Author Q&A
Which historical events or figures featured in your dictionary have most influenced your study of your subject?
Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Leo von Klenze, Sir Edwin Lutyens, Sir John Soane, Peter Joseph Lenné, John Buonarotti Papworth, and other late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century designers, who produced beautiful, pleasing, original work (yet steeped in Classical tradition), and did not talk a lot of nonsense about 'morality', 'objectivity', or other drivel obsessed about by Modernists. Study of their works over many years has brought great delight: it has sustained my scholarship, and convinced me that the confusions about architecture created by personalities such as John Ruskin, Nikolaus Pevsner, Walter Gropius, and 'Le Corbusier' (who demonstrated woeful ignorance about Greek and other historical architecture, as well as laying down dictatorial demands that have all created disastrous environments then will be horrendously expensive to make good) have resulted in a nightmare world of waste, inhumanity, and uninhabitable buildings and cities. The damage done is probably incapable of repair now, and we face a terrible future.
What do you think is the most commonly held misconception in your subject area?
That Modernism was 'scientific', 'logical', 'inevitable', 'objective', 'moral', or anything else claimed for it: it resembled more a fundamentalist pseudo-religious cult; it created a hellish new world, a Dystopia; and it has failed to deliver the environmental goods as promised as it has been an environmental, expensive, aesthetic disaster. Architecture is not 'moral'.
Which figure in your subject's history would you most like to invite to a dinner party? What would you ask him/her?
Karl Friedrich Schinkel, because he was a man of many talents, perhaps the greatest architect of his century, or even of all time, gifted in a great many ways, and knew many fascinating people, such as E. T. A. Hoffmann (of Tales of fame). Clubbable, he enjoyed roistering evenings in the tavern with his chums, and his diary of his visit to England, Wales, and Scotland (1826) is a marvellously well-observed account of his trip. I would ask him for an honest assessment of contemporary design and the modern urban landscape, and why harmoniousness in townscapes has been deliberately suppressed. I would also draw his attention to those apologists for Modernism who claimed him as an influence; I reckon his response would be vitriolic.

Adult Swim has another hit web game on its hands with Escape from Puppy Death Factory.
It's essentially a tribute to Metroid ... with, y'know, puppies. Just wait until you see the ship -- it's priceless. The twist is that you swap positions with objects shot by your gun. I don't know if it's too early in the morning or what, but the difficulty seemed to escalate rather quickly.
If for some reason you want to make yourself cry, rescue a single puppy and return to your ship. The ensuing cut scene is absolutely heartbreaking.

There won't be a second season of The Jeff Probst Show. CBS Television Distribution said Wednesday that it has canceled the syndicated freshman talk show hosted by the Survivor veteran.Jeff Probsts daytime talker will not return even though it has a two-year deal for distribution on syndicated television. A victim of low ratings and an inability to stand out among so many shows, the series will finish its current run before leaving the schedule in the summer.We believe Jeff is an incredible talent and that he and his dedicated producing team delivered quality episodes throughout the season, said CTD in a statement. Unfortunately, the audience isnt there to support a second year. We are grateful to the entire staff, our affiliate partners and advertisers for their ongoing support of The Jeff Probst Show. Production and broadcast of original episodes will continue through the current season.Said Probst: I'm super bummed but extremely proud. The truth is all shows come to an end -- ours just ended a decade sooner than we had hoped.CBS, according to a source, let NBC and other station groups know they would not be held to the two-year contract for Probst, shackling them with such a low rated show -- the second freshman talker to be canceled this month. Twentieth Television pulled the plug on The Ricki Lake Show on Feb. 4.The cancelation announcement comes on the same day that Survivor returns on CBS, for its 26th incarnation with Probst as host and an exec producer. Survivor: Caramoan will feature 10 fans of the show competing with former contestants. When CBS renewed Probst's Survivor contract, it agreed to work out a schedule that would allow him to do both shows -- but that conflict has ended.STORY: Jeff Probst on Talk Show Rivals at TCA 2012Probst provided the lead in for Steve Harvey in many markets, a show that started around the same time and has done considerably better. In the latest national ratings, Harvey had a 1.6 household rating, which translates into about 2.2 million viewers a day.Probst was one of four major talk shows that premiered last September, an unusually large number for current market conditions. Besides Ricki Lake, who was canceled last week, there was Disney/ABCs Katie, starring Katie Couric, which will return for a second season. In the latest syndicated ratings, Katie had a 2.0 household rating and was averaging 2.6 million viewers a day.From his premiere week last September, when he drew an average household rating of .7 (less than a third of what Dr. Phil attracts) Probst was fighting an uphill battle. His formula of bringing on real people and an occasional celebrity just didnt find a following.In mid-January, former Facts Of Life star Lisa Welchel was added as Probsts co-host, but it the ratings never got better after the show stumbled out of the gate. Probst, while working for CBS, was anchored on NBC stations in the nations largest markets, mostly at 2 pm. That pitted him against tough competition including Katie, The Doctors, Wendy Williams, Steve Wilkos and Dr. Oz in some markets, among others.Outside of the NBC stations, his show was carried by station groups including Gannett, Post Newsweek, Belo, Cox and Lin, often in time periods that used to carry Oprah before she left syndication two seasons ago. Probst never came close to being her replacement.

Oh Look, More Cord Cutters: Time Warner Cable Loses 155,000 TV Subscribers
from the that-river-in-egypt-keeps-growing dept
And since then, the evidence of cord cutting has only grown. We noted recently that Comcast had lost 275,000 video subscribers, which they tried to explain away by blaming "the economy." Of course, the economy was a lot worse last year. And, now, Time Warner Cable has released the news that it's lost 155,000 TV subscribers. But cord cutting isn't real, right?

Elevated Transit is tentatively planning to launch once-daily service from Blanding and Moab to Salt Lake City some time in early June. Company CEO Steven Fuller is eager to get things started, but he told The Times-Independent that he can't commit to a firm starting date until a bus manufacturer delivers his three-vehicle fleet.
Fuller anticipates that the buses will begin to arrive in Utah late this month.
In the meantime, his company is finalizing its operating agreements with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and Greyhound. It's also developing a website, which should be up and running within the next few weeks, according to Fuller.
Once everything is in place, Elevated Transit plans to offer once-daily service in both directions between Blanding and Salt Lake City International Airport. Along the way, the buses are scheduled to stop in Monticello, Moab, Green River, Price, Spanish Fork, Provo and downtown Salt Lake.
"We are very excited to get the wheels rolling," Fuller said May 8.
The service is funded through $4 million grant, and ultimately aims to improve passengers' access to various transit systems along the route, according to regional UDOT spokesman Kevin Kitchen.
"One of the real goals here is to be able to tie into other transit systems," Kitchen told The Times-Independent in February.
Elevated Transit's fleet will include two 35-passenger coaches, along with a backup vehicle, that come equipped with Wi-Fi Internet service, televisions, lavatories and comfortable seating. The Glaval Synergy coaches will also be equipped to accommodate disabled passengers, as required by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
At some point before service begins, area residents will have a chance to tour the buses during open house meetings in Moab and Blanding.
"The purpose would be to allow the members of the community to check out the buses and have an opportunity for a short ride," Fuller said.
Once the service begins, the daily northbound bus is tentatively scheduled to depart from Utah State University Eastern's Blanding campus at 7:24 a.m. Fuller is planning two stops in Moab: an 8:50 a.m. stop at 300 S. Main St., followed by an 8:57 a.m. stop at the Lions Park Transit Hub just north of town. After additional stops along the way, the bus is scheduled to reach Salt Lake's airport at 1:46 p.m. each afternoon.
The daily southbound bus is scheduled to leave the Salt Lake airport at 8:04 a.m. It is set to arrive at Moab's Lions Park Transit Hub at 12:55 p.m. each day, followed by a 1:02 p.m. stop at 300 S. Main St. Arrival times in Blanding had not been set as of press time this week.
Both schedules are subject to change, pending final UDOT and Greyhound approval.
Elevated Transit is currently accepting résumés via email for bus driver and on-board attendant positions; applications should be sent to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Applicants would need to start work in Blanding at 7:20 a.m. each day. Weekly shifts for both positions will run for 30 to 40 hours, and employees will receive benefits, Fuller said.

