Birdstone has Grindstone rising
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Birdstone's Belmont Stakes win on June 5 will be most famous for ending Smarty Jones's Triple Crown bid and his unbeaten record. But it was also a redemptive moment.
Birdstone, one of the nation's top juveniles last year, had been lackluster this spring. His Belmont victory not only restored a measure of his success but also brought some to his sire, Grindstone, the 1996 Kentucky Derby winner, whose most recent book of mares had been buoyed by Birdstone's performances as a juvenile.
Grindstone, who is 11 and stands at Overbrook Farm in Lexington for $7,500, has been a sentimental favorite among Kentuckians ever since he won the Derby for Overbrook's popular late owner, W. T. Young. But from a commercial standpoint, he needed a big runner to draw breeders' attention in a highly competitive stallion market, and he didn't get that runner until Birdstone came along. Last year, before Birdstone shot to the front of the juvenile division by winning the Champagne Stakes, Grindstone bred only 36 mares. In 2004, after Birdstone closed out his 2-year-old season, bookings to Grindstone rose to more than 90 mares.
Will Birdstone's return to prominence in the Belmont help keep that momentum going next season? Ric Waldman, Overbrook's manager of stallion operations, hopes that breeders watching Birdstone's relentless stretch run at Belmont were reminded, as he was, of Grindstone's Derby, when the Unbridled colt wore down Cavonnier and just nipped him at the wire.
Grindstone is undeniably well bred. His sire, Unbridled, won the 1990 Kentucky Derby and Breeders' Cup Classic, and his dam is the Grade 1-winning Drone mare Buzz My Bell. In addition to his Derby win, Grindstone won the Grade 3 Louisiana Derby, and he finished second by a neck in the Grade 2 Arkansas Derby. But he was very lightly raced, starting just six times. He injured himself winning the Derby and never raced again.
Retired to Overbrook with an initial fee of $20,000, he covered about 70 mares in 1997 and again in 1998. "He wasn't particularly well received at $20,000," Waldman said. "There were a couple of factors. First, he rose from relative obscurity to winning the Derby, then he went back into obscurity when he retired. It hardly gave the public much time to learn who he was. This business is one of what have you done for me lately, and his 'lately' was a pretty small window.
"The other factor was that Unbridled, who roared off to a great start at stud, got a little cold awaiting improvement in the mares he bred after his first crop of runners. That made it difficult to have a hot sire line to attach to Grindstone's name."
Although his book expanded to 87 mares in 2002, Grindstone wasn't getting the kind of early results on the racetrack that a stallion needs to stay competitive in Kentucky's deep stallion population. Grindstone had three North American stakes winners and a single graded stakes winner, Ommadon, when breeders started booking their mares in early 2003, and his number of mates fell to just 36 that season. By then, Overbrook had dropped his fee to $5,000.
"There wasn't much more we could do to grab breeders," Waldman said.
What Grindstone needed was a marquee horse, and Birdstone came along at exactly the right time to showcase the stallion's potential. Other factors, including Unbridled's rise as a sire, also helped, Waldman said.
"Combined with the fact that Grindstone is by Unbridled, is himself a Kentucky Derby winner, and was standing for $5,000, that made him awfully attractive to breeders around the United States," he said. Overbrook raised Grindstone's fee to $7,500 in the middle of the 2004 breeding season.
The "Birdstone effect" might have been even more pronounced if he had gone on to add the Breeders' Cup Juvenile to his Champagne win and 12-length Saratoga maiden victory last year. But trainer Nick Zito shelved Birdstone after the Champagne in preparation for the tough Triple Crown campaign in 2004. If Birdstone, son and grandson of Derby winners, had won on the first Saturday in May, the advertising would have been priceless. But a Belmont win is important, too, Waldman said.
"When you're the only horse to beat Smarty Jones, I don't care if the race was three furlongs or 2 1/2 miles," he said. "More importantly, there's no way Birdstone can be stuck with the 'Belmont plodder' stigma, because he won the Champagne at 2, and his maiden win at 2 was devastating. I think the Belmont only underscores his versatility."
Grindstone's supporters hope the result will also underscore the stallion's name in breeders' minds, too. Waldman said he doesn't know yet whether Grindstone's fee will go up again; that decision will be made in the fall. Overbrook has had "significant interest" in the stallion from overseas buyers, Waldman said, but there are no plans to sell Grindstone anytime soon. Aside from his good bloodlines, Grindstone also has a great deal of sentimental value for the Young family. He is the family's sole Derby winner, he is a homebred, and the circumstances of his breeding make him even more special to them.
W. T. Young, who died earlier this year, bought a $30,000 Unbridled season at a fund-raiser for the Kentucky Derby Museum, used the season for Buzz My Bell, and got Grindstone.
"We might have been a little disappointed, but we weren't losing faith in him," Waldman said of the stallion's early breeding career. "We still proudly own this horse, and we plan to do so for a long time."

