It's been a while... did a bunch of Saltwater fishing this summer. Out to the island three times and caught a lot of nice fish. The best moment was when my dad and I double hooked up on big Chinook Salmon. Personal best for both of us at the same moment. Was excellent. Lots of high fives and excitement to go around.
Port Hardy BC is synonymous with amazing salmon fishing. Even though people claimed this was a tough summer we still had an amazing time out there on the ocean. This goes to show that studying charts, online resources and Chinook Salmon behavior goes a long way to you actually hooking up on some of these Trophy Fish. We fished 4 inch Gibbs Delta spoons in green white and glow patterns for the majority of the time coated with Mike's Herring Scent behind Gibbs Delta Lemon Lime Flashers. This is how we get them!

King Faisal coach Dorian Marin claims he is being victimized with Ghana FA ban
By Ameenu Shardow
Follow on Twitter @alooameenu
King Faisal coach Dorian Marin claims he is being victimized with the seven-match touchline ban handed him by the Ghana FA for a purely 'professional' act.
The Romanian trainer's season on the touchline in the Ghanaian top flight is over after being handed the ban for pouring water on the face of an opposing player during Faisal's 0-0 draw with Hearts of Oak on March 16.
The coach is also to cough up GH2000 (about $800) in fines for his unsporting behaviour which happens to be the second time he is being sanctioned in the Ghanaian top flight.
But the outspoken expatriate coach claims his shameful act is an acceptable norm in world football for which he does not deserve to be punished.
"It was a professional action to deny them to score against us and it was just water nothing harmful,†he told Kumasi-based Nhyira FM.
"I'm 40 years in football, look on TV and watch the Champions League they even break the glasses of the bench.
"I don't understand you guys, you are just trying to make a monastery from Ghana football and I don't understand.â€
King Faisal are said to be contemplating an appeal to the ruling made by the Ghana FA's Disciplinary Committee.

I'm going to add my voice to the people clamoring for this fic to be revived. You've got something good on your hands, m'dear. The characterization is top notch, and I particularly enjoy the way you mimic Judal's way of mixing dark emotion with quirky humor. Above all else, I really love the set up you've created. It all seems very organic, proceeding from the end of the series and from itself naturally, while still keeping me on edge with each new twist. My only disappointment is that it doesn't look like we'll be seeing Yujinn reincarnated (or will we?), but that's just me.
In short, this fandom is small and needs all the goodfic it can get! Please don't quit on us now!

QPR appoint Hughes
Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Mark Hughes as their new manager.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @skygraemebailey
Last Updated: 10/01/12 4:31pm
Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Mark Hughes as their new manager.
The 48-year-old has been locked in talks with Rangers since Monday following the departure of Neil Warnock on Sunday.
Hughes has now agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal to take charge at Loftus Road, which sees him return to management for the first time since he left Fulham last year.
"It's a great feeling to be back in football and to be the manager of QPR," said Hughes.
"I'm fully aware of the challenge in the short and long term and I am genuinely excited about the ambition of the owners.
"Nobody can doubt the history of this great football club and the passion of its fantastically loyal supporters.
"Now the immediate priority is to consolidate our place in the Barclays Premier League, but beyond that, the future is very bright and fills me with great enthusiasm."
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Hughes confirmed he was ready to take charge by starting work on Wednesday.
"It has all happened quite quickly and I am looking forward to getting to work, and I am now going to the training ground to introduce myself and get ready," he said.
"I am a football person, it is what I do so I am looking forward to it."
The club's hierarchy were also delighted to have sealed the appointment, with PPR chairman and owner, Tony Fernandes, saying: "Mark has a proven track record in the Premier League, bringing a wealth of experience at both club and international level.
"He has a great passion to achieve as a manager and has already been hugely successful in his career.
"His ambitions match those of the board and we are delighted to have him at the helm."
QPR vice-chairman, Amit Bhatia, added: "Mark has a great managerial pedigree and has proven over the years to be a very astute manager.
"I am looking forward to working with him to bring success to the club."
QPR CEO, Philip Beard, said: "Having spoken at length with Mark, I know he is brimming with enthusiasm and anticipation about the challenge of taking QPR forward and I believe he is the perfect choice to deliver the success we all desire."

