B. Dolan - Fallen House, Sunken City
Production: Alias
Lead Single: Bleed Your Customer
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 2 total votes )
If the legendary Kool Herc listened to B. Dolan's new album Fallen House, Sunken City, I doubt he'd recognize it as the music that he pioneered; and that's a good thing. Because its essential component is the taking of the old and creating of the new, of combining existing elements to create songs that simultaneously reach into the past and stretch into the future, more than any other music hip-hop is the music of the modern age; an age of experimentation, of new ideas that contain the power to either save us, or destroy us. …

DJBooth Album Review
(By the way, if this review reads a lot deeper and verbose than usual, it's because I've been listening to some mother**king B. Dolan for the last twelve hours straight. I guarantee things will be a little different for Battle of the Sexes.)
Even a fleeting glimpse at his bio should explain why B. Dolan makes the densely artistic music he does. His background goes far beyond hip-hop, with roots extending into the slam poetry and performance art circles, circles that lead him to hook up with the legendarily insane Sage Francis and Strange Famous Records. With one album already in the record books - Failure, a narrative driven album about a man trapped in a fallout shelter (ballin!) – for his sophomore effort Dolan has hooked up with indie beatsmith Alias to create Fallen House, Sunken City, an album that will likely be too left field for most listeners, but inspire intense devotion in the rest (see None Shall Pass, Deltron 3030, etc.). So the only real question is; which listener are you?
Dolan's not afraid to hit big issues head on, in fact he seems to live for it, a fearlessness that's on full display during the album's lead single Fifty Ways to Bleed Your Customer, a track that's exactly like its name sake 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, except instead of Paul Simon's searching acoustic guitar we get B. Dolan skewering an often inhumane capitalistic machine over a pounding, factory-driven beat from Alias: "If it ain't dead, how do you know it's empty?". So, you know, basically the same thing. While it'd be an oversimplification to call Fallen House an activist album, it is unapologetically political and aggressively thought provoking, most notably on tracks like the dopely infrastructured Earthmovers and the f**k Wall St. anthem Bail It Out Louder, a track that also contains a hilarious extended Walk It Out reference). In other words, Fallen House is not background music, not something to throw on during a cookout, it's music that must be actively listened to. Music to be listened to – imagine that.
Fallen House, Sunken City isn't all about the message, it's also a sonically adventurous album, and for that we have Alias to thank. In many ways this is as much Alias' album as it is Dolan's, so I'd be remiss if I didn't at least quickly delve into the production work on songs like Marvin. A track founded on an echoing piano line, Marvin is slowly but surely overlaid with haunting vocal samples, shaking percussion, subtle guitars and ghostly syths. True, Dolan's intense lyrical performance can't be overlooked, but it's Alias that truly makes Marvin the gripping track it is. It's a similar story on Kitchen Sink, a track that fittingly combines too many audio elements to name here, and Border Crossing, an epic cut that transforms a marching band into a funeral procession for the living. Too often the producer is treated like a second-class citizen; well not on these pages my friends. Well done Alias, well done.
Some albums can be misleading, containing made-for-radio cuts that don't truly reflect the rest of the material. Fallen House, Sunken City is not that album. Listen to tracks like the slapping Fall of Troy or the slinking Hunter. If you're intrigued, if you feel strangely compelled to hear more, you'll love this album. And if it leaves you running for the hills, then there's really no need in looking back. Yes, it really is that simple. But no matter your personal preference, the sheer creative force of the album cannot be denied, cannot be ignored. B. Dolan's made sure of that.

Westfield Monogrammed Entry Mat 15 18
Doesn't wear well I loved this entry mat when we bought it. Now, after a few years, it's wearing out. This is surprising and disappointing, as we live in a temperate area and the mat is on a covered porch. The sisal has worn down so that the underlying pattern is showing through, and it looks trashy. I expected better of Frontgate. July 7, 2014
Hard to find Westfield Monogrammed Entry mats...perfect fit for double front and rear entry doors. They have been in place only one week and have had three inquiries about where I purchased them and comments about how great they look. June 15, 2014
Beautiful and well made I am very pleased with the quality and appearance of the door mat. It looks a lot more expensive that it cost. The rubber backing and edge makes it a durable product that should last for years. June 10, 2014
monogrammed door mat I could not be happier with my new monogramed doormat. It arrived within a day of the estimated delivery and the quality is excellent. It actually exceeded my expectations. It is a good value and I'm very happy. June 9, 2014
Great Doormat This doormat is sturdy, thick and absorbent. It has an attractive, simple, but sophisticated appearance. June 4, 2014
Great Door Mat I love this door mat. It looks beautiful, but the best part about it is that it doesn't shed nearly as much as the door mats without rubber backing. June 2, 2014
Mats Love the quality of the products I've received. For example, the mats are substantial, colorful, and appear to last for many years. April 2, 2014
Great Mat Been looking for awhile for new front door outside mat. Had a gift card from Frontgate and watched til I found the perfect mat. Came in a timely manner- perfect size!! Looks very nice! I am very definitely pleased with this. February 24, 2014

