The musical "Mamma Mia!" is based on the songs of the Swedish pop group ABBA, which was popular in the 1970s and early 1980s, a time before many of the people involved with the Paramount Theatre's production of the show were born.
"I knew very little about the history of the music," said Tom Vendafreddo, who is the musical director on the show. "I was born three years after ABBA disbanded. But I don't think of the generation gap as a detriment to the show. We are learning about the music of that time."
Paramount Theatre's Artistic Director Jim Corti, who is directing "Mamma Mia!," agrees.
"This is pop music of the '70s with...

Extreme Speed Motorsports Qualifies at Petit Le Mans P1 And P2 - UPDATED
Extreme Speed Motorsports Qualifies at Petit Le Mans P1 And P2 - UPDATED
The Extreme Speed Motorsports Ferraris dominated Friday's qualifying session at Petit Le Mans – qualifying 1-2 and locking in the front row for tomorrow's season finale at Road Atlanta.
Setting new records for the team and race circuit, Guy Cosmo, co-driver of the No. 02 Ultimat Vodka Ferrari 458 Italia, earned his first career pole position, the second consecutive pole for ESM, and set a new qualifying track record for Road Atlanta for the season finale of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) presented by Tequila Patrón.
In the brief 15-minute session, the chrome and blue Ultimat Vodka-livered Ferraris were fixtures atop the charts. At the conclusion of the session, Cosmo and Toni Vilander, co-driver of the No. 01 Ultimat Vodka Ferrari 458 Italia, were listed as the front row starters for the 15th Annual Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda on Saturday.
The 1-2 qualifying effort is the first time team history that the Ferraris will start side-by-side from the start of the highly competitive GT class.
Cosmo earned his first career ALMS pole on Friday afternoon by lapping the No. 02 Ferrari around then 2.54-mile, 12-turn circuit in 1:18.677 (116.222 mph). Cosmo will pilot the No. 02 with season-long teammate Ed Brown, and Atlanta native Anthony Lazzaro.
Vilander qualified the No. 01 car less than a tenth of a second behind Cosmo with a best lap of 1:18.729 (116.145 mph). Vilander, a factory Ferrari driver, joins season-long regulars Scott Sharp and Johannes van Overbeek.
The final race of the 2012 American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón is Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda. The 1,000-mile/10-hour race from Road Atlanta is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, Oct 20. Full, live coverage starts at 11:15 a.m. ET on ESPN3.ABC's broadcast begins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 21.
The ESM #01 that qualified P2 comes home after 10 hours of racing in P1 of the GT Class 30.68s ahead of Antonio Garcia driving the #3 Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1. On the last leg, Toni Vilander piloted home the Ferrari F458 Italia he had shared driving duties with team owner Scott Sharp and season co-driving teammate Johannes van Overbeek. It is a bit fitting that the factory driver from Ferrari, who flew in from the mother country of Italy, was able to be the cherry on top of the American campaigned Ferrari team's cake of a win in the Petit Le Mans which serves as the final race of the 2012 season. The #55 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing BMW E92 M3 driven by Bill Auberlen came in third.
The #01 Ultimat Vodka/Action Against Hunger Ferrari 458 Italia started from the GT Class pole and was the dominant race car to beat during the endurance event. In his closing stint, Vilander had a 42 second lead with eight laps remaining in the race, but as the race came to a close, fuel strategy became an issue.
Vilander responded to the challenge and claimed his decisive win with only two liters of fuel remaining in the Ferrari's tank.
The overall finishing position for the #01 Ferrari was 12th overall, out of 42 total entrants.
This win marks the second win for the #01 this season, with the other in July for Sharp and van Overbeek at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
This season, the #01 team has earned five third place finishes (Long Beach, Lime Rock, Road America, Baltimore, VIR) and two wins (Canadian Tire Motorsports Park and Road Atlanta). Based on this strong showing, Sharp and van Overbeek are ranked second in the very challenging ALMS GT driver's championship.
The accolades continued at Road Atlanta with the #01 receiving the Michelin Green X Challenge Award for being the cleanest, fastest and most efficient race car in the GT class. ESM received the award during at Long Beach in April and at Virginia International Raceway in September.
On the other side of the ESM paddock, Ed Brown, Guy Cosmo and Anthony Lazzaro co-drivers of the #02 Ultimat Vodka/Action Against Hunger Ferrari 458 Italia. Cosmo initially qualified the #02 machine on the pole, but was forced to the back of the field at the start of the race after ALMS officials deemed to the #02 too low in ride height (by millimeters), thus failing post qualifying technical inspection. The low ride height was a result of a broken splitter that occurred during Friday's qualifying session.
Cosmo wheeled the Ferrari and charged through and was running fourth before handing the Ferrari over to Brown. Unfortunately, time was lost in a driver change due to a problem with seatbelt adjustment, as well as an on-track penalty for Cosmo for "avoidable contact" with another competitor. Due to the time lost, the #02 finished the race in ninth place in the GT class.
A two hour recap of the 15th Annual Petit Le Mans, the final race of the 2012 American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón season, will air today, Sunday, October 21, at 1 p.m., on ABC.

