Hi. Way back in 2003 I started a thread ... Non-electric outdoor hand tools.... but I do not know how to post it as a link here. Can anyone help? Thanks
Just learned a lovely trick for my Kindle program (have the kindle but also have the app on my laptop, ipad, and iphone ... yeah, I'm "plugged in" due to the business but honest to pete on some days it feels more like a leash or noose than anything else).
Anywho, with the kindle you get an email address ... they assign it ... and you can send your kindle documents as an email attachment and they show up on your kindle device. I sent myself several documents in .docx format and had absolutely no trouble with images or anything else and they showed up in five minutes. Supposedly .pdfs take longer but I haven't tried one of those yet though you can also apparently get them converted to the actual kindle format. There is a 5 gig limit on personal documents but I suspect by using that program that Dennis posted about some months back you could convert on your hard drive and then upload and not have to touch the 5 gig limit.
Just thought I would pass that along as another method of backing things up for a period of time.

Does anyone know of a Red Cross Manual pdf file? I am not seeing one out in google land. That would be a great one to have printed out.
People, I know we love our kindles, but what happens if an emp hits or when we can't finally charge it? Seriously think about printing out good manuals if you can't go buy them in hard form. Grandpappys for example has tons of recipes that don't use eggs! I need those, so I printed. Just a thought =)

State Trooper Escapes Serious Injury in I-195 Crash
A New Jersey state trooper escaped serious injury when his cruiser and another vehicle collided on Interstate 195, a crash that caused the cruiser to burst into flames.
The trooper and the driver of the other car were both treated for minor injuries after Tuesday's crash, but their names were not disclosed.
Authorities say the crash occurred around 4 p.m. in the eastbound lanes in Hamilton Township (Mercer County), when either the trooper or the driver abruptly stopped in a bid to avoid an unrelated crash that occurred on the highway. The trooper's cruiser caught fire moments later and was soon fully engulfed in flames.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation Tuesday night.

If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else.

Welcome to the 2018 SSC website!
Stromness SC is a small and friendly sailing club based at the Ness Point end of Stromness harbour, close to Stromness Golf Club. Click on the Orkney Map to the right to zoom in on the location, indicated by a marker.
Check out the Stromness Sailing Club's Facebook page.
The membership of Stromness SC comprises a mixture of dinghy sailors who race during the summer season and others who sail just for fun.
The main class of dinghy raced is the Snipe and around thirteen of them are based at the Club. Having a principal class ensures that there is good racing but other classes are also welcome and handicap racing can be provided. For more information about racing click on the Club Racing link here or on the menu.
New Members are welcome and information about membership fees are given on the Membership page. If you do not have your own boat you might consider offering your services as crew. Some skippers have regular crews but others have to settle for picking up whoever is available or not sail at all.
If you are not already experienced, crewing is a good way to learn the ropes and gain confidence in a boat. Building up a stable partnership between skipper and crew helps to improve competitiveness. Crews also have their own points series and the Club aims to offer one Crew Race each Thursday evening, weather permitting.
Although Stromness SC is not itself an RYA Training Establishment, several members are trained RYA Dinghy Senior Instructors, Dinghy Instructors and Race Coaches and able to provide training for members, especially youth. A small youth group is currently undergoing training in this way. Final RYA certification, where applicable, has to be arranged through a recognised RYA Training Establishment, such as Orkney SC in Kirkwall RYA Training Establishment.

Before & After Botox
Holy mother of all f&ckedupness.
Take a look at Lara Flynn Boyle. If you can stomach it…take a close look at Lara Flynn Boyle. Those of you with kinder hearts will perhaps plead her case by calling this some kind of disorder. Those of you, like me, who are going to hell will call this a direct result of punishing your body by not eating, for years not eating, and by mangling your face with injections. Too many injections.
No nutrition + too many injections = Lara Flynn Boyle
Even her hair is falling out!
And she was once a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman! Remember Lara Flynn Boyle? BEFORE the alleged anorexia, before the pink tutu… remember what she used to look like? Here – see what she used to look like, then revisit how it died from there, and then have your lunch with gusto. Grab that little pocket of fat around your waist and give it a love rub. Because that pocket is GOOD. That pocket is better. That pocket is a living, breathing, thriving pocket of beauty that Lara Flynn Boyle will never get back.

