Playhouse's 'WoW' gets worldly
Site-specific festival to range from beach to beer, with international flair
"The fact of the matter is," Scheib says, "everyone should've really just gone to bed."
"Our Town": Tom Dugdale, a 2010 graduate of UCSD's MFA program in theater, conceived and is directing this audience-involving retelling of the Thornton Wilder classic. Dugdale says he envisions the actors grilling burgers and hot dogs and serving playgoers as they arrive for the show, which will take place alongside the Mandell Weiss Forum theater.
As with "Platonov," video cameras will be involved. Dugdale says part of his focus for his show is on the question of whether modern tech such as cell-phone cameras and social media help us savor everyday experience (the fleeting nature of life is a key concern of Wilder's play), or actually serve to take us out of the moment.
Basil Twist: The puppeteer's so-far unnamed project is his fifth collaboration with the Playhouse. And while staging a show in the ocean sounds daunting, it's actually not such a departure from some of Twist's past work. One of his signature creations is "Symphonie Fantastique," an aquatic show (complete with puppeteers in wetsuits) that takes place inside a massive water tank.
Part of the idea behind the new piece is that it'll likely draw in unsuspecting (and presumably surprised) passers-by as well as those who come specifically to see it. So if you're at the beach that day, you just might stumble upon it.
Or, as Twist points out: "It (might) stumble upon you."
100% San Diego: Ashley says this piece is driven by an "intense demographic" approach. Created by the German theater group Rimini Protokoll, it will hyper-distill San Diego County's population makeup (based on census data) down to 100 representative citizens to create a "living, breathing portrait of San Diego."
We Built This City: The Australian outfit Polyglot - along with audiences - will construct (literally) this work, a mini-metropolis made from thousands of cardboard boxes. The whole thing will go up in one day. Then comes the fun part: trampling it back to rubble. (You don't get to do that to a play's set very often.)
Kamchatka: Ashley worked to bring in this company after seeing their work at a festival in their home country of Spain. (Site-specific work is much more prevalent in Europe.) The troupe's improv-based show will involve eight lost characters, each with a suitcase and a souvenir. The piece is pitched as blurring borders between make-believe and life.
MCASD and UCSD: Also at the festival site, the museum will present works by the visual and performance artists James Luna (with a commissioned multimedia show), Kate Gilmore and Jacolby Satterwhite. And UCSD theater and dance students will collaborate with the university's music and visual-arts departments on further works to be announced.
Tickets to the WoW Festival will go on sale this spring. More details: (858) 550-1010 or lajollaplayhouse.org.

Jazz legend Arturo Sandoval and defying Cuba's dictatorship
Daniel Allott at Investors Business Daily:
Arturo Sandoval Defied Castro To Become A Jazz Legend
Growing up in Cuba, Arturo Sandoval fell in love with jazz.
But he had two problems:
1. He was dirt poor and couldn't afford music lessons.
2. The communist regime wouldn't let Cubans listen to jazz, let alone perform it. Fidel Castro's henchmen considered jazz "the music of the enemy."
So Sandoval improvised, inventing his own genre of music that pleased the authorities and wowed audiences worldwide.
It also bought him time until he escaped Cuba and got the chance to perform the music he loves.
Since leaving Cuba, Sandoval has won eight Grammys (another was awarded while he was living in Cuba), an Emmy and six Billboard Music Awards.
High NoteThe White House has announced that later this year Sandoval will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, his adopted home country's highest civilian honor.
Born outside Havana in 1949, Sandoval grew up with his family in a dirt-floor house.
"We were literally dirt poor," he once told a reporter. "But it was good. It makes me appreciate everything in my life."
Life got harder in 1959 when Fidel Castro seized power and turned Cuba communist.
"My father was a mechanic and they confiscated his garage," Sandoval, 63, told IBD. "And then, like everybody else, he started working for the government for a miserable little salary. I had to leave school when I was in fifth grade to work because we were hungry at home. That was horrible."
Music was Sandoval's salvation. At age 13 he discovered the trumpet. He was so talented, he was invited to study classical trumpet at the Cuban National School of Arts and soon earned a spot on the Cuban National All-Star band.
At 22 he started three years of obligatory Cuban army service: "cleaning cannons and marching."

AKRON, Ohio — At least one juror who helped put Douglas Prade behind bars, calls the judge's ruling a miscarriage of justice.
"I'm just disappointed that you can convict a man for murder and then he just gets out," said Anne Lapuh.
Lapuh was juror number 11 on the jury that convicted Douglas Prade, who is now 66, in 1998. She says although most of the evidence against him was circumstantial, there was enough evidence to find him guilty of killing his ex-wife, Dr. Margo Prade in the parking lot of her office in 1997.
"There was the bite mark. There was the fact that he had showered and come back to the scene. He was clean, and we said who else would have done it? This person got in her car and killed her," Lapuh said.
Lapuh says she felt that the bite mark on Dr. Prade's arm was the prosecution's strongest piece of evidence. But newly tested DNA from her lab coat is what caused Judge Judith Hunter to throw out the jury's conviction.
"You can put 12 people on a jury and it's like what we said didn't matter," she said.
Lapuh says the jury also came to the conclusion that the bite mark was from Prade.
"When they put those bottom teeth into that bite mark, they were like a puzzle. I mean he had really uneven teeth and they just fit right in there like a puzzle. There was no doubt that those were his teeth," said Lapuh.
Prosecutors said at trial, there was only a lower bite impression on Dr. Prade's arm.
Lapuh feels it was no coincidence that Douglas Prade has dentures for top teeth.
"I still feel that he killed her and if he didn't, he knows who did," she said.
"We feel it is a misapplication of the law. The judge had defined that no juror would have found him guilty based upon the evidence presented and we find that's not proper. We find that's unrealistic. We filed our notice of appeal with the Ninth District Court of Appeals," said assistant Summit County prosecutor Brad Gessner.
Lapuh says some jurors tried to be sympathetic towards Prade for the sake of his two daughters, now in their 20s, but says the evidence was overwhelming.
"We were very, very careful. If we convicted him, I mean, we probably gave him the most leeway because we really care. We didn't go in there and rush through everything. We really, really cared," she said.
Prosecutors believe other compelling evidence presented at trial, included 400 of his wife's phone calls that Prade secretly recorded. He was convicted of wiretapping as well.
Lapuh says she was also influenced by a piece of paper that had the amount of Dr. Prade's life insurance policy, minus Prade's outstanding expenses. Prosecutors contend he wrote it out before Margo Prade's death.

