Interested in new Frye products?
Frye's current Harness Boots are rooted in tradition and continue to draw influence from the Cavalry. Today the classic Harness Boot holds a place in American culture. The Frye Harness Boot has been pictured in fashion spreads internationally. In 1938, on a trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye's grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who confided that he had trouble finding the Wellington boots he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill requests for these boots through the Second World War. During World War II, Frye supplied thousands of servicemen with Frye Wellington boots, known as Jet Boots, by mail order.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot, from its 1860 original, featuring a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like these "new" Frye Boots on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Fryes." When searching for items to represent the America of the 60's, the Smithsonian Institute chose a pair of Frye Boots.
The quality of all Frye shoes is timeless. For almost 150 years, Frye leather products have continued to be benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers. It takes over 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots. Frye remains dedicated to the commitment of craftsmanship for which Frye boots and Frye shoes have been known for more than 100 years.

This boot is so amazingly jolie-laide tough-girl sexy I cannot even deal. It's well-made, too, and the distressing on the leather is awesome. Unfortunately, it doesn't zip up around my ankles -- I have wide ankles & calves -- so back it goes. If you have big calves that start low, even though this is an ankle boot, you might want to give it a miss.

These shoes definitely run at least a half size smaller than you would normally order. I am a 7 in everything and the 7 felt too tight, it was hard to zip up and unzip. I returned them in exchange for a 7.5 and even those are not very roomy but I think they will break-in comfortably. I ordered the dark brown and the cognac because I couldn't decide -- I prefer the cognac in person, it is not as light as it looks online and it has a little more character than the dark brown does. These are great boots though and I can't wait to wear them for years to come!

Sad to have sent these back. I really liked them, but for me they for just too narrow. I am normally a 9.5-10(m). I went with the 9.5's and had about 1/2 an inch of wiggle room at the toes. The length was perfect, but the width was just too narrow. I own the Veronica Slouch in 9.5m and those fit great; thought since the styles was similar these would work. They are lovely in person and I would recommend them to those with narrow feet. It's worth a try, you won't lose anything with Zappos' great return policy. Maybe they'll work for you. By the way, I had no zipper issues and the quality is great. Leather smells yummy.

Any thoughts on Ms. Hill?
(p.s. I just went through and corrected all the spelling, etc. I guess writing posts at 3:00am isn't what it used to be!)
I love Lauryn and still listen to Miseducation. I don't agree with some of her choices and she probably wouldn't agree with some of mine. Whatevs. It's her life and she has to live it. As talented as I believe she is, maybe you're right in that she only had one great album in her. And maybe that was enough for her. So it should be enough for us too.
Another great post here. You know they say success can take you where character will not sustain u.
I think it is easy for us to judge from outside looking inside not knowing the whole truth. I have to say, she still has it though. I saw her in NY last year , several hours late but she brought the house down.
Number 1 is definitely worth exploring.
Excellent post! All these years I'd simply chalked L-Boog's uneven behavior and inability to focus and produce quality work to mental instability.
But: "Maybe some people have just one blast of perfection in them"... I'd never considered this until reading your post. Sad thought...
i like observation #2 & #4. i have always felt as long as a person is doing no harm to self or others let them do them. any lessons to be learned along the way will be more meaningful if allowed to just be.... L-Boogie, do you boo cause no one does it better!
Huge fan of Lauryn's music. Her life choices? Meh. No thank you.
When we stop trying to understand and explain genius, we'll be the better for it! People who write, produce, sing, act, play, invent, think in a way that is inexplicably profound have minds (and therefore actions) that are equally inexplicable.
That is all.
This is so true, this will explain MJ and the rest.
Lauren gets the Southern Blanket Cure-All phrase from me:
Bless her heart.
I'm rooting for Lauren, bless her heart. ;-)
Oh! I totally wrote my post without even seeing yours. The "Bless her heart" immediately popped into my head too!
People are funny. I wish Lauryn Hill will turn around one day to say, People 'I, my life, my love and my family are not your expectation'. She owes us nothing.
I dig both her albums. For me, both MsEDucation and the MTV unplugged albums were classic. I'm not interested in what she wears or even her family life.
And I always give people who call her crazy or mentally unstable a side eye. Like really? she can't just be a temperamental artist in a shitty contract lockdown? It couldn't possibly be that once she started having kids she stopped wanting to be viewed as some sexual symbol and so decided to just go out there creatively with stage costumes?
Who knows what crazy people are gunning for the the 'seed of marley' and trying to place some kinda unreal expectations on her offsprings head?.
I think a little differently from you on this:
We give 'genius' to much latitude, when in reality we all have it. we are largely just conditioned not to explore or exhibit it.
Yes, creativity needs space, it also needs chaos. It exists sometimes, in the intersection of the two, I contend that it is also the epitome of focus, dedicated work ethic and years of constant investment in a particular activity, knowing it so intimately that you then have the ability to not only question its rules but to also break them.
Genius? It gets put in a box when real life and real needs happen. :( Always makes me want to cry when I think about it.
If we all have it, then why do only a few explore it? And is there not something different about those who do?
She picked a hard path but if she likes it, I love it.
I think while we have NO place to judge her in any way; it is expected for people to have thoughts or opinions on artists that produce their art to reach people in a profound way? No one knows but Lauryn her motivation for the choices she has made in her life and career. But as we watch from the outside looking in we can see her struggle because it is the same as many in our society-- that no matter how successful, professionally-- they can't seem to find the same level of success personally.
I think #1 should definitely be a post. I have never been much of a fan for L Boogie. My inner clinician really wants her to sit on someone's couch or upholstered chair. Otherwise, I say "live and let live."
Six kids and no husband? I'm not judging but that's incomprehensible to me.
People were killin' old girl on her comeback concerts last year. Hell yeah she was late, she got an entire dream team to feed and clothe at the heezy. Said her voice didn't sound the same - she been screaming at all dem damn kids!
Let L-Hizzle live. If she really wanna come back, she'll be back.
I don't agree that everyone has genius in them. By definition it is exceptional and rare. I do believe we all have talent inside of us now whether it's genius level or not is going to always be up for debate.
Fromt he outside looking in, Lauryn has always seemed like a woman who was looking for something. Like there was a missing puzzle piece and she was hellbent on finding it. I hope she's learned that Mr. Marley is not that piece, at the very least.
A long time ago (in a conversation about Richard Pryor) my father told me to "love the art, not the artist"
Miseducation is a great piece of art
Nuff said.
There it is.
Better her than me.
I totally agree - #1 may deserve an entire week's worth of posts
There are some artists that we are always going to want to see return to form - Whitney is one, Lauryn is another. We're always going to wonder if A Different World will do a reunion show and why can't someone write sequel to Love Jones.
Love Jones 2 would be awesome. Who thinks Darius and Nina are still together?
That couple had midlife crisis breakup written all over them.
That couple had midlife crisis breakup written all over them.
Nuff said indeed.
And why couldn't I say it like this? LOL
Great post. As much as I would love for Lauryn to put out more music, that's not happening right now, and I get that. Lauryn doesn't owe us anything. I think some fans make the mistake of thinking they deserve more from a celebrity - especially when it comes to their private lives. It reminds me of when Beyonce and Jay-Z had their secret wedding, and some fans were upset that they didn't make some sort of announcement or release any pictures. They don't have to do anything of that sort. Back to the subject at hand - I wish Lauryn the best in whatever she pursues.
I gotta go with you on number 4. Maybe she gave the best she had to give and that was that.
Six kids tho???
Motherhood ain't no joke! And with half a dozen runnin around....shiiiiit!!!
You should write it!
For some reason no one ever brings up that she may have a mental illness, (bi-polar, maybe.) her behavior and choices post The Mis-Education album are mad questionable. The weird clothes, crackish behavior and lack of productivity made me think about something being off in her think box.
Her story is similar to D'Angelo's. (a similar post can be done about him) I was one of those people patiently waiting for Lauryn's triumphant return, reality set in and I thought, maybe we are expecting to much from her. Maybe she can't duplicate the artistry that she created with The Mis-Education record and is haunted by it's success. I know that sounds crazy but it happens. As you stated, some artist have one great album in them. The Mis-Educaton of Lauryn Hill is a classic and Lauryn is a legend because of it, her contribution to music may have ended there.