Software engineer Snejana Shegheva knew her company had a problem explaining its complicated technology to clients.
She wanted a simpler way to demonstrate how the firm, DataXu, which provides online marketing services, uses mathematical formulas to determine when and where clients should buy advertising on websites. Then, as any good geek does, she was watching a favorite television show, "Spongebob Squarepants," when inspiration struck.
"Spongebob was teaching Patrick how to blow bubbles. First the bubble was huge and beautiful, but complicated. Then the bubble burst into thousands of smaller, simpler bubbles."
Shegheva thought, what if DataXu broke out all the information it churns through every day into individual bubbles — and bubbles within bubbles — each a floating, clickable sphere providing an insight into the media-buying decision?
So several weeks ago Shegheva took the idea to DataXu's semiannual "Innovation Day," where she and colleagues got a break from work to tinker with new ideas. The result was a new data visualization tool that gave clients and colleagues significantly more information about an advertising campaign.
Time was, companies held the corporate retreat, where the bosses and managers would huddle in some off-site location to noodle over ways to improve the business. But today, especially in the technology sector, companies hold innovation days, or hacking sessions, where employees are given time away from the daily grind to work on projects that excite them. Some sessions are highly structured, tackling an already identified problem; others are more free-form, allowing employees to pursue the more whimsical.
"The question is, how do you create a pipeline of innovation?" said Patrick Supanc, founder of Boston education start-up, Alleyoop, which holds "hackathons" where employees tackle specific problems. "Creating dedicated time is really important. It's tough to scale innovation when the only time to innovate is on nights and weekends."
Dedicated innovation days have become popular within the technology industry thanks in part to Google Inc. Early on in its corporate life, the search engine giant introduced the idea of "20 percent time," where employees were encouraged to devote roughly one-fifth of their time on ideas they dreamed up themselves, said Ryan Tate, author of "20% Doctrine: How Tinkering, Goofing off, and Breaking the Rules at Work Drive Success in Business."
"Google created the expectation that there will be 'play time' at work," said Tate, pointing out that several major products, including Gmail and Google Reader were born from employees noodling on their 20 percent time.
Backed by publishing giant Pearson Education Inc., Alleyoop provides teens with customized online tutoring in math and science. At its first hackathon this summer one team sought to add game-playing attributes to lesson plans: in this case, to see if competition among students would stimulate learning.
"Six weeks later, we had a leader board in use," said Supanc, and now Alleyoop clients can compare their performance against other students online. "There are a lot of innovative ideas floating around in people's heads, but it's hard to bring them into fruition. That's what these events can do."
At Kayak, the online travel site with operations in Concord, executives set aside a whole week for the pursuit of the innovative. Primarily to develop team building, Kayak's hack week has produced new ideas that benefit customers, such as direct booking, which allows travelers to conduct all their travel business — flights, hotels, and cars — without leaving the website.
"We try not to rule out the most radical ideas, but rather to winnow out some of the weaker concepts," said Kayak chief architect Bill O'Donnell. "Generally, we'll let people do what they want if they are passionate about it."
Brand Networks, a Boston software firm that provides marketing services on Facebook, has 13 projects slated for its next hack day, in December, such as an application based on the antigay bullying campaign, "It Gets Better."
"We encourage everyone to use 10 percent of their time dreaming up new ideas.'' said chief executive Jamie Tedford, who said the best results from hack day will be implemented immediately. "The only guidepost is that they need be social by nature and fit with and extend our core offerings."
Not everyone in the tech world is convinced that dedicating time away from the core business is practical or effective. "I do value structural models that put time and resources behind ideas," said Guy Podjarny, chief product officer at Akamai Technologies, the Internet services company in Cambridge.
But Akamai doesn't have a policy that sets specific time aside. Instead, Podjarny said, there is an ongoing culture of innovation that encourages employees to pitch ideas, the best of which are pursued by the company.
At DataXu, Shegheva's Spongbob bubbles have morphed into a working prototype that will be refined at another session in December. Bill Simmons, DataXu's chief technology officer, said the innovation day is a chance for his employees to exercise their minds in new areas without rules or hierarchy.
"We have benefited immensely from the ideas generated through innovation day with many of DataXu's most innovative products resulting from innovation day ideas,'' Simmons said. "We feel strongly that in order to stay ahead in a competitive market we need to tap into all of our employees' creativity because our employees are passionate about building the best product for our customers."
Meanwhile Shegheva is convinced her idea would have languished if she hadn't had the chance to explore it with colleagues on DataXu's innovation day.
"It's important to completely get outside your level of comfort," Shegheva said. Otherwise, she said, you might fail to notice that "even Spongebob can be an inspiration."

|My Angel, sleeping on Christmas Eve.
There are really only 2 options I am considering. Where I live, we have 2 french schools, one public, one catholic. One is old and one is newer. One is smaller (approx. 200 students in total) and the other one is bigger (approx. 600 students). Last evening I went to the smaller school's information session and was quite impressed. Next week will be the other school's info session and then I have to make a decision. Although we can always change our mind, my goal would be to stay in the same school until he is done 8th grade and not have to move him to another school because I realize I made the wrong choice.
Just thinking about him going to school brings tears to my eyes. His education and social integration is so important and I want to look at every aspects before making a decision.
For any of you who have had to make this decision or will have to in the future, what would be important aspects that you would consider in making your choice? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Above is (part 1 of) a compilation of wrestlers going through the WWE Spanish broadcast table. That poor plywood table, and to a lesser extent the actual announcers, have become a part of WWE mythology. Carlos Cabrera and Hugo Savinovich have had Mick Foley in their laps more than Mrs. Foley has.
So who wouldn't want to join them? The WWE is hiring a new Spanish announcer, and it could be usted. It's part-time and out of their Connecticut studios, so we don't think Carlos and Hugo are going anywhere (they've been working together since 1993).
Experience calling live events is a must; basic carpentry skills are a plus.

Our Philosophy
At Youthful Images, it is our philosophy that each patient is a unique individual and should be treated as such. For over 20 years it has been our goal to deliver to our patients the safest, most effective cosmetic treatments available. In the process of achieving this goal, the practice expanded and has become a state of the art comprehensive cosmetic center, mostly due to the unique needs of our patients.
Clinical skincare and nutritional supplements have become cornerstones of the practice, by helping patients of all ages and skin types, look and feel their best every day.
As laser technology became available in the early 1990s, it became clear these advances would help to treat patients troubled by unwanted hair, spider veins, sun damage and acne.
For those individuals desiring surgical enhancements, our desire has been to offer more that the average surgical experience. Privacy and personalized care are two areas our patients value highly. We offer a fully Connecticut licensed ambulatory surgical center for the convenience and safety of our patients. The patient care given by our highly trained and certified operating room team is unparalleled. By providing our own on site surgical suite, you can be assured that all patients are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, while maintaining their privacy. Post operatively, lymphatic drainage massages are performed by a licensed massage therapist to reduce swelling and promote recovery.
We are always researching new and innovative treatments. Only after careful consideration for effectiveness and patient safety will a treatment or product be offered by Youthful Images.
It is our promise to every patient that we will continue to meet their needs and provide the highest level of care available.

