(1939–2006, her death)
Carl Nicholas Karcher (January 16, 1917 in Upper Sandusky, Ohio – January 11, 2008 in Fullerton, California)[1] was an American businessman, founder of the Carl's Jr. hamburger chain, now owned by parent company CKE Restaurants, Inc.
Early life[edit]
Born on a farm near Upper Sandusky, Ohio, Karcher was the son of Ohio natives Leo and Anna Maria (Kuntz) Karcher. Leo Karcher's grandparents immigrated from Belgium; Anna Maria Kuntz was of German ancestry. Carl N. Karcher moved to Anaheim, California, where his uncle ran a small business. He was hired by his uncle and worked for him for three years, and later dropped that job to work at a bakery as a delivery boy which increased his weekly salary by $6. He married Margaret Magdalen Heinz Karcher in 1939.[2]
Restaurant business[edit]
Karcher and his wife started their first business, a hot dog stand, on July 17, 1941 in Los Angeles, California when they borrowed $311 against their Plymouth automobile and added $15 from Margaret's purse.[3][4] The stand initially sold hot dogs and Mexican tamales. On his 28th birthday, January 16, 1945, they opened their first restaurant, Carl's Drive-In Barbecue, in Anaheim.[4][5]
Their restaurant quickly expanded, with the restaurants numbering 100 by 1974 and over 300 by 1981. Karcher served for a time as Chairman and CEO of the company until his own company removed him from the position for his desire to take the company private.[citation needed]
Karcher died on January 11, 2008, from complications of Parkinson's Disease, only 5 days before his 91st birthday.[6]
Carl Karcher received numerous awards for his philanthropy, including, in 1979, the Horatio Alger Award "for his distinction in accomplishments through individual initiative, hard work and adherence to traditional ideals."[7]
On January 16, 2007, which was his 90th birthday, Karcher and his deceased wife Margaret were recognized with the placement of a star on the Anaheim/Orange County Walk of Stars.[8]
Personal life[edit]
Karcher was a devout Catholic and an active member of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Carl and Margaret Karcher had 12 children.[4] Their son Jerome T. Karcher, who is a priest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange, received the Man of Character Award from the Boy Scouts of America for founding Mercy House in Orange County for the homeless and those with AIDS.[9] He attended mass daily at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Anaheim prior to going to work at his office. [10]
Political activities[edit]
Karcher was a lifelong supporter of conservative causes and was known to lead the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag at the beginning of CKE board meetings.
Karcher was an early supporter of John Schmitz, a Republican and member of the John Birch Society, who represented Orange County in the California State Senate and later Congress.[11] Schmitz was the presidential nominee of the American Independent Party in 1972.
In 1978, he contributed US$1 million to California's Proposition 6 initiative, also known as the Briggs Initiative.[6] He was the initiative's biggest financial supporter.

The Nicolet School Board is meeting at 5:45 p.m. to discuss the possible closing of West Green Tree Road by the village of River Hills.
River Hills residents living along Green Tree between Jean Nicolet and Range Line roads have asked the Village Board to close the road, saying it is dangerous because of speeding motorists.
Last month River Hills installed additional stop signs at Jean Nicolet and Green Tree roads in an effort to reduce speeding while the board considers the more drastic option of closing the road to through traffic.
Closing the road would likely have an impact on school bus routes.
The meeting is in the board room, B-113, at the high school, 6701 N. Jean Nicolet Road.

Messages - A Multi-Media Mailer
Everyone wants to do mail their own way—and the same is true with messages. Messages has dozens of options you may set—so many that it provides its own interface to setting and querying these. If you select Set Options on the Other menucard, messages will present a list of the options and their current setting. I'll bet as soon as you have messages working, it won't be long before you will be poring through the options, trying them out.
The designers chose to not keep the messages database compatible with that of other Unix mail readers like elm. In conventional Unix mail user agents (e.g., mail) when mail is received, it is first stored in /usr/spool/mail/$USER as a simple "flat" file. All the mail is mashed together in one physical file. It's up to the mail reader to sort these out. This works fine when the file is small, but when you have 100 pieces of multi-media mail, each 50K in size, it starts getting unwieldy and slow.
Now when you invoke your mail reader (e.g., elm), the reader shows you what is in /usr/spool/mail/$USER. When you save the mail to a folder, the mail is appended to some file in $HOME/Mail (e.g. ~/Mail/tpg in my case). Just as with the mail in /usr/spool/mail, this is also a simple file containing many logical files (pieces of mail). It will suffer even more from performance problems as you keep more and more mail around. Most mail readers allow you to create separate folders for categories of mail—but each still uses one monolithic file.
In the world where AUIS was developed, it is not unusual for one to have hundreds of pieces of mail (and large multi-media mail at that). So another, incompatible approach was taken. Messages keeps each individual piece of mail as a separate file in a folder (i.e., directory) and builds an index so it can quickly show what's in the folder. Each of these folders is kept in the directory $HOME/.MESSAGES.
The drawback to this approach is that you cannot directly switch between elm, for example, and messages. Any mail received by messages is not available in your next elm session. Similarly, mail you received in the past with elm, is not directly available in messages. However, that does not mean it cannot be done—but you must do it "manually". I have developed some techiques to allow you to "convert" your elm mail for use in messages and vice versa. I will not describe these in detail, but rather direct you to read about it in /usr/andrew/README.ez.mail which is created when you install the auis63L?-mail package.
Just as AUIS prints other text documents, messages will print your mail using PostScript. In this version AUIS objects all generate troff output—along with copious amounts of embedded PostScript. The troff is then processed to generate the necessary PostScript. The default print command will invoke a shell, /usr/andrew/etc/atkprint. The default preview command calls the shell /usr/andrew/etc/atkpreview. Each of these shells will invoke the groff formatter to generate the PostScript output. In atkpreview the groff output is directed into ghostview.
A mailing list is available at firstname.lastname@example.com (mail to firstname.lastname@example.com for subscriptions). The newsgroup comp.soft-sys.andrew is dedicated to the discussion of AUIS. A World Wide Web home page can be found at www.cs.cmu.edu:/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/atk-ftp/web/andrew-home.html. A book, Multimedia Application Development with the Andrew Toolkit, has been published by Prentice-Hall (ISBN 0-13-036633-1). An excellent tutorial is available from the Consortium by sending mail to email@example.com and asking about the manual, A User's Guide to AUIS.
Terry Gliedt (firstname.lastname@example.com) left Big Blue last year after spending over twenty years with IBM. Although he has worked with Un*x and AUIS for over six years, he is a relative newcomer to Linux. Terry does contract programming, teaches classes in C/C++ and Unix and writes the occasional technical document.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I was happy my nightmare was coming to an end but irked that taxpayer money was spent investigating me when somewhere there was a child locked in a closet or being denied food. Every year in New York another child makes headlines for dying at the hands of his parents. The common thread running through all these cases is that there was horrific abuse that occurred over a prolonged period because ACS dropped the ball.