What I don't understand is why people keep holding on? Having hope in 1999 that she'll bounce back after kid #1 is different from continuing that hope and paying good $$ in 2011 expecting a great show only for her to appear hours late (if at all). Her behaviour is not due to artistic eccentricity - she HAS issues and her people need to deal with it. Her appearance in Brooklyn years ago sealed that for me. It was a free concert & I still wanted $ back for wasting my time (I think she was on #3 at that point).
I wish her well but I feel more for her kids and she and Rohan need a big cup of sit your hindparts down. This isn't back in the day where daddy can have kids in different villages and every one knows but doesn't talk about it. In the age of TMZ/FB/Twitter etc they BOTH need to be mindful of the fact that their kids are old enough to be affected by their actions and behave accordingly.
I loved that movie when it came out but after wearing the VHS then DVD out in hindsight there are so many red flags regarding their "love story" that I sadly have to agree with you.
Success not only "ruined" Lauryn Hill it also "ruined" the Fugees as well. There are no mechanisms for people in the spotlight to deal with fame or success. It is the reason why we see celebrity meltdowns play out in public. I am happy to have "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" and that's that.
I agree she may have only had one stroke of greatness Yes enjoy the art and have no expectations from the artist Don't waste time projecting what's next for someone else, when we can hardly do it for ourselves.
I have to admit when she
announced that she was naming her sixth child Marley even though Rohan
isn't the father, I had to sit quietly for a minuteOh Chele - your unique turn of phrase is one of my life's real pleasures!!!! i sat and howled with laughter when i read this!!!!!!! it lit up my entire week, this sentence!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! okay, then! hope your quiet moment helped, LMAO!!!
eish, slight problem with the formating on the above statement....sorry, folks!
"Don't waste time projecting what's next for someone else, when we can hardly do it for ourselves." This right here.
Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers all day.
but they are artists, something tragic just has to happen lol
1) because we are conditioned not to.
2) Some things asome people excel in are simply not conducive or productive in our society.
3) Opportunity and economicsWe make the barriers to exploring our genius so high. How many Michael Jordans are their knocking about in the hood?. How many Oprah's?, Will Smiths and Denzel's, Nuruyev's, Darwin's, Einstein's e.t.c.?
You can show as much natural talent and creative genius as you want, but if you are not in the right environment or have the opportunity to focus or gain additional knowledge... then you SOL.
re: Malcolm Gladwell's outliers
Bill Gates wasn't just some computer whizz kid who dropped out of school. His parents were millionaires who helped sponsor a computer club at his school, when companies were still using mainframes.
Now how much of that access does Tyrone or Jason from the hood have to that kinda of genii grooming.
Exceptional ability - yes
rare - I disagree (respectfully)
IMO genius is nurtured into existence, we all have the ability but lack the opportunity.
Does her official statement change anything? :
Hi-five CaliGirlED!
I agree with your 3), to the point of me almost coming to cyber blows with this e-ruffian the other day!
Nurturing, opportunity, economics, who you know, luck (if you will) definitely play a part in the recognition and public display of genius, but has nothing to do with whether or not you have it.
The album still goes hard. That's all I got.
Loved the CD.
She's been interesting.
I have never understood why women give their new born children last names of a man that they know is not the father---I am all for doing so if that man has taken on the child, but this does not seem to be the case.
She now has six kids and is probably not giving a damn about anyone's opinion now.
"Respect is just a minimum!" is still my line!
"slinging life seed"? Pure genius! I agree. Let her be. Her life. Her kids.
we have a philosophical disagreement. :)
I wonder, how do you explain or see genius? some people think its genetic...
I think Malcolm Gladwell's 'Outlier's: The story of success' explains a little of my thinking. This would make a fab discussion over tea
"How you gonna win if you ain't right within?"
About to make some tea right now, for my allergies though, they are kicking my butt! LOL
"How you gon' win when you ain't right within?"
"I wish her well but I feel more for her kids and she and Rohan need a
big cup of sit your hindparts down. This isn't back in the day where
daddy can have kids in different villages and every one knows but
doesn't talk about it. In the age of TMZ/FB/Twitter etc they BOTH need
to be mindful of the fact that their kids are old enough to be affected
by their actions and behave accordingly."
I'd like to deliver this message to Fantasia, too. Once you're a parent, the blow back from your screw-ups don't affect you alone. *sigh* My thoughts are with the children of all parties. :(
I loved the MisEducation album, since it's a part of my long and decorated high school soundtrack (and I don't care if I just dated myself). But watching the fallout between then and now makes me realize even more that fame is often not what it's cut out to be at all. Sounds like you have to make one too many concessions where you either lose your soul, or go stark-raving nuts.
I don't mean to interject here, but maybe what CaliGirlED was thinking is that genius and success are two different things and having the former does not guarantee the latter. A corporate analogy...Xerox invented Windows, the mouse, and the laser printer...they couldn't find success with a flashlight. They were the poster child for corporate genius. There are many human equivalents.
Regarding chaos, the reason many, once great, companies fail is that innovation needs a disruptive environment. The beaurocracy and layers of management of large corporations are at odds with this, and sometimes have corporate processes designed to kill it.
We can already simulate simple human thought with neural networks. There is also a ton of stuff being learned in neuroscience about how the brain works. I define genius as big, like Einstein and time and space, and I don't think that ability exists in everyone, regardless of nurturing or opportunity. I think some brains are wired differently. If you don't, how do you explain neuro phenomena like savants?
Apples and Oranges
Genius and success = 2 diff things?. Yeah, of course, they are also not dependent on each other. You still have to apply genius to some endeavour which we 'society' have placed a certain value on to be regarded as success.
Your definition leans heavily on science which excludes Lauryn Hill
Has anyone thought that perhaps the reason Lauryn is having so many children out of wedlock is because she doesn't believe in it? Maybe , just maybe, she's not a victim in this and she's living her life the way she see fit? Clearly, she isn't Christian/Marriage oriented. Why is everyone trippin like she don't know up from down?

