Survey: Do You Like to Eat Outside?
Here at The Kitchn, June is all about the great outdoors. Cooking, grilling, gardening, eating outside... But we're curious: how many of you really like eating outside? We like very particular conditions to eat outside (not too hot, not too cold, a minimum of bugs, etc.). What about you? Do you run outdoors with a picnic blanket as soon as the weather gets warm? Or do you prefer your indoor table?
Regardless, though, of whether you're a fan of eating your food outside or in, there's no question that June offers new landscapes to any cook. The garden, the grill, the fresh farmers markets all beckon. As a cook, what is your favorite part of getting outdoors in June?

Outside is great fun! But I live in Arizona, where Thanksgiving and Christmas call for cranking up the barbecue and eating potato salad on the patio. While the rest of you are dining al fresco in mid-summer, we're lying in the direct path of our air conditioner, hoping for outside temperatures below 115.
i love to eat outdoors, but hubby hates the bugs who seem to love him more than they love me!
Love love love to eat outdoors. Don't really care if it is hot (I mean, under 90) and don't see a lot of bugs on my roof in Brooklyn. ;)
I agree with @katiewalker, but under 90 is just a pipe dream here in central Texas from about 7 am to about 9 pm between Memorial Day and Labor Day (and often beyond). We still eat outside a lot around here in the summer - so long as I'm not directly in the sun, I'm fine. And keep those citronellas lit!
I only like to eat outdoors when the weather is nice. It has to be under 90 degrees, not windy, not rainy or snowy. I know, so picky! But the best is in summer when it's warm and a little cloudy so the greenery looks really lush.
I think Mr. Knightley in "Emma" says it best:
"My idea of the simple and natural will be to have the table spread in the dining room. The nature and the simplicity of gentlemen and ladies, with their servants and furniture, I think is best observed by meals within doors."
If there are no flies, and it's not too warm, and the wind isn't blowing strands of hair into my mouth, and it's not raining, and there aren't any weird smells coming from farms or hog lagoons or the sewer or the trash trucks passing by -- and if there's a cute, available (to women) guy involved -- sure, I love eating outdoors! Bring on the picnic basket! (Is that food properly chilled? Do we have adequate tableware? Is there a table? No? Hmm ... I'll have to think about this.)
I cannot stand eating outside at restaurants for two reasons: wind and sun right in my eyes. It always seems to happen when I'm eating out for lunch, but never at a barbecue. So generally, I avoid eating outside if I can.
100% agreed with cremedela. Aside from everything conniving to ruin your fun, eating alfresco is delightful.
In the summer, I'm in a constant state of readiness waiting for truly nice days to eat and drink outside. All day long I've been thinking about coolers I might like to purchase
I think the only time I do enjoy eating outdoors is when we take a picnic lunch on a hike. Stopping and eating sandwiches overlooking waterfalls or evergreens appeals to me. But it's a brief stop, you eat, and move on. I hate eating a sit down meal at picnic tables or on someone's deck/patio/lanai for most of the reasons mentioned above.
I love eating outdoors, but my husband doesn't! Too bad!!
I once insisted that a friend and I eat our chinese take out on my front porch. It was one of the first really nice days of spring and I was dying for the fresh air. He was flipping out the whole time saying the only thing you should eat outside are hamburgers and hotdogs.
I love the IDEA of eating outside, but the hassle of carting all the stuff out always makes it less net fun than I think it's going to be. And I hate washing plastic dishes afterwards.
I love al fresco dining at a restaurant. Especially by the seaside.