Christen Croley, The Sentinel, Carlisle, Pa.
One area physician says that only a combination of medication and therapy can offset the adverse effects of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adulthood and can potentially stave off the onset of other psychiatric disorders, too.A study in the April edition of the journal American Academy of Pediatrics says 29 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD in the study still had the condition at age 27 and 57 percent of those participants develop at least one other psychiatric disorder. "It's something that's with you throughout your life," said Jose Delerme, Ph.D,, clinical director for PinnacleHealth Psychological Associates. "This isn't something you're just going to get as an adult unless you've had a head injury." Researchers from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., followed 367 children born between 1976 and 1982 who were diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 5 -- 232 of whom participated in the follow up 22 years later. Although there is no cure for ADHD, 71 percent of the participants said they no longer showed any signs of the disorder. Delerme said some ADHD symptoms decrease as patients age because there is no longer the pressure of a classroom environment. "Some of those symptoms may not apply to you anymore," he said. "But that doesn't mean it's cured." "This study shows that the adverse effects of ADHD are persistent and long-term in a substantial proportion of those with a childhood diagnosis," said Tanya Froehlich, a developmental-behavioral pediatrician at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, in a Mar.4 interview with USA Today. "The disorder and its associated conditions have serious public health consequences." Lead investigator on the study, William Barbaresi, a developmental medicine specialist at Boston Children's Hospital, told USA Today that ADHD should be treated as any other chronic illness. "When a child is diagnosed, we immediately institute strategies aimed at keeping the child engaged in appropriate treatment for the long haul," he told the newspaper. Delerme said although medication is the first line of defense for ADHD patients, adding in therapy helps people manage the disorder. "There is a lot of co-morbidity that goes with ADHD," Delerme said. "Usually related to depression, substance abuse disorders, anti-social personality disorder. Anxiety disorder is a big one." The study ranked the top psychiatric disorders among its participants, with alcohol dependence being the most prevalent at 26 percent. Anti-social personality disorder came in second at 17 percent of the group, while non-alcoholic substance abuse, hypomanic episodes, anxiety disorder and major depression rounded out the list at 16, 15, 14 and 13 percent respectively. "The risk for persistent ADHD is considerable, and the risk for at least one mental health condition, including ADHD, is extraordinarily high," Barbaresi told USA Today. "Only 37.5 percent of the children we contacted as adults were free of these really worrisome outcomes." Therapy, Delerme said, provides coaching for how to deal with jobs, relationships, bills, parenting and other responsibilities that ADHD compromises on a daily basis. "Some people just do the medication," he said. "That may work briefly, but therapy and medication provides a lot more success." Delerme said patients who don't recognize ADHD symptoms until adulthood often go undiagnosed as children because many primary-care physicians lack the training necessary to properly evaluate the disorder. "A lot of it comes through parents who had children with ADHD," he said. "Because family history is important, a lot of times I'll end up evaluating parents as a result." The National Resource Center on ADHD says the neuro-developmental disorder affects 5 million children ages 3 to 17 and 2 to 4 percent of adults. (c)2013 The Sentinel (Carlisle, Pa.)

Elected women sworn in for first time in Kuwaiti parliamentary historyMay 31, 2009
Public Service Announcement: "My Voice, My Choice" | watch larger version
The elections of 16 May 2009 were held on the fourth anniversary of the parliamentary vote which gave women the right to vote and to run for elections for the first time. In a cultural and social environment inimical to women's acquisition and free exercise of their political rights, according to UNDPs Arab Human Development Report from 2005, it takes more than legal edicts to make gender equality in political participation a reality. Women constitute over 54% of eligible voters in Kuwait, yet they accounted for only 35% of those who voted in 2006 - the first elections that women could participate in. A recent study has also shown that in the 2008 elections only 3% of women voters cast their votes for women candidates.
Social attitudes and actions seem to have come a long way since then. None of the 54 women who stood for election in 2006 and 2008 made it. This time around 4 won out of the 16 women candidates who ran and in two out of five electoral constituencies, women candidates came on top of the polls.
"Since the landmark decision in May 2005 granting women the right to full political participation, UNDP Kuwait has been actively working to support efforts to maximize the chances of Kuwaiti women to exercise those newly acquired rights," comments Mohamed Naciri, acting UNDP-Kuwait Resident Representative. "Throughout the past three years; and in collaboration with government, UNDP and UNIFEM have teamed up with civil society organizations and women activist groups to train women on voting procedures, and to change attitudes towards women's political activity as a legal right that is in line with Islamic jurisprudence."
Massive media and awareness campaigns though television, posters and billboards accompanied the 2006 elections to encourage women in Kuwait to use their civic rights and responsibility to vote and to do so independently from tribal and family influences. In addition to the awareness campaigns, groups of women have been trained to strengthen their political capacity and to prepare them to act as agents of political change. An expanded women's political participation project, initiated by UNDP in 2008, conduct a post-election evaluation of impediments facing women candidates. This evaluation was carried out by Dr. Salwa Al-Jassar, one of the four newly elected female parliamentarians, sworn in today.
"In many countries it has taken around 50 years for women to successfully get elected to parliament after they had gained the right to vote. It has taken us 70 women candidates in three rounds of elections over 4 years to gain 8% of the seats of the parliament," asserts Dr. Al-Jassar. "In due course, significant change has come. We did not need affirmative action or an electoral quota for women. We did it with persistence and systematic voter education and awareness. This is a very promising achievement, I believe -- not only for Kuwaiti women but for all women in the Gulf and the entire Arab world."Contact Information

