November 30, 2010 "Proud to Pay" buttons should arrive in a few days. They are FREE and I pay postage.
In WW2 I flew a B-17 Flying Fortress, and on every mission, knew the whole USA was in the cockpit with me. That spirit still lives despite screamers who complain about taxes, but gladly grab every chance to make a buck and all the other benefits our USA showers on them.
I believe most people are willing to pay their just taxes. They don't carry on about it but might like to wear a small button that says, "Proud to Pay for The USA." One inch in diameter, a dignified statement. I'd love to send you one. Free, and I'll pay postage.
To get yours, email me your mailing address. Type "Proud To Pay" In the subject line
To the right is the design.

PROUD! To Pay for the USA. A Community for those who love the USA
We can't all be in uniform or volunteer to re-build stricken cities, or stop global warming. or clean up oil-soaked beaches. But there is one thing we ALL do, and can be PROUD to do: Pay for the USA!
I flew a bomber in WW2 and felt every civilian back home was in the cockpit with me. They worked their tails off to keep us flying and paid taxes willingly and proudly.
The USA still has enough of that spirit to be greatest country in the world. If it's in you, send me an email and I'll put your name on the list of "PROUD TO PAY for the USA" and send you a button as soon I get them in my hands. - Stuart Hodes
October 29, 2010 When you understand that most politicians are merely scripted actors, you begin to look behind the words and discover what is jerking their strings.
A recent mailer from candidate Ryan Brumberg, proudly claimed endorsment by Peter Thiel, the co-founder and CEO of PayPal. Well, well, so a billionaire likes him. What's that got to do with a thousandaire like me?
Brumberg wants to:
"Slash the deficit by addressing entitlements." He really means "address the deficit by slashing entitlements?" Which? Social security? Unemployment insurance? Medicare? Doesn't say.
Simplify "burdensome regulations." Unregulated banks bought down the U.S. economy. Do we want more of that?
Wants "revenue neutral" tax reform, meaning the same rate for poor and rich.
In World War Two, the day of "the greatest generation," it was patriotic to pay taxes, as much as you could afford. That was when the U.S.A united to save the world from Hitler and Tojo, monsters on opposite side of the globe: Today we can't handle Afganistan
October 20, 2010. Somewhere, the great showman, P.T. Barnum is having a good laugh. The guy who got rich because, "There's a sucker born every minute," will be watching Americans on Election Day to see if they actually bring back the carny barkers who have been cheating them blind with the help of White Houses run by 1) a befuddled actor, 2) a scheming felon, 3) a feckless frat boy.
By sucking blood from the Middle Class, the rich became superrich, and the U.S.A. edges toward having only two classes, very rich, and very poor. Will the P.T Barnum suckers give them another crack, shoving us closer to becoming the newest Third World nation?
Foaming at the mouth against Medicare, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, etc, trying to slip the same ghouls back in office, they are hoping that the youth vote, black vote, Hispanic vote, etc., has lost interest and will spend Election day Tweeting. Will they? We'll know soon enough.
October 23, 2008. Theater has it heights -- Sophocles, Shakespeare, Beckett, – and its lows – dog fighting, bear baiting, lions eating Christians. The lowest I've personally witnessed was after WWII when touring a Moroccan Medina with a cluster of GIs who'd paid a buck each to watch a naked prostitute undulate with a cigarette in her vagina, at the end to yank it out and thrust it toward the mouth of a gaping GI. He jerked back like he'd had a jolt of electricity, to the roars of the rest.
Sept 22, '08 - The Clique: Opera has had cliques for a couple hundred years, usually a diva's fans who could be depended upon to scream their heads off after every aria. Divas loved their cliques, getting theater managers to give them free admission, especially if a rival sang in the same production. This venerable tradition was grabbed by the masterminds of Bush's campaigns, now, John McCain's.
Sept 19, '08 - What Surge? There is always a mise en scène. An actor delivering lines on a sunlit beach is different from the same actor, same lines, in a dark trash-filled alley. When running for office, a political actor brings a mise en scène to the stump: John McCain, his POW cell, Barack Obama, America's heartland, Sarah Palin, moose-hunting Alaska, Joe Biden, blue collar Pennsylvania and a Delaware hearth-and-home.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lynn Fontanne!" Thunder broke loose in the house, thousands of clapping hands. After a long moment, Lynn rose– without any help from me, or even from the arms of her chair– and stood, tall as tall, and bowed, graciously. The applause grew deeper. She turned then, slowly, and, facing the rear, bowed to the balcony. There was pandemonium, stamping feet, cries of 'Bravo'. The house went wild– for a full five minutes, Lynn bravely and happily bowing.

