Going organic?
Organic may seem trendy, but many gardeners have been using manure and soil amendments to grow plants for many generations. What we might not have known at the time of application is the nutrient values of these items and which will be most beneficial to our garden.

A singer deemed "Superb" by the Los Angeles Times, and praised by Opera Canada for her "vivacious stage presence" and "soprano that charms and brightens a room", Mireille Asselin is a young artist at the onset of an exciting career.
In Performance………
This season, Mireille returns to the Metropolitan Opera as cover for Adele in Die Fledermaus, conducted by James Levine, and sings the role of Celia in Opera Atelier's acclaimed production of Mozart's Lucio Silla, which returns to Toronto after great successes at the Salzburg Festival and La Scala. On the concert stage she will join the Royal Conservatory Orchestra for Mahler's 4th Symphony, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra for Mahler 8, performs the title role in Handel's Berenice at the Göttingen Handel Festival with Nuova Musica, and will present recitals in New York City with the Casement Fund and in Toronto with the RCM.
In 2014-15 she made her Met debut as Poussette in Manon, returned to Opera Atelier to sing the role of Morgana in Alcina, and made concert debuts with the Edmonton Symphony in Messiah, Calgary Philharmonic for Carmina Burana, as well as with Les Violons du Roy and the Festival Lanaudière for concerts of Mozart and Bach. She also participated in the Boston Early Music Festival's 2015 Monteverdi Triptych, singing La Musica/ Euridice in Orfeo and Minerva in Ulisse.
Ms. Asselin joined the Metropolitan Opera roster in 2013 and later that season her debut album, Ash Roses, was released on the Centrediscs label to great acclaim. In April 2011 she made her Carnegie Hall debut singing Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem with the Yale Symphony, and returned to Carnegie in January of 2012 to give a recital in the Song Continues series.
As a member of the Canadian Opera Company's Ensemble Studio she performed Adele in Die Fledermaus, Servilia in La clemenza di Tito, the title role in Handel's Semele (Ensemble Studio performance), Contessa Ceprano in Rigoletto, and Deuxième prêtresse in Glück's Iphigénie en Tauride.
In recent years she has also performed with the Royal Opera House of Versailles (Princesse Andromède, Persée), Wolf Trap Opera Company (Thérèse, Les mamelles de Tirésias; Frasquita, Carmen; Nannetta, Falstaff), Glimmerglass Festival (Phénice & Lucinde, Lully's Armide), Opera Atelier (Andromède, Persée); Galatea, Acis and Galatea; Servilia, La clemenza di Tito), Boston Early Music Festival (Flore & Proserpine, La descente d'Orphée aux enfers; La Musica & Euridice, Monteverdi's Orfeo) and with Opera Hamilton (Adele, Die Fledermaus; Popera). Her professional operatic debut was on stage at the Seoul Arts Center in South Korea, singing First Witch in Dido and Aeneas, when she was 22! Mireille's other favourite roles include Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), the title role in Stravinsky's Le rossignol/Solovyei, Lauretta (Gianni Schicchi), and Soeur Constance (Les dialogues des Carmélites)...
Mireille has appeared in concert on stages across North America and in England. Her repertoire has included several Bach cantatas, Brahms' Deutsches Requiem, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Ravel's Shéhérazade, Fauré's Requiem, Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne, numerous works by Handel such as Messiah, Saul, and Theodora, Mozart's Mass in C Minor and Exsultate Jubilate, as well as Poulenc's Gloria and Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915.
Mireille has also done film work, starring as Pamina in the feature film Magic Flute Diaries at the age of 21 – a Sullivan Entertainment production released in 2007.
Her training…
Mireille obtained her Master of Music from Yale University's prestigious Opera Program in 2010, and was a member of the Canadian Opera Company's Ensemble Studio (2011-12 & 2012-13 seasons). Prior to her studies at Yale, she completed a Bachelor of Music at the Glenn Gould School of The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto (2007).
She has been a young artist with the Glimmerglass Festival (2012), Opera NUOVA (2008) and Centro Studi Lirica (2005), has studied art song at Toronto Summer Music (2011), Handel oratorio at the Britten-Pears Programme (2008 & 2010), baroque music at the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute (2007) and contemporary vocal music with Queen of Puddings Summer Music Theatre (2007). Mireille has studied voice with Neil Semer, Marlena Malas, Wendy Nielsen, Monica Whicher, Tim Noble, Doris Yarick-Cross and Donna Sherman. She has coached with Sir Thomas Allen, Roger Vignoles, Malcolm Martineau, Michael McMahon, Liz Upchurch and Michael Heaston, among the many other wonderful faculty at the establishments mentioned above. ……
During her studies, Mireille maintained a busy performance schedule and cultivated her musical interests outside the realm of traditional opera, collaborating with new music ensembles, chamber groups and early music aficionados – even taking on film work. Known for her quick ear and mind, she is devoted to the exploration of the new and untested, as well as the old and forgotten. She has participated in numerous world premieres of new works and loves working with composers.
The other things…
Mireille is both an American and Canadian citizen. She is a member of Canadian Actors' Equity Association (CAEA) as well as the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Actors (ACTRA).

