Gateway's WHITE CHRISTMAS Begins Tonight
Casting is complete, and rehearsals are underway for the Long Island premiere of "Irving Berlin's White Christmas," playing tonight, Dec. 14-30, at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts.
This live, musical adaptation is based on the 1954 film, "White Christmas," starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen and Rosemary Clooney. Originally released as a follow-up to Berlin and Crosby's 1942 film "Holiday Inn," "White Christmas" tells the story of two ex-army buddies who save a picturesque Vermont inn by lending their showbiz expertise and find true love while they're at it.
"Irving Berlin's White Christmas," with book by David Ives and Paul Blake, features 17 songs by the great American composer and lyricist, such as, "Blue Skies," "Happy Holidays," "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm," "Let Yourself Go," "Sisters" and "White Christmas."
The show made its world premiere as a touring production in 2006 and transferred to Broadway's Marriott Marquis Theatre for the 2008 and 2009 holiday seasons. Directed by Tony Award-winner Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Tony nominee Randy Skinner, the holiday musical was nominated for two Tony Awards and six Drama Desk Awards. Gateway's production will use the original Broadway set on the stage of the Patchogue Theatre.
Two Long Island natives and "Irving Berlin's White Christmas" alumni, director David Ruttura and choreographer Mary Giattino, return to Gateway to lead the production.
Ruttura was Bobbie's assistant director on the Berlin musical and is currently the resident director for "Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark." He was assistant director for the Broadway and touring productions of "Million Dollar Quartet" and was associate director for "Lombardi."
Giattino, a former Rockette, served as Skinner's assistant choreographer and assistant dance captain during the Broadway run of "Irving Berlin's White Christmas." She was resident choreographer for the "Billy Elliot" national tour and has choreographed numerous shows at Gateway. She will re-create Skinner's original choreography for the show under his supervision.
Christopher Vettel and Matthew Labanca will play the song and dance team of Bob Wallace and Phil Davis.
Vettel last appeared on the Gateway stage as Alex in the Berlin revue, "I Love a Piano." Other productions include tours of "Sunset Boulevard," "Cabaret" and the 30th Anniversary Tour of "Annie."
LaBanca played the roles of Jimmy and Scooter in the Broadway production of "Irving Berlin's White Christmas" and understudied for the title role in Broadway's "Young Frankenstein." National tours include "The King and I," "Anything Goes," "Joseph... Dreamcoat" and "Crazy for You."
Trista Moldovan and Alissa Alter are the "devoted" Haynes sisters, Betty and Judy.
Moldovan played Christine in the Broadway and touring productions of "Phantom of the Opera." Television appearances include "All My Children," "Celebrity Ghost Stories" and "Guiding Light."
Altler was dance captain for Arena Stage's production of "The Music Man," and also performed in "42nd Street" at North Shore Music Theatre. Tours include "A Chorus Line" and "Guys and Dolls."
Steve Brady plays resort owner and Wallace & Davis' former commanding officer, General Waverly. Brady returns to Gateway after playing Colonel Pickering in this summer's production of "My Fair Lady." Other experience includes Broadway's "Inherit the Wind" and the national tour of "The Exonerated."
Beth Glover is Martha Watson, a former Broadway star and the inn's housekeeper and receptionist. Glover returns to Gateway after starring alongside Sally Struthers in this season's "9 to 5." She has been nominated for an Innovative Theatre Award and was voted Best Leading Actress in a Musical by The San Francisco Bay Area Critics Circle. National tours include "All Shook Up," "Promises, Promises," "Anything Goes" and "The Taffetas."
Alison Cordaro and Rebecca Goldfarb, both current Gateway Acting School students, share the role of Susan Waverly, the general's granddaughter.
Scot Patrick Allan (Mike), Blake Armistead (Ezekiel), Michael Edward Baker (Sheldrake, Snoring Man), Elish Conlon, Nikki Della Penta (Rhoda), Laurie Difilippo, Kim Dufrenoy (Mrs. Snoring Man), Alicia Hemann, Graham Keen, Matthew Kilgore (Dance Captain), Edward Lawrence, Janelle Neal (Rita), Jake Primmerman, Sean Quinn, Sara Michelle Reardon, Kelly Skidmore, Amy Van Norstrand and Chaz Wolcott complete the company.
Gateway's holiday season concludes with a special New Year's version of "The Rat Pack is Back," Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 at the Patchogue Theatre.

How Will It End, Charlie Sheen?
A Robert Downey-type recovery? A Lindsay Lohan-esque netherworld? Mel Gibson-style infamy? Or worse?
Charlie Sheen has a plan. "My plan is the best one," he said on NBC's Today show on Monday. "You gotta have a plan," he told TMZ later the same day. His last plan—to move a bunch of porn stars into a house down the street—didn't work out, he admitted, but "now every plan I have is the best plan in the room." What is that plan, exactly? "You're watching it," he said. "You're in the middle of it." In other words, the plan is whatever is happening at any given moment. "Sorry my life is so much more bitchin' than yours," he said, addressing his critics. "I planned it this way. You could have planned better. You didn't."
