"How's it going?" I ask the college student passing my desk at the library. "Same old, same old," she sighs, then pauses. "But that can be a good thing." What a joy to see such wisdom in a young person, I think to myself. It took me so long to realize the blessings of a same old, same old existence.
In my 20's, I was a major adventure hound. You name the trend and I jumped on board. Sneaking out of the dorm and partying all night? Did that. Getting chased by the National Guard during peace demonstrations? Did that. Experimenting with illegal substancesand inhaling? I was there.
I was a wild woman. If a man caught my eye, I pursued him shamelessly. When I was 19, I developed a crush on my French professor and showed up at his door with a plate of homemade cookies. I relished the looks of shock on my roommates' faces when I later confided that he and I had become lovers.
Although I had attended Catholic school and knew the rules inside and out, when I went away to college, I shrugged off the dictates of my faith like a snake sheds its skin. My favorite hobby was shoplifting. In the days before department stores attached security devices to garments, I once tried on a bathing suit, put on my clothing over it, then left the store gleeful. When my conscience troubled me, I assured myself that I was having my revenge on an unjust economic system. After all, the stores were robbing customers by charging too much for their goods, so I was just evening the score.
I did everything I could to avoid ordinary routines. When female friends graduated from college and headed to the altar, and eventually the maternity ward, I made a beeline to graduate school to study philosophy, poring over weighty tomes and smoking endless packs of cigarettes while debating the finer points of existentialism.
To my parents' horror, I did my shopping in an Army/Navy salvage store near the university, showing up in their living room carrying a gas mask bag as a purse. I scorned the tameness of my parents' world, which included Tupperware parties, wedding showers, crossword puzzles and all the everyday things that normal people did. My life, I decided, would be filled with adventures and mystery.
My love for the adventurous life turned sour, however, when I had a nasty brush with the law in a dreary border town in Texas. My boyfriend and I were traveling from Gainesville, Fla., to San Francisco for a summer vacation, and we swung into Mexico for a few hours. As we crossed the border back into Texas, the officers eyed our VW bug suspiciously and then ordered us to get out. We stood by, wide-eyed and frightened, while they searched every nook and cranny of the car, finally unearthing a small candy tin containing a smidgen of marijuana. We were charged with smuggling illegal substances across the border, handcuffed and escorted to jail.
That night in the cell, I lay on the bony cot and cried until my tear ducts ran dry. I had never realized how precious freedom was until it was wrenched away from me. As I lay there envisioning myself locked away in jail for the rest of my life, with all my hopes and dreams washed down the drain, normalcy suddenly looked like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow of tears.
The next morning, we were released from our cells long enough to hire a lawyer and call my boyfriend's uncle, who graciously agreed to wire us money to cover the fee. Then we appeared, trembling and weeping, before the judge, who miraculously took pity on us and let us go with just a stern lecture. Since we were heavily in debt for legal costs, we hightailed it back to Florida and got jobs.
I never again dabbled in illegal substances, and I gave up my penchant for shoplifting, vowing that I would avoid even the tiniest brush with the law. Before long, I started looking for a nice man with whom I could settle down and live a happy life.
I married that man when I was 35, and today I am so ordinary that I could easily sit down to tea with Mrs. Cleaver and not miss a beat. Mornings I eat a sensible breakfast, then head to my part-time job at the library, where I pause for a mid-morning cup of tea. Afternoons I hunker down at my home computer to write. Evenings find me doing the crossword puzzle and heading to bed early.
If my younger self could see me now, she'd no doubt run screaming from the room. I have become the person she feared, an ordinary, day-to-day lady who carries a big, comfy purse in which I stash goodies for my goddaughter. I get a kick out of attending baby showers, especially when the guest of honor holds up a miniscule garment and all the women go oooh in tandem. I appreciate a decent piece of Tupperware.
If I could have a word with that younger version of my self, I would tell her that, in the midst of my humdrum life, there breathes a deep sigh of contentment. I am well aware that the future may hold more adventures and extraordinary times, perhaps illnesses, tearful vigils and desperate rounds of prayers. But for now, I am a big fan of the same old, same old. I've had my fill of adventures. And each night I thank God for another ordinary day.