CHATEAUGAY Police searching a residence for evidence pointing to the whereabouts of a man missing for months discovered human remains buried on the property, state police disclosed Thursday. Although the remains have yet to be positively identified, the find officially shifted the search for Dale S. Jarvis Sr. from a missing person case to a homicide investigation, according to state police.
The nature of this investigation and the method that the body has been placed behind the house has led us to determine that we are going to be conducting this ... as a homicide investigation, state police Troop B Commander Maj. Richard C. Smith Jr. said at the scene Thursday.
Law enforcement has been looking for Mr. Jarvis for about three weeks, Maj. Smith said Wednesday. He said police developed information that he had not been seen or heard from since late February. Police acquired a warrant to search his 14 White St. home Tuesday for clues to his whereabouts.
Franklin County District Attorney Derek P. Champagne said the body had been removed and was en route to Albany for an autopsy tentatively scheduled for Saturday morning.
Maj. Smith said the investigation has not yet reached a point where police can name a suspect or suspects.
At this time, we cant rule anyone in or anyone out, he said.
Until the body is removed and forensically examined, we will not be able to determine the cause or manner of death, Maj. Smith said. Its not readily apparent so that will be a fact that remains for the coroner to determine over the coming days.
Maj. Smith added that identifying the remains could take up to a week, if investigators have the normal records they would use to do that.
The body was found buried behind the house in an area that a witness deposition revealed had been disturbed earlier in the year, according to Maj. Smith. He said the witness is not the confidential informant who he said Wednesday helped police develop information that Mr. Jarvis had been missing for some time.
Mr. Jarviss brother Allen said Dale Jarvis Jr. claimed he buried a mattress and box spring using a backhoe in the days after his father mysteriously disappeared.
The son claimed that on a night in late February, a group of men came to the house and his father went outside to talk to them, according to Allen Jarvis. He said the son claimed his father came back inside, gave him his keys and cellphone and left, saying he was going south.
Dale Jarvis Sr.s father, Maynard, said it was normal for his son to disappear with no word for long periods, sometimes up to a year. He said he has not spoken to his son in several years. He said his son became angry when he reported him missing after he vanished for a significant period of time while living in the Plattsburgh area.
Dale Jarvis Jr. was unavailable for comment, as he is incarcerated in the Franklin County jail, Malone, on a felony first-degree criminal contempt charge stemming from a Tuesday night domestic incident.
Maj. Smith praised the work of troopers, BCI investigators and the Troop B Forensic Investigation Unit, saying that their tedious and meticulous work in the hot and humid weather goes above and beyond ordinary police work.

