Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections and Freedom:
For serious readers, Franzen said, "a sense of permanence has always been part of the experience". "Everything else in your life is fluid, but here is this text that doesn't change," he continued. "Will there still be readers 50 years from now who feel that way? Who have that hunger for something permanent and unalterable? I don't have a crystal ball. But I do fear that it's going to be very hard to make the world work if there's no permanence like that. That kind of radical contingency is not compatible with a system of justice or responsible self-government."
The Serious Reader — much like the Serious Music Lover and the Cinephile — is dying.
It was Colonel Ebook, on the subway, with the Kindle.
One wonders if Franzen isn't lamenting so much the loss of the "serious reader" as the loss of the status quo: Readers who don't actually do much reading, but who save their money for those bestsellers (cough, Freedom, cough) which pique their interest two or three times a year, because a massive marketing campaign tells them it's time to open up their wallet and splurge on the next big thing.
That's the sort of "serious" market which will always favor the Jonathan Franzen's of the world. It's not particularly condusive to the breakout author, the self-published, the diamond in the rough, or, you know, the rebirth of an industry gasping for breath.
This is the point where I planned to make some sort of "why so serious" crack about Franzen's luddite-like views on the emerging ebook industry, but the more I think about it, the more obvious the answer becomes.
I guess I'll skip the rhetorical question.

Cutting the Red Tape For Small Business
by Karen Mills, SBA Administrator
- Created: December 19, 2012, 5:04 pm
- Updated: December 19, 2012, 5:04 pm
President Obama has made creating a more efficient government a top priority. As part of this effort, he has called on Federal agencies to streamline their rules and requirements through reducing paperwork burdens.
At the Small Business Administration, we've eliminated more than a hundred of pages of paperwork from our loan applications and simplified our programs, increasing access and opportunity for America's small businesses and entrepreneurs and saving them time.
For example, we created a simpler application process for our Small Loan Advantage program for loans under $350,000, called SLA 2.0. And as a result, we've seen a threefold increase in participating lenders and a more than 280 percent increase in the number of loans provided since its launch.
We've also reengineered our CAPLines Program, a product designed to help small businesses meet their short-term and cyclical working-capital needs. As a result, we streamlined the paperwork, allowed banks to use more of their own processes, and we are now seeing volumes up roughly 300 percent in dollars and 400 percent in loans.
And we've transformed our Office of Disaster Assistance and made it easier for those affected by a disaster to apply for a loan. The application for home loans is four pages and three pages for business loans. During Hurricane Katrina it took almost 77 days to get a disaster loan turned around. Today, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, more than 60 percent of the Sandy applications are coming in on-line and being turned around in just 14 to 18 days.
For high growth businesses and the funds who invest in them, we've reduced the processing times to license new Small Business Investment Company funds to just 5.4 months from about 15 months in 2009. This streamlining helped fuel our third consecutive record-breaking year in FY 2012. Investment funds licensed as SBICs provided more than $3 billion in growth capital to over 1,000 small businesses, a 17 percent increase from FY11 and an 83 percent increase from FY10—all at no cost to the taxpayer.
And we just released a new consolidated online learning platform, which includes a streamlined searchable catalog of courses to help meet more business owners where they are, whether it's a classroom, online, or at the office.
As we look to build on this progress in the coming months with ambitious new efforts to further streamline and simplify programs across the Agency, our goal will always remain to ensure small businesses have seamless interaction with the SBA and services across the Federal Government.
President Obama has said that when small businesses succeed, America succeeds. At the SBA, we're focused on doing all we can to help America's entrepreneurs get the access and opportunity they need to what they do best: grow their businesses and create good jobs.

red tape anyway? I believe we should be allowed more tax breaks and there
should be less paperwork to do in the initial stages of setting up, because
that way a lot more people would be willing to give it a go.

efficiently. SBA is moving in the right directions.

it is in everyone's best interest to be thorough, all that paperwork and
waiting can be very daunting. It definitely helps to give the little guy a
fighting chance to succeed.

are interesting to say the least, where is the list of these businesses? It
is my bet that none are actual "small" business and it is my bet that much of
it is not repaid, how many small business received 100,000 to 300,000 ? How
small are the business? What consists of a small business and what makes it
big business? I do not believe there is truth in lending nor do I see any
real lending to real small business.

not only bring more players in this field but also would make the existing
market more competitive and eliminate the lay back attitude of major players.