Ala Kart by AMT?

Many suggested the older version of the kit mixed w/ some parts of the new version would yield an acceptable rendition.

Posted 16 August 2012 - 12:36 AM
I've actually measured a real 1:1 Dodge Red Ram engine and '39 Ford 3-speed gearbox (and you know, divided by 25?) as represented in the kits, and the first version is pretty close, the newer version is a joke.....it's so badly underscale. I have both versions on the shelf, multiple articles from 1958 onwards about the car, my own reference numbers and photos of a real Red Ram and gearbox and have spent (wasted?) considerable time contrasting / comparing the two. Pretty amazing that in this day of digitizing everything and the ability to have a computer do the scaling and design most of the tooling, that the dimensions could be so far off, but it is, period. The decals are not great in the newer one either, but aftermarket was available.
I've also been involved in several online arguments about the correct scaling of the newer-release engine, all of them apparently with folks who have never actually measured the engine and scaled it themselves. Measure it, divide by 25, and the numbers don't lie. The popular argument is that the Red Ram is the "small" hemi, and that therefor the tiny motor in the newer kit is correct. Uh huh. A real Red Ram is almost exactly the same width across the heads as the bigger early hemis, but a bit shorter in overall length.....which is why Barris used it....to fit in the engine bay lengthwise. The original issue engine WILL fit in the later issue car, by the way.
All that said, either kit builds up into a good looking model, and the Red Ram and 3-speed in the early kit are cool swaps in anything, though the Hilborn FI detail is a little light. The newer kit has some nice parts for bashing, most notably probably the best "dropped and filled" front axle available for building a period rod.

To road-racing aficionados, Le Mans is a mystical place. Its heritagedates back to 1923, when the Automobile Club of the Sarthe held itsfirst race. Each year over 400,000 people pack themselves into thefamous 8.48-mile circuit. What makes Le Mans so fascinating to race fansis its unpredictability. Competitors may face mechanical problems, heat,rain, fog, and cold--all in one 24-hour period. To win or even finish,racers must run flat-out, be trouble-free, and minimize pit visits.
This year, a record heat wave was predicted to hit Circuit de la Sarthe,with ambient temperatures expected to climb into the low 90s. This meanttemperatures inside the cockpits of the front-engined GT-1 cars weregoing to reach at least 165 degrees--hot enough to kill food-bornebacteria. After an exceptionally hot race in Texas in 2000, in whichcockpit temps soared to a blistering 185 degrees, Corvette Racingdeveloped an air-conditioned driver-support system. A smallair-conditioning unit inside the car pumps cool air into the driver'shelmet, mouth, and feet. Taking care of its drivers is one reasonCorvette Racing is so successful.
Another is Doug Fehan, the team's manager and chief strategist. Doug hada plan to win the race; he called it "The 3:55 Rule." If the Corvettescould average 3 minutes and 55 seconds per lap, Fehan reasoned, it wouldreduce stress on the cars and drivers, and keep the rule-makers happy.The rule-makers in question were led by ACO Race Director DanielPoissenot, who told GT-1 competitors they would be required to run 3:55minimum lap times. "If your car consistently runs under that time," saidPoissenot, "it will be penalized with extra weight in 2006." Dougdecided to heed Daniel's warning. Instead of pushing for hot lap times,he looked for lost seconds during pit stops. Doug felt confident thatshort pit stops and a 3:55 pace would bring the Corvettes victory.
His plan began to unfold during qualifying, where the two entered C6.Rsplayed an extended game of cat-and-mouse with a pair of Ford-backed,Prodrive-prepared Aston Martin DBR9s. (For those of you who don't followthe news out of Detroit, Aston Martin is wholly owned by Ford, maker ofthe Taurus and other fine products.) At the end of the day, the Astonshad qualified One-Two in the GT-1 category, with both cars besting the3:49.982-second lap record set last year by the Corvette C5-R. OliverGavin was the fastest C6.R driver, qualifying Third in GT-1 in the No.64 car, while the No. 63 Ron Fellows/Johnny O'Connell/Max Papis entryqualified Fifth in class. Perhaps sensing what was ahead, Aston driverTomas Enge said, "That was just practice. It's the race that counts."Doug Fehan just smiled.
As predicted, race day was clear and hot when the French tricolor fellfor the 4 p.m. start. During the first hour, the No. 64 Corvette keptswapping the GT-1 lead with the Astons. The cars were running 12th,13th, and 14th overall at this point (the No. 63 Corvette was 18th), buta series of stop-and-go penalties for knocking down cornering conespushed the No. 59 Aston Martin down in the order.
During the second hour, the No. 64 C6.R experienced two left-rear tirefailures, bringing the No. 63 C6.R into Second place in GT-1.Lightning-quick pit stops, meanwhile, kept the No. 64 in contention.More important, both Corvettes were still within striking distance ofthe leading No. 58 Aston.
As darkness fell, this intense inter-brand battle continued. The cars'bright lights and the thunder of their engines penetrated the darknessand the quiet of the night. At 6 a.m., the No. 58 Aston and the No. 64Corvette were on the same lap, still swapping the GT-1 lead. The No. 59Aston had made up the laps it lost to the earlier penalties and washounding the No. 63 Corvette. By the 17-hour mark, the three top GT-1competitors were within 4.5 seconds of each other in the blistering90-degree heat.
Suddenly, the leading No. 58 Aston roared into the pits. An off-courseexcursion had broken the front undertray splitter. Had the misstep beenthe result of heat-induced driver fatigue? While the damage was beingrepaired, the No. 64 Corvette took the GT-1 lead. Shortly thereafter,the No. 59 Aston wobbled into the pits with a blown left-rear tire. TheCorvettes were now First and Second in GT-1, and Fehan's strategy seemedto be working. Aston Martin's David Brabham sat in the pits with an icepack on his head and an exhausted look on his face. It was clear thatthe heat in the aluminum coupe was becoming unbearable. Meanwhile, DougFehan was keeping his cool by eating ice cream.

