It's been a wild weekend in VegasVille. Better break out the long rake for this scene:
• As CeeLo Green opened his "CeeLo Green Is Loberace" at Planet Hollywood this week, the formal name of the new Liberace Museum being planned for Neonopolis is being specified: It is to be called the Liberace Entertainment Experience, or LEE for short.
Lee is how friends of Liberace referred to the legendary Las Vegas showman. Rohit Joshi, who heads up the investment group that owns Neonopolis, talked of that name Wednesday during a walk-through of the construction happening at Neonopolis.
The attraction is to replace the closed Liberace Museum, which has been locked and dark since October 2010, and is likely be open by January if the plan is approved by the bankruptcy court reviewing a lawsuit filed against the Liberace Foundation by U.S. Bank.
The financial institution is seeking more than $1 million in missed loan payments on the Liberace Plaza at East Tropicana and Spencer. The Liberace Foundation filed for bankruptcy to fend off that suit, and its restructuring plan -- including the development of LEE -- must be approved by the courts before the new project can proceed.
LEE will take over the space once occupied by Jillian's on the first level. As plans develop, the remaining unoccupied spaces will be leased by food vendors adopting a speed and racing theme. As always with Neonopolis, we'll see whether what is built matches the renderings.
Meanwhile, enjoy the video of Joshi singing a song he wrote for his wife, Loraine Kusuhara. He busted out the acoustic guitar and started singing this song, which has no name but captivating lyrics, with no prompting.
• A widening rift has formed between the two shows at Stratosphere: "Pin Up," which opened Saturday, and the brimming-with-originals production starring Frankie Moreno. Moreno was not formally invited to opening night of "Pin Up" and said he was informed in a mass email message Saturday night that there would be no seats held for him. This was about an hour before "Pin Up" was to take the stage (and an account of the quality of this show on opening night will have to wait a bit, but do stay tuned here for that). Moreno was told his opening-night request for a table of eight was denied because the show was sold out, marking the rare instance in the world of entertainment when a person listed as a producer wasn't seated to opening night of the show he helped conceive and design.
Choreographer Lacey Schwimmer was not in the audience on opening night, either. She cut loose on Twitter late Saturday night by saying: "Really wish I was invited to something I worked on. Good luck regardless #pinup."
That message had been deleted by this morning. But in a text message Saturday night, Schwimmer said, "I do not approve of the show. I am happy with the few numbers I did, and I am pleased with the dancers as a whole. Other than that, this was not a fun experience. But I wish them the best."
For all practical purposes, it seems the choreographer best known for her appearances on "Dancing With the Stars" (though she is not on next season's cast) is finished with "Pin Up."
Schwimmer didn't care to take questions about "Pin Up" after Monday afternoon's presentation of three scenes staged for the media. It's just as well; she had not seen those scenes until Monday afternoon. And this afternoon, she said in a text message, "I'm hurt."
No official explanation -- other than the show's status as a sell-out -- has been offered for the omission of Moreno, in particular, on opening night. Vice President of Entertainment Matt Mascali's contention is that the two entertainers are always invited to any show at the hotel and are considered part of the Stratosphere family. He added that he had no explanation for Schwimmer's Twitter post, either.
But Moreno did hope to have tickets set aside and has been promoting the show for months, and his bassist brother Tony and he mentioned "Pin Up" from the stage Saturday night. It has been long reported, and never disputed, that the show's throwback theme was Moreno's idea. But in his remarks from the stage while introducing the show, director Drew DiCostanza told the audience that he was the one who presented the "Pin Up" idea, with Claire Sinclair as the star, to Mascali.
In DiCostanza's version, the hotel bought his idea -- literally, in monetary terms, by bankrolling the show.
However, as Sinclair has been reinforcing in interviews leading up to the show, Moreno was the first Stratosphere rep to say anything to her about playing the star role in the in-progress show that would become "Pin Up." After Saturday's show, Strat General Manager Paul Hobson crossed this informational divide by saying that both Moreno and DiCostanza arrived at the concept of a vintage, calendar-flipping, pinup production independently and simultaneously. Today, Mascali also said that's how the concept was forged, a fusion of two similar ideas provided at about the same moment.
What a wild coincidence it is, then, that the show both of these guys conceived at the exact same time has now opened at the hotel. Regrettably, only one of them was around to see it.
Audio Clip
- Jersey Boys Travis Cloer and Graham Fenton; KISS By Monster Mini Golf founder Christina Vitagliano
• Travis Cloer of "Jersey Boys" is back onstage in his "Setting the Standard" side project at The Smith Center's Cabaret Jazz on Monday night. The show is at 7 p.m., and tickets are $25 and $35. Cloer moved the performance scheduled for last month because he was sick, but this was not nearly as serious a malady as the injury he suffered a little more than a year ago that sidelined him in "Jersey Boys" for several performances.
As he recounted on "Kats With the Dish" a couple of weeks ago, Cloer suffered a tear in his vocal cords during a performance of "Jersey Boys" in early 2012.
"That was a little over a year ago in the middle of the show," Cloer said. "I wasn't feeling great for a while, and I just tried to muscle through it, you know, and be the trooper instead of being a responsible guy and take some time off and just let my body do what it needed to do. And I hemorrhaged a vocal cord and was out of the show for almost a month."
Cloer explained the injury, which is an unpleasant description whether or not you are a professional singer.
"To get technical, you're basically cutting your vocal cord," he said. "The way that they work is that they just slam together over and over and over thousands of times … and they have a thin membrane over them, and underneath that (membrane) a blood vessel popped." Remarkably, Cloer finished the show.
"Let's just say I chose a few alternate notes that evening," he said, chuckling. "But I'm doing great now."
• A release date has been set for the Oscar Goodman memoir "Being Oscar." It's out May 21. The cover photo is of Goodman posing with a pair of showgirls at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, with the title spread across the surface of the famed visage. Goodman is planning to embark on a nationwide promotional tour for the book, which of course is all about Oscar. It's supposed to be a "three-hour read," and we'll set the timer.
Update: On Monday morning, Stratosphere General Manager Paul Hobson has issued the following statement in addressing the venue seating for the soft opening of "Pin Up": "We were very pleased to have the Stratosphere Theater full of friends, family and fans to support the opening of Pin Up and Claire Sinclair's debut on the Las Vegas Strip. We did not issue invitations for the show and nobody was excluded from attending. We value the relationships forged with all of our creative partners and are fully behind both of our original shows at Stratosphere."

