The Southern Cranes & Access Services Ltd Open Maiden Race at Tweseldown point-to-point in Hampshire bears scant resemblance to the Cheltenham Gold Cup, except that both in their different ways shed light on the extraordinary life of 28-year-old Sam Waley-Cohen, the amateur jockey who is due, a week today, in the chocolate-and-orange colours of his father Robert, to ride second-favourite Long Run in the Cheltenham Festival's blue riband event.
Waley-Cohen won twice at Sunday's point-to-point, having helicoptered himself to Tweseldown. He has been piloting helicopters since he was 21, and aeroplanes since he was 18. He is a mountaineer, too, but likes to set himself a challenge getting down as well as up, so when he recently climbed Mont Blanc, he did so carrying skis, then skied down from the summit. Last year he ran the London Marathon, but not, of course, the easy way. He was roped up to 35 others, in an assault on the world record for the most people to run a marathon tied together.
His is a rich, privileged and fun-loving young man's lifestyle, that could be dismissed as self-indulgent, decadent even, were it not for three things. One, he raises a great deal of money for charity, not least towards the running of Tom's Ward, a children's unit at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital named after his younger brother, Thomas, whose death from cancer in 2004, aged 20, is one of the reasons Waley-Cohen tackles life with such buccaneering verve.
Two, he has, with singular drive and vision, built up a string of dental practices. He's not a dentist; just an entrepreneur whose "light-bulb moment" occurred, coincidentally, in the weighing room at Tweseldown some years ago. Where Clare Balding saw a jockey with bad teeth (Liam Treadwell) and cracked an uncomfortably public joke, Waley-Cohen spotted a business opportunity. Why, he wondered, looking around, were people's teeth so bad? Partly, he decided, because so many dental practices were poorly run. Portman Healthcare, with 170 employees and growing, represents his dynamic and doubtless lucrative solution to the problem.
And three, while he plainly wouldn't be partnering such a fancied horse in next week's Gold Cup were his father not the owner (as well as Cheltenham's chairman-elect), he has more than earned his spurs as a horseman. It is less than two months since he faultlessly steered Long Run to victory by 12 lengths in the delayed King George VI Chase at Kempton Park. It was trainer Nicky Henderson's inaugural success in the King George, A P McCoy on Kauto Star finished a distant third, and Waley-Cohen, with a fifth place in the Grand National and two wins over the Aintree fences already on his CV, banked himself yet more credibility as a big-race contender.
To meet him, I travel on a glorious March morning to Upton Viva, the handsome stud farm between Stratford and Banbury owned by his parents. The Waley-Cohens are an illustrious lot. Immaculately clipped topiary racehorses on either side of the front door indicate their principal interest nowadays, but Sir Bernard Waley-Cohen, Sam's grandfather, was Lord Mayor of London, and Sir Bernard's father, Sir Robert, was a leading light in Anglo-Jewry and a founder of the Palestine Corporation, created in 1922 to promote the economic development of what was then the British mandate of Palestine.
Inside the house, the high-achieving scion of a high-achieving family is visibly taken unawares. He had clean forgotten I was coming, which is perhaps understandable, given the constant juggling of commitments that becomes even more frantic in the run-up to Cheltenham. Short and wiry, with dancing brown eyes and the public schoolboy's accent you would expect of a fellow who counts Prince William and Kate Middleton as old friends (and indeed is said to have brokered their 2007 reconciliation), he asks me to wait while he fires off a few business emails, and then we settle in the spacious Upton Viva kitchen, to consider, first of all, Long Run's chances of landing Henderson a first Gold Cup.
"It's a time of high tension," he says of these pre-Festival days, "when people find fault with the slightest things. You know, the lie of a horse's hair is not quite sitting right, what does that mean? Yet everyone seems incredibly happy with him, which is rare in the racing world. He's in good shape. Nicky is a bit like Gordon Ramsay this week, adding the final bits of garnish to a great raw product."
But is the significant word there "great", or is it "raw"? The French-bred Long Run has not prospered in his outings at Cheltenham so far, and there are suspicions that the track doesn't suit him. Waley-Cohen rejects this, and besides, the horse has since been put through his paces by the jumping guru Yogi Breisner.
"He's a horse with great self-belief, but that cocksuredness meant he didn't always respect the fence. In France, where the fences are a bit softer, you can get away with that. If you don't meet them quite right you can take the top six inches off, but if you do that here you're in a whole world of trouble. So we've had to address that. Physically, there's no problem with his jumping. The challenge next week will be to get into a nice even rhythm round the undulations. But I wouldn't want to be on any other horse. If you gave me a list and said pick one, I'd pick Long Run."
This is predictably assertive stuff, but Waley-Cohen hardly needs reminding that there are three previous Gold Cup winners in a formidable field, and that their names happen to be Imperial Commander, Denman and Kauto Star. Whether the latter two in particular have now peaked is, he says, "the million-dollar question. The stats guys will tell you that an 11-year-old hasn't won since 1958 or whatever, but that a six-year-old hasn't won for 40 years either. There's a big sense of the unknown about this Gold Cup."
He was not at all miffed, he adds, when the media pounced less on his and Long Run's success in the King George, than on the eclipsing of Kauto Star. "He's been a worthy champion for so long, I quite understood why he was the focus of racing's attention. Long Run announced his arrival on the scene that day, but he hasn't staked a place in racing history in the way that Kauto has. It was legitimate for us even to ask ourselves whether we were as good as we appeared to be."
And the answer? "Yes. In the past five years there's been only one faster King George, and [runner-up] Riverside Theatre has since won very well. I have every confidence in the horse, and in the way I'm riding, which is probably the best I've ever ridden."
I wonder, though, whether he feels entirely embraced by his peers. His obvious talents notwithstanding, does the weighing-room camaraderie extend in full to a wealthy young man riding his dad's horse?
"I think I'm a bit of a novelty to them, but when they've seen you boiling like a lobster in the sauna, and nursing a few bruises, then you do get respect," he says equably. "I try to find a balance. It's their day at the office, so it's no place for joking, but at the same time it costs me a fortune to be there, it's not like I'm going to make a fortune, so it's got to be a bit of fun, otherwise what the hell are you doing?"
Fair enough, and since he is a manifestly likeable fellow I am sure he's popular in the weighing room. But it seems worth probing again; has he ever overheard the whispered charge of nepotism? He smiles. "Racing is a brotherhood, and it extends across a full range of emotions. There's goodwill, competitiveness, envy, outright animosity. I know I'm lucky, but everyone there is on a good horse through some break of good fortune. I don't sit in a corner thinking I shouldn't be there. On the contrary, my amateur status is a huge motivation, to show them that I deserve to be there, and the truth is that once you're legged up on to the horse, it doesn't matter what helping hand you've been given. Also, while I know I'm at a disadvantage because I don't ride as much as the professionals, I try to turn that into a strength. I can do the homework, study the videos, that they don't have time for."
I don't suppose that any amount of preparation, though, can eradicate the self-doubt that must surely creep into his mind if he glances across in the final furlongs to find himself neck-and-neck with McCoy's mount, or Ruby Walsh's? A short laugh. "Well, you think, 'Blimey, that's McCoy, or Ruby, or Dickie Johnson,' but not in the sense that you can't beat them. What you know is that your horse has to be better than their horse. But very few races are won in the last furlong. Most are won, by jumping and strategy, a long way out."
It is an analysis that applies a hundredfold to the Grand National, the race that 20 years ago kindled Waley-Cohen's interest in the Turf. In this year's National on 9 April he hopes to ride one of the ante-post favourites, only part-owned by his father, Oscar Time. "He's awesome, a brilliant jumper. And the National is probably my favourite race, ahead of the Gold Cup. Obviously the Gold Cup is level weights, top horses, on the biggest stage for the biggest prize, yet for me the lure of the Grand National is what it represents. There's ego, greed, envy, danger, death, blood. It's life distilled into a few minutes, with glory and wealth at one end, disappointment and devastation at the other, and a lot of mediocrity in between."
It is eloquently put, as is his answer to my question about his mental priorities. Does he ever find his mind wandering, while racing, to Portman Healthcare? Or, when at his desk studying spreadsheets, to Cleeve Hill or Becher's Brook? "Actually, no. When those goggles go down, your whole world is between those two furry ears in front of you. That's what's so great about it. And I don't think about racing when I'm working, either. You can't when you have 170 people working for you, all with families, all needing to live."
As for his own domestic arrangements, they are set to change in June, when he gets married. It is not quite, though, the society wedding of the year. So is it true that we can thank (or perhaps blame) him for the increasing royal wedding hoopla?
For the first time in an hour, he looks ever so slightly uncomfortable. "Supposedly. I'm not sure I was the Cupid's arrow... they probably would have worked it out on their own account. But they've both been friends for a long time." And the invitation is on his mantelpiece? "Yes, although I keep teasing my fiancée, Bella, that if there's racing that day we'll be going racing." He chuckles. "But I don't think she's having any of that."
Latest in a long line of successful Waley-Cohens
Sam is just the most recent member of the Waley-Cohens to hit the headlines as his ancestors have a history of attracting both wealth and status.
* In starting Portman Healthcare, it seems Sam has inherited some entrepeneurial blood. His father, Robert, founded Alliance Medical in 1989 and sold it in 2007 for £600m.
* His grandfather, Sir Bernard, was a businessman connected with investment banking, real estate development and farming. In 1960 he was elected Mayor of London. His one-year term is best remembered for the parties he gave at his official Mansion House residence. He was given the title of Baronet of Honeymead, a title passed on to his son, Stephen, who is Sam's uncle.
* As well as being a leading light of Anglo-Jewry, Sam's great-grandfather, Sir Robert, was an early oil pioneer. Joining the Shell Oil Company in 1901, he negotiated its merger with the Royal Dutch Oil Company, becoming director of the company.

