King of the Cowboys
In the days when movies were silent and the Twenties roared, Tom Mix was a movie star. Not just any movie star in the days when John Wayne, Roy Rogers, and Gene Autry were little boys, Thomas Edwin Mix was the most popular cowboy movie star in the world. It was on a September Saturday some seventy-five years ago when Tom Mix came to Dublin and the people of Dublin saw their cowboy hero up close and in person.
Tom Mix began his movie career in 1910 at the age of thirty. Over the next quarter of a century, Mix was reported to have appeared in more than 330 movies. All but a handful of those movies were talking pictures. At the height of his silent movie career, Mix was appearing in more than fifteen movies every year. As his career in motion pictures began to wane, Mix launched a transcontinental tour in what was billed as the largest motorized circus in the world.
The four-million-dollar circus began its tour in Compton, California and featured the new and improved 150-foot round top. The equipment and animals were transported by night convoys of no less than sixty new semi trucks with beautifully painted red, white, and blue trailers. The walls, marquee, and curtains were striped in red and white.
After performances in Athens and Macon, the three-ring circus arrived just before daylight in Dublin on the morning of September 26, 1936. The event was held on the old 12th District Fairgrounds at the corner of Telfair Street and Troup Street. Crowds gathered around the fairgrounds in the early morning to witness the erection of the circus city, a show in of itself. A matinee performance took place at 2:00 followed the grand finale during the evening show at 8:00.
The Tom Mix Circus followed right on the heels of its main motorized circus competitor, the Downie Brothers - Sparks Circus, which came to the old fairgrounds the week before. The Downie Brothers hired Jack Hoxie, a silent movie cowboy movie veteran, to compete with the vastly more popular, Tom Mix. The Downie circus was much smaller, but drew good crowds wherever it went, even during the dark days of the Great Depression.
Nearly one hundred and fifty horses and ponies were used in the show. To make it a well-rounded circus, Mix gathered monkeys, baboons, lions, deer, and dogs along with three elephants and a zebra for his circus, which employed more than 500 performers, including sixty aerialists, sixty riders, and two hundred stars on the floor of the arena.
In addition to Mix, the star of the show, the audience was thrilled by acrobatic performers, the Flying Arbaughs and Erma Ward, "The Queen of the Air." The fabulous Riding Hobsons and Max Gruber's Jungle Oddities rounded out the show. The Arbaughs teamed with Ward Codona Troup to form the largest flying acrobatic show ever performed.
Mix personally led the Parade of the Royal Mounted consisting of more than eighty mounted riders. A Courier Herald writer reported, "Mix was very gracious about signing autographs for juvenile fans crowded about shyly extending autograph books." Always by his side was Mix's horse and a crowd favorite, Tony, Jr. - the first Tony having died years before.
Homer Hobson, Helen Ford and Joe Bowers opened the show with an amusing performance of trained dogs and monkeys. Along with a requisite corps of circus clowns, the show featured twenty girls performing on swinging ladders. Next came more female performers, Del Herberto, Mlle Lorenzo, and Ella Davenport and a company of Lady polo riders led by Helen Ford and Company. Charles Arley, who performed a head balancing act on a revolving trapeze, and Les Cotelettis Troupe of comedic acrobats had the crowed laughing out loud.
The main center ring event followed with Tom Mix's company of cowboys and horses. Mix demonstrated his riding and marksmanship skills by riding and firing at moving targets. He climaxed the performance by lying flat on his back and shooting light bulbs in a dome over his head.
Erma Ward
Other billed acts included Rhoda Royal's Liberty Horses, trapeze artists, Karise Turner and her flying ballet, Johnny Jordan, Albert Powell, and George Arely and the Bell-Jordan-Marks Troupe.
Among the more well known sideshow acts was Schlitzie, "The Pinhead." Schlitzie was born with a neurodevelopmental disorder which caused him to have an unusually small brain and a height of four feet. Schliztie Surtees starred in the 1932 cult film Freaks and was a long time circus side show freak with Barnum and Bailey.
Schliztie, The Pinhead
After the last performer left the ring and the workers began sweeping the pop corn and peanuts from the abandoned grandstands, several local miscreants got themselves into an affray with a circus employee. Three men got into an argument with side show workers over money. Dublin police pulled out their bud nippers and broke up the ruckus, but one of the men went back and retrieved his gun. Enlisting the aid of two conspirators, the unnamed man confronted the circus employees, cutting one of them in the throat while others fired their guns, none of which struck their targets. The three young men were arrested, but when circus employees failed to show for a 9:00 a.m. court appearance, the charges were dropped.
Within four years, Tom Mix's iconic career would come to a tragic end. After visiting with the Pima County, Arizona sheriff, Nix stopped in at the Oracle Junction Inn. Mix went on his way after talking by phone with his agent. Mix, reportedly driving at nearly 80 mph through the desert, swerved to avoid hitting a construction barrier which blocked a washed out gully. A large aluminum suitcase, which contained money, travelers' checks, and jewels, was catapulted forward from the rear of Mix's car and struck him in the back of his head, smashing his skull. In an instant, the man who was shot at by the bad guys and always survived was killed by his own suitcase.
It wasn't exactly Barnum and Bailey and The Greatest Show on Earth. But, it was on that thrilling early autumn day when a troupe of circus performers gave us a show of a lifetime and the King of The Cowboys came to town.