When people hear I'm a single mom, curiosity often gets the best of them and I'm immediately bombarded with questions about my daughter's baby daddy. I've been through the drill so many times I can recite the questions by heart. It goes something like this:
Acquaintance: "Is your daughter's father still around?"
Me: "Yes, he lives across town."
Acquaintance, assuming that all baby daddies fall off the grid: "Does he still take her?"
Me: "Yes, but it's complicated."
Acquaintance: "But does HE take her?"
Me: "Yea, but…."
Acquaintance: "No!" shaking their head, "All that matters is that he's still involved!"

We here at Tosche Station all rather enjoyed Chuck Wendig's first Aftermath book but how do we feel about the second? To mission control for the verdict!

Broaden Your Diversity Horizons
Insisting that only women/creators of color should write women/characters of color is part of the problem.
It's an inevitable protestation brought up every time a comic company announces a new comic about a character that's not a white guy. Most recently, the internet is all aflutter because Brian Bendis (who happens to be white) is writing Riri Williams, the black teenage girl who's going to be the new Iron Man. Some parts of the internet want to see a WOC on the book instead. While I can most certainly appreciate the sentiment behind the movement, I find it to be a little more harmful than helpful for two very big reasons.
First, it sends the message that only women should write women or POCs should write POCs. For some books, having creators who have had the same life experiences as the characters is absolutely invaluable. Very few people would disagree that the life experiences of Sana Amanat and G. Willow Wilson do not play a fundamental role in creating Kamala Khan. Ta-Nehisi Coates also brings a unique point of view to his Black Panther book. So yes, there are absolutely some books that require a creative team with that intimate knowledge and strongly benefit from it. Every book doesn't. In a way, it's almost insulting to those everyone involved. Writers are supposed to have imaginations. If they only wrote about things they specifically experienced, fiction would be terribly boring.
Second, I truly believe that it actively discourages white male writers from creating characters of color. Bendis and artist Stefano Caselli get credit for creating Riri and hey, this is hardly the first time Bendis has created a young black character to take over the mantel of a white guy… Miles Morales anyone? Objectively speaking, why would someone want to create a diverse character when they know they're just going to be faced with backlash for wanting to write a character they've made? I'm not saying we need to give white guys a gold star for making diverse characters but maybe a little credit or a nod of appreciation wouldn't hurt.
The solution isn't to stop asking for more women and minorities to get jobs creating comics (and everything else) we love so much. Instead, the solution is to ask for it more broadly and praise it when it happens. We should celebrate the work of Marjorie Liu on Han Solo and Becky Cloonan on Punisher a hell of a lot more than we do. To me, assignments like those are more groundbreaking than if Liu had been asked to write a Rey book or Cloonan a Wasp book (although I would not object to either of those.) Start bringing up the names of female and POC creators on your wish lists for books like Batman and Wolverine and not just Wonder Woman and Spider-Woman. And yes. I hope that in fifteen years, there's going to be a young black woman writing the adventures of Riri because the character inspired her as a kid.
But (and this is a big but) let's not pigeonhole or discourage writers from writing diverse experiences. We should absolutely continue to make our voices be heard in asking for more diversity amongst both the characters and creators. Change happens because people speak up and show that there is a demand for a certain type of story or character. Hold companies accountable but do so broadly and not just in a narrow lane.
Review: Poe Dameron #4
The egg is hatched and now Black Squadron is in prison. Yep, that about sums it up.
It's really neat how Marvel is tying not just their same-era books together but also their Original and Sequel Trilogy era books. First seen back in the main Star Wars book, Grakkus the Hutt makes his return in a storyline that feels very organic while also being a wink to those of us who read all the books.
There's a lot that goes on in this issue–so much that it feels like it was double sized. The prison arc gets set up and started and I'm enjoying it for so many reasons so far but what really struck me were the squadron focused bits. One of the appeals of the Poe Dameron book was how we'd get to know the pilots from The Force Awakens a little better. Pilots are fan favorites not just because they're flashy flyboys and flygirls but because of how creators flesh them out further in the expanded universe. Jess, Snap, and Karé are already starting to feel more real even though we've only seen them in a few issues. Heck, I'm already on board with Snap/Karé as a ship! Marvel really couldn't have picked a better group of characters to focus on in this era.
On the art front… yeah look: you already know how I feel about Phil Noto's work. I don't need to repeat myself: he's fantastic. But ohhhh baby. That cover for next issue. *fans self* Poe, I'm gonna need you to keep that smolder under control.