Hi Ann,
Would it be wrong of me to post one of my own annoyances here in this thread?
The only annoying thing about your blog is that the comments are on the same site. Therefore, when I try to search your site for something like, say "Military Commissions Act," most of the results are from the comments, and not from your own posts.
If you used an external comment system like YACCS, then the search results for your site would ONLY include your writings. Of course, on the other hand, your users' comments would not be searchable if you made this switch.
I'm sure you know all of this already, so forgive my unsolicited opinion. I know it's "annoying" when readers complain -- so please forgive me.
Cheers. - 1/3/07, 9:47 AM

Really Annoying: Referring to celebrity couples by merged names. And I think lists themselves are annoying -- who needs to be reminded about Keven Federline, for example, or Pat Robertson?
- Bissage said...
I wasn't annoyed in the least. In fact, I was delighted. Were it not for your post I'd never have known of that list.
Please don't overestimate the sophistication of your loyal readers. I know for certain that one of them is quite dim and wholly reliant upon your good counsel. - 1/3/07, 11:32 AM
Here's my list of annoying (which doesn't apply to this link obviously because it was put together online):
'year in review retrospectives' out on store shelves with a week left in December that were obviously pulled together after November.
As just one example, under 'obituaries' you won't find James Brown, Gerald Ford or Saddam Hussein.
Two years ago they really got burned when the biggest international story of 2004 caused a lot of those 2004 retrospectives to sit on store shelves because everyone wanted to read about the tsunami.
But considering that USA Today can put together and distribute a newspaper all over the U.S. in less than a day (one way is that they wire the layout to local publishers), it seems to me that year-in review magazines could be put together during the year (hence 90% written already), then edited as needed in December and published and distributed within no more than three days. - 1/3/07, 12:33 PM