Sudlow Concrete, Inc. 192 ReviewsGreat job
Had my entire driveway and walkways replaced. They came in with the lowest price, but did an excellent job on the replacement. They could have been a little gentler with planters and a brick border, but I don't sweat the small stuff. They were punctual, professional, and I would recommend them for a driveway replacement. I don't have any experience with them on the other stuff they do.
ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape 142 ReviewsAwesome!
Scott Arnold is the ultimate masonry design and build professional. Scott responded to us promptly and was flexible with design ideas until we determined an ultimate design for our project. The masons on Scott's team were polite, careful, neat and hardworking. The project site was cleaned up at the end of each day. The finished fireplace stone and design blends in perfectly with our surrounding terrace and pool area.... It looks like it has always been there! Our new fireplace has created a WOW focal point to our already beautiful home! The resale value of our home has probably increased by more than the project cost. We will enjoy our new fireplace all year long and look forward to...
Driveway Plus & Design LLC 17 ReviewsGreat Job!
Silvio and his team were wonderful and did a great job on replacing our driveway. He was prompt and quick to contact me if he thought there were going to be issues with the weather and re-scheduling. I definitely would recommend Silvio if you are replacing a driveway!
Concrete Contractors of Georgia 22 Reviewsdriveway repair
I had a sinking driveway that had cracked and settled with large voids underneath. They re-installed my driveway and compacted all the earth under the existing driveawy so the new drive way would not settle and crack again. I love the new fresh look of my driveway and the apron- that's the end part of the driveway that borders on the street- is just beautiful! Update: meanwhile it rained and I noticed no more puddling either. Before we had huge puddles and water would get into the garage- the drainage grates that they installed work like a charm as they promised and everything drains away from the house. Mark M.
Bob Johnsons Concrete Driveways & Slabs 3 ReviewsWonderful experience to end a nightmare
Recently, we discovered that our attic had been hosting a lot of critter parties for quite a long time. I was happy to get a recommendation for Aladdin Insulation. I called them and within a day had an estimate from Charlie and an appointment for their team to take out all the old yucky insulation, clean and put in new (and better) insulation. Everything ran very smoothly. Robert and crew were very careful, polite, as quiet as possible, and very professional. It is lovely to have a clean and now, much warmer attic! And they even helped better insulate other problem areas in the house! Thanks, Aladdin!

Injured Army veteran part of A's Memorial Day
By Willie Bans / Special to MLB.com
OAKLAND - In the A's clubhouse, Josh Donaldson walked in with camouflage cargo shorts, and in the team kitchen, Australia native Grant Balfour practiced memorizing the U.S. national anthem.
But before the A's-Giants series opener Monday, the meaning of Memorial Day was most apparent on the field.
Staff Sgt. Dale Beatty, a Purple Heart recipient and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, tossed the ceremonial first pitch. Beatty was deployed to Iraq in 2004, and on Nov. 15, 2004, his vehicle hit a land mine and as a result, Beatty became a double-amputee below the knees.
Beatty was at the Coliseum also to help raise attention for the Fisher House Foundation, whose homes allow soldiers and their families to stay at no cost while they are receiving medical treatment. Beatty and his family stayed at a Fisher House, and he's now a trustee of the organization.
"It was an irreplaceable asset to have a home away from home," Beatty said. "It was a support system for my family and for all the families there."
The Fisher House Foundation has 60 homes around the world, including one in Palo Alto and one at Travis Air Force Base in Solano County, where a second is under construction.
Beatty said he played baseball as a youngster, just like his son does now, for their hometown youth league in Statesville, N.C. That team's colors? Green and gold, just like the A's. But, Beatty said, "I'm neutral."
Oakland reliever Jerry Blevins and many other players Monday put on their special camouflage A's caps as soon as they saw them hanging in their lockers.
"It's a national day," Blevins said. "This is about letting people gather today and as a society, as a people, taking the time to appreciate it all. As much as baseball is America's pastime, what they do is much more important."
Reddick projected for four rehab games
OAKLAND -- Things are slowly moving along for Oakland's Gold Glove right fielder.
Josh Reddick's rehab assignment is scheduled to begin Monday with Class A Stockton and continue with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, manager Bob Melvin announced before Monday's series opener against San Francisco.
"We're looking at probably four [rehab games] right now," Melvin said.
Reddick suffered a right wrist injury that ultimately put him on the disabled list May 8. He took more than 20 batting-practice swings in Houston on Friday and said he "felt great."
Oakland plays the Giants in San Francisco on Wednesday and Thursday, before hosting the White Sox for a three-game set beginning Friday.
Worth noting
• Aaron Hern, the 12-year-old who was injured in the Boston Marathon bombings April 15, is scheduled to toss the ceremonial first pitch Tuesday. Hern lives in nearby Martinez, and his father, Alan, is head coach of the Alhambra High football team in Martinez. Before Hern was released from Boston Children's Hospital on April 24, he was visited by Reddick, first baseman Brandon Moss and first-base coach Tye Waller on April 22 while the A's were in town playing the Red Sox.