Sometimes I travel. Sometimes I run. And sometimes I write about it.
September 19th, 2011
Fjærland: part one
Part of the reason why I came to Norway was because of its spectacular nature. I wrote something about it on every application and scholarship essay I prepared for the semester. And this past weekend I finally got out and experienced one of the things that I came here for.
The hiking trip was organized through the school and a company called Hiking in Norway, that is run by an amazing woman named Kristin Devor.
Friday morning we had to meet on campus at 9:00 to get into the vans and head out.
OF COURSE I just missed the train to get there in time, but I met up with a girl named Clara that was going on the trip too. She phoned ahead and told them we would be a few minutes late. We had never met before, but figured out that we were both going on the same trip due to the bags we had with us.
We got to campus and met up with our two guides and the rest of the group. Eighteen people in all. The two guides were Norwegian, and out of the students there was one Icelander, two Dutch, one Thai, one Italian, and a bunch of Germans. I was the only American. I have never been the only American before! It was very interesting. I felt like an ambassador or something. Being the only American also made me the only native English speaker. Again I felt totally stupid for not being bilingual, and wished for the first time in my life that I spoke German. Because there were so many of them, they spoke in German instead of English a lot. I can understand though. It must be very exhausting speaking in a foreign language all day long.
So here's a picture of our guides in case you were wondering what Norwegians looked like:
Though they sure hopped around the mountains like a boss. Kristin even said she has bad knees, though you could never tell by the way she ran about. This is her:
Though born and raised in Oslo, she has crazy extensive experience with the Norwegian wilderness. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave us mini lessons about everything we saw.
Our other guide was Geiri, who was equally as awesome and is in the orange jacket here:
I must resign myself to the fact that I will never be as cool as them.
Back to the chronological story then. Getting into the vans, I was surprised to see someone I knew! Hellen, you may remember, was one of the people that joined our lost group after I got off the plane my first day here. To refresh your memory read this post. I had seen Hellen around a few times since then, but hadn't hung out with her any. But she is really easy to talk to and it was really nice having someone I kind of knew on the trip.
Each van held nine people plus gear and bags, and were, I was surprised to see, made by Ford! Though they were unlike any Ford I had seen. Still, I was happy to see the familiar blue insignia shining back at me in the sun (yeah, we had sun!)
The ride was pretty long, but we had a few stops to stretch our legs and eat. Lunch was had at the warmest place in Norway. It can get up to 35 degrees celsius there (that's 95 for you fahrenheit users). The picture above was taken at the highest point in the road we would drive on. The landscape at that altitude was devoid of trees and full of scrubby plants and rocks. It reminded me of New Mexico, actually (I know, I keep comparing everything here to the States. I really can't help myself. Sorry.)
We were going to stop at an original stave church, but it was covered in plastic for restorations.
Other stops we made were to look at waterfalls, rivers, or remote cabins with some sort of significance. At each stop we had a little lesson from Kristin.
When Kristin was a young girl, they could fish for gigantic salmon out of this river. I mean really huge. But somehow, a parasite got in the water and started killing off all the salmon. It wasn't harmful to humans, but very deadly for the poor fish. So the Norwegian government decided to poison the river to get rid of the parasite so it did not spread to other waterways and wipe out the entire country's population of wild salmon. Unfortunately, poisoning the river meant a total kill, wiping out all living things in that river, including plants. There were some protests, but in the end the government won out and poisoned the water.
Years later, the salmon are coming back to the river. But so is the parasite. Kristin was unsure if they would do another kill, but people nearby told us that they were working on poisoning just the parasites this time. You can fish in the river, but it is mandatory to sterilize all the equipment before fishing elsewhere so the nasty little parasite doesn't spread.
Further down the road, Kristin quizzed us on why in the world anyone would move to an isolated cabin like this of the side of a mountain. Sure, it looks romantic and all Thoroughian to us now, but life here was extremely difficult for people hundreds of years ago.
Cue a very condensed Norwegian history lesson!
So. Norway on a whole is not a very hospitable place, nature-wise. There is pretty much no flat land anywhere (I know this first hand) and very little can be farmed. Centuries ago, farmers had to spilt up there land amongst there sons for the inheritance. After a few generations of land dividing, the remaining plots were pretty small and useless. So when the population outgrew the land, poor people moved to remote hillsides like the one pictured above. There they could keep a few livestock animals, fish in the river, harvest wild grasses, and shoot wild game. It was a very hard existence, but it worked.
Then came the black death! Woo!
A lot of the population was wiped out by the plague. Which, by the way, probably wouldn't have hit so hard if Norwegians didn't insist on importing their grain. But since it didn't grow well here they had to if they wanted bread that wasn't made out of barley. The disease was spread by rats and the fleas that fed on grain after leaving their furry hosts. That is also the reason why the plague wiped out most of the wealthy and aristocratic class. They were the only ones who could afford to buy the grain. As the disease spread, a lot of farms (and sometimes entire towns) were left abandoned, letting the survivors spread out and settle on the arable land again. Bad for the people who died, but good for population control.
So Norway was good for a while until the population exceeded land space once again (it's pesky that way). This time there was no plague, but a million fed-up Norwegians did leave the country. And where did they go? I'll give you one guess.
The land of plenty where they could populate the midwest and influence the Minnesotan accent.
Even after this mass exodus Norway was still a poor country with too few resources to support the population. That is, until they struck oil, making everyone wealthy and inflating the economy so I have to pay twenty dollars for a paperback book. A paperback. Ahem.
So now you know the origins of the crazy little cabins in the mountains. Today they are used as vacation cabins or are inhabited by young couples that get sick of the city (because it's so big and urban and all…).
These days the farmers are also kept alive by the support they receive from the government. This is one of the reasons why Norway doesn't want to join the EU, because then they would not be allowed to offer such support and then might lose some of the farms.
On the way we also drove through a historic part of a small village with original buildings. The way was actually pedestrian only, but Kristin said to Geiri: "It's illegal to drive there, but just follow me," and away we went.
And then I made my triumphant return to the Sognefjord! Four days after I left it the first time…
We drove right up ONTO A FERRY and rode across the water, cutting out a lot of driving time. Of course I have heard of ferries taking cars, but I had never actually seen one, so I was pretty amped.
I could look at fjords forever.
After the ferry ride, we only had about an hour or two left before getting to the Fjærland valley, birthplace of Kristin's mother and our home for the weekend.
Before getting to the cabins, we stopped by part of the glacier to ogle at it for a while and get more lessons.
Jostedalsbreen is the biggest glacier in continental Europe (there are bigger ones in Iceland, but since that is an island they don't count). The glacier maintains it's size due to the area's snowfall, not because of low temperatures. Therefore, the ice melts and moves pretty quickly. The glacial arm above moves about two meters A DAY and feeds the lake below that then runs in a river all the way down to the fjord.
Kristin gave us all the interesting facts, as well as "dying stories" that were sort of intended to scare us into behaving properly around the glacier. There are plenty of stories about people falling into crevasses, getting lost in white-out storms, or who think it would be great fun to explore the small openings that the moving ice creates, only to get trapped inside when the ice decides to make it's weekly collapse.
One of the more interesting stories starred Kaiser Wilhelm from Germany (if I remember the story correctly). The Fjærland valley was a popular tourist destination for wealthy foreigners. Many British and Germans, including the Kaiser, would sail their boats on up the fjord to come and look at the massive pile of ice. Wilhelm would have his soldiers carry him up the mountain in a chair so he could chill there in front of the glacier. Well, two of his soldiers decided that going back down on the same path was boring, and struck out to find an alternate way down. They succeeded in going down the mountain, but their dismembered body parts never made it back to Germany and are buried in the local churchyard.
Yes Kristin, we promise to stay on the path!!!
Best things about having guides is that they teach you so much and keep you from dying.
We stayed in the valley in family-owned camping huts with GRASS GROWING ON THE ROOFS.
There even was a tree on the one I stayed in. The group split up into several cabins, and I found myself in one with Hellen and four other German girls. It was super cozy, and I was absolutely thrilled with the situation I found myself in. I did have to haul my own sheets with me, but that turned out alright. It was nice having a bit of home to sleep in.
We had our own bathroom, kitchen, spectacular view, wifi (I had my ipod, but didn't feel like using it to update the blog much, neener neener!), and even a TV! We watched some Norwegian shows that none of us could understand, but it was just nice to have a television on sometimes. The commercials were really funny. We only got three channels, but were able to watch the Norwegian versions of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars (I don't even watch the American versions of these, bleh). I was amazed once again to see the American influence here. All of the songs the idols sang were American, as were many of the ones the stars danced to. Also, a few of the dance numbers were American themed. I remember one western one standing out and also one that featured costumes resembling Marilyn Monroe and an American GI, dancing to American swing.
I also learned that George Clooney often stars in European commercials.
I learn something new every day…
After settling in to our cabins, many of us took a walk while we waited for dinner.
Kristin made us a spectacular dinner (pasta, mmmm) and informed us of the next day's procedures. One highlight of dinner was the Icelander telling us all about how she has fricken glaciers in her backyard, and how sporty and awesome everyone is in that country. Maybe I should go to Iceland next…
I wasn't going to split up the posts, but it's getting late and I want to go to bed. You'll just have to wait for part two!

I am looking for a utility that will allow my screen to be split into two sections. I would like to do this so that programs can easily fill or get sized properly to one part of the screen. This way I can pretend that I have a separate monitor for working on my stuff, while my kids can watch something on the other side. In addition, this should help prevent any popups covering up their side of the screen.
Although Windows 7 comes with ability to drag a program window to a side and it becomes sized to half of the screen automatically, this is insufficient for me. I would like to make sure that any programs I launch or any pop-ups that open up, do not block the other side of the screen, even for a short time. Also, I am not looking for a virtual OS solution, as in VirtualBox.

