Haiku Stairs, Oahu, Hawaii 21° 23′ 57″ N, 157° 49′ 23″ W
The Haʻikū Stairs, also known as the Stairway to Heaven or Haʻikū Ladder, is a steep hiking trail on the island of Oʻahu. The trail began as a wooden ladder spiked to the cliff on the south side of the Haʻikū Valley. It was installed in 1942 to enable antenna cables to be strung from one side of the cliffs above Haʻikū Valley to the other.
Marqueyssac Castle Gardens, France 44° 49′ 26″ N, 1° 9′ 46″ E
The Château de Marqueyssac is a 17th-century château and gardens located at Vézac, in the Dordogne Department of France. The château was built at the end of the 17th century by Bertrand Vernet de Marqueyssac, Counselor to Louis XIV, on cliffs overlooking the Dordogne Valley. The original garden à la française was attributed to a pupil of André Le Nôtre, and featured terraces, alleys, and a kitchen garden surrounding the chateau. Between 1830 and 1840, Julien Bessières constructed a chapel and a grand alley one hundred meters long for horseback rides. In the 1860s, the new owner, Julien de Cervel, began to plant thousands of boxwood trees - today there are over 150,000 - and had them carved in fantastic shapes, many in groups of rounded shapes like flocks of sheep. He also added linden trees, cypress trees, and stone pine from Italy, and introduced the cyclamen from Naples.
Saint Basil's Cathedral, Moscow, Russia, 55° 45′ 9″ N, 37° 37′ 23″ E
The Cathedral of the Protection of Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat or Pokrovsky Cathedral are official names for a Russian Orthodox church in Red Square in Moscow. It was built from 1555–61 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. St. Basil's marks the geometric center of Moscow (not to be confused with the geographic center, the Ivan the Great Bell Tower). It has been the hub of the city's growth since the 14th century and was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.
Musha Cay island, Bahamas, Caribbean, 23° 53′ 0″ N, 76° 15′ 0″ W
Musha Cay is a 150 acre (1/4 of a sq. mile), privately owned island in the Exuma Chain, in the southern Bahamas. It is located 85 miles (137 km) southeast of Nassau. It is owned by illusionist David Copperfield.
Musha Cay is surrounded by three smaller islands that maintain its guests' privacy. There can only be one group of guests, numbering up to twenty-four, at any one time. Google co-founder Sergey Brin was married on Musha Cay in May 2007. Howard Holtzman is the architect for Musha Cay.
Jungle pyramids, Palenque, Mexico, 17° 29′ 2.33″ N, 92° 2′ 46.79″ W
Palenque was a Maya city state in southern Mexico that flourished in the 7th century. The Palenque ruins date back to 226 BC to its fall around 1123 AD. After its decline it was absorbed into the jungle, which is made up of cedar, mahogany, and sapodilla trees, but has been excavated and restored and is now a famous archaeological site attracting thousands of visitors. It is located near the Usumacinta River in the Mexican state of Chiapas, located about 130 km (81 mi) south of Ciudad del Carmen about 150 m (164 yd) above sea level. It stays at a humid 26°C (79°F) with roughly 2160 mm (85 in) of rain a year.
Gaztelugatxe, Basque Country, Spain, 43° 26′ 49.2″ N, 2° 47′ 6″ W
Gaztelugatxe is a tiny island on the coast of Biscay belonging to the municipality of Bermeo, in Basque Country (Spain). It is accessed by a narrow path, crossing the solid stone bridge, and going up approx. 237 steps. On top of the island stands a hermitage, dedicated to John the Baptist, that dates from the 10th century, although certain discoveries indicate that the date might be the 9th century.

