This is Bald Mountain, the one Jay did a hike-to ski run down last week.
Skiing on Nellie. Ski patrol was doing avalanche control up higher from where we were here. One bomb went off and sounded like it was right next to us. Very cool.
Jay skiing down Runaway Train.
In this video, Jay is skiing down Holy Cow, a double black run that is very steep at the end. The video didn't turn out very well and makes this look super easy. I like to wait on him to come down this one on Teddy's Way, which is right under lift 4 and people riding the left think I just finished the run before Jay. We have had people shout at me saying, "What's taking him so long?" One guy asked Jay, "Why did you let her beat you down?"
Here's a secret that you can't tell anyone. We decided to let the kids skip school this Friday to ski with us one last time this season. Then Saturday morning we will be getting up super early to drive to Oklahoma.

Letters to the Editor
Approximately one year ago my wife and I relocated to Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania from Middle Village.

On Metropolitan Avenue, on the 7400 block, there have been a series of break-ins of stores with merchandise and cash stolen, as well as damage to the store.

This column refrains from supplying any useful information to perpetrators, so, will not provide any addresses, dates, or times of these break-ins.Read More
A View from the Tracks
Growing up as a teenager shortly after World War Two, I never viewed Glendale as a rural community. However, its tree-lined streets and well kept single-family homes did impress me. In 1947, when I looked westward down the railroad tracks from the 88th Street rail crossing, the view gave me the feeling that I had traveled to a pastoral setting. That was sixty years ago and Glendale is no longer the "Sleepy Hollow" that it was in 1947.Read More

Developer drops housing plan for St. Saviour's
Maspeth Development, LLC has withdrawn its application to build 70+ housing units at the historic St. Saviour's site in West Maspeth. This turn of events was unexpected mainly because the project seemed to have been on the fast track. The zoning change seemed to be "a done deal" due to intense lobbying of members of Community Board 5, the Borough President and the Department of City Planning by Councilman Dennis Gallagher.Read More
Councilman Dennis Gallagher: Working Hard (Against Us)

St. Saviour's Timeline
2007 ‒ The 185 trees present on the St. Saviour's property were cut down after JPCA held a rally asking the city to purchase the property for use as a park. The zoning application was headed toward certification when it was suddenly withdrawn by the applicant. Charles Ahlers, formerly of Maspeth, comes forward to say that at one time he lived on the property and has personal knowledge of the locations of the graves of both the early parishioners of the church and Native Americans.Read More

Maspeth-Middle Village Task Force's coalition strategy pays off
Mayor de Blasio announced a major policy shift on February 28th which will eventually end the City's use of hotels and cluster sites as homeless shelters. The City now plans to build shelters in individual communities sized to accommodate the number of homeless that originate from them. This means homeless families and individuals will be able to remain in their own familiar neighborhoods while they rebuild their lives.Read More
(June 7, 2016) Assemblywoman Margaret Markey is pushing a bill in the State Assembly that would extend the statute of limitations for civil claims brought by sexual abuse victims. (Interestingly, it does not attempt to toughen criminal penalties for sexual abuse.) The bill has been promoted non-stop by media such as the Daily News, which has vilified anyone who has questions about it or opposes it outright. However, what is not being discussed by the media is that Markey's bill has fine print with major implications: it targets religious and private institutions while granting exemptions to public entities, such as the Department of Education, which runs the majority of schools in our city.Read More

The Australian Nanny Association Incorporated (ANA) was established in 2012 in response to the increasing demand for in-home childcare. We represent our members from the Home Based Child Care sector including and not limited to Nannies, In Home Care Educators, Home Based Carers, Families employing nannies, Agencies and service providers of home based care services.
The Australian Nanny Association is the first Australian association to represent all sections of the nanny industry, and believes that the nanny industry can achieve the best possible outcomes for all involved by working together as a whole.
The Australian Nanny Association aims to provide a support network for Australia's nannies, families who employ nannies, and service providers (agencies).
The Australian Nanny Association believes professional nannies should be recognised as a legitimate quality childcare option for families, and that the availability of the Child Care Rebate (CCR) should be extended to families who employ nannies. This would allow greater flexibility in meeting the childcare needs of Australian families.
The Australian Nanny Association also aims to educate the public about nannies and the role they play in the care of children within the community.
ANA participates in a variety of Stakeholder and Government Consultations.
Currently ANA is participating in regular consultation with the Federal Government and key stakeholders on Early Childcare and Learning to complement the Council, the Department of Education. The Group's membership encompasses organisations from across the sector with experience in the operation of child care and early learning services.

Want to make friends from around the world who share a common passion? Go on a Costa Rica surf trip by yourself.
Traveling solo is both easier and more fun than it's ever been. You still get the sense of adventure that goes along with making a journey to another part of the world by yourself. However modern-day connectivity in the form of blogs and social media mean that your family and friends get to witness your quest for waves as it happens (that is…if you want them to).
What becomes even more special is that the people you meet along the way can very easily become friends for life. Bonded by the common love for riding water, it's likely that you will make amigos with surfers who come here seeking the same thing you are. Me personally, my travels to Central America have blessed me with friends from Switzerland, Denmark, Canada, Spain, Scotland, Australia, South Africa, France and England to name a few. Using social media like Facebook, keeping in touch with them and following their paths in life is easy.
So with all of this in mind combined with the special place we at Witch's Rock Surf Camp hold in our hearts for adventurous single travelers, our Single Travelers Special is a PERMANENT DEAL.
In a nutshell, this means you can experience a world-class Costa Rica surfing vacation for just $1036 a week for beginners and $1141 for intermediate and advanced surfers! We love our single travelers so much that we've even decided to set aside a couple of our beach-front Courtyard rooms specifically for this special (one for guys, one for gals). Everything else we include in our surf packages, such as participation in the surf school and surf tours, remains the same.
So stop waiting around for someone to travel with who may not have the same fire in their heart to experience Costa Rica surfing at it's finest. Get in touch with us as soon as you can and make your dream surf trip a reality. Spots are filling up for this deal faster than you can say 'Pura Vida!'

