I have used a slingshot since I can remember but I needed a new one to keep with me while I was deer hunting. The P51 folds up so it is great to carry and I have used it for numerous hunts and it is very durable.
Super fast, adjustable, and a load of fun to shoot. This slingshot is surprisingly consistent.
Fun to shoot but also an easy way to keep unwanted pest out of the yard.
Very comfortable and easy to shoot.
The frame is very strong. The bands, of course, are a part that does break, but I got 9 months out of one with everyday shooting with the stock band.
Bought it for my kids and they absolutely love it. The rubber is strong and durable. Heavy duty and it has taken some rough abuse. Think it's a great gift
Works well for target shooting or pest control. With a little practice you will be surprised how well it shoots
Good construction. Velocity and range of projectile is excellent. Wrist relief makes repeated shooting more comfortable and surgeon tube life was impressive, it didn't dry out!

In the moment of Melodie Mousset
What is it about being between wet clay and its table? The table as I write reverses the direction of spin. A person – incidentally or not this person is a man (more, or less, on gender later) – this man again begins shaping the clay object, then delicately dipping his fingers in water (this last is heard and not seen), he subtly reshapes the clay thing (thing or object, NOT a vessel, I sense).
Is the woman, the artist, in a yoga position? Backward leaning Buddha? I see that her hands brace her, they grasp white handles (white and flesh are the tones of this piece) and I think for a moment of structure, and of the three legs in the Sphinx's riddle. The shape of the clay is sexual – a vagina and an asshole – and it also speaks of gender, though not much. The shapes speak more of life in general than of anything specific. Huh, I am seeing now the lip open, revealing… well the base of the clay looks a bit like the soft head of a baby.
Moving to another screen, I notice a brace at the woman's back – again in white, like the table. Wet sounds predominate, or simply dominate ( :
The clay sculptures on their white base look almost yranslucent, without being that. They are tubes and their openness feels fragile and also hungry. They look like sea creatures.
Accompanying the wet sounds are mechanical ones, hums and shifts. I watch as one thing is closed to make a small hole, then a nib. The hands once again press and touch and enter – here, not there. Yes. Mmmmh.

OverviewReplay Studios was an independent game development studio. It was founded in 2002 by Marc Moehring and Sascha Jungnickel in Hamburg, Germany. It was closed in early August 2009 as a result of poor sales of their long time project, stealth action game Velvet Assassin, released in spring 2009 for PC and Xbox 360.
Replay Studios first released game was the destruction and stunts focused racing game Crashday (2006). Its third and last game was the Vietnam War FPS Tunnel Rats - a tie-in acting as a prequel for the Uwe Boll movie 1968 Tunnel Rats.
The fourth known project of Replay studios never materialized. The disaster survival game Survivor was first announced in 2004 for PC, Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube. In 2007 the game was re-announced for the then next-gen consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) but was later cancelled.
Founder Moehring established ML Enterprises GmbH (now remote control productions) in 2005 and a sizable amount of developers went on to work at Candygun Games after the studio's closure.

(Masterpieces of American Fiction)
Based in part on the actual experiences of the author's parents (to whom the book is dedicated), The Brick People is the story of several generations of Anglo and Chicano/Mexicano families and their interactions in Southern California in the first half of the twentieth century. The principal clans are the Simons and the Revueltas families, representing the capitalist and working classes respectively.
The novel begins in 1892, with Rosendo Guerrero laying out the ground plan for the original Simons brickyard in Pasadena, California. The coordinates of the plan are based on an Aztec mandala, suggesting that the legacy of the indigenous cultures of the region lie buried under the ground. This idea is reinforced by the figure of Doña Eulalia, who identifies with an ancient oak tree and who turns into millions of brown insects upon her death.
Joseph Simons, the eldest son of Reuben Simons, the brick-making dynasty's founder, makes every attempt to keep his workers complacent. One of his greatest concerns is the worldwide increase in radical unionism. When a mass grave of Chinese workers is found on the brickyard grounds, Joseph notifies the authorities and orders that the bodies be burned so as to preclude any labor unrest. Joseph's relationship with his younger brother Walter is strained at best; he finds Walter to be arrogant and at odds with his own political views. A third brother, Orin Elmer, is a physical and intellectual weakling who is unable to participate in the family business.
Walter Simons is an "enlightened capitalist" who seeks to understand Mexican culture in order to make better use of his workers. On the suggestion of Rosendo Guerrero, Walter undertakes a fact-finding trip to Mexico, where he experiences firsthand the daily workings of U.S. imperialism under the dictator Porfirio Díaz. In the state of Chihuahua, he confers with William Randolph Hearst and other...