I want to expand on one of the links I embedded into a recent post called "The rise of the Angry Rich". The original post linked to a Krugman column. As support for his column, the Professor put up a couple of blog posts, one of which quotes Brad DeLong.
First Krugman:
Brad DeLong's post on Todd Henderson [one of the Angry Rich that Krugman alludes to in his column], the already-infamous whining Chicago professor who appears to be near the 99th percentile but feels poor, is worth reading for more than the takedown. Brad isn't the first to make this point, but his discussion of how rising inequality at the top — a fatter right tail in the income distribution — makes the objectively rich feel poor is exceptionally fine[.]
Now part of the DeLong article, which he quotes (my emphasis):
Cast yourself back to 1980. In 1980 a household at the bottom of the 1% rich households in America had an income equivalent in today's dollars $190,000 a year. They know of 1000 people–900 of them poorer than they are in income brackets 90-99% and 100 people richer than they are in the top 1% income bracket. The 900 people poorer than them back in 1980 had incomes from $85,000-$190,000 a year. Those are, if you are sitting at the bottom of the top 1%, the middle class who are not as successful as you. You don't look downward much. Instead, you look upward. Of the 100 above you, 90 in 1980 had incomes less than three times their incomes. And they would have known of 1 person of that 100 who was seven times as rich as they were.
Thus Professor Henderson in 1980 would have known who the really rich were, and they would on average have had about four times his income–more, considerably more, but not a huge gulf. He would have known people who were truly rich, and he would have seen himself as one of them–or as almost one of them.
Now fast forward to today. Today a household at the bottom of the 1% rich households in America has an income of nearly $400,000 a year–the income of that slot in the labor market has more than doubled, while the incomes of those at the slot at the bottom of the 10% wealthy has grown by only 20% in two decades. The 900 people he knows in the 90%-99% slots have incomes that start at $110,000 a year. Compared to Henderson's $455,000, they are barely middle class–"How can they afford cell phones?" Henderson sometimes wonders.
But he wonders rarely. … Instead, Mr. Henderson looks up. Of the 100 people richer than he is, fully ten have more than four times his income. And he knows of one person with 20 times his income. He knows who the really rich are, and they have ten times his income: They have not $450,000 a year. They have $4.5 million a year. And, to him, they are in a different world.
As I've said before, people have no idea how rich the really-rich really are. Paraphrasing Chris Rock — Shaq O'Neal is rich, but you don't want to be Shaq; you want to be the man who signs Shaq's check.
Per Barry Ritholtz, here are the estimated 2009 incomes of the top five hedge fund managers:
- David Tepper, Appaloosa Management — $4 billion
- George Soros, Soros Fund Management — $3.3 billion
- James Simons, Renaissance Technologies — 2.5 billion
- John Paulson, Paulson & Company — $2.3 billion
- Steve Cohen, SAC Capital Advisors — $1.4 billion
Remember, this is income, not net worth. These numbers were added to existing net worths in 2009 — a single year.
These folks aren't under the radar, but the degree of inequity is. The good news? As a great man once wrote, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." And the Angry Rich are getting really really mad. Time to apply Rule #3 — expose them while they're dancing in the headlights.

Raceland, La.- The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office located the body of 53-year-old Wayne Folse late Friday afternoon.
Folse went missing Thursday morning and was last seen around 10:30 a.m. when he reportedly left his place of business.
According to family members, Folse left Raceland Paint and Body Shop, located on LA Highway 1, to go to a hardware store and a bank both located on LA 1 south of his business place.
Investigators say Folse never made it to either destination, and family members and deputies have been unable to reach him since that time. It is also believed he could have headed to the Bayou Blue area too.
Authorities began their search Thursday afternoon when Folse's family initially reported him missing and the search continued overnight into Friday morning.
No details were available on the discovery of the body, but authorities do not suspect foul play in Folse's death.
Folse's body has been turned over to the coroner's office to determine an exact cause of death.

