Once upon a leather jacket, Laurén Bienvenue found her calling
After working as a publicist for 10 years, Laurén Bienvenue turned a critical eye on her career.
"I was looking at my life, thinking, 'This can't be it,'" Bienvenue says. "This was not what I saw for myself."
The alarm bells were ringing. Bienvenue wanted a new life. So she grabbed a paintbrush and created one.
Her company, Once Upon a Laurén, repurposes old leather jackets with hand-painted designs. Bienvenue brings out a specific personality in each one-of-a-kind creation, from a Golden Girls-chic white blazer covered in palm leaves (it's a Sophia, to be exact) to a Foxy Brown-esque knee-length trench emblazoned with "Hustler."
"I like the unexpected mix of a masculine piece with a feminine print."
Bienvenue always identified as artsy. She discovered her current niche of leather painting when she spotted a jacket gathering dust in her closet and wanted to give it a new life. Then friends wanted them, and local businesses asked her to do pop-ups. She opened up an Etsy store in 2017, quit her corporate job, and now runs the business out of her Jersey City home, creating a new jacket each day.
What surprised Bienvenue most about being an entrepreneur wasn't the work involved, but the mental roadblocks that arose.
"The hardest part is staying confident and making sure you're on track," she says. "You just have days where you're like, 'I'm failing.'" The best salve for artistic insecurity? Asking successful creatives how they deal with the same issues on a daily basis. "To hear people you admire say that the best you can do is hit the middle ground of 'I'm OK, I'm not a complete loser' is the most helpful," she says.
"The hardest part is staying confident. You just have days where you're like, 'I'm failing.'"
In her first year of owning her own business, Bienvenue has already found some smart hacks for finding her audience and standing out among all the other artists on Etsy. "Etsy can get overwhelming, but they have such a good SEO search term program," she says. She used this to align her product with wedding search terms. Now her "Just Married" jackets make up 80 percent of her Etsy business.
As a one-woman operation, Bienvenue isn't worried about scaling. The New York City Creator Awards winner is focused instead on building her reputation as a leather painter and expanding into smaller leather accessories such as wallets and purses.
"It's fun to be in a business where you are yourself," she says. "It's with so much more confidence that I come in here and talk about what I stumbled on, but love."
How this luxury leather brand is disrupting the traditional accessories business
Eight years ago, brothers Dan and Tim Joo were living together in Brooklyn, dreaming of striking out on their own. Doing what, exactly, was yet to be determined: Tim had studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and Parsons School of Design, while Dan worked in computer engineering at IBM. Despite—or perhaps, […]

Best Leather Wallets For Men "The first few I made were really, really bad," Jesse Ducommun tells me, gesturing to a shoebox of rough looking leather wallets that sits beside a four-ton clicking press he keeps inside his home.

The notion of fixed establishment (hereinafter: FE) is of key significance among others from the perspective of proper determination of a place of supply of services for the purpose of VAT. Because of quite enigmatic definition of this term, all the time new disputes are arising in this regard between taxable persons and tax authorities, which more and more often attribute FE in Poland to foreign entities.
May the existence of a permanent establishment be derived from the fact that a company established outside the European Union has a subsidiary in Poland?
Is a third party obligated to analyse the contractual relations between a company established outside the European Union and its subsidiary for the purpose of determination whether a permanent establishment in Poland is in place?
Determination whether a foreign contracting party has a permanent establishment in Poland is crucial for a proper settlement of VAT. In accordance with Article 28b paragraph 2 of the VAT Act, if services are supplied to a fixed establishment, decisive for a place of supply of services is not the registered office but that fixed establishment. In consequence of finding that a foreign company has a fixed establishment in Poland, Polish taxable persons supplying services to them will not be able to take advantage of a reverse charge mechanism, which in the end results in the obligation to apply a domestic rate and possible tax arrears with respect to already effected transactions. Similarly, if foreign contracting parties making supplies of goods have a fixed establishment in Poland, it is not possible to apply a reverse charge mechanism, which results in the application of a proper domestic rate of VAT (Article 17 paragraph 1 of the VAT Act).
According to a definition included in Article 11 of the Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2011, a fixed establishment means any establishment, other than the place of establishment of a taxable business, characterised by a sufficient degree of permanence and a suitable structure in terms of human and technical resources to enable it to receive and use the services supplied to it for its own needs.
This definition does not clear all doubts in terms of interpretation. Tax authorities tend to interpret the definition of FE in a broad sense. For example, in the binding ruling of 6 February 2018 (no. 0114-KDIP1-2.4012.683.2017.2.MC), Director of the National Fiscal Information found that a foreign company selling goods in Poland with assistance of its subsidiary had a fixed establishment in Poland. It was of no relevance that decisions relating to the sales model were taken in Germany, and the company did not even have a warehouse in Poland.
Similar position was taken by Director of the National Fiscal Information in the binding ruling of 5 February 2018 (no. 0114-KDIP1-2.4012.643.2017.2.JŻ) in the case involving a Norwegian company which appointed a Polish contracting party to produce barges from entrusted construction elements. The Norwegian company transported them on its own to Scandinavia, where the most important manufacturing decisions were taken. The authority emphasised that the business of the company had been carried on in Poland already for several years, representatives of the Norwegian company controlled the production, and its employees had access to the manufacturer's shipping yard, and hence a fixed establishment had been created in Poland.
The analysis of the issue by the CJEU will definitely help resolve disputes arising in this regard. Noticing unfavourable interpretation of the provisions by tax authorities, in order to mitigate a tax risk, if any, it may be worth considering now an application for an individual binding ruling.