Bulldogs Get 2-Point Weekend
HAMILTON, N.Y. – The Bulldogs' string of unbeaten games came to an end at six against a strong opponent with one more victory than the guys from New Haven. Colgate got two goals from Tylor Spink and 35 saves from Spencer Finney in a 4-1 men's hockey win over No. 7/8 Yale before 1,962 at Starr Rink.
The Raiders (13-9-2, 5-6-1 ECAC) erased a 1-0 deficit with four straight goals to earn a conference weekend sweep. Two of the four came with the advantage, while the home team blanked the Blue on four chances.
Yale (12-5-3, 8-4-1), coming out of the weekend with two points after the OT victory at Cornell on Friday, had 28 saves from senior goalie Jeff Malcolm.
The Raiders had the first three shots of the game, but the Bulldogs finished the first period with a 12-9 edge and scored the only goal of the frame at the 6:00 mark. Yale, transitioning quickly from defense to offense, got the puck near center ice and put on the burners. Nicholas Weberg carried toward the blueline and fed Andrew Miller, who was coming through the middle and dished to the right circle for Kenny Agostino. The junior forward one-timed the pass past Finney for his 11th of the year.
There were chances to add to the lead in the first period - primarily with two advantages – but the Colgate netminder held on.
The Colgate power play has been very effective recently, and it got the home team the equalizer with 4:12 left in the second. Malcolm made two big stops on one flurry but the third was an easy put-back by Spink.
Late offensive pressure by the visitors resulted in a three face-offs in the Raider end over the last 20 seconds. The last drop of the puck in the second period came with two ticks on the clock and Malcolm out of the cage for an extra skater. The puck ended up in the back of the net as the buzzer sounded, and referee Scott Whittemore waving his arms to say it did not count. The officials left the ice to look at the video as the intermission promotion began and ruled the goal came too late.
The Raiders took the lead, 2-1, at 4:24 of the third on a wrist shot from the inside of the left circle by Kevin Lough and made it three straight nearly four minutes later with a John Lidgett tally. Spink added a late power-play tally.
Andrew Miller's assist on the Yale goal was his 12th of the season (103 career), and every one of them have been primary helpers… The Elis return to Ingalls next weekend for an ECAC set with Princeton and Quinnipiac. The game with the Bobcats airs live on CPTV Sports… The Yale lineup was the same as Friday with one exception; Matthew Beattie replaced rookie classmate Charles Orzetti at forward.

Is this possible to configure from ISPConfig? I found this website: http://docs.ispconfig.org/creating-web-sites/alias-web-domains/ but I'm not sure of it and don't want to mess things up. 2. When I go to the monitor tab and I would like to see information about server state. For example CPU Info I get this message: This happens with other monitors too. Sometimes I see the info I want and sometimes I only get that message below. So it seems to be very random. Any solutions for this?

It doesn't quite rank with the same influence as Business Insider's "50 Women Who Are Changing the World," but even in sports, sex sells, and UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rouseyisn't one to shy away from that aspect of promotion.
Just days after she landed on the Business Insider list of influential women and the cover of ESPN The Magazine's 15th Anniversary issue, Rousey revealed that she made the Maxim Hot 100 list of the world's sexiest women. She posted a provocative photo of herself from a Maxim photoshoot across her various social media accounts announcing her inclusion.
Of course, it's not the first time that Rousey posed nude for a photo shoot.
Rousey was featured in ESPN The Magazine's 2012 Body Issue, which features athletes in nude artistic poses. She even graced one of six special covers of the magazine.
The Maxim Hot 100 list is voted on by readers of the magazine. Rousey landed in the No. 29 position for the 2013 list.
Only a small portion of the list had been revealed on Tuesday. The Top 10 has yet to be revealed, but Rousey already finds herself amongst the likes of Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Demi Lovato, and Oliva Munn on the list.
Her inclusion on the list is one of the latest representations of how popular Rousey and women's MMA have become, particularly in the short amount of time since they have been ushered into theUFC.

Entries in Verge (1)
Voila, she is finished.
I had lots to do today. Heavy duty spin and then weights for 3 hours in the AM, kid play all afternoon then unpacking all the boxes from Verge and re-packing into individual bags for all the team-mates today. Thanks to our Devo team for assisting! They basically ran the show! One other thing was to visit BCS and pick up my new Rock Lobster for next season. (Don't ask me why i had it built up. It's sort of like having a bad case of blue balls I suspect. I needed to 'release' and see the thing built up).
It came out sweet. With Mavic Open Pro/Hugi's, a bunch of Ritchey WCS (although I'll have other wheels this coming season to race on) and the Alpha Q, this Easton Ultra Light is 18lbs. Not stupid light (my Scandium RL with the FSA's is 17.3 pounds) but light enough. I am 6'2 and about 180 when I race so I figure I can skip a couple-a Newcastles before I get stupid light equipment.
An interesting twist was related to the Alpha Q. I had this fork on my Scott Team CX this season and while on ,it had a significantly longer steerer. Problem: When you buy and install Alpha Q's, they are essentially on THAT bike for life. Why? You cut the carbon steerer, then permanently glue in this Aluminum shim which holds the star nut in place with the same shit they bond rotor blades of Apache's with. So, I'm thinking I am humped and have to buy a new fork. D-Wayne (THE MAN) at BCS called True Temper directly and got the green light to cut RIGHT through that shit! Good as gold. He cut through the carbon and on through the aluminum shim, pushed down the star nut and voila, correct steerer length for this bike.
I blinged out this bike with some carbon fiber love. Some FSA CX carbon cranks (175 x 110BCD) and a 42t FSA ring. Note the carbon chain guides. Hand made by Joe De Paemelaere of Primus Mootry here in town. Dope. Super stiff.
Lastly, Brandon waranteed a few Fizik Arione saddles for me. The guys at Fizik were cool and swapped out the seats I broke this CX season (2 of 'em). Apparently there was some flaw that cracked right at the flex points directly through the middle of the underside of the saddle....obviously exacerbated by 'cross regardless of how smooth your remounts are. I run 'em on my road bikes and love 'em so I wanted to try for 'cross. C'est la vie. I'm going with 'em again this season.
Finally, to my earlier point, the 07 uni's are in and they are sick. Verge nailed the design spot on.