Singer : Take a Ride on the Orijent Express
Tittle : Take a Ride on the Orijent Express
Artikel Ciganski Orijent, Artikel land mines, Artikel Orient Express, Artikel Orijent, Artikel Serbian folk dance,
Take a Ride on the Orijent ExpressWho knows who will be on board? A couple of spies, for sure. At least one grand duke; a few beautiful woman, no doubt very rich and very troubled. Anything can happen and usually does on the Orient Express.
Morley Safer
Today's featured dances are Orijent and Ciganski Orijent from Serbia.
Orijent is one of the first dances I learned. There is one part of the dance in which my dance instructor described as "scraping shit off your shoe,"which is something peasants often did when dancing in the fields.
Back in the old days, animal droppings were the only "land mines" dancers had to worry about. In the country that used to be Yugoslavia, there are many places that have live land mines. The areas are marked off with warning signs.
Fortunately, there was no "land mine" danger for these dancers.
Ciganski Orijent most likely originated as a Gypsy (Roma) dance. The music sounds like a train and was inspired by the Orient Express, a luxury train that took passengers from Paris to Istanbul. The Simplon route passed through Serbia and there was a stop in Belgrade, the White City and capital of Serbia.
The Orient Express inspired Agatha Christie's novel Murder on the Orient Express, and there was also a movie based on the book.
Some of the steps are similar to Orijent in the previous video.

Opinion by Richard Baird.
The Mansion on Marylebone Lane will be a 22-unit high-quality residential development in Central London with lower ground, ground and seven upper floors, roof terraces and two basement levels. It will feature reflective glazed terracotta external cladding with a subtle variation in colour and shade to achieve an element of interest and complexity, while the reverse will be a white reflective glazed terracotta inspired by the brick courtyards of Victorian London.
Informed by the long history of mansion buildings in London—built for those looking to secure a prestigious address in the city during the boom of the industrial revolution—Pentagram partner John Rushworth developed a strategy and brand identity treatment for the property based around a monogram, slab-serif typography, terracotta colour palette, lifestyle photography and illustration. This extended across brochure, bag and box.

Schools In EU Could Face Heavy Fines For Data Breaches.
Beginning in May 2018, schools in EU member countries (including the UK despite Brexit) must comply with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Not doing so would mean they could be subject up to 4% of their turnover, a figure that created quite the buzz when it was announced for businesses earlier this year (some news sites debated the implication for notorious privacy-stragglers like Facebook and Google).
Walk, Don't Run
Poring over data breaches of the past ten years, it can be readily surmised that the education sector is not very good at protecting itself from data security incidents, be it hacking intrusions or lost data storage devices. It must be pointed out, however, that it's usually because they lack the resources to do so: schools trying to stretch their shrinking budgets cannot afford the latest and greatest in technology (leading to banks of old computers running long-abandoned software that is virtually impossible to secure), much less a proper IT security staff.
In the short-term, it looks like GDPR could cause more problems than solve them, especially because schools are unaware of their responsibilities. In the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has provided some tips on what must be done – but as it's usually the case, this is not to be taken as a checklist where you can cross off items and declare yourself compliant.
There is much to do, according to an expert interviewed by schoolsweek.co.uk:
- Replace out-of-date IT equipment and ensure warranties exist for current equipment.
- Designate a data protection officer.
- Ensure a formal contract exists with data processors, which need to meet industry standards.
- Document where data goes and how it is used.
There are other experts, however, who advise not to rush into things as there are some issues that need to be resolved. On the other hand, they, too, advise to "start 'preparatory tasks.'"
Other Side of the Pond
Meanwhile, in the US, a school district in Maryland has opted to stop collecting Social Security numbers for students:
Director of Technology Infrastructure Edward Gardner, who oversaw the development of the new data policy, said the school system would not collect student Social Security numbers "unless explicitly necessary," and he could not think of a reason it would be.
This may very well be the best approach to data security: if you don't need it, don't collect it. Far too many organizations take the approach of "collect it first and deal with it later." The problem is, of course, that it never gets dealt with at all. At least, not in the sense of securing the data – be it encrypting, scrubbing, deleting, etc.
Unsurprisingly, a data breach ensues somewhere.

