In their new play The Tremendous Tremendous, The Mad Ones accomplish something that is at once special and rare. Their show is an investigation of a particular moment; a particular mood. It's filled with incidents but not one of them, on its own, really matters. Instead, what's captured and conveyed—in resoundingly resonant and moving fashion—is a state of mind, or a set of characters' individual and composite states of mind: lingering, melancholy, and ineffable.
The setting for this piece is the last day of the 1939 New York World's Fair. We are in the dressing room of the Abbott Family, a theatre troupe that has just scored an enormous career triumph as one of the sensations of this exposition. The family consists of three brothers—one named Charlie and two named Henry; Lucillia, the lone female in the group; and Squid, the newest member, who joined the group sometime after its founder, Murray, departed the scene. I don't think I'm giving too much away when I tell you that these people are not necessarily blood relations, but that nonetheless the relationships among them are thick and complicated and loaded. It's never entirely clear exactly what kind of performance or act the Abbotts do: it seems to be based on Hamlet, with some sword fighting and a lot of clowning involved. When the Abbotts enter their dressing room, they're wearing crazy costumes that blend commedia dell'arte with a kind of knockabout American burlesque/vaudeville circa 1930. Their faces are swathed in white clown makeup.
What happens during the play is that the Abbotts get out of their costumes and into their street clothes, packing up their possessions for departure from the fairgrounds the following morning. They banter and chat; they borrow a World's Fair promo movie and screen it in their room, reminiscing about the eventful days just concluded; they eat a little popcorn, drink a lot of whiskey, sing to the piano and dance to the radio. They look back on what they just accomplished from a feel-good high that they each suspect—without ever saying so—could well be the pinnacle of their lives.
The achievement here, as I've said, rests not in the plotting or dialogue but in the prevailing mood that The Mad Ones so artfully and cannily establish. The ability of these artists to create and then share a feeling that's at once intangible yet so familiar is extraordinary. I already worry that I've said too much about what happens here; really, see The Tremendous Tremendous for yourself to discover this very unusual theatrical experience.
The core members of The Mad Ones are writer/performers Marc Bovino (who plays one of the Henrys), Joe Curnutte (Charlie), and Stephanie Wright Thompson (Lucillia). Joining them here are actors Henry Vick (the other Henry) and Michael Dalto (Squid). The chemistry these actors sustain during the show is palpable and perhaps the most impressive aspect of a set of performances that are remarkable for their feeling, authenticity, and versatility. The talent occupying the Brick stage in this production is immense. Director Jeffrey Withers, usually an actor according to his program bio and new to the company, still has a few opportunities to tighten and edit some areas of the production (for example, in the scene where the Abbotts gather to screen their pilfered movie, one of them wears a tall tall hat that was directly in my line of vision—it wasn't so much that I couldn't see the film but rather that I was pulled out of the world of the play for a while as I adjusted to this; and this isn't a world that the audience should ever be pulled away from). The set, credited to The Mad Ones, is wonderfully detailed and loaded with surprises. Costumes by Sydney Gallas, makeup by Michael Anthony, sound by Stowe Nelson, and lighting by Mike Inwood all contribute mightily to the success of the show.
The Tremendous Tremendous is a rich and rewarding work of theatre that transports its audience not only to the time and place where it unfolds but to other locations private and personal to each of us; it kind of magically casts a spell to bring you to a place in your own past where you felt something akin to what you're witnessing on stage. The Mad Ones, who have only one (much acclaimed) previous credit, are definitely a company to watch.

Giant poppies adorn the town centre in Hounslow as the borough comes together to mark this year's Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Hounslow Council donated a sum of money to the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal to have the poppies displayed in the run up to both commemorations across the pedestrianised shopping area between Douglas Road and Bell Road.
It means residents and shoppers can see the poppies, which are attached to lamp posts, as they go about their daily business, giving an extra visual reminder of the sacrifices made by men and women in wars past and present.
Joining Cabinet Member for Community Protection, Councillor Richard Foote in the town centre was Peter Casey, from the Hounslow branch of Royal British Legion [RBL] and Rob Gillespie, Service Director, Hounslow Highways.
Cllr Foote, a member of the RBL Hanworth branch said: "It was something we as a council wanted to do. They are really impressive, you can see them as you walk around and I know they are being warmly received by everyone in our borough.
"It is all part of remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice but also to raise awareness for the support the RBL provides."
Money from donations for poppies go towards helping the RBL provide assistance and support across a number of services to Armed Forces veterans, serving personnel and their families.
Mark Bishop, Community Fundraiser, South West London RBL said "We would like to thank Hounslow Council and the local community for their continuing generous support of the Poppy Appeal. Having such a strong visual message will help us to raise more funds to allow the Armed Forces community to Live On".
Rob Gillespie, Service Director, Hounslow Highways said: "There has been a very positive reaction to the poppies and it is part of how we want to further strengthen community engagement and the feeling of inclusion for everyone in the borough."

