Infinity Theatre Company continues its first full summer season with "Little Shop of Horrors," a 1982 dark musical comedy with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken. With this terrific production, Infinity fulfills its promise to bring New York professionals to the Annapolis theater scene.
The opening notes by the five-piece, onstage live rock band signaled the exciting start of this Broadway-caliber show at Children's Theatre in Annapolis. Every role is perfectly cast from top to bottom, beginning with those sassy Skid Row street urchins, Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon — played by Ariana Scoggins, Ardale Shepherd and Martina Sykes — who serve as a grooving Greek chorus.
This trio has plenty of attitude and makes several transitions throughout the show. They begin as ragamuffins on scooters and hula hoops delivering the upbeat prologue title song, and later deliver an Act 2 reprise as three Supremes-like, sequin-gowned divas, complete with green stiletto sandals and matching green bouffants.
The "Little Shop" story began life as a 1960 cult horror movie and became the long-running off-Broadway Ashman and Menken hit musical of 2,000 performances, which spawned a 1986 film starring Rick Moranis. The show is set in Mushnik's Skid Row Florist Shop, where down-on-their-luck floral workers Seymour and Audrey toil each day with little hope of greeting any customers.
When Mushnik decides to close his shop because business is slow, Audrey and amateur horticulturist Seymour persuade Mushnik to display a strange plant Seymour has raised. Customers immediately start arriving to see this strange plant, and Seymour becomes a celebrity. He eventually pays a steep price for fame that starts with his having to feed this ravenous plant that thrives only on blood. Soon the plant, named Audrey 2, requires more nourishment than can be sucked from Seymour's finger cuts. Meanwhile, the human Audrey suffers from such low self-esteem that she is content to continue in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend Orin, a sadistic dentist. When Seymour finally confesses his affection for her, Audrey and Seymour become happy but doomed lovers.
This strange story is set to a great score that includes "Da-Doo," "Somewhere That's Green," "Suddenly Seymour," "Skid Row," and "Dentist." Each song gets loving treatment, starting with "Skid Row" and "Da-Doo" flawlessly delivered in harmony and break-out solos by the Scoggins, Shepherd and Sykes trio.
As florist Mushnik, Ira Denmark delivers a performance worthy of multiple bouquets. A master of comic timing, Denmark moves seamlessly from expressing warm concern for Audrey to berating klutzy Seymour. Denmark knows his way around a song, as he proves when imploring Seymour to become his adoptee in "Seymour and Son," delivering Ashman's lines, "I want to be your dad, I want to see you climbing up my family tree. 'Scuse the physical expression, On my pride of sweet paternal mishegas I've held pent-up."
Topher Nuccio is brilliant as Seymour, a lovable nebbish, who might forget to call Mr. Shiva about filling his Shiva Funeral Home order but remembers to tend his rare and strange plants growing in the back room. Seymour has his own high ethical principles, and he is completely devoted to Audrey. Nuccio delivers a stirring "Suddenly Seymour" that ranks among the best performances I've heard anywhere this season.
As ditzy blonde Audrey, Stacie Bono is Nuccio's perfect match. Her longing to flee Skid Row is heartfelt in Bono's singing of Audrey's signature song "Somewhere That's Green," containing Ashman's lines, "A matchbox of our own; a fence of real chain link; A grill out on the patio; Disposal in the sink."
As Audrey's crazed boyfriend, Orin, Eric William Whitehead is hysterically funny, and he also has a chance to shine in several walk-on roles, including a pushy talent agent and a mink-coated dowager he delivers in falsetto.
Finally, the star of the show is voracious Audrey 2 — growing, groaning and singing "Feed Me" — as played by unseen baritone Lamont Whitaker, and puppeteer John Ettinger.
Infinity Theatre founders Anna and Alan Ostroff are enlivening the local performing arts community this summer season. This "Little Shop" production is so good that it honors the memory of Baltimore native Howard Ashman and the music he created during his too-brief life.
The show runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. through Aug. 7 at Children's Theatre on Bay Head Road in Annapolis. Tickets are $18 to $35. Information: infinitytheatre.com.

A contingent of Addy Indy staffers (not to mention a few of our friends from the Brandon Reporter) headed off for a hoppin' few days at the New England Press Association conference in Boston about a week ago — and boy oh boy, did we learn a lot. There was something for everyone, the talk of the town (or at least the talk of the conference hall) all revolved around how newspapers can better serve their readers online. So we bring you the Addy Indy blog, another way for you to connect to the newspaper and its readers online.
Now, I know most of you love reading the paper in print, and so do I. This isn't meant to replace your twice-a-week dose of all things Addison County, available on newsstands or at a mailbox near you.
Nor is it meant to replace the rest of our Web site, where you can read up on the community calendar, check the classifieds twice a week, and find our leading stories. What the blog does offer, though, is a place to check in for more frequent updates on news around the county and the state. We'll have tips on recreation and events around the county, and spotlights on local citizens. Look for some of these features in the weeks and months ahead:
But more important than what we have in mind is what you have in mind. So tell me: what do you want to see in this space in the weeks ahead? Feel free to comment, or send me a line at [email protected].

This means war!
This morning I skipped over to Whiskyfun.com for my daily Scottish to find a distinctly Nonjattaish Japanese character staring right back at me. To be more precise, the character for war! Ikusa!
Now, that is intriguing. Well, intriguing if you have become an incurable Japanese whisky dweeb anyway! Because that bottle is clearly a kakubin, Suntory's iconic turtle shell patterned blended whisky bottle:
The writing on the Ikusa label is in Japanese. The main Ikusa character could well be the same in Chinese, but the writing above it spelling out "Ikusa Whisky" is in hiragana, which is only used in Japanese. All of which sent me into a fit of dorky delight: a Taiwanese whisky called "War" which is apparently playing off the prestige of a famous Japanese brand which traces its history and iconic design back to the immediate pre-war period.
The bellicose name is, incidentally, not something any Japanese company would even think of calling its drink. Evidently, it is something some Taiwanese people, who were a colony of Japan's until 1945, find surprisingly congenial (maybe a bit like a British company selling "Blitz tea" or an Indian "Raj" gin or something?) Ignoring the war reference, there is a beautiful symmetry to all this. Japanese whisky makers were once inveterate and none too scrupulous copiers of other country's brands. What goes around, comes around, don't they say?
Anyway, I contacted Jeffrey Tan of the makers Universal Distiller Product Company. He explained: "We used to cooperate with OKINAWA small distilleries, so the tastes on based on Japanese like, so it show Japanese wards on label, as for the bottle, we tool it our own and based on KAKUBIN, but we adding a handle bar on it, so its totally different with the Suntory. Thanks. Is there anyone interesting in import it ? Feel free to let us know."