Review: Han Solo #2
Come on: you didn't really think that this secret Rebel Alliance mission was just going to involve a high stakes space race, did you? Of course, the Dragon Void race is no mere race. Anakin Skywalker may have won the Boonta but I think even he would have a little trouble here. Marjorie Liu is most certainly committed to making sure that we get more than just the cocky smuggler side of Han Solo; something that more than a few writers have forgotten to do. And sure: Han is definitely cocky and brash but he's also a pretty smart guy as evidenced by how he figured out the trick to the race's opening—something that only one other pilot realized.
Something I'm definitely enjoying about this comic is how it's helping broaden the universe. Now we're getting to see folks who don't quite fall into the Underworld categorization but they're still from the less civilized part of the galaxy and they're really excited about this race. The spectators have such a great 'normal citizen' feel and just like so many normal citizens in our world, they want to get autographs! In the grand scheme of the story, it's not a very big thing but it's something that really stuck out to me nonetheless.
Mark Brooks (with some help from Sonia Obark's colors) continues to be a delight on art. The highlights from this issue would definitely be the costume design for a female Falleen and the more humorous Chewbacca facial expressions. Chewie can be a tough cookie to crack when it comes to artist renditions but I'm definitely enjoying Brooks' take.
Han Solo continues to be a really fun book and I can't wait to see where the Imperial entanglements take us in Issue #3.

Review: Darth Vader #22
Aphra Watch 2016: Still not dead. Also still smarter than you.
Darth Vader #22 picks up right where Issue #21 left off: with Vader facing off against a cyberanimate rancor. Oh and it all happens on a whale-ship. Honestly, that tells you everything you should need to know about this book because Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca make some crazy magic happen. Science is nothing compared to the power of the Force and the force that is Darth Vader.
Cylo, on the other hand, is proving more resourceful and perhaps a little bit smarter than I'd given him credit for. He's making very strong forward moves in the 'take down Emperor and Vader' direction even if we all know it won't end well. It's just a matter of how many other people he can take with him.
In a continuing ode to Doctor Aphra… we may not get very much of her in this issue but what we do get reinforces that she's still alive (despite working for Vader) because of how damn smart she is and how fast she can think on her feet. Whether it pans out remains to be seen but it's incredibly awesome to see such a capable woman not just wait around to be rescued… she does something about it.
As a part of the aptly named End of Games arc, Darth Vader #22 continues to raise the stakes and will keep readers on the edge of their seat as we march towards the end of this exciting book.

Interview: Jon Klassen
This past April I attended the first Alaska Robotics Mini-Con and had the opportunity to interview award-winning children's book author and illustrator Jon Klassen, creator of I Want My Hat Back and This is Not My Hat and illustrator of Lemony Snickett's The Dark, among many others. Listen to us talk about his time working in animation, visual storytelling, turtles, hats, and Star Wars as a series of moments!
Jon Klassen's art can be seen at his website here and he can be found on twitter as @burstofbeaden. You can e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com. His upcoming book, We Found A Hat, in which two turtles in a desert find one hat, will be available this October and his other books are available now, wherever fine books are sold.

Yeah, that pretty much is the greatest White House Star Wars reference of all time, kicks the crap out of Reagan's "Star Wars" initiative to put expensive space-based weapons into orbit (Lucas complained bitterly about the use of his brand's name for that use, IIRC). Anyway, here's the letter and it's outstanding: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/res...-youre-looking
It's also informative, I had no idea NASA had a program named "C3PO", and it links to the Voyager spacecraft which my grandfather worked on. And a link to a picture of Obi-Bama using a Hasbro basic lightsaber to fence. And it cites that the Force is with us at the end, swank!
Hi JT,
The official name of President Reagan's 1980's idea was called SDI which stands for Strategic Defense Initiative. It was the media that called it Star Wars. President Reagan and the US Gov't did not call it Star Wars they always referred it by its given name SDI. That was a funny answer by the Obama White House for sure.
Hi JT,
Lucas was miffed that SDI was called Star Wars. Reagan wanted to visit the Skywalker Ranch/ILM in 1986 or so but Lucas denied the request. Some think it was because the whole SDI/Star Wars issue. Also do you know if and when the Endor AT-AT is coming out? I never saw it at TOY R US in the US in the 4th quarter in 2012 but I did score a Falcon in Vintage packaging for half price.
Europe Toys R US did get the Endor AT-AT.
I hadn't remembered that Reagan was turned down for a visit by Lucas, that's pretty wild stuff to turn down a sitting president.
I posted a more detailed response on the Endor AT-AT in the other thread you posted, but right now I don't think there's a known street date, it didn't get a US release when it was supposed to, we'll hopefully learn more next month at Toy Fair.
Hi JT,
Reagan may have finally received a tour after his Presidential term was finished but can not confirm that. For a President to come and visit a business can be a pain for the host business because of all the security preperation and visits by the Secret Service. Lucas may have thought it might be too disruptive. Which is possible and understandable. Thanks.
Not really an Obama fan, but this is a pretty cool story. I guess I could make some snide remark about how his administration probably has more important things that they could be spending their time on, but I can let that slide.
I do remember SDI and I was always under the assumption that "Star Wars" was the nickname chosen by it's designers. Interesting to hear that it was just a media nickname that took on a life of its own.
Personally, I always thought SDI was pretty awesome and I never understood the outcry against it.
Wasn't Reagan's use of the term "evil empire" to describe the USSR the first use of a Star Wars reference in world politics?
bigbarada yes you have a good memory. Reagan's use of the term "evil empire". Was made around 1983.
JT your thoughts.
I remember when Reagan would come to the LA area, often to visit his ranch north of the valley I think, and he'd land at Santa Monica airport and shut that part of the city down hard.
I think it's more interesting to learn that it's Ted Kennedy who came up with it.
Reagan's "evil empire" came around ROTJ's release in '83 back when the concept of the Star Wars empire was a really big deal, so there was definitely a sense of connection to the concept. But it's entirely likely that Reagan wasn't intentionally tapping into the zeitgeist when using that term, as it fit with his point quite even without the Star Wars aspect. I don't believe there's ever been an official claim to the show intentionally connection with the ideas, but again, this would be about the media or the public inference over implied ideas.