My own feelings were somewhat dampened by two factors. One, the search sector where the Emily was most likely to be found had been assigned to crews from another squadron, YB-119. This irritated me greatly because my squadron—and particularly my own crew—was far more combat-experienced than YB-119. We were approaching the end of our combat tour, whereas YB-119 was still in the early stage of theirs. However, the wing commander's assignments were correct, since the YB-119 crews were flying PB4Y-2s—newer, faster, and more heavily armed that the PB4Y-1s we flew.
My second nagging feeling was apprehension about the return portion of the patrol, which would be conducted in the dark, adding to the operational hazards of flying in the forward areas.
We left Clark Field at 0915. Our sector was up the eastern side of Formosa, between Formosa and Sakishima Gunto into the East China Sea, then southward along the China coast. Along with searching for the Emily, we were also looking for Japanese shipping, aircraft,and any targets of opportunity. I recall that after passing Formosa and descending through the clouds, this was one of the rare times we collected a little ice on the airplane. We proceeded in towards the coast of China just above the water. This was our best tactic, both offensively and defensively, when deep in enemy territory. From this altitude we could both fend off fighter planes and attack shipping. However, there was a fog bank lying on the water and I could go in to the coastline only so far. I was then concerned about running into a hill or mountain, as my forward visibility was virtually nil. We then turned to the southwest and proceeded down the coast.
This portion of the patrol was flown about 100 feet above the water and about three to five miles offshore. We were enjoying a relatively strong tail wind when, about 150 miles southwest of Hangchow Bay, I sighted a Japanese freighter leaving a harbor. Further out to sea I could see a Japanese destroyer that appeared to be conducting antisubmarine patrol. I judged her far enough away to be just outside effective gun range. I immediately applied full power and started running in on the freighter for a mast head bombing attack. The Japanese destroyer opened fire on us, but was ineffective.
As we closed in on the freighter, my bow and top turrets opened fire. The muzzles of the top turret guns, twin .50-calibers, were just over my head. The muzzle blasts nearly drove me out of the cockpit—the noise was deafening. Our gunners did a great job; every tracer appeared to be a hit. More importantly, we caught the ship by surprise and there was no return fire. With the engines set at 45 inches of manifold pressure and 2,500 rpms, and assisted by a tail wind, our attack speed was about 235 knots. Just after the bombs had been released and I had pulled up, I could see the explosions on the ship by laying my head up in the bubble side window.
With the destroyer still out of gun range, I circled back, flew upwind,and came in for a high-speed strafing pass and to ensure that we got a good photograph. The ship was burning and had made a 1800 turn. As we passed by the freighter, I observed crewmen jumping over the side. The next day,one of our planes patrolling the area found conclusive evidence that this freighter had been sunk, and we were credited with the kill. The ship was identified as the 3,000-ton Koshu .
Shortly after pulling up from this second strafing run, we sighted two Japanese Jakes. The reconnaissance floatplanes were slightly above and on an opposite course from us, in a right-echelon formation. They apparently did not see us, so staying low on the water, I turned and pulled up to join in as number-three man in their formation. I'd done it before when I was sure that I had surprise—I'd fly in a position behind and slightly to the right of an enemy plane. My gunners were not permitted to fire until we were at point-blank range, thereby ensuring a kill.
As we slid into the number-three slot we were nearly lapping wings. I was impressed with the sleekness and, as with most Japanese aircraft, the very smooth finish. I noted that the aircraft was equipped with radar. It had the "clothes-line" antenna wiring all around the fuselage and wings.
As we took our place beside plane number two, the Jake's rear seat man performed the classic double take: he glanced over at us, turned back to face aft, and then quickly looked at us again. He made no attempt to use his 20-millimeter gun. At that time we opened fire and very quickly the Jake started dropping. We followed him down and observed him crashing into the water.
So far it had been a good day. My thought then was to take on the other plane, but the pilot had used his head and taken off for his destroyer for protection. American pilots had a healthy respect for Japanese destroyers. Their gunnery was excellent, and we rarely caught them by surprise. We therefore turned southward and resumed patrol.
About a half hour after the attack on the Jake, still travelling low on the water along the China coast, I looked up and there, 3 ,000-4,000 feet up and five to eight miles ahead, was the prize of the day-the Japanese Emily. This particular aircraft was a "fat cat;" that is, our intelligence had advised that some of the guns had been removed—and, I assumed, some of the armor—to cut down on weight and assure room for the officials and their baggage.
Immediately upon sighting, I put on full power and told my crew to stand by to attack. My first thought was to pull directly head on into the plane for no-deflection shooting. That's what I should have done. However, I discarded that idea and decided to climb in on a beam attack and, hoping to stay with my prey, to ensure bringing it down. We began a climbing approach, thankful they had not yet seen us.
I made a zoom-climbing 1800 turn into the aircraft at point-blank range. We opened fire and both the top and bow turrets were shooting well. There were numerous tracer flashes, indicating hits, on the deep fuselage. I made another mistake here, by not directing my gunners to shoot out an engine. This would have slowed the Emily sufficiently to ensure a kill. With the zoom climb and turn, a loss of airspeed resulted and temporarily stalled my plane. The altitude difference was more than I could make and still maintain flying speed.
We recovered from the stall, and the Emily was seen flying north—slowly descending, but apparently still in flying condition. We pursued, but were only gaining slowly. My copilot asked me how far I intended to chase; I was alleged to have replied, "All the way to Tokyo, if necessary!"
His query reminded me that we were at the end of our patrol sector and had used a good deal of fuel in our full power settings. I continued to chase for approximately 15-20 minutes, until I sighted the tidal mud flats south of Haimen and Tai-cho Bay. It was then a question of whether to break off the attack and head home, or continue the chase and face the certainty of running out of fuel and ditching at night. With a very sick feeling and great reluctance, I broke off the chase and set course for Clark Field. The joy from sinking the freighter and shooting down the Jake was dulled. I felt I had missed the chance of a lifetime.
Our homeward trip was uneventful, except for apprehension about insufficient fuel and finding the airstrip at night without navigational aids. Thanks to a very strong tail wind, we arrived back at Clark at 2239 with sufficient fuel remaining.
Two days later, while having lunch in the mess hall, I noticed the wing commander, Captain Carroll B. Jones, engaged in gleeful conversation with his staff; they were laughing and patting one another on the back. He waved me over, and I could hardly believe my ears when he said, "You got him! The information we have is that the admiral went down." I returned to my table and informed my two copilots. Later I appealed to a friend who was an air intelligence officer and managed to get a few more details.