76ers valiantly, foolishly, charmingly believe they can make the playoffs
Mar 29, 2013, 9:10 AM EDT
John Hollinger's NBA Playoff Odds run a simulation 5,000 times to predict the final standings of the NBA season. In two or fewer of those simulations, the Philadelphia 76ers make the playoffs.
Philadelphia – six games back with 11 games remaining – is so unlikely to make the playoffs, its odds appears as 0.0 percent, though that number might be rounded. The East's top seven teams each show up as 100.0 percent, and No. 8 Milwaukee is 99.9 percent. But even if the Bucks (35-36) somehow blows this, the 76ers (28-43) aren't a lock to replace them. The Raptors (26-45) and Wizards (26-45) aren't officially eliminated, though both also show up as 0.0 percent.
The 76ers, obviously drunk on their win over Milwaukee on Wednesday, are having none of that logic, though. Doug Collins, via John Finger of CSNPhilly.com:
"We're not done yet. We're not quitting. We're going to keep playing," Collins said. "I never quit before I got to the finish line and I'm not going to start that now. We don't have that personality. This city and this organization means too much to me and to our players to do that. We have young guys and we're trying to build a nucleus here of young players."
"I play for pride every game from game one to game 82," said Damien Wilkins, who led the Sixers with 18 points, including the game-sealing steal and dunk with 41.7 seconds left. "For me every game means the same. I try to take advantage of every opportunity given."
Spencer Haws:
"Until the math says we're out of it, we're going to keep fighting for it," Hawes said. "You're always being watched and you're always being judged. This season hasn't gone the way we would have liked, but there's still some left and we have a bright future ahead."
This is exactly the attitude the 76ers should take. They've fought hard for 71 games. Why stop now?
I mean, they're not going to make the playoffs, but there's something admirable about their relentlessness.
- mustbechris - Mar 29, 2013 at 9:36 AM
*This is exactly the attitude they should take…if they had actually fought hard for the first 71 games. Instead they quit on their coach. And that's not even to mention that slug Andrew Bynum. Really terrible organization from top to bottom. The season ticket holders who bought season tickets because the Sixers duped them into believing they'd see Andrew Bynum play this year deserve a refund. ESPECIALLY since Bynum's contract is being covered by insurance. The Sixers just get to pocket that money. What a ponzi scheme.

My thoughts, exactly.
- 1972wasalongtimeago - Mar 29, 2013 at 11:24 AM
If the Sixers make the playoffs, the Heat get their 1st round pick. If not, we go through this again next year. It would be nice to have that chip (15th or 16th pick) come draft night; whether it's to pick a player, or trade it for future, higher picks.
Go Sixers!!!
- divan22 - Mar 29, 2013 at 2:19 PM
They're 7 games back, not 6.
- philadelphiafan - Mar 30, 2013 at 6:59 PM
Who cares. No matter who gets the 8th seed they're just going to get rolled by Miami in 4 games. I'd rather the Sixers keep their first round pick anyway.

Colin Blakemore, professor of physiology at the University of Oxford
THE most intriguing finding of this survey is the fact that a very modest statement about the possible benefits of animal research persuades a huge fraction of the British public to change their minds, converting 24 per cent support for animal experimentation into a slim majority in favour. Moreover, after just two further sentences, stating that the particular research is on mice, will not cause suffering, and is aimed at developing or safety-testing a drug to treat leukaemia, an astounding 83 per cent approve. That swing from 24 per cent to 83 per cent is a measure of both the willingness of the British public to respond to justification for animal research and the poverty of their present knowledge of the arguments.
In the US, poll after poll has shown a majority in favour of animal experimentation, even without statements ...

