package contents
Discover truly remarkable clarity with Sony's innovative new full frame DSLR that doubles as a world-class filmmaking camera. With the world's first Dual AF system10 and Translucent Mirror technology, you are no longer bound by limitations of the traditional DSLR. This massive leap forward delivers astounding 24MP resolution plus uncompressed, Full HD video recording?all wrapped in an ultra-light, magnesium alloy body.
24.3 MP 35 mm Full Frame Sensor
A whole new world of high-quality images are realized through the 24.3 MP effective 35 mm full-frame sensor, a normal sensor range of ISO 100 ? 32000, and a sophisticated balance of high resolving power, gradation and low noise.
Uncompressed HDMI Output
Easily record Full 1080 HD uncompressed clean-screen video files to external recording devices via an HDMI connection in 24p, 60p and 60i frame-rates.
Multi-frame NR
Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash. The camera captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six, it creates a single image with a reduction in noise equivalent to two additional steps of ISO sensitivity. Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600. (Recommended for still subjects.)
World?s first Dual AF system
The 19-point AF system with 11 cross sensors is complemented by a multi-point focal plane phase-detection AF sensor with 102 AF points that overlays the image sensor. Taking advantage of Translucent Mirror Technology that simultaneously directs light to the image sensor and AF sensor at all times.
New AF-D Mode
This highly advanced Continuous AF mode uses 19 AF points with reliable depth-direction focusing performance to steadfastly capture subjects and is strongly assisted by the 102-point multi-point focal-plane phase-detection AF sensor. It continues to accurately focus on the subject whether the subject is moving in depth or plane direction.
AF Range Control
Users can set the range of distance from the camera in which subjects can be focused on the AF system. By limiting the AF range, users can prevent unwanted focusing on foreground and background objects. This intelligent function enables reliable performance when photographing sports through wire mesh fences, for example.
Fast continuous shooting speeds
Highly responsive continuous shooting at approximately 6 frames per second (fps) is made possible by Translucent Mirror Technology and an enhanced Tracking Focus function offering more advanced acquisition and tracking performance. The Tele Zoom High Speed shooting mode shoots up to 8 fps at 10 MP while maintaining continuous auto focus and auto exposure.
Newly designed three-way tiltable LCD
The SLT-A99V is the first in the Alpha series to feature WhiteMagic technology, which nearly doubles the visibility of the 921k-dot Xtra Fine LCD monitor in sunny outdoor conditions. The three-way tilt-able mechanism, highly acclaimed on the A77, is further enhanced for even greater operational ease.
XGA OLED Viewfinder
There?s never been anything quite like the Tru-Finder OLED electronic viewfinder. For size, speed and brightness even after sunset, this is a gem. It begins with 2359K dots for amazing resolution and high contrast ratio for incredible depth. OLED reduces motion blur to a bare minimum. You can also see the results of camera adjustments in real time with superb color and detail.
World?s lightest Full-frame Sensor Camera
The SLT-A99V is the world?s lightest10 35 mm full-frame interchangeable-lens digital camera. It weighs only 733 grams (body only), thanks to features like Translucent Mirror Technology and high-rigidity magnesium alloy panels. Users will enjoy agile and flexible shooting despite the full-frame specifications.
Newly developed Quick Navi Pro
For heightened comfort and more intuitive operation, the SLT-A99V features an enhanced version of Quick Navi, which was highly acclaimed in the A900 and A700. Called Quick Navi Pro, this new feature allows users to immediately access all camera parameter settings. Photographers can therefore quickly change settings with just the right hand while shooting photos.
Dual Slot and Media Control Function
The SLT-A99V employs dual media slots. One of the slots supports SD Cards and the other supports both SD Cards and Memory Stick media. This dual slot system allows for simultaneous recording for backup purposes (with recordings sorted RAW/JPEG file type or still/movie data) as well as copying between media. Moreover it allows movie recording to two media cards simultaneously ? a world?s first (as of September 12, 2012)
Translucent Mirror Technology
Sony?s proprietary Translucent Mirror Technology simultaneously directs light to the image sensor and AF sensor at all times to realize Full-time Continuous AF that keeps the subject in sharp focus and even during continuous shooting and movie shooting. It also allows the high-precision electronic viewfinder to accurately display the results of camera setting adjustments in real time so the photographer can make sure the results match his or her creative intentions.
Highly rigid body with magnesium alloy outer panels
The highly robust and durable body meets the heavy-duty needs of advanced amateurs. Both the main outer body panels and interior chassis are constructed of lightweight yet rigid magnesium alloy. Moreover, the grip and front cover are structurally unified to achieve extremely high body rigidity.
Dust and moisture protection
Outer body and moisture countermeasures include the sealing and treatment of major operational buttons/dials and a convex/concave mating structure that tightly interlocks components. Controls also feature a durable structure that withstands the touch usage of advanced amateurs.
Approximate 200,000 shutter release durability
The newly developed, highly durable and reliable shutter unit has been proven to endure approximately 200,000 shutter releases. This durability ensures long-lasting shooting performance that takes into consideration the large number of photos shot by advanced amateurs.
Meticulously designed body compliments advanced users
While inheriting the popular design concept of the A77, the SLT-A99V enables comfortable photo shooting through meticulously designed features including improved grip thickness that enhances grasping ease, switch and button shapes that are differentiated for easier operation while keeping your eye on the viewfinder, an exposure mode dial lock that prevents unintended turning of the mode dial, etc.
Vertical Grip Capable
The optional VG-C99AM vertical grip designed exclusively for the SLT-A99V can house two batteries, bringing the total number of batteries (including the one in the camera) to three for significantly more hours of shooting (batteries sold separately).
PC Remote Camera Control
Enables users to remotely change various camera settings, switch still/ movie shooting on or off, and automatically transfer still images to enhance the efficiency of the studio photo shooting workflow.
New Multi-Interface Shoe
Unlike conventional cameras, the SLT-A99V also features a newly developed Multi-Interface Shoe that dramatically expands compatibility with Handycam accessories, thus raising the potential for photo/movie shooting (The included ADP-MAA shoe adapter maintains compatibility with conventional Alpha accessories as well).
New Flash/Video Light
The new optional accessory HVL-F60M flash with video light offers high output, Sony?s original Quick Shift Bounce mechanism, a new video light for movie shooting and improved operational interface.
New Wireless Commander Control
The new optional accessory RMT-DSLR2 Remote Commander for movie shooting that includes a dedicated movie record button.
Auto HDR built into camera
Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle?and more range than photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot. (Recommended for still subjects.)
Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter and sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together.
D-Range Optimizer
Improves results with backlit subjects and recovers details hidden in shadows. Settings include Auto, Level with a choice of five operating levels and Off.
Creative Styles
Control how the camera processes your images with 13 finishing styles: Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Clear, Deep, Light, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Autumn leaves, Black & White, Sepia. You can even fine-tune contrast, saturation, and sharpness to your personal taste.
1200-zone Evaluative Metering
Reads exposure directly from the main image sensor. Choice of Multi, Center and Spot metering accommodates a full range of shooting situations.
Built-in GPS
An integrated GPS receiver records the location and time of every shot you take and lets you view your images on a map with compatible computer and Internet applications, so you can remember where you took your favorite shots.11
Auto Portrait Framing
Simply photograph a person and Auto Portrait Framing will save an additional, optimally framed image in portrait or landscape orientation. Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technologies with rule of thirds, Auto Portrait Framing provides beautifully composed and appealingly balanced full resolution portraits.
Clear Image Zoom
Utilizing Sony?s exclusive By Pixel Super Resolution Technology, Clear Image Zoom increases the effective focal length of your lens up to 2x by digitally magnifying the center of your image with nearly imperceptible degradation that provides greater shooting flexibility.
Superior Auto
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. Unifies and simplifies Sony intelligent technologies, the camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Auto HDR technology and lower image noise using three-shot layering technology

