Lehman's Hardware, a 56-year-old store that closed after a Feb. 28 flood, will reopen on March 5, according to a notice on its website.
Located in Kidron, Ohio, an hour south of Cleveland, Lehman's is comprised of several pre-Civil War era buildings that took on 3 ft. of muddy water when a flash flood swept through the area. Local residents -- the store serves a large Amish population -- helped with the clean-up effort and damage repair.
Lehman's has posted photos and video footage of the damaged store on its website, along with a invitation to their "massive flood sale," which runs all month.
"In most cases, the boxes are wet, but the product is undamaged," said Glenda Lehman Ervine, one of the owners.

An Aiken woman trying to kill herself ran in front of a car along a busy stretch of Richland Avenue and suffered serious injuries, authorities said Sunday.
Karen Taylor, 38, of the 1000 block of Linden Street, jumped in front of a 1989 Chevrolet Suburban about 4:30 p.m. Saturday. The car rolled over her and she was later taken to Aiken Regional Medical Centers.
By Sunday afternoon, she was listed in stable condition.Witnesses told Aiken police that they tried to stop her from running into traffic several times, but the woman finally walked into the middle of a road and stepped in front of a vehicle.
The Suburban, driven by Joseph Wilson, 16, of Columbia, ran over the woman in front of a Wendy's fast-food restaurant.The driver, who was in the area to visit friends, was not injured and his vehicle sustained minor damage.
Witness Flamb Funches, part-owner of Sparkle Car Care on Richland Avenue, said Ms. Taylor lives near the accident scene and is known for walking up and down Richland Avenue.
Infant's injuries investigated
Richmond County sheriff's investigators tried to determine Sunday what happened to send a 9-month-old Augusta baby to the emergency room at Medical College of Georgia Hospital.
The baby, Kaylah Bussey, was listed in critical condition Sunday night at MCG. Specifics of her injury were not available.
Kaylah, along with her 4- and 6-year-old brothers and a 2-year-old sister, was under the care of a family friend, Sonya Lewis, 30, when she was hurt, authorities said.
Emergency medical personnel received a call before 2 p.m. from Ms. Lewis, who told the dispatcher that Kaylah was lethargic and not breathing properly, according to police reports.
Ms. Lewis told the dispatcher her 10-year-old daughter had seen one of Kaylah's siblings choking her moments earlier, investigators said.Investigators questioned the children and Ms. Lewis. No one was charged Sunday.

I'm loving all the SP's from the top 3 ladies, especially Rachael's, I've never seen her emote so much in a program.

Rachael was great. I personally didn't love her short, but it did have much more personality than her programs usually do, so good for her. I liked her long though. I agree with whoever said that this music is much more accessible than Debussy was, and I don't feel like this program was as flat as her usual. She's doing great, I look forward to seeing how she improves throughout the course of the season.
I actually liked Mirai's POTC more than I thought I would. I liked the beginning slow part because it's not the overused POTC we all know. It's not princessy but it does have some sensitive parts to it. And I like how she used a variation of the main theme at the end. Not as dramatic as the original, but I don't think that was what she was going for in this program.
Carmen was so so.. Again, appreciate the lesser-known cuts but the program didn't stand out in my mind. I think she knows she's not ready for full-on Carmen, so she tried to do a unique version of it. Unfortunately, it left the program in a kind of awkward middle. Overall I like that Mirai's getting away from her cutesy stuff but she should have waited until she was ready for full-on Carmen. As far as her jumps, I can't see any significant improvement but it at least looks like she's back to her old self.
Caroline's short has tons of potential. Loved parts of the choreography and her black dress is soo pretty. She used a lot more of the slow part, understandably. I was hoping for a faster footwork sequence, but what she has is really nice too. But the final two spins have got to be faster with that music cut. Someone said on YouTube that her lack of speed is making her spins look bad, a hard thing to do. She was definitely off here, but this program could really be great if she just gets going...
Nutcracker...sigh... it was exceedingly similar to Ave Maria... and every other long she's done. Liked the spirals but that was about it. I was really hoping she could build off of the great crescendos in the music but even her spirals kinda fell short there. She could potentially do fine with this program like she did with Ave Maria, but we're all tired of fine...
So yeah, after seeing all four girls' early programs, I'd probably rank them:
1. Rachael
2. Ashley
3. Mirai
4. Caroline

Haha I love Ellie, she's so cute. Her short is great but I loved her tango LP actually, and her LP dress is quite stylish.
As near as I can figure, Caroline was not allowed to jump for a month, then was back to jumping for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks before Golden West. We can't really judge how she's doing after so short a time back into full training.
Mirai and Rachael seem to be ready to take on the world.
I think you mean Mirai and Ashley!