Official debut of my new book, "Pass the Nuts," will be Wednesday night, Nov. 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Herb's Tavern in Rocky River. Everyone is welcome. Books are fifteen bucks, two for thirty.
Herb's is a small, free-standing building at 19925 Detroit Road. It's almost a mile into Rocky River from Lakewood. It's on the south side of Detroit Rd. next to the bike shop, which is one block east of St. Christopher Church, to give you a landmark. Lots of parking around there, but not on the street.
Thanks to The Plain Dealer's Mike McIntyre and Michael Heaton for generous plugs. No doubt I'll buy them several beers. Hope that's not a NCAA violation. I'd hate to see them banned from post-season play.
This is a busy week. Tuesday night I'll be on the Les Levine TV Show and American Work Force Radio with Flash Ferenc. Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. I'll be on the Rizz Show on WKNR (850 AM). Thursday night I'm speaking at the Stow Library. Friday morning I'll be on the Lanigan & Malone Show WMJI (105.7) at 7:30 and Wills and Snyder (WTAM 1100) at 8:15.
I'll sign books Friday from noon to 2 p.m. at the "Only Cleveland Store," 230 West Huron Road downtown. Saturday's book signing is 1 p.m. at Barnes and Noble, 28801 Chagrin Blvd., Woodmere.
Saturday night I'll be at the St. Ed's-Ignatius football game at Brunswick's new expanded Stadium. For a list of all future appearances click on "events" on this page.
If you're still with me, thanks for reading. As Hal Lebovitz always said, "Hope to see you somewhere this week."

Gore's a special player already
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, December 17, 2006
Frank Gore used the word maturity repeatedly on Friday afternoon, yet he wore the glow of a man who had just witnessed the arrival of his first child. In a sense, he had seen a combination -- the birth of a grown-up 49ers team.
Gore raved about Alex Smith's poise in the final quarter of the Seattle game Thursday night and about all the possibilities tied up in those 15 minutes.
Then he said the sort of thing we've come to expect from Gore, taking his selflessness more and more for granted. "I think we're just young, and some of the mistakes I've been making and he's been making, it's just about maturity."
Gore instinctively placed himself on the same learning curve as Smith, and his comment qualified as the most generous spot in the NFL this season. Jointly, the two players represent the future of the 49ers, but at the moment, they don't belong in the same category.
In his second year, Smith has flashed brief pictures of tremendous potential. His game in Seattle fended off the panicky cries for Trent Dilfer to take over behind center.
In his second year, Gore has become one of the most feared and respected players in the game. If the Pro Bowl announcement Tuesday doesn't include his name, someone should order a recount. In Seattle, he pulled within 79 yards of the team record for rushing in a season -- and he still has two games to go.
If it weren't for some catastrophic fumbles earlier this season, and the resulting weariness of the coaches to use him in short-yardage situations, Gore would have a hard time identifying with any of Smith's struggles. He would have found a way, though. He's a very special player, in ways that transcend what happens when he carries the ball.
We've all heard the stories about how he cried when the team, as fully expected, lost last year and how he calls his coaches to ask what he could have done better in a game. We've heard the subtle change in Mike Nolan's voice when the coach talks about Gore, as if the words have to pass over a little lump in his throat.
His love of football, and utter lack of infatuation with himself, make him the ideal teammate. The only person in the game who could possibly find it difficult to work with him is an agent. Imagine having a client who never thinks of the game as a business and never sees his interests as separate from those of his team.
He makes mistakes. Smith makes mistakes. It's all the same thing. They're in this together.
But Smith, assuming that he fulfills the best promises of this season, will probably be around a lot longer. Quarterback is a dangerous job, fraught with risk. Running backs don't face the same hazards. They deal with the absolute certainty that their bodies will eventually become hash. If they retire after 33, they're lucky. (Jerome Bettis, as sturdy as they come, played in the Super Bowl at 33, turned 34 two weeks later and left the sport.)
In Gore's case, durability is a primary concern, not just because he is smaller than most NFL backs, or because he has already had an array of surgeries. At 23, he punishes himself on every play, and for now, the 49ers rely on him as much as they have ever depended on a running back in the modern era, adding to the wear on his body. The reluctance to use him in short-yardage plays might have hidden virtue, protecting his body from some of the most brutal assignments in the job.
The point of all this is: Enjoy Gore while you can.
With Smith, the long view is best. He requires patience. (Insert all the cliches about young quarterbacks here, starting with John Elway's rookie blooper of lining up behind a guard instead of the center.)
But the rest of the organization will enter a 2-minute drill this offseason, when the salary cap loosens up. The promise of an upgraded roster has been dangled in front of the fans for a while, and Gore's stature makes building a contender all the more urgent. The 49ers either do it properly now, or risk having Gore's prime years obscured by drab surroundings.
He is a special player. He deserves better.