Located on the west coast of Sardinia, Italy, I ventured upon this gem of a beach hidden away – after following a dirt track down past an old factory this beautiful vista unfolded.
Travelling with work, I must admit… that job was tough…but someone had to do it
The image was taken on my fully mechanical 120 film Widelux panoramic camera on slide film (ASA100) and electronically scanned via an Epson V700. The Widelux has a rotating lens across a 150 degree arc – it sometimes is a little slow on the start of its "scan" hence over-exposure at the leading edge can occur… as seen here.

Israeli diplomats are coming round to the idea that the White House could try to impose its own peace plan on the Israelis and Palestinians for the first time in four decades.
In addition to reports by well-sourced correspondents in the American media, there have been a number of signals in recent days that the administration is planning to present its own peace plan. The next visit to the region by US representative George Mitchell has been repeatedly postponed, giving rise to the speculation that President Barack Obama has decided to change tack.
Syria smuggled long-range missiles to Hizbollah in Lebanon earlier this year, leading to Israeli threats to attack the weapons convoys, it has emerged. Such an attack could have escalated into another war on Israel's northern border.
Hamas has ordered Gazans to shut down the network of tunnels used for smuggling along the border with Egypt, in an unprecedented move.
Gazans told Israeli media that they believed the closure of the tunnels was in response to security requests from Egypt. The move comes shortly after Israelis were advised to leave the Sinai peninsula after an urgent warning of an imminent kidnap attempt by Hamas.
Israel has been banned from showing images of the Western Wall in tourism adverts, after a ruling by the Advertising Standards Agency.
An image on the advert for holidays in Israel showed a picture of the Kotel, with the gold Dome of the Rock in the background, captioned "Jerusalem"'.
The ASA received a complaint that the picture showed disputed east Jerusalem, and misleadingly portrayed it as part of Israel.
In its adjudication, the ASA ruled that the advert breached its truthfulness guidelines and said the advert must not be used again.
In an unprecedented move, Israel has urged its citizens to leave Egypt's Sinai Peninsula immediately, warning of an imminent terrorist attack.
The Prime Minister's Office issued the urgent warning, claiming that there is "concrete evidence of an expected terrorist attempt to kidnap Israelis in Sinai".
Israeli civilians currently in Sinai may be at high risk of kidnap, although the kidnappers' target is likely to be an Israeli soldier.
Palestinian militants have kidnapped three soldiers from Israel. One of them, Gilad Shalit, has been held hostage since 2006.
At least one Palestinian terrorist, who attempted to plant a bomb at the Gaza border fence, has been killed by the Israeli army.
The IDF and Palestinian sources have confirmed the attack happened on the Kissufim border with Gaza.
The IDF said that a group of Palestinians had attempted to breach the border and a Givati strike force fired and shelled at the group. Military helicopters were also used to target the men.
The dead man is a member of the al-Quds Brigade, the military section of Islamic Jihad, the terrorist group confirmed.
The laconic announcement published by the defence minister this week that IDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi, would end his term as planned next February, hid beneath it a bubbling storm of ego and political reckoning. It had little to do with Israel's strategic interests.
The appointment of the IDF's chief has always been carried out in a hotbed of political intrigue. There are few democracies in which the army's supreme command carries as much social and political significance as it does in Israel.
A truce with Israel and the prospects of inter-Palestinian reconcilliation were discussed on Sunday night at a meeting of several Gaza factions.
Islamic Jihad, Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Democratic Front all participated attended the meeting, described by Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha as the "first fruits" of a series of inter-Palestinian talks.
The representatives gathered as a rocket launched from the Gaza Strip missed a kibbutz in the Western Negev.
Israel's Supreme Court will have to decide whether local rabbis can refuse to marry converts, in what may turn out to be a landmark case.
The latest challenge the rabbis are posing to the converts is an attempt to sabotage the only successful conversion programme still operating in Israel, run by the IDF.
The Seder Night themes of captivity and freedom took on a new twist in thousands of Israeli households this year, with the launch of a new haggadah remembering Jonathan Pollard.
The Freedom Haggadah, sub-titled "Let's not pass over our brother Jonathan", was produced and distributed by activists campaigning for America to free the spy.
Pollard started serving a life sentence in a US prison in 1987, for passing military secrets to Israel while working as an intelligence analyst for the US Navy.

Jamie Chung in J Brand Skinny Jeans
Jamie Chung posed for some photos on her fashion blog 'What The Chung' in a really fashionable outfit.
Jamie paired together her ripped up J Brand skinny jeans with a Rebecca Taylor Jacket, some Dior Sunglasses, an Elizabeth and James Bag and some Opening CeremonyXChloe Sevigny Shoes. This look is definitely a 'Jamie look' and I think it really suits her. Buy J Brand online at Shopbop.com.