Zia Inayat Khan
Zia Inayat Khan (Urdu: ضياء عنایت خان ) (often referred to as Pir Zia) is the Pir or spiritual leader of the Sufi Order International, a universalist Sufi order, and the founder of the Suluk Academy and Seven Pillars House of Wisdom.
Khan is the son and successor to Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan as leader of the Sufi Order International, and grandson of Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, the founder of the order. Like his predecessors he practices universal Sufism, with sensitivity to classical Indian Sufism.
In addition to the interfaith mystical training he received from his father, Khan studied Buddhism under the auspices of the Dalai Lama, and Sufism in the classical Indian tradition of the Chisti Order. Khan is editor of A Pearl in Wine: Essays on the Life, Music, and Sufism of Hazrat Inayat Khan (Omega Publications, 2001). He holds a doctorate in Religion from Duke University.
|Part of a series on
|Universal Sufism
Continuing in the tradition of his father and grandfather, Khan offers seminars and trainings across North America, Europe, and India, as well as in a newly established school of esoteric studies, the Suluk Academy.
Planetary Prophetology and Interreligious Reconciliation[edit]
Following in the tradition of Sufi masters such as Ibn al-Arabi, Shihabuddin Suhrawardi, Dara Shikoh, the Indian Emperor Akbar, and Hazrat Inayat Khan, Khan upholds the idea of prophetic continuity, i.e. the idea that a single and universal force of divine guidance manifests throughout particular prophetic instantiations in time, space, and culture.[1] While according full respect to the particularities and distinctions of different religions and revelations, this view also holds that all religions and revelations epiphanize the universal, perennial, and ongoing disclosure of the Divine.[2] Khan affirms, however, that prophetic continuity and unity does not equal uniformity. The myriad manifestations of revelation in its distinctions and differences are an inherent and thus sacred expression of the whole. In his 2007 webcast, Khan explains this using the metaphor of DNA:
No religion serves the function of another, and yet, religions are not essentially different, although they are differentiated in function... [O]rgans are made of tissues, tissues of cells, and cells contain DNA, and every cell contains the DNA of the whole body -- so every organ contains in itself the total truth without anything absent. It is all fully present in each part, and yet that total truth is modulated, is customized by the cell so that each cell can contribute to the working of the whole, a whole that is not inorganic and homogeneous but is organic and differentiated, and so each cell needs to customize its divine dispensation to work cooperatively within the field of the whole, to contribute its part to the divine wisdom... This is a brilliant model for understanding the relationships of the divinely revealed religions, and the real possibility of imagining, conceiving, and making real the total religion that is the summation of all dispensations.[3]
In this view prophetic revelation is a birthright shared by all humanity, and as such offers a source for genuine interreligious reconciliation. While remaining firmly within one's own cultural and religious location, one can behold with full respect the Divine guidance as revealed in other traditions. Extending beyond interfaith dialogue, planetary prophetology supports the late Wayne Teasdale's concept of interspirituality, that is, the active, shared practice amongst followers of different religions. In this regard, Khan has hosted and participated in a number of "interspiritual" and Abrahamic gatherings, in addition to conferences of different Sufi masters.[4]
According to Khan, the mystical and esoteric currents of the worlds' religions in particular support this interpretation of universal Divine guidance, and play a critical role in the emergence of a new planetary consciousness. Mystical traditions, in their acknowledgement of a universal and ongoing force of divine guidance and revelation, provide the transformative foundations for a positive global civilization characterized by interreligious reconciliation.[3]
Spiritual Response to Ecological Crisis & Green Hermeticism[edit]
Khan has stated that a unique and compelling factor in contemporary mysticism is the current ecological crisis, which is a spiritual crisis as well as environmental, social, etc. Therefore, a spiritual response is warranted, and much of Khan's teaching focuses on acknowledging the intelligence and sacredness of the natural environment, as well as achieving states of prayerful communion therewith. For example, in his The Holy Mysteries of the Five Elements Khan draws from the purification practices of the Chishti tradition to emphasize how embodied spiritual practice brings one into direct contact with the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether), and in seminars offers practices in the contemplation of the natural world.
Mazhab-e Ishq & the Chishti heritage[edit]
While wholeheartedly affirming the universalist message of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Khan has also made efforts in reconnecting to an Islamic heritage, especially the classical tradition of Mazhab-e Ishq, the "Path of Love" in Sufism attributed to figures like Bayazid Bistami, Jelaluddin Rumi, Ayn al-Quzat Hamadani, as well as such theosophical masters as Ibn al-Arabi and Shihabuddin Suhrawardi.[5] Khan lifts up this Sufi tradition as a post-denominational, mystical alternative to the extremes of religious fundamentalism and secular materialism, and a viable contemporary path of personal transformation.[6]
Focussing also on the specific Chishti contributions to the Mazhab-e Ishq, Khan has also cultivated a profound intimacy with classical Chishti manuals of Sufism,[7] and reinvigorated interest in the Chishti silsila (or chain of transmission) amongst his mureeds (Persian for 'students'). Khan has delivered a series of lectures on the subject, as well as published a small handbook about the figures of the silsila based on research in Arabic and Indo-Persian sources.[8]
Training and Initiatic Transmission[edit]
Khan was trained in the universal mysticism of his father, Vilayat Khan, as well as the classical Sufi teachings of the Chishtiyya order. In his youth he also studied Buddhism under the auspices of the Dalai Lama while living in Dharamsala, India.[9]
Khan was made a Pir in the lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khaninvested by his father and Pir, Vilayat Khan, in the year 2000. This lineage includes transmission from four major Sufi orders of India, but the primary transmission is through the Chishti-Nizami silsila. (Chishti-Nizami refers to a branch of the Chishti order, founded in the 13th century C.E. by Moinuddin Chishti. Silsila, or chain, refers to the chain of transmission of baraka, the spiritual power and blessing of a Sufi order.) Khan is the thirty-ninth human link in this chain of transmission.[10]
Education and Publications[edit]
Khan received a master's degree in religious studies, and completed a Ph.D in religion at Duke University.
He published a number of instructional materials through Omega Publications and the Sufi Order International,[11] as well as editing A Pearl in Wine, a book of essays about Hazrat Inayat Khan. He wrote prefaces for the 1994 reprint of Henry Corbin's The Man of Light in Iranian Sufism and the 1996 reprint of Gelpke's translation of The Story of Layla and Majnun; an article entitled "Illuminative Presence" in Hart, Nelson, & Puhakka (Eds.) 2001 volume Transpersonal Knowing; and edits the biannual magazine Elixir. He also translated several unpublished Indo-Persian Chishti poems and texts used in seminars and classes.