Johnny Tremain Notes & Analysis
The free Johnny Tremain notes include comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. These free notes consist of about 52 pages (15,506 words) and contain the following sections:
These free notes also contain Quotes and Themes & Topics on Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes.
Johnny Tremain Plot Summary
In revolutionary Boston, Johnny Tremain is an apprentice in the household of Mr. Lapham, an old master silversmith who lives with a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lapham, and his four grandchildren: Madge, Dorcas, Cilla, and Isannah. Johnny serves with two other apprentice boys, Dove and Dusty. Johnny is the most skilled of the three, so he is able to boss the other two around. Old and pious Mr. Lapham tries to teach Johnny to be humble according to the bible, but Johnny is prideful because he knows the shop cannot function without him.
One day, John Hancock, the richest man in Boston, stops by with an order for a silver sugar basin. Johnny is consumed with making the basin handle, even going to Paul Revere for advice. But because he continues to be demanding on the other boys, Mr. Lapham stops work, jeopardizing the timely completion of the project. So Mrs. Lapham arranges for Johnny to work illegally during the Sabbath. But Dove, in order to teach Johnny a lesson, hands him a cracked crucible, which results in a horrible accident where Johnny's thumb becomes attached to his hand, promptly ending his career as a silversmith apprentice.
Mr. Lapham pledges to keep Johnny around, but tells him he must find another line of work. Mrs. Lapham, who once depended so much on Johnny, now finds him to be a burden. Johnny falls out of favor with her and so he no longer feels wanted. Mrs. Lapham even arranges for a journeyman silversmith, Mr. Tweedie, to partner with Mr. Lapham.
Johnny tries to find work in various trades, even going to John Hancock, but no one will take him because of his bad hand. Johnny reaches his emotional bottom when Isannah refuses to be touched by his hand. Johnny heads to his mother's grave and breaks down. There, he decides to go see Jonathan Lyte, a rich merchant and possible kin. Before she died, his mother had told him to go to his rich relative only if there were no other choice. She gives Johnny a silver cup as proof of his claim in the Lyte family (the only person who knows about the cup is Cilla).
Before Johnny heads to Merchant Lyte, he enters a printing shop of the Boston Observer, a pro-independence newspaper. Johnny meets an intriguing boy slightly older than him named Rab. Rab, whose uncle runs the printing shop, has a quiet confidence about him that Johnny admires. Johnny tells Rab about his situation, and Rab offers him a job as a rider.
When Johnny goes to Jonathan Lyte, the merchant kicks him out. But when he finds out about Johnny's cup, he asks to see it. Johnny tells Rab about his visit to Merchant Lyte and finds out that Merchant Lyte is crooked. When Johnny takes his cup, Merchant Lyte accuses him of stealing it and has him arrested. With the help of Rab and through Cilla's testimony, Johnny is freed. He then takes up Rab's offer to be a rider for the Boston Observer.
Johnny's new life as a rider of the Boston Observer allows him access to the main leaders of the American Revolution, such as Sam Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock, Doctor Warren, and James Otis. Johnny takes part in the Boston Tea Party, and uses his skills to spy against the British. And through his friendship with Rab and Cilla, Johnny begins to mature and develop as a person.
As American protest intensifies, Johnny learns from Miss Lavinia Lyte, the daughter of Merchant Lyte, that he is his grandnephew. Although Johnny learns about his past, he realizes he must put it aside and live for the future, just as America seeks to break from its British heritage and forge a new identity.
As war nears, Rab, who is from Lexington, decides to join the Minute Men there. When the first British troops start moving, Johnny is there to relay the message to Paul Revere, who makes his historical midnight ride throughout the countryside to warn the Minute Men. At the Battle of Lexington, Rab is wounded, and eventually dies. Johnny is crushed, but he knows that many young men must die to achieve the goal of liberty and freedom. He learns from Doctor Warren that his thumb can be freed. Johnny agrees to undergo surgery so that he can take up Rab's musket and continue the fight for independence-in order "that a man can stand up."