Dallas Cowboys star linebacker DeMarcus Ware underwent offseason shoulder surgery that kept him from fully participating in OTAs, but you can expect Ware to be out on the field fully participating in the team's training camp. Ware spoke to ESPN Dallas and stated that he will be working towards 100 percent during camp.
"I'll be out there doing everything from all the drills to all the plays they want me to do," said Ware. "I know how it's going to go, and it's going to go well. I feel like my shoulder is about 94 percent, if you want to put it that way. If we had to play a game tomorrow, I'd be ready to play."
Ware believes that getting back on the field and getting bumped around is exactly what he needs to do to gain the confidence back and get closer to 100 percent.
"Just getting out on the field, banging around a little bit, knocking off the rust and maybe sacking the quarterback one time," Ware said. "That'll make myself feel good all over again."
For the Cowboys, they hope their star can get back to top form. With a new defensive scheme, it is more important than ever to have their top pass rusher getting full reps and getting in to game shape for the start of the season.

tuffymamaNovember 19, 2012 at 3:24 PMJustin Bieber is a little twit. That is the best I've ever seen Nicki Minaj, and I love that gown! I hope Xtina sees this pic of herself and decides to get her health under control. She is a mother, and I'm sure she would be missed terribly if she dropped dead from whatever it is she's doing.

This is a really unflattering example of Christina's dress. In other pictures I've seen online where she is standing properly it actually looks lovely. Taylor looks amazing, and that dress was made for Nicki Minaj.

Didn't Julie Bowen wear the same dress as Minaj to the Emmys?

As someone working in IT, I can't believe you'd make such a newbie mistake. IO parallelism is not the only factor involved in this sort of rollout, and you know it. You have to imagine that there's more to the process than 'image and go.' Wow's a complex system, the servers no doubt operate in clusters, the 'single database server' per battlegroup is almost guaranteed to be clustered. With the sheer number of points of failure that must be involved, not to mention the fact that there's not a 'standard' hardware configuration (newer realms have newer hardware) you can be damn sure there's most likely a tedious, thorough automated smoke test of every facet of connectivity and performance, not to mention multiple failures per rollout requiring engineering attention. This is completely ASIDE from the fact that they're generally not keen on bringing down servers for extended maintenance all that frequently and so more complex hardware upgrades, growing of RAID volumes and other longer-term tasks are PROBABLY on their schedule for these patch rollouts when they have more leeway (people don't expect the average tuesday downtime to run over, patch days it's a known fact of life.)
I mean, seriously. You're acting like this is a fire and forget operation.

ToD ficbit: Wednesday Evening
I always love roleplay, but with Gold as the begging tenant and Belle as the one with the power. Especially when it involves faux!shame.
This was done at 500 words, but Belle kept talking. I think she's been wanting to be dom!Belle for a while, and Gold's happy to be the sub.
NSFW and NC17
Belle had never felt so powerful as she did stood behind Gold's shop counter, clad in one of his long jackets and a tie, black lacy lingerie and stockings beneath and stilettos on her feet. She even had his cane in her hands, as she smiled at him cruelly, "A rent extension, dear?" she did her best impression of him, and almost caught a smile on his lips, but his mask of desperation and misery covered it fast.
"Yes, please Miss French," he said, voice shaky and weak as she'd ever heard it, believable, almost, as the poor tenant he played. "We couldn't earn enough to pay it this month."
"And how is that my problem?" she asked, leaning over to give him a good look down her bra, and watching him swallow hard as he glanced down. "Eyes front, Mr Gold," she reminded, silkily, and he gulped as he glanced up at her.
He played the beggar so well, she wondered once again at his past. He had suggested this scenario - for all he loved control, and amazing as their sex was when he had it, things were equally interesting when he submitted to her - and it was certainly working on her end.
She strode out from behind the counter, and saw him get his first good look at her, dressed in his clothes and her own lingerie, a dominatrix in a business jacket. She'd felt a little silly putting it all on earlier: his dry-mouthed gaping was more than enough compensation.
"I said eyes front!" she snapped, and he hurried to obey, eyes snapping back to hers and away from her lace-covered breasts beneath his jacket. "Now, there is a deal to be made here, if you're amenable."
"What would you need from me, Miss French?" he asked, eyes wide and fragile and pleading. She didn't know if she wanted to cuddle him or ravish him, but he'd asked for power play, and implied domination and punishment. They could try for gentle another time: this opportunity was too precious to pass up.
She mimicked one of his own low chuckles, "Only you, Mr Gold, your time and your… body," she let her smirk cover her face as she looked him up and down lasciviously. He'd found some jeans somewhere, and with a white shirt he looked so much more normal, softer and more ordinary, than her usual intimidating, imposing partner. It was delicious.
"My… body?" he frowned as if in confusion, "I don't understand."
"Oh dearie," she stepped closer, one red-tipped fingernail under his chin, his cane braced between them, "I think that you do. Tonight is my payment for a month's grace."
"What do I have to do?" he asked, voice as low as hers, and she could see his eyes dilating, as turned on as she.
"Kneel," she purred, "we'll take it from there."
He awkwardly manoeuvred himself to the floor, his bad leg sat at an angle, and she hoped he'd use a safeword if things got to uncomfortable. She had a small idea, though, that maybe the pain just added to things for him. He'd been strange for weeks, since the Sheriff got elected, in fact, and it had got her wondering about Emma Swan's accusations. Of course he was guilty, Belle of all people understood that, but it was his reaction that had her thinking.
Was he asking for punishment for that? Was that what this was really all about, that he felt badly about what he'd done, and needed someone to put him down for it?
Then again, he was into some fairly kinky stuff. He could just be one of those masochist types deep down, with some repressed sub fantasy. They'd certainly got enough use out of his neckties for make-shift bondage these past months. He'd even spanked her that one time: she had to remember to ask for that again.
That was one of the best things about an arrangement like this: neither of them felt any shame, anymore, about just asking for what they wanted. For all that there was no love - of course not, never love, that would ruin everything - there was trust and understanding. And that was worth everything.
"Okay?" she whispered, and he met her eyes with a little smile.
"Of course," he said, himself again for just a moment, "I'll tell you if I'm not, pet."
"Good," she nodded, and let the imperious mask slip back over her features. "There, that's better," she smiled, and threaded one hand into his soft hair.
"What do you want of me, Miss French?" he trembled, and his affected nervousness was delicious.
"I think 'Mistress' will suffice for now, don't you think?" she crouched down in front of him, tugged on his hair just a little too hard, "You've not been a good boy, Gold. Not at all. Have you?"
He shook his head, his eyes darkening as she grinned in approval.
"What have you done?"
He cleared his throat, "I've… I've lied. Cheated. Manipulated people."
"Yes," she said, softly, "What were you?"
"A bad, bad man."
"You deserve this, don't you? To have to work for what you want, to be made to kneel. You deserve this."
"Yes, mistress." He nodded, fighting to keep the smirk off his face, and she was tempted to laugh: the whole thing was so out of order, so different from how it usually went. She was a little but drunk off the power, and it was so strange to have Gold on his knees, to have him begging, to have him shamed. He looked so different, without his power.
"And what are you now, tonight?"
He looked at her, caught her eyes with a slow smile, "Your obedient slave, mistress."
She felt a flash of pure lust pass through her, a little whimper escaping as she wobbled to her feet. She leaned back against the counter top, her hand in his hair stroking almost gently, but directing him to shuffle forward a little way, to bring his face - most importantly, that talented mouth of his - level with her soaked black panties. "What would you have me do, mistress?
"You're a clever boy, Gold," she said, "figure it out."
He grinned against her skin as he kissed her exposed midriff first, and then hooked his fingers into the waistband of her underwear and drew them down, letting them fall to the floor at her feet. She kicked them away, as he stroked one finger up through her folds, and grinned, "Like this, mistress?"
She made a little noise, a small moan, and nodded, her hand in his hair pressing him against her, "Your mouth, slave, on me, now."
He made a noise, a little growl of approval, and buried his tongue where his fingers had been, delving through her wetness and lapping her into a frenzy, so her hips were rocking against his face, her hand tugging and pulling at her hair as he licked and licked and licked.
He drew her clit between his lips and sucked, just the way he knew she liked it, as he thrust two fingers up inside her. She came with a little cry, head thrown back, and he kept going at the same pace, working her through it until she forced his head away and straightened up. "Enough."
He kept his eyes down submissively, but she could see the smile creeping at the corners of his mouth, the sheen of her juices on his lips.
"Have I pleased you, mistress?"
"I think that earned you a few days," she agreed, smiling, breathless. She pulled the tie from around her neck, and wrapped it around his mouth, tying it in a knot at the back of his head as a gag, "Let's try for a few more, shall we?" she asked, and he nodded furiously, his eyes full of want as she crept a hand down and cupped his hardness through his jeans.
This was going to be a good night.

