The St. Louis Cardinals are almost there, clinching a tie for the second NL wild card and spoiling Dusty Baker's return from a mini-stroke with a 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.
"I'm excited," Garcia said. "It's a huge win for us."
After winning for the 11th time in 14 games, the defending World Series champions stayed at Busch Stadium more than two hours after the final pitch to watch the Dodgers snap a ninth-inning tie and beat the Giants 3-2 to avoid elimination. The plan for a late-night delayed victory party had been somewhat muted, with five cases of champagne
A loss by the Dodgers or another Cardinals win would wrap up a playoff spot for St. Louis and a visit to Atlanta for the wild-card game Friday. Both teams have two games to go.
"It's different with this one-game playoff looming over our heads if we get there," second baseman Daniel Descalso said. "I wouldn't expect a raucous celebration but, you know, some celebration is in order if we do clinch it."
First-year manager Mike Matheny and general manager John Mozeliak, dress shoes propped on an end table, watched the game in the manager's office.
"One step closer," Matheny said. "Too early to start going there."
Arroyo (12-10)
"He talked to us about going shorter, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't take the sting out of it," Arroyo said. "We could be 160-0 and a loss is a loss is a loss. It sits there on the back of my baseball card until I die."
The Reds are
More important at this point is getting to the postseason fresh. Baker made it a point to get work for relievers Alfredo Simon and J.J. Hoover, both of whom hadn't pitched lately.
"It was a matter of trying to win the game, but trying to get your guys fresh at the same time," Baker said. "Right now, we're about preservation and conservation."
Baker missed 11 games, including the NL Central clincher and Homer Bailey's no-hitter, while recovering from a stroke in a Chicago hospital that he had while being
Garcia (7-7) made it 5 for 5 at the plate against Arroyo when he led off the third with a drive that just cleared the right-field wall for his second career homer, although the perfect run ended when he flied out to end the fourth.
"I knew. I'm not going to lie to you. I faced him the last couple years and I knew I was 4 for 4," Garcia said. "He's a really good pitcher and he made a mistake and I put a good swing on the ball."
Allen Craig and Yadier Molina added an RBI apiece in a three-run third, and Descalso had an RBI triple in the sixth that made it 4-1. Jason Motte worked a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his
Garcia gave up six hits, including three singles in a span of four at-bats in the third, with Brandon Phillips getting an RBI. Scott Rolen doubled, advanced on a passed ball and scored on Ryan Hanigan's sacrifice fly in the seventh.
The lefty has been a major asset at home throughout his career, going 20-11 with a 2.48 ERA at Busch Stadium, the lowest career mark of any pitcher with 10 or more starts, including 4-2 with a 2.82 ERA in nine starts this year. He's 3-5 with a 5.02 ERA in 11 road starts this year and 14-12 with a 4.47 ERA overall.
NOTES: Arroyo has allowed 26 homers, tied for third-most in the NL with Bailey and fellow Reds pitcher Mike Leake. ... Ryan Ludwick returned to the Cincinnati lineup after missing eight games with left groin tightness but was removed in a double switch in the sixth. ... Reds pitchers combined for seven strikeouts to set a franchise record with 1,231, breaking the mark of 1,227 in 2008. ... Motte has all of the Cardinals' saves. The franchise has never gone a season with just one pitcher getting all of the saves.

Military: Thurayas banned in northeast Nigeria
June 19, 2013 @ 9:05 am
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) - Soldiers fighting to halt an insurgency by Islamic militants are banning the use of Thuraya satellite telephones by civilians in Nigeria's northeastern Borno state, throttling communications already made difficult by cut cell phone service.
Spokesman Lt. Col. Sagir Musa says extremists used Thurayas to plan and coordinate attacks that killed 16 high school students in recent days.
Musa said in a statement Wednesday that Thurayas also were used in the shooting deaths of Muslim religious leaders.
He blamed the killings on the Boko Haram sect whose name means "Western education is sacrilege."
Nigeria a month ago declared a state of emergency in three northeastern states to dislodge the extremists who have killed more than 1,600 civilians since 2010 in a bid to enshrine strict Islamic laws in Muslim-dominated northern Nigeria.

MONCTON, NB—The jury in the Fred Prosser first degree murder trial has found him guilty of all charges.
Along with first degree murder, he was also found guilty of sexual assault and sexual assault causing bodily harm.
The first degree murder conviction carries an automatic sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.
As well, Prosser was sentenced to five years for sexual assault, and seven years for the sexual assault causing bodily harm conviction.
The jury deliberated for ten hours.
The 33-year-old Albert County man was charged in the 2010 death of his ex girlfriend Sabrina Patterson.
She disappeared at the end of October and her body was found about a week later in a wooded area near Hillsborough.

employment effects
- There are 861,000 jobs projected in the [R]evolution scenario in2010, compared to 881,000 in the Reference scenario.
- In 2020, job numbers in both scenarios fall. There is somewhat better retention of jobs in the Reference scenario, with 799,000compared to 741,000 in the [R]evolution scenario.
- By 2030 the job numbers in the [R]evolution scenario are increasing, and there are 754,000. Jobs in the Reference scenario continue to fall, reaching 738,000.
Figure 3.38 shows that, if only energy supply jobs are considered,the Reference has slightly higher job numbers in 2020. However,electricity use in the [R]evolution scenario is reduced by 11% in2020 compared to the Reference case, and 17% by 2030. This will require a major energy efficiency program, potentially creating large numbers of additional construction and energy management jobs.
Over time, both scenarios show significant losses in coal sector employment, with 100,000 coal jobs lost by 2010 in the Reference scenario. While losses in the coal sector are greater in the[R]evolution scenario, strong growth in the renewable sectors,particularly wind power, more than compensates, resulting insignificantly higher job numbers in the [R]evolution scenario.

