The show, which ran for six years Off Broadway and has become a signature of the Obie-winning director's propulsive, audience-immersive style, will play in the newly christened nightclub Oberon (formerly known as Zero Arrow Theatre), and Paulus compares it with a trip to the Bard's stomping grounds.

Dear MGoBoard
That's awesome.
This is going to take some time to get over... Give it some time before you post this.
I agree. Losing to Ohio State in a game we could have very well won = at least 24hrs of guilt-free bitching.
We haven't cheated on our wives or done anything wrong. We'd just like to have a perfect season with a national championship. We don't see riches, women, or vices. Perhaps you could persuade our ballcarriers to hold on to the ball better, or our defensive players to wrap up better when they tackle? We've heard that Luca Brasi can tackle well. If Luca's otherwise occupied, then what about Al Neri? He used to be a cop; he must have had some occasion to tackle someone.
Please, Godfather!
......BTW the "kids" that represent our University are behaving like men -because Men are coaching them and teaching them what being a man is.

Armenia second in world tank biathlon championship
Armenia second in world tank biathlon championship –
ARKA – The Russian team has taken lead in the 2014 Tank Biathlon World Championship, which kicked off yesterday at a testing ground outside Moscow.
Tank crews from 12 countries are participating in the newly introduced global military sporting event. Russia is now followed by Armenia, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, India, China, Mongolia and Kuwait.
Lieutenant-General Yuri Petrov, a deputy head of the Russian Defense Ministry's main department of combat training, said
that these were the results of the first day of the competition. The final results of the first stage will be decided on August 6.
Only three teams – from Russia, Armenia and China – managed to complete the distance without penalty laps, Petrov said.
Participants in the competition had to particularly battle three types of obstacles, namely mound, track path at mine explosion area and a hillside, he said.
The biathlon runs through August 16 and is divided into three stages of three heats each, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The championship's second stage, which is 3km Sprint, runs on August 8-9 and the third stage, which is Pursuit, runs on August 11-12.
Teams have to race through up to 20km obstacle course in Russian-made T-72B tanks, or Slingshot, according to NATO classification, and fire at targets imitating tanks and helicopters. Crews that miss a target get a penalty lap. China brought its own 96A tanks for the championship.
The Tank Biathlon, which is analogous to the Olympic biathlon discipline, was invented by the Russian military and the first competition at the international level was held in August 2013 in Alabino with the participating crews from Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia.

Sizemore earns second Gold Glove
Tribe center fielder recognized for superior defensive play
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
CLEVELAND -- Just call him Gold Glove Grady.
For the second straight year, Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore is being recognized for his all-out hustle and willingness to sacrifice his body to make the stellar defensive play.
Because, for the second straight year, Sizemore has been named the winner of a Rawlings American League Gold Glove Award.
Managers and coaches from each Major League club vote for the best defensive players in their respective leagues. They are excluded from voting for players on their own team.
"It's a great feeling," Sizemore said of the honor. "You never really go into the year expecting something like this. Any time you get recognized or voted on or win something like this, whether it's coaches, players or the media who decides it, it's a great feeling."
Joining Sizemore in the AL outfield on the Gold Glove platform Thursday were the Angels' Torii Hunter and the Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki. That's the same outfield trio as a year ago.
It was a former Mariners outfielder, Ken Griffey Jr., whose name was synonymous with the Gold Glove when Sizemore was growing up in Seattle. Junior won the award in each of his last 10 seasons with Seattle.
So, when Sizemore thinks about the Gold Glove, he thinks of Griffey.
"It was always exciting to watch him play," Sizemore said. "I don't consider myself that type of player, but to watch him win it and to play that position now and get to watch him the last few years is pretty nice. I try not to focus on personal stats, but winning a defensive award is one of the greater accomplishments I've been a part of."
The rest of the AL winners this year were Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina, Twins catcher Joe Mauer, Rays first baseman Carlos Pena, Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia, Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre and Rangers shortstop Michael Young.
The 2008 season marked the 52nd year of the Gold Glove award. They first were awarded in 1957 to one player at each position from both leagues, then expanded the next year to include one player at each position from each league.
Sizemore has established a Gold Glove reputation that is hard to shake, as this second straight trophy proves. Now he just has to find a place for it.
"I'll have to start making some room," he said. "Right now, [the first trophy] is at my folks' house. I don't have a good display case."
The last Indians player to win consecutive Gold Gloves was shortstop Omar Vizquel in 2000-01. The last outfielder to do it was Kenny Lofton in 1995-96.
When he wasn't busy becoming the first Indians player to notch 30 homers, 30 doubles and 30 stolen bases in a single season, the 26-year-old Sizemore was compiling a .995 fielding percentage that ranked eighth among AL outfielders and second among AL center fielders. He had two errors in 386 total chances over 151 starts in center field.
In five seasons with the Tribe, Sizemore has compiled a career fielding percentage of .994.
Attempts have been made to find other ways to use numbers to display defensive prowess. STATS LLC. came up with a formula to determine the percentage of times a player accurately fields a ball hit into his typical defensive zone. In '08, Sizemore (.909) was just one of four qualifying AL center fielders to have a zone rating higher than .900, according to STATS.
Last week, another Indians outfielder, Franklin Gutierrez, received a noteworthy defensive honor when he was named one of nine winners of a 2008 Fielding Bible Award for his work in right field. The award, handed out in the Bill James Handbook by the statistician James and author James Dewan, was given to Gutierrez because Dewan calculated that Gutierrez made 29 above-average plays in 97 games in right field last season -- the most of any right fielder in baseball.
The difficulty with defense is that numbers can't always tell the whole story. Indeed, Sizemore's play is best appreciated in person or, failing that, on videotape.
Take, for example, the dazzling defensive gem he turned in on the season's final day in Chicago.
The Indians were trailing, 3-1, in the seventh inning when White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski hit a high fly ball to right center. Just when it seemed the ball would clear the wall, Sizemore stormed to the wall, went airborne and caught the ball in front of the outstretched arm of a Sox fan, thwarting the would-be homer before tumbling to the ground.
"I can't believe he caught that ball," manager Eric Wedge said of that catch. "And that was on a dead run, too. I didn't even know he had it until he showed it to everybody."
To still be impressing Wedge at this stage speaks to Sizemore's flair for the dramatic.
And as the award voting proves, plenty of others around the league have taken notice of Gold Glove Grady.