Del Mar - A Feast for the SensesBy: Deborah Liv Johnson
There really is nothing like standing at the water's edge, digging your toes into the sand and staring into an abyss of endless blue sky, salty waves and sun. A day at the beach is probably the simplest way to send yourself on vacation, and all you have to do is stand there, breathing.
Del Mar is home to one of San Diego County's finest beaches. Nestled along the coast, this seaside resort is both quaint and sophisticated. Once you find 15th Street, at the north end of town, head west and park. The grassy knoll at the end of 15th is a wonderful place for an early morning picnic where you'll be perched above the train tracks with a spectacular view of the ocean. Once the coffee has kicked in, head down to the beach. Depending on the tides, you can walk a little or a lot, kicking at waves and watching sun diamonds reflect off the water.
For lunch, there are several options. If you're in a casual mood, pick up a sandwich at the Harvest Ranch Market located in the Del Mar Plaza (great shopping) and head upstairs to the top of the plaza. There's no charge for the million-dollar view. Pacifica Breeze Cafe is also less formal and opens at 7 a.m. for breakfast with lunch stretching to 3 p.m. Its slightly more formal parent restaurant, Pacifica Del Mar, is acclaimed for its fresh seafood and opens for lunch and dinner. Both restaurants are located in the plaza.
After lunch, head to the Del Mar racetrack for a day at the races. Built in 1937, the Del Mar Racetrack is true to its slogan, "Where the turf meets the surf." It's hard to imagine a more beautiful spot for horse racing, and if you're on a tight budget, grandstand seats are only four dollars each. Find a good place to watch the horses and you can bask in the sun and ocean breeze all afternoon. Racing season runs from July 19 through September 6.

A long-forgotten and largely abandoned parcel of city-owned land next to Foothills Park could be spruced up and added to Palo Alto's verdant empire of dedicated parkland under a proposal offered this week by three City Council members.
The 7.7-acre site, which is currently closed to the public and which can be accessed by a path off Los Trancos Road, last cropped up in council discussions in the fall of 2012, when developer John Arrillaga offered to buy it from the city for $175,000. As part of these discussions, Arrillaga also offered to build three athletic fields for the city as part of the renovation of the Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course.
These talks over the park site occurred largely behind closed doors and during private site tours staff had arranged for council members, which the Weekly learned about from documents obtained through the Public Records Act. At the same time, Arrillaga was seeking the city's permission to build a four-tower office complex and a theater at 27 University Ave., the current site of the MacArthur Park Restaurant.
The proposals ultimately collapsed after an intense public outcry about insufficient transparency and the excessive density proposed for 27 University Ave.
But now, the 7.7-acre site is back on the table. This time, however, the proposal is to open it up to the public rather than sell it to Arrillaga, who owns properties on either side. The land has been city-owned since 1981, when the family of R. Hewlett Lee granted it to the city. The family had reserved an estate on the property, which it owned until 1996.
In presenting the 7.7-acre gift to the city, the Lee family specified that it "shall be used for conservation, including park and recreation purposes." Burt, Holman and Schmid argue in their memo that it's time for the city to honor the direction and restore the site that few council members were even aware of two years ago.
"Most of us didn't even know it existed," Holman told the Weekly. "And it's been fenced off and locked off from community access."
"I think it's appropriate to dedicate the land for the purpose for which it was acquired, which was for conservation," Holman said. "One way to do it is to dedicate it as parkland."
The colleagues' memo describes the site as "a flat plain surrounded by wooded hillsides on both the north and south sides." It calls the land "a natural extension of the beautiful and popular Las Trampas Valley in Foothills Park and, if accessible, would extend that valley for about a fifth of a mile northwestward along the course of Buckeye Creek."
"These acres include an environmentally important riparian corridor. It is time this property becomes dedicated parkland accessible to the public," the memo states.
Currently, the site is only used by the environmental nonprofit Acterra, which raises plants in a greenhouse. The rest is vacant and fenced off.
Holman said that now is a particularly good time to consider options for turning the site into parkland because the city is preparing to put together a Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreation Master Plan, which will lay out the city's vision for future park improvements. The plan, which the council will also discuss Monday night, would propose five-, 10- and 25-year improvements to Palo Alto's extensive park system. That system includes 32 parks comprising 187 acres and four open-space preserves that total 4,000 acres, according to a recent staff report from the Public Works Department. This would would be the city's first effort to put together a comprehensive plan for parks and recreation since 1965. According to the Community Services Department, that plan called for the creation of the Baylands Athletic Center, the future expansion of athletic fields throughout the city, and the expansion of Greer Park.
The Parks and Recreation Commission has discussed the master plan over the course of several meetings and will shoulder much of the load in putting it together. In a new report, Community Services Department staff wrote that the plan will propose various enhancements, "acquisition of park and recreation facilities and a funding plan for implementation."
"The city currently has no cohesive plan to manage, improve and expand its park and recreational facilities in order to keep the programs, services and facilities relevant to present and future populations; to appropriately balance recreational and open space conservation needs; and to provide adequate funding to meet these on-going needs," the memo states.
As the city considers these long-range goals, Holman said, the 7.7-acre site near Foothills Park should be in the mix.
"This should be considered as part of that master plan," Holman said.

Police: Parent stripping disrupts NY school assembly
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Police say a parent who got on stage and started to strip during an upstate New York school assembly is facing child endangerment and lewdness charges.
Albany police say they arrested 24-year-old Aydrea Meaders at the North Albany Academy at about 10:30 a.m. Friday.
They say school staff told them the assembly was halted and the cafeteria cleared after Meaders began dancing onstage and took off some of her clothes.
She's charged with seven counts of endangering the welfare of a child and one of public lewdness.
An Albany City Court clerk says Meaders was arraigned Friday afternoon and ordered held on $3,000 bail. She doesn't have a lawyer yet.
The North Albany Academy is a pre-kindergarten through eighth grade school in the Albany district.