TEMPE, Ariz. – What began as another scintillating Mike Trout play ended as a case study in baseball's emerging instant replay procedures.
In the first inning of the Angels' 4-4 tie against the Dodgers on Thursday, Trout hit a liner that dropped in front of Yasiel Puig and went to the wall. Trout circled the bases, but he was thrown out at home trying for an inside-the-park homer.
That's when things got interesting.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia came out to argue two things: that Trout had beaten the tag with his head-first slide, and also that Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis had been in violation of the new rule prohibiting catchers from blocking the plate before they have the ball.
The rule about blocking the plate – rule 7.13 – is reviewable by umpires without using a managerial challenge. But while they are looking at it, they can also review whether the runner was safe.
Essentially Scioscia got a free challenge, which he lost, because the out call was confirmed.
"The first thing we look at when there's an umpire challenge is whether he's blocking the plate or not, or if the runner deviates from his path trying to score," umpire Gerry Davis said. "But once we go for that reason, we can review the whole play."
Scioscia said he's under the impression that umpires have the discretion to review any play – even in the first six innings – without charging a team with a challenge, but Davis said they can only do that to review rule 7.13 or boundary calls for home runs.
For now, it's all a little messy.
"It's interesting because everybody seems to have a different take," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Mike was interpreting it one way. Then, listening to the umpires, they seem to be interpreting it another way. It's going to be a little crazy at first, especially that play at home."
Angels reliever Dane De La Rosa left the game – after giving up a grand slam – because of tightness in his right forearm. He was taken for tests, results of which were not yet available.
Scioscia said he could tell something was wrong as De La Rosa was pitching. He allowed the first four batters he faced to reach, including a grand slam. He retired two of the next three hitters but then came out, accompanied by a trainer.
"The ball wasn't coming out as easily as it usually does for him," Scioscia said. "It looked like he was fighting himself. It was time to get him out."
In De La Rosa's only other outing of the spring, on Sunday, he walked three and struck out three in a scoreless inning.
Although left-hander Sean Burnett had been telling reporters he hoped to be able to throw off a mound within the next three or four days, Scioscia said the team is taking a more conservative approach, and it might be as long as 10 more days before he does. That could put his availability for opening day in jeopardy. "No doubt, it's cutting it close," Scioscia conceded. "But he'll be ready on his own time. You can't look at a schedule and say, 'He'll be ready by (a certain) day.' He'll be ready on his own time, and we'll see when that is." …
A day after Josh Hamilton took batting practice on the field for the first time since injuring his left calf, he said he's healing "quicker than expected. We're doing it quickly, but doing it safely." Hamilton has missed 10 days with the injury, which was expected to cost him at least two weeks. …
When Chone Figgins walked across the field in the eighth inning to leave the ballpark, he got a few hugs from Scioscia, first base coach Alfredo Griffin and owner Arte Moreno, who was sitting by the dugout. Figgins, a longtime Angel, is trying a comeback with the Dodgers. …
Former NFL linebacker Brian Urlacher is expected to visit the Angels on Friday. Urlacher knows Angels trainer Rick Smith.

The women and I have a few words of wisdom for you this week:
Nobody does art quite like God!
When I'm feeling lost and whiny, this is right where I want to be.
Never take a Christian spouse for granted. Not everyone is so blessed!
What you see on the surface of a situation is often outweighed by what you don't see.
Find a blessing in something that might otherwise annoy you.
These last words of wisdom are all mine. I sit in an office every day surrounded by men who act like this, pretty much all day long. I'm working on Samantha's story with 3 Point of View characters that are male. Today, I started taking notes. This is good stuff and all the research I need!--Sharon

One of the most important things about any school is individuality. Looking at some of the plans for Skyview and Soldotna High, I worry that this particular trait may be lacking.
As a sophomore at Skyview looking forward to a junior and senior year with AP (advanced placement) and honors classes, I am concerned with the new plans involving the block schedules and combined classes.
This is not written to get anyone not to come to Skyview. It's an awesome school with great teachers, fun classes, and an amazing arts program; unfortunately I find a few faults with our new schedule.
One of the most unique things about Skyview is clubs. Every Tuesday and Thursday we have an advisory period; on Thursday we spend that time in a club of our choice such as guitar, art, or green club. From what I have heard this advisory time will now be spent bussing to SoHi, this means that students who take classes at SoHi will loose the chance to be in clubs.
Also, because of the change in advisory schedule, extracurricular activities such as student council and national honor society will be conflicting, both competing to have meetings during lunch. This gives less of an incentive to be involved in school (you would have to give up your lunch periods).
Another problem I find is that incoming eighth-graders have less of an incentive to come to a school that has core classes at other schools. The new career based classes are not something that will draw students that don't know what they want to do for the rest of their lives. These students will be left to take only part of their classes at the school of their choice.
Lastly, if Skyview students start taking classes in SoHi's school, where will it end? Do I have to be afraid that in a couple of years Skyview will no longer have a band? A choir? How about language classes?
I wonder how far our administration will go before they realize that Skyview is loosing its identity. To be honest it's not the prospect of doing a class at SoHi that is terrible, but the prospect of loosing Skyview's individuality and opportunities to draw new students.
This article is the opinion of Katie Clonan. Clonan is a sophomore at Skyview High School.

This was solved by using instead the pIH902 vector which puts a short amino acid linker between the MBP and your protein. This apparently makes it better accessible to Xa and to the amylose column. It worked a lot better. The problem with binding of the MBP to amylose after cleavage (we had that problem too) was because we could not really get rid of the maltose. What we eventually discovered was that simple passing the cleaved mixture over an hydroxy apatite ultrogel column separated the MBP and our protein beautifully. The MBP sticks to the column and our protein (APRT) runs through. this may not work for all proteins and you may have to fiddle with the salt concentrations of the HA column and the sample, but in our case it worked very well.

