If you thought the 2012 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season was due to start at Albert Park on Sunday 18 March, think again.
While Australian fans have been patiently waiting for the new crop of cars and drivers to arrive Down Under, up there in Spain the teams have been pounding around the circuits at Jerez in the south-west and Barcelona in the north-east throughout late February and early March. So much so that tyre supplier Pirelli reckons that in three official four-day pre-season tests the drivers have completed no fewer than 48,987 kilometres on the Italian company's new-for-2012 tyre compounds.
Since the Albert Park circuit measures 5.303 kilometres, that's the equivalent of close on 10,000 times around the picturesque Melbourne circuit. What's it all for?
Well, it's like an athlete 'putting miles in his legs' before his racing season starts. The drivers are keen to get back in harness after their winter break, the design teams are eager to see how their new cars have responded to the latest regulations and there is a lot of homework to do on Pirelli's latest offerings.
It's also a question of balance, between reliability – getting the cars to pound around without missing a beat – and performance, i.e. seeing just how quick they are. But if you can't get the former right, then the latter might remain a mystery until you get to Melbourne and the first official practice session on Friday 16 March.
If you want to know who was quickest in those 12 days, look no further than Kimi Räikkönen. The Flying Finn clocked 1 minute 22.030 seconds on the final day of the second Barcelona test, more than three-tenths faster than anyone had managed in the first session at the Circuit de Catalunya.
But his speed only tells half the story. Lotus, for whom the returning champion will drive this season, had to abandon the first Barcelona session after the opening day because of an 'issue' (testing buzz-word) with the E20's front suspension.
"We will never catch back those four days we lost," admitted team principal Eric Boullier before the final Spanish session, "but we need to make the best of these four days coming up to make sure that we do well."
Despite the temporary drama, Lotus did so well that only Räikkönen and team-mate Romain Grosjean managed to be top of the daily time-sheets twice each. Otherwise no fewer than eight other drivers clocked fastest times. So where does that leave us?
If you were a betting person, you might look at the Silver Arrows and treat them as your dark horses. Putting it another way, Mercedes left it late to unveil their 2012 challenger, the W03, but have logged up some impressive mileage and are making encouraging noises ahead of the car's debut in Melbourne.
Nico Rosberg put in 257 laps in the second Barcelona test; in fact over the combined 12 days of testing the German totalled 2996 kilometres of track work to be the hardest-working driver out there.
"I think it shows that bringing the car to the second test was the right decision, because we have no reliability problems," said Rosberg, yet to win a race after six seasons in F1, the last two with the re-born Silver Arrows. "The reliability is better than last year and it means we can focus more on performance."
Meanwhile, over in the Maranello corner, the noises emanating from Ferrari after testing have been distinctly low-key. "The new single-seater has some characteristics which are difficult to understand and maybe we're not where we want to be yet," said Fernando Alonso.
Technical supremo Pat Fry went further, claiming the F2012 had no chance of podium finishes early in the year, which would mean the Scuderia was on the back foot from the start.
"But we've all lived through many Formula One seasons," added Alonso, "and we all know very well that until we're in Australia we don't really know where we stand. I just want to remind you of an episode two years ago: at the last test in Barcelona we were fifth behind Red Bull, McLaren, Sauber and Force India and two weeks later we gained a one-two win in Bahrain."
Looking for a 1-2 result in Melbourne will be defending champions Red Bull, but they too left Barcelona under something of a cloud. Vettel gave them 'more than 5 but less than 10' out of 10 for their pre-season work after failing to complete more than a handful of laps on the final day because of an 'issue' that caused him to go off-track and a gearbox problem.
Mark Webber, as usual, gets it about right. The experienced Aussie doesn't use 'issue-speak' but refers to the fact that everyone 'faces some headwinds' in pre-season testing, which is what Red Bull have experienced. But would you bet against the RB8?
While seasoned veteran Webber knows exactly how to tackle the season-opener in Melbourne, fellow-Aussie Daniel Ricciardo will be having his home race debut in the Toro Rosso. Dan got more running in the final Barcelona test than in the previous two sessions and said he has "a clear understanding" of the changes the team has made to its STR07 and the way the car reacts.
On the second-last day in Barcelona he clocked 131 laps. "The perfect preparation for Melbourne," he called it – and many insiders are saying Toro Rosso could be on target for a significant move up the grid in 2012.
'Issues' are all very well, but what if you have so many of them that you don't get any running in the pre-season tests at all? It's happened to two teams this year, both of whom had to rely on the sleight-of-hand of 'filming days' to roll out their 2012 cars on the Monday after Barcelona testing had shut down.
One is HRT, whose pre-season has been overshadowed by changes of management, of location and other ongoing difficulties which meant the car itself took a back seat. On March 5 their F112 had a shake-down run in Barcelona with Narain Karthikeyan at the wheel.
An interested spectator was his team-mate Pedro de la Rosa, a senior figure who believes F1 has got its whole severely restricted approach to testing quite wrong.
"We need two or three sessions a year of open Formula 1 testing, with any driver the team wishes to appoint," declared De la Rosa, who is returning to a full-time race seat after many years as a 'third and reserve' driver, most recently at McLaren.
"Imagine if McLaren would have needed me towards the end of last year, without me having tested for eight months? It would have been embarrassing to drive a McLaren, a car capable of winning races, and not even make it into Q2!"
The other team yet to turn a wheel in anger with its 2012 cars is Marussia, who gave the MR01 its first outing at Silverstone on the same day as the F112 was doing its stuff in Spain. Their car's unveiling was put on hold when it failed to pass the final FIA-observed crash test, mandatory hurdles for the car and its componentry to get over.
So two teams at least will be 'testing' for all they are worth in the opening two days of their Melbourne weekend, while the others attempt to live up to or exceed their own pre-season form.
As Michael Schumacher says (and the Mercedes ace, with 91 wins under his belt, should know), "We all know that testing does not show everything." And at least they only have to cover 58 laps of Albert Park when the lights go out on Sunday 18 March...

