Morgana King: Four Classic Albums (For You, For Me, For Evermore / Sings The Blues / The Greatest Songs Ever Swung / Let Me Love You) (2CD)
Ref: AMSC1021
(UK Postage Free )
The Godmother brings it home .!!
AVID Jazz here presents four classic Morgana King albums including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD.
For You, For Me, For Evermore, Sings The Blues, The Greatest Songs Ever Swung and Let Me Love You.
To quote from the liner notes for the Let Me Love You album recorded in July 1956, good singers are at a premium these days .lets say it out in front, Morgana King is a good singer ..always has been endowing a song with a warm and very personalised feeling. Born into a musical family in 1930 in Pleasantville N.Y., her father played guitar and sang, while her first husband was the talented jazz trumpeter Tony Fruscella who introduced Morgana to the music of Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday and Thelonious Monk among others. Her second husband was the jazz trombonist Willie Dennis who had played with Mingus and Mulligan and would collaborate with Morgana on many musical projects. Morgana herself studied at the Metropolitan School of Music. These four classic, hard to find albums, recorded between 1956 and 1959 all allude to the emergence of a bright new singing star that was Morgana King. With a four octave voice, Morgana was hard for critics to categorize, was she jazz or something else? It could explain why despite more than 30 albums to her name, recorded from the fifties to the nineties and rave remarks from such as Stevie Wonder who was quoted as saying Morgana King has done the best version of You Are The Sunshine of My Life I have ever heard, she never really found the full recognition she so richly deserved. She was even invited by Frank Sinatra to record three albums for his Reprise label in the mid sixties while the seventies saw her take on the role of wife to Marlon Brandos Don Corleone in the classic The Godfather parts 1 & 2. These early albums show us what a great singing talent Morgana was and (indeed still is!) as she moves with consummate ease from jazz classics to blues to standards from the Great American Songbook.
All four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever!

I probably shouldn't say this considering my 3DS retail collection doesn't go into double digits yet, but this might be the most underrated game...that's a retail game at least. It's easily the best launch title of the 3DS, that for certain.
It's literally just a good turn based strategy game. One of those games that have a fairly small amount of units but many of them are named and can be upgraded like crazy. So it's very much awesome few characters vs. tons of bad guys. Probably a decent game to play while waiting for FE or WHERE'S MY NEW ADVANCE WARS NINTENDO. Something like that. It's not super innovative or anything you can't live without, but it's been really fun and even on normal has so far felt noob friendly enough so even someone not good at the genre like me can play it on normal (there's also expert difficulty btw). Granted, the graphics often make Advance Wars: Days of Ruin look like Kirby's Epic Yarn and the characters so far have been extremely meh but otherwise it's been a lot of fun.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 better be happening! In the meanwhile though, here's a fun little Let's Play of the original. Think you'll like the game if you like Zelda!

This comes to you late at night from the Doncaster-Leeds flyer, the last stage of an epic journey which has included a marvellous spell in and around Peterborough with George Barker, a titan of urban wildlife enthusiasm in the UK, and then a trip on a 'bat punt' in Cambridge with that city's excellent batman, Iain Webb. All will be explained in due course.
Iain and the punt poler Nick Ross-Lewin were chatting as we glided along in the dusk about what they called the 'arms race' between radar stealth weapons employed by both bats, the hunters, and moths, their prey. Here from last night's trap catch is what looks like a powerful weapon in that fight, the delicate set of antennae on a Willow Beauty.
Here's the same moth seen from above, accompanied by one of the snails which fearlessly ascend our garden furniture and sometimes even the house. Also dozing away was this very pleasant Rosy Rustic, unaware how close it was to a wasp - fortunately equally dopey. But now we are passing Elland Road, so I must post, shut down, unplug, go home and sleep. Night night.

without a doubt…. black bear
without a doubt…. black bear
I would be interested to no if there were any more photos… is this the only one you have…. nevertheless I believe it is a bear….
If you look at the picture it is not Bigfoot or a bear it is really a ape they look more like as a man.
It is a ape
Black bear with a skin condition. Or else some one released a chimp
A wet black bear
that is not a black bear…its hind legs are longer than its front which indicates that it would walk in an upright position or be known as a biped….it looks to be in the ape family…I would submit this photo to the bigfoot researchers organization or BFRO.org
This is no way appears to be a bear unless it has gotten some kind of skin issue that effects the hair. I would be interested and greatly appreciate it if you would let me know if you hear exactly what this is.
yup that's my ex husband.
Its 100% a gorilla or an ape of some kind.

