I'm hardly a sappy romantic who goes all ga-ga over red roses, gushy Hallmark cards and boxes of beribboned chocolates (I'll take the chocolates sans fancy wrapping, thank you very much), but from the moment I walked into my Tenthouse Suite at Rockwater Secret Cove Resort, I was smitten. Don't let the word "tent" fool you. With heated slate floors, a fluffy white down duvet on a king-sized bed, and room service, this is five-stars up from camping.
The 13 tents (from $210/night) are perched in and amongst the rainforest, some even at treetop level, giving you an eagle's eye view of the lapping waters of Malaspina Strait. With no kids and no pets allowed, it's all about privacy and passion -- think of it as a love potion that actually works. "The intention was not to have the tents open year-round, but they've become so popular we changed our minds," says Kevin Toth, one of the owners, with a grin,
His business partner had spent time in Africa, and Toth had been to Japan, so the goal was to incorporate a little of both in their vision of a reborn Lord Jim's Resort Hotel. Instead of classic 1960s hunting and fishing lodge, the decor in the tenthouse suites is more like safari Zen.
It is definitely an accessible escape, less than two hours from Vancouver, and one that's especially affordable in the low season -- rates are about half of peak summer prices. This is the time of year you'll find good deals at most B.C. properties, so unless you really need a "get out of the doghouse" extravaganza on Feb. 14, save some bucks and gift your loved one with a rain check for a later date. You can't go wrong with the luxurious Aerie Resort, nestled high atop a mountainside at the edge of the Cowichan Valley. It's won accolades from the likes of Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure magazines, as well as rave reviews from one of my colleagues. Global BC cameraman Al Coen describes it as a "great escape into romance." When have you ever heard a guy talk about a hotel that way? He actually got married there a few years ago, and he and his wife try to return whenever they can. "The Aerie has wonderful food, a great spa, and amazing views," Coen gushes.
All rooms at this Relais and Chateaux property showcase commanding panoramas of the breathtaking scenery (starting at $139/night). But tear your eyes away from the view for at least 90 minutes, as you and your partner indulge in a private massage class. Now that's what I call the gift that keeps on giving. For couples on a budget, plan a post-Valentine's Day getaway to Victoria. Sample the three-course culinary creations of some of the city's best chefs for a bargain $20, $30 or $40 during the Dine Around promotion (Feb. 19 to March 8). After dinner, cosy up for a night in at the Villa Marco Polo, an intimate four-room bed and breakfast just blocks from Government House ($190/night and up). With shades of Tuscany and Umbria, the well-appointed rooms have caught the attention of Conde Nast Johansens, a guidebook featuring the most prestigious properties in the world.
There aren't too many amorous weekends that wouldn't be enhanced by a bottle or two of the Okanagan's finest vintages. So make it as easy as possible -- your villa suite at Hester Creek Estate Winery ($185/night and up) is just stumbling distance away, and in case you run out, the wine shop is open seven days a week.
When you're ready to break out of your wine-induced cocoon, sign up for a cooking class. Wine and Thyme Cooking School in Westbank has workshops most Sundays, and Hainle Organic Winery in Peachland serves up a three-hour class every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. You know the saying, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen," so think of it as the perfect test for a budding relationship.
Adventurous couples looking for something a bit off the beaten path will find a winter wonderland of outdoor activities near beautiful Bella Coola, on the central coast. A day of guided snowshoeing through pristine valleys and ancient rainforest ends in front of a crackling fire in your brand new log cabin at Bella Coola Wilderness Adventures (two-night package $595/person). You'll be treated to delicious home-cooked cuisine and a nightcap or two in front of the bonfire.
Not enough adrenalin? Get high on 1.5 million acres of perfect powder, surrounded by the towering craggy granite peaks of the Coast Mountains. A heliskiing trip with Bella Coola Heli Sports is definitely high-end ($4,380 per person for three-day package), but in my books, anything that gets the blood pumping can spark passion.
The view from my Tenthouse Suite on the Sunshine Coast has all the right ingredients for romance -- the ocean, the sky and the forest.
The best spot to soak it all in? The fantastic hydrotherapy tub built for two.
Those water jets pummeled me into such a state of bliss, for a moment, I forgot about my husband.
But that's okay. We had a whole weekend booked at Rockwater, with nothing on the agenda.
Rockwater Secret Cove Resort has a special two-night Valentine's weekend package, including four-course dinner and breakfasts. $885 in a tenthouse suite.
At the Aerie Resort, indulge in a 90-minute private massage class for $180/couple. Room rates start at $139/night.
Villa Marco Polo's Silk Road Romanza weekend includes two nights accommodations, a one-hour dual massage and $100 credit at Brasserie l'Ecole restaurant. $700/couple.
For details on Victoria's Dine Around, Stay in Town dining promotion, visit www.tourismvictoria.com/dinearound
In the Okanagan, Hester Creek's villa suites all have king beds and private view patios. Regular room rates start at $185, but they also have a special Valentine's package for $325/couple.