I actually like Caroline's short program. Probably not outstanding but still great. Her long program though.. I'd really hate to see her go back to Ave Maria in the mid-season two years in a row. That's how much I'm disappointed with Nutcracker.
I'm disappointed with Mirai's both programs. She's 16, and it's about time she should be skating like a lady. Why is Lori placing all those cutesy poses that disrupt the flow of otherwise excellent programs? This just confirms my theory that she likes to "define" each of her skater. Time to move on. Period.
Rachael's short program looks awesome. She just needs to be careful not to cross the border to "gimmicky". Her spins are still too sloppy. The way she drags her blade for an extended period of time each time she enters/exits a spin or changes the foot really makes her look unpolished and juniorish. Her tech mark is very strong as it is, but bit of polishing up might just boost her pcs.
I'm impressed with all of them, given that it's still early in the season and all those coaching changes and injuries. But I have to say I'm most impressed by Alissa and Ashley's short programs so far.
I have to say I was most impressed with Mirai after watching all three. Her Carmen was much better than I expected, finally some mature choreography for her. I thought she skated it really well except for the fall at the end. The only thing that bothered me was that her step sequence did not seem quite big enough, I don't think she closed the circle, even in that small rink does anybody know if she got deducted for that? Her SP was beautiful and I did not recognize it as pirates until the step sequence at the end which I thought seemed very out of place with the begining of the program. Lori has to cut out all the cutesy moves in there which here funny when she was 14, not anymore. It just does not match the first 3/4 of the program. but in both programs her speed and jumps were head and shoulders above the other girls.
I liked Caroline's short, that dress looks terrific on her and it is nice to see her doing something with personality. that entrance into the double axel seems to have helped a little, or else just masks it better, whatever, she should keep that. Her long was as expected. Rather boring. Some parts felt like Ave Maris set to different music. I don't like the blue dress at all and I felt myself holding my breath everytime she went into the air. She gets absolutely no height I can't believe she can rotate 3 times.
Racheal was ok. The free was very "her" but I didn't feel any presence on the ice, but I am giving it time. I thought her jumps also looked very small and that catchfoot position in almost every single spin was tiring, especially because the position is not very pretty. There were some sloppy moments in both programs, but it is early yet. Her spirals still need a lot of work, they looked so much higher in the practice videos I was disappointed. I felt that Sing, Sing, Sing was not the best choice when I first heard it and still feel that way. It seems juniorish or more like an exhibition, not an olympic program.
Watching her performances raised a few questions though. What happened to her Ina Bauer? It seems to be gone in any incarnation from her programs, when it used to be one of her more spectacular moves. When we first saw Mirai in Juniors she was incorporating it into various entries on jumps, but through the last two seasons she seemed to remove that from her repertoire, using it only as a stand alone element. Now she's not even doing that. Her spiral also seems a bit weaker to me, like the leg is not as high and her back seems to be a bit more dropped. Does anyone else see this?
I don't really understand her programs at all. I don't think anyone is considering Mirai a contender for an Olympic medal, but in an Olympic year wouldn't a skater want to be competing with programs designed to win the gold. The long program especially, just seems so bland. Even if she skates it perfectly it's just not the kind of brilliant program that judges are going to award with titles. And maybe that's not Mirai and her coaches' goal this year, but I think they'd always be striving in that direction. I'll actually say that I think Mirai's programs have gotten progressively worse choreographically since we saw her win the Junior National Title. She was certainly skating like a junior that year, but the program worked with the music and was interesting. Transitions were better and the choreography seemed more specific. Coppelia was nice too, but last year's long was totally forgettable and I think this year's will be the same, even if she's skating better.
But those are the programs she has and I think she and Lori and Frank have a lot to work on, especially in the footwork sequences and the transitions. It will definitely be interesting to see how and if these programs evolve over the next 3 or 4 months.
I just rewatched all three girls' long programs, and execution of jumps aside my favorite programs are now in this order:
1) Caroline
2) Mirai
3) Rachael
I think a big part of the program is the finish, and while I was hardly thrilled at the music Caroline chose-- it swells as it gets going and really finishes with a bang. I like how her spiral is near the end because its really sensational and directly followed by the pearl. Pretty effective. Rachael music cuts really did nothing for me except for the middle section (the actual main Theme) but that makes neither the first impression nor leaves the last impression. Mirai's, after viewing it again, is actually a very winning Carmen portrayal imo. Course it needs work but I saw alot of charm already there.

Five is company for Indian boxers at World Championships
After Vikash Malik, Sumit Sangwan and Satish Kumar made it to the quarterfinals on Tuesday, the number of Indians in the medal round have gone up to five, thus making it the country's best ever show at the worlds.other Updated: Oct 23, 2013 01:17 IST
Even before winning a medal, Indian boxers have already made a mark at the World Championships in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
After Vikash Malik (60kg), Sumit Sangwan (81kg) and Satish Kumar (+91kg) made it to the quarterfinals on Tuesday, the number of Indians in the medal round have gone up to five, thus making it the country's best ever show at the worlds. Shiva Thapa (56kg) and Manoj Kumar (64kg) had already entered the quarterfinals on Monday.
"It is already a great show by our boxers and I hope this will continue and transform into medals," said chief national coach GS Sandhu. "At the end, what matters is the medal. So, our best show will happen only when we take home more than one medal from here. In the last two editions of the worlds we had won a bronze each, so looking at the way the boys are fighting, for sure we will end up with the best-ever showing even in terms of medals," Sandhu added.
Vikash, who is competing in the World Championship for the first time, was the first one to enter the quarterfinals on Tuesday. He got better of fifth-seed and former 2008 European Championships silver-medallist Miklos Varga. He will now face fourth-seeded Robson Conceicao of Brazil.
"He has the temperament and he is an aggressive boxer. You can expect anything from him. Never during the bout, it looked like he was playing at this level for the first time in his life," Sandhu said.
Sangwan defeated seeded Siarhei Novikau of Belarus in a one-sided contest and heavyweight Satish Kumar defeated another Belarusian Yan Sudzilouski.
"Here everyone has given of their best. Even those who lost got a standing ovation for their effort. Manpreet lost to the world No 1 and he fought so well that even after he lost, the crowd left their seats for him," Sandhu said.

When an employer calls the employment lawyer, it's usually to say, "I want to [insert questionable hr behavior]. Can I?"
Of course, what they really mean is "may I do it?", and what they are really asking is, "Is what I want to do legal?"
The employment lawyer usually answers, "it depends," and then proceeds to ask the client a number of questions about the factual situation, and gives the client a brief discourse on the relevant law.
Given that attorneys and accountants are the most valuable business partners that many businesses (particularly small businesses) have, I think that "it depends" is the wrong answer in a vast majority of cases. The better answer is asking the client "why do you want to do that?"
Let's face it – we get the laws we deserve. We have anti-discrimination employment laws against certain protected classes because of a history of employment discrimination against those classes. More classes will be added, and more laws created, because discrimination continues. We have laws against retaliatory discharge because too many employers fired people who squealed, instead of fixing the problem being squealed about. We have wage and hour laws because too many employers will undervalue and overwork people who are desperate to feed themselves and their families.
So the next time a client calls and asks, "I hate gay people, and I don't want to ever hire one. Is that legal?", I am begging employment lawyers to be good business partners and community citizens, and not give a discourse about the state of anti-gay discrimination legislation in your jurisdiction. Instead, explain to the client why taking a stance against hiring an entire class of population is a poor business practice in general, and how that business practice is not in the best financial interest of the client.
Do this for every questionable employment practice you are asked about. It will save you, and the client, from having to deal with the law that will inevitably follow.
[Author's note 07/21/11 – Congress introduced a bill on July 18, 2011 that would make the unemployed a protected class by preventing hiring discrimination against them. Don't say I didn't warn you. ;-)]