Is he for real?
Lance Armstrong is reportedly planning to claim that the US government should have known that doping was being practised on the former US Postal Service cycling team as he prepares his defence to the whistleblower action originally brought by former team mate Floyd Landis, which the government last week confirmed it was joining.
The disgraced cyclist, last year banned for life and stripped of results including the seven Tour de France titles he won between 1999 and 2005, also aims to argue that with US Postal's sponsporship ending in 2004, the case is subject to a six-year statute of limitations, reports USA Today.
Armstrong aggressively denied allegations of doping throughout his career, finally confessing to having used performance enhancing drugs during the period he dominated the Tour de France in a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey last month.
According to a source connected to Armstrong who insisted on remaining anonymous, Armstrong's lawyers will say that the government was aware of doping on the US Postal team, or should have been aware of it, and took no steps to prevent it.
"We will say there was enough information [regarding doping on the team] to put you on notice, and you should have filed a false claim before," the source said.
The stakes are high. Up until 2004, US Postal paid some $31 million dollars to sponsor the team, and under the False Claims Act the action has been brought under, up to three times that amount could have to be paid back.
As the person who initiated the action, Landis stands to gain 25 per cent or more of any sum recovered.
When the government confirmed last week that it was joining the action, Stuart Delery, principal deputy assistant attorney general for the civil division of the Department of Justice, said that Armstrong and others had "knowingly" broken their "contractual promise to play fair and abide by the rules" by doping.
He added: "The Postal Service contract with Tailwind required the team to enter cycling races, wear the Postal Service logo, and follow the rules banning performance enhancing substances – rules that Lance Armstrong has now admitted he violated."
Tony Anikeeff, a lawyer with no connection to the case but who handles this type of case told the newspaper: "The law is that if the government knew of the fraud, you can't prosecute someone for fraud."
He said he believes the government's tack "will be that he denied it vociferously for years and kept them in the dark," but says that the statute of limitations is a problem the government will need to overcome.
With Landis having filed his lawsuit in 2010, if the statute of limitations were strictly applied, it would at most apply only to 2004.
Anikeeff believes the government will argue that the six-year limitation does not apply because of the way Armstrong and others sought to conceal their conspiracy.
That, in turn, provides the explanation for why Armstrong's defence team will seek to argue that the government should have known about doping on the team.
When it announced its decision in the Armstrong case last October, the United States Anti Doping Agency said that it would not apply the eight-year statute of limitations that applies under the World Anti-Doping Code because of the element of conspiracy in the case.
Other issues that may be argued include that Armstrong had no contractual relationship with the US Postal Service itself, with the government agency's sponsorship contract being with the team's management company, Tailwind Sports.

What about Brunyeel, Hamilton, Ferrari, Hincapie, Andreu....? Especially as some of them were at it before Lance even arrived at USPS!
Lance deserves to be made to pay back his ill-gotten gains, but so do the rest of the dopers. If Lance defrauded US government then the whole team did.
I can't see them winning the case though. Lance never made any claims, false or otherwise directly to USPS and Tailwind reportedly didn't specify riding clean in the contract. Never mind the statute of limitations, his "everyone was at it" argument does actually work here to some extent - no-one is going to believe USPS didn't have any suspicions at least.
Those who have followed the career of Lance Armstrong will not be surprised to learn he is now employing a Chewbacca Defense. It is totally in character: a cheat in sports is hardly likely to play fair in the rest of life. Besides, the American legal system is so screwed up these days, it'll probably work.
I do feel some "sympathy" for Lance and his stance that he is being made the scapegoat. Sadly the reason for the majority of that his how he behaved does behave. When you are a bully those you have picked on will be awaiting your fall with anticipation.
But can't he see that as the others are now being held up as virtuous by (finally) admitting fully there misdeeds that he is only harming himself by not going the whole hog.
It is very hard (for me anyway) to take either side in this. LA deserves what he gets but don't now tell me that Tyler/Floyd etc are paragons of virtue.
No one is coming out of this well.
You don't expect him to mount a defense ? I suppose you'd all just write a $90 million cheque ? Get a grip, he hasn't come up with this himself, it's what his lawyers think is his best chance at keep the cash.
Can't believe LAndis stands to land 25%, who says cheats never prosper ?
When a rat gets cornered it will do anything to escape.
Armstrong is in the corner. His lawyer Herman is looking more of an idiot everytime he opens his mouth.
Will enjoy how they slowly make Armstrong into a poor person.
I also hope all the others invloved in this, Wesiel, Stapleton, Knaggs, Ochowiz, Burke etc all get their posteriors well and truly kicked and kicked hard!

Nobody. Lance has certainly prospered to the tune of probably several hundred million bucks. And he's a cheat.
CraigS - please, just stop denying what has been established and batting on Lance's side because you liked, and maybe still do like, him. Many of us have liked seeing him ride at some point (over the field, falling off with the bag in the handlebar incident etc). But he's a cheat, bully, fraudster, misogynist, embezzler, all-round shyster. He WAS the USPS team. He was a magnificent planner, organiser, operator of a doping machine. He did it better than anybody. So it is about him. The others were bit players apart from Ferrari, who was the pharmaceutical brains of course. And you've seen the USPS sponsorship contract? It permitted him to ride doped? Anything that's against the law - as doping was then (although not in Spain but that's another shitty part of the the picture) - isn't allowed if it isn't mentioned in a contract. And as for Lance never claimed directly about not doping, jeez, you really are clutching at straws.
I don't like him at all but that doesn't mean I think all the other cheats should be forgotten and allowed to get away with it or even to profit further from it.
I'm not defending him at all, a lot of comments here are missing the point. He isn't being sued for doping, he's being sued for making false claims to gain access to federal funds. There's a big difference legally and only the former has been established as fact, the first hurdle for the prosecution will be to prove he did actually make a false claim directly to USPS.
I'd like to see them take every penny but his defence has a good chance of standing up in court for this specific case.
This is the US government going after him - the Novitsky case was pulled for political purposes, we know, but that's not relevant now the election's over and he's 'fessed up, albeit partially. So the main argument here is going to be the statute of limitations, not whether of not the claim is a good one (which it will be for public policy reasons).
As an American cyclist and fan of sport cycling, I am appalled at the total lack of morals this wanker has. We here in America, are throughly disgusted with LA and those that participated with him in their fraudulent charade of a "cycling team." He, along with the other cheats at USPS, deserve jail time.