"I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world."
Grady, my friend, you are the man. I really enjoyed reading this and all of your posts. I even look for them but somehow I missed this one. I too tried to read every post when I first joined DC, but I learned quickly that is not a realistic goal. But I really try not to miss one of your stories. I'm an avid reader and I love good story-tellers. If you every write a book or if you ever decide to write the story of your life, I'm first in line to purchase.
Congratulations on your daughter's CPL class. I know from reading your posts that you have been anxiously awaiting this milestone in her life. I too miss-read your post and thought it was Mrs Grady not Miss Grady. I was just about to search your posts to see if I had missed a great milestone, but you made the clarification. With your daughter joining the club, maybe your wife will feel left out and will want to become a member.
The highlight for me was how much of a friend you are. Your willingness to help people protect themselves and those they love is absolutely wonderful. Your level of patience is incredible. I must have been absent on the day they were passing out that virtue. Thank you for all that you do.
Finally, I couldn't help but notice the irony in your story. Why is it that your wife is willing to defend her garden by having you shoot the squirrel for doing what comes naturally to him, but not willing to defend her own life by being armed?
Keep up the good work Grady and keep the great stories and lessons coming.
Great to read someone has a life; here in the sandbox it is...

Thanks for sharing your story. Was a great read! Also a good way to pass time at work :)

Grady, I'd love to hear more of things that go on, as you're da Man!
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
She knows how effective a gun can be in dealing with a threat, so it must be she doesn't believe there is a threat to her or our home. Perhaps if she ever grasps the threat, she'll make the leap quickly to being willing to deal with the threat.
I'll be ready. I realize it's best to let one choose their own guns, but by the time she realizes there is a threat, there may not be time for a lengthy gun-selection process.
So I've already purchased several options for her in case she ever realizes the threat, options that will at least come close to fitting her hand. I've got a couple revolvers and a couple autos for her already set aside.
I don't push her to carry or shoot (I'm still trying to get her to carry spray and lock the back door during the daytime ) but I make sure she knows of crime in the area. I hope someday she comes around.
Recently she has started putting the alarm on "instant" at night instead of "stay" once she's done outside, which means an immediate alarm if a door or window is opened instead of a 30-45 second delay. That's a huge victory in the grady house.
One teeny step at a time.
Great observation on your part. Maybe someday she'll see the irony herself, and do something about it.
Received the trap from Have-a-hart.
Day 1-10: Squirrel made a fool out of me. After all my bragging to Mrs. grady about how the squirrel had stayed his last weekend here, we didn't even see him on the deck. Not once.
Day 11: He comes up on the deck and walks all around the trap, totally ignoring the bait. He searches the plants for something new, then leaves. :(
I didn't do anything.
Five minutes later, he's back, walking all over, ignoring the trap and bait.
He leaves. I run out and change the bait to fresh stuff.
He's played me for a fool again, probably watching from the bushes and laughing at me.
Day 12-13: Nothing.
Day 14: I come home from work, and the trap is sprung. No squirrel. Nothing inside but bait. Okay, was it rain that tripped the trap trigger? Or maybe it just slipped off its catch?
Realizing my previous lost chance, I run and reset the trap with new bait.
An hour later I looked out, and I had him. He's trying to eat his way out of the metal trap, and I'm afraid he'll try all night resulting in a bloody mouth by morning.
So I drive him to a conservation area about 20 minutes away and release him.
I don't know why, but I reset the trap again. I don't expect to catch anything else on the back deck.
Day 15: I get up and leave for work. Trap is empty.
Mrs. grady calls me a little after 8 a.m. and informs me we have caught another squirrel. She even puts him under the deck for the day so he won't roast in the extreme heat.
Her showing kindness to the thief? Hmmmmm, something ain't right.
Anyway, that night I took off driving to release this squirrel in the same spot I released the other one the previous night. All is well until I get about 1/4 mile from the place.
"Road closed due to flooding." It's about 95 degrees out, my truck doesn't have air conditioning, and I'm dying from the heat. Now I get to drive about 6 miles through rush-hour traffic to get to the place from the other side.
I was able to access the same place to release this one, right by some water with hundreds? of acres of forest.
All told, I spent about 90 minutes driving in rush-hour traffic and extreme heat to perhaps join Mr. and Mrs. squirrel together. Sure hope there's some karma in there somewhere because I was purely roasted by the time it was over. And questioning my decision to not release them just out of town by the road somewhere.
Trap is still set. If the rabbits keep eating Mrs. grady's plants, the rabbits are next. I really want to wait because there are baby rabbits running around, and I don't want to separate them from the family.
Here's the first offender (no pics of the second). Perp is pictured at the scene of the crimes.
(I realize my camera skills are poor.)
HOLSTER PICS:) I finally got some holster pics of dukalmighty's holsters he made for me. I had him cover the auto with extra material to help keep it cleaner when I'm outside working in the heat and sweating a lot. In essense, it has dual sweatshields, both next to the body and on the outside. It serves its purpose as an outdoor holster when I expect to be doing a lot of work in dusty and/or wet locations.Originally Posted by zacii
This holster is so comfortable. I wear it in the appendix area, and the barrel lays right across my right thigh. The holster is even curved inward at that point, and it is barely even noticeable that I'm wearing it, even if seated for hours at a time.
The LH OWB revolver holster is a straight-drop which I have worn around 7-8 o'clock, where it is available to either hand. Duk also sent me a mirror-immage RH revolver holster. I like the minimalist qualities of these holsters which allow me to put more junk around my belt.
Retention on all holsters is excellent. I turned them upside down with guns inside and the holsters held.
Guns pictured are a S&W 5906, one of the last ones ever made (April 2008) and a Ruger SP-101.
XD-45 roll pin
I just happened to have a long-neck punch set on hand, and was able to replace the roll pin with no problem. There was no old roll pin or roll pin fragments inside my gun.
Thanks again, XDM40cal, for the disassembly links. It was very easy to disassemble the slide following the instructions. Just... um... for anyone else replacing the roll pin or cleaning out the striker area, make sure you put the striker back in before you reinstall the roll pin. I was listening to an armedamericanradio broadcast while working on my .45, and apparently wasn't paying that close attention.
Good thing they sent more than one roll pin.
I can possibly see a problem if a roll pin comes apart in pieces and a small piece gets down inside the slide, perhaps maybe causing the striker to jam in the worst-case situation. But if the roll pin comes out as mine did, I don't see any short-term issues. Mine fired just fine nearly a hundred times.
I found some roll pins from pistolgear that look like they're made stronger than the stock roll pins. I'll be ordering some of pistolgear's roll pins as soon as some of their other things are in stock.
I know you've all seen XD-45 pics, but since I spent so much time figuring out this email-to-photoshop-thenresize-to DC thing I'll throw a few more up.
Roll pin area is visible on top rear of slide, in front of the rear site. Yes, I got it a little wet when cleaning, hence the circle of oil/cleaner on top the slide around the roll pin.
This pic highlights the rust on a couple other pins, which I addressed after I saw this pic. It shows up more in the pic than it does just from looking.
Well, that's about all the updates. Good time to quit now anyway since my head's about to explode from hosting/resizing/saving/losing/redoing for a couple hours on an ancient computer that should have been junked several years ago.
Edit: I give up on resizing those pictures. They looked perfect when I previewed them, now they look too big on my screen.
I give up. :(
Thanks for the update and pics Grady.
You're far more patient and kind to squirrels than I'm wired to be.
(I have to admit though, that I have a soft spot for chipmunks.)
Great looking holsters BTW.