Anyway, in years past, I have blogged about trans-border water - rivers and the like- and discussed rivers that cross the DMZ.
Recently, North Korea announced they were going to increase water flow across the border, and in fact have done so.
From the article:
North Korean media said Sunday that as many as 143 millimeters of rain had fallen in a town near the border city of Kaesong while heavy rains had continued in many other regions for days.
Last October, the South demanded an apology from the North for the deadly flash flood, leading the communist neighbor to express regret and convey a message of condolences to the bereaved.

At a certain point in late autumn, on a chilly, and sunny November day, the entire neighborhood's grandmas, moms, and chunyu (young maid) will gather around in one house, or in a two or even three houses for the winter kimchi making.
In the southern part of Korea, where I grew up, I think about those winter kimchi making fall days as a fun memory. Mostly, I would just watch since I was not big enough to directly join in, but I helped with odds and ends and stuff, carrying a bucket here and there, delivering more hot peppers, or sesame seeds.
Pictured above, Korea in 1947. Photo credit: via Flickr, contributed by dok1. The photo was taken in 1946 -- and so, roughly around the time of this memory from MoM below. We encourage you to view dok1's entire Korean photo set from 1945-1947 here.
First, a truckful of baechu (napa cabbages), moo (radish), pa (green onion) and fresh gat (mustard green) would be loaded into a house where they were scheduled to make winter kimchi. Then, the prep work would begin: trimming the ends of the cabbages, radishes, green onions – peeling the garlic and ginger roots. The first day was busy doing all the prep work and salting the cabbages with coarse sea salt.
The kimchi making was so busy! I can picture the scene, from a long time ago: some women are busy making kimchi, washing marinated cabbage, cutting and shredding radishes, cutting fresh squids into small pieces; some are chopping pickled shrimps, washing oysters, and chopping up pickled anchovies. And other women are busy making the food that can feed all the workers that day -- they would cut up some fresh cabbages, some daepa (giant green onion), and cook it in a big iron pot with big pieces of meat (beef) in it. I can't remember everything they put it, but it tasted so good with the freshly made gutjuri (seasoned fresh cabbage), and most importantly haep ssal bap – rice cooked with the newly harvested not long ago from the field.
When all the kimchi stuffing was ready, it was time for filling and smearing the stuffing on the the cabbage leaves. They would stuff as much as one leaf can hold between the leaves, and wrap it up with one long outer leaves. That completed the process of making one whole head of napa kimchi.
My favorite kind was made with fresh oysters; the fall oysters that they were used were very small and dark colored with sweet juice and smelled so fresh and flavorful. I was so happy when the ladies handed me a freshly made yellow kimchi soknip (inner leaves) with bunch of stuffing on it, and when I tasted the fresh oyster inside the stuffing, oh my, it tasted sooo good.
Before making the winter kimchi, one of the preparations was for the men to dig a big hole in the backyard. My grandma's house had large kimchi jars, as tall as 3-4' and as wide as your arms can make a full circle. Those jars had already been buried underground, and as the prepared kimchi would be filled to the rim – adding cut radishes at the bottom of the jar and in between the kimchi bundles.
Once the the jars were filled, they would put some extra salted cabbage leaves on top, close the lid, and on the top of the jar, they put some plastic and some dry hay, to prevent from freezing. So, during those freezing winter months, the kimchi stayed very fresh and it had very distinct taste, a lot different than the regular kimchi.
This was when I was growing up in the countryside, when the winters at the time seemed a lot colder than nowadays -- colder and longer, and with less food. Vegetables were not readily available and the winter kimchi that fermented naturally underground, tasting so fresh, like a winter salad.
I don't think they make that much winter kimchi these days now that there are more fresh vegetables available all year long from the green house and from other countries. And they even invented a kimchi refrigerator that can keep kimchi fresh for months at a time. But I bet it wouldn't match the taste of the naturally fermented winter kimchi I tasted long ago at my grandma's house.