Some of the club covers had holes in them upon arrival, but otherwise I'm very please with these clubs. I'm no expert golfer so these suit me well. The coloring and decoration is very pretty too.
Very good clubs. I bought these for my wife as her first at and she loves them. Bag has just enough pink and she received several comments on the course about how the clubs and bag looked, as well as the quality.
I've only hit on practice range but they feel great. Can't wait to get out and play them!
Ordered on a Saturday and was delivered on Tuesday. Speed of delivery and condition of purchase was perfect. Made my girlfriend very happy to be able to get out on the course with me sooner than later. For a starter set, it cant be beat for the price. The bag is a little off balance when being carried, but a hand cart solved that slight inconvenience (like she was going to carry her bag in the first place!!)
Great set of pink golf clubs. I wanted some pink clubs, but not an obnoxious pink. These are perfect. Nice Wilson quality and I'm happy these are my starter set.

Having lost joint-venture partner General Motors Co. (GM) to bankruptcy protection earlier in the year, Toyota Motor Corp. (TMC) will cease production at its formerly dual-owned vehicle assembly plant in Fremont, Calif., by March 31.
The Fremont plant, which was Tokyo-based Toyota's first assembly plant in the United States, is also the first of the automaker's global facilities to close its doors.
The decision to halt production at the plant comes just two months after GM said it would withdraw from the partnership by August in an effort to shed domestic overcapacity and pull itself out of bankruptcy protection. The venture, known as New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (Nummi), had been in place for 25 years.
"After the decision by General Motors to withdraw from the Nummi joint venture, Toyota conducted a thorough review of its alternatives in light of current and anticipated market conditions. Based on this review, we have determined that over the mid- to long-term, it just would not be economically viable to continue the production contract with Nummi," Atsushi Niimi, Toyota's executive vice president, said in a statement.