Acoustic Reality is a Danish company that sells speakers, amplifiers, storage devices, cables, and other products to build top-shelf home entertainment centers. It recently released eAR OS Free Edition, a free media center system built on top of Ubuntu that features a free version of the Acoustic Reality software technology used in the $100 eAR RT-OS Enterprise Edition and in the company's hardware Media 4 products. It provides a user-friendly media center along with a nice implementation of Ubuntu.
eAR OS is an installable live CD. The boot options are similar to those of Ubuntu 8.04 and the installer is exactly the same. The only problem I noted with the installer was with user setup, which didn't actually add my user. The eAR desktop uses the "earmusic" user, with the password "earmusic."
I had high expectations for the Media Center, since it is the focus and purpose of this distribution. It opens full-screen with a list of multimedia tasks available, including Listen to Favorites, TV, DVD, Video, Music, Radio, Photo, and More. The menu list is navigable with the arrow keys or by using the mouse. If you'd like to access the regular desktop without shutting down the Media Center, you can use the Ctrl-Alt-Arrow key combination to change to another virtual desktop.
But you may not have to shut down the Media Center or arrow to another desktop, because under the More heading is a menu of commonly used applications that can be launched right from the Media Center. Key portions of the desktop will show as well, such as the panel and Simdock docking bar. This is handy in expanding the functionality of the interface, particularly on a computer that has been dedicated to being a home theater machine, where one would might prefer to leave the Media Center visible at all times. Some of the applications available include Firefox, OpenOffice.org, Pidgin, GIMP, Skype, and the GNOME Control Center.
The Listen to Favorites choice displays your personal playlist. It ships with a few examples, but you can add online radio stations, digital broadcast channels, on-disk music or videos, or music CD tracks to your Favorites. Depress the "p" key to access the list of Playlist Commands.
TV is for watching Digital Video Broadcasts using Kaffeine. That application must be able to detect and configure your TV card. I would like to see support for BTTV broadcast tuner cards included. I could use xawtv since Kaffeine doesn't support analog cards, but it's inconvenient and disappointing that this functionality isn't integrated into the eAR Media Center. As a compromise I was able to make a launcher in the eAR-More directory for xawtv so that it would appear in the More screen menu, but my family found it confusing to watch television through the More menu instead of the TV. Another alternative is to connect to a traditional television set (through S-Video or VGA-out for example), but that would require flipping the video input on the TV to watch, which is far from an integrated solution.
DVD is, obviously, for watching DVDs, and this choice too uses Kaffeine. Encrypted DVDs are no problem. The "d" key brings up the DVD menu, which gives access to other features available on a DVD. "s" controls subtitles, "f" raises the volume, "l" lowers the volume, and the space bar pauses and resumes a movie. The arrow keys fast-forward or go back in the video.
The Video menu lets you watch videos on your hard drive. Clicking it brings up a screen with several listed folders. Files should be stored in the subdirectories of /home/earmusic/eAR-Video, as there doesn't appear to be any way to add additional directories. All of the formats I tested (AVI, MPEG, and MPEG-4) played without issue.
Like Video, Music opens a screen of folders where your music should be stored. Also like Video, the files are stored in the /home/earmusic directory, and I didn't find a way to utilize directories of music stored elsewhere. You can listen to audio CDs too. While at the main screen with Music highlighted, if you use the right arrow key or move your mouse rightward, the entry will change to Listen to CD. If you choose that, Soundjuicer opens to play or extract the tracks.
Radio is for listening to Internet radio stations. eAR OS comes with an amazingly comprehensive list of stations to use, which is nice as I didn't see an easy way to add others.
Photo is for viewing a directory of images. As with Video and Music, images are stored in a hard-coded directory, specifically /home/earmusic/eAR-Photos.
The eAR Media Center is extremely easy to use. Although it didn't quite meet all my expectations, it provides extensive multimedia functionality. It looks great and was stable during my rigorous testing. I can forgive it for not supporting older analog TV cards, as they're at the threshold of antiquity and my workaround has sufficed. It comes with so many radio stations configured that everyone's tastes are likely be addressed. The only significant complaint is the hard-coded storage directories. I'd really like to be able to add my own storage directories to the choices.
OS infrastructure
Perhaps much of eAR Media Center's solid performance can be attributed to the underlying Ubuntu code-base.
The desktop is built using GNOME 2.22.2 and features SimDock 1.2. SimDock has several launchers, including ones for Firefox, F-Spot, the GIMP, and the eAR Media Center. The panel is set up with some handy applets such as Disk Mounter, Weather Report, Update Manager, Network Manager, Trash, and a Volume applet.
The menu contains a few standalone applications, including Wine, GIMP 2.4.5, Audacity, Sound Juicer, K3b, Kaffeine, Exaile, and VLC media player. For online activities Firefox 184.108.40.206 (with support for Web-based multimedia), Thunderbird, and Pidgin are available.
Under System -> Preferences you will find the GNOME Control Center, Screen Resolution, and Sound configuration, while present under Administration are the PolicyKit graphical configuration, Firestarter, Restricted Drivers, and Language and Network tools.
Like Ubuntu, eAR OS uses APT with Synaptic for package management. It comes set up with Ubuntu, Medibuntu, and WineHQ repositories. eAR OS uses codecs and libraries from the Medibuntu project to enable multimedia playback support that may be excluded from Ubuntu.
eAR OS features a real-time 2.6.24-17 kernel compiled with GCC 4.2.3. It functioned well on my Hewlett-Packard Pavilion notebook, as well as on two home-built desktops. The graphics are served by Xorg 1.4.1/7.3.0. The screen started in 1024x768 on the laptop, but I used the Screen Resolution module to adjust it to 1280x800, and I was able to easily install proprietary drivers using the Hardware Drivers module. Sound worked out-of-the-box and my volume and mute keys functioned. My keyboard and touchpad worked accurately and responsively. Removable media was auto-mounted if appropriate and associated applications opened. The wired Internet connection was enabled automatically if a cable was present.
Even better than that, with the Ethernet cable removed, my wireless connection was available as well. Although the Hardware Drivers module indicates that a proprietary driver is in use, it ships with eAR OS so I didn't have to have an Internet connection present to get my wireless Internet connection working. CPU Scaling was enabled by default, decreasing heat and saving energy. A battery monitor appeared in the panel when the electrical supply was removed. Suspend worked fine, but I did have issues with hibernate. Although eAR OS is designed to be a home theater system, it could be used as a mobile system if desired.
Closing thoughts
The eAR OS Web site has some Frequently Asked Questions with a few tips, and a README file on the desktop of a new install contains more instructions and information. You can install updates to the Media Center instead of downloading a new ISO for each release. An Enterprise Edition is available that offers added features such as support for IEEE 1394 FireWire audio and remote controllers.
Although I encountered a few issues that I didn't like, overall I had a positive experience using eAR OS. The desktop implementation is attractive, and the Simdock adds a touch of cool. The Media Center also sports an attractive appearance and includes useful functionality. It's not quite as inclusive as MythTV, but in contrast to MythTV it doesn't require complicated configuration to use. It would be ideal for a standalone dedicated home theater computer, especially if you have a DVB card.
If you're looking for an easy-to-use system for your home theatre PC or would just like a pretty media center for your current computer, then eAR OS is a worthy candidate. I'm going to continue using it for awhile myself.