This is the first installment of "Gifts from the Kitchen Gods" - a series of homages to the kitchen gadgets, appliances, and ingredients that have won our hearts by improving our lives, the food we cook, and the time we spend in the kitchen. Send in your own nominations via comments.
Early September 1998. My three best friends and I were moving into a run-down rental near campus at the start of our senior year of college. The house was a mess, but there was one small gem amidst the dirt, dust, and broken down furniture the previous tenants had left for us. A strange, white, plastic object with an electric cord had been left sitting on an empty bookcase in the kitchen.
My two friends and I stared at it with dubious distaste - it looked like some sort of odd sex toy (after all, who knew what the previous occupants were into?!) What was it? Should we throw it out? Yes, but then we'd have to touch it... Luckily, our third friend, Alison, whose mom ran a successful restaurant and catering business, swooped down on it with a beaming face. "Don't be stupid, guys, it's an immersion blender," she chided. "These things rock."
Alison was right. I adore my Braun immersion blender - an older model that my husband, Rahm (who I will refer to as "the sous-chef" moving forward because of his superior slicing and dicing skills) and I found at a yard sale about five years ago. It was definitely the best $5 I ever spent!
The immersion blender makes it easy and mess-free to blend soups and sauces right in the pot - no need to haul a hot, heavy pot over to a cuisinart or blender to blend its contents. And no need to pour the blended contents back into the pot to continue cooking, nor to wash the frikkin' cuisinart's many hard to clean pieces.
It gives you much more control over how much to blend things, too - it's very easy to partially blend a soup or sauce.
It is easy to handle, easy to clean, and relatively small. Counter space is in high demand in my tiny kitchen so anything that can be stored in a drawer is a plus for me.
Immersion blenders are pretty cheap, too. Even if you don't find one for $5 at a yardsale you can get a new one for between $30-$60 at a store near you. Or you can buy one online at Amazon - they carry a bunch of different models by Cuisinart and Kitchen Aid.

ah yes, the "immersion blender"...
i always thought it was called "my happy magic wand tool"
I purchased my first do-dad of this ilk earlier this year in Iceland, and went to town with it. The wonderful thing about kitchen gadgets like this in iceland/europe is that the current in the sockets is much stronger. Motors are therefore much more powerful, and blending wands get much more magical. The bad thing about that, is that you can't bring them to the states and plug them into our wimpy walls. SO, i had to leave it behind...
Imagine my surprise and joy to find one left behind by the previous tenants of my new apartment!! What is it about these things that makes hasty-packers leave them behind?

Kitchen jewel for me is the mighty ramekin. The ramekin is an unsung hero, a work horse (next metaphor, please). I use it to hold ingredients (sort of mise en place) while I am cooking, to hold garnishes for folks to put on their own dishes, to hold just the perfect amount of crema catalana, creme brulee or individual chocolate cake. It can be frozen or used in the oven (maybe even a microwave but, alas, we have never had one so I can't vouch from personal experience). It can also be used to hold butter in a make-shift bain marie (or honey - nothing like high quality honey warmed and drizzled over frozen yogurt or ice cream). Muliple sizes are another plus. I can never have enough.
Here's to the ramekin!

I second this nomination to the Kitchen tool hall of fame. Immersion blenders seem to be more popular outside of the US, I'm glad they are catching on stateside. For the second Gift From the Kitchen Gods, consider the microplane grater, they are incredible and a great value (Whole Foods has them for $9). It's wonderful to be able to zest a lemon without zesting your fingers!

The 50 fans clapped.
It is unknown what they did upon his exit, but it was proof that fans following the young phenom will clap at anything he does.
"It's pretty cool to have fans and be someone who they look up to. It's pretty special," Fowler said this past weekend at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. "I want to be a positive role model an don't someone who gets kids in trouble. I'd like to keep them following and keep the crowd growing."
And it's not all about 19- and 20-year-old coeds in Fowler's gallery, either. It's all shapes, sizes, ages and colors following around one of the games refreshing personalities. He spent nearly an hour after his round trying to oblige every autograph-seeker who came his way.
"He'll sign for as long as he needs to," said Fowler's caddie Joe Skavron. "He's great about it.
Often times, after Fowler swings, people in his gallery will hoot and holler things like, "YEAH Rickie," or "Way to go, Rickie." Boisterous outbursts you don't usually hear a lot from golf galleries.
"It's pretty cool," Fowler said. "Like I always say, it's better to have a lot of fans than no fans at all."