When the good people at Disney invited me to be part of the media throng scheduled to cover the grand opening of its California Adventure theme park in early February, I was a bit confused. What did they think Farm Industry News was, Conde Naste Traveler? I tossed the press release in the trash and chalked it up as a mistake in yet another mass-mailed media relations campaign.
It turned out I was wrong. About a week later, a Disney public relations representative called to explain that Team Mouse had specially selected Farm Industry News because Disney's new 55-acre California Adventure theme park devotes one acre specifically to California agriculture. The faux farm features every crop grown in California, as well as a Caterpillar Tractor Yard where guests can climb into the cabs of a Challenger 95E and a Challenger 55. There's also a Cat SSL skid-steer loader in the orange grove and a Cat 3176 engine powering the irrigation pipe water play area. Caterpillar is the corporate sponsor of the one-acre Bountiful Valley Farms, partly because Caterpillar's original founders, C.L. Holt and Daniel Best, started building farm equipment in the Golden State in the late 1800s.
I still wasn't convinced that I should go. I'd seen Cat equipment before, and what parallels could I possibly draw between California agriculture and Midwest row crops? As a courtesy, I called my contact at Caterpillar to explain why I wouldn't be going. I never got the chance.
"Oh it's incredible, you HAVE to go," she exclaimed. "There's an IMAX movie called Soarin' Over California that really makes you feel like you're flying. And you won't believe how realistic the 3-D Bug's Life display is. The people who put together the crop displays did an incredible job, and the Challenger tractors look great! There's even going to be a specially trained staff to answer questions about the Caterpillar machines."
As she went on for another five minutes about how great the place was, I started to lose my resolve. I logged onto the weather channel and checked the forecast for where I live in Minnesota — a high of 2° and more snow. The forecast for Anaheim, CA, called for sunshine and mid 70s. It was then that I realized a Farm Industry News story about this theme park in sunny California might be just the ticket that shivering Midwestern farmers might be looking for. If you need to learn more about alternative crops or Caterpillar tractors for your farming business, you might as well do it in a warmer place, right? Of course, another reason to make the trip is that you might finally get the kids off your back about taking them to Disneyland.
Class act. If the Magic Kingdom was big before, the expanded park is HUGE now. The addition of California Adventure, a shoppe-filled street called Downtown Disney, and what my media guide called "the largest parking ramp in the free world" had approximately doubled the size of Mickey's California domain. The idea, my guide explained, was to make the park so big and fun-filled that visitors would have to stay overnight, possibly two or three nights, to see the whole thing. And, she said, because Disney had bought up and bulldozed most of the fleabag motels that had once surrounded the Magic Kingdom, visitors would be further encouraged to stay at one of the quality Disney hotels found within and adjacent to the park. "Now it's more than a theme park," she beamed. "It's a destination resort."
Despite my personal aversion to pre-packaged fun, I have to admit everything about the way Disney runs the place is a class act, especially the way they know how to entertain children. Breakfast with Minnie Mouse and other mascot-suited characters is so popular you may need reservations. During my stay, I soon developed a theory about why it's so hard for the rest of the country to find good, friendly employees in the restaurant and retail businesses — Disney has hired all the good help. And, quite possibly, those who are caught not smiling are forced to wear Disney character suits! (Just a theory.) By day two, their can-do winning attitudes were starting to put me on edge. I was just too used to the surly service back home.
There are three major theme areas within California Adventure, including the Golden State, Hollywood Pictures Back Lot and Paradise Pier. Each area offers something new, including a super roller coaster, a log flume mountain shaped like a grizzly bear, California wine tasting, and many other thoughtfully crafted attractions designed by Disney "Imagineers."
Educating the public. Bountiful Valley Farms does feature Caterpillar tractors. With thousands of people crawling in and out of the tractor cabs every week, Cat says it plans to use the tractors to further study the durability of cab components such as seats, hinges and knobs. Expect great advances in cab durability (and perhaps mouse-ear-shaped GPS antennas) to develop from this research.
In addition to several craft display and gift shops, the Bountiful Valley Farm includes profiles of 13 Outstanding California Farmers who grow everything from oranges to beneficial insects for biological pest control. While I was there, a total of 37 major crops of California were on living display in an artistic yet practical design that the staff horticulture expert called permiculture. Many farm attractions are rotated on a regular basis. Each crop display includes a plaque filled with enough fascinating facts to dazzle any Cliff Clavin wannabe. I found out, for example, that the area where Disney's resort now stands had once been covered by acres of strawberry fields and orange groves. On the artichoke plaque, I read that 99% of the nation's artichokes are grown in California and that Marilyn Monroe was crowned Artichoke Queen in 1947. Oh yes, at California Adventure, there's a lot to learn between snacks, rides and occasional naps in the sun.
To book a Disney vacation, contact your travel agent, call the Walt Disney Travel Company at 714/854-3109 or visit www.disneyland.com.
Daily passes are available for $43 for adults and $33 for children under nine years old.

I have the following line of C# code that successfully returns the results of a stored procudure via a DAL:
spParamGetGamesTableAdapter spGG10 = new spParamGetGamesTableAdapter();
I can bind spGG10 to a DataGrid and see the stored procedure query results, so I know everything is good so far.
I want to loop through the spGG10 (DataSet table?) and output each row on a row-by-row basis using a Literal Control. I think I know how do the output part, so...
My question is: How do I access the data in spGG10 and loop through its records? (Also, I am not exactly sure what kind of object spGG10 really is. Is it a table?)
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone give me suggestions on how to implement the following requirement?
1. A online wizard (step-by step operation) processes user requests across several ASP.NET pages. The session data is stored in memory until the user submits the request. Once the request is submitted, a XML file is created and the data are passed to XML.
# Case Study: The parent page has a "select" button. Click "select" will pop up a child page. The users can select 1000+ items from a datagrid in the child page. Once the user clicks "confirm", the selected items in the child page will be populated to the selected item gridveiw in the parent page. The user can keep selecting more in the child page and the selected items will be appended to the gridview in the parent page.
- What's the best way to extract strings from a text file and convert to a dataset in memory and then present it in a datagrid in UI?
- What's the best way to persist and manipulate a large dataset across pages? Session? or ViewState? Can it be accomplished by LINQ?
The app doesn't interact with a DB. Once the request is submitted, it will convert the in memory data to a XML file. What technology can be used to accomplished this?&nb
Hie Friends,
I have searched on net and even i worked on 2 huge shipping projects.
Everywhere i found that while binding data to control use dataset but when we save, they recommend use command (use generic collection and create command object with store procedure) why not we use dataset as in .NET 2.0 it is improved lot and data adapter has new feature batchupdatesize.
why we need to create property page which maps to all column in a database.
E.g. if i have employee table with empid and empname in database then i use to create emp.cs with properties of empid and empname and use same properties for saving. If i use these properties for validation in business rule then no problem. But why we use them in saving for creating command object.
I follow the tutorial and create DAL with Dataset. I created a Table Adapter with many column, but when i Call a simple Get for 2 column only. The system display 2 column and the rest column with empty data.
My question is that will this affect the performance? because i only need 2 column.
example: Table with 40 column define in Dataset in DAL. I have GetMember from Dataset with 40 column, some request only 1 column (with 39 empty), some request 22 column (with 18 empty column). Will this affact the performance?
Should i create a seperate DatasetAllColumn, Dataset1Column, Dataset22Column ?? so system only return exact column i need. and hofully the performance is optimized to it best.
i have a stored procedure which returns three tables to a dataset ..... now i need to merge all three tables to a single table from d same dataset
like dataset1 has table1 table2 and table3 .... i want all the three tabels to be merged into dataset1 itself .... instead of three diffrent tables so that i can show all three table data in a single datagrid as a compact data and combination of 3 tables from d single dataset.....
can some1 help me please.....
I know how to export a grid view to excel.
But here i have a Dataset which consists of data like below and also it need to display in a required format like below.

ADO.NET provides many techniques for improving the performance of data-intensive applications and for making them easier to build. The DataSet, the hallmark of the ADO.NET object model, serves as a miniature, disconnected facsimile of a data source. While using the DataSet improves performance by reducing expensive trips to the database server, it also introduces the possibility of multiple users attempting to change the same data simultaneously, thereby generating data concurrency exceptions. This article examines the common causes behind data concurrency exceptions and presents techniques for overcoming them.

