Just when you thought it was safe to get on the internet again, we've suddenly reached the point where it's time to go "One Step Beyond," and for those of you who think you've seen or heard it all, get out your passports, because we're crossing the border again, and this time our destination is "Weirdsville, Mexico." The name of this film is "Arañas Infernales" and that roughly translates into "Blue Demon vs The Ugly Wrassler Guy Whose Hand Turns Into A Deadly Spider When He's Not Punching You With His Other Hand."
They not only used 'spaceship' footage from "Plan 9 From Outer Space" but also from "Teenagers From Outer Space" as in this screwy spaceship scene!
Hands changing into "Hellish Spiders" or snakes always bring out the best screams!!
As some kind of ultimate bizarre torture, they strapped this guy down and made him listen to AM Mexican radio turned up to 13! Luckily Blue Demon was right around the corner!
Every second that Blue Demon spends in the Balloon Galaxy, he has a look of utter disbelief on his face, even under the mask!!!!
Unlike a lot of the other Blue Demon movies with the cool, jazzy sounds of El Klan, this film only has static and stuff for outside music, BUT, it's got an ugly wrassler guy whose hand turns into a deadly spider!!!! Yow!!! Jorge Pérez gets the credit for the music, he'd been working as a composer in Mexican films since 1938 and in the 60's worked almost exclusively on Wrestling and Horror films, including a host of "Santo" flicks!

The 75th anniversary last year was a landmark in PFA's history and was truly international in scope. Great effort was made to document it and report on its many activities in the Dental World. It has been a real honor to be aboard this great organization at such a monumental time. There is also a lot of change ahead as the profession is linked even more through digital communications and social media that is changing the landscape of publishing. I would love to hear from you about your ideas for articles, historical topics, and features you would like to see on the Fauchard.org website and in the Dental World.
The January-February issue of Dental World is now being printed and will be mailed out in early February. The March-April issue is now in the editing and layout process.
We are now accepting articles for the Dental World issue to be published in the July-August 2012 Dental Abstracts journal.

Position: Fifth Grade Reading & Writing Teacher
School: Slaughter Elementary School
School District: Jefferson County Public Schools (Louisville, KY)
City, State: Louisville, Kentucky
About the Nominee: Angie Hilbert has been teaching for 16 years and will tell you herself that she still loves to come to work every day. She brings so much energy, experience, patience and expertise to the classroom. Writing is one of the most difficult subjects for many teachers to teach, but Mrs. Hilbert makes it look like a piece of cake! Students feel capable in her classroom, and they have many opportunities to be creative and write about things they care about. She helps students set goals for themselves and pushes them towards their full potential. One of the most clear examples of her impact happened the week of her nomination. While sitting at a table group with other students, one student excitedly exclaimed, "I LOVE writing. It's so fun!" This was not just any student. This was a student who struggled since starting kindergarten. This was a student who would play and distract themselves, barely writing one sentence without lots of prompting. Today, this student can routinely write one hundred words in ten minutes because of the solid, positive, encouraging instruction they've received from Mrs. Hilbert.
The teachers and students at Slaughter Elementary face many challenges. Over 90% of students are eligible for free and reduced lunch, and roughly 50% of students spoke another language before they learned to speak English. Mrs. Hilbert has met each challenge with a smile and lots of love. She is a shining example of a LifeChanger!

Our weekend started off with a little family trip to our favorite skate shop, Subsect.
Subsect, Ichi Bike and the ever so lovely Domestica were hosting a most radical Gnarbecue. Barbecue, skating, plus Subsect had a Vans rep at the shop.
Bo caved and got the Hello Kitty, I snuck out back for a gnarbecued hot dog off the grill, and our pal Kevin covered Lo's new board with clear grip tape.
Meanwhile, we chatted with the Vans rep (we're a pretty loyal Vans family) and got hooked up with some pretty sweet gear. (I'm loving the wallet and sunglasses ... yess!)
Now this kid is ready to shred.
Then Bo and I went to Val Air to see Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson and House of Pain.
And on and off for the rest of the weekend, you could find me watching Coachella live, right here. I think you can click on video archives to see past performances (Someday, I will go.)
How was your weekend?

Pasote Blanco
Pasote Blanco
Aztecs were among the most loyal, ferocious fighters in history. Victories and sacrifices were celebrated by drinking the sacred agave plant. This pasote spirit lives on in our matchless Jalisco Highlands tequila. Distilled with pure rainwater, natural spring water and agave grown personally by our master tequilero, this liquid art is distinctively herbal and incredibly pure. From the guerreros who guard each bottle to the exacting effort put into its content, we are certain you will revel in our tribute to warriors everywhere.
Rewards agave lovers with the ripe essence of the plant itself, roasted to perfection to bring out its herbaceous depths. A deeper sniff reveals fragrant undertones of bright citrus.
Utterly clean and clear, with an exquisitely soft mouthfeel, the first impression of this beautifully balanced agave tequila is that you're drinking liquid light. Crisp, zesty citrus dominates the foreground, unfolding mid-palate to pure succulent blue agave. A surprisingly long finish that's decidedly clean. The distinctive agave taste deliciously lingers on, flecked with hints of white pepper.