Is This Utility Company able to turn it around?
Lior is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) hasn't performed well during 2012: shares of the company plummeted by nearly 29% year-to-end. Other leading utility companies such as FirstEnergy (NYSE: FE) and American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) also haven't done well last year. But Exelon, unlike other utility companies listed above, relies mostly on nuclear power to generate electricity. This could be one of the main factors that adversely affected the company's stock. Will this company be able to turn it around in 2013? One of the main factors that will determine this matter is the development in natural gas prices.
Before analyzing the performance of Exelon, it is worth noticing that the company generates 55% of its electricity by nuclear power, 28% by natural gas and only 3% by coal. In comparison, FirstEnergy generates 64% of its electricity via coal, 18% by nuclear and 6% by natural gas. American Electric Power generates 66% of its electricity by coal, 22% by natural gas and only 6% by nuclear.
The price of electricity is mostly based on the changes in natural gas prices; the price of nuclear input costs has a lesser effect on the price of electricity. Thus, it is assumed that as natural gas prices fall, the price of electricity follows. Because Exelon uses mostly nuclear power to generate electricity, as natural gas price falls its profit margin tends to shrink. In 2012, this was the case.
Profitability Is Falling
The operating profitability of Exelon fell in the first nine months of 2012 to 10%. In comparison, the company's operating profitability reached 24% in 2011 and 25% in the 2010. Moreover, the company's operating profitability was much lower in 2012 compared to other leading utility companies. The chart below shows the operating profitability of Exelon, FirstEnergy and American Electric Power between 2009 and 2012 (first nine months). As seen, the profitability of FirstEnergy and American Electric rose in 2012 compared to 2011.
The drop in Exelon's profitability may have crowded out the positive effect of the company's growth in revenues in recent quarters on the stock: during the third quarter of 2012 the company's revenues rose by 24% compared to the third quarter in 2011, while Exelon's operating profit tumbled by 49%. This may have been among the factors for the drop in the company's stock in 2012.
During last year, shares of Exelon tumbled down. The chart below shows the normalized prices of Exelon, S&P500 and FirstEnergy set to the beginning of 2012. As seen, the S&P500 index has outperformed both companies as it rose by 12%. FirstEnergy slipped on a yearly scale by nearly 2.5%.
Dividend Yield Is Rising
Due to the sharp drop in Exelon's stock, the company's dividend yield rose to a higher dividend yield than other major utilities companies. Exelon is paying a quarterly dividend of $0.52 per share, which comes to 7.02% annual yield; FirstEnergy is paying a quarterly dividend of $0.55 per share per quarter, which comes to a yearly yield of 5.23%; Duke Energy Corp (NYSE: DUK) paid in the recent quarter a dividend of $0.76 per share, which represents an annual yield of 4.73%; American Electric Power paid a $0.47 per share – a 4.3% annual yield.
U.S policymakers have decided to augment the taxes on dividend and capital gains from 15% to 20% for only households making more than $450k annually. Thus, for households making below this threshold will continue to pay a 15% rate on dividend and capital gains. This means, for many investors the high dividend yield the above-mentioned utility companies are offering is still favorable.
Electricity Prices
The main factor that could determine the direction of the company is the price of natural gas. During the year the price of natural gas rose by nearly 29%, but the average annual price was nearly 30% lower than the average rate in 2011. This drop in the price of natural gas contributed to the decline in the price of electricity. The chart below presents the average retail price of electricity during 2010-2012.
The chart shows the peak price in August 2012 was nearly 1.4% lower than the peak a year back.
Natural Gas in 2013
The price of natural gas was very low in 2012 compared to recent years. The average price of natural gas in 212 reached $2.83/mmbtu. In 2011, the price reached $4.02/mmbtu. The current natural gas storage levels are still higher than the 5-year average despite the recent cold front that hit the East Coast. It's still unclear what kind of winter the U.S will have in January and February. But if this winter will be warmer than normal – it currently seems to be the case – the price of natural gas will resume its downward trend. In such a case, natural gas prices will remain low in 2013 as they were in 2012.
Therefore, Exelon might not be able to turn it around in 2013. Moreover, if the price of natural gas will continue to fall, this could further cut Exelon's profit margin and thus lower its valuation over time.

A police investigation into $2,010 missing from the Gordon Lee High School safe resulted in one employee being arrested and later resigning.
Two other employees also left the school after being questioned by police, but school officials say their leaving is unrelated to the investigation.
The missing money -- part of it from a fundraiser in honor of a high school student killed in a car wreck -- sparked controversy in the small high school in downtown Chickamauga, Ga. At first, students were blamed, then allegations of other suspicious behavior came forward, a 26-page police report shows.
Reports of affairs, gambling and previous thefts were brought up, but most of the accusations were unsupported, said Chickamauga Police Chief Micheal Haney.
Secretary Lorrie Edwards was later charged with the theft, authorities said. She resigned after her arrest but has maintained her innocence, claiming she was falsely accused.
"She's being railroaded," said her attorney, David Cunningham.
Police interviewed more than a dozen school employees after Coach Brent Raby complained to Principal Clay Crowder on Nov. 16 that cash was missing from a bank deposit bag he had given Edwards to store in the safe. School officials then discovered that money was missing from other bank bags stored in the safe, the police report shows.
Only four people knew the safe combination, but there was a key hidden in Crowder's office. The principal said no one else knew about the key, the report states.
Janitor Billy Bell and technician Donald Owens were both questioned by police and "left" the school afterwards, according to Superintendent Melody Day. She said neither left because of the police investigation.
On Monday, Owens said he didn't resign, but declined to comment further. Bell didn't return calls seeking comment.
According to the police report, when police questioned Bell, he admitted that, six days after the $2,010 went missing, he paid off $2,000 in gambling debts to a school parent. Police were told Bell paid his debt in small bills, but Bell denied it, the report states.
Police didn't question him further after they discovered his keys didn't open the principal's office, Haney said.
Owens also was questioned after Crowder told police that the technician was found crouching inside the principal's office about 6 a.m. about a month ago. Owens told police he was checking on the principal's computer, but he ended the interview after he was asked to take a polygraph test, the report states.
Raby, the school's wrestling coach, told police he confronted Edwards early on Nov. 16 after she handed him a bank bag that felt thinner than it had when he had given it to her the night before. He later discovered that $1,200 was missing from the bag.
Edwards denied the confrontation, but when she failed a polygraph and was questioned over and over by police, she said she wasn't sure if Raby had asked her about the money, the report states.

