Myung-wol the Spy: Episode 4
Such a fun, quirky series that mixes spy farce with rom-com elements.
It has some lighthearted silly moments, treasure-hunting spy moments,
but also characters with interesting mysterious layers. And the funny
pretty much kills me.
Episode 4 RECAP:
Kang-woo grabs In-ah's hand on its way to slapping Myung-wol across
the face. He tells her like one of his drama heroes, "Don't mess with
her," followed directly with: "She's crazy. Crazy in love. She's not
right in the head, so don't mess with her." HA. So much for romantic
declarations of heroism.
He walks away and In-ah seethes, deciding to put her in her place by
saying that there are two kinds of trees – the ones you can climb, and
ones you can try your hardest but never gain a foothold on. Without
skipping a beat, Myung-wol tells HER to stop flailing around on a tree
she can't climb. Heh.
In-ah raises her arm yet again, and Myung-wol blocks her, reminding
her of Kang-woo's words not to mess with her. I could watch her annoy
In-ah all day. Except then I'd have to stare at In-ah's face all day.
In-ah stalks off, calling her a whack job. Myung-wol looks after her
curiously, repeating the word to herself. I love this running gag of her
trying to learn South Korean slang every time someone calls her
something new.
Dae-kang decides that if he is to battle with a tiger, he's got to go
into the tiger's lair. What? You mean battle Kang-woo for Myung-wol's
affections? Pwahaha. This is awesome.
So to that end, he shows up on the set to wash Kang-woo's car,
introducing himself to the agency president as a die-hard fan.
Kang-woo's agent decides he's the perfect trial-run replacement for his
manager, and Dae-kang bows fervently that he'll die for Kang-woo.
Kang-woo sighs, "Why are there so many crazies about these days?" Heh.
Ryu packs a bag, and the parent spies ask if there's another
objective in this mission that he's not telling them. He doesn't deny
that there is, but pulls rank and tells them that it's confidential.
Ok-soon admits she's got a bad feeling, and he gets defensive,
reminding her that this is all for the sake of their country. He tells
them to make sure that Myung-wol advances on her mission because there's
not too much time left.
She later timidly asks Kang-woo not to call her crazy in front of
other people, and he asks her brusquely if she's embarrassed. She admits
that it's not something she's proud of, and he just tells her it's good
that she knows that.
She asks him what "whack job" means, even though when he asks if she
doesn't know the word, she backpedals and says that of course she knows –
she was just wondering if it was worse than "crazy." He confirms her
NSA agent Yoo Da-hae gets word that Hallyu star Kang-woo was involved
somehow in the Singapore book deal. That piques her interest – "What's a
Hallyu star doing at a black market book deal instead of partying at a
Ryu moves into Chairman Joo's estate, to begin phase two of his
mission, to get his hands on one of the books in the Ancient Quartet of
Mystical Secrets. He discovers a locked room leading to a massive
walk-in safe that pretty much screams,
All of my hidden treasures are here, please steal.
In-ah runs into him walking around in the hallway, and tells him that
nobody but Grandpa goes into that room. But the only thing she really
cares to talk about is herself, so she asks if he likes her. Ha. I would
say that your ego is astounding, but I'm in no way surprised.
She tells him that he ought to get over it, since she only has eyes
for brand name things, and he throws back, amused, that she doesn't
really know whether or not he's "brand name." I love that the cold
calculating spy is actually messing with her a little.
Myung-wol gets to practicing her seduction techniques, and today it's the
Hee. She says it over and over again, trying to get her pitch up into
Oppa Squeal Zone, and her hands curl up in disgust at the over-cute.
"How is this supposed to attract a man? The only thing it's attracting
is my gag reflex." HA.
He comes downstairs so she jumps up at the chance to try it out,
asking timidly, "Is there anything you need… oppa?" He stops dead in his
tracks. She remembers Ok-soon's words that if he shows a reaction of
any sort, it's half a success already.
She smiles, buoyed by the thought that it's working. She follows it
up with, "Would you like a cup of coffee, OppA~?" He shoots back: "Wanna
die?" That's…not the reaction she was hoping for.
He mocks her, lips out to there, "OppA~ … If you do that one more
time, you're dead." Hahaha. Overreact much? She frowns, but ten to one
he's gonna be plagued by it later.
She steals out to meet Ok-soon for a debriefing, and tells her that
Operation Oppa was a failure. Ok-soon gasps, "But… men almost always
lose their minds at the word oppa." Ain't it the truth.
The power of a word.
Ok-soon sighs in frustration that she can't figure out what
Kang-woo's taste is, if he's immune to The Cute. Myung-wol narrows her
eyes, "I think he's a total whack job." Haha. Way to use your new word
of the day.
NSA agent Da-hae stakes out Kang-woo's place and sees Myung-wol,
wondering curiously if she's his girlfriend, since his profile says that
his parents died young, so he has no family and lives alone.
The next day Myung-wol tries again to engage Kang-woo in conversation
while he's on the treadmill, and refuses to leave his side. So he tells
her to run alongside him then, which leads to a hilarious competitive
race where she totally outruns him, and he keeps upping his speed to try
and keep up.
His pride refuses to let him back down, until he nearly trips. He
barks at her that he can't concentrate because she's making too much
noise, and walks off in a huff. Hee hee. I love when his pride gets
Dae-kang fills her in on Kang-woo's past with In-ah, calling theirs a
classic push-and-pull relationship. She asks what that means, so he
takes the opportunity to hold her hand and demonstrates by literally
pulling and pushing. Ha. That just confuses her more.
He explains that Kang-woo is no idiot, and that he pushes her away
when she's too close, and pulls her back in, just when she's about to
let go. In-ah is a secure future for him (when he retires from showbiz),
so Dae-kang puts his money down on the fact that he'll eventually marry
her. Myung-wol grumbles, only now realizing that In-ah is a threat to
her in the larger sense.
Ryu lifts the Chairman's fingerprint easily that night over dinner,
and makes his way into the secret treasure room. But once inside, he
encounters yet another safe with a passcode he has to crack.
Myung-wol loses sight of Kang-woo and walks around the house looking
for him, and finds a baseball and glove peeking out from a closet. She
picks it up to put back, and he flips out at her touching his stuff.
She wonders how she'll ever get anywhere with a guy whose temper is
so high, but then peers back to see him holding the ball and glove with a
stricken look. He puts it down and picks up a picture of him with Dad,
in his little league uniform. Aw.
Over the coming days, Dae-kang grits his teeth and takes the abuse of
his new manager job so that he can stay close to Myung-wol noona (aw),
while Myung-wol does her bodyguard job with zeal.
She and Kang-woo have to fight through a horde of screaming fangirls
on their way out of the studio, and when one of the girls grabs his
hair, she unlatches her, inciting the fangirls' rabid ire.
Once Kang-woo is out of harm's way, she meets them out back in the
alley for a little lesson, only fangirls… are not like fanboys.
Apparently, they are MUCH MUCH scarier. Like organized mob scary.
At the signal of a bobby pin, the girls pin the hair out of their
faces and approach like a pack of hyenas. Myung-wol gulps, realizing
that she may have underestimated the love of the fangirl.
She comes stumbling out of the alley torn up and bloody. Heh.
He orders Dae-kang to stop by a shop and buy her some new clothes
since they have to go straight to a party for the launch of a jewelry
line that night. Aaaaand, evening gown it is. Myung-wol laughs at her
own reflection as she changes in the bathroom, still bloody from the
fangirl scuffle.
In-ah sidles up to Kang-woo and tells him to go ahead and impress
Grandpa tonight, who arrives with Ryu by his side. That makes In-ah
stick closer to Kang-woo, as the two men exchange stony looks.
Ryu heads to the restroom and walks right past Myung-wol, barely
recognizing her. He turns back and calls her name hesitantly. 'Bout time
you saw her as a girl. Only he's such a singleminded robot that he
can't even take a second to go gaga over her in a dress, and simply
reminds her to stay focused on the job and that they're putting their
lives on the line for their country. Yeah, yeah. But she looks so purty!
Tell her she looks purty!
Myung-wol makes a big entrance with all eyes on her, mostly because
she trips a waiter on her way in. Heh. But it's enough to catch the
jeweler's attention, and she ditches In-ah mid-sentence to go talk to
Myung-wol and compliment her beauty.
Kang-woo goes googly-eyed at the sight of her in that dress, which is