John Mark Carr was the most scary thing in 2006, or OJ maybe. Or Bird flu? :)
Bissage:Please don't overestimate the sophistication of your loyal readers. I know for certain that one of them is quite dim and wholly reliant upon your good counsel.
Make that two.
That was a laugh-out-loud funny list. My probable favorite was the Captain Crunch cereal mention ("mouth shredding danger breakfast"), but I was also right there with #96 (Audrey Hepburn Gap ads -- who past the age of 19 can wear skinny pants these days? More importantly, who should? No one!). The entire top (bottom?) 15 was absolutely brilliant. Many is the time I've wanted to smack the smug off of Hannity, even though we're ostensibly on the same political team. - 1/3/07, 9:46 PM

It's a New Year. 2006 is so yesterday. Instead of pondering lists of the old, you could turn over a new leaf and finally get organized. You really could. You could even get help from the National Association of Professional Organizers. Or you could just stop obsessing and learn to love the order in disorder and the beauty of the blooming penicillin mold.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 23, 2014) - ETSU was unable to overcome a solid pitching performance by Stetson ace Meridith Owen, who allowed just two hits Sunday, as the Buccaneers fell to the Hatters, 11-0.
Stetson left fielder Courtney Brandt went 2-for-4 at the plate with a pair of home runs, driving in five RBI en route to helping the Hatters seal the three-game sweep of ETSU.
For just the second time this season, the Buccaneers (11-15, 1-8) were held scoreles, as Stetson's Owen cruised to a her 12th win of the season, a two-hit shutout. In 12 and two-thirds innings of work over the weekend, Owen allowed just one earned run while striking out 15 batters.
Both of the Bucs' hits came in the bottom of the third inning, as Mykeah Johnson (Cohutta, Ga.) led off the inning with a double to left center.
With one out, freshman shortstop Kelsey Chernak (Ooltewah, Tenn.) singled to advance Johnson to third before Nicole Fox (Peachtree City, Ga.) walked to load the bases. However, the Bucs were unable to capitalize on the scoring opportunity, with Johnson being retired at home plate on a fielder's choice and Katie Wolff fouling out to end the inning.
ETSU was outhit in its three-game series with Stetson, 42-12.
The Buccaneers, who averaged nearly nine hits per game in their first two three-game series of the season, have been limited to a combined 20 hits in six games versus Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson.
Brandt batted 4-of-10 for the Hatters (21-5, 6-2) during the weekend, hitting four home runs and driving in 12 RBI. The left fielder hit six home runs last season.
Last season, seven Atlantic Sun teams ranked in the RPI Top 100, the fourth-most of any conference in the nation behind only the SEC (12), Pac-12 (9), and Big Ten (8). The Southern Conference, which ETSU will join next season finished with just three teams ranking in the RPI Top 100.
After beginning the season with seven wins in its first 12 contests, ETSU has struggled to find the win column in league competition, opening A-Sun play with a 1-8 record.
Currently, the Bucs are scheduled to take on Liberty Wednesday, March 26 in a double-header; however, anticipated inclement weather could potentially postpone the series. Updates regarding any schedule changes will be released on ETSUBucs.com and via Buc Updates, which can be registered for here.

An ideal tribute to Richard Wagner, who in 1881 completed the draft of the third act of Parsifal here, inspired by the swans in the pond. A selection of Nero d'Avola cultivated on high hills and Cabernet Sauvignon are combined to express the potential of the Sicilian vines and the elegance of the international variety.
A key component of the classic Bordeaux blend, with several clonal sub-groups, this variety makes its Italian home mostly in the north. It's one of the noblest red wine grapes, and one that can be relied on to produce consistently good wines. The medium-dense clusters are conic-cylindrical in shape. The bluish-coloured berries are rounded, thick-skinned and covered in bloom. A variety that produces extremely elegant wines with high alcohol content, it adapts well to all sorts of different climatic and territorial conditions. The strong, woody stem helps its cold-weather resistance, while the thick, bloom-covered berry allows it to defend itself not only from the cold and damp, but also from heat and insect infestation.
Despite its long history, the Nero d'Avola grape has only become widely known and loved in recent years; now, this native Sicilian variety has reached great heights all over Italy and the world. Passion and dedication lie behind our red monovarietal, starting with the low yields in the vineyard which guarantee a high-quality vintage of notable concentration. By ageing it partly in wood and parly in steel vats, we can supplement the fresh fruity notes of a young wine with elegant spices and liquorice which bode very well for further maturing.