How to use Peer Instruction
In many ways PI is very easy to use. It does not essentially depend on sophisticated technology, drastic changes to curricula or extensive training on the part of instructors. It does not require a great deal of extra time or money. Once you've understood the basic idea and become convinced of its potential benefits, there's nothing to stop you trying it out straight away, by incorporating one or two quiz questions into your next lecture. The only real difficulty is in thinking up good questions to ask.
That is where the Question Database can come in useful. It provides a collection of well-designed and tested quiz questions, which you are free to download, modify and use straight away in your own classes. There are questions on a wide variety of topics in philosophy, logic, critical thinking and other areas.
If you don't find a question you can use straight away, browsing through the database might nonetheless give you some ideas for the kind of question you could ask in your lecture. You might also want to look at Types of questions you can ask in lectures for some further examples.
So if you think PI might work for you, have a look through the database, download a question or two or write your own and give it a go!
The following pages offer examples and further advice on how to use PI in your lectures:
- Format of lectures
- Voting mechanisms
- Hints and tips on using PI in lectures
- Designing a PI lecture
- An example PI lecture
- Types of question you can ask in lectures
- General advice on writing multiple-choice questions

Have you ever needed to purchase gifts when you didn't have any idea wat to buy? You could spend a long day at the mall buying gifts and then realize that you forgot a few people and have to make another trip out for more shopping. Doing a little planning before you hit the stores can save you time, frustration, and money. Hopefully these tips will help. 1. Prepare a total budget. Knowing how much money you have to spend before you buy will help keep you from overspending.
2. Make a list of who you need to buy for, including some ideas of what they might like and how much you are able to spend on them.
3. Leave room on your list for notes. As you shop you could jot down prices of items you may want to buy before you actually go back and make purchases. This comparison of prices can add up to big savings!
4. If you're ordering online, make sure you shop early enough and make sure you're shopping on a secure server from a reputable company. Also, make sure the shipping and handling prices are reasonable.
5. Try not to make too many purchases for yourself! When you see something you want, think about putting it on your own Christmas list rather than buying it for yourself.
6. Keep your receipts for easy returns and so you can use the information for planning for next Christmas. This will give you a record of the total amount of money you spent.

A shade too expensive, I think £350 and we'd be talking.
Crap specs for £400, will be avoiding.
Mine's ordered. Will get a Surface pro once the second generation with Haswell come out - the current surface pro with IVB is not a lot of use without active standby.
479 with the cover? no thanks
To be honest - this had to be £399 with cover. As it stands - it will flop.

Agreed, the cover should be included in the price. That, or have a better resolution display (I'm thinking...Transformer Pad Infinity style)
edit: The included Office seems like a great deal, but the problem is the average person wouldn't give a crap, and just be put off by the sticker price.
If the build quality is as good as they say, I'm in.
it looks nice, but that's a little too much for me to fork out to be honest.
Same price as iPad but with more storage AND better features.
OK so the screen isn't as high resolution (disappointing but the overall quality is still high) but I reckon you'd get a lot more done with one of these for it to be a competitive tradeoff, it could be more than a consumption device, still I think not as good as an Ultrabook though by a long way.
Biggest problem I see is the ridiculous price of the keyboard cover, that is taking the piss, over £100? Are they having a giraffe? Seriously, for a mini keyboard with a clip on it? You can buy reasonable Android tablets for that.
The touch cover needed to be included in the price, £399 inc black cover for 32GB, £479 for 64GB. Optional upgrade at purchase to the type cover for £10, swap colour for £10 or £20 for fancy coloured type cover. Max price £499. Undercuts iPad and Asus Transformer by a bit to compensate for average screen and also gives usable features, worth the premium over a basic laptop and slots in just below cheaper Ultrabooks... done.
Android has the cheap market sorted, trying to compete there would be pointless, I think MS were close here but no cigar.
Problem for MS is home users don't understand that Office isn't he same thing as Windows, and unlike businesses certainly won't pay a premium for it. We get someone walks into the office every week asking why the new laptop they bought at Curry's hasn't got Word or Excel, and they look confused. They invariably get a pirate copy from their brother or something in the end.
This late to the game i think they needed to take a hit on the pricing just to get some market share,
to pricey for the spontaneous buyers

-Tim, UK
Having been a regular to Las Vegas for the past several years, I have tried a multitude of different resources to get me and our group in and out of various locales in Sin City. While some may "serve the purpose" VegasVIPHottieHosting, is second to none.Yvette takes into account everything you want to do and caters to your every need. She will spend time "BEFORE" you actually arrive and talks to you about what you want to do, then makes recommendations and reservations based on your needs not her opinion, as many do. From the limo to the perfect table, she always takes care of us.
She has hosted us on numerous occasions and we certainly felt like VIP's each and every time. So listen to me when I say don't waste your time checking the competition, there is none.
-Ray Hornsby, Alabama
Just wanted to send you a shout saying thank you for your amazing work! PURE was off the hook insane! We had a great time! I will definitly be looking you up next time I come to Vegas!
-Jeff Nelson
My name is Jason. I was partying down in Vegas Memorial Day weekend. I just wanted to say that I had the most amazing weekend!! Yvette is truly THE BEST VIP Hostess around!! The experiences I had this weekend will stay with me forever….And it doesn't hurt to be partying with the Hottest woman in town either!! (My God, you are smoking hot!!) lol. I will definitely be giving out your contact information to anyone I know that is going to Vegas. Thank you again for an amazing weekend Yvette!
Yvette delivers as promised. Each time we have used her services, the event has gone perfectly.