I found ikusa in a supermarket
near Taipei. It only costs 289
NT dollars(about 9 USD) here.

Does it taste good?

I have no idea. I didn't buy it.
- October 1, 2007 at 12:29 AM
I stumbled into this thread and found this 3-year old post quite interesting. However, I would like to share my thought on the naming of this Taiwanese whisky, as I myself is from Taiwan.
Personally, I do not think the label of the whisky "war" or "Ikusa" has anything related to Taiwan being a Japanese colony before. Many people here do not really bear any grudge against Japanese.
So what does it really mean? Personally I think its meaning is twofold: the whisky is strong and good. The first meaning is that it tastes strong, not some ordinary drinking. The second meaning is not that obvious on the surface. However, the word "war" pronounced in Mandarin, the official language in Taiwan, is a very similar to the word "good" in Taiwanese Hokkien, a dialect commonly used by Taiwanese people.
In a word, this label tries to appeal to Taiwanese people: this is the one for your taste. It probably has nothing to do with Taiwanese history, nor does it intend to challenge Japan.

Thanks for the more informed view, Frank.

From the taiwaneese missus: we love the japanese and the word war have different meanings depends on the context. Frank Peng is pretty much right on the money.

- also dancave said...
the pronouciation of "war" and "good" is very similar, its the slang for "mint!!" basically
- June 17, 2011 at 6:51 PM
Just bought this whisky in Carrefour in Taipei, first taste was hmmm....not much like Scotch and not much like my favorite Canadian Whisky, "Crown Royal".
Has kind of a sweetness to it, but it does grow on you as I've had it two days in a row and enjoy it much more the second day, it was very inexpensive only about 200nt, cheaper than a cheap bottle of wine....

Lifestyle Services Director Jackie Bates is excited about the new opportunities, events and projects her department is working on this year.
Q. I'm new to Sun City. How can I get involved?
First I would like to say, welcome home. Here in Sun City, you'll have to go out of your way to not get involved.
We've got 73 Chartered Clubs that run the gamut from cards and games to performing arts and woodworking. Whether you like to play bridge, garden, take pictures, play an instrument, paint, read, travel, sing karaoke, play Pickleball, tennis, softball or golf, or if you are a veteran or single, there are many opportunities to enjoy this wonderful lifestyle. Who knows? You might even begin a new hobby that you never dreamed of doing!
We also have Registered Groups, which bring together people from the same part of the country, those who volunteer for a common cause or those with similar life experiences or challenges. You can find out more about both Chartered Clubs and Registered Groups in SunSations magazine. Lifestyle Services helps support these clubs and groups by scheduling rooms and offering assistance.
Also, don't miss a New Resident Orientation. You'll meet Board members and staff, and will learn different ways to enjoy and participate in the Sun City lifestyle. The Orientations are held quarterly. There was one in January, so be sure to check SunSations or eNews Weekly for the date of the next one this spring.
Q. Who are the performers in the 2012 Star Entertainment series?
We have seven spectacular shows scheduled for this year. We are bringing back The Lettermen and Hotel California: A Salute to the Eagles, for encore performances. Magnolia Hall was packed the last time these groups were here. For residents who are fans of the Big Band sound, we have the Glenn Miller Orchestra coming to Pinckney Hall. With Little Anthony and the Imperials, The Harlem Gospel Choir and Paul Revere and the Raiders added to the lineup, this year is going to be very exciting. I know residents are going to really enjoy these shows.
Q. How can residents purchase tickets?
Tickets for The Lettermen and Glenn Miller Orchestra are on sale in Lifestyle Services. Tickets for the other shows take place a few months ahead of the performance. Check your Happenings calendar in SunSations or eNews Weekly to find out when tickets go on sale.
Because of the popularity of these shows, we had to change the way tickets are sold for the Star Entertainment Series. We had residents lining up in the wee hours of the morning to buy tickets. So, we developed a new system so that no one has to wait in the early morning darkness to get tickets. To purchase tickets to a Star Entertainment Series show, you simply need to arrive at Pinckney Hall by 8 a.m. Ticket sales usually take place in the Broad and Chechessee River Rooms. Lifestyle Services will hand out numbers to everyone present between 8 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. It does not matter what time you arrive or in what order you receive your number, as long as you arrive by 8 a.m.
At 8:15 a.m., the doors to the room will be closed. We will then draw one number out of all of the numbers that were handed out. The resident with that number will be the first person who purchases tickets to that show. After they purchase their tickets, sequential numbers will be called up in order to purchase tickets.
For example: If numbers 1 to 80 are given out, and No. 40 is drawn, the resident with No. 40 will purchase their tickets first. After they have purchased their tickets, the resident with the No. 41 will purchase their tickets. Then No. 42 will purchase their tickets, and so on and so forth, until reaching No. 80. After reaching No. 80, the resident with number 1 will purchase their tickets. Then No. 2 will purchase their tickets, so on and so forth, until reaching No. 39.
Anyone who arrives after 8:15 a.m. will have the option to put their name on a list outside the room. After all of the residents who have received numbers have purchased their tickets, Lifestyle Services will begin serving those who have their names on the list.
There is no need to arrive at Pinckney Hall before 8 a.m. Everyone present at 8 a.m. for the drawing has the same chance of being the first person to purchase tickets with this lottery system. This will ensure an equal playing field for everyone who is present at Pinckney Hall.
Please call Lifestyle Services (705-4027) for more information.
Q. What other activities are available?
Our team helps organize and host various events for our residents to enjoy. You can challenge your friends and neighbors to a friendly game of Wii bowling or trivia. If you missed a movie in theaters, you may be able to catch it at one of our Movie Nights or Matinee Movies. You'll still get the big-screen movie theater experience since you'll be watching it in our state-of-the-art theater, Magnolia Hall. We bring in talented musicians from all over the world to play in Sun City , and we host themed dances throughout the year (Don't miss our Valentine's Day Dance on Feb. 14). Once a month, you can laugh the night away while enjoying a cocktail at Cocktails & a Comedian, or get into a writer's head during Meet the Author events. You can also sign up for health and financial seminars in our office. Check the Happenings Calendar in your SunSations Magazine for a full list.
Q. I signed up for free help with my taxes last year. Will that service be available again this year?
Yes, AARP Tax Aide will be offering free income tax services to Sun City residents again this year, but the sign-up procedure will be slightly different. To make your reservation, sign up for a time slot in the AARP Reservation Binder in our office in Pinckney Hall. Call George Crook at 705-7373 for more information.
Q. What will Lifestyle Services focus on this year?
Some residents have lived here for 15 years, and may not be able to do some of the activities they could do when they first moved in. We'll be working with the Health & Wellness Department to review those needs, new technologies, changing interests and maturing physical capabilities and will plan for the future accordingly. Some programs may have to be changed, and new programs may have to be created. Finding more volunteer opportunities and reviewing Chartered Club rules are also on our list of things to do.
Stop by and visit us in Pinckney Hall if you have any questions. We always have hot coffee brewing!