Paddle boarding event raises money for Komen
NEWPORT BEACH – Annabel Anderson, the 2012 women's world stand-up paddle boarding champion, believes early detection and a lumpectomy at 19 staved off what could have turned into breast cancer.
That's what the cheery, high-energy New Zealander said while helping at the Standup for the Cure paddle boarding event and fundraiser Saturday. Weeks after she discovered a lump more than a decade ago, doctors removed it. That's the sort of timely action she believes could help women.
"Be aware of your body. Look out for yourself," said Anderson, 31. "If in doubt, get something checked."
Now she lives worry free. In her native New Zealand, breast cancer screenings are free. In the U.S., they're not. That's where Standup for the Cure and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation are stepping in.
Saturday's event organizers were hoping to raise $125,000 for the Orange County chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. That would be enough for 1,000 mammograms for underinsured women.
But more than raising money, the purpose of the event was to defeat any remaining stigma women suffer from having breast cancer, and to get women to talk about the disease openly.
Event organizer Judie Vivian got breast cancer three years ago and overcame it. But talking about it for her and others hasn't been easy.
"Last time we had lots of women coming up to us in tears saying, 'I thought I was the only one,'" Vivian said. "People don't like to talk about breasts."
At Standup for the Cure, women were able to get free breast cancer screenings while people of all ages milled around Newport Dunes, many wearing pink, the symbolic color for the breast cancer awareness movement. In a show of defiance in the face of disease, hundreds of stand-up paddle boarders took to the water simultaneously, racing from the shore, around harbor-docked boats and back.
Seven hundred people showed up at the inaugural event last year, and 1,000 came this year. Last year, the event set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of people participating in a single stand-up paddle boarding lesson.
Paddle boarding is a particularly useful vehicle to spread the breast cancer awareness message because so many stand-up paddle boarders are women, Anderson said.
"At least half of the people who stand-up paddle board will be women. It's almost more popular with women who are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, who are more predisposed" to breast cancer, she said. "So it's a captive audience."
Dozens of volunteers offered time and expertise to help put on the event, which also included booths and tents for paddle boarding and surfing industry retailers. Matt Becker, 18 and an accomplished surfer from Santa Barbara, was working as an instructor. Since his mom is a chemotherapy nurse, he has witnessed the ravages cancer can wreak, inspiring him to chip in.
"I've been able to see firsthand how gnarly it is," he said.

From storage capacity to price to plans. Guess who wins (you'll probably be wrong).AdvertisementMy impression is that nobody clearly wins. Each of these phones have their own strengths and weaknesses, but there's still not a definitive one. My favorite is still the iPhone just because the user interface design and the amazing applications—it's not the number, but when you have 126,000 apps, inevitably you are going to have some amazingly good apps in each software category. However, in terms of specs, things are not that clear at all. At the end, it's still a matter of personal preference. [Billshrink—Thanks Ricky]

Pine Cone Moves Into Retail
June 6, 2005
,Lenox, Mass. — Moving from a role as a designer of rugs, fabrics and home textiles and tabletop products, Pine Cone Hill founder Annie Selke and her husband Whitney have now become retailers in a big way.
"The store was planned as an ever-evolving test laboratory to show how to put things together as our customers would in their home," she related.
The new home store occupies the same 7,000-square-foot space in a local shopping center as the outlet did, which has
been moved to another store in the center.
Selke comes to the home furnishings design world via a varied background: formal training in fine arts; an apprenticeship in various elements of the home business on the Saks Fifth Avenue training program; and in licensing, retailing and private label home textiles design for companies like L.L. Bean, Eddie Bauer and Garnet Hill.
Selke's signature is color, lots of color, and brash color, rather than a specific design theme. "How many places would you find a sofa in lavender or a leather chair in lime green?" she asked. Current color favorites are turquoise, lavender and orange.
The core business for Pine Cone Hill is home textiles, which began in 1994, followed by Dash & Albert in rugs in 2003 and Pot Luck Studios — a 15-year-old tabletop company the couple bought in 2001.
In October '04, Lee Industries signed on as the licensee for upholstered furniture, and Corsican became a licensee for metal beds, "because I always needed something different, and they are making beds in 10 colors for me."
Pine Cone Hill produces its own home textiles, rugs and fabrics offshore, with Whitney Selke in charge of sourcing. The company has a staff of 35 in India for the fabric business, which is centered there, as well as some home textiles and rugs. Rugs also are produced in China.
"The rug business evolved from placemats I designed but didn't work," she said. Selke then translated the same constructions into rugs. Bedding is sourced in 10 countries including China, Israel, Portugal, Brazil, Italy, Vietnam and Austria.
With a wholesale account roster of 2,500 plus, the company works with 35 to 40 retail partners in developing shop-in-shop concepts, including the one opened last year at Lillian August, South Norwalk, Conn.
With the store here opened barely a month, Selke sees customer service as being one of the key challenges now that the merchandise mix has been dramatically expanded.
"But what we've found early on is the Berkshires are starving for this kind of store." Interestingly, the company's strongest consumer market is in North Carolina. "And we sell very well in California — they love color," Selke said.

What our Customers Say about our Service |
"My parents live in Israel. My dad did not feel well recently so I decided to send him a gift basket. It was a bit tricky finding a company that delivers to Israel, as I did not want to send just flowers and chocolates. I recently had a bad experience on Valentine's day with another service my boyfriend used, so I took care to do ample research on the net. I found giftbasketoverseas.com and chose the luxury wine and cheese basket. They were so professional and called me within a few hours to verify that I indeed put in the order. My parents got the basket right on time, and were basically knocked off their feet by it's beauty and luxury. So worth it! I will always use this company for future orders. It's so important when it's a gift for you loved ones! Highly recommend this experience for anyone who want to send a gift basket. The variety is also amazing with regards to options on their website. " Oranit - USA - Mar 11, 2010 "I have had a email from her son Stan and said that Madeleine was thrilled with the arrangement of roses for her 91st birthday. Thank you again for your service." Kathy P - Queensland, Australia - Oct 12, 2015 "I just wanted to let you know that I'm really glad to do business with you guys again. I've purchased from you outside of work as well and I'm amazed at the efficiency your company has. You can ship anywhere and on time. I ordered a gift basket for my father in California about three days before US thanksgiving and the basket made it on time! And I know that when I need to ship baskets internationally under tight deadlines, you guys can get it done. Truly. We've used other companies before where gifts containing fruits, wine, cheese, or even chocolates where held up at customs or the packages 'never' arrived. It's great to know that with your company, the baskets will arrive and I can just move on to other tasks." Adam - Quebec, Canada - Dec 5, 2012 "One very happy customer. Everything went smooth right from placing order, getting contacted by a customer Representative and delivery of the product. Ordered "The Gifts of Heaven Holiday Assortment" to a friend in USA to surprise him on his birthday.. The gift was delivered on time and was exactly the same as shown in pic.