Wow grady, that's a whole lotta trouble for a couple of rodents. Somebody at PETA sure is proud of ya but, maybe this whole thing is a ploy by your wife to get you and your guns to "take a long drive". Just sayin'....
The holsters look really good. Not sure I understand the dual sweat shield thing but, it's nice to have a holster customized to your needs.
Where I used to live we had a raccoon problem. After catching the first one [I] released it about 5 miles from our house. My son said that he probably beat me home. The next 5 or 6 I dropped off at a wooded creek site near where I was working. it was about 25 miles from my home. I always wondered what they said to each other when the met " John is that you ? How did you get clear over here? Let me show you the new digs."

The number of Dunedin Hospital doctors washing their hands
leapt by 20% in the latest "hand hygiene audit".
The compliance rate for Dunedin doctors was 60% in the
October audit, compared with just 40% in the previous check,
carried out in the middle of the year.
For all staff, compliance was 63%, an increase of about 10%
on the previous audit.
The result is closer to the national target of 70%
compliance, and placed the Southern District Health Board
10th of the 20 district health boards.
There is no hand-washing audit at Southland Hospital.
Hand washing can be performed with water, or by applying an
anti-microbial agent.
Infection control clinical leader Dr Jill Wolfgang said the
October audit was a significant improvement.
"Although still below the national target of 70% compliance
with the five moments [when workers must wash their hands],
it is a notable increase ...
"Physicians, in particular, have shown an improvement, which
is pleasing."
Changing the institutional culture around hand-washing was a
gradual process, Dr Wolfgang said through a spokeswoman.
Hand washing is being promoted in the health sector by the
Health Quality and Safety Commission to reduce
hospital-acquired infections.
In October, the top-performing board reported 77% compliance,
and the lowest 43.4%. The boards are not identified.
In August, board member Richard Thomson branded the national
target "really grot", as it sent the wrong message to health