so satisfying. It still doesn't explain why you're wearing shiny
brocade curtains as a dinner jacket, but at least it's in character that
the bigger the star, the weirder the clothes. Seriously, it's like
math. Think about it. He perks up when he hears her use perfect English
to reply to the jeweler that she's not an actress but a bodyguard.
A little later, a man walks up to ask Myung-wol for a dance, and at
first he asks politely and she declines because she's working. But the
dude is apparently not a fully formed hominid, because he grabs her
wrist and yanks her onto the dance floor. Because THAT somehow puts a
girl in a shake and shimmy mood?
I'm dying for her to break a few fingers, but Kang-woo steps in
first. (Probably a good thing, though I'm sorely disappointed in the
lack of finger-breaking.) He cuts in, firmly enough to make the creep go
I don't know what makes me happier—that now they're dancing, or that In-ah is standing four feet away and forced to watch it.
He puts his arms around her and they begin to dance, and Kang-woo
asks curiously where she learned to speak English if she grew up in the
country. She points out that living in the country doesn't preclude
learning English.
She steps all over his toes and he tells her with his totally
straight face: "If you step on my toes one more time, you're fired." Ha.
He dips her and says, "Stop trying to get ahead. Just follow me."
She finally gets the hang of it and they whirl around the dance floor
for a while, until he gets a call and then suddenly rushes out. She
runs after him and In-ah sees a chance to be a petty bitch, and steps on
Myung-wol's dress train as she runs past her.
But Myung-wol simply tears the rest of it off and keeps running as
In-ah fumes. So… you inadvertently got her through a quick-change from
evening gown into sexy black spy dress by being evil. Thanks.
She runs after Kang-woo but loses him just as he takes off in a cab.
Turns out his big meeting is with Hee-bok. Ha. Hee-bok keeps him on the
ropes in his hunt for the Goblin, and tells him that he's disappeared
Hee-bok: "But I've figured out
he's called the Goblin.
It's because… he's preternaturally elusive… like a goblin." Pwahahaha.
Thank you for your powers of deduction there, super-spy.
Kang-woo gives him a look like,
are you fucking with me
, so
Hee-bok quickly tells him that's not all he's got. He takes out a sketch
of the Goblin's face… with dark sunglasses on. Pffft.
Kang-woo holds it up to his own sunglassed face in mockery, but
Hee-bok insists that it's a start. Kang-woo gives him more money and
gets up to go, and when a news report comes on about him and In-ah,
Hee-bok asks if he's really going to marry her.
He asks what type of women he likes. Kang-woo: "I have no interest in
women." Anyone smell a gay misunderstanding around the corner? Hee-bok
doesn't think much of the statement, beyond his rudeness.
Myung-wol comes home and remembers the dance wistfully, and Kang-woo
comes home, bursting her bubble with his actual personality. She asks
him worriedly why he ran off in the middle of their dance, and he says
coldly, "Don't think because I held your hand that you've become
something. Don't overreact."
He stops mid-sentence when he notices her dress, and has another fit,
complaining that it's expensive. "Are you normally a clumsy character?
That's coming out of your salary."
He turns to go, but then Myung-wol mutters angrily under her breath,
calling him a rat bastard. He half-hears her and whirls around, but she
quickly covers it up and runs off.
Ok-soon finds her working out in the park, and decides that leading
with Myung-wol's feminine wiles is like "beating a rock with an egg,"
(HA) and suggests they change their tactic.
She tells Myung-wol to forget coming at him woman-to-man, and focus
instead on person-to-person. She tells her to figure out what his
weakness is – that is, his deepest pain.
Myung-wol wonders if going for his weak spot isn't cowardly of them,
but Ok-soon tells her that everyone feels pain. (Yeah, maybe except for
Kwon Sang-woo
.) "Make him feel like you are the only one in the world who understands his pain."
Well it's a good thing his pain is daddy issues, because so are hers. Nice that she doesn't even have to fake it, right?
She heads toward home but finds a fangirl (the same one who led the
scary alley fight earlier) asleep on the front stoop. She's been there
three nights in a row, just dying for one handshake or an autograph from
Myung-wol comes in to ask him because she feels so bad for the girl,
but he refuses. She doesn't see why he's so adamant about not giving
away his autograph when it takes such little effort, and he tells
to go out and sign one then.
She tells him that an autograph from her means nothing. He points out
that this is exactly the difference – his is worth something, while
hers is not, and he's not going to run around depreciating the value of
his own stock by being so commonly available.
Wow. He's like his own functioning mini star system,
image-as-commodity economics, all wrapped up in one body. So Myung-wol
goes down and gives the girl one of Kang-woo's favorite t-shirts,
telling her that he sleeps in it, and told her to give it to her. HA.
It turns out he's not a
ass though, as he almost heads out with a cd, until he sees Myung-wol give away his shirt.
In-ah decides to retaliate in this push-and-pull game by asking
Grandpa for Ryu to be her bodyguard. So transparent. The
you-have-a-hot-bodyguard-so-I'm-gonna-have-a-hot-bodyguard ploy? She
thinks Ryu perfectly suited to drive Kang-woo crazy with jealousy.
Kang-woo drives Myung-wol crazy with his insanely particular diva
antics, he of the mineral water from minimum altitudes and tissues made
of organic fibers. Though his retort when she hands him a roll of toilet
paper to wipe his mouth is hilarious: "Do you want to clean your mouth
with what you use to clean your bottom?!"
He yells at her for not doing her job and letting fangirls write all
over his car, and orders her to clean it up. While rooting around for
something to clean with, she finds a box of cds in the car – the same cd
he was holding the other night. Perhaps a failed album and a sore spot
for him?
Myung-wol reports to Ok-soon that she needs more time to figure out
his weakness, and Ok-soon suggests she start digging into his past.
Kang-woo watches himself give an interview on tv and scoffs at his
fabricated backstory of living abroad because of his doctor parents, and
falls asleep on the couch. Myung-wol finds him there and notices him
having a nightmare.
He's a kid in his baseball uniform, and he goes running through the
woods, calling out "Daddy! Daddy!" Kang-woo struggles in his sleep and
Myung-wol tries to wake him. He calls out, "No! Don't go! Don't go!"
She shakes him hard enough that it startles him awake, and he shakes
her off, covered in sweat and anxiety. She wonders to herself if he's
lost someone important in his life. "Maybe someone he loved left him? Or
maybe his first love died?" Heh. Tragic death of first love is what
comes to mind? I thought you weren't familiar with the Hallyu wave.
In-ah makes sure to show off her new bodyguard to Kang-woo, who
doesn't give a damn, but Myung-wol does, and she exchanges glances with
There's a problem on set that day though, because the stuntwoman is
unavailable, but then the producer perks up at the sight of Kang-woo's
bodyguard. Next thing you know, Myung-wol is strapped to a pulley and
standing on the ledge of a building.
Kang-woo watches dissatisfied and secretly worried about her, but he
can only express it in his exasperated way, saying that they shouldn't
use someone so inexperienced. But it's shoot or bust, so Myung-wol does
the jump.
It goes well at first, but then while she's hanging in midair, the rope pulley breaks and she starts to fall…
And Kang-woo reacts with his lightning-quick reflexes. He races over
to catch her, just as she's about to land splat on the ground.
Startled, she looks up at him, and in that split second while he
holds her in his arms, wearing that black mask, he gets a flash
reminding him of that mysterious woman at the costume auction.
Uh-oh. Does he recognize her?
I like that Kang-woo is such a prickly diva, but that he's also just
hiding a soft underbelly for a lot of different reasons. His crazy fast
reflexes are definitely curious, especially if you consider that he got
to Myung-wol before Ryu even budged from the same spot. Curioser and
I think the leads have some fantastic chemistry, both romantic and
comedic, and I kind of can't wait until he's so in love with her that he
goes crazy too. Hee.
Myung-wol's newness to everything is kind of hilarious, because it's
not just movies and tv, but actual words. I like that she's prideful
enough to fake her knowledge of things around Kang-woo, but then has to
ask Dae-kang what words mean. It's adorable, and that kind of
childishness is so in sync with Kang-woo's pettiness that it's pretty
much a perfect match.
I hope he actually falls in love with her still thinking that she's a few marbles shy. How funny is that going to be?

