My brother and I just moved into an apartment in a converted mill in Vermont. The high ceilings and big windows are great, but the baseboard heating is expensive and the hanging white plastic blinds (venetian?) don't keep out cold or light.
I want to hang some big black drapes. 10' by 6'. I'm envisioning a really thick velevety material that will insulate and help provide some solar heating (the window's face south) but I don't know where to find the material. I went into Joann's Fabric store and their stuff was all expensive. They don't have to be brand new, as long as I can clean them up.
Any ideas where to get big pieces of felty black cloth?
Have you considered using a dye on whatever fabric you can find?
Tom in KY, maybe a little Grecian Formula on some gray material.
Use an area rug. You should be able to find some at flea markets and just spray paint them. The heavier material will be a better insulator also.
Hi Baptist, you can try looking through some of the online fabric stores such as http://www.pmquilting.com/ and http://www.fabricplace.com/scripts/jobs.asp.
Good luck!
Go to Durasol.com and find a local dealer for a vertical interior/exterior awning. Hundreds of choices in fabric and automated also.
DO a Google search on "insulated drapes" hundreds of sites come up. Wal-Mart even has them.

Forgive Me3 Reviews
He sighed and once more replayed the event in his head. He remembered everything so clear, especially the hurt look in her eyes. He could've died when he saw that look. He remembered thinking about...
Disclaimer: I don't own Class of the Titans or the song Forgive Me by Evanescence. I just own my story ideas.
Jay and Theresa had been spending lots of time together lately. They hadn't been going on 'dates' but one wouldn't know that just by looking at them. For the last two weeks they had gotten closer and closer. Things seemed so perfect... too perfect. So it was inevitable that it would soon end...
The two came in the front door around ten at night; they had gone out to see a movie. The others, not wanting to stay in on a Friday night went out as well, each off doing their own thing. The two were just glad for the silence. But lately it had been a little too quiet.
" I just love this!" Theresa exclaimed, plopping down on the couch, still laughing giddily from the movie they had seen.
" What's that?" Jay asked, also laughing.
Theresa rolled onto her stomach, placed her elbows on the arm of the couch and rested her chin on her hands. " The peace and quiet. It's just so... nice."
" Yeah it is." Jay agreed, heading into the kitchen for some drinks.
" It's just so great that we get to hang out like this. Not a care in the world." Theresa said dreamily as she closed her eyes.
Jay came back in from the kitchen, glasses of water in hand and smiled. He handed one of the glasses to Theresa and leaned against the doorframe. Something seemed to be troubling him and Theresa picked that up right away.
" What's wrong?" she asked, knowing him all too well.
" Oh it's nothing." Jay said, trying to hide his uneasiness.
" Come on Jay. I know you better than that. Tell me." Theresa pouted, sitting up now and facing him.
" It's been great hanging out with you and the peace and quiet but..." Jay trailed off.
" But... what?" Theresa asked, seeing the worried look in her leader's eyes.
" It's been too quiet. Don't you think?" Jay said.
" No. I think it's a nice change from our normally chaotic lives." Theresa stated, falling back onto the couch cushions.
" But Cronus must be planning something big. He hasn't caused any trouble lately." Jay mused.
" Maybe he's given up." Theresa said with a laugh, trying to lighten the mood.
" Theresa I don't think that-" But he was cut off.
" Jay you need to lighten up. It's called wishful thinking." Theresa said, giggling some more.
" I'm just worried that's all. It seems like things have been just too good lately." he said.
" Well haven't you been having fun?" Theresa asked, sitting up, a hopeful look in her eyes.
" Yeah, but..." Jay trailed off again, not looking at his companion.
" But..." Theresa urged him to continue.
" I don't we should do this anymore." Jay stated slowly, each word hurting him, but not as much as they hurt Theresa.
" What? Have fun?" Theresa asked, forcing a laugh to hide the pain she now felt.
" No. Hang out like this. We're just too vulnerable. If Cronus were to attack... I just think we should stay on our toes." Jay said, still avoiding Theresa's gaze.
" Oh." Theresa said quietly, tears forming in her eyes.
" Theresa I'm sor-"
" No Jay. It's okay. You're right. We need to be ready in case Cronus attacks." she said as she stood up and headed up the stairs.
Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you.
Jay heaved a sigh then sat on the couch, right about the time the others all came back. Everyone was chatting happily and either went upstairs to their rooms or headed for the kitchen. Archie however saw Jay and went to talk to him.
" Hey man. How was your date with Theresa?" he asked, drawing out the word 'date' as slowly as possible.
" It was okay." Jay replied absent mindedly.
" Okay? Just okay? What's wrong? When ever you go out with Theresa you're always grinning like a fool for the entire night." Archie said.
" I blew it. Big time." Jay sighed.
" What'd you do?" Archie asked.
" I'm not really sure. Everything was great then I said that we should stay on our toes about Cronus then she left." Jay admitted, oblivious to what he had done wrong.
" There's your problem." Archie said with an all knowing smirk.
" What?" Jay asked, still not getting it.
" You and Theresa were having a great time then you went and killed that by talking about Cronus and being all serious." Archie said, laying it out painfully clear.
" Well we should be looking for anything suspicious. He hasn't attacked in a while. He must be planning something big." Jay tried to reason.
" No wonder Theresa left. We all know that Jay but... you have Cronus on the brain twenty four seven!" Archie said.
" I do n-"
" Yes you do." Archie cut him off.
" Well how do I fix this?" Jay asked, not really to Archie but he was open for suggestions.
" Can't help you there Jay. I try to avoid the Drama Queen as much as possible." Archie said as he went into the kitchen.
Jay sighed and then headed upstairs, replaying his talk with Theresa over and over in his mind, trying to figure out how he could fix things. He still had no clue what he was supposed to do. It wasn't everyday that he was faced with a choice like that. Eventually he fell into a restless sleep.
The next morning came quickly, as did all the others. Jay was always up early, even on weekends. He grabbed some coffee and headed to roof. He still had some thinking to do. He sat on the edge of the roof and watched the sun rise.
'I really loved spending time with Theresa but... I just didn't want to risk her getting hurt. Yet the more I try to protect her from Cronus the more I push her away and then... she just gets hurt anyways. I can fight an evil god bent on destroying the world so why can't I face Theresa?' He was lost in his thoughts, which only seemed to be confusing him more than he already was.
He sighed and once more replayed the event in his head. He remembered everything so clear, especially the hurt look in her eyes. He could've died when he saw that look. He remembered thinking about how he should say it, but any way that he could've worded it, it still would've come out wrong. He really hated hurting her but if it was to save her from something worse then... was it justified?
I heard the words
I felt like I would die
It hurt so much to hurt you
Jay was so deep in thought that he didn't hear someone come out onto the roof after him. The figure sat beside him and stared out at the city. Just watching the early morning sun chase away all the shadows.
" Couldn't sleep either?" a sweet voice asked.