DALLAS - The question from Dallas Stars coach Glen Gulutzan is, "Well, who do you take out?"
My response, "I don't care. Jamie Benn is your best forward, and he should be on your team's top power play unit."
Many thanks to the Stars coach for humoring me this morning after his team went through a morning skate in preparation for a game against the San Jose Sharks. The Stars are in first place in the Pacific Division and won seven of their last eight games.
They aren't doing this because of a killer power play. The Stars' 30 power play goals is second to last in the NHL, and their 14.9 power play percentage ranks 27th. If my math is right, those numbers aren't what the experts call "any good".
Hence my lobbying to put the team's best offensive forward on the top power play unit. Who to take out? Leave winger Loui Eriksson there, and either move or alternate Mike Ribeiro's spot with Benn.
Here is Gulutzan's reasoning why Benn is not on the top unit:
"When you talk about power play units it's more than just your best player has to be on it. There has to be chemistry. That five man unit that is our top unit right now is ... they have run probably 18 percent since the All-Star break."
Let's see if his math is right. Since the NHL All-Star break, the Stars are 9-for-54 on the power play, 16.7 percent. That percentage would put them right around the middle of the NHL.
"When you are having some level of success, stay with it," Gulutzan said.
Benn also had a little issue of an appendectomy and missed a few games with a deep cut on his leg.
"Everybody talks about power plays at 20 percent, but at this time of year if you can hit at 17 percent or so ... because everything tightens up," he said.
Gulutzan did not think the concept of having Benn on the top power play unit was totally inane, but he is a fan of continuity right now.
"We don't want to change this right now. But we also feel Benn is a guy who creates very well on his own. He creates a lot on the power play off the rush," Gulutzan said. "We thought Jamie is a guy who can create a little bit on his own, and this creates a little bit of competition among the guys, too."

2009 Dry Forest Workshop. This workshop was held October 13-15, 2009, in Redmond, Oregon. Two hundred people representing multiple disciplines from research institutions, non-governmental organizations, tribal nations, and state and federal agencies came together to discuss and develop stand-level prescriptions that further conservation of the northern spotted owl and integrate ecological and fuel management objectives for dry forest restoration in the eastern Cascades of Washington, Oregon and California.
View Workshop Presentations
Joint Fire Sciences Program Report. View the report provided to the Joint Fire Sciences Program summarizing the workshop participants, key discussions and prescription objectives, and follow-up actions as recommended by participants.
Future Workshop Products. An intended long-term product is the implementation of treatment objectives and strategies developed during this workshop in a network of management study sites across the geographic and ecological breadth of the eastern Cascades to further our knowledge of effective dry forest management and northern spotted owl conservation. During the workshop, interdisciplinary groups were formed to define and discuss silvicultural, wildlife, and other ecological objectives for different forest types. Results from these groups will be compiled into a management template that can be used by managers to develop treatments that will contribute to our knowledge base on response of dry-forest systems. We expect to post final versions of these products in early 2010.

