out today!