Sack dress update and a day out
The Victorian technical school
An interesting corner
Woman so happy to be out of the house for one day. Oh yes, I was in a building full of visually stimulating, and lovely objects and where am I for my photo of dress in action? By the toilets...
So I took the children out for the day and where does a die-hard sewer take their kids? The theme park, the safari park, the zoo? No silly, of course not, we went to Bilston Craft Gallery. Now certain relatives have sniggered when I announced we were going on a day out to Bilston because it is a fairly non picturesque place.
We walked past some interesting buildings that hint at Bilston's past - I always am taken with this one which has "Technical School" on the front and the words "Science" and "Art" above the windows. It makes me think of Victorian self improvement and education. So sad it is derelict now.
Back to the day trip, the craft gallery is great , and the best thing about it is this - Craftplay. It is a purpose designed space for 0 - 7 year olds. You have to book in and it is only open limited days of the week. There ia s a member of staff there who is lovely and parents have to stay and play too. There is making and loads of materials but it is not prescriptive craft where everyone makes something like a halloween mask for instance. Oh no, it is much more child centred and about exploring materials. So, there is a round table with materials and then other activities all around. Little I started with some glue and glitter, yoghurt pots and made a sort of 3d collage. T made a giant plastic tube with attachments. There was flubber and gloop to put your hands in and play. There was sand with glitter in for "cooking" and there was dressing up. There are lots of interesting corners to see and things to touch and listen. to T built a complicated system for ping pong balls using piping.
In a foyer space where we ate our sandwiches there was a notice board full of local opportunities for designer/makers, and a table with reference books. This was enlightening and refreshing for and I felt a bit like I had crawled out from a shell and realised there is a vibrant crafts scene in the West Midlands. We went there on the train to Wolverhampton and then on a tram. They found this very exciting. Trams are a novelty to us as they don't have them where we live. It is fun to whiz past the traffic jams on the tram. I could have driven there (and have done before) but going by public transport made it into more of an expedition and adventure. It also made me feel like I had come out of my little bubble for a day.
And, finally, I wore my black sack dresss, I received some really great advice after posting about this dress. I took the pockets off and just thought I would give it a go. Maybe like Roobeedoo suggested I just need to get used to wearing a different shape. I wore it with thick tights, my flat green boots and a cardigan. Oh yeah, and I loved it. It was comfortable and easy to wear, I managed to bend down and play without feeling exposed. I think the pockets were perhaps a detail too far. One of those things that look good on paper or in my head but not so great in reality. Sometimes perhaps less is more. I still think the fabric choice was wrong as it is quite creasy and attracts dust but heigh-ho, I will take that as a learning point.
One last thing about the dress and then I will shut up about it - I found the neckline a bit too high and I hadn't fitted the yoke quite properly so I had to tug at it quite a bit during the day. I have an alteration in mind but it's in the wash now havingbeen covered in flour, glitter, and glue yesterday.
4 comments:
Hooray for adventures in a homemade dress! :) I agree, it looks great, probably one of those dresses that will become part of your repertoire because of it's comfort and its versatility.
And I loved your thoughts on shelves. Organization also makes me amazed at what I have (and thus, what I don't need to buy).