The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating
Published by Ecco
We made a version of this recently at St. John, and it was so surprising and good that even though it is an old classic I thought I should include this version. I hope that no one will take offense if it seems to break with hundreds of years of cock-a-leekie culture. This is more than a soup; in fact it would happily pass as a meal in itself.
Cooking Methodpoaching
Total Timea day or more
OccasionCasual Dinner Party
Recipe Coursehot appetizer, main course
Dietary Considerationkosher
Taste and Textureherby, meaty, salty, sweet
Type of Dishhot soup
- 2 to 2¼ pounds brined beef brisket (brined for 10 to 12 days, or corned beef brisket from the butcher)
- 2 onions, peeled and chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled
- 2 leeks, cleaned and chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 10 black peppercorns
- A bundle of thyme and curly parsley tied together
- 1 free-range chicken, or capon' if available (slit the skin where the legs meet the body)
- 2 onions, peeled
- 2 leeks, cleaned
- 2 stalks of celery
- 2 bay leaves
- 10 black peppercorns
- A bundle of thyme
- A few sprigs of curly parsley
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 5 leeks, cleaned and sliced across
- The smallest dash of duck fat or olive oil
- 24 prunes with their pits (preferably Agen prunes from France, if you can find them)
Place the brisket and its accompanying vegetables and herbs in a pan and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then straightaway reduce to a very gentle simmer, skimming constantly. This should take about 2½ hours to cook, but always check with a knife how giving the meat is. Allow the beef to cool in the broth.
Place the chicken in a pan with its team of vegetables and herbs, bring to a boil, then place a lid on the pan and remove from the heat. Allow to cool in the stock. This will make for a moist chicken, necessary as it is to be cooked again.
Remove the beef and chicken from their stocks and cut into pieces, not too small but just so it's possible to eat them with a spoon. Strain both stocks, then add the beef stock to the chicken stock to taste. Remember, the beef stock will be quite salty, so be cautious—it may not take much. (A slight salt undertone is a good thing, though, as it plays very well with the sweet prunes we shall add at the end.)
Now, in a pan large enough to construct your soup, sweat your sliced leeks in the duck fat or olive oil for about 8 minutes, so as to bring out their sweet leeky nature, but not to lose their crunch. Pour in the stock. Add the chopped chicken and beef, bring to a gentle simmer, and let the meat heat through thoroughly. Three minutes before serving add the prunes, just giving them time to puff up. Don't pit the prunes.
Serve in big bowls with much bread at hand. Warn your guests about the pits.

Small Cool 2009: Jorge & Craig's Collection
Who Lives Here: Jorge & Craig
Location: Upper East Side, New York City
Size: 447 square feet
What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home? Craig and I love collecting art and vintage furniture. We like hunting for fun and quirky pieces, and have filled our space with some great finds. The vintage art academy "Botero" (ie. faux-tero) painting above the 1970's lime green sideboard; the Jessica Craig-Martin photograph above the bed; the antique zebra-print Louis XVI chair in the living space- these are some of the first things we put in our space, and definetely reflect our not-too-serious personalities. Of course, living in a small space often means that any time you want to add something new, you have to sacrifice something old. We've found this mandatory process of constant curating has forced us to invest in only those things that we really love.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? While Craig and I like the intimacy of our small apartment, we also love entertaining and sharing our place with friends. It was a challenge outfitting a space that was practical for two people, but could also serve a party of twelve. For example, we knew we wanted to fit in a dining table for four, and have a lot of comfortable seating for visiting friends. We definitely needed to fit a lot in, while keeping the space feeling open, not claustrophobic. We found our solution in light furniture (chairs instead of a big sectional sofa, for example) that can easily be moved around for different occasions.
As artists, Craig and I also needed lots of storage space for canvases, sculpture materials, etc. However, we didn't want any of these things to be seen. Our solution: "hiding" our things in every available nook and cranny. We have supplies everywhere — in closets, under the bed, behind the mirrored folding screen and window curtains, even in our kitchen cabinets. We've found that sometimes, those creative little "tricks" you learn as a kid cleaning your room are the best and simplest solutions.

In the Yard
If you know that your indoor cat has escaped into your yard or the immediate area around your home, act quickly. Head outside with a bag of treats or a can of cat food. Do this quietly; clapping or shouting your cat's name may only frighten them further and could cause them to dart away. It's likely that your cat is hiding nearby, so calmly stand still in your yard and shake the treat bag or open the can of food. If your cat doesn't come back shortly, be patient. Try again shortly after midnight, as many cats are likely to come out under cover of darkness in the early morning hours.
Hit the Pavement
Create fliers for your lost cat, complete with a recent photograph. Head around town and staple the fliers to telephone poles. Ask permission to post fliers at your local grocery stores, the post office, small businesses, restaurants, etc. You can also ask mailmen, paper delivery boys, and other folks who walk through the neighborhood if they've seen any sign of your lost pet.
Spread the Word
Call veterinarian's offices and animal shelters in your area and let them know your cat has escaped, and check to see if they will allow you to hang a flier in their offices. Often, lost cats will be dropped off at these locations. You can also try placing a notice in the lost-and-found section of your local newspaper offering a reward for your cat's return.
Prevention Tips
Of course, it's best to prevent a lost cat in the first place if you can. Make sure Fluffy is microchipped and wears up-to-date ID tags. Pay attention when you leave home or return so that your cat doesn't have a chance to slip outside.
A final tip: be patient. Runaway cats have been known to return home all by themselves days, weeks, or even months after the fact!
Would you like further advice on what to do if your pet gets lost? We're here to help—call today.

Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim was represented by Jan Kux for the tasting in Oslo on 25th of April 2006. Heyl zu Herrnsheim is situated in Nierstein in Rheinhessen and is a producer that has been making ecological wines for 30 years. Recently they have also started experimenting with biodynamics. The estate makes mostly wines from riesling (80%) and most of it (80% of the vineyards) is placed in the area known as the roter hang between Nierstein and Nackenheim. This soil is made up of red slate which is quite rich in iron. The tasting would focus on two vineyards from this area; the Pettenthal and the smaller monopoly of Brudersberg. While the Pettenthal is facing east-south, the Brudersberg is more directly south-facing with much longer sun-days and warmth.
The wines we taste were:
Flight 1
1.Baron Heyl Estate riesling 2004
2.Baron Heyl riesling spätlese 2002
The estate riesling was aromatic, fresh and uncomplicated dry riesling.With some earthiness and a slight rusticity in it. I would drink it young. The spätlese was a little sweeter and with som more elegance especially on the nose and a touch of maturity. Still quite a simple wine with a little earthiness in the fruit. Both quite fair wines for their price.
Flight 2
3.Rotschiefer riesling 2004
4.Rotschiefer riesling 2002
5.Rotschiefer riesling 2001
The rotschiefer is a dry riesling (alc. 12-12,5%) that selects grapes from the roter hang. There is quite a step up in mineral intensity from flight 1. Quite typical wines of red slate and shows earthy notes beside the slate-notes. Medium bodied and again the slightly rustic fell in the mouth. The 2002 had an added weight, complexity and concentration compared to the 2004 and was the superior wine in the flight. Perhaps the 2001 is the better wine, but it was darn closed at this tasting. Quite promising nose with some honey and flowers. It is structured in the mouth, but did not gave a thing. Judgement reserved for this wine.
Flight 3
6.Niersteiner Pettenthal Grosses Gewächs 2004
7.Niersteiner Pettenthal Grosses Gewächs 2001
8.Niersteiner Brudersberg Grosses Gewächs 2004
9.Niersteiner Brudersberg Grosses Gewächs 1997
These were dry rieslings labelled as Grosses gewächs. The Pettenthal 2004 was a slim and mineral-focused wine, showing slate and less earth. Young,dry, mineral and slim in the mouth. A touch spritzy and good acids. This was very nice, although not the most concentrated wine. The 2001 showed a lot of sulphur on the nose. A touch of petrol Shows more concentration and a great structure in the mouth. But the sulphur is too much. Give it time, hope for better days. The Brudersberg is a small vineyard just where the Pettenthal ends and turns south-facing. It is a monopoly of Heyl zu Herrnsheim. The 2004 shows a riper style of riesling than the Pettenthal. Much more fruit in the nose, flowers and some slate. In the mouth it is fuller, with more fruit and less structure. IMO less interesting than the Pettenthal. The 1997 had evolved a very nice nose. Complex and with petrol, floral and a good depth. It is a bit heavy styled in the mouth with lower acidity which makes it a bit short.
Flight 4
10.Niersteiner Pettenthal riesling spätlese halbtrocken 1999
11.Niersteiner Brudersberg riesling spätlese 2004
12.Niersteiner Brudersberg riesling spätlese 1992
So we moved on to wines with some rs. The 1999 Pettenthal spätlese had a very fine nose. Slightly honeyed, flowery, a touch botrytis, and earth and slate. It was full-bodied and a halbtrocken on the drier side. It was a quite structured 1999 with fine acids and elegance. A very fine wine. The 2004 Brudersberg showed a young and quite sweet and flowery nose. Some pear and slate. Medium bodied and sweet, a little heavy, in the mouth. A little too much rs right now. Needs time. Medium concentration and no great spätlese. The Brudersberg spätlese 1992 proved again that the wines from thsi site with time develops a very fine nose. This quite intence, petrol, earth and fine flowers and depth. Full-bodied and not very sweet in the mouth. Decent structured.

The Pettenthal auslese 1999 was a very good wine. It was quite honeyed and sweet with some flowers and slate on the nose. Round and sweet in the mouth, but with a very fine acidity for a 99 and quite elegant. My wine of the day. Seems like Heyl zu Herrnsheim made som nice wines in 99. The 98 was unfortunately marred by sulphur and a green flowery (geraniums) nose. The same in the mouth. Strucutre on the heavy side. Hope for better times. The 89 had a fine nose og honey, slate, flowers (not too sweet). Fine depth. In the mouth it was a typical 89 in the quite heavy style and a little too much obvious rs. A touch higher acids would have helped. But good length and concentration.

