Pearce, Marcus et al. Complete Cast for EMMA at The Old Globe
Executive Producer Lou Spisto today announced the complete cast and creative team for Jane Austen's Emma - A Musical Romantic Comedy. The musical, with book, music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Paul Gordon and direction by Tony Award nominee Jeff Calhoun, will run in the Old Globe Theatre Jan. 15 - Feb. 27. Preview performances run Jan. 15 - Jan. 22. Opening night is Jan. 23 at 7:00 p.m.Emma, a beautiful and clever young woman who prides herself on her matchmaking ability, is preoccupied with romance yet is clueless to her own feelings of love. When she takes on a young friend as her latest project, her well-intentioned efforts misfire, leading to a whirlwind of complications - and ultimately, true love. Paul Gordon brings Jane Austen's masterpiece to musical life with songs that are "cleverly woven throughout" and "enhance the story in wonderful ways" (Variety).As previously announced, Patti Murin will star in the title role as Emma Woodhouse with Adam Monley as Mr. Knightley and Will Reynolds as Frank Churchill. Newly announced are Adam Daveline (Robert Martin), Suzanne Grodner (Miss Bates), Kelly Hutchinson (Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Elton), Brian Herndon (Mr. Elton), Jerry Lanning (Mr. Woodhouse), Dani Marcus (Harriet Smith), Amanda Naughton (Mrs. Weston), Don Noble (Mr. Weston) and Allison Spratt Pearce (Jane Fairfax). The creative team features Tobin Ost (Scenic Design), Denitsa D. Bliznakova (Costume Design), Michael Gilliam (Lighting Design), John H. Shivers and David Patridge (Sound Design), Brad Haak (Music Supervisor), Laura Bergquist (Music Director) and Thomas J. Gates (Stage Manager).Jane Austen's Emma premiered at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto in September 2007. Gordon's musical has since had successful regional productions at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. In 2001, Gordon was nominated for a Tony Award for composing the music and lyrics to the Broadway musical Jane Eyre directed by John Caird and Scott Schwartz. Daddy Long Legs, also written with John Caird, had its world premiere at Rubicon Theatre Company in the fall of 2009 and has gone on to play TheatreWorks, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, The Broad Stage in Los Angeles and will receive productions at Northlight Theatre, La Mirada Theatre and Laguna Playhouse. His other works include Lucky Break, written with Jay Gruska and Seth Friedman, based on the 1976 film The Front, Death: The Musical and Analogue and Vinyl. Gordon is currently working on Little Miss Scrooge, a contemporary retelling of the Dickens classic. He has written several number-one pop songs and is the recipient of nine ASCAP Awards. Jeff Calhoun (Director/Choreographer) is delighted to return to The Old Globe where he co-directed Himself and Nora with Joe Hardy. Calhoun directed the Broadway-bound production of Bonnie & Clyde at the Asolo Repertory Theatre following an award-winning run at La Jolla Playhouse (Craig Noel Awards for Outstanding New Musical and Outstanding Director of a Musical). He directed and choreographed the First National Tour of the stage musical adaptation of the hit Dolly Parton Film 9 to 5. Calhoun also directed the world premiere productions, domestic and international tours of Disney's High School Musical: On Stage and Disney's High School Musical 2: On Stage. He directed and choreographed the Deaf West Theatre production of Pippin at the Mark Taper Forum. Calhoun directed and choreographed the award-winning Deaf West Theatre production of Big River (Tony and Drama Desk nominations, Best Revival; Drama Desk nomination for Best Director of a Musical; Ovation and L.A. Drama Critics Circle Awards for Direction and Choreography). Calhoun was a producer as well as director/choreographer for the Broadway production of Brooklyn the Musical and the director/choreographer of the 1994 Broadway revival of Grease! (Tony nomination, Best Choreography). He co-choreographed the Broadway revival of Annie Get Your Gun (Tony Award, Best Revival). Calhoun's Broadway directing debut was Tommy Tune Tonite!, and his collaboration with Tune led to the 1991 Tony for Best Choreography for the Will Rogers Follies.

For example, if $H$ is a hyperplane, then $\mathbb{P}^n - H = \mathbb{A}^n$, which is a vector space.
If $n = m^2 - 1$, then we can regard $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}$ as the space of $m \times m$ matrices and take the hypersurface $H$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ corresponding to the singular matrices. The complement $\mathbb{P}^n - H$ is $\mathbf{PGL}_n$.
If we restrict ourselves to irreducible $H$, are there any more examples besides the two above?
If we allow reducible hypersurfaces, then we can get a few more. We can realize the multiplicative group $\mathbb{G}_m$ as $\mathbb{P}^1$ minus two points, and removing the union of two distinct lines from $\mathbb{P}^2$ will give us $\mathbb{G}_m \times \mathbb{A}^1$. What can we say about the situation here?
The complement of a hypersurface is affine, so only linear algebraic groups will arise.
I haven't put much thought into the base field, so we can just start with $\mathbb{C}$.

