Since yesterday was Tuesday, Mud Hens pitcher Humberto Sanchez knew he was in Toledo.
Sanchez has been on a whirlwind tour of the Midwest since leaving his teammates in Indianapolis Saturday and flying to Pittsburgh, where he was the starter for the World Team in the Futures Game played at PNC Park in conjunction with Major League Baseball's All-Star Game.
Sanchez, who joined several Toledo teammates in signing autographs at the ProMedica Health System Fan Fest at the SeaGate Centre yesterday, said participating in the Futures Game was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"You're playing with and against the cream of the crop in the minor leagues [at the Futures Game]," Sanchez said. "It's unbelievable to be on a big-league stage with all of those guys."
While Sanchez is not playing in today's ProMedica Health Systems All-Star Game at Fifth Third Field, Round Rock pitcher Jason Hirsh is one of four players who will participate in both games. Hirsh started for the United States team in the Futures Game.
"It was kind of a blur," Hirsh said of his start. "I tried not to think about it being a big stadium and who I was pitching against. I just tried to throw strikes and stay ahead of hitters.
"[The Triple-A All-Star Game] is not a lot of stress, except that you sign a lot of autographs. It's a lot of fun."
Two of the Pacific Coast League's starting infielders, shortstop Stephen Drew and second baseman Howie Kendrick, also participated in the Futures Game. Both said there was no doubt they would participate in both.
"Everybody loves the days off, but fans and people around the league vote for you to attend this game so I feel I owe it to them to be a part of this," Kendrick said. "I'm happy to be here, and I hope to put on a show for the fans who have come to see me."
The fourth participant in both games is Charlotte's Josh Fields, who met his family and girlfriend in Pittsburgh and drove with them to Toledo as a sort of family vacation.
"It's exciting just to be nominated for both," Fields said. "Playing in them is definitely an honor. I may be a little tired at the end of this run, but it's worth it."
MUD HENS MOVES: The Mud Hens will make a move to bolster their catching corps when they return to action tomorrow.
Catcher Mike Rabelo will be promoted from Double-A Erie to take the place of Max St-Pierre, who will go on the disabled list with a rib injury. Rabelo hit .277 in 62 games for the SeaWolves with six homers and 28 RBIs.
Rabelo is playing in the Eastern League All-Star Game today in Altoona, Pa., and will fly to Scranton to join the team tomorrow.
Mud Hens manager Larry Parrish said he does not know when infielder Mike Hessman will return to the team. Hessman left during the recent road trip to be with his father, who was involved in a four-wheeler accident.
WRITERS CRAMP: Among the items for the All-Stars to sign are 10 dozen baseballs, six bats, three visitor's jerseys and three home jerseys, a base with a Mud Hens' logo and a sign with the logo for the event.
Participants in Monday's ProMedica Health System Home Run Derby also were asked to sign four seats with All-Star Game logos and another dozen baseballs.
TICKET SITUATION: Fewer than 200 $15 standing-room-only tickets remain for tonight's contest.
The team also has $5 "block party" tickets available. Those tickets, while not providing access to the ballpark, will allow fans to watch the game from behind the left-field fence on Monroe Street.
Monroe is closed between Superior and St. Clair streets.

How are you activating Ultimate?
GRUB can irreparably corrupt Win7 so it needs to be wiped from the HD first: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Then it's best to install Ubuntu to another HD with WIn7 unplugged, then boot either via BIOS to keep GRUB off the system so it can't corrupt Win7.

What is Going on with the World Markets and Stock Markets Today?
A. I get that the passive aggressive weather attacks, and China ramping up their military and gold reserves has moved to the next phase of a transition of power. This hit the pinnacle point with the recent explosion in the ship yard of China... And now the momentum is rolling to evoke change in the financial system.
China has been accumulating a large amount of gold for a long time now. They are hoping to position themselves to be in control of the next world currency because they have the tangible assets to back it up. Many countries don't like the tactics the US uses to maintain power (especially the ability to just print more money), and would like to see something more "fair and solid" in place. China sees this opportunity and is trying to emerge as the new superpower.
China finally reached a point that they are able to do this (I hear something about their "resume being complete now") and put things in motion. China started by manipulating their own market, realizing there would be a trickle down effect to other countries. China realizes that we must hit a low before change will take place, and we can rebuild with something real.
Last week when the Powers that Be sent China a message that if China doesn't "play" with them then they are against them by inducing an explosion on Chinese soil, China retaliated by causing a situation that started crashing the markets. China has no desire to be controlled.
Q. So what happens now?
A. The people in the know are getting rich (selling and buying when stocks are low), but the majority of people are losing. I see this continuing to plunge overall (the fear driven domino effect is in motion). I also get the rebound will take some significant time..
Q. How will this effect the price of Gold and Silver?
A. The overall shock of what is happening will drive prices of everything down. Precious metals will not suffer to the extend of the rest of the markets, but will see a subtle dip. Once this rides out, I get that precious metals will start to emerge and will be the first to gain their real value. People will see metals (that are tangible) as something secure and safe to hold versus electrons in the stock market. I see this as being the important point when silver and gold emerge and silver certificates start to separate from the tangible silver.
And that is all I have for this reading. Thank you. Love and light-

I am not that familiar with the stock market but at some point it seemed the trading was halted when the market froze for at least an hour. hhhmm
Finished within a 1000 points of the open day at the beginning of January .

I didn't know that China is powerful enough to crash the whole world's stock markets. If I understood Lynn correctly, does it mean that the powers-to-be will also lose money in this stock crash? It's good to see China fighting back after the detonation of the bomb in China.