Former classical ballet dancers often branch into teaching or choreography — or leave dance altogether. But whether it is because of the profound style differences, a preference for the classical form, or even a lack of awareness of the possibilities in the format, few make the transition to Broadway.
Choreographer Sean Kelly is one who successfully has made the move. After a successful ballet career, culminating in principal dancer and ballet master status at Houston Ballet, Kelly was hired by Twyla Tharp in 2003 to dance in Movin' Out. He toured with the show for five years as dancer and resident choreographers.
After leaving Movin' Out, he joined the first national tour of Billy Elliott as resident choreographer, where he modified Peter Darling's choreography to showcase the abilities of the individual actors playing Billy.
In addition to his choreography projects, Kelly is a member of Rasta Thomas's Bad Boys of Dance. Over time, his assignments with the company have included dancing and ballet master duties; most recently, he has added resident choreographer and associate director responsibilities.
Dance Vine: How did you make the transition to Broadway from a successful career in ballet? Did you have to re-tool your dancing technique to make this successful?
Sean Kelly: When I first started dancing, I studied at a studio in Marin that taught all styles of dance like jazz, modern, Latin American, and ballroom, along with some ballet. It was later, when I went to Marin Ballet, that I began to focus primarily on classical dance. I do think that the variety of my early training helped me be open to different styles and techniques. I also think that the diverse contemporary repertoire I had the pleasure to dance while at Houston Ballet and other classical companies helped me to be a versatile dancer.
So, when I did make the transition to Broadway, I felt that I was able to pick up the various styles quickly. My classical technique was helpful, and I became known as one of the Broadway people who could help other cast members technically, as well as stylistically, with choreographers' works.
Also, the experience of having been a choreographer and ballet master encouraged people to offer me some wonderful opportunities. In addition to performing as a swing for Broadway and touring productions, I have mostly been a dance captain, resident director, or resident choreographer — or a combination thereof.
As resident choreographer for a Broadway show or touring company, how often do you go back to check on things to ensure the cast is performing at peak wonderfulness?
I have always been either a swing or a resident on the tours I have been on, so I was able to check the show on a daily basis. I generally give at least some notes every few days so the show stays looking as good as possible.
It's a delicate balance with noting, as the show usually is being performed eight times a week. I like to give enough notes to remind people of the details that make the show really strong without nitpicking too much. I want the cast to feel that I trust they will continually deliver a good performance, but also let them know I am watching and care that they and the show look their best.
For A Swingin' Holiday are you using the original orchestrations — especially with the Ellington and Goodman? If not, who is doing them?
I am using the re-working of some holiday classics like Jingle Bells, the Dreidel Song, and Nutcracker selections by the likes of Duke Ellington, Ted Wilson, and Corky Hale, among others. Diablo Ballet Music Director Greg Sudmeier is arranging the music for the ballet.
Unlike ballet orchestras, most jazz bands are unused to phrasing work for dancing. How have you approached this challenge?
With Greg's help, I have picked selections that I like, as well as ones that I feel are both appropriate to choreograph to and also ones that inspire me to create movement. I also chose a variety of tempos and qualities in the music to help make the piece more varied and to assist the dancers with their characterizations.
When working with dancers, is it more difficult to bring ballet to Broadway or Broadway to a ballet company?
I would say that depends on the dancers.
Some classical dancers are uncomfortable stepping out of the classical box, so to speak. However, given how much varied repertoire is expected from classical dancers these days, I think this is becoming less common.
For Broadway performers, some either haven't had a lot of classical training or are somewhat uncomfortable trying it. But, these days, I also see more people with classical training in Broadway shows.
Personally, I'm a big fan of training in different styles, with an emphasis in classical study, because it likely will serve a performer well and prevent injury.
The Diablo Ballet dancers are incredibly excited and open to exploring different ways of moving. And, of course, they are well-trained classical dancers. That combination makes it enjoyable for me to work with them.
What would you consider your "dream project"?
Variety keeps me excited. I feel I have been very fortunate to be a part of some amazing ballets, in addition to some amazing Broadway shows.
In addition, I find it rewarding to take care of a show like Movin' Out or Billy Elliot. At the same time, I love having the opportunity to be creative on a project like this one with Diablo Ballet, where I get to craft something new.
What do you have scheduled for the coming season?
I will be returning to Bad Boys of Dance, which is a company based out of Maryland that my colleague, Rasta Thomas, started about five years ago. Currently, I am the associate director.
The dancers in Bad Boys of Dance are a diverse group of athletic young men who have training in ballet as well as acrobatics. There are a few beautiful and talented young ladies in the company as well, but the main focus is to show how athletic and exciting ballet can be for men. The company has been touring extensively in Europe and has also traveled to Australia, New Zealand, and India this year. In addition to enjoying my work with the company, and hopefully passing on a lot of the wonderful training I have received, it has been fun to travel with this great group.
And there is good news for Bay Area dance fans — Bad Boys of Dance will be in the Northern California area January 22, 24, and 26, 2013, with performances in Modesto, Folsom, and Santa Rosa.
This weekend, join Diablo Ballet for the world premiere of Kelly's A Swingin' Holiday, performed to live music from jazz legends Duke Ellington, Nat "King" Cole, Wynton Marsalis, along with the familiar Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky. The Jose Limón classic The Moor's Pavane and the California premiere of Lento a Tempo e Appassionato by Vicente Nebrada (Ballet National de Caracas) round out the program.

Hair Colouring found in 33837
We haven't found any salons in 33837.Why don't you help us adding beauty salons we may have missed: Add a beauty salon
Hair Colouring
Hair colouring comes in many different formats these days here is a breakdown of the main options
Highlights and Low lights - Highlights can give your hair a lift as well as adding extra depth with low lights focussing on the extra depth. It is often far more natural to have highlights and can provide a far more subtle change. Most highlights are done using foils and lights but if you are just having one colour it can be done with a highlighting cap. Some people go for a half head of highlights again producing a more subtle look whilst others go for a full head providing a more dramatic look.
Full head of colour - Full heads of colour are done for an all over look and are usually just in one shade. Some people have one colour and then have highlights on top of this. You can buy hair colour out of a box but many salons will mix and match different colours to create the perfect shade for you.
Dip Dye and Ombre- Over the last couple of years a new dying trend has emerged in the form of Dip Dye hair or Ombre. This is where you have coloured hair dye applied to just the bottom of your hair usually from the chin downwards. Dip dye tends to be bright colours. Ombre is where you have lighter shade than your own applied to the bottom of your hair so it looks like its is fading out to a different colour.

Mounted onto my Kona rear disc quite easily. Each of the mounting pieces can be individually adjusted through hex-key bolts for the right fit. Looks like a pannier will only fit on one side due to the design of the left metal piece (will try and confirm) Overall, it looks sleek and skinnier compared to other brands of disc-enabled racks.

the simplest summer supper - squid and samphire. And a warning about Twitter.
But I didn't blog about it then because, as some of you will know, I've been acutely afflicted by a shocking I.T. disease called Twitter.
You want to watch out for it. You can try, as I did, to resist it for as long as possible. But from the moment you succumb, your life might never be the same again. Be warned. Be prepared for a period of adjustment. During that time, my top tips are: remember to breathe, eat, and sleep. Be prepared for strange looks from your friends, family, and partner/hanger-on/one-night stand. Also be prepared to respond to the question: 'Why are you writing to someone called hollowlegs?' I can tell you now - any answer you come up with will sound hopelessly dodgy.
So briefly and finally - but hopefully better late than never - a word about samphire and squid.
It's quite simple. Samphire rocks. It is one of the most lush foodie expressions of summer. Green, succulent, salty, and with a whiff of the sea about it, it's the perfect answer to a hot day. If you haven't tried it, put it on your list of things to do next summer. To cook it: steam it for 2 or 3 minutes, then serve with a generous shake of pepper and a generous knob of butter. That's really all there is to it.
And squid is hardly any more effort. Personally, I like to marinade it (it = opened out tubes + tentacles) for a few minutes in some olive oil, chilli, basil, garlic and a little lemon or lime juice. And then just throw it on the grill or into a hot pan. Cook for no more than a couple of minutes each side, and preferably less - you don't want it to go rubbery.
Wash down with a bottle of a super-chilled Pinot Grigio. There are few meals simpler, tastier, or more summery.
This is, of course, the 'before' photo. By the time I'd cooked the stuff, daylight had vanished under a storm cloud, and the 'after' photo suffered somewhat from being taken under artificial light. Trust me, it looked mighty fine to the naked eye, but rather off-puttingly lurid in the photo. Since I want to encourage rather than deter you, I've therefore left the 'after' version to your imagination. The important thing to remember is that it tastes completely fab.