Firework Stands Ready For Business
Posted: June 18, 2012 at 5:22 a.m.
Kaleidoscopic tents and assertive posters of Uncle Sam are appearing around the area, enticing both children and adults with a recreation they can enjoy only twice a year.
Fireworks Safety Tips
Alcohol and fireworks don't mix. Have a "designated shooter" to light all fireworks.
Make sure the area is clear of all foliage and overhanging tree branches.
Keep a 50-foot clearance from building, vehicles and spectators.
Keep an extinguisher or water hose nearby.
Don't wear open-toe shoes or loose clothing.
Parents should supervise children at all times.
Fireworks should be lit from a flat surface.
Read the directions on each firework.
Plan ahead and pay attention.

Nevsky Prospekt
Almost three miles (five km) long, Nevsky Prospekt is one of the best-known streets in Russia and is the main thoroughfare of St Petersburg, starting at the Admiralty whose gilded spire is a famous city landmark, to the Moscow Railway Station and then to the Alexandr Nevsky Monastery where some of the country's most celebrated artistic figures are buried. It has been the hub of the city for centuries, cutting through the most historical part, and home to the most important sights in the city.
Intersected by rivers and canals, the most beautiful part of the avenue surrounds the Griboedova Canal. Here the impressive colonnade of the grand Kazan Cathedral catches the eye, curving around a small grassy square, and opposite the view along the canal towards the multi-coloured onion domes of the Church of Our Saviour on the Spilled Blood (officially called the Resurrection of Christ Church) is breathtaking.
Modelled on St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow and adorned with exquisite mosaic panels the church is one of St Petersburg's most striking landmarks, built on the site of the assassination of Emperor Alexander II in 1881. As well as many churches the street boasts St Petersburg's finest shops and restaurants, old manors and impressive buildings, and a beautiful mixture of architectural styles from the different periods of its history.

Error in calculation of A (missing

the Richard Ivey School of Business, University of Western Ontario
The pictures below show how rates will be distributed in the very long-run, i.e. their probability distribution after the effect of the initial spot rate r at t=0 has vanished. Both distributions have a mean of b (the long-term equilibrium). Yet under Vasicek they are normally distributed and so there is a probability for them being negative. For the CIR model this density function has the property of a Gamma distribution, not allowing for negative interest rates.
Model parameters for above distributions: a = 0.15, b = 6%, s =0.02 (Vasicek)/0.05(CIR)

Rate Trinomial Tree - Hull & White Method »download
This model presents the general tree-building procedure as proposed by Hull and White for a more general group of one-factor models.
It handles spot interest rate processes that follow of the following general form:
|With constants a (pullback factor of mean reversion process) and s the volatility parameter of Wiener process dz
|for f(r) = r and f(r) = ln(r)
|At time t the process reverts to a level q(t)/a. q(t) is set to fit the current term structure of interest.
It is a property of these models that they can be fitted to any term structure of interest.
|Normal Model
|Lognormal Model
Below is a screenshot of the Excel/VBA model. Note the threshold factor 0.184 which was proposed by Hull & White to avoid unnecessary sampling of unlikely interest rate scenarios. It basically determines the maximum number of interest rate steps in the grid. Obviously the model as it stands now has limited practical use but it can now easily be extended to price interest rate sensitive instruments like bonds and interest rate options. This is done by rolling the payoff of the instrument back trough the tree, discounting at the interest rates determined at each node. To understand the basic idea, refer to Cox, Ross & Rubinstein Binomial Tree in this website for an example of equity option valuation in a binomial tree.

Motorola V176 Cellular flip-phone on the Net10 network. Perfect starter phone for a youngster, rugged and inexpensive so if he/she bangs it up or loses it, so what?
If you are not familiar with Net10,it is the perfect service for a youngster. It is a prepaid service and there is NEVER a monthly bill with all those extra lousy charges that Cellular companies love to impose. It is a flat ten cents per minute nationwide with no roaming, long distance or overage charges. Text messages of any length are a half minute or five cents charge.
The phone comes with an AC charger, a mobile (auto) charger, the phone user manual on CD and a pin number which gives 300 minutes and sixty days of service. As long as you renew before the days and minutes expire, all remaining days and minutes roll over and prepaid Net10 cards are for sale almost everywhere. Office Depot, CVS, Safeway, Target and many, many other retail outlets carry them and on the internet I have found them frequently at a 7% discount. If you have a child and want a rugged and inexpensive cell phone to start them off with, this is the ideal way to go.
I used this as my personal phone for several years and am only selling it because I now have a new phone which is also on Net10!
Phone, manual, two chargers and 300 minutes/60 days of service for $37.95 including shipping. The 300 minutes is worth $30 alone and with the shipping it's like getting the phone for free.

There is nothing that compares to having a little life inside of you, wiggling and kicking, reminding you that you're world is about to change. Michelle looked so beautiful at her session (despite having the stomach flu two days earlier!), little Karson made his debut just over a month ago and his sweet parents couldn't be happier!

Absolutely beautiful!

