Do you mind if we talk about assumptions for a minute? We're all guilty of looking at a person and making snap decisions – stereotypical or not. Usually, I try to be self aware enough to know what people might think of me, but there's always one that surprises.
The MrMr's family have always considered me somewhat undomesticated – the word 'barbarian' was once used by the English Grandmother, I kid you not. I'm not sure whether it's because of the simple fact that I'm Australian or because I spend most of my life living out of suitcases and/or thinking about the next big international move – either way, whenever they witness me doing even the most basic thing Chez Moi, it's always met with incredulity. I know that they value me in other ways, so it's not all doom and gloom, but on this front I've tried the debunk and nothing sticks. Instead, I've decided to work it in my favour.
I woke up early last Sunday morning. La Mother-in-Law Francaise was staying over, so instead of whipping on the telly for some sit-com catch-ups, I hit the kitchen. The guys over at Lakeland had sent me a set of Mermaid crumpet rings to try out and I'd made a batch already and couldn't believe how easy – and healthy – they were. All you need is the right ingredients, a few kitchen essentials, a little time and WHAMMO! Not only does your tummy get filled, your home-cred rockets too. Score (for now).
250g strong white flour, sieved
7g dried active yeast
½ tspn salt
1 tspn castor sugar
½ tspn bicarbonate of soda
100ml water
275ml milk
Butter, for greasing and eating
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes per batch of four
Makes approximately 16 crumpets
Mixing bowl
Crumpet rings
- Heat the water and milk until lukewarm.
- In a large mixing bowl, sieve the flour and add the yeast, castor sugar, bicarb soda and salt.
- Mix in the milk and water with a whisk until a batter is formed.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and place somewhere warm for an hour. The mixture should have risen and be full of lots of bubbles.
- Grease the inside of the crumpet rings with the butter and heat your non-stick frying pan. Add a little oil to the pan.
- Place the crumpet rings into the frying pan and fill them just under half way with the batter (approximately two tablespoons).
- Cook on a medium-to-low heat for ten minutes, until the surface has bubbled, formed holes and dried out.
- Using a pair of tongs, remove the rings once the crumpets have shrunk away from the sides – be careful, they're really hot.
- Flip the crumpets so the tops can brown.
- Serve however you like them or save for the toaster later.

Take the pledge
"Citing Abuse of Power, MoveOn.org, Human Rights Watch, Center for Constitutional Rights and Others Launch Grassroots Movement to Defend Democracy …" That's the headline from a press release issued today by the American Freedom Campaign (AFC), a new grassroots citizens movement whose aim is to make protecting our constitutional rights a priority in the coming election cycle. The group will urge presidential candidates to sign the American Freedom Pledge: "We are Americans, and in our America we do not torture, we do not imprison people without charge or legal remedy, we do not tap people's phones and emails without a court order, and above all we do not give any President unchecked power." The goal of the campaign is to preserve the vision of the nation's Founders—that no President is above the law. Here are the campaign's ten goals:
Fully restore the right to challenge the legality of one's detention, or habeas corpus, and the right of detained suspects to be charged and brought to trial.
Prohibit torture and all cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
Prohibit the use of secret evidence.
Prohibit the detention of anyone, including U.S. citizens, as an "enemy combatant" outside the battlefield, and on the President's say-so alone.
Prohibit the government from secretly breaking and entering our homes, tapping our phones or email, or seizing our computers without a court order, on the President's say-so alone.
Prohibit the President from "disappearing" anyone and holding them in secret detention.
Prohibit the executive from claiming "state secrets" to deny justice to victims of government misdeeds, and from claiming "executive privilege" to obstruct Congressional oversight and an open government.
Prohibit the abuse of signing statements, where the President seeks to disregard duly enacted provision of bills.
Use the federal courts, or courts-martial, to charge and prosecute terrorism suspects, and close Guantanamo down. Reaffirm that the Espionage Act does not prohibit journalists from reporting on classified national security matters and that they may do so without fear of prosecution.

That compares with 45,254 patients treated for non-trauma care overall during that period. Health officials are conducting surveillance across the state to monitor effects related to the spill at more than 20 sites in Mobile and Baldwin counties.
Forty-seven of the patients complaining of oil-caused symptoms were exposed via inhalation, 25 by contact, three through ingestion, nine patients reported multiple exposures, and 19 were exposed indirectly, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.
Direct exposures are exposures to oil or oil by-products through contact, inhalation or ingestion, according to public health officials. Indirect exposures occur because of other circumstances associated with the oil spill.
For example, heat exhaustion during cleanup efforts or mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression, would be examples of indirect exposure, said Dr. Thomas Miller, with the Alabama Department of Public Health.

To the Editor:
It's been a week since the New York State Fair ended its yearly run. I was able to go twice. I was vexed when my cousin wanted to go into the buildings with the animals. I can only see the conditions of the buildings as cruel to the animals.
I don't see how fairgoers can casually view cages of rabbits stacked on one another, and let children poke their fingers through. One attraction boasted to have the world's smallest horse. It was only a miniature horse, forced in a pen that was beneath a platform.
But it's my hope enough people will see my appeal for us to say ''Enough!'' We can enjoy the fair, but why must it be at an innocent animal's expense?

Published in Investing on 12 June 2012
Markets and financials fall back, but tobacco is on the rise.
The FTSE 100 (UKX) has been flat this morning, and at 5,454 it's just 22 points up on yesterday's close, which is less than half a percent. That's largely because the Spanish banking bailout excitement quickly fizzled out, and the net result is no change at all really.
The story is the same with Spain's IBEX 35, which jumped yesterday morning then fell back, and is up 53 points this morning to 6,570, for a 0.8% gain. Across Europe, it's been largely: "The banks and the euro are saved! ... oh, no they're not".
In the FTSE 100 (UKX), banks and financial are deflating again after yesterday's brief respite. Barclays (LSE: BARC) is down 3p, or 1.5%, to 187p, and Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) has lost 1.5p, for a 1% fall to 115p.
Tobacco is on the up, with British American Tobacco (LSE: BATS) gaining 62p to 3,173p and Imperial Tobacco (LSE: IMT) up 31p to 2,410p, for gains of 2% and 1.3% respectively.
Marks & Spencer (LSE: MKS) is down 3.7p, or 1.4%, to 328p, while 3I Group (LSE: III) has dropped 3.6p for a 2% fall to 179p.
Among other companies in the news, high-tech plastics specialist Carclo (LSE: CAR) released full-year results that saw revenues increase by 5%, with underlying operational profit growing by an impressive 12%. At 380p, the shares are up 16p, or 4.5%.
Model railway maker Hornby (LSE: HRN) regained a little of its recent slump, picking up 6p to 76p, for an 8% gain.
Less impressive final results from home-shopping operator Findel (LSE: FDL), which slipped to a loss per share, knocked 9% of the price, pushing it down to 3.4p. And plastic packaging manufacturer RPC Group (LSE: RPC) saw its shares lose 33p to 364p after its results, a fall of 8%.
Premier Foods (LSE: PFD) lost 6%, falling 5.5p to 81p, after two of its executives said this month that they will stand down.
News of production forecasts from its latest well has disappointed investors in Nostra Terra O&G (LSE: NTOG), and the shares have dropped 15% to 0.6p. The company's market cap has been slashed over the past year, and it's worth just £12m now.
The somewhat larger Range Resources (LSE: RRL) slipped by 7% after an update on its interests in Colombia -- the shares are down 0.6p to 8.4p.
Other movers include New World Oil & Gas (LSE: NEW), down 0.3p -- 3% -- to 10.8p, while Xcite Energy (LSE: XEL) barely budged on news of an agreement with BP (LSE: BP), and Condor Resources (LSE: CNR) gained nearly 4% to 3.5p after a positive drilling report.