Gov. Rick Perry may face an old political ghost from his tenure as Texas Agriculture Commisioner -- a complimentary letter he wrote in 1993 to then-First Lady Hillary Clinton to urge her to consider the needs of rural residents as she drafted what would later be derided as "Hillarycare."
In the letter, dated April 6, 1993, Perry wrote to Clinton, "I think your efforts in trying to reform the nation's health care system are most commendable."
He went on to request that the health-care task force consider the unique needs of "farmers, ranchers, and agriculture workers, and other members of rural communities."
Perry campaign strategist Dave Carney told The Daily Caller, which first reported on the letter yesterday, that Perry would not have known the specifics of the policy at the time. "The letter was at the onset of her efforts before she proposed anything," he said. "No one could have imagined the horrible monstrosity she cooked up, in fact, not to be outdone until 'ObamaCare' years later."
It is true that the precise details of the plan were unclear at the time and the process of hashing out the policy was (now infamously) opaque. But some of the broad goals of the legislation were being reported at the same time Perry was penning praise to Clinton.
According to a Los Angles Times report from April 5, 1993, the plan was designed to, in part:
* Guarantee that a uniform package of basic benefits will be available to everyone, although not all the uninsured will get this coverage right away. Among the basic benefits would be hospital and doctor services, including mental health care, and some prescription drug coverage.
* Create a standardized insurance form and bar insurers from refusing to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions, in order to enable people to change jobs-and insurers-without fear of losing coverage.
* Enact tort reforms to reduce medical malpractice litigation.
* Impose a price freeze on private-sector medical providers while the system of cooperatives is phased in, a process that could take three to five years.
* Phase in a requirement for employers to provide workers with health insurance, with government subsidies to help the smaller businesses.
Several of those objectives, including the mandate that employers provide health care for workers and the guarantee of universal benefits to everyone regardless of pre-existing conditions, are now objectionable to conservatives like Perry, who has said he wants to use an executive order to dismantle "Obamacare."
Asked if Perry would have considered "commendable" those goals, which were public at the time that Perry praised Clinton, Carney told NBC News that while "insiders" were speculating about the details, Perry was simply raising concerns about an important constituency.
"The letter is very clear," Carney wrote via email. "They were trying to reform health care and no one knew how awful the final product would become. Insiders may have speculated on what might come out of the process. Rural voices and concerns deserved to be included."
NBC's Marcie Rickun contributed to this report.

Fed up with how all the economic, financial and policy news out of Europe have been contributing to equity market volatility?
Well, not only will this continue but, now, we must also get ready for something new over the next few weeks: the impact of elections. Here is a quick simple guide for what to look for:
Think of this particular election cycle as starting on Sunday with the first round of the presidential elections in France, where no single candidate is expected to gain a majority. It continues in a big way on May 6th with the second round in France, as well as the Greek parliamentary elections and German regional contests. And, for now, it ends on May 31st with the Irish referendum.
In each of these contests, politicians are offering voters differing interpretations of the past and, much more importantly, different visions for the future.
This is particularly true in Greece. In this struggling economy, the contest is defined primarily between those willing to continue with the austerity program agreed between the "technocratic government" and the "troika" (consisting of the European Central Bank, European Union and the International Monetary Fund), and those that would opt for something different. For investors, it boils down to a contest between a still-challenged Greek policy approach and one that would involve even greater credit and exit risks.
Issues are more nuanced in France, the euro zone's second-largest economy. This is not because of the positions of Francois Hollande, the main challenger to President Nicolas Sarkozy. He has been constant in his commitment to seek revisions to elements of the euro zone approach to reflect less austerity and more growth. The uncertainty has to do with Sarkozy. In his attempt to catch up in the polls to Hollande, he has been altering his narrative and making new promises.
If President Sarkozy fails in his re-election bid, German Chancellor Angela Merkel will lose her most important ally at the core of the Europe – thereby complicating her attempts to strengthen the institutional and economic underpinnings of the euro zone. This may explain her decision to take the unusual step of essentially campaigning for Sarkozy. And it comes at a time when many are looking at the regional elections in Germany for indicators as to whether Merkel will be able to continue to govern after next year's national elections.
Then there is the Irish referendum. In what constitutes a first highly visible test, the government is seeking the electorate's approval for the new European Fiscal Compact.
What should markets look for? For presentational simplicity, let us assume that you happen to be one of the very few people out there who limits your preferences only, and I stress only, to how your investments would be impacted. So, in simple aggregate terms:
• If you are long risk assets of any kind, and especially if you are max long, you would prefer a Sarkozy re-election in France, the emergence of a stable coalition of the major traditional parties in Greece, regional German elections that are supportive of Merkel, and the passing of the Irish referendum;
• If you are short risk assets and/or looking to add, you would prefer a win by Hollande, an ambiguous electorate outcome in Greece, setbacks for Merkel, and the rejection by Irish voters of the European changes; and
• For outcomes in between, you would need to add many months of political posturing to the other European elements that contribute to swings between risk on and risk off days in markets.
At times, elections can lead to uncertainties and, for investors, to a changing configuration of opportunities and risks. We are entering such a phase in Europe.
In addition to their consequential national impact, the series of forthcoming elections involve cross-border implications that influence prospects for regional policy coordination and, therefore, the nature and speed of the solutions for Europe's debt crisis.