Monetary Policy, Fiscal Policy, and Confidence
The relative effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies is an on-going debate among macroeconomists. Our study is the first to examine the effect of monetary and fiscal policies on confidence. We provide a theoretical framework which highlights the role of confidence in business cycles as well as the effect of monetary and fiscal policies on confidence. Moreover, we discuss how monetary and fiscal policies restore confidence, which helps to lead to economic recovery from recessions/slowdowns. Furthermore, we test the effect of monetary and fiscal policies on confidence as well as on the real GDP.

Forums >Health and Nutrition>Sugar
Serious question.... aside from sodium content, what's the nutritional difference between gatorade and a coke post-workout?
I don't know, but I remember reading about some folks drinking flat coke during ultras. Not sure if people still do that.
A coke also contains caffeine and phosphorus.
And carmel food coloring. My question was really about post-race nutritional goodness/badness. That much caffeine isn't going to bug me and I have absolutely no idea what phosphorus might be doing to me other than making me glow. And before you tell me that caffeine is a diuretic... that has been mostly debunked, especially for people attuned to caffeine.
As for cokes and ultras - YES. And not always de-fizzed. When I asked my question, it was because it was said by seilerts that he/she had given up soda but hit the gatorade post-workout. Functionally, it seems to me that they'd serve similar purposes... hydration and simple carbs.
As for "twice the sugar", that's twice the goodness. I chase it with some water. Skygazer, I specifically said POST workout... and I suspect that gatorade makes you thirstier than coke. Salt in gatorade is going to monkey with your thirst mechanism.
I think caffeine is nutritional goodness--it makes me feel good anyway. And I also think that the body needs a certain amount of phosphorus to be healthy, so you may have some goodness there, but I'm just guessing.
12 Monkeys
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Sorry, I missed the post-workout part.
I crossed out thirst after realized what I meant to say and describe the situation more precisely.
I do realize the relation between salt and thirst (and hydration. you can get over hydrated and still feel thirsty). Coke also has salt, ~40% of that in gatorade. As I stated twice the sugar means it takes twice amount of the water to process. If you're already dehydrated, it doesn't help with the situation (your body use whatever water it can draw to function. Plus, there are a few body functions involved in the hydration balance.). Depends on the total amount of salt in your body vs sugar being processed (the amount of water drawn to process the sugar), you can feel more thirsty in one of the situation than the other.
I hate sugar...It's killing my mother. She's already lost a leg, is almost blind, and has lost all sensation in her extremities...and she's only 71 years old!!! I've just had to commit her to a skilled nursing facility. Three years ago, I was on that path too. Luckily, I had a doc who caught it, warned me, and gave me an opportunity to do something about it before he put me on more meds.
**goes back to reading Lustig's "Fat Chance"**
Not dead. Yet.
Thanks for that.
How can we know our limits if we don't test them?
Lots of peanut butter out there without added sugar
Trent, thanks for sharing the M Pollan piece, that is one of my favorite books on nutrition that I have ever read. Great book, totally worth it if you have questions about the typical American diet and are looking for good solid reasons to change the way you eat
old woman w/hobby
It's that middle one that I have a problem with.
Power Aid / Gatorade both make me more thirsty.
MTA: They also give me a stomach ache for a short while
if drunk during a race. Full sugar Coke doesn't.
"Just stop fucking drinking too much and being fat. Pretty simple. Who the hell cares if you like beer.

Duckbill check valve water flood diffuser
Duckbill check valve water flood diffuser
The Rhinoflex duckbill check valves are an extremely reliable and an excellent, economical option to flap-gate valves and also other check valves. Be simple one-piece design and reinforced rubber construction eliminate the mechanical and metal components that rust and seize in conventional flap-gates. These are custom made, one way , non-return check valves, made out of various elastomeric rubbers, and built as per the application and the line pressure and back pressure concerned. One can choose from all standard pipe sizes, and typical application is back flow prevention and downstream of the pump, at pump stations.
Duckbill check valve water flood diffuser
The Rhinoflex Duckbill Check valves are passive-reactive devices requiring no external mechanisms or source of energy to operate. The Duckbill Check Valve is usually closed and definitely will react and open with as little as 1 inch of head pressure and always provide maximum flow with minimal pressure drop across the valve. This easy operation reduces standing water in sewer pipes where mosquitoes and other pests can thrive.
Their all-flexible construction will pass large objects without blockage yet offers exceptional back flow prevention and can even seal around trapped solids with as little as 1 psi of back pressure.
Ideally, the conical concentric design enables the very best flow hydraulics, and lowest pressure drops. It may handle well water volumes and weights which will help prevent backflow very reliably and consistently, without having maintenance at all.
Typical applications are for Open Turmoil flood control, water-waste water, storm water, flood water, in a manhole, bubble-pit, pond, lake, dam, or sea.
They may also supply from the back flow prevention of Effluent ,Sewage, and Sewerage systems.
The duckbill check valves are proven to work in sub-sea applications for example outfall diffuser systems, plus AIR Aeration, in SPARGE diffusers in Effluent Mixing tanks and slurry mixing systems.