Gear round-up: Abus, Ashima, Prologo and Zefal
Latest helmets, locks, brake bits, saddles, mudguards, tyres and more
We headed to UK distributors Zyro's Open House show in Harrogate, Yorkshire last week. As well as seeing the latest wares from Cateye, Panaracer, Tifosi and Altura, we also saw new kit from Abus, Ashima, Prologo and Zefal. Here's a quick round-up.
German company Abus are best known for their locks but also have an extensive range of road, mountain and commuter helmets. The Hill Bill is a new all-mountain/trail lid along the lines of Giro's Xen or Fox's Flux (it even has a similar plastic 'spoiler' to the latter), with extra rear coverage.
Features include in-mould construction, Abus's ZoomPro II fit system and 19 air vents. Available in four colours (black, Engine – pictured here – Stream or white), the Hill Bill costs weighs a claimed 300/325g (M/L) and costs £89.99.
Abus's top-end road lid, the £79.99 Tec-Tical, is unchanged for 2011, while the Urban Icommuter helmet (£54.99) just has two new colour options – Reflective Red and Signal Yellow. One striking new arrival is the Metronaut, a lightweight in-mould lid hidden inside a removeable baseball cap style cover. RRP is £79.99.
The Abus Metronaut is aimed at commuters and urban warriors
On the lock side of things, Abus are releasing a UK-only Granit 53 – essentially a cheaper version of their highly rated Granit X-Plus 54, with a more basic key and a round 13mm shackle instead of a square one. It still has Sold Secure Gold status but costs £59.99 instead of £89.99, with the main downside being a bit of extra heft.
Mini U-locks have proved popular, so the company now offer both Sold Secure Gold (£69.99) and Silver (£49.99) rated U-Mini options, which are said to be significantly lighter than the competition. They're also releasing a lighter weight version of their Bordo folding lock, the Lite 6050 (£69.99), which weighs a claimed 650g.
Abus's tiny U-Mini has Sold Secure approval
Ashima have tweaked their innovative PanCake Brake to address some of the issues we encountered during testing. A change to sintered brake pads is said to have made a big difference, along with changes to the calliper and improved pad clearance – look out for a review on BikeRadar soon. New for 2011 is an adaptor that lets you use six-bolt disc rotors with Center Lock hubs, and aims to remove the play common with other such adaptors.
There are also new alloy rotor bolts that are said to deliver a 50 percent weight saving over steel at a fraction of the price of titanium. To address durability concerns, Ashima have beefed up the head and shoulder. Claimed weight is 4.8g for a pack of six. RRP is £9.99 and they're available in black, blue, red, gold and silver. Steel versions (12g) are available for £5.99.
Ashima were showing off this new D-Matrix rotor and Center Lock rotor adaptor
In the pipeline is a stunning-looking new D-Matrix rotor, which combines a steel braking surface with a lightweight alloy body, with carbon fibre reinforcement to enhance stiffness. Estimated price is around £70, with weight around 60g for a 140mm rotor. Ashima are also working on a prototype trials disc coated with automobile clutch liner that's designed to be used with rubber pads for ultimate stopping power.
We've already shown you Prologo's Nago Evo TTR time trial saddle, which is now available in a Team Sky colourway, and the new Nago Evo X10 mountain bike perch. Also new for 2011 is the Zero, a flat saddle aimed at both road and off-road riders. It's available with oval carbon rails for £139.99 in Zero Nack guise (165g), or with nickel-titanium alloy rails for £60 less as the Zero 1.4 (200g, or 228g with gel padding). All models have a carbon fibre injection base.
Zero is Prologo's new flat saddle. Riders who prefer a more rounded shape should look to the Scratch or Nago models instead
The company's women's seats look equally well thought out. The Dea ("goddess") design is available in Prologo's Scratch (round) and Nago (semi-round) shapes. It's based on the idea that women tend to have wider sit bones and sit further back on their saddles than men, so they need a seat that's shorter and wider, with a bigger 'pressure management zone' in the centre.
The Nago Evo Dea and Scratch Pro Dea both have 'Active Shape' padding – a variable stiffness base with triple density padding on top – and titanium rails, and cost £109.99. The Nago weighs 212g and the Scrach 227g. This year Prologo will be offering a 'Try & Buy' scheme so you can borrow a saddle from your local dealer and try it out for yourself.
Prologo's Dea women's saddles have been specifically designed with the female form in mind
Zefal were showing off a new mudguard, the No Mud, which can be used on the front or rear of your mountain bike/hybrid. Designed to fit 26-28in wheels, it attaches to the fork legs or seatstays and has a flexible extension which can be clipped to the front/back. RRP is £14.99 (for one). Claimed weight is 190g.
The French company also had new carbon fibre and fibreglass bottle cages, brush sets, tyre sealant and an array of their latest pumps on display – see the image gallery for more on these products.
Zefal's No Mud 'guard looks like a step up from their previous mountain bike offerings
As well as producing tyres bearing their own logo, Panaracer also make rubber for other companies, including Soma Fabrications of San Francisco. Aimed at the fixie/hipster crowd, these colourful treads are a whopping 5mm thick. "It's all about having a tyre you can skid with and get through an urban environment without any flats or other issues," says Panaracer's Jeff Zell. The Soma Everwear is available in 700x23c and 26c sizes, for £39.99.
Another collaboration is the IRD CrossFire CX cyclo-cross tyre, which uses the same tread as Panaracer's Fire XC Pro mountain bike tyre, mated to a lighter weight casing. Available for 700x32c wheels only, there's a choice of 120tpi (£39.99) or 60tpi (£36.99) rubber, with the former coming in black/white and the latter in a choice of one or the other.
The Soma Everwear is both colourful and, as the name suggests, durable – but we're guessing it isn't the lightest
IRD have licensed Panaracer's Fire XC Pro mountain bike tread for their CrossFire CX 'cross tyres
All of the products in this article can be bought through Zyro dealers in the UK. For international sales, see the Related Links on the right.