I need some help with making a slideDown / slideUp drop-down navigation menu…
What I have so far is here: http://rptest.idkcreative.com/
I am trying to make the drop-down in the navigation silde down on mouseover/mouseenter and slide back up on mouseout/mouseleave, or the hover event, but to knowledge the hover event isn't compatible in all browsers…
The 'Portfolio' link is all I need it for right now. The drop-down is functional, but…
I have tried this a few different ways and it is not working at all… The closest I got it would slide down, but stayed in a constant loop of sliding up and down once I stopped hovering over the 'Portfolio' link.
Hi, take a look at this:
I think this is exactly what you're looking for.
Is there a way to control the speed, delay, and animation effect?
Have you checked the documentation?
Jquery API
Yeah, with that code you only need to look at the documentation to easily work those things out.
I can't find anything on easing on there…
Look under animate.
You will need the JQuery UI plug-in to add extra options
Question: Do these codepen things stay active indefinitely, or if I want the code from one I should copy it asap?
I clean mine out every so often.
here I tried easing jQuery plugin for simple menu http://codepen.io/Kuzyo/pen/xuFgC
>I clean mine out every so often.
'Tis cool, just created an account and forked the above. Cheers.
<p>Ok, I believe that I did just about the same thing as Kuzyo, but it's not working…

HEADS UP: Snailking - "Samsara" ...
There is also a lot of 70's progressive rock elements and psychedelia is present through the entire recording. Opening track 'Shelter' kicks off with a simple but effective groove and it does take its time building its momentum but once the vocals kick in, this is classic stuff. Mixing bluesy elements with heavy as heavy gets is nothing new in the sludge-metal world but there is something refreshing about the way Snailking goes about their business. 'Shelter' ends up bubbling along at a energetic pace for the rest of its duration so it ends up being a very tasty 14 minute riff-fest. The other two tracks here, 'In the Wake' and the title track follow on in a similar vein, psychedelic, jammy and well crafted.
If you like the other bands I have mentioned here in this little review then that is all you need to know really. This is psychedelic sludge-metal without any doom plodding. The band gallop at a pace that verges on frantic at times and so this three-tracker seems much shorter than what it actually is. One gripe however is the sound or lack of sound coming from the bass. Sure it is there, you can hear it but instead of supplying some extra meat to the sound, it is relegated to the background of the mix which ends up making this sound a little too thin. Sludge-metal is and should be all about volume, power and intensity but 'Samsara' seems to be lacking. Apart from that, it is all smooth sailing for this bunch of Swedish doomsters. If you want your sludge to make your neck hurt, then this is a band you must check out. They are hardly doing anything unique but with great riffage and an irresistible grooves, 'Samsara' is mostly a winner. Pity it is all so short, give us more soon guys...8/10.

Seemingly more amenable to each other than the supervisor candidates, East Hampton town board candidates hashed out their views on the town's financial crisis and conservation, during a League of Women Voters sponsored forum last Thursday at the East Hampton Firehouse and Emergency Services Building.
Republican and Independence Party candidate Theresa Quigley opened the debate providing the close to 100 residents in attendance a little background on her Northwest Woods upbringing.
"We all love East Hampton," said Quigley, an attorney with Farrell Fritz. "There is not much not to like, except for our government."
Noting the town's finances are a "train wreck," Quigley said while both parties promise to protect the environment and restore strong fiscal management of the town, the professional backgrounds of her fellow Republican candidates will "professionalize" town government.
Patti Leber, who is running on the Democratic line, said her experience with a number of local not-for-profits, including the Children's Museum of the East End (CMEE), the Montauk Playhouse, as well as her work on the Montauk School District's PTA and board of education gives her the credentials to aid the town in such tumultuous times.
"Every year we have to balance a budget and bring it to voters," she said of the school district.
Leber added another focus would be to bring "green collar" jobs, or those focused on environmental sustainability to the town.
Dominick Stanzione, who is running with the Republican, Independence and Working Families parties, and has a background in professional and financial services, noted that he was also instrumental in the creation of a town budget advisory committee.
Some of his professional experience, he added, was when he was assigned to a team of analysts working on the financial crisis in New York City in the 19070s.
"It seems very close to what is happening in East Hampton," said Stanzione.
Like Quigley, Democrat and Working Families party candidate John Whelan is a native East Hampton resident, who grew up on a farm in Northwest Woods with 11 brothers and sisters.
"It teaches you to listen to other people and respect other's opinions," said Whelan.
With a father entrenched in East Hampton Town government and a background in architecture, including a number of years as the project manager for the Ross School construction project, Whelan said he is very comfortable working in government and managing large budgets.
When asked how the town can continue to preserve land given the dwindling resources in the Community Preservation Fund (CPF), Quigley said she believes the town should aggressively conserve land, but only after it is sure it can cover debt from borrowing against anticipated revenues. Leber, Stanzione and Whelan echoed Quigley's position.
When asked should the town consider selling preserved lands or other assets, Leber noted anything preserved with CPF, by law, cannot be sold, and given the real estate market, this may not be the best time to sell other land.
"Yeah, I think we are probably going to have to sell some assets," said Stanzione. He said he would like to see 2010 dedicated to forums to figure out what residents think should be sold. Ideas he has include leasing the town-owned skating rink to a new firm and creating a new revenue source for the town.
While agreeing CPF-preserved lands cannot be sold, Whelan said he would be open to selling other parcels if it was carefully analyzed. He also said he would like to see affordable commercial spaces developed in the town and supported selling other assets as well.
While supporting continued land preservation, like Stanzione, Quigley suggested making new revenue sources out of properties already owned by the town, including the skating rink and the Montauk Playhouse.
Stanzione suggested renegotiating the contract at the scavenger waste plant, which he said costs $1.4 million annually and is only operating at 30 percent capacity. Turning it into a scavenger waste facility, he said, could give the town an additional million dollars in revenue. He said reducing the cost for commercial carters could also help boost revenues.
Whelan said he would hate to see any jobs lost, but would ask department heads to cut 10 percent from their budgets, would freeze all new projects and recommend a policy of attrition.
"There is going to have to be a paring down and a paring down of services," he said.
Leber said recommending the leaf bag program over pickup could give the town an additional $500,000 to work with. Keeping consultant work "as much in house" as possible is also a priority, as is better reporting of the town's finances "so we can all stay on top of all the numbers."

