Huh? He was Bronze 100 & 200 in '08 Olympics, and Silver 100 & 200 in '11 worlds. Dude knows how to run...
And Lauryn Williams has WC gold and OG silver at the 100m. I don't expect to ever see her back on the medal stand.
The competition(especially) from Jamaica has since passed these athletes.
That's a terrible comparison....Lauryn Williams was competing with the top athletes in the world before Dix even stepped foot at Florida State. She has way more miles...
Dix has made a steady and consistent improvement over the years and the only things that has slowed him is injury. When he is healthy....consider him a threat for any medal in a 200m race.

Not to Mention a Sparkling New Venue, Aimed at Reducing Lines
By Seth Cagin
TELLURIDE - A few days before the start of the 40th Telluride Film Festival, founding co-director Tom Luddy was understandably feeling a little nostalgic.
In its first year, the festival was attended by 250 people. This year, he observed, there are three times that many staff.
"How improbable was it that Bill and Stella Pence, after moving to the area, would discover the Sheridan Opera House and decide to host a film festival there?" Luddy said. "There was no other film festival in the world in such an unlikely place, totally remote and with no infrastructure. But it turned out to be the best place to hold a film festival, and we've proved it by sustaining it for 40 years."
It would certainly be easier to hold a festival in a location with easy and affordable access and plenty of existing venues and hotel accommodations, not to mention a sizable local population from which to draw an audience. Instead, the TFF has been creating and building and disassembling temporary theaters, coaxing an audience to travel the long distance for three days of deep immersion in movies, and establishing an unassailable reputation as one of the best places in the world to premiere not just an arthouse movie, but a movie without obvious commercial appeal that could break out.
For its 40th anniversary the festival this year is a day longer, four days instead of the usual three, largely, co-director Julie Huntsinger said this week, to honor the three founders, Luddy, and the Pences, who will be attending the festival for the first time since retiring seven years ago. Characteristically, the Pences planned their retirement carefully and quietly to ensure that the festival would continue to thrive without them, and part of that planning was the choice to stay away for a number of years to allow their replacements, Huntsinger and Gary Meyer, time to establish their own leadership. Even this year, the Pences will refrain from taking any formal role the program, although it is a safe bet they will be greeted by old friends everywhere they go.
In addition to honoring the three founders with an extra day and special events at this year's festival, the TFF is presenting a number of anniversary gifts to its audience and to the Town of Telluride. Last night, the festival presented a free concert by Punch Brothers in Town Park, an event tied to one of its three tributes this year. The tribute is not just to the Coen brothers, whose new movie, Inside Llewyn Davis, will have its U.S. premiere, but, in a typical Telluride twist on how to do a tribute in a less-than-obvious way, to the Coens' musical collaboration with songwriter and producer T. Bone Burnett.
The other two tributes are to Robert Redford – who, to judge from reviews out of Cannes, gives the performance of his career in All Is Lost, in which he is the only cast member, and barely speaks – and to Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof, whose political thriller Manuscripts Don't Burn was shot without permission and in secrecy in defiance of a 20-year ban from filmmaking and travel outside of Iran.
On the infrastructure front, these programs (and many others, of course) will be showing in a sparkling new venue, named in honor of one of the festival's earliest tributees and most frequent guests, Werner Herzog. The Werner Herzog Theater is a demonstration of the TFF's magic, that now transforms an ice rink in Telluride Town Park into a state-of-the-art cinema, with 650 seats, making it as large as the Palm.
Creating the $1.8 million venue (with $1 million from the Town of Telluride, $75,000 from San Miguel County, and the rest from the festival) was an enormous undertaking, financially and logistically, for the purpose of addressing one of the festival's recent challenges, which ironically has been the fervor of its audience, Huntsinger said. The festival directors have noticed that in recent years passholders attend more movies per day than they used to, perhaps four or five instead of three, which has led to longer lines at venues and perhaps an unfortunate degree of anxiety for passholders who worry they might be shut out of screenings or miss programs they especially want to see. Adding the huge new venue – and its 650 seats – without increasing the number of passholders, is "intended to restore a sense of calm," Huntsinger explained. "Hopefully this will lead to shorter lines and enhanced flow."
More calm, perhaps, but the festival will still present passholders with tough choices. On Friday evening, for example, you might go to "Story Night at Brigadoon," where festival guests will tell stories, in the spirit of The Moth, especially written for the event. The storytellers include Joyce Maynard, Buck Henry, Jason Reitman, Gregory Nava, Tamara Jenkins, Michael Fitzgerald, and, most intriguingly, Teller of Penn and Teller. Will Teller speak?
But if you want to find out, you will miss Francis Ford Coppola presenting the Chilean film Locations: Searching for Rusty James, in Elks Park, followed by a screening of Coppola's own Rumblefish. There are many twists behind this event: First, Coppola, who received a tribute at the very first Telluride Film Festival, is here to support his granddaughter, 27-year-old Gia Coppola, for the premiere of her first feature, Palo Alto, an adaptation of stories by James Franco (who will also be here). Locations is about the popularity of Rumblefish in Chile and Argentina, and to revive Rumblefish here, in Telluride, may just be in keeping with another TFF specialty, which is to say the belated recognition of a film that was not fully appreciated in its time (except, of course in Chile and Argentina). Yes, there is a lot for a cineaste to chew on: the backstory as rich, perhaps, as the films themselves.
If searching out the lost or forgotten masterpiece is your passion, six previous TFF guest directors have each created one program this year. These "all-star" guest directors specialize in defying expectations, and all six of these programs are free and open to the public.
While Coppola was one of the TFFs first three tributees, Werner Herzog was a tributee at the second TFF, and this year Herzog receives not only a theater in his name, but will be represented by two hour long documentaries on the program, in what is becoming his "Death Row" series, following last year's Into the Abyss. That tip comes from Luddy.
Working your way through the rich program, tips from the two other directors: From Huntzinger, a recommendation to catch Under the Skin at 11:45 at night, when it receives its first screening, because, Huntzinger says, "there is something about the film" – which defies description, she later explained – "that will make it especially powerful then." It's from director Jonathan Glazer, who directed Sexy Beast, and is science fiction and must be seen on the big screen. Hmmmm. And from Meyer: "All of the documentaries," from The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden to Tim's Vermeer to The Unknown Known, because "filmmakers keep coming up with new ways to tell stories, and you've never seen anything like them."
All this and some of the best might not yet have even been announced. Last year, recall, Argo, which went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture, was a previously unannounced sneak preview.

