Spring Break Part II: Funny Stuff They Said with Daniel's Recipe Printable
Having my kids home all day cracks me up. I mean literally, by 5:30, when my husband gets home, I'm a little cracked in the head.
But I love it. I do.
What do you do on the lazy days of Spring break? Well, for any parent who decides to stay home with the kiddos during their week off of school, these are definitely not lazy days. Duh, right?
But it's still fun. I cooked 3 meals yesterday. Do you think anyone will notice if I only "cook" 2 today?
Daniel helped me make last night's dinner. He even helped come up with a recipe.
"Mom, can we have a bowl of carrots for dinner?"
"Um, well…"
"And bwocowi! Bwocowi and carwats for supper. Nothing else."
"Um, well…we do need to have some kind of meat. Chicken, maybe?"
"No. How about if you put the meat in with the bwocowi and the carwots, all in 1 big bowl?"
"Hmmm. Yes, that sounds good. How about this sausage?"
"Yes! Yes."
So Daniel and I made a delicious dinner that, believe it or not, was heartily consumed by all SIX residents of the House of Tiny Men. Here's the recipe. Alan made me write it down.
So I typed it out for you to print for yourself.
Just click on the link below to download and print the recipe.
Okay, it may not be that pretty, but I promise it was yummy. Even my picky eaters did eat it, believe it or not.
Daniel tries to hang out with the neighborhood boys, who are all 2 to 3 years older than he is. They are Caleb's age, and as far as they are concerned, Daniel is just Caleb's little brother. Daniel has been persona non grata to them.
I told Caleb he was going to have to tell them we can't play if they can't include Daniel.
Yesterday I sent them out to play, and I asked Caleb later how it went.
"Oh, I told 'em, 'If you guys can't accept the little guy, I'm going to turn you into rotten flesh."
"Ew, Caleb! What does that even mean???"
"It's from Minecraft."
"What did they say?"
Caleb made a face that looked sort of like this 8 /
Nothing more was said. So no one said anything unwelcoming to Daniel. Raising boys is apparently not for the easily offended or overly refined….
It's been a fun week so far. Lots of driveway basketball, Lego Star Wars video games, and popcorn eating has taken place.
Caleb's genius plan for spring break was announced on Day 1:
"Let's make a rest schedule for this week."
I laughed, but he appears to be sticking to it.
People probably think I never dress him. hehehe
Hope y'all had a great week too!

"Stairway to Heaven" in Copyright Infringement Trial
The infamous opening riff of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" ("Stairway") – played ad nauseum by budding guitarists around the world – will soon be the subject of intense scrutiny in a copyright trial slated for 10 May. It turns out that the plucked intro of "the greatest rock song of all time" may have been lifted from an instrumental track, "Taurus", released by the band, Spirit, in 1967.
The lawsuit is being brought by the Plaintiff Michael Skidmore in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, who is the administrator of the trust of the late Randy Wolfe, who was Spirit's guitarist and the composer of "Taurus". Skidmore alleges that Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page may have been inspired to write "Stairway" sometime after both bands had toured together between 1969 and 1969.
Listening to both "Taurus" and "Stairway", one might be inclined to agree with Skidmore's assertion. However, Led Zeppelin have scored a number of pre-trial victories that have made the Plaintiff's battle an uphill task.
Perhaps most importantly, U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner has restricted the "Taurus" sound recordings in dispute to what was deposited with the U.S Copyright Office in 1967 – the only recordings of "Taurus" presented to the jury's ears will therefore be the ones transcribed from the copyrighted sheet music. Furthermore, the judge has rejected all of the Plaintiff's expert evidence, as these were musicologist reports that relied on unprotected versions of "Taurus".
What's more, the judge has also barred evidence being tendered by the Plaintiff on a number of subjects that have been deemed irrelevant, including allegations of Led Zeppelin's history of plagiarism, the wealth of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, and the band members' history of drug and alcohol abuse – the latter issue being a point raised by the Plaintiffs to cast doubt on Page's recollection that he never heard "Taurus" when composing "Stairway".
The Plaintiff claims that the "most important thing is to give credit where credit is due". However, given the immense popularity and ubiquity of the song, the Plaintiff could also stand to win a tidy sum from future royalties, if he is successful in this lawsuit. The case is Skidmore v Led Zeppelin et al, U.S. District Court, Central District of California, No. 15-03462.

Earlier today, the Disneyland Resort announced that as its Disneyland Resort's Diamond Celebration draws to a close and it begins its 61st year in Anaheim, it has introduced a ticket donation program for sixth grade students in Anaheim, recognizing student actions to improve their homes, schools or communities.
Titled 'Happiest Class on Earth: Anaheim 6th Graders Making a Difference,' Disneyland has committed to offer every sixth grade student in Anaheim Elementary schools the opportunity to receive a Disneyland Resort Park Hopper ticket after completing a project that enriches their home, school or community. The program, which will continue for at least the next ten years, will also be extended to schools located outside the city of Anaheim whose student body consists of at least 50% who live in Anaheim.

After just a few airings of three new series, NBC has picked up comedies Go On and The New Normal, and adventure-drama Revolution for the full TV season.
A new series is typically given 13 initial episodes, with pickups usually adding nine more to carry the show through the full TV season. These three series have likely been helped in the ratings by the strong performance of their lead-in, The Voice.
Monday's Revolution is averaging 9.8 million viewers through its first three broadcasts. Go On and The New Normal, which form a Tuesday comedy block, are averaging 8.6 million and 6 million viewers, respectively, over their first three broadcasts in their regular time slots.
"We're impressed with the imagination and creative direction of the entire team on Revolution," NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said in a statement. "We're also very proud of our new comedy block of Go On and The New Normal."
The latter show, about a gay couple who hire a single mom as a surrogate, has been semi-controversial: a Mormon-owned NBC affiliate station in Utah rejected it as "inappropriate" for its conservative audience.
NBC, which had the Olympics as a summer promotional platform, launched all three shows before last week's traditional start of the new TV season.
"The strategy for this season was to draft off the promotional platform of the Olympics and then begin our season early and strong," said NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt in the statement. "I think we've accomplished both of those goals, yet we know it's a long season and there's much work ahead of us."