What's the definition of stalking? What are the stalking laws? What are the penalties?
Kansas statutes define stalking as "an intentional and malicious following or course of conduct directed at a specific person when such following or course of conduct seriously alarms, annoys or harasses the person, and which serves no legitimate purpose.''
Course of conduct is defined as a series of acts over a period of time that show a "continuity of purpose and which would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress and must actually cause substantial emotional distress to the person.''
Stalking is a felony. A defendant convicted of stalking could receive a sentence of from five to seven months in prison if he or she either has no prior criminal record or one prior misdemeanor conviction. However, the offense is considered a presumptive probation crime under Kansas sentencing guidelines.

The Lowest Road to the Highest Office: Gaffe Grenades, Faux Outrage, and an Utter Disconnect From Our Real Problems
Saturday night I was watching C-SPAN (isn't that what everybody does on Saturday nights?) and I saw an amazing thing -- a speech by Mitt Romney in which he was relaxed and natural, making jokes that weren't painfully awkward. Had I entered a different dimension? Actually, I had traveled back to February 2000, when Romney was addressing the National Press Club. I found the difference between the Romney of 2000 and the Romney of 2012 mesmerizing. It made me wonder: why is running for president so diminishing? What is it about the process that turns thoughtfulness and confidence into desperation and insincerity? We have 25 million people unemployed or underemployed. And yet our presidential campaign has devolved into a never-ending contest to see which side can catch other side in the worst "gaffe."

Every woman has a bit of wicked daayan in her: Konkona Sen Sharma
National Award-winning actress Konkona Sen Sharma will try to scare audiences in Ek Thi Daayan. Before she gets talking about the serious stuff, she tells us about being mysterious, and why she hasn't called anybody a daayan in recent times
You have two films lined up for release — Goynar Baksho (Bengali) and Ek Thi Daayan. Are you happy with your post-pregnancy career?
I am very happy. My mother wanted to make Goynar Baksho (Jewellery Box) for almost a decade but because of funds, the film took time to materialise. The movie is very close to our hearts. It is not a typical mainstream film. But it's a funny film which needed modern technology. I play a young woman who is married into a zamindar family which is falling into ruin. An old widowed aunt dies and leaves behind a box of jewellery. It also features Moushumi Chatterjee and Saswata Chatterjee (of Kahaani fame).
Are Bengali actors getting their due in Bollywood?
I don't know. And I don't care honestly. I just want to make the kind of films I want to make.
In Ek Thi Daayan, there are three heroines and one hero. Is the same ratio applicable in the world of daayans?
(Laughs) Do you mean there are more daayans than pisaachs (male equivalent of a daayan)? I really don't know. I have never thought about it.
Do you believe in daayans?
I don't believe in daayans but I am not denying the presence of the supernatural. I don't know whether it is good or bad. Not everything in the world can be comprehended by the five senses. But the question is whether there's something
How do you define a daayan?
They have inverted feet, and a really long choti. Their arms are long and stretchable.
Have you called anyone a daayan recently? Why?
No. Daayan is not in my lingo (giggles).
Arrange in terms of their daayan quotient:
a) Konkona b) Huma Qureshi c) Kalki Koechlin d)Ekta Kapoor. (Ponders) They are daayans in their own way. Every woman has a bit of wicked daayan in her.
What is the scariest story you have ever heard?
I get scared quite easily. Movies such as The Ring, Omen, The Grudge or The Exorcism of Emily Rose have stayed with me even after a week. I quite enjoy the horror genre.
Is that why you chose to be part of Ek Thi Daayan?
I have never acted in a supernatural thriller before. All the characters in the film, whether they are daayans or not, have shades of grey. You are constantly made to wonder who the daayan is. It is fun to play a character with grey shades. I am bored of playing earnest, serious, good-girl kind of roles. Also, my dad (Mukul Sharma) has written the story on which this film is based; it was a short three-page story published some 30-35 years ago. My dad and Vishal Bhardwaj became friends over the last few years and they developed the story into a screenplay. That also added to the excitement. And Ekta had done a brilliant job with Ragini MMS. I knew the film was in good hands. Emraan, Kalki and Huma are all fine actors. I had many reasons to agree to do to the film.
Women are more often than not the victims in horror films. How does it feel to have a female antagonist?
It feels good. For too long, these films have had men. But, I am not an expert on Bollywood villains. The stronger the villain, the stronger the hero looks.
What was it like to play a mysterious woman who could be a daayan?
It was great fun. Though we have been pretty tight-lipped about the suspense of the film.
Are you mysterious in real life?
Not much. But it depends, who I am with. I am a very straightforward but reserved person.

Free fried chicken is latest in trend of restaurant offers to gun-toting customers
A Louisiana fried chicken joint has joined a trend of restaurants across the country offering free food or discounts to customers who agree to bring their guns to dinner — but is it turning off other patrons?
Randal Neel, the owner of Chicken Express in Bossier City, told KLVT that he was making a statement in support of gun rights as the Louisiana Legislature considers more than a dozen new gun laws, including efforts to make firearms easier and cheaper to sell.
"You don't get a chance often to be heard," Neel explained. "We've had probably our busiest Saturday we've ever had."
While most of the 21 bills in the Louisiana Legislature that deal with firearms are pro-gun, a recent poll found that 85 percent of Louisianans support expanded background checks in the wake of the December mass shooting in Newton, Connecticut.
In recent months, restaurant owners across the country have offered special deals for gun owners. In February alone, a Frozen Yogurt shop in Utah and four businesses in Virginia all offered discounts to customers who brought in their weapons or concealed carry permits.
Last week, Langtry Café in Brownsdale, Minnesota announced that it was offering up to 25 percent off to customers who visibly displayed a firearm while in the dining room.
"I haven't seen anybody walk out, but I'm sure there's a possibility that they may be offended," Langtry Café owner Steve Nagel told KAAL.