Republicans simply don't want to work with Obama
To the Editor:
By the time you read this letter , the United States and especially Virginia will be in sad shape and of course it will all be blamed on President Obama.
It's tough to try to work with Congress when they have no intention of working with you. The tea party is already claiming that this will really make them look good. On CNN the other night Sen. Lindsey Graham was stating, "I can tell you one thing we're not going to do and that's raise taxes on the upper class" meaning rich, and House Majority Leader Eric Canton making a statement that things could have been done different.
Well pardon my English but why the heck didn't he use his influence to try and work with Obama instead of always criticizing him. The Republicans made the statements before Obama finished his inaugural speech that they had no idea of working with him period. So why do the Republicans argue Obama takes it to the people, when they don't even listen to him.
Going back to the Lindsey Graham and aation raising taxes on the rich; it was an ambassador from Norway on CNN about two months ago and he was asked if you make $1 million dollars, How much would you pay in taxes? And he stated at least 50 percent.
Warren Buffet is probably one of the richest men in the U.S. and said his secretary pays more taxes than he does.
Not only is this going to downgrade the US. military defense but it's going to put us in an unbearable situation if someone like Iran start something with Israel on the US and China and Russia get into it and we have cut as low as we can we won't be ready in my opinion. I could go on and on but I would like to say one other thing. Everyone knows why most of the people in this country and especially in Virginia in my opinion its because of the color of his skin and they can't stand it.

Buffett Ups Bet on Satellite TV
By Sam Mattera - August 19, 2013 | Tickers: DTV, DISH, INTC
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has liked satellite TV for years. The firm began accumulating a stake in DirecTV (NASDAQ: DTV) in 2011, and now owns about 6% of the company.
In the most recent quarter, Berkshire bought shares of DirecTV's competitor, DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH). It's a much smaller stake, only about 500,000 shares, but Buffett obviously sees something of value in the sector.

Should You Love or Hate TiVo?
By Dan Moskowitz - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: CMCSA, DTV, DISH, TIVO
TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO) is both loved and hated on Wall Street. The DVR pioneer's unusually high proportion of shorts think shares have only risen because of the broader market's rally, while longs think the stock has more room to rise on its own merits. As you'll see below, one of these factions has much better odds of being proven right.

Is DISH Dependent on a Dovetail Deal?
By Bob Chandler - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: DTV, DISH, TMUS
DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH) looks like it might be in a tough spot. After a foiled takeover attempt of Sprint and an unsuccessful bid for Clearwire, the company might need to quickly find a synergistic partner if it wants to maintain its current market price. Wall Street seems to have more than fully valued the two parts of DISH's business, its core satellite-TV operation and its potentially valuable wireless more »
People Like Choosing When to Watch TV
By Marshall Hargrave - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: DTV, DISH, TIVO
TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO) remains the pioneer for digital video recorders (DVRs), which allows people to record and watch TV. TiVo now boasts some $625 million in cash on its balance sheet, or $4.90 per share. Its current cash position makes up 45% of the company's market cap, and its net current asset value (current assets less total liabilities per share) is a robust $2.25.

What Makes Comcast a Worthwhile Investment?
By Ashit Gulati - August 12, 2013 | Tickers: CMCSA, DTV, DISH
Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) recently reported strong second quarter results. With consistently growing demand for broadband due to rising popularity of various internet enabled devices coupled with strong collections from "Fast & Furious 6," which propped up growth in the NBC Universal division, Comcast ended the second quarter on a high note.
Overall, the company posted solid growth, as its revenue stood at around $16.2 billion, up 7% year-over-year, while the more »
Dished Unconscious Capitalism
By Joshua Caldon - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, DISH, NFLX
My last article, How to Profit From a Better World, extols the virtues of conscious capitalism. Conscious capitalism is a guiding belief for certain companies, like Whole Foods Market, in which these companies minimize their focus on profit maximization and instead focus on increasing value for multiple stakeholders, including employees and customers. The idea is that by maximizing value for all the company's stakeholders profits will follow and everybody more »
From a Sprint to a Walk?
By Marshall Hargrave - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: T, DISH, S
Billionaire Bill Einhorn of Greenlight capital has recognized the slowdown in Sprint Nextel's (NYSE: S) rise to fame. The stock is up over 60% during the past two years. Per his recently released 2Q investor letter, Einhorn announced that his hedge fund was exiting its long position in Sprint. At the end of 1Q, Einhorn's Greenlight owned 21.5 million shares.

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold

Now that Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH) CEO Charlie Ergen has lost out on both Sprint and Clearwire, everyone is wondering what his next move will be. Chances are he's following the adage of "revenge is a dish best served cold," which means that he's calculating his next move.

How Will This Acquisition Saga End?

Many on Wall Street had thought that Leap Wireless (NASDAQ: LEAP) could become the next Clearwire, and start an all-out bidding war in the quest for spectrum. However, there is now reason to believe that Leap investors could have the most to lose.

The Paid TV Industry Could See a Wave of Mergers
By Sam Mattera - July 15, 2013 | Tickers: CHTR, DTV, DISH, TWC
Despite fears of cord-cutting, paid-TV providers could make great near-term investments. The industry looks to be on the verge of a massive era of consolidation, and that could benefit shareholders.
In particular, it's possible that DirecTV (NASDAQ: DTV) could merge with Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH), while Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) could join up with Charter Communications (NASDAQ: CHTR).