Jay was snapped out of his thoughts and turned to face the person he was looking for but also trying to avoid. " Hey Theresa. Uhh, no. You?" he said after a moment of silence.
" It's the first day of spring. I never sleep in on the first day of spring. I just have to see the sun rise." she replied, her eyes scanning the horizon as the great orange ball rose slowly.
" Uhh, Theresa. About last night..." Jay trailed off, not really sure what he was going to say.
" Yeah?" Theresa watched as he tried to gather his thoughts.
" I've really had fun but..." he trailed off again.
" Look Jay, you made it clear last night. It's okay."
" No it's not. I just... want to make sure that you're okay."
" I'm fine. I had fun too but, all good things must come to an end."
" Theresa, there is nothing more I'd like to do then to just hang out with you and have fun-"
" Then what's the problem?" Theresa asked, her voice rising slightly.
" I just don't want you to get hurt."
" How would I? In case Cronus attacks? I can take you of myself you know."
" I'm just afraid that he might go after you if-"
" If what? He comes after all of us. You and me hanging out won't change that Jay."
" Theresa I really care about you. But-"
" If you care about me then why don't you want to be with me?"
" Because. If Cronus found out then he'd use you against me." Jay said standing up and running a hand through his hair.
" Jay I don't need to be treated like a child! I can hold my own as much as any one else." Theresa said, on the urge of shouting and crying.
" Because. If you care about someone you have to let them go." Jay said sadly, averting his eyes from Theresa's.
" No you don't. If you care about someone then you do all you can to keep them. You don't give up and let them walk away." Theresa said before heading to the door.
She stopped and turned to look at Jay. It was silent for a moment.
" I'm walking Jay. This is your last chance to stop me." her voice was softer.
" I'm sorry but... I can't." he replied, regretting each word as soon as they left his mouth.
Theresa turned and headed back to her room, tears streaking her face. Her heart had just been shattered into a thousand pieces that couldn't be put back together again. Well, not without help.
Jay was left on the roof, staring at the door.
Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken
Jay slumped to the ground and sat there. In his mind he knew that he had made the right choice, but in his heart... he had made the biggest mistake of his life. He tried to tell himself that it was for the best, that she'd thank him later. But, no matter how many times he said it, it still felt so wrong.
" What's with Theresa?" a voice asked from the doorway.
Jay lifted his head and turned towards the person, his eyes turning red from uncried tears.
" What's wrong with you?"
" It's nothing Atlanta." Jay said, turning back to stare into the depths of his half empty coffee mug.
" Riiight. It's nothing. Jay I may not be a genius like Odie but I know when something's wrong with one of my friends." Atlanta said, walking over to Jay and taking a seat next to him.
" I just wish that she'd understand." Jay muttered, more to himself than to her.
" Who?" Atlanta asked, pretty sure that she already knew the answer.
Jay sighed but he didn't answer. How could he? He didn't even know anymore.
Theresa had locked her door and flung herself onto her bed. She had been there only seconds when a knock came to her door.
" Go away!" she shouted, her words muffled by her pillow.
" Where's Atlanta?" the familiar voice of Archie floated through the door.
" Go away!" she shouted again, just wanting to be left alone in her misery.
" Jeez, what's wrong with you?" Archie asked.
" Just leave me alone." Theresa choked out between sobs.
Archie, hearing the pain in her voice, took a risk and slowly turned the doorknob. Finding it locked, he knocked again.
" I said leave me alone!"
" Theresa let me in." Archie said.
" Go away Archie!"
" Not until you tell me what's wrong." Archie said.
" Like you care!" Theresa yelled.
" As unbelievable as it is... I do." Archie said, his voice sincere and worried.
He heard moving in Theresa's room and the door's lock click open. Then the door was opened a crack and the tear worn face of Theresa peeked through.
" Can I come in?" he asked, he couldn't just leave her crying in her room all day.
Theresa gave a small nod then moved away from the door and let Archie in. He closed the door behind him and sat on the end of her bed. Theresa had buried her face in her pillow again.
" What happened?" Archie asked cautiously, not really sure how to deal with Theresa, or any girl for that matter, when they're like that.
" Did Jay send you?" Theresa asked coldly.
" No. I was passing by and heard crying. I may be heartless at times but I can't stand to see any girl cry." Archie confessed.
" Why does he have to be so confusing? He says that he wants to be with me but he can't because of Cronus. Why can't he just choose? If he doesn't want to be with me then he should've said what he did. And if he does then he shouldn't let Cronus stop him!" Theresa vented, while Archie listened.
" He just doesn't want you to get hurt." Archie said in Jay's defense.
" I can hold my own just like the rest of you." Theresa said, by now she was sitting up beside Archie.
" He knows that, but... if anything ever happened to you he'd never forgive himself." Archie said.
" Was I right?" Theresa asked, catching Archie completely off guard.
" Right to what?" Archie asked.
" Right to walk away. I gave him a chance to stop me but.... he didn't he just let me walk." she said in a low voice.
Archie wrapped his arms around Theresa and pulled her into a hug. He didn't really know how to comfort someone, especially Theresa, in a state like this. But, he did know that hugs were always the best way to go. Apparently his logic was right because Theresa thanked him and told him that Atlanta had gone to the roof.
I'd give anything now
To hear those words from you
When Atlanta had failed to get an answer from Jay she sighed and headed back into the house. On her way down she ran into Archie coming out of Theresa's room. He hadn't seen her so he jumped when she said his name.
" Playing a prank on Theresa?" she asked, knowing him all to well.
" No. Actually I was talking to her." Archie replied, surprising his spunky red haired companion.
" Seriously? Why?" Atlanta asked, not really believing him.
" She was upset so I tried to comfort her." Archie stated as he walked down the hall to his room.
Before Atlanta could get out another word, the door to the roof opened and Archie pulled Atlanta into his room.
" I need your help." he said.
" What for?" Atlanta asked, taking a seat on his computer chair and spinning around a few times.
" We need to fix things between Jay and Theresa." Archie said.
" Since when do you want to do anything to help Theresa?" Atlanta asked, raising an eyebrow.
" Look I have my reasons. Believe it or not but I don't hate her and if she's miserable then she'll make the rest of us miserable." he replied.
" Well what are we going to do? And what exactly are we fixing?" Atlanta asked.
Archie explained his plan and told Atlanta what Theresa had told him.
Theresa had come out of her room around noon and had gone down to the kitchen. The house had been relatively quiet all day so she figured the others had gone out. So, she was quite surprised to find Jay sitting in the kitchen. When Theresa entered the room he glanced up at her but then cast his glance down.
" We can't avoid each other forever." Theresa said as she opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water.
" I know but..." Jay trailed off again, he was having a hard time gathering his thoughts lately.
" Jay we're still friends. We need to work together to stop Cronus. And in order for that to happen we have to talk to each other." Theresa said, leaning against the counter.