LOS ANGELES — Kansas has played basketball on two islands — Maui and Manhattan — and ventured away from Allen Fieldhouse five times this season.
What the Jayhawks haven't done is play a game inside someone else's arena, with someone else's band blaring and someone else's fans shouting, uh, encouragement.
"Going on the road is different," coach Bill Self said. "You've got to have a tighter huddle and be more focused."
Southern Cal's Galen Center won't be the most hostile environment KU visits this season, unless it has perked up considerably from the last time the Jayhawks were there.
Still, the No. 12 Jayhawks (7-3) will get a test when they face the Trojans (5-7) at 10 p.m. Thursday in their first true road game. Focus, an issue that seems to surface regardless of venue, will become even more important in a foreign environment.
"We've been such a good road team through the years, but this is one that we don't quite have as much margin for error," Self said. "You need to be focused and disciplined, some things that we really haven't been, to be quite candid with you, except in stretches."
Playing in far friendlier surroundings, the Jayhawks lost 80-74 to Davidson on Monday at the Sprint Center. That outcome sapped some holiday spirit from KU's trip west, which included an extra day in L.A.
"I was maybe more in a festive mood prior to last night," Self said. "I think we'll probably spend a little bit more time in film sessions while we're out there."
This trip will be all business, which won't be the worst thing for KU. Concentration has a tendency to lapse for the Jayhawks, who haven't lost back-to-back games since 2005.
"We need to start the game with all five players on the same page every game," guard Elijah Johnson said. "We need everybody 100 percent tuned in and focused."
The Trojans have their own problems, with losses on the ledger to Nebraska, San Diego State and Cal Poly.
But it was just last year that USC came to Allen Fieldhouse and gave KU scare, a game that will go down as the apex of Josh Selby's brief KU career.
"They came in and had every opportunity to beat us," Self said. "We were fortunate. Josh made a couple plays late to get us the win."
This is a completely different KU team, one that will have its composure tested in a road venue. Point guard Tyshawn Taylor, who returned from knee surgery to play 33 minutes against Davidson, is basically the only Jayhawk who has played important minutes in a road game.
"The majority of the guys have played in them, but he's by far got more experience than the other 11 guys combined," Self said. "I look for him to be a guy who leads by example and understands the value of the ball, tightens the game up a little bit and becomes a much better defender. That's really what I'd like to see out of Tyshawn."
The Jayhawks have won seven straight Big 12 titles in part because they typically aren't fazed by hostile environments. This team will need similar composure to maintain the streak, which makes Thursday a valuable test.
"You always need to play on the road before you go (into conference play)," Self said.
"This year we've played five games away from home, but we definitely need to go in someone else's building, no question."
Tipoff: 10 p.m. Thursday, Galen Center, Los Angeles

Real paintings?!
Yes, as promised here are the paintings I said I was working on during the semester. They're not as fantastic as I hoped (they look to "heavy" to me), but considering I haven't painted for about 5 years I think they're not so bad.

A colleague of mine said yesterday, "Play your work, work your plan."
Do you have a plan? Ever find yourself at a loss for what you should be doing, or spending time working on something that isn't a priority and end up feeling unaccomplished? Or overwhelmed because those major projects are still there, incomplete, and you don't feel like you're making progress?
A plan for both your day-to-day activities AND your long term goals is essential. If you don't have a plan for your day, how do you know what to focus on? If you don't have a specific marketing plan, how will you tell if you were successful in your advertising efforts? How will you evaluate them?
At the very least, you can execute a daily plan NOW that will help you streamline your day and increase productivity. We can visit how to create a bigger plan later…that's a whole post in itself!
On a day-to-day basis, I use a "Daily Productivity Sheet" that helps tremendously. It's structured a little something like this:
- Priorities – 5 Firsts: The 5 Things that MUST be done today, no matter what
- People –
- People I need to reach out to
- People I'm waiting to hear from
- Projects – Major projects & action items I need to take to move projects forward
- List out projects (my sheet has room for 4) and put action steps below each project that will help you to continue to progress towards completion.
I do this sheet everyday and try to set up the next day's sheet before I leave the office so I can walk right in with a plan for the day. I would be happy to share this document with you, just email me at email@example.com.
Ready, set….now GO start planning!