DES MOINES, Iowa - When it comes to comfort, Kirk Christie's cows have it all - a new barn, a flat-screen television and waterbeds.
That's because of the dairy farmer's philosophy that a happy cow is a productive cow.
More milk means more money, so Christie doesn't mind providing the frills.
"Them cows are my girls," said Christie, who runs a farm near Slater, about 25 miles north of Des Moines. "You ask anybody, I probably think more highly of those cows than I do myself."
Christie's 23 cows spend about 18 hours a day on waterbeds he installed in November.
He said the beds, durable rubber mats that lay flat on the ground and are filled with water, were popular with the animals from the beginning.
They provide heat for the cows in the winter and coolness in the summer, depending on the water Christie pipes in.
The beds are covered with wood chips for extra padding to prevent friction.
"They really took to them right away," he said. "When they're laying down chewing cud, they're comfortable and happy."
Christie's cows aren't the only ones enjoying such comforts.
Industry experts say waterbeds are increasingly being used in dairy farms across the country, as well as in Canada and Europe, where the idea originated more than a decade ago.
The idea is to boost milk production by making the cows more comfortable.
Leo Timms, a dairy scientist at Iowa State University, estimates cows with comfortable bedding produce 6 percent more milk daily.
"There's no question, probably one of the most important things is the comfort of the surface they lay on," said Timms, who conducts research at a university dairy facility. "The overwhelming majority (of dairy farmers) understand that."
Christie estimates his cows' milk production has increased 10 percent since he installed the waterbeds. He figured a flat-screen TV couldn't hurt, either, so the cows are spending the spring snoozing in their beds and enjoying "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Dr. Phil."
"The nice part about it is they get used to different voices," Christie said.
While Christie swears by waterbeds, most dairy farmers in the United States use other bedding methods for cows, such as mattresses or sand, industry experts said. Those methods generally are cheaper than waterbeds - which cost about $200 each - but require more upkeep, and sand sometimes can damage dairy equipment.
A study released last summer by Colorado State University found that sand and waterbeds are far more comfortable for cows than mattresses, which cause more swelling in their legs.
Temple Grandin, a professor who oversaw the project, predicted the findings would prompt more dairy farmers to invest in waterbeds but said new dairy facilities likely would be the trailblazers.
"It's going to take time," she said. "Existing dairies just aren't going to change things overnight."
Dean Throndsen is hoping they do. He owns Advanced Comfort Technology Inc., a waterbed company in Reedsburg, Wis., that sells to dairy farms across North America and Europe.
Throndsen said business has flourished since farmers in the United States began investing in waterbeds about three years ago. He said he has lost count of sales but estimates he has sold 200,000 waterbeds.
"And demand is growing tremendously," he said.

Terrible myFico.com service, just like any other scam web services.
I hope myFiCO will understand that no one really wants to use the service or recommend it to the friends or family if the cancelation process cannot be done by email or through online process.
This is what all those scam web services are doing, and I am really disappointed that myFICO require you to actually call the company to cancel the service. They make it hard to cancel the FREE subscription so that they have higher chance of making money from the customer after 7 days.
"You can join the site online, but you MUST call the to cancel" motto is just nonsence. The company will charge you $20 every month without really telling you or notify you except at the time when you join the site, on the bottom of the registration form in tiny font.
If company wants to grow its service, it needs to be professional, not something like nigerian scam service.

Perhaps you are planning a wedding or special event in the coming months. Our daughter Liv Hauck and Matt O'Rourke, married on June 20th, wanted to share about the talented people who helped make their dream wedding come true. From caterers Dan Allen and Andy Maitland to Esther Mathieu Photography, everyone involved did an outstanding job. We wish to express our most heartfelt thanks to all and thought the best way to say a big thank you to each was to provide contact information and a brief description about their businesses.
Invitation by Shaina Gregory
First and foremost, our tremendous thanks and appreciation goes to Dan Allen Catering. He, along with partner Andy Maitland (Maitland Mountain Farm), prepared an exquisite menu using the most freshest and sweetest ingredients from local farms and fisheries. The theme was New England clambake meets county dinner, based around everyone's favorite main courses—Ken Duckworth's sublime recipe for lobster risotto and a wonderfully delicious buttermilk fried chicken. Captain Joe and Sons provided the lobster and the fresh vegetables came from Maitland Mountain Farm, as well as from Appleton Farms. Even the honey butter for the cornbread came from Dan's own beehives! We were all raving about how delicious and unique were the hors d'oeuvres, which included such tantalizing tidbits as open-faced braised rib sliders, smoked tomato roasted corn arancini, and salmon canapés with mascarpone, capers, and fresh dill. Accompaniment dishes were devoured as equally as were the main courses and hors d'oeuvres—traditional clam chowder, farm fresh succotash, and homemade pickled vegetable—to name only a few.
Son Alex's Heaping Helping
Dan's assistant Mary made the divinely delicious desserts—raspberry tarts, brown butter chocolate chip cookies, brownie layers—the list goes on and on!
Dan and Andy were an absolute dream to work with. I know you will be hearing more about their catered events in the near future. Dan is in the process of launching his website and in the meantime, he may be reached at 978-491-9493 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Esther Mathieu is simply the most talented life style photographer in our region. Liv first became interested in Esther's work from her Instagram account and we all fell in love with her luminous imagery. And she is a total sweetheart to work with! The photos are a treasure and we'll be pouring over all, thanking Esther for capturing Liv and Matt's wedding day with such grace and beauty. Contact Esther at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our deepest thanks to Lisa Smith who was our fabulous videographer. Lisa is a producer at Cape Ann TV and is also a dear friend. We so appreciate her time and talent. Lisa was discreet; you would hardly know that she was present. We'll be looking at the footage in the coming days and can hardly wait to see. Lisa can be reached at: email@example.com.
Like a dream, the enchanting music floating throughout the evening was by none other than Cape Ann's own beautiful songstress Renee Dupuis and the fabulously talented Joe Cardoza and Nathan Cohen. From the sweetly romantic, "Dream a Little Dream of Me," to which the bride and groom danced their first dance, to one of the bridesmaid's favorites, "These Boots Are Made For Walkin," there isn't a song Renee, Joe, and Nathan could not play, and play beautifully. Could we have been more fortunate than to have these extraordinary talents performing at Liv and Matt's wedding? Click Renee, Joe, and Nathan to learn more about their current projects. To book the trio, contact Renee at: reneedupuismusic.gmail.com
Melissa Glorieux of Aster B. Flowers created the exquisite bride's bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, and table arrangements. Not only were the flowers full and lush and perfect, they are all locally grown at her farm in Essex! Aster. B grows her flowers using organic practices only. Read more about Melissa and her sustainable farm here: Aster B. Flowers.
The very talented Maria Cracchiolo from Caffe Sicilia made the seashore inspired wedding cake as well as the perfectly coordinating 65th anniversary cake for Liv's grandparents. Delicious and delightful (both cakes), Maria is a pleasure to work with. She also made the cannolis we served at Friday night's celebration and they too, were devoured by all! Maria can be reached at: 978-283-7345.Emily Reed did a stunning job styling the bride and bridesmaid's hairdos. Each girl's hair was perfectly suited to her personality and each was so happy with her work. It was a delight to see their expressions after she had created her magic. Emily can be reached at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Special thanks to Virgilio's Italian Bakery for catering the party the night before the wedding—the sandwiches, antipasto, and entrees were a tremendous hit. And Nancy Virgilio helped us order just the right amount so that there would be sandwiches enough for late night snacking! Call 978-283-5295 for information abut Virgilio's catering menu
Kathleen Erickson, owner of Savour Wine and Cheese, was instrumental in choosing the wines and Prosecco. We informed her of the menu and of our budget for both the reception and Friday night's celebration and she knew just what to recommend. Thank you Kathleen for the wonderful selections; they were simply perfect.
Fun and imaginative, the invitation set the tone of the wedding weekend from the get go. Liv and Matt designed the invite and worked with Shaina to refine the look. Contact Shaina at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gloucester Rental Center did an excellent job and we found nearly all of our event needs there: Gloucester Rental Center.
Last, but not in the least, we wish to thank Stan Wohlfarth of Stan's Classic Service for the vintage VW limo service. Everyone loved that bus! Stan may be reached at: email@example.com.