A personal note to Chorus Gypsy readers: It is almost two months since my last post. For one, I got caught up in a demanding writing project. For two, I began to feel that Chorus Gypsy was becoming a solo when I really want a chorus! Janet Eilber's story snapped me back to how much Chorus Gypsy means to me, and just maybe to the surprising number of you who kept clicking on it the entire time! Thank you! And please send stories!
October 4, '07. Talked into a video camera with Christine Jowers, founder of a new web site: http://www.dance-enthusiast.com. It's online now but Christine says it is still a-borning. Her vision is to show the dance world as seen by dancers, choreographers, and dance lovers. There are reviews, but nothing like the smug blather of self-centered wannabes who mainly review themselves. New to me are live video clips, moments from the recent Martha Graham season, rehearsals, and interviews with choreographers. This is a feature I'd love to put into Chorus Gypsy. One of these days you'll likely see some of the interview I did today. (I'm in no hurry!) Click: Dance Enthusiast.

September 23, 2007. Another journal entry from The Birth of the Poet.
September 21, '07. I'll continue to post From the Horse's Mouth stories about Martha Graham, hoping to have all twenty-eight one day. But today is from The Birth of the Poet and I want to acknowledge guidance from Professor Miriam Burstein of SUNY Brockport, who includes poet/librettist Kathy Acker's Don Quixote in one of her courses, which prompted me to order it from American Book Exchange, now awaited with baited breath.

Sept 17, '07. The Martha Graham page is now on line and the first story is by Barbara Bennion. Click Martha.
September 15, '07 2 PM. The Martha Graham edition of From the Horse's Mouth played Manhattan's Joyce Theater. It began with an introduction of Graham alums, from Mary Anthony, who is 91, to 12-year-old Chiara Dello Joio who represented her grandfather, composer Norman Dello Joio, who wrote some of Graham's great scores. Horse's Mouth, invented by Tina Croll and Jamie Cunningham, gathers dancers under a common theme, in this case the Martha Graham troupe. Each enters, sits, tells a story, then joins in a semi-improvised dance. The stories ranged from Barbara Bennion, immobilized by flu on tour, visited bedside by Martha who held her hand and recited The 23rd Psalm, whereupon Barbara rose and performed that night, to David Zorack, who described his ten most unforgettable stage moments, including a run on for his bow, to slip in a puddle of his own sweat and fall flat on his back. My own contribution, Martha's Rap, is posted on Stars. But Martha deserves her own page and shall have it by mid-week where will be posted as many other stories as I can get!
September 10, '07. The lull in new posts continues until I complete From the Horse's Mouth on September 15th at the Joyce Theater, NYC, part of the Martha Graham season. Created by Tina Croll and Jamie Cunnigham, Horse's Mouth has been seen coast-to-coast and border-to-border. The theme this time is Martha Graham.

August 10, '07. "She was a blue-eyed natural blond, magazine cover face. glistening honey hued skin, a long-legged 5 foot 8. She'd been a ballet major at NYC's Performing Arts high school where I had taught modern dance. She'd never taken my classes but I recalled seeing her there, and that her teachers treated her with the deference reserved for those anointed with intense beauty." Click Heartthrobs, read Angeline.
August 8, '07. "Lucas spoke about playing the role of Paris in The Golden Apple in 1954, unconventional casting since the cowardly Paris is traditionally tall and handsome while Lucas was short and dark with a bulbous head.

All seem blissfully happy except for one beautiful young woman who longs to see the outside world and joins the Westerners when they leave to return home. But soon after they've climbed out of the valley she falls from her horse and before their horrified eyes dies and shrivels into a thousand-year-old mummy.
July 30, '07. "Whether a person was straight or gay meant nothing to me one way or the other, and for a female virgin (not rare in the 1950s), I understood that a date with a gay man was "safe."

July 25, '07 "Nothing in Manhattan touched Serendipity for elegance of decor or sumptuousness of menu.

July 24, '07. After Juki Arkin left Milk and Honey and returned to Israel, a rumor, strictly a rumor mind you, returned that he'd gotten into trouble for impregnating a 14-year-old. He'd been such a loose cannon in Milk and Honey it was hard not to believe. Yet most everyone sensed another Juki, one with sweetness and vulnerability. Whatever his escapades and extravagances, that other Juki was impossible not to love.

July 21, '07 On Thursday, July 19, the number of "hits" on Chorus Gypsy jumped tenfold! I am guessing it was a story by conductor, Larry Blank, who mentioned the names of half a dozen celebrities.