Terror threats will not weaken France's resolve - Hollande
France will not allow threats to weaken its resolve against terrorism, President Francois Hollande has vowed.
He spoke out on Monday, hours after Islamic State released a video showing the extremists who carried out the November 13 attacks in Paris training, beheading and shooting captives in territory controlled by the group.
He said that it was because of the threat that he is asking to keep France in a state of emergency.
Mr Hollande imposed the state of emergency just after the November attacks which left 130 dead in the capital, allowing border checks, warrantless searches and house arrest without a court order.
The primarily French-language footage released on Sunday was apparently filmed in IS territory before the attackers slipped back into Europe.
The 17-minute video shows the extent of the planning that went into the multiple attacks in Paris, which French authorities have said from the beginning were organised in Syria.
The video was provided online by the Site Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi websites, and in it IS - also known as Daesh - also threatens to attack Britain.
All nine militants seen in the video died in the Paris attacks or their aftermath. Seven of the attackers - four from Belgium and three from France - spoke fluent French. The two others - identified by their noms de guerre as Iraqis - spoke in Arabic.
Seven of the militants, including a 20-year-old who was the youngest of the group, were filmed standing behind bound captives, described as "apostates", who were either beheaded or shot.
"Soon on the Champs-Elysees," says Samy Amimour, who was raised in a Paris suburb near the French national stadium, as he holds a captive's head aloft.
The November 13 attacks targeted a packed concert hall, a restaurant and cafe, and a football match at the national stadium.
French foreign ministry spokesman Romain Nadal said the government is studying the video.
The video was filmed before the men sneaked back into Europe and contains no footage shot by the attackers during the days of terror that began ended only on November 18 with the death of Abdelhamid Abbaoud, believed to be the leader of the attacks.
It was assembled from material shot before the men left for Paris, news video and amateur video.
The video did not specify where the nine men were filmed, but it was thought to have been in IS-controlled territory in Syria. Abbaoud is seen simply speaking in a room
One militant, Brahim Abdeslam, is seen at a makeshift shooting range. Abdeslam, whose brother Salah fled Paris that night and remains at large, blew himself up at a Paris cafe where he was the only victim. Salah Abdeslam is not seen in the video.
According to the anti-IS activist group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, Brahim Abdeslam and two other attackers were trained in Raqqa, the extremist group's stronghold and the capital of its self-proclaimed caliphate.
In the video, as in other IS propaganda trying to drive a wedge between European Muslims and their governments, the men say it is a religious duty to join them.
They threaten more attacks in Europe, including Britain, and the video closes with one of the militants holding a severed head, and footage of Prime Minister David Cameron giving a speech.
The text in English warns that whoever stands with the unbelievers "will be a target for our swords".

SimpleWars, as the name suggests, is a very simple war game. Choose from a helicopter, fighter jet, or tank (the other 8 are marked as 'Unknown', so you probably need to unlock them somehow), then battle the enemy on different stages. What I don't like about this game is the poor-quality graphics. Most of the missiles are flat, and the ground is made up of huge, green squares. Overall, this game is ok and worth downloading if you don't might the lack of good graphics and sounds. But if the creator had spent a little bit more time on this game, it could have been awesome.
I love this shit!
i cant shoot -_-

Firstly, this is an EXTREMELY hard post for me to make. I have been a devoted fan of Jennifer's ever since buying the single to 'If You Had My Love' when I was young. Ever since, I have been a devoted fan always buying her music, and movies. Last year, my partner and I were fortunate enough to be offered Meet and Greet tickets during the presale to Jennifer's Australian tour. She has never done a world tour like Dance Again, and it was very unlikely we would ever get to meet our idol again, or see her front row in concert. Tickets came to over $800.00 each with booking fees. It was by no means affordable for us, but we could not let the opportunity go. Meeting Jennifer, and thanking her personally for the impact her music has had was the ultimate experience, and well worth the sacrifices we made.
I am a University student studying a Bachelor of Social Work degree, and the semester has ended in Australia. Unfortunately, this means I have to save money aside for next semester and buy text books.
With the meet and greet in Australia, we were each given a personally autographed program from Jennifer.
I didn't want to post the program on eBay before making sure a BB member wanted to purchase it first. I don't have the time to post, however I do visit the board regularly. We have one of our signed programs framed on the wall, and kept the other among our collection. The program has never even been opened or looked at.
I am asking for $250.00US, which considering the program itself is hard to find now, and is rare ONO. This will include postage from Australia, and safe packaging.
I will sell to the first person who DMs me. Any questions, just post here. Will also include the meet and greet concert ticket and wristband pictured (sorry if the pictures aren't rotated correctly, took them from my phone):
For Sale: SIGNED 'Dance Again World Tour' concert program from meet and greet