Small business owners employee over half of the working population. I
recently applied for a SB Loan and it seemed pretty streamlined. I'd suggest
everyone check out the learning portal Mrs Mills referenced.

Everything changes the day he meets Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). A shark in the water, Harvey is one of New York's top "closers" - lawyers who specialize in tricky clients with million dollar payouts. Harvey doesn't care about feelings and doesn't play well with others, but at the behest of his boss Jessica (Gina Torres), he finds himself in the market for a protege.
Fleeing from a drug deal gone wrong, Mike has no idea that he's stumbled into the interview room for Harvey's new associate. But Harvey knows talent when he sees it. Mike can rattle off statistics and quote legal precedent better than any judge, so Harvey hires him immediately as a new lawyer for the firm.
The catch?
Mike has never been to law school.
It's this secret that drives Suits, one of USA's newest summertime hits. Originally titled A Legal Mind, it began as a freelance pilot dropped on the desks of David Bartis and Gene Klein. It was then picked up by Universal Cable Productions and sculpted into a comedy-drama about life, law and lies.
You see, if the truth gets out, Mike could lose a lot more than just his job. And with suspicious supervisor Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) on his case, not to mention the beautiful paralegal Rachel (Meghan Markle) making demands of his heart, discovery seems almost inevitable. Only Harvey is on his side, and with all the bickering between them, it may not be enough.
Tune into USA to see more of this unlikely partnership both in and out of the courtroom. Suits airs on Thursdays at 10/9 Central and is currently in its second season.

The Old Town neighborhood of Chicago is one of the most charming and historic neighborhoods in Chicago. Here's my Vino con Vista Video of the Fall Festival 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awxq573tISM
The Old Town Triangle Historic District is located around North Avenue and Wells Street. It is packed with turn-of -the-century and Victorian era architecture. It is the home of restaurants and bars like Benchmark, Topo Gigio, O'Brien's, The Fireplace Inn and Kamehachi. The Fudge Pot has outstanding chocolates and taffy apples.
The neighborhood is also home to the famed The Second City improvisational comedy troupe that spawned Saturday Night Live. The Second City originated in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood. Second City became a source of cast members for Saturday Night Live. Alumni include John Belushi, John Candy, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Gilda Radner.
Many of the streets and alleys pre-date the Great Chicago Fire. My first residence, when I graduated from college, was in this neighborhood. It's still my favorite part of the city. The neighborhood is home to St. Michael's Church, where I was married. It was originally a Bavarian church and fortunately, this gorgeous church is one of seven churches in the city that survived the Chicago Fire. The Old Town Triangle Historic District is in the National Register of Historic Places.

Apple TV version 2.3.1 now available. Boxee users, I hope you turned off auto-updates?
Apple has pushed an Apple TV update tonight that brings the device's software to version 2.3.1. Unfortunately, the software update procedure on Apple's home theater device does not offer any list of what changes with each upgrade, so we are forced to just download and hunt around until we find improvements.
One change that has been noted by those who neglected to disable auto-updates when they installed Boxee, is that the update unceremoniously removes the third-party add-on. I can't say I'm surprised.
If any of you readers discovers any new and exciting additions to the Apple TV's abilities brought about by the application of this update, please tell us what you've found in the comments.