Alcohol use involves drinking beer, wine, or hard liquor.
See also:
Beer consumption; Wine consumption; Hard liquor consumption; Safe drinking; Responsible drinking
Alcohol is one of the most widely used drug substances in the world.
Alcohol use is not only an adult problem. Most American high school seniors have had an alcoholic drink within the past month, despite the fact that the legal drinking age is 21 years old in the U.S.
About 1 in 5 teens are considered "problem drinkers." This means that they:
For more information, see: Alcoholism and alcohol abuse
Alcoholic drinks have different amounts of alcohol in them:
Alcohol gets into your bloodstream quickly.
The amount and type of food in your stomach can change how quickly this occurs. For example, high-carbohydrate and high-fat foods can make your body absorb alcohol more slowly.
Certain types of alcoholic drinks get into your bloodstream faster. A carbonated (fizzy) alcoholic drink, such as champagne, will be absorbed faster than a non-carbonated drink.
Alcohol slows your breathing rate, heart rate, and how well your brain functions. These effects may appear within 10 minutes and peak at around 40 - 60 minutes. Alcohol stays in your bloodstream until it is broken down by the liver. The amount of alcohol in your blood is called your "blood alcohol level." If you drink alcohol faster than the liver can break it down, this level will rise.
Your blood alcohol level is used to legally define whether or not you are "drunk." The blood alcohol legal limit usually falls between 0.08 and 0.10 in most states. Below is a list of blood alcohol levels and the likely symptoms.
Note: You can have symptoms of "being drunk" at blood alcohol levels below the legal definition of being drunk. Also, people who drink alcohol frequently may not have symptoms until higher blood alcohol levels are reached.
Alcohol increases the risk of:
Drinking during pregnancy can harm the developing baby. Severe birth defects or fetal alcohol syndrome are possible.
If you drink alcohol, it is best to do so in moderation. Moderation means the drinking is not getting you intoxicated, or drunk, and you are drinking no more than 1 drink per day if you are a woman and no more than 2 if you are a man. A drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of liquor.
Here are some ways to drink responsibly, provided you do not have a drinking problem, are of legal age to drink alcohol, and are not pregnant:
If you are taking medication, including over-the-counter drugs, check with your doctor before drinking alcohol. Alcohol can intensify the effects of many drugs and can interact with other drugs, making them ineffective or dangerous, or making you sick.
Do NOT drink if you have a history of alcohol abuse or alcoholism.
If alcoholism runs in your family, you may be at increased risk of developing alcoholism yourself, and may want to avoid drinking alcohol altogether.

Space dust - was the movie Golden Compass on to something?
Researchers from the University of Hawaii – Manoa (UHM) School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and University of California – Berkeley discovered that interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) could deliver water and organics to the Earth and other terrestrial planets.
Interplanetary dust, dust that has come from comets, asteroids, and leftover debris from the birth of the solar system, continually rains down on the Earth and other Solar System bodies. These particles are bombarded by solar wind, predominately hydrogen ions. This ion bombardment knocks the atoms out of order in the silicate mineral crystal and leaves behind oxygen that is more available to react with hydrogen, for example, to create water molecules.
"It is a thrilling possibility that this influx of dust has acted as a continuous rainfall of little reaction vessels containing both the water and organics needed for the eventual origin of life on Earth and possibly Mars," said Hope Ishii, new Associate Researcher in the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (HIGP) at UHM SOEST and co-author of the study. This mechanism of delivering both water and organics simultaneously would also work for exoplanets, worlds that orbit other stars. These raw ingredients of dust and hydrogen ions from their parent star would allow the process to happen in almost any planetary system.
Implications of this work are potentially huge: Airless bodies in space such as asteroids and the Moon, with ubiquitous silicate minerals, are constantly being exposed to solar wind irradiation that can generate water. In fact, this mechanism of water formation would help explain remotely sensed data of the Moon, which discovered OH and preliminary water, and possibly explains the source of water ice in permanently shadowed regions of the Moon.
"Perhaps more exciting," said Ishii, "interplanetary dust, especially dust from primitive asteroids and comets, has long been known to carry organic carbon species that survive entering the Earth's atmosphere, and we have now demonstrated that it also carries solar-wind-generated water. So we have shown for the first time that water and organics can be delivered together."
It has been known since the Apollo-era, when astronauts brought back rocks and soil from the Moon, that solar wind causes the chemical makeup of the dust's surface layer to change. Hence, the idea that solar wind irradiation might produce water-species has been around since then, but whether it actually does produce water has been debated. The reasons for the uncertainty are that the amount of water produced is small and it is localized in very thin rims on the surfaces of silicate minerals so that older analytical techniques were unable to confirm the presence of water.

DETROIT - Detroit Mayor Dave Bing has called for a special meeting with City Council to address the removal of Corporation Counsel Krystal Crittendon.
Bing is seeking a two-thirds vote from City Council to remove Cirttendon from her position at the city's top attorney.
The special meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday at the Committee of the Whole Room at city offices.
Detroit mayor wants city attorney out
In a statement Tuesday, Bing said he had asked Crittendon to resign, but she refused.
Watch: Krystal Crittendon says she doesn't regret filing lawsuit
"With Corporation Counsel's decision not to resign, I plan to meet with the City Council this week, seeking a two-thirds vote to remove her as Corporation Counsel," Bing said. "Corporation Counsel believes she has an ethical obligation to the city to consider, but in my opinion part of that obligation as an attorney is to do no harm to your client, the City of Detroit."
Bing is upset over the lawsuit filed by Crittendon that challenged the consent agreement between the Detroit and the state of Michigan.
Crittendon had argued the city charter prohibits Detroit from making contracts where at least one side owes the other money. She says Michigan owes Detroit $220 million in revenue sharing. Crittendon did not attend the hearing.
City Council not showing support for Bing
Detroit City Council members praised Crittendon's courage and now are calling the mayor's move to remove her rogue. That's after Bing labeled Crittendon's lawsuit action a rogue maneuver.
"I think it's bull****," said City Council President Charles Pugh. "I do. I think that this is unfortunate. The Corporation Counsel was doing her job."

OK, folks, forgive me. I'm sure this subject has been beaten to death, but I have a slightly different question:
YEARS ago I had a headlight modulator that "twinkled." It didn't pulse, and it's modulation pace or frequency was much to fast to be called pulsing. But it twinkled, with a barely perceptible frequency that caught the eye's attention but didn't offend. Anybody out there know what I'm talkin' about? And, I think it might have been called "Starbright." Could such a thing still exist for a CANBUS BMW?
And, on a related note, another question: Has anyone ever connected a headlight modulator to auxiliary lighting, MotoLites or PIAAs?