- Expensive dining, even by New York standards
- Limited nightlife
- Fewer subway lines than most Manhattan neighborhoods
What's It Like?
Barney's and Vera Wang. Gossip Girl and The Jeffersons ("Movin' on up, to the East Side ... "). Andrew Carnegie, Woody Allen, and Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl." Long synonymous with old money and pricey real estate, the Upper East Side has lost some of its luster since the days of Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye. Nonetheless, it remains home to what might be the greatest concentration of individual wealth in the country.
There are basically three reasons to visit: shopping, museums, and Central Park. The shops that line Madison and 5th Avenues -- Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, Jimmy Choo, and on and on -- represent a veritable what's what (and who's who) of high-end fashion. The stretch of 5th Avenue that runs north from the low 80s to 104th Street, known as "Museum Mile," is home to a number of world-renowned museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art ("The Met") and the Guggenheim. Finally, there's Central Park (simply "the park" to locals), which, besides keeping New Yorkers sane, is a delightful place to walk, jog, bike, or sunbathe.
Where to Stay
The Upper East Side is ideal for families or older travelers who want to take in the museums and Central Park and avoid the tourist crowds of Times Square or the late-night parties of downtown. Unfortunately, quiet exclusivity also means fewer hotels. On the highest end, the iconic Pierre and Carlyle hotels offer a vivid taste of swanky Old New York. The Loews Regency is slightly more affordable, and also great for families (welcome treats for kids, magic shows every other Sunday). And then there's the Franklin -- one of the few budget options in the area ("budget" being a relative term in New York) -- which has small rooms but plenty of charm.

The Upper East Side has a reputation for posh living for a reason, and the neighborhood is home to some of the city's oldest and swankiest hotels.

'Rock Of Ages': Lookin' For Nothin' But A Good Time
Cast whatever aspersions you like at the teased-hair, spandex-clad rock 'n' roll of the '80s: base, superficial, oversexed, bleating loudly into the night without ever having much to say apart from the fact that sex, drugs, and itself were all that was needed for a pretty great party.
Taking all that for granted, and ignoring for a moment the attraction of a little wanton hedonism for a culture anxious over economic strife, expanding militarism, and the outbreak of HIV, and there's still one overriding factor that allowed the likes of Poison, Whitesnake, and Twisted Sister to pack stadiums and arenas across the world: Their music was just catchy as hell.
To this day, you can still cue up Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" or Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" on any jukebox in America and be reasonably assured of a spontaneous sing-along. Cue them up in a jukebox musical, as Chris D'Arienzo did in his Tony-nominated Broadway hit Rock of Ages — now adapted for the screen by director Adam Shankman — and you've got a dramatized mix tape with "guilty pleasure" scrawled on the label.
All the cerebral complaints you might have about the music apply equally to the film. It's silly, shallow, corny and polished to such a glossy sheen that it's likely to slip right back out of your brain the second the credits roll.
Sponsored By
But just like the music, it's far more fun than it has any right being. To borrow from Poison's Bret Michaels, it ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time, and that song's inclusion in the opening scenes is the movie's statement of purpose as much as that of the characters singing it.
Those characters, particularly the leads, are as flimsy and disposable as a cardboard record-store band display. But they're meant to be: When trying to mold a plot around songs with simplistic themes, the narrative sort of has to match.
To that end, the film opens in 1987 on a fresh-faced aspiring Midwestern singer, Sherrie Christian (Julianne Hough), taking the midnight train (actually a bus) going anywhere (well, L.A., with hopes of fame and fortune). Her song, of course, is Night Ranger's "Sister Christian," and as the rest of the travelers join in on the anthemic "Motoring ..." chorus, the tongue-in-cheek tone is firmly established.
The Romeo to her Juliet, the David Coverdale to her Tawny Kitaen, is Drew (Diego Boneta), a barback at the Sunset Strip's Bourbon Room (a stand-in for the Whiskey a Go Go); he's got rock star dreams but crippling stage fright. You know this story inside and out: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl amid much wrenching power balladry, boy gets girl back in rousing show-stopper.
The film's biggest problem isn't that predictability, but rather that this central romance, dependent on romantic leads with all the screen presence of an actual jukebox, is by far the most tedious of a number of interlocking pieces. Any time they're onscreen doing anything other than singing, thoughts turn to other, more entertaining strands: a posturing, hypocritical politician (Bryan Cranston) and his Tipper Gore-clone wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) on a moral crusade to take back the Strip by shuttering the Bourbon; the efforts of the hapless pair who run it (Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand) to keep things afloat; and, presiding over everything, a rock demigod by the name of Stacie Jaxx (Tom Cruise), who's barely able to find his way out of a fog of scotch, women and his own towering self-regard to make it to the stage and perform.
Sponsored By
When the film does succeed, it's in embracing its own silliness. Cruise, especially, channels the same scene-chewing absurdity that marked his turn in Tropic Thunder, and that film's writer, Justin Theroux, contributes much of the same irreverent, winking self awareness to this adaptation. This is a spoof of '80s rock culture as much as a celebration.
And for about 90 minutes, Rock of Ages largely succeeds in finding that good time it was looking for. Unfortunately, at just over two hours, it squanders much of that goodwill by the time the story of its bland young lovers has at long last been resolved. Like many of scraggly-haired metal dudes occupying the background of the film, it would benefit from a good trim. Copyright 2012 National Public Radio. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

ACAC Fitness & Wellness Center, Richmond, VA, broke ground last week on its new health club in West Broad Village in Richmond. ACAC owner Phil Wendel welcomed Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell, Henrico County Supervisors David A. Kaechele and Frank J. Thornton, and many West Broad Village neighbors to the ceremony.
In his remarks to the crowd, Gov. McDonnell thanked Wendel for his investment in Virginia, noting that this new club will bring another 150 permanent jobs to the area and provide high-quality health and fitness services.
The new club will cost approximately $16 million. The three-story, 57,000-square-foot facility will have singles and doubles squash courts, an indoor aquatics center with warm water pools, functional training space and three mind/body group exercise studios. In addition, the club's rooftop will have a heated pool and platform tennis.
In his address, Wendel noted that ACAC has been uniquely successful in building strong relationships with the medical community.
"In the past six years alone, we've received over 15,000 physician referrals to our clubs," Wendel said. "We've built a fitness facility with a significantly broader welcome mat. At ACAC, members of all ages and stages of health feel confident and comfortable learning how to exercise."
The West Broad Village club will be ACAC's second location in the Richmond area. ACAC currently operates a 100,000-square-foot facility in Midlothian and recently received the 2011 Innovation Impact Award in Chesterfield County's annual First Choice Business Awards for the success of its physician-referred exercise program.
ACAC has been on Club Industry's Top 100 Club list for the past 10 years, ranking No. 36 on this year's list with $32.4 million in 2010 revenue. Last year, ACAC was recognized in the magazine's Best of the Best contest for its physician referred program. In 2010, the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association presented ACAC owner Phil Wendel with the John McCarthy Industry Visionary of the Year Award for pioneering the development of medical fitness and wellness programs.