You feel me, They call this that higher echelon of that rap, that higher, uhhh
That next level
[Verse 2: Lil B]
Getting money I'm hungry
Bitch I eat a nigga face

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has filed a criminal police report in Florida in an attempt to track down the person responsible for leaking his sex tape.
Editors at Gawker.com recently posted a 90-second preview of the steamy footage on their website. It featured the star and Heather Clem, the former wife of wrestler and radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge.
Hogan has ordered bosses at the website to take the video clip down, but they have yet to comply, and so on Tuesday an attorney for Hogan filed legal papers at the Clearwater Police Department, asking detectives to help track down the culprit who invaded the 59 year old's privacy and recorded him without permission.
Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, appeared on the "Today Show" on Tuesday to reflect on the incident, insisting the sex tape scandal has been traumatic for his family and new wife Jennifer McDaniel.
He said, "It's appalling. It's flipped my life totally upside down… Jennifer is rattled, to say the least. She's not part of this media life. It's something devastating to me, I've never been through anything on this level."

Hawkins misses his second straight game with a knee injury. Binns is inactive for the third time in the last five games, slowed by an ankle injury. Rookie Mohamed Sanu makes his second straight start.
The Raiders are missing running back Darren McFadden and defensive tackle Richard Seymour.
McFadden hasn't fully recovered from an ankle injury on Nov. 4. He didn't practice last week. Neither did Seymour, who misses his third straight game Sunday with knee and hamstring injuries.

My dad is a wonderful man – kind and quiet and thoughtful and generous. I can say with confidence that in many ways, I am the man I am because of my father.
When I was a teenager, he gave me an uncomfortable number of sex talks – he saw it as his duty as a physician papa to talk about STIs, condoms, waiting until marriage, etc. Years later, though, as we were sitting together in the mountains of Colorado, I asked him about something that was never mentioned in any of those uncomfortable conversations.
"Dad, in all of those times you talked to me about sex, why did we never talk about consent?"
He thought for a moment, then replied, "Well, I assumed it was a given."
A given.
God, how I wish that consent was a given, something we didn't need to talk explicitly with young people about. How I wish we lived in a culture of consent where we breathed in consent and respect and accountability in the way that we presently do rape culture.
But we don't live in that world. As some people come into clearer awareness about sexual violence by hearing of the lenient sentence given a White rapist from Stanford University and through reading the statement from the survivor of that attack, we see once again the ways that our systems bend over backward to protect rapists (particularly White rapists).
But rape culture is about more than a single viral incidence of violence.
Rape culture is evident in the startling fact that every single one of us knows multiple survivors of sexual violence, yet so often we don't know that we know survivors.
Rape culture is evident in the truth that just as many of us know perpetrators of sexual violence, perpetrators who will never be held accountable in any way.
But this short post isn't meant to be about rape culture. This post is meant to be about the ways we can shift those around us to speak out, to act, to work to end sexual violence.
I don't think I have had another conversation with my dad about sexual violence since that short talk about consent many years ago. I have tried; it just never went anywhere. But I realized this morning that even when we weren't talking, he was listening.
Last night, my dad sent me this email:
Should be in bed at 1145 but became pulled and wanted to read the whole article about the Stanford student written by Lindsey Bever in the Washington Post. Definitely a reading that shows the pain and struggles of sexual assault. She will never be he same but is trying to make that journey back to some normalcy in her life. Very touching. I have a hard time reading a lot of your posts on Facebook but can really appreciate your passion. Sex always has to be consensual and if one is impaired one cannot give consent.
Take care Jamie.
Love Dad
His email is simple. It's not a nuanced condemnation of heteronormative patriarchal violence or a stirring call to action for all men.
And yet I sit here in tears. Because it's my dad.
And my dad spoke out to condemn sexual violence and to remind me that "sex always has to be consensual." And my dad did so in the context of the Stanford rapist's father defending his son in such a public and disgusting manner.
That means more to me than I can ever tell him or ever hope to convey here to my readers.
And his words are a reminder that the center is shifting – more and more men are realizing our responsibility to act, to change ourselves and the ways we view the world, which will in turn change our relationships and our communities.
And as I reflect upon this shift, I am forever grateful to those who lead the movement to force a shift, a movement led primarily by cis-women, Transgender people of all identities, and Gender Non-Conforming people, a movement led by survivors and their allies.
The work is far from finished, but this morning I feel just a little bit more hope than I did yesterday.
And I feel thankful to my dad.