Clown Master Philippe Gaulier to Teach in Halifax
Zuppa Circus Theatre, in association with Theatre Nova Scotia in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada is pleased to announce a workshop in Character Work led by internationally acclaimed clown master, Philippe Gaulier. The workshop will be held from August 2-23, 2005, Monday-Friday from 10 am - 3pm. The workshop will take place in Halifax. During M.Gaulier's last visit to Halifax in 2002, he taught a three-week long workshop in Clown to students from across Canada and the USA.
The 2005 Halifax workshop will be Character Work. Each student will be assigned a costume before the class. Through these costumes, scene work, improvisation and writing exercises the class will spend three weeks discovering which characters they are drawn toward. "In this class we will discover that playing a character means giving what the audience needs in order to continue dreaming about the character, and not an ounce more than this. An ounce more would break the charm and everything would fall back onto the ground again in reality, in a thousand pieces. Students often play too much, so much that they lose their aura, their charm, their soul" (from www.ecolephilippegaulier.com)
Philippe Gaulier is a world-renowned teacher/writer and director with a distinctive approach to the world of performance. Currently based in Paris, France he runs his own international theatre school, �cole Philippe Gaulier, where, each year, he welcomes students from up to 36 different countries. Founded twenty-four years ago, it continues to produce enriched theatre artists that take their craft back to their many corners of the world. Theatre artists that have trained with M. Gaulier include Oscar-winning actors Geoffrey Rush (Shine), and Roberto Benigni (Life is Beautiful), Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility), Helena Bonham-Carter (Fight Club / Big Fish) and the very popular satirist Ali-G. London's internationally acclaimed, cutting-edge theatre company Complicit�, under the direction of Simon McBurney and Marcello Magni, was founded on and guided by the principles at the heart of Philippe Gaulier's teachings. Philippe Gaulier does not teach a style of theatre, but an approach to theatre that allows an actor to find his or her own style. Gaulier's approach, puts a great emphasis on character development; however, play creation, writing and directing are also fundamental aspects of Gaulier's belief in giving birth to unique creative artists.

Fools at the Jubilee
Theatre group launches inaugural season with Neil Simon comedy
The new Jubilee Players (formerly the Kensington Theatre Company) starts its inaugural season with a light-hearted production of Neil Simon?s 1981 comedy, Fools. The performance will take place on January 22, 28 & 29 at 8 pm at the Harbourfront Jubilee Theatre.
cusco-lama.jpg
The new Jubilee Players (formerly the Kensington Theatre Company) starts its inaugural season with a light-hearted production of Neil Simon?s 1981 comedy, Fools. The performance will take place on January 22, 28 & 29 at 8 pm at the Harbourfront Jubilee Theatre.
The play takes place in the cursed Ukrainian village of Kulyenchikov, where for two hundred years every villager has suffered the curse of absolute and unremitting stupidity. Not just mere stupidity, we?re talking DUM here. Snetsky (Sandra Sheridan), the town shepherdess not only can?t find two dozen sheep, she can?t even find her own first name.
Into this village of fools comes Leon Tolchinsky (Terry Foster), an idealistic young school teacher, who rushes in like a Peace Corp poster boy to save the village from the curse (or, as the villagers invariably call it ?the nurse, no the purse??). Leon is lured to the village by a totally misspelled advertisement placed by the town?s intellectual, Dr. Zubritsky (Thane Clarke) and his wife (Elaine Chessman), to educate the doctor?s daughter, Sophia (Angie Brighty) and rid the village of its curse. Leon, of course, falls madly in love with this damsel sporting the IQ of a cabbage.
With one day, ?25 hours? according to the villianous Duke Yousekevitch (Vernon Campbell) to accomplish this or fall victim to the curse himself, Leon struggles to raise Sophia from a young woman who has mastered the art of sitting, to a Grade 1 mathematics wiz. With veteran performers Grace Jenkins, Roy Young, Albert Gaudet and Don Purich as the village idiots, this production is sure to delight.
This is vintage Simon schtick. One liners and gags, spoken and visual, fly with the frequency of bullets from a Gatling Gun. A sort of Borscht Belt-Brigadoon, this hilarious, laugh-until-your-stomach-aches-comedy is perfect family entertainment. Created by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of hits such as The Odd Couple, Brighton Beach Memoirs and Lost in Yonkers. WCBS-TV says, Fools has been described as the brightest, funniest, wittiest, warmest and happiest show on Broadway.
Tickets available by calling the Harbourfront Jubilee Theatre box office at 902-888-2787 or 1-800-708-6505.