July 19, '07 "The huge orchestra was on the stage, I was conducting and among the entertainers was Ann Miller, singing Everything's Coming Up Roses. I'd arranged it in her key so she had no vocal problems and sounded great. But she seemed preoccupied with her feather boa and insisted on doing it nine times. Other stars, including David Cassidy, Michael Bolton, Robert Goulet, and Elaine Paige had to wait." Click STARS to read Larry Blanks new Ann Miller anecdote.
July 18, '07. A dancer who came to the Molly Picon Panel has a large dance photo collection and may be willing to share it with Chorus Gypsy. It would need a section all its own.

July 17, '07 "In addition to bad timing – French, German, and English lovers in the middle of World War I – Zelle was arguably not a spy at all until the French demanded she report back on what her German lovers talked about. Forced to spy by the very ones who executed her, she was a victim of conscienceless evil embodied by LaFarge, who beds Mata Hari before having her shot."

July 15, '07 "When I joined the NYU faculty in 1972, one professor, a well-known avant garde director, came to meetings wearing bib overalls, squatted cross-legged on a chair munching a sandwich, body language reeking disdain for everyone else. I'd seen a book about one of his productions, Dionysus in '69, lots of photos of naked actors smeared with what looked like chocolate syrup. Would Richard Foreman be like that?"

Like most, I'd read about and seen photos of Josephine Baker, who set Paris aflame in the late 1920s. But recently for the first time, I saw one of her movies, Princess Tam Tam (1935), in French with English sub-titles. Although the camera irritatingly keeps cutting from her to gaping onlookers, it allows one to begin to comprehend her amazing power. I have an extra copy of Princess Tam Tam on DVD and will send it to the first person who clicks Stuart, and sends me a mailing address.
July 4, 2007. A happy result of the Molly Picon panel meeting June 28 was re-connecting with Anthony De Vecchi who performed in (at least) eight musicals after we worked together in Milk and Honey, including Mata Hari, an oot flop (closed Out-Of-Town). While dancing in Tovarich, he met Nora Kaye who convinced him to join American Ballet Theater, which he did after several more musicals including Man of La Mancha. Today Tony lives in Hinsdale, Mass, where he runs his ballet school started more than 3 decades ago. More about Tony and Mata Hari soon.
July 2, '07 When I heard that Merce Cunningham once auditioned for Agnes DeMille, I asked David Vaughan if it was true. Well, it is and she hired him! If you ever speculate about alternate universes, imagine that he had kept on doing musicals. Might there have been a Broadway show titled, "How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run?" David Vaughan doesn't speculate but has interesting details about that episode in the life of a man who changed, and is still changing the art of dance. Click OFFSTAGE, read Cunningham and DeMille.

Donald Saddler told how he became its choreographer. After reading the script about American tourists in Israel, he said to producer, Gerard Oestreicher, "There are choreographers in New York who are much more qualified."
June 28, 2007. She was nine years old. Her voice was a child's but the pitch was true. She took directions like others kids take ice cream cones.

Lesson over, she asked if she could pet the studio cat.

June 12, 07. In days of yore wandering minstrels and family troupes were the very first show gypsies.

May 29, 2007. Feeling stage fright always annoyed me because it's so irrational. No matter how bad you are, the audience can't actually harm you and you always wake up alive the next morning. (Flying combat missions, it's irrational not to be scared.) Yet theater is full of life-and-death metaphors: "The act died on stage." "Go out there and kill 'em!"
May 28, 07. The reality of auditions is rejection. If you can't take it, find another line of work. I used to say to myself: "I won't work for any choreographer dumb enough to reject me."

