SoHum Town Attempts Bold Makeover
Gargleville Merchants to Hold Auditions for Classier Townsfolk
In an effort to spruce up the image of the small rural Northern California town, the Gargleville Chamber of Commerce has decided to hire a completely new set of townspeople and shoppers.
"We were really sick of all of the skuzzy dirty hippies hanging around Gargleville." Lake Blamin of the Gargleville Chamber of Commerce said this morning in a press conference at the Gargleville Chamber today.
"They're missing teeth, have terrible complexions, smell bad and they're disheveled. That's not the image that we want to project. We'd really like to cash in on what's happening in Wine Country, and we'd like that upscale clientele to feel more at home here."
Blamin continued, "So, we've decided to hire people to pose as shoppers, park patrons and restaurant goers in Gargleville. Each day they will have to pass inspection before they report to work. They will have to be clean, dress fashionably and smell nice. They will spread out through the town, posing as urban professionals,
well-to-do retired people,
and college students.
The kind of people we'd all like to see shopping in our stores, eating at our restaurants and enjoying our parks.
This town employs very few professionals, has no college, and our old people look grizzled and haggard. We realized that Gargleville would never live up to our dreams unless we took drastic action."
Blamin explained, "So, now we will pay 200 actors to play the parts. We'll give them a clothing allowance, comp their meals, and provide a nice lounge with restrooms and showers. Because, you can't expect someone to spend all day in town without letting them use the restroom. Also, it's often very hot or very rainy in Gargleville, and we want them to look their best."
Won't that get expensive for a small rural town with a remote location, few employment opportunities and all the charm of a suburban strip mall?
Blamin responds, "Look, half of the residents of Gargleville subsist on Social Security, SSI or veteran's benefits. They don't bring in the big piles of cash that have made our registers ring for the past 25 years. We've grown accustomed to having large quantities of untraceable cash dumped in our laps by the marijuana industry thriving in the hills from Blocksburg to Whale Gulch.
Now, we take those piles of $100 bills for granted, but we've never liked the people we take them from, especially the people who bring the money into this area. These lowlife, dirt-wad street and mid-level pot dealers often hang around town for days or weeks before they work out a deal. And in general, an underground drug based economy attracts problems like addiction, exploitation and lawlessness. But that's not my problem."
Isn't Gargleville already pretty crowded?
Blamin explained, "From now on all traffic coming towards Gargleville on Bedwood Drive will feed directly onto 101 North. That way, all the traffic from Bedway and points West, and Boulder Point and points East get funneled North to Eureka. Chamber of Commerce Police Officers stationed on 101 at Leggett will direct all Northbound: hippie buses, dusty pickup trucks, vans, old RVs and cars with bumper stickers to use Usal Road. Officers at Salmon Creek will direct the same miscreants through Honeydew. This way we can enjoy the benefits of a thriving underground industry without inviting it in through the front door."
How will Gargleville merchants continue to benefit from the underground industry if you divert all of their business to Eureka?
Blamin is optimistic, "For years Gargleville merchants have charged more money for less goods and services than anyone in the area. Considering that history, I don't think it will be difficult to make them hand us piles of cash, and in return, we'll give them nothing at all. That's the next logical step really. And this way, we won't even have to look at them."

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- David West ignited a strong shooting effort Friday that kept Indiana rolling with a 114-82 decision over Detroit.
It was the eighth victory in 10 games for the Pacers, who have won their last three by a combined 90 points. Indiana now has the second-best record in the Eastern Conference behind Miami.
West scored 18 points while both David Hill and Orlando Johnson had 15. The Pacers hit 56 percent of their field goal tries and went 10-of-14 from 3-point range.
Indiana opened a 34-17 lead after one period and never let the Pistons back in the game.
Will Bynum scored 17 points for the Pistons, who went a mere 3-of-19 from beyond the arc.

Memphis coach Mike Norvell has mentioned ahead of Saturday's home game against No. 10 Central Florida that the Tigers are facing a better team than the unbeaten Knights featured in last year's AAC championship game.
Central Florida won that game 62-55 in double overtime, preserving their perfect record. The Knights would finish 13-0 under former coach Scott Frost after defeating Auburn in the Peach Bowl.
Josh Heupel is coaching Central Florida now after Frost left for Nebraska and the Knights have continued their dominance, starting 5-0 to increase their winning streak to 18 games.
They are 2-0 in the American Athletic Conference, tied atop the East division with No. 25 Cincinnati and Temple. Memphis is 4-2 overall and in fifth place in the West with a 1-2 record.
"They're probably playing even faster than what they did last year," Norvell said of Central Florida during the AAC's weekly teleconference. "Their tempo is at warp speed. They're snapping the ball anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds after the previous play, which is extraordinary."
Central Florida is third in the nation in total offense with 574.4 yards per game, which is more than last year's average of 530.5. The Knights have scored 38 or more points in each game this season.
Junior quarterback McKenzie Milton is 13th nationally throwing for 300.2 yards a game while completing 102 of 171 passes for 1,501 yards with 15 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He has also rushed for 215 yards on 37 carries with five touchdowns.
"They're playing at a dominant stage regardless of who they played," Norvell said.
Milton, who has started 28 consecutive games, had an injury scare in last week's 48-20 win over SMU. He took a hit while trying to earn a first down, sandwiched by SMU defenders. He lay on the ground for a few minutes as trainers tended to him. He managed to walk off the field.
"We tell him to get down, but he doesn't like to do that too often," Heupel said. "We want to keep him as healthy as possible without eliminating or taking away a portion of his game. Certainly, glad he was healthy and able to play."
Memphis is equally efficient to last season, Heupel said, despite the Tigers featuring a new quarterback in Brady White. Heupel said during the teleconference that White is efficient and that he is impressed with running back Darrell Henderson's speed and vision.
White is completing almost 70 percent of his passes (69.2 percent), hitting 108 of 156 passes for 1,549 yards with 15 touchdowns and only one interception. His passing rating of 183.08 tops the AAC and is seventh nationally.
Henderson tops the AAC with 155.7 yards rushing a game, gaining 934 yards on 79 carries with 12 touchdowns. He leads the nation with his rushing yards and 11.8 yards per carry.
Heupel also mentioned Memphis is more physical than the teams Central Florida has faced this season.
"That's kind of the secret to their sauce," Heupel said during the AAC teleconference. "They got dynamic players and they're really physical and that's typically true of really good football teams."
Both teams are ranked in the nation's top 10 in total offense. Memphis is No. 6, averaging 547.2 yards a game.
Central Florida boasts a defense that is allowing only 17.4 points per game, but Memphis, which is allowing 24.5 points a game, has a higher ranked defense at No. 38 (348.7 yards allowed a game) compared to the Knights at No. 47 (356.4).
If the game comes down to the quarterback, Central Florida has the No. 3 pass-defense team in the AAC, limiting opponents to 174.6 yards a game through the air. The Knights' sophomore cornerback Richie Grant has three interceptions, which is tied for the league lead with Tulsa's Cooper Edmiston.
"They were a well-coached team this last year and they're a really well-coached team this year," Norvell said. "It's just a little bit different presentation."

