I read this news story about the DuPont heir being spared prison time after pleading guilty to raping both his son and daughter : http://fox4kc.com/2014/04/02/du-pont-heir-spared-prison-after-raping-3-year-old-daughter/
After reading this, I become furious that this man is spared a prison sentence and my father is suffering in prison as an elderly man for a white collar crime. I first read the story online on the fox news timeline on facebook and saw that it was featured on the O'Reilly Factor. I decided writing to Bill would be my best bet. I'm hoping and praying my message gets read and has some attention brought to it.

Subject: Regarding Du Pont case and sharing my own story
First of all, I want to say I've been a fan for years. I grew up watching your show with my father and because of that, it's one of the things that brought us common ground and enlightening conversations. I cherish those memories. "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" is one of my favorite books as well and after reading that, I became a bigger fan. I must admit I haven't watched your show in awhile but that's not because of you… I still keep up on the website and on social networking… But watching just makes me sad because it makes me think of my father and I can't watch the show with him anymore… at least not for awhile.
Last night I was online and read your covering on the Du Pont heir story and how he managed to avoid prison after admittingly raping his small children. Clearly our criminal justice system needs some work. I cried after I read this story for many reasons. First of all, those poor children and how they will never be the same. The suffering the family must endure knowing the pain those children have experienced. And knowing this guy will spend his "punishment" in the comfort of his mansion. This is horrifying.
I wanted to reach out to you and bring attention to a situation my family is experiencing… The reason I can't watch "Oreilly Factor" with my father is because he's currently serving a 5 year sentence in a federal prison for tax fraud. He was a tax preparer for many years and a handful of years back, he started running a "scam" under the nose of the family (we were completely unaware until he got caught). You can google more of the specifics if you type in "E****** S***** Taxes Orange County" or you can go to my tumblr to read a few blog posts about the experience (my tumblr is mrsbrandonkasper). Now before any judgements are made about my father, I need to really stress that he is my father and has always been a wonderful father to me and my sister. He is a kind, sweet, generous man who would make anyone feel comfortable and smile in his presence.
What should also be known is that before my father was sentenced to prison, he paid back all the money that was illegally earned during the time he was running his "scam". He never spent it. He just put it away… Which everyone thought was odd. But after paying back the money plus penalties, he was still given an inflated sentence of 5 years to serve in prison. At the time of his sentencing, he was 62 years old. We all thought he would get house arrest (interesting fact is that guards at his facility have told him they think he should be home with an ankle bracelet) but the federal prosecutor was asking for him to serve 36 months on prison. The judge gave him 60 months.
I felt compelled to write this to you because this is clearly unjust. My father has never hurt a fly and is now 64 and just had open heart surgery while in prison. Meanwhile this monster Robert Richard IV is free. This needs more attention brought to it. We can't just let men like my father sit in prison and drain federal funds when he should clearly be home (yes with an ankle bracelet because I still do know he should pay for his crime but at least he would be taken care of by family and himself) and then let a CHILD RAPIST off easy! This is insanity! You have a platform to bring up stories like this. Please help us use it. Thank you and God bless.
Kind regards,

