Honestly, it may have started out about a party about you, but it does not seem to be that way now.I cannot imagine planning an event that the guest of honor would not be comfortable at! Eating at a restaurant that you cannot enjoy their food, but are expected to bring your own, (and I really don't know that many restaurants that would allow someone to do that to begin with). I really don't think the organizer is thinking of you, but of herself and what she wants to do.
Celiac weighing in. If you explain to the server that you have celiacs, they can make you a salad on a fresh cutting board etc. you'd be better off to bring your own dressing though. Baked potatoes can be risky because some chefs roll them in flour first so they bake up with crispier skins, however you could always ask. You might as well get in the habit of it. Although many places have GF menus now, there are many more that still don't.Also, you'll be wanting to watch those cocktails as well. Best google them, many mixed liqueurs are not gluten free, and you'll have to make your own choice about whether to risk things like whisky- which are not gluten free, but apparently have all the gluten cooked out of them during the distilling process. Myself, I stick with rum.
I vote go to the drinks. That's the invitation you initially accepted. Then leave, saying you have other plans.The rest of the evening does not sound like it is actually in your honour at all. If it were, you would have been consulted about the change from cocktails to dinner and having a place that works for you would be a priority. Ps. Saw tootsNYC comment about bringing it up with the organisers. My understanding is that OP did and was told something along the lines of too bad so sad - maybe OP can BYO food. If that's being nice to OP, they need to try harder.
I notified the chief organizer earlier--see post #16, which includes her response.I find it difficult to see how exactly I'd be "thwarting" them.

The Hill: Power House
In the 109th Congress, the majority Republicans in the House regarded the Senate as the graveyard of their legislation. Many a bill passed in the lower chamber would go to the upper to die.
That meant the Senate had the power. It could say to the House, Legislate all you want, but this is where what becomes law gets decided.
But Tuesday's stunning House vote on Medicare, in which 129 Republicans were part of a 355-59 majority voting for a Democratic bill, has changed the dynamic. The Senate is jumping to attention.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) swiftly began the process of bringing the House bill to the Senate floor. One of his aides noted that the House vote showed "significant bipartisan support" for the bill and Reid hoped to "pass it as quickly as possible."
Not long ago, before anyone looked to the House for legislative leadership on the issue, talk focused on whether Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), chairman of the Finance Committee, and his ranking member, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), would reach agreement on Medicare legislation that could get 60 votes. The House effectively grabbed the microphone from the Senate.
A pattern of House initiative is developing, most recently with the recent deal on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It was in the House that the Democratic leadership decided to retain legal immunity for telecommunication companies in exchange for Republican acceptance of domestic spending being loaded onto the Iraq war supplemental funding bill.
It may be that the FISA legislation, the war supplemental and the Medicare bill all stumble. Perhaps they will somehow come unglued in the Senate. But that seems unlikely. They were delivered with aplomb by the House, and they do not look likely to be buried in the graveyard.
On FISA and the war supplemental, the Republican House leadership played a practical and important role in getting legislation done (as we commented in this space last week). But on Medicare, they ended up with egg on their faces. Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) confidently predicted that the Democrats could not get the bill through. As it turned out, he was crushed, with even his immediate subordinate, Republican Conference Chairman Adam Putnam (Fla.), voting yes.
Democratic leaders in the House have shown an impressive burst of energy, confidence and tactical shrewdness recently. With a rosy electoral result apparently beckoning them in November, they might be tempted to comment, "You ain't seen nothin' yet."

Gary McLouth, who grew up in a family of storytellers, has created an in-depth and thoughtful conversation between the voices of a father and son who serve as alternate narrators in his latest collection of stories titled "Do No Harm."
These nine fictional stories emerged from collaboration with McLouth's father, the late Dr. Sydney McLouth. Although collaborating on stories mostly meant they each had a devoted first listener to their stories, McLouth said the book is true to his father.
"I think he would appreciate the kindness in these stories," he said.
As storytellers, the pair came from different disciplines. His father, the doctor, was ever conscious of confidentiality as he pursued factual histories that led to a particular diagnosis. As a published poet first, McLouth admittedly explores the esoteric, dramatic and emotional aspects of human nature to craft stories for the public
Ironically, the tension between the two value systems led McLouth to develop as a fiction writer. "Because dad, the doctor, coded his provocative stories so that persons, places and often, things, had wisdom attached but very little in the ways of identification," said McLouth.
Biographer and journalist Paul Grondahl said McLouth's stories in Do No Harm are told in a totally original voice that "pays homage to the best of American realism." In his foreword, author Paul McComas references to Sherwood Anderson and John Steinbeck may be music to McLouth's ears but he vows to be un-flattered by the comparison.
"If you are tuned in to your characters, they're speaking for themselves and you can catch up with 'traditions' later," he said.
Do No Harm follows McLouth's "Natural Causes" and "Death and Other Frustrations," the winner of the President's Distinguished Dissertation Award at SUNY Albany in New York. In addition to his poetry, McLouth has published stories in magazines and journals, including Eureka Literary Magazine and the Minnetonka Review No. 4. He is the co-author with Arthur B. Shostak on "Men and Abortion: Lessons, Losses and Love."
As an association professor in the School of Arts and Humanities at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, McLouth taught magazine and TV production courses and interviewing for print and broadcast media at graduate and undergraduate levels. He now teaches at Edison State College and resides in Fort Myers with his wife Providence.
McLouth will be appearing at MacIntosh bookstore from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 13 to sign copies of his third collection of short fiction, "Do No Harm." He will also be at the Sanibel Public Library at 2 p.m. Feb. 27, where he will talk about where his stories come from and the writing process. He will make an appearance at Sanibel Island Bookshop in March.
"Do No Harm" lists at $15 online at www.amazon.com and www.tbmbooks.com or ask for it at MacIntosh bookstore. McLouth is available for readings, speaking engagements and personal writing consultation and coaching. Contact him at www.westmainpro.com.

LA Kings And NY Rangers: 2014 Stanley Cup Final Preview/Prediction
June 4, 2014 1 Comment
Players, head coaches and general managers of both teams met the media on June 3 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, where the players spent a lot of time analyzing their opponent.
"[The Kings are] a big team," said Rangers forward Brad Richards. "Straightforward, experienced, and they obviously don't give up. We've seen that over the last few years, and especially this year. You know that their will is there. We're going to have to get to that, and match that. After that, there's not a lot of surprises. It's straightforward hockey, and they're going to come. Besides that, we'll see where it goes."
"They're obviously a very, very good team," said Rangers forward Chris Kreider. "That's why they are where they are, at this point in the season. That's why they've had so much success over the past few years."

It's been no secret that Star Wars 1313 has been frozen in carbonite since Disney acquired LucasArts. But Disney may have finally Force choked away any spark of hope that this game would ever see the light of day, as they allowed the Star Wars 1313 trademark to formally lapse.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (via The Escapist) states that the trademark had been abandoned since December 23, citing that it was "abandoned because no Statement of Use or Extension Request timely filed after Notice of Allowance was issued." As in similar cases, however, Disney can revive the trademark anytime they wish.
Though the Boba Fett-led vehicle may never take flight, fans can at least take heart knowing that the motion-capture tech will live on in future Lucasfilm productions.