Making the catch less deadly
Coast Guard asks crabbers to consider doubling down on safety
By Petty Officer 1st Class Nate Littlejohn
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Within the commercial crab fishing fleet of Alaska's Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) sail some of the most widely admired and respected fishermen on earth.
An international audience has peered through the window to their world on the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch—Season 3 of the TV show alone attracted more than 49 million viewers. Now in its 17th season of production, the show regularly attracts over 2 million viewers per episode. Crab boat captains featured on the program are famous for making difficult decisions in life and death situations, while bearing responsibility for the lives of their crew.
The BSAI crab fishery was widely considered the most hazardous U.S. commercial fishery in the 1990s after 73 fishing-related fatalities. Although safety regulations in place at that time required vessels to carry lifesaving equipment, laws did not address the problem of overloading vessels with crab pots—a major cause of vessel disasters and deaths. This gap in safety regulations was partially corrected by the Coast Guard in 1999 with the introduction of a dockside stability and safety compliance check program. The number and rate of fatalities in the fleet have since decreased substantially.
"You have to thank the Coast Guard," said "Wild Bill" Wichrowski, a famous BSAI crab fleet captain of fishing vessel Summer Bay, during an October 2018 interview at KUCB Radio in Dutch Harbor. "Years ago (the fleet) would lose two or three boats a season, but now it's pretty few and far between. They ensure that when we leave the dock, they've done the best they can do to make sure we come back."
Traditionally, teams of commercial fishing vessel examiners from Alaska's 17th Coast Guard District check the majority of the crab fleet just before the opening of king crab season in mid-October in Dutch Harbor, King Cove and Kodiak. Their focus is safety gear, safety procedure and vessel stability.
In addition to making sure each boat has all required survival gear, examiners weigh a sampling of pots and review the vessel's loaded condition with the master to ensure compliance with the vessel's stability instructions.
These safety compliance checks are absolutely critical every year, because gear on a crab boat is constantly changing.
Captains and crew talk about the maximum allowable load for their boats, as well as how they need to be loaded.
Recent tragedies in these fisheries have shed light on just how important stability checks are for the fishing fleet.
Fishing vessels Destination and Scandies Rose sank in February 2017, and New Year's Eve 2019, respectively, claiming the lives of 11 fishermen.
The Coast Guard is encouraging the crab fleet to call and request an additional safety and stability check before heading out this winter to fish the pot cod and opilio crab seasons.
"We have traditionally focused a major safety and stability check effort at the beginning of king crab season in very specific locations because we know where the fleet will be—we're going to find the most boats in the same places at the same time," said Scott Wilwert, commercial fishing vessel safety coordinator for the 17th Coast Guard District in Juneau. "But we're encouraging fishermen to reach out to us again before the winter season, to schedule another check."
Though the checks are voluntary, a captain's incentives to schedule one are numerous.
"In addition to double checking that you're doing everything you can to bring your crew home safe, you're less likely to get boarded at sea and fined for violations if you received a safety and stability check at the dock," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Holly Hugunin, an examiner at Sector Anchorage. "We don't issue any fines during these stability checks, but a discrepancy at sea can cost you money, or worse yet, someone's life."
A boat that is not loaded correctly can capsize in a matter of seconds due to a variety of variables such as improper liquid loading for the different tanks, or insufficient watertight integrity. An already unstable vessel is exacerbated by ice and heavy seas.
But ice alone can sink a boat. During icing conditions a vessel's load size and limitations are reduced in that vessel's stability book. Every good crab boat captain understands the importance of paying particular attention to ice forecasts, and remaining vigilant about limiting the number of pots aboard with anticipated icing. They also recognize how crucial it is to break up ice and remove it as quickly as it forms.
"Whether it's your second time in two months, or your first time in years, taking advantage of a safety and stability check with us before fishing this winter can help prevent another tragedy," said Russ Hazlett, an examiner at Sector Anchorage. "The most likely locations in Alaska to schedule an exam this winter are Kodiak, Homer, Seward and Dutch Harbor where we have marine safety detachments. If nothing else, call us to attempt a stability check over the phone, regardless of where you're fishing from."
Fishermen are reminded of the state requirement to call the Coast Guard each time they prepare to depart port loaded with pot gear.
"I am extremely proud of the hard work done by our Coast Guard crews and appreciate the continued participation of the BSAI fleet in these safety compliance checks," said Capt. Leanne M. Lusk, commander, Sector Anchorage. "Together we can extend our shared commitment to safety into the winter seaon."
The global appeal of the BSAI crab fleet can likely be attributed to their extraordinary bravery and the unwavering skill they demonstrate under deadly conditions. While fans of Deadliest Catch are drawn to the danger, none want to see their favorite fishermen hurt or lost at sea.

Plumbing industry manufacturers, dealers and consumers: they're not on the same page.
The recession and subsequent recovery has wreaked a bit of havoc on the recovering plumbing fixtures landscape. And now, plumbing manufacturers, dealers and consumers often find themselves operating from three separate camps.
The industry in flux led us to reexamine the integral relationship between plumbing fixture manufacturers and their dealers. We conducted in-depth interviews with dealers across the U.S. to understand why they prefer one manufacturer over another, what drives product recommendations, manufacturer weaknesses and the state of dealers' business.
This whitepaper details our research findings and outlines opportunities to strengthen these relationships with a coordinated strategy, designed to build trust and bolster the value of each plumbing segment.

"Shrek the Musical!" will be performed this spring on Eastern Mennonite University's Thomas Plaza. The original performances slated for last spring (the photo of Donkey, Shrek and Fiona is from that production) were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current production, with actors and audience masked and socially distanced, has already sold out the two performances open to the general public. The April 10 and 17 performances have seats available to EMU students, faculty, staff and parents of production members. (Photo by Macson McGuigan)
'Shrek the Musical!' returns – to the outdoor stage
March 31, 2021 Last updated April 6, 2021 by Randi B. Hagi
"Shrek the Musical!" makes a triumphant comeback as Eastern Mennonite University's (EMU) first in-person arts event open to the public since the beginning of the pandemic.
Four outdoor, socially distanced performances will be held on two consecutive weekends. The Saturday performances, April 10 and April 17, are open to faculty, staff, students and parents.
The Friday performances for the general public on April 9 and 16 are sold out.
All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thomas Plaza.
Visit https://emu.edu/box-office/ to make your free reservation. All audience members are required to wear masks and to physically distance while congregated on EMU grounds. Additional Covid safety measures are also in place and will be communicated to our patrons upon arrival. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket for your own outdoor seating.
"As you watch our zany, high energy, and off-beat production, have fun. Also, ask yourself how you can more fully embrace your neighbor," said Professor Justin Poole, director of the musical.
The production, which includes a large cast of EMU students from across all majors and some community members as well, is based on the popular DreamWorks animated films.
"Shrek the Musical!" was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, with music by Tony Award winner Jeanine Tesori. The Broadway show received eight Tony nominations, including Best Musical. EMU Theater had originally staged the show last year, until COVID-19 wreaked havoc on live performances everywhere.
Poole brought back some of the original cast, added a few newcomers, and re-choreographed the show as a COVID-safe, outdoor extravaganza.
"It is the largest stationary stage area I have ever worked on, which has been a blast as a director," he said. "The actors have so much ground to cover and they do it with huge, bombastic movements that make the whole piece feel like a living cartoon. It's so much fun!"
Junior Joe Seitz returns to the show as the iconic wisecracker "Donkey."
"After a year with no theater, I think both the cast and the community are thoroughly excited to finally be back at it," Seitz said. "Every person involved with this show is bringing so much energy and I think this is one of the most fun shows we've put on in years."
Sarah Regan '18 has had her hands full, as she's both running the box office and acting in the show. Regan is the assistant director of auxiliary services when she's not playing "Thelonius" and "Mama Elf." In preparation for a public health-conscious show, Regan used photos and measurements of the front lawn to create a seating layout that will safely accommodate 200 people.
"Shrek has been an incredible source of life for me in the past year, as I believe it has been for so many of our cast and crew," Regan said. "We're hoping that this show can be a gift to the community after a long hard year full of disappointments."
For live theater aficionados who were not fast enough to the box office to see this spring's production, Poole says the theater department has already laid plans for next season: "We are hitting the ground running with an exciting, action-packed theater season featuring two original shows and EMU's first fully staged opera!"