When historians write the history of the development of our political ideas and institutions this past quarter century, they would be amply justified to label it "an unexpected revolution." For beginning in the early 1990s, there has been a proliferation of new practices and institutions, even professions: humanitarian interventions, the responsibility to protect, truth and reconciliation commissions, international war tribunals and the international criminal court, to name the most obvious. The old liberal idea of peace as the cessation of conflict, the negotiation of peace agreements, peace monitoring (or peacekeeping) has given way to a more positive conception–and practice–of peace with reconstruction, development, resettlement, trauma care and healing dialogues between victims and offenders. Even the positive conception of peace is bursting at the margins with both practitioners and theorists urging that genuine peacemaking requires more, especially forgiveness and reconciliation.
In a tour de force, Notre Dame political theorist Daniel Philpott has elaborated a rich ethic for reconciliation as the overarching principle of justice that will undergird peace in the emerging international order. The ground-breaking novelty of Philpott's proposal lies in his starting-point, not a traditional or contemporary theory of justice, but the multiplicity and variety of wounds (injustices) men and women suffer in divided societies and international wars as well as the great variety of practices and institutions that have grown up in recent years to heal them. Much of the book is concerned with responding to alternative and critical views to the reconciliation paradigm; but the most persuasive element in the argument is the inventory of injustice done in conflict and the remedies for them. Only reconciliation, if only partially and gradually, can secure a healing peace.
Philpott argues, moreover, that this ethic coincides with an overlapping consensus between secular and religious (Jewish, Christian and Muslim) traditions on reconciliation making it feasible to gather both popular and elite support in bringing peace to divided societies. Just and Unjust Peace is a book for ethicists, philosophers, lawyers and theologians, but its rigor should not deter peace practitioners and even interested amateurs. It can be read with profit by all, and, one may hope, will contribute to the fulsome peace Philpott holds out for our realization.

i've been reading a few topics on making a good tomato sauce. Is the conclusion i get to in the topic the right one? If I am able to get true DOP San Marzano peeled tomatoes, maybe a pinch of seasalt will suffice (after crushing by hand/potato masher). If I were to use other type of canned tomatoes though, it is advisable to add a blend of herbs.Also, while i've read not to brend/process the DOP tomatoes, is it okay to do this with other types? I'm not trying to start a big discussion (i've already seen one). The only thing is that my previous sauce was a bit watery. Maybe just draining the sauce would be enough. Any advice?
I almost never use SM tomatoes any more. I've found the Cento Italian (the ones in the 35oz can) to be consistently better than the SM brands I have readily available.
My problem is that I have a horrible choice in brands here. Basically there are two types of tomatoes I can choose from in my main supermarket. Heinz peeled and some no-brand tomatoes. As of yet I do not have a food mill, might buy this in the future. Thank you for your tip, I might drive past a few supermarkets on my way home from work today and see if I can find something which looks interesting. Can't wait to start this weekend Edit: I guess I have to start trying out different types and seeing which ones taste best. The DOP are hard enough to get as-is (have to order them online and are 3.5 usd for 14.1 oz)
Ahh thanks but I should have said that I am in The Netherlands, and we see about 1% of the brands you guys have over there in the USA
I used these tomatoes on my last bake, and I have to admit they were embarrassingly good. At half the price of SM, they were equal to, if not better than, most of the DOP I buy on a regular basis as well.John
If I recall correctly, the ones in my local supermarket have a basil leaf in the can. Is that the same or different than the ones you like? Thx.
Oops, sorry. I should probably mention that I don't know what a NY style is, Neapolitan, or whatever it happens to be labeled. Pizza is still just pizza to me. Sauce, cheese , and dough. I hope to learn more as I go.
I've been following Varasano's method.http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htmWith a typical can of Cento Certified, I place all the contents in a mesh strainer over a bowl. This allows the watery liquid to drain off.I hand process each tomato by getting the seeds, removing the top and core, and putting the flesh in a bowl. The seeds and remaining parts remain in the mesh stariner and continue to drain excess liquid.When I am done processing the flesh, I take a silicone spatula and squeeze out the remaing goop through the mesh strainer and stick in the bowl with the processed flesh.Then I had 1 tsp of sea salt, about 1 TBS of EVOO, and about 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and then lightly blend with an immersion blender. Like Jeff says on it the site, it changes the flavor somewhat versus hand-crushing the tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap when finished.Do this a minimum of 6 hours before making pizza.Amazing sauce!
Do you also follow the method of using a clean cycle on an electric oven to get high temps?

