Tires To Depend On
Helwig Auto Clinic LLC carries a selection of Cooper tires for customers in Mount Horeb, WI, Madison, WI, Barneveld, WI, and surrounding areas. We are committed to locating the right set of tires to match the individual driving needs of every customer.
Cooper Tire was started in 1914 in Akron, Ohio by two brothers-in-law, John F. Schaefer and Claude E. Hart. The in-laws began by founding a business called the M&M Manufacturing Company, which was focused on supplying tire patches, tire repair kits, and tire cement. The men purchased the Giant Tire & Rubber Company, a tire rebuilding business, the following year and moved it to Findlay, Ohio.
The Cooper name came into play in 1919 when auto parts dealer I.J. Cooper founded The Cooper Corporation, a new tire manufacturing business, also in Findlay, Ohio. In 1930, the two companies and the Falls Rubber Company merged, forming The Master Tire & Rubber Company, which became known as the Cooper Tire & Rubber Company in 1946.

According to CNN Money, foreign buyers are increasing here in the U.S.
A new Senate bill is emerging that will make it even easier for foreign buyers to take advantage of American real estate. The bill is co-sponsored by Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) and states that a U.S. Visa will be granted to international investors who agree to spend at least $500,000 on resdential real estate in the U.S. If passed, this could mean a surge in real estate sales, especially in regions like Naples, Florida and other Southwest Florida cities that have already seen an influx of international buyers.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), foreign buyers, spent $82 billion dollars buying U.S. homes in the 12 months ended in March, up 24% from a year earlier, represeting 8% of total U.S. sales.
The Senate bill would require buyers to pay cash for the homes to qualify for the new "homeowner" visa. They'd also need to pay U.S. taxes and spend at 180 days a year in the country, and can't work here or take out home-equity loans against the properties. In return, they'd get to live here for at least three years.
However, foreigners seem to have more confidence in the U.S. real estate market than Americans do. Almost half of buyers surveyed by NAR cited the profitability or safety of their investments as the main factor that persuaded them to buy. With the economic distress in Europe, it seems that people are still looking for safe havens for investing and the U.S. is perceived globally as safe.
In Southwest Florida, foreign buyers already account for 25% of residential sales. Condo sales have been surprisingly accoring to Metrostudy, a housing analytics company, and the majority of those sales are to South Americans and Canadians.
International buyer activity has been great for the Florida market. Housing starts were up nearly 20% in the three months ended Sept. 30, according to Metrostudy. Even better for homeowners, foreign sales can be very easy beacause the buyers are often affluent and buy more expensive homes. And, overwhelmingly, international buyers pay cash.

"Bilingual Education: An Introductory Reader" is therefore a welcome addition to the literature, not only for students and administrators, wishing to get an overall view of the field, but also for instructors looking for stimulating (well-founded) course material and for researchers in need of authoritative sources. Readers are offered a carefully designed guided tour through the intricacies of bilingual education, starting with a 'balanced, comprehensive and challenging set of articles' (p.viii). all of which can form the basis for further in-depth reading. These articles fulfil a number of functions, ranging from analysing and summarizing important topics, to challenging existing ideas and beliefs and providing fresh and original thinking. This volume offers a 'hands-on' approach to consideration of bilingual education, in its various forms around the world. Its special value lies not only in its interactive format, encouraging readers to investigate the issues themselves, but also in its willingness to tackle issues of linguistic and cultural human rights. Bilingual Education thus amply fulfils its 'Reader' function, promoting informed participatory debate on the relevant issues, and readers should find it an extremely useful resource-either as a starting point for research, a reference tool, or as a sound course material for professional developmentBaal News Spring 2009 Andrew Finch, Kyungpook National University (Korea) and University of Bristol

The Face:"the Ace of Spades"
The Face pulled off a front-page splash in The Sun this week with its picture of David Beckham covered in soy sauce taken from a fashion shoot.
The Beckham pictures generated media coverage in Heat, Daily Mail, Evening Standard, GMTV, Big Breakfast, Radio Five Live and The Priory. It was also the first time The Face has featured a sports personality on its cover.
Editor Johnny Davis said: "I think this is possibly the one which has had the most immediate reaction. We wanted to present him as a conquering hero coming back from the trenches. It was interesting for us having the country's number one football player pouring soy sauce over his eyes – we were thinking, crumbs, I hope he'll be OK." Davis said the mohican was Beckham's idea. He originally planned to shave it off after the shoot but he liked it so much he decided to keep it.
The Face biked the pictures to Beckham in advance but he was not given copy approval over the interview, conducted by freelance journalist Sylvia Patterson.
Although Beckham's mohican was picked up last month, there was no mention of The Face's involvement.
"I was confident we had the Ace of Spades up our sleeves and we would come out in a few weeks with the answer to the question," Davis said.