Interview With Wayne Newton
Aired January 18, 2005 - 21:00 ET
LARRY KING, HOST: Tonight, he's been the main man in Vegas for 41 years. And now he's looking for the next Wayne Newton on reality TV. A rare one-on-one with a living legend in entertainment, my man, Wayne Newton.
What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. He's here with me in New York tonight. And taking your calls, too. You could be the next Wayne Newton. Mr. Las Vegas himself is next on LARRY KING LIVE in frigid New York.
Another fellow westerner is here. A Las Vegan, along with this Californian. Wayne Newton, the acclaimed entertainer, nicknamed "Mr. Las Vegas," chairman of the USO Celebrity Circle, a post formerly held by someone named Bob Hope. Host and star of a new reality series called "The Entertainer." It debuts on "E!" this Sunday night.
What is this all about?
WAYNE NEWTON, ENTERTAINER: This is about a chance to do for other performers what a lot of incredible people did for me. I think we're living in a time and place when professional talent doesn't have a showcase anymore when you think about it. A lot of major night clubs of closed down, lounges are not what they used to be. And so we decided to give that professional talent the showcase that's needed.
KING: How is it different like from "American Idol?"
NEWTON: It's very different because they can win a recording contract. These people win a year's contract with the Las Vegas Hilton to headline, worth over a million dollars. They win a stint with me and my show first, and...
KING: At the Stardust?
NEWTON: At the stardust. And...
KING: How are they selected? How does it work?
NEWTON: We auditioned in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago and Las Vegas and ended up with 30,000, 40,000 people auditioning.
KING: How many weeks does it run?
NEWTON: It will run a total of 12 weeks with the preemptions of a few of the award shows.
KING: Are the shows in Las Vegas?
NEWTON: They are all taped at the Las Vegas Hilton. And it's -- it's some phenomenal talent.
KING: Who is -- is the winner chosen by the audience, by a judge, by what?
NEWTON: They're chosen by me.
KING: Ah.
NEWTON: Actually, I have two people who are part of my organization that -- that I consult with. And -- but ultimately, the end result is I choose the winner.
KING: How did it come about?
NEWTON: A man by the name of Lee Brownstein called me, and he said, "I'd like a meeting because I have an idea for a show." And so he came up to Las Vegas and we talked.
And I said, "There are two conditions before we go any further. Number one, I won't do anything that maligns Las Vegas or makes it look bad. It's my town, I love it, it's been good to me. And I always will love it."
Secondly, I'm not a dream killer. I can't stand somebody up and malign them to the point of tears on national television. That's not what I am -- that's not what I'm about.
"Now, if we get by that, we'll go on and talk." And he said, "I don't have a problem with either one."
KING: So everyone on the show has talent?
NEWTON: They're all professional talent. And these people actually -- we run the gamut from 22 years old up to 38.
KING: In fact, a friend -- Nathan Burton the magician is on.
NEWTON: The magician is on.
KING: I've worked with Nathan Burton at my cardiac gala. He's a terrific...
NEWTON: Incredible talent.
KING: What a talent he is.
NEWTON: And the truth of the matter is that there's not one person on the show that -- I believe probably nine out of 10 will become major stars regardless who wins it.
KING: Let's see a clip from -- it starts this Sunday night on "E," Wayne Newton's new show, "The Entertainer." Watch.
NEWTON: Welcome to Las Vegas, gang. And congratulations for being chosen the 10 finalists. Out of the thousands that auditioned, you are the most talented.
One of you will be crowned "The Entertainer." In addition to the title of "The Entertainer," you'll have an extended play in my own show, and then you will receive a headlining contract right here at the Las Vegas Hilton for one year, which is worth well over a million dollars.
KING: If this show hits, you could do it every year, right?
NEWTON: Yes. In fact, "E" is already talking about a second season. And I said, "Let me get over this birth before we talk about another year."
KING: What was it like for you? Was the selection tough?
NEWTON: The selection was tough because, as you must know, I know what they're going through with an audition. And that in itself is a very heart-wrenching thing. Then to have to cut somebody that you know is very talented, that is just maybe having a bad night that particular night, but that's the rules of the game.
KING: You ever have a bad night?
NEWTON: Oh, sure.
NEWTON: Absolutely.
KING: Does the audience know it?
NEWTON: No. No. I hope not.
The truth of the matter is that -- that I don't think that there's any honest to god professional that, number one, whether or not they know it, I know it. So when I come offstage, if I've done a bad show or had a bad night, the fact that everybody was standing at the end or three or four times during the show means nothing to me. I know I could have done a better show.
KING: There's something shocking. We're going to Washington tomorrow, we're east for the inaugural. You have produced inaugurals. You are one of the -- you are such a fan of President Bush.
NEWTON: I am.
KING: Open about it.
NEWTON: Right.
KING: Very -- you wear your flag proudly, but you're not going.
NEWTON: This particular show some months ago dictated that I do a certain amount of press and all of that, and it just happens to turn out that it's this week. So as much as I was looking forward to going to the inaugural and being a part of it, I have to go back to the West Coast.
KING: What's it like to produce one? You've got to call all these stars yourself, right?
NEWTON: You have to call all the stars. And it really brought back wonderful memories with the loss of the great Ray Charles recently, because I remember calling him for President Reagan, and putting together those inaugural balls.
And he said, "Wayne, I'll do anything in the world for you. But you've got to promise me I'll get to meet the man." I said, "I promise you, you'll get to meet the man."
And as fate would have it, Ray Charles was on stage in Washington, singing "America." And, of course, nobody does it better, right?
KING: Nobody does.
NEWTON: And that's the moment that President and Mrs. Reagan walked into the theater, and he walked out on stage in the middle of Ray Charles' "America." And it's a moment that I will never forgot the rest of my life.
KING: Did you see the movie?
NEWTON: I did.
KING: Unbelievable, right?
NEWTON: Phenomenal.
KING: Anyone who knew Ray Charles knows what a job Jamie Foxx did.
NEWTON: It was absolutely phenomenal. And I think that the biographical content of it was also phenomenal.
KING: Yes, truthful.
NEWTON: Yes.
KING: Are people surprised to learn that you're a pro-Republican show business person? Because out in LA there aren't many.
NEWTON: I guess they are. Although I must admit that I was asked this question a couple of days ago at the Golden Globes. And they said, you know, "Have you felt maligned or denigrated or, you know" -- in any way -- and the truth of the matter is I haven't. There are people who are surprised at my politics and being a conservative and the rest of it. But the truth of the matter is, to my knowledge, I have never been overlooked or turned down for anything that I wanted to do that was being offered to me.
KING: You've never been snubbed by...
NEWTON: I never have, to my knowledge.
KING: Our guest is Wayne Newton. The premier of "The Entertainer" on "E" Sunday night. We'll be right back with Wayne. Later, we'll take your phone calls. Lots to talk about. Don't go away.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ladies and gentlemen, the king of Las Vegas, Wayne Newton!
KING: Appropriately enough, we're in New York tonight. Although...
NEWTON: Freezing our buns off.
KING: All New Yorkers are freezing. Let me tell you, this -- you look up "cold," and you get a picture of New York. And our guest is Wayne -- tell me about this USO thing, how you got into that and replaced Hope.
NEWTON: Well, I have been involved with the USO really my entire life. The first show I did for the USO, I was nine years old. And that was in Washington, D.C.
And then when the -- during the Vietnam era I realized I wasn't going to be drafted because I had bronchial asthma. And I thought, well, they can't stop me from entertaining. So I went to Nam twice for the USO in '66 and '68.
KING: Your own tour with Hope or...
NEWTON: No. In fact, I was -- I used to kid about it with Mr. Hope because I've done a lot of shows with Mr. Hope, god rest his soul. But never overseas. Always domestically. And so in -- in -- actually, his last tour was around 1990. It was Desert Storm. And about 10 months before 9/11, Mr. Hope and the USO called me and asked me if I would take his -- take over his role because I had done -- I had been in every major conflict that our country had been in since Vietnam. And as I said, I was there twice. And we entertained our troops off the shores of Lebanon after our embassy was bombed, then the Persian Gulf, and on and on and on.
KING: What's your role in this now?
NEWTON: Actually, I am the chairman of the USO Celebrity Circle. So I oversee all the shows that are sent anywhere.
KING: Are you going out all the time?
NEWTON: Going out all the time. I myself have done I think 12 international tours in the last 18 months.
KING: We're showing you now at the White House. I think you got an award, right?
NEWTON: Yes. In fact, that was when the president held a reception for when I was announced as chairman of the celebrity circle.
KING: What's the kick in that?
NEWTON: The kick is to be able to give back to a group of people that are making it possible for people like me to exist. When you think about those of us that live the life that we want to live, we can thank absolutely and completely our men and women in uniform. Because if it were not for them, we wouldn't enjoy the freedoms that we have.
And so I believe that my being able to do that, it absolutely gives back to them and also justice my own existence in many ways. And so we have -- it's one of the highlights of my life.
KING: Pretty good audience, too, right?
NEWTON: They're the best. They're the best. And I mean from 18 years old up.
And to -- if you're able to bring just a little touch of home and take them out of harm's way for a very short period of time, you can't imagine what that means to their life, and also to the families at home. Because given every soldier, male or female, there's a husband, wife, mother and father and children at home.
KING: There's no pay involved, right?
NEWTON: None at all.
KING: You were in Iraq?
NEWTON: Been in Iraq four times in the last 14 months. KING: What's that like?
NEWTON: It was phenomenal to watch the growth of Iraq and what our men and women are accomplishing for America over there.
KING: A tough, tough gig, though?
NEWTON: It's a tough gig. On the other hand, I said to a sergeant there, I said, "You guys watch a lot of news?" And he said, "No." He said, "That would be counterproductive." He said, "We're here to do a job."
And the morale is phenomenal. They're doing a phenomenal job for the schools and the hospitalities and the infrastructure. Unfortunately, all we hear about many, many times, you know, are the problems that are going on over there.
KING: In December, you did a send-off concert for the 155th Brigade Combat Team at Camp Shelby. Were they going there?
NEWTON: They were going to Iraq. In fact, this was their last day at home. They got to go spend Christmas and New Year's at home with their families and then report back, and they were shipped to Iraq the first week.
KING: Do you ever feel at risk yourself?
NEWTON: Oh, sure. Sure.
KING: Hope used to tell me he came close to buying it a lot.
NEWTON: As a matter of fact, we've been shot at. We've been -- at -- at Camp Anaconda, we came under mortar fire. In fact, they -- they affectionately called that Mortarritiville, Camp Anaconda. We came under mortar fire about probably within a 24-hour period probably 10 to 12 times.
KING: Are you concerned that the public is showing so much division over the war?
NEWTON: I don't -- I don't really get into that, Larry, because when I say I don't get into it, I don't believe that the support for our troops has anything at all to do with whether or not we should be there. Those decisions are made by somebody much smarter than me, and I think he's being inaugurated again on Thursday. I know he is.
And -- and my support is -- regardless of where our troops go -- is that we as Americans support them. And I don't believe that's -- I don't believe it's a political thing.
KING: Did you ever feel you wanted to be in the service yourself?