A Tragically Fallen Star Smolders in Memory
Hollywood's Tryst With Dorothy Dandridge Inspires Real Love at Last
By JANET MASLIN
Published: June 19, 1997
When Dorothy Dandridge played a 1953 engagement at the glamorous Mocambo nightclub in Los Angeles, cigarette girls sold copies of Charles Alfred Kinsey's ''Sexual Behavior of the Human Female'' as a publicity stunt. That was one small measure of Dandridge's phenomenal sultriness, thanks to her rare mix of poised elegance and voluptuous beauty. Reviewing her great triumph on the movie screen, The Hollywood Reporter put it succinctly: ''Dorothy Dandridge in 'Carmen Jones' -- Wow!'' Describing another of her nightclub appearances, Time said aptly that she ''came wriggling out of the wings like a caterpillar on a hot rock.''
Like her acquaintances Marilyn Monroe and Ava Gardner, Dandridge had allure that could bewitch an audience and demolish all memory of the nice girl next door. She had looks, talent, ambition, everything -- everything except a career. As an enticing black star of the 40's and 50's, she fell victim to bigotry, personal tragedy and one of Hollywood's great failures of imagination: after ''Carmen Jones'' in 1954, the year of Brown v. the Board of Education, there were no worthy follow-up roles for its incandescent star. She died at 42 in 1965, an apparent suicide, with $2.14 in the bank and much more than her share of regrets.
Adored in her day especially by black audiences (''She was our queen,'' said Nichelle Nichols, who later went on to ''Star Trek'' fame), Dandridge later fell into relative obscurity. ''Carmen Jones'' is a television perennial, and filmmakers including Spike Lee (in ''Girl 6,'' whose heroine dreams of Dandridge as a role model) have offered glowing homages to her memory. But in David Thomson's ''Biographical Dictionary of Film,'' an invaluable reference book with 1,000 entries, where the D's go deep enough to include Mark Donskoi, Basil Dearden and Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast, she does not even rate a mention.
Now her memory is revived by ''Dorothy Dandridge,'' Donald Bogle's splendid and highly readable new biography (Amistad Press), and by a two-week retrospective (enterprisingly programmed by Mr. Bogle and Bruce Goldstein) at the Film Forum from tomorrow through July 3. In charting the course of her life, both the book and the film series also offer considerable insight into the racial climate that shaped Dandridge's rise and fall.
And her story, which also has the makings of an extraordinary soap opera, will be heard again. Whitney Houston's production company is helping to present the series now that Ms. Houston has won a much-publicized battle for film rights to the biography. Others eager to star in the story reportedly included Halle Berry and Janet Jackson. (Among contemporary black female stars, it is Ms. Berry who comes closest to Dandridge's sexy insouciance and stately beauty.)
From Churches To the Movies
Dandridge's story begins at a time when no mass-market movie about an alluring, tragic black heroine would have been undertaken. Born in 1922, she grew up well aware of segregation thanks to her career as a singing child star. First as part of the Wonder Children and then with the trio called the Dandridge Sisters (only one, Vivian, was actually her sister), she performed on the church circuit and then at the Cotton Club, where black singers were instructed not to mix with white patrons. Pushing her vigorously into show business were her mother, the character actress Ruby Dandridge, and Ruby's female lover, who cruelly disciplined the children. Dorothy had two stage mothers.
As a young performer, Dorothy appeared in little films known as ''soundies'' that were made for video jukeboxes of the 1940's, with titles like ''Congo Clambake'' and ''Lazybones.''
This was also the time of so-called ''race movies'' for black audiences, made on low budgets with energy, unself-conscious attitudes and a surprising sense of freedom. (This era in black American film history is currently being explored at the Museum of Modern Art, with the May series ''Within Our Gates: American Race Films 1918-1949'' being reprised from June 24 through July 28. There will also be a panel discussion on June 24. And on June 28, the American Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, will revive a related artifact, the 1928 musical version of ''Uncle Tom's Cabin.'')
On the Film Forum's July 1 composite program billed as ''Dandridge: The Early Years,'' her fresh, flirtatious talent is much in evidence. This show includes an incredible excerpt from the Sonja Henie musical ''Sun Valley Serenade,'' in which the very white Glenn Miller Orchestra performs a sunny musical number in a ski lodge setting. Then, completely incongruously (so that the sequence could be excised by theaters in the South), out comes Dandridge in slinky black satin, beaming coyly and tap-dancing with the Nicholas Brothers as she asks the musical question, ''Pardon me, boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?'' The Glenn Miller part of the sequence looks awfully Tyrolean next to that.
Dandridge went on to marry one of the brothers, Harold Nicholas, in a brief union that brought her lingering grief. She went into labor with the couple's only child, Harolyn, on a day when Harold rushed off to a golf game and left her stranded without car keys. The baby was born brain damaged, and, rightly or wrongly, Dandridge always ascribed the trouble to a delay in the baby's delivery. She was unable to raise her daughter herself and placed her in foster care. When, late in life, Dandridge became too impoverished to pay Lynn's expenses and the child became a ward of the state, it was one of the last and worst humiliations contributing to her decline.