Friends, Charlestonians, countrymen, lend me your beers;
Smuttynose Brewing Co. has long been one of our all around favorite brewers and following a terrific, recent visit from Vice President Kevin Love (hopefully you made it to the meet & greet last weekend), we've decided to pay tribute to some of the best people and beers in the business. Hailing from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, we have a truly ridiculous trio of Smuttynose rarities on the block this week and you can bet that each one of these Smutt-tastic masterpieces can only be found at The Charleston Beer Exchange! Check this out:
Rare Beer Tuesday (10/5)
You know how we do it every Tuesday at 5pm: we tap an super-extra-special keg for growler fills! This week we'll be unleashing vintage 2004 Smuttynose Barleywine! You read that right, this vintage keg is almost 7 years old (kegged on 1/27/04), matured in perfect conditions for a truly unique experience! At 10% ABV and boasting a huge malty profile, this beer was meant for aging. The beer currently scores a nearly perfect 97 points on Ratebeer.com and we can only imagine the wonder some time has done for it!
Rare Bomber Thursday (10/7)
Our next leg of the Smuttynose insanity will kick off at 5pm Thursday when release 22oz counter-pressure filled bomber style "growlers" of Smuttynose Short Batch #10 Belgian Stout! The Smuttynose Short Batch Series is a tiny production, draft only series of one-off experimental beers. The brewery uses this series to try new things and have fun! This one is an 8.3% ABV Belgian-style stout that is as impressively delicious as it is scarce. Don't miss out!
Click here for a reminder of how Rare Bomber Thursday works.
Cask Ale Saturday (10/9)
To round out this Smutt-tacular week, we'll be gravity tapping a cask (firkin) of a special edition Smuttynose Big A IPA on Saturday at 2pm! This real cask ale version of the always sublime Big A was specially dry-hopped with Simcoe, Santium,Centennial and Cascade hops along with a nice addition of French Oak! This is the same dry-hopping blend that led this beer to take home the award for Best American Beer at the Great British Beer Festival! Plan to be here promptly if you don't want to miss this!
Remember, unlike our regular growler fills, real cask ale is highly perishable and must be consumed the same day so plan accordingly. It is beer in its purest form, free of force carbonation and filtering allowing for a unique experience in texture, taste and aroma.
Glass Onion Sustainable Seafood Dinner with COAST Brewery (10/12)
Tuesday, October 12th, The Glass Onion will host a Sustainable Seafood Initiative dinner with COAST Brewery. David Merritt and Jaime Tenny, brewer and owners of COAST, will be on hand to discuss their beers paired with a four course seafood menu. Sure to be a wonderful evening! Visit http://www.ilovetheglassonion.com for menu and additional information or call (843) 225-1717 to make your reservations!
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for real time updates, keg tappings and all the CBX news that's fit to brew!
Don't forget, you can always see what on tap for growlers live on our website by visiting TheCharlestonBeerExchange.com and clicking the "News/Growlers" tab.