Janeshwar Mishra Park
Janeshwar Mishra Park is an urban park operating in Gomti Nagar in Lucknow, India. It was made in memory of late politician Janeshwar Mishra from Samajwadi Party.The park was inaugurated for general public of the city on 5 August 2014. It is claimed to be Asia's largest garden. The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav (session 2012-2017) laid the foundation stone of the park on 6 August 2012. The park was a dream project of SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav who had asked his son and UP CM Akhilesh Yadav to dedicate a park in the name of Janeshwar Mishra. It was developed with a cost of 168 crores($276,026,668). The park was modeled with Hyde Park in London as an inspiration.
Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has developed eco-friendly Janeshwar Mishra Park (JMP) in the heart of the city. It has been conceptualised and designed as a multi-functional environmental and recreational green which will not just provide sustainable habitat for various species of birds but also double up as a major entertainment and recreation centre for all sections of the society. It will enhance and improve the ecological balance and help restore sensitive habitat for numerous species of birds, small animals, fishes, amphibians and even insects. The design direction for the park is centered on the strategy for sustainable development that aims to promote harmony among human beings and between humanity and nature. The pursuit of sustainable development requires a social system that provides for solutions for the tensions arising from disharmonious development. The site has a gentle and general slope towards south to north and greater gradient towards eastern and western sides where it will house water bodies. As per Lucknow Master Plan, the site falls in green belt and was visualized as a city forest. However, due to manifold reasons the site is now proposed to be developed a park to meet the social and recreational needs of the neighbouring population. However, whilst permitting the change from city forest to landscaped park.

as I've started to clear us the mess from Christmas, as basically it's anything to keep moving (we've run out of fuel oil, because somebody forgot to check the tank!) I picked up a piece of ribbon, which had been discarded from a present in Toodles stocking, and that gave me idea for a little challenge to get our mojos' working.
Leave a link in the comments section, and next Tuesday I will randomly pick somebody to get a little prize. I haven't told the DT girls about this, but hopefully they will join in too.
So, all you need to do is make something from some discarded wrapping paper, or re-use something old that you don't want anymore. Only rule is you have to use a Toodles & Binks stamp along with any of your other supplies.
Right, I'm off to have a go at this one – basically anything to keep active, which = warm – only 6 more days to wait till the tanker will come, and we'll get the heating back…..

Inspiration is pure soul-guidance. You could call it synchronicity revealed. It is more blatant than suggestive.
The following conditions are characteristic of inspirational decision-making.
Intuition can best be described as a creative "eureka" moment—a sudden breakthrough to solving a problem. Inspiration, on the other hand is more like receiving continuing guidance that allows you to stay in a state of "flow." When you are in "flow," synchronicities become daily or weekly occurrences.
What appears to be happening as you progress with your personal evolution is an ever increasing alignment and concentration of energies that support you in your soul purpose.
I sometimes think synchronicity and inspiration are two elements of a behind the scenes conspiracy directed by the soul to get you to focus on living out your soul's purpose. I could fill pages with descriptions of serendipitous events that have happened to me over the years that I cannot logically explain. Following the promptings of your soul is like surfing a wave. The energy beneath your feet carries you along and you are simply there for the ride.
When you reach the stage of inspiration, you can let go of your vision. You are living the life of a soul-infused personality that plays in the quantum field of universal energy. You are now standing on the wave with your surfboard, and the wave takes you where you need to go. The last thing you want to do at this stage is start to make plans because you are no longer in control of your destiny. It is as if your soul has taken over your mind. Following you soul's purpose becomes all consuming. Herein lays a danger.
Your unrestrained soul motivation for fulfilment can have a similar impact on the rest of your life as your unrestrained ego motivation for achievement. In both situations you may find yourself spending long hours doing your "work" and ignoring your health and your family.
The main difference is that your ego-needs make themselves felt when you are young and in your physical prime, whereas your soul-needs usually make themselves felt when you are older. Balance and discipline are needed now, more than ever. If you don't focus and develop balance, you will compromise your ability to fulfil your soul purpose.
Here are some of the characteristics of a self-actualized, soul-infused personality.