Full disclosure, I am a Marriott fan and the Fairfield Inn Murfreesboro is another reason why. Jan, at the front desk, immediately greeted me upon arrival, was very friendly, helpful and engaging. This set the tone for the 3 nights I stayed here on business. The room was nice, updated and clean. The wifi was strong and there was a really good sized fridge and a microwave in my room as well. The TV channel was the usual suspects and the bathroom was roomy and mildew free. All of the staff was very helpful and friendly during my stay. The breakfast had a great variety and was good, the only criticism I have is the scrambled eggs. This seems to be a trend in hotels, to use the processed scrambled eggs, some people must like them, but I am not one. Overall his hotel is a great place to stay with an excellent staff!

I have a webpage (built using HTML & jQuery) which displays the data from a MySQL database. I am using Flask to connect HTML with my database. However, my database gets updated every 15 minutes (using a separate Python Script). Currently, I stop the flask server, update the database and restart the Flask to update the webpage. My question is the following:
Is there a way to update the MySQL database in the background without having to stop the flask server? I read about concepts of AJAX and CRON, however i am not able to understand how to use them with flask asynchronously.
Note: I am a newbie in web applications and this is my first project which involves connecting client side and server side. Any help will be appreciated.

Seymour High School officials want to offer two new classes in the fall to increase advanced curriculum and foster interest in the visual arts.
Assistant Principal Catherine DuBois recently sought approval from school board trustees to add Advanced Placement physics and photography to the school's course offerings.
DuBois said having AP physics available will help better prepare students to take college-level classes and give them the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school.