My whole idea about these blog posts recounting the experience of my dad in prison was supposed to be pretty chronological, but I'm skipping some stuff to bring up what my family and father are going through right now and what's been going on for about a month.
In the beginning of the year, my father let us know that he had an EKG at the facility hospital and was told he needed to have surgery "soon". He was not told when this would happen, so for awhile we were all pretty much holding our breath knowing he could be taken off the facility and into a hospital somewhere in Long Beach or San Pedro at any moment. Turns out that was in the middle of March when they decided he would be taken to the hospital. My mother and I went to visit him on a Monday and this is what happened: a guard calls "S***** Family!". So we meet a guard and he takes us outside. He tells us "you can't visit today. I cannot tell you anything else but you can call his unit manager for more information." THAT'S IT. We figured this was it- this is when they took dad in to have heart surgery. So from the car and all the way home my mother and I tried calling Terminal Island (even though we were just there… it's mind blowing they couldn't have enough courtesy to just have someone come out and speak to us but hey, it's all a part of the punishment…). NO ONE WOULD ANSWER THE PHONE AT TI. We didn't hear from someone until Wednesday. Finally my mother spoke to dad's unit manager and was told "your husband is off the facility. he's fine. he was taken to a hospital under an alias to have a procedure done but I can tell you he's fine." No details given. Of course this was after some jerk guard told my mother to stop calling for info because inmate info is not public information and if anything happens (like dad DIES) she will be called. Dad returned to the prison facility the following week. It took about two weeks before mom got to speak with dad over the phone. Two weeks of complete agony for my poor mother. While everyone else gets to be with loved ones when they're in the hospital having huge procedures done, we didn't even know where my dad was and what he was having done to him. Turns out he had an angiogram, a procedure to fix his aortic stenosis (shut heart valve) and a pace maker put in. And just so we're all clear, this all is on the governments dime… If dad was at home on house arrest, my parents health insurance and my parents would have foot the bill.
Mom and I went to see dad that next friday. He came out looking pretty good for everything he'd gone through. It was a good visit. But we were surprised he didn't have a walker. The guard who checked us in made sure we were given close seats to the entrance where inmates come in because he was told my dad was going to be in a walker. Well miscommunication because some other guard didn't ALLOW my dad to bring his walker… which ended poorly. At the end of the visit I kept insisting I help my dad up and help walk him to his area where he waits to go back into the prison and gets searched by a guard. He of course insisted I not help him seeing as though I was almost 6 months pregnant at the time and didn't want to cause me harm (he's a large man). Well right after mom and I walked out, he fell pretty badly… it caused a scene, especially because the guards REFUSED TO HELP HIM (one time he could not get up from his seat and asked a guard for help and a guard said "no I'm not risking myself for YOU as if my dad was a disgusting worthless piece of human waste). So here he is, a 350lb elderly man CRAWLING INTO THE ENTRANCE so other inmates in the "searching area" could help him up. That landed him right back into the facility hospital and pushed back his recovery greatly. We went to go see him just two days later that Sunday and dad was a total 180 from that friday. He looked like he'd aged 10yrs in two days. He came out in a huge, obnoxious walker that day. He looked old and I hate to say it, but it's the first time in my life that i actually thought "my dad is dying."
That's the last time we've seen him in two weeks. We tried to go visit him the following weekend but every time my mom would try to schedule a visit, he would say he was just too tired and weak to have us visit. Last Sunday (exactly a week after we'd seen him) my mother spoke to him… We have yet to hear from him since. My mother says she had a feeling they ended up taking him to an off facility hospital because he was having trouble breathing and his recovery is very tough on him. Thursday my mother got a call from a stranger explaining she is the wife of an inmate who was in the terminal island hospital with my father and her husband wanted her to call my mom and let her know my dad was taken to another hospital. Interesting that this is information we should be getting from employees at terminal island. Interesting that the most courteous, generous, helpful and understanding people are my fathers fellow inmates, not the people on the government payroll. And believe me, my mother has attempted to call MULTIPLE times to terminal island to ask about my father and his condition… They give her the run around, don't answer questions and send her to extensions that don't work or cut the connection.
So here we are, playing the waiting game. Not knowing what is happening to my father. The only thing that's for sure is he's chained to a hospital bed and has not one but TWO guards with him in his room at all time, costing approximately $2500/ day in government payroll, aka our tax dollars, to make sure my 64 yr old completely out of shape fresh out of heart surgery father doesn't try to escape.
"Club Fed", "Camp for Adults", "Full Medical Facility"… those are a few references used to describe Federal Prison. Let me just tell you- completely false.
I will say it was a sigh of relief and not as terrible going to Terminal Island to visit dad. When you go in, there's a much bigger visiting area and all around there's vending machines, so if you wanted to, you can sit there and have a meal with whoever you're there visiting. You can take up to twenty dollars in coins in the visiting area (of course you are not to share with inmate). It's not as "scary".
But hearing straight from dad, all those references couldn't be further from the truth. It's interesting how people think they know yet they have absolutely no frame of reference. I've seen ignorant meme's and posting on facebook, such as "Like this photo if you think retirement homes should get better care than prisons!" or "Why should inmates get a free college education when students not imprisoned have to pay student loans!?". First of all, my dad is now 64 years old. I've mentioned before but he has special needs- heart disease, diabetes, neuropathy in his legs, very poor balance, etc. Before he went to prison, he saw a podiatrist, dentist, endocrinologist, cardiologist all regularly to monitor his health. Just so everyone knows, when you're diabetic, it's really important to take care of your feet and your teeth (among lots of other things). The dentist at TI is only there to pull teeth. There are no check ups. And my dads feet? He's ALWAYS complaining about them. There is no medical professional who gives a flying banana peel about you not being able to trim your own toes or how you're losing feeling in your toes and feet all together. We've visited him a few times where I have noticed stains on the bottom part of my dads pants and when i lift up the pant leg, he has awful open sores. Also, the guards care enough about you to not let you die pretty much… and even that statement is a slight stretch. My dad, due to his balance issues, has fallen in the presence of guards and they WILL NOT help him up! It's always inmates that come through for him. One time a guard straight up told him "I'm not going to risk my own health to help YOU."
This whole thing about "free college education for inmates"… I have no idea where that came from because at least where my dad is, they have to pay for their degree. And if any "education" is free, it's because it's taught by other inmates. When we would ask him about his "friends" a few times he's said "oh ya and he teaches the math class… this guy teaches the social studies class"… and no, these people aren't teaching because they were once teachers- they're teaching because that's the job they've been assigned to do.
Oh and the government shut down… that was hilarious. "LIKE this status if you think prison guards should get their pay and not inmates!" Ok geniuses- inmates get paid TWELVE CENTS AN HOUR to do things like clean up bird poo from the patio to teaching a GED class and with that money, they pay TWENTY CENTS a minute to make calls home to their loved ones and 5 cents a minute to use the internet to write emails to friends and family (of course closely monitored through "corr links"). All those guards did end up getting paid so let's not lose sleep over that whole thing, especially when they decided to not take any pride in their work and be even less friendly than usual during that time.
While we've been frequenting Terminal island, a new Warden has taken over… and things progressively get more annoying, inconvenient and make less sense. I definitely know it's because they want to make this experience as uncomfortable as possible so the amount of visitors drops drastically. The waiting areas for visitors have been cut by about a third, which makes no logical sense because now there's this huge open space in front of the check in space that is not utilized AT ALL… so it becomes very cramped, claustrophobic and uncomfortable while waiting, especially on busy days like Saturdays and Sundays. When going through the metal detector (similar to the ones you'll see at the airport), if you "beep", you now must wait for about an hour and a half to two hours to get "wanded" by a female officer (that is if you're a female as well). And most of the time, they never have a female officer nearby, when before they always had a man and a woman officer upfront so you could get "wanded" right away. And now, the rules are changing to be so strict that if you beep once, you don't even get to visit at all. They want to do as little work as possible for the most amount of pay. That's the idea!
Dress code has become more strict as well. No tan clothing (because tan is what the inmates wear), no wire bras for females or 3 hook bra closures, no more heels or boots with more than a one inch heel, no hoodies, no watches, no skirts above the bottom of the knee, no sweats or yoga pants…