Southern Illinois University School of Medicine is engaging in underhanded tactics to remove about 240 of its Springfield employees from union protection, officials with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees said Monday.
�We�re devastated and very angry,� said Springfield resident Peggy Netznik, 60, an SIU certified medical assistant and scheduler in the department of orthopedic surgery.
She no longer would be represented by AFSCME Local 370 if the medical school�s decision, announced April 21 in a memo to the affected workers, is allowed to stand.
Penny McCarty, director of SIU�s human resources office, said in a written statement to the news media that the school acted in good faith and was abiding by the language of a labor contract signed in February when it notified workers in nine different classifications that they no longer are in the union.
AFSCME staff representative Erik Hostetter said SIU used a previously undetected �clerical error� that left the nine job titles out of the contract as the basis for removing more than one-third of the AFSCME local�s 650 members.
SIU�s move may be unprecedented statewide, he said, adding that nullification of union membership in this way is unethical, illegal and contrary to what the contract allows.
SIU employees � joined by some members from other Springfield unions � picketed outside the HR office Friday to protest the action. Hostetter said 200 people picketed, while SIU spokeswoman Karen Carlson estimated that about 50 people took part in the protest.
That same day, AFSCME delivered to SIU hundreds of grievances calling for the decision to be overturned. Those grievances were rejected Monday by SIU officials, who declared them invalid because SIU considers the workers referred to in the grievances as nonunion employees, Hostetter said.
AFSCME now plans to file unfair labor practice charges with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board and is considering court action to make sure AFSCME coverage of the workers remains intact, Hostetter said.
Local 370 vice president Lisa Hensley, office manager of SIU�s division of geriatrics research, said SIU officials are �playing the gotcha game� to take union coverage away from employees earning an average of $30,000 to $35,000 per year.
�We�re just disgusted,� said Hensley, 45, a Springfield resident.
Removal from the union jeopardizes pay raises, benefits and disciplinary protection for the workers, many of whom assist the public as receptionists and medical assistants, Hostetter said.
Some of those workers earn wages low enough that they qualify for food stamps, Hensley said.
Netznik said she hopes the general public supports her and her fellow workers in their fight.
�I�m hoping people are noticing the �little people,� � she said. �This place couldn�t run without us.�
The AFSCME local organized 10 years ago. Its most recent contract covered four years, was signed by both sides in February and was retroactive to July 2013.
The contract requires minimum pay increases of 1.25 percent for each of the four years.
It�s unclear why SIU waited until now to tell employees its interpretation of the contract, Hostetter said. He said McCarty issued the April 21 memo without any notice to the union.
In the memo, McCarty tells the affected workers that the union rejected a proposal from the school during negotiations that would have made sure their union membership remained intact.
AFSCME officials said SIU mischaracterized the proposal and the union�s response to it. Union officials said SIU�s memo contained �unbelievable double-talk.�
In reality, Hostetter said, the union rejected an SIU proposal that would have removed 10 people from the union.
AFSCME officials, in an April 23 letter to McCarty, said the school �is fully aware� that only the state labor board can remove union rights from employees, �and only after a strict statutory process is followed.�
The SIU memo and the union�s response are available online at bit.ly/SIUunion.
The school�s treatment of its workers threatens to compromise patient care, Hostetter said.
�They already have stressful jobs,� he said. �These folks are feeling targeted. They�re feeling under attack. The morale already is pretty low. That�s going to impact patient care.�
According to Netznik, workers� sense of solidarity is strong amid the threat of losing union protection and benefits.
�I think we�re all a little antsy, but we�re all backing each other 100 percent,� she said.

After games against Rochelle, Morris and Geneseo, the Dixon Dukes have to feel like they've seen just about anything a good rushing offense can throw at them.
Friday night at King Field, the Ottawa Pirates will show them something new.
Behind running back Michael Hermosillo, a Unversity of Illinois recruit, and a big and physical offensive line, the Pirates have dominated teams on their way to a 6-0 record, including 2-0 in NIB-12 West play. They have outscored opponents 224-46, and have scored at least 35 points in five games.
"Ottawa is probably the most balanced team I've seen," Dixon coach Dave Smith said. "Their run game is good, their special teams are good, and their defense is a big reason why they're undefeated. They have size, they're physical and strong, and they put a lot of pressure on you to not make mistakes. I don't see any weaknesses."
As good as the Pirates defense has been – they have allowed more than six points just twice, and haven't given up more than 17 points in a single game – it's Hermosillo that makes the Ottawa engine go. The senior, who was the NIB-12 West player of the year in 2011, is living up to the hype in 2012.
He has 1,189 yards and 18 touchdowns on just 103 carries, good for an 11.5-yard per carry average. The totals include a school-record 351-yard, 5 TD performance in a 49-0 shutout of Yorkville in the opener – and that came on only nine carries.
"He's got a little of both speed and power," Dixon junior defensive back Dane Schielein said. "He's fast and strong, has a great stiff-arm he'll throw at you, and is just an all-around great running back. This week, it's all about playing team defense. We have to make things happen, not just wait for him to come to us."
"He has great running ability, and uses stiff-arms and spin moves and change of direction and speed," sophomore linebacker Cody Mighell added. "Our job is to go low, wrap up, don't let him drag you, basically just slow him down so we can gang-tackle."
But Smith warns that the Dukes (0-6, 0-2) have more to worry about than just Hermosillo. Fellow wingback J.D. Bryant (31 rushes, 259 yards, 3 TDs), fullback Alex Hartman and quarterback Will Hoffman (12-for-27 passing, 217 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs) are also capable of breaking big plays, and the Pirates have no problem riding any of them to victory if necessary.
"You can't just focus on one spot," Smith said, "because they have a lot more backs to carry the ball. They run inside and outside, jet sweeps to the edge and fullback traps between the tackles. We have to be able to make plays all over the field."
Dixon's best defense may be an effective offense. The Dukes have run for 374 yards and three TDs this season, but it's a consistent passing game that may be key. Quarterback JD Gieson has thrown for 964 yards and 10 TDs on 82-for-159 passing, and has connected with seven different receivers.
The more complete passes and first downs Dixon can rack up, the longer the Ottawa offense is stuck in neutral.
But there's also the natural motivator for the Dukes defense of going up against a Division I talent in Hermosillo. Not only do they want to erase the 50-point performances by their past three opponents, but they want to prove what they've learned and how much they've improved against powerhouse ground attacks.
"It's about a legacy," Mighell said. "If we can play well and not let a kid who's going to Illinois have a big game, that shows the younger Dukes that they can do the same thing against anybody. We have to shake off the past few games, go out and have fun and do what we have to do on defense to get the job done."
Dixon (0-6, 0-2 NIB-12) at Ottawa (6-0, 2-0)
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: King Field
Radio: 1460 AM

Military Monday ~ Morris Goldstein in WWI
The following is from Ancestry.com: New York; Abstracts of World War I Military Service, 1917-1919, Series B0808.
There are several men named Morris Goldstein in New York City in this time frame, but this abstract includes Morris Goldstein's address at 138 Forsyth Street in NYC, as well as his birth date (April 20, 1897) and birth place (Yassy (Iasi), Romania) which confirms this Morris Goldstein as my husband's grandfather.
It looks like he spent about two months (the last two months of the war) at Camp Jackson, the army training center outside of Columbia, South Carolina.
As I have noted before, I believe he became a naturalized citizen serving as a soldier, but he is not the Morris Goldstein in the Fold3.com Index to Naturalizations of World War I Soldiers, 1918, who is a different Morris Goldstein who served at "Crane" not "Jackson."
The description of this Ancestry.com database indicates that records are held at the New York State Archives in Albany, New York. I contacted the Archives by email, but was informed that they do not have any additional information.