Sept. 11 aftershocks hit arts world / Houston cancels McNally opera
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, November 21, 2001
The nation is nervous, its people worried about what will happen next. The world seems as if it's wobbling on its axis, and the things we used to be able to take for granted seem less certain now.
The effects of the great autumn of our discontent are showing up in the nation's economic indicators and now, quite predictably, in the performing arts world as well. Given how much money it takes to produce an opera, and how much planning is required, large U.S. companies are scaling down their plans. The Houston Grand Opera recently decided against two productions for the 2003 season, including Jake Heggie and Terrence McNally's "Dead Man Walking," commissioned by the San Francisco Opera and a big hit last year.

Although the production had not been announced publicly, it was on the books until Houston decided to play it safe and cancel it. Penciled in for the cast were the stars of the San Francisco production, Susan Graham and Frederica von Stade, and baritone Bo Skovhus.
Houston General Director David Gockley flew to San Francisco to break the news to Heggie, at the same time reassuring him that his commission for the 2004 season is not in danger. The details of the commission haven't been announced yet.
Here in San Francisco, General Director Pamela Rosenberg is getting ready to announce the 2002-03 season, which is actually her first. She's overseen the current season, but it was planned by the company's former generalissimo, Lotfi Mansouri. Many of next season's productions are already known, but she'll unveil the whole package Dec. 5, including casting and the details of one of the most anticipated events on the national opera scene, the first U.S. production of Messiaen's "St. Francis of Assisi."
WHAT A DEAL: More than 50 arts organizations have teamed up with Theatre Bay Area and the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau to make it impossible for you to say no to attending performances throughout the Bay Area.
The program is simple. Buy a ticket to one event and present the stub at another participating theater, dance or music performance and get that ticket at half price. Among the participating organizations are Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the San Francisco Symphony, the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts, the Exploratorium and "Beach Blanket Babylon." The program is expected to last until the end of the year and is called "Bay Area Theater and Arts Want You," or BATAWY.
Wait, isn't that a character in the Harry Potter movie?
Call (415) 433-7827 or log on to www.theatrebayarea.org.
Speaking of young four-eyes: "Beach Blanket Babylon" has added a Harry Potter character to the show.
Get ready for art directly spinning out of the events of Sept. 11. First out of the gate is "911, Where Are You?!," a 90-minute performance work described by its creators, KayLynn Raschke and Dore Everett, as part ritual, part theater. The two San Francisco artists were in New York on Sept. 11. Their work will be presented at 8 p.m. Nov. 30 at ODC Theatre, 3153 17th St., San Francisco, to benefit Operation Teddy Care: Helping Kids Bear Adversity. Call (415) 863-9834.
The San Francisco Symphony will honor tickets for the San Jose Symphony's canceled Nov. 30 or Dec. 1 concerts at tonight's concert at Cupertino's Flint Center. Call the Symphony box office at (415) 864-6000.
Tickets are now on sale for New Conservatory Theatre Center's "Conversation With Lily Tomlin," 7:30 p.m. Dec. 10, to benefit the theater's YouthAware program. Tickets are $150 and $100; call (415) 861-8972.
In other news from NCTC, the theater has extended its run of "Tapestry," celebrating the music of Carole King, through Jan. 6.
The Magic Theatre has received an AT&T FirstStage Award of $10,000 to support the development of "Zachariah Mosley's Neon Blues," a new play by Neena Beber. The play, by the author of "A Common Vision," staged by the Magic in 1999, is about a boy who comes up with the idea of inventing neon paint.