NEWTON: I did. In fact, in high school, I was in military school for four years and wanted to go to West Point.
NEWTON: And the thing that deterred that from happening was when they found out I had asthma.
KING: Now, what's with Vegas?
NEWTON: Where do you want to start?
KING: No, I mean, Vegas was a town in the desert with a couple of hotels. And now, it's booming, vibrant major world city.
NEWTON: I think...
KING: Destination point.
NEWTON: I think it's finally growing into what it was always meant to be. And as strange as that sounds, what I mean by that is, when you think of Las Vegas, it's the only city that I know of in the world of its kind that was built to be what it is. It wasn't converted from slums into, you know, a thriving metropolis.
NEWTON: And I believe that it offers for adults and young adults those same kind of fantasies that Disneyland and place likes that offer. And people love it.
KING: What about the Kirk Kerkorian thing now? They're going to build a city, like a downtown city in Vegas. You'll actually see a city.
NEWTON: As a matter of fact, I was talking to his dear friend...
KING: Jim...
NEWTON: Actually, Alex Yemenidjian.
KING: Oh, Alex.
NEWTON: And Alex is one of my best friends in the world, as is Mr. Kerkorian. And said, "Tell me what this thing is that you guys are building." And he explained it to me because I didn't know what it was.
KING: It's a city, right?
NEWTON: It's a city, yes, within a city. And it's going to be spectacular.
KING: Our guest is Wayne Newton. Speaking of spectacular, his show, "The Entertainer," debuts on "E" on Sunday night. We'll go to your calls at the bottom of the hour. We'll be right back with Mr. Las Vegas. Don't go away.
KING: The multitalented Wayne Newton, who has lost about 30 pounds, right? You
KING: You never looked better.
NEWTON: Thank you. Never felt better.
KING: Feel better, took, right?
NEWTON: Oh, boy. It's amazing.
KING: You dropped the moustache?
NEWTON: Well, actually, I shaved that off about 10, 12 years ago, when I realized that I had become a caricature of myself. Somebody handed me a T-shirt that they had made, and it just had two eyes and the eyebrows and the moustache. And you know who it was, and I thought it's time that this goes.
KING: You were very good in "Oceans 11." Did you have fun doing that?
NEWTON: Thank you. I loved it. I loved it. And...
KING: You should have done more acting.
NEWTON: Actually, I've done a lot. I would love to do more. And it's really nice to go out and be somebody else for a change. And, you know, I spent my whole life being Wayne Newton.
KING: Was it plus or minus being a child in the business?
NEWTON: I don't really know because the business is the only thing I've ever known since I was four years old.
KING: How were you able to start that early?
NEWTON: I was -- I had a local radio show at the age of six.
KING: Where?
NEWTON: In Virginia, WDBJ, before going to school. Then when we moved to Arizona because of my asthma, I had a local television show for four years in Phoenix. And then up until we went to Las Vegas. So...
KING: Were your parents musically inclined?
NEWTON: No, sir. Nobody in my family other than my brother and I were ever in music.
KING: And your brother was in the act for a while?
NEWTON: He was in the act up until around 1970.
KING: And what made it for you? What made -- was it "Danke Schoen?"
NEWTON: The truth of the matter is it was culmination of things. And I'm -- that I'm very grateful for in that I didn't -- I didn't go from obscurity to being a street word in -- in a one easy week with a hit record or anything.
"Danke Schoen" was a major hit. But it was then Mr. Benny came along and took me...
KING: Jack Benny.
NEWTON: Jack Benny, and took me into the main showrooms in Nevada. Jackie Gleason, of course, gave me my first television -- national television exposure. Then Lucille Ball and Danny Thomas, and on and on and on. People that were -- you know, that made sure I survived when I was kind of an anachronism. I was a throwback to a different generation, really.
KING: You know, when people first heard "Danke Schoen," they thought you were a girl?
NEWTON: So did I. The first time I heard it I was in LA, and I had turned on the car radio. And I heard Wink Martindale, who was on the big rock station in LA then. And he said, "This is a big hit record." And he said, "And it's being sung by supposedly a guy by the name of Wayne Newton." He said, "But we all know that it's really Margaret Whiting recording under a different name."
That's all. So that's the first time I heard "Danke Schoen" on the air.
KING: Did you always like that connection with an audience? Was it -- was performing something you just -- so -- age four. You're so -- you were always used to an audience?
NEWTON: Yes. It's the place that I'm probably the most comfortable in my life is on stage. And I think the reason that I so focused on being "an entertainer-performer," as opposed to playing an instrument totally or singing totally or dancing totally or telling jokes totally was because I didn't think I was ever going to have a hit record.
And so I put all my energies into learning how to perform. And it's the place I'm the most comfortable, interestingly enough. KING: So it's still -- when you get, "Here he is, Wayne Newton," that's still -- you get that jump, right?
NEWTON: There are times that we all don't feel well with the flu or a bug that knocks us out for a couple of days. I can tell you that the minute -- I feel like a racehorse in some ways.
The minute the show starts and the overture starts, and they say, "Ladies and gentlemen, Wayne Newton," any problem that I've had that day is gone. It's like a catharsis in some ways.
KING: Is the Stardust your room -- it's the Wayne Newton's room, and my wife's opened for Don Rickles there.
NEWTON: And, by the way, incredible talent she is.
KING: Thank you.
NEWTON: Yes. Yes.
KING: But is that your room?
NEWTON: Yes, it is.
KING: So you have a...
NEWTON: Actually, it's named after me. I don't really control it totally. I name some of the acts that go in there. And then others that are in there I don't have anything to do with.
KING: But they named the room after you?
NEWTON: Yes, they did.
KING: It's sort of like a tribute?
NEWTON: I think so. And also, it means they wish to have us come over there, I think, which is a terribly great compliment.
KING: He's the head man at the USO, a post Bob Hope used to have. Not bad. He's Las Vegas' "Mr. Entertainer," entertainer of the year in Las Vegas, nicknamed "Mr. Las Vegas." And he's the host and star of the new reality series "The Entertainer," which debuts on the "E" network on Sunday.
And when we come back, your chance to talk to an American legend, Wayne Newton. Don't go away.
KING: How old were you?
NEWTON: Oh, my goodness. Probably 21, 22.
KING: You look younger.
NEWTON: With that much baby fat on, I actually probably lied and said I was younger, too.
KING: Was that the George Burns show?
NEWTON: Yes, it was. It was, I think, Hollywood Palace.
KING: You were telling me -- you told me during the break you were once over 300 pounds?
NEWTON: Over 300 pounds, when I -- right at the end of the Gleason show. Right there, in fact. And Mr. Gleason sent me to his tailor, because he thought if anybody understood how to make somebody who was overweight look good, it would be his tailor. So it was a tremendous compliment.
KING: Are Vegas audiences the most demanding?
NEWTON: Yes, they are, because they don't have anything in common with each other, other than the show. For example, if you're appearing in New York, Atlantic City, anywhere, the people in the audience by and large are from a general geographical location, fairly close. So they're comfortable with each other, they understand the same kind of jokes and all that. Las Vegas, totally different. You could have people from Europe, Australia, you know, you name it, in addition to all across the United States.
KING: Is Don Rickles the last of that genre of comics that still do the big room?
NEWTON: To the best of my knowledge, yes. And I hope he goes on forever.
KING: Me, too.
Birmingham, Michigan, we'll take some calls from Wayne Newton. The show, "The Entertainer," debuts Sunday night. Hello.
CALLER: Hi. This is Pam Wayne (ph).
NEWTON: Hi.
CALLER: And I would like to know how many shows you've performed in your career.
KING: Have you ever totalled them up?
NEWTON: The only thing that was ever totalled up was around 10 years ago, or 12 years ago maybe. They totalled up the shows I had done in Las Vegas alone, and that numbered over 25,000 just in Las Vegas. So I have no idea. And I'm not being evasive, I just don't know.
KING: You've also unusually held, still held an appeal with young people, right?
KING: How do you account for that? You don't do rock.
NEWTON: About 12, 15 years ago, I determined obviously as I was maturing, that so was my audience. And so the things that I would do on television and in motion pictures were geared totally to a demographic of a younger audience. And so, on our way here, I was standing in the airport, and a young man, probably 9 years old, tugged on his mother's coat sleeve and said, "mom, mom, there's that guy that played Wayne Newton in 'Vegas Vacation.' I thought that was one of the funniest lines I ever heard.
KING: And the jewelry, the whole stick, the whole -- there's a -- show them your hand, the Wayne Newton hand. That's a wedding ring that says...
NEWTON: This is a wedding ring that says...
KING: You're married.
NEWTON: Taken.
KING: Taken. And the pinky ring.
NEWTON: And that's from a dear friend of mine. I am the godfather to this gentleman's youngest daughter, and of course my wife gave me the watch. This is from Frank Sinatra. And this is a battle bracelet from Iraq.
KING: Let me close in on that.
NEWTON: The soldiers -- actually, weave these if they're in combat, they weave these themselves. And at the end of one of my shows, a young man walked up, took it off his wrist and said, we want you to have this. And so I have not taken it off since then.
KING: And this was from Sinatra?
NEWTON: Yes, sir.
KING: It ain't bad.
Aiken, South Carolina for Wayne Newton, hello.
CALLER: Hello, Larry. This is Beverly Cune (ph) from Aiken, South Carolina.
CALLER: Mr. Newton, I saw you about 17 years ago in Augusta, Georgia. And you were fantastic, and you look great now. NEWTON: Thank you.
CALLER: Do you do any more of these shows around the country?
NEWTON: Yes, ma'am. As a matter of fact, we tour somewhat extent -- not to the extent that we used to, where we'd do 90 or 100 shows on the road. Now, we'll do maybe a couple of weeks on the road with one nighters and then come back to Las Vegas.
KING: How do you balance your time? I mean, how much Vegas, how much out of Vegas?
NEWTON: Vegas, I do approximately between 30 and 35 weeks a year. And then I try and fit at least one or two engagements in Atlantic City. And then, as you know, the Native Americans casinos have become a big business in our country. And being half Native American, I kind of feel like I'm going home when I play those. So...
KING: Are you half Native American?
NEWTON: I'm half.
KING: What tribe?
NEWTON: Cherokee and Powahatan. And Powahatan tribe is Pocahontas' tribe from Virginia.
KING: On your dad's side or your mother's?
NEWTON: On my dad's side, Powahatan. On my mother's side, Cherokee.
KING: Why did they do so well?
NEWTON: I think probably it's so long overdue it's not even funny, when you consider what...
KING: We stole it fair and square.
NEWTON: ... what the government has done to the Native Americans historically. I am so proud to see them step up and step into the private sector, and contribute not only to their own people, our own people, but also to the states in which they have their casinos.
KING: Do you still have your array of horses?
NEWTON: Yes, sir. I have about 80 head.
KING: Arabians?
NEWTON: All Arabians, right.
KING: As just to collect? They don't all make money, do they?
NEWTON: Well, actually, we're hoping one day that they will. But my two loves in life are horses and music, or music and horses, and I couldn't decide which I love first, but I can tell you which afford the other.
KING: Do you show them?
NEWTON: We do show them, and we actually sell horses all over the world. We sold a filly (ph) to Brazil last year, and she won the Brazilian National Championship, and then she was sold to Saudi Arabia, and she just won the European Championship over there.
KING: Are the Arabians the best? Well, obviously, they're your favorite breed?
NEWTON: They're my favorite breed, because I'm not a spectator by nature. I have to be involved in it. And if you own thoroughbreds or in many instances quarter horses, you kind of hand them over to people and train them and you sit there and watch what they do.
That wasn't enough for me. And I also loved the look of the Arabian horse, it's a piece of art.
KING: They're the forerunner of the thoroughbred, though?