Second Test, third day, second session
120th over: Australia 440-6 (Gilchrist 13, Warne 8) White ends with a maiden after taking three wickets in his eight-over spell. It's been a cracking effort and all based simply on not leaking lots of poor balls. That's tea and White trudges off for a well-deserved drink. The red-faced hordes of the barmy army have had plenty already. They're in fine voice, God-love-'em.
119th over: Australia 440-6 (Gilchrist 13, Warne 8) No signs of Warne and Gilchrist shutting-up shop before tea. But Dawson's control of line and length means they can only hit to his field.
118th over: Australia 438-6 (Gilchrist 12, Warne 7) Warne's playing a shot a ball and he top-edges a hook just short of Hoggard at fine-leg. Spawny get.
116th over: Australia 431-6 (Gilchrist 8, Warne 5) Warne tickles to square leg, to bring Gilchrist into strike. He tries to smash White through the leg side but gets a leading-edge. It loops into the off side but he's hit it so hard that it still carries over a third of the way to the boundary. A let off. England have shown real guts during this fightback.
115th over: Australia 429-6 (Gilchrist 7, Warne 4) Three pinched singles off Dawson, who's encouraged by Stewart's calls of "Come on Les".
WICKET! Australia 423-6 Waugh c Butcher b White 34 Suddenly England are throwing themselves around like dolphins in the wake. Butcher's catch at point is at head height, to his left and an absolute cracker. White then pins Warne bang in front second ball. But Bucknor is doing an impression of a waxwork dummy. That was plumb.
113th over: Australia 421-5 (Waugh 34, Gilchrist 6) Gilchrist watches three loopy off-spinners from Dawson carefully before absolutely mullering a slog-sweep high towards deep mid-wicket. Trescothick makes a superb, porpoise-like leap on the rope, gets about three feet off the ground and just fails to get a touch. That was an astounding effort. So Gilchrist off the mark with a six.
WICKET! Australia 415-5 Lehmann c sub (Flintoff) b White 5 Lehmann goes for a buccaneering flash to a short ball outside off stump. He gets a thick edge, it cannons to Flintoff, who spills it, only to grab it again as he falls forward onto his knees. He chucks the ball high in celebration. Clearly an inspired move to bring him on as sub. Gilchrist sees out the rest of the over.
111th over: Australia 413-4 (Waugh 30, Lehmann 5) Tidy from Dawson.
110th over: Australia 412-4 (Waugh 29, Lehmann 5) Another slingy over from White. His last ball is short, rises at Waugh, and finds the edge. It rolls to Flintoff at first slip, who labours after it in clear discomfort. Flintoff's on for Vaughan. What's that all about, given that he wasn't fit to play here?
109th over: Australia 410-4 (Waugh 28, Lehmann 4) A really nice flighted over by Dawson. Lehmann plays a nasty biff that comes to nothing before punching a neater off-drive for a single. Waugh then attempts the sort of leg-side hoik known at my cricket club as the "village".
108th over: Australia 407-4 (Waugh 26, Lehmann 3) The barmy army are now in great voice. Hussain is OK and is standing at the little white picket-gate, waiting to return. White is still banging it in but any bounce the pitch once had is now dying.
107th over: Australia 402-4 (Waugh 20, Lehmann 2) Bad news for England. Hussain is off the field after parrying that chance off Steve Waugh a couple of overs ago. Another hand injury for old popadom-fingers?
106th over: Australia 398-4 (Waugh 20, Lehmann 0) Dawson, who has bowled confidently both yesterday and today, never looked like dropping that one. White charges in to Lehmann, veins bulging and bangs it in with all his might. Lehmann simply stands rock-like and lets it hit him in the ribs. England have adopted a one-size-fits-all strategy, looking to get the Australians snared at leg-gulley.
WICKET! Australia 397-4 Ponting c Dawson b White 154 Ponting pulls at an innocuous short ball from White but only manages to spoon it to Dawson at deep mid-wicket.
105th over: Australia 393-3 (Ponting 154, Waugh 20) Waugh, supposedly vulnerable early on, has made 20 off 17 balls. This time it's a crushing cut for four. England can't make up their mind whether to attack and try and bowl Australia out or to go on the defensive and try and delay the declaration as long as possible.
104th over: Australia 392-3 (Ponting 153, Waugh 16) Waugh absolutely flays a good-length Caddick delivery for four through the covers. That's calypso cricket. He follows up with an ugly jab toward the far-distant straight boundary. Dawson scampers after it like an enthusiastic pup, but can't prevent the Aussies coming very close to taking an all-run five. They settle for four. Ponting must be seeing it like a beachball, which makes it all the more impresssive that Harmison is able to really discomfort him with his penultimate ball, a rib-tickler.
102nd over: Australia 368-3 (Ponting 142, Waugh 2) Harmison is really flying and he could, maybe should, have had another wicket here. Steve Waugh turns a good-length ball towards leg-gulley off the full face of the bat. It flies to Hussain but doesn't stick. Hussain kneels and wrings his hand. Ponting then canes a cut through the covers.
"I often wondered what the relationship between Pulp and the England cricket team was", muses Nathan Koblinz. "Now I know. 'Everyone hates a tourist / Especially one who thinks it's such a laugh'." Sorry, you've lost me there Nathan. Answers on a postcard?
101st over: Australia 359-3 (Ponting 138, Waugh 0) England are trying to get rid of Waugh in exactly the same way as they just got Martyn: Caddick digs it into his ribs and Key waits at leg-gulley. This is a good spell from England but you wonder whether it will make any difference in the long run.
100th over: Australia 356-3 (Ponting 135, Waugh 0) A great over from Harmison. Martyn is hit square on the shoulder by a rapid bouncer. But he just grins, and next ball he's as solidly into line as ever. Harmison makes his intentions known by switching around the wicket, really bends his back and is rewarded first ball.
WICKET! Australia 356-3 Martyn c Hussain b Harmison 95 Harmison switches to round the wicket and his first ball is a lifter on leg-stump which he gloves to a carefully-positioned leg-gulley.
99th over: Australia 356-2 (Ponting 135, Martyn 95) This time it's a posse of Elvises who are the main attraction.
98th over: Australia 353-2 (Ponting 135, Martyn 94) Harmison also slips onto the pads and Martyn tucks him into the leg side. But two of his other deliveries come down with real heat. Most of the crwod are oblivious: they're distracted by a bulky aborigine in speedos and a vest who is wandering the stands.
97th over: Australia 351-2 (Ponting 135, Martyn 91) Hoggard is bowling to a strong off-side field and proceeds to drift onto the pads four times. And he's disgusted with himself.
96th over: Australia 343-2 (Ponting 134, Martyn 84) A tight over from Harmison, a maiden. But there's nothing threatening so far.
95th over: Australia 343-2 (Ponting 134, Martyn 84) Three slips, two gullies, short point and short extra-cover, so there are plenty of gaps. Ponting punches one into the leg-side to bring the scores level, Martyn clips to mid-off, and Australia move into the lead. One ball from Hoggard goes virtually underground. A real grubber.
"Well, I rushed home from work to see how the cricket was going, but instead I found myself in the hospital with my daughter and an ear infection", writes Andrew Carpenter. "Finally I get to turn on the computer and ... I think I'm going back to hospital. At least there you have a chance of recovery." I'd love to disagree with your choice Andrew, but I can't. Hope your daughter gets better soon. I had terrible trouble with earache as a nipper. My mum swore that the only thing that took my mind off it was 3-2-1 with Ted Rogers and Dusty Bin. Perhaps not an option nowadays.
Lunch: No joy for England in the morning as Australia cruised to 341-2 at lunch. But hey, a quick wicket and there's only Waugh, Lehmann and Gilchrist to knock over. Join me here at 3.15am (UK time) for the afternoon session.

Inquiry on canonization of Salesian opens today-A A +A
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- A Salesian priest is on his way to sainthood, and the Diocesan inquiry on his canonization opens today in this city.
The opening session of the Diocesan Inquiry to the Cause of Canonization of the Servant of God, Fr. Carlo Braga, SDB, will be the main highlight of the 10 a.m. Eucharistic Celebration in honor of St. John Bosco at the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Archdiocese of San Fernando Pampanga.
The celebration will be presided over by Archbishop Paciano Aniceto.
St. John Bosco, whose feast day is celebrated today, was the founder of the religious congregation Salesians of Don Bosco, wherein Fr. Braga was a professed member.
Fr. Braga, born in 1889 and ordained to the priesthood in 1914, arrived in the Philippines in 1953 to be the Rector of Don Bosco Victorias.
After 65 years of his profession as a Salesian and 57 years in the priesthood, he died in 1971 in Bacolor, Pampanga where he was staying both as a Confessor and Director for the Salesians and its aspirants.
Forty-two years after Fr. Braga's death, the Salesian community in the Philippines filed a petition for his beatification, honoring the priest's heroic virtues, especially in his years of service in the Philippines.
In a memoir written by Fr. Braga in 1962, he stated, "I am not accustomed to making prophecies, but I believe that it will be precisely from the Philippines that groups of missionaries will depart to bring the light of the gospel to their Asian brothers."
The "nihil obstat," (which means "nothing stands on the way of the process") or the permission for the beatification and canonization, has already been signed January 31 last year, although the closing of the Diocesan Inquiry has not been determined yet. The "supplex libellus" (humble petition) for introducing the Cause for Fr. Braga has been presented on February 9, 2011. (Fergie H. Fabian)