text: Hit the Bull's Eye When Switching Corn Hybrid Maturity May 22, 2013 06:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email Corn Agronomy Blog by Wisconsin University The 2013 corn growing season is off to its slowest start in a long time. Due to the slow start, especially for farmers in northern Wisconsin, many are considering whether they need to switch corn hybrid maturities. In the north, we really only have one opportunity to switch maturity and still have the potential for grain yield. In southern Wisconsin, we may have two opportunities to switch hybrid maturity. In Wisconsin each Relative Maturity (RM) unit increases grain yield 1.9 bu/A. So farmers often try to select hybrids that are full-season because they offer the best yield potential. The trade-off is that full-season hybrids are often wetter during fall harvest increasing production costs due to higher grain moisture and greater drying/energy cost (Figure 1). On optimal planting dates grain yield of full-season hybrids is usually greater than shorter-season hybrids. However, the rate of yield decline is faster for full-season hybrids, so that by about May 24 the grain yield of shorter season hybrids is then greater than full-season hybrids for planting in late May and early June. What further complicates this management decision is that grain moisture of shorter-season hybrids is nearly always drier than full-season hybrids. Dryer grain produced by shorter-season hybrids has implications for production costs of two different maturities. Quite a bit of year-to-year variability can exist on a farm. Table 1 describes maximum yield dates and rate of yield loss for full-season hybrids described previously and includes data for shorter-season hybrids. On average maximum grain yield was about 16 bu/A greater for full-season hybrids. In some years the date when maximum yield occurs is earlier for shorter-season hybrids, but on average is similar between full- (April 28) and shorter-season (April 30) hybrids. Full-season hybrids lose on average about 1.6 bu/A per day in late May compared to only 1.0 bu/A per day for shorter-season hybrids. So when considering grain yield only, the time to switch corn hybrid maturity between full- and shorter-season hybrids ranges between May 1 and June 2 with the average at May 24. In 2009, a very cool year, the shorter season hybrid always had greater yield than the full-season hybrid. But grain yield isn't the only factor in this management decision (Table 2). Both grain price and drying costs must also be factored into the economics as described previously. Currently energy costs are about $1.60 to $2.00 per gallon for liquid propane. So if we figure a corn price of $5.00 to $6.00 per bushel, then our hybrid maturity switch date using the above data would be May 17 to May 19. As corn price increase maturity switch dates become later. Conversely, as drying cost increase maturity switch dates become earlier. UWEX recommends the following general guidelines when considering switching corn hybrid maturity. For the next few days, if the weather is good and your fields are fit, proceed with planting the hybrids you have in hand. When using these guidelines, please remember that growing season, site and management influence a particular hybrid's actual days to maturity. Although the penalty for late planting is important, growers also need to be careful to avoid tillage when soil is too wet. Yields may be reduced somewhat this year, but effects of soil compaction can reduce yields for several years to come. Your decision to switch hybrid maturity depends upon: Desire to accept risk: Longer season hybrids offer the highest yield potentials, but may also increase drying costs and/or delay harvest. Potential use: For dry grain, relative maturities should be shorter-season within the maturity range for the latest acceptable planting date. For ear corn, high moisture corn, and silage, relative maturities should be longer-season within the maturity range for the latest acceptable planting date. Field conditions: Shorter-season hybrids within the maturity range for the latest acceptable planting date should be selected when field conditions include heavy crop residue, reduced tillage, and heavy soil textures. Hybrid dry down and grain quality characteristics: Longer-season hybrids within the latest acceptable planting dates should have fast grain dry-down and high test weight characteristics. Ease of trading original hybrids for superior shorter-season alternatives. Literature Cited Lauer, J. 1997. Corn Replant/Late-Plant Decisions in Wisconsin. UWEX 3353.