Home > News | 9 March 2007 |
Living Labs to mark World Water Day 2007 In time for World Water Day on 22 March, TVE Asia Pacific has released the broadcast and public version of a global TV series on freshwater issues. Called Living Labs, the new series looks at worldwide efforts by researchers and farmers to grow more food with less water -– one of the biggest challenges in agriculture and freshwater management. This resonates with 'Coping with Water Scarcity', the theme for World Water Day 2007 (see box). The Living Labs series is also dedicated to the United Nations International Decade on Water for Life, 2005 – 2015. Between 70 and 90 per cent of all freshwater drawn in the developing world is used for growing crops. But has to change fast, says Living Labs: with water scarcity emerging as a global concern, agriculture cannot afford to remain so hooked on water.
Today's crowded world needs to produce more food using both less water and land. This calls for smarter, thriftier methods of increasing water's productivity in agriculture. And it must be achieved without damaging the environment, or threatening people's food security, health and jobs. This is just what the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF), a global research initiative, has set out to do. TVE Asia Pacific produced this TV series in close partnership with CGIAR-CPWF, whose work is featured through various case studies. Living Labs was filmed in late 2006 in nine countries in Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America. As CPWF researchers started synthesizing their findings after three years of field work, TVEAP camera crews travelled to eight of benchmark river basins -– the 'living laboratories' of this action research –- to find out what has been accomplished, and what remains to be done. The Living Labs series was premiered at the International Forum on Water and Food, held in Vientiane, Laos, on 12 - 17 November 2006. Hosted by the Mekong River Commission (MRC), it brought together 300 top researchers and policy makers from all over the world. The series reflects the spirit of the Challenge Program: researchers working with each other, as well as with farmers, officials and others having a stake in water management, land use or food production. Interviews bring in the views of men and women from different backgrounds, who speak over a dozen local languages. Supervised by TVEAP's location filming director, all filming was done by locally-based and internationally credentialed camera crews in each country –- an important element in TVEAP's policy of engaging local talent. The series was edited in Melbourne, Australia. "This was one of the most ambitious and challenging video production we have undertaken," says Nalaka Gunawardene, TVEAP's Director and CEO, who wrote and executive produced the series. "We immediately recognized the scientific, survival and development value of these stories. But we wanted to tell these stories in a way that everyone can understand and relate to." In conceptualizing and producing Living Labs, TVEAP applied its tried-and-tested approach: be informed by science, but not immersed in it. A regionally operating non-profit foundation, TVE Asia Pacific has a decade's experience in documenting the Asia Pacific's quest for environmentally and socially sustainable development. It taps the power of moving images to tell factual, authentic stories drawn from the ground level and 'ground zero'. All TVEAP films are produced journalistically to suit non-technical, public audiences, and are distributed without copyright restrictions worldwide.The Challenge Program on Water and Food is a worldwide research initiative under the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research, or CGIAR -- a strategic alliance of members, partners and international agricultural centres that mobilizes science to benefit the poor. Ultimately, the Program seeks to reduce poverty and enhance food security –- two of the most important international development priorities. Click here for promotional flyer on Living Labs |

A House Republican lawmaker who helped shape the Congressional energy battle over the Keystone XL pipeline said that after the election he will promote a 30-year strategy to extend the boom in U.S. natural gas production.
Lee Terry, a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce committee, said he is looking at whether legislation is needed to spur development of natural gas.
"I think when we look at a comprehensive energy policy next year, natural gas may be the epicenter of that conversation," Terry said in an interview.
Terry championed efforts in the Republican-led House of Representatives to override President Barack Obama's decision to delay TransCanada Corp's Keystone pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada to Texas.
After the Nov. 6 presidential election, Terry said he plans to push for a broad new energy plan, the shape of which is still to be determined.
"We've nibbled at the edges the past couple of years, mostly chasing (Environmental Protection Agency) rules and regulations, but I think whoever wins the presidency, we need to really sit down and have our 30-year strategy," he said.
Next week, he is convening a meeting in his Omaha, Nebraska district with more than a dozen national groups involved in using natural gas for power, transportation, fertilizer, manufacturing and export.
The discussion will focus on whether legislation could help "make sure that the game-changing supply of natural gas is actually used," or ease uncertainty about whether the federal government will impose new rules for hydraulic fracturing, Terry said.
After the election, the administration faces the thorny issue of whether to allow exports of liquefied natural gas. Some lawmakers have raised concerns that could increase costs for consumers and industry.
Terry said he wants to see the United States benefit most from its supplies of cheap natural gas, but is not opposed to exports.
"I think bringing foreign money into our country, selling our products, is actually economically healthy," he said.
The fate of a $12 billion tax credit for wind energy plants will also be in play after the election. The measure is set to expire, and many Republicans are loathe to renew the subsidy.
Terry said he hopes to advocate for "middle ground" that would see new wind power installations eligible for the credit for a three- to five-year window to help them get established, but he said he was not sure whether that idea would meet with approval from his colleagues.

GOOD OL' FASHIONED AMERICAN STYLE FOOD. Very good meals, served quickly, and fresh. Nothing fancy here but the prices are LOW and the portions are generous. Breakfast is especially reasonable & the service is very friendly. I have eaten there many times and have not been disappointed!
Not everyone understands.
I have been to the Egg Connection several times. I have taken many dates there in the past. Now of course it is my wife's favorite restaurant. I even proposed to her there. I can not help but try to relate situations in life. I do my best to see both sides of any story. I love this restaurant. They have the best homemade French toast this side of the Milky Way.
I wanted to express my concern with the person that commented on the lemons. Most people who patronize a restaurant do not know what is exactly involved in running such an establishment. Especially with the cost of fuel increasing, having supplies -- such as produce -- delivered to the restaurant is not cheap. It costs the establishment money to purchase the lemons so why should someone else get them for free? A lot of people who order "lemon water" use sugar at the table to make their own lemonade. That sugar costs money too. I just want people to understand the other side of it. The restaurant is not making money on lemon water -- merely covering their costs to get the lemons there in the first place.
I hope that is helpful in understanding how a small mom & pop establishment has to survive. A major corporation such as IHOP or Deny's does not have the same worries as a small business. You might have to pay fifty cents for some lemon; but, you will not get the quality and service for a better price anywhere else.
My advice try it for yourself. You will not regret it.
Charging for lemons when ordering water with a meal!. First time patronizing the Egg Connection today. One must read the entire menu (front to back). Food was good - the usual cafe type of food for breakfast for an omellete, homefries, and toast. I had water to drink and ordered lemons for my water - was appauled when I checked out to find that I was charged 50 cents a dish for lemons for my water. I had gotten two dishes (just the lemons cost $1.00 at checkout). They showed me where on the menu it states that they do indeed charge for lemons but I personally patronize many establishments here in Tucson and have never been charged for lemons when getting water to drink with my meal. I personally will never go back to the Egg Connection!
Best breakfast, best service, fantastic family-owned restaurant.
Tucked in the Ft. Lowell/Country Club shopping plaza is a family-owned restaurant that has both standard and innovative dishes, excellent service, and an irrepressible family atmosphere where everyone is welcome. The outside doesn't reflect what you'll find inside: character, funky ambience, humor, and dedicated professionalism wrapped up in a family package.
People who love where they work reflect that in their food and their service. These folks take pride in every dish that comes out of the kitchen, and in every order they take. When the owner gets behind the grill and their daughter serves it to you, it's clear they take quality personally.
The food, the atmosphere, the customers and staff -- this is a singular experience in Tucson. Packed on the weekend, but if you're game, dive right in!
Oh, and watch out for their signature cinnamon rolls. They put Cinnabon to shame!