Tasty but broken in pieces
By Natural Fan
from Indiana
Dog likes these, and Merrick brand is great. But the last two times i ordered these, the patties were all broken into pieces. I don't know if it's from rough handling, or shrink-wrapping them too tight, or what. It frankly takes the fun away. Instead of giving her a single patty that she can carry off and eat, i have to put a handful of crumbles on the floor. Not fun.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
The turkey has shrunk
By Crazy dog person
from Alabama
My dog loves this turkey treat. It is easy to break into pieces instead of giving a whole round steak each time. Unfortunately, the supplying company has decreased the size of the product since my last order. The package used to be 3.5 oz but is now 2.5 oz. I'm not sure how to get the large size back on your supply shelves since only one size is offered.

Although my little dogs had trouble chewing them at first, once they got going, there was no stopping them. The flavor must be awesome. I do break them in half for my smaller dogs.

My dog gets very excited as soon as she sees me bring out a turkey patty. Love the fact it is made by Merrick and made in USA.
Merrick Turkey Steak Patty? Kari: YES!
By kathyca
from Ridgecrest, CA
My dog will do anything for a Merrick turkey patty, and it can easily be broken into smaller pieces, so makes a great training reward. It can also be crumbled into her food when I need to get her to eat. Since she's a big dog, she sometimes gets whole ones for jackpot rewards.
Every home must have
By Brenda
from Taunton Ma
we got a small dog and when we go places I get her bag ready and grab 1 pattie and we are set for treats for the day. Break it up as needed. I will not be with out them.

By Bow Wow Meow

pure treats are healthier. these are easy to digest & you can break into small pieces.

Interpretive Handbook
82079 :
Sterols, Plasma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Cholesterol plays an essential role in many cellular and developmental processes. In addition to its role as a membrane lipid, it is the precursor to numerous molecules that play an important role in cell growth and differentiation, protein glycosylation, and signaling pathways. The biosynthesis of cholesterol and its subsequent conversion to other essential compounds is complex, involving a number of intermediates and enzymes. Disorders that result from a deficiency of these enzymes lead to an accumulation of specific intermediates and inhibit the formation of important biomolecules. Clinical findings common to cholesterol biosynthesis disorders include congenital skeletal malformations, dysmorphic facial features, psychomotor retardation, and failure to thrive.
Desmosterolosis (desmosterol reductase deficiency) has a similar phenotype to Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLO) syndrome (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase deficiency) and typically involves the central nervous system (CNS). Its biochemical marker is the elevation of desmosterol in plasma, tissue, and cultured cells.
Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in 2 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes, ABCG5 and ABCG8, which abnormally enhance the absorption of plant sterols and cholesterol from the intestines. Patients often present with tendon and tuberous xanthomas as well as premature coronary artery disease. A biochemical diagnosis of sitosterolemia is made by documenting elevations of the plant sterols sitosterol and campesterol in plasma or serum.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Investigation of possible desmosterolosis (desmosterol reductase deficiency) and sitosterolemia
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Patients with sitosterolemia typically have campesterol values >40 mg/L and sitosterol values >80 mg/L.
A quantitative report of the patient's sterol profile and a Biochemical Genetics consultant's interpretation is provided for each specimen.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Reference ranges were derived using fasting specimens from healthy individuals. Sitosterol and campesterol values may be mildly elevated in individuals whose diets include foods with high concentrations of plant sterols, such as some vegetable oils and infant formulas.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

As awesome and game changing as this all sounds, development has hit a stand still due to a lack of funding, in other words I am broke. Now before you roll your eyes and turn away from this post forever, let me assure you that I am not asking you for money, well not directly. I have decided to use Kickstarter, a creative project funding website that connects projects to potential investors. I need to build the awareness of this project and I am asking for your help in doing that. Take a look at what we are actually doing and help me spread the word. Of course if you decide you would like to pledge money to the project, I won't stop you. I can answer any questions you may have so feel free to ask them. Thanks for listening.

Hi all!
First of all, awesome program mouser! I love trying new software and finding those little gems that make your computer experience nicer and this one is one of the best! And good license/sharing your work philosophy!
Said that, I see that f+r has an alias feature that can be really powerful, but it seems to be under used.
I'm sure that it can be a really good tool to control your computer (accessing control panel, enabling/disabling tv out, turning off pc, etc.) just knowing the right windows command (maybe with the aid of third party tools) and assigning it an alias for fast access or to exploit webpages and search engines potential.
But I don't see many posts talking about new aliases to do new things and sharing new ones. (sorry, because I'm a new forum reader so maybe I missed them).
IMHO, it would be really nice to have an organized way of sharing new aliases with the rest of the users, something like a small online searcheable database of aliases, each one with a short description of what it does (in a nice to read format) and the command to be pasted in f+r.
But i know that it would be a lot of work and useless when there are so few of them right now.
In the meantime, maybe an organized way of sharing them through the forum would be nice.
To start sharing, here there are some I have added and use very often:
English Wikipedia search:
1000>>>wp>->Wikipedia Eng | http://en.wikipedia.org/?search=$$1>+>^wp (.*)
Spanish Wikipedia search:
1000>>>wpes>->Wikipedia Esp | http://es.wikipedia.org/w...i/Especial:Search?search=$$1>+>^wpes (.*)

Spanish -> English translation using WordReference:
1000>>>esen>->Esp - Eng | http://www.wordreference..../en/translation.asp?spen=$$1>+>^esen (.*)
Currency conversion:

RAE dictionary search:
1000>>>rae>->RAE | http://buscon.rae.es/drae...&TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=$$1>n>DRAE | http://buscon.rae.es/drae...sual?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=$$1>+>^rae (.*)
Bittorrent search:
1000>>>tor>->Torrentz | http://www.torrentz.com/s.php?q=$$1>n>TorrentSpy | http://www.torrentspy.com/search.asp?query=$$1>n>TorrentTyphoon | http://www.torrenttyphoon.com/default.aspx?q=$$1>n>Mininova | http://mininova.org/search/?search=$$1>n>Bittorrent | http://search.bittorrent.com/search.jsp?query=$$1>n>Pirate Bay | http://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=$$1>+>^tor (.*)
And accessing my most frequently used webpages like:
1000>>>gmail>->Gmail | www.gmail.com
1000>>>netvibes>->Netvibes | www.netvibes.com
I know most of them are 'Spanish related', but I'm from Spain , i hope they will be useful for somebody or give new ideas of new commands to add to their own collection.
All of them fall in the category of 'exploiting search engines potential', I got the ideas for them from the YubNub search engine.
If somebody doesn't know it, YubNub it is a 'social commandline for the web' and has literally thousands of commands like these!!
Just write 'ls' in their search box (or 'ls <something>' to narrow the search) and you will find tons of commands to do nearly anything with the search engines that exist out there.
To add it to f+r, just copy the url related to the command that you want to use from YubNub and replace %s by $$1 in FARR and you are done!
Or, add this alias and you will have all the power of YubNub in FARR
YubNub commandline:
1000>>>yn>->YubNub | http://www.yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=$$1+$$2>+>^yn ([^\s]+)(?:\s)?(.*)
yn wp test --> Look up 'test' in the English Wikipedia
yn gim test --> Performs a Google Image search for 'test'
I just prefer to add the ones that i use most as direct aliases so i have to type less and they work faster because YubNub doesn't need to parse it.
P.S. The way that yubnub allows searching and looking up its commands could be a good one for aliases database too

The one-of-a-kind music festival takes place May 20th – 22nd on the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama – just minutes from the Florida border. Tickets go on-sale this Wednesday at 9 am CST. A confirmed lineup is listed below. More bands, amenities and activities will be announced in the coming weeks. The Hangout Music Festival debuted in 2010 and set itself apart from other festivals by featuring a blockbuster lineup of bands performing on stages located directly on the beach. Thousands of condominiums within walking distance add to the exceptional experience shared by music enthusiasts and beach lovers. This year, the festival is adding a fifth music stage under an air-conditioned tent and creating Hammock Beach, a replenishing salt-water lagoon where music fans will find shade, hammocks, and art installations. Another feature of Hammock Beach will be the Sky-bar tower, a structure built specifically for Hangout offering 360-degree views of the festival. For fans interested in taking their festival experience to the next level, VIP ticket holders are invited to take a dip in Hangout's new resort style in-ground pool with views of the main stage (deck side bar service is included). Other new attractions include an extended kids' area, family events, late night deejays, and shuttle service between stages.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Valerie Lynne
"Just imagine a cute display of penguins, made with black olives, carrots and cream cheese! You can add scarves and hats by using fresh red pepper strips, or canned pimentos cut into different shapes. Use frilly toothpicks if you can."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

jumbo black olives, pitted
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
18 small
black olives
Gets folks laughing! Worth the effort.
Tips (from me & others): use herbed or ranch flavored whipped cream cheese (it will still look white); don't simply slice the olive, remove a small section to accomodate the filling; pipe whipped cream cheese using a sandwich bag; make "beaks" thin to avoid splitting the "head" while inserting them; try inserting "beaks" vertically rather than horizontally; "heads" take the most time - make them the night before and leave them soaking in the olive brine. Don't forget to make baby penguins! Fill a single olive & set on top of carrot feet with large whole facing up. Insert toothpick through center to pin it to the "feet". Set "beak" into cream cheese filling of large whole - it will hold it in place. Do a variation on this to make "swimming" penguins. Fill a single olive. Stick beak in one end and feet in the other. Shave off a small portion from the underside of the olive to keep it from rolling around. For "environment" we used an aluminum pizza pan and foam board ($1.99)for an ice flow. Trace the pan on the foam board. Cut out the circle with a craft knife. Cut circle in half jaggedly to simulate ice flow. Cut remaining half into pieces; glue and stack in layers to create "hills". Cover pizza pan with blue plastic wrap. Place "ice flow" into the pizza pan. Tape plastic wrap to bottom of the pan to hold it in place. When placing penguins, push the toothpick into the foamboard to hold them in place. Transports easily this way.
They turned out looking really cute, but that was about all they were good for. They were not very tasty.

These were really a hit with the kids at our Christmas family gathering. Instead of using frilly toothpicks, I went to a party store and purchased the toothpicks with the flags from diferent countries. I also made a cheese ball in the shape of an igloo and placed my little guys all around it. Very cute!
These are too adorable!! I added some garlic powder to the cream cheese for a little flavor. Also, I heated the cream cheese briefly (about 20 seconds) in the microwave and then put it in a ziploc bag. By cutting off a small corner of the bag, you can easily squeeze the cream cheese into the olive using the ziploc like a pastry bag!
This was a great recipe! It was a hit at a family picnic I made it for. I was able to get 25 penguins out of a can of jumbo olives. For the beaks, I had to cut a horizontal slit into the smaller olives, and I sliced the beaks thinner so they would fit better. I made these the night before and was worried they would get dried out, so I stood them up in a tupperware container and placed a small amount of water in the bottom and sealed the top. They were fine the next day. They took about an hour to make. I needed to transport them safely on a two-hour car ride so I used the top and bottom of an egg carton and leaned the penguins on their backs in each section of the egg carton, which worked great and prevented them from shifting and getting stuck together. I used an herbed cream cheese spread which worked well. A couple people thought they were chocolate covered treats so you may want to tell people they're olives! I'll definitely make these again!
This is my favorite recipe for the winter holiday season and I make it for each and every party I attend. It definitely takes a little practice to get the penguins assembled correctly, but after about 5, it's a snap. My boyfriend helps me make them and we get an assembly line going. One thing I do to add some flair is to use a basic frosting pump (same thing you would use to fill deviled eggs) to squirt the cream cheese into the olives. This creates a "ruffled tuxedo" effect down the penguin's front. These are always a hit and each penguin will have its own personality! People can never get enough of these.
You can also make an "igloo" to sit next to the penguins out of cream cheese. Use a toothpick to draw the ice bricks.
Stuffed olives with cream cheese has always been a favorite of mine but I would never have thought to shape them like a penguin. CUTE! I like to use the "onion & chives" flavored cream cheese. It gives an added flavor. To easily get the cream cheese into the olives, I use a pastry bag with a #12 tip. I'll now need to buy a smaller tip to fill the smaller olives. Great recipe!
I made these darlings for my sister's wedding shower, and they were a smash hit! We arranged them in rows and they looked like an adorable little army! One suggestion would be to add dry ranch mix to the cream cheese to add a little flavor. Great party appetizer!