Stars' Adam Burish Apologizes For Stinking Up a Game of EA Sports NHL 11
Posted By Margaret DeJesus On Oct 24 2010 @ 11:11 pm In NHL | 7 Comments
Stanley Cup winning Adam Burish gets the LOL award of the week for answering a fan about a lost game of NHL 11 via the Dallas Stars website.
(In case you missed the Burish Responds to a Fan\'s Feedback [1] gem here it is:
"Here is an actual email received on Saturday, October 16th from a hockey fan…
From: alex [last name withheld]
Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2010 3:12 PM
To: email@example.com
Subject: #16 Adam BURISH [2]
I was recently playing a game of EA Sports NHL 11. I was down by one goal against my friend, I was on a 2 on 0 and was impeded by #16 Adam Burish [2], and was unable to achieve a scoring opportunity, I ask that Adam Burish [2] publicly apologizes to me for he had cost me that game of NHL 11. Thank you for you cooperation during this crisis.
Burish responded a la a video posted to the Stars website: "Sorry I ruined your game. You know what though, when your guys are that slow they get in my way. So whoever's controlling them, I don't know if it's you or the computer, maybe you should have a talk with them. They're just in my way. Their passes are in my skates. It was a mess out there. Get your guys going. Get your guys skating a little bit so they get outta my way. Sorry I ruined your game but talk to your guys next time."
In an interview with David Amber on NHL on the Fly, Burish was asked about the humorous viral video and his experience with NHL 11. Apparently he's not big video gamer.
He said: "I'm not much of a video game guy. I haven't played it. But I think I gotta do it now…Maybe the video game makers gotta up our ante a little bit."
I'd like an apology from Henrik Lundqvist for always allowing the game tying goal within the last 40 seconds of my online games, ruining my record.

This was sort of a nightmare, but not exactly.
For whatever reason, there was no one aboard a commercial flight who could pilot a plane I was on.
I lied and said I knew how to fly. Technically, I've had instruction, but never on actually landing - and never on something bigger than a private jet versus a large airliner.
Well, I didn't want to trust anyone else who also didn't know what they were doing.
So there I was in the cockpit, pulling on levers and seeing what they'd do, so I could get a grasp on how to control the plane.
I actually got it, got the landing gear down, and landed the plane!
However, I didn't really know how to brake, so once on the ground, I was driving the big plane everywhere, trying to figure out how to turn the engines off.
I drove into a hanger and crunched the nose of the plane against a wall, backed the tail into another wall, and ground crew and brave volunteer pilots were running, scrambling to possibly climb up my plane's wheel wells and get on board her to help me power down.
I woke up from my dream while I was still driving the jet into the walls, other parked planes, etc. After such a successful, damage-free, smoothe landing, too....

Informative But Not an Easy Read 9/29/2008Laura from Wisconsin
Do not expect this book to be a "quick read." It is loaded with information. I would compare this to reading a textbook rather than reading for pleasure. It's not exactly a book where the reader can do a page a day; pick it up when you have time to read a chunk at a time to better understand and process the content. Originally, I had borrowed a copy from the library but needed more time as the book was due before I had made a dent in it. I'm glad I purchased the book, though, so that I can earmark and write in my copy and read it at my pace.

I don't think it's necessary to learn any of the languages before you go but wouldn't hurt to learn some basics. I picked up a lonely planet Europe phrasebook which I intend to bring with me. Has the basics for Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portugese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Sweedish and Turkish!! Only thing really missing that I would need is Dutch but I speak a little of that anyway as my mum's side of the family is from Holland. I learned German at school and am looking forward to testing that out in Germany and Austria :P

I learnt German all through school so I had a bit of that under my belt, I also learnt some french phrases, 'do you speak english' 'i don't understand' etc I've just heard that the french aren't very helpful when you expect them to speak to you in english so they appreciate it when we try their language first..

I think, it will be helpful, if you can speak and understand some words/sentenses in the different european languages.
The most people in Germany speak englisch, because everybody (in Germany) learns Englisch at school. - 0 people like this

Add a response...
love that nobody cares that you went over 100! love it!!!
Um, so I just had a quick glance over this list after seeing the comments of misused 'your/you're' anddddd I didn't find any mistakes. Not saying that there are no mistakes of this kind buuuttttt I didn't see any. I would at least KNOW the difference between your and you're before I embarrass myself over telling someone off about their own CORRECT grammar! That is all. (:
You used the wrong form of "your/you're" for like everything on here....
Oh my word get over it. Does it honestly matter? They were just simply listing reasons why they loved someone. Does it honestly matter what your they used?
To me, yeah. Good grammar is important. Especially when you're trying to impress a guy. Intelligence is sexy.
What's really funny is she did in fact use correct grammar and it seems that you need to work on your own grammar and intelligence.
When I read these it made me think of my and my boyfriend straight away