I'll close this entry with this fun fact- In November 2013, I learned I was pregnant. There are "caution" signs by the metal detector about pregnant women being exposed to radiation. So I had my OB write me a note stating I'm not to go the the metal detector or be near the radiation. I hand the note to the guard up front in charge of visiting and explain the situation. He lets me finish, looks at me straight and goes "OK SO ARE YOU VISITING OR NOT? BECAUSE EVERYONE GOES THROUGH THAT REGARDLESS." I was so shocked and just said "Ya I will today but I'll need to reconsider the frequency of the visits now…". A female officer happened to be around and assured me that walking through that isn't the "bad" part, its being by the machine that our belongings are scanned through… so what I need to do is just walk through the metal detector and have someone else bring me my belongings rather than me grabbing them from the intense x ray machine myself. This is just an example that this place goes by it's own set of rules and you mean absolutely nothing to them. The stories to come make this experience looks like a day at disneyland comparatively speaking… Keep those eyes peeled!
Life for my family changed October 2010. I remember specifically being called late at night by my sister saying she needed to come over and talk to me immediately. It sounded serious and I could hear my mother weeping in the background. So they came over to my apartment and told me the news: Dad has been running some tax scheme for the past few years under everyone's nose and it's finally caught up to him. He's got to "lawyer up".
At first my reaction was "I'm not going to deal with this. I have my own life. I'll move away with my boyfriend (at the time) and that's it." But after I slept it off, I realized how unreasonable that is and I decided to go talk to dad.
My mother was understandably furious and hurt… my sister was I guess the same. I kind of came to a place where I felt like this is my dad- he's been there for me through all my highs and all my lows. I need to step up for him now. So I marched upstairs to speak to him. He was very calm, with very strong hints of shame, remorse, guilt and embarrassment. He told me that for a few years now, he's been running his tax business and trying to get away with something big. He would go to his clients homes and front them their refund checks. In person, he would do their taxes correctly. Then he would go home and file their taxes incorrectly with the maximum exemptions and then have their refunds electronically transferred into one of his bank accounts. He was getting away with it for awhile… until the clients would go and try to get a loan or refinance their homes. Their tax returns wouldn't add up with the ones that the banks would pull from the IRS. Dad got caught.
This was all very shocking because my family was always very comfortable financially, but we were not flashy people. We lived in 2 different homes my whole life, I personally always worked (since I was 16 years old) and never had new cars or designer clothes or went on vacations. I hadn't even been on a plane until I was 21 and I paid for it. I had no idea how much money my dad had (neither did my mother for that matter). The interesting and maybe even scary part about this whole thing is that my dad never spent the money he fraudulently earned. So when it came time for him to confess to the IRS, he pretty much was able to write them out a check for all the money he owed, plus penalties that he took out of his own money… In the end, this scheme bit him in the butt financially… but it also came with a way bigger price.
Fast forward to October 2012. By this time lots has happened- my dad had this great lawyer (so we thought…), I met the man I would marry and we did marry on April 22, 2012 (dad was able to walk me down the aisle)… Ironically dad was supposed to be sentenced for his crime in May 2012, but at my wedding he ripped his achilles tendon, had to have surgery and therefore had his sentencing pushed back to October. We had all come to terms with the idea that dad would have an ankle bracelet on for a few years under house arrest. The federal prosecutors were asking for him to serve 36 months in federal prison, but with this great, fancy lawyer and the fact that my dad had paid not only every cent back to the IRS, but also penalties AND he's also elderly, obese, diabetic with heart disease and walks with a cane, there's no way he's going to prison.
We were wrong. The judge had no mercy and was furious with my dad. Somehow he came up with an inflated sentence of 5 years in a federal prison. Shocked, terrified, saddened… those don't even really effectively describe the emotions felt by our family in that court room that day. A week before, we all had written the judge character letters about my father. His lawyer suggested we do so JUST IN CASE the judge is considering a prison sentence. Here's mine:
Honorable Stephen V. Wilson
Judge, U.S. District Court
Hello. My name is C******** K***** (S***** is my maiden name). My father is E****** S***** and I am writing you today to give you some insight on how I feel about my father and what he means to me.
There are only 3 people in the world who could bring me to tears when I speak of the love I have for them; one of the 3 is my father, E****** (the other two are my mother and husband). I'm not going to sit here and tell you "he's the best father in the whole wide world!", but what I can confidently tell you is that E****** is the best father for me. The crime he committed does not at all reflect the true person he really is… it does not reflect his heart.
My father is the most genuinely kind, loving and compassionate man I've ever known in my life. He loves to help people in need, even if they don't want it. When I see him, I instantly smile. His laugh wrecks me in a beautiful way… I can recall times living with my parents and I'd be downstairs. Randomly I'd hear my father laughing so hard and loud. As I became older, I learned to cherish every laugh and smile that came from my father, even to the point where I'd either go see why he's laughing or I'd just sit at the top stair and listen to the beautiful sound of his laughter. He's such a lovely man, your Honor.
Putting this all into words in a struggle for me, as I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face. All I can do is be honest and what I have to say is that putting my father away would be the worst situation I can imagine, just short of his death. The thought of my father not being around is frightening. He loves his family, as we all love him very much. My husband and I visit my parents at least twice a week, with Sunday dinner being a weekly tradition. It wasn't until recently that I noticed how rapidly my father seems to be aging and unfortunatly, it's not a very graceful aging process. He's unbalanced and walks with a cane now, all of his hair is completely white and his memory is fading.
My father is very supportive of the life my husband and I share. We all know it would be best for me and my husband to wait awhile before we start having babies, but I must admit while watching my father age I feel life puts pressure on me to have a baby sooner. Why? Because I cannot bear the thought of any child of mine to live a life not knowing E****** and feeling the love and warmth from him. I feel a sense of urgency to make him a grandfather because I know he will be a wonderful one. I see him with my cousin's young children and family friends children and they all adore my father. Why wouldn't they love him? He has such a comforting demeanor, children can't help but want to embrace him.
Since day one, my father has meant the world to me. I can recall times when he was working as a truck driver and I wouldn't see him often. When he would take the time to come home and visit during breaks, it was the high of my day. I was only 3-5 years old and to this day, my heart skips a beat thinking of how elated I was to see dad come home to visit. He always came through for me too. Anytime I made a mistake in life, instead of belittling me he was always there to offer support and help find a solution to any problem. Anything from forgetting something important at home that I needed for school or needing last minute car pool parents, my dad would drop what he was doing or happily rearrange his schedule to help me out. That's why I say he's the best dad for me.
Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts on my father, E****** S*****. I sincerely hope you take in account all that he really is and all that he means to the people who love him in his life.
Kind Regards,
Apparently someone used these letters as toilet paper. The fact that my father is a lovely family man who has a stable home life, paid his debt back and more was not considered.
We surrendered dad to the MDC in Los Angeles December 28, 2012. It all seemed fake to me. I just kept thinking "this is a mistake… he'll be home soon. There's no way they'll keep him there." At this point, my dad wasn't even assigned a prison to serve his sentence, so he was stuck in a holding cell for 3 months until they could place him somewhere "appropriate" for him and his needs (medical needs).
MDC stands for Metropolitan Detention Center. That was a rough place to say the least. Everyone working there, I guarantee does not have higher than an 8th grade education. And visitors are treated like we are true assholes. I'll never forget the way they spoke to my dear, sweet cherub of a mother. One day they wouldn't let her visit because she was wearing "capris" that ended right below her knee. They would yell at her that she took too long putting her shoes back on after going through security check. If she used the restroom between security check and being escorted to the visiting area, they would make her go through the whole security measures again and sometimes leaving her behind to wait longer than usual. This was no "federal institution". This was a place where my dad's room mate was a drug dealing murderer. All the guards yelled loudly at inmates and visitors alike. The last time we went to visit my dad there, he told us not to come back because of how atrocious the visiting situation was. Luckily, he was soon after assigned to his permanent prison- Terminal Island.
We were all relieved he was going to TI because of the reputation it has of being the cream of the crop of Federal Prisons. TI was going to be the place where all of dad's medical needs would be met (seeing as though the MDC neglected giving him 7 of the 11 medications he needed on a daily basis). At MDC, my dad would get diabetic sores and there was no medical professional available to treat him. Inmates would visit him to clean his sores for him and bandage him up. What we came to find out is that TI is really just the "cream of the CRAP". It's a glorified first aid tent. More to come on that later.
What was interesting about going to see dad at TI versus MDC was at MDC, the inmates there in visiting looked hard and scary and like people you would never want to run into out in public, day or night time. At TI, all of the inmates looked like your next door neighbor, your friends dad, your OWN dad. Even your boyfriend or husband. Very normal looking men.
When my dad first got to TI, they kept him in the hospital unit for well over a week to observe him and run tests to seek out his needs. Meanwhile, his visitors list had not been transfered from MDC to TI so we couldn't see him for over two weeks once he transfered. The system is very unorganized and not cohesive as we soon figure out (and continue to learn as the days go on…).