I listened to a podcast of Jane E. Wilcox's "Forget-Me-Not Hour" recently where she interviewed the head of the NYS Archives. He said that all the WWI records in Missouri burned up in the fire in the 1970s. These WWI military duty summaries at the NYS Archives are all that is left. Thank goodness for them!ReplyDeleteReplies
Emily, I listened to that podcast as well which is why I thought it certainly was worth a try to contact the NYS Archives. Yes, I am grateful I was able to find this index record!Delete
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Thank you both for listening to the Forget-Me-Not Hour. I love to hear that listeners are helped by the information that guests provide on the show.ReplyDeleteReplies
Jane, I am glad I found your show - you have such interesting guests and the guest from the NYS Archives sounded so friendly that I was encouraged to reach out to the Archives to see if they had additional information.Delete

The lights are on
It's not who Minerva is, or the content of her message that was so memorable, but rather how she delivered it that made Assassin's Creed II's endings one of my favorite moments in the series. We're talking about the ending of Assassin's Creed II here, so if you want to keep it spoiler free, don't scroll down.
After defeating the Pope and recovering the pieces of Eden that Ezio had been seeking, Minerva showed herself like a holographic Princess Leia to deliver a message. Much like holographic Leia, the message was not meant for the person who saw it first.
The cutscene begins with Minerva speaking directly to Ezio, but then she turns her gaze towards the camera, i.e. the player. Never in the entirety of the Assassin's Creed have I felt more connected to Desmond. It was as if a fifth wall had been broken. The fourth wall was broken when Minerva began to talk to Desmond in Ezio's world, but the fact that she was looking at me in the eyes, made it seem as though she was talking directly to me. Ezio quickly becomes aware that he is not part of the conversation, pointing out that none if what she is saying makes sense (a running theme in Assassin's Creed, I might point out), and she turns to him for a brief moment only to say, "Our words are not meant for you," after which she immediately continues her conversation with Desmond and I.
It might be embarrassing to admit that this whole sequence genuinely freaked me out. Seeing Desmond acknowledged in Ezio's world was a huge surprise, and also lent importance to Desmond. Initially he seemed like a filter for the Assassins to solve their puzzles, but after that moment, it was clear that Desmond was something much more. We're still waiting to figure out exactly how much more.

The other day on ESPN radio there was a discussion of which teams most deserve a championship and that got me to thinking about which athletes are most deserving of a championship. I'm not talking about teams here, but about individual athletes that you would like see get a championship. Who are those, whatever the sport, who have not won one yet but you think deserve to win one? Here's my list. There might be some hometown bias with at least a couple of my selections.
1. Willie Anderson: Loyalty and long suffering should be rewarded. He is one of those hard working athletes that you never seem to hear anything negative about. Plus he's never running his mouth. I respect that about him, as well as the fact that he was here through all of the bad years when he could have gone to a winning team earlier.
2. Griffey: It would be a nice ending to a HOF career, but I don't know what his odds are of getting one here.
3. Brian Grant: Just personal reasons here. I knew him growing up and played ball with him briefly. I've always pulled for him ever since the start of his NBA career, even though I don't care much for the NBA as a whole.
4. Peyton Manning: Will he be the Dan Marino of our generation?
Ok, there are a few others that come to mind, but dispatch just called me with another run, so I've got to go. Who else comes to mind and what are your reasons?

Callahan apologizes for coaching like Callahan
Callahan wouldn't specify where the areas in which in which he thought he sucked ass in his team's 21-7 loss to the Sooners. Some areas to consider: the five turnovers, starting five drives on the OU side of the field in the second half but coming away with zero points as well as completely abandoning the run when NU fell behind just 14-0 by calling 20 consecutive pass plays (way to not panic).
When asked comment on the situation, former Nebraska head coach Frank Solich - who was fired and replaced by Callahan despite never having a losing season - had this to say, "See, I told you motherfuckers!"
He then reminded the reporter that he's taking perennial also-ran Ohio University to a bowl game with the same 9-4 record at mighty Nebraska saying, "Suck on that, bitches."
No word yet on what was in Solich's drink which might have led to such an outburst.
14 comments:
If you have watched this guy Coach you shouldn't be surprised they played USC in the Coliseum and his game plan was to run the ball and he is supposed to be a West Coast guru, USC had just lost their starting safety the week before against Arkansas and had a true freshman Taylor Mays playing his first game, so don't try to burn him with the pass, let's run the ball against a pretty good run defense??? This guy doesn't want to win, or is he working for the bookies????

Good post. Nice change from the BCS stuff. It would be nice to see Ohio U win that bowl game. I wonder what Solich would "say" then.

I tend to think that this is a sign of Callahan's growth in understanding the culture of football in NE. After the 2004 loss to OU he said, "One game. One season." which PO'd a lot of fans.
Seeing him personally take responsibility for this loss, even though it is hard to pin it on anything he did specifically, is a sign of a good leader IMO. (Our QB threw four INTs all year and then had 3 against OU for crying out loud.) You better believe that his staff and players will be motivated by this.
I won't even comment on your Solich comparison because that was over 3 years ago. Callahan is our man. The program is improving. Heck, when was the last time we've been favored over a top 10 opponent?
- December 05, 2006 11:06 AM
I am also a Husker fan and thought the post on Callahan was pretty funny.
I don't mean to challenge the authenticity of the link with the story about Nebraska being a favorite over a top ten opponent, but everything I have seen shows Auburn as a three point favorite.
Real progress will be measured at Nebraska when they actually start beating top ten teams, who cares about the odds.
- December 05, 2006 11:22 AM
- Andrew said...
As an OU fan I rue the day when Nebraska comes to its senses and hires a real football coach. Until then, I will look forward to every OU/NU game with Callahan as the coach, if there is one guy you wouldn't want leading your team into a big game it's him.
- December 05, 2006 1:33 PM
Couldn't agree more. I still remember gleefully watching the Nebraska/Texas game this year as Callahan and Mack Brown took turns trying to completely blow the game. Say what you will about the Big XII, but at least we have some of the worst gameday coaches in existence.
- December 05, 2006 2:21 PM
I can't believe a Sooner would be running their mouth when their program is close to being placed on probation once again. Only at OU do they have such a fine, rich history of probations. It only fails in comparison to some SEC programs.
- December 05, 2006 6:23 PM
- Andrew said...
Running my mouth. I am just stating the truth. Your telling me that a Callahan coached team puts fear in any team (well maybe those D-II patsies he schedules), even a probation riddled OU would lick their chops to face NU with the Throat Slasher there.