Recently, I have been helping many artists edit their artist's statement as required for submission to most juried exhibition and grant applications. My mantra: LESS IS MORE. Just as you would edit your work tightly for submission, edit your words tightly as well. While may such guidelies will allow "one page" I recall a colleague wishing that "one sentence, plue one paragraph of 100 words" be the maxiumum allowed. For me, a successful artist's statement is one that that is so intriquing that it makes me truly want to see the work… an example: Sanf Francisco-based artist Vicki Topaz's statement for Portfolio One: Interiors, which you can read on her website. Your statement essentially serves the same purpose as introductory wall copy at the start of an exhibition; it is your opportunity to bring all of our attention to your work. At this fall's CREATIVE EDGE event "The Long-Term Photographic Project" organized by the Santa Fe Center for Photography, ERIC MILES from Photo-Eye Bookstore and a contributing author to the Photo-Eye Booklist gave an outstanding session on artists statements, sharing successful examples of statements/images. Eric added the value of placing your work in context as well – historical references and even kinship to contemporary artists. But lastly – remember the most important thing: ultimately, it is all about the work. Push yourself and your work to cross creative boundaries and find your voice, then share it with others.

A well-designed place doesn't just look good; it feels good, sounds good and smells good. Yet we often prioritize vision over the other senses. To get out of the habit of privileging vision, understand the importance of multi-sensory design, and learn how to experience the city through your non-visual senses, come on a Blindfolded Tour of Toronto!
How it Works
We meet at the starting point, chat about safety and what to expect (5 mins). You don the blindfold and the walking begins. Holding onto a thin string, I guide you through a range of multi-sensory urban environments. After 50-55 minutes, you remove the blindfold and we retrace our steps while sharing insights from the walk (15mins). The tour will take about 75 minutes. Note: upon request, this tour can being at Queen & Dufferin.
More Info
Blindfolded Walking Tours are the practical application of research conducted during my Masters' in Philosophy (University of Toronto). I presented this research during a 1.5 hour seminar at the Ontario Association of Architects' Annual Conference in Hamilton and then again to the Toronto Society of Architects at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. Blindfolded Walking Tours were featured at the Toronto Offsite Design Festival (2016, 2017) where they were acclaimed by the Globe and Mail, CBC, Now Toronto, BlogTO and chosen as "expert picks" by critics from Azure and the Globe and Mail.

And Flit isn't that genocidal yet, I think he's ranted about wanting to wipe the Vagans out once or twice(and I would be surprised if je was the only guy in the army who rants about doing such in a long violent high pressure war where the other team kills a lot of your own civilians directly) but aside from that has barely shown any concrete plans to actually do that aside from just counterattacking the violent Vagan military and continuing the war.
He's hardly impulsive in actual battles, he was even pretty laid back even against Desil twice, someone who has actually done something to him personally.

The turning point was when he was about to shoot that Vagan guy in the back with a pistol. Grodeck saved him from going down that route by firing first and then paying the price for his actions in jail. That kept Flit from becoming like the Vagans who are actually committing genocide by gunning down civilians and colonies.
And another thing is is that he's no longer part of the military so where exactly is he going to get the resources to construct some death ray? He's not the professor (futurama) you know. Hell he's not even on their good side given the fact that the was literally for 50 years begging them to use the AGE system to its full extent to build better weapons to combat the Vagans. The Federation even after the purge looks down on the guy.
I can see a conflict where he may refrain Kio from being more helpful to the Vagans and that's probably where the "understanding" will come from. The Show's theme is about "three destinies coming together" and the AGE gundam is suppose to be a "saviour" so it'd fit in if it somehow ended up saving not just the Earth but Mars as well.
My only concern though is if Kio starts adopting a no-kill policy...god I hate those.

dude, you keep going on about vagan committing genocide, but Flit himself acknowledged that they could have destroyed that first colony he was living in in episode 1 by going for the energy reactors, but instead opted to let it collapse slowly so as to give them a chance to save the civilians. If they were simply after killing al the "earthers" they would not have down that...

I don't see how a "Vagans have a reason to want to return to earth, but awful awful execution led by a corrupt leader out for his own means" ending is bad, Understanding doesn't mean they sign a treaty and everything is flowers and sunshine.
It could very well be a complete beatdown of the vagan forces, and rehabilitating the vagan citizens into society because they did nothing wrong.

You could say Shinn from Destiny became some what of a villain but he was more of a lapdog for an even bigger one and wasn't even the main protagonist anymore.
And for the record as others have noted just because they have ulterior motives doesn't make it more humane. Granted they could've prevented Flit from making a stronger Gundam had Decil destroyed the flagship or the Gundam when it ran out of power but he didn't.
On that end even if Ezcelant is testing and leaving a "door" open for the Federation to crawl out of in a jam it doesn't excuse them for gunning down civilians and bombing cities.