Gluten Free Ratio Rally-Bread
This month I am hosting the Ratio Rally event featuring gluten free bloggers from across the globe.
We began a little over a year ago. Shauna(the Gluten Free Girl) and I were making pizza at her home when she introduced the idea of bringing together a collective brain trust of gluten free bloggers to develop recipes by ratio– learn more about cooking with ratios . Shauna went about recruiting those she knew to be capable bakers and many others joined in as the year progressed.
Since then we have covered just about every baked good topic on the first Wednesday of each month and now we are tackling the topic of bread. A loaf of gluten free bread can be challenging for the home baker but certainly doable once you learn a few tricks. I must confess though that I have become a bit lazy and opt to often buy loaves of bread from some great sources we now have today which I will feature in a moment. But when I began baking gluten free in 1997 these options didn't exist so I had to pull myself up by my bootstraps and figure out how to make good bread for those daily sandwiches the kids wanted so they could be like their friends at school. The bread is best when toasted and I still long for the amazing taste of a wheat-filled artisan bread but my sandwich bread is fairly fool-proof, affordable, and makes it possible to pack a sandwich lunch.
Healthy Flours Improve Texture and Taste of Gluten Free Bread
In 1997 I discovered that the healthier flours of buckwheat, teff, or amaranth with tapioca flour and brown rice flour made a pretty good loaf of bread back then. My kids' only restriction was that if I used buckwheat flour I had to use the light colored version from The Birkett Mills. Other widely available pure gluten free buckwheat flour is darker in color and causes the bread to have a purplish color—that was where the kids drew the line in the sand—no purple bread! Too embarassing at school.
Since that time millet and sorghum flours became available so we use them most often because we like the qualities they impart to the bread and they are a bit less expensive. Hats off to Bob's Red Mill for making so many great gluten free flours available to us!
Through all of my experimentation I have yet to find a great crusty loaf recipe for artisan bread. I don't get to see the recipes for the Ratio Rally in advance–I see them in real time on the first Wednesday of the month just like you do, so hopefully someone in our group has developed a fantastic entry in that category.
Gluten Free Bread You Can Purchase
Some great options for purchasing bread are Rudi's and Udi's which most people by now have access to through natural markets but some new entries are Canyon Bakehouse (available in Seattle at Central Markets) and Manini's (available at area farmers markets). Trader Joe's is contracting locally with bakers to produce gluten free bread too. The one in Seattle is ok but the one supplying the stores in Arcadia, California is pretty amazing!
My Entries for the Gluten Free Ratio Rally–Bread
♥♥♥ Here is a link to my sandwich bread recipe (feel free to substitute any healthy flour for the amaranth) and here is a flatbread that is quick to add to an evening meal: naan
My ratios are:
sandwich bread 8: 4 : 2 : 1 flour:liquid:eggs:fat
naan 4 : 1.5 flour:liquid
If you have any questions at all please send them my way and I will try to help you as you begin baking bread!

Great post and roundup. As simple and basic as bread seems, it's still posts some challenges for gf bakers, so I was glad you picked this challenge. Thanks for hosting.
Thank you so much for being such a great hostess this month! Your bread looks terrific. Great info in your post!
Mary permalink
I too draw the line at purple bread. I discovered that it's easy to make my own buckwheat flour by grinding raw buckwheat in my coffee grinder. It turns into a beautiful, pale, fluffy flour that's fresh every time!
That is one fine looking loaf! Bowchickawowow! I am picturing all the fabulous sandwiches and french toast I'd eat with it. Great job and thanks for hosting!
Your naan looks gorgeous – and I love the idea of holding it over an open flame! Thank you for being such a great host this month for the Rally.
What a wonderful round-up! Just today I have finally made a gluten-free sourdough that I'm happy with, after many, many flops. I have loved reading through everyone elses recipes and ratios. Awesome!

Storm Fears Touch Off A Scramble For Insurance
By JEFF VANDAM
Published: August 27, 2006
WHEN Dr. Terry Karnovsky, a dentist who practices in Queens, and his wife, Lois, moved to East Hampton, N.Y., three years ago from Tenafly, N.J., they insured their new house with the Chubb Group, the same company they had been using for years. When Chubb wrote up their new policy, the Karnovskys saw that their premiums had doubled. But the price appeared standard for the area, and everything seemed fine -- until this year.
Suddenly, as has happened in many coastal areas around the region, the Karnovskys found that Chubb was unwilling to renew their coverage. Though they did not live right on the water -- they are at least a half mile from it, actually -- the Karnovskys got a letter about three months ago from Chubb citing storm predictions for the Northeast as reason.
''I was just surprised that they would drop people,'' said Dr. Karnovsky, 59. His agent was soon able to find insurance for their home through another company, AIG, without a significant increase. The couple pay about $4,000 a year.
Dr. Karnovsky -- like countless other homeowners from the Jersey Shore to Cape Cod who have had to scramble to find insurance -- are watching intently for what might happen next.
The summer of 2006 has not been a volatile storm season to date, especially compared with last year, when Hurricane Katrina brought devastation to New Orleans and other areas along the Gulf Coast in late August. Earlier this month, the National Hurricane Center, part of the National Weather Service, slightly lowered its predictions for the number of storms to come in 2006. The center is now predicting three to four major hurricanes for the Atlantic Coast, down from four to six, and a total of 12 to 15 named storms. As of the middle of last week, there had been only four named storms this season.
But it is still the threat of storms this year that has led insurance companies not to renew homeowners' policies in coastal areas, including the Northeast, or to raise premiums and other costs significantly. Deductibles on wind damage in the region, for example, now range up to 5 percent of a house's total value.
Because so few homeowners seem to be aware of potential insurance problems, Howard Mills, New York State's insurance superintendent, has been traveling through coastal areas, trying to get the word out that the time to prepare for a hurricane is now. Some homeowners are unsure about just what coverage they have. ''Many people are completely unaware of the fact that nearly all homeowners' insurance policies in New York have very significant wind deductibles,'' he said.
Other people, he added, are simply dismissive of storm fears. ''They think that unless there's a palm tree swaying in the breeze and there's a ukulele playing, there's no risk.''
In February, a full four months before the official start of the Atlantic Ocean hurricane season, Allstate customers in what the company called ''catastrophe-prone areas'' of New York -- Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk Counties and New York City -- found their homeowners' policies were not going to be renewed.
The Vesta Insurance Group, which offers coverage in New York and New Jersey, among other states, is being liquidated and has canceled all its policies, sending thousands of customers into the market, many in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
''We need to dramatically increase awareness that we are in an area not only susceptible to a hurricane but long overdue for a hurricane,'' Mr. Mills said. ''There's a reason why companies like Allstate are trying to reduce their exposure. It's an inevitability.''
The threat is not limited to New York, of course. To the northeast, in the Easton's Point neighborhood of Middletown, R.I., Bill Armstrong collected his mail one day earlier this summer and learned that his insurance policy was not being renewed.
His home, a modest ranch house about 300 yards from Rhode Island Sound, had been covered by Merrimack Mutual; suddenly, it wasn't. Mr. Armstrong, 48, began a search for a new provider.
''I made some phone calls, I got some quotes, but only then to hear at the end of the next day or the follow-up that they couldn't take on any more policies for this area,'' he said. His insurance agent, Matt Kirby, found coverage for him, but the lowest-priced policy was $1,000 more per year than Mr. Armstrong had been paying.
''I didn't think I was going to get it for less, but I sure didn't think I was going to get it for $1,900 and change,'' Mr. Armstrong said. Now, he hears customers at the Atlantic Grille, the restaurant he owns with his brother, telling similar stories.
Mr. Kirby, who works for the Insurance Group of Newport, confirmed that the problem was not limited to just a few areas along the Atlantic shoreline. ''If the house is within a coastal area,'' carriers are probably not going to renew the policies, said Mr. Kirby, whose own homeowner's insurance was not renewed this year. ''That's very consistent for coastal areas on the East Coast.''
Insurance companies define ''coastal area'' in different ways. Some say it's within 1,500 feet of the shoreline; others say it's within three or even five miles.