Things don't always turn out as planned. Sheen's media rampage—starting on Friday when he phoned into Alex Jones' radio show to insult his boss, Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, and culminating in a spate of sit-down interviews with NBC, ABC, TMZ, Piers Morgan Tonight, and TheHoward Stern Show—has provoked more than a little concern. Dr. Drew Pinsky called Sheen's behavior an "acute manic episode." His uncle, Joe Estevez, says he's "on a journey, and we wish we could help him along with it." But does the journey end with a multimillion-dollar movie deal and an Oscar or with Sheen driving off a cliff on national television?
Luckily, Sheen's not alone. He stands on the shoulders of giant screw-ups like himself. There are an infinite number of possible outcomes when a celebrity has a public meltdown. Here are a few of the most likely, from best-case scenario to worst.
The Robert Downey Jr. Model. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Downey's life seemed like an ongoing near-death experience. Arrested several times on drug-related charges, in and out of rehab, jailed for missing a drug test, he became better known for his off-screen behavior than for his acting. "It's like I have a loaded gun in my mouth and my finger's on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gunmetal," he told a judge in 1999. But some of his best work was ahead of him. Downey got sober after his last arrest in 2001, and went on to earn an Oscar nomination for his role in Tropic Thunder and to win a Golden Globe for his role in Sherlock Holmes. Sheen may not have the acting chops to pull a true Downey-style career 180—or the willingness to enter rehab. (He slammed Alcoholics Anonymous in his TMZ interview.) Downey also didn't have the reputation for nastiness and megalomania that Sheen does. But if the guy from Less Than Zero can get clean and turn his life around, anyone can. Of course, Sheen would probably argue that his career doesn't need resuscitation: As the (until recently) highest paid actor in television, he's still on top.
The Keith Richards Model. Richards proved that destroying your body does not mean destroying your career. Richards, a longtime heroin addict, was arrested regularly for possession, and was once so high he let a firework "burn his finger to the bone." His days of hard drug use are behind him, he said in 2008, but he still "smokes weed all the damn time." Richards has even outlived the joke about how he can't die. Sheen seems to think he's already following in Richards' footsteps. If he was going to overdose, he told TMZ, he would have done it already: "It's not gonna happen now; I survived it," he said. "I'm here to talk about it."
The Palin/Hilton/Blagojevich Model. The best fix for overexposure is more exposure. That's the lesson taught by Paris Hilton, who leveraged her sex-tape scandal into a career as a famous person. For Sarah and Bristol Palin, reality TV was a way to earn money and (in theory) resuscitate their image. Patti Blagojevich competed on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here after her husband Rod was impeached by the Illinois House of Representatives. The last few days have proven that Sheen, with his bravado and knack for language—he described himself in a Today show interview as a "rock star from Mars" with "tiger blood and Adonis DNA"—would make a compelling reality show character. (Sheen's uncle, Joe, reportedly tried to get a show produced called "About the Sheens.") But they've also shown he's willing to do it for free.
The Lindsay Lohan Model. Lohan's penchant for self-destruction has affected her career, but it's not yet clear whether her acting is derailed or merely on hold. Lohan has been to court eight times in the last nine months for hearings related to DUI arrests and parole violations. In February, she was charged with stealing a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store. The last movie she made was Machete, a campy shoot-'em-up in which she played a spoiled socialite version of herself (only with less clothing). Sheen could easily spend some time in the same netherworld of drugs and court dates, which would force him to put projects on hold, as the cost to studios of insuring him rises.
The Mel Gibson Model: Racial slurs, anti-Semitism, and domestic abuse should be enough to end a Hollywood career. Mel Gibson tried all three. First came the vaguely anti-Semitic Passion of the Christ. He then called a female police officer "s---- t---" and made anti-Semitic remarks to a Jewish cop when they arrested him over for driving drunk in 2006. His career ended for real after tapes emerged of him screaming at his ex-wife on the phone, saying, among other insults, that she would be to blame if she were "raped by a pack of n------s." Sheen seems to be going for the Gibson hat-trick. In 2010, he faced charges of assaulting his wife. He referred to his boss, Chuck Lorre, on a radio show as "Chaim Levine," a quip some have interpreted as anti-Semitic. If he keeps talking, he may inadvertently drop an n-bomb. The fact that two out of three doesn't get you barred from Hollywood says a lot.
The Heath Ledger Model. Ledger accidentally overdosed on prescription medication in 2008 at the top of his still-young career, and has since become the go-to cautionary tale for stars in peril. Sheen acknowledged the tragedy in his TMZ interview: "It's like, damn, damn, damn, damn, and that sucks bad." But Sheen says he's past that phase of his life—he now knows how to take drugs safely. "Don't do drugs that are only supposed to be administered in a hospital, not at home," he says. "I mean, read the warnings, read the black labels … Do your freakin' homework."
Perhaps the biggest cause for concern is that despite the domestic abuse charges, his recent job loss, his estrangement from his father, and the fact that a porn star and a model are helping take care of his children, Sheen seems to think he's on the right path. (Update, March 2: A Los Angeles judge ordered that Sheen's twin sons be removed from his home last night.) This, apparently, is the plan. As Sheen himself might say, he could have planned better. He didn't.