When it was announced that the central story of Robert Rodriguez's upcoming Sin City sequel would be A Dame To Kill For the big question on fans' mind was, "What do you do about Dwight?" While the character was played by Clive Owen in Rodriguez's first Frank Miller adaptation, that story - The Big Fat Kill - is actually set after A Dame To Kill For and, most importantly, after Dwight underwent major plastic surgery to hide his real appearance. Thus, we've long been wondering who would play the role in the follow-up. Today we have our answer.
Dimension Films has sent out a press release announcing that Josh Brolin - who previously worked with Rodriguez on the Planet Terror segment of Grindhouse - has landed the role of Dwight in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Additionally, they have also revealed the plot synopsis for the central story, which comes with the explanation as to why Brolin was brought in instead of Owen. In SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight to hell. Chronologically, this story takes place prior to "The Big Fat Kill" (featured in the film FRANK MILLER'S SIN CITY) and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face. It's noted that the role of Ava Lord has not yet been cast, despite the fact that the film is already in production and aiming for a October 4, 2013 release date. And this is just the latest development for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Just yesterday it was revealed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has joined the movie in the key role of Johnny and just a few hours ago it was announced that Christopher Meloni is part of the production as well. They join a cast that includes returning stars like Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson and Jaime King as well as Dennis Haysbert and Jamie Chung, who have replaced Michael Clarke Duncan and Devon Aoki, respectively.

Appearing somber, President Barack Obama on Wednesday opened a campaign visit to Las Vegas by remembering four Americans who died in an attack on a U.S. Consulate in Libya, saying they gave their lives to uphold American values of freedom in a dangerous land.
"We are mindful of their sacrifice," Obama said, adding he wanted to start his speech by talking about "the tough day we had today." "We want to send our heartfelt prayers to their loved ones."
Obama vowed the United States would bring those responsible to justice.
"No act of violence will shake the resolve of the United States of America," Obama said to cheers from a crowd of 8,000 crammed inside the Cashman Center, which can seat up to 10,000 people.
The 30-minute rally, which went from somber reflection to boisterous cheers, ended a day of crisis for the president after the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans were killed Tuesday evening in Benghazi, possibly by extremists angry over a film they felt denigrated the Prophet Muhammad.
The attack prompted Obama to visit the State Department on Wednesday morning and to delay his three-hour campaign stop in Las Vegas for about one hour. He then traveled to Colorado on Wednesday night.
Obama initially tempered his remarks, although he grew animated as he contrasted his accomplishments with his GOP opponent, Mitt Romney, who criticized the White House handling of protests in Libya and Egypt.
The president acknowledged Nevada had been hit hardest in the nation by the recession, which he said he inherited from former President George W. Bush. But Obama said the path to a full economic recovery isn't returning to GOP policies, but continuing his efforts to restore the middle class.
"I don't think the best answers to today's new challenges are old sales pitches," Obama said to loud cheers. "And that's what my opponent and the other side is trying to sell."
Obama said Romney wants to give tax cuts to the wealthy, while the president wants to make those earning $250,000 a year or more pay higher taxes to fund education, energy and infrastructure projects that could put people back to work. Nevada has a 12 percent unemployment rate, the highest in the nation.
"We believe the economy grows from the middle out, not the top down," said Obama, wearing a white shirt with no suit jacket. "That's why I'm running for a second term."
The crowd of supporters interrupted Obama several times to chant, "Four more years!" They booed several times when the president spoke of Romney and Republican policies.
Obama mocked Romney for his ideas about reforming Medicare and Social Security.
"I will never turn Medicare into a voucher," the president said.
On Social Security, Obama said he would not "turn it over to Wall Street like a stack of poker chips," referring to proposals to privatize the system.
The president seemed to gather strength throughout his speech until he had supporters screaming when he asked them to return him to the White House. He argued he had kept promises, including ending the war in Iraq.
"We've come too far to turn back now," Obama said, leaning into the podium to be heard. "We've got more troops to bring home. ...And we've got more doors of opportunity to open for everybody."
The Obama rally, which displayed the president in his role as commander-in-chief, came nearly four years to the day that Obama excited a crowd of 11,000 at an outdoor rally at Cashman Field on Sept. 17, 2008.
Nearly all of the crowd were diehard Obama supporters, although at least a few were undecided voters who had come to hear the president make his case for four more years.
Debbie and Roger Williamson, who recently moved to Nevada from New Jersey, said they were Republicans who did not vote for Obama in 2008 but were considering him over Romney. Debbie Williamson said she liked the president's health care law, although she remains skeptical "about how he's going to pay for it."
As for Romney, the couple said they're waiting to hear more detail from the former Bain Capital chief and Massachusetts governor on exactly how he aims to fix the economy faster than Obama.
"I don't know enough about his real plans yet," Debbie Williamson said of Romney. "We need to learn more."
The couple and others gathered to hear Obama said they didn't find it off-putting that he held a political rally despite the shocking death of Americans abroad, including the first U.S. ambassador killed since 1979.
"Bad things happen around the world every day," Roger Williamson said.
Wednesday's visit is Obama's seventh trip to Nevada this year and the 14th of his presidency. It came a day after Romney addressed the National Guard convention in Reno on the 9/11 anniversary.
Both men are focusing on Nevada as one of eight or nine battlegrounds that will decide who wins the White House. The rallies are aimed at driving up voter registration, volunteering and enthusiasm.
Karlotta Moss, an Obama supporter who voted for him in 2008, attended the rally with two of her daughters, ages 9 and 19, and her 3-year-old granddaughter. Brittanie, the 19-year-old mother, said she doesn't plan to vote for Obama or anyone else on Nov. 6.
"My vote don't count," she said as her mother shrugged. "No president can control the world - not Obama or, what's his name, Romney. I just came to get out of the house."
On the day of his visit, the Obama campaign released a TV ad attacking Romney for not saying how he would pay for $5 trillion in tax cuts that would largely benefit the wealthy. The ad cites a study that suggests Romney would have to cut popular tax deductions for the middle class, raising the average tax bill by $2,000.
The Romney campaign responded to Obama's visit by focusing on conflicting comments he made about the housing crisis, which has hit Nevada harder than any other state with record home foreclosures. The Obama refinancing programs he has rolled out in the past couple of years haven't helped many Nevadans save their homes.
In an interview aired Wednesday on CBS Evening News, Obama said he put forward programs to address the collapsing housing market in his first year in office "that we thought would get more take up." That contradicts reporting in a new book by Bob Woodward, who quoted the president as telling a Washington lawmaker, "We will not roll out an aggressive housing plan" as part of the $800 billion stimulus bill in 2009.
"President Obama's revisionist history on housing is laughable," Romney campaign spokesman Mason Harrison, said in a statement. "Tonight, he told Americans that he pursued steps to aid the housing market, yet it was reported just this week that the president also said 'We will not roll out an aggressive housing plan.' "
"As Nevadans have faced foreclosure, declining home values and seen their hard-earned wealth wiped away, they will not buy the president's spin and will hold him to account for his failed record," he added.
Romney himself is vulnerable on the housing issue in Nevada. Last year, he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial board that the market should be allowed to "hit bottom" before a recovery could start.