The TPS6031X step-up, regulated charge pumps generate a 3-V ±4% or 3.3-V ±4% output voltage from a 0.9-V to 1.8-V input voltage (one alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH battery).
Only five small 1-uF ceramic capacitors are required to build a complete high-efficiency dc/dc charge pump converter. To achieve the high efficiency over a wide input voltage range, the charge pump automatically selects between a 3x or 4x conversion mode.
Output 1 (OUT1) can deliver a maximum of 40 mA, from a 1-V input, with output 2 (OUT2) not loaded. OUT2 can deliver a maximum of 20 mA, from a 1-V input, with OUT1 not loaded. Both outputs can be loaded at the same time, but the total output current of the first voltage doubler must not exceed 40 mA. For example, the load at OUT1 is 20 mA and the load at output 2 is 10 mA.
In snooze mode, the devices operate with a typical operating current of 2 uA, while the output voltage is maintained at 3.3 V ±10% or 3 V ±10%, respectively. This is lower than the self-discharge current of most batteries. Load current in snooze mode is limited to 2 mA. If the load current increases above 2 mA, the output voltage drops further and the devices automatically exits the snooze mode and operate in normal mode to regulate to the nominal output voltage with higher output currents. The device is set into the snooze mode by taking the SNOOZE\ pin low, and is set into normal operating mode by taking the SNOOZE\ pin high.
A power-good function supervises the output voltage of OUT2 and can be used for power up and power down sequencing. Power-good (PG) is offered as either open-drain or push-pull output.

Houttuyn family
Houttuyn was a Dutch Mennonite family, originally found at Hoorn, Dutch province of North Holland, of which some members were preachers in their native town and also at Amsterdam. Pieter Adriaensz Houttuyn (1683-1736) and Willem Houttuyn (1692-1756), a physician, were elders of the Frisian congregation of Hoorn (Willem serving 1721-1756), while Adriaan Houttuyn (ca. 1700-1777) was a preacher of the Waterlander congregation at Hoorn 1732-1777.
This Adriaan Houttuyn was an adherent of Collegiant principles, and of baptism by immersion. He published Eenige redenen om de in- of onderdompeling te verkiezen boven de besprenging (Hoorn, 1752). He preached a sermon, Redevoering over Handelingen XVI:30-34, at Rijnsburg on 2 June 1770, when he baptized by immersion (published Rotterdam, 1770).
When the Frisian and the Waterlander congregations of Hoorn had merged in 1747 Willem Houttuyn and Adriaan Houttuyn were its preachers, and also Jacob Houttuyn, a son of Pieter Adriaensz, born 1711 at Hoorn, died there 1789, serving in 1746-1789. A Frans Houttuyn of Hoorn (year of birth unknown), who may have belonged to this same family, settled in Amsterdam as a book printer and was a lay preacher of the Amsterdam Frisian ("Arke Noach") congregation 1750-1752, and after this congregation had merged with the Zonist congregation (1752) until his death in 1765. His son Martinus Houttuyn was a physician at Hoorn.
In Hoorn and Amsterdam a number of members of this family were deacons. The grandmother of J. G. de Hoop Scheffer, noted Mennonite minister, historian, and professor of the Seminary and the Amsterdam University, was Aagtje Houttuyn of Hoorn (1752-1818), a daughter of Preacher Jacob Houttuyn. Pieter Houttuyn of Hoorn was an ardent Patriot, who in 1787 together with P. Bel, another member of the congregation of Hoorn, fled from Hoorn to Brussels because of their anti-Orange principles. He was chorister (voorlezer en voorzanger) of the Hoorn congregation.

In a final spat with former Gov. Sarah Palin, the Alaska Legislature voted Monday to override her veto of $28.6 million in federal stimulus funds intended for energy efficiency projects.
Palin, who resigned July 26 with 17 months left in her term, had vetoed the money that the state can use for almost anything that will reduce energy costs, from retrofitting public buildings and homes to energy efficiency audits, lighting upgrades and public transit.
Palin cited "strings" that could bind the state to federal codes for constructing buildings. She also said it would increase the size of government. She reiterated those claims Sunday in a Facebook posting.
"As governor, I did my utmost to warn our legislators that accepting stimulus funds will further tie Alaska to the federal government and chip away at Alaska's right to chart its own course," she wrote. "Enforcing the federal building code requirements, which Governor Parnell and future governors will be forced to adopt in order to accept these energy funds, will eventually cost the state more than it receives. There are clear ropes attached."
Lawmakers barely met the three-fourths majority threshold needed for the override, voting 45-14 to accept the money for the state, which holds much of the nation's hydrocarbon wealth but also experiences its highest energy costs.
Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, said residents of rural communities were crying out for relief. He heard from some of them in a trip to Tanana, a Yukon River town of 250, where high energy costs were exacerbated this spring by flooding that damaged homes and businesses.
"We heard tearful pleas for help in that community," he said.
Some in rural Alaska pay 10 times the cost of electricity in Anchorage, Wielechowski said, adding that weatherization money also has helped his east Anchorage neighborhood.
"Ninety-two percent of Alaskans already live in communities where the international building code is required," he said, ticking off names of the state's major cities. The only requirement attached to taking the stimulus funds, he said, is spending the money responsibly.
Rep. Carl Gatto, R-Palmer, said the money would go directly to Alaskans, unlike federal stimulus or bailout money aimed at lending companies and other businesses. Every dollar saved on heating, he said, could be used for groceries, health care or gasoline.
Rep. Les Gara, D-Anchorage, said he heard a lot of philosophy about not wanting federal imposition of an energy code but no comments about their downside. He wondered why anyone would object to a requirement for double-pane windows or winter-grade insulation.
"They make the money back within three to four years," he said.
Other legislators, however, echoed Palin's warning of a federal government encroaching on states' rights.
"Where the federal government 'encourages' the state to do something, we are looking down the barrel of a budget shotgun, and that encouragement becomes a mandate," said Sen. Con Bundy, R-Anchorage.
Sen. Fred Dyson, R-Eagle River, said the entire stimulus package was ill-conceived. Legislators were given the choice of spending other people's money on good things, he said, while committing their grandchildren and great-grandchildren to trillions in debt.
Responding to Dyson, Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage, held up a dime and said it represented the cost to other Americans.
"That's what we're asking the people of the United States to contribute to our energy problems. I think it's a fair ask and they can afford it," he said.
Gov. Sean Parnell announced Monday he had sent a letter to the federal government saying the state will accept the federal stimulus money that Palin vetoed. Parnell said he wants to use the money to reduce energy costs for public facilities and to support ongoing programs.
Also Monday, Craig Campbell, former commissioner of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, was sworn in as Alaska's lieutenant governor after being approved by the Legislature.