Used 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Review
Edmunds expert review
The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro is a head-turning muscle car that goes like stink and will certainly get you noticed. But it also comes with significant trade-offs that can make the Camaro hard to live with on a daily basis.
What's new for 2011
Vehicle overview
The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro may officially be a muscle car, but in so many ways it seems more like an exotic sports car, albeit at a very unexotic price. Just like an exotic, the Camaro looks spectacular, with the sort of proportions and flourishes you used to doodle during Mr. Howard's fifth-grade math class. There's plenty of go to match the show, too, with potent acceleration and an inherent carefree attitude that'll make your fellow motorists envious.
Yet, just like an exotic, the Camaro is rife with compromises. It's hard to see out of and has an uncomfortable backseat, a not-so-useful trunk and quirky ergonomics. As such, the 2011 Camaro requires its driver to sacrifice much in return for its looks and tire-burning power. Compared to its Ford and Dodge rivals, the Camaro is simply a harder car to live with on a daily basis.
For 2011, it also has less of a performance advantage, as the Challenger and Mustang have gained new V6 and V8 engines. Chevy upped the output of the Camaro's V6 this year to remain king of the specification charts, but because the Ford weighs less, the two old rivals are nearly identical in straight-line acceleration. And just like last year, the Camaro remains the less enjoyable car to drive around corners.
On the positive side, a new convertible version debuts this year. Fitted with a power-operated top, the Camaro convertible is offered in the same V6 and V8 configurations as the coupe. GM says it wanted to keep the convertible's performance high, so rather than soften the suspension, it made many reinforcements to the body structure to keep body flex to a minimum.
If you like its looks, the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro will deliver. And it's not totally one-dimensional. You also get a refined ride, comfortable front seats, ample feature content, a low price and impressive performance out of the deal. But for us, the extensive compromises are just too hard to ignore. If you're looking for the most compelling muscle car to drive, our pick is the 2011 Ford Mustang. And if you're looking for the most personable and livable muscle car, that's the 2011 Dodge Challenger.
Trim levels & features
The 2011 Chevy Camaro is a four-seat coupe or convertible available in V6-powered LS (coupe only), 1LT and 2LT trim levels, and V8-powered 1SS and 2SS trim levels.
Standard equipment on the LS includes black 18-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, cruise control, keyless entry, air-conditioning, four-way manual front seats with power recline, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, OnStar and a six-speaker stereo with CD player, auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio. The 1LT adds 18-inch alloy wheels, foglamps and eight-way power seats. The Convenience and Connectivity package adds to the 1LT rear park assist, remote ignition (automatic only), Bluetooth, an iPod interface and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. The 2LT includes those items plus 19-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors (driver-side auto-dimming), extra gauges, a head-up display, heated front seats, leather upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a nine-speaker Boston Acoustics stereo (available separately on 1LT).
The 1SS is equipped similarly to the 1LT but adds a V8, 20-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, a rear lip spoiler and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The 2SS essentially features the 1SS's performance bits with the 2LT's convenience and luxury features.
The RS package (available on all trims but the LS) adds 20-inch wheels, xenon headlights and a unique taillight design. A sunroof is optional on all coupes but the LS, while a variety of exterior stripes and trim items are available across the board.
In addition to a soft top that powers down in about 20 seconds, all convertible versions also come standard with rear park assist.
Performance & mpg
The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro LS and LT come with a 3.6-liter V6 good for 312 hp and 278 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual is standard and a six-speed automatic is optional. In our performance testing of last year's slightly less powerful model, a manual V6 went from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 17 mpg city/28 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined with the manual, and 18/29/22 mpg with the automatic.
The Camaro SS gets a 6.2-liter V8 that produces 426 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque with the standard six-speed manual and 400 hp and 410 lb-ft with the six-speed automatic. With the manual, the SS hits 60 mph in 5 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 16/24/19 with the manual, and despite featuring cylinder-deactivation technology and less power, the automatic achieves only a slight 1 mpg improvement on the highway.
Every 2011 Chevy Camaro comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and OnStar. In Edmunds brake testing, both Camaro V6 and V8 coupes with 20-inch wheels came to a stop from 60 mph in an excellent 111 feet.
The Camaro coupe has not been rated using the government's new, more strenuous 2011 crash-testing procedures. However, the coupe's 2010 ratings (which aren't comparable to the new methodology) were four out of five stars for frontal crash protection (driver and passenger) and five stars for front-occupant side protection. The convertible has not yet been tested.
Whether you choose the rapid V6 or tire-shredding V8, no one will ever accuse your 2011 Chevrolet Camaro of being slow. The Camaro also displays impressive amounts of grip, communicative steering and a refined suspension that make it exponentially more talented around corners than any Camaro that came before it.
We just wish the experience were less like driving a really agile tank, as the Camaro's poor outward visibility makes it hard to get a real feel for the car's dimensions when cornering. Around town and on the highway, the Camaro is actually quite civil, with a comfortable ride and minimal wind and road noise.
Muscle cars have traditionally had bland interiors, but the Camaro laudably mixes retro touches like square gauge hoods and the available four-pack of auxiliary gauges with a modern dash design. However, this style comes with notable drawbacks. Most surfaces consist of hard, cheap plastic, and those retro gauges look as if they're from a plastic toy. Worse, however, is the overstyled steering wheel that is seemingly not designed for human hands.