Selecting a Service Dog
Service Dog Training » Selecting a Service Dog
What is a Service Dog?
Service dogs are specially trained dogs who accompany patients with various problems, around the house and in public places. These medical conditions range from blindness, mental challenges to physical challenges and heart and sugar problems. The service dogs, according to the AAT (Animal Assisted Therapy), help in the mobility and healing processes of the patient, together with performing many patient welfare duties.
Any dog, with a proper training, can go on to become a service dog. But, as is a fact that every breed comes with certain innate qualities of its own, they are chosen according to the duties that they are to be entrusted with.
The Selection Procedure
There exists a detailed selection procedure for testing the puppies around various aspects and determining which ones are fit for the job. Let's take a look at what exactly this process includes.
The ideal puppy age for conducting the tests and for training is 49 days; this is the time when it develops its mental abilities to learn and incorporate new habits. The test is conducted on the basis of what kind of dog is required. It may be required for search and rescue service, diabetic service, physiatrist service, playmate for children, or as a guide for its master.
These tests date back to 1930's, when, initially, they were conducted to recruit guide dogs to assist blind patients. Here, they were studied for their behavioral patterns- their behavior when subjected to different situations. All these tests were carried out to find the most friendly and hard-working dogs. They were also successful in influencing the future behavior of such dogs. But, these tests had to be done within the first 49 days of the puppy's birth due to the above stated fact.
Coming back to the tests, a comprehensive program was developed- Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test (PAT), which consisted of a series of 10 tests with a scoring scale of 1-6. These tests are today, conducted in an orderly manner and evaluated by professional trainers. The order in which these tests are conducted is as follows:
- Social adaptability- The puppies are tested for their reaction to new people and places. Things like their behavior and actions, under such circumstances, are observed and noted. The level of restlessness or, in contrast, their calm and composed behavior play a key role in their selection. Of course, they could react in all sorts of ways, but trainability is the factor that is judged here.
- Attitude to follow- Is the puppy willing to follow its handler or it has a mind of its own, this trait is observed here. Some dogs with attitude issues are very hard to train. Ease and comfort are the primary factors associated with the usage of a service training dog.
- Restraining behavior- The level of their restraining abilities are checked here, when subjected to various conditions. A canine with very inquisitive nature will not be easy to train and would require the trainers to work hard on it.
- Level of obedience- The puppies are tested for the level of their obedience. We definitely require an absolutely obedient service dog around a patient. It should listen and obey all the commands, whether at home , or at a social gathering. It is not the patient, but his/her pet that needs to take care of the patient. Bearing this in mind, puppies are evaluated here.
- Elevation- This test judges the pup's behavior when under restrain at a veterinarian's clinic.
- Retrieving ability- The pup is scored for its willingness and the speed for retrieving an object. This is a vital function as in the hour of need, when the patient loses his mobility, the service dog has to run and retrieve the medication for him.
- Sensitivity to touch- This test governs the choice of training equipment required for the particular dog. Breeds with less touch-sensitivity are preferred when it comes to domesticating them.
- Hearing Sensitivity- A dog that is less sensitive to loud cracker noise and other such disturbances is preferred here.
- Sight sensitivity- How much and in what manner does a dog react on seeing moving vehicles, running children, etc, is a matter of concern. On seeing such things, it shouldn't get overly excited and start running after them, leaving the patient behind.
- Overall stability- In this round, a pup's overall behavioral sensitivity is judged.
So, based on the scores of all these ten tests, puppies are judged and their future behavior, in adulthood, predicted by the trainers. The puppies that score in the range of 3's and 4's will usually, be easy to train. The trainers will have to do some hard work on the rest of the puppies.
This is a detailed account of how these service-training dogs are selected and trained at training centers.

Considering Kathleen Turner was in the lead, and Charles Busch (supposedly) provided the camp, we went into this play expecting much more, or at least minimal entertainment. We received neither and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. Though several couples got up and left during intermission, we decided to stick with it, perhaps in hopes it might get better and out of general respect for an actress of Ms. Turner's caliber. Had I known at intermission what I know now, we would have cut our losses and headed for a slice of pizza which no doubt provided more entertainment and a better aftertaste.

Considering the amount of talent connected to this show, it came as a complete shock that it was so terrible. Kathleen Turner appeared confused, flubbing a line more than once, and she in no way played the character to the level it deserved and to which she was capable. As for the play itself, though creative and different, the storyline felt like a first draft of something written by an untreated sufferer of ADD. It was all over the place. And at a certain point, I gave up caring. Could it maybe work? Sure. Would it require a lot of work to fix? Yes. Meaning, this play, in its current state, doesn't belong anywhere near let alone on a stage.

Charles Busch is wonderful- every moment he is on stage all of NYC lights up- Unfortunately, he's not on stage as long as he should be. This play has wonderful themes and a ton of potential, but it needs sharp editing. (Razor shapr editing-) the 2 hours seemed endless. Kathleen Turner is terribly miscast and (at least at the performance I saw) phoned in her role- didn't even look as though she was attempting to be in the play. Her scenes drag terribly and become redundant. All of the other actors are wonderful - Zygote?!!! Give that man his own show! He's wonderful. We need more Zany Busch!!! The final image is spellbinding.
— C. Herr, PA
February 4th, 20099:32 am
I am so tired of reading that Busch is to blame for this show. What about his longtime director who seems to re-direct all of his earlier plays and take credit for them as if he did them originally. A good director will help and fix a playwrights work, and this play needs one. It's time Busch move on to better directors, not one that only worries about sets and costumes.