While some crave Carnival from as far back as October there are those who through the season just look forward to the post-Carnival comedy shows. For a lot of people these shows are their cooldown rather than more fetes or negotiating the crowds at the beaches.
Therefore on February 15 several hundred people packed the Arima Velodrome for the opening of the Alternative Comedy Festival presented by Randy Glasgow Productions. On this night, incidentally, there were two other such events taking place in Port of Spain namely the World Laugh Festival at Jean Pierre Complex and Talk Tent at Queen's Hall. Yet the Alternative Comedy still managed a sold out audience.
So, on with the show in which much of the comedy was not PG-rated and quite racy. There was not as much politically oriented material as in previous editions, possibly because people have really grown so fed-up with the escapades of politicians that it's just not that funny any more. The Prime Minister and National Security Minister were mentioned in some jokes, though, both presented a most unflattering light.
For example in a skit featuring Kenneth Supersad as a reporter doing live interviews on stage at the Queen's Park Savannah on Carnival Tuesday, the comedian spots one "Mr Warner" jumping in a band. Supersad asks the man what is the reason for the recent animosity between himself and his boss.
Mr Warner answers that there is no problem as his boss told him that he remains her go-to man of business, but Keshorn Walcott is now her iron man, which sent the audience into peals of laughter.
Things in the skit got more interesting when an extremely skinny man shows up on stage and he and Mr Warner get into a fight because the latter tells Supersad that the skinny man used to stuff his face with Debe doubles every night after his farce.
Opening the show was the popular Knuts Landing who delivered a series of one liners that had people doubled over laughing uncontrollably. The nuts vendor turned comic told the audience that they should not be too hard on the People's Partnership Government because they were really working hard. "We have a functioning Government. Every weekend they does have a function," Knuts Landing said as the audience roared.
He also said that the National Security Minister ordered the police to post guards at every cemetery because he wanted to make sure all areas were secure. He said that one night two officers posted at the Lapeyrouse Cemetery, Port of Spain, saw a man walking out with a casket on his back. Knuts Landing said when they stopped him ready to arrest him for grave robbing, the man told them, "Know what all yuh doing."
The officers asked what was he doing with the casket, the man replied, "I eh like whey dey bury me, so I moving out,"
Nicki Crosby, acting as Gladys Silvia Bradshaw, who is more popularly referred to as Granny, had the audience in stitches as she, alongside Penelope Spencer, Debra Boucaud-Mason and others performed a skit in which Granny was in court for assaulting a young man.
According to the young man, Granny beat him for no reason whatsoever, but Granny's defence was, "Ah plannass he a*#s for tiefing in meh yard."
Granny also had choice word for the judge, played by Spencer who Granny said looked just like her mother who she knew well. "Yuh look just like yuh modder. We used to call she butterface. She had a body on she. But a face? Gyad," Granny said.
Wendel Etienne and Theresa Hope did their "Unlucky Couple" skit in which Hope returns home from a long trip to find that Etienne has sold off everything in the house to pay off gambling debts. He tells her that Standards came and repossessed all their furniture and appliances, but the problem with that story was they had bought everything from Courts. Etienne even had to give away their dog, Gypsy to settle a debt with Mr Chin. When Hope found out this was the case she gave the dog up for lost forever.
The night's two foreign acts each proved pleasing to the audience. Chow Pow from Guyana won over the women opening by saying Trinidad had the most gorgeous women he had ever seen. Jean Paul from Canada got them laughing with his exploration of the language of Rastafarians and also the homophobia of Jamaican men.
For example, he said one day he

6 Tips To Effective Delegation
As an executive, supervisor, manager or team leader, you make daily decisions about everyone's workload. Delegation is an excellent management tool to maximize your team's performance; however, it is a skill that needs to be learned. To help maximize your delegation skills, we have put together 6 tips and 5 core competencies to improve your delegation skills.
6 Tips To Effective Delegation
1. Give The Person A Whole Task To Do – People prefer to get the job done and not wait for someone else to hand-off a component of it. Likewise, connect everyone who is actively working on the project so they can all see the big picture.
2. Make Sure They Understand Exactly What You Want Them To Do – Take the time to manage expectations so things are done correctly. Establish performance standards with SMART goals. That way, it is crystal clear what and how the task or project needs to be done.
3. Share Your Vision With Them – People like to know what your vision is on a project so share it with them. If they understand the big picture and how the task or project they are delegated fits into that big picture, they are more likely to be committed to it.
4. Set Project Due Dates – Most people need to know due dates so they can effectively manage a project. By setting specific dates and milestones you will help your team better manage a project that has been delegated to them.
5. Give Them The Right Tools – Make sure your team has the right tools to do the job. This can range from computers to software and everything in between.
6. Reward Your Team – Rewarding people for their individual and group performance is a great way to motivate them. Although financial consideration is great, best-in-class leaders find creative ways to reward their team.
Effective Delegation Can Strengthen Any Organization
Delegating tasks not only fosters a team environment but can help individuals increase their level of performance. Doing so, you will find individuals increasing their responsibility, leadership skills and project management skills. Plus, it's an excellent way for them to feel important to your organization.
The 5 Competencies To Help Maximize Your Delegation Skills
1. Make Your Team Accountable – Leaders who delegate well demonstrate personal responsibility and hold everyone accountable for organizational outcomes.
2. Human Resource Management – Leaders who delegate well make sure there are resources available to meet the team's goals and objectives.
3. Solid Interpersonal Skills – Leaders who delegate well build solid relationships of trust and respect inside and outside the organization.
4. Leveraging Diversity – Leaders who delegate well find ways to leverage capabilities, insights and ideas across diverse cultures, styles and ability.
5. Strong Leadership – Leaders who delegate know how to enhance their organization's value, while tapping into their team's skills and abilities, to help achieve the desired results.
SUMMARY – Effective delegation is all about sharing the workload, with the added bonus of developing skills and responsibility in others. A leader not only needs to look at the "final result" but also who worked, who didn't work and what they should do differently next time. The 6 tips and the 5 competencies above will not only help you achieve a work-life balance but also become more productive.
"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."
–General George Smith Patton, Jr.