Jamaica wins Judges Award at FIRST LEGO League
On a cold and rainy day in San Jose, Jamaica and the Caribbean's sole representative at the Northern California FIRST LEGO League arrived to compete with the top 64 teams in the state. After 3 rounds of robot missions in the morning segment, their highest score of 117 was not sufficient to rank. Dejected and disappointed, they did not know that destiny had other plans for them to make their mark.....make their loved ones and one love country, proud, and find greater pride in themselves and their lives.
For the other participants, a team from Jamaica was a sweet novelty and many came over to greet them. A Jamaica national living in San Francisco, read about the team on the Internet and took time out to come and see them.....and even took a picture of them to take back as a memory. More than they realized, they were already being celebrated.
In the afternoon, the team re-spirited to face the judging of their research presentation, robot design and teamwork ability. And so even as the weather remained cold, these 7 innercity kids from Jamaica warmed the hearts of the judges with their passion and song, about their lives and the robotics programme in their community.
As we sat patiently awaiting the awards ceremony, one of the organizers asked me to introduce "the team from Jamaica". I introduced them as some of "the pioneers of robotics" in Jamaica and to the rousing applause of an gynasium filled with almost 2000 people, the kids stood and took their honours, in what I thought would have been their greatest triumph on that day.
After announcing the awards for some 15 teams, they reached to the special Judges Awards. Not only are these awards only available at some tournaments, but they are also optional. Additionally, out-of-state teams are not normally eligible for awards at an out-of-state tournament as these are reserved for teams from within the state. We were out-of-country.
The announcer begins to speak of award that was unanimous among the judges. One that they all got behind and said, "this the team should get it". An award for the team that "came the furthest and overcame the most obstacles to be at this competition......Halls of Learning LEGO Yuh Mind from Kingston, Jamaica!". It was our proudest moment yet.
Such is the spirit of the FIRST LEGO League, 3 months from now they will forget what the robot did....but they will always remember the experience.Thank you Scotiabank.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Mick K.
Thursday, August 22, 2013
By: Mick Kirby
My story started on April 3rd 2007, when I suffered a severe cerebral haemorrhage stroke whilst driving.
Luckily I had managed to pull up outside a friend's house, and was put into an ambulance within 30 minutes. My friend was told by the ambulance man, that things not look good, and that I may not make it to hospital. In hospital my partner was told to gather the family, as I was not expected to last more than 24 hours.
I cannot recall the first two days, but I received my first trip to physio after about five days, where they tried to get me to stand. It was hell. After two weeks I was transferred to a specialist rehab unit in Shoreham, where progress was slowly made.
Initially I had lost the use of all of the left hand side of my body, and my speech was very bad. The physio's at Shoreham were fantastic, after six weeks I was discharged. I had vowed to "walk off "the ward and "walk "I did. Aided by a leg support and tripod frame.
I received minimal physio at home, which unfortunately I found to be more negative than positive. I was eventually allowed to join a local gym, where I say my slow recovery was helped. By now I could walk aided with only a stick, but the arm and hand were of no use.
About 4 years ago, I was introduced through a neighbour to a guy who was tetraplegic, but was involved in normal sports and activities. My reaction was, if he can do it, so can I! I contacted sport ability and was put on their contact list.
My first outing with them was kayaking, I arrived there, and my first thoughts were, "what am I doing here! I can't do this! "
How wrong was I!
The same thoughts came when I tied different activities, including sailing, quad biking, archery, water skiing, gliding, micro lighting and clay shooting.
Clay shooting was something I had no done for 30 years, "what I am doing here!" was again my thought. Again how wrong was I!
After an enjoyable day, the road was set for the future, I had further lessons locally to help me, I also joined a local club.
With their help, and the help of some shooting friends, my skills improved. I then joined the disabled shooters group and also the disabled clay target shooting group. These groups have introduced me to travelling to shoots, all over the country and shooting with other disabled people.
Shooting has become a big part of my life, and has helped me greatly with my mental and physical improvement.
Over the last 18 months I have won 6 trophies, against able bodied competitors, and enter my first national competition next week. In two weeks I travel to Italy to be part of a disabled squad, shooting in an international, with the I.P.C. as clay shooting is hopefully to be included in the future Paralympics.
I have gained my safety officer certification, and aim to become the southern coordinator for the disabled clay target shooting GB group.
In the Autumn I shall be doing the first stage of my instructor's course, as my ambition now is to become an instructor for disabled shooting, to hopefully encourage others to get the enjoyment out of sport that I do.
The Paralympics??! Let's wait and see!!

Southern Constitutional Patriot, Common Law Activist, and former Statutory Grand Jury Foreman Terry George Trussell was found guilty of five of fourteen counts today by a Jury in Dixie County, Florida, and taken immediately into custody.
As much as needs to be said about this event, a full legal discussion will have to wait for another day except for gross generalities and some random surrounding peculiarities and idiosyncratic events.
Suffice it to say, about the prosecution, that it was 100% a political show trial, initiated of the prosecutors, by the prosecutors, and for the prosectors designed to maximize their power as agents of "Big Brother" to control the legal system, in particular the so-called "criminal justice system" in the United States, against any and all claims of right by the people to have a say in social control through law.
As a curious but extremely significant aside (actually a complete "side show"), the trial was closely watched and broadcast by one of the nastiest bunch of lying Communist Sympathizing cluster of hateful sneering legal elitist bloggers in the whole USA, namely the Fogbow, which was cheering and cackling like a bunch of witches and warlock trolls for Terry's conviction.
I have been a particular target for the Fogbow crew of anonymous Goblins since 2009 when I participated in and supported the legal challenges to Barack Hussein Obama's accursedly fraudulent candidacy and election to the highest "constitutional" office in the United Staes, perhaps the world.
This group of bloggers (mostly establishment lawyers) claims that their noble purpose is to highlight truth and expose lies and deception in the "birther" movement, although they have moved on to attack so-called "Sovereign Citizens" and other constitutional grass roots activists who oppose the centralized state and governmental monopoly on legal process and thought.
Although ostensibly organized to ridicule Orly Taitz and her role in the "Birther" Movement, in effect the group has served to keep a spotlight of attention on her activities which long since faded from the first, second, or even third page of news reports, and to criticize and attack all those around her.
For a while in 2009-2010, I was very much "around Orly" and I tried to assist her and inform and shape her legal crusade. The professional side of my relationship with this Dentist-Lawyer-Real Estate Agent-Tai Kwon Do expert was fraught with constant conflict and argument over strategy, although she used some of my writings and took some of my advice.
Orly needed followers and she needed sensation, and she hated caution and careful reflection and would have no part of legal research…. this was strange in a lawyer trying to lead what needed to be the most sophisticated legal challenge against a sitting President in world history.
But Orly's need to make radical statements which her uneducated followers could cheer was paramount to anything else, and so in one episode in Georgia, she insisted on disrespectfully challenging the authority of a Federal Judge, and calling him a traitor.
Fogbow founding member "Sterngard Friegen" has been particularly hateful towards me for 7 full years now, and in this latest go round about the Terry Trussell trial, he accused me of taking advantage of Orly Taitz' naivetee and forcing her to file sanctionable documents WHICH I HAD ACTUALLY FOUGHT WITH ORLY TO PREVENT HER FROM FILING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AFTER LONG NIGHT.
It seemed strange to me that he has always been so obsessed with me and so interested in defending Orly while ostensibly being her greatest critic…. how strange…. Anyhow, I had for a very long time now suspected it was all a show and a fraud, and apparently I was finally vindicated.
Terry's lawyer Inger Michelle Garcia reported back to me today that Orly was IN CROSS CITY, DIXIE COUNTY, without ever having articulated any interest in Terry's trial, and that she had revealed herself as one of, if not the primary force behind the Fogbow, as I have suspected from the very beginning.
Ah, the sweet taste of VINDICATIO! Orly was not the "Queen" but rather the Court Jester, the "Clown Princess" of the Constitutional Eligibility Movement, aka "the Birthers" for the purpose of making the Constitutional Challenge to Obama's presidency as humiliatingly stupid and ridiculous as could be…. and in this case, Orly's strategy, performance, and tactics were all brilliantly successful, and the coincidence of her involvement with the Fogbozers in Dixie County is proof positive of this bizarre but brilliant conspiracy of ridicule and comedy as political attack and disruption.
I am infinitely grateful to my freshman Anthropology professor Victoria Reifler Bricker for introducing me to the importance of ridicule in social control (her doctoral dissertation at Harvard concerned "Ritual Humor" as subversive political dialogue among the Maya of Chiapas under Spanish Occupation).
From my beginnings studying at Vicky's brilliant footsteps in New Orleans, I learned later from Sally Falk Moore, Clifford Geertz, Marshall Sahlins, and Valerio Valeri about ritual performances as "reifying" historical myths and "enactments" which prove and confirm stereotypical theories about human behavior which effectively become enactments and pronouncements of law.
I now realize more than ever the importance of so deconstructing the rituals of the modern courts, and modern propagandists like the Fogbozers, to revealing the truth about political process, and to make people free from illusion and free from the deception that such ritualized enactments create.
The manipulative deceptions attempted and in fact achieved by the Fogbow perfectly exemplify the Cultural Marxist methods of Saul Alinsky and others. These methods must be exposed and, to the extent possible, attacked and dismantled. It is just sad to think that techniques originally evolved for the degenerates in the big cities have filtered down all the way to poor little Cross City in Dixie County, the least populous and most isolated of all of Florida's 68 counties…