Ms. Shobha De!
If I were to write an "open letter" to myself in the name of a "troller" I will not address myself as "Dear Sir Jee" as I am neither arrogant nor am I a megalo maniac to fill my "bio" as great in all and less in none. First of all, I will not allow myself to be trolled, as I never have the habit of mocking others. You may say, "you are not as great as I am" True! I am not as great as this woman in the picture too.
Are you as great as this woman. Search your soul Ms. Shobha! Can you ever imagine having carried one of your six children on your back and done modelling, copy writing, doing journalist's duty, at least socializing (it does require money, no skill), writing a novel and selling it best or the least of all, mothering the other five children? No? Right! It is because this work too requires special skill, unlike your socializing and writing trash and selling it using your high society.
In the recent past the security guard of our building kept his daughter who delivered a baby for six months in his house only. I asked him the reason. He told, "if I send her earlier her in-laws will force her to work in the fields immediately. She has to carry her child on her back (as in the picture) and some days she may not find time to feed the baby.
That is called life, Ms. Shobha! You might never have seen it or felt it or else your novels would have reflected the reality of life, not from the eyes of a high society lady! That is why you were able to mock the Olympian Athletes in such derogatory terms. Even in your "Politically Incorrect" stupidity you repeated it! You are an egoist. Somewhere I read you apologized. I was shocked. You and apologizing? Stupid! The Journalist who wrote that must be fired from his/her job! How can high society lady apologize when mocking others is "her sole USP".
Did you read the story of the fox and the crane? A fox wants to mock a crane and invites her for dinner and makes delicious "kheer". It serves the "kheer" in a plate. The crane can not take even a sip with her long beak. Fox enjoys the fun. Of course, the crane trolls the fox and takes revenge. I never saw the fox writing an open letter to the crane addressing himself, "Dear Sir Jee"!
You filled your Bio with full of accolades to yourself. Good! You may be or you may not be. I do not exactly know. I might have read more than tens of thousands of books; I have a library of about ten thousand books but it never crossed my mind that I should read your great selling books. You know why? I read your middle page column only once or twice and I developed an aversion to your style and life style. Here is my library in pictures.
Yes! You are erudite. You wrote great novels which you sold in millions. You were a successful model, a great columnist and what not? But when trollers trolled you all these skills were of no avail. You had to resort to third class trolling in a pliant news paper. I will tell you a small story.
A very wise man learned in all the scriptures was crossing the river in a boat. He asked the boat man what his educational qualification was. He replied he was illiterate. The wise man mocked him and recited all his knowledge in the Scriptures just as you recited your greatness in the Bio. After a while the boat man told the wise man that there was a scope for severe storm and the boat might sink. He told the wise man that he knew swimming and asked him whether he knew. The wise man was flabbergasted and said he did not know. Then the boat man trolled him, "If you do not know swimming you will too sink. What is the use of your knowledge? Learn to beat the storms in life".
What did you say? How many medals did we win, compared to poorer countries? Now I will ask you a few questions, Ms. Shobha! answer them. We, the Indians, will answer you.
You were a model, no? How many times did India win the Miss World ? Out of 65 times India won five times. And poorer Venezuela won six times. So, will you mock Indian models? The situation is far worse in the case of Miss Universe, Miss Earth etc.,
You are a novelist and journalist, no? Pulitzer Prizes are awarded in both categories? why did you not win it? How many times Indian journalists and authors win the awards?
So too Booker Prize? Did you win it? How many Indians on it?
Athletes toil it out in heat, rain, cold to reach the Olympic stage. In a competition all are not winners. Do you know, many of them missed the medal by a whisker? That is known competition. You use only brain. they use both brain and brawn.
And the rest of the trash in your "open letter" can be ignored. But on one point I need to tell you clearly. No one asked you to apologize. Every one know even if you apologize you will not mend yourself. And like Lady Macbeth, the most ambitious lady we ave known in a drama, you need not lament
"Here's the smell of blood still. All perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand."
Only idiots refuse to change their minds. Brigitte Bardot
I will close this argument with the following quote.

NC congressman seeks investigation of forest fire
NEW BERN, N.C. (AP) – A North Carolina congressman is seeking an investigation into the fire that's burned more than 21,000 acres in a national forest.
U.S. Rep. Walter Jones wrote the supervisor of the U.S. Forest Service in North Carolina asking for an investigation of the prescribed burn that led to the fire in the Croatan National Forest.
The Forest Service did a prescribed burn in the 160,000-acre forest last week. Jones says he's concerned that the fire is hurting tourism and public health.
Smoke from the blaze has prompted the state Division of Air Quality to issue a Code Red advisory for portions of Craven, Jones and Pamlico counties, and a Code Orange warning for Beaufort, Craven, Hyde, Jones, Martin, Pamlico, Pitt, Jones and Washington counties.

I have been an IP patient for 2 years. I had to switch PM doctors and my new doc took me off oxycontin to Methadone. The pain reief is about the same - but when I started the new meds I also started getting huge panic attacks. After one month my resting heart rate is over 100 and it kind of freaks me out. I can make a switch to MS Contin, but my doc says maybe it is still a WD effect. I take a dose of 10 mg 2xday and was on the same w/oxy.with some BT meds. Any ideas or help would be wonderful. I have to decide and let my Dr. know soon. Has anyone had this problem. Thanks for any help..
Can a IP patient switch from Methadone to MS Contin? My heart is racing from 1 month on this. Help?

How much oxycontin were you taking?? 20mgs is very low for a chronic pain patient. I agree that your having differential withdrawls which happens when you're making a change from using an opiate that you've been on for a while. You're still getting a opiate but it's not effecting all the same receptors as the oxycodone was. So it can take a while.Try and wait a little while longer and possibly get a small increase if you can... Good luck...
Hi Dave, Thanks for the answer, but I'm a little confused. Maybe this will help. I took Oxycontin for 6 months - 10mg 3xday w/ 5mg oxycodone for BT. I was doing well and my pain was managed. I started going to the gym and it helped w/endorphins so I went down to oxy 10mg 2xday w hydro 10/325 3x day. My PM doc moved and my new PM doc who I really like switched me to Methadone 10mg 2x day and back to hydro BT. When I started the Methadone (5 weeks ago) I started having panic attacks and that is what worried me. I thought/think that maybe it is a reaction to the Methadone. I have read some things that say it can be a side effect - and a change to MS Contin was offered to me. If your heart was doing this would you make the switch??? I'm sorry if this is stupid - but its my heart - and it won't relax. This has never happened to me and I'm a little freaked. :) / :(
Teargirl about 17 months ago I started methadone 60mg and about 3 hours everyday after I took it my heart would race and I would get severe panic attacks requiring er visits and even one time on an ambulance. I asked the Dr at my clinic and all the nurses and they said no, methadone wont cause this reaction. I believed them and thought I was going crazy. I did research and research for months and I have found that in some patients this is something that happens though it is not well documented. In may of 2009 I started to decrease the methadone and my panic attacks and heart racing decreased. I have slowly come off the methadone and have not had the panic attacks and the racing heart for 2 months now. I do know now other people on methadone and get these symptoms but the methadone makers and Drs dont really tell you and then they dont want to treat the panic with benzos because of the potential effects. I take a benzo once in a while now and its more for sleep.
Good luck switching and I personally have had this experience with methadone.Has anybody else have this reaction.
I was on methadone for a small amount of time and it has given me the same effect, panic attacks, I have never had one before in my life. I have been off methadone for 3 days now and woke up with a panic attack this morning. I am fairly sure this is from the methadone. I have back pain and have switched back to percocet and low doses and will deal with the pain rather than just keep taking more or something else. I have stared a process to slowly come off the percocet and take only for breakthrough pain but it is hard. I can take something and be virtually pain free and thats hard to avoid but I have to find a balance. Ihope these attacks stop soon but from I have read it taked almost 2 weeks for methadone to get out of your system. Good luck.
You can make the switch to ms contin without any problems.
Methadone is a very different opiate then heroin ,oxycodone,morphine ect. To really benifit from it the patient needs to have extensive tolerence witch take usually a minimum of 10 years otherwise you become sedated from it. I was on 400mgs and never nodded once and worked 5-6 days a week but I also had a huge addiction for nearly 25 years. So this is what the doctors are finding out which is why you're seeing a switch to buprenorphene (suboxone, subutex)..Good luck...
Can you please tell me what it was like to switch from methadone to ms contin. Was it easy or hard. Did you have problems like me or was it just a personal preference.
Thanks so much for the help. The panic and strange/super fast heartbeat is really getting to me.
I was on Methadone for 2 years, I hated it, it made me feel lethargic and I would zone out and it wasn't re-leaving my pain anymore. My pain doc put me on MS CONTIN 100MG 2XDAY and it was great. It's an easy switch and you should see more relief than with the Methadone, I also wasn't lethargic but had gained some energy with the MS Contin.. GOOD LUCK
Depending on how long you have been on Methadone, it is gong to be a tough transition, but it is a good thing to get off of 'done' i you are having heart 'paps' or any other heart problems. MS Contin is a good med, but it will take awhile to adjust. You can expect leg pains fr a while, not to mention your going to feel like you are walking in mud for a while. The problem with MS contin that they differ greatly from one manufacturer to another. Mallinckrodt is one of the best. My opinion. Take it easy and you should make it. Good luck.