Place and route for advanced node designs
The Olympus-SoC™ physical implementation platform meets the challenges of manufacturability and low-power for IC designs at advanced nodes. Olympus-SoC delivers high quality layouts, fast turnaround, and rapid closure.
Olympus-SoC Solutions
Manufacturing Closure
Olympus-SoC enables manufacturing closure by addressing lithographic distortions seen at nanometer nodes. These distortions degrade performance and signal integrity, and lead to manufacturing faults such as bridging, pinching and via failures resulting in lower yield and reliability.
In the past, these distortions could be corrected during mask preparation. Today, post-layout modifications are no longer sufficient and all foundries require designers to perform DFM checks.
The Olympus-SoC lithography-driven router addresses the complex lithograhy effects during place and route with integrated critical area analysis (CAA), CMP, and OPC models. Because the router is DFM-aware, it produces an inherently litho-friendly layout with MCMM optimization and high-quality routing, ensuring robust, full-process-window manufacturability.
Olympus-SoC directly accesses all Calibre signoff engines through the Calibre InRoute interactive design and manufacturing closure tool, ensuring that all manufacturability issues are addressed without introducing new issues, or degrading design performance.
Olympus-SoC with Calibre InRoute offers:
- Automated, intelligent prevention of DRC/DFM issues
- True signoff analysis
- Automatic fixing of DRC and DFM violations during physical design
Ultra-low Power
Olympus-SoC comprehensively handles the requirements of low-power design. It ensures optimization of the overall solution without excessive iterations, enabling engineers to rapidly deliver fully-optimized, power-efficient designs.
With a true MCMM capability, Olympus-SoC provides seamless concurrent optimization for both power and timing, covering all operating modes and process corners through all stages of the flow. It fully supports the Unified Power Format (UPF) from netlist-to-GDSII, and can describe design intent through power state definition tables. It also supposed dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to handle varying supply voltages and clock frequencies.
To reduce dynamic power, Olympus-SoC provides automatic power-aware clock tree synthesis (CTS) with smart clock gate placement, slew shaping, register clumping and concurrent MCMM optimization, ensuring a balanced clock tree with the minimum number of clock buffers.
Olympus-SoC completely automates multi-supply voltage design flows with automatic power grid routing for multiple voltage supplies, and manages auto placement and routing of special cells such as level shifters, isolation cells, and MTCMOS switches. Olympus-SoC also provides:
- Concurrent multi-Vt optimization
- Power gating
- Retention flop synthesis
- Support for gas station methodology
- Power-aware buffering and sizing
Productivity and Big Data
Olympus-SoC helps you achieve design closure on large complex designs in a fraction of the time required for existing design flows. With Olympus-SoC, you can speed design closure time by a factor of 2-3X, and reduce power by up to 30% over traditional tools.
Olympus-SoC can handle more than 100 million gate designs because it has the industry's highest-capacity, smallest-footprint, ultra-compact database. Its flexible architecture enables flat, hierarchical, or pseudo-flat flows with a dataflow, graph-driven macro placement engine.
Olympus-SoC also includes physical synthesis technology, which delivers highly optimized results for multimillion-gate flat designs in a single overnight run.
Sign-off quality timing, extraction, and delay calculation are native to the Olympus-SoC kernel. Fully-multithreaded analysis engines and a fully-parallelized timing and optimization engine reduce run times by efficiently using the latest platforms, providing a significant speedup.
Variability and Performance
Olympus-SoC helps you manage process variability at advanced nodes by taking into account multiple design modes, process corners, power states, and timing variations. Traditional techniques, like merging constraints over design modes or merging process corners, result in significant loss of accuracy, which impacts design yield, timing closure and time-to-market.
Olympus-SoC improves on traditional techniques for managing variability with native concurrently MCMM optimization across any number of modes, corners, and power states. The patented "virtual timing graph" architecture enables the database to handle any number of timing views of the design with minimal impact on runtimes and memory requirements.
Multi-CPU ECO routing is integrated with post-route optimization in Olympus-SoC to achieve rapid timing closure. Routing enhancements are done without affecting the overall timing performance or introducing OCV-related hold violations.
The unique routing technology of Olympus-SoC enables live interaction between route-based variability optimization and detailed routing to ensure that variability and routing engines are constantly in-sync with all changes made to the design. All engines are linked to the embedded variation-aware timing engine to achieve timing closure across all modes and corners during routing.
Features and Benefits
- Concurrent optimization for power and timing with the native multi-corner, multi-mode (MCMM) architecture
- Automated support for all low-power design techniques
- Reduced clock-related dynamic power through advanced MCMM clock tree synthesis
- DFM optimizations, including critical area analysis, litho, and planarity
- Native invocation of Calibre signoff engines through Calibre InRoute
- Excellent scaling on multicore and multi-CPU computing platforms
- Unmatched tool capacity of 100 million+ gates
- Full support for flat, hierarchical, and pseudo-flat flows
- Data-flow driven macro placement engine

'And the Mountains Echoed' Khaled Hosseini
It's been nearly 10 years since Hosseini's dark horse debut hit, The Kite Runner, was published. He returns with (in his own words), "a multi-generational-family story as well, this time revolving around brothers and sisters, and the ways in which they love, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for each other."
'Golden Boy' by Abigail Tarttelin
It's the story of the seemingly perfect Walker family—two successful parents and two handsome sons, Max and Daniel. But when Steve Walker launches a Parliament run, the family is pushed into the spotlight and a secret Max has been keeping is uncovered.
- 28 May 2013
'The Son' by Philipp Meyer
The Son is an epic story of power and dynasty in Texas over 150 years—and it's a modern classic.
- 4 June 2013
'Trans-Atlantic' by Colum McCann
This latest novel goes from 1849 to 1918 to 1998 and explores the relationship between America and Ireland, slavery and freedom and war and peace.
'Big Brother' by Lionel Shriver
Inspired in part by Shriver's own relationship with her brother, who died of complications from diabetes and obesity in 2010, this is an unflinching look at the toll of obesity on family relationships.
'Sparta' by Roxana Robinson
Robinson takes on the issue of soldiers returning to the home front. Conrad enlisted after college, served his time without major incident, and comes home to his girlfriend and family. But he is unable to ease back into everyday life—and his bitterness turns into anger that might have serious consequences.
- 11 June 2013
'The Engagements' by J. Courtney Sullivan
In her third novel, Sullivan looks at the idea of marriage and how it has changed—or not—over the decades, tying her story in to the 1940s De Beers ad campaign that made the diamond engagement ring a touchstone of American culture.
- 18 June 2013
'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' by Neil Gaiman
This new modern fable—which, at 192 pages, is more of a novella—tells the story of a man who returns to his native English village and suddenly realizes the cost of the horrible evil he fought as a child, with the help of Lettie Hempstock and her extraordinary mother and grandmother.

At issue in the lawsuits was how to value the oil and gas pipelines that cross the state, Longman stated in a news release.
Three pipeline companies, including ANR Pipeline, Southern Natural Gas and Tennessee Gas filed a spate of suits against the Louisiana Tax Commission and assessors challenging the method in which their property was valued for property tax purposes and claiming that they were being overcharged, Longman stated.
The tax bills were paid under protest and held in escrow until settlement, he stated.
Although 52 parishes were involved in the lawsuit, the amounts paid under protest in St. Mary Parish were among the highest in Louisiana, he stated.
Longman stated that Texas-based Kinder Morgan, which recently acquired the three pipeline companies, sought the settlement.
According to Longman, "after the purchase by Kinder Morgan the case took a turn in the right direction. Kinder Morgan expressed a strong desire to operate as a good corporate citizen and to bring these lawsuits to a mutually acceptable conclusion."
Longman also reported that Kinder Morgan "made the process of settling this so efficient that it has been truly remarkable that all the lengthy legal battles we endured was simply handled within days, not years; they deserve to be commended for their commitment and efforts," he stated.
Longman stated that St. Mary Parish Sheriff Mark Hebert has already distributed the funds held in escrow to the tax recipient bodies.
The settlement was reached in October, he stated.