The Inn is proud to be the home of two baby humming birds! Their home (for now) is on a tree in our center courtyard. We are not sure of the exact day they hatched as their mom hid the nest pretty well so they would not be disturbed. They are growing a little each day and will probably take flight in the next week or so.
This is the 2nd family of hummingbirds that we have had. Our first "baby" was born in February.
Just goes to show us that Mother Nature is still out there.

As I am a new food blogger, I wanted to start off with all the places I have been to, but instead I want to expose my city for the wealth of culinary culture it has and is still developing; Calgary can stand with the best, but still has a lot to learn in the culture that is food.
One of my favorite places to go is Galaxie Diner.
I have been going here for years. The home-style all day breakfast, with its perfect ambiance that fully suits the food you are about to consume. As for the food, my favorite is "the Calgary Sandwich". An egg omelet that contains everything for a breakfast food: beef sausage, green peppers, bacon, onions tomatoes and banana peppers, all fused into the sandwich. Served on grilled brown bread and the pièce de résistance (being the best part that makes this meal compete), it also comes with unlimited hash browns. Nothing can go wrong with a large home-style vanilla milkshake of course! Just scrumptious. Though I have heard from others that the meal is slightly pricey for breakfast food, I have never turned down going here with friends, nevertheless.
Calgary Sandwich (background) and Cody Scrambled (foreground)
Galaxie's Calgary Sandwich
Other menu items I have personally tried and highly enjoyed are the "Montréal Smoked Meat Hash", a mix of Montreal smoked meat served with an omelet along with toast, and the "Huevos Rancheros"; Galaxie's own take on Mexican styled breakfast food. This includes tortilla with 'your way' eggs, salsa and the option to add meat, bacon, beef sausage or ham (which I highly recommend). In addition to their Mexican twist, "Breakfast Burritos", provides its breakfast rolled inside a tortilla. Lastly, "Cody scramble" is your traditional home styled scrambled eggs; very nostalgic to what I used to eat as a kid.
Galaxie's Montréal Smoked Meat Hash
Hope you enjoy Galaxie as much as I do!
Tip: on weekends (specifically late morning and afternoon) it's quite busy, don't be surprised if you're waiting for up to 20+ minutes

World energy problem: what Jazz and Symphony can offer
3 July – The World Energy Council will this week underline the reality that there is no one global solution to the issue of energy supply.
Reaching a solution, says the Council, will involve solving each of the individual parts of the problem to achieve the global aim of sustainable, affordable and secure energy for all.
The World Energy Council's director of policy and scenarios will address an audience at the Royal Society of Chemistry on Thursday (4 July), when he lectures on Balancing World Energy Needs: Securing the Future.
Professor Karl Rose will give a preview of a major new report by the WEC due to be unveiled later this year at the World Energy Congress in Korea.
October's World Energy Scenarios 2050 report will examine the three 'trilemma' challenges of energy security, social equity and environmental impact mitigation and is expected to spark interest across the industrial and political spectrums.
Professor Rose will, at his lecture in London's Chemistry Centre, say that politicians and industrialists have to accept that hard choices need to be made by this generation to bring about real changes for future generations and for the planet.
"The role of government is crucial in securing the energy answers," said Professor Rose today. "Essential in the campaign to have sustainable energy for future generations is the role of research and development as well as education and training."
The WEC has built two scenarios that describe the world in 2050, which they have labelled the Jazz Scenario and the Symphony Scenario and between them they cover all the approaches to the creation and consumption of energy.
Jazz focuses on energy access, affordability and quality of supply, while Symphony focuses on environmental sustainability and energy security.
The WEC does not intend one scenario to be better than the other.
"There will be things that succeed in both scenarios," said Professor Rose. "And there will be failures as well – and as a result there will be winners and losers within each scenario."
A key finding of WEC's three-year study is that demand will most likely continue to grow, but with significant shifts between regions.
Professor Rose will point out in his talk that in different regions of the world, energy challenge priorities vary dramatically.
He said today: "Climate change is not the main issue in most parts of the globe; rather, economic development and the improvement of air quality come first. Europe is the only exception.
"The World Energy Council believes that a balance can be achieved only through compromises and initiatives all around the globe.
"A strong emphasis on demand-side measures, like energy efficiency and innovative end-user technologies, combined with an increasing growth of renewables and other low-carbon technologies like carbon capture and storage, will be crucial for balancing the energy trilemma."

Why You Should Know Dance Darling Elliana Walmsley
When you hear Elliana Walmsley's name, your first thought is probably "Dance Moms," but that's far from the tween's only claim to fame. Since first appearing on Season 6 of the show, Elliana's won Youth America Grand Prix's Hope Award and starred in the off-Broadway musical Dance Divas Nutcracker. Most recently, she won the title of 2018 Mini Female Best Dancer at The Dance Awards—and started work on "Dancing with the Stars: Juniors" the following day.
Winning 2018 Mini Female Best Dancer was a dream come true. I used to watch the dance-offs and solos, thinking it would be so cool just to get to the improv round. But a teacher told me that it was out of my reach, that I'd never be able to do it. I never forgot that comment, and I'm so glad that I proved her wrong.
Fast Facts
Age: 11
Birthday: June 23, 2007
Hometown: Boulder, CO
Trains at: Master Ballet Academy in Scottsdale, AZ; Michelle Latimer Dance Academy in Greenwood Village, CO; EDGE Performing Arts Center and Millennium Dance Complex in L.A.
Favorite Instagram filter: "The bulldog you put on your face"
Nickname: "One of the producers on 'Dance Moms' once asked my middle name. The first thing that popped into my head was Shakoofa—though it's really Kathryn. But now everyone calls me Shakoofa!"
Pre-performance ritual: "The Llama Squad—Brynn Rumfallo, Maesi Caes, and I—made up a chant where we basically jump around in circles and act like llamas. We get a lot of weird looks at conventions, but we don't care!"
A version of this story appeared in the December 2018 issue of Dance Spirit with the title "You Should Know: Elliana Walmsley."
At the tender age of 9, Destiny Wimpye moved cross-country with her mom so she could train at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy. The leap of faith paid off: Destiny's spent summers training at the School of American Ballet, the Ailey School, and Pacific Northwest Ballet; performed for Michelle Obama at the White House; and danced beside Mariah Carey in a TV special for Disney. Now she's a full-time student at the Colburn Dance Academy under the direction of former New York City Ballet principals Jenifer Ringer and James Fayette, and it seems fated that Destiny will one day dance her dream role, Dewdrop in George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. "I'm a jumper and a turner," Destiny says, "so I think it fits me pretty well."
It's never too early to start thinking about your dream job. And summer intensives are an essential step down the road to achieving your dance dreams—whether you want to perform in music videos, ballet companies or Broadway shows.
With 19 programs across the U.S. (plus additional international programs) Joffrey Ballet School offers options for all types of dancers with all types of goals. Whatever you may be working toward this summer, there's a program that will help you get that much closer. We put together a guide to help you find the right one, based on your dream job:

I've been battling Achilles tendinitis for months—it never seems to get better. How can I deal with it? Could there be an issue with my technique that's causing the problem?
Ever since starting her professional career, Broadway dancer Amber Ardolino has cupped. Using the holistic wellness practice to improve performance and take care of her body, Ardolino cupped before it was cool—even beating the 2016 Rio Olympics' purple polka-dotted athletes to the punch. But Ardolino's only one dancer who has put this therapy to regular use. Dance Spirit asked Carrie Gaerte, PT, DPT, ATC, and performance rehab specialist with St. Vincent Sports Performance who works with Indianapolis' Dance Kaleidoscope; and Thomas Droge, Chinese-medicine doctor and founder of Pathfinder Institute in NYC, to explain the ins and outs of cupping therapy.

Let's be real: Auditions can be rough. No matter how prepared you are, a lot of variables go into every audition—which means even the best of us mess up sometimes! Here are 7 audition fails every dancer has experienced at one point or another.
What inspires you most as a dancer? What keeps you going on the days when the motivation just isn't there, and makes you feel like all the hard work, rejection and sacrifice is worth it for the pursuit of your dream? What makes you want to run into an empty studio and create something new?
Cindy Clough, executive director of Just For Kix and a studio owner with over four decades of experience, often hangs posters with dance-related quotes on the walls of her studio, on everything from creativity to the hustle to the importance of teamwork. Sometimes the right words from dancers who have been there are just the push you need to spark your imagination and remind yourself why you love what you do.
In that spirit, here are 10 inspiring quotes from dancers on what their art form means to them, and why it's worth fighting through the hard parts:
Oh, baby I'm a wreck (wreck) after watching Kinjaz's new music video.
Set to Post Malone's "Sunflower," the lead single from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack, the vid features the dance crew's ever-fabulous men—who appear to have Spidey senses, because seriously, how else do they stay down-to-the-fingertips in sync?—performing Vinh Nguyen's super-tight choreography, with an overlay of comic-book-esque graphics by editor Jonathan Shih.

Chloe Misseldine has every reason to be nervous as she and her partner run through the challenging wedding pas de deux from Don Quixote. Their performance is just days away and the two American Ballet Theatre Studio Company dancers have only had a week to prepare. Add to that the fact that ABT principal Gillian Murphy, one of the world's most famous ballerinas, is at the front of the studio taking notes.
If you haven't followed through on your New Year's resolution to practice more self-care, then Valentine's Day is the perfect time to start. Below, we rounded up the best ways to pamper, indulge, and heal everything from your muscles, to your skin, to your mind. Your body (and your dancing) will thank you.
As ballet's gender roles grow increasingly blurred, more men than ever are reaching new heights: the tips of their toes.
It's no longer just Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo and the few pointe-clad male character parts, like in Cinderella or Alexei Ratmansky's The Bright Stream. Some male dancers are starting to experiment with pointe shoes to strengthen their feet or expand their artistry. Michelle Dorrance even challenged the men in her cast at American Ballet Theatre to perform on pointe last season (although only Tyler Maloney ended up actually doing it onstage).
The one problem? Pointe shoes have traditionally only been designed for women. Until now.