Raptor vs. X6 M: Click above to watch the video after the jump
The Ford SVT Raptor and the BMW X6 M are alike in that both vehicles represent the most extreme versions of their base forms. The Raptor, with its the triple-bypass Fox shocks and 35-inch tires, is a Baja-ready version of the F-150 right off the showroom floor. Meanwhile, the BMW X6 M is the 550-horsepower speed-demon version of the mild-mannered X6 luxury crossover. The two rides have little in common other than their extreme, top-tier positioning, yet 0-60 Magazine has found a way to put the two together for its Winter 2010 issue.
We don't know what the gang at 0-60 actually did with the Raptor and the X6 M, but the magazine has managed to slap together a teaser video to whet the palette. Hit the jump to watch 0-60 have a bit of fun with the X6 M and the SVT Raptor. And if you're not a big fan of the vid, you can simply sit back and enjoy the 1:21-minute excerpt of Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart" that sets the aural backdrop to the onscreen mayhem.

- You must write an introductory message about your interest in a résumé critique and include relevant information that will help the advisor to prepare.
- You must upload a résumé and may include additional documentation such as a cover letter or job description.
Connecting Before the Résumé Review
- Both parties are sent a confirmation email that includes a list of phone numbers (users select one suited for their location) and conference code.
- 10 minutes before the conference is scheduled the codes will be live.
- Once both parties call in and enter their code they'll be connected and the consultation will begin.
During Your Résumé Review
- Your résumé review will consist of a 60-minute meeting where the advisor will ask you questions and provide feedback.
- Be prepared to briefly introduce yourself professionally and answer questions about your background and interest in your career area.
- Strive to be a receptive and active listener during the feedback process.
After the Résumé Review

March 07, 2011 08:00 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 7, 2011) - New Dimension Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NDR) (the "Company" or "New Dimension") is pleased to report that it has executed a binding option agreement (the "Agreement") with Strategic Metals Ltd., ("Strategic Metals") to earn up to a 100% interest in Strategic Metals' Lancing Property ("the Property") located within the prospective Tintina Gold Belt in central Yukon.
The Lancing Property:
The Lancing Project is comprised of 11 claim blocks (410 claims covering about 1,900 hectares) located 40 to 140 kilometres south of ATAC Resources' large Rau gold property.
The claims cover areas anomalous in any or all of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, antimony, bismuth and arsenic, as defined by regional GSC stream-sediment surveys.
Additional exploration has been conducted on two specific claim blocks referred to as Husky and Lorne:
Exploration will commence in conjunction with the Company's Gild gold exploration program, which is also a venture with Strategic Metals in the Yukon (see additional information below and in the Company's news release dated November 3, 2010).
Please click on the link below to view the location of the Lancing Property:
The Agreement:
New Dimension can earn an initial 50% property interest by spending $1.8 million in exploration expenditures and making payments totaling $450,000 in cash or stock to Strategic Metals over a three year period. The Company can also earn an additional 50% (aggregate 100% property interest), by paying Strategic Metals $3 million over the following 3 years. Upon NDR earning 100%, Strategic Metals would retain a 2% net smelter returns (NSR) production royalty on precious metals and a 1% NSR production royalty on non-precious metals.
The Agreement is subject to regulatory approval, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
About New Dimension Resources:
New Dimension is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of quality mineral resource properties throughout the Americas with a focus on significant bulk tonnage gold and silver deposits. In addition to its 100% owned Cenepa gold project in northern Peru.
New Dimension has an option to earn a 100% interest in Strategic Metals' Gild gold property within a geological belt that the Company & Strategic Metals believes has similar characteristics to discoveries by ATAC Resources Ltd. in the Yukon (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/ndr-gild.pdf). Drilling on the ATAC Property has returned significant gold values, as demonstrated by announced intercepts of 9.25 g/t gold over 31.1 metres and 24.07 g/t gold over 28.4 metres from over 25,000 metres of diamond drilling in excess of 130 holes. An initial exploration program is planned by the Company as soon as spring weather conditions allow. Subject to favourable results from this initial program and the receipt of all necessary permits, a drill program is likely to be carried out in the fall of 2011.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unexpected geological factors, exploration results, results of verification work and unanticipated regulatory obstacles.

