Last July, the pianist Fred Hersch kicked off his weeklong engagement at the Village Vanguard with an unexpected twist: he played solo, with no bass or drums behind him. That isn't common practice at the Vanguard, the no-muss temple of modern jazz; Mr. Hersch, like most pianists who play there, had been booked and billed with his trio.
But some last-minute setbacks -- Mr. Hersch's longtime bassist was stuck on the West Coast, and his substitute was similarly delayed -- had opened the door for a quick and graceful solution. So when it was time for the first set, Mr. Hersch took the stage alone.
Among those enthralled by his performance was Lorraine Gordon, who has run the Vanguard with brisk (some would say brusque) efficiency since the death of her husband, Max Gordon, the club's founder, in 1989. "I was in a mellow mood," Ms. Gordon said recently, "and it was very beautiful, and there was a very good feeling in the room. Those are things you don't forget."
Mr. Hersch didn't wait for the moment to fade. He played that evening's second set with a trio -- by then, a bassist had arrived -- and finished the week as planned. But he also planted a bug in Ms. Gordon's ear. His new solo piano album would be released in February; what about a bona fide solo booking?
The resulting engagement, Tuesday through March 5, will be the first time in the Vanguard's 71 years that a solo pianist is headlining a weeklong run. Not that anyone set out to make history, per se. "It was an accidental affair," Ms. Gordon said. "I wouldn't have told him to do solo if I hadn't heard him that night. But I think it'll be wonderful. I think he can carry it."Continue reading the main story
Certainly the odds are good. Solo piano playing is one of the things that Mr. Hersch does best, as he has demonstrated over half a dozen albums since the early 1990's. That track record -- and in particular, a five-year stretch on Nonesuch Records -- cemented his reputation as a pianist of rare harmonic insight and uncommonly fluid technique. Like Keith Jarrett, the only living jazz pianist more renowned for solo exhibitions, Mr. Hersch combines the rigors of classical training with the disciplined freedom of improvisation and explores a richly varied repertory comprising jazz standards, original compositions and American songbook staples. It's an overall approach that can also be detected in a pair of Mr. Hersch's former piano students: Brad Mehldau, who briefly came under his tutelage at the New School, and Ethan Iverson, who qualifies as a protégé.
To some extent, it was his overwhelming association with solo piano that prompted Mr. Hersch to diversify his output over the last several years. In 2002, he played a week at the Vanguard with Drew Gress on bass and Nasheet Waits on drums, and released a subsequent live album on Palmetto Records that reaffirmed his surefooted trio playing. His next release was a studio effort, "The Fred Hersch Trio + 2" (Palmetto), that added trumpet and tenor saxophone and placed emphasis on original compositions.
Around the same time, he made guest appearances on albums by the cosmopolitan singers Luciana Souza and Kate McGarry, and served as chief accompanist on "Haunted Heart" (Decca), a songbook foray by the soprano Renée Fleming. "He has opened doors between the classical and jazz worlds," Ms. Fleming recently said via e-mail, "and continues to collaborate with musicians from both. This is something I very much support as it helps us all -- in both disciplines -- to grow artistically."
Last year Mr. Hersch opened yet another door, appealing to literary sensibilities with his most overtly ambitious project to date, an hourlong song cycle based on Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass." The sprawl of the piece, involving an eight-piece ensemble and two singers, is a far cry from the intimacy of solo performance. But the themes advanced by Whitman -- his catalog of American visions, his sweeping embrace of humankind -- resonate deeply with Mr. Hersch as an artist. And on a personal level, so do Whitman's observations as a gay man contemplating life's evanescence; Mr. Hersch, one of a small handful of openly gay jazz musicians, has been living with H.I.V. for 20 years.
That fact can hardly be taken for granted; when Mr. Hersch turned 50 in October, he called it a "medical miracle." Characteristically, he also celebrated the occasion with music, publicly (a sold-out solo concert at Zankel Hall) and semiprivately (a parlor recital given by philanthropist friends in SoHo). Both events raised money for Classical Action, a nonprofit organization that enlists performing artists in the struggle against AIDS.
If Mr. Hersch's prolific productivity ever seemed like a race against time, it now more clearly suggests a natural pace. Buoyed by the success of "Leaves of Grass," which has become one of the best-selling titles in his catalog, Mr. Hersch has plunged into another large-scale cross-disciplinary work. "It's a song cycle for the stage with the poet Mary Jo Salter," he said recently by phone from the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, where he was finishing a five-week residency. "The working title is 'Hold Still!' It's a whole evening of about 18 songs loosely connected around the theme of photography."
Before that piece has its premiere next year at Montclair State University in New Jersey, Mr. Hersch will focus once again, intently, on solo piano. In addition to the Vanguard engagement, he has a long run of concert bookings this spring. It all comes on the heels of his seventh solo recording, "Fred Hersch in Amsterdam: Live at the Bimhuis," which was released on Palmetto this week.
"Live at the Bimhuis" offers a comprehensive portrait of Mr. Hersch's strengths as a pianist: the supple touch and clarion tone, the inquisitive sense of harmony and rhythm. It's almost certainly his finest documented solo performance; even stronger than his previous benchmark, a gorgeous 1999 concert recording called "Let Yourself Go: Live at Jordan Hall" (Nonesuch). Superior in almost all regards, the new album makes the case for Mr. Hersch as an artist at the pinnacle of his prowess.
Next week's Vanguard engagement should provide another opportunity for Mr. Hersch to make that case -- or a dozen opportunities, twice nightly for the duration of the gig. "I've been digging through old repertoire and old tunes of mine," Mr. Hersch said from New Hampshire, "trying to find things that are fresh to me, or that I haven't played in a long time. Because six nights in a row in a club is a bit different than playing the same program in six different cities. I want to keep it interesting for me, and I'm hoping that some people will maybe even come multiple nights. I imagine there will be some things that are consistent from night to night, but I really want to mix it up."
He'll need to mix it up, of course. "You have to make it very worthwhile for people to come to hear solo piano," Ms. Gordon mused, on the Vanguard's house phone. "That's not an easy gig, I don't think. But he's very serious; it's not something he's going to toss off. He's thinking deeply about it, because it means a lot to him. I'm sure it's going to be splendid."Continue reading the main story