Is This Telecom Services Contractor Worth More Than You Think?
By Robert Hanley - July 10, 2013 | Tickers: DTV, DISH, MBND |
Telecom services contractor Multiband (NASDAQ: MBND) agreed to sell out to privately-held Goodman Networks in May 2013 for roughly $70 million, or $3.25 per share in cash. Goodman, an engineering services company, seems to have been attracted to Multiband's growing engineering services unit that constructs public telecom and energy infrastructure assets on a project basis. However, Multiband is also the #2 field services provider for DirecTV (NASDAQ: DTVmore »)

After Losing Sprint Bid, What's the Next Target?
By Mohsin Saeed - July 2, 2013 | Tickers: DISH, S, TMUS
Dish's (NASDAQ: DISH) attempts to acquire Clearwire and Sprint have failed. It was outbid on both occasions by Sprint and Japanese telecom giant Softbank. The company might have given up on Sprint and Clearwire, but that doesn't mean it has given up on its telecom ambitions. There are a lot of speculations on the company's next acquisition target. I believe that there are strong indications Dish will more »

The boutique firm Moffett Research upgraded shares of DirectTV (NASDAQ: DTV) and Dish Networks (NASDAQ: DISH) to "buy" on Thursday. The firm's "buy" rating was not fundamental in nature, but rather based on the possibility of a merger. With that said, will this "merger" ever occur?

DirecTV (NASDAQ: DTV) is just a cable company to many people. But in actuality, it's the largest satellite television provider in the United States. Its 20 million subscribers far exceeds the 14.1 million subscribers for Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH).

(positive vs. negative liberty, yay)
"But they don't really believe in freedom — freedom to. They believe in freedom from."
(positive vs. negative liberty, yay)
I'm not the person to comprehend the emotion associated with the typical
communal social reaction to events like today's. …We "feel", but none of us "comprehend". But, hopefully, I can offer suggestion as to what could (again — "hopefully") come next.
A discussion.
I don't think I have a stance—a coherent one—on gun laws. There should be laws, but we do have that looming Amendment in the room. I think I like the Swiss model (of lots of things), but I've never really debated it. I'm pro-… something, but I haven't really defined it.
We need to have a discussion about something. About what it means to "keep and bear arms" and form "militias" because it's "necessary to the security of a free state". And we need to talk about what it means when one side says it's about the Constitution and the other side says it's about… today.
We need to be able to come back from this vapid, partisan posturing—as soon as that's over—and start talking again. Because there are some pretty important things that we are apparently getting wrong. There are, quite frankly, other things on our agenda.
Because… well, today happened.
Here is a paradox: two men's beliefs can be equally true, but not equally valuable, even though they are beliefs about the goodness or badness of something. […] The sick man dislikes what he tastes, and will be glad when the doctor, as we should say, restores his normal appreciation of good food or, as Protagoras would have it, makes his unpleasant food both seem and be pleasant to him. But with moral values the case is different. If what a city thinks just and fine is just and fine for it so long as it thinks so, it will not want its views or its laws changed nor, one would have thought, ought they to be changed.
Earlier, Guthrie discussed the "might makes right" natural laws (physis) of Callicles and Antiphon. And I see unity at this point, for if natural "good" triumphs (as, by might, it most presumably would) then it would expand its hold, its influence, it's societal base.
Ah, but society isn't swayed by the sword alone. Enter the sophists, in all their hubris. When Protagoras (and pretty much anyone who has or will ever quote him) says that man is the the measure of all things, suppose we consider it contextually. Suppose we take it to mean, as is fairly obvious, that what a man considers good is good for that man — not simply that "I like candy; candy is good for me" but more "I value truth, even though I hurt myself by lying"; a long-term moral system, regardless of whether the man is virtuous enough to stick to it. (For bonus points: this is also perfectly existentialist.) Protagoras, as a sophist, was in the business of teaching rhetoric; apart from Plato's dialogues, we don't have much of an idea as to the degree of Protagoras's use of rhetoric. Specifically, I'm curious as to his use of rhetoric with his students.
Because if you're teaching morality and then equipping your students to do the same, that's some serious proselytization. Protagoras was very clear as to whence ariseth "good", and he was well equipped to promote his "good" in just this way — without the sword.
Consider cultural assimilation — if you have a democracy next door to a monarchy, there will be an interchange of ideas such that one or both will be undermined. Or perhaps there's some equilibrium wherein the democracy is full of strong leaders and informed citizens, and the monarch is strong and backed by competent loyalists. But if that's disturbed — by a cycle of elections or successions or the like — that cultural interchange will pressure a change.
Or, even more bluntly — look at the US military in the Middle East: it was a pretty decisive victory. At least, by the sword. But, culturally, it's been a complete mess.
It seems pretty clear to me that, on that next level, a "good" system is one that propagates and solidifies (as in "solidarity", not… "brittle" and "rigid") its ideals, its morals, its "good". And it must be able to stand the test of both physics and ideas. You can't have a "good" society that's physically weak (think "health"); it can't be morally weak either. Don't get me wrong: I'm not interested in silencing dissension — I'm interested in answering it, in building a system that is increasingly unassailable. …Er, not militarily.
Of course, "morality" is vague… and I think that, in my exploration, maybe I've evolved it to the point where I should just abandon that word for all its ambiguity. But I haven't found another just yet. Maybe it's just "order" — the lack of contradiction. Or "justice" — order with some degree of explicit rules, "fairness", etc. I don't know.
And it drives me… misanthropic… to not hear everyone wondering the same.