It's what we do! "Longform Improvisation" is mostly teams of players doing approximately 25-minute sets of scenes based off of one suggestion from the audience. Oftentimes it looks like a montage of interrelated scenes. "Shortform Improvisation" is the kind of improv you see on Whose Line Is It Anyway. Sometimes we love to do it, but it's not our main focus. If you want to know more, a Google search of either term will send you down a rabbit hole of nerdom that may be worthwhile or may be a total waste of time.
Every show is $6 unless otherwise noted. All shows, with few exceptions, are free to Improv Shop students and performers.
Advanced tickets can be purchased through our Calendar page. Click the date you want, and the specific event at the bottom of the page. Tickets can also be purchased at the theater on show nights when doors open at 7 PM. All shows start at 8 PM. We recommend getting there by 7:30 to get good seats.
No. We may ask for audience suggestions, but that's about it. You will never be forced to do something if you don't volunteer, and we won't single you out. We think that's annoying.
We leave that up to your discretion. Our shows should be considered Rated R for potential language and adult situations. Realistically, 17 is probably the minimum age.
Why yes we do. We have a full service kitchen and an assortment of appetizers of sandwiches on our menu.
We have our own parking lot to the east of our building.
First, take the classes. Then either audition for a show or our Harold program. If you don't like auditioning or want to do your own thing, form a team (after studying with us) with people you like performing with. Practice a lot. Then look for opportunities (ie. Cagematch or The Bunker) to perform at The Improv Shop. There's also other opportunities that spring up around town. Perhaps consider joining the Facebook group "Saint Louis Improv" to hear about stuff going on
Regardless of experience, we start all students off in Level 1. We feel that our training center has a specific thrust that is valuable to performers of all experience levels. We also place a heavy focus on ensemble, and giving it time to build throughout the training process is critical.
Level 0, the optional level for total beginners that may even suffer from stage fright, is $150 for 6 weeks. All other Levels are $215 for 8 weeks; however, L1 has an early registration discount and all levels are discounted for full-time high school and college students. Please look at the class registration page for more specific details.
To request a payment plan for classes, you can send an email to email@example.com with "Payment Plan" in the subject line. We cannot guarantee that all requests will be honored.
If you're under 18, we'll want to get your parents or guardian's permission. We've certainly had mature high schoolers in the program, but our classes are uncensored and focused around an adult experience.
We do not offer refunds on class registrations. However, we can hold your registration payment which you can apply to any future class session.
Maybe. It usually depends on theater availability. We absolutely love to try to do these kinds of events when they spring up. Just send us a message via our custom events page or email email@example.com to discuss the potential.
Yes. We love to! Just send us a message via our custom events page or email firstname.lastname@example.com to set it up.
Email our general manager, Andy Sloey, at firstname.lastname@example.com, and he should be able to help you.

Toys R Us plans to launch its own tablet computer aimed at children called Tabeo on Oct. 21, a low-priced entry into the increasingly crowded tablet business.
The news comes ahead of the holiday season, which can account for up to 40 percent of retailers' annual sales. Toys R Us has focused on exclusive toys rather than discounts as it faces tough competition from online retailers like Amazon.com and discounters like Wal-Mart Stores .

The Joint Force Training Centre (JFTC) has just conducted its second training for the NATO Advisory and Liaison Team (NALT). The event took place from 3 to 6 October 2017 in Kosovo's capital, Pristina, and aimed at preparing advisors deployed to support the NATO mission in Kosovo for their roles of advising and assisting Kosovo Security Forces (KSF) and the Ministry of KSF (MKSF).
In 2016, JFTC assumed a leading role in developing training for the newly established NATO Advisory and Liaison Team. With its vast experience in planning and executing pre-deployment training for the Resolute Support (RS) mission, JFTC was a natural choice to take responsibility for the task. After refocusing and adapting the RS training concept to the Kosovo NALT mission, the first event of this type was held in March 2017.
The main NALT tasks include advising, assisting, liaising and coordinating with security organizations in Kosovo in order to support their further development focused on capacity building, education and training domains. Quick assimilation and understanding of the multitude of MKSF/KSF policies and procedures are the main challenges for the new NALT advisors. Learning how to advise in a foreign culture is another demanding task. The training supported by JFTC mobile training team, led by Colonel William Nemeth, JFTC Training Division Head, gave the NALT advisors a proper grounding in their roles in Kosovo.
The four-day training package delivered by JFTC and NALT subject matter experts consisted of two parts. Academic training focused on the history and culture of Kosovo and its security institutions, SFA principles as well as an understanding of the multitude of international organizations and bi-lateral partnerships also working in the region. The final two days of training consisted of practical training where each person conducted role play with a simulated counterpart using an interpreter. The trainees were also exposed to language training (Albanian and Serbian) as well as advanced influencing and negotiation techniques.