Murder on Location
From Thursday, August 26 through Saturday, August 28, St. Mary�s Church will become the stage for Murder in the Cathedral, the gripping verse drama by T.S. Eliot reenacting the death of Archbishop Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170.
Written for the Canterbury Festival in 1935, Eliot�s play � arguably the most substantial religious drama of the past century � was soon recognized as a classic and moved into commercial theatres; later it even became a film. But it is still best experienced in a church; in this setting it has been performed all over the world, including at St. Peter's Cathedral in Charlottetown in 1983.

Eighteen Tips for Memorizing Lines
Some of the Women of Canterbury have asked me for tips on how to memorize their lines. I'll try to provide some here. I'd be happy to follow this up with a workshop—as was also suggested—if desired. But if you already have your own method of memorizing, or if you are doing well with the various aids provided for the Murder, carry on ? you may not have anything to learn from what I write here.
It is a commonplace that people have different learning styles. Some are better with visual aids, others with aural or tactile; some like abstractions such as numbers, while others prefer concrete examples or images; and so on. No doubt, however, everyone learns some things in each of these ways. My own method for memorizing lines is to throw in everything possible.
I'll take as my first example something I had to memorize this very month: a paragraph from the one-person play, Yr. Obedient Servant: An Evening with Samuel Johnson, by Kay Eldredge.1 The year is 1745, and the place is London, England:
The horrors of daily living make men callous and life cheap. People who live near here complain that cries of murder victims keep them from their sleep. For sport they go and watch animals tied up and stoned. Or people being whipped or branded with a red-hot iron for petty crimes. Or out to Tyburn—eleven hangings there last Monday. Crowds gathered as if it were a festival—people who work twelve-hour days, six days a week, but always take hanging days off. There are 143 things now that can get you hanged. Oh, it's not a crime to trick a man into debt, then sell him to a slave ship for the war against Spain. Not even a crime to steal a child. But you'll hang if they catch you stealing its clothes.
Here are the eighteen things I'm doing with this paragraph:
1. I have typed it out on my own, and this new version is what I work from, not the original script.
2. I have freely put in my own punctuation if it seems to help (e.g. I've added a comma after "143 things now").
3. I have typed the piece using lots of my own paragraphs, indentations, and separate lines, so that sense divisions are clear, phrases are isolated as separate units, lesser items are subordinated to main items, and parallel structures end up looking parallel on the page:
The horrors of daily living
make men callous
and life cheap
People who live near here complain
that cries of murder victims keep them from their sleep.
For sport
they go and watch animals tied up
and stoned.
Or people being whipped
or branded with a red-hot iron
for petty crimes.
Or out to Tyburn
? eleven hangings there last Monday.
Crowds gathered as if it were a festival
? people who work twelve-hour days
six days a week,
but always take hanging days off.
There are 143 things now, that can get you hanged.
Oh, it's not a crime to trick a man into debt,
then sell him to a slave ship for the war against Spain.
Not even a crime to steal a child.
But you'll hang if they catch you stealing its clothes..
4. I have made an audio tape of myself speaking this piece, somewhat slower than normal, without much emotion, and with extra-careful enunciation (e.g. "There are 143," not "There're 143"). If the piece had been in dialogue, I'd have enlisted someone else to be the other voice(s).
5. I am playing this tape (in fact, the whole play—about 50 minutes) in my car as I drive. This is an obvious place for me to listen to a tape, since I'm half an hour from Charlottetown, and 40-45 minutes from Kensington and Indian River. Others might play such a tape while working around the house, or out in the garden (with or without earphones or a Walkman).
6. For the first many times of playing, I don't make any particular effort to memorize. I just listen and let my voice drone on. Over and over and over.
7. After a while, I start trying to say the piece aloud as it is playing. I don't go back to fix any hesitations. And at this stage, I'm still working in big units, the whole play in fact. Over and over and over.
8. Eventually it's time to get to detailed work, especially where I'm stumbling. Either listening or on the page, I start to analyze the content. What is said? Why? What's the context? This particular piece is about people seeing so much cruelty around them that they and the system are callous. Why is it in the play? Because Johnson is NOT callous; he's sensitive to these evils.
9. I make sure that I understand every word and idea. "Tyburn," near the Marble Arch in London, is where they held public hangings. Twelve-hour days, six days a week, is seventy-two hours ? a lot of work.
10. I try to paint pictures in my head of what I'm saying (lots of possibilities here: animals tied up, a child without clothes).
11. I also try to analyze the language. To get from one of my self-created paragraphs above to another (that is, to the next main idea or thought), I try to see if there are linking words. Usually a good author is fairly kind in this respect, since good writing doesn't jump around arbitrarily. It's not too hard, for example, to link the opening general statement of "the horrors" to the first example of such horrors, "murder victims," or to link the example of "hanging days" to the following generality of the "143 things now that can get you hanged."
12. Still on language, I look for rhyme ("keep ? sleep") and alliteration ("make men" and "complain that cries"). I also look for repetition, which is an easy place to stumble. After "men," this author uses "People" and that word is repeated twice more: "people being whipped" and "people who work". But in between the second and third use comes "Crowds." So the order of all the words here for folks in general is "men ? people ? people ? crowds ? people," five instances in all.