This post is inspired by some other blog entries I've read recently. Presley at haunting olivia shared some 'bad' art (which I think is actually pretty good), and Cassy at knit the hell out confessed about her piles of "UFOs" (unfinished objects). I love seeing people's work in an unpolished state, whether it's a work in progress, a quick sketch, or finished pieces that just didn't quite work out for one reason or another.
Seeing as this is *supposed* to be my art blog and I haven't had time to draw anything new recently, I figure I might as well share some of my own UFOs.
(Please forgive the not-so-great image quality; I don't have a scanner. The grey splodges you see on some of the pictures are shadows cast by a dirty window, not parts of the drawings.)
This first one was something I started a couple of years ago to hang up in Raven's room. My plan was to do a mixed-media drawing/collage. I was going to draw tree branches with cut-paper leaves, and some paper flowers down the bottom.
I quite like it, but it came out a bit stiff-looking. The rough preliminary sketch I did had more life & movement to it:
Still, I think it's nice and want to finish it.
This second sketch is based on a photo of Keith Richards' hands. I did it in…2003? after years of not drawing. I did it to see whether I could still draw. It wasn't intended to be used for anything, just a practice sketch.
In a similar vein, this next one is drawn from a photo of Iggy Pop (I love Iggy Pop!). Again, I wasn't planning on using it for anything, just an exercise. I had to stop because the level of detail was making my eyes freak out. I'll need new glasses before I attempt something like this again!
Back to drawings for children, recognise this? It's from Madeline, Raven's favourite book. Not much to say about this one. Again, it was supposed to go on Raven's bedroom wall.
And one last one for (and of) Raven. I did it when she was around 18 months old and at the peak of her cat obsession. It looks better in person – the light was terrible. I need to make the colour a bit more intense, but otherwise it's more or less finished.
So those are my unfinished pieces. Now I want to know, what do you have in your unfinished projects pile? (It doesn't have to be art, it can be anything!) And what's keeping you from finishing it?

Tabs Issue In IE6
Hi guys,
well I have been working on a website for a client for a while now and am very nearly finished, however I have been stopped dead by this little bug. I'm fairly sure its something pretty simple that I am overlooking but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is.
Basically these tabs appear above content items as a sort of quick access menu in Drupal 5. I have tried floating them, removing padding/margin, setting widths and setting them to inline display and no change except for a slight indent caused by the display: inline.
In IE 6 and 5.5 they look like this
But in all other browsers they appear correctly (safari, opera, firefox, chrome, IE 7, IE 8).
Any one got any ideas?
AlexOn floated objects like that, IE 6 definitely needs a width set. Have you tried making sure you have display at block, float left, and widths declared.

Give consumers all the vigor they need to get the day going with promotional gifts like the ceramic custom drinkware from USimprints. These promotional products are just what they need to fill themselves with the warm goodness only early morning coffee and other breakfast drinks can provide for heads barely able to stay upright and eyes barely able to remain open. Coffee drinkers and non-morning folk do not want to imagine those early morning pursuits without the liveliness their favorite morning beverages offer, putting you in the right frame of mind to successfully achieve more of the professional and personal pursuits in front of you with marketing campaigns revolving around positive feelings for all early risers. Enjoying a cup of coffee in these promotional products will put consumers on that particular track towards feeling better about their morning routines.

Where custom ceramic mugs were first forged is unclear yet they have come from uncertain beginnings to being mainstays in the consumer market today. Throughout history there have been variations of the objects used to hold beverages of all kinds and we see some of the offspring of those early mugs today. The Stone Age saw mugs carved from the material by which the time period was named, being such an accessible commodity. Germany celebrates the internationally known Oktoberfest festival with these promotional products made from thick glass usually having a custom logo from a brewery or restaurant, which makes them highly popular among tourists who travel to the country for the roughly two-week long celebration. Modern promotional ceramic mugs are made for coffee, tea, beer and any other drink people may want to pour into these promotional items.
The American version of personalized ceramic mugs has become so commonplace that those without custom images are generally overlooked. With custom logos or messages, these promotional products make great gifts for anyone from collectors to those who just enjoy sitting down and enjoying their favorite drink any time during the day. USimprints distributes these promotional items in a tribute to the medieval days were stone was so predominant and used for all types of supplies.

Custom ceramic mugs provide your associates with commodities they can keep for a lifetime, remembering who gave them more access to their favorite beverages. Give consumers the freshest concepts of traditional promotional products by designing your logo on the promotional ceramic drinkware your organization wants to implement in order to bring new business acquaintances into the friendly confines giving them the ability to hydrate themselves so they can continue their daily agendas.