Bushkill Outreach got through another winter, its most demanding season, but there's no time for spring fever.
Bushkill Outreach got through another winter, its most demanding season, but there's no time for spring fever.
"We're always busy," said outreach Director Kate Newman whose 50 volunteers continue to serve the public on Route 209 north of the Bushkill Falls intersection and are preparing for the 34th annual Memorial Day Weekend Flea Market on May 25-27 at the Lehman Township Community Park off Winona Falls Road.
Rose Capitelli was making room at the cottage where donated Christmas items are sold from Thanksgiving to Christmas week, with proceeds going to the outreach. "It takes me two months to store everything away," said Capitelli as she was finishing off that storage on April 23.
Donated items for the flea market will be kept there when they are collected at the outreach from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday and May 4.
And Maritza McFaline was going over details with Newman on the first car show held during the flea market at the community park's parking lot from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 25. McFaline has helped organize car shows before and is a member of the Trolley Shop Car Club in Bangor and the Lost in Time Car Club in Marshalls Creek, which has events weekly during the warmer months at Friendly's on Route 209. There are 10 sponsored trophies.
Car owners that enter must pay a $10 fee that goes to the outreach and can call McFaline at 570-851-1199 or pick up a flier that is being distributed around the area.
The flea market is a leading fundraiser for the outreach, which stocks and distributes food to the needy. Newman acknowledges many business and nonprofit sponsors for their help.
There also is a "Stamp Out Hunger" food drive taking place at the East Stroudsburg Post Office in early May. Letter carriers put bags in area post offices the week before they are collected on May 11 and distributed to six Monroe County area food pantries. Last year's food drive collected more than 20,000 pounds (10 tons), with 5,000 pounds going to Bushkill Outreach. The Salvation Army's East Stroudsburg citadel as well as Shawnee Presbyterian and St. Paul's Lutheran churches are recipients.
St. John's Youth Group has volunteered to help pick up food for Bushkill Outreach from the postal drive. Middle Smithfield Presbyterian sent a youth group of 20 members to the outreach recently to help with cleaning the grounds and painting. The Reformed Church of Bushkill will send a group of youngsters for similar work in June.
"The churches really help us out a lot," Newman said, and pointed out that other groups such as Mady's Angels from Middle Smithfield Township and the Lehman Intermediate National Honor Society members also have helped.
Although heating and energy bills rise dramatically in the winter and push financially distressed families to the outreach for help, Newman said she felt "this winter overall was a little better than last year, although some people will disagree. It's leveled off, which is like a breath of fresh air. The need still is there, and people are constantly remembering us and a lot of individuals have been very consistent in helping us."
Saw Creek Estates private community recently held a benefit dinner. Pocono Palace gave a donation. Lehman Township's Board of Supervisors gives annual donations.
Residents can do their part the next two Saturdays by donating clean, usable items they no longer want or need that are not damaged for the flea market. It takes place 9 a.m.-7 p.m. May 25-26 and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. May 27 when people can fill a large trash bag for $5.
In other news, East Stroudsburg University men's basketball senior forward Terrance King of Bushkill ranked 32nd in NCAA Division II in field goal percentage (57.2), which led the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. He was third in the PSAC in blocks per game (1.3), and finished his career ranked 10th in PSAC history with 180 blocks. King, also named to the All-PSAC East first team, ranks eight at ESU in career scoring (1,337) and seventh in rebounding (690). He is also fourth in field goal percentage (56.4). His season ended earlier than King wanted when the Warriors lost in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

Errors in the joke 'Q: How did the illiterate soldier describe the Nazi that fell into a Paris waterway?'
A: Jerry Seine felled
Previously noted issues:
1. What if it wasn't the Seine?
2. Illiteracy generally refers to reading and writing rather than spoken English
3. Didn't have to specifically be a soldier
4. If I'm right in thinking 'How Did' is the name of the soldier,
then the following errors apply:
a)Q (representing 'question') is inaccurate, as the sentence is in fact a statement.
b) 'Did' should have a capital 'D'
c)The question mark at the end is redundant.
d) It should be 'described' rather than 'describe'
e) It's not a joke

In the summer of 2012, I'm back in Sarajevo working with people who are good journalists and after all this time also good friends. My language skills are no better, alas, but I hang out with natives and internationals in the know. So I'm planning in this space to tell Bosnian stories to American readers, with my Bosnian friends free to call me out on errors or wrong headed interpretations. This is a fascinating area of the world and these are interesting times.

President Barack Obama's cousin, eight times removed, Henry Healy, has called on the Irish Government to extend an invitation to the newly election US leader for another official state visit.
Speaking during celebrations in Moneygall, County Offaly, Obama's ancestral home, Healy welcomed Obama's win over the Republican candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday evening.
Healy told the Kildare Nationalist, "We have seen how huge it was for the Irish psyche having him come last year.
"So, while we are on our road to recovery, it would be nice to have a few inspirational words again. Hopefully the Irish Government will again extend an official state visit to the president because he has four more years to plan for this visit back to Ireland."
Similarly Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland Eamon Gilmore told the press on Wednesday morning that he would welcome another visit from the President and greatly enjoyed his visit last May.
Gilmore said, "The economic success of the United States and our own economic success on this side of the Atlantic in Ireland and Europe are very much bound together.
"I certainly, on behalf of the Irish Government, look forward to...the next four years of working with President Obama, working to strengthen the already strong bilateral relations that Ireland has always enjoyed with the United States."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sparked by three lightning touchdown runs by Division III All-America back DeRon Brown, the MIT football team posted its first win of the campaign with a 26-0 decision over visiting UMass Dartmouth in a New England Football Conference (NEFC) Boyd Division battle at rain-soaked Roberts Field on Saturday afternoon. With its first win over the Corsairs in 10 years, MIT posted its first victory under the reign of first-year head coach Chad Martinovich and its first shutout since its blanking of Framingham State in 2003. The Engineers improved to 1-3 overall and 1-1 in the NEFC, while UMass Dartmouth fell to 0-5 on the year and 0-2 in the conference.
Overall, Brown rushed for 267 yards on 31 carries, scoring on runs of 21, 66, and 76yards. Tech took advantage of two Corsairs' fumbles in the first quarter and another miscue in the third frame, when Brian Doyle picked off a pass and scooted 51-yards down the left sideline to make it 19-0 at the time.
The Engineers got on the board after spoiling UMass Dartmouth's opening drive when Aaron Fittery forced the ball loose and Will Gibson recovered at the UMass 20. Brown lost a yard on his first carry, but bolted for 21 to pay-dirt on the ensuing play. Peter Gilliland's extra point boot gave Tech a 7-0 lead.
The Corsairs were in striking distance to tie the game after Joe Luiz surged 47 yards on a return to the MIT 37. Using an assortment of running plays, including an eight-yard QB keeper by Brendan McNeish, the Corsairs made their way to the Tech 15, before they lost the ball again, with MIT recovering at its own 24.
Brown wasted no time in blasting his way through for his 76-yard score, as the Engineers led, 13-0, after the first quarter. On UMass Dartmouth's next possession, the Engineers again knocked the ball loose, with Kristopher Weaver recovering, after the Corsairs got an 18-yard return from Luiz to the Dartmouth 38. The score remained 13-0 at the break.
MIT extended its lead to 19-0 when Doyle intercepted a tipped pass and found the endzone with 9:29 left in the third frame. The Engineers sealed the win on Brown's 66-yard TD run in fourth quarter, the second of which he scored on the first play of a drive.
As a team, MIT rushed for 319 yards and held UMass Dartmouth to 39. In addition to Brown's dominating day, the Engineers got a solid effort from Steve Yablonsiki, who rushed for 30 yards on six carries.
Blake Brown caught three passes for 56 yards for the Corsairs, while George Vasiliadis proved effective in pinning Tech deep in its own territory, with his longest punt, a 50-yarder during a busy day of 10 boots.
Gilliland led Tech's defense with 16 tackles as Gibson tallied 10 of his own. Aaron Fittery posted nine stops while Alex Rubino registered eight tackles, four for a loss of nine yards, and a sack that amounted to a five-yard loss. Patrick Jupe notched eight tackles including two that set UMass Dartmouth back eight yards. Brian Mickle recorded six tackles, two tackles for loss, including a nine-yard sack.
Shawn Manning paced the Corsairs' defensive unit with 14 tackles which featured a nine-yard sack. John Cordasco contributed 10 tackles as John Kelly added seven.