Kourtney Kardashian in J Brand Photo Ready Cropped Skinny Jeans
Kourtney Kardashian was snapped while loading her kids in the car after picking them up from dance class. While out, Kourtney wore her J Brand Photoready cropped skinny jeans with a black and white stripe blouse and black Saint Laurent booties.
Kourtney's style tends to be a bit more classic than her sisters but she does always mix it up a bit, to keep from looking stuffy. This outfit is a great example of how she's paired the really traditional looking button down shirt with the edgier, distressed jeans. You can buy J Brand online from Shopbop.com.
Kylie Jenner in J Brand L8007 Edita Legging in Black
Photographed leaving an art show, Kylie Jenner was snapped in her J Brand L8007 Edita leggings in black again. She paired them with an oversize khaki Von Dutch jacket and pair of black Converse sneakers.
We've seen Kylie in these J Brand and a few other brands of leather leggings quite frequently. They seem to be a staple in her wardrobe, more so than jeans even! I think the leather suits her edgy and slightly glam look really well. You can buy J Brand online from Shopbop.com.
Freida Pinto in J Brand 835 Mid-Rise Capri Jeans in Breathless
Actress Freida Pinto was seen arriving at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California a few days ago from a flight in from China.
Freida wore a pair of J Brand's 835 Mid-Rise Capri Skinny Jeans in Breathless with a red plaid top, a navy coat and some driving shoes. I love the combination of navy and burgundy together, I have always thought it looked really good. Getting to the jeans though, this wash has been a favourite of mine for some time! Do you like it? You can buy J Brand online at Shopbop.com.

It is the fashion conscious elite of any society who tend to be more involved in environmental issues as they make it a societal gathering when they meet and discuss what would be under review.
This is a healthy attitude which should be appreciated whatever the political platforms they profess. These high class elite gatherings would also be a good forum to offer employment and help others less fortunate by providing some specialty jobs to make these events successful.
One of the more popular topics and which could be considered closer to environmental issues is the harnessing of solar energy to replace fossil fuels that we have been dependent on for many moons gone by.
Research shows that consumer ratings are increasing with every passing day for the right technology at an affordable price for every household to change over to obtaining their energy needs from the Sun, and curtailing their dependence on the traditional National Grid.
Sustained digital marketing strategies are required to create the right awareness in consumers to clamour for this renewable form of energy and make the world a better place for our future generations.

When she joined St. Kilda's, the elite security consulting firm, Emma Cross thought she'd left behind the blood, the guilt, and the Tribal Wars that defined her life at the CIA. Yet trading spying for investigating yacht thefts didn't alleviate the danger. Now, the same good instincts that got her into trouble at the agency might be the one thing that will help her survive her latest case.
St. Kilda and Emma are tracking a yacht named Blackbird. Emma knows the boat's intended cargo is lethal. What she needs to find out is whether it's biological, chemical, or fissionable. And she's only got seven days to uncover the truth . . . or a major American city will be lost. Fortunately, she's working with a new partner as menacing and distrustful as the worst enemy she's ever faced—Mackenzie Durand.
But Emma and Mac aren't the only eyes watching Blackbird. Taras Demidov, an expert in extortion and execution in the pay of oligarchs running the Former Soviet Union, is also waiting in the shadows, determined to intercept a fearsomely powerful arms dealer with the money, weaponry, and connections to alter the geopolitical balance.

Trillium Antiquarian Books
Some common memento is better,
Something he prized and is known by;
His old clothes-- a few books perhaps.
William Carlos Williams, Tract
Welcome to the home of Trillium Antiquarian Books where you can search or browse our collection of antiquarian books on Country Life and Natural History -- scarce books, from A to Z, on angling, apiculture, bees, birds, botany, Darwin, farming, fish, flora, fruit growing, gardens, geography, grapes, herbals, horticulture, landscapes, mammals, orchards, ornithology, seeds, vegetables, wildflowers, zoology... and likely several other matters which do not come readily to mind. Search and browse, too, our antiquarian Canadiana and Literature collections. In our Canadiana collection you will find the early works of Moodie, Traill, Davies, Bouchette, and others from Upper and Lower Canada. Our antiquarian Literature collection makes room among its novels, sermons, and poetry for some rare works by Mark Twain and Stephen Crane.
We will never have thousands and thousands of books for sale, lining the front stairs, boxed and piled in the basement, but we do spend a great deal of time looking, live and on line; our collection of books on architecture and design, number-wise, is modest enough, but lined up together you will find classics on church architecture and designs for book covers-- perfect, if you are determined to build a replica of Ely's cathedral or are looking for a way to apply Tiffany style to mass marketed literary uplift. Sometimes all that's left of an old book is the pictures. You will find antiquarian prints and maps, together with entire illustrated books, in Trillium's collection of Images from antiquarian sources.
If you spend any time hunting up books, you are bound to come upon an occasional book so odd or idiosyncratic as to be irresistible. Proof of the proposition is to be found in the Trillium collection of intriguing Curiosities. Since their comings and goings are unpredictable, it's usually worth stopping in for a short browse.
Trillium Antiquarian Books has been selling scarce, out-of-print books on the Internet since 1998 and, earlier, by traditional mail order. Look for us at book fairs in Ontario and the American northeast, where we have exhibited during the past dozen years.
Trillium Antiquarian Books is owned by William Van Nest, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Trillium Grandiflorum, from which we take our name, is the provincial flower of Ontario and appears in snowy white drifts among the hardwoods each Spring. One of several trilliums resident in the back garden furnished the images on this page.