Mobile phones cause bad behaviour in kids - report
Hyperactivity and emotional problems linked to phones
If the kids are misbehaving then don't blame their E number intake, because it could be your fault - or your missus' - for chatting too long on mobile phones during pregnancy.
That's the finding of a study into the behaviour of children up to age seven, born of 13,159 mums in Denmark in the late 1990s. A number academics were involved in the study, including Leeka Kheifets, a professor of Epidemiology from the University of California. Kheifets also serves on a committee that sets guidelines for exposure to mobile phones, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Women who talked on a handset between two and three times each day during pregnancy were found to be 54 per cent more likely to give birth to a child with hyperactivity and emotional problems.
The report also concluded that tots aged seven or below are still at risk from developing such behavioural problems if you let them regularly talk into a mobile phone.
But UK quango the Health Protection Agency (HPA) has expressed some doubt about the study's findings. A spokesman for the HPA told the Daily Mail that the results "need to be investigated thoroughly.
"There may be another cause for the observed effect," he said.
The researchers behind the study have admitted this time that there could be other possible reasons why your kids are acting up, including a theory that mothers who chat lots on a mobile after pregnancy spend less quality time with their kids.
The latest study adds to the bulging pile of reports into the effects of mobile phones on bodies and brains. Another recent report found that prolonged phone use could be more damaging to your health than smoking or asbestos.
But two separate studies have concluded that mobile phones don't increase your risk of developing brain cancer. Who do you believe?
The full results of Professor Kheifets' study will be published in medical journal Epidemiology in July.

Have you ever shopped for a countertop material and felt like it was so overwhelming your head was going to explode?
Well I am going to take away all the confusion with a simple guide I have created. It's a small excerpt from my E-Book I am writing (which of course you'll check out when it's available, right?). This should help you get some clarity of the options as well as a few designer tips I've thrown in for you.
So here is a simple "short list" breakdown of the basics.
1. Quartz – One of the world's strongest minerals! Currently in the American market, this is the most popular product for kitchen and bathroom countertop. You may have heard of several large companies like Caesar stone, Sile Stone, and Euro stone etc.
This is one of the strongest materials available for countertops! Why, you ask? That's because it is a combination of natural stone and a man made polymer (or glue). The natural stone is grinded and compressed together with man made glue to make an outrageously strong material. One other great quality is that it is VERY consistent in color. So for those of you looking for a modern clean look, this is the best way to go.
*A Tip- for those of you looking for a GREEN solid surface option, this also falls into the Quartz category. Companies like Terrazzo and Caesar Stone create their product in the same way, but also used recycled glass and other objects in making the slabs.
2. Granite – This is also a great material that is very strong and has a lot of natural beauty. However, unlike quartz, it varies greatly in color and pattern. If you appreciate the natural beauty of the patterns, veins, and colors that are in slabs, then this is the best option for you. I will also throw into this category a few softer natural materials like marble, limestone, and onyx. These show their natural beauty in the same way that granite does.
*A Tip – Before selecting one of these softer natural stones, think about the area that you are installing it. Does it have high traffic? If so, you need to keep in mind that this is a natural element that will need maintenance. The shine of a marble countertop on a kitchen island will dull over time and will need to be buffed and sealed to keep its glorious sheen.
3. Manmade – A great man made product is Corian by DuPont. You may remember this as a nasty pink material from the 80's, but it has a lot of popularity in the European market as a highly contemporary and sleek looking option. The great thing about this product is that it has a lot of room to mold and form into many shapes. I've seen complete kitchens made of this material where the sink and cabinet side panels are all integrated as one piece…and it's beautiful! Not to mention very easy to clean!
*A Tip – If using this in a retail space, a very cool feature is that you can backlit it for a lovely glow! It's an inexpensive option that gives a huge impact!
4. Other – Left are the other options of tile, concrete, wood, stainless steel, and laminate. Yes budget can play a huge roll in your selection for countertops, but here are the other things you should think about:
a. How much use (and abuse) will the surface have?
b. What is the overall style of the space?
Lastly, take into consideration that the countertop material is a horizontal surface and it is the equivalent of about 25% of the overall look in a kitchen or bathroom. The more visible items are the cabinets, walls, and flooring….so, try not to lose sleep over your decision.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara men's and women's track and field teams will be well-represented at the NCAA West Regional in Austin, Texas on May 23-25 as they will send 12 athletes who will compete in 14 events and two relay teams.
Leading the Gaucho contingent at the regional will be senior women's thrower Irene Kujore, who qualified in the shot put (51' 7.75"), discus (166' 4") and hammer (193' 5"). She won all three events at the Big West Championships.
Senior Jennifer Carey, who won the 400 meters at the league meet, is the highest qualifier among the UCSB women. Her best time of 52.29 ranks seventh those running in the event at the West Regional. The second highest qualifier for the Gauchos is senior Amanda Rodriguez whose time of 58.32 in the 400 meter hurdles ranks her ninth. Junior Danielle Moreno's best time of 34:27.81 in the 10,000 meters earned her a ticket to Austin as well.
In addition to the individuals advancing to the Regional, the women's 4x400 meter relay squads will advance. That foursome will include Carey, Rodriguez, Grace Esslinger and Tori Usgaard.
The highest qualifier among the men, and overall for that matter, is senior high jumper Mitchell Haag, a repeat Big West champion, who is ranked fourth with his best leap of 7' 2.5".
Junior Jordan Scott will enter the 400 meters with a best time of 46.44. He will be joined on the track by sophomore Shyan Vaziri in the 800 meters (1:50.17), senior Juan Paredes in the 1,500 meters (3:45.79), freshman Bryan Guijarro in the 10,000 meters (29:41.04), junior Sean Johnson in the 110 meter hurdles (14.28) and senior Jimmy Martin in the 400 meter hurdles (52.76).
In addition to Haag and the runners, senior Derek Masterson's best throw of 218' 4" has qualified him in the javelin.
Like the women's team, the Gaucho men's 4x400 qualified for the Regional and they will be represented by Scott, Martin, Winton Nguyen and Eric Severiano.