My sister and I both love The Big Bang Theory. Fans of the show will recognize "Soft Kitty" and understand why G is singing it for her Aunt Rachael with the broken ankle!
I pretty much worked the day away yesterday and by yesterday afternoon, I had this much finished. I was more than happy to have all the white FINISHED...or so I thought. Drat. I still need to put in some snowflakes.
And, here it was as of noon today. :o) There are still things that need to be done (and I quite forgot just how much time it takes to cross stitch) but I'm pretty pleased with my progress. That's quite a bit of work for a weekend.
Alright, well the pic of Brandon Flowers is definitely for my own personal viewing pleasure. I love his music and he is pretty easy on the eyes as well (okay, VERY easy, and, yes, we're both married so I shouldn't be looking anyway, but...
Tristan Prettyman released My Oh My yesterday on iTunes and I snapped it right up and have downloaded it into this mix. Love it.
Recently my sister posted a few summer songs she's enjoying and I liked seeing what she's got in her current music rotation. I make a new music mix every so often, load it onto my iPod and enjoy it until my mood shifts. I find that the seasons play a role in my mood for music. This summer I've been drawn to mellow music - probably due to the overwhelming heat.
Summer 2012:
Flower - Amos Lee
My Oh My - Tristan Prettyman
I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz
If I Ever Get Around To Living - John Mayer
Never Go Back - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals
Sweet Inspiration - Derek Trucks Band
The Longer I Run - Peter Bradley Adams
Seven Story Mountain - Railroad Earth
Harvest Moon - Neil Young
Sweeter - Gavin Degraw
Glory Bound - Wailin' Jennys
Sail Away - David Gray
Waterbound - The Fretless (featuring Ruth Moody)
Family lore has it Liss was desperately trying to come up with a well-balanced, yet quick and easy meal one night and was limited to the ingredients she had on hand (life is not always easy for a single mom with two little ones only 20 months apart in age). This was the end result. :o)
4 small cans tuna, drained
2 cans Cream of ________ soup (Liss uses celery, we use mushroom and cheddar)
1 medium yellow onion, diced
10 oz frozen peas
1 soup can of milk (I know, I know, sounds weird, but we use the can so we can get the dregs of the soup out)
1/2 cup mayo
1 bag egg noodles
Colby cheese to taste
While you boil water for the noodles, sautee the onion until just soft--this allows them to cook fully when baking. When noodles are cooked and onions are just soft, mix everything together and pour into a greased casserole dish. Top with shredded cheese and bake at 375 for 45 minutes.
(Mom, Jess, this is right, right? I didn't forget anything?)
Simple, inelegant, delicious. :o)
I loved to cross stitch, and completed a couple of larger pieces when I was in college. Then, I got married and discovered this amazing thing called the "Internet" and the next thing I knew, I no longer had time for cross stitching (husband, children, my internet addiction) and my flosses and patterns languished in the closet. Feeling sorry for them, I found a friend who cross stitched and gave her every last one of my cross stitching goodies and bid them a fond farewell.
Who knew I would be desperately needing them 10 years later? I'm unable to do anything other than sit with my foot elevated at the moment and I'm getting BORED! My lovely friend Robin suggested I pick cross stitching back up as I was tired of the 'net and couldn't focus on reading anything.
Just let me tell you, cross stitching is obviously not the "in" thing any longer. I had a miserable time trying to find a pattern I would enjoy doing and have some use for, I couldn't find a hoop to my liking, and there was no Fray Check to be found anywhere!
I finally found these cute snowmen and decided I could definitely do something with them. If nothing else, I can frame them and put them out at Christmas with the rest of my snowmen buddies. ;o)
I remembered how to find the center of the design and my cloth and got to work, only to have to remove five rows of stitches 30 minutes later because I had miscounted. GAH!! Then, I had to remove more work last night. That tiny bit of stitching up there? That is over five hours of work. No, I'm not kidding.
It makes me wonder what I was thinking to pick up this piece. Doh!! But, I loved the colors and figure I'll be cross stitching from now until the end of time, and surely in that time I can get this finished. Right?
Leonid Afremov is a Mexican painter I stumbled upon via Pinterest. I immediately fell in love. I like very dramatic color contrasts as I prefer bright, sharp, vivid color to muted shades. His ability to capture glowing light with a pallet knife impresses me.
I don't know the first thing about "good" art. I know when I go to art museums or galleries and I see "art" that I could personally make that I am unimpressed. Four pieces of plywood painted in various shades of paint scream "The Emperor's New Clothes" to me. But what do I know - I have no art work hanging in a professional art gallery. I know what I like and that is that.
I first saw a painting by Leonid Afremov titled "Where Dreams Come True" and I knew immediately that if I could find a large enough print of it I would buy it. I had no luck of finding it. The pallet knife creating the colors in the trees is really compelling to me. I found another painting of his called, "Stroll In the Fog" that I liked very much as well and I was able to buy a print of it in a gallery wrapped canvas. I now have it hanging over my fireplace and I cannot express the pleasure I get seeing it every day.
As my sister just seriously broke her right ankle and had surgery on it yesterday and my mom is there helping her out for the next couple weeks, I think I'll be holding down the fort over here at FYB. My niece's 5 year Heaven Day is on Thursday this week, so the entire family is already feeling pretty emotionally raw anyway. My sweet sister needs not one more bad thing to come her way in any July for the rest of her life. And can I also just add Syria, Syria, Syria. Oh, and this colossal heat wave (...climate change anyone ?) that is making me stir crazy inside with my kids which is sacrilege for summer. Anyway, I thought a post about my yearly planting failures would fit right into the general mood I've been carrying around with me.
I'm no expert gardener but I've messed around enough with various plants that at this point I typically expect plants to behave as advertised if I am giving them at the minimum the care conditions and appropriate watering that they need. That means if the tag reads, "full sun, sandy or clay soil" I expect the plant to be pretty carefree. This has not been the case with May Night Salvia. What kills me is that I see this growing in plenty of other places in which I know no one is taking any care at all with it and it looks beautiful.
Mine don't look like this because they have withered and died. Mine are brown and shriveled. They were planted in sun, in leaf compost, well mulched and are watered slow and deep every 3 days on a drip system. I simply have no idea what happened here.
Next are the Golden Jubilee tomatoes I tried this year. I have grown lots of varieties over the years, most I've started from seed myself. This year with my husband traveling an insane amount for his job (read M-F) while homeschooling my oldest and taking care of my 4 and 2 year olds, I decided to just buy seedlings and hope for next year. I bought 8 seedlings, Golden Jubilee being one of them. She actually got lucky enough to be planted in an Earth Box. So calcium or uneven watering should not be an issue at all. Somehow this lady has given me loads of tomatoes and every single one has the most pronounced blossom end rot I've ever seen on a tomato plant. Sure, I get a little every year here and there and never like this. I'm almost ready to pull the plant and just dump it. Nothing is usable on the fruit. Ack. So frustrating!
My father in law and husband are big wine aficionados, and during the 12 years I've been married I've learned to appreciate and enjoy wine as well. I have had Angeline Pinot Noir on several occasions that my in laws have hosted and it is superb. Even better it is well priced.
I prefer very dry white wine. I was happy to find an Angeline Sauvignon Blanc at Wegman's the other day. We paired it with garlic and butter dressed scallops over pasta and a light salad of tomato and cucumber tonight. It is a fresh, crisp wine that is very enjoyable. Highly recommend.
My kids love to toast marshmallows and eat s'mores. Frankly, I do too! What is not to like, right?
I love living in a small town. And there is little better than a small town parade, the kind of parade where anyone who wants to can join in. Today I braved the 90-degree weather to attend Blacksburg's annual Fourth of July parade. I found a shady spot, sat down and enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Blacksburg is home to a large research university with 28,000 students. But, in the summer most of the students are gone and we are just a homey little place. During these months we bump into all our friends and acquaintances as we make our way downtown. Whether it is a movie (with free popcorn) for $4 at the Lyric on Monday night or having a bite to eat at the Cellar, I am guaranteed to run into someone I know The same cannot be said the rest of the year.
So, friends, here are a couple of photos that illustrate the small town America is still alive and well.
Yes, yes, I know, I know, I owe you two more batches of daylilies. But, I got distracted! As most of you are aware, summer is not my most favorite season. I loathe the heat and humidity, the soaking in sweat the minute you walk outside, the mosquitoes, the blistering heat of the seats in the car...I could go on and on.
However, I've been trying to embrace the heat and misery and simply enjoy the moment and being in it. It's been a struggle, but I'm working on it. ;o) We went out for ice cream tonight and I didn't even think about the fact it was so hot the ice cream was dripping faster than we could lick it. I swear! Everyone around me was mentioning it, but I was simply enjoying my ice cream. :oP
I was thinking of my extreme dislike of summer and decided to try to find things to enjoy about summer, and lo and behold, I came upon Michael Franti & Spearhead and their song "Say Hey (I Love You)".
Holy smokes is it catchy and pop-y and so summery. Then, I found "The Sound of Sunshine".
Again, another summery fun and bubbly song. I'm sure I'm so late to the game with these guys, but when I find something fun, I have to share. :o)
And, speaking of summer, tomorrow is July Fourth. We're having a family picnic with Nana and Pop and I was put in charge of dessert. Have I mentioned it's hot here? I mean, really really HOT? No? Well, it is. Trust me. :oP Sooooo, I wanted a light, cool, refreshing dessert and immediately went to Lemonade Cake. Here's the recipe:
1 box yellow or lemon cake mix (since I'm a citrus junkie, I go for the lemon)
1 box instant lemon pudding
4 eggs
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup veggie oil
1 small can lemonade (I typically use a regular size can)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (I double it--see above)
Preheat oven to 350. Combine the first five ingredients. Pour in greased 9"x13" pan and bake for 45 minutes or until done.
Mix lemonade and sugar and microwave for one minute. Pour over cake while hot. (I typically poke some holes in the cake before pouring on the lemonade, and don't use all of it when I use the regular can.) Serve chilled.
I cannot express how quick and easy this cake is, nor how delightfully refreshing on a hot day. :o)
Enjoy your summer! I would LOOOOVE it if you would share your quintessential summer songs and recipes as I'm trying to do my best to make the most of this most miserable time of year. ;o)
And, as many of you know (and are probably experiencing), we are ROASTING here on the east coast. It was HOT Friday morning. But, that didn't deter us. We arrived, got our free daylilies (Miss Tinkerbells for Lissie, Lil and me, and a Sparkling Orange for Beanie) and began touring the grounds. I could have looked all day they were all so beautiful. Truly.
However, given the heat, and the fact we were there with a six year old and a two year old, alas, our visit was only about an hour and a half long. I snapped as many photos as I could of all the daylilies that caught my (or Liss's) eye. I find that I'm really drawn to corals, oranges and reds, and also like pink-ish ones. I'm not as fond of a startling eye zone, and really like blooms that are full and ruffled along the edge, preferring blooms that are about 5"-7". Here is the first batch of daylilies I loved.
Big Kiss makes me swoon. So does that price tag. ;o)
Love this one. Such a gorgeous color.
You know what, I could make comments about all of these guys, but I think I'll just let the flowers and photos speak for themselves. :o)
How sad was I to see this beauty and the one before it weren't for sale? Not that I'm buying any daylilies right now. Ha!
This one wasn't a fave, but I thought the ruffled edge that was a different color from the petals was interesting.
I'll post batch two tomorrow. :o)