West Virginia's defense should improve now that coach Dana Holgorsen has turned all play-calling duties over to former co-coordinator Keith Patterson, though improved is, of course, a relative term.
Just how bad was the Mountaineers' defense over much of last season? It was historically bad even in victory, as WVU showed in its 70-63 victory over Baylor on Sept. 29.
RGIII: Baylor and Texas legislature honor former QB at Texas State Capitol
Patterson, now fully in charge of the defense after an offseason coaching shift, knows that a firmer knowledge of duties and responsibilities is the first step to a wholesale improvement during the Mountaineers' second season as a member of the Big 12.
"It's like building a home," Patterson said on Mar. 10. "The first thing you have to build is the foundation. First of all, identifying who you are, what are your philosophies and expectations? From meetings and being on time and preparing for meetings – not being late for class and not missing class, so we work on discipline.
"We want to be the least penalized defense in the country, no stupid or foolish penalties, so we've started right down to the finest element of looking at ourselves from a philosophy and expectation standpoint," Patterson said.
Even as the offense loses several all-conference starters, including quarterback Geno Smith, WVU is fully aware that it's the defense that keeps the Mountaineers from being labeled a valid BCS contender. Patterson's task, one started down the stretch in 2012, will be to create a more disciplined unit to team with what should again be one of the country's most prolific scoring offenses.
Spring dates: West Virginia opened the spring on Mar. 10 and will play its spring game on Apr. 20.
2012 record: 7-6 (4-5).
WASHINGTON: Suspends star TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins after DUI arrest
Returning starters: 9 (3 offense, 6 defense). That total is more than only four other FBS teams (Florida International, Kansas State, Troy and Louisiana Tech).
Five players to watch: QB Ford Childress, OT Quinton Spain, WR Kevin White, LB Isaiah Bruce, S Malik Greaves.
Spring questions:
1. No worries on offense, right? Well, no. Yes, the Mountaineers return only three starters on offense, and no, there is not a convincing amount of returning experience at the skill positions. Regardless, Holgorsen has achieved enough over his decade-plus on the FBS level to believe WVU's offense will remain among the nation's best – even if the Mountaineers fail to match last season's production in the passing game. Where WVU is strongest heading into the heart of spring drills is on the line and in the backfield, which lends credence to the idea that this offense might actually be able to run the ball effectively during conference play.
2. What about Big 12 experience? Last season's experience in the Big 12 – meeting teams for the first time – will help WVU in 2013, but is the benefit overblown? "I think it helps a bunch," Holgorsen said on Mar. 5. "That has been one of the vocal points the past eight weeks. We have constantly emphasized that. Going through it, and I said it a year ago, it is going to take some time to go through this before we truly understand it. When we show them film on the specific schools, it makes sense to them now." Of course, won't Big 12 rivals be more familiar with the Mountaineers as well?
Position battles:
1. Quarterback. Holgorsen is in no rush to name a successor to Smith, who left with nearly every meaningful passing record in school history. Junior Paul Millard might be an early favorite due to his experience as Smith's backup over the last two seasons, even if Millard has attempted only 34 passes in a reserve role. The other two options are redshirt freshman Ford Childress and true freshman Chavas Rawlins, the latter an early enrollee. You get the impression Holgorsen is excited for the competition, so look for it to continue when WVU returns to the field for fall camp.
ARKANSAS: Embracing the future after an absolutely terrible 2012 season
2. Wide receiver. With so little returning experience (and almost zero returning production), WVU will give a long look at incoming receivers like JUCO transfer Kevin White, who more than looks the part physically. White and true freshman Daikiel Shorts could move into the rotation by the end of the spring, joining lesser-known holdovers like K.J. Myers, Devonte Mathis, Connor Arlia and Jordan Thompson. As a whole, WVU's depth chart at receiver is wide open. Again, I think Holgorsen is excited about working with the new-look group.

Speech: Castro to swing at GOP
Updated 7:43 am, Wednesday, September 5, 2012
In his leadership at City Hall, Mayor Julián Castro is decidedly nonpartisan. But based on an advance copy of some of the remarks he'll give in Charlotte, N.C. tonight, San Antonio's favorite son will show he's quite comfortable swaying into Democratic Party rhetoric.
Castro is scheduled to present his keynote address at about 9 p.m. local time, marking the first time a Latino — or a San Antonian — has presented the headliner speech at a Democratic National Convention.
During his address, Castro will tell the nation about his family story, one that he says is not unique.
"What's special is the America that makes our story possible," he'll say.

PARIS (May. 22)
A group calling itself The Remembrance Commando has threatened to kill one of the leaders of France's minute neo-Nazi party. The group, which has already assumed responsibility for the murder on March 20 of rightwing parliamentary candidate Francois Duprat, telephoned the French News Agency AFP yesterday to say "we intend to immediately execute the neo-Nazi Pierre Clementi."
The Remembrance Commando apparently is accusing Clementi of being responsible for the explosion which last week slightly damaged the Paris offices of the Association of French Concentration Camp Deportees.
Clementi is a former officer in the French Legion of Volunteers which fought with the Nazis on the Russian front during World War II. Sentenced to death after France's liberation, he has since been pardoned and now leads the small New European Order, a neo-Nazi organization.
An anonymous group calling itself The Peiper Commando, named after the SS Colonel who was murdered in his villa in southern France on July 14,1976, has assumed responsibility for several bomb explosions in Paris. The Remembrance Commando apparently believes that Clementi, now in his 70s, and his men are behind these attacks.
Duprat, a university lecturer who specialized in translating into French former Nazi pamphlets, was killed by a bomb which blew up his car on the eve of France's parliamentary elections earlier this year. Duprat was running for Parliament on an extreme rightwing ticket. French police have suspected since then that the two minute groups, neo-Nazis and Jewish extremists, are engaged in a sort of gang warfare.

Chatham County Manager Russ Abolt recently got a bird's eye perspective of Lake Mayer by tethering himself to a helicopter in a new rescue harness. Hanging like a pendulum, the 71-year-old Abolt soared over the park for about five minutes before being gently lowered back to ground.
The "public safety" demonstration took place on April 6 as part of the Take a Soldier Fishing Day - Wounded Warrior Bass Tournament, an annual National County Government Month event in Chatham.
It was not the first time Abolt has tested new county equipment. In 2010, he volunteered to be incapacitated by one of the Savannah-Chatham police department's Tasers.
This month's airborne voyage was a much more enjoyable experience, Abolt said.
After Abolt took flight, Chatham Emergency Management Agency Director Clayton Scott strapped on a different type of harness and took his own trip hovering around the lake.
The harnesses were purchased for emergency responders to use in water and fire rescue operations, Scott said.