Since Ron Paul is older than Newt Gingrich, when the civil libertarian announced his candidacy for President of the United States this morning he didn't do it on that new-fangled Twitter box, he did it like a real Amurcan: He went on Good Morning America. Great. Does this mean we're going to be bombarded with comments from his disciples again like we were last election cycle?
The 75-year-old Paul, whose libertarian views and outspoken criticism of American foreign and monetary policy has often put him at odds with the GOP, made his announcement on ABC's "Good Morning America." Paul is expected to repeat his announcement of candidacy later Friday at a campaign event in Exeter, New Hampshire, where he's also expected to receive several endorsements.
This is Paul's third bid for the White House. He ran as a libertarian in 1988 and for the Republican nomination four years ago. His campaign in the last presidential election raised eyebrows, thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of his legions of supporters, and thanks to his online fundraising prowess.
I'm not sure which part of the CNN clip that's after the jump I love more. Paul's stumped look when the ABC host asks him why he's running or that CNN's anchor says he announced "the old fashioned way" by going on national television. Because that's what Lincoln did, you know.

A woman went back into her house after mowing her lawn to find her television and iPad had been stolen.
The crime was committed in Lawford Lane, Rugby on Saturday June 21, while the woman was mowing her lawn and her children were going in and out of the front door, which had been left open.
A police spokesman said: "Please ensure that you close and secure your doors and ground floor windows, when you are working in your garden or leave your home unattended, so that opportunist thieves cannot make your home their next target.
"Please remain alert and on the lookout for suspicious persons, vehicles or activity around your own or neighbouring homes."
Anyone who sees anything of concern should call the police on 101.

There are some good names on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2010 nominee list. I'd love to see Genesis, Laura Nyro, ABBA, Jimmy Cliff, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Stooges and The Hollies get in. And I hope KISS gets in just so their army can stop yapping about it. But we all know that the best part of the nominee announcement is not seeing who you're going to root for, but seeing who got snubbed again. So while you won't find these artists' plaques in Cleveland, this mix has cuts from some of the best songwriters, musicians and performers of the 20th century. Others here have enjoyed lengthy, productive careers on both sides of the mixing console, while still others have performed such noble deeds as, for example, inventing the power chord. And just so you don't say I didn't warn you, America will become South Canada if Rush doesn't get in by 2012. Good luck to all the 2010 nominees, and to the folks on this list, for what it's worth, I think you're better than Madonna and KISS. So congrats on that! Fewer people may listen to this than will visit the HoF this year, but who knows...maybe it'll help. You certainly deserve it.