This week we are wrapping up a series with our students on the life of David. You can't talk about the life of David without talking about his moral slip and rendezvous with another man's lady, Bathsheba.
David messed up. He wasn't where he was supposed to be and he slipped. It's so easy to judge David. It's so easy to peg him as a cheater, a murderer, someone who abused his power, someone who let his sin get the best of him. But then you read verse 13…..
2 Samuel 12:13 "Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord.""
David had to face the truth. And he did with courage and honesty.
God turned a broken marriage, a hurtful, sad slip into something beautiful.
I'm constantly reminded that God works through broken people and situations. He is a master of making broken work again, turning shattered into art, turning hurts into compassions. He is a master of dealing with our hearts.
When David owned up to his sin, without excuse, He switched his perspective from himself to looking at Jesus.
How many moment in my life have I hid my sin, ignored the pleas from friends to do better, and focused on myself instead of looking to Jesus.
David faced the truth. How powerful that could be in our lives.
I'm challenging myself to live life facing truth starting today. No more excuses, no more pretending attitudes are not an indication of deeper heart issues….just facing truth.

Remove all packing materials from inside the oven cavity. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the right cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE the Operation Manual. 2. Remove the feature sticker, if there is one, from the outside of the door. Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER. You will use the oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It's wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least one side of the oven. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation. Do not place or install the oven in any area where heat and steam are generated; for example, next to or above a conventional gas or electric range or above a conventional wall oven. Heat and steam may damage the electronics or the mechanical parts of the oven. Built-in Kit – Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall—not near or above a heat source—using Sharp's white Built-In Kit RK-40W24 for R-402JW, black RK-40K24 for R-402JK or R-403KK or stainless steel RK-40S24 for R-405KS. If your dealer does not stock the kit, it can be ordered directly from the Sharp Accessories and Supplies Center. Have your credit card number available and call toll-free: 1-800-237-4277 for ordering the kit to be sent to your address. The kit includes ducts, finish trim strips and easy-tofollow instructions for installation as well as the location of the power supply. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Electrical Requirements Permanent and Correct Installation The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more 3-Prong Plug protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle. A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions. 3-Prong Receptacle Ground A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in Receptacle Box or tripping over a longer cord. Extension Cord If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that Ground has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug Receptacle Box on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more. Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person. 2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures. Radio or TV Interference Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna. 5 402J 403K 405K manual_418.indd 5 16.03.2006 11:49:13 Uhr I N F O R M AT I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W ABOUT YOUR OVEN When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating. This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference. A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes. See pages 21 and 22 for ordering the Sharp Carousel Microwave Cookbook. Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked. NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers. ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy. Your oven is rated 1100 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly. ABOUT FOOD FOOD DO Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables • Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent "explosion". • Cook eggs in shells. • Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes. • Dry nuts or seeds in shells. Popcorn • Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven. • Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls. • Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special POPCORN pad. • Exceed maximum time on popcorn package. • Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving. • Heat disposable bottles. Baby food DON'T • Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. "Wrist" test before feeding. General • Reheat whole eggs. • Heat bottles with nipples on. • Heat baby food in original jars. • Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns. • Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers. • Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to avoid "eruption". • Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed. • Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers. • Deep fat fry. • Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers. 6 402J 403K 405K manual_418.indd 6 16.03.2006 11:49:14 Uhr INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking. The following coverings are ideal: • Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon. • Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating. Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating: • Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape. • glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®. • heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®) • Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking. • microwave-safe plastics • paper plates • microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain • Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape. • browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.) How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven: These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them: • Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly. • wood, straw, wicker DO NOT USE • • • • • • • • • Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the oven. metal pans and bakeware dishes with metallic trim non-heat-resistant glass non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs) recycled paper products brown paper bags food storage bags metal twist-ties Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions. ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used. Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used. ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room. Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot. The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool. Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything. At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door. Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 19 for Child Lock feature. 7 402J 403K 405K manual_418.indd 7 16.03.2006 11:49:14 Uhr INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING • Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish. • Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside. • Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite. • Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking. • Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly. • Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include: • Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly. - Food steams throughout, not just at edge. - Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch. • Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible. - Poultry thigh joints move easily. • Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.