BAY CITY, MI — A Bangor Township man initially accused of firing a handgun in a game of Russian roulette has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in exchange for the dismissal of two felonies.
Luke C. Prieur, 38, last week appeared in Bay County District Court and pleaded guilty to one count of reckless use or discharge of a firearm. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to dismiss single counts of felony firearm and discharging a weapon in a building. The former charge carries a mandatory two-year sentence to be served consecutively to any other terms, while the latter charge has a four-year maximum.
The morning of Feb. 19, Bay County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to Prieur's home in reference to a gunshot. Prieur's wife told deputies she and her husband had been arguing over her dating another man when he pulled a .32-caliber revolver and pointed it at his head. Prieur pulled the trigger three times, then went into a different room and pulled it again, this time firing a round into the ceiling, court records indicate.
Prieur then told his wife he was going "take care of" the other man and himself and left the scene, Prieur's wife told deputies. She added that Prieur never pointed the gun at her or assaulted her.
Deputies searched for Prieur but on being unable to find him, returned to his house to discover he had arrived there in the interim. Prieur said his wife drove him to a relative's house in Pinconning, where he stashed the gun.
Deputies arrested Prieur, who told them he had been playing Russian roulette a lot lately.
District Judge Dawn A. Klida is to sentence Prieur at 9 a.m. on July 25.

The top-ranked team in Connecticut received a bit of a scare from a late Hoophall entry, but New London pulled away in the second half behind its defense and senior guard Torin Childs-Harris.
"In the first half we played kind of lazy but in the second half we knew we had to step it up and play to our potential," said Childs-Harris, who's being recruited to play at the Division I college level.
Childs-Harris sure played to his potential, with a game-high 34 points and 13 rebounds en route to being named the game's MVP.
New London, 8-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state by the New Haven Register, trailed 35-30 at halftime before taking over. The Whalers were helped by two of Albany's players fouling out.
"Once (Albany's) players started to get into foul trouble we had to pick it up because the number of players that went out, that meant more players had to come in that weren't normally in the rotation," Childs-Harris said. "We had to pick it up."
For a while it looked like Albany would pull off an upset.
"I thought we did a good job offensively of running our sets," said Albany junior Jelani Currie, who scored 22 points for the Cadets. "We were getting good open shots. (But) in the second half we turned it over a little bit and No. 2 (Childs-Harris) got going."
Albany was added to the Hoophall slate when Connecticut power Hillhouse had to drop out.
"I thought it was a good experience," Currie said. "The guys were real excited. It was an opportunity to see some guys who are going to go D-1 and maybe play in the pros, so it was a real good experience."

The attraction between Cancer and Scorpio is magnetic, deeply felt, and has the potential to withstand the test of time. The warmth and caring nature of Cancer feel regenerating to Scorpio, and Scorpio sense of an all-encompassing love appeals to you Cancer deeply. Both have the similar ways of expressing their love and make each other feel "at home".
A Scorpio man is an invincible person. He is an extremist with calm and steady surface and smoldering passion within him. Beneath the soft voice of Scorpio male lays his subtle strategies to enhance his career and personal life. He is one person who loves luxury and comforts immensely. He can sink into depression, or rise to intoxicating heights of ecstasy. In love with a Cancer woman, he is a passionate lover who knows all the synonyms of romance and eroticism. Though he is a great lover, but together with it he is very jealous and suspicious in nature too. He can be passionate just about anything, including sex, love and family. If you look at the surface, he will look totally calm and composed. Just look beneath that outer layer of his and you will find his smoldering passion.
A Cancer woman is enigmatically feminine. She is a gentle and kind lady with a good sense of humor and capturing aura of delicate personality. Her feelings are sensitive and tender and her loyalty is spotless. Though, she may not look very strong, but she is a tower of strength for her dear ones and perfectly able to manage herself, if alone. Patience is her dearest virtue and flexibility is her biggest weapon to win in all circumstances. Being in love with a Scorpio man, stirs the deepest emotions of the Cancer female making her a perfect match for a passionate male like him.
Cancer woman is always an interesting lady for a Scorpio man. She is full of such feminine mysteries which a curious Scorpio man always wants to unfold completely but gently. She has a reserved outlook in the beginning which attracts him but soon she shows him her great sense of humor which makes even a serious person like him to smile. She brings colors and joys to his life and provides him with a companion who is always by his side to love, care and understands his feelings. She is actually one person who understands him well deep to his soul and knows what goes on under his cool and composed surface. Loyalty is the biggest trait that makes him feel comfortable with a Cancer woman. Though to his dislike, he can find her to be possessive and bossy at times and also has to tolerate her mood swings but with such love and loyalty in return, he understands her value and keeps a cool temper while dealing with her mood swings.
The Scorpio man is one male who can easily win a Cancer woman's heart. He appreciates and understands her very well and soon converts their understanding into a romantic endeavor. He deals with the wounded feelings of her with great compassion, understanding her dreadful heartaches and soothes them out with his passionate love and thick blankets of care and devotion. He gives her the protection and care which she craves for deeply with such intensity that it makes her feel complete in all dimensions of her existence. He is one person who cuddles her like a baby and respects her like a lady. She needs to understand that his chief faults are his suspicious nature, jealousy, and a desire to dominate others, especially the lady love of his life. To overcome these demons eclipsing his golden heart, she just needs to be a bit more patient as with time his confidence increases and he starts giving space to her being sure of her wisdom and trustworthiness.
The Cancer woman and the Scorpio man makes one of the best possible pair with great compatibility and warmth that is both emotionally and physically very intense and rich. As their love grows and they soar high with each other and experience an undoubted confidence in their relationship, she gives her complete trust to her Scorpio man and he grants her with the gift of forgiveness, which he never gave to anyone. She helps him to be reborn and discover his true personality, charm and magnetism with her unlimited devotion and tenderness while he helps to remove all the fears out of his Cancer damsel's heart and teaches her to fly high fearlessly with his undivided attention and care for her. Their home is a temple of love where they both keep each other on pedestal to worship and offer their devotion, care and affection throughout their lives.
Sexually, the Scorpio man and Cancer woman makes one of the most amazing duo. The Water from both the signs mixes so well, that its serenity and soothing feel keeps nurturing their love. The Scorpio man's love nature is more intense and yearning than that of most men and hers is more romantic and sensitive than that of most women. Both of them long for a certain degree of security in a relationship which they get from their emotional attachment and enhance with the purity of love making. Cancer female's heart is almost always turned on by sensing peace and coziness she feels by being held in her Scorpio lover's arms while he needs loyalty, that he can get in plenty from Cancer lady love. He enjoys it when her heart starts beating terribly fast during the act and her face getting so flush. Most times she wants so much to match his torturously delicious movements with her own, but she holds her emotions firmly. Actually she must let him know how much he drives her crazy and how much she is in love with him. As they become aware of each other's unspoken needs, their physical mating can be a truly transcendental experience and their sexual union becomes a strange mixture of eroticism and purity.
As this is always a very wonderful couple but nothing is actually perfect and to reach perfection some amount of sacrifice is always needed, they must first conquer together their most negative traits: Cancer woman's baseless fears and possessiveness, Scorpio man's burning jealousy and revenge compulsion and also their mutual financial caution. If these differences are passed by successfully there can be hardly any Scorpio-Cancer relationship that is ever broken. As both of them are outrageous in nature and tend to retreat into solitude when angry, to have a healthy relationship they should rather openly talk it over to find solutions. Otherwise, a very lovely relationship may end up abruptly, after which they invariably miss each other very much usually throughout their lives.