Fluoride, either applied to the surface of the teeth, or consumed through the water supply or supplements (called systemic fluoride) helps prevent tooth decay. It also strengthens tooth enamel, and reduced the harmful effects of plaque. Fluoride also makes the entire tooth structure more resistant to decay and promotes remineralization, which aids in repairing early decay before damage is even visible.
Topical fluoride
Products containing fluoride, like most tooth pastes, mouth rinses
When your child's first tooth appears, begin using a very small amount of fluoride toothpaste, about the size of a grain of rice, to brush his or her teeth.
At about 3 years of age, use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
Rinses should not be used in children under 6 years of age.
Fluoridated varnishes and/or gels either topically applied by a dentist or other health professional
They may be applied every 3 to 6 months beginning when the first tooth appears.
Systemic fluoride
Public and private water supplies
Prescription supplements
Other sources may be tea, soft drinks, and some bottled water
Once ingested, systemic fluoride is absorbed via the gastrointestinal tract and distributed and deposited throughout the body via the blood supply.
In general, fluoride consumption is safe. Health risks associated with fluoridation are usually limited to misuse and over concentration. To avoid misuse and over concentration:
Avoid swallowing toothpaste and other dental hygiene products
Keep toothpaste out of young children's reach. Make sure you help your child with toothbrushing until he or she is 7 to 8 years old.
Call the local water department and/or the health department to find out about fluoride in your local drinking water. If your water is fluoridated, you won't need a fluoride supplement.
Children are especially vulnerable to dental fluorosis as their developing teeth are more sensitive to higher fluoride levels. Dental fluorosis is not a disease, but rather how the teeth appear. The American Dental Association defines mild enamel fluorosis as barely noticeable, faint, white lines or streaks on tooth enamel. The discoloration does not affect the teeth's health or function. Fluorosis only occurs in developing teeth, not those that have already erupted. Consult a pediatric dentist or other oral health care professional if you notice changes in the condition of your child's teeth.

Agriculture Centre of Excellence
UFV Student Centre
Chilliwack Five Corners
Canada Education Park
The BC School of Agriculture is the initial phase of UFV's refined and renewed focus on the agricultural economy and our interdisciplinary vision for addressing the changing needs of the industry. Construction of the new Student Centre Building in Abbotsford (Building S) can be viewed online on our new construction web cam here: Watch the Student Centre being built in real time.
The Canada Education Park (CEP) project was a joint venture between UFV, the Justice Institute of BC, the City of Chilliwack, and the provincial government to redevelop the former Canadian Forces Base in Chilliwack into a multipurpose education and research park.
The renovation at UFV Five Corners education centre will include classrooms, a boardroom, and office space for UFV instructors and staff.
It will offer a variety of courses, workshops, and programs to support the business community. Programming will focus on professional development and continuing studies, and custom courses may be designed and offered at the request of the community.
The $15-million project will be financed on a cost-shared basis, with UFV students providing $10 million of the funding through a $35 per semester fee that was approved in a referendum in 2008. The university will provide $5 million of the funding.

I'm wondering where a new path has to be added to
PATH environment variable. I know this is accomplished editing
.bash_rc (for example), but it's not clear how to do this.
This way:
export PATH=~/opt/bin:$PATH
or this?
export PATH=$PATH:~/opt/bin
Question 2 (related). What's a workable way to append more paths on different lines? Initially I thought this could do the trick:
export PATH=$PATH:~/opt/bin
export PATH=$PATH:~/opt/node/bin
but it doesn't because the second assignment doesn't only append
~/opt/node/bin, but also the whole
PATH previously assigned.
This is a possible workaround:
export PATH=$PATH:~/opt/bin:~/opt/node/bin
but for readability I'd prefer to have one assignment for one path.

There are plenty of feeders on the market from all of the major manufacturers that will work fine on a CC machine. They are 'voltage sensing', in that the wire speed is controlled by sensing the arc voltage, and adjusting the speed to maintain the voltage at the desired value.
Not cheap, though. Unless you really need the feature (such as in portable work with a CC only engine drive), a dedicated wire feed machine in the same price range is likely easier to use, and have more features.

sure it's possible to engineer a welder that switches mig/tig seamlessly with various guns, but where's the market for such an (expensive) machine? who's going to pay the premium for all-in-one, when you can just buy two machines, and then have two workstations that you don't have to swap guns/torches?miller dynasty 350

just talked to the guy over at the local Red e arc and he's telling me you won't like how a CC welder and a voltage sensing wire feeder work. I quote "it's only used on thick sections because it requires a lot of heat to make it forgiving"
I guess the voltage sensing aspect of it makes it a bit troublesome at lower amperage settings.
And it is typically used with flux core only, they will work with solid wire but are even more problematic at lower settings
So I guess it's a MM252 or I could pick up on of the lease returns they have. They got five MM251's and are only looking to get $1300 each.Miller Syncrowave 200 W/Radiator 1A & water cooled torch