I've enjoyed two days off. Unfortunately, it has been raining here in Galesburg for those two days...and it looks like it will continue to at least through Monday. Such days have a way of dampening your spirits and even depressing you. It's frustrating when things don't go as you would like them to. I had planned a couple days of working in the yard. Recently, I put up a new sign in our front yard. I operate a computer shop in my spare time and I wanted to landscape around the new sign in hopes of attracting more business. Oh well. For another day.
In a similar way, we face dark days in our country. It is almost cliche' but it is still very accurate to say we now live in "ObamaLand". Seems that no matter how low his numbers go and no matter how loud the opposition gets, he and our congress are devoted to destroying the country we love.
I've often privately compared Obama to the grassy knoll shooter. Only this time, the president is behind the fence and Uncle Sam is in the back of the Dallas limousine. Obama is here to deliver (to America) the coup de grâce.
And I see little to stop him, save the grace of God.
But as bad as I feel for what is going on government wise, I cannot but help feel even worse due to the infiltration of the gay agenda. I mean, as much as I loathe socialism, communism and Marxism...and love capitalism, the Scriptures do not dictate any particular type of government as Biblical save, of course, a Theocracy.
No, there are other things that bother me more. Things that the Scriptures speak of, to one degree or another, such as homosexuality and abortion.
Yes, homosexuality is still a sin. It is no less sinful than the things I was involved in before my conversion. 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 gives us the list:
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
...and such were some of us!
The answer is as it always has been. The Gospel. And I don't mean the "ask Jesus into your heart because He'll give you joy" pseudo gospel. I mean the Biblical Gospel which includes the message of the law (to convict of sin, and humble the proud) and grace (for those humbled by the law).
Political activism is not the answer unless you want whitewashed tombs. The Gospel is the only real answer to the issue of sin.

"Confucian Role Ethics: A Challenge to the Ideology of Individualism"
In the introduction of Chinese philosophy and culture into the Western academy, we have tended to theorize and conceptualize this antique tradition by appeal to familiar categories. Confucian role ethics is an attempt to articulate a sui generis moral philosophy that allows this tradition to have its own voice. This holistic philosophy is grounded in the primacy of relationality, and is a challenge to a foundational liberal individualism that has defined persons as discrete, autonomous, rational, free, and often self-interested agents. Confucian role ethics begins from a relationally constituted conception of person, takes family roles and relations as the entry point for developing moral competence, invokes moral imagination and the growth in relations that it can inspire as the substance of human morality, and entails a human-centered, a-theistic religiousness that stands in sharp contrast to the Abrahamic religions. 4th Annual - Zen Master Dōgen Is Not a Zen Master: Philosophy, Ritual Studies, and the Image of Zen in America.

"The Ethics of Public Officials: Strong, Bent, Broken?"
This paper explores the ethicality of public officials, elected and appointed, in the United States with particular interest in probing for reasons, motivations, and circumstances that have led some to stray from and others to stay on the ethical pathway. The reader should note that this paper works with material on corruption and ethics, two subjects seldom joined in the literature. Corruption can be defined as the (mis)use of one's public office for personal gain typically in the form of bribes, extortion, kickbacks, awards and favors to friends. Corrupt behavior is generally illegal behavior as set forth in laws and regulations. Ethics may be defined as values and principles that guide right and wrong behavior (Menzel 2012). Another way of saying this is that corruption and ethics, while defined differently, are two sides of a common coin—behavior.
Dr. Curtis Ventriss, Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources
"The Ethics of decision-making and Civic Engagement: Challenges and Prospects."
The paper addresses the issue of fostering civic stewardship that achieves the goals of social equity and participation in the delivery of public services, while, at the same time, attempting to reconcile these noble goals with the realities of hierarchy, specialization, and professionalism.

- Description
- As designers, we seek perfection and originality. The more we step back and look at our work, the more changes we tend to find necessary. Drastic modifications are inevitable. The same is true of Grayfel. Grayfel began as an exercise at insigne to explore the crowded space of neutral sans. While the world of sans serifs is admittedly crowded, I still managed to find something new and different. The final Grayfel consists of 42 full-featured OpenType fonts containing three widths: Regular, Condensed, and Extended. Every width consists of 14 fonts--seven weights with matching italics, making it a good companion for setting clear text and headlines for print and screen. OpenType features are also available. There's a total selection of figure choices, such as proportional and old style figures. Additionally, Greyfel includes sophisticated typographic attributes: ligatures, fractions, alternate characters, small caps, superscripts and subscripts. Its extended character set supports Central, Western and Eastern European languages. Optical compensations also mean the outcome of this family is a hybrid of humanistic proportions. It's a well-finished design with optimized kerning gives it a friendly look. If you like sans serifs within the tradition of Futura, Helvetica, Avant Garde and Avenir, then you'll love Greyfel, too. Grayfel works well in a variety of applications. Subtly neutral yet fun, it's suitable for headlines of all sizes as well as for text. Put it to the task for marketing, packaging, editorial work, branding and even on-screen projects. Try it out: it's not just fun and playful; it's Grayfel.

The comedian best known to U.S. audiences as the bumbling "Mr. Bean" had a scary mishap behind the wheel of his sports car while driving through Cambridgeshire, England.
Rowan Atkinson, who has also starred in hit films like "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Rat Race," reportedly lost control of his McLaren F1 sports car and spun off the road - striking a tree before catching fire.
The 56 year-old Atkinson walked away from the crash, and was treated for a minor injury to his shoulder.
U.S. & World
The McLaren F1 is one of the most expensive and highly-tuned "supercars" in the world, capable of a top speed of around 230 mph. Atkinson, who is a known racing enthusiast, purchased his F1 for roughly 650,000 GBP, or a little over $1 million.
Atkinson is expected to be discharged from the hospital today.