Basic exception handling in PerlBasic try catch pattern in perl
eval { # try ...run the code here.... 1; } or do { # catch ...handle the error using $@... };
Because the eval block ends with a true statement, it will always return true if it succeeds and false otherwise.
$@ can be a simple string, reference or an object, and is "thrown" by die
Dangers of using $@The more common, but subtly flawed, idiom is to check $@ to see if the eval failed.
# FLAWED! eval { # try ...run the code here... }; if( $@ ) { # catch ...handle the error using $@... }
This method is essentially non-atomic and has proven finicky. The problem lies with using $@. As it is global and there are many things which can reset it, either intentionally or otherwise, between the eval block failing and when it is checked.

Try::Tiny # simple and functinal
TryCatch # has more dependencies but is nicer than Try::Tiny

Best Practices for Exception Handling
- Re^2: Best Practices for Exception Handling by adrianh (Chancellor) on Jan 29, 2003 at 17:21 UTC
- Some reasons I like exceptions:
- Robustness. I can forget to check for an returned error value. I cannot forget to check for an exception.
- Brevity. I prefer:
$o->foo or return(ERROR_FOO); $o->bar or return(ERROR_BAR); $o->fribble or return(ERROR_FRIBBLE); $o->ni or return(ERROR_NI);
- Clarity. With exception based code the "normal" flow of control is more explicit because it is not obscured by error handling code. I think that the first of the two code examples above shows the intent of the code more directly than the second does.
- Separation of concerns. The error condition and the error handler are different ideas.
- You may want an error to be handled in different ways depending on the context.
- You may also not know how the error should be handled at the point it occurs.
- You may not know how the error should be handled at the time you write the code.
- propogate error conditions to where the decision on how they should be handled can be made.
- propogating error handlers down to where the errors may occur
- No confusion between return values and error conditions.
Re: Re: Best Practices for Exception Handling
by IlyaM (Parson) on Jan 30, 2003 at 09:54 UTC The fact is that when you write code in modular fashion one part of your system cannot always know how to handle errors itself. In such cases the only thing you can do is pass error somewhere else and there are in general two ways to do it: exceptions and return codes. And exceptions is just a more robust way to do it.
Example: say you are implementing business logic for your application which has multiple frontends (CLI, web and GUI). This part of your application encounters an error (let say a database connection error). What should it do? Print HTML page with error? Produce plain text formated error message for CLI? Write something in the log? No, it is not responsiblity of this part of your system to do these things, it is responsiblity of the frontend part to handle this error. So you just raise an exception and let the frontend to handle it.
- Re: Re: Best Practices for Exception Handling by IlyaM (Parson) on Feb 03, 2003 at 22:26 UTC
Do you agree that the logic responsible for asking users for a better input belongs to the user interface part and it is not a part of the business logic? I.e. business logic layer have to callback user interface part when it tries to do the error recovery. So you still have to pass control to the callee to do the error recovery that business logic part cannot do on its own as if you were using exception or return codes style of error handling. To me it looks that the error recovery mechanism is essantially the same in both cases. The only difference is added complexity of callback approach. Let's plot a couple of diagrams. Traditional approach (exceptions or return codes) for case when the business logic part bails with error:
If at the last point the user interface part can handle the error it can either ask the business logic part to redo the action or if this error is unrecoverable print diagnostic error or do something else. Now callback approach:UserInterface BusinessLogic | user input | |------------------------------>| | do some action | |<----------failure-------------| | handle the error | |
This diagram clearly show two problems:UserInterface BusinessLogic UserInte +rface | user input | |------------------------------>| | do some action | |----------failure------------->| | handle th +e error | |
- This design adds additional requirement on reentrability for at least the user interface and probably for other parts of the system if the error recovery callback calls them.
- If error recovery callback can handle the error then program flow is clear. It returns the control to the business logic part which in its turn returns the control to the callee, i.e. back to the user interface part. But what about another case when it cannot handle the error? You still have to return the control back using either exceptions or return codes! Why then bother with callbacks at all?
- Re: Re^2: Best Practices for Exception Handling by demerphq (Chancellor) on Jan 29, 2003 at 17:06 UTC
Personally I think the following little trick/modification makes for cleaner code... (and I think that raise_error makes more sense if it contains the error message returned...)
If you can contrive to make raise_error() return undef you can make it even cleanersub bar { my( $self, @args )= @_; eval { $self->method( @args ); 1} or $self->raise_error( $@, @_ ) and return undef; }
sub bar { my( $self, @args )= @_; eval { $self->method( @args ); 1} or return $self->raise_error( $@, @_ );}

Seventeen. Seventeen, as a number, doesn't normally mean much when compared to other numbers, does it? But, seventeen was a very significant number May 2 as 17 Haywood Community College (HCC) GED graduates were awarded refurbished computers from the PCs for GED program at HCC. They were clearly thrilled to briefly interrupt their post-ceremony celebrations to load their computers into their vehicles. Best of all, though, is that these worthy graduates have further dedicated themselves to continuing their education by enrolling in a wide variety of programs offered by HCC and other schools.
Thank you to this year's PCs for GED program supporters and contributors, who provided hardware, time, talent and even monetary donations to the program through the HCC Foundation: You enabled us to surpass last year's total number of refurbished computers by 70 percent. New this year, and because of the generosity of the HCC Foundation, all 17 computers are running Windows 7, a significant software feature that will help with classroom and online coursework.
We are also truly thankful to the many generous individuals and area corporations, including Crown Capital Associates Inc.; Asheville Eye Associates; Pigeon Multicultural Development Center; and Southpaws Pet Sitters, who have contributed either through our standard drop-off point at the HCC Learning Resource Center, at special on-campus events like Jammin' at the Mill Pond or by special arrangement. It is time to continue our work toward sustaining these PCs for GED awards for years to come. With continued support from the greater Haywood County area we look forward to providing future GED graduates with one of the best tools to aid them as they further their education and become better prepared for careers in the Western North Carolina area.