The author breaks down each position and I am in agreement with his conclusionhttp://www.thephinsider.com/2013/1/1...offseason-need
Could Olivier Vernon answer the Miami Dolphins' need to address the pass rush? - Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports
The Miami Dolphins have needs. They have multiple needs, and have to fid a way to address them. They need help rushing the quarterback. They need help covering wide receivers. They need help catching passes. They may need help prottectig the quarterback. But, what is the most pressing need this offseason?
Which case wins?
It really is tough to pick one, and say that's the definitive answer. Adding a cornerback is important, but if you don't add to the pass rush, it's really not going to be of much help. Is offensive line going to suddenly jump into the fray, if Jake Long is not re-signed?
Personally, I think it comes down to one thing - scoring points. Look at last weekend. In the Divisional round of the playoffs, teams scored 35, 31, 28, and 28 - and those were the four losig teams' scores. The NFL is an offensive league. The rules make it easier to put up points, and the Dolphins have to get back in the race to the endzone. Which brings us to the most important area to address this offseason - wide receiver.
I don't like putting that, because it seems like the easy answer. But, in the end, it's the only answer that makes sense to me. If this team could only address one position this offseason, wide receiver is the one.
Clay and Fasano can last another season at tight end. Wake has shown he can have success without another threat, and there's a chance Vernon could be the pass rusher the team needs. Cornerback will get better with Marshall's return, assuming the team re-signs Smith. But, Hartline and Bess need someone else. Maybe Armon Binns, who looked decent near the end of the season, before the number 19 curse bit him, could help. But the position still needs more. Even if the team lets Long walk, the offensive line without him this year was not horrible - it wasn't great, but it was at least decent.
Wide receiver has to be addressed. There's nothing else this team needs as badly. Weapons around Tanehill will make the quarterback, and the Dolphins, better. From there, who knows where this team could end up.

Saturday Sermon: John Piper on Genesis 1:26-28
In this message, John Piper, one of America's most loved pastors explores the sense in which creation "begs for completeness."

In this message, John Piper, one of America's most loved pastors explores the sense in which creation "begs for completeness."
Dr. Keller explains several crucial implications that result from the radical idea that humans have been made in the image of God.
The meaning of the "image of God" has been debated for centuries in the church. A common view is that the image of God refers to the human abilities that separate us from the animals. However, scientists have found that abilities like communication and rationality are also present in animals on a basic level. Plus, theologians do not see the image of God as human abilities. Some theologians see the image of God as our capacity for a relationship with God. Other theologians see it as our commission to represent God's kingdom on earth. Both of these theological positions are consistent with scientific evidence. Whether God created humanity through a miracle or through evolution, God gave us our spiritual capacities and calls us to bear his image.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Nadine You will love this product. I started to run in order to lose weight and I needed a sports bra that would keep things under control. This bra works really well and it's super comfortable. I totally recommend if you're starting to run or starting a high intensity activity. I hope you enjoy this product as much as I do.

Rated 2 out of 5�by tijohnson champion bra Champion bra is soft and comfortable good for light impact. Not very supportive of mid to high impact. Found myself wearing another bra under it for support. Would not recommend for active workouts. February 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by LosAngelesGal Comfy I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable this sports bra is. Soft yet just enough support (I'm a 34D and ordered a Medium). Easy to get on/off. I ordered another so now I have one black and one white. Very happy with purchase. September 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by bellagirl1638 Extremely comfortable I love this bra. I exercise a lot and this bra never rubs me raw anywhere that a lot of sports bras do after wearing for a long workout. No seams and very soft, yet supportive enough for my 34 D chest. July 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by trail runner not for big boned gals I agree that it is comfortable initially but not really supportive for running. Also, I am tall and I guess have large shoulder bones.

Genuine Smile, Fake Smile but what about one associated with Pain?
Decided to re-post my comment as I would love others insight in regards to my question.
This video left me thinking; if we take out the real smile and the fake smile i am often amazed at myself (as a person who smiles endlessly) the sad smile. How is it that even through the most painful of times I as well as others are still capable of smiling, they maybe smaller in size from an actual happy smile yet still the only answer in that i can verify from my end is even with a sad smile i seem to connect the emotional vulnerability of realizing that even through the pain i could feel emotionally and physically a smile is there to comfort me, a selfish act that allows me to continue? Hard to articulate yet anyone else get my train of thought?
Jeff Sampson
Aug 14 2011: I am somewhat qualified to get involved in this conversation and here's why. Twenty years ago i was in a horrendous accident at work. I fell off the roof off of a three story house we were building. Needless to say that thirty foot fall caused and left massive injuries from a broken neck and back to multiple other injuries.Many times i will smile and laugh because the pain is so intense if i don't laugh/smile and everything in between i will go completely insane from the pain. I have pretty much recovered from the fall but it has left my body racked with pain. I have found that my brain will start this laughing and smiling behavior for a couple of reasons one afterwards it has as doctors explained it releases endorphines in large amounts which is our own bodies morphine and yes it does intend help cut the pain down to bearable okay i don't have to committ suicide pain levels but when it's not enough i must rely on prescribed pain meds. So from my experiences that laughing and smiles truly does give us real relief from whatever is causing the pain whether physical or mental laugh and smile at the worst times in your life give it all you have it helps, i am walking living proof of the relief it really does provide us! Thank GOD for our own built in morphine on demand!!I just three months ago finally had to have back surgery and yeah smiling helps me get over the pain recovery is VERY long and VERY painful the trusty ole laugh and smile works as i use it as my most dependable drug!

Aug 15 2011: That is amazing Jeff, I think how you phrased your own experience makes it easier to comprehend and better relate. I wish you all the best on your continious journey of recovery, and would like to thank you for your insight :)Aug 13 2011: I think smiling threw pain is an inspirational insight to the strength of a person's character. People who can smile amidst trauma and pain can draw people to be more emotionally open in their own pain. I went threw cancer when I was 18 and found that by smiling, I not only found strength but gave strength to others. I found that being sick was sometimes harder for my family members to handle then it was for me and if I kept a positive outlook, encouragement flowed around me.
Aug 14 2011: Thank you Mandilyn for your participation. Because it is really strength like yours that keeps the most fragile of life connected, whether it is family, social standing, a Dr. or Nurse's faith and persistence as well your inner strength against turbelence. Smiling I am coming to realise more and more especially with your input, is a strength a defining aspect of character that a geniune few have been blessed with!Aug 12 2011: The smile has been my ultimate guide into one's soul. I often judge people by their smile and I'm rarely wrong. So the smile has not only been a great source of information for me but an insight into the deeper part of us that we involuntarily let others see.
Now the sad smile I believe can do many things 'cause it shows that even in the worst of times we can continue ahead. The world doesn't really stop when we aren't OK so I guess it is a way of us catching up with the rest who didn't know about our pain. Or just may be it it's telling us it's alright to feel hurt and that in the end "this too shall pass".
Aug 14 2011: I love your view Silivia, I do see how smile can and is used as pain management. Smiling is an important factor for me not only for myself but for others around me and important to me, I do feel as though a laugh or a smile in any situation is just as good as candy when you least expect it and most crave it. I tend concentrate on an individuals eyes more than a smile, but I also think what we concentrate on the most is somewhat a reflection of what we understand the most, if Smiling does it for you Silvia than you have an amazing spirit :)
Aug 14 2011: Thank you for the kind words, Amani! I only hope that your smile will express much more joy than whatever else it can. :)

Aug 13 2011: Laughter, and to a certain lesser extent smiling, can help the brain secrete endorphins. So perhaps it is a technique (like self-stroking) to soothe.