Exterior Waveguide Cover The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner. The waveguide cover, located on the right side wall, is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover. Door Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Cleaners which are marked specifically for use with stainless steel may be used for stainless steel model. Follow package directions exactly. Avoid the use of any harsh cleaners or one not marked for stainless steel use as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface. Odor Removal Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth. Touch Control Panel Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR. Turntable/ Turntable Support The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and non abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately. Interior Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN. 20 402J 403K 405K manual_418.indd 20 16.03.2006 11:49:20 Uhr SERVICE CALL CHECK Please check the following before calling for service: Place one cup of water in a glass measuring cup in the oven and close the door securely.

The Success Margin
Thursday, April 12, 2007
The way you start your morning is by far the most
important part of the day.
In my view, most people start their day in a hurry.
They are engaged in a flurry of activity. The goal
is to get more done. But just the opposite occurs.
The result of the typical morning is lack of focused
energy. And enormous tension, stress and
frustration. This can take a severe toll on health,
relationships, and satisfaction with life.
The secret to achieving a completely opposite and
desirable result is this. Creating a period of
morning quiet time for yourself. And using it in
a certain way.
Today I'll share my techniques. The result on your
effectiveness will astonish you. You will be more
creative and less stressed all day. Plus, you will
become far more productive and successful. Best
of all, your level of happiness and contentment
with life will increase.
I know you are busy. So are most productive
people. Undoubtedly there are constant demands
on your time from your business, clients,
employees, suppliers, as well as from loved ones,
including children.
But a quiet time period of 30 minutes to an hour
in the morning is so important it will change
your life.
It may seem at first as though quiet time is wasted
time. But I promise you that your productivity will
vastly increase.
To free up the quiet time, you will have to make
some adjustments. You may need to go to sleep
one-half hour to an hour earlier or watch an hour
less T.V.
Many people, including friends and clients, are
amazed at my productivity level. They express
astonishment that I can get so much done and still
seem calm and relaxed.
For example, every single day I write several
thousand words of copy. I also answer numerous
e-mails, consult with clients, prepare seminar
material, interact with numerous partners, look
after a large investment portfolio. And I still
find time to play tennis and exercise.
(Frankly, I'm not particularly impressed with my
own daily accomplishments. I think everyone,
including myself, can be more productive by a
factor of at least 10. But by comparison with
other successful people, there is a huge
difference between us. I must admit this
significant gap in output prompted me to scribble
these words.)
My productivity level is largely a result of my
quiet time daily ritual.
** How do I spend my quiet time? **
This is my daily procedure:
1. I just cut off the phone and go to a quiet spot.
2. I meditate for 20 minutes.
The best way I've found to learn meditation is
-- Take a course in Transcendental Meditation
taught in most cities of the world.
-- Get Herb Benson's classic book,
The Relaxation Response.
Either way you learn meditation is equally
effective. Plus, you'll be delighted with other
benefits such as the measurable physical
differences resulting in lower heart rate and
lower blood pressure. There are other
psychological effects as well, including greater
ability to concentrate and focus. (Incidentally,
for your information, I wrote a book years ago
on meditation myself entitled Anthrocentric
Meditation but it has long been out of print.)
3. I keep a journal (unedited - just for my own
use) in which I answer two questions every day.
A. What am I feeling?
B. What do I want?
This helps me stay in touch with my emotional
side. (It is far too easy for me to separate
myself from my feelings and become completely
disowned, which is an all too common state--
especially for men--in which I spent many years.)
4. An attitude of gratitude. I list all the things
large and small in which I am blessed, for
which I have gratitude, and for which I thank
my higher power.
5. I play a CD of music which I love. It really
helps to start with a song in your mind and in
your heart.
6. I then identify, review and prioritize the
important tasks and challenges which are on my
mind. These usually include:
-- Marketing strategy for my companies or for
personal clients
-- Copy themes I've been considering
-- Offer ideas I'm thinking about
-- Business meetings and desired results
-- Important telephone calls
-- Important employee meeting or communication
-- Supplier contact
-- Client communication
Tip: Don't put any more than 7 items on your
"to do" list. It's unrealistic to list more as you
won't complete them anyway.
Tip: Make the toughest task on your list your
number one priority. And do it first. This is
crucial for you. Most people do the toughest
thing last. This wastes energy and time.
I find from experience that during the quiet time
the best ideas, answers, and solutions to
challenges arise from my subconscious as if by
Of course, your list of tasks may be similar to
mine or completely different. But I assure you,
the quiet time result in your life will
dramatically boost your success.
I'd be pleased to learn of your experience with
quiet time and what it has done for you.
Your correspondent,
Ted Nicholas