I don't know much about they guy since I don't watch college football
I don't know much about they guy since I don't watch college football
You assume he's going to run the same offense in Philly. While I'm sure he'll try and keep the tempo up, his players will be dead by November if he tries to run 90+ offensive snaps in the NFL. It's easier to do that when you have a roster of 100 players instead of 53.
"...Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." R.W. Emerson
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first time
I never think about the last ~The Pogues
Thats what Ive been saying, the real threat is the speed they operate at, not really the speed of the team.
I would bet he tries exactly the same thing in the NFL. Could his team physically survive running so many snaps a game? That will be the real question.
Of course the natural way to kill a high paced offense is to force 3 and outs, then control the ball on offense.
Chip is dangerous because Fewell is our DC
He only came because they offered him more power and more money. He declined at first because he didn't think the system fit his style of play. He doesn't have any NFL background at all either, poor hire.
It was a bold move by the Eagles. I respect it. The Eagles can be a dangerous team and I think they all needed new coaching blood. I'd be wary of them next year.
if anyone thinks that Chip is going to force an offense on a team they don't know Chip Kelly, he is going to utilize his personal to the maximum potential, something that many other coaches and coordinators should do
Chip Kelly is brilliant, beyond his 'Offensive Schemes' his approach to the game, his approach to nutrition and workouts etc, his coaching in general, i don't believe he will force any scheme on an offense that doesn't have the potential personal to maximize that, he is highly intelligent when it comes to football

This is a photograph of an overturned car, near the 145th Street Bridge ramp at Lenox Avenue in Central Harlem on July 10, 1917.
The 145th Street Bridge, located in New York City, is a four-lane swing bridge that crosses the Harlem River, connecting 145th Street and Lenox Avenue in Manhattan with East 149th Street and River Avenue in the Bronx. It once carried northbound New York State Route 22 and New York State Route 100. Additionally, this bridge, for its proximity to the eponymous avenue, was once named the "Lenox Avenue Bridge," an original name that has fallen into disuse. The bridge is operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation.
Construction on the 145th Street Bridge began on April 19, 1901, and the $2.75 million bridge was opened to traffic on August 24, 1905. The designer was Alfred Pancoast Boller.
In an episode of The Jeffersons TV show (The Expectant Father), Lionel and George get drunk and go to paint Lionel's name on the bridge.
Right in front of the car to the right, someone is pulling up the cobble stones in the street (Eugene de Salignac/Courtesy NYC Municipal Archives).

when something is amazing an exciting Kisha to Karla.. Im now a chav
Karla.. I blame GG GG.... COO COO CA CHOO |
1. | Coo coo ca choo | ||
The phrase was first used in songs by artists such as The Beatles and shortly after by Simon & Garfunkel. This phrase has absolutley no definitive meaning given by dictionaries or artists such as John Lennon who first used it. The phrase has two other widely known spellings: goo goo g'joob and kukukachu. It is believed to be used in songs and in 60s and 70s slang as a phrase left to be freely interpreted by anyone based on the surrounding context it is used in. The freedom to betsow any meaning upon the phrase makes the word a statement about freedom of expression, which is a meaning in itself.
Another widely accepted variation of the meaning is a slang way to assure the state of things is entirely fine; an expression of reassuring goodness. Also used as a way to introduce an effect or say "hey whatdya know--". In "That '70s Show", Donna Pinciotti said coo coo ca choo as an end to a random string of rhymes while stoned. Coo coo ca choo was also used by Crush the turtle in "Finding Nemo". Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob. --The Beatles' "I Am The Walrus" Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids Coo coo ca choo Mrs Robinson --Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" Little dudes are just eggs, leave 'em on the beach to hatch, then coo-coo-ca-choo, they find their way back to the big 'ol blue. --Crush from "Finding Nemo" "Everything is all right." "No worries." "All is good." |
2. | coo coo ca choo | ||
coo coo ca choo mean's everything is alright okay and just go with the flow because you got scroll buttons like the day is long. man how ya feeling? coo coo ca choo good.
3. | Coo Coo ca choo | ||
The phrase uttered when a cougar bags her prey. Me (on the phone with a hot 40ish cougar)
"He's how old?!? Well, Coo coo ca choo, Mrs. Robinson, Coo Coo ca choo." |
4. | coo coo ca choo | ||
A term used often in the hippie era of the '60s, implying that everything is fine, or that there is no need to worry about anything. "Coo coo ca choo, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know." --Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" "I am the bugman, coo coo ca choo" --The Beales' "I Am the Walrus" |
5. | coo coo ca choo | ||
meaning that everything is fine or just dandy; or used in a situation to agree or to confirm something. B-Lo : Yo Mikey...I'll be over in a bit...yeah?
Mikey : That's coo coo ca choo! |