I've always wanted to try samphire but where can you buy it fresh and good? I love squid - I had some last night actually. I was always shy about cooking it but now I've got the hang of it, it is one of the easiest, quickest things to prepare for dinner. Do you know if it is a fatty fish? All these things I like inevitably tend to be and then I'm like 'oh bugger - and there I was thinking I was being all healthy...'

I love samphire. Whenever we cook fish I ask the fishmonger for some and they normally have some tucked away. Squid, as far as I know is very healthy...

Lizzie - hey! thanks for popping by, esp as you're mentioned. DO try samphire as soon as you can. You'll wonder why you didn't before.
Curious Cat - defo not a fatty fish. Quite the opposite. Enjoy sans guilt!
Browners - if I've changed your menu, then that's my job well done, I reckon. Hope you can find some.
Helen - you did, you did. I have only myself to blame, I know...
goodshoeday - hoping it's not too woody. You're in for a treat.

Agree twitter is as addictive as crack :S have now taken to going off-line altogether when I need to concentrate on work!
Samphire is indeed a thing of beauty, love that 'ozone' tang you get from it...usually have it with grilled fish but like the idea of pairing it with squid - thanks :D

I didn't check to see the quality, but I know there was samphire at one of the stalls at Borough market this past Saturday.
It didn't fit in with my purple theme apparently, since all I bought was beets and purple carrots!

ooh would love to try samphire - sounds wonderful but I have never had the luck to find it
have just warned my partner to stay away from twitter after your warning - he would be terrible - and beside you can't have gorgeous pics of samphire on twitter!
- 22 August 2009 at 01:46
- aforkfulofspaghetti said...
squish - thank you. Good to see you here!
Pia - I think you'd love samphire.
Nicisme - it's the easiest thing to cook, it really is. Just like asparagus.
Johanna - it's worth making the effort to track some down in the summer. You won't regret it! And yes, if you ever want to have a sensible conversation with your partner again - keep him away from Twitter!

Discovered samphire this past spring and absolutely love the stuff! Will have to try it with squid as you suggest.
If interested, here's what I did with mine - tossed it with udon, seaweed and flying fish roe. Liked the result, but let me know what you think!
If helpful for those in London, I've found it at Steve Hatt (Essex Road, Angel), Whole Foods (High St Ken) and this fishmonger on Golborne Road (Notting Hill) in the May - July zone

Arcade Sushi Asks: What's Your Favorite Game to Play on Tour?
In the first edition of Arcade Sushi Asks in 2014, we partnered with our headbanging brothers over at Loudwire to hit the hard rocking members of bands like Steel Panther, Drowning Pool, Escape the Fate and more with the biggest question of their careers.
"What's Your Favorite Game to Play on Tour?"
Stix Zadinia (Steel Panther)
"My favorite game to play on tour is UFC Undisputed 3. In fact, our entire band plays it almost nightly. It's like therapy on the road. After a while, being in such close quarters with the same dudes can start to drive you insane. I love my band, but sometimes you just want to beat the f--- out of your buddy. UFC 3 allows us to kick each other's asses and talk smack, which in turn, makes everybody happy. I think that if Van Halen would have had UFC 3, they would never have broken up and David Lee Roth would be at Eddie's house right now making sandwiches and waiting for the Xbox to cool off for another round!!!!"

Chachi Riot (Pop Evil)
"We do a fair amount of gaming on the road. Everything from New Super Mario Bros Wii, to NHL, Call of Duty and Borderlands for PlayStation 3, to Rampage and Excite Bike for NES. We're well-rounded and diverse. I think my favorite game to play on tour is NHL 14. It's competitive, I'm a huge Wings fan and we do a lot of team play. It's a great bonding opportunity for all of us the bus. We play 1-on-1, 2-on-2 or 4 versus the computer, and it's always competitive and always fun. We even bought a miniature 'Cup' for the champ to keep and sleep with; although there's not much room in the bunk for extras. GO WINGS!!"

CJ Pierce (Drowning Pool)
"I don't usually have time to play any games on tour, but when I do I love playing Galaga. Call me old school, but I just love shooting those aliens!"
Jasen Moreno (Drowning Pool)
"I usually try to stay current with what's hot at the time. It also depends on our mode of travel. If we're in a bus I have a super sweet complete Xbox 360 setup in my bunk. I played Call of Duty: Black Ops II and BioShock Infinite a few tours back. For fly dates I rock handhelds. Recently in San Diego I had my 3DS XL and was rocking Super Mario 3D Land and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. I'm grateful for today's tech allowing for gaming on the go. I get down on my iPhone and iPad as well. Helps to ease a homesick heart and keep me out of trouble for the most part. So I guess my answer is any and everything gamer oriented, I'm all about it."

The Wizard (Pilgrim)
"I'd say any Final Fantasy is my favorite to play on tour because there's nothing better than grinding and a good storyline on a long-ass drive. Any game that requires tedious or repetitive gameplay is perfect. Submit to the grind! Submit! Any Blizzard game would rule. I wish we still played World of Warcraft. That would be the perfect game. Last tour, all I had was my cellphone, so I played Tower of Fortune the whole time. I never ended up beating it. I kept dying on the very last level. For a luck-based game, it was pretty addictive!
"Krolg (Pilgrim's drummer) just got a PS Vita, so it looks like this time around he'll be playing the beautiful Final Fantasy IV remake. It's probably my favorite of the older Final Fantasy games. While we were recording our new record VOID WORSHIP, Krolg played gratuitous amounts of Skyrim. It enhanced the recording process ten-fold. Skyrim would be an excellent game to play on tour as well!"