Customizing SMF > Tips and Tricks
Getting the Most Out of SMF - XML, RSS and RSS2 (and Atom and RDF) feeds
(1/109) > >>
One of the best features in SMF is its news feeds. However, many people aren't aware of how many options there are, or that this is even available. So, here's a list of available options and what they do...
First, make sure you've enabled the feeds:
Admin -> News and Newsletters -> Settings
Check the box next to "Enable XML/RSS News".
The "Maximum post length" value determines how many characters of a post are output in the feeds. The default value (255) is fine for now
Now, on to the fun stuff.
All of the XML content is accessed via the ".xml" action...
Other formats can be achieved by adding one of the following to the URL:
;type=atom - Atom
;type=rdf - RDF
;type=rss - RSS 0.91
;type=rss2 - RSS 2.0
The default feed is the 5 most recent posts:
There are several "sub-actions" available to this action, specifying exactly what to display:
Recent Posts (displays the most recent posts that you can see)
"Sub-action": recent
Default: Shows 5 most recent posts
Available options:
limit=x - display the "x" most recent posts (if number is less than 5, it will display 5. If number is larger than 255, it will display 255).
board=y - display only the recent posts from board "y"
boards=x,y,z - display only the recent posts from the specified boards
c=x or c=x,y,z - display only the recent posts from boards in the specified category/categories
Example: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;board=72;limit=10
News (displays the first post from the most recent topics that you can see)
"Sub-action": news
Available options:
limit=x - display only "x" items
board=y - display only news topics from board "y"
boards=x,y,z - display only news topics from the specified boards
c=x or c=x,y,z - display only news topics from boards in the specified category/categories
Example: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=.xml;sa=news;board=72;limit=10
Members (displays most recent members):
"Sub-action": members
Available options:
limit=x - display only the "x" most recent members
Example: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=.xml;sa=members;limit=10
Profile (displays the "profile summary" data in a nice XML feed for the specified user)
"Sub-action": profile
Required option:
u=x - display the profile info for user whose ID is "x"
Example: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=.xml;sa=profile;u=150
Now - you're probably wondering what you can do with this. Quite a bit actually.
You can also subscribe to these feeds through an XML reader, Firefox, Thunderbird or any other software that supports XML or RSS feeds (note - Outlook and Outlook Express do not support this...) - you will need to have either "type=rss" or "type=rss2" somewhere in the URL for it to work. If you would like to know how to set this up in Firefox or Thunderbird, let me know. Enjoy!
EDIT: Updated post to reflect options available in 1.1.
EDIT again: Fixed typo (";type=rss - RSS 2.0" -> ";type=rss2 - RSS 2.0" - thanks to Sarge for pointing that out)
thanks for that it really helped
and its so simple!
I have done what you say but i have tis erreor :
La page XML ne peut pas être affichée
Impossible d'afficher l'entrée XML en utilisant la feuille de style XSL. Corrigez l'erreur, puis cliquez sur le bouton Actualiser ou réessayez ultérieurement.
I also ad this :
// If RSS/XML news is enabled, indicate that an RSS feed is available
if (!empty($modSettings['xmlnews_enable']))
echo '
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="', $scripturl, '?type=rss;action=.xml;limit=20" />';
Référence à l'entité non définie 'agrave'. Erreur de traitement de la ressource http://www.forum-asie.com/smf/index.php?act...
<time>29 Janvier 2005 à 16:37:11</time>
Instead of using "à" in your time format, use the entity code - I don't remember what it is, off hand, though.
Instead of resent posts is there a way to get the same results as "Show unread posts since last visit.". I can't just set action =unread which was my first thought. sa=unread gives me something different, seems that posts are grouped by thread. I'm not sure what sa is even though.
anyway help would be cool thanks.

I know this has been asked before but not lately. Hoping someone has new/updated info.
I have a 1971 Vega Kammback and I need replacement rubber for all the windows including the windshield. Or any alternatives if anyone has found rubber that isn't original that works. Or any details on the process to use newer rubber without the trim.

Much like fellow Englishman-in-Turkey Adam Simpson (aka the oxymoronic @yearinthelifeof), I have many blog posts I want to write at the moment but for one reason or another are still the electronic equivalent of scribbled notes. And again much like dear Adam, I'm pushing those awaiting posts even further down my list of things to do by taking up his latest challenge (he gets a bit tetchy if there's a muted response to his challenges so I thought I should…. ;-) )
Image by c.e.b.
The premise is simple - shamelessly pat yourself on the back by selecting 11 of your favourite pieces of self-publishing from the year so far but hide the fact by claiming your are merely joining in with the fun of another blog challenge. As Adam says: "Everyone's a winner" - that's no lie!
And so, in no particular order, I picked:
One of my favourite posts of the year because, for me, it represented a kind of coming together of several thoughts and ideas that were floating around in my head and helped crystallise my thinking and my stance in regards to dogme and the role of pre-prepared materials in the young learner classroom. It's also formed the basis of a recent series of workshop proposals so if you see me at a conference in 2012, I'll most likely be expanding on some of the ideas here.
A discussion on the downside of working in a heavily exam-driven system (I say 'discussion' even though this post got no comments whatsoever). Nothing much has changed since, nor is likely to. Nevertheless, it needed to be said.
I waited several weeks to write this post just because it took several weeks for the cycle of lessons to come to an end. One simple drawing activity formed the basis of a really productive and creative series of lessons on the part of my students and there will be elements of this in future workshops as well.
"Dogme? Young Learners?" you may cry. "That'll never work!" If there's one thing I've grown to hate hearing during my career in the YL classroom (along with "Teacher! Mehmet is annoying me!"), it's this phrase. It's so often based on assumption rather than experience and it took me a long time to realise that. Thanks to Vicky Loras' mega-blog challenge, I got to revisit the moment the realisation came about.
If you are still not convinced by the posts above, you are probably at Stage 3. ;-) This was a fun post to write and a humorous take on a PLN debate that just keeps on going. Although it was a tongue-in-cheek look at things, it has proven to be unerringly accurate as a recent textbook case (pun-intended) of Stage 2 blog post anger showed…
Another alternative look at the dogme-side of things, this time by drawing parallels with alternative forms of music. Is dogme the heavy metal of the ELT world? If so, does that make Thornbury and Meddings our answer to Page and Plant?
Of course, it wasn't always like this. I've been down the 'materials heavy' route quite willingly. In fact, I even contributed to it on a local level at least back in the day. This post literally came out of the closet as a clear out led me to discover an old box of handmade hand-outs from the early days of my teaching career. Oh, how times change!
Times do indeed change but sometimes too much change only serves to perplex and confuse. Attempts to expand my horizons by developing a PLN, attending more conferences, giving workshops and doing an MA caused me to question the point I had come to in my career and where I was going with it all. I decided to capture it all on camera and the response from my PLN made me glad I did.
Did someone say 'MA'? I probably wouldn't have considered a blog if I hadn't started my Masters. While it has been a great learning experience, distance learning is not easy, something I reflect on here. For anyone considering doing an MA, I still say 'go for it' but at the same time, don't say I didn't warn you!
One of the professional development highlights of the year was the 3rd Reform Symposium online conference. It was loved by all who attended but I noticed some feelings of awkwardness from some of the presenters who found the whole 'webinar' experience a bit strange. This represents my take on why webinars are actually pretty cool - much like the sea early on a summer's morning. And much like that, "it's lovely once you're in!"
The whole point of all this blogging is to reflect and develop as a teacher and that is what this post explored. A blog post about blog posts (hence the title) and a nice consolidation of my thinking as a blogger and as an MA student.
This was the granddaddy of them all! One of my few 'rant' posts that seemed to ruffle feathers and kick up a hornet's nest. More comments than any other post I've written with several post written elsewhere in reply. Got me some attention and some icy looks from conference organisers when I went to ISTEK a short time later (though not from Burcu of course!) The raging debate also drew quite a few people to my blog for the first time, such as Brad Patterson, which can only be a good thing. It was fun to be the 'controversial one' for a few days at least ;-)
So that's my 11 from '11. What's yours?