16.Niersteiner Pettenthal riesling Beerenauslese 2000
The golden coloured BA had a fruity nose with hints of honey, flowers and citrus. It is medium bodied (for a BA) with just a touch fat. Not the most concentrated, but with a fine balance, quite refresheing and shows no rot, which was so present in this vintage, but is clean and precise. Good, more than great.
Overall I was a little underwhelmed by the wines. No doubt there is some good wines here, but there is both a little lack in consistency and it seems that the roter hang has it's limitations when it comes to quality. The rusticity was in some degree present in most of the wines. Of the two vineyards I seemed to prefer the Pettenthal, which was more mineral-focused and often showed a better structure. But the two older Brudersberg both had developed fine complexity on the nose. On vintages the two 99's where very fine. The 2004 seemed typical, decent with a little lack of concentration.

Competitive Beckham pushing to new heights
ST. PETERSBURG -- Carrying a robust .336 average into Sunday's series finale against the Rays, Gordon Beckham uses one word to define how he's feeling as a baseball player.
And that word is competitive.View Full Game Coverage
ST. PETERSBURG -- Carrying a robust .336 average into Sunday's series finale against the Rays, Gordon Beckham uses one word to define how he's feeling as a baseball player.
And that word is competitive.View Full Game Coverage
"That's what you want to feel," Beckham said. "You want to have an idea of what [the pitcher] is doing and an idea of what you would do well off of him and just go compete. It's the end all, be all. You got to try to compete."
Beckham has done more than compete during the 2013 season, giving the White Sox consistent production from the bottom of the order over 37 games. A fractured hamate bone in his left hand has been the only thing able to slow down Beckham, who has used all parts of the field to find offensive consistency.
This success is not surprising to the 26-year-old already playing in his fifth big league season. Beckham primed himself for this latest breakthrough at the end of the 2012 campaign.
"I feel like I turned the corner in terms of, 'Let's go play baseball.' I know what I'm trying to do," Beckham said. "I've been here long enough to understand what you go through and the highs and the lows. So I'm trying to manage those as good as I can.
"It's a lot easier to do obviously with the success, but the successes come because of the way I've handled it internally. So, you know, yeah, it's a good thing. I'm just in a good spot. Mentally, physically, everything, I just feel good. I feel like I'm not in constant scramble mode going into a game and just not knowing that I've got it."
Playing shortstop in reserve emerged as a new responsibility for one of the American League's top fielding second basemen. Beckham moved across the middle infield for two innings of Friday's loss, giving regular shortstop Alexei Ramirez his first two innings off this year.
Aside from not getting any ground balls, Beckham enjoyed the action and made a routine play on a Kelly Johnson popup to end the eighth. Beckham already moved from third to second following his 2009 rookie year and understands that the White Sox possess a top-notch shortstop in Ramirez.
If the situation dictated another position switch sometime in the future, the one-time shortstop at Georgia doesn't seem bothered by the possibility.
"You know what, I think that I could do it. I think I would be solid," Beckham said. "I'm not going to be the guy that goes out there and makes spectacular play after spectacular play. I don't know what that means, if that's good. I feel like it's a possibility. But I don't know if it's my first choice.
"Second base is my best position. But you know, no, it wouldn't bother me. I want to play, so if that's where I need to play to play, then that's where I'll play. Growing up, I always wanted to be a big league shortstop. So you think about finally getting over there. It was worth the wait I guess."

Land Rover Debuts Range Rover Evoque Autobiography Dynamic at Geneva
Pint-Size Personalization
When Range Rover unveiled its exclusive Autobiography editions for 2013, it represented the new pinnacle of personalization and exclusivity for the already-exclusive brand. At first offered only on the flagship Range Rover and long-wheelbase models, the trim then migrated down to the Range Rover Sport model for 2014. Now, the smallest member of the clan gets its own bespoke treatment in the form of the 2015 Range Rover Evoque Autobiography Dynamic.
Making its worldwide debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the Evoque Autobiography Dynamic brings both trim and performance upgrades to Land Rover's fashion-forward compact crossover. Like the rest of the 2014 Evoque line, the Autobiography Dynamic gets a nine-speed ZF automatic. The Evoque's 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine gets a power bump from 240 to 281 hp, and torque gets a boost from 250 to 295 lb-ft.
The active driveline on-demand all-wheel-drive system optional on other Evoque models is standard on the Autobiography Dynamic and is part of an upgraded suspension and handling package that includes sport-tuned steering, firmer springs, and recalibrated active dampers. The front discs are also upgraded to beefy 13.8-inch binders, complemented by Torque Vectoring by Braking, designed to improve handling and reduce understeer.
The outside of the Autobiography Dynamic is distinguished by 20-inch forged alloy wheels, Autobiography "ingot" tailgate badging, a unique grille design and new lower front valence. Distinguishing the Dynamic-series Evoques is an available Phoenix Orange paint color.
The Autobiography Dynamic also marks the debut of Land Rover's new InControl Apps system, which mirrors smartphone apps on the center display. The system does require a physical USB connection, however. Other interior upgrades include Autobiography embossing on the headrests, illuminated door sill plates, and six available color palettes and four seating area colors.