NEWTON: They're the forerunner of all hot-blooded horses as we know them. Quarter horses, everything you can ride.
KING: Longview, Washington, hello.
CALLER: Hello. Do you remember being a Lukian (ph) ranger at a Saturday matinee show in Phoenix in the early '50s?
NEWTON: I certainly do, sir.
KING: What ranger?
CALLER: I used to go there and watch it every Saturday.
NEWTON: It was -- when we left -- thank you for asking about that.
KING: Was that a kid's show?
NEWTON: It was a kid's show. When we left Virginia...
KING: The Lukian (ph) rangers?
NEWTON: Lukian (ph) rangers. And he was the gentleman who then, from his show, after being on that a couple of years, produced my own television show in Phoenix. And so, when people say Lukian (ph) ranger to me, of course it's...
KING: Now, what were you, dressed like a ranger?
NEWTON: I was dressed in a cowboy suit and did what I do, you know, played steel guitar and primarily country music then.
KING: Do you remember your first Vegas engagement?
NEWTON: Yes, sir, I do. In 1959, May 16th, at the Fremont Hotel.
KING: Were you the opening act?
NEWTON: I was in the lounge doing six shows a night, six nights a week.
KING: Six shows a night?
NEWTON: Six shows a night, 40 minutes on, 20 minutes off. And that...
KING: What were you paid?
NEWTON: My brother and I made a total of $400 a week. And we kept enough to pay our rent, sent half of it home to mom and dad, and enough to eat on.
KING: Your brother eventually quit, right?
NEWTON: He retired in 1970.
KING: He was funny.
NEWTON: He was very, very funny. And it was never really a calling for him, like it was me. You know, and I think that's part of -- in retrospect, that's part of what made him so funny, is he just didn't give a damn.
KING: You were close with Bobby Darin, right?
NEWTON: He was a brother to me. In fact, he picked "Danke Schoen," "Red Roses for a Blue Lady," "Summer Wind..."
KING: You were about the same age, I guess?
NEWTON: He was about 10 years older than I am.
KING: He was special.
NEWTON: We lost him way, way too young.
KING: There's you and him.
NEWTON: Right. And he actually produced all those records for me.
NEWTON: So all my early hits were produced by Bobby. "Danke Schoen" was meant for him to record...
KING: I've heard that.
NEWTON: Yes, and he gave it to me. So when you talk about fate.
KING: Wow. I'm going (ph) to tears. Wayne Newton, he's the host and star of the new reality series, "The Entertainer," on E!. He's also one of the business' good guys.
Speaking of Mr. Darin, here's Mr. Newton in kind of a tribute. We'll be right back.
KING: Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase. Was that fun doing that?
NEWTON: It was a ball. We shot most of it at my ranch in Vegas except that scene. That was done in L.A. I wasn't about to let them take those kind of liberties. She is a wonderful singer and Chevy is an incredible musician. He's a pianist. Classical pianist.
KING: Didn't know that.
NEWTON: Phenomenal talents, both of them. That was a ball.
KING: Michigan, hello.
CALLER: Hello. Hi, Larry and Wayne. I go back many years to the "Ed Sullivan Show." And I wonder if you still might sing "The Girl That I Married."
KING: Did you sing it on the "Ed Sullivan Show?"
NEWTON: I believe I did sing it.
KING: Irving Berlin song.
NEWTON: Yes. A wonderful song. I've had so much requests for it I bet I haven't sung it in 20 years.
KING: A pretty song. The "Sullivan Show," that was a big showcase?
NEWTON: It was a big showcase. Of course, as you know, he would let you do one song in the run through. If you do well, then of course, he might give you a second song, which lucky for me, he did. I must have done probably 10 or 12 Ed Sullivan shows.
KING: Appearances. Was television always as comfortable for you as just working the nightclub?
NEWTON: Never. Being on a nightclub floor, getting the instantaneous reaction from the crowd, even sometimes if it's negative, you know quickly whether you're doing something right or wrong. So, for me, I always, if you'll notice what I'm doing, even the "Ed Sullivan" shows or those that had an audience, I had a tough time remembering that there were cameras there, because I was so intent...
KING: On playing to the crowd.
NEWTON: On playing to the crowd.
KING: I remember once we had you on when financially things were on a rollercoaster with you. How are things now?
NEWTON: Couldn't be better. Thank God.
KING: You had some bad management?
NEWTON: The truth is I wasn't paying attention.
KING: Do you blame yourself?
NEWTON: I totally blame myself. This is called show business. There are two words. I just wanted to be concerned about the artistic end of what I did and not worry about the money. Well, there were people out there more than happy to have that happen. Thank God, things couldn't be better. I've never felt better, I've never been happier. My daughters are doing incredible. I am married to a beautiful lady who is an attorney. She said I could either hire a cook or I could hire an attorney. Well, I can tell you which is cheaper.
KING: You have a little girl right?
NEWTON: 2 1/2-year-old daughter. Right.
KING: Are Vegas crowds tougher because they're gambling? In other words they appreciate but they want to get out into the casino?
NEWTON: I think that there's some element of that but I think that Vegas shows were primarily for the non-gamblers. I think that wives for example were sent into the showrooms in order to keep them busy so the husbands could enjoy what they do, in terms of gaming. So I'm not sure that even though the casinos want the shows to end in an hour and a half to an hour and 45, I'm not sure it's totally because all the gamers are in there. I think it's probably a combination of both.
KING: And they sure come from the far east, don't they?
NEWTON: They sure do. We've seen such evolutions in terms of gaming, you know, when oil was at its peak, and before the terrorists and the Saudis were big gamers and then the British and the Orient and on and on, you can watch.
KING: What do you make of this boom in poker? Some of ESPN's most successful shows?
NEWTON: I have been asked to do some of those shows myself.
KING: Do you play?
NEWTON: No, sir. I spent my life in Las Vegas and I've never been to one of the tables. Never been to a slot machine.
KING: Never? NEWTON: Never. Owned two casinos so far in my life. Have never been to one of the tables.
KING: Got a fear that you'd be attracted or just not your schtick?
NEWTON: Doesn't interest me. I think the lounges kind of took care of that. By the time I was 21 and could gamble legally, I had seen so much of it and people trying to sell me their watches and their rings and their kids and, you know, anything else in order to raise enough money to get home, it just finally doesn't appeal to me.
KING: SO how do you explain poker's boom?
NEWTON: I think poker is a game that is played throughout the country that the guys get away, and...
KING: Now, women are interested?
NEWTON: Exactly. It's wonderful. Some of the best players...
KING: Show you the hands. The only way it will work, seeing how they play?
NEWTON: Exactly. I'm not sure I totally understand, which is why I have declined with courtesy the invitations.
KING: That's interesting. All your life living there and never gambled?
NEWTON: No. Never gambled in that way, no.
KING: What about horse races, sports book?
NEWTON: Never -- I've been to the Kentucky Derby and while there I did gamble on the horses. But that's maybe twice in my life.
KING: We'll be back. I feel sorry for you. Not over the tables, I'm not a table guy, but horses, come on!
NEWTON: Bring those carrots.
KING: "The Entertainer" airs on E! on Sunday night. He's a great guy. We'll be right back.
NEWTON: This is my humble sanctuary away from the cares of the world.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Your own private meditation chamber.
NEWTON: Built from the sacred rocks of the (UNINTELLIGIBLE) temple. I did have it sound-proof, so nothing can disturb our meditation.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I brought you another surprise.
NEWTON: I love surprises. Where is it?
KING: "License to Kill." Fun?
NEWTON: It was a ball. And what's even more fun is to this day, I'll be going around the audience at night, and people, ladies will say to me, when does my dress arrive in the room from "Vegas Vacation." And other people will yell out, you know, bless your heart, because that was what that -- the catch phrase was in the James Bond movie.
KING: Ridgetown, Ontario, hello.
CALLER: Oh, hello, Mr. Wayne Newton.
NEWTON: Hi there.
CALLER: How are you doing, Mr. King?
KING: Fine.
CALLER: You sang with so many entertainers. Did you also sing with Judy Garland as well?
NEWTON: No, ma'am. I never met Judy Garland. I am very close friends with her daughter, Liza. And...
KING: How's she doing, by the way? She's had her ups and downs?
NEWTON: She's had a rough bit of time, and -- but she's a survivor. You know, you can't count Liza out ever. But as far as her mother, I didn't know her.
KING: Back to "The Entertainer." When all these acts, these are all professional acts, and you say they're all good, how did they handle those who didn't win? They all get such exposure, they're going to get something, right?
NEWTON: It's interesting. I believe out of the field of 10 professionals that were part of this show, that without a doubt, eight of them will become stars, regardless of not particularly winning this particular competition.
KING: And the winner will be a big...
NEWTON: Without question.
CALLER: Hi, Larry. Hi, Wayne.
CALLER: This is Annie from Massachusetts.
NEWTON: Hi, Annie.
CALLER: Hi. I'm wondering, Wayne, with your great notoriety and I've seen you a million times, and your connection with the USO, would you have any political aspirations? I'd vote for you.
NEWTON: I love you, Annie, but I got enough problems in my life. I don't need that one.
KING: Did you ever think about it?
NEWTON: Not seriously, no. I am too thin-skinned to be a politician. And I know that about me.
KING: Why do you like President Bush so much? I know you know him so well?
NEWTON: I knew his father very, very well, or know his father very well. And of course, that was during the whole Reagan administration. And then, when President Bush I became president. And then, of course, when President-elect Bush became president, I worked for him.
I like these people because what you see is what you get. There is no hidden agenda. You know, they don't do one thing for a camera, or you or me, and then go behind closed doors and do something else.
KING: He is the same?
NEWTON: He's absolutely the same, and he's very comfortable within his own skin. And I trust him tremendously.
KING: You were close to Reagan, too, were you not?
NEWTON: I loved -- I loved President Reagan. And of course, I was on his steering committee when he first ran for president. And I could tell you many, many stories. It would take up another hour, about him as a human being. And when I was going through some of my roughest times in the '80s, he was coming to Las Vegas. And the Republican Committee called and said, you know, he was going to come to your house, Mr. Newton, but we think that maybe it would probably be better for him to go somewhere else. Well, I understood that, but it hurt my feelings, as you can imagine. And about two days later, I get a call from the same guy. And he said, you know, we told the president what we had said to you, and I don't think I've ever been chewed out quite as nicely. And he said, "I'm going to Wayne Newton's house, and get used it to, because he's my friend." And so that's the kind of guy he was.
KING: Boy. That's a great story. NEWTON: And you know, what it's like to come home and find the red phone in your office, because wherever he goes, of course, that has to be set up? But he was that kind of man. And so was she. She is just such a wonderful human being.
KING: The best, and so are you.
NEWTON: Thank you.
KING: I want to tell you that before we began, I asked Wayne -- I'll tell you about it some night, to do me a favor, and he moved things around to do it because he is a special guy. They don't come like Wayne Newton.
"The Entertainer," on E!, Sunday night. Keep on keeping on.
NEWTON: Thank you, sir.
KING: I'll be back in a couple of minutes and tell you about tomorrow night, when we'll be in Washington. Don't go away.
KING: We'll be in Washington tomorrow tonight, pre-inaugural night. Former Secretary of State James Baker. Liz Cheney will be with us. Other presidential children -- Chip Carter and Steve Ford.
He's there already, Aaron Brown, prepared to man things in Washington. Why don't Wayne Newton toss it to Aaron Brown. Wayne, Brown.
NEWTON: Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only, Mr. Aaron Brown.
KING: Wow. Ain't going to get that.
AARON BROWN, HOST, "NEWSNIGHT": I just got chills, but it could be that it's Washington. Travel safely, Mr. King, and bring your longjohns. It's cold down here.