Bill Callahan-1
Lloyd Carr-0
- December 06, 2006 1:00 AM
isn't this the same bill callahan that outcoached lloyd carr in the alamo bowl when nebraska was the biggest underdog of the entire bowl season?
- December 06, 2006 9:42 AM
And Callahan voted for Florida to play in the BCS game, after beating Michigan by a butt-hair himself in the Sun Bowl last year.
I give him one more year.
Husker fans want to see the power-I formation and the option again.
- December 06, 2006 1:53 PM
Bill Callahan has never outcoached anyone. At any level, in any sport, in any walk of life, it would be hard to imagine. I'm sure his kids routinely destroy him in Monopoly and Risk. Very bad.
- December 06, 2006 3:52 PM
Amazing how OU fans have such a fascination with NU and Callahan, thinking they know what is best for that program. I guess his remark about hillbillies must ring true a little and it bothers them...go figure. And Florida should be playing tOSU. Amazing how people threw a fit when NU and OU failed to win their conference and backed into the BCS championship, but now all of a sudden Michigan is getting screwed over and should have that free pass. What a bunch of hypocrites.

It was actually the Alamo Bowl there buddy, and you'd be surprised how many Nebraska fans are glad to finally have seen some change in offensive philosophy.

Story highlights
- Bryson says the June 9 seizure would be a distraction from doing his job
- President Obama thanks Bryson for his service
- Bryson was found unconscious in his car this month after two auto accidents
- His office indicated the accidents were linked to the seizure
U.S. Secretary of Commerce John Bryson stepped down Thursday, telling President Barack Obama in a letter of resignation that a recent seizure could be a distraction from doing his job.
"I have concluded that the seizure I suffered on June 9th could be a distraction from my performance as secretary and that our country would be better served by a change of leadership of the department," Bryson's letter said.
Bryson, 68, had been on a medical leave of absence since his involvement in two auto accidents in California that his office indicated were linked to the seizure.
The White House said Obama will meet with Bryson in the Oval Office later Thursday to thank him for his service as commerce secretary.
A statement by Obama praised Bryson's efforts to boost U.S. exports as commerce secretary and said Bryson has agreed to serve as a member of the president's Export Council.
Bryson's deputy, Rebecca Blank, will continue to serve as acting secretary, Obama's statement said.
Police said Bryson was found unconscious at the wheel of his car after the two accidents this month.
Bryson was issued a citation at an area hospital where he received treatment, said Lt. Ariel Duran of the San Gabriel Police Department. Authorities must still decide whether to formally file charges.
Bryson voluntarily took a breathalyzer test that detected no alcohol use, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department confirmed.
According to a Commerce official, Bryson was on personal time with no security detail when the accidents occurred and was driving his own vehicle. The official, who spoke to CNN on condition of not being identified, said Bryson was given medication to treat the seizure.
Bryson, who was driving a Lexus, rear-ended a Buick occupied by three men that was stopped at a railroad crossing in San Gabriel, said a police statement.
"Bryson spoke with the males, then left the scene, hitting the same car again as he left," the statement said.
The men in the Buick followed Bryson while calling 911 to report the accident, it said.
Bryson drove to the neighboring city of Rosemead, where he hit a second car, according to authorities. Police then found him unconscious in his vehicle.
Two of the three men in the Buick were treated for minor injuries, according to police.
Obama nominated Bryson to succeed Gary Locke as commerce secretary in May 2011. Bryson's Senate confirmation was delayed by Republican opposition. It came in October, and he became the 37th secretary of commerce.
A graduate of Stanford University and Yale Law School, Bryson served as chairman of the California utility company Edison International from 1990 until 2008.
Before that, he was a co-founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council, a leading environmental group that strongly endorsed Bryson's nomination last year.

Give them shoes, give them hope
August 21, 2012 | Chase Replogle
If you talk with Seth McCurley about the internship he did after graduating in May, be ready to volunteer.
His passion is that convincing.
McCurley earned a degree in Theology with a minor in Public Relations/Advertising from Evangel University. The combination proved to be a perfect fit for him and his passion to help others.
"I appreciate that Evangel is not a Bible school, it is a liberal arts university," McCurley says. "The mix of courses gave me a well-rounded approach to life."
The three-month internship was with Samaritan's Feet, a nonprofit based out of Charlotte, North Carolina. With the help of more than 70,000 volunteers, they have distributed an estimated 4 million pairs of shoes. Less than 30 people are employed with Samaritan's Feet, so the volunteers play a vital role.
For McCurley, Samaritan's Feet is about more than providing shoes, it's about providing hope.
"When you provide a pair of shoes to a child in need, their lives may literally be altered," McCurley says.
"The feet of the recipients are washed by volunteers before they place socks and shoes on their feet. We pray together with those we are serving, and the children are encouraged not only to dream, but to fight for their dream."
McCurley traveled to Peru for shoe distributions in June. The trip was a moving experience.
One little girl came to him to receive her shoes, but instead of telling him her name and shoe size, she wrapped her arms around his neck and wouldn't let go.
"She didn't want to tell me her information," McCurley says, "because she didn't want me to give her the shoes and be done. I just took her over to the recreation area and played with her for about 45 minutes. They don't get loved on like that."
A local woman brought the volunteers a gift of thanks, a bottle of their favorite soda, which in comparison to U.S. standards would have been like being given a $200 watch. The beverage was shared and savored as the valuable gift it was meant to be.
"The experience with Samaritan's Feet has given me such a heart for nonprofits," McCurley says. "I think this is where my life might be headed."
"The main mission of Samaritan's Feet is to spread hope. You have a little kid who is growing like a weed. You give him a pair of shoes, and in a few months, the shoes won't even fit. But to be able to sit down and pray with him, that's what it's all about."

Well, this will come as no surprise to OSNews readers, but as outlined in a recent BBC documentary, UK neuroscientists have studied brain scans of hard-core Apple fans and have found that their mental reactions to Apple imagery are quite similar to scans of religious devotees' brains when shown images of their iconography. The DigitalTrends article summarizing the finding singles out Apple users, but I think we all know that, RDF aside, this is not an Apple-only phenomenon.

Yes, I realize that but my point is that Apple fans are not the same as Android fans. They are both fans but for different reasons. What is unique about Apple fans is that they were indoctrined by a marketing department and their number. They are not a handful of geeks but a whole class of people and they don't have a philosophical background, just a brand and a leader.