Descent is usually Mac's favourite part of flying, but there's an uneasiness deep in her gut that isn't helped by the spiralling turbulence of her return to the States. She'd wanted to come home, and Atlanta isn't it; but then, where is? She sits slouched against the streaky rain-peppered window while the plane trundles up the midnight tarmac, and when it reaches the gate she waits for everyone else to disembark.
There's nowhere for her to be in the foreseeable future, much less with any immediacy, and Mac's carryon is stowed a few rows down. It seems pathetic of her, after being embedded for so long, but she just doesn't have the fortitude to endure the courting ritual involved in getting to far away bags while the rest of the passengers are crawling towards the exit in a gridlocked shuffle. (Get up, sidle to the aisle, move one row down, sidle into it, stop, hesitate, sidle back into the aisle, move one row down...)
Mac's only been in the States in any tangible sort of way for about four minutes, but she senses that the time she'll spend second-guessing herself, when she finds a dingy motel room to collapse in, and the amount of time she'll spend immersed in the sleep she's waited two years for are going to be inversely proportional tonight.
She covers her forehead with a slender hand, sighs, and gazes absently at the moonlit puddles on the landing strip.
Her blackberry starts buzzing madly almost as soon as she turns it on when she enters the terminal. She stops walking to look at it, letting her bags, like her shoulders, slump heavily toward the ground. It's a number she doesn't recognise - but then, that describes most US numbers these days. She tenses a little against her better judgment.
"Mackenzie McHale."
"How soon can you get on a flight to Illinois?" Her gut lurches. The line is bad, and the voice is deep, a little gravelly. Mac glances up at the flight board.
"About four hour– hang on." She pauses, finally remembering to think, and frowns, pushing rippling hair out of her face with her spare hand as her head drops. "Hang on. Who's this?"
"Mac," the voice says clumsily, almost as if he's catching up with himself before he speaks again. "Mac. There's a panel on at Northwestern at 7:30 tomorrow night–"
"How do you have my phone number?"
"–and I need – I need you to be there."
The strangeness is overwhelming, and Mac's weary and stretched so, so thin; she is perhaps just too close to worn out to cope properly with this peculiarity. "Excuse me, and I swear I don't mean to be rude–"
"And, I mean, I really don't know what the fuck you're doing in Atlanta anyway, Mac, you've got nothing to do there–"
"Who the fuck is this?" Her voice breaks a little as her chest contracts. The airport is silent and clinically empty. There's no one to reproach or pity her.
"–but you need to be in Chicago by tomorrow evening, or I swear the fuck to God..." The inelegant voice trails off. Then, a little more softly, almost in a murmur: "Have some faith, will you? Go to Northwestern, and then come the goddamn hell home, Mackenzie."
She pauses, holding herself back from the shuddering that comes before sobbing. "Charlie?"
The line's already dead.
Mac spends the next two hours with her head in her knees, crumpled into a corner of the first disabled bathroom she can throw herself into. Her chest heaves and tremors with stabbing, palpable pain, and to say her stockings are dampened would be to seriously miscalculate the magnitude of the situation.
No one is ever comfortable with crying in public places, she knows, but to do so instills in her a unique and singular sense of unease. It seems to Mac just inappropriate; to cry is to forsake words, to bring into existence an expression of being that language has never – ever, in a hundred thousand millennia – been able to satisfy.
To cry is to acknowledge, on some primal and instinctive level, recognisable inherently to all humans, the failure of that very humanity to keep itself from breaking; it is to reveal boundlessly personal and sacred things to everyone who has ever lived, for everyone is a little too familiar with that crude and ancient tongue – the one language which fills the void left by age-old attempts to forge into the limited confines of words the ethos of an infinite people.
Mac wants to hide herself away in places that are only hers when she falls to jagged shards like this; there is something too invasive about being stripped so bare in places which are frequented by other beings. To know that other consciousnesses have existed here just hours or maybe mere minutes earlier, even if only fleetingly, is too much when she is so fatigued and far from wholeness. But in her throes of long-quelled anguish she finds sanctuary in the relief of being able to experience it at last; the Middle East afforded no mercy to the cracking or broken. Thrusting herself into a war zone in something that was neither misguided heroism nor escapism, but a twisted mix of the two had left her gaunt and fractured in a way that she hadn't been at all prepared for...
The shuddering of her chest fades to a still, dull ache after too long, and she sits for longer still, chin now resting on smudged and charcoalish knees. Finally she lifts her head, and finds herself drained of everything, leaving her feeling weird and light in a way she hadn't thought she could be. In the place of everything that's now absent, there's a small but tenacious tendril of stoicism lurking. She doesn't cling to it, because she doesn't have it in her to exert that much energy at the moment, but she manages to let the corner of her mouth twitch upwards without resenting or reproaching herself for it.
That's good enough for now.
A/N: You're tearing me apart, Mackenzie. (I didn't want her to melt down in a bathroom. I meant for her to get on a plane.) Also, gold sticker for anyone who picks up the two understated implications in the second scene! Next up, Northwestern...

Kyle Lowry dominated in just 15 minutes tonight. The Toronto Raptors point guard sprained his ankle in the first half and wasn't expected to return. But Lowry gutted out the fourth quarter and finished with 21 points (5-7 FG and 7-7 FT), four three-pointers, two assists and a rebound in just 15 minutes in the losing effort. Lowry's status is up in the air for Wednesday night's game against the Chicago Bulls. Toronto Sun beat writer Ryan Wolstat talked to Lowry after the game and he was hurting. Lowry said "he felt like daggers were shooting down his ankle." "I sprained it really bad, I just toughed it out tonight," Lowry told Wolstat. "It's really sore right now." Jose Calderon suffered a hip pointer after running into Reggie Evans. The starting point guard continued to play, although sore. He told Wolstat that he'll likely play on Wednesday.