The first thing that struck me when I received my copy was the beautiful cover. Pictures speak more than a thousand words when it comes to food. The tacos on the front cover made me want to tear into the book. The only other pictures were on the back cover. I do wish there were more pictures because I totally love to drool over my cook books.
Robin Robertson is no stranger the cook book scene. She has written many wonderful vegetarian and vegan cook books. Her experience shows in her writing and organizational style. I've been cooking for decades. But I have to admit, my use of the slow cooker was pretty limited. Using the slow cooker was usually reserved for cooking beans. Robin teaches us that this was the first modern day slow cooker was developed specifically for cooking beans.
The first part of the book is full of tidbits and information on just about everything you need to know about using and enjoying your slow cooker. She offers advice on learning the timing for your specific cooker (which can vary greatly from brand to brand), when to add spices and other ingredients for the best results, the best way to thicken liquids and even a nice reference for vegan proteins used in slow cooking. If you don't want to spend a lot of time reading, she has included highlight boxes for quick reference. Even this old cooking dog learned some new tricks reading the first few sections of her book. Robin has a knack for taking simple pantry friendly ingredients and creating pleasing and hearty dishes.
Now I mentioned earlier that my repertoire for the slow cooker was pretty limited. After reviewing Fresh From the Vegan Slow Cooker, I have a completely different outlook on the uses of the slow cooker. I can now "bake" cakes when it is 110 degrees outside without heating up my kitchen (no minor deal in Arizona). If you have had bad luck making your own seitan, I highly recommend trying it in the slow cooker. It is virtually fool-proof. Robin provides a basic and easy recipe on page 136 of the book. If you are busy or just like the idea of walking in after a long day and having dinner ready to go, this book is for you.
I tried four recipes, including the seitan I mentioned above. I have my eye on many more. I really want to take a crack at making my own home made catsup or maybe the Slow-Cooker Pho. Oh so many possibilities! Below are a few of the recipes I tried out this week.
Holy Mole Red Bean Chili (pg. 82)
Chili is the quintessential crock pot dish in my opinion. They just go together like peas and carrots to me. This is probably why I made it first. I made it with the TVP option. It had a nice spice, but seemed to be missing something. I think I would use veggie broth instead of water with this option to add more depth to the flavor. The seitan (that Robin recommended using) probably would have added an added dimension of flavor this could have used. But on a whole it was homey and good. I loved the hint of heat and smokiness the chipotle provided. It was very filling as well. Not midday snacks were needed after a lunch of Holy Mole!
Grandmom Gennaro's Minestre (pg. 54)
Apple Walnut Cake (pg 244)
So now dear readers it is time to talk about how to score your very own copy! It's simple really. First, if you are not already a follower of the Veg-in-Training blog, please become one, because to win the book you must be a follower of the blog. Easy peasy right? Then make a comment on this post by midnight MST today, September 8th, 2012. Make the post slow cooker related if you can (optional). That's all you have to do to enter. The winner will be selected at random and announced here tomorrow. Please make sure to check back tomorrow to see if you have won! Good luck!
***Sorry to all of the international readers, this one is for US residents only.***
Congratulations to #27 Ilene Klang!!