As the Oklahoma City Thunder learned last year and the Utah Jazz recently confronted, it's often difficult for small-market teams to retain All-Stars once they become unrestricted free agents. To combat that, the NBA's latest collective bargaining agreement created the Designated Veteran Player Exception (DVPE), or the so-called "supermax" contract, which allows teams to offer certain players up to 35 percent of the salary cap rather than the typical 30 percent.
While supermax deals give incumbent teams even more of a financial advantage over opposing suitors, they also come with a host of unintended consequences. Outside of a few select cases, owners may largely come to regret pushing for such a contractual mechanism in the wake of Kevin Durant's departure from OKC.
To qualify for a supermax, a player needs to have eight or nine seasons under his belt when he starts his new contract. He also must either be on his original team or have been traded while still on his rookie deal. Beyond that, the only players eligible for the supermax are those who a) are on one of the All-NBA teams in the most recent season, b) won Defensive Player of the Year either the past season or the two preceding seasons, or c) won the Most Valuable Player award in any of the previous three seasons.
That restrictive criteria narrows the player pool eligible for such a deal at any given time, as many of the All-NBA honorees, DPOYs or MVPs won't be up for new contracts or have the requisite number of years of experience. For perspective, only Russell Westbrook, James Harden, John Wall and Stephen Curry met the supermax criteria this past year. (All but Westbrook have since signed supermax deals, and Westbrook may not be far behind.)
Meanwhile, since Gordon Hayward and Paul George each missed out on an All-NBA nod, it prevented the Jazz and Indiana Pacers, respectively, from offering them supermax deals. Had either qualified for a supermax, they would have been in line for roughly $27.5 million more over the next four years (not factoring in the extra fifth year Utah or Indiana could have given them, worth north of $45 million). Would Hayward still have signed with the Boston Celtics had Utah been able to hand him more than $200 million over the next half-decade? Would the Pacers have felt pressured to trade George in advance of his 2018 free agency if he qualified for the supermax this summer? We'll never know.
Are supermaxes backfiring?
Owners are quickly realizing that supermax contracts present a new set of unexpected problems.
In mid-February, Bleacher Report's Ric Bucher reported Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive was "uncertain" about whether he'd be willing to offer DeMarcus Cousins a $200 million extension. Less than 72 hours later, the Kings opted to ship Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans for a pupu platter including Buddy Hield, a top-three-protected 2017 first-round pick and salary filler. The Chicago Bulls went through the same song and dance with Jimmy Butler, according to Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago, before deciding to trade him and the No. 16 pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2017 draft for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and the No. 7 pick.
Why would the Kings and Bulls be so reluctant to make long-term commitments to multitime All-Stars such as Cousins and Butler? As ESPN.com's Kevin Pelton noted in January, "While truly elite superstars will still be undervalued even at 35 percent of the cap, second-tier stars like Cousins will no longer provide as much additional value."
Had supermax contracts been in place since the 2005 CBA, Pelton determined only three of the eligible 14 players—LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki and Chauncey Billups—would have returned positive value on such deals. Three others—Carmelo Anthony, Pau Gasol and Dwyane Wade—would "have been fairly paid at 30 percent of the cap and slightly overpaid at 35 percent," according to Pelton. The remaining eight "would have been mistakes ranging from merely bad to ruinous," he wrote.
Injuries undermined the likes of Elton Brand (Achilles and shoulder), Amar'e Stoudemire (knees) and Yao Ming (foot), while Gilbert Arenas sewed the seeds of his own professional demise by bringing guns into the Washington Wizards' locker room and threatening a teammate. Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson remained integral parts of their respective squads, but none produced at a level meriting anything close to a supermax contract.
Where might Butler, George and Cousins have fallen along that spectrum? Historical precedent and probability suggests only one of the three (at most) would have lived up to a supermax contract. Team construction also plays a huge role in whether such deals are sound investments, and in all three of their cases, the answer was a resounding no.
The Pacers and Bulls were each Eastern Conference contenders earlier in George and Butler's careers, but both fell off the map in recent seasons as the cores of those teams disintegrated. Pace-and-space proved to be the foil to Roy Hibbert's dominant verticality. Derrick Rose was never the same after tearing his ACL during the 2012 playoffs. When George broke his leg in a 2014 Team USA scrimmage, it spelled an end to that iteration of the Pacers. The Bulls rebooted soon thereafter, shipping Rose to the New York Knicks and allowing Joakim Noah to walk in free agency.
The Kings, meanwhile, found themselves mired in dysfunction for much of Cousins' tenure in Sacramento, undermining whatever progress they'd make. From a rotating series of coaches (Keith Smart to Mike Malone to Ty Corbin to George Karl to Dave Joerger) to an internal front office power struggle that caused then-general manager Pete D'Alessandro to flee to the Denver Nuggets, chaos reigned for the Vivek Ranadive-owned Kings. Following D'Alessandro's departure, the Philadelphia 76ers ransacked new GM Vlade Divac, agreeing to absorb the contracts of Carl Landry and Jason Thompson for future draft considerations that have already paid dividends.
The Pacers, Bulls and Kings therefore each likely realized that with or without their respective stars, they had no plausible route to championship contention. Without any other All-Star-caliber talent on the roster, all three lacked the strong complementary cast needed to make a supermax investment worthwhile. Kickstarting a rebuild by trading George, Butler and Cousins was a wise play for each, even though all three received relatively underwhelming packages in return.
Will supermaxes kill the Big Three model?
Given salary-cap constraints, it's damn near impossible to construct a cohesive, championship-caliber team around three max-contract players without running into exorbitant luxury-tax bills. The Big Three-led Miami Heat hemorrhaged its complementary cast throughout LeBron James' four-year tenure with the team. The Los Angeles Clippers ran into the same issues while building around Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. James' Cavaliers are currently projected to pay a whopping $78.2 million in taxes this upcoming season after signing Derrick Rose to a one-year, veteran's minimum deal, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst, which explains why they've been attempting to salary-dump Iman Shumpert for much of the summer.
Supermax contracts only further complicate matters. With one player gobbling up 35 percent of a team's cap space, teams with three max-contract players have few viable options of acquiring additional talent beyond the mid-level exception. Even if a team already has those players on its roster—and is thus allowed to exceed the salary cap to re-sign them via Bird rights—it's prohibitively expensive to build around someone on a supermax contract.
With Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr. all now signed to max or supermax contracts, the Wizards are next in line to prove that point. When Wall's supermax deal kicks in during the 2019-20 season, Washington will have more than $92 million tied up on those three alone. Add in the final year of Ian Mahinmi's ghastly four-year, $64 million contract ($15.45 million), and the Wizards have nearly $107.6 million in guaranteed salary on their books that season with only four players under contract. With the cap tentatively projected to be $108 million that season, per RealGM, the Wizards will have no available cap space after factoring in incomplete roster charges. If Marcin Gortat or Markieff Morris depart in free agency that summer, Washington will only be able to replace them with players signed via cap exceptions.
Barring another unexpected leap in the salary cap, supermax deals will only grow more painful as each season progresses. Based the salary-cap estimates from RealGM, supermax deals signed this summer will jump from consuming 35.0 percent of a team's cap space next year to 37.7 percent in 2022-23.