In 1948, at the First International Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous, Dr. Bob gave his last major talk. He related for those in attendance his recollections of the beginnings of A.A. He recalled that in the early days they were groping in the dark. The Steps and the Traditions didn't exist; the A.A. Big Book hadn't been written yet. But they were convinced the answer to their problems was in the Good Book. And one of the absolutely essential parts of the Bible for them, according to Dr. Bob, was the Sermon on the Mount. But there are two verses in there whose application to 12 Step recovery may seem to be a bit strained.
Matthew 5:31-32, which expresses Jesus' thoughts on divorce, follows right after he addressed how his followers should understand and apply biblical teaching on adultery and lust. As is typical of his teachings in other areas of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus turns the Jews understanding of what the Law said about divorce upside down. The passage says:
"It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
Jesus began by referring to Deuteronomy 24:1-4 from the Law of Moses, where if a man wanted to divorce his wife, he was required to give her a formal certificate declaring he was divorcing her. At that time, a man was permitted to divorce his wife, but a wife was not allowed to divorce her husband. She could petition the court, and if her plea was accepted, the court would direct the husband to divorce her. Culturally, to moderns this appears to be an unfair, patriarchal practice. But there was a loose interpretation of that section of the Mosaic Law that made it even more one-sided.
Deuteronomy 24:1 said a man could write his wife a certificate of divorce if she fell out of favor in his eyes "because he found some indecency in her." The word for "indecency" in Hebrew can have a sexual connotation, but here it referred vaguely to some failing or sin. By the time period in which Jesus lived, the grounds for divorce could be a failing as trivial as a wife burning the food she cooked for her husband. We could almost say this was an ancient sense of a husband-centered "no fault divorce." This was the interpretation of the followers of Hillel, a rabbi and teacher during the time of Herod the Great. The school of Shammai, a conservative Pharisee from around the same time period, limited the sense of the Hebrew word for "indecency" to its sexual sense and only permitted divorce for adultery.
Regardless of how an individual understood divorce, it was an accepted practice in Judaism for a man to divorce his wife. However, her husband could not put her outside of his home on a whim; he had to formally release her from her marriage vows. The certificate of divorce was a protection for the woman, indicating she could legally marry someone else. Remarriage for a widowed or divorced woman provided security in the culture of her time. Leon Morris observed: "In first-century Jewish society how else could she live?"
But, Jesus said divorce should not be granted at the whim of the husband; it's not simply the right or privilege of a man to dispose of his wife whenever he tires of her. Such capriciousness was sin. Jesus said not only does this kind of husband force his wife to commit adultery by her remarriage, but also the man she marries. In God's eyes the indecency to justify a divorce had to be serious to break the covenant bond of marriage. Apathy towards the wife of your youth or the desire for a younger, prettier "trophy wife" were not acceptable reasons for divorce.
Clearly Jesus saw marriage as a lifelong union between a man and a woman. Addiction can destroy that bond as effectively as adultery. In fact to a spouse, drug and alcohol addiction often feels like the addict or alcoholic is in an adulterous relationship—even when there isn't another human being involved. There are frequent promises to their partner they are finished with alcohol … cocaine … heroin. Then the partner discovers those were promises without teeth. The addict didn't follow through with a permanent breakup with their drug/lover.
Farther on in the Sermon on the Mount, in the midst of discussing treasures on earth or in heaven, Jesus tells his audience that whatever they treasure has their heart. Since no one can serve two masters (or lovers), they will be devoted to one or the other, but not both (Matthew 6:19-24). Being with an addict can feel like that. Your partner is in a relationship with something else; and you can't compete.
In the A.A. Big Book, chapter 8 is "To Wives." Counter-intuitively, that chapter was written by Bill W.; not his wife, Lois. In Pass It On, Lois said she was hurt Bill insisted on writing it himself. His given reason, so that it would be in the same style as the rest of the book, seems a bit weak. There was, in fact, a section included in the A.A. Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous, that was written by another hand. "The Doctor's Opinion" was written by Dr. Silkworth, the doctor who treated Bill at the end of his drinking. I think it is fair to say Bill W. had a strain of chauvinism in him and it showed up here.
Another way to apply Matthew 5:31-32 to recovery is to reflect on how adultery and divorce were frequently used as metaphors to describe idolatry or unfaithfulness to God in the Old Testament prophetic literature. Here, the adultery would be spiritual adultery; a violation of the individual's relationship with God.
Ezekiel 16:15-35 frames the unfaithfulness of Jerusalem to God as adultery. Jeremiah 3:1-10 similarly describes how Israel polluted the land with her lovers. Israel and Jerusalem are the unfaithful wives. In Malachi, the priests are described as being faithless to the wife of their youth. Adultery, whether it was literal or a metaphor for spiritual unfaithfulness, violated the individual's covenant before God.
The Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth. "For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the Lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless." (Malachi 2:14-16)
This is part of a series of reflections dedicated to the memory of Audrey Conn, whose questions reminded me of my intention to look at the various ways the Sermon on the Mount applies to Alcoholics Anonymous and recovery.

I have short hair. I want to know what men think of it. I'm trying to grow it back out. Originally, I had it shaved in support of my best friend, who had (and lost his battle to) cancer.
Most Helpful Guy
Sorry about your friend.
I get a lot of hate for this but no I wouldn't date a woman with short hair. Long hair is super important to me when it comes to sexual attraction. I am just not attracted to girls with short hair, and I am not going to date a girl that I am not attracted to. It wouldn't be fair to either of us. Now if the woman wore a wig, or had hair extentions I would be fine with that, but I am not attracted to the way short hair looks at all. I am not picky about other stuff like weight, but hair is one thing I can not compromise on.00|01|0