Max Green (Escape the Fate)
"Favorite game to play on tour? Halo 2. It's a classic, so bands are familiar with it and it had such a big impact when it came out. Multiplayer is dope and it's a great game to play and talk s--- to your friends about after you win, which I always win!!!"

Daniel Williams (The Devil Wears Prada)
"My current favorite game to play on tour is League of Legends. It'd come as no surprise to my band to find me skipping a 'family dinner' or night out at the movies to catch a few extra League matches. I've always been a fan of massive multi-player online gaming, and League hits all the right marks. It's got a great competitive style of gameplay that I felt World of Warcraft was lacking (my previous vice). There are always ways to improve your skill, whether it be practicing against people, bots, or even watching others play on lolesports.com.
"I've tried other MOBA style games, but none of them seem to compare. I love the fact that I can find a group of friends, bust out some snacks and energy drinks, and lose myself for hours. It's also quick to join a game if you're rolling solo as well, so fear not, my loner-friends; there are 30 million or so companions waiting to find a game as well."

"If I was bringing a laptop on tour it would most definitely be StarCraft 2. It has been around for so long, yet I am unable to get sick of it. There is always someone far better than you, so it stays challenging. Plus, I always enjoy raging on the battlefield against people from other continents. Protoss for life!"

"The game we've played most as a group over the years is FIFA Soccer. We've gone through various gaming systems, but always wound up having some pretty heated FIFA tournaments. There have been many controllers thrown and broken, game consoles punched on more than a few occasions and friendships temporarily lost because of those tournaments. Even though emotions escalate at times it still helps us pass the time during some of those long drives."

"We are big fans from FIFA! Since PlayStation 2 came out we've been hooked on it. Instead of recording or rehearsing we played the 2002 edition on and on. Strange to see that everybody in the band is so ambitious on this game. Of course we are all soccer fans. There are two teams in Munich: FC Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich. In our band we are half and half. I have the 2014 edition on my iPhone, but too little time to play. So we're all looking forward to the European tour in April. In the tour bus we'll have enough time to do an 'internal Bavarian Munich world' championship."

AfDB and Tunisia Sign a 387.6 Million Euro Loan Agreement to Support the Reforms During Transition Period
The African Development Bank, represented by Vice-President Ndoumbe Lobé and the Tunisian Minister for Investment and International Cooperation, Riadh Bettaieb, signed a 387.6 million euro loan agreement for the financing of the Economic Recovery and Inclusive Development Support Program (PARDI) for Tunisia. The loan was approved by the AfDB Board of Directors at its October 28 meeting.
"This program seeks to assist our country to successfully surmount this period of transition with a rapid and efficient response to the urgent and immediate needs coming in the wake of the revolution," said Minister Bettaieb.
The program is a continuation of the Bank's Governance and Inclusive Development Support Program (PAGDI) approved in May 2011, and reinforces the Bank's support of post-revolutionary Tunisia in areas relating to economic growth and the reduction of regional disparities. "The new program seeks to put the country on the road to inclusive growth and responds to the needs expressed by the Tunisian people through a series of measures aimed at the reduction of disparities, the promotion of growth, competitiveness and equal opportunities for employment," explained the Director of AfDB's Human Development Department, Agnes Soucat.
Employment remains a major challenge in Tunisia, and is one of the leading pillars of the program, which aims to revive the economy by improving the business environment, developing microfinance, and strengthening the effectiveness and governance of existing employment programs. Three objectives have been earmarked, in particular, namely the reduction of regional disparities and the fight against exclusion, the quest for inclusive growth, an increased rate of employment and competition, as well as the strengthening of citizens' cooperation and involvement, accountability and transparency.
The program also intends to make good the insufficiencies of the existing employment program and improve the system of insertion into the job market. It supports the new employment incentive program with more thorough supervision and a better insertion rate for job-seeking youths thanks to a more careful selection and a continuous follow-up with beneficiaries. It equally intends to improve the quality of teaching, giving added responsibility to learning institutions whose purpose is to ensure greater alignment between training programs and the demands of the job market.
Finally, efforts made by the Government will be sustained in the design and implementation of the national labour strategy.
Rural development is another important undertaking, with support provided by PARDI through concrete reforms to the local tax system, and the strengthening of social protection programs especially in impoverished regions.
"The country needs courageous structural reforms with a view to rekindling the economy and accelerating growth in the mid-term," said Jacob Kolster, AfDB Regional Director for the North Africa. "Budgetary support therefore seeks to encourage the government to speed up reforms while providing the necessary latitude for economic revival and the required investments to restore growth. The loan will be part of a series of measures for technical assistance."
The Economic Recovery and Inclusive Development Support Program is jointly funded by the AfDB, the World Bank and the European Union.

theHochGroup necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 185 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
The Hoch Group
We are a high-end real estate brokerage firm in NYC. We are young, hip, bold, and energetic but still professional and smart. We need a logo that can be used in print and web that should convey our brand easily and effectively on all our marketing materials online and offline.
We are targeting upscale, hip, cool, smart, savvy, educated, wealthy buyers and sellers of real estate in Manhattan.
Our goal is to create a cohesive design that represents all that is high end, organized, professional, sympathetic, progressive, and when necessary aggressive about our firm. The designs attached are good example of what we are looking for except they do not quite represent all of our best traits. I do like blue and grey as colors though. Give us something that is both professional and human yet aggressive and bold--this is exactly what has been missing from our previous efforts.
So let your creative juices flow. We will need this logo in web-ready and print-ready formats at the end of the contest. Please avoid the obvious uses of roofs and buildings--unless it is something really special. Those have been used a 1,000 times for real estate brokers and they are not smart or clever, unless of course you have a totally cool and unique take on the idea.
Good Luck!