Im having a little trouble with the IDirect3DDevice9::Present function, in regards to its speed. Im calling it with all parameters set as NULL (there have been no swapchains created ot anything like that), but when I time this function, it is taking, on average 0.008 seconds to conplete…
Now this might not seem slow, but it means that, even when my loop is doing nothing else, I can still only have a maximum frame rate of 125 fps. I am running on an Athlon 2Ghz+ with 1GB of RAM and a GeForce4 Ti 4200, so as you can expect, I would think I should be getting more than 125fps max!
Has anyone else has any probelms with this function running below par? If you did, how did you solve it?

Those are JTR Triple8 LP (Low Profile). You can find more info on their specs here
The middle driver is a Midrange driver. Mounted behind the dust cap of the midrange driver is a compression driver (tweeter). See Pic below from JTR Website:
Here's some more info taken from the JTR website that goes along with the image above.
"Our Triple loudspeakers are designed to provide uniform coverage using acoustic, physical and electrical properties. Drivers and crossover components have group delay which is often over looked. Our Triple loudspeakers optimally position the drivers for minimum group delay differences.
The typical horn suffers from pattern flip and lobing because of varying lengths, corners and asymmetrical design. The symmetrical, conical high frequency wave guide of our Triple loudspeakers provides an identical path in all directions to solve the problems of typical horns.
The interaction of drivers is critical to the off axis response because of the destruction caused by physical dimensions. Our Triple loudspeaker uses specific crossover points appropriate to driver size and location. The meticulous engineering of our Triple loudspeaker yields great results for a variety of applications."
You can learn more about JTR speakers on this forum on the JTR Thread.
They can handle a ton of power, are very clean/clear sounding and extremely dynamic.
Here's a link to my review I did on them a while back.

Seen here, at the Brussels auto show is the first sight of the F30 3 series M Sport looking great with the optional Style 403M 19″ wheels and the blue M sport brakes that we've been mentioning. As we just posted about, it hasn't yet been decided whether the blue M Sport brakes will be a part of the M Sport Package or optional.
Also being displayed with this F30 M Sport model are some BMW Performance and M Performance – an M Performance alcantara dashboard cover with carbon fiber fabric trim, a performance flat bottom alcantara steering wheel with red center marker, and performance racing pedals. Some F30 exterior BMW M Performance and Performance parts were spotted for the first time just yesterday. See inside … CONTINUED
For BMW, the BMW 3 Series is the focus of attention at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). The sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series Sedan is world's best-selling premium car. Have a look at the wide range and the different lines, together with BMW Group Chief Designer Adrian van Hooydonk.
We haven't seen the long wheelbase F30 since our most recent spy photos from last July, but it's now been revealed in China. Seen here is a 335Li, which will be manufactured in China for sale only in China (like all new F30s for the Chinese market) and provides for more spacious backseat area with more legroom. The BMW 3-series Li will debut at the Beijing Autoshow in April 2012.
From a dealer presentation event for BMW Performance Parts come the first views of the BMW Performance parts for the F30 3 series. Both the M Sport and non-M Sport accessories are seen here.
Parts we can see include carbon fiber splitters, carbon fiber front lip, gloss kidney grilles, 19″ wheels, performance racing stripes, and painted rear bumper diffuser.
On the standard F30, you can see the BMW Performance sideskirts and gloss black wheels with red pinstripes.
Expect a whole host of the standard types of BMW Performance parts – brakes, mirror covers, software tune, suspension, etc. once the F30 BMW Performance parts catalog is officially announced.
Here's another highlight of the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), the Active Hybrid 3.
Seen here in Modern Line configuration, the Active Hybrid 3 combines BMW's smooth 3.0l N55 inline 6 and an electric motor for a maximun output of 335hp and 450Nm. It does 0-62kph in less than 5.9 seconds and returns 37 miles to the gallon. To further improve mpg there's also an intelligent navigation system to optimize your routes for a hybrid. Unlike other hybrids the Actibe Hybrid 3 doesn't compromise boot capacity too much (390 liters).
There's no word on pricing yet, but if the just-announced pricing for the Active Hybrid 5 is any hint we'd expect it to be in the ballpark of $ 50,000. The Active Hybrid 3 will … CONTINUED
We're here live at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) where the star of the BMW display this year, the 2012 BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30), has just made its North American debut.
On display so far is a base model (no lines) F30 328i in arctic silver, a 335i luxury line, and a 328i sport line. We're told that the M Sport will be hitting the floor a bit later so we'll try to snag some photos when it makes its appearance.
The F30′s official launch to market comes in just over a month – on February 11th. While the full F30 online configurator with pricing hasn't yet launched, we're told that it should be up by next week.
For now, we have plenty of resources for you … CONTINUED
Here's the first glance of the BMW display at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) which begins this upcoming Monday! As you can see here, the 2012 F30 3 series will be by far the main attraction at this year's exhibit. Stay tuned as we bring complete coverage from the show next week! Photo courtesy of Autospies.
Less than a week away from its US debut at the 2012 Detroit NAIAS, the F30 sightings have increased. Spotted on the streets of Germany is this alpine white base F30 and at the BMWNA HQ in New Jersey was a sport line F30 in red.