Matthew Powney: Man in court over murder of Willenhall Wetherspoons worker
A man has been charged with murdering Matthew Powney who died after being attacked outside the pub where he worked.
Mr Powney, aged 31, suffered serious head injuries when he was assaulted outside The Malthouse Wetherspoons, in Willenhall.
The victim, who had worked at the Wetherspoons in New Road for seven years, died in hospital following the assault.
He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after the attack just after midnight on Monday.
Shaun Addison, 27, of Furzebank Way, Willenhall, appeared at Walsall Magistrates' Court on Thursday morning charged with murder.
He was remanded into custody to appear before Wolverhampton Crown Court on July 16.
Meanwhile, more than £3,200 has already been raised in memory of Mr Powney.
By Thursday more than 130 people had donated to the JustGiving page set up "to ensure financial security for Matt's partner and daughter".
Dozens of floral tributes have been gathered inside the window of the pub by shocked colleagues and friends.
One read: "Was a pleasure to have known you!"
Numerous tributes have been left online for Mr Powney from heartbroken friends.
Rebecca Hooley wrote: "A truly special guy who will be missed by all who worked with him.
"Would always put others before himself. Cannot count the times you helped me out."
Sheila Anne added: "Matt was a lovely, polite, gentle guy and his life was cut tragically short.

TNT's Falling Skies kicked off its second season last week with a bit of a ratings slump from its first season and now this past Sunday the series dropped again in the Nielsens. The latest airing pulled a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.8 million total viewers. Now those are still not bad numbers for a Summer cable series, especially compared to the 0.7 rating that MTV's Teen Wolf is currently averaging and that Syfy's scripted shows (which will return in July) usually pull. But it does represent a series low and a bit of a concern for the show. The series did show a similar slide with the second episode of its first season and then trended up as that season progressed, so it has to hope that it will track a similar course this year. If it does not drop much lower, then it should still be safe, but if the downward trend continues, then the skies just may fall on this show by season end.
Winning this past Sunday night, once again, was HBO's True Blood which pulled a 2.6 rating in the 18-49 demo and close to 4.7 million total viewers. And on Monday night, MTV's Teen Wolf remained steady with its usual 0.7 rating.
A Summer series that slipped under the radar and that just came to my attention this past week is the Canadian-made supernatural drama Saving Hope which stars Stargate's Michael Shanks. The series debuted on June 7th and airs in the States on NBC in the 9 PM EST Thursday night timeslot. Its premiere episode pulled a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demo and just over 3 million total viewers and its most recent episode slipped to a 0.5 rating and 2.7 million viewers. Those might be good enough numbers to keep a series afloat on Syfy, but not on one of the broadcast networks. Of course NBC doesn't seem to have publicized the series too much, which couldn't have helped. I was actively searching for Summer genre series and didn't hear about it until two weeks after its premiere. It's a Canadian import, though, and it seems to have done well in its native country, so even if it does not continue to air further seasons on NBC, it could still carry on like 2009's The Listener has. I will keep an eye on this one going forward.
Another series I was having trouble find ratings info on was Disney XD's Tron: Uprising, and apparently that's because the show has barely registered in the ratings since its debut. According to Blastr.com, the series has a 0.0 rating in the 18-49 demo and 0.36 million viewers as of its episode two weeks ago. Definitely not numbers that can keep a series afloat on any of the cable or broadcast networks, so don't get too attached to this one.
You can see the Cancellation Alert status of all the shows currently airing plus the final results from prior seasons at my Cancellation Watch page.