" I just don't want to say anything else that will make you hate me." Jay muttered to himself but Theresa still heard it.
" Jay I don't hate you. I still care about and nothing will change that but... you need to make a choice." Theresa said.
" What do you mean?"
" You can either have me and trust that nothing bad will happen or... you can keep thinking that something bad will happen and let me walk away." Theresa said, closing her eyes to stop any tears from falling.
" I can't make a choice like that Theresa. It's crazy!" Jay said.
" Well you have to. I need to know Jay." Theresa said.
" Then..." he paused and lowered his eyes 'Either way I lose her. I'll either push her away or Cronus will take her away. I have to do what's best for her. Even if it hurts. I just couldn't stand losing her.', " I'm sorry."
Theresa just walked out of the kitchen and disappeared around the corner. And Jay was once again left regretting his words.
Each time I say something I regret
I cry "I don't want to lose you"
But somehow I know
That you will never leave me, yeah
Over the next few days both Jay and Theresa avoided each other like the plague. Neither of them wanted to face the pain again. But no matter how hard they tried, they always seemed to bump into each other.
In class Jay would always find himself looking over to Theresa. His heart would always break because he would see that hers was already broken... and it was all because of him.
He really wanted to be with her but he just couldn't risk it. He'd die if anything happened to her. He just kept telling himself that it was for the best. That he made the right decision. That it wasn't a mistake.
But again his head was telling him one thing and his heart was telling him the opposite. By the end of it all he was so confused that he couldn't think straight about anything. Little did he know that Theresa felt the same way.
Her head kept telling her that she should just accept it and move on. That she had made the right decision in making him choose. But her heart, her heart told her not to accept it. Not to go down without a fight and not to let go so easily.
'But he made the choice. He could've stopped me but he just let me go. He chose to let me walk. Why can't I just move on and forget this? Why do I feel like this is all so wrong? Why is this driving me so crazy? Why does love have to be so complicated?' Theresa's thoughts distracted her all night and engulfed her dreams all night.
Jay's thoughts were also along those lines. He found himself wondering all the same things. He just wished that Cronus was gone so that he could be with her. 'Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Maybe this is how we're supposed to be... just friends. Who am I kidding? It's not supposed to be this way! Why am I so afraid?'
Jay had made up his mind. He knew that he had to follow his heart, it was the only thing making sense. He knew that he needed to tell Theresa how he really felt. There was just one problem. Every time he tried everything just came out wrong and his heart let his mind take over. No matter how good his intentions he'd always be hurting her.
He knew that he had to try everything to make her see how much she meant to him. If only he could find the right words.
'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me
Before long a week had passed. No Cronus yet, just peace and quiet. Jay and Theresa were both wrecks; they still hadn't talked to each other. In fact the two had been excused from classes, by Hera, so that they could get some rest. Though neither got any rest.
Theresa sat on the roof. She usually could untangle and sort through all her thoughts up there but it was so different then. Now all she could think about was Jay. She heaved a pain-filled sigh leaned back in her patio chair. How she wished things could go back to normal, well as normal as their lives were.
With no Cronus to fight, she and Jay had only been drifting further apart. There was no longer, well for the time being, nothing to force them together. They were both taking the easy way out, though to them it seemed to be unbearable.
Both Theresa and Jay had it set in their minds that they were right, and that they had made the right decision. Who knew that the right thing could be so hard?
" Ugh!" Theresa yelled at nothing.
She just wished that she could shut off her emotions and think clearly. They were blocking her judgement and it was driving her up the wall. She picked up the book she was going to attempt to read and chucked it across the roof top. It hit the far side of the roof with a 'thud'. Theresa crossed her arms over her chest and turned away from the book, as if it were the source of all her problems.
You never really think about what life would be like if you'd never met someone or if they just disappeared one day until they're gone. That's how Theresa felt. She wished she could control what was happening. She hated feeling powerless.
Jay was also home that day. He sat at the island in the kitchen. He had heard the 'thud' on the roof but made no effort to go see what it was. He just couldn't be around Theresa. As much as he wanted to be so close to her, he just couldn't. He was afraid that he'd make an even bigger mess of things.
He decided that he should eat something that day so he took out some left over spaghetti from the night before, Archie and Atlanta had made it, and put it in the microwave. If he hadn't been so out of it he might have realized that he forgot to take off the aluminum foil that was used to cover the spaghetti.
He put in the time and went to sit back at the island. As soon as he sat down a loud 'BANG' echoed through the air, accompanied by sparks and a small explosion.
Theresa had closed her eyes and was in a nice peaceful state when she heard it. A loud 'BANG'. She jumped up out of her chair and the only thing that went through her mind was: 'Jay!'
She raced down the three flights of stairs and was welcomed by a grey smoke at the bottom. She coughed a few times and tried to clear the smoke away but it didn't work.
" Jay?" she called out, completely forgetting all her mixed emotions, for now there was only one; fear.
When she didn't receive an answer she started to panic. " Jay? Jay?" she called again.
Stumbling through the smoke she found the kitchen doorway and tried her best to see through the haze that filled the air. Theresa saw a dark figure lying on the ground. She quickly opened the side door, beside the fridge, and then dropped to his side.
" Jay? Jay? Can you hear me?" she called, shaking his shoulders.
" Hmmmm..... Theresa?" Jay mumbled, then coughed a few times.
Theresa hugged him as the smoke slowly left the house.
" Are you okay? What happened?" she asked, concern written in her eyes and lacing her shaky voice.
" I'll be fine but I can't say the same for Athena's microwave." Jay said with a small laugh.
Theresa smiled and helped him up. She made sure that he wasn't hurt and then slapped his arm.
" Ow! What was that for?" he asked, looking at her with pure shock on his face.
" You scared the hell out of me! I thought something horrible had happened!" Theresa shouted.
" I didn't think you cared like that anymore." Jay said in a low voice.
" Jay, I... I still care about you. When I heard that explosion...I thought the worst. And if anything did happen... I just wouldn't be able to live without you." Theresa said in a small voice.
I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive
" Now do you get why I can't be with you?" Jay asked, regaining his thoughts which were now, more or less, in order.
" Is that... did you do this just to prove something?" Theresa asked, anger in her voice.
" What? No! But what you felt... that's how I'd feel everyday." Jay said.
Theresa groaned, sometimes he could be so frustrating.
" Jay... I can't do this." she said.
" Do what?" he asked, confused.
" I can't not see you everyday. It's completely screwing up everything! Why is everything so different now?" she replied, looking him right in the eyes, looking for her Jay.
" I know what you mean. It's like torture." Jay admitted.
" Then why can't we be together?" she asked, her eyes begging to be clear of confusion.
" Theresa we just can't. I don't want to lose you. If Cronus ever found out-"
" Jay! Would you stop it already. If you don't want to lose me then stop pushing me away. And who cares if Cronus finds out? Remember what Hermes said? Our strength comes from being a team. With us like this our team, not to mention the world, is doomed. Jay I can't live like this anymore." Theresa said, her eyes watering.