This sturdy creation of polished steel and leather is adorned with the face of some sort of hideous demon wrought in gleaming gold. Lined with soft fur, it is remarkably comfortable and elegant, in a rakish style. Many are those who would pay richly for such an item, if it weren't for the curse…
The Origin of the Accursed Codde-Piece
Anyone who ever met the Dwarf renegade known as Red Hatchet had to admit that he was an evil-tempered bastard. A vicious berserker without any redeeming virtues, he was a murderous beast.
The only person that Red Hatchet ever really cared about was his mother, Cradaminta, a demanding Dwarf matron known as "The Battleaxe" for several reasons. She raised Red Hatchet alone, a rarity among the conservative dwarves. Brought up by his formidable mother, Red Hatchet learned to be equally formidable; she taught him to channel insane rage into berserk fury. Before he left home, she gave him a gift, an enchanted codpiece adorned with her portrait. (Those two had more issues than I care to discuss.) The codpiece was enchanted so that it could never come loose without its owner willing it to, and while worn, it made its wearer highly resistant to injury in that area, serving as virtually perfect armor for the groin.
Later, Red Hatchet was briefly married. His wife soon realized that she could never compare to the highly unusual expectations that Red Hatchet's mother had set and threw him out of the old salt mine that they called their home. A vengeful soul, she brought his favorite codpiece, the one with his mother's portrait, to an elderly dwarf witch, a wicked soul who enchanted it further, twisting its magic to an entirely different end. Never the brightest of dwarves, Red Hatchet never did understand what had happened to his favorite codpiece.
Some months later, Red Hatchet heard of a bandit gang that intrigued him, a wicked band led by a cold-hearted villain called Jervoe. He attempted to scout their camp, but while he was hiding in the bushes watching them, his codpiece unfortunately fell off and glanced off a rock with an audible 'clang'. As the bandits drew their weapons and approached the suspicious shrub, Red Hatchet knew that his stealthy approach was blown. He leapt forth from the bushes and into bandit history. The rogues were amazed by his audacity: Never before had they met a dwarf with the chutzpah to challenge them while his pride was waving in the breeze. Instead of skewering him as they'd originally planned, they escorted him to see Jervoe, who was so impressed by the dwarf's bold approach that he hired Red Hatchet on the spot.
The Curse of the Codde
This codpiece was once enchanted so that it couldn't accidentally come loose and the wielder's groin was well protected. Its enchantment has now been altered so that it can't be removed if the wearer urgently wants it off. To make matters worse, it now tends to come loose and fall off if the owner strongly doesn't want it to come off, such as during formal occasions and in battle. Finally, Red Hatchet had suffered from a persistent fungus; the magical tampering with the codpiece has affected this disease, rendering it resistant to any known treatment as long as the codpiece is in the victim's possession. Despite the effects of the curse, which may cause some unpleasant incidents, the codpiece itself always remains clean and exudes a pleasant musky scent.

PlumProjects needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 57 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Plum Projects
Plum Projects is a family operated business specialising in custom built new homes, alterations and additions in the Sydney (Australia) metropolitan area. We are by choice a hands on operation limiting the number of projects running concurrently so that we are able to offer a personalised service, attention to detail and deliver a project on time and on budget. We are versatile, multi-skilled and welcome a challenge. We regularly work with architects and designers and can offer a concept to completion service.
Because we specialise in complex, architecturally designed builds we generally try to target the mid to upper end of the market. In our marketing we target both the end client i.e. the home builder or renovator (normally through print advertising) as well as architects and designers.
The bulk of our work comes to us through referrals from architects, designers and project managers, so in practice these groups are the focus of our direct marketing effort.
We want a new logo that reflects our new marketing strategy. We have outgrown our old logo which now looks a bit simplistic, perhaps even a little cheesy - see here http://www.actualityfoundation.org/…jects.html
Our company name is a play on words - 'plum' as in the fruit and 'plumb' as in aligned or straight.
Our current logo tries to combine the fruit and the 'plumb bob' - a builders tool, used for determining alignment. See here http://www.actualityfoundation.org/…jects.html. We like this theme and would encourage designers to try and incorporate this, however we are also open to other suggestions that may not continue this theme.
We need a logo that can be used:
- On a website
- On business cards
- On our site paperwork
- On site uniforms (embroidered or printed)
- On our company vehicles
The logo should:
- Look like a building company logo without being cheesy
- Inspire trust and confidence i.e. by looking professional
- Look good in both full colour and black and white
We would really appreciate your help with this !!!

Rembrandt, the world's most popular soft pastels,have an unsurpassed purity and intensity. Rembrandt Pastels are made from the best quality, finely ground, pure pigments in an extra-fine kaolin clay binder. They contain no hard bits or sharp edges.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.

Benzimidazolone Carmine is a staining, dull red transparent pigment with high tinting strength. Its color is similar to, although somewhat darker than, Rose Madder, the natural source of the historic color Alizarin Crimson. Because it stains and tints much more strongly than natural Rose Madder, care is required to achieve the same effects.
Although it is not absolutely lightfast, Benzimidazolone Carmine has excellent lightfastness for a transparent red organic pigment, and as a result, it is often chosen as a more permanent pigment to replace Alizarin Crimson.
Benzimidazolone Carmine is not considered toxic.
The benzimidazolone group of pigments was developed and patented in 1960 by Hoechst A.G., a German chemical manufacturer that was a forerunner of the pharmaceutical company Aventis. They differ very widely in hue.
Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Fast Carmine

Pyrrole Red is opaque and has strong covering power. According to manufacturer Ciba, which uses the trade name Irgazin Red, it is a "clean, highly saturated mid shade red with high temperature resistance, excellent color strength, outstanding chemical, solvent and bleed resistance, and good weatherfastness."
Pyrrole Red is considered to have excellent lightfastness among organic pigments in its class. Tests in industrial applications have given it scores of 7-8 on the Blue Wool Scale.
According to the Australian government's Ministry on Health and Aging, "The notified chemical exhibited low oral and dermal toxicity in rats, did not exhibit toxic effects when administered orally to rats for 28 days, was not a skin irritant in rabbits, was not a skin sensitiser in guinea pigs, was not mutagenic in bacteria and was not clastogenic in CHO cells in culture. However, the notified chemical was a slight eye irritant in rabbits. On the basis of submitted data, the notified chemical would not be classsified as hazardous in accordance with Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances."
Pyrrole Red, used as an automotive paint and as a colorant in plastics, was developed as one of a range of pigments to replace lead based pigments. In art materials, it is often used as a synthetic and lightfast replacement for carmine, a laked pigment that was originally produced from the body of the cochineal insect. It is also used to replace the older naphthol reds, organic red pigments that are sometimes only marginally lightfast and weatherfast.