text: Fueled by soft European economic performance, soaring oil prices, and uncertainty about its prospects as a currency, the euro has slumped to all-time lows. Initially viewed as an embarrassment to euro diehards, the exchange rate is now causing genuine concern, not only in Europe, but in U.S. markets. Source: Pacific Exchange Rate Service Source: NYMEX closing price for WTI, courtesey of Berry Petroleum Online Source: National Association of Realtors For a U.S. multinational company with significant exports, the problem is a simple one. With a weak euro, European consumers are less able to buy American goods. This puts a hit on corporate earnings. On the supply side, a volcanic U.S. economy and a richly valued dollar have put imports at record levels. This, coupled with shrinking demand in Europe, has led to record trade deficits. These deficits, and a falling demand for goods produced in the United States, could ultimately threaten the health of the seemingly unstoppable U.S. economy. And how does the price of crude oil factor into all of this? Prominently, very prominently indeed. Crude oil trades in U.S. dollars. Every time someone wants to buy oil, they convert local currency to dollars, and then buy oil. With the oil price more than doubling since its 1999 low, more than twice as much European currency needs to be converted to dollars before the oil is purchased. Compounding the effect in Europe (and affecting U.S. businesses as well) are the increased costs and lower productivity caused by rising oil costs. And today President Clinton directed the release of 30 million barrels of oil from the government's emergency stockpile. Could such a straightforward plan save the world from a woeful plunge into darkness? No - but it very well could garner a few votes from the gas-guzzling American public. In a different realm of government intervention, the European Central Bank and associated European governmental agencies have a woeful record at trying to woo currency markets into buying more euros. What was once seen as blundering, now has the appearance of a fundamental problem. Aside from Spain, most European economies have continued to show signs of weakness, and the euro is sitting near its all-time low. As any good contrarian knows, this is often the sign that a reversion to the mean is at hand. Japan had its run in the 1980s. The United States has been going strong through much of the 1990s. Surely Europe's time has come. Or maybe not. I'll go out on a limb and put on my prognosticator's cap. My feeling is that there are two major issues aside from the oil price and soft European economy that are holding the euro back. One is uncertainty about the whole euro project. The other is the upcoming presidential elections. Both events will pass into history in less than a year. Obviously the euro plan is unprecedented. It is an ambitious project to merge many of the world's most powerful currencies. But, come hell or high water, it will happen in early 2002, when the Germans are forced to trade in their marks, the French their francs, and the Italians their lira. Why, you ask, does the presidential election have to do with the euro? A lot, potentially. While Gore's oil dumping project is unlikely to significantly affect the European economy, a concerted effort to shore up the euro, backed by U.S. support, could. With the IMF already supporting efforts of major governments to buy large amounts of euros to prop up the exchange ratio, just the approval of the United States of such an endeavor could move the exchange rate up. If I was a betting man, which of course I am not aside from having money in a broadly diversified portfolio of equities, bonds, and real estate, I would say that I see a reversion to the mean (if there can be such a thing in the currency's short history) for the beleaguered euro. The combination of U.S. support for euro stability, coupled with a new influx of European retirement investment, and above all the Europeans just making it past the switch to the euro should see a resurgence on the Continent.