Md. & IL students have some NFL predictions
The NFL is down to its conference championship games tomorrow, and ahead of the games, a few student sports writers have ventured a guess as to which two teams, of the four remaining, will end up in the Super Bowl. Here's a summary of how they see the games:
Tom Brady (Keith Allison / Flickr Creative Commons)
Jacksonville Jaguars (10-6) @ New England Patriots (13-3) — Sunday 2:05 PM CST
Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots was listed as "questionable" for this game, as of Saturday morning. "A source close to the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport that Brady suffered a cut to his right thumb during Wednesday's practice. The cut was gushing blood and required stitches," the NFL Network reported.
But if Brady does play in the game, Alex Jackson at the Lake Forest Academy in north-suburban Illinois suspects he might throw at least two interceptions, in a 27-22 loss to the Jaguars. "No one would have ever thought we'd be comparing Tom Brady and Blake Bortles, but with rookie running back Leonard Fournette, the airways have opened up Bortles, even without his best receiver: Allen Robinson," he writes in The Spectator.
At Bel Air High School in Harford County, Maryland, Blake Lioi has picked the Patriots to win it all, despite predicting that they would be hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers instead of the Jaguars this weekend. "With a great offense, I feel New England will have no trouble scoring," he writes in The Bellarion.
Minnesota Vikings (13-3) @ Philadelphia Eagles (13-3) — Sunday 5:40 PM CST
After last weekend's exciting finish between the New Orleans Saints and the Vikings, Mr Jackson at Lake Forest Academy has become a believer.
"[Vikings quarterback] Case Keenum has been too good for too long since stepping in for Sam Bradford to lose to [Philadelphia quarterback] Nick Foles, who has been consistent, but at a lower echelon than Keenum. In addition, Minnesota's dual-threat running game of Murray and McKinnon were big factors in the Divisional round and should take the same effect this week."
He's therefore calling this one for the Vikings, 20-14, after what he predicts will be another game-winning drive at the end, similar to the one the Vikings pulled off last weekend.
Mr Lioi at Bel Air didn't make a prediction for this game, because he had predicted the Vikings would lose to the Saints. Which they almost did. Except for that game-winning drive.
Regardless of who wins this weekend, special projects editor Alexia Ayuk, writing in The Talon at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney, Maryland, wanted to congratulate the Vikings receiver who caught the touchdown pass on the aforementioned game-winning drive.
"With ten seconds remaining in the NFL Playoff game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints," she wrote, "Case Keenum threw the ball to Stefon Diggs '11 at their own 39 yard line for the winning touchdown. … This miraculous turn of events is one that will go down in NFL playoff history."