The McPherson Optimist Club has adapted and grown during the past four decades, but its mission to serve youth and the community has remained steadfast.
The McPherson Optimist Club has adapted and grown during the past four decades, but its mission to serve youth and the community has remained steadfast.
Now celebrating the club's 40th anniversary, its members enjoy reflecting on how their passionate investments of time have reaped a harvest of a stronger community.
Striving for the national creed to "provide hope and positive vision, and bring out the best in kids," their local sponsorships, donations and volunteer hours have made a deep impact on the community.
"When you have a community where people can do those things, I think you can tell the difference,"
John Holthus, past president, said.
But the difference wasn't always seen so clearly.
The club began on Feb. 27, 1973, planted by a club from Hutchinson. Larry Thompson was the first president of about a dozen members in their 20s and 30s.
The group started small, selling light bulbs and Christmas trees, and only had the man power to coordinate a few projects. But even then, it was the Optimist's national creed that drove their efforts.
The creed has a number of goals, including being strong and enthusiastic, thinking optimistically and giving of one's time.
"I think people identified with that," Holthus said, who joined in 1975. "That's been the passion of the club since the very beginning."
The creed is one of the main reasons why Eldon Wiens, former secretary and treasurer, joined the club in 1974.
"The Optimist creed is very powerful," he said. "It's so positive and meaningful and a good way to live your life."
The McPherson club later grew to more than 100 members and has remained at that level ever since. While other state clubs have struggled, several of its members say McPherson's club is different.
"Nationwide the trend of attendance and membership in these service organizations have declined,"
Holthus said. "I'm not sure why. I'm not sure what it is about the people of joining age that they feel different than the way they used to."
But McPherson's members have indeed invested in the community over the years, and their projects have grown over time. Now they are known for their sponsorships of the community's annual Easter egg hunt, the girl's basketball tournament, the Mid-America Classic, and junior Olympics track meets, among other events.
"We were so limited in scope and had so limited resources when we started, that we had to pick something and go with it," said Rick Wilborn, past president who joined the club in 1974. "Now we have such an energetic group with a lot of different people with special interests that, man, we can do a lot of different things. It's amazing. You can see the benefits right before your very eyes. We've watched young people mature and grow."
Members said the group also spends about $10,000 a year on programs, such as Toys for Teens, the School Supply train and Heart to Heart.
"It feels good to be able to know that if someone really needs money, that we don't have to discuss it very long," President Jay Pavlik said, who joined in 1996. "If it's a good cause, we're going to write the check."
In addition to helping the community, the club members said another main reason they enjoy being part of the club is working with each other.
"There's a certain amount of synergy that goes on that provides the enthusiasm to work hard on projects," Wilborn said. "You get together with the guys you don't see outside of work."
A lot of its members are plugged into the community through other groups or clubs, and bonds are tied when members are working on a shared goal.
"It's the camaraderie you develop and the bond you get with those people, just knowing you're out there giving of your time with someone else who is willing to do the same thing — to help have a better community and to benefit the youth of the community," Holthus said.
The tight-knit group will have a special 40-year celebration Feb. 26 with special guests Mayor Tom Brown and Kansas Optimist leadership.

The votes have been counted and the results are in- 797 people voted in the April elections in Ford County. Voters represented just 5.23 percent of registered. Eleven ballots were provisional, and will be counted in the canvass held at 8 a.m. Monday, April 8 in the Ford County Government Center.
The votes have been counted and the results are in- 797 people voted in the April elections in Ford County. Voters represented just 5.23 percent of registered. Eleven ballots were provisional, and will be counted in the canvass held at 8 a.m. Monday, April 8 in the Ford County Government Center.
The results of the canvass will not effect any races, according to the county clerk's office.
"There were no provisional ballots cast in Ford," said County Clerk Sharon Seibel, who is also the county's chief election officer.
The results of the Ford City Council race ended in a tie between Andy Thompson and Betty Shearon, each earning 21 votes.
Since no provisional ballots were cast, the board of canvassers will decide by lot who the winner is, as stated in Kansas Statute 25-3108.
According to Seibel, a lot is just a tie-breaker. It may be a coin toss or the candidates may draw straws - anything that could determine who the winner is.
"We have invited both candidates to the canvass to witness the decision," Seibel said. "It will be decided at that time regardless of if they are present or not."
No other elections will be decided at the canvass.
The winners of the Dodge City Board of Education election are as follows: Brian Winter, Lisa Killion, Tammie West and Barbara Lundin.
West was re-elected for his third term on the school board. In a previous interview with the Globe, Winter said he ran to be able to give back to the community where he grew up and to help the board face challenges they're currently dealing with.
"We are a growing district, with an average of 100 new students a year and the district has done a good job using their resources to handle these changes," Winter said.
Lisa Killion was elected to her second term on the school board. In a previous interview she said she's glad there is a good line of communication between the school board and the administration. Because Dodge has some important issues facing the school district, good communication is important to Killion.
"We'll have to start think about adding classes and teachers soon," Killion said. "And making sure that there are enough teachers and resources for each student."
Tammie West was also re-elected to her second term on the school board. She said the board is moving in the right direction, and wants to do her part to make sure that continues.
One of the ways Dodge City is moving in the right direction is the addition of a new middle school, West said in a previous interview.
"I think the addition of a second middle school was a great thing for us," West said. "It gives so many more students the chance to participate in sports and other academic clubs. And when kids participate more, they care more, they want to stay in school longer, and they tend to get better grades."
Barbara Lundin was elected to her first term as a member of the school board. She is looking forward to starting her term by learning everything she can about the district, so she can make informed decisions.
"I would like to get more involved in all the schools," Lundin said, "so I can better communicate the concerns of students and teachers."
Lundin also plans to learn from the experience of current board members.
"I have a lot to learn, I know," Lundin said, "but I'm excited to start working."