Aloha from Waikiki, O'ahu!
We stumbled upon the world-famous Giovanni's White Shrimp truck at the north shore of O'ahu today, at Kahuku. Along the drive to the north shore, there are many shrimp trucks selling shrimp scampi, garlic shrimp or shrimp plates; there are also a few road site joints selling live shrimps caught from the nearby shrimp farms.
Totally unassuming in its appearance and set-up, Giovanni's shrimp is basically a mobile truck selling shrimp, but their shrimp is known to be the best on the island of O'ahu according to the locals and also many guide books. Plus, a truck load of people waiting eagerly in line for their shrimp can't be wrong.
One local told me that the current operator is the second owner and bought the business from the original "Giovanni" for a hefty $400,000, including his secret recipes. Giovanni then regretted his decision and got some local thugs to try to take back the business but to no avail.
From what I gather, this shrimp truck is a mean business and a cash cow that pulls in thousands of cash by selling only shrimp plates, priced at $13 for a dozen of shrimp with two scoops of white rice.
I tried out Giovanni's signature shrimp scampi and hot and spicy shrimp but opted out the rice. The shrimp is delicious! I am especially partial to the hot and spicy shrimp in their special blend of hot sauce.
The spicy shrimp got my tongue burning with the fiery kick from the hot sauce but I wanted more. The shrimp scampi was good, but I thought it lacks salt.
In any case, as a shrimp fan, I thoroughly enjoyed Giovanni's Original White Shrimp. The throng of tourists and locals who patiently waited for their shrimp plates obviously enjoyed their meals very much, too.

Oxford Whispers by Marion Croslydon is on tour with AToMR Tours!
Lucky me, I get to help promote it! I have to say that the premise of this book sounds deliciously creepy. If you haven't had a chance to read it just yet, let me tempt you with it right now!
Madison LeBon is dead set against the dead.
Her fresh start at Oxford University is a brand new beginning. She finally has a chance to turn the page on her psychic powers and cumbersome voodoo heritage. Snakes, dolls, ghosts, and spirits: Farewell…
Not quite.
When the tragic lovers in a painting—the subject of her first history class—begin to haunt her, she must accept her gift before life imitates art. The lovers warn her against their own nemesis, a Puritan from the English Civil War. Unfortunately, said nemesis is now going all homicidal on Madison.
College becomes more complicated when she falls hard for Rupert Vance, a troubled aristocrat and descendant of one of the characters in the painting. With the spirit of a murderer after her, Madison realizes that her own first love may also be doomed…
So as you can see, this is clearly something that you need to place on your TBR. Click the links above to go right now! Oh, and if that wasn't enough to tempt you, Marion Croslydon herself is here with a guest post today. So I'll stop rambling and let her take it away.
The Paranormal in OXFORD WHISPERS
By Marion Croslydon
I have a natural inclination for the occult and magic. My maternal family has gypsy roots to start with, but my heroine Madison has an even more powerful heritage to deal with since she comes from a long line of Voodoo Queens and Voodoo Priestesses. Voodoo-ism has always fascinated me. There are so many misconceptions starting with the clichés derived from watching James Bond's Live and Let Die too many times ;-)
I was born in West Africa, where Voodoo originates. When I had to leave, aged four, I left a piece of my heart behind. Elizabeth was the name of my nanny. She looked after me as if I were her own, carried me on her back in the traditional African way. This proud and kind lady gave me one of my most precious possessions: a Voodoo gris-gris. It was a leather pouch with a small shell on top of it. She had hung it on a rough thread so that I could carry it around my neck. It was meant to protect me from evil spirits and bring me luck.
The idea of mixing Madison's Voodoo heritage with psychic abilities came to me when I visited Louisiana and New Orleans… and, to be honest, in obsessing about True Blood. The storyline in which Lafayette is possessed with the spirit of Mavis (Season 4) teased my imagination. If you read Oxford Whispers, you might not see the similarities with Lafayette, but that's how my story was born somewhere in a remote corner of my imagination.

'Entitlement programs' serve elderly, poor
George Curry | 10/30/2013, 4:06 p.m.
NNPA) – Republicans have made it clear that their next budget goal is to slash so-called entitlement programs. Democrats have failed to explain to the public that the misnamed programs are valuable and prevent millions of Americans, many of them elderly or children, from living in poverty.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities issued a report last week that found: "Social Security benefits play a vital role in reducing poverty. Without Social Security, 22.2 million more Americans would be poor, according to the latest available Census data (for 2012). Although most of those whom Social Security keeps out of poverty are elderly, nearly a third are under age 65, including 1 million children. Depending on their design, reductions in Social Security benefits could significantly increase poverty, particularly among the elderly."
The report explained, "Almost 90 percent of people aged 65 and older receive some of their family income from Social Security. Without Social Security benefits, 44.4 percent of elderly Americans would have incomes below the official poverty line, all else being equal; with Social Security benefits, only 9.1 percent do. These benefits lift 15.3 million elderly Americans – including 9.0 million women – above the poverty line."
Medicare has proven equally as effective. Yet, Republicans like to pretend that the U.S. is quickly moving toward an entitlement society.
However, CBPP issued a report last year titled, "Contrary to 'Entitlement Society' Rhetoric, Over Nine-Tenths of Entitlement Benefits Go to Elderly, Disabled, or Working Households."
It stated, "More than 90 percent of the benefit dollars that entitlement and other mandatory programs spend go to assist people who are elderly, seriously disabled, or members of working households – not to able-bodied, working-age Americans who choose not to work. This figure has changed little in the past few years."
It stated, "The claim behind these critiques is clear: federal spending on entitlements and other mandatory programs through which individuals receive benefits is promoting laziness, creating a dependent class of Americans who are losing the desire to work and would rather collect government benefits than find a job.
"Such beliefs are starkly at odds with the basic facts regarding social programs, the analysis finds. Federal budget and Census data show that, in 2010, 91 percent of the benefit dollars from entitlement and other mandatory programs went to the elderly (people 65 and over), the seriously disabled, and members of working households. People who are neither elderly nor disabled – and do not live in a working household – received only 9 percent of the benefits.
"Moreover, the vast bulk of that 9 percent goes for medical care, unemployment insurance benefits (which individuals must have a significant work history to receive), Social Security survivor benefits for the children and spouses of deceased workers, and Social Security benefits for retirees between ages 62 and 64. Seven out of the 9 percentage points go for one of these four purposes."
The research also shatters another myth, the idea that entitlement programs shift resources for the middle class to the poor.