You can discuss this suggestion at talk:space.
Space, also known as outer space or galactic space, also known as spacetime or more fully as the spacetime continuum, is the plane of existence home to the known universe.
When a starship reaches the speed of warp 10, it goes into subspace and exists at every point in space at once, in superposition. (VOY: "Threshold") Exceeding warp 10 would allow a starship to travel backwards in time. (TNG: "Time Squared")
The Krenim weapon ship, used by Annorax, worked by pushing the target outside the spacetime continuum, thus deleting it from history. (VOY: "Year of Hell")
Disruption to the spacetime continuum can have serious repercussions. In 2368, for example, the USS Enterprise-D unknowingly entered a rupture in the spacetime continuum, which threw the ship and its crew into a temporal causality loop, experiencing the same time frame over and over. (TNG: "Cause and Effect")
Similar phenomena, such as spatial ruptures or subspace rifts, have been encountered by numerous starships throughout the galaxy.
The term deep space describes areas of space that are farther than one's own star system. This term is used in Starfleet nomenclature to describe the location of certain types of starbases, outposts and space stations. For example, Deep Space Station K-7 or Deep Space 9 are named based on their deep space locales. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
In 2151, Captain Jonathan Archer told Sub-commander T'Pol about "The Great Experiment" which went along with the question, "Could Humans colonize deep space." (ENT: "Terra Nova")
In 2266, on the stand in a court martial proceeding, Dr. Leonard McCoy was cited on record as an expert in psychology, especially space psychology, which was defined as "patterns which develop in the close quarters of a ship during long voyages in deep space." (TOS: "Court Martial")
In 2268, Spock described the damage to the space probes Nomad and Tan-Ru as occurring in deep space. Later, Captain Kirk ordered the errant amalgam of the two probes beamed to a set of coordinates that were specified as being in deep space. (TOS: "The Changeling") Kirk also specified deep space as a target when Redjac, inhabiting the body of Hengist, was transported off the Enterprise. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
When Lieutenant Mira Romaine came aboard USS Enterprise, Dr. McCoy and Montgomery Scott had a discussion about how their experience told them that someone's first trip into deep space can affect them. (TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")
The USS Voyager was the first Federation ship which tested a class nine warp drive in deep space. (VOY: "Relativity")
After the first contact with the Voyager in 2374, Starfleet redirected two deep space vessels toward Voyager's position. (VOY: "Hope and Fear")
Deep space stations Edit
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
In the final draft and revised final draft of the script for TOS: "The Enemy Within", space was referred to as "vast... relentless... heaven for some... hell for others...."
A few Star Trek-related people have been to "outer space," briefly leaving Earth's atmosphere. Astronaut Mae Jemison has flown on a space shuttle orbiter, while Terry Virts flew the shuttle itself in 2010. E. Michael Fincke has served aboard the International Space Station. Stephen Hawking participated in a zero-gravity flight. Gene Roddenberry and James Doohan have both had their ashes flown to outer space. A tiny model of the USS Enterprise has also flown aboard a space shuttle.

Reynoldsburg, Ohio, December 27, 2012, 1:50 PM EST—The American Jersey Cattle Association today announced that for the first time in history, it has recorded 100,000 animals in a single year.
The previous record for Jersey registrations—96,174 set in 2011—was broken early in the day on December 26, attesting to rapid expansion of the Jersey population across the United States and of producers recognizing the value of identified and performance tested Jersey cattle.
"This is a milestone for not only the association and its members, but also for the Jersey breed worldwide," said Neal Smith, Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer.
"The smaller, more efficient Jersey cow is the solution to the challenges of profitability and sustainability confronting dairy herd owners, no matter how small or large their operations are," he said. "Jerseys produce the most valuable components of milk—proteins and fat—with less feed, using less energy, water and land, and with a smaller total carbon footprint.
"And through November of this year," the Jersey CEO continued, "Jersey milk was valued from $1.58 to $3.47 more per hundredweight than the statistical blend price of Federal Order and California markets tracked by National All-Jersey Inc."
Smith added that the association expects to report all-time records in other activity areas for calendar 2012.
The American Jersey Cattle Association, organized in 1868, is the oldest dairy cattle recording organization in the United States of America. The AJCA compiles and maintains animal identification and performance data on Jersey cattle and provides services that support genetic improvement and greater profitability through increasing the value of and demand for Registered Jersey™ cattle and genetics, and Jersey milk and milk products. For more information on the association's complete line of services for dairy business owners, visit the website at USJersey.com or stay connected on Facebook and Twitter.