UNDP projects boosts efforts in the field of climate change and water management in TurkmenistanApr 14, 2014
Water scarcity and its quality, as well as efficient management of available water resources are among the most critical issues to be addressed for sustainable development of Turkmenistan.
The annual reserve volume of inland water resources per capita in Turkmenistan is 232.0 m3. That is the lowest in the region of Central Asia. This stresses the critical importance of the issue. Almost all surface water resources of Turkmenistan (95%) are formed outside the territory of country. At the same time, the volume of incoming water flow to Turkmenistan is determined not only by natural factors, but in a considerable manner by human economic activities. Over 90% of water resources is used for irrigation, and the area of irrigated lands comprises about 2 million hectares.
The forecast of the second National Report of Turkmenistan, prepared within the framework of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, is that in the next decade the average temperatures will rise, and water resources will get noticeably reduced. Therefore, the improvement of water management in Turkmenistan, within the context of climate change, should be based primarily on the rational use and protection of water resources used in irrigated agriculture. It is especially important that the industry, communal services and other sectors of the national economy are developing rapidly, and their future needs for water resources will be satisfied at the expense of reducing of water consumption in agriculture.
The National Climate Change Strategy of Turkmenistan, adopted in 2012, envisages the implementation of a whole set of activities aimed at improving the quality of irrigated lands, re-equipment of the existing irrigation systems and introducing of innovative technologies in the land and water management. In this context, the primary importance is reserved for international cooperation on the issues of rational use and protection of land and water resources, and increasing the water and land management efficiency by learning from best international practices.
UNDP has been providing policy and technical support to the government's endeavors for improving water management within the project of "Addressing climate change risks to farming systems in Turkmenistan at national and community levels" (AF project) by Adaptation Fund/UNDP/Ministry of Nature Protection of Turkmenistan and the UNDP Regional project on "Climate Risk Management in Central Asia" (CRM project). The two projects adopt the approach to combine the demonstration of community-based water efficiency measures and providing policy advisory of improving national water legislation, in order to ensure the sustainability of the project results.
Three pilot districts were selected for demonstration of community-based water-efficient and climate-resilient projects. The pilots are located in three different geographic areas representing three typical agro-ecological areas of the country - mountains, desert and oasis (irrigated agriculture area). In the pilot districts, located in mountainous and desert areas, adaptation activities include harvesting and storage of the surface runoff waters being formed by atmospheric precipitation and gathered using traditional water collection technics. The pilot area located in the oasis represents lands with a wide irrigation and drainage networks. Water supply of this region depends on river waters, which in turn depend on the level of water content of the year.
All pilot districts are different in terms of water supply and types of agricultural production. That is the reason why the implementation of these projects envisages strengthening the capacity building at all levels, implementation of measures to ensure awareness of the importance of problems, and improvement of water management practices considering current and forecasted changes in climate.
Activities were carried out for climate risk and vulnerability assessment at community level in three pilot areas. With the participation of the relevant stakeholders the needs of communities in rural areas in adaptation and mitigation measures were identified and the relevant investment plans were developed.
Drilling two wells, construction of new and renovation of the existing dams and reservoirs, implementing activities for protection and rational use of spring waters, introduction and enhancement of drip irrigation for growing vegetables and fruits, as well as improvement of the soil fertility on the basis of production and use of compost and bio-humus are envisaged in the pilot mountainous area. It is also planned to carry out works aimed at reforestation for the purposes of combating soil erosion in the water harvesting area.
In the desert zone it is planned to construct new wells and conduct overall renovation of the existing ones, also to construct underground water storage reservoirs (sardobs) made of concrete or reinforced concrete, and rain pits (kakov), to clean and reconstruct surface takyrs (natural water harvesting areas) with the purpose to increase the volume of runoff waters formed by atmospheric precipitation. Fixation of sands and afforestation of moving sand dunes are planned to protect local houses and infrastructure from moving sands.
A significant amount of adaptation measures is planned in the pilot area of irrigated agriculture. In this pilot area, it was planned to carry out a whole set of hydraulic and agro-ameliorative activities including construction of new and reconstruction of existing drainage systems in the farms and those shared among the farms, construction of regulation facilities for in-farm irrigation systems, planning of the irrigated lands by application of laser technology means, establishment of field protection belts to provide microclimate and biological drainage for more efficient use of irrigation waters. The implementation of these and other adaptation and mitigation measures will contribute to a more rational use of water (reducing its consumption per unit of cultivated product), and in general, provide the required productivity of irrigated fields, and satisfy the requirements for environmental safety.
In 2014, taking into account the specifics of pilot areas, the CRM project plans to introduce new innovative technologies and train local farmers and specialists on their use by inviting leading specialists from peer and other countries. The need in such technologies was identified in the course of discussions of project experts with farmers, specialists and representatives of local communities. In this regard, there were planned the procurement of a laser land leveler and inviting the specialists to train the farmers on laser land leveling in an irrigated agriculture area; introduction of mini-greenhouses for individual households; training on modern agro-technical methods for fruit trees' cultivation in mountainous areas; installment of a drip irrigation system in the local school yard along with a training on water saving technologies and growing agricultural crops in the desert areas. Eventually, the implementation of the CRM project activities will create enabling environment for rendering consultation services and expert assessment of the adaptation activities planned under the AF project.
Within the framework of AF project, adaptation activities to address the needs of local communities were planned in consultations with community representatives, experts and farmers. At the policy level, a series of consultations, round tables, seminars and workshops on climate change, selection of adaptation measures, and application of innovative and resource-saving technologies for crop production were conducted to raise awareness of ministries and agencies, and local land and water users. Policy options on water legislation improvement with respect to climate change, socio-economic aspects of water resources management, and participation of water users at community levels were discussed with relevant government institutions to contribute to the on-going process of revision of the Water Code and its related protocols.
The activities of two projects are envisaged to contribute significantly to efficient use of water resources and ensuring the participation of stakeholders at all levels through introducing best international practices.Contact information

Retaining Moisture is Key
Although there are plenty of culinary creations you can make with a microwave, for most of us the microwave is all about reheating. The secret to reviving food in a microwave is moisture. A damp paper towel is an easy way to help foods retain water. Place one over a leftover croissant, burger or burrito, and you'll be surprised at how much better your food tastes.
Revitalizing Pizza and Sandwiches
Of course, how you reheat something depends on what you're eating. For pizza, try running the crust under the kitchen tap, or, using a microwavable dish, lay the pizza on a short stack of paper towels. Will your slice be crispy and crusty? Probably not, but it won't taste like cardboard, either. In fact, sandwiches can benefit for this method as well. A few drops of sprinkled water will make a roll or a slice of bread fluffy rather than soggy.
Invigorating Noodles and Rice
Chinese or Mexican food can be tricky. One tip is to heat the rice separately and add a bit of water before you microwave it. As for a chicken dish—like Kung Pao Chicken or Arroz con Pollo—you'll want to keep an eye on it, stirring every minute or two.
Even coffee can be refreshed in the microwave with water. If it's been sitting at room temperature for a while, it's probably bitter. Add a splash of water to cut the bitterness and pop it in the microwave—just be sure it never comes to a boil.
A good rule of thumb to ensure that you won't overcook leftovers is the "half-and-half" rule: half the power and half the time. Adjust the temperature setting by half; and halfway through cooking, flip, stir, or rearrange your food, so it will cook more evenly.
Containers Matter, Too
Just because your food was delivered in it, doesn't mean it can go in the microwave. Never reheat food in metal or aluminium foil, and recent health studies have advised against heating plastic containers or plastic wrap. However, a glass plate is always a safe bet.
Try these tips and tricks and you'll be surprised at how much better your food—or coffee—tastes.

Salem Witch Museum News
"Sounds Like Salem" - Guest Blogger, Cathy Hutchison[singlepic id=36 w=300 h=300 float=right]How lucky we are to have visitors who are passionate about the subject of human rights and witch hunts. The talented Texas resident Cathy Hutchison of the "random Cathy..." blog caught my eye recently when she wrote about the treatment of immigrants in our country today. Check out her full post at: random Cathy... Sounds Like Salem I love that she quotes from the The New Colossus, the 1883 sonnet by Emma Lazarus which is mounted on a bronze plaque inside the Statue of Liberty: Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" We thank Cathy for her tolerance and insight and for allowing us to share her blog.

The Devil of Great Island: Witchcraft & Conflict in Early New England[singlepic id=31 w=200 h=200 float=left]This past Thursday evening we enjoyed the second fascinating lecture hosted by Gordon College at Old Town Hall. Dr. Emerson "Tad" Baker discussed his book The Devil of Great Island: Witchcraft & Conflict in Early New England, introducing the work as a unique look at New England witchcraft that does not focus on Salem. Dr. Baker has been a historical archeologist as well as a museum director and is currently a public historian and professor at Salem State College. Ten years before the Salem outbreak, in a place called Great Island (today New Castle) near Portsmouth, NH, there were reported incidents of "lithobolia." Though educated men of the day knew Greek and Latin and would have been familiar with the term, I needed translation: stone-throwing of the Devil. Hundreds of flying stones, some as heavy as eight pounds, beset the tavern owned by George and Alice Walton for several months, yet no one had ever seen anyone throwing them. These occurrences, as many other inexplicable events at that time, were perceived as acts of witchcraft. When we look further into the details, the first to come into view are the relationships and territorial boundaries between the key individuals of the story. I don't want to give away the delicious unfolding of the narrative, so I'll share only that the Waltons had been in land disputes with neighbor Hanna Jones, who was accused of being a witch. There had also been infighting in the vicinity about the establishment of a separate meeting house in which to worship. Although Dr. Emerson explores this history north of Mass Bay Colony, he does acknowledge that, "…when it comes to witchcraft in early New England, all roads eventually lead to Salem." In fact, it seems as though there are many common factors between Great Island and Salem. Neighbors disagreeing over territorial margins were certainly a dynamic that set the stage for the Salem witchcraft accusations. Uncannily, heated debates about an independent meeting house in Salem Village were significant to conditions that allowed the events to unfold as they did in 1692. If you're as interested in the environment and events leading to the Salem Witchcraft Trials as I am, next week's post will be dedicated to the aspect of territorial disputes in Salem Village prior to the eruption of witchcraft accusations. Stay tuned…