Ok, the game starts to be in plain sight so. But for us, mundane people, will this starts to touch our personnal saving, bank account, live incoming ? I know we need to get off this "babylonian slave money trick", but we will be affected by this ?
When you see they (PTB) try to put in motion the acceptation a this "Bail in" law(in US and EU), restriction of the withdraw cash amount and now the negative interest in savings (like in JP Morgan banks). Did the rapture of the people money going to start, here in West civilization, or they need more preparations around the world ressources (oil in Iraq, gold/diamond mining in africa, etc...) ?
As always ! Thanks for this reading, Lynn !

If in the states you should have a Mint like this place http://nwtmint.com/
They usually have current pricing on the website .
Kitco.com is good site to keep track of pricing as well.
Check in with your local pawn shops there is always trading going on there an at times it might be cheaper in the long run to go through them then paying gas,tolls etc if mint is to far away .

Now that China has the momentum going its kinda obvious that the US is going to strick back for what they did. I was wondering is there going to be a point were money is going to be useless for us and the US has no choice but to jump on board. I'm sure this going to affect us in some way..just wanna prepare.. Winters Coming.

Great comments, and thank you for answering each other.
There are some places that people can get real gold and silver. Coin shops are a good place. SD bullion is another place online. I suggest the older years versus the newer.
The PTB are selling higher and buying lower (why the stocks tend to "bounce" throughout the day) so they earn some money by trading that way. I also see them getting money out of the US and into other countries that can't touch it once things settle..

Award Winning Artist, Jewel to Speak and Perform at the 2013 GBTA Convention
The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), the voice of the global business travel industry, today announced four-time Grammy® nominee, Jewel, will take the stage at the GBTA Convention 2013 being held August 4-7, 2013 in San Diego, CA.
Jewel will speak and perform during the Monday, August 5th General Session luncheon. Her appearance is made possible by Sabre Travel Network, GetThere & Travelocity Business.
"Being on tour is one of the most iconic images and a staple of a musician's career. Jewel began her career hitch hiking with her guitar from her native Alaska throughout the U.S. and Mexico, rose to success in San Diego where she was discovered and now travels the world," said Michael W. McCormick, Executive Director and COO of GBTA. "Our members will connect with her inspirational life and lyrics. We are thrilled to have Jewel perform at Convention."
After struggling as a singer songwriter, Jewel was discovered and her debut album, Pieces of You, was released in February 1995, and became one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, selling 10 million copies in the U.S. alone. Jewel has always been a charismatic live performer, earning the respect of such musical icons as Merle Haggard, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, who not only invited her to open for them on tour but also mentored her. She has sold over 27 million albums, including two children's albums. Her 2008 country album debut, "Perfectly Clear" reached the top, number one spot on the Billboard country album charts.
Shortly after being discovered, Jewel founded Project Clean Water. Having personal experience with being able to afford clean drinking water, she became relentless in her efforts to bring safe water to those in need and create awareness of clean water shortages around the world. Project Clean Water targets villages around the world with a lack of clean water and works with them to find sustainable solutions. The non-profit foundation has so far helped 30 communities in 13 countries.
Project Clean Water has recently partnered with Virgin Unite and the Voss Foundation to create the "Give a Drop" campaign. Money raised through donations will benefit the partnership, which is currently working in Pel in the Dogon region of Mali, where 40 water retention structures were recently completed.

India to Get Jeeps, Other New Models Under Chrysler, Fiat Plan
By Santanu Choudhury and Kenan Machado
MUMBAI--Italian auto giant Fiat SpA and U.S. unit Chrysler Group LLC Thursday announced a renewed push in India, saying that they will introduce a series of new models -- including Jeep's Wrangler and Grand Cherokee -- as they look to catch up with rivals such as Suzuki Motor Corp., General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co.
"Our vision for India will revolve around a three-pronged strategy," said Mike Manley, chief executive of the Jeep brand and chief operating officer of Fiat-Chrysler Asia Pacific.
"First, introduction of new vehicles that will soon include the legendary Jeep brand. Second, the expansion of our independent dealer network and, finally, marketing initiatives that will continue to improve our awareness and brand perception," said Mr. Manley.
He added that Fiat -- which ended a six-year-old alliance with Tata Motors Ltd. seven months ago -- will introduce the iconic Jeep brand toward the end of 2013.
Both the Wrangler and the Grand Cherokee will be imported as completely-built units and marketed by Fiat's wholly-owned unit in India.
In addition, Fiat and Jeep will jointly introduce seven new vehicle models or upgrades of existing cars in India in the next few years, Mr. Manley said. He declined to elaborate on the models or the price that they will sell for.
Separately, Enrico Atanasio, managing director of Fiat Group Automobiles India Pvt. Ltd., said that the company will replace the Grande Punto hatchback with another model in the same segment. He declined to give a timeframe.
Fiat's plans come as the company seeks to reverse its muted performance in India where it sells only two car models--the Grande Punto and the Linea sedan.

Library Archives
The Miami Shores Archives consists of a collection of artifacts, photographs, newspaper clippings, public records, books, and other historical materials pertaining to the history of Miami Shores Village, Miami-Dade County, and Florida. These materials have been gathered from several sources.
The greatest amount of material comes from the collection of long time Village Manager Lawton McCall, and Dr. Thelma Peters, a historian who specialized in the history of the county. Other sources include: Brockway Memorial Library, Miami Shores Village, and several individual donations. Many of the materials date from 1925.
In 1999, as part of the fiftieth anniversary celebration of Brockway Memorial Library, these materials were gathered and sorted by volunteers and library staff. More than one hundred site files, over five hundred real estate advertisements and many photographs, books and other miscellaneous items were processed. When the North Dade Medical Foundation Media Center was completed, the archives, which had been temporarily housed at Village Hall, were brought to their new and permanent headquarters.
The archives are an ongoing project. Their purpose is to serve as a research tool for those interested in the history of Miami Shores, and to make its residents aware of this "treasure". Through donations and other sources, the collection continues to grow. These materials are available to the public by appointment.
Please call the library for an appointment if you wish to do research in the Archives. 305-758-8107

Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times has many, many pieces where he pines for the NHL to grace Seattle. He stirs up passions with stories of the NHL leaders meeting with rich guys who drop hints of Seattle, Bellevue, or Tukwilla sites for an arena. Eventually, reality comes crashing in, as in today's piece from a AP Sports Editors meeting. Nobody with as deep pockets as Ballmer is rumored for the NHL in Seattle, and without an NBA team committing both city and private money to an arena, any NHL team would need to throw in big money.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman made it clear Friday that Seattle needs an arena plan and financing in place before the league even considers expanding there.
"From a distance, it won't warrant — if it does at all — serious consideration until there's a realistic expectation that there's going to be an arena there,'' Bettman said. "You've got your approvals, you've got your financing — you're ready to go. You're basically saying, 'Listen, if we get a team, we're committed to and are ready to break ground, because this building can be a reality.' ''
Why, yes, for a league with many teams on shaky financials, it probably doesn't make sense to expand to Seattle until a gift arena suddenly appears. Would you like to look at the KeyArena, because the city council would love to show you around and could cut a nice deal ?

Yet up to this point Spurs' strength in depth hasn't really been tested. Apart from having to swap his centre-halves around, Harry Redknapp has been fortunate in being able to pick a fairly settled side.
Most of his big-hitters have been available every week, with Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Scott Parker and Rafael van der Vaart hardly missing a match.
The same can be said for Emmanuel Adebayor, who has started every league game since scoring on his debut at Wolves in September. He won't be starting on Sunday though, as his parent club, Manchester City won't allow it.
As a result, Redknapp must figure out the best way to go without his centre-forward who plays such a key part in attacking moves. Jermain Defoe looks set to win a rare start, but does the striker get company in the form of Roman Pavlyuchenko or play up front on his own with Van der Vaart behind?
To be honest, given City's formation, the former scenario looks favourite in some shape or form. Roberto Mancini always overloads the midfield so Spurs can't afford to get swamped in that area. Van der Vaart can drop back to make up the numbers, then take turns with Bale and Modric to support Defoe.
But that's the other key decision facing Redknapp: whether to pair Modric with Parker in central midfield or to use a more defensive-minded player such as Jake Livermore as Parker's deep-lying ally. Modric could then start from one of the flanks.
Whatever his decision, Redknapp should have enough players on that pitch to test City's resolve, which isn't quite so strong without Yaya Touré and the suspended Vincent Kompany.
Stefan Savic, in fact, has proved a bit of a worry as Kompany's replacement. While he was better against Wigan on Monday night, the centre-half looked both nervous and rash in conceding an early penalty to Liverpool in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final.
One fault the coaches have been trying to iron out is the 21 year-old's eagerness to always try to win the ball, whether it's wise or not. That youthful exuberance leads to him giving away fouls when he should be staying goal-side and holding his position.
This could therefore be something for Defoe to exploit if the forward is alive when the ball is played in. If Defoe sees Savic coming, he can roll the defender and spin away by knocking the ball around the corner first-time (see graphic). If Joleon Lescott can't get across, Defoe might be in. That's one possible avenue for Spurs in a match that will tell us more about their title credentials.
After Swansea's stirring win over Arsenal last Sunday, some of us from Sky popped into the office of Brendan Rodgers, just to say 'well done' before heading home. It had, after all, been a momentous day.
So there we stood, chatting to the coaching staff. Alongside Rodgers, Alan Curtis, Colin Pascoe and Adrian Tucker were obviously chuffed with how things had gone. The strict footballing principles held so dear in these parts had been proved to work against a big club. Yet modesty prevailed. No one got over-excited. Everyone spoke with a smile but in a measured way. It was only when we left and were halfway down the corridor that a huge cheer erupted from that small office. A tight group of professionals could finally celebrate together. Swansea had arrived. That much was clear.
On the subject of managers enjoying their first year in the top flight, Paul Lambert must get a mention for the way he has gone about his job at Norwich. To achieve successive promotions and still remain competitive points to a manager of unusual talent. And one of those talents has been bringing out the best in Grant Holt and Steve Morison, two centre-forwards quite fond of putting themselves about.
Consequently, Saturday might be a good time for Gary Cahill to make his Chelsea debut. Because the way Norwich play, swinging balls into the box, every Chelsea defender will need to be strong.

More studies are needed on long-term effects of the use of sleep aids.
All individuals who take sleep aids need to also focus on improving their sleep practices. The sedating or calming effects of hypnotics may lead to falls for those awakening at night. Hypnotics may also increase the risk of sleepwalking in some people.
One study also found a higher risk for car accidents in older adults taking long-acting sleeping medications, particularly during the first week of use.
Moreover, many persons taking hypnotics need to understand that sleep aids should be gradually decreased rather than stopped all at once. Without gradual tapering, stopping hypnotic use may cause insomnia to come back. Individuals should work with their doctors to discontinue medication gradually.
People at risk while taking hypnotics include:

Last week, Charles Bolden, top administrator of NASA announced that the space agency plans to send a robotic spaceship to lasso a small asteroid and bring it closer to the moon for astronauts to explore. According to him the asteroid lasso mission would halt any apocalypse scenario in future.
In February, a large meteor hit Russia and injured around 1,000 people. Conspiracy theorists called the meteor explosion a U.S. military test. After that event, U.S. President Barack Obama's administration announced that the States would work on asteroid tracking technology to avoid potentially more severe Earth collisions. Last week, NASA's top senate Charles Bolden announced that NASA plans to send a robotic spaceship in 2020 to capture a near-Earth asteroid (NEA) and bring it into orbit around the moon. After that astronauts would go to the asteroid, collect its sample by mining, bring the samples back to Earth, and conduct further research.
According to Charles Bolden, asteroid lasso mission might "prevent an asteroid from colliding with devastating force into our planet."
John Grunsfeld, NASA's science mission directorate associate administrator said, "We have a pretty good theory that single-planet species don't survive. We don't want to test it, but we have some evidence of that happening 65 million years ago (when an asteroid killed much of Earth's life). That will happen again someday … we want to have the capability (to leave the planet) in case of the threat of large-scale destruction on Earth."
Although, NASA submitted $100 million budget to start Asteroid capture mission, the U.S. government sanctioned $78 million dollars for the fiscal year 2014. The Obama administration hopes to put astronauts on a near-Earth asteroid by 2025. It is being assumed that NASA will use its Orion spacecraft for this mission.

Art on the Green: Mad. Sq. Art
by Brooke Kamin Rapaport
Madison Square Park, the 6.2-acre swath of green in Manhattan's Flatiron District, faces some challenges after opening its third season of outdoor sculpture exhibitions. Initially teamed with New York's Public Art Fund, the Madison Square Park Conser-vancy launched an independent contemporary sculpture program in June 2004. To date, its one-artist exhibitions have featured Mark di Suvero, Sol LeWitt, Jene Highstein, and now Ursula von Rydingsvard, whose work is on view through February 28, 2007. While all of these artists work in an abstract visual language, future projects are planned that deviate from a Modernist-derived idiom. Sound artist Bill Fontana, Roxy Paine, whose pieces focus on nature gone awry, and Charles Simonds, who creates imaginary civilizations in clay, are all slated for forthcoming shows. Madison Square Park has become a gallery without walls, where art is installed in landscaped "rooms" across the lawn. The program is trend-setting in its installation practice, relying on museological models for displaying massive sculpture. The test for the park's programmers is to continue to attract major sculptors while bringing first-rate sculpture to a varied viewing audience.

It's podcast time again everyone, so for those of you looking to make your drive to work go quicker tomorrow, I hope you'll be tuning in. 🙂
Like most episodes, the topics of this week's conversation vary, with thoughts on bringing my family with me on a road trip to HubSpot's Inbound conference, to the future of Content Marketing, and many other subjects.
Here are a few of the questions you sent in that I discuss in this episode, and as always, if you'd like a question answered on the podcast don't hesitate to shoot it to me here or leave your comment below!
What is the future for Content Marketing?
-Arnie Kuenn, Vertical Measures
Thoughts on Blogs Getting Poor Results and Why…
Hi Marcus,
Many thanks for the ebook :-). To answer your question, my biggest struggle with inbound and content marketing is that I don't seem to be getting enough audience for my blog, presumably due to high competition.
I blog about a specific niche (.NET programming) in the broader topic of software development
I thoroughly research my content before posting genuine topics, but still its been about 3-4 years since I'm blogging regularly and the hitcount has barely reached 30k!
May I request you to go through my blog-posts and give me some helpful advice. Is this topic worth blogging?
Thoughts on Marketing a Small Business when You Know Nothing About that Business
Hi Marcus,
Right now by biggest struggle with inbound and content marketing is getting started with adequate research to create content, and tools. I graduated in May and have recently been hired as Marketing Coordinator for a small business. I am currently in charge of all of the web content, advertising etc. My boss wants a new website and new online marketing practices, I attended the Inbound conference last week which is how I came across your blog & e-book. I am having trouble trying to form content for the blog, and putting together a strong and meaningful marketing campaign using blogs/newsletters and web design.
Thoughts on Finding Balance Between Personal and Professional w/ Content Marketing
Hi, Marcus.
I really enjoyed your session at the BDN conference, well done!
Biggest struggle with Inbound & Content Marketing:
1) striking the balance in the content of our webpage to be hip and yet professional. Transitioning the personality so to speak.
2) Pulling enough involvement of our practitioners into the mix so we deliver the best information we can.
I just changed our about us page from "old style" content to a different twist on our core "about us" statements.
Thoughts on Becoming a HubSpot Partner and Starting a Marketing Agency
Marcus, I work in advertising sales for a large media company. My focus at the company is digital media sales and we have a lot of solutions to offer our clients, from online display to SEO and SEM to name a few. However, I'm a big fan of content and inbound marketing, and know in my heart this is the way to go. I've started a side gig where I created my own online community running site which helped me to land a local running store as a client, as well as some other local small businesses to help with their web design and content marketing and they have all seen great success. Even though I have a good income and benefits I'm not satisfied with my job because I know that interruption advertising isn't efficient and content/inbound marketing works. I'm considering resigning early next year to start my own consultancy and would like to become a Hubspot partner. It would be just me in the beginning but I have contacts who I could send out work to if needed. Do you recommend becoming a Hubspot partner if I'm only a one man show? Is there anything that I need to consider that I may not be thinking about? Also I see that most Hubspot partners focus on larger clients with retention packages being from $2K to $10K per month. Obviously this is a good strategy since you don't need a whole lot of clients at that rate. However, being a one person operation initially I thought about focusing on smaller businesses with a lower hourly rate than most agencies are charging. A few smaller clients would be enough for me to make it on my own since I won't need to pay a staff. What are your thoughts on this?

and the first thing that we agree to affirm and promote is
"the inherent worth and dignity of every human being."
Our congregations have made an agreement that we will act together to affirm and promote, which are "doing" words: verbs.
At this point in time, saying "Black Lives Matter" is the cutting edge of our first principle. The status quo assumes that they don't, in any meaningful way.
I am calling upon our congregations to fulfill the obligations of our mutual covenant: to act visibly to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every human being, by proclaiming that "Black Lives Matter" to the wider communities where they are.
Haven't we have all ready promised each other we would do so?