my bf or u can say my future husband 🙂 is scorpio and im cancerian..we both know ech other from 4 years and we have an amazing type of romance or u can say sex….he always cares me like a baby and kinda typ of jealous, if any any one compilments me he becomes jealous because he doesnt want any one beside him 2 have a look on me or appreciates me or cares me..he wants me just for himself..he is so much passionate about me my whole personality or u can say he is crazy about me 🙂 but i knw his nature nd try to cover tht up 🙂 and i am totaly of him and loyal to him to extreme..he keeps me with him on fone if he is soo busy in meting or any where else but still he remain in touch wth me 24 hours..we have sex every second day but his need for me never fulfill,, all tht tym he wants me…he cant live without meeting me …i also have same feelings for him.. he cares me sooo much even more than my parents..we truly love each other and soon we got married…Inshallah 🙂
I am a 18 years old cancer woman that hardly get over with scorpio man. attach is the best term rather. The heart-breaking day comes and I was crying so miserably (im expecting this day would come and I even practice myself but the pain is very penetrating) 4 weeks had passed after the breaking up and I couldn't get him out of my head. Its funny how everything written here are spot on. HAHAHA!. suprisingly. Astrology says Cancerian seeks for romance which is true. Easily breakdown emotionally and the mood swing. But the funny part is how it describes perfectly the scorpio man. He is secretive and calm but there is smoldering passion beneath of his composure. Thanks to him for touching my heart and my romance-seeker had been rid-off and this silly longing wont bother me leading me to misinterpret my feelings especially boys' kind intention. Now I am one-sidedly loved him because thinking of him even if we're living in different world is way very weird. I cant hate him because he believes in me that I can endure the pain when he said what he wants even if it means of hurting me. He didnt leave me confuse and all and it made me love him even more. Maybe at this point he is the only man who made me feel this extreme emotion that's why I am very attach to him. The thing I learned most while being with him is to never afraid of future. Have faith in God's will for both of us and live. So reading in horoscope is very helpful but praying is really the best because meditation leads you to make rational and wise decision 🙂
Cancer is fine fire scoprio is not a good kisser good hands good touch but no no more???? so im saying yes to trying but 3 out of 5 cause the pisces cancer is a darling and actually sees whats going on around so he kinda keeps up to his interests and activities wherethere the pisces – scorpio aries leo leo is so not off guard and doesnt lead u to sex to try just looks and thats all when im saying its either there or no im saying no cause ive seen a pisces and he is more kinda caring and o so he can kinda relate or come into situation with a movie with going out with taking care of friends family gf wherethere this one is not just dickhead lke decan 3 and 3 but also not an straight forward person not active not active as in the sense of bed or geting close or trying to come into the serious contact or link with the she partner where she is trying to also get together have a future have a relationship move out or move into the house so im thinking the sex wouldvebeen nice but not to his eyes or mouth just like his hands like n get it so im thinking without naming a letter a bad experience on the first date when no hotel no wish no wish where you wana be heading and also lyer about money about practicality when there are sparks and using that to ur advantage to blend in no just going into it or offering to come dine in a restaurant like steak house or fridays romanticly or sexually or physically being opt out from the room people and the show audoence about so no Im thinking the rule goes as it says normal one and thats all scorpio maybe but it gets worse when scxorpio becomes a mouse. or in this sense when scorpio my dad libra and bull so forth so get it off turned.ur decan ur light into something like ….. remote to control a man so im thinking that sex maybe good but kiss and touch ok; also toooo slow cause there r ones that u would like to get to know further one but this one seems to think he is the only one in the room no jealsousy nothing where pisces scorpio is even comparible more jealous then you like one. So aries atleast has it but not when u have an aries to excuse urself to get off ur get on or not thinking where ur going or what ur willing to do like i just said.

Back get it the scene so im thinking aries got it somehow better off as a right match right and also more actibe nut not based leo – aries" based on a date first meeting in an hour not going to the southland movie not having it in the car like aries in the house in the car plus imaginatively thinking at work or near work with flowers with tickets and beince nice polite words where here its just like yeAr im an one lets go out but not out ill just sit there and watch a movie. or lie there and watch a movie with nothing going on around. Just like my sister. ( or my mother; so i agree with the aries on this one as an old stuff that works get ur book ur ideas or facts and get it somewhere on the irst date and second maybe even longer time when here is just like tara pop o pop o so anything aound means a no:( really good impession of an guy who is one year olde but also aies and older knowledgeable also indian and takes a girl out to his house to meet his family no father just a mother cause someone passed away no sister and no brother so looks really loving.