text: How & Why Air Gaps Are Used Learn why air gaps are needed for some common plumbing fixtures What is an Air Gap? An air gap is the most simple and effective means of preventing contamination of a potable water supply. Once potable water leaves the outlet of a fixture, it's either used or sent down the drain. In the event of a drain back up or flood, the contents of the drain line should never be able to make contact with the water supply - the two plumbing systems (for potable water and for waste) should always remain separate. Should they come into contact (a "cross-connection"), the potable water supply can be seriously compromised. Contamination can occur in a backflow event, where either siphoning or a difference in pressure in the supply line can draw the contents of a directly-connected drain line into the clean water supply. Air gaps prevent cross-connections and contamination by discharging water and waste across an unobstructed space (a gap of air). That space is between the fixture outlet and the "flood level rim" of a receptacle (be it a sink, floor drain, standpipe, or other approved unit). Think of a faucet (outlet) and sink basin (receptacle): water that leaves the faucet flows across empty air into the basin. Even if the basin were to stop draining and back up to its flood level rim (the top edge or the overflow), dirty backed-up water can never reach the faucet thanks to the space between. The faucet/sink setup is a perfect example of the concept, but when we're talking about air gaps it's usually in reference to a fixture-specific device. Many are familiar with dishwasher air gaps, but there are other situations in which a direct drain connection might be prohibited, and an air gap necessary. Pro Tip: Most plumbing codes require a minimum 2" air gap. For discharge/supply pipes that are larger than 1" in diameter, the minimum gap distance is usually twice the pipe's diameter (e.g. a 2" pipe requires a 4" air gap). Air Gap Devices For Dishwashers To many, a dishwasher air gap is merely the thing next to the kitchen faucet that water sometimes spills out of. But as explained above, its function is incredibly important: the rare backflow event that has the potential to move wastewater back through the drain hose and into the dishwasher is instantly neutralized with an air gap. For those with dual dishwashers (it's a thing!), a dual dishwasher air gap has twin inlets that can conveniently connect both units to the sink tailpiece or garbage disposal for draining. To learn more about dishwasher air gaps and how to deal with one that's leaking, click here! For Reverse Osmosis Systems Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most effective and popular water filtration methods around, but produces a good amount of wastewater (or "brine"). Most plumbing codes require an air gap on the RO drain line to prevent the possibility of contamination. Since RO systems must dispense water through their own faucet, many opt for an air gap faucet that incorporates the air gap inside the body of the faucet itself. For those with dishwashers in the kitchen, a combination air gap can be installed to service both fixtures, allowing you to use an (often less expensive) standard RO faucet. RO systems with an air gap often make gurgling noises during the regeneration cycle as the water spills across the gap and into the drain. Annoying as this may be, we still recommend using an air gap with any RO system, even when not required by code. This is not only a safety concern: a backflow event could also damage the RO system, adding insult to injury. For Water Softeners Water softeners are another fixture that regularly discharge brine, and are usually prohibited from having a direct drain connection. Because they're usually installed in garages, basements or utility rooms, softeners are typically drained into a floor drain, laundry sink, standpipe or a washing machine outlet box. When floor drains or sinks are used, the softener's drain hose/pipe can simply be secured above the receptacle following local guidelines for air gap distance. Securing the line is important, as the softener discharge does exit with some force. For draining into standpipes or outlet boxes, we offer a specialized water softener air gap. This device features a 1/2" inlet for the softener's discharge line as well as a 1-1/4" opening for standard washing machine drain hoses, allowing both fixtures to utilize the same drain. Indirect Waste Other fixtures and equipment can be prohibited from having a direct connection to the drain - things like emergency eyewash stations, commercial ice makers, food-handling equipment, condensate drainage and some others. Code typically requires they be discharged "through an indirect waste pipe by means of an air gap". Whereas the other fixtures we've discussed have uniquely designed air gap devices, these do not. Instead, the discharge pipe/hose itself is merely secured at the proper height (likely 2x the diameter of the discharge) above the indirect waste receptacle to create the air gap. To securely support such indirect waste pipes, we offer the Tru-Gap, which can be connected to floor drains or glued to PVC pipe, and accommodates up to 6 drain pipes/hoses. Always check with local authorities if you're at all unsure of the air gap requirements in your area, as they are not the same everywhere. We highly encourage the use of air gaps, even when one is not required by code (as can often be the case with dishwashers). When it comes to preventing contamination, there's nothing more simple or reliable.

Cabbage Stir Fry with Moong Dal – Simple yet satisfying!!
Well, a post after a very long time!! So, posting something very simple and easy to make. Most South Indian lunch menus have the following items; Sambar, Rasam and a poriyal/stir fry. This is a very common stir fry/ poriyal made with cabbage. I learnt this from my mother-in-law. She makes a spicy poriyal version too. However, this tastes mild and is a very good combination with spicy sambar rice. One small tip here 😉 You can even use this as a sandwich filling 😛
Serves: 3
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Cabbage(shredded) – 2 – 2.5 cups (not very finely shredded)
Green Chillies – 3
Moong Dal – 2 tbsp
Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp
Grated Coconut – 2 tbsp
Salt – to taste
Oil – 2 tsp
Mustard Seeds – 1 tsp
Curry Leaves – a few
Water – as required
1. Heat oil in a pan. Temper mustard seeds and curry leaves. Saute green chillies.
2. Now add the cabbage and mix well. Saute for 2 minutes.
3. Now add the moong dal and turmeric powder. Sprinkle little water. Mix well.
4. Keep sprinkling water in small amounts and cook closed on a low flame.
5. Repeat this until the cabbage and moong dal turn soft.
6. Add required salt and grated coconut. Mix well and saute for 1 minute.
– Do not overcook the cabbage or dal. The texture should be intact.
– You can increase/decrease the amount of dal and coconut depending on your taste.

Cas (CRISPR Associate protein)—Genes found to be associated with CRISPR sequences that encode the nuclease or helicase proteins needed to identify and cut the targeted DNA sequence. The first Cas protein to have its activity characterized was Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes and it is currently the preferred Cas for CRISPR/Cas gene editing.
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat)—Repeating segments of DNA found in the prokaryote genome where each repeat is followed by unique "spacer" DNA sequences. In 2005 it was discovered that the spacer sequences are identical to phage DNA.
crRNA (CRISPR targeting RNA)—The transcribed region of the unique "spacer" sequences found in CRISPR regions; crRNA guides Cas proteins to foreign genetic elements. Requires tracrRNA for complexing with Cas proteins.
Dead Cas9 (dCas9) – Cas9 with point mutations in the RuvC and HNH nuclease domains that prevent nuclease activity. dCas9 can still bind to the target site and has been used as an activator/repressor of genes.
Double Stranded Break (DSB)—A break in both strands of the DNA double helix that elicits one of two repair mechanisms, Homology Directed Repair (HDR) or Non Homologous End Joining (NHEJ).
gRNA (Guide RNA)—The result of fusing the crRNA and tracrRNA components of the CRISPR/Cas system into one RNA molecule to targeted a specific sequence of genomic DNA. gRNAs are not found in nature. The crRNA sequence is synthesized in order to target the desired genomic DNA while the tracrRNA sequence comes from bacterial sequences needed to complex with Cas proteins. Guide RNA can also be referred to as a single guide RNA (sgRNA).
HDR (Homology Directed Repair)—DNA repair mechanism that uses DNA homology to repair a DSB. This mechanism can be used to insert novel DNA sequences into a genome by flanking the desired sequence with regions homologous to the sequences flanking an induced DSB.
InDel (Insertion/Deletion)—The insertion or deletion of DNA bases during DNA repair or damage that can result in disruption of the open reading frame.
NHEJ (Non-Homologous End-Joining)—ADNA repair mechanisms that often results in small inserts or deletions of nucleotides at the DSB. This technique has been used to knockout individual genes in organisms.
PAM (Protospacer Adjacent Motif)—Specific DNA sequence that must follow the target DNA sequence in order for Cas9 to bind and cut DNA. Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes has a PAM sequence of NGG. New and novel PAM sequences have been identified in other Cas-like proteins.
"Spacer" Sequence—Sequence found between palindromic repeats on the CRISPR locus encoding phage DNA or – in the case of engineered CRISPR gene targeting – sequences of the target of interest.
TracrRNA (Trans-Activating crRNA)—A key small RNA in the CRISPR mechanism. This RNA maintains two functions, hybridizing with the crRNA repeat sequence and binding Cas protein. The TracrRNA contains a sequence complementary to the palindromic repeat section of the transcribed crRNAUpon duplexing of this palindromic region, the crRNA/tracrRNA complex can then bind to Cas proteins for DNA targeting and cleavage.
Target sequence—Genomic DNA targeted by the CRISPR/Cas system. Typically the target sequence is 20 nucleotides long and is immediately followed by the PAM sequence.