Catholic and Orthodox Bishops Pray for LIFE
During this year's March for Life an unprecedented event took place. Catholic and Orthodox bishops bridged the Millennium wide riff between them and joined in prayer together in support of the pro-life event at the nation's capitol. Some might be tempted to over look this monumental step by the two oldest expressions of the Christian faith. That would be a mistake. Joint prayer between the two is a rare occurrence. The most notable time in recent history that Orthodox and Catholic bishops were seen praying together was the funeral service for pope John Paul the Great. Below is a video of the monumental joint prayer at this year's March for Life.
Many in the crowd for the March for life were very moved by the experience, but some seemed to not understand the magnitude of what was happening on the stage. As I sat there enthralled camera phone rolling I was disappointed to see a man walking threw the crowd shouting, "T-shirts for sale! $5 get your march for Life T-shirts!" while everyone was silently praying.
The March went on to feature the usual hour of senators and representatives sharing their enthusiasm and doing just a little bit of campaigning. However following the long speeches and a lot of standing around the crowd took to the streets marching through the National Mall it was a site to behold as you can see below
Clergy and politicians alike walked the streets of DC in support of human rights. However there was a bit of pushback by many local pro-life supporters who did not attend this years March for Life because the event was held midweek. Many professionals in the area were unable to leave work to attend the event. I spoke to a couple executives from local companies that wished the organizers of the March for Life would change the date of the event for next year.
There is a strong desire among many supporters for the event to be held during the Spring or Fall when weather conditions could attract a much larger crowd. The organizers chose the dead of winter for the March for Life to show the resolve of the pro-life movement, but a much stronger message could be sent by many more people attending. We will have to wait and see if the event is rescheduled next year. Until then let's all join the catholic and Orthodox bishops and work toward fostering greater unity so that we might stand strong together against the unjust killing of the pre-born.

The Irish scones are favorite in our family. The recipe came to me from a friend's mother who was in her 90s when she gave me the recipe. The scones are a great addition to family gatherings throughout the year, not just for St. Patrick's Day.
Bake them plain, with raisins, cran-raisins, chocolate chips and start your own family tradition!
New update clarifies amount of butter needed!
Irish Hooks & Yarn is the realization of a dream to hand-crochet items that will be special to the giver and the receiver of the item. My passion for crocheting began after my first daughter was born. My mother taught me the basics and before long I had mastered some of the fine points. It's wonderful to now be able to showcase my own designs on Craftsy!

Sigma has announced a trio of new lenses, including a 19mm F2.8 and 30mm F2.8 model designed for use with compact system cameras. The third of the new lenses is the APO Macro 180mm F2.8, a lens which is the world's first 180mm macro lens with 1:1 magnification ratio and maximum aperture of F2.8.
The 19mm F2.8 EX DN and 30mm F2.8 EX DN mark Sigma's first foray in to third party compact system camera optics. The lenses both benefit from Sigma's Super Multi-Layer Coating for reduced flare and ghosting, while a newly developed liner AF motor also features. The pair will be available in two fits - the Micro Four Thirds mount and Sony's E Mount.
Sigma's other new lens, the APO Macro 180mm F2.8 EX APO DG OS HSM, is the first lens of its kind. It features three 'F' Low Dispersion glass elements for correction of colour aberrations, Sigma's floating inner focus system and Super Multi-Layer coating for reduced flare and ghosting.
There's no news on pricing and availability as yet, so stay tuned to the Sigma website for more information.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKZO) -- The U.S. Treasury is reporting a 9.7-billion dollar loss on its 49.5-billion dollar bailout of General Motors. In a quarterly report presented to Congress on Tuesday, the Special Inspector General overseeing the 700-billion dollar Troubled Asset Relief Program bailout fund disclosed that the Treasury had a significant loss on its sale of most of its 60-percent stake in the automaker.
The Treasury has sold roughly 811-million shares of the 912-million shares it received as part of GM's 2009 bankruptcy restructuring. Officials say a complete exit from the automaker by the government could come within the next six-months.