I was so moved by this play that I literally got goosebumps days later thinking about the power of the final image. The Third Story perfectly captures our cultural moment... a swing away from smoothed surfaces and blurry aesthetics and a return to darkly beautiful truths and honest pain. I don't think this play is for everyone, but it certainly is for me.
— brian, NY

Kathleen Turner is terrifying and inviting. Editing is the problem. Layers of meaning and complexity (some profound) deserve unearthing - before the last 10 minutes. Get out the blue pencil and let me engage from the outset.
— Schreefer, New York, New York
February 3rd, 20091:17 pm
I had not set my expectations too high but I was excited at the prospect of a Busch play cast with Kathleen Turner. I came away disappointed and bored. There were not many laughs in this drawn out and unfinished yet rich piece. I found it a mish-mash of themes and genres where the main storyline of mother and son were just not strong enough or interesting enough to carry ones interest for the duration of the play. Give it a pass.
February 3rd, 200912:00 pm
There is more cleverness, wit, hysteria, and fun acting (and acting out) onstage at the Lucille Lortel than you'll find almost anywhere else in New York right now. I found the intermingling of fairy tales, Hollywood B-movies, and realism fascinating. Sure, you have to pay attention to keep the stories straight, but if you insist on being a passive viewer, there's plenty waiting for you at home on TV. As for the cast, they were all excellent. It's always a joy to see Kathleen Turner on stage, and her domineering, manipulative mother here is a perfect fit. Charles Busch is brilliant, as always--here in two very different roles. I'm running out of time and space to comment on the rest of the cast, but each and every performance is compelling. The only quibble I have--which is a longing more than a complaint--is that I would have loved to see Busch and Turner acting together more. (They appear primarily in parallel, non-intersecting storylines.) But that's a minor point. In sum, a great evening (or afternoon) of LIVE theater.

I've always loved Charles Busch -- if only because I have no idea what sort of surprise he might spring on us next. I was a bit put off by the program note (NOTE TO CHARLES: nuff-eee with the otes-nay), but I was pleased by the way the multi-streamed, multi-media multi-plots came together. There is no other playwright who could bring together such a giddy blend of realism, parody, and surrealist fantasy. And the production is the best he could hope for, with fabulous actors and clever design. To be sure, some scenes come off better that others, and Kathleen Turner is a bit under-utilized, but the show is well worth a trip to Christopher Street. We won't see another show like it this year -- or any year, until Busch returns.
— Harry Matthews, Brooklyn, NY
February 1st, 20099:50 pm
First, I'm a big fan of Charles Busch. But this show is, quite simply, incomplete. It is a disjointed mash-up of four stories, none of which is very compelling by itself. And the effort to join them falls totally flat. Charles himself is always good for a chuckle, but not worth the work of sitting through the rest of the thing. It was interminable. When the curtain finally fell, I couldn't believe I was finally allowed to leave.

anyone not familiar with mr busch s work should either educate themselves or forever hold their piece. mr busch is a serious scholar of the B movie, and any production of his should be treated as a romp, and a persiflage of those films. to dismiss his work as ridiculously silly is to miss the entire point. that ms turner decided to give credence to his play is very much to her credit and continual growth as an actor, and she joins the ranks of such notables as frances conroy, lauren ambrose and linda lavin in interpreting his writing. although i am a devotee of playwrights like shanley, foote, ibsen, chekov and shakespeare, i certainly keep enough levity in my life to enjoy the kind of fare provided by mr busch as well. with regard to ms turner s retirement, please not for a long time. forgetting lines rewritten that very afternoon is to be forgiven, and if you are not prepared for that, attend performances after opening night when the words are cast in stone. if you have sense of humor and enjoy diversity in theater, this play is not to be missed.

Let me start by saying that I've seen everything Ms. Turner has been in on film and on the NY Stage - everything! She's a great and wonderful actor. However, it's time for her to go behind the stage and stick to directing. She did a marvelous job directing Crimes of the Heart last season. It's painful for her fans to see her forgetting lines and unable to speak fluidly. It's also painful to see her take a part in a ridiculously silly play meant for a very esoteric, Greenwich Village crowd. She's way above this play.

OK, I have editted a movie in Adobe Premiere CS3 and I am trying to export using the H.264 codec. I have tried 3 times with various different settings, yet whenever I play back the finished video in quicktime, the image is jumpy and has kind of a lagging or ghosting look to it. I can't seem to get this right. All i want is it to look good and play smooth because its final destination is vimeo. I have followed their compression settings perfectly but everytime i get the same thing. I'm pretty sure its not my computer because in Adobe premiere it plays fine, and the raw footage (.m2t) plays fine, and all HD videos on Vimeo plays fine. Could somebody pleeeease help.
Settings for export
Codec: H.264
Audio: ACC
Frame rate: 29.97
1280 x 720
Bitrate: 5.2 Mbps
Is it better to export to MPEG 2 first then conver to MPEG4 afterwards?