A full-featured LMS offers a large selection of features and customizations
to meet your organization's unique training needs. Key features include:
Press a button to generate reports, or spend hours/days poring through file cabinets and Excel sheets. Your choice.
Rather than enrolling staff in one course at a time, assign an entire collection of training specific to their role. Designate due dates for each course so learners move progressively through their training and have it completed in an appropriate time-frame.
Your PowerPoint courses are good — now make them fully functional with remote delivery, testing, and tracking.
Turnover already has a big enough impact — don't wait to onboard until you can schedule live training. Auto-enroll new hires with online courses and start training day 1.
When employees fail to master core skills, it puts your organization at risk for poor outcomes. With training plans, each learner will be able to see which courses lie ahead of them.
An LMS manages more than just online training. Use reporting features to track and report on in-person training. Instead of separate reporting for live and online training, track everything in one easy-to-access place.
Yes it can. A good LMS is flexible and can easily be customized to fit the needs of your organization and specific individuals.
Consider your current staff training methods as you evaluate your own needs which may include meeting specific training regulations, setting up your own training programs, or creating content for your organization. A good learning management system adjusts to fit your needs—not the other way around

More than 90 University of Nevada accounting students recently participated in a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, preparing tax returns to receive credit in their Federal Tax Accounting class at UNR.
Last year, UNR accounting students helped prepare 700 tax returns and are expecting at least that many this year.
"We have some taxpayers who come in with three, four or five years of unfiled tax returns," Richard Mason, associate UNR business professor, told local KTVN-TV. "Especially during the economic downturn, we have a number of people who were foreclosed on, who short-sold houses."
Mason also said he estimated the IRS-sponsored program saves the community upwards of $100,000 to $150,000 in professional fees.
The VITA program is offered every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 8:30 pm and every Saturday from 8:30am to 1 pm through April 12th at the Community Services Agency located at 1090 E. 8th Ave. in Reno. Appointments can be made by calling 786-6023.

I was rewarded when reading this article because I see you all doing almost all of these things. It reassured me that you are doing a wonderful job according to the world just as I have always believed in my heart of hearts.
Oh, I know that Mike and I sometimes mutter, question, and offer unsolicited advice in regard to your parenting (and usually regret it afterward when we think about how we would have received it when we were in the throes of raising youngsters). But, really, we think our grandchildren are practically perfect in every way.
Don't all grandparents feel that way, though?
Thank you.
I thought so.
The post also made me do a bit of reflecting.
In reflecting on the way my own children were raised, I also thought about how many of these were incorporated into our lives. I'm sure that is part of why you are doing such a fabulous job of parenting our adorable grands!
I will also add that, looking back, I wish I had done more of some (maybe all) of these things and want to be my bossy, interfering self to tell you to do so as well. I think you could use this list as a guide to help you when you have self-doubt and I encourage you to look more closely at these:
- I wish I had given more undivided attention to you. Why did I think some of those things needed my attention more than my precious children?
- Do more volunteering together. There is nothing more gratifying and eye-opening than volunteering. Providing a service for others with no expectation of anything in return is one of the purest forms of love for our fellow man. It has always made me feel even more grateful for the many blessings I've been provided and, hopefully, others benefited at least as much as me.
- Nix negative talk. I know I'm stretching this one beyond what the post mentions but, in my opinion we all could work toward erasing negative talk about ourselves and, even more so about others. Watch the gossip. Watch trash-talking. Watch criticizing. As the Disney character stated, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." I know that is a most difficult thing to do but, please, at least try to prevent doing such within ear-shot of those children.
Each of the listed ways is important, I believe. The article is insightful. It could be used as a guide to inform you but, thankfully, I believe it will only serve as a reminder of what is important and reaffirm that you are doing the right things.
As the overbearing parent, I know that we often seem interfering and judgmental of the way you live your life or parent your children. Please know, dear children, that we love you and think you are doing a marvelous job! We know that we neglect to let you know that and hearing and feeling our approval is important as you weather through.