On June 5, President Barack Obama signed the Border Tunnel Prevention Act of 2012, a proposal sponsored by Reyes that criminalizes the creation or financing of a tunnel from Mexico to the United States that could be used for the purposes of smuggling, trafficking or illegal immigration.
The law also criminalizes the "recklessly permitting the construction of an tunnel or subterranean passage on a person's land."
Reyes, 67, a prominent member of the House of Representatives who has served eight terms in Congress, was defeated in the Texas primary by former El Paso city council member Beto O'Rourke.
In the 21 years between 1990 to 2011 149 tunnels were discovered running from the U.S. to Mexico, many originating in the states of California and Arizona. Criminalizing the building and financing of tunnels should restrict access of drug smugglers, human traffickers and illegal immigrants to the United States, Reyes and Obama believe.

WASHINGTON – The Canadian government is objecting strenuously to pending New York legislation that aims to dissolve the Peace Bridge Authority, saying the measure threatens to stall $50 million in improvements to the bridge's American plaza the authority agreed to last year.
"At this time, there is a climate of doubt that puts progress on planned capital projects at risk, due to the tabling of bills in the New York Assembly and Senate, both of which aim to amend the incorporating legislation of the PBA," Scott Streiner, assistant deputy minister of Transport Canada, said in a May 31 letter to Howard B. Glaser, a top aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
"These deliberations on governance only serve as a distraction, and compromise the ability to move ahead on the approved capital projects," Streiner said in the letter, which The Buffalo News obtained from a source who asked not to be identified. "This is unfortunate."
Streiner noted the Peace Bridge Authority's board unanimously approved a capital plan for those $50 million in projects last October. Those American-side projects include widening the approach to the bridge inspection booths, a new ramp to move traffic off the plaza more efficiently and a new customs house.
"Canadian directors have strongly supported projects on both sides of the border, and have done so repeatedly," Streiner wrote.
That's exactly the opposite of what Glaser, director of state operations and senior policy advisor to Cuomo, said in an April 25 letter to Canadian Transport Minister Denis Lebel.
"Finally, after years of foot-dragging, progress is occurring on the American side of the border," Glaser wrote. "Unfortunately, that progress is in jeopardy due to a lack of cooperation from Canadian members of the PBA board."
The exchange of letters between Streiner and Glaser is just the latest chapter in the binational battle over the future of the span that links Buffalo with Fort Erie, Ont.
While the Peace Bridge Authority's Canadian members have been outspoken in defending their actions, Streiner's letter is the clearest statement yet of the Canadian government's concern over the pending legislation in Albany, which passed through Senate and Assembly committees last week with what lawmakers called the quiet support of the governor.
In the letter, Streiner mentioned what could be a huge roadblock to that legislation.
"Canada's view is that significant amendments to the governance of the PBA cannot be made without the consent of both federal governments," he wrote.
And he indicated Canada will not sign off on the idea behind the legislation, which is to let New York State rather than a binational authority control operations on the bridge's American plaza.
"The decades of successful functioning of the PBA under the existing governance structure are proof that it works," he wrote. "Canada is committed to the PBA and the existing governance structure, and understands that your administration also wants to make the current structure work."
Glaser, however, expressed an entirely different view in his letter to Transport Canada, saying that U.S. members of the Peace Bridge Authority board had lost confidence in the authority's general manager, Ron Rienas, a Canadian.
"With this matter unresolved, there is serious doubt about the ability of the Peace Brdige Authority to function," Glaser wrote.

Latics held by Addicks
Charlton clung on for a point despite having Christian Dailly sent off in the first half of their 0-0 draw at Oldham.
Last Updated: 09/04/11 6:24pm
Charlton clung on for a point despite having Christian Dailly sent off in the first half of their 0-0 draw at Oldham.
Dailly saw red for violent conduct but Addicks keeper John Sullivan made a string of impressive saves to deny Oldham victory.
Oldham's Chris Taylor went close with an early free-kick and Sullivan had to be alert on 13 minutes to save from Aidan White.
Bradley Wright-Phillips shot wide as Charlton began to threaten, but the visitors missed a clear chance just after the half-hour when Therry Racon was denied by Dean Brill in a one-on-one with the keeper.
Charlton went down to 10 men after 34 minutes, Dailly receiving a straight red card when he lashed out in retaliation to Reuben Reid's foul. Oldham piled on the pressure but Ritchie Jones headed over and Sullivan pulled off two flying saves from Cedric Evina.
Charlton's Jon Fortune cleared another effort off the line before the Oldham frustration was summed up when Jean Yves Mvoto wasted a chance from six yards.