2 Antique Victorian Gold Fox Head Pins for Her or Him browse these categories for related items... All Items: Archives: Estate Jewelry: Gold: Victorian: Pre 1900: item # 687178 GlitzQueen History and Art to Wear By Appointment Albuquerque, NM 505.205.1404 Guest Book Sold;thank you! |
This pair of circa 1900 antique hunting pins is truly remarkable, both because it's so rare to find a set still together and because they're in virtually pristine condition. Probably of French origin, they're from a gentleman's collection found in Paris and were no doubt used to secure a cravat -- but not used much. The highly detailed and dimensional fox heads measure about 5/8" by 1/2" and the pins are 2" long, crafted in the safety pin style popular in the late 19th century. The reverse of each head is marked ARO and ARO Double, referring to the maker and a double plating process that produced this rich golden finish that still gleams like new today. Hand-craftsmanship was obviously involved, in that one head is a bit more brightly burnished than the other and the end loops vary slightly in size from pin to pin. One pin looks a little more open in the photos, but I've since pinched it in. The underlying metal is somewhat malleable but quite sturdy. The set would be an extraordinary gift -- or two gifts, if you can bear to separate them. There's no charge for insured U.S. shippingm with an equivalent discount for international delivery, and gift-wrap is always free when desired. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking! |

Tim - I am a very big fan of Tawny Port, though I will say that despite some magnificent Tawnies, I have never had one that approached the very best aged VPs. Note that I am setting that bar with Ports such as '45 Taylor, '70 Dow and '85 Fonseca. It's a high bar.

Sarah Palin says the Associated Press is biased and sexist for its decision to run a photo of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Monday (Oct. 8), showing a surprised young girl seemingly looking at Romney's derriere.
"Hell yeah it's media bias, and it's also some sexism, when you consider what the response to Mitt Romney's photo, which is degrading," Palin says on Fox News. "And Associated Press, they're jerks for having run that, even with the caption — I mean, absolute jerks and biased to have tried to taint some people's view of Mitt Romney by running this photo. It's embarrassing."
In the photo, Romney is preparing to pose with a group of students at Virginia school. A vague caption accompanied the AP photo, leaving what was actually happening open to interpretation.
AP executive editor Kathleen Carroll issued an apology Wednesday after some people accused the wire service of deliberately using an unflattering photo of Romney.
"The original caption on the photo of Gov. Romney taken Monday at a Virginia school was literally correct — it said the governor was posing for photos with schoolchildren. But it was too generic and missed the boat by not explaining exactly what was happening," Carroll says in the statement via the Huffington Post. "The student with the surprised expression had just realized that the governor was going to crouch down in front of her for the group photo. We amended the caption on Tuesday with that explanation, but by then many people had seen the photo and were confused by or angry about it."
She continues, "Those generic captions help us process a large number of photos on a busy campaign day, but some photos demand more explanation and we fell short of our own standards by not providing it in this case."