Certified Gym Articles
By: John Quint NMT ART CAFS To understand why optimal mobility is so critical for us, we need to know exactly what mobility is. Mobility is defined as: the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. We know we should have optimal mobility, but do we really understand why we have to have mobility to have optimal function? A major factor is because humans don't exist in isolation; we interact with the world around us. For us to truly understand why mobility is so important we need to have a grasp on the science of the physical environment...

VOLUME V INTENSITYBy Alan Sherry For this week's workout Wednesday we will take a look at a common issue with a lot of CrossFit gyms' programming and something that seems to be a general consensus among fitness coaches: favoring H.I.I.T type protocols and shorter WODs over longer endurance type pieces.The reason for this seems twofold, and neither of them are positive:1) First off, this is an easy, and lazy, way of programming. It is much easier for a coach to put together a couplet or triplet of exercises with a short six or eight minute time cap in the name of 'intensity'...

UNDERSTANDING THE TRAINING PROCESS By Alan Sherry CSP GymWe are now thankfully (well, hopefully) long passed the idea that a one-size-fits-all approach is the way forward for appropriate fitness prescription. Clients are different, physiologically, psychologically and everything in between. Their goals, needs and ability to adapt to training and lifestyle stressor's will all be different, and so their programming structure should reflect this too.Some of the biggest factor's that will affect an athlete's adaptability to training will be the following:1: Their NME rating (Neuro-Muscular Efficiency)2: Their mitochondrial make-up & dominant muscle fibre type3: Their own unique psychologyThere are both genetic...

Understanding HRV
Posted by Tom Barry
Understanding HRV By Alan Sherry CSP Gym Stress: When people think of stress, they think of its mental properties, the worries and anxieties of everyday life. Stress however can and should be defined as anything that disrupts our allostasis/homeostasis. Taking this into account, we can conclude that pretty much anything we do in our daily lives can place our body under stress. Stress is non-specific, in other words your body will not differentiate between stressors, whether physical or emotional. The body does not know whether you just hit multiple 1RM attempts, performed an intense anaerobic conditioning session, stayed up all...

Well, it is December again. And you know what that means! The annual stomach bug! Never misses a December! Little fucker.
Andrew has been screaming for days and I know it is his ears. I've taken him to a minute clinic where the lady said she couldn't get a good view of his ears. So, then I took him to our ped's office, but only Bad Santa Ped was in and he told me it is just a new behavior. No. No, it isn't. I know when my kid's in pain. And now, two days later there is dried blood coming out of his ear.
John has a head cold. I just spent the last 15 hours in bed with a lovely stomach bug.
Merry Christmas, y'all~
It is a December to Remember, but not quite how I planned it!
Looks like the old saying held true "Whatever you are doing on New Year's Day is what you'll be doing the rest of the year." With FOUR stomach viruses this year, I'd say it was true. Damn.

Living the Good Life: Creating the College Bucket List
How do you know if research will be on your college bucket list? This seminar was inspired by a 2015 New York Times article, "How to Live Wisely," by Richard Light, and a new book, Design Your Life, by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. In this seminar, you will examine questions like: What does it mean to live a good life? To live a productive life? To live a happy life? Not only will you discuss these questions, but you will also use this seminar to learn how you can design your college experience—YOUR college bucket list. You will examine your values and what matters to you. You will be encouraged to explore answers both inside and outside of the classroom—including academic and research options—so that you might realize your goals by making your plans for your college experience. We will explore the science of happiness, and then put it into practice by experiencing the joy of field trips involving food, music, scientific discussions and more. By sharing our stories and research, as well as how we strive to have a happy and meaningful life, we hope to awaken you to the possibilities of doing the same.

In a ruling appropriately issued on Halloween, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued its latest decision on the tariff classification of costumes. Rubies Costume Co. v. United States (https://www.cit.uscourts.gov/SlipOpinions/Slip_op17/17-147.pdf).
The items at issue were the jacket, pants, gloves and toy sack portions of a nine-piece Santa costume. The importer claimed duty-free treatment under the tariff provision covering "festive articles" as the Santa suit would only be worn during the Christmas season. The government countered that each component of the costume should be classified within the relevant apparel or accessory provision - carrying high rates of duty (e.g., 32% for the jacket and 28.2% for the pants).
The decision turned on whether the Santa costume constituted "fancy dress" (a category that is specifically excluded from classification within the festive goods provision). Referencing earlier precedent, the Court considered whether the Santa costume was well-made (which would favor classification as fancy dress, regardless of the festive purpose) as opposed to flimsy (which would preclude classification as apparel).
Pointing to various features, the Court concluded that the costume was well made. For example, in the case of the jacket, the Court pointed to the presence of a lining, a full zippered opening (hidden by a left-over-right faux fur cover held in place by two metal snaps), long sleeves with turned edges (trimmed with white faux fur cuffs) and a straight cut, hemmed and trimmed bottom. The costume was also a 'dry clean only' item that was intended to survive multiple wearings and cleanings over several Christmas seasons.
The decision essentially preserves the status quo in the area of costume classification. Determinations as to when a costume is sufficiently flimsy so as to be eligible for duty-free "festive" treatment are highly subjective and made on a case-by-case basis. We understand that Customs has been withholding action on pending cases and refusing to issue rulings on certain types of costumes pending the issuance of the Rubies Costume decision. As a result, we expect greater attention to be paid to this area.
Please contact Arthur W. Bodek or any of our other partners with any questions or to discuss the potential impact of this decision on your import program.