Size: S
Comfy and does not hug too tightly. Submitted from TheUndies.com
Size: L
I liked the Elita S840 in theory as an everyday white bikini--but it runs really small. Back it goes. Stanifer from Los Angeles
Size: XL
Quality of garment was fine. I typically wear an extra large (8). Sizing was wrong or this runs small. Elita Response: Yes, this style runs a little small. Unfortunately this style only goes up to an XL so you wouldn't be able to go up a size. Also, this is a seamless group so it is meant to fit on the tight side. KELLY from SHREVEPORT, LA.
Size: M
Nice fit, smooth, s.oft feel, great panty Karen from Co
Size: XL
This panty runs small. Elita response: S840, this is a seamless garment. These are all knitted on a circular machine, so it will be more snug. All Seamless items are more tight fitting because of the closely knitted yarns. This is why they look invisible (hence seamless) under clothing. Lorianza from DBN HTS, MI

Once upon a time, there was a mockumentary made about the Punk band, the Sex Pistols. Filmed some 30 years ago, The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle parodied the cliches of the music industry by charting the creation, rise and breakup of the group.
Now, the leader of Cincinnati's police union has formed a similarly titled group on Facebook, called Citizens Against Streetcar Swindle (CASS).
When CityBeat profiled the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in May, just after the conservative organization held a private meeting in Cincinnati, some of its members downplayed conspiracy theories about the group and its love of secrecy.
Fueled by corporate donations, ALEC is credited with working quietly behind the scenes to draft legislation that can then be introduced by elected state lawmakers. Among its efforts, ALEC spearheaded the push in Ohio, Wisconsin and elsewhere to introduce bills that limited or abolished collective bargaining rights for public-sector labor unions.
The membership list that contains the names of the roughly 2,000 state legislators and about 300 private-sector supporters who belong to ALEC is kept confidential.
State Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Green Township), who sits on ALEC's board of directors, noted in the CityBeat article that the identity of its sponsors aren't kept secret. They include the American Petroleum Institute, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Coors and the National Rifle Association.
Now with the help of Aliya Rahman, an activist based at Miami University in Oxford who organized the Cincinnati protest, The Nation magazine has obtained more than 800 documents representing decades of ALEC's model legislation. The treasure trove of materials is featured in The Nation's Aug. 1-8 issue, which currently is on sale.
[UPDATE: Read more about Rahman's path to unearthing the documents here.]
In conjunction with the Center for Media and Democracy, The Nation asked policy experts to analyze this never-before-seen archive.
As The Nation's John Nichols writes, "Inspired by Milton Friedman's call for conservatives to 'develop alternatives to existing policies (and) keep them alive and available,' ALEC's model legislation reflects long-term goals: downsizing government, removing regulations on corporations and making it harder to hold the economically and politically powerful to account. Corporate donors retain veto power over the language, which is developed by the secretive task forces."
A full archive of the exposed ALEC legislation is available here.
Some local groups will be holding signs outside of Great American Ball Park today and Thursday while the Reds play, protesting Arizona's new immigration law and seeking signatures for a petition that asks Major League Baseball to move the 2011 All-Star Game from the state. The Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center, the Immigration Advocacy Movement and various religious and civic leaders are organizing the event and will distribute leaflets to passersby.
Also, some participants plan to disrupt today's game by unfurling two large banners stating "Not in Arizona, not in Ohio — Immigrant Rights Now — No S.B. 1070" and "Shame on Arizona, Don't Spread Hate." The action was planned after Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's announcement that he won't change the venue for next year's All-Star Game.
In following with Cincinnati tradition, I'll begin this story by telling you where I went to high school.
In April of 2001, I was senior at Lakota East High School in West Chester. I was deeply involved with the school's enthusiastic journalism program. Unlike many teen-agers, I did not suffer from indecision. I knew I wanted to be a photojournalist.
A new study has found high levels of arsenic in fruit juices that millions of kids are drinking because there's pictures of actual food on the label. Too bad government regulation is just a big waste of money that hurts the economy.
A full 10 percent of the juices tested by the magazine had arsenic levels higher than what is allowed in water by the Food and Drug Administration.
"What we're talking about here is not acute affects," Urvashi Rangan, director of safety and sustainability at Consumer Reports, told TODAY. "We're talking about chronic effects. We're talking about cancer risk. And so, the fact that 10 percent of our samples exceeded the drinking water standard underscores the need for a standard to be set in juices."
Consumer Reports tested 88 samples of apple and grape juices sold around the country. Included among those tested were popular juices like Minute Maid, Welch's and Tropicana.
CityBeat and a couple of local blogs weren't the only media outlets to notice the hostile and dangerous atmosphere swirling around the Cincinnati Tea Party event last month.
UPDATE: March organizers called to clarify that although Organizing for America and the AFL-CIO are helping publicize the event and distribute literature, they aren't official sponsors.
ORIGINAL ITEM: A march to support Democratic led efforts to reform the U.S. health care system is scheduled downtown on Oct. 18. The event is sponsored by Organizing for America, a group affiliated with President Barack Obama.