Our Summer Sale
Beginning today, 6th July, and extending throughout the Summer, every title listed on the TAB web site will be offered at a 20% discount from the list price. Summer and the sale end 21st September.
A Word about Shipping with Canada Post
Ordinarily we use Canada Post to ship books to our customers. Just now (July), Canada Post and the union representing its employees are unable to settle a dispute about pensions, and the Crown corporation has announced its intention to lock out its employees. Apparently responsibility to their customers ranks somewhere below their perceived self-interest.
Our customers, however, need suffer no inconvenience. In the event of a stoppage, we will ship to our Canadian customers by domestic courier, orders to U. S. addresses will be shipped by USPS, and orders to all other destinations will be shipped by DHL. Irrespective of the shipper, our customers will be invoiced at the ordinary Canada Post rate. We will pay the difference. It is unlikely the federal government will let the stoppage drag on and will say, in effect, "Look, you two! Go figure it out!" In the meantime, we have arrangements in place.

The most respected insects of all – bees are known for their benevolent nature and hard-working character. They are loyal subjects to their queen and their cheerful buzz over flowers in the fields represents nature's musical masterpiece. So it's no wonder that Top Game decided to base its latest, spring-time release precisely on them – merry bees. If you like straightforward slots, and at the same time you are a nature lover, then "Bee Land" is the right game to try out.
The game features simple, yet appealing graphics, representing all the major members of a bee society – policemen, painters, musicians, dancers, as well as the Queen herself. There are also the party venues, such as hives, flowers and honey factory, all of which can be found on those five reels and 20 paylines from which drips tasty yellow honey. In addition to this, if you're more interested in prizes than the bees, you should pay a lot of attention to the special features offered in "Bee Land" which include wilds, scatters, bonus symbols, free spins and generous multipliers.
All these and more are available to you for only one cent per payline, if you prefer not to stake too much. However, if you're one of those who like to feel the thrill of taking a risk with a bigger sum, then you can choose a coin denomination of up to $5 per line, which then enables you to select virtually any bet amount reaching as high as $100 per spin. Just remember, it's better to play on the maximum number of lines, as that tactics will improve your winning odds in this colorful slot that, with a bit of luck, may bring you some nice prizes.
Then there are scattered honey factories, which are in the game called Money Makers for a good reason – when you get 3, 4, or 5 of them anywhere on the reels, you'll start a round of 12 free spins with 3x, 5x, or 10x multiplier, respectively. As rarely as it may appear, this feature brings some fantastic prizes, which will boost your bankroll immensely. And last but not the least is the bonus feature, triggered by three or more flowers icons along an active payline. In this feature, you'll be prompted to collect pollen and turn it into honey, in exchange for which you'll get bonus points. Apart from being interesting, this feature can also be quite rewarding, so it's also the one to look forward to.
The overall impression left by "Bee Land" is that everything about it is more than decent. The only thing one may notice that this slot lacks is good, theme-related sounds. But if you turn a blind eye to this and pay more attention to its generous prizes, you'll be more than satisfied and you'll find yourself going back to it times and times again.
nice game
When i was a fan of wasting my time - i was playing at Top game casinos. But thanks God i was playing only with no deposit bonuses. Oh...i remember i was playing with real cash at Vic's Bingo... Damm:) A game is really fun. Graphics are outdated but fun music, fun symbols creates atmosphere:) Also i love, no, i adore bonus game! But never was lucky to pick a highest one win on the final bonus game stage:(

Published January 15, 2016
The U.S. Supreme court next week could drop a bombshell on the political legacy of U.S. President Barack Obama. The court will decide if they will hear arguments on the president's executive order to shield 4 million immigrants from deportation. If they don't take up the case, the president will lose one of his main programs in his final year in office. VOA's Carolyn Presutti has our story.