The Golden State Warriors didn't bat an eye before offering Curry a supermax, as they have their core of the future already in place with Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green alongside him. If they keep all four on their roster beyond 2020, however, they'll be facing unprecedented luxury-tax bills. The current CBA all but guarantees the Dubs will have to part ways with either Thompson or Green (likely the former) within the next three years.
Few teams have the riches of Golden State, both in terms of talent and owners willing to delve that deep into the luxury tax. As such, the supermax may wind up doing more harm than good in terms of helping teams build championship contenders around All-NBA-caliber talent.
Who's worth a supermax?
That begs the question: Which players may wind up returning positive value on a supermax?
Using a metric called "consensus plus-minus," which draws upon real plus-minus, box plus/minus, win shares and player efficiency rating, Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight evaluated the caliber of top players on average championship-winning teams and divided them into "alphas" (the best player), "betas" (the second-best player) and "gammas" (the third-best player). Based on that metric, only six players project as alphas during the 2017-18 campaign: Curry, Westbrook, Harden, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant. While a career-altering injury could affect the trajectory of their long-term outlook, all six would be relatively safe bets for a supermax (if eligible).
Butler and Cousins slotted in as betas, according to Silver, while George fell between DeMar DeRozan and Mike Conley in the gammas category. Wall likewise projects as a gamma, as do Beal and Porter. Drastic internal improvement could cause those projections to fall short—as is, Butler wasn't far off from alpha territory already—but second- and third-tier players such as these will have a far more difficult time returning positive value on a supermax, especially if they aren't already surrounded by the requisite All-Star talent.
Who might be next? Anthony Davis looms large as a glaring supermax question mark in a few years' time. While his talent suggests he'd be a no-brainer for such a deal, his lengthy injury history casts doubt on whether he'd live up to that price point. If Cousins departs as a free agent next summer,the New Orleans Pelicans will also be restricted in their ability to bring in more top-tier talent given Jrue Holiday's enormous new five-year, $126 million contract.
Giannis Antetokounmpo appears to be a safe bet for a supermax contract in the early 2020s—regardless of whether he develops a three-point stroke—as does Karl-Anthony Towns. Silver's consensus plus-minus metric suggests only a half-dozen or so players at any one time will be worth that hefty of an investment, though. That means teams with players who qualify for a supermax (such as Wall) may be forced to overpay those stars or likely lose them in free agency.
Once a few supermax contracts go south, owners may regret ever lobbying for them in the first place.

North and South Central CSCs Find New Opportunity for Collaboration
As the new year begins, the North Central Climate Science Center has a number of exciting changes to prepare for. From their inception, each of the eight DOI Climate Science Centers (CSCs) receives guidance from a regional Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC). These committees provide counsel on the resource management and decision-making contexts, capabilities, and challenges that require regional scientific support, and provide feedback concerning how effectively CSC products meet the needs of stakeholders.
The North Central Climate Science Center's SAC is currently chaired by Warren Day from the USGS Southwest Regional Office. Warren has served as the Chair of the North Central SAC since it started in 2012; where he has consistently provided sage advice and championed the integration of climate science and land management issues. However, in 2015, Warren will be transitioning from his current role into a research position. His service has been much appreciated and very helpful to the NC CSC.

Last night, an impromptu society was created.
to be deliberate
and write together and write
4 of us.
we gave ourselves an assignment. 30 minutes to write about personal revolution. Then we have to read our brainflowspilling to one another. Here is what we wrote:
a cup filled not just with quarters
but ideas
the chip-toothed smile and unkempt beard
of the forgotten romanticism found in
the death-breath words of a scot-stained
street corner half-drunk half-prophet
the opposite of your binary bile:
ones and zeroes that murder tangible tangibility
destroy rebuild repeat
the mantra of a society solely concerned with cautionary procession
"cash, coin & modernization" give way to the following
for the past 6 months
I've toyed with the concept of
packing my bags
and moving to mid-nineteenth century
digital give way to analog
show me the hand-filled soil of your soul
not some god-dammed "about me" section
[and let me say that I hate that last line
because lately all I've been referring to in my writings is pop-culture]
but give me the hearts found
the squeaky floor of a church
collapsing because
there is weight in
and wanting to be immersed in the sights smells sounds and textures
involved in the creation of the book
i just saw, smelled, heard and felt
in the used book store
there's revolution in regression
my heart is an acetate
with one or two good plays
before it turns to shit
and side A
is almost over...
4 years now, and i won't go back.
not because I can't.
but because i'm afraid it's true.
that if i saw it for what it really is
i would be just as afraid as she is daily,
wondering "why am i here?"
And today, i can't admit that fear.
well...i could, but I wont.
Because every choice, decision, step I have made
has countered the hysteria that is always sitting safely
between my spleen and my dreams
I work against that fear
on paper.
Ending wars, raising up revolutionaries
(what happens when revolutions get tired of themselves? Hysteria_
and sometimes that's what it feels like.
My voice taught itself to stop equipping
but that doesn't mean it doesn't when no one is listening
And that's the worst part of all.
What happens when we stop listening?
Nothing happens & no one moves.
[most days i wish for Rocking chairs and farmland & solitude what does that make me?]
By the day I stand from crawling novelty, I welcome the suited-salesmen into my crib.
By my dropping voice, I have amassed an empire of plastic, wires, and miniature idols of the future sale: tiny trucks, tiny guns, tiny women in felt clothes.
By my 16th year, I am the pin-up dream, the drooling banquet of consumption hunger in cunning control of the father figure mother told her mortgage holder, an added chain to the already imprisoned aging children thrown into a bag of wrinkles, running river liars, and comfort high-hedge whisperers.
By my waking years
the run-slows-to-walk-stop-and-look at my feet for the first time. I have already bought my weight in blood, the gentle stream slow sloping guided tour to lethal leisure mockingbird murder I gasp at the first light, the hinted ache 'this is not right' and find in my hand a hammer made of flesh and culture jammer and gas and fire and fear and ancient warnings hard to hear and climb the temple stairs to turn over tables and chairs
gas the drapes and light the base and promise promise make a promise to something.
Song bird sing Aubade
Change searching
you say different
with what army? warning. through
a great unbalance
song bird sing . . .
for what the eyes have seen
a place in displacement
song bird sing
lost looking for place
to get lost
song bird sing
for now the cries.