"Delighful - Beautifully Read"
I didn't know much about about Kipling other than he wrote Jungle Book. I saw the Disney movie. Kipling has been out of fashion for a while being old school British as all, so I was curious and took the chance. I love his playful choice of words. Reiner is the perfect voice for these wonderful, funny stories. This was my first audible, but not my last.
"Horrible Performance"
Just So Stories is an amazing book. My parents read it to me, and I read it to my kids. I've always liked Carl Reiner, so I picked this version. The reading is AWFUL!!! First issue: one might think Reiner was on a clock. He races through the stories so fast it's sometimes hard to follow. And, Just So Stories are best read slowly, with rhythm.
Second issue: Reiner does not correctly read the story. As an example, in the reading of The Elephant's Child, Kipling, when referring to the Limpopo River, repeats the phrase "great grey green greasy Limpopo RIver, all set about with fever trees". It is sing-songy, and the alliteration is great for a child. Reiner never reads it the same way twice, rushing through, leaving out words, and adding the word grassy on occasion. I can't believe some editor didn't correct this. It is HORRIBLE!
I've had Audible books I didn't like. I have many I've not finished. But, I never felt ripped-off before. I want my money back!!! The reading is AWFUL!!!
"Not easy to follow"
While these stories are classic, I found that they were not so easy for my children (5 & 8) to follow in Audible format. There are a lot of unfamiliar words, and many of the stories would be better with illustrations. This is the one book that should be read and not just listened to.

Oral arguments are set for Tuesday afternoon in a lawsuit in which the state is demanding that Orange County pay an annual amount in the neighborhood of $73.5 million.
Judge Robert Moss of Orange County Superior Court will hear the non-jury trial, which could conclude by day's end.
The stakes are big for the county, as the amount in dispute is more than 10 percent of its general purpose revenue, most of which funds law enforcement. If the county comes out on the losing end of the case, the Sheriff's Department and the District Attorney's Office could face cuts.
The foundations of the complex dispute can be traced to the county's 1994 bankruptcy. Afterward, the county needed a way to assure investors that it could make interest and principal payments on bonds it wanted to sell. The solution was a dedicated stream of revenue from vehicle license fee funds, allocated by the state to the county, to back the bonds.
After 2003, the state moved to reimburse counties and cities for revenue they lost when the VLF was cut from 2 percent of a vehicle's value to 0.65 percent. Other counties got to keep more of their property taxes, but since Orange County needed the VLF revenue to back its bonds, it kept more VLF money and less in property taxes than other counties.
In 2005, the county refinanced some of its bond debt and found that its creditworthiness had improved such that the dedicated VLF revenue stream was no longer needed to sell the deal to investors. Still, Orange County continued to receive an extra increment of VLF revenue that 57 other counties did not, the state says.
That changed in 2011, when the state Legislature passed a law ending the annual payment of approximately $50 million in extra VLF revenue that the county had been receiving.
The problem, from the county's perspective, is that during the years it was receiving extra VLF money, the assessed property values rose, while vehicle sales fell. The county's annual take of VLF fees changed each year based on the percentage increase or decrease in total VLF fees statewide, while other counties' take of property taxes changed based on the increase or decrease in assessed property values in their respective counties.
The net result by fiscal 2010-11 is that the county received $23 million less in VLF revenue than it would have received in property tax revenue had it been on the same deal as the other counties, the county says.
That's how the county justified withholding roughly $73.5 million from the state in fiscal 2011-12 and again in 2012-13: combining the $50 million in annual VLF revenue the state took back with the $23 million in property tax revenue the county says it was shortchanged.
If it seems like a lot to sort out, be glad you're not Judge Moss.