One Direction
Following the success of JLS and the Wanted, X-Factor contestants One Direction were the next group of heartthrobs to help revive the previously dying concept of the boy band. Niall Horan from Mullingar, Ireland; Zayn Malik from Bradford (currently engaged to Perrie Edwards); Harry Styles from Cheshire; Louis Tomlinson from Doncaster (currently dating Eleanor Calder), and Liam Payne (currently dating Sophia Smith) from Wolverhampton (the latter had previously reached the judge's house stages of The X-Factor as a 14-year-old back in 2008) originally entered the 2010 seventh series of the talent show as individuals, but following a suggestion from guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, they were grouped together to become One Direction. Mentored by Simon Cowell, they soon became one of the favorites to win the show, thanks to renditions of Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," Elton John's "Something About the Way You Look Tonight," and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart." However, despite receiving a standing ovation for their duet with Robbie Williams ("She's the One") in the live final, they eventually finished third behind Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle. Spotting the potential of the group, Cowell signed them to his Syco label in a £2million deal, and after performing on the X-Factor tour, the quintet began work on their debut album with Savan Kotecha (Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias). Following a sponsorship deal with Nintendo DS and a book, Forever Young, named after their cover of the Alphaville classic which was intended to be their winner's song, they released their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," in late 2011. The full-length album, Up All Night, followed soon after. In 2012, One Direction became the first British band to debut on top of the Billboard 200 list when Up All Night sold over 176, 000 copies during its first week of release in America. In late 2012, One Direction released its sophomore album, Take Me Home. Highlighting more of the band's melodic pop, Take Me Home featured songs and production via Sweden's Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, and Savan Kotecha, who worked on Up All Night, as well as contributions from such luminaries as Max Martin and Dr. Luke. In August of 2012, the band released the single "Live While We're Young" online. In July of 2013, the One Direction boys released "Best Song Ever", their first single off of the third album. The music video for this song broke the VEVO record for most views in 24 hours, with 10.9 million views. In October of 2013, they released "Story of My Life", as the second single of their third album. On November 25, 2013, their third album, "Midnight Memories", debuted at #1 in over 90 countries across the world.