" I'm sorry but I'm not going to take that risk. If anything every happened..."
" Stop. Just stop. Stop with all the ifs and all the doubts. Jay do you care about me?"
" Theresa I-"
" Just answer please. Do you care about me?"
" Of course I do but-"
" But nothing. Why are you letting Cronus have this... this power over you? If you care about and he found out about that then wouldn't he use me against you anyways, whether or not we were together?"
" Theresa. It's not that simple." Jay said.
" Well I'm going to make it simple. Jay I need to know for real. Do you or don't you care about me? If you do then you wouldn't let anything keep you away from me. If you don't then..." she trailed off.
" I want to be with you Theresa. Believe me. But-"
" Then stay. Stay here with me." Theresa said, her eyes pleading with him.
" I..." Jay stopped himself.
He noticed in Theresa's eyes something that he'd never seen there before. It was fear. He could just tell by her eyes that it was eating away at her, and he knew how that felt. The two stood there for the longest time, just looking into each others eyes. Their eyes were the only things that showed how they really felt.
So stay with me
You look in my eyes
And I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry
" Please Jay." she whispered so softly that it wasn't audible.
" Theresa..." Jay started but stopped.
He looked into her eyes again and he just couldn't hurt her anymore. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. She felt so safe in his arms, the safest she had felt in a long time.
" Can you forgive me for being such an idiot?" Jay asked in a whisper.
" No." Theresa said making Jay pull out of the hug and look at her questioningly.
" But..." Jay was really confused now.
" But, we can start over and forget all of this." she finished with a smile.
Jay pulled Theresa close to him and kissed her. She kissed him back, deepening the kiss. The two stood there for awhile, held in each other's brace. Theresa had her arms draped around Jay's neck and Jay had his arms wrapped around Theresa's waist.
Neither of them had felt so happy and full of joy in what seemed like centuries.
" Jay?" Theresa asked when they ended their kiss.
" Yeah?" he asked, resting his forehead on hers.
" I think that we should clean all this up before Athena sees it." she laughed.
Jay looked around and realized that Theresa was right. If Athena saw that she would've hit the roof. So Theresa grabbed two brooms and a garbage bag and the two got started.
He looked over at her and saw that all her confusion was gone. And his heart no longer told him he made the wrong choice. Theresa felt the same way too.
Once everything was cleaned up and the kitchen was straightened up the two walked into the living room and collapsed onto one of the couches. Theresa swung her legs up and laid them across Jay's. Then she rested her head on his chest and slowly drifted off to sleep. Jay rested his head atop hers and too found himself able to fall into the world of pleasant dreams once again.
The others came back after school was out and found the two asleep like that. Atlanta pulled Archie aside.
" I guess we didn't need that great plan of yours after all." she said with a smirk.
" Maybe." Archie said with a smirk of his own, leaving Atlanta a little confused.
Things were finally back to normal.
And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
A/N: Okay yes I know such a horrible ending but it's almost two in the morning here and I was home sick today. Well I hope you liked it.

Monday night football
...well it was playing in the background but the focus was wine. Ah yes, wine, its creeping into our lives more and more. We can never get enough of a good thing and wine tasting on a Monday night is a very good thing.
I received an invite from my friend Ryan Hays of Kilter Wines, to join him and some other folks for a wine tasting group he was firing up. How could I refuse? Even better the first get together was to take place in the Audelssa tasting room, my first time there. Great looking space & super comfortable located in downtown Glen Ellen complete with a big ass TV and of course a wine bar. We were joined by 2 others this evening Sean Kircher from Orin Swift - you know they have that little label "the Prisoner" - and local winemaker Erich Bradley from Sojourn and Audelssa. Onto the good stuff the wine...
All bottles were brown bagged, not as in we were getting ready to roll down the street with some Thunderbird for for cheap high, but as in a blind tasting. Highly recommended for anyone to do, results are really interesting, its amazing how much a label can bias our opinions.
The premise for this tasting group is to keep our palates sharp & educate ourselves. By means of guessing things like; varietal, vintage (a rough range really), location (Paso Robles, Sonoma, France etc.)
- Trimbach 2008 Riesling Reserve from Alsace - The nose Petrol and a fruitiness that reminded me of Gewurz & Viognier. I didn't expect the flavor AT ALL I was expecting a fruity more viscous wine. This was super dry and citrusy, a bit like a Satsuma Orange that's currently in season. $19.99 at Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa.
- Saldo 2010 a red blend mostly Zinfandel - Not a huge jammy California fruit bomb, very young but well balanced with good acidity. Berry notes with rose petal and leather, what a combo! It will be interesting to see what this tastes like given some time. A nice daily drinker. $28
- Robert Craig 2009 Affinity Mostly Cab - Light oak, dark red fruits nice mouth-feel, hint of something green on the nose. A nice smooth Bordelaise style wine, not too bombastic. Like the Saldo it needs to lay down for awhile to really hit its stride. $52.98 on the Snobby Wine Club
- Tablas Creek 2005 Tannat - Nose; big prune like aromas, high alcohol, chocolate and mint (reminiscent of Junior Mints), the color is inky dark reminded me of Petite Sirah, this was the toughest one to guess the varietal of, in fact no one did. A big juicy mouthful, ripe tannins and a bit smoky. $40
- Chateau de Pibaron 2005 Bandol Rouge (mostly Mourvedre ) - A bit of the old world stinkiness on the nose is what I was thinking but more appropriately said: slight Brett on the nose smoky; notes of leather and dark fruit; unctuous texture with significant unresolved tanin on the finish. Hold until 2016. $48 bottle barn.
49ers will be the background music at next weeks tasting, until then can anyone help us give the Monday Night Wine Tasting Group a better name?

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Getting schooled outside the classroom
In the fall, she dropped out of her freshman science class at West High School and pushed her educational frontier into cyberspace. Now, she learns concepts such as energy and electrical current through her desktop computer at home, thanks to the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School; VLACS for short.
The virtual classroom has been embraced by Mayor Ted Gatsas, whose enthusiasm prompted him to line up private-sector donors to beef up high school computer labs to accommodate virtual learning. Sometime next week, computer labs in the city's three high schools should be retrofitted and ready for VLACS.
"The stuff I'm learning here, I'm learning in more detail than in class," said Nault, who switched for scheduling reasons.
VLACS is not a video classroom where students watch a teacher in some far-off classroom. Rather, it involves lessons, most of which must be read, enhanced with computer graphics.
For example, a graphic can illustrate the movement of electrons when it comes to electrical current.
A conductivity lesson involves Nault using her cursor to move images of electrical leads over images of various materials.
Nault said she's never learned material so easily. And if she's stumped, she can email or even telephone (so passé) her teacher, who works out of her home in Windham.