I still think the FX gundam is based off of Victory/V-2 Gundam, especially the way the core fighter fits into the gundam, the gundam is mostly blue and white, and those "wings of light."
...Then again, Hi-Nu is also mainly blue and white, and has funnels.

I wonder if the AGE-FX's design is similar to the 00 Qanta on purpose. Because the 00Q didn't get much screen time, but we all thought it was going to be in the whole movie, and were pretty disappointed when it wasn't. I wonder if this Gundam is meant to make up for that (kinda).
Like, Kanetake Ebikawa just said "Damn it, I won't my good stuff to actually have screen time!"

by Hugh Gilmore
Last Saturday I fulfilled another item from my Walter Mitty-ish bucket list: I performed live, in a speaking role, in one of those eat-and-guess dinner party murder mysteries.
I played "Sal," a stereotyped South Philly Italian wiseguy. My wife, Janet, played "Gloria" beside me, and boy was she ever dolled up! And I'm still alive this morning to write my column, though for a while there I had my doubts. The story is worth telling here to all those who never got to see it since it was "Sold Out" weeks in advance.
The show is called "A Wedding to Die For." It's produced, written and directed by Diana Finegold and Richard Seiden, both Chestnut Hill residents with New York roots. After successfully producing such shows in New York and New England for years, they formed The Wild Thyme Players when they moved down here to Chestnut Hill three years ago.
This latest production is described as a "GUESS WHODUNIT at this wild and wacky Italian-Jewish wedding where the MOB…MATRIMONY…& MURDER form an unholy trinity of Thrills, Chills, and Giggles."
The show was performed at Scoogi's Italian Restaurant at 738 Bethlehem Pike in Flourtown.
Okay. That's the background. Here's how I got involved. The first thing you should know is that this whole play-acting thing is not my thing. I'm a behind-the-scenes guy. It's not easy to be out front. I've never acted in a show before a live audience of paying grownups.
It starts out like this. My son Andrew's dream in life is "to make people laugh." From the time he was a little boy, when asked what he wanted to be in life, he said, "I want to make people laugh."
As a parent you start to say, "That's not a very worthy ambition," or "That won't feed a family of four very much, will it?" and then you hold back and think: Gee, I don't know, maybe it is a worthy ambition. People sure could use a laugh.
Andrew used to be part of the Thursday morning Play Reading class at the Chestnut Hill Enrichment Center. When Diana Finegold first moved down here, she, too, sat in on that class. After a while both of them stopped attending for various reasons, but Diana remembered Andrew had a facility for doing comic accents well.
When she was casting for "A Wedding to Die For" she remembered Andrew and invited him to audition. He got the part of "Maestro," a vain, hyper, over-dressed, zany Italian wedding planner. He brought to the role every funny Marx Brothers walk, talk, shrug, double take and shameless self-promotional shtick he'd ever learned. The cast cracked up every night all through rehearsals – as did the audience on show night.
Andrew doesn't drive because he has vision problems left over from being born as a two-pound preemie. So Janet and I shared taxiing him. Janet's expertise as a costumer with Chestnut Hill's Stagecrafters theater was known to Diana Finegold, and soon "one little favor with a hem" was followed by two little favors and ultimately by Janet becoming costumer for the show. I had little to offer – fortunately, because a theater production needs probably more than a hundred hours of prep and rehearsal time (per person) for every hour spent on stage. I was very busy with my writing life, most notably with the book launch our wonderful literary center, Musehouse, had offered me.
You can run, but you can't hide. On Monday a week ago Diana Finegold called and asked me if I was coming to the show. Of course.
"Could you say some things from the audience during the show"? she asked.
Of course.
The next day I called her and asked what I had to say? "Oh just a few lines here and there."
"Well, do I stand up to say them? Do I say them to a particular person? Am I just myself?"
"No, you're a mob guy. And yes, you stand."
"Oh, okay. Do I use a mob voice?"
"Yes, of course. And then you just pull out your gun and point it."
My gun? I don't have a gun. I don't like guns. I don't want to be seen with a gun. How do I get out of this? I said, "I point my gun? I don't want to point a gun. You should get someone else for this role."
"The person I had was not reliable. The show opens in four days. Don't worry about pointing the gun. Before you get to shoot it someone comes and tackles you."
"Tackles me?" Nuh uh.
So we worked it out. Just as I reach for my gun in my breast pocket, I'm restrained. What's that? Rehearsal every night? What a big pain in the neck. Secretly, it was kind of thrilling. Live dinner theater. What would it be like?
The main cast had been rehearsing for six weeks. They were a lively, attractive and interesting group of people. I joined them last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. Friday was an off day. On Saturday everyone came in at 3 p.m. for a 6:30 curtain.