Vegetarians would like to see a world where no one eats meat. At least some feminists would like to see a world where men and women are essentially the same except for outward appearance. Conservatives think liberalism is wrong and vice versa.
Many people would like to stamp out capital punishment worldwide. Some people feel that everyone should be nice and politically correct at all times and never be angry or rude. Some people say that no one every should tell a lie; others think lying can be good sometimes. Some people think everyone should be (fill in the religion); on the other side are atheists like us.
Now, imagine a homogenized world. Everyone under the same laws. Believing the same things. Everyone having exactly the same rights and responsibilities. The same limitations and the same opportunities. And everyone's happy with it, including you.
Standing back from this world, would this be a good world or would there be something fundamentally flawed or wrong or dysfunctional with it?

Hey, you got three hours, grit your teeth and tough it out --
Sounds like Gene Roddenberry's universe of Star Trek, where money has been replaced by self realization as the motive to excel.
Actually Tony, Maslow says that self actualization is our highest goal - I assume that that and "self realization" are not that far apart.
If someone isn't actualized, are they virtualized? fictionalized?
Or possibly simply "Unseen" --
Couldn't wait just one more hour, could you? The word, "addiction" leaps to mind.
Addiction indeed... and here you are replying to him... :P
Don't they call that codependency?
But you've illustrated my point - the absence of Unseen from this board would seem to be utopia, whereas it's the actual effort I put into running him off, that brings me the most pleasure, pleasure that would be missing if he were to actually leave, much like Wile E. Coyote, chasing the RoadRunner - if he ever caught him, what would he then do with his time?

The unusually hot and dry weather we have experienced this winter is causing consternation in some quarters. What if there should suddenly be a deluge of rain or a cold snap? Would this radical weather change cause damage to plants that have bloomed or begun spring growth prematurely due to the unseasonably balmy weather we have experienced to date?
Here, it will be useful to mention criteria for flowering. There are a number of factors that determine when a plant will bloom. It is important to know what these factors are in order to understand whether your plant's flowers, or lack of them, are the result of warm winter weather, drought or some other factor.
Many plant species flower in response to day length. Thus, you have long-day plants that flower in spring and summer, short-day plants that bloom in fall and winter, and day-neutral plants that may bloom in any season.
Long-day and short-day bloomers will not be much affected by weather conditions, but flower mainly in response to the number of daylight hours. An interesting application of this principle is brought to bear in the case of florists' chrysanthemums, which are naturally short-day plants yet may be found in full bloom at your local supermarket throughout the year.
Greenhouses with blackout systems manipulate the number of sunlight hours available so that the chrysanthemums think it's fall when it's actually spring or summer.
When it comes to deciduous fruit trees — apples, peaches and apricots, for example — a warm winter will lead to irregular and diminished flowering and fruit production. The reason for this is that deciduous fruit trees (and deciduous ornamentals, too, such as lilacs) depend upon winter cold to synthesize metabolites required for flowering. Each apple variety, for example, has its own winter cold or chilling requirement, quantified as the number of annual winter hours when the temperature is colder than 45 degrees. When this number of winter chilling hours is reached, once temperatures have begun to warm again, flowering will begin.
You cannot grow 'Gala,' 'Fuji' or 'Winesap' apples in the San Fernando Valley because the winter is just too warm. Instead, low-chill varieties such as 'Anna,' 'Beverly Hills' and 'Dorsett Golden' are cultivated here.
Deciduous fruit trees, lilacs and roses, when they are pruned early in the winter, can be adversely affected by a sudden spell of warm weather. The reason for this is that pruning is an invigorating process. Terminal shoot buds produce hormone that is continuously sent down the shoot, inhibiting growth of lateral buds below. When these terminal buds are snipped off, growth of lateral buds is no longer inhibited and side shoots begin to sprout.
During winter, this process is put on hold by cold temperatures. However, if winter pruning is following by a sudden heat wave, lateral buds will open. This new growth is tender, however, and may die if temperatures turn cold again. For this reason, it is wisest to prune fruit trees in Los Angeles after Feb. 15 of each year, since it is unlikely that there will be frost, when temperatures dip to 32 degrees, after this date.
Rain and cold in late winter or, for that matter, early spring, can be damaging to fruit tree crops and tender annuals. One year, my plum tree was covered with blossoms when there was a sudden storm of spring rain. The rain knocked some blossoms off the tree and caused others to develop a fungus so that I had little fruit that year.
Damp pollen also will discourage visits from bees whose pollinating activity is essential to fruit development.
Where annuals are concerned, impatiens and begonias should probably not be planted for another month since they are sensitive to cold and rain. At this time of year, it is not unusual to see freshly planted impatiens and begonias turn to mush after a single heavy rain. Established impatiens and begonias, on the other hand, that were planted at the end of last summer, will make it through February rain and cold, short of a freeze, just fine.
Speaking of cold weather, it is not just the temperature but the duration of it that adversely affects flowers and fruit. Most types of citrus, for example, can withstand an hour of two of frost. However, should the temperature stay at 28 degrees or colder for four hours or more, significant damage may result. If a frost is predicted, it is a good idea to turn on irrigation since, as water on plant surfaces turns to ice, heat is released and plants are spared.
Finally, acclimation of newly planted specimens is another factor that can curtail flowering. When you bring home from the nursery a perennial that is covered with flowers, it often happens that those flowers quickly disappear with none to take their place. You may not see any more flowers this year or the next, or the year after that. This often happens with fruit trees, but it may happen with flowering ornamentals, too.
Say you purchase an avocado or an orange tree with several fruit on it, plant it in your yard, and don't see another fruit for several years. The reason for the delay is that the tree is adjusting to your particular microclimate, which includes such factors as soil type, light exposure, fertilization and watering regime. In their growing grounds, before they reach the retail nursery or home improvement center, plants enjoy a steady feed of water and minerals. A "fertigation" apparatus may be employed so that a small dose of liquid fertilizer is injected into the irrigation system each time watering takes place.
In addition, foliar fertilization with micronutrients could have been practiced, another technique for producing lush, retail ready perennials and fruit trees. Unless you continue these practices after your plants are brought home, you are likely to see a decrease in flowering and lush growth.