Unless you happen to be a certified public accountant, or related to one, the topic of taxes you pay on your investments probably has as much appeal as a root canal. Understood. Nonetheless, it's a topic well worth focusing on.
That's especially true if you invest in mutual funds, which are required to distribute realized gains and income to shareholders. Over the 10 years through 2012, the actual return to investors in the average stock mutual fund shrank by eight-tenths of a percentage point, annualized, because of taxable distributions, according to research from Lipper, the fund data supplier.
That represents more than 10 percent of the annualized gain for stock funds over that 10-year stretch. Taxable bond funds received a tax haircut of 1.8 percentage points, annualized, during that period, amounting to more than 20 percent of the annualized return for those funds.
"Annual expense ratios get a lot more attention, but not understanding the potential tax drag of what you own and what type of account you own it in can be a bigger issue," says Tom Roseen, head of research services at Lipper.
Even if you're not partaking of mutual funds — or at least those with a habit of generating big tax bills — and you've been pleased with your portfolio's tax efficiency in years past, Robert S. Keebler, a certified public accountant in Green Bay, Wis., expects many investors to suffer "painful sticker shock" when they complete their 2013 tax returns.
Last year, a net investment income tax of 3.8 percent came into play for couples with modified adjusted gross income above $250,000, and for individuals with more than $200,000. (The figure is typically close to your adjusted gross income reported on Line 37 of your federal Form 1040.)
Last year, the top income tax rate rose to 39.6 percent from 35 percent, and gains on investments sold in less than a year are taxed as ordinary income. The top long-term capital gains rate also rose, to 20 percent from 15 percent.
"There's not one big thing you can do to minimize taxes, but there are a series of small decisions you can make at the margins that in the aggregate will leave you with more money," said Timothy M. Steffen, director of financial planning for the wealth management group at Baird.
To shield as many investment dollars as possible from taxes, you can maximize what you tuck into tax-deferred retirement accounts. This low-hanging fruit still seems to elude many people. Vanguard reports that 30 percent of participants in 401(k) plans it administers who had income of at least $200,000 in 2012 did not contribute the maximum. For those with an income of at least $100,000, the figure was 64 percent. In 2014, anyone under 50 years old can contribute up to $17,500; if you're of AARP age — 50 and older — you can contribute up to $23,000.
And don't forget individual retirement accounts. Anyone can invest in a nondeductible I.R.A., regardless of income, and receive the benefit of tax-deferred growth. And couples filing a joint tax return with modified adjusted gross income below $181,000, or single filers with income below $114,000, can stuff up to the maximum of $5,500 a person into a Roth I.R.A. ($6,500 if you're at least 50).
With a Roth I.R.A., contributions are made with after-tax dollars, so there's no upfront tax break. But your money grows tax-deferred and withdrawals in retirement will be tax-free.
If you have investments in tax-deferred accounts as well as regular taxable accounts, it's worth considering the art of asset location. The standard advice has always been that investments that throw off income taxed at your income tax rate belong in a tax-deferred account. The theory is that for most of us, our income tax rate is higher than our capital gains rate.
That has typically been an argument for keeping your bond holdings in your 401(k) and I.R.A., since bond interest is taxed as income. But Michael E. Kitces, director of planning research at the Pinnacle Advisory Group in Columbia, Md., says that today's low interest rates on high-grade bonds make that rule of thumb less important. Even if you are paying federal income tax of 39.6 percent on the interest from a core bond fund, the fact that the fund's yield is just 2 percent or so means that there's not much income in the first place.
Mr. Kitces suggests a twist. "Focus on making sure your highest-returning and least-tax-efficient investment is inside your 401(k) or I.R.A., and your most tax-efficient investment is in your taxable account," he said. "And don't worry about everything else. Just get those two right and you've done yourself a ton of good."
Likely suspects for a tax-deferred account include high-yield, or junk, bonds and real estate investment trusts, and any actively traded portfolio that generates frequent short-term gains. Low-turnover stock index mutual funds or exchange-traded funds and municipal bonds are often the best bets for taxable accounts, as they are prone to generate low, or no, taxable distributions.
While it may be heresy to index purists, actively managed funds can still be a solid investment, even with their typically higher tax bill. Yes, the performance of the average equity stock fund has failed to keep up with its indexing brethren. But there are exceptions.
"What matters is your after-tax return, not whether a fund is 99 percent tax-efficient," said Daniel P. Wiener, chairman of Adviser Investments. "If an actively managed fund delivers superior returns after tax, that's what I care about." That said, if you own an actively managed fund, it may be a candidate for your 401(k) or I.R.A.
If you were subject to the new 3.8 percent net investment tax in 2013, you may be able to reduce this year's bite. Here's how the tax works: If you have investment income and your modified adjusted gross income is above $250,000 ($200,000 for individuals) you are in its cross hairs. The 3.8 percent tax is levied on the lesser of these two figures: the amount of your income that exceeds those thresholds of modified adjusted gross income, or the sum of all the net investment income you had in the year.
If your income is well above the appropriate modified adjusted-gross-income threshold, it's likely that your net investment income is what will come into play. In that case, Mr. Keebler says that one tax reduction strategy is to consider municipal bonds, because their interest is not part of the calculation for net investment income.
Just make sure you steer clear of private-activity municipal bonds, because interest from such bonds is subject to the alternative minimum tax. Alas, even tax-exempt investing has its traps.