The Shackleton Whisky: Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt by Whyte & Mackay
This all but lost "rare old" recipe for blended Scotch whisky is a tale of two expeditions—one to bring it to its frozen resting place beneath the floor boards of the base hut located at Cape Royds, Antarctica, and a second one to recover it from there. Ernest Shackleton was one of the great explorers of his age and was able to secure not only funding for the 1907 Nimrod Expedition to the South Pole (provided in part by Edward Guinness of the Irish brewing family), but also provisions of whisky from the Mackinlay blending company plus quite a bit of brandy. Shackleton's story of adventure, strife, discovery, and leadership (and boozing) has been recounted much lately, and so here I'll focus on the results of the expedition undertaken by Al Fastier and his team from the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust to examine and conserve the 33x19 ft. Cape Royds base hut. They continued Shackleton's story by unearthing (de-icing?) the crate containing 23 bottles of a style of blended scotch that was popular during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. But the story goes on from there…
While the histories of archaeology and whisky do have overlaps through time, rarely has there been such a clear and away and intruiging case of this as the discovery of Shackleton's lost bottles. But because they are archaeological finds first and foremost (legally, anyway), their recovery was of potentially limited value to whisky drinkers— I mean, you can't simply open, serve, and ingest an archaeological artifact. But maybe if you're Richard Patterson, master blender at Whyte & Mackay, you can…. Under UNESCO international heritage law no artifactual find can be removed from its country of origin unless it is an approved sample for scientific purposes. Well, the Antarctic Heritage Trust responsible for the preservation of Antarctic material culture, based in New Zealand, worked with Whyte & Mackay (who became the owners of the Mackinlay brand) until they were able to reach a deal in which three of the artifacts in question could be treated as scientific samples.
And thus began a process similar to what can be termed 'experimental archaeology.' Generally, a researcher engaging in this approach to archaeology will find an artifact (or building, etc.) and attempt to duplicate it, using what they perceive to have been the tools and methods available to the ancients, and trial and error until the end product is identical (or nearly so) to the artifact. Thusly, this generates a better understanding of the ancient processes of production (and so, the true end result is not the duplication, but the knowledge gained from achieveing it). With the Mackinlay's bottles, Richard Patterson and his crack team may have been interested in discovering the nuanced differences between whisky production a hundred years ago and today…
But the true end goal here was to create what is certainly no longer available— the early 20th century Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky that Ernest Shackleton provided to his expedition and stored beneath the floor of his base hut. Ten of the eleven bottles that the conservation team thawed in New Zealand were perfectly intact, enabling Patterson's team to engage in an effective combination of laboratory, visual, and olefactory analyses.
By looking at the "cask extractives" present in the liquid Patterson was able to determine that Mackinlay's aged the scotch in sherry-seasoned, American white oak casks. Through the chemical components of the phenols present the lab team discovered that the peat was cut from bogs in the Orkney Islands (home to the Highland Park distillery). In order to reproduce the flavours and aromas detectable in the original spirit, Whyte & Mackay blended various Highland and Speyside malts such as Glen Mor and Dalmore, as well as several others, that had been aged anywhere from 8 to 30 years. I've heard that the very lucky few who were able to taste the original(!), such as Dave Broom, have indicated that the replica does indeed live up to Shackleton's own.
Both stories go on well past this point, and I implore everyone to delve further into both of them as well as other experimental booze recreations (such as Dogfish Head's Midas Touch, for instance). But it's time to raise a glass and taste some history. We'd like to thank the good people at Whyte & Mackay for providing the sample, but also Matt and Karen at WhiskyForEveryone for going through all the trouble to send it from the UK to sweet home Chicago. Cheers guys.
Abv: 47.3%
Color: Pinot Grigio
Legs: average; slow but oddly big for the abv.
Nose: creamy and musty, with fleshy plums, white chocolate, sweet peat, ferns or moss, a little pepper, and distinct lemony notes. Water brings out some floral notes.
Palate: orange pulp, toasted malt, spices (white pepper), a good bit of peat ember, and maybe a hint of lavendar. Smoky.
Body: substantial, sweaty, and weighty.
Finish: medium or more, with sweet roasted peanuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Overall: As Matt (of WFE) mentioned to me, it stands up on its own, but it's the story/ies of its recovery and recreation that set this historical recipe apart. But with a second tasting I gotta say that I really kinda like this thing, and I wish I had a full bottle. It's interesting and exciting, but it also intrigues and satisfies with a citrus-and-smoky combination that highlights a fairly complex dram. Good work all around, in my opinion.
Other Opinions: As this is a blend of several Highland and Speyside single malts, there's enough going on to give everyone plenty to write about. But the weighty, smoky style that Patterson recreated is apparent to all.
- Domonic Roskrow, at Malt Advocate, likes the lemony, smoky nose and the full, citrusy, peaty, and peppery palate, giving it a 92.
- The Whisky Boys give it 4 out of 5 "corks," citing the fruit, smoke, vanilla nougat, a bit of chocolate, and "a touch of pepper."
- Gal at Whisky Israel calls the crisp apple, toffee, smoked leaves, and "apricots dipped in rose water" on the nose with a powerful, smoky, and fruity palate of tea leaves with prunes and dark chocolate "splendid stuff."
- Yossi at the JSMWS sees a Springbank mixed with bourbon-aged Port Ellen and finds it "well balanced, composed and thoroughly delicious."
- And finally, our comrade in blogging, who made this post possible, Matt at WhiskyForEveryone does a masterful job (as usual) bringing you up to speed about the background of the original Mackinlay's blend. He gets a lot out of this replica, giving the nose a moment to unveil layers of vanilla, butterscotch, green and tropical fruits, walnuts, burnt sugar, musty peat smoke, et al. Then for the palate Matt notes a tangy sweetness followed by creamy richness and then peat smoke and wood spice. "A good dram in its own right." I'm starting see the walnut really come through on the nose, now that you mention it.