Retired Servicemen Claim Alien Visitation Over Nuclear Installations
Retired Airmen Announce Alien
Visitation Over Nuclear Missile Silos
I'm sure if any of you readers, my earliest fans, know me personally then it will come as no surprise that I would cover a story like this. There is at least a 65-year-old tradition of UFO sightings, hunting and speculation in this country, since the famous Roswell, New Mexico sensation. As to a historical, international phenomenon, the possibility exists that sightings have been reported and painted around the world for centuries or millenium.
Recently as Monday, September 27, 2010, a press conference was held at the National Press Club in Washington, called by an avid SETI researcher and UFO-logist, Robert Hastings. Hastings collected a group of over 120 retired Air Force pilots, captains, base commanders as well as other servicemen to testify as to their sightings, experiences and encounters of unexplained objects moving through the sky. Hastings pitched the event as providing conclusive proof of the existence of ETs. It must have been a slow news day in Washington as the story was covered live by CNN, ABC and CBS.
Originally I believed the hype was driven by some official government position, and that maybe President Obama would reveal that he has indeed been meeting with aliens in private as has our government for decades. But alas, that is not the case. The story officially died and my comments will be little more than a foot note. But I also believe that if Hastings has achieved anything it is that he has brought more credible witnesses and a larger body of observations by experienced military personel into the equation, as opposed to the thousands of civilian testimonies which have somehow always eluded the quality of absolute truth.
In fact, there was no coinciding announcement from the White House--not even a comment. No press follow up, except ABC called the Air Force to find their official position on the matter which is also posted on the Air Force web site.
For years and two generations, pulp, and crime fiction magazines have pandered to the fans of the fantastical and science fiction, almost to the point of over-exposure. To some extent a great bit of stigma has been assigned to alleged witnesses. There is a special crack-pot mentality reserved for those who believe they have been abducted by aliens.
I have observed some bloggers musings that the new testimonies about UFO's is a boring non-story lacking the solid evidence: such as producing an actual ET or the alien artifact of an extra-terrestrial being. I also assume the fact that actual earth-born technology can be so sophisticated at times, coupled with the amazing CGI effects produced by the film and television industry that a majority of people's imagination is deadened. Everyone, in the press perhaps, is a skeptic from Missouri, the Show Me state.