Posted Wait Time Estimates Available In Lines Mobile App
by David Davies on May 10, 2012 18 Comments
Filed under: Uncategorized
The tools provided at TouringPlans.com are based on more than a decade of data collection, and we are constantly investigating ways to use this data to enhance our customers' vacation experiences.
Since its inception, our Lines mobile app has displayed the times that we expect you to wait in line. These wait times are data-driven estimates of the actual amount of time that will pass from the first time you encounter resistance in line until you board a ride vehicle or sit in a theater seat.
Unfortunately, many customers are disappointed when the "posted time" that Disney displays outside its attractions differs significantly from our "expected" estimate. To mitigate this, we have added explanatory text and started displaying our estimates of Disney's posted wait times in the Lines mobile app.
Normally actual wait times are less than what Disney posts outside the attractions. There are, however, exceptions, so do not be surprised to see expected waits that are higher than our posted wait predictions. For example, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had a 37-minute wait at 11:02 a.m. on Sunday, December 25, 2011, when Disney's posted time was 20 minutes.
As shown to the right, for each attraction the time in blue is still our "expected" wait time and stands out from the other information. Supplementing that is dark gray text that lists our estimate of Disney's "posted" time, along with our estimate of the return window of currently distributed FASTPASS tickets and – where applicable – our estimate of the single rider wait.
Enjoy this additional information, and please submit wait times (both actual and posted) when you are in the parks! Your submissions make TouringPlans.com better.
Finally, I thank those of you who provided feedback on this proposed user interface change in April 2012. Your comments were extremely useful!

Excellent addition. Really appreciate all you do!
This turned out quite nicely–can't wait to use it. Too bad my trip was last week.
Great addition but… on a blackberry browser, the times overlap & are difficult to read. Some people in chat are reporting the same problem in some iphones. Also, on regular browsers (firefox & internet Exploder) the horizontal lines no longer match up so it looks as if some of the times belong to the *next* attraction.
Really, given that this is the primary function of Lines, somebody should have QAed this before putting it into production.
Again, great idea, you guys do a wonderful job, but this really has to be fixed!!
FYI, all problems I'm reporting are not the "app", but when goes to m.touringplans.com via Blackberry or on a computer via the latest Firebox & Internet Exploder. Didn't check Safari or Chrome. Hope this helps you to debug. Best regards.
Blackberry is fixed, many THANKS!! Chrome is good too. Firebox & Exploder still have horizontal line problems. Being a programmer, I can attest that programming for all the different browsers is a royal pain in the neck, so I appreciate what you're up against. 🙂
Actually, the BlackBerry problem fixed itself–we made no changes. I believe the BlackBerry and iPhone issues are related to stuff that browsers have cached in order speed browsing. Clearing the browser's cache should help (although that's not necessarily a straightforward process), and the problem should right itself over time as the cached data grows stale. If I'm able to to verify a set of instructions that will help, I'll share them.
I believe I know what the IE/Firefox issue is, and I'll fix that, but getting the mobile device issues resolved is the top priority. If anyone needs a workaround to view Lines on a computer, please use the Apple Safari browser (http://www.apple.com/safari/) for now.
David, HA HA!! Yes, I *did* clear the cache on my Blackberry!! Also, FYI, it appears that the Chrome browser also looks good.
If on an iPhone or BlackBerry you are experiencing overlapping text in the Lines mobile app, please clear your browser cache, restart your phone (which might not be necessary), and try again.
To clear an iPhone cache, please see: http://browsers.about.com/od/allaboutwebbrowsers/ss/iphonecache.htm
To clear a BlackBerry Browser cache, please see:

Looks great!! Is free wi-fi available in the WDW parks? I don't believe it is so unfortunately I won't be able to take advantage of your awesome service but I thought I'd check just in case it was. My DD and I will be traveling in August and then again in November so if wi-fi isn't available now maybe it will be in the future?
There is 3G & 4G in the parks (depending on provider, I have t-mobile), but not wifi unless you create your own hot spot. Best to you.
Hmmm…I live in Canada and only have an iPod Touch to access wifi. Thanks for letting me know EJ.
David, it looks good in IE and Firefox under my Windows environment, and good in Firefox on Ubuntu. Also good on iPhone via app and Safari.
The new format looks awesome on my droid phone! We're heading to Magic Kingdom on Saturday, so the timing is perfect. I'll be posting as many wait times as I can manage.
Re your estimates of Disney's "posted" time and the FastPass return time, are they adjusted when Liners at the parks report these times? Or are they just listed in the Reported Wait Times section?
Yes. Submitted data (both historical and and same-day) from Lines users (including our researchers) are taken into account in all the estimates (expected, posted, FASTPASS, and single rider) that we display in Lines.
Cool! I had assumed that the estimates were adjusted on-the-fly when Liner reports came in, but we all know what can happen when you assume.
Checked it out on my old Droid 2 last night and it looks great! Thanks for your work on this.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) may have avoided about $400 million in taxes by exiting its long-time stake in Graham Holdings (GHC) - formerly known as The Washington Post Company - through an asset swap with the company that will add Miami-based TV station WPLG and hundreds of millions in cash to Berkshire's coffers. Wednesday's transaction also may also break new ground in how large investors structure deals to avoid taxes on their investment gains.
Berkshire's deal with Graham Holdings is structured in a way that may allow the Warren Buffett-run conglomerate to exit a multi-decade investment in Graham Holdings without paying any capital gains tax, Robert Willens, an independent tax expert, said in a Friday telephone interview.
And Berkshire certainly gained from its Graham Holdings investment.
The cost-basis for Berkshire's 1,727,765 million shares was $11 million, Warren Buffett said in Berkshire's 2000 annual letter to shareholders. Now, Berkshire is seeking to exit Graham Holdings at a value in excess of $1.1 billion.
Applying a 38 percent tax rate (federal plus state and local taxes) would bring Berkshire to about $400 million in tax liability, Willens said. The swap orchestrated between Berkshire and Graham Holdings, however, is likely to reduce Berkshire's tax liability to $0.
On Wednesday, Berkshire Hathaway and Graham Holdings agreed to a deal where the Warren Buffett-run company will acquire WPLG, cash and Graham Holdings shares in Berkshire Hathaway in exchange for Berkshire's 1.6 million share stake in the former owner of The Washington Post.
The Miami TV station will be valued at $364 million, and Graham Holdings will fork over $327.7 million in cash and $400.3 million worth of Berkshire shares, as part of the deal, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Berkshire Hathaway will retain between 91,490 and 111,716 shares in Graham Holdings depending on the trading prices of both firms as the exchange closes.
"The story here is that Berkshire is avoiding about $400 million in tax liability they would have incurred if they had done a direct swap," Willens said.
The mechanics of Berkshire's maneuvering are arcane, especially since both Berkshire and Graham Holdings hold large investment gains on each other company's shares. Berkshire holds 1,727,765 Graham Holdings shares, while Graham Holdings owns 2,214 shares in Berkshire's Class A stock.
To unwind each other's investment, Berkshire and Graham Holdings devised what amounts to a stock swap, although not a direct swap that would have locked in capital gains on both companies' respective investments.
"[W]hen the dust settles, the parties will have accomplished their unwinding objectives, but will have done so without tax consequences," Willens said in a Thursday note to his clients.
Berkshire and Graham Holdings will effect what is called a "cash rich split off" by creating a subsidiary, called "NewSub," that will execute the exchange of the TV station, hundreds of millions in cash, and stock between both parties.
Eventually, Berkshire will control 100% of NewSub's assets, and Graham will receive 1.6 million of its shares from Berkshire.
Normally, both corporations and investors must recognize taxable gains on appreciated assets, even if they transfer shares for assets such as cash or business lines.
But Berkshire isn't directly taking the TV station from Graham, and Graham isn't taking Berkshire's stock. NewSub is doing all of the stock, TV station and cash swapping. As such, the swap may meet Sec. 355 of the federal tax code that exempts capital gains.
"The Exchange is intended to qualify for non-recognition of gain and loss to Graham and to BH under Sections 355(a), 355(c), 361(a) and 361(c) of the Code," Berkshire Hathaway said in a filing with the SEC.
The most important element to qualifying for Sec. 355 in the case of Wednesday's deal is that the Internal Revenue Service won't see NewSub's assets as being comprised two-thirds or more of investment assets, a disqualified investment corporation. Investment assets in the swap would include the $327.7 million in cash and the $400.2 million in stock Graham will transfer to Berkshire by way of NewSub.
Because Graham and Berkshire will place a $364 million value on WPLG and the value of the stock and cash that comprise the rest NewSub won't exceed $728 million, investment assets are unlikely to exceed the IRS's the two-thirds threshold.
"The I.R.S. certainly has an interest in showing that the value of the TV station is less than $364 million. If it is less than $364 million, NewSub might be treated as a disqualified investment corporation," Willens said.
If Warren Buffett's tax lawyers and bankers earn their fees, NewSub won't be considered a disqualified investment corporation that would be liable for capital gains tax.
"This particular cash-rich split-off breaks new ground since, to our knowledge, it is the only one in which the investment assets of the distributed subsidiary consist, at least in part, of the stock of the very shareholder to whom the subsidiary's stock is being distributed," Willens wrote on Thursday.