Apple released an update to its iBooks iOS app late Wednesday. iBooks 3.0.2 aims to fix a bug that causes the app to frequently crash when used in iOS 6.
iBooks 3 was released in late October after being introduced as part of Apple's iPad mini media event. The update brought several key features to the e-reader software, including vertical scrolling, an easy way to receive updates to purchased books, iCloud integration, and expanded support for international languages in the built-in dictionary.
After upgrading to iBooks 3, many users, including the staff at TMO, unfortunately experienced frequent crashes when using the app on devices running iOS 6. The instability was not fixed by the 3.0.1 update, released October 29.
With Wednesday's release of version 3.0.2, Apple appears to have addressed the issue. The update notes simply state: "iBooks 3.0.2 resolves an issue where iBooks may unexpectedly quit."
It may be too early to definitively declare the issue resolved but, thus far, our iOS 6 devices that have been upgraded to the latest version have not yet crashed, as they frequently did using previous versions of iBooks 3. According to iTunes reviews of the app, however, some users are still experiencing crashes even after updating.
Did the 3.0.2 update solve your iBooks issues? Let us know in the comments.

Washington, D.C., is a buoyant town, a one-time swamp transformed into a center for government, architectural splendor, and historic events. It's not an intimate town, nor a New York or Tokyo, and it sits but a dark river's distance from the morass of suburbia. But it's our very own capital, a city where we can absorb a sense of nation and world - a vision of excellence, grandeur, and beauty as well.
Washington is a tourist town - for travelers and locals alike, and in December, Washington is a sightseer's glory. If you're fortunate and the city's struck by a full-fledged blizzard, you'll find Washington a sublime assemblage of great stone buildings, brass, and wrought iron against wedges of clean white snow. The glitter of wealth of individual and nation can be picturesque indeed, whether in the fruits of governmental extravagance or of posh domesticity.
Washington's singularity may be one of scale. It is a rare city this size that embraces institutions with the rank of the Smithsonian or the Library of Congress, as well as the beguiling intimacy and taste of a Dumbarton Oaks or Decatur House - small and yet superb monuments to history, architecture or Pre-Columbian art.
The Smithsonian Institution, of course, is Washington's showpiece, seven of its 13 components lining both sides of the National Mall and elucidating and demonstrating every subject from dinosaurs and space shuttles to Oriental art and contemporary sculpture. If you've come to Washington for holiday sightseeing , you should begin on the Mall and branch out later to the National Zoo, the Renwick Gallery or the Museum of African Art.
Everyone knows the routine of museums: long walks, an almost bewildering variety of things to see and absorb. And the extraordinary flavor and excellence of the Smithsonian museums guarantees you'll persist to the end. Nonetheless, the Smithsonian - with the help of the Smithsonian Associates - offers fascinating alternatives to just stopping and staring. If you plan ahead - and call ahead, too - you may attend everything from concerts and lectures to gift-wrapping workshops. You may brunch to the sounds of viols and harps, take a short course in ''recreating a Victorian Christmas'' or be transported for an evening to England and ''Christmas at Canterbury.''
Still at the Smithsonian, your child can watch ''The Elves and the Shoemaker'' in the Arts and Industries Building. Held in the Discovery Theater, it's a special production by Puppet House Players. On the day after Christmas, the Museum of American History begins a six-day revival of holiday traditions from Colonial times to the present: Christmas, Hanukkah and New Years. Dickens' ''A Christmas Carol'' will be performed; there will also be musicians and dancers. Food crafts, films, and fun.
On December 20 alone, for example, you may sample everything from Children's Radio Theatre, the Potomac English Handbell Ringers or Appalachian Art Films to Japanese Ukiyo-e Prints and the 20th Century Consort.
And with the Smithsonian, you've just begun to see Washington. To even the most jaded Washingtonian, the Mall is a magnificent place, the glowing monuments and Capitol building at night stirring even cynical hearts.
If you're wise, you'll abandon your car at your hotel or guesthouse and use the subway - METRO - or taxis. It's a Washington sport to tow cars these days, and your spirit of celebration will remain intact if your car remains where you left it. Besides, only on foot can you appreciate the spectacle of the Mall's open space, the cool sumptuousness of the National Gallery's East Building, the Air and Space Museum, the pristine Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
Diversity is Washington's Christmas bonus, and exercise is a good foil for more intellectual pleasures. The National Sculpture Garden and Ice Rink is right on museum row, a neat disk of ice set between the Natural History museum and the National Gallery of Art. You can rent skates there and enjoy it day or night.
Washington's diversity rescues your senses on other levels as well, for the sheer magnitude of the Smithsonian may make you yearn for simplicity. Washington abounds with more personal splendors. A few blocks from Dupont Circle is the Woodrow Wilson House, what Mrs. Wilson called ''an unpretentious, comfortable, dignified house . . .'' now owned and maintained by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Getting through breast cancer together
Although breast cancer is primarily a woman's disease, she doesn't have to face it alone. Fighting the disease as a couple is an experience in itself, and can only make you and your husband closer and your bond stronger. Here, couples who know give tips on how to get through the difficult experience.
Be There for Her
Anne and Kirby Best battled breast cancer together and have since co-founded DryDreams Sleepwear, which manufactures sweat-wicking sleepwear for women and men. A full 100 percent of the proceeds benefita cancer research organizations.
As they look back, they say husbands must remember a few important things when their wives have breast cancer. "A husband should know that his wife is facing a paralyzing fear of the unknown. Initially, you just picture the cancer growing and winning, and that fear begins to subside only as each medical milestone becomes a reality," Anne says. Soothing words from Kirby during this time, for instance, let Anne know that, not only was he on her side, but he also wasn't going anywhere. "This made an enormous difference in how I was able to tackle the treatment and the aftermath. So husbands, let your wives know you're there for them in every way," Anne adds.
Bill Parness' late wife Laura inspired him to establish a program in partnership with St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York called Laura's Journeys, which encourages and facilitates recreational travel for patients dealing with cancer or other serious chronic diseases. 'Your wife needs you now more than ever," he advises. "Make yourself an active partner in her treatment plan and, if possible, go to all appointments. But also, be there for her psychologically. Make her feel that she's still the most gorgeous, desirable woman in the world. Buy her flowers regularly and, when you can, jewelry or some other trinket that will make her feel special.
"Of course, there will be some days when it's best to just get out of her way. Still, going the extra mile for your wife truly can make a difference and will be appreciated. The best rewards during those years was finding little notes in my dresser drawers from Laura saying how much she loved me," Bill recalls. "To this day, I unfold those notes and smile."
Divide and Conquer
Anne and Kirby say picking roles and focusing are important. "Right away, we recognized that it was important to determine what we are each comfortable with and more skilled at handling, and stay within those zones. We developed a divide-and-conquer approach. I was the medical researcher and primary interface with the doctors. Kirby took charge of all insurance matters and was the 'imparter of information.' He told people I had breast cancer and, during the yearlong treatment process, he sent email progress reports," Anne recalls.
"The last thing I wanted was to have Anne lose her focus on the battle at hand by being immersed in the red tape surrounding a diagnosis, so I acted as the point person in all insurance and financial decisions. And while on an emotional level I felt we were both diagnosed, I knew it was important that I remained clear-headed when it came to the paperwork and reaching out to our circle of friends about Anne's progress," Kirby adds.