By Eric Wade
Warrensburg, Mo. -- A three-peat. It's one of the hardest things for a team in any sport to pull off and that was the goal the Nevada Lady Tigers softball team took to Jennies Field at the University of Central Missouri.
The Lady Tigers came into the contest against the Pleasant Hill Chicks not only hoping to win their third consecutive district championship, but to avenge a regular season loss at Bushwhacker Field. The Lady Tigers pulled off both of those goals, winning the Class 3, District 13 tournament by a final score of 2-1.
"I don't know if you want to call it revenge," Lady Tigers head coach Tammy Holcomb said. "It's districts. We want to make sure that we come in doing our job. I think any time you lose a game to any team, that, you know, athletes want to come in and make sure that we're making up for that."
In the first meeting between the two squads, Pleasant Hill took advantage of an error and a wild pitch in the same inning to defeat the Lady Tigers by a final score of 4-2. In that contest, starting pitcher Courtney Fountain kept the Lady Tigers offense in check throughout most of the game and though the Lady Tigers gave the Chicks all they could handle, the Chicks ultimately did what it took to win.
Fountain had an equally strong performance Friday as she held the Lady Tigers to just two runs on seven hits with three strikeouts, but Lady Tigers starter Christian Novak was at her peak once again, and kept the Chicks off the board with the help of the Lady Tigers defense for the majority of the contest.
The two runs the Lady Tigers were able to get off of Fountain came in the top of the first inning, when Fountain was still trying to find her rhythm. The first of those runs came when Carsten Warner drove in Reagan Bradley with a RBI single to left. Novak helped her own cause later in the inning as she knocked in Mackenzie Pritchett with a line drive single of her own, giving the Lady Tigers a 2-0 lead after just half an inning.
Both pitchers settled into their rhythms from that point on, treating fans to the exciting pitching duel that everyone in the near-capacity crowd was expecting. The two pitchers, combined, allowed just four hits and three runs throughout the contest.
"I mean, I'm glad we came out swinging the bat, which helps Christian a lot," Holcomb said. "That makes her relax a lot, be able to do her job and just be able to pitch around a little bit and just put the ball where we want it. Christian did a very nice job and the opposing pitcher did a nice job."
Before Holcomb took over as head coach, the Lady Tigers had never won a district championship or even challenged for a state championship, but in the past three seasons, Holcomb and the Lady Tigers she's coached have now earned the right to claim three district championships and the only state title in program history.
The third district title didn't come easy, however. The Lady Tigers knew coming into the contest that they would have to be on their best game to earn the title and Mother Nature certainly didn't help the cause. The two squads were forced to play in temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s throughout the night with a stiff northwest wind, which made the ball take a very unpredictable path on nearly every fly ball.
"It was cold both ways," Holcomb said. "We both had to play last night, I mean, in all honesty, I think that we were prepared a little bit."
Coming into the championship matchup, the Chicks had to play in similar conditions on their way to a 10-3 semifinal win over Harrisonville, while the Lady Tigers had to battle not only cold temperatures and wind, but rain as well in a 7-4 win over Clinton.
On championship day, neither squad seemed to suffer many ill effects from the poor weather conditions or the damp field as Novak finished with eight strikeouts and no walks, while Fountain struck out three in a hard-fought contest that wasn't decided until the final pitch was thrown.
With their district championship, the Lady Tigers also improved their record to 17-8 on the year and are now set to move into the state playoffs against the District 14 champion -- Grain Valley -- on Wednesday, Oct. 10.

Visited after some locals I met the day before told me I should check it out. Awesoe ambiance, old school wooden pub built inside the brewery, right next to the tanks. The service is friendly and the people are passionate about their beer. Prices are good, you can get flights. The beer is solid, not too special though. Definitely recommended if youre on your way through Buellton or here anyway for Firestone Barrelworks.
Marheb (376) San Diego, California | March 6, 2015
Situé à une distance raisonnable (30min) à pied de Firestone/Barrelworks. Petit pub avec une tonne de charme et dhabiletés en commençant par la collection de barbelés dans lentrée. Des bands se donnent en spectacle entre deux fermenteurs aussi parfois. Pour ce qui est de la bière, cest assez égal de la ipa à limpériale stout mais rien qui émerge dramatiquement.
Defreni (56) Husum, Denmark | July 27, 2014