New York – On a radio show they hosted called "The Pursuit of Happiness," John Littig and Lynne Rosen urged listeners to embrace spontaneity.
"So much about life is about impulse," Littig said on a broadcast this year on an FM station in New York, WBAI. "It's about doing it right now."
A shocking decision the couple made together appeared more methodical: Police say they killed themselves side by side as part of a suicide pact.
Autopsies found that both Littig, 47, and Rosen, 45, died from asphyxiation after inhaling helium, a spokeswoman for medical examiner's office said Thursday.
The bodies were discovered Wednesday on a couch in the couple's brownstone in Brooklyn.
In separate suicide notes, Lettig indicated that they were determined to die together, while Rosen apologized to her family, police said. But beyond that, why two people who made a living giving advice on how to lead more fulfilling lives decided to cut short their own wasn't clear.
There was no immediate response to a message left Thursday at WBAI.
"RIP Lynne Rosen + John Littig. Partners on the air and in life," the station wrote in a tweet.
The victims were partners in self-help venture called "Why Not Now," according to their website. The site describes Littig as a motivational speaker, workshop facilitator and personal life coach, and Rosen as a life coach, speaker and consultant.
Rosen also was the host of "The Pursuit of Happiness," a once-a-month, hour-long show on the left-leaning WBAI. She was often joined in the Manhattan studio by Littig.
The pair's breezy banter about life's lessons is on display in YouTube postings of the broadcasts. In one, they mull a famous quote, "Do one thing every day that scares you," attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt.
"People get scared to make changes and step outside of that comfort zone, right, John?" she says.
"Stepping outside your comfort zone is very important. Or alternatively you can start to get comfortable with change," he responds.
"Yeah! I like that!" she says. "That's great."
And while pondering Albert Einstein's observation, "Imagination is more important than knowledge," Littig espouses the virtues of acting on impulse.
"Intuition, impulse are extraordinarily important things in life," he says. "You will not be well-served if the impulse is shut down or you think about everything too much. Sometimes you just do it."

And as a means of celebrating the most disgusting consumer day of the year (Black Friday) and promoting his upcoming Eviction Notice mixtape, the super-skilled MC has dropped "Need." It's a lyrical tour de force that puts everyone in the world on blast for constantly craving, or needing as it were, the newest and most up-to-date version of everything. It's also got one hell of a beat from frequent collaborator EOM, who seems to lace Wax with all of his best material. You can stream the track below. Eviction Notice drops next week.

The Boeing Company of Houston, a NASA Commercial Crew Program (CCP) partner, has successfully completed a preliminary design review (PDR) of the component that would connect the company's new crew capsule to its rocket.
The review is one of six performance milestones Boeing has completed for NASA's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) initiative, which is intended to make available commercial human spaceflight services for government and commercial customers. The company is on track to complete all 19 of its milestones during CCiCap.
Boeing is one of three U.S. companies NASA is working with during CCiCap to set the stage for a crewed orbital demonstration mission around the middle of the decade. Future development and certification initiatives eventually will lead to the availability of human spaceflight services for NASA to send its astronauts to the International Space Station.
The component that was reviewed is called the Launch Vehicle Adapter. The critical structure is being designed by United Launch Alliance (ULA) to join Boeing's Crew Space Transportation-100 (CST-100) spacecraft to ULA's Atlas V rocket, just above the rocket's second stage.
"Solid systems engineering integration is critical to the design of a safe system," said Ed Mango, NASA's CCP manager. "Boeing and all of NASA's partner companies are working to build in proper systems integration into their designs. This review with Boeing and their partner ULA was a good review of the current state of these important design interfaces."
In recent weeks, teams from NASA, Boeing and ULA met at ULA's headquarters in Denver, Colo., to assess requirements and capabilities to safely launch people into low-Earth orbit from U.S. soil once again. The PDR was a culmination of early development and preliminary analysis to demonstrate the design is ready to proceed with detailed engineering.
"The PDR was an outstanding integrated effort by the Boeing, ULA and NASA teams," said John Mulholland, vice president and program manager of Boeing Commercial Programs. "The ULA design leverages the heritage hardware of the Atlas V to integrate with the CST-100, setting the baseline for us to proceed to wind tunnel testing and the Launch Segment-level PDR in June."
In addition to the Launch Vehicle Adapter PDR, Boeing recently completed two additional CCiCap milestones, including the Engineering Release (ER) 2.0 software release and the Landing and Recovery Ground Systems and Ground Communications design review.
The ER 2.0 software release was completed Jan. 25 in Boeing's Avionics and Software Integration Facility Lab in Houston. This test laid the foundation for the software structure to control and fly the spacecraft, as well as communicate with pilots and ground systems.
The landing and recovery ground systems and ground communications design review Jan. 16 to 18 in Titusville, Fla., established the baseline plan for equipment and infrastructure needed for CST-100 spacecraft ground communications and landing and recovery operations.