The only words which Aristotle here ascribes to Lycophron as a description of law are 'a guarantor of men's rights against one another'[….] The limitation of the law to the negative role of protecting the citizens against each other had been put forward earlier as an ideal by Hippodamus[….] In his ideal state he would allow three indictable offenses only, which may be translated as insult, injury (to person or property) and murder. […] Lycophron and Hippodamus would have agreed with J. S. Mill that the only purpose for which law could rightly be enforced against a member of the community was to prevent harm to others; his own good, physical or moral, was not sufficient warrant. In Aristotle's eyes this ignores the real purpose of political association, which is to ensure not simply life but the good life. He would have sided with Lord Simonds, who in 1962 pronounced it 'the supreme and fundamental purpose of the law to conserve not only the safety and order but also the moral welfare of the State', and his general conception would be close to that of Lord Devlin, that 'what makes a society is a community of ideas, not political ideas alone but also ideas about the way its members should behave and govern their lives'.
Guthrie, The Sophists
At the end of the 20th century, outside the U.S., age of consent laws were expanded to include same-sex acts, due in part to growing tolerance of homosexuality and desire to reach those at risk of AIDS. In the first half of the 20th century, all the European nations, other than Italy and Turkey, that had followed the Napoleonic code in treating heterosexual and homosexual acts alike had recriminalized homosexual acts, either establishing a total ban or an age of consent higher than that for heterosexual acts. In the last quarter of the century, arguments that boys developed later and needed to be older to appreciate the social consequences of homosexual acts began to fade.
Stephen Robertson, "Age of Consent Laws"
We can educate people about causal relationships — that's why, at some point, we accept that a child can cross the road by himself… successfully. At some point, we let children use knives. Etc. etc.
In many countries, sex isn't a normal topic of conversation. It's not "taboo", it's just "mature". Which is shit, obviously. I posit that we trust ourselves so little in the face of pleasure vs. restraint, we pass on that insecurity. We societize that insecurity, much as many places have societized homosexual stigmas.
We shit in these recesses of society. We try not to talk about those piles of shit. They don't get cleaned up in any respectable length of time. And then we legislate around them.
That there is a difference of mood and emphasis between the two poets no one could deny. It cannot be explained on chronological grounds, yet in a way they do stand for two generations, because Euripides was so much more attracted that Sophocles to the modern, sophistic currents of thought. Like Protagoras, he knew that there were two sides to every question, and he enjoyed as much as Hippias the 'contest of words' in which his characters indulge. The debate between Theseus and the herald as to whether the dead warriors should be buried develops into a set piece on absolute monarchy versus democracy. Although it is clear where Euripides's sympathies lie, the herald is no caricature of a bombastic tyrant's minion, but an accomplished sophist and orator. My city, he says, has no use for mob-rule. No one can sway it this way or that by playing on its vanity, pleasing it for the moment but in the long run harming it. Since a whole demos cannot judge arguments correctly, how can it direct a city? Education takes time, and even if a labouring man is no fool, his work prevents him from giving proper attention to public affairs. (Why have these arguments a familiar ring? Is it Socrates in the Gorgias who complains that orators in a democracy lay theselves out to flatter the demos rather thna tell it what will be for its good, and Socrates again who said, like Hume, that 'poverty and hard labour debase the minds of the common people' and unfit them for politics, which was a matter for trained experts.) Failure (continues the herald) to comply with Creon's demands means war. You may hope to win: hope has been the cause of many a conflict. Everyone thinks that its misfortunes will fall on others, not himself. […] If, when the vote is taken, each citizen could visualize his own death in battle, Greece would be safe from war-madness. We all know how much better peace is than war, yet we renounce it in our lust to enslave one another, as men and as cities. A wise man thinks of his children, his parents, and the safety of his country. A rash leader is a danger: true courage lies in forethought.
Guthrie, The Sophists
It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.
- Mitt Romney
The news is abuzz with partisan posturing and commentary about partisan posturing and feelings about the commentary about partisan posturing. What he said, what she meant, and the like. People are dead. And these United States are still at war with… well, reality.
I can't imagine Obama sympathizing with the attackers. Not just from the perspective of "bad politics": beyond that, I don't gauge him to be interested in sympathizing with the type of people we hold responsible.
But I will.
I will sympathize with their ignorance. I will sympathize with their lack of direction. And with their confused, objectless rage. With their knuckle-dragging hatred. Their backward convictions. Their narrow view of life.
We must listen. We must learn. And, in time, we must teach. What else can we do? Kill?
How well has that been working for us?
In Hershey, Pennsylvania, a woman in her late thirties approached us. She asked for the names of some people she could talk to, because she felt alone and isolated. Her neighbors have been polarized by politics masquerading as values. She cares about the well-being of the people in her community. She wishes they, and the rest of the nation, would listen to one another with kindness and compassion. Listen to one another rather than yell at each other. I told her then, and I tell her now, that she is not alone.
- Sister Simone Campbell
That's not politics, sister. That's partisanship.
That's what we're left with when we forget that the thing that makes values so goddamn important in the first place is our investment in them. When we forget that values aren't something that you're handed; they're not some list scrawled on a note card that you pass around. They're something you develop.
And regardless of whether they're rationally grounded (or even understood), they're personally felt. They inform our feelings. They define who we are. They are the basis of politics. But for now, we're left with those note cards. And we're left with the yelling. And we're left with those inauthentic feelings, that ignorant indignation at non-realities that's perpetuated in an external haze that suppresses the apparent need for individual thinking.
And for individual feeling.