Crossroads A French diplomat who's... MORE > $15.96 Regularly $19.99 Buy Now
powered by AFI
In 1935, French diplomat David Talbot's happiness over his recent marriage to the beautiful Lucienne and his impending appointment as ambassador to Brazil, is dampened when he receives a strange, unsigned letter. Addressed to "Jean," the letter asks for one million francs to satisfy an old debt. David later leaves a package at the suggested drop-off point, but when the man who sent the letter, Carlos Le Duc, retrieves it, he is immediately arrested. At his trial for extortion, Le Duc testifies that the letter was merely an honest request for repayment and claims that he knew David from 1919 to 1922, when David was known as Jean Pelletier, a notorious criminal. The case becomes a news sensation, and the next day it is revealed by David's friend, Dr. Andre Tessier, that David had been in a train wreck in 1922 and suffers from amnesia. Tessier's theory of amnesia is challenged by Dr. Alex Dubroc, then a mystery witness, singer Michele Allaine, corroborates Le Duc's story and identifies David as Pelletier. Just then, wine salesman Henri Sarrou presents himself to the court and says that he knew Pelletier, who died years before. Some time after De Luc's conviction, Sarrou comes to see David and demands one million francs. Sarrou says that he and Pelletier had been cohorts in a two million franc robbery, in which Pelletier killed a man, then disapppeared with the money. David orders him out, but before leaving, Sarrou says that Pelletier suffered a powder burn on his hand when he committed the murder. David sees a scar on his left hand and begins to suspect that he is Pelletier. The next day, Michele comes to see David at his office and, talking to him as if he were Pelletier, begs for forgiveness and warns him about Sarrou. As she leaves, she shows David a locket with a picture of the two of them together. Later, Michele comes to see David and Lucienne at their home and tries to show Lucienne the locket, but David intervenes and tells his worried wife that Michele had merely come to apologize for her "mistake" at the trial. Soon David receives a 1922 newspaper headline reporting the robbery of which Sarrou spoke. David then goes to see Michele and confronts her, saying that he does not believe Sarrou's story, but she angrily suggests that he go to a certain address and see Pelletier's impoverished mother. David goes to the old woman, who says he is not her son, but her affectionate demeanour deeply moves David, who now ponders the fact that he could have been a thief and murderer in his former life. The next day, Lucienne visits Tessier and voices her concern for David, but says that if David were Pelletier, she would still love him. Suspecting that Sarrou is a blackmailer, she considers using her own jewels and money to buy him off. The next day, Sarrou shows up at David's club, and reveals that Tessier came to see him. Sarrou then demands his money and says that David must bring it that night or the police will be contacted. David goes to Tessier, who reassures him that who he is now is only thing that matters. After wandering the streets, David goes into a travel agency and buys a single ticket to Saigon. That evening, David sends Lucienne alone to a party at the home of his superior, Deval, saying that he has to help a colleague. After she leaves, David gets a call from Sarrou, who knows about the Saigon ticket, and threatens him. Meanwhile, at Michele's place, it is revealed that "Mme. Pelletier" is really De Luc's wife and a former actress. She leaves before the arrival of David, who protests to Sarrou that he does not have one million francs. Then, after David says that it is difficult for him to handle large sums of money at the office, but not be able to use it, Sarrou suggests that they get the money from the office safe and make it look like a robbery. Meanwhile, at Deval's, Lucienne sees the colleague with whom David was supposed to be working and realizes that he has lied. She leaves, and noticing David and Sarrou on the street, follows them to the office. After David tampers with the buildings lights, Sarrou is able to sneak past the guard and takes the money when David opens the safe. Lucienne then arrives and begs David not to go through with the plan, but Sarrou threatens them and suggests that she help him tie David up to make the robbery appear more realistic. Just then, the police arrive and arrest them. At police headquarters, David admits that he is Pelletier and, when Michele is brought in, he begs her and Sarrou to join him in confessing their past crimes. Now faced with being charged as an accomplice to murder, Michele confesses that the real Pelletier died in the train wreck and that she and Sarrou had waited for years to blackmail David, knowing of his amnesia. David then reveals to Lucienne that he finally deduced that the story was a lie when he studied the picture in the locket and realized that it showed his hair as he combed it after the train wreck, parted to cover up a scar. When Deval, who, like the police, was in on David's ruse, reveals that David has just gotten his ambassadorship, David and Lucienne happily embrace.

Kevlar® Plant near Charleston, South Carolina, Opens to Meet Growing Demand
The DuPont™ Kevlar® facility near Charleston, South Carolina, represents a $500 million investment in significantly expanding production of high-performance DuPont™ Kevlar® para-aramid brand fiber for industrial and military uses.
DuPont expansion needed for growing Kevlar® demand
The Cooper River facility, located north of Charleston, South Carolina, was the centerpiece of a multi-phase, multi-year Kevlar® production expansion that initially increased global Kevlar® production capacity by more than 25 percent. DuPont invested an additional $50 million at its Spruance plant in Richmond, Virginia, to increase Kevlar® polymer production. The combined expansion represented the largest single investment in Kevlar® and the largest capacity increase since the fiber was introduced in 1965.
The new plant near Charleston, South Carolina, together with our other global assets, helps DuPont meet strong and growing global demand for Kevlar®. It also allows us to put our innovative science to work to develop new, differentiated Kevlar® products, using the latest new fiber technologies that protect people, the environment, and processes.
Best known for its proven performance in ballistic and stab-resistant body armor, Kevlar® has helped save the lives of thousands of law enforcement officers and military personnel around the world.
Key Kevlar® growth applications:
- Improved ballistic performance, providing lighter-weight protective apparel for law enforcement and military personnel

from BA's Prospect Hot-sheet:
Team: Double-A Birmingham (Southern)
Age: 22
Why He's Here: 2-0, 0.00, 14 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 17 K
The Scoop: Hudson started the season in low Class A, but at this rate he could make a case for getting to Triple-A before the season is over. The 2008 fifth-rounder out of Old Dominion is working on a 20-inning scoreless streak and has allowed no earned runs in five of his eight Double-A starts. Hudson's delivery isn't the cleanest—he tends to throw across his body, but there is no arguing with the results.
Josh Phegley is mentioned in the 'Not So Hot Sheet' section.