Look up the phrase unholy alliance and one example would surely be California wine grape growers and wineries. It is one of the most curious and dysfunctional commodity groups in the state.
Don't get me wrong. The growth California wine sales over the past decade has been nothing short of astounding. I am a wine drinker. I enjoy all California wine. I am often asked which wines I drink, I reply, "I will drink no wine until they get in into the bottle or bag-in-a box."
There are about 1,500 wineries in California. In reality only three — Gallo, The Wine Group and Constellation — control the industry which means they set prices paid to growers. It is supposed to be supply and demand controlling price, but the Big 3 control wine grape prices by their buying power and sometimes puzzling grape quality standards.
The biggest wine grape/winery event of the year is the Unified Wine and Grape Symposium each January in Sacramento, Calif. It is billed as the event of the year when growers and vintners comes together, lock arms in unity, drink wine and toast the alliance of growers and vintners.
At Unified, vintners herald the grape, saying good wines only come from good grapes. Vintners say without good grape growers there would be no good California wine. What is not talked about is price for the next harvest of good grapes.
It is curious to witness the manifestations of this unholy alliance of growers and vintners. When Allied Grape Grower president Nat DiBuduo walked to the podium to give his presentation on grape supplies, he patted the shoulder of session chairman Tom Smith of Gallo, president of the American Society for Enology and Viticulture and jokingly said growers were at Unified to get Gallo's '05 wine grape prices. DiBuduo smiled. Smith did not.
There always seems to be an issue between vintners and growers. Now there are two; hang time and the percentage of vintage dated wine in bottles. Vintners are asking growers to leave grapes hanging on the vine past when they would normally harvest them, presumably to improve quality. The quality issue of added hang time is subject to ongoing debate and research. What is not up for debate is the fact hang time reduces tonnage and the final price to growers.
Added hang time increases sugar and therefore alcohol content of the crushed product. In most cases that alcohol content must be reduced before the wine is bottled. An animated cartoon at the end of DiBuduo's talk showing a winemaker filling a wine barrel from a garden hose spoke volumes about how growers believe vintners reduce alcohol content. Water is a lot cheaper than wine grapes.
Most of the world uses 85 percent as the standard for vintage dating wine. The U.S. standard is 95 percent. The powerful Wine Institute wants to change that to 85 percent, presumably to improve wine and get wine on the market earlier. Growers see this move as an attempt to manipulate inventories and prices paid to growers.
California wine grape growers and vintners have made great strides forward in spite of their unholy alliance. However, you can only wonder where the industry would be if there had been an alliance like there are in may other California commodities like almonds, citrus, walnuts and table grapes. Exports are pouring into the U.S. wine market and ripping away big chunks of the California wine market. It's there for the taking from a dysfunctional California wine industry.

Growthprevious next
Growth means we are constantly transforming. Even though the change may be almost imperceptible, our mental state, skills, and ways of acting in the world are becoming more and more aligned with our goals.
When we value growth, we are open and curious, and we appreciate constructive feedback even if it is awkward or painful to us. We recognize our imperfections, but work to forgive them and to move on. We seek to understand ourselves and others because understanding gives us choices. As we move through our day to day activities, we ask ourselves how those activities serve our dreams, our mission, or our sense of what matters most.

More than half of the U.S. population has access to emerging medical care delivery systems known as "accountable care organizations" (ACOs), which reward doctors and hospitals for working together to improve quality and to control costs.
The latest analysis from consulting firm Oliver Wyman says more than half of the U.S. population lives in "localities served by ACOs," which link medical care providers together to improve quality. If the providers in the ACO achieve better outcomes, they divvy up money saved with the health plans.
"Over time, patients should notice that care gets more convenient, more proactive, and more effective," said Rick Weil, a partner in Oliver Wyman's Health & Life Sciences practice group. "For many people receiving care from one of these mixed-model ACOs, the shift to full participation in value-based care will be gradual and subtle as the contracts between the ACO and their insurance company migrate to ACO-style contracts."
Between 37 million and 43 million patients, or about 14 percent of the U.S. population, are now in "organizations with ACO arrangements," up from Oliver Wyman's previous estimate last fall of between 25 million and 31 million, or about 10 percent of the population.
ACOs last year began providing medical care services to seniors through contracts with the Medicare health insurance program for the elderly. In addition, most private health insurance companies, too, such as those operated by Aetna (AET), Cigna (CI), Humana (HUM) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH) as well as Blue Cross plans linking with ACOS to care for more patients.
A health plan contracts with doctors and hospitals through an ACO which pushes high quality, less expensive treatment rather than today's payment system that often leads to excessive treatment by paying for each procedure that isn't always necessarily better. The providers in an ACO are responsible for managing the care of the health plan enrollees and are financially rewarded if the enrollees, or patients, stay out of the more expensive hospital.
Though it's unclear exactly how many ACOs contracting with private health plans, the federal government has approved nearly 260 ACOs in the "Medicare Shared Savings Program," an initiative under the Affordable Care Act. And Oliver Wyman consultants say their figures in their analyst are based on the latest ACO figures from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"With the latest additions, more than half of the population -- 52 percent -- lives in primary care service Areas served by ACOs, up from 45 percent this past August," said Niyum Gandhi, an associate partner at Oliver Wyman. "The competition between ACO-based healthcare providers and traditional fee-for-service providers should give reform a good push forward."