The Olmos Ensemble's next concert is Monday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m. and is called "Two Trios and a Fun Quartet!" It features music by Brahms, Francaix and Ligetti and six members of the San Antonio Symphony. Brahms should be familiar to San Antonio audiences after the recent Brahms Festival, but Ligetti has many fans, too. (Click here for an interesting article on Ligetti.) He died in 2006 and is best know for having his music used by Stanley Kubrick as part of the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Other films that have used his music include The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Ligetti was also known as a teacher and Michael Daugherty, (featured this past weekend by the San Antonio Symphony) was one of his famous students. The work on this program is Ligetti's tribute to Brahms. Here is a video of the trio:
The Monday concert will feature Bonnie Terry, violin; Martha Long, flute; Mark Ackerman, oboe; Ilya Shterenberg, clarinet; Sharon Kuster, bassoon; Jeff Garza, horn; and Colette Valentine, piano.
Jean Francaix Quartet for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, & Bassoon
Admission to all Olmos Ensemble concerts is by voluntary donation. This concert takes place at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Antonio, Gill Road and Beryl Drive, 7150 IH-10 West.


text: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system develops antibodies to two of its own proteins, the desmogleins DSG1 and DSG3 that help maintain the integrity of the skin. The immune attack causes painful blisters on the skin and mucus membranes that can lead to infections. Current therapies are geared towards suppressing the entire immune system, but this is problematic as it causes many side effects and leaves the patient vulnerable to infection. To identify better therapeutic targets, researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in Bellinzona, Switzerland, identified the portions of DSG1 and DSG3 that are targeted by antibodies. In the study, published this month in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Antonio Lanzavecchia and colleagues collected immune cells from PV patients and isolated the antibodies to determine which ones were involved in PV. By studying the antibodies, they were able to identify regions of DSG3 that are the primary target of the immune system. These findings could help with new ways to diagnose and treat PV.

Gorgeous new EV concept: the MINI Superleggera Vision
Photo: BMW Group
Against the setting of Lake Como, Italy, the BMW Group will debut a new MINI concept, the Superleggera Vision.
The unveiling of the sexy MINI roadster, designed in partnershp with the coach builder Touring Superleggera, will take place at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2014 alongside a host of other concepts from various manufacturers.
Beneath the hand-formed aluminum body which features a sleek, largely seamless design, a rear fin reminiscent of a Jaguar D-type and traditional European roadster styling cues, lies an all-electric powerplant.
Yes, this bug-eyed MINI is an electric car, but don't sell your Tesla yet, it's just a concept.

Meet & Eat: Alton Brown
Getting to know the folks behind the food and drinks you love.
Like most avid Food Network fans, I have long admired the work of Alton Brown. His trademark show Good Eats began airing in 1999 and is still wowing audiences with its savvy combination of food science, humor, and excellent recipes. He now has several other projects under way, including gigs on Iron Chef America and The Next Iron Chef, as well as publishing the Good Eats books.
We chatted with him about what he's up to these days.
How did you find your passion in food science and facts? Why did you want to do that kind of show instead of a "normal" cooking show? Because that's just me. I make Good Eats for me. I've always done that, it's not a strategy. It's just an expression of who I am. I didn't say, "Well, I'm gonna be the food science guy!" I was thinking of a show that was like little half hour movies. It was never a conscious decision to go after that sector.
So you have a new season of Next Iron Chef coming up. What's your impression of the next round of competitors? When I first started doing NIC I was very much a fish out of water. I'm not a fan of the "reality competition space," as they call it, and had to find a way to be comfortable in that space. But this is my favorite group of competitors. I think these competitors have a better sense of fun than in the past, a more positive attitude going in. But the competition is tougher than it's ever been before. The production company knows that whoever we put in kitchen stadium, has gotta be the best person for the job.
Do you get to know the chefs at all, or are you kept at a distance? This year I think I got to know them far better than in years past. There was a very different atmosphere between myself and the judges, and among the judges and competitors. It was a lot friendlier and I spent more time with them this year. We talked a lot about food.
Which is your favorite show to film on Food Network? I have polar extremes: Good Eats is my child (sometimes I think it's going to kill me). Pretty much 80% of my waking hours of the year are spent writing or producing Good Eats. The other side is Iron Chef America, which is completely unscripted. There's a huge adrenaline rush of doing that show and trying to cram enough knowledge in my head to do two of those battles a day. [Both of these shows are] me, but they're the antithesis of each other.
Do you get to taste any of the food on ICA? It always seems mean that they just make you watch them eat. No I don't, because it's not appropriate for me to do so. Unless I'm filling in for the Chairman I don't partake because there's no reason—I'm not judging or commenting. On Next Iron Chef I'm part of the panel that discusses and even though I don't vote, I have to know what they're talking about and steer the conversation based on what I'm tasting.
You have a new book coming out, Good Eats 2: The Middle Years. Where does this book pick up and what can readers expect to learn from it? It picks up at Episode 84, I think. I know it's heavier than the last one. It kind of continues along the same journey, which is that we went back and remastered everything and made corrections so it's information and culinary know-how. It's for the Good Eats enthusiast, as well as the home cook who'd just like to know these great recipes.
Any other exciting projects coming up? Well I'm on the set of Good Eats right now—actually we just broke for lunch. Working on a squash show, just wrapped up a Halloween candy show. I'm almost done with the third Good Eats book which will be out next year. And then I don't know what's going to happen. We'll be shooting through February, and then beyond there be dragons, as they say.
What's for lunch? I'm looking down from my office...grilled chicken, fresh buttermilk biscuits, some kind of slaw. Oh, a mixed cabbage and broccoli slaw and mango cupcakes for dessert. But I usually work through lunch and I've got to watch my weight - so no cupcakes.
The new season of Next Iron Chef begins Sunday October 3rd, at 9 p.m. ET on Food Network. Also check out Alton's new book, Good Eats 2: The Middle Years, released on September 27th.
About the Author: A student in Providence, Rhode Island, Leah Douglas loves consuming and learning about as much food as possible. She blogs at Feasting on Providence.

Some time ago, an inquisitive mind inquired of me as to whether being lactose intolerant could affect the sufferer's tolerance of wine that has undergone malolactic fermentation. Fair question. "Lactose" and "lactic" are obviously related, and thinking about an intolerance to the "lactic" in wine is a sensible leap with everyone and their brother speculating over what causes wine headaches and the like (derivatory of the overarching food intolerance fad, I expect.)
The good and the bad news is that lactose intolerance has no bearing whatsoever on the ability to digest malolactically-fermented wine. Good news, as the lactose-intolerant among us can drink wine without reservation. Bad news, as the lactose-intolerant among us are equally as enlightened as everyone else as far as identifying a cause of the wily wine headache, i.e. still in the dark.
Short answer: lactose intolerance is unrelated to the ability to tolerate wine that has undergone malolactic fermentation.
Longer answer: Most people who react poorly to lactose suffer from an intolerance, not an allergy. Allergies are inappropriate immune responses to specific epitopes, which can be thought of as molecular shapes. An intolerance, on the other hand, isn't necessarily an immune response. Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose in the small intestine. Since we can only absorb lactose after it has been broken down into its component parts – glucose and galactose – a lactase deficiency means that undigested lactose builds up in the intestines to cause bloating, diarrhea, gas, and other discomforts. Unlike lactose, lactic acid can be absorbed without first being acted upon by the lactase enzyme.
Incidentally, even if lactic acid absorption was somehow related to lactose absorption, quantity would be a pertinent consideration. Milk contains 2-8% lactose, i.e. relatively a whole lot, while wine contains much less than 1% lactic acid.
In conclusion, then, the lactic acid in wine should be of no concern to most people who need to avoid lactose. A glass of wine makes a far friendlier companion to a good dinner than a glass of milk, don't you think?