Rehearsals are a form of mental torture. The play lacks all continuity. People forget cues, lines, entrances, exits. The blocking is askew. We rarely play five minutes straight without a flub, leading to a conference. One thing constant: Andrew as "Maestro" cracks them up every scene.
To dress as "Sal," I dug out my only pair of black shoes (bought for my mother's funeral six years ago and closeted since). Wore my black wool jacket, dark pants, a dark Lycra zip-neck shirt (a gym shirt, really).
I used hair product to comb my hair straight back and up a little, a "Mob-do." (My sister, Gilly, told me later, "I liked your hair that way. It's much better than that flat way you usually wear it." Thanks.)
By Saturday I'd reached the level of drowned confidence that arrives when you know your lines if you could play the role alone, before the bathroom mirror, but forget them if other people are in the vicinity. I try to reassure myself by saying that the important thing is to remember the essence of what I have to say. Then I can improvise a little, but still say the gist of the scene.
I can't remember the gist either, though. And what's more, the other actors are waiting to cue off certain specific words I should say. Almost everyone in the cast takes me aside at a certain point to tell me this.
The audience will be seated starting at 6. At 5:30, Janet and I resort to writing our lines on cards we'll hide under our dinner plates. We're supposed to pretend to be members of the audience/wedding party, merrily eating supper until we pop up and make wise.
At 5:50. I lose confidence in the cheat sheets. I borrow scissors and cut my highlighted speeches from the script and hide them on the floor near my shoe. This is awful. These people, Diana, Richard, Andrew, the rest of the cast, have worked so hard for so long and I'm going to make this show look embarrassingly amateurish.
At 6:10, the crowd starts arriving. Table after table fills up. Holy moley, a guy just walked in who looks more like "Sal" than I ever could. Wait, there's another one over there. And over there. Oh boy, I'm not only going to fluff my lines, I'm going to tick them off with my half-baked, "Sopranos"-borrowed, imitation of a mobbed-up wiseguy.
By 6:30, everyone's happy. Everyone's eating the table bread, enjoying the wine. Starting to get a little tanked. The energy is high. I'm sitting like a monk reciting vespers to his god, my lips mumbling, my head nodding, trying to get my lines straight.
Wham, bam. The wedding march. The procession starts. A shot rings out. Chaos. Crime solving begins. The show marches forward, moving smoothly. The cast looks beautiful, polished, funny. The laughs come where they're supposed to. The gasps too. The action is moving relentlessly forward, towards Act Three, where I will have six different little pop-up scenes. Act Three seems too near and oh so far away.
And, both too soon and too late, it finally arrives. My cues move closer. The world starts spinning. I am frozen in time. And then, Bada Boom, Bada Bing!: I'm saying a speech that ends with the words, "Bada Boom, Bada Bing!" I'm over and out. Nobody's throwing fruit or rotten vegetables. Only five more Double Dutch jump-ins to go.
I blink and it's over. And the audience loves it. Everyone's smiling and clapping. And the curtain call comes and the actors take their bows. I stand in the back, to the side. My name is announced. I nod and wave my hand and quickly melt back behind the real actors.
But now, and forever, I can say I performed with good actors in a real show, before a live audience of grownups, who paid admission on a Saturday night, and I know to my own small degree what it's like. It was intoxicating while it lasted.
"A Wedding to Die For" will be performed again on Feb. 18. Same time, same station. Reservations must be made in advance. The show will probably sell out again by the end of this week.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 7, 2008) - The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics will dedicate Summers-Taylor Stadium to the Summers family prior to the men's soccer game against Radford Saturday at noon.
The Summers family - which includes Rab and Nita, along with their children Lena and Grant, as well as the entire Summers-Taylor, Inc., family - provided the financial backing to make ETSU's new soccer stadium a reality. Summers-Taylor Stadium is the second of three new athletic facilities on campus, joining the Warren-Greene Golf Center, which was completed in 2004, and the new softball stadium which is scheduled for completion in mere days.
The Bucs (5-10-1, 1-7-1 A-Sun) come into the match having dropped their last three matches to Campbell, Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson. The Bucs are led offensively by Sean Hoek (Newburgh, Ind.) who has three game-winning-goals and seven points on the season.
The Highlanders (7-9-2, 3-4-1 Big South) have lost two of their last three falling to VMI and Elon, while earning a draw against Coastal Carolina at home. Radford is led by freshman Iyiola Awosika who has six goals and 12 points including two game-winning-goals.
Please visit www.ETSUBucs.com for more information on men's soccer or any other Buccaneer athletic news.