Total revenues were up 2% to $158.5 and freight revenue increased 26% to $100.2 millio
GWI's operating income in the second quarter was $37.9 million, an increase of $23.2 million compared with $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. The operating ratio dropped to 76.1%, down from 88.7% a year ago.
GWI noted that in June 2009, its subsidiary, Huron Central Railway Inc. (HCRY), intended to cease operations. As a result, GWI's results in the second quarter of 2009 included a non-cash write-down of HCRY's non-current assets of $6.7 million and related charges of $2.3 million, partially offset by a tax benefit of $3.6 million (net after-tax impact of $5.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share). GWI has continued to operate HCRY under a temporary operating agreement that terminates in mid-August 2010, unless renewed by the affected parties

Fulham to unveil Michael Jackson statue outside stadium
Hopefully it's not a replica of this one
Fulham owner Mohammed al Fayed has revealed he plans to erect a commemorative statue of pop legend Michael Jackson outside Craven Cottage.
Al Fayed and Jackson shared a special friendship (MJ even did a lap of the ground clad in a Fulham scarf once) and the eccentric Egyptian has decided to pay tribute to their bromance by commissioning a statue of the King of Pop 'in an iconic pose', <insert crass joke here>, to be unveiled before the home game with Blackpool on April 3rd.
Said al Fayed:
He was my friend, a man with whom I shared many happy memories and who died a tragic and untimely death. He left behind a legacy of music so vast it takes one's breath away; from a precocious talent to an ingenuity and ground breaking modernity that shall never be repeated.
It shall often be imitated, but it will never be replicated, Michael Jackson was, and shall always remain, one of a kind. I hope that many fans of his will visit the statue at the Cottage from far and wide, and that Fulham fans will appreciate seeing the finest performer in the world, in and amongst them, the finest fans in the world.
Which loosely associated celebrity figure would YOU like standing outside YOUR club's stadium?

Ge Jvm1653sh06 Range Hood Microwave Dead
Model Number: JVM1653SH06 Brand: GE Age: 5 - 10 years
I have been trying to diagnose a dead microwave, no lights/response from control panel/keypad, electricity is detectable at the filter circuit board and the thermostats and they test closed. If there was once a circuit diagram inside the unit it is no longer there so I am shooting blind. At this point I am assuming that the smart board is non-functional. Thanks for your advice Larry Related Models |

There is 121+v at both sides of the fuse and also at both sides of the cavity thermostat #27, both #115 thermostat's (M.G.T. and bottom) ohm'd as closed and the #110 thermostat (hood) ohm'd open as it should be. The door interlock switches are functioning correctly as is the monitor. The display is still dead so does this make the smart board the likely suspect?
Hi Larry,
Unplug the CN3 connector from the control board and check for 120 VAC between the Black & the Yellow wires at this plug. If the reading is correct, replace the smart board. If the reading is incorrect, then you did something wrong in the previous tests. - The smart board Part number: WB27X10894 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for GE JVM1653SH06 Microwave - AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe will this week address Zanu PF's national conference in Gweru looking to rouse the party rank and file for a final hurrah as he readies to fight what would likely be his last election next year.
Zanu PF has since endorsed the 88 year-old to run again in March and aides say he will tell about 6,000 delegates from around the country that he has one final mission: keeping his party in power and completing the economic empowerment of the country's historically disadvantaged black majority.
Indeed, the possibility that the March poll will likely be Mugabe's last gives added significance to the election, especially after long-term rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, nearly brought the veteran leader's lengthy stay in power to an unhappy end in 2008.
The MDC-T leader stunned Mugabe with a solid trouncing in the first round of the Presidential ballot, before pulling out of the runoff claiming his supporters were being brutalised by Mugabe's henchmen.
Regional peers then refused to endorse Mugabe's second round 'win' resulting in the Zanu PF leader being subjected to the ignominy of sharing power with a man he disparages as a lackey of Western imperialists.
But this time round Zanu PF appears to be pulling all the stops to prevent a repeat of the 2008 debacle. The party looks to be flash with cash and is openly flaunting its riches to the annoyance of partners in the coalition government.
Mugabe is set to address the party faithful at a newly-built US$6 million conference centre just outside Gweru. Officials insist that the facility belongs to the party and dismissed allegations that it was built from diverted diamond funds.
Said deputy Midlands chairman Larry Mavhima: "This is not a Government project, but a private project, a Zanu-PF project. We have our right to privacy and are not accountable to MDC formations or anyone but ourselves.
"That (diversion of diamond funds) is absolute rubbish; hogwash! If anyone can prove that I will personally borrow US$1 million and give that person.
"This money was raised by people in this province who want to see Midlands developing. If we have stolen the money then those people should go and report to the police."
Early last month, the MDCs were also left seething after Mugabe launched a US$20 million agricultural support scheme aimed at helping poor farmers around the country acquire inputs for the new farming season.
The scheme was brazenly launched at the Zanu PF headquarters in Harare, suggesting it was a party, instead of government programme.
Complained MDC legal affairs secretary and Education Minister David Coltart: "Zimbabweans have a right to know who the 'well-wishers' are and where their money comes from. Is it clean? Parallel governance at its worst."
In addition, Mugabe will also be buoyed by progress made in implementing the party's indigenisation programme which forces foreign companies to not only cede majority ownership and control to locals but also fund the equity transfers.
Dismissed by critics as unworkable and likely to cause disastrous investment and capital flight from a still-recovering economy, the programme, spearheaded by Empowerment Minister Saviour Kasukuwere, is in fact looking to be unstoppable.
Most of the country's major mining companies are already implementing compliance plans approved by Kasukuwere and insist that they remain committed to Zimbabwe despite initial murmurs of disapproval and, in some cases, outright threats to either completely pull out of the country or suspend expansion programmes.
Kasukuwere, who has vowed to force the policy on other sectors of the economy, briefed a politburo meeting in Harare Wednesday on the programme which will anchor Mugabe's campaign for the March elections.
"We were given a presentation by Kasukuwere and his staff. They presented a documentary called broad-based empowerment concept. It is an excellent document. We want it presented at conference," said party spokesman, Rugare Gumbo.
"We will have intensive discussion on indigenisation. The conference will concentrate on broad-based empowerment concept which fits well with our theme - 'Indigenise, Empower, Develop and Create Employment'."
Mugabe also goes into next year's elections aided to no small measure by the misadventures of his main rival.
Tsvangirai was recently damaged by embarrassing revelations about his private life which also came on the back of an international survey suggesting support for the MDC-T leader ad his party had collapsed across the country.
US-based international research group Freedom House warned that Mugabe would likely command the support of 31 percent of voters in a presidential election, ahead of rival Morgan Tsvangirai on 19 percent, an alarming prospect for the MDC-T.
Said South African academic, Susan Booysen, who devised and conducted the survey: "I've heard people saying MDC-T is just not doing work in the constituencies and is spending too much time in the palace. They're taking for granted they're the crown princes. They are not capturing the desire for change.
"Perhaps they think they are crown prince that need only wait for Mugabe to go for it to fall in their lap. This is a wake-up call for them that there is no honeymoon."
Tsvangirai this week claimed that improvements registered in education, health and other social services were down to his party's involvement in the coalition government. He added that the MDC-T was also responsible for the country's economic recovery; but it remains a jobless recovery as unemployment is still very high.
Mugabe also suggested during the launch of the input support scheme that he would use the MDC-T's not always edifying performance in government against the party as campaigning for the March ballot gets into full swing.
Said the Zanu PF leader: "This animal (inclusive Government) wants to eat, but when we say the food comes from farming, the other side (MDC) says they are incapable, but the Zanu PF side continues to say we should farm, we should get inputs.
"How is this animal supposed to survive? How is the nation supposed to survive? Are you (MDC) not getting this message?
"If it were a Zanu PF Government without these other partners, do you think you can tell that to the people? A government can dare not say we have no money to give people to grow food for the country.