The Colorado Rockies invade their NL West neighbors from Los Angeles tonight as the teams open a three-game set. Let's review the MLB odds and keep our white hot season moving forward.
Yesterday I included the Baltimore Orioles in my MLB Picks and, truth be told, I wasn't feeling all that confident after watching the Yankees' pitchers shutdown the O's potent offense right up until the eighth inning. The score was 1-0 and Baltimore finally threatened with two men on and one out, until the rains came to delay the game. Ultimately the teams trotted back on the field and the O's rallied for a 3-1 victory.
I cashed my fourth consecutive winner and am now hitting almost 66 percent of my plays this season. At this moment the gambling gods are smiling upon us so we must make the most of this run while it lasts. Let's keep it going tonight! Colorado Rockies (25-31, -3.3 units) Colorado snapped their four-game losing streak yesterday with an offensive explosion as they avoided a series sweep at the hands of the San Diego Padres with a 10-3 victory.
Carlos Gonzalez smashed a pair of two-run bombs to lead the offensive charge. The Rockies own one of the most prolific offenses in all of baseball with the 3rd ranked team batting average (.271), 5th in runs scored (282), 7th in on base percentage (.329) and 2nd in slugging percentage (.457).
Right-hander Tyler Chatwood (6-4, 2.99) is slated to start the opener of a three-game series as the team travels to Los Angeles this evening.
Chatwood last pitched on Wednesday and was installed by the MLB Odds makers as a towering -200 home favorite over the lowly Cincinnati Reds but his ineffective performance sent all those chalk eaters home with a chunk out of their bankroll as he surrendered five runs on eight hits in five plus innings of work in the 7-2 loss.
The 26-year-old is 3-5 when starting against the Dodgers with an ERA of 3.68 and a WHIP of 1.500. Los Angeles Dodgers (31-27, -3.1 units) It was no surprise that the Dodgers beat up the worst team in baseball over the weekend and they punctuated their series sweep of the Atlanta Braves with a 12-6 victory yesterday afternoon.
Young shortstop Corey Seager nailed a pair of fastballs into the bleachers for his 13th and 14th home runs of the season while Yasmani Grandal deposited a three-run shot to add to the lead. However, offense has not been the Dodgers' strong suit this season as evidenced by their ranking in the bottom third of the league in team batting average (.237), on base percentage (.311) and slugging percentage (.382).
Surprisingly though, LA is ranked 13th in runs scored this season with 252 on the year. The Dodgers' Mike Bolsinger (1-2, 4.20) takes the bump tonight against Colorado as he looks to build on a solid effort in his last start where he allowed just two runs on two hits in five innings of work that resulted in a 2-1 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Stadium.
The 28-year-old has traveled back and forth this season between triple-A Oklahoma City and the big club and is 1-1 when starting against the Rockies in his career with an ERA of 5.40 and a WHIP of 1.650. Betting Analysis LA has gotten a burst of offensive muscle recently thanks to young guns Corey Seager and Trayce Thompson (brother of Golden State's standout Klay Thompson).
They have injected a big spark in this Dodgers lineup and did much of the damage yesterday in LA's win over Atlanta. But how much longer that surge will last is anyone's guess because Big Blue's lineup has not been potent this season and any success they have had this season must be credited to their pitching staff.
But pitching is not an advantage here as the home team will face the best road pitcher in all of baseball in Colorado's Tyler Chatwood. Chatwood gave up just one earned run over his last two starts combined before Wednesday's ineffective performance at home against the Reds. But he is back on the highway tonight where he has been a stone-cold killer as evidenced by his 4-0 road mark with a league-best 0.53 ERA and hasn't allowed a home run in his five starts away from Coors Field.
In addition, the Rockies offense is more dangerous and will face a part-time major leaguer in Mike Bolsinger. Let's go with the road pup here and continue our torrid - and money-making - pace.

CATFISHING TOURNAMENTS: How to Enter a Catfishing Tournament?
Catfish tournaments are gaining popularity among sport fishermen throughout the US and are steadily progressing in recent years. Anglers have become conscientious about the resource and practice catch and release and promote the sport through catfishing tournaments. If you like to catfish and have a little bit of a competitive edge, catfishing tournaments may be just what you're looking for.
1st step is to find a tournament in your area or region. You can accomplish this a few different ways.
1. Google (catfishing tournaments in your state or region)
2. USCA has active and up to date information by state. Find local events in your state.
3. American Procatters has up to date information on regional and national events.
Once you have found a tournament that may interest you, call the tournament coordinator and get a feel for the type of tournament they will be conducting. There are three types of tournaments that you can find in most states throughout the US. Depending on your level of interest, there is a tournament for you.
1. Local buddy tournaments/ throw togethers: These tournaments are often started by a group of local guys that like to fish tournaments but there was nothing in their area to fish.
The local buddy tournaments are pretty laid back, when you arrive at the tournament location you may be just looking for a couple guys standing around there truck or boat with clip boards taking registrations. These tournaments are great starter tournaments but can be just as challenging and competitive as any other tournaments. The entry fee on these tournaments is usually under 100.00 and can be a great learning experience if you plan on stepping up a notch. Depending on the interest in your area, these local tournaments you can expect 10 to 30 participants or boats.
2. Regional and annual events: Once you arrive at the tournament destination you will probably notice that other anglers are showing up also, look for a place to park your rig and begin looking for the registration location. Most well run regional tournaments will have a very noticeable designated area with a table set up along with sponsor banners for registration and information. These tournaments are generally ran by organized clubs that are actively promoting the sport of catfishing and holding events on several bodies of water throughout a certain region. Members will follow a regional trail to compete for points to recognize top anglers for angler of the year bragging rights. A good regional trail will draw 20-50 boats or more and the entry fee can exceed 100.00
3. National tournaments: you approach these well organized catfishing tournaments a little differently than the other tournaments. The concept is the same as any tournament, but the registration and entry is handled a different way because of the large number of anglers that will follow the trail from one area of the country to another on several bodies of water throughout the US.
National trails will require some travel time, hotel time, and some practice time for those who haven't ever seen the tournament waters. Anglers fishing these national events will start pulling in to these towns 2-3 days before the tournament to get familiar with the body of water and find a pattern or method that will catch quality catfish that will allow them to compete with some of the best cat anglers in the nation. Entry fees for these events can exceed 200.00 and can be pre paid with a check or credit card in advance, however they will accept entries the night before the event at the mandatory captains meeting at a designated site, generally it will take place at the host hotel.
It will not matter which type of tournament you fish, all tournaments large or small will have a waiver attached to the entry form exempting them from any mishaps that may occur during tournament hours. This waiver must be signed when registering.
After registering you will receive a boat number, this number will indicate the position in which you will take off. The number you received will indicate the number in which you registered. First come first served. The tournament director will call out numbers for the tournament morning blast off in a timed order from number one to whatever, until all the boats are released. When your number is called your free to go fishing.
Live well check: Once you're registered in local and regional tournament you will need to get a live well check, which most all tournaments will require this before you launch your boat, a flag or sticker will be placed on your boat as a confirmed check. Be sure you have one. This just keeps everybody on the up and up. The national trails will very seldom require a live well check because they will give polygraph test to the top finishers along with some ransoms.
Live well requirements: most all catfishing tournaments are catch and release.
Whether they are at a local or national level, they will require all fish to be alive at the time of the weigh-in. a proper live tank is essential to maintain five healthy fish for a long period of time.
Your live tank should be able to accommodate the size fish you will be catching. example … if your fishing in waters that just support channel cats you can get away with a 40-60 gallon live tank, if your fishing in waters that trophy blues inhabit you will need a much bigger live tank, 80-125 gallons. The live tank should be equipped with a recirculation pump and a spray bar for aeration, other products on the market that go above and beyond a spray bar, sporting features such as filtration, purification and aeration.
Blast off:
Once you're registered and have had your live well checked, you're ready to launch your boat. Anglers will be hovering around the launch site awaiting their number to be called at the official tournament start time. You are free to go fishing when your number is called.
Weigh in:
Just as there is an official start time there is also an official stop time also. Anglers must be in the weigh-in line or launch site by a certain time to avoid disqualification. All fish to be weighed must be alive and is compliant with all state and local laws, meaning size limits. When it's your turn to weigh your fish, tell the tournament director your boat number and start off loading your catch in the designated weighing containers provided. In most local and regional tournaments the weight is documented and the fish are returned back to your live tank to be taken back to the body of water and released. The national tournament trails will have someone to return the fish for you. Once the last angler weigh's in, the weights are reviewed and a winner is determined by the most weight.