Amani Khalil
Aug 14 2011: True on the physical aspect of it. I think why I wanted to probe deeper into it is because Ron mentioned that the action can in itself cause a positive reaction even when not expected which is a fake smile. But i think Gisela that some of the answers provided below show us how others cope outside of the happy/fake smile, a smile that shows appreciation or as in your words self-stroking as a smile can also show us our strength at the oddest of times.Aug 16 2011: i am afraid i need to make u not smile : my intuition just told me that when u roughly allways smile with positive and negative emotions , u are just trained to allways smile , its just a thing u do after maybe any emotion ... Emotions should be pure and logical , this does not feel so ... but on the other leg if u move ur ? 30 face muscles into a smile rationally , u still tickle ur smile centre in ur brain and feel a little betetr , so from that side u might be even right ))) If u wanna know the truth get drunk with ur best smartest friends and throw the whole show on the table , truth might come out , but who will give ut the pain ((*))Aug 15 2011: Thank you Amani that was very kind of you to say!Aug 14 2011: What I wanted to convey here is that since every person has his/her moment(s) of pain (regret, loss.....) and smile is the most basic medicine for human mentality, I think we use it as we face the moment may be to convince or protect ourselves or to bypass the situation. To me, I think every person has their own blackened moments in past that basically help us to grow up. While recalling or facing it we usually use a smile whether it is slight or burst out. This may be the reason why a smile can appear even if we are in pain.

Aug 15 2011: The psychological impact of our own smile have and always do provide more than we can really articulate, hence my first question on TED. I really wanted to see how others digest the difference and articulate it, so thank you for your insight. Each response has shown that we have taken more than a split second to answer because there is no universal answer but what works for each of us individually :)Aug 14 2011: A smile is a sign of joy and hope...
A smile teaches you how you can remove the clouds of mope. a smile takes away your confusion and gives satisfaction....
so let the world smile!!:))
forget abt the Fake smile.......Aug 14 2011: Emily Dickenson wrote
Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches on the soul
and sings the song without the words
and never stops at all.
Smiles communicate joy, appreciation and hope. If we know how to look, one of these is present in every human experience.Aug 13 2011: Happy thoughts, happy talks, happy faces, happy smiles - see all around
What is this feeling that reminds just to not be happy
Haven't said nothing to no one
Haven't said "the word" yet to the one
Haven't yet said I do to anyone
Kept smiling with happy faces
Kept talking with happy words
What is this feeling that just embraces not to be happy
Teared eyes with smile on the face
Heavy heart for painful moments
A smile is there expressing happy tears
As if it's a musk - not getting loosen up
Afraid to loose it up -
Afraid to show, show the face that's behind
that's not the same I usually have.
Aug 14 2011: Abu Sa'ad, that sounds like alot of pain that is being thinly veiled via a smile.Aug 13 2011: Don't know about your smile as I see in the photo here.
My almost all smiles in my Saudi time were either fake or with pain that I can say now with a happy :)
Aug 14 2011: My Smile or Happiness is not dependant on my location. Ive grown up in Saudi and have spent my other half outside of Saudi. Sure it is easier to be carefree and happy go lucky outside of the Kingdom because of the availability of extra activities. But I have had and still have and look forward to amazing memories here, my closest friends I have grown up with here make me smile day in day out. I think it is more about who you surrouned yourself with rather than where you are and this is showing to be ever so true even with my new friends and acquintences.
Aug 14 2011: That's good you are enjoying being adaptive may be as you born there.
Not really , I am not talking about being carefree or availability of extra activity to be happy in any location.
Smile has got great power that's for sure , the proof is my fake smile & smile of pain in Saudi in situation of extreme discrimination & humilation, at least it did not run in to further extreme :)
Aug 15 2011: Alhamdullah it didnt go further, but I completely understand wher eyou are coming from some people here just discriminate based on so many levels because of their mentality. I apologize on there behalf but such people are present in any country. And No I was not born here nor was my early toddler years here :)Aug 15 2011: My fake smile or smile of pain was good for me as well, otherwise I could be just dead or in jail, because further extreme defintely would ignite me to explode....................
Well because of my job I travelled a bit and had to live in different countries also other than Saudi, I didn't see such rampant discrimination anywhere believe me. Moreover discrimination and humiliation depending on colour, country of origin is institutionalised in that HOLY place.
Actually my father also uttered "Alhamdulillah" when he heard my next location going to be Saudi , I never broke his belief & heart by telling what the reality is.....
Going back to topic actually I believe the saying "laughter is the best medicine"
Nothing to be sorry from your part Amani. Thanks & have a good day :)Aug 12 2011: Well, smiling does more than say "Im happy." It also says "Im friendly and I like you." I dont know about you, but I tend to make my sad smiles only towards another person relating to me while I am sad. I dont sit around crying alone and smiling. So I think sad smiles are more a show of friendship and appreciation for those who are with us in our moment of sadness and grief, than they are about happiness.
Aug 14 2011: Alyson you've actually made a great connection that I overlooked, appreciating a friend in a time of personal need. I like you smile with or for a friend during the hardest of moments and if it is a friend going through a rough patch I try to make them smile atleast once a deep genuine smile that gets them past their concerns even if it only lasts a moment. But personally, yes I am alone sometimes when my smiles arent so happy which is why i was more curious about others insight (instead of my own self-analysis) :)Aug 11 2011: Power of smiling brought to mind an American author, and his public description of his own emotional and professional breakdown. Fitzgerald published a three part essay called The Crack-Up. In that essay he has a section on the smile he intends to create for his empty self. http://www.esquire.com/features/the-crack-up
You won't feel good after you read this, but I think you will be fascinated by the section which begins..."I will get me a smile..."