After a tough time test, this stage across the rolling hills of central Brittany to the gritty seaport of Lorient will be a day when the big teams will likely let an early break get up the road. Rabobank's Oscar the Cat Freire is a likely candidate for the win for his 2nd stage win at Le Tour. After stage 8, the Tour entourage will board a charter flight to Bordeaux and rest day #1.

Reviewed by Jimmy M. (age 9)
I thought the book was very entertaining! Even though at some parts I thought I was nearly fainting! Also in one part, I thought I was under water with Stephanie. My favorite part is when Skullduggery Pleasant did some thing that I cannot tell you about because it would give away the story. However, Derek Landy sure put in description. "The world was turning gray," was one of them. I never wanted to put the book down! When my favorite scene ended, the adventure went back to Stephanie's house where she learns something HUGE. I can tell you this though my favorite scene involves Serpine and the book of names. I found Skullduggery interesting because he is only bones no skin and he can talk. This was shocking to me when I found out. Tanith Low reminded me of myself because she never gave up and did her best. As I read the book, I felt scared and a little bit confused. The book made me wonder will Stephanie and Skullduggery survive? I kept thinking that the author would take me to a different place and then unexpectedly he would! I hope Derek Landy makes a sequel to Skullduggery Pleasant!
I would recommend this book to fantasy lovers ages 10 and up. This is because there is some gory details I will not name.

The Black Friday edition of The Dan Patrick Show, hosted by an Internet hack with whom you may be vaguely familiar, generated a surprising amount of news. From NFL executive V.P. of football operations Ray Anderson sharing details regarding the latest use of a foot by Ndamukong Suh to the red-flag fiasco to the league's intention to keep suspending players for illegal hits despite the reduction of Ed Reed's suspension to 49ers safety Donte Whitner declaring that Colin Kaepernick will be the starting quarterback on Sunday, it was an eventful three hours.
The final guest in the final segment also shed some light on what would have been a major story coming out of the Texans-Lions game but for Suh and the red flag and the missed field goals in overtime. Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and defensive line coach Bill Kollar got into a fairly heated discussion on the sideline, with Watt uncharacteristically animated and red faced.
So what was that all about? Watt said they were simply listing the things for which they're thankful.
He continued to downplay the situation, as did coach Gary Kubiak in his Friday session with reporters. Kubiak said he didn't even know about it. "[T]hey argue every day," Kubiak said, via CSNHouston.com, "so that's nothing new."
It's also nothing new for Watt to be dominant. His three sacks on Thursday give him 14.5 for the season, which will keep him in the thick of the league MVP chatter. Watt said Friday that he embraces the consideration, since it helps give positive attention to his team.
His team is now 10-1, and the Texans are moving toward the top seed in the AFC. Though Ross Tucker has suggested on NBC Sports Network that the Texans could be better off facing high-powered passing attacks of the Patriots and Broncos in the elements of their home stadiums and not in the climate-controlled successor to the Astrodome, Watt was clear — he wants the team to play any playoff games at home.
If they do, they might be playing the final game of the season not very far away from Houston.

Xenocode has introduced its Xenocode Virtual Application Studio ISV Edition, designed to help developer package their Windows, .NET, and Java-based applications into self-contained virtual executables that run instantly on end-user desktops -- without installation, setup, dependencies or conflicts.
Virtual Application Studio ISV Edition lets you package applications for delivery by capturing a "snapshot" of applications in a ready-to-run state. The software then builds a lightweight, self-contained virtual executable that runs instantly on any Windows desktop, regardless of operating system version or privilege restrictions. Xenocode's virtualization technology adds negligible space and performance overhead and does not require a copy of any host operating system to be included in the deliverable. Virtual applications can be run instantly off the Web, file shares, and CDs, saved into legacy MSI packages, or deployed on portable USB devices.
"Application virtualization will reshape the way software publishers deliver products to their customers. Unlike legacy deployment technologies such as MSI, Xenocode technology provides end-users with an instant, reliable experience while dramatically reducing development, test, and support costs," says Xenocode's Kenji Obata. "With Xenocode Virtual Application Studio ISV Edition, software publishers and their customers will never again experience a failed setup or wait hours for applications to install."
Application virtualization is a technology that separates applications from the underlying operating systems on which they execute. Unlike hardware virtualization solutions that require an entire copy of the host operating system, Xenocode's lightweight application virtualization technology emulates core operating system features required for application execution.