"Ten minutes later, I have an answer," Nault said. "That's a lot faster than in school, when I have a question in math, and she (the teacher) has to answer 20 trillion other questions."
Get ready for virtual learning, Manchester. Manchester students are currently enrolled in 555 VLACS courses. The mayor loves the idea. And city businesses have ponied up some $37,000 to jump-start it.
But VLACS will not likely be as easy or transformative as its supporters expect. After all, this is Manchester, where nothing new happens without a fight, and politics is as popular a sport as Central football.
-- Bandwidth. Nault said she doesn't go virtual at West; Internet speeds are too slow. By the time she loads a browser and then VLACS software, she has 15 minutes for a virtual lesson.
Gatsas said he doesn't know the reason for slow Internet speeds.
He said the contributions used to fit up high school computer labs can be used to improve bandwidth.
-- Dropping out. Manchester students don't do too well in the virtual ed world. According to VLACS, only 62 percent of Manchester students completed their VLACS courses, compared to 81 percent statewide.
Steve Kossakoski, chief-executive of VLACS, said he can't explain the discrepancy but hopes the rate may improve with in-school labs.
-- Teacher push back. Teachers' union President Ben Dick said he understands students have different learning styles, and VLACS may work better for some students. But he worries virtual learning will replace traditional classrooms, teachers will lose their jobs, and kids will be forced into a learning style that doesn't work for them.
Most students, he said, need a teacher to keep them on task.
"I'll be willing to bet I interact with students better than the computer screen does," Dick said.
-- Uncertain finances. Right now, there's no reason for the mayor not to love VLACS. A state fund dedicated to charter schools covers the cost of the 555 courses that Manchester students now take, while the city treasury continues to receive state adequacy aid for students taking those courses.
But school officials are good at bean counting, and this won't last forever. Manchester will eventually have to start paying for the virtual courses, which amounts to about $900 for a full-year, one-credit course.
-- Teacher pay. Dick said his labor-oriented concerns would go away if Manchester teachers could teach Manchester kids who opt for VLACS. The 13 full-time VLACS instructors currently each earn $42,400 a year, plus benefits, which equates to the salary of a fifth-year teacher in Manchester.
And Dick said he doesn't like the piecework nature of VLACS pay: A teacher only gets paid when the student completes the course work.
Despite the misgivings, Gatsas remains optimistic.
Give children opportunities, and they will find a way to achieve, he said.
He said the new labs should address the problems dealing with bandwidth and low-completion rates of Manchester students.
"Things will work themselves out," he insists. And he dismissed suggestions the virtual classes would be used to eliminate real classrooms. It's all about giving students different opportunities and options, he said.
Nault said she still likes high school and would never abandon it entirely for her desktop. After all, there is lunch, study hall and unified arts programs, which don't work very well in the digital world, especially the lunch part.
Other advantages of VLACS: The virtual class frees her up for a school study hall, and she works on her lesson whenever she wants. (Sunday morning is a favorite.)
"Not all kids are motivated enough to sit in front of a computer," she said. "It just depends on the teaching style a kid wants."

dining for single in Calgary?
- s
- scabbardgirl Nov 20, 2006 02:35 AM
I'm going to be in Calgary the last week of November. This time, I'm travelling solo. I'm staying out by the COP for some races, but I'll have a car. Could my Calgarian Hounds recommend some places for early dinner that would be comfortable for a woman travelling alone? Usually, I'm with a group, poor athletes, and we tend to stay close to Hotel Village for meals. I'm open to any kind of food.
re: yen
I guess I'm looking for fairly inexpensive food - I'll spend up to $25 for my entire meal (w/beverage). No dietary restrictions, per se, but I'm not really a red meat eater unless it's the only thing available. "Deep fried" is ok, as long it is really "goodness".
Since we're up at the track by about 7am, we get to bed early, thus the need for early dining.
Not too far from COP is a great little Mexican restaurant "Salt & Pepper". Go down Bowfort Road from 16th Avenue. At the four way stop at the bottom of the hill turn right on Bowness Road. Follow Bowness Road into "downtown Bowness" the restaurant is on the right hand side.
I was interviewed for an article in city palate on "solo dining" (addressing both its sociological relevance as well as suggesting some places I like to eat solo), unfortunately it's not available online. Basically any place that has a diner-style "kitchen theatre" counter is not only good for dining solo, but in the case of sushi, eating alone at the counter marks you as a connoisseur and gets you better service, whether you're a man or woman makes no difference.
Restos that are owned and/or managed by women would seem to be very welcoming for women dining alone (right?) and for that I'd suggest Artisan Bistro in Bridgeland and The Coup on 17th SW.
re: John Manzo
Yes, I'm a women who will be dining alone.
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I am not adverse to eating at the counter of "kitchen theatre" restaurants - actually I enjoy it.
Great - that info helps a lot.
For more casual places (these are not fine dining experiences, just good food), i'd suggest the following - all are within a 10-15 minute drive from the Village (except the Coup), without traffic. If you're leaving early on a weeknight (ie 5:00-5:30 sort of range), be prepared for much longer drive times. 16th Ave is a gong show with all the construction.
1. Shikiji - Japanese Noodle House. The Sushi is good, the Noodles even better. Large servings for a decent price, this place is well divided to suit smaller parties, and there are many solo diners who eat here. It's on Center Street, between 15th and 16th Avenue.
2. Tazza - Lebanese Deli - With only four tables, and a very long counter top, this deli is populated with a lot of Bridgeland locals, and quite a few solo diners as well. From the fast-foodish Shwarma and Shish Tawouk, to large and varied platters, it has a wide variety of food at cheap prices in a comfortable atmosphere.
3. Any Vietnamese restaurant. Male, female, as long as you have $$, it's all the same to them :) Saigon Y2K is nearby, and it has large servings at cheap prices. (Crowchild, across from McMahon, East side, between 16th Avenue and 20th Avenue).
4. Big T's BBQ - just off Crowchild and 20th Avenue, same stripmall as Saigon Y2K, across from McMahon, this is Calgary's version of Southern BBQ. It isnt authentic, but it's still decent. Large servings of meat and southern delicacies.
5. I second the Coup as a solo dining place as well (between 9th and 8th Street, North side of 17th Avenue SW).
6. If you want Chinese, Peking Garden (Shaganappi and Varsity Dr) is excellent and near by (just past Market Mall, east side of Shaganappi). I've never dined solo in a Chinese restaurant before, so i can't comment on that aspect. But the food is good.
7. Memorial Dr, between 16th Ave and Crowchild, are a couple places. There's a Heartland Cafe, and there's Extreme Bean. Both serve tasty, hearty, home-cooked meals. Nothing exotic, but fresh organic ingredients, really comfortable and cozy.
Hope that helps.
re: scabbardgirl
It's better than it was this summer, as two lanes are open heading east, but rush hour in Calgary, construction or no, is quite busy.