Here's our take on the classic feast, kicked up Mouse-House style. This combination of seafood and meat is a great way to go if you're planning on throwing a glamorous dinner party this New Year's season. (Plus, enter to win a 14-piece set of Cuisinart cookware!)
Crispy Fried Goat Cheese
Be still my heart. I think I would eat these every day if I could. It's definitely my new favorite munchy type thing. These h'ors d'oeuvres are really easy to throw together on the fly. The outside crust is unbelievably crunchy and flavorful. The inside cheese is warm, creamy, and really smooth. The combination makes for a killer app.
A Trio of Easy Holiday Apps
Here's a sneak peek at this week's recipes, which will feature a trio of festive holiday appetizers. The best part? You can do a lot of the cooking ahead of time.
A Holiday Open House in Salem
Halloween isn't the only time of year that Salem gets into the holiday spirit! Take a peek at some pics from Pamplemousse's recent holiday open house.
Spicy Holiday Compound Butter
This is one of those things that I make en masse and keep in the fridge for the holiday season. It's great on everything from French toast to roasted chicken. Use it to garnish a thick, char-grilled steak. Crown a steaming bowl of creamy mashed potatoes with a few slices and some minced chives.
How to Make Stuffed Artichokes
Nom, nom, nom. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you! I was too busy attacking the artichokes! These artichokes weren't always so delicious. In fact, at one point, they were actually practically attacking me. Don't let this pile of beautiful, green artichokes fool you. They may look benign, but these little guys are as sharp […]
The Angry Chef's Whiskey Glazed Roasted Turkey
How to roast a mouthwatering, bone-in whiskey glazed turkey breast. The meat is moist, juicy, and fragrant with garlic, star anise, and cinnamon.
Three-Cheese Mashed Potato Casserole
Grab a fork and put on your fat pants. This is one of our all-time favorite holiday side dishes. It never disappoints whenever we bring it to a potluck. It's easy to make, travels well, and reheats beautifully. It's also unapologetically NOT low fat. (Lovers of old-school indulgent holiday dishes, unite!)
A Perfect Thanksgiving Feast for Under $50
Here's a peek at the budget Thanksgiving feast we made, compliments of Sam's Club. We made dinner for six for under $50. Stay tuned for new recipes every day this week!
A Holiday Taste of Sam's Club

Gabriel Pilotti sentenced for shooting neighbors' dogs
Published: Oct 28 2013 05:34:03 PM EDT Updated On: Oct 28 2013 06:26:11 PM EDT
A Chester County man who was convicted of killing his neighbors' dogs has been sentenced.
Gabriel Pilotti shot and killed two Bernese mountain dogs in West Vincent Township in February, claiming he was afraid the dogs were going to attack his sheep, but police said the dogs weren't threatening Pilotti's animals.
Pilotti was convicted last month of two counts of animal cruelty. He was sentenced Monday to two years of probation, 90 days of house arrest and 200 hours of community service.

Anyone used one of these?
Now, I know this isn't quite in keeping with tradition, but I reckon this tortilla press design could be easily adapted to making pizza bases.
I reckon I could really speed things up for pizza parties.
Anyone tried it?

I made one many years ago after seeing it used in Mexico. If it were scaled up and had the proper leverage, I think it would work.
Re: Anyone used one of these?
Thanks Les.
Does the dough stick much?
I'm assuming you floor the working faces?
Re: Anyone used one of these?
I used minimal flour but the tortilla dough has way less water than my pizza dough. I may go out and play in the shop and build a press for personal sized pizza's to see if it would work. It would speed up the process. No one that has come into my home has the skills of Bruno Difabio. ;)