Branko Kazanegra is one of the leading figures in Montenegro's tourism industry. He is the owner and manager of the Adriatic Express travel agency, which has won Montenegro's Wild Beauty Award as the country's best travel agency for three years running. His company is also a major partner in the Queen of Montenegro Hotel at Becici beach, close to Budva, voted Montenegro's best hotel in 2006.
Kazanegra is a passionate fisherman, a tradition he inherited. His grandfather told him that blood has the same salty taste as sea water, "so I sometimes get the feeling that sea water flows in my veins!"
Branko Kazanegra has forty years worth of experience in the tourist sector; he says he "caught the bug" while working in tourism to earn some money after finishing law school in 1968. The formula is simple, he says: "Receive a guest at the hotel, in a restaurant or at the beach just like you'd receive a friend at home – and it will all be fine!"
Kazanegra won a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship to attend university in the US in the early 1970s, where he was awarded a masters degree in hotel management. Nowadays he travels around the world to promote tourism in Montenegro. He is a former Chairman of the Montenegrin Tourism Association. He is also well-known at home as a passionate advocate for raising standards in the facilities offered to tourists visiting the country.
He voted for independence in 2006; for him, national independence is an extension of the self rule that the area south of Budva has enjoyed for ages.
Self rule became a fact in 1423, when the Pastrovici tribe signed a treaty with the Venetians, who had taken control of the coast three years before. The Pastrovici were guaranteed autonomy and free trade within the borders of Venetian state, without having to pay customs or any other taxes. In return, the Pastrovici agreed to provide recruits for the Venetian army. Branko has documents dating back to the seventeenth century.
"And concretely, with regard to this place, I have evidence – in the archives of our church, our 'Pastrovics' monastery – that my house is 400 years old. It is without doubt more than 400 years old, but there is 400-year old written documentation of inheritance, in which a member of the family bequeaths it to his heir. The place in which we find ourselves is a small fishing village. A few hundred meters away is Sveti Stevan, which formed the centre of our Pastrovska Republic. We had an autonomous administration since the 14th century. This place has a long history. The Pastrovska Republic existed from the 14th century and we administered our affairs autonomously throughout this time.
At first we were under the patronage of Venice; later, when Venice disappeared from the historical stage, we came under the patronage of Austria-Hungary. This lasted until 1919 when we became part of what was then Yugoslavia.
And throughout this time, for centuries, we had an autonomous administration and the right to administer justice ourselves. We elected our own government, our own leader, and once a year we met for the annual assembly of all citizens. All those above the age of 18 were citizens. This assembly elected the members of all of the republic's institutions."