General Information for Auditioning at CCP
(Check current audition information- the following may vary from one director to another.)
Appointments are usually not necessary. When you arrive at the Firehouse Theater, you will be asked to fill out an audition form. It will ask for your contact information, your conflicts during the rehearsal and performance period (please check those ahead of time, and bring the dates with you), your previous theater experience (if any) and if you are auditioning for any role, or a specific role. After your form is complete, you will give it to the stage manager. The stage manager will call in auditioners one at a time, or in small groups.
Most likely the director will have you sing first if you are auditioning for a MUSICAL. Prepare an audition song ahead of time– you will need to bring sheet music with you. The library has some musical theater books, you can buy sheet music online or at music stores, or if you know a piano teacher or choir director, they may have music you can borrow. You will sing with a piano accompanist. This is much different from singing along to a CD. You will do much better and have more confidence if you can practice with piano music ahead of time. For children's shows, the director will be looking to see if you speak up, show some personality, and can sing on key. He is used to working with children and isn't expecting perfection. A good choice of a song for Aladdin, for example, would be any Disney song, or a song from a lighter musical.
If there is a dance audition, you will be taught a few dance steps with a small group of auditioners. After rehearsing the steps a few times, you will perform the dance steps for the director, in your group. Wear shoes that you can dance in- not flip flops.
The article below (by Tammy Hyde) has good information for anyone auditioning:
I want to audition, but…..
Auditioning for a community theater show can be a terrifying experience for those doing it for the first time. However, with some preparation and knowledge of the show, you can be confident that you'll be 'treading the boards' soon. Auditioning for musicals and 'straight' shows differ somewhat. However, the key to a successful audition for both is research and preparation.
It is absolutely critical that you know the musical or play for which you are auditioning. Get a copy and read it. Listen to the music. Know before you go to the audition what roles you might be right for and, in the case of musicals, whether the songs are in a range that you can perform well. If it is possible to speak to the theater rep or even the director to get additional information, do so. Will an accompanist be provided by the theater and/or is taped music acceptable? Will auditioners be reading from the play script or will an audition piece be expected?
Just showing up at the audition isn't going to get you a role (unless of course you're a male between 18 and 40!). You need to prepare for the specific audition you are attending. If you have done your research, you already know that there might be a role for you in the show. Most audition notices specify what the director expects from those auditioning. The notice might indicate that you will sing 16 bars of a song you select and/or that you will sing songs from the show. The notice might indicate that you should prepare an audition piece and/or read from the script.
When selecting audition songs and pieces, always select a piece in your age and range that will make your acting and vocal talents shine. The audition is not the time to 'stretch' your voice or your talents. It is strongly suggested that you select from a contemporary play and not a book of monologues or original work. A good piece is between one and two minutes long. Although much of the current literature available might be controversial or have explicit language, these are not appropriate as audition pieces. This IS community theater and children might be present at the audition. Beware of works that may be too challenging to showcase you best (Shakespeare for instance). If you are auditioning for a comedy, do something light and upbeat but don't try to get the director rolling in the aisles. He won't. If the show is a heavy drama, choose a piece that will reflect your abilities in that genre.
When selecting a song (you should always have more than one prepared), choose a number that is YOU. Good selections come from hit musicals but there are only so many times directors want to hear Memory from Cats and Tomorrow from Annie. Also, popular songs like these might be sung by someone auditioning right before you do. Unusual is good but not TOO unusual. The key to selecting a good audition number is choosing one that showcases your vocal range and ability to 'sell' the song. During your research, you should have found out if an accompanist will be provided at the auditions. If so, make sure you take the sheet music with you to the audition. If taped music is permissible, take not only the tape or CD but also the tape or CD player you will need. Don't rely on batteries, plug it in.
At the Audition
Remember that your audition starts the minute you walk into the theater. The stage manager or casting director will be watching even before you go on stage. Always be professional and polite…to everyone. The guy who looks like the janitor may in fact be the musical director. Dress appropriately. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that will allow you to move on stage. No flip-flops, boots, or clogs. This is especially important at musical auditions where dance moves may be required to determine your ability to learn choreography. You don't have to wear dance togs, but loose-fitting slacks and shirts and flat, flexible shoes are a must. Look your best. The auditions may be taped and/or a digital photo of you may be taken to help the director remember those auditioning.
It is advisable to take a typed list of your theater experiences with you. This list could be in the form of a theater resume which can simply be attached to an audition form. Taking a photo with you and attaching it to the audition form can be helpful in allowing the director to recognize you during casting. When completing your audition form, be honest regarding your desire to play specific roles. If you don't want to be cast in any role but X, say so! Most audition forms ask for you to list rehearsal conflicts. Again, be honest. Some directors will create a rehearsal schedule around conflicts of performers, some won't. Conflicts during tech week (the week before opening night) and, of course, during the run are stoppers for most directors.
If you are permitted to be in the auditorium while others are auditioning, sit quietly and be respectful. Don't talk and, definitely, don't comment on others' auditions. It's ok to ask the director some questions regarding the scene you've been asked to do. You might also ask if you can take a moment to read over the scene you're about to perform. Don't leave until the director releases you and don't ask if it's ok if you leave. He'll let you know when he's finished.
With research and preparation for your audition, you will be confident in your performance and that makes a big difference in who does and does not get cast. Pick a song and an audition piece and start practicing. We'll see you on stage soon.
(Note: Some of the following recommendations are from Next!: Auditions for the Musical Theatre a book by Steven M. Alper)
The theatrical trade papers are the best place to look (Backstage and The Hollywood Reporter). However, we live in a small town pretty much in the middle of nowhere, so the local newspapers will have to do. Theatres buy advertising or send press releases to the Arts and Leisure sections of the papers well in advance of auditions indicating dates, times, and requirements for auditions. If all else fails, call the theaters directly and ask what they have coming up. Get on mailing lists of local theaters too.
Who really knows?
A song's popularity is fleeting at best. A generic recommendation for a song is never as good as picking a specific song for a specific audition.
Unless specifically requested not to, choosing a song from the show and a character you're auditioning for is never wrong.
If you're asked not to sing from the show however, sing something that is:
a. Appropriate to the character for which you are auditioning
b. Appropriate to the show
c. Appropriate to the style and/or time period of the show
d. Connected with the show and or role in some way, AND shows off your talents to your best advantage
This shows the director you know the show and you know your strengths too. Different
show, same musician, for instance. (Godspell and Pippin)
SPECIAL HINT: Sing something different, something that isn't likely to be sung by everyone else auditioning for he same part as you.
Well, there's no real hard and fast rule here either but here are some suggestions.
a. Warm up before the audition. Keep your voice loose. Your voice is a muscle. Don't pull it.
b. Don't sing out of your range. Besides, you'll probably sound bad!
c. Try to avoid belting. It's a killer on the cords.
d. Try not to let the performance of the character overwhelm your voice. Try not to scream or shriek or cry. At least not for extended periods.
It does depend of the medium, but in theatre, you should enter the audition space as yourself, oozing charm and charisma. You'll need to demonstrate though the ability to take on the character when performing. If it's a busy audition (lots of folks but very little time), you better demonstrate the ability to do the character as soon as you get on stage!