We're putting more gels, dyes, herbs and general gunk in our hair than ever before. But, in fact, there's something beautiful about simplicity.
"People say they have bad hair, and they need to do a lot to it," says Dr. Zoe Draelos, a consulting professor of dermatology at Duke University and a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. "The opposite is true. The less you handle your hair, the better."
Let's take a look at the basics. Each hair is a strand of dead cells coated in natural oils and the dirt that you pick up throughout the day. Remember: We're talking about one of your better features here.
A lot of the thanks, or blame, for your hair should go to your genes. But whether your hair is naturally thick and full or thin and wispy, you can make the best of it with the right products.
Dr. Matt Leavitt, president of the Hair Foundation and medical director of Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, says there are only two essentials for clean, healthy-looking hair: shampoo and conditioner.
The shampoo, which really cleans the scalp more than the hair, needs to match your scalp type: dry, normal or oily. Shampoos designed for oily scalps often contain relatively larges amounts of lauryl sulfate, a strong all-purpose cleanser. Shampoos for drier scalps will usually include a healthy dose of laureth sulfate, a gentle cleanser that's easy on hair.
The conditioner, Leavitt says, helps fortify the outer layers protecting each hair. Conditioners give hair shine and flexibility while preventing annoying static.
It can take some real trial and error to find a conditioner that you like. Draelos says you can narrow your search by keeping your hair type in mind. A heavy conditioner can help tame thick, kinky hair, she says, but people with fine, straight hair need a lighter touch. Fine hair that is over-conditioned will look limp and greasy.
Conditioners containing keratin or similar proteins can help mend split ends and generally give new life to damaged hair.
A good two-in-one product should work just as well as a separate shampoo and conditioner, Leavitt says. The clear implication: Women should stop giving the men in their lives grief about the big green bottle in the shower. It's science. So there.
More hairy tips:
• Unless you have a really grimy job or an excessively oily scalp, you don't need to shampoo every day, Draelos says. And you can skip the "repeat" after the lather and rinse. As she explains, the scalp's natural oils are the ultimate hair conditioner. Over-washed, super-clean hair can be frizzy, dull and hard to style.
• If your hair is damaged by dyes, perms or the sun, try rubbing in a few drops of hair serum — sold at any drugstore — after a wash.
• High-priced shampoos sold at salons and cheap shampoos at the grocery store have the same cleansing ingredients. What do you get for the extra bucks? "Fragrances and packaging," Draelos says.
• According to Draelos, you don't need to worry about foaminess when choosing a shampoo or conditioner. All of that extra foam is mainly just for show.
• The same thing with vitamins. They may look enticing on a shampoo label, but there's no good evidence that they'll make hair look any cleaner or healthier.
• Thick, creamy conditioners tend to be more moisturizing than thinner, runnier conditioners, Leavitt says.
• One truly bad idea: Turning a max-power drier on sopping wet hair. "The water on your hair can actually boil, causing incredible damage," Leavitt says. "It's called 'bubble hair.' It looks dull and it breaks easily." Instead, he recommends towel-drying first and using a less-than-nuclear drier setting.
• The right kibble means a shinier coat. Wait, that's dogs. But the basic principle works for people too.Omega-3 fatty acidsfrom sources like salmon, flax seed or supplements can give you extra luster, Leavitt says. On the other hand, he warns that hair can turn dull and brittle if you don't get enough protein. Vegans take note.

Pine Island Ridge Natural Area
3900 S.W. 100th Ave., Davie, FL 33328Phone: 954-357-5130 • Fax: 954-357-5131 • Email: email@example.com
Size101.2 acres
HabitatHigh hammock forest dominated by live oaks and slash pines. At an elevation of 29 feet above sea level, Pine Island Ridge has the highest natural elevation in Broward County.
VegetationLive oak, slash pine, hackberry, marlberry, wild coffee, beautyberry, swamp fern, and giant sword fern.
WildlifeThis natural area is home to wildlife. Gopher tortoises, great horned owls, migratory warblers, red-bellied and pileated woodpeckers, Cooper's hawks, and atala butterflies. Pine Island Ridge is part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, which is a network of nearly 500 sites throughout Florida selected for their excellent bird-watching and/or bird-education opportunities. If you have questions regarding wildlife or wish additional information, please call the park number above. The following safety tips are recommended for our guests: 1. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid the water's edge. 2. Alligators, snakes, and other animals live in this area. 3. Do not approach, feed, or taunt alligators, snakes, or other wildlife. 4. Pets, where permitted, must be on a leash no longer than six feet. 5. No swimming or wading except in designated areas. 6. Use common sense while in this natural area.
AmenitiesInterpretive signage throughout. Paved trail originating in Tree Tops Park leads to an interpretive shelter in Pine Island Ridge. Equestrian trails on the site link Tree Tops Park with Westridge, a Town of Davie park. Additionally, the Forest Ridge community is connected at its main entrance to Tree Tops Park by a paved walking path that meanders across Pine Island Ridge. Restrooms are available at Tree Tops Park.
A Little HistoryThis 102.2-acre natural area, located in the Town of Davie, was formerly owned by the Belcher family and is now surrounded by citrus groves and the Forest Ridge residential community. The overall site, which opened to the public in February 1990, can be described as a crescent-shaped sandy ridge rising above former Everglades flatlands. At its highest elevation, 29 feet above sea level, it is also the highest natural point in Broward County.
The gently undulating topography of the ridge serves as a reminder that, although the Atlantic Ocean is now roughly 10 miles away, it once deposited fine sands and created dunes here 100,000 years ago. Sea levels fluctuated greatly during the most recent ice age, approximately 20,000 years ago, but eventually the Florida peninsula emerged and the ancient barrier island that is now Pine Island Ridge became a sandy inland ridge. That ridge became an island once again approximately 5,000 years ago when the Everglades formed – not an island at the edge of the ocean, but an island surrounded by an inland freshwater river of sawgrass.
Archaeological surveys have confirmed sites within Pine Island Ridge as the locations of hunting camps of the ancient Tequesta Indians. More recently, in the 1800s, as the historian Patsy West has written, "The Pine Island complex was probably one of the first permanent habitation sites occupied by the Seminole in southeastern Florida."
West goes on: "During the Second Seminole War [1835-1842], Pine Island became known as the legendary refuge for the Seminole. The Island was in the uncharted Everglades where the military had never set foot, and appeared to be secure." As West points out, Sam Jones, the Miccosukee war chief also known as Abiaka, was closely linked to the series of islands that included Pine Island Ridge and nearby Long Key. One of his primary residences was on Long Key, and Pine Island Ridge is where he was repeatedly besieged by U.S. government forces that wanted to corner and capture him. (The warrior is commemorated with a statue in Tree Tops Park, adjacent to Pine Island Ridge.)