13. As in the above example, I use counting a lot. I tell myself there are THREE examples of how people are callous: murder, sports, and Tyburn (though hanging is really another sport). Within sports, there are also three: animals, whipped, branded. A lot of authors like to list things in threes ? so when it's four or two, I try to remember that as an exception.
14. Maybe this tip is not for everybody, but I also use the alphabet heavily, especially for lists. There doesn't seem to be a good example in this passage, but elsewhere in the play I have to say, "I was part of the conspiracy for the destruction of paper—hack work—writing anonymous articles, reviews, essays, poems." How to get these four kinds of writing in the right order? Well, the first one starts with A, the first letter of the alphabet, a vowel which also alliterates with "anonymous." The next word jumps into the middle of the alphabet and starts with a consonant, R. The next jumps back to the next vowel after A, E for "essays." Finally the last starts with another consonant, P, which is just before R in the alphabet, or almost. So it's A - R - E - P.
This particular tip is not nearly as laborious as it sounds. I find I can go through the entire thought-process above while still saying the four words quite quickly, because what I have actually memorized is the pattern of jumping. Much more often than one would think, there is some such pattern to be found in the first letters of words in lists. And it is amazing how often lists turn out simply to be in alphabetical or reverse-alphabetical order.
15. Back to the audio-tape, there comes a point when I try to say the words on my own, checking my stumbles at once against the tape. (Occasionally I pay attention to my driving too.)
16. Back to the typing, I cover the page with another page, say each line, and then reveal it.
17. At some point, late in the process, it's time to enlist a friendly person who will hold the script, prompt me when I can't remember, and (in the case of dialogue) read the other lines.
18. I don't let any of the above go too far before the basic blocking (moving from place to place on the stage) is done in rehearsal with the director. This is because where I am on the stage at the time of saying a particular line is a vital aid to my memorization. It's just a basic association of words and place: "Since I go left here, I must be saying X"; "I find myself saying X, so I must be going left."
So much for my personal example. I'll now take the part of FLORENCIA2 in the opening chorus of Murder in the Cathedral, and see how many of the mechanical devices above I can apply. In this case, as in most plays, it is also necessary to know well—if not fully memorize ? the immediately preceding line or two spoken by someone else in the dialogue. I have included these context lines, and put Florencia's in italics. Under each I've given some memorization ideas in short form:
Some presage of an act
Which our eyes are compelled to witness, has forced our feet
Towards the cathedral. [Group 1] We are forced to bear witness.
—Group 1 = Florencia's number one speech
—repeat "forced" from the cue line
—"eyes" in the cue line is the same idea as "witness" in Florencia's line
—pattern of images in the 2 lines: eyes—feet—eyes (up, down, up)
The New Year waits, breathes, waits, whispers in darkness
—pattern: "waits"—then another speaker—"waits"—then Florencia
—alphabetical order: breathes, waits, whispers
—the new year is the darkest time of the year: in darkness
—pattern: waiting makes no noise, breathing makes a slight noise, waiting again makes no noise, whispering makes a bigger noise
While the labourer kicks off a muddy boot and stretches his hand to the fire,
The New Year waits, [Group 1] destiny waits for the coming
—these lines follow immediately from the last example, so really there are two things close together that Florencia has to say, both of them about waiting. The second is also the second time for Group 1
—repetition of structure: The New Year waits, destiny waits
—coming suggests the coming of Christ, in December, which is now
Seven years and the summer is over
[Group 1] Seven years since the Archbishop left us
—repetition of seven years
—rhythm of the two lines is identical
—start of new idea, first mention of Thomas
—easy place to stumble, thinking the Group 1 line is first ? but get the summer "over" first.
King rules or barons rule;
[Tutti] We have suffered various oppression,
But mostly we are left to our own devices,
And we are content if we are left alone.
—maybe the king and the different barons oppress in different or various ways (some may be trying to apply the droit du seigneur???)
—word oppression might have been oppressionS. Use of singular, not plural, is Eliot perhaps suggesting an older form of language. But the NEXT line ends in a plural.
—it is the first Tutti and a long one ? lots of oppression for lots of people
—but still, just THREE lines: Statement line 1, But line 2, And line 3
—there might be `devices' of oppression—torture instruments—but we prefer our own devices
—two `L's' in line 2" mostLy we are Left
—content starts with C, and the previous big word, devices, with D = reverse alphabet
—left repeated in line 3
—line 2 and 3: we are, we are, we are ? 3 times (which suggests memory tip no. 19: use personal associations. A frequent song heard at U of Toronto football games in my callow youth was "We are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers; we can, we can, we can, we can demolish 40 beers" [tune: "Mine eyes have seen the glory."].)
Shall the son of Man be born again in the litter of scorn?
[Tutti] For us, the poor, there is no action,
But only to wait and to witness
—these last lines of this first chorus = Florencia's first lines: wait, witness (which are alphabetical)
—there is no action quite like giving birth, I suppose
—"litter" = hay, straw ? a very "poor" place to be born
—first line of this tutti has four beats, the last three; without only there would "only" be two
Finally, whose problem is it if someone forgets a line in performance? It's EVERYBODY'S problem. Don't just wait and witness the agony of this poor person ? HELP OUT. And be understanding ? it can happen to anybody.