Part 1 - Anyone who believes that doesn't understand life.<br />
Part 2 - Another joke about fat people. Lame.
It was clever. I just don't like humour at other people's expense. Understand life... I know enough about swimming not to drown, but don't understand everything about fluid mechanics and buoyancy. I understand life sufficiently not to drown, and to see through 'nice guys finish last'.
Fat girls finish dinner.
From what I've seen in life, things have a way of balancing out... the HS stars flame out way too early... the wallflowers usually do something in life worth talking about (that is if they are not so screwed up from growing up the way they did). It's life. That's just the way it is, if you all ask me.
With a comment like that, you will probably get first place! :P
wow thats mean haha:/ actually fat girls finish the right way lmao -_- lol
I will be with an overweight woman if she has a good personality.
Kids really shouldn't be on here showing themselves up like this. It's painful.
Is there no one you can play xbox with, or (thinks hard what kids do these days) chill out at the mall (LMAO)? Seeing you chat utter rubbish on here really is laughable, or is that your goal?
Well, I'll give you an A for effort. ;o) I have different coloured eyes, hence the name. One is blue, the other is brown.
Oh Nicky......
I'm not nice and I finish last. I also finish last when I'm with fat girls.

LEGO Batman - Two Face and Scarecrow Video
These are two of the biggest threats Gotham City faces, and they'll definitely be a major challenge for Batman. Now, this game is inspired by the upcoming movie, but it most certainly shouldn't be ignored: almost all the LEGO-based titles in the past have been great; they're deep, entertaining, and generally very well done. We expect nothing less from Traveller's Tales' latest, and we always like to see multiple memorable villains popping up in any game. Both Scarecrow and Two Face look to be highly problematic - just watch 'em rip through those unsuspecting cops - but our hero will save the day, we're sure. Who would ever have thought that LEGO could make such an effective leap to the virtual world?

Hear ye! Hear Ye! The Glock series of pistols will be banned under Senator Feinstein's bill.
All semiautomatic pistols that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one military feature: threaded barrel; second pistol grip; barrel shroud; capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip; or semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.
And since Gaston gave us the Glock 18…. you Glock Owners are shit out of luck.
UPDATE: And I forgot to add possibly the second most popular pistols: Beretta 92. Also included the Taurus PT 92.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Blog reader Rob and Head MHI honcho Larry Correia illustrated me on the fact that there are ful auto versions of the good old 1911 pistol that now will be included in the ban.
Somebody tell Smith $& Wesson and Springfield Armory not to come up with auto versions of their puppies!
NOTE: There has been some reasonable argument about the application of this items if the first model came out in semi and then a model came out in full auto therefore not applying. I want to remind you that clowns that authored the bill and those that will enforce it are already attacking the Constitution, so they are not gonna suddenly develop a case of scruples and consider only semi guns that came from full auto versions. They will take advantage of anything and everything to screw us over. Remember, the ATF will be the ones parsing and refining the meaning of this law and they have a long history of pushing the envelope to achieve what they want. Shoelaces, paper clips and Crazy Glue anyone?

Dikshit visits CWG sitesJuly 14th, 2010 - 11:35 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, July 14 (IANS) With only 80 days left for the Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games (CWG) and rising concerns over timely completion of projects, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit Wednesday inspected the sites of the delayed projects and asked officials to complete them by the Aug 31 deadline.
An official said Dikshit inspected three-four sites, including the Barapullah Nallah elevated road corridor that connects the Games village with the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in south Delhi.
The elevated corridor, undertaken by the public works department (PWD), has missed several deadlines and the government has expedited the work on it as it is important for smooth travel of players and delegates during the Games.
Wednesday's visit to Barapullah Nallah was second by the chief minister in past 10 days.
Delhi PWD Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan and top government officials accompanied the chief minister her during the visit, the official added.
Dikshit had June 9 directed all the stakeholders of the CWG projects to complete the work related with the mega-event by Aug 31.

A few things I'd add:
1. Lift the speaker up more than half a meter (usually with books) and raise the mic by the same amount.
2. Add a lot more pillows around the loudspeaker and between the mic.
3. Start with shorter gate (3ms), and expand on it until you start running into trailing noise (and back-off from that as appropriate).
Remember the longer the gate (that's clean), the higher the resolution (or the less "averaging" that's taking place) at lower freq.s within that window.

search on ground plane measurement techniques. This effectively doubles or quadruples the first reflection point (meaning a lower gate frequency). Downsides is artificially high efficiency (is it +3dB) due to ground plane loading plus you lose baffle diffraction effects. It might be useful anyway as a "2nd opinion" measurement technique (I try and measure multiple ways to confirm behaviour).
You could raise the speaker off the floor (midpoint between floor / ceiling) to gain a few miliseconds. Based on software though - this may not increase resolution or decrease measurable frequency, if the software (like speakerworkshop) measures in "bands".
If you can - try and use a balcony outside with a mic on a boom.
What xover point are you targetting? That will give you a good measurement goal.
composit measurement of a nearfield woofer and farfield gated tweeter will work but remember you lose relative phase (separate measurements with mic being moved) so need to re-extract minimum phase and enter driver offset (since VCs are not time aligned?) when modeling your xover

I have a seos12/dna360.
Here is how I measured...
I did a nearfield on the woofer just for the heck of it. Don't need it for the crossover.
But first, I put the microphone on the tweeter axis. 3 Feet away.
Measured the tweeter with no xover.
I did not touch ANYTHING, including volume of signal output.
I then measured the woofer.
If you know how to do it, I would measure the tweeter first with detect time zero.
After you get the measurement, then time zero lock and press "use" on "last detected".
This is on Holm... Not sure on REW. My computer can't handle any more programs.
I would check it out if I could...
This will allow you to set your acoustic offset to perfect.
One benefit of having non baffled horn! And you don't have to enter the offset in PCD7 once you physically align them. One less thing to enter...
I know you are going active, but I figured I would mention PCD anyways.
What woofer are you using?
I am using a crappy Cerwin Vega.
I want to upgrade in the future.
Curious what your measurements are once you get it all ready for digital crossover.
I have the same seos12/dna360, so I can post up measurements just to compare.

Here are the measurements zoomed into a 10 ms window. What I'm suprised of, is that the farfield and nearfield impulse response of the woofer is nearly the same...
I will try to raise the speaker, add more pillows, and raise the gain, and see how that changes the measurements.
My target crossover point is 1600hz in order to match directivity with the woofer (B&C 10HPL64).
The horn is the SEOS 15 btw, with B&C 250. Voice coils are time aligned, or are at the same vertical plane at least.