A small Italian Deli that sells a variety of cured meats and cheeses. But the best of all is their Sandwich Bar! They have variety of breads with your choice of filling.
It's most definitely a great bargain here for the quality of meats & choice of veggies & cheese you get here from the sandwich bar. Most definitely, the artichokes, grilled peppers, eggplants and variety of quality cheeses makes the sandwich as great as it is. Well, there's all that tasty deli meat, too!
I only come to buy sandwiches, but if I were in need of some good old deli cuts, I'd choose La Grotta for my party platter needs!
A small is very filling for $4 all veggie, or $4.50 with choice of meats in a nice round bun, while there are several sizes up in longer subs and then there's the choice of using their focaccia bread instead.
Service is friendly and quick. They toast your bun up for you so if you don't want it toasted, be sure to let them know as by default sometimes, they end up tossing it onto the grill.
I've heard many good things about La Grotta from the locals on 'the drive' and since I don't go there often, I was excited to give them a try this afternoon.
The set-up of the deli is great. Huge variety of great cheeses, oils, vinegars, breads...it's awesome.
I order a small meat sandwich. Got to choose my meat, cheese, toppings, and sauces. I chose smoked turket, emmenthal, basil pesto mayo with oil & vinegar and toppings like olives and marinated artichokes!! They grilled my sandwich and on the drive back to work, I couldn't stop myself from drooling! My first bite was heaven. Artichokes made a nice flavor and the meat was 3/4"stacked!!!
Eventhough I asked for a small, I was stuffed by the last bite.
Give it a try and you'll see for yourself why La Grotta is the best deli!
Was out and about on Commercial Drive. I had read some great reviews on Dinehere.ca regarding the sandwiches at La Grotta and wanted to try.
First, the sandwich prices are located at the middle of the display case. You chose your bread, your cheese and meat, condiments and extras. Line up to the left for sandwiches and to the right for other deli orders. The prices are based on the type of bread with some extra charge for specific types of meat.
I chose the sub as my bread. I chose the prosciutto (extra $2) as my meat. I had them add the smoked provolone cheese, pesto mayo, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, roasted red peppers, spicy eggplant, green olives, fresh tomato and lettuce. With an Italian canned soda (located in the cooler in the back) the bill came to just over $10.50.
My friend and I took our sandwiches to a grassy spot and enjoyed them picnic style. They were DELICIOIUS. The sodas were a perfect "go with". For the quality received - the value was incredible. Same price as subway - but a million times better!
Please note - there is a couple of small cafe style tables outside - but no other seating. Take your purchases a few blocks to Williams Street and enjoy them as picnic in the summer.
I only came here to try it out because of the good reviews on this site..
Had lunch here the other day. It's a deli so it's hard to rate it like a restaurant but here's my experience.
Service was the basic, who's next, what would you like, I don't feel too enthusiastic about my job assembly line at the cafeteria feeling. I ordered a "whole focaccia sandwich" with extra topping charge for a total of $12.50. On the bread I had some oil & balsamic, dijon. Havarti, prosciutto & capicollo. Vegetables, grilled. The sandwich was great, and large. I only ate half and the other half was my lunch the next day. Now I guess the food is only as good as what each person chooses to put inside. Mine was a good sandwich. Yeah I would eat here again next time I'm on commercial drive but I wouldn't travel far distances or recommend it to all of my friends. It's just a deli sandwich.. A good sandwich though -)
I've gone here on and off for many years. It never really changes. Good selection of meat and cheese as well as great condiments. Not much in the way of veggies and I LOVE lots of veggies on my sandwich. It certainly is one heck of a lot better than that gross rip off Subway. If I'm in the area and need lunch it's a go to place.
This place has really good sandwiches and are better it appears if grilled panini sytle. I prefer cold sanwiches so this leaves a bit off for me. They could use a wider selection of bread - not just focaccia - I hate foccacia. Also a wider range of veggies. Condiments and cheese selection were great. For busy weekday service was good and realtively fast. Average value but much better than way overpriced Subway.
Just don't sit outside at the tables next door that are for CAFE CALABRIA or the crazy dude who owns it will come out and totally SPAZ on you.
Don't have much to add to the previous reviewers but just wanted to say that if you haven't tried La Grotta, that you should at least make a pit stop during the summer to enjoy their well made panini's or italian styled sandwiches. Their use of fresh, premium ingredients is what sets them apart from your usual fast food chain operations. Their staff are great, couldn't give them anything less than 5 stars for excellent, efficient and customer oriented service. For a gratuity-free environment, they really take pride in what they do. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the line up was about 15 minutes long. Waiting for your sandwich to be made was quite enjoyable because you can browse through their deli selections, jars of condiments, olive oil, and plenty of specialty food items from the old country. Although a full-sized fully loaded panini can set you back $12, it's shareable between two people and comes with specialty toppings that other places don't even think of offering like artichoke hearts or spicy havarti cheese. Hubby and I shared a half-sized for $6.50, and it's plenty for a hearty snack. They don't skimp on the meat! Giving it 3 for ambiance to neutralize the scoring since it's not really a restaurant, but a old fashioned deli in the heart of the Drive.
Well I owe you guys on dine here a big thank you! Ive been craving a great panini and oh god i got it!
Ive never had a better sandwich in my life. And thats why i rated this place a 5 for the food.
I got the turkey, the pesto mayo, the smoked mozzerella, the honey mustard and all the veggies on a half foccacia. I got it drizzled with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Yumm it gave it just the right after taste. It was so authentically italian me and my companion were gushing over how delicious the paninis were the whole meal.
The value was fantastic! for two people + a drink it came out to 15$, thats as cheap as subway or some other crappy sandwich place. Really great value! Service was friendly and ambience.. well you dont go for the atmosphere or a place to sit as there are only two tables outside that are usually full, you go for the sandwich! Also if your a cooking kind of person they have excellent authentic italian products inside (Specifically i remember a wall of olive oils!) a foodies dream, but dont expect to be impressed by the ambiance.