Ogden Nash published his first poem in 1931, and for the better part of the next four decades he served in serious jest as poet laureate of the American middle class. After 1968 or so, he kept right on serving, but the middle class, as it has existed in 1931, no longer was there.
Nash sang of crabgrass, too many bills, appliances that don't work, the strain on the affections of playing bridge - the petty vexations of the petty bourgeoisie. He did not bother to restring his lyre when suburbia cautiously went swinging in the late '60s and staged a costume party of the hip.
Nash was equally innocent of what came to be known as Social Awareness. There were only two classes in his world: the middle class and the very rich. No lower class existed for Nash. The middle class was his lower class. His poverty level got defined by not having a yacht.
The first lines of his first poem, ''Spring Comes to Murray Hill,'' placed Nash once and for all: ''I sit in an office at 244 Madison Avenue,/And say to myself You have a responsible job, havenue?'' The 61 other poems in a Nash retrospective titled ''A Penny Saved Is Impossible'' (Little, Brown, $10.95) play fugal variations on that fretting theme. Nash escaped his Madison Avenue advertising job, but he never escaped what his generation came to call the ''rat race.''
With considerable feeling he wrote: I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nousiance.
In keeping with the middle-class myth, it was Nash's habit to pretend that ''Money Is Everything,'' as one title bluntly put it. Just give the poet lots of Riviera idleness and a Rockefeller income, verse after verse pleads, and you can do what you will with the third wish, dear reader.
Alas, underneath the bravado, Nash was the Good Soldier in the Gray Flannel Suit, uncomfortable on vacation, ready to respond with knee-jerk reflex to the summons of another awful Monday (''the day that everything starts all over again''). He resented the idle rich who ''insist on being stealthy/About the pleasures of being wealthy.'' But he knew, like all smart fantasists, that he was not really cut out for his dream. In a moment of candor he admitted: Torpor is harrowing, sloth it is irksome - Everyone ready? Let's go out and worksome.
Like Robert Benchley and James Thurber, Nash could become his own cartoon character - charmingly inept and bumbling. But, like Thurber especially, he was often on the verge of wrath, and even bitterness. ''A Man Can Complain, Can't He?'' reads the title of one of his less rollicking poems.
If he had been complaining only about bills and crabgrass and video (''most of it is hideo''), Nash would scarcely deserve to be called poet, for such concerns are irredeemably prosaic. But inside the jester, another Nash struggles to get out - pushing his way past those tortured rhymes.
Almost every line of Nash is funny - bouncing with wordplay, standing one cliche or another on its pointy head. Almost every poem of Nash, taken in its entirety, has a wince to its smile. There is the shadow of a passion that the comedian cannot quite accommodate.
For the sake of his readers or for the sake of himself - who knows? - Nash kept things light and provincial, squarely in the center of middle-class banter. But there was something he stretched for that lay outside the suburbs of his soul. By never mentioning it, he never let a reader forget it.