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced it had charged a Georgia man with insider trading, alleging he made nearly $160,000 in illicit profits after learning of non-public information concerning the 2010 merger of AirTran Holdings, Inc. ("Airtran") and Southwest Airlines Company ("Southwest"). John M. DardenIII, 73, reportedly learned of the information from a long-time friend who served on the board of directors at AirTran, subsequently making large purchases of common shares and call options within days of the merger announcement. The SEC charged Dardenwith a single violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and sought injunctive relief, disgorgement of all ill-gotten gains (with interest), civil monetary penalties, and any other appropriate relief. Darden has agreed to settle the matter by disgorging all profits with prejudgment interest and paying a civil monetary penalty equal to those profits for a total settlement of $327,707. The settlement is subject to court approval.
The Scheme
According to the SEC, Darden owned a non-operating consulting company in Atlanta, Georgia. Dardenhad a professional relationship with the unnamed AirTran board member (the "Board Member") for over 30 years, and the Board Member leased commercial office space from Darden's consulting company. Additionally, Darden and the Board Member communicated weekly by virtue of sharing an office suite with adjoining offices and a single secretary. Over the course of their relationship, Darden and the Board Member frequently exchanged confidential information, with the understanding that their discussions would be kept private and confidential.
During spring 2010, Southwest and AirTran began informal merger discussions between their respective chief executive officers. After both were receptive to the idea, AirTran's board of directors was briefed of Southwest's interest in acquiring AirTran. These discussions soon progressed to both sides entering into a confidentiality agreement, with at least one AirTran board member being briefed regularly. After several months of negotiations, AirTran's board of directors met to discuss finalized terms of the merger on September 21, 2010.
After the September 21, 2010 meeting, the Board Member communicated this information to Darden. The next day, September 22, Darden bought large amounts of AirTran common stock and call options, purchasing a total of 40,000 shares and 200 out-of-the-money call options. Darden was apparently quite confident of his purchases, as the purchases were funded solely with margin.
Not surprisingly, Darden's well-timed bets paid off. Several days after his purchases, Southwest announced it would buy AirTran, which sent AirTran common shares skyrocketing to $7.34 – a 61% increase from the prior trading day. Over the following month, Darden sold his AirTran shares and options for total realized profits of $159,160.
Decision Not To Charge Board Member Consistent With Recent Trend Of Requiring 'Personal Benefit'
An interesting take-away lies in the SEC's decision to only charge Darden, the recipient of the tip, and not the Board Member that provided the tip. In legal parlance, the relationship between the two is known as the 'tipper-tippee' relationship. Authorities focus on the personal benefit test, embodied in the landmark case Dirks v. SEC, 463 U.S. 646 (1983), which established that, in order for a tipper to be held liable, they must not only have disclosed material non-public information, but have also received some personal benefit as a result of the disclosure.
The test has been expanded to include not only direct benefits, but also intangible benefits such as reputational and business interests, as is evident in the recent highly-publicized case of Rajat Gupta. Gupta was accused of leaking confidential boardroom information about several high-profile companies including Goldman Sachs to Raj Rajaratnam, a prominent hedge-fund titan, who then made millions of dollars in profits trading off the tips. Crucially, authorities alleged that Gupta knew he was breaching his fiduciary duty to the boards that he served on.
However, the limits of the personal benefit test are not boundless, and courts have been unwilling to extend the test to situations of inadvertent tippers, as illustrated by the recent case where a senior executive made offhand comments to his barber who then traded off the tips. See SEC v. Maxwell, 341 F.Supp.2d 941 (S.D. Ohio 2004). In this situation, it appears that the unnamed Board Member not only was unaware that the tip would be used for trading purposes, but also failed to receive any personal benefit from the tip. Thus, it appears that the requirement of a personal benefit remains a factor in the SEC's prosecutorial discretion.

Arana: Good sociolinguistic conclusion despite questionable examples
Gabriel Arana recently published a defense of creaky voice at The Atlantic. He notes that recent criticism of young women's use of creaky voice, or "vocal fry", is part of a long tradition of critiquing the speaking styles of less powerful groups of people. Arana's conclusion that "normative judgments about linguistic prestige are relative, and merely reflect social attitudes" is absolutely correct and well-known to linguistic anthropologists and other scholars of language. The particular speech patterns he analyses to support his conclusion – up-talk, like, and creak – are somewhat questionable, however.
"Ordinary" language use
In "Lesbian bar talk in Shinjuku, Tokyo" Hideko Abe shows how identity positions are constructed and claimed through language use. One passage, which shows how use of the word futsuu (ordinary) includes homosexual and heterosexual subjects in the same category, bears additional analysis.
Piecemeal Comments on Language and Gender (or PCs)