Look at these friggin' sweet shot glasses that I own!
At Texas Frightmare Weekend, I had the privilege of interviewing a very interesting vendor named R.C., who creates some unique merchandise with his own hands. What makes his business stand out from others is the fact that every piece of glass is etched by hand. While others rely on cheap stickers to cover a plain glass shooter, R.C. takes the the time to carve a permanent design that can be used for life. Hear what he has to say about his craft, his reason behind his selections, and his exclusivity to the Texas Frightmare convention.

Disneyland has new night time summer shows that are amazing. Here are some tips to help you decide which ones to see and when.
1. Magical - the new fireworks show over Cinderella's Castle. There is only one show each night a 9:25. If your visiting for two days you may want to see this one first then head over to Fantasmic the next night.
2. Fantasmic - There are two shows each night (3 if the park is really crowded). You may be able to see the first Fantasmic show and then head over to "Magical", but don't count on getting a good spot. Overall Fantasmic is the best of the three shows. Lots of action, fire and fireworks.
3. Electrical Parade - This take place at California Adventure at around 8:45 (later if the park is crowded) You can see the Magical fireworks really well from Paradise Pier and by over by Mickey's Funwheel.
Many people save their spot with a blanket for 2-3 hours before the shows starts. You need to get there early but not 2 hours early in order to watch, only to get a seat.

Hey I'm 18 and have been lifting since I was in 7th grade and am now a senior. I'm interested In the dball cycle over the dianabol but have a few questions. The first question is do I need to take a test booster with it? Although it is recommended Ik if you mess with your body's natural production at a young age it can screw up your production of it.