Noted iPhone Jailbreak developer Grant Paul, better known as chpwn, has started the ICS Papercuts blog to share his thoughts on user interface and user experience inconsistencies in Google's latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich.
Android Central's Jerry Hildenbrand has responded, agreeing with some of Paul's complaints and calling him out on others, and Paul has now responded to Hildenbrand's response as well. It's a great discussion and an important one and hopefully we'll see more like it across sites and platforms. UI and UX are iterative processes and criticism is the fuel that feeds iteration.
Consistency is something I've harped on as well, both here on TiPb and on the Iterate podcast.
While iOS has more than it's fair share of UI eccentricities -- stitched leather and felt come immediately to mind -- it has by and large provided a more consistent experience than Android to date. The same type of control is typically in the same approximate place from one Apple app to another, and many -- though certainly not all -- iOS designers take pains and pride in following the same conventions. Like chopping wood, or reading repetitive words, it causes the chrome to disappear and interactions to become near frictionless.
Google has stepped up their design game across the board over the last year, but it remains challenged by legacy apps and interface elements, and a culture that traditionally places engineering ahead of design.
2012 represents a new opportunity for both platforms, however, with iOS 6 and Android Jellybean (Jujube? Jaffa cake? Jawbreaker?) on the horizon. Let's see what they can do.
Meanwhile check out the discussion via the links below.

Home > Home & Garden > Lawn Care > MolEvict, Lawn Mole Castor Oil, 1 gallon
MolEvict, Lawn Mole Castor Oil, 1 gallon
Item #: 750M
Size: 128 fl. oz.
Single Price: $51.95
There are many, many different types of castor oil. There is a type of castor oil for soaps, another for sealants, another you may have taken internally, another for pharmaceuticals, skin care, just to name a few. These types of Castor Oil will not work. We formulate a particular type of castor oil that is specifically repulsive to lawn moles. Something in our oil's scent, texture and composition makes these unwelcome critters want to vacate your premises as fast as they can, and that's good news for you. Added bonus: Our customers report that our castor oil is also effective in chasing voles, and gophers. They are trying our castor oil on armadillos as well! And it's natural and safe for your lawn, garden and pets!
Moles appetites can be voracious and they will often eat more than their weight in food every day. When searching for food, moles are very active tunnelers, often moving at a rate of 12-15 feet per hour. These burrows can damage lawns and gardens. While moles seldom feed on plant materials, mice may follow mole burrows, damaging bulbs and plant roots.
Our Special Formulation of Baar Castor Oil, MolEvict®, will drive pests away and is safe for the environment. 100% natural, it will not harm your pets or gardens. For best results apply every few weeks. A growing number of home owners are finding castor oil an effective way to get rid of moles, voles, gophers, and more.
How Much Should I Use?
How much to use can vary. Do you have clay soil or sandy soil? Everyone's property is different. The application process can be an art. But here's what we suggest to start. You can vary the amount and number of times applied depending on your soil. When using a garden hose and sprayer, the Gallon size treats up to 20,000 square feet. One Quart treats up to 5,000 sq. feet. Best to buy a sufficient supply for re-application. The formula should be applied 2 times per month then apply as needed for maintenance. New 5 Gallon size available to treat up to 100,000 square feet!
Customers Experiences:
"I've used MolEvict from your company and it worked. I haven't had it for a while now and the moles are taking over!" - C.S., Chattaroy, WA
"Thanks! MolEvict really does seem to deter voles, and has not harmed any of my plants." - S.T., Black Mountains, NC
"I am repurchasing MolEvict, Castor Oil for Lawn Moles. MolEvict is more effective than the bags of mole product offered by garden supply companies." - S.W., Lubbock, TX
"This is my second order of the Baar Castor Oil for Lawn Moles. Although I am using it for Vole control, I wanted to let you know I followed directions and sprayed twice (with a hose attachment sprayer). After the first time their activity was much reduced, and since the 2nd application, I see no evidence [of the Voles]. I have been chasing the critters for 10 years, using everything under the sun, with no success, but the Baar Castor Oil for Lawn Moles has chased them away. I want a back-up bottle to be ready for spring. Thanks." – A.M., Charlotte, NC