Coffee Shop Fare - Tissue Prata and Teh Tarik
Simple breakfast fare - Prata and Teh! Everyone knows about the regular and plain roti prata, but less people order the tissue prata. Tissue prata is light and fluffy, sugary on the inside, great for a snack or dessert!
Teh Tarik (Malay term) translated means "pulled tea". Teh Tarik can be a little sweet, especially to the Western palate, due to the condensed milk in the drink. "Pulling" or transferring the drink between 2 containers helps to create the bubbles/froth at the top of the drink. If you would like coffee, order "Kopi Tarik" instead!

Perhaps you've heard of this little movie called "The Incredibles?" It's the one with the family of superheroes that deal with both domestic discord and villainy. It made a little money last year. We hear that Steve Jobs guy was pretty pleased with its performance. And some dude named Eisner.
There have already been two mobile games based on the blockbuster CG-animated films, a side-scrolling platformer and an arcade-style game that will remind you a lot of Space Invaders, except it stars an awkward teenage girl instead of a spaceship. But as entertaining as those games were, Disney Mobile was hardly content to let such a lucrative franchise wither on the vine. But more so, when you have a property so well suited for gaming, why not drink from the same well a few more times?
Especially when you can do it in 3D.
The Incredibles is returning in the next few months, but with an extreme make-over, thanks to the super-juiced handsets that will start shipping next month. The 3D edition, developed by Superscape, does not just take previous platformer and cast it with some new polygonal models. That would be laziness -- and probably a source of irritation to Tobin Lent and the good guys at Lavastorm Engineering who worked on the side-scroller.
Instead, this new The Incredibles grabs a couple of action sequences from the flick, such as Bob's (Mr. Incredible) encounters with the Omnidroid and Dash's adventure in the cave on Syndrome's island. The game mechanics will remind you an awful lot of the original Crash Bandicoot games, how the camera was either behind or just in front of Crash as he constantly runs toward (or away) from trouble.
The first few sequences slip you into Bob's old blue supersuit for his "training missions" against one of the prototype Omnidroids. First, you must pursue the Omnidroid through the lush jungle, jumping over barriers and punching your way through fences. You must also avoid getting stuck in mud puddles, as well as pass out knuckle sandwiches to posted guards. And you never get a break because Bob is always running. Always. While running through these perpetual motion obstacle courses, you must collect Incredipoints (they look like the family crest) for bonuses, such as extra chances.
In another sequence, you take charge of Dash. In place of his father's super-punches, you can use Dash's turbo to break through fences. Dash also runs fast enough to cross water, barely getting his little piggies wet. His levels in the caves are full of drill machines that dart from left to right. You can avoid must of them, but sometimes Dash must "surf" them to cross much larger bodies of water. Dash also must sprint through the transport tunnels of Syndrome's island lair and avoid oncoming pods.
The camera placement may take some getting used to when you are running toward the screen. These sequences are designed to be harder than the running away phases since you have less reaction time to obstacles and hazards. But the running away sequences give you a good idea of the kind of trouble you'll face during the level.
The build we played has slots for eight levels. You can save after each successful mission, and the game gives you three save slots so either multiplayer players can enjoy the game without stepping on toes, or you can save at key points in the game's progression. Each save screen shows how far you are in the game via a percentage value.
And just how good does The Incredibles look? The screen size itself may be kind of small -- but this is no exaggeration. The build we played looks better than a couple Nintendo DS games we've seen. The frame rate at this point is a little slower than we hoped, but that's something some fine-tuning and optimization can fix.
The colors are simply sumptuous. Bright reds and greens pop off the screen. The character models and locations are also spot-on. Bob and Dash are not terribly complicated polygonal models, but the are wrapped with good textures that cover up the simpilicty of their design. And the environments were treated with just as much care, too. Check some of the screen below for examples of solar panels with individual squares and transport pods with actual depth and detail. Very impressive stuff -- and so deliciously early in the 3D cycle, too.
Playing a game like The Incredibles makes a mobile fan absolutely giddy with anticipation over what the following year will bring to the wireless space. Disney Mobile has two properties to get this 3D revolution going -- The Incredibles and Kindgom Hearts -- making it a key player.
We'll have more on the 3D edition of The Incredibles in coming weeks, but in the meantime, check out our gallery of screenshots. There are some pretty sweet screens that will make you want to upgrade your handset, toot sweet.