Through Nov. 11
Studio Theatre
1501 14th Street, NW
Climbing the steep stairs to Stage 4 at the top of Studio Theatre's expansive complex, the smell of earth becomes increasingly noticeable. Not a bad thing when the ascent leads to a play titled "Dirt."
In British dramatist Bryony Lavery's new work about mortality and decay, dirt is everywhere: It's spewed from the mouths of battling lovers; it's what a young woman feels like when she beds down her new date; and it's what the lead character becomes when she dies. It also fills the floor of Debra Booth's spare and otherwise clean set.
Lavery's play tracks the lives of several characters but primarily focuses on Harper (Holly Twyford), a perpetually late doctoral student, who after an combative dinner date with her tightly wound boyfriend Matt (Matthew Montelongo) followed by athletic, angry sex, dies unexpectedly from chemical overload. Not a lethal mix of illicit drugs or a mistakenly ingested bottle of rat poison, but rather from lifelong exposure to the countless ingredients found in soaps, body scrubs and everyday household cleaners — all the things used to fend off insidious dirt.
Once dead, Harper's lingers in her apartment watching as her decomposing corpse becomes dinner (as she puts it) for myriad bugs and bacteria. Five days later, she sees her guilt-stricken boyfriend discover her rotting body; and later hovers as her somewhat removed, professor mother (Carolyn Mignini) grapples with grief.
The characters comment on the plot. This sort of direct address works especially well for Twyford who makes an immediate and strong connection with the audience. And because Harper is well aware of her odious fate, she engages in some terrific snippets of gallows humor.
Rounding out the cast are Natalia Payne as Elle, a deeply frustrated Julliard-trained actor/server who does breathy voiceover work on the side, and Ro Boddie who plays Guy, a former drug/sex addict-turned-Reiki healer. Guy relates to dirt in an entirely different way from the others — he uses it to grow plants. Imagine that.
As the in-love but clashing Harper and Matt, Twyford and Montelongo (both gay) play marvelously off one another. Their increasingly tense, disastrous date provides the play's most enjoyable moments. This production serves as a reunion for the talented pair — they've acted together at Studio before in "Faraway" and "Black Milk," and in "The Little Dog Laughed" at Signature Theatre in Arlington.
Because "Dirt" is a production of Studio Lab (the arm of the company dedicated to fostering the development of streamlined premieres), all tickets are just $20. John Burkland's emotive lighting design is top notch. For the most part, Frank Labovitz's costumes are spot-on street clothes. But Harper's often mentioned date dress seems wrong. Granted she's an academic, but still — what 30-something, thin New Yorker meets her boyfriend for dinner at a hip restaurant wearing an unflattering purplish-blue tea dress?
Lavery (also gay) is best known for her acclaimed hit "Frozen," a chilling three-handed portrait of a child killer. For several years she was artistic directed of the now-disbanded Gay Sweatshop, a London theater company that sprang out of the gay and lesbian liberation movement.
At two-plus hours, "Dirt" is too long. A little cutting would help, starting with some of those tiresome recitations of toxins, and an excruciating 11th hour speech in which Elle takes on the persona of a trial lawyer and sort of wraps things up. Also the show would benefit if director David Muse (Studio's artistic director who staged a riveting production of "Frozen" at Studio in 2006) pushed the cast to goose up the pace a tad.
Though mostly jokey, a little pedantic and often obvious, "Dirt" is not without poetic and poignant moments. The most striking of which is the image of Harper's lifeless body stretched rigidly across her favorite chair bathed by moonlight in an otherwise dark apartment.