Before & After: IKEA LÄTT Hack
Chris Loves Julia
One of the best ways to think about IKEA furniture is as a blank slate. IKEA brings the functionality and affordability and you bring the personality. Julia bought this LÄTT table and chairs for her daughter Greta's first birthday - almost a year later she decided it was time to bring them to life.
Four hours of work later she had this color blocked, chalkboard-paint topped version which absolutely thrilled her daughter. And, because she had all the paint and sealant at home already, the project didn't cost her a cent.
"Of all the DIY projects we do around here, there is hands down nothing more rewarding than doing something special for Greta. She gets so excited and is so grateful."
Thanks Julia!

I like the color choice a lot. It's hard to find people that will do children's furniture in colors other than primary or pastel, and I think it makes kids spaces seem more sophisticated without being inappropriate. Also, way to go on the three coats of clear coat over the paint! That will protect and enhance your investment in time and resources on this re-do.
Fabulous! Great use for chalkboard paint.
This is paint. Not a hack!!!!
great paint job
Is it me or since the change from ohdeedoh to here, we get more and more snarky and unnecessary comments ?
Great hack, Julia.
I've noticed that too!
Which is why AT should have kept the departments separate. Parents are more sensitive when criticized about what they do for their children than apartment dwellers are about their "stuff". Just sayin'.
Obviously, those commenters weren't taught very well by their parents.
It isn't a hack, it's a paint job. And not a very creative one. Nothing else about it's shape, size, or use is changed. That isn't a snark; it's a fact.
I am sorry to agree that this isn't a hack, it's a paint job. That said, the chalkboard paint is fabulous! :)
It'a hack to ME>>I love what you did...'grew it up'. Great colors and the chalkboard paint..I'd never think of that! Perfect.. : ) And defffff the comments that are rude and meaningless are from people that come across these posts due to the 'change' in the 'set up'..pay them no mind as they seem very crabby faced.; )
Love it! I especially like how you left parts of the wood unpainted. The colors are great too, as is the chalk board painted top :)
oh dear, i didn't even read the title, what do you care if it's called hack or a paint job, if it's not something you find interessting, why take the time to comment. -.-
i like the result a lot, little effort, great effect :)
I don't see any criticism of the project. I see commentary on incorrect word choice from the "editors."
I'm confused, is it rude to say something isn't a hack?
Yeah, I like this post. Who has time to argue semantics! This is a great idea. Very creative way to spruce up an inexpensive Ikea find. Two thumbs up!