Snow in Bellingham and Elsewhere
The cold front has moved through and cooler air is now spreading over western Washington. Northeasterly winds have pushed through the Fraser River Valley and associated cooler, drier air has made its way into Bellingham and vicinity. Cold enough that snow is occurring at Bellingham Airport. (Look at the attached figure showing observations at Bellingham..time is in UTC (GMT). You can see the change from rain to snow and falling temps as the wind shifted to the NE.
Snow is also falling at Quillayute on the coast. Right now it is still to warm for snow over Puget Sound, but that will change by this evening. A big problem is that the NWS weather radar at Camano Island is down and won't be back up until tomorrow at the earliest...thus, we are somewhat blind to local precipitation details. The KING 5 radar is up and available on their web site.
The million dollar question is lowland snow. The temperatures will be cold enough for snow everywhere by this evening. The only question is moisture. The problem for snow lovers is the things will dry out tomorrow morning after the upper trough over us now noves through. The winds approaching the coast are now southwesterly...leaving much of the central sound rain shadowed right now, with the convergence zone over Whidbey Island into Bellingham (see Canadian radar image). So at this point the focus of snow will be north of Everett...and later as the trough and associated low moves south tomorrow the focus of the snow will be south of Olympia. There could be some snow showers around Seattle, but no more than an inch. And lots of snow in the mountains. The 24-h snow forecast from the high resolution model is attached.
I really wish I had a coastal radar now to see more into a band that is now making landfall.. perhaps in the future.

Cliff, how is it that KING-5 has its own radar? And my husband wants to know why the local FOX affiliate appears to have something out at Neah Bay?
Thanks. Love your work, and you were awesome on KIRO the other night.

Yes...KING-5 bought their own radar...mind you it is not as good as the NWS radar (less power, less resolution, less range)...but it is certainly valuable in times like this. KCPQ has a radar at Neah Bay... a cheapo radar that is often broken, and too far north.

Bellingham hasn't had squat since December, so we were due for something to develop up here. It's definitely a winter wonderland right now.

Really starting to become snowy in Bellingham - WSDOT Camera
- February 25, 2009 at 5:33 PM
If there's two places in Western Washington that don't deserve more snow, it's Bellingham and Everett. No surprise, then, that Bellingham is getting pounded right now. I'm sure Everett's turn will come later on.
- February 25, 2009 at 5:38 PM
Where is this band you are talking about Cliff? Up north, I presume.
- February 25, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Bellingham at 400 ft. We have an easy inch on the deck with lots more coming down. Sticking on the roads a bit too.
Anyone wanna bet on no school tomorrow?

Currently its cloudy on Union Hill in Redmond, maybe a little drizzle/mix. Temperature is around 34* with a dew point of 32*.
Is that a surprise convergence zone I see in our future? Or is that just a thing called hope? :)

It's gorgeous and sticking everywhere here in Bellingham. I went to an indoor soccer game for an hour and came out to three inches of snow on my car. Side roads are white...may have to get the sleds and snowpants back out!! Woo-hoo!!!!

Could this be the Feb. surprise??? Lt. snow started here in SE Auburn around 6pm. Temp dropped from 37 @ 6pm to 33 now @ 6:50pm. Wish SEA radar was up but from looking at PDX radar there is quite a bit of precip. moving up from the SW. Should be a fun night for weatherlovers! Let it snow!!! :)

Snowing in west Olympia!
- February 25, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Is there any chance of snow in the central sound, or will it probably remain blocked by the Olympic mountains? Also, is there any chance of a convergence zone forming?
Thank you.
- February 25, 2009 at 7:23 PM
I predict that Sammamish will wake up to stories of snow everywhere but here. Dang.
- February 25, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Around 8pm near Marysville it snowed a little bit. We are just 100 feet above the water.
- February 25, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Snowing in Enumclaw! Roads are clear but everything is white....my driveway, grass is covered etc....about half an inch.

33 degrees and snowing pretty hard in Olympia. By the high school, there is snow sticking in places but not on the roads yet. Hopefully the roads will freeze some so the snow can stick.
- February 25, 2009 at 8:38 PM
Perhaps with Gary Locke heading Commerce (NOAA overlord), we will finally get radar.
- February 25, 2009 at 9:07 PM
NWS updated their forecast discussion and said that the focus should now start turning to central and south sound as the area '"starts to fill in".
You know what I wish?
I wish this band of precip., or whatever, lasts all night and then we get a good convergence zone going in the morning.
Ha, who am I kidding? ;)

Like most of these "snow blips", we might get 1 - 2 inches tops...and it will melt by the next day.
Typical late winter snow in Washington IMHO.

Bothell 300 feet -- light snow just started, but it looks like it could pick up and actually cover the ground. We'll see.
Kind of unbelievable really.

It's 32 at 400 feet in West Seattle. Looks like a good band of snow should develop over the central sound sometime tonight according to NWS and a reliable friend who is a meteorologist. May to see 1 to 2 inches out of this. Keep your hopes up!

Snowing on Union Hill ('600) in Redmond finally!
Big, wet flakes that are sticking to everything-even the roads.
Hope we can all wake up to lots of snow in the morning! What a surprise it would be! :)
Good night.

Just started snowing and 32 deg. F here at Vaughn Bay, Key Peninsula, Pierce County. Like little ball bearings.

I know that everyone is focusing on the possible snow event for the Greater Seattle Area, but it`s interesting to watch the advance of the Arctic air in Eastern Washington. It is south of Omak, but whether it stalls or makes it past Wenatchee-Moses Lake-Spokane is in question. Should be a significant snow event along the boundary, wherever it ends up.
On a lighter note, regarding the (current lack of) radar: If we can`t get full funding for a WSR-88D, maybe we can scrape together enough to buy an used mobile unit from one of the storm chaser outfits in Oklahoma.We can staff it with grad students(they work cheap) and drive the truck to where it`s most needed during times like this! :)

Just started watching the English Dub of Index S1.
Everyone sounds awesome so far except Kuroko.
Touma doesn't have his trademark lines anymore, and it's awesome to me!
- "Fukou da" ~ "Just my rotten luck!"
- IDTI ~ translated into something else more awesome
Monica Rial's rendition of Index sounds so much cuter (but more annoying) than Yuka Iguchi's rendition!
Mikoto sounds strange because she sounds like a bratty teenager, but it fits because she IS a bratty teenager.
English!Kuroko, are you sure you're not just reading lines? You don't even sound like you're lusting for your "sissy". And poor choice of words, anyway. "My lady" is so much better.
Komoe-sensei sounds much better here, she doesn't sound like a kid like in the original Japanese dub.
I heard Accelerator once, and it's a mixed bag. It's either his English version sucks or Okamoto-san is just that good.
I'm on Episode 5 right now, I really can't wait to hear Last Order right now.