When it comes to fruits and vegetables, the popular idea has been that fresh is always better. However, as FOX Medical Team's Deena Centofanti explains, what's in the freezer aisle at the grocery store may sometimes be better.
The idea is that the fruits and vegetables in the produce section may not be as "fresh" as you think. Some stores use those fine mist sprayers to give them that "just picked" look, but the reality is that sometimes those fruits and veggies have been held in storage for a month before you buy it. Then it sits in your fridge days before you eat it. Not so fresh after all.
On the other hand, according to the studies, the vegetables and fruits sold in the frozen section are usually chilled soon after harvest and retain higher vitamins and antioxidants until they're eaten.
Two teams, one from Leatherhead Food Research and another from the University Of Chester in the United Kingdom, carried out 40 tests to compare nutrient levels in produce sitting in a fridge for three days versus the frozen equivalent.
They found that frozen broccoli, carrots and sprouts had higher levels of Vitamin C, lutein and beta-carotene. While the studies were independent, they were funded by the British Frozen Food Federation, which speaks for the UK frozen food industry producers.

About Christopher
Hit the nail on the head there. The U.K. and the United States are trying to put jail time on expressing a differing viewpoint from the government on some subjects.
That is totally wrong, the right to free speech should be sacrosanct as should the right to say things that people do not like hearing.
That they are trying to stifle free speech and stifle people dissenting with others on various subjects.
I.E. don't talk about homosexuality or you will be put in prison. Don't talk about interracial marriage or you will be put in prison.
Analogue to those hits from our past.
Or talking anywhere period.... which is going to be a non-starter in the real world. The fact is that, contrary to popular belief, most people do not speak any louder into a phone than they do talking to a person beside them.
It will be thrown out by the Supreme Court. These idiots need to realize that banning something just because of a personal dislike for it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
It's not going to get past the Supreme Court and probably most lower courts, period and done with.
Some companies would like to disagree with you on that. I.E. the companies who try to sue over older NES-PS2 era games being uploaded online and made available for no cost or just donations for server fees.
Yes quite.... I've lost quite a few NES cartridges to 'contact rot' as I call it where the contacts after a period of years get this gunk on them, even if you clean the contacts every month.
Umm.... no. The PS2 emulators for computer that I have seen have 'issues' with various games... not rendering shadows properly, having the wrong textures/colors for various things, etc.
The Saturn emulators out there are touchy as well and have issues.
Really, I don't understand why these device makers do not make emulators for their systems after they stop selling their systems. Is it that hard to do? I'd have to say "No" considering that non-company hackers can do it, by and large.
Bingo, mad. Consoles usually only last 10 years, tops with the hardware and even the game carts/discs before they are irreparably damaged due to scratches or other things.
We need to backup those things to a computer system that is more difficult to damage in order to not lose a lot of games to disc rot and console damage.
Personally, I feel it is past time to make console manufacturers release ALL their documents and make their own emulator that works on the most common OS's available at the time (I.E. today Windows 7+, iOS, Android, OSX) so that we do not lose a bunch of cultural advancements.
There already are fully functional emulators for that system.
The systems that have fully functional (can play almost any game) emulators are NES, SNES, Genesis and N64 (with some codicils for the last).
It's harder with the other consoles after those because they are more complex and the console makers put in 'breaker' scripts that are poorly documented except in secret company documents.
Actually, it's not our 'excess intake of carbohydrates' that is the issue. It's our sedentary and less active lifestyles that is the issue.
Thank you, Techdirt. I have been pointing this out to friends and family for years that most 'pirates' aren't really that (they are doing legal timeshifting because they have cable/satellite TV memberships) or the pirates aren't a lost sale because they don't make enough money to afford the legitimate thing in question.
Agreed with the 'after the ruling' part. No reason to pull anything before a court has made a decision or jury has made a decision on X thing.
Bingo. This is just waiting for due process to wind it's way through.
I personally feel that way too many things are patentable today. Complete software and hardware packages, fine.
Piecemeal software and hardware patents, hell no!
Actually, by the definition, snake-handling (as part of worship of something) is a religion, period and done with.
Yes, it is, because it makes it appear that the government has something to hide.
Newsflash for the 'gobmint wouldn't harm us' people out there: if the government goes to these means to take something out of public circulation, they probably do have something to hide and there might be some truth in the thing somewhere.
My Lai was called a 'conspiracy theory' until hard evidence came out that it actually happened, so don't be too willing to say that these people are nuts.
Simple, to answer the last question: We just ignore the laws.
That is all we do and if anyone tries coming after us, we hit back HARD and get the law thrown out then. It shouldn't come to that, but too often considering how freaking lazy our politicians in the world today are, it does.
True. The actions of an insane person do not prove that "The laws aren't working!" It just shows that the laws cannot prevent an insane person from killing a bunch of people if they get up and decide "Today is a good day to kill a lot of people!"
It's just impossible to stop that in the real world with more laws. With better psychological counseling and less of a 'reluctance' (albeit one rooted in history) to institutionalize someone.... that can stop these things or prevent SOME of them.
That and 'sexual predators', who are usually just some sad sap looking for pussy who is put in a situation where temptation overpowers him.
Well, part of regional blocking is that companies cannot know whether X or Y is legal in the country where they wish to sell it until going through a broad process where they ask the elected officials and legal experts whether those things are legal.
That is part of the problem today. Most things should be LEGAL unless made ILLEGAL and made illegal for a damned good reason.
People are just going to have realize, unfortunately, that underage and even overage sex slavery aren't going anywhere until society becomes much more sexually free than it is today.
Though, a lot of 'sex slavery' is women and men willingly getting involved in prostitution and the cops trying to say that they are being 'forced into it'.