If you are diagnosed with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), your doctor needs to know the stage of the cancer. The stage of a cancer tells how far the cancer has spread. It also helps determine the best treatment for you. It is hard to stage AIDS-related KS because it comes from a disease that hurts the entire immune system.
The main staging system for Kaposi's sarcoma is the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) system. This system determines the stage of KS by 3 factors. Doctors refer to these stages using the letters T, I, and S.
"T" is for the size of the tumor.
"I" is for the health of the immune system. This is measured by the CD4 cell count.
"S" is for the extent of the illness in the body, called systemic illness.
Then doctors divide the disease into 2 subgroups. A 0 stands for low risk of problems, and a 1 stands for a higher risk of problems.
T0. KS is confined to the skin and lymph nodes. There is little KS in the mouth. The lesions are flat and are mainly on the roof of the mouth.
T1. The tumor is widespread. There may be swelling due to the tumor, many lesions on the mouth, or KS in organs besides the mouth.
I0. CD4 cell count is 200 or more cells per cubic millimeter.
I1. CD4 cell count is lower than 200 cells per cubic millimeter.
S0. No history of opportunistic infections or fungal infection of the mouth called thrush. No unexplained fever, night sweats, unexpected weight loss of more than 10%, or persistent diarrhea. You have the ability to get up and take care of yourself.
S1. Systemic illness is present. A history of opportunistic infections or thrush. Other HIV-related disease, such as lymphoma. Difficulty getting up and taking care of yourself.

4 Secrets of Getting Your Kid into Daycare
A great post in the Wall Street Journal blog "The Juggle" discussed how to get your kid into the daycare of your dreams. They offered four great tips worth sharing.
1) Start Early. The earlier you can get on one of these lists, the better off you'll be. Some daycare directors will wait-list children before they are even conceived!
2) Have Backups. Other parents sign up for several wait lists at once, in the hopes that at least one slot will open up. Even after they have been admitted somewhere, many parents say it is wise to stay on wait lists for other centers, in case you end up wanting to switch.
3) Keep Siblings Together. Because siblings of current enrollees almost always get priority admission, it pays to sign up all your kids at the same center.
4) Forget Bribes. Directors say they often have to fend off parents who try to offer up money or donations to gain admittance.
Do you have any tips or tricks for getting a kid into daycare?
Good article. Good to read. I just have one point to make about tee shirts.

As a leading authority on the Beatles, researcher and author Mark Lewisohn is well aware that there have been far too many books written about the Fab Four. "In general terms and in biographical terms, I think the Beatles have been underserved by books," he said.
Yet Lewisohn, 55, just contributed one more to the fray: the 944-page monster "Tune In: The Beatles: All These Years, Vol. 1" (Crown Archetype, $40). So what's left to say after the hundreds of books, documentaries and fictionalized biographical dramas about the Beatles? A lot, according to Lewisohn, especially when it's told accurately and with authority.
"Tune In" isn't simply another book about the Beatles — it's being received as the definitive account of the group's storied history. In Lewisohn's words, "a biographical history — not a rock biography."
The London native spent the last 10 years researching and writing the first volume, which begins in 1845 with Liverpool during the age of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr's grandparents and takes the reader through 1962 as the foursome is poised to release its first recordings.
Two more volumes will cover the band from 1962 on.
Given the historical magnitude of the subject to which he's devoted much of his life to, Lewisohn makes no apologies for the length of what he's written, nor the lengths he went to into researching and writing it.
"It's a story so fantastic you'd think it's all been made up," he said on a recent trip to Los Angeles from his home base near London. "But it's all true and therefore the best story of all."
Lewisohn, in fact, initially conceived of his grand-sweep exploration of the Beatles as a six-volume project — approaching Martin Gilbert's celebrated eight-volume Winston Churchill biography — but his publisher convinced him that it would be too much of an uphill battle to market.
"I call this a biographical history," said Lewisohn of the book, published Oct. 29. "It's a biography with the Beatles at the center and everything else that's happening around them. Initially, they were part of a world in which they were reacting to things around them, and when we get to volumes two and three, they're very much shaping what's going on around them."
To capture the sense of urgency about what he's taken on, he invoked a song title, and not of one of the more than 200 songs in the Beatles' oeuvre but that of one of their biggest heroes: "It's now or never."
In previous books, Lewisohn documented the Beatles' live performances ("The Beatles Live!" 1986) and their studio activity ("The Beatles Recording Sessions: The Official Abbey Road Studio Sessions Notes, 1962-1970," 1988), for which he was granted unprecedented access to archival materials held by EMI Records and their Abbey Road studio where the Beatles made the vast majority of their records.
He also cataloged their professional and personal activities for "The Beatles Day by Day" in 1990 and synthesized what he'd gathered for those books added to it for "The Complete Beatles Chronicles" in 1992.
Along the way he's worked for EMI in producing reissues and new collections of Beatles materials and spent 15 years as a consultant on a variety of projects for McCartney.
The Beatles themselves tend not to read — or at least comment publicly on — much of what's written about them. But in his foreword to "The Complete Beatles Chronicles," Beatles producer George Martin effused: "Of all the chroniclers who have studied the lives of John, Paul, George and Ringo, Mark Lewisohn stands supreme."