When I am spending my time looking into different hair styles or hair tips I have kept coming across this tip that promises hair curl using hair in plaits and a straightner. 'Perfect for summer and the beach' is the comment following this tip. I had some time tonight and thought I would try it.
What you need:
* Hair ties - one per plait (I used five as my hair is quite thick and long)
* Some curling spray or hairspray (especially if your hair does not curl easily, for those with curly hair a curling spray will help to reduce frizz)
* Hair straightner
Your hair can be newly washed or dirty, it won't really matter, but as with most hair styling, the less clean the hair, the longer the curl will hold.
How to do it:
* Comb your hair - finger comb for a less structured look, I used an actual comb for mine.
* Plait your hair- how many is up to you, take into consideration how thick or long your hair is. I chose five sections to break up the back section of my hair which is quite thick and to account for layers. Two or three would also work easily.
* Turn on your straightner, allow to heat and run the plait through the straightner tongs, I ran each plait through two-three times and then moved onto the next.
* You can do this from damp to dry, if this is the case once you have 'straightened' each plait go back and repeat the process one-three times.
* Take the hairbands off and unravel the plaits. Add a touch of spray if you need it and go!
* I was surprised, it definitely created a 'wave' to my hair. But it didn't so much curl, see the picture below but the result looked like I had curled my hair and then combed or brushed them apart OR I had used a crimper (does anyone remember those?)
* I wouldn't wear my whole hair like this, but it is a fun idea and something I will definitley use to incoporate through sections of my hair, for example small sections in a ponytail, under sections/layers of hair mixed with big curls or straight hair, or just at the ends.
* Very quick and easy, takes five- ten minutes tops!
* GREAT for dirty hair or to enhance a messy / bedhair style of do
Here is the result:

Let a Las Vegas Truck Accident Attorney from GGRM Protect Your Legal Rights
If you are involved in a traffic altercation with a big rig, it is worth your time to contact a Las Vegas truck accident attorney at Greenman, Goldberg, Raby and Martinez.
Truck accidents often leave a trail of destruction in their wake. An ordinary passenger vehicle is no match against the sheer size and weight of a semi-truck. In addition to massive property damage, passengers often suffer catastrophic injuries, permanent disability or even death.
Being involved in such a traumatic event is not only frightening but can have a long-term effect on your financial stability. You need a qualified truck accident lawyer to defend your rights and ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering.
Accident victims who attempt to negotiate with an insurance company without the help of a qualified attorney may be making a big mistake. Insurance companies will look for every way possible to mitigate damages on behalf of their client. Accepting a settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries may lead to a lifetime of medical bills and eventually leave you in financial ruin.

The Legislative Committee of Cooperating School Districts is sponsoring its annual breakfast meeting for area legislators, school board members and superintendents. This breakfast is 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 9, 2013, at the Marriott St. Louis West, 660 Maryville Centre Drive.
This year's program will feature small group discussions that will provide an opportunity for districts to network with their legislative representatives and to share insights and views on key education legislation. CSD hopes that every district will attend this major event. Tables will be grouped by legislators and the districts they represent. After the discussion period, a spokesperson from each table will report out and we will get reactions from a panel of legislators. Districts are encouraged to submit questions that they would like to have discussed in advance of the breakfast.
In order to make final arrangements for the breakfast, we must know the number of people who will attend the meeting so please register no later than March 5. Due to generous sponsorship by Stifel, Nicolaus and Tueth, Keeney, Cooper, Mohan, & Jackstadt, there is no cost for the breakfast. (The breakfast expense for legislators will be covered by the Legislative Committee). Board members and school administrators should register through their district's Superintendent's Office. For additional information or assistance, contact CSD's Karen Sisco at email@example.com or 314-692-1253.

Happy New Year, dear friends!
As many of my ladies out there know, the New Year also brings the birthday of my free, monthly, e-magazine for girls, "The King's Princess"! :D Happy fourth birthday "The King's Princess"! It doesn't seem real that four years ago when I was fifteen years old, God placed it in my heart to send out this magazine and I did. He has done incredible things on this journey and I wouldn't trade it for anything. ♥
And what better way to celebrate a birthday than to launch a brand NEW website?! (I mean, besides eating cake and ice cream, of course)
So that's just what I did! :)
My magazine now has a brand new website that you can visit at:
I'd love it if you'd visit and let me know what you think! The website has our story, our contact info, and bios for all of our special columnists! We also have a special page called "Weekly Princess Inspiration" where I post something new every Monday to inspire you on your walk to live like the princess that you truly are! My first post just went up, so don't forget to check that out too! :)
We also have a brand new Instagram: @thekingsprincessmagazine and a brand new Facebook page: @thekingsprincessmagazine, so be sure to check those out too if you get the chance :)
Thank you all so much for your support, it means the world to me! To God be the glory for what He has done and I can't wait to see what He does in 2017! ♥
Also, I'm sure you will be happy to know that one of my New Year goals was to write weekly here on my blog, so you should be seeing more frequent posts from me! Assuming I follow the goal, that is, haha! ;) I will do my best!
Happy New Year 2017, friends!
Make every moment amazing! ♥