7501 Lakeview Parkway, Suite 130, Rowlett, TX | Directions 7508932.910782 -96.531358
Mon. - Fri. 9am - 5pm;Sat. - Sun. CLOSED
Needed to get my son in, fortunately we were able to do so in the same day I called. The wait wasn't bad, pretty much what you'd expect and I felt Dr. Maul really took his time to educate me on my son's diagnosis. My husband has since gone in as well. We would highly recommend him!
Overall he is a good doctor and is very easy to get an appointment, their office hours are until 7:00p on weekdays and til noon or 5p on Sat.
We are always treated great by Dr.s and the staff here. It's always quick and easy, and they were pleasant and informative
I started seeing Dr. Maul after my neighbor told me to go see him. I have been 3 different times since the first of the year and I have nothing but good things to say about this office.
I've been seeing Dr. Maul for the past 7 years and he is the only physician I trust. I came to see him because my regular doctor moved further into the metroplex. Dr. Maul was not only close, but when I saw him he really listened to me and it seemed like he really cared about my problems. I havent had a different experience since. I highly recommend him.
Everyone was friendly, helpful and professional, Thank you
I arrived at 10:40 AM and had been with Dr. Calderon by 11:15, Awesome! I didn't feel the needle when my blood was drawn. It was a great experience!
This office has great staff. The waittime is short overall and we always have a good experience, they are very prompt, the Dr explains everything so that I can understand it.
My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Maul's practice for 6 years.
Dr. Maul is the BEST!! My family and I have been seeing Dr. Maul for the last 5 years and I am surprised to read some of the comments below. I have had nothing but the best experiences with him and his staff since moving to the area in 2003. I have noticed some turnover, but with each new person the attitude from front to back seems to improve. Maybe it's because I own a medium sized business and can relate to general staffing issues that I sympathize with the turnover. Also, I had an issue with my insurance company, which was frustrating, but Stacey, the office manager, walked me through it and resolved the issue on the spot. My family and I will continue to recommend and see Dr. Maul as long as we live in the area.

Placer County will hold a town hall meeting in Kings Beach Tuesday, Oct. 25 to kick off the process for updating its long-range plans for North Lake Tahoe. The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. in the North Tahoe Event Center, 8318 North Lake Blvd.
"I encourage local residents and business owners to attend, because it will be a great opportunity to learn more about the update process and how to participate fully in it," said Placer County Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery. "Public involvement is critical to make the updated plan reflect the vision residents have for their communities. This is a once-every-20-years chance to help craft a community update—I hope everyone takes this opportunity to be a part of that."
Supervisor Montgomery represents North Lake Tahoe on the Placer County Board of Supervisors.
Placer County currently has nine community plans for the Tahoe Basin. Most are joint planning documents developed about 20 years ago by the county and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA).
TRPA is in the process of updating its regional plan, and all community plans within the Tahoe Basin must be consistent with the regional plan.
Through its update process, Placer County intends to consolidate the nine plans into a single policy document with four planning areas. Each planning area will have its own distinct zoning ordinance and community-specific design guideline standards.
The planning areas are:
The county's update process involves three agencies: the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, Placer County Redevelopment Agency and TRPA.
For more information about the town hall meeting and community plan update process, contact Supervising Planner Crystal Jacobsen at 530-745-3085 or email@example.com. More information also is available online on the Tahoe Basin Community Plan webpage at www.placer.ca.gov/Departments/CommunityDevelopment/Planning.aspx