The parcel slip is tucked against the front door of my cottage, a white ticket against the green iron panes.
"Please call at Counter No. X for a packet too large for private box/street delivery - Zimbabwe Posts and Telecommunications Corporation."
I've always loved getting parcels. For nearly two years now, my friends and family have faithfully sent out brown paper packages to remind me in Zimbabwe of them, and of home.
They're not big parcels. Our communal letter box - which serves at least 20 other people - is the size of a bird nesting box, so any mail larger than a telephone bill has to be picked up at the post office.
They're not valuable, either: sometimes parcels go missing. But when I open them, I'm invariably delighted by the sender's ingenuity.
My friend Claire, now a busy Spanish lecturer in northern England, sends packets of vegetarian spread. "I know you can't get them over there," she writes. Smelling them, I'm immediately transported to the windy steps of our university library where we used to meet for lunch several times a week, sandwiches in hand.
Jenni, a scriptwriter in Italy, sends me Italian shampoo and deodorant. I think of her when I use them and of the language courses we took together in Florence when we were 20. We stayed in a carpetless pensione - the stuff of "Room With a View" - just a street away from the River Arno.
My little sister sends me mascara and a skirt she got on discount during her Saturday morning job in a clothes shop in Bond Street, London. She says it's in memory of the times I used to send her "treats" from Paris, where I worked soon after finishing my degree.
Mum sends me "mum" things - a dish towel decorated with birds for my bird-mad husband, a flea collar for our kitten, and new toothbrushes on a (very) regular basis.
Mum's always been worried about the state of her children's teeth. When there's no more toothpaste, she's warned me, worried by news reports of widening shortages in the country, just use ash. Thankfully, that's one gem of maternal advice I haven't had to try out yet.
But it's Mum's friends who've been the biggest surprise.
I never really noticed them before. Mum's friends were always there in the background, their children and their husbands slipping in and out of my life during conversations over the family dinner table.
To me, I have to admit, they were the "gray ladies" - not just because they were mostly silver-haired, but also because they were shadowy figures whom I knew, but never really got to know.
Now, Mum's work colleague of 15 years and her two daughters collect trial packets of posh hair conditioner and face cream to send me, worried by Mum's reports of a life far from luxurious.
Auntie Iona packs up dehydrated soya mince and rosehip teabags. Pat sends me jelly packets and marshmallow chocolate powder. "Never tried it myself so hope you like it," she writes on a tiny handpainted notelet.
Auntie Elizabeth e-mails to tell me of life back in the English town where I spent most of my school years. "So far we have not had it too cold though we do have a harsh nip in the air come 4 p.m.," she says in her last dispatch.
I read words like these from the heat of an African summer, my second Christmas in the tropics just weeks away. It'll also be my second Christmas away from my family, those I love and miss, and friends I didn't know I had.
But their carefully packed parcels keep us close. And Mum has promised to try to send some Christmas pudding.

I have been searching for sites that offer high quality eBooks that students can read both in the classroom and at home.
I recently came across Oxford Owl. Have you seen this site? It currently offers 250 eBooks on a wide variety of topics. These books range from early emergent texts to books at the second grade level. There's a great mix of literary and informational texts.
Here are some sample pages from a higher level informational book:
This collection of 250 tablet-friendly books is completely free! All you have to do is go to the site and register. To get started, click here.
Some of these books would be great to project on a SmartBoard and share as read alouds. I'm also thinking this is an amazing collection of texts for independent reading, both at home and at school.
I hope you enjoy these books as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by!
:) Anne

Sorry that I've been tardy, but my wife, Lori, had me doing the heavy lifting stuff trying to finalize the move-in process. I get pretty tired early on in this game.
I'll start radiation and chemo this coming Tuesday. I'll be getting Oxaliplatin and Flourouracil (5-FU) as the chemo. I have sighting targets on my chest, rib cage, etc, and look somewhat I'd probably appear on a combat range - forgive me, as I'm still a hunter and shooter.
Every doctor I've met in the past 6 weeks think that I'm a fighter. I know that I am and I'll lick this scourge! Cooking for my wife, she can't make hardboiled eggs, is another deal. I just have to smell it and enjoy, if I can, and then go back to my Ensure and ice cream.
Bless you all for giving me the moral support and sheer guts to push onward. My Our God contine to smile on you.