As you embark on parenthood, feeding your baby will become one of your daily adventures. One of the easiest ways to be green while knowing where every bite comes from is making homemade baby food purees. It's not only simple, but a fun way to get your little one involved in the feeding process from day one!
Recently, I made Baked Maple Bananas for Kenya. Everyone who tried them couldn't get over how delicious they turned out. They're intensely sweet, creamy and have a delicious caramel note to them. I felt like there were more recipes to be mined from that one. Pears are in season and abundance at our farmer's market, so I thought I would try roasting them together with bananas to make baby food for Chloe. There's nothing wrong with pureeing ripe pears and bananas together, and when you roast them it just intensifies the flavors and texture even more. Click here to get Catherine's recipe and read more about her experience with feeding her kids!

Time for 'cynical' reality check
Last April, in a Register column, Mayor Keith Curry called me a "cynical and mediocre" taxpayer for questioning the cost of the Taj Mahal/Civic Center.
Well, I guess I'm still one of those mediocre taxpayers, because I continue to question the decisions of our big-government politicians.
And yes, I plead guilty to being cynical. I'm sorry if I make the mayor's Lincoln Club meetings uncomfortable by publicly questioning his big tax-and-spend ways.
Now our good mayor wrote a column in the June 21 Current talking about the city's new $279 million budget and how it "limits spending." Really?
According to city budget documents, total spending in 2003 was $104 million. A mere decade later it's $261 million, a 151 percent increase.
The same budget documents show that in 2003, total revenue from all sources was $110 million. This year it's $254 million, a 131 percent increase.
Our population in 2003 was 80,000. This year it's 87,000 – a 9 percent increase resulting from the annexation of Newport Coast and its multimillion-dollar homes that generate a surplus for the city.
How did we double the budget and double revenues in just 10 years? We elected big-government, big-budget, big-ego politicians.
This year, and every year for the next three decades, they will spend $8 million of your hard-earned tax dollars on the new Taj Mahal (that's $22,000 for each and every day for 10,950 days). In the good mayor's world of "limited spending," that's a deal.
And our big-government mayor structured the financing so the electorate never got a chance to vote on the 30-year debt, resulting in a $228 million monument to ego and excess.
Stanford University estimates the city's unfunded pension liability at $265 million – the highest per capita in Orange County. When you combine the Taj Mahal debt with our unfunded pension liability, this council that has basically been in power for the last decade has left our children with almost $500 million in long-term debt.
Most of the current council members joined the council in the middle of the last decade, the mayor in 2006.
Midway through their first terms, they wrestled to the ground a raft of fee increases on the public, generating a profit for government that would make Karl Marx proud.
The good mayor crows about the city's $118 million surplus, as if the role of government is to pile up profit. Only a big-government politician would brag about the "profit" the city has amassed.
They should stop profiting off the residents and businesses and reduce taxes and fees.
To put this in perspective, Costa Mesa, a full-service city with its own police and fire department and a population of 112,000, has a total general fund budget of $132 million.
The mayor talks about reducing 100 employees during these difficult times. If they were nonessential, why did we have them in the first place? The bureaucrats play games with employee numbers every time scrutiny is upon them.
But you can't fib to Wall Street when you borrow $130 million for the Taj. Two years ago we had 1,004 full-time employees, according to the city's bond disclosure documents. Far in excess of the head count our big-government mayor discusses. We have the highest employee-to-resident ratio in Orange County – creating a legacy cost structure that is unsustainable.
We are home to $200,000 lifeguards and a librarian who makes more than the governor of California.
This council, led by the mayor, has accrued more long-term debt than all of the councils combined since the city incorporated in 1906.
I can only conclude that they tax too much, borrow too much, spend too much and regulate too much. Big government is alive and well in Newport Beach.
The mayor has said I am part of a small cadre of mediocre cynics. Here's the mayor's city telephone number: 949-644-0800; and email address: email@example.com. Am I really a minority? Whether you're for or against the spending, call or email the mayor and give him your personal opinion, and we'll see.

A cable-stayed artwork in the artium of this U of M building contains a pendulum, LED lighting, helical elements, and engraved numbers, all referring to themes of science and mathematics. My hand-held panorama, stretching over 180 degrees from basement to ceiling, and the uniform texture of many of the surfaces, confused Photoshop and resulted in this Escheresque image.

The main base for Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing is the Hillcrest Hotel, located just off the Trans Canada Highway, 7 kilometers east of the main turnoff into Revelstoke. If driving from the east you will see the large blue Hillcrest Hotel sign on the left hand side prior to reaching Revelstoke. If driving from the west, keep driving past the turnoffs to get into Revelstoke and you will then see the sign on your right hand side. Take the turnoff road at this sign and it will lead you directly to the Hillcrest Hotel. Once you arrive at the Hillcrest, feel free to check out our retail shop located on the lower level.
Fitness & Ability
It is important to have good cardiovascular fitness in order to enjoy the demands of skiing powder for multiple days.
We recommend that you engage in some kind of exercise program for eight to ten weeks prior to your ski trip.