The Department of Dentistry at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center offers patients many operating room-based services. The specially equipped facilities at St. Joseph's enable dentists and dental specialists to conduct a full scope of general dentistry and dental specialty services while a patient is under general anesthesia. This service is often necessary for patients who cannot tolerate dental procedures in conventional settings, including patients who developmentally, physically or emotionally may not even be examinable while awake.
With these facilities available, dentists are able to perform thorough oral examinations, take x-rays, develop treatment plans and do oral hygiene and preventive procedures in the OR. Restorations (fillings), endodontic treatment (pulpotomies and root canals), extractions, crowns (caps) and periodontal therapy (gum treatment including surgery) are all done as needed.
The department's oral and maxillofacial surgeons treat diseases and conditions of the mouth, jaws and associated tissues of the face. Ranging from impacted teeth and tongue tie to cancer and complex craniofacial deformities. As an integral part of St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center's trauma service, our oral and maxillofacial surgeons manage the full spectrum of maxillofacial injuries such as fractures of facial bones including the jaws, cheekbones, nose, eye sockets, and forehead.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is also a key specialty in the Regional Craniofacial Center. Procedures performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons include bone grafting for patients with cleft lip and palate, distraction osteogenesis, orthognathic surgery and other reconstructive procedures involving the soft and hard tissues of the mouth and face.
Orthognathic surgery is offered not only to cleft patients, but also to individuals with jaw growth discrepancies and to adults with sleep apnea. Such reconstruction may also be required as a consequence of trauma or the removal of pathologic lesions such as cysts and benign tumors of the mouth and jaws and as part of the treatment of oral cancer.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons use cutting-edge techniques and methods including dental implants to support dental prostheses and craniofacial implants to support prosthetic facial parts including ears, eyes and noses. Bone growth factors now make it possible to guide the regeneration of bone and reduce the need for harvesting bone from sites like the rib and hip.
For additional information regarding general and pediatric dentistry, please contact: Dionne Pierce, FHC Supervisor: 973.754.4250.
For any other questions or for additional information, please contact:

Sort By :
Am I ever glad I read the reviews and decided to make this dish. It is SO GOOD!! Put the chops on the bottom and doubled the sauce, even added a few carrots that we had leftover and my husband kept saying how yummy it was. Nice for a winter comfort food dish!
My family really enjoys this. I do put the pork chops on the bottom of the pan, piling the potatoes and sauce on top of the bone-in chops. They are always tender. I love the gravy/sauce so I double it. Thanks for the recipe.
A great all-in-one meal. I added some extra seasoning to give it some more zip, but it's a really nice, simple, and hearty meal that my family enjoyed. I will definitely try the tip about putting the pork chops on the bottom next time, because they were slightly dry.
This recipe is great and so easy!! My whole gang loved it and there were no left-overs! Thanks for sharing!
This was excellent, in fact my wife texted me this morning and said that it was the best pork chop she had ever eaten! I did however do as advised and place the meat on the bottom and that kept it very moist. I also doubled the amount of sauce. YUM!!!

Short of a few U.S. presidents, how many citizens have an avenue named after them in New York City?! Recently immortalized with a street sign on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, Joanie Madden and her four Irish-American colleagues of Cherish the Ladies have been wowing street namers, audiences and music critics worldwide for 25 years. Their spirited, foot-stomping Celtic concerts garner standing — and dancing — ovations everywhere. "They are the musical equals (some would say betters) of the Chieftains. One of the finest traditional performances I've ever attended." ~ Irish Edition (Philadelphia)

Imagine yourself in the idyllic French countryside of the 1930s, where a gypsy caravan sets up camp in a field outside of town, inviting locals out for an evening's fun. The wanderers travel with a film projector, pointing it at the side of a barn. As the silent images flicker to life beneath the stars, gypsy musicians play their guitars and fiddles, matching every movement on the screen with passion, humor and virtuosity. Reviving this lost art of entertainment is Cinema Vivant, an evening of delightful classic silent films by pioneering filmmakers Ladislaw Starewicz and Charley Bowers, accompanied by the hottest live gypsy swing band on the planet, Hot Club of San Francisco. Viva la jazz manouche!

Oscar-winning composer Yuval Ron and the artists of the Yuval Ron Ensemble weave musical traditions, folk rhythms and dance from diverse Middle Eastern faiths and communities — Jewish, Christian and Muslim — into a celebration of cross-cultural harmony.

Led by Rami Be'er, one of Israel's most esteemed choreographers, the world-renowned Israeli troupe Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company combines dramatic high-energy moves in mesmerizing patterns of unison with free-flowing solos and duets. Their unique approach to full-body modern dance inspired the noted New York Times critic Anna Kisselgoff to share high praise: "...the performance of the cast and the purity of the choreography will win you over!" Stunning. Indeed.
The Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company's U.S. tour is made possible in part by a grant from Israel's Office of Cultural Affairs.

While the Performing Arts Series prides itself in bringing some of the finest performers in the world to the University of Nevada, Reno each season, occasionally an unforeseen occurrence calls for an artist to cancel a performance. If a cancellation requires us to schedule another performer, the series will always seek to substitute a comparable artist with similar credentials and performance standards within a related genre.
Performance times and venue are noted with each artist's listing. This season all performances will be held in Nightingale Concert Hall, located in the University's Church Fine Arts Building just south of 14th St. on North Virginia St.
Convenient patron drop-off areas are located in front of the Church Fine Arts Building at the Virginia St. entrance.
Parking is FREE on arts events evenings after 7 p.m. (and on weekends) in the Brian J. Whalen Parking Complex, which is north of the Church Fine Arts Building and south of Lawlor Events Center.

text: P.J. Griekspoor Archives Email Author Follow @P.J. Griekspoor Wheat Crop Got Just What It Needed Kansas Viewpoint With 3 days of rain, wheat crop is flourishing; late freeze is still a threat Published on: March 26, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print The Kansas winter wheat crop got a much-needed shot of plentiful rainfall last week and is back to emerald green and growing fast with a return to 80-degree temperatures. Now the biggest threat to a bountiful wheat harvest is a late freeze after a virtually absent winter. In some places, wheat dormancy was extremely short-lived, if it happened at all. Across south-central Kansas, about a third of the crop is already jointed, which makes it susceptible to freeze. Moisture was an issue, and become one again without more rain near heading time, but three days of widespread showers last week was just what the wheat crop needed. The Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service rated the wheat crop as 54% good to excellent as of March 18, and Kansas Wheat says the harvest prospects are the best in in the last several years.