I definitely agree with the last reviewer-- awesome paninis at good prices. Their selection of meats/fillings are tasty and numerous. But make sure you go early because the variety of bread decreases as it gets later in the day.
The staff don't smile very much but they aren't rude or anything. Just wish they'd be more friendly. Service is pretty quick and efficient.
You get pretty good bang for your buck here. The cost of a sandwich (depending on which size you choose) is about the same of that at a Subway or Quizno's, but you get far better value in taste and quality.
With regards to the ambiance-- it's a deli. You order and pay at the counter. The wall shelves behind you are filled with yummy goods. My only wish is that there was seating within the deli to sit down and enjoy my hot-from-the-panini-press sandwich, rather than have to eat it in my car or wait until I get home.
I ordered a large sub which I think was $ 7.95. One person can get two meals from this sandwich. Great fresh vegetables, excellent bread and some good roast beef. The server was really friendly but you can't eat there as it is a grocery store/ deli. I will be back there every time I am in the area.
The best sandwich in town. Freshly made in front of your eyes and grilled to perfection. The cheese selection is also remarkable. Staff is a bit rude though. I've had one of them told me I'm too busy to slice you the cheese you want. Can't you choose anotherone?
good value sandwitches for a reasonable price.
very busy place.
even half sub can make you go happy from there.
That's what I wanted to say. but unfortunatly it doesn't get to 300 words.. so I have to add this comment
and that comment..
and soon I will update you how I'm doing a falafel check around the city- looking for the best in town
Overall this is a good shop. The quality and selection is very good. The owners really try hard to offer a good product and are very knowledgeable about their foods. The owners will offer advice if you ask. The only negative is a woman who works in the deli area. She is positivley rude. She clearly displays attitude in the way she handles your food and talks to you. She is constantly leaning over and wispering comments to the other staff. This store is owned by very good people. I don't know how they are missing this problem.
This is an old fashioned Deli. Not much has changed here in the past 50 years, except they continue to make the best deli sandwiches on the planet.
The price for a half focacia with Montreal smoked meats and fresh deli cheese is about $8, the best meal that you will be getting for $8 in Vancouver, likely ever.
This is one of my favourites!
I'm not going to comment on the sandwiches, because that has been well and effectively covered by everyone else. I'd like to comment on everything else this wonderful deli has to offer.
I've been a regular though infrequent visitor to La Grotta for over 20 years. They offer some of the best pastas, olive oils, vinegars, and general italian condiments (including good italian tuna, and a great range of anchovies, which can be hard to find) in the city. And the authentic deli ambience is wonderful -- although yes, it can be confusing and sometimes rather hectic and time consuming to get your goodies.
I don't think the prices are exceptionally high or low; fairly average I think, so I give that 3 stars.
One of the regular behind-the-counter ladies, who has been there ever since I first visited back in the early 80s, is always a great help when I have recipe questions when cooking up a real italian feast. Some of the younger staff are sometimes a bit frazzled though.
Wonderful place; wonderful people; wonderful food. Long live La Grotta!
This is the place to go for a fresh made sandwich. Fresh bread, you choose the meat, cheese, and toppings, such as red peppers, artichokes, pickled eggplant, pesto mayo.... awesome! Great value too. While you're in there, pick up some great cheese, or some fresh italian pasta an other specialty items. Olive oils, vinegars, etc. Great little shop all around.
La Grotta has been a local favourite for sandwiches. It has always been their legacy to pack a sheer amount of meat in every sandwich, giving the customers a tasteful treat. I have never been let down with a single sandwich I've ordered from them. For every order, you are sure that you are paying for the premium meats, best cheese and fresh vegetables. The main thing people come for are the paninis and for good reason they are amazing! To top it off, the staff was super friendly & helpful.
Wow! I never thought I would ever say wow to a sandwich. I'm not big on sandwiches but decided to give this place a try after seeing the reviews. I had a 1/2 focaccia sandwich with mexican salami (I think they mentioned it is made with tequila), artichokes, other vegetables, cheese etc, olive oil, etc. All I can say is this sandwich was amazing and so full of flavor. We went back the next day to have it again. Highly recommended!
Read some reviews on this place..walked by many times without realizing it was more than a cheese shop. Sadly,I wish I had entrered these premises long ago. I encountered a young lady behind the counter "Adeana" {Probably misspelled}.. was very polite,friendly and told of all the veggies I could add to the sandwich I chose,artichokes, grilled peppers,eggplant,tomatoes,and a few other choices.I had the turkey and hot cappicolla sandwich..which she suggested I try grilled. "The sandwich".. It was Soooo tastey!!I had provolone cheese as well as edam inside it..Very polite helpfull staff here.The other two ladies behind the counter were quite pleasant as well.Sadly...no place to sit in this Italian deli.. I enjoyed my sandwich thouroughly when I returned to work that day. Looking forward to returning here!
Hanging around the Drive, I decided to have lunch and remembered this spot.
Food: Sandwiches, sandwiches and sandwiches. Sure, they have some other deli items and delis but, for a quick bite, sandwich is the keyword. You choose the bread, dressing (oil, mayo, mustard, et al), veggies, meat and cheese. Unlike a previous reviewer, I requested gouda (not in their cheese list) and they were happy to accomodate me. Was I lucky? Finally, you can have it "as is" or grilled. And for ~$7.00, I had a half-focaccia sandwich with a lot of veggies and deli meat.
As for service and ambiance, this is not a sit-down restaurant; as mentioned above, it is a deli. As a result, I didn't have any expectations for those two.
Overall, if you are in the area, definitely drop by. I am certain I will do that. And, as another reviewed mentioned, grab some cheese, as well!