Stars' Benn, Seguin develop chemistry on, off iceby Steve Hunt
DALLAS -- Almost from the moment the Dallas Stars acquired Tyler Seguin in a July 4 trade with the Boston Bruins, many wondered how quickly he and Jamie Benn, a 2012 all-star who was recently named Dallas captain, would jell as members of the Stars' top line.
The acquisition of Seguin gives him a fresh start under Stars coach Lindy Ruff, hired in June after Dallas went 22-22-4 last season under Glen Gulutzan, who was relieved of his duties in mid-May after the Stars missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a fifth straight season.
Coming to Dallas allows Seguin, 21, to return to his more natural position of center after playing wing for almost his entire time in Boston. And with Seguin moving to center, Benn, who played center for the past three seasons with the Stars, shifts to his natural spot at left wing.
So, with two-thirds of the top line already determined, Ruff needed a third player to effectively complement the skills of Benn and Seguin. He decided on Erik Cole, whom the Stars acquired from the Montreal Canadiens in a February trade that sent Michael Ryder back to his former team.
Cole brings a veteran presence and poise to this talented and youthful duo, and like all of his Dallas teammates he is intrigued by the sheer possibilities of what Benn and Seguin could achieve this season.
"They both have really big egos and sometimes they really bump heads. It's painful to listen to them bicker back and forth on the bench," Cole said, jokingly. "But other than that, they've been pretty good."
Ruff also likes what he has seen from Benn and Seguin during preseason, and the veteran coach forecasts a very high ceiling for them going forward.
"They like playing together. There's great communication. I think first and foremost that's the biggest hurdle: two guys communicating," Ruff said. "On ice, they're looking for each other a lot of the time."
One reason Benn and Seguin have been able to build solid on-ice synergy in a short time is because the two young Stars live close to one another and spend a lot of time together off the ice, and that off-ice chemistry has definitely carried over onto the ice.
"We've been growing a pretty good relationship," Benn said. "We didn't know each other until this year. We've been hanging out quite a bit off the ice. Obviously, we live in the same building. I think the more chemistry we build off the ice, it's just going to transfer to on the ice. We've had a pretty good training camp here."
Seguin has faced Benn once in a game, in a 4-2 win by Dallas over Boston on Dec. 31, 2011, and he and his new linemate have been skating together for several months.
"I think we've gained some chemistry already. I think it's just about finding what each other likes and learning what each other's game is," Seguin said. "Over time, I think we'll build more chemistry together but so far in preseason and training camp, I thought we've worked out pretty well. Obviously, with Cole on our line also, he's a hard worker out there and brings a little bit of older, veteran experience to us, so we've been clicking."
"He's a little skinnier than I thought."
-- Jamie Benn on Tyler Seguin
But in what might be the surest sign of how close Seguin and Benn have become, theirs is a relationship complete with plenty of joking around, usually at the other's expense.
In fact, when Seguin was asked if there has been anything about Benn's game that has surprised him thus far, he replied that No. 14 was a bit faster than he originally realized. Benn, however, took the question as an opportunity to land a little friendly jab on Seguin.
"He's a little skinnier than I thought," Benn said. "Not really. We've all seen quite a bit of him the last three years here in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He's such a dynamic skater. He's got great hands, good vision for the ice. Not much has surprised me out there."

The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence
With the cancellation of funding for an alien-hunting telescope in California, we look at the science behind the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence.
Where is everybody?
This was the question reportedly asked by nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi during a lunch at Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico back in 1950.
It's now known as the Fermi Paradox. It's intended to highlight the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability that there are alien civilizations in our galaxy, and the lack of any evidence that they really do exist.
There are a number of attempted explanations of why this should be the case, such as alien civilizations being too far away, eventually being destroyed by themselves or by natural events – or because they aren't there to find.
A decade after Fermi's question, astrophysicist Frank Drake, the pioneer of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, created what is now referred to as the Drake Equation to try to estimate the number of alien civilizations in our galaxy.
The equation is based on the star formation rate, the fraction of stars that have planets and the probabilities of, for example, the planets developing life and that life evolving intelligence.The problem is that we don't accurately know the values of most of the variables, and Drake himself has said that his equation is just a way of "organising our ignorance" on the matter.
Most approaches aimed at detecting aliens involve listening out for signals and hoping we find something.
Listening out
Efforts to detect signs of extraterrestrial intelligence usually use radio telescopes, typically utilising a portion of their time that is not devoted to traditional radio astronomy.
Assuming that alien signals are much like our own, the data analysts are on the lookout for repeating signals with a narrow bandwidth.
But because there is little time dedicated to SETI activities, and resources are scarce, there have only been studies at a handful of frequencies from a few thousand star systems – out of more than 100 bn stars in total.
Arguably the best candidate for the detection of an artificial transmission so far is the "Wow!" signal, picked up in 1977 by the Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University.
It lasted for the entirety of the maximum 72 seconds for which it could be observed, suggesting a constant signal, and was at a frequency similar to that of hydrogen resonance, which has been suggested as one at which strong interstellar signals might be transmitted.
Repeated attempts to relocate the signal have not found anything, however.
Because using radio telescopes can only possibly detect civilizations that have reached a certain level of technology, some have suggested finding planets around other stars and monitoring their atmospheres.
This could first determine whether they're capable of supporting life like that which is found on Earth, and then detect any changes in composition that would result from an industrial revolution.
Announcing our presence
Signals from Earth have been leaking into space, unwittingly announcing our presence to any extraterrestrial civilizations, since the first FM radio and TV transmissions.
Unlike some other frequencies, which bounce off the atmosphere, FM signals can penetrate it and be carried through space.
But any aliens wanting to catch 24-hour rolling news coverage would have to be nearby.
Until recently, TV transmissions have been omnidirectional – they spread out roughly equally in every direction through space. So their power decreases with the square of the distance that the signal has travelled through space, meaning that broadcasts would be extremely difficult to pick up at a range of more than a few tens of lightyears.
It will be even harder in the future because of both satellite television and the digital switchover.
Whereas the old type of broadcasts sent radio waves in every direction, the requirements of satellite TV mean sending them in tighter beams up to satellites and then back down to Earth again, so less of the signal leaks into space.
The UK is also due to switch over to digital rather than analogue broadcasting, and digital signals only need about a quarter of the power, making any transmission even weaker still by the time it reaches neighbouring stars.
But even if accidentally leaked messages are weak, we can still try to make contact deliberately by beaming messages towards a particular location in space.
This has been attempted several times, the best known of which was transmitted by the Arecibo radio observatory in 1974. The message was a sequence of binary digits, which, when decoded shows pictorial and mathematical representations of a human being, our solar system and DNA.
It was aimed at the M13 globular cluster of around 30 000 stars 21 000 light years away, which will no longer be there by the time the message arrives – it was intended more as a demonstration of technology and to be thought-provoking.
Although the power of deliberately transmitted beams doesn't drop as rapidly as with accidental broadcasts, they are still only likely to be strong enough to be detected within perhaps a few hundred to a few thousand lightyears. The effective range of a transmission depends on several factors, including the frequency, bandwidth and transmission power, as this range-calculator shows.
Even for messages at high power, any extraterrestrials waiting to hear from us could need a radio dish several kilometres across. They may not have the budget for it.