A part of sustaining a swimming pool, spa or sizzling tub contains getting ready it for those months whenever you wont be utilizing it. Also known as closing your pool, or pool closing, the time to deal with this task varies, relying on the climate or region during which you live. Most consultants consider that swimming pools needs to be closed for the season when nighttime temperatures are in the 40s and daytime highs are within the mid 60s to low 70s. In the event you shut it too soon, you threat the possibility of algae overgrowth. Should you wait till timber actually begin to shed their leaves, obviously youve bought a giant mess to contend with.
Heres How: Wait: Why Winterize? In keeping with the Affiliation of Pool & Spa Professionals, its essential to winterize the plumbing, gear and pool construction earlier than all or any of these parts freeze. The APSP advises pool homeowners to completely inspect the pool or spa structure and all gear to make sure every little thing is in working order. If something needs to be repaired, ideally you need to do it (or have it carried out) before closing your pool for the season, if theres enough time before the first freeze. Clean Water: Thoroughly vacuum your pool or spa and vacuum wastewater to the appropriate location. In case your filter doesnt have a waste indicator, vacuum on the filter place only. When relevant, use a conveyable pump to hoover directly to waste. Water Treatment: Steadiness the waters pH, calcium hardness and whole alkalinity. Chemically deal with the water with a sanitizer, stabilizer and algaecide or treat with the recommended amount of winterizing chemicals. Why do you need winterizing remedy? In order that the water doesnt turn into corrosive when the temperature drops to the freezing point or below. Winterizing chemical substances shall be added both before draining or previous to putting the pool cover. Again, examine the instructions that include your chemical substances or cover. Decrease Water Degree: After closing the valve on the skimmer line, you must decrease the water stage to about 18 inches beneath the pools coping. How far you lower the extent relies on your sort of pool. Step 5 suggests water ranges in keeping with various kinds of pool covers. To make certain, verify the directions or web site of your pool cover manufacturer. Covers and Water Levels: Vinyl-Lined: Lower 1 inch / 2 cm below the skimmer mouth, however extra in regions that get heavy rain or snow. Plaster End with Solid Materials Cover: Lower 1 6 inches / 2.5 15 cm beneath the skimmer mouth or tile line, whichever is lower. Painted or Pure-End with Solid Materials Cover: Lower 6 inches / 15 cm below skimmer mouth. Mesh Cover or No Cover: Lower 18 -24 inches / 45 -61 cm under skimmer mouth. Computerized Cowl: The water level should not be lower than the underside of the skimmer mouth. Hydrostatic Strain: This can destroy a drained, inground concrete pool if the precise precautions arent taken (i.e., leaving the bottom drain valves open). If unsure, its higher to your pool for those who go away it nearly stuffed with water quite than draining it. Piping: Drain the water and blow water out of all piping, per the manufacturers instructions. To blow water out of circulation strains, use a tank vacuum cleaner on reverse circulate or an air compressor. Additionally attempt to drain as a lot water as doable from the heater and filter. Add unhazardous antifreeze which is completely different than automotive antifreeze and is offered at most pool provide stores. This solution ought to protect water from freezing to 10 ° F / -12° C. Valves: Totally drain valves, making sure that any valves below water degree are sealed securely. Use an electrical warmth tape for strains below water level that could possibly be uncovered to freezing however cant be drained or full of antifreeze. Accessories and Gear: Remove and clean all handrails, ladders and diving boards. Try to retailer in a cool, dry place and store diving boards flat, if possible. Lighting: Take away lights if they've less than 18 inches / forty five cm of water above them. Wrap them in plastic and retailer them in a dry place. In the event you absolutely haven't any storage room, put weights on the plastic-wrapped lights and place them at the bottom of the pool. To be on the protected facet, remove the fuse or flip off the circuit breaker so lights cant be turned on accidentally. Pump: Now its time to empty the pump by eradicating the plugs. One other in style method is to get out your helpful moist/dry shop vac to remove all water from the pump housing and strainer compartment. Add ½ 1 cup / .12 .24 liters of the pool antifreeze resolution to the pump housing without removing the drain plugs. Dont forget to placed on the strainer / pump lid. For cast-iron pumps, coat all drain-hole threads with an acceptable lubricant (ask your pool supplier) to stop winter corrosion. Motor: If you happen to stay in a cold, northern local weather, youll want to take away the motor from the pump housing and store it in a heat, dry place. Dont neglect to disconnect the power that results in the motor before removal. Timer and Circuit Breaker: If in case you have one, remove the timer lugs and set to off. Additionally turn off the circuit breaker or take away the fuses from the pool circuit. Filters:Utilizing a sand cleaner because the pool water is lowered, backwash the sand filters 3 5 instances longer than regular, however not while vacuuming. Take away the drain plug and open drain cocks together with the air aid on top of the filter. Position the multi-port valve to winter. The air-relief valve needs to be left open. For different types of filters like cartridge or DE models examine the manufacturers instructions. After winterizing the strains and pump, all filters must be completely drained. Drain plugs must be not noted, but apply a powerful lubricant to the threads to prevent rusting or corrosion. Cowl: Final but not least is the all-vital cover, which must be secured tightly to keep out particles and protect what lies beneath that will be your pool till spring.

LJ kicked off BookExpo today with our annual Day of Dialog, featuring Jon Michaud, John Lithgow, Karin Slaughter, and other authors, book editors, and librarians.
In addition to Editors' Picks (look for a list of forthcoming big titles to be posted soon) and moving quotes from Lithgow (more coverage to come), the second panel, Truth or Dare: Presenting the Past in History and Fiction, explored the differences and similarites between historical fiction and history.
Five authors, most with backgrounds in journalism, and one librarian spoke. Tony Horowitz (Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid that Sparked the Civil War, Holt, October) opened by joking about his personal experience with the different genres; he described his wife, Pulitzer Prize' winning novelist Geraldine Brooks, writing historical fiction 20 feet away from me'Ķcalmly gazing at the screen, making stuff up as he searches through piles of research.
Amy Waldman (The Submission: A Novel, Farrar, August) said that in contrast to the grueling aspects of journalism, with fiction there's a different rigor, but there's more freedom. You have no idea as you write what's going to happen. Novelist Julie Otsaka (The Buddha in the Attic, Knopf, August) researches as much as possible before writing and then tries to forget it. A useful tactic considering Pam Lewis's (A Young Wife: A Novel, Simon & Schuster, June) sentiment: In fiction it's the parts that are true that you have to throw away and discusses the importance of research as well as not letting it show. Yet nonfiction author David S. Reynolds (Mightier Than the Sword: Uncle Tom's Cabin and the Battle for America, Norton, June) emphasized a certain truth about fiction informed by an imaginative sympathy fiction evokes in readers.
DWI librarian Kathryn Lynip spoke of the work of bringing history and historical fiction to readers and the importance of knowing your reader before sending them one way or another. Although to some patrons the concept of history that reads like fiction is enticing, that phrasing may make another reader question the veracity of a serious piece of nonfiction. Librarians can help readers cross the boundary between history and historical fiction, as moderator and senior editor in the LJ book review Margaret Heilbrun phrased it, but Lynip emphasized, we don't need to change what genre they read in.