Following a thrilling and successful return to regular conclaves this past year, we look forward to building off of that momentum heading into this next year. In 2019, conclave will be held September 20th – 22nd, 2019 at Veterans Memorial Community Regional Park. The theme for this year's conclave is "The Sky's the Limit". We will be celebrating 11 years of Section W-4N!
Make sure to save the date! We hope to see every lodge in the section having fun and making friends!
Here are promotional videos submitted by lodges in Section W-4N from our Areaclave!


Davis Polk is one of the original 'white shoe' US firms, a grouping that is broadly analogous to the UK's magic circle. The phrase derives from a type of shoe that used to be popular at Ivy league universities in the 1950s. Founded in New York City in 1849, the firm quickly gained some rising star clients including John Pierpont Morgan. Morgan's businesses became JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, which to this day remain clients of the firm. Today, Davis Polk is best known for its high-end capital market, M&A and financial regulations teams.
With revenue standing at $1.18 billion (£947 million) it's roughly the size of a top 10-20 UK firm, but its profitability is much higher. Davis Polk's most recently disclosed profit per equity partner figure stands at $3.75 million (£2.94 million). Recent work highlights from Davis Polk's team on this side of the pond include advising Comcast on its £26 billion takeover offer from Sky and acting for Natura on its €1 billion (£890 million) acquisition of the Body Shop from L'Oréal.
You'll work hard at Davis Polk. Those partner profits don't come from nowhere! Busy days get even busier once the New York office gets going around 4pm UK time. The average time trainees leave is after 9pm.
The firm's office is located between St Pauls and Barbican Tube stations. It's your standard grid of stainless steel and glass, and is shared with banks including BNP Paribas and Nordea Bank. One downside is that there is no canteen.
The social life at Davis Polk isn't a major focus of the firm. A trainee notes that "there are very few social events" while another adds "generally not a lot of perks in terms of socialising." As with many US firms in London, the main perk is the salary: NQs at Davis Polk take home a whopping £112,500. Another major appeal of the firm is that all trainees have the opportunity to spend six months of their training contract in Davis Polk's head office in New York. Students who fantasised about becoming a lawyer after watching Suits, take note!