Shamans Through Time
Jeremy Narby - Author
- Paperback: $16.95 add to cart
A survey of five centuries of writings on the world's great shamans-the tricksters, sorcerers, conjurers, and healers who have fascinated observers for centuries.Note to Readers
This collection of essays traces Western civilization's struggle to interpret and understand the ancient knowledge of cultures that revere magic men and women-individuals with the power to summon spirits. As written by priests, explorers, adventurers, natural historians, and anthropologists, the pieces express the wonder of strangers in new worlds. Who were these extraordinary magic-makers who imitated the sounds of animals in the night, or drank tobacco juice through funnels, or wore collars filled with stinging ants?
Shamans Through Time is a rare chronicle of changing attitudes toward that which is strange and unfamiliar. With essays by such acclaimed thinkers as Claude Lévi-Strauss, Black Elk, Carlos Castaneda, and Frank Boas, it provides an awesome glimpse into the incredible shamanic practices of cultures around the world.
Introduction: Five Hundred Years of Shamans and Shamanism - Jeremy Narby and Francis Huxley
Part One: The Christian View: "Ministers of the Devil"
Part Two: The Humanist View Becomes Rationalist: From "Esteemed Jugglers" to "Imposters"

While pre-publicity for "The Vagina Monologues" has received some side glances and questioning reactions due to its not-so-subtle title, the play, to be performed at Tennessee Tech University by the Tech Players on Feb. 14 as part of the national V-Day initiative, is really just a play that focuses on women and their trials, using both tragedy and comedy to get its point across.
"This is really an unusual play for the theater Ð the theater tends to be so male-oriented," says Mark Creter, director of the play and of the Backdoor Playhouse.
"But this play is really about trying to get people more comfortable talking about sexuality, about educating people about what it is to be a woman."
Of course Creter, as a man, has a different perspective. But he adds that his close relationships with women throughout his life Ð his grandmother, mother, and his wife Ð enable him to help direct an honest, sincere and entertaining performance of a play about women only.
"In a way, I'm almost jealous," he confesses. "This play is so intoxicating. It comes from a real genuine place Ð a place of love of women and their stories, even the hard stories."
The stories in the play range from a woman who learned to be comfortable with her body with the help of her boyfriend to accounts from Bosnian women who were repeatedly raped during the war.
"Eve Ensler's philosophy is that the more comfortable women can be with their bodies, the more proud they can be to claim their bodies and their sexuality, this will empower them. In turn, with women being more empowered, men will also be more empowered, and they will see women as human beings, not objects," Creter explains.
The play's cast is made up entirely of women Ð 24 to be exact. Most have university ties; they are either students or faculty members or members of the staff. But several women who have never before participated in the Backdoor Playhouse signed on to this performance because they saw the social significance, Creter said.
"There's this incredible bonding and support going on with the cast. Ultimately, this is a great project," Creter adds.
TTU's participation in V-Day, a national effort to raise awareness about violence against women and to find ways to end it, is co-sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women. Following each performance at the Backdoor Playhouse, a public discussion and question and answer session about various women's issues, including violence against women, will be held with a panel of experts.
As part of the national V-Day initiative, "The Vagina Monologues" will also be performed in Tennessee at Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee campuses in Knoxville and Chattanooga.
Money raised at the TTU performances will be donated to the Tennessee Task Force Against Domestic Violence and its recently established Senator Tommy Burks Legal Defense Fund, a new program to combat domestic violence in the lives of Tennesseans.
A table in the Roaden University Center will be set up from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb.13 and Wednesday, Feb. 14. Information about "The Vagina Monologues," the V-Day Initiative, services available through Genesis House for domestic violence victims and services offered by TTU's Women's Center will be distributed.
To find out more about the performance of "The Vagina Monologues," tune in to WTTU 88.5 FM on Monday, Feb. 12, from 3 to 4 p.m.when Creter along with Binney Stumpf and Colleen Hays, both members of the Commission on the Status of Women, will be interviewed on the live talk show, "Listen Up!" sponsored by the TTU Public Affairs Office and WTTU.Performances at the Backdoor Playhouse are set for Wednesday, Feb. 14, at 8 p.m. as part of the "V-Day 2001 College Initiative," and then again on Thursday, Feb. 15, at 10 p.m. and on Friday, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $6 and $3 for students and senior citizens.