Musings on the end of the storyPosted on August 23rd, 2009 – 9:11 AM
By Jim Williams
John Tierney wrote in a recent edition of "The New York Times" (science section) about climate change, and the fat chance we have of a sincere political solution. He is not optimistic. Me neither. There is no political will to bite hard on the issue. We beat around the edges of things, pasting impressive titles on weak efforts. Mr. Tierney suggests we consider moving ahead with engineered solutions — improving the reflectivity of clouds to bounce some of the sun's rays away from us, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere not by preventing its creation in the first place but by simply removing it. We're not close to any of this, but then we're not close to anything else meaningful either. If legislation was proposed that cramped our style in serious ways, well, look at the health-care "discussion." If you don't understand it or don't like it, lie, and if that isn't enough, lie loudly. Political philosophy is not necessarily pertinent to all issues. Neither is noise. Yes, I believe the world's climate is changing. Even if I didn't believe in change, the possibility is there. You can bet against that possibility, but if you lose the loss is enormous. If you bet on change, and support your wager with climate solutions, well, sure you could lose, all of that effort and money for naught. But the two possible losses are hugely different. We buy insurance for everything, protecting ourselves against unacceptable outcomes. Even the slightest possibility of climate change is acceptable? I won't live long enough to turn the page on the end of this story, or even get to its last chapter. I do like to know how things end. In this case, though, maybe not. (Right — I should go birding and cheer up.)

Health Day - ONLINE EDITION
Health Highlights: Oct. 18, 2013
Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
NIH Staffers, Researchers Return to Work After Government Shutdown
Nearly 14,000 employees of the U.S. National Institutes of Health returned to work Thursday, following a 16-day slowdown in vital research because of the federal government shutdown.
According to ABC News, the NIH retained only 5,000 of its essential staffers during the shutdown, deemed necessary "for the safety of human life or the protection of property," an NIH spokeswoman said.
The shutdown halted research on cancer and other serious illnesses, causing delays for prospective clinical trial patients and putting experiments on hold. All scientific meetings at the NIH had been delayed, as well as the grant review process that enables scientists to receive funding for their studies.
NIH facilities did retain electricity throughout the shutdown, so cell cultures, tissues and lab animals remained unaffected, ABC News said.
Air Pollution a Leading Cause of Cancer, UN Agency Says
The United Nation's World Health Organization (WHO) has classified air pollution as a prime cause of cancer worldwide, especially in the case of lung cancer.
The WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has now placed dirty air in the same category of carcinogens as tobacco smoke, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and plutonium, BBC News reported.
According to IARC, about 223,000 lung cancer deaths globally can be blamed on exposure to air pollution. The majority of these deaths are occurring in rapidly industrializing Asian nations such as China.

|Is Perl Still Relevant?
|Some objective, empirical evidence

Results of a job posting search on www.dice.com:

Some objective, empirical evidence
2005-07-14 09:40:24 Tim O'Reilly | [View]
Great points, Haywood. You're right that book sales and job postings may not be in step, and the fact that there's an increase in interest in other languages by book buyers is just one data point. We're actually trying to do some studies now on the relationship between job postings and book sales. This topic is very interesting to us as well, because, as you say, we make most of our money by selling books. But I want to be clear that we don't have any agenda here -- we're an equal opportunity promoter when it comes to technology.
I'll also note that there haven't been a lot of new perl books for a while -- and we just released two wonderful ones: Advanced Perl Programming by Simon Cozens, and Perl Best Practices, by Damian Conway. I'm very much hoping that those two books move the needle significantly, and we see a nice uptick in the Perl book trend line as a result!
Some objective, empirical evidence
2005-07-18 11:51:20 AdrienLamothe [View]
Well, a huge majority of people eat fast food, which doesn't make such food particularly nutritious. My experience is that most companies don't avail themselves of the best solutions, and that there is a time lag before a good tool achieves widespread use. I believe that most people purchase programming books for their jobs or to augment their skills to acquire a job.
I like both Perl and Python, but when faced with the choice of choosing which to use for a critical piece of an e-commerce site I had to go with Python because of the strong exception handling (breadth and syntactic ease.) Losing data was unacceptable, and too many things can go wrong over a network, which made comprehensive error-trapping necessary.
We need more decision-makers to read sites like this, so they understand the choices available and can make better informed decisions, rather than play it safe and follow the herd.

Corporate Angel Network will mark the 30th anniversary of its first flight on December 22. The charity, which arranges free transportation to treatment for cancer patients and their families using empty seats on corporate jets, typically assists 250 to 300 patients each month and to date has flown nearly 40,000. On Dec. 22,1981, Leonard Greene--founder of SafeFlight Instrument Corporation and CAN's cofounder--piloted the first CAN flight, which carried a 16-year-old boy from a New York treatment facility to his home in Detroit for Christmas.

""Many years ago, our company founder, Al Conklin, sold a new twin-engine business aircraft to a very successful entrepreneur.