Post subject: Deep Six Chapter 13
Split Fire
Chapter 13 Deep Six
Gabe was looking over the logs of his other ships while he waited on Bob to finish up a job and join him on the Seeker. Gabe had been monitoring the sector ever since he got the invite to search it and as far as Pirate sectors went this wasnt a hot spot by far. The only action he had seen was a pair of Pirate Harriers and a freighter that fly into the sector every other day and wait on a lone freighter trying to save time by making a straight run through to save time gets shot at till he drops some freight to satisfy his attackers. Then the run down freighter picks up the freight and the three go off to the Pirate Station and in the next sector and repeat the process every two to three days. The Pirate Station just through the East Gate in Brennans Triumph is a beehive of activity with Pirate ships setting and waiting on someone to fly into there sector to attack.
Gabe watches on the viewer as a freighter enters the sector and a lone Pirate Buster heads out at full speed to intercept and fires on the freighter. The other Pirate ships must know something is up as they turn the other way and retreat as Buzzard clears the Gate and opens up on the Pirate Buster attacking the freighter. Then a Nova clears the Gate and makes quick waste of the what was left of the Buster that was attacking the freighter. The Buzzard picked up the missiles dropped by the gung ho Pirate that made a deadly mistake then rejoined his group. Gabe watched as the convoy flew on through the sector unchallenged while the Pirates stayed clear lurking off in the distance waiting on a easier mark to stray into their sector.
Gabe get a message from Bob stating hell be there in two hours and the crew will be back in three so Gabe refocuses his attention on Split Fire. He watches as the two Pirate Harriers wait off in the background near the Pirate Vulture. The Pirates had been in the sector for a day and half and it was about time for them to make their move on something. Gabe watched as a Octopus entered the sector and pulled away from the Gate. Then a Dolphin entered the sector and set course for the South Gate as the Octopus fell into a escort position. Gabe seen the Pirate Harriers take out on a intercept course for the Dolphin after it was into the sector and couldnt get away. The Dolphin stayed to it course at a snails pace compared to the Harriers closing quickly on the Dolphin Two drones are lunched from the Dolphin as the Octopus turns to intercept the Pirates while the Dolphin stays its course strait for the Gate.
One of the drones are taken out while the Octopus fires a wasp at one of the Harriers the other Pirate Harrier fires a wasp back at the Octopus. While the two ship turn to take out the incoming missiles the second Harrier lines up on the Octopus and opens fire while the Pilot is focused on the missile ripping its two shields away and badly damaging it hull in seconds. As the Harrier destroys the missile on its tale while the missile on the Octopus missed on its first run it turns to retarget its now setting target. The one Pirate Harrier sets by to watch the Octopus blow up while the other Pirate Harrier races to the Dolphin.
The Octopus explodes and disappears from the screen while the Pirate watching picks up the dropped missile and heads for the Dolphin now under fire. Gabe watches trying to decide if he could help but knows he needs to stay where he is as the two Harriers drop the shields on the Dolphin and the Pilot ejects.
Gabe watches as the ejected Pilot is picked up and the Dolphin changes course for the East Gate now under the control of the Pirates. Gabe looks at the ID codes of the Harriers and copies them down on his PDA as he clenches his fist deciding at that moment they had better not come into the sector while they were there because he planed on making an exception about attacking Pirates in the sector for them.
[Bit] Gabe your Uncle has just enter the Sector.
Gabe watched the Pirates as the Vulture fell in behind the Dolphin as the group headed for the East Gate.
[Gabe] Bit turn off the monitor. Wheres Bob and hows the crew doing?
[Bit] Bob is requesting permission to dock and the crew has one and a half more hours left in the simulators.
[Gabe] Dock him in port three Im on my way to meet him at the transport.
Bob stepped off the transporter saying. Im here we can leave now.
[Gabe] Well be ready in a about two hours.
Bob looked around as the two of them walked down the main hall. Gabe wheres the crew?
[Gabe] Theyre at the Station getting some fighter simulator time in. Theyll be back in a couple of hours then we can leave. Tell me what you know about the sector while we wait.
Bob smiled. I dont know much you may find about anything there every known race has fought a massive battle in that sector at one time so I would advise a very deep search. You may hit the jackpot and find a capitol ship worth fixing or a hidden Xenon Station or a Gate to a new sector take you pick.
[Gabe] Youre not being much help Bob. Let me show you my plans on searching the sector while we eat a snack and I will extend the search area.
[Bob] How about a meal I havent eat.
Gabe told Bob his plans while they ate and talked waiting on the crew to get back.
As soon as the crew got back and settled in Gabe checked the Sector map out in his room and seen it was clear and announced they were going to jump. The crew stood by as the Ship cleared the Gate into Split Fire and pulled away from the Gate while the jump drive charged taking them above the scanner range of the traffic and stations. Gabe deployed the satellite and the sector came back into view. Gabe looked over at Luke and Jack. Are you two ready to get started the sector is quite and nows as good a time as any?
The two looked back. Yes Sir.
Gabe smiled. Then take off. Bob sent the station owner a message telling him they were there and thanks.
The two took off finding a few small missiles around the sectors borders but everyone watched until the ships were well out of scanner range of ships entering the sector. A message came in from Luke four hours out his hole was full and he needed a pickup. Simon took the Nova and made the pickup. A hour later Jack called for a pickup and a ship he spotted for them to check out. This time Simon took Mike with him to make the run.
They all set waiting on a message form the Nova to find out what kind of ship it was and was it worth trying to salvage. The ship turned out to be a old model of the Paranid Pegasus and it was salvageable. Mike had transported over and was making repairs inside to the systems while a repair drone worked on the rest of the ship.
The older version of the Pegasus wasnt much more that a pair of shields and a single weapon strapped on a engine and the second version wasnt much better but did have two weapons. But there speed was unmatched even by race ships of the day. Repair lasers were just a wishful ideal a few years ago and if the pilot of that ship had one he may have been able to repair the ship and make it back to his base.
Luke called right before his shift was over and reported a second ship but he had Identified it as a old N class Xenon ship surrounded by two hulled out halfs of Xenon fighters and some debris. The Nova was about to return to the Seeker with Mike to pick up the girls to start the second shift while the drone worked on the last repairs needed to get the Pegasus flying.
Simon jumped back and transferred the freight over and picked up the Girls and the extra repair kit and drone and jumped away. First stop Jack and then Luke and on to the N while the search continued.
The N was in good shape considering it had been adrift in space for who knows how long.
This time the drone transported over and got the ship repaired in about a hour after repairing the ships computer and restarting the systems. They transported the drone back over and set the auto pilot on the N to go to the Seeker. They jumped back to the Pegasus and picked up the drone and sent the ship on to the Seeker. The Nova docked and unloaded the freight while Gabe tried to decide what to do with two ships so early on in the search they knew they were going to sell.
So Gabe made the call to keep the ships close to the Seeker and use the repair lasers in the turrets to finish repairing the hulls to full. A supply of equipment had been picked up and inventory on the last run the Nova had salvaged from the hulled out ships near both ships with the transporter that could be installed on the two ships.
The first ship to make it was the Pegasus that was faster in its damaged state than the N was maxed out.
Everyone was excited as they looked out at the tiny ship as it moved around while the repair lasers did their job fixing the hull. Luke and Jack had went to bed with the rest of the crew to get some sleep in case they were needed to relieve someone after the Pegasus showed up and everyone got a good look.
The Pegasus was already repaired and parked in a holding position when the N eased into the firing range of the lasers and the repairs started.