Chilean President Visits Columbia Research Ship
Chilean president Michelle Bachelet recently toured the research vessel Marcus G. Langseth, which is operated by Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, as it docked in the port city of Valparaíso. The ship was on a months-long voyage to assess the risk of earthquakes and tsunamis along the western coast of South America. Bachelet, a physician who in 2012 gave the Commencement address at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, inspected the ship's high-tech control room and met with researchers to better understand its mission. She learned about how teams of American and Chilean scientists aboard the ship are studying the vibrations of an underwater continental shelf in hopes of predicting its future movements.
"This project represents a milestone in collaboration between scientists in our country and those of Columbia University," said Karen Poniachik '90SIPA, a Chilean journalist and former government minister who directs the Columbia Global Center in Santiago and who took part in the tour. "In addition to bringing us together to face the threats of earthquakes and tsunamis, it creates ties of medium- and long-term academic cooperation, which will result in more programs, exchanges, and joint research."

What should you do? You should stop doing stupid stuff like this.
When people like you do things like these, it stresses people out unnecessarily and it forces them to get other people to investigate. These people need to be paid for their time, their resources and their attention. You are therefore taking them away from putting their attention to real emergencies. We, tax payers and citizens pay for all this one way or the other. You are wasting it merely for your own amusement because you think it would be cool or funny, or probably just trying to impress your friends or someone you like.
Judging from your inexperience and naivete, you are likely to still be a boy or girl. You don't see the bigger picture yet.
In this case, nothing might happen. But for your sake, stop engaging in stupidities like this before you get into trouble. You know it when you're doing it. So stop. You can do better.
What should you do? You should stop doing stupid stuff like this.

The first New Zealand-made virtual reality film has been showcased to a captive audience of children.
They stepped into the world of the Green Fairy for a special viewing at Auckland Central Library.
It's taking storytelling to the next level - and New Zealand is leading the way.
Alejandro Davila and his small team of six have produced the country's first virtual reality film, and only the second in the world.
"Everyone is using virtual reality for games but I thought it would be a good idea to put people inside the movie and look around and see the characters interact," he said.
"It's like being at Disneyland or going to a theme park."
On Saturday his team showed off the short film to a young audience keen to put down their books, grab the goggles and step inside the virtual reality world of the Green Fairy.
Virtual reality goggles are already on the market, and with improving technology and increasing demand, they could be seen in many homes soon.
"My aim has been to have something in the market already so you can download it from the VR app store just like you watch movies on Netflix, you will be able to download experiences," Mr Davila said.
The hands-on experience of virtual reality captivated the children - but while it may be the future of storytelling, it will take most of us some time to turn the page.

I quite like it in my own code as I can set it up for a test run, push some tests through it and then tear it down. It's got weaknesses -doesn't shut down very well, tends to hold locks on build/test/metadata or something. This doesn't show up in Hadoop JUnit as every Test class runs in its own process, but in my functional tests I do bring up the cluster in a separate process and push out work to it, and I need to leave the cluster live for the entire test run, as per-test-class doesn't work. -does have hardcoded assumptions that there is a "./build/test" subdir under which it should create a new dir (not configurable) These are minor issues. The key thing is that MiniDFS cluster and MiniMR cluster let you bring up a short lived MR cluster without any installation overhead and run tests against it. Even if the hadoop-mapreduce code can move away from it, it's still invaluable downstream