ultimately led to the Bruinsburg road. A local black man warned
McClernand that Confederate troops (Tracy's Alabamians) were approaching
from that direction. McClernand sent Peter Osterhaus's division to meet
this threat on the Union left flank.
Meanwhile, Tracy got an urgent message to send a regiment and a
section of artillery to reinforce the hard-pressed Green on the Rodney
road. At this point, the Rebels had only 2,500 men present on the field;
cooperation between Tracy's and Green's widely separated wings was
essential but difficult because of the terrain.
Help was on the way. William Baldwin rushed his brigade forward to
the fight. The Missouri brigade, led by able Colonel Francis Cockrell,
waited impatiently at Grand Gulf. Bowen had been unwilling to gamble
that Grant had given up the idea of crossing at Grand Gulf. Once he
arrived on the battlefield about 7:30 A.M., Bowen recognized his error.
A courier raced to Grand Gulf with orders for the Missourians to hurry
to Port Gibson.
While the Confederates waited for reinforcements, Osterhaus pressured
Tracy's wing, using his superiority in numbers to great effect. The
timely arrival of another Alabama regiment from Vicksburg helped, but
suddenly the Rebels suffered a crisis in leadership. Tracy fell dead
from a Union sharpshooter's bullet. Colonel Isham Garrott assumed
command but had no idea of Tracy's battle plan. Garrott asked for
instructions from Green and received a vague reply to maintain his
position "at all hazards."
Osterhaus continued to extend his line in both directions, but
Garrott's men, thanks to their tenacity and geographical factors,
thwarted Yankee attacks. Finally, Osterhaus decided on a thrust at the
Confederate right while massing for an all-out assault on Garrott's
center. Then Osterhaus hesitated and waited until Grant, who had arrived
at the front, sent a brigade from Logan's division.
On the Rodney road, General Green's small force had been routed by
Carr's and A. P. Hovey's divisions. Two cannon from the Virginia
Boutetort Artillery had been lost (the Virginia artillerymen were the
only participants from that state in the Vicksburg campaign) as well as
a caisson and 200 prisoners. Although the terrain had aided Green's
stand near the Magnolia Church ridge, he had been heavily outnumbered.
Bowen sent Green's shattered command to the right wing to help
General Baldwin's brigade arrived from a forced march through a
chaotic Port Gibson to take up the fight for the Confederates on the
Rodney road. Cockrell's Missourians made a quick march from Grand Gulf
and waited in reserve on Baldwin's wing. Bowen now called in all his
troops guarding the Bayou Pierre and Big Black waterways.
On the Bruinsburg road, Osterhaus renewed his attacks on Garrott,
gradually caving in the Rebel right flank. At 5 P M Green, senior
commander on the scene received a message from Bowen to hold out until
sunset. If Green could not take the offensive by then, he could retreat.
Green, aware the day was lost, thought sunset was close enough and
ordered a withdrawal.
The 6th Missouri Confederate regiment, isolated from the other
commands on the Bruinsburg road, narrowly escaped being captured during
the retreat. By faking an attack, most of the Missourians managed to
escape, although the 49th Indiana recognized the ruse in time to bag 46
prisoners. The rest of Green's command retreated across Bayou Pierre
toward Grand Gulf.
While victory had finally come on the Union left, McClernand's blue
column on the right had encountered stubborn opposition after Green's
defeat. McClernand and Richard Yates, the governor of Illinois, along to
observe the battle, had made political speeches before Grant quietly
urged pursuit of the retreating Confederates. The Yankee pause gave John
Bowen valuable time.
On the Rodney road, Bowen anchored his new defensive line in front of
a narrow ridge between the White and Irwin branches of Willow Creek.
Bowen had decided that he would develop his defense in this lower
terrain after observing the action on the broad Magnolia Church ridge.
There his troops had been susceptible to artillery fire. Down in the
bottom, the ravines and vegetation gave the Confederates better
Bowen's strategy worked for several hours as the battle along the new
Rebel defensive line developed into a bloody stalemate. But Bowen feared
that the Federals might extend their lines southward to a road that led
around his position into Port Gibson. He ordered Cockrell's reserve
beyond the Confederate left to assault the Yankee right.
Hovey saw Cockrell's column and tried to get reinforcements to the
danger point. Before he acted, the Missourians attacked, devastating
James Slack's Union brigade. But massed artillery and superior numbers
of Union infantry soon forced the Missourians to retreat grudgingly.
His right secured, McClernand tried to whip Baldwin as he had beaten
Green, with a massed frontal assault. The Confederate position here was
stronger, and Green's and Cockrell's attack had drained some of the
forces McClernand counted on for his attack. So McClernand let the
battle develop on its own, but his numerical advantage, enhanced with
the arrival of two brigades from Logan's division, eventually collapsed
the Rebel left.
Bowen ordered a retreat, and his men escaped north across Bayou
Pierre and its fork, Little Bayou Pierre, firing bridges behind them.
Outnumbered more than three to one, Bowen and his subordinates had
fought brilliantly, delaying Grant from just after midnight until near
sunset of May 1, inflicting 875 casualties on Grant's army while losing
787. The little Confederate force at Port Gibson had bought Pemberton
time; it remained to be seen how well he would use it.
A victorious Grant decided to keep up the pressure while he had
momentum. He had considered turning south to join Nathaniel Banks and
attack Port Hudson. But Banks was currently operating on the Red River
and could not effect a junction for several days. So Grant left Port
Hudson to Banks, who had the Federal XIX Corps, which considerably
outnumbered Rebel defenders.
Pemberton decided to abandon Port Hudson and had wired Franklin
Gardner to rush his forces to Vicksburg. But President Jefferson Davis
intervened, wiring Pemberton, "To hold both Vicksburg and Port Hudson is
necessary to a connection with the Trans-Mississippi." Davis should have
left such a decision to his field commander, and Pemberton, his
confidence badly shaken by the loss of Port Gibson and subsequently
Grand Gulf, should have protested. Pemberton, however, immediately
wired Gardner to remain in the Port Hudson works with 2,000 men (about
5,000 reinforcements later joined Gardner's force).
On May 21 Banks's army began siege operations. The siege of Port
Hudson included two desperate assaults by Federal troops, including
Louisiana blacks fighting for the Union, on May 27 and June 11, both of
which were beaten back by equally desperate Rebel defenders.
Confederate operations in Louisiana intended to relieve Port Hudson
failed but kept Union forces occupied and constantly on the alert. A
frustrated Banks could not force a surrender until July 8, four days
after Pemberton's surrender of Vicksburg made Port Hudson untenable.
Grant decided to move north-northeast, feinting toward the Big Black
with his true objective being the Southern Railroad that connected
Jackson and Vicksburg. Once astride this Confederate supply line, Grant
could turn west and attack Vicksburg. Grant marched with two corps,
McClernand's XIII and James McPherson's XVII. Sherman had abandoned his
Snyder's Bluff demonstration and was hurrying his XV Corps to join
Grant. When Sherman arrived, Grant would have a force of some
Wagons from a beachhead established at Grand Gulf kept Grant's army
supplied. After the war, Grant originated a myth, perpetuated by many
historians ever since, that when he left Port Gibson and moved toward
central Mississippi he cut his supply line. His army lived off the land,
he said. The truth is that well-supplied wagon trains trailed the army
A nervous John Pemberton decided that to counter Grant's march, all
Confederate troops must be consolidated west of the Big Black to protect
Vicksburg. Pemberton never considered taking the offensive, despite the
urging of some of his officers. Joseph Johnston had wired Pemberton on
May 1 to unite all his forces to strike Grant, even if that meant
abandoning Vicksburg. The wire gave good advice but arrived too late to
keep Grant from winning at Port Gibson. Pemberton would have ignored
Johnston anyway. President Davis had said to hold Vicksburg, and
Pemberton had learned in South Carolina that if ordered to hold a spot,
he must do so.
When William Loring arrived on the battle front above Port Gibson, he
took command of Confederate forces and led a retreat to the Big Black at
Hankinson's Ferry. Reinforcements from Vicksburg arrived, and Loring had
an opportunity to strike McPherson's corps, temporarily isolated as the
Yankees spread out on a broad front moving northeast. Loring, seemingly
reflecting Pemberton's defensive state of mind, let the chance go
Loring led his troops north toward Pemberton's concentration area
between Edwards and the Big Black. Pemberton had received intelligence
reports that Grant was headed for the railroad near Edwards. Pemberton
intended to place his main battle line along the high bluffs on the west
bank of the Big Black.
What if Grant decided to attack Jackson instead? Loring persuaded
Pemberton to send a detachment east just in case. Brigadier General John
Gregg, on his way to reinforce Pemberton from Port Hudson, received
orders to take his brigade of some 3,000 men to Raymond. Gregg was to
keep an eye out for the enemy but not to fight if outnumbered. Pemberton
was risking isolating much needed troops, especially with only a small
number of state cavalry, inexperienced compared to Yankee veterans,
available to screen Gregg's position. Through confusion of orders,
regular Confederate cavalry intended to assist Gregg had been sent in
the wrong direction.

The Dike along the Maurice River has been problematic for months, but on Sunday the Dike gave way leaving many lives in limbo.
"We're afraid of losing our homes, everything floods. Its terrible," resident and business owner Ruth Lupton said.
Living in limbo, Ruth Lupton owns a marina and is just one of many here along the Maurice River whose life has been turned upside down because of the breached dike and the access road it washed away.
"We've been shut down since October. No one can get here. We can't get any customers. This is normally when people give deposits and give us an income. We have no income," Lupton added.
The county road connecting Maurice River Township to the marinas was repaired for $70,000 after Hurricane Sandy, it is now destroyed again because of the breach. The marinas are the lifeblood of this community. They say without this road their businesses could soon be underwater.
"That's our income, that's our incoming traffic. It's the only way anybody can get here," Lupton added.
The only way residents can come and go now is with a narrow bike path. Officials say this is unacceptable.
"If this road is not fixed because of this dike then yes, in just a year or two if one further breach is made on that small bike path dike then yes there is ramifications for 50 to 100 million dollars for this Maurice River basin," land board use chairman, Ben Stowman said.
County and township leaders say they are frustrated. The problem was patched before, but they knew it wouldn't hold for long.
"Unless the DEP decides to fix this dike. It was a dike that they are required to maintain, haven't maintained and now they have jeopardized the lively hood of several businesses," Don Olbrich from Cumberland County Public Works said.
NBC 40 reached out to the DEP and they say a construction crew will mobilize starting Wednesday to replace the 4000–foot levee. As for locals here, they say they want it done right, because they're lives depend on it.
The DEP says they will raise the dike to 8.2ft above sea level.
Township officials are asking residents to stay away from the area until it is deemed safe.