Police find body in North End
Police have found the body of Sammie Lee Hightower III, a 32-year-old Beaumont man who was reported missing by police, near the intersection of Prince and Quinn streets in Beaumont's North End.
According to a Beaumont Police Department press release, police found Hightower at 11:26 a.m. Thursday, May 30, some 100 feet from his residence and are investigating the death as a homicide.
Kayla Johnson, who lives next door to Hightower's residence, said she befriended him six months ago when she moved in to her apartment on Prince Street.
She said Hightower was "a good person" and she was shocked at his untimely death.
Johnson went on to say police had been called to the home about midnight the previous night, and fights were common between Hightower and the mother of his children.
"She'd just come over here with drama every day," Johnson said.
Overhearing their fights often, Johnson said she thought late Wednesday night was just another fight — until Hightower's girlfriend made an ominous threat.
"'I'm gonna get somebody to jack you and kill you,'" Johnson said she overheard. "'Jack' and 'kill.' She said it before she left."
Some three hours later, Johnson said masked gunman entered the home and soon after, Hightower was dead.
Police are still investigating the case, and a suspect has not been named, but Johnson said at least three people including Hightower were inside, one of which told Johnson four gunmen surprised them about 3 a.m.
"If his child's mother didn't have nothin' to do with it, she should've watched her words instead of saying that," Johnson said.

Jimbo and Lorraine Harrell
Rallying around the UNC Lineberger Team
Jimbo and Lorraine Harrell of Charlotte, N.C. joined the UNC Lineberger Board of Visitors in 2011 but they hit the ground running.
Jimbo says, "When I first toured the cancer center I was simply overwhelmed and impressed by the mission, the facilities, by UNC Lineberger's accomplishments, by the resources they bring to the table in research, clinical trials, treatment and prevention, and through their collaborative strategy. Lorraine and I believe UNC Lineberger is the perfect team for us to rally our support around in the fight against cancer."
Jimbo explains, "We want to reach out and develop relationships within our region to build support for the cutting edge research being performed at UNC Lineberger. We can help by being ambassadors and promoting awareness around the cancer center's mission, and encourage participation in this area of North Carolina."
They recently made a planned gift. Lorraine says, "Cancer has had an impact on our families. I lost both my parents to the disease."
Jimbo adds, "Cancer is an intergenerational battle. With this planned gift to UNC Lineberger, we can signal to our family the importance of making a long term commitment."
"At first it was a little intimidating, but the UNC Lineberger team helped make the planned giving process easy," Jimbo says. "The paperwork provided to us was thorough and contained enough information to fully understand the process and how to introduce the proper language into our will. It allowed us to easily hand it off to our advisors and our attorney."
The Harrells conclude, "We encourage people to seriously consider making a planned gift. The statistics tells us that cancer is going to affect one out of two men and one out of three women. If it hasn't already impacted you and your family, your friends and neighbors, it likely will in the future. We are passionate about what UNC Lineberger is doing for the state of North Carolina. The best way to win this battle is to step up and join the effort."

T-Wolves Reach Agreement With Stiemsma; Win Summer League Game
The Timberwolves have reached a contract agreement with 6'11 restricted free agent center Greg Stiemsma. The Boston Celtics are not expected to match the offer because they are salary cap strapped. Stiemsma averaged 2.9 points and 3.2 rebounds in 55 games for the Celtics in 2011-2012. Stiemsma is expected to be the backup center to Nikola Pekovic this season for the Wolves.
Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations David Kahn has acknowledged agreements with unrestricted free agent guards Brandon Roy and Alexey Shved.
The Timberwolves defeated Memphis 97-91 in their final summer league game in Las Vegas. Mike Harris led the Wolves with 22 points and Kammron Taylor added 15 points for Minnesota. The Wolves were 4-1 in summer league games.

Facebook Isn't Suing Employers Who Ask for Your Password ... Yet
Facebook took a strong stance against employers who request account passwords from potential employees on Friday, saying it would "take action to protect the privacy and security of our users, whether by engaging policy makers or, where appropriate, by initiating legal action."
Now the social network seems to be softening its stance. In a clarifying message sent to reporters, a Facebook spokesperson issued this statement:
We don't think employers should be asking prospective employees to provide their passwords because we don't think it's right the thing to do. While we do not have any immediate plans to take legal action against any specific employers, we look forward to engaging with policy makers and other stakeholders, to help better safeguard the privacy of our users.
The company's original announcement, penned by the company's chief privacy officer Erin Egan, inspired headlines such as "Facebook Threatens Legal Action Against Employers Asking for Passwords." The follow-up statement casts this threat further into the future.
An Associated Press report last week revealed that some employers have asked potential employees to hand over usernames and passwords to social media accounts. The practice was prevalent enough to have inspired proposed legislation in Illinois and Maryland that would forbid public agencies from asking for such information.
Since the report was published, two U.S. senators have asked the Attorney General to investigate whether requesting Facebook passwords during job interviews violates federal law. One of those Senators, Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) plans to introduce a bill that would prevent companies from snooping on employees' social media profiles, and California State Senator Leland Yee announced he would introduce a similar bill in California's senate.
Have you ever been asked for social media account information during an interview? How did you handle it? Let us know in the comments.