A pair of heated Eastern Conference rivals will clash on Sunday as the Philadelphia Union welcome the New York Red Bulls to PPL Park.
Philadelphia is coming off an extensive break from league play and finds itself in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race at the midpoint of the season.
In the Union's last league match against Columbus Crew on June 5, the Union put together their most complete 90-minute performance of the season in a comfortable 3-0 victory at PPL Park.
Philadelphia got off the mark in the 25th minute against the Crew with a bit of good fortune as a long distance shot from Brian Carroll took a deflection and wound up in the back of the net.
Four minutes later it was 2-0 for the Union when Carroll flicked one toward the back post on a corner kick and Sheanon Williams was there to volley it home with an acrobatic finish.
And just three minutes after that, the Union completed the rout when Sebastien Le Toux sent a low cross toward the near post and Conor Casey finished with a diving header.
"We were due one of these games," said Union manager John Hackworth. "Our coaching staff felt like [this] was going to happen one way or another, sooner or later. Glad it happened in a game as important as this one. You get a little bit of a break now and maybe that gets a little bit of pressure off us."
New York is also coming off a break in its MLS schedule, having not played a league match since a 2-1 loss at home to the Vancouver Whitecaps on June 1.
New York got on the board first in the 51st minute via an own goal from Greg Klasura, but Jordan Harvey put the sides back on level terms with a goal seven minutes later.
But Vancouver grabbed the winner seven minutes from time when Kenny Miller nodded home a cross from Russell Teibert to assure three points for his club and put an end to the Red Bulls' seven-match unbeaten run.
New York heads into Sunday's pivotal Eastern Conference battle without two of their top players in the midfield Tim Cahill will miss the match due to a groin injury, while Juninho will be unavailable due to yellow card accumulation.
"He���s not going to be here this weekend," New York head coach Mike Petke said of Cahill's status on Friday. "He���s got a family emergency and a little bit of a groin strain, little bit of one, or a groin issue."
A win for New York would give the club some cushion in second place, while a win for the Union would pull them even on points with the Red Bulls.
In eight all-time meetings between the sides, New York has dominated the series, posting a 6-2-0 mark against the Union. Philadelphia's last win against the Red Bulls came in 2011 when a lone tally from Roger Torres lifted the Union to a 1-0 result at PPL Park.

ROCHESTER — In its first indoor concert now allowed with their new fire-sprinkler system, The Governor's Inn will stage a five-band SKA music festival from the ballroom stage on Saturday, April 27.
Featured bands include Inspector 7, Stray Bullets, Ball Busterz, El Grande, and Freeze Up.
Ska music is often said to be a combination of reggae and English Beat. It is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the precursor to rock steady and reggae. Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the upbeat. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods. Ska music became most popular in the US during the early and mid 1990s during its third wave transformation.
One of the bands, El Grande, is Portland's longest running ska band, a high-octane 8-piece performance picking up cues from and the slack between visits of the wildly popular Boston third wave Ska band 'Bim Skala Bim'.
The featured act of The Governor's Inn festival will be Inspecter 7, a 9-piece American ska band formed in 1992 in New Jersey. The band became a fixture in the ska scene in New York City throughout the mid-90s. They originally played shows as Agent 86 until they renamed themselves Inspecter 7. After releasing an album on Moon Ska Records and appearing on several compilation albums, the band signed to NYC record label Radical Records and began extensive East Coast touring. Soon thereafter they released their first full-length album, 'The Infamous,' and began touring nationally. Over the years, they shared the stage with other national ska acts including Bad Manners, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Mephiskapheles, and The Skatalites. In 2013, they released their third full-length album, 'Escapes and Illusions' which Inspecter 7 will have available for sale at The Governor's Inn.
Tickets for all five bands are only $10. Doors open at 6 p.m., and food will be available. More information and band links are posted on www.governorsinn.com. Tickets are on sale at The Governor's Inn or by calling 603-332-0107.

If you want to show respect, then a box of cigars and a really decent malt whisky should do the job. If I was the head honcho of any state, then I'd far rather them than a 90 degree angle bow.
I tell you what, I bet the Emperor of Japan would have preferred a nice inlaid wooden box containing fifty Partegas maduras and a bottle of 20yo Lagavullen than some muppet doing a deep bow.
I bloody well would, too. The bow is like when your boss thanks you instead of paying you more. Fucking useless and humiliating to both parties.

Win a "Formigli" Frame
The contest is open to USA citizens, no purchase necessary. Read rules here.
From www.formigliusa.com:
"Renzo's Formigli's passion for cycling runs in his blood. His grandfather, father and brother were all professional cyclists. When Renzo was 12 years old, before and after school, he would linger at the bicycle shop in his home town of Florence, Italy. Through listening to builders he began to understand the mechanics of a bicycle. At the age of 19 Renzo met the man that would forever change his life. By luck, Renzo befriended Cino Cinelli, one of the most famous builders in the world of handmade frames. It was through Mr. Cinelli that Renzo learned the art of hand crafting racing frames. In 1990 Renzo created Formigli cycles with the mission to use modern technologies to re-create the custom, hand made frames that are the legend of Italian frame construction. Like an old fashion tailor, Renzo Formigli has perfected the art of custom frames built through his own proprietary process. Formigli frames are one of a kind and the highest quality racing frames available on the market."
Read how Formigli has come to establish a subsidiary in the USA, here.
Stories for the Italian Cycling Journal about rides, granfondos, having a good time cycling in Italy, Italian cycling history, etc. are very welcome. Contact me at email@example.com. There are more than 1,500 stories in this blog. The search feature to the right works best for finding subjects in the blog and there is also a translate button at the bottom so you can translate each page.