"History is repeated."
This book is a very interesting action and adventure book setting in court of Luis XIII, King of France at earlier sixteenth century. It reflects the ignorance in which a King may be living. You can see how a (or more) scropulous person can manipuate a King who only knew the reality through the visión of their advisers. It is a funny book but, at the same time, it is a vivid reflect of the current monarchies.
"Dumas is King!"
His great masterpiece.
Covell does a wonderful job with this enjoyable classic.
"A Classic well worth the listen."
A Classic tale, nothing more to say there. The narration was very good and added to the story. Excellent.
"nobility and storytelling"
On first listen the first ten minutes or the antiquely ornate language put me off and made me think the book might be tedious. Another twenty minutes or so and I was hooked, eventually even by the language itself, which in part carries the spirit of the story, which plays heavily on the romanticism of honor.
A reviewer below seems to say that the French culture depicted was amoral and even degenerate, and there may be some truth to it, but I'd say rather that the characters get their appeal exactly from their having such a lofty sense of "morality", or ethics, or honor - only very different from what we're used to. Strange maybe to us that having a married mistress would be considered honorable, and that it's less whether you kill someone (or are killed) than how you kill or are killed, and for what cause. But despite its weaknesses, it's not weak: it's fun and lively and full-blooded - really living. In our culture, where it feels like lives are thrown away for no reason, while others live lives that risk and mean nothing, it's so terribly appealing to read about people living life on a high and courageous and adventurous edge - heroic. It's not that they don't value life - when I finished the book, after all, I was filled with such a desire that my life could be worth as much as theirs - but life to them is worth so much exactly because they value honor and integrity so much more than life itself. The book puts you in touch with nobility of spirit; it got me seriously thinking how to live in greater adventure.
But beyond this response to that review, I gained an enormous respect for Dumas' storytelling abilities - his way of milking every last bit of pleasure and excitement out of the plot. He makes you eager to know what's going to happen, but you don't want it to happen any faster because you're enjoying the telling so much - in particular the company of the characters (and in particular Athos!). Extremely fun to listen to - and affected me deeply.
"A classic worth reading."
A French historical novel, written in 1844, set in 1625. Both reader and story are terrific. A fabricated plot is woven into the genuine fabric of the assassination of the English Earl of Buckingham. 18 year old D'Artagnan is the protagonist. He travels to Paris to join the Musketeers, the personal guard of King Louis XIII. He is poor, courageous, and an exceptional swordsman. He has no pity. Through duels he repeatedly, at the drop-of-a-hat, kills anyone who insults him. No insult is too trivial. He encounters a mysterious 25 year-old beauty that we subsequently learn is a brilliant but evil spy for Cardinal Richelieu, the King's chief advisor and swore enemy of the Musketeers, even though they serve the same King. The book is translated to English keeping a strong French flavor. The author portrays France as Christian more in appearance than in actuality, depicting a French love-hate relationship with the Roman Catholic Church, and ridicule of Protestant Christianity and the British Empire. Respect is shown for individual Englishmen. If you are an Anglophile this book will confirm your prejudices, i.e., France has always been morally bankrupt. In addition to an absence of respect for life, French chivalry also does not include reverence for the sanctity of the marriage bed, by French men or women. Revenge is a recurrent theme, forgiveness is not. In addition to their addiction to honor, Frenchmen also appear to be addicted to romance with a peculiar, almost feminine, absence of lust. From a 21st century American perspective the book portrays a society destined to implode from the weight of its own moral contradictions. The 3 musketeers are Porthos, Aramis, and Athos. D'Artagnan is their constant companion and a Musketeer aspirant. Milady is the beautiful young sociopathic spy and Cardinal Richelieu is also a sociopath. Books that follow include: 20 Years After, The Viscount do Bragelone, Lousde de Vailiere, and The Man in the Iron Mask.
"Truly Amazing Narration"
The reader of this book was one of the best I have heard on Audible at distinguishing between a large number of voices and keeping the story energized. Make your own mind up about how much the story of swashbucling and mistresses appeals, but rest assured the narrator is excellent!
"Excellent Reading"
I've always enjoyed Dumas as an author. Though all his works are long, you don't feel overwhelmed by them where listening would be a chore. I prefer the unabridged versions from Audible and this was a delight to listen to. I started with the Man in the Iron Mask - I recommend that one as well.
Both readers give great interpretations and bring the characters to life. I really admire Athos in this story, he's my favorite. You can feel his pain as his secret life is slowly revealed in the story.
I also love the way Dumas blends history and fiction together into an enjoyable adventure. I commute for an hour each way daily and enjoy the time where I can escape with a good story. You won't be disappointed in this.
"Give us more Dumas"
A very colorful, passionate story of the musketeers, the King, Cardinal Richelieu, Lord Buckingham, and the Queen of France. Strong characterization and a fascinating, intricate plot. I even felt the same regret the musketeers displayed when they caught-up with My Lady. Each of the Dumas novels available on Audible is highly satisfying: Three Musketeers, Man in the Iron Mask, and Count of Monte Cristo. Let us have even more of the novels made available. I will read any that are added to Audible.
Excellent narrator.
"What's to review"
It's a classic. Read well and holding it's own.Reliably entertaining, witty, fun and a reminder that they did things well once.
Amazing reading by Mr. Covell and an exciting, humorous adventure as always by Mr. Dumas. Loved it.

Unfortunately, the dehydrator had one fruit leather liner missing from the box, but I didn't notice that at first. I used it immediately to dry some cherry tomatos, and the motor appeared to stop working after a few hours. Customer service was exemplary, sending me out a new dehyrdrator immediately, and gave me a label by email to print out for free return shipping. The replacement dehydrator came quickly, and had all its parts. I've had no problems whatsoever with the motor, and I've used it several times to dry tomatos. (I had a bumper crop this year.) All in all, it appears to have been a good buy, and I know I've barely skimmed the surface of its potential uses.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The family of David Pryor is suing rapper Kanye West for allegedly using unlicensed samples on his hit record "Gold Digger." The 2005 hit received much buzz from its obvious sample of Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman."
The children of Pryor, who is now deceased, accused West of sampling a very small part of the song "Bumpin' Bus Stop," which was written and sang by Pryor and his band Thunder & Lightning in 1974.
Trena Steward and Lorenzo Pryor claim that when listening carefully, Pryor can be heard singing "Get Down" three times, echoing West singing, "Get down girl, go head, get down" 13 seconds into the song.
Steward and Pryor each own one-quarter of the song and have asked a judge to put a halt on the sale of the song. They have also asked for "millions of dollars" in damages for the allegedly unlicensed sample.
According to AllHipHop, the lawsuit accuses West and various labels of engaging in a 15-year "illegal copyright infringement scheme and criminal enterprise involving the unauthorized, willful sampling of plaintiffs original copyrighted music on a massive scale." Other labels including Roc-a-Fella Records, Bad Boy Records, Stones Throw Records, Bomb Hip-Hop Records, Autumn Games, Activision, Caroline Distribution and Island Def Jam Music Group have been named in the suit.
This is not the first time West has been sued for using unlicensed samples. Most recently, he was sued in September 2012 by New York label TufAmerica, who claimed that West illegally used portions of a 1969 song by New Orleans legend Eddie Bo on his 2010 album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."
TufAmerica said West's then label Roc-A-Fella paid a $62,500 license fee but "failed and refused to enter into written license agreements that accounted for their multiple other uses of ['Hook and Sling']."
Similarly in 2010, West was sued by Vincent Peters over a copyright dispute for his "Stronger." West's legal counsel referenced the works of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, whose saying "that which does not kill us makes us stronger" is quoted in the song. The court ruled in the rapper's favor.