Santa Baby
We've been having trouble figuring out what to buy our friends and family for Christmas this year. To help out on the idea front, we decided to draw inspiration from some of our favorite musical artists' Christmas wishes.
Andrew Volpe, Ludo: "This year, all I want for Christmas is world peace. And I would really like to catch Santa Claus in the act. And I want a glowing power-scepter."
Aimee Mann: "This Christmas, I'm hoping somebody buys me the Illinois Senate seat! Also I'd like an iPhone."
Musiq Soulchild: "I never really want for much in life. I've been through enough to appreciate the simple things. And whatever I don't have, I know that I've been blessed with the means to get it. However, if I had to say, all I want for Christmas is sleep!"

Lenka: "I would like for everybody to try really hard to recycle and limit their waste this holiday season. And I'd like to have a long, leisurely swim through pristine waters somewhere in the world. These two things would make me very happy!"
Doug Robb, Hoobastank: "All I want for Christmas is the willpower to say no to the 99-cent menu items at all the fast-food restaurants. 'Uh...I'll take a No. 3 combo with a Coke.' 'Anything else, sir?' 'Uh...okay, I'll have two 99-cent extreme chipotle burger flingers on artisan bread.' Dammit, they got me again!"
Jon McLaughlin: "All I want for Christmas is a federal bailout package. It doesn't have to be much; not one of those corporate bailouts on the top shelf; just one of those bottom-shelf personal bailouts. And maybe instead of $700 billion, we could just get $700 million. If pushed, I would take $700."
Jimmie Deeghan, Every Avenue: "All I want for Christmas is a suitcase that won't fall apart. Every suitcase I take on tour falls apart, rips, loses a wheel, etc., etc...."
Mike Wiebe, Riverboat Gamblers: "What I would like for Christmas is to be able to keep making music and get better as a songwriter, guitar player and performer. It would also be great to be able to see all the bands I love really blow up to where they should be over the bands that I can't stand."
Veteran Houston bluesman Pete Mayes, 70, passed away at his Northside home December 17. The cause of death was unknown, but Mayes had been in ill health for several years; he lost both legs to diabetes and underwent quadruple-bypass surgery in 2001. Mayes played in the jump-swing style of Louis Jordan and his idol T-Bone Walker. Mayes also played with Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Junior Parker, Bill Doggett and Little Milton, as well as fronting his own band the Houserockers. The guitarist and singer, a native of Chambers County community Double Bayou, is survived by his wife, son and brother. • Robert Earl Keen (see Playbill) has some company. Houston-area native Hayes Carll, whose Trouble In Mind LP is topping year-end Americana lists far beyond Texas, played his "I'm Grateful for Christmas This Year" on syndicated shock jock Don Imus's Imus in the Morning show last week. The song is available for download at www.losthighwayrecords.com, and Carll plays Warehouse Live Friday.

Jewish World Review May 16, 2008 / 11 Iyar 5768 Hillary: It ain't over 'til the Pantsuit Lady sings By Dave Weinbaum
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Dear Hillary,
As long as you're going to appropriate quotes from my columns and use it in your campaign, you may as well hire me. The title above was taken from
my article published in JewishWorldReview.com from last Friday.
You used it, Sunday, albeit changing it a smidgeon and on Monday the press and voters went wild over it. Even the women on the View brought it up as a "cute hot topic."
Then on Tuesday you had your biggest victory to date. I say, with all lack of modesty, it's no mystery to me why you won W. Virginia by almost a 3 to 1 margin.
Remember last week, before you started using my words? You got whooped in N. Carolina and barely eked out a victory in Indiana where you were highly favored.
Senator, you need to hire me as your campaign manager.
Here's the deal. I get you elected, and then you utilize me as chief advisor. We must find your core, since you apparently lost it since "evolving" away from conservatism.
Besides, Mark Penn screwed up your campaign for millions, I guarantee I can mess it up for a lot less.
And what's up with that yattering Louisiana Cajun'?
I thought James Carville was stuck to you Clintons at the gumbo. He says he's got a check ready and waiting for Obama, for heaven sake. With friends like him and Richardson, you need someone like me.
Senator Clinton, I think we should do this formally to avoid all suspicions of the dreaded back door deal.
Consider this my job application.
Job sought: Campaign Manager�secondary spot, speech writer�desperation post�intern castin�I mean hiring. Bill can't do everything, can he?
Mission: Get Hillary Clinton (NOT BILL) elected to the president of the United States, preferably in 2008, but most certainly in 2012.
Here's my experience:
I'm ready and rarin' to go. I think that with the backing of Rush in Operation Chaos, Ann Coulter and her pom-poms, and my expert strategery and one liners, you'll kick Obama's butt easily. Then we'll sell the super delegates on Barack's unelectability, and win the nomination.
Then it's on to that tree-loving pansy war hero, posing as conservative, John "Save Anwar" McCain.
Besides, if you liked the title line, I've written 40,000 more. The one that seems most appropriate to your current situation is, "Victories often occur when you see no way to succeed, but refuse to give up anyway." Or "Never give up, never let up, and you'll never let yourself down."
Let's face it Senator.
Besides, you're not the only one that looks good in pantsuits.
Dave Weinbaum 555-CON-SERVE .
PS. If you don't hire me, could you put in a good word at the University of Colorado? I hear they have one opening for a professor that isn't an America hating Marxist.