The Movie:
The Ichabod Crane of Irving's tale has been transformed from a spindly schoolteacher into a progressive police constable in 1799 New York City, played by the decidedly ungawky Johnny Depp. Not to worry, Depp channels all of the character's awkwardness from his appearance into his behaviors instead. Portrayed as a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Clouseau, Crane fancies himself a most modern of detective, a firm believer in science over superstition, but at the same time is laughably prissy and squeamish, and lacks proper social interaction skills. Depp's performance is a riot of tics, on the one hand putting forth the demeanor of a dashing hero, and on the other retreating at the slightest hint of danger and constantly fainting whenever in peril. If the mix sounds on paper like a recipe for bad comedy, Depp knows exactly how to pull it off, perfectly balancing the character's exaggerated mannerisms without going too far over-the-top into blatant farce.
As the new story tells it, Constable Crane's newfangled scientific techniques don't much impress his superiors, who decide to punish his insubordination by assigning him to investigate a string of murders upstate in the tiny village of Sleepy Hollow. The victims, naturally, were all beheaded, and the locals insist that the culprit is the infamous Headless Horseman, a demon wraith sent from Hell. Arrogantly believing himself above such ignorant superstitions, Crane sallies forth to debunk their silly myths, until running headfirst into the evil apparition and having a sudden change of heart. He'll either pull himself together to solve the mystery behind this supernatural menace, or lose his head and fail.
Although certainly retaining all the basics of Irving's archetypes, the film is unmistakably a Tim Burton production through and through. The director infuses every frame with his signature style of beautifully dark imagery and morbid gallows humor. He gleefully indulges his most demented fantasies, filling scenes with gruesome decapitations and dismemberments (the movie earns its R rating for graphic violence), yet playing the whole thing tongue-in-cheek. It's quite a blend, both thrilling and funny, the laughs taking the edge off the scares. The movie has a strong script, sterling production values, and a fantastic cast featuring the likes of Christina Ricci, Christopher Lee, Michael Gambon, Christopher Walken, Ian McDiarmid, Michael Gough, and Jeffrey Jones, all playing their parts to perfection (we'll forgive Casper Van Dien, who really isn't that bad in it). Sleepy Hollow is terrifically entertaining, perhaps Tim Burton's best film to date.
The HD DVD:
HD DVD discs are only playable in a compatible HD DVD player. They will not function in a standard DVD player or in a Blu-Ray player. Please note that the star rating scales for video and audio are relative to other High Definition disc content, not to traditional DVD.
The movie's photographic style is one of darkness upon darkness. The disc will likely put most video displays to the test. Shadow detail is encoded within the picture, but the overall image is so dark that many digital screens may not be able to fully resolve it. I'd almost hate to try watching this disc on a plasma set. In comparison to the standard DVD edition of the movie, black levels on the HD DVD are much deeper and inkier, though the lighter blacks made shadow details easier to see on the older copy. If your display can handle it, the HD DVD looks a lot nicer, with particularly rich colors that extend into a deeper palette than available in Standard Def, a trait especially noticeable in the costuming. Flesh tones have been intentionally drained of color, and look a more precise shade of pale on the HD disc.
The picture has a nice sense of detail and texture but is not exceptionally sharp. It may not quite leap off the screen like some HD eye candy, but does look very film-like and is a decided improvement over the DVD. Details are much clearer in medium and wide shots, and the HD disc is free of edge enhancement artifacts. Grain is visible by design in many scenes, more so than the DVD by virtue of the better resolution exposing it in greater clarity, which may not please viewers hoping for a squeaky clean digital image. The opening credits look the roughest in this regard. Fortunately, the compression quality is well handled and maintains the look of photographic grain, not video noise.
The Sleepy Hollow HD DVD is not flagged with an Image Constraint Token and will play in full High Definition quality over an HD DVD player's analog Component Video outputs.
The photo images used in this article were taken from the DVD edition for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to demonstrate HD DVD picture quality.
I was surprisingly disappointed with the DD+ track, which sounds lifeless and dull. The DTS option has a lot more body to the sound. Even so, I found it a little too bombastic, with dialogue mixed low and many details muddled in the middle of the audio spectrum. The movie's sound mix makes only sparse use of surround activity, primarily balanced in the front soundstage. Bass gets a fair workout during the trampling of horse hooves, but not as much as you'd hope during the big scary scenes. It's plenty loud to be sure, but lacks the clarity and finesse of the best soundtracks.
Subs & Dubs:
All of the video-based supplements from the DVD have carried over. Unfortunately, they don't amount to much.
No interactive features have been included.

Funny the way things work out sometimes.
As you may or may not have noticed, the podcast has primarily been keeping its eye on underexposed indie films through the course of 2014. Of the nine episodes that have posted prior to this, only three of them are what I'd really qualify as "mainstream selections". So when I circled this animated offering from Dreamworks as a film to be discussed, I thought that it might be the moment the show tapped back into the zeitgeist.
Imagine my surprise to see this film under-perform, making this discussion a look at yet another underexposed selection! Hell, back when I mapped out when episodes would drop, along with what would be discussed, I feared that talking about this title one week after it arrived would be showing up late to the party.
Imagine my surprise!
Well hopefully y'all tune in (and even more hopefully, y'all check out this film), as it was a great evening spent with one of my favorite local podcasters – and a good friend to boot. This is the first time I've recorded in someone else's home here in my home city, and I think it brought a great energy to the show that's audible in the track. So before we go on, I want to offer my gracious host a word of thanks for opening his home to me.
Here's what's in store in episode one-hundred-and-fourteen…

On this sunny May afternoon, Paul Loeb spoke not of the technical reasons for the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster in the peaceful farmlands of the Soviet Ukraine, but of what he believes ultimately caused it--human fallibility and complacency.
Loeb has never been to Chernobyl, but he has spent much time at Hanford Nuclear Reservation in the southeast corner of the state of Washington, a federal nuclear facility that, ironically, houses a nuclear first-cousin to the Soviet Union's Chernobyl reactor.
From three years of researching and writing, Loeb produced his first book, "Nuclear Culture," a profile of life at Hanford, the largest nuclear facility in the world, through its officials, its workers and their families, from its inception in 1944 to present day.
He contends there must be certain parallels between the people of Chernobyl and Hanford--an attitude he refers to as "atomic banality"--as well as the known physical parallels between their nuclear plants.