Levi's two-day total of 3-under-par 137 marks the highest score to hold the lead through the midway point of the championship since 1990 when Harold Henning and Gary Player shared the top spot.
The four players at the top are the only golfers under par at Firestone Country Club as high rough and slick greens have made play difficult.
One of the best golfers on the over-50 circuit struggled Friday as Tom Kite, one of the three co-leaders after the first round, shot a 3-over 73. He is tied for 10th at 1-over-par and is joined by a large group headlined by former champions Hale Irwin and Ray Floyd.
Jack Nicklaus, who has battled back injuries, opened with a 1-over 71 Thursday but did not play as well in round two. He shot an 8-over-par 78 and made the cut on the number at 9-over-par 149.
Had Nicklaus not carded an even-par 35 on his second nine Friday he could have missed the cut and in the process snapped one of the most impressive streaks in his storied career. Nicklaus has made every cut in a major tournament since joining the elder circuit in 1990, a streak that has now reached 46 consecutive championships.
'I don't worry about cuts - I'm more interested in hitting good shots,' said Nicklaus, who has been forced to withdraw from two majors on the Senior Tour. 'I was pretty pleased with the back nine. You know, I don't really worry about my injuries, it's just years of playing golf taking its toll. All I can do is take one shot at a time. Some days you are good and some days you aren't, and today I wasn't very good.'
Jim Thorpe, the first major champion of the year at The Tradition, is tied for fifth place with Jay Overton, Bobby Wadkins, Bob Gilder and Fuzzy Zoeller. The group stands at even-par 140.
Levi has only one top-five finish this season in 10 starts, a tie for fourth at the Farmer's Charity Classic two weeks ago. Levi won 12 times on the PGA Tour, including four wins in 1990 en route to being named PGA Tour Player of the Year.
Levi's brief career on the Senior Tour has been filled with ups and downs with the short stick. He took 32 putts in Thursday's round of 69 but only needed 24 to get around Firestone in the second round.
'The putting has been fairly poor, so that's what probably has kept me from doing better than I have,' said Levi, who ranks 62nd in putts per round on tour with an average of almost 30 putts a round. 'This poor putting has killed me, but I'm out here to win tournaments.'
Friday's second round was highlighted with more ups and downs for Levi. Levi shot an 1-under-par 34 on the front side with three birdies and a pair of bogeys.
At the turn, Levi was tied for the lead at 2-under-par but he broke out of the pack and drained the birdie putt to go to 3-under. Levi extended his lead two holes later when he played a 5-iron to 20 feet, where he cashed in on another birdie putt.
Levi did not take long to squander his edge. At the 15th, Levi blocked his tee ball into a right greenside bunker where he left his bunker shot on the fringe. He chipped to four feet and rolled home the bogey putt but still maintained a one-stroke lead.
Levi, who turned 50 in February, looked in great shape at the par-5 16th when he ripped one down the center of the fairway before he pushed his second shot in the right rough under a tree. Levi's third bounded off the green and his chip on to the green left him six feet from the hole, where he missed to fall back into a tie for first at minus 2.
He rebounded at 17 when once again he striped his drive down the fairway and played a 6-iron five feet behind the hole. Levi holed the birdie putt to take the 36-hole lead at 3-under-par.
'Early on I played a couple of bad shots but after that I started to settle down a little bit more and started hitting the ball quite well,' said Levi. 'There's a lot of tough holes out there. You have to keep at it.'
Nelson, Ziegler and Hall each posted rounds of 2-under-par 70 Friday and each player loved the level of difficulty that Firestone offers.
'(Firestone) feels more like the U.S. Senior Open than our Opens have been,' said Nelson, considered the best Senior player never to win a major on this tour. 'We haven't played a U.S. Senior Open course that's been as difficult. I think it's great. There's no reason to make our majors a pitch-and-putt.'
'I think this is the hardest, fairest course I've ever played. No gimmicks,' Ziegler said. 'Guys love coming here to play golf. We play so many courses where you feel like you're playing Mickey Mouse. They've got big, old rolly greens. It's not fun to play what they're building today.'
'Today is a great example of a perfect weather day to play, yet the scores are not low,' said Hall, a former salesmen. 'The course will not allow it.'
Tom Watson, the 2001 champion, struggled to a 6-over 76 Friday and shares 36th place at 5-over-par.
The 36-hole cut fell at 9-over-par 149 and 80 players advanced to the weekend.