I thought that I would wait to meet up with our doula & my husband before posting this, but I've decided to post away before I get even more behind. After revisiting the birth story with them, I may do a follow up post to add in what I might miss here. In the mean time, here it is in all it's length (sorry!):
For 9 months, I had convinced myself he was coming early. He was due on January 11, but I thought for sure we'd be celebrating his birth in the first few days of the new year. On New Year's Eve, I spent the day doing self massage on all the acupressure points–inner ankles, knees, in between thumb & forefinger. I did jin shin jitsu flows (like acupuncture without the needles), courtesy my friend Becca's instructions. I ate loads of pineapple, went for a 4 mile walk, danced & had a little spicier of a dinner. All of this only resulted in a tummy ache. No regular contractions, just the same mild period like cramping I had been feeling for days.
After New Year's Eve, I relaxed about him getting here early. For a bit. Then I got restless and anxious again. I packed the hospital bags. I repacked them. I washed baby clothes. I re-arranged the nursery. I cleaned. I walked and walked more. I checked out book after book from the library. And then I did the massage, jin shin jitsu, pineapple stuff again. Another tummy ache. A few more nights of contractions.
After the 11th came and went, I scheduled acupuncture and started taking evening primrose oil per my midwife's advice. I was only 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced a few days before the 11th. Five days after, I was in the same place. I went to acupuncture again & started getting regular contractions the next night, but not strong enough to do anything about it, and they went away when I went to sleep. A few days later, I went to another check-up, had my membranes swept, went to acupuncture again, and waited for the contractions. They again came and went in the night. I was starting to get nervous.
Until Monday night–January 20th. I had gone for another 4 mile walk that day & went again with my husband when he got home from work. We had dinner & watched Friends. The contractions started again, & they were a little stronger. After a few hours, we were tracking them regularly at 4 minutes apart. In our Bradley classes, we had discussed going to the hospital when they were 4 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute for an hour. We had also discussed that I would start to be non-responsive & that's when my husband would know it was time to go to the hospital. I remember thinking–what do we do? What if my tolerance for pain (something I have always prided myself on as someone who used to run 5 miles everyday in the dead heat of summer), is higher than other people's? What if I never feel the terrible contractions that everyone describes?
I called our doula, we called the midwives, we labored at home. Until around midnight or 1ish? I hadn't felt him move for an hour & panicked.
We called the midwife again, and she told us to come to the hospital so we could monitor him. We checked in, did a non-stress test, and she checked me. I was still only 1 cm & 75% effaced. He was fine. She told us, we can admit you now & see how things go, but I'd encourage you to go home. If you stay, you may get pressured into a labor you aren't comfortable with–pitocin will likely be offered to get things going. So, we went home. She sent me home with 2 ambien so I could get some sleep for the labor she was sure was coming. I hesitated to take them, took half a dose around 3 when we got home, and woke up around 6 am to VERY strong contractions. I wasn't hungry, but thought it would be a good idea to eat something, so I choked down about a half a cup of yogurt and a half a banana. Within an hour my contractions grew stronger. I could no longer talk through them. We called our doula. I called the midwives, and we labored at home.
The contractions became so strong, I could only handle them on my knees. Our doula put a pad under my knees and got a bowl form the kitchen since I said I thought I might throw up. I labored this way until contractions were about 3 and a half minutes apart, and we decided to go to the hospital–a 20-30 minute drive. I rode in the back seat, still on all fours bearing down with each contraction. We checked into the hospital & on the way in, I remember dropping to my knees in the waiting room on the way in–hit by the strongest contraction yet. It was much more intense than a heavy period cramp. Much, much more.
However, when our midwife checked me, I was still only 1 cm & 75% effaced. After hearing this, I started half crying in between contractions, my morale sinking. I was so frustrated.
Our doula ran a bath for me in the hospital jacuzzi tub. In our birth classes, we had been told that during labor, we would lose all sense of modesty, and I remember thinking–well, that won't happen to me. I had a cute outfit picked out for labor & planned on wearing it & keeping my sports bra on during the bath. Nope–big as a house, I stripped down & sank into the warm, soothing water. I began to relax a little more through contractions. When the next midwife came on shift (the practice we went to has 3 midwives that we see), she checked me & I was still the same. She said she had seen this happen in a labor with first time moms before and did something that felt like a membrane sweep again & all of the sudden I was 5 cm. I breathed a sigh of relief–again in between contractions, and decided to get out of the tub since the water was getting cold.
Labor continued. I braced for each contraction, using my breath to relax as much as I could. I was getting tired and weak though after hours of laboring without food. Aaron & our doula tried to coax me to eat something, but I thought I'd puke. I sipped coconut water and had some honey sticks when I could. I got in and out of the tub–to labor & out to monitor me and baby. The hours passed without any real sense of time–for me. I noticed it had grown dark outside the window, and was told at some point later that I was 8 cm. The more tired I got, the worse I handled the contractions. The worse my breathing became. The more I panicked. I stalled at 8 cm for a few hours, panicking, breathing shallowly, exhausted and ready to give up. I asked for an epidural. I didn't know how long I had labored, but it was something like 22 hours.
The midwife suggested we try Fentanyl instead since it was less invasive and didn't last as long. At this point, I just wanted the epidural, but with the coaching of our midwife, doula and my husband, I agreed to take it. I didn't remember this afterwards, because it did nothing for the pain. I was still panicked, still not breathing well, still just too exhausted to labor well–to labor with the strength needed to have a natural birth. An hour went by? I wanted the epidural. And got it. (About 24 hours into the labor)
Within 20 minutes, I was out. I felt the contractions, but they weren't as painful. And I slept for a couple of hours through my contractions. when I woke up, our midwife checked me again, and it was time to push. We did a few practice pushes on my right side, but Easton's heart rate dropped to the 60s. I could feel the panic in the room as our midwife pushed him back in and told me to stop pushing. They put in the continuous fetal monitor (again, I had no idea that this had happened because I was so exhausted & out of it). After his heart rate returned to normal, I was told to turn to my left side & try pushing again. This time his heart rate stayed steady. I should also note here that he was face up–which was making labor & delivery that much more difficult. Our midwife reached in and tried to turn him while our doula pushed on my belly from the outside, but he wouldn't budge. After an hour of no real progress pushing on my side, I asked if I could squat. She wasn't sure I'd be able to since I'd had the epidural, but at this point I felt it had worn off because I was feeling the contractions fairly strong again. I squatted & pushed without progress. After half an hour, I was too tired and laid on my side again.
Sensing my exhaustion, our midwife called in a doctor who was skilled in forceps delivery. She told my husband and doula that I was probably going to need some help. At this point, I agreed. Get him in here, I thought, I don't know if I can take this. I remember thinking I was going to have a c-section because I just couldn't push anymore. I didn't think I had the strength.
The doctor finally came, & helped me deliver Easton with the forceps. It was the most painful thing I have ever felt. I swear the epidural was competely gone by then. My husband told me that the doctor (a man taller than him at 6'1″) was using enough force and leverage with the forceps that he was shaking. I couldn't see it, but it felt like I was being split in two, & I was so worried that our baby would be hurt in the process. I was also told later that I pushed for 30 minutes during this process. I was also told later that he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his leg twice. Poor little guy!
Then, in a flash he was out. A cry sounded out & this little warm being was placed on my belly. I was so relieved but too tired to cry. A rush of love and amazement passed through me that I was too exhausted to comprehend. We moved Easton up to my chest & we gazed into each other's eyes as the doctor stitched me from where I had torn & where he had given me an episiotomy. Even after the traumatic and intense birth, he was so alert. So beautiful.
I have never known love like this. For my son or for my husband. I'm constantly crying with worry and gratitude–and I know some of it is post partum hormones, but so much of it is love. Love and gratitude. Gratitude for the support my husband provided during labor & the strength he gives me now. Gratitude for the new life that's with us. And love. For it all. This beautiful, amazing life.
Our birth didn't go at all like we had planned. It wasn't the natural, beautiful labor I imagined. I didn't wear my perfect labor outfit. I didn't labor at home for as long as I should have maybe. I didn't stay strong enough to stay medication free. I don't want to feel guilt about any of it. Because isn't that life? Life doesn't always go the way we plan, it goes the way it does & we have to adapt to it. Maybe I could have adapted better. Acted with more strength. Maybe not. It went the way it did. I did the best I could. And most of all, he's here.
He's here. My beautiful baby boy. My 8 lb. 1.2 oz, 20.75 inch long, 15 inch headed boy. Well, at birth anyway. He's bigger now. I'll catch up one of these days.
With Love & Gratitude,

If the MIT community seems quiet to you, you're probably missing out on some busy chats! Instant Messaging (IM) can be a great way to learn about what's going on around campus and get acquainted with other community members. There are several IM platforms used by different groups at MIT. They may not all fit into your daily routine, but there's probably one or two chatrooms you'll want to join.
Jabber is the main instant messaging system for all of MIT; users can log in with their Kerberos username and password. It offers group and individual messaging. To use it, you'll need a desktop client: Adium is recommended for Macs and Pidgin for Windows. Users also have the option to connect iMessage to the Jabber server.
Zephyr is a messaging system for talking with others when logged on to Athena. The messaging program zwgc (Zephyr windowgram client) runs in the background and informs you of new messages via a notification in the corner of the screen.
You can use Zephyr through a client as well. Popular choices are BarnOwl and Roost. MIT's Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) explains these clients and other Zephyr basics on its Using Zephyr page.
Yammer is a chat service for all MIT employees. After login, you're put in the "All Company" group, which every employee has access to. This channel is reserved for major announcements. Joining other groups of interest will enrich your Yammer experience.
There are dozens of groups to explore. Topics vary from professional to general interests. Some groups can be joined with the click of a button. Others accept or reject new member requests or are invite-only.
Yammer is great for workplace collaboration and socializing. To get started, check out the Yammer step-by-step guide (for logged-in users only) and 37 Ways To Use Yammer. The Information Systems and Technology (IS&T) Knowledge Base also has some Yammer resources.
Note: An earlier version of this post incorrectly identified the authentication method for Jabber.

So congrats, Whistler, for landing Ironman Canada! Now, if you can picture the maybe 3,000 competitors who will subsequently be landing at Whistler for the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and full marathon (26.2 miles), along with the thousands of supporters and volunteers, then you get a sense of the crazy hoopla soon to unfold.
And here's a picture of a different kind: if your mouth starts watering when you think about a nice filet of salmon, goat cheese and walnuts, tomatoes, arugula salad, asparagus and fresh peaches, then you're on your way to becoming an ironman or — woman, or at least eating like one, because that kind of diet is exactly what's optimal for wannabe and real-time competitors.
Given I'm more of a rust-than iron-woman and was really curious about what people eat before and during such an event, I started Googling around. One site, triathloncompetitor.com, has the picture above along with an "iron-core" meal plan that seems appropriate for any long distance event, especially one called Ironman.
The trick is, training for an Ironman takes so much time — upwards of 20 hours a week near the end — that when you factor in other obligations, like a real job, school or family obligations, you're after good whole food, fast — meaning it doesn't take a lot of time to prep, as opposed to food that's fast but neither good nor wholesome.
On triathloncompetitor.com, Rhonwyn Curtis-Nicholson, a certified nutrition support dietitian at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, advises eating whole foods whenever possible to keep your energy levels up and your body working to its maximum potential.
Even though she doesn't advocate supplements, for breakfast after a workout she suggests a strawberry-banana/whey protein smoothie with nonfat milk. Snacks include yogurt with blueberries or cheese and almonds or walnuts. (Nuts in general are healthy and contain monounsaturated fats that can slow down inflammation and oxidation in the body.) Lunch might be something like lean turkey on whole wheat bread with spinach and a cup of black bean soup. Dinner: a tuna melt with low-fat Swiss cheese and a side of steamed broccoli. You can even scoop up a dessert like low-fat frozen yogurt with dark chocolate and peanut butter chips.
Wait a sec! Other than the whey powder, which I'd switch to a nice bowl of porridge, I pretty much eat like this! But I bet I could barely run around the block, so for more elucidation about what you eat before and during an Ironman, I dialed up my pal Karoly Krajczar, who, in an unwitting stroke of symmetry, did his first-ever Ironman this year at Penticton's 30th and last event.