Reviews of the new book have been generally positive with near-universal praise of Lewisohn's research and most criticisms taking issue with Lewisohn's writing style.
"He's not a great stylist but he has written a game-changing study which raises the bar in a genre characterised by pap or pretension," the UK Independent's review said.
The Boston Globe's review called his prose and musical judgment "shortcomings that put a drag on this weighty account."

Monthly Market Commentary - August 2014Sep92014Article
Economic expansion continued to unfold at disparate paces across developed markets. New data showed signs of shifting growth trajectories, putting pressure on central banks to modify current levels of accommodation. Fixed-income and equity markets fared better in August than during the prior month. Corporate bonds led other fixed-income segments and the Americas outpaced other regions for equity performance. Even with somewhat elevated developed-market equity valuations and narrow credit spreads, we see room for markets to move higher and would be inclined to buy on a correction.
Investment Fundamentals: Tax-Loss HarvestingSep32014Article
Tax-loss harvesting is the process of selling a security at a lower price than initially purchased to offset taxable gains. Effective execution of a tax-loss harvesting strategy can increase the after-tax value of an investors portfolio. The wash-sale rule prohibits re-purchasing the same security, or one that is substantially identical, within 30 days of

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 143 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by nanny27 Field & Steam Adult Fishing Vest This was the only vest that I could find in Dick's that would fit me comfortably and I am an average size person. However, the vest is still a little too bulky around the middle for me in a 10 foot kayak. The pockets are a definite plus and the mesh shoulders keep me cool even during the warmer months in Florida. I am overall pleased with this purchase but not too happy with the price, well over $60.00 w/ tax. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by senior boater Love the comfort I purchased this particular Life vest because I liked the freedom of movement, it's lightweight, less bulky than the others that I tried, and affordably priced . I would recommend this item to others. September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Skelley Great product So I was sort of skeptical about this product at first but after going over and having it keep my afloat with all of my gear it is worth every penny. Oh did I mention I had a $20 off coupon? Pick one of these up if you want a comfortable, affordable, and dependable life vest. September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hoytusa1966 Very nice life vest! I wear it all day in the Kayak and it is very easy to fish with it on!! August 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jersey1325 Works and Fits Well Of all the type III PFDs this was the only one that would fit over the bottom part of my ribcage and still fit properly. Was a bit pricey but well worth it in the long run. August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Ron Not bad for the price Not bad for the price. If you will be doing a lot of kayaking you might want to spend a little more on a better one. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kevin Nice fit keep you cool Very easy to move around in. Solid does the job. Very well ventilated to help keep cool. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by bassman65 Great product fits great, pockets hold plenty of gear Needed a pfd for my new kayak and since I bought it to fish wanted a life jacket with pockets for gear. Vest is very comfortable and easy to move around in. I hold my fishing essentials in the pockets. easy to get to and good quality zippers and belt straps. Would recommend purchase. Not sure if it will keep me a float, have not capsized yet, dont plan on either but!! I am 6 ft tall and about 210lbs and the XL fits me perfectly with some room to move around. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ty Comfortable The mesh shoulders leaves arms free for paddling my kayak. Very comfortable to wear. The padded collar in the "up" position feels odd. I flip it under and it's a non-issue. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Rudy Comfortable Easy to move while fishing from my canoe and at the same time providing enough bouyancy should there be a problem. Very well made. August 11, 2014

Hello April, thank you for the awesome review of my site Pawn That Pussy ( http://www.rabbitsreviews.com/s26029/Pawn-That-Pussy.html ). We just launched this past month so I'm happy you noticed all the hard work I've put into the videos, photos, story and the site overall. Quality over quantity has always been my motto!