Find Your Values, Find Your Brand
Using core values as a guidepost, every nonprofit can have an effective brand-no matter its size or budget.
It's easy for organizations to lose track of their branding efforts over time, or fail to establish a solid brand identity to begin with. We figured Spring might be just the time to do some organizational soul searching and solidify your unique brand.
Imagine you want to donate to a community-based organization in your city. You know of two—Main Street Community Services and Broadway Community Services—and you need to decide who you'd like to support.
You call Main Street Community Services and ask the receptionist to tell you a little bit about the organization. She is warm and friendly, and she tells you that Main Street Community Services is responsive to community needs and provides innovative solutions to meeting them, then gives you several specific examples of their programs that illustrate how the organization is responsive and innovative. When you visit the Main Street Community Services website, it is well designed and professional, and you see more examples of how they have been responsive to community needs and innovative in their approach to solving them.
When you call Broadway Community Services, the receptionist is also friendly, but he simply lists the organization's programs for you, which are similar to Main Street Community Services programs. When you visit the Broadway Community Services website, you see a list of their programs and general information, but the information is a bit disorganized and comes off as unprofessional.
You decide to contribute to Main Street Community Services. But why did these two organizations seem different, when their mission and services are the same? How did Main Street Community Services make these straightforward interactions so motivating?
Main Street Community Services had identified its core values through strategic planning and had committed to communicating this core feature of their identity in every interaction. They discussed these values frequently and at every level of the organization, from their staff to their board to their volunteers, and used them to make decisions and stay focused on their mission. Broadway Community Services may have identified very similar values if they had completed a strategic planning process—but because they didn't, they couldn't communicate them clearly to someone who wanted to support them.
The Big Bad Branding Discussion
Your organization's brand is its personality. You are communicating that personality all of the time, in every interaction, whether you intend to or not. When someone visits your website, interacts with your social media, receives a letter from you or talks to someone who represents your organization, they experience your brand.
Small nonprofits can sometimes be overwhelmed by the idea that they need to intentionally communicate their brand. In the fairly recent past, the concept of a brand was mainly associated with big corporations with large marketing budgets. In the online era, however, when the people who may support your organization often find it through a search engine, every organization, no matter how small, needs to know their brand and how to communicate it intentionally.
Fortunately, branding is actually pretty simple.
If you have planned strategically, people will walk away from interactions with your organization with perceptions that are in line with your core values—for example, Integrity, Compassion, Effectiveness. If you have not planned to communicate it, you may be presenting a personality that is way out of line with your organizational values. At worst: Disorganized, Inconsistent, Unprofessional.
When a donor, funder, or volunteer's first interaction with your organization will often be online, inconsistent branding is a killer. By dedicating just a day to understanding your core values, you can have a foundation for branding that will allow you to communicate clearly to these supporters exactly who you are as an organization.
6 Steps To Branding Your Small Nonprofit (in a one-day workshop)
Step 1: Put together your team
A brand development team should consist of five to fifteen people who represent every level of your organization. If you're very small and running on volunteer hours, your brand development team should include members of your board and representatives from volunteer programs who are deeply engaged with your organization. If you're larger, you should have board members, executive leadership, and line staff represented on your team. The more someone interacts with constituents (that is: funders, donors, or the people who use your services), the more important it is to have their voices at the table.
Designate a facilitator, and plan a full day meeting. Make sure you have a place to write your ideas, like a large paper pad with an easel, and bring snacks—or even lunch--to keep your team's energy up. They are doing very important work!
Step 2: Make sure the team knows the definition of a brand
The discussion at the beginning of this article may be enough. If you think they need more, try "Nonprofit Brands In The Age of Supporter Shift," or "Creating A Brand For Your Nonprofit," for brief primers on the work they'll be doing in this meeting.
Step 3: List your target audiences
Who are the people who help you meet your mission? Are they donors? Volunteers? Government agencies? People who use your services? In a group discussion, identify the top three groups of people who most need to understand and identify with your brand for you to successfully meet your mission.
For some organizations, the people who use their services are a key audience that deeply impacts their ability to meet their mission. Other organizations may rely more on the perceptions of donors, volunteers, or other audiences to be able to meet their mission.
Step 4: List every single one of your values, then narrow the list.
Have everyone at the table individually list the top five values they think drive or should drive the organization. Then, go around the table and say them out loud. Have your facilitator list all of them. If values come up more than once (and they probably will), the facilitator should note how many times they are mentioned.
Once you have every single value listed, start narrowing them down. Have the facilitator help you agree on which listed values go together, which are the most important, and what words best articulate the concepts you've all identified. End with a list of about five—but no more than ten—values.
Step 5: Find your points of interaction, and create an action plan
What are the primary ways your target audiences interact with your brand, or encounter you for the first time? If this happens mostly online, you may need to redesign your website to reflect your values and brand promise, or develop a social media strategy that aligns with them. If you regularly communicate with audiences through phone calls, you may ask your receptionist to consider her greeting and communication style in light of the brand platform.
In almost all cases, you'll need your logo to serve as an anchor for your brand values and promise—to make sure that, when people see your logo, they can attach your brand identity to it. If you don't know how to do that, a graphic designer does! And you now have exactly the tools he or she will need to give you a logo and visual identity that communicates—wordlessly—what you value as an organization, and what makes you special.
Step 6: Take action!
Make sure your branding work doesn't end at the meeting. You want these values and this promise to be communicated consistently, throughout the organization. Make sure every member of the organization has a copy of the brand values and brand promise. Keep talking about your brand. Keep thinking about your brand. Ask your constituents what they think about your brand. If you stay engaged with it, you'll be in control of how you're perceived as an organization