I am sitting in the Plaza de Armas using the free wi-fi kindly provided by the city of Queretaro, Mexico to write this message to you out there in Blogger Land. My dad, sitting right next to me and using a Windows based computer (an Acer, it seems) can't pick up the signal that I'm getting. Computers are mysterious.
The photos on this page are from the nearby Plaza Zenea, where they have very cool displays of the Garden of Eden and Hell. I mentioned this last time, but now I've got photos to prove it! You can click on the photos to see them bigger if you want, by the way.
Also in the photos you can see a little friend I picked up at a toy stall here. I am calling him Gayzilla because he is so very festive and pink. I find pink festiveness to be very gay and happy, full of light-heartedness and merriment. Of course, as my friend Leilani pointed out, he may be a she (or perhaps trans-gendered! Don't want to leave anyone out!). But that doesn't make her (zir?) any less full of light-heartedness and merriment, so the name sticks!
What can I tell you about Mexico? I don't really have anything at all to report about the Zen scene here. I don't even know if there is one. But I didn't come here for the Zen. I came here to hang out with my dad, who is down here (see first paragraph).
The Hell display is intriguing. It gets a lot more traffic than the Eden display next to it. I've noticed that the rock scene in this city seems to be very oriented towards metal, the more satanic the better. Maybe there's a connection. The city's seemingly lone record store -- called Rockland, I believe -- seems stocked mainly with metal. Though they do have a healthy selection of punk and prog rock.
I also saw some metal/punk bands playing outdoors on the town square last night. One band played Judas Priest's "Breakin' The Law" and the old Them chestnut (via The Doors, I'm guessing from the singer's Doors T-shirt) "Gloria" with lyrics in Spanish. Another band played the Pistols' version of Eddie Cochran's "Something Else," also with Spanish lyrics. Those guys had two foot tall mohawks all around. At one point I caught a whiff of something that smelled like modeling glue and realized it was coming from one of those guys' hair! My friend Mike Mohawk used to use shellac to keep his mohawk up. So maybe glue works too.
This is a very religious country. Or at least a country in which the outward displays of religious-ness are highly valued. The place we're staying is decorated with crosses everywhere you look. The taxi drivers display pictures of Jesus on their dashboard. Both the friendly guy who drove us to the local Wal Mart (ugh! not my idea!) at a normal pace and the surly guy who drove us back to town like a deranged maniac had Jesus on display.
I don't really know what to make of it all. I can't speak enough Spanish to get any sense at all of what this stuff means to anyone here. The presence of so much satanic metal imagery along side all the religious stuff gives me some kind of hint. It seems like the younger people take pleasure in flaunting their irreverence for what the priests have taught them. I wonder if they ever have religious folk protesting the metal shows the way we do up North.
All right. My dad wandered off so I better go fetch him.
See ya!

NEW BEDFORD — Mayor Jon Mitchell wants to expand the city's middle school sports program and give more support to arts and music, arguing that successful middle schools are the ones that engage their students in a whole host of extracurricular activities.
NEW BEDFORD — Mayor Jon Mitchell wants to expand the city's middle school sports program and give more support to arts and music, arguing that successful middle schools are the ones that engage their students in a whole host of extracurricular activities.
"In general, kids who are engaged in sports and (the) arts actually tend to do better in school," said Mitchell in a recent phone interview.
Mitchell continued later: "We want to cultivate the kind of discipline and determination in them in the academic setting by cultivating it on the athletic field as well as in the band room."
Mitchell brought up the expansion of the sports program at a recent School Committee meeting. Ed Rodrigues, director of the middle school sports program, has also advocated for an expanded program.
In tough budget times, those types of extracurriculars are often the first thing to go, and for good reason, said Mitchell.
"We don't want to be laying off school teachers, so it's the lesser of two evils," said Mitchell at the November School Committee meeting.
However, after-school activities support the academic work happening in classrooms, and the district needs to find sustainable ways to fund sports, arts and music programs for its middle school students, according to Mitchell.
An expansion of the current programming will need to be supported with a mix of private and public funding, said Mitchell.
The existing teams, both basketball and soccer, are supported by SouthCoast Connected, an organized founded by New Bedford's Gerry Kavanaugh, a former chief of staff to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
Mitchell said district officials had been working closely with Kavanaugh to determine the role his organization could play in an expanded program, but were also reaching out to other individuals and groups for financial and advisory support.
The district should also play a role in supporting the programs financially, said Mitchell.
The next step is for the School Committee's facilities subcommittee to review the idea, according to Mitchell, who said he hoped some expansion of the program could happen by the spring season.
"It's important because the middle school is where we have ... the beginnings of our academic and our attendance problems," said School Committee member Dr. Lawrence Finnerty, a supporter of middle school athletics.
"I think that kids want to come to school when there's something beyond academics."

Cheater Cloth
This quilt was so much fun to quilt! I just did random straightish/wobblyish lines vertically and horizontally, sewing at break-neck speed with wreckless abandon. And my machine goes pretty fast!
I even tried machine binding the edges. It worked okay, but the corners didn't catch all that well, so I had to finish it off with some hand stitching in a few spots. My sister, Amelia, just showed me a great technique to ensure perfect machine binding. I think she'll be posting a tutorial soon :)
We've already used it, and look it has sand all over it...
And fish and chips! I wasn't even a little bit precious about it :)
I finished this quilt before Grace was born but am only just getting around to posting about it now.
I think I'm going to take a little blogging break. Take your pick from the following reasons - my camera's battery is dead and I can't find the charger, Dane popped my camera's SD card into the back of the computer's CD reader, Sarah's about to start school and I want to spend some time with her, Grace is not sleeping well and, quite frankly, I'm exhausted. Once my big girl starts school in a couple of weeks I'll be back to show you what I've been working on. In the mean time, happy quilting!