Gabe looked at the N as the lasers worked on the fractures in its hull. Simon had been making the runs and had went to bed along with everyone else for the same reason this sector was keeping everyone hopping. Gabe was weary as he waited on Mike and Steve to show up so he could make the last run and he was going to try and rest a little in between shifts. Just as Gabe, Steve and Mike were about to leave when Donna sent a message. Ships hole full found wreckage of two Xenon Capital ships and fighters scattered around the area. Scans show two fighters may be worth claming and lots of freight Im unable to carry. I am holding position and waiting on pickup.
Gabe looked at the message Donna had hit the jackpot and found two capitol ships and a collection of fighters. They loaded both drones and jumped to pick up Ann first and let Steve take her place. Then jumped to meet up with Donna. Mike wanted to see the ships to see how many they could salvage before he took off. He searched the scans for ship number three but no such luck Donna had made the right call two ships was it the rest were scrap. Donna transported the freight over and Mike took her place and restarted the search.
[Donna] Was this what you were looking for Captain? Well get a good bonus out of this sector!
[Gabe] This is a good find but I was hopping for a TL we could fix and use as a base to work out of.
[Donna] I seen a old Paranid TL stuck on the surface of a ore asteroid with a slight magnetic field but when I scanned it there was nothing in it. It was like someone had picked it clean! I think the Xenon had to have stripped every part out of it after they disabled it and it drifted onto the asteroid and stuck.
Gabe claimed the two ships and transported the drones and repair kits over and looked at Donna intently. Did you run a advanced scan on the TL?
[Donna] No just a standard scan I could see it was a old TL. Did I do something wrong?
[Gabe] No but when were through here I want to take a closer look at it on the way back. I heard about Pirates using crates that were lined with a material that showed up as ore with a small magnetic field and standard scanners couldnt read the contents of the crates. It was all hearsay but all sector security forces use advanced scanners now. It may not be nothing but I want to look anyway.
The ship was scanning the field transporting part after part onboard the Nova and back to the old Xenon N and old Paranid Pericles the drones were repairing. Gabe had closed his eyes and stretched was out. When Donna woke him up. Hay Gabe wake up the both ships are ready to go and the drones and kits are onboard.
Gabe looked at his watch he had been out for five hours. Gabe looked over at Ann who was asleep and told Donna. Im sorry Donna I was planning on returning to the Seeker so we could all get some rest well jump back now.
[Donna] Ann just woke me up she stayed up and let us sleep but not she wants to sleep a little while we look at the TL.
Gabe sent a message to the Seeker to jump close by and pick up the ships and freight. Seconds later the Seeker was there with Simon asking. You been gone a while is everything alright?
[Gabe] I fell asleep and they let me sleep till the ship were ready. Ill transport the freight over is Luke and Jack up?
[Simon] Yes. Gabe looked at Donna. You and Ann trans port back to the Seeker and get some rest Ill take Luke and Jack with me. Gabe opened the Com. Simon send Luke and Jack over and our special drone. Donna and Ann are transporting over to get some rest I want to go look at a stripped TL Donna seen before we jump back.
Bob opened the com. Gabe can I come with you I just been setting around?
[Gabe] Of course transport over and Simon transport over two of the heavy EVA work suits. We have one but I want two more.
[Simon] Alright Gabe be careful and dont forget the shift change.
[Gabe] Roger that.
Bob was onboard with the suits and Luke and Jack Gabe made one last scan of the area than jumped after the Seeker jumped away. Gabe closed on the massive TL it had been in a serious battle and the normal scan showed it was empty. But the new intense scanner showed a different story when they got close enough and turned it on. The equipment was there but everything was off line and badly damaged. The hull had to many holes in it to count. Gabe stared at the old beaten down monster of a ship trying to decide if he wanted to try and fix it or just fly away.
Bob spoke up. Gabe I know your trying to decide if it worth it or not and I say it is because of the hull its made out of a scan resistant material that alone is worth something. I say fix it! Besides its a hybrid version of the old box model TL and the turtle looking model and it has four turrets and five shield slots I like it.
Luke Spoke up. It is different and its as big as a small station it would make a nice base.
[Gabe] Ill send the security drone over get some ideal of what the inside looks like first.
Gabe transported the drone into the heart of the ship. The video showed it had been in a fight as plasma burns reached through out the ship the main power generator room was the main target of the attack and was about gone just housing hulled out pieces of equipment. The turrets and bridge were gone as the camera drone showed the empty holes they were in as it flew around. Three of the shields were gone and the forth was in peaces but the fifth shield could be repaired. Which gave them a ray of hope as the drone moved on into the ship. Gabe stopped the drone and sent it into a room that translated backup generator.
The drone worked on getting the big blast door open and as it slid open a body came floating out then another. Five Paranid had held up in the room waiting on a rescue that never came. The drone scanned the generator room it was in good shape it was the rest of the ship that had it shorted out.
So now they would have some power it was the rest of the ship that was problem.
Gabe called Simon and told him about the TL and asked him to pick up the satellite they were moving the base of operations to where the TL was. Dock the claimed ships and jump to meet them near the TL.
Gabe sent the drones over to start work on the TL while they waited on the Seeker to jump to there position.
The Seeker jumped in and dropped the satellite. Im sending the ships a message telling them our new location transport over and fill me in.
Gabe transported over and started transporting equipment over to the TL needed in the repairs. And asked Simon to jump to Paranid Prime and sell the ships and missiles they had collected in the sector. Then jump to Argon Space and buy two large construction units with power supplies and a dozen repair drones, kits and lasers and jump back to the TL.
The plan was to get the ship off the asteroid, repaired and flying stable. Then install a jump drive and jump to the safety of a Argon sector and finish the repairs.
Gabe received a message from Mike asking about the shift change. Gabe looked at his watch and again he was late. Simon undock Bobs ship Ill leave him here to watch the TL while I make the shift change. Can you make it back in eight hours?
[Simon] If I cant does it really matter were going to be here a while tell them to take it easy or fly till I get back we did 12 hour shifts remember. I hurry if I can and dont get hurt in that heap while Im gone.
Gabe jumped back over to his Nova and jumped away while Bob watched over the site in his Nova.
The security drones job now was collecting the dead bodies while it searched the ship for dangers and storing them in a empty container still secured in the massive cargo hole. Gabe planed on returning them to the Paranid as soon as he could get the ship safely out of the sector.
Gabe made the shift change and transported the freight over and as Steve transported onboard he asked Gabe to look at the scan of a door he found floating in space and picked up. The Nova jumped back to the TL as Gabe and Steve looked at the scans of the door.
[Gabe] That cant be right! Gabe transported the door into the back of the ship and went to scan it with his hand scanner. He took the scans and again it showed the same as the ships scans. Gabe looked at the door it opened up to a solid bulkhead going nowhere but the scans showed a unknown weak power signature compressed in subspace when you did a advanced scan.
Gabe looked and tried to get the door open but no luck and Mike was wanting to go over to theTL so The door went back into the hole and safe keeping for another day their main concern now was the TL.
Bob transported back over as Mike tried to talk Gabe into letting him go over the TL and look around.
And the only thing Gabe could think of was Simon telling him not to get hurt. Gabe told Mike no the ship wasnt cleared to board until the security drone finished it search monitor the repair drones or get some sleep. To Mike it was like teasing a kid with candy for the TL to be setting out there and he couldnt get to it. But after he seen Gabe wasnt going to give in he looked over the scans of the TL and tried to relax.