Remember the 70s? Please welcome Hank Shaw as he shares one of his favorite restaurant pasta dishes from that era, pasta primavera. ~Elise
Pasta primavera. It's very name evokes the 1980s, nouveau cuisine, and bad food clichés. Done in its classic form, which is believed to be invented by the chefs at Le Cirque restaurant in New York City in the late 1970s, primavera is a riot of vegetation doused in butter, cream and lots of parmesan cheese. Our version is a pared down rendition of this classic, simplified and lightened up for more modern tastes.
Why resurrect pasta primavera at all?
Because despite all the jokes, it was – and is – a good dish. Any of us who ate in high style in the late 1970s, or really anywhere in the 1980s, has eaten it at some point in our lives. I ate it a lot. My mother first had it at Le Cirque sometime around 1979, and loved it so much she learned how to make it.
For whatever reason, my mother made her primavera with angel hair pasta, which is a gossamer version of spaghetti that cooks in seconds. It has a lovely mouthfeel and really does make the cream and cheese feel lighter when you eat it.
But, angel hair congeals into a gob in minutes, so don't make the pasta until the sauce is done, and don't wait to serve it – the angel hair must go from pot to plate at once.
Angel hair, also called capellini, is readily available in most supermarkets. Can you use regular old spaghetti? You bet. That's what they used at Le Cirque, after all.
Classic Pasta Primavera Recipe
- 1/2 pound angel hair pasta or spaghetti
- 1 small bunch broccoli, about 1 heaping cup of florets
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 4 asparagus spears
- 1/2 cup peas, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup snow peas
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 Roma or other paste tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 12 basil leaves, chopped
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (use vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt
1 Get a large pot of water boiling. Salt it well. It should taste like the sea. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Boil the broccoli for 1 minute. Add the asparagus and boil another minute. Add the snow peas and boil for 30 more seconds. Remove all the vegetables and plunge them into the ice water. Once they're cool, drain in a colander.
If you want, you can boil your pasta in the same pot you boiled the vegetables in, or you can start over and boil new water; I use the same water.
2 In a large sauté pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter is hot, add the garlic and zucchini and sauté 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes and sauté another 2 minutes, stirring often.
3 Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and turn the heat to high to bring it to a boil. Add the cream and toss in all the vegetables you boiled, plus the peas. Stir to combine. Turn the heat down until the cream-chicken broth mixture is just simmering, not boiling.
4 Add the parmesan cheese and stir to combine. If the sauce seems too thick – it should be pretty thick, but not gloppy – add some more chicken broth, cream or water.
5 Boil the angel hair pasta. Note: If you are using spaghetti, you will want to start cooking it before you begin sautéing the garlic and zucchini. Angel hair will only need 1-2 minutes to cook, vermicelli or spaghetti can take 8-12 minutes.
As soon as the pasta is done, transfer it with tongs into the sauce and stir to combine. Add the basil now, and taste for salt. Add salt if needed. Grind some black pepper over everything and serve immediately.
You will want a dry white wine with this, ideally a dry French white.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said this week that the withdrawal should start next month, as part of a handover to the west African force in Mali, Afisma.
"It would make sense simply to put these African troops under UN command, if the countries who are contributing troops agree to do it, of course," France's ambassador to the UN Gérard Araud said Wednesday.
He conceded that some countries might object but said the force should be a UN peacekeeping force, "which will answer to the UN security council other like any UN peacekeeping force".
The UN Security Council has "no objections" to the idea, he said.
Mali's interim government has opposed the idea, according to UN peacekeeping chief Hervé Ladsous, but he said that the African Union, the Ecowas regional grouping and key UN members were in favour.
Benin's President Thomas Boni Yaya hailed France's "leadership" in Mali on a visit to Paris Wednesday.
"A whole continent, the African continent, is glad of it," he said, judging it reasonable that France should withdraw when Afisma is in place.
The intervention has cost France 70 million euros, so far, according to the defence ministry, and is rising by 2.7 million euros a day.
One of the Al Qaida-linked Islamist groups, Mujao, swore it would carry on fighting on Thursday.
"The combat isn't over. The attacks are going to continue," a representative told the AFP news agency.
Security has been beefed up in the main city, Gao, with large patrols by French, Malian and Nigerien troops.
French helicopters have been patrolling the road between Gao and Douentza, 400 kilometres to the south-west along the road to Bamako, and the area is littered with land mines and improvised explosive devices, according to security sources.
In Douentza itself the Malian army advises residents not to leave town and the road to Mopti, further down the road to Bamako, is closed.
"We can't get to Mopti," a resident told RFI. "We don't have any banks here in Douentza … for the moment we're living off cereals we have grown ourselves but if it lasts any longer it will be catastrophic."
The Tuareg separatist movement MNLA, which initially formed an alliance with the Islamists to seize the north but switched sides when the French advanced north, says it has taken over towns that the army captured but then left.
Some local officials, including Bajan Ag Hamadou, the mayor of one of the towns, Menada, called on the military to reestablish control.