If you think that Mi Mix had an innovative design, Huawei has just launched an interesting device Huawei Honor Magic with curves on all eight sides. Interesting design is not the only talking point here, though. The phone comes with a lot of other interesting features too.
The special design that is curved at all the eight sides of the device is quite unusual and looks like straight out of future. We have seen the design of S7 Edge , Mi Mix , Sharp Corner R however, Huawei has taken the design on a phone several notches ahead.
Due to the symmetry on the Huawei Honor Magic, the SIM card slot, speakers, microphone and the charging port are located at the base of the smartphone. Letting the curved screen and back meet at the rose gold metal frame going around the body.
Specifications of Honor Magic
Powered by a 2.3GHz octa-core Huawei Kirin 950, the Huawei Honor Magic features a 5.09-inch 2K AMOLED curved screen with 577 ppi resolution. The Huawei Honor Magic sports a stylish and ergonomic design, with a 3D curved glass body. It comes with 32GB internal storage and 4G RAM.
Huawei Honor Magic comes with 12MP dual lens sensor with an f/2.2 aperture on the back, while an 8MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture takes care of the front camera part. The most important aspect here is that there is absolutely no camera bump on the back. It comes with a 2900 mAh battery with super fast charging technology which charges the phone up to 70% in 20 minutes, and 40% in 10 minutes.
The home button on the Huawei Honor Magic is dubbed as a "Magic Touch home button" that incorprates varous functions like single click for home, double click for multi-task panel and swiping for back and it replaces the the standard back and overview buttons present on any other phone
There are a lot of features that the Huawei Honor Magic has got on its softare part. Some of the amazing features of the Honor Magic Live system are given below:
- When you have Huawei Honor Magic in your hand, it will make a note of this and whenever you get a call, it will just vibrate and not ring.
- The phone can automatically light up the screen when you look at it as the Honor Magic can keep a track of your eyes.
- The Huawei Honor Magic can recognize its owner. So, if there's a new message, you can see the details of the message, but if anyone else takes a look at it, the phone will not reveal the details on the screen.
- If you are in the dark, the Honor Magic will sense this automatically and recommend flashlight app on the screen.
- Magic Live can bring up some useful information even while you are chatting. For example, if you someone asks you, where are you? the phone will offer the option to share your current location. Similarly, if you are chatting about your current weather, details about the same will be provided to you. Even if you talk about the weather of a different city, for example Beijing or Shenzhen, the Honor Magic's Live system is smart enough to bring you details about the same.
- Booking a movie ticket is super easy with its smart software. The magic live system can intelligently recommend current movies, if you are talking about movies in the chat. Also, if you are talking about booking, it can bring up relevant information as well as help in booking the ticket.
- If you have an unknown number calling you, the software is smart enough to bring you details about its previous history, if any.
- The smart software can also classify unread mails as promotions / advertisements / bills / meetings etc, based on the content of the mail. It can also create smart schedules for events that pop up via SMS or WeChat.
- The Magic Live is also a smart shopper. When you are about to shop on your smartphone, the phone will automatically show you the lowest price along with price comparisons among different shopping platforms. After you shop, it will smartly help you to store the tracking information in your 'My Favorites' page.
- If you want to get details about a particular travel destination, the Magic Live helps in that as well, by bringing you relevant pictures, reviews, weather etc. And you won't have to type a single thing as the assistant analyses specific keywords such as 'how about we travel to xx place' to sense that relevant travel information has to be brought up on the screen.
- There's even a Magic Auto which is in development (evolutionary version only) which will simplying using the phone while driving your car.
- Finally, it learns from you as you use it and becomes smarter at helping around in your daily tasks.
Pricing of the Huawei Honor Magic has no been revealed yet. While these are good signs in terms of innovation, these concept phones like Mi Mix or Huawei Honor Magic will not be sold outside China. Moreover, in practical scenarios, these phones are too fragile and difficult to handle. Have a look what happened to the Mi Mix that our friends at Phoneradar had with them. Also have a loot at the upcoming Bezel-less phones in 2017.