Oil & Gas/Fact & Fiction Series
Energy: To hear President Obama talk about energy, you'd think annual oil price spikes were routine and predictable. But it's another energy myth Obama peddles to avoid responsibility for high gas prices.
In February, Obama lamented these "gas price spikes that happen every year." A few days later, he talked about the need to "take control of our energy future" so we could "avoid high gas prices every single year."
"This is not the first time we've seen gas prices spike," he said in yet another speech. "It's been happening for years. Every year, about this time, gas starts spiking up and everybody starts wondering, how high is it going to go?"
And in yet another talk, he described it as "this cycle of high gas prices that happens year after year after year."
For Obama, this is a convenient excuse. After all, price spikes can't possibly be his fault, since they happen "year after year."
Instead, he says, they're the fault of a 30-year failure to adopt a national energy policy that gets the country off oil.
That's why, he argues, we have to push conservation and "clean" alternative fuels, which is the only way to stop being "held hostage to the ups and downs of world markets."
Simple, right? Except it's not true.
The historical record is clear that today's high gas prices are an anomaly, not a feature, of the U.S. energy market.
Indeed, the overall trend from the late 1940s until the end of the 20th century had been one of moderately falling gas prices. That trend was interrupted in the 1970s, when ruinous federal regulatory and economic policies drove up gasoline prices.
Once Reagan decontrolled oil markets and ended stagflation, gas prices resumed their historic decline. By 1999 gasoline was 27% cheaper, after inflation, than it was in 1948.
Despite what Obama claims, it's only been since the early-2000s that gas prices started ramping up.
And it's only been since Obama took office that we've seen prices at such sustained high levels — average monthly gasoline prices have topped $3 a gallon for the past 15 straight months.
What explains this more recent trend? One key reason is that the U.S. has been choking off our domestic supply of oil.
As the nearby chart shows, U.S. oil production peaked in 1970 and started falling after 1985. Now, despite even the gains in the past couple years, the U.S. produces 37% less oil today than it did that year.
The Heritage Foundation recently issued a comprehensive report showing that Sen. Marco Rubio's plan to instantly legalize 11.5 million illegal immigrants would add $6.3 trillion to budget deficits over the next 50 years. Heritage assumed there are 11.5 million illegals, but other estimates put the ...
Statism: Pope Francis seemed to have an economic blind spot, to say the least, when he urged more "state control" to cut global poverty Thursday. On the contrary — the biggest poverty-killer in history is free enterprise.Before we go further, let us say that we know that the pope does seem to ...
Economy: If "austerity" is such a disaster in Europe, why do most Europeans still back spending cuts? Maybe common sense isn't dead there, although the GDP is flat-lining. If you don't look too closely, stats from the past week seem to make a tidy case for bigger government. Japan has chosen ...
IBD/TIPP Poll: What many thought to be impossible might be beginning to happen because of public awareness of abortionist Kermit Gosnell's crimes: a sizeable shift in opinion away from support of abortion. The latest IBD/TIPP Poll shows that 42% of respondents who read or saw news stories on the ...

Comments about REI XX-Large Nylon Mesh Storage Sack - 33 x 16:
This works great provided you store your bag inside where bugs/mold aren't an issue.
Not only would I reccomend this to a friend, I plan on getting another two or three in different sizes to orgaize other gear.

Comments about REI XX-Large Nylon Mesh Storage Sack - 33 x 16:
Basic, no frills mesh bag that is plenty big to store your down or synthetic sleeping bag for extended periods. It's lightweight and lets air pass through so you can maintain the loft of your down bag. When storing your sleeping bags for an extended period of time, you don't want to leave them in a compression/stuff sack. That's where this mesh bag comes in. Just place the sleeping bag inside and hang it from the ceiling. Good stuff and inexpensive.

Some 53% of those who joined a recent star count failed to see more than 10 stars in the Orion constellation. That had decreased only very slightly from 54% since 2007, the Campaign to Protect Rural England and the Campaign for Dark Skies said.
Fewer than one in 10 said they could see between 21 and 30 stars, and just 2% of people had truly dark skies, seeing 31 or more stars.
The information was gathered as part of the annual Star Count survey, which was held across two weeks in January and February this year. Almost 1,000 people in different locations around the country took part. Participants were instructed to pick a clear night to count the number of stars in the constellation of Orion.