Hart Seely on The Juju Rules
What exactly is juju?
Juju is the anecdotal science of influencing the outcome of sporting events through seemingly unrelated acts, in the comfort and privacy of your home. It combines the most recent revelations from the Large Hadron Collider to other unexplainable phenomena, such as the inability of a certain millionaire Yankee third baseman to hit with runners on base.
Could juju affect sports other than baseball?
Football, possibly. I've tried it over the years with the New York Giants, but frankly, Eli Manning is a total crapshoot. As for basketball and hockey, forget it. They're too chaotic. You can't be flinging juju into your TV during a two-on-one fast break. Proper juju requires 20 to 30 seconds of down time between each pitch. That's just enough time to focus on the pitcher, to concentrate on the situation, and to ponder what a failure you are in life--until now, when you can finally do something to help your team.
Was there ever one Yankee game that your observance of the juju rules most affected?
Ever hear of a fellow named Bucky Dent? I'm the reason why in Boston he has a special middle name.
How has your life of juju affected your family?
Well, I'm still married, and the kids haven't become Satanists, or Red Sox fans. I think everyone in the house realizes, at least on some subconscious level, that their lives will be slightly happier if the Yankees win. They won't have to fear finding me in the basement. But my kids have never openly practiced juju, unless they were working the weather for a snow day.
Couldn't your juju theories be used against the Yankees?
OK. Here's an anecdote for you. The story goes that Albert Einstein had just finished writing a big equation on the chalkboard at Princeton--maybe it was Nevada-Las Vegas, I'm sketchy--when the class dork raises his hand and says, "But Professor Einstein, couldn't your formula be used to build a bomb?" The whole room goes Greta Garbo. You can hear the roaches. So what does Einstein do? He erases the board. Class dismissed. Nobody even gets homework.
Well, before publishing what I know about juju, I considered doing the same. Yes, this book could put enormous destructive power into the hands of small market radicals, such as fans of the Cleveland Indians. But we in the Yankee fan base cannot stifle the advancement of juju. Every American child deserves access to juju. Every family should have the opportunity to torture a couch--and win a game. As a free society, we must move forward. We must let juju shine upon every town, every home, every person, regardless of race, religion, or team. A new world is at hand, and we must not fear it.
This book is not merely a recipe for revolution, but it's a pedagogy for peace, a formula for the future, a manifesto for mankind. You know, in many ways, I didn't choose to write this book. This book chose. . . to write. . . me.
Hart Seely's Top Ten Juju Rules
Overall, 27 juju "rules" dictate how fans can influence the outcome of sporting events from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. We asked juju master Hart Seely to list his ten top commandments. . .
1. TELL NO ONE. Remember the first rule of Fight Club? ("Never talk about Fight Club.") Same here, but double it.
2. NEVER TRY TO PROVE JUJU WORKS. Waste of time. Juju does not perform in clinical tests.
3. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LUCKY SHIRT. If there was, trust me, you wouldn't own it.
4. IT'S OK TO ABUSE INANIMATE OBJECTS. After a brutal defeat, a door should expect to be slammed. (Note: Waterboarding remains cruel and barbaric. We in America do NOT torture inanimate objects.)
5. BE NEGATIVE. In life, let the glass be half-full. But always expect your team to lose. Worst-case scenario: You're a visionary.
6. NEVER HOST A VICTORY PARTY FOR AN UPCOMING GAME. A guaranteed defeat and a lousy party.
7. NEVER HARM YOUR TELEVISION. No matter what happens on screen, it's not her fault.
8. NEVER ASK GOD TO FIX A GAME. He has more important things to do, and He doesn't need a point-shaving scandal.
9. WHEN A STRATEGY WORKS, DON'T ABUSE IT. You cannot hop on one foot throughout an entire season. Save your best for the World Series.
10. EVERY GAME IS THE WORLD SERIES. Are we clear?
"As he chronicles his unique relationship with his father (a fan of any team playing the Yankees), learning to appreciate the wisdom of Yankee announcer Phil Rizzuto while listening to games with his grandmother, pursuing the love of his life and commiserating with a comedic stable of Yankee-loving (and Yankee-hating) pals, genuine moments of pathos, heart and happiness emerge."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Seely...weaves his life as a Yankees fan with instructions on how to apply the rules in a fast-paced, hilarious fashion—at times touching, but never dull...This rollicking exposition unveils a rabid fan who claims to have a 'Jekyll/Hyde' complex with respect to the Yankees. There is no Jekyll or Hyde—there is only Seely, a true fan."
--Publishers Weekly
– Tony LaRussa, former major league manager "Part George Bailey, part Yoda, part screaming superfan, Hart Seely has written a hilarious memoir that gives fans everywhere the mystical tools they need to win games from hundreds of miles away."
–James Finn Garner, bestselling author of The Politically Correct Bedtime Stories Trilogy "A heart-warming, hilarious story about being a Yankee fan? It must be a joke, right? And yet, here it is. The Juju Rules is a wonderfully-told story that reminded me why I fell in love with baseball in the first place. You don't have to root for the Yankees to enjoy this book, but it certainly helps. Hey, Red Sox fans: I'd like to see you top this!"
--Jonathan Eig, author of Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig"I kept waiting for Hart Seely's The Juju Rules to stop being funny, but it never did. Seely tells the story of all of us who have ever sat in a favorite chair knowing that if we got up to go to the bathroom at the wrong time it could doom our team to defeat and maybe even cost us a pennant."
--Glenn Stout, author of Fenway 1912 and series editor of Best American Sports Writing"I used to think Iwas a crazy Yankees fan, but Hart Seely has me beat by a grand slam. The Juju Rules is in a league of its own – a self-help book for baseball addicts, a story with hilarious jokes and zingy one liners, a satirical look at sports and popular culture, and a truly poignant memoir. The scene in which the author watches a Yankees game while his wife is in labor is now my go-to image whenever I need a laugh. No fan should even consider following the 2012 season without arming himself with this book first."
--Jane Heller, bestselling novelist and author of Confessions of a She-Fan

CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER. The complete ''Brandenburg'' Concertos are by now an annual Christmas event at Alice Tully Hall. The musicians do very well by Bach's six festive concertos, all of which suit the season well. The second and third of three performances are tonight at 8 and Sunday at 5 p.m. Tickets: $35 and $25; sold out but returns may be available; (212) 721-6500 (Holland).
''FANTASIA 2000.'' Disney animation gets some special accompaniment with live performances at Carnegie Hall by the Philharmonia Orchestra of London, conducted by James Levine. Tomorrow at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. with preconcert exhibitions. Tickets: $30 to $100; (212) 247-7800 (Holland).
LIONHEART. This vocal sextet sings with a ravishing blend and has given some splendid programs in recent seasons. Its holiday offering is ''Tydings Trew: Feasts of Christmas in Medieval England,'' a cycle of works celebrating the 12 days of Christmas (with a set devoted to works about the Annunciation as a prelude). Sunday at 4 p.m., Corpus Christi Church, 529 West 121st Street, Morningside Heights. Tickets: $20; $15 for students and the elderly; (212) 666-9266 (Kozinn).
''MESSIAH.'' If it's Friday, it must be the National Chorale, conducted by Martin Josman, in this year's round of performances of Handel's beloved oratorio in New York. The vocal soloists are Pamela Hinchman, Elizabeth Turnbull, Rockland Osgood and James Taylor. Tonight at 8, Avery Fisher Hall. Tickets: $32 to $73; discounts available for students. (212) 333-5333. At the same time, Musica Sacra, conducted by Richard Westenburg, takes its 30th-anniversary presentation of the work to Long Island between its own stints at Avery Fisher Hall. The soloists here are Judith Pannill, Marietta Simpson, John Aler and William Sharp. Tonight at 8, Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, C. W. Post campus of Long Island University, Route 25A, Brookville, N.Y. Tickets: $28 to $42; $25 to $39 for the elderly; (516) 299-3100 (Oestreich).
NEW YORK CHAMBER SYMPHONY. This group seems to be banking on a wet Christmas rather than a white one, with two versions of ''Water Music,'' by Telemann and by Handel. It is good to be reminded at this time of year that Handel wrote something other than ''Messiah,'' even if it is simply the next most popular item in his catalog. Anthony Newman, a lively organist and conductor, presides over a program that includes other festive music, by Purcell, Bach, Jeremiah Clarke and Jean-Francois Dandrieu. Tomorrow at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., Alice Tully Hall. Tickets: $35. (212) 721-6500 (Oestreich).
NEW YORK'S ENSEMBLE FOR EARLY MUSIC. This group, an outgrowth of Noah Greenberg's legendary New York Pro Musica Antiqua, is led by Frederick Renz in ''Nova: A Medieval Christmas.'' The concert includes carols and sacred and secular songs by Hildegard von Bingen, Niedhart von Reuenthal and others. And music of Perotin -- here, ''Beata Viscera'' -- is a welcome bonus in any program, holiday or otherwise. Tomorrow at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m., Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Amsterdam Avenue at 112th Street, Morningside Heights. Tickets: $25; (212) 280-0330 (Oestreich).
NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC. For a while, during the recent strike by the musicians at the New York City Ballet, it seemed as if the only place lovers of Tchaikovsky's ''Nutcracker'' music could hear it performed live would be at the New York Philharmonic this weekend, when Andre Previn conducts. The Philharmonic musicians may actually relish playing this repertory chestnut after all the unfamiliar and demanding Copland works the orchestra played during its impressive Completely Copland Festival, which just ended. Mr. Previn's concerts on this morning and tomorrow night also offer the esteemed pianist Alicia de Larrocha in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21. Tomorrow's unusual matinee program offers chamber orchestra works by Martinu and Ravel, and Act II of ''The Nutcracker.'' The Mozart and Tchaikovsky program is scheduled today at 11 a.m. and tomorrow at 8 p.m. The program of Martinu, Ravel and Tchaikovsky is tomorrow at 2 p.m. Avery Fisher Hall. Tickets: $14 to $54, limited availability; (212) 721-6500 (Tommasini).
JERZY STRYJNIAK. This Polish pianist proved a sensitive colorist when he made his New York debut with a Chopin and Liszt recital in 1990. On that occasion, his Chopin performances seemed particularly thoughtful and persuasive, which bodes well for his current all-Chopin program. The centerpiece is the Funeral March Sonata. Also included are the Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante, the Ballade in F, the Scherzo in B minor, the Polonaise in A flat and two Nocturnes. Tomorrow at 8:30, Weill Recital Hall. Tickets: $20 to $35. (212) 247-7800 or (212) 717-9590 (Kozinn).
WAVERLY CONSORT. This venerable early-music ensemble has assembled a program in which the Christmas story is told through medieval English, Spanish, French and Italian works. Sunday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., the Cloisters, Fort Tryon Park, (212) 650-2290. Tickets: $38; cash and check only (Kozinn).

Publicly greeted as the definitive answer to recent attacks on the university, Lawrence W. Levine's book is a brilliantly argued positive vision of American education and culture.
About the Author
Lawrence W. Levine is the author of "Black Culture and Black Consciousness, Highbrow/Lowbrow", and "The Opening of the American Mind". He was Professor of History at University of California, Berkeley, and died in 2006. Cornelia R. Levine is an independent scholar. Michael Kazin is Professor of History at Georgetown University and coeditor of "Dissent". He is the author of "A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan; The Populist Persuasion: An American History" and other books.
Praise For…
Elegant, passionate, and a pleasure to read, offering a welcome historical depth. --David Damrosch, The Washington Post Book World
"Here are grounds . . . for rejoicing. . . . [Levine] confronts the conservative critics of multiculturalism with the rigorous scholarship and lucid analysis usually absent in their own work." --Martin Duberman, The Nation
"Levine . . . knows more about the history of the American college curriculum than almost anyone who has assailed it, and it turns out to be a rollicking tale of partisan strife." --Amy Schwartz, The Washington Post
"Lawrence Levine, one of our era's most original historians, offers here an acute and sensitive analysis of the state of the American academy at the end of this century. . . . An excellent, readable, and redoubtable contribution to the debate over the culture wars." --Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
"A forceful rebuttal of conservative critics who have dominated recent debate about higher education. . . . This book should be required reading for anyone interested in the culture wars." --Allan Winkler, Times Higher Education Supplement
"A book that has relevance for everyone. . . . You never feel like you're in the hands of a sloganeer or a person who is locked up in some ivory tower without a connection to contemporary life, or to your life." --Ingrid Sischy, Interview
"Raises the entire debate about American education to the level of dignity and honor it deserves. A wise and reasoned book. I hope it reaches a huge audience." --Jonathan Kozol, author of Savage Inequalities