The events that occurred in Newtown, Conn., are appalling and troublesome. As President Barack Obama mentioned in his address to the members of the Newtown community, this was the fourth time that he visited a town or city where mass shootings occurred during his presidency.
The events that occurred in Newtown, Conn., are appalling and troublesome. As President Barack Obama mentioned in his address to the members of the Newtown community, this was the fourth time that he visited a town or city where mass shootings occurred during his presidency.
The Newtown rampage involved so many very young, innocent children who had their lives ahead of them and had done nothing wrong. They just went to school on that horrific day. As commentators, politicians, family members and others reflect on the inexplicable behavior of a person who, obviously, had been living with serious mental problems, the focus will be on strengthening gun control laws. Indeed, there is much that needs to be done in this area. However, as most anyone will agree, if someone is bent on doing harm, no law will prevent them from succeeding.
In my judgment, we should focus on strengthening our mental health services and programs. It is certainly alarming that throughout the country, states have reduced funding for mental health programs by more than $2 billion. Here in Alabama, the state facility for the intellectually challenged has been closed and the hospital that is being built for the mentally ill will have fewer than 300 beds. To the best of my understanding, there are no beds for children or adolescents.
Placing people with severe mental health problems out in the community where there are limited resources increases the likelihood that more people will die. Putting individuals with serious mental health issues in group homes, nursing homes or on the street will skew the balance of wrong over right in our society.
As I have read some of the accounts of the person responsible for taking so many lives in Newtown, it becomes apparent that there were multiple signs that begged for professional attention. It was noted that the school counselor saw Adam Lanza. I do not mean to demean the role of school counselors but they are, typically, not trained to deal with individuals with severe mental health problems.
When the Community Mental Health Act was passed in the 1960s, it was a noble endeavor to reduce the large number of patients in mental health facilities throughout the country. I would agree that if a person can be treated outside of an institutional setting, that is preferable. Yet that decision cannot come at the expense of public safety.
The requisite funding to implement the provisions of the act were never forthcoming. Similarly, it is too evident that decisions around mental health are being reached based on cost, not what is best for the patient and the community. Society can spew forth rationalizations, but that will not be acceptable to those who are affected by the behaviors that place them and those they love and care about in harm's way. It will be interesting to see what the politicians at the federal and state levels do once the memory of the Newtown killings becomes more distant and fades into the recesses of their collective memories.
We need to be diligently working with school systems and parent groups to identify young people who are displaying problematic behavior. If necessary, we may need to use the resources of the judicial system to require parents to get help. There is precedent for holding parents and guardians responsible for the actions of their children. Judges in juvenile and family courts have ordered families to seek professional help in matters dealing with their children. This might well be an approach that begins to address the problems that some young people are experiencing.
It has been reported that Nancy Lanza had reached an impass with her son and did not know what to do. Did she seek professional help? Did she participate in any therapeutic sessions focusing on her son's problems? Why did she take her son out of school and home school him? Did the school identify problems that went unattended? Students and faculty have reported behavior that should have raised some flags and triggered responses. Would what happened in Newtown not have happened if Adam Lanza had gotten the help he so desperately needed? Maybe not, and herein is the dilemma.
Dealing with the human mind and the behaviors of humans is not an exact science, but therapeutic interventions can and do work. We should focus on and commit to bolstering these resources throughout our country following this terrible tragedy.

text: Ending a marriage is more than just an emotional process--it's also a legal process. The court must approve your "dissolution of marriage" petition, and will also rule on issues related to the division of property, alimony (also known as spousal support or maintenance), child custody and child support. A divorce or family law attorney can help guide you through the divorce process, while also negotiating with your soon-to-be ex-spouse and his or her divorce lawyer. It's important to note that ethics laws prohibit the same law firm or attorney from representing both spouses in a divorce. Even if your divorce is an amicable one, it's critical to have your own legal representation to ensure that you're treated fairly at all stages of the divorce proceeding.

Something Out Of Not Much
6:00 PM, Saturday night: Despite having an 8:30 PM reservation to one of Los Angeles' most beloved restaurants (Sona- to which neither of us had ever been), J and I found ourselves in a heap on the sofa, exhausted from running around in unusually muggy weather all day. We got into the do-you-wanna-go-well-I-don't-care-what-do-you-wanna-do? conversations which basically made us realize that a pricey restaurant like Sona should be saved for a time when we were totally feeling it. J tuned into the Raider game while I stared glumly into the refrigerator (I know mom- I shouldn't stand in front of the fridge with the door open!) wondering what to make. Since I'd assumed we'd go out for dinner I hadn't really done my grocery shopping, I was looking at a few veggies in the drawer, plus an array of condiments, some random nubs of cheese and one baked chicken breast that sat alone in a Tupperware. Not very promising.
Upon further investigation (read: I looked in the freezer) I found a badly beaten up Whole Foods ready-made pizza crust that was bent out of shape and hiding underneath bags of frozen corn and a bottle of vodka. At least I had a jumping off point now! I took it out, saw that it was intact and let it thaw back into its normal flat shape on a cutting board.
Since I didn't have any marinara or pizza sauce, I decided to do a kind of white pizza with what I had. After combining some sour cream, grated parmesan, grated gruyere, 1 egg yolk, lots of cracked black pepper and chopped basil into a paste, I spread it onto the thawed crust all the way to the edge, then covered the whole thing in thinly sliced zucchini which I'd salted and drained. Dinner was starting to come together! A grating of parmesan finished up the "flatbread" as I like to call it, and I popped it in the oven.
I was lucky enough to have one ear of corn and one gigantic tomato which came together, with some basil, to form a simple salad. Then I took the lone chicken breast and made a chicken salad and thinly sliced what I had left of a baguette to serve with it. I normally don't do the carb/carb dinner combo, but it seemed to make sense!
So, this is the dinner that came out of having to create something with what was there, and it turned out pretty well!
I think I'll try to do this more often- instead of buying more groceries, just try and create a meal out of what's already there. It forces you to be creative, and is a good way to use up leftovers.
What's in your pantry/fridge?