There is no such thing as a typical no-hitter, but this year it seems pitchers are going to extreme lengths for individuality.
Johan Santana broke the Mets' 8,019-game streak of not having a no-hitter; six Seattle Mariners pitchers combined to throw one; and Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox tossed a perfect game just a few years removed from being considered a major league bust. Measured against that group, Jered Weaver's no-hitter in May seems almost boring.
But on Wednesday night, Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants trumped them all, throwing not just a perfect game but also perhaps the second-greatest perfect game in baseball history.
Cain's 10-0 masterpiece against the Houston Astros was the first perfect game and 14th no-hitter in the Giants' 130-season history, which includes the efforts of the Hall of Fame pitchers Christy Mathewson, Carl Hubbell and Juan Marichal. Cain's performance was nothing short of stunning. His 14 strikeouts tied the perfect-game record set by Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 9, 1965, and he allowed just seven balls out of the infield.
Contrast Cain's performance to that of Humber, who threw his perfect game on April 21 against the Seattle Mariners. Humber struck out nine and had 13 flyouts. It is splitting hairs, but Cain's combination of 20 outs through strikeouts or ground balls was superior in the sense that he controlled more of the game's outcome.Continue reading the main story
The statistics guru Bill James developed a statistic called game score to evaluate pitching performances. It awards points for outs, innings and strikeouts and takes points away for hits, walks, runs and earned runs. By that measure, Cain's performance tied Koufax for the most dominant of the 20 modern-era perfect games with a score of 101.
Making game score controversial in the evaluation of no-hitters and perfect games is that it is a measure of dominance, not perfection. For instance, Nolan Ryan also scored 101 in one of the no-hitters he pitched, but he also allowed two walks, balanced out by his 16 strikeouts.
The highest game score came in a game that was neither a no-hitter nor a perfect game. Cain, Koufax and Ryan all trail Kerry Wood, who, as a Cub, struck out 20 Astros, walked none and allowed one hit on May 6, 1998, setting a nine-inning record with a game score of 105.
In Wood's masterpiece, the lone hit was a ground-ball single by Ricky Gutierrez. To trade one ground-ball single for six strikeouts gives Wood the edge in dominance, even if the performance lacked the romance of a pitcher remaining perfect.
The only knock against Cain's performance was the quality of his competition. While the 1965 Cubs were not a particularly good team, Koufax had to contend with Billy Williams, Ernie Banks and Ron Santo, a much more intimidating threesome than the light-hitting 2012 Astros can offer. Cain needed 125 pitches to complete the game, while Koufax needed just 107.
It is fitting that the competition for greatest perfect game would come down to a Dodger and a Giant; the teams have had a fierce rivalry since the 19th century, and by the narrowest margins Koufax does appear to have the edge on Cain.
If Cain and Koufax threw the most dominant perfect games, the least imposing in terms of game score was pitched by Addie Joss of the Cleveland Naps against the White Sox in 1908. In that game, Joss struck out just three batters, giving him a game score of 90. Individual game data is searchable on Baseball-Reference.com only since 1918, but in that time frame 639 starters have had a game score higher than Joss did in a nine-inning game. However, what Joss lacked in dominance in his perfect game he made up for in economy, needing just 74 pitches to get through nine innings.
The oddest of the perfect games was one of the two thrown before the modern era began in 1901. Lee Richmond of the Worcester Ruby Legs was perfect on June 12, 1880, but benefited greatly from the rules of the era. Richmond was throwing underhand from 50 feet away, and three times in the game an out was recorded on a foul ball that had bounced. The rule on bouncing foul balls being counted as outs was not changed until 1883.
Finally, on the same night that Cain was attaining perfection, R. A. Dickey of the Mets managed a game score of 95 by striking out 12 in a one-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays. The scoring decision on the base hit is being appealed by the Mets, but it is not likely to be reversed. For now, anyway, Dickey has the 79th-most dominant nine-inning performance of the last 94 years.Continue reading the main story