I'm a cancer girl born July 12 and my boyfriend is a scorpio born on October 27th. This article is just so cute and because we've only started dating very recently, I can't say this is correct just yet but we do share great chemistry. I met him at work, I worked there long before he did and I must say, I never believed in love at first sight until I saw him, I fell for him the moment I laid my eyes on him. I was with a Gemini, Taurus and Aquarius before and with all of them I had to lead the relationship but with him, I did ask him out first but after that he took the lead and boy, is that refreshing! I've always wanted my man to take the leash but they never did, however this man seems to know what I like… even though I'm he's very first girlfriend! He was saying b/c i'm he's first girlfriend he didn't really know what he was doing but he felt very comfortable around me and that it feels as though we have been dating for a long time. I agree with him 100% on this and because I'm so in love with him and am very content about where we're going with this, I truly wish for us to last a lifetime. We didn't have sex but we did some other things that involved sexual interaction, and I have never felt so much pleasure even though we didn't have full on sex. I love this man and he loves me, he makes me feel loved just by gazing at me. Wish every cancer girl would meet a darling scorpio like mine 🙂
I'm a cancer woman. I'm amazed at most of the comments as to they're exactly what I've been going through with my scorpio man. We met about 6 months ago on my job. I had a bad breakup with a Capricorn man before this so I was focused on getting him back, Not meeting someone else. He's older than me in his 40's. I'm 31. Our attraction was instant and intense. I've never even thought about an older guy. As older guys don't much appeal to me. But he is wonderful. I feel so drawn to him. The down side is he's in a relationship with a woman. Actually with numerous women but our attraction is kinda unspoken. He tells me he loves me but I dismiss it as jokes. He tells everyone how he feels about me. I think, "how can you when you don't know me?" But I secretly deeply love him as well. He gets so jealous when I talk to others or give my attention to others. I find it cute. I get mesmerized when I gaze in his eyes and it's like he reads my every thought or desire. This is a painstaking situation as I just want us to be. I want to be able to give myself to him fully. Sometimes, I have to try so hard to restrain myself from touching him and kissing him. Things are so innocent between us I don't want it to change. I don't want it to get worse. It could always get better. I guess I'm venting my frustration on here because I want to know what do I do with this kind of thing. Having to hold back so much emotion for someone when I know things would be great! But I also can't play second fiddle to anyone.
Have to say not sure about the cancer female scorpion male thing
Have to say I did like one and even asked him out which is very rare for me to chase a man. He said no, then showed his true colours.
Rude, chauvanistic, no manners, arrogant, blowing hot and cold, into mind games. Reverse Psychology. Very immature and thinks he can do my job without even any training.
A truly narcisstistic person. Move on, like I have. I'm too good for you and can do much better. If a Cancerian Girl ignores you and refuses to speak to you the trust is gone for good – it's over ! get the message.
@ashley225 are you Muslim
@GabriellaCosciaLondon Hello I'm a cancer man and I was wondering how's it like being a female cancer. Like I wanna know whats different so far
I'm deeply insecure we cancer girls feel emotion and passion I'm very shy unless I get to know you I'm very typical of a cancer woman. I'm shy but sexual there's a cancer guy where I work he's quiet I'm outspoken I do we close off if men hurt us we are manipulative and will be cutting sometes unintentional oh and I like the power of men I have to get what I want. Cancer men I am not keen on its hard you have to fall in love and I did with scorpion male though sadly I've fallen out of love with him. We can be negative depressed and bitter all in one go. Cancer women have an array of emotions are moody and personally I like strong silent men who allows me some independence if he leads. Does that help.
@GabriellaCosciaLondon Honestly even though I am 18 I've learned a lot about other Cancers, I mean I got into horoscopes maybe a year or year and a half ago. Mainly because of my favorite actres who's a Taurus Megan Fox. I mean I have had 2 cancer teachers in school, I was close with both of them as friends and they weren't exactly shy. My teacher was Ms D. Williams, she was a strong African American middle school science teacher, I was like a son to her because she only had daughter. It's because of her that I'm good at science, my other teacher was a strong and funny Italian male teacher Global teacher. My nickname from him was Wizard because I would do something random out of no where, he was an awesome teacher and he was like a big brother to me because I'm the oldest child in my family.He was a very funny man, I also had a cancer best friend in middle school, was a player but he was still my friend.
@GabriellaCosciaLondon I know it's been a while but I wanted to know old you were because I'm 18 at the moment
I am a Cancer woman (23 years old) and my boyfriend is a Scorpio (25 years old). Our relationship is pretty new but I can still say this is all 100% true and even though we haven't experienced all of these aspects YET, I can already see it happening. My best friend of 18 years is a female Scorpio and we have always been this way with each other. One thing I know for certain is Cancer and Scorpio are almost complete opposites, and in the strangest way this makes it work so naturally. Cancer is the scorpios strength emotionally and is always the one to mend the relationship when there is a falling out (which there will be), but even if cancer and Scorpio go weeks without talking, they find their way back to where they left off. Scorpio is the grounded one, and keeps the cancer grounded. When I am questioning my sanity I always call my BFF and she can tell me honestly if I am being ridiculous or not, and she is the first to be proud of me for my accomplishments too.
One thing I have experienced with Scorpio ( with my best friend and boyfriend) is that they like to be the chaser.
In other words,
They want to be the one who smothers their partner and be dominant, while cancer needs reassurance because we are scared to lose them. I feel this is the most confusing and maybe the only negative thing in a cancer Scorpio relationship.
You have to let Scorpio come to you and then return the love, and when you accept this as a cancer… that's when things will go smooth.
Scorpio are loyal when they have their heart set on a partner, and they are very grounded in their relationships.

Our opinion: Linking issues
January 29, 2013
Over the years we have periodically found fault with Sen. Joe Scarnati, the Brockway Republican, who is president pro tempore of the Pennsylvania Senat....
They should not "play politics" yet that is all that it seems to be now.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Dear Editor,
The good Senator doesn't want your "laurel," but he would gladly accept a free trip to the Super Bowl.
For all we know, he may have already secured that trip for this weekend. If that's the case, the WTO can be first in line to pay for Super Bowl Joe's adventure to next year's big game.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
PedroJoe, c'mon. YOU would have accepted a free trip to the Super Bowl! If Scarnati had had the good sense to go with the Rooneys, who also invited him, we all would have said, "Sweet!" My God, it was a GAME! It's not as though he accepted a mansion or an interest in a gold mine. Yes, it was wrong, and dumb. But it's history. YOU have never made a mistake? Well, we know the answer to that. By posting on here, you show us all what a doofus you are! Get into 2013!

You can select BC freqs on either VFO, IF the VFO is not assigned to the transmitter. This is true on the ver of firmware I have (1.372, I think) but may be different on other versions. So--to answer the original question, assign VFO A (or B) to the SUB rx, making sure that the chosen VFO is NOT assigned to transmit. Then depress VFO A enter, (freq display clears) enter "4455.9" (or whatever), and depress VFO A enter again. You should be tuned to listen on 4455.9Khz. Only the sub receiver will tune very far beyond the ham bands. After the overlap (allowed for MARS Freqs) the software blocks your "adventure".

By Patsy R. Brumfield / Daily Journal
3:35 p.m.
TUPELO – Steveland Hood was sentenced to five years' probation, and Judge James Roberts sternly cautioned him to walk the legal line or find himself heading for a 20-year sentence, which Roberts suspended.
(Read Wednesday's Daily Journal for details.)
* * *
TUPELO – Steveland Hood pleaded guilty today to kidnapping two people during an alcohol-induced event in 2008.
Hood, 34, entered his plea after an hour-long hearing that resulted in Circuit Judge James Roberts' declaring him competent to stand trial.
A few minutes later, Hood's attorney, Anthony Farese of Ashland, announced to the court that Hood accepted the prosecution's offer on just the kidnapping count.
A grand jury indicted him for holding Ernest Alexander and Dr. Kathleen Locker agains their will, as well as an aggravated assault charge.
Prosecutor David Daniels said the maximum penalty is 30 years. Daniels said they did not offer a term, but that he had agreed to a five-year sentence.
Roberts said one victim said he should serve time and the other said he shouldn't? Daniels said that was correct.
During the earlier hearing, witnesses said in May 2009 Hood held the two at gunpoint while intoxicated by alcohol and later offered the gun to them to end his life.
Two psychologists basically agreed Hood suffered from depression and bipolar disorder. He said he he receiving regular treatment for the conditions.
Before he was sentenced, Farese said he will offer witnesses. Hood said he would make a statement after the witnesses testify.