35mm Slide Scanning (Digitizing)
Slide Transfer onto CD-ROM, DVD or Hard Drive (HD)
The 35mm slide image gets scanned at a very high resolution (of 4800 x 3200 pixels) allows for the images' archival. (RGB Color System)
Have your slides digitized to before it is too late! Over time they lose their color and clarity, and mold build-up can damage them for good.
So that you do not end up getting uneven images with lopsided black borders around each picture, we crop part of the edge of each image. However, if you do not want us to crop the image, we can do that. Please clearly specify this in your online order form (at the: Use for additional instructions section.) Then, you will be provided with a transfer which has the full image with a black border.
We provide JPEG files. However, if you would like RAW files, please be sure to specify that when you place your order! Our RAW files are .ARW Sony-type RAW files. We need to see your note about that. We add an extra 20% of the transfer cost for providing RAW files. This price increase will NOT show on the Online Estimate. Also note that each slide will need about 36.5 to 37 MB of storage, so 300 slides would require about 11.1 GB of storage space. RAW files are about 1/3 larger than jpeg files, so we recommend you transfer to either Hard Drive or Blu-ray!
Digital transfer of slides
You will need to turn images yourself - just one file is provided per slide
Our process for digitizing your slides:
(This process included in A, B and C Transfers)
Prepping slides for transfer: Before we transfer your slides, we need to place them in a Kodak or Gepe tray. All slides get turned to a "landscape" position, including your vertical images.
If you provide your slides in trays, we will carefully mark the very edge of the slides with a black marker before turning them into a "landscape" position. This ensures that we can turn them back into their original position as delivered to us.
(This process included in A, B and C Transfers)
The transfer process: Each slide gets individualized attention. In order to achieve the best result, very dark slides usually need more light during their exposure, whereas over-exposed slides usually need less.
The adjustment of the exposure is done manually and takes an expert to achieve the correct result. Just after the image is digitized, the histogram data of the image is checked to make sure the exposure was optimal.
Resulting image from STEP #2:
NOTE: Image still needs horizontal flipping (and vertical turning if it is a vertical image.)
Flipping and turning is NOT included with Transfer Type A.
STEP #3 is only included in B and C transfers.
If you are computer savvy, you can do this yourself - so might choose Transfer A.

Auto Hypnosis
If You're in the Market for the Planet's Priciest Production Cars, Look No Further
Joshua Shapiro
From the Print Edition:
Pierce Brosnan, Nov/Dec 97
Of all the deceased presidents, the picture of the 28th, Woodrow Wilson, on the United States $100,000 bill commands by far the most respect. Issued in 1934 and backed with gold, Wilsons gave the Federal Reserve bankers a means of accountsettlement long before the advent of electronic wire transfers. Today, dropping a Wilson--or more--is the hallmark of an ultraluxury-carbuyer.
No one needs a "Wilsonmobile." Of course, no one really needs a $40,000 designer gown or a $2,000,000 string of black pearls, either. At this rarefied level, cars are a pure extension of self, as personal in fit and finish as a fine Savile Row suit.
Since a vehicle of this sort is rarely an investment or a mere means of transportation, it stands to reason that acquiring one is an irrational lifestyle decision that expressesthe ego and achievement of the owner. For example, the in-your-face Lamborghini has considerable cachet with in-your-face athletic megastars. The baddest--Dennis Rodman, Mike Tyson and Deion Sanders, not a shrinking violet in the bunch--all picked up Diablo VTslast year.
What does a such a car bring its owner? Besides proclaiming an immunity to Richter-scale sticker shock, superluxury
automobiles offer exceptional styling, performance and exclusivity. They are undoubtedly the most beautiful, powerful, and rarestcars, to be kept hidden in estate garages or furtively glimpsed onthe road. Most are individually built and come only in runs ofabout 300 a year, the number of vehicles Toyota makes in 15 minutes. Buying one means showing up at the club with the assurance that the rest of your foursome didn't drive up in the same car.And suddenly, every parking valet and service-station attendantis your best friend.
You do not save up for these cars by putting pennies into a cookie jar; nor are they financed by taking out a home-equityloan. The base price is just that. Options, when available, aren't cheap: a rear spoiler for a Lamborghini makes a $5,000 tailwind, while a cell phone to call from your Porsche Turbo will ring up charges of an additional $3,134. Luxury, gas-guzzler and localsales taxes typically add 16 percent to the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Then there are annual expenses for registration,insurance, gas, service and perhaps state tax and parking that can add another 10 percent. Replacement tires alone for these exotic creatures can run to more than $2,000 a set.
But the expenses directly associated with the car are only the beginning. A purely aspirational buyer will feel compelled to play the part. This creates an urge to upgrade wardrobe, restaurantsand clubs, and even friends or spouses to accommodate the imageof the new vehicle. It's difficult to go on a job interview or shopat the A&P while driving a Bentley. And if you have mortgaged your house to buy one, every dent and ding becomes a source of recurring anxiety.
The profile of dream-car owners: male entrepreneurs with successful, private businesses that throw off significant cash. One MercedesS 600 owner runs a business that nets $40 million in profits a year. While perhaps 15 percent of superluxury automobiles are leased, most are purchased for cash, apparently as something of an afterthought. One Mercedes dealer recounts the story of an unassuming couple who came in to shop for an S-class sedan. The husband couldn't decide between the S 500 and the S 600. Finally, he asked the salesman, "Which one would my chauffeur prefer?" After hearing that the S 600 would certainly be more appreciated, he bought two, for cash.
The garage manager at the Beverly Hills Hotel tells a similar story of a visiting guest calling the local Ferrari dealership, which dispatched six cars to the hotel for review. The guest bought twofor cash and left them covered in long-term parking at the hotel.
A Bentley buyer is likely to have six other cars already. A hundred thousand or more for an entire two-ton package of machinery doesn't seem expensive from the perspective of someone who spenta Wilson or more for two ounces of exclusive tourbillon wristwatch.

