    If you enjoy the ragtime piano player that frequents the 88 keys outside Coca-Cola Corner on Disneyland’s Main Street U.S.A. then you can get twice as many flying fingers for the price of one with the new dueling piano show at Frontierland’s Golden Horseshoe.

    LOS ANGELES — It was easy to wonder what would become of Lou Williams’ role when the star reserve began sharing the court in crunchtime with the superstar pairing of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who’d be capable of – and expected to – close games.
    Of course, three years ago, Clippers coach Doc Rivers wondered whether Williams would accept any role at all.
    Williams showed up for training camp ahead of the 2017-18 season at basically the last possible moment, unenth

    And it is with the zeal of the convert that she exemplifies what is best in us. Her north-of-England accent kept her out of Oxford, so she went further north, to St. Andrews, among the almost entirely unsnobbish Scots.

It’s a thought that’s occurring to plenty of music acts these days, given the way the major label music industry emphasizes singles and how streaming encourages putting out music in small batches.

    Don’t let the rain deter you from home shopping
    As counterintuitive as it may seem, shopping for houses in the rain is a very smart idea. And it can be done very effectively, as long as you plan ahead, packing and dressing appropriately.
    For starters, a downpour allows you to check a home’s drainage. Is there standing water in the front yard, back yard, or the side yards? What about on the porch, patio, or balcony?
    If you like the house enough to move forward, keep notes and even photos of the standing water to ask the seller questions

    Beware the federal “Grinch” during the season of giving
    It’s officially the holiday shopping season. But be wary. Your Grinch neighbor, the IRS, is sitting high on the mountain, waiting to pounce. When money or items of value change hands, the IRS often wants a share, and believe it or not, it includes gift-giving.

    A recipient of a gift does not pay income taxes on the gift. But the donor may pay gift or estate taxes. These taxes work together but are two different taxes, separate and apart from income taxes. A gift tax applies