It was the pop culture equivalent of the Big Bang, a televised moment that changed music for decades to come.
Fifty years ago Sunday, the Beatles made their U.S. live television debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show" as 73 million people tuned in, the largest audience in history at that time. The English band's appearance ignited American hysteria over the group and its music on a scale unmatched to this day.
In the shorthand of history, it appears to be a moment of spontaneous combustion. In reality it was the result of musical talent, managerial chutzpah and marketing genius.
But at the time, not even John, Paul, George or Ringo were fully aware of what was to come.
"We were busy — it was crazy at home," drummer Ringo Starr, 73, said in a recent interview. "We thought we were just coming to do some TV show. We were like, 'We're going to America!' — that's all I could think, we're going to America where all the music I ever loved came from. That was the big news for me."
From early on, the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, was determined to break his band in America.
"His conviction in the Beatles' qualities was unshakable from the start," said Mark Lewisohn, author of a new biography "Tune In: The Beatles — All These Years, Vol. 1." "He believed ... that they would be the greatest."
But through most of 1963, even the band's label wasn't taking much notice. Executives at Capitol Records, the sister label of Britain's EMI-owned Parlophone Records, deemed their music unsuitable for American audiences and repeatedly declined to release soon-to-be Beatles' classics including "Love Me Do," "Please Please Me" and "She Loves You."
"I would occasionally take an EMI record, English in particular, and release it in the United States with no success whatsoever," Capitol's then-president, Alan Livingston, says in historian Bruce Spizer's 2003 book, "The Beatles Are Coming! The Birth of Beatlemania in America." "There was just no interest in English artists here."
True enough. Cliff Richard was the biggest pop star in England before the Beatles came along, selling millions of records at home. The best he could do in the U.S. was No. 25 for his late-1963 version of the 1950s pop-R&B ballad "It's All in the Game."
What's more, lead guitarist George Harrison found no awareness of the band when he came to America in September 1963 to visit his sister, Starr said.
"He said, 'It's going to be tough,' " Starr recalled.
That would soon change, as Beatlemania took hold in England — and American news outlets began to take notice.
On Oct. 6, 1963, the Los Angeles Times published a London Times story about what had erupted out of the seaport city of Liverpool. Reporter Derek Jewell presciently noted:
"One genuine novelty, however, may make the sociologists twitter," he wrote. "Their talk reveals them as very much part of that questing, confident, cool, sharp and unshockable stream which has come of the grammar schools in the last decade."
The Beatles' refreshing candor, energetic music and irreverence won them a spot performing for the royal family at the Royal Variety Show in London on Nov. 4. That high-profile gig helped boost their profile across the pond.
The Beatles' name came up in Sullivan's world as early as summer 1963, when the show's British talent scout, Peter Pritchard, took notice of the quartet's rising popularity and the intense fan reaction during their performances.
Pritchard used the performance before the royals as further ammo in urging Sullivan to put them on his show and helped arrange for Epstein to come make his pitch directly.
Epstein persuaded Sullivan not just to put the Beatles on his weekly variety show but to guarantee three appearances. Even more remarkably, Sullivan consented to giving them top billing on the first show even though at that moment they were an unknown quantity in the States.
And vice versa. "We had no idea [Sullivan's show] was that huge," Starr said. "We just thought it'd be a break-in to America. And New York — we were in New York, for God's sakes. It was incredible."
The deal with Sullivan was the ammunition Epstein needed to cajole Capitol President Livingston to release their music in the U.S. and, equally important, to commit to spending $40,000 — a hefty amount in 1963 — promoting the Beatles' new single, "I Want To Hold Your Hand." Capitol slated it for mid-January release, ahead of the Feb. 9 Sullivan show debut.
Things were starting to change: Time and Newsweek magazines carried reports about the Beatles in their issues of Nov. 16 and Nov. 18, respectively. Then all three major American television networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — dispatched film crews to a Beatles' Nov. 16 performance in Bournmouthe, England.
NBC aired a piece three days later, the group's first national TV exposure in the U.S. A more significant report on the band then aired on CBS the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, shortly before President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
The Beatles story had been slated to be repeated that evening on the top-rated "CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite," but the JFK news put every other story on the back burner. Eighteen days later, however, Cronkite resurrected the Beatles report in the belief it would give a nation in mourning something to smile about once again.
It did.
Their performance of "She Loves You" on that newscast prompted 15-year-old Marcia Albert of Silver Springs, Md., to contact her local radio station, WWDC in the nation's capital.
"Why can't we have this music in America?" Albert asked.
Deejay Carroll James, who also had seen the Beatles on Cronkite's newscast, responded by inviting Albert to the station to introduce "I Want To Hold Your Hand" before he played it for the first time in the U.S. on Dec. 17. WWDC's phone lines promptly lighted up.
Capitol's response? A "cease and desist" letter insisting the station pull the record because the company wasn't planning to release it for almost another month.
It was too late. Other stations had noted the response it was getting in Washington and began playing it. Livingston, quickly realizing the Beatles were out of the bag, pushed up the release date of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" to Dec. 26.
It was a serendipitous move for all concerned.
Teenagers were out of school on winter vacation, many had holiday gift money in their pockets itching to be spent, and radio stations had begun playing the Beatles in heavy rotation. Three weeks later, the Beatles hit No. 1 on the Cash Box singles chart; "I Want to Hold Your Hand" had sold 1 million copies and was showing no sign of slowing down.
The Beatles, who had vowed not to tour the States before they had a No. 1 hit, got the news they'd long dreamed of amid their three-week residency in Paris, which ended Feb. 3. Four days later, they were on a plane bound for the U.S.
Another turning point that affected the group's fortunes stateside was the news conference they held — two days before they'd perform for Sullivan — before a phalanx of reporters and photographers who came to slaughter and instead were conquered by the Liverpudlians' charm and wit.
"They actually said that they came to that press conference to kill us," Starr said. " 'Oh, another band from England.' But because … we shouted back, they loved us. We're from Liverpoool, so you shout at me, I shout at you, that's how it is; I don't care if you are from New York.
"They said that was so great, because everybody comes here and says, 'Oh, it's very nice to be here, and we love it' — and we said, 'Oh, piss off!' or whatever we said. That made the press enjoy us, and that helped," Starr said.
It was more evidence of the dictum often stated by Epstein and various members of the group: If they would be given a chance to be seen and heard, they firmly believed America would fall in love with them.
The various strategies Epstein put in place in the months leading to their arrival to create that chance helped create the frenzy that resulted in a surging throng of 3,000 screaming teens who greeted their plane when it touched down at JFK International Airport.
The fuse had been set, the powder keg primed. All that remained was for Ed Sullivan to step in front of 73 million viewers that Sunday night 50 years ago and strike the match with those five words he uttered at 8:03 p.m. to introduce America to four lads from Liverpool: "Ladies and gentlemen: the Beatles!"