Corner Routes/3-Verticals
Just wanted to mention that I watched the bowl game between Arizona St and Rutgers, and Arizona St used the 3-vertical play at least 10 if not 15 times. Rutgers runs a lot of Cover 2 (HC Schiano came from Miami where he did the same thing) and this is maybe the best play against it. They ran it from all kinds of sets, from gun, with play action, etc. ASU racked up over 600 yards of offense and I swear at least 200 or 250 and several TDs came off this one pass play. Check out this old article I did on the play here.
1 comment:

Chris: I like the 3-verts so much against Cover 2 that I have converted my 4-verts package to adjust automatically to 3-verts when the QB gets a MOFO read pre-snap...

When Nick Clegg admitted earlier this year that he and his wife were nervously deliberating where to send his son for secondary school, he reflected the anxiety of parents across the nation. Finding the right school is a process that can turn determined atheists into enthusiastic churchgoers, and the educational novice into a league-table obsessive. But the changes that the deputy prime minister and his colleagues have implemented in government have made the choices for parents harder than they ever have been before.
Reforms to school structures and management, as well as radical overhauls of the curriculum and the way teachers' performance is measured, have moved the goalposts around school entry. While parents are supposed to have more choice, the reality in the short term may in fact be greater complexity and confusion.
The most significant change – on which Michael Gove, education secretary, has staked his reforming credentials – is the introduction of so-called free schools, inspired by Sweden's "Friskola" and charter schools in the US. Set up by local people who want to improve education in their area, these institutions are state-funded but independent of local authorities. They also have the power to choose their own curriculum.
Some will flourish; others, inevitably, will flounder. For parents, entrusting their children to these new, untested schools is a risk. Officials admit they are years away from a policy on how to deal with failing free schools.
It is not only parents in the state sector who are grappling with these issues: private institutions are also being swept up in the reforms. The option of converting to a free school or an academy has become a potential lifeline for private schools facing a collapse in numbers as local parents are forced to economise. Even if they are pleased to be relieved of paying fees, parents may be given little warning of the conversion from private to state. As one mother tells Chris Tighe ("Private to free"), you cannot buy certainty, however much you might want to.
The challenge, given the pace of change, is to stay ahead as the system evolves. Janette Wallis ("Pick the best") advises that parents setting out in search of a good school need the cunning of Ronnie Biggs. For those not possessed of a criminal mastermind, the key is to start early and visit as many places as possible, demanding the past three years' exam results as you go.
If the task seems daunting, it is worth remembering that the reforms are meant to benefit both pupils and parents in the long run.
A new system for measuring school performance, announced last month, aims to prevent the perverse incentives that cause teachers to focus on pupils on the C/D borderline at the expense of pushing talented students to get A and A* grades. The remodelled curriculum draws on expertise from abroad, aping east Asia's focus on algebra and mental arithmetic, and Massachusetts' enlightened approach to history and geography teaching.
Advances in technology – as described by Merlin John ("Tech matters") – can make for better teaching in the classroom and improved communication between parents and teachers outside it. One London academy has made its staff available until 8.30pm every night to discuss problems with parents on Skype or by text. Whether Clegg will have time for such intense dialogue with his chosen secondary school, the London Oratory, is another matter.

Kitchener Stitch with Kellie Nuss
Never fear Kitchener Stitch, aka Grafting, again! With an easy-to-remember mantra, you'll be able to master this essential technique for elegantly joining two pieces of live knitting. It is used in socks, shoulders, side-to-side knitting, and many other places, so a working knowledge will instantly increase your confidence to try new things. Sample swatch for practice will be provided. Supplies
Blunt-tipped, large-eyed tapestry needle (such as Clover Chibi); 2 knitting needles, US 7 or 8. |