After his band the Bad Plus worked through an exhilarating 45-minute passage of music Friday night, bassist Reid Anderson deadpanned into a microphone, "That was a song by Igor Stravinsky called 'Rite of Spring.' "
As if the sold-out crowd giving the Bad Plus a standing ovation in the theater at the Institute of Contemporary Art needed reminding.
Playing seriously but not being stuffy about it is part of the Bad Plus's allure. Sure the Bad Plus chose "an important work" to perform when Duke University commissioned the jazz trio to create a long-form piece, but the Boston premiere of "On Sacred Ground: Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' " was as psychedelic as it was lofty. Impressionistic films and mood-accentuating lighting enhanced the performance which itself ran from manic to mournful.
At the first of their two ICA concerts, pianist Ethan Iverson, drummer David King, and Reid arrived on a dimly lit stage and sandwiched between two projection screens. Blurry pastoral images flashed in stereo — in front of and behind the musicians — as scratchy orchestral recordings mixed into the introductory music.
When the front screen pulled away after a few minutes, the action took off with Iverson, Reid, and King engaging in dramatic, dynamic swells and lulls that rivaled a fully orchestrated airing of the work. The demands of "Rite" showcased not only the skills of the individual players but also the chemistry and cohesiveness of the Bad Plus itself. Each musician at times played in the forefront, and there were several ensemble forays that found Reid, Iverson, and King running amok before returning to a common ground within a bass note's thump.
The Bad Plus's interpretation worked on many levels. Placing an emphasis on rhythm and tempo, the trio accentuated how "Rite" is as much a dance piece as it is a listening one. And the band connected Stravinsky's modernism to its descendents. "Rhapsody in Blue," for instance, seemed to echo from parts of the "Sacrifice" movements as crafted by the Bad Plus.
The link from past to present was even more apparent when the Bad Plus played songs from "Made Possible," its most recent record, after the "Sacred Ground" portion of the concert. In its own work, the Bad Plus crafted thematic sweeps and moments of tension with the same sort of colorful juxtapositions found in "Rite."Scott McLennan can be reached at smclennan1010@gmail

It's pretty bizarre to me that, as notorious as the film "Audition" is, I'd somehow I'd made it this long without either watching it or even so much as hearing any of the specifics of the movie. In fact the only thing I'd really known about this movie is that it was one of the films that helped inspire "Hostel," thereby helping to launch the "torture-porn" craze in horror here in the States.
There are a lot of low-budget horror movies that are light on plot and character development, but few take it to such extremes as 2011's "Orphan Killer." This movie doesn't let silly little things like story get in its way. There's just a masked killer, some dark corridors, and a hot chick on the run. More than anything, it's a throwback to early eighties slasher movies with a little "Saw" thrown in for good measure.
For most of Jesús Franco's first 15 years of filmmaking he was contending with a powerful set of artistic limitations manifest most precisely in the fascist rule of Francisco Franco. While Jess, as he is more commonly known, left Spain for more habitable film production locales the specter of Franco's rule seems to revel itself in the director's oppositional, iconoclastic relationship with cinema censors.
The angst and elation of maturity are the heartbeats of mainstream cinema's adolescence. Through several decades of teen comedies and horror films there is the consistent playing out of maturation through sexuality, violence (graphic or not), and familial independence. Often genres such as comedy and horror are in themselves perceived as "adolescent" in their form and content. So it is unsurprising—if not appropriate—that such films often find teenagers as their core characters.
I have always had a curious fascination with Cannibal Corpse, the veteran metal band originally formed in 1988. Unfortunately for the band, my fascination with them is largely due to reasons totally beyond their control, and interests that likely do not coincide with their ideals.
It was only a matter of time before Pedro Almodóvar made a horror film. His decades long career directing, writing, and producing exhibits a constant concern for themes that flirt with the horror film genre. His films revel in all things melodramatic, the fluidity and ambiguity of sexual and gender identity, a love for surfaces and pop culture, camp, and the perils of isolation. A few of his films, namely "Carne Trémula" and "Atame!", more precisely lean toward the horrific.
We're all creeped out by this movie... and "brother" director teams.
"A Serbian Film" starts off with a young boy inadvertently watching a porn film starring his father and from there it gets worse. So much worse. So bad that by the time the end credits roll that creepy opening scene seems light-hearted in comparison to the waking nightmare you've just witnessed. If you are at all considering watching "A Serbian Film" you should be warned that you will see things that you can not unsee and these are things that, for the sake of all that is good and cuddly in the world, I sincerely hope that you most certainly do not want to see.
It's times like these that I wonder why I even bother with straight-to-video, shot-on-digital horror films at all. Tommi Lepola and Tero Molin's 2009 institutionalized horror outing "Skeleton Crew" is, simply put, more mentally and physically taxing than a root canal performed by a one-armed, lazy-eyed dentist with a penchant for heavy drooling. Although the film lasts a mere 90 minutes, it took me roughly two hours to complete the viewing, due in part to the film's complete inability to hold my attention.
If anyone on the planet expects their gimmicky one-location motion picture to work properly, they'd better make sure it comes equipped with solid direction, great writing, and a smart, likeable cast. Otherwise, you're just going to irritate everyone, and that's never a good thing.

Presenting over 260 channels of TV and music with thousands of television shows and movies accessible via On Demand, Cox Digital Cable is the top company between all other cable and satellite providers. No other cable TV broadcaster presents so many choices for a better rate. Cox customers have lower bills for premium cable TV than DirecTV and Dish Network satellite customers do for fewer channel options and no real On Demand service.
Put your money in an high definition television and believe satellite carries the most HD channels? Once again, the assertions satellite makes are really not true. Satellite television companies factor in channels which only display part time HiDef programming and alternate time zone broadcasts of premium broadcasts. That's just one method the satellite suppliers mislead customers over HD claims. Satellite television providers also cost subscribers more for HD programming by charging for premium HD tiers like sports packages on top of the normal charges for HD broadcasts such as TNT, ESPN, and Discovery Channel. Cox Cable gives you HD channels for no additional programming fees including the HD channels you would pay extra for with satellite. On top of HD programming, Cox Digital Cable offers HD content On Demand so you can watch your favorite shows and movies in the best quality available - as HiDef TV was designed to be viewed.
With Cox Digital Phone Service you can put an end to shocking per minute phone tolls for local and long distance calls. On top of the unlimited low fee calling, Cox Phone furnishes consumers with all the standard and extra features they love such as voice mail, call waiting, call forwarding, and caller ID, etc. Get out of the clutch your local or national phone provider has on you and never again open up a phone statement only to be stunned by foolish long distance fees and "hidden" fees you were never warned about. Be like millions of other pleased customers like you who have ordered Cox Digital Phone and gladly left per minute charges forever.

Topeak's newest height adjustable bottle cage for a 1-1.5 litre bottle.
Size (L x W x H): 10.7 x 9.1 x 37.8cm
Water bottles and cages are essential items for your bike, fluid replenishment is essential for long term activities and fitting a water bottle and cage to your bike is the perfect way of keeping you hydrated. Studies show that loss of fluid equal to 2% of your body mass is sufficient to cause a significant decrease in performance. Bottle cages have also received the lightweight treatment with materials such as carbon, titanium and alloy often used. These cages will accept water bottles from 500ml up to 1,000ml, making it possible to carry 2,000ml of fluid on your bike. It's also worth using an Energy drink whilst riding as these will help replace minerals lost through sweating.
The People at Topeak spend a good part of their days listening to cyclists needs and figuring out new ways to make their riding experience more enjoyable. This is born out of a desire to make their products better and better. Made up of a close knit global team of engineers, designers, sales and marketing folks, the Topeak Team continually looks at new ways of approaching cycling and its special requirements... that's because they are riders too.

SHALLOTTE—Victor Central High School's Erin Nargi struck out 18 of 25 batters as the Blue Devils blanked West Brunswick 6-0 in softball Thursday night.
"She was throwing between 64 and 67 mph, and we don't see that around here," West coach Joe Noble said. "She was poppin'."
The visitors from Victor, N.Y., 20 miles south of Rochester, had only four hits but strung together the ones they needed to win.