How 'Angels in America,' the Play That Redefined Modern Theater, Was Forged in the Bay Area
Isaac Butler and Dan Kois | Photo: Katy Raddatz/Museum of Performance and Design/Courtesy of Bloomsbury | April 5, 2018
A new book revisits the origins of Tony Kushner's masterpiece on the eve of its revival at the Berkeley Rep.
Playwright Tony Kushner's masterpiece, Angels in America, is not only one of the crowning achievements of 20th-century American theater: It is also perhaps the greatest work of art addressing the AIDS epidemic. A play in two parts totaling over six hours, Angels has an epic scope that was practically unheard of at the time of its 1991 premiere. In addition to launching the career of Kushner—who went on to win a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize for Angels—the play marked the beginning of the end for San Francisco's Eureka Theatre, which commissioned Angels and hosted the 1991 world premiere of its first part but failed to capitalize on that success and soon collapsed as an ambitious production company. This month, Tony Taccone, Eureka's former artistic director, will lead a revival at Berkeley Rep. In this excerpt from Isaac Butler and Dan Kois's definitive oral history of the production, The World Only Spins Forward: The Ascent of Angels in America (Bloomsbury), those involved with its conception recall the mad rush to stage the play and the anxieties that almost swallowed it.
Oskar Eustis (artistic director, 1988–89, Eureka Theatre): Tony [Kushner] has patience. And "patience" is, of course, a synonym for "blown deadlines."
Debra Ballinger Bernstein (executive director, Eureka Theatre, 1989–92): Spring [1991] was rolling around, we were in rehearsals. Tony hadn't finished Perestroika [the play's second part]. It was a nail-biter: Was it going to be done? Was it not going to be done?
David Esbjornson (director in the San Francisco production, 1991): I didn't have a script when I went into Perestroika rehearsal.
Tony Kushner: During that rehearsal period, someone on the [Eureka Theatre] board gave me their spider-infested cabin on the Russian River, and I went away for ten days—it was early April—and I sat down, and I started writing. And I wrote seven hundred pages of Perestroika in ten days—I just wrote the whole…three times as much as would ultimately be in it, all by hand. And it was literally like The Red Shoes—I could not stop writing. If I tried to go to sleep, I would wake up two minutes later and just go. And a lot of the best stuff that's in the play now was in that first draft.… And I'm not making this up: I got in the car to drive back, even though I hadn't slept in eleven days and I was literally shaking from exhaustion. I didn't have a computer—it was just a big stack of legal paper. And I thought, If I go off the cliff into the Pacific Ocean, no one will ever know what happened, so I have to be really careful.
Esbjornson: I say, "What are you doing here?" And he says, "I finished, Dave, it's done." It was like Moses coming down from the mountain!
Michael Ornstein (Louis in the San Francisco production, 1991): I don't remember a hell of a lot about the rehearsal process, but I remember the day Tony brought Perestroika in. Holy shit, man. I remember what I was drinking! I had my coffee and Tony had on a bright purple cotton hoodie. He sat down with this gigantic phone book, and he placed it on the table, and we all realized, Oh my God, that's the fucking script.
Esbjornson: We started at 10:00, and 6:30 came and went and we were still reading it.
Ornstein: It took us two days to read through the entire thing.
Harry Waters Jr. (Belize in the San Francisco production, 1991): I remember we were sitting there, reading the script for the first time, and Kathy Chalfant was just weeping because it was so amazing. How could anyone write this?
Kushner: In this seven-hundred-page really long version, there was a lot of shit. I mean, something with a homeless kid… A chauffeur?… God, there were, like, all these other characters. One of the reasons that I could write for days without stopping is I was just, "Nobody ever has to know what I've done here."
Dennis Harvey (San Francisco theater critic): By the time it opened, people were anticipating the great new thing of American theater.
Ellen McLaughlin (the Angel in the San Francisco production, 1991): There was no budget at all. We had about twenty dollars and fifty cents to spend on the entire set.
Esbjornson: I did finally just go, Oh shit. There was no money. It's not like you can just throw bodies and cash at it, you just have to do it.
Kushner: To this day, no one has ever done better with the magic. David is incredibly clever designing and building gizmos, so every magic trick in [Millennium Approaches, the play's first part], David figured out a way to do it. There was no money or anything. He built all this shit—it was incredible.
Kathleen Chalfant (Hannah in the San Francisco production, 1991): It was in some ways the most beautiful version of the play, and the most Poor Theater version of the play.
Harvey: They basically had a giant shower curtain in front of the stage. For scene transitions they would just whip the shower curtain across, one actor at the front and one at the back, and when they got to the other side it would be a new scene.
Jesse Green (theater critic, the New York Times): Ellen and I had gone to college together. She said, "You have got to come see this crazy thing I'm doing." I said, "Really? I'm kinda busy, what is it?" She said, "It's a two-part play and the first part is four hours and the second part isn't really done, but at least come to the first part and see what you think."... When it was over I knew I had to come back and see the second part.
Esbjornson: [For Perestroika] I made the actors hold the scripts in hand while they moved around. And then at one point in each act, they laid down their scripts and acted out what I considered to be the central point of that act.
McLaughlin: I came out late into the evening as the Angel wearing the wings and the whole get-up, stood in front of the curtain, and said, "Act 5: Heaven, I'm in Heaven."
And this woman in the front row said, "Act FIVE?! Oh my GOD! DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?!" And I said, "No." Because I honestly had no idea. It's not like I was wearing a watch. And she said, "It's MIDNIGHT, for God's sake! What's going on with this playwright? ACT FIVE? How long is it?"
And I said, "We've never done it so I don't know, maybe forty-five minutes?"
And she said, "The buses aren't even running anymore! How are we supposed to get HOME?" And she turns around to the rest of the audience and says, "Are we going to stay?" And people sort of nodded and mumbled and she says, "Well, I guess we'll stay, but I mean, really…" And then she said, "But that's the end, right? There isn't an Act 6 or something?"
And I said, "Well, there's an epilogue." And she said, "Oh my GOD, is he NUTS? An EPILOGUE? How long is THAT?" And I said, "Well, again, we've never actually run it, but…ten, fifteen minutes?" And she said, "Well, apparently we HAVE TO STAY, but this is RIDICULOUS, TELL HIM HE HAS TO CUT!" And then I said, "Well, the longer we keep talking here…"
Deborah Peifer (San Francisco theater critic): I think there might have been twenty-two acts. I'm exaggerating, but not by a lot.
McLaughlin: It was a 250-seat house, a warehouse, and we blew the roof off it night after night.
Ornstein: Normally when you do a new play, the house isn't full every night.… We had a line around the block every night. I got recognized. People would come up to me on the street. But it was a different way than normal. People would come up to me and hug me. And they would cry, you know? And they would say, "Thank you." They would ask me if I was OK.
Peifer: The play opened when we were still in the throes of the AIDS epidemic. But the play was filled with hope! And those were words we needed to hear. We needed to be told by these characters who matter to us: Look what we can do. Look what we can become. Look how we can change.

While on the plane and waiting for a "not-feeing well" passenger to de-board, we were talking about the number of ballparks we've seen games in. My total came to 10, including parks no longer in use. Ryan's tally was 4. We will each at 6 to our totals since neither of us have been to the ones we're scheduled to visit.