IFK Malmo 3-2 Nosaby IF (29:05:10)
- click on photos to enlarge image -
Don't stress yourself too much about getting a match ticket for IFK Malmo. Their average crowd of around 100 can fit quite comfortably into the Malmo Stadion - capacity 27,500. They're a club who subscribe to the old 'fallen on hard times' chestnut. As they've plummeted down the divisions, nearly everyone has given up on them. That is, aside from a few nutters. Hi ya!
With Sweden having failed to qualify for the World Cup, football wasn't uppermost in the thoughts of the people of Malmo again for this game - in the fifth level of Swedish football. Talking of the World Cup though, IFK do have quite a claim to fame in that department. In 1958 (stick with this one - Ed), Germany played Argentina in Malmo. Germany's kit clashed with Argentina's but they refused to change it (typical Germans eh Fergie!) and therefore Argentina had to play in a borrowed kit from - IFK Malmo. I bored everyone with that story over the weekend.
This was a bonus match for me. I hadn't actually flown in especially for this game but as I was in the area with my wife and Sister then, weeeell....why not take in a game eh? Beats shopping that's for sure. As I wasn't initially with any lads, my pre-match routine of working through a menu of beer was replaced by drinking in some local culture instead. The Oresund Bridge, Turning Turso, Western Harbour, Malmohus Castle, Slottsparken, Lilla Torg and Stortorget were all ticked off before I drew the line at shopping and headed off for the football.
EFW is making a bit of a name for itself in Sweden after being featured on the SvenskaFans website a couple of times lately, which is the biggest football site in the country. As such, news of my visit had attracted the attention of both Per-Gunnar Nilsson (who has his own very good football website) and Sven Persson - the later of which is part of the Scandinavian Barnet Supporters Club. No really, it's true. I met both lads before the game.
Sven drove me to the game and we bonded instantly because within four minutes of meeting him, he made a small diversion to IFK Malmo's old IP Stadium. Nowadays it is used by LdB FC Malmo in the Swedish Women's Premier League. After a routine snap on the pitch we moved onto another stadium which was adjacent to the actual ground we were going to. Are you keeping up at the back? Simon Inglis would have been having kittens. Three grounds in 30 minutes. Phwoar!
Malmo FF are the big cheeses of Malmo. They recently moved out of the Malmo Stadion (where IFK now play) and into the all singing and dancing Swedbank Stadion - literally next door. I asked a couple of people if I could have a look inside but they refused. What a pompous, jobsworth bunch of absolute knob-jockeys. I hate Malmo FF - for now anyway. "Shove your Swedbank" I said, I'm off to see a proper club - IFK.
And with that, we headed next door for the IFK v Nosaby game and within seconds were personally greeted by the Chairman Lars Holmberg and a number of other staff who simply couldn't do enough for us. Shove that up you ars....(alright that's enough - sensible Ed).
How many grounds of this size have a mobile club shop that is wheeled in by four lovely old ladies in a shopping trolley? That's IFK style and they had biscuits (biscuits!) as well. No beer though. Oh.
Per-Gunnar had come 65km for this game. He actually works with he Nosaby Manager and three of the away teams players were his pupils -he being a teacher. They thought he was a mentalist for coming that far to see them play. When he then told them I'd come from England to watch, they were so dumbstruck, it took them 74 minutes to recover. By then they were 3-0 down. Arf.
Nosaby normally play at grounds that are nothing more than roped off pitches. So when they took to the pitch in this - to them - enormous ground, they were all nudging each other and giggling like school children. They walked to the centre of the pitch and waved to the non-existent crowd - chuckling with their every move.
You don't want me to talk you through the game do you? (nope - Ed). I'll just say that the first half was scintillating, swashbuckling football like on the Nike advert and that. Actually, it wasn't great but in fairness, things picked up in the second half and 5 (five) goals later - the crowd of around 70 were on their feet applauding what - in the end - had been a belting game of football.
IFK are a historic team and this stadium has bags of history. It's a real shame to see a club that was once amongst the elite in Sweden sink so low. They need to move grounds and that's for sure. It's just too surreal seeing them play at that place. I'm not too sure what the future holds for them but unlike the snobs from Malmo FF next door, they'd made EFW feel really welcome and for that reason alone - on this Saturday afternoon anyway - they were in my eyes: the pride of Malmo.
Feel free to leave a comment below

Worst feared for the Beard: San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson likely needs surgery
So clearly, nothing was wrong with Brian Wilson, eh Giants?.
The San Francisco Giants closer is likely headed for surgery on his right elbow after an MRI show structural damage and an issue with the ligament, the Associated Press reported.
While Saturday's comes as a bit of a surprise, in another sense it doesn't at all.
Wilson was handled very delicately all spring. He made a late start before appearing in a spring training game. Then spent the rest of spring training pitching in minor league games.
He made his regular-season debut on Wednesday in Colorado, giving up one run in a non-save situation.
He recorded his first save of the season Thursday in Colorado, when he pitched the ninth with a three-run lead. After giving up one run, Wilson left the bases loaded before recording the final out.
In that outing, manager Bruce Bochy and trainer Dave Groeschner came out to visit Wilson after the pitcher "tweaked his ankle." He finished the inning out, even though he had clearly lost velocity on his pitches.
The Associated Press reported that the Giants will seek at least one other opinion, probably two, including renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
Wilson, 30, reported discomfort in his elbow on Friday and was sent for tests. Translation: The pain from his "tweaked ankle" radiated all the way to his elbow by Friday.
Actual translation: Wilson never tweaked his ankle at all. Reporters after the game said Wilson did not ice his ankle after the game, and was seen walking with no noticeable limp and in flip-flops.
He was to be examined by team orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki on Saturday night.
In the short team, it means that Wilson will undoubtedly be placed on the disabled list, clearing a roster spot for Ryan Vogelsong who will be activated from the DL and make his first start on Sunday.
We'd expect Santiago Casilla to act as the Giants closer for now, but Sergio Romo could also be a candidate.
Look for the Giants to find closer candidates from within the current active roster before going to alternates in the minors, like Fresno closer Heath Hembree.
In the long term, Wilson is making $8.5 million in 2012, and 2013 is his final arbitration eligible season.