I was in Leeds on Saturday with my sister, causally taking fashion photos for my media coursework when we heard a large chant coming from the next street on. We peeped our heads around the corner and discovered what was the Leeds Women's March. I had no idea one was happening in my city, I was aware the successful event was going to occur in the American capital but didn't realise I myself would be able to join in. Naturally, I had my camera with me so I got snapping to capture this memorable moment. My sister and I joined the march with no previous experience of a political protest. It felt so empowering. Even though people felt anger, there was so much positive energy. Everyone was so lovely. It was an amazing experience. I also loved the diversity of gender, age and race. It wasn't just a place to protest women's rights. I saw many signs against Islamophobia, homophobia and signs with just general messages of acceptance. These people were coming together as one big loving unity, and it was beautiful. I think that this acts as an example of how we should live our day to day lives. We need to accept everybody in society. Even Trump. We need to accept that he does have different views than us, and that we believe some of the views he has are damaging. We need to unite as a society, to educate people on acceptance and understanding, standing together against the views we don't believe in, and letting those in power know how we feel.

Has anyone found any connection between liver cirrhosis and h. pylori?
- Asked

- 30 June 2015
- Topics
- helicobacter pylori infection, cirrhosis, liver cirrhosis, liver
Responses (1)
H. pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium found in the stomach, which (along with acid secretion) damages stomach and duodenal tissue, causing inflammation and peptic ulcers.
There is significant association between H. pylori infection and PHG (portal hypertensive gastropathy) in cirrhotic
patients which is also related to severity of PHG. Thus, H.(Heliobacter) pylori needs to be eradicated in cirrhotic patients with PHG. Source: annalsgastro dot gr
In another study, the significantly high prevalence of H. pylori on 153 cirrhotic patients was at the rate of 76.5%. The 1010 blood donors from the same area had a 41.8% infection rate of H. pylori. The rate of infection was higher in patients over 40 years of age, in patients with previous hospital admissions and those having had upper GI endoscopies due to peptic ulcers. The H. pylori infections were not associated with the cirrhosis. Source: link dot springer dot com
Per another study: In summary, from the clinical point of view, some evidence suggests that Helicobacter pylori infection might be relevant in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (a disease in which the functioning of the brain is affected by some agent or condition such as viral infection or toxins in the blood) in cirrhosis. The data being generated with respect to a direct hepatotoxicity (acting directly on the liver in a toxic way) are, at present, stimulating but only speculative. pubmed dot gov
In plain language, no direct connection or problem has been proven between H. pylori and cirrhosis of the liver.

The WWE suspended Roman Reigns for 30 days on June 21 after his first violation of the WWE Wellness Policy. According to the latest WWE rumors, there are already storyline plans for Reigns' return and it will be about getting redemption.
In the latest edition of Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins cut a promo that blasted Reigns for his lack of judgment. However, it did not stop the WWE in booking him in the main event of Battleground against WWE champion Dean Ambrose and Rollins.
ALSO READ: WWE Rumors: Vince McMahon to give Breezango a makeover; Is a push coming their way?
According to PW Torch (h/t Daily DDT), the current plan for Reigns' return is a "redemption story." It will reportedly tell the people how the suspension affected the former champion's morale. The hope is that Reigns struggling to get his mojo back will make him a sympathetic babyface as the WWE tries to get him over again.
The closest story relating to Reigns that has been used in the past is with Jeff Hardy. The Charismatic Enigma has a long history of drug addiction and his climb to the top in the late 2000s was a great story. However, Hardy has natural charisma while Reigns has not connected to the fans very well.
It will take more time for the 31-year-old to regain the WWE title since the company does not want the mainstream media to think that they reward Wellness Policy violators. Nonetheless, Reigns will live with the notion that he was busted while he's the champion.
ALSO READ: WWE Rumors: Kota Ibushi winning the WWE Cruiserweight Classic?
In addition to the shoot-like promo by Rollins, the WWE reportedly made Reigns apologize to all the people in the locker room. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Wrestle Zone), Triple H was the one who ordered the three-time champion to do it.
The apology received mixed reactions from the locker room with people saying that it was unnecessary while others think it was the right thing to do. Reigns will also lose approximately $100,000 because of his suspension.

MEETING POSTPONED – Opportunity to Ask for a Playground at 75 Howard!
|August 19, 2013
|Posted by jamie under Kids, Meetings, Open Spaces
Comments off
Update as of August 26, 2013:
Last week, I invited you to a community meeting to be held this Wednesday, August 28, to discuss programming the triangle lot at Spear, Steuart and the Embarcadero, in front of the proposed development at 75 Howard. Our team has been hard at work developing ideas and options for potential family-friendly, community-serving open space at this site.
Unfortunately, we have just learned that we need to have additional information in hand and further discussions with the City, the owner of the triangle lot. As we want to have a meaningful and comprehensive community discussion about the site, we need to postpone this Wednesday's meeting.
I will notify you about the rescheduled meeting when we have the information in hand and can thoughtfully move forward. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience I have caused you by announcing this postponement so close to the meeting date.
Alex Clemens on behalf of the 75 Howard team
Stay tuned!
Original Posting (with some strikethroughs):
With over 600 kids spending their weekdays in daycare centers South of Market and east of 2nd Street in the Rincon neighborhood, not even starting to consider the over 300 kids who LIVE in condo towers near the Bay Bridge, we sure could use a playground with great sunlight and higher air quality than what can be found near the Bay Bridge and accompanying ramps. Well, our one-time opportunity for a GREAT location for a playground happens on *** NEWS ON AUGUST 26, 2013 – MEETING POSTPONED
August 28th at 6pm at the Embarcadero YMCA when The Paramount Group hosts a community meeting to ask what the community wants/NEEDS for open space purposes on the "triangle lot" at the southwest corner of Howard Street and The Embarcadero.
Please come in support of all of those kids who spend every weekday in the nearby Marin Day School, Bright Horizons, and Embarcadero YMCA who won't be there to speak for themselves. Please come to this August 28th meeting and let The Paramount Group know that the BEST use of that triangle lot is turning it into a playground. With all of this new housing in Rincon, the next natural life cycle step for the young couples moving into the neighborhood is to have children. Even without the hundreds of kids here today and coming soon, the daycare centers where office workers drop off their kids while they go to work nearby will provide an endless supply of 2-7 year olds desperate for some healthy sunshine and space to run around and socialize. But they need YOU to put this August 28th meeting in your calendar and to show up to ask for a playground!
Here is the announcement (PDF File to print and post in your building!):
The Paramount Group, project sponsor of the proposed residential building at 75 Howard, is holding a community meeting next week. The meeting is designed to seek community input on potential uses for the permanently funded open space on the "triangle lot" bounded by Howard, Steuart and The Embarcadero. Please see the attached flyer for more details.
We hope you'll add your voice to the conversation, as the project sponsor seeks to build open space that is reflective of community desires. Should consensus be reached at this meeting, that consensus will constitute the design for the triangle lot.
Feel free to circulate this document to other interested parties, as all neighbors are welcome.
We hope to see you on Wednesday the 28th from 6pm-8pm at the Embarcadero YMCA.
– Alex Clemens