Customer Reviews
I love the texture, boatneck style and marled design of this sweater. It's thin but warm. I bought the last one in stock which was a size larger than what I usually wear so it occasionally slipped off my shoulders a la Flashdance. The body was a bit boxy but that could be because of the size. Perhaps it would've been more fitted if I bought my regular size. Still love it though!
I love riding more and working less. The products soon scotch and iron fit my lifestyle perfectly and everything I've bought so far is excellent quality. Even have my wife and kids rocking the brand now too.
Was a gift for my girlfriend & she loves it! Size is spot on.
I most recently bought this top and I absolutely love it! It's very soft and comfortable and it has quickly become one of my favorites to wear! My boyfriend and I love this brand!
I recently ordered 2 items for the holidays, a t-shirt for my boyfriend and a sweater for me. We are both very happy with the quality of the clothing and customer service provided by Russ! I love all the detail that went into the clothing (especially the shirt!) and I'm sure these items will be well worn by us for a long time. This isn't our first purchase, Max has one of your plaid shirts from a couple years ago and it's still a fave. Thanks Russ, we'll be ordering from you again...keep up the AMAZING work, one of the best moto brands out there!!!
Vonnie & Max

Is this how you want to spend your life--worrying about your body?
Did you ever learn about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?
The basic premise is that you have to take care of your basic needs and security before you can realize your full potential or even transcend your individual experience and live on a spiritual level.
The hierarchy generally goes something like this:
Physical needs ---> Safety ---> Love/Connection ---> Self-Esteem ---> Self-Actualization ---> Transcendence
When I was going through my recovery, I remember it hitting me like a ton of bricks that I couldn't get to self-actualization (living my full potential) or transcendence (experiencing life on a spiritual level) because I was still stuck down in the "basic" levels of physical security, safety, and self-confidence.
If you're struggling with food, you may still be trying to move past the first level--the most basic elements of survival--food, water, sleep, sex, etc.
Dieting is self-imposed starvation. You are literally eating less than your body needs to survive (that's why it's not sustainable and you repeatedly "fail"--your body doesn't want you to die). So, if your body and subconscious think you're on the brink of starvation, your most basic physical need isn't being met.
How could you fully love yourself, having meaningful relationships, make your mark on the world, and live your most fantastic life when you're literally just trying to survive?
No wonder you feel so unfulfilled, confused, and anxious.
I've totally been there, too. But once I realized what was going on and that I was just spinning my wheels in the bottom levels, it was suddenly intolerable. I HAD to move to the next level. I HAD to reach self-actualization and transcendence. There was no way I was wasting one more minute of this lifetime just trying to make peace with my physical self.
I was spending my time and energy worrying about my body instead of focusing on my relationships, my spirituality, and my professional potential. It was such a huge A-HA moment!
Tackling those higher areas of development IS scary. It IS much easier to focus on something simple and straightforward like changing your body. That's how we distract ourselves from having to face the big stuff--convince ourselves that nothing good can happen in our lives until we look better.
Yes, I want to look good and feel good. Feeling my best and taking care of myself is one of the ways I support my development. Changing the shape of my body has literally nothing to do with anything. It just doesn't matter anymore. That is true freedom.
Get the affirmations now!
A positive reminder and a little love in your inbox each morning for 30 days!

Orientation Week Activities
The Hart House Underwater Club was very pleased to join our fellow Hart House clubs and committees as we connected with new and returning students at on-campus events this fall.
Our kick-off event was the very popular Clubs' Fair, hosted by the University of Toronto Student Union, where we had a chance to chat and connect with many students at the St. George Campus.
We then had an amazing time hosting an immensely popular virtual scuba experience at Explore Hart House, where students could gear up and take a Scuba Selfie in front of a green screen.
It was very exciting to see that our Scuba Selfie activity got a mention in the Fall 2017 edition of the Hart House Quarterly Newsletter!

Massage therapy schools teach their students the most important and valuable lessons they can with the understanding that some things cannot be learned in a classroom.
One thing that can (and should) be taught at massage therapy school however, is that each student needs to focus on protecting their biggest asset: their own body.
In massage therapy schools around the world, plenty of students tire of being reprimanded by their instructors because of poor posture and body control issues. However, this could be one of the most important things one can learn because without a good back and dexterous control of the hands a massage therapist we cannot be. It is important to prevent injury on the job so this is a core component of good massage therapy school programs.
There are programs available to teachers at massage therapy schools who wish to learn the latest and greatest in injury prevention and protection. As with all things health related, new discoveries and methods are published each year and it is important for schools to stay on top of the newest information and industry trends. Not doing so could put the massage therapy school at a disadvantage in this highly competitive injury.
Students should ask their prospective massage therapy schools about injury prevention and protection training and inquire into whether or not faculty members are up to date on the latest information. Some organizations estimate that more than 75% of professional massage therapists report injuries received during the course of their work.
Proper body handling, posture, and technique can prevent most injuries in the profession, so students should verify that the massage therapy school is ready to teach techniques that are approved and work. Massage therapy schools that employ a certified injury prevention instructor are always preferred.

Mother Teresa, CEO: Unexpected Principles for Practical Leadership Hardback
by Ruma Bose, Lou Faust
This book details the leadership principles used by Mother Teresa in building one of the world's largest and most successful organizations, with this as its central lesson: leaders must articulate a simple vision, and execute it with absolute practicality.
Bose who spent eight months working with Mother Teresa in 1992-3 and Faust have distilled Mother Teresa's leadership style into nine essential principles.
Each principle shows readers how to apply Mother Teresa's wisdom in their lives and businesses. Much has been written about Mother Teresa. She is an actual saint, beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2003, as well as the winner of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, This book is the first to view her in another light as a pragmatic, realistic leader who over 47 years raised billions of dollars and helped millions of people.
This often meant making tough decisions-such as accepting a donation from Saddam Hussein.
This book has the principles that guided those decisions.
These are universal principles that can help any leader working to keep an organization on course and on mission.