Russian Choir Chooses Mason as First U.S. Destination
Posted: December 8, 2005 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
This holiday season, Tatiana Andronikova is bringing a bit of her Russian roots back to the United States. After having been the accompanist to the Moscow State University Choir for 12 years, Andronikova, now an accompanist for George Mason, is bringing the choir to George Mason to perform in two holiday concerts.
Andronikova performed with the choir, which has been in existence for 250 years, from 1984 to 1996. "I had always wanted the opportunity to work with this choir. They have such a reputation in Russia," she says. "I still have close contacts with them and have been trying to get them to come perform here for years."
The Moscow State University Choir, which was founded as an all-male choir in 1755, is Russia's most popular choir and has a rich tradition. The chorus owes one of the most remarkable pages of its history to the Russian composer Tchaikovsky. In 1872, he wrote for the university chorus the interpretation of the famous students' song "Gaudeamus." In December 1887, he also composed an a cappella song, "Thrice Blessed He Who Smiles" and devoted it to the chorus.
Although the Moscow State University Choir has performed all over Europe, it has never visited the United States.
Courtesy Moscow State University Choir
Today, the chorus comprises about 200 singers, male and female, and is one of Russia's highest quality amateur choirs. It is housed by Moscow State University, the largest university in Russia with more than 100,000 students.
The choir has performed in nearly every country in Europe. However, says Andronikova, "They have never come to the United States, though it has always been their dream."
And now their dream is coming true. This week, 35 members of the choir will arrive in the United States to perform at George Mason's Fairfax Campus in a joint holiday concert with the George Mason University Choir. The performance will be at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11, in the Concert Hall.
In addition to the Mason choir, the Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Ensembles will also perform. The program includes traditional holiday favorites, selections by Tchaikovsky and Glinka, another Russian composer, and Ukranian and Russian folk songs. Music Professor Patricia Miller will be a soloist on several songs, including the famous Russian folk song, "Kalinka," and the spiritual, "My Lord – What a Morning!"
On Dec. 12, the Russian choir will perform in a separate concert at 8 p.m. in Harris Theater. Selections will reflect the Russian influence, with songs by Rachmaninov, Musorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Kojlaev and Bortnyansky.
Miller, along with Provost Peter Stearns, College of Visual and Performing Arts Dean William Reeder, Music Department Chair James Gardner and Director of Choral Studies Stan Engebretson, was one of the driving forces behind getting the choir to the states.
"I gave Professor Miller a CD of the choir singing," says Andronikova, "and she called me the next morning and said, 'We must bring this choir here. Our students must hear them sing.' Everyone has been so supportive. It's wonderful."
Engebretson has also arranged for the Moscow State University Choir to perform in the Washington, D.C., area in various venues, including the Russian Embassy and the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Though the event is sure to bring cultural exchange to Mason, Andronikova hopes this is the first of many partnerships with Moscow State University. Other departments at George Mason, including physics and geography, are interested in pursuing exchange programs or partnerships with the Russian university. And Andronikova and Miller are planning a trip to Moscow to perform.
"This is not only a cultural exchange. Both universities hope to establish links to deepen this relationship to benefit both institutions," Andronikova says.

Between What I See and What I Say
An Exhibit by Colleen Kiely
February 6 - March 3
The Simmons College Trustman Art Gallery presents "Between What I See and What I Say," an exhibition of recent paintings by Colleen Kiely, running Feb. 6 - Mar. 3 at the Trustman Art Gallery at Simmons College, Main College Building, fourth floor, 300 The Fenway in Boston.
Exhibit hours are from 10:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Mon. through Fri. Admission is free. A reception featuring Kiely will take place Thurs., Feb. 23, from 4:30 - 7:00 p.m.
Kiely's last Boston solo exhibit, "On the Road," was shown at the Bernard Toale Gallery in Boston in 2003. In 2005, her work was included in "Pretty/Sweet: The Sentimental Image in Contemporary Art" at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Mass.
Kiely continues to search the cultural landscape, redefining the popular, the sacred, and the sentimental into layered psychological portraits. The artist describes her work as juxtaposing "the sentimental and grotesque, the absurd and serious, with each painting striking a different balance between opposite poles." Her small painting "Dog with Egg Hat" (2005), for example, depicts an appealing combination of elements that celebrate a personal, but iconoclastic subject. Kiely supports her pictorial content and her objectives by employing a wide range of traditional and craft materials which include oil, alkyd, acrylic, fabric and glitter.
The Trustman Art Gallery takes particular pride in having Colleen Kiely's work presented in conjunction with the College Art Association's February meeting in Boston. Kiely joined the Simmons College Department of Art and Music faculty in September 2005.

Attic Ventilation Questions and Answers
Attic Ventilation Requirements
What is the proper ratio of ventilation per square foot of roof?
1.5 in per sq. ft. Just make sure that the ventilation is installed so an airway is formed to remove heat through the highest part from the lowest part. Ridge vents and soffit vents work best for this. Also, it is better to have ventilation the entire roof length rather than the 8x12 square vents occasionally in the soffit.
I can't say if it's cost efficient or not, but my attic fan cools the attic a lot. When it's in the 70s outside and the attic fan has not run at all, the attic is too hot to go in. On hot days (80+) it comes on in the early afternoon and runs until about 6:00pm. When it's running I can go into the attic without any problem and it's much cooler.
Another Answer:
The ventilation ratios go according to attic floor size not roof size. You can go as low as 1/300 of the attic floor area (for attics which have a continuous vapor barrier below) to a high of 1.5 in inches x the floor area in feet. So a 1000 sq. feet of attic floor area would require between 480 sq. inches to 1500 sq. inches. That is a huge difference in allowance. I would go with the higher number.
One other thing.. the best system uses ridge vents and soffit vents skipping gable end vents entirely. The number would be split about 50-50 between soffits and ridge.

Tilton cop has been paid $24k not to work, so far
- Published in Local News
TILTON — It's been just over five months since Det. Cpl. Matt Dawson has been collecting a paycheck but not working at the Police Department.
Dawson earns $30.48 an hour, meaning he has been paid about $24,380 since he placed on paid leave.
Selectboard Chair Pat Consentino said yesterday that the issue is a personnel matter and she is not able to publicly address it.