India shows diverse face at Toronto
Three different films showcase new production efforts
"The Joneses," starring Demi Moore and David Duchovny is a $10 million project co-financed by Mumbai-based Vistaar Religare Film Fund, slated to premiere at Toronto. "Joneses" is a co-production with Doug Mankoff's Echo Lake Prods. whose credits include Deepa Mehta's "Water" and South Africa's 2006 Oscar winner "Tsotsi" by Gavin Hood. Directed by Derrick Borte, "Joneses" sees Moore and Duchovny as the perfect upscale suburban couple who don't exactly come clean with the neighbors.
UTV Motion Pictures will unfurl romantic comedy "What's Your Raashee?" ("What's Your Star Sign?") directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and starring actress Priyanka Chopra.
"I'm looking forward to attending and getting the first international reactions and responses to 'What's Your Raashee?' a romantic comedy with 13 songs," said Gowariker.
"Rashee" will have its world premiere at Toronto on September 19 as a matinee at the Roy Thompson Hall attended by the film's stars including actor Harman Baweja, Gowariker and producers Ronnie Screwvala and Sunita A. Gowariker.
The Indian Film Company will premiere "Road, Movie" by director Dev Benegal which at this year's Cannes festival was sold to Fortissimo Films for international sales outside India marking Fortissimo's debut in Hindi cinema.
"Road, Movie" will be screened as a special presentation at the Winter Garden Theatre on September 18. The film revolves around Vishnu, a restless young man (played by Abhay Deol), who rejects his father's faltering hair oil business and hits the road with a traveling cinema.
Susan B. Landau ("An Ideal Husband") and Ross Katz ("Lost In Translation") produced the film's original screenplay which was written by Dev Benegal.
IFC CEO Sandeep Bhargava said, "We are delighted and honored that TIFF has chosen to premiere "Road, Movie." "The invitation is an endorsement of our vision to selectively back high quality international cinema and marks the global interest in Indian films."
IFC's upcoming projects include a co-production with "Bend It Like Beckham" director Gurinder Chadha for her in-production feature "It's A Wonderful Afterlife."

Radnor, Pa.--Cahners Business Information, Newton, Mass., announced it will cut 101 jobs at its Radnor offices and move the operations of several magazines to other Cahners locations in the U.S. The Radnor facility, which houses operations from the former Chilton Publications, which Cahners acquired in 1997, will be scaled back to about a third of its current size of more than 300. The changes follow Cahners' previous elimination of 300 jobs in August in the wake of a sharp decline in profits. The latest changes include the move of Owner Operator, Commercial Carrier Journal, Motor Age, Automotive Marketing, Auto Body Repair News and Food Engineering to Cahners' offices in Des Plaines, Ill. Product Design & Development, Industrial Maintenance & Plant Operations, Instrumentation & Automation News and ECN will move to the Morris Plains, N.J., office. Warehousing Management will move to the Newton, Mass., office. The company is offering 103 Radnor employees the opportunity to relocate with the magazines. About 115 employees will remain at the Radnor facility. JCK (Jewelers' Circular Keystone) magazine and its staff will remain in Radnor. Manufacturing Marketplace staff and sales and editorial employees from several magazines will also remain in Radnor. All moves are to take place by the end of the year.

Orwell's 1984 Solution to Criminalize War: "If There was Hope, it must Lie in the Proles" August 28, 2012Posted by rogerhollander in Art, Literature and Culture, Revolution, War.
Tags: 1984, howard zinn, james tracey, mass media, orwell, public opinion, roger hollander, war
Roger's note: It is no dramatic discovery that the vast majority of Americans (and people everywhere around the globe) hate and oppose not only warfare, but the legalized theft of human rights and human labor and the destruction of the biosphere that is perpetuated by every government of every capitalist state and largely bolstered by the mass media and the political culture. Change (the accomplished dissimulator Obama notwithstanding) will not come via electing leaders in contests where the option for peace and justice are never represented. From the Paris Commune to the Russian Revolution to the successful overturning of oligarchic capital rule in places like Cuba and Nicaragua, it was the common people who took things into their own hands. Although in each of the cases the humanistic revolutionary goals were corrupted by a combination of internal and external pressures, nevertheless, our guide for future humanistic revolution lies with these historic victories. Today's Arab Spring and the Occupation movement are the heirs of the previous popular uprisings.
"The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance-it is the illusion of knowledge."-Daniel Boorstin
Mystified by its own credentials, surrounded by peers who conceive of reality along similar lines, and underscored by the corporate media's overwhelming tide of disinformation, much of today's professional class is impervious to "rumors" and "conspiracy theories" that all too often captivate the sordid masses—from unreasonable suspicion over mysterious terrorist attacks to the poorly-informed questions surrounding their leader's hidden background. Much like the expert officials and agenda setting outlets they look to for prepared interpretations of the world, the opinion leading class' constituents understand themselves as above all well informed, similarly disinterested and unmoved by groundless passion.
In fact, the programming necessary to attain such a degree of self-assuredness often tends to distance one from reality. For example, revulsion towards war in the United States has historically tended to run strongest among those who have escaped the heavy indoctrination of the professional class—those members of the non-or semi-skilled, working class majority. As historian Howard Zinn observes,
Recent public opinion indicators point to the enduring nature of antiwar sentiment. For example, a recent poll by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press shows that on March 19, 2011, one week before President Obama announced the NATO bombing of Libya, 77% of the US public opposed the destruction of the country's air defenses. Polling one year later revealed a 62% majority against NATO "bombing Syrian military forces to protect anti-government groups in Syria," even though almost the same percentage (64%) admitted to having heard "little" or "nothing at all" on "recent political violence in Syria."
May we thus safely conclude that a majority of the population despite ceaseless propaganda still recognizes how war remains the supreme crime and the greatest demarcation between master and slave? "If there was hope, it must lie in the Proles," Orwell wrote, "because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated."