Looks like there is your first big reflection just after 2m.
I would look into measuring the acoustic centers as they don't always match the voicecoil center... Then you know you are perfect.
Now that you are measuring, save everything. You are going to get crazy with all the measuring.
Even with just one little speaker, I have tons of measurements from one short session.
I was trying tape on tweeter edges, removing grilles, different baffles, different stuffing. I went nuts. And learned a lot. I am trying to learn about as much as I can as to what effects the frequency response and what is worth as far as modification. I don't want to have to eq much at all.
Measure with and without pillows just to see if it is even helping.
After you get all set with your measuring set up, don't forget to try different stuffing in your cabinet.
I was surprised how incredible one speaker sounded, and how incredibly flat it measured in midrange up to about 1.7k after I removed the back of the cabinet and stuffed the heck out of it. I left it open back. It had some polyfill in the regular cabinet, and adding a bit more didn't help.
I took the back off and stuffed a complete wool blanket in there.
Sure, it killed the bass, but for a midrange it would be incredible.
Have fun playing, now.
You will notice in the nearfield that the response below about 500-ish is really nice with very little to no reflections due to low volume of signal. But the highs starting at around 1k or so has weird responses due to the mic picking up competing signals from each side of the outer edge of cone. So you will have weird cancellations. This is why nearfield is not good for highs. Mainly for bass.
There is a good thread about Jeff Bagby and another guy who made a nice nearfield-farfield splicing program to allow you to have both on one FR graph. I have not gotten that far yet in my design.
The tweeter is much more precise and the highs reveal more, so I set the gate with the seos impulse response.

I wanted to pull my speaker farther from back wall, but there was a ceiling fan that hung really low in middle of room. I hate that thing.
Front baffle is 5 feet from back wall.
Center of baffle is 5 feet from wall on each side.
Later, I made a table to raise the speaker up a little higher to take advantage of 10 foot ceilings.

Should the placement of the mic be on axis with the tweeter?
Or so that the length from each drivers acoustic center, to the microphone is equal?
I reckon the latter will be more correct for the midrange area, which is the area of interest here (1600 hz XO).

Yes to first one, as that is how you are going to listen to it. On axis with tweeter.
Also, when I put the measurements in PCD, I don't have to enter the acoustic offset, as I measure it at 0 and can enter the listening (and mic) distance along with driver vertical alignment. It will sim different listening distances.
You don't listen to the woofer on axis, so why measure it on axis?
But I am new to this, so others will chime in, I am sure.
You are going active, so you need to know how to measure the acoustic offset.
I think it's better to measure farther away (actual listening position) as the two drivers become more aligned as they get farther away. No one listens to most floor standing speakers from 3 feet away (especially a big waveguide or horn). Small nearfield mixing monitors are different, obviously.
Another nice thing about active, is that you can measure at listening position to account for room interaction.

Made some new measurements with elevated gain, longer distance (1m), and experimented with and without pillows. I get the smoothest impulse response using pillows, so I stuck with that.
I've set the gate to 3.8m, just before the reflection on the impulse response.
What boggles me, is that the response is so much nicer without a gate... Makes it hard to trust the results I get with the gate set to 3.8m...

SAN FRANCISCO — It amounts to a financial drop in the bucket, but the $100 million Apple is investing to make some Macs in the USA could be priceless for national manufacturing.
Apple is just one of several companies — Google is another — that has or plans to import manufacturing jobs stateside because of the economic and political advantages of producing them at home.
This week, Apple CEO Cook said the company will produce one of its existing lines of Mac computers in the U.S. next year. He offered no other details.
Talk about your 180-degree turn for Apple.
Steve Jobs famously — and reportedly — told President Obama, "Those jobs aren't coming back," when asked at a dinner in early 2011 whether Apple would consider shifting some manufacturing to the U.S. from China.
This is Tim Cook's softer, gentler Apple, however. Since he took over as CEO more than a year ago, the company has revamped its stance on manufacturing. This year, he visited Chinese factories amid complaints about the working conditions for assemblers of Apple products. Foxconn promised to limit working hours and raise wages.
Glance at Cook's resume and you'll also see why Apple is partially returning to manufacturing parts in the U.S. — as it did until about a decade ago.
Cook, 52, burnished a reputation as a master in day-to-day operations. That means more manufacturing jobs may be coming home.

by Ian | January 1st, 2012 | Camps International, Mantanani Kindergarten, News | No Comments
Arkitrek's Ian Hall will be talking to the Sabah Society on 4th January about 'Green Building; Mantanani Style'
Sustainability lessons with the Bajau Ubian of Pulau Mantanani.
Lesson One – You can't build that, people will laugh at you!
Lesson Two – You can't build that, the cows will laugh at it!
Lesson Three – Orang Putih use a lot of water!
The first two lessons relate to how the aspirations of the islanders can be at odds with the aspirations of the incomers from the tourism industry. This talk will look at how a community tourism operation can be run and more specifically, how green building principles can be taught and implemented within this context. The final lesson concerns the Mantanani community adapting to the tourists and the dawning realisation that the new way of life may not be as sustainable as the old.
The Bajau Ubian are not the only people to learn about green building on Mantanani. Arkitrek implements community projects, not as a design consultancy but as an international education program. Projects are designed and supervised and to some extent funded by architecture, engineering and construction students from around the world. During the program, students get to design and build projects which challenge conventional attitudes to the use of natural resources in the construction industry. The fact that these lessons take place in a stunning natural environment makes them more poignant.
Change does not happen quickly and built infrastructure must be developed contemporarily with social infrastructure. The link with responsible tourism operator Camps International is critical in this respect in providing continuity and livelihood. To date, Arkitrek and Camps International have implemented, or are in the process of implementing three built projects on Mantanani. 'Green Building, Mantanani Style' will be illustrated with images of the Camp Mantanani buildings, the MCP Learning Centre, Mantanani School Library and Mantanani Kindergarten.