Apple wanted to start the new year out right by premiering a brand new iPhone 5 ad starring Venus and Serena Williams.
The ad's release, however, was somewhat ill timed. The new spot highlights the popular Do Not Disturb feature on the very day that it malfunctioned. Various consumers and tech blogs reported that iOS 6 users experienced glitches once the year switched to 2013.
Do not disturb allows users to block certain phone calls, texts, and even Facebook notifications when they, well, don't want to be disturbed. Like during a dream in which you're beating Venus and Serena Williams at ping pong. TBWA does Apple's advertising work.

Bulldogs Follow Tough Walk-Off Loss with Shutout Defeat
BLACKSBURG, Va. — The Yale University baseball team braved temperatures in the mid-30s Sunday afternoon to squeeze in a doubleheader in an effort to beat the snow that was forecast for Sunday night through Monday. Unfortunately the Bulldogs had trouble raising the heat of their bats in the cold weather, leading to another doubleheader sweep.
Virginia Tech stole the opening game of Sunday's doubleheader with one swing of the bat, a walk-off home run by Andrew Rash in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Hokies a 6-5 victory. In the second game, two pitchers combined to toss a five-hit shutout in a 17-0 victory to complete the sweep at English Field.
The Hokies improved to 11-2 with the four-game weekend sweep of the Bulldogs, who fall to 0-4 to open their season.
"When I agreed to play this series, I knew it would be a big challenge. If you make a mistake against a very good team like Virginia Tech, they make you pay," Yale head coach John Stuper said. "We are a very young team and there is going to be a learning curve. We had some good moments this weekend, and we will build on that. I am very confident that we will play much better moving forward."
It turns out that the opening game of Sunday's doubleheader was the most promising one of the entire weekend for the Bulldogs and perhaps showed the level of play that the Bulldogs could reach moving forward, especially once the Ivy League season begins.
One thing is certain, Virginia Tech saw how much resolve Yale had in the tank. Mark Zagunis' solo home run in the bottom of the first inning gave the Hokies a 1-0 lead. In the fourth, Yale bounced right back with back-to-back two-out doubles by Kevin Fortunato and Cale Hanson, allowing Fortunato to score the tying run.
The Hokies reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the fifth when Zagunis' one-out double drove in Brendon Hayden for a 2-1 lead.
In the top of the sixth, Yale bounced back once again, this time scoring a pair of runs on a two-run home run by Fortunato that gave the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead. The lead was short-lived as the Hokies tied the game in the bottom of the inning on Chad Morgan's RBI sac fly that allowed T. Horan to score the tying run.
The Hokies appeared to take control of the game with a two-run seventh inning. Horan's two-run single with two outs put Virginia Tech on top 5-3.
The Bulldogs were not down for the count, however. In typical Yale fashion, a big rally in the top of the ninth inning started with a little small ball when Charlie Neil and Cam Squires led off the inning with back-to-back singles and both advanced into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt by senior captain Ryan Brenner. Freshman David Toups followed with an RBI groundout to second base that scored Neil and allowed Squires to move to third base. Squires then scored on an RBI single from sophomore Jacob Hunter. The rally tied the game at 5-5.
It didn't take long for Virginia Tech to steal the momentum away from the Bulldogs. The first batter of the bottom of the ninth inning, Rash, belted a walk-off, game-winning home run to lift Virginia Tech to the 6-5 win.
Fortunato and Neil were both 2-for-4, with Fortunato driving in two runs and scoring two more. Neil, Josh Scharff and Squires each scored a run for the Bulldogs. Hanson went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Starting pitcher Pat Ludwig was brilliant on the mound, scattering seven hits, allowing three runs, just two earned runs, and striking out nine batters.
The outcome was much different in the final game of the four-game series. Virginia Tech pitchers Colin O'Keefe and Eddie Campbell combined to throw a five-hit shutout in the 17-0 win. O'Keefe started and gave up three hits in five innings, walking only one batter and striking out six. Campbell worked the final four innings of the game and gave up just two hits, striking out four Yale batters.
Meanwhile, the Virginia Tech bats produced 17 runs on 19 hits, including three doubles, three home runs and a triple.
Hanson went 2-for-4 to lead Yale. Fortunato, Neil and freshman Robert Baldwin each had a hit.
Regardless of the four-game sweep, Stuper saw encouraging signs from his players throughout the entire series.
"Charlie Neil, Josh Scharff, and Ryan Brenner had consistent at-bats," Stuper said. "Jake Hunter got a huge hit in the ninth to tie the first game. Kevin Fortunato hit a long home run to give us the lead. Cale Hanson is coming around. Pat Ludwig had the best stuff I have seen him have. He was outstanding."
The Bulldogs will now travel to Winter Haven, Fla., to participate in the RussMatt Invitational beginning Wednesday against Georgetown. Yale will play seven games in seven days in Florida, including two against the Hoyas, as well as games against Bowling Green, North Dakota State, Bradley, South Florida and Lafayette.

Hi all
My wench and I have recently had an addition to our family and I was wondering what a pastafarian naming ceremony involves. I assume there is full pirate regalia and the after party involves lots of beer and pasta, but what about the actual ceremony?
I tried searching this forum but "naming ceremony" "baptism" and "christening" all come back as not being specific enough. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Make sure you check out part one of my blog, published two weeks ago.
Teeth came up in another story in 2010. Researchers were quoted as saying that modern humans, traditionally thought to have evolved roughly 200,000 years ago in East Africa, now might be 400,000 years old. In addition, they may have evolved in Israel rather than Africa. Twice as old and not from Africa, was the message spread by the media. The evidence? A few teeth found in Qesem Cave.
However, a word of caution is in order here. What was reported in the media was not what the scientists had said. In fact, they had implored the members of the press not to engage in hyperbole and present hypotheticals as proven facts. They were ignored. Someone called the media on this and chastised them for engaging in "science by press release."
DNA made the headlines several times this past year. In August scientists announced that they had decoded famous ice man Oetzi's genome. This is interesting in itself; it would be even more interesting if we could compare his genetic makeup with the genome of the Tarim Basin mummies. Such a genome has not been decoded yet, so we will have to wait. Imagine, however, the potential such a comparison would present to evaluate the origins of these Caucasoid mummies.

What lessons can we draw from all this?
First, it seems that a lot of trailblazing research is now based on minute amounts of evidence, a finger bone here, and a few teeth there.
Second, the fact that we are dealing with minute amounts of information does not detract from the importance of the scientific contributions these data have made.
Third, some of the data are microscopically small. Size notwithstanding, DNA and DNA analysis have become a very valuable component in retracing human origins.
I would like to end with an observation and a comment.
In March 2010, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History proudly opened its doors on the completely renovated David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins. It is a wonderful exhibit, sharing with millions of visitors the scientific basis of our understanding of human evolution.
On display for the first three months were three original fossils, one Cro-Magnon and two Neanderthals. Their presence was announced with great pride in the original press release. A review by a leading US newspaper stated: "Because of the fragility of human remains, only a handful of actual fossils are on display, diminishing the sense of wonder the real thing always inspires."
Interestingly, the reference to the original fossils was missing in other (presumably later) online versions of that same announcement. Instead, we only find a reference to "a display of more than 75 skulls (exact replicas)."
Here is a photograph as it appeared in the media (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin), showcasing two of the three original skulls on display.

The caption read :
"Fossil skulls of La Ferrassie Neanderthal, left, and Cro-Magnon, that are on a three-month loan from the Musée de l'Homme in France, are seen in the David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington. Scientists think DNA analysis of Siberian genetic material may have revealed yet another branch of the human tree."
In an age where the human attention span seems to be measured in minutes, let alone days or even years, it is good to remember that in 2007, there was another original fossil on display in the US. The venue was the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The original fossil involved was that of Lucy.
In a very savvy media campaign, several leading paleoanthropologists engaged in variations of an ad hominem attack, and used rather unfortunate language to refer to the museum, as well as the curator of the exhibit.
The scientists who opposed Lucy going on display all invoked the same document, a 1998 statement drafted by the International Association for the Study of Human Paleontology. The second resolution in this document declares:
"We strongly recommend that original hominid fossils should not be transported beyond the country of origin unless there are compelling scientific reasons which must include the demonstration that the proposed investigations cannot proceed in the foreseeable future in the country of origin."
Less than three years after invoking this document, the National Museum of Natural History now finds itself doing the very same thing it once so vehemently opposed. Moreover, an internet search in the days following the opening of the new hall in Washington failed to identify any criticism by the same individuals who in the previous case had brought out the big guns. As the first anniversary of the hall is just around the corner, still not a word of criticism has been uttered.
As someone once said: "Isn't that special?"