Greek Salad
January in the Southern Hemisphere is always the same deal: it's too hot, "this year I'll eat healthier, I swear," "did I mention it's hot in here?," etc. So, nothing better than starting the year with Summer Tertulias – a series of light recipes that go hand in hand with the hot weather! 😀
Today's recipe is a very very tasty LETTUCE-FREE salad (I don't really care for lettuce). The coolest thing is that you only get the cutting boards and the plates dirty, no need for a salad bowl! Deb's original recipe called for feta, but I've never found it here in Uruguay – I used hard ricotta and it worked great. You can also use goat cheese, it's excellent!
For two people, you'll need:
1 cucumber
1/2 green bell pepper
1 cup of cherry/grape tomatoes
1/4 cup of black olives – you can skip it, if you want. I won't understand it, but you can do it, it's your salad after all!
1/2 medium-size red onion – mine was big, so I used 1/4.
Thick slices of feta, ricotta, goat cheese, or grilled tofu for a vegan version
juice of 1 lemon – I got carried away and used 2, but the original recipe calls for just one 😀
olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano (fresh oregano would be the ideal thing here, but I only had dried leaves, so that's what I used)
Assembling this salad is super easy.
If you think that raw onions are too strong, you can slice it thinly and let it soak in the lemon juice while you chop the rest of the ingredients. I love raw onions (mom will tell you all about how I used to steal raw onions from the fridge when I was five), so all I did was slice it thin! 😀
Cut the cucumber into medium-size bits, the bell pepper in small cubes, and the cherry tomatoes in half. I placed the ingredients on the plates as I chopped them, to spare one dish! #lazypeoplehack
Place the olives and the cheese slices on the salad, and dress it with the lemon juice (even if you've soaked your onions in it), olive oil, salt, pepper, and the oregano leaves.
Eat and feel virtuous that you are sticking to your new year's resolution (for now…) 😀

Daily Getaways started two weeks ago with some great deals on purchased points in various hotel loyalty programs, but last week and this week haven't interested me much. They've been mostly package deals in Las Vegas or certain number of nights at smaller chains. I'm a fan of points. I can do all kinds of things with points that aren't necessarily what's advertised by Daily Getaways, increasing their value (at least from my perspective).
Case in point is Hyatt Gold Passport. We'll see Hyatt return to Daily Getaways on Friday with several different packages for sale starting at 10 AM Pacific Time. Even though they are advertised as a certain number of nights in a certain class of hotel, in reality you are buying points at a discount. Visit the Daily Getaways site and click on the details of each package to see exactly what you'll receive.
- 24,000 points for $260 (1.08 cents each)
"Two nights in a premium hotel"
- 30,000 points for $330 (1.10 cents each)
"Two nights in an elite hotel"
- 40,000 points for $415 (1.04 cents each)
"Two nights in a top hotel"
- 72,000 points for $775 (1.08 cents each)
"Three nights in a suite"
Those points are enough to get what's advertised. I would probably stretch them further to get something better. For example, the 24,000 points in the smallest package could be used for two award nights at a relatively inexpensive property. Instead, I would add 1,000 existing points (or transfer 1,000 from Chase Ultimate Rewards) from my Gold Passport account for a total of 25,000. Then I'd book two Points + Cash award nights at a Category 6 property — some of the very best that can often be $600+ per night. I'd need only 12,500 points and $150 per night.
Instead of paying $1,200+ for two nights at the usual published rate, I've bought some points and paid some cash for a special award rate. My total cost is about $560. But this is just me. You may have a better plan.
Calculating the price per point, it would appear the best deal is 40,000 points — just 1.04 cents each vs. my estimated value of 1.4 cents. You might want to try for the larger package of 72,000 points instead. They are still so cheap that you may want to buy as many as possible.
However, keep in mind that there are very few offers available and competition will be fierce. There are only 15 of the largest package, and the smallest package has only 95 for sale. It may be better to compete for a slightly more expensive — but more plentiful — package than to increase the risk of walking away with nothing at all.

Three days after the disputed parliamentary elections, supporters of Azerbaijan's opposition take to the streets. Reports of fraud have triggered the protests over the vote which handed President Ilham Aliyev a huge majority.
Opposition supporters take their protest to the streets in Azerbaijan
Now Reading:
Opposition supporters take their protest to the streets in Azerbaijan
A day of protests are planned in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku aimed at trying to get the vote annulled. But although President Aliyev has been stung by the critisism both at home and abroad, he continues to claim that although there were some problems the vote was fair. However, the Central Election Commission has ordered re-runs in two disputed constituencies and have said they are looking at reports of serious fraud in others. Despite the day of action planned by the opposition, analysts are not expecting a ukraine-style orange revolution.The opposition has been described as beng far from well organised…. hense the delay in mounting a street protest. And the West is keen to see stability in the ex-Soviet country which is strategically important with its extensve Caspian Sea oil reserves.

- Wedding: June 2014
Hi Bees ,
I`m already married, but I went to a wedding the weekend, in which the seating choices baffled me a little. A few of the wives/gfs of the men standing in the wedding (who are fairly good friends of the couple) were literally seated in an entirely different room in the back and the rest were in the front room with them. Also, those who were definitely not as close to them (pretty general knowledge there) were sitting right at front. I agree that the room it'self was divided in a weird way so that it would be impossible to have everyone in the same room, but for people who are closer to them to be seated in the very back corner where you couldn't hear a thing ? or See a thing? I just wanted to get some takes on it, cause I wouldn't have done that at my wedding. I would have felt that if I put friends back there , especially when their SO's were standing for me, it would come off as thoughtless (or an afterthought) or rude (As if I really didn't care that they were there)
So I'm putting it out there for opinions. What would have you done if you had an awkward room to work with and where would you have seated SO's of the people who are standing for you ( even if you know/didn't them well?). Just want to see what the general take is!

Over the last two weeks, I had to deal w/ people like Chipper, Guillen & Beltran (this current week) all being hurt, but not being hurt bad enough to go on the DL. Instead they just miss around 4 game each. In a HTH league, that can kill you.
I have those 3 and Thome (who knows if he is capable of playing the field). Chipper plays a few games then misses a few. Beltran is missing the Braves series (and has been playing like he has been hurt for a while). Guillen missed time last week and has also been playing like he has been hurt for a while.
Just put some of these guys on the DL so that they can get healthy and allow me to go to the waiver wire.