Calling it the hardest decision he's had to make as a coach, John Harbaugh fired Cam Cameron on Monday, ending the offensive coordinator's five-season tenure which was defined by some improvement but overall inconsistency.
Jim Caldwell, the Ravens' quarterbacks coach and the former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, will take over offensive coordinator and play-calling duties immediately.
The somewhat surprising move — given the Ravens' first-place standing in the AFC North at 9-4 and the organization's history of not making rash decisions — came a day after the Ravens' 31-28 overtime loss to the Washington Redskins. Quarterback Joe Flacco threw three first-half touchdowns and the running game wracked up 186 yards, but two third-quarter turnovers and a failure to take advantage of good field position contributed to the team's second consecutive loss.
"We put 28 points up so you're not going to say that it's a reaction to a down offensive performance," said Harbaugh in a news conference that was both awkward and tense at times. "It would be real easy to go the route that says, 'It's the result of something and somebody is taking the blame for something.' It is not that. People are going to believe what they want to believe. It's what I believe is best going forward for our offense and for our football team. Cam was doing a heck of a job here. He did a heck of a job here for a long time. I believe that and I also believe that right now at this time, the timing says that this is the best thing and this is what we're going to do."
Harbaugh, in his fifth season as Ravens head coach, declined to say what owner Steve Bisciotti's level of involvement was in the move, calling it "a coaching decision, my decision." He also said that Flacco was not consulted. The fifth-year quarterback had a lukewarm relationship with Cameron and in an interview with The Baltimore Sun last week, Flacco admitted his frustration with the team moving away from the no-huddle offense that was successful earlier in the season. Several players also have been critical of how vanilla the Ravens' offense had become.
Harbaugh, who has long stood by the offensive coordinator amid tremendous criticism from the fan base, informed Cameron of the decision Monday morning. Cameron left the team facility after hearing the news and did not respond to a request for comment.
The head coach then met with Caldwell and Flacco before telling the rest of the team at an afternoon meeting at the Under Armour Performance Facility.
Under Cameron, who hired Harbaugh as an assistant in 1997 when he was the head coach at Indiana, the Ravens never ranked higher than ninth in points per game or 13th in yards per game. Through 13 games this season, the offense, which appeared poised for a breakout season with an explosive start, ranks ninth in points per game (25.5) and 18th in yards per game (344.4).
However, Cameron, who was given a contract extension this past season, was ultimately doomed by a lack of significant progression from Flacco and his failure to establish Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice in several games over the past couple of seasons. Rice's touches have decreased in each of the past three seasons and he's currently on pace to have his fewest carries since 2009.
According to sources, Cameron and Harbaugh also were involved in a heated exchange on the sidelines that carried over to the locker room after Sunday's loss. The exchange, said the sources, was over how the Ravens handled their final possession before halftime and how Flacco was being protected in the second half. Harbaugh denied that any such exchange took place though he did acknowledge that the decision was made following Sunday's game.
"It's just an opportunity to try to get this thing going and become the best offense and the best team we can be, and we feel like it's what is best for the team at this time ," Harbaugh said. "That's why we made the move. There's no more to it than that."
Harbaugh admitted that he considered whether the move would be a distraction at this juncture of the season but he ultimately felt that "it will be positive but it will be up to all of us to make it that way. The solutions are right here in the room to improving and our job is to improve."
Still, several people with ties to the organization, including former wide receiver Derrick Mason, expressed surprise with the timing of the move. Former Ravens coach Brian Billick fired his offensive coordinator, Jim Fassell, during the 2006 season but that decision was made in mid-October and with the Ravens ranked 28th in total offense.
"I think this has been kind of brewing. There's been no secret that each year, there's speculation of Cam being replaced," Mason said. "I'm more surprised that this happened with three games left and your defense isn't what it used to be because of injuries. The only stable thing that you had was your offense being healthy and playing together. [But] Mr. Bisciotti is a great owner, a smart guy. He understands what he's doing. He has enough leaders on that offensive side of the ball that changing won't make a huge difference."
While Caldwell meshed well with Peyton Manning, first as his quarterbacks coach and then as his head coach, he hasn't called plays in the pros. However, he's developed a good rapport with Flacco and like his quarterback, he's known as an advocate for the no-huddle offense.
It's unclear what changes that Caldwell will make but it's ironic that the first glimpse of his play-calling will come against Manning's Broncos on Sunday. Manning recommended Caldwell to the Ravens in the offseason.
"It's not a system change," said Caldwell who will remain the Ravens' quarterbacks coach. "Obviously, the Ravens' offense is the Ravens' offense. It is not a philosophical change. John sets the philosophy here of this team and we follow suit. We have a bunch of willing young men that are certainly going to do a tremendous job of trying to push us forward."

Mini boules w/poolish
I've never yet made a poolish bread, and wanted to try it, so here was my first one. 20% of the flour was the poolish w/baker's yeast (0.2%) at 100% hydration (fermented appx 10 hours). 57% of the flour was a cold flour soaker at 80% hydration in parallel while the poolish was fermenting. Final dough hydration was 66%. All flour was KA AP flour. (I did not cold retard the dough, or make a mash for this bread).
I wasn't expecting much, so I took the opportunity to practice slashing - mainly speed of slashing. I sort of went to town on a couple of these, just randomly slashing it all over. :)
The bread actually tastes much better than I thought it would. Had a bit of a time buttering it... the melting butter just formed pools inside of the holes.
Needs some finesse, but here are pics:
Happy baking!