Drake, 'Stay Schemin' Diss: MC Apologized to Kobe and Vanessa Bryant
Drake dropped some lyrics on "Stay Schemin'" that had Vanessa Bryant seething. When the song came out on Rick Ross' Rich Forever mixtape, Drake's feature verse referenced the divorce proceedings between Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa in a very unflattering light.
The track, which addresses schemers, paints Mrs. Bryant as the bad guy: "Kobe 'bout to lose a hundred fifty M's/ Ko

Interpretive Handbook
9446 :
Drug Abuse Survey with Confirmation, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
This assay was designed to screen for and confirm by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID), or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the following drugs:
This assay represents the coupling of IDOAU / Drug Abuse Survey, Urine with an automatic confirmation of all positive results by the definitive assay available and described elsewhere (eg, AMPHU / Amphetamines, Urine). All positive screening results are confirmed by GC-MS, GC-FID, or LC-MS/MS and quantitated, before a positive result is reported.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting drug abuse involving amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, ethanol, marijuana, opiates, and phencyclidine
This test is intended to be used in a setting where the test results can be used definitively to make a diagnosis.
Some drug treatment programs do not require confirmatory testing of screen-positive specimens. In those settings, IDOAU / Drug Abuse Survey, Urine is a less costly option.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result indicates that the patient has used the drugs detected in the recent past. See individual tests (eg, AMPHU / Amphetamines, Urine) for more information.
For information about drug testing, including estimated detection times, see Drugs of Abuse Testing at http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/articles/drug-book/index.html
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Not intended for use in employment-related testing.
The test does not screen for drug classes other than those listed above. More comprehensive screening is available using the serum or urine drug screens (DSS / Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Serum or PDSU / Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Urine).
For situations where chain-of-custody is required, a Chain-of-Custody Kit (Supply T282) is available. See CDAUX / Drug Abuse Panel with Confirmation, Chain of Custody, Urine.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Screening cutoff concentrations
Amphetamines: 500 ng/mL
Barbiturates: 200 ng/mL
Benzodiazepines: 200 ng/mL
Cocaine (benzoylecgonine-cocaine metabolite): 150 ng/mL
Ethanol: 30 mg/dL
Opiates: 300 ng/mL
Phencyclidine: 25 ng/mL
Tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid: 20 ng/mL

The key is to handle each item as little as possible. You can do that by hanging clothes on plastic hangers once, while they are wet. Once the clothes are dry, you just grab the batch and move it to a closet, without any of the folding, hanging or sorting that takes time when you take stuff out of a dryer. A drying rack can make socks and underwear even easier to dry.
People talk about about recovering the lost art of line-drying clothes the way our grandparents did it. But after experiencing modern convenience, it's hard to go back. My goal is to make line drying almost as easy as using a dryer--low energy for me as well as for the power plant.
In addition to saving energy, line drying has lots of other advantages. It can actually work better than a dryer for busy people, because you don't have to worry about being around when the dryer finishes to avoid clothes wrinkling. Clothes can last longer because they don't get overheated--this particularly helps preserve elastic. And rather than using detergents whose chemical scents try to mimic the fresh smell (or lack thereof) of line-dried clothes, you can have the real thing!
For more about the advantages of line drying, check out Project Laundry List, a non-profit dedicated to promoting simple ways of saving energy--such as line drying.
In this instructable, I'll describe strategies and equipment for hanging different kinds of clothes with minimum work, discuss setting up a clothesline (choosing a location, etc.), and finally describe options for minimizing dryer energy use if you do use a dryer. An appendix explains the small effect that drying clothes indoors can have on heating or air-conditioning energy use.
*For more on appliance energy see this summary; dryer energy use is typically 900 to 1000 kWh per year for an electric dryer.
Get this guys, if I'm feeling lazy, I'll line dry rather than use the dryer. Why? Because you put them on hangers and an hour later its dry(I live in the desert Southwest). Take the clothes on hangers and put them straight in the closet. If you use the dryer, you have to put the clothes in, take them out, fold them, take them to the bedroom, find the hangers, put the clothes on the hangers and finally, hang them up...too many steps for me. I'm too lazy for that. Even in winter you can still dry you clothes by the end of the day or dry them indoors.
maybe if you used wire hangers the hooks could be bent over? not completely, or it wouldn't come off the line, but give it more of a loop to make it more likely to stay on?
I haven't used a dryer in five years here in Central Florida. I hang dry everything. The only problem is when it rains for several days straight..then my house resembles a chinese laundry because I am forced to use drying racks and other places to lay the clothes out.
Here, dryers are considered as lazy. But I still use it, rinsing and drying. Btw, most dryers here are spin dryers, no heating features.
People have been brainwashed into believing that clothes lines are somehow old fashioned and don't work.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The smell of fresh sheets/clothes dried in the sun is something to look forward to.
-Let the clothes dry for say 8 hours--perhaps overnight--and then put them in the dryer to finish them off and make sure they are completely dry.
-Get a good energy-star dehumidifier, and dry the clothes in the same room as the dehumidifier.
Don't expect them to get everything as dry as they get a swimsuit--cotton holds moisture a lot more than synthetics used in bathing suits. But they can still make line-drying faster or cut way back on the energy needed for a tumble dryer to finish the job.
If your laundry hangs low to the grass and you're in tick country, don't forget to check for ticks before you bring in the clothes. In Indiana, I first saw the ticks on the white sheets/clothes and I realized I needed to hang the laundry far from trees and over low cut grass. But it's worth the trouble. Nothing smells better than laundry dried outside.
Tools needed1) saw 2) screwdiver COST UNDER 5 BUCKS
I heat with a wood stove and forced air with a couple of bathroom fans (cheap to run) and my hot water is just a old gas tank heated by the stove and I live in Canada so you know its cold
My disclamer if useing electric heat make sure the rack is well above the heater so as not to cause a fire and check often to make sure your not over drying. If heating with forced air, make sure you change your filter often you save both ways your furnace works better and your clothes wont get dusty. K if anyone else trys this let me know .It works great for me