The Knox Choir is comprised of youth in grades 7 through 12 and is one of eight choirs of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Dayton, Ohio, where Pastors Glenn and Miriam served prior to coming to First Presbyterian in Albany.
This summer the group is embarking on a seven-day concert tour of the Northeast, including at First Presbyterian Church, 362 State Street, at the corner of Willett Street, across from Washington Park, in Albany, on Thursday June 8.
A wide variety of music will be sung, including works by Fauré and Bach, as well as music from the gospel tradition, and songs from around the globe. Since 2007, the Knox Choir has done eight tours, including three Presbyterian heritage tours of Scotland.
The evening will begin with a Potluck Supper at 6:00 in Assembly Hall at First Presbyterian. Bring some food to share and enjoy good conversation.
The Knox Choir Concert will begin at 7:30 pm in the church sanctuary. An event for all!
In addition to presenting concerts in churches, the group will be exploring local points of interest in Western and Central New York, Maine, Boston, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The word is "unsub." Spellcheck doesn't like it.
1) Google: Unsubscribe, as in cancel a subscription.
2) Everyone else: Unknown subject of an investigation. Used mainly by US TV crime shows.
Hmm, I don't watch the crime shows, but let's check it out.
1. Unsubscribe.
'you won't be spammed and you can unsub if you change your mind'
1990s: abbreviation.
2. US, informal
(in police use) a person of unknown identity who is the subject of a criminal investigation.
'putting together these insights will help police come up with a composite picture of the unsub'
1970s: abbreviation of unknown subject or unidentified subject.
So the crime reference is EARLIER than the opt out reference
Urban Dictionary:
"Our unsub is most likely a white male in his mid 30s, with a penchant for Star Wars action figures, and chocolate milk-type beverages."
(Unknown Subject) The term used by Profilers in lieu of a suspect's name.
Yes, the FBI uses this term in real life, every single day. In fact, it is one of the bureau's official terms used in FBI reports of investigations (FD-302's).
"Unsub is an American television series that aired on NBC from February 3 to April 14, 1989. The series revolves around an elite FBI forensic team that investigates serial murderers and other violent crimes. Unsub is an abbreviation for the unknown subject of an investigation.
No, I had never heard of this show, which starred David Soul from Starsky & Hutch. It was on Friday nights at 10 p.m.
UNSUB: A Novel Hardcover – June 27, 2017

Caitlin Hendrix has been a Narcotics detective for six months when the killer at the heart of all her childhood nightmares reemerges: the Prophet. An UNSUB—what the FBI calls an unknown subject—the Prophet terrorized the Bay Area in the 1990s and nearly destroyed her father, the lead investigator on the case.
So, Dan, you are correct, sir. I had no idea.

PROTECTED: The Munich surfer in the waves
here is wearing a helmet. Not many others do.
SURFING MUNICH: One of the oddest memories people take away from Munich is from watching surfers ride the swells in the Englischer Garten park.
They jump in, manage a few turns back and forth, might get in a trick or two and are then dumped into the water, left to pull themselves out a little further downstream.
It's fantastic to watch and there's usually a healthy crowd of onlookers marvelling at the sheer quirkiness of it all.
But how did it start? Is it safe? And how cold is that water, exactly? Let's take a look.
PROTECTED: The Munich surfer in the waves

Check out this post from Science Blogs about things found in people's heads, most of which were self inflicted, that's right, the one above wasn't an accident. The man hammered the nails into his own head over the span of 3 months, and consciously went to the hospital after that big nail started to hurt a little.... can you say crazy?

Already I have failed NaNoBloPo. Hopefully no one wept at seeing I didn't post yesterday. Today I'd like to highlight two of my favorite items, both given to me by my beloved paternal Grandma D. Here we are a few years ago at Christmas:
I'm very thankful to have two wonderful grandmothers in my life!
The first item is this red orange dress. Perhaps someone can help with the history of it; did my Aunt J make the dress for Grandma Diane? Or did Aunt J make it for herself? Anyway, I LOVE how it fits me PERFECTLY. I resemble my Dad's side of the family and in this case genetics are a blessing.

This chapter opens in the first person from an unidentified perspective (later revealed to be named Biplab Dasgupta). He is in Delhi, waiting to be certified fit for service, though he longs to return to Kabul. He visits a house he once bought in Delhi and checks on his tenants. He notices that the number of cars parked around the building has grown. He watches servants walking smart-looking dogs and an interracial, gay couple walk past. He observes that in comparison to Kabul, this part of Delhi is "like a small corner of Paradise" (151).
He discovers that his second-floor tenant has left, a woman that he has known for 30 years. They met in 1984, when they were performing in a college play called "Norman, Is That You?" The narrator of this chapter was playing the part of Garson Hobart, and his classmate...

Hi Everybody!
It's easy to find yourself trying to make every little aspect of your destination wedding as easy as possible for your guests to attend. But sometimes, that can get you into trouble. Your guests are adults, and they have their own travel agents, their own preferred airlines, etc. And many of them will be turning your destination wedding weekend into their own vacation, too. See my #TravelTuesday blog in BRIDES today for some advice about where the wedding couples' responsibility ends in making their guests arrangements!
Until next time, happy wedding planning from Weddings in Vieques and Sandy Malone Weddings & Events!