Hi Mike,
Sep 06, 2009 - 10:35 pm
You didnt mention but do you all have kids? just wondering. Are you still working? just asking so I can give you some insight on things, every bit helps.
I will be saying prayers and thinking of you even if I am working I still think of all my cancer friends daily.
Take Care
Lori aka MOE
ps Hope you have been keeping up on my post from beginning to end.
Sep 07, 2009 - 9:47 pm
First, I, too have squamous cell and am classed by my primary oncologist as T2N1Mx (x for unknown) based on my last PET/CT scan. My radiologist/oncologist classes it at T3N1M0. I'm just ready to get on with the gettin'on.
The photo of me and 'Old Notchtail' was from spring 2008. I had patterned this particular turkey for about 2 months but it was a big surprise when I got him. I was wearing shorts, tee shirt and sneakers just going up to a military facility to say good by to an old friend who was camping there.
I am under 4 months from my 60th birthday, and have 2 daughters and a son, who all live on Long Island. All from a prior marriage.
I spent my misguided youth on a 29 year continuous active duty career in the Coast Guard; 12 years enlisted and 17 years commissioned as an electronics engineering officer. I retired from that career in 1998 and worked as a mid-level engineering executive for a long distance company and as a field engineer for radio/antenna systems. My present employment with a native Alaskan company as a telecommunications engineer is on an indefinate medical hold. I specialize in certifications of secure communications systems on combat ships. I hold a current inspector's licensing credential from Navy Space and Warfare Systems Command to perform this level of work.
I am a permanently disabled Veteran, active in Disabled American Veterans, National Rifle Association, Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association.
I have had a number of friends/acquaintenances from all areas of the country contract different cancers - the only thing in common with all of us was our career path in the military; all of us have a number of years experience being exposed to high energy ionizing and electromagnetic radiation. The military reportedly knew of this in the early 1980's but it wasn't widely distributed until 1997.
I have a lenghty biological and engineering report that was tailored to me concerning this effect. It can be emailed to any interested party, but the recepient should have a highspeed connection as it is a 5.54MB .pdf.
I have worked in 14 foreign countries, lived in 3 of them, been 3/4 way around the world but never below the Equator nor north of the Arctic.
I have been married to Lori for the last 24 years. She remains on active duty with the Coast Guard and is stationed at the CG's global pay center in Topeka. We live in a log home in rural Kansas with our 2 dogs, Bailey Moondance, an English Labrador and Princess Blue Ridge, a Welsh Pembroke Corgi.
I am very greatful to all on this discussion board. You keep my 'fire' burning within.

First of all, I want to thank you for your insight into this disease and for your inspriational messages. I read and digest each and every one.
Yes, I survived my first week of radiation and chemo. I have experienced neuropathy from the oxaliplatin due to cold contact. They weren't kidding about that! Just getting an Ensure out of the fridge is now a high speed process. When I go back today for another radiation treatment, I'm also going to get my 'new companion,' my 5FU pump checked to make sure it's operating properly. It's on a 7 day schedule. My radiation and chemo is for pre-op treatment.
When I first was told of my cancer, I went through the denial, remorse, regret emotions in a microsecond and I remain in the aggressive treatment mode. I recall my first words were, "Let's get going and kill this thing."
While I was waiting in the ICU (out-patient) for the portable x-ray after my "Power Pick" line was placed, one of the chaplains came through, recognized my name and face and visited for about 5 minutes. I had first met him on the day I was diagnosed. He remembered that I live on a large Corps of Engineers reservoir known for its crappie fishing. I just told him that we'd set a date next spring and I'd kidnap him for a day on the water. Now I have to get a boat!
The fact not withstanding, I'll probably not get to do any hunting this fall even though the generous citizens of Kansas have given me a free hunting and fishing license as a permanently disabled veteran. I conceptually could hunt about 50 yards out my back door in the direction of the uninhabitted areas. Don't know if I'll be strong enough for that, but I remain optomistic and hopeful. Maybe I'd even be able to eat that wild game by then!
When I returned from the hospital last Friday, there were 7 wild turkeys in my rock garden next to my back deck; they knew that my dogs were inside the house. As I write this, they are just across the road from the front of the house.
Concerning your friend with stage IV EC and Agent Orange, I would strongly urge them to speak with a Disabled American Veteran National Service Officer. Go to www.dav.org for the location, contact information and their insight into dioxin exposure.
My report was compiled by a couple of retired CG friends of mine with the same career path and have their own share of medical issues. One of them has been researching the then unknown or uninformed hazards of high energy ionizing radiation; alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray energy all uncontrolled and unshielded. My report was tailored specifically for me, but I know that they are preparing a new report with specific names removed. The report is over 50 pages and is in .pdf format. It is emailable at 5.54 Mb or I can burn it to a CD. It is footnoted and contains all scholarly citations and attributes. It is very high power LORAN-C specific.
Now, for your grandson. I must first say that bouy deck operations is exceedingly dangerous, so always be aware of conditions, surroundings and everything going on aroud you. Advancement; first don't make any hasty decisions. Speak with all sorts of people in different job fields to determine the pros and cons of each one. Don't ignore the officers as they all have their own different specialties. Keep your eye on post service/career marketability. Narrow down the list and select a job field or rate that is not stagnant, as some are notorious for that trait.
He should emulate a 'sponge' for knowledge and information. Don't just perform some task or function, but fully understand the rationale for it and the cost-benefit of it. Once in a job field, seek out new related opportunities and get as much cross-training in related disciplines as possible. Stay related both to the job and to the community outside. The Coast Guard can be a very closed society if one lets it.
Lastly, your grandson has joined a very old and proud organization rich in tradition. Keep one thought paramount: Reach Higher!
A full career in that organization is not for everyone, but it was the best single thing I've done with my life. It's arduous, physically and mentally hard and it does take a toll on some families. Maintain a semblance of balance and take time for yourself. Should he wish, he may contact me by email at email@example.com.
Thanks you for the kind cajoling!

Lori, keep your faith and positive attitude you will need it no matter how bad Mike gets, and trust when they have Chemo, they do and say stuff they never did before I don't know how long you all have been together but know if Mike does stuff he never has before its the Chemo not him, He will do and say all kinds of stuff he doesn't mean but know I am here if you need to vent or have any questions. Been there done that.
Mike, I wish you luck and please know I will be thinking of you

I to have been subjet to the cranky chemos, It hurts your feelings at first but after awhile you do know that it's not them it's the chemo. I thought how would I feel if I had
Being a caregiver is not easy, but I wouldn't want to be any place else but by his side.
God Bless & Keep all of you.
Sep 08, 2009 - 8:07 pm
Well you are so right pre kranky chemo, but all of you hang in there and kath said it right being a caregiver I wouldn't be anywhere but by their side. Its just a BUMP in the road as our beloved Kitten says.
Remember prayers is important.