Group protests dismissal of long-time North Preston teacher
A group of upset parents from North Preston walked into the Halifax school board Thursday to protest the termination of a popular, "committed" teacher.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP/Photo by Scott Gries/Invision/AP
TORONTO — A chorus of Canadian LGBTQ YouTubers, including pop duo Tegan and Sara, is calling for the video service to stop filtering out gay and trans-themed videos for some users.
The Calgary-raised sisters took to social media to question why YouTube's "restricted" setting blocks a wide variety of LGBTQ-friendly content for no clear reason.
"If you put YouTube on restricted mode a bunch of our music videos disappear. I checked myself. LGBTQ people shouldn't be restricted. SAD!" Tegan and Sara tweeted. Among the missing clips were videos from their latest album, including for "That Girl" and "U-turn."
They were joined by Halifax singer Ria Mae, who said her video for "Gold," which features the singer in a lesbian relationship, was also being filtered out.
"Young gay kids need to see themselves represented and they need to know it's normal, it's OK and it's not X-rated," Mae said in a video on her Instagram account.
"It sends a bad message to young gay kids and young trans kids that their lives are not normal or acceptable."
At issue is YouTube's "restricted" designation, which lets parents, schools and libraries filter content that may be considered inappropriate for users under 18. YouTube calls it "an optional feature used by a very small subset of users."
What's unclear is whether the types of videos in question are being labelled as "restricted" for the first time, or if this has been an ongoing practice that's only recently gained attention.
Video producer Michael Rizzi, who's based in Toronto, says he's concerned with the message it sends to loyal YouTube users. He's seen 176 of his 236 videos disappear in "restricted" mode, representing 75 per cent of the clips he's uploaded over the past five years.
Rizzi says he wished Google's YouTube executives would've been more transparent about how this happened. Instead, they appeared to sit back as YouTubers made the hashtag #YouTubeIsOverParty a trending topic on Twitter over the weekend.
"It's more a feeling of being pushed to the side," Rizzi says. "It's a pretty big screw-up on their end."
In an emailed statement on Monday, YouTube acknowledged the filter saying "some videos that cover subjects like health, politics and sexuality may not appear for users and institutions that choose to use this feature."
YouTube added later that "some videos are incorrectly labelled by our automated system and we realize it's very important to get this right."
"We're working hard to make some improvements," the company said without offering further details.
The lack of information has left YouTubers struggling to determine what's being sifted out, what isn't and why it's happening.
Rizzi suspects video tags like "LGBT" or "gay couple" may be triggering the filter for "7 Things I Love About My Boyfriend," a video he says shouldn't be restricted for a younger audience.
Even his clip commissioned for YouTube's #ProudToBe campaign, timed to last year's Pride Month, is now filtered out.
"YouTube's own equality campaign is restricted, which is probably the weirdest part of everything," Rizzi says.
Fellow YouTuber Stef Sanjati has seen about 20 per cent of her content — or 49 videos — filtered in the site's "restricted" mode. She says the filter is hiding clips of her talking about transgender student bathrooms and makeup tutorials.
She hasn't been able to figure out which keywords tagged to her videos might trigger the filter.
"The execution is so off the mark," she says.
"It's not about clicks and view counts. It's about these resources being available for young people who would otherwise have no access to them."
Sanjati vented her frustrations in a 10-minute YouTube video that's been viewed more than 33,000 times. She hopes by speaking out, YouTube executives will understand how they've negatively impacted a loyal segment of their users.
"Restricting (these videos) is sending a message that we should discriminate against these people," Sanjati says.
"I'm hearing, 'I'm sorry you feel that way, we might fix it one day.' And that's not really enough for us. It feels very dismissive."

Town Square
University Avenue Traffic
Original post made by Bill Mainzer, Menlo Park, on Aug 27, 2006
Close traffic on Universtiy Avenue between Emerson and Middlefield (could be a little higher) to all traffic after 10.00 or 10.30 am each morning. Convert Lytton and Hamilton to one way streets going in opposite directions to encourage faster traffic flow (not speed) and allow restaurants to set up on the sidewalk and in the street like a European downtown (walking only)
Of course, the cross streets would be open for crosing from one side of town to the other. Make them one way going in opposite directions too.
We would have the best downtown in California with even more going on than now!

Old stuff.
It was tried in the 1970s for several years and then abandoned.
It was done to "liven up" downtown, which at the time was the dullest place in the known universe. Other than angering residents, visitors and business owners, it had no effect at all.

Great idea! BUT, yuo'd get pushback from some business owners, and those residents who hate change.
Now that University Ave. has been built out to a commercial success, and there is good feeder parking to University Ave. shops and restaurants, your idea would eventually open up Lytton and Hamilton to more commercial development, and voila!, more sales taxes for the city.
We should also consider doing something like this on California Avenue.

Great Idea - though will take a major effort to overcome the resistance.
What would help will be a city owned shuttle ( maybe some fancy shape - cable car replica, old convertible car structure ) to ferry the patrons on the areas closed to the general traffic.
I walk on these streets with my kids - and I will welcome the "no traffic" change .. but at the same time, I will really appreciate the city owned transport for use on rainy and cold days ...

I remember that one way loop bit. I kinda liked it, but I think they needed work at the SW end. The money they dumped for than bike tunnel might have been better spent.

Martyrs on the Block
The Virgin Suicides
During the last decade, some writers from the generation that grew up in the suburbs have returned to this previously discredited site and reinvented it. Neighborhoods that once seemed impervious to magic of any kind have become increasingly popular settings, in novels and movies, for the fabulous and the bizarre. Beautiful women appear naked on respectable front porches, strange constellations rise in the night sky over identical rooftops; fathers and punks engage in epic battle on modest front lawns. Alice McDermott, David Lynch, Alice Hoffman, and Steven Spielberg all explore fantasies of suburbia with varying measures of affection and irony. Jeffrey Eugenides, who has just published his stylish novel The Virgin Suicides, belongs in this list.
Eugenides, a first-time novelist, is a little like a man who offers to juggle several incongruous and life-threatening objects before your eyes. You're not sure if he can pull it off, and you're not sure about your motives in watching him try. He may be too ambitious and set himself on fire, or knock you out with a bowling pin; but it's hard to turn away. On his first page, he makes it clear that his title means what it says, and that he plans to spin a dreamy, elegiac tale from its terrible promise:
On the morning the last Lisbon daughter took her turn at suicide—it was Mary this time, and sleeping pills, like Therese—the two paramedics arrived at the house knowing exactly where the knife drawer was, and the gas oven, and the beam in the basement from which it was possible to tie the rope. They got out of the EMS truck, as usual moving much too slowly in our opinion, and the fat one said under his breath, "This ain't TV, folks, this is how fast we go." He was carrying the heavy respirator and cardiac unit past the bushes that had grown monstrous and over the erupting lawn, tame and immaculate thirteen months earlier when the trouble began.
Five teen-aged sisters commit suicide under the same roof in less than a year and a half and under three hundred pages; can Eugenides keep all these balls in the air—horror, humor, mystery, sadness—and manage to suspend your disbelief as well, without making you furious at him or disgusted with yourself?
Even the structure of the novel hinges on an outrageous romantic conceit. Many years after the Lisbon tragedy, an investigation into the girls' suicides is undertaken by the guys from their old neighborhood. Now on the brink of middle age, they are still scarred by the girls' deaths—afflicted with a sort of Annabel Lee syndrome—and they make up the shadowy Greek chorus that tells the story. In order to learn why what happened happened, these amateur detectives have returned to the scene of the crime: the suburbs where they grew up. Specific references that would suggest too strongly a particular year or location have been carefully smoothed away, while every predictable landmark, from the tree house to the…