Stiyl and Kanzaki have no accents? Don't sweat it. She's Japanese, and he's speaking Japanese in the original Japanese dub, anyway. But he does sound like a Briton with an American accent in the dub IMO.
But I do agree, it could have been better if everyone not Japanese have accents.

It sure is strange hearing the Misaka clones' speech syntax in English. They could have made the clones (except LO) more robotic, but they are CLONES, not robots. Besides that, I couldn't say anything else about the clones in the dub.
I think LO has it worse here, but I'll wait and see.

What is this? English LO doesn't sound like a kid! She sounds too mature. But that's what you get if the same person voices all the Misaka clones.
And also, all the clones in English have a mysterious quirk...

i was always curious to why western reviewers always trash this series to dirt unlike the japanese bloggers who seem to be respectful about this series, well none of the less it does have a massive fanbase and plenty of popular and likable characters so i guess i don't really mind since both japan and westerners have different taste in anime and characters.

you should search around the internet a bit and i mean seriously does touma and index get bashed allot with the western reviewers including the series itself and even railgun which is nicknamed "FAILGUN" tends to get trash as well along with mikoto and especially kuroko by calling it a moeblob series. some reviewers nicknamed kamijou spikey-kun for some strange reason as well.

i wouldn't say its a moeblob series because in my opinion it can go real down and dirty when their serious and even index series itself has its flaws don't ignore that as well but anyways these are just western reviewers bashing it. i notice japanese fans and other bloggers don't seem to hate it though its understandable seeing its massive fanbase there for both series and even jso6 seems to love touma though some fans believe its yuri love.

Well, first and foremost, Touma has an interesting yet incredibly bland power which is more often prone to plot armor abuse. Of course, that goes without saying that Kamachi did an incredible job of using Touma's power to win battles for Touma without making the reader feel the wins are forced.
At the risk of opening a can of worms here, but those who bash Touma for having so-called "plot armor" simply don't understand what the phrase "plot armor" really means. His opponents are miles more powerful than he is, so he shouldn't be able to win, right? Not exactly, because his early opponents relied too much on their powers that they keep using it even when it's VERY clear to them that their powers won't work on him.
If they have actually wisened up right from the start and actually tried to hurt Touma indirectly (by using their powers to create chain reactions Touma cannot block with his IB, and definitely NOT by bringing guns like GREMLIN did), Touma would never stand a chance, and the story would end too quickly.
So you ask, "so why don't these mages just bring guns and shoot Touma right away?"
Simple answer: They simply don't know what ability Touma has.
But now that more mages know about Touma's IB, they have wisened up and brought some conventional weaponry with them. So the strongest power you can have against Touma is not raw power, but INFORMATION. The difference between victory and defeat is knowledge of your opponent's abilities and weaknesses.
And besides, it's a bit of fresh air to see a main character with a purely defensive ability than a versatile offensive ability. I mean, 90% of action MCs have offensive-oriented powers, but can be used defensively at a higher skill level.
You know what plot armor is? When the character suddenly becomes stronger and easily defeats an opponent who has trained for more than twice that character's age, and so hard work hardly works. THAT is plot armor.
As for Mikoto, while she has the usual lightning abilities like more than half of action characters, at least she can do so many things with her lightning powers. She is nicknamed the Electric Spidergirl for a reason.

i would say touma power quite decent not the worst i mean there are other painful abilities to watch when in fights in other anime and i have to admit adding precog(MIND EYE) helps make it even more entertaining. fans believe touma also has PIS and CIS but to be honest he uses fear as a weapon against them because touma is like a fighting machine, some kind of devil in their eyes who came from hell that can withstand and cancel any attacks given from him and even the most terrifying magicians are afraid of kamijou and the number 1 esper himself "accelerator". whats great about kamijou is that hes not overpowered but tacticful which is why he became famous with the majority of RAILDEX fanbase who love him(though he became a success mainly because hes one of the "rare" if not the first MC to actually hit a girl) but we can't ignore his haters either since well.... they choose to deny touma winnings as rather plot armor then strategic movies.

The past couple years have been a real bitch for trauma nurse, Lucas Harris. He'd given up everything to be in a relationship with a man he loved, only to find out the feelings weren't mutual. Hurt and betrayed, Lucas leaves everything behind and moves to Flint, Michigan to start over again. After a night of too many drinks, Lucas gets up-close-and-personal with paramedic Matt Shaw. The only problem is while Matt may be the sexiest medic in Flint, he's also as straight as they come. The last thing Lucas wants is to be someone's dirty little secret again, but at the same time he can't deny his growing attraction to Matt. When a near fatal incident forces the men to face their feelings for one another, Lucas knows things will never be the same again. Will his heart be able to survive the outcome?

Blake Shelton Reveals His Strategy for Season Two of 'The Voice'
It feels like only yesterday that Blake Shelton's charge Dia Frampton was the runner up on the debut season of 'The Voice.' Well, season two is upon us, and Shelton is already raring to go and plotting his methods for another round. Shelton revealed that he will retain last season's strategy of picking the singers with the most unique and different voices for his team. Obviously, Shelton has no interest in cultivating a poker face during the audition round.
"I am picking polarizing voices," Shelton reveals to The Boot. "That really worked out well for me last time around. There were a lot of great singers on that show, but there was only one Dia and one Xenia. They are so different from any other voices you ever hear. That's what the show means to me."
Shelton, who serves as a coach and a mentor to each singer on his team, thinks this season will be an improvement from last year, which was by no means a flop. In fact, it was a huge ratings hit. He thinks his show stands out from other reality talent competitions because of the way it's structured.
"That's the cool thing about having artists be the coaches — we all have a different vision for what 'The Voice' is," he theorizes. "I think it will become even more dynamic this year, as far as how different each one of our teams are. Now we know what we're looking for and how to go about the game we play."
The second season of 'The Voice' will premiere on Feb. 5 on NBC, immediately following the Super Bowl.