As Bob Levy has already ably probed the legal issues surrounding the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, I'll just append a few miscellaneous thoughts.
First, over the last decade we have been repeatedly told by foreign policy hawks that it is foolish, and even borderline offensive, to suggest that aggressive U.S. action abroad may have the counterproductive and unintended consequence of swelling the ranks of terror groups. When evaluating the wisdom of drone strikes or invasions of other countries, we need not even factor in the downside risk of "blowback" stemming from such actions, because "they hate us for our freedoms." In other words, radical Islamist terrorists are fundamentally motivated by a vision of a global caliphate, not by any grievances stemming from real or perceived injuries inflicted by U.S. policy. I think of this as the "No Marginal Terrorist" Theory, because it posits that people are motivated to join terror groups strictly for reasons connected with either personal psychology or theology, such that reactions to specific U.S. actions never make the difference at the margin.
At the same time—and often by the same people—we are told that Anwar al-Awlaki posed a grave threat to the United States, not so much because of any particular logistical genius he possessed, but because he was so dangerously effective as a recruiter and propagandist who could inspire people already living in the West to jihad. Surely, then, it's relevant to inquire into the nature of this lethally effective propaganda. Here is an excerpt from what The Guardian calls one of "his most direct, English-language statements endorsing terror attacks on Americans":
With the American invasion of Iraq and continued U.S. aggression against Muslims, I could not reconcile between living in the U.S. and being a Muslim, and I eventually came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself just as it is binding on every other Muslim….
To the Muslims in America, I have this to say: How can your conscience allow you to live in peaceful coexistence with a nation that is responsible for the tyranny and crimes committed against your own brothers and sisters?
Possibly al-Awlaki is just a sort of Salafist James Earl Jones, and the sheer hypnotic beauty of his voice is what compels people to sacrifice their lives for him, without regard to the specific contents of his sermons. Still, it seems to be a problem for the No Marginal Terrorist Theory if a propagandist who was believed to be uniquely effective at motivating people to become terrorists used rhetoric like this to do it.
Second, a good deal of the coverage I've been seeing has treated the conclusions of U.S. intelligence analysts about al-Awlaki's role and status within al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) as ironclad facts rather than contestable inferences from necessarily patchy data—even though the past decade should have made it abundantly clear that analysts sometimes get it wrong. Certainly al-Awlaki is no "innocent" in any sense of the word, but on the crucial claim that he'd progressed from terrorist mascot to mastermind, it's worth noticing how much of the case depends on plots that the cleric was "linked to" or "believed to have had a hand in planning." At least one Yemen expert has argued that al-Awlaki's status within AQAP has been wildly inflated, describing him as a "midlevel religious functionary."
While there is some public evidence that certainly seems to support the conclusion that al-Awlaki had gone "operational"—that he did not merely advocate jihad in principle, but played a key role in planning and directing terrorist acts—the bulk of it remains classified. As we learned to our great cost after the invasion of Iraq, a top secret clearance does not actually grant omniscience, and sometimes a case that seems like a slam-dunk on the surface falls apart under impartial scrutiny. Paradoxically, the administration's refusal to submit to that scrutiny seems to have given its determinations an aura of oracular certainty.
Third, the case for targeted killing here relies very heavily on the fact that al-Awlaki had put himself beyond the reach of feasible arrest. The most ardent hawk would recoil at the prospect of simply dropping a bomb on a citizen suspected of al Qaeda ties in New Jersey, or London. But as Robert Farley notes, what is "feasible" is at least in part a matter of judgments about the risks and benefits of attempting a capture. So we're required to entrust to the executive branch to determine not just when a particular citizen has joined the enemy, but under what conditions it's worth the risk of attempting to take them alive.
In al-Awlaki's case, one can at least say—as the judge who rejected a lawsuit brought by his father did—that the target was plainly aware the government was after him, and in theory could have offered to surrender himself if he'd been interested in seeking his day in court. (I stress "in theory" because it's hard to imagine AQAP looking favorably on such a decision in the wildly improbable event al-Awlaki had been inclined to make it.)
But remember that this was supposed to be a wholly covert operation, and would (according to the administration) imperil national security if discussed in any way—even though the national security risk appears to have diminished a great deal now that it's a matter of taking credit rather than blocking litigation. There was an advance leak in this instance, but the next citizen on the list may have no idea there's a Hellfire missile with his name on it. What we think about the specific instance of al-Awlaki, then, seems less important than how we feel about a case in which everything goes according to plan. That is, an American citizen is simply killed abroad with no advance warning, on the basis of an executive determination that he has joined an enemy power and poses an imminent threat, and no guarantee that the United States will acknowledge (let alone justify) the operation even after the fact.
Fourth and finally, the debate after the fact has been a reminder of how utterly useless conventional war metaphors are for grappling with the unique problems presented by the present conflict. Anyone who imagines the very thorny issues presented in the current case are somehow illuminated by analogies from World War II is just kidding themselves: if this conflict were not so plainly unlike World War II and other conventional conflicts between nation states, on so many salient dimensions—if we could straightforwardly treat an ever-shifting array of emerging terror groups as equivalent to a sovereign country's uniformed military—everything would be a good deal simpler.

Since Easter is coming up, I was thinking of how much fun we had as kids, searching for Easter eggs that the Easter Bunny (whose connection to Christianity is tenuous at best) had hid around the backyard. Fun, that is, until the year that the Wester Chicken visited us.
We awoke early that crisp spring day, the sun cresting over the horizon, rays of warm light beaming through the Piney Woods of East Texas. Mom and Dad were up already, cooking us a breakfast of pancakes and Owen's Country Sausage. We'd be getting dressed in an hour or so for Easter Mass at the Catholic church, but we had just enough time to scarf down our breakfast and go outside to hunt Easter eggs.
Except there were no eggs to be found. Instead, our backyard had dog shit hidden around it. Big piles, like those left by a Labrador Retriever or Doberman. Not the kind left by our toy poodle. We cried and cried, unable to comprehend why there was excrement rather than just eggs left to be found.
But we moved on. The Easter Bunny had still left us Easter baskets, filled with sugary treats that made us forget our predicament.
The Easter Bunny came through the next couple of years, before declaring us to be too old for such things. And, most importantly, we forgot about the misfortune of the dog shit.
Until a few years ago, that is. I was lying in bed, unable to sleep on a hot summer night, when it popped into my head. The dog shit. What did it mean? Where did it come from? What happened to the eggs that we had diligently applied PAAS and Dudley's dyes to the night before Easter morning?
I started asking around, "Did you, as s kid, ever wake up on Easter morning only to find that the eggs you meticulously dyed had been replaced with dog shit?". Surprisingly, several people replied in the affirmative. I was on to something.
Further research, involving trips to the library and Google-fu, led to me discovering the secret of the Wester Chicken.
"What?" you ask.
By the middle of the Twentieth Century, the world's chickens had come to discover that their eggs were being misappropriated by both people and the Easter Bunny as some sort of game during the Paschal season. To combat this, in 1972, the chickens convened the The International Congress of Concerned Chickens on The Easter Problem (Le Congrès international des poulets concernés sur le problème de Pâques) in Montreal. After much deliberation, they nominated Antoine van der Cluck to be the first Wester Chicken.
The Wester Chicken would travel the world, following the movements of the Easter Bunny, replacing the hidden eggs in people's yards with dog shit. The only problem was, where does one acquire so much dog shit?
The Congress hit upon the idea of creating dog parks…places where unsuspecting people could take their dogs to play. They would provide bags with which people could clean up their dog's shit and deposit into special containers that were ostensibly trash cans but were actually collection points for dog shit. Periodically, chicken agents would collect these bags of dog shit and forward it to the Wester Chicken's Headquarters in Ossining, New York, where it would be carefully preserved in a 7,500 square meter facility for distribution. Since the chickens lacked the technology used by the Easter Bunny to make it to every household during the night before Easter (technology licensed from ClausCo, Inc.), only a subset of houses would be visited each year. Eventually, both humans and the Easter Bunny would get the message.
Alas, it hasn't happened yet. The chickens haven't been victorious in their quest to end the misuse of their precious eggs. Dudley's and PAAS are still making dye. Kids everywhere still get up on Easter morning to hunt eggs (though, one supposes, some are disappointed to find feces instead). But maybe, just maybe, this will finally be the year.
A typical, yet overloaded, dog shit collection station, ready for harvesting:

If one looks at the various whiskies bottled exclusively for the Taiwanese market over the last couple of years, a pattern starts to emerge that seems to indicate a preference for heavily-sherried whiskies and for old whiskies. I'm sure many whisky drinkers elsewhere in the world would self-apply such a preference, too. What makes Taiwan a little different is that a large segment of the whisky drinking population there actually has the means to put their money where their mouth is. And so, it should not come as a surprise that Karuizawa has been and continues to be a big hit over there. Over the next weeks, we'll review some Karuizawa single casks exclusively bottled for Taiwan and what better way than to start with these "young" beauties... and I'm talking about the ladies on the label here. They're part of a series of "geishas" lost in various types of reveries. What's not to like?
Karuizawa 1983 / 2012, cask #2656 [sherry butt], 57.6%abv, 589 bottles
Karuizawa 1981 / 2012, cask #2100 [sherry butt], 60.4%abv, 409 bottles
In my opinion, Karuizawa's golden age was the early 80s - i.e. the 1981 to 1984 vintages - and this bottling is a classic example of that style: heavy, thick and rich but never incoherent in all its abundance. On the nose, you get raisins, prunes, some fig jam, marzipan, old balsamic vinegar, new leather, but also rosemary, macademia nuts and a subtle smoked char (the fish, "iwana", that is) note. Given a bit of time in the glass, things will get a bit more nutty (beech nuts, cashews) and meaty (coppa, dried pork sausage). The palate is a lush feast of assorted dried fruits, stewed prunes and roast lamb - incredibly mouth-coating (it just won't leave - not that you'd want it to). The finish is really long and gives you this beautiful brown-sugar-and-balsamic dressing note and something akin to a smoking room "the morning after". Water gives it a bit more definition on the nose, but disturbs the coherence on the palate. Classic Karuizawa and certainly easier than the 1983, but sometimes "easy" is not what you want or need. Then again, sometimes it is...
In the second part of our mini-series on Karuizawas for Taiwan, we'll be looking at two specimens from the 1977 vintage. Watch this space.

Angels try to push win streak to 8, complete sweep of Royals
With their winning streak up to a season-high seven games, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will try to complete a series sweep over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
Pitching was the story for the Angels on Saturday, as five hurlers combined for a four-hit shutout and a 7-0 victory in the third contest of this four- game series.
Billy Buckner (1-0) earned his first big league win since 2009, giving up just two hits and three walks over five innings of work. Dane De La Rosa, Scott Downs, Robert Coello and Michael Kohn pitched an inning apiece to complete the shutout effort.
Hank Conger got the scoring started in the sixth inning with a solo shot. Josh Hamilton later added his seventh homer of the year, while Mike Trout scored two runs and stole a base for the third straight game.
After starting the season by losing 22 of their first 33 games, the Angels have finally started playing up to their lofty expectations, outscoring teams 54-18 during their current seven-game spurt.
"(The winning streak) hasn't changed the expectations at all," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Obviously, confidence as a team builds as you start to move in the right direction. Right now these guys feel good because we're playing the type of baseball we had hoped we would play the first month, but it didn't appear."
On the losing end of things was Jeremy Guthrie, who, despite pitching into the eighth inning, was charged with six earned runs.
Mike Moustakas had the Royals only extra-base hit with a double in the fifth.
The Royals have lost eight of their last nine since taking two of three from the Angels on May 13-15.
On Sunday, Jerome Williams will attempt to continue his strong season for the Angels. After starting the season in the bullpen, Williams has played his way into the rotation in the early going, sporting a 3-1 record with a 2.53 ERA.
Williams had his best outing of the year in Angels' 12-0 rout of the Mariners on May 21. The right-hander pitched eight scoreless innings in the win, allowing six hits and two walks while striking out six.
For the Royals, Wade Davis will toe the rubber for the 10th time this season. After finding great success as a reliever with the Rays in 2012 (2.43 ERA in 54 appearances), Davis (3-3) has struggled in his return to the rotation with a new team, as he sits with a 5.91 ERA while allowing opposing batters to hit .351 against him.
Davis was able to keep his woes in check in his latest outing, surrendering three runs over five innings of work in a May 21 no-decision against the Astros.
The 6-foot-5 right-hander faced the Angels on May 15 and earned the win despite allowing nine hits, three walks and four earned runs in less than six innings.

"All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington."
— President Obama, late Wednesday afternoon
The Texas delegation couldn't disagree more.
Texas' two senators, who did all they could to sink a compromise to expand background checks before weapon sales, hailed the Senate's action — even though each of them sponsored measures that also failed.
Pathway to a national gun registry defeated in the Senate. Crucial victory for #2ndAmendment #Protect2A
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) April 17, 2013
House Republicans were elated by the Senate's 54 to 46 vote on the background-check compromise offered by Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvnania — which fell six votes short of the 60 required for passage because of a threatened Cruz-led filibuster.
A big victory for our 2nd Amendment Rights! fb.me/17uiufLaY

Today, the Senate rejected a bill to expand background checks for gun purchases.We need to focus on keeping guns… fb.me/umKjdKvJ
— Rep. Roger Williams (@RepRWilliams) April 17, 2013
The most loquacious critic of the gun-control proposals was Rep. Steve Stockman of Friendswood, who tweeted 19 times in the two hours following the background-check vote. A few highlights:
The bill failed because it was unconstitutional. Exploiting grieving parents and blaming nebulous conspiracies is what pushed it into doom.
— Rep. Steve Stockman (@SteveWorks4You) April 17, 2013
Nothing in these bills would have prevented the tragedy in Newtown. Obama should be ashamed of himself for exploiting their grief.