Visibility is also a significant issue, as the Camaro's low-profile windows make it difficult to park and place in corners. The backseat, meanwhile, is the smallest in its class and doesn't fold down to expand trunk space (though there is a pass-through). The 11.3-cubic-foot trunk (10.2 cubes in the convertible) itself is of a reasonable size, but its opening is so comically small that loading elongated items is an exercise in futility -- golfers be warned.

^^ I figure I can use my toshiba for exams and my mini notebook for everyday. It just seems so much better than lugging around my big toshiba.
I'm thinking about one of those mini-things too.Too many resources, no simple place to turn. I want some kind of online test, where I click what I want to do with the computer and it returns several recommendations. For instance, I'm definitely not a "gamer." All I do is wordprocessing, in fact, and web browsing. Email. I don't even do MyBook or YouFace or whatever you children waste your time on ... ...I own an Inspiron I got about 3 years ago. I'm sure I'll have to replace it soon. Tulane pretty much insists that we remain on the IBM platform, because of the exam software (unless you want to hand-write ...).Another point: DON'T GET VISTA. Get Windows XP Pro.
Your going to have a hard time buying a laptop from a major manufacturer that runs on XP instead of Vista
If I were a 1L, I would definitely buy a MacBook or any sort of Mac, even with the hard drive problems. I would just be sure to get AppleCare.

Long Key Natural Area is part of a land complex historically known as Sam Jones's Seven Islands. During a military expedition in January 1841, an engineer accompanying Colonel Harney described the regiment's encounter at Sam Jones's Seven Islands:
"Sam Jones's possessions consist of a group of several islands, differing in size and separated by narrow slices. Upon the largest of these [Long Key], is about one hundred and fifty yards in width and half a mile in length, are three villages and dancing-grounds, the general features being the same as Chitto's Island [probably Chitto Tustengugge Island, i.e. Snake Warrior Island], but the soil sandy. There are no villages on the other islands, but they have been cleared in the center and planted with pumpkins, melons, and corn, which were all destroyed. Our greatest annoyance at this place was the immense number of fleas, cockroaches, and mosquitoes." (Brooks, 1880)
The current Long Key Natural Area site occupies a large portion of this historic island complex. Records of human settlement on Long Key (what is now part of Long Key Natural Area), the largest of the islands, dates back to at least 1000 B.C.E. with the Tequesta Indians. During the 19th century, the string of islands west of Fort Lauderdale became some of the first permanent settlement sites of the Seminole Indians.
During the tenure of Governor Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, the State of Florida vigorously pursued the drainage of the Everglades for the purpose of creating dry land for settlement and cultivation. In 1906, Colorado tycoon R.P. Davie purchased 27,500 acres of Everglades for $2 an acre from the state's Internal Improvement Fund. Much of this land encompassed the small farming settlement of "Zona" (present-day Davie), named by Panama Canal workers who organized the Zona Glades Company in 1912. Subdividing his land into 10-acre parcels, R.P. Davie advertised his fertile muck lands to investors throughout the country.
One pioneering family who took advantage of the booming agriculture industry of the early 1920s in Davie was the Chaplan family. The Chaplans owned property in present-day Tree Tops Park and Pine Island Ridge, and a portion of the Long Key Ridge, one section of which was next to the Kapok Tree restaurant site, which was constructed at a later date. The Chaplan/Scism families established a nursery business (in and around the western oak hammock) and cattle pasture on the property. The Chaplans later subdivided their land holdings and sold off five-acre citrus tracts, including acreage for the future Flamingo Groves operation. Flamingo Groves, located directly across from the present-day Long Key Natural Area, was founded in 1926. Another buyer Chaplan sold his acreage to was Dr. Baez. Baez built two houses in the interior eastern hammock, one of which still stands. The citrus groves at Long Key Natural Area site are believed to have been planted in the 1940s. The Chaplans' nursery and citrus operations are still evident in the remnant citrus groves left on the site.
Beginning in 1966, the appearance of the site changed as construction of Pioneer City (1966-1971), a western-themed park, began. Pioneer City had constructed a fairly elaborate transportation system. There was a stagecoach, ferry, and train operations set up within the site. The southernmost portion of the site was used as a parking lot. Although the area has grown over, pavement and road materials are still evident. From this parking entrance, ferry boats would launch in the horseshoe pond and loop around the interior perimeter of the site.
Another means of accessing the site was by train. The train went through the interior of the hammock and also headed west around the perimeter of the hammock. Remnants of this system exist today, evident in ditches running through the hammock and old timber logs used for tracks.
The parking lot in the south was no longer used and became overgrown with weeds. The canals used for the ferry system of Pioneer City, located along the northern portion of the site, were filled in. A bridge was constructed over the southern canal that connected the two lakes. By 1976, construction of the Kapok Tree restaurant was completed (Broward County Engineering Division, 1976). Trails originated from the building, leading to circles of large decorative columns and gazebos. A parking lot was paved to the west of the main building, and the open areas were landscaped. The restaurant closed in 1987 and was demolished soon after.