A hero's welcome ... and a special surprise
Waterford - It was on this very piece of real estate, the front stretch of Waterford Speedbowl, where Steve Barrett of Preston decided to re-enlist in the Army three years ago, an opening ceremony that incorporated the passions of Barrett's life: the military and auto racing.
And then in another illustration of how all the times and moments in your life eventually come around again, perhaps to form a balance, perhaps to illustrate that life imparts answers at its own pace, Steve Barrett was back again Saturday night, back from Afghanistan, the unwitting star of an opening ceremony that left not a dry eye.
Barrett thought he was there to deliver the Pledge of Allegiance and perhaps receive a welcome back and a thank you for his service.
What Steve Barrett learned was that very best of humanity can manifest itself in a chassis, engine, transmission, tires and rear end.
Barrett wrecked his car beyond repair during an accident at the Speedbowl in late April of 2012. He didn't compete again before his unit, National Guard's 1109th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group from Groton, was called to active duty in June and deployed to Afghanistan in July.
All that time overseas as a technical inspector for helicopter blades and sheet metal at Bagram Air Base, Barrett thought his car was in the same condition. He said he even bought a remote control car over there just to, you know, keep hope alive.
Barrett believed his car was still wrecked Saturday night.
Until he saw it.
His friend Jeff Winsor was driving it.
It emerged from the shadows and suddenly - beautifully, magically - appeared right there on the front stretch, this now mythical piece of pavement in his life.
The car was brand new.
Just completed earlier this week.
Steve Barrett, hero, man of few words, mouthed an "oh sh--" before he wept.
And so did everyone else.
It was called "Racers for a Soldier," the brainchild of a small group of the Speedbowl family, dedicated to rebuilding Barrett's car in appreciation for his commitment to protect our freedom. Fifteen hundred man hours later, numerous raffles, fundraisers and spaghetti dinners later, a nickel here, a dime there, people giving what they could in the everlasting spirit of community, a hero was rewarded.
"I thought it was the right thing to do," Winsor said. "Steve's a good guy. I'm a former military person myself. Plus, I know what it takes to build one of these things."
Winsor, who owns a lettering shop in Moosup and is an auto body technician by trade, joined four other men - The Fab Five, they were called Saturday - who worked every Thursday and Sunday rebuilding the car from a bare, straight frame. The Fab Five: Winsor, Pete Pollard of Old Lyme, Bob Desrochers of Plainfield, Jim Phillips of Plainfield and Steve McKee of Norwich.
They made the simple concept of "thank you for your service" into something practical and enduring.
"Jeff approached me about the idea and I said 'let me think about it,'" Teresa Barrett, Steve's wife and a track steward, said Saturday night, her face still aglow. "I wasn't sure we could pull it off. I went back an hour later and said, 'why not try?'"
And to think that maybe the hardest part wasn't even reconstructing the car. It was keeping the secret. They had to block Barrett from the "Racers For a Soldier" Facebook page. Barrett did notice, however, that his motor and transmission went missing.
"I said, in trying to be really good wife, that I sent it to our motor builder to be refreshed so it would be ready when he rebuilt his car," Teresa Barrett said. "He bought it. I can't believe it."
Steve Barrett was never really sure what to say. He was still shaking as he posed for pictures with the scores of people who made it possible.
But when it came time to jump into the car …
Steve Barrett, home again, was really home again.
"I'm literally blown away by it all," Teresa Barrett said. "I've always said the racing community is a family. To me, this absolutely proves it."
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

Carli Suspension 2003-2008 Dodge Ram Extreme Duty AAM Front Axle Upgrade - Bombproof Ball JointsPosted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on February 1, 2009
When we immerse ourselves in this never-ending cycle of modifying trucks, we sometimes forget the basic concept that for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction. While many of the parts and components we bolt, weld, or hang onto our vehicles improve them for our intended uses, from time to time these add-ons uncover a vehicle's weak links.
The crew at Carli Suspension is tough on their late-model Dodges. After needing to replace the stock upper ball joints for the fifth time after a wheeling outing, they said "enough is enough" and threw themselves into some serious R&D to find a way to keep the front end of their 3/4-ton alive for longer. As a result of this research, they found that they were not alone: The upper ball joints in the '03-'08 Dodge Ram 3/4- and 1-ton 4x4s seemed to be a common problem and a factory weak link among heavy Mopar wheelers.
After spending more than a year brutally testing and accumulating thousands of miles, Carli Suspension unveiled its Extreme Duty upper ball-joint set for the '03-'08 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4x4s. Comprised of heat-treated 4130 chromoly and doused with a specifically formulated dry lube coating, the massive factory replacement ball joint is designed to withstand the increased pressure and forces induced by larger tire-and-wheel packages along with heavy off-roading. Lubed with Redline synthetic grease, the Carli ball joints are an easy way to upgrade your Dodge Ram's AAM front axle and can be knocked out in your driveway or by a knowledgeable tech in about two hours. These joints are an easy and smart upgrade intended to keep your truck on the trail and save you some serious time and money.
1. To save time-and since the steering knuckle needs to be detached-we removed the four bolts that connect the unit bearing to the knuckle, then slid it out as one unit with the axleshafts attached. The overall breakdown takes less than an hour per side and can be done in your driveway using a floor jack, jackstands, and tools every automotive enthusiast usually has.

one misconception omnis tend to have about vegans is that we must eat dirt & cardboard. couldn't be further from the truth. i eat tons of different kinds of veggies and have found my horizons broadened by eliminating all animal products from my diet. one might believe that makes eating a pain in the ass (now you know how the blog earned its name), but its only bothersome if you enjoy eating garbage.
i won't lie: i loved fast food for a long time. it was a sid and nancy relationship--we used each other, i ate, felt like crap, and would swear off the #6 combo from wendy's. i read fast food nation, and some of that changed. i still ate meat. but enough of my pregan days. if you're truly curious, you can read all about that here or here. sure i eat my share of fried food, but i know who is making it--me!
the photo above is the bounty i'm able to obtain from my local food bank- mother hubbard's cupboard. it's a humbling feeling to publicly admit i need to use this service to provide healthy meals for my family. if you are a family that needs assistance and you don't qualify for food stamps or WIC, i beg of you to seek out (or start!) your own service that provides food for those in need. the pantry is set up to help many people in between situations or working class families that can't afford to adequately feed their families after paying bills. thursdays are made priority for pregnant and breastfeeding women, so i go on that day. if it weren't for MHC, we would eat a lot of pb&j or pasta. that's why it means so much to me that y'all visit this blog. every click earns me some change that i end up donating to the pantry. all people deserve to eat well, and fine dining shouldn't be the stuff of privilege, but in this country it is. the american meal has become bastardized, and most residents of this country believe a meal consists of a sandwich, fries, and pop. rarely do we eat together as a family anymore. balsamic sauteed peppers, onions, mushrooms served with tofurky sausage and broccoli
pita halves stuffed with dr. praeger's veggie burgers*-(probably the BEST store bought vegan burger on the market-no one paid me to say this), made with REAL VEGGIES that you can actually see!, rice vegan cheeze, hydro tomato, pickles, onion, and veganaise. served with a side of jerk roasted asparagus and broccoli slaw.
*=wait for a coupon or sale!
i know this isn't the prettiest food pic, but it was damned tasty: dal over rice in the background sits quietly while a big mess o' steamed mustard greens is topped with a wild yam and pine nut saute. wowza!
enjoy those veggies, check out your local food bank, start your own if your town needs one, and for the love of rutabagas--stay vegan!