Hi April
I'm the owner of http://www.rabbitsreviews.com/s25171/Keds-Fetish.html and http://www.rabbitsreviews.com/s25169/Converse-Fetish.html which you just reviewed. Thanks for the fresh look at my sites. As a sneaker-fetisher we don't often get outside opinions and tend to trap ourselves into looking at things in one way.
One thing I was disappointed about though was there was no mention in either review of our guest area download option. Visitors don't have to buy a membership they can pick a set or video and buy that one or more sets. You may have not thought it important to mention or have missed it completely but from our sales we know our customers like it.
Happy holidays,

Found March 25, 2013 on Redlegs Review:
PLAYERS: Aroldis Chapman
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels
One week from today, the Reds will be playing host to the loaded Los Angeles Angels at Great American Ball Park for their season opener. It's going to be a festive occasion full of pageantry, tradition, and dreams of what the new season may hold. Until then, the Reds still have several exhibition games left in Arizona to endure. Being that we are so close to commencement of the regular season, I thought it would be a good time to share some of my views on the current state of the Redlegs. These views are uncensored and relatively unorganized. I mostly just wanted to put in writing the culmination of what I've been thinking about this spring. Here goes nothing... 1) The promises made by the Reds have become about as reliable as the local weatherman. For the third season in a row, they were adamant about turning Aroldis Chapman into a starting pitcher. And for the third season in a row, they changed their mind. Ultimately, the club can handle their business in whateve...

Electric power was pioneered in Michigan along its idyllic rivers, and today we continue to operate 13 hydroelectric plants along five waterways.
The hydros were built between 1906 and 1935 and have a combined generating capacity of approximately 130 megawatts, enough to serve about 70,000 people.
Near our hydros are campgrounds, boat launches, picnic and other recreational facilities. They are popular spots for canoeing and fishing, and many visitors also enjoy bird watching and exploring the nearby nature trails.
The Hydro Reporter keeps you up to date on information and events associated with the hydro dams.
Our Hydroelectric facilities are along the five following rivers scattered throughout Michigan.

DIY Upcycled Lighting Ideas from Etsy
Lamps can be made from just about anything heat-resistant using a store-bought wiring kit. We've seen them made from glass bottles, ceramic cups, and sometimes even plastic and metal pieces. Since Etsy features a lot of upcycled lighting, we thought we'd round up a few items that gave us ideas for DIY lighting projects...
We found a comprehensive set of instructions for building a lamp out of almost anything on WikiHow. To make a table lamp out of a glass bottle, wire it through the bottom. The table lamp shown at the top of the post is the Decanter Lamp from YoursTrulyxoxo, $55.
For a slim glass pendant light, use a wine bottle and wire it with a socket, wire, plug, and long cord that you can hang as a swag lamp. This is the Upcycled Bottle Swag Lamp from Beetnik505, $95.
Dress up a switchplate with recycled paper scraps. (Click here for a how-to from Offbeat Living.) This is a Vintage Wallpaper Switchplate from Fondue, $20.
Lampshades can also be covered in vintage papers or fabrics. (Click here for step-by-step instructions from How Stuff Works.) This photo shows a Vintage Wallpaper Lampshade from Drawflowers, $180.
A quirky idea for a pendant lamp: coffee or tea cups. This Coffee Cup Lamp is from Domestic Construction, $58.
This fixture reminds us of the colander lamps that we've seen many times before. It's the Starlight Recycled Metal Pendant from pixelfoundry, $75.
Other ideas for DIY lighting projects? Let us know in the comments below.

I never thought of using a teacup! I really want to make my own table lamps though.
bella la lampada con la bottiglia blu!!
chissà se riesco a farla uguale...
how do you cut the glass?
where is that top lamp from? i want it!
nevermind, i just read carefully and saw that you already listed the information. woops!
these are so awesome! it's great to see etsy shops spotlighted - i have a shop there too. i LOVE that blue pendant light!

New beta feature: previews
We're excited to announce we've added media previews to Digital Pigeon. It's a pretty awesome feature that allows you and your recipients to view images, video (and soon audio) files without having to download them.
If you're working on a project and sending a lot of files back and forth, you don't necessarily want to have them taking up room on your own hard drive, so this feature gives you the convenience of great online sharing services like Vimeo, Flickr and Soundcloud but all the content is delivered over our secure network with your branding, delivery notification and all the other features you love about Digital Pigeon.
Pretty cool.
We'll be turning this feature on by default in the coming weeks but if you're interested in helping us test it out you can enable by checking the 'Display media previews to recipients' checkbox under the options section on the send page.
— Dan

We've had a lot of interest in PVS from the pen tester community.
As a sniffer, you should deploy it on a span port, but that isn't always an option.
If you can deploy it on a heavily visited system, you can run it there. The PVS runs fine on Sharepoint, Exchange, .etc
and it will fingerprint and record the vulns of all systems that visit it over HTTP, SMB, .etc.
The most ideal deployment of the PVS is with cooperation from the team you are doing the audit on. I'm obviously a big
fan of PVS's ability to find vulns, but what is more valuable is finding targets for the pen test including enumeration
of all web sites, active but fire-walled hosts and management ports like SSH, SNMP & Telnet.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Tenable PVS on a pen test
I'm a long time nessus user and love it. (I am forced to use Qualys for MSSP clients due to Tenable licensing, but
that's a different topic.) I recently purchased a PVS license and have been using it with great success on security
arch reviews and internal vulnerability assessments.
I know some are using PVS on pen tests. How is this being employed without the use of a network tap or span port? In
my experience, most customers won't allow these on a pen test.
If only I had a sonic screwdriver. :)