All of these ventures still influence the current natural area site. Although the Baez home in the southeastern hammock across from the eastern citrus grove is the only structure still standing, the land shows evidence of the previous operations it once supported. From the clearings of the Seminole Indians within the oak hammocks, the trails left from old train routes in Pioneer City, and the citrus groves remnants, the historical human impact of the site is still evident.
Using funds from the 1989 bond issue, Broward County purchased 151 acres in 1990. The site was used for naturalist-led tours and educational programs. A wood-chipped equestrian trail running east and west on the site was installed in areas known not to be sensitive. This trail is connected to the Town of Davie's open-space trail system.
In the election held on November 7, 2000, 74 percent of the voters approved Broward County's Safe Parks and Land Preservation Bond Referendum. A portion of this money ($6.8 million) was spent on the construction of the nature center.
On August 9, 2006, the groundbreaking ceremony for Long Key Nature Center was held and soon after construction began. The nature center includes an assembly hall, an exhibit hall, a classroom, a theater, offices, and restrooms. A bridge spanning a restored wetland connects the nature center to a pedestrian nature trail.
On March 14, 2008, Long Key Nature Center held its grand opening. Since its opening, it has been the site of many activities such as hiking, birdwatching, scout projects, meetings, and weddings, to name a few.

Millennium Falcon
The Millennium Falcon was the personal starship of Han Solo for much of his smuggling career, a true 'hot rod' vehicle and one of the most unreliable starships in history. Solo was forced to constantly tinker with the ships inner workings even in flight. Despite the normally durable and dependable character of Corellian ships, the Falcon was an unpredictable high-powered maverick, even in the Rebel fleet. Its main computer had three auxiliary droid brains which frequently gave the ship its own internal monologue. Its firepower was capable of fighting off Imperial fighter wings and bombing larger ships. And its hyperdrive was famously one of the fastest in existence.
Han Solo acquired the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a high-stakes sabacc game. Some versions of the story note that at the time Lando owned a used starship lot and had specifically bet "any ship on [his] lot". Han cunningly claimed Lando's own heavily souped-up custom job of a YT-1300 which had been carelessly left with the other ships. The Falcon itself was a chop job from the start--having been cobbled together from two scrapped ships in a Nar Shaddaa junkyard. Since it had been pieced back together, more than one previous owner had worked on improving the design to match some vision of perfection. As a result, any given component on the ship was unlikely to be joined to components made by the same manufacturer. Under Han, speed became the ships Raison d'etre. Solo pushed the ship to its limit and beyond, going so far as to equip his ship with specialized devices to streamline it while it was in a tachyonic state.

There were at least 16 female athletes in the 2012 summer Olympics who were openly gay. In "Girls Who Score," Ily Goyanes' new erotica anthology, 16 stories tell of female athletes who aren't just gay; they also get intimate off the field. The book, out Aug. 30, is published by Cleis Press, a 32-year-old publishing house that specializes in gay and lesbian literature.
Goyanes, a Miami-based author, has been managing the "Girls Who Score" Blog Tour. Because anthologies bring content penned by authors from around the world, a physical book tour can be complicated, Goyanes says. A blog tour consists of a Web site where each author posts an introspective every day.
She's hosting a book-release party on Thursday, Aug. 30, at Eleazar Delgado Studios in Miami, where DJ Maximus 3000 of Miami Beach Gay Pride will spin, local activist Deborah Magdalena will read excerpts, and Premium Blend's new line of wine-based cocktails will flow.
Before the date of her release, Goyanes shared some insights with the Sun Sentinel:
Sun Sentinel: Give us a quick intro to "Girls Who Score."
Ily Goyanes: It's a collection of 16 stories from some of the most respected erotica authors in the business. It's lesbian porn for smart people.
SS: Why do you say that it's for smart people? What is lesbian porn for not-smart people?
IG: There is a lot of low-quality erotica out there. Badly written, no depth -- think pulp porn fiction. What I like about Cleis, my publisher, is that they only publish quality literature that happens to be erotic. That was my main criteria when selecting the stories in this collection. I wanted really good stories that happened to make you want to jump into bed.
SS: What type of stories will readers find in GWS?
IG: That's one thing that blew me away when I was going through the submissions: the creativity. Roller derby, scuba diving, hockey... all kinds of athletes getting it on off the field.
SS: Do you want to stick to writing erotica?
IG: I don't want to stick to anything, even writing. I'm currently working on a documentary and a mystery novel, and I launched my own publishing house this year. I will always write... but I am more than a writer. I'm a creative person and my creativity can take shape in many forms.
SS: Why did you start out with erotic fiction? Is that drawn from your life?
IG: Very much so. It just kind of happened. As a person, I explore all facets of sexuality, and that includes fetish and BDSM, as well as gender exploration.
SS: Would you define yourself as a lesbian?
IG: Not at all. I'm queer.
SS: Is that something that permeates all your creative work?
IG: My queerness? It doesn't. I write about straight characters, gay men, lesbians, transgenders. I write about people. The only way my queerness affects my writing is by making it more fabulous.
"Girls Who Score" is available on Amazon and at the book release.