Thank you, Crazyhorse1, for providing yet another post with a positive outlook. Our defense was solid last year and I don't believe you address all of the different variables that come into play when evaluating a defense.
We ranked 6th in points allowed
We ranked 5th in first downs allowed
We ranked 7th in 3rd down percentage
Those are key stats that are hard to ignore CH1. The thing that killed us last year is the inability to force turnovers. Now what can we do better this year to become an impact defense? Pass Rush. Our secondary arguably played better than any other last year, but the opportunities for turnovers were scarce as the opposing QB had all day to throw. I don't believe any is hailing our defense from last year as a truly "great" defense, but they were solid nonetheless.
You are precisely right about the lack of turnovers last year killing us. We were sub par in regard to an element of defense in which a single play can mean a 14 flip, as well as an morale crushing shift in momentum. When our D's are good at it, we never tire of hailing it as the most important element of a defense. Most top teams in the NFL, year after year, are among league leaders in creating turnovers.
The Redskin D last year looked far better on paper than it actually was. For instance, it was fairly highly rated against the run and pass in re. to yards allowed primarily because other teams would get ahead of us, know we couldn't score, and just burn time with short yards runs the whole second half or fouth quarter. Even when teams moved unstoppably against us and destroyed our chance of winning, they were actually enhancing our D stats on paper in regard to average gain, total yards allowed, etc. If they had been forced out of their prolonged stalls, which was the D's job to do, they would have doubtless gained many more yards against us, but would have possibly opened a door for us to win. So, they played it safe and dull and just killed time by running the ball down our throats a few yards at a time-- saving our stats on paper but making us look and feel helpless.
We were, in fact, one of the weakest short yardage defenses in Redskin uniforms in recent years when the game was on the line. In several games we failed to stop sustained drives of straignt on vanilla plays in the clutch and eliminated the offense's chances of getting us back in game or hanging up a win. That, coupled with utter failure to create turnovers greatly assisted our offense to its collapse. That's why getting a stopper like Haynesworth became a multi-million dollar priority. That's also why a so-called top rated defense needed to spend its top pick on a guy who can potentually cause turnours, stop the run, stop the pass, and stop drives by picking up sacks.
In regard to points allowed, the stat looks better on paper than the field because all of the above.
As for our good-looking numbers in regard to allowing first downs-- obvious. Team that used short yardage tactics against us burned so much time in the process that first downs were relatively few per game. If the first downs achieved against us had been by the pass, there would have been many more first downs, but our chances for turnover would be improved and our chances at winning magnified. We have and had a good coverage defense.
First rule of defense: stop the run first. We didn't in the clutch and benefited on paper because statistical measurements of performances have inherent flaw. The FO knows that.
Those who call me an idiot for my view of the defense as a just average unit last year, might well reflect that my view is totally supported by actual FO personnel decisions, not contradicted by them.
Raise your hands-- all of you who were or are surprised that the Skins virtually ignored the offense in regard to additions and reinforcements while blowing their wad on defensive players for the coming season.
You, not me, are football idiots. You think with your feelers instead of feel with your thinkers. You grasp at feel good-myths and want to be developed by Zorn, who will love you. Why not change your avatars. Fios could go from a cup to a picture of Elton John with tears streaming down his big, pink sunglasses and singing Candle in the Wind.

The camera built into the new iPad shows more resolution than the old iPad (but who cares). 2. Comparing a high resolution image on You Tube showed no difference between the two iPads (as verified by 2 salespeople and one student). Finally three new review announcements appeared on the web today, they all say there is no difference in image resolution on the new ipad, only it has a better camera in. Do the comparison yourself before you buy.