12.22.2010 Proverbs 22:3
Proverbs Post #28-
Today I was reading in chapter 22, decease and verse 3 jumped out to me today. It says:22:3 A shrewd person sees danger and hides himself, hospital but the naive keep right on going and suffer for it.
The end of the year always brings thoughts of tasks completed and plans for the next year. I met with my advisory group early this morning and as we looked through the plans for next year, sick God placed a thought on my mind. I am planning for business or more specifically the ministry path but how much effort have I put into the path for my family in the coming year?
I began to think about the time I am spending working versus the time I am spending building God into their lives. Since our children are one of our greatest responsibilities, we cannot just go through the motions in raising our kids! If we do not build into the lives of our children, we will have problems when they are in their teen years. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
"A shrewd person sees the danger and hides himself," means we need to look ahead at the possible consequences of current our actions. Am I building into my child(ren)? If we do go down a path of spending little time with our children, "the naïve keep right on going and suffer for it."
What are you doing to build into your child(ren's) lives?
I want to challenge you to take up reading the Proverb of the day and the entire chapter as well. Lord, please help each one of us to keep our focus on things above and not the things of this earth. Amen.
I am using the Net Bible to quote from for these posts

Composer of Proctors' "Gentleman's Guide" living dream
Touring company continues dream for writer, composer
Published 3:05 pm, Wednesday, September 16, 2015
The Broadway musical smash "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" is about to hit the road with a tour that will last 10 months and visit 20 different U.S. cities. And it all starts this week in Schenectady, where the show runs for eight performances at Proctors.
Things really got under way on the Proctors stage during the late summer. That's when the technical team behind the show began using the theater's state-of-the-art facilities as a platform for rehearsing the interplay of sets, lighting and sound that will be taken to venues across the country.
For writer Robert L. Freedman and composer Steven Lutvak, who with the cast arrived this week, the curtain going up at Proctors will be the latest chapter in an odyssey of success that they could hardly dream of.
"It's really thrilling," says Freedman. "This was my ultimate dream, and I saw it realized."
More Information
If you go
"A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder"
When: Opens 8 p.m. Saturday and continues for 7 more performances through Sept. 26
Where: Proctors, 432 State St., Schenectady
Tickets: $20-$80. 346-6204 or http://www.proctors.org
A cabaret evening with composer Steven Lutvak
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday (9/17)
Where: Proctors, 432 State St., Schenectady
Tickets: $30. 346-6204 or http://www.proctors.org
"I still pinch myself every day that this has happened," says Lutvak. "Not long ago I was a perpetually struggling musician, trying to pitch this show everywhere possible."
Lutvak does still perform his cabaret act on occasion, and he'll be doing so Thursday night at Proctors for a special one-night-only benefit. But he's no longer struggling professionally. He says that there are new projects in the offing with Disney and NBC Universal, and during our phone interview last week he was in the midst of a residency in Nebraska working with young music theater composers.
Back in New York, the four-time Tony Award winning "A Gentleman's Guide" is going into its final months at the Walter Kerr Theater, where it opened in October 2013 and is slated to close in January. When Lutvak is in the city, he still takes time to drop in during performances, just to soak in the good feelings.
"I stop by the theater every few weeks and listen to people laugh at what made Robert and me laugh so many years ago," he says. It was back in the late 1970s that Lutvak first discovered the source material, a 1907 novel by Israel Rank. He spent the intervening years on various other projects and honing his craft before approaching Freedman with the idea. The two did graduate work in theater together at New York University and spent some eight years developing and writing and the fundraising and legal hassles that ultimately led to the show's regional debut.
Laughter and fun was always part of their plan, and "A Gentleman's Guide" is distinctly a musical comedy. That's despite the murder in the title. Actually, there are eight murders that take place in the two acts.
The killer is Monty Navarro, who is determined to wipe away all of the family members who stand in the way of his inheriting wealth and title. In a brilliant theatrical conceit, each of his victims is played by the same actor, who is required to change costumes and shift voices at lightning speed. No less challenging is the role of Monty, who must become ever more likeable even as his crimes mount.
"A musical comedy where you actually root for the murderer, that's rare," says Freedman. "We had to make Monty a character you sympathize with, and you do. That's one of the greatest achievements in the show. The audience cares about him and is on his side, even though he murders people."
In his opening night review for the Times, Charles Isherwood wrote, "Bloodlust hasn't sung so sweetly, or provided so much theatrical fun, since Sweeney Todd first wielded his razor with gusto many a long year ago."
Drawing on the Victorian era of the story, the creators put aside today's vernacular language and popular musical styles. The lyrics are often rhymed and complex and the score is old world, even elegant.
"People have called it an operetta, which is silly," says Lutvak. "But the opening number is in the land of Gilbert and Sullivan, there's a real romanticism that rears its head, and there are many, many words per square inch."
The rapid-fire lyrics and all those fast costume-changes give a manic pacing to the whole show.
"We always intended for the show to move quickly," says Freedman. "One scene goes right into the next, and Monty has like three minutes offstage in the whole show."
"It's a farce with some deep underpinnings," concurs Lutvak. "The comedy has to be fleet, and there are only two ballads. Everything else is 'up-tune.' And even in the ballads there are laughs."
Taking on the role of Monty for the tour is Kevin Massey, who understudied the role on Broadway. The legion of doomed relatives are played by John Rapson. Returning from the Broadway production are director Darko Tresnjak and choreographer Peggy Hickey.
"The show is in wonderful shape, and the leads are both brilliant and a fantastic singers," says Lutvak.
"I'm very proud of this production," says Freedman. "It will be every bit as good as the Broadway show."