Bullishness from retail investors eased a bit at the end of January, following the best start to a year for the Dow Jones Industrial Average since 1994, according to a new sentiment index from TD Ameritrade.
The Investor Movement Index, which tracks the actual behavior of the largest pool of retail investors, showed that they rotated into defensive, lower-risk names as the Dow pushed toward 14,000 and its all-time high of 14,164.
"Overall, they are still net buyers, but net buyers of things that are less volatile," said Steve Quirk, senior vice president of TD Ameritrade's Trader Group. "Which is exactly what we thought our traders should be doing."
TD Ameritrade argues that this index, which it rolled out this year, will show that retail trader is not the "dumb money" that many on Wall Street have been known to call it. Quirk also believes it will be a more realistic measure than the many sentiment surveys out there as people often say one thing in a survey while doing another.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Before the SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Administrative Proceeding
File No. 3-10346
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate in the public interest and for the protection of investors that public administrative proceedings be instituted against Victor M. Wang ("Wang"), pursuant to Sections 15(b)(6) and 19(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").
In anticipation of the institution of these administrative proceedings, Wang has submitted an Offer of Settlement of Victor M. Wang ("Offer") which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings, and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission or in which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings set forth herein, except as to the Commission's jurisdiction over him, and the findings set forth in Paragraph III.A below, and the entry of the injunction set forth in Paragraph III.B. below, which are admitted, Wang consents to the entry of this Order Instituting Proceedings, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions Pursuant to Sections 15(b)(6) and 19(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Order") and to the entry of the findings and imposition of the remedial sanctions set forth below.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted against Wang pursuant to Sections 15(b)(6) and 19(h) of the Exchange Act.
On the basis of this Order and Wang's Offer, the Commission finds that:
A. From August 1993 through April 1998, Wang was associated with Duke and Company, Inc. ("Duke"), a broker-dealer registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act;
B. Wang was permanently enjoined on September 29, 2000 by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, in an action captioned Securities and Exchange Commission v. Victor Wang, et. al., Civ. 99-4917 (JG) ("Injunctive Action"), from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Sections 101 and 102 of Regulation M; and from aiding and abetting any future violations of Sections 10(b) and 15(c) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-3 and 15c1-2 promulgated thereunder; and
C. In the injunctive action described in Paragraph III.B above, the Commission's complaint ("Complaint") alleged, inter alia, that between May 1996 and June 1996, Wang and three other defendants, who were principals and owners of Duke defrauded the investing public by manipulating the immediate after-market of the initial public offering ("IPO") of the securities of Paravant Computer Systems, Inc. ("Paravant"). According to the Complaint, Wang and the three other defendants artificially restricted the supply of Paravant common securities and fraudulently created significant demand for Paravant securities in the immediate aftermarket of Paravant's IPO. The Complaint also alleged that Wang allocated a large percentage of Paravant securities issued to controlled customer accounts on the condition that these controlled accounts would immediately resell these securities back to Duke after the commencement of trading following the IPO. The Complaint further alleged that Duke's registered representatives pre-solicited aftermarket purchases for Paravant common stock and warrants before Duke had completed its participation in the Paravant IPO. The Complaint further alleged that Duke repurchased the Paravant securities from the controlled accounts and sold them to Duke's customers at artificially inflated prices following the commencement of aftermarket trading.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate in the public interest and for the protection of investors to impose the sanctions specified in Wang's Offer, and
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Wang be, and hereby is, barred from association with any broker or dealer.By the Commission.

Richard McWilliam, hailed for revolutionizing the trading card and sports memorabilia industry as a co-founder and chief executive officer of Carlsbad-based Upper Deck Co., has died. He was 59.
McWilliam died Saturday at his home in Rancho Santa Fe. While no cause of death has been announced, the company noted that McWilliam had a history of heart disease and had undergone heart surgery in 2008.
McWilliam co-founded Upper Deck in 1989 and immediately set about challenging the leaders of an industry whose origins date to the late 19th century, when cards with pictures of baseball players were sold in packs of chewing tobacco.
Starting with the company's initial set of baseball cards, Upper Deck used higher-grade paper stock, better photographs and sharper, more eye-catching graphics than its competitors. It also charged more for its cards, upgrading the sense of cards as something to treasure.

Kickin off this sketchbook finally.
Hello all! Most of what I draw involves creatures. However, I am working to broaden my skill set and will be searching for help once I've moved. My biggest weaknesses are humans, color, lighting, and just about everything inorganic.
Thanks for dropping by.
Commence unfinished creature sketches!

If I need a visa for Brazil should I get it before or can I get it when I am in Puerto Iguazu?

|Problem Summary
|The Cisco Unified CCX Administration Utility fails due to data corruption.
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|The Cisco Unified CCX Admin Utility fails when there is data corruption in the bootstrap data store. Any process running on the node on which the Admin Utility is running and that has access to the bootstrap data store can cause data corruption. For example, the Admin Utility, the Cisco Unified CCX engine, CONFING API, and so on, many cause data corruption.