A two-week-old moratorium that called on adult-film studios to halt production after a third performer tested positive for HIV will be lifted on Friday, a trade group for the industry announced.
The Free Speech Coalition, the Canoga Park-based trade group for the adult-film industry, lifted the moratorium but said in a statement Monday that all performers will now be required to test for HIV every 14 days to be cleared for work.
"Our industry protocols are designed to be conservative and our doctors support a conservative approach, for the health and well-being of the performers," Diane Duke, chief executive officer of the Free Speech Coalition, said in the statement. "That is why moving forward, the physicians have recommended and we have implemented a 14-day testing protocol."
The change in policy comes after three performers tested positive for HIV within weeks of one another. Duke said tests showed that none of the performers were infected while on set. Doctors who work with the coalition's testing network called Performer Availability Screening Services, said no additional incidences of HIV have surfaced.
Duke noted the coalition's PASS program will work with doctors, workplace-safety specialists and performers to support an education program.
"We can do more to help our performers learn how to protect themselves, on-screen and off," she stated. "While the increased testing will further ensure safer sets, it is important that we remain vigilant. Going forward, we need to constantly look to both performers, producers and health care professionals to find ways to improve our protocols."
Adult-film production has been halted from time to time by the industry itself when cases of a sexually transmitted infection have either been suspected or confirmed.
In 2004, filming in the largely San Fernando Valley-based adult-film industry halted after four performers tested positive for HIV, which led to 50 people being quarantined because of possible exposure.
Since then, the industry has worked to self-regulate and increase testing procedures for performers, and Duke said HIV-positive cases have become uncommon.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has been aggressively pushing for enforcement of L.A. County's new condoms-in-porn law — Measure B — has said this case demonstrates its importance. The foundation introduced and supported the measure, which supporters say will prevent sexually transmitted diseases from spreading from within the industry to the mainstream. Studios that violate the law and do not apply for permits or require condoms could face civil fines and criminal charges.
A California Assembly bill that would have required a similar law statewide died in the legislature last week.
Duke and other performers have said the industry's testing standards do work, which is why the infection was caught.

Coming Soon …
So I wanted to share some exciting news with my super amazing VBR readers! My hubby and I are over the moon, reeling and doing back flips while frolicking and indulging in tasty, sugary celebratory treats because we're expecting a baby boy this summer! EeeeEeeeee!! I'm so so SO excited to be a vegan mommy!
Since I'm almost 6 months into this exciting life-changing journey, I decided to share some of my fave expectant mommy tips. Enjoy!
8 Bits of Advice for Vegan Moms-to-Be:
- Take a vegan pre-natal vitamin every day (especially for iron and folic acid). I ♥ (!) the ones from Trader Joe's (they're complete and gentle on the tummy).
- Eat lots of whole foods including colorful fruits and veggies (more than likely, citrus will be your new BFF, especially during your first trimester when everything else seems SO nasty).
- Drink LOTS of water—at least 64 fl. oz. a day.
- Get lots of sleep! Take naps throughout the day and make sure to go to bed early! This should be easy 'cause you'll notice that you're always beyond butt-tired anyway (especially during your first tri).
- Use jojoba, shea butter, or coconut oil to soothe your growing belly (and prevent stretch marks). I've been religiously using Kelapo Coconut Oil, and it not only feels wonderful on my skin but it leaves me smelling like a yummy tropical pregster. 😉
- Have fun shopping for maternity clothes (I'm LOVING my H&M maternity skinny jeans), mommy jewelry (found some amazing pieces on Etsy), and baby goodies (found a ton of organic cotton baby clothes, bedding, and toys on Amazon.com)!
- Load up your iphone with preggy apps like BabyBump, Sprout, My Pregnancy, and What To Expect. Then have fun browsing the forums, uploading belly pics, and joining your birth month club (I can't even begin to tell you how helpful these apps have been!).
- Revel in the fact that you're providing the healthiest foundation for your baby by being vegan! Woot!
I'd love to hear your mommy-to-be tips, too! Please share! ♥

Congratulations to you and your husband! I came across your new fav video today and had to leave you a little congrats! Its so exciting to see your great tips, I just found out I'm carrying my own little bundle of joy and being vegan knew your site was my go to for all things healthy. Can't wait to hear more about your birth and try out these awesome products. Vegan mom's rule!
Congratulations!!! We are so excited for you! Plus we love your secret stretch mark cream :)!
Congrats on your baby boy – I remember you commented on my blog once when I was pregnant that you were thinking about trying soon. So glad that everything is going well! Best of luck delivering your little one. Now that I've been through it, I would recommend spending a lot of time researching info about breast feeding, if you are going to bf – it is so much harder than I thought and I wish I had spent more time preparing for it!
Congrats!! Very Exciting! 🙂
First, congratulations!
I'm due in a week and a half and have been experimenting w/ homemade hair and body products my whole pregnancy because I was scared of the chemicals in a lot of products. I've found a winner for body cleaning/exfoliating/moisturizing:
Unrefined coconut oil (the refined doen't smell as good)
Almond oil
Sea Salt
Baking Soda
Essential Oil
I just kind of eyeball the proprotions, just a little essential oil and baking soda, lots of the other stuff. You have to warm the coconut oil up a bit at first to get it liquid then mix in the other stuff until it's a nice creamy texture. Rub it all over yourself when you're in the shower and rinse off.
On a side note, when I got pregnant all of the providers at my Dr. office were a little worried becasue I'm vegan. Now that I'm almost done, they can't get over how healthy I am and how great my pregnancy has gone.
Congratulations!! I always love hearing news like this. 🙂 I'll also be sure to pass on your tips to my pregnant friends, who I'm trying to convince to go natural! (They're so stubborn, geez!) And OMG I love coconut oil, too. 😀 The taste, smell.. ahhh. Best of luck with baby!
I love you, I love you, I love you! And I love your hubby! And I love the baby!
So exciting!!!!!!!! I loves me some cute little vegan-baby-cheeks! I can't wait to see all the fun vegan preggo things you come across! 🙂 Yay! Yay! Yay!
Congrats to you and your hubby! 🙂
Aww congratulations! I am neither married nor expecting but being a vegan mother has always worried me. Nice to know i wont have to revert to ovo lacto to stay healthy for me and my child.
Congratulations!!!!! :))
Congrats Sunny!! My vegan pregnancy tips: coconut water..lots of it. Much better hydration than straight water (which went through me faster AND meant even more trips to the bathroom..which gets really insane in the third trimester). Omega-3 is also very important for the little one..I tried a vegan prenatal with it but couldn't stomach it so like you found a prenatal I could stomach and supplemented with an omega 3 supplement (vegan of course). Also, if you can, lots of kale and greens with iron will really help as you progress along and the volume of blood needed increases. I was a little anemic for the first time in my life second trimester (after having "wow, your iron levels are higher than a non-vegetarian" comments from the doctor and midwife in the first trimester)..I stopped eating a lot of kale because of yucky morning sickness early on and then didn't get back on it..I started again and the iron levels shot back up! My little vegan baby girl was born in September super healthy and happy!
Congrats! That is so amazing!
GIRL YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE THE CUTEST BABY EVER. This also explains why you haven't been posting a whole lot, you were probably battling morning sickness! We have a whole section of the PPK forums dedicated to babies and kids, if you want to chat with some other moms. Yay!