Leading economists are pointing out a new risk to America's battered economy, still struggling to emerge from the downturn following the 2008 financial crisis. The wealthiest 1% of Americans, who control 43% of the nation's wealth, are simply not buying enough useless crap to sustain GDP growth commensurate with an economic recovery.
"Our national fiscal health is tied to the purchasing decisions of, conservatively speaking, about 30,000 obscenely wealthy people, concentrated on the coasts, although many of them maintain ski lodges in Aspen and Telluride," said Harvard economist Greg Mankiw. "We've given them income tax breaks, ridiculously low capital gains tax rates, subsidies to their industries, and in some cases, just buckets of taxpayer cash. And the hope is they'll maybe buy a third yacht to travel between their first two yachts, and that'll boost the economy, somehow. But it's not working."
After purchasing fleets of cars, strings of polo ponies and private jets, many of the richest Americans simply can't think of anything else they want, let alone need. "I mean I even bought a goddamn $40,000 refrigerator with a television in front," said billionaire investor Leon Cooperman. "Who the hell wants to watch TV when you're standing in front of the refrigerator? I'm done."
Economists worry that with cash piling up in tycoons' savings and investment accounts, the beneficial effects of bankrupting the country so they can hoard historically unprecedented amounts of wealth will not be felt for years, if ever. "I think it's the patriotic duty of every one of our ruling plutocrats to just buy shit, at random if need be," said Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. "Pick a number between one and three hundred, call up Neiman Marcus, order up everything on that page of their catalog. Who cares, you guys have no idea what you already own, anyway."
"Please," he added.

Not About Oil
From Sahar in Baghdad:
I know it is all about the oil. I know that those who thought to use the greed of US politicians to remove one rotten tyrant and impose the will of tens of others upon the people of Iraq, had oil in mind as payment for the services rendered by the US Administration.
Oil, not blood.
The wound is now open, left to fester, contaminated by some known and mostly unknown germs.
But now the price to be paid is being dealt out in a different coinage; blood, and human lives; some taken, others destroyed; more yet left in despair over lost loved ones that have been killed, maimed or have simply disappeared.
The price is not paid by those who made the decision and reaped the benefits, but by us.
Democracy and freedom for the Iraqi people!
I issue an invitation to Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.
Come; experience first hand the democracy you brought us.
Come; partake of the freedom you so generously taught us.
Come, I will offer you my home, there is room enough.
I had a brother. He was killed; coinage for your democracy. (11.Aug, 2005 – 52 yrs)
I had a son. He was killed; coinage for your freedom. (3 Dec, 2005 – 18 yrs)
I had a nephew. He was killed; coinage to ease your inflated ego. (12 Feb, 2007 – 30 yrs)
Come, there is room enough in my home to accommodate you; but there is no room in my heart to accommodate your lame excuses.
Come, all those who participated in wounding our hearts; come; there are more than half a million places vacant of their occupants, we will accommodate you.
There is room enough.

Seems like the big bed bug scare has simmered down. At least I haven't heard too much about it lately on and in the news, but that doesn't mean it still isn't a problem.
If you thought bed bugs were just a "bed" problem, think again, these little critters can be found on theater seats, airplane seats, public transportation upholstery, cab upholstery, lockers, handbags, computer bags, backpacks, and luggage.
I found out about a company called Nature -Cide, that gave me a bottle to try.Of course, I will take the bottle on my next trip out of town, but sprayed it around my bed as well- as a sort of "try it out" type of thing.
You can use it on handbags or other bags or items traveling to public locations where furniture is shared, to repel bedbugs and eliminate the threat of spreading them to your home.
The bottles are available in a variety of sizes and can be purchased online.

This is the sort of things I hate, because I cannot fully explain why it works the way it does, anyway, here is a short account of what happened:
Some time ago I installed Oracle XE 11g on an Oracle Linux VM.
Upgraded Apex to 4.2.3
Installed all my applications with little effort if we exclude some glitches when importing nested tables using Oracle data pump.
Then, using WebDAV, I attached the XDB folder to my Mac running on Mavericks, authenticating as user SYSTEM.
I created my own folders in XDB and migrated all the stuff from my previous environment using the O/S copy and paste feature.
When I opened the applications referring to items stored in these folders I was randomly getting the infamous XDB authentication pop up window.
It's worth noting that I had already added the following privilege to xdbconfig.xml in the root folder of XDB.
<allow-repository-anonymous-access xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/xdbconfig.xsd">
In order to understand what's wrong, I enabled Firebug's Net console in Firefox and I found out that some of these items, but not all of them, where not downloaded owing to some HTTP 401 (Unauthorized) exception.
The best part, that one I really love, was that if I reloaded the page after hitting the Cancel button, the unathorized exception was returned by different items, not the same ones or a mix of them (some were still unathorized, while others didn't).
As I repeated the reload requests, Firefox caching mechanism was gradually filling the gaps, i.e. not requesting the same stuff again once cached, so I ended up with all the items and no more authentication requests.
If I purged the cache, the predicament was commencing all over again.
At this point I decided to compare the ACLs of Apex's built-in /images folder and mine and it turned out that the only difference was the absence of the privilege highlighted in blue:
So I updated the ACL of the folder and no more XDB authentication requests ever since.
What I can't figure out is why I should get the HTTP 401 *randomly* and not systematically because of the lack of this privilege.
If someone could explain the mistery...

WAB, WECW, Dux Britanniarum, IABSM3 and many other wargames rules, mostly in 28 and 15mm.

Do you ever have one of those moments....
No problem with the booster pack for the Valkyries in primary team colours - the AP (well, AP made for Maelstrom) purple spray is great, the only real issue is remembering to undercoat the areas that need to be yellow (which doesn't cover well) in white.
The secondary colours, on the other hand...
Undercoat - AP white. No problem.
Next step - wash. Unfortunately,using straight AP Soft Tone just produces a muddy pale brown, which would work perfectly for mediaevals or ancients, but not for the bright environment of Dreadball.
At the second attempt, I managed to fake out a wash using the AP purple, very dilute - works fine in the shadows, but leaves the rest a very faint pink. So out with the white again, and a fairly heavy dry brushing to restore the purity of the white while still preserving the shadow detail.
On to the trim, in yellow and purple....
Which is the point at which I discover that the AP purple is pathetically thin, and not the same shade as the spray after all, but considerably paler.
More later in the week, I think, as I need to do some colour matching work (and repaint at least one of the figures back to white....)

Starting to find that Valleijo White Primer works nicely to get brighter colors or even get white to show up.ReplyDelete
There are some wonderful inks available at the art store, I can't recall the manufacturer at the moment. You get a very large pot for the price of a vallejo paint pot. They are great at adding brightness to watercolor paints and are usually darker than the mini paint. They do run a bit when spray varnishing but their purple is nicely dark and bright.ReplyDeleteReplies
Pebo, peboe...something like that is what I have, but they are close to 20yrs old and the labels have since peeled away they are largish bottles with eyedroppers like 40-50 ml size and work well with a brushDelete
Sometimes you just get it wrong when compared to the pic you had in your head.ReplyDelete
The real decision is either press on for a different look you still like, or swallow the pill and strip them back and start again.
Do you ever have one of those moments...ReplyDelete
Just about every time I start some new figures...