I was 23 when i had my tubes done. Honestly, i am glad i did. I am 34 now and although i love my both my children as well as my nieces, i realize that the older i get the less patience i have for the whining and tantrums.
If you are trying to decide whether or not you want your tubes done then you have to ask yourself a couple questions and really think about it.
1) Why do you want to do this?
2) Do you have even the smallest thought about having another child in the future?
3) Are you doing this because you want to or because you significant other thinks its a good idea, saying that's its easier for you to do it then it is for him?
Ok, now during and after you answer these question consider your answers, do they point to doing this? If so then go for it.
Hope this helps. Have a great day!
How will a mom know if she is ready to have her tubes tied?
What are some factors moms should consider when deciding to have their tubes tied? If you've had your tubes tied, what would you share with other moms about the experience?
I was 23 when i had my tubes done. Honestly, i am glad i did. I am 34 now and although i love my both my children as well as my nieces, i realize that the older i get the less patience i have for the whining and tantrums.
I myself wanted my tubes tied after my 3rd one was born. I had already had 3 C-Sections and a Gallbladder Operation while I was pregnant with my 3rd and didn't know it. Once I had my tubes tied I felt good about it however there is always that mom who walks by you "Pregnant" and you think, but rest assured you soon forget about it. Its' something that you really want to do though.
You cant' say I "thiink", there is no thinking, you cant' change it once its done. I think to like how many children can you handle. Do you want one or more? This is something you and your partner have to talk about. If its' you doing most of the parenting and your getting overwhelmed "its' time" for you to say enough. If your worried every month, Am I pregnant? This is a stressor almost saying
your at your limit. This is something thatt you and your partner have to talk through, not your friends, family etc. especially if they want more. They are the ones' that have to go through 9mos. of pregnancy, getting up at night, money issues' if there are any now, so much to think of. Again, what are your feelings? How does your partner feel? You both have to choose what is right for both of you. Age factor, returning back to work (if you have been working) sometimes' its a good idea to make a list, separetly and write down the pros' and cons' then go over each others' pages. This should give you some idea at least a good one as to what "you want". In the end its' really up to you!
Take care and I hope you make the right decision, it sounds like you already have beautiful child(ren) It sounds to me like you have already come to somewhat of a decision, now its the talking it over and where you and your family want to go in life as well as how old do you want to be when your child(ren) are ready to leave the nest and then it will be yours' and your partners' decision on what and where you want to go, do, I think you get the picture. Good Luck!! You will make the right choice, I promise you!!
i had my tubes tied when i got pregnant with #4 & 5. yes twins. i was 25 yrs old. i knew i didn't want anymore and i dont regret it at all. 5 kids is enough for me. you need to consider if you want anymore later on when yours have grown. as for me it was the best thing for me and i wouldnt go back and change it. my boyfriend was mad that i did it because he wanted more. but all together we have 6 children and that is plenty for one person. just dont make the decision to do it cuz he wants you too or any other reason then you not wanting anymore. get on the shot and wait so you know its the right decision. and the dr wont do it if you have any doubts about getting it done. but i also started early i was barely 18 when i had my first one and 20 months later had my second. then my 3rd and my twins are only 14 months apart so i was way ready not to have anymore.
I GOT MY TUBES TIED AT THE AGE OF23 & it was the biggest mistake of my life I thought its wat I wanted ay the time cause I had 3 kids but I wish now I would have waited. Now if I want to have a child with my partner it will cost 20k 4 invitro.I recommend birth control not tubial ligation.
I was 21 same situation as you 3rd child. Worse decision I ever made.
I would ask myself this, "Can you picture yourself rasing and taking care of another child". For me the answer is no so I am done, one and done has been my philosphy since the begining,my son is 10 years old. I only wanted one child. I am 32 and wanted my tubes burned at 26 my doctor said you are too young. 6 years later I feel the same way. I take the depo-prevara shot & it actually has a higher sucess rate over having your tubes tied. That is why is my birth control choice- THE MOST EFFECTIVE.
I just turned 23 and due anyday with my third child and everyone is wanting me to get my tubes tide even my husband and im having thoughts aboit it cause I want one later down the rd like a long while but my husband dont he didnt want to have 3 but it happened I need help idk wat to do can anyone help
I had always known I did not want more than two dads for any kids I might have. I had six children before I was 26 and I should have done it then. I set an age limit for 'falling in love' with a wonderful man and maybe consider another two (35). That didn't happen. Fast forward 14 years and I accidentally got pregnant with #7. That sure as hell reinforced my decision to not have any more. On top of that, my own children have started on the next generation, and I didn't want them to have a baby sister younger than their babies.
After my 5th child and my only girl. I was 34. I had my tubes tied for several reasons.
1) I had an overactive thyroid condition created by being pregnant and occurring after my 2nd pregnancy. This caused many health problems for me especially with my last 2 pregnancies and took several years to resolve. So my main reason was my health.
2) I had all the kids I wanted and could care for (with or without the father involved- relationships change over time) and I had no lingering desire for adding more children in the future.Tubal reversal is difficult so I accepted it as a permanent decision.
3) I wanted to have some time left to myself while I was still young enough to fully enjoy them after all my kids were grown. I had my 1st child at 20 and will be 52 when my daughter turns 18.
As for the tubal itself... it brought on menopausal symptoms earlier for me, messed with my hormones. And you'll need someone to drive you home from surgery and take care of you for a few days afterwards and baby. The gas that's used to inflated your uterus during surgery is painful when it's being absorbed by your body afterwards. So be prepared for some recovery time.
I was 29 years old when I had my tubes tied, I had a 9 year old a 4 year old and had just given birth to my last child the day before and I don't regret it at all. If for some reason my marriage does not work out, I would never ever consider having a baby with anyone else, there is not that much love in the world that would make me go through a pregnancy again, not even if he paid me a million dollars. My babies are wonderful, but I absolutely hated being pregnant.
I def don't want to be pregnant again (we have 2 boys) but even so I wouldn't consider being steralizied unless it was absolutely the last option (including having DH have a vasectomy).
Because I do not want another pregnancy I had a coil fitted, but unfortunately that didn't work for me (it came out) so I now have an implant.
Make ABSOLUTELY sure that you don't want any more children - consider the breakup of your relationship and possible new one, children growing up, everything before making the decision to go for it.
Only do it if you are sure you don't want any more kids. I had mine done at 37 with 3rd child and 3rd caesar. Much easier to do while having caesar as they're already in there anyway, just a matter of placing clips on tubes- as long as all goes well, was warned if there were any complications they may opt to not do it ie: if I'd gone into early labour. Have had no problems with it. Was a big decision to make though, you do need to be sure that you definitely don't want to have any more kids as they don't recommend you do it if you think you might want more.
I'm 27, mother of 3 and had my tubes tied with my last one. I did have all 3 of my children Csection and that played a large part in deciding to get my tubes tied. If you have multiple Csections (esp. 3 or more depending on health status) the risk increases for complications for you and baby. Of course 3 was also definitely enough for me.
well it depends do you have any medical problems? and the most important thing is can you manage another child? but the very most important do you want another child? if you want another child and can handle it go ahead if not then proceed with the procedure hope this helped..