'What is the cost of a divorce?'"–David Wyndham, president, Conklin & de Decker"

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I absolutely loved how my save the dates came out. Everyone who received them thought the magnet idea was also very creative and unique. When it came to customizing colors and editing designs, it was so easy and the staff are helpful. Every specific detail they can edit to your taste. For example, I felt there were too many swirls so they took as much as I wanted off. This came out just perfect. The quality was also worth every penny."
"We have received numerous compliments on our save-the-dates! Highly recommend this choice. Shipping was fast and convenient too."
"It was not difficult for us to find the exact save the date we wanted. Then the customization was a breeze. The only trouble we encountered was that when we were ready to pay, there was a glitch in the system and it appeared that the cc went through twice. Called customer service the next day and it only went through once and was fine! The save the dates came in a few days and were beautiful! Highly recommend this site/designer as both are great!"
"Delivered fast, color turned out perfect even after adding a filter to it, not fuzzy, the orange color is very bright and makes the card pop."
"This card was exactly what we were looking for! We already had a photo that included "save the date" in it, so we wanted a way to add the date and some additional text. My only very slight disappointment is that the font size was a bit smaller than I expected, so there is a bit more white space on the card than I would have wanted. But, this is super minor. Also, in response to reviews about the "shininess" of the card--it's definitely a matte finish--not like cards that are printed on photo paper and have that shiny picture look. The matte finish is much classier looking in my opinion. Also, the proof and delivery were very fast--comforting to this rushed bride!"

Introduction by Robert Reich
Commentary by R. H. Campbell and A. S. Skinner
Adam Smith's masterpiece, first published in 1776, is the foundation of modern economic thought and remains the single most important account of the rise of, and the principles behind, modern capitalism. Written in clear and incisive prose, The Wealth of Nations articulates the concepts indispensable to an understanding of contemporary society; and Robert Reich's Introduction both clarifies Smith's analyses and illuminates his overall relevance to the world in which we live. As Reich writes, "Smith's mind ranged over issues as fresh and topical today as they were in the late eighteenth century—jobs, wages, politics, government, trade, education, business, and ethics."
Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide
About the Author
Robert Reich is Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. His books include The Work of Nations, Reason, Supercapitalism, and Aftershock.
Praise for The Wealth of Nations…
"Adam Smith's enormous authority resides, in the end, in the same property that we discover in Marx: not in any ideology, but in an effort to see to the bottom of things."
--Robert L. Heilbroner