Question: On your Project Teal-J, you crammed a 5.7L Hemi into that thing. I have a '97 Dakota that is both my daily driver and my toy, and I would like to do a swap. Could you tell me where I could look for a replacement wiring harness like the one that was used/made for the Teal-J?
Erick Andraca
via fourwheeler.com
Answer: I don't know-the two vehicles should be somewhat similar, but how close is anyone's guess. Here are some places that have done the Hemi swap into Jeeps. Perhaps they can help you out with the proper wiring harness: Deibel Jeep in Flagstaff, Arizona (928/774-5337, www.deibeljeep.com), Burnsville Offroad in Burnsville, Minnesota (952/890-3990, www.burnsvilleoffroad.com), and Teraflex in Murray, Utah (801/288-2585, www.teraflex.biz).
Question: A few months ago, I wrote about seemingly high temperatures for the Ford AOD transmission installed in my '55 Willys Wagon. I appreciate your taking the time to investigate this situation. The situation was resolved by moving the temperature sensor probe from the filter, which is in the cooling line to the transmission oil pan. The reason for the seemingly high temperatures is because the cooling line pumps out "used" transmission fluid directly off of the torque converter, and its temperature depends on the load applied to the vehicle. A more accurate temperature is indicated at the oil pan, which is the source for the transmission fluid that the transmission actually uses. After making this change, the temperatures run between 130 and 180 degrees, which seems much more normal.
Now a quick question, and hopefully a correspondingly easy answer: Why are some aftermarket LED tail-, parking- or stoplight conversion lights not DOT-approved? What criterion must such LEDs meet to be "street legal"?
Thanks for a very helpful column and informative magazine.
Gary Holmes
Concord, CA
Answer: Guess I should have asked where you were reading the temperature. An inline temperature gauge is never very accurate. I always recommend reading the temperature of a fluid, if at all possible, right in the oil sump-or in your case, the transmission pan. This is the important temperature.
As to the lights, my understanding is that they have to be submitted for approval and the testing costs money. Maybe the manufacturer figures he won't sell enough to make it worthwhile. However, I am going to check up on this soon and see if I can get an answer as to the testing involved.
Question: I just got the Feb. '07 issue and thought it was great. However, there are a few problems. The first is from "Techline" about the NP203/205 question. The proper shift pattern is, from front to back: 4-Low Lock, 4-Low, Neutral, 4-High, then 4-High Lock, and not as you described.
The second problem is not really a problem but additional advice from "Willie's Workbench," in that before you drain anything on a vehicle, especially on our type of rigs, is to remove the fill plug, cover, cap, screw, and so forth before draining. This is experience talking. I have personally seen unremovable fill plugs on rear axles and transfer cases and had to make my own fill ports. For those unfortunate enough to not follow this simple-but-maybe-crucial first step in the process, nothing is worse than draining the life blood from your vehicle and not be able to put it back.
Michael Hodge
via fourwheeler.com
Answer: Yep, you're right. My own personal proofreader really slipped up on this one. I will banish her to scrubbing my transfer case with a toothbrush for that one. I must have been dreaming of Moab when I wrote that about the shift pattern, or maybe the NV242 conversion for my own Grand Cherokee. On second thought, I should be the one scrubbing the transfer case. Thanks for the catch.
I thought I had turned a lot of wrenches in my time, but I doubt that I have ever come across unremovable fill plugs on a transfer case or rear axle. OK, I assume that you mean fill plugs that are put in so tightly, and are now corroded so badly, that they don't want to come out without a lot of unfriendly persuasion. So your idea of checking the fill plug first just may not be a bad idea. Thanks for the tip.

This early book of Niven is about a man, Matt Keller, a miner, who lives at Plateau - one of the colonies of the colonies far from Earth. The Plateau society is divided into 2 groups: The descendants of the commanding crew of the two original spaceships that arrived at first to Plateau, and the colonists, the descendants of the passengers of those ships.

Flatlander is a collection of the short stories about Gil "the ARM" Hamilton. Gil is an investigator for the ARM, which investigates organlegging (illegal organ theft), violations of the fertility laws, and technological lawbreaking/new technology. This is a true SF/Mystery book, in that it adheres to the conventions of both genres; as such, it's rare and impressive. The stories do vary somewhat in quality, but overall, this is a dynamite book....
Man has pretty much conquered inner space. The Moon, Mars, Mercury, asteroid mining, spaceships, fusion drives, human hibernation to cope with long journeys and boredom...the hard sci-fi fan has plenty to enjoy here. Niven is good at picking up realistic science, across the disciplines, particularly physics and biology, and taking the ideas to the next stage, and the next, and the next. By and large it hangs together well. But the real reason I like this...

Rainbow Mars features the continuing adventurers of the time traveller Svetz, who first appeared in the short story collection "Flight of the Horse". If you are lucky (depending upon your geographical location) you will get a free copy of these stories in the same volume as Rainbow Mars. Its good to see that Niven can still write in the old style - the plot of this story allows a prime opportunity for him to "play tourist" again. The premise of...