Kennedy is an app that adds all kinds of data to your entries, including news, location, music, and plenty more. At its core, Kennedy is a pretty simple journal or notes app. You can write down quick blurbs of text and they're organized by date and time. From there, Kennedy adds a ton of contextual information like the weather, headlines in the news, the weather, and more. You can then sift through that data to see what kind of notes you left when it was raining, what you were doing when a big news event happened, or even search by the song were playing. Kennedy isn't nearly as full-featured as something like Day One, but the added context of the notes is really helpful. Kennedy ($1.99) | iTunes App Store via MacStoriesReply8 repliesLeave a reply

Meet the contemporary style of some of Melbourne's finest
designers. The work of Robert
Mills Architects impresses with the sleekness and the almost
sober-contemporary elegance. The perfect blend of black and white creates a
strong contrast, emphasising the architecture studio's choice for luxury chic.
It is said that black and white are infallible, therefore the architects played
with this combination as much as they liked. Moreover, they added a playful
element: the swirly staircase, that somehow breaks the perfect neat, yet sober
elegance. At a closer look, the staircase is a sculptural centre piece, a symbol
of this gorgeous luxury home.
The project called Verdant Avenue
is located in one of Melbourne's exclusive suburbs, away from the crowded city
centre. The glossy terrace and the infinity pool add a note of sophistication
to the already impeccable design. The courtyard is filled with lush vegetation,
showcasing a refreshing-green environment. "Floor to ceiling glass
brings views of a giant pin oak into every room, creating perfect harmony
between architecture and landscape." All in all, it's about the natural
equilibrium every individual seeks for. Now, we are very curious how do you
find this project. Please feel free to share with us!

Liverpool's Luis Suarez Compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wins Player of Month
Liverpool forward Luis Suarez has been likened to Swedish maverick Zlatan Ibrahimovic by teammate Mamadou Sakho, following news the Uruguayan was named Premier League Player of the Month on Friday.
Suarez picked up the gong after his outstanding contribution to the Liverpool cause in December, and Sakho—who has played with both players—says Ibrahimovic is no better than his current colleague.
Gentside Sport (h/t Ian Holyman of ESPN FC) provides the quotes:
Luis Suarez is in the same category as Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He's among the top five strikers in the world right now. They have different qualities, but they are both machines.
Luis Suarez is also a cool guy. He likes to joke around in the dressing room. He even tries to speak French sometimes with his funny accent. He's a good guy, contrary to the image he has. I also thought that when I arrived, but I soon understood that he was someone who's prepared to do everything to win, but he's a good person.
Suarez was magnificent throughout the month of December, scoring 10 goals as Liverpool maintained their push not only for a spot in the top four but also the league title. He was rightly awarded for his efforts:
In total, Suarez has netted 20 league strikes in 15 appearances this term. He sits atop the Premier League goal-scoring charts, despite missing a large chunk of the campaign through suspension.
Luis Suarez's December form | ||||
Opponent | Score | Goals | ||
Hull | 3-1 L | 0 | ||
Norwich | 5-1 W | 4 | ||
West Ham | 4-1 W | 2 | ||
Tottenham | 5-0 W | 2 | ||
Liverpool | 3-1 W | 2 | ||
Man City | 2-1 L | 0 | ||
Chelsea | 2-1 L | 0 | ||
Soccerbase |
By contrast, Ibrahimovic has netted 15 goals in 18 league outings for Paris Saint-Germain, per WhoScored. The Swede has scored a further eight in the Champions League.
Ibrahimovic was unlucky to be left off the three-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or award this year, as stated by Franck Ribery, per ESPN.
Sakho's praise for Suarez indicates he believes the Liverpool man can challenge for the title of world's best player in 2014.
Suarez's goals and assists in December led to 12 points for Liverpool, with the Uruguayan playing a key part in wins over Norwich, West Ham, Tottenham and Cardiff.
Ultimately, to prove himself equal—or superior—to Ibrahimovic, Suarez must play at Europe's highest level in the Champions League.
That is Liverpool's chief aim this season, and Sakho will hope Suarez continues to plunder goals in pursuit of it.