We are currently ordering our U-Haul gift cards for Hagan and Landrieu. Baucus, Begich and Pryor, also on our list, voted correctly.
— Rep. Steve Stockman (@SteveWorks4You) April 17, 2013
And getting in a dig at the cable news network that incorrectly reported the arrest of a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, Stockman declared, tongue-in-cheek:

Miller Sits in Fifth in Epee After First Day
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—A tough day of competition for the Yale women's fencing team on Saturday left it in seventh place at the Feb. 8-9 Ivy League Championship, held this year at Brown in Providence, R.I.
The Bulldogs finished the day with a 0-4 record, after difficult match-ups against Harvard (23-4), Penn (21-6) and Princeton (26-1), and a narrow loss to Brown (14-13). Princeton leads after day one with a 4-0 record.
Sophomore Katherine Miller was the best performing Yale fencer on Saturday; she sits in fifth place in epee competition with a 0.700 percentage. Junior captain Lauren Miller closed the day in 11th place in foil competition, while freshman Joanna Lew finished in 13th place in saber competition.
Yale will face Columbia and Cornell on Sunday, with round robin competition commencing at 10:00 a.m.

I'm a pretty tall guy (194 cm / 6'4"). So the weights are probably going to sound like more than they are.
In 2010, I was 24 years old, chronically sleep deprived, obese, heavy smoker, semi-alcoholic and had serious doubts I'd make it to 30.
In 2011, I was 25 years old, chronically sleep deprived, obese, non-smoker, and had serious doubts I'd make it to 30. I weighed 140 kg (310 lbs). According to my doctor, I had the blood pressure of a 70 year old. This was me:
-- that's a 3XL shirt.
In early 2012, I decided to go on yet another diet I had found on reddit. To my surprise, I was able to stick to it, and I lost a lot of weight. Down to something like 110 kg (240 lbs).
In 2013, not much happened in terms of weight. I did a bunch of cardio because I actually could for the first time in a long while. Mostly bike rides. But also some walking. Although, my healthy habits were offset by unhealthy habits. Net result in terms of weight and health was bupkis.
In early 2014, I decided to redouble my efforts, since it was frustrating to hover so tantalizingly close to being of normal weight. So no more restaurant food and weekly boozing. I cook my own food. All of my own food. On top of that, I've continued my biking habit. So on a squeaky 3-gear bicycle, my record distance this summer is 43km (slightly longer than a marathon). I averaged about 100 km/week during my 4 week vacation.
Anyway, today I woke up and found the scale reading 95 kg (211 lbs). 45 kg down, or 99 lbs. Either way. Wow. Great success!
This was me yesterday:
-- the oversized shirt is an XL. But even L is starting to feel a bit roomy for me now.
You may notice the presence of such features as: A neck. And collar bones. And cheekbones. Cool stuff I haven't had in a long while Also, not featured in the picture, but featured on me: Visible veins and palpable ribs. Used to be when I needed to leave a blood sample, they'd have such struggle finding a blood vessel I walked out of the clinic looking with a heroin junkie. Now you can see that fucker clear as day.
So in summary: Diet is in check*, I no longer smoke, my blood pressure is healthy (125/85), I exercise regularly, and I've also started taking sleeping a lot more seriously. 8 hours per night (what I need to be rested) is pretty much sacred to me. I don't know what I was thinking burning the candle in both ends like that. Makes you feel like shit all day long D:
* still keto/low-carb. I cook all my own food, usually from scratch. No booze. No snacking. No sweeteners. I've found this a highly sustainable lifestyle. But I guess that's probably going to be highly individual what works.

Genuine Smithfield Hams have crowned America's tables for generations. They are as distinctive as they are delicious, as elegant as they are hearty. They are the flavor of Southern Hospitality. The Luter family of Smithfield, Virginia, has been curing and selling hams since the turn of the century. Joseph W. Luter, Sr.'s first job was at a local meat packing plant. His young son, Joseph W. Luter, Jr., followed in his father's footsteps, learning every phase of the meat packing industry. And eventually persuading him start their own business - Smithfield Packing Company was chartered in 1936.

How the Vice Presidency Works in Washington, D.C.
Fourteen men who gained the vice presidency in Washington, D.C., subsequently became president: nine due to the death or resignation of the president, and five by direct election. (Of the veeps who succeeded to the highest office, only Thomas Jefferson served two full terms as president.)
The vice presidency is not always the most stimulating or rewarding political position. Constitutionally, vice presidents preside over the U.S. Senate and cast the deciding vote in case of a tie, and they also represent the president at state funerals around the world.
Other than that, they don't have many mandated duties, which is why John Adams, our first Vice President, called it "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived." Daniel Webster turned down the office of Vice President, declaring, "I do not propose to be buried until I am actually dead."
However, especially in modern times, the vice president can have substantial influence depending upon his relationship with the president. Both Al Gore and Dick Cheney had important, substantive roles in their administrations. (In contrast, Franklin D. Roosevelt's number two, Harry Truman, came into office not knowing about the Manhattan Project's atomic bomb.)
The Constitution stipulates that the powers and duties of the President devolve to the vice president "in case of the removal of the President from office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties" of the Office.
The Constitution does not set out eligibility requirements for the vice president, but obviously a vice president could not succeed to the presidency unless he or she met the eligibility requirements for that office.
His duties also include signing legislation and international agreements, issuing Executive Orders to carry out various governmental actions or measures to implement laws, and nominating officials for Senate confirmation.