Are emerging markets proving to be one of the few good financial news stories following the vote for Brexit? Despite global uncertainty, emerging markets are rising and the fundamentals for a revival in performance appear to remain. So, what are the positive forces supporting emerging markets?
Recent years have been difficult for emerging markets investors. In the three-year period through May 2016, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was down 14.72% on an annualised basis as the MSCI World Index gained 19.06%. From 1 June to mid-August, however, emerging markets have surged 12.44%. Since the start of the year there has been growing evidence that emerging markets are recovering and may even outperform the developed world.
The strength of the US dollar is implicit in the fortunes of emerging market economies, which have significant dollar-denominated debts and whose own currencies are vulnerable to devaluation. The weakening of sterling and the euro in the wake of the Brexit vote has strengthened the dollar's safe-haven status in the short term, but the longer term signs suggest that its value may be peaking. Subdued inflation figures and continuing global uncertainty have stymied the US Federal Reserve's intention to increase interest rates. Despite the US jobs report for June beating expectations, few analysts predict a rate rise before the presidential election in November.
Brexit remains a threat to emerging markets performance – should there be further weakening of the pound and euro, the resulting flight to quality would naturally benefit the dollar. However, in a situation where sentiment remains cautious but does not descend into alarm, the dollar may lose traction.
The valuations of most emerging market currencies already reflect a strong US dollar and are, if anything, undervalued. Historically, any gains by emerging markets through global exports have driven the Global Emerging Market Real Effective Exchange Rate (GEM REER) higher. However, since February 2011, a 1.3% decline in export market share has seen a disproportionate 12% depreciation in the GEM REER – based on the long-run historical association, this should have delivered a more modest 6% fall.
In the first half of 2016, emerging market currencies began to recover from the turbulence caused by China's devaluation of the renminbi and the US Federal Reserve's rate rise. Brexit is propelling this trend further. However, a slide in the value of the renminbi remains a significant risk, and better communication with the markets from Chinese policy makers is needed to provide reassurance that any depreciation will not be sudden and extensive.
Corporate margins and profitability
Return on equity across the emerging markets universe fell from nearly 17% in 2008 to 10.5% in 2015. Poor investment and over-leveraging caused financial stress, which has taken a long time to work its way through the banking system. Meanwhile, over-zealous stimulus of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), such as Brazil's Petrobras, has hindered more than helped in the long term.
China appears to have at least partly learned its lesson and looks likely to proceed with reforms targeting supply-side growth and an overhaul of SOEs. Latin America, meanwhile, outperformed in Q2, led by Peru, which was boosted by the confirmation of its position in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the election of former economist Pedro Pablo Kuczynski as president. Increasingly, the region is swinging to the political centre-right, with a renewed focus on fiscal discipline – as demonstrated by the policies of leaders Mauricio Macri in Argentina and Michel Temer in Brazil.
The commodity sector rallied in the first half of 2016, with the 29 primary commodities traded on the US and UK exchanges rising 12.67% over the six months to the end of June. Despite this, commodities are arguably the one element of the recent underperformance of emerging markets which continues to present a problem: an underlying increase in demand, which would validate a resurgence, is conspicuous by its absence. In fact, commodity markets remain oversupplied. Certain countries, Russia and Brazil being key examples, remain over-reliant on commodity-related exports and vulnerable to continuing low prices.
Microeconomic factors
There are a number of microeconomic factors which point to a positive outlook for emerging markets. Earnings momentum is still generally negative, but getting much less so, with positive momentum already apparent in Russia, Egypt, Hungary, Brazil and Korea. On a price/ earnings-to-growth ratio basis Latin America stands out, followed by Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and India.
Earnings breadth is rising, especially in Mexico, Korea, Turkey and Brazil. Meanwhile, earnings per share are increasing relative to developed markets and distributions are also rising – a good sign for long-term investment as dividend-paying companies tend to have stronger corporate governance in place and are well-placed to withstand further volatility.
Other encouraging indicators include the improvement in the current accounts, as a percentage of GDP, of emerging markets countries. Meanwhile, growth surprises are flat as this measure for developed markets is collapsing. Return on equity is up, albeit with some way to go, especially since leverage has risen.
Despite the potential for a turnaround in corporate profitability, the vast majority of emerging markets are trading cheaply relative to history and developed markets. Across the universe, the price/book valuations for all countries except Thailand and the Philippines are at or close to the bottom of their respective ranges for the last decade.
In countries such as China, where increasing consumption and reforms are helping to rebalance the economy, and Argentina, which aims to attract more investment and enforce fiscal discipline, stocks are cheap.
Indian summer?
India posted solid gains in Q2 on the back of a bountiful monsoon season, and is worth singling out for a particularly sunny financial forecast over the next five years after recently overtaking China as the world's fastest-growing economy. Favourable demographics are supported by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's economic reforms, such as the recently approved national goods and services tax, which are focused on sustainable long-term growth, while growing consumption rather than a reliance on commodity exports (India is a net importer of oil) is driving stable growth. This should help insulate the country from global volatility.
There is a strong argument that the poor macro environment has already been discounted from emerging market valuations. Perhaps counterintuitively, the effect of post-Brexit volatility on developed markets increases the appeal of emerging markets as a source of stronger returns with relatively low risks. This is particularly evident in those territories such as India and Latin America, where reform momentum bodes well for the future.