The provincial government unveiled a new highway depot in Renews-Cappahayden Monday morning.
The new depot building, which cost just under $1 million to build, replaces a 50-year-old structure located along the Southern Shore highway.
The 2013 provincial budget includes $4.9 million to construct two depots and two salt storage facilities.
Transportation and Works Minister Paul Davis said new infrastructure such as the depot is important to meeting the transportation needs of the province.

According to various press reports and news releases, there is a major new paper out in PNAS proposing that the pleistocene megafauna of North America (mammoths and the like) was killed off by an impact event (or atmospheric detonation of a comet). There was a brief report on this awhile ago when a paper was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting this summer. This is a cool idea. However, despite the press announcements I can't find the paper on the PNAS website. Anyone have any luck?
Impact killed the pleistocene megafauna?
26 Comments
I have no idea how often I have tried to find a PNAS "early release" cited in a news story, only to find no such paper on the webpage. It comes out eventually, but the release date is often off by a week or more. Very aggravating.
I didn't see this before, but from PNAS Early Edition:
Because PNAS publishes daily online, you may read about an article in the news media on Monday or Tuesday, but the article may not publish online until later in the week. You may use the CiteTrack feature to set up an e-mail alert to notify you as soon as the article you are interested in publishes. [Learn more about Early Edition]
"This is a cool idea."
Yes, it is claimed to be responsible for the Younger Dryas, about a thousand years of cool. And it does seem to agree with all the available evidence, so far…
P.S. The spell check is back! Thank you. :)
I get automated e-mail notices of relevant PNAS articles, and it hasn't come across. Given the nature of the large mammal extinctions of the North American holocene, as articulated by John Alroy (Sciende 292, 2001, 1893-1896), the "impact" was largely human.
As someone with press access to PNAS, i can't tell you how annoying this is. Pretty much every journal lifts the embargo on a story within a few hours of when the publication goes live. PNAS is the exception - their embargo lift is Monday evening, and it covers everything that will appear in their early access over the course of the rest of the week. So, it may take nearly a week for the actual article to appear in the early edition.
My readers hate it, and i have to make special note of this for every story i cover out of PNAS.
Try the DOI daily and hope for the best.…

i can imagine you idiots will edit this out too.
Hey dude, I think your capslock key is stuck…
Neal, it's an okay parody, but I think you went a bit overboard.
Syntax Error: mismatched tag at line 11, column 43, byte 622 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18/XML/Parser.pm line 187.
Neal, last time we covered adding bolding as yet another overemphasis technique you could use, and I showed you how to add the proper tags so you could say witty things like:
I am a GREAT TWIT!!!!
today, I instruct you in the use of the italics tag. very simple, really, since all you need do is substitute "i" for "b" (the bold tag) you learned in the previous lesson.
now you can do REALLY COOL stuff, and really add visual interest to your insane ramblings.
you can even combine multiple tags:
you are one DEMENTED FUCKWIT!!!!!
Hey Neal,
You own us at least 4 right parentheses in just this post alone.
HTH, Don
Hush, Neal. The grown-ups are talking.
Neal, It's cool because its an example of science in action. No one excpects you to find it that way, because your brain seems stuck in a rhetoric loop.
Given Neal's obvious insanity, why are his posts not being blocked or bounced to the bathroom wall?
Dumping to the bathroom wall is off line, and whether to unpublish a comment is up to individual authors.
It's an open access paper, so this link should work for everyone.
Awesome, thanks! I've always been very interested in the Pleistocene extinctions, and this looks *very* interesting.
(Looking at it, I thought: "Gee, IDers don't write papers that look anything like this!")
Jeffrey K McKee — The megafauna had three strikes against them:
(1) climate change. Stressful, but all the species had survived previous rapid warmings and vegetative changes.
(2) human predation. Not at all clear how significant a factor, since there were plenty of large predators, really large, some of them.
(3) comet impact. Probably did not instantly kill all of the megafauna. But the triple whammy was enough so that minimal breeding populations could not be sustained.
Three strikes and you are out.
Interesting PNAS article. I wrote a blog article about this today and how it relates to Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory of the Flood.
"This is quite interesting in view of Dr. Walter Brown's Hydroplate Theory which postulates that Meteors, Asteroids and Comets are ejecta from the catastrophic breakup of the "fountains of the deep."" Well, it's different anyway.
Interesting PNAS article. I wrote a blog article about this today and how it relates to Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory of the Flood.
If one ignores all the science then yes it relates to Walt Brown's 'theory' of the flood. Other than that is seems to have little relevance to reality.
What a crock
that is so not thure ok
that is so not thure ok
A fourth strike against megafauna would have been the introduction of diseases by humans, the animals accompanying humans or wild animals crossing the Beringia land bridge to North America.
By example, when Asian and African elephants are kept in zoos together, there is a danger of transmission of a herpesvirus that is lethal to asian elephants, but african elephants have a better immunity system against it.
Maybe the same thing happened with some megafauna.

For frustrated parents on the brink of child abuse and for neighbors, friends and family who suspect a child is being abused, there are several agencies available for help and counseling, Dauphin County Coroner Graham Hetrick said during a midday press conference at his Swatara Township office.The announcement comes a day after a Middletown man was charged with homicide in the death of his 5-week-old son. Brandon Murray, 27, of the 1700 block of Pineford Drive, is accused of beating and suffocating his son, David Ray Murray, to death this weekend.
Murray told police David had apparently suffocated when he fell asleep on top of him early Sunday, but Hetrick said his office's findings were not consistent with accidental roll-over suffocation.
"This was a preventable death," Hetrick said. "It didn't have to happen, but it did because people did not seek intervention early enough so they could handle this parenting situation."
Among the agencies Hetrick mentioned: The PA Family Support Alliance, which provides parenting support and education, can be reached at 800-448-4906. ChildLine, for those who have reason to believe a child is being abused, can be reached at 800-932-0313, and Dauphin County Children and Youth at 717-780-7200.