A Dose of Leopold
I like all my metaphors for bureaucracy to be in the language of game hunting.
I had a bird dog named Gus. When Gus couldn't find pheasants he worked up an enthusiasm for Sora rails and meadowlarks. This whipped-up zeal for unsatisfactory substitutes masked his failure to find the real thing. It assuaged his inner frustration.
We conservationists are like that. We set out a generation ago to convince the American landowner to control fire, to grow forests, to manage wildlife. He did not respond very well. We have virtually no forestry, and mighty little range management, game management, wildflower management, pollution control, or erosion control being practiced voluntarily by private landowners. In many instances the abuse of private land is worse than it was before we started. If you don't believe that, watch the strawstacks burn on the Canadian prairies; watch the fertile mud flowing down the Rio Grande; watch the gullies climb the hillsides in the Palouse, in the Ozarks, in the riverbreaks of southern Iowa and western Wisconsin.
To assuage our inner frustration over this failure, we have found us a meadowlark. I don't know which dog first caught the scent; I do know that every dog on the field whipped into an enthusiastic backingpoint. I did myself. The meadowlark was the idea that if the private landowner won't practice conservation, let's build a bureau to do it for him.
Like the meadowlark, this substitute has its good points. It smells like success. It is satisfactory on poor land which bureaus can buy. The trouble is that it contains no device for preventing good private land from becoming poor public land. There is danger in the assuagement of honest frustration; it helps us forget we have not yet found a pheasant.
I'm afraid the meadowlark is not going to remind us. He is flattered by his sudden importance.

The Comics Writer and the Fall of the Superpowers

Khloe Kardashian's sister Kim is saying Robert Kardashian is WITHOUT A DOUBT Khloe's biological father ... and anyone who suggests otherwise is completely full of crap.
Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... the family is fuming at Robert's ex-wives ... who both told the tabloids Robert privately revealed that Khloe was fathered by another man.
We're told, "It's totally untrue and the family is very hurt."
One source close to Kris Jenner tells us ... Khloe's mom isn't even fazed by the rumors because "it's so ridiculous, it's not even worth her time."
The family has been dealing with wild allegations about Khloe's biological dad for a while -- and even joked about it on their reality show -- but one family source is adamant, "She looks just like Robert's mother."
I, too, thought Khloe didn't look anything like her sisters, her mother and father are both short of stature. The mother mentioned she had an affair in her recent book, Khloe, possibly may have a different father. As for the resemblance to Robert Kardashian's mother, not an ounce. Poor Khloe! Kris Jenner, you really got yourself in a jam now.
Welcome to the new TMZ. All Kardashian, all Lohan, all the time. He (or she) who gives Harvey the most coffee money gets to be on the site the most.
She doesn't look anything like his mother, but she really looks like him.
Robert Kardashian is NOT Khole's biological father. Anybody with eyes in their head could figure that out. Khole should be thankful...that guy was a little troll. Kris Jenner is also a total slut so why is it so far fetched to think that she got pregnant by another man? Khole needs a DNA test. She'll find out that she does not have the same daddy as the rest of them.
Hey Kim! SHUT IT. You claimed to be in love with KH and married him and we all know how that panned out. Why would ANYONE believe you when you say Robert Kardashian IS Khloe's father?
You and that family are liars - who's gonna believe anything you say?
The Kardashians don't mind being in the public eye all the time when they are in control.
I think the devil fathered all of them.
They did a butt x-ray on Kim's gigantic azz. so here's more material for their show, a DNA test on wookie Klhoe.
Dont really care, but i hope its not true!! But honestly speaking, she doesnt look like them. You see kris her mother in her, but nothing of her supposed
Father robert k...
This is just another publicity grab by this family of media wh()res not one thing is beneath them
First of all Kim needs to STFU....she is the last person to vouch for anything as much as she has lied. Kris J is not fazed because she knows Khloe is not a Kardashian but no one can PROVE it at this point in time since Robert is dead.
IMO there is no way Khloe is a Kardashian. She looks more like she can be Bruce Jenner's daughter than Robert.
Simply because someone doesn't resemble a parent doesnt' mean they aren't related. Happens all of the time. And Robert's exes should have stayed quite. Kris Jenner too, for getting this entire ball of wax rolling by talking about her affair.
Jodi, but if it were my sister, I'd go to bat for her too. I don't like Kim but cannot fault her for sticking up for her sister.

The Pittsburgh Steelers may be getting the break they finally needed this week in facing an 0-3 Minnesota Vikings team that's now in the midst of a quarterback controversy.
Viking backup quarterback Matt Cassel will start against the Steelers on Sunday at Wembley Stadium in place of Christian Ponder, who's rib injury is much more serious than originally believed.
Head Coach Leslie Frazier revealed Friday has a fractured rib:
"He's a tough, tough guy, but it probably wouldn't be wise to put him in that situation," Frazier told reporters. "We have complete confidence that Matt will do a good job, our players are going to support him and he'll be the guy that will be leading us to victory on Sunday evening."
The 31 year-old Cassel has posted a 1-2 record as a starter against the Steelers during his career, and he lost his most recent start against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football last fall. In those contests, Cassel completed just 47.4% of his passes for 571 yards with two touchdowns, three interceptions and a 60.5 passer rating.
Not only that, but Cassel has lost 9 of the previous 10 games he's started in. His only other career win vs a team from the AFC North was in 2010 against the Cleveland Browns.