The Original All Weather Pool By Arctic Spas
Swim all year, hot tub all year, entertain the kids all year, and save A LOT of money compared to buying a traditional swimming pool.
And on top of all that, it is easy to install; no digging, no contractors, no special equipment. It simply cranes into place and its ready to fill with water. And because its an Arctic Spa, it is extremely efficient to run; you may not even notice an increase in your electrical bill, in most cases it is very little per day to operate. The core design is virtually identical to our world famous hot tubs, which delivers extreme energy efficiency, low maintenance, and advanced control technology.
Work out, relax, or splash around: these pools are perfect for large groups or a solitary soak. They are also referred to as swim spas, but these are in a league of their own, deserving of a distinct name: we call them all weather pools.
Arctic Spas Swim Spa Range
Hudson Swim Spa
The Hudson offers an entry level resistance swim system in the form of the Monsoon Counter Current Swim System and two therapy seats.
The Monsoon System can be used in conjunction with the Tether Resistance Swim System to serve multiple levels of fitness in addition to climate-defying family fun.
Kingfisher Swim Spa
For the user in need of unobstructed space for fitness, the Kingfisher features the longest and widest swim zone with stairs only on the left-hand side for inconspicuous access.
As with any All Weather Pool with the Niagara Counter Current Swim System, it includes lighting to assist users' alignment while swimming in turbulent conditions.
Wolverine Swim Spa
The Wolverine is uncompromising in every way. With both a ful-length swim zone and two therapy seats, it is a perfect blend of performance and therapy.
Both the Niagara Counter Current Swim System and the maximum number of therapeutic jets possible solidify the Wolverine as the best All Weather Pool available.
Ocean Swim Spa
The Ocean includes maximum luxury in the form of more swim spa features than the other All Weather Pools.
The Ocean's therapeutic potential is enriched by its customizability in the form of multiple available jet configurations.
Athabascan Swim Spa
The Athabascan is the purest representation of the All Weather Pool. With the largest open water area in the All Weather Pool range, the Athabascan provides the maximum amount of room for relaxation and fun.
Movement in and out of the pool is facilitated by the simple moulded steps, and a slightly elevated area at the front of the tub gives little ones a break from deep-water activities. The Athabascan is the family backyard pool that is available year round – always the perfect temperature and just steps from your home.
Okanagan Swim Spa
Arctic Spas is known for two things – making the best cold weather spas on the planet, and having a good time wherever we are.
When we travel to a tropic location, a must-have is a swim up bar! Even better, leave the hassles of travel behind, and enjoy our newest All Weather Pool, the Okanagan.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by remembering one of the winningest coaches in Tennessee State athletic history.
John B. McLendon, Jr. (April 15, 1915 - October 8, 1999) is noted as one of the most successful high school and college coaches in the sport of basketball.
McLendon coached at schools such as Tennessee State A&I University North Carolina College, the Hampton Institute, Kentucky State College, and Cleveland State University.
While at North Carolina College, McLendon coached in the "Secret Game", the first collegiate basketball contest where blacks and whites competed on the same floor (North Carolina College and Duke).
He was a three-time winner of the NAIA Coach of the Year award, and won three consecutive NAIA championships at Tennessee State, making him the first college basketball coach ever to have won three consecutive national titles. When he was hired at Cleveland State in 1966, he became the first African American basketball coach ever at a predominantly white university.
McLendon also coached professionally, when Cleveland Pipers General Manager, Mike Cleary hired him to be the head coach of the American Basketball League team which was owned by George Steinbrenner. McLendon's hiring made history, as he became the first African-American head coach in professional sports. In his, and the Pipers, only season in the league, the team captured the league championship. McLendon later went on to coach the American Basketball Association's Denver Rockets.
TSU thought so highly of McLendon that the school dedicated its basketball court to the legendary coach in 1992 when the Tigers hosted Eastern Kentucky.
McLendon was first inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a "contributor", not as a coach. He was, however, selected in 2007 for the second entering class of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame for his coaching achievements. He was also inducted into the Tennessee State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1983 and the Cleveland State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007, where his wife Joanna accepted the award on his behalf.
A biography of John B. McLendon, Breaking Through: John B. McLendon, Basketball Legend and Civil Rights Pioneer, by Milton S. Katz, was published in 2007. McLendon's coaching legacy is also chronicled in the documentary "Black Magic", which originally aired as a two-part series on ESPN in March 2008.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.