Wondering how to have great skin as summer shifts to cooler temps?
Skin can look wonderful regardless of the season, but you have to properly care for it. But how?
LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook! Get Your Daily Medicine…For LIFE!
For this time of year, it's time to switch things up. Check each of the steps below:
1. Exfoliate Your Skin
It's extremely important to exfoliate your skin. Your body sheds skin cells at an amazing rate every day. If you do not take the time to exfoliate, the dead skin cells are just hanging out on top of your skin making it look ashy, dry and dull. Even if you keep slathering on your favorite lotion, you're never going to achieve glowing skin without exfoliating. Use an exfoliating body scrub 2-3 times a week. Do this year-round. Rub the body scrub gently in a circular motion on your entire body from your shoulders to your feet. You will want to use a specific facial exfoliation product for your face and neck that is gentler.
2. Beat Breakouts

He died in 1569 in Brussels and was born around 1520. His exact birthdate is unknown.
Even the place where he was born isn't sure. Bree is a possibility.
Even Breda was thought to have been his birthplace for a long time but
that's not very probable anymore. Bree was called Breda in Latin, so that might have brought confusion at some point in history, and the reason why Breda came up as probable birth place of Pieter Bruegel in the first place. More recent research now makes Grote Brogel the most probable place of birth of Pieter Bruegel.
The big difference between Pieter Bruegel and the Dutch painters before him,
the brothers Van Eyck for instance, is that Pieter Bruegel paints people as they are and
he paints peasants and common people in a realistic way, not posed, but as they lived.
He was a true observer of the life of peasants and common people and managed to put so much of that 16th century life in his paintings, they are now an important source of information for historians. The fact alone that he paints so many winter landscapes is now seen as proof of the little ice age that was going on then.
As with the Dutch painters before him there was a lot of symbolism in his work that could in those days be understood very well while nowadays we don't see the hidden messages anymore. Bruegel lived in the time of Protestant Reformation and even if Bruegel himself was catholic, he was against the persecution of protestants and his paintings often contain symbols that criticize politics of the Spanish ruler of that time. Maybe Bruegel's paintings can therefore be seen as the very first form of social commentary on the system. On his deathbed Bruegel even ordered his wife to destroy some his work because he didn't want to risk his family to be politically persecuted.
But why do I talk about Bruegel here and now? Well, when I saw Nadezda's post about
a winter landscape painted by a Russian painter, I immediately had to think of one of Bruegel's paintings; and while good weather was predicted for yesterday and I had planned on a walk with camera, instead there was grey weather, rain and wind, so we stayed home and I decided to search the internet for that painting of Bruegel I had thought of and share it here.
|Winterlandschap met schaatsers en vogelknip - Pieter Bruegel
It's called 'Winterlandschap met schaatsers en vogelknip' in Dutch, in English that would be 'Winterlandscape with skaters and bird trap'. This painting has always been seen as one of the first true landscape paintings. Persons aren't the main object, the landscape is. But even to this painting there is more than just a mere landscape. It has been studied recently and a book is written about it which I'd love to read sometime. It is only one of the winterlandscapes Bruegel painted. 'Hunters in the snow' is maybe the best known, and part of a series of paintings to illustrate each month/season of the year, comparable to traditional Flemish books of hours with calendar pages that showed life, weather and landscape for that month.
|Jagers in de sneeuw - Pieter Bruegel
|De volkstelling in Bethlehem - Pieter Bruegel
'Children's games' is the first painting of Bruegel I remember, so I thought it was a good idea to end this far too long post, so sorry for that, with it.
|Kinderspelen - Pieter Bruegel

Iowa has passed a law which will mean residents and businesses in the state can apply for tax credits for solar power.
Under the landmark legislation signed into law by Gov. Terry Branstad (R) solar electric, solar hot water and geothermal systems are now eligible for a state tax credits. The law was passed by the Iowa Senate by 45 votes to 1 and in the Iowa House by 82-14. The Iowa Environmental Council said "the new (solar) tax credit has the potential to rapidly expand Iowans' use of solar power."
According to the terms of the bill, homeowners will be eligible for up to $3,000 and businesses up to $15,000. The tax credits will be capped $1.5 million each year. The bill also provides a tax credit of up to 20 percent of a federal tax credit for geothermal heat pumps, and a 10-year property tax exemption for any increased valuation due to geothermal heating or cooling systems.
State Senator Rob Hogg said in a statement posted on his website that he fully supported the move.
"Solar energy works in Iowa. It is clean energy, and it is sustainable for future generations," the Democrat Senator for Cedar Rapids said.
Iowa is not the only state which has offered its citizens tax credits in a bid to jump start solar development. Last year, the Governor of Georgia Nathan Deal signed off on a law that raised the state's solar energy tax credit cap from the current $2.5 million per year to $5 million annually for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014.
Under the new law, Georgia businesses can recoup up to $500,000 of the solar generation system installation costs through tax credits, which must be taken over the course of four years. Homeowners in the state are eligible to receive up to $10,500 in tax credits which must also be taken over four years.
Lawmakers in Iowa are hoping the ruling could represent a leap forward for solar power in a state in which wind energy development has so far eclipsed it as the renewable of choice.

Alumna creates fundraising organization for pediatric cancer research
SHREVEPORT, LA — Medical student Renee Do '11 and a partner have formed St. Baldrick's Shreveport, an organization meant to raise funds for pediatric cancer research.
Renee Do '11
"The passion for this fundraiser organization was unearthed within me while an undergraduate at Centenary," said Do. "During Brain Awareness Week, I got to teach biology concepts to kids of all ages, and thanks to this experience, I realized how important kids really are to me."
Prior to creating her organization, Do co-chaired the LSU Health Science Center Shreveport campaign "St. Baldrick's Day" that raised over $9000 dollars for pediatric cancer research. In collaboration with the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which works with leading pediatric oncologists to generate creative fundraising initiatives for cancer research, participants in St. Baldrick's Day raised funds by asking family and friends to donate money in exchange for shaving their heads. Do alone raised $1,066 and donated twelve inches of her hair.
"My personal goal was to make a difference, somehow, some way," said Do. "And to my surprise, I am making a difference."
If you are interested in helping with future St. Baldrick's Shreveport initiatives, email Do at email.

Very few modern materials have a really heavy odor. However, there are a couple of formulations that have some odor. Almost all flea chemistries have some residual smell. The days of an exterminator making your home, inside or outside, smell for long periods of time are over.
We stand behind all of our work. Should any problems arise within a reasonable amount of time after the completion of the job, we will return for no extra charge, completely hassle-free.
A professional exterminator is needed any time a pest situation causes you discomfort. Generally, if you are looking at pest control websites, you probably have already reached this threshold.
The nature of our methods frequently do not require you to leave your home. Flea treatments are the hard exception due to current technologies.
Multiple pests frequently require different types of materials to alleviate them. In some cases pest applications can overlap for multiple targets. Each case is different depending upon the types of pests involved.
Many times it is not necessary to evacuate your pets or children for pest control treatment. The sensitivities of the pets and any individuals must be taken into consideration. It should be noted that we have made thousands of applications without people having to evacuate their homes.
We make no applications that would be considered environmentally unsound by any regulatory agency.