How do you pronounce Diollaid?", I asked the head stalker.
"Jeelich", he answered as if I should have known. Such are the peculiarities of the Gaelic tongue, when gees are dees and ems and bees are more than often vees or hees.
My brother and I had just returned to the car park below 'the rocky hill of the saddle', as Sgorr na Diollaid, is translated; the stalker, smartly dressed in shirt and tie and Cannich Tweeds, had pulled in for a friendly blether. One thing we learned from our conversation was that, as with other areas north of the Great Glen, there had been plenty of snow this past winter, and the snows had been followed by plenty more rain; spring and early summer had come along reluctantly. Apparently, if we were to believe our land-wise friend, we were in for a soggy trek underfoot.
Our starting point was a little roadside car park by the farm of Muchrachd; here a bridge spans the River Cannich as it begins its final race to its mingling with the waters of Loch Mullardoch.
Steep, sheep and rabbit cropped grass led us north and upwards into the gloomy grey of an unpromising damp morning. On our return the stalker would tell us about his 'muir burning' operations of a few months past. "You'll have found it still a bit black on the lower slopes", he would say; to be sure we had!
In order to encourage the growth of fresh young heather shoots, (so much relished by the grouse on these hills), shooting estates burn huge swathes of moor and hillside every year; each year the palls of white smoke on our hillsides bear witness to the work in hand. So it was that we were soon up amongst the charred stalks, the now feint acrid smell of the burnt vegetation assailing our nostrils and the blackness darkening our boots and gaiters.
We were glad, after a few hundred feet or so of climbing, to arrive on less steep unharmed grass.
Beneath a low roof of cloud we walked over open country; with no views as yet we might as well have been walking in the farmer's field. That soon changed, however!
It was noticeable how, with every few dozen feet or so of ascent, the wind was gathering its strength; there was a 'smir' of light rain, not much more than a heavy mist, yet soon our coats were glistening wet. We plodded on over trackless ground until our target ridge came into view, (if a vague shadowy greyness in the distance could be could a view). As we drew closer we could make out a much rockier profile and steeper ground. It always amazes me how the mist seems to make everything else look larger than life; each tiny droplet of moisture in the atmosphere seems to act as a magnifying lens. Even so, we still had a fair distance to cover and by now the buffeting wind was doing its best to hold us back.
And the ground was becoming rockier too, in one or two places forcing us to circumnavigate the small crags and outcrops which began to appear along our intended line of progress.
Like a pair of warriors squaring up for battle, two distinct rocky tops straddle the summit of Sgorr na Diollaid; it's probably the dip between them, seen best from the north, that forms the eponymous saddle. The easternmost eminence is the actual summit, for this we made a bee line.
Well, a bee line of sorts. There is a grassy and comparatively easy route to this summit, trouble was, we were now finding the battering of the wind somewhat irritating; much of the time it was difficult to keep upright, let alone walk! Reluctantly we contoured around to the much steeper, heather clad slope that guarded the summit. Certainly we were out of the wind here, but now it was our thighs that had to take the brunt of the unwelcome climb that faced us.
The heather was deep. A few straggling sheep or deer trods helped to ease us up here and there but for the most part it was heads down and let the thighs do the donkey work.
Deep heather, and the lurking boulders such rank vegetation tends to conceal, call for care; no problem here as the steep gradient forced us into a safe enough pace. And yet it didn't seem to take us overlong to arrive at the final flattening below the summit's rocky tors.
In fact there are two tors, close together. When I reached the top of the main plinth, my brother had already scurried across the narrow gap and was leaning into the gale atop the second.
After I'd photographed him on his perch he raced back to join me; "it was freezing up there!" he told me. And so it was. I took my turn on the airy platform and waited for him to photograph me. Across the short intervening gap I yelled instructions; it was bitterly cold up here and difficult to stay upright: "have you taken the shot yet?", I screamed. There was no response! He could see my mouth opening and closing as I shouted across the gap; he could see my arms wildly waving signals; yet the wind was literally plucking the words from my tongue and flinging them behind me. Uncanny!
At last he gave me the 'thumbs up". I made my way back and together we scrambled off and found a welcome cranny in the rocks in the base of the little cliff that supports Sgorr na diollaid's summit. Tea and sandwiches at last, and of course some cake!
We'd paid little attention to the weather conditions as we'd battled to the summit; certainly the light rain that had dampened us had all but stopped. Any views however were as watery as they come. Sgorr na Diollaid, as is often the case with Corbetts, is a fine viewpoint in good weather; many Munros and fellow Corbetts surround the hill. Alas those views were muted today; we did better to look downward at the battleship grey sheets of water that are the Lochs that tear into the glens that cut up this quadrant of the Highlands.
Sgorr na Diollaid, at 818 metres, is a fine hill suitable for an easy afternoon or even an evening stroll, the walk could easily be accomplished in a couple of hours if you're inclined to hurry. On a day of good weather it is worthy of more, being a fine hill to linger on and relish some pretty impressive views. Today the weather had been less than kind. That said it was probably the weather, and especially the gale force winds we encountered, that added frisson to what might otherwise have been a dull day out. That wind in fact contrived to blow us most of the way back down; perhaps today Sgorr na Diollaid wished to be alone...

(Reuters) - The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has given disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong two more weeks to cooperate fully in an investigation into cycling's darkest episode in return for a possible reduction of his life ban.
Armstrong had initially been set a February 6 deadline by USADA to answer questions under oath, but that was extended on Wednesday after the athlete's attorney Timothy Herman said the timing for an interview could not be accommodated.
"We have been in communication with Mr. Armstrong and his representatives and we understand that he does want to be part of the solution and assist in the effort to clean up the sport of cycling," chief executive Travis Tygart said in a statement.
"We have agreed to his request for an additional two weeks to work on details to hopefully allow for this to happen."
After years of denials, Armstrong admitted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey last month that he had cheated his way to a record seven Tour de France titles with systematic use of banned, performance-enhancing drugs.
Last year he was stripped of his titles after being labeled a "serial cheat" by the USADA.
Tygart then told the CBS "60 Minutes" program on January 27 that his agency had requested an interview with Armstrong while disputing the cyclist's claims of a clean comeback in 2009.
"His blood tests in 2009, 2010 ... one to a million chance that it was due to something other than doping," Tygart said.
In a letter to USADA on January 25, Henman said his client was willing to cooperate with the agency but that pre-existing obligations made the February 6 deadline impossible.
In that letter, Herman raised questions about the role of the USADA in ridding cycling of performance-enhancing drugs. He noted that "professional cycling is and has been largely a European sport".
Herman applauded the International Cycling Union's announcement that it would work with the World Anti-Doping Agency in a broad probe into the use of drugs and rely on a "truth and reconciliation" process.
"As such, we would like to make sure we coordinate with the truth and reconciliation process to examine the culture of doping in cycling in the past and to clear the air so that cycling can move forward," Herman wrote.
Armstrong, 41, said in his interview with Winfrey on her cable network OWN that the lifetime ban against him was like a "death penalty".
He added that he had no ambitions to return to professional cycling but would like to compete in sanctioned athletic events.