Environmental Leadership in Developing Countries: Transnational Relations and Biodiversity Policy in Costa Rica and Bolivia (American and Comparative Environmental Policy)
In the absence of world government, effective national policy is essential to the success of international environmental initiatives. Yet research on global environmental cooperation has proceeded without models of policy change in developing countries, where most of the world's people, land, and species are found. In this book Paul Steinberg provides a theoretical framework to explain the domestic responses of developing countries to global environmental concerns. Drawing on extensive field research, he traces the evolution of public policies to protect biological diversity in Costa Rica and Bolivia over the past four decades, to understand how these countries emerged as leaders in tropical conservation and how international institutions might support similar outcomes in other countries.Environmental Leadership in Developing Countries explodes the myth that developing countries are too preoccupied with short-term economic growth and material survival to devote attention to global environmental concerns. Instead it offers a nuanced account of complex, decades-long efforts to create effective institutions, and analyzes the relative roles of foreign and domestic actors in this process.

TEL AVIV (Jan. 16)
Military sources disclosed today that 30 Israeli soldiers have been killed and 119 wounded during the period Oct. 27, 1973-Jan. 15, 1974 in which the cease-fire has been in effect. According to the sources, the greatest number of casualties–24 dead and 90 wounded–occurred on the Egyptian front. The toll on the Syrian front was six killed and 29 wounded.
Transport Minister Shimon Peres said today that the Egyptian cease-fire violations constitute a "mini-war of aggression" and said it must be stopped, hopefully by political means and not by war. Discussing the situation on the Suez Canal front Peres told a radio interviewer that a claim by Likud that the Egyptians had moved long-range anti-aircraft SAM missiles to the east bank of the canal would not surprise him as both sides were trying to improve their positions. Some military sources expressed doubt about the Egyptian move but indicated that it is quite possible that at a later stage the Egyptians would set up SAM missile positions and sites on the canal's east bank.

Finding the right kitchen knives for various food preparation tasks can be a chore. For example, it's difficult and indeed rather embarrassing, not to mention dangerous, to try and peel certain vegetables with a steak or bread knife. That's why any kitchen where good food is made with regularity needs a quality knife set which will cater for all possible cutting requirements. As a frequent cook myself, albeit one who is far from being considered expert, I appreciate the various kitchen tools that make preparing food easier and safer for all concerned.
The Chicago Cutlery brand of kitchen utensils and equipment has long impressed me and one of their products in particular has received high praise from many quarters and is thus an item I want to review in more detail so you can get a good idea of the benefits this Fusion 18-piece kitchen knife set which comes with its open maple wood block can bring to your kitchen and cooking arena.
High-carbon stainless steel blades
One of the features which set these knives apart from other sets is the material with which the blades are made. High carbon stainless steel is a metal alloy which has slightly higher amounts of carbon than average steel. This can range from 0.6% carbon all the way to a full 1%. The benefit of this higher than usual carbon to steel ratio is the added strength given to the metal as a whole and thus makes the knife blades even better at cutting through any type of food. Extra strength is gained through the ability of carbon to further solidify the structures in the steel and the same high ratio is also used in 85% of steel equipment we use every day of our lives in America.
Stainless steel is a very familiar metal to all of us and most metal utensils in the average kitchen are made from this material. As the name suggests, the steel is less susceptible to staining due to the chromium (usually about 10.5% of the complete metal) which helps to prevent stains. However, one slightly unfortunate side effect of a higher carbon stainless steel is the extra chance of corrosion. That said, this can easily be rectified with regular oiling which will keep the knives in great condition. One can use ordinary cooking oil to achieve this and make sure the knives are thoroughly dried before returning to the maple block.
Chicago Cutlery knife construction
The fusion 18-piece knife set is one of the best designed collections of knives I've seen for a long time and as an Interior Designer, I've seen a lot in my work. As with all good knives, the blades extend all the way through the handle and are held solidly in place by ultra-secure rivets. The handles are specially design poly-grips which provide both comfort when cutting and good traction so your hands are never in danger of slipping. It is wise to make sure your hands are not wet when cutting foods however.
The high carbon in the stainless steel, as mentioned previously, means the act of cutting into the food, whether, meat, bread or cheese, is made ever so much easier and less pressure and force is required. This also makes the process safer and prevents strains and accidents often associated with poorly designed kitchen utensils.
Best designed kitchen knives
Another factor which makes these knives such an attractive purchase is their aesthetic design. They are sleek, modern and stylish which means they will contribute to the overall décor and ambiance of the kitchen interior where they are placed. The honey maple wood (also available in natural bamboo) adds extra charm and will compliment various existing design schemes. One small drawback that previous buyers have noted is the arrangement of the knives when stored in their wood block. In some cases, the knives don't quite line up with one another and this has been commented on. That said, it's not detracted from the raving reviews and multiple 5 stars given to the product on Amazon.
The Chicago Cutlery knife set includes:
- 7.75″ chef knife
- 7″ Santoku (slice, dice, chop and mince)
- 8″ Slicer
- 3.5″ Parer
- 3″ Peeler (generally known as a Lancashire peeler)
- 7.75″ Bread
- 5″ Partoku (smaller than the Santoku, combines the convenience of a paring knife with the versatility of the Santoku)
- 5″ Utility
- 4.25″ Steak (8 of these)
Plus there is a special sharpening tool.
Knives come with taper grind edge technology
These Chicago cutlery knives come with even more benefits, namely the taper grind edge technology which makes cutting even easier than regular high-carbon stainless steel knives. So what exactly is this taper grind edge technology and why is it important?
A knife of this type has a blade that decreases in size from the handle to the tip and from the top or spine of the knife to the bottom or cutting edge of the blade. The blade is made from just one sheet of metal and has been ground on one or two sides so that the blade tapers smoothly from the spine to the cutting edge without a bevel or fluted edge. This means the tapered blade is more stable and sharper thus making it capable of withstanding more cutting action than more regular knives. As one buyer put it, this design makes cutting through a potato as easy as cutting through butter.
Buying the knife set
I like to buy online and I have done for many years. I'm not one for shopping in real stores with all the leg-work involved and I find it so much easier to compare prices on the internet and discover good deals. When buying cutlery and kitchen tools myself, I check a variety of online locations and I have done this too with this 18-Piece Knife Set. Again and again, Amazon comes out as the cheapest option and the best value for money with their fast and secure delivery system.
You'll also want to read previous buyer's reviews which can be found on the product page here: Chicago Cutlery Fusion 18-pc Block Set.