The other Fitzgerald: Upcoming play tells Zelda's tale
They were icons of The Roaring 1920s. F. Scott Fitzgerald is even credited with coining the phrase "The Jazz Age." The Minnesotan author dubbed his wife, Zelda, "the first American flapper." "They were a fascinating couple. They lived in a time like no other," says actress Julie Kaiser, who will portray Zelda in "The Last Flapper" Friday, Oct. 23 at Armory Square. The 7 p.m. performance is a fundraiser for the Headwaters Center for Lifelong Learning. "They symbolized The Jazz Age. They both succumbed to the excesses of the age," Kaiser said.
They socialized with wealthy expatriates like Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas and others. Based on her letters and stories, playwright William Luce's full-length, one-woman play is a definitive portrait of Zelda Fitzgerald. "Her words are her words. I think that's important," notes Kaiser. Born 115 years ago on July 24, 1900, Zelda lived a glamorous, often troubled life. Like other flappers of the 1920s, she rebelled against conventional ideas of ladylike behavior and style. A "flapper" was a free-thinking, risk-taking woman who listened to jazz, danced, smoked, spoke openly about sex and voted. Their bobbed hair, drop-waist dresses, higher hems and long strings of glass beads were considered "shocking." Fast-paced dances like the Charleston and Shimmy were considered "wild" by the older generation.
Flappers drank at a time when the U.S. outlawed alcohol through Prohibition. "She's just fascinating to me," Kaiser says of the southern belle who struggled to create an artistic identity of her own, separate from her famous husband. "One of the things I like about her and feel somewhat connected to her and why I wanted to do this play is that she was a creative woman at a time that accepted neither," Kaiser said. Creative, strong-willed women need to fully express themselves, says Kaiser. Zelda was a "brilliant writer," but critics were very unkind to her at her husband's urging and Scott constantly tried to extinguish – or even plagiarize – her creative efforts. "He took parts of her diary, word for word, and inserted them into his books," Kaiser said. "Every female character he wrote was her. There's no mistaking that. He chronicles her mental disintegration in 'Tender is the Night.'" Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Zelda was in and out of institutions from the age of 30 to 47. Today's scholars believe it's more likely she had bipolar disorder. In 1932, she wrote a semi-autobiographical novel, "Save Me the Waltz." "Her writing is very image-laden, opulent and undisciplined. That's sort of how she was and how she spoke. She'll give a long, long description," Kaiser says.
Scott was furious when Zelda submitted it to his publisher. They fought over rights to her story. "He told her her life was his literary domain," says Kaiser. "The Last Flapper" is set on the night of March 10, 1948. A fire breaks out in Highland Hospital, where Zelda is locked into a psychiatrist's office, awaiting electroshock therapy. An alcoholic, Scott suffered a heart attack and died in 1940, at the age of 44. Zelda died eight years later. "It's not a sad story. There's hopefulness," says Kaiser. "I think it's a cautionary tale." Kaiser's stage pursuits encompass numerous roles. She has performed with Northern Light Opera Company, Long Lake Theater and Bemidji Community Theater. She's also the lead singer for "Alabaster Falls," an acoustic folkgrass band and joint endeavor with husband Bill Kaiser.
Kaiser has studied voice, theatre, dance, songwriting, piano, banjo and mandolin. "I'm fortunate," she said. "I don't live with a husband who is unsupportive." Jennifer Wills Geraedts is directing "The Last Flapper." As an actress, bringing Zelda to life has been "an interesting ride," Kaiser said, "because there are parts of her that resonate with the artist in me." Tickets are available at Headwaters for Lifelong Learning presentations or at Beagle and Wolf Books. Tickets are $12.50 in advance or $15 at the door.

Air travel is probably the most most popular approach of reaching locations in the shortest time doable. Travel is a good, simple and cheap advertising and marketing device for your travel business. The State Division mentioned Friday that just about 60,000 visas had been suspended in the wake of Trump's order; it was not clear Friday evening whether that suspension was automatically revoked or what travelers with such visas may confront at U.S. airports. Delhi provides a multitude of lodging choices to prestigious travelers swimsuit the wants of both luxurious and price range travelers visiting the town.
Simply contemplate what number of single people that will be completely happy to connect with different singles as travel companions. The productions are excellent and really talented artists travel to the world to participate in the opera festival.

text: Dear Air-listers This fall I launched an online survey to learn more about the ways in which people view television programming and the ways in which fans engage with their favourite shows in the Web 2.0 era. With downloading, streaming and timeshifting technologies, watching television is no longer tied to the broadcast schedule and may not even involve a television set. Moreover, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter create multiple entry points into fandom and create new spaces of engagement with other fans. If you haven't done so already, I invite you to take my survey. Depending on your level of engagement with media fandom, the survey takes between 10 and 30 minutes to complete. There are prizes to win as well! TheTelevision 2.0 project has been reviewed by the Research Ethics Board at Athabasca University. Follow the link below to take the survey and/or to get more information, including a preview of the questions. http://tinyurl.com/tv2-0-survey Please spread the word far and wide!

No doubt you have seen the dozens of pictures of people in a haunted house looking hilariously petrified over the past year or so. Most likely, those shots were taken at Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls, Canada.
I recently got the chance to chat with Vee Popat, Founder of VPDM Digital, Nightmares digital marketing agency since 2009, about the history of the attraction as well as how those pictures play a vital role in the haunted house.
Nightmares has been in business for over 35 years and was created by Frank Lapenna, a carpenter by trade. He literally created everything guests see in the maze. As it turns out, the building that the attraction currently resides in was once a coffin factory. According to the legend, Abraham Mortimer, the former owner, was killed in his own factory by vandals. The thugs knocked over a stack of coffins, crushing him. Looking for revenge and justice, he still haunts the halls of Nightmares today.
Without giving away any spoilers, instead of telling you what you'll see in the maze, it's much easier to tell you what you won't see. The maze is pitch black and in most sections, you literally can't see your hand in front of your face. As your group is let in, you are told to follow a series of red dots on the wall and walk towards them. Be careful though, as those dots are cleverly designed for your to focus on them and not what's lurking in the darkness.
You also won't see any blood, guts or gore. Frank's version of horror doesn't involve any of those things. Rather having you walk around in pitch black across moving floors, having the walls close in on you and hearing various sounds can make your head play strange tricks on you far better than any typical blood and guts gore fest could.
Nightmares Fear Factory also features no live actors as you traverse the halls. However, that doesn't mean there aren't real people lurking behind the walls monitoring your every move, triggering effects that will make you jump out of your skin or even reaching out to grab you in the darkness.
Then there are those pictures. Just what is making people react like this? I would love to spill the beans, but I can't. What I can tell you is that this idea came from a trip Frank took to Universal Studios a few years back and he saw several roller coasters where they took on ride photos. He thought that would be a great keepsake if he could have cameras in his attraction that could capture a guest reaction right at the split second they are jumping out of their skin.
The next year, he attended a convention where a company called Picsolve was showing off their image capture technology. He partnered with them to create a spot in Nightmares Fear Factory where he would create a scare that could be timed to cameras capturing people's reaction. Through the use of IR emitters, they have figured out a way to capture just the right moment.
While there are currently two cameras set up throughout the maze, Frank wants to add more and even video segments so people can not only purchase them, but share them through Instagram in the not-so-distant future.
Meanwhile, these pictures have gone viral and Nightmares has been put in the international spotlight as a result. Is it scary? That depends on what your particular version of terror is. According to Vee, nearly 130,000 people have chickened out by screaming out the safe word (nightmares) during their visit and were brought to the nearest chicken exit and back into the gift shop.
Each day they tally how many chickens call out the safe word and you can see those numbers near the exit of the haunt. Want to be the next chicken? Visit www.NightmaresFearFactory.com for more information. Also, make sure to follow Theme Park University on Twitter and like our Facebook Page!