Highland Christian falls to Tulalip Heritage
ARLINGTON — The Highland Christian Lady Knights showed their competitive spirit when they faced off against the Tulalip Heritage Hawks, but fell short, losing 57-44 on Jan. 14.
Inexperience gave the Lady Knights trouble. "We're like a brand new outfit here," the Knights' Head Coach Steve Brown said. "Three of these kids have never played before."
Sophomore forward Chloe Brown had a great game, leading in scoring, totaling 27 points. "She's averaging 25 points a game, but it makes it easy for the opposing team to isolate her," Coach Brown said.
Chloe Brown made every effort to score off of missed shots ands the rebounds, and was a threat at the free-throw line, sinking seven out of 10 shots.
Though Chloe Brown is usually the lead scorer, Coach Brown was pleased with the scoring distribution at Tuesday's game.
"We spread out our scoring," Coach Brown said. "We usually don't get a whole lot of other players scoring."
Senior Brooke Hernandez was the second highest scorer, and also had some defensive highlights. The Knights were able to win the last quarter on defense with Hernandez swatting two balls in a row. "She had four blocks in the game," Coach Brown said. "She really turned on and helped us win that fourth quarter."
Eighth-grade guard Alaina Hayward was the only scorer to hit three-pointers, collecting two.
The first quarter started with the Knights scoring first, courtesy of two free-throws by Brown. The Knights made good passes but could not connect on scoring opportunities, often aiming too high and having the ball bounce off the backboard.
Hayward scored a three-pointer, but she and Brown were the Knights' only scorers for the first quarter.
The Knights tried to stop Tulalip's offense, but their defense wasn't enough, as the Lady Hawks found their mark.
The Knights trailed the Hawks 16-9 at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter was much the same, with the Knights unable to keep pace with the Hawks. The Hawks scored 19, whereas the Knights only scored eight. The Knights trailed 35-17 at halftime.
After halftime, the Knights were outscored 15-9, but had a rally of sorts in the fourth quarter.
Perhaps with the benefit of less-experienced Tulalip players taking the court, the Knights outscored the Hawks 15-7 in the final quarter. More Knights were able to score in the second half, but Chloe Brown and Hernandez still were the top scorers.
The Knights' offense not only showed up, but their defense executed as well, holding the Hawks to only single digits in the fourth quarter. "We switched our defense and that helped," Coach Brown said.
Coach Brown hopes as the Knights diversify their shots, it will make for a stronger season. "What I see that is encouraging is that shots are coming from everyone," Coach Brown said. "I'm encouraged we're actually swinging the ball and getting outside shots."
Coach Brown's outlook on the season is that the Knights still have a chance to make the playoffs. "We just want to learn the game well and teach a good work ethic," he said. "This is the step we have to have if we want to contend for the playoffs,"
"We've only played three league games and were playing a whole bunch of league games at the end of January," he added.
The overall inexperience of the current season's roster is the main obstacle the Knights are facing.
"We've been in the playoffs for many years, and it was just recently that we lost quite a few seniors a couple years ago," Coach Brown said. "So we're rebuilding."
As of Jan. 18, Highland Christian was 0-3 in the league and 3-6 overall.

Fall colours in Toronto photo roundup 2012
Fall may have a few weeks left in it yet, but the best part has already come and gone. Throughout Toronto most trees have surrendered their vibrant leaves for another season, leaving in their place crusty brown facsimiles or, as is the case as I look out my office window, nothing at all. Rather than getting sad about it and dwelling upon the inevitability of winter, let's just pause and look at some pretty pictures.

The University of North Carolina has certainly had more than its share of greats: Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Vince Carter, etc, but they are not without some overrated players and flops.
North Carolina is one of the top five, quality NBA talent producing programs in the nation. These 15 players don't contribute to that total.

MARQUETTE - Northern Michigan University redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Morley has seen a lot thrown his way in the first three games of his collegiate career.
The result has been an up and down start.
In the one NMU home win and two blowout losses on the road, Morley has thrown only one touchdown pass while turning the ball over eight times via five interceptions and three lost fumbles.

With three nationally ranked teams and two more that received votes in this week's American Football Coaches Association NCAA Division II poll on deck in the next five weeks, head coach Chris Ostrowsky recognizes the roller coaster will continue for his young QB.
"All the ups and downs are positives as long as we grow from them and learn from them," Ostrowsky said. "It becomes a negative if you make the same mistake over and over and over for three years."
Morley and the Wildcats will face their toughest test yet when No. 17 Ashland looks to spoil Northern's Homecoming celebration at 2 p.m. Saturday inside the Superior Dome.
Fact Box
Morley by the numbers:
- 47.6 completion percentage on 50-of-105
- 584 passing yards for 194.7 average per game
- 5 interceptions, 3 fumbles lost
- 1 touchdown
- 12-for-38 on third-down conversions, 2-for-4 on fourth down
- NCAA passer efficiency of 87.96, NFL QB
rating of 48.27
The Eagles, 3-0 atop the GLIAC South, have allowed an average of 15.3 points per game, second only to Michigan Tech.
"They are as good of a defense as we will face all year," Ostrowsky said of Ashland. "Our plan is simply to get the ball in and out of his hands."
A road trip to Hillsdale and a home date with Michigan Tech - both teams are unranked, but received votes - follows Saturday's date with Ashland. No. 4 Grand Valley State visits Marquette on Oct. 13 and the five-week gauntlet is capped by a trip to No. 21 Wayne State - last year's national runner-up - on Oct. 20.
"He's going to arguably see his freshman year the best Division II has to offer, so any success he can have in the next five weeks is phenomenal for his growth," Ostrowsky said about Morley, who is 50 of 105 passing for 584 yards.
"We have to work very, very hard to make sure we're not making the same mistake twice, understanding everything he's doing is for the very first time. We're going to make mistakes. We're going to look bad at times. I believe in him and he knows that."
One area Ostrowsky said he has been impressed with concerning Morley is on third down - which was a sore spot for former NMU head coach Bernie Anderson last season after converting only 33 percent of the time.
The Wildcats aren't any better as a team this season through three weeks at 27 percent, though Morley has produced a few clutch moments and has only been sacked twice on third down.
At Findlay in Week 1, Morley converted 5 of 14 third downs - one was wiped out via a fumble after a completed pass, however - and he extended another drive by completing a 7-yard pass to junior Christian Marble-King on fourth and 4.
Against Wisconsin-La Crosse in Week 2, Morley hit his longest pass of the season - 56 yards to Marble-King - on third and 11. The QB finished the night 5 of 12 on third downs, with a pass interference call aiding in extending one drive.
Week 3 was more of a struggle, however, at Ohio Dominican as Morley was only 2 of 12 with a fourth-down conversion extending one of those drives.
"Because he's so poised is why we are playing a freshman quarterback," Ostrowsky said. "If he was a nervous kid that had happy feet, we wouldn't play him. It wouldn't be beneficial for him or us."
Saturday's 47-7 loss by Northern at ODU was the ultimate roller coaster for Morley, as he threw his first touchdown pass and also turned the ball over five times via three interceptions and two lost fumbles.
Late in the third and early in the fourth quarters, Morley experienced all the highs and lows one can experience in three successive series.
On third and 4 from his own 41-yard line and Northern down 40-0, Morley fell short of the first down on a 2-yard run. On fourth and 2, he made up for it, however, with a 27-yard pass to Trever Kruzel that moved the sticks.
Morley lost a fumble while being sacked on the very next play, but senior defensive tackle Zach Anderson got Morley the ball back three plays later by returning an interception 22 yards to the ODU 23.
Four plays later, Morley threw his first career collegiate touchdown pass, hitting Christian Jessie from 9 yards out.
It wasn't the way Morley hoped to get that first TD pass, but he was happy to finally check that experience off his list of firsts as a freshman, he said.
"They are definitely showing me stuff I've never seen before," Morley said. "It's my job as a leader of the offense and quarterback of this team to be ready, so that's what I'm going to do.
"I'll be the first one to admit I can't play like that if I want to win. As the leader of the offense and struggling like I have been, I just have to get better every day."