Once upon a time, a bride didn't have much worry (or much choice) about where her wedding took place: weddings were held in the bride's family's house of worship. It was a familiar place, where the bride had whiled away the duller portions of sermons since childhood by mentally decorating the place for her Big Day. The bride would have known since the age of six exactly where she wanted the floral arrangements and that the church's own stock candelabra just wouldn't do.
Times change. Even faithful churchgoers feel comfortable taking their wedding ceremony outside church walls these days. So relax – the tangerine color scheme you've always dreamed of doesn't have to clash with your church's maroon carpet!
Previous generations had just three basic options for wedding sites – a church, a hotel or a civic office like a judge's chambers or a Justice of the Peace's office. Those options still abound, of course, but have been expanded to a much wider universe of choices – including the Great Outdoors.
In Savannah, we've got plenty of the great outdoors, and the city is willing to roll out the green carpet for bridal parties. An average year sees as many as 300 weddings in the City of Savannah's historic squares, and this year, the bookings have set a pace that may come closer to 400 before 2009 draws to a close.
A mere $175 gets you the square you reserve for three hours (one to set up, one for the service, and one to dismantle), said Pearson Deloach, who has been with the city's Leisure Services Department for the past 40 years. If you're from out of town (and lots of brides are) expect to pay an additional $100. The only catch is when several brides want the same park on the same day. When that happens, it's usually over Forsyth Park, the biggest and arguably the prettiest of Savannah's historic outdoor spaces. The first week of both May and June are particularly popular, and there have been cases where folks have had to draw numbers for their chosen spot and time.
There's plenty of options with all the squares Gen. James Oglethorpe set up for us— probably more public, tree-canopied "outdoor cathedrals" than anyplace in the country (although we will concede to New York's Central Park on the grounds of acreage.)
Savannah's squares are surrounded with a thriving bed and breakfast industry, where most innkeepers have carved out some corner of the wedding industry. Take Presidents Quarters, for example, a B&B contained in two connected historic mansions, along with a courtyard and a gazebo.
"We do a ton of weddings," said Jane Sales, innkeeper there. " What we do are elopement packages and we do as many as two or three a week. We do a lot of second marriages, a lot of military from Hunter (Army Airfield in Savannah) and Fort Stewart (in nearby Hinesville). They work well for young people who don't want to spend a lot of money."
The point here is not to tout the wedding virtues of Savannah's squares – that's just not practical unless you live here (in which case you know this stuff already) or if you are planning a "destination" wedding (in which case we welcome you and your wedding budget with open arms). The point is to look at the public open spaces available around you. If where you live collects property taxes, it probably offers something in the way of a town square, a riverfront park, a public garden or landscaping around a bandstand. Maybe there isn't a tradition of renting these out for weddings in your area – but one advantage of a down economy is that everyone, governments included, is probably willing to think positively about a little additional revenue.
A whopping percentage of Americans live within striking distance of a beach, even if it is a manufactured beach on a lakeshore. Why squander the opportunity for a waterfront wedding? It makes for great wedding pictures – which, aside from the marriage itself and the bills, are about the most tangible long-term result of a wedding.
As an innkeeper at a bed and breakfast on Tybee Island just outside Savannah, Ann Last quickly learned what people want from an outdoor wedding. Her Romantic Weddings of Savannah firm sells wedding packages that capitalize on the interest in being outdoors and the desire for good wedding pictures. Her latest unexpected venue? The Tybee Light, the massive historic lighthouse that dominates the north end of the island. If your wedding party is small enough, say a dozen or less, you can even get married at the top of the lighthouse, provided everyone's got the breath to master the 178 spiraling steps. It makes for a perfect spot to toss the bridal bouquet.
Last is always on the lookout for additional special touches that are grounded in the wedding settings she uses. One day, out on the beach, she noticed a local man making elaborate sandcastles. "I found him out there, and he was just doing it for fun," she remembers, "so I hired him to do it for us for a fee. He makes big ones and little ones, and they last really well and they get in a lot of the pictures."
In Savannah, when Paula Deen married Michael Groover in 2004, the bride opted for the beautiful and intimate chapel at Bethesda Home for Boys. Brides in most cities in the country could find a similar site by thinking of the private schools and similar facilities in their area. Most have an ecumenical chapel, just as Bethesda does. And if at least one half of the happy couple works or practices at a hospital, most come with beautiful (if small) chapels. These chapels without specific denominational ties are well suited to couples of different faiths, or for those who want a religious atmosphere for their wedding but don't have a particular church home.
Thinking creatively about where to hold your wedding opens up a whole new world of choices in wedding planning. You can escape those worrisome covenants that link the place you want with a caterer you don't. More importantly, you can seek out and share with your guests some of the special aspects of the city or town you call home.

Early on I purchased your children's cookbook because of the detail and the emphasis on safety in the kitchen. The boys used it, but had not seen your show. In the fall of last year the 10 year old saw a show where you had a gingerbread house and a snowball cake and insisted he have a snowball cake for his birthday in December. They are now getting your cookbooks for their mom for holidays. They are 8 and 11 now.
I have two of them from several years ago.

Dear Paula,
I've been "checking you out" lately as I'm helping to prepare for my daughter Kylie's bridal shower on Aug. 8th. She requested a "Paula Deen" shower. The menu will feature some of our favorite recipes of yours; prizes will be "Paula's Picks"; and one of my crazy sisters is dressing up like you. She will make a grand entrance carrying your cake stand/reverse deviled egg tray with treats for the guests. Take care and God Bless!

Speaking of pound cake and weddings, here's an idea for wedding favors or gifts. We made little sour cream/cream cheese pound cakes in a jar for the favors for my son's wedding last year and everyone loved them. We used half-pint jars and baked the cakes right in them, then put the lid on and added a fabric circle and ribbon on top. One recipe makes 12. It was nice to give something that we made personally and they were economical, too.

I had your wedding pound cake for my wedding cake!! It was wonderful even a year later!

My littlest angel as I watch you sleep.
I hold back the tears as you count sheep.
So sweet in slumber I stroke your brow,
I wonder to myself what should I do now?
The doctor's orders the therapy and braces,
Just once I wish I could wipe the pity from their faces.
No seizures, no stiff muscles, no difficult speech.
I only wish it was within your reach.
But for now I pray for God's divine light,
For the strength you need to battle this fight.
In the darkness I can hide the tears,
The sorrow lay open, no one leers.
If I could go back and change your birth,
I'd make you whole for what it's worth.
I kiss your soft cheek before I go,
Whispering I love you, praying you'll always know.