Liberal democratic capitalism shows what it really thinks of self-determination and political dissent.
I just got of the phone with Josep Maria Sole Sabaté, my friend and a leading Catalan historian and public intellectual. He was nothing short of breathless as he described the helicopters flying overhead stated flatly that he was in the the midst of a coup being carried out by the Spanish State.
He wanted to get in touch with me and others "out there" because he was not sure how much longer free communication would be available to him and other out in the street protesting against he Spanish central government's arrest of members of the Catalan Autonomous government.
As of this writing at least six agencies of the Catalan Government have been the object of forced police searches and thirteen, mostly mid-level members of the Catalan government have been arrested.
The homes of two the leading architects of the incipient Catalan state, Carles Viver Pi i Sunyer and ex Spanish judge Santi Vidal, have been searched by police. The headquarters of the far-left CUP, part of the pro-vote coalition in the Catalan Parliament, has been surrounded by police.
The leader of the Catalan National Congress Jordi Sanchez and the head of Omnium, a major Catalan cultural organization, Jordi Cuixart, has called Catalans to come into the streets and they have responded with a massive presence.

Q: Uniform Continuity and Continuity Could someone please suggest a good way to check for continuity (using the epsilon-delta definition or maybe using some other method.
An example is to show that $f(x)=\sqrt x$ i.e. $f(x)=x^{1/2}$ is uniformly continuous on the positive real numbers.
Thank you! Your help will be greatly appreciated.

A: If $x,y > 0$, then $\vert\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y}|^{2} \leq \vert\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y}\vert\cdot\vert\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}\vert = |x-y|;\;$ given any $\varepsilon > 0$, we have $\vert\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y}\vert \lt \varepsilon,$ if in addition we have $\vert x-y\vert \lt \varepsilon^{2}.\;$ So taking $\delta := \varepsilon^{2}$ suffices.
Just in case you are not yet that familiar with an epsilon argument:
What the above says is that for every $\varepsilon \gt 0,$ there is some $\delta \gt 0,\;$ say $\delta := \varepsilon^{2}$, such that $\vert x-y\vert \lt \delta$ implies $\vert\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y}\vert < \varepsilon$.

I've been training for about two years and thinking about a competition, I think that my only main weakness is my front double biceps as my triceps look small, what exercises do you recommend to increase size on my triceps?
Hi Mark, here are some exercises that affect outer triceps: Pushdowns with rope, behind the neck dumbbell extensions, Dips, Dumbbell kickbacks, One-arm cable pressdowns, behind the neck extensions, lying triceps extensions. Incorporate three of these exercises on your triceps workout using maximum controlled weight for about 8-10 reps per set.
John, I have been working out five times a week and stick to a strict diet, the only problem being is that I like to go out with my friends on a weekend and have a few drinks. I have heard several conflicting stories on how this will or won't affect my training, could you give your views on alcohol please.
Hey John: I'm a 27 year old woman, will weight training make me overly muscular?
Hi Mandy, the answer is No, women generally cannot get as big as men. If you are very worried about this, just stick to low weight and high reps. Using this method you are sure not to add to much size. Weight training can be very helpful to women in that it will increase the total numbered of calories burned in a day. So don't be afraid to pick up some weights, it won't do you any harm.
Hello John, I have noticed that you're in condition all year round, could you please give to tips on how you eat to stay in shape?
Hello Colin, My diet has stayed virtually the same for the past 30 years; I'm a great believer in smaller meals but more of them. So...I usually eat three small meals and also add at least two proteins shakes in-between those meals. My diet consists of high levels of lean protein, around 45g per serving (chicken, tuna, white fish) and medium amounts of complex carbohydrates (potato, rice, pasta) and low levels of fats (usually derived for the protein). Consistency is the key here, as to follow a set diet will give great results, but make sure you stay on track as to cheat or binge eat will drastically diminish any results you have made very quickly.
Hi John, I saw a photo of you standing next to Arnold during some competition, how did you do against him in the contest and could you tell from the size of him that one day he would be such a bodybuilding superstar?
Hey Mike, the photo you saw was from the 1967 NABBA Mr Universe, both Arnold and myself won our relevant height classes, then we went head to head for the overall title which Arnold won. As far as noticing his potential well it was pretty obvious as Arnold was just twenty years old and already carrying huge amounts of muscle on a very large frame.

I'm so excited about this gift guide for all the women on your holiday shopping list! Instead of flooding you with endless gift guides this December, I'm simply doing one women's gift guide for every lady on your list. Gifts for women can be so hard to find sometimes, so I rounded up all the things that I LOVE to give, and would love to get.
Here you will find glamorous gifts, like this dreamy monogrammed handbag, Oscar de la Renta earrings (on SALE!) and the coziest blanket I've ever owned. As well as lots of things under $100 that are perfect for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, co-worker gifts and hostess gifts. Enjoy, and comment if you have any questions. I'll answer any questions that I get!
I personally think that the under $100 price point is the sweet spot for what to spend on a lot of gifts. You can get something really luxurious, and adorable, but don't have to break the bank. Chic pajamas are always a good idea if you ask me, and I love the idea topping the pj's off with a $20 eye mask and some cozy slippers.
If you don't want to worry about size, a glam pair of gold earrings or a pom-pom beanie are classic seasonal treats. I love this super stylish coin purse from Clare V., and this under $100 leopard clutch is sure to be a hit with any gal. I personally own this faux fur leopard scarf, and think it makes a great gift, that again is one size fits all.
For the girl who loves a monogram, may I suggest this round, blush bag from The Daily Edited. I love giving monogrammed gifts from The Daily Edited, and this monogrammed passport cover and blush travel case are reasonably priced goodies for the frequent flyer. A statement coat, like this checked beauty, is always fun to receive, and would look absolutely incredible topped off with this lavender faux fur collar.
For the shoe girl in your life, these blue and white Manolo heels are definitely a collectors items as they are limited edition, and only available at Saks. I really have my eye on these tassel earrings from Oscar de la Renta, and these leopard and leather gloves are a timeless Christmas gift. One of the most luxurious things I've ever splurged on is this leopard blanket. It's so incredibly soft and warm. I think it's a great sister, mother or BFF gift.
Little gifts for women are sometimes the hardest to find. You want something stylish, personal, something they will use, but you also are probably buying them in bulk so you don't want to spend a ton. In that case, I love this beautiful lemon 2019 calendar, and this American Flag glass Christmas ornament. These plaid and dalmatian slippers would be so fun to pull out of a stocking, and the Nest "Holiday" candle is always the perfect hostess gift. I love this bamboo tray for a hostess gift, and this palm leaf cocktail shaker is so chic for a stocking stuffer!


Welcome aboard, Trinity! It sounds like you have an adventurous little four year-old who is ready for all of the fun with her family!
I have some suggestions for exciting adventures that allow guests as young as your daughter, so don't worry. First of all, in Jamaica, you absolutely must visit Dunn's River Falls. It is the quintessential Jamaican experience, and there are quite a few adventures that include a visit there. Dolphin Cove and Dunn's River Falls is one adventure that includes this amazing stop and also allows young children. It is quite the adventure climbing those falls, so get ready! There isn't an age restriction, but check out the height information for this climb.
We loved the Cozumel Ruins, Chocolate & Beach Adventure. It includes something for everyone. I love that my kids got to learn quite a bit of history and culture of the area. My son was four when we took this adventure and he loved every minute of exploring Aztec ruins. Of course, learning about and tasting the Mexican chocolate is my favorite type of education! And everyone loves a relaxing end of the day at the beach club.
In Grand Cayman, normally I suggest a visit to Stingray City, but guests must be five. For an unusual experience, check out Discover Native Cayman and the Saltwater Forest. I visited the limestone rock formations there once, which was really interesting, but haven't gotten to the Saltwater Forest which is so specific to Grand Cayman, I can't wait to go!
Have fun planning, Trinity! As Ellie says in Up, "Adventure is out there!"