Early-morning shooting turns deadly in Allentown
Officials: Carlos Rodriguez, 22, fatally shot
Police are investigating a reported shooting homicide, in the same area of another homicide earlier this week.
Police converged on the 700 block of West Washington Street around 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
Officials said their investigation revealed one man was fatally shot. Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim said the victim is Carlos Rodriguez, 22, of Allentown.
Grim said Rodriguez died at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Salisbury just after 5am Saturday. The cause of death was attributed to a gunshot wound to the body.
The homicide is being investigated by Allentown Police Department's Criminal Investigations unit and the Lehigh County Homicide Task Force, officials said.
On Wednesday, Oct. 24, police said 27-year-old James Sims was shot in the back in broad daylight in the 700 block of Washington Street. He later died at the hospital. No arrests have been made in that case.

SWEDESBORO — The sun was shining on Good Friday as nearly 200 parishioners from Saint Clare of Assisi Parish made their way around the block, praying and reading through the Stations of the Cross.
"It is good that we are all here," Deacon Joe Garozzo told the crowd as they stood in front of the Broad Street church.
The parish has been doing the outside-version of the series that depicts Jesus Christ carrying the cross to his eventual crucifixion for more than 30 years.
"I'm pleased, I'm happy," Garozzo said of the large turnout. Taking the tradition outside, he said, helps attendees connect. "People feel the journey outside, especially carrying the cross."
Members of the crowd traded off carrying the large, wooden symbol, and the children in attendance held banners that represented each of the 14 stations. The group prayed and chanted as Garozzo and two other clergy members read aloud. Swedesboro residents Charles Ludovico and his son Matthew, 13, have been attending the Stations of the Cross demonstration for at least the past eight years, they said. Each time they come, they make it a point to carry the cross together.
"I'm a CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) teacher," Charles said. "I want to experience what Jesus felt when he was carrying the cross."
The walk around the block helps teach his son about their religion, Charles said.
"It's like the real journey," Matthew said. "I feel very connected to Jesus and God...It's the least I could do."
Sisters Cassandra and Gabriella Basile said their father carried the cross so they try to do the same each year.
"It just means a lot to us," Gabriella, 18, said. The day is a big part of their religion. "It gets you more involved."
"You're giving something back," Cassandra, 17, added.
As the crowd made its way back to the church, Garozzo thanked everyone for coming.
"I know the Lord thanks you very much and will give you many, many blessings through this walk," he said.

It seems, that with his starring role in last year's Cedar Rapids, Ed Helms convinced Hollywood that he's ready and able to headline comedy flicks– that he's not destined to be relegated to ensemble casts on the big screen. And here's the proof: the former Daily Show correspondent, Hangover co-star and current Office cast member will play the lead role in the American version of Le Mac, a French comedy that was originally released in 2010. The plot is centered around a "mild-mannered banker forced to masquerade as a notorious gangster and pimp," according to the original film's description.
Helms, along with Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld's Red Hour Films — as well as Guy Stodel — will produce the film, according to Variety. Johnny Rosenthal, the man behind the script for Bad Santa 2 (set for release next year) is writing Le Mac. No director has been announced.
Check out the original Le Mac trailer below to get a sense of what we can expect. True, it's all in French, but I'm confident you'll be able to grasp the whole fish-out-of-water thing. It's not like you haven't seen it before.

I'll be there to cover the meet for The Oregonian, and will post updates on OregonLive.com as events warrant.
There is a big contingent of Oregon Ducks headed there. Nick Trubachik of Portland will compete in the decathlon and Trevor Dunbar of the University of Portland in the junior men's 5,000 meters.
Former Skyview High javelin thrower Kara Patterson, who holds the stadium record in the women's javelin, is one of many professionals with ties to the region who will be competing.
The first senior events are Thursday, when Galen Rupp and Amy Yoder Begley of Oregon Track Club Elite/Portland are scheduled to run in the men's and women's finals of the 10,000.
Oregon-bound Sweet Home High star Dakotah Keys will help get things underway Wednesday in the junior men's decathlon. Keys isn't ready to step into the shoes left behind by the departing Ashton Eaton, who has won the last three NCAA decathlon titles for the Ducks. But give him time.Speaking of the junior meet, I'll be keeping an eye on Gresham High's record-breaking javelin thrower Sam Crouser. He is another Oregon-bound athlete.
Here is the
schedule for the meet.

The students were selected based on academic achievement, school and community service, recognition and leadership, portfolio presentation and written and verbal communication skills.
"We are very excited to announce this year's top students, and we congratulate all our nominees who earned their school's Student of the Year designation," Superintendent Courtney P. Millet said.
Lester Rainey
Rainey, the son of Lester Rainey Jr. and Arnita Rainey of Edgard, is very active in school clubs and activities. He is president of the Student Council, captain of the mock law debate team, school reporter for The Times-Picayune, a member of the St. John 4-H Advisory Board, 4-H Club reporter and was delegate for the 2011 Louisiana Youth Seminar.
Rainey said he plans to attend college to pursue a degree in zoology or environmental science in hopes of becoming a research scientist.

This project provides a safe home for 27 orphaned children in Haiti. The 2010 earthquake destroyed the orphanage, leaving all of the children homeless. We've already provided them with a new house, and we're now meeting all their needs. Some, like 3 year old Germina, were abandoned when their relatives couldn't care for them. She was just 6 days old when she arrived. Others arrived at the orphanage after their parents died. All of the kids would be homeless without donors like you.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Orphaned children in Haiti have few chances at a bright future. The government agency which should look after them is corrupt and under-funded. Even where they do their best, they can care for only a fraction of Haiti's homeless kids. That leaves children like Germina reliant on private institutions like the HTDC orphanage (SMDT orphanage in French). HTDC can only meet her needs if donors like you provide the funding it needs to care for her.
How will this project solve this problem?
This project will provide funding so that the HTDC orphanage can invest in each child's future with nutritious food, quality education, health care, and enriching activities like English and art classes. The orphanage is currently housed in a rented house, but the directors ambition is to build a permanent home on land that they own. With your support, HTDC will grow to help many more than 27 children grow into tomorrow's leaders!
Potential Long Term Impact
Without the support of the HTDC orphanage, many of the children at the orphanage would likely die before adulthood. If they did survive, their future would have been bleak and likely include crime, poverty, and homelessness. By investing in the most vulnerable of Haiti's children, HTDC will change these children's futures - they have the opportunity to grow into health, successful adults who will help the larger community become stronger.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: £111,593
Remaining Goal to be Funded: £0
Total Funding Goal: £109,236
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