EBay Inc. lost an appeals court bid to halt a ruling that ordered it to stop online sales of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton perfumes.
A Paris appeals court upheld a 50,000-euro ($80,000) fine for each day that EBay allowed the sales to continue, LVMH said. The order was part of a 40-million-euro verdict last week over claims that San Jose-based EBay didn't do enough to block the sale of fake goods.

Basically, for about 24 - 48 hours, an area of skin (generally from the size of a softball to basketball) will become extremely tender and
to the touch ... almost as if it were bruised significantly. It is so tender that clothes brushing against it is painful. The problem is, there is no visual evidence of it. I went to the doctor and felt as though he was insinuating that I was making up the symptoms because he could not see anything. Very, very frustrating.

3 days ago I woke up without the bump, but throughout the day the area around the left side of my vagina became increasingly
. It wasnt till i came home that i took a look at it. Its a hard pea-sized bump under my skin, and can be pushed around a bit. I was thinking it was a cyst, but is it normal for it to develop within 8 hours? I normally have a bit of vaginal discharge, but it seems to have increased the past few days. Any ideas for what it might be?

A few days ago I noticed a
, reddish swollen lump on my left inner thigh, right along my bikini line. It has since gotten larger (about the size of a nickel, and more elongated now). It only feels sore if I press on it or rub against it. It seems like a soft lump that moves around with the skin. Last night I applied a warm washcloth to it for about 30 minutes, which made it feel better. Could this be a swollen lymph node, or maybe an ingrown hair?

|"If we'd made love last night I'd have to stay. Or you'd have to leave."
|Time: 112 mins.
Rating: R
Genre: Thriller/Romance/Drama
Won Academy Awards for Best Film Editing and Original Screenplay. Nominations for Best Actor (Ford), Art Direction, Cinematography, Director, Score and Best Picture.
It had been a long time since I saw this movie. Probably not all the way through for at least 10 years, maybe since it was in the theater 16 years ago. What I remember are the big moments, the intensity of emotions. I thought it was more complicated and intriguing than it turned out to be in a recent viewing. It's still a very powerful film, but just not for the reasons I thought. At that point in my life, I pretty much went to see Harrison Ford in whatever it was he made. For the most part, he's had a blessed career making films that are extremely entertaining with few out-and-out stinkers. WITNESS was a big step in a completely new direction for him, one that didn't entail special effects or space travel. He has one of the most expressive faces in the business, which is put to poignant use here in this quiet romantic thriller. It's the acting, more than the plot twists, which are fairly obvious, that glues your eyes to the screen. Ford, as the Philadelphia cop, and McGillis as the young Amish widow, emit so much sexual tension you could cut it with a knife. It is their path to fulfilling a passion with no future that is the core of this film...and what keeps me coming back for more.
The film opens in Amish country at a funeral. Rachel (McGillis) is a young woman now forced to raise her 8-year-old son Samuel (Haas) alone. They leaves the farm to visit her sister and try to get over their grief. While in the train station, Samuel, who's enjoying his first foray into modern society, gets more than he bargained for. He becomes an unwitting witness to a brutal murder of an undercover cop in the mens' room. Rachel wants nothing to do with this situation, but the cop in charge, John Book (Ford), refuses to let then leave until they at least try to identify the killer. What Book discovers is that this murder was far from random and reaches the highest levels of the department. In most films, that would be giving something away, but here it's not exactly a surprise because this isn't a mystery. John takes it upon himself to protect this family, since they are completely helpless. Injured by one of the murderers, played by Danny Glover, he manages to spirit them back to their farm. Rachel's father-in-law Eli (Rubes) is highly displeased to see her take this outsider into her home. However, she has no choice. He saved their lives, it's her duty to return the favor.
It's no surprise that the community wants nothing to do with this policeman. His presence will only bring trouble. Rachel refuses to hear their arguments. Until he is well, they will just have to deal with the rumors and innuendo. If he dies, they'll have to figure out a way to dispose of his body. Besides, how often does an Amish woman get to bath a man as hot as Harrison Ford. She may be repressed, but she ain't dead. As she nurses him back to health, a bond begins to grow between them. The attraction is mutual, however, they both now it could never work out in the end. John attempts to fit in as best he can, but it's clear to the community, as well as Rachel, that the sooner he leaves the better off they'll be. He's covered their tracks as best he can, but the men who are after them aren't going to quit looking until they're all dead. They have far too much to lose. On his last night, they are unable to quell their passion for one another. They know it can never be, so they make sure it will be an evening to remember. As will be the following morning, when the 3 men on their trail finally make the connection and come calling, shotguns blazing. The final confrontation, evens the odds and brings the case to justice.
Instead of the same old formulaic thriller, Weir and company deliver a film of poetic style and brutal emotions, marrying the Amish simplicity with the urban chaos. It's no wonder Ford and McGillis are instantly attracted to one another. Neither has ever met anyone of the opposite sex quite like them. Ford is sensitive, intelligent, slightly arrogant and powerful. McGillis is a natural beauty, strong, smart and innocent. To be sure, they don't grow 'em like her in the big city. Here's a woman in touch with her sexuality who has no need to flaunt it. When she catches him watching her bath, the look she gives him is full of yearning without being slutty or pathetic. Not an east thing to pull off. He, of course, looks like every other dumfounded male when breasts are being exposed, though he has the class to eventually look away and not take advantage of the situation. Their relationship has many layers and you can almost imagine that if they tried they might actually be able to make it work.
The murder and subsequent manhunt are merely tools to bring these two divergent worlds together, which is why the film exposes the killers in the first act. Besides, it's not the murder that's important, it's how far the killers are willing to go to keep their actions a secret that creates the tension. What do they know and how much time do our heroes have before their location is no longer safe. The story brings these elements in, in just the right increments, keeping the potential for danger right under the surface. We know that John Book is a good cop, but so are his opponents and the outcome is never clear. It will not be a happy ending for the lovers, but how they come to part is anybody's guess. What rounds out this film and makes it more than a traditional romance are the performances by the young Lukas Haas and the elderly Jan Rubes. Both bring gravity to the situation, though by very different means. Haas gives a brilliantly understated turn as a boy who remains untouched by the violence thrust into his quiet world. Rubes is the fatherly voice of reason, who tries to protect what's left of his family from the pain of the outside world.
The music and cinematography work beautifully to convey all the emotions of these characters. The light in certain scenes is pure magic. Weir weaves a timeless tale of forbidden passion and unrelenting sacrifice. This is definitely one of Ford's more well-rounded performances. Worthy of Oscar attention, certainly of all his roles, though probably not if one considers the competition. McGillis does a first-rate job, full of promise of things to come. Unfortunately, she never found a role as good as this again. TOP GUN could only be considered a step down on the acting scale. Glover's role is small and only worth mentioning because he became a star. Otherwise, there's nothing standout about it. He's a bad guy, who's corrupt and evil. He gets the job done. This is certainly one of Weir's better works. If you're looking for a film both male and female can enjoy, this engaging thriller is one to check out. It is a timeless piece of cinema, just as touching and entertaining today as it was long ago. Certainly not perfect, but definitely worth the time.