BALTIMORE, Md. - UC Santa Barbara's Michael Tetteh was selected in the Second Round and No. 20 overall by the Seattle Sounders in the Major League Soccer SuperDraft on Thursday. Tetteh became the 12th UCSB player to be selected in the MLS SuperDraft.
"My dream from high school has been to one day play in the MLS," Tetteh said. "Obviously I have worked very, very hard. I have had so many people that have affected my life and helped me throughout the years and this is just the perfect dream coming true for me. I couldn't be happier to be a part of the Seattle club."
Tetteh, a junior midfielder at UCSB, signed a Generation Adidas contract earlier this month. He has played in 59 matches during his three seasons with the Gauchos, starting 50. In 2009, he was a Second Team All-Big West selection and Second Team Far West All-Region pick.
Though he was hampered by injury during the 2010 season, Tetteh still managed to tally a career-best three goals this past fall. For his career, he posted six goals, eight assists and 20 points.
"My goal is to go and work hard and be on the starting squad," Tetteh said. "Obviously, they have great players at Seattle. What I want to do is learn from the other guys and get on the field."
Tetteh becomes the 19th UCSB player to be drafted in the past nine years. UCSB currently has five former players active in the MLS: Chris Pontius (D.C. United), Andy Iro (Columbus Crew), Eric Avila (FC Dallas), Kyle Reynish (Real Salt Lake) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA).
Tetteh was the first Big West player to be drafted this year and was the first pick by the Sounders, who traded their No. 11 overall selection and international spot (one season) to Portland for the No. 20 selection and an allocation amount.

INDIAN LAND – The name of Indian Land's first brick-oven pizza restaurant means "friends" in Italian, which is fitting since its owners are childhood pals.
Rob Ross and Jimmy Warner opened Amici Italian Lovin' Oven in September to offer the area something unique.
The restaurant is located next to Carolina Bistro, which is also run by the pair. The restaurants share kitchen space and staff to reduce overhead costs.
"It's a friendly, fun, family place," said Gloria Ross, Rob's wife and daytime manager.

SAN ANTONIO — This is what greatness looks like.
Its eyes are cold and deadly. Its arms are long and larcenous. It hangs above the floor like a cloud and it bangs under the basket like a pile driver.
It has a prickly disposition, an inexorable heart. It scores in smothering waves, sudden shuddering tsunamis.
Greatness looks like LeBron James rumbling down the court with the speed and destructive power of a runaway tractor-trailer to score on one possession and pulling up to stab in a 3-pointer on another.
Greatness is the beauty of Dwyane Wade striking like a cobra on the defensive end and then spinning, whirling and making the ball seem to be a yo-yo on the end of a string as he shows off an assortment of his offensive tricks.
Greatness is the mercurial Chris Bosh rebounding with a purpose, snarling and guarding the rim like a Doberman.
On any night when Miami's Big Three remember who they were supposed to be, the game and opposition are almost secondary to the performance. The only thing lacking is a soundtrack.
This was the Heat the way they were bought and assembled nearly three years ago, cocky, confident and, OK, a little bit irritated, playing with a combination of swagger and defensiveness. Between them they piled up 85 points, 30 rebounds, 10 steals and five blocked shots.
Here is Miami in The Finals for the third straight season and yet the Heat were being asked to show their credentials because they were having trouble putting together back-to-back victories lately in these playoffs.
After failing to score 20 points in any of the first three games of the series, James alone was back to being poked, prodded and suspected of having enough emotional loose change to feed every vending machine in the Institute of Pop Psychology.
Bosh was again the guy whose mood and production seemed to glide on the breeze like dandelion spores.
But if anyone needed to bounce back to reclaim his reputation as something more than 31-year-old with a bum knee on the down side of his career, it was Wade.
This then was his flashback to 2006 when he was unflappable and unstoppable and was so often a virtual one-man show in carrying Miami to its first NBA championship long before all of this Big Three hoopla was even imagined.
It was, in short: Flash, back.
There were all of the leaps, defensive plays, bottling up would-be Spurs drivers to the hoop, stepping into the passing lanes, flicking at loose balls and coming up with a half dozen steals that sent James and himself and the Heat transition game into overdrive.
This was the maestro who used to hold the baton and lead the orchestra before James brought his talents to South Beach and made him move over a chair to second fiddle.
"Yeah, I needed a game like this, but my teammates needed a game like this from me," Wade said. "Needed me to be aggressive. Needed me to play the way I'm capable of.
"Most important, they needed the Big Three to play the way we're capable of. They depend on us a lot. We love our teammates and we can't win without them. (But) we're not going to win this series if myself, Chris and LeBron don't show up to play on a consistent basis."
It was a game that saw Wade's eyes practically grow as big as saucers when he saw himself being guarded by 6-foot-11 Tiago Splitter.
"I was glad I had the ball in my hand," he said.
For the first time in the series, all of the Big Three actually looked happy to be there.
With his 33 points, James avoided being held under 20 points four consecutive times in the playoffs for the first time in his career.
For Wade, his line — 32 points, six assists, four rebounds and six steals — showed quite simply that he's still got it. It was the most he's scored since March 4 at Minnesota. And after scoring just a combined eight second-half points in the first three games of The Finals, he put the Spurs away with 18 after halftime for the 109-93 win.
This was the vintage Wade, soaring above the shoulders of the taller Tim Duncan and Splitter to grab offensive rebounds to give the Heat another chance. He made mid-range jumpers look as easy as slipping the key into your front door. He devoured the basket on fast breaks. And it was that defensive fire and intensity disrupting things from start to finish that told you he meant business. After all, at 2-2, everything the Heat have been playing for is still right there. At 3-1, it would have been sliding over the edge.
It might as well have been a page out of an old scrapbook for the way Wade went out hitting 14 of 25 shots and oozing confidence.
"The 25 shots let me know that he was aggressive, every shot that he took," James said. "He wasn't passive. He came off, they went under (picks), he shot his jumper. In transition he attacked the rim. He continued to attack throughout the game.
"No matter how great you are, no matter what your resume is, to have a game like this, it lets you know that you're still one bad — you know the next two words. I can't say, my kids might be watching. That dude was amazing. Like I said, he was '06 Flash tonight."
A reminder of what greatness looks like.