Ukraine has become the leader in the market volume of Bitcoin
While the Ukrainian authorities are considering whether to recognize Bitcoin as a currency, the volume of the crypto-currency market in our country continues to grow. According to a large-scale study conducted by Citibank analysts, Ukraine is among the four countries in terms of the size of the Bitcoin market: it reached $ 2.5 billion, or about 2.5% of GDP. And this is without taking into account all the numerous altcoyins, such as Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, etc., notes UBR.ua. In the neighborhood with Ukraine, Russia (5% of GDP), New Zealand (4% of GDP) and Nigeria (3.5% of GDP) were located. It is these states, according to Citibank, who will suffer most when the crypto bubble bursts. And that they will not doubt at all that this will happen.

More changes for Downtown Disney
Posted 12 July 2011 - 12:08 PM
Work continues on bringing our vision for Downtown Disney to life and we are excited to announce two experiences that will be coming to Downtown Disney over the coming months: Splitsville, a 50,000-square-foot upscale entertainment center that combines bowling with billiards, dining, music and nightlife; and Apricot Lane, a specialty retail store that offers celebrity-inspired branded apparel, affordable fashion jewelry, handbags and accessories.
Splitsville I would think will take over were Ridermakerz ( this is moving to Marketplace) is now and Apricot Lane where Harley Davidson used to be.

I am just not sure it was the best use of their money. Of course they are not using any real R&D money, or licensing so it probably was a relatively cheap investment.

Posted 17 September 2011 - 12:24 AM
Some new details have been announced here: http://www.insidethe...t-disney-world/
And after 8pm, guests are encouraged to wear evening attire as Splitsville turns to adult-oriented nightlife. In fact, other Splitsville locations require guests to be age 21 and up to enter after 8pm. Its not yet clear whether this policy will continue at the Walt Disney World location, a traditional home of family-friendly entertainment.
Over on Pleasure Island, weve completed removing some of the buildings that arent part of our future plans. During the course of this site work, we identified opportunities to further refine our master plan and are pausing to evaluate them. What does this mean for you? While were moving quickly, it will admittedly cause a delay in construction. But were willing to bet that any delay will be worth the wait once were able to share details about the exciting work weve been doing.
Construction on Splitsville will begin this fall with no opening date set.
Although I doubt this will be a 21 and up venue, I do see this as something that will make a huge impact on traffic.

Manufacturers, energy firms amp up output with SAS® Analytics
SAS® Predictive Asset Maintenance with SAS® Visual Analytics helps raise productivity, boost profits, avert failures
Equipment failures aren't merely costly – they can be dangerous for employees and disastrous for the environment. Predictive analytics from business analytics leader SAS helps aircraft maintenance providers, manufacturers, energy companies and more use big data collected from machines and equipment to predict issues before they cause brutal disruptions.
SAS® Predictive Asset Maintenance helps companies like POSCO and Shell Exploration & Production Company avoid unplanned downtime and keep production goals on target. With the added power of SAS® Visual Analytics, companies can easily analyze data to find systemic root causes, ensure higher safety and protect production commitments.
"Competitive pressure and increasingly tight regulations require analytical solutions that exceed traditional asset management systems," said Reinhard Hoene, SAS Senior Product Manager. "Organizations that couple predictive analytics with visual analytics essentially have a data 'GPS' helping them find the critical information in their mountain of data. Being able to see performance degradations early and take preventive measures before an issue becomes a costly or dangerous problem – that is priceless."
For large-scale projects such as massive defense contracts, a critical lack of predictive analytics is almost like flying blind.
"Operational disruptions and catastrophic accidents often happen when maintenance procedures aren't followed reliably," said Andrew Hess, President of the PHM Society and former lead for prognostics and health management (PHM) on the US Department of Defense's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program. "When you can't accurately predict impending failures and estimate useful life remaining, you risk significant reduction in system availability.
"SAS Predictive Asset Maintenance takes the guesswork out of equipment maintenance," he continues, explaining that predictable equipment maintenance is a constant consideration in many industries, including defense, oil and gas production, and manufacturing. Hess advises companies against trying to create their own alert systems. "Why build your own when SAS Predictive Asset Maintenance has what you need and then some? This proven software provides accurate insight into what needs attention before disaster strikes or operations suffer. It's a no-brainer."
Fortifying Hess' view, other industry experts identify unscheduled downtime as one of the biggest challenges facing energy processing plants. The ARC Advisory Group says unscheduled shutdowns and slowdowns account for as much as 7 percent of lost production. The US Department of Energy estimates that a functional predictive maintenance program could create a tenfold return on investment, increasing production up to 25 percent.
SAS Predictive Asset Maintenance can help a company move from a reactive "What's happening?" to a predictive "What needs service or replacement now to keep production humming during the next service cycle?" Recent upgrades to SAS Predictive Asset Maintenance offer an expanded data model, greater data selection options and a flexible framework that supports various industries. With SAS Predictive Asset Maintenance, companies can extend the life of expensive assets without increasing the likelihood of equipment failures.
SAS Predictive Asset Maintenance combines powerful data integration, visualization, descriptive and predictive analytics, and business intelligence to create an unbiased, big-picture view of asset performance. These capabilities increase uptime while optimizing maintenance costs and asset life cycles by predicting events that cause outages. Future asset or process failures are easier to solve because prior mitigation efforts are recorded in a centralized knowledge repository, facilitating speedy root cause analysis.
SAS Visual Analytics is a high-performance, in-memory solution designed to quickly explore large amounts of data. Users can spot patterns, identify opportunities for further analysis and convey visual results via Web reports or iPad® and Android tablets.
SAS Visual Analytics quickly reads data into memory for ultra-fast processing and the resulting data visualization. Users can then explore all data, execute analytic correlations on billions of rows of data in just minutes or seconds, and visually present results.
Learn more about SAS Predictive Asset Maintenance by downloading a white paper titled Driving Corporate Performance with Predictive Maintenance Solutions, by visiting the SAS website or by calling Joanne Butzier at 919-531-8000.