To experience the true essence of an adventure vacation package, plan it with Austin-Lehman adventures. With over 38 years of experience in organizing adventure tours whether family vacations, honeymoon trips or may be just a break from work, we offer customized holiday packages for everyone.Imagine sleeping beside the 100 ft. Havasupai Falls in a deluxe camp site where the only way to reach it is through hiking on a rugged trail down the mountain ranges. The roaring sound of water falling in to the lake and the picturesque scenery is quite an inspiration and drives you on your journey to reach the end.
Once the trek is over, relax in the natural whirlpool created by mineral rich water and enjoy nature's healing spa. Take a tour of the Havasupai village, which is one of the most remote villages of Native America and still uses packhorse to deliver food, mail and other supplies.
The striking blue colour water of the lakes in Havasupai is due to the natural occurrence of calcium carbonate and magnesium in this area. Trek through the canyon and explore red rocks and fossils in the caves. Less than half a mile from Havasupai Falls is Navajo Falls with its spectacular travertine pools and rich fauna. Visit the Mooney and Beaver Falls as well to leisurely swim around in the large pools below the falls mostly unvisited by the tourists.

Hope College Theatre will present "The Pinter Project," a collection of short plays written by Harold Pinter, in the DeWittCenter studio theatre beginning Friday, April 23.
Several events will be included. There will be evening performances of nine short plays by Pinter: "The Dumbwaiter," "A Kind of Alaska," and seven "sketches" or "black-out scenes." Performances are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24, and Wednesday through Saturday, April 28 to May 1, all in the DeWitt Center studio theatre starting at 8 p.m.
The project's director, John Tammi, professor of theatre, noted that the late British playwright Harold Pinter is considered one of the most significant dramatists of the late 20th century.
"We are, in a real sense, creating a Pinter Festival," Tammi said. "Our aim is to inform the public regarding the rich contributions made by Pinter and to pay homage to his continuing legacy."
In addition to the ticketed events, the department of theatre is sponsoring several free events during the two performance weeks.
On Wednesday, April 21, in the DeWitt Center Herrick Room at 4 p.m., the department will screen two documentaries featuring Pinter: "A Conversation with Charlie Rose" and "Working with Pinter: A Master Class for the Stage."
A Pinter Symposium featuring a panel discussion will be held on Thursday, April 22, at 4 p.m. in the DeWittCenter studio theatre. The event will be moderated by Dr. Stephen Hemenway, who is a professor of English and director of the Vienna Summer School, and David James, who is an adjunct associate professor of English and director of the Writing Center.
On Monday, April 26, at 4 p.m. in the Fried-Hemenway Auditorium of the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication, there will be a screening of the film "The Homecoming."
The film screenings will continue on Wednesday, April 28, at 4 p.m. in the DeWitt Center Herrick Room with the film "Betrayal."
A staged reading of Pinter's play "Moonlight" will be held on Thursday, April 29, at 4 p.m. in the DeWitt Center studio theatre.
And finally, audiences are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch and join the department of theatre on Friday, April 30, at noon in the DeWitt Center studio theatre for a staged reading of the Pinter play "The Lover."
Harold Pinter's career as a playwright spanned more than 50 years, beginning with "The Room" in 1957 and continuing with another 28 plays. Some of his best-known works include "The Birthday Party," "Betrayal" and "The Homecoming," winner of the 1967 Tony for Best Play. For his contributions to literature through his playwriting and poetry, Harold Pinter was awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature. He died on Dec. 24, 2008.
In addition to Tammi, other faculty members on the production team are Richard Smith, scenic and properties designer, and Michelle Bombe, costume design mentor. Erik Alberg, technical director for events and conferences, is the lighting and sound designer, and staff member Paul Anderson is the technical director. Junior Katie Hoekstra of Kalamazoo is the costume designer.
The ensemble of "The Pinter Project" includes senior Tom Bird of Baraboo, Wis.; freshman Skye Edwards of Morrison, Colo.; senior Alex Martin of Saugatuck; senior Meg McNamee of Hartland; sophomore Caitlin Seay of Grandville; sophomore Madison Tustin of Plainwell; sophomore Christoff Visscher of Silver Spring, Md.; and senior Christine Worden of Midland.

GOP Rep.: More - not fewer - guns the answer
Updated 3:25 p.m. ET
Had Sandy Hook Elementary School principal Dawn Hochsprung kept a gun in her office, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, argued today, the Newtown, Conn., shooting Friday that left 20 students and six faculty members dead would have had a far less tragic result.
"I wish to God she had had an M4 [carbine rifle] in her office locked up and so when she heard gunshots... she takes his head off before he can hurt those kids," Gohmert said of Hochsprung - who was among those killed - on FOX News Sunday. The alleged gunman, Adam Lanza, murdered his mother at home before driving to the school and killing 27 more, including himself.
- Obama repeats call for "meaningful action" on guns
- Will Connecticut school shooting spur gun control action?
"Every mass killing of more than three people in recent history has been in a place where guns were prohibited," he continued. "They choose this place, they know no one will be armed."
A vocal leader in the right-wing tea party movement, Gohmert stands out among conservatives who have been lying low since President Obama on Friday suggested the tragedy will give way to "meaningful action" on the gun issue; Gohmert and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, were the only pro-gun lawmakers or advocates to accept the networks' requests for interviews on the Sunday political shows.
Republican congressional leadership, like House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have been silent on the issue since Friday, while the airwaves have been flooded with pro-gun control supporters, rendering Gohmert and Chaffetz the de facto spokesmen for congressional Republicans today.
Gohmert maintained that more, not fewer, guns is the answer, but said he agreed with Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., that any debate about reform needs to be "open-minded."
"Sen. Durbin's right... the conversation we've got to have has got to have everybody open-minded," Gohmert said. "We all react emotionally, that's why we've all shed tears and our prayers will continue to go to the people in Connecticut who've lost loved ones."

Keep your undercarriage smooth and saddle sore free with Qoleum's Qfriction Antifriction chamois cream.
Qoleum's Qfriction Antifriction O is a natural petroleum-jelly based ointment that reduces friction and rubbing where the chamois of your shorts meets your body.
It's unlike any chamois cream I've used before. It's an opaque colour and a consistency not unlike a certain product you apply to the chest when you've got a cold. It's quite thick but easy to apply to the chamois or directly to the skin. The calendula-and-tea-tree-oil scent isn't too offensive; the tea tree oil delivers the antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
I've been using it for a couple of months and have found that you only need a small dab, a little really does go a long way. On rides up to about 4 hours it just does its thing, I certainly experienced no sores during the time I was testing it. It's good in the rain too, or on very hot rides or races where you might sweat a lot, as it doesn't wash away easily.
Does what it says on the tin, and is reasonably priced.

Antifriction ointment prevents friction and rubbing from sports kit and equipment. Also facilitates in the prevention of saddle sores, chafing and associated infections, with anti-sweat properties suitable for face use and above eyebrows and prevents blisters on hands.
Application: Apply to affected areas of the body, and/or directly onto chamois of cycling shorts, or apply to skin underneath sports equipment.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Application: Apply to affected areas of the body, and/or directly onto chamois of cycling shorts, or apply to skin underneath sports equipment.
Provides a good protective barrier and wards against chafing impressively, especially on longer rides. Don't need that much either, a little goes a long way.
Unlike some chamois creams which are only good for the first hour of the ride, this stuff keeps working 4 hours into the ride.
If saddle sores, chafing and blisters are putting you off cycling, invest in this stuff, it'll look after you.
£15 for the small tin seems quite pricey but it lasts ages, mainly because you only need a small dollop before a ride.