"These findings demonstrate the unexpected impact that mental and physical stress can have on our bodies," Will Rowe, chief executive officer of the American Pain Foundation, said in a news release. "In addition to stress and other health effects of the recession, this survey indicates there is an actual physical effect that translates into pain and injuries for Americans working harder to keep up with the tasks of daily life. As many of us take on more at work and at home to cope with economic uncertainty, it is important not to do it at the expense of our health."
The survey, released Sept. 21, was funded by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio, a work that is both elegiac and virtuosic, sets the tone of this recording. Dedicated to his friend Nikolay Rubinstein with the French epigraph "A la memoire d'un grand artiste," it shows great originality in its dimensions and style. A similarly ambitious work is Arensky's Trio Op.32, which is also dedicated to the memory of a musician - the cellist Karl Davidov (1838-89). This gem of chamber music, much less often played, constitutes the true discovery of this program, which features the celebrated French ensemble Trio Wanderer.
Gramophone Magazine, February 2014
The pianist, Vincent Coq, is both brilliant and sensitive, taking great trouble over balance with the strings while dazzling the ear with his lightly scintillating virtuosity in the more sparkling variation movements.

Sharks coach McLellan out after stick hit to head
ST. PAUL, Minn. - San Jose Sharks head coach Todd McLellan has left his team's game at Minnesota after being hit in the head with a stick on the bench.
The team said he was alert and responsive. Wild doctors were treating the injury after McLellan was struck early in the second period on Sunday night.
McLellan was down on the bench during a stoppage of play. A stretcher was wheeled across the ice for him, but McLellan was able to get up and walk to the locker room on his own, though he moved gingerly with his body bent forward.
Assistant coach Matt Shaw gave the Sharks a quick pep talk, and the game continued.

Guns, Drugs and Mission Work
- Monday, October 07, 2002
The men were yelling, and they had guns. Not toy guns, either. These weapons were real and aimed straight at Phillip LaRue, who was desperately trying to figure out what was happening.
Who was after him? What did they want? Were people really trying to poison him? Was it all a game?
The men made no sense—it wasn't English they were speaking—but their police uniforms and the way they'd pinned Phillip up against a chain-link fence made their point perfectly clear.
These were the mean streets of Caracas, Venezuela, and Phillip was in mucho trouble.
"I felt," he says now, "like I was in some strange dream."
But this was no dream. It was summer 2001, and Phillip was literally losing his mind on a street corner in South America all because of one little pill, a drug called Lariam that's prescribed to ward off malaria. In rare cases, it can produce severe psychological effects—including paranoia and hallucinations. With his mind careening out of control, Phillip had wandered away from his hotel and around the city, running and acting crazy until the police had caught up to him.
His recovery, physically and mentally, would take months.
A year later, Phillip and his sister Natalie—his partner in the pop/rock duo LaRue—are still working through the implications of what they now call "the Lariam experience." In hindsight, it was a defining moment, one that led them to reassess their lives, their music and their ministry.
"It was one of the most pivotal moments in my life," Phillip says. "It really broke me. It was humbling that this little drug could flip out my body."
Today, on the eve of releasing Reaching, their third album, both brother and sister are navigating the blurry line between youth and adulthood. Phillip turns 21 this month. Natalie will be 19 in December.
"We're at a new place," says Phillip, who has shorn his long, curly locks in favor of a masculine buzz cut. "So many things are happening in our lives at one time. This record's coming out, we just signed on with a new management company and my dad is going to stop going on the road with us. I'm really at a place where I'm stepping up; God is really cornering me. It's my time to begin to be a leader."
Natalie, too, sees change. "When I started [in ministry], in all honesty I didn't like meeting people," she reveals. "I didn't like surface conversations... But God used my serving Him in music to really break a lot of personality quirks and challenge me to become a confident woman of God."
The pair was just 17 and 15 when they released their self-titled debut in 1999. "We were just a couple of kids from Arizona," Phillip says. "We didn't know what the Christian [music] industry was."
Growing up under stage lights, LaRue's idealistic expectations went out the window. "There was such a huge pressure when we got into this industry of portraying an image of perfection," Phillip says. "You have about 10 people sitting around you telling you what you should and shouldn't say or how you should look. We had these different people saying, 'Oh you should do this or do that.'"
By the summer of 2001, when they boarded a jet for a South American missions trip, the LaRues were busier than ever--"non-stop chaos all the time," Natalie says. Three hundred and fifty kids were on the trip, and the LaRues were one of the prime attractions. A video crew was even on hand to chronicle the trip "Real World"-style.

Richmond, VA—Tumultuous weather is to blame for a shortage of leafy greens in central Virginia and around the nation, and now, shoppers are facing higher prices in grocery stores.
Different types of lettuce (including romaine, bib, and arugula), spinach, broccoli and cauliflower are all in short supply at various grocery chains. The shortage is due to weather in California, where the majority of these vegetables are grown. Some crops came in early, but several weeks of bad weather and cold damaged some crops.
This is a nationwide problem, and customers all over the country are being forced to pay more for these vegetables. But grocers say it's a short-term price increase: once the next growing cycle is completed, the prices should drop back to normal levels.

Zoloft Lawyers
If you or a loved one used Zoloft while pregnant and gave birth to a child with birth defects, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and receive compensation for your injuries. Multiple studies have found that taking Zoloft during pregnancy can increase the risk of serious heart defects or other birth defects.
Dangers of Zoloft
The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning that pregnant women who use Zoloft or similar antidepressants are more likely to give birth to a child with certain birth defects, including serious heart defects. Birth defects linked to Zoloft include:
- • Persistent pulmonary hypertension
- • Congenital heart defects
- • Craniosynostosis
- • Anal atresia
- • Omphalocele
- • Neural tube defects
- • Club foot
Medical studies show that the chances of serious birth defects increase greatly if the mother took the drug during the first trimester of pregnancy. If you suspect that your baby's medical condition was the result of Zoloft, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.

Today, President Bush thanked Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, who until recently served as the No. 2 commander in Iraq, for his service in Iraq. In attempting to apply the phrase "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory," Bush offered this nonsensical praise for Odierno:
I appreciate the fact that you really snatched defeat out of the jaws of those who were trying to defeat us in Iraq.