When you start your program running Windows XP, you may encounter one of the following messages:
"Unable to execute program"
"Error Code: 0xC0150002 : The application failed to initialize properly. Click on OK to terminate the application."
Or even other messages, none of which are particularly informing about the cause of the problem.
If you are lucky, you'll come up with the idea to look into the Systems Event log (not the applications event look as somebody might guess). And yes, there may be a bit more information:
"Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system."
"Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested."
That's better, but it still doesn't tell you what version it was searching, and why it didn't use a different version, existing on the system. On a machine that I just reproduced this message, four similar versions of this very DLL exist in the side-by-side repository:
The version requested was:
I know that because I wrote the program and I inspected the manifest file used to link the program. I would, otherwise I'd have no idea what version is needed.
Things are better with Windows 7: System messages are more informative and starting with Windows Vista a new tool has been introduced: sxstrace which is designed to retrieve information about the root causes. To use sxstrace:
- Start sxstrace in logging mode
- Reproduce the problem
- Stop sxstrace logging
- Parse the created log file and convert it to human readable information
Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. In any event it is a tool that the typical user will be unable to handle. A support tool may collect entries from the systems event log and transmit them to the support center -- but it isn't able to use sxstrace. That's a task for a administrator. If you managed to run sxstrace successfully, the output is some diagnostic text that explains in more detail what the problem is. But it still won't tell you, where to find the exactly required DLL. Microsoft used tohave a page that helped to locate specific DLL versions, but alas, this service has been terminated.
So far the program concerned still can not be started by Windows. The only solution is to "somehow" find the needed DLLs and install them. If this "somehow" does not work, the program can not be used at all.
The more assemblies a program uses, the more conflicts may occur and in many cases more size is required for the installer as well as on disk. A DLL would save disk space, if it is used by a large number of applications. But in practice Microsoft now ships so many different assembly versions, that they increase disk space used instead of saving disk spaceit.
Table 1 shows the most typical ways, a application is assembled and their consequences.
To avoid DLL-Hell in 2010, the best way is:
Don't use public DLLs or assemblies at all.
Don't use the Side-by-side manager.
Include all DLLs privately in the applications bin-directory and use private assemblies as far as possible if assemblies can not be avoided.
The best way to defeat all DLL conflicts is don't use any DLLs at all, but use static libraries instead. Its also possible to bypass the whole side-by-side and all assemblies, if desired. By default, Visual Studio per creates a manifest file for your project, but its easy to remove this in the Project settings and to work the old way, just using the DLLs in your applications folder.
And, of course, none of these options may not be practical for all applications -- for large applications DLLs are a way to keep the executable file small and loading fast, and also to keep things maintainable without reinstalling the whole application.
If in question, statically bound libraries are much better, even if they may cause some redundancy. Also redundancy is not avoidable when different thrid-party DLLs require different versions of one and the same Microsoft DLLs.
DLL-Hell in 2010
Assume you have a new great tool --say, the side-by-side manger that resolves all conflicts and keeps track about everything, if installed properly. That's an improvement. But shouldn't there be some fallback mechanism that makes it possible to get things running? Shouldn't it be possible to use a existing DLL of very similar version that is existing, instead of denying a program to run? The latter is a catastrophe for users and for support (if existent). This seems especially hard to understand in the case of a long concluded part such as the C standard library.
And shouldn't there be more straight and distinct information to vendors and to system administrators? Experienced administrators who were confronted with 0xC0150002 in my presence had no idea how to proceed. Amusingly, Microsoft apparently published an article The End of DLL Hell a while ago, but all links to it (even those on www.microsoft.com) point to a page containing the text "This content has been removed".
It is worth noting that DLLs no longer save disk space. In fact, the opposite is the case. If you have a look into the side-by-side repository (found in Windows' WinSXS directory), you will find, that its 5 GB on Windows 7 and even 7 GB on Windows Server 2008, containing 40.000 files with numerous versions of roughly all Microsoft Libraries. That's about 50% of the disk space used by Windows in total. We were needing s solution, but we created a monster.

"Sarina has been wonderful to work with, and I am very happy with the quality of the clothes I purchased as a result of her recommendations. The measurements taken were much more detailed than I am accustomed to at other clothing stores. These measurements resulted in pants and shirts that fit me better than anything I have purchased in the past. I highly recommend Sarina, and I endorse the quality of her work."

Welcome Back
So it's the New Year! The traumatic, frantic shopping trips, for the holiday season are behind you. Everyone's trying to get you to make New Year's resolutions, change this, stop doing that etc. NO THANKS! Not me, I like you just the way you are. For some years now I've turned my back on negative New Years Resolutions, life is too short, there is enough pressure with work and family without adding to it yourself.
What would you really like right now?
- Inspiration
- A good book
- To learn some interesting techniques
- To take a leap of faith and try something different
- To make a dream come true
Well the good news is Taking Flight by Kelly Rae Roberts, is the perfect book for right now. If you read blogs like mine and creative magazines and wish you were doing something like that, either your own blog or the creating itself, but for whatever reason haven't yet taken the step to make it happen, then Kelly's book will help you find your inner dreams and start to make them blossom into reality.
For many years I fought with an inner demon, the voice of my art teacher from school. He would constantly critisise my work and never encourage me. Everything I created, even many years after leaving school, I would have this inner commentry of his voice criticising it. I belived this inner voice and I too thought what I created was no good. I tried The Artists Way but found it simply too difficult.
Kelly Rae Robert's book is a joy to read, from the very begining she inspires you with her own journey and how to discover what it is that you would like to do. Kelly then takes you on the most amazing voyage to take your dreams and make them possible. Unlike other books of this kind, you feel like Kelly is right there with you, holding your hand, while you find your way. Leading, but without pushing you. It is the most encouraging, uplifting and empowering book, I've ever read. If you want to be encouraged not judged, to silence the inner critic and allow your inner creative spirit to flourish, then this book is for you.
If you are asking why I am not doing my usual more in depth description of the book, it is simply because this book is a journey in itself. You will find a different journey within its pages, to the one I did. That's the beauty of it, each of us has a different dream, and are on a different path, your answers to Kelly's questions will be different to mine. But one thing you can be sure of, this book speaks to your soul, it helps you discover what is important to you, what you need and that what you need isn't always the same as what you want.
Here are the details of Kelly Rae's book so you can find a copy for yourself. You are worthy, you do deserve to make your dreams come true. You can make it happen, and Kelly will help you find out what your 'thing' is.