"I have been fighting moles and voles for years in my garden. The tunnels have allowed voles to eat a lot of young corn plants and seed. I started by spraying the aisles. That was enough for the moles. Now I just do a maintenance spraying before it rains and the moles have been very slow to return. Wish I had tried this years ago. Probably would have reduced the number of gray hairs I have." - S.C., Abbeville, SC
"After much research, we decided to buy Castor Oil Lawn Care to treat our mole and vole infestation. We're now three days into treatment and are AMAZED at how well this product works. We can literally see trails opening up as the moles/voles move out of our yard. Can't say enough good things about this, as the voles were destroying our grass and bushes- hopefully we caught them in time before they ate our tree roots too! Thanks to Baar for making such an effective and pet friendly product - and thanks to previous reviewers who helped persuade us to try it. The moles and voles aren't too happy about our purchase- but we're delighted! 5.0 out of 5 stars" - C.G., Canton, Ohio
"...It is not the sort of product that can be applied once and expect it to last throughout a summer season. I have had a severe mole, vole, and ground squirrel problem for the past 20+ years and have tried all sorts of solutions, i.e., poison worms and grubs, all sorts of traps, electronic vibrators and poison pellets. Some of the in-ground traps have been moderately successful, but the problem still continued year after year. This year I applied castor oil treatments on a monthly basis. At first the moles went crazy and torn up my property much more than they normally do, but after a couple of weeks they left the area. Since I have started the monthly treatments they have not returned except for one who I caught with an in-tunnel trap. My property is the best it has been in the past 20 years with the monthly treatments. Do not expect instant results. It takes a little time to train the moles to avoid your property... 5.0 out of 5 stars." - S.F., Midwest
"We are surrounded by woods on 3 sides. Moles and voles everywhere! We systematically applied [Baar' Castor Oil Lawn Care] around our yard, one area at a time. Areas treated have been mole free since. Now, just treat yard perimeter to keep them from entering yard from the woods. Now they are all at the neighbors' yards and gardens. :-) Have to be vigilant and re-apply when lots of heavy rains or after 6 to 8 weeks, but certainly cheaper than the castor oil products available at home improvement and hardware stores. 5.0 out of 5 stars." - Amazon Review
"I have been fighting these critters for two years. I have used two types of traps all to no avail. I put this out with a hose end sprayer and the moles are gone. It is so simple and you might think that spraying some of this on your lawn is not going to do anything, but it works. 5.0 out of 5 stars." - Pep, Amazon Review
"I bought three gallons of your (Baar Lawn Mole Care, product #750M) castor oil last fall but didn't apply it until this past Spring. Having read an article last winter that discounted the effectiveness of castor oil as a resource in the war against moles, I was a little skeptical that it would yield any real results. Well, it worked very well! Within a couple days the moles were out of the lawn and keeping my cat busier than ever. There were no negative effects whatsoever. I mixed it in a tank sprayer and applied it using my lawn tractor. The detergent emulsified the oil and it applied very evenly. The results were evident within a couple days. Due to the amount of rain we've had this year I find I must re-apply. That's why I'm ordering the 5 gallon bucket. Thanks! Great stuff!" - M.P., Northfield, NH
"I followed your instructions about dish washing detergent mixed in with Castor oil. That worked well. But I heard about adding Red Cayenne Pepper to the mix. I did yesterday. About ten minutes after I sprayed, my cat went running to the area I had sprayed and grabbed a mole that had actually came out into the sunlight to get away from the mixture. Within an hour I witnessed a total of three moles surface. It was amazing. I guarantee they will think twice about returning, at least I hope they are smart enough. I used about 2 table spoons of pepper, just enough to turn it Pinkish Orange." - S.B., Hendersonville, NC
"I used the castor oil for moles a year ago and they are just now trying to come back. It does a great job of keeping them away." - S.S., Boyce, VA
"I am so glad this stuff (Baar Castor Oil Lawn Care) exists and it does work where nothing else will!! Thanks!" - S.S.