Wheels of Fortune
Should you find yourself in Belgium next Spring with a few hours to spare, you are well advised to drop in at the Tour of Flanders Museum in Oudenaarde. And whilst deeply engrossed in the Ronde-related vintage bikes, jerseys and ephemera, your attention may be interrupted by spotting a bloke who bears an uncanny resemblance to the great Freddy Maertens.
This is no doppelganger, but the Freddy Maertens; double World Champion, triple Green Jersey winner in the Tour and first across the line in a total of 16 Tour de France stages – eight of them in 1976. The best sprinter of his generation possesses a palmares longer than your arm: 222 professional victories as a professional, a record 54 of them coming in the one season.
All told, not the CV of a man you would expect to see working in a museum in Belgium. A series of ill-advised business ventures and a tenacious taxman swallowed what money Maertens had made during his glittering career. He estimates somewhere between eight and nine million Belgian Francs disappeared from his grasp by the time he retired from the peloton in 1982 – a small fortune.
But Maertens is not bitter. What happened, happened, he says. Nothing can change it now, so why get angry? He enjoys his work and is a fine host of a museum dedicated to one of the few races he never won (second in 1973 to Eric Leman was the closest Maertens got). You can even book a guided tour of the exhibition with Freddy himself as group guide: an honour indeed.
And while one of the all-time greats is showing you round, ponder this: As Mark Cavendish, with 15 Tour stages in the bag over three years, opens his account at the Vuelta, consider Maertens' Spanish achievements in 1977. Out of 19 stages that year, the Belgian crossed the line first 13 times. Not surprisingly, the points classification and overall also went his way.
If, as most sprinters concede, Cavendish is unbeatable on his day, what does that make Maertens?

The Ronde van Vlaanderen museum is well worth a visit at any time of year. We were there last month and were treated to not only Freddy behind the counter as I bought my Lion of Flanders flag, but also Leif Hoste hanging around outside about to head off on a training ride, and a fine temporary exhibition on the Lotto team which allowed us to marvel at the wonder of early 90's cyclists' hairstyles (yes, Bruyneel, I'm looking at you).
Buy a map of the RVV's cobbled climbs, plan a route over some no-nonsense scran at the museum's memorabilia-crammed brasserie, then head out to see some iconic 20% plus cobbled climbs. A grand day out.

Oudenaarde is the center of the cycling universe for me. The town, the Museum, the three RVV loops that start and come back to Oudenaarde is paradise.
Visit in the spring and get a taste of what it takes to be a Lion of Flanders!

One of my adult students made me wonder about this, because she says it's so relaxing to take time out and do something completely different. Well, yes, I can see her point, but I tend to procrastinate over practice myself and have to make myself get started on it. When I do, I work hard at it, and relaxing is definitely not how I would describe it. Then again, I'm a perfectionist, so I suppose I procrastinate because I know it won't be perfect, then do it and give myself a hard time because it isn't..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I wouldn't call it relaxing. Sometimes it is hard to get started even though it's something I've chosen to do.

I find practice helps me relax in the sense of decompressing and forgetting about the rest of the world. Because I am concentrated, and my practice sessions are usually quite intense, I can mentally isolate myself both from people around me and from problems inside my head.

It's relaxing in a simlar way to my cycle commute home was, at the end of the working day. It's a 'work is done, throw the switch, it's my own time now' activity. I can understand how it would be described as relaxing, when you make it part of your routine that divides the day. Only occasionally is it s chore - as in something I'd rather not do. Often it's something I find hard to get started, especially if my husband is in the house (yes, still, I don't know why...it went away for a while then came back). But rarely is it something I really really really would rather not do, like hoover (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's not that sort of chore, even trying to practise something really difficult it's still not someting I'd pick cleaning the cooker over! Just because it's something you are working at, with a specific aim and desire to improve, doesn't mean it can't be relaxing. |

I guess, I would say it is both for me.
I 'work' really really hard when I started practicing. I do so each day (Monday to Saturday) for 2 hours. When I am done, I am usually very sweaty because I pushed so hard work into it. And I am very precice. I work on some pieces for years until I am satisfied with the fingering, with the articulation, although I don't have them on my plate each day of those years. However, I really enjoy my practice and look forward to it. And I know I still look forward to it, when it is Sunday and I hardly can wait till my Monday practice time is there. It is a good day in the start. I always have a smile on my face after practice. And whatever else might come my way in work, in interaction with people, I always can rest on the fact that I have done something beautiful and satisfying and that I have already achieved something because with music practice, I see progress every couple of minutes. I guess, that is relaxing. Because it IS different then the remainder of the day or work or whatever. With such an inner attitude, it does not seem like work at all. So yes, I would call it relaxing, even though there is hard work involved. |

Both for me too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Practice for me is a total escape from the rest of life. I can't usually play for just 20 mins - it has to be a minimum of an hour and I have to make sure I won't be interrupted or have to stop for any reason (like hubby coming home for work and wanting to talk etc). I usually ignore the phone too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) If I can find that 'hour' then I lose myself completely and although I try to stick to the scales/studies/pieces routine sometimes I just play the things I love (like Bach (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ). I am a perfectionist so I'm very demanding about good tone and accuracy but I'm also not as hard on myself as I used to be which is good. Yesterday I did have almost an hour but I didn't have much energy so started another thing instead and the practice didn't happen. Yes, it was probably procrastinating so I should have forced myself because I do have an exam coming up!!! I'm not sure when I'll find my 'hour' today but hopefully after the shopping is done, the dogs are walked and today's art work is finished (hmm reverse that order!) Because I didn't practice yesterday I'll try very hard to fit it in! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Practice used to leave me intensely frustrated with my inadequacies and generally either angry or miserable which did make it a chore. Now I'm a lot more relaxed about it because I can actually play relatively well on occasions (albeit elementary stuff) now which is very rewarding. When I'm finished I'm usually very thoughtful and quiet because my brain has been working so hard in a good way. I have a familial essential tremor so my bow control can sometimes be very dodgy and so I do still sometimes feel frustrated but it's not something I 'beat myself up' over any more. Practice is MEANT to be fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/party1.gif) |

Relaxed concentration, like driving on an open road or reading a book. I feel refreshed afterwards like waking from a nap. It's a joy. If I find something hard or frustrating, I break it down into smaller and smaller chunks or tasks until it is easily manageable, and revise my expectation of what can be achieved in that sitting, so my practice never stresses me. But I am an amateur with no pressure to achieve anything except in my own time.