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
In 1793-94 Madison and Hamilton in the Pacificus-Helvidous Debates argued about the proper role of the executive and the legislative branches of the U.S. government in the conduct of war. Writing as "Helvidius", Madison observed that:
War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement. In war, a physical force is to be created; and it is the executive will, which is to direct it. In war, the public treasures are to be unlocked; and it is the executive hand which is to dispense them. In war, the honours and emoluments of office are to be multiplied; and it is the executive patronage under which they are to be enjoyed. It is in war, finally, that laurels are to be gathered, and it is the executive brow they are to encircle.
About this Quotation:
The publication by Liberty Fund of Hamilton and Madison's The Pacificus-Helvidius Debates of 1793-1794 (2007) and the putting online of a 10 volume collection of The Writings of James Madison (1909) is an excellent opportunity to begin exploring the thought of James Madison. Here we look at the "Pacificus-Helvidius" debates. President George Washington's proclamation of the Neutrality Act in 1793 sparked a spirited debate between Alexander Hamilton ("Pacificus") and James Madison ("Helvidius") over the war-making powers of the executive and legislative bodies. Hamilton, preferring more centralised control and a more powerful presidency, was in favor of broad powers for the executive branch; whereas Madison feared that under the guise of war the president could and would amass great powers over budgets, patronage, and honours. Hence he favoured the balance of powers remaining with the legislative branch.

Did you know that MRIS receives thousands of suggestions every year? As a Senior Product Manager here at MRIS, I am often asked what happens to those suggestions.
First of all, let me say how grateful we are to get feedback from you! Whether you submit your ideas and suggestions on our social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, via the suggest link on mris.com, through the support center, or through discussions with other MRIS staff members, all great ideas start with you. It is your feedback that helps us determine where to spend our development resources.
Wondering what happens next after all that listening? Once the suggestions arrive in our office, the marketing group compiles a list by product, and shares it with the product management department each month. Each product manager reviews the list and determines which suggestions to work on.
The product manager works with our customers, the support center, the client alliance managers, and our development group to make sure we are finding the right solution that meet your needs. From there, the development is scheduled, completed, tested, communicated, and delivered. It takes many people to make it happen, but it all starts with you.
Once again, your feedback is important to us and it is very much appreciated.

Two Tons of Marijuana Seized at San Clemente Checkpoint
U.S. Border Patrol agents seized 2 tons of marijuana at the immigration checkpoint near Camp Pendleton over the weekend. The bust occurred early Saturday morning, when agents stopped a U.S. citizen driving a Nissan van. Inside the rear of the 38-year-old man's vehicle, agents found 113 bundles of pot weighing 2,750 pounds, which they valued at $1.65 million, according to San Clemente Patch.
It's unclear how agents arrived at that figure, although presumably the pot was Mexican brick weed, given where it was seized and how much of it the driver was carrying.
This is the second high-profile bust at the checkpoint in just the past few weeks. On Jan. 24, agents stopped a 2011 Hyundai Elantra driven by a man wearing a suit and tie (which seemed odd given it was 1:15 a.m., according to another Patch article. (Glad someone's still keeping the lights on there.)
After determining the driver was in the country illegally, they searched the car. Inside, agents discovered a whopping 700 pounds of cocaine valued at $6.7 million. The haul represented the same amount as three-quarters of what the Border Patrol had seized in the entire previous year.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
A dispute between two soldiers spiraled into a bloody attack at Fort Hood, Texas, that left four people dead and more than a dozen wounded Wednesday afternoon near a medical building, according to preliminary law enforcement reports. The gunfire sent tremors of fear across a sprawling Army base that was the site from one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history a few years ago.
Many basic details about the shooting remained unclear in the chaotic hours after the first calls for help, including what caused the soldiers' fight, but senior U.S. law enforcement officials said the incident did not appear to be linked to any foreign terrorist organizations. The shooter was among those who died, the officials said, apparently by his own hand.

Alsace is rich agriculturally (especially in the plain between the Rhine River and the Vosges Mts.), geologically (potassium exploitation in the Mulhouse area ranks France among the top worldwide producers), and industrially. Strasbourg is the ancient capital and the leading industrial center. Textile industries are located in the Mulhouse-Colmar area, and wines (notably Riesling) are produced there. Hydroelectric plants are at Kembs and Ottmarscheim. Virtually the whole population speaks French, but a very large majority have also retained their German dialect. About 75% of the population is Roman Catholic. Alsace retains many old customs such as the wine and harvest festivals.