The Chatham County grand jury on Wednesday declined to indict a 17-year-old Beach High School student in a Sept. 17 mishap in which two girls who were pedestrians were injured.
Grand jurors failed to find sufficient evidence to send a charge of failure to maintain lane against Desiree Khristina Adams to Superior Court.
The grand jury also declined to indict Adams and her mother, Khristi Monique Chisolm, on two charges of serious injury to a pedestrian in the same incident.
In addition, they declined to indict Chisolm on a charge of interference with a driver while she was a passenger in the car driven by her daughter.
Savannah-Chatham police said Adams was with her mother and driving with a learner's permit in a 2008 Kia Optima when she accidentally accelerated out of a parking lot and over-steered onto Hopkins Street to try to avoid hitting an oak tree.
Brianna Quarterman and Aaliyah Washington, both 9-year-old students at Hodge Elementary School, were walking on Hopkins at West 47th streets when they were struck, police said.
Police said the driver struck the girls, jumped a curb and continued across a front lawn before hitting a car in the parking lot.
Both children were injured but survived.

Hasbro also hinted to me a confirmation of this when I spoke with their team leader on Saturday. Though, during the Q & A they avoided the question entirely.
Buuuut, in private at the booth they sure did a LOT of hinting that the Tonnkia Twins may have something to do with the upcoming Distillery and U-Shaped bar pieces...
Sandtroopers.com claims to have an actual letter from Chrisine Hewitt, the lady that played on of the sisters and who was at C3, saying she got word from Hasbro that her figure will be made. I guess that is what they are saying?
By the way. Not sure where this would actuall go? OTC or ROTS?

I asked the actress that was signing autographs what the deal was with the rights and all that stuff.She said that it was never true for her, but that the OTHER actress was witholding rights to the likeness. She also said that she'd gone to the Hasbro guys the day before to let them know that they had permission to make the figure in her likeness. She implied that they all but told her that they were going to go ahead and try to make ONE figure - then everyone could buy two.
Is there an echo in here, Rob?!

Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? If you complete the vocational nurse program, for example, there are a variety of specializations that may appeal to you, such as medical assisting or occupational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for a class list, as well as course registration dates. Due to advances in medical systems, there is a growing skill-shortage of graduates from vocational nurse programs, and nursing professionals in general.
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) designation is the first step in becoming a nurse. After Becoming a CNA, you will assist in caring for patients by monitoring vital statistics, bathing, feeding and maintaining personal hygiene. Most CNA programs can be completed within a few months, allowing you to begin working. As the public ages, nursing care has become a major source of employment for new technical program graduates.
The next step in a nursing career is to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). This is a one year long program, in which you'll work under an RN, and be assigned advanced care work. Practice requirements for LPNs vary from state to state, but basic duties include passing meds, wound care, and administering feeding tubes. 1-year nursing certificate programs train students to pass the licensing test, in order to become an LPN or LVN. It is common for 90% or more of the class to find nursing jobs within 6 months. You don't have to become a registered nurse to make good money, as a licensed practical nurse with several years of work experience can earn well over $40,000 a year.

Practical Advice for SOA Implementers
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
In his new blog post, "Advice To Organisations Embarking On SOA Today", Ganesh Prasad gives an advice, based on his several years of experience, on how to approach a major SOA initiative:
... don't let the lack of grandeur in this approach worry you. Complexity impresses the novice, but results are what ultimately impress all.
Ganesh's approach covers the following major points:
- Keep your eye on the goal. SOA is not about integration or introducing a new technology that will simplify connecting the existing systems. It is about:
...simplifying the components of your enterprise and making them easy to understand and connect to... So keep simplicity at the back of your mind all the time, and don't confuse it with expediency, which is the path of least resistance. Simplification could take some effort.
- Understand data. Service interoperability requires "semantic" data model for their interaction. Ganesh points out that "the" canonical data model is typically too high-level and abstract for the practical use. Instead, he suggests splitting enterprise data into several logical domains and defining dictionaries for these domains.
All services exposed out of these logical domains should use these definitions and it is the responsibility of service consumers from other domains to understand them. Processes that combine services crossing such domains should perform their own mapping between similar data elements. This is not as bad as it sounds because only a subset of data elements managed by a domain is exposed through its service interface.... Don't look to [build] a single canonical data model. That's a wild goose chase, so don't even start.
- Choose the right middleware. In Ganesh's opinion, in the majority of cases, HTTP is the most appropriate middleware for SOA implementations. He suggests avoiding usage of message queues unless it is absolutely required and points out that an HTTP-based communication pattern backed up by databases typically provides a simpler solution.
HTTP is quite a universal protocol to use as the logical infrastructural element for your SOA.ESBs, Service Directories and other "governance" components are often only required to manage the complexity that they themselves introduce. It's amazing what you can achieve with a farm of simple web servers and a database, and still keep things simple and understandable.
- Choose the right service implementation approach. Ganesh considers SOAP-based Web Services to be, for the most part, "vendor-provided" propaganda and recommends to avoid it as much as possible. He suggests using REST instead :
REST is in fact a valid way to do SOA and can usually help to deliver solutions at much lower cost and complexity. The hard part about doing REST is finding good people who can think that way.