I might as well state it right up front. This review of Thunder Bay Theatre's production of "Cats" will most likely be filled with superlatives.
Suffice it to say I've been doing these reviews a whole lot of years now (20-plus), and never before do I recall an opening night with such a palpable sense of excitement in the air. The place was jam packed with patrons, and the cast and crew delivered for them perhaps the most polished opener I've ever witnessed at TBT.
Simply put, the show was phenomenal.
Doing "Cats" on a small town stage definitely was an ambitious undertaking. The mega award-winning production, after all, ran for 18 straight years on Broadway and featured a huge cast, music by the stellar Andrew Lloyd Webber and unlimited resources to make it all very splashy.
TBT is a whole different ballgame from the bright lights of Broadway, but Artistic Director J.R. Rodriguez proved that with vision and know how, remarkable talent across the board and a great deal of hard work, anything is possible.
The cast of 24 was arrayed in hands-down the best costumes I've ever experienced at the theatre. Kendra McInerney, responsible for the design of the two dozen different cat creations, out-did herself.
Music Director Bunny Lyon had many superb voices with which to work, but she pulled an amazing, full sound out of the cast collectively as well as some very beautiful solos and duets.
The dance numbers, choreographed by Hannah Matzke, Lara Torres and Dodi Lance, all were extremely eye-catching and made really good use of the allotted space.
Derek Spack designed and Nickie Hilton painted the oversized junkyard set and other properties that in both form and function perfectly served the purpose. Spack also designed the lighting that added yet another important element to the overall production.
But it was the performers themselves who brought it all to life. As the name of the show implies, all 24 appeared on stage as cats. I'm not sure if being a cat lover makes a noticeable difference or not in how much a person enjoys the show, but I happen to be a big fan of felines. Seeing the way the different actors stretched, hissed, scratched, languished, purred and rubbed against one another even when they weren't actively engaged in a song or dance proved to be great fun.
The direction by Rodriguez ensured that there always was something or someone to watch on stage without ever giving the space a feel of being over-crowded. The pure entertainment factor was huge, even if the show doesn't have a totally recognizable, spelled-out-for-you storyline.
I don't really know how Webber and lyricist Trevor Nunn ever conjured up an entire musical out of a book of verse written by celebrated poet T.S. Eliot, but they obviously happened upon a winner.
The two-act show is about a tribe of cats, called the Jellicles, who gather once a year as one member of their tribe is chosen for the honor of being reincarnated. "Cats" showcases characters from all walks of life who are metaphors of people from different parts of society.
Those aspects aren't particularly obvious though, so the bottom line is, don't come expecting to necessarily understand everything that you see. Rather, just sit back and revel in the sensational spectacle of it all.
The most poignant song in the show undoubtedly has to be also the most well-known song, "Memories," sung in hauntingly beautiful fashion by Suni Travis as Grizabella, the former glamour cat who has lost her sparkle. Molly Striker, another sterling voice amongst a cast of solid voices, joins Travis for a reprisal of "Memories" later on in the show.
LeShawn Bell hams it up as Rum Tum Tugger, the flirtatious rock star-like cat who in Elvis Presley mode, is surrounded by his groupie cats.
Two sets of twin cats, played by Spack/McInerney and Dylan Goike/Mariah Purol, each give playful performances. Spack and McInerney do a great job on the song named after their respective characters, "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer."
Bruce Michaud appears as the faltering Gus, an aged theatre cat and one of the oldest Jellicle tribe members. Caitlin Borke, another cast member with an outstanding voice, joins Michaud in song on the number, "Gus: The Theatre Cat."
The role of Old Deuteronomy, the distinguished and loveable patriarch cat, falls to David Usher. Both his carriage and his demeanor are fitting of a cat who is looked upon with reverence by the rest of the tribe.
Victoria, a pure white kitten, begins the "official" Jellicle Ball with her solo dance. Kirstin Bohlen, so graceful and so gifted at dance, was appropriately selected to play this part.
Zach Clement as the snappy "fat cat," Bustopher Jones; Mac Fountain as the railway cat, Skimbleshanks; Emily Szatkowski as Bombalurina; Nickie Hilton as Jennyanydots, who kicks off a fun and energetic tap number; Brian Heldt as Munkustrap; Hannah Matzke as Demeter and Hannah Irving as Mr. Mistoffelees, add their own special something to the show.
So too, do Riley McGuire as Macavity, Courtney Marshall as Electra, Sandi Schmidt as Ectcetera, Alexys Suisse as Pouncival, Sarah Swider as Cassandra and Nikita McCallum as Admetus.
TBT's opening night production featuring all of these highly enjoyable performers ended with a standing ovation and well it should have. I won't be surprised in the least if the show draws huge crowds every night of its four-week run.

MARQUETTE - Cross country runner Cole Rieboldt had good reason Thursday to turn in the fastest time at the Marquette County Meet.
The Marquette Senior High School runner had to get ready to play in his school's soccer match with Iron Mountain just 90 minutes later.
"I might be able to make warmups (for the soccer match)," the senior said after winning the boys' county title in 16 minutes, 48 seconds. "I might be a little sore, though."

"I didn't look back (at Rambo) because I didn't know if he was right on me or not."
Rambo said he and Rieboldt got separated at about the two-mile mark on a 3.1-mile Kaufman Sports Complex course designed by head coaches Dale Phillips of MSHS and Bill Sved of North Star Academy especially for Thursday's race.
"I'm not very good at trail running and Cole is," Rambo said. "He just goes. He has a lot more energy than I do, I guess."

The two combined with Zueger to lead the Redmen to the team crown with 20 points. Negaunee placed second with 53 and Gwinn third with 88.
Ishpeming (96), North Star (126) and Westwood (132) followed.
The win was Rieboldt's third in as many races, which includes he and Rambo combining to capture the Marquette Relays title. It's Rieboldt's first year of cross country competition.
He decided to give cross country a try after running track for three years at MSHS.
"I want to be able to give college (track and field) teams my times from cross country," he said, noting Lake Superior State and Grand Valley State have showed interest in his services.
"I like cross country more than track. There are fewer circles and more straightaways."
Rieboldt said his strategy to date has been to get out front early and hold off all comers.
"I'm not patient enough running behind people," he said.
Phillips has been impressed with Rieboldt's contributions to date.
"What can you say?" he asked. "He's a tremendous athlete. He just ran a 5-kilometer race and now he's going to play soccer.
"He ran well today. But we got improved performances from a lot of kids. I'm pleased with how we're coming along."
John-Henry Kibit led North Star Academy in 19:25, Alex Anderson paced Gwinn with 19:33 and Kazmine Langness led Ishpeming with a 19:43.