His writing has been published by Al Jazeera America, The Intercept, The Guardian,Vice News and beyond.
transcriptSHARMINI PERIES, EXEC. PRODUCER, TRNN: Welcome to the Real News Network. I'm Sharmini Peries coming to you from Baltimore.On Monday TransCanada, that is the company that wants to complete the controversial Keystone XL pipeline that would carry 830,000 barrels of dirty tar sands from Alberta, Canada to U.S. gulf oil refineries, has asked for a delay from the State Department. President Obama has gone on record, as have all the leading Democratic presidential contenders, including Hillary Clinton, that they would veto the project. Is this a victory, as many environmentalists are saying so, or do the various other pipelines that have been built on Obama's watch undermine such a stand?With us to discuss all of this is Steve Horn. He's joining us from Madison, Wisconsin, and he's an investigative journalist. He's also a research fellow at DeSmog Blog. Thanks so much for joining us, Steve.STEVE HORN: Thanks for having me, I appreciate it.PERIES: So first of all, let's clear what this pipeline is all about by just discussing what's the difference between this and the other ones that has already been built.HORN: Yeah. The TransCanada, I think it's often mislabeled and mis-stated what the Keystone XL pipeline is. Because people in Washington, DC, meaning politicians in Congress and also even environmental NGOs often mislabel it as the Keystone pipeline. The Keystone pipeline was actually approved by the Bush administration back in 2008. That is a segment that goes from Alberta tar sands and then downward to various parts of the United States, including, part of it goes to Illinois. Another part of it goes to Cushing, Oklahoma. So there's already a large thing called the Keystone pipeline that's been in existence for seven years.Then there's the Keystone XL southern leg that's now called the Gulf Coast pipeline, that connects to that original Keystone at Cushing and goes down to the Gulf Coast. So TransCanada already, as we speak, has a pipeline that goes from the Alberta tar sands down to the Gulf Coast. So when you see all these news stories popping up in the business press, the mainstream media, and all over the place, you see the Keystone XL described as a pipeline that goes from Alberta down to the Gulf Coast. Well, they already have that. What the Keystone XL is, now, what we're talking about, what's in play in Washington, DC at this point in the State Department is the segment that goes from Alberta and then connects to Cushing. It'd be another segment, because there already is one. So all it is is an extra [inaud.], it would bring even more more tar sands.But that is all to say that there already is quite a bit, from TransCanada's system alone, not to talk--we'll [talk] about Enbridge later. TransCanada's already sending huge amounts of tar sands down to the Gulf Coast, Gulf Coast refineries.PERIES: And this is, you're probably getting this information from the new report that's out from RBN Energy. How much of Canadian crude, especially the [heavy] sands crude, is hitting the Gulf now?HORN: It's a little bit hard to quantify, because companies keep this information close to the chest. But RBN Energy is sort of an intelligence-gathering resource for people who are [invest] in energy. And they put out all kinds of reports. They've put one out, actually, coincidentally on the same exact day as this Keystone XL announcement--the Keystone XL is not even part of the report, which to me is a little bit telling in terms of how much people in the industry and how much investors really care about this northern leg.But the report is, it's mostly about Houston area infrastructure. And really you see--you see, the fact that there are huge amounts, almost unprecedented amounts of oil from Canada and from the U.S. right now hitting the Gulf. So it's always been a lot of oil floating around in the Gulf. Most of it has been imported from other countries. Right now we're seeing record amounts of crude because not only of TransCanada's system, which we discussed, but Enbridge's system. What I've been calling the Keystone XL clone. It's a combination of pipelines that all have different names, but at the end of the day this pipeline system connects, and it's bringing down huge amounts of oil, tar sands oil down to the Gulf. And that's not even to discuss the huge amounts of fracked oil going down to the Gulf.And so today we see a story that lands in the Wall Street Journal, headline being Enbridge is now investing $5 billion in storage down in the Gulf Coast for oil that will hit it, and potentially for oil exports. So Enbridge is--and I think if you look at what the industry is actually doing, it does give, I think, a much more clear picture of what's happening than just--if we only hone in on the Keystone XL pipeline it seems like this huge victory. But if you look at the bigger picture it's pretty, it's obviously a victory in some ways for talking about keeping some tar sands out of pipeline systems. But we can't ignore these developments that are happening and being discussed widely in the business press and in the investor press.PERIES: Now, there's a large body of evidence that point to the fact, and most environmental scientists are saying, what's in the ground must stay in the ground. Building this pipeline will be a step away from that demand on the part of the scientists, and particularly leading up to Paris. And our new Prime Minister in Canada, Justin Trudeau, is taking a large delegation to Paris with him. This is quite different from what the scientists as well as the environmental movement is demanding. You think this is reflective, this request for a pause, is reflective in terms of a shift in environmental policy of the new government?HORN: There's a number of factors at play, and I think one of them that we have to be humble about, at least people who care about the environment and the climate, is that there's only a certain--this is probably the most pessimistic outlook, and then I'll give a more, sort of more positive outlook. But I think the most pessimistic one is that there's only a certain amount of storage that's even available for storing crude oil in the Gulf Coast. And so one could look at this simply as a decision to punt on this piece of a pipeline that just helps sort of keep things stable down in the Gulf for a while. It's already--storage is maximized, and there's really not much of a place to keep this oil. And that's why there's a debate right now in Congress about exporting that oil. That's why Enbridge is now moving to create crude oil export facilities down in the Gulf. So one could say that it's just simply waiting until more infrastructure is in place, and then maybe that will get moving.But I think a more, a less pessimistic outlook is that of course the activism that's taken place in the past four, five years around the Keystone XL northern pipeline, or the leg of it, has been effective. It has stopped it. And four or five years ago it looked like a sure thing. Even back then Hillary Clinton, when she was secretary of state, said that she was very likely to approve that thing. And now she's running as president and saying that she doesn't support it.And so that combined with the new Canadian government in place, and also what you're talking about is that Paris is about to take place, the United Nations climate summit. It would look pretty terrible public relations-wise for the United States or Canada to improve a project like this in the months leading up to the summit. They look like a whole lot more responsible countries going into Paris by putting a halt on this project for now. Especially given the information that came out yesterday in the press, that China is emitting much more carbon in the atmosphere via coal, so it makes the United States and Canada look like more responsible countries than China, so we have geopolitical rivalries at play.There's all kinds of factors. It's hard to pinpoint one. But that is all to say that part of this, of course, is a grassroots victory. And then part of it is a whole, complex array of data that they're dealing with here that makes it hard to say it was only because of grassroots pressure.PERIES: Right. Then finally, given that Hillary Clinton has actually switched her position now, offering to veto such a pipeline, why do you think this shift has taken place?HORN: Well, Hillary Clinton of course is trying to gain support of people who care about the environment as she runs for president in 2016. Lots of those voters right now support Bernie Sanders. Of course, Bernie Sanders, my take is he's probably not going to be around four or five months from now as a serious presidential contender. And so a lot of those people that were supporting Bernie will want somewhere to go. And so Hillary Clinton wants to put herself out there as someone who cares about the environment, who cares about the climate.And of course going back to where this discussion began, Keystone XL northern leg is not quite as important as some would think it is. That's consistently talked about in the business press. There's already tons of crude oil hitting the Gulf Coast, record amounts. So it's not really all that bold a position for Hillary Clinton to take. And if it was my take is that she wouldn't be taking this stance. Basically, [inaud.] I see it as mostly a cynical political maneuver on her part to shore up her environmental base as she gathers steam for her presidential campaign in 2016.PERIES: All right, Steve. I thank you so much for joining us today.HORN: Thanks for having me.PERIES: And thank you for joining us on the Real News Network.