Call me a cautious mom, but whenever I give Gray something to eat, I cut it up into bit size pieces...maybe its because of the mess..or maybe it's because I know that he will try to fit it all in his mouth at once!! So, with me being all relaxed and stuff while we were on vacation...I figured, what the heck...how much of a mess can he really make?
First of all, he loved it!
Second of all, I loved it too!!

Remember the school times when kids used to fight with other kids over tiffin? We guess yes! Now do you remember when Bengal and Odisha were locking horns over the geographical indication of delicious rasgulla? Well, Bengal won the battle and celebrated the victory with yummy rosugullas. While many would think that this battle over sweets was nothing but a waste of time, many hailed the victory. Just as the battle over rasgulla found a solution, internet witnessed another 'battle of sweets', this time with the sweet Mysore pak.
So, currently Tamilians and Kannadigas are fighting over the geographical indication of Mysore pak. Well, if you are active on social media, you would have seen many posts where people are arguing that which state does Mysore pak belongs to. The social media has been taken over with people fighting over this. And it was in no time that some major publications also picked the story, and the topic became the talk of the town. But, the question was where did this all fuss begin from? Well, a Twitter user posted a sarcastic post over Mysore pak and the people went crazy. The post which is said to be the reason behind all this social media fuss read, "Tamilians were seen posting an unverified quote from British officer Lord Macaulay in the Indian Parliament in 1835. Macaulay said, "One of my best friends from Bangalore told me that Mysore pak was invented by the people of Madras. Tamilians have been making Mysore pak for years but, 74 years ago, a lawyer belonging to the Wadiyer family from Mysuru stole the recipe. The king then named the dish as 'Mysore pak'."
In you think this was not the end of some unverified news catching up the heat, well you are wrong. Many furious Kannadigas countered the post by saying, "Mysore pak was first introduced by a chef from Mysuru called Kakasura Madappa who was working as a master chef for the Wadiyers. While cooking, Madappa tried mixing sugar, ghee and gram flour. He then gave it a shape and this sweet came to be called Mysore pak." Just so you are wondering, the fight over Mysore pak has still not found any ground yet and the battle continues.
What's funny is that the Twitter user, whose post began this fight, later came out and said that it was pure 'sarcasm'. Guess, we are too free to 'fight' on social media rather than addressing the issues which have some importance. Fight over food is something which is never justifiable until and unless it is satiating the hunger.

I'm going to try to paint a picture for you…
Imagine you see a very normal looking, early 20's girl get out of her car in a Walmart parking lot on Christmas Eve.
Now imagine you saw that she's parked in a handicapped space. What would be your first thought?
Some old people driving by, thought that there couldn't possibly be a reason for a young girl to have a handicap plate. PLATE, not tag. PLATE. They, considerably annoyed that they missed out on the front row spot, preceded to yell out the window "OH SHE LOOKS MENTALLY HANDICAPPED TO ME!!"
What they didn't know, is that young girl almost died months prior. That she could only walk about 5 feet before having a really hard time moving. That she relied on that shopping cart for mobility.
They didn't know her WHY.
It was none of their business.
Now imagine that same girl out at the Dallas Bull with her best friends. When they wanted to go to the second floor, they had to use the elevator because she couldn't get up the stairs.
The elevator guards, looking for a reason to make sure they were not just trying to use the elevator, wait for a response. Her friends point to her. Guess what? That was ENOUGH. They rode the elevator. Week after week. While that girl, out at a bar with her friends, was re-learning to walk. What an accomplishment it was to be able to walk up and down those stairs.
What if I told you that girl…. was me.
I tell you my story, to remind you that you literally have NO IDEA what others are going through.
We all need to look at things from different perspectives…..
Let's keep painting.
Now, imagine a mom. That first time mom who has questions, and nobody else she can turn to for answers. This is the reason she is in a MOM GROUP.
She asks a question, and gets completely ATTACKED. I'm going to use the most popular reason for receiving this reaction to a question.
Now, imagine that same mom. She gave birth to beautiful twin babies, and after getting the vitamin K shot, one of those babies had trouble breathing. MAJOR trouble. The on-call pediatrician was called umpteen times that night while that mother, fighting to stay awake, feared for her baby's life.
That's what everyone does.
What about when that same mom brought her baby back to the pediatrician several times in between the normal appointments because of issues that are not normal?
What about listening to the pediatrician when they said it was ok to get more shots?
Guess where they ended up? IN THE HOSPITAL. A 2 week old baby. With a reaction to those shots.
That is this mom's WHY. And it's none of your business.
Another picture…
What about that 5/6/7 year old kid you see being pushed around in a stroller in the mall?
Is your first thought "that kid is a little old to be riding in a stroller…"?
What if that kid has MS, or Palsy and their parents can't afford a wheelchair?
What if the child is on the spectrum and that is the ONLY way to keep them comforted while their parents still have to go on with life? Maybe the kid just woke up from a nap and refused to walk, but the parent had shit to do.
Again, their WHY. None of your business.
What about breastfeeding vs. formula?
What about the bedsharers vs. cio?
What about the fast food vs. organic everything?
My point is, everyone is different. Some people need to learn how to be adults.
Let's realize that our children are watching and learning EVERYTHING we do.
So to YOU, Judgy Mcjudgerson. Yes, you. The one who comments on everything. Turns anything into an argument because someone else has a different way. A differing opinion.
I have a challenge for you.
Take a look in the mirror. Find your WHY.
Do you not get any attention at home? Do you feel like nobody values your opinion? Do you lack adult interaction? Did you have a bad childhood? Do you not know how to make friends?
What does your constant need to undermine others have to do with your life? Seriously.
Find your WHY. Figure it out, for yourself and your kids.
And when you find it, guess what?
It's none of MY business.
Becky Phillips
stay at home mom of 2