STROUDSBURG — Jen Lobasso's 200th-victory celebration as Stroudsburg's field hockey coach ended in a misty rain with balloons, hugs and a bouquet of flowers Tuesday night.
STROUDSBURG — Jen Lobasso's 200th-victory celebration as Stroudsburg's field hockey coach ended in a misty rain with balloons, hugs and a bouquet of flowers Tuesday night.
Her coaching career started much differently 14 years ago.
In the fall of 1999, Lobasso got her first chance to coach the sport she loved. She had a vision, a vision that took an 0-20 team — yes, 0-20 — and turned the program into champions. She did it in 2008 and again in 2011.
On Tuesday night, Rebecca Adelmann's goal with two seconds left gave the Mounties a 1-0 victory over East Stroudsburg South and kept Stroudsburg (16-1, 11-0 MVC) undefeated in conference play.
It's safe to say that Lobasso has successfully turned Stroudsburg's field hockey program into the team to beat in 2012.
"It's where you want to be," Lobasso said. "People like the expression of the underdog, but you really don't want to be the underdog. You want to be the team that's consistent and plays well all season."
For the better part of the last four years, Stroudsburg has played well, and this year Lobasso will send her sixth straight player to a Division I college (Alyssa Jones, Old Dominion). That's just a by-product of Lobasso's teachings, work ethic and overall influence.
The success took time at Stroudsburg. Lobasso's first three seasons were 2-18, 5-15 and then in the third year the Mounties hit a milestone — 10-10 to reach the district playoffs.
"I think kids are very receptive to the attitude of their coach," Lobasso said. "They will resemble and mimic the coach's attitude. So, if you come in and you're dedicated and you have a strong personality and demand discipline, they're going to respond.
"Kids are very resilient and that's exactly what happened. We went from a winless program to a program that qualified for districts in three years. And we got better every year."
Lobasso said she felt the program turned the corner in 2001 when the team qualified for districts. Her plan was working.
Lobasso's work in the summer, the middle school program and camps all began to pay dividends. The players got better, and kids who would normally play other sports, joined the team.
And then came Stroudsburg's defining moment — maybe none bigger since the program won a state championship in 1980 — when the Mounties beat Lehighton 1-0 in the 2008 Mountain Valley Conference title game.
"We had been close but that was the first year we won it to a team that was extremely strong," Lobasso said. "Lehighton at that point was really good. Yeah, that was definitely a hurdle we wanted to get over."
Now Stroudsburg is the team to beat. So far, only Northampton has this season. The Mounties continue to produce good players, special players like Simonovich, Emi Rosario, Liz Leh, Kim Henry and so many others who have passed the torch to the next class of players.
Two hundred victories into her career, Lobasso isn't interested in balloons and flowers for her accomplishment; she's more into winning a third conference title under her tutelage.
"I really believe that it takes a village to run this field hockey program," Lobasso said. "It starts in third grade. We've got parents' support, we fundraise, you can't do half the stuff we do without a big booster club and we have a huge booster club.
"It's the village effort, I really believe it. It's not just one person."
It may not be one person, but Stroudsburg clearly has the right person leading its field hockey program.

Yup, the Dallas Cowboys. Sorry Jerry.
It surprises us too, as to many they are considered America's team.
But in a poll conducted Public Policy Polling, the Cowboys came in first in one category: America's Least Favorite NFL Team. Twenty-two percent of people said the Cowboys were their least favorite.
As for America's favorite team, 22% of respondents picked the Packers, who happen to be having a spectacular year.

Kudos for successful Skate the Lake
As a resident of the Upper Bear Creek area, I would like to congratulate Jackie Mohr, Drive Smart, EPRD and the Jeffco Sheriff's Office on having an outstandingly successful event at the Lake House on New Year's Eve. We have been concerned about the dangers of illegal parking on Upper Bear at the larger events that have been held at the lake this past year.
New school board is actually more open than the old one
In response to Greg Romberg's column of Dec. 25: Maybe Mr. Romberg should investigate the actual facts.
First, the board has had its own attorney. In the past, the hiring of said attorney was done behind closed doors with no public notice. We should be applauding the new board majority for hiring an attorney in public and increasing transparency.
Kind gesture jump-starts giving
A review of some traffic rules
These are some issues facing area drivers. We have a good number of merge lanes at stop signs and traffic lights. Many people don't yield when merging onto the road, causing traffic to slow or even stop. It might be a good idea to review some of these rules for many longtime and new drivers.
It's time for the penny to buy the farm
If it costs 3 cents to mint a penny, why not do away with the penny?
I mean, after all, does it make sense? Or cents?
Of course, you realize this would mean our costs would go up. For instance, instead of something costing $1.03, now it would cost $1.05. But hey, just think of the possibilities. It could help pay for health care or even help reduce our national debt.