Not finished yet! It's not the sort of book to sit down and read in one gulp. But I am still reading.
Did you get through Lost Things?
posted by lefty33 at 2:45 pm (EST) on Mar 1, 2009
I've read The Book of Lost Things several times and felt it was time for another reread. It's one of my favorites, so I am glad you are liking it as well!
I am still reading and enjoying The Magic Lands; I'm about halfway through. I'm always reading multiple books at once. When I read, I choose a book the same way everyone chooses which music to listen to. Just depends on my mood at the moment! I'm certainly not disappointed in The Magic Lands at all though!

Thanx! I'll try to convince my mom to let me order it on Amazon. She usually doesn't trust that, but I hope I'll be able to get it soon!

Hey Mark. I was book shopping at Chapters the other day, and I tried to find your book, but couldn't. I'm wondering.....did it get published in Canada too?

Greetings! I ordered Magic Lands from B&N with a gift card and it arrived today! Hopefully I'll get to start it tonight. Have a lovely day!

I live in Romania and don't import books as a rule due to cost. So I have no idea when I'll get to your book. Am heading back to the States this summer... maybe I'll see it then.

"I think that the God of Israel is with us." - Dr. Chaim Weizmann - November 27
- Wednesday, November 27, 2013
During World War I, Britain was ineffective manufacturing explosives, until a breakthrough in synthesizing acetone was made by Jewish chemist Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who was born NOVEMBER 27, 1874. In gratitude, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration, establishing a Jewish homeland. President Woodrow Wilson wrote to Rabbi Stephen Wise, 1918: "I think all Americans will be deeply moved by the report that...the Weizmann commission has been able to lay the foundation of the Hebrew University at Jerusalem." President Harry S Truman wrote to Dr. Weizmann, November 29, 1948: "I remember well our conversations about the Negeb...I agree fully with your estimate of the importance of the area to Israel, and I deplore any attempt to take it away from Israel. I had thought that my position would have been clear to all the world, particularly in the light of the specific wording of the Democratic Party platform." Truman continued: "I have interpreted my re-election as a mandate...to carry out...the plank on Israel... In closing, I want to tell you how happy and impressed I have been at the remarkable progress made by the new State of Israel." Dr. Weizmann wrote: "I think that the God of Israel is with us."

118 Beacon Street
Somerville, MA 02143
Named for both the flower and the fruit, Bergamot Restaurant in Somerville is the collaborative effort from chef Keith Pooler and General Manager Servio Garcia. From the semi-open kitchen and out into the warm, honey-hued dining room comes progressive American cuisine. The dishes, which are ingredient-driven with a focus on local product and seasonality, will occasionally (i.e. whenever Pooler wants to have a little fun) pull from French, Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean culinary traditions.
Bergamot, which makes its home in the Beacon Street storefront that most recently housed EVOO, features a full bar with a wide array of both classic and modern cocktails in addition to wine and beer.

KATE UPTON goes fully clothed and hides her cleavage on the cover of British Vogue's January 2013 issue.
Check her out:
It's strange to see Kate with all her clothes on, because every time we see her on a magazine cover, she's usually either totally naked, stripped down to her underwear, or clad in nothing but a skimpy bikini with her famous boobs on display.
For her new British Vogue cover, however, the sexy Sports Illustrated model covers up her curves in a clingy white Azzedine Alaia dress, with minimal makeup and with her blonde hair styled in waves.
Who new she could look so demure?