Azusa Pacific takes out Redlands
Kim struck out six in the opener, firing a complete-game
AZUSA, Calif. -- Azusa Pacific picked up where last year's incredible season-ending run left off, rallying twice for come-from-behind wins in 4-2, 3-1 sweep against No. 18-ranked Redlands Friday night.
Rita Kim struck out six in the opener, firing a complete-game in the circle while going two-for-three at the plate with the game-winning RBI. In the nightcap, Taryn Devich picked up the complete-game win, scattering six hits and an unearned run with a pair of strikeouts.
Newcomer Katrine Oviedo was two-for-two, and she scored the winning run in the second game, and the Cougars used a pair of Bulldog errors to allow Rachel Miller and Olivia Wilcox to hit back-to-back sacrifice flies in the fifth inning to take the lead for good.
Azusa Pacific opens the campaign with a 2-0 record, while Redlands is now 0-2 to start the year.

We have now completed the first phase of the route optimisation module and will be rolling out the functionality this evening. In this phase you can enter in a number of postcodes in any order and choose the start and end locations.
There are 2 possible scenarios to choose from.
[1] The start and end locations are the same and therefore the route is circular
[2] The start and end locations are different and therefore the route is linear / one way.
Once you tell it what type of route you require, the application will provide you with the shortest route.
During tests we have found the accuracy to be around 97% and 100 locations takes less that 10 seconds to calculate and report back the results.
See the following screenshot for an example (click on the image to zoom in):-
How do you want to use this functionality? Let us know and we will see if we can help.

Wheezer and Squeezer perform live in The Sound Room at WEEU, 830 AM in Reading, PA. Set includes "Bourrees 3 Temps" at 0:00, "Hanter Dro" at 3:39, and "Port William Apple Knoll" at 9:01.
Jeremiah McLane and Timothy Cummings are a high-powered, Vermont-based duo who share music deeply rooted in the traditional dance repertoire of Northern Europe and North America. Wielding an accordion and bagpipes (and often whistles and piano), they create a beguiling blend which utterly subverts the common stereotypes of their Old World instruments. McLane and Cummings —affectionately nicknamed "Wheezer & Squeezer"— draw from a broad repertoire that includes bourrées from Central France, gavottes from Brittany in Northwestern France, dance tunes from the Scottish Border region, and original compositions reflecting North American influences. This rare, captivating duo commands both feet and spirits to dance!

Making arrangements to see your child is probably a heartbreaking task, especially when you have to fight for the right to see him or her. If you are a parent who doesn't live with your children, having to make those plans might be a normal part of life for you. Some parent have a very difficult time planning visitations with their child because of the distance between them. In that case, it is sometimes necessary to get creative with the plans to remain a part of the child's life.
Understanding child custody laws in Texas
When you have a child and aren't with the child's other parent any longer, you will likely need to address child custody matters. In Texas, child custody is known as conservatorship. There are two ways that conservatorship can be established. The first is through a parenting plan that you and your child's other parent come up with and file with the court. The second is that the court makes the decision without having a parenting plan filed.
Dividing assets and debts is necessary but can be complicated
People who have acquired assets and debts during the course of a marriage must figure out how those will be divided if the marriage ends. That isn't always easy because of the manner in which some items might vary in value. The property division process can also be complicated by the need to ensure that debts are divided in an appropriate manner.
Do grandparents have a right to summer vacation time?
There is nothing specific in the current Texas family code that allows grandparents to have summer vacation time with the children. However, it you are petitioning for grandparents' rights in order to get access to your grandchildren, you may be able to ask for a certain amount of time in the summer as part of the visitation arrangement.


text: Wills can be of various degrees of complexity and can be utilized to achieve a wide range of family and tax objectives. If a will provides for the outright distribution of assets, it is sometimes characterized as a simple will. Even a simple will has advantages over proceeding without a will. You should always review your goals with a trusted adviser like the attorneys at Kelly & Kelly P.C. to ensure the best strategy for you.