Its located in an unassuming, non-touristy area of Buellton. It has undergone an evolution of sorts, at key times in its development. Its owned by a local person, which allows him to be in touch with the community. When I first starting patronizing the brewpub (Feb 11), there were never more than a handful of people there. With the beers exploding popularity, its nearly impossible to find a seat now on a weekend. The wait staff is patient and attentive. However, there simply may be too few of them to handle the demand at times. The overall pleasant and patient personality of the wait staff parallels that of the manager, Dave, who is a British gentleman who has experience in the brew pub industry. Fig. Mtn.s mug club was a brilliant idea and has morphed into its own fraternal sub-culture. There is certainly some envy of club members without the conceit from members. Theres plenty of social involvement--even among members and non-members. While membership is exclusive, it is not necessarily the result of VIP, power, or wealth. Its more due to luck, being in the know, and perhaps being in the right place at the right time. The way its been explained to me is that nearly immediately after the brew pub opened in Fall 2010, the waitlist for the mug club was pages deep. Pints of anything Fig. Mtn. has are available. They have bombers to take with you and they also sell growlers at a reasonable price. But, the sampler flights are very popular. Particularly among non-mug club members and tourists. The brewer, AJ Stoll, a Santa Cruz Banana Slug and former dorm room homebrewer is a genius. This is one of those rare occasions where a local business owner pairs up with a subject matter expert who likely far surpasses any expectations the owner had at the businesss inception. Good for them and great for us, the consumers. Lastly, I like that Fig. Mtn. is in an anonymous area of town. It has now added a beer garden to the east side of their building. All outdoors with some grass, fire pits, adirondack chairs, picnic tables, umbrellas for shade, a bocce ball court, horseshoe pits, and a stage for live music. This has immensely improved the atmosphere, hence my increase in the rating, in addition to the space issue that was becoming a problem.
Thrillhouse35 (37) California | July 22, 2013
Have visited this place many times and just now getting around to reviewing it. You walk through what looks like a reception area to get into the tasting room, which has the distinct smell that reminds you that you are sitting in a brewery. The beers are pretty average, and priced fairly decently as well. On an interesting note, they give you a bowl of pretzels and mustard which are a pleasant snack will drinking the brews.
Schlenkerla (504) , Austria | February 9, 2013
We visited the place late 2011, they just celebrated their first year. Nice looking brewery with a great tap room. Beers were very tasty, considering the brewery was so new in business, very impressive. This brewery might have a bright future.
bytemesis (758) Sunnyvale, California | February 4, 2013
I have to admit; this was my backup. My plan was to hit the FW barrelhouse, but it was closed, so I headed here, and I am glad I did. Quite a nice place, doing a great business on Superbowl Sunday. 10 taps running, and four 4 oz tasters were only $6. Their regular lineup was also available as bombers for $5. I ended up unknowingly sitting next to the owner, who was a pretty good guy and loved talking about beer. I wish the beer was a bit better overall.
brokensail (1295) Dublin, California | December 24, 2012
Interesting place. An outdoor seating area out front, a small lobby area with some couches and another area just before the bar with some tables. Fairly small bar, but lots of space and tables in the main tasting room area. They had a live band playing. The service was pretty quick and friendly. Flights of 4 beers were $6. Beers on the whole were just okay, but all were something you could drink a glass of. Interesting "old western" decor, too.
t0rin0 (1516) Do Not Resuscitate, California | December 22, 2012
Finally made it here for my first time yesterday (12/21/12). Ive been trying for a while, basically since they opened.
This place was pretty nice, maybe not a in the expensive restaurant sense but as a brewery that doesnt serve food I had a lot of fun. There was a band playing some blues as well as the obligatory Christmas songs, free pretzels, friendly servers, and plenty of drunk asses Advocating hard. There is also a bit of random stuff on the walls like the history of the nail or history of fencing materials.
There were 12 taps, a few bottles for takeaway, growlers, and souvenier glasses available. The IPAs were the best beers hands down. Some of the others were interesting like the red lager and the brown ale. The second anniversary unfortunately was not very good on tap, though I had it a few weeks earlier from the bottle at Pizza Port Strong Ale Fest and it was considerably better then. Prices on flights are moderately high. We paid $18 + tip on 12 samples.
There was a food truck outside and plenty of free pretzels and mustard inside. Decent amount of seating and even a couch in the lobby area. With 12 taps Ill make sure to stop in again some time. Its also just a few miles (about 4) from Solvang Brewing.

So I just had an awesome weekend out in the mud flats and when I went into town to fill the tires back up with air I noticed something new.
On my dash my blinker indicator (the left one) Is illuminated even when my blinker switch is in the middle position. When I do turn my left blinker on all it does is make my tail light and two other turn signals turn on solid, no flashing. But there is more...
It Got dark out, so I turned my head lights on, When I turn my turn signal on for my left blinker no lights except the rear come on...
I'm very frustrated because i'm in college and don't have much money to fix anything pricey at this moment.
So... is it as simple as replacing the whole turn signal box that is inside of the steering collum or is it something else. Please help and if you would like me to post pictures I can do that as well.
Check you turn signal realy, not too expensive and easy to replace. I had a similar problem 8 or 9 bucks fixed it.
check the front bulb that was not working. bet its blown.
The turn indicator staying on is a warning that one of the side or front marker lights are blown. Can also mean a brake/turn light is gone.
Blown bulb, all cars do it. It aint just a Jeep thang.
Thanks, looked at the front bulb and it was cracked and shattered in my hands. Easy fix.

Q:It this item is carbord?
1 answer
A:Our 12 inch diameter pedestals and columns have double-walled construction, and are constructed from corrugated cardboard.
Q:Will the 12' columns accommodate a floral twining around the column from top to bottom? Other than cat liter bags, are there any other weighted items that can help ensure that it will not fall over? This is for a wedding, we would not want it to topple during the ceremony
1 answer
A:Yes, adding floral twining would be fine. Anything can be used for stability - a brick, etc. but a snakk bag of cat litter is also recommended.
Q:If I needed to cut them down 1' is the material easy to cut

For the buy back. That news should lift us over the $15 mark and the 200dma finally.Drinks on me.
Hitting on all cylinders.You da man
How were you able to determine that it is hitting on all cylinders when statements were just released today? Is your judgment solely based on the earnings release?After looking at the financial statements, I still feel that not all divisions are delivering. With that said, I am starting to rethink the $28 ceiling. The reason is that as things stabilize we are seeing rising industry P/B ratios. Financials are rapidly catching up to the P/B market norm again. And at 0.82 it is starting to look at the low side when compared with the current industry average. It could easily be at 0.92 which would bring it a little over $30. But trading close to its book value is not totally out of the question either. Besides, the norm for financials right now is to trade at book value. Just look at the XLF.

Banned/Challenged Book: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Reason for Banning: Book contains content issues about alcohol, bullying, profanity and sexual issues.
Excerpt from Artist's Statement: The book tells the story of Junior, a high school freshman who lives on a Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to get a good education, he transfers to a high school off the reservation, where he's the only Native American – except the mascot. My illustration shows the tension between stereotypes and real people that make this book engaging and funny.