Keep off-leash dogs away from others
As a frequent user of open space around Evergreen (both Jeffco and Denver parcels), I see a lot of folks with their dogs off leash. Others can debate the propriety, but all I ask is that these off-leash dogs don't bother other people and/or their dogs.
A word of thanks to veterans
The average citizen today, myself included, does not comprehend what our country's veterans have endured. I feel the importance to help the public become more mindful of these incredible people.
Organizers of Empty Bowls say thanks
A sincere thank-you to the hundreds of sponsors, volunteers and participants in the 2013 Mountain Resource Center Empty Bowls fund-raiser. Once again, the event was a resounding success and will help us accomplish our goal of neighbors helping neighbors.

I wish 'Super' was a big enough word for my mom because I've been searching for the right word. My mom exceeds all things that one would expect from the roll of motherhood. She is the strongest woman I know. Life has been hard on her since she was small but she has taken all those hardships and turned them around to make her better and stronger. I struggled most of my life with self-acceptance which led to a severe eating disorder. I turned away from my family, especially my mom. But she never once gave on me. My mom fought for me when I had no more fight left. She prayed, she cried, and prayed some more. She was right there when I finally broke down and realized how much I not only needed her but wanted her. To this day she is a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen (even when I call her at 3 in the morning). Several times she has left work or dropped whatever she was doing to rush over when I needed to talk to or cry to or just want to see her. My mom sacrifices every day for her family. I am the middle child of 3 and we are all grown up and moved out by now but that hasn't stopped her from being Mom. She will work over overtime for no pay and no sleep so that she can catch up enough to fly to Ohio and help my sister with her new baby and 2 small girls. She basically stayed awake for a week so that my sister could finally sleep. My momma's heart is so, so big... especially when it comes to her family but also when it comes to anyone! She has amazing gifts in design and decorating, cooking and baking, home repair and refinishing and has a desire to share these gifts for others for no pay.. she just wants them to be happy. She sincerely cares for people. My mom is also an amazing wife and loves my dad so much. She is a shining example to us kids what it means to be a mother, a wife, a grandma and a lover of people and life. She has an amazing personality and is always getting others to laugh and smile. She'll be crazy goofy if it means it'll make us feel better. Her smile fills a room. There is no way, without writing a book, to put all the ways she is special in this little box. I just love my mom so much and I don't know where I would be without her. She's never say so but she deserves this beautiful gift. She does so much for so little. I love you Mom!!

Nicole DewarSubmitted by Ashley Clements
My mother is not only a great person but is a fantastic person. She has overcome a lot of adversity in her lifetime as a mother. After having me twenty years ago she finished her bachelors degree and went on to start her masters degree, all the while being a single mother and working to full time jobs. Two years after she had me she had my little sister, Chloe, and we moved down south to be with my father. While living in the south my mother faced racism from both African Americans and Caucasians, for having a blended family; which wasn't as common back then as it is now. Yet even in that situation she stayed strong and instilled in my sister and i, a sense of pride in who we are and a great work ethic. My mother and my father did not stay together, they separated two years after moving down south. My mother did a great job raising my sister and I as a single parent, without hel p and support from my father or anyone else for that matter. When my sister had her baby at an early age my mother was there to help. She didn't judge my sister and never said my nephew was a mistake. She stood by my sisters side and helped my sister through her pregnancy and went to every baby class with her. Her grandson Theodore is the light in her life. My mom has always done social work, and now works and Prairie View Prevention and a drug and dependency councilor, her students look up to her and she cares a great deal about them and their success in life. Its very hard for their stories not to effect her at home. Just this year she had a surgery to remove two large tumors from her uterus, she was given two months for medical leave, yet only took two weeks so she could get back to work with her students. She always puts herself one hundred percent into what she does. These are but a few of the reasons my mom is a very deserving super mom.

Shawnya McGregorSubmitted by Caitlynn McGregor
Mom mom is SUPER! She is a first AND second grade teacher. She loves everyone's children. In a way her students are her children to.(Here is a fact teaching isn't easy for all you that think teachers are lucky for having summers off. And MOST of it is spent planning, cleaning their classroom, budgeting, and doing whatever they have to to make next year a success!) She has to teach probably the most messy, rotten kids ever! Not only that she tutors kids in elementary after school and in the summer. She still comes home and puts a happy face on for her three kids and cooks a delicious meal for her family. She would do anything to make sure we stay safe and happy. The whole year she will be driving us three back and forth to numerous practices, games, and camps.She will surprise my dad by doing the cow chores. My mother won't baby us - which is why I love her. I guess you c ould say she is raising us the old fashioned way. She won't spoil and serve our every need, but she'll make sure we get what we need and then some. She is teaching us to become respectful, kind, and considerate. And I love her for that. My mom can teach you anything you need to know to helping me tame a calf for 4-H. No other mom can compete. My mom my not be a super model or she may not be rich and famous. But my mom has brought me and my brother and sister in this world, and she deserves to be queen for a day. She would race across the world if it meant my siblings and I grow up happy. She would leap through fire for my dad. My mom may not be what you think is a good mother, but in my heart no other could compare. I think my mom deserves to be but first for once. If you think anyone else can compare, well I guess you must have had a different kind of loving mother as my mother.My mom deserves some time off from her family and win that prize package!