P.S. You're a sod and a womanizer.
My friend Tim Becker introduced me to Bukowski about a year ago.
We met up at a coffee shop, he threw this skinny orange book of poetry across the table to me, Play The Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit. He said to me "I got this for you. It's Charles Bukowski. I think you'll like it.
Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit? Yeah, Tim, I think you're right.
Tim and I parted ways and I read a few poems. I wasn't overly impressed until I read this bit:
I got it through the eyes: hatred,
centuries deep and true. I was wrong and graceless and
sick. all the things that I had learned had been wasted.
there was no living creature as foul as I
and all my poems were
That hit me. A poem called I'm in love. I'm in love. It's not she is so wonderful. It's not he is so wonderful. There is joy maybe in the first few lines of this poem. This poem is him telling the woman he's with that he's in love with someone else, and expecting her to be excited. This poem was filled with the bitter taste of life.
I knew I loved Bukowski when he told me the disdain that was in this woman's eyes. He was not the hero, and he wasn't going to pretend to be, because that's not who he was. His poem leaning on wood revealed him a barfly. His poem the red porsche revealed him a romantic, but I couldn't care less until I saw that cold honesty.
This man had seem some shit.
Over thirty books of poetry in one lifetime. This man wrote several poems a day, while somehow working several billion odd jobs (see one of his several novels, Factotum, for further details). I was all for Ginsberg until I met Bukowski. Don't get me wrong. They're both gods to any poet, Bukowski was just the god that spoke to me a little more.
A couple months later I'd picked up a copy of Sifting Through the Madness for the Word, the Line, the Way. I was sitting at work at the call center, and for the first time in my two year career at this godless call center, we had two minutes between calls. I devoured the entire 400-some-odd page book in one shift. It was crack for me. What I said in my previous post about having to trick people into reading poetry; Bukowski had mastered it.
You know when you're eating a good meal, and you're eating this delicious steak and you're in love with that delicious steak, but in the back of your brain you're drooling waiting to eat those delicious garlic potatoes. That's what I was having with Bukowski. I wouldn't be half-way through a poem before I started to crave the next course.
Then, I read Post Office. It was the most disgustingly raunchy and innocently heartfelt book I've ever read.
Then I read Betting on the Muse. Then I read The Roominghouse Madrigals. Then I read The People Look Like Flowers At Last (on a side note, Bukowski book titles are often something you have to check your book shelf to remember the proper title for.)
As for now, I'm reading Women. You don't put down a Bukowski book in your right hand until you have the next one ready in your left.
Some of you who read this will be like "Yeah. Bukowski. I was alive when he read in New York. He's old news…" and I envy you a bit, but I'm writing this more for the person who says "Who's Bukowski?" Because they desperately need a little Bukowski in their life.
I leave you with Bukowski's poem so you want to be a writer? and a link to one of my poem's involving "Henry Chinaski," as you'll soon come to know him: ANDERNACH.
so you wanna be a writer?
if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.
if you have to sit for hours
staring at your computer screen
or hunched over your
searching for words,
don't do it.
if you're doing it for money or
don't do it.
if you're doing it because you want
women in your bed,
don't do it.
if you have to sit there and
rewrite it again and again,
don't do it.
if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,
don't do it.
if you're trying to write like somebody
forget about it.
if you have to wait for it to roar out of
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.
if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.
don't be like so many writers,
don't be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don't be dull and boring and
pretentious, don't be consumed with self-
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
over your kind.
don't add to that.
don't do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don't do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don't do it.
when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
and there never was.

MIDDLEBURY — The incident happened two years ago, but the memories of it are indelibly seared in the memory banks of both Paul Garrow and Pat Shaw.
The two veteran Middlebury firefighters and 31 of their colleagues had gathered at their Seymour Street headquarters on Dec. 14, 2016, for an evening of training, food and conversation.
Their training was interrupted at 7:40 p.m. for the real thing: A report of a structure fire at 7 Murdock Court. And to make matters worse, someone was trapped in the structure.
MIDDLEURY — The Middlebury and Ferrisburgh fire departments have reaped a combined total of $295,985 in federal grant money to buy equipment that will keep their firefighters safer and thereby allow them to better serve local residents.

MIDDLEBURY — Several area businesses will be teaming up to raise money for some critical first responders in Middlebury this Saturday, Aug. 19, as part of a fundraising tradition that began six years ago in memory of former volunteer firefighter Adam Myers.
MIDDLEBURY — Rick Cole had always planned on retiring as Middlebury fire chief at age 65. But that landmark birthday happened to coincide with one of the most important periods in the fire department's history — its pitch for major construction makeovers of its Seymour Street and East Middlebury stations.
MIDDLEBURY — Town officials want to know if the Middlebury Fire Department would be willing to receive $72,000 less into its equipment savings account next year as a way of relieving stress on a tight 2013-14 municipal budget.
It was around two decades ago that Middlebury began the process of earmarking two cents on its tax rate each year to raise money for major fire equipment purchases in the future. It is a policy that has allowed Middlebury to forgo floating bond issues for the purchase of fire apparatus such as pumpers and ladder trucks.
MIDDLEBURY — East Middlebury residents on Saturday morning will get their first comprehensive look at their new fire station, a 50-foot-by-60-feet building completed within budget and in less than five months.
"This is a very exciting time for the Middlebury Fire Department (MFD)," Lt. Pat Shaw said on Thursday as he opened, with the flick of a switch, the two 14-foot-by14-foot bay doors that will soon accommodate — with plenty of room to spare — the fire apparatus that will continue to protect the East Middlebury community.
MIDDLEBURY — The 196-year-old Middlebury Community House — which is maintained on behalf of local residents by a longstanding trust — is entering a new era with a smaller property footprint, more financial stability and a plan to better showcase itself to Addison County — thanks in part to the ongoing Middlebury Fire Department project.
Built in 1816 beside the Congregational Church of Middlebury at the head of Main Street, the Middlebury Community House remains one of the best examples of post-colonial, Federal-style architecture left in town.