This Kiss
Fuuko Kirisawa blinked once. Then twice. What was going on? She felt out of breath, looking at the person standing before her. He showed no trace of emotion as he gazed back at her. Habit had forced him to do so. What did he just do? Even if he wanted to ram his head against the wall to make a vain attempt to have amnesia, he couldn't make himself move. He just thought of how unusually beautiful she was, even if her hair was a tad unkempt and her clothes were certainly not suited for a girl. She was unusual, indeed. She almost resembled a boy, but her-ahem- assets said otherwise. And before he could stop himself, he leaned toward her once again, holding her closer to himself. She felt confused at first. But this was happening. And she couldn't stop it. She couldn't bring herself to protest against his actions. She didn't want to. She muttered an almost unheard "Mi-chan…" before their lips met. They were right in the middle of the street.
But it felt just right.

Is Santa Clause a Conspiracy?
By 12/11/2009 05:59:00
Is the myth of Santa Clause a conspiracy?
After a certain age we all understand Santa Clause is only a childhood mythical character and that his existence depends entirely on many people lying. Is that a conspiracy; many people knowingly lying?
My dictionary says a conspiracy is: combining for evil purpose. So I guess the question hinges on whether Santa Clause has an evil purpose. Most would answer no. But then some, who are more environmentally aware know that Santa Clause and buying presents has become intertwined into a commercially obligatory ritual, where good feelings are directly connected to consumerism. You know, that mindless activity of digging up raw materials, applying energy to the manufacture of shinny, colorful trinkets, then burying them in the landfill some short time later when our interest fades. That might qualify as evil.
Perhaps, even though most would not think Santa Clause is evil, we can still examine this question of how the myth of Santa Clause is maintained and relate it to how a real, evil conspiracy sometimes works.
We might even unravel, how we are sometimes witting or unwitting participants in conspiracies and willingly contribute support to a conspiracy, hinging entirely upon our belief of it being good or evil. We sometimes knowingly lie or overlook a lie if the reason is to support 'good.'
How is the myth of Santa Clause maintained? By lying. Even if you argue that the myth is for 'good' and not a conspiracy, it may still be useful to see how the lie works.
Perhaps we could learn most from examining what happens when a child begins to be suspicious that Santa Clause is a lie? His first thought might be, how many people including my parents would have to be in on the lie. Do they all get together at secret meetings and agree to lie to him? How are so many people in on the lie? Those questions might remain a mystery even after he proves to himself, it is a lie. But later on he is able to see the mechanisms at work and how they apply to even more serious subjects. Or even, real conspiracies, the ones that are evil.
But lets examine the dynamics of the Santa Clause myth and how a child might act upon his suspicions?
Take the visit to the Mall where children meet Santa Clause. The child, perhaps a little more mature than his friends, considers what his older brother might have been telling him, that Santa's beard is fake and if you were to pull on it while sitting on Santa's lap, you will expose the lie. He thus has a plan to test his theory. But will he actually follow through and test his theory when it comes time? Many things could happen and he contemplates his actions. Is he ready to accept the consequences?
Would he simply prefer not dealing with the consequences? What if the beard is fake and his fantasy is shattered? Would he still pull on Santa's beard knowing that? And then there's the consequences of public exposure. It could prove to be a myth or he might simply make a fool of himself. Both could be embarrassing. What will the parents think when he exposes the myth to all the other children? They wouldn't like him to do that. Or what if it is a real beard and he will be seen as a fool for believing it was fake.
All three outcomes might not produce good results. Only the truth will suffer by his doing nothing, and what is the truth worth in this case? Perhaps it's not worth it and he simply keeps his thought of Santa being a myth to himself or perhaps he maintains his own previous belief in the myth.
In this case of being too worried about the consequences to test the beard and then maintaining his own belief, the kid convinces himself Santa is real without the test because there are other obvious conclusions. His parents would not lie to him and certainly no one would put themselves in such a situation as to play Santa when in fact they are not. That would be a fraud. And how are so many unrelated people in on this lie? Therefore Santa must be real. No test needed.
Looking further into this 'combining for good' to support the Santa Clause myth and maintenance of it's matrix of lies, another possibility exist and might even add to our understanding of how the world really works.
Let's say this kid, about to sit on Santa's lap, is highly suspicious and he thinks Santa is fake. But instead of being obvious he inconspicuously first feels Santa's tummy and notices it's more like a pillow than flesh. He looks carefully at the beard while Santa asks him what he wants for Christmas, and notices it is fake. So, instead of pulling Santa's beard, and bringing about all those unpleasant consequences of exposure, he whispers in Santa's ear, "If you give me a double helping of candy I won't pull your beard."
Embarrassed at first Santa grasps the situation and gives the kid an extra helping of candy, quickly sending him on his way. Some day this kid will be a powerful person with the ability to use knowledge to his advantage. To his personal advantage perhaps. Naturally in this case he justifies his actions by not wanting to hurt the feelings of those children who believe in Santa Clause but he may as well profit from his knowledge. Essentially he has learned to use blackmail to gain more personal power for himself.
There are a range of personalities that might develop from this childhood transition from belief in Santa. Another is the sycophant or minion, a person who is more than ready to back up and even lie for his superiors. And those superiors sometimes turn out to be the Santa blackmailer. And the combination make a powerful duo and feed off each other. Perhaps you've become aware of how effective this is in your work place or read about it in the news.
What do we learn from this? We learn that at an early age dealing with life is different for different people. And day to day we might be part of conspiracies if we knowingly support lies for evil purposes. But what if we neither understand they are lies or that they are for evil purpose? Are we still supporting a conspiracy? It would depend upon the knowledge we have about the lie. But as we've seen above, there are many mechanisms that prevent or help us rationalize our own lack of investigation into whether we are supporting truth or lie and good or evil. And that means many bad things continue to receive support because, out of fear or embarrassment, we fail to investigate. Or in the worse case we even profit from them.