As for Saigon Y2K, i love their Sate soup. It's thick, and rich in flavour, unlike most places in town that serve it watery, with some chili sauce and chopped peanuts tossed on top.
Based on what you've said, i gather you're a sledder or a luger. Shikiji would probably be the best place to 1. gorge yourself 2. healthy tasty food 3. in your price range, while Tazza and Extreme Bean come a close 2nd.
re: yen
I help with the sledders - too old to slide , moving those sleds around takes some strength and energy :-) But, we're all on a tight budget and are always looking for good places to eat. In Europe, it's a little easier, since the places we stay have breakfast and dinner included in the rate.
Everywhere you all have mentioned sound good to me - I like anything Asian, and if there is a place with good entree-sized salads, I'm in. That's probably why I liked Joey Tomato's in Calgary (a group of us were taken there) - good, big salad and those wonderful Belinis :-)
re: scabbardgirl
Go to Extreme Bean. Their salads are amazing. I usually get the sandwich and salad combo (8.95), and i can't finish it (im a big guy too... that says a lot). The organic greens salad comes with organic greens, a nice dressing of your choice, cranberries, 2 or 3 kinds of nuts, seeds, and other various toppings. For sandwich, tried roasted pork. Yum!
Tazza has a great entree sized salad - chicken shwarama (or beef or falafel) salad, loaded with grilled chicken, greens, tomatos, peppers, etc.. and a great garlic sauce. Cheap at the size for roughly 9 bucks. The platter (salad, meat, pita, dip) is a good deal too if you want a bit more variety.
If you're in on a weekday (M-Thu), Tropika is a Malaysia place half a block down from Shikiji. They have half price satay on those days (75 cents a skewer). Their Roti is good too. It turns out to be a good, tasty, good value Asian meal.
I've eaten alone in Shikiji and felt comfortable.
At Ginger Beef in Brentwood the ginger honey shrimp and Yang Chow fried rice are incredible but don't bother to take them out as the shrimp get soggy quickly.
The Korean BBQ place in the North Hill mall as well as Opa in the Market Mall are other choices that are cheap yet good quality and you won't be the only woman alone. I've had better food at Opa than at sit down restaurants although their Greek salad is variable.
I second Salt and Pepper in Bowness.
re: sharonanne
The Korean Place is Koryo - it's in the food court of North Hill mall (and quite close as well). Sharonanne is bang on in saying the food is good, and cheap. Same with Opa. We often forget the "fast foody" type options here, but a food court certainly does meet your criteria for dining alone, and these two establishments are good.
re: John Manzo
There are no good Gyro's in Canada. Though i still have high hopes for finding one in TO.
Opa is decent. To me, there, it's all about customizing it to fit my needs. I don't like their "pita", so i replace it with extra rice. I ask for the plumpest, juiciest skewer because they do often have meagre meat servings, and i get tzatziki and jalapenos scattered on my rice and potato. It comes out pretty tasty... but i only recommend the lamb and chicken.
I actually dont like their fries... that lemon juice-rosemary sauce does not appeal to me.
I only ever have calamari and a Greek salad at Opa now. I've paid a ton more and gotten a lot less crispy, tender squid elsewhere, actually in Greece now I think about it. LOL
The rest of the family seems to like the skewers. I don't think any of us have tried the fries.
Thought of another great, but overlooked restaraunt in the area. Nasim's - east Indian, east African. The Nihari is very good. They are a mom and pop operation and are very friendly. Going east on 16th avenue they are just past Home Road on the left hand side. Bit of a "hole in the wall" but worth a visit!
re: Zydeco_Mama
Calgary is without a doubt the Ismaili food capital of North America- I wonder why nobody else seems to be aware of this, including Calgarians. I've never seem Mogo on the menu at indian restos in Toronto or Vancouver, or DC or NYC for that matter, but you see all sorts of Indian-East African hybrids here.
Definitely hit up Tazza Deli in Bridgeland for an unreal meal. They're open for lunch til about 9pm. You'll have to use a napkin before even eating to wipe your mouth from salivating as you walk in the smell alone is amazing. Beef shawarma plate with some hummous for dipping the beef will drive your tastebuds wild.
Thanks all! You've saved me from boring dining alone. Plus, you've given me some inexpensive places to give the the new sliders so they aren't stuck at Wendy's and McD's for their food fixes :-)

Although the EMG-85 has more measurable output than the 81, its frequency response and string interface are different. The 85 uses two Alnico magnet loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy lowend and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, it works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn't muddy. It's a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in combination with an 81 in the bridge, which is the same pickup combination used by Zakk Wylde.Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.

Julia's Before & After Photos: Final Results in the Dining Room
Liveblogging the Style Cure
Starring: Walls in "Classic Silver", the $82 industrial-style bookcase, the $40 vintage mirror-makeover, my grandmother's art deco lamp, impulse-bought vintage milk crates, a Kurt Vonnegut print, and the same giant dining room table, but better than ever with a blue burlap table runner. Come on in!
Man, what a fantastic journey this has been. It took a village to raise this dining room, but it's officially cured and I am so very happy with the new space. It's exactly the mood and tone I was hoping for. The gray is neutral yet brighter and softer than the green. I'd like to thank AT reader "6od" for recommending Behr's "Classic Silver" in the Comments section of my paint color post - it turned out to be the perfect shade for this room. We've added in elements of the natural world, music, books, and heritage, all of which are incredibly important to us. I'm also excited to have a globe in the room for my kids; I like the idea that they can walk by, give it a spin, and get a little reminder that there's a big beautiful world waiting to be explored. *The rug was unrolled hours before the pictures, so it still had some un-rolling bumps :)
I decided to go for it, in the dining-room-rug sense, after finding a gem on Rugs USA for 50% off (although it seems like their rugs are always at least 50% off - am I right?). But fear not, I also bought a Dustbuster! I suppose if it gets hit with one too many spills I can always move it into the bedroom, but let's hope that doesn't happen.
Another great part of the Cure was working with so many nice people, such as Etsy seller, North Country Comforts who expedited shipment of the fantastic light blue burlap table runner so I could have it in time, and Rachel at Marguerite Gardens, who worked with me so graciously to find just the right flowers (PS - this is the most heavenly garden shop. I stare in their windows far too often. It's creepy).
I'm also happy to report that the saddest corner in the world is gone! It's now the happy home of a vintage suitcase record player. My husband bought this record player at a thrift store in Little Havana 10 years ago, and while we also have a new record player in our sun room, this one is near and dear to us. It's like The Little Engine That Could - it's been through a lot and keeps on keepin' on. I love playing records during dinner, so this is a treat. The Art Deco woman-figurine- lamp is a piece my grandmother had forever and my dad rewired it (in a jiffy I might add) so that it can be used as a lamp once again. I can't tell you how much I love having it up and running in my home. The Franny & Zooey and Kurt Vonnegaut prints celebrate our love of literature, as Franny & Zooey was a big book for me when I was coming of age and my husband is a Vonnegut fan.