Dave's Diary: Dear High School Class of 2011...
Dave's Diary: Dear High School Class of 2011...
By: David Lindskoog | SFU Career Services Advisor
Dear high school graduating class of 2011,
Hi. It's me, Dave - I was one of the smiley, energetic people handing out popcorn last night when you came up to visit SFU for our open house, "Info Eve." Congratulations, by the way! It's a pretty cool experience to be offered acceptance to any university, let alone the top Canadian comprehensive school as ranked by Macleans. So, you've got good reason to feel proud of yourselves. I really could see that on a lot of your and your parents' faces last night. Way to go!
I wanted to write you a letter today for a few reasons. First of all, it was a lot of fun seeing you and I wanted to say thanks for your enthusiasm and for helping me to remember that I work at a pretty fantastic place where growth, transformation, and intellectual stimulation are routine phenomena. You helped me to get some valuable perspective in the midst of a very busy time of my life, and it's totally refreshing.
I'm not sure how many of you will get to read this, but there are a few other reasons I wanted to write you a letter. You'll soon be discovering that university can be a really great time. You're also probably getting lots of (unsolicited) advice from parents, siblings, friends, and let's face it - articles like this one, telling you everything from how to schedule courses to how to choose a major that will lead to the highest salary. And if not, you probably will be.
It might get confusing, all those people throwing information at you, but you'll probably just have to grin and bear it for a while until you can find out for yourself what it's actually like. And let's face it - that's going to be the best way to learn. After all, universities have changed drastically over the last decade, let alone the last generation. Back when your parents were going to university, they probably had to use an actual library instead of an online one! Having a laptop in class was probably a luxury as opposed to a near expectation. Tablets? Never heard of them, unless you're talking about something to help with that pesky headache.
Yeah, technology has really taken off. But that's not the only way that universities have changed. You see, there seems to be this disconnect between academia and students sometimes. And I'll be honest - I'm not sure what you're expecting to get out of university. If you're anything like I was, you have no idea. You're just hoping that you'll be better off at the end of the day than you were going in. If you had asked me what I was going to do with my degree when I first started university, I would have most likely just given you a blank stare and a few stammered sentences about waiting to see.
The thing is, I couldn't have been more right. Not having a plan was actually the best plan I could have made. I went into General Sciences pretty much just because I did well in physics and chemistry in high school. Guess how many calculus-based Newtonian mechanics/relativity classes it took before I realized that was the wrong path for me to be on? Just one.
But here's the flip side. How many psychology classes did it take before I was convinced to change my degree and major in psych? Again, just one. But I was still in the same boat, direction-wise. I still didn't know what I was going to do with that psych degree, just knew it was the only thing interesting enough to study. I knew I liked to write, so I decided to go for a minor in English as well.
Wait, was that a question? Psych and English? And I'm not working in a coffee shop?
I guess one of my messages to you is to not feel like you have to have it all figured out. In fact, it's better if you feel like you don't have it figured out, because you'll be in a better position to try out lots of different things. For me, it was a volunteer position that helped me to discover that I had a passion for helping others and that there were careers out there in which I could do just that.
Which brings me to another (final) message: don't forget to do things outside of the classroom while you're here. Participate in your education. Taking courses is only one facet of the university experience, and may not even be the most valuable one. Volunteer, join a club, do a co-op work term, get a part-time job, participate in student politics, whatever floats your boat.
I hope that your time at university is one of growth and success, however you'd like to define that. I hope you make some big mistakes so that you can learn stuff you'll never forget. I hope to see you convocating in 4 or 5 years, passing along whatever words of wisdom you've gleaned from your experience to the high school graduating class of 2015.
And I hope you enjoyed the popcorn last night.

oversight policy.
This page provides information about oversighters at this Meta-Wiki. For the policy that regulates its use globally please see the
Users with access to the oversight tool (called oversighters) are highly trusted administrators that can permanently remove entries in page histories and logs so its content is no longer available to users and regular administrators. The use of the tool must be done in accordance with the global oversight policy.
Use of the tool[edit]
This feature is approved for use in four cases:
- Removal of non-public personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, workplaces or identities of pseudonymous or anonymous individuals who have not made their identity public, or of public individuals who have not made that personal information public.
- Removal of potentially libelous information either:
- a) on the advice of Wikimedia Foundation counsel or;
- b) when the case is clear, and there is no editorial reason to keep the revision.
- Removal of copyright violations on the advice of Wikimedia Foundation counsel.
- Hiding of blatant attack names on automated lists and logs, where this does not disrupt edit histories. A blatant attack is one obviously intended to denigrate, threaten, libel, insult, or harass someone.
Appointment process[edit]
The basics of the appointment process are described at Oversight policy#Access. This section describe the process at this site.
As Meta-Wiki does not have an arbitration committee, oversighters must be chosen by community consensus. Administrators willing to candidate for oversight access at this Meta-Wiki must be at least 18 years old, of legal age in their place of residence, willing to abide by the relevant policies and sign the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. They must be familiar with the Wikimedia Foundation's Privacy policy and the access to nonpublic information policy and of course with the oversight policy, and be willing to abide them. They shall list their nomination at Meta:Requests for adminship under the relevant section the same way as a request for adminship. The vote will run for at least one full week and will only be approved if there are at least 25 support votes and at least a 80% support threshold. If those requirements are met the closing bureaucrat may list the successful candidate at Steward requests/Permissions linking to the successful application. A steward will change the relevant user rights if the other requirements are met.
Please do not post requests in public. Oversight requests for this Meta-Wiki can be done by sending an email using the following methods:
Please include the relevant diffs to be suppressed in the email, as well the reason why suppression should be used. |
Alternatively, you can email the same information to one of the following users of your preference (might be slower than using the mailing list):
- Barras (talk • email • contributions • deleted contributions • all logs • blocks • deletions • protections)
- Courcelles (talk • email • contributions • deleted contributions • all logs • blocks • deletions • protections)
- DerHexer (talk • email • contributions • deleted contributions • all logs • blocks • deletions • protections)
- MarcoAurelio (talk • email • contributions • deleted contributions • all logs • blocks • deletions • protections)
In emergencies, in case of cross-wiki oversighting and in other few cases the Wikimedia stewards may perform local oversighting at Meta-Wiki, per policy.

Thanks all for the supportive commentary through that recent battle with Plague. We are all feeling so much better. (Although this morning Ted did ask me how old I was, and when I said 'Guess', he offered 'A thousand?')
I tried to capture a photo of all three kids yesterday. It is impossible to get one shot where one of them does not look odd, except for George, who maintained a deranged, unblinking expression almost the entire time.
Check it.
Check it.
Teddy is gormless. Preparing for a future of asking the magistrate 'Who's paying for my bus ticket today?'
Teddy's 'photo face' is not as appealing as he thinks it is.
Here Ivy looks haughty and Ted looks constipated.
Photos with three kids. Any tips?
An important note - the world map cushion the kids are sitting on is made by the brilliant Cath from Chunky Chooky. It was Ivy's 5th birthday present, an object of absolute beauty. You can buy it here.