Nilay Patel wrote a wonderful piece at ThisIsMyNext.com explaining how this bill was much ado about nothing for the Let's Play crowd. Taken in a vacuum it seems bad, but since its just amending some existing copyright law, its got a pretty strict laundry list few, if any, Let's Play or machinema creators would meet.
vendeurfrancais said...
i believe you're probably talking about the clause wherein it says you need to be making at least 2500 off the stream or video. the problem is that profit is not defined in the bill, so youtubers in youtubes partner program could get in trouble, as could anyone with ads anywhere on their site. this bill is just something to put on the books so that federal agencies can have something to point to when they crack down on john smith who posted a video using a copyrighted song on youtube.
How to judge financial gain is in the original law this bill will modify. Its false thinking to think of this as a standalone bill and that's where all the confusion is. Reading this outside of the context of the already existing law its amending is misreading the intent of this bill.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Memorial Day, which kicks off summer activities, is right around the corner, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wants all boaters to remember to boat safely.
"Florida is a great place to enjoy boating year-round," said Col. Calvin Adams, director of the FWC's Division of Law Enforcement. "And even more people will be out on the water for the holiday weekend. Both the holiday and National Safe Boating Week (May 18-24) present an opportunity to emphasize the importance of remaining safe while boating," Adams noted.
Each year, FWC officers rescue around 1,000 people, many of them on the water. However, not everyone is so lucky. Ten people have already lost their lives this year due to boating accidents in Florida.
The FWC reminds boaters to enjoy their time on the water by taking a few safety precautions, such as remaining alert while operating a boat, wearing both a life jacket and engine shut-off switch at all times and designating a sober boat operator.
Statistics also show that more than 67 percent of the 55 boating-related deaths confirmed last year were attributed to drowning, which life jackets are designed to prevent.
To report people who are operating boats dangerously, call 888-404-FWCC or text email@example.com.
More information can be found by visiting MyFWC.com/Boating.

Dwight Howard (L) walks with General Manager Mitch Kupchak of the Los Angeles Lakers being introduced as the newest member of the Lakers at a news conference at the Toyota Sports Center on August 10, 2012 in El Segundo, California. The Lakers acquired Howard from Orlando Magic in a four-team trade.
Lakers' general manager Mitch Kupchak spoke with ESPN Los Angeles on Tuesday and revealed that he and other top members of Lakers' management have the "utmost confidence" in coach Mike D'Antoni, and they do not entirely fault the coach for the poor play.
"It's the coach's job to adjust and to make changes," Kupchak said. "Sometimes a player is just not going to fit. Sometimes a coach has to make changes and compromise in the way he's done things and I think that's what Mike is going through right now is just the process."
Kupchak was not as understanding when it came to the players. He questioned their effort on the court without placing blame on the coach.
"I'm a little bit concerned about our effort," Kupchak said clearly. "I'd like to see better effort on the court."
The Lakers' GM also reminded fans that this team has been struggling since Day One of the season (or preseason, rather). They have never looked near the level most imagined when the roster was constructed. Regardless of the coach on the bench, the Lakers have just been a bit off the pace.
"I'm not sure there have been recent struggles," Kupchak said referring to the Lakers' current three-game losing streak. "We've struggled from Day One. It's not like we played good ball and then all of the sudden the last three to four weeks, we're starting to struggle. We have struggled from Day One and it's frustrating for everybody."
Kupchak also discussed the upcoming trade deadline, but he sent a clear message that Lakers fans should not expect anything to occur until the trade deadline approaches.
"It's unusual if things heat up five or four weeks out," Kupchak said. "Typically, as you approach the trade deadline, people get serious and they really begin to understand and know their team and they have a pretty good feel of what's out there."
With Kupchak clearing D'Antoni of blame, backing the coach in his recent drastic changes, and lamenting in the players' lack of effort, the message that a trade may be coming is hard to miss. At the moment, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard are the Lakers' best trade assets.
However, the real message appears to be that fans should be patient and wait until the trade deadline because the NBA is a "deadline-oriented league," so even if this team continues to play itself out of the playoffs, a trade in not imminent.

We have commented upon the role of the psychiatrist as an individual and as a member of the helping professions in a changing society, with particular reference to his responsibilities in the development and use of health insurance plans. Current pre-payment programs were examined and observations made regarding some of their implications which touch upon varied aspects of psychiatry, service, training and research and which are to be considered in the further development and refinement of health insurance plans. While additional expansion of pre-payment coverages is now warranted, our present knowledge of the specific requirements of the psychiatrically ill remains limited. It is necessary that we proceed with caution avoiding over-extending ourselves in our increasing preoccupation with insurance matters, pending a greater amount of information referable to the nature and course of mental illnesses, treatment objectives and responses to therapeutic interventions. This will facilitate a more meaningful relationship with insurors and better serve the needs of the patient, psychiatric practice and the furtherance of the voluntary health insurance effort. It is of note that the questions arising because of the presence of insurance plans have had the positive effect of sharpening our recognition of avenues of investigation demanding our attention as we progress in psychiatry and psychiatric practice.