What does the clothing company the Boston Globe called "The Top Innovator in Retail" have in common with New England's leading distributor of wine and spirits? Or a beer geek and botany nerd who are taking Boston by storm? And why are these companies in the same sentence with an award-winning lighting designer?
All of these innovators are part of Seaport Saturdays, an exciting new weekend showcase at Clarke's 7 Tide Showroom at 7 Tide Street in Boston. Johnny Cupcakes, Trillium Brewery, Lucia Lighting and Martignetti Liquors have all signed on to launch Saturday Pop-Ups at Clarke's award-winning showroom over the coming months.
"The Boston Seaport is a bustling place Monday through Friday to be sure," explained Clarke President Sean Clarke, " but little do people know that Saturday offers a unique opportunity to explore this exciting neighborhood when the traffic is calmer and the focus is on personal fun instead of professional business."
Clarke's Official Sub-Zero & Wolf Showroom and Test Kitchen intentionally opens on Saturdays to give homeowners a relaxing day to visit and find inspiration for their homes without the pressure of rush-hour traffic and noontime congestion. Seaport Saturdays are designed to give homeowners in the city, as well as those traveling from shoulder communities like Brookline, Newton and Wellesley, an extra reason to come to 7 Tide on the weekend. With free parking at the door, as well as exciting high-tech, high-touch sensual experiences related to home design and delicious food preparation, 7 Tide offers a rich atmosphere for these entrepreneurs to show their wares.
Saturday, February 17- 10AM-4PM - Johnny Cupcakes
Come enjoy the world's first T-Shirt Bakery! You may have visited their Newbury Street shop or seen them in pop-ups throughout the region, and if you haven't you're in for a treat! What better setting for Johnny Cupcakes to pop up than at Clarke, where cooking is king? Johnny Cupcake customers often begin their journey thinking they are walking into a bakery to get a cupcake when they find delightful t-shirts, tote bags and more. Customers have included John Stamos, Kevin Garnett, Spike Lee, Seth Rogan and other celebrities. This is your chance to find out what all the buzz is about with this delightful experiential brand. If you don't catch them in February, they'll be popping up at Clarke at 7 Tide again in April.
Saturday, March 10 -12PM-3PM - Trillium Brewing Company Tasting
If you've stood in line with the crowds waiting to get into Trillium Brewery in Boston's Fort Point Channel, come enjoy their pop-up in the relaxation of Clarke at 7 Tide. This trendy brewery was founded in 2013 by JC and Esther Tetrault who decided that wanted to start a brewery for much more than the beer. They named their brewery for the trillium flower, which represents beauty, strength, simplicity and balance. Come learn about this New England farmhouse brewery and taste their wild ales while browsing Clarke's awe-inspiring kitchens.
Saturday, March 24 - 11AM-Noon Lucia Lighting
Want to become enlightened? Then talk to one of the design experts from Lucia Lighting. They'll be on site at 7 Tide for a free one-hour lighting seminar sharing their knowledge about lighting trends for kitchens and every room in your home. Known as much for their creativity as their technical expertise, this is a unique opportunity to ask your questions and get true lighting insight for your home. If you can't make it March, then perhaps you'll want to mark your calendar for May 5th when they plan to return.
Saturday, April 7 - Martignetti Wine Tasting
With origins in a family owned grocery business in Boston's North End, the Martignetti family received the first license to sell beverage alcohol in Massachusetts after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. They've grown to be the leading distributor of wines and spirits in New England and the 7the largest distributor in the country. So they know a little bit about wine and they'll share their knowledge and offer tastings at 7 Tide in Clarke's showroom on this Seaport Saturday. Sipping a glass of fine wine is the perfect way to spend a day exploring the designs of the region's finest architects and designers at 7 Tide. You'll want to ask Clarke Showroom Manager Jeremy McCulla and his staff about Sub-Zero Wine Storage during your Martignetti tasting. They'll show you how to keep your wine at not only the perfect temperature, but also the perfect humidity.
This is just the beginning of Clarke's Seaport Saturdays. Stay tuned for seminars on the world's finest stone countertops from Marble and Granite and more exciting reason to visit Boston Seaport on Saturday. When you're done at Clarke, leave time to visit the Institute of Contemporary Art or, if you're traveling with children, the Boston Children's Museum is just a hop, skip and a jump away.