Halfway through this college baseball season, home runs are down. So are runs scored and batting averages. So a dumb question to ask a college baseball hitter is: Do you like the new bats?
"No," Vanderbilt slugger Curt Casali said. "It is what it is. We got to use what they give us. I'd rather it be these bats than the bats they've been using for the past two years. We've seen the top of the spectrum and the bottom of it."
Feelings are mixed about the new metal bats. With a smaller sweet spot, or ideal point of contact, they're more like the wooden bats used in Major League Baseball. The ball also has a lower "exit speed" off the bat, which is a safety issue for pitchers and infielders and ultimately led the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee to pass a temporary ban on composite-barrel bats after the 2009 season.
That season, during the Division I national tournament, 20 of 25 bats the NCAA selected for "Ball Exit Speed Ratio" certification tests failed. With repeated use, the composite barrels would soften, leading to a trampoline effect that had the ball coming off the bat at a speed that violated NCAA standards. Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin said the bats were tampered with so much they took the form of "nuclear weapon."
"Those bats, before they fixed them, were pretty ridiculous, and something needed to be done. Anyone that tells you otherwise isn't being truthful," Vanderbilt hitting coach Josh Holliday said. "There were some swings and some balls that weren't how baseball was meant to be played. I think it is back to a more fair game and a safer game and I think that is probably why changes were made."
While offensive production is down, local players and coaches agree the game is safer.
"The ball was exiting off the barrel so fast that somebody was going to get hurt — a pitcher," Middle Tennessee State coach Steve Peterson said. "I think definitely a pitcher has better reaction time."
Pitchers aren't just benefiting from the safety standpoint. A report released by the NCAA two weeks ago compared numbers at the midpoint this season to last year's. Home runs per game dipped from 0.85 to 0.47. There was a decrease in runs scored per game (6.98 to 5.63) and overall batting average (.301 to .279). On the flip side, earned run average dropped from 5.83 in 2010 to 4.62 so far in 2011. Plus, the number of shutouts have taken a huge jump from 277 to 444.
"Obviously, from a pitcher [standpoint], we love the new bats," Vanderbilt reliever Will Clinard said. "The ball doesn't jump as much as it has. It gives the pitchers a little room for error."
Coaching styles also had to be tweaked. Bunts and hit-and-runs are more evident and appear to be beneficial to programs like Vanderbilt, which feed off small ball.
"I think it is very conducive for a program like [Vanderbilt's] where they play a lot of pressure offense," said Belmont coach Dave Jarvis. "Tim [Corbin] has always been a very good teacher of the small game. I think the bats are going to actually enhance a team like that, with that philosophy, to help them because it minimizes some of the gorilla ball, especially in the SEC, where programs just played hold-back-and-wait for a three-run home run."
Power hitters have had to adapt, too. Vanderbilt's Jason Esposito has seen his power numbers decrease. Heading into last weekend, he had 27 RBIs but just two home runs and a slugging percentage of .438. Last year, he led the team with 64 RBIs, 94 hits and a .599 slugging percentage and 12 home runs, the second-most for Vanderbilt. Casali can relate. While he has 11 doubles, just two shy of all of last year, he has only two home runs. He finished 2010 with eight.
"Obviously, they don't have as much pop as the old bats," Casali said. "You're splitting hairs when you compare them to wood bats. But it's a safety thing. We want to keep the fielders and pitchers safe. We don't need their heads to get taken off."
Still, Vanderbilt's Aaron Westlake and Middle Tennessee State's Will Skinner don't seem fazed by the new bats. Westlake had five home runs, 12 doubles 27 RBIs, a .397 batting average and a .627 slugging percentage. Skinner had eight homers, eight doubles, 24 RBIs, a .352 batting average and a .617 slugging percentage.
"Skinner has hit some balls that will go out anywhere," said Peterson, who's been at MTSU for 24 years. "He has power. Westlake has hit balls that will go out anywhere. So if you can hit, you can hit. It's like a wood bat — you have to hit it right on the nose. Whereas the bats of the past, you didn't have to be as precise."

Mother 3 "The Fall of the Pig King" (called Earthbound 64 in the US) is scheduled to show at Nintendo's Space World in Japan later on this week. In the meantime, though, Famitsu Weekly has released a few interesting tid-bits on the battle system for the game and a handful of new screenshots (one of which we've posted). So, here's the latest:
The fighting system appears to take place in first-person style showing only the enemies (a la Quake), keeping the fighting system from the original Mother games intact. An on-screen menu display enables players access to all of the following: Check, Items, Stand, Fight, Strength and Magic. Gamers will be able to use the energy of their surroundings to cast more powerful magic. However, if magic is used too often, the head of the spellcaster will overheat, incapacitating him for a short time.
In traditional RPG fashion, gamers can pull off a variety of different attack patterns, such as running in and firing off multiple hits on opponents if timing is dead-on.
Famitsu also revealed four of the characters that to be introduced: The Father, the Twins Luca, Krause and the dog Bony.
IGN64 will have more on Mother 3 (Earthbound 64) later this week. Stay tuned.

"Fabulous creativity"
I like all three formats of books: audio, paperback and Kindle. That said, I prefer audio books nowadays as I have more to do and less time to do it.
Future Tense takes place in the near future . The combination of a possible future with a fantasy element worked together beautifully and I liked being given a glimpse of a world which I may come to experience, myself. I've read all three books in Eddie Upnick's trilogy ( Future Tense being book 2 ). The trilogy tells an amazing story over the course of several generations. The fast paced action will keep all readers interested in every word.
So many, it's hard to choose. However, Jake opening the Galactic Book of Knowledge, and Vito's "High Noon" moment with a Kraz killer in central Africa were my favorites..
The kids - Jake and Lola - being so serene when they were threatened by the Russian surgeon who was about to operate on their brains and their rescue.
Future Tense is a fast and entertaining read. My family felt these books would make amazing graphic novels. I see four movies in these three books.
"A Great Listen"
Yes. I enjoyed this book so much when I was listening to it in the car that I missed my exit! The book was filled with action and adventure---and it was skillfully narrated.
When Vito rescued the remaining souls from the planet Saskia by entering another dimension.
Same as above.
Yes, see first entry.