Cancer treatments such as certain types of chemotherapy and radiation can pose a threat to fertility for both male and female AYAs with cancer. Although most young people will not be rendered infertile as a result of treatment, potential effects on fertility can be psychologically devastating, particularly if the effects are not acknowledged or addressed.
Indeed, the Science Task Force of the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance recently identified issues regarding future fertility for AYA cancer patients as a high-priority research question for this population.
In particular, the task force focused on "the communication that does or doesn't go on between health care providers, primarily oncologists, and patients about fertility risks of cancer therapy and the opportunities for fertility preservation," said task force member Dr. Brad Zebrack of the University of Michigan. Those conversations should occur early on so that AYA patients can make informed decisions, yet physicians often do not initiate them.
In the clinic, researchers are testing strategies for preserving fertility for patients undergoing cancer treatment. Results of a randomized clinical trial published July 20 in JAMA showed that premenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer who took the synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone drug triptorelin during chemotherapy had lower rates of chemotherapy-induced early menopause than those who did not take the drug.
Twelve months after completing chemotherapy, the rate of early menopause was 25.9 percent among the 133 women in the chemotherapy-alone group and 8.9 percent among the 148 women in the chemotherapy plus triptorelin group.
For more information on fertility risk and fertility preservation for patients undergoing cancer therapy, read "Preserving Fertility While Battling Cancer" and watch the video, Cancer Research Now: Fertility Issues for Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer.

April 05, 2013, 3:30 PM — Microsoft took off the gloves and took a big swing at Facebook today, calling the social network's new Home launcher an old idea.
Facebook Thursday unveiled Home, a home screen, along with family of apps all for Android smartphones.
Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg stressed during the unveiling that Home is not an operating system, it simply sits on top of Android so the first thing users see when they boot their phone is Facebook.
Zuckerberg described the home screen as "the soul" of a smartphone, and added that Facebook is looking to focus more on people than on apps.
"We're putting people first in your phone," he said.
That statement seems to have got under Microsoft's craw.
"I tuned into the coverage of the Facebook Home event yesterday and actually had to check my calendar a few times," said Microsoft spokeman Frank X. Shaw in a blog post. "Not to see if it was still April Fools Day, but to see if it was somehow still 2011. Because the content of the presentation was remarkably similar to the launch event we did for Windows Phone two years ago."
Shaw explained that when Microsoft started to design the Windows Phone OS, which was launched in 2011, its engineers began their work with the idea that people should be the focus. "Put people first," he said.
"People are more important than apps, so phones should be designed around you and the people you care about, not the apps you might use to reach them," Shaw said. "Millions of Windows Phone owners have already discovered how great a phone can be when it's designed this way."
Shaw also took a swipe at the Android mobile OS, calling it "complicated."
With the post, Microsoft was obviously trying to dim the glow of Facebook's Home announcement, and to capitalize on the buzz surrounding it.
Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with ZK Research, said Microsoft may be a bit jealous of the facebook move.
" Microsoft may have started with the idea, and may have tried to build a community around it [from scratch]," he said.
Meanwhile, he said that Facebook is working on the same theory, but is starting with "a community of 800 billion. The idea just doesn't work without a community."

DETROIT (AP) - A group of Detroit-area corporate leaders has launched an advertising campaign promoting a bright future for Detroit despite its bankruptcy filing.Detroit Free Press columnist Tom Walsh reports the campaign began Sunday with full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post and other publications. Ads are scheduled to run Tuesday and over the next week in other publications.Dan Loepp, CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, says the ads cost about $600,000. He says there has been "a lot of pent-up frustration" over media coverage following Detroit's municipal bankruptcy filing this summer. He says leaders "felt a need to say something" positive.In all, 28 corporate leaders are part of the effort.

City announces Blackhawks field renovations
Officials on Tuesday morning announced $2.5 million in renovations to 11th & Cecil B. Moore Avenue Field, home to the 2010 Pop Warner national football champions, the Blackhawks.
The grass football field will be replaced with new artificial turf. New field goal posts and a scoreboard will be installed, as well as new paving, fencing and landscaping. The baseball field in the Southeast corner of the lot will also be renovated, along with the restrooms and lockers rooms.
The fields will be shared between the Blackhawks and St. Joe's Prep High School.
The restoration is part of a partnership between the City of Philadelphia, St. Joseph's Prep, Philadelphia Local Initiatives Support Corporation and the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Through their hard work, the Blackhawks players, coaches, parents and community have earned the restoration of this field," Mayor Michael Nutter said.