"Our Country's Good" is set in 1788 in the penal colony that became Australia. It is an adaptation of "The Playmaker" by Australian author Thomas Keneally.
The stark landscape lacks the lush green and gentle rains of England's countryside.
Food rations are scarce.
The prisoners' lives before were as harsh as the environment they now find themselves in. A woman tells of her father giving her over to police for a thievery he committed.
Women had turned to whoring as the only way to survive and along the way lost their sense of possibilities for true affections.
For the most part their guards are seemingly cut from the same coarse cloth. More, they seem to revel in sadistic excesses such as whipping prisoners to near death.
The gentleman Governor and commander is a man who thinks that all reform and redemption are possible. He enlists a lieutenant with theater interests to engage the prisoners in putting on a play to help cultivate what Lincoln would refer to as "their better Angels".
This play within the play is meant to show us that art can humanize. The show must go on and does—despite a lead being condemned to a punishment of death, the lover of another being taken by a fever, and the non-stop cruelties of the lower level officers to the prisoners.
There are many touches by director Roger Smart that brilliantly underline the "there but for fortune" set up of the play. In the shadows between scene changes we see prisoner characters transform themselves into soldiers and commanders through donning uniforms in stylized costume change rituals where you seem to see their backs straighten as they assume the more upper class character. The starkness of the set by director and scenic designer Roger Smart helps convey how convict and guard alike are both prisoners of a punishing terrain hungrily awaiting supply ships that don't arrive.
This is a much celebrated script—winning Olivier awards in England and Tony-nominated here for playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker.
Fair warning though-- this is relatively verbal and cerebral fare. The point of the script that arts and theater in particular is a humanizing and elevating force is asserted more than demonstrated by the story. We know from the start that this point is being set up and nearly the entirely script is the very verbal unfolding of that set up.
Shattered Globe is producing this play to help make a timely statement about the importance of theater and the arts, especially now when public and private funding are so difficult to acquire. The acting gives the script full service--across the board the actors hit the right notes.
If you want to see this much celebrated play the run continues through February 22, 2014
Presented at Theater Wit
1229 West Belmont Avenue, Chicago
For tickets call 773 975 8150 or visit the Shattered Globe website

Oh well.
If you put it that way it would be fine, but melee would have to also be able to be in range of the enemy more often than they currently are able to.
Like, a ranged character can sit there and attack the whole fight, a melee has to dip in and out to be efficient. This can't really be fixed easily besides simply giving melee attacks a bit more damage.

Double dose of radiation for seniors will allow them to avoid pat downs
Steve Watson
March 15, 2012
Reeling from recent fresh backlash, the TSA says it is relaxing security procedures for over 75s – essentially Big Sis has promised to stop feeling up grandma at the airport.
According to reports, new TSA rules will allow the elderly to keep on shoes and jackets, and agents will be advised to avoid carrying out pat downs unless absolutely necessary.
The move comes in the wake of several incidents involving TSA agents subjecting elderly people to strip searches, colostomy bag inspections and adult diaper investigation.
Of course, this also means that instead of being groped if she sets off an alarm, grandma could be sent back through a full body scanner and fired with another dose of ionizing radiation.
The agency says it will deploy more agents to visually analyze passengers and determine whether they qualify for the less strict screening method.
The TSA claims that the new policy represents a move away from "a one-size-fits-all approach to security toward "intelligence-driven and risk-based security models".
A test program for the new procedures is underway this week at four international airports in the U.S. – Orlando, Chicago, Denver and Portland.
Critics will contend that this is nothing more than a replacement of one form of invasive security theater with another, and that the real solution here is to remove the TSA from the nation's airports altogether.
If The Department of Homeland Security was serious about protecting the lives of Americans, it would allow people to fly without the fear of being treated like cattle, being irradiated in next to useless body scanners and being sexually harassed and groped by overly authoritative goons in uniform.
As we have previously reported, the fear of such treatment is killing thousands more Americans as they take to the highways instead of flying.
Of course, we have also heard these kind of empty promises from the TSA before. When the agency announced before the Senate last year that it was changing its policy to stop airport screeners intrusively searching young children, it had already made almost the exact same announcement in 2010, yet pat-downs on children continued regardless.

WBU Coed, Alums Vie for Queen Honors at Homecoming
PLAINVIEW – A slate of four former students and 11 current students are vying for two different crowns during the weekend's homecoming celebration at Wayland Baptist University.
Ladies from the honor classes of 1967, 1977, 1987 and 1997 are returning to Wayland to vie for the honor of Coming Home Queen. The winner will be announced at the luncheon slated for noon on Saturday, Feb. 24, at the University Center, and the entire court introduced at the basketball games later that afternoon. Alumni will vote for their Coming Home Queen choice during Friday's activities on campus. On the ballot for the alumni honors are Pat Johnson of Amarillo, Beverly Chatman of Amarillo, Judy Thomason Bratcher of Bryan and Lyndee Carter Gasaway of Haskell.
Announcement of the Homecoming Queen and court will be at halftime of the Pioneers' games. Nominees include Stephanie Ciszek, a senior from Phoenix, Ariz., representing the Wayland Pep Band; Amy Dillon, a junior from League City, representing Student Foundation; Alanna Dixon, a junior from Plainview, representing Students in Free Enterprise; Lindsey Fowler, a junior from Lubbock, representing Student Union Board; Abby Holmes, a senior from Hobbs, N.M., representing Alpha Delta Kappa; KrisAnn Jennings, a senior from Perryton, representing the Senior Class; Leigha Messer, a senior from Amarillo, representing Kappa Upsilon Chi; Joy Miller, a senior from Amarillo, representing Student Government Association; Stephanie Nelson, a senior from Pampa, representing Senate; Katie Trimble, a junior from Childress, representing Baptist Student Ministries; and Callie Wheeler, a senior from Whitewright, representing the Junior Class.
Representing the class of 1967, Pat Johnson started her college career after her children began school, then began a teaching career in the Plainview schools. In 1992, Pat and husband Dub moved to Amarillo, where she is a volunteer and substitute at Belmar Elementary and attends First Baptist Church. The Johnsons have two daughters, Debbie Holt and Amy McOwen, both of whom were teachers like their mother.
Beverly Chatman represents the class of 1977. A longtime teacher in Brownfield, Frenship and now Amarillo, Chatman works with the Tyler Resource Center in downtown Amarillo, working with 3- and 4-year-old homeless children in shelters. Chatman was a cheerleader at Wayland and competed in the Miss Wayland pageant. She and husband Stan, director for the Palo Duro cluster of schools and a WBU graduate, have two children: Trenesa and Jarred.
Representing the class of 1987, Judy Bratcher studied music and education at Wayland and was active in the International Choir, Rejoice and BSU. She worked as a recruiter and directed Rejoice for several years before beginning a teaching career. She also owned a music studio in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for several years, and she now teaches at Crockett Elementary in Bryan. She and husband Joel, a Wayland graduate and director of the Baptist Student Ministries at Texas A&M University, have two children, Jordan and Jonathan.
The most recent graduate on the ballot, Lyndee Carter Gasaway represents the class of 1997. At WBU, Gasaway was in International Choir and Sigma Alpha Iota and studied education. After graduation, she has taught at both the elementary and junior high levels and was active in her husband's youth ministry. She is a homemaker in Haskell, where husband Greg, also a WBU graduate, is pastor of the First Baptist Church and she is active in the church music ministry and women's ministry. The Gasaways have three children: Moriah, Garrett and Ainsley.