*These are a couple "Before" mirror pictures to show what the original looked like (sorry about the unintentional selfie, I almost forgot to get a "before" and snapped these just before painting). From a distance it looks okay, but up close you can see it was covered in a dingy gold-black-silver speckled paint job. I painted it using Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Old White" and it was quickly transformed. I bought a small tube of chalk paint on Ebay for $13, which brought the total cost of the mirror to around $55.
There are a couple more projects we want to do but ran out of time for this deadline, but overall I did accomplish the major changes I was hoping to achieve from the Style Cure, which feels nice. I'd also like to thank all of you for your input and feedback along the way. It was incredibly helpful!

Gorgeous! I kind of miss the Spiderman but this looks great. :)
The new drum light fixture is really nice. Do you mind sharing where you found it? We're looking to replace one that is very similar to your "before".
Hi, it's the Pacific Coast Pendant, Empire. I bought it on sale at Macy's but it looks like it's no longer available through them.
It's pretty but so....beige? Very calming, but a little too flat color-wise for me! (says the girl wearing cobalt blue glasses. Take my crazy color advice with a grain of non-neutral salt ;-) ).
Have you considered painting the ceiling? If it were the color of the walls it would really make your beautiful moldings show up.
looking real good julia....nice work!
Hopefully your kid's kitchen is put back soon? :) Looks great.
It looks great! I'm working up the energy to paint a room gray; this is yet another prompt to do it.
I love Margeurite Gardens! I get my hair cut next door to there, and every time I walk out of the salon feeling a bit guilty for spending too much money, I decide to double down and buy flowers.
It turned out very nice.
Looks so great Julia! Especially loving the new light fixture.
GREAT JOB! However, that awesome globe does look lonely/lost in the corner. Well Done Though!
This really turned out beautifully - I love the paint and the mirror. Hope Spiderman found a new home!
Great job! So much brighter than the before!
One of those rare cases where I like BOTH the before and after!
That's one big room! Tall ceilings, too, not the easiest to decorate for sure. The end result is lovely – maybe the next piece of furniture you add can be something BIG and TALL, the bookcase is the largest piece, and it too looks small in scale of the room. I would also consider moving the globe to be friends with the record player, I think they'd make a nice grouping, and again, bring in more of the scale needed for the room.
Props for working with the existing table, it looks so different now!
Thanks everyone! Yep, definitely plan on bringing in a sideboard/something more substantial, but we were already over budget for the time being so that will be a future purchase. The globe is in the corner (for now) because I'm worried about one the kids knocking it into the shelf and or record player. Ha. But they are digging spinning it and talking about countries, so that's a plus! And there's a project involving lots of cloud pictures...so the room is not *done* but it's on its way :)
Nice - simple changes, but they add up to a lot.
Nice changes. A little simple to feature.... But good job.
I'm into your heavy table and chairs!
Looks great; more contemporary.
Love the deco lamp ! I bet every time you look at it you think of her.Im lucky enough to have some nice things,but my most treasured posession is a little japanese porcelain coffee set with roses my grandmother adored,not expensive but so full of memories for me.Your room is coming along beautifully.
Oh! I just did a little clap in front of my computer screen. It's lovely and the color is just perfect. Wonderful job.
Oh, that rug is perfect -- warm and cool and elegant all at the same time. I have rug envy.
I also want to add that I love that you discussed not only the mechanics of your room but also the fact that there can be some emotion attached to things and explained a little of how you worked through it.
That is compelling to read.
I thought the best thing in the room before was the ceiling lamp...but I guess drum shades hanging from the ceiling are all the rage now...a pity for that great old (original to house?) lamp.
Wow, I thought the before was pretty, but the after just has an "ahhhhhhh..." feeling about it. Nicely done. Amazing how warm the gray looks/photographs.
So great, Julie! It's so much lighter and more airy!

Not to worry! These makeup, skin, and hair tricks from beauty experts will help you breeze. Making use of your own stuff on content syndication web pages, is often a solution.. While having syndicated articles, chosen to suite the general interest of our viewers, it's not always serving to all readers. This is way I recommend you to check our other articles. From big to smaller news papers syndication is almost an art.. Papers sometimes syndicate as a team with another newspaper—e.g., the Los Angeles Times–Washington Post syndicate.As the viewer has the best articles to reach, holds the greatest importance.through the season in top form. Now all you need is a sarong!
Summer Beauty Tips
When you are sporting bare arms and short skirts, try some glimmer. For your face, pick a product with tiny sparkly particles, like Buxom Divine Goddess Luminizer ($28; sephora.com). Mix one part illuminator with two parts moisturizer in your palm and apply out from your nose, says Sadah Saltzman, hair and makeup pro at Salon AKS in New York City.
For your arms and legs, go with something light, like Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Illuminating body butter ($32; qvc.com). "Apply only on what you want to highlight," says Saltzman, "including your legs, collarbone and shoulders."

Summer Beauty Tips
"Brightly colored cream blush paired with bronzer is a pretty and natural summer look," says Barose. Two-in-ones to try: Sonia Kashuk Chic Luminosity bronzer and blush duo ($13; target.com) and Tarte Park Ave Princess Bronze & Glow Matte bronzer and cheek tint ($32; sephora.com).
Swoosh on bronzer where sun rays would normally give you color (forehead, nose, chin and cheekbones). After you dot blush on cheeks, says Saltzman, "prevent telltale lines by blending upward in a circular motion instead of straight back."

Summer Beauty Tips
Fake versions are healthier—and gorgeous. Products like Australian Gold Sheer Coverage Faces, SPF 45, with self-tanner ($9; australiangold.com) build up color over a few days and provide broad-spectrum coverage that lasts as long as sunscreen.
Summer Beauty Tips
To avoid skin that's (horrors!) slick-shiny, wash with a cleanser that sops up grease, such as Olay Fresh Effects Shine, Shine Go Away Shine Minimizing cleanser ($7; at mass retailers).
Then apply mattifier to forehead, nose and chin; we like L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Miracle Blur Instant Skin Smoother finishing cream ($25; at mass retailers).
Dive Into Your Best Body Ever
Founded in 1971 when it began performing dinner theater, Broadhollow has over the years expanded to operate the Bayway Performing Arts Center in East Islip, and Broadhollow's Centre Stage in Rockville Centre, as well as the original Broadhollow Theater, first in Farmingdale and later in Bethpage. The company has been forced out of its Bethpage home because the local school district is reclaiming the school that had housed the theater.
The move is not without potential peril, conceded Patricia Zaback, the company's managing director. Broadhollow, a nonprofit company with a $1.2 annual budget, had initially withdrawn from the Lindenhurst theater, she said, because "we couldn't find an audience there."
Various groups have operated at the Studio Theater over the years, almost all focusing on less traditional fare. But none were able to survive financially, Ms. Zaback said. She added that at first Broadhollow "tried to follow that approach, but we couldn't make a go of it, even after we started compromising a bit, broadening the programming to appeal to our mostly mainstream audience."