Hottest Spot for News, Music, Updates, Meet new friends, and More. - Date360.net
in Case you are carrying last or Sleeping on a bicycle and havent read the Part 1 Of the Story., Please CLICK HERE to Read The Biology Practical (Part 1)., before continuing.. Thank You.
.......(Continued from Part1) I finally slept off, and the alarm woke me again at exactly one am. I got up and went to check if my trap had caught its prey. To my surprise, I got into the kitchen and noticed that the container was half-filled with cockroaches. I almost gave out a shout of victory. I couldn't even have imagined that this number of cockroaches lived in this house with us. As I spotted them, I moved like a lightening and approached the container to cover it.
Unfortunately for me, in my desperation I applied too much speed and I missed the grasp, knocking down the container and crashing over the cupboard while knocking down a few breakables and sustaining minor injuries. This was just too much for a night. Once more, the tears gathered around my eyes.
As I sat down there in the midst of the broken plates, I didn't know what to think and what not to think. However, I was more worried about what Mum would do to me for breaking those plates. And so I sat there, and made no attempt to stand up. I knew Mum would have heard the crashing sound, so I decided to sit there and await her judgment.
Just immediately, she showed up at the kitchen door. I wondered how long she had been there because I didn't even hear her open the door of her room, nor did I hear her footsteps approaching. I only looked up and saw her standing there at the kitchen door.
She looked at me for a while and made her way towards me carefully to avoid the broken glasses on the floor. She got to me and gave my ear a long hard pull, before twisting it vigorously. I even feared the ear might fall off.
"I bought these plates with my hard earned money, you don't just wake up and start breaking things. Now tidy up this kitchen and get back to bed!" She then released the pull on my ear, and gave me a hard knock on the head. My head ached.
As I heard her receding footsteps, I shook my head and got up. I arranged the cupboard properly, swept the floor and gathered the broken plates into the dustbin. They were about two plates and one tea cup. I inspected the entire mess, and shook my head again. I decided to wash the dishes in the sink, as well as my plastic container. It was obvious; the 'ultimate' search was over.
I cleaned up my wounds and went straight to bed. It had been a very bad night. I lived in a house full of cockroaches, yet I couldn't catch any.
At school the next day, I couldn't hide the bitterness in my heart; I had stayed awake all night with no catch. After the morning assembly, the first person I met as I entered the classroom was Victor. We exchange greetings and he noticed my moody face.
"Why is your face like that?" Victor asked, "Guess you weren't able to catch any cockroaches. Well, you don't have to worry, I came with cockroaches. Plenty of it, and they are up for sale for those who couldn't catch any.
"Victor, are you out of your mind? Selling cockroaches, who on earth gave you such a terrible idea?"
"Please don't judge me. I don't have much time. I must sell those cockroaches before we start the first class lesson. So, do you want some or not?" He asked me.
"Well, I couldn't catch any last night, after all my effort…"
"You look so much like it, just as apostle Peter in the bible who toiled all night and couldn't catch any fish." Victor laughed.
"Seriously, so you do read the bible?"
"Kind of. Actually, that was the second lesson reading in church last Sunday." He grinned.
"I thought as much. Okay, I'd just get my container and collect some cockroaches." I went straight to my school bag inside my locker and brought out my container. Victor produced a very big jar filled with cockroaches. I almost screamed, and had to cover my mouth with my hands.
I noticed that a small portion of the jar was cut open and then blocked with a waterproof material.
Victor then asked me to open my container. When I did, he removed the waterproof material on his jar and covered that portion with his hands. As the cockroaches came towards the opening, he just used his bare hands and collected them, covered them in his palms and then threw them into my container.
It was such a disgusting sight. When it was up to five, I quickly covered the container.
"Thank you Victor."
"You are welcome."
"And how many cockroaches do you have in there?" I asked him.
"I'm not sure, but it's a whole lot. And I'm going to make some cool cash this morning." Victor was all smiles.
"I must wish you luck, but don't be surprised if you earn yourself a good nickname before today ends."
"A cockroach seller, right? I wouldn't even mind, so long as I make some sales."
I couldn't help but laugh out loud as Victor dashed to the front of the whole class and advertised his merchandise. The whole class burst out in laughter and I had to join them. It really felt so good to laugh and be happy, even if it was just for a moment.
"How much?" a student yelled from across the class.
"It's one cockroach for twenty naira and three for fifty naira." Victor replied with a smile.
The whole class roared again as Victor replied and left the classroom and went to the other S S 1 classes to make him announcement, since the assignment was given to the entire S S 1 class.
By the time Victor was returning to our class, he was shouting, "Buy your cockroach! Buy your cockroach! One for twenty naira and three for fifty!"
I continued to laugh as well as a few other students in the classroom. In less than three minutes, some students had gathered around Victor to make their purchases. Victor gestured to them to line up in a single file, and when they did, he started attending to them one after the other, giving out cockroaches and collecting the money all by himself.
The sales were interrupted when the math teacher entered the class for the first lesson. As soon as Engr. Felix entered, the students in the queue waiting for the cockroaches reshuffled and went back to their seats after booking a turn with Victor, for after-class purchases.
The Math lesson began and went on peacefully, until a desperate student from S S 1A class sneaked into the class as the teacher was writing on the board. The student bent over on his knees and crawled towards Victor and gestured to him that he wanted to buy some cockroaches. I heard Victor whisper to him to come back after the class lesson, but the boy insisted on getting it now, promising to pay extra for them.
As Victor saw the tip of the shiny new two hundred naira note in the boy's hand, he changed his mind, and decided to go through with the transaction. Five cockroaches for two hundred would be worth the risk.
The teacher continued to write on the board and by then, the student who wanted the cockroach was stooping under Victor's table, so the teacher won't see him when he looks back.
Victor collected his container, opened his school bag and transferred five cockroaches into the boy's container. The few students around him who saw what was going on had wanted to laugh, but had to suppress it, to avoid attracting the teacher's attention.
Victor looked at them as they struggled to suppress the laughter and gestured a warning to them. He slid his hand across his throat as a warning that he would kill them if ever they drew the teacher's attention to him. Victor bottled the cockroaches in the new container and handed it over to the boy, after collecting the crisp naira note from him.
The boy viewed the cockroaches trapped in the container and nodded satisfactorily before crawling away the same way he had crawled in.
For a moment, I thought I didn't see Victor cover his jar of cockroaches very properly. He must have been excited at making extra gain and forgot to cover it properly. I had wanted to tell him to check if his container was properly covered, but I decided to let it go, perhaps this was all in my imagination.
The math teacher finished copying out the exercises on the board and asked us to attempt it in our exercise books. The whole class suddenly became quiet and began to tackle the exercises. The teacher walked around to inspect our compliance. When he came to Victor's seat, he leaned on his locker for a while.
Only a few minutes later, after Engr. Felix got up from Victor's locker, he was scratching on his trousers. That was when I knew that the cockroaches must have sneaked into his trousers. I turned to Victor to signal to him that his jar of cockroaches might be open. And then I confirmed my suspicion, when I saw a big cockroach sitting on his head. It was the girl sitting next to him that screamed first.
"Roach! Roach! Look, there's a roach on your head! Ahhhhh!"
And then I began to wonder, when did 'cockroach' become 'Roach'? She just carefully removed the 'cock' in the full name. I shook my head; these girls would never stop 'forming'.
The first person to start a dance was the math teacher, as he tried to reach the cockroach that was running around inside his trousers. That was when Victor decided to check if his jar was actually open. As he zipped open his school bag, all the cockroaches which had already escaped from the container and now roaming free inside his bag was set free. Some of them which had wings began to fly, and the entire class scattered. The Math teacher who had already opened his belt was almost stripping just to reach the cockroach inside his trousers.
By the time the cockroaches successfully dispersed around the classroom, the Math teacher stylishly exit the class and ran into the staff room to fish out the cockroach in his trousers. Some students ran away from the class while some others took pleasure killing the creatures, and then, some very optimistic students scrambled to catch the cockroaches, especially those who had none yet.
All that Victor could do was stare despairingly at the mess he had just caused.
The dean of student affairs came just in time to see the uproar in our class. He addressed my class and queried Victor for coming to school with a jar full of cockroaches and making merchandise out of it.
However, the entire class was punished for causing uproar and disturbing the peace of the whole school. And we did serve the punishment together and honorably. Everyone blamed Victor. He looked despondent, but I know why. It was because the cockroaches had all fled away and he wasn't going to make money out of them anymore.