I would find practice relaxing if I could find somewhere to do it where I wouldn't be disturbed by external noise (living on an estate that is never going to happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) and I can't afford soundproofing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ).
If I'm not disturbed, it can be a wonderful release valve and especially now I've been given some guided practice to do, I can get into my practice routine and I really look forward to it. I just find I get very stressed about fitting it in when I either won't be bothering people or they won't be bothering me. |

Why do I put off starting my practice when I know full well that the time will fly past and then I'll think "why didn't I start this earlier" ? It's weird.

This will start of sounding off topic...it will get slightly more on topic, I promise.
I've relatively recently changed my working pattern, so I work at home three days a week. When this happened, I made a Great Plan, about fitting in cycle rides and practising and various other things. Every week, stuff gets in the way, and "the plan starts Monday". This morning I work up, and in theory first thing I would be going out for a bike ride. It's dark. While having breakfast I was thinking about the enormous amount of stuff I have to do. So maybe actually I'll not go out for a ride, I'll start work early, have a long lunchbreak, and either go out for a ride then (except I won't as I know it is forecast to be very hot) or get on with stuff on my enormous to do list. Except...well, I said to myself, what do I really honestly want to do? Go out on my bike. OK, let's go then. Came upstairs, switched computer on in passing, got dressed for cycling, stopped at computer on way out. Started frittering away time. Read this: Why do I put off starting my practice when I know full well that the time will fly past and then I'll think "why didn't I start this earlier" ? It's weird. And I remembered something I'd read elsewhere. A man said "The hard part isn't saying you're going to ride your bike more, the hard part isn't committing to get fit. The hard part is getting out there and throwing your leg over the saddle".Well, what could I do except get out there and throw my leg over the saddle? The good part being that I'd procrastinated enough for it to not be dark, and instead be a beautiful sunrise! Also, it gave me 55 minutes of thinking time. In some ways, going out on my bike, like practising, is a chore. It's something you know you ought to do. But you put off doing it, just like all chores. Is the hard part throwing your leg over the saddle? Is the hard part really playing that first note, mucking up that F# major scale yet again, having someone there who can hear you even if they are not listening? I'm not necessarily sure it is the hard part. I think the hard part sometimes is saying "yes, I've got a hundred things to do, but right now I'm going to take an hour that is purely and selfishly just for me". At the end of my bike ride, or practice session, I don't have a clean bathroom, I haven't re-stocked my mother's cat food cupboard, I haven't got that piece of work done or written that letter. But you know what? I feel a heck of a lot more relaxed about my enormous to do list than I did before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Some of the easiest ways to save energy are the most overlooked. Just by replacing incandescent lights with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL.) you can do your part in saving energy. CFL bulbs also last 10,000 hours as opposed to the relatively short life of an incandescent light bulb's 1,000-hour life. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are a little more expensive than traditional light bulbs, but over time they pay for themselves and continue to save you money. With an incandescent light bulb, only about 10%–15% of the electricity that the bulb consumes results in light—the rest is turned into heat. Turning the lights off will keep a room cooler, an extra benefit in the summer. With a CFL, for most areas of the United States, a general rule-of-thumb for when to turn off a fluorescent light is if you leave a room for more than 15 minutes. The CFL is so energy efficient that if you are leaving the room for a short period of time, it is more cost effective to keep the light on than to turn it off. If every person in the US replaced 5 of their incandescent light bulbs with CFL bulbs, it would save the same amount of green house gases being emitted by 100 million cars!
This can be accomplished by using dimmers and other lighting controls, and educating family members to turn off unneeded lights.
Lowering wattage, which involves replacing bulbs or entire fixtures with alternatives that provide the same amount or greater amounts of light with but with reduced electricity usage. Today, this can be accomplished most easily by replacing inefficient incandescent bulbs with incandescent/halogen bulbs or compact fluorescent bulbs.
Many appliances use electricity even when they're turned off. It's called a phantom load, or vampire electricity, and as much as 75% of the electricity used by home electronics and small appliances is used while they're turned off! The simple solution is to unplug small appliances and electronics when you aren't using them or plug them into a power strip and turn that off. Energy Star estimates that consumers can save between $60-$100 a year by unplugging appliances!
Turn off all lights and appliances when not in use (fans, humidifiers, A/C).
You can save 300 lbs of CO2 just by changing 3 frequently used incandescent bulbs with CFL's. On average, CFL's use 60% less energy than a regular bulb and last five times longer!

Energy audits evaluate your home and look for ways to improve energy efficiency. You can hire a professional, or in some areas your gas or electric utility will do the audit for you. Inspectors often use thermography and other technologies to evaluate hidden leaks and insulation problems.
Share, repair, and reuse items whenever possible to reduce purchasing if economical. Consider the cost of shipping the products too. Farther products mean higher shipping and higher pollution for transport.

I birdied this the first time I played it yesterday
Nice birdie! Did you throw straight at it or hyzer over the trees? (or another sneaky route?)
I hyzer over with a nuke my throw goes that way naturally so I just throw straight off the pad like throwing for the long placement and my disc end up in that area most of the time