- Choose the right Data Contract definition. When it comes to a formal definition of domain models, Ganesh suggests that a "standard" XML approach is heavyweight and cumbersome. He instead suggests taking a closer look at JSON schema proposal
Already, there are JSON Schema libraries in many high-level languages such as Java. It should be possible to define data contracts with as much rigor as with XML, but at a much lower level of complexity... instead of going down the XML rabbit-hole, start with JSON anyway, and incorporate JSON Schema as it matures. You will find this works especially well in combination with REST.
- Solve the SOA simplicity Paradox. Although the main driving factor behind SOA is simplification of the enterprise architecture, the reality of the typical SOA implementation, according to Ganesh, involves making integration complex through usage of heavyweight approaches and then introducing tools to manage this complexity.
Of course, if you're politically inclined, you will bask in the prestige of a hefty budget and a large team, and can declare victory anyway on the basis of the number of services and processes you have delivered. But if you want to be really successful at delivering SOA (i.e., making your business more agile and able to operate on a sustainably lower cost basis) while keeping your burn rate low along that journey, you would do well to look at boring, unimpressive and even anticlimactic approaches and technologies such as the ones I've listed above. Give the big vendors a wide berth. You don't need to buy technology (beyond the web servers and databases you already have). You certainly don't need to buy complex technology, which is what the vendors all want to sell you.
Prasad's post addresses many issues which are encountered during a typical SOA implementation. It also appears to dismiss existing, oft-used solutions to the problems encountered in favour of newer approaches. This leads to a question: when is it better to understand and improve upon an existing solution, and when is it better to dismiss the existing solution and try a new approach? Is newer always better?

Re: Rest vs SOAP
Jean-Jacques Dubray
could you remind me again what does REST bring for X-to-server communication where X is not a browser? I must be missing something. Could you explain what "better" means, how about "simple"? Let's take real scenario where a "service" (are there "services" in REST?) changes here and there every 6 to 12 months? What will change in the future? Do you really think we'll never need contracts? validation? Asynchrony? Bi-directional interfaces? Assemblies?
What a waste.
Re: Rest vs SOAP
Kevin Grainer
HTML 5 is supposed to handle communication threads now so if your primary client is the browser then you can mimic some of the soap MEPs there. I find that XML is very bloated for communication where JSON or google's rpc format is much more optimized in terms of space requirements. Using JSON or another similar format seems to be the standard from the web browser side . I agree that for system to system communication behind a company firewall that soap is not broken and is probably the best choice in the current market.

5 Amazing Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings
Although it's been more than 50 years since the death of Frank Lloyd Wright, the work of America's preeminent architect has never really gone out of style. Wright's environmentally harmonious "organic architecture" ranges from the all-American Prairie style to the sculptural heft of the Guggenheim Museum. Some 300 of his buildings survive today, and a good number are open to the public. Here are five of the architect's most iconic works, all worth a visit.
1. Fallingwater, Mill Run, Pennsylvania
Built in the mountains of Pennsylvania in the 1930s as the retreat for a family of Pittsburgh department store owners, Fallingwater is a voluptuous expression of Wright's organic architecture. It melds the man-made with the natural in an expansive indoor/outdoor flow, with cantilevered terraces built out over a gushing waterfall. Tours are offered from March through December.
2. The Guggenheim Museum, New York, New York
There's nothing on New York City's Fifth Avenue like the Guggenheim — a spiral of swirling, creamy concrete. Wright worked on the museum for 16 years but died just before it was completed. A geometric masterpiece, it's designed so that you can zip up in an elevator and view the collection from the top down, leisurely descending a ramp that resembles a chambered nautilus. The museum's permanent collection of modern art and its changing exhibitions are world-renowned.
3. Taliesin West, Scottsdale, Arizona
Set in the Sonoran Desert near Scottsdale, this was Wright's winter home. Today the site houses the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Its form is an extension of the desert landscape — what Wright referred to as "the long, low lines of colorful, windswept terrain." He was inspired by the patterns of rattlesnakes, chameleons and cacti in much of the design and used desert rocks to shape the walls. Tours are offered daily between 9 and 4.
4. Robie House, Chicago, Illinois
Built in 1910 for a young Chicago businessman, Frederick C. Robie, Robie House is a prime example of Wright's Prairie style, a poem to the low-slung horizontality of the American prairie. Located on the University of Chicago campus, the residence features Wright's distinctive art-glass windows. Wright also designed the house's furniture, light fixtures, tapestries and rugs. Tours are available Thursday through Monday.
5. Hollyhock House, Los Angeles, California
The prairie comes to California in this landmark house, built for an oil heiress and completed in 1923 in a style that Wright called "California Romanza." Constructed of reinforced concrete, it has a Mayan-style facade with geometrical motifs of hollyhocks throughout. It celebrates the California indoor/outdoor lifestyle with rooms that are visually — and sometimes literally — connected to outside spaces at every turn. It's also set on a hill with sensational views of Los Angeles. The house is currently closed for restoration, but is expected to reopen.