How Organized is Your Pantry?
Pantry Organization That Saves U Time
If you are frustrated with having too many duplicate ingredients and not enough staples set aside a day to get things in order. That day will save you time and money. And, it won't hurt! If you'd like some help we'd love to help!
Start With a Clean Slate
Empty your cabinets and pantry of all food items first. As you pull things out toss anything that is expired. If you are finding things your family does not eat but are still good, put them in a bag or box to donate to a food pantry.
Grouping For Convenience
Put like items (canned fruit, soups, etc.) together as you pull them out. Now take out all of the cooking utensils and miscellaneous debris. Look at each pot, pan, measuring spoon, box of plastic wrap, etc. and decide if you really use and love them. If not, toss or donate.
Clean the pantry shelves and/or cabinet shelves. Try this homemade mixture for cleaning – it's inexpensive, food-safe and effective.
Create zones as you put your pantry back together. What your zones are will depend on your family size, your lifestyle, and your shopping patterns.
When & Where
Go meal by meal. Depending on how you shop and live, consider creating specialized containers in your pantry. If you shop weekly for specific meals, create a bin with all the ingredients for that meal and a copy of the recipe. Each week you could have a bin for each dinner saving you time and money.
Specialize. If you entertain often, create a few specialized bins for quick appetizers. If you have young kids, put a bin low down in your pantry of snacks kids can have access to without needing your help.
If someone in your home has food allergies, keep a bin with items likely to trigger a reaction in a safe place away from other food items. Keep things like peanut butter, Nutella in this bin.
Take charge of your pantry. You'll be surprised at the savings. You will also be pleased with how easy it is to plan and make meals once everything is organized
Typical zones include:
Baking – flour, sugars, food coloring, yeast, etc.
Dried food – pasta, rice, grits, etc.
Cereals and other prepared foods like cookies and granola bars
Canned – fruits, vegetables, soups, meals
Condiments, mixes
Pet foods/treats
Vegetables – onions, potatoes, apples (depending on your region), turnips, etc.

Your Power Dragon Scale Mail is unaffected! The Bile Demon casts a spell, burning your eyes! You are unaffected! The Great Storm Wyrm claws you. The Great Storm Wyrm claws you. The Great Storm Wyrm misses you. The Great Storm Wyrm bites you. You are struck by electricity! The Great Wyrm of Perplexity breathes confusion. The Nightwalker hits you. The Nightwalker hits you. The Nightwalker hits you. The Nightwalker hits you. You hit the Nightwalker. You miss the Nightwalker. You hit the Nightwalker. You have destroyed the Nightwalker. It magically summons animals. The Pit Fiend claws you. You are enveloped in flames! The Pit Fiend misses you. The Pit Fiend misses you. The Pit Fiend bites you. You feel sickly for a moment, but the feeling passes. The Nightwing looks deep into your eyes. You resist the effects! The Ancient bronze dragon casts a fearful illusion. You refuse to be frightened. The Ancient multi-hued dragon misses you. The Ancient multi-hued dragon claws you. The Ancient multi-hued dragon bites you. The Bile Demon breathes gas. You die. [Scene of Death]

I think that the business practices of Kodak should be thoroughly investigated first. I think there is (in today`s marketplace) something very wrong when we in Europe, cannot buy Kodak films straight from the manufacturer or a distributing organization of Kodak. When we want TRI-X it is "made in America" that means cut and packed in cassettes in Mexico, shipped to Brazil and from there bought as "grey import" to Germany. If you tried to buy it from adorama or B&H, the answer was "USA only"
If Kodak or the consortum that continues production in Rochester, would have a mail order set up that ships within 4-5 days everywhere in globe, just as chinese vendors do, I guess the profits for them would go up 100-200%
The price structure would be based on quantity, so bigger orders would be encouraged. everybody knows that B&W film will stay perfect in freezer even the past date is 5 years old.