"Arizona May Put State Prisons in Private Hands"The title of this post is the headline of this interesting New York Times article. Here is how it starts:
One of the newest residents on Arizona's death row, a convicted serial killer named Dale Hausner, poked his head up from his television to look at several visitors strolling by, each of whom wore face masks and vests to protect against the sharp homemade objects that often are propelled from the cells of the condemned.
It is a dangerous place to patrol, and Arizona spends $4.7 million each year to house inmates like Mr. Hausner in a super-maximum-security prison. But in a first in the criminal justice world, the state's death row inmates could become the responsibility of a private company.
State officials will soon seek bids from private companies for 9 of the state's 10 prison complexes that house roughly 40,000 inmates, including the 127 here on death row. It is the first effort by a state to put its entire prison system under private control.
The privatization effort, both in its breadth and its financial goals, demonstrates what states around the country — broke, desperate and often overburdened with prisoners and their associated costs — are willing to do to balance the books. Arizona officials hope the effort will put a $100 million dent in the state's roughly $2 billion budget shortfall.
"Let's not kid ourselves," said State Representative Andy Biggs, a Republican who supports private prisons. "If we were not in this economic environment, I don't think we'd be talking about this with the same sense of urgency."
Private prison companies generally build facilities for a state, then charge them per prisoner to run them. But under the Arizona legislation, a vendor would pay $100 million up front to operate one or more prison complexes. Assuming the company could operate the prisons more cheaply or efficiently than the state, any savings would be equally divided between the state and the private firm.
The privatization move has raised questions — including among some people who work for private prison companies — about the private sector's ability to handle the state's most hardened criminals. While executions would still be performed by the state, officials said, the Department of Corrections would relinquish all other day-to-day operations to the private operator and pay a per-diem fee for each prisoner.
I wonder if years from now we will be debating whether there needs to be a public option for prison care.

This is dumb. The fundamental problem is that prisons are a hotbed for lawsuits. In exchange for $100 million Arizona is transferring responsibility but not liability. Whatever money the state may save running the prisons they will pay out again in lawsuits.
Posted by: Daniel | Oct 24, 2009 1:29:23 PM
The more fundmental issue than the one Daniel notes is that of society's responsibility for the actions its officials undertake in its name. If the people of Arizona or any other jurisdiction want to prosecute and incacerate people, they assume and undertake the burden of paying for the care and housing of the inmates. In flush times, it's easy to be a "tough-on-crime" politician. In hard times, politicians have to choose between prisons and education. Michigan, where I practice, has clearly chosen prisons, spending about 20% more on prisons than on its entire system of higher education, and has recently cut per-pupil state education spending for students in the K-12 grades by $292 per pupil per year.
Posted by: Greg Jones | Oct 26, 2009 4:48:05 PM
Arizona also publicly announced plans to sell government buildings and lease them back to save money. Arizona and the rest of the US is doomed if we don't spend more on education. Do these politicians have a brain to use? Greg Jones give one of the best reasons to not privatize prisons, those prisoners are the responsibility of the government that incarcerated them. Do we really want a company that expects to make money running prisoners, to "protect society" from prisoners? Create more companies that live off government handouts- That will solve our economic woes.
Posted by: Libertarianman | Oct 26, 2009 9:56:31 PM
i think it would be cheaper and easier to simply take the sharp objects tossed by the inmates and simply RETURN THEM into a painful place.