"Mainstream" is the important word here, Ms. Zaback, 58, and her son, Richard T. Dolce, 33, the company's artistic director, agreed.
They said that the year-round theaters that have survived on the Island over the last 30 years, like the Arena Players in East Farmingdale, Theater Three in Port Jefferson and Broadhollow, have made it because their fare generally has been mainstream - hit comedies, popular dramas and familiar musicals, with only an occasional hint of the off-beat or even avant-garde. Arena does commission a new play every year.
Frederic DeFeis, founder and artistic director of the Arena Players, which has been on the Island for 45 years, agreed that mainstream theater rules.
"The minute we try anything different - unless it's a new play that strikes a familiar chord with the audience - nobody comes," he said. "I just did 'Come Back Little Sheba,' a modern classic, and we couldn't give away the seats."
In addition, these theaters are not Actor's Equity organizations, paying union rates to professional actors, though they occasionally employ Equity actors under special contracts. For the nonunion actors, the pay rate is $10 to $20 a performance. This, Ms. Zaback said, keeps ticket prices to as little as $10 to $12 a show by subscription or $16 to $20 for a single ticket.
These theaters were started to provide Long Islanders with an affordable alternative to New York theatergoing, said Ms. Zaback, who lives in Hauppaugue and started her company with her husband, Jerry. But with the gradual aging of their original audiences, the theaters are facing new challenges, Ms. Zaback said.
"Everybody's moving to Florida," Ms. Zaback said. "The people we began with are leaving. And while we're beginning to attract some young families at Bayway, it's not widespread."
To bring an audience to the second-floor, 144-seat Studio Theater, which the company is renting under a long-term lease, Broadhollow has spent about $100,000 to build a three-quarter thrust stage, add new bathrooms, recarpet the premises and create wider aisles. The emphasis, Mr. Dolce said, will be on "shows that haven't been produced on the Island before or done here recently."
The opening production is "Lucky Stiff," a musical comedy-mystery by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the team responsible for "Ragtime." The show opens on Saturday.
Future productions will include Michael J. Chepiga's courtroom drama "Getting and Spending," which had a brief Broadway run in 1998; Richard Maltby and David Shire's musical "Closer than Ever;" and "Grace and Glorie," a comedy by Tom Ziegler that was presented by the Roundabout Theater in 1996 and has not been offered on the Island before.
"We can't make them too obscure," Mr. Dolce said. "That won't appeal to our mainstream audiences, but we are trying to find things that are interesting and entertaining that will keep our regulars happy and perhaps bring in new audiences."
Information on the Broadhollow Theater Company's production of "Lucky Stiff": (631) 581-2700.

In 1951, when I sold my first story, I had no idea that such fundamental issues could be pursued in the science fiction field. I began to pursue them unconsciously. My first story had to do with a dog who imagined that the garbagemen who came every Friday morning were stealing valuable food which the family had carefully stored away in a safe metal container. Every day, members of the family carried out paper sacks of nice ripe food, stuffed them into the metal container, shut the lid tightly—and when the container was full, these dreadful-looking creatures came and stole everything but the can.
Finally, in the story, the dog begins to imagine that someday the garbagemen will eat the people in the house, as well as stealing their food. Of course, the dog is wrong about this. We all know that garbagemen do not eat people. But the dog's extrapolation was in a sense logical—given the facts at his disposal. The story was about a real dog, and I used to watch him and try to get inside his head and imagine how he saw the world. Certainly, I decided, that dog sees the world quite differently than I do, or any humans do. And then I began to think, Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world, a world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. And that led me wonder, If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe, it's as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can't explain his to us, and we can't explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too diffrently, there occurs a breakdown of communication… and there is the real illness.
Could a machine that enables men to experience menstruation end war? Can humans learn empathy via a robot that allows them to converse with crows? Could young girls be inspired to study astrophysics by a moon rover that leaves behind feminine footprints in the dust?
These are some of the…
The "student question" mentioned at the end of this article was my question! Amazing talk by a super-smart person.

The Swedish Ice Hotel
posted in Destinations . posted by M Kepnes on July 27, 2008 . 10 Comments
The Swedish Ice Hotel is located in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. It has over 80 rooms and is built using ice from the nearby Torne River. Construction began in October using 10,000 tones of ice and 30,000 tons of snow. The 30,000 square foot hotel is located 200 km north of the Arctic Circle and features an Absolute Vodka ice bar, an ice cinema, an ice chapel, ice family rooms, and ice suites. The whole structure uses 4,000 tons of ice.
The hotel began in 1990, when French artist Jannot Derid held an exhibition in a cylinder-shaped igloo in the area. One night there were no rooms available in the town so some of the visitors slept in sleeping bags on top of reindeer skin.
Source:1, 2, 3
The ice hotel gives you a different way to holiday. It's an interesting place to stay for those that love the snow. Rooms start around $300 a night and the hotel is open from December through April. Temperatures range from -5 C to -8 C. That's pretty cold but considering temperatures can get -37 C below out, it's not too bad. Guests sleep on Reindeer skin and sleeping bags making for a nice comfortable, and cozy, sleep.
Since the hotel melts and has to be rebuilt each year, no two years feature the same design. Every year they reshape and redesign the whole hotel giving returning visitors a new place. Last year's theme was the milky way.
10 Comments for "The Swedish Ice Hotel"
it's great..i think the price isn't too bad .. something we should try at least once…it will be a good experience.
Sounds cool… but cold and hard and uncomfortable.
Wow Sounds Intereting. Looks so intricate! I really hope I can go there
I am a student completing a project. I need info on the types of hotel/guest/property "security" means are available in an ICE HOTEL ..
Shame on the Ice Hotel!!! When all airports were shut down due to volcanic ash the hotel refused to refund our money. The airlines and other hotels all gave refunds, but not the Ice Hotel. The volcanic ash situation may continue to be a problem for the next year or more so anyone making reservations for the next season might want to reconsider.
I take back by comment about the Ice Hotel. They have reconsidered & decided to refund my money. It was a difficult time for everyone. They didn't mean to cause any ill feelings.
Thank you to the Ice Hotel
i like this hotel i wish i will see it because i'm in lebanon and i'm verry far i se the rooms its cordgest and the chandelirs they are nise its like life in the casel verry verry nise
im erika maie sawma from lebanon 9 years old and love the ice hotel ha!ha!ha love you ice hotel
erika maie sawma
hm. i watched it in Jessica Soho here in Philippines . im so amazed by its idea and uniqueness ! i love the low temperature .. hahaha !
we have been there last January. it was great. so many marvelous installations of famous designers. every room are unique in it's design. i never think before that ice and snow are so plastic stuff with so reach facilities.
and it was not so cold for sleeping. just -5 inside. may be because we are from Russia