Following the resounding success of the inaugural Game Music Connect conference in 2013, Game Music Connect 2014 proudly returns to The Purcell Room at the Southbank Centre, London on September 24, 2014.

Desolation Peak Climber's Log
rtgomez90 - Jul 13, 2017 11:56 pm Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2017High mileage peak
Hiked up from E Bank TH with a friend. 45+ miles in four days.
distressbark - Aug 23, 2015 9:56 pm Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2015Hozomeen Approach
Took the trail from Ross Lake past the junction with the Hozomeen Lake trail. Spent the next 3+ hours bushwhacking through downfall and brush up to Point 5967. Followed a faint booth path towards Desolation, and gained the summit ridge through a break in the north face cliffs. Intense smoke from nearby wildfires greatly obscured our view. More or less retraced our steps on the way down. 13 hours round-trip. A very long day, 10 hours or so spent in the trees. A bit disorienting at times!
quorralux - Aug 9, 2015 1:43 pm Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2015Second Time's the Charm!
Tried to hike up to the fire lookout a couple of years ago from Hozomeen but couldn't quite swing the full distance. This year we canoed in and stayed at Cat Island. Took our time and did Desolation as a day hike. Fantastic views up there, I can see why this trail is so popular!
SummitQueen - Sep 11, 2010 4:52 am Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2010Did it twice this summer
Did it twice this summer with my students from North Cascades Wild. Wonderful - a great mix between elevation gain, views all around, and lots to learn from the fire lookout, Daniel, up there!
gimpilator - Jun 13, 2010 11:07 pm Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010A Great Opener For Summer
The boat approach made this a unique hike. This peak might have the most scenic trail head I have ever seen. Also, I enjoyed the company of the group so much that I think it was my favorite part of the trip.
Dundeel - Jun 13, 2010 10:35 pm Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010Far from Desolate
Excellent views, weather, companions. WA P3k 17/52
Redwic - Jun 13, 2010 10:08 pm Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010Unbelievably Awesome Trip!
As far as one-day trips go, I could not have envisioned or asked for anything much better than our experience...
The first awesome warm weather day of Spring, team-operated boat rides, trail walking, snowy ridge, a fire lookout, the most fantastic far-ranging views I have ever seen from one location in the North Cascades, and absolutely wonderful hiking/boating partners to share the experience with. One of the best experiences I have ever had in the Washington Cascades. Period.
Two of us then summited Mount Baring the following day, making the weekend have approximately 10,000' total elevation gain. Woohoo!
ericnoel - Jun 13, 2010 2:45 pm Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010Desolation
Best hike of the year, so far...
jtellis - Dec 31, 2009 12:15 pm Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2003complete solitude
This is one of my all-time favorite hikes. I went up alone, and as it was still fairly early in summer, the lookout cabin was locked up. There was no one out hiking, no boats on Ross Lake, hardly anyone even at the floating cabins. With the exception of the flies, it was total solitude and silence at the peak...a really great memory.
ericwillhite - Sep 3, 2009 4:24 am Date Climbed: Jul 1, 1993Twice
Did the first time as a boy scout on a canoe trip on Ross Lake. Did the second time as a troop leader with my troop during a canoe outing. Maps and pics at http://www.willhiteweb.com/washington_climbing/desolation_peak/ross_lake_034.htm
setrent - Dec 23, 2005 12:49 amRoute Climbed: Trail Date Climbed: 20 September, 2004
Kayaked in from the north end of the lake. The lookout was already locked up, but we were rewarded with excellent views of the Hozomeen Peaks.
cp0915 - Feb 18, 2004 9:58 amRoute Climbed: Date Climbed: Aug 2001
A beautiful mountain with wonderful views...Hozomeen to the north, Ross Lake to the west, Jack Mountain to the south...
I accessed the mountain via water taxi ($110), thereby shaving off a considerable amount of hiking. Still, the hike gained 4800 feet in 4 miles lake to summit. Worth every ounce of effort.

From Afrikaans, translated as cunt. Cunt is an English term that refers to the human female genitals. It was replaced after the Norman Conquest, in jargon but not in the common tongue, by the Latin vagina. In London and other English towns in the Middle ages there were roads named Gropecunt Lane, where prostitutes plied their trade; these roads have long since been renamed.

originates from vietnamese slang- "Dou ma" means to "fuck your (respondent's) mum". However, the single word "dou", implicit of its infinitive form, "to dou"; means to "screw someone up", usually through physical means like bashing their face in or the application of an armbar or strangle. Its coinage is credited to an anonymous ABV and ABC known only (urban dic. rules) as "teabag" and FC.

CRESTVIEW � Designating Christmas parade participants� positions and providing a roster of entrants to the public are two ways the Main Street Crestview Association may curb patrons� disappointment with controversial entrants, members said Wednesday.
CRESTVIEW � Designating Christmas parade participants� positions and providing a roster of entrants to the public are two ways the Main Street Crestview Association may curb patrons� disappointment with controversial entrants, members said Wednesday.
The committee plans to speak with city attorney Jerry Miller and city council members before making formal decisions on the matter.
Members evaluated last weekend�s parade, which drew criticism from a number of News Bulletin readers offended by Save Me from the Fire ministry�s truck. Student minister James Forrester shouted disparaging remarks about homosexuals, said Santa Claus isn�t real and damned parade attendees to hell.
Following the parade, the News Bulletin�s website, crestviewbulletin.com, and its Facebook page received hundreds of comments expressing outrage from the incident. The Main Street Crestview Association�s City Hall-based office also has received comments from concerned residents.
"We didn't want people to think that we are just going to turn a blind eye to this," Main Street member Rae Schwartz said. "I came with some concerns and I want to help fix it."
Other members at Wednesday�s meeting included Main Street President Ellis Conner, Patti Gonzo, Viola Owens, Cal Zethmayr and Pat Hollarn.
The group discussed possible steps to prevent a similar situation from happening at future Christmas parades.
Zethmayr suggested changing the application�s wording.
"We should put in the application for next year that (Main Street Association) has the right to designate where any unit goes, period." Zethmayr said. "Accept it or don't be in the parade."
Zethmayr suggested making the roster of entrants, by order of procession, available to the public, so people could leave early if they disagreed with an organization�s message.
"You can't legally restrict anybody (from being in the parade), because you are going to put the city in a lawsuit," he said, referencing conclusions he arrived at from discussions with city council members. �It's the city's parade that we organize."
Whether such perceived legal implications actually exist remains to be seen.
"I haven't looked into this matter; therefore, I cannot comment on it," Miller said.
Save Me from the Fire applied for Christmas parade entry in Bay Minette, Ala., but North Baldwin Chamber of Commerce organizers denied the request based on an unpaid $10 float fee, according to Mobile-based TV station Fox 10. The South Alabama chamber reserves the right to deny any application based on unpaid fees or indications that an applicant wouldn�t align with the parade�s theme, Fox10tv.com reported.
Nevertheless, all Main Street Crestview members on Wednesday wanted to avoid potentially violating anyone�s First Amendment rights.
"I think that we can reasonably � determine the placement of those units at the end of the parade," Conner said.
However, Hollarn expressed caution.
"This situation had to be handled carefully; that's why we need to work with the city council," she said.
Hollarn said she was horrified when she had heard about the shouting incident.
"This is part of Crestview becoming bigger," she said. "This is probably only the beginning of certain things like this happening."
Still, each organization should receive the same courtesy, she said, adding, "Not one moment of hostility can be shown towards any group.�
Wednesday, Save Me from the Fire, a Washington-based ministry, responded to Crestview residents� furor with a statement on its website, savemefromthefire.org.
�Your controversy is with the Lord God, not with us,� Brian Gaines, a Pensacola student minister, said. �We faithfully spoke the truth according to His word in your fair town, knowing that it pleased God.�

Oh, to have the life of a cat. Where the only big question of the day is whether to lazily slumber on the couch or the footstool.
The only big question I am facing is whether to continue making 11 more blocks for this Cat & Mouse blanket -- or to just call it a day and finish this block for a pillow.
I got the pattern from this magazine:
....but it can also be found here.
My only misgiving about continuing this as a blanket is the heaviness when done. If a project weighs more than my refrigerator when finished (and that happens a lot!) I get all frustrated and shove the thing in the back of my closet. Soft & drapey has to be the end result -- or it will never get used.
Okay. This finished kitty is so adorable (yes, to my husband's horror -- I could easily become that Crazy Cat Lady....) and with the added mouse border that is included with this pattern...
....well, this might just become a blanket instead of the pillow.

George Herbert Walker III, who served as U.S. ambassador to Hungary from 2003 to 2006, will offer "An Ambassador's Assessment of Eastern Europe" at Lindenwood University at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 28, in the Anheuser-Busch Leadership Room of Lindenwood's Spellmann Campus Center. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Walker's economic policy lecture is co-sponsored by the Lindenwood Division of Management and the Institute for the Study of Economics and the Environment. He will talk about the ambassador's role in a country like Hungary, particularly where it applies to trade. Other topics may include: Hungary's development, compared to other European nations; the state of U.S. relations with Hungary; and a discussion of Hungarian culture.
Prior to serving as ambassador, Walker was president and chief executive officer of Stifel Financial and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated. He is currently Chairman Emeritus of those same two companies. Walker also served on the board of the Midwest Stock Exchange (now the Chicago Stock Exchange) and the Regional Firms Advisory Committee of the New York Stock Exchange. He has served on the board of directors for Webster University since 1974.
A resident of St. Louis, Walker has been active in local and national politics, serving as chairman of Downtown St. Louis and working with a number of other civic groups, including a budget and finance committee for St. Louis Mayor Freeman Bosley and a more recent manifestation of the committee, devoted to the proposition of changing the structure of St. Louis municipal government. He worked on the election campaigns of presidents Reagan and Bush.
For more information on the lecture, contact Dr. Kenneth Chilton, professor of management and director of the Institute for Study of Economics and the Environment, at 636-949-4742.

Insufficient meat content, by-products, low quality grains and other controversial filler.
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product in meal form. There is a second meat meal ingredient (fish meal) 6th on the ingredient list, but this is a bit too far down to make an appreciable difference to the meat content of the food.
There are four grain products following the first meat, making this appear a grain heavy food. Brewers rice is a low quality grain and by-product.
Corn is a problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food. Corn appears a second time on the ingredient list as grits, 8th on the ingredient list.
Sorghum is a carbohydrate source low in digestibility. We consider it primarily filler. Barley is a decent quality grain.
The next ingredient is by-products. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. The AAFCO definition of chicken by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
Beet pulp is a filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.

Miles Davis was one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. He was at the forefront of various Jazz movements, including Be Bop, Cool, Modal and Fusion. He lived a life that was a complex mix of genius, superstar, pimp and street hustler. Duke Ellington nailed it when he described Davis as "the Picasso of Jazz".
The Miles Davis Story is an Emmy-winning documentary that gives a fairly good overview of the man and his incredible career and controversial life, mixing interviews together with some amazing footage (including rare concerts from the 1960s and 1970s). There is a good selection of interviews, but occasionally I wanted to hear more from Davis and his music and less from the contributors. This small quibble aside, The Miles Davis Story is compelling viewing.

Dr. Jeff Perry, superintendent of Hamblen County Schools, is asking for the community's vision for the school system and how the system can better serve the community.
Two community forums are planned for Feburary.
The first is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 5, in the Heritage Room, Board of Education's Central Office, 210 E. Morris Boulevard.
The second, with translators on hand for the Hispanic Community, will be held at 6 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 15. This gathering also will be at HCBOE Central Office.
All community members and HCBOE staff are invited. "We serve the community and we want to hear their thoughts and ideas about how we can improve," Dr. Perry said. "Let your voice be heard. Your ideas and ideas will help to strengthen our school system."
Dr. Perry said is the firm belief of the Hamblen County Board of Education and the Office of the Superintendent that the school system is the heart of the community. "This is a serious responsibility and we will be relentless in our efforts to help each child reach his or her potential," he said.

Dr. Perry already has begun a series of listening tours at each school, where "we are asking staff members how they believe the school system can be improved. Similar conversations are being conducted with building-level principals."