From the Jan. 5 1956 News Record:
A grandfather clock that was believed by local owners to be more than 200 years old was definitely determined to be entering its 312th year since being made. When the pendulum in the clock recently wore a hole in the shaft and fell to the bottom of the case, the discovery of the clock's age was found by S.C. Steiner while attempting to make the repairs. Steiner related that in removing a wooden piece from the back of the clock, he found writing on both sides of it dating back to 1644. In clocks and violins it was a common practice in the old days to make records of dates of manufactures, sales and repairs, he said. A Joseph Krupp had apparently made the case and works, or perhaps just the case, in 1644. Another date of June 16, 1880, carried the name of Edward Gratz, Steiner's father-in-law, who had probably purchased the clock at that time. Still another date of 1900 carries a Philadelphia jeweler's name who repaired the antique. At the present time the clock is owned by Miss Mary F. Gratz, daughter of Edward Gratz. Steiner commented that the works are still good and with the pendulum wired back in place the timepiece is once more keeping good time. The works are propelled by the weight of two small hand pounded brass buckets on chains connected to the clock's mechanism. Pebbles in the buckets provide the correct amount of weight.
From the Jan. 7 1965 News Record:
Former resident of Gillette, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Landers, Sr., of Portland, Ore., have informed Mrs. Landers' brother, Arley Butcher of Gillette, of the tragic death of their daughter-in-law. Complete information is not available at this time, Butcher said, but apparently the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ray Landers Jr., of Portland died of self-inflicted knife wounds after having attacked her husband and three children in their home at about 3 a.m. Monday. The family of five were all hospitalized and treated for knife wounds. The mother died about on and one-half hours after arrival. The cause of her actions were not known. The father and children were believed recovering.

Union's varsity Spartans won a heart-stopper Friday night, defeating Trask on the road 65-63, with Damarius Davis scoring off an offensive rebound with two seconds left to get the victory.
The Samspon team took the early 13-6 first-quarter lead, but Trask would not go away, fighting back in the second quarter to close the half behind by only 28-26.
But Union worked hard to maintain their lead despite rallies by Trask in the third and fourth quarter.
"We were finally able to get some shots to fall tonight, and we needed everyone of them," said coach Tim Pope of his varsity Spartans.
"Desmond Faison was really big for us on the defensive end tonight. He guarded Rasheed Brown all night and made him earn each of the 25 points he scored. Rasheed is one of the better offensive players around and you have to work really hard or he will score 40 on you.
Pope also said Spartan Natrone Banks was big from the free throw line, going 7 for 9 down the stretch to keep Union with a little lead.
Banks led scoring Friday night, with 22 points; Davis had 10 and Brandon Lovett added 13.
The win moves the Spartan record to 7-6 overall and 4-1 in the conference.
Union's next game is against county rival Midway Thursday night during the "Red Out" game.

Tons of celebs and accompanying glitterati are in Cannes, France this week for the Cannes Film Festival, so it's only natural that they all spend some time schmoozing- and who better to bring it all together than Diddy?
Sean Combs hosted a party on his yacht at Cannes' port and anyone who was anyone was there to drink champagne and toast to the good life.
NEW MUSIC: Future, Diddy & Ludacris "Same Damn Time (Remix)"
The guests included Adrien Brody, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Michelle Rodriguez, Rita Ora, among many others.
Diddy dressed for the occasion, looking especially fly sporting a bow tie and tuxedo shirt. He was all over the place, posing with almost everyone and spending some time with Brody, no doubt dishing about their lives with drinks in hand.

I recently (early 2011) bought a Taj 6'0", after having ridden a friend's Taj 6'1". I noticed the model I got was the "new" model (i.e., no valve), but what I also noticed was that the board felt bigger than the 6'1". I have since compared it to an "old" Taj 6'0", and indeed despite the dimensions being the same, it appears the size distribution and/or volume is significantly different - you can see and more importantly feel the difference in the board. I'm not disappointed, however I probably would have ordered a smaller one had I known the volume was increased.
Anyway - my question is, has there been any changes to any of the other models? I've recently ridden an El Fuego 5'7" (old, with valve), and am contemplating buying one (new, without valve!) but am wondering if the volume would have changed too?
Any insight would be great,