Fifteen people, all underage, were arrested for possession of drugs after the Calvert County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of underage drinking and possible drug use Saturday at the Solomons Holiday Inn Conference Center & Marina.
At about 8:39 p.m., personnel at the Holiday Inn in Solomons contacted the sheriff's office regarding what they believed was an underage drinking party with possible drug use in one of the hotel rooms, according to a sheriff's office police blotter issued Monday.
"It was a bunch of kids in the room," Capt. Steve Jones of the sheriff's office said Tuesday of what several officers found when they went to the hotel. "[It was] believed there was an underage drinking party with marijuana," he said, adding that several possession of controlled dangerous substance arrests were made.
Jones said the group had been at the hotel for about 30 to 45 minutes before police arrived. Dfc. R. Wilson, Dfc. J. Morgan, Dfc. W. Wells and Cpl. G. Shrawder found 11 juveniles and four adults in the room, according to the police report. All were taken away from the scene and arrested for possession of drugs, the report states. Jones said it is unknown how the alcohol was obtained.
Precious T. Young, 18, of Laurel, Monica R. Jefferson, 18, of Lusby, Bernard D. Gibson, 20, of Laurel and Cornay S. Johnson, 19, of Lusby were taken to the Calvert County Detention Center, and each were charged with possession of marijuana less than 10 grams and possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia: a metal grinder, Jones said.
Six male juveniles, ranging in age from 13 to 17, and five females, ranging in age from 11 to 17, all from Prince Frederick, Lusby, Lexington Park, Port Republic, Mechanicsville and Laurel, were taken to the sheriff's office, and each were charged with the same offenses on youth reports and released to parents, according to the sheriff's office's report of the incident. Jones said some of the individuals had previous offenses.

|Three Vermont Chefs Named as Semifinalists in the James Beard Awards
Eric Warnstedt
Everyone has heard of the Oscar Awards for the movies but far fewer have heard of the James Beard Foundation Award, an equally prestigious award for people in the restaurant industry.
Like the Oscar's, The James Beard Foundation Award has numerous categories even though the most publicized are the awards for chefs. However, there are also awards for food journalists, broadcast media, food and beverage professionals, even restaurant architects and designers.
Three Vermont chefs are semi-finalists in the Best Chef Northeast category. This is the third year in a row that Eric Warnstedt, Hen of the Wood restaurant, Waterbury VT has been nominated. A few years ago, Eric was also named one of the Top Ten New Chefs in the USA by Food and Wine Magazine.
Jason Gulisano of The Green Cup Cafe, Waitsfield VT and Nathaniel Wade, iDuino! (Duende) restaurant, Burlington VT have also been nominated. Only one of the
21 semifinalists will be named the winner at the awards ceremony May 9 in New York City.
Vermont is fortunate to be home to hundreds of great restaurants. Spend some time looking through the Seven Days newspaper's restaurant website and you will begin to get a feel for the scope of what's available.

New York RangersThis panorama, taken by James Blakeway, captures the action of the New York Rangers playing on home ice. The Rangers are one of the oldest teams in the NHL, having joined in 1926 as an expansion franchise, and are part of the group of teams referred to as the Original Six. The Rangers finished their first season with the best record in the NHL. The following year, they went a step further, winning the Stanley Cup Championship and becoming the first NHL franchise in the United States to win the Stanley Cup. On December 13, 1929, the Rangers became the first team in the NHL to travel by plane when they hired the Curtiss-Wright Corporation to fly them to Toronto for a game against the Maple Leafs.
A must for any true New York sports fan! Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality print stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo, the commemorative title, and a brief descriptive paragraph, this Rangers game night panorama - taken at the moment of celebration after a late third-period game-winning goal - is both a beauty for the wall, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of home, office, or locker room!

I've been confronted by this problem before and am being faced with it again while working on a new big project (YUMPS).
The question is how to best structure a logging database table.
It seems like it should be a trivial issue. You want to keep a table of events that an administrator can browse to help identify problems. So you obviously need fields for date/time stamp, and some text about the event, maybe the userid# responsible.
Now if you're only going to log unusual rare events, and you're never going to need to search it, then there's nothing to worry about.
But if you would like to log a lot of events to help you keep records and track what users are doing, and want to be able to search it easily, then it starts to get a little tricky because this log table might start getting huge, hundreds of thousands or even millions of entries.. So do you really want to be storing large text blocks? Some of these events you might like to preserve indefinitely, while others are just going to be taking up huge amounts of wasted space..
And do you need to reserve some fields in the table corresponding to object ids relevant to the event. For example if there is an event like "User X did operation Y on Blog post Z" and you ever want to be able to search for all operations on blog post Z, then you need an integer field for Z so you can search and filter for all events on that column=Z. But its not going to be a specific column for BlogPostId because blog posts are only 1 of the kinds of objects you work with. So it gets messy.
An alternative solution would be to use multiple log tables, one for each kind of event.. I guess this has some pros and cons.
Anyone know about any good discussion of this kind of thing? Or any particularly elegant solutions? It's obviously something that the big guys (facebook, etc.) need to deal with well, but i've not seen any good discussions of the issue.

With music by legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar highlights the struggles between biblical figures Judas Iscariot and Jesus Christ. The plot centers on the events surrounding the last week of Jesus's life, ending with his Crucifixion. First opening on Broadway in 1971, the show starred Jeff Fenholt as Jesus, Ben Vereen as Judas, Bob Bingham as Caiaphas, Barry Dennen as Pilate, Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene, and Kurt Yaghjian as Annas. Since it's Broadway premiere, the show has become a popular sensation amongst various theaters across the nation, including the Chanhassen Dinner Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The production, which was sponsored by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, stays true to the original music and continues to thrill audiences through the spring of 2011.