Seattle Weekly
Belickis is still an envelope-pushing cook, and Mistral Kitchen's ever-changing menu is representative of this, offering many secret tricks and high-tech evolutions which, on the plate, taste like nothing more than some of the best food you've ever eaten.
Seattle Weekly
I had just been served my first great meal in Seattle. Not just decent, not merely good enough, but truly great…The crudo had been wonderful, the charcuterie so smartly chosen…the whipped and butter-jacked purée of potatoes arrived in their small, white bowl…Mistral Kitchen's short rib is the standard by which all other entrees will be measured…It was my first love in the city of Seattle, the first instant I knew for sure that there would be greatness and adventures to be had here.
Seattle Magazine
With gleaming design, top-flight equipment and talented people, Belickis has created the ultimate chef's playground…his food is marvelous. His scrupulous cooking makes for dishes with a crystalline, almost gem-like appeal—no murky flavors here, no overuse of butter or fat to blur the edges of a less-than-perfect dish. On one night, Belickis built our Jewel Box meal into a crescendo, each plate more satisfying than the next.
Northwest Palate
Chef William Belickis is back, and his cuisine is as dazzling as ever…The dinner menu features elevated bistro fare—from soups and composed salads to crudos, gratins, and coq au vin. The best seats are at the kitchen-side counter, or reserve the intimate Bijou private room…where you'll feel like the pearl in an oyster.
Seattle Magazine
A unique way to impress out-of-town guests, this table offers a front-seat view of chef William Belickis and his team preparing delicacies that might include hamachi crudo with shaved red-and-white French breakfast radishes, striped bass with escarole, or an over-the-top, decadent plate of rabbit loin wrapped in rabbit belly, with seared foie gras, pancetta and green beans. Included in the experience is a private cocktail demonstration with mixologist Andrew Bohrer…and a parade of refined, not-too-sweet dessert creations by arguably the most notable pastry chef in the city, Neil Robertson.
Seattle Metropolitan
Mistral Kitchen is a knockout. Belickis's multicourse extravaganzas remain a heady thrill for food snobs—but here, amid the buzz and visual exhilaration of that stunning main room, his food has finally found a showcase for the rest of us…on our weeknight visit, it was vital as a heartbeat. Urban sophisticates slammed the place…They may be drawn by the inventive cocktails and an admirably wide-ranging wine list. But I suspect a bigger reason is that Kundig's forthright design and Belickis's down-to-earth, affordable menu together deliver a single clear message.
Seattle Times
The a la carte menu is frequently tweaked, but count on finding up to two dozen plates ranging from crudo, fresh oysters and foie gras to clay-oven baked chops and steaks, as well as the world's most sublime mashed potatoes. "Potatoes Robuchon" is a faithful reproduction of the pot I swooned over at L'Atelier in New York. Just as sinfully seductive was foie gras mousse tucked beneath a sweet film of pear and riesling gelée. Each bite rippled with the bitter chocolate crunch of cacao nibs and a burst of salt. Deep-cupped Kusshi oysters dabbed with orange-chili granita startled the palate with its piercingly clear flavors.
Seattle Metropolitan
Restaurant Preview, December 2009
The food, the ambience, everything sort of fits together and a magic happens. You never forget it for the rest of your life.

The Chase Sapphire credit card is a 1% cashback card with a sexy name and a not-so-exciting sign-up bonus, so it's not getting a great review from us.
Chase Sapphire Credit Card Rewards
Here's a quick table summarizing some of the key features of the Chase Sapphire credit card:
|Base Rewards
|1 point (cent) per dollar spent (1% cashback). 2 points per dollar spent on restaurants.
|Special Rewards
|Earn an additional 1 point per dollar spent (total of 2 points) on airfare and hotel when you use the Chase's Travel Booking Tool (Ultimate Rewards). Earn up to 10 points per dollar when you shop at the Ultimate Rewards Mall.
|Redemption requirements
|Cash back or statement credit.
|Sign up bonus
|10,000 points (equal to $100) after you spend $500 within the first 3 months of card activation.
|Rewards expiration
|Rewards Caps
|Annual Fee
|International Transaction Fee
|3.0% of each transaction after conversion to USD
GetDebit's Final Assessment of the Chase Sapphire Credit Card
So really the most appealing aspect of the Chase Sapphire card (and it ain't that appealing) is the 10,000 point signup bonus (technically a spend-range bonus, as you need to spend $500 within 3 months of card activation to earn the bonus), worth $100. If you are looking for a day-in day-out rewards workhorse, you should check out the Chase Freedom Card. If you want to branch out beyond just Chase cards, have a look at the Discover Escape Credit Card and the American Express Blue Cash Preferred Credit Card.

U.S. prosecutors say two men are charged with conspiring to commit money laundering by selling more than $1 million in Bitcoins to users of the black market website Silk Road, which lets users buy illegal drugs anonymously.
- New Silk Road drug bazaar opens a month after FBI bust
- Bitcoin will bounce back from Silk Road scandal, users say
- Why are Canadians buying Bitcoin?
Authorities say Charlie Shrem was arrested Sunday at New York's Kennedy Airport while Robert Faiella was arrested Monday at his Florida home.
Prosecutors say in a news release that Faiella sold Bitcoins to users seeking to buy illegal drugs on the site.
They say Shrem bought drugs on Silk Road and helped Faiella exchange more than $1 million in cash for Bitcoins so they could make illegal purchases.
It wasn't immediately clear who would represent Faiella and Shrem in court.

Eighteen years have passed since Bonnie Raitt joined Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, and other musical luminaries at the legendary "No Nukes" concert at Madison Square Garden. And while many of her way-back-when peers who also performed at that show have since suffered artistic or commercial setbacks -- see Jackson Browne, Carly Simon, the Doobie Brothers -- the red-haired roots-rock diva has demanded that Father Time treat her right.
In what was billed as the largest anti-nuclear concert since then, Raitt and the cause-obsessed Indigo Girls journeyed to the nation's capital to protest the burial of nuclear waste on Native American land. The crowd was also treated to several surprises -- a weathered-looking Browne kicked off the evening with an impromptu, three-song set and pop-folksinger Beth Nielsen Chapman hopped onstage for what seemed like every other song -- but the evening's most satisfying moments came when Raitt curled her whiskey-n-smoke-solid voice around one of her trademark slide-guitar licks.
In a daring, potentially disastrous move, Raitt opened her portion of the show with an a cappella version of Chapman's new "Color of Roses." "It's gonna take a lot of ovaries for me to sing this in front of the woman who wrote it," Raitt laughed nervously. "But Beth, I love you." Raitt treated the dirge-like song with solemn respect, conveying more emotion at 48 than she could have at 30.
As the crowd erupted -- some even stood for a shrieking ovation -- Raitt invited her three-man backing band (drums, bass, piano) onstage, strapped on a guitar, and ripped into the old Aretha Franklin standard, "Baby I Love You." If that wasn't steamy enough, she followed it with a slowed-down bump-and-grind version of "The Road's My Middle Name." "Ooh, this is getting sooo slinky," Raitt purred during her solo, directing her power poses and double entendres at husband Michael O'Keefe. She later tore into Robert Johnson's "Walkin' Blues," then slipped casually into the obligatory "Thing Called Love." For an encore, Raitt invited the Indigo Girls, Chapman, and Native American singing group Ulali onstage to join her on "Angel From Montgomery" and the Buffy Sainte-Marie classic "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee."
